Trail’s Lana and Dan Rodlie will join some 10,000 Corvette owners from across North America for a pilgrimage to the birthplace of the classic automobile in Kentucky.

Trail couple plans trip to iconic car’s Kentucky cradle BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

When you're at this Saturday's Smoke and Steel car show, stop by and say hello to Lana and Dan Rodlie before they set off on their trip of a lifetime in August. The Rodlies are joining a North American caravan to Bowling Green, Kentucky, the birth place of their beloved car, a black-on-black 2007 C6 Corvette. The once-every-fiveyears trip is something the Rodlies can't wait to embark on since purchasing their Corvette a few years back. The trip, starting at the end of August, will see nearly 10,000 Corvettes, with the Rodlies being behind the wheel of one of them, converging on Bowling Green and Lana says one of the main attractions is going to be the infamous 40-foot sinkhole in the Corvette Museum. “I know we are touring the museum and we are going to see the big sinkhole,” she said. “They have left it there, and all the Corvettes that fell into it

for us to see. They were going to clean it all up, but it became such a tourist attraction they had to leave it open. It will be one of the highlights.” Rodlie says the Corvette museum, also where all Corvettes are made and shipped from, is a gathering point for owners and admirers. “It is where they build them so it’s sort of like the Mecca for Corvettes,” she said. “Every Corvette is its own. They are individual. We have the actual documents from when our car was made and who made it and everything. Every Corvette is like that, so

they are all kind of unique. You can trace them back right to the date it came off the assembly line.” It isn't just the destination that is at the top of Rodlies to-do list for the trip. The journey to Kentucky is also something her and Dan are looking forward to. “We get to drive on this road called the Dragon Road, and I believe it is through the Blue Mountains,” she said. “We will be going through Mount Rushmore, through Deadwood, and we'll be going on a paddle wheeler on the Mississippi River.” See CORVETTE, Page 3

Smoke n’ Steel at Gyro Park BY TIMES STAFF Rows of gleaming chrome and highly polished custom paint jobs will be showcased at Gyro Park on Saturday for the sixth annual Smoke n’ Steel car show. So far, the West Kootenay Smoke and Steel Car Club is expecting about 100 vehicles, but the number grows weekly, and this year spectators could see some first time entrants roar into town from south of the border. Besides giving visitors a chance to admire automotive culture from a variety of styles and different eras, the show promises live entertainment, a memorabilia booth, a tire demonstration, local dealerships on site and a variety of food offerings during its 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Society pivotal in preserving local history

For some time now, the Trail Historical Society has submitted an article related to the history of Trail to the Trail Times for publication on the last Friday in each month. Today we would like to talk a little about ourselves, for those unfamiliar with the Society. The Society was formed in 1953 by a group of local history buffs. It slowly acquired a collection of artifacts and archival material leading the establishment of the first Trail museum and

Changes to staff and board at RDCK

www.trailtimes.ca A3

LOCAL PICKET LINE PICNIC

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

A recent shake up in manpower at the regional district has mostly mayors chairing the board and new faces stepping into senior positions. Six months into the civic election year, the board of directors has seen four new officials join the group and only one East End Services councillor remains. Most recently, Rossland councillor and Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) director Kathy Wallace resigned from both posts and the city’s mayor, Greg Granstrom, was appointed the regional position. Just a year into his seat as Greenwood’s director, Coun. Barry Noll was replaced by the city’s mayor Nipper Kettle. When Noll first took the job as RDKB director, he said the number of meetings each month was overwhelming and a notable time commitment. “As far as the money, there is no amount to compensate for the amount of time and effort spent on the job,” he said in an earlier Trail Times interview. After regional recreation became a hot button issue in January, Montrose councillor and regional district director Don Duclos took some heat from constituents at council meetings and since that time the seasoned official stepped down and was replaced by the village’s mayor Joe Danchuk. After Larry Gray chose to step down as RDKB board chair in December, the two-year leader was replaced by Area C (Christina Lake) director Grace McGregor. Gray continued his role as Fruitvale councillor and as RDKB director until January, when village council voted to appoint Fruitvale Mayor Patricia Cecchini to the position. In a 3-2 vote, Cecchini took over the role to gain experience at the regional level prior to the Nov. 15 municipal election, when she will seek re-election as Fruitvale mayor. After losing his regional position, Gray resigned from council and retired from politics all together. “As an organization we have to be prepared to manage change,” said McGregor. “This year it seems that we have had a little more than usual.” Trail Coun. Robert Cacchioni is the lone municipal councillor on the EES committee, which is comprised of representatives from Areas A and B, Warfield, Rossland, Trail, Montrose and Fruitvale. He’s been on the board since the last civic election, and said along with meetings, travel, agenda reading and phone calls, regional issues can be more time consuming than municipal issues. Regional directors are responsible for keeping municipal councils up-to-date and he estimates spending about 70 hours month in the position. “With a budget of $40 million this is a necessary amount of time considering major issues such as the pipe bridge, landfill closure Phase 1 and the solid waste management plan, which is a major undertaking.” A turnover in regional district staff began with the hiring of Beth Burget, manager of finance. Burget has a background working in Northern B.C.’s senior healthcare management, public and industrial practise, and previously served as financial services manager in the Central Kootenay regional office. She accepted a similar position with the RDKB last fall, and in May was promoted to general manager of finance. “It’s been a busy seven months,” said Burget. “With becoming oriented to a new organization, working through the 2014 budget and completing the 2013 financial statements.” Following Elaine Kumar’s retirement, Theresa Lenardon was named successor to the position of manager of corporate administration. Also moving up is Donna Dean as manager of planning and development and Maureen Forster as the RDKB’s executive assistant. 3592 Highway Dr on Riverbank, Glenmerry 4 Bed 2 Bath Superb Family Home

This year, due to the teachers strike, the luncheon was called “Picket Line Picnic” and included an impressive spread of homemade salads, trays of fruit, veggies and deli meats and fresh from the oven cupcakes.

Corvette opens up whole new way of life

FROM PAGE 1 Rodlie says the companionship is something that really drew her and Dan to the world of Corvettes. “By the time we get to Bowling Green, there will be between 8,000 and 10,000 Corvettes coming from Chicago, New York, up from Texas and from a bunch of other states and we will all be converging at the same time,” she said. “As we go, there will be barbecues and hosted dinners by Corvette clubs and car dealerships, all along the way.” The Rodlies came by their Corvette, named Black Rose, in a roundabout way – they weren’t even

looking to buy a new car at first. “We happen to be over in Kelowna and we were driving around looking at sports cars,” she said. “We got in a couple, and I thought we were just window shopping like people do, because (Dan) had never said anything to me about buying one.” The Rodlies ended up agreeing that the right time to buy a sports car was then and when a friend found them a Corvette at an auction in Vancouver, they were hooked. The twosome has put a lot of work into the car, updating the stereo system, adding black rims to the tires and a black-out kit to the lights.

Owning the Corvette has opened up a whole new world to the Rodlies and they are going to keep going with it. “It became a whole new life for us,” said Lana. “We don’t camp, we don’t golf, we don’t gamble – we don’t do what most people our age do. We go to Corvette shows. Our only regret is that we can only do it for six months of the year. We are just loving it and it has been great for us and for our relationship. We love having something to do. I’ve downloaded a bunch of music onto my iPod and we load it up into the Corvette and we go.”

The city has tweaked its new agreement with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, just weeks after council voted to help out the beleaguered junior hockey team. The new agreement reflects a 50 per cent reduction to the rent the team pays to the city. The team currently pays $4,300 per month in rental costs and $1,000 per game for playoffs. The fee increases by two per cent every year. In the 2014-2015 season, the team will pay the city $2,203 instead of $4,405. In the 2015-2016 season the team see a two per cent increase and will pay $2,247 instead

of $4,493, Kenny said. The rent will be paid monthly beginning in August. All other terms of the amended agreement remain the same, Kenny said. The city will compensate for the rent reduction with a subsequent decrease in service levels at the AV Multiplex. Reduced services will include staffing changes in the upper lounge during Bulldog game nights, Kenny said. In May, councillors voted in favour of a 50 per cent reduction in team operating fees for the next two years. The team owes the city a total of $63,500 in fixed and additional costs plus payments to the end of July.

Suspects but no charges in Highway of Tears investigation THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - The Mountie overseeing the investigation into the murders and disappearances of women and girls along British Columbia’s so-called Highway of Tears says his officers have a number of “strong suspects,” but they have yet to uncover enough evidence to lay charges nearly two years after the last major break in the case. Staff-Sgt. Wayne Clary leads project E-PANA, which has spent years investigating the deaths and disappearances of 18 women and girls along three highways in the province’s north. Roughly 60 officers were assigned to the case at the height of the investigation, though Clary said that number has dropped to between 12 and 15, who spend most of their time on the project. Still, he said E-PANA is very much an active investigation. “It has scaled down, because we’ve pounded through a lot of work, but there’s still enough work in front of us to keep going,” Clary told The Canadian Press. “There’s more than one investigation where we have strong suspects or persons of interest, and we’re clearly focusing on those. ... I’d like nothing more than to sit down with the families and say, ‘We’ve got the guy.”’ Clary declined to offer details about how many suspects the RCMP have identified or in which specific cases, though he said the suspects they have in mind are located in Canada. The last significant development came in September 2012, when investigators said they believed a dead American convict named Bobby Jack Fowler was responsible for killing as many as three of the women. The RCMP said investigators had uncovered DNA evidence linking Fowler, who died in an Oregon prison in 2006, to Colleen MacMillen, who was murdered in 1974. They also said they believed Fowler may have been involved in the deaths of Gale Weys and Pamela Darlington, both 19, who were killed in the mid-1970s. Clary said the force doesn’t have the same kind of direct evidence tying Fowler to Weys and Darlington, but he added: “Personally, I think it’s him in the other two.” Clary said E-PANA hasn’t come up with evidence to suggest any of the other women and girls were linked together, meaning there could be 15 different suspects for the 15 remaining cases.

Harper not protecting Charter of Rights: lawyers group THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The Harper government is falling short in its duty as a guardian of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Canadian Bar Association will be told Friday in a major speech. Simon Potter, a past president of the association, is to deliver that scathing message in the keynote address to the day-long conference on the state of constitutional law in Canada. The annual constitutional symposium by Canada’s top legalists on the Charter unfolds this year against a backdrop of unprecedented acrimony between the Harper government and the Supreme Court of Canada. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s

office recently accused Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin of inappropriately attempting to make contact with him over the appointment of Marc Nadon to the Supreme Court, an appointment the high court went on to unanimously reject in a separate ruling. Many in Canada’s legal community rushed to the defence of the chief justice and accused the Conservatives of engineering a smear campaign. The government will again face more criticism Friday as the association recommends reforms to the selection process for Supreme Court judges in the wake of the Nadon affair. “The episodes we lived through with the nomination of Mr.

Nadon and the comments which came out of the Prime Minister’s Office were not of the kind to foster respect of the judiciary,” Potter said. “In fact, the goal was to foster disrespect for the judiciary - an unheard-of thing in Canada.” Potter said his keynote address will reinforce a key point about the three branches of Canada’s government: that the executive branch (the PMO), the judiciary and Parliament all have a duty to protect the Charter, which enshrines the freedom of all Canadians. “I ask the question: do we have cause for worry these days that maybe the executive isn’t being as serious about that duty as we would hope? And I conclude that the

answer is yes, we do have cause for worry.” In addition to the Nadon ruling, the Supreme Court has ruled against the government’s truthin-sentencing act, its plans for Senate reform, and on Thursday in a historic ruling it recognized a First Nation’s title to a specific tract of land. That decision could pose a major headache for the Northern Gateway pipeline, which the government sees as crucial to its energy policy. Potter said there’s a requirement for “respectful co-operation” between the three branches of government, but recent events show that has been jettisoned. The government is either ignoring the advice of its legal

advisers in the Justice Department or is telling them to hold their tongues, said Potter. “Whether it’s Mr. (Justice Minister Peter) MacKay’s fault, or someone else’s fault, the fact is the attorney general has been brought away from doing his duty. His duty is to advise the government on these things, and the government has told him, ‘Don’t advise me.”’ Potter planned to raise the case of former Justice Department lawyer Edgar Schmidt, who is suing the federal government for allegedly failing to routinely evaluate whether proposed legislation violates the Charter. Schmidt alleges that government lawyers are instructed to warn the minister about possible Charter

CBC cuts more jobs and newscasts

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The CBC is slashing some 20 per cent of its workforce over the next five years, while cutting back evening newscasts and inhouse production and raising the possibility of selling its flagship headquarters in Toronto. During a heated town hall with employees Thursday, the broadcaster announced its fiveyear strategic plan. President Hubert Lacroix unveiled sweeping changes designed to shift the CBC’s priorities from radio and television to digital and mobile services. By 2020, CBC plans to cut 1,000 to 1,500 positions (the broadcaster says it currently has 7,500 employees). It says that goal will in part be fulfilled by retirements and attrition and that roughly 500 of these jobs will be eliminated over the next 12 to 15 months. “Over five years, you are going to get a smaller broadcaster,” said CBC president Hubert Lacroix in a conference call with reporters. “It’s not about job cuts. It’s about a vision. It’s about a financial model that is sustainable.”

The new job losses are in addition to the 657 the broadcaster announced in April. The CBC is grappling with a $130-million budget shortfall due to federal cuts, declining advertising revenues and the loss of hockey rights to Rogers Media. The broadcaster will also cut its real estate presence in half by approximately two million square feet. In Montreal, there will be a reduction in square feet, while the Toronto studio will acquire new tenants, Lacroix said. Lacroix faced calls to resign during the raucous town hall.

He told staff that the broadcaster must transform itself from a “producer to a multiplatform broadcaster” in order to stay afloat. The CBC is aiming to double its digital audience so that 18 million Canadians - or roughly half of the country - use its online or mobile services each month by 2020. “As the media universe becomes more crowded, Canadians need a space they can call their own,” Lacroix said. He said the broadcaster will not close any stations across the country, but 90-minute evening

In 2012, the federal government cut $115-million from the CBC’s budget over a threeyear period. Both the federal DOLBY 7.1 SURROUND SOUND

Liberal and NDP heritage critics released statements blaming the CBC’s challenges on the Conservative budget cuts. “These cuts are ideologically driven, pure and simple, and underscore Mr. Harper’s lack of interest as to the need and value of this crucial Canadian institution,” said Liberal heritage critic Stephane Dion.

conflicts only when the violations are unambiguous, so that even if the probability is 95 per cent, there is still no need to red-flag the problem. Potter said that amounts to the government abandoning part of its constitutional role. “If that is so, and Mr. Schmidt’s allegations are correct, what it means is that the executive has decided to take as many freedoms away from us as possible, rather than as few as possible,” said Potter.

Kent Roach, a constitutional law professor at the University of Toronto, said the government and the Supreme Court will face further Charter showdowns when the court hears cases on mandatory minimum sentences in gun and drug cases. “There have obviously been a number of recent flashpoints and this could be another flashpoint,” Roach said. “The government is pretty determined not to allow that use of judicial discretion.”

Nothing to celebrate this Canada Day

h, Canada, what will become of you? Although I’m proudly Canadian, my early memories are mixed. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, our government unfairly deprived my family of citizenship rights and exiled us to the B.C. interior, even though we were born and raised here. But my love of nature flourished during that time in the spectacular Slocan Valley. As a young adult, I moved to the U.S. for educational opportunities not available in Canada. Disturbed by overt racism in the American South, I eventually returned to my increasingly tolerant homeland. I preferred Canada, which to me meant Tommy Douglas and Medicare, Quebec, the National Film Board and CBC. I’ve never regretted my choice. Canadians have strived to move beyond inequality and intolerance to create an inclusive and caring society, where education, public health, social programs and enlightened laws provide numerous opportunities. We’re not

there yet, but we’ve come a long way in our relatively short history as a nation. We also understand our place in nature. Surrounded by the world’s longest and most diverse coastline, our mountains, forests, prairies, rivers, lakes, valleys and skies define us and instill wonder and pride. Canada is nature. And nature is life. We know this. Lately, the tide has been turning. Instead of protecting the increasingly precious and threatened natural systems that keep us alive and healthy, our leaders are rushing to scar the landscape with mines, roads and pipelines to sell our resources as quickly as possible to global markets. From oil sands expansion to fracking, federal and provincial governments are blindly proceeding with little thought about long-term consequences. In 2007, our prime minister called climate change “perhaps the greatest threat to the future of humanity.” Now he says, “No matter what they say, no country is

going to take actions that are going to deliberately destroy jobs and growth in their country.” Yet, many actions our industries and governments are taking will hurt the ability to create jobs and keep the economy prosperous. Clean energy and educated citizens are healthier investments than an increasingly risky fossil fuel industry – and we can’t hope for abundant jobs and a thriving economy on a planet suffering the ever-worsening consequences of global warming. Canada was once seen as a country where respect for each other and our land, air, water and biodiversity were valued. Now, some government

leaders and their industry and media supporters threaten those who dare question the mad scramble for short-sighted, short-term profits at the expense of the environment, our health and the world’s climate systems, and label us “radicals”. If it’s radical to insist on maintaining and strengthening values that have long defined us as a nation, then we’ll wear the label proudly. We are radically Canadian! That means building on the progress we’ve made over the years to create a society based on compassion, equity and respect for the people and places we know and love. Canada has long been known as a country that gets it right, that treats its citizens well and cares for the land that gives us so much, and plays a constructive role on the world stage. But now we’re lagging in many areas, our hard-earned reputation suffering. We’re no longer a leader in protecting the conditions that make Canada one of the best places on Earth for citizens and visitors alike.

Enshrining the right to a healthy environment in the Constitution’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms would help get Canada back on track. More than 110 countries have constitutional environmental rights. But not Canada. It’s not just about protecting birds, bees and trees; it’s about social justice and ensuring all citizens have the right to the conditions necessary for healthy, fruitful lives. What kind of Canada do you want? Do you treasure our spectacular natural landscapes, clean water and air and abundant natural resources? Do you value our commitment to fairness, enlightened social programs, education and public health? Do you believe we should do all we can to protect the things that make this country great? Now is a good time to reflect on these questions, on where we are as a nation and where we want to be. Happy Canada Day!

Vote ‘yes’ for walking bridge I recently wrote a Letter to the Editor (Referendum needed on bridge, Trail Times, May 7) in which I questioned the feasibility of utilizing the old bridge as a walking bridge while still providing access to emergency vehicles in the event of a total closure of the Victoria Street Bridge. Since that letter appeared in the Trail Times, the city has obviously made the decision based on their engineering studies that there is no alternative but total demolition of the old bridge. Apparently no engineering firm will deem this bridge as safe to use, either as a walking bridge or as an emergency vehicle bridge. A petition requesting that we keep the old bridge was circulated and received the required

number of signatures to force the city to resort to a referendum if they want to proceed with the construction of a walking bridge. This leaves the citizens of Trail with only one option. We must vote “yes” when the city goes to referendum on Saturday, August 23, 2014. A walking bridge as opposed to no bridge is really not debatable. The walking suspension bridge will be constructed at no cost to the citizens. Remember when you vote - the choice of a walking bridge or absolutely no bridge. Please vote “yes” for construction of a walking bridge. As to the future referendum for a new library and museum, again please vote “yes.” Lynn Gould, Trail

Building community partnerships with local organizations, businesses and groups is another important step on the path to change. Projecting into the future, the Women Creating Change 20/20 Vision proposes that by the year 2020, “equitable economic opportunities will be available for all women the Lower Columbia region.” There are many small changes that can help to create work environments that better support women. For example, educating employers on the benefits of familyfriendly workplaces—flexible working hours, alternate work arrangements, in-house childcare and supportive supervisory staff—will go far to assist women with families to maintain a healthy work¬− life balance. Many women who enter non-traditional occupations leave them within the first couple of years because of a lack of support. Women Creating Change plans to implement a mentorship program for women in trades and technology that would help to keep women in good-paying jobs longer.

Dream becomes reality for lotto winner

THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG - A Manitoba woman’s dream has come true by winning nearly $7 million on Lotto 649. Maria Digel says she played the same numbers for 30 years, and one June 4 those numbers won. Her picks - 7, 11, 12, 13, 35 and 41 - have a great deal of meaning for her. They are the ages

In Memory of

Grace Betty Miner March 5, 1946 June 14, 2014 It is with deep sadness and extremely heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dearly beloved Mom and Grandma Grace Betty Miner. She left this earth to be with Dad on June 14, 2014 surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 68. She was born on March 5, 1946 to Dorothy and Henry Gilbertson in Garden Bay, B.C. She married her best friend and soul mate Art Miner on Sept 6, 1963. Mom and Dad moved 18 times in their 47 years together. Mom got so good at packing, she could be boxed up and ready to go in less than a day! Mom worked initially as a hair dresser but gave that up to raise her family. She was a hard worker at home inside and out. She loved to fill the house with the fragrance of her days spent cooking. Mom was an amazing cook and was notorious for her mile high pizzas and Norwegian dumplings to name a couple! She was passionate about her posies, her yard and her garden. She was an excellent seamstress and a talented painter. She loved to swim, she loved the ocean and painted sea side scenes from her memories of Sechelt where she grew up. Her greatest gift was her ability to make people not only smile or chuckle but to belly laugh! In amongst all her suffering she never gave up her sense of humour even until her last breath. As she laid in the hospital, knowing she had only hours left, she tried to lift the spirits of her children and grandchildren. She joked and sang songs even hours before she passed most of which she made up as she went, just to make us smile! Mom will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by all that met her for her kindness and her never ending ability to make people laugh! She was blessed with a loving and tight knit family that always moved close together. She spoke to all her children daily, we will miss that so very deeply! She was so proud of her children and grandchildren, the lights of her life. Our world is forever diminished, yet we are overflowing with her love. She created many wonderful memories that will be forever cherished and remembered deep in our hearts. God bless you mom, may you be resting in peace with dad at your side. Grace is survived by her children, Dean Miner (Cheryl Speerbrecker-Miner), Dee-Ann Miner- Evans (Bob Evans), Terri-Lin Miner, her grandchildren, Mitchell, Levi, Jacob, Gracie and Gabriel as well as her sisters Francis Betts, Joyce Richardson and Esther Dyke. A celebration of her life will be held at 2912 4th ave, Castlegar, BC on June 28th at 2:00pm. Please bring a funny story or joke to share at her celebration, mom would want to hear us all belly laughing! For more information contact Dean by email at deanminer@hotmail.ca or (250)365-8399.

of her family when they immigrated to Canada decades ago, and the date that they arrived in this country. She says the night before she won $6,986,491.90, she had a dream that she won a million dollars and split it up among her family. “I always thought, `Wouldn’t it be nice to win $100,000, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”’ she said. “I checked it with the girl at the lottery counter, and she said, `You’ve won more than 6 million dollars.’ I just felt numb.” She will do what her dream told her to do and divide her winnings among family members. “I’ll keep some for emergencies,” she said. “I live a simple life. I don’t need a fancy apartment. I am happy.”

Broadway lights lowered for Wallach

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Broadway theatres will dim their marquee lights tonight in memory of Eli Wallach, the movie and theatre star who earned a best featured actor Tony Award in 1951. The Broadway League said the lights will be dimmed for one minute. Wallach died Tuesday evening in New York from natural causes. He performed in more than two dozen Broadway shows, including his awardwinning turn opposite Maureen Stapleton in Tennessee Williams’ “The Rose Tattoo.” His other Broadway credits include “Camino Real,” ”The Chairs and the Lesson,“ ”Mister Roberts,“ ”The Teahouse of the August Moon,“ ”Major Barbara,“ ”Luv,“ ”Rhinoceros“ and ”Staircase.“ He and his wife Anne Jackson appeared together in 15 Broadway plays, becoming one of the best-known acting couples in American theatre.

Graduation day for quadruplets

THE CANADIAN PRESS CARBERRY, Man. - When they were born 17 years ago, the Carberry quadruplets barely weighed three pounds each and there were doubts they would even survive. This week, they graduated high school. Greg Lavich, who is technically the oldest of the quadruplets, says graduating is all he’s been able to think of for the last six months. He and his sisters Maryn and Janelle are heading to the University of Manitoba this fall, where Greg will take agronomy and the girls will take a general first-year program. Their brother Myles will be sticking around Carberry, which is 50 kilometres east of Brandon, to enroll in a heavy-duty mechanics course. Their parents, Ed and Heather Lavich, say it was a tough road at times but they’re very proud of their children. The quads were born 10 weeks ahead of schedule, at oneminute intervals.

“We jumped a lot of hoops, health-wise,” recalls their father. Their mother spent part of grad day laying out cards for them marked Baby A, Baby B, Baby C and Baby D. “I just ended up going, `We’re proud of you. We love you to the moon and back,’ ” she says before dissolving into happy tears. The now-healthy teens say it was that love along with the support of their older sister, Caitlyn, that gave them the tools they need to go out and make it on their own. “I guess I feel really lucky and fortunate to have them, and to spend the whole day with them,” says Maryn. Janelle says moving away from the family farm and living in the city will be a big adjustment: “It’s going to be hard to be so far apart.” But good news for mom and dad - even though the kids are moving out now, they all say they eventually plan to come back close to home and keep living a farm life, like they always have.

Church sues Bountiful sect leader

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is suing the religious leader of a small polygamous sect in British Columbia, alleging Winston Blackmore has violated the church’s trademarks and is attempting to portray himself - and his controversial community - as a part of mainstream Mormonism. The Salt Lake City-based church has filed a notice of claim against a corporation set up by Blackmore, who is one of two leaders in a commune in southeastern B.C. known as Bountiful. Blackmore and his followers practise a fundamentalist form of Mormonism that still holds polygamy as a tenet of the faith. The Canadian arm of the Mormon church says it tried to register Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Canada with B.C.’s corporate registry, but the application was rejected. The registry indicated the church’s proposed name was too similar to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Inc., which was registered by Blackmore in 2010, according to the statement of claim. The lawsuit alleges Blackmore is attempting to suggest his group is sanctioned by the official church, which renounced polygamy more than a century ago and has disavowed any connection to Bountiful or similar polygamous groups in the United States. “Adopting for its corporate identity the name ‘the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Inc.’ ... is yet another attempt of the Blackmore sect to convey a false impression of affiliation with the church,” says the notice of claim, filed earlier this week in B.C. Supreme Court. “The plaintiffs do not endorse, condone or support the Blackmore sect’s practices and tenets.” The Mormon church seeks a declaration that Blackmore’s corporate name violates its trademarks and an injunction ordering his sect to stop. Blackmore leads one of two divided factions in Bountiful, which is in the southeastern corner of the province a short distance from the U.S. border. One side of the community is connected to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or FOLDS, and its jailed leader Warren Jeffs. Blackmore and his followers split off from that group more than a decade ago. Bountiful has been the subject of numerous police investigations since the early 1990s amid allegations of polygamy, sexual abuse and human trafficking. In 2009, Blackmore and James Oler, who led the other faction at the time, were each charged with one count of practising polygamy. Those charges were later thrown out after a judge ruled the prosecutor handling the case was chosen improperly. The collapse of that prosecution prompted the government to launch a constitutional reference case, which ended in 2011 with a judge upholding the anti-polygamy law as constitutional. The RCMP currently have yet another investigation into Bountiful. A special prosecutor has been appointed to review evidence and consider charges that could include human trafficking, child exploitation and polygamy. The investigation followed evidence, presented at the constitutional reference hearing, that alleged dozens of teen brides were spirited across the U.S. border to marry older men. A special prosecutor was appointed in 2012 to handle the case, but there has yet to be any word on potential charges.

Keep God in Your Holidays! “O Lord, you have searched me and you know me….You hem me in – behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me….. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?” Psalm 139:1,5,7 Psalm 139 is one of my favourite Psalms because it reassures us that God has known us from before our birth and knows our inmost thoughts. God has laid his hand upon us and no matter where we go God is with us. As we head into summer and holidays, this is something to keep in mind. God doesn’t take a holiday from us so why should we take a holiday from

We go on holidays to get away from the hectic routine of life, but hopefully not to get away from God. It wouldn’t work anyway because whether we acknowledge God’s presence or not, he is still there with us no matter where we go. Holidays are a great opportunity to visit other churches in other denominations. Experiencing how other congregations worship is an opportunity we should all take when we

During the summer months, if you are not able to worship at your own church, find another church where you can worship or if there is no church close by, then have your own worship time on Sunday. Sing a few songs, read scripture, pray and give glory to God wherever you are. Remember, God doesn’t take a holiday from us so don’t leave God out of your holidays this summer! Rev.

Trail market vendor battles corporation over name BY WILL JOHNSON Nelson Star

For Rain Marie Shields, it all began

with a dream. Literally. “I was dreaming of this little gourmet popsicle floating around in

my head. I think it’s very funny because I don’t actually eat popsicles, or never did

before,” she said. That dream convinced her to create her own, locally-sourced frozen treat company Starsicles, which has been successfully touring around B.C., including the Trail Outdoor Market, for the last four years. But her dream may be coming to a premature end, as Popsicleowning multinational corporation Unilever is threatening to oppose her Canadian trademark application. Her American trademark approval has already been reversed. “Our lawyer said he’s never seen it before in his life,” said Shields, referring to their reversed approval. “We can’t prove anything. We can’t say Unilever forced them to do it or anything like that. But

it’s highly suspicious,” she said. Shields began the Starsicles with her partner Daniel Carlson in 2010. They created treats and sold them at farmer’s markets, festivals and weddings. The company proved popular, and became a hit all over the Kootenays. “In 2012 we moved to the Okanagan to expand the company. We had 3 booths, about 12 staff, it was really rocking and rolling. That’s when I started thinking we could build a little popsicle empire.” Shields applied for trademarks in both Canada and the U.S., and waited to hear back. “Things were just rolling along. You have to wait a fair bit of

time when you apply for a trademark. They scan all the names that have applied and then they’ll say you’re good to go. They send you that approval and then there’s another stage. It’s called opposition. They publish your trademark application and people who they haven’t been able to contact can oppose you,” she said. Things went smoothly at first. “The American one got approved at that stage, and before it did anything else Unilever made their presence known last Christmas. That’s when I first became aware they were on the scene for my little company,” she said. Shields obtained a lawyer, who informed her that at least

12 other companies with names such as Dreamsicles and Momsicles have been bullied out of having their trademark applications going any further by Unilever. “We’re not the first,” she said. “But we’re the first singing popsicle company from Nelson.” Carlson said he thought the letter was inappropriate, and that Unilever was going to unusual ends to protect its trademark against a small, locally run business. “They started to threaten us. They said we’re opposing you in Canada. If you do this, we’re going to sue you. You’re going to have to give us all the property with Starsicles on it, and we’ll destroy it. See LEGAL, Page 11

Legal proceedings hobble growth of small business FROM PAGE 10 “It was a heavyhanded, horrible letter,” said Shields. She was initially intimidated by their tactics. “We wrote back and said both Daniel and I deal with disabilities…and this was really frightening. I make fun when I say they scared the living popsicle pants off of us, but in fact it was extraordinarily scary.” Shields said they’re now unable to purchase a commercial kitchen or expand their business until the legal proceedings are settled. She said they feel hobbled by Unilever’s bullying tactics. “They haven’t actually opposed yet. They said they’re going to,” she said. According to her lawyer, Starsicles is capable of winning the suit because Unilever doesn’t own the word “sicles”. However, they can argue that customers will be confused by the similarity in names. “By the time we’re

changing it, they both said “no.” “It’s like a school yard bully saying you’re not Bob anymore, you’re Floyd,” said Carlson. “I’ve got a friend named Bob, so you can’t have that name anymore. It’s ridiculous.”

Shields and Carlson launched their Planet Bennu campaign to raise awareness and funds to fight Unilever on June 25. They have written music, produced songs and created an entire mythology that Starsicles’ enthusiasts

can engage with. Shields said she’s soldiering on because of the support from a woman name Deb Robinson in her building who offered to contribute financially shortly before having a stroke. When she asked Robinson in her hos-

New ferry in now service New $26-million M.V. Columbia capable of carrying 80 vehicles Submitted NAKUSP - The M.V. Columbia, B.C.’s newest inland ferry, is now in service, replacing two 40-year-old vessels on the route between Shelter Bay and Galena Bay on Upper Arrow Lake. The M.V. Columbia can transport 80 vehicles and 250 passengers. The vessel has wider lanes and improved ramp transitions for faster loading and unloading. The sailing time is about 20 minutes. In 2012, the Province signed a $26.5-million contract with WaterBridge Steel Inc. to design and build the new inland ferry. The vessel was constructed in Nakusp, providing employment for approximately 65 workers from across B.C. over the last two years. The M.V. Columbia is more fuel efficient and produces fewer emissions than its predeces(MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX sors. It also incorporates enhanced mainten-

The vessel was designed to enable underwater visual inspections, eliminating the requirement to lift the vessel out of the water every five years for an inspection. The vessel’s equipment and systems can be fully serviced from the car deck or inside the vessel. The name ‘M.V.

Jumbo Resort gets its share of Gas Tax Fund By Steve Hubrecht Invermere Valley Echo

Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort municipal council voted to enter into the Community Works Fund Agreement during its most recent meeting. The fund is a federal program (sometimes called the Gas Tax Agreement) administered by the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM), transfering federal gas tax revenues to communities across the country. The Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality will receive two payments of $25,000, for a total of $50,000 during the course of 2014. The municipality will be given the first payment once the agreement is signed, dated and sent in (as long as the UBCM has the Jumbo municipality’s 2013 annual gas tax expenditure report) and will get the second payment in December 2014. “Our participation in the Community Works Fund Agreement means the same as it does to any other community — it helps us to make sure that future residents will be able to rely on sound and affordable infrastructure,” Deck told The Valley Echo. “In our case, it doesn’t mean having to replace older services. We are fortunate to be able to invest the funds in services that reflect current best practices without the need to disturb settled areas.” Councillors also voted to carry Jumbo municipality’s 2014 annual report during the June 17 meeting. The report was open to public comment, but attracted none. The annual report summarized the municipality’s activities for the past year, listed bylaws adopted and laid out the municipality’s 2014 and 2015 objectives. Jumbo council also accepted the May cheque register at the council meeting, which totalled $496.82, with more than $250 of that as legal fees relating to the Ktunaxa petition against Glacier Resorts Ltd. and the provincial government. A B.C. Supreme Court judge dismissed the petition in early April.

Orioles silence Guns By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

The Trail AM Ford Orioles bats exploded on Wednesday in their opening game at the Grand Forks International Baseball Tournament pounding out 17 runs on 14 hits on their way to a 17-7 drubbing of the West Coast Guns at James Donaldson Park. The Orioles jumped out to a 7-0 first inning lead on the strength of a pair of singles and RBIs from Trail’s Joey Underwood, and a two-run double into left from Dallas Calvin that would also score two. Calvin, the O’s starting pitcher, took a 3-1 fastball into deep left to score Tyler Thorson and Kyle Mace to make it 3-0. After Cam Lowe and Cam Ferguson singled, Calvin would score on a passed ball, and David Profilli would load the bases with a walk. Underwood would then step up and deliver his second single of the inning to right field to make it 7-0 Orioles. The O’s would make it 8-0 in the top of two, after Kyle Mace was knocked in on a Scott Davidson hit. West Coast of Stockton, Calif., got one back in the bottom of the second, but the Guns’ hurlers would have a meltdown of nuclear proportions in the top of the third, walking eight batters, as the Orioles

advanced on multiple wild pitches and passed balls counting eight more runs in the inning to take a 16-1 lead. The Guns would manage to shut the O’s down over the next two innings, and score six of their own before the Orioles would close it out in the sixth with a run, and call the game in the seventh due to the 10-run rule. Calvin pitched four-and-onethird innings, giving up five hits, and five runs, while also striking out and walking five. Joel Graf came on in relief and ceded two runs on three hits while striking out four and walking one batter. Cam Ferguson went 3-for-3 on the night for the Orioles and scored three runs, while Underwood was 3-for-4 and Mace 2-for-3. In other action the Lacey Saints edged the North West Honkers 4-3, while the North Sound Emeralds completed the comeback, beating the Kamloops Sun Devils in 10 innings, 9-8, after scoring four runs in the ninth to tie it. The Langley Sr. Blaze walloped the Lacey Saints 9-1 in the early game Thursday. The Orioles had Thursday off and will face the Seattle Studs today at 5 p.m. and play the Everett Merchants on Saturday at 8 a.m. to complete it’s round-robin.

The West Kootenay Girls Softball League held their wind-up tournament on the weekend with three divisions and all three diamonds at Haley Park filled with action. When the dust settled the Salmo Strikers and the Trail Steelers (top) both won the Mite division championship after a 7-7 tie failed to be resolved in two extra innings. The Teams happily decided to share the trophy. The Trail junior Steelers (middle) kept their season unbeaten streak alive rolling to the championship with a win over Salmo, while the Trail senior Steelers edged League Champion Beaver Valley in the final with an exciting 13-10 seventh-inning victory.

Talk to son about adjusting meds for wife Annie’s

Mailbox

Can you speak to your neighbor directly and explain that her earlymorning activities are disrupting your sleep? She may not realize how loud she is at that hour. If you asked her politely to mow her lawn later in the day, would she comply? Would someone in the neighborhood offer to mow it for her at another time? Of course, if she refuses to find a better time, you should look into the noise ordinances in your area and, if necessary, report her to the appropriate authorities. Dear Annie: As an IT professional, I feel compelled to point out that “Hoosier Historian” was incorrect in arguing against digital copies of old photos when he said, “Computer programs change, and the photos are not always accessible.” The most commonly used file formats for saving digital images can be opened by many different software packages. In addition, if a less common

program is used, it is not difficult to convert the images to the more commonly used formats. I will agree with “Hoosier,” however, that original copies of photos should not be discarded, for the same reason that I would

advocate making several digital copies of photos and home movies and storing them in different locations in case of fire or other disaster. After all, images of loved ones, particularly those who have passed on, are some of the most valuable things families

own. Also, there’s a certain nostalgia appeal to having the originals to view. -- A+ Certified in NY’s Southern Tier Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, June 28, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good day for family discussions, because you feel sympathetic to others and vice versa. However, do not fall for crocodile tears. (If you think something fishy is going on, it probably is.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your imagination is working overtime today, which is good if you work in creative matters or bad if you are suspicious about something. Expect to spend time daydreaming. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If shopping today, you will be tempted by luxury and extravagance. Wait until you can make a sound decision in the future. Give things a sober second thought. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your idealism is

aroused, which makes you feel sympathetic to everyone today. You might have a Pollyanna point of view about things, which is OK. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You are willing to put the needs and wants of others before your own today. You’re not being a martyr; you genuinely wish for the welfare of others. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You find it rewarding to be part of a charitable group that wants to make the world a better place or help someone in need. It feels gratifying. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good day to ask bosses and VIPs for a favor or permission, because they might be sympathetic and receptive to your request. It never hurts to try. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Because your appre-

ciation of beauty is heightened today, give yourself a chance to enjoy beautiful places. Visit parks, museums and galleries, and see gorgeous, architectural buildings. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone might be generous to you today. Or vice versa; you might be generous to someone. Either way, people are mutually sympathetic to each other.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is the perfect day to meet with someone to patch up a troubled situation. It’s easy to anticipate what someone else wants. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) It’s easy to work in tandem with others today, because someone is ready to help you -- or vice versa; you are willing to help them. You can envision

how you want things to be in the future. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a great day for creative activity of any kind. It’s also a lovely day to enjoy playful times with children. YOU BORN TODAY You are warmly emotional and appealing to others. People like you, and you love to entertain them. You get a kick out of shock value and

Six of the best TV cop cars By ROB SASS

The cop show genre goes back to the pre-TV days of radio (where you had to imagine what black and white your favorite cop was driving). Here are some favorite full-size, rear-wheeldrive American cop cars from 60 years

of the best cop shows: “Adam 12” (1972 AMC Matador): Although it was shot in the 1970s, in many ways, “Adam 12” was a throwback to 1950s cop shows in which gangs, heroin dealers and street snitches didn’t exist and officers Reed and Malloy played by Kent McCord and

Martin Milner rarely drew their guns, let alone actually capped anyone. In seasons five through seven, they drove an AMC Matador. In actuality, the LAPD was always a strong supporter of underdog American Motors; they owned more than 500 Matador black and whites at one time.

Question of the Week Bob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: As the summer BBQ season and Canada Day celebrations kick off, it’s important to remember how deadly of a combination drinking and driving can be. Arrange for a designated driver or use other options to get home safely.

“TJ Hooker” (1979 Dodge St. Regis): The post-“‘Star Trek’ the TV series” and pre-“‘Star Trek’ the Motion Picture” years saw William Shatner in a relatively forgettable cop show that starred perhaps the least believable cop of all time, Heather Locklear. For much of the show’s run, Shatner drove an equally forgettable Malaise-Era Mopar full-size sedan, the Dodge St. continued on page 23

Regis. It’s fascinating to see them on the show because few people can remember the last time they saw one on the road — they’re nearly extinct. “Hill Street Blues” (1976 Dodge Monaco): The opening title sequence of “Hill Street Blues” with a memorable Mike Post theme song and a gritty look featured several fishtailing Dodge Monacos hightailing it out of the precinct. The Monaco in police surplus trim also served as The Bluesmobile in the film “The Blues Brothers.” “Southland” (1999 Ford Crown Victoria continued from page 22

Police Interceptor): No list of great cop cars would be complete without the classic Ford Crown Vic. The last full-size rear-wheel-drive Ford was produced from 1992-2011. The Crown Vic was the most widely used police car and taxi in the U.S. and Canada, and although they’re starting to give way to the Dodge Charger, they still show up in the rearview mirrors of speeders everywhere. “The Andy Griffith Show” (1963 Ford Galaxie): The Mayberry Police Department was fond of Fords. I’m partial to the ’63 300 Galaxie with the classic gumball-machine light on the roof.

Over the years, fans of the show have built hundreds of loving replicas of Sheriff Andy’s cruiser. “Highway Patrol” (1956 Buick Special): Perhaps the granddaddy of all TV cop shows, rough-hewn Broderick Crawford drove a huge assortment of Oldsmobiles, Buicks and Dodges through the 1955-59 run of the show. I particularly like the ’56 Buick Special. Rob Sass is the vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance. Hagerty is the world’s leading specialist provider of classic car and boat insurance.
