Fresh paint markings on the surface of Victoria Street outline the site of Trail’s ambi-tious construction project set to begin Tuesday.

The $1.6 million Victoria Street Corridor project will involve extensive infrastructure improvements including new curbs and drain-age, so driving through town may present some challenges this summer.

“The street will be torn up and there will be traffic pattern changes,” said Robert Cacchioni, acting mayor.

He said the impact of construction should be minimal as compared to the extensive 2012 project in Rossland that took eight months to complete and decreased business in its down-town core.

“We are hoping to wrap things up and have everything cleaned up by the fall.”

Although the city has released a public notice, the project was news to the ears of businesses and residents on Trail’s main street.

“I didn’t know there was a project, what pro-ject?” asked Gerry Robertson, from Lordco Parts Ltd., on Victoria Street.

Robertson said that people come to the store for a specific reason, and she is hoping that a traffic pattern change won’t affect business.

However, she did express one concern.“Tearing up this street with only one bridge is

going to be fun,” she chuckled.Victoria Street resident Geoff Lawrason was

unaware a major construction project was about See CITY, Page 4

The Silver City was glistening and fragrant with blooms as two international judges for the Community in Bloom (CiB) competition arrived to begin a tour of Trail on Thursday.

Robert Ivison, from England, and Alain Cappelle, from Belgium, have been to Canada for five previous CiB competitions, but this was the first time either judge has travelled to Trail, and both were impressed by the city’s natural environment.

“It is a beautiful area and we are enjoying the scenery and wildlife, it’s wonderful,” said Ivison.

Ivison is a leading consultant for the develop-

ment and management of parks and open spaces in England, and has been judging internationally for years.

Cappelle has a degree in landscape and garden architecture and runs a landscaping planning office in the town of Nieuwpoort (Belgium) with a team of six gardeners.

“The city is fascinating, especially the scenery and landscape,” he said.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was hosted by Trail’s CiB committee in Gyro Park last night, followed by a walk along the “Avenue of the Clans,” this year’s theme which celebrates Trail’s Scottish heritage, located on the park’s walkway.

A body was recovered from the Columbia River Thursday afternoon near the Waneta Dam expansion project, RCMP confirmed.

“Shortly before noon people in the area spotted the body and then an individual in a small boat managed to recover and secure it until Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire/Rescue's boat was deployed and made the recovery,” explained Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, media relations for the South East District.

“The body was then transported to the local hospital morgue.”

Officials did not make positive identifica-tion by press time.

A strange noise is emanating from your trusty steed. It is not always apparent. You

know if you bring it to the shop it is going to result in a scenario like the trip to the doctor. “Where does it hurt?” “Now that you men-tion it Doc, nowhere. I feel fine.”

Unlike the trip to your doctor (thanks to MSP) a trip to your mechanic is going to cost you some money right out of your pocket unless your vehicle is still under warranty. The thought of paying money and not get-ting something fixed stops many people from mak-ing the appointment. “How about if I wait and see if the problem gets any worse?”

As a service profession-al I would strongly sug-gest waiting for some noise to get worse is the worst idea. Getting a professional involved at the first sign of a problem is the best approach. By all means in the time lead-ing up to the appointment

if your symptom does not seem dangerous in any way spend some time to deter-mine how the vehicle must be driven to make the noise.

Does the noise occur only while braking, driving over bumps? Is the noise per-iodic with engine speed or road speed (that is when your tachometer is reading a certain value or when your speedometer is reading a cer-tain speed). Does it happen in forward or reverse? Hot or cold?

There are seemingly an unlimited number of condi-tions. Do not go crazy if you cannot pinpoint the con-ditions before your appoint-ment. The first appointment is critical even if a solution is not found. This is when your mechanic can inspect some basics. Firstly the

safety issues must be eliminated. Nothing is going to fall off? The wheels are tight? The suspension and steering are not worn right out? The brak-ing system is fully functional?

This prelim-inary inspection even if no prob-lem or solution is found will give

peace of mind if nothing else. More than likely two big

questions will be answered. “Can I safely keep driv-ing the vehicle?” and “Am I going to do any serious damage by continuing to use the vehicle?” The answer to these two questions are very valuable and worth the cost of the appointment.

If the answer to the first is yes and the second no then it is time to become your mech-anic’s apprentice detective. Start driving your vehicle like a real scientist. Turn off

the radio and listen. Gather all your logic together and determine what it takes to make your vehicle make that bothersome noise. When you can get the noise to happen every time you get behind the wheel then it is time for the next appointment.

When you make your appointment demand that the technician who is going to work on your vehicle come on the test drive with you. If they are hesitant (they’ve wit-nessed your driving skills), offer donuts.

Actually witnessing the noise in most cases will hast-en the solution. Remember though if having a passenger beside you makes the noise go away consider the rami-fications of adding an extra 200 pounds to the front seat. Remember, don’t forget to use logic!

Rosslanders can breathe easy now that a gas line break has been repaired.

A high-pitched whistling noise could be heard throughout downtown Rossland Wednesday afternoon as emergency crews and FortisBC workers strove to seal off a leak on a residential natural gas line.

A City of Rossland crew was working in an alley between First and Second avenues in upper Rossland when an excavator rup-tured the gas line at nearly 2 p.m.

“Crews arrived on site and they ensured the scene was made safe and then they brought the gas under control at around 2:50 p.m. by stopping the flow of gas in the two-inch main,” Michael Allison, spokesper-son for FortisBC, said Thursday.

“The pipeline was repaired and regasified at around 7:30 p.m. And then we began relights (to appliances) to six customers who were unfortunately affected.”

Regional fire worked closely alongside to ensure the safety of Rossland residents, according to Terry Martin, regional fire chief.

“Fifteen houses in the neighbourhood were cleared and a total of 10 Rossland residents were evacuated as a safety precau-tion,” he said.

Members were testing the atmospheres of evacuated houses for accumulated natu-ral gas before allowing residents to return to their homes.

Customers are asked to do their research before digging by calling BC One Call to locate any underground utilities.

A local sound guy is hooking emerging artists up to a regular gig in Trail with the introduction of Live N Local.

A mixture of tal-ent is ready to hit the Arlington Bar and Grill together for the first time this Saturday at 8:30 p.m.

“I noticed that there is a lack of venues for artists to perform in Greater Trail,” explained Rupert Keiller, the sound technician and host of the new event. “I wanted people to be able to bring what they have practiced, what they are inspired by so we can all hear and appreciate it.”

Live N Local is a chance for Kootenay musicians to show-case their talent local-ly with the potential to line up future work through networking and at the same time gain new fans.

Saturday night’s event includes per-formances by Dawn Graham, Garth

McKinnon, 17-year-old Leila Heidt, mem-bers of No Fine Print, Carla Hanna and maybe Keiller him-self, who is secretly a big star in Australia under the name Sonicanimation.

He retreated to the area for bik-ing and skiing about eight years ago and has lived in Rossland since. Though Keiller (and Sonicanimation) recently released a new album “Once

More From the Bottom,” he plans to do some covers with his electric guitar in hand.

“Although (Live N Local) is my baby, I do some work with Jeff and Caroline

(Boag), the owners of the Arlington, and they are always look-ing for new ideas for their Saturday nights to try and keep things fresh,” said Keiller. “I approached them with the idea and they were

keen to try it.”Keiller compared

it to Joe Hill Coffee House in Rossland with the exception of a licensed venue with an adult audience, who have the option of digging into some eats while enjoying the entertainment.

Caroline Boag said the introduction of Live N Local fits in well with the A’s regu-lar offerings.

Since the Boags purchased the hotel, which has been in Trail since 1896, the business has morphed into more of a res-taurant but has main-tained as one, if not the only, bar in the Silver City where patrons can catch a live performance.

Beyond hosting bands on the week-end, the Big A has attracted raw talent to its stage before through karaoke nights and perform-ances from Kootenay Idol contestants. Boag expects the no-cover-charge event will attract “seasoned musicians.”

Those interested in adding their voice to the night still have time but must sign up through Keiller (512-2132) today.

As the summer wears on the Warfield Centennial Pool is still empty and a work in progress.

Warfield recrea-tion director, Teresa Mandoli, says the work is still underway but unfortunately not quite finished yet.

“They’re down to the second coat of the concrete sur-face treatment,” Mandoli said. “Then the surface has to cure before it can be painted.”

The reported $50,000 renovation of the popular sum-mer spot has been held up by unfavour-able weather condi-tions since spring but Village staff are hope-ful it will be oper-ational in the near future.

“It’s just taken a bit longer than expected,” said Mandoli. “We hope to be ready to go next week.”

In addition to colour and texture in gardens, the trend of sustainabil-

ity is an aspect to the competition that both judges look for.

“We look to see how people are adapting to climate change,” said Ivison.

“And how they are reducing the demand on water consumption and other finite resources,” he said.

“The CiB program is not just about flowers in bloom, there is a lot more to it than that.”

The final results from the judg-ing will be announced in Ottawa in October.

Geoff Lawrason is hoping the construction on his Victoria Street doorstep leads to improvements for pedestrians in downtown Trail.

FROM PAGE 1to begin on his door-step, although he is looking forward to seeing improvements, especially for pedes-trians living down-town.

“The problem here is a lot of traffic and people driving way to fast,” he said

A medical condi-tion limits Lawrason’s mobility, so often he zigzags his way across

the highway toward McDonald’s.

“It would be nice to cross the highway safely maybe with a new crosswalk here,” he said at his resi-dence, located across the street from the Best Western Plus Columbia River Hotel.

“Because the way it is now, it is too danger-ous.”

Thursday after-noon, Andrea Jolly,

media relations for the city, said that business-es, residents and ten-ants on Victoria Street and side streets from Glover Road/Tamarac Ave to the Victoria Street Bridge will receive notification on Monday.

A notice of con-struction will be issued to warn of heavy equip-ment and crews work-ing in the area. The construction may cause short term road and sidewalk closures, impacts to water ser-vices, increased noise

levels, minor vibra-tions and interrup-tions to normal vehicle and pedestrian routes.

Although the city has not received the approved Ministry of Transport’s report, sin-gle lane two-way traffic for the majority of the project can be expected with minor delays, said Jolly.

The city’s goal is to wrap up the con-struction phase of the project by this fall, at which time the MOT is set to begin re-paving Victoria Street.

Time change for Trudeau’s Monday visit

B y V a l e r i e r o s s iTimes Staff

Trail is one of the next stops for Justin Trudeau's cross-country vacation.

The federal Liberal leader is scheduled to appear at Gyro Park just after 12:30 p.m. Monday, a change in schedule recently made, where he'll shake hands with the public before hitting the road again.

His family is making their way through the province, where many relatives live, said Dan Ashman, president of the Southern Interior Liberal Riding Association.

“It's amazing, I've got to tell

you my phone has been ring-ing off the hook,” said Ashman Thursday.

“People are saying, 'Are you kidding? Justin Trudeau is com-ing here? I'll be there.'”

Trudeau has a voice for the people, said Ashman, noting his teaching background, which isn't the norm in politics.

“The democracy of our country, which is Canada, is a very import-ant and cherished thing in our country but we're not getting the engagement of the next genera-tion meaning the X Y Generation, the younger people, and its' really needed in order for us to sustain our democracy,” he added.

“This guys going to breath some new life in politics.”

City will notify residents and businesses

Liberal leader will be atGyro Park at 12:30 p.m.

DARULA, JULIUS — passed away at home after a battle with Cancer. Julius was born 88 years ago, on April 14, 1925 in Oroshaza Hungary. His life’s j o u r n e y had him arrive in Fru i tva le in May, 1975 via 12 years in Toron-to, and 16 years in England where he met his wife of 50 years Noreen. He is survived by his wife and sons David, John and his wife Kathleen, and his two grandsons Chris-topher and Daniel Darula.

Julius’ family move to British Columbia afforded him the opportunity to pur-sue two life long dreams. One was to build the drawing board, that he drew the plans on to build his own home. He said as the foundations were being poured that “this home would be his last address”. The other was to prospect for gold, a dream he had carried from his youth.

Julius will always be re-membered for his passion for wood work and his creations will live on as family heir-looms.

He was always there to lend a hand and always enjoyed sharing a “barley sandwich” with anyone who stopped by for a visit.

At Julius’s request, there is to be no formal funeral service but the family will be hosting an Open House from 1 till 3 PM on Saturday July 20, 2013 at Julius’s home.

TENTA, ERWIN — November 18, 1940 to July 12, 2013

Erwin was born in Czecho-slovakia and grew up in Clov-erdale, BC. After graduating from UBC he moved with his wife Leslie to work at Pratt Whitney Aircraft in Montreal.

In 1978, Erwin and his family arrived in Fruitvale. Initially, much of his free time was spent on a house-b u i l d i n g p r o j e c t , but he still found time to in-dulge his passion for f ishing—when the s a l m o n � ies were hatching, he was an extra happy man! Biking, hiking, canoeing, the birds, trees, plants, skiing, dinner dances in the Gulch and steak fries by the Colum-bia were all important parts of his Kootenay life.

Erwin’s professional life as a metallurgical engin-eer challenged and satis� ed his keen mind. At Cominco, and later CESL, he worked in Materials Engineering with an emphasis in welding procedures and inspection, failure analysis and pressure vessels. Erwin left CESL in 1992 to work with West Coast Energy, based in Vancouver.

With the move to Squa-mish in 1993, Erwin’s road bike became a very well used mountain bike, he � shed fresh and salt water, took up cooking, renewed his inter-est in duplicate bridge and specialty beers and connect-ed with many new and old friends. Although Erwin trav-elled widely over the years, he always felt his own back yard was the sweetest place on the planet.

A loving, supportive father to his sons, Michael, Alan and Jonathan, Erwin always took a genuine interest in his family’s activities. He set

a good example with his hon-esty, integrity and caring. Er-win welcomed his daughters-in-law, Monique, Lisa and Kathy, into the family with warmth and love.

Erwin delighted in shar-ing his appreciation and knowledge of nature. His � ve grandchildren have gleefully absorbed their Opa’s enthusi-asm and will always associ-ate Opa with huckleberries, birds and other wild things. Davis, Mackenzie, Stella, Gillian and Oliver were read to, snuggled, taken on bike rides, taught many things, and played with by an Opa who could be serious but also very, very silly.

As he wished, Erwin died at home in Squamish. His family were gathered on the bed, loving him completely as they always have. During the seven months of his ill-ness, Erwin dealt with his pancreatic cancer with calm and grace, opening his heart to both family and friends. We shall miss him deeply.

A Celebration of Erwin’s Life will be held at 1:30 on Thursday, July 25 at the Exec-utive Suites Hotel, 40900 Tantalus Road, Squamish.

In lieu of � owers, dona-tions to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

***DIEDRICH, ALBERT

THEODORE “AL” — passed away peacefully at Poplar Ridge Pavilion on July 17, 2013 at the age of 85.

Dad was born on May 5, 1928 in Saskatoon, SK. He was the only child of Mathias and Mary Diedrich. He left Saskatch-ewan in 1947 to move west in search of em-ployment, settling in Kim-berley, BC where he was em-ployed by the CM&S at the Sullivan Mine.

Shortly afterward, Dad

met the love of his life, Rae Wardrope. They married on April 15, 1950 and together they raised 4 children.

In 1960, Dad took a trans-fer to Cominco in Trail, and moved the family to Ross-land where they lived until moving to Trail to escape the snow. Dad retired in 1989 and he and Mom enjoyed many happy years � shing on Kootenay Lake. Dad had a love for � shing and for bird hunting in his younger days. His biggest joy was spending time with his grandchildren.

Al is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Rae, his son Ted (Barb) Diedrich, daugh-ters Katherine Diedrich, Sharon (Neil) Thomas and Linda (Bob) French. He also leaves behind his grandchil-dren Mike (Sarah) Thomas, Phil Thomas, Krista (Jer-emy) Shannon, Jenny (Mark) Thomas, Christina (Logan) Diedrich, Stefanie (Marc) French and Curtis French as well as his 3 beautiful great-granddaughters, Aliska, Marlie and Londyn.

He was pre-deceased by his parents, Mathias and Mary and his infant son, Bobby.

A Mass of Christian Bur-ial will be held on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 10:30 am at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Trail with Father Jim McHugh, Celebrant. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Ser-vices™ has been entrusted with arrangements.

As an expression of sym-pathy, donations in Al’s name may be made to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation at 4 - 1551 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 9M9 or on-line at www.heartandstroke.bc.ca or to a charity of your choice.

OPINION

We’ll be more efficient when we turn technology off

We are being dis-tracted to death by the tools that surround us.

And the inability to keep focused on the tasks at hand is stressing us out.

Media sage Seth Godin had it right. He said: “A big part of doing your work is defending your time and your attention, so you can do your work.”

Technology has always promised to free us from being enslaved to labour. It was supposed to increase our personal productivity to such a degree that we could work fewer hours, have more time to think and more time to engage in recreation.

Such irony.Instead, technology has

turned us into 24/7 slaves to our jobs. We are never – ever – out of touch from our employers. Even many previously remote areas of the country are now access-ible by either 3G or, too-often, wireless. There is literally next-to-no place to hide from constant digital harassment.

There is a perverse out-

come to this phenomenon: As we employ these tools to improve workplace produc-tivity, workers are, in fact, losing their ability to do their jobs.

In the past, a large com-ponent of most jobs was thinking time. If it was a manual job, you took the time to plan your course of action to minimize the risk of error and for maximum efficiency. In white collar jobs, planning was spent on finding a way to produce quality and control costs. Now, many employers seem to be single-mindedly obsessed with just making the hamster wheel turn faster.

We all dream of jumping off that wheel. For some of us, it’s not just a dream. Forbes Magazine recently compiled a list of the 10 least stressful jobs current-ly available.

Read the list, and ask if one of these roles could be a good fit for you.

University professor.Seamstress or tailor.Medical records techni-

cian.Jeweler.

Medical laboratory tech-nician.

Audiologist.Dietician.Hair stylist.Librarian.Drill press operator.There are some interest-

ing points to ponder in this “dream list” of stress-free jobs. For one thing, except for the professor, these pos-itions carry relatively little responsibility, and modest or low pay. None of these trades involve supervising a large number of people, making decisions that will affect a lot of people or managing troublesome things like budgets.

Secondly, a lot of these

positions are relatively low-tech. Although there have been innovations in the tools many of these work-ers use, gadgets like a drill press or hair clippers are still by their nature quite simple to operate. Compare that to the latest release of Microsoft Office or learn-ing the eccentricities of SharePoint.

And, finally, all of these positions seem to leave room for thinking time. You could argue that jobs like librarian or university professor exist to encour-age thought, and many of the others allow the oper-ator to think or talk while doing their jobs.

There are two implica-tions to jobs that put us under stress. When work-ers are under unreason-able pressure, they lose the opportunity and ability to think. Godin argues that we can only progress as a culture if we are innovative and creative. Constant dis-traction and the associated stress strip that ability from us, and the consequence is that we become a nation of detached robots.

The second consequence is about our personal hap-piness. When we have time to think about our jobs, not only does our stress go down, but it also allows us to do our jobs better. When we don’t have time to think, we not only do our jobs badly, but we become alien-ated workers who become a weight on the economy rather than a boost.

Employers can play a role in turning this circum-stance around. In 2011, IT company Atos banned emails at work, with CEO Thierry Breton arguing they are a waste of time, outdated, inefficient and ruining employees’ lives. “It is not normal for some of our employees to spend hours in the evening at home to manage messa-ging,” Breton declared.

That’s a start, and it’s an inspiration. If compan-ies really want to see more effective work from their employees, they’ll stop put-ting constant distractions in front of them.

CROWN POINT HOTELBRAT’S PUB

New Chef and new menuFresh food made from scratchIf you drop a frog in a pot

of boiling water, so they say, it will hop right out again. Frogs aren’t stu-

pid. Well, okay, but they’re not THAT stupid.

However, if you put a frog in a pot of cool water, and gradually turn the heat up under it, the frog will not notice what’s happening. It will happily sit there until the water boils, and it dies.

Now, I have never carried out this experi-ment person-ally – I prefer my frogs’ legs fried – so I can’t vouch for the truth of it. It’s just a story the e n v i r o n m e n t -alists like to tell. Besides, I a lready knew that human beings have trouble in detecting slow-moving threats. You can watch us fail-ing to do it every day: we per-sistently ignore the fact that we are running into trouble at a civilisational level, even though the evidence is all around us.

The foundation of every civilisation is an adequate food supply: human beings sim-ply cannot live at the density of population that civilisa-tion implies without a reliable agriculture.

But the supply of good agri-cultural land is limited, and the number of human beings is not.

You can postpone the prob-lem for a while by increasing the yield of the available land: irrigate it, plant higher-yield-ing crops, fertilise the soil artificially, use pesticides and herbicides to protect the crops as they grow.

But even these techniques have limits, and in many cases we have reached or exceeded them. So we are running into trouble.

Why isn’t anybody taking action?

Governments everywhere are well aware of the problem: we are now 7 billion people, heading for an estimated 11 billion by the end of this cen-

tury, and the food situation is already getting tight. So tight, in fact, that the average price of the major food grains has doubled in the past ten years. But everybody finds local rea-sons to ignore that fact.

The developing countries know that they are under the gun, because the standard predictions of global warming suggest that it is the trop-

ics and the sub-tropics where the w a r m i n g will hit food production first and hardest.

A (still u n p u b -l i s h e d ) study car-ried out by the World Bank some years ago c o n c l u d e d

that India (all of which is in the tropics or sub-tropics) would lose 25 per cent of its food production when the average global temperature is only 2 degrees C higher. China would lose an astounding 38 percent, even though most of it is in the temperate zone. And all that is before their underground water sources are pumped dry.

Most governments in the developing countries know the facts, but the short-term political imperative to raise living standards takes pre-cedence over the longer-term imperative to curb the warm-ing.

So headlong industrialisa-tion wins the policy debate every time, and we’ll worry about the food supply later.

The developed world’s gov-ernments do nothing, because until recently they secretly believed that the catastrophe would mostly hit countries in the former Third World.

That would unleash waves of climate refugees, plus local wars and a prolifera-tion of failed states, but the rich countries reckoned that they would still be able to feed themselves – and their military could hold the other problems at bay.

But what is becoming clear,

just in the past few years, is that the developed countries will also have trouble feed-ing themselves. Part of the problem is that many of them depend heavily on under-ground aquifers for irrigation, and the water is running out.

It’s running out even faster in China, India and the Middle East: for example, grain pro-duction has dropped by a third in Iraq and Syria in the past ten years.

But it is hitting the big producers in the developed countries, too, and especially the United States.

For example, the amount of irrigated land in Texas has dropped by 37 per cent since 1975. The amount in Kansas has fallen by nearly 30 per cent in the past three years. And now it is becoming clear that the impact of warming will also be much greater than anticipated in the developed countries.

In these countries, the problem is extreme weather causing massive floods and prolonged droughts – like the heat wave that hit grain pro-duction in the US Midwest last summer, or the coldest spring in 50 years in England, which has cut wheat yields by a third.

Combine the steep fall in irrigation, the crop losses to wild weather, and the diver-sion of large amounts of crop-land to grow “biofuels” instead of food, and it is not at all cer-tain that the developed world will be able to grow enough food for its own citizens in five or ten years time. So are the leaders of these countries launching crash programmes to stop the warming, cut down on water losses and end the lunacy of biofuels?

Of course not. The smarter ones just reckon that since their countries will still be rich, they will buy up whatever food is available elsewhere and feed their own people that way. It will be other people, in other countries, who go hungry.

And the slower ones? They’re just frogs.

In what will likely be the most expensive single-family property ever sold in this area, a private equestrian estate — Cherry Creek Estate Ranch — is being offered through an exclusive online auc-tion service with an opening bid of “only” $1 million. The property has previously listed for $7.5 million.

The five bedroom, six and a half bath home on 320 acres, just north of Cranbrook, is being auctioned through Interluxe, a company innovating the luxury real estate auction segment.

So what will you get for your $1 million plus bid?

“Cherry Creek Estate Ranch includes an impressive three-level main residence with a master suite

that boasts 270-degree views of the Rocky and Purcell Mountains, a gourmet kitchen with custom Bulthaup cabinets and Gaggenau appliances, as well as an indoor pool and sauna, reception hall, pri-vate office, home gym and billiard room. The two-level main horse barn features 10 large horse stalls, a farrier room, horse shower bay, three technical rooms, and radiant

heating. “Another highlight of the estate

is the large post-and-beam design collector’s barn that was hand-built by Bavarian master timber fram-ers. This magnificent building also provides a guest or caretaker’s full apartment.

“Additional improvements include a manager’s home, calving barn, and an outdoor riding arena.”

Over recent years, I've found there are many rea-

sons why people pre-fer low-maintenance landscapes. Some are not interested in tak-ing care of the yard; they haven't the time to weed, deadhead or prune; there are physical impediments; their passion for gar-dening and energy to pursue the hobby has waned. For myself, nowadays, the less work the better! While some wouldn't con-sider my garden to be low-maintenance, it's now a quarter of the work it was 10 years ago.

I still get immea-surable joy watching my garden grow and change through the seasons and, I still love the diversity of won-ders offered up from a well-maintained gar-den. I'm just not as excited about babying plants along as I once was and now prefer only the tough (dis-ease resistant), good performers!

So far, the major-ity of perennials and flowering shrubs I've planted in my back yard are mostly sum-mer-blooming. Since I spend most of my leisure time under the gazebo during this season, I have worked towards creating a sanctuary where I'm surrounded by the

beauty and fragrance of my garden.

I'm already enjoy-ing some of my favou-rite sun perennials. Along with the hydran-geas, the trumpet lil-ies (lilium), daylilies (hemerocallis), sedum 'Matrona' and shasta daisies (leucanthe-mum) are all in bloom.

Daylilies need a fair amount of deadhead-ing to look their best so I usually watch for the triploid specimens which have stronger, bigger blooms that last just a bit longer.

As I peruse my gar-den, I see a few spaces where I may be able to squeeze a few more sun-loving perennials. My next additions will include a purple lia-tris, coneflowers and lavender.

Named Perennial of the Year in 1998 and the 2002 Herb of the year, coneflowers (echinacea) have petals that droop from large conical crowns attract-ing bees and butter-flies. Purple was the original colour but new varieties such as the "Big Sky" series offer yellows and oranges. Coneflowers usually grow about 2-3 ft. X 3 ft., don't like to be

moved and get better with age. Most flow-ers are produced in the second and third sea-son. If you shear them back in the late spring you will see bushier plants that bloom lon-ger into the fall.

When most of us

think about fragrance in the garden, the always popular lav-ender (lavandula) is usually the first thing that comes to mind. Brushing against it fills the air with the wonderful smell of summer. This beau-

tiful plant grows to about 2 ft x 2 ft. It prefers well-drained, light and sandy soil and like most silver-foliaged plants, doesn't like applications of fertilizer (which con-tributes to the ‘leggy-look’). The secret to keeping lavender com-pact is to shear it into a 12 inch round ball in late August. If that opportunity is missed, wait to do it in the spring when all danger of frost is past. This

trimming will promote vigour for the coming season.

Blazing Star (liatris) is a wonderful ‘feature’ perennial for any bor-der planting. The rose-purple or white flower spikes open from the top downward and rise to about 3 feet above a low grassy clump of leaves. Although tol-erant of a wide vari-ety of soil types, lia-tris thrives best in good garden soil that stays evenly moist and

is well supplied with nutrients (compost). It attracts butterflies and bees. With a little plan-ning, all of our sunny, hot, summer gardens can be enhanced with flowers and fragrance and we won't have to work too hard to achieve some very wonderful results!

No Wheelchair Access Pastor: Fr. James McHugh

The Bible is full of spiritual explorers, men and women who ventured out into the unknown, often against

great odds and the advice of their friends or family. The Old Testament Prophets are perhaps the paradigm of spiritual explorers, challenging both the secular and religious authorities who governed them. There is a temptation to play it safe in religion and to play the

dutiful, obedient servant, but that risks stagnation. If you want to grow, you need to explore, and that may require going to places where you wouldn’t expect to find religion. The prophet Hosea married a harlot in order to experience God’s relationship to Israel. Jesus interacted with the dregs of society, tax collectors and people of questionable morals, and wasn’t shy about criticizing those thought to be the pillars of society. But, perhaps most relevant to spiritual exploration is Jesus’ sojourn in the desert. Indeed, a sojourn in the wilderness has become a metaphor for spiritual

exploration. The journey into the wilderness is both an escape from the everyday hustle and bustle of life and a chance to commune with God. We should find our own best way to commune with God, whether that involves going off alone to a quiet place or interacting with folks

with whom we wouldn’t normally interact.– Christopher Simon

Spiritual Exploration

“Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the

Spirit in the desert, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.”

They countered with a parody campaign, ‘Don’t Be That Girl’, in response to the 2013 ‘Don’t Be That Guy’ anti-sexual assault campaign.

The goal of ‘Don’t Be That Guy’ is to reduce the incidence of sexual assault by reaching out to perpetrators in its target demographic, 18-25 year old males. The campaign uses bold and direct posters to specifically address the problem of sexual vio-lence against women who are vulnerable because of alcohol con-sumption. The message is unequivocal: no con-sent or sex with some-one unable to consent is sexual assault.

Men’s Rights Edmonton has taken the images and layout of the ‘Don’t Be That Guy’ posters and twisted the language to disseminate their message: women lie about rape.

The group’s website defends the posters. One post presents the view that there is a “present imbalance in the collective psyche” that the group is challenging with the “pro-male mes-sage” of their posters. The “pro-male message” is that women commonly make false accusations about rape and this makes men the victims. The other post rationalizes that the campaign raises awareness about false allegations. While the group is correct that false allegations of rape damage the lives of those wrongly accused and constitute a wrong, it demonstrates a skewed view of the nature and frequency of sexual assault.

Men’s Rights Edmonton would have Canadians believe that false allegations are the norm when in fact they are rare. Through propagating the myth that women frequently lie about rape, the group reinforces the culture of violence against women, condones rape and rationalizes it by placing blame on the victim. The first blogger quoted above, in a callous show of disdain, dismisses victimization as “that tired out chestnut”, rhetorically demanding, “Victim? What victim? Give proof.” In this view, the real victim is almost always the guy.

The suggestion that a woman is responsible for her rape is to blame Eve because Adam ate the apple. In this prelapsarian myth embedded in the collective psyche, Adam points the finger at Eve and protesting his innocence exclaims, “She made me do it.” It is an unconvincing denial of responsibility and a display of moral immaturity.

‘Don’t Be That Girl’ exposes a deeply sub-conscious attitude, that of ‘woman as seducer’, which has been part of the collective psyche for millennia. Regrettably, 1 in 5 Canadians still hold this view, and think that women provoke sexual assault either by their actions or appear-ance. Although not the intention of ‘Don’t Be That Girl’, the campaign exposes the “she asked for it” mentality that places the onus for rape on the woman.

While these guys, Men’s Rights Edmonton, could be naively oblivious to the very real problem of sexual violence against women, it is much more likely that they are willfully blind. ‘Don’t Be That Girl’ demonstrates the necessity for ‘Don’t Be That Guy’.

Men’s Rights Edmonton has a peculiar idea of what constitutes an acceptable method of advo-cating for men falsely accused. To unabashedly transform an anti-sexual assault campaign into an attack on the integrity of women is a strange way to promote the dignity of men.

The Trail Little League Major All Stars baseball team are off to take another shot at the provincial Little League title in Kerrisdale today.

The week-long event starts Saturday with the final going July 28 at Elm Park. The Trail team is going with a 10-player roster that includes seven 11-year-old and three 12-year-old players from Beaver Valley, Nelson, Kimberley, and Trail. The young team may be at a disadvantage going up against teams of all 12-year-old players but coach D.J. Ashman isn’t concerned.

“They have a great attitude, they just play the game and don’t get to uptight or nervous . . . You just never know. Do you think we can squeak a few wins out? Absolutely.”

The six teams participating are eerily similar to the 2012 lineup at the B.C.s in Trail, with last year’s champion Hastings returning along with Dunbar, White Rock, Beacon Hill, and Forest Hills.

The round-robin tournament will be holding a home run derby on Sunday at the end of the third game with the banquet to follow at the park.

While the Trail All Stars may be young, they have ample depth on the mound with nine of 10 players able to pitch. Ashman is planning on tak-ing advantage of that depth to change up pitchers every 20 pitches, the maximum allowed by the pitch count without having to rest a game.

“We have a whole wide range of different speeds, different type pitches, and were going to go with the 20-20-20 rule so that all of our kids are fresh every day,” said Ashman. “If one kid’s going good we’ll stretch it to 35 but what we found in our two tournaments the reason why we’ve been in the games is we’ve kept the batters off-balance by changing.”

It is a small departure from last year’s cham-pionship when they rode a couple of arms perhaps too hard, too early, and they weren’t available later in the tournament.

“Last year we tried to ride a few guys, but it just didn’t work out . . . we had to have certain guys throw then lengthen them out, but towards the end of the tournament you end up losing those guys because they need three or four games rest. So if you go 20-20-20 or even a 35 to have just one game rest, then you still have a multiple array of things available.”

One arm the All Stars will be counting on is

the only returning player from last year’s team, pitching ace Brad Ross.

“Last year we had a lot of 12 year olds, and I was the only 11 year old, now we only have a couple 12 year olds, so it’ll be more of a leader position for me,” said Ross.

The team held a 2-6 record in two warm-up tournaments in Kalispell and Pullman, and despite the losing record the Trail Allstars were in every game and never lost a game by more that two runs.

“We have a good team this year,” said Ross. “I think we can go far, if we play at our best.”

The Trail Allstars may not be tournament favourites this year, but the experience leaves the coach optimistic for next year.

“That’s why I’m thinking we can pull out a few games,” said Ashman. “Their attitude is so posi-tive, they never give up, and the experience for these kids will be invaluable, they will be playing key positions as 11 year olds.”

Orioles host their stiff-est competition of the season this weekend at Butler Park, as they get set for a three-game series against the Thurston County Senators Saturday and Sunday.

The Orioles have played the Senators three times this year losing by scores of 2-1, 3-2, and a semi-final 2-1 loss in extra-innings at the Canada Day Baseball Blast tournament in Kelowna.

“They will be the best team to come here this summer,” said O’s player-coach Jim Maniago. “They are all current US col-lege guys with a few ex-college/pro play-ers from the Seattle area.”

The Sens have a college summer league in Puget Sound and they pick an all-star team from that league to travel with, and have made the money round in both Kelowna and the Grand Forks International tourna-ments the past few years.

“Their pitching is solid, their defense is excellent and they are fast, and use their speed to manufacture runs,” added Maniago. “They play hard and are run like a col-lege program and do things the right way.”

The O’s have com-peted with them in every game and were a strike away from a victory at the Blast tournament earlier this month. Trail will respond by sending Kyle Paulson to the

mound in the open-ing match with Darrin Kissock, Dallas Calvin, and Scott Rhynold being possible start-ers in Games 2 and 3. Trail has been on a roll of late, losing just one game (to the Senators) in its last eight matches.

Butler Park should attract a good crowd with an assortment of food and refresh-ments for both adults and kids, as well as a 50-50 draw going throughout the week-end.

Game time for the doubleheader Saturday is at 5 and 7 p.m. with the final game going Sunday at 11 a.m. Next week-end the O’s host the Cranbrook Bandits in a three-game series to see who goes to the provincials in Victoria Aug. 2-5.

B y T i m e s s T a f fThe West Kootenay

Diamondbacks almost stole one from the number-one seeded Mt. Spokane at the Washington State American Legion District AA tour-nament Thursday.

The Dbacks’ pitcher Scotty Davidson had a three-hitter going as he carried a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning, but a walk and a bunt single set up a dramatic come-from-behind vic-tory for the Spokane team.

With two out and two runners

on base, the Mt. Spokane hitter belted a walk off three-run home run to end the game, and send West Kootenay to the loser bracket.

Down but not out, the Dbacks will just have to take the longer road to the final and play the win-ner of West Valley AA and Round Table AA today at 10 a.m.

The single-A West Kootenay Phillies also opened its District A tournament Thursday at 4 p.m. against Mt. Spokane A team, but results were unavailable at press time.

B y T i m e s c o n T r i B u T o rFive swimmers from the Greater

Trail Swim Club (GTSC) qualified and swam in the BC AAA Provincial Long Course Championships at UBC in Vancouver this past weekend.

Eden Kormendy had amazing results with a first place in her 200IM, 100 breastroke and second place fin-ishes in her 200 breast, 200 free, 100 fly and 400 IM where she took 7.98 seconds off her personal best time. Ian Markus had a great showing placing

second in both the 100 free and 200 free where he took 12.24 seconds off his personal best. Dylan Kormendy took second place in the 200 Fly tak-ing off 8.72 seconds his personal best time. Aby Elwood, Sharman Thomas Jr both had several best times and both narrowly missed A finals in various swims.

“I am very proud of the kids for making the provincials and placing so well,” said Coach Andrea Wyers. “Their dedication to swimming and

commitment to the vigorous GTSC training program is paying off for them and getting Provincial recognition for swimming in our area.”

Eden Kormendy and James Pilla of the GTSC will be competing in the Age Group Nationals in Montreal in the upcoming weeks.

For the benefit of Kootenay Lake area residents, the following lake levels are provided by FortisBC as a public service.

Queen’s Bay: Present level: 1747.39 ft. 7 day forecast: Down 12 to 16 inches. 2013 peak: 1749.42 ft. / 2012 peak: 1753.78 ft.

Nelson: Present level: 1746.37 ft. 7 day forecast: Down 12 to 16 inches.

Levels can change unexpectedly due to weather or other conditions. For more information or to sign-up for unusual lake levels notifications by phone or email, visit www.fortisbc.com or call 1-866-436-7847.

One could infer, if one was so inclined, that

recent weeks have shown that the Home of Champions is still a pretty good sports town.

Swim and track meets, golf and soc-cer tournaments, tri-athlon races and other

events have all pro-duced strong showings by local competitors, and many smiles from participants.

That holds true with our, “Second Sport,” baseball, in spades.

T h e A A Diamondbacks were dominant in their international league, won their first play-

off game Wednesday, and are playing in the winners bracket as I compose this. The A Phillies are resurgent in theirs and began in that level’s playoff tournament Thursday afternoon, after start-ing the season 0-6,

AND, the Orioles, with a .333 winning percentage just a

couple of weeks ago, have won seven of eight (their only loss in extra innings), began a three week-end stretch at Butler Park last weekend with a sweep of Vernon and could very well rise to .500 or better before they head off to the provincials in early August.

Trail has always been and is show-ing itself once again to be one of the few Canadian towns that holds its own in, “America’s Game,” with the people that claim to have invented it.

I have been to lots of areas along the U.S. border where ball folks have been almost dis-dainful of Canadian play. Even here, every time some guy new to a baseball bastion in the bordering country encounters the diffi-culty of taking on Trail teams, he seems sur-prised.

It has been ever thus. Pickup local sen-

ior teams in Spokane half a century ago were competitive, even though, as now, many of the many good play-ers developed here were not in the mix due to moving on to school and careers elsewhere.

The previous hosts from Texas were shocked at the quality of both the organiza-tion and the calibre of local play at the Babe Ruth World series almost 20 years ago. Our Legion teams have earned grudging respect from managers from ball hotbeds like Lewiston over the years, and not just because they never expected to see talents such as major league star Jason Bay - who wasn’t, by the way, that much of a stand-out on the local teams on which he played.

Well, the Orioles, with a sometimes sketchy roster due to work and other com-mitments, are also proving the value of

our local coaching. It’s true they are 0-3 against this weekend’s opponents, Thurston County, but the close losses suggest there is every chance they will win one or more of this weekend’s games.

They finish their home season against Cranbrook, against whom they will be strongly favoured to win.

So, as I said, the Orioles could, after another rough start - due in part to not having anything like a full roster early in the season - get back to a respectable record before the provincials begin, on the strength of strong second half numbers.

The park is nice, the ball is good and the team has something to strive towards and enjoys your support.

So, there’s an enter-tainment option for you that won’t break the bank, or the back, and continues a Trail tradition.

Dear Annie: My aunt works at the doctor’s office where I am a patient. I am very pri-vate about my personal affairs, especially my health records. When I first saw this phys-ician, I requested that my records be kept in a separate area so they could not be accessed by my aunt and would remain confiden-tial. The receptionist assured me that would be done, saying many patients make similar requests.

Somehow this got back to my aunt, and she is creating a huge family fuss over this, telling everyone she was called in by her boss and almost got fired over it. She also said I posted derogatory information concern-ing this on Facebook, which is a complete lie. I am beside myself. I never said anything about her looking at my records. I only asked that they be kept separate.

How do I handle

this? She is making something innocent into something ugly. Please help. -- B.K.

Dear B.K.: It’s a good thing your aunt doesn’t have access to your records. It sounds as if she would put them all over the Internet out of spite. You have done nothing wrong and should say so. Tell your family members that you posted nothing on Facebook, nor did you make any comment to the doctor or his staff. (Although we wonder how your aunt heard about it.) Hold your head up and let her rant. As difficult as it may be, the storm will pass eventually. Your relationship with your

aunt, however, may not recover. Sorry.

Dear Annie: My ex-wife and I put our 24-year-old son through college. He recently was accepted to a foreign medical school that will cost $50,000 per year for the next three years. My ex decided to remortgage her house in order to finance a year or two of this expense. I’m sure she will feel that any additional expense he incurs should fall upon me.

We shared his edu-cational expenses up to this point, but as a retiree on a fixed income, I am not in a position to match her largesse. This has made me feel inadequate as a provider. I took out loans to finance my own graduate educa-tion and believe it would do our son a world of good in the long run to arrange his own tuition through loans and part-time jobs.

I am thankful that

my ex is able to assist our son, but it pains me to be unable to contrib-ute equally. How can I best cope with this feeling of inadequacy? -- Worried in Altadena

Dear Worried: Please don’t feel inadequate because you aren’t financing your child’s post-graduate degree. That is his responsibil-ity. We understand that your ex wants to make this exorbitant expense easier to bear, but no parent is under an obli-gation to finance their adult child’s continu-ing education and the accompanying expens-es. Remind yourself that you are teaching your son to be self-sufficient -- something much more valuable to his future than borrow-ing from his parents.

Dear Annie: “Parents at Wits’ End” said they are trying to deal with their 31-year-old bipolar son, who refuses to take his medication because it makes him feel “slow.” You recommended

NAMI’s Family-to-Family Program.

Please suggest to these parents that they also contact Al-Anon Family Groups in their local area. This won-derful organization provides comfort and understanding to the families of alcoholics

and those suffering from other addictions. Al-Anon focuses on oneself and not on the alcoholic. Meetings are held almost daily across the country and around the world. They can get more informa-tion through al-anon.alateen.org. -- Nelson
