PROUDLY SERVING THE COMMUNITIES OF ROSSLAND, WARFIELD, TRAIL, MONTROSE, FRUITVALE & SALMO
B Y S H E R I R E G N I E R Times Staff
Greater Trail mayors are seeking power in numbers before they address the province about an energy rate disparity between Fortis BC and BC Hydro.
Warfield, Trail and Montrose mayors formed an alliance last week in light of a recent energy report, which determined that Fortis consumer rates are about 20 per cent higher than its counterpart, BC Hydro.
“We already realize that we need to involve other mayors within the Fortis service area,” said Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs. “And discuss how we are going to handle this issue from a political perspective.”
The energy rate report, which has not been made pub-lic, was commis-sioned earlier this year by the Energy and Sustainability Committee of the Lower Columbia C o m m u n i t y Development Team Society (LCCDTS).
“Right now, we are on a fact-find-ing mission,” said Warfield Mayor Bert Crockett.
“We need input and consensus from the entire service area, including the many rural directors, to determine the best strategy to move forward.”
Bogs has been appointed the spokesperson for a future strategic planning session to address concerns arising from the significant difference of residential rates between Fortis BC and BC Hydro customers.
Though specifics can’t be shared at this time, the report uncovers some of the primary drivers behind the rate differences, according to Mike Martin, LCCDTS chair.
One reason, he said, is that Fortis has com-pleted upgrades to its distribution systems.
“Fortis had a very aggressive program over the last few years to complete system upgrades,” said Martin, in an earlier interview with the Trail Times.
“By government intervention, BC Hydro has not been allowed to do that.”
Also, BC Hydro has access to a lower interest rate because every loan is backed by taxpayers in the province.

B Y S H E R I R E G N I E RTimes Staff
The Columbia River has a new watchdog to guard the future of its southerly flow.
Katrine Conroy has been appointed opposition critic
for the Columbia River Treaty (CRT) review after an NDP post-election reshuffle of dut-ies.
“I asked Adrian (Dix) for the job because I think it is a really important issue in our region,” said Conroy. “We need to have a designated person from the Kootenay
area who will make sure that we are represented in talks with the local and provincial government committees.
“I think things need to change,” she added. “Let’s face it, the treaty decimated our agricultural industry, and impacted tourism and recrea-tion. This time we need to
have terms that benefit us in all areas.”
The position also assigns Conroy responsibility to oversee Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) operations and Columbia Power.
These duties previously fell under the umbrella of

Today, the hands are the same as last week, but the bidding is
different. Last week, South was forced to bid 3NT because part-ner opened and he also had an opener. He did not have a four card suit and did not have a club raise ( e i t h e r simple or limit). He bid 3NT w i t h o u t investigating major-suit stoppers. As a result, he went down three.
That result could be avoided had they used inverted minor raises. This is a system to be used by everyone. A raise to two clubs shows 10 points or more and a raise to
three clubs shows less. The bidding:
South has 13 points and opens his better minor, one club. North does not have a four-card major and has the minimum length
in clubs to show club s u p p o r t . He bids two clubs s h o w i n g 10 or more p o i n t s . South bids two dia-monds to show a dia-mond stop-
per and North bids his spade stopper. South knows that the spades are shorter than four cards because North had already denied a four-card major.
North and South do not have a heart stopper so neither one can bid hearts or notrump. They play in
three clubs, the best contract here.
The Lead: West has the four leads that one never leads against a suit contract.
1. A singleton trump.
2. anything from an ace.
3. The ace without the king.
4. Interior sequence leads are only led against notrump.
A worthless double-ton is not good either because it often sets up the suit for the declarer. West does not have a trump stopper and should never lead a worthless double-ton. West leads the ace of hearts because it is the suit that kept the opponents out of 3NT. Bridge is full of rules and equally full of exceptions.
The play: West takes the first three hearts. East discards the two
and three of diamonds. The two of diamonds tells partner he does not want a diamond switch. West cashes the ace of spades and exits a spade. South draws trump and claims.
Result: Three clubs making for +110.
Notes:-Had West not
led the ace of hearts, South would draw trump and pitch a heart on the long dia-mond. He would make three clubs plus one for +130 and a top board.

Trail Rotarians pulled up the tulip bulbs at the arena at the beginning of the month. The bulbs were given to Glenmerry Residents Association and the Forestry Class at J.L. Crowe where they will be replanted on the hillsides. Due to upgrades to Victoria Street this summer, the arena bed and the flagpole bed at the base of Glover Road won’t be planted. But look for the show beds in other areas of town. Anyone wanting to help with maintaining the beds, contact CiB at 368-9227.

The best high school in the district and one of the best in the region dropped in the annual Fraser Institute’s secondary school rankings for the province.
Rossland Secondary School fell from 49th out of 260 secondary schools to 103rd out of 284 secondary schools in the annual School Report Card ranking system.
With an enrolment in Grade 12 of 43, the average exam mark for the final year of RSS was the lowest it has been in five years at 71.6 per cent, down from a high of 75 in 2010.
The percentage of exams failed, however, decreased in 2012 to 5.6 per cent from 6.1 per cent.
The school where RSS students could be heading this fall, J.L. Crowe Secondary School in Trail, performed better but was still behind RSS’ performance at 107th in 2012, down from 80th.
The average exam mark at Crowe was 68.1 per cent, up slightly from 2011’s 67.8. The aver-age exam mark in the last five years—for an enrolment of 159 Grade 12 students—has not risen over 70 per cent.
The percentage of exams failed also decreased in 2012 to eight per cent from 8.3 per cent.
The average exam mark at Castlegar’s Stanley Humphries was 67.6 per cent, down slightly from 2011’s 68 per cent. The school’s perform-ance dipped at 173rd in 2012, down from 119th in 2011. The average exam mark in the last five years—for an enrolment of 142 Grade 12 students—has not risen at Stanley Humphries over 70.1 per cent.
The percentage of exams failed also increased in 2012 to 10.3 per cent from 8.6 per cent.
In the nearby Kootenay Lake school district the top school was Nelson’s L. V. Rogers, that was ranked 98th out of 284 schools.
To the north in the Arrow Lakes school dis-trict, the district’s only high school in Nakusp rose three rankings from 207 to 204th.
To the west in the Boundary school district, Grand Forks’ high school rose from 191st to 133rd in 2012, while its only other high school, Boundary Central in Midway, was 213th, down from 131st in 2011.
Only two public schools appear in the top 20 secondary schools as private schools continue to dominate the ranking system.
Public school Okanagan Mission is ranked 17th, while Vancouver’s University Hill is slight-ly lower at 18th, tied with private schools Kelowna Christian and King David. Private school York House rated the highest, with a per-fect score of 10 out of 10, followed by Crofton House, Southridge and St George’s.
The Report Card rated 284 public and independent schools based on several factors, largely based on mandatory provincial exams in grades 10 through 12.

FROM PAGE 1Bogs added that BC Hydro
receives tremendous finan-cial incentives from the prov-incial government such as grants in lieu of taxes; bene-fits that Fortis BC is not sub-ject to.
“There are substan-tial advantages in terms on Hydro’s debts, which are at the provincial borrowing level and significantly lower than those of Fortis,” he said. “Somehow the government
needs to have Hydro and Fortis on the same playing field.”
However, the rate dispar-ity results are somewhat marred by BC Hydro’s prac-tise of deferral accounting. Customers don’t see a rate increase but it shows up in the BC Hydro books as an asset. Currently, the deferral account is sitting on a $5 billion mountain of debt that awaits ratepayers.
“We cannot lose sight
of the fact that BC Hydro rates are lower, in part as a result of government inter-vention into energy setting,” explained Martin. “Our con-cern is that the debt level of BC Hydro needs to be addressed and this should not be at the expense of rate-payers within the Fortis BC service area.”
An online search for cur-rent energy rates finds that Fortis bi-monthly residen-tial rates are listed as $30.33
based on a 60-day billing per-iod. The first 1,600 kWh are billed at 8.803 cents per kWh; any additional kWh are billed at 12.952 cents.
Under the residential con-servation rate, BC Hydro cus-tomers pay 6.90 cents per kWh for the first 1,350 kWh they use over an average two-month billing period. Above that amount, customers pay 10.34 cents per kWh for the balance of the electricity used during the billing period.
Concerns rise over energy rate disparity
FROM PAGE 1BC NDP’s Energy Critic, John Horgan, but Dix decid-ed “it would be better to have a Kootenay person,” explained Conroy.
The CRT review began in 2011 with a series of pub-lic consultations and com-
mitment from the Local Governments’ Committee, with support from CBT, to provide an opportunity for residents to understand the impact of the CRT, and this time around, maybe have a say in its terms.
“The first time around
in the ‘60s, the government came around and said this is what’s happening,” said Conroy.
Although the treaty was signed without a specific ter-mination date, a minimum length of 60 years (2024) was agreed upon.
However, the treaty states that either country may ter-minate the agreement by providing a minimum of 10 years advance, written notice.
Conroy will also continue her role as the seniors and senior health critic.

Citing “science-based evidence,” the Osoyoos Indian Band announced last week it would ban the installation of smart
meters at 700 homes and businesses on reserve land.
“Having been pre-sented with science-based evidence, the band council and I are convinced that Fortis’ proposed wire-less smart meters in meshed-grid net-works have the poten-tial to harm our chil-dren and our environ-ment,” Chief Clarence Louie said in a press release.
“No scientist on the planet has been able to verify the safety of these extremely dan-gerous devices that
emit microwave radi-ation 24/7 and which cannot be turned off.”
The press release does not specify the science-based evi-dence upon which the council based its deci-sion.
Louie did not immediately respond to a request for com-ment.
FortisBC has applied to the B.C. Utilities Commissions to install the devices, which it contends emit only tiny bursts of electromagnetic radiation below limits set by Health Canada.
The BCUC is expected to rule later this year on the appli-cation.
FortisBC spokes-person Neal Pobran said without that approval, it’s pre-mature to speculate how the company will respond to the OIB’s move.
“We’re definitely going to work with all concerned customers if we get approval, and hopefully we can get a resolution through dialogue,” he said.
“It’s a bit early in the game, because we don’t even have a pro-ject to begin with, so we can’t really specu-late if we’re even
going to be going out there and putting on these meters.”
Pobran said the company isn’t con-templating an opt-out option for individual customers, and isn’t sure to which evi-dence the OIB has referred.
“There’s no real sci-entific or health rea-son to be concerned with the advanced meters,” Pobran said.
The smart meters proposed by FortisBC are designed to wire-lessly relay usage information to a neighbourhood hub, which would then transmit the informa-tion to headquarters.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SEDMONTON - Police chiefs
in Alberta want the provincial government to toughen up its traffic laws.
They have voted in favour of a resolution that would allow offi-cers to seize vehicles of drivers caught going more than 50 kilo-metres per hour over the speed limit.
It would also give officers the authority to suspend drivers’ licences - both of which would last one week.
Edmonton police chief Rod Knecht says there’s too many people being killed on the high-ways and it’s due to people driv-ing 160-170 km/h and even 200 km/h.
The chiefs don’t want it to be a mandatory seizure; they want police to have the ability to use their discretion when seizing the vehicle.
Knecht says that would accommodate circumstances
such as a woman in labour with a complication.
“We just don’t want to see people killed,” said Knecht, who is head of the Alberta Chiefs of Police.
The vote was not unanimous because in some rural areas, wor-ries about access to tow trucks was an issue.
The chiefs approved a similar motion in 2009, but the province turned it down.
Justice Minister Jonathan Denis said Monday there’s no hard proof it would work.
“We simply haven’t seen any evidence to suggest that these additional seizure powers that are being advocated would actually have a measured impact on these high-speed drivers,” Denis said.
According to the B.C. Ministry of Justice, since its policy went into effect in 2010, the number of fatal and injury-related crashes was cut in half compared to the previous five-year period.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SMONTREAL -
Montreal has had its second scandal-pro-voked mayoral resig-nation in less than a year, with an arrest and criminal charges leading to the depar-ture Tuesday of an interim city-hall boss.
Replacement mayor Michael Applebaum stepped down a day after he was slapped with 14 criminal char-ges.
He made the announcement in a two-minute state-ment at city hall. He did not take questions. Applebaum said he’s innocent of the char-ges against him and will work to prove his innocence.
“I will do everything I can to prove the accusations against me are unfounded,” Applebaum said.
“I hope you under-stand that I will put my energy into my defence and my family. This is why I am resigning as mayor of Montreal. It is the responsible thing to do.”
He said he hoped to someday regain
Montrealers’ trust. He conceded that, in the meantime, it would have been implausible to try continuing as mayor.
In making that dir-ect appeal to residents Applebaum commit-ted a quintessentially Montreal linguistic flub, mixing English and French terms with unintended conse-quences.
“I would like to tell Montrealers that I love them - that I under-stand their frustration, their deception and their cynicism with
the political climate of the last few years.”
The word “decep-tion” has an entirely different meaning in French. In the local franglais patois, how-ever, even native English-speakers like Applebaum will occa-sionally use the term incorrectly when they mean to say, “dis-appointment.”
The mistake was not without irony. Applebaum spent part of his statement combating the notion that he had deceived Montrealers.

Another Montreal mayor resigns
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Two
speakers hired by the Senate to help motiv-ate senators and staff in the midst of a raging scandal over the abuse of taxpayers’ money have had their event cancelled pending fur-ther discussion.
Communications consultant Barry McLoughlin and motivational speaker Marc-Andre Morel had been slated to talk about “the enduring value of the Senate and help bring a little per-spective to the current situation,” according to an invitation that went out Tuesday mor-ning.
But after a story by The Canadian Press publicized the event, a number of prominent senators blew a gasket.
Marjory LeBreton, government leader in the Senate, said the idea was discussed in principle at a meeting of the internal econ-omy committee’s steer-ing committee. But it was never approved by members of the com-mittee.
“I was shocked when I saw that (email invitation),” LeBreton
said outside the Senate chamber.
“I would strong-ly suggest that the administration cancel any plans they have for motivational speak-ers.”
Asked if she thinks hiring speakers is a waste of money, LeBreton responded: “At this point in time, I certainly do.”
Sure enough, late Tuesday afternoon all senate staff received a fresh, high-priority communication.
“The staff sessions scheduled for tomor-row have been can-celled until further notice, pending dis-cussion with the full committee of Internal Economy,” said the email from Reina Bernier, the Senate’s senior advisor on ser-vices and programs.
The talks had been scheduled for Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. (ET) - when the Senate is supposed to be sitting.
The subject line of the email invitation told recipients that “the Senate values you and the work you do - come find out why.”
It was not immedi-
ately clear how much the Senate contracted to pay for the speak-ers but it appears the decision was made by Senate clerk Gary O’Brien.
The Senate has been rocked for the past six months by a scandal involving four senators and their alleged abuse of living and travel expenses.

OPINION
Apathy and the rise of deviant democracyOne of the most
mi sunder s tood concepts in mod-ern politics is
what we colloquially refer to as “democracy”.
Canadians, Americans, many European states and other select nations across the world refer to their system of government as democratic, but rarely comprehend the founda-tions upon which the term is based, or the sub-vari-ants of democracy operat-ing in the world today. No two democracies are really the same, though we can find commonalities among those systems that are par-liamentary, presidential, or semi-presidential.
But apart from the type of democracy a nation may adopt, one of the key ele-ments examined is the degree to which democratic principles are followed.
Arguably, the most important component of a functioning democracy is constitutionalism, meaning the adherence by a govern-ment to the rules and sep-aration of powers defined in a written or unwritten con-stitution. In most systems this involves allocating power in different branches of government, such as an
executive branch, a legisla-tive branch, and a judicial branch. Beyond separating power, it is also important for each of these branches to be able to check the power of the others, so the consolidation of power is not centralized in one branch. These defining aspects of modern democ-racy stem from a conscious effort to avoid despotism and corruption, and are predicated upon historical experience and philosoph-ical teachings.
In recent weeks, Canadians and Americans have been compelled to question the very nature of their political systems and the degree to which their democracies are working. In the Canadian context, the role and independence of the Canadian Senate have been quite prominent for all of the wrong reasons, as scandal and ethical cor-ruption seem to be running rampant in the chamber dedicated to “Sober Second Thought”. In the United States, revelations about a complex surveillance net-work known as PRISM and accusations of the govern-ment listening to phone conversations, monitoring personal email, and the
existence of an Orwellian “Big Brother” state appar-atus have citizens and gov-ernment officials question-ing precisely how demo-cratic America actually is.
Much of this questioning is derived from the fact that government has become far too big and the people have allowed their rights to be violated due to the growth in governmental control and operation.
We do not have pure democracy because, as Aristotle pointed out 2,000 years ago, it is deviant. Allowing every citizen of a state to have a say in the daily function of govern-ment is unreasonable, and thus grew what we now know as representative democracy. The entire pur-pose of these democratic systems is to allow the cit-
izenry to elect representa-tives who will effectively embody their interests and goals, and protect their rights. There is no doubt we need government based on the inherently self-inter-ested nature of human-ity, but we must also hold government to account because those representa-tives we elect are equally as self-interested, and thus we separate power among governmental branches to avoid corruption.
James Madison, writ-ing under the pseudonym Publius, summarized this idea very well in Federalist Paper 51 when he argued: “But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal con-trols on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.”
We live in an era where governments are far too
big. And because of their size they are virtually impossible to hold account-able.
Governments on both sides of the border have become crutches for people rather than institutions designed to ensure people have the best opportunities to achieve their full poten-tial. We have allowed them to micro-legislate virtually every aspect of daily life. It really is only a matter of time until we see the “How to Wipe your Nose when you Sneeze Act”.
The social contract of granting power to repre-sentative government was never intended to remove accountability and civic responsibility from citizens. It was, rather, a way for people to determine what kind of government they wanted to help guide them towards the best society possible. Somewhere along the line we dropped the ball and should not be so sur-prised at the Aristotelian deviancy we see out of our government’s today.

You certainly can’t say that Iranian elec-tions are boring. In 2005, Iranians sur-prised everybody by electing the darkest of dark horses, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
to the presidency. They didn’t know much about him, but at least he seemed different from all the establishment candidates.
Well, he was different, but not in a good way. By the 2009 election Ahmadinejad’s erratic and confrontational style had turned people off, and he should have lost – but he rigged the vote and triggered mass protests that badly frightened the regime before they were crushed.
Term limits pre-vented Ahmadinejad from running again this year, which meant that last Friday’s election was clean. So the Iranians pulled off another surprise, electing Hassan Rouhani, the only moderate candidate among the six contenders, to the presidency in the first round. Rouhani got 50 percent of the votes; his closest rival got only 16 percent.
The foreign reaction to Rouhani’s victory was instantaneous. The United States offered to open direct talks with Tehran on Iran’s nuclear pro-gramme as well as on bilateral relations. Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, by con-trast, predictably warned that there should be no “wishful thinking” about Rouhani’s victory. So what is he: new broom, or another disappoint-ment in the making?
Especially in the past week, after the “reform-ist” leadership decided he was the least bad alternative and threw its weight behind him, Rouhani has been saying some interesting things. “What I truly wish is for moderation to return to the country,” he told the reformist daily Sharq last Wednesday. “We have suffered many blows as a result of extremism.”
“It seems that extremists on both sides are determined to maintain the state of hostility and hatred between (the United States and Iran),” he told another newspaper on Thursday, “but logic says that there should be a change of direc-tion.” And he repeatedly promised that both the nuclear issue and the resulting economic sanc-tions against Iran would be solved if he became president.
Fine words, but he said most of them AFTER the reformists lost hope for a victory themselves and gave Rouhani their support instead. But he is still really an insider, a man whose whole life has been dedicated to preserving the present political order in Iran.
On the other hand, so are Mohammad Khatemi and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the two ex-presidents who gave him their backing. They are now seen as reformers because cir-cumstances change, and so do people’s views. All
these men are still determined to preserve Iran’s unique combination of theocracy and democ-racy, but they understand the need to shift the balance towards democracy, and also to deliver a reasonable level of prosperity to the voters.
You might think that Rouhani’s highest prior-ity, therefore, must be to end the sanctions that are crippling Iran’s economy and impoverishing ordinary voters. Not so: trust comes first. In order to retain credibility with the people who voted for him, he must first release Iran’s polit-ical prisoners.
There are at least 800 political prisoners in Iran. Most are people who participated in the “green” protests against the rigged election of 2009, but journalists, human rights activists, feminists and leaders of all the minority religions in Iran (Christians, Sunni Muslims and Bahai) are also in jail. Even amidst great economic hardship, that is what the crowds in the streets celebrating Rouhani’s victory were demanding most urgently.
After that, of course, he must make a deal with the Western countries that have waged a long campaign on Israel’s behalf against Iran’s alleged intention to build nuclear weapons. That is not an impossible task, for Iran is certainly not working on nuclear weapons at the moment: the US National Intelligence Estimates of 2007 and 2011 both say so, and even the Israeli intel-ligence chiefs agree.
The whole campaign against Iran is based not on evidence but on mistrust: the convic-tion in some Western quarters (and most Israeli ones) that if Iran can enrich uranium, the “mad mullahs” are bound to build and use nuclear weapons in the end. But it is Iran’s right to build nuclear reactors and enrich fuel for them under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which it has signed and still observes.
Many in the West are privately uneasy about waging a campaign against Iran’s quite legal nuclear power programme when their own ally, Israel, has not signed the NPT and secretly pos-sesses hundreds of nuclear weapons. Now that motor-mouth Ahmedinejad is gone and a saner leader is about to take the reins in Tehran, there could be a deal on the nuclear issue.
It would be a deal that preserves the country’s right to enrich uranium, but strengthens the controls against enrichment to weapons grade (90 percent). As with the question of releasing political prisoners, however, Rouhani must first get the assent of the Supreme Guide, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Khamenei, as the head of the theocratic side of the government, has the power to veto everything. On the other hand, he also wants to preserve this strange two-headed beast called the Iranian revolution, and he knows that if it does not retain popular consent it will eventually die. Western sanctions are bringing the Iranian econ-omy to its knees, and people are really hurting. So maybe Khamenei will let Rouhani and his backers save him.

Kaslo residents are being warned of another closure to the emergency department of their health centre due to a shortage of doctors.
Victorian Community Health Centre’s emergency department will be closed overnight from 5 p.m. on June 24 until 8 a.m. the following
morning and again on June 27 from 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. the following morning.
The emergency department will also be closed over the Canada Day long weekend.
Interior Health’s Cheryl Whittleton, who handles commun-ity integrated health services for the Kootenay Boundary, explains
closures to the Kaslo facility are happening because the community is short a half-time doctor in that community.
“We understand the frustration the community feels,” she says. “We don’t want to see disruptions in service.”
Currently, there is a half-time doctor on contract in Kaslo along
with two additional physicians pro-viding regular locum coverage.
“We try get locum coverage to fill the vacancy but over summer every community without doctors is try-ing to recruit locums too,” she says.
She says Interior Health con-tinues to actively recruit for perma-nent and locum physicians with local help.

Trail Eagles pitcher Brad Ross brings the heat as Lucas Miracle takes a big cut, and Kai Birks hustles into second base. The Eagles won the Little League Major championship on Sunday at Andy Bilesky with a 9-1 victory over Nelson.
Eagles fly over Angels for Little League titleB Y J I M B A I L E Y
Times Sports EditorThe word dynasty can’t help
but pop up when talking about Little League Major’s Trail Eagles.
The Eagles soared to their fourth Little League Major title in a row on Sunday at Andy Bilesky Park, defeating the Nelson Angels handily in the final match.
The Eagles went undefeated in the round robin with vic-tories over Grand Forks and Nelson to get a bye into the final where they would bring the Angels down to earth with a 9-1 drubbing.
“As a young team, our kids all stepped up and everybody played awesome,” said coach D.J. Ashman.
The Nelson squad may have used up all its resources as they narrowly beat out a tough Beaver Valley team 12-10 in the semifinal earlier Sunday, before facing the defending champion Eagles in the final
match. Despite the Eagles past
success, this year’s result was a little surprising for Eagles coach Ashman who had just one player returning from last year, and three 10-year-old minor-age players filling out the young lineup.
“From the beginning of the year I didn’t know what to expect,” said Ashman. “I mean for 13 kids to come together and play as good as we did was awesome.”
The Eagles didn’t waste any time getting on the board as they jumped out to a 3-0 first-inning lead, on the strength of a Riley McKinnon double that scored Jordan Sheets and Brad Ross. Kai Birks then stepped up and drove in McKinnon giv-ing the Eagles’ starting pitcher Ross a nice three-run cushion to work with.
And the veteran right-hander didn’t disappoint as he struck out four over two innings, before passing the ball
to 10-year-old rookie sensation Lucas Miracle.
Nelson threatened in the fourth inning, but a great relay from left field to home plate snuffed out the Angel rally.
The Eagles would score another in the fourth before Nate Ingram slapped a double to left field in the top of five to plate the fifth and sixth runs.
Miracle continued to cruise with the only blemish coming in the fifth when the Angels would piece together a double and a single to score their only run of the game.
Leading 6-1 in the top of six, Sheets laid down a perfect bunt that netted him a triple, and would later score on a double from Marty Ingram.
Ross would ice it with a two-run bomb to straight away centre field. He then reclaimed the mound and closed the game for the Eagles, striking out the final two batters for yet another Little League Major title for Trail.
SWIMMING
New coach for winter clubB Y J I M B A I L E Y
Times Sports EditorThe Trail Winter Swim Club is
prepping for another big meet this weekend with a new head coach at the helm, at least for the summer.
Andrea Wyers is an Ontario native and grew up swimming for a winter club before moving to Trail at age 15. She is cur-rently a McGill University student working at Teck for the summer and fell into the position while training with the TWSC to fill the coaching vacancy left by former coach Cody Flegel.
“It’s a little intimidat-ing,” said Wyers. “Obviously Cody was a really talented swimmer and did great things with them. I don’t want to mess anything up, but I do have a pretty good background in swimming so I’ll do whatever I can to make sure they (the swim-mers) reach their full potential.”
Wyers swam with the Trail Stingrays Swim Club and the high school team before heading to uni-versity in Montreal. The 20-year-old sustainability and econom-ics student also helped coach the Stingrays in 2009, and is a lifeguard while studying at McGill.
“I’ve always been a swimmer,” said Wyers who is already impressed with the competitors in the Greater Trail Swim Club.
“They are great. They’re so motivated. I coached and swam
with most of them with the Stingrays and I mean they are all four or five years older now, but they are all a really motivated and tal-ented group of swimmers.”
Following a terrific showing at the Kamloops meet last month, the team will look for similar results at the Summer Solstice swim meet in Spokane this weekend.
“We had some really great swims, a lot of best times, a lot of kids who consistently were getting best times, which is always great to see. They are at that age where they are growing, even between prelim and finals, they have a nap and grow two centi-metres,” said Wyers.
The TWSC consists of the the competitive Greater Trail Swim Club, the triathlete program and the Mastery of Swimming program for adult swimmers looking to hone their skills, and get an introduction to competitive swimming.

Diamondbacks con-tinue their winning ways after taking a pair of games from Pullman on Monday.
The Diamondbacks survived a close 12-10 tilt in the first match before bomb-ing Pullman 9-2 in the second rain-shortened game. The double-A Dbacks counted their sixth win in a row in American Legion AA Baseball and sit on top of the Federal Division with a 6-0 record.
Luke Thatcher had a great game behind and at the plate, knocking out a pair of doubles and helping Sean Bartha get the win on the mound.
The Diamondbacks play Medical Lake Saturday at 1 and 3:30 p.m. and return home Sunday for 1 and 3:30 p.m. double bill at Butler Park. Medical
Lake sits two games back of the Dbacks in the Federal Division with a 6-4 record, but are currently in a three-game losing streak.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SBOSTON - Injured Bruins forward
Gregory Campbell limped up to the podium, the very picture of Boston Strong.
Campbell has become part of hock-ey lore since breaking his leg blocking a shot while killing a penalty against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern final - and then finishing his shift. While Campbell downplays his heroics, coach Claude Julien says he epitomizes the blue-collar Bruins.
Campbell, who is on crutches after surgery June 10 to repair a broken right fibula, downplayed all of that when he met the media Tuesday at TD Garden. Asked about the legendary Bobby Baun, he said there was no comparison.
“I don’t put myself in his category,” Campbell said.
Baun scored the overtime winner for Toronto in Game 6 of the 1964 Stanley Cup final against Detroit despite breaking his foot midway through the third period
after being hit by a Gordie Howe shot.“I respect fully that feat of his,”
Campbell said. “And mine was nowhere near that,. But it just goes to show you how tough you have to be to play in this league. There’s 700, 800 players that are tough like that and play through things every day.”
But as Boston readies for Game 4 tonight, coach Claude Julien says Campbell epitomizes what the Bruins are all about: a blue-collar team that appreciates stars
and role players alike.“That’s how we’ve always
been,” he said.With respect, Campbell
refused to be singled out.“Again, I’m not going to
put myself in front of anybody else and say I’m the picture of the Bruins. This Original Six organization has gone back a long way,” said the 29-year-old from London, Ont. “It kind of represents the city, a blue-collar hard-working city with honest people.
“So when I got traded to Boston, I thought it was tailor-made to my game the way this team exemplifies the heart and soul of what a hockey player should be made of. I was proud to come to this team and play hard for this team every night.There’s 18 other guys in that room that would do the same thing, and that’s what makes us successful, and makes us a hard team to play against. I’d rather be known for my play other than getting hurt.”
A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SANAHEIM -- An
already thin Mariners roster took another hit Monday when outfielder Jason Bay was held out of the series opener against the Angels with a sore hamstring muscle.
The Trail native normally would have been in the lineup against the left-hand-
ed Jason Vargas, but Raul Ibanez instead got the call after the 34-year-old Bay felt his hamstring tighten up during Sunday’s game in Oakland.
“He got a little knot in there,” manager Eric Wedge told a mlb.com reporter.
“We got him out here early and tried to have him run a lit-tle bit, but we talked about it and felt we’d be putting him in harm’s way.”
Wedge is already operating with Michael Morse playing first base while still hampered by a sore right quadriceps and Kendrys Morales lim-ited strictly to desig-nated hitter duties by a sore back.
Justin Smoak is eli-
gible to return from the 15-day disabled list as he continues a Minor League rehab stint with Triple-A Tacoma due to a strained oblique, but the first baseman went 0-for-4 on Sunday and is hitting .188 (3-for-16) in four games with the Rainiers.
General man-ager Jack Zduriencik is with the Rainiers in Sacramento and planned to watch Smoak play again Monday night before the club talked further about whether he’s ready to return.
Bay meanwhile has seen ample playing time this year, and is hitting .222 with eight home runs and three stolen bases in 53 games.

Leisure
Dear Annie: My sweet, kind 33-year-old college-educated husband has regressed into a teenager. He has always been a marijua-na user, but a year ago, he befriended “Jake,” and now the two of them smoke marijuana daily. They spend their evenings riding skate-boards, playing video games and hanging out with college kids.
I would like to buy a house, have children and further my educa-tion. My husband says he wants the same things, but he always has an excuse for not saving money. We both have good jobs, and he promises to start put-ting money aside “next month.” It never hap-pens. I know he won’t give up pot. He says he will get divorced before he quits smoking mari-juana, and I knew that before we married.
Am I wrong to put my foot down and expect him to grow up? Or do I need to lighten up and let him have his
fun? -- Feeling Like My Husband’s Mother
Dear Feeling: You and your husband do not have compatible goals. He wants to be an irresponsible child while you do all the work. And so far, you have gone along with that. Maybe he’s afraid to grow up, maybe he’s too addicted to pot, maybe he’s simply a Peter Pan.
Ask him to come with you for counseling so the two of you can work on a more equita-ble partnership. If he is unwilling or if nothing changes, there is no future here unless you want to spend the next several years mother-ing this grownup child.
It’s a painful lesson to learn that love isn’t always enough to turn someone into marriage material.
Dear Annie: My friend’s son married a lovely young woman whose only brother died a few years ago. The wife kept her maid-en name after marriage for professional rea-sons.
The couple is expect-ing their first child, and the wife would like to name the boy after her deceased brother, giv-ing him her last name. Her reasoning is that it would ensure that her family name is car-ried on. Her husband has male cousins who can carry on the family name, but she doesn’t.
My friend is in shock. If her son agrees to this irrational request, she believes her family name stops there. In her mind, cousins do not count in carrying on one’s lineage. However, she doesn’t want to cause a family rift by openly
and strongly opposing this possibility. Do you have any suggestions for her? -- Friend of the Family
Dear Friend: This is completely up to the couple, and your friend should try to stay out of it. Frankly, the wife has the stronger claim for carrying on a family name. It’s also possible that the couple will have other sons. And plenty of women object to the old-fashioned (and sexist) notion that only the boys count when it comes to lin-eage. We know your friend is hurt and dis-appointed, but if she wants a relationship with her son, his wife and their child, she needs to put this aside.
Dear Annie: I shared the same frustration as “Troubled in High School,” the 16-year-old girl who can only think about boys, drugs, alcohol, dating and grades. She wants her life to be exciting.
I’d like to suggest she try participating in
her school’s communi-ty service club. I was a member of my school’s “Key Club,” which is sponsored by the Kiwanis organization. It gave me the opportu-nity to focus on things outside of myself and my desires as a teen-ager and allowed me
to put my energy into doing good.
My friends who did drugs respected me enough to never offer me drugs. I hated that my parents were so strict, but now that I’m almost 30, I can appre-ciate that they molded me into an indepen-
dent person who is confident in leading instead of following. There is nothing wrong with being a perfect little angel. I’m proud of that reputation. -- Happy in Hawaii
