Busy year for Search and Rescue crews

HIGH HEAT

Missing teen found BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

It has been one of the busiest years on record for the South Columbia Search and Rescue unit. With 14 major rescues and recoveries coming into the Greater Trail-based unit this year, all aspects of the 34-man team have been tested, including the brand new canine unit. South Columbia “High water president Ron Medland has played a said there have been nearly double the normal huge role.” amount of calls this year for rescue services, and RON MEDLAND the severity of the calls has intensified. Already the number of calls have exceeded what would be an average year, around 10 calls. Medland said the call volume and intensity rivals 2010 when the water was also high. “Again, it was high water … and it was people not being careful,” he said. “High water has played a huge role.” Michelle Huber and Janine Issel and their dogs were in Johnsons Landing during the search for people trapped in the massive landslide that took place three weeks ago. “It was a great opportunity to put them to the test but it was pretty scary walking around on that slide,” he said. Every major news story of note relating the environment in the West Kootenay has involved parts of the South Columbia unit. In June they had the swift water rescue team in Crawford Bay. Local officials were worried about a dyke breaking and flooding out a campsite when water began to rise in the area. Prior to that the same team was called in for a recovery of a man who died in the raging waters of Pass Creek.

Weather hinders recreation in Pend d’Oreille

One of the region’s favourite campsites is slated to remain closed until investigations about a recent landslide have been completed. A total of 10 sites in Buckley’s Campground southeast of Trail were evacuated more than two weeks ago after a contract-

Sharman, the timing of the closure—before the August long weekend—couldn’t have been worse. But Mother Nature was the culprit, not the manmade structures in the area. A total of 22 campsites were unavailable during the B.C. long weekend. “The issue was a result of extreme rain—it had noth-

ing to do reservoirs,” he said. A geotechnical report has been issued and the closure will remain in effect until further notice. And BC Hydro expects to receive in-depth analysis from the report, allowing the area to undergo stabilization. According to the latest river report, the Columbia

The girl that spurred ground searches and police investigations across the West Kootenay has been located. Morgan Durocher, 14, of Nelson has been located in a north Okanagan community, after police successfully followed up several leads. The girl—reported missing 11 days ago before “voluntarily” leaving her Warfield foster July 30—was found Thursday morning by Enderby RCMP. “She did not turn herself in. Morgan Durocher was located, unharmed, with her boyfriend in Enderby,” confirmed Trail RCMP detachment Sgt. Rob Hawton. With Durocher having a history of running away, Hawton could not speculate on how she would be dealt with as a future risk to run, or where she would be returned. Because she was a young person and had now been found, he was not at liberty to disclose any details.

What evil lurks in the hearts of men? Or better yet, what would make a non-violent group of people steeped in a peace-loving faith turn to a life of organized crime? Those are the questions explored in the message behind the medium of Rossland’s Iron Mountain Theatre’s latest musical theatre offering, Mennonite Mafia: The Untold Story of Abraham Harms. Opening for two nights Sunday and Monday (7:30 p.m.) at the Miners’ Hall, the musical mixes history with mystery as it explores why a devote Mennonite in Abraham Harms—a Protestant faith dedicated to non violence— would find his life’s calling in the crime world. Harms was the first Mennonite ever arrested for drug smuggling, said playwright and star of the musical,

R. J. Peters, who co-wrote the play with Mark Pollard (with music by Nadine Tremblay). “I wondered what would make someone from a Mennonite way of life take such a drastic U-turn and become a drug smuggler?� said Peters about his idea for the script. “And not only that, but pass the new family ‘business’ onto his sons who remain, to this day, major players in Mexican organized crime.� The question marinated for eight years before Peters brought a script to life one year ago when production of the musical took shape. Using a group of six professional actors, along with live musicians— including banjo virtuoso Gabe Gaudet—the story follows Abraham Harms, who moves with his family from Ontario to Mexico, because of differing beliefs with the government at the time. Peters said the play was

ffor You & Your Family

inspired by true events, but since there were so few articles written on him, some elaboration was needed to fill in the gaps. “Abraham was the first guy to have the idea of smuggling marijuana across the border in the furniture that he had made,� said Peters, who plays the main character. “In 1989, he was also the first person to be busted.� The show starts out very light, with comedic elements, then heats up in the second part as the reality of the nature of their work catches up with them, Peters explained. The shows runs for two nights, Sunday, Aug. 12 and Monday, Aug. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at the Miners’ Hall in Rossland, with a third night Monday, Aug. 20 at 8 p.m. in the Warfield Community Hall. Tickets are $15 and are available at Rossland Pro Hardware, by phone at 250-

364-3823, or at the door before the show. The story Mennonite Mafia tells the real life story of Chuatemac resident Abraham Harms, a practicing Mexican Mennonite. Abraham brought his family from Canada to Mexico to escape new laws from Canada that were not in line with his beliefs. Upon arrival, he discovered his new home of Chuatemac to be stricken by a longstanding drought, and when new trade relations between North America and Mexico came to fruition, Abraham found himself unable to farm or sell his handcrafted furniture across the border. With times as desperate as they can get, Abraham decides to team up with a local drug cartel in the transportation of “goods� across the border and forms the first ever Mennonite Mafia.

LOCAL Rain causes slope instability FROM PAGE 1 folks back in there,” he said, alluding to an ongoing geotechnical analysis in the area. A slope above the area in the campground received heavy rainfall during in mid July and was weakened, said Sharman, according to a report received by a campground contractor in the area. The potential for slope instability was reported to the BC Hydro regional manager at Seven Mile Dam, immediately prompting evacuation of the campground until the geotechnical analysis could be done. B u c k l e y ’ s Campground is situ-

ated on the shore of BC Hydro’s Pend d’Oreille Reservoir. The reservoir serves not only as a source of hydroelectric power, but as a recreational area for camping, picnicking, swimming, boating, canoeing, wildlife viewing and fishing. BC Hydro has advised that reservoir levels can change rapidly (up to six metres each day), resulting in exposed shoals or anchored debris.

Instead, the members ended up evacuating several families from the Slocan Valley West Road when the nearby Slocan River threatened their homes. Two weeks ago South Columbia members were part of a medical rescue up on a trail near Rossland when a

67-year-old woman slipped and broke her ankle after she caught it between two rocks. One week ago the swift water rescue team and rope technicians were in Christina Lake, doing a recovery of a lady who had drowned in the Kettle River. In afternoon they searched the river from

campground to the border looking for a man who was still missing. They returned on Saturday to continue the search. Medland said the team does not turn down a request for help. Each call is an opportunity to work on the skill set the unit is mastering, using a

live scenario. “You can’t always simulate all situations,” he said. “This is the real stuff and this is where they do the learning.” The South Columbia unit covers from the Columbia River over to Salmo, across to Genelle and down to the U.S. border.

Firefighters kept busy after lightning storm BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

Nothing like rubbing a little lightning on your geography to create a rash of spot fires during this hot summer weather spell. A burst of lightning Wednesday morning sparked 26 new fires in the Southeast Fire Centre region in the last week, but the majority of them were spot fires, said fire information officer Karlie Shaughnessy. A spot fire can be as small as one tree or up to one metre square, she said, but the centre still responds considering the tinder dry conditions building in the backcountry. “A lot of the fires are spot fires right now but our crews go out and put them out right away,” she said. The closest fires to the Greater

Trail region were a pair of lightning caused spot fires near Salmo—on Dodge Creek Forest Service Road and on Baird Creek—but one is considered extinguished while the municipal fire department in Salmo handled the other. Currently there is only one active fire larger than 10 hectares in the entire region. The lightning caused Skimmerhorn fire, located 18 kilometres southeast of Creston, is the region’s biggest blaze at 25 ha. Using 34 firefighters and four helicopters, the fire is located in difficult, steep terrain. Shaughnessy said this was not an interface fire. “No communities or structures are threatened, however, the fire is highly visible to surrounding communities,” she said.

There have only been three other fires this year in the Southeast Fire Centre region bigger than 10 ha., including three fires now doused: Oxbow Birdstone pasture (75 ha.); Dutch Creek (53.3 ha.); and Brown Creek (14.5 ha.). The Southeast has been relatively unscathed this year by fire, having the second lowest total fires to date of 68 (northwest was 61). Kamloops has the most with 247. However, the Southeast has had 197 ha. burned to date, fourth highest out of the six provincial fire centres but far behind Prince George’s 18,169 ha. for the most hectares burned. Lightning is in the forecast for evenings for the rest of the week, said Shaughnessy, so the spot fire reaction could continue for a few more days.

CASTLEGAR

Pot plants found in community garden BY TIMES STAFF Call it a growing concern. An anonymous caller reported two marijuana plants growing beside tomato plants in Castlegar’s Community Garden on the August long weekend. Two healthy marijuana plants—roughly three feet high—were seized by the RCMP on Aug. 3 when they were spotted by a local resident in the vibrant community garden. The marijuana plants were destroyed— but the tomato plants were spared—and police remain uncertain whether it was a prank or plot. There are currently no suspects. In keeping with the vegetation beat, RCMP responded to a complaint of mischief at the Twin Rivers Elementary School when eight trees newly planted at the rear of the school had been uprooted. “This is disturbing as it is the fourth time that this has happened in a two-day period,” said RCMP Cpl. Debbie Postnikoff in a press release. “The trees get replanted only to be uprooted again by the culprit(s).” The trees are now in poor condition and it is unlikely they will survive. Should anyone have any information on the two files, they are urged to contact the Castlegar RCMP at 250-365-7721 or Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (7477).

It won’t happen in time for the provincial election next spring, but the B.C. government is moving ahead with Premier Christy Clark’s pledge to examine online voting at the local and provincial level. Some municipalities have suggested modernizing elections to make voting more convenient, and reverse the recent trend to lower voter participation. Clark proposed the idea during last year’s B.C. Liberal leadership campaign. Justice Minister Shirley Bond announced Thursday that she has asked Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer

mend changes to the Election Act that would permit online voting. Independent experts on Internet security and electoral administration will be asked to serve on a committee chaired by Archer, with a first meeting expected by October. Elections BC already has online voter registration, as well as data sharing with the federal voters’ list, ICBC and the B.C. Vital Statistics Agency to keep the voters’ list up to date. Western said online voting has been used in Halifax and Markham, Ont., but has not yet been tried at the provincial or federal level in Canada.

Cops lose bid to stop investigation THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - Two Vancouver police officers have lost their attempt to block an external investigation into allegations they were neglectful when they decided not to warn a pregnant woman her life was in danger in the days before she was murdered. Det. Const. Craig Bentley and Staff Sgt. John Grywinski were working on the region’s integrated gang task force in 2005 when Bentley received a tip that someone was plotting to kill 21-year-old Tasha Rosette.

Bentley told Grywinski, his supervisor, but the pair decided not to warn Rosette, who was found stabbed to death in her apartment in Surrey, B.C., five days later. Rosette’s boyfriend, Amjad Khan, who was named in the tip, and his accomplice Naim Mohammed Saghir were later convicted of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, though a new trial was ordered last year on appeal. The Vancouver Police Department dismissed complaints about the officers’ conduct after an external investigation by the RCMP, but the province’s police complaints commissioner ordered an external force take a second look at the case. Bentley and Grywinski asked the B.C. Supreme Court to stop that renewed investigation, but the court rejected their case in a ruling issued this week.

Mary Crowley, Executive Director of the Ocean Voyages Institute, speaks to reporters on the institute’s ship Kaisei in Richmond this week.

Institute hopes tsunami debris shines light on growing ocean garbage THE CANADIAN PRESS RICHMOND, B.C. A U.S.-based environmental group is using the ongoing focus about what to do with the floating wreckage from last year’s Japanese tsunami to highlight the much larger issue of debris in the world’s oceans. The Ocean Voyages Institute recently completed a trip off the North American coast as it sailed from San Francisco to British Columbia, where it is scheduled to attend a maritime festival in Richmond, south of Vancouver, this weekend. The group’s ship, a 46-metre, twin-masted sailing vessel named the Kaisei, encountered debris from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami roughly 500 kilometres off the coast of Oregon and

Washington state, said Mary Crowley, who founded the Ocean Voyages Institute. Crowley, who wasn’t on the ship for the most recent voyage, said the Kaisei found part of a dock and other smaller debris that experts on board believed were swept into the ocean by the tsunami. She said the tsunami debris poses a significant risk to the Pacific Ocean and the animals that inhabit it, but she noted it pales in comparison to the vast amount of debris much of it floating plastic garbage - already in the world’s oceans. “The tsunami debris adds this whole other element of knowing where it all went into the ocean and where it’s going and how it’s spreading, but in fact every day, all over the Pacific basin, debris is

going into the ocean,” Crowley told reporters Wednesday. “So the tsunami debris shows us graphically what’s happening.” Specifically, she pointed to a massive field of floating plastic often referred to as the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch,” which is believed to make up an area roughly the size of Texas. The “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” is located between Hawaii and California in the northern Pacific Ocean, where millions of small bits of plastic have gathered in a vortex of ocean currents known as a gyre. Some of the debris from the tsunami is expected to join the garbage patch. Crowley said her group has visited the area, most recently in 2009 and 2010, when the Kaisei found that sea life including fish and jellyfish were eating the plastic debris. She said governments around the world aren’t doing enough to find ways to clean up that debris field, nor are they taking adequate steps to prevent plastic from entering the ocean in the first place. “I think that all governments need to step up and try to keep debris out of the ocean, and contribute to clean up efforts,” she said.

Groups say government ignoring them in pipeline safety review has received a letter from the groups, but no decisions on a meeting would be made until the fall. The organizations, including Greenpeace Canada and the Council of Canadians, say the scope of the review is too narrow. They are also concerned that the Energy Resources Conservation Board will be involved in the process. Mike Hudema said the board, with its mandate to regulate the development of Alberta’s energy resources, is too close to the government and is mistrusted by some people in rural areas. He said there are also concerns about the board’s ability to adequately inspect and monitor pipelines and ensure spills are properly cleaned up.

Stowaway cat back home WINNIPEG - A curious cat named Bandit is back home in Victoria after hitching a ride in a moving van that took him 2,500 kilometres away to Winnipeg. The Gunderson family moved to Manitoba last week from the B.C. capital. The driver of their moving truck found the kitty stowaway in a compartment underneath the trailer. Bandit survived the three day journey with no food or water. The Gundersons contacted the Winnipeg Humane Society and were connected with cat rescuer Claudia Allen, who posted Bandit’s story on the Internet. His owners saw the report and arrange-

ments were made for Bandit to come home - by plane this time. It turns out a catloving Winnipeg couple are friends with the people who live next

THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - Groups that pushed for a review of pipeline safety in Alberta say Premier Alison Redford’s government is shutting them out. “I find it pretty disappointing that the Alberta government can find time to meet with the oil industry but not any of the 54 groups that demanded this review,� Don Bester, president of the Alberta Surface Rights Group, said Wednesday. Last month, the province said an independent audit is to focus on how pipeline safety is managed. It is also to look at the safety of pipelines that cross waterways and how the province responds to spills. The review was announced following three pipeline-related oil spills in the province. Redford’s office said the premier

can’t agree to support a bill they haven’t seen. The Liberals say it’s premature to talk about declaring any legislation to impose a deal on teachers a confidence motion, meaning its defeat would automatically lead to an election. Bryan Evans, associate professor of politics at Ryerson University in Toronto, expects the teachers will reach some sort of deal to avoid the need for legislation in the first place. Teachers know they’ve have had it pretty good under the Liberals, he added. “I’m not sure when they begin looking at the larger context if they want to gamble everything on a possible change in government and a government that they all recognize will not be anywhere near so friendly,� Evans said.

T

he latest newsletter from MP Alex Atamanenko urges his constituents to oppose what he views as the potential for environmental and economic Armageddon if Enbridge is allowed to build its proposed oil pipeline across northern British Columbia. He warns about the shipment of “raw bitumen” in “supertankers as big as the Eiffel Tower,” “inevitable” spills that, even if “modest” would “decimate this fragile coastline for decades,” and the too-great risk of pushing a pipeline through “mountainous avalanche territory.” All of this puts at risk “tens of thousands of jobs” in tourism and fishing. Pheew! It’s hard to believe that the top oil nations worldwide, including Canada, produce more than 50 million barrels of the black gooey stuff daily that has to be pumped, trucked, tankered and otherwise moved to markets, and yet we have not thus far all perished. Obviously, British Columbia is more rugged than the Arabian

Peninsula and the weather in the Pacific Northwest is a bit testier than that of the Straight of Hormuz. But ,then again, region of the oil sheiks does have its 12,000 foot peaks and occasional gales, while British Columbia doesn’t have terrorists – unless you count the radical vegans who occasionally break into labs and free the rats and rabbits. There is a risk to building pipelines across British Columbia and a way to compensate the province for this needs to be found within the Canadian constitutional framework that protects the inter-provincial transport of goods. Provincial and local property taxes on oil pipelines, as opposed to less environmentally-risky natural gas lines, is a good place to start. But, surely the risk can be managed with the double-hulled tankers that were not much in use when the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Alaska, extraheavily re-inforced pipe in riparian and slide areas, and fibre-optic monitoring systems that can quickly identify leaks and shut off the flow of oil.

These are among the many issues that have to be looked at during regulatory hearings before a decision is made on whether the pipeline should be built. The same goes for Kinder Morgan’s desire to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline and significantly expand oil shipments from the Port of Vancouver. Atamanenko worries that “tens of thousands” of jobs are imperiled by Enbridge’s project. Unemployed Northern British Columbians might like to know where these opportunities are before they have to depart for the very apparent openings in the Alberta oil patch. Not having an export outlet other than into the

glutted U.S. Midwest is costing Canadian oil producers up to $25 a barrel these days. That is a lot of money that could be used for exploration and development in Canada, and to create the related high-paying jobs in the oil fields and the office towers and factories of Calgary and other Canadian cities. If British Columbia isn’t the best route, then let’s find a way to ship the oil east and stop hemorrhaging money to the United States. ••• Trying to watch the Olympics as a Shaw Cable subscriber has been most annoying as the company dos not carry a high definition CTV channel in the West Kootenay. Shaw shuffled its HD channels this week and in the process added duplicates of some of the endless array of sports channels it offers in this format. These are the networks that provide tiresome reruns of every home run hit the night before and snooze fests involving people who can barely talk let alone read dissecting the latest trade or player

signing. But there is still no HD listing for CTV, which is the Canadian broadcaster for the 2012 Summer Olympics and one of this country’s two premiere networks (a relative concept when considering commercial television). There is Olympic coverage in HD on some of those sports networks, but the coverage is spotty. As I write, the Canadian women’s soccer team is playing France for the bronze medal and it is not available in high def. An email to Shaw’s customer service desk elicited the standard “we’re working on it,” with an addendum that amounted to: oh, by the way, you guys in the sticks are more costly to service, so what can you expect. My expectation is that, two years after BCTV launched in high definition, it is time Shaw paused its standard activity – scheming about how it can raise our bills yet again – and added this channel to its basic HD listings.

Greenland, but there is zero likelihood of a war between Canada and the United States or Denmark (which is responsible for Greenland’s defence). In the Bering Strait, there is a treaty defining the seabed boundary between the United States and Russia, signed in the dying days of the Soviet Union, but the Russian Duma has refused to ratify it. However, the legal uncertainty caused by the dispute is likelier to deter future investment in drilling there than to lead to war. And then there was the seabed boundary dispute between Norway and Russia in the Barents Sea, which led Norway to double the size of its navy over the past decade. But last year the two countries signed an agreement dividing the disputed area right down the middle and providing for joint exploitation of its resources. So no war between NATO (of which Norway is a member) and the Russian Federation. Which leaves the fish, and it’s hard to have a war over fish. The danger is rather that the world’s fishing fleets will crowd in and clean the fish out, as they are currently doing in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. If the countries with Arctic coastlines want to preserve this resource, they can only do so by creating an international body to regulate the fishing. And they will have to let other countries fish there too, with agreed catch limits, since it is mostly international waters. They will be driven to cooperate, in their own interests. So no war over the Arctic. All we have to worry about now is the fact that the ice IS melting, which will speed global warming (because open water absorbs far more heat from the Sun than highly reflective ice), and ultimately melt the Greenland icecap and raise sea levels worldwide by seven metres (23 ft). But that’s a problem for another day. Gwynne Dyer is a Londonbased independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

benefits, without having to work nearly as long. The system treats new Canadians, young people and part-time workers, heavily concentrated in places such as Hamilton, a lot less generously. They may get little or no EI when they’re out of work. In Ontario, fewer than 40 per cent of unemployed workers receive EI benefits. In Newfoundland, nearly all do. The system needs redesign, not tinkering. But to be fair, the Harper gov-

ernment did a good thing this week announcing that Canadian parents caring for critically ill children will be eligible for up to 35 weeks of special benefits. Only families living with this awful situation truly understand how traumatizing and lifechanging it can be. This change would offer support to mitigate some of the stress, pain and anxiety families endure. It’s the least we can do.

PEOPLE TRIBAL TIME OUT

PYOTR FOMENKO

Russian director founded Moscow theatre THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW - Pyotr Fomenko, a renowned Russian stage director who founded one of Moscow’s leading theatres, has died. He was 80. Fomenko, who staged more than 60 plays in Russian and foreign theatres during his career, died Thursday in Moscow, his theatre said. The cause of death wasn’t immediately known. Fomenko began his career as an actor in 1958. He became a director in the 1960s, staging performances at several Moscow theatres. Some of his productions were banned by Soviet authorities for being politically provocative. He moved to then-Soviet Georgia and then to Leningrad in the 1970s, eventually taking the helm of the Leningrad Comedy Theater in the 1970s, but lost the job in 1981 after another fallout with authorities. In 1993 Fomenko founded his own theatre, building a troupe from students at Moscow’s theatre academy, where he also worked as a teacher. The Pyotr Fomenko Workshop Theater quickly became popular thanks to his innovative approach to works by Shakespeare, Chekhov and other classics. The company performed at different Moscow locations before finally moving into its own quarters in 2000. He was highly regarded by colleagues, who admired his vision and wit and praised him as a pioneer who took Russian theatre to a new level. Even with his achievements, Fomenko said that he saw failure as a challenge and valued it more than success. “A failure is sometimes more useful and more important both as a survival test and a source of feeling for drama,” he said.

Woman down 180 pounds and counting BY PETER RUSLAND Cowichan News Leader Pictorial

Catherine Dunstan was sick of being fat. At 388 pounds in June 2011, her mobility was curbed by a 2004 car accident, and she faced knee replacement. Gastric surgery was also being contemplated to get Dunstan’s weight down. She’d tried pills, various plans, diets and other weight-loss methods. Then Dunstan discovered ketosis, a way of burning fat, instead of sugar from carbohydrates, for energy. “Ketosis is a state of metabolism of the human body,” the 51-year-old dog trainer and horse owner said. “It’s been around a long time but no doctor told me about it — it was all ‘diet and exercise.’” But a friend was touting costly packaged foods along the premise of ketosis, and Dunstan explained

how she forged her own key to unlocking weight loss by eating local foods. “I researched, and read food labels, and looked at health-food products to fit the parameters of things I’d enjoy ingesting. “I didn’t want to eat cardboard, and I’m a great cook.” “I have the disease of obesity but I was getting the information that actually worked.” And how. “In the first three months I lost 50 pounds, and blew myself away. I thought, ‘Holy crap, it works.’ “Nothing else worked, except this. Today I’m down 185 pounds to 203 today, from 388 pounds.” Getting those results basically meant tossing carbs that produce sugar, and replacing them with a low-carb diet and protein. For Dunstan, fruit, dairy, potatoes, chocolate, processed foods, grains, breads, cereals, and alcohol are gone.

PETER W. RUSLAND PHOTO

Catherine Dunstan was 388 pounds a little more than a year ago.

“No booze; it’s straight sugar — it’s a killer.” They’ve been replaced by various high-fibre vegetables, protein drinks for breakfast, plus various unprocessed meats, fish and foul. Coffee, tea, eggs, some hard cheeses, and olive oil and grape-seed oil for cooking, are OK too. Dunstan also takes a daily multi-vitamin, calcium and phosphorus supplements and vitamin D, plus fibre-like Metamusil. “I can eat white mushrooms, spinach, salad greens, cauliflower, red peppers, broccoli, celery, endive, zucchini, and I found a recipe for lowcarb bread.” The mother of two also found nutritional scales to give her the picture about ketosis foods that can include almonds, pistachios, and tofu. “I’m always looking for (replacement) products. “I didn’t want to feel deprived,” she said, not-

ing kelp and soy pasta, and many other nutritious foods, are sold at the Duncan Garage Market, Thrifty’s and elsewhere. “Many things in regular grocery stores can replace these (carb-based) things, even if you’re traveling.” Used in a balanced fashion, she said, ketosis is very healthy. “The first thing I recommend is getting your doctor on board. Ketosis is a natural way to change your metabolism. “I’m way healthier than I was in June 1, 2011,” she said, working with a ferrier at her home. “I breathe and sleep better, and I’m not facing surgery; my cholesterol is better. I’d liked to have known about ketosis a long time ago.” Dunstan’s next goal is 150 pounds to snub society’s myths about overweight folks. “Our culture thinks if you’re fat, you’re just lazy with no self control.”

Living as a Dual Citizen The Olympics are making life a bit more complicated than usual in our house. We are British citizens living in Canada, and with the intention of soon becoming Canadian citizens as well. So who do we support, Canada or Great Britian? Most of the time it’s not an issue, as most of the time Canada and GB are not in direct competition. But occasionally, as for example today (Friday, August 3)) when the women’s soccer is being played - we get Canada vs GB. The solution so far seems to be that I support one side, and my wife supports the other. That way someone gets to feel happy, but I can feel our attitudes changing year by year. Those of us who are religious are dual citizens too. We are members of our national community, and we are also members of our religion. Both the country and the religion make demands of us. Both the country and the religion have cultural norms and values and lifestyles. Most of the time these do not conflict. But sometimes they do conflict and life gets complicated. The easy thing to do is to make one of them fit the other, either by bending the religion til it fits the country, or by bending the country til it fits the religion. You could argue that Christianity in North America has often been adjusted to fit with our culture, and that the rules of Arab states have been shaped by Islam. The challenge is to be both a citizen of Canada and a faithful member of your religion. Attitudes to war, money, and even the purpose of life can vary significantly. And sometimes you need to stop and think, “Which do I value more�. It is only when we are faced with such a conflict that we truly discover which side we are more committed to. Jesus polarized the question, as he often did. He said that no-one can serve two masters. At some point there is a choice to be made...

Park ready for play If you build it, will they come? BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

After six years of toil, a Greater Trail man’s ‘Field of Dreams’ has become a reality, now he just needs the support of the community to fully realize its potential. John Foglia with the aid of a few key partners transformed the rough expanse of land at Kiwanis Beaver Creek Park into a lush green field that he intends to use as a soccer pitch for a Seven Aside Soccer tournament Sept. 1-4. The tournament is divided into an over-40 division and an open division with modified rules to accommodate the limited size of the field and numbers. Foglia says he has a couple teams committed but would like to see at least 12 clubs hit the pitch for the inaugural kick off. Foglia recognized the possibilities for the land six years ago, and with some generous funding from Area A, help from Impact excavator Jim Hall, and a smattering of volunteers, fill was brought in, the land was leveled, packed, soiled and seeded, and now sits as an added enhancement to the full facilities and campground already available at the Kiwanis Park. Each year the field progressed slowly but surely: from rocks and dirt, to sand, then soil and now grass. “There was probably 200 loads of fill that Jimmy Hall brought in and leveled it off, said Foglia. “He donated the time, the trucks, everything.” Foglia also put in countless hours and close to $12,000 of his own money invested into the project. Assistance from the City of Trail, local business, and volunteers has been luke warm at best and non-existent at its worst, says Foglia. “If I figure out my time and the money I got into it, I’m probably around 40-50 grand, and the city is telling you to piss off, what kind of BS is that.”

JIM BAILEY PHOTO LEFT, JOHN FOGLIA TOP AND ABOVE

The various stages of the field at Beaver Creek Park. Spearheaded by John Foglia of Trail the field will now host the inaugural Seven Aside Soccer tournament Sept. 1. Despite the lack of support, Foglia envisions the economic benefits the field can bring. “I go to tournaments in the Okanagan for the last 35 years, and the amount of teams that come in is beyond comprehension . . . I’m not doing this for me, I’m 66 years old, I’m not going to be playing soccer anymore . . . but for whatever reason, I can’t seem to get any support. They talk about the downtown revitalization, this is the stuff that brings people into town.’” The addition of the field to the location is ideal with the camping and full facilities, the covered picnic area, the kids playground and of course the mighty Columbia River. The JF Auto owner is now hoping to get funding to build a maintenance shed for lawn-care equipment. So far he

hasn’t had much luck getting a response. But it’s not just about the soccer tournament, he says. The field can now be used for open-air concerts and group picnics, and for events like the Kiwanis Canada Day celebration. “This is a little gold mine if anybody knew how to work it. I’m not doing this to make money, I want this town to recognize what the hell we have here.” The field has been built, now Foglia hopes people will indeed come to see it, to play or picnic, but most of all enjoy it. The deadline for registration for the Seven Aside Soccer tournament is Aug. 15. Entry fee is $200 per team. Call 2311173 or 368-3003 to register.

BASEBALL

Phillies pitching prospect moving on Philladelphia throw a change up at pitcher Kissock BY TIMES STAFF Fruitvale’s Chris Kissock was released Friday by the Philadelphia Phillies. It was a disappointing start to the season for the Fruitvale native, especially after finishing up last season on such a high note. Kissock was an integral part of Team Canada’s incredible run, winning a gold

medal at the Pan Am Games and a bronze at the IBAF World Cup. The lanky right hander shut down Team Mexico in the late innings of the semifinal to advance to the final against the U.S. in the Pan Ams. Kissock spent four years in the Phillies organization, with most of his time spent with the ‘AA’ Reading Phillies. At the start of this year the former Trail Smoke Eater drastically changed his delivery and became a submarine pitcher at the

suggestion of his coaches. “This is a new year for me,” Kissock told the Canadian Baseball network in late June. “I threw overhand and this year they decided to drop me down to be a sidearm pitcher. I’ve never done it in my life before.” It was a major tinker with his mechanics, and going from an over-the-top thrower to a sidearm delivery with the new slot between his hip and his knee was risky, admitted Kissock. It resulted in an inter-

costal rib injury that sidelined him for six weeks. In the end, the move to the sidearm and extended stint on the disabled list, the first of his career, didn’t help Kissock physically or mentally. The reliever came back from injury with the ‘A-plus’ Clearwater Threshers where he pitched in 11 games. In 14 innings on the mound Kissock gave up 31 hits and 15 earned runs while striking out 8, for a 9.64 ERA before being released.

Tonya Verbeek of Canada won silver as she bowed to three-time Olympic champion Saori Yoshida of Japan (in blue) during their 55-kg women’s freestyle wrestling competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Thursday.

Verbeek finds silver lining LONDON - Canada’s Tonya Verbeek could not prevent Saori Yoshida from winning her third straight Olympic wrestling title. Verbeek will go home with a silver medal after losing to the Japanese star in the 55-kilogram final at the London Games. The Canadian has reached the Olympic podium at the last three

Games but has yet to win gold. Verbeek, from Thorold, Ont., is winless in nine career meetings against Yoshida. Verbeek won Olympic bronze in Beijing four years ago and took the silver at the 2004 Games in Athens. The other Canadian in action, Calgary’s Leah Callahan, lost her opening bout in the 72-kilo division.

Canada finds solace in bronze THE CANADIAN PRESS LONDON - Winning bronze never felt so good. Diana Matheson scored in the 92nd minute as Canada’s women’s soccer team beat France 1-0 in the bronze-medal game at the London Olympics on Thursday. After being forced to play defence for most of the second half, Canada capitalized on a rare opportunity when Matheson’s shot off a deflection beat goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi and stunned the French. “It feels amazing. It feels unreal, it feels like a dream,” said Matheson. The bronze is Canada’s first Summer Games medal in a trad-

itional team sport since winning silver in men’s basketball in 1936. The result should help Canada recover from an emotional 4-3 loss to the United States in a semifinal marred by controversial officiating. France, which ousted Canada from last year’s Women’s World Cup in a dominating 4-0 performance, controlled play with several quality chances in the second half including shots that hit the crossbar and the post. But Matheson, a five-foot midfielder from Oakville, Ont., scored to lift Canada onto the podium and give the team something to build on ahead of 2015 when it hosts the Women’s World

Cup. At Wembley, the United States women’s football team won its third consecutive Olympic gold, beating Japan 2-1 to avenge its defeat on penalty kicks to the same team at last year’s World Cup. The U.S. victory came in front of a crowd of 80,203, the largest ever to see a women’s football game at the Olympics. Elsewhere at the Olympics: - Montreal diver Meaghan Benfeito was second overall in the women’s 10-metre platform semifinals. She was joined in the final later Thursday by teammate Roseline Filion of Laval, Que., who was eighth overall.

No obligation to pay for son’s girlfriend’s birth control Dear Annie: My husband and I are the parents of a 15-yearold boy. “Will” is a good student. He has been in a friendly relationship with a 15-year-old girl, and it has become serious. They have had sex on two different occasions, and Will used a condom both times. There was a brief pregnancy scare, and the girl was so concerned that she told her parents about her predicament. Now her father wants us to pay for her birth control pills. I don’t know what to say about this. I don’t know what type of insurance they have. And I think putting her on the pill is saying, “Great, have sex.” And who knows whether she will have partners other than my son. Is he responsible for her birth control? What should I do? -His Mom Dear Mom: It’s a good sign that your son feels comfortable discussing his sex life with

you, but it is unfair to believe that a girl on birth control pills is going to be more promiscuous than a boy using condoms. And while we aren’t crazy about 15-year-olds having sex, once they start, they aren’t likely to stop. You should be relieved that both kids are being responsible about using protection to prevent not only pregnancy, but also sexually transmitted diseases. That said, you are not obligated to pay for his girlfriend’s choice of birth control. He should continue to use condoms. Her body belongs to her. Dear Annie: My

62-year-old husband and I have been married for 25 years. For the past 11, he has owned a small yet profitable bar. While he doesn’t do much hands-on work anymore, he still supervises the bartenders and the business. Here’s the problem. My husband drives home drunk at least once a week. There are taxi services that easily could pick him up and return him the next day, but he prefers to drive himself. I have threatened to leave. I’ve threatened to toss his belongings in the yard. I’ve even threatened to call the cops. But I haven’t done any of those things, and he knows my threats are empty. Most of the time, he denies that he was drunk, and we go silent for a few days, not speaking at all. I have stressed what he is putting at risk. It’s his job to prevent this with his customers, yet he’s somehow above it all. Last night was

the last straw. Since it’s never a good idea to talk to drunk people, I let him know I was angry and then went to bed. He is setting a horrible example for our 21-year-old son. Any suggestions? -- The Drunk’s Wife Dear Wife: You both are setting a horrible example. As long as there are no consequences for his behavior, your husband will continue to drive drunk. Please don’t wait for the consequences to be deadly. Follow through on some of those threats, particularly the one about calling the police. He may become angry, but you could be saving his life, as well as the lives of other drivers. Also contact Al-Anon (alanon.alateen.org) and get some emotional support. Dear Annie: As a cancer survivor, I would like to thank you for your wonderful response to “Clueless on Cancer Etiquette.”

I’d like to add two more suggestions: First, please don’t comment on how people look. Just say, “It’s good to see you.” And finally, I was reluctant to make requests when people said, “What can I do for you?” Instead, please

offer choices such as: “I want to wash your car, work in your yard, bring a home-cooked meal or clean house while you are at the doctor’s. Which do you prefer?” One neighbor brought easy, quick meals and just dropped

them off. Actually, she rang the doorbell and left. It was the sweetest thing. -- K. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Saturday, Aug. 11, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel unusually upbeat and optimistic today. In fact, you believe that you can do anything! Enjoy all relations with others, especially siblings and neighbors. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is an excellent day for business and commerce. You feel very optimistic about something. If shopping, be careful you don’t overextend yourself or go overboard. (It’s easy to do.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a rare event when the Moon is in your sign lined up with Jupiter! Naturally, you’re full of good feelings. You feel self-confident and particularly generous to everyone. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An experience in a group setting might occur today that makes you feel more spiritual or more in tune with

your beliefs. It certainly gives you a good feeling in your tummy and makes you feel good about yourself. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Relations with female friends are particularly positive today. You might be able to help someone, or vice versa; someone might help you. It’s all good. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It doesn’t get much better than this! You make a fabulous impression on others today, but not only that -details of your private life are now public, and everyone is impressed. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Travel opportunities abound! Make plans to go somewhere or to get further education or training somehow. This is all in the palm of your hand. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Keep your pockets open,

because gifts, goodies and favors from others can come your way today. Don’t look for attached strings, just say, “Thank you.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your dealings with members of the general public will be extremely positive today. In addition, relations with partners and close friends will be equally warm and friendly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This can be a wonderful day at work, especially in terms of working with groups. Pleasant, work-related travel might please you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a fabulous day to party! Accept all invitations. Watch sports, grab a movie or meet friends for good food and drink, because this is a fun-loving day.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Entertaining at home will please everyone today, so invite the gang over for pizza and beer! This is also good day to explore real-estate opportunities. Keep your eyes open. YOU BORN TODAY You have a strong desire to get to the bottom of things and reveal the truth. In fact, some of you are whistleblowers. You have insight into human

CLASSIFIEDS

SUNDAY/MONDAY HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Sunday, Aug. 12, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day for serious thinking, especially in terms of making long-range plans for the future. Nevertheless, best to postpone your final decision until tomorrow. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) When it comes to financial matters today, you feel prudent and thrifty. You’ll be looking for ways to cut costs. In turn, if shopping, you will only buy long-lasting, practical items. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Discussions with someone older and more experienced might benefit you today. Possibly, you are the wise sage dispensing advice to someone younger. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be patient today, especially with details that you are researching. Your powers of concentration are pretty good even though your focus is constantly changing.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Group discussions, especially with people who are older or more experienced, might benefit you today. Listen to what is offered, and sleep on these ideas. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You’re giving a lot of thought to your future direction in life. While today is a good day to think about this, it’s not a good day to make a final decision. Wait until tomorrow. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today you might see the need for further education or training in some aspect of your life. Or you might see the benefit in talking to someone who knows more than you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Postpone important decisions about shared property, taxes and debt today, even though you have the willingness and concentration to plow through these red-tape details. Just get your ducks in a row.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A partner or close friend might have wise, practical advice for you. This advice might even affect your future goals. Listen, but do not act on your ideas until tomorrow. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Keep to your routine work today. Fortunately, you have the energy to slog along doing what needs to be done. Postpone decisions until tomorrow. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Sit down with others to discuss the care and education of children today. People are in a responsible frame of mind, but they could still be out in left field. Just fill your databank. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Family discussions will focus on practical matters today. Nevertheless, if an important decision must be made, postpone it until tomorrow. YOU BORN TODAY You have a natural sense of the-

ater and are quick to grasp the big picture. You live a busy life. You believe in the excellence of your craft; you also value tradition and timehonored ways of doing things. You take charge when you encounter any group, but you can do it gracefully. In your year ahead, you will learn something important to you. Birthdate of: William Goldman, screenwriter, Cecil B. DeMille, film director; Anthony Swofford, writer. For Monday, Aug. 13, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Fasten your seatbelts and be up for anything today, because it’s a changing landscape. Surprise company might drop by at home. (Small appliances also might break down.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Although this is a pleasant, easygoing day talking to others, it’s also an accident-prone day for your sign. Therefore, be mindful of everything you say and do. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be feeling flush and ready to spend your money today. Nevertheless, count your change and keep your receipts. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is the charming day to

talk to others. You are in your element. However, at some point, a mild explosion or outburst could put you at odds with others. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today is a mixed bag. In one way, it’s breezy and social. But in another way, you feel tense, nervous and even irritable with someone. Just coast. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Relations with others will be a roller coaster today. One moment everything is sweet and cooperative, and the next moment, people are barking at each other! What happened? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don’t quit your day job today. You feel confident; this is for sure. Nevertheless, don’t make important decisions in a flippant, rash way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans can be sweet and promising today; nevertheless, they will likely be delayed, rescheduled or canceled. (Whaaat?) A similar erratic influence affects higher education, medicine and the law. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone might offer something to you or give you something today, and then in the next breath, the deal is canceled. (This is just one possibility.) Everything is topsy-

SATURDAY’S CROSSWORD

turvy today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) On the whole, relations with close friends are warm and friendly today; nevertheless, at some point, a disagreement could break out. Just ride it out as best you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a good day at work; however, equipment breakdowns and computer crashes are likely. Something unpredictable will make your day take a detour, that’s for sure. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a fun-loving, romantic day; however, it’s an accident-prone day for your kids if you are a parent. Be extra vigilant. YOU BORN TODAY Because you have the courage of your convictions, obstacles don’t deter you. Your challenges simply make you stronger. And when you become strong, you want to help those who aren’t as strong. You will rebel against oppression, and you know how to wait for what you want. Good news! Your year ahead could be one of the most powerful years of your life. Birthdate of: Alfred Hitchcock, film director; Annie Oakley, sharpshooter/ early feminist; Midori Ito, figure skater.

LOCAL WATER LOGGED

Two new Trail businesses open doors BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

If you felt a buzz in the air around business in Greater Trail today you would be right. Two businesses hung out the “Open� shingle in Trail on Friday, with Valley Firearms relocating to 1281 Bay Ave. (next to Sears), and Trail Brewing popping the cap on their new business at 1672 Second Ave. (across from Safeway). Both businesses held their openings in conjunction with in-store specials to entice people into their new shops. John Urquhart, owner of Valley Firearms, had specials on scopes and binoculars. Petri Raito and Ryan Arnaud, the owners of Trail Brewing, were promoting their Kegerators, a mini-fridge fully equipped with pouring taps and trays to catch any spills. Each keg holds five gallons (19 litres), the equivalent of 55 bottles of beer. Trail Brewery will be open from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. from Monday to Saturday. For more information, visit trailbrewing.com. You can reach Valley Firearms at 250-3642242 or toll free at 866-785-2246.

A large log boom near the Gyro Park boat launch was left high and dry by the receding Columbia River. Calls to the City of Trail and Zellstoff Celgar in Castlegar failed to provide an answer to the fate of the valuable load of lumber.
