The City of Trail has released details on a mutual agreement that outlines the Silver City’s intent to expand its boundary into Teck-owned land in Area A. In a meeting on Wednesday with Area A, Fruitvale and Montrose, the City of Trail and Teck Trail Operations unveiled a plan that involves land, cash and tax concessions. “It involves 66 parcels (of land) in total,” said David Perehudoff, chief administrative officer for the city. “Including the land from the city’s current boundary, running south through Columbia Gardens to the international border.” Perehudoff explained that the general land assessments total $76,687,300 and there are eight residents living in the area. Included in the proposed boundary expansion are Teck’s Waneta Reload Facility and the Waneta Dam. “Those facilities are very important for Teck and our Trail operations and under this agreement framework, Teck is supportive of those facilities being included within the City of Trail,” said Richard Deane, Teck manager, environment, health and safety, and public affairs. “Our understanding is that now the City of Trail will be moving forward with the boundary expansion but there is a lot of details to work out especially around revenue sharing amongst Beaver Valley, Fruitvale, Montrose and Area A.” The Trail Times contacted a representative from the regional district who declined to comment until a formal press release is issued next week. Mayor Dieter Bogs addressed the concerns relating to Beaver Valley in a press release on Thursday. “This process will include the City of Trail negotiating a fair agreement with the Beaver Valley Parks and Recreation Service due to the revenue loss that regional service will experience should the area form part of the city,” said Bogs. The property taxes from these facilities are currently paid to the province of B.C., in the form of rural property taxes because the property in question is an unincorporated area, said Perehudoff.

Crews tackle dangerous corner BY ART HARRISON Times Staff
The site of a fatal truck accident earlier this month is under construction. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure crews are currently working on the corner on Highway 3B in Warfield where a transport truck crashed on May 3. “We’re trying to change this corner coming down from Rossland from what is referred to as a decreasing radius turn,
one that gets tighter and tighter as you come through the turn to more of a simple curve,” said site manager, John van der Holt. “If you’ve seen the larger trucks coming down through this, they frequently cross over the yellow line. We’re trying to eliminate that.” Van der Holt explained that the middle climbing lane will be eliminated and dedicated left hand turn slots marked out to facilitate easier and safer turns
off the highway. The work was slated to begin May 6 but was held back by common project delays and the May 3 accident. Van der Holt pointed out that the project was not begun as a result of the recent crash. “We’ve known for a long time that this was a problem area.” The project, originally scheduled to run from May 6 to June 6 is now anticipated to be completed in mid-June.

term tax certainty for Teck Trail Operations from its current 63 per cent municipal tax revenue to be reduced to 55 per cent over time. “Teck actually pays to the City of Trail 62.25 per cent of the city’s current general tax levy,” explained Perehudoff. And for 2013, Teck’s portion of the overall city’s taxes was almost $7 million. “The key thing for
Teck Trail operations is long-term sustainability and viability and the tax certainty is a big part of that,” said Deane. “This agreement will provide that tax certainty which will underpin long-term sustainability.” Further, within the agreement, Teck will provide a one-time community investment of $1 million to focus on economic development within

the city limits; and a 20-year community investment of $225,000, indexed for inflation, to focus on economic development and diversification. “It is hoped that those significant community investments will see a benefit to the City of Trail,” said Deane. Bogs said that if the process received final approval from the province and the property owners, the boundary expansion could be completed within the next 18 months. The Trail mayor, who was instrumental in reaching the agreement, said that the guaranteed revenue for 20 years will mean that the city can reconfigure its currents economic development committee (LCIC) to focus its attention within the city limits.

City corrects glitch in automated ticketing system Times Staff
The city has found a parking anomaly with the implementation of a new automated device that cuts meter attendants' labour, giving them more time to write tickets to parking violators during a shift. The new point-ofsale system allows a bylaw officer to enter relevant information into the computer on site, where it is automatically uploaded to the city's database. This does away with the attendant's need to rush back to City Hall and re-enter their findings, making for a more efficient approach to ticketing. But when the new system was introduced last month, it was realized early on that the device was picking up a historical bylaw that charged violators parking in city pay-and-display lots (including the Fortis and Trail Memorial Centre) a $10 fine, rather than the regular $5 rate that was manually interpreted before the introduction of the hand-held computer. The system will be updated to a match this general $5 fee, when council votes to adopt the bylaw change on May 27. “When we are trying to encourage regular users — downtown employees — to use the pay-and-display lots instead of parking all day at the parking meters in the down-
town, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to subject them to a $10 fine if they are longer than expected returning to their vehicle and their ticket is expired,” explained Michelle McIsaac, city administrator. In the downtown metered zones, violation notices are commonly issued for expired parking meters, over parking in a time zone, parking in a lane, loading zone or no parking zone or parking without a valid ticket displayed. The cost of fines vary, though most start at $5, with as much as a $35 ticket for parking in a handicap zone. The city rolled out the new system, a $45,000 capital project, this year when it was realized that the city was in need for a more efficient system that would help crack down on chronic parking violators. The automated system will aid the city in collecting over $150,000 worth of unpaid fines in the last four years, as the tool not only speeds up the process of filing fines but also has the intelligence to report on a driver's ticket history. “It's a lot faster and I can make no judgement whether or not to cancel a ticket,” said Bernadette Racette, Trail parking meter attendant. “Once it is printed, it's not up to me anymore. It has to be disputed at City Hall.” Trail has yet to use
eral years when the meter rates were increased it provided an impetus for people to seek parking in the reserved lots that we have and since that time we're fairly consistently as capacity,” she said. “We recognize there is a need for increased parking downtown.”

Bernadette Racette, Trail parking meter attendant, says her job is easier now that she’s using a new hand held device that communicates in realtime with the city’s payment module. its newly-purchased boot device that clamps a vehicle's wheel when a driver has accumulated five unpaid parking tickets with one warning. The tool was acquired this year as a deterrent to up the compliance rate. “I think it's the most cost effective way,” said Racette. “The other option is to get an impound lot and tow trucks and to me that is just too
much. The boot is far less costly and still has the same effect.” It's not an uncommon site to see Trail professionals or shoppers running to their vehicles to plug their meter when Racette patrols downtown streets in her noticeable blue bylaw officer uniform. “If they're plugging the meter or they'r eleaving and they catch me before I've hit print, I'll let them
pay the meter or leave because voluntarily compliance is the goal,” she said. “But if I've printed the ticket, I'll inform them of the dispute process because they're really is nothing I can do at that point.” While there is a push for professionals to park in pay-anddisplay lots, McIsaac does acknowledge the growing need for these stalls. “For the past sev-

RDEK forgoes purchasing carbon offsets By Steve Hubrecht Invermere Valley Echo
The Regional District of the East Kootenay (RDEK) has decided to forgo purchasing carbon offsets from the Darkwoods Forest Carbon Project as part of its efforts to be carbon neutral for 2012. The RDEK will instead allocate the money that would have been used to an Energy Conservation Reserve Fund. The fund will be used to support local energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emis-

uncertainty around Darkwoods, but it would be great to keep momentum (in efforts to reduce energy and emissions) going,” said RDEK district planner Matt Gunn. “The idea is to instead use the fund for much more local energy efficiency projects.” The Carbon Neutral Kootenay Project has put out a request for projects, looking for ideas on how the money in the fund can be specifically spent. Mr. Gunn said the district will look at two
main types of projects: avoiding deforestation (either by designating regional parks or by designing extra green space in subdivisions), and retrofitting buildings to make them more energy efficient — or at least switching the type of fuel the building uses to something that produces less carbon. The Carbon Neutral Kootenay Project has also suggested it may consider solar thermal retrofitting, household organic waste composting, and using lower emission vehicles for public transportation.

which may include five or more separate facilities to process and ship LNG to Asian markets. Proposals are being accepted until June 3, according to a request for proposals posted on the government’s BC Bid website. While the number of potential pipelines and LNG plants remains uncertain, the EAO has identified broad issues for the largest industrial project ever proposed in B.C. They include: “potential social and economic issues arising from large and mobile capital construction workforces, injection of longerterm residential workforces in communities with proposed facility projects; potential impacts from increased dust, noise and vibration; water management and potential shortterm negative visual impacts.” There are two proposed pipelines, one by TransCanada to supply an LNG plant at Kitimat backed by Shell, Korea Gas, Misubishi and PetroChina. Spectra Energy has partnered with British Gas Group for a pipeline and export facilities on Ridley Island at the Port of Prince Rupert.

NATIONAL Going on holidays?
OBITUARIES FORSTER (NEE CHRISTIAN), VIRGINIA — died peacefully following a sudden, brief illness, in Kelowna BC, with family at her side. Virginia had been a resident of Trail BC for more than 70 years, before moving to Kelowna in May 2011 to be closer to family. Virginia was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, and friend and will be deeply missed by all. Virginia lived a life of honesty, integrity, thoughtfulness and selfsacrifice and was gratified to see her children become successful in life. Virginia was an avid bridge player, cribbage player, reader, and had been a wonderful dressmaker for many years. In her retirement, Virginia was able to travel to many far-flung destinations with family, and with longtime friend Dorothy Kandborg. Virginia had been a member of the West Kootenay Naturalist Association and the Pythian Sisters, and was active in the Trail Senior Citizens Association prior to her move to Kelowna. Virginia was predeceased by her husband George (2003), daughter Margaret (2005), and twin brother George (1999). Virginia is survived by children Helen Perry (Pat), Kelowna; David Forster (Candy), Mississauga; Richard Forster (Sheila), Kelowna; Murray Forster (Leonora Angeles), Vancouver. Also survived by nieces Lynne, Gail and Jane, and nephews Gordon, Charlie, Evan and Robert, their

LEONARD MARSH
From window washer to CEO of beverage company THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Leonard Marsh, the cofounder of the Snapple beverage brand, has died at age 80. The Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. of Plano, Texas, which now owns Snapple, on Thursday confirmed Marsh’s death. He died Tuesday at his home in Manhasset, N.Y. Snapple began in New
York in 1972 as Unadulterated Food Products, which sold natural fruit juices to health food stores. Marsh, a window washer who would later serve as CEO of Snapple, launched the business on the side with his brother-in-law Hyman Golden and childhood friend Arnold Greenberg. The trio didn’t introduce
the brand name until 1980 and its popularity quickly soared as consumers clamoured for healthier beverage options. Snapple was considered a leader in the “New Age” beverage movement at the time. Its combination of unusual flavour combinations of tea and juice, along with quirky
advertising, was a hit with consumers. It inspired a number of competitors, particularly as soft drink companies took notice of the demand for drinks with natural ingredients. Quaker Oats Co. bought Snapple for $1.7 billion in 1994. Marsh stayed on for several years.

Oh Christy – what will you do to us?
L
ike many NDP supporters across British Columbia, I woke up depressed on the morning after the provincial election. Although I hadn’t been able to bring myself to vote for the New Democrats, I still yearned for change after a dozen years of empty sloganeering from the Liberal government. Instead British Columbians are facing four years at the hands of Christie Clark, the most facile premier the province has had since Bill Vander Zalm. Now, there’s an endorsement for you. The Liberals campaign message, when they weren’t slagging the New Democrats, was breathtakingly simple – vote for us and we will bring unmatched growth and prosperity. But, after 12 years in office, where is it? When Gordon Campbell became premier in 2001, he set up the B.C. Progress Board to measure how far along the province was in achieving his goal of surpassing the rest of Canada in terms of several key economic and social
measures. In 2011, the board was quietly disbanded because over a decade it had been unable to discover any relative, long-term progress – British Columbia had drifted along on the worldwide economic boom in the early part of the decade and then hit the skids in 2008. In the six key performance targets, B.C.’s economy was ranked fourth by the board among Canadian provinces in 2000 and fifth in 2010; in terms of personal income the province ranked third at the beginning of the decade and fifth at the end; and the jobs ranking had B.C. falling from fifth to seventh place. (The jobs measure was a bit deceptive because it was based on the percentage of adults employed, which is a challenge for a province that attracts a disproportionate number of retirees.) For the three targets that are not directly economic related– environmental quality, health outcomes, and social conditions – B.C.’s rank-

ings were unchanged over the decade at first, first, and ninth. In its final report, the progress board summed it up this way: “British Columbia’s outcomes have improved considerably since.. . 2001 but, due mainly to similar improvements in other provinces, this has not generally translated into better ranks.” That was the case under a premier who, whatever Gordon Campbell’s drinking problems and limitations in the charm department, was a serious worker known for bearing down on all aspects of government and holding 12-hour cabinet meetings. Don’t expect the rate of
progress to change under a premier who prefers campaigning to governing and can be expected to be found flitting around the province announcing illusory liquid natural gas operations the way Glen Clark used to trumpet phantom aluminum plants. Unless, of course, the international prices of lumber, energy, and the rest of British Columbia’s resources spike considerably. In which case, those still in the labour force or business, investors with the right portfolios, recipients of governments services and individual taxpayers – in other words, most of us – should have smiles on our faces as big as Christie Clark’s; and no reason to thank her for our good times. But then, what do I know – like many others in the nattering trades, I thought she was going to lose the election. *** Whenever the Canadian economy is under discussion, the talk inevitably turns to efficiency, productivity and innovation.
Standing in a checkout line at Safeway the other day, I witnessed a priceless example of how the battle to improve all three is going. The tally for the woman in front of me came to something that ended in 26 cents. When the customer handed over the exact amount of money rounded down to a quarter, the cashier demanded another going-goingabout-to-be-gone penny. The customer dug around in her change purse and handed over another nickle, at which point the change system spit out a nickle in change. The customer smiled, I howled and the cashier was left to apologize, explaining that she was at the mercy of the machine and had no other choice on how to proceed. Perhaps we should stop getting so excited about the Canadarm’s contribution to the space shuttle and the rest of our country’s presence in the U.S space program.

But the dynamics of the digital economy are vastly different from the factory model of production. In the 20th century, factories and their profits were essentially tied to the nation; they provided a reliable tax base because they weren’t allowed to move around the world chasing lower rates. Globalization has changed all that, while the rise of intangibles is causing even bigger problems. Digital assets dominate today; they are more fluid, readily transferrable and far less predictable than industrial plant and machinery. As intangibles rise, national governments are losing leverage over business, and – no surprise – corporate taxes are reaching new lows. We can expect the tax system and probably the role of government to alter substantially as the digital economy consolidates. The big question is, what revenue sources for government are appropriate in this new order? Well, many national and state levels of government, including Texas and Alberta, earn nontax revenues leveraging socially-owned natural capital assets. Alberta, for example, earns royalties managing the province’s oil and gas assets. In an asset revolution that’s opening vast new digital frontiers, governments could earn a return managing what Mark Anielski (author of The Economics of Happiness) describes as the Five Capitals (Natural, Human, Social, Built and Financial capital). Beginning with a new Total Asset balance sheet, governments could start to identify and manage socially ownable assets, earning a return on its capital investment that is more appropriate and equitable than a failing, out of date income tax.

Hard questions remain for Harper An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press Prime Minister Stephen Harper has stated publicly he believes the $90,000 payment his former chief of staff made to get Sen. Mike Duffy out of debt over housing expenses was just plain wrong. Harper said Wednesday had he known of it, he would have put a stop to it. Good. Now the Senate, specifically its internal economy committee, must answer some hard questions. It was revealed
that its report on Duffy, which came down much lighter on him than for two other senators who also wrongly claimed housing expenses, was edited before release. Among the passages erased was a critical paragraph casting doubt on Duffy’s belief that his P.E.I. cottage was his primary residence, even though he lived most of the time in Ottawa. The allegation is that the committee agreed to go easy on Duffy once Nigel Wright gave $90,000 to Duffy to pay
his expenses. Now that same committee has been asked to review the matter again, along with expenses Duffy claimed for Senate business while apparently working on the party’s election campaign. Canadians may get more satisfaction from the RCMP’s review of the matter. Until the committee explains its editing of the report, its integrity is in question, adding to the cynicism with which Canadians regard the Red Chamber.

We are unique We are all as unique and as individual as God made us to be. We might all ‘look alike’ to some visitor from a galaxy far, far away, but each of us is aware, sometimes painfully so, of the characteristics that make us as different from one-another as is one grain of sand from its neighbour. Each of us experiences change in a unique and individual fashion. The forces of change might be part of our common experience, but our responses are as varied and as diverse as we are. Perhaps that’s an evolutionary necessity. Whatever the reason, we bend differently in the winds, we show wear and chafe uniquely, in the waves. We can manage the ways we respond to the forces that shape us. We can examine our lives in the company of others who wish to undertake examination too. We can take up our living with intention and ride the currents of change to a destination more of our choosing. Or we can roll along in the tidal flow. Whatever we do, interesting shapes will result. Chip and Dan Heath, in their book “How to Change Things When Change is Hard” write of change and the exploration of change in many fascinating ways. One that caught my attention had to do with the way some forms of therapeutic counselling are changing. They write of emergent practices that have one imagine what the world would look like if one were free of a particular burden, then to imagine one small sign that would herald that new existence. And then: “Can you remember a time when that small sign was present in your life?” Apparently most of us can. From there the structure of the future, firmly grounded in the memories of the past, can be built. From there a new response can be grown. A new response to the forces of change that may otherwise wear a more traumatic path in the one subjected to them. Building or growing a new response to the forces of change can be a challenging prospect. Even if we are able to imagine a different world, even if we are able to recall the memory of a time when the signs of that world existed. Even if we are able to call those signs into being, doing so can be a difficult and lonely prospect. It is, however, something that can be done in community. Perhaps a small community. A congenial, considerate, caring circle of friends. Ears that listen, hearts that hold, arms that bear, shoulders to weep on, eyes that smile and voices to sing with. Community that is accepting accountable, and aware. Community that listens with heart and mind. To my mind, it helps if the community is grounded in mutual care and a common understanding of unconditional love. A community one can relate to and be in relationship with. I wonder what the world would be like, if we were all part of communities like that?

Can Pope Francis bring Catholics home?
W
ill Pope Francis’s charismatic charm and concern for the poor be enough to bring Catholics home? Research surveys support what most people already know. Church attendance is declining and has been for decades. In Canada, 28% of Catholics attend Mass at least once a month, compared to 40 per cent in 2004. In the United States in 2012, 24 per cent of Catholics attended Mass at least once a week compared to 47% in 1974. While I have no idea what the stats are for Catholics in our little louise neck of the woods, I can certainly provide anecdotal evidence of declining church attendance. Everyday Theology I have sat through numerous meetings over the years grappling with dwindling finances that correlate with shrinking congregations, and listening to laments about the lack of young people in the pews. I am very familiar with church closings. In the last three decades, my family has belonged to three parishes, and our current parish church is slated for closure. The generalized lack of interest amongst baptized Catholics to practice the faith concerns bishops, priests, religious, pastoral councils, and parents alike. Dioceses are desperately trying to turn the tide through evangelizing already baptized Catholics. The Archdiocese of Vancouver, for example, launched a sophisticated advertising campaign called “Catholics Come Home” to entice Catholics back to church. Other dioceses are offering adult faith formation courses, and promoting hip youth programs. Catholics are opting out of institutional Catholicism for many reasons. Church teaching on sexuality, the treatment of women, and the clergy sexual abuse scandal are the most often cited reasons for leaving the Church. Francis has put the wheels in motion to deal with sexual abuse, although it remains to be seen how the Vatican will implement his directive to “act decisively”. We can expect Francis to hold the line on sexual issues, but we may see a more compassionate response to individuals who, in the eyes of the Church, don’t measure up to its high standards of sexual morality. With regard to women, Francis shocked some Catholics when he washed the feet of a woman in detention on Holy Thursday. Though this is a far cry from the ordination of women, it may signal a new attitude towards women not previously seen from the Vatican. The place where I believe Francis has a real chance for making inroads with Catholics and others is in his genuine concern for the poor. People see a huge disconnect between the suffering of the world’s poor and the wealth of the Vatican with its ostentatious pomp and ceremony. Even though thousands of religious and lay Catholics are walking with the poor, theological speeches about the poor disappoint when visible action is lacking from the Vatican: the credibility of the Church suffers. Our world needs authentic leaders. Catholic or otherwise, we want leaders who practice what they preach, and Francis seems to be doing just that. Will it be enough to bring Catholics home? Possibly not, but it may be enough to stop the bleed. Louise McEwan is a freelance religion writer with degrees in English and Theology. She has a background in education and faith formation.

as many plants as I had in my previous garden, so I had to reduce the inventory and bring only a sampling. Now, in this smaller garden, each plant holds much more meaning. I had quite a selection of tall bearded Iris scattered throughout my previous landscape which made it difficult to decide which one to bring. Ultimately, I think I chose wisely. There were no blooms after transplant last year but this spring I have been rewarded with the stunning white flowers of “Immortality”, a gift from our Kootenay Iris aficionado, Dorothy Beetstra. As it is my only iris at the moment, I appreciate it more than ever! Tall bearded irises are the stars of the iris world and the most common of all iris groups. They are defined by a height of 27 inches and up with a fuzzy protrusion on the falls or lower petal, called a beard. There are many, many colours and bloom-times vary through May and June depending on the variety. It seems the lighter ones bloom first and the darker ones follow. The pure white ‘Immortality’ is the first to bloom.. Most bearded irises are hardy to Zone 3 and do best when planted in dry soil with their rhizomes (resembling small elongated potatoes with roots) just above the surface where they can bask in the full sun. Diseases are very likely to occur if
the location is shaded or the soil is wet and poorly drained. Iris appreciate a feed of bonemeal scratched into their soil every spring but we are cautioned to avoid high nitrogen content as it will cause lush growth and render the plant more susceptible to bacterial soft rot. All iris are susceptible to soft rot – characterized by soft, rotting rhizomes – which can also occur when the rhizomes are accidentally cut open by careless digging, or attacked by the iris borer. If this happens, dig out the infected patch and discard them in the garbage; then plant the remaining rhizomes in a different spot. Despite these vulnerabilities, irises are generally a hardy breed and spread quickly, requiring little maintenance. After blooming, remove the flower stalks cleanly at the junction with
roots into the trenches and back fill with dirt. I’ve used this method and it makes planting very easy! Overgrown clumps of iris lose their vigour and should be divided every three or four years, immediately after they bloom. This gives us the wonderful opportunity to share with friends, just as Dorothy did. Unlike, the ‘gifts’ of invasive garden
plants like Lily of the Valley or mint, the tall bearded Iris can be accepted with appreciation for the beauty and joy it will provide for years to come. Patty Siddall and Betty Drover operate a local garden business and will share their expertise in the Trail Times every other Friday. Contact Siddall Drover Garden Services at 250-3641005

REGIONAL The proposed Shelter Bay development moved closer to breaking ground after an Official Community Plan amendment received final adoption by the Columbia– Shuswap Regional District last week.
COLOUR
TO WIN!
The large, 767-unit development has been in the planning stages for years and has been the subject of two open houses, one public hearing and has gone through all three readings and necessary government approvals. The amendment changes the Area B
Official Community Plan to allow for the type of mixed-use zoning planned for the Shelter Bay Lands located along Highway 23 north of the Shelter Bay ferry dock. For the next step, the property needs to be re-zoned. That will happen when a new
zoning bylaw is passed for all of Area B, hopefully later this year, said director Loni Parker. A staff report says, developer Ender Ilkay is looking to move forward on the first phase of the development by creating an eight-lot subdivision of one hectare lots.

Jumbo resort gives green light for lifts
THE NELSON STAR The Jumbo Glacier Resort in the East Kootenay has been given a green light to build lifts and a lodge. On Tuesday, Jumbo Mayor Greg Deck and the resort municipality’s council approved permits that allow ski lifts and a lodge of up to 150 rooms at the base of Farnham Glacier. “It allows the operator to use a lift on the glacier as opposed to a snow cat and allows for fixed roof accommodation,” Deck told CBC radio. The proposed $450-million high elevation glacier based ski resort west of Invermere is planned in three phases and will ultimately include 5,500 bed-units in a 104-hectare resort base area. It is projected to provide approximately 3,750 people years of construction employment and create 750 to 800 permanent full-time jobs.

BCHL
League ponders longer season
The Vernon Morning Star The B.C. Hockey League is considering a few tweaks to its scheduling as it heads into the 2013-14 season. Most notable is an increase from 56 to 58 regular-season games for the coming campaign. The finalized BCHL schedule will be announced in mid-June. The other issue under consideration is the league playoff format. Last season, Interior teams played two seven-game series to reach the Fred Page Cup final, while Coastal teams played two best-of-five sets, followed by a best-of-seven conference final to reach the Fred Page. Vernon Vipers’ head coach/GM Jason Williamson, who co-chairs the league coaches committee with Nanaimo Clippers’ bench boss Mike Vandekamp, said several revised playoff formats are being put forward for consideration by league governors at the AGM, June 6-8 in Richmond.

Street hockey takes on new format for May Days
FROM PAGE 1 Then, for a second year in a row, a 5-10 km family walk run begins at 8 p.m. in Haines Park and ends in the park, just before the fireworks begin at around 9:30 p.m. “There are some serious runners, but the walk is meant to get all our Beaver Valley residents involved in May Days,” said David Chartres, chairman of the organizing equipment. Saturday activities begin at 8 a.m. with the third annual May Days Antenna Trail hike, a must for the outdoor enthusiast and suitable for the family, said Chartres.
“Take your time to enjoy the views and sign in at the Flag Viewpoint to tell the world that you have reached the top.” For those wishing to fill up on flapjacks and sausage, a pancake breakfast will be open from 8-11 a.m on Saturday and Sunday. Next, the parade will begin at noon at the fire hall and travel on Columbia Gardens Road to the curling rink, followed by a luncheon hosted by the Fruitvale Christian Fellowship. Worth noting, is the showcase of performing arts on Saturday, which will be opened by the Trail
Pipe Band at 1 p.m. and extend into the evening, said organizer by Danielle Labelle. Magicians and clowns will be mingling with the crowd while performances by local dancers, singers, and musicians will be held on the stage. “We invite you to bring a lawn chair, enjoy a lunch from the vendors, and camp out for an afternoon of great entertainment,” added Labelle.

THE CANADIAN PRESS SASKATOON - Saskatoon Blades defenceman Dalton Thrower has played his last game at the MasterCard Memorial Cup. The Canadian Hockey League has suspended Thrower for the rest of the tournament for his check to the head on Portland Winterhawks forward Taylor Leier. Thrower hit Leier as he cut into the Blades’ zone in the first period of Portland’s 4-2 win on Wednesday night. A bloodied Leier lay motionless before being helped off the ice. There was no penalty called on the play. The six-foot, 197-pound Thrower was selected in the second round of last year’s NHL draft by the Montreal Canadiens. The 19-year-old from North Vancouver, B.C., had six goals, 21 assists and 89 penalty minutes in 54 games for the Blades this season. Leier, a 19-year-old fourth-round pick of the Philadelphia Flyers in 2012, had 27 goals and 35 assists in 64 games with Portland this season. The five-foot-11, 178-pound Saskatoon native has one goal and two assists at the Memorial Cup. The Blades met the London Knights in Thursday’s tiebreaker game (results unavailable at press time) with the winner moving on to face Portland in today’s semifinal.

She brought in snacks on her birthday to share, and not a single teacher ate any of them. She has tried asking other teachers for advice and has inquired about their families, but they act disinterested and make snide comments. My daughter is intelligent and has excellent social skills. She can see the oldest teacher is the ringleader of a group of bullies. What kind of example is this for teachers to set for the children? They should be mentoring a
discount for being part of a couple. Why is it $50 per couple but $30 for a single ticket? Why are single people asked to pay more? Shouldn’t everyone pay the same amount? Offering a discount to be part of a couple is sending the wrong message, especially to young people. I see this all the time for proms. Why aren’t advisers attuned to this subtle, hurtful discrimination against the student who doesn’t have a date? And please don’t suggest that two friends go together and get the discount. Why should they have to pair up to fit an antiquated pricing model? -- One Price for All Dear One Price: This isn’t intended to punish single people. It’s intended to sell more tickets. If buying two tickets costs less per ticket, people are more likely to purchase two, even if it means asking your grandmother’s next-door
neighbor’s uncle. And while we agree that school events should not favor couples, friends also buy these discounted tickets and go in a group. We are all in favor of that. Dear Annie: You told “Begging for Mummy and Daddy” to
avoid the “culture that contributes to your drug use,” meaning he should stay away from his pusher and friends who encourage it. That hint is too subtle for a drug user. You should have told him that leaving drugs in the bathroom
could get Mummy’s house confiscated. You should have told him to go to the library and use one of their computers to turn in his pusher anonymously. That is the only way for him to avoid drugs. -- A Very Disillusioned Old Man

While you can be a source of emotional support, this is your daughter’s battle. She can document instances of bullying and present it to the principal, but that may not be effective. She can avoid the bullies altogether or try to cozy up to the main bully, flattering her and telling her how important she is. She can attempt to make friends with one other teacher and have an ally.

The principal is terrific. However, there is an older teacher who has been at this school for years, and she is making my daughter’s life miserable. This teacher runs the show. My daughter quit going to the teachers lounge, because it was a place for gossiping about other teachers and parents and speaking negatively about the children. She was pulled into the principal’s office and informed that the other teachers found her “cold” and unsociable because she wasn’t going to the teachers lounge.

In Memoriam
In Memoriam
Our David, Our Dad October 27, 1954 - May 25, 2012
Your presence we cannot feel Your touch we cannot have Your voice we cannot hear Your face we cannot see But the memories of the love we shared with you, will help us never to forget what a wonderful man you were. You are missed more than our words can say and more than our hearts can feel. Much love to you, Myrna, David & Kim, Joey, Kelsey & Baby M, Ben & Kristin
Birthday remembrance of LTA’s sharing of life, love, friendship, and family pride; to be a joyful tomorrow, with our hearts full of yesterdays. (A short time away to their 60th anniversary.) Lorne softly whispered, “I love you,” to Verna, sealed with a kiss, only 3 evenings before he passed. He lived with no regrets, left nothing important to him unsaid or undone. Sincere thanks to all medical teams, paramedics, everyone’s caring and kind support along the way. –They know who they are– Lorne, happily remembered, always, only more sadly missed, by the way he died!
