Gospel artists are adding their voices to a local cause that adds comfort dur-ing a difficult time.

The Trail Seventh-day Adventist Church, with help from active Castlegar members, has spent the last year bring-ing local children in need Bags of Love, a care package donated to children who've had their lives uprooted.

Peter Makortoff, Leanne Harrison, Rob Green and Jim Halpin are ready to perform a free will donation Gospel Charity Concert at the East Trail church on July 14 at 2 p.m. with all donations going to these hand-sewn, grab bags full of life essentials.

“I just get so excited,” squealed Trail resident Sharon Jackson, as she moves from one end of her basement to the next (nearly every inch storing dona-

tions for the cause).Boxes full of hand-made quilts,

donated lightly used stuffies and once loved hot wheel cars are stacked next to organized piles of hygiene materials, story books and more.

Jackson's basement is where the bags are created with the child's age in mind (from newborns to 17 year olds). It feels a little like Santa's workshop, an operation that has brought smiles and comfort in an otherwise dark and con-fusing time.

“Right now it's just children and children who are in transition, children who are going to a more secure living environment,” she explained.

“Sometimes when they leave they can't take a lot of stuff with them so that's why we give a bag so they've got something of their own to take with them.

“It's like being able to take something that only belongs to them and that they can keep on taking with them.”

Though Bags of Love started as a one-woman project in 2005 through the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Kentucky, it has now spread across the United States and has just started to crop up in Canada with five chapters in B.C. and one in Alberta.

When the potential for a Trail chap-ter presented itself in 2012, Jackson jumped on board. Now serving Trail and Castlegar, she said the overwhelmingly positive response will eventually lead to the expansion into Nelson, Grand Forks and Creston.

Since its inception last year, the local organization has already given out 40 bags.

“It didn't take long to fill my base-ment with donations,” said the local coordinator. “People have been so gen-erous and supportive of this ministry.

“The thing they like most about (it) is that the bags stay in the West Kootenay region.”

In a bid to keep Canada Post from privatiz-ing its Trail location, the postal workers union has completed its own mailing campaign and is waiting for the results.

In February, Canada Post issued a letter of notification to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) citing its intent to open a privately-owned postal franchise in downtown Trail.

At that time, the union had 90 days to offer another option that would be viable and cost-effective. To that end, every house in Trail was sent a card that informed residents of the impending change and asked for support.

“Everyone in Trail received a postage-free card to fill out that said ‘Save our Post Office,’” said Ed Evans, CUPW Local 842.

The cards were mailed directly to Robert Aubin, the NDP MP who serves as critic respon-sible for Canada Post.

“This is a politically motivated issue,” said Evans. “If the Harper government says ‘I don’t care what the public says’ and decides to (priva-tize) post offices, then he will be on the hot seat for that decision.

“The cards of support that everyone has mailed in will be ammo in (the opposition’s) back pocket.”

Even if the public responds with overwhelm-ing support to keep Canada Post locations status quo, the subject itself could become a hot-button issue for the government when the House of Commons reconvenes in the fall.

“This is not just a union issue,” said Alex Atamanenko, MP for B.C. Southern Interior.

“The current government is all about farm-ing out jobs to retail outlets and not worrying about good pay or benefits.”

Atamanenko said that preserving Canada Post locations is a community issue that needs support from the local chamber and council to send the message that “further cuts on the backs of rural communities is not acceptable.

“We have to watch this because it could be one of those sleeper issues that all of a sudden we wake up and find they have done it,” he said.

The Canada Post Corporation came into force as a crown corporation in 1981 with a mandate to set a ‘new direction’ for the postal service, and create a reliable service that ensures the postal service’s financial security

Previously, two col-umns have cov-ered responding to a minor open-

ing. Today, we will con-tinue with an invitational hand.

The bidding: North opens one club, and South does not have a four-card suit.

He has a limit raise in clubs. In the past, South would jump to three clubs and North and South would no longer have any room to investigate stoppers to play 3NT. Instead, South bids two clubs, an inverted minor raise, showing five clubs, no four-card majors and 10+ points.

If North has both majors stopped, he would bid notrump, but he bids two spades showing a spade stopper and no heart stopper.

They are only worried about the major suits because without a lot of

major cards, diamonds are considered to be stopped. South has a minimum with hearts stopped and bids two notrump. North cannot go to game opposite 10 to 12 points and passes two notrump.

The Lead: West leads the ten of spades, the top of a sequence.

He should not lead a heart because South has shown a heart stopper

and the ace waits to capture the king.The play: East wins the ace and

switches to the jack of hearts. When dummy is one's right hand opponent and one sees nothing in a suit, one tries to lead the suit.

It is even better when one also has nothing in that suit because partner has points in the suit behind the declar-er. East and West take four hearts, one spade and one diamond, setting two notrump by one trick.

This was the correct contract and the correct result. Sometimes, one bids correctly and it just does not work.

Result: Two notrump by South down one for -100.

T h e C a s T l e g a r N e w sFortis, the company that provides electrical

service to approximately 111,500 customers in the south central part of the province, has applied to the BC Utilities Commission for a rate increase of 3.3 per cent for 2014 and has laid the groundwork to revisit the rate through 2018.

“The way it works for the commission is we re-visit our rates every year, so we only requested for 2014 the 3.3 percent but we’re filing the [five-year] application to kind of have the parameters in place,” said Neal Pobran, manager of corporate communications who was reached by telephone. “We’ll go back again through another regulatory process for the fol-lowing years after that.”

Pobran said the public is welcome to view the applica-tion and make com-ments online. It will be available shortly at www.bcuc.com. It will also be on the FortisBC website at www.fortisbc.com.

While BC Hydro has been the sub-ject of intense pol-

itical debate over its fee structure, FortisBC operates on a smaller playing field and with far fewer customers. Still, according to a corporate report, FortisBC’s electric operations had a net income of $49 million in 2012.

The utility is also in the planning stages of a new $16 million operations centre in Ootischenia.

“We’re trying to go to the five-year plan so that if we do have any savings, they are passed onto customers,” said Pobran. “Every utility is struggling with this — when you think how much electricity use has increased and the aging of the infrastructure, It’s what everyone is facing right now. People used to have one tele-vision and now what… four is pretty common? Different times.”

John Walker, President and CEO of FortisBC commented in a press release that cost and reli-ability are customers main concerns.

“In this application, we’re trying to balance our customers’ need to minimize rate increases, while addressing rising power costs and paying for the necessary investment to the electrical system,” said Walker.

The FortisBC release also noted a review of the residential conservation rate is underway and they will be filing a report with the results with the commission.

“While most customers benefit from the resi-dential conservation rate, we are sensitive that some pay more. This report will provide a better understanding of the issues and impacts of the rate,” said Walker.

“It touches the heart to know that we are able to fill a need in the community and provide something special to the children,” explained Jackson.

Volunteers from Trail and Castlegar sew the bags and do ongoing fundraising for the pro-ject, which includes roll-ing their sleeves up at the Robson Flea Market to cook breakfast once a month.

Admission to the con-cert is by donation with 100 per cent of funds raised going to Bags of Love supplies and good-ies.

The search for missing man Ezekiel ‘Zeke’ Fantuz of Jaffray ended when he was found deceased in his vehicle in the Bull River last Saturday.

“The truck was found just down stream from where the vehicle went into the Bull River,” said RCMP Cpl. Pat Prefontaine.

It is believed that Fantuz drove off the Bull River Forest Service Road on Monday, June 24 and was last seen at 11:15 p.m that same night when he left a friends place to go home in his 1994 Nissan Pathfinder. After not showing up at home, search efforts were initiated.

Cranbrook RCMP, SAR, family and friends searched for Fantuz for six days. S

Since then, the Internet revolution sent the postal ser-vice into a tailspin as people are turning to digital alterna-tives to send and receive cor-respondence.

“People are becoming more comfortable with alternative ways to receive everything from bill payments to bank statements,” said Anick Losier, media relations for Canada Post.

“They convert to electronic without really thinking about the impact to Canada Post,” she said.

“It means that people don’t need to go to the post office in the same way.

“That is the trend and it is not going to turn around,” she added.

Although the number of supportive responses hasn’t been officially tallied, Evans said that the overall picture painted is that people want to keep their post offices “where they are at.”

“I’ve been reading through a lot of my emails both nation-al and regional,” he said.

“In regards to small town post offices, the public is very supportive of us.”

B y A l i s t A i r W A t e r sKelowna Capital News

As the Westside-Kelowna byelection cam-paign winds down, NDP candidate Carole Gordon is refusing to let the issue of possible B.C. Hydro rate hikes for riding residents disappear.

Gordon rallied 33 of her supporters along Highway 97 in Westbank Monday to public-ly demand Liberal candidate, Premier Christy Clark, say if there will be hydro rate hikes for locals or not.

Standing across the road from Clark’s cam-paign office, Gordon’s demand elicited a chant of “yes or no,” from her supporters.

“The people need to know—is it yes or is it no,” said Gordon. “And they need to know before the byelection.

The byelection goes today and is pitting Gordon against Clark and six other challengers. Clark is trying to win the Westside-Kelowna seat that Ben Stewart gave up, after she lost her own Vancouver-Point Grey seat in the May 14 gen-eral election while leading her party to another majority government.

Last week, Clark said she was keeping B.C. rate hikes down for B.C. Hydro customers, such as the ones who live on the west side of Okanagan Lake. But just a few days later, her energy minister Bill Bennet appeared to contra-dict her when he said “everyone” in government knew that there would have to be hydro rate increases because of B.C. Hydro’s debt situation.

Last week, during an all-candidates debate, Gordon repeatedly challenged Clark to directly address the B.C. Hydro rate hike issue but Clark wouldn’t bite.

“I think it shows how disconnected she is with the people of the riding and the people of the province,” said Gordon.

The NDP candidate also returned to her fam-iliar message that a vote for her would be a vote for a “local” representative in Victoria. A vote for Clark on the other hand would be a vote for some who is not from here, won’t be here and in Gordon’s words won’t even have a live person on the other end of the phone if constituents call in to her riding office.

Gordon said if she is elected she will either be in Victoria when needed or back here in the riding-period.

“This is my home. This is where my family is. This is where I live,” she said.

used an undercover operation known as the Mr. Big sting to ensnare two people accused of a terror plot on British Columbia’s legislature, said a lawyer for one of the accused.

John Nuttall and Amanda Korody, who are alleged to have planned the bombing

to coincide with Canada Day celebrations, appeared briefly in Surrey Provincial Court on Tuesday.

The case was then moved to the B.C. Supreme Court because federal Crown pros-ecutor Martha Devlin asked for a direct indictment, which requires the accused to be placed on trial without a pre-

liminary inquiry.Lawyer Tom Morino told

reporters that he knows that police used undercover tactics.

A Mr. Big police sting is an investigative technique that requires officers to go under-cover in order to gain the trust of suspects and ultimately obtain confessions used later in court.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SNew Brunswick lobster fishermen are

expressing frustration after the federal gov-ernment rejected their bid to increase the minimum size of lobsters that can be caught off the province’s east coast.

Christian Brun, a spokesman for the Maritime Fishermen’s Union, says the deci-sion is disappointing because it means the province’s fishermen are less able to respond to their consumers’ demand for larger lobsters.

On Monday, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans turned down a proposal made earlier this year by the New Brunswick lobster industry to increase the minimum lobster carapace size in a fishing zone known as Lobster Fishing Area 25.

The Prince Edward Island government has applauded Ottawa’s ruling, as its industry is concentrated on canned lobsters, which relies on smaller-sized crustaceans.

The decision impacts the approximately 700 lobster fishermen.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - All the buzz about dead bees

is prompting Ontario to seek help from a group of experts.

A bee health working group is being formed to make recommendations on how to mitigate the potential risk of a certain pesticide to honey bees, the governing Liberals said Tuesday.

The pesticide - neonicotinoid - is used for corn and soybeans.

The group will comprise beekeepers, farmers, people in agri-business and scien-tists as well as staff from federal and prov-incial agencies. It will meet this month and provide recommendations by next spring, the government said.

According to the Canadian Honey Council, the bee population in Canada has dropped by an estimated 35 per cent in the past three years.

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

stayed home to deal with flooded base-ments, others battled long commutes on still soggy streets to make their way into work, while nearly everyone had a storm story to swap.

Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area mopped up Tuesday after a record-smash-ing night of pounding rain and driving wind caused flash floods

which set cars afloat, stranded rail commut-ers and caused wide-spread power outages in the region.

“It is really, prob-ably the most intense, wettest moment in Toronto’s history,” said Environment Canada senior climatologist David Philips.

“No infrastructure could handle this...you just have to accept the fact that you’re going to be flooded.”

Phillips said two

separate storm cells moved over the city at the same time, and then stalled over Toronto for hours.

“It’s almost like Toronto was a target with a bull’s eye.”

The downpour left several roads and underpasses under water, forcing some people to abandon their vehicles.

Subway, bus and streetcar services were either halted or slowed to a crawl, creating

chaos during rush hour.

In one of the more serious commut-er incidents, 1,400 people were stranded on a northbound GO Transit train as murky water seeped into the cars. It took police and firefighters about seven hours to ferry everyone to dry ground aboard small inflatable boats.

About 70,000 cus-tomers were without electricity Tuesday

afternoon, 50,000 due to rolling blackouts. About 300,000 custom-ers had been left in the dark at the height of the outage Monday.

P e a r s o n International Airport reported 126 milli-metres of rain through-out Monday, breaking the previous single-day rainfall record for the city set back on Oct. 15, 1954, when hur-ricane Hazel dumped 121 millimetres of rain.

OPINION

Is this the end of the Arab Spring?If the people in charge

of the various oppos-ition parties in Egypt had any strategic

vision, they would not have launched the mass protests that caused the army to oust President Mohammed Morsi on July 4. They would have bided their time and waited for the next election. Because there is probably still going to be a next elec-tion in Egypt, despite the coup, and now the Muslim Brotherhood might actual-ly win it.

There is a good deal of chatter in the media at the moment about the “end of the Arab Spring,” some of it by commentators who can barely conceal their delight. Egypt, with almost one-third of the world’s total Arab population, was the great symbol of the democratic movement’s success, and now Egyptian democracy is in a mess. But the drama still has a long way to run.

Morsi is now under arrest, as are many other leading members of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the passionate demonstra-tions and counter-demon-strations in the streets of Egypt’s cities make it hard to imagine that any com-promise is possible. Indeed, Russia’s President Vladimir

Putin warned last weekend that Egypt risks stumbling into a civil war like the one that has devastated Syria.

Opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei, on the other hand, justified the military coup by claiming that it had been the only alternative to civil war – which could, he said, have been as bad as Somalia. Really? One suspects that he doesn’t know much about Somalia. Indeed, one suspects that he doesn’t really know much about his own country either (he has spent most of his career abroad).

There was no risk of civil war in Egypt before last week’s military interven-tion, and there is no risk of civil war now either. What we are seeing is a no-holds-barred struggle for power between rival political movements, in a system where the political rules are newly written, hotly disputed, and poorly under-stood. And all the players have made some serious mistakes.

The Mus l im Brotherhood, on the basis of last year’s 51.7 per cent majority for Morsi in the presidential election, assumed that it had the unquestioning support of half the population. This

was probably not true.Many voted for Morsi in

recognition of the Muslim Brotherhood’s long resist-ance to six decades of mil-itary dictatorship. Others voted for him in gratitude for the Brotherhood’s unfailing support for the poor, or in disgust at the fact that Morsi’s only opponent in the second round of the election was a left-over from the Mubarak regime.

Perhaps as few as half of them actually voted for the Brotherhood’s core project of Islamising Egyptian law and forcing its own ver-sion of Islamic values on Egyptian society – but the Brothers seemed to think they all had. Even if that had been true, trying to impose fundamental chan-ges on a country with the support of only half the

population was not wise.Some of the constitu-

tional changes that Morsi imposed, and some of his tactics for pushing them through, may actually have been the result of polit-ical compromises within the Brotherhood, where he constantly had to fend off the fanatics who wanted even more extreme meas-ures. Nevertheless, the secular opposition parties inevitably saw him as an extremist, and genuinely feared that he would some-how manage to force the whole package on Egypt.

So the secular parties responded with extra-con-stitutional tactics of their own: mass demonstrations that were explicitly intend-ed to trigger a military take-over that would sideline Morsi and the Brotherhood. In only four days of demos, they succeeded, in large part because the army, a resolutely secular organi-sation, had its own grave misgivings about where Morsi’s government was taking Egypt.

But the army hasn’t actually seized power. It has appointed Adly Mansour, the head of the Constitutional Supreme Court, as interim president, with the task of organising new parliament-ary and presidential elec-

tions. It will not be pos-sible to exclude the Muslim Brotherhood from those elections without turning the whole process into a farce – especially since the Brotherhood will probably be going through some changes of its own.

The Muslim Brotherhood took little part in the 2011 revolution, and the men at the top, including Morsi, were utterly unprepared for power. They are now likely to be replaced by a young-er generation of leaders who are more flexible and more attuned to the real-ities of power. They might even win the next election, despite all Morsi’s mistakes this time round.

That’s the real irony here. If the opposition par-ties had only left Morsi in power, his unilateral actions and his inability to halt Egypt’s drastic eco-nomic decline would have guaranteed an opposition victory at the next election. Now it’s all up in the air again.

But democratic politics is far from over in Egypt. Foolish things have been done, but the Arab Spring is not dead.

Do you think pipelines are safer than rail cars

If you ever have a chance to talk privately to polit-icians, the more candid among them will admit

to the frustration they feel by public and press inattention to what they consider to be important, or accurate.

The politicians and their staff will inevitably report their frustration that issues they believe critical are super-seded by some comparatively minor political event or scan-dal making the front pages.

I sometimes sympathize with their irritation. G o v e r n m e n t s are often roasted over occasionally minor matters that amount to no more than a couple of bucks - although that’s the public’s right - but receive lit-tle credit for major reforms that save taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.

On the other hand, pol-iticians are often derided because they treat the public with disdain, as, for example, when governments try to bury bad news surreptitiously - say, at the end of a day close to the first long weekend of summer.

This happened twice in just the past two weeks. In British Columbia, just before the July long weekend, the provincial government announced it would appeal a recent B.C. Supreme Court decision that criticized the province for bill-ing private property owners for expensive archaeological digs desired by the bureau-crats.

As I’ve written previously, anyone who owns property in British Columbia should be on notice: if the government decides your property is an official heritage site, you are on the hook for potentially ruinous costs.

At present, the archaeo-

logical branch in B.C. cata-logues 38,927 property sites in the province as archaeologic-ally significant, with 11,300 of those added since 2005. Private property owners have been hit with costs ranging from $35,000 to $400,000 for government-decreed archaeo-logical work, so it is “buyer beware” if you are thinking about buying, owning and redeveloping property in beautiful British Columbia.

The second incident also took place just before the July long week-end when the Alberta govern-ment released its Annual Report: as per the norm over the past five years much of it was written in red ink.

The first big number from the last fiscal year (April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013) is $3.1 billion, the provincial deficit last year, according to the consolidated figures. Or “just” $2.8 billion when one looks at how the numbers are prepared for provincial budgets. (There is a difference but the details would test a reader’s attention.)

But back in the February budget, the province decided to change how it reported sur-pluses and deficits, with the net effect that deficits now look smaller and surpluses bigger.

And the new way of crunch-ing numbers also allows Alberta’s provincial debt to increase every year, even when the province claims an oper-ational surplus.

The government justified its new provincial account-ing rules by saying it par-allels how businesses record their financial state of affairs. Except that little of what governments do, regrettably,

mirror privates sector real-ities, including the fact that businesses must earn their revenues from consumers vol-untarily. Businesses must also provide goods and services at a quality that is reflective of their price or go under.

Governments have few such incentives in the short-term.

And when it comes to borrowing, the significant difference between the pri-vate and government sector is the existence of natural restraints on how much can be borrowed. Overstretched companies will quickly find themselves without additional sources of borrowed cash.

They must thus economize or risk bankruptcy.

Governments rarely feel such outside pressure, unless their recklessness has gone on for decades (i.e., Greece, and perhaps soon Ontario). The lack of restraints means government rarely ask them-selves how they could deliv-er services differently, more effectively, and for a more rea-sonable price. Instead, they simply borrow (and tax) more.

Another big number Albertans might have missed from the Annual Report while away for the long weekend is $10.9 billion, the unfunded public sector pension liabil-ity owed by all Albertans and which is double what the province faced in 2006.

In other words, Alberta has faced significant debt for some time.

Hiding things from the pub-lic’s attention may be “smart” politics, but it does the public a great disservice. Those who engage in such sport should hardly be surprised the public is then wary of giving the pol-itical class credit, even whey deserve it for tackling sub-stantive issues.

This spring Ms. Jewitt’s Grade 7 class from Glenmerry Elementary participated in the Junior Achievement Program run by John Reed at Community Futures in downtown Trail. Reed taught the students how to start a business. Lessons included setting up a business plan, finding suppliers, calculating unit costs and handling money. The students set up “The Snack Shack,” and raised $200 by selling popsicles and cookies they had baked. The money was donated to the Trail branch of the Canadian Cancer Society and the KBRH Foundation for the paediatric ward.

A couple with close ties to Kaslo is considering bring-ing their two cheetahs to the north Kootenay Lake com-munity in hopes of expanding its tourism base while helping an endangered species.

Earl Pfeifer and Carol Plato own Kane Manor in Kaslo and a few years ago when it was saved from fire by neighbours and the fire department, the couple realized how truly spe-cial Kaslo is.

“We couldn’t get over how fortunate we were to live in such a wonderful, caring community,” said Pfeifer. “We often talked about find-ing ways to give back to the town.”

On the evening of June 28 about 40 people attended a presentation made at the Legion Hall in Kaslo to hear about the couple’s idea of bringing their two cheetahs, now living with them in their second home near Toronto, to town.

“If we were to build this

business back home it would mean a Kaslo business would be offering services that can-not be found anywhere else in North America and that uniqueness could be extreme-ly beneficial for Kaslo,” said Pfeifer.

Needing Kaslo’s support to gain necessary permits, the couple is being proactive in the endeavor that is still likely years away from realization.

The most difficult mile-stone of their cheetah project has been achieved, however. And that is actually getting cheetahs, a “class one highly endangered cat.”

“They are virtually impos-sible for all but large zoos to import,” says Pfeifer. “The good news is that on March 28, after two years of work and against all odds, we became the owners of two African cheetahs.”

As far as the retired couple knows, they are the only pri-vate owners of cheetahs in Canada.

They have a one-year-old female named Annie Rose

and a nine-month old named Robin, who was sired by one of the most famous cheetahs in Africa. “Right now we are working seven days a week socializing and training the cats.”

Pfiefer describes cheetahs as the original “fraidy cat.” There is no record of a wild cheetah killing a human in the 4,000 years since Egyptians first started keep-ing the cats captive, he said.

Today, there are fewer than 10,000 cheetahs left in the world and their numbers are declining by nearly 1,000 per year due to loss of habitat and farmers being able to kill them.

“By the time a child entering J.V. Humphries school this fall is 15, the chances of him being able to ever see a cheetah in the wild will be almost zero,” said Pfeifer.

In Africa, cheetahs like Robin’s father, who has been seen by 140,000 school chil-dren, are called ambassador cheetahs.

“While not completely tame, they are well trained and socialized,” said Pfeifer.

The couple understands the hurdles they will have to jump to bring their chee-tah program to Kaslo. “We’re passionately committed to helping save them from extinction, and our resolve is strengthened by knowing that whatever troubles we face, they are nothing compared to the difficulties cheetahs face,” she said. “Hassles, battles, legal issues, current empty-ing of our bank account and future decimation of our life savings — really — they’re nothing compared to extinc-tion.”

Kaslo Mayor Greg Lay says council hasn’t made an offi-cial decision and while regu-lations are fuzzy, he supports the idea.

“This would absolutely have a tremendous benefit for Kaslo because it would be the only place in Canada, where people could come to walk with these cheetahs, get their picture taken,” he said.

B y d a n i e l P a l m e rVictoria News

A 70-year-old British woman made history in Victoria’s Inner Harbour on Monday morning, becoming the oldest woman to sail solo non-stop around the world.

Jeanne Socrates left the Strait of Juan de Fuca on October 22, 2012 on her third attempt at tackling the punishing journey. She already held the title as the oldest woman to circum-navigate the globe on a multi-stop journey.

“Everyone asks me what my plans are now. I don’t know, I’ve got too many other things to think about, too many repairs to do,” Socrates said, standing on the port side of her 11-metre cruiser Nereida in the Inner Harbour .

The most harrowing leg of Socrates’ journey was at Cape Horn off the coast of South Africa, where her previous journey was cut short by stormy seas.

“I was coming down Cape Horn on the identical day at almost the same spot as my knockdown (in 2011),” she said. “It’s so uncom-fortable, I’m damp, I’m cold … and you kind of think, ‘Why am I doing this?’”

Despite the bruising weather through much of her journey, calm winds forced Socrates to anchor off Vancouver Island for two days before a Prince of Whales boat offered to tow her in.

“The boating community is such a support-ive group of people. You see the best side of humanity, how human beings should be to each other all the time,” she said.

t H e a s s O C i a t e d P r e s sNASHVILLE - Jim Foglesong, a record

label executive and music producer who helped launch Garth Brooks’ career and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, died Tuesday. He was 90.

Kristin Whittlesey, a spokeswoman at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music where Foglesong had been a faculty member since 1991, said Foglesong died Tuesday.

Foglesong, a West Virginia native, began his career in New York as a session singer, producer and record executive and moved to Nashville in 1970 after helping Columbia Records launch subsidiary Epic.

He began as the head of independent label Dot Records in Nashville and took over as president of Capitol Records’ Nashville division where he helped launch the career of Brooks, country music’s bestselling artist.

“Today, the music industry lost its great-est diplomat for kindness, tolerance, faith, and sincerity,” Brooks said.

Brooks wasn’t the only musician whose career was touched by Foglesong before he turned to academics later in life. He oversaw label rosters that included Brooks, George Strait, Reba McEntire, Barbara Mandrell, Don Williams, Roy Clark, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard and Conway Twitty.

Greater Trail Special Olympians are flying high as they get set to compete in the 2013 Special Olympics BC Summer Games in Langley this weekend.

A total of 13 athletes and six coaches from Greater Trail will board a Pacific Coastal jet on Thursday at the Trail Airport joining 90 other Kootenay ath-letes, and over 1,100 expected to compete in the event from across B.C. And Yukon.

“Pacific Coastal has really stepped up to provide charters for these athletes, they’ve gone beyond what we expected,” said Special Olympic golf coach Ben Postmus.

The Greater Trail contin-gent includes bocce athletes Neil Emery, Bob Lattanzio, and

Fred Crerar, five-pin bowlers Paula Prough, Maria Veltri, Tim McTeer, Gary Bjorgan, Stewart Babakoff, Kayleigh Postmus, and Arielle Cochrane, swim-mers Alyssa Berdusco, Sherry Alrogge, and Stuart Hawton, and in Golf, William Thatcher and Al Cummings.

“We have some really good athletes attending, they’ve worked really hard, and we expect really good results,” added Postmus.

The more than 1,100 Special Olympic athletes from the eight SOBC regions and the Yukon will compete in 11 summer sports: 5- and 10-pin bowling, aquatics, athletics, basketball, bocce, golf, rhyth-mic gymnastics, powerlifting, soccer and softball. Athletes will show their love of sport and their inspiring sportsman-

ship as they compete for the opportunity to advance to the 2014 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games, which will be held in Vancouver.

These Games will mark the first time that Special Olympics BC and Yukon athletes partici-pating in basketball, bocce and golf will be able to compete for the chance to advance to the National Games –these three current demonstration sports will be part of the Special Olympics Canada Games for the first time in 2014.

The athletes will catch the 9:45 a.m. flight to Vancouver Thursday to be ready for the opening ceremonies at 7 p.m. that night.

Competition begins Friday morning and winds up on Saturday night with closing ceremonies and a dance.

Bronze for Big HornsB y T i m e s s T a f f

The Kootenay South Select Storm U15 Big Horns trampled the competition on their way to a bronze medal at the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial Cup in Prince George on the weekend.

It was jubilation for the Bighorns, despair for Terrace, as the Kootenay squad won 2-0 over the North Coast team to capture the bronze medal, and finish the tournament with an impressive 3-1 record.

It was the culmination of an incredible year for the KSSS eleven, coming off wins at the U16 Boys tournament in Nelson in May, fol-lowed by silver medals in Kalispell, Mont. and Couer d’Alene, Id.

Matt Liszt of Castlegar marked the winner early in the second half converting a rebound off the goalie and into the back of the net to give the Kootenay reps a 1-0 lead.

The irrepressible Liszt struck again later in the half, corralling a deft pass from Elijah Voykin and sending it home with conviction. The defence would do the rest shut-ting down the capable Terrace for-wards with Kootenay keeper and Trail native Mike Isernia a giant in net for the shut out.

Representatives from eight regions descended on the Cariboo city including the Killarney All Stars from the Coastal region 1, the Royal City Westminster United from Coastal 2, Vancouver Island’s Gorge FC, Kelowna Utd. FC, Terrace, the North Cariboo’s Quesnel Strikers, and the home team.

In the opening match of round robin play the Bighorns would suffer their only loss, falling 4-1 to eventual champions Royal City Westminster United.

While nerves plagued the team in the first tilt, they would bounce back with a 6-1 devastation of the Quesnel Strikers.

Building momentum the Big Horns closed out the round robin with a 2-0 victory over the Gorge FC, on the strength of two Voykin goals and an impenetrable Rossland product, Nick Fantin, in net.

The team had a distinct West Kootenay flavour, made up of players from Trail, Beaver Valley, Rossland, Castlegar, Nelson, and Genelle, and is the first medal for a KSSS boys U15 team on record.

Royal City beat Killarney Allstars 3-2 to win the provincial champion-ship.

Phillies, Dbacks on a rollB y J i m B a i l e y

Times Sports EditorThe Washington

State American Legion single-A and double-A leagues are feeling the heat from a pair of West Kootenay teams.

The single-A West Kootenay Phillies counted seven of a possible eight points on the weekend, while the double-A West Kootenay Diamondbacks won a pair of games in Medical Lake.

The Dbacks cruised to a 16-3 victory in the first game against Medical Lake with Tanner Johnson notching the victory, while Joe Ferraro pow-ered the offence going 4-for-5 with three doubles and a single.

Scott Davidson then took the mound for the second end of the doubleheader, getting the win in a closer 14-9 match. The Dbacks ran their rec-ord to 9-1 and sit atop the American Legion Federal division with Pullman, 12-2, nip-ping at their heals one

game back. The Phillies mean-

while reversed an 0-6 start and have been unbeatable in the last few weeks, winning six and tying one in its last seven starts. The Phillies opened the weekend Saturday with a doubleheader against West Valley.

Derek Green got the start and threw a gem, going the dis-tance in a 10-0 shut-out in the first game. Green gave up just two hits and three walks, while striking out five. Brendan Makay was 3-for-4 at the plate, while Daniel Gagnier scored three times, going 2-for-3 with a stolen base.

In the second game Makay helped his own cause on the mound by knocking in the win-ning run in the bot-tom of the fifth with a single that scored two runs to make it 10-7 Phillies.

The Valley come-back came up just short as they plated two more in the top of sixth before Colton Miracle shut the door, striking out the final

two batters in the top of seven for the save.

On Sunday the Phils travelled to Pullman to play Whitman County looking to sweep. They opened the series with a 13-3 victory riding another fine pitch-ing performance, this time, from Braedon Zarikoff.

“I can’t say enough about our pitching, three 13-year olds, and Braedon Zarakoff, he threw a gem again, so our pitchers are doing real well and were hit-ting quite well too,” said Phillies coach Darren Miracle.

The Phillies scored seven runs in the third inning to break open a close 3-2 match for the victory.

Niedermayer, Chris Chelios, Brendan Shanahan, Geraldine Heaney and Fred Shero are headed to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Niedermayer, Chelios and Shanahan were the former NHL players chosen for the class of 2013.

Heaney will be the third woman enshrined in the Hall.

Shero was selected in the builder category.

Chelios and Niedermayer made it in their first year of eligibility.

The official induction

ceremony is scheduled for November.

Niedermayer, a Cranbrook native, won four Stanley Cups in 17 full NHL seasons to go along with a Norris Trophy and Conn Smythe Trophy. He had 172 goals and 568 assists in 1,263 games and was con-sidered one of the top defence-men of his era.

Chelios played 23 full sea-sons and parts of three more, taking part in his final NHL game at age 48. Arguably the best U.S.-born player, Chelios won the Norris Trophy as the league’s top defenceman three times.

Shanahan had 656 goals and 698 assists. He won three Stanley Cups, an Olympic gold medal and was the quintes-sential scoring power winger of his era.

Heaney was a defenceman on Canada’s gold-medal-winning team at the 2002 Olympics and is considered one of the best female players in history.

Shero won back-to-back Stanley Cups with the expan-sion-era Philadelphia Flyers in 1974 and 1975 and he was seen as an innovator by coaching systems and having a playbook. He was elected to the Hall of Fame 23 years after his death.

T H E N E l S o N S T A RNelson’s CYSWOG ‘n’ Fun annual event is

on the horizon, with participants getting ready to run, swim, and/or bike in this year’s race on Aug. 4.

Race director Larry Bickerton said he hopes to see some new faces crossing the finish line at Lakeside Park next month.

“We’ve always catered more to novice athletes, with our unusual race categories,” Bickerton said, referring to the two- and three-person relay teams that are welcome to take part in the event. “It’s great when you see families and friends tak-ing on the challenge together.”

Usually triathlons are reserved for individual participants who race through all three legs of the event themselves — swimming, biking, and running. But with a relay team, each member takes one or two sections.

Bickerton said that’s a good option for anyone who wants to be a part of the event, but doesn’t have a lot of time to dedicate to training.

There are two race distances: the Sprint course with a 500 metre swim, 22 kilometre bike and a five kilometre run; and the Olympic course where the swim distance is tripled and the bike and run are twice as long.

This year the Sprint swimmers will follow a shorter version of the single-loop, triangular course used for the Olympic event — rather than swimming two laps of a rectangle. This will make for a faster swim because there will be fewer cor-ners to navigate, according to Bickerton.

“It’s also safer and easier to patrol,” he added.The Olympic course will remain the same

as last year. Start times will be staggered with Sprint competitors starting ten minutes after the Olympic race starts.

Cyswog organizers recently started a Facebook page for the event where participants are encour-aged to connect with swim buddies and look for teammates.

Participants can register at Gerick’s Cycle or sign-up online at nelsontri.com.

FROM PAGE 9 The second match seemed to

be locked up as well. Yet, with the Phillies leading 11-2 in the top of the fifth, Pullman rallied scoring seven in the fifth to close the gap to 11-9. West Kootenay scored four more in the top of seven to go up 16-9, but improbably the Pullman squad plated another seven runs to tie the game and force extras. However, the game would be called a tie as it entered the 10th inning.

WKP is just five games back of Central Valley in the Western div-ision, but have four games in hand,

and a playoff spot not looking so far off.

“We’re in the thick of things,” said Miracle. “If we keep winning we got a chance. It’s looking pretty good, if we win our next three we go to University 2 on Sunday and we might actually have to finish the 16-16 game.”

The Diamondbacks play Thursday at Butler in a double bill against Rogers at 5 and 7:30 p.m.

The Phillies are back in action with a game on Friday at Butler at 7:30 p.m. and a doubleheader on Saturday at 10 a.m. and noon.

Dear Annie: My par-ents bought a house 15 years ago. When Mom died seven years later, Dad decided to refi-nance and take Mom’s name off the deed. The bank needed a co-sign-er, so my sister and I agreed to be the co-borrowers.

Dad is now 75. Four years ago, he married a 47-year-old divor-cee with a 22-year-old daughter. Since then, they have been living on my dad’s Social Security without mak-ing any effort to get a job. Now he wants to sell the house and move to Mexico to be closer to her family.

I asked Dad to give us what would have been half of Mom’s share to be split among his seven children. He doesn’t want to give us anything. But with-out my signature, he can’t sell the property. I’m concerned that this woman is taking advantage of my father. What should I do? -- Not Fair

Dear Not Fair: Unless your mother put in her will that the property should go to her children, please give it to Dad without strings. He has been living with this woman for four years. There doesn’t seem to be any physical or emotional abuse, nor is she trying to steal his money and leave him. If she’s tak-ing advantage of him, he doesn’t object. We know you want to pro-tect Dad, but if he is of sound mind, please let him make these deci-sions on his own -- for better or worse.

Dear Annie: I was sitting in my car at the drugstore when a couple came out of the

building, and the man started taking pictures of my car with his smartphone. I put my hand up and asked him to stop photographing me. The woman start-ed yelling, saying I was in a parking lot and she could take pictures of whatever she wants.

Why does everyone think that just because their phones can snap pictures they can take a photo of anyone they want, whenever they choose? -- Annoyed

Dear Annoyed: Because they can. Unless they use the photo for illegal pur-poses, they can take pictures of your car and anything else. If you see the photo post-ed online, you can ask that it be removed, but there are no guaran-tees they will cooper-ate. In fact, this par-ticular couple sounds excessively rude, irri-tating and a bit imma-ture. Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do about it.

Dear Annie: We read

the letter from “Pa and Ma,” who were hurt that the stepchildren spent more time with the in-laws. They asked whether they should move across the coun-try to be closer to their son.

We have two young children and love our parents. However, years ago, we moved far away for better jobs. Both sets of grandpar-ents are in their 60s and retired. They are fairly uninvolved in our lives and visit per-haps once every two or three years. They never offer to babysit and refuse if we ask. Our visits to see them are costly and unpleasant. We receive no financial help from them, nor do we expect it. They’ve also made it clear that they don’t plan to leave us anything when they die.

It makes us sad that our kids will never have a strong bond with their grandparents. “Pa and Ma” sound like they want to spend

time with the grand-kids, want to help out and want to be a big part of their lives. If they lived near us, we would “adopt” them as our kids’ grandparents so they could spend time together.

We have done this with seniors at

our church, who let our kids call them “Grandma and Grandpa.” Please sug-gest to “Pa and Ma” that they look in their area for a family with young children who would love to have them in their lives. -- Two Sides to Every

For Thursday, July 11, 2013

ARIES(March 21 to April 19)Conversations with a par-

ent, especially about past issues, are likely today. Or you might talk to relatives you haven’t seen for a while or plan a family reunion.

TAURUS(April 20 to May 20)The pace of your days is

busy because you’re trying to do a lot and yet transpor-tation delays and silly errors are maddening. Be patient. These are minor snafus.

GEMINI(May 21 to June 20)You have a chance to work

somewhere you worked before or finish old jobs or earn money from past asso-ciations. Be aware of this now and take advantage of it.

CANCER(June 21 to July 22)Be patient with silly errors

and goofy mistakes. This is because Mercury in retro-grade is taking place now in

your sign. Expect delays and misunderstandings.

LEO(July 23 to Aug. 22)Respect your need for

peace and quiet now. In fact, your ability to research things is better than it has ever been. Enjoy working behind the scenes.

VIRGO(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)Friends from the past

might influence your future goals, so be open to what they have to say. It never hurts to listen. You can dis-card their advice if you want.

LIBRA(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)Your relationship with

bosses from your past or people you haven’t seen for a while can benefit you if you keep an open mind. Avoid controversial subjects.

SCORPIO(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Because you can finish

writing projects or school assignments quite easily now, get down to it. History and the study of the past will

be a cinch. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)This is the perfect time

to clean up loose ends with inheritances, mortgages, debt, taxes and anything to do with shared property. It will be like a hot knife cut-ting through butter.

CAPRICORN(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The spirit of compromise

is what you need right now, because so many planets are

opposing you. Ex-partners might be demanding. At least, listen.

AQUARIUS(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Your daily tasks at work

are dogged by misunder-standings, lost paperwork, delays and canceled appoint-ments. Yes, this is frustrat-ing. However, these errors are minor -- admit it.

PISCES(Feb. 19 to March 20)Old flames from the past

might be back on the scene for some of you. Take care how you dress, because liv-ing well is the best revenge. (Ha!)

YOU BORN TODAY You are social and enjoy

the company of others. Even those who are introverted have a circle of friends. Nevertheless, your privacy is important. You have a finger on the pulse of what is going on around you, and admittedly are fond of gos-

sip. You work well in a team. Your year ahead will be even more social than usual, and all your relationships will thrive.
