After years of waiting, it looks like Genelle residents are on the way to getting blue box recy-cling.

Approximately 35 people attended Monday’s public meet-ing at the Genelle Hall held to discuss the upcoming Packaging and Printed Paper (PPP) Stewardship Plan developed by non-profit Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC).

Taking effect province-wide in

May 2014, the plan essentially states if an industry produces packing, it's responsible for ‘end-life management’ of that packag-ing.

In accordance with the PPP Stewardship Plan, Linda Worley, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area B direc-tor, stated Genelle residents are facing two options for their recy-cling program: either continue to privately fund and operate the existing recycling depot located at the Genelle Fire Hall or switch

to industry-funded curbside blue box recycling.

According to Alan Stanley, the RDKB's director of Environmental Services, Genelle residents pay $50,000 annually to operate the current depot where-as switching to blue box recy-cling would only cost $15,000 per year - which in turn will be funded next year by indus-try producers through the PPP Stewardship Plan resulting in a net cost for residents of zero.

In understanding the signifi-

cant cost savings available, many residents at the meeting seemed dumbfounded as to why Genelle did not choose to implement a blue box recycling program earlier.

A previous Area B meeting in 2006 produced a 2-1 consen-sus in adopting blue boxes but a 2007 telephone poll produced the opposite results.

While some in attendance expressed concern over the issue of proposed bi-weekly blue box

How much does an airport go for these days?

Almost six years to the date that Teck Ltd. sold the Trail Regional Airport to the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) for $1.3 million the Silver City has put in an offer.

However, Trail residents will have to wait for details in the city’s offer to purchase the 125-acre area from the regional district because the dollar amount remains under wraps for now.

“The appraised report was con-sidered at an in-camera meeting,” said Michelle McIsaac, Trail’s cor-porate administrator. “Given that it deals with a land matter and nego-tiations with the regional district, the city isn’t releasing the value at this time.”

The City of Trail expressed its discontent to the airport’s regional stakeholders in a letter issued last summer stating “the lack of con-gruence and apparent indifference” to the airport service from several participants an ongoing issue and concern in the context of advan-cing plans for the regional airport.

At an East End Services (EES) meeting at the RDKB in November, the majority of service participants, which includes Rossland, Montrose, Fruitvale and regional district areas A and B, voted down airport expan-

sion, citing “the majority of the members were happy with the ser-vice.”

Dissatisfaction with the out-come of the service review prompt-ed the city to throw the future of the airport into a tailspin when, in January, a member of Trail council presented a letter to the EES with an official request to purchase the airport from the RDKB.

The city was then green-lighted by the entire regional district board on Jan. 31, allowing Trail to pro-ceed with hiring an appraiser and subsequently coming up with an offer.

Now, that offer is in the hands of the RDKB board for its considera-tion.

“The regional district has to con-sider the offer which has a number of conditions attached to it,” said Mayor Dieter Bogs. “We are hoping to hear from them within the next four to six weeks.”

Historically, Trail has been and on-and-off lease holder of the air-port since its 1929 construction by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada (Cominco).

According to the Trail Historical Society, the City of Trail became lease-holder of the airport in 1929, 1947, and 1959. The lease was transferred to the RDKB in 1982, at which time the airport was rec-ognized as a service created by the regionalization of services.

FROM PAGE 1pick up and how their recycling would be stored, the majority of people expressed their approval through comments such as “it’s about time” and loud rounds of applause.

“Typically speaking, curbside recycling does quite well,” said Stanley.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan adopted a curbside recycling program in 2000 resulting in double the amount of tonnes per capita recycled annually over its previous depot program.

If Genelle adopts blue boxes, residents will be able to recycle the same products as collected at the depot.

However, the introduction of the PPP Stewardship Plan next year will require indus-try to start recycling all packaging such as Styrofoam meat trays and toothpaste tubes as according to Stanley, “if it holds a product, it’s a package.”

But all is not said and done. “On a personal note, I believe in the blue box

system,” said Worley but she cautiously advised the choice of changing to blue boxes is “ulti-mately a RDKB board decision.”

Therefore, Worley strongly encourages all Genelle residents to express their support or concerns about blue box recycling to her by the Sept. 19 deadline.

Letters may be sent to her at PO Box 132, Genelle, BC, V0G 1G0, or by email at [email protected].

RDKB operates 15 recycling depots, 12 waste transfer stations and three landfills with over 90 percent of area residents having access to curbside recycling.

Final decision up to RDKB B y S h e r i r e g n i e r

Times StaffTis the season for back-

yard gardeners to nurture a patch of fresh veggies and pluck sun-ripened fruit from its branches.

With this in mind, the Trail food banks are asking residents to drop off any extras to help feed the needy.

“This time of year is great for our food bank because people bring in excess pro-duce,” said Reverend Keith Simmonds, from the Trail United Church.

“You don’t have to try to get rid of a zucchini at the neighbours anymore, you can bring it to us.”

The food bank operates three Tuesdays a month and feeds over 100 people a week.

Those wishing to help with time or donations can contact the United Church at 368-3225.

On the other side of the street, the basement of the St. Andrews Anglican Church was a flurry of activity on Tuesday as volunteers read-ied to feed and provide ham-pers to over 80 people dur-ing its once a month food bank.

“Since the weather has gotten warm our donations are way down,” said coordin-ator Patti Flack.

“So we do like to remind people with gardens to think

of us when their vegetables and fruit trees are ready.”

Flack has been coordinat-ing the food bank since 2009, and along with an army of 28 volunteers sets up the church basement to provide lunch, this week hotdogs, fresh buns, veggies was pro-vided along with homemade goodies donated by her vol-unteers.

Since she began coordin-ating the food bank, the number of people using the service has almost tripled.

“There is way more of a need today,” said Flack.

“When I started I had 45 people who came regularly,” she said.

“Now, some weeks we serve up to 120 people includ-ing lunch and hampers.”

Running the once a month food bank comes at a cost of $1000, and Flack said that donations of backyard crops help “to fill in the gaps.”

“Demand is high in spring and summer and our sup-plies get low,” she said.

“Once people are back from their summer homes and return to work and church in September, we hope donations pick up again.”

Until then, fresh produce and non-perishable items can

be dropped off at the door of the Pine Avenue church. For more information contact Flack at 364-5729.

The summer months does not slow down need at the Salvation Army food bank on Rossland Avenue.

Linda Radtke, manager, said that in June, 400 families received food hampers and up to 60 meals were served out of its kitchen daily.

“People are so good in the Trail community but we do say if they have any excess in their garden we would love to use it for the people,” she said.

“We’ll even come and help pick it.”

For more information, call the Trail Salvation Army Family Services at 364-0445.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SBURNABY, B.C. - Barely 12 months

after a tense year-long labour dispute with teachers ended in B.C.’s public schools, more job action could be on the way.

CUPE BC says 27,000 education assist-ants, clerical staff, trades, aboriginal workers, youth workers, custodians, and bus drivers in elementary and secondary schools have voted in favour of a strike.

The union says the man-date covers almost all of its 57 locals, in 53 school districts across the prov-ince.

CUPE BC K-12 spokesman Colin Pawson says mem-bers have not had a wage increase for more than four years and the union is hoping for funded settlements similar to those for other public-sector employees.

Legislation in 2012 ended a three-day walkout and bitter work-to-rule campaign by public school teachers.

The BC Teachers’ Federation signed a one-year contract that expired last month, but any new negotiations are already strained as the Liberal government aims for a 10-year deal.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SRICHMOND, B.C. - Workers who fuel

jets at Vancouver International Airport will be in a legal strike position on July 28, and their union is warning of disruptions if there’s no progress on a new contract.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada represents 70 jet fuel workers and a further 300 emergency responders, runway main-tenance workers, baggage handlers, pas-senger assistants and other staff employed directly by the Airport Authority.

A union spokesman says talks with GlobeGround Fuel Services and the Airport Authority have reached an impasse, with both employers refusing to move on out-standing issues.

Bob Jackson, the PSAC regional execu-tive for B.C., says the jet fuelers have voted 100 per cent in favour of a strike to protest demands for split shifts and cuts to benefits.

Issues for the Airport Authority work-ers include flexible work hours, stronger language against contracting out and opposition to a proposed two-tier wage rate for seasonal workers.

The union is warning of delays for arriving and departing flights during the busy summer season if there’s no headway in negotiations.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Calls to

abolish the Senate, as proposed by Saskatchewan’s pre-

mier and the federal Opposition, are des-tined to go nowhere, say constitutional experts.

Premier Brad Wall says his Saskatchewan Party wants the doors closed on the upper chamber of Parliament.

A recent mail-in ref-erendum, the results of which were released Monday, saw 86 per cent of just over 3,700 of the party’s members vote to abolish the Senate.

Demands to either dramatically reform or abolish the Senate have become more pronounced as a scan-dal unfolds over allega-tions that a handful of senators misused pub-lic money by making improper housing or travel-expense claims.

The scandal has resulted in the resig-nation of the prime

minister’s chief of staff, an RCMP inves-tigation and the depar-tures of three senators - Conservatives Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin and Liberal Mac Harb - from their party caucuses.

Another former Conservative senator, Patrick Brazeau, was removed from the Tory caucus over an unrelated criminal matter that is current-ly before the courts.

But calls to close down the Senate are reactionary, and point-less, says University of Ottawa professor Errol Mendes.

“(Abolition) is a non-starter, whatever Saskatchewan and Brad Wall thinks,” says Mendes. “It’s not going

to happen.”NDP Leader Tom

Mulcair has also said he will campaign in the next federal elec-tion on a platform that includes getting rid of the unelected body.

But the Constitution requires, at minimum, the approval of seven provinces representing 50 per cent of the popu-lation to make any sig-nificant changes to the Senate, including abol-ishing it.

And a national debate over Senate abo-lition would only open the door to demands from the provinces for other changes to the Constitution, says Ned Franks, an emeri-tus political science professor at Queen’s University.

Calls to abolish Senate pointless, say experts

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVICTORIA - The Victoria, B.C., tot who

waged a battle against leukemia for most of her brief life has died in a Memphis, Tenn., hospital.

A posting on the family’s website for two-and-a-half-year-old Molly Campbell says she passed away early Wednesday morning.

Molly was just 28 days old in December 2010 when she was diagnosed with cancer of the white blood cells.

She fought the disease into remission for a year but relapsed last November and was transferred from B.C. Children’s Hospital to St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis for intensive chemotherapy.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SLAC-MEGANTIC, Que. -

The head of an embattled rail company made a contrite visit to a devastated town Wednesday under a rain of insults and a police escort.

The president of the rail-way at the cen-tre of the Lac-Megantic tragedy admitted that the handbrakes on his company’s train might not have been applied properly.

It was a chaotic scene as residents directed their anger at Ed Burkhardt of Chicago-based Rail World Inc., as he made his visit to the town since the diasater.

Upon his arrival, more than four days after the fiery crash, Burkhardt was heckled by angry residents of the town where dozens are feared to have died.

One man said he sped over

on his bicycle after finding out Burkhardt was there, in order to shout at him. The cyclist delivered a string of swear words.

Provincial police kept one woman at bay as she waved Canadian and American

flags while try-ing to approach B u r k h a r d t , while there were a couple of jour-nalistic shoving matches while media members struggled to get

a better shot of Burkhardt.The railway boss explained

that he’d stayed in Chicago to deal with the crisis from his office, where he was bet-ter able to communicate with insurers, the media and officials in different places during what he described as 20-hour work days.

“Am I a compassionate per-son?” Burkhardt said, during a lengthy press conference

where he calmly answered dozens of questions.

“I feel absolutely awful. I am devastated by what’s hap-pened.”

Burkhardt appeared to take responsibility for the dis-aster, saying the handbrakes might not have been properly applied on the train, a dif-ferent response from previ-ous days when the company appeared to blame firefight-ers.

He promised the com-pany’s full assistance. He said it would partner with the Red Cross, insurers and govern-ments to help fund humani-tarian aid and reconstruction of homes.

“Our financial resources are going to be devoted to this,” said the veteran rail-man. “This comes first.”

The Quebec government also announced Wednesday an initial $60-million fund to help victims, while declaring that flags across the province

would spend a week lowered to half-mast.

Burkhardt’s comments at the news scrum, held in the middle of a residential street, were at times drowned out by hecklers who shouted pro-fanities.

One onlooker with a boom-ing voice demanded that he visit the site that used to be Lac-Megantic’s downtown core, until it was obliterated by Saturday’s deadly derail-ment.

“It’s a catastrophe!” one man belted out in French as the American business-man answered a question. The heckler then added in English, through a thick French accent: “Go walk there!”

Burkhardt told the news conference that he wanted to visit the disaster zone, but said that he had been denied a permit by authorities because they didn’t want anyone else in the area.

CAMPBELL, JEAN - “GRANNY” — Jean, known to most as “Granny”, passed away suddenly but peace-fully in her home in Rossland, BC, on July 5, 2013.

She was a huge Saskatchewan Rough-riders fan and an even bigger fan of her grandchildren at their many sporting events. Granny spent many hours as a volunteer at the Rossland Thrift Store and never ven-

tured far without her coffee mug in hand. She was gener-ous and thoughtful and will be greatly missed.

A Memorial Service will be held at St. Andrew’s United Church, 2110 1ST Avenue, Rossland on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. with Reverend Keith Simmonds, Celebrant. Jordan Wren of Alternatives Funeral and Cre-mation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements.

As an expression of sympa-thy, donations may be made in Jean’s name to the Can-adian Cancer Society at 908 Rossland Avenue, Trail, BC, V1R 3N6 or to a charity of your choice.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condol-ence at the family’s online register www.myalternatives.ca

Steve Mossop said the heavy usage shows how profound-ly the devices have trans-formed daily life and quickly become pervasive.

“Look at kids and how glued they are to their devices and some of us adults as well,” Mossop said.

“It has implications all around, from driving while you’re texting, to social relationships, to impacts on other things you do with your time, like exercise, TV watching and newspaper readership.”

According to the poll, more than three-quarters of smartphone owners said that if they left home for the day without their device they’d return home to retrieve it.

Among young adults age 18-34, the smartphone ownership rate soars to 86 per cent.

Asked what sacrifices

they’d make to avoid giv-ing up their phone for three days, 70 per cent of young adults would rather give up Facebook, 25 per cent would give up computer internet access and 25 per cent said they’d rather be stood up for a date.

Just 18 per cent of young-er users would give up their device ahead of those alternatives, compared to 26 per cent of users aged 35-54 and 57 per cent of those 55 and up.

Checking social media is a common use.

A majority of users say they use their smartphone as their main way to use Twitter, more than a com-puter or a tablet, while a computer was still the pre-ferred way to use Facebook.

Actually making phone calls remained the top smartphone use, just ahead of texting.

But email, searching for

information, taking or shar-ing photos, checking the weather, researching prod-ucts or services and using map apps to get directions were also among the most common uses.

Smartphone ownership in B.C. now spans nearly two thirds of the popula-tion and has surpassed PVRs (52 per cent own one) and MP3 players (55 per cent), while rapidly closing in on landline telephones (71 per cent.)

And it’s still climbing.At least a fifth of non-

smartphone owners said they intend to get one with-in the next year.

Half of smartphone users have already bought some-thing via the device and more expect to use it for purchases in the future. More than a third of those surveyed said it’s important for them to have the latest smartphone.

OPINION

Revisionist history does Canadians no favoursIs there a Canadian, or

a significant group of Canadians, unaware of Canada’s historic-

al connection with Great Britain?

I ask the question because the Harper gov-ernment seems almost obsessed with reminding Canadians that the nation was once a British colony, as if we had somehow for-gotten.

Recent announcements by the Canadian govern-ment regarding a review of provincial Canadian history curriculum, the ongoing rebranding of the Canadian Forces to reflect British military tradition, and the campaign to cele-brate the anniversary of the War of 1812 all speak to a curious effort about why it is felt Canadians do not understand history, or why we must revert to it.

As someone who identi-fies as a staunch Canadian patriot, I have no prob-lem with reflecting on our country’s proud his-tory, but a significant part of that history seems to escape the Harper govern-ment: that is, the post-1945 version of Canada

that came into its own. Following the Second

World War, Canada never lost its British roots, but took great strides in asserting its independ-ence from both the British Crown and also from its American neighbours to the south.

The creation of a uniquely Canadian flag and national anthem, the repatriation of the Canadian Constitution (including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms), the involvement in inter-national peacekeeping and peacebuilding missions, and strides in human and economic development all signify the evolution of the Canadian identity since 1945.

A major fear through-out these reviews of his-tory and return to British traditions is that the Conservatives are trying to selectively erase or over-shadow what they perceive as Liberal legacies in the nation’s history.

Such a concern is par-ticularly highlighted in the areas of foreign affairs and national defence, as many of the alterations

made by Harper are aimed at events or policies enacted during eras when Canada was governed by a Liberal Prime Minister.

For instance, the newly-announced rebranding of the Canadian Forces back to British ranking and insignia work in dir-ect contrast to the amal-gamation of the Forces during the late 1960s; Harper’s continued refusal to use the lan-guage of Responsibility to Protect, or R2P, on the international stage, while approving missions that would seem to be prem-ised on the same prin-ciples, is based on the fact that R2P and human

security were prominent ideas during the Chrétien and Martin eras; and the Harper government’s con-founding withdrawal from multilateral institutions seems to be nothing more than an effort to promote a sense of Canadian iden-tity divorced from previ-ous Liberal governments.

Further, the review of Canadian history curricu-lum announced in May of 2013 is disturbing and unusual, considering edu-cation curriculum in all subject matters is a prov-incial mandate. To think that a national govern-ment would intervene and possibly seek to rewrite history serves little pur-pose at all.

The committee of fed-eral parliamentarians that would initiate the review, dominated of course by Conservative MPs, made particular note that emphasis needed to be placed on battles in mod-ern Canadian history.

If there is a history curriculum somewhere in this country that is not teaching the War of 1812, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean

War, peacekeeping, the Cold War, the Afghan conflict or humanitar-ian intervention mis-sions, that is absolutely a problem which should be immediately rectified. However, no evidence has been presented to indicate there is a problem with how students are being taught Canadian history, so why the review?

Remembering Canada’s past is integral, but proper scholarship is not select-ive in its memory. Love or hate the governments, Prime Minister’s or deci-sions of the past, they all account for and impact the Canada we have today. Our history is so import-ant precisely because our contributions to inter-national society extend far beyond Britain, the United States and battles.

My hope is that all Canadians take pride in that legacy, and not just what the government of the day deems relevant.

An editorial from the Winnipeg Free Press

Two Canadian children, one in Ontario and another in Alberta, are dead after being left in cars in the daytime heat.

Governments and agencies are once again issuing sea-sonal warnings to parents and guardians about the rapid, debilitating effects of even a little heat, magnified in the confines of a car.

No sensible adult intends to put a child’s life at risk. Some who study the predict-able misfortune that strikes children every summer this

way believe at root is happen-stance -- parents or guardians who forget that small chil-dren are in the back seat or believe they’ll be just a couple of minutes away from the car.

The warnings are valid but the message must be more than a seasonal reminder. The tragedy that befalls victims and their families in sum-mer often results from warm weather, but risk prevails through the year.

The summer-time lapse of judgment can be the fallout of a dangerous habit formed in the other eight months, when parents believe risk is dimin-

ished and leave their children alone in vehicles.

The danger is inherent in any season: Young children should not be left unsuper-vised in a vehicle, at any time.

A 30-second quick dash into the corner store can turn into a lifetime of regret. It might be a royal pain to unlatch toddlers, babies and youngsters when running in to pay a bill or buy a carton of milk.

That inconvenience is no comparison to the suffering that results when a child is injured or dies.

It pays to be a good neigh-bour, especially when your neighbour is also your number one customer.

Albertans who want to main-tain a robust oil sands sector in our province would be wise to heed that advice.

In a landmark speech on climate change last week, U.S. President Barack Obama said that the cli-mate impact of the Keystone XL pipeline “will be absolutely critic-al” to his decision as to whether the project will pro-ceed.

O b a m a ’ s decision to include Keystone – which would run from Hardisty, Alberta, to Steele City, Nebraska – in a climate speech in the first place is tell-ing. He has now made a crystal-clear link between oil sands pipelines and the greenhouse gas emissions from the product they transport.

Alberta’s oil sands are the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada, and therefore the lar-gest barrier to Canada meet-ing our international climate commitments under the Copenhagen Accord. That’s important because we share those commitments with the United States. How Alberta manages emissions from the oil sands is critically important to our relationship with our

largest trading partner.The Pembina Institute has

long maintained that bet-ter environmental perform-ance – especially in terms of greenhouse gas emissions – is necessary for the oil sands to earn social license and com-

pete in the global market. That message has only been reinforced by emerging policies in the European Union and California that promote l o w e r - c a r b o n fuels, and now by Obama’s position on Keystone.

This spring, it looked like the

Government of Alberta had seen the writing on the wall: word leaked out in newspaper reports that they were consid-ering a more robust approach to greenhouse gas emissions.

At the time, we credited Environment Minister Diana McQueen and her government for acknowledging that Alberta needs to improve its perform-ance and starting the work of updating the province’s car-bon pricing system. But since then, perhaps due to negative pushback from the energy sec-tor, the government has gone quiet.

Alberta has had greenhouse gas regulations for years, but they are relatively feeble. The levy an oil sands producer pays for not reducing emis-sions works out to less than 10

cents per barrel, meaning the incentive to invest in techno-logical fixes is very low. Setting a meaningful price on carbon price would encourage com-panies to innovate and invest more in emissions controls.

Alberta’s current approach to greenhouse gas emissions has also been criticized for being out-of-date – its strin-gency has not changed since the rules took effect in 2007. In contrast, British Columbia’s price on carbon was inaugur-ated at $10 per tonne and grad-ually increased until it reached $30 per tonne last year. The average cost of compliance for a company with B.C.’s system is roughly 16 times more than in Alberta, yet the economy on the other side of the Rockies is doing just fine – undermining the argument that reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is bad for business.

A meaningful price on carbon, along with a plan to meet Canada’s climate com-mitments, would significantly strengthen Alberta’s case for Keystone among U.S. policy makers. Given the importance of Alberta’s energy export mar-kets, it’s surprising that the federal and provincial govern-ments are dragging their feet on this issue. If Obama decides to reject Keystone, they will be guilty of failing to heed the tru-est adage of all: “The customer is always right.”

Simon Dyer is the policy director at the Pembina Institute, a clean energy think tank based in Alberta.

If Obama rejects Keystone pipeline blame it on Ottawa and Alberta

leading West Kootenay Diamondbacks played a vital two-game set against second place Colville in Washington State American Legion baseball action Tuesday night at Butler Park.

The 9-1 Dbacks were clinging to a one-game lead over the 12-2 Colville team going into the double-header Tuesday, but stretched it to three games after hammer-ing the visitors 10-4 and 13-0.

“These two games were huge,” said Diamondback coach Roger Handley. “If we run the table now, we’re definitely in first place, we don’t have to worry about them catching us.”

The breathing room just might be what the Dbacks needed as they get set to finish off the regular season this weekend with a brutal eight-games-in-five days marathon.

The team has def-initely been buttressed by a half dozen Jays players, but even the younger players have contributing mightily, says Handley. And the key to the successful season thus far has been consistency and a positive attitude in the dugout.

“I try not to let them get down, if a kid strikes out there’s someone else to pick them up,” says Handley. “If you’re not hitting the ball this game, you hit it the next game. I want to keep it positive and not worry when they do strike out.”

In the 13-0 match Scott Davidson was one strike away from a no hitter, when the Coville batter chopped a sharp grounder to short. It looked to be a sure out, but at the last moment the ball took a wild hop over the shoulder of the short-stop and into left field. While it was counted an error on the score-board, the official scorekeeper called it a hit, spoiling Davidson’s bid for the no-hitter.

Still Davidson’s effort was superb, ced-

ing just one hit, and no runs, on no walks, and seven strikeouts, while allowing just two base runners all game.

“He was great, loved the job he did.”

Handley actually rested both Davidson and Johnson at Spokane’s Wood Bat tournament on the weekend where they went 3-2, so they could be fresh for the two-game tilt against Colville.

With two out in the top of the first inning Sean Barta knocked in the winning run with a single up the middle as the Dbacks jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning.

Barta then plated another two in the second with a double off the wall and the Dbacks extended the lead to 7-0. WKD would score four more in the fourth, courtesy of Joe Ferraro, who stepped up and cleared the bases scoring three with a drive to right

centre to make it 11-0, and safely in mercy-rule territory.

The Backs added two more in the fifth, before shutting Colville down and out. Barta went 3-for-3 at the dish with two doubles and a walk, while Josh Blank was 2-for-2 with two walks

In the opening match Tanner Johnson allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out nine for the 10-4 victory, as the Diamondbacks ended the game in rare and dramatic fashion

Colville threatened in the top of seven.

With runners on first and second, and nobody out. Shortstop Allan Patterson smashed a liner towards right field but first baseman Barta made a great stab, then stepped on his base, and threw it to second base for the triple play.

Colville had jumped out into a 2-0 lead in the first, but the Dbacks plated five runs in the second and another five in the fifth to go up 10-2. Ryan Sahlstrom went 3-for-3 at the plate, while Ferraro had at 2-for-3 night.

If the Dbacks can

hang on to first place, they will start the play-offs on Wednesday in Spokane against the second-place team from the National div-ision.

This game may be their biggest test as the winner moves on, while the loser’s sea-son is over.

“That’s an elim-ination game, so you have to advance from there,” added Handley. “If you get into the next game I think we play the first team of the American division but if we lose that game at least we’re still alive and go down to the loser’s bracket.”

The top four teams advance to the state championship.

The Dbacks play Rogers tonight at Butler Park at 5 and 7:30 p.m. followed by doubleheaders on Saturday at Butler, Sunday away, and Monday at Butler.

B y T i m e s s T a f fTrail Track and

Field Club athletes were off to the races at the Jack Brow Track Meet in Kelowna over the Canada Day long weekend.

Six local track and field athletes took home a total of nine medals at the annual event that saw close to 200 athletes from across B.C. and Alberta compete.

Masters athlete Donal Currie was golden all around with first-place finishes in the 100-metre sprint, the 200-m sprint and 1,500-m run.

In the 12 year old girls division, Elizabeth Mayer rang up gold in the long jump with a leap of 3.85-m., a silver in the 100-metre dash, a bronze in the 300-m run and the high jump, and fouth-place finishes in the 800-m run, 80-m hurdles,

and 200-m hurdles.Maya Amantea and

Jendaya Shields also had some good per-formances in nine year old girls. Shields won silver in the high jump, fourth in the shot put, fifth in 60-m hurdles and long jump, and sixth in the 100-m dash.

Amantea came fourth in the 1,000-m run, eighth in the long jump, and 10th in the 60-m dash and the hurdles.

M a d e l i n e Kinghorn, 12, grabbed sixth place in the 300-m dash, ninth in 200-m hurdles, 10 in the long jump, and shot put.

In the 10-year-old boys category Finley Kinghorn took top spot winning gold in the javelin with a throw of 18.19 metres. He just missed a medal in shot put pla-cing fourth, and came fifth in the discus.

Saints still signing in summerB y T i m e s c o n T r i B u T o r

The Selkirk College Men’s Hockey team signed goaltender Aaron Oakley of Richmond to attend Selkirk College and com-pete for the Saints beginning in the 2013/14 B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League season.

Oakley joins Selkirk following an outstanding three-year career in the Pacific Junior Hockey League with the Richmond Sockeyes and Abbotsford Pilots. He led the league in a number of statistical categories during the 2012/13 sea-son as a member of the Pilots, including games played 33, min-utes played, 1941, and wins 23. The 20-year-old also finished second amongst PJHL netminders with a 2.01 goals-against average and fourth with a .918 save percentage.

His overall totals spanning three seasons in the PJHL include

58 wins and 21 losses with a 2.27 GAA and a .914 save percentage.

Oakley appeared at back-to-back Cyclone Taylor Cups in 2011 and 2012 with the Sockeyes and Pilots respectively, and went on to win the Keystone Cup with Abbotsford to conclude his 19-year old season.

He has also earned a number of individual accolades, including the PJHL’s Most Valuable Player award for the 2012/13 season. He was an all-star in all three years played in the league and was the recipi-ent of the Top Goaltender award as a rookie with the Sockeyes in 2010/11.

“He comes from a winning pro-gram in Abbotsford that demands excellence from its players, so we expect him to be well-prepared to make an impact at the col-lege level,” said Saints’ coach Jeff Dubois.

THE CANADIAN PRESSTORONTO - The Toronto

Raptors have confirmed the trade that will send Andrea Bargnani to the New York Knicks.

“Trade w/ @knicks is done,” the team said via Twitter.

The deal was reported more than a week ago but could not be officially completed until Wednesday.

In return, the Raptors receive Knicks reserves Steve Novak,

Marcus Camby and Quentin Richardson. The Knicks are also sending the Raptors a 2016 first-round pick and second-round picks in 2014 and 2017.

Bargnani is coming off an injury-shortened season that was his worst since his second year in the league, and had become a lightning rod for a struggling Toronto team that missed the playoffs this past season for the fifth year in a row.

The Raptors attempted to trade Bargnani this past sea-son before two significant elbow injuries derailed any serious interest.

The seven-foot, 256-pound centre was drafted first overall by the Raptors in 2006, and went on to average 15.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game over seven seasons in Toronto. The Raptors made the playoffs just once since drafting him.

Bargnani traded to New York Knicks

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SBOSTON - The Boston Bruins

have locked up starting goaltender Tuukka Rask with an eight-year,

$56-million deal.The eight-year deal is the long-

est allowed under the current col-lective bargaining agreement for

a team re-signing its own player.

Rask compiled a 19-10-5 record last season, with a goals-against average of 2.00, a .929 save per-centage and five shut-outs.

He went on to post a 1.88 GAA .940 save percentage in 22 playoff games as the Bruins advanced to the Stanley Cup final, losing to Chicago in six games.

The six-foot-three, 185-pound native of Tampere, Finland was drafted in the first round, 21st overall, by Toronto in the 2005 draft. The Bruins acquired Rask from the Maple Leafs in exchange for Andrew Raycroft in June 2006.

Dear Annie: I am 29 years old, own my home and support myself. I am in a seri-ous relationship with a wonderful man who is African-American.

All of my life, my family has been ruled by my maternal grand-mother. My “nana” doesn’t approve of this relationship because my boyfriend is black and I am white, and this has caused much heart-ache for me. My moth-er says I am not allowed to bring my boyfriend to family functions, because “it will kill my grandmother.” She also says I am selfish to con-tinue this relationship despite the fact that my parents and nana don’t approve.

Annie, I’m planning to marry this man. I don’t feel that I should have to give up my happiness because my family cannot accept the man I have cho-sen to spend my life with. How do I con-vince my parents that I’m entitled to happi-

ness regardless of what they think? I am in so much pain because it seems that my parents care more about my nana’s feelings than their daughter’s future. -- Devastated

Dear Devastated: If this is the man you are going to marry, then do it and stop worry-ing about your family’s approval. You should pay attention to them if your choices are poor -- if you pick abusers or addicts, for example. But if your guy is good to you and you will take care of each other throughout life’s ups and downs, you do not need to please anyone else. While it would be sad if your family can-

not eventually learn to accept this, please have the courage of your convictions.

Dear Annie: My hus-band and I recently traveled with another couple to a differ-ent city for a sporting event. The area where we stayed had a shuttle bus to take us to the ballgame.

After the game, our husbands walked ahead of us, and my friend and I were talking and didn’t realize that we were not walking toward the shuttle bus. By the time we noticed, about 10 people were in line between our hus-bands and us. We said, “Excuse me,” and tried to get to our husbands, and at least four peo-ple started screaming, “Who do you think you are trying to cut the line? You New Yorkers just push ahead of everybody.”

They continued to make uncompliment-ary remarks about New Yorkers (we don’t even live there anymore). My

friend and I just stood there because we didn’t want to get into an argument. What should we have done? -- Judy

Dear Judy: It might have helped if you had simply said, “So sorry! Please excuse us. We need to catch up to our husbands,” and then called to the men so they could confirm. But people are not obli-gated to let you pass them in line, and you were smart not to pick a fight with these bel-ligerent folks. We trust your husbands saved you seats on the shut-tle.

Dear Annie: I dis-agree with your response to “Rejected,” whose wife spends her time online or with her widowed mother instead of in the bed-room.

If this had been a woman writing about her husband, your first reaction would have been to suggest an affair. I think this explains everything. My ex used to do the same

thing when she “visited her aunt.” I found out when I saw an enve-lope addressed to a P.O. Box and read about her sexual exploits.

She is probably stay-ing with him so she won’t have to give him money in a divorce. -- Been There and Had It

Done to MeDear Been: You

could be right. However, he said they have been mar-ried for 34 years. For many women, sex after menopause becomes a miserable chore or even a painful experi-ence. We wouldn’t rule

out an affair, but we think it’s more likely she’s simply avoiding intimacy.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime edi-tors of the Ann Landers column.

For Friday, July 12, 2013ARIES(March 21 to April 19)Be open to new ways of

improving your health today because this is possible. This could be due to a suggestion from someone else or an idea that occurs to you.

TAURUS(April 20 to May 20)You might see new

approaches to dealing more successfully with children, or a better way to deal with a romantic partner. Some will also see ways to improve their sports technique.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good day to recy-

cle, sell or toss anything you don’t need at home. Be real-istic and ruthless. Get rid of what you no longer use.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) In discussions with others

today, you will be convinc-ing. (That’s why this is a strong day for those of you in sales, marketing, teach-ing and acting.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug.22) You can dream up solid,

moneymaking ideas today. You might also see new uses and applications for something you already own. Clever you!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Take a look in the mirror

today to see how you can improve your appearance and create a better impres-sion on your world. First impressions count a lot in society.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Because old issues with

authority figures are back in your lap again, you might come up with some behind-the-scenes solutions today. This is a good day for research.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A conversation with a

female acquaintance will be impacting and memo-rable. You also might attract someone very powerful to

you today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions with a female

authority figure, perhaps about inheritances, taxes and debt from the past, will be significant today. You intend to stand your ground.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) In discussions with others

today, someone might shift your point of view about

politics, religion or racial issues. Something will like-ly happen that makes you rethink things for the bet-ter.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You’re in a good frame of

mind for important discus-sions about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt. You will defend your best interests and be persua-sive about it.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today you might see

ways to improve a relation-ship or even improve your approach to a close friend-ship. Conversely, someone might make a suggestion along these lines to you. Be open to this.

YOU BORN TODAY You are persuasive and

convincing, which is why others admire you and fol-low you. You know how to

use humor to beguile peo-ple. You set high standards for yourself; and you know how to get the best out of others. You are compe-tent in many areas. In the year ahead, you will have a chance to study or learn something valuable. Grab it.
