The Trail Times has made it through the preliminaries and, just like Nancy Greene at the 1968 Olympics in France, it wants a gold-medal finish.

But it will need help from readers.The Trail Times submitted the front

page of the Feb 15, 1968 edition chroni-cling Greene’s gold-medal victory in

Grenoble into a nation-wide contest for the best front page stories and made it to the top eight in the sports category.

“The History of Canada in the Nation's Front Pages” contest by Newspapers Canada in collaboration with PEI 2014, asked newspapers across the country to submit its best front pages from the past 150 years. The contest coincides with the 150th anniversary of the 1864 Charlottetown Conference, which played a huge role in shaping the country.

Eight categories were open for sub-mission: Canadian Politics; Canadian Sports; Canadian Heroes; Canadian Arts/

Culture/Entertainment; Canadian Science & Technology; Canada at War / Canadian Armed Forces; Canadian Communities; and Canada on the International Stage.

“With the Trail Times’ 119-year his-tory I knew we would have some worthy submissions,” said Trail Times editor Guy Bertrand. “And sports was an obvious choice for a category

“With the help of the Trail Historical Society, which maintains a lot of our back issues, I came up with a couple of entries in the sports category on the Smokies 1961 world championship and Nancy Greene’s iconic victory at the Olympics in 1968.”

Frontpages.ca chose the February 1968 front page, and all other finalists, based on its newsworthiness, depth and detail, and quality of writing, totalling up to a score out of 100. The judges were on the lookout for the front page story's significance to the community, local impact, scope and excellence of content.

“The front page with Nancy Greene’s win was great on so many levels,” said Bertrand. “Her victory propelled her into worldwide stardom and she would be named Canada’s female athlete of the 20th Century.

Most people living in the Greater Trail area can afford a roof over their head, a comfy bed and three squares a day.

But for one night only, an event is being planned to give the community a glimpse into the life of a homeless person.

Coins for Change is an awareness and fundrais-ing campaign slated for Sept. 12 that asks local officials and anyone else in the area to experi-ence homelessness firsthand and spend the night sleeping under the Victoria Street Bridge.

Those participating will be asked to build shel-ters out of boxes, or pitch a tent and sleep out-doors in the makeshift refuge from 8 p.m. until 8 a.m. and all money pledged will support a local homeless-no-more program.

The challenge builds on a joint venture between the Skills Centre and Career Development Services (CDS) called Getting to Home, which is an initiative that launched two years ago with a goal to end homelessness in Greater Trail.

“The project well surpassed our ideas and what we had set forth to do,” said CDS spokesperson Gail Pighin. “We are coming to the end of our funding pool and hope to raise funds as well as awareness that homelessness isn’t a problem that occurs in larger cities,” she continued. “It is alive and happening right here in Trail and the sur-rounding areas.”

Pighin approached Montrose council July 7 asking for the village’s support in the event, however sleeping outside for 12 hours isn’t the only option she said, because the event is set up in pledge form starting with a $2 per hour con-tribution.

“I think if the councils stand behind us and make a donation or write a letter that they are in

Brayden DeWitt, 10, makes sure to keep cool in the scorching sun on Tuesday with a misting fan set up around the grounds of Andy Bilesky Park during the Little League provincial championship.

B Y L I Z B E V A NTimes Staff

With the sun blazing down on the baseball diamond during the week-long B.C. Little League Championship, it's a wonder that the players can sit in hot temperatures for a whole day while still keeping cool.

For umpire Derek Green, there isn't much that can be done about the heat. With full-body equip-ment and long pants, Green can heat up quickly.

“It's pretty hot, but not much I can do,” he said between innings on a 33 C Tuesday.

The umpires aren't the only ones on the field in danger of overheating.

Dunbar coach Mike Vrlak tries to keep his play-ers from getting heatstroke by stocking a cooler with a quick fix, along with “tons of water.”

“We have a cooler with ice water and some tow-els in there,” he said. “Every time they come off the field, they throw the towels on their head and their neck.”

Glenn Kirkpatrick, head coach for White Rock agreed with Vrlak’s strategy.

“[We give them] lots and lots of water and stay in the shade,” he said. “We also have a ton of cold towels.”

Spectator Catherine McGhie from Victoria says she avoids the source of the heat, the sun.

“I follow the shade,” she said, while sitting under a tent erected over the bleachers at Andy Bilesky Park. “When the sun moves around, I move around.”

Another fan from Victoria, Keva Glynn, has the same strategy, but covers up to prevent too much sun exposure.

“I cover up with the light coloured clothing,” she said. “I try to stay out of the sun during peak times.”

Not only do they avoid the scorching heat of the sun, these two women make sure to stay hydrated.

“Of course, I drink lots of water,” said Glynn, adding that she doesn't just drink the water.

FROM PAGE 1“That edition was also a great example

of the Times’ staff getting to Rossland and getting reaction from the Greene family and taking photos in the fam-ily home. Capturing that moment has become a piece of history in the Home of Champions.”

Submissions came in from across the country and judges narrowed the list down to eight in each category. Now it’s up to the voters to decide the best front pages over the last 150 years.

The Trail Times is up against national newspapers and major dailies in the Canadian Sports category.

The Calgary Herald has two covers entered in the Canadian Sports category. One front page showing off the 1988 Calgary Olympics, and another celebrat-ing Canada’s gold-medal win in the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City.

The Globe and Mail’s entry commem-orates the Canadian victory over the Soviet team in 1972’s Summit Series. The now defunct Sunday Star, former-ly based in Toronto, entered a front page with a congratulatory photo of the Toronto Blue Jays winning the World Series in 1992.

The bid-d i n g : East, too weak even

to make a not vul-nerable weak two diamonds, passes to South, who, with 11 HCP’s, opens one heart. In third seat, one opens a Queen lighter than in first, second or fourth seats. One knows game is out of the question, but one may get a good part score or a good lead from partner.

South, however, has a hand that would open in any seat except fourth. He has two and a half quick tricks. In fourth seat, South would pass with this hand because he fears that the opponents may find spades.

Nevertheless, South opens, and West overcalls one spade. North raises and East has not enough points to raise his partner. West has a good hand so he repeats his spades. South then com-

petes to three hearts because he has two or fewer spades. East should come in with three spades, but because of the doubleton queen in opponent’s suit, he does not.

The Lead: Ace from Ace and King of spades. This is a natural lead.

The play: East plays the four of spades on partner’s ace. If he had a doubleton, he would have made an echo, high then low. East cashes

the king of spades and then exits a club.

Declarer wins the King and plays a small heart and ducks it around. West wins the Ten and plays the King of diamonds.

Declarer will discard his diamonds on the clubs so if partner has the Queen of diamonds, a diamond lead is needed before the ace of hearts in knocked out. Partner has three spades and did not raise and has shown an honour in hearts because declarer ducked a heart to the Ten. Partner cannot have the ace of diamonds, but could have the Queens of hearts and Queen of diamonds.

Declarer wins the ace of diamonds and plays the King of hearts smothering part-ner’s queen. He does not dare

going to dummy because that would break communication in clubs and there may be a club ruff.

When West wins the Ace of trump, he cashes a diamond.

Results: Three hearts down one for -50 or two spades making for +110. North and South made a good bid because they only lost 50 points not 110.

Coins for Change is a campaign slated for Sept. 12 when officials and anyone in the community will be asked to camp out under the Victoria Street Bridge and raise money and awareness about homelessness in Greater Trail. From the left; Gail Pighin, employment counsellor at Career Development Services (CDS), Mary-Ann Kelly CDS housing facilitator, Teresa Crocket CDS employment counsellor and Sean Geist, former homeless client.

Organizers stocked up on cool treats and plenty of water

FROM PAGE 1support of this, that is what we really need,” she said. “That means they want this issue addressed.”

The village committed to the fund-raiser, and Pighin is hoping other local politicians will follow suit when she and Jessica deGeorgio, a support worker from Trail Association for Community Living, approach surrounding coun-cils in the next few weeks.

The homelessness initiative began with 28 people on the roster in need of assistance, but by the end of June this year, the program has helped 163 individuals from Rossland through to Fruitvale find a place to call home.

“This isn’t just about picking the person up and saying ‘Here is a house for you,’” said Pighin.

“It’s about looking at the dynamics and what has created this situation and how we can help them be in a better place and get the support they need.”

Single mothers, seniors on the verge of losing housing, youth transitioning out of foster care, brain injury cli-ents and people struggling with mental health or drug and alcohol issues have all found housing through “the home-less are here if you choose to look” project.

“It’s not the guy you see walking around or sleeping under the bridge

and other nooks and crannies in Trail,” said Pighin.

“We thought we would just get those guys and get them off the street. But it has turned out to me so much more.”

She is hoping that businesses, coun-cils, local agencies and community groups band together to make a dona-tion, or pledge to sponsor an attendee to spend one night under the bridge to raise funds that will sustain the non-profit service next year.

For information and to sign up for the event, contact CDS at 364.1104 or visit the service’s office at 1565 Bay Avenue in downtown Trail.

Search and Rescue per-sonnel along with a helicop-ter recovered the body of an 88-year-old West Kootenay man at Beaver Falls on Sunday

Saturday night, the Trail RCMP detachment received a call about a body at Beaver Falls after a group of hikers saw what they believed to be a body in the water.

Corporal Kelly Hall with

the Trail RCMP says the res-cue began as soon as possible the next morning.

“The South Columbia Search and Rescue (SAR) team, with the assistance of a Helicopter Long Line Extraction Team, recovered the body of an 88-year-old West Kootenay man,” said an RCMP press release sent out on Tuesday.

The release stated the death was not considered to be suspicious, and Cpl.

Hall says there are no more details to be released until the regional coroner is fin-ished their work.

“The coroner will be doing their traditional release in which they usually release a name and that kind of thing,” she said.

“I apologize for the absence of detail but that’s out of respect of the family.”

It’s the job of the coro-ner’s office to determine cause of death and manner

of death, whether it is homi-cide, accidental, natural, sui-cide or undetermined. The time between death and the release of the report depends on the coroner’s findings and the depth of investigation.

In conjunction with the South Columbia Search and Rescue team and the B.C. coroner, RCMP General Investigations, Police Dog Services and Forensic Identification Services were present at the scene.

Tips for staying cool in hot weather:• For an icy snack, freeze fruits and yogurt

for an ice cold treat in the heat• To prevent heat stroke, stay hydrated by

drinking lots of water• To keep the temperature indoors down to

a liveable level, close blinds and windows dur-ing the day, and open them during the evening to let in cooler air. Also, avoid using the oven during the day.

• When outdoors, wear light coloured and loose clothing. Dark coloured clothing heats up very fast.

• Limit strenuous exercise and outdoor work to morning and evening, avoiding physical activity during peak sun hours.

• Make a splash and go for a swim in a pool, lake or river to cool down quickly.

FROM PAGE 1“We make sure to go for a swim at the hotel

at the end of the day.”McGhie uses fans with water vapour misting

from them set up around the baseball diamond to get a moment of relief from the heat.

“I make use of the fans over there,” she said. “I just stand in front of it for a few minutes.”

Clare DeWitt, co-chair of the tournament committee says the group planned for the heat ahead of time with the misting fans placed around the grounds.

“They [set up the fans] in 2012 when we hosted the major provincials up here, so they suggested we do it too and they are awesome,” she said. “All you have to do is stand in front of one for a few minutes and it cools you right down.”

DeWitt and the organizing committee also made sure to stock up on tasty cold treats and cold drinks for when players, coaches, volun-teers and spectators get thirsty from the warm weather.

“We knew that it was going to be hot and we knew that people were going to want cold drinks,” she said, adding that frozen treats have also been flying off the shelves.

“We have been selling a lot of Freezies and frozen treats and a lot of water, but we planned for that. We knew that we were going to be over 30 degrees all week and we knew that people were going to go for more than the hot food.”

The tournament committee also made sure to provide the shade that Glynn and McGhie crave by setting up sponsor tents over the bleachers and giving spectators a cooler spot to sit without the harsh rays of the sun.

So far, the measures taken to keep cool in the sun have worked and DeWitt says they haven’t had any heat-related incidents yet.

“We haven’t had anybody up here, that we know of, having heat stroke,” she said.

“We have had first-aid people here all day, every day and we haven’t had any kids up here getting sick or anything.”

B.C. budget surpus hits $353 millionB y T o m F l e T c h e r

Black PressThe B.C. govern-

ment finished the fis-

cal year in March with a surplus of $353 mil-lion by keeping over-all spending growth

below one per cent, according to aud-ited public accounts released Tuesday.

It’s the first official surplus budget for B.C. since the 2008-09 recession, and a bigger surplus than what was promised by the B.C. Liberal government.

Total program spending increased only 0.4% during the year, which Finance Minister Mike de Jong credited mainly to a hiring freeze and restrictions on dis-cretionary spending in ministries. Health care spending rose $360 million over the previous year, which was more than $500 million lower than the forecast in the govern-ment’s post-election budget. Education spending was up $299 million, while spend-ing in natural resource ministries fell $337 million.

The province stayed in the black despite tax-ation revenues coming in $402 million less than the budget fore-cast. Natural resource revenues to the prov-ince exceeded forecasts by $109 million.

NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said the surplus budget was achieved “by picking the pock-ets of hard-working British Columbians” with higher fees and increases to BC Hydro, ICBC and other rates. Farnworth estimated B.C. residents are pay-ing an extra $300 mil-lion a year in such fees, not counting the latest increases to BC Hydro and Medical Services Plan rates.

De Jong noted that the province’s total debt continues to rise, topping $60.8 bil-lion including debt of BC Hydro and other Crown agencies.

“We are borrowing to build instead of pay-ing for the groceries,” de Jong said of the additional debt, which includes $3.2 billion for schools, highways, transit and hospitals.

B.C.’s debt stands at 18.2% of gross domes-tic product, about half of the level of Ontario and the feds debt-to-GDP ratio.

T h e c A N A D I A N P r e S SVANCOUVER - The B.C. government will

not impose a settlement in the teachers’ dis-pute even if there’s no deal by September, the finance minister says.

Mike de Jong said that means classes won’t resume after Labour Day if a settle-ment hasn’t been reached.

“In those circumstances there will be ongoing disruption. And I know who feels the pain then - it would be the families with students.”

De Jong said while the teachers’ union has failed to negotiate settlements, unlike other public-sector unions, imposing a legislated contract hasn’t worked either.

“There is no rational reason or explana-tion for the fact that one organization has consistently been unable to accomplish what every other branch of the public sector has managed to do - not always easily and not always without some pretty acrimonious and tough negotiations.”

Premier Christy Clark said Monday that the B.C. Teachers’ Federation needs to find its way to get into a settlement zone.

Clark said she believes the union should take a lesson from other unions to resolve the nearly month-long strike.

She said the government negotiator is on the phone every week asking the teachers’ union to return to the table, though B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said no calls have been put through to him.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SLONDON, Ont. - Former Liberal cabinet

minister Joe Fontana was sentenced Tuesday to four months of house arrest for a govern-ment fraud, avoiding time behind bars, but nonetheless leaving court with his reputa-tion “in tatters.”

Fontana resigned as mayor of London, Ont., last month after he was found guilty of fraud, forgery and breach of trust by a public official.

One act involving what the judge described as a “rudimentary and almost child-like” forgery of an expense document felled Fontana’s three-decade municipal and federal political career, leaving the one-time labour and housing minister crying outside the courthouse.

“I’m going to have to live with this for the rest of my life, but I’ve got a lot more to offer,” he said after he was sentenced, turn-ing away from the cameras as tears started to fall.

Superior Court Judge Bruce Thomas was at a loss to ascribe motive to Fontana’s $1,700 fraud, saying “personal gain” appears to be the only reason, despite his significant salary, benefits and office budget.

“The reasons confound me,” Thomas said. “Perhaps it was simply because he could.”

Fontana’s lawyer said he didn’t agree that greed was a factor.

“I think it was just stupid,” Gord Cudmore said outside court.

The judge said Fontana’s offence is more serious than the amount of $1,700 would suggest, because it involved abuse of author-ity.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SCALGARY - A man

who has been under investigation in the disappearance of a Calgary boy and his grandparents has been formally charged with their murders.

Calgary police said today that Douglas Garland, 54, was charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Alvin and Kathryn Liknes, and second-degree mur-der in the death of five-year-old Nathan O’Brien.

With his hands handcuffed behind his back, Garland walked with his head down and showed little emo-tion as he was sur-rounded by cameras

and reporters during the walk to the police department’s arrest processing unit late Monday night.

He did not respond to a barrage of ques-tions.

Calgary police Chief Rick Hanson said an arrest had been made earlier in the day Monday but said the person couldn’t be identified until the charges were made official.

Garland lives on an acreage near Airdrie, just north of Calgary, where much of the search by police has been concentrated since the trio vanished from the Liknes home on June 29.

The couple had held

an estate sale at their home that weekend and their grandson stayed for a sleepover, but when his mother came to get him the next morning, no one was home.

So far, no bodies have been found.

Police have said there was evidence something violent had happened in the grandparents’ house, but until Monday believed there was a chance they could be found alive.

“Even as the days went by there’s always a hope, there’s always a glimmer of hope,” Hanson said Monday morning. “Unfortunately with the laying of the char-

ges, we’ve taken that hope away from the family. So they are devastated.”

In an email to The Canadian Press, Teena Prevost, a sister-in-law of Kathryn Liknes, said her family is pray-ing police are wrong.

“Until the police can show us the bod-ies of our loved ones we will not believe they are deceased,” she wrote. “Praying we will find them alive.”

Teena is married to Randy Prevost, the brother of Kathryn Liknes, and wants people to know that family is suffering as

well.While refusing to

discuss the evidence in any detail, Hanson said there is no “smok-ing gun” that finally led to the arrest and the belief the three are dead.

Investigators met with Crown prosecu-tors on Sunday to go over evidence that had been gathered over the two weeks, he said.

They determined charges were war-ranted. An Amber Alert issued shortly after the family mem-bers were reported missing was also can-celled.

the president of the Palestinian Authority, said

something cryptic last Friday, shortly after the Israelis began their latest round of attacks on the Gaza Strip. Condemning Hamas’s conditions for accepting a cease-fire as “exaggerated and unnecessary,” he offered his condolences “to the families of the martyrs in Gaza who are fuel to those who trade in war. I oppose these traders, on both sides.”

What could he mean by that? Surely he was not suggesting that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of Israel and the leaders of Hamas, the Islamist organization that has effective control of the Gaza Strip, have a com-mon interest in perpetu-ating the current blood-bath for at least a little while longer.

Yes, he was suggesting exactly that, and he was quite right.

This is the third “Gaza War” since late 2008 – they come around more often than World Cups in football – and each one

has followed the same pattern. Some Israelis are kidnapped and/or killed, Israel makes mass arrests of Hamas cadres in the West Bank and launches air and missile strikes on the Gaza Strip, Hamas lets the missiles fly, and away we go again.

So why would Prime Minister Netanyahu be willing to launch Israel’s third war against the Gaza Strip in eight years? Because the nature of his political alliances with other parties on the Israeli right, and especial-ly with the settler lobby, means that he could not make a peace deal that the Palestinians would accept even if he wanted to (which he probably doesn’t).

That’s why he was instrumental in sabota-ging the Oslo Accords, the theoretical basis for a peaceful “two-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, dur-ing his first term as prime minister in 1996-99. Back in power in the past five years, his primary excuse for not moving on nego-tiations has been that Mahmoud Abbas could not

deliver peace because he controlled only the West Bank, while the intransi-gent Hamas ruled the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu knows, on the evidence of the previ-ous two wars, that Hamas can be battered into tem-porary quiescence but not destroyed.

He also probably realiz-es that if he did manage to destroy Hamas, its place would be taken by a less corrupt and much more extreme Islamist outfit that might really hurt Israel. He is just doing this, with no expectation of victory, because Israeli public opinion demands it.

Hamas’s motive for wanting a little war are

more obvious and urgent: it has lost almost all its sources of funding. Iran stopped funding its budget to the tune of $20 million per month when Hamas sided with the Sunni rebels in the Syrian civil war.

Egypt stopped help-ing it after last year’s military coup against Mohamed Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood govern-ment, and closed the tunnels under the border through which the Gaza Strip received most of its imported goods. Those imports were Hamas’s main source of tax rev-enue. Hamas is broke, and if it stays broke its con-trol over the Strip will weaken.

Whereas a war with Israel will rally the local Palestinians to its sup-port, and if enough of them are killed Egypt and the Gulf states may feel compelled to give Hamas financial aid.

So the only real ques-tion is how many dead Palestinians will satisfy both Netanyahu’s need to look tough and Hamas’s need to rebuild popu-lar support at home and

get financial help from abroad.

On past performance, the magic number is between a hundred and a thousand dead: around 1,200 Palestinians were killed in the 2008-9 war, and 174 in 2012.

After that – assuming that only a handful of Israelis have been killed, which is guaranteed by the fact that Israeli air and missiles strikes are a hun-dred times more efficient at killing than Hamas’s pathetic rockets – a cease-fire becomes possible.

We have already crossed the lower threshold of that range of Palestinian deaths in the current mini-war, so a ceasefire is theoretically possible now, but both sides will probably press on for at least another few days. Then the ceasefire will be agreed, and both sides will start thinking about the next round, only a few years from now.

But the dead will stay dead.

I feel it is of importance for me to inform the residents of Greater Trail about how impressed I was during a recent encounter with the players and coaching staff of the Trail Smoke Eaters.

I am working for Trail Parks and Recreation this summer, and contacted the Smoke Eaters’ coaches about having a few of the players come to Gyro Park to speak to, and spend time with the kids in our summer camp programs. Both the head coach, Nick Deschenes, and assistant coach Barry Zanier came to the park along with five players; Scott Davidson, Jake Lucchini , Jeremy Lucchini, Sheldon Hubbard and Craig Martin.

I would like to commend these five players for how bril-liant they were at camp that day, and how well they repre-sented the rest of their team.

I was so thoroughly impressed with how these young men conducted them-selves. They have shown that they are truly reputable young men and are worthy of our cities support. Each of these players was so enthusiastic and wonderful in playing games and helping the kids with crafts. Besides this, they were all looking so presentable, which proved that they took their visit to camp seriously.

You could tell that they put effort into the way they por-trayed themselves, including

their appearance – something that I very much appreciate and respect. Such a great example they set for these young kids who were at camp that day!!

I have not lived in Trail for the past four years, but I was born and raised here, and after this awesome experience with the Smokies, I have one more reason why I feel glad to be from this area, and I encourage everyone in our community to show their support for these amazing young men and their great coaches.

They gave a fabulous display of their solid character that day, and for this they deserve some praise.

OTTAWA - If you thought you’ve seen that snippet of “in over his head” Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau stripping off his shirt a zillion times, just wait - the political advertising season is about to explode.

After a relative calm, Canadians are about to be doused with messaging as the parties try to influence voting intentions before the writ is dropped sometime in 2015.

A look at the Conservative Party of Canada’s financial fil-ings with Elections Canada paints a picture of what’s in store: In 2012, the party spent just under a million in TV ads, and then $1.2 million last year.

Compare that to their tele-vision advertising buy in elec-tion year 2011 of a whopping $13.7 million dollars and you’ll get a picture of just what’s com-ing down the pike.

“It is a fact that money facilitates political discourse and that paid political advertis-ing is the only way for parties to communicate with citizens en masse, without the filter of the mainstream media,” Conservative Fund chairman Irving Gerstein told a party convention last November of pre-election spending.

The NDP pointed to the looming advertising boom in a message to supporters this week. The Liberals spent $1.5 million in TV advertising alone last year, compared to a negli-

gible $3,000 spent by the New Democrats on radio and tele-vision.

“Campaigning for 2015 has started earlier than ever before - and we have to keep closing the gap if we’re going to com-pete,” wrote NDP operations chief Dave Hare in a message to supporters last Thursday.

But how exactly will the parties plot their advertising course as the election draws nearer? The parties have offered some early hints.

The Conservatives have focused their efforts so far on Trudeau, with a campaign that tries to paint him as a trifling, inexperienced leader.

Conservative strategist and Ottawa consultant Tim Powers said with a majority govern-ment, the party has been able to roll out its spending a little more slowly, steadily building a story around what it perceives as its rival’s main vulnerability.

“You want to put on your base cover as if you were paint-ing a house, and then you want to add the layers when you’re ready to paint that house and move in,” said Powers, vice-chairman of Summa Strategies.

“You’ll start to see the second and third coats of paints coming forward later in the year and early in 2015.”

The NDP have done little traditional advertising over the last two years, although they have done targeted online cam-paigns around specific policy issues.

The Liberals, meanwhile, recently released an adver-tisement with the message that Trudeau is focused on Canadians and their issues, all while the Conservatives focus their energy on him.

The party has put Trudeau squarely in all of its market-ing tools, including a series of high-production value digital shorts of Trudeau having din-ners with average Canadians - a play perhaps on the adage, “who would you rather have a beer with?”

All of the parties, meanwhile, are paying specific attention to reaching voters with social media tools, including online petitions, Twitter campaigns, YouTube and Facebook.

Jonathan Rose, a political science professor at Queen’s University and expert on gov-ernment advertising, said the Conservatives might find it harder to make a narrative stick to Trudeau than his predeces-sors, since he already has an established public persona.

Still, Rose said political par-ties settle on particular messa-ges by conducting public opin-ion polling beforehand.

“The claim being made - whether it’s about a leader or leadership or policy - has to be plausible. In other words, it has to be seen by the public to be something that might be true,” said Rose.

“If it’s not, it looks like the party or the government is grasping.”

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVANCOUVER - They had

been separated for 13 years and by 1,200 kilometres.

But the chasm between Bill Olsen, 60, and his estranged brother, Bruce Sauer, melted away with a boyish bit of teasing on a bench in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside over the weekend.

“Idiot,” chided Sauer as he playfully cuffed his sib-ling on the back of the head, knocking off his ballcap.

Olsen hadn’t seen Sauer, who is 11 months his junior, since 2001. He didn’t even know if his brother was still alive until he saw a Canadian Press photo feature on the people living in the hard-scrabble neighbourhood last year.

A photo booth was set up for residents to pose for pictures. The project aimed to look beyond the gritty appearances of the people who inhabit the notorious neighbourhood. Some who stopped said they hoped friends and relatives would see the photos and know they were still around.

Olsen recognized the grey-haired man with a beard and a patch over one eye.

Sauer looked much the same Sunday, wearing a fedora and a black T-shirt featuring the rock band Journey.

He reached out to Olsen in February after a Canadian Press story outlined Olsen’s search for his brother.

“After you ran the story, for the next two weeks I had about 200 people asking every day, ‘Did you get in touch with your brother?’ and I dealt with it that night. I emailed you and gave you a phone number,” he said, turning to look at Olsen.

Sauer wears an eyepatch because he has Bell’s palsy, a facial nerve condition, and said that’s part of the rea-son he lost touch with his

family.“For a while when this

happened I didn’t want to see anyone,” said Sauer, pointing to his covered his right eye. “I wanted to get my act together and beat it on my own. I even had to miss my mother’s funeral because of it.

“I had to learn to get functional with it. There was no way I could just hide

in my room for the rest of my life. I had to get over it.”

Bitter mem-ories of their family life, first in Calgary and later in E d m o n t o n , may have also been part of the problem. In the earlier inter-view, Olsen had

recalled that Sauer and their father - “a very strict and harsh disciplinarian” - didn’t get along.

He recalled a day when his brother was in high school and their father came home tired and testy from a day working on a construc-tion crew.

“Bruce got the worst of it,” Olsen had said. “It wasn’t like he got scolded. Dad was very physical. I think that memory resonated with Bruce a lot because with Dad, if you stepped out of line, you got it.”

Their father died many years ago, leaving their mother to support the family by running a rooming house in Edmonton.

Olsen ended up moving to Nunavut to teach mech-anics (and legally changed his last name because he thought it would be tough to handle children with a last name pronounced like “sour”) while his brother moved west in the 1970s to pursue his dream of making it big as a musician because there was more work in Vancouver than anywhere else in Canada.

“But then the music busi-ness went to trash, a num-ber of clubs went down so I started carving, which is what our father taught us,”

said Sauer, who now ekes out a living selling soap-stone pipes.

They last saw each other in 2001 and over the last decade, Olsen became des-perate to reconnect. He still had another brother and a sister in his life, but he had lost touch with a second sis-ter, Sharon, and didn’t learn of her death until she had been buried in a pauper’s grave.

“He could die without a next of kin and he would be buried in a pauper’s grave without anybody at the funeral,” Olsen fretted of his brother in the earlier inter-view. “It was bad enough having a sister go that way - I don’t want my brother going that way, either.”

But those fears melted away as Sauer gave Olsen a tour of his neighbourhood and the two caught up on family news.

“It was a good day,” said Olsen. “He’s part of the com-munity down here that does look out for each other, but at the same time there was a hole where part of our family’s missing.

“It’s difficult as you get older and start losing family. You want to have family together making sure you look out for each other.”

Their reunion, he said, brought him nothing but joy.

“Bruce and I have always been fairly close. We were born in the same year. His friends were my friends almost all the way up to high school. We started in the same grade but appar-ently I’m smarter than him,” Olsen said with a mischiev-ous laugh.

“It’s because he’s older. That’s all it is,” Sauer chimed in.

The brothers have agreed to keep in touch with each other on a monthly basis and the two could end up closer together soon.

“I’m moving out to Alberta next year. I’d like to go out there and retire. All of my old school buddies are out there,” Sauer declared.

“I don’t want to die alone. I want to die with my family at hand.”

B Y G R E G N E S T E R O F FNelson Star

Passengers aboard the MV Osprey 2000 are being greeted this summer by Kootenay Lake’s new ambassador.

Thanks to a Canada summer jobs grant and money from the Columbia Basin Trust and region-al district, the Balfour Business and Historic Association has hired Jesse Adams to provide tourist information aboard the ferry.

“In the past we tried it with volunteers but it didn’t work out,” says the association’s Janice Cooper. “We’re trying to increase visits and stays in our area and pro-mote the whole region.”

Adams, 25, who is from Nelson, just completed a two-year business administration diploma at Selkirk College and will attend Okanagan University College in the fall.

He responded to an online ad for the ambassador position and started the job the weekend before Canada Day.

“I bring a big bag of brochures and maps and set up a table,” he says. “I do a couple of rounds, approach people, introduce myself and tell them if they have questions to talk to me.”

Adams says he tries to talk to almost everyone on every sailing, and

he’s slowly learning who the locals are.

“Feedback has been really positive. Lots of people say it’s a great thing. It also takes some pressure off the ferry staff, who won’t get as many ques-tions.”

Many people ask about about the ferry itself — its dimen-sions, how fast it goes, and where the wash-rooms are — while others ask where to stay and what to do in the area. In prepara-tion for the job, Adams checked local hotel and restaurant prices and has been boning up on local history.

For the moment, he’s working Thursdays

to Mondays from 11:30 to 6, although he may adjust his schedule depending on when the ferry is busiest.

He’ll be around to the end of sum-mer, exclusively on the Osprey, which has better passenger accommodation than the smaller MV Balfour.

Cooper said they have also realized another dream to install TVs aboard the Osprey — one each in the upstairs and downstairs lounges — which play DVDs from Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism with local information.

She expects there will also be opportunities to sell advertising to make the program self-sustaining.

A group of tempor-ary foreign workers from the Philippines will have their com-plaints over alleged discrimination at the Fernie Tim Hortons heard by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

The workers, repre-

sented by the United Steelworkers (USW), claim former Tim Hortons franchisee Pierre Pelletier made employees pay back a portion of their over-time wages in cash. Other allegations include that work-ers were required to rent pricey, substan-dard housing, given

undesirable shifts and threatened with being kicked out of the coun-try.

“While it’s unfortu-nate that a failure by our provincial and fed-eral governments to enforce the law leaves vulnerable foreign workers with little to no recourse, [this] decision affirms there can be a path to justice no matter where you are from or what your status in our country is,” said Stephen Hunt, USW’s Western Canada Director.

“It’s not easy for any worker, union or non-union, Canadian citizen or permanent resident, to bring forward a complaint against their employ-er,” he continued. “It’s even harder for a tem-porary worker whose very presence in our country is in the hands of the boss.”

USW Local 9346,

based in Sparwood, was approached by the tem-porary foreign workers last year, looking for assistance with their allegations. An inves-tigation prompted the union to retain legal counsel and launch a representative human rights complaint on behalf of the work-ers. President Alex Hanson is happy with the Human Rights Tribunal’s acceptance of the case.

“I think it’s a good thing,” he remarked. “Obviously in this case we’re seeking more than just justice. We continue to want to put pressure on a pro-gram, which at the end of the day, we believe is set up for abuse.”

The government recently announced changes to the pro-gram, which Hanson doesn’t feel has fixed the issue.

“In trying to deal

with the problem that [the federal govern-ment] themselves cre-ated, essentially all they did was make it smaller and sort of put it off into a cor-ner. Unfortunately, we still have employ-ees that are con-nected to employers; that’s wrong. We have employer led immigra-tion; that’s wrong too,” explained Hanson.

“Why would we let people who sell donuts decide who gets to come and go, and who gets to be a citizen in our country? That’s a complete and total train wreck still wait-ing to happen.”

No dates or timeline have been set for the tribunal.

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has also accepted a simi-lar complaint about tenancy from Mexican employees at a Dawson Creek Tim Hortons.

Another search of the St. Mary River has yielded no results in the continuing effort to locate 23-year old Alex Brown, who went missing in the river on Saturday, July 5.

“Another search was conducted on Saturday but unfortunately there is still nothing — no indi-cation of where he might be,” said Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel.

“We will continue to search, but not on as large a scale, as resources become available.”

Newel said the river would be monitored and checked as river levels change, as that is most

likely when a clue would be found.“If you recall the Findlay Creek

incident last year when the two young men went into the river in their truck, it was once the water receded that we were able to find one of the young lads. If it hadn’t been for the water going down, it is doubtful we would have found him. As it was, if we hadn’t had a dog up there, it’s doubtful we would have seen him.”

Newel says he knows the uncer-tainty is hard on the family.

“I know it’s tough for the family. We would like to bring closure as well. We would like to bring that to the family but unfortunately it hasn’t happened yet.”

Fundamentals are key as the Hasting All Stars hitting, fielding, and pitching has proven to be the best so far at the B.C. Little League Minor championship as the team has rolled to a perfect 4-0 record with just one game remaining today in the round robin portion of the tournament.

BY JIM BAILEYTimes Sports Editor

Twenty-five athletes and coaches from Greater Trail will compete for the Zone 1 Kootenay team at the B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo this weekend.

The local athletes will be part of the Zone 1 squad consisting of almost 200 participants from the East and West Kootenay and Boundary Region joining over 3,000 competitors at the Games’ opening cere-monies Thursday evening.

Trail Track and Field coach Dan Horan will be attending his sixth Summer Games as the Kootenay coach, one of the only Level 2 certified Track and Field coaches in the Kootenays. Horan will lead a large team of 25 athletes, with Trail Track athlete, September Stefani from Rossland, competing.

“This is one of the big-ger groups,” said Horan. “I have 25 kids this year which is more than I’ve had in a number of years.”

While events like the Summer Games are old hat to the longtime Trail Track coach, Horan says it’s all about the kids and watching them enjoy the Games’ unique atmos-phere.

“It is done like a world-class setting - more like an Olympic or World championship . . . it’ll be kind of neat for these kids to see what its like. It’ll be something that they haven’t experienced before. ”

Stefani will compete in the pentathlon as the only Greater Trail repre-sentative. The ages dif-fer slightly at the Games depending on the sport and for athletics it is 14 to 15 year olds.

“I have basically a junior development club and then I have some

Masters,” says Horan. “There’s really very few kids in that 14-15 year age (in Trail). What I attribute it to is there is lots of kids in the elementary school age and we have quite a good size club now but most are 10, 11, and 12 years old.”

Fruitvale’s Heather Johnson is heading to her third B.C. Summer Games as head coach of the Triathlon team, in what she says maybe the most challenging one yet; because, what has to be one of the most demand-ing sports at the Games, just got harder.

The triathletes now compete in five dif-ferent events with the Aquathlon ( a 300 metre swim and one kilometre run) and duathlon (1K run, 5K-bike, 1K run) going Friday, followed by the main triathlon, (300-m swim, 10K bike, 3K run) and relay event with a four-person team all doing a mini-triathlon, before closing out with Sunday’s F1 event, a short sprint triathlon.

“This year is the first year they’ve added the relay and F1 triathlon, so even in the first year the kids were busy and by the end of it they were really tired, so now adding these ones it’s going to be a really, really full week-end,” said Johnson.

The athletes qualified for the Games after fin-ishing in the top spots at the Wasa Lake Triathlon. Konkin also won the Men’s Christina Lake Triathlon last month and would like nothing more than to receive a medal from Olympic gold medal-ist Simon Whitfield.

With only 40 triath-letes in total competing, the best aspect of the small teams is the cama-raderie developed among the triathletes throughout the Games, says Johnson.

B.C. SUMMER GAMES

Let the Games begin

BY JIM BAILEYTimes Sports Editor

The Hastings All Stars went a perfect 4-0 at the B.C. Little League championships on Tuesday at Andy Bilesky Park, with a dominating four-inning victory over Beacon Hill.

The District 6 team has outscored opponents 59-17 in four games including a 20-2 drubbing of Beacon Hill on Tuesday.

“The first three games were pretty competitive,” said Hastings manager Rob Buljevic. “The kids are playing well, a little bit of a slow start at the beginning of the innings but they’ve turned it around.”

The team is fundamentally sound and deep throughout, with a healthy proportion of left-handed batters pro-viding much of the damage through the four games.

It started with Nicola Barba, 2-for-4, who knocked in four runs including a two-run double in the first inning

that scored two and set the tone for the remainder of the game as Hastings jumped out to a 4-0 lead.

“We have like six or seven left-handed batters so I try to mix it up, and not go too many left-handed bat-ters in a row, but it does help.”

Beacon Hill would reply with two in the bottom half of the opening inning after Spencer McGhie blast-ed a triple to the fence. However, a nine-run explosion in the top of the second would seal it for Hastings with another lefty Lachlan Holbrook providing the fireworks after hitting a double to score two, followed by a triple by Stefano Dal Sasso that also plated two runs.

When the dust settled it was 13-2 after the second inning, and Hastings bullpen and defence would take over and shut out Beacon Hill the rest of the way.

It was reminiscent of the Hastings Major All Stars that won the B.C. Little League Championship in Trail two years ago, something Buljevic remembers well as his son was a major contributor and would like

nothing more than see his younger son Luka duplicate the win.

“I would like to duplicate it, because you know that was a special time for me because my older son was on that team, so we have special memories here,” said Buljevic. “It was a great week, and great hospitality. It was a great tournament and that was the second step for the kids to get to Williamsport. It was a great time and great memories.”

Dal Sasso went 3-for-3 in the game with three RBIs, while Holbrook was 2-for-3

In other Little League action, White Rock downed Trail in the Monday night game 11-1, and beat Dunbar by the same score on Tuesday. White Rock sits in second place at 3-1 and will play Beacon Hill today at 10:30 a.m. while Hastings faces Highlands at 2 p.m.

Trail, at 1-2, played what might be a must-win game against, 2-1, Highlands on Tuesday night but scores were unavailable at press time. Trail finishes the round robin with a game against, 0-3, Dunbar at 5:30 p.m..

FROM PAGE 11“The biggest goal is

always to have fun . . . and because the triath-lon teams are so small, we just end up being one big B.C. Team,” added Johnson. “They definitely compete, there’s fierce competi-tion and some fast kids, but, then, as soon as its over, they are friends again, which is really great to see.”

As for the athletes, Hanna Schulze of Rossland will play for the Zone 1 Girls Soccer team and is looking forward to the prospect of being part of such a large-scale event.

“I’m looking for-ward to it,” said Schulze. “Playing as hard as we did in the last couple of games we played and getting to know my team a little bit better.”

The girls range in ages from 10-12 and consists of largely play-ers from Nelson and Cranbrook, who have been practiciing for the past month in anticipa-tion of the five-match, winner-take-all tourna-ment.

“I think we’ve had enough time, we could have more time, but I think we are ready,” added the 12-year-old midfielder. “It’s excit-ing, I’ve never been to anything like this, because it’s my first year of playing com-petitive soccer. I’ve been to big ski races but this is the first time I’ve ever been to a big summer event.”

Schulze will also be accompanied by the girls Zone 1 soc-cer coach Clemente

Miranda-Trevino of Trail.

Other competitiors and coaches from Greater Trail include golfer Ethan Paton from Salmo and coach Kevin Nesbitt, Lina Horan for Athletics, Fruitvale’s Jacob Mozak and Rossland Kelton Byres in Box Lacrosse, and Nathaniel Reimer of Trail in boys soccer. The softball girls team includes Trail’s Jenica Bouliane, Jordan Zilkie, and Emma Ingram, along with Jessica Paul, Haley Gould, assistant coach Stephanie Gould, and head coach Mary Ann Gould from Salmo. Swimmers attending the meet are Aby Elwood, Kira Konkin, and Ian Markus, with coaches Bill Park and Evelyn Fournier from Trail and Kayla Fraser of Montrose.

The B.C. Games opening ceremonies go Thursday night with competition commen-cing Friday.

- Baseba l l Commissioner Bud Selig can envision Montreal making a bid

to return to the major leagues.

The Expos joined the National League for the 1969 season and remained in the big leagues through 2004 before mov-ing to Washington

and becoming the Nationals.

While the Expos failed to draw 1 million spectators to Olympic Stadium in any of their final seven sea-sons, a total of 96,350 fans attended a pair of exhibition games there in March between the

New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays.

“I think they would be an excellent candi-date in the future. No question about it. That was very impressive,” Selig said Tuesday dur-ing a question-and-answer session with the Baseball Writers’

Association of America.“They have much

work to be done,” he said. “There’s certainly in my case no hard or angry feeling toward Montreal. We tried to keep a team there. It’s a long story now. But I thought that was mar-velous.”

You & The LawTYLEEN UNDERWOOD LAW OFFICE presents

PULLED OVER AT A ROADSIDE CHECKSTOP?So you stop at the local pub for some wings and a beer or two after work. Then you get pulled over at a roadside police checkstop while driving home. You blow into an “approved screening device” (a hand-held breath test machine). Now what?

If, triggered by a blood alcohol level of 0.05 or 0.08, you blow “warn” or “fail,” your driver’s license will be suspended on the spot for a number of days. There are other nasty consequences, and the costs and penalties mount if it’s not your � rst time.

This is BC’s automatic or immediate roadside prohibition law. Advocates supporting the law say it helps prevent injuries and death caused by drunk driving. Critics say it ensnares too many innocent people who really aren’t impaired.

One issue is whether a “warn” reading by itself is enough for an automatic prohibition. Or must the police have other reasons for thinking your ability was impaired before taking away your licence? If they don’t, and they remove your licence anyway, can you win if you � ght the prohibition?

An important BC Court of Appeal decision considered this question in May.

The driver in this case blew “warn.” The review of� cial said that was enough for the police of� cer to conclude the driver’s ability was affected by alcohol and to stop him from driving. The trial court said no, the police need more evidence of impairment (like erratic driving), and it tossed out the prohibition.

But the Court of Appeal decided differently. It looked at the broader purpose of the law and said the provincial of� cial had interpreted the law reasonably. The court � agged scienti� c evidence showing that at the 0.05 to 0.08 blood

alcohol level, one’s driving ability starts to get signi� cantly impaired and there’s a higher risk of getting in an accident. It also pointed out that it’s very hard to nab drunk drivers

only by a lucky police observation of impaired driving. Chances are such drivers have been a risk to others many times before. A person may have averaged over 40,000 km of impaired driving before being caught.

This favours random police roadblocks to test for impairment, said the court. It also favours standard rules like the law’s “blow warn or fail and you’re off the road” for curbing unacceptable driving behaviour. Ultimately, society’s interest and the law’s purpose is to get risk-prone impaired drivers off the road promptly and discourage people tempted to drive “under the in� uence” from driving. This trumps an individual’s privilege of driving.

This case is now headed for another possible appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. We’ll have to wait and see whether you can � ght a driving prohibition for a “warn” alone.

Of course, there are other ways to challenge a roadside suspension. For example, you may not have been told of your right to blow a second time into a different police roadside screener. Or if you ask for an initial review, the police report might be defective. So if you’ve recently been slapped with an automatic roadside driving prohibition, contact your lawyer immediately – the time window for protecting your rights is short, but it may be possible to undo the drastic consequences of a prohibition.

Co m m u n i t y justice forums and other r e s t o r a t i v e

justice processes are centered on the experi-ences of victims. They also give offenders the opportunity to take responsibility for their actions.

A further import-ant benefit, that is sometimes overlooked, is that they can lead to understanding and connection between people who were feel-ing hurt and angry. This week’s story is about how an incident of sexual harassment in a school in Maryland was resolved.

In the school cafe-teria line, a 14 year-old

boy took his friend’s hand, and placed it on the breast of the girl behind them. The girl ran out of the cafe-teria in tears, and the boys were suspended for 25 days. The girl’s father still wanted to have them arrested, but he agreed to attend a community confer-ence before taking that step.

At the conference, the boy who insti-gated the incident sat slumped in his chair, arms crossed, and gave a quiet, short version of what happened. The other boy was very apologetic as he spoke about what happened. The girl let them know how hurt she was.

Her mother plead-ingly asked the boys, “How would you feel if someone did that to your sister?”

The girl’s father was even more emotional, saying he lost a lot of sleep wondering if this was planned, or if it was just a stupid last-minute prank. “It just happened. We didn’t plan it.”

After several others spoke, the girl’s father saw the instigator still slumped with arms crossed, and said, “This is a waste of time. He’s just not getting it.”

The boy’s mother interjected, “He looks like this now, but he’s been crying at home over this.” Everyone was quiet, realizing that we don’t teach or allow our boys to show vulnerability.

The conversation continued, and within

a minute tears were rolling down the boy’s cheeks.

At that moment, the girl’s father leaned toward him and said, “Son, you don’t real-ize the consequences of what you’re doing, because you could end up in jail, and there are far too many African-American men in jail. And I don’t want that to happen to you because I love you and want you to make the most of your life.”

Tears welled in everyone’s eyes. The boys apologized to the girl, her parents, their own family and the principal.

The girl’s father suggested that the boys should return to school, and their role should be to protect the girls in that school. The principal agreed to let them back.

The girl’s father said that he would check up on the boys every week, which he

did for the remaining eight months of that school year.

T h E a S S o c i a T E d P R E S SLOS ANGELES - For the fans

of Archie Andrews, his impending death marks a fitting end for the do-gooder comic book icon.

The famous 73-year-old red-headed comic book character will die in Wednesday’s installment of “Life with Archie” when he inter-venes in an assassination attempt on senator Kevin Keller, Archie Comics’ first openly gay character who is pushing for more gun con-trol in Riverdale. Andrews’ death was first announced in April and will mark the conclusion of the ser-ies that focuses on grown-up rendi-tions of Andrews and his pals.

“Not to be too grandiose, but this demise is a fitting and tonally perfect tribute to a character who has always put his friends first,” said Chris Cummins, who writes about comic culture for DenOfGeek.us. “This is a publicity stunt for sure, but one with heart that will have permanent ramifications.”

Andrews’ final moments will be detailed in “Life with Archie” No. 36, while issue No. 37 will jump forward a year and focus on Riverdale honouring the legacy of their freckle-faced pal, who first appeared in comics in 1941 and went on to become a colorful icon of Americana and wholesomeness. Other incarnations of Andrews will continue to live on in other Archie Comics series.

“We wanted to not only grab people’s attention but really show the heroic nature of the character,” said Archie Comics publishers and co-CEO Jon Goldwater. “He’s will-ing to literally die to save his friend, Kevin. Archie would have died to save any of his friends. I think Archie would’ve even died to save a stranger.”

Keller first joined Veronica Lodge, Betty Cooper, Jughead Jones and Reggie Mantle in Archie Comics

in 2010. He later appeared in his own solo title. In “Life with Archie,” he’s a married military veteran and newly elected senator who’s pushing for more gun control in Riverdale after his husband was involved in a shooting.

While the original comic book series starring Andrews began as an innocent look at a group of pals at Riverdale High School, Archie Comics has in recent years strived to appeal to modern sensibilities with “Life with Archie,” a more socially relevant spin-off aimed at longtime adult Archie fans.

Over the past four years, “Life with Archie” plots have involved Keller’s marriage, the death of long-time teacher Ms. Grundy and Archie love interest Cheryl Blossom tack-ling breast cancer and affordable health care.

Archie Comics similarly launched a horror spin-off series last year called “Afterlife with Archie” that envisions a zombie outbreak com-ing to Riverdale and recently enlist-ed “Girls” creator and star Lena Dunham to write a four-part Archie story set for release next year that chronicles the production of a real-ity TV show in Riverdale.

Andrew Wheeler, who writes about the comic book industry at ComicsAlliance.com, praised the way that Andrews will be killed off. He wrote on Monday that “Archie’s sacrifice isn’t just a moment of heroism; it offers an unambiguous condemnation of America’s lax gun laws” and said that it’s “not surpris-ing to see Archie Comics tackling such a serious issue” because the publisher “doesn’t shy away from risky ideas.”

Who shot Archie? Goldwater isn’t spoiling the killer, only teasing it’s a stalker who wanted to take Keller down.

Iconic comic book character’s death saving gay friend, makes impact

Leisure

Dear Annie: My wife and I are a little concerned about our 30-year-old daughter, “Amber.” Every day, she spends an hour brushing her teeth and five full minutes washing her hands and then rechecks the same things about five times.

Amber says she can’t control it and it’s hard to stop. This has been going on for a little over a year. Is this anything to be concerned about? Is this just the way she is? Any advice would be great. -- Concerned Parents

Dear Parents: Repetitive behaviors like this are obsessive-compulsive disorders. They are not uncom-mon. However, OCD behaviors can become worse over time, and it helps to get treatment as soon as possible. You or Amber can contact the International OCD Foundation (ocfoun-dation.org) for more information and refer-rals to therapists who specialize in dealing

with this problem. We’ll be thinking of you.

Dear Annie: My dear mother-in-law has suf-fered with dementia for 10 years. This wonder-ful, loving woman did not receive the care she could have, and as a result, her quality of life is worse than it needed to be. I have some advice for family members when a loved one receives the dread-ed diagnosis of demen-tia or Alzheimer’s:

You need to learn about the illness, and you need to make a plan. Pretending the person is not sick doesn’t help. It makes life harder for them. I never real-ized how powerful a

force denial could be until I witnessed my father-in-law’s absolute refusal to change any-thing about their life. Expecting her to keep cooking, leaving her alone, etc., were truly acts of cruelty.

Realize that your loved one is not going to get better. He or she may stay the same for a long time, or may steadily get worse, but they are not going to improve.

You need to keep them safe and antici-pate that they may do things they have never done before -- like wander, take the wrong medicine or let a stran-ger into the house.

If you live out of town, consider the pos-sibility that those who live near your loved one may know more about the day-to-day situa-tion than you do. When you visit and keep Mom company all day and do fun activities with her, yes, she’s going to seem better, but it doesn’t reflect the reality of

her normal day when she’s alone for hours at a time. If the locals say Mom needs more care, they may be right.

Get help. Join a sup-port group or contact your council on aging. We hired a wonderful dementia coach who helps families figure out what to do. It is pos-sible for the sick person to enjoy the things that they are able to do if they are given support.

Consider that the person’s spouse might not be the best care-giver. Observe what is really happening in the household. You may need to hire helpers. In day care, assisted living or other facilities, there is trained staff, always rested and fresh.

Try to avoid isola-tion, for the sick person as well as the caregiver. Don’t turn down offers of help. I called some of my mother-in-law’s friends to ask whether they would come over and learned that they had been turned away by my father-in-law.

Someday I hope there is a cure for this horrible illness, but until then we have to do the best we can to manage life for those who are dependent on us. -- The In-Law

Dear In-Law: Thank you for tak-ing the time to write

and guide others who are in a similar situa-tion. We hope anyone affected by this dread-ful disease will con-tact the Alzheimer’s Association at alz.org. Their website has a wealth of informa-tion for dementia and Alzheimer’s. There is

also a 24/7 Helpline at 1-800-272-3900.

Leisure

For Thursday, July 17, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You often have a short fuse. (Hey, you’re wonder-fully creative and generous -- no one is perfect.) Be patient today, because the Moon is in your sign and everyone is feisty. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might find oth-ers difficult to deal with today (first early in the morning, then late in the day). Avoid power strug-gles, because they could get nasty. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Squabbles with a female acquaintance about money or possessions might arise today. You might feel annoyed in the morning, and by evening, you are steamed. Patience. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Do not wake the sleeping giant today when it comes

to dealing with bosses, par-ents, teachers and VIPs. It’s too easy to have a con-frontation with someone in authority -- and you won’t like it. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Avoid controversial sub-jects today, because it’s easy to get into a fight with someone. Don’t talk about politics, religion or racial issues. Be smart. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Squabbles about shared property or who is respon-sible for what could arise today. Could be in the early morning or could be in the evening. Just walk away. Don’t get involved. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You like to keep the peace, because you like har-mony in your world. This might be challenging today, because squabbles with female friends or partners might catch you unaware. Whoops.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Avoid arguments with co-workers today, because it’s just not worth it. Why make a fuss or alienate someone when you have to work with them the next day anyway? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Parents must be patient with children today, because this is the classic day for hissy fits and meltdowns. In fact, romantic partnerships

might be rocky as well. Take it easy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Domestic squabbles are likely today, especially with females in the family. To keep the peace, try to avoid this. It’s not worth it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This could be an accident-prone day for you, because you might be distracted or angry about something.

Think before you speak or act. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Quarrels about money, possessions or earnings might arise today. Do what you can to sidestep these, because you won’t gain any-thing and you might lose a friend. YOU BORN TODAY You are ambitious. You are con-fident and serious about attaining goals. (Sometimes

money and power are your goals, but not always.) Your strength is in your strong convictions. This is a year of growth. Specifically, many of you will build or construct something, but in doing so, there will be challenges. Do not make changes yet -- wait till next year. Birthdate of: Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; Mark Burnett, TV producer; David Hasselhoff, actor.

Randy StoneSept. 16, 1958 - July 16, 1989

The following poem was dedicated to Randy by Hunter O’Neill

Onward My FriendDo not think of me and cryFor I did not really dieMy body’s at its restBut my spirit’s at its best.Now my dreams are realTh e joys of freedom I feelSee the rainbow in the skyTh at’s me, way up so high.With the eagles I soarWith the winds I roarIn the rivers and streams I playIt’s a wonderful place to stay.With the deer and elk I roamTh e whole world is my homeAll the beautiful things you seeRemember, they’re all a part of me.Do not think of me and cryFor I did not really die.

~Hunter O’NeillForever loved,
