Music in the Park

returns Thursday

B Y S H E R I R E G N I E RTimes Staff

Time to pull out a lawn chair and welcome the sweet sounds of music in the park.

Thursday night at 7 p.m. with true Scottish tradition, the Trail Pipe Band and Kate E. Shaw dancers will open the Kootenay Savings Music in the Park series.

Music and dance enthusiasts take note, because the 2013 concert roster promises some-thing for everyone.

Throughout the summer, well-known local talents and

out-of-towners will engage the audience with a variety of musical genres ranging from resonating bag pipes and big-band sounds to fiddling and smooth jazz.

On June 20, the Trail Maple Leaf Band, under the direction of Joe Fuoco, will perform a series of numbers, including show tune medleys and march-ing band standards.

Nearing its 100-year anni-versary the band is still going strong and includes members from a 40km radius, with ages ranging from the teens to 92.

Next in line on June 27, is the Harmaniacs and Alpine Rox playing folk tunes both old and new.

That night, a little some-thing special has added to the performance.

“The children’s harmonica ensemble will be the intro act,” said Ray Masleck, president of the Trail District Arts Council.

“I haven’t seen them yet, but reports are they are quite talented and charming.”

Own your western spirit for July as performances include Western Reunion, strumming

old-time cowboy tunes on the 4th; and simple songs from the 1920’s by the Two-Bit Jug Band scheduled for the 11.

The concert series is held every Thursday night in the enchanting surroundings of Trail’s Gyro Park until Aug. 29,except for a Tuesday night performance on July 16.

“The Kootenay Fiddle work-shop on July 16 is an annual event and one of the high-lights of the season,” explained Masleck.

The Silver City has seen a lot of action this year, and Trail council wants to talk to you about it, face-to-face.

“We don’t just wiggle our nose to get things done,” said Eleanor Gattafoni-Robinson, acting Mayor.

“We want to talk to people about their concerns and give them an opportunity to become involved in the process.”

Gattafoni-Robinson is refer-ring to community engagement, an item on council’s list of top priorities for the remainder of its current term, which was discussed at the Monday night meeting.

Out of 15 key initiatives, engaging the community face-to-face rallied five votes in terms of importance to council.

Although council members regularly attend community events in the role of public servant, the forum used to address resident’s concerns is often perceived to be threatening and repercussive.

“People can feel intimidated if they have to come to coun-cil chambers to voice a concern, which is understandable,” said Gattafoni-Robinson.

“But if you have a concern we want to hear it and talk about it,” she said.

“We understand it may feel more comfortable to ask a ques-

tion out of chambers, and face-to-face.”

In an effort to move away from a “cookie cutter” approach, council is considering “to go where the people are.”

Hosting town hall meetings and using a mobile kiosk staffed by council at various community events is being considered, said David Perehudoff, chief adminis-trative officer.

“We are thinking about more interaction on a social level and in a less intimidating atmosphere like the Trail Market,” explained Gattafoni-Robinson.

“Because talking about con-cerns is good for us and it is good for you.”

The task of selecting key pri-orities was tackled by council at workshop facilitated by a local gov-ernment consultancy company in May.

After group discussion, council identified its role, expectations and challenges within the community.

Then council members were given three blue stickers (worth two points) and three red stick-ers (worth one point) and asked to vote for the initiatives they deemed most important.

Topping the list was bound-ary expansion with 10 points; airport acquisition, eight points; community broadband,

1577 Bay Avenue, Trail (250) 364-1515

Today, I will touch on a topic that was covered in col-umns 37 on May

17, 2011 to column 41 on June 14, 2011. What do you do with an opening hand when partner opens in a minor?

The bidding: North has an opening with his 13 points. He does not have a five-card major so he opens his better or longer minor, clubs.

East passes, but had his diamond suit been better, he may have jumped to two diamonds in an effort to take the bid-ding room away from North and South. However, his diamond suit is not strong enough to draw trump readily.

South, if he had one or more four-card suits, he would bid them up the line. Up the line also means alphabet-ical or up the bidding ladder. However, South does not have a four-card suit and only has five clubs.

A raise to two clubs would show six to nine points and a raise to three clubs would show 10-12 points. Some play that three clubs shows an opening hand and

would have no bidding problems here. However, they would have a bid-ding problem with a 10 to 12 point hand.

South knows that an opening hand opposite an opening hand makes 3NT or a major game. Therefore South jumps to 3NT.

The lead: Against notrump, the lead of the ace of hearts is made here.

The lead of the ace shows a five-card suit or longer that is missing one honour. It asks partner to unblock by dropping the honour if he had one. Otherwise, he is to give count. A high card shows an even number and a low card shows an odd number.

Here, East has no choice of cards and he plays his singleton under the ace. Had West played the queen, the top of an interior sequence, West would win the trick and would not be able to return the suit. He would switch to the other major and the defense will get their seven tricks.

The play: 3NT goes down three trick

before South can get in. The result is typical because North and South were not able to show stoppers in the majors. The way to solve the problems associ-ated with minor suit openings will be discussed next column.

Result: 3NT goes down three for -150.

However, the key priorities are not set in stone and may be shuffled as the year pro-gresses.

In light of Telus and Shaw Communications announcing million dollar investments to upgrade internet services to fibre optics in Trail this year, the city’s plan to provide a similar service to downtown businesses may be thwarted.

“The need for the city to pursue community broadband and create redundant service may now not be as important,” said Perehudoff.

He said council will reconsider this priority at its next formal review.

Perehudoff noted that although library relocation is not on its priority list, the city remains steadfast on its offer made public ear-lier this year.

“The city is committed to set aside land for a new building and to proceed with conceptual drawings and budget to take forward to refer-endum in November 2014.”

A 69-year old Trail man remains in a Vancouver hospital following a serious crash between a motorcycle and pick-up truck on the afternoon of June 1.

The male operator of the motorcycle is recovering from what are considered severe but non-life threatening injuries to his jaw, pelvis, wrist, arm and ribs, said Sgt Darryl Little, from the Kootenay Boundary RCMP detachment.

The man and his 22 year-old female passen-ger, both sustained serious injuries after being thrown from the bike on impact.

The woman, a Trail resident, has been released from Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital and is expected to make a full recovery from significant injuries to her back and pelvis, said Little.

The names of the individuals involved are not being released by the RCMP at the request of family. No charges have yet been laid and police continue to investigate the cause of the accident, which occurred on Highway 3/6, five km east of Salmo.

*****Nelson RCMP issued a public warning to

residents in the West Kootenay on Tuesday, as a reminder not to act on any request or to share any personal information with person or busi-ness over the phone.

The warning comes after two elderly resi-dents were victimized in recent telephone fraud scam. Over the past two weeks, at least two elderly local residents have been victimized by a scam starts with telephone call from a person claiming to be a distant relative who is in jail and in urgent need of money.

B y S a S c h a P o r t e o u S Grand Forks GazetteSaddle Lake could

become the first desig-nated regional park of the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area D.

“We have made an application (to the province) for the Crown lands surround-ing Saddle Lake,” said John MacLean, the RDKB’s CAO. “We are interested in turning it into a regional park.

“We have the water licences for Saddle Lake now so we are responsible for the lake and the dam, and direc-tor (Irene) Perepolkin and alternate direc-tor (Roly) Russell now have said that it’s a beautiful location and it would be a great lit-tle regional park, and so we made the appli-cation,” he said.

Mark Andison, plan-

ner with the RDKB, said the property itself is 4.2 hectares in size.

“In order to do any-thing around the lake, in terms of operating it as part of the Area D park function, we needed to have tenure (the holding or lease of land) in order to allow us to operate it as a park facility,” said Andison.

If the province were to approve the designa-tion of Saddle Lake as a regional park, then it would be managed by the regional govern-ment and funded by the regional govern-ment taxpayers.

“The lake is being used informally as passive recreation and I know that the (Boundary) museum and Granby Wilderness Society do tours up there with school kids to show them some

of the natural ecol-ogy of the area,” said Andison.

Jenny Coleshill, project co-ordin-ator for the Granby Wilderness Society, said that the lake has a lot of historical value.

“It was first built by the Doukhobors in 1913,” she said.

Andison said that the park would be managed as a con-servation area with an interest in tourism as well.

“The district is not planning on managing it any different then it has been managed in the past ... basically keeping it as a conserv-ation area,” he said.

“Hopefully it will be the beginning of a pro-ductive parks function for Area D.”

“The application is currently under review and no decision has

been made. It was recently advertised for public comment and First Nations are also being consulted as part of the process,” stated

Brennan Clarke, pub-lic affairs officer with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, in an email.

B y A l i n A K o n e v s K iChilliwack ProgressSome Chilliwack

farmers are fighting to protect their land from unnecessary damage by a natural gas pipeline company, even under threat of a forced entry order.

Members of the Fraser Valley Association of Pipeline Landowners, led by president Gord Mitchell, want a strin-gent contract with Spectra Energy before the company enters their land to replace an outdated pipeline under their fields.

Negotiations have failed. Mitchell was served legal papers on Friday from Spectra Energy, indicating that the company has applied to the National Energy Board for a forced entry order onto Mitchell’s cornfield, which is home to the well-known Sparkes Corn Barn.

Mitchell has 21 days to respond before NEB makes a ruling.

“We’re just going to ask the NEB that they leave it for us to sign a contract so that we can protect ourselves,” said Mitchell.

“If the worst hap-pens, if the order comes through, then we’re backed into a corner where we won’t have any other recourse except to stand in front of the machines. Because we have to have this (the con-tract). We can’t allow them to do this again,” he said, referring to land damage resulting from Spectra’s repair of the pipeline two years ago.

Since first installing the pipeline in 1957, the line has become strained as Chilliwack’s population has grown and activity passing overhead and nearby has increased.

In line with regula-tions, Spectra Energy must replace three kilometres of pipeline that cuts underneath the city with another pipe with stronger walls. Most of the designated replace-ment will be through agricultural land.

The company planned to start this first phase of the pro-

ject early this month, expecting to com-plete it by September. However, because some farmers along the line have refused access without a rigid con-tract, Spectra has not begun the work.

In 2011, Spectra came onto Mitchell’s land to investigate an anomaly in the pipe. The crop at the dig site was totally damaged as a result. And, the heavy machinery that drove through the field to access the dig com-pressed the soil to such an extent that next year’s corn along the access route was much smaller and paler, and worth much less, than the corn one row over.

“We will be compen-sating for damages and for crop losses based on the fair market value of whatever crops are affected...in that 30-metre right-of-way,” said Gary Weilinger, Spectra Energy’s vice-president of external affairs.

Mitchell received approximately $68,000 in compensation for damage related to Spectra’s work on the pipeline in 2011. But the amount covered only one year of losses, whereas crop damage has extended to every subsequent year.

Two bears were shot and killed Monday morning after fighting viciously in a Coquitlam driveway.

A homeowner caught the battle between the two large male bears on video; they can be seen on their hind legs, clawing at each other, the ground underneath them spotted with blood.

“There was blood all over the pavement and bear fur scattered everywhere, quite a bit of it,” said conservation officer Cody Ambrose.

Coquitlam RCMP and members of the Conservation Officer Service (COS) arrived at the home at about 10 a.m. They spotted one of the animals, which had a bloody face, in the front of the house. When they searched the area, they found the second bear in the back yard, and both were destroyed.

“The two bears were acting aggressively and it was of concern to the COS because then we had two injured bears in the neigh-bourhood,” Ambrose said, adding the bears were not only fighting on the doorstep of a home but also didn’t want to leave the area.

Sid Neville is missing and presumed drowned after a storm swamped his boat as he was fishing in the frigid waters of Francois Lake, 25 kilo-metres south of Burns Lake, on June 7.

He survived a blast at the Babine Forest Products sawmill in January 2011, when two workers died and 19 others were injured.

Just weeks ago, Neville married his longtime sweetheart Marley Neville.

Health Canada docu-ments say the popu-lar birth-control pills Yaz and Yasmin have been linked to the deaths of at least 23 Canadian women -the youngest just age 14.

Health Canada confirms the deaths are among about 600 adverse reac-tions reported among women taking the c o n t r a c e p t i v e s between 2007 and Feb. 28 of this year.

Doctors and phar-macists who submit-ted the reports to the Canada Vigilance Program said Yaz and Yasmin are suspected in the 23 deaths.

The reports say most of the women died suddenly after developing blood clots.

Health Canada cautions that often it is not possible to determine if a reported adverse reaction results from using a specific health

product because other factors could contribute.

Yaz and Yasmin, often characterized as “newer-generation” birth-control pills, are both made by Bayer, which has told CBC News in a state-

ment that patient safety comes first and that it stands behind them.

The pills are the subject of a class-action lawsuit in Canada and there have been lawsuits in the United States.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SEDMONTON - About 500 Edmonton

high school students have skipped class to protest underfunding in education.

The students, many bused in on transports provided by unions, listened to speeches and music from a rock band on the steps of the Alberta legislature.

Many waved protest signs that read “Taking Back Our Education,” some splashed around in the legislature wading pool, and a few brought their skateboards.

Organizers say it’s time to call attention to years of underfunding that is sapping the system of its vital resources.

Alberta’s opposition NDP and Liberals were on hand to show their support, but no one from Premier Alison Redford’s Conservative government was there.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Tom

Mulcair is trying to cast the NDP as the ethical antidote to Conservative and Liberal corruption.

The federal NDP leader used a speech Tuesday to paint the “old-line parties” as two peas in a pod - tired, unaccountable, self-serving and cor-rupted by the pursuit of power.

“It’s not just that any one government or member of Parliament is corrupt,” he told the Canadian Club of Ottawa.

“It’s that the old-line parties them-selves have become corrupted. They’ve become tired, com-placent, they feel entitled. They’ve given up on being account-able to the interests and expectations of Canadians. They’ve lost sight of what they came here to do.”

By contrast, Mulcair maintained the NDP has retained its energy and its idealism - per-haps, he seemed to suggest, because it’s never won power fed-erally and, therefore,

has not been corrupted by it.

“What New Democrats are offer-ing is a positive, pro-gressive vision based on our shared values,” he said. “Its a vision that turns the page from the tired and cor-rupted record of suc-cessive Conservative and Liberal govern-ments and builds for the future.”

Mulcair contended the Conservatives - awash in a stubborn Senate expenses scan-dal that refuses to go away - have become part of the culture of entitlement their pre-cursors in the Reform party rode into Ottawa to change.

“Step by step, the old Reform-turned-Conservative party has turned its back on its own ideals in the pur-suit of power,” he said, echoing the complaint of Alberta MP Brent Rathgeber as he quit the Tory caucus last week.

Mulcair didn’t men-tion newly minted Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau by name but he contended the Grits have become so dom-inated by corruption that they’re incapable of changing their ways, no matter who is lead-ing the party.

“Every time Canadians grow tired of their latest round of ethical lapses, Liberals go looking for a new saviour. They prom-ise it’s a new day, they promise that this time it’ll be different,” he said.

“And each and every time, it ends the same way, with nothing but broken promises and broken hearts.”

OPINION

Natural resources industries critical to B.C.’s successBritish Columbia is

a province with an increasingly urban-based population

whose economic success has historically been tied to the efficient extraction, processing and exporting of commodities. In 2011, approximately four-fifths of B.C.’s international mer-chandise exports consisted of goods produced by the forestry, energy, mining and agri-food industries taken as a group.

This proportion is lit-tle changed from 10 years ago, and it is substantially higher than the share of resource-based goods in overall Canadian merchan-dise exports.

Today’s heavily urban population is poorly equipped to understand the realities of B.C.’s industrial and economic base. Elected officials, media commenta-tors, and the province’s cul-tural and intellectual elites disproportionately hail from the comfy precincts of the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria. Yet urban British Columbia is not where the export wealth that does so much to underpin our standard of living is mainly generated.

There is, in short, a grow-ing disconnect between the demographic structure

of the province and the industrial and export base that supports the prov-ince’s economy. This puts resource industry stake-holders and the commun-ities in which they operate at a disadvantage in the noisy arenas of provincial politics and public affairs. To be heard, they must be persistent in articulating a simple but fundamental message: to a significant extent, British Columbia’s economic well-being depends on well-managed resource industries that are able to get their products to the markets where we do business today – as well as to those that we aspire to access in the future.

A thriving resource economy requires sensible government policies in a number of areas. These include:

1) the management and regulation of the resource extraction occurring on Crown land;

2) a competitive tax and fiscal structure that sup-ports a reasonable return on private sector capital invested while also ensur-ing that the Crown obtains a fair return on the prov-ince’s collective resource wealth;

3) the efficient applica-tion of science-based stan-

dards for environmental protection and project review; and

4) programs to help develop the skills and tal-ent needed to fill today’s increasingly knowledge-based resource sector jobs.

How does B.C.’s resource economy measure up, judged against the acid test of competitiveness? Two areas of public policy stand out in this context.

Start with taxation. The recent return of the prov-incial retail tax in place of the Harmonized Sales Tax represents a backward step for most B.C. indus-tries, including many of our leading exporters. The Business Council of B.C. estimates that re-instating the retail sales tax will increase the cost of produ-cing goods and services in the province by $1.5 billion

per year, with the negative impacts felt most acutely by businesses engaged in resource development, value-added manufactur-ing, transportation, and parts of the advanced tech-nology sector. For many companies, the B.C. car-bon tax presents an added economic burden: by rais-ing the cost of all forms of fossil fuel energy, the carbon tax makes it more expensive to produce goods in British Columbia, and to ship those goods to market. Then there is the one-point increase in the corporate income tax rate announced in the February 2013 prov-incial budget. On top of all of this, B.C. is further dis-advantaged by having few tax-based incentives aimed at encouraging investment in resource upgrading and value-added processing.

The second key policy area is government regu-lation. B.C. has made progress in reducing “red tape” and easing govern-ment-related paperwork requirements, particularly for smaller businesses. But the picture is less posi-tive for major industry and for our key resource sectors. Gaining access to Crown land and resources; obtaining licenses, permits and approvals in a timely

manner; and dealing with the complex thicket of First Nations rights and title issues and consultation obligations – all of these remain big challenges for many resource companies.

There are no magic solu-tions to these problems, but at a minimum the province should commit to “smart regulation” in all fields under its jurisdiction, exer-cise its responsibility as the ultimate landlord and deci-sion-maker over the Crown land base, and ensure that front-line Ministries are properly resourced to handle the flow of business coming their way.

It’s also important that policy-makers develop a better understanding of the cumulative impact of regu-lation by looking, on a sec-tor-by-sector basis, at the full array of government rules, fees, legal and admin-istrative requirements in a holistic way – a perspective that’s sometimes been lack-ing here, but one that’s par-ticularly important to the economic viability of the natural resource industries that continue to be main-stays of British Columbia’s prosperity.

CROWN POINT HOTEL

Buffet menu may change dailyWhat else is there to say about the Wild West (or WWE) attitude of NHL

referees in the playoffs? Unless somebody swings an axe, they “let the players decide it.” And the crowd, like those who bayed in ancient Rome’s Coliseum, loves it. So much for civilization.

At what cost? When the reports come in from the play-off infirmary, we’re going to hear about serious injuries – possible concussions were ignored (Sydney Crosby again? Tony Lydman) or recovery rushed (Mike Richards, Jarett Stoll) while dirty play abounded:

– Shea Weber shoves Henrik Z e t t e r b e r g ’ s head into the glass: fine, no suspension

– Byron Bitz hits Kyle Clifford from behind, sending him into the boards: two-game suspension

– Matt Carkner sucker punches Brian Boyle, continu-ing to hit him after he goes down: one-game suspension

– Carl Hagelin elbows Daniel Alfredsson in the head: three-game suspension.

“Consistency is always elu-sive from the NHL’s depart-ment of player safety, but the playoffs are a whole new arbitrary world . . . .,” from Barry Petchesky, On NHL Suspension and Eggshell Skulls.

I know people who refused to watch the rest of the play-offs this year, even though their favourite team was still on the ice. The level of vio-lence and criminal behaviour has just been too much.

To me, the referees and especially league officials are more to blame than the play-

ers, who adapt to the officiat-ing. The NHL is after high ratings, not good sport. It’s a business. And timid referees don’t want to be blamed for deciding a game’s outcome by enforcing the rules. As a result, player safety and the game’s integrity lie bleeding on the ice.

I came late to this party. It wasn’t until the 2011 playoffs, when Brad Marchand kept punching Daniel Sedin in the face without a penalty, that I at last became disgusted. Poor

Daniel! Imagine, he actually expected the ref-erees to enforce the rules.

This year, Marchand has matured a lit-tle, but still isn’t exactly an exemplar of sportsman-ship. Neither are many other players. Some of

the muggings deserved crim-inal sanction, not just elusive suspensions.

How does the NHL ignore player safety? Let us count the ways:

1. Failure to adopt the lar-ger Olympic-sized ice surface in an era of bigger, faster, stronger players.

2. Allowing protective equipment which can be used as offensive weapons.

3. Failure to take concus-sions and other body collision injuries seriously, except for cosmetic measures.

4. Too many games, too short recovery times.

5. Failure to abolish fight-ing.

6. A culture that criticiz-es Sedin for not retaliating against Marchand, instead of one that even-handedly enfor-ces the rules against cheap-shop artists.

The media are not exempt

from criticism either. Don Cherry’s “Rock ‘em, sock ‘em” videos, sports channels and writers glorifying big fights and hits and romanticizing “enforcers.”

People have died because of all this.

Yet doesn’t it come down to us, the hockey fans? If we wanted, we could force rule changes which treat players like human beings, not sacri-ficial pieces of meat. Why do we allow this? Careers ended. Scrambled brains.

A terrible example for impressionable kids.

Coaches and general man-agers should also search their consciences. What sort of players do they sign and play? Right now it looks as if big bodies playing kamikaze hock-ey can crush smaller, faster and more skilled teams. Is this what we want?

Maybe, of course, it’s always been this way – remember Conn Smythe and “if you can’t beat them in the alley, you can’t beat them on the ice”?

But haven’t we learned any ethics in the last 80 years?

Apparently not.There is a remedy, but not

with today’s NHL governors. We need some business people who love creative hockey to establish a new league with limited contact and no fight-ing, whose teams have to qual-ify annually to remain in the elite division.

Then let the bullies and barbarians maim each other in the NHL while hockey is com-mitted elsewhere.

This may never happen, but I would have loved to compare attendance numbers. Skilled players! Knowledgeable fans!

HUBNER, ERNEST ANTON (ERNIE) — January 31, 1938 – June 7, 2013

E r n i e was born and raised in Rossland, B.C. where he met Donna, his wife of 52 years. In 1971 the family relocated to Nanaimo. During these years he continued to enjoy skiing, � shing, camping and hik-ing, family outings, dancing and music. Ernie loved a good time and was fun to be with.

He is survived by his wife Donna, Son Todd (Tracy), grand-

sons Kenny, Dustin & Kyle; son Travis (Terry) Kyle; sister, Elea-nor MacPherson and her family, Kendall, Clay and Heidi.

We wish to thank the doc-tors, nurses and staff of the Pal-liative Care Unit at the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital for their compassion and excellent care. Special thanks to Dr. Hen-rick Reems, his family physician for many years.

No service by request. There will be a private family celebra-tion at a later date. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of B.C. would be appreciated.

***WYATT, ED — of Trail passed

away with his family by his side on June 7, 2013 at the young age

of 70 years. Ed was born in Outlook, Sas-

katchewan. The love of hockey brought Ed and Elaine to Trail in 1965. In his younger years he made his living for a time as a Trail Fireman and Ambulance At-tendant. Later with the trades of an electri-cian and plumber he built and renovated many homes in the area. He still retained his love of hockey and was the coach of the Castlegar Rebels and the Beaver Valley Nitehawks where he made many lifetime friendships with

the players and others involved in the sport at the Junior level. He was a well know Realtor in the area and later a Broker, bringing ReMax to Trail in the early 90’s. Over the years he was a devoted husband and father, and cher-ished his 16 years of being the Greatest Papa to his 5 grand-daughters! During his retirement he found great enjoyment while camping, boating, � shing and of course working on many differ-ent projects with his two sons.

He is survived by his loving wife Elaine; his children: Rob (Sonya, Rhylah, Reigha, Rannde) all of Montrose, and Joe (Brenda, Jasmine, Alexis) all of Beaver Falls.

OBITUARIESOBITUARIES

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SJOHANNESBURG, South Africa

- The desk is spotless and books neatly line the shelves in Nelson Mandela’s office at a Johannesburg-based foundation that carries his name, but the former South African president and anti-apartheid leader hasn’t worked there for years.

The meticulously preserved room is one of many tributes to the legacy of a former prisoner who became so revered for his efforts to reconcile a racially divided nation that many South Africans cannot bring themselves to speak openly about the possibility of his death.

That reluctance is gradually eroding as the 94-year-old receives treatment for a recurring lung infection, spending a fourth day in a Pretoria hospital on Tuesday.

President Jacob Zuma called Mandela’s condition “very serious” but said he has stabilized.

Prayers are pouring in for Mandela, adding to a mood of urgency about his deteriorating health that has been compounded by a series of hospital stays in recent months. The description of Mandela as “ravaged by time,” in a statement from a foundation led by retired archbishop Desmond Tutu and his wife, speaks to the fragile state of a man who is so mighty in stature.

Concerns about his health already had been heightened in recent weeks after a video broadcast on state television in April showed him silent and unresponsive, even when Zuma tried to hold his hand.

“He was a very fruitful fighter, but he’s only human,” said Thabiso Masemola, a 21-year-old student.

“He’s reached a point in life where he needs to rest. Let him go, let him be. He’s finished his purpose in life.”

Such a view is gaining currency as South Africans become uneasy with the protracted decline of Mandela, who endured 27 years in prison during white minority rule and became the first black president in all-race elections in 1994. At the other end of the spectrum is a stub-born hope that this larger-than-life figure will somehow defy the inevit-able.

The aversion to blunt talk of Mandela’s eventual demise stems partly from traditional respect for the living, but also from adulation in a country that put Mandela’s image on its banknotes and erected busts and statues in his likeness.

Mzinkosi Tantsi, a driver for a neighbour of Mandela in the Johannesburg neighbourhood of Houghton, said it had been a “bless-ing” to shake the former president’s hand.

For Johannesburg resident Mokgadi Mabuti, Mandela’s sacri-fice and contribution to reconcili-ation amount to a psychological balm. She struggles with the idea of his departure even though South Africa, for all its inequality and other social problems, is relatively stable.

“I’m worried about what might happen when he’s dead. Most of the things that have happened in South Africa are because of him, so I’m not ready to let him go,” she said.

In his autobiography, “Long Walk to Freedom,” Mandela sum-marized a life of struggle:

“I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.”

Now he is climbing the last hill.

Over 120 kids were on hand for the 18th annual Mini World Cup held in Fruitvale’s Mazzochi Park Saturday. Soccer players from around the West Kootenay were assigned to 12 teams representing countries in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa for a day-long fun tournament. This year the teams from Europe came out on top.

Great results set up Stingrays’ meetB Y J I M B A I L E Y

Times Sports EditorThe Trail Stingrays Swim Club dove

into its season with impressive results at the Grand Forks swim meet on Saturday.

The annual Grand Forks meet for new and up-and-coming swimmers was perfect preparation for the Trail Stingrays swim meet this coming week-end at the Trail Aquatic Centre, as Stingrays swimmers set five meet rec-ords, and collected a dozen aggregate medals, while placing second overall in team points at the meet.

“There were copious amounts of per-

sonal best times; some swimmers took off as many as 13 seconds in their races,” said Stingrays coach Samme Beatson in an email. “I am very proud of the team’s astounding performance in Grand Forks and look forward to their next swim meet accomplishments this weekend in Trail.”

Among the aggregate medal winners were first time recipients Nicole Merry, placing third in Div. 4 girl, while Josie Dunham claimed third in the Div. 1 girls category.

Diego Greenwood set two meet rec-ords in Div. 4 boys in the 50-metre freestyle and 100-m. backstroke. Daniel

Merry clocked a new meet record in Div. 5 boys 50-m. fly, while Sam Grebe set a new standard in Div. 8 women’s 100-m. breastroke.

To top off the very successful meet the Div. 4 boys freestyle relay team, consisting of Diego Greenwood, Josh Ballarin, Reid Dunham, and Logan Blair, also raced to a new meet record.

It was the first meet ever for Ellie Knox, Olivia and Isabella Ady, Jessica Debiasio, and Kira Konkin who all had amazing races.

The Trail Stingrays Swim Meet will be held this weekend starting at 9 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

Mass. - Tim Tebow is back on the field with an NFL team - the New England Patriots.

The Patriots

announced the sign-ing of the former Jets quarterback on Tuesday, six weeks after he was cut by New York and just in time for the start of

the three-day Patriots minicamp that runs through Thursday.

Tebow practiced with veteran New England starter Tom Brady and backup

Ryan Mallett. The newest Patriot wore No. 5, not his familiar 15 - which belongs to Mallett - on his shorts and helmet. The QBs wore red jerseys with-

out numbers.Two people with

knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press that Tebow was signed for two years with no guaranteed money. One person says he will make the veteran’s minimum salary, $630,000 in 2013, with incentives.

The people spoke on condition of ano-nymity because terms of the deals had not been announced.

ESPN first reported terms of the signing.

“Anything we do, we feel is in the best interests of the team,” coach Bill Belichick said at a standing-room-only news con-ference before prac-tice. “We’ll see how it goes.”

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SCHICAGO - The Chicago Blackhawks appear

to be making some changes to their lineup for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final against the Boston Bruins.

Coach Joel Quenneville jumbled his forwards at practice Tuesday, including putting Marian Hossa on the top line with Patrick Sharp and Jonathan Toews.

Brandon Bollig is also expected to replace Viktor Stalberg in the lineup.

Bollig skated in Stalberg’s place on the fourth line alongside centre Marcus Kruger and right-winger Michael Frolik.

“They played well together, that line, all year long,” Quenneville said. “It could happen.”

The 26-year-old left-winger last played in Game 3 of the Western Conference quarter-finals against the Minnesota Wild on May 5.

Stalberg has three assists and a minus-1 rat-ing in 15 playoff games.

The change at the top drops playoff break-out star Bryan Bickell to the second line with Michal Handzus and Patrick Kane. It’s perhaps a chance to spread the Blackhawks’ top scor-ers out against Zdeno Chara and the Bruins’ defence.

“You still have Toews, Sharp and Hossa on one line,” Kane said. “That’s a very, very power-ful line. I’m with Handzus and Bickell, who have both been playing very well through playoffs.”

Bickell did not work on either power-play unit Tuesday. David Bolland is set to resume his role as the checking-line centre.

This is not the first time Quenneville has toyed with things during the Blackhawks’ run, and players don’t seem to mind the shuffling.

“Joel does a great job of mixing and match-ing lines,” Sharp said. “He’s got a great feel for our team. He knows how to run a bench, so as a player I trust Joel knows what he’s doing.”

The Bruins practised at TD Garden in Boston before flying to Chicago.

Coach Claude Julien did not showcase any changes, and it’s likely the Bruins’ lineup is the same one that was on the ice at the end of the Eastern Conference final sweep of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Game 1 goes tonight in Chicago at 5 p.m.

Dear Annie: I have a friend who has a divorced daughter with two children. The ex-husband has a good job with the govern-ment. My friend is very strapped for money and sends as much as she can to the daughter. The daughter claims the ex-husband does not pay child support regularly.

I feel the daugh-ter should go to his employer about the child support. There are laws about this. But my friend and her daughter both believe this might cause him to lose his job. Then there would be no money coming at all. I disagree. I don’t believe you can be fired for gar-nishment of wages. But talking to my friend is like talking to a wall.

The new wrinkle is, the ex-husband is about to remarry. I have known this guy since he was a teenager, and he is a fine man. I don’t, however, have the same warm feel-

ings toward my friend’s daughter. Is there some way I can look into her claim about the child support without causing trouble? My friend is about to lose her house, and I don’t think she should be giving away her money to her daughter.

I realize this is none of my business, but watching the effect this has on my friend breaks my heart. -- Just Concerned

Dear Concerned: We cannot caution you enough to stay out of this. The mother may suspect her daughter is not telling her the truth and wants to give her the money anyway. The daughter may be

perfectly honest about the child support, rendering your high opinion of the ex-husband unwarranted. And there could be other things going on of which you are unaware. If the daugh-ter is not receiving child support, she can take the matter to the courts. We understand your concern, but no good can come from your snooping around.

Dear Annie: My boy-friend and I have been dating for three years. This summer, we are planning to go camp-ing with his family. They are religious and have strict morals, so my boyfriend says he will not sleep in the same tent with me. He argues that since they invited us on their camping trip, we should abide by their rules and expectations.

However, I believe that since we’re both adults and have been together for so long, it’s our right to sleep together. Who’s wrong?

-- Sleeping AloneDear Sleeping: You

are. These are his par-ents, and this is their camping trip. You not only should abide by their rules, but you should show them the kind of respect your boyfriend is showing by giving their sensitiv-ities a priority when in their presence as their guests.

Dear Annie: I’d like to agree with “Encino, Calif.,” who needs a handicapped parking spot even though her disability is not visible.

I am an amputee. In the winter, no one can see my prosthesis under my pants. I can walk faster than a lot of people with two good legs, but I periodically get a sore “leg” and have fallen several times. So I legally park in the handicapped spot. I have never had anyone openly direct a nasty comment toward me, but I sure have had my share of dirty looks. Someone once “reminded” me that I

was in a handicapped spot, so I lifted up my pants leg. That shut him up.

I would like to tell people that just because we don’t look disabled doesn’t mean we are not. Things beyond our control have happened to us. Also, to those of

you who park in the handicapped spaces “just for a minute” to drop something off: I once had to cross a snow-covered park-ing lot in a wheelchair when the handicapped spaces were full of people without prop-er stickers or license

plates. Shame on you! -- Michigan Girl

For Thursday, June 13, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a lovely day! Enjoy flirtations, and have fun schmoozing with others. What a great day to party. Accept all invitations. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Family discussions will go well today. You’ll enjoy entertaining at home. Make plans to invite people over, because this is a winning, friendly day. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Relations with others are harmonious today. Expect to make new friends. This is a good day to schmooze with others, especially at home. (Invite the gang over!) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good day for business and commerce, especially with professional sports, the arts, the enter-tainment world and show business. Behind-the-scenes information will help.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Things easily go your way today, which is why you will enjoy relating to others. Don’t be afraid to push a little and ask for what you want. Someone might encourage you to move for-ward to attain your goals. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) People in authority notice you now, in part, because you’re ambitious. However, it appears that behind-the-scenes help can push your agenda and make you shine! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Look for ways to travel today, especially with family members. You might explore opportunities in publishing, medicine and the law. You want more out of life today. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Private details about your personal life might be made public today. In particular, this could concern shared property, inheritances and

insurance matters. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be patient with part-ners and friends if they seem annoying (which is very likely the case). Instead, do something different. Go someplace you’ve never been before. Shake it up a little. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It’s easy to work hard today, and it’s just as easy to delegate. Basically, you want

to accomplish a lot, because you sense that the support from others will help you do this. Go, go, go. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a fun-loving, social day. Enjoy good times with romantic partners, sports colleagues and children. Slip away on a quick vacation if you can, because you want to have fun!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Discussions with a female relative could be signifi-cant today. Look for ways to make improvements at home or explore real-estate opportunities. YOU BORN TODAY You’re imaginative and intuitive. You seek adventure and dream of distant places, because fan-tasies fuel your activities. Obstacles will not deter you, because you are relentless

in pursuing your goals. You tend to idealize events and hero worship loved ones. Make time in your year ahead to study or learn something valuable, as it will benefit you in the future.
