Crowe to host Youth Empowerment Summit

RIDE ‘EM COWBOY

Inspiring workshops for teens BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

Former Harlem Globetrotters' player Lefty Williams will be bringing his message of Dare 2 Dream to local youth Wednesday. He is one of the guest speakers lined up for J. L. Crowe Secondary School's first Youth Empowerment Summit, a half-day workshop for about 700 grades 8-11 students in Greater Trail. “He grew up in the slums of L.A., in the ghetto there, so he's coming to talk to the boys about empowerment, vision and to dare to dream and look beyond what you can achieve,” explained student counsellor Loretta Jones. Many of the topics he will touch on include: substance and alcohol abuse, child abuse, HIV/ AIDS, setting and achieving goals, peer education and mentorship, higher education and healthy lifestyles. The boys, who will gather at the Crowe gym, will also hear from Daniel Vecchio on genderbased violence, abuse and the pressure for boys to conform to the unwritten code of being a male; while therapist Chris Gibson of the Take a Hike Foundation will bring an un-biased presentation on drugs and alcohol and area resident Ian Lockey, member of the Canadian Paralympic team for Sochi 2014, will engage the boys on attitude and believing in yourself. “I'm looking at positive school climate – that's my whole goal with this is to improve the culture and climate of J. L. Crowe,” said Jones. The girls have lined up Kate Whitfield of FearlesslyGirl to host their workshop held at the Trail Memorial Centre's gymnasium. Her presentation offers leadership training for the senior girls, who mentor the younger girls throughout the inspiring and empowering workshop. It's designed to give girls the tools to navigate pressures, expectations, mean girls, groups, cliques, friendships and the girl world fearlessly, while creating a kinder, more supportive school climate. Grade 10 students Matthew McConnachie and James Fike and Grade 11 Andrea Bedin are among the youth who stepped up to help plan the summit, providing feedback on what subjects their peers are interested in. Rossland's grades 8 and 9 students will be coming down the hill to take part in the summit, which Fike hopes will diminish any false pretences the Trail high school carries. See SUMMIT, Page 3

Fears eased slightly as alleged robbers caught Suspects return to court on Wednesday BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

“Hopefully that’s it.” Those words of cautious optimism were said by Dean Civitarese, director of risk management for all 13 branches of Kootenay Savings Credit Union (KSCU) in response to the apprehension and arrest of two alleged suspects following

an armed bank robbery in Nelson Friday afternoon. Two local credit union branches, one in Salmo, the other in Castlegar, were also hit earlier this year by an armed robber who escaped with an undisclosed amount of cash. “Stress levels I am sure are down a bit,” he said. “What will make people feel a lot more comfortable, I imagine, is confirmation whether we are talking about the same people.

“That’s what everyone is waiting to hear.” Charged with one count each of robbery are Andrew Stevenson and Krista Kalmikoff, the two suspects in Friday’s armed robbery of the Nelson and District Credit Union. According to the Nelson Star, Stevenson, 33, was not in court for Monday’s court proceeding, due to the injuries he suffered while See SUSPECT, Page 3

Local art teacher’s work on display By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

Joost Winckers is a high school art instructor who understands the best way to teach students is by example. The 20-year art teacher only recently picked up his own brushes and reawakened his talent by putting paint to canvas after years of instructing teenaged students left him little time to practise the craft. He was inspired to start painting by Jenny Baillie, a well-known Rossland artist who challenged him to once again pursue his passion for personal artistic expression. “I haven’t turned back since,” said Winckers. “And I found it added to my teaching as I better understood the process I was asking of my students,” he explained. “In turn, I think it illustrated to them that I practised what I preached.” Winckers’ first showing in Trail is currently at the VISAC Gallery until May 14 and includes a vibrant selection of 15 mixed media works and ceramic sculptures. His art pieces are inspired by the beauty of the Kootenays, Canadian artists such as Larwen Harris and Emily Carr, and most recently, by street graffiti and working with text in art. “So words creep

their way into my art now too,” he said. Whether Winckers is painting, stencilling or working with clay, each piece holds intricate details that take time to perfect. “Some of the stencil stuff happens quickly,” he noted. “While some of the more realistic effects take time and energy to achieve the look I am going for. “I think my art is fairly eclectic, with a good mix of realism and stylization.” The display of Joost’s personal work provides a unique opportunity for the community to appreciate the beautiful art work of a much loved teacher, said Ursula Abresch, VISAC

He has gained admiration and respect from his students the last seven months, in particular Grade 12 student Griffin Redman. “This is my first year taking an art class,” said Redman. “I couldn’t even draw a stick figure in the beginning,” he continued, “but Mr. Winckers really focuses on letting you design through your own creative process, which has influenced and also improved my composition ideas in

Suspect Annual event remembers fallen workers injured tying to flee police Day of Mourning

By Valerie Rossi Times Staff

FROM PAGE 1 trying to escape custody. Kalmikoff, 26, was in court and will remain in custody until the duo’s next scheduled appearance which is set for Wednesday at the Nelson Law Courts. The Nelson Police Department (NPD) released some of the details surrounding the arrest of Stevenson who is allegedly responsible for Friday’s armed robbery at the Nelson and District Credit Union. Officers pursued and located the male suspect on a bridge in the Bonnington Dam area. The man did not comply with officers’ commands to stop and he subsequently jumped over the bridge landing approximately 30- to 40-feet below. He sustained significant injuries and after he was taken into custody, he was sent to hospital for treatment. Due to the injuries sustained to the male suspect, the Independent Investigations Office of BC (a civilian-led organization that investigates police-related incidents that involve death or serious injury) was notified of the incident, and have asserted jurisdiction in the matter and will be investigating whether police actions contributed to the man’s injuries. The RCMP Forensic Identification Unit was also on scene to assist with the follow up investigation and the NPD remain responsible for all concurrent investigations into the actions of the suspect. Friday’s armed robbery followed a string of armed robberies in the region that began last fall when a lone male brandished a shotgun at the Shopper’s Simply Pharmacy in Castlegar on Nov. 13 and escaped with cash and a large amount of prescription medications. Since February 24, when a lone man with a gun held up the KSCU Salmo branch, three other armed robberies in the area include: the Kootenay Currency Exchange in Nelson April 11 when a shot was fired, Kootenay Savings Credit Union in Castlegar on March 11, and Johnny’s Groceries and Gas in Robson on March 7. “We don’t know if they are related,” said Civitarese. “But the fact that someone has been apprehended will not prevent us from going forward and tweaking anything we have to in our protocols.” - with files from the Nelson Star

Greater Trail residents took a moment Monday to pause and remember those who've lost their lives to work-related incidents or occupational diseases. About 65 people gathered at the United Steelworkers Local 480 hall before taking part in a memorial march down Bay Avenue to the Day of Mourning Ceremony, held at the workers' memorial statue across from the arena. “The message is the same as every year: It's just about taking that one day to sit and reflect, to reflect not only on people who have been killed on the job but also those who continue to suffer as a result of injuries,” said Gord Menelaws, health and safety chair for Local 480. The day of reflection has occurred across the country for the past 30 years, with Trail taking part about half that time. Menelaws is often reminded of Lonnie Plasko, who died while trying to halt an out of control train in 2007, or the many Local 480 and 9705 members (production, maintenance, office and technical workers) who suffered from asbestos-related diseases with limited help. “The standards have changed and we do a lot more work on asbestos awareness and removal but it remains the same that people who get that disease sometimes don't get it until later on in life but they're cut

The government changed the legislation in 2002 so anyone over the age of 65 who got sick would not receive disability pay. There had previously been no age limit in place. But an asbestos-related sickness can take up to 40 years before becoming detectable. On average, this means most people become ill well into their late 60s and early 70s. The local has pushed for a legislation change, which would acknowledge former workers who now suffer from asbestos cancers or their mourning families, through various efforts which included creating a documentary titled “Asbestos: the Silent Killer” that

examines the human costs of industrial diseases and calls for reinstatement of disability pensions. Since 1970, nine workers have lost their lives on Teck property, according to Menelaws. “I'd say we've made some good improvements in some areas but like I say to people 'Even one injury is too many — one loss time accident is too many,'” he said. “We strive for a zero goal and whether we ever get there or not I'm not sure, but that has to be the goal.” WorkSafeBC notes that 128 workers died in B.C. last year, 21 fewer than the year before. Across the country 1,000 Canadians on average died,

which works out to about three per day. The march led by bagpiper Gordon Titsworth was followed by the ceremony's song of remembrance by vocalist Tracy Johnston, a moment of silence and speeches by key speakers which included Shawn Mitton, WorkSafe regional manager, and 9705 president Chuck Macklon on behalf of MLA Katrine Conroy. The mic was then opened up to the public to share their stories or memories of lost loved ones. “A lot of surviving family members come to this ceremony and it means a lot for them to take part in the march and also to see the support that they have around their community for their loved ones that died.”

Summit has potential to expand district-wide

Grades 10s Sierra Kozler and Emily Balfour, Grade 11 Andrea Bedin, Grade 10 James Fike and Matthew McConnachie are gearing up for Crowe’s first youth summit Wednesday.

FROM PAGE 1 “I was from Rossland last year and this school (Crowe) kind of has a big reputation,” he said. “For some reason in Rossland it’s made out to be kind of scary here but when you get here you realize that it’s super nice and nobody is going to bug you and there’s no bullies.” Jones is already talking about expanding the summit to a district-wide event next year, reaching all corners of the Kootenay Columbia. “It’s been really valuable to me to see what kids think are important and sometimes it lines up with exactly with how I think and other times I’m way off and it’s great to hear their version,” said Jones.

The conference brought mayors from all around the province to Cranbrook and Kimberley from April 23-25. Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski is part of the BC Mayors’ Caucus steering committee and said the meetings covered a wide variety of topics. “What stood out for

Caucus to discuss public policy changes that affect local government budgets and delivery of services; • Elimination of the ad hoc granting process in favour of one that is sustainable, accountable, quantifiable and allows for long term planning by local governments; • Review the mandate of the Municipal Auditor General; • Develop a roundtable on aging infrastructure that includes federal, provincial and local government participation; • Re-affirm the core service delivery of each order of government; • If services are devolved to local governments, a sustainable revenue source for those services must be identified; • Develop a coordinated approach

to how social services are delivered into a community; • Call for a full review of ambulance service delivery; • Establish flexibility around the federal gas tax and the Build Canada Fund to be goal oriented to the priorities of the specific communities; • Update on the status of the 2010 Regional Districts Task Force. The mayors at the meeting expressed particular concern over issues affecting B.C. communities, and are seeking a more effective partnership between municipal, provincial and federal governments to better address the challenges facing the province’s residents. The next BC Mayors’ Caucus will meet Sept. 22, 2014 in Whistler.

There were between 60 and 70 mayors at the Caucus depending on the day and time. “That’s getting close to half the mayors in British Columbia,” Stetski said. “A number of the mayors have never been to this part of the province.” Together, the mayors outlined 10 items that could the help address some of the issues.

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER What threatened to be an Olympic-sized white elephant for the City of Vancouver has instead become a valu-

able asset. The city has sold its remaining interest in 67 condominium units in the Olympic Village development for $91 million to the Aquilini Group, the owner of the Vancouver Canucks hockey team. The False Creek condos were built to house Olympic athletes attending the 2010 Games, but the units didn’t sell after the Games, the

developer defaulted, a receiver was appointed, and it appeared the city wasn’t going to be repaid the millions it had loaned. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson says the sale is great news for city taxpayers, noting that not only has the debt been recovered, but an additional $70 million will go towards community amenities and public infrastructure.

Francesco Aquilini, the managing director of Aquilini Group, says the city has shown sound business leadership that has made the Olympic village project an attractive investment and his company is happy to be part of the neighbourhood. The development, a former industrial site, was recently awarded the 2013 Urban Land Institute award for urban open spaces.

Tories set short deadline on election bill changes THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - A parliamentary committee has been given three days to debate and vote on nearly 300 amendments to a controversial overhaul of Canada’s elections law - a tight time frame the Opposition NDP is calling a “farce.” The Conservative majority has set 5 p.m. Thursday as the deadline for clause-byclause debate of the 242-page bill, which now includes almost 300 pages of proposed amendments. That includes 45 changes proposed by the government itself late last week to address some of the most contentious

reforms. “This is more of the farce,” New Democrat David Christopherson groused as the final witness hearing wrapped up Monday. “We’ve got 242 pages, 300 pages of amendments, and we’re going to have until five o’clock (Thursday) and we’re not even meeting around the clock to do it. This is insane,” he said. “Some of the insanity was two or three days taken up with a filibuster,” responded Joe Preston, the Conservative committee chairman, before dropping the gavel to end Monday’s hearing. Preston was

Budget soon balanced on backs of jobs and growth THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The federal government may be able to finally eliminate the deficit as early as this current fiscal year, but the achievement will have come at some cost to economic growth and jobs, the country’s budget watchdog says. Parliamentary Budget Officer Jean-Denis Frechette’s report estimates federal spending curbs have helped keep the government’s costs in check, and will likely lead to a virtual balanced budget one year ahead of schedule in the current 2014-15 fiscal year. “Prospects for budgetary surpluses are higher over the outlook than in (October’s previous report) due to a combination of an improved economic outlook and measures in Budget 2014, in particular further planned restraint in direct program expenses,” Frechette’s report states. But the restraint will likely shave about 0.5 per cent from the economy by 2016 and result in about 46,000 fewer jobs, the report goes on to say.

referring to Christopherson’s own procedural filibuster over the legislation. In fact, it’s been more than a year since the Conservative government first promised to present election reforms, only to withdraw them - unseen by the public - after objections from party MPs. “In our desire to rapidly incorporate recent recommendations made by the chief electoral officer, we discovered a last-minute issue in the proposed Elections Reform Act,” Tim Uppal, the former democratic reform minister, said last April. “Therefore, we are postponing the intro-

duction of legislation. We will take the time necessary to get the legislation right.” Uppal lost his job to Pierre Poilievre in a July 2013 cabinet shuffle and it wasn’t until February 4 this year that a new bill emerged, rechristened the Fair Elections Act. The government then used time allocation to rush the legislation out of the Commons and into committee, saying it had to be passed into law by the end of June in order to be ready for the 2015 election period. “The opposition seems to suggest that by limiting debate, you’re actually going

to be destroying democracy and not allowing this bill to be fully examined,” Tom Lukiwski, Poilievre’s parliamentary secretary, said in February when the government first closed off debate on the bill. “Hogwash. It gets examined at committee.” That committee wrapped up witness testimony Monday by hearing from Brian Saunders, the director of public prosecutions, who was just the latest parliamentary officer to say he was not consulted during the drafting of the bill - notwithstanding the year-long pause to get it right.

A cavalcade of experts, including the current and former chief electoral officers and current and former commissioners of elections, have criticized the legislation. And on Friday, after weeks of insisting there was nothing wrong with the bill, Poilievre announced that significant portions of C-23 would be deleted or amended. “We brought forward a common sense bill and we’ve accepted some reasonable amendments to it,” Poilievre told the House of Commons on Monday in question

period. The minister has ruled out further changes, such as the return of voter vouching, which could suggest the committee’s deliberations this week are moot. That didn’t stop NDP Leader Tom Mulcair from touting a victory of sorts on the elections bill. “We said we’d join democrats of every stripe to fight this bill in the courts, if we had to,” Mulcair told his MPs in an electionstyle speech Monday morning as Parliament resumed following a two-week break.

The inconvenient truth on pine beetles

ast week’s column on Earth Day myths attracted a fair amount of criticism. One tireless member of the “Alberta tar sands killing the planet” crowd scolded me for daring to mention that 60 per cent of the oil pollution in the oceans around North America comes from natural seeps. That’s eight times more than all pipeline and tanker spills combined, and it’s been going on 24 hours a day for the last 10,000 years or so. This fact blows another hole in the carefully crafted narrative that only Canadian oil exports to Asia would destroy our delicate ecosystems. That narrative is why the daily Alaska supertankers along the B.C. coast are ignored, as is the barbaric shale oil rush in North Dakota that can be seen from space. U.S. oil barons are flaring off the

vast volume of natural gas that comes up with the more valuable light crude, while the U.S. environment lobby obsesses over the Keystone XL pipeline. Here’s another one that may upset people indoctrinated by our school system, media and our supposedly green B.C. Liberal government. B.C.’s recent pine beetle epidemic was caused by human carbon emissions, right? Everybody knows that. Gordon Campbell hammered the point home in speeches for years. In 2012 I participated in a B.C. forests ministry tour of facilities where hardy seedlings are grown for reforestation. Test plantings were also underway to see if the range of southern tree species is shifting northward due to climate change. During the bus ride, I asked the province’s top forest scientists if Campbell was right.

TOM

FLETCHER B.C. Views

The answer? We don’t have enough evidence to conclude that. As for shifting tree habitat, those decades-long experiments are continuing. The scientists confirmed what I already knew, which is that the most recent bark beetle epidemic is the latest of many. It’s the largest “on record,” but the record goes back less than a century. In 2008 I interviewed Lorne Swanell on the occasion of his 100th birthday. A graduate

of UBC’s school of forest engineering, Swanell began his career with the forests ministry in 1930. After a year as a ranger, he was assigned to the Kamloops region to help deal with a pine beetle epidemic. Conventional wisdom on the latest outbreak holds that it spread so far because of a lack of cold winters, attributed to human carbon emissions. I grew up in northern B.C., and my last two visits to the Peace country were both in January. In 2004 I recall changing planes on the tarmac of Prince George airport, moving briskly in the daytime temperature near -40 C. That night, and subsequent nights, the mercury dropped to -50 C. In January 2013 I returned for some discussions on the Enbridge pipeline route, and experienced a relatively balmy -30 C in the daytime. So

when I hear people talk about the end of cold winters in northern B.C. because of global warming, it’s difficult to square with personal experience. I can hear the rebuttals already. It takes long periods of extreme cold to kill the pine beetle. How long? Longer than those ones, of course. Similarly flexible theories are being advanced to explain the 17-year “pause” in Earth’s average surface temperature rise, the growing Antarctic ice sheet, and this past winter’s “polar vortex.” If anyone has substantial evidence that CO2 from human activity was the trigger mechanism for the latest beetle outbreak in B.C., I’d like to see it. But please, spare me the affirmations of quasireligious faith that often pass for climate change arguments today. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

‘Family Guy’ taps into scandal

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TRENTON, N.J. - “The Family Guy” is taking on a New Jersey political scandal. A flier sent to Emmy voters asks them to name the show “best animated program.” It warns, “Vote for us, or it’s time for some traffic problems in Brentwood,” a Los Angeles neighbourhood where many Emmy voters live. The warning is a reference to lane closures at the heart of the scandal. A since-fired aide to Gov. Chris Christie wrote before the closures, “It’s time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” the New Jersey town that saw days of traffic jams.

Beautiful week in Beaver Valley

What a way to end last week here in the Beaver Valley! On Thursday a large crowd took part in a celebration that recognized the abilities and talents of players, coaches and volunteers with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks hockey team. The efforts of those persons culminated in a dream come true for the team and each player. To win the Cyclone Cup and the Keystone Cup in such a convincing manner pays tribute to the dedication they displayed. Well done, Nitehawks! On Friday the music abilities of local musicians were highlighted. The Harmaniacs (I like

to call them The Harmonikids), Michael Gifford, Lois Allen, Don Birtch, Gary Morissette, Bert Kniss and others provided two and a half hours of varied musical styles. Several people I talked to later said how much they enjoyed what they had seen and heard. Indeed, the evening was a great success. A little background about the Friday concert is needed. The featured Harmaniacs is made up of fifteen boys and girls from grades 3, 4 and 6 in the Fruitvale Elementary School. The concert was to raise money for one boy and one

girl from the group to travel to St. Louis in July to take part in harmonica workshops and experiences. More money may be needed but I’m sure the people in the Valley will do all they can to help get them there. We were so fortunate to have had the opportunities to recognize the talents of the groups we saw last week. Thanks Nitehawks and Harmaniacs and all those associated with you. I join with many others to wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Bob Bastian Fruitvale

tion that prospective retirees don’t understand their financial circumstances. In models, Canadians march towards retirement either blissfully unaware of the lower standard of living waiting for them or utterly incapable of altering their behaviour by saving more or working longer in response to that knowledge. In real life, there’s ample evidence that Canadians alter their behaviour in response to a keen awareness of their circumstances and act decisively and rationally to control them. Some accept lower incomes in order to retire early while others work longer when circumstances dictate; they save less voluntarily when government increases mandatory saving; they save more in their own pension accounts when employer-based pension plan benefits erode; they elect to receive C/QPP benefits earlier or later than the traditional 65 years as they see fit; they shift consumption between the early and later stages of retirement; they save more in their later years to leave an inheritance; and they understand government will provide support as their health deteriorates in their final years. Canadians are anything but the robotic automatons portrayed in models, doomed to endlessly repeat past patterns of behaviour, incapable of learning and adapting their lifestyle to the changing world around them. They are actively involved in making the myriad of decisions that affect their pensions and their retirement. If there is an expanded role for government to play in the future retirement system, it’s filling in the few cracks through which pensioners can fall into poverty. Philip Cross is the former Chief Economic Analyst at Statistics Canada and author of “The Reality of Retirement in Canada” published by the Fraser Institute (available at www.fraserinstitute.org)

PEOPLE

OBITUARIES BATIUK, NADINE – June 3,1922 April 14, 2014 With sadness in our hearts we announce the passing of Nadine, our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, at the age of 91, in Delta Hospital on April 14, 2014. Nadine grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, where she completed her Education degree with majors in Math and Music. She taught at a small country school until she married Bill in 1944. She and Bill moved to Trail where she stayed home to raise two children before resuming her career in teaching. She taught English for new Canadians at night school, did private tutoring, and also did substitute teaching in the area. Nadine’s two great loves were her family and teaching. When life became difficult dealing with Bill’s Alzheimer’s, Nadine moved to Tsawwassen to be closer to family. She always missed living in Trail but was happy to finally be able to participate in all the family gatherings. Nadine was predeceased by her loving husband Bill in 2007. She is survived by her daughter Carol (Clive) and her son Bill (Audrey), as well as three grandchildren: Lori (Travis), Kevin (Melanie), and Brian (Shannon) and five great-grandchildren (Noah, Ella, Jamie, Magnolia, and Kaleia). She will be greatly missed by family and friends. A funeral service was held on Saturday, April 26, at Holy Nativity Orthodox Church in Langley, B.C. Donations in Nadine’s memory may be made to a charity of your choice. *** MAURO, “SAM” ANTONIO SALAMONE – March 25, 1931 – January 16, 2014. A funeral mass will be held for Sam (Salamone) Mauro on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at 10:00am at St. Anthony’s church. A reception will follow immediately in the church hall. Internment is on Monday, May 5th at 10:00am at the Mountain View Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the BC Children’s Hospital or the BC Cancer Agency. Sam’s family would like to take this opportunity to thank all the wonderful family, friends and neighbours who have helped and supported us so incredibly throughout his illness and since his passing. In particular, we’d like to thank the Wood family (Debbie and Sandra, Rob Brown), the Ferraro family (and Benny Merandino), the Gallo family and all the wonderful neighbours on Binns St. and Austad Lane. Your love and support have truly made a difficult time more bearable. Thank you!

GEORGE CLOONEY

Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor off the market

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - George Clooney -Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor - is getting hitched, according to a London law firm. Leading humanrights practice Doughty Street Chambers spilled the news Monday as it congratulated one of its own attorneys: 36-yearold U.K. barrister Amal Alamuddin. The firm said its lawyers and staff “offer

their best wishes and congratulations to Ms. Amal Alamuddin ... and Mr. George Clooney on their engagement to be married.” Clooney, 52, was married to actress Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993. He has since been romantically linked to several women, including British model Lisa Snowden, Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis and former professional wrestler Stacey Keibler.

But he has always downplayed suggestions he might marry again, telling Esquire magazine last year: “I wasn’t very good at it.” The Beirut-born, Oxford Universityeducated Alamuddin is a member of Doughty Street’s international law team and has a high-profile client list. She has advised former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Syria, helped ex-Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko challenge her imprisonment and represented WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange during his fight against

extradition to Sweden. Clooney, whose recent films include “Gravity” and “The Monuments Men,” is one of Hollywood’s most powerful actors, directors and producers. He also has a strong interest in international affairs and humanrights issues, and has campaigned for action on the humanitarian crises in Sudan and South Sudan. Doughty Street chief executive Robin Jackson said Alamuddin had been “utterly wonderful” since she joined the firm in 2010.

“She brings a bright light to everything she is involved in and I am so delighted at her happy news,” he said. Clooney and Alamuddin have been photographed together several times since late 2013 and rumours of an engagement have been circulating for several days. People Magazine reported that Alamuddin was seen sporting a large ring during dinner at a Malibu restaurant last week. Clooney’s spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, declined to comment.

THE CANADIAN PRESS MONCTON, N.B. - A New Brunswick family has won two lottery prizes worth $1 million each within the past five months. Atlantic Lottery says Denise Richard of Saint Phillippe, N.B., and her brother Roger claimed the first Lotto 6-49 prize in December. Then on April 9, it happened again. This time, the Lotto 6-49 ticket belonged to Richard’s mother, Evangeline Richard of Dieppe, N.B.,

who relies on her daughter to buy her tickets. Based on the number of entries, the odds of winning the Nov. 27 draw were 1 in 5.7 million. On April 9, the odds were slightly better at 1 in 5.2 million. “To be that lucky twice doesn’t happen often but it does happen,” Manon Deslauriers, an Atlantic Lottery spokeswoman, said in a statement Monday. “We’re just really excited that it happened here.”

Riders share spotlight and spurs at Bull-a-Rama

Times Sports Editor

The 13th annual Kootenay Chrysler Bull-a-Rama delivered its share of guts, glory, fire, and fury on Saturday at the Cominco Arena with two riders from Bull Riders Canada Inc. (BRC) sharing top spot. When the dust settled, about 1,200 bull-riding fans watched 20-year-old Cody Coverchuk of Meadow Lake, Sask. and Miles Pennington from Stettler, Alta. finish with identical scores of 165.5 after the long and short go to share the coveted silver spurs. “It was good, they road quite a few bulls, and not every score got back to the short go, and the bulls performed for the most part, so it was good,” said Pennington who has competed in the Trail event for a number of years, but was happy to earn his first win. Ten of 30 riders hung on for eight seconds in the long go, and Pennington’s modest score of 78.5 on the bull Role Model

just squeezed him into the top eight. But the veteran rider came back with a brilliant 87 in the short go on Canadian Diesel to claim the short round money and tied for the highest average for a total earnings of $4,047.50. “I really enjoy coming out here, it’s always a good time, and it feels good to get my first win here,” said Pennington. Vernon’s Cody Moore won the long round with an 84.5 and just over $1,200, but couldn’t quite hold on for the short go. Justin Loyd of Tisdale, Sask. was the only rider other than the two champions to stay on for the short go, scoring a total of 155.5 to take home third-place prize money of $2,401. Coverchuk meanwhile scored an 80 in the long go before putting together a great ride of 85.5 to tie Pennington for high average. It was Coverchuk’s first visit to Trail, and the victory puts him in top spot on the BRC circuit with 840 points and over

$8,000 in winnings. “I love it, it’s an awesome bull riding event, and I’ll be back next year for sure.” Coverchuk has been riding bulls for four years and is coming off his second straight win of the season after taking home the money at the Easter Bull-a-Rama in Taber, Alta. last week. “It’s been going really good so far, and hopefully it keeps going that way,” said Coverchuck who claimed a total of $3,736.50 in winnings on Saturday. Bullfighters Curtis Smyth and Dawson Northcott were not only entertaining but heroic, as they kept bull riders from harm despite some close calls, and one particular scary moment when the rider;s hand was stuck in the bull rope. As the bull bucked and reeled, the rider tried desperately to stay upright, and the bullfighters kept the bull contained until the cowboy’s hand came free and he emerged safe and relatively unscathed.

RECRUITMENT

“There’s a lot that goes on, that as a fan of the sport, the more you watch, the more you understand what’s happening,” said Russell Friend, BRC president. “Again it’s body awareness and motor skills . . . you notice that cowboy stayed on his feet, you have to do that, you don’t want to be under the bull.” BRC is in its second season as a pro bullriding organization and Friend is happy with its early evolution and particularly with Trail’s organizing committee led by Guy Thompson. “It’s fantastic, the reception has been phenomenal,” said Friend. “Last year was our inaugural year and we had 26 events, which made us last year the largest Canadian owned bull-riding company in the history of Canada.” With a focus on community involvement and local prosperity, this year the BRC will host close to 40 events.

Bull-riding event helps communities FROM PAGE 11 “It’s a new era, and so we’ve tried to make our focus more centered around the family, and so for example today the mutton busting was included, we had a fantastic clown act; keep the people engaged and make it a family type of show.” BRC boasts a mix of veteran and rookie riders, predominantly from the four western provinces, but also cowboys coming from as far away as Mexico, Australia, and Ireland. “Part of our mandate on the bull riding side . . . is that we want to build bull riders,” said Friend. “We want to have world finalist qualifiers. That’s what we’re looking to do.” CBR is also filling a void left by the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association (CPRA) which pulled its affiliation from bull-riding-only events in favour

of full rodeos, leaving smaller venues out of the loop. “The industry changes, but at the end of the day, committees are having events, but as fans, do we care what flag they’re flying under? No.” BRC makes a concerted effort not to schedule its bull-riding events on the same day as the CPRAs, giving riders and contractors the opportunity to compete in as many events as possible, he said. “It’s the last thing we want to do. I guess you can say we are competing with the CPRA but we don’t look at it that way, we’re trying to dovetail the CPRA and any other association to work together.” The Kootenay Chrysler Bull-a-Rama is one of the BRC’s richest events, handing out $12,000 in prize money. However, it may have been the last dance, as the City of Trail will again consider its future. “This is a fantastic venue, and I’ve been here at least 10 times over the years,” he added. “I mean I like coming here, I hope we are back. “Number one, regardless of whether its us or somebody else, have an event. Have a bull-riding event, raise some money for the hockey team or the charities that are doing the work and give something for people to come out and enjoy themselves.”
