Oakley argues for watershed stewardship

Kimberley’s per capita water use among highest in Canada

C ArOLyN gr [email protected]

Kimberley is blessed with a reliable source of clean drinking water, a source that — even with climate change — will continue to provide the city with that most valuable resource.

But Kimberley is also home to some of the highest users of water in the country. It is home to a population that, per capita, uses far more water than most places in British Columbia, even Canada. Locally, Kimberley uses much more water than neighbouring communities such as Cranbrook.

Reliable source or not, the City of Kim-berley wants to get the water conservation message out. Robert Panattoni has been hired for the summer to do just that.

What he wants to try to do is change the mindset about water use.

“People are complacent because they know we won’t run out,” he said.

But just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

In addition to the fact that more water is used, the more wear and tear is put on the expensive infrastructure that brings the water to homes, you just don’t need to water as much, or for as long, as you think, he says.

“Fifteen to 20 minutes is long enough,” Panattoni said. “If you water longer than that it can be bad for your grass.

Watering should also be done in the eve-ning or early morning when the sun isn’t as direct.

“The afternoon is the worst time to water, you lose a lot of it through evaporation and the water on the glass reflects the sun and can burn the grass.”

Changing the mindset on water use

C ArOLyN gr ANT [email protected]

Kimberley City Councillor Darryl Oakley is not shying away from the debate over how to control access to the Mark Creek Watershed. He welcomes the debate and thinks it’s healthy.

His opinion is somewhat different from members of the Mark Creek Watershed Com-mittee, and some City Council members, in that he thinks stewardship has a chance to work, but he firmly believes everyone is work-ing towards the same goal, which is protecting the ecological integrity of the watershed.

“I do appreciate the efforts of the water-shed committee,” Oakley said. “They have worked very hard. They may be questioning my unorthodox approach, but we want the same thing.”

Oakley’s approach is that responsible com-mercial operators such as a snowmobile tour operator, or community groups such as the Trails Society, could in fact help police the watershed by providing education to those already using it. They could also report fla-grant abuses.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

Kimberley RCMP is looking for the information or owners of the following;

A black suitcase with wheels was found on 7th Ave in Townsite over the weekend. It contains men’s clothes and toiletries.

Recently police were conduct-ing an investigation into several car break-ins. A knife in a leather sheath was located in one vehicle but did not belong to the owner. If either of these items belongs to you, please attend the Kimberley detachment to claim them.

Thirty eight (38) pressure treat-ed fence posts were stolen from a property in Skookumchuck. The

posts were 6’ long and 4-5” in di-ameter. Suspects attended the property over the last few months and removed posts that had been placed in the holes.

Numerous old tires and rims were dumped on Crown land N.E. of Summer Sub division in behind the highways works yard. Dump-ing any material is an offence and the perpetrator has no regard for the environment. Police and other provincial agencies are fol-lowing up on this.

If you have any information concerning either of these inci-dents please contact the Kimber-ley Detachment.

One World Garden

Workshops start June 11 in

Kimberley and Cranbrook

sally MaCDoNalDTownsman Staff

Newcomers to Cana-da who have settled in Cranbrook and Kimber-ley will be able to learn about starting a veggie patch thanks to a series of workshops this year.

Starting on Tuesday, June 11, three work-shops will be held over the summer, with an-other three to run in the fall.

The purpose of the workshops is to teach people to grow who may not know a lot about conditions in the

East Kootenay.“It’s a great opportu-

nity for those new to the area, or new to garden-ing, to learn more about growing food locally and for longtime local residents to share local garden wisdom and learn more about the people moving to the area. Exchanging cul-ture in the garden, transplanting new tech-niques, sharing the tried and true, and feeding inspiration for all will be the goals of this time to-gether in the garden,” explained Wildsight’s Shannon Duncan, who is coordinating the workshops.

The classes will be held in Kimberley at the Cominco Community Garden, and at Cran-brook at the Public Pro-duce Garden in MacK-innon Park.

The focus will be on the perks and challeng-

es of growing here, as well as on sharing knowledge and skills acquired elsewhere.

“The workshops will follow the local growing season, covering as much as possible the basics of growing in this climate and covering the main challenges (specific pests, cold weather, dry weather) as we go through the seasons,” said Duncan.

“There will be some-thing for everyone, even experienced gardeners, as there will be tech-niques explored that could be new to garden-ers, and there is also a great opportunity for exchange among gar-deners at the workshops from both longtime lo-cals, and immigrants who could bring entire-ly new ideas and tech-niques, or even new va-rieties of produce to try out growing here.”

The first workshop, titled “Fresh Begin-nings”, will be on creat-ing a garden bed, con-tainer gardens and ‘no dig’ potatoes. It will be held on Tuesday, June 11 from 6 to 8 p.m. in Kimberley, wand on Wednesday, June 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. in Cran-brook.

On July 9 in Kimber-ley and July 10 in Cran-brook, gardeners will be taught to “Feed the Growth”, with a work-shop on compost and manure as fertilizer, to-mato care, and pest control.

On August 6 in Kim-berley and August 7 in Cranbrook, learn about “Berries, Roots and New Shoots”, at the final summer work-shop on berry and root vegetable har-vesting and care, and succession planting.

On Sunday, May 26, the Meadowbrook

Community Association hosted a celebration of the preservation of Cherry Creek Falls. More than 100 people joined in the festivities.

Now that mining has been prohibited on the 400+ acre former miner-al tenure, the Regional

District of East Koote-nay can pursue creation of a regional day use only park.

In the photo, the Di-rector for RDEK Area E, Jane Walter, former can-didate for the BC Liber-als in Columbia River – Revelstoke, Doug Clove-

chok, and MCA Presi-dent, Bob Johnstone celebrate the occasion underneath the sign proclaiming the site of the future park.

Johnstone noted the contribution of Clovechok and Wal-ters. “Doug’s strong advocacy was essen-tial in getting the Prov-ince to prohibit min-ing in this area; and Jane’s full support was needed to convince the RDEK to create the regional park”.

The Ministry of For-ests, Lands and Natu-ral Resource Opera-tions is soliciting com-ments from the public about the proposed park. If you wish to express an opinion you may make written submissions to:

Field trip program gets

students in touch with their

environment

Kimberley, BC – Wild-sight’s award-winning environmental educa-tion program, Classroom With Outdoors, is back!

Now in its 13th year, Classroom With Out-doors is an experiential, field trip-based program designed to connect stu-dents in grades 4 to 7 with the ecosystems in their own back yards.

Wildsight is able to offer Classroom With Outdoors free of charge thanks to the generous support of Columbia Basin Trust and local foundations and spon-sors – which is vital to ensuring that the pro-gram remains accessible to as many students as possible.

The program contin-ues to be as popular as ever – this year, roughly 1750 students in commu-nities across the Colum-bia Basin will participate. Wildsight’s exceptional team of environmental educators has already started helping students and teachers discover the wonders of forest, wet-land, grassland, and old growth ecosystems through engaging, inter-active activities – using fine nets to catch and ob-serve insects, journaling, role-playing, and much more.

‘There’s an increased recognition of the value of learning outside the classroom,’ says Educa-tion Program Manager Monica Nissen. ‘And we are starting to see the im-portance of understand-ing what is going on in the places where we live, of having a sense of local context and appreciating the ways in which intact ecosystems sustain us.’

Classroom With Out-doors draws rave reviews from teachers each year.

‘Our programs are cur-riculum-based, so they support the learning that’s already happening inside the classroom,’ says Nis-sen. ‘Teachers tell us that they really appreciate being able to meet curric-ulum requirements by going outside.

They often liken partic-ipating in Classroom With Outdoors to walking through a science text-book – it brings core con-cepts home for the stu-dents, making them memorable and compel-ling.’

Classroom With Out-doors is made possible through the financial as-sistance of Columbia Basin Trust, The North Face Explore Fund, Co-lumbia Power Corpora-tion, Fortis BC, Teck Coal, Teck Trail Operations, the Osprey Foundation, Cres-ton-Kootenay Founda-tion, and the BC Gaming Fund.

Wildsight views envi-ronmental education as a crucial part of building healthy communities and maintaining thriving eco-systems.

‘Ecosystem services are starting to be incorpo-rated into economics and value systems,’ says Nis-sen. ‘Classroom With Out-doors helps to teach these concepts.”

From Page 1And the water-

shed is being used, highly used, Oakley says.

“There is current-ly a moratorium on motorized access above 2000 metres, but if you are com-ing from Saskatche-wan to do some snow machining, do you know that? Like-ly not. We have users who are not aware that it’s a watershed. Then we have users who deliberately cut trees and make a track around the gates.”

Ideally, you’d like to see Conservation Officers policing the area above 2000 me-tres to protect the valuable caribou habitat, Oakley says. But if you can’t have that, why not stew-ardship by responsi-ble groups who have every reason to want to operate in a safe manner?

“I put out the idea of stewardship, of having people act as the eyes and ears if they were granted access. It’s unortho-dox in terms of pro-tection, but it’s not u n p r e c e d e n t e d . Other communities in North America have tried it. I put it out there to get the

debate going, so we can come up with solutions. I’m losing the debate on Coun-cil right now, but I’m trying, as is every-one else, to find a way to move for-ward.”

Oakley says that if you talk to old trap-pers and backcoun-try people around Kimberley, they will tell you that years ago the watershed was a real wilder-ness.

“It was a true wil-derness; recreation-al users didn’t go in. It was hard to access. Now we have the wa-tershed being used a lot. It’s under a lot of pressure.”

While some Coun-cillors argue that al-lowing commercial access to one snow-mobile tour operator would open the floodgates to more requests, Oakley does not agree.

“If someone has tenure, they have

tenure. You don’t give someone else tenure on the same spot.”

There are two mo-tions regarding no commercial access before Council now, with the Watershed Committee recom-mending Council endorse them. Oak-ley hopes to change Council’s mind. But even if he doesn’t, a debate is occurring.

“It’s a healthy dis-cussion right now, and hopefully the outcome is strate-gies to deal with in-creased recreational use of the water-shed.

“And it opens a bigger, broader de-bate on backcountry pressure. It’s getting greater all the time.”

Council will be meeting with the Mark Creek Water-shed Committee next Friday to con-tinue the discussion.

but it’s not unprecedented.”Coun. Darryl Oakley

M I C H A E L D E N TA N DT

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, off to Europe Tuesday to play on the inter-national stage he so enjoys, can still

extricate himself and his party from the swamp in which they now find themselves, many would agree. The strategy is simple. The tactical moves are drop-dead obvious. Or are they?

First, Harper will soon shuffle his cabi-net. In this by-now familiar scenario, a few high-profile, greying and controver-sial warhorses (Vic Toews and Julian Fan-tino, for instance) get cycled out. And the bright young sparks (Michelle Rempel, Kellie Leitch, Candice Bergen come to mind) get cycled in. At a stroke the Con-servative brand is transformed from old-ish, male and grumpy, to youngish, fe-male and sunny.

Then comes a change in tone for the 164-member Conservative caucus. Under this scenario, the shock of Edmonton MP Brent Rathgeber’s resignation, combined with residual unhappiness over the sti-fling of backbench voices such as an-ti-abortion MPs Mark Warawa and Ste-phen Woodworth, at last causes the Prime Minister to relax his grip. It’s glasnost across the board, with fewer talking points and a generally more constructive ap-proach. Rather than near-constant char-acter assassination aimed at the opposi-tion leaders, Conservative messaging post-reboot stresses the positive: Surging job growth, continuing low inflation and interest rates, and a balanced budget by late next year or early 2015.

Finally and perhaps most important, there’s the retooling of the PM himself. All Ottawa now breathlessly awaits the per-sonal re-engagement of Stephen Harper.

No one expects to see him grooving and jiving, Michael Ignatieff-style, in a sum-mer street dance. But there is an expecta-tion that, in addition to grilling sausages at the Calgary Stampede, Harper will warm up a little, and begin speaking di-rectly to Canadians about his vision of the country.

As has often been pointed out, Ste-phen Harper can be a very persuasive speaker. He doesn’t need to go all Justin Trudeau: He just needs to speak, now and then.

Well, yes. This is all plausible. But here’s some cold water.

The shuffle-as-regeneration scenario presupposes that elevating figures such as Rempel, Leitch, Bergen, and other per-ceived up-and-comers such as Chris Al-exander and Pierre Poilievre, will materi-ally renew the government’s image and brand. Except that these folks have al-ready been front and centre, for more than a year. When Defence Minister Peter MacKay was in trouble last December over the F-35 debacle, it was Alexander who ran point. Whether in the House of Commons or on the weekend news shows, it’s the Rempels and Leitches who often carry the can. Unless the PM digs much deeper into his caucus than he’s currently expected to, in other words, the brand effect of a shuffle will be limited.

Next, while we’re on the subject of cau-cus: Before the “backbench spring” trans-formed social-conservative MPs such as Woodworth, Warawa and Rathgeber into warriors for free speech and accountabil-ity, they were mainly considered an im-pediment to Conservative electoral hopes. To be precise: The more these MPs speak up about their deeply-held beliefs,

the harder it is for Harper to persuade Ontario and British Columbia swing vot-ers — the key to the 2015 election — that they can safely re-elect the Conservatives, without fear of a social-conservative leg-islative revival. The original purpose of talking points is to prevent mistakes. It will take just one reactionary “bozo erup-tion” of the kind that torpedoed Wildrose in last year’s Alberta election, to bring caucus glasnost crashing down.

Last and most important, is the ticklish problem of Harper himself. According to party insiders he has been, since the Duffy-Wright scandal broke in mid-May, serving as his own chief strategist and communications advisor. That isn’t going so well. Nearly a month in, very simple questions about the affair (Where is the cheque? Can it be produced?) remain unanswered.

Given the stakes, and the natural un-certainty about whether Harper even in-tended to run again, before the Duffy af-fair, the weeks of bungling, deflection and obfuscation are strange and inexplicable. They begin to make sense, perhaps, if there are more and worse revelations still to emerge, which the PMO has been fran-tically trying to tamp down, till the sum-mer break. Either way, Harper’s personal credibility has taken a massive broadside — and one that shows few signs of being temporary.

This all may be more than tweaking, reshaping or rebooting can address, in other words. It may require something more fundamental, such as change at the top.

Helen DuckwortH

While we’re approach-ing summer, Val MacPhee won the

public’s vote with a winter theme, in her acrylic piece “Winter Color.”

Val contributed the work to the May VisArt2013 annual ad-judicated exhibition at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council, and whilst she just missed out on winning prizes from the judged aspect of the show, she definitely caught the attention of the voting public.

After news of her win, Val gave me the time to sit down with her and discuss what this means to her, her influences and inspirations and gave some advice for people wanting to enter VisArts2014 next year. Quietly confident and with a quick wit and genuine love of art, Val was a pleasure to talk with and gave a lot of useful in-sight to aspiring artists and fol-lowers of the the CDAC.

I asked Val how she felt when she heard she had won the people’s choice award: “I felt great,” she said with a laugh. “I’ve been the recipient of a few people’s choice awards and (for me) I feel that winning this prize is a great confirmation that I’m on the right track and that other people relate to what I’m doing.”

When asked why Val chose to put “Winter Color” into the show, she ‘felt that it has a strong design element with a play on color and high con-trast” which people find visual-ly appealing, and is somewhat reminiscent of what people have come to recognize as her style.

Val is known for her use of

color but this piece was an ex-ploration from her comfort zone in that she used more neutrals alongside the bold col-ors she is known for. Val took the subject of this piece from a photograph by a fellow artist, but usually takes her own pho-tographs as the basis of her pieces.

She herself is influenced by the impressionist style, she en-thuses she ‘likes the idea of bro-ken color, to see brush strokes … seeing the juicy color and paint texture’ on a piece. She quotes Monet, his famous “Bridge Over a Pond of Water Lilies,” (1899) and the accom-panying series painted of his gardens in Giverny, France as

sources of inspiration.So what was Val’s approach

to the annual adjudicated show? “Normally pieces I enter are more experimental in com-petitions,” she says, which is evident to followers of her work through her diverse range of styles and the exploration of media throughout the body of her work.

“If it catches the eye from across the room, even better.”

So does Val have any advice for those thinking of entering VisArts2014? “I’ve entered every VisArts (at the CADC) for the last ten years and really en-joyed it,” she said. “It’s a great way to (get) exposure and it’s not about winning, more about

doing.”Val is currently working on

bigger projects but looks for-ward to getting involved in ex-hibiting again with the CDAC at the Artrageous Art Gallery in the near future.

The Arts Council has a lot planned for the coming sum-mer, having just welcomed in the new board for 2013-14 at the annual general meeting on June 5th. Mitch Pocha, last year’s vice-president, will take over from Linda Holmes as president and brings a fresh approach to the board. Linda promises to keep her finger on the CDAC pulse, and proved as much volunteering for the Sam Steele Days “Bygone Days” opening reception which took place on June 6. The CDAC thanks returning board mem-bers Jenny Humphrey and Landon Elliot for their continu-ing hard work as board mem-bers for 2013-14, and welcomes new board members Luigi Cu-pello, Vine Madder, Tessa Mc-Gregor, Bill McColl, Mark Duckworth, Howie Mason and Sioux Browning.

For those interested, you can find out more about the Cranbrook and District Arts Council, their current exhibi-tions and workshops, via their ‘CDAC’ Facebook page, by emailing them at [email protected], visiting their website www.theartscouncil.com or visiting the gallery and office space in room 104, 135 10th Avenue South, Cranbrook, B.C, V1C 4J6.

An interview with VisArt2013 People’s Choice Award winner Val MacPhee

“I prefer alternate venues,” admits singer-songwrit-er Rodney DeCroo, “es-

pecially for solo shows. “My songs are lyric-driven. I

want to play shows for listening audiences so they can connect with the song. That means I’ve been playing in art galleries, the odd theatre, bookstores, house concerts, and such.

“Pubs and cabarets are okay for band-oriented shows, but it’s not the best way to connect with an audience. There’s are always people in a bar that ar-en’t there for the show, and they often ruin the show for the people who want to hear. Espe-cially if the songs are quiet, or lyric-focused.”

So says Vancouver’s roots-folk maverick troubadour, who appears live in concert at Lotus Books the evening of Thursday June 13.

Born in a Pennsylvanian coal-mining town, DeCroo is the son of a troubled ex-US Marine who deserted the mili-tary to avoid a second tour of duty in Vietnam and fled with his family to British Columbia. After a troubled, tumultuous childhood, the young Rodney found solace and focus in music, and for many years has been recording critically-ac-claimed underground folk al-bums for the Vancouver-based Modern Electric label: Rodney DeCroo and the Killers (2005), War Torn Man (2006), Truckers

Memorial (2006), Mockingbird Bible (2008), Queen Mary Trash (2010), and the spo-ken-word Allegheny (2012). DeCroo’s deeply personal world-weary lyrics are deliv-ered with a sincere back-coun-try drawl; the sentiments of pre-rehab Steve Earle with Dylanesque vocals. And there’s a Cranbrook connection, as well; DeCroo’s father managed the long-lost Tudor House Hotel for a spell.

“After I toured my album Queen Mary Trash, I parted ways with my band and stopped playing shows for over six months,” DeCroo said. “I’d been quite involved with the local scene before that, but I wanted time away from it. I

spent a year and a half writing my book and making my re-cord Allegheny, BC. I’d do the occasional solo show, but those were in intimate rental venues, like Little Mountain Gallery. I unplugged from the scene. Over the last two years things have changed a lot, so I’m a lit-tle out of the loop, but that’s fine by me. People come to my shows, and that’s what matters to me.”

Joining DeCroo on his cur-rent tour is Modern Electric la-belmate Herald Nix, who has built a rabid Vancouver fan-base for his smoky, mysterious brand of roots-rock for nearly 30 years running,

MONDAY, JUNE 10, 2013

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Jon Bird hunched over, drawing deep breaths as he recovered from from his triathlon race in the Olympic dis-tance moments after crossing the finish line.

The Calgary native had just completed the course of 1.5 km swim, 40 km bike and 10 km run in just under two hours to take first place.

He was a good nine minutes ahead of any other competitors.

That lead came from getting out of the water first and building up a comfortable cushion during his bike, which put him seven minutes ahead of anyone else be-fore the run.

“It really plays with guys’ minds, when you get into that kind of lead,” said Bird. “They basical-ly run for second [place], because seven minutes over a 10K is a pretty strong amount of time to

build back into.“That was one of my

game plans coming in here today. I’m racing next weekend and the weekend after that, so for me to absolutely shell myself on the run today, going head-to-head against someone, I cer-tainly would’ve done that—no question about it—but I really wanted to make my mark on the bike and try to take guys out of the race in that el-ement.”

It was Bird’s fourth trip to Wasa for the tri-athlon, after making three consecutive ap-pearances from 2007-10.

He’s had the opportu-nity to represent Canada on the world stage since then, but was happy to come out for the 20th anniversary of the race, which is organized by Charlie Cooper, of RM Events.

“The one thing that I really like about this event, is Charlie, from

RM Events, does an in-credible job of taking care of people, and he has since the first year I came out here,” said Bird.

“With the barbecue, with the organization, the transition, with the safety precautions that are on course—it’s a benchmark for Canadi-an racing and there’s a lot of things that other race directors or other races can learn about what Charlie does here

in terms of creating a family atmosphere.”

Sue Huse, a Canadian expat representing Mis-soula across the 49th parallel, came in first place in the women’s category, with a time of 2:09:12, building up a four-minute lead on Tanya Solomon, who was the runner up.

Like Bird, Huse said she wanted to use her time on the bike to open up a gap.

“Swimming is my weakest point, so I was trying to get up there and get a good time for that and once I was off there, I was just trying to work the bike,” Huse said.

“I’m comfortable with my run, because I’ve always had a fast run, but I was really pushing on the bike and I felt like that really helped me overall.”

Solomon, who came in behind Huse, has won the race for the past two years in the Olympic dis-

tance category.“I knew she was there

and I knew that I needed to have a good bike and swim in order to beat her, so I felt like once I was able to pass her on the run, I felt comfort-able, just because I knew my run was strong,” added Huse.

For the second straight year, the high-est-placing Cranbrook resident was the Daily Townsman’s own staff member Tim Fix, finish-ing in 34th overall with an official time of 2:18:04.

Chris Kostiuk repre-sented Kimberley’s best placing, finishing 41st overall with a time of 2:20:24.

Calgary made it a sweep on the podium again in the Sprint dis-tance, which is half of the Olympic course, with Willy Gonzalez earning first place with a time of 1:05:36.

Nadal beats Ferrer, wins 8th French Open title

PARIS - Rafael Nadal became the first man to win eight titles at the same Grand Slam tournament when he beat fellow Spaniard David Ferrer in the French Open final Sunday, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3.

Nadal broke the men’s record for match wins at Roland Garros, where he improved to 59-1, with his lone defeat against Robin Soderling in the fourth round in 2009.

For fans enthralled by Nadal’s semifinal victory over top-ranked Novak Djokovic, Sunday’s final may have seemed anticlimactic. But not for the champion, who hit a fallaway forehand winner on championship point, then tumbled to the clay he loves and covered his face to hide his emotions.

Williams beats Sharapova to win French Open

PARIS - Serena Williams has won her 16th Grand Slam title and her first French Open championship since 2002, beating familiar foil Maria Sharapova 6-4, 6-4.

Saturday’s victory completed the No. 1-ranked Williams’ rebound from a shocking loss to 111th-ranked Virginie Razzano in the first round at Roland Garros a year ago. Since that defeat she’s 74-3, in-cluding titles at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, the London Olympics and the season-ending WTA Championships.

Williams has won a career-best 31 consecutive matches. She improved to 14-2 against Sharapova, including victories in their past 13 meetings, with four of the wins this year.

At 31, Williams became the oldest woman to win a major title since Martina Navratilova at Wimble-don in 1990 at age 33.

Heat blow out Spurs to even up NBA � nal series

MIAMI - LeBron James overcame a terrible start to finish with 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists and the Miami Heat rolled to a 103-84 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night to even the series at a game apiece.

Mario Chalmers scored 19 points for the defend-ing champion Heat, who trailed late in the third quarter before going on a 30-5 run to take control. Chris Bosh added 12 points, 10 rebounds and four assists.

Danny Green scored 17 points on 6-for-6 shoot-ing and Tony Parker had 13 points on 5-for-14 shooting with five assists for the Spurs, who turned the ball over 17 times after tying a finals record with only four in their Game 1 victory.

Rangers rally, beat Blue Jays to prevent sweep

TORONTO - Adrian Beltre hit a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning and David Murphy added another solo shot an inning later as the Texas Rangers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-4 on Sun-day afternoon at Rogers Centre.

After spotting the Blue Jays an early four-run lead, Texas (37-25) scored six unanswered runs to salvage the finale of the three-game series and end Toronto’s three-game winning streak. Reliever Neal Cotts (2-0) worked one inning for the win and Joe Nathan recorded the last three outs for his 19th save.

Adam Lind hit a three-run homer for Toronto (27-35). The Blue Jays had six hits on the day and did all of their scoring in the third inning off Texas start-er Justin Grimm.

Sarah Gavin-Raap, hailing from the same city, took the top spot in the wom-en’s category, with a time of 1:06:57.

Mark Neeve was the top local finish-er in fifth place, representing Kimberley with a time of 1:11:36—good for fifth overall. Thomas Stambulic was the top Cranbrook athlete, with a time of 1:18:17.

On Saturday, roughly 300 kids took part in the TriKids race, which offered scaled down distances for kids in different age divisions ranging from 4-15 years old.

The whole two-day event is put to-gether by Cooper and his army of vol-unteers, including help from organiza-tions like the Kimberley Gymnastics Club, Kimberley Swim Club and the Cranbrook Society for Community Liv-ing, which manned aid stations along the course.

Steve King also returned to the an-nouncers booth, where he kept the

crowd entertained and informed as every racer crossed the finish line.

“Without volunteers, now I know this over the years, you just don’t put on events,” said Cooper.

The event celebrated it’s 20th anni-versary, and while Cooper hasn’t been around for all those years, he’s been a staple for many of them, starting as race director in 2001.

“It’s been re-ally good to see it grow and you get the confi-dence that we’ve been doing a good thing over the

years,” said Cooper. “We started off in 2000 not having an event, and in 2001, we brought it back and had 160 people, then went to 380 and it just grew from there.

“Last year was our record, in terms of numbers of people, and unfortunate-ly it was a poor year with some rain, so this year, our numbers are down a little bit.”

“But Wasa is such a great place to hold the event.”

Blackhawks and Bruins offer something for everyone in NHL finalJay Cohen

Associated Press

CHICAGO - Two franchises, rich in his-tory, talent and star power. Two winning teams that know what it takes to bring home the Stanley Cup. Intrigue, in the form of a sched-ule that kept them away from each other for an entire season.

Oh, there’s plenty to love about this series.

The Stanley Cup fi-nals kick off Wednesday night when the Chicago Blackhawks host the Boston Bruins in the first finals matchup of Original Six franchises since Montreal beat the New York Rangers in five games way back in 1979.

The mighty Black-hawks, winners of seven of the last eight games, have a deep ros-ter that really found its identity when pushed to the limit by the De-troit Red Wings in the second round. Then there are the play-off-tested Bruins, who rolled over favoured Pittsburgh during an impressive sweep that gave them a chance for a second NHL title in three seasons.

It’s a gift wrapped in a bow for a league still trying to recover from a bitter lockout that wiped out 510 games and pushed the start of the season back to Jan.

19.“It’s a special couple

places, the tradition of the Bruins and the Hawks is special,” Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “I’m sure, you know, the ri-valry could return in-stantly come Game 1. I think it’s good for the league. It’s good for hockey. Two great hockey markets. We’re very excited to be a part of it.”

Chicago advanced with a 4-3 double-over-time victory over Los Angeles on Saturday night, using a hat trick from Patrick Kane to eliminate the defending champion Kings in five games in the Western Conference finals. Back in the Stanley Cup se-ries for the first time since 2010, the Black-hawks are in search of another title to pair with their six-game vic-tory over the Philadel-phia Flyers three years

ago.“Everyone has that

drive to win the Cup,” Chicago forward An-drew Shaw said. “It’s going to be a long road ahead here. It’s surreal. I’ve wanted this since I was a kid. I’m excited to get started.”

Boston is rolling again after losing its spot atop the Northeast Division in the final days of the regular sea-son. The Bruins have won five in a row and nine of 10, boosted by a familiar group of stars who led the way when they won it all in 2011. David Krejci scored four times in the Pitts-burgh sweep and leads Boston with nine goals and 12 assists in the playoffs.

“The excitement is there,” Bruins coach Claude Julien said Sun-day. “You’ve heard peo-ple say, ‘Once you’ve been there, you want to go back.’ It’s true, we really want to go back; we made it happen. We’re excited about it and we also know what kind of challenge lies ahead for us. It’s about acknowledging that and being ready for it.”

While Boston and Chicago have kept an eye on each other for a while now, there’s no way for either team to grab a real hold on what to expect at the very be-ginning of the series.

That’s because the ab-breviated 48-game schedule due to the lockout included no games against teams from the other confer-ence.

That’s right, the Bru-ins and Blackhawks ha-ven’t played since Oct. 15, 2011, when Boston won 3-2 in a shootout in Chicago. There are no mutual opponents this year, not even an All-Star game to com-pare the players from each conference.

“I think all the infor-

mation is out there for both teams to under-stand how we both play,” Julien said. “There’s no secrets there. Again, like I said, it’s only the head to head, how the two teams are kind of going to clash, what’s going to happen when we do. It’s as simple as that.

“It’s about having confidence in what you plan on doing and going out there and ex-ecuting it, that’s all you can do.”

The Bruins were on

the brink of elimination when they trailed To-ronto 4-1 with less than 11 minutes left in the third period of Game 7 in the first round. But they managed to beat the Maple Leafs 5-4 in overtime.

The Blackhawks had their own great escape in the second round, coming back from a 3-1 deficit to eliminate the rival Red Wings in seven games. The comeback included a three-goal flurry in Game 6 that erased a

2-1 deficit heading into the final period.

The twin comebacks for Boston and Chicago increase the potential for a compelling series for the title. Now mix in a couple of the NHL’s best all-around for-wards in Patrice Bergeron of the Bruins and Jonathan Toews of the Blackhawks, plus a slew of talented players on each side, and there are convincing argu-ments to be made for either team to win the title.

Repeat dreams dashed for L.A. KingsGreG BeaChamAssociated Press

LOS ANGELES - Dean Lombardi was awake until dawn after the Los Angeles Kings’ Stanley Cup defence came to a crashing end in the Western Confer-ence finals.

After talking with coach Darryl Sutter until 4:30 a.m., the Kings’ gen-eral manager decided he couldn’t fault his team

for its effort or its tenacity in a difficult post-season run that ended one se-ries early.

The Kings spent Sun-day decompressing from their elimination by the Chicago Blackhawks, who finished off the con-ference finals in double overtime in Game 5. Los Angeles is the 14th con-secutive NHL champion to fail to repeat, but the first in four years to make

it back to the conference finals the next year.

Once they’ve spent a few days clearing their heads and healing from the litany of injuries dog-ging everyone this time of year, the Kings will look back a bit more fondly on the most suc-cessful two-year stretch in franchise history. Los Angeles won its first Stanley Cup title last sea-son and followed it up

with just the third trip to the conference finals in the Second Six club’s his-tory.

Los Angeles had never won more than three playoff rounds in any two-year stretch be-fore winning six rounds in the past two seasons. Although the Black-hawks finished off the Kings relatively quickly, the champions kept the NHL’s respect.

“Everyone has that drive to win the Cup. It’s going to be a long road ahead here. It’s surreal. I’ve wanted

this since I was a kid. I’m excited to get

started.”Andrew Shaw

Years before the terms “Ameri-cana” and “Alt-Country” were coined and fashionable, Nix dis-played his stunning country-blues masterpieces to tightly-packed and mesmerized crowds. An eccentric yet compelling character (he rarely gives interviews), Nix is a truly unique talent, and his upcoming performance is indeed a communi-ty privilege.

“I’ve shared stages many times with Herald,” says DeCroo, “but this is the first time I’ve toured with him. I admire him greatly. There’s an un-wavering commitment to his own vision.”

DeCroo also has a parallel career as a writer of prose, and has melded his two muses into a multimedia performance-art piece entitled Al-legheny BC. “It’s about growing up in Pittsburgh,” he explains, “it con-sists of songs, poems and mono-logues. My double-bass player Mark Haney accompanies me and creates amazing soundscapes. We toured a rough version of the show and it went great. I’ll be doing ten nights at the Cultch in September, and at the Vancouver International Writers Festival. We’re doing intense re-hearsals with a theatre director to hone the show and develop lighting

design, video, etc.” It would seem that DeCroo’s

schedule is sewn up for the remain-der of 2013. “I’m supposed to do some touring in Europe later in the year. My new album Campfires on the Moon is nearly finished, and I’m very excited about it. I’ve also been rehearsing with a rock band and plan to make a record with those guys...I think I’ll call it Strong is the Hold.”

With well over a hundred strong songs in his personal repertoire, DeCroo certainly has the experi-ence and the talent to pass along to other singer-songwriters.

“It all depends on what you want out of songwriting,” he said. “I want to write good songs, and record and play them...on my terms. If that’s what’s important to an under-ground / indie songwriter, then my advice? Do exactly that; don’t make compromises with your work you can’t live with in order to get ahead. You’ll regret it later, and you’ll find yourself somewhere you don’t want to be. I’d like to be remembered as someone who wrote good, authen-tic songs that meant something, and made good, authentic records, and played some memorable shows; someone who stayed true to his own vision.”

Dear Wendy:I started reading your col-

umn last year and I was wonder-ing if you could give me some answers to my problem.

My issue is my relationships with men. I seem to pick the same type of man that breaks my heart over and over again.

I feel like a loser sometimes and I am getting depressed being alone all the time.

Can you see a man in my future that I can have a happy relationship with?

Will I have any children in the fu-ture?

I have a good job and I like my career but I feel without being with someone I am going to be so lonely.

These thoughts scare me all the time and I need some advice about what to do.

Feeling Scared and Lonely

Dear Feeling Scared and Lonely:

We feel that you need to ap-proach this problem you are having with men with a different attitude or perspective on how you view your life. For example: You have a great job and you like your job; that’s about 8 hours a day five days of the week that you are happy with who you are and what you do. This is a good thing.

We feel your problem with men is that you like the “bad boys.”

You know, the ones that you feel will rescue you from your loneliness.

The problem is the bad boys are just as lonely and insecure as you are when it comes to rela-tionships with the ladies.

The problem with bad boys is they are not committable to

themselves or anyone else in their lives.

They con-stantly think only about t h e m s e l v e s and their toys that give them

recreational pleasure.Unfortunately, they view a re-

lationship with a woman in the same manner.

This means a woman is there only for their pleasure and when a problem arises in the relation-ship they leave.

So the illusion of the knight in shining armour which most bad boys portray is just that, an illu-sion.

We feel that you have identity issues that you need to work on before you are able to find the right man. This means you need to work on your low self-esteem and insecurity problems and learn who you are as a person.

For example: If you were emotionally secured within yourself and knew who you were you would know what you want when looking for a mate.

Unfortunately, we feel that you have been unwilling to do this work on yourself. This is why you keep meeting and choosing the same men that caused you pain and suffering in your life.

The attitude that you should

be having is: “Hey, I have a great life and a wonderful job. I just need to work on a few things that will enhance and make my life better.”

Being alone and being lonely are two different things.

For example: Since my mom passed over I feel so lonely at times because I loved her a lot. I usually am never lonely nor have I felt this emotion for any length of time. However, this loneliness creeps up on me over and over again. I have the emo-tional intelligence to realize that I do not need a mate or a partner to rescue me from my feelings of loneliness because I miss my mom.

How can another person compensate for that loss? They can’t. It takes time and healing to get over this loneliness I have.

Same scenario with your issue; you are feeling lonely be-cause you miss you.

You do not have a relation-ship with yourself and that makes you feel lonely.

Therefore, you are trying to find a man to fill that void within yourself.

No man can do that for you. This is your learning lesson and we hope that you will take the time and love that you should have for yourself and learn this lesson.

If you do not take the time to learn your lesson you will meet men that will hurt you.

We do see you having chil-dren on this plane in this life-time.

Wendy

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could feel pressured by a domestic matter. You just might have had enough, and you won’t be afraid to show it. You’ll want to get more feedback from an older relative or friend who sees life far differently. Re-evaluate your feelings. Tonight: Home is where your heart is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your ability to communicate goes beyond the abilities of many people. A close loved one could be jealous of what you have to offer. You won’t be able to change this person’s feelings, but you can try to see what it’s like to walk in his or her shoes. Tonight: Talk up a storm. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be aware of what you have to offer. A financial arrangement could have you feeling as if you’ve given too much. Do not allow yourself to fall into a pit of despair. Make a point to support yourself in getting a more equal agreement. Tonight: A friend surprises you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your confidence will allow you to stand up to someone who could be trying to get something for nothing. In the end, this per-son might give everything away just to get you to agree. Opt for the fair bargain. A parent or boss acts in odd ways. Tonight: Hang out with a pal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are wise to sit back and do little. Be aware of crosscurrents. Someone might be attempting a major power play. How and when you intervene will be a question of choice. You might opt not to get involved at all. To-night: Get a good night’s sleep. (You will need it.) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep your focus. Staying pres-ent in a meeting could be more important than you realize. Understand what is happening beyond the obvious. Listen to news more openly. A new friend might try to manipulate you in order to get what he or she wants. Tonight: Where the fun is. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pressure builds around a public

appearance or career matter. You might not know which way to go. Understanding will evolve between you and a family mem-ber, as long as you can get past a control game. The only way to win is not to play. Tonight: Out -- perhaps very late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) If you can resist reacting, you will gain a deeper understand-ing of a situation; not every-thing is as it seems. Detach. Less judgment and more openness will help you resolve a problem. Prioritize in order to achieve what you want. Tonight: Let your imagination lead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Consider an extended conversa-tion even if you are not “in the mood.” You’ll discover the role of clarity about money and other key issues. In fact, much more so than you thought. A child or new friends perks up your day. Tonight: Paint the town red. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Defer to others, and you likely will gain a very different per-spective as a result. Listen to news more openly. Unexpected

developments could shake you up more than you might expect. Just know that everything will work out if you let go of rigidity. Tonight: Go along with a sug-gestion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Pace yourself, and be willing to make an adjustment. You might need to stop and have a private conversation with a friend. Open up to new possibilities. Know that your interpretation of recent events could be off. Un-expected news could head your way. Tonight: Hang with friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Where others hit a wall, you seem to be on cruise control. Your imagination and resource-fulness help you find solutions. A loved one might need some attention. Say “no” to any finan-cial risks, as you might not be getting the full story. Be careful. Tonight: Let go of stress. BORN TODAY Author Maurice Sendak (1928), Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip (1921), former governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer (1959) ***

Dear Annie: In January, my boyfriend and I moved in together after four months of dating. We both have young daughters, and we love all of them. His ex took off two years ago and has no interaction with the chil-dren. Their grandmother and great-grand-mother, however, have played an active role in the girls’ lives. Due to my boyfriend’s work schedule, the girls stay overnight with his mother several nights a week. Here’s the problem: His family does not approve of me. They haven’t said so to my face, but I know they have hated me since Day One, mainly because of my tattoos and lip ring. I have a great job, pay all of my bills and am very responsible. I removed the lip ring in order to gain their acceptance, but it made no difference. They badmouth my daughter and me to his girls. It’s become so difficult that his girls don’t want to be near me. His 3-year-old told my daughter she is “dumber than a box of rocks.” We found out that Grandma taught her that. My boyfriend and I only want what’s best for our children and have been discussing breaking up, which neither of us wants. I have tried to talk to his family, but they re-fuse to answer my calls. I don’t know what to do. I want to keep our family together and our children happy. -- N.Y. Dear N.Y.: This is primarily up to your boy-friend. He needs to make it clear that such behavior will not be tolerated. Would he be willing to put the children in daycare so that his mother and grandmother have less influence? Would the threat of doing so stop them from denigrating you in front of the children? Frankly, we think moving in after four months was a bit premature, and it wouldn’t hurt to take things more slowly. But whether or not you are living together, unless your boyfriend puts his foot down with his mother and grandmother, the situa-tion will not improve. Dear Annie: My husband dropped me off in front of a store so I could buy one item. He was in a golf cart and said, “I will be on this end when you come out.” My shopping took less than two minutes because they didn’t have the item I needed. When I came outside, my husband was not where he said he would be. I waited in clear view in front of the store, but when he didn’t come after five minutes, I began to walk to-ward where he said he would be waiting. He wasn’t there, so I turned around and walked the other way, thinking I must have mis-understood him. I did this back-and-forth three times and then just waited in front of the store for another 20 minutes. My husband insists he stayed in the same spot the entire time and didn’t see me. He said I should have come looking for him in the crowded parking lot. I feel he should have been looking for me since he was the one driving. Where he was parked was ob-scured from my vantage point. He also knows I have poor vision. Who is right? -- Wife Left at the Door Dear Wife: The spot your husband picked made him invisible to you and vice versa. He should have been waiting where he said he would be, and you should have looked for him there and then waited where he dropped you off. You absolutely should not have been searching a crowded parking lot. (This is one advantage of having a cell-phone.) Dear Annie: I’m writing in favor of pot-lucks. They are wonderful -- fun, interesting and tasty. My group of friends selects a cate-gory of meal (which changes each time), so a certain amount of research is involved, and we bring copies of the recipes to share with others. -- Omaha, Neb.

Da ryl C a l D e r

With dark grey upperparts and a neat white tip to the tail, the Eastern King-

bird looks like it’s wearing a busi-ness suit.

This big-headed, broad-shoul-dered bird does mean business — just watch one harassing crows, Red-tailed hawks, Great Blue Herons, and other birds that pass over it’s territory. Eastern Kingbirds often perch on wires or other prominent perches in open areas. They sally out for flying in-sects or flutter slowly over the tops of grasses.

Naturalists were expecting their return during late May and sure enough, six were observed this week at Elizabeth Lake. The semi-open habitat with a mix of grassy fields and trees, often near water, makes the East Kootenay a favourable area for both the West-ern and Eastern Kingbirds.

During the summer, the King-bird eats mostly flying insects and maintains a breeding territory that it defends vigorously against all other Kingbirds. In the winter, along the Amazon River, however, it has a completely different life-style: it travels in flocks and eats fruit.

Adults feed their young for seven weeks. Because of this rela-tively long period of dependence, only one brood is raised per sea-son. It’s not called a Kingbird for nothing. It has a crown of yellow, orange or red feathers on it’s head which is usually concealed. When it encounters a potential predator, the Kingbird may simultaneously raise it’s bright crown patch, stretch it’s beak wide open to re-veal a red gape, and dive-bomb the intruder.

Kingbirds sometimes catch small frogs, treating them the same way they deal with large in-sects: beating them against a perch and swallowing them whole. Eastern Kingbirds appar-ently rely completely on insects and fruit for moisture; they have never been seen drinking water. As the summer progresses they supplement their insect diet with fruit. During the fall migration, they begin to eat a lot of fruit

which makes up most of their diet on the wintering grounds.

Recently, several naturalists paddled a favourite waterway, heading upstream between Lower and Upper Moyie Lakes. Willow thickets challenged us to separate the calls of yellow warblers, black-birds, wrens and song sparrows which were more easily heard than seen. About 100m up Lamb Creek, a pool below a log jam pro-vided a shady rest area and turn-around. A different set of birds called from this habitat featuring tall trees, shrubs and narrow sandbars. Woodpeckers, kingfish-ers, flycatchers, chickadees and thrushes created a variety of sounds under the Bald Eagle’s watchful eye.

Spotted Sandpipers occur all across North America, they’re distinctive in both looks and ac-tions, and they’re handsome. With their richly spotted breeding plumage, teetering gait, stuttering wingbeats and showy courtship dances, this bird makes a great ambassador for the notoriously difficult – to - identify shorebirds. We watched several foraging along Lamb Creek, walking quick-ly, crouching low, occasionally darting towards prey, all the while bobbing the tail. Listen for a few high whistled notes as they take off from the shoreline. Although their populations are relatively stable, development and loss of their wetland habitat, or compro-mised water quality due to pesti-

cides, herbicides or other runoff, can harm their ability to feed and raise their young.

Join Rocky Mountain Natural-ists at 7AM on Tuesday mornings by the Elizabeth Lake Visitor Cen-tre. Dress warmly and bring bin-oculars, a guide book and scope if you are able; we can provide a helpful Checklist of East Koote-nay Birds. We wander along the trails slowly and quietly, so if you are a bit late, we are easy to find. At 8AM we’ll be near the ‘concrete blind’ and lake outlet. Experi-enced birders will guide the group and help with identification. We often spend as much as 3 hours exploring the various habitats.

Encorp was originally formed in 1994 and appointed by beverage brand owners as the not-for-profit product stewardship corporation responsible for all beverage containers and all alcohol beverage containers (except for aluminum beer cans and refillable beer bottles). Since inception, Encorp has fulfilled the requirements of the BC Recycling Regulation. This regulation calls for the submission of a revised plan every five years.

Stakeholders are invited to review the plan online and submit feedback anytime until July 2, 2013. The plan will also be available for review at the following public meeting:

Bradley WoodsThe Bull River Shooters Associa-

tion hosted the BC Provincial cham-pionship in lieu of its annual invita-tional match over the Victoria Day Weekend at our range near Fort Steele. 123 small bore rifles (.22 cal) and 70 high power rifles (6mm and up) were used by competitors from all over B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territory, Montana and Washington.

Participants shoot at steel targets representing chickens, pigs, turkeys and rams! Competitors shoot from an unsupported standing position and targets are 40 – 100 meters away for .22’s and 200 – 500 meters for high-power rifles.

Thanks to the efforts of club members the range and grounds were in excellent shape and the mostly fine weather made for great shooting and fun camping and ca-maraderie. New friendships were forged and old rivalries were rekin-dled, supported by a fantastic BBQ Saturday night.

Some families enjoy the annual weekend as a reunion of sorts, trav-elling to visit and compete against each other.

We are particularly pleased to continue to see a number of junior shooters participating in our sport.

The overall aggregate champion in both small bore and high power was Eric Boos of Washington and the BC aggregate champion was Tony Biamonte of Vancouver Island, in both small bore and high power.

The Bull River Shooters wish to thank numerous businesses, both local and afar for their tremendous

support, which allowed for every-one to take home something special to remember their visit to the East Kootenay.

Thanks to all the competitors, especially those who travelled great distances, for your competitive spirit and good sportsmanship. It was heart-warming to see competitors helping each other with advice and support.

A fundamental part of our sport sees competitors spotting for each other. This includes scoring but more importantly the spotter coach-es the shooter about the location of hits and misses. At one point my spotter spoke up and told me I just repeated a near miss. This correc-tion helped me pick up the next few targets by correcting my aim.

We extend a big thanks to Treena Marsh for running the canteen all weekend … nobody went hungry!

Linda Marsh, Anne Pique, and Sarah Marsh ran the Stat Desk so all could monitor their standings.

Gord Whitney came all the way from Lethbridge to be our Range Officer.

The BRSA board all pulled to-gether to keep things running smoothly. Local youths joined to-gether to work as target setters. This match is always a fantastic group effort!

Metallic silhouette shooting is great fun and very social and family oriented. It is also very challenging which makes it satisfying to hear the clank of the steel target as it gets knocked down. Spectators enjoy the sport because they see and hear the targets react. New shooters are al-ways welcome and everyone is will-ing to help others improve.

A wealth of information can be found on the Internet.

The BRSA is very pleased to again be hosting the BC Provincials Victoria Day weekend, 2014.

For memberships and informa-tion about the BRSA please contact Rob McKeeman at 250-426-2794. Memberships can also be pur-chased at any club match. Anyone is welcome to enter a club match and spectators are always welcome! We look forward to seeing you at the range. Our next match is June 22 … check it out!
