J.L. Crowe drama students were shaking off last minute jitters as the final rehearsals for this year’s production of “Footloose” began earlier this week.
Crowe actors ready to kick up their heels in ‘Footloose’ Shows on Friday and Saturday at Charles Bailey Theatre BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
The J.L. Crowe Secondary drama players are kicking up their heels this weekend in an homage to a 1984 film classic. In the Charles Bailey Theatre on Friday and Saturday night, students from grades 9 through 12 will be performing dance and musical numbers in a stage production of “Footloose.” “Footloose” is an American musical-drama story about Ren McCormack, an upbeat Chicago teen who moves to a small town in the middle of nowhere, called Bomont. Dancing and rock music have been banned by a local minister, Reverend Shaw Moore, but McCormack's rebellious spirit shakes things up and brings back the funk. Although the original movie is almost 30 years old, a remake was released in 2011 and
re-energized the story for today's youth. “I had wanted to direct “Footloose” for many years but was waiting for the right time, the right group of kids, and the right production team,” said drama teacher Tanya LaFond. Teacher Jason Whitley and a crew of creative students have been busy filming scenes for the intro and a video montage that promises heart warming shots of slow-witted cowboy and lead character Willard Hewitt, who is learning to dance. “We filmed until sunset and are now in the process of editing to get it all down,” said Whitley. As the high energy evening progresses, the audience can expect to see some lively dance numbers and a few familiar faces, hinted LaFond. Seasoned drama player, Grade 12 student Steel Cole, will reprise the lead role, Ren, in what he said will be his last performance. See SHOW, Page 3

The afternoon was filled with chatter and laughter as 150 of Trail’s finest gathered in the Cominco Gym on Wednesday to be honoured at the annual City of Trail’s Civic Reception. The civic ceremony recognizes Trail’s pioneers and old-timers and native sons and daughters. The afternoon began with a welcome from Mayor Dieter Bogs, a greeting from Miss Trail and her princess; and a few words of wisdom from Trail-Warfield Citizen of the Year, octogenarian Don Nutini, “We are fortunate to be here in such a great city,” said Nutini. “This ceremony gives us opportunity to chat and reminisce about the great times we’ve had in the past,” he said. “And the good times of the present.” For one honouree, 101-year-old Nora Switzer, each year she looks forward to the gathering, however she said she does miss one thing. “I have been coming to the civic reception for many, many years,” she said. “But when it all first started they used to send us lovely invitations in the mail. They don’t anymore and I miss that part of it.” After refreshments which included layered tea sandwiches, sweets and fresh fruit, Switzer offered sage advise to up-and-comers. “My secret is that I ate well and exercised all my life,” she said. “And I have always been very happy in Trail, I enjoy my life here.”

Salmo
Village tackles unsightly premises bylaw By Sheri Regnier
Bridge cleaning
“Because remedial action cannot be delegated to staff for unsightly premises the person should have a chance to be heard,” explained Coun. Merle Hanson. “As such, council will then make the decisions.” If all these steps fail, the village can effect cleanup and add the expense of ensuing work to the property taxes, said Sommerville. “Residents can expect that properties which take away from the well being of the community will be dealt with.” Further, property owners will not just be fined, but the village will be able to conduct clean up and bill the owner for the work. “Most of this bylaw is about going in and cleaning up,” said Sommerville. The person is given three weeks to complete the clean up, and if not compliant, a report is given to council, he said. “At that point, council may pass a resolution to allow a further three weeks, and the process will continue from there.” After lengthy discussion, Salmo council gave the updated bylaw its first reading on Tuesday night.
Times Staff
The Village of Salmo is giving its unsightly premises bylaw a major overhaul. Basically, once bylaw 649 is adopted, the responsibility of unkempt property will be taken from the government's hands and placed squarely into the village's. “The old bylaw was based on the local government act,” said Scott Sommerville, chief administrative officer. “The new bylaw will be based on the Community Charter.” In other words, the current bylaw does not outline the procedure for allowing the property owner an opportunity to be heard (procedural fairness) or council to pass a resolution to enforce remedial action. The old bylaw required enforcement under the Offence Act of BC, and the new bylaw will be enforced by municipal ticketing and remedial action, Sommerville explained. Once the new bylaw is adopted, residents can expect a process whereby complaints will prompt an inspection; letter to the property owner; and report to council.

Boundary animal control officers resign By Sascha Porteus
As a result, the RDKB is looking for someone to fill the shoes of Richard Smith and John Jansezian as of last Saturday, said Elaine Kumar, RDKB director of corporate administration. Kumar said that they have been harassed by residents throughout the Boundary. “They have been spit on, called names and threats have been left,” said Kumar. Mayor Brian Taylor, who was once an animal control officer as well, said emotional outbursts from concerned pet lovers have always been part and parcel of the job.

The Boundary animal control officers have terminated their contract with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB).
Show caps off months of rehearsing FROM PAGE 1 “Maybe some day I will try something like this again,” he said. “Preparing for the show is nerve-racking, and after I am just going to graduate and enjoy my summer.” Isaac Meyer, who portrays the puritanical Reverend Shaw, will graduate next week, but said that performing will be a part of his life for a long time to come as he plans a move to Vancouver to pursue the arts. Stretching his character is what he likes best, and “Footloose” has given Meyer the chance to showcase his talents. “Mrs LaFond has jokingly said that she typecast me,” he said. “But actually I am very different from the Reverend, he’s serious, I’m goofy.” The finale culminates months of rehearsing songs and choreography for the 35 students taking part. “My favourite part is the big dance celebration to close the show,” said Naomi Spooner, who plays the female lead part of Ariel Moore. Take note 1980’s song buffs, renditions of familiar classics such as Holding Out for a Hero and Almost Paradise could well up a nostalgic tear or two. Tickets are $15 and on sale now at the box office, show begins at 7 p.m. both nights.

Clark to seek seat in Westside-Kelowna by-election BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Premier Christy Clark will run in Westside-Kelowna in a by-election expected to be held in midJuly, after re-elected MLA Ben Stewart announced he was stepping down. Clark praised
Stewart Wednesday at an announcement held at Quail’s Gate winery on the shore of Okanagan Lake. Stewart, who won with 58 per cent of the vote, said he would return to running the winery and other parts of his family business, and will continue to
volunteer for the B.C. Liberal Party. Clark said the byelection will likely be called next week, and if she wins the seat she will establish a second residence in the area. She dubbed the Kelowna area “the cradle of free enter-
prise in Canada,” and noted it was represented by former premiers W.A.C. and Bill Bennett, whom she called the “Bobby Orr and Wayne Gretzky” of B.C. political leaders. “When you think of the vision that W.A.C. Bennett brought to

independent MLA Vicki Huntington. Clark reiterated her campaign promises to balance the budget and begin paying down the provincial debt, with a 15-year target to become debt free. She has indicated the legislature will be recalled this summer to pass the budget that was presented in February, which forecasts budget surpluses for the next three years.

Man appeals $800,000 fine
THE CANADIAN PRESS WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. - A Cariboo-area man who was fined more than $860,000 for starting a wildfire while camping on his own property is appealing the penalty. According to documents filed with the provincial Forest Appeals Commission, Robert Unger was determined to be responsible for a wildfire that began on his property and spread to Crown land. “...Mr. Unger lit a campfire on land he owned, when it was unsafe to do so, and he failed to establish a fuel break around the fire,” the documents said. “The fire escaped and caused a wildfire, and the ministry responded to the wildfire.” Unger’s land was not in an area covered by a fire department, the decision noted. In May 2011, Darrell Orosz, the manager of the Cariboo Fire Centre, issued a decision ordering Unger to pay the costs of fighting the fire. Orosz noted that he did not order Unger to pay compensation to the province for damage to public property, which is possible under provincial laws. Unger asked for a review and the same fire centre manager determined - again - that Unger should pay.

Orosz acknowledged that Unger did not wilfully cause the fire, but said that alone does not preclude payment of costs. The ability to pay is not a factor in a decision, he wrote. “I have considered ability to pay but conclude that the legislature could not have intended ability to pay to be a valid consideration, since in many cases, and certainly in the most serious cases, the government’s fire control costs will be beyond the ability of most persons to pay, in the absence of adequate insurance coverage,” he wrote in the original decision. Patrick Vert, a spokesman for the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, which includes the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch, said the ministry is limited in what it can say about an individual case, but that humans cause almost half the wildfires in B.C. every year. “When a wildfire is caused by a human, there may be an investigation of the fire,” Vert said in an email response. The Wildfire Act allows the province to recover wildfire suppression costs or damages from people deemed responsible, he said. Unger’s appeal to the commission is scheduled to be heard later this month.

THE CANADIAN PRESS NANAIMO, B.C. - Officials in Nanaimo intend to seek an injunction to halt protesters vowing to interfere with removal of two aging dams in a popular park in that Vancouver Island city. The city has filed court documents asking a judge to prevent anyone from impeding the removal of the dams in Colliery Dam. The structures, officially known as the middle and lower Chase dams, were constructed more than 100 years ago as part of coal mining operations in Nanaimo’s south end, but the pools have become beloved
swimming holes, and the centrepiece of Colliery Dam Park. Protesters warn they will use civil disobedience to stop the removal, fearing the city will not replace the dams if permits for reconstruction aren’t ready before the original structures come down. Details contained in Nanaimo’s injunction application reveal a tender for the work will be issued within days and both dams will be removed in July. The injunction application is expected to be heard in B.C. Supreme Court in Nanaimo on June 10.

Saskatchewan Government Insurance wants to install telematics devices on the bikes Briefs of several hundred volunteers. The device records driving information such as speed, braking, mileage and location. SGI had proposed a rate hike earlier this year that would have seen insurance costs for motorcycles go up by an average of 73 per cent. Anger from motorcyclists pressured SGI to cap the increase and look at other options for rate changes. SGI says the pilot program is only about gathering information. and no rates will be affected during that time.

Trudeau proposes lifting veil on expenses
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Justin Trudeau is proposing a four-point plan to lift the veil of secrecy shrouding the expenses of Canada’s MPs and senators. The Liberal leader says his plan would make parliamentarians’ expenses more transparent than ever before - and make them more accountable for how they spend taxpayer dollars. Trudeau says the measures are necessary to restore the faith of Canadians in public office holders, which has been badly shaken by the Senate expenses scandal. His plan would require all MPs and senators to post quarterly details of their
travel and hospitality expenses on public websites, as cabinet ministers already do. Liberals will begin posting their expenses in the fall; Trudeau hopes other parties will follow suit. Trudeau’s initiative comes as the Senate prepares to debate a motion to call in auditor general Michael Ferguson to scrutinize all expenses in the unelected upper chamber. His other proposals would require the support of other parties to implement: - Opening up meetings of the secretive board of internal economy, which oversees House of Commons spending; - Requiring detailed,
Suicide rates high: study Name change for French CBC THE CANADIAN PRESS
IQALUIT, Nunavut - The biggest study ever done into the risk factors for Nunavut’s high suicides rates is revealing the depth of mental health problems in the territory. Nunavut’s suicide rate is 10 times the Canadian average and much higher than that for young men The study found that nearly two-thirds of 120 Inuit who killed themselves between 2003 and 2006 had suffered from major depression. It also found that about one-quarter of Inuit in a control group had also been severely depressed. That’s three times the average Canadian rate of about eight per cent. The study, which analyzed the life histories of suicide victims and compared them with a control group, found the victims were more likely to have suffered child sexual abuse and to have had a wide range of personality disorders. DOLBY 7.1 SURROUND SOUND
THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - The French-language CBC has announced plans to change its name. Radio-Canada will lose the words, “radio,” and, “Canada.” Instead, the federally funded broadcaster will be known in French by the name “ICI” - which means “here,” in French. Founded in 1936, the institution says the brand change will allow for greater uniformity. Its different platforms currently carry a hodgepodge of names. Now its different platforms will all contain the word “ICI.”

J
ust a few weeks ago, proponents of pipelines between the Prairies and the West Coast were preparing for the worst. Adrian Dix, the apparently victory-bound leader of the B.C. NDP, had already declared Enbridge’s Northern Gateway would be dead on his watch and, mid-election, pronounced a similar sentence on Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion plans. The subsequent Liberal upset victory, which many analysts attribute to the NDP’s fervent opposition to wealth-creating pipelines, has given the Northern Gateway project a partial reprieve. But despite strong federal backing, the project hangs by a thread. In fact, the B.C. government has recently expressed its opposition to the proposal. But it is First Nations along the pipeline route that hold the hammer on this project. If they remain opposed to the Enbridge proposal or to the idea of energy corridors to the coast, no pipeline will be built. Full stop. First Nations have primary social and cultural standing in this debate. If they cannot be convinced that the pipeline serves their interests and provides adequate
environmental protection, the project is not going to proceed. Equally important, First Nations have growing legal clout, best embodied in the Supreme Court recognition of the government’s duty to consult and accommodate aboriginal interests, which could hold up construction indefinitely. With strong aboriginal support, however, much becomes possible. The most intense environmental activists will oppose Northern Gateway, no matter what. More practical environmentalists and conservationists, including the B.C. public, realize that resource development can be properly and safely managed. First Nations’ support, with its environmental credibility, would likely weigh heavily with them. With aboriginal backing, we think a majority of British Columbians can be brought on board. The First Nations’ power over development arises out of a complex web of unresolved land claims, legal victories, constitutional recognition of aboriginal rights, and indigenous self-government. Aboriginal Canadians are now indispensable partners in resource development –

including major infrastructure – and this reality is not going to change. Nor is this a bad thing. Most First Nations are supportive of development, provided it proceeds on their terms and with appropriate returns in the form of jobs, revenue and business creation. There are dozens of major projects underway across the country in real partnership with First Nations, bringing substantial benefits to local communities, Canadian business and the national economy. How will this work for Northern Gateway? Some First Nations along the pipeline route, including the Haisla on whose traditional lands the Kitimat terminus is located, are willing to proceed with properly managed development projects. First Nations along the route will have to agree
to participate in Northern Gateway, ideally as equity partners (the Enbridge proposal includes 10-per-cent aboriginal equity ownership). In addition to equity participation, a proper arrangement would involve a commitment to the world’s highest standards for environmental protection along the corridor and on the coast, plus arrangements for aboriginal business development and job training, and sustained revenues for First Nations communities. Assuming Northern Gateway gets suitable environmental and regulatory approval from the current Joint Review Process, a new approach to First Nations participation will still be needed. That almost certainly means more substantial equity ownership (not least because the equity must be shared among so many First Nations) and aboriginal involvement in environmental and project management and oversight. First Nations must be assured that they will be primary beneficiaries from a project that crosses their lands, bringing opportunity and employment instead of the unregulated socio-economic change and environmental risk they too often
experienced in the past. The way we develop resources in Canada is changing profoundly. Like it or not, Northern Gateway is a symbol for the new order. The project’s current trajectory stokes vigorous aboriginal opposition that alone could be enough to stall or even kill a project that could create vast wealth for Canadians. A much better outcome is possible, one that meets the objections of most who oppose the project on environmental grounds and that assures aboriginal people of sustained and long-term benefits from the construction and operation of the pipeline. Northern Gateway could, with political will and openness to new arrangements, be transformed from a symbol of the new-found power of aboriginal people to stop vital national projects into a model of the real partnerships that henceforth will be the indispensable key to responsible resource development in Canada.

Great customer service appreciated
Recently I drove up from Vancouver to visit my family in Rossland. Upon arriving I realized my rear tail light and turn signal had burnt out. I had not brought any tools with me so I proceeded to the
car dealership in Trail, without an appointment, and told them of my problem. The manager directed me to a parking spot, brought out a mechanic who removed the tail light and replaced the bulb
on the spot. I asked "what do I owe you"? They said "Have a nice day.” A much appreciated gesture. Bruce Kinghorn Tsawwassen B.C.

ever course it sees suitable to safeguard its share.” The postrevolutionary Egyptian government cannot afford to be less firm in defending Egypt’s interests. The issue will probably be kicked down the road for a couple of years, because the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam will not be completed until 2015 at the earliest. But there is big trouble for Egypt (and Sudan) further down the road. By 2025, a dozen years from now, Egypt will be trying to feed 96 million people, which would be very hard even with its existing giant’s share of the Nile’s water and all its current food imports. The countries that signed the Cooperative Framework Agreement will have 300 million people, so by then they will also be extracting very large amounts of water from the Nile Basin for irrigation. Without that water, Egypt’s only options are beggaring itself with massive food imports (until the foreign exchange runs out), or famine. Unless, of course, it decides on war – but its options are not very good on that front either. Not only are the upstream countries a very long way from Egypt (the Nile is the world’s longest river), but they will have strong support from China, which is financing most of the dams they are now building or planning. Egypt, by contrast, has repudiated its former American ally, and may find that the US is reluctant to re-engage even if the government in Cairo can overcome its own distaste for Washington. Why would the United States want a confrontation with China over Egypt? So there probably won’t be a war. And Egypt will probably face an apocalyptic food shortage in 10 or fifteen years.

Feb. 25,1950-June 2, 2013 Shayne died suddenly on June 2nd at Trail Regional Hospital with his family and many friends by his side. He was born in Trail and was a resident of Fruitvale at the time of his death. He was predeceased by his father Geordy, his mother Ruby, and his father in-law Tony Amoroso. He is survived by his loving wife, Sharlaine, of 41years, his son Braeden (Melina Black), and his 4
sisters, Beverly Ahyee, Georgette Black, Georgena (Ancil Dunbar), and Joyce Black. Also by 11 nieces and nephews, and 10 grand nieces and nephews. Shayne had a huge passion for the outdoors, fishing, hunting, and camping and was happiest when sitting in his boat on the water, or sleeping in the woods. He was the owner/operator of All Star Carpet Care for 21 years. His customers high regard for him was a reflection of the quality of service he gave. He had the ability to make friends wherever he went. To those that knew him he was an uncle, to any that needed him he was a father. He had a deep love for his family, his many friends but his greatest love was for his God, Jehovah. He worked tirelessly as an elder for the brothers and sisters in the Beaver Valley Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. His loving personality was molded by his love, trust, and faith in Jehovah. He gained strength from knowing Jehovah as his personal friend. He was a husband, a father, a son, a brother, and a friend who will be greatly missed by all. We will all miss his goofy sense of humor and his laughter. We would like to extend a special thanks to both the ER and ICU staff of Trail for their exceptional and dignified care of Shayne. A special thank you to Dr. Peachell and Dr. Mountain for their extraordinary compassion and care for Shayne and his family. A memorial service will be held at the Cominco Gym on Saturday June 8, 2013 at 3:00pm, everyone welcome. *** SEIFRIT, GREG (ORY) BRENT — It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Greg (ory) Brent Seifrit, born December 24, 1953 passing June 3rd, 2013 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Rest in Peace dear Don. Your troubles are over.
was the driving force behind the Pearl of Africa Series. The series saw a team of Langley baseball players — aged 11 and 12 — who had represented Canada at the Little League World Series. They were scheduled to play Uganda, but the African champions were denied entry into the United States due to some discrepancies with their visas and paperwork. The Pearl of Africa Series raised enough money to send the Langley baseball team to Uganda for a week in January 2012 to not only play that game, but to help grow and establish the sport. It was also made into a Sportsnet documentary, Fair Ball, which shared the story. And after seeing the documentary, Alberta’s Janice Miller was so touched by its message, she decided to nominate Hoffman and the team for the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award. Governor General David Johnston was at the Township of Langley’s Fraser River Presentation Theatre on Monday afternoon to present the awards to Hoffman, thee players, coaches Dean Cantelon, Rick Burns, team co-ordinator Christine Ens, and umpires Chuck Dufton and Ed Levinson. The award was created in 1995 to recognize the “unsung heroes of our country,” Johnston told the audience. The Caring Canadian Award recognizes those who volunteer their time and efforts to help others build a smarter and more caring nation. “As Governor General, I consider it a great privilege to recognize members of this team and those who supported them,” Johnston said. “On behalf of all Canadians, thank you for your caring and kindness.” Colby Ring, who spoke to the audience on behalf of his teammates, said it was a lifechanging experience which changed the players forever. “We went to Uganda … to play a game of baseball, little did we know that our experience was not only about baseball, but about life lessons and outlooks and especially making life-long friendships,” he said. He said that they think daily about what they saw over that week and who they met. “Uganda is a poor country but rich in many ways,” he said. “Going there taught all of us how lucky we are, even if we sometimes forget. “They have a special place in our hearts; they changed us forever (and) I hope they know how much they have given us. “They have given us so much more than the bats, the balls, the shoes, the stuff that we gave them. “We miss them and thank them.” Hoffman said that the trip — which included former Major League Baseball players Gregg Zaun and Derrek Lee, as well as the Philadelphia Phillies’ Jimmy Rollins — left a lasting impression. “It showed thousands of kids in Uganda that others care,” Hoffman said. “And when kids feel this kind of caring, they develop self-confidence and start believing in themselves.” Miller, who nominated the team for the award, was also at Monday’s presentation. “I thought they were probably the best ambassadors we could have asked for,” she said.

already started to leak or past experience has shown the seals will not last until the timing belt is worn out for the second time. Seal replacement when the timing belt is already removed may not take a lot of extra time. Seals are usually not expensive components. The water pump in many engine designs is also driven by the timing belt. A failing water pump will leak engine coolant on the timing belt again resulting in premature failure. Visual inspection or previous experience may make your technician suggest water pump replacement together with the timing belt. Again this procedure may only add a small amount of time to the timing belt job and again prevent doing the job a second time before the second timing belt is due to be replaced. Along with the camshaft gear or gears, and the crankshaft gear there will be a timing belt tensioning device as well as one or more idler pulleys that position and guide the belt as required. Many times these components should be
replaced during timing belt replacement. This list may seem long and it is. Last but not least one or more accessory drive belts will be removed in the process of accessing the timing belt. Replacement at this time is only the cost of a new belt. Many parts manufacturers offer so called timing belt kits that include all the parts that I have written about less the seals. Again these kits represent good value to the customer as opposed to buying all the parts individually. Altogether this timing belt job adds up to a very significant expenditure. But if your vehicle gets you breakdown free to the first timing belt replacement at 160 000 kilometres and you are thinking another 160 000 trouble free kilometres is what you desire, your mechanic may be enabling you to do just that.

Elementary school track meet a hit at Haley BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
The sun and all participating athletes shone brightly at the School District 20 elementary school track and field meet at Haley Park on Tuesday. About 250 athletes from eight schools participated in the annual event with lots of parent and student volunteers ensuring the meet ran like clockwork. “The weather was perfect. The track was fast as 16 records were broken, 10 of them on the track,” said organizer and Fruitvale Elementary School teacher Brian Baldwin in an email.
The meet ran the longer events like the 800-metre and 1,500-m. races a week earlier to leave enough time for the 100 or so events organizers had to run on Tuesday. Fruitvale’s Macy Verigin set two records for Grade-5 girls in the 400 metre and the high jump, while school mate Josh Mason broke three records for Grade-4 boys in the 100-m, 800-m, and 4x100 relay. Mason also won first in the long jump and took the overall individual award for Grade-4 boys. Glenmerry’s Megan Caron took top honours in Grade-4 girls, while Simon

Jackson Konklin of St. Michaels and Josh Fogul of Kinnaird tied for top boys award in Grade 7, while Glenmerry’s Emma Caron won it in the girls division.

BY TIMES STAFF The Salmon Arm SilverBacks officially announced the hiring of former Trail Smoke Eater director of marketing and play-by-play broadcaster Chris Wahl Friday. Wahl, 28, joins the SilverBacks after two seasons with the Smoke Eaters. He was named Trail’s director of marketing in May 2012, and became a regular Smoke Eater contributor to the Trail Times last season with his “Off the Wahl” editorials. “Leaving Trail, and for a division rival to boot, was certainly a difficult decision,” Wahl said in his blog last week. “Smoke Eaters fans should definitely be excited about next season: there are some terrific players, and terrific young men set to don the orange and black in 2013-14 and they deserve your support.” Before his time in Trail, Wahl called games for the KIJHL’s Castlegar Rebels for two seasons. Known for his enthusiastic and knowledgable commentary, Wahl, enjoyed his time with Smoke Eaters, but simply found a better opportunity. “Obviously money is part of it, but (he has) the opportunity also to broadcast all 58 games on the radio up in Salmon Arm,” said Trail president Tom Gawryletz at the AGM last month. Wahl joins a SilverBack team that narrowly beat out the Smoke Eaters for the final playoff spot in the BCHL Interior division last season. “I’m very excited to be joining a quality organization in Salmon Arm,” Wahl told the Salmon Arm Observer. “During my travels with the Smoke Eaters, the Shaw Centre stood out as a lively, well-supported atmosphere and I can’t wait to help build on that strong foundation heading into the 2013-14 season.” The SilverBacks recently announced the sale of the team to Alberta businessman and Trailborn Dale Unruh. However, Troy Mick continues his role as coach and GM as well as a strong minority owner. “We are very excited to announce that Chris Wahl has joined the SilverBacks hockey club . . . Walzy, as he is known through the BCHL circles, is a young, energetic, passionate people person who will be a great addition to our team,” said Mick. “We wanted to combine both the marketing and play-by-play positions this year to streamline our operations, and Chris’s resumé rose to the top of the applicants because of his knowledge of the BCHL and his proven professionalism within the league.” Wahl relocated to Salmon Arm in time to start his duties with the team on May 27.

Campese hires former Ice coach By Trevor Crawley
Cranbrook Daily Townsman
Cory Clouston is back in the WHL. The former Kootenay Ice assistant coach and bench boss has signed a two-year contract with the Prince Albert Raiders Monday afternoon. Clouston takes over from Steve Young, who was fired at the end of April following an early playoff exit by the Raiders GM Bruno Campese, a former Trail Smoke Eaters coach. “We are excited to have Cory join our team,” said Campese, in a press release. “He brings experience from different levels and has a proven track record of winning. Cory’s work ethic is second to none and very disciplined in his approach.” Clouston has extensive experience in the WHL with the Kootenay Ice and the Brandon Wheat Kings, starting in Cranbrook as an assistant coach to Ryan McGill in 1999. Two years later, he took over the head coaching job when McGill went pro in the AHL.
In five years, Clouston took the Ice to the WHL conference finals and became the winningest coach in franchise history, however, McGill, back for his second tenure, has caught up to and tied his record of 209 wins. Clouston took WHL coach of the year honours in 2004-5 and 2006-07, and captured the CHL version of the award the first time around. Clouston graduated to the AHL in 2008-09, and coached the Binghampton Senators before moving up to their parent club in the NHL for two years in Ottawa. He’s also made his mark in international hockey, winning a gold medal with Team Canada in the 2005 U18 World Championships, and earning the same hardware the following year as a head coach. “I am very excited,” said Clouston. “I look forward to getting to know the players, working with hockey staff and becoming a part of a community that has such a strong hockey tradition.”

Canada poised to advance THE CANADIAN PRESS TEMUCO, Chile - Canada is one win away from winning promotion to the top tier of under-20 world rugby. The Canadian under-20 men defeated Uruguay 36-15 on Wednesday to finish atop Pool B at the second-tier IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy. Canada will play Italy in Sunday’s final at the Estadio German Becker. The winner earns promotion to the elite IRB Junior World Championship, which features the top 12 teams. Coached by Mike Shelley, Canada opened the eight-team tournament in Chile defeating Tonga 24-6 and Japan 39-15. The Italians edged Namibia 23-21 Wednesday to improve to 3-0. Italy was relegated from the IRB Junior World Championship last year after finishing 12th and last. Canada finished fifth last year at the World Rugby Trophy and was fourth in 2011 and fifth in 2010.

Separate parents’ behaviour from husband’s reputation Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
Is there some way to remind his family that he is indeed an adult and has certainly earned the right to be treated like one? -Proud Military Spouse Dear Spouse: It is difficult to change ingrained behavior without the cooperation of all the people involved. Your husband apparently has determined that the best way to handle his parents is to leave things as they are. That is his choice. While we appreciate your desire to be supportive and protective, you might also be adding to his stress because your reaction is one of anger and embarrassment.
are using titles when addressing an envelope, it would depend on whether it is formal (“Dr. Jane Smith and Dr. Joe Smith”) or informal (“The Doctors Smith”), and whether she is retaining her maiden name (“Dr. Jane Doe” and “Dr. Joe Smith” on separate lines). If she is hyphenating her name, find out whether she prefers “Dr. Jane DoeSmith” or “Dr. Jane Smith-Doe” and use that. When in doubt, ask what the preference is. Dear Annie: I could identify with the letter from “California,” who found out after 40 years of marriage that her husband had been cheating on her with prostitutes for the past two decades. She was unsure of what to do next. I, too, had a husband who cheated on me for 20 years. His conquests were also often prostitutes. After 35 years of marriage and five
kids, I gathered up all of my courage and filed for divorce. It was the most difficult thing I have ever done. Fast-forward four years. I am a gainfully employed, personally fulfilled and happy community volunteer who is dating a sweet,
kind 65-year-old widower. This man loves, cherishes and respects me in ways I never thought possible. I feel like a queen! I may live three more years or 30, but I will never regret making the change I did. Remember that no one
can go back and make a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. -- Heart Full of Joy in Pennsylvania Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

Ask your husband whether he wants you to talk to his parents. If he says no, we urge you to separate their behavior from your husband’s reputation. His patient tolerance of their inappropriateness says many positive things about the strength of his character. Dear Annie: My nephew, “Joe Smith,” has a Ph.D. He is marrying “Jane Doe,” who will soon have her M.D. What is the proper form of address for her? Would she be Dr. Jane Doe-Smith or Ms. Jane Doe-Smith or something else? When I address an envelope to both of them, do I write Dr. and Dr. Joe Smith or Dr. and Mrs. Joe Smith or The Doctors Joe and Jane Smith? It is difficult to be politically correct these days. -- S. Dear S.: It’s complicated, but not impossible. When introducing either of them, always use “Dr.” If you

Dear Annie: My husband is a high-ranking officer in the military. He has worked hard to achieve his current position and is highly respected. The problem is, his family treats him like a child. In a few months, there will be a formal ceremony to mark his change of command. My in-laws will be in attendance, and they are certain to embarrass him. They insist on calling him by his unusual childhood nickname (he cringes every time). They talk down to him and give him gifts meant for children, such as books for teen boys (last Christmas), a small child’s backpack (last birthday) and now a child’s piggy bank, which they intend to present to him in front of his unit at the ceremony. These gifts are not intended as jokes. My husband is always gracious on the outside but horrified on the inside.

Try to avoid arguments and accept support that is offered. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good day to plan important ventures with partners and close friends. Nevertheless, an argument about belief systems or travel plans might occur in the day. Just let this pass. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a strong day for you. Although you might dispute shared property, taxes and debt with someone, you can make headway in your job and perhaps boost your earnings. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be patient with partners and close friends today. Travel plans related to

Perhaps your research will dig up something that is threatening to someone? Go gently. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Advice from someone older can help you today, especially in a group. Avoid disputes with romantic partners and children. Demonstrate grace under pressure. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You have ideas about how to do your job or promote your earnings, which someone might oppose. It looks like you should stick to your guns and trust your own judgment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is an excellent day to study or research something, because you have good pow-
ers of concentration. Don’t let a dispute with someone hamper your progress. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You can make great strides in tackling red-tape matters related to inheritances, taxes, debt and insurance matters today. Nevertheless, disputes about these issues could arise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Discussions with others
will be practical and helpful today. Someone might offer you assistance. In turn, this could cause an argument with a third party. Tread carefully. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You can get a lot done at work today, because your mind is focused and ready to pay attention to details. Choose routine work that requires concentration. Expect a few interruptions.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Discussions about sports, vacations and the care and education of children will be practical and productive today.
