Survey will help develop plan for Bailey theatre
BEAVER VALLEY CITIZENS OF THE YEAR
BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
Trail likes country music, comedy and children programming, according to feedback from a survey in circulation that looks at the future of the Charles Bailey Theatre. Theatre front-house manager Nadine Tremblay is in the midst of collecting information from Greater Trail residents, patrons, business owners and the general public before moving forward with a business plan for the 764-seat facility in Trail. The plan will recommend how the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) can efficiently run its theatre, with an ultimate goal of increasing the number of acts and patrons. “The theatre is totally fine, in principle it's a business that's up and running,” said Tremblay. “But even just going to Nelson, a community really close by, they use their theatre six days a week almost all year so right there I think, 'Why aren't we doing that? Why are we only open four times a month?' Though the survey was just released Thursday, Tremblay said over 100 have been filled out. The questionnaire that collects information from recipients as well as ideas, can be found online at the Trail and District Arts Council website (www.trail-arts.com) or at the theatre box office (Monday through Friday from noon-4 p.m.). Volunteers are also handing the survey out, with initial efforts done at Ferraro Foods this past weekend and another round at Waneta Plaza this Saturday. This is in addition to a community consultation scheduled for the end of the month. Tremblay, an artist herself, has also toured theatres across the province to learn what other places are doing to attract customers and performers. Beyond making a theatre aesthetically pleasing and a place that inspires artists, she has already collected a number of her own ideas for the facility that she calls “under utilized.” The Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre has a separate entity within the theatre that acts like an in-house promoter, seeking out shows that would suit the community, she said. “They choose the artist, they hire that artist and they take the big risk at the end of the day,” she added, noting that the Charles Bailey doesn't necessarily have its own promoter. It works with promoters — the Trail Society of the Performing Arts being its most consistent customer. See DISTRICT, Page 3

A group of residents has been recognized as Beaver Valley’s 2013 Citizens of the Year. From the left; Janice Partridge, Sharon Ewings, Sera Wilcox, Rhonda van Tent, Corrine Grayson, and Holly Gordon are some of the members of the Beaver Valley Blooming Society. The group has been working for years to enhance the beauty of the Fruitvale area.
Group saluted for beautifying the Valley change.” The award will be presented to the group on Friday night at 7 p.m. in the Beaver Valley Curling Club. The dedicated core group of volunteers, some six to 10 Fruitvale residents, meet every Tuesday from mid-May to the end of July, each contributing around two hours per week throughout the spring and summer. Of course, this doesn’t include the occasional Sunday or time spent fundraising to help pay for the improvements they bring to the community. The group has been working together since 2005 to enhance the area and raise community participation. “I’m proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish,” said committee member Lindsay Partridge. “I think it’s raised the level of awareness of the whole community, there are a lot of people who care more now.”
Citizen of the Year presentation set for Friday night at the Beaver Valley Curling Club BY ART HARRISON Times Staff
In a somewhat unexpected move the Beaver Valley Citizen of the Year committee threw out the rule book and instead of selecting a single dedicated citizen to honour they chose a whole group of them. The many people involved in the Beaver Valley Blooming Society were a perfect selection for the 2013 award. “If you look at the Fruitvale area, you can see the beautification that has happened over the years,” said Grace Terness, Beaver Valley Citizen of the Year committee member. “And we really wanted to recognize the people responsible for the
Initially the group was primarily focussed on cleaning up the downtown core of Fruitvale and improving the tidiness and attractiveness of the area. But this quickly moved on to more project-oriented work and in 2006 and 2007, the group began developing the downtown gardens and started the Hanging Basket Donation program. In 2008 and 2009 the group spearheaded a mural project for the side of the Liberty Foods building, began developing more permanent gardens in the downtown core, tree planting, and had a community bulletin board installed. Since then the group has continued developing the downtown gardens, installing irrigation systems, concrete planters, enhancing and improving signage around the community, and developing a Heritage Walk.

Making a splinter bid
S
plinter: This is a double jump shift over partner’s major opening. Three spades over one heart and four-level new suits are splinter bids. It shows a hand with four card support, an good opening of 13 plus points and a singleton or void in the suit bid. A more advanced bid would be limiting the above 13 plus warren range to 13 to 15 points. With 15 plus, one would Play Bridge take further action if partner signed off in four of the major. However, it is much better to investigate slam at lower levels. People may use lower point ranges and these are called mini-splinters. If a bid of four clubs over one spade is a splinter (singleton or void) with opening points then a bid of three clubs is a splinter with limit raise points. Jacoby two notrump takes care of the hands that are not in the proper point range. For now, a splinter bid shows 13 plus and mini-splinters are not used.

On Monday, with a day off of school at to honour Victoria Day, St. Michael Elementary students (From the left) Jade LeRose, 10 and brother Ethen LeRose, 11, joined Alyssa Piva, 10, for a sunny luncheon on the patio of Huckleberry’s Restaurant at Columbia Valley Gardening Centre on Old Waneta Road.
One is not obligated to bid Jacoby two notrump or a splinter bid. Although it is nice to show partner support right away, it may be better to see if partner has support for a suit of yours. With points, it is always best to eat up the bidding room slowly. As we saw in a previous column, the power of bidding a splinter or a singleton after Jacoby two notrump is that a slam needs only 27 high card points when partner’s singleton is not opposite any wasted honours. With xxxx or Axxx opposite a singleton, the deck is now just 34 points. Subtract 7 points (40-7=33) and slam becomes 27 points. The bidding: South opens his 14 points in his six-card major, spades. North shows the hand described above by bidding four clubs. South has 8 points in clubs of which four (the king and jack) are definitely wasted. The opponents may grab their tricks before South gets a pitch or two on clubs. South, disappointed, signs off in four spades which North passes. Any hand with AKJ opposite the singleton will do just fine at the game level. The Lead: West has a natural lead of the queen of diamonds. He had the same hand in the last column and did not lead a diamond because opponent’s
singleton was a diamond. This time it is clearly the best lead and not just the best of bad leads. The play: South wins the opening lead and draws trump in three rounds. He loses the heart king and a diamond to make five spades for +650. Notes: -Splinter bids and Jacoby two notrump show four-card support. With only three trump support, one can bid a new suit at the two level and then bid game in partner’s major. -All the bridge columns may be viewed at http://watsongallery.ca.

District owns, manages theatre
FROM PAGE 1 The theatre is owned by the regional district and managed by Mark Daines, regional district director of facilities and recreation. “Not a lot of theatres are run by politicians,” she said. “They’re often city owned or the regional district owns the building but they’re usually run by a separate society of artistic personnel.” The way tickets are processed could also be updated to reach a wider audience, she added. “We have a really primitive system and it works well,” she said. “The Trail Arts Council are the ones who run the box office and they do a really good job but it’s small and I think a ticketing system would be a huge improvement to the theatre (automated with online sales).” Among areas for improvement, Tremblay said even marketing what the building already has to offer could attract new business. She sees a real value in the Muriel Griffiths room, which aside from piano recitals is rarely used. “Sometimes people don’t want to rent the Charles Bailey because it’s a 700-seat venue and that’s daunting,” she said. “But why not put on workshops, smaller shows and more intimate performances in the Muriel Griffiths room, which fits 80-100 people.” The survey is described as a chance for residents to “complain” while the upcoming community consultation from 7-9 p.m. on May 30 in the Muriel Griffiths room is an opportunity to take part in a “future-focuses session.” After the survey is closed June 16, Tremblay will compile the findings. Recommendations will be crafted for the business plan that is set for completion by September.
Group effort leads to success
FROM PAGE 1 The group attributes its continued growth and success to having fun and making friends but they are reluctant to take too much of the credit for themselves. “The regional district kicks in, the Lions, Rotary, and Nipkow’s Greenhouse supplies the plants and does up the planters,” explained committee member Sharon Ewings. “And the Village of Fruitvale is really cooperative as well, we share a summer student with them.” Committee member, Holly Gordon summed it up the benefits to the town and the citizens. “With projects like this, it’s not just the gardens that bloom,” she said. “It’s the whole community that blooms. The people too.” Follwoing the award presentation at the curling club on Friday, there will be a reception capped off with the May Days fireworks at dusk. “We would love to see all past recipients come out and lend their support to the new nominee for 2013,” said Terness.

Glenmerry principal Patrick Audet is backing the neighbourhood’s drive for improved traffic safety around the elementary school. The school has rounded up its own crosswalk identifiers at the corner of Carnation and Woodland (in front of the school), where only two white parallel lines exist on the road.
Glenmerry parents push for better traffic safety By Valerie Rossi Times Staff
Glenmerry parents and residents have made some distance on traffic safety improvements for a community that centres around an elementary school. The Neighbourhood Residents Association has discussed concerns in its own backyard and has crafted a report that was just passed along to the city for review. Traffic safety was the top item, with specific mention of excessive speeding along Carnation and Highway drives, lack of signage for crosswalks and visibility around the school and inconsistent speed limits, which has lead to disorganized congestion during school hours. This all together equals a recipe for disaster, according to Glenmerry principal Patrick Audet. “We've got kids trying to use the crosswalks, buses trying to turn and parents trying to park and pick up their kids all at the same time,” he pointed out at the poorly identified crosswalk at the corner of Carnation and Woodland. The area is heavily congested at about 2:15 p.m. when about 80 per cent

of students load four buses while parents pull in to pick up their children. “Parents are sort of competing for parking spots near the school so they don't have to walk that far but what it means is that people in the community are having their driveways blocked and there is so much parking on the corner of Carnation and Woodland that buses have trouble making it around the corner and the corner involves two crosswalks,” he added. Glenmerry's Parent Advisory Council previously purchased florescent green crossing flag men and recently started putting out pylons in front of nearby homes to ensure parents don't block driveways during pick up and drop off. But their efforts are not enough and a push for proper signage is a community effort. “Student safety is a huge thing for us,” said Lisa Stewart, Glenmerry PAC chair. “We always are looking to identify issues around school safety and have those discussions with the principal in how we can make things safer for the kids.” The residents association is drumming the same beat, documenting traf-
fic safety concerns in its report. “Glenmerry has commercial activity down at one end of the community, we draw a lot of workers from the suburbs that come into work in our neighbourhood every day and they all happily want to get out of here and scoot home,” explained Ingrid Enns, Glenmerry's association community chair. While the report remains for city eyes before being released to the public, Enns highlighted a request for additional stop signs to curb speeding. “If you're on a long, straight street people will just boogie along,” she explained. “But if they know they have to come to a stop sign, they'll decelerate.” The group, which is sanctioned by the city and reports to Trail Community in Bloom, has only been active for two months. The association has many sister groups throughout Trail neighbourhoods that also receive help from the city to put out a community newsletter as well as a one-time contribution for a beautification project and potential inkind services and supplies.

Fraser River peaks Spring runoff water levels have peaked on the lower Fraser River, and the high streamflow advisory was lifted Monday for the river at Quesnel, Fraser Canyon, Hope and the Lower Mainland. Fraser River levels started easing on the weekend, after the river gauge at Mission reached a high of 5.6 meters on Friday afternoon, but the river and tributaries are expected to continue to run high for the rest of the week. B.C.’s River Forecast Centre warned that the potential for heavy rain in the B.C. Interior this week could cause a further level and streamflow rise in the Lower Fraser. Upstream of Prince George, the Fraser River system peaked late last week, after cooler and wetter than normal conditions in late April.

raised concerns once Leslie’s presentation was completed. “I’m astonished you are so short-handed with officers in the field, especially for their own safety,” he said. “It’s really quite embarrassing.” Director Mike Macnabb says a lack of enforcement in the woods is a growing problem. “We have no protection in our watersheds so mudboggers go in there. We are finding illegal dumping all over the place. We need help.” Leslie insists her department is establishing priorities to try and serve the public better. “We’d love to do everything because these are the communities we live in,” she said.

Man survives collision with humpback whale THE CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR A Campbell River man is recovering from facial surgery after his boat collided with a humpback whale in the waters off Sayward May 15. Ray Boyd still faces expensive dental work after a humpback whale breached in front of his 22-foot Grady White power boat and sent the operator flying. “Bang! I felt the collision and I went flying through the air,” Boyd told CTV. He then struck some part of the boat and was briefly knocked unconscious. When he came to, his vessel was barrelling down the strait, luckily, in a straight line. This allowed him to regain control of the boat and return to shore safely. Boyd lost teeth in the encounter and has a broken jaw and a black eye. He now also faces $10,000 worth of reconstructive surgery. Biologists, meanwhile, are concerned the whale may be injured and therefore a continued hazard to boaters. Humpback whales are becoming more frequent visitors to the inner waters of Vancouver Island due to a reviving population. Boaters are being warned to keep an eye out for the massive sea mammals.

Embattled mayor stays silent THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Toronto’s embattled mayor had nothing to say on Tuesday about allegations that he was recorded on video appearing to smoke crack cocaine, while Ontario’s premier weighed in for the first time on the scandal that has rocked the provincial capital. Many had hoped Rob Ford would address the Briefs latest controversy to plague his tenure when he returned to city hall after the long weekend, but the mayor left mid-afternoon without making a public statement on the alleged video. Meanwhile, at Queen’s Park, Premier Kathleen Wynne expressed concern over the ongoing firestorm surrounding the mayor. After initially dismissing the matter as a municipal concern, she went on to say any issue that interferes with government effectiveness must be resolved swiftly. “It’s concerning to me if there are issues, whether they’re personal issues, that get in the way of a government, a municipal government, being able to work in the best interest of the city,” she said when pressed on the matter. “So I think whatever those issues are, they need to be dealt with as quickly as possible so that the council and the leadership of the council can get on with dealing with the business of governing the city.” Both the Toronto Star and the U.S.based website Gawker.com reported on Thursday that staff had separately viewed cellphone footage which they said appears to show Ford smoking crack. Ford has remained silent about the allegations after issuing a brief comment on Friday slamming the Toronto Star report as a smear job and calling it “ridiculous.”

Nova Scotia
Orchard quarantined THE CANADIAN PRESS KENTVILLE, N.S. - Federal food safety officials have placed an apple orchard in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley under quarantine after the detection of a destructive pest for the first time in North America. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it has found an infestation of apple proliferation phytoplasma in an orchard near Kentville. The agency, which did not identify the orchard, says the pest is found throughout Europe and is considered one of the most critical diseases of apple trees. The affected trees are of the Pacific Gala variety that were imported to Canada from the U.S. in 2008. Officials say the source of the infestation is unknown and testing has begun at the U.S. nurseries where the trees originated. The disease can result in reduced growth and smaller, less sweet fruit. It spreads primarily through infected planting material, but can also be transmitted between plants by insects. The agency says apple proliferation phytoplasma is a plant disease that does not pose a health threat to humans or animals.
Harper sheds little light on scandal
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - A “very upset” Prime Minister Stephen Harper tried to settle down a scandalrattled Conservative caucus Tuesday with talk of accountability and Senate reform, but shed no new light on the $90,000 transaction that cost him his chief of staff. Conservative MPs and senators heading into Tuesday’s caucus meeting had hoped Harper would provide more facts behind the growing scandal that forced his right-hand man, Nigel Wright, to resign over the weekend. But if Harper’s speech - opened up on this occasion to the media, a rarity - was any indication, they didn’t get much. “I don’t think any of you are going to be very surprised to hear that I am not happy,” Harper said in his first public comments since revelations last week that Wright wrote a personal cheque worth $90,000 to embattled Sen. Mike Duffy. “I’m very upset about the conduct we have witnessed, the conduct of some parliamentarians and the conduct of my own office.” Harper didn’t go into detail, however, about just how involved he or his office was in helping Duffy repay living expenses he shouldn’t have claimed in the first place. Nor did he go any farther behind closed doors; sources told The Canadian Press that while MPs pressed for more details during the meeting on his office’s role in bailing out Duffy, they didn’t get any. The matter is in the hands of the federal ethics commissioner who can be trusted to sort things out, many suggested. “Trust me, they ask all the questions and they get to the bottom of the matters and that is the appropriate place, and that’s where the ethics commissioner’s report comes up,” said Labour Minister Lisa Raitt. “It will be transparent and we will be accountable.”
Ethics commissioner Mary Dawson is reviewing whether she should investigate if Wright broke ethics rules by giving Duffy was what initially described as a gift to help pay back his disallowed housing expenses. The payment allowed Duffy to stop co-operating with an ongoing audit of his expenses. The issue of Duffy’s expense claims in particular is also set to be reviewed anew by the Senate internal economy committee, which Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird referred to as an “independent” body on Tuesday. “We look forward to the results of these reviews,” Baird said. The prime minister’s office said last week that Wright was not expecting to be repaid by Duffy, but suggested there was an agreement in place between the two men. “The only stipulation on the money to Duffy - sent to him through his lawyer - was that an equal amount be sent to the Receiver General from Duffy on the same day to cover the impugned claims,” Harper spokesman Andrew MacDougall said in an email. CTV reported on Monday that a formal agreement was written up governing the terms of the payment but Baird repeatedly 2.833 x 4 fended off a barrage of
questions Tuesday in the Commons by saying there was no written deal. “Our understanding is that there is no such agreement,” he said. Benjamin Perrin, the lawyer reportedly used by the Prime Minister’s Office to draft the arrangement, also issued his own denial. “I was not consulted on, and did not participate in, Nigel Wright’s decision to write a personal cheque to reimburse Sen. Duffy’s expenses,” Perrin said in a statement. “I have never communicated with the prime minister on this matter.” Meanwhile, questions still linger as to whether the transaction between Duffy and Wright came with a commitment that the Senate committee investigating Duffy’s claims would go easy on him. Some observers have painted the crisis as the most serious test the Conservatives have faced since winning their majority in 2011, but Harper framed the issue more as a minor distraction. “We have an active and important agenda on the issues that matter to hardworking Canadian families and there is much work to be done,” he said. “When distractions arise, as they inevitably will, we will deal with them firmly.” Harper’s speech was greeted with an ovation and his caucus
broke out into chants at the end, drowning out reporters who tried to ask the prime minister questions. Harper needs to be a lot clearer with Canadians, the opposition said, using up a third of Tuesday’s question period to grill the government.
“They think we’re fools,” said Francoise Boivin of the NDP. “They’re trying to make us believe that (Harper) knew nothing.” Complained New Democrat Nathan Cullen: “These guys will not be accountable.” HIGH FRAME RATE 3D

Data from National Household Survey worthless
T
here is much talk today of ‘big data’. As our world goes digital, companies, governments, not-forprofits, and organizations of all sorts obtain vast quantities of data about, well, virtually everything. But is the data any good? So far, the talk has been about quantity, but not quality. That may be because there is so little quality to speak of. Take, for example, the first data releases from the National Household Survey (NHS) of Statistics Canada. Released earlier this month, the quality of the results has come under criticism because the voluntary NHS survey replaced the compulsory long-form census questionnaire. In effect, this replaced a random sample with a non-random sample. Non-random samples have their place, but making conclusions about the population isn’t one of them. As a result, no conclusions about the Canadian population can be drawn
from the NHS. Since making these types of conclusions is the whole point of a census, the NHS data is worthless. (This is also true for any survey where participation is voluntary, including citizen, customer and employee satisfaction surveys.) This is why, in resigning as the head of Statistics Canada, Munir Sheikh wrote in an open letter to the Prime Minister: “I want to take this opportunity to comment on a technical statistical issue which has become the subject of media discussion . . . the question of whether a voluntary survey can become a substitute for a mandatory census . . . It cannot.” Later, Statistics Canada’s high-profile chief economic analyst, Phil Cross, also resigned, citing the same concerns. Cross is currently research co-ordinator with the MacDonaldLaurier Institute. That’s two people resigning over a matter of principle. Refusing to

compromise scientific integrity for personal or political gain, are admirable actions. Arguably, a level of integrity is all too rare in the Canadian public service and now, totally absent at Statistics Canada. The NHS replaces sound scientific sampling and data collection with meaningless motherhood pronouncements. Saying: “The Agency is aware of the risks and associated adverse effects on data quality and is currently adapting its data collection and other procedures to mitigate the impact of these risks.” is not science;
it’s spin. No amount of public relations nonsense from the Communications Office of Statistics Canada can produce a reliable statistical inference from a discretionary sample. Nor can mailing more surveys. Statistics Canada’s claim that; “To promote data accuracy, this voluntary survey will be sent to a larger crosssection of households than the old long-form census,” is not evidence of risk mitigation but of statistical incompetence. Sample size doesn’t compensate for sampling bias. Quantity can’t replace quality. Statistics Canada’s mitigation strategy is nothing more than piling it higher and deeper in the hopes nobody will notice that it’s all the same BS. The news releases accompanying the initial release of the NHS results encourage this confusion between quantity and quality. For example, Statistics Canada claimed a high quality of results for the NHS at a national
level, but cautioned that the numbers were less reliable for smaller population centres because of low response rates. This is the reason given for withholding the results of one quarter of Canadian municipalities. But the truth is, the results at a national level are no more reliable than results for any one of the over 1,000 municipalities that had their results withheld. This is because reliability cannot be measured when the sample isn’t random and voluntary surveys aren’t, by definition, random (as Sheikh makes clear). In publishing results for larger population areas then, Statistics Canada is claiming reliability where none exists and perpetrating what amounts to a scientific fraud on the Canadian public.

structural reforms will continue. Structural reforms will have to wait until Abe also has a majority in the upper house of the Diet, which he confidently expects to win in the July elections, but already his strategy is showing results. Economic growth in the first three months of this year equates to about 3.6 percent annually, more than four times higher than the long-term average of the past two decades, and the Japanese stock market is up 80 percent since January. The strategy is high-risk because Japanese government debt is already the highest in the developed world: 240 percent of Gross Domestic Product. If the surge in growth does not last, the government’s income from taxes will not rise (it is no higher now than it was in 1991) and in a few years the debt will soar to an unsustainable level. The country will essentially go bankrupt. Of course, the surge may persist; creating a perception of vigorous growth is half the battle. But why take such a risk? Probably because Abe is keenly aware that Japan had the world’s second-biggest economy when he was prime minister the first time, and now it’s only the third-biggest. The country that overtook it was China. For a thousand years China was the dominant power in eastern Asia. Japan wrested that role from it in the late 19th century, but now it’s going back to its natural home – and Abe would do almost anything to prevent that. That’s why he takes such a hard line on the dispute between the two countries over the Senkaku/ Diaoyu Islands. But much more importantly, he must get the Japanese economy growing again, or the country will end up far behind China. To avoid that, he will take any risk.

PEOPLE RAY MANZAREK
OBITUARIES
Musician was founding member of The Doors
CHRISTENSEN, CHARLES OSCAR — With sad and heavy hearts the family of Charles Oscar Christensen wishes to announce his passing at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital on Saturday, May 11, 2013, blessed with 81 years of life. Charlie was born in Nelson, on June 1, 1931 to parents Mary and Oscar Christensen. He married Rosemary Porter on August 21, 1954 and they raised two children. Charlie worked for the BC Telephone Company for 35 years as an installer. He was a member of the Eagles Lodge in Trail as well as the Sons of Norway. He was an avid golfer and a member of the Castlegar Golf Club for many years. Charlie also enjoyed curling, fishing, and spending time at the family cabin on Kootenay Lake in the summer and spending winters in Arizona. He was predeceased by his brother Chester and nephew Bruce. Left to mourn his loss is his loving wife of 58 years Rosemary, daughter Karen (Ed), son Rick, grandchildren Shannon, Maggie and Laura; Wyatt, Shandi, Stacy and Dylan, brother-in-law Andy (Betty) Porter, and nieces and nephews Doug (Denise), Holly (Derrick), Gordon, Jeff and Blair. Cremation, in care of Castlegar Funeral Chapel, has taken place and at Charlie’s request there will not be a service. A gathering of family and friends will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Charlie’s Memory, may be made to Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, 2000 Columbia Avenue, Castlegar, BC V1N 2W7.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Ray Manzarek, a founding member of the 1960s rock group The Doors whose versatile and often haunting keyboards complemented Jim Morrison’s gloomy baritone and helped set the mood for some of rock’s most enduring songs, has died. He was 74. Manzarek died Monday in Rosenheim, Germany, surrounded by his family, said publicist Heidi Robinson-Fitzgerald. She said the musician’s manager, Tom Vitorino, confirmed Manzarek died after being stricken with bile duct cancer. The Doors’ original lineup, which also included drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robbie Krieger, was only together for a few years and they only made six studio albums. But the band has retained a large and obsessive following decades after Morrison’s death, in 1971. The Doors have sold more than 100 million records and songs such as “Light My Fire” and “Riders On the Storm” are still “classic” rock favourites. For Doors admirers, the band symbolized the darker side of the L.A. lifestyle, what happened to the city after the sun went down and the Beach Boys fans headed home. The Doors’ vibe “has more to do
with Charles Bukowski than it does with Farrah Fawcett,” said John Doe of punk band X, a friend of Manzarek’s for more than 30 years, referring to the poet and ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star, respectively. “It has more to do with Raymond Chandler and Nathaniel West, and ‘Sunset Boulevard’ the movie, than it does with ‘Beach Blanket Bingo,’ right? ... It’s a real dark place out in LA.” Next to Morrison, Manzarek was the most distinctive-looking band member, his glasses and wavy blond hair making him resemble a young English professor more than a rock star, a contrast to Morrison’s Dionysian glamour - his sensuous mouth and long, dark hair. Musically, Manzarek’s spidery organ on “Light My Fire” is one of the most instantly recognizable sounds in rock history. But he seemed up to finding the right touch for a wide range of songs - the sleepy, lounge-style keyboards on “Riders On the Storm”; the liquid strains for “The Crystal Ship”; the barrelhouse romps on “Roadhouse Blues.” The Doors always considered themselves “more” than a rock band and Manzarek, Densmore and Krieger often managed a flowing rapport that blended rock, blues
and jazz behind Morrison’s self-consciously poetic lyrics. “There was no keyboard player on the planet more appropriate to support Jim Morrison’s words,” Densmore said in a statement. “Ray, I felt totally in sync with you musically. It was like we were of one mind, holding down the foundation for Robby and Jim to float on top of. I will miss my musical brother.” The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. Born and raised in Chicago, Manzarek studied piano as a child and briefly considered a career in basketball. After graduating from DePaul University, he headed west to study film at UCLA. A few months after graduation, he and Morrison met in 1965 on Venice Beach in California. As Manzarek would often recall, Morrison read him some lyrics - Let’s swim to the moon/Let’s climb through the tide/Penetrate the evening that the/City sleeps to hide“ - that became the start of ”Moonlight Drive.“ “I’d never heard lyrics to a rock song like that before,” Manzarek told Billboard in 1967. “We talked a while before we decided to get a group together and make a million dollars.”

Junior Golf
McKay leads the way Local golfer sweeps stops at Redstone and Birchbank
By Times Staff Junior golfers battled the elements and each other over a busy weekend of play at the Redstone and Birchbank golf courses. The two weekend events were part of the regular junior circuit but the events also doubled as the qualifier for the B.C. Junior championships. Capping it off was a B.C. Golf Association development camp which proved to be a big success thanks to the help of Team B.C. coach Matt Palsenbarg and Champion Lakes Golf Club head professional Kevin Nesbitt. Despite all the expert advice, the golfers had to contend with Mother Nature on Saturday at the Redstone course in Rossland. The cold, rainy conditions took its toll on the players and only Birchbank’s Tyler McKay managed to break 80. His total of 79 was the best round of the day and three strokes better than Granite Pointe’s Carson Arcuri, who carded an 82. Birchbank’s Brennan Moroney won the 17-18-year-old division, Arcuri’s round put him atop the 15-16-year-old group and Kaden Lane of Christina Lake was tops in the 14-and-under division. The weather cleared up on Sunday for the next stop at the Birchbank course but the overall winner stayed the same as McKay fired an even-par 72. Moroney, who finished four shots behind at 76, repeated as the top player in the 17-18 division. Rock Creek’s David Launier shaved four strokes off his Saturday score to card an 84 and capture the 15-16 division while Lane repeated in the 14-under group. Four players were selected to represent the zone at the B.C. junior men’s championship, which begins July 2 in Revelstoke. Scores over the two weekend events were used to determine the team. McKay’s tournament-best rounds on Saturday and Sunday easily qualified him for the provincials. Rounding out the team are Moroney, with his rounds of 86 and 76, Launier, who carded rounds of 88 and 84, and Isaac Janzen of Creston, who needed a playoff to secure his berth after posting rounds of 89 and 86.

By Times Staff Curl BC announced its award winners for the 2012-13 curling season and there was a distinct Kootenay flavour. Topping the list was Karen Lepine and her Langley foursome. Lepine, who won the B.C. Senior ladies curling championship in Trail in February, was named the female adult Athlete of the Year. She not only won the B.C. senior title and the B.C. masters title but continued curling after breaking her arm at the senior nationals in P.E.I. Despite the injury she represented B.C. At the masters nationals in Ontario. Her masters curling team, which included three members of the B.C. senior championship rink, was named the Master Curler Team of the Year. Kootenay curlers were also recognized with a variety of awards. Nelson’s Kelli May received the Elsie McKenzie Award for supporting youth and junior curling programs for the last decade. Creston’s Vernon Ronmark received the Pat Kennedy Award for long-time volunteerism in and around the Creston area. Donna Butler of the Cranbrook Curling Club received the Janette Robbins Award presented to the sport’s builders. A respected official and tireless volunteer, Butler is credited with doing everything from helping maintain the ice, the teaching the game to youngsters to officiating events. Andrew Bilesky of New Westminster, who skipped his rink to the B.C. men’s title, was named the male adult Athlete of the Year. The junior curler awards went to Megan and Sarah Daniels, sisters out of the Delta Curling Club while Corey Chester of Victoria and Kyle Habkirk of Coquitlam shared the junior men’s award. The Langley Curling Club was named Club of the Year.

Creston’s Isaac Janzen added a splash of colour to contrast the dark and dreary weather junior golfers faced Saturday at its tour stop at Rossland’s Redstone Resort. Many of the young golfers will be back at the Birchbank course when the B.C. Single-A high school championships tee off on May 27. The three-day event is open to secondary schools with a maximum enrolment of 160 male and female students in grades 11 and 12.
It will mark the first time since May 2011 that a high school golf championship will be held. The championships were cancelled last year in the face of the teachers’ job action and subsequent withdrawal from extra-curricular activities.

chief executive Peter Dawson said. The new rule does not ban the long putters, only the way they commonly are used. Golfers no longer will be able to anchor the club against their bodies to create the effect of a hinge. Masters champion Adam Scott used a long putter he pressed against his chest. British Open champion Ernie Els and U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson used a belly putter, as did Keegan Bradley in the 2011 PGA Championship. “We strongly believe that this rule is for the betterment of the game,” USGA President Glen Nager said. “Rule 14-1b protects one of the important challenges in the game - the free swing of the entire club.” The announcement followed six months of contentious debate, and it might not be over. The next step is for the PGA Tour to follow the new rule or decide to establish its own condition of competition that would allow players to anchor the long putters. PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said in February the USGA and R&A would be “making a mistake” to adopt the rule, though he also has stressed the importance of golf playing under one set of rules. “I think it’s really important that the PGA Tour - and all the professional tours - continue to follow one set of rules,” USGA executive director Mike Davis said. “We have gotten very positive feedback from the tours around the world saying that they like one set of rules, they like the R&A and USGA governing those. So if there was some type of schism, we don’t think that would be good for golf.

been to counseling and thought it was a joke. We’re getting too old for this. -- Usually Have an Answer Dear Usually: There is no definitive “right” or “wrong.” Your son and his wife have an alcohol problem and other issues that they are not addressing. No one should endure such an unhappy life if things can be done to make it better. Please urge them to go back to counseling for their children’s sake. If they didn’t like the first counselor, they can look for someone who is a better fit. They can go separately or together. They also should
the-clock care in her own home? That is often the kindest solution. Is there an affordable CCRC (Continuing Care Retirement Community) that offers independent living, followed by assisted living, followed by nursing home care as needed? You can contact the Eldercare Locator (eldercare.gov) at 1-800-677-1116 to find resources in your area. Or, if you can afford it, you can get help navigating your options by hiring a private care manager through the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers at caremanager.org. Dear Annie: My heart goes out to “A Regretful Grandma,” who grieves her grandchild aborted 40 years ago. Your advice to seek grief counseling was excellent, but many counselors are not trained or sensitive to this particular kind of grief. I would like to let
Regretful Grandma and others know about the National Office of Post-Abortion Reconciliation and Healing (noparh.org) at 1-800-5WE-CARE. They offer both secular and religious resources and referrals, and their website has a page just
for grandparents. -Reader in Baton Rouge Dear Baton: Many readers wrote to us with referrals, many to Rachel’s Vineyard, and most of which are religious in nature. Thank you for helping. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy

In the meantime, please offer to take those children into your home as often as possible so they have some semblance of stability. Dear Annie: My widowed mother is 79 years old and has been diagnosed with mild dementia that is getting progressively worse. She lives alone, and I am 10 minutes away. Here’s my question: What is the best way to care for my mother? When will I know the time is right to place her in a nursing home? What kind of facility is best?

Dear Annie: My wife and I are caught up in our son’s dysfunctional marriage. “Martin” and his wife have three children together, and he has an older child from a previous marriage. All of the children are wonderful. They do well in school. But their mom and dad hate each other, drink too much and fight constantly. Martin was recently fired after several incidents at work, some of them physical. They lost their home and now rent. They each accuse the other of being crazy and stupid. One sleeps constantly. They do not communicate in any way. They have given up hope of ever being happy or ever achieving anything. We listen to them and can’t decide who is right or wrong. We think they are both at fault, but we have no idea how to help them. Divorce is out of the question. They’ve

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Thursday, May 23, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be on the lookout for ways to reduce your debt or put a new spin on how you share anything you own with others. You can make improvements here. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) For a close friendship or partnership to be successful, you must be as good for your partner as he or she is for you. Is that what you have going? Think about this today. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Look for ways to introduce reforms at work, because they exist today. You can cut costs or see new and better ways of doing things. (Clever you.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Romantic relationships will be passionate today. Nothing will be superficial.

over heels in love. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might be able to make improvements to your home today, especially in areas related to bathrooms, laundry, plumbing, recycling and garbage. Out with the old! Clean up the place! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Because you are unusually persuasive today, use this to your advantage. If you need to convince someone of something, you can do it. (Trust me.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might see new ways to make money today either by getting a different job or by making money on the side. You also might see new ways to use something you already own. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve your image. Any ideas? (There’s
always room for improvement.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Research of any kind will go well today. If you’re looking for answers or solutions, then dig deep, because you have focus and concentration to go for the jugular. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today you might encounter someone in a group who is powerful, probably
a female. Fortunately, this person has something he or she can teach you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) People are going to learn some secrets about you today, so be aware of this. You might want to do a little damage control. (Pssst.) PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Someone might be so powerful that he or she changes your belief system today. At
