What’s hot in downtown Trail this summer aside from the weath-er?

It’s the sizzling popularity of the Trail Market on the Esplanade.

In response to the growing demand for vendor space, an expan-sion into Helena Street between Cedar and Dewdney avenues will happen at the market on Friday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

“We are getting bigger and bet-ter,” said Coun. Eleanor Gattafoni-Robinson.

“In my world this is what the market is all about,” she said.

“Because the bigger we get the more people we will bring to the downtown core.”

The reason the city and its part-ner, the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce (TCOC), decided to add extra space to the south end of town’s market area is two-fold.

“Jubilee Park was filling up and it was getting difficult for some vend-

ors to pack their wares further and further from the street,” said Norm Casler, TCOC executive director.

“In addition we have several amazing food vendors that want to join us.”

Increased square footage will accommodate the high demand for vendors with larger booths such as produce trucks; and it is seen as a way to connect the market with existing shops located within the downtown core.

“We are getting a lot of nice com-ments from the downtown mer-chants saying that the activities on market days are noticeable,” said Gattafoni-Robinson.

“And that is exactly what we hoped for, more people shopping downtown.”

At Casa Di Cioccolato (Path of Quality) on Bay Avenue, Daniel Haley has owned his artisan con-sumables business since Christmas, and said the market has definitely increased foot traffic and visibility to his unique store.

“Absolutely I notice an increase in people on those days,” said Haley.

In spite of recent rainfall that threatened much of southern B.C. with flooding, summer is here and that means it’s time for fire bans.

Effective July 8, all open fires are prohibited within the area covered by the Southeast Fire Centre, an area that stretches from the B.C./Alberta border in the east to the Boundary area in the west and from the Canada/U.S. Border in the south and to the North Columbia/Golden region in the north.

The fire ban covers all B.C. Parks, Crown, and private lands, but doesn’t cover municipalities that have fire prevention bylaws and are

serviced by fire departments.Although the prohibition

doesn’t include small camp fires, the Fire Information Officer for the Southeast Fire Centre, Jordan Turner, recommends public vigi-lance and suggests people heading into provincial and private camp-grounds should contact the camp-ground operators to check on rules for individual sites.

“We want people to take the proper steps when having camp fires,” said Turner.

“Have water on hand to put out fires when they’re done and have necessary hand tools on hand to control the fires.”

When Montrose drummer Shane Deyotte signed on last summer with Victoria-based indie rockers, Acres of Lions, he knew they were an actively touring band but he had no idea just how active he would be. And with the release of their latest full-length album, “Home(s)” in the beginning of April things have only stepped up.

“These guys are road warriors,” Deyotte said in a recent phone conversa-tion from Grande Prairie. “I started with them last July and I didn’t get home until Christmas.”

Deyotte and his band mates, Castlegar native, Jeff Kalesnikoff on lead vocals and guitar, Nelson’s Dan Ball on bass, and Kelowna’s Tyson Yerex on guitar and keyboards, were on a brief respite after an extensive spring adventure. The group was on a whirlwind tour through stops in Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Thunder Bay, Moncton, Halifax, Charlottetown, Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, St. Catherine’s, and Toronto.

However, imagined stereotypes of previous era’s rock bands, travelling the country, destroying hotel rooms, and causing general mayhem don’t necessar-ily apply to 2013 and an Acres of Lions tour.

“I’d like to think we’re professional about it but that may be stretching it,” said Deyotte. “We have a lot of friends in Edmonton and Calgary so there was the odd late night there but it’s a rigorous tour schedule and everyone has to take turns driving the van. We’re especially low key during the week. We have lots of fans coming out for the shows and we want to give them the best experience possible.”

The band has been on quite a ride since the April 1 release their third album of “Home(s)” with being given the first song position of CBC Radio 3’s Summer CD and rotation in their play-list, airplay on numerous other radio stations, appearances at Canada Music Week in Toronto and on Edmonton mor-ning television, Much Music, and broad exposure in print and on the web.

“We go to places we’ve never been before and people already know the music,” said Deyotte. “It’s kind of weird but we love it.”

With the band poised to resume it’s gruelling touring schedule, Deyotte is excited to carry on with the adventure.

They played Canada Day on the lawns of the B.C. Legislature in Victoria and

from there went on to Toronto for an appearance at the Van’s Warped Tour, then back to BC to play at the “Rock the Shores”

Festival in Victoria where they’ll be playing with bands such as Weezer, City and Colour, Matthew Good, and the Sam Roberts Band.

“To be able to play the Warped tour in Toronto and play with these bands is a huge deal for all os us,” said Deyotte. “When I was a kid, before I could even drive, I went to the Warped Tour and saw some of these guys play. To be able to play on the same stage is just amazing.”

After Victoria the band carries on to Alberta for the “Shake the Lake” festival in Sylvan Lake, back to B.C. for “Rock of the Woods” in Duncan and onwards. Plans are already on the books for a fall tour.

Deyotte is, so far, taking it all in

stride. He was in northern Alberta taking advantage of the break in their schedule to put in some time in his work as a welder.

“I’ll only be here for a couple weeks,” he said. “You don’t make all that much on the road and I’d like to be able to take in a couple of shows myself and I like to catch the odd hockey game.”

However, he doesn’t anticipate weld-ing forever.

“I’ve gotten to see some great places and I know there are a lot more to come,” he said. “The band is my top priority, working up here is OK but if things continue to grow they way they have been, I don’t think I’ll be able to keep it up. I’m alright with that.”

with new album release

While Acres of Lions band members were preparing for their Canada Day performance on the steps of the B.C. Legislature in Victoria, the RCMP were at work foiling an alleged plot to set off two home-made bombs intended to disrupt the celebration.

“The gig went really well, I think the count was 40,000 people in attendance so it was quite a cool experience to be performing for so many,” said Deyotte. “We heard about it (the bomb threat) Tuesday morning and feel very grateful for the work by the RCMP to keep the city safe. It would have been devastating and leaves a bit of an eerie feeling knowing that the possibility of a terrorist attack on site was present.”

John Stuart Nuttall and Amanda Marie Korody were charged with three counts each: knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity, making or possessing an explosive device, and conspiracy to place an explosive device with the intent to cause death or injury.

FROM PAGE 1“I think we need to focus on

trying to really figure out what will interest people and make them want to walk through and mingle in downtown year-round.”

Simone Park, manager of L’Bears Health Food on Cedar Avenue for the last 20 years, said although her business is usually a shopping destination, she conceded that the market has brought in a few new faces.

“The first market day was great, we had a really good day,” she said.

“With the weather for the second one, we didn’t see much difference although we did get a few people come in, curious to see what we have.”

This week, market-goers might experience a long wait line for a first-time booth, but the queue won’t be for fresh produce, goodies or knick-knacks.

Instead, the booth will be manned by Trail council, on hand to engage shoppers in conversation.

In June, Trail council com-mitted to increasing face-to-

face public consultation and engagement as one of its top 2013 priorities.

“There will be a City of Trail booth set up with a member of Trail council present for the duration,” said Andrea Jolly, communications and events coordinator for the city.

She said councillors will use the opportunity to answer ques-tions from the public and listen to comments and feedback.

The booth will display cur-rent drawing of the downtown plans and some informational pieces, added Jolly.

MP asking for public input on budgetT h e N e l s o N s T a r

The local MP is asking residents of the region to put some thought into how they want their tax dollars to be spent.

The Federal Finance Committee’s pre-budget consultation process is now underway and BC Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko said it is open to all and provides a good opportunity for Canadians to contribute their thoughts and suggestions on how federal tax revenue is spent.

“I would like to urge individuals and organ-izations in the BC Southern Interior to use this process to share their ideas with the committee,” said Atamanenko, who is part of the NDP caucus in Ottawa.

Atamanenko added that subsequent pre-budget hearings are to be announced in the fall that will focus on six specific themes: fiscal

sustainability and economic growth, vulnerable Canadians, research and innovation, rural and urban communities, government efficiency and maximizing employment opportunities.

Federal NDP finance critic Peggy Nash is part of the committee and is urging Atamanenko’s constituents to take part in helping plan the 2014 federal budget.

“We always receive a wide range of innovative ideas and I know that I speak on behalf of all committee members in saying that we are look-ing forward to the submissions this year,” Nash stated in a press release.

The online portal for the current consultation will be open until August 5 at: parl.gc.ca/FINA/PBC2013. Those who cannot access the internet can request assistance by contacting the clerk of the committee at 613-992-9753.

FROM PAGE 1Bylaws vary from one munici-

pality to the other and residents are advised to adhere to local regulations regarding back yard burning.

Tracey Butler, deputy chief administrative officer for the City of Rossland, said although the city isn’t concerned about small recreational fires, there are limits.

“People can have fires in a fire pit or fireplace but they have to be no larger than 90 centimetres,” she said.

“We don’t allow any burning of yard waste or garbage, in the open or in barrels, without a permit and permitted fires have to be based on the current smoke venti-lation index for the area.”

The City of Trail stands by its Fire Safety and Prevention bylaw, which states, “No person shall engage in open burning.”

Melissa Zahn, administra-tive assistant for the Village of Fruitvale, says that the village fol-lows the Southeast Fire Centre’s recommendations for anything not covered by its bylaws.

The prohibition, which runs until Sept. 20, specifically targets the burning of waste, slash piles,

grass fires, and the use of fire-works in uncontrolled areas.

“There are no fires at this point in our area,” said the Southeast Fire Centre’s Turner.

“The hazard level for the Trail area is still low. The forest fuels were soaked with all the recent rainfall and it will take some time to dry out enough to present a real danger.”

Turner says that the Fire Centre’s crews have responded to 27 wildfires in the region, 22 of which have been caused by humans.

Some of the main human caused hazards are dropped ciga-rettes, unattended campfires, and even broken glass acting as a magnifier of the sun’s rays to start fires.

“All human-caused fires are preventable,” said Turner. “We want to ensure public safety and make sure we’re not having to spend our manpower dealing with fires that could have been avoid-ed.”

The public is reminded that they can report wildfires or unattended camp fires by calling toll free 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on a cellphone.

Invermere has a chance to win $25,000 for the Rotary Club’s splash park project.

The splash park is one of 20 finalist community projects across the country vying for ten $25,000 prizes awarded through Kraft’s Celebration Tour.

Keri-Anne Thomas, who nominated Invermere and the splash park, was one of 630 other Canadians who nomin-ated projects in their commun-ities for the award.

The finals of Celebration Tour, which is in its fifth year, pit each of the 20 finalists head-to-head with another finalist. The 10 winners of these head-to-head match-ups receive the

funding prizes. Usually two communities in

a match-up are from the same province or at least the same region. Invermere and the splash park project are paired against Pemberton, B.C., which is seeking the award to help rebuild its community BMX bike track.

“The splash park will be an invaluable addition to our community and will provide a missing element to waterfront family fun and entertainment for the youngest crowd,” states the Invermere nomination.

“It will allow families to get more out of Kinsmen Beach as older children can play at the lake or on the dock while the younger kids can safely play in the water at the splash park.”

The splash and spray park would be on Kinsmen Beach and is expected to cost $320,000.

The Rotary Club commit-ted $50,000 to the project and, so far, has fundraised an addi-tional $20,000 for it. Invermere and the other 19 finalists were announced on Sunday, June 30th.

The winner of each match-up is determined by online vot-ing, which occurs on a different day for each match-up, always starting at noon and running for 24 hours.

Voting for the Invermere splash park-Pemberton BMX track match-up will start July 11 at noon at www.kraftcelebra-tiontour.ca. All winning com-munities will also host a live TSN broadcast.

Minister defends province’s backing of Bollywood awards

t H e P e n t i c t o n W e S t e r n n e W SA donation fund has now

been fully disbursed to people affected by the Testalinden Dam collapse.

In the wake of the June 2010 disaster near Oliver, the public donated $43,500 to help people on 26 properties that were evacuated when the dam breached and a wall of mud raced downslope.

The funds were distributed by the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, which issued a press release last week to confirm all the money is spoken for.

About $13,400 was handed out in August and September of

2010 in the form of food vouch-ers, while the balance was tied up during settlement of insur-ance and provincial assistance claims.

The RDOS was later pro-vided a list of people who still had unmet needs and the final $28,890 was evenly split among 12 parties.

RDOS communications co-ordinator Andrew Stuckey said the last cheque was cut in late May.

A report released one month after the mudslide blamed a lit-any of errors for the Testalinda Dam breach that caused the massive mudslide. At the time the dam burst it had been the

subject of warnings for decades.Hal Kreiger had been hik-

ing in the Testalinda area and reported something was wrong at the dam site to the Osoyoos Tourist Information booth three days before the mud tor-rent went down the hill.

The information was relayed to local RCMP via a non-emer-gency number.

A dispatcher contacted the district office of the Ministry of Forests and Range in Vernon, who then left a voicemail with a Ministry of Forests compli-ance and enforcement tech-nician. The message wasn’t received until after the mud-slide occurred.

VICTORIA – TV ratings of around 30 million households in India don’t mean an unhappy ending for B.C.’s $11 mil-lion investment in hosting a Bollywood movie awards show, Jobs Minister Shirley Bond says.

Premier Christy Clark was widely criticized for the deci-sion to invest $11 million to host the Times of India Film Awards, an upstart competitor to India’s 60-year-old National Film Awards that was staged in Vancouver April 6. At the time, Clark said the show would be seen by 400 million people.

NDP leader Adrian Dix zeroed in on the TV ratings in the legislature Wednesday, calling it a “vastly inflated” and “totally fictitious” rationale for spending

millions on the awards show.An NDP freedom of informa-

tion request for the business case behind the awards uncov-ered “a couple of emails, a press release … and a poster with the premier’s picture on it,” Dix said.

Bond said the Indian news-paper group reports 32 million TV screens for the June 16 tele-cast in India, with as many as 20 million South Asian people in other countries seeing an inter-national simulcast.

A webcast by Sony reached another eight million online viewers, and the program will be rebroadcast on TV as many as 11 more times, Bond said.

Asked if B.C. would sponsor the event again, Bond didn’t rule it out.

“We recognize the benefit of reaching out to India, and this is one way to do it,” she said. “We’re going to measure the outcomes.”

Bond said the week-long event, with launch news confer-

ences in Vancouver and Mumbai, a global voting campaign and a music event at the PNE before the main awards show, gener-ated 6,000 direct and indirect jobs in B.C.

The Times Group also booked 3,000 hotel rooms in Vancouver.

Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Bains told the legislature the $11 million would have been better spent on school expan-sions for students in portable classrooms in his constituency.

t H e c A n A D i A n P r e S SVANCOUVER - B.C.’s education minister denies accusations by the

teachers’ union that the government interfered with its bargaining process by appointing a single negotiator to serve as its lead on con-tract talks.

Peter Fassbender says the government is simply adhering to a request made last year by the BC Teachers’ Federation for the oppor-tunity to bargain directly with the provincial government.

The BCTF says it withdrew the request after negotiating a new bar-gaining framework earlier this year, and teachers are disappointed that the government suspended what they say was the first constructive round of bargaining in years.

Two weeks ago, Fassbender revoked the mandate of the employer representative and replaced it with negotiator Peter Cameron, who has been tasked with securing a 10-year-deal with teachers.

Fassbender insists bargaining needed to be paused so that a frame-work on how to achieve long-term stability in classrooms can be set up. The teachers’ contract expired last weekend.

Canadian troops in Afghanistan were able to hoist their favourite regional brew, includ-ing Kokanee, to toast Canada Day, thanks to employees of Labatt Breweries of Canada.

Beer from each Labatt brewery across the country was shipped to the remote Asian country, following a tradition of troop support that dates back to the Second World War, when Labatt opened the Motor Mechanics Army Trade School to train soldiers as mechanics.

Brewery and logistics employees from each of Labatt’s six breweries across Canada as well

as the company’s Mississauga, Ont., distribu-tion centre joined forces to honour Canada’s armed forces with a taste from home — a cold beer representing the various regions of Canada where Labatt breweries are located.

Employees specifically chose a beer brewed locally at each brewery to ensure troops from everywhere in Canada had a familiar taste. Creston’s Columbia Brewery sent Kokanee, and Budweiser was sent from Edmonton, Labatt Blue from London, Ont., Labatt Extra Dry from Montreal/LaSalle, Que., Alexander Keith’s IPA from Halifax, N.S., and Blue Star from St. John’s, N.L.

JOHNSON, LAWRENCE (LARRY) — Our wonderful dad, grandfather, great grandfather and great, great grandfather passed away at Heron Grove, Cottage 4, Vernon, B.C. on June 26 with his family by his side.

Larry was born July 25, 1919 in At-water, Saskatchewan. He was predeceased by his wife Hilda in 2006, 7 brothers and 3 sisters. He is sur-vived by one sister, Myrtle Martin, of Sprague WA and a very special sister-in-law Marg Obenauer, of Vernon.

He will be lovingly remembered by his two daughters; Cheryl (Richard) Keir of Vernon, B.C. and Gail (Dennis) Regnier of Montrose, B.C., six grand-children; Larry (Heidi) Keir, Randy (Debbie) Keir, Tina (Grant) Latta, Tara Hay, Kevin (Jen) Pedersen, Travis (Dan-ielle) Regnier, 11 great grand children and 1 great, great granddaughter, who he was fortunate to meet just recently, and many nieces and nephews.

Larry and Hilda were married on March 21,1944, in Churchbridge, Sask . They travelled to Trail on their honey-moon and liking the area, they decided to stay. Larry gained employment with Cominco Ltd., retiring in 1977. They also purchased and named the “Handy Store” in 1944 and spent many years residing in the Trail and Montrose areas before retiring to Christina Lake. Their � nal move was to Vernon in 1995

to be closer to their daughter. They enjoyed 62 years of marriage.

They loved to travel and visited many parts of the US and Canada as well as Mexico, the Carribean, and Hawaii. Dad had a passion for � shing and the outdoors and was an amaz-ing gardener. He loved to be around his family and friends and his grand children meant the world to him. He was a member of the Peace Lutheran Church in Vernon and his faith helped him through the dif� cult times.

Larry, nicknamed “Happy”, always had a smile which lit up the room, a “thumbs up” motion when he was feel-ing down and the unique waving of his � ngers to say “Hello”.

A service will be held at Peace Lu-theran Church, 1204 30th Avenue, Ver-non B.C. on Tuesday, July 9th at 1:00 p.m. with Pastor Rick Schulz of� ciat-ing. Interment to follow, Pleasant Val-ley Cemetery, Vernon.

We wish to thank Dr. Dippenaar and the amazing staff at Heron Grove, Cot-tage #4 for Dad’s excellent care.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - Avril Lavigne

and Chad Kroeger married Monday at the medieval Chateau de la Napoule out-side Cannes, France - a loca-tion chosen in part because the bride was “obsessed with castles,” reveals an interview with Hello! Canada.

The magazine is promis-ing an exclusive interview with the Canadian rockers as well as 14 pages of photo-graphs from their wedding in this week’s issue.

In excerpts provided by the publication, Lavigne says she wanted the location and theme of her second wedding to be “over the top.”

The magazine reports that the couple’s wedding song was one of their own co-compositions: “Have I Said That I Love You?”

In the interview, the 28-year-old punk-pop singer enthuses that Kroeger is a

“really good person,” who’s attentive and “treats (her) like a lady.”

The Nickelback frontman, 38, was likewise compliment-ary of his new bride, saying that it felt like the “stars had aligned” when they met.

“It felt like fate was inter-vening and I was just being this wake-up call: don’t let this one get away,” he told the magazine.

On the couple’s future, he added: “I’d love to be watch-ing our kids get married and the two of us vacationing nonstop and just enjoying each other.”

Kroeger and Lavigne have written together for her upcoming fifth album, including the anthemic lead single “Here’s to Never Growing Up.”

The couple was engaged last August but kept mum about details for their wed-ding, even as Lavigne

pledged her enthusiasm for the imminent nuptials at the recent MuchMusic Video Awards.

It’s the first marriage for

Kroeger, while Lavigne split from first husband Deryck Whibley (frontman for Canadian punk outfit Sum 41) in 2009.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SSAN FRANCISCO - Doug Engelbart, the inventor of

the computer mouse and developer of early incarnations of email, word processing programs and the Internet, has died at the age of 88.

The Computer History Museum, where Engelbart had been a fellow since 2005, says he died early Wednesday. The museum in Mountain View, California, was notified of the death in an email from his daughter, Christina. The cause of death wasn’t immediately known.

Engelbart’s biggest breakthrough was the computer mouse, which he developed in the 1960s and patented in 1970. At the time, it was a wooden shell covering two metal wheels.

The notion of operating the inside of a computer with a tool on the outside was ahead of its time. The mouse wasn’t commercially available until 1984, with Apple’s new Macintosh.

OPINION

Rhetoric in the face of terror hurts the messageThere's nothing

funny about the alleged terrorist plot to blow up the

B.C. Legislature on Canada Day.

The thought of massive carnage inflicted by terror-ists is often something we only see from a distance be it in the Middle East or some large American city.

However, the foiled plot reminds us all that there are no specific tar-gets, especially when the so-called self-radicalized terrorist emerge from the shadows.

The work done by law enforcement often goes un-noticed and un-herald-ed and Monday was such a case.

Everything went off as normal in Victoria, chil-dren were laughing, music played and people were having fun celebrating Canada Day.

Meanwhile, the hard work done by the much-maligned RCMP not only saved countless lives at the scene but rescued many more from the potential ripple devastation of losing family members or friends.

There can never be an accurate gauge of how many lives might have been altered if the ter-

ror plot had succeeded but there's no doubt the undercover police work deserves our gratitude.

And while the officers prefer to remain anony-mous in such situations, that leaves plenty of spot-light on the politicians to fill the void.

Government officials are now tripping over one another to pat themselves on the back, get a few bonus points for thank-ing the RCMP and remind us that they are vigilantly protecting our democratic values.

It's all good to a point. I believe it's well-meaning to have a leader come out and show the citizens that they are standing up to any threats and support law enforcement.

However, as we saw with Premier Christy Clark on the steps of the Legislature Tuesday, they tend to go overboard.

“We are back at work today, undeterred and unafraid,” said Clark, never one to shy away from a photo opportunity or a media scrum.

Oddly, such a boast from many of today's politicians rings hollow. And that’s when the public begins to tune out the sound bites

from politicians.To make it sound like

even terrorists could not prevent our dedicated leaders from doing their job on a daily basis is basi-cally a spin-job concocted by backroom speech writ-ers.

Even if terrorists are thwarted, let's not forget the only people who have derailed the Legislature or Parliament in recent years are the politicians them-selves.

That's why the word “prorogue” has moved into the mainstream of our lexicon.

In 2008, Stephen Harper prorogued Parliament to avoid a non-confidence vote. He did it again in 2009 to dance around questions regard-

ing Afghanistan prisoners.Ontario Premier Dalton

McGuinty used that tactic to duck questions regard-ing gas plants.

And of course Clark pulled the same stunt last fall to avoid Opposition questions. In fact, the B.C. Legislature shame-fully only sat for 19 days in almost a full year (May 31, 2012 to May 14, 2013).

So for Clark, who doesn't yet hold a seat in the Legislature, to defi-antly stand up on the steps in Victoria and boast that nothing can stop the Legislature from doing its daily duties sounds more like rhetoric than reality.

Her blanket warning to terrorists that “they will not succeed,” is more hyperbole much like when she told Stanley Cup riot-ers that they will all face the harshest penalties under law.

Well the Canucks' 2011 Stanley Cup run is a faded memory but they are still parading rioters through the court system.

But that's the way the political spin system works.

Don't worry about what you did wrong but take a share of the credit when anything goes right.

And despite what our leaders say about standing up to terror, it's no secret that the constant reminder of the threat is the type of vitriol the government loves to keep in the spot-light to help finance more security measures and push the boundaries of our individual freedom with clandestine surveillance.

While Clark is saying “(Terrorists) want us to be governed by fear. They want us to look on each other with suspicion.”

Federal Public Safety Minister Vic Toews reminded us “(Monday's) arrests demonstrate that terrorism continues to be a real threat to Canada.”

So what do we actually take out of the events that unfolded on Canada Day?

On one hand we should be thanking the RCMP for a job well done and the expertise in which they performed it.

On the other hand, we should be telling our pro-vincial and federal leaders to take a more subdued tone and offer comfort and praise rather than cocki-ness and warnings on the heels of thwarted threats.

This year the Trail Swim team has been blessed with two excellent coaches that I feel need to be recognized and praised for their roles as leaders. Samme Beatson and Amanda Macasso have brought an atmosphere of hard work and technical insight, along with an attitude of enjoyment and unity, to the summer swim team.

These two young ladies are always on deck, totally focused, and interactive with all the swimmers with systemized workouts geared for a lot of energy output.

Because of great communi-cation and organization on their part, there is a spirit of harmony and leisure in the pool. Not only in practice, but at all the swim meets, the coaches show they are true cap-tains of the team by inspiring

and cheering on all the mem-bers to their personal best.

Swimming is not only “putting in the hours at the pool” but learning to love the sport on a personal level while encouraging and celebrating victories of fellow team mates.

A good balance of aspiring individual excellence, along with a sense of comradeship that views one another with respect, wherever they may be in the swimming world, is what defines true sportsmanship. I am proud to say that the Trial Stingray coaches demonstrate these attributes with maturity and humility.

This season, Samme and Amanda have greatly improved the technical development of the swimmers by focusing on their stroke formation.

I am a swimming Mom, and along with my 14-year-old son,

we are in our second season of competitive swimming.

I love the time I spend in the water with all the kids, getting to know them and watching their swimming times improve over the summer. I have espe-cially enjoyed the training experience under Samme and Amanda.

I want to publicly acknow-ledge and thank the Trail Stingray coaches for their hard work at an athletic level but also as character role models as coaches.

Sports needs to remain a place where anyone with an interest and aptitude is wel-come into an environment that is undivided in regards to abil-ity.

Thanks to the coaches and keep up the splendid work!

Sam GrebeTrail

Swim coaches deserve praise

Summer has finally arrived, and people from coast to coast are eager to get outside for some

fresh air and exercise. Many will join their friends, family mem-bers, or favourite four-legged companion on a stroll about their neighbourhood – but how many would consider doing the same with a member of their local govern-ment?

Earlier this year, the mayor of Ashland, K e n t u c k y , launched a pro-gram called ‘Walk with the Mayor’. Concerned with the obesity rate in his hometown, and a lack of civic engagement, the newly-elected Chuck Charles decided he would take to the street. Along with his dog, his wor-ship has scheduled nine walks throughout the summer to pro-mote healthy lifestyles, bring the government to the people, and foster a sense of commu-nity among neighbours. The routes are available online, and anyone can join Mayor Charles on his constitutionals, to get to know him better, discuss local priorities, and just enjoy the community on foot.

It is a simple initiative, but encouraging people to get out-side for a walk is a very effective way of furthering a number of important goals, from promot-ing healthy lifestyles to encour-aging healthier communities.

Besides ensuring everyone involved gets some exercise, citizens have responded pos-itively to the opportunity to speak with their mayor in a meaningful way. While many would be uncomfortable having

to schedule a meeting down at city hall, or feel harried with only a few seconds to shake his hand at a community event or during an election campaign, residents are able to spend an hour or more discussing local issues in a friendly and familiar setting – while leisurely touring

the community they share.

Given the ben-efits – and the ease with which it could be implemented – why don’t other m u n i c i p a l i t i e s attempt a similar initiative?

What if may-ors and city coun-cilors in cities big and small across

Canada committed to walking to and from work, say, 10 times between July and September, and invited their constituents to join them?

Obviously, it would be impractical for suburban coun-cilors to walk all the way to city hall, but they could begin with a healthy walk in their community, and then jump on public transit the rest of the way. This would provide the additional benefit of allowing them to experience a commute to work from outside their cars.

Elected officials in many urban centres are currently grappling with major spend-ing decisions regarding transit investment, so having a first-hand appreciation for the needs and challenges of navigating without a car could be useful when it comes time to ensure these funds actually benefits those who rely on public trans-portation infrastructure.

Moreover, it would give councilors, and anyone who joined them on their stroll, a new perspective on the city.

Focusing on getting to your destination behind the wheel does not provide the same opportunity to really see one’s hometown as walking does. The face of Canada’s urban com-munities is changing. It is important to give attention to mega projects like skyscrapers and other large developments, as politicians often do, but it is also worthwhile to see our neighbourhoods as cohesive wholes, something that is far easier done on foot than zipping through with your eyes and attention on the road.

Clearly, the goals of a ‘walk with your councilor to work’ program would be more quali-tative than quantitative, but that is definitely not a strike against the idea – especially considering the whole initiative would be free.

In fact, the municipal level of government has the most direct impact on Canadians’ lives but many citizens do not realize just how many services fall under their jurisdiction; having the opportunity to speak with their mayor or councilor could help residents understand the myriad roles city governments play. Participants would be able to put a face to the name of their representative, and enable them get to know each other on a more personal level.

It would be a small initiative, but could be a meaningful step in fostering civic engagement and understanding, promot-ing healthy lifestyles, and get-ting people out to enjoy what will hopefully be a beautiful Canadian summer.

By Jim BaileyTimes Sports EditorThe Trail AM

Ford Orioles made a remarkable run at the Canada Day Baseball Blast tournament in Kelowna on the week-end, coming one out away from a berth in Monday’s final against the Seattle Studs.

The Orioles swept throught the round robin going 3-0 with wins over Okanagan Athletics, 8-7, and Burnaby Collegiate, 3-1 and 4-2, then tak-ing out the Coquitlam Angels 6-5 in the quar-ter-final before facing Seattle’s Thurston County Senators in the semifinal.

“Overall, it was great,” said Oriole player-coach Jim Maniago. “That was the best baseball our team has played since we won provincials in 2008. Our pitching was excellent, defense was solid and we finally came through with the clutch hitting needed to win games.”

In Monday mor-ning’s semifinal, Kyle Paulson pitched five-and-two-thirds innings of shut out ball, before the Orioles could cap-italize. Maniago scored Chris Florko with a two-out base hit, and the O’s would take a tenuous 1-0 lead into the top of the seventh inning. The Orioles managed to get the first two outs, but a bean ball off the hand walked the third batter, and with one strike, the Senator lead-off hitter doubled to tie the game and send it to extra innings.

The Orioles would be unable to score in the bottom half of the seventh, and in the top of eight, a walk and a pass ball put runners on first and second.

With the game and a possible extra $5,000 on the line, the next batter singled on an 0-and-2 pitch to make it 2-1, send-ing Thurston County to the final against the Seattle Studs, and bringing an end to one of the best runs the Trail Orioles ever had at the tournament.

Nevertheless the Orioles played great

ball all weekend, par-ticularly in clutch situations, where they rallied consist-ently with two outs, overcoming deficits of five and seven runs. They also pocketed a cool $2,000, also reminding co-coach Dave Colquhoun of past provincial cham-pionship teams.

“The boys hit, and we bunted when we needed to get guys over,” but more import-antly says Colquhoun, “We scored guys with two outs, I mean if you can score runs with two outs, you’ll win more games. The guys played awesome, and reminded me of the year we won the prov-incials and Western Bs.”

The Seattle Studs would eventually win the tournament with an extra-inning 4-3 win over Thurston to take home $7,000 while the runner-up Senators would settle for $4,000.

Game breakdownGame 1: The

Orioles beat Burnaby Collegiate in the first match 3-1, on the strength of Kyle Paulson’s complete game three hitter. Burnaby jumped out to a first inning lead, but the O’s would tie in the fourth, and in the top of seven, Brady

Glover singled home Kyle Mace to give Trail the 2-1 lead. Scott Davidson would come up and knock in Glover for the insurance run.

Game 2: The Orioles found them-selves down 7-0 after two innings to the Okanagan Athletics. But Kellen Jones came into pitch and threw f i ve -and-one- th i rd innings, giving up no runs while striking out seven to shut the door.

The Orioles replied by scoring five runs in the bottom of three, all with two out. Scott Davidson, Jim Maniago, Dallas Calvin,

Jordon Kissock, Kyle Mace all had two out RBIs consecutively.

Trail tied it in the fifth with Jordan Kissock’s two run sin-gle. Then in the bot-tom of the seventh, with Dallas Calvin on second, Darrin Kissock had the game win-ning, walk-off base hit. Everyone in the line-up had at least one of the 14 hits with Scott Davidson going 3-for-4.

Game 3: The Orioles played Burnaby Collegiate again because the Calgary Redbirds had backed out due to the floods.

Dallas Calvin pitched a complete game three hitter, striking out 10 as the O’s went on to a 4-2 victory.

The O’s grabbed the lead in the top of the fourth with two out singles from Glover and Florko. Then, with the game tied 2-2, two out RBIs from Florko

and Maniago put the O’s ahead for good in the sixth. Davidson was 3-for-4, Glover 2-for-2, and Florko 2-for-3.

Quarterfinal vs Coquitlam.

The Orioles beat Coquitlam Angels 6-5 in another astounding come-from-behind vic-tory.

Down 5-1 in the fourth, Jordan Kissock came in to shut the door, throwing three scoreless innings, as the O’s rallied, scoring two runs in the fourth and one in the sixth to close the gap to 5-4.

Then in the bot-tom of the seventh, Calvin led off with a double and scored on Kissock’s single.

Mace walked, and Darrin Kissock bunt-ed them over before Glover came through with another walk-off base hit.

Calvin and Glover were 3-for-4, and Joel Graf went 2-for-3 at the plate.

Canadian curler Matt Dumontelle has been suspended for two years from competition after an anti-doping rule violation during the World Men’s Curling Championship in Victoria.

Dumontelle, the alternate player for the team skipped by Brad Jacobs, tested positive for the banned sub-stance Methandienone

Metabolites in a test following the gold-medal game.

The result does not affect Canada’s silver-medal finish at the World Championship, nor does it have any ramifications for the Jacobs team.

“We are dis-appointed to hear this news,” said Canadian Curling Association (CCA) Chief Executive Officer Greg Stremlaw in a release.

Phillies toppletop teams

“That was the best baseball our team has played

since we won provincials in

2008.”

Jim maniago

B y t i m e s s t a f fThe West Kootenay Single-A Phillies are get-

ting sharper as the season wears on, taking 2-of-3 in Washington State American Legion action on the long weekend.

The Phillies opened with a 12-2 shellacking of Whitman County Saturday in Pullman, before defeating the division leading Central Valley 13-7 in the first end of a doubleheader Monday.

“Braedon Zarikoff was unreal on the mound again, he won both games,” said coach Darren Miracle. “He was awesome. We took the number one seed the first game.”

In the second game against Central the Phillies were leading 8-3 in the fifth inning but the Valley rallied, scoring 12 runs in the final two innings for a 15-8 win.

“The wheels just fell off the wagon basically, but that’s the way it is sometimes,” said Miracle.

Central leads the Western Division with a 13-3 record while WKP improved its record to 3-6.

The team also travelled to Post Falls on Sunday to play a pair of exhibition games against the Northwest Premieres and although they lost both ends of a doubleheader 13-8 and 12-5, Miracle was happy with the way the team competed playing six games in three days.

“They are doing great, all the kids are play-ing fantastic ball,” the coach added. “We’re the youngest team out there and nobody can really believe we’re playing as well as we are.”

The young team is comprised of three 16-year-olds, one 15-year-old, two 14-year-olds and seven 13-year-old players.

The Phillies host a doubleheader this week-end at Butler Park, playing Whitman County Sunday at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

FROM PAGE 9“We take the issue

of doping in sports extremely seriously, and we stress repeat-edly and emphatic-ally to our athletes how important it is to respect the rules set down by the World Anti-Doping Agency. We respect the find-ings of the tests, and will pursue no further action on behalf of the athlete in question.”

D u m o n t e l l e informed the CCA, World Curling Federation and the World Anti-Doping Agency that he has acknowledged the vio-lation and has waived his right to appeal the finding.

His two-year sanc-tion ends on May 6, 2015 and makes him ineligible to partici-pate in any sport that is part of the Canadian

Anti-Doping Program during the time of the suspension.

“I take full respon-sibility for the find-ings of the positive test at the World C h a m p i o n s h i p in Victoria,” said Dumontelle. “I am truly sorry for letting down my teammates, the Canadian Curling Association and curl-ing fans across Canada.

“I was taking a workout supplement that I believed was safe; clearly, it was not and I regret that decision. I had no intentions of trying to ‘beat the system.’ I was made aware by our Canadian Curling Association High Performance staff of my responsibilities to respect and follow the rules as set down by the World Anti-Doping Agency. At the end of

the day I accept that it was, and is, my responsibility to make sure that I am playing by those rules.”

Second E.J. Harnden responded to the news for Team Jacobs, by saying:

“We have been informed of the posi-tive finding for alter-nate player Matt Dumontelle, and while we remain friends with Matt, we in no way condone his actions. We respect the rules of the the World Anti-Doping Agency, and we also respect the pro-cess and the resulting penalty.”

Dumontelle was added to Team Jacobs following its victory at the 2013 Northern Ontario champion-ship. He did not participate in any games at the World Championship.

Two year suspension for Dumontelle

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNEW YORK - Rick DiPietro

is now a former New York Islanders goalie after he cleared waivers and had his long con-tract bought out by the team.

The Islanders used a com-pliance buyout Wednesday to remove the final eight years of the goalie’s deal from the club’s salary cap.

New York will pay the 31-year-old DiPietro $1.5 mil-lion for each of the next 16 years - double the years left on his original 15-year pact with the Islanders.

The No. 1 pick in the 2000 draft, DiPietro has been lim-ited to 50 NHL games since the 2008-09 season, plagued by multiple concussions and hip and knee injuries that required

surgery.In 318 career NHL games,

all with the Islanders, DiPietro went 130-136-8-28. Only Billy Smith played more games in goal for New York. DiPietro was 2-7 in 10 career playoff appear-ances.

“It was an extremely tough decision to use the compliance buyout on Rick’s contract,” general manager Garth Snow said in a statement.

“His drive to win games and compete at the highest level for the New York Islanders was never questioned. With Rick back at 100 per cent health, we wish him nothing but the best as he continues to pursue his career.”

Last season, DiPietro - the first goalie ever chosen No. 1 in

the NHL draft - played in only three games with the Islanders before he was waived and sent to Bridgeport of the AHL.

DiPietro allowed 12 goals in his Islanders appearances and didn’t earn a win. In 18 games with Bridgeport, he went 9-9-0 with a 2.93 goals against aver-age and .893 save percentage.

DiPietro signed a 15-year, $67.5 million deal before the 2006-07 season, but he was never able to live up to the con-tract or his lofty status of being a No. 1 draft pick.

He played 62 games that season and 63 more the follow-ing campaign, winning a total of 42 games in that span. Since then, he has made double-digit NHL appearances only once, 26 games in the 2010-11 season.

N.Y. Islanders buy out DiPietro nhl

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SLONDON - Juan Martin del Potro’s left knee

was already mummified in the rolls athletic tape it takes just to keep the lanky Argentine upright these days.

Then, five points into his Wimbledon quarter-final, the man known as “The Tower” went boom.

Chasing an overhead into the corner, del Potro’s left foot slipped out from under him on the slick grass on Centre Court. That already aching knee straightened suddenly, then bent backward. Del Potro crumpled to the ground and rolled twice into the far edge of the court.

Nobody would have blamed him for quitting.Instead, he played on.First at a limp, then at a jog, then at a sprint,

del Potro recovered for a 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory over fourth-seeded David Ferrer to make his first Wimbledon semifinal.

“To be honest, I didn’t want to retire (being) in the quarters for first time at Wimbledon,” del Potro said. “And that’s the reason for continuing play. The doctors gave me good anti-inflamma-

tories.”And that, in short, is how del Potro found

himself preparing for a semifinal against top-seeded Novak Djokovic, whose 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-3 victory over No. 7 Tomas Berdych ended less than five seconds after del Potro hit his final shot.

“I have my knee problem, but always the opponent, the other players, can have different injuries, too,” del Potro said. “You have to be strong, more than the rest.”

Later in the day, No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz became the first Polish man to reach a Grand Slam semifinal by beating countryman Lukasz Kubot 7-5, 6-4, 6-4.

After the match, the players hugged at the net for more than 15 seconds, then exchanged shirts the way football players often do after their matches. A bit later, Janowicz sat in his chair, clasped his hands over his nose and cried.

Janowicz will play the winner of the quarter-final between Fernando Verdasco and No. 2 Andy Murray.

Dear Annie: I am 15 and the oldest of four boys. During one of many fights between my parents, my mom left the house with my brothers and me, and we spent the night at a shelter.

Our grandparents told our father that we have no values because we went with our mom. They say we are old enough to know better. This makes us feel guilty about the fights. Now my grand-parents refuse to see us even for our birthdays, because they say we are not loyal to the fam-ily and don’t deserve them.

Annie, we are los-ing our family and our grandparents all at once. Our school guid-ance counselor tells us it’s not our fault, but we feel like outcasts. We are no longer invited to any family events with our cousins. We feel abandoned. -- Scared in Massachusetts

Dear Scared: Your grandparents don’t

know how to fix the situation with your parents, so they take their frustrations out on you. You are an easy target and can’t fight back. Shame on them.

If you have other family members who are not part of this manipulative black-mail, please get closer to them. Otherwise, “family” can mean many things -- includ-ing good friends, teach-ers, neighbors and oth-ers who take an inter-est in your life and are good influences. Lean on them. And continue to talk to your guid-ance counselor, who obviously understands the problem and can help.

Dear Annie: I am a working profession-al woman in my 50s. For some reason, my dentist, a man in his 30s, calls me “dear.” The first time he did this, I was mortified and didn’t know how to respond to such a condescending remark. I like my dentist. He’s otherwise a competent professional. How do I respond in an appro-priate way to this inap-propriate manner of addressing me? -- Need To Know in Saskatoon

Dear Saskatoon: Let’s give him the ben-efit of the doubt and assume he addresses all of his patients as “dear,” regardless of age or gender. He prob-ably has no idea that anyone finds it offen-sive. You need to speak up. The next time he does this, simply say, “I’d prefer that you call me ‘Miss Smith,’” or however you want him to address you. You may need to do this more than once, but we assure you, he’ll

eventually get the mes-sage.

Dear Annie: The let-ter from “New Yorker” really touched a nerve. When he was 11 years old, he made an insult-ing comment to his sister’s friend, and his mother keeps bringing it up year after year. He’s now 35.

When I was 10, my 5-year-old neigh-bor stole some silver coins and blamed me. Everyone believed him, including my family. The police were called, and my family had to replace the coins. In the 33 years since, the boy admitted to the theft, and both he and his brother apologized to me. It doesn’t seem to matter to my fam-ily, though. I became a New York state trooper, serving honorably and earning many com-mendations, awards and community acco-lades. But many family members still bring up this theft and act like I did it.

My grandmother is

in a nursing home. My brother gave her his old TV, but she didn’t want it, so he took it back. My aunt saw it was missing and said, “Jane probably took it. She likes to steal.” This type of thing bothers me to no end, but I realize I will never be

able to change these attitudes.

My response varies upon my mood, but my favorite was my reply to my aunt about the stolen TV: “I thought you knew I had to steal to support my drug habit.” Her shocked expression was price-

less. -- Not-Guilty Jane Annie’s Mailbox
