Although the province has remained steadfast on a net zero negotiating policy for government worker contracts, the City of Trail is more compassionate.

The municipal government has handed over a new contract to its workers, giving them at least a cost of living increase of two per cent for the next three years.

On Friday it was announced the city and the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 2087—serving approximately 100

full and part-time unionized city workers—agreed on a three-year deal, replacing the previous con-tract that expired in February.

The new agreement provides annual pay increases of two per cent per year for each year of the contract, including “benefit enhancements and changes in contract language that provide greater clarification and cer-tainty for both the city and the union moving forward,” said city chief administrative officer David Perehudoff.

City, union get deal

The city’s cash cup runneth over, but you won’t be receiving a cheque in the mail.

An independent audit of city finances has shown the City of Trail sitting pretty with a $1.5 million surplus, according to 2011 aud-ited financial state-ments done by Craig Teindl of L. Soligos and Associates.

The city was able to bring in more and spend less in the last fis-cal year, putting it in a spot where it now has some spare cash to kick around.

But it won’t be kick-ing the cash back to taxpayers, or handing out a tax cut, said council-lor Kevin Jolly, the chair of the city’s general government and finance committee.

Instead, the city will be moving ahead with a few projects—including the Gateway phase of the Downtown Improvement Plan—and creating a rainy day fund.

The city does operate on a budget of conservatism and budgets for potential expenditures that could jeopardize the plan, but it often does not work out that way, he said.

“It’s not common, in my opin-ion, that you should have a signifi-cant surplus all of the time, but we

have one this year,” he said. “(The money) will get re-invested in the city’s operations. The city is in a pos-ition now that we can afford to do more because we had a decent year last year.”

This isn’t the first time the city has come out on the plus side of the ledger. In fact, the City of Trail

has been able to more than balance the books for several years now, said city chief admin-istrative officer David Perehudoff, but this is the largest one in sev-eral years.

“We try to budget in such a way that we break even, but in this case we are better in a

number of areas so we generated a larger surplus than typical,” he said.

Although the city budgets to break even, in this case the city did bet-ter in a number of areas—including acceleration of the Small Community Grants payments from the provincial government, meaning cash from pre-vious years was deferred to 2011.

The glowing financial picture is even brighter if audit practices of three years ago were applied, leaving out depreciation and amortization of city assets. Three years ago the current $1.66 million increase in net financial assets would show the city with a total surplus of $2.7 million.

Attention US citizens and dual citizenship residents living in Canada and having not filed US tax returns. The

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States has recently announced an amnesty on tax filings.

In 2011 the IRS announced its plan to request of Canadian banks and other financial institu-tions information on US citizens holding assets in Canada. This is clearly an attempt to prevent US cit-izens from hiding taxable revenue.

Despite the uproar by taxpayers, lobby-ing by Canada’s financial institutions and diplomacy by Canada’s federal govern-ment, the US government has remained entrenched in its battle to get its share of taxes. Until last week, the best this concerted effort coming from Canada had succeeded in doing was to delay the implementation of the plan to 2014.

As an aside, and to be fair to the US, quickly and quietly the mantra of most developed countries has become, “we want our share of our citizens’ income taxes”.

What is the tax implication of this IRS plan?

A release this week from Chartered Financial Consultant Tim Affolter with the Affolter Financial Group, states, “... it has been my experience that the great majority of US cit-izens living in Canada usu-ally do not actually owe addi-tional US tax … due to the exemptions available under the tax treaty between our two countries such that the tax paid in Canada is gener-ally enough to satisfy the US

tax payable as well.” Affolter goes on to say, “Along with

the actual tax returns, there are certain “information” returns required such as the listing of foreign bank accounts and elections such as the treatment of RRSPs as tax-deferred retirement plans. Failing to file [information returns] before the deadline each year … carries onerous automatic late filing penalties which could run into the thousands, or even tens of thousands, of dollars. This cre-ates a substantial disincentive to “catch up” for a US citizen who is currently non-compliant. Needless to say, then, the

automatic disclosure to the IRS of a US citizen’s foreign bank holdings in 2014 will put them in a very scary situation.”

The “disincentive to file” reality appears to have reached the common sense branch of the IRS as it has just announced an amnesty for US or dual citizens living abroad who owe under $1,500 of US tax per year.

In these cases, the IRS states that, “… [tax return] review will be expedited and the IRS will not assert penalties or pursue follow-up actions.” In addition, on the late election to treat an RRSP as a tax-deferred retirement plan, the IRS states there will be “ … retroactive relief for failure to timely elect income deferral [on Canadian RRSP plans].”

These adjustments to the IRS tax-ation plan should give relief for most non-compliant US citizens living abroad. However, this amnesty will likely not be in effect indefinitely so it is best to act sooner than later. The revamped plan can be found by following the links at www.irs.gov

THE CANADIAN PRESSKRESTOVA, B.C. - Residents of

the Slocan Valley town of Krestova want pulp mill waste that’s been trucked onto three properties to be removed over fears their ground water could be contaminated.

The Zellstoff Celgar pulp mill in neighbouring Castlegar is offering the so-called bio solids, which are created from wood waste, for free as a type of fertilizer that would otherwise be burned.

“I feel we’re just being used as a dump site,” said Nick Kootnikoff, whose well supplies water for eight properties and is within the 30-metre legal limit of an acreage containing the waste.

“If I knew what was in there I’d feel more comfortable, but from what I’ve heard it has sew-age sludge in it,” he said. “I’m uncomfortable with sludge that has human waste in it.”

“We want it removed,” said Alan Anton, who lives a few hous-

es down from one property where the waste has gone.

“There is a community hall and day care centre downhill of this field.

“If our water got contaminated that is our only water source and we’re hooped for 25 years.”

Anton said there are three properties containing bio solids in the community of 150 people that was settled by Doukhobors and is about 20 kilometres from Nelson.

Jim McLaren, a retired Celgar employee who now arranges the distribution of bio solids for the company, said the material con-tains mainly wood fibres, mixed with 40 per cent surplus bacteria, which aid in breaking down the wood fibres, and 10 per cent lime, grit, gravel and waste water.

McLaren said waste water from the sewage treatment plant is deposited on piles of bio sol-ids and it’s so safe that it’s also dumped in the Columbia River.

He said Celgar delivers the fer-tilizer-like bio solids to property owners after a lengthy applica-tion process with the Environment Ministry.

“We don’t think there is a bio-logical risk to this material,” said McLaren, who doesn’t recom-mend people use the bio solids on land where food is grown.

He said 33 other properties in the Kootenay area contain the bio waste and that 27 applications for the material are pending with the Environment Ministry.

Krestova resident Joyce Van Bynen, who had 200 tonnes of bio solids applied to two acres in May, is sold on the product and said it helped revive her horse pasture within a short time.

The soil in the town is mainly sandy with little moisture reten-tion and grows nothing but knap-weed in the pastures. Van Bynen said that within two months of spreading the bio solids and grass

seed, she has about 10 centimetres of lush grass for her horses to eat.

“There is nothing but good from this product. It’s been tested seven ways from Sunday and has been proven to enhance the soil,” said Van Bynen, who also works for Celgar, as an environmental technologist.

The bio solids are within six metres of her well and Van Bynen said she drinks from the same aquifer as the rest of the com-munity.

“I am quite confident with what is in this material and that it is benign,” she said, adding the bio solids have also been dumped on another property two kilometres from her own.

Before the bio solids are applied, the Environment Ministry requires Celgar to test the land and the bio solids for moisture content, trace metals such as arsenic, lead and mercury. It also tests for patho-gens.

Chris Stroich of the Environment Ministry said there is no sewage sludge in the Celgar bio solids.

Trace metal values for bio sol-ids delivered to Krestova “have been well below that specified in the ministry’s (Soil Amendment Code of Practice),” he said in an email.

However, Walter Popoff, regional director of Area H for the central Kootenay district, said “Krestova residents are right to be concerned. Basically, the residents are concerned for their health.”

The (Environment Ministry) tests that are done, in their opin-ion, are not sufficient enough to make them feel safe,“ he said. ”If this was being done beside me, this would be my concern also and I would want reassurance.“

“No amount (of bio solids) is safe as far as I’m concerned,” Kootnikoff said. “If it is so safe, why doesn’t Celgar bag and sell it?”

FROM PAGE 1The move to offer the increas-

es were viewed as “fair for both parties” and was within the city’s current cost structure, said Mayor Dieter Bogs.

“The new contract ensures cost stability enabling the

ongoing provision of high level service without taxpayers seeing a significant change to property taxes,” he said in a release.

The contract was formally ratified by a vote of 79 per cent on Thursday, one day after the CUPE bargaining committee

and city representatives signed a memorandum of agreement on Wednesday.

CUPE President Jean Poole said she was pleased the union was successful in securing job security for current full-time permanent employees.

New contract won’t hit taxpayers hard

FROM PAGE 1“What this means at the end of

the day is the city is in a very, very healthy position,” said Teindl.

In the city’s current year they had total amortization of assets of $3.3 million.

The audit gives an overall picture of how the city is running, looking at the city’s consolidated revenue by taking into account general oper-ations, water and sewer operations, staff and capital funds, marrying it all together into one statement.

The city had consolidated rev-enues of $19,128,549, around $1.8 million over budget for the year. On the other hand, consolidated expenditures were $17,606,440, approximately $3.21 million less than what the city had budgeted

for.Looking deeper, if the city took all

of its net financial assets—including cash receivables—and turned them into cash and paid off all of its bills (including long-term debt) it would end up with $2.7 million left over.

The equation does not include tangible capital assets and non-financial assets, said Teindl.

“So this means is the city is in a real liquid financial situation and that’s very, very good,” he said.

The city’s tangible capital assets are at $82.5 million. These are the assets the city physically owns, not financed by debt or lease.

“Because of the age of some of its infrastructure, some of the assets are completely depreciated and others aren’t,” said Teindl.

You had better not keep the home fires burning for the next few months.

Despite all of the wet weather that has soaked the landscape of the West Kootenay, a recent spate of extreme hot weather has the Southeast Fire Centre raising the alarm.

As of Friday all open fires are prohibited within the Southeast

Fire Centre—that includes the lands around Trail—to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.

The prohibition could last for over two months, according to fire information officer Karlie Shaughnessy.

“This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the bound-aries of local govern-

ments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department,” she said.

The prohibition includes the burning of any waste, slash or other material, the burning of stubble or grass, and the use of fireworks or burning barrels of any size.

The prohibition does not include campfires, gas or propane cooking stoves or briquettes.

THE CANADIAN PRESSVERNON, B.C. -

Moments after tak-ing off into the bright, sunny skies of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, a small twin engine plane clipped two trees and slammed into a sports field, kill-ing the two people onboard Saturday, say witnesses to the tra-gedy.

“I heard this explo-sion, looked over to see this aircraft burst into flames,” said Gord Molendyk, a spokes-man for the Vernon North Okanagan RCMP, who was in the area at the time

“There was fire, along the ground, right up to the aircraft.”

Molendyk was sup-posed to be attending a wedding nearby early Saturday afternoon when he saw the after-math of the accident.

He said the plane took off from the air-port, hit the tops of two trees that were no more than eight metres

high and flew over the edge of the field, before slamming into the ground and burst-ing into flames.

Molendyk said nobody on the ground was hurt.

The RCMP said in a release late Saturday night that the pilot was from Kelowna and that he was 59 years old. His passenger was described only as

being 55 years old and from the Port Moody area. No names were released.

Bill Wilkie, vice-president of the Vernon Flying Club, was flying at the time of the crash and witnessed the aftermath of the tra-gedy from high above the scene.

“All I saw was this big plume of black smoke going up, oh, probably 500 feet and big, you know, flames at the bottom, bright yellow flames at the bottom,” he said. “So you couldn’t tell where the flames were com-ing from.”

The victims, who had just filled up their aircraft with gas, weren’t members of the local flying club, said Wilkie, noting he doesn’t believe they were associated with skydivers who were in the area, either.

There was also no word on Saturday

about where the plane had been headed.

Wilkie said he had to fly over the scene a second time before he could tell that a plane had crashed, and he suspects an engine may have failed.

“I suspect that it all happened so quickly for those fellows that they wouldn’t know, they wouldn’t have chance to respond, do anything, they’d just kind of grit their teeth and that’s it,” he said.

Emergency person-nel were able to put out the fire but the two people aboard the air-craft died at the scene, Molendyk said.

The weather at the time of the crash was sunny and dry, he said.

The wreckage of the aircraft has been removed from the crash site and police are ask-ing anyone who may have seen or heard the crash to contact them.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. - A fire infor-mation officer says haze from wildfires in the United States has made its way north and is now hanging over communities in southern British Columbia.

The U.S. National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho, has reported that dozens of fires were burning earlier last week in nine western states, destroying 600 homes and killing six people.

B.C. fire information officer

Fionna Tollovsen says the prov-ince’s Wildfire Management Branch has been receiving reports of haze from Kamloops, Merritt, Lillooet, Vancouver Island and even the Cariboo region.

She says a plane flew over areas between Williams Lake, Gold Bridge and Lillooet to ensure no wildfires were burning.

Tollovsen says officials then looked at satellite imagery and confirmed the source of the smoke.

This year is shap-ing up to be a record year for sockeye sal-mon returning to the Okanagan river system, but numbers are not

going to be as high as they might have been.

“If it was the same production that we saw in previous years, we would be seeing probably more than a million sockeye com-

THE CANADIAN PRESSOTTAWA - A blitz

by Canada Revenue Agency auditors on an unfortunate group of waiters and waitresses in one Ontario com-munity has exposed “very surprising” amounts of unreported tips and gratuities.

The pilot project tar-geted 145 servers work-ing in just four restau-rants in St. Catharines, Ont., a blue-collar city on the Niagara Peninsula, south of Toronto.

Auditors reviewed two years’ worth of income and found that every individual had hidden some portion of their tips from the tax-man, with about half reporting no tips what-soever.

In the end, the blitz flushed out $1.7 mil-lion in unreported tips and gratuities - almost $12,000 for each per-son.

“Industry insiders often tell servers that they only need to report 10 per cent of their ... wages as tip income,” says an internal report on the project.

“Our results indicate that tips are more like-ly to be 100 per cent to 200 per cent of ... wages. In essence, they

are only reporting five per cent to 10 per cent of earned tips/gratuit-ies.”

The auditors con-clude: “The amount of unreported income was very surprising.”

The Canadian Press obtained a heavily cen-sored copy of the 2010 report under the Access to Information Act, after an 18-month delay by

the Canada Revenue Agency that violated legislated deadlines.

The St. Catharines’ blitz was among dozens of pilot projects across the country that tar-geted the underground economy, estimated to be worth as much as $36 billion in 2008, according to a Statistics Canada study prepared for the revenue agency.

THE CANADIAN PRESSGRANDE PRAIRIE,

Alta. - Paleontologists were thrilled when they found the fos-silized remains of a duck-billed dinosaur in northwestern Alberta last month.

But joy turned quick-ly to despair when they returned to the site near the Red Willow River a few days ago and found that van-dals had smashed the Hadrosaur skeleton to pieces.

The Pipestone Creek Dinosaur Initiative says the fossil was discovered by paleon-tologist Phil Bell and

a University of Alberta team on June 15.

They partially pre-pared it for removal, then reburied it for pro-tection until it could be fully removed later this month.

Bell returned to the site on Thursday and found the specimen - which was about one meter long and 80 centimetres wide - had been destroyed.

“We still know very little about the dino-saurs that existed up here so every skeleton is crucial,” Bell said in a statement.

“Each bone is irreplaceable.”

RCMP say they are investigating but don’t have any suspects. They say a number of fossils had either been removed or destroyed at the site.

The group says it is at least the fourth act of fossil poaching and vandalism in the region in the last month and a half.

At Pipestone Creek Park in the region, a bone bed has been harmed, and in late May, a Plexiglas cover protecting and show-casing several fossilized bones was smashed.

In later incidents in June, a vertebra and

several rib bones were stolen.

The group says the University of Alberta and the Royal Tyrell Museum are also help-ing in the case.

The group says it is illegal to alter, mark or damage palaeonto-logical resources under the Historical Resources Act. Offenders may face up to $40,000 in fines or a year in prison.

HAPPY VALLEY-GOOSE BAY, N.L. - Newfoundland and Labrador was hit with a 4.4 magnitude earth-quake Sunday mor-ning.

A seismologist with Natural Resources Canada says the magni-tude isn’t large enough to cause destruction, but it is significantly more than most earth-quakes in the region.

He says the earth-quake hit around 8:13 a.m. local time along the Quebec-Labrador border, just south of Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

Natural Resources Canada says the last time an earthquake of this size hit the prov-ince was 50 years ago.

OPINION

The slow demise of green alarmismUniversity of The

recent Rio+20 conference on s u s t a i n a b l e

development, which ended in, according to one par-ticipant, “epic failure,” did produce one bit of good news. It is now easier for governments to ignore the whole thing.

The original Rio Earth Summit document claimed that fossil-fuel-induced global warming would end human civilization. It led to a number of treaties, dec-larations and agreements, including the now-repudi-ated Kyoto Protocol.

With Rio+20, global warming was replaced with what Financial Post col-umnist Terence Corcoran called “ideologically toxic material” typical of “UN proceduralism.”

Not everyone saw it as good news, however. It was a Greenpeace spokes-person who lamented the “epic failure” of the con-ference. And even before it opened, Francis Kissing and Peter Singer criti-cized the Brazilians in the Washington Post for serv-ing organic foods, includ-ing meat. Apparently UN delegates are partial to osso buco. The authors were

appalled because cattle raised organically produce more methane than “their less-well-treated brothers and sisters.” The solution, as Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change chair-man Rajendra Pachauri has long advocated, is vegetar-ianism.

To date, alas, only the EU has tried to set a quota for gas emissions from flatulent, belching cows. Someone should draw this grave matter to the atten-tion of NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair, so the next time he opens his mouth about Alberta, he can insult the cattle industry, too.

In contrast to such silli-ness, Peter Kent, Canada’s Environment minister, announced that the gov-ernment was “very happy, very satisfied” with the final document produced at the conference, chiefly because of “what’s not in it.” Specifically, he said, there are no “unrealistic, inappropriate binding com-mitments” to “instant con-fections.” In fact, real news from South America focused more on the impeachment of the president of Paraguay than saving the world.

The main reason for this stunning return to common

sense is that greenie alarm-ism has become boring and passe. Worse for the alarm-ists, the evidence has tipped decisively against them.

Remember that iconic and touching picture of polar bears apparently stranded on an iceberg? They were disappearing because Arctic ice was melting. But since 2007, low levels of ice cover have rebounded to a 30-year average, and according to Dirkus Gissing, director of wildlife management for Nunavut, at around 25,000 head, northerners are enjoying the highest polar bear population ever.

We also know, as Australian paleoclimatolo-gist Bob Carter pointed out to audiences across the country in May, that cli-

mate change takes place on geological time scales, not decades. Thus, the instru-mental temperature record, which is little over a half-century old, is incapable of indicating any measurable trend.

The word has also leaked out that computer models rest on assumptions that are simply untenable. Ross McKitrick, who helped expose the famous hockey-stick fraud that purported to show an amazing rise in global temperatures over the past few decades, has shown in a series of papers that climate data provide as useful an explanation of temperature fluctuations as a random numbers table. That is: none. Likewise, Henrik Svensmark, a physicist at the Centre for Sun-Climate Research in Denmark, has added to his work showing that various sunspot cycles influence global temperatures and offers compelling argu-ments that exploding stars have the same effect.

Canadians have also con-nected the political dots: U.S.-based charities fund B.C.-based environmental-ists. This has nothing to do with the malarkey about helping a spirit bear, what-

ever that is, or fishing in the rainforest, to say nothing about preserving the ways of Indians in the Chilcotin. It’s all about preventing Alberta oil from reaching any market but the U.S., which means cheaper fuel for Americans.

All this evidence has pro-duced recantations. Most famously, James Lovelock years ago predicted that global warming would mean that “billions of us would die” and a few “breeding pairs” would survive only in the Arctic – presumably to be hunted by polar bears. Last April, he admitted he was wrong and offered an insightful observation: “the green religion is now taking over the Christian religion.”

This explains why the Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado Mountain above Rio was bathed in green light for the duration of Rio+20. Christopher Monckton said it looked “like a giant jelly bean.”

What a perfect end to two decades of nonsense: misguided alarmism over organic osso buco has turned into a green jelly bean farce.

A letter was pub-lished recently rais-ing questions about FortisBC’s residential electricity rates. I am writing today to pro-vide some information on FortisBC’s new resi-dential conservation rate.

On July 1, FortisBC introduced a new resi-dential conservation rate for its electricity customers. This means customers are being charged a rate that is lower than the old flat rate for the first block of electricity they use

in a billing period and a higher rate for any electricity used above that amount.

FortisBC was direct-ed by the BC Utilities Commission to apply for and implement this type of rate because it is designed to encour-age conservation and to incent customers to use less electricity.

This new rate struc-ture applies to FortisBC residential electric-ity customers, and a majority of our custom-ers, about 75 per cent, including about 40 per

cent of electric heat users, will actually see a decrease on their bills because of this new rate structure. The residen-tial conservation rate is revenue neutral, mean-ing FortisBC will collect the same amount of revenue as it did under the old flat rate.

While a residential conservation rate is new for FortisBC electric-ity customers, this type of rate is used by BC Hydro in areas where natural gas is provided by FortisBC or Pacific Northern Gas.

For people with elec-tricity as their primary heat source, FortisBC has created a new program to help with electricity use called Reduce Your Use. I’d ask that anyone inter-ested in learning more about this program, please visit fortisbc.com/reduce your use or if you would like to learn more about the residential conserva-tion rate, visit fortisbc.com/rcr.

An editorial from the Prince George Citizen

Not so long ago, a parent publicly administering a healthy swat on their child was met with nods of approval from witness-ing adults.

Parenting needed to be done with a firm hand and it served so many functions. It was a punishment for misbehaviour while also a deterrent for future misdeeds. A well-placed smack also reminded children of who held the power in the family. Parenting is not a democracy and respect should be born from fear, not admiration.

Fists, open hands, belts, rul-ers, soup ladles, books and boots were all suitable equipment to deliver parenting justice on a child that needed to be brought in line. Not just parents but teachers and priests were also not just allowed, but encour-aged, to dish out physical pun-ishment as part of good child rearing.

A couple of generations later and a parent seen yelling at their child in a public place is met with glares, not against the child but the parent. And if that par-ent has the audacity to apply an open hand to their child’s back-side in public, someone might call the cops.

The changing view of spank-ing is part of the broader evolu-tion of childhood. Childhood, as we know it today, didn’t exist until the 20th century.

For most of recorded histo-ry, children were non-entities in society, with no unique cul-ture of their own. Unless they belonged to the ruling class, children in most world cultures

were put to work as soon as pos-sible and educated only to the extent that they needed to be to do a good job.

Even in the Victorian era and the early 20th century, children were seen as adults in training. Escaping childhood as quickly as possible was socially desirable and “behaving like a child” was an insult with bite.

As the industrial revolution developed and the bulk of the population moved to cities, childhood started to take shape. Rather than taught to take over farming the family plot or become a farmer’s wife, children had to be educated for longer to work in an increasingly tech-nological economy that now needed engineers, accountants, lawyers and bankers.

The rise of consumerism was the single biggest contributor to the modern concept of child-hood.

Children once played with whatever was lying around the house and these were their toys. Consumerism allowed parents to set aside specific items and call them toys. Once kids had their own things, then they had their own rooms, their own identi-ties and the culture of childhood rapidly developed.

In a society that now reveres children and childhood, mild physical punishment of children is still legal in Canada but now there is now a study that shows spanking can be linked with mental disorders in adults. The authors of the study were quick to stress that this is no necessar-ily a causal relationship.

The question that researchers asked were what long-term harm

comes from spanking, reflecting the now-commonly held view of spanking. If they had asked what good comes from spanking and found that mild and irregu-lar spanking helps kids become responsible adults, their study would likely be rejected as non-sense.

There is nothing conclu-sive on either side to show that spanking is good or bad, or no spanking is good or bad. Some say the problem with kids today could be solved if they tasted the back of mom and dad’s hand a little (or a lot) more often while others say it’s that taste that is the cause of so many personal problems today.

The advice many parents now give (and get) about spank-ing boils down to “don’t spank them when you’re angry.” That advice is shorthand for “don’t hit your kids at all” because only a sadist would strike a child for reasons other than anger. Once you’re calm about the situation, it’s best to use what happened as a teaching experience.

Hitting your child only dem-onstrates that you can’t control your own emotions and you need to hit someone or some-thing when things don’t go your way.

The rise of individual rights in Canada and the U.S. keeps the rights of parents, as adults, to discipline their children in the way they believe is best, unless that spanking is abusive.

Instead of worrying about when spanking becomes abuse, it’s best to just get rid of spank-ing all together, not out of rever-ence for children, but because it’s bad behavior for adults.

OBITUARIES

THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO - SGT. PAUL MACGREGOR, CFSTG IMAGERY

Col. Tammy Harris is the new base commander of CFB Borden, Canada’s largest military training base.

THE CANADIAN PRESSCol. Tammy Harris never

felt that being a woman held her back when it came to mov-ing up the ranks in the mil-itary.

Now, that attitude appears to have paid off as Harris was sworn in as the first female base commander at CFB Borden on Friday, assuming responsibility for Canada’s lar-gest training base.

“I can honestly say, through-out my career, that I’ve never experienced any barriers because I’ve been a woman,” she said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

“I’ve always been able to do what I’ve wanted to do based on my own skills and abilities, and the challenges that I’ve put on myself.”

Her career has taken her to Germany, Afghanistan and a number of Canadian prov-inces, and throughout Harris said she always felt free to pursue any goals she set for herself.

The base she now holds command over - located about 100 kilometres north of Toronto - trains an aver-age of 15,000 military person-nel each year. It also employs about 3,250 members of the military and around 1,500 civilians.

As she takes command, the 45-year-old emphasizes that accomplishments aren’t about being male or female. Drive and passion are what get people where they want to go, in her view.

“Whatever your goals are, the opportunity is there to achieve them if you so desire,”

she said. “Gender does not really play into the equation.”

This isn’t the first major appointment for Harris. She was also the first woman in the country to hold the position of wing commander in Gander, N.L., one of the country’s busi-est search and rescue areas.

Her goals in her new post include continuing on with the Forces’ efforts to pro-mote bilingualism, so that all courses in the military can be offered in both French and English.

Harris also wants to focus on the infrastructure at CFB Borden during her two year tenure at the base, to be sure it’s adequate for future mem-bers of the military.

The stepmother of three daughters also said she wants to modernize the training practices in place now, so that new recruits can spend as much time with their families as possible while still learn-ing what it means to be in the military.

The native of Annapolis Valley, N.S., started with the military in 1987.

It wasn’t for another two years that women were given the right to take part in com-bat. Harris was in Europe at the time, but she said anything that grants women choice is a good thing.

However, despite the fact that the military is still a male-dominated field made up of only about 15 per cent women, Harris said it’s not necessarily one of her priorities to specif-ically recruit young women.

Instead, she wants to focus on making the military appeal

to all.“It’s a goal of mine to make

sure that everybody under-stands the opportunity, wheth-er they be male or female, so they know the types of things you can do in the Canadian Forces,” she said.

“Do I go out and specif-ically recruit young women? No. I make sure the message is the same to the youth of Canada.”

Asked if she’s a feminist, Harris said she wouldn’t use

the word to describe herself. But she added that she’s “an advocate for women having the choice” and thinks more young women’s stories need to be told.

“I would describe myself as someone who always looks for the positive in any situation, someone who thinks that your limitations are put on by your-self,” she said.

“Your imagination limits you. If you can see yourself doing it, you can.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSLOS ANGELES - Ernest Borgnine, the beefy

screen star known for blustery, often villainous roles, but who won the best-actor Oscar for play-ing against type as a lovesick butcher in “Marty” in 1955, died Sunday. He was 95.

Television fans loved Borgnine as the schem-ing Navy officer in the sitcom “McHale’s Navy.” Borgnine was also known as the heavy who beats up Frank Sinatra in “From Here to Eternity” and one of the thugs who menaces Spencer Tracy in “Bad Day at Block Rock.”

CALGARY - A Canadian cowboy hoped to join the ranks of the long riders as he rode out of Calgary on Sunday for an epic journey to his birth-place in Brazil.

Filipe Masetti Leite, 25, who immigrated to Canada when he was a teenager, intends to spend the next two years rid-ing his two horses, “Bruiser” and “Frenchie,” through 12 countries in North, Central and South America.

Leite is expected to eventu-

ally cover about 16,000 kilo-metres and reach his final des-tination in 2014.

“My mom is very worried obviously. She says she’s going to have to take some sedatives for the next two years to try and sleep at night,” Leite told reporters just outside the city’s Stampede grounds.

“It just feels right. We’re a family that move on instinct, we move on feeling and if it felt wrong I wouldn’t do it.”

Leite’s family returned to Sao Paolo, Brazil, seven years ago and will meet him at the end of his journey.

The young cowboy, who has a journalism degree from Ryerson University in

Toronto, intends to document his travels.

“Today I set out on what I believe will be one of the most epic journeys of the 21st century,” said Leite, who is travelling alone, with just his two horses for company.

“The whole point of this trip is to point out what’s going on in Latin America - the illegal drug war. There’s a lot of innocent people dying down there so I feel if something does happen to me it will help bring light to something that is so hypocritical.”

He intends to camp between rides and depend on the kindness of strangers - farmers and ranchers along

the way - who won’t mind him and his two equine friends spending a night or two.

Leite realizes a journey as long as his will be difficult for both the horses and himself.

“We only ride, on average, 30 kilometres a day, only four to five days a week, there’s a lot of resting time. If one of the horses is sore, we wait. If the horse is sore beyond a month, we trailer him ahead and ride the other one until he is feel-ing better.”

The inspiration for the trip is based on a similar quest in 1925 by Aime Tschiffely, a Swiss schoolteacher who rode 16,000 kilometres alone from Buenos Aires to New York.

BY JIM BAILEYTimes Sports Editor

The Trail AAA Jays played inspired baseball on the weekend, even with-out their pitching ace and leading batter Dallas Calvin.

The Jays won three of five at the American Legion Wood Bat Classic in Spokane last week, and with a 3-1 rec-ord in the round-robin were tied for a wild-card spot for the playoff round.

Unfortunately, the playoff spots were decided by run-differential and the Jays came up just short.

“There were only two wild cards, and it came down to a run differential and we missed it by three runs,” said Jays coach Nick Combo.

The deciding factor proved to be a heart-breaking loss to the Kennewick Bandits. The Jays were leading 5-4 in the bottom of the seventh and headed for their third straight win, but the Bandits loaded the bases with two out.

The next batter ripped a double to centre field to score two and steal the game 6-5.

“We were just a couple pitches from being in the playoffs,” said Combo. “I am very proud of our guys this week-end. It was a huge turn around for us as far as the way we’ve been playing.”

Josh Blank went 2 for 2 with a stolen base and Jake Lucchini and Scott Robertson both hit 2 for 4.

The Jays were without Calvin who was picked up by the senior men’s Langley Blaze team for a tour of

southern California, and the Wally Kincaid Memorial tournament. Calvin leads the Jays in hitting with a .418 average and five homers, is 1-3 with a 2.43 ERA on the mound, and has 28 strikeouts.

“We missed his arm pitching,” said Combo. “Towards the end we were starting to run out of arms, as far as fresh arms go, so that really hurt us. . . but our team really stepped up and hit well despite Dallas being out of the lineup.”

In their first match the Jays shutout the Billings Royals 3-0 on the strength of Scotty Davidson’s complete game, four-hit gem. Davidson struck out nine and gave up no walks, as the Jays scored all three of their runs in the second inning.

The Jays then faced Grand Legacy and held a tenuous 5-4 lead in the sixth when the Legacy pushed a run over to tie the game at five.

However, the Jays came right back, scoring one in the bottom half of the inning to regain the lead.

Jordan Roblin came on in relief for Scott Robertson and ended the Legacy’s hopes by striking out one and setting them down in order for the save.

Robertson nabbed the win, going six strong innings while giving up five runs on seven hits, three walks and two strikeouts. Davidson was 2 for 4 at the plate with one stolen base.

After the loss to Kennewick, Trail bounced right back in the following

match on Thursday, erupting for four runs in the second and fifth innings to cruise to a 10-2 victory over the Whitefish Glacier Twins.

Nursing a broken finger, Tyrus Jocko threw five innings of one-hit ball, striking out six while walking just two batters. Robertson led the way at the plate, going 3 for 3 with two RBIs, while Davidson went 2 for 3 with a pair of doubles, a stolen base and a run batted in.

Despite not making the playoffs, the Jays played one more match against their North Idaho nemesis, the Coeur d’Alene Lumbermen on Friday.

In an exciting game, the Lumbermen jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning and the Jays replied in the second. The loggers took the lead in the fourth, but the birds weren’t finished.

In the top of seven, Trail rallied and tied the game to send it into extra innings. However, in the bottom of the ninth with two out, an error and a bases-loaded walk would help CdA push the winning run over for a 3-2 victory.

Tanner Johnson pitched eight strong innings for the Jays, giving up five hits and two runs, while walking two batters.

Tanner Rotschy went 2 for 4 at the plate with an RBI.

The Jays next home game goes Saturday with a doubleheader against Cranbrook Bandits at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

AM FORD TRAIL ORIOLES

Stars shine on Butler

BY TIMES STAFFThe San Diego Barona

Stars and the AM Ford Trail Orioles will get it on tonight and Tuesday after manage-ment confirmed Friday that the team was on its way.

The Stars manager/owner Mickey Deutschman was reportedly cleared for travel on Friday after a health ail-ment forced the team to can-cel a scheduled four-game weekend set.

“We were going to play them over the weekend, starting tonight (Friday), but our other non-league games before the tournament fell through,” Deutschman told the East County Sports.

“That meant we would have four days off before the Kamloops Tournament, which would have been expensive for us to just sit there.

“Fortunately, the folks with the Trail Orioles were nice enough to move the games to accommodate us. That just goes to show you the type of hospitality you find in Canada.”

The Orioles will have their work cut out for them, as the semi-pro team won another

trip to the National Baseball Congress World Series last week, going undefeated in the Western Regional Playdowns, and are peren-nial favourites at the GFI.

“For us to win our pitch-ers need to throw strikes and keep the ball down, we need to play solid defense and score some runs,” said the Orioles’ Jim Maniago. “It sounds simple but we haven’t put it together this year. If we limit the amount of runs we give away we’ll give ourselves a chance.”

Following the Trail ser-ies, the Stars will play three round-robin games to open the 40th annual Kamloops International Baseball Tournament.

The Stars open play against the Thurston County Senators on Thursday. The other preliminary ball games are against the national power Seattle Studs, then the Kelowna Jays before “money round” play over the weekend.

The Orioles are 2-8 in Pacific International League play and will seek to defend their Western Canadian title in Winnipeg in August.

Game times at Butler Park are 7 p.m. tonight and Tuesday.

B.C. WOMEN’S AMATEUR GOLF

Jays find wins in wood-bat event

BY TIMES STAFFRichmond’s Christine Wong set a course record on her

way to her second British Columbia Women’s Amateur title at Christina Lake Golf Club on Saturday.

Coming off her third-round course record seven-under 65, Wong closed out her impressive victory with a two-under-par 70, 274 total (70-69-65-70-274), the lowest the Championship has seen since it went to a four-round format back in 2006. The previous record was a 275 total held by Kira Meixner in 2008.

Trail’s Kate Weir finished in 40th place after carding an 84 and an 86 on the final two days for a 335 total.

Fruitvale’s Wanda Flack finished 16th overall in the Women’s Mid-Amateur, but placed a very respectable 10th spot in the Women’s Net championship,

Kelowna’s Kyla Inaba and defending champion Christine Proteau went to a three-hole playoff to decide the Mid-Amateur champion.

After missing a three-foot putt for the win on the second playoff hole, Inaba redeemed herself on the next one as she dropped a three-footer for par to Proteau’s bogey.

Shelley Stouffer of Nanoose Bay won the Master-40 title and finished third overall in the Mid-Amateur.

Wong, a member at Quilchena Golf and Country Club, staved off unrelenting pressure at the onset by Soo-Bin Kim of Port Coquitlam who just wouldn’t give up on the title.

“Soo-Bin is an excellent player, a clutch player and was able to get a few birdies and narrow my lead, which made me even more nervous,” said Wong. “I had to tell myself that I still had a lead at that point.”

Luongo was originally sched-uled to be on Vancouver’s 99.3 the Fox to speak about his par-ticipation in the World Series of Poker.

However, the discussion shifted to hockey and where he might play next season since the Canucks signed backup goalie Cory Schneider to a three-year deal worth US$12 million on June 28.

“I think it’s really time to move on,” said Luongo after being asked if he could insist on staying in Vancouver. “I don’t think either one of us ... either I demanded a trade or (Canucks general manager Mike Gillis) suggested a trade.

“It was a mutual understand-ing that it was time for Cory to take over.”

The Canucks acquired Luongo in a trade with the Florida Panthers in 2006. He has 339 career wins in the NHL with 60 shutouts, a 2.52 goals-

against average and a .919 saves percentage.

Since arriving in British Columbia, Luongo has led Vancouver to the playoffs five times. The Canucks have also won the President’s Trophy for the league’s best regular season record the past two years.

He has 32 wins in 61 playoff appearances with a 2.53 GAA and a .916 saves percentage.

When host Jeff O’Neil asked if there was “any chance in Hell” he’d play for Vancouver this fall, Luongo stayed ambivalent.

“I would never say never. You never know,” said the 33-year-old Montreal native. “But I think we all know what’s going on. We’ve all seen what’s developed. At the end of the day, I think it’s time to move on. And I’m OK with that. I had a great six years in Vancouver. It’s a really won-derful city. I really enjoyed my time there.

“Unfortunately, I was not able to bring a Stanley Cup there. Probably my biggest regret. But it’ll be remembered for six great years.”

Although Luongo had a ster-ling reputation during the regu-lar season, he sometimes strug-gled in the playoffs. Particularly disappointing was the Canucks’

first-round exit this season to the Los Angeles Kings in five games.

Vancouver was the top seed in the Western Conference, with the eventual Stanley Cup champion Kings the No. 8 seed. Schneider replaced Luongo as the Canucks starting goaltender after Game 3.

Luongo was asked Friday about how he learned that Schneider was being signed to the lucrative contract.

“Nobody called me, but I think that was to be expected. We’ve all seen what he’s done in Vancouver the last couple of years,” said Luongo. “He’s a tre-mendous talent. The main thing that I like about him is that he’s a got a great head on his shoul-ders.

“He’s a player that’s going to be able to handle the job and handle the market with that pressure. He’s going to be a star in this league, there’s no ques-tion about that, and he’s going to probably win a few Vezinas.”

Schneider has 38 regular sea-son wins with three shutouts, a 1.96 GAA and a .937 save per-centage. He has a single win in eight playoff appearances with a 1.91 GAA and a .940 save percentage.

Luongo resigned and ready to go

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSLOS ANGELES - Steve Nash could have earned

more money while enjoying the twilight of his remarkable NBA career in Manhattan, his off-sea-son home. Or he could have returned to Canada, finishing up his playing days in Toronto with an eye toward national history and another career in the front office.

Instead, the two-time MVP point guard is going Hollywood.

Nash, from Victoria, is teaming up with Kobe Bryant and whatever seven-foot stars end up with the Los Angeles Lakers for at least a few more seasons of title contention on the best team within a short flight of Phoenix, where his three children live.

Children and championships trumped every-thing else in Nash’s mind when he agreed to a sign-and-trade deal that will put him in purple and gold next week.

“The idea to be close to my son, my daughters, who will be in Phoenix, was the No. 1 priority,” Nash told ESPN’ Thursday. “Don’t get me wrong, it’s fantastic. I think I’m a good fit for the team.”

LEISURE

Dear Annie: Let me say that I am grateful my parents are alive and well enough to enjoy their grandchil-dren. However, they expect to be included in everything involving their grandchildren. Each of my children plays a sport (some-times two) in addition to school plays and recitals. This adds up to multiple events every week. If my parents find out that my sister or I neglected to invite them to something, we get the cold shoulder, and our father won’t talk to us for weeks.

Annie, the parents of our children’s class-mates have become our friends. They comprise our social group, and I simply don’t want my parents to butt into this part of our lives. My folks crave conversa-tion, but don’t have the best social skills. They are retired, have no friends, aren’t involved in anything and create their schedule around their grandchildren’s

events, saying they “need to be there for them.” But our children truly don’t care whether their grandparents are there. They like to see them in the audience on occasion, but other-wise find their constant presence intrusive.

Please don’t tell me to encourage my par-ents to seek out new friends and get involved in other things. It’s too late for that. And they do not respond well to suggestions from their children. If they truly want to be a part of their grandchildren’s lives, I wish they would spend time with them instead of watching from the bleachers. We’d love it if they would introduce

the kids to experiences they might not other-wise have, teach them something and share memories with them.

Is there anything we can do? -- Frustrated in the Midwest

Dear Midwest: Tell your parents what you told us -- that you want them to spend individ-ual time with the kids, creating memories that will last forever. Offer some suggestions. But please don’t banish them from your chil-dren’s school and sports events. These things provide structure and purpose for your par-ents. There is no need to be embarrassed by their social skills. Your friends understand.

Dear Annie: My brother-in-law has been living with us for nine months. He’s been unemployed for a year. “Ralph” does some work around the house and uses his food stamps for many of his meals, but he’s hit the end of his unemploy-ment benefits. Ralph

will not take just any job. In fact, he turned one down, saying it was too hard for him at his age. He’s 61. He simply wants to wait until he’s 62 and then retire.

How do we get him to move out? Ralph won’t even go for free medical care. He hasn’t paid us anything for his upkeep and ignores our message to find a job or go on welfare. He is draining our extra funds. We don’t want him on the street, but we’d like him to be more independent. Any suggestions? -- Peeved and Had Enough

Dear Peeved: Ralph apparently believes he’s so close to retire-ment that he is entitled to sponge off of others until he gets there. Are there any other fam-ily members or friends who might take him in and give you a break? Unless your husband makes it clear to his brother that he can no longer stay rent-free at your home, this will continue, with no guar-

antee that he will sud-denly move out when he’s 62. Talk to your husband and decide what type of deadline you are willing to give, and stick to it.

Dear Annie: “An Independent Wife” said a previous writer

should not expect her husband to call every night when he’s out of town on business. Instead, she should find her own interests to keep her occupied.

My husband trav-els, too, and unfail-ingly calls me every

night. I am thankful to be married to a man who believes our rela-tionship is important enough to warrant a daily call, if only to tell me he loves me and to “hug my pillow” for him. -- Virginia

LEISURE

For Tuesday, July 10, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It’s easy to be impatient today. Therefore, acknowl-edge this and cool your jets. Not only will you feel better, so will everyone else. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might get more done working behind the scenes or working alone today. Don’t push the river, and don’t expect too much. Just get busy and finish what you have to do. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A conversation with a female acquaintance could be signifi-cant today, but you also might feel competitive with this person. Don’t get caught up playing the “I am right” game. Who really cares? CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You should be aware that aspects of your private life are going to be made public today, especially in the eyes of

bosses, parents and teachers. Therefore, conduct yourself accordingly. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Try to do something different today, because you’re yearn-ing for a little adventure. By all means, travel somewhere if you can. Go someplace you’ve never been before. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Set aside some time today to take care of red-tape details concerning inheritances, wills, taxes, debt or insurance mat-ters. Get some of this stuff out of the way. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You have to compromise with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. That’s just how it works. Go more than halfway to keep everyone happy (including you). SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You have the urge to get better organized. Wonderful!

When you’re better organized, your life flows more smoothly because things are easier and your mind is clearer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Take some time out today to play. Enjoy parties, sports, playful times with children or expressing yourself through the arts. It’s good to balance your work with some fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Discussions with a parent

or a female relative could be significant today. Some of you will want to cocoon at home if you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You feel you have some-thing you want to say today. You don’t want to just chat about superficial topics, you want to speak from the heart. Hopefully, someone will lis-ten.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Pay attention to your cash flow and earnings situation. Figure out exactly how much you have and how much you owe. Don’t be casual about how you handle your money. YOU BORN TODAY Generally, many of you have a quiet personality. Most per-ceive you as conservative, modest and reflective. You are intelligent and do not hesitate to voice your opinions, but

you are always considerate of the feelings of others. In fact, if you’re very sensitive to your surroundings, especially visu-ally. In the year ahead, you will construct or build some-thing important to you. Birthdate of Alice Munro, writer; Arlo Guthrie, folksing-er/songwriter; Sofia Vergara, actress.

REGIONAL

BY SALLY MACDONALDCranbrook Townsman

Eleven of the 19 mountain caribou relocated to the Purcell Mountains west of Cranbrook have now died.

“It’s not the result we were hoping for. We have had some significant mortalities,” said Steve Gordon, project manager of the Purcells South Mountain Caribou Herd Augmentation. “We’re all deeply saddened by the loss of these animals.”

The endangered animals were brought from Dease Lake in northern B.C. in March in an attempt by the provincial government to revive a dwin-dling herd in the backcountry between the East and West Kootenay.

There are less than 1,700 mountain caribou in existence. The Purcells South herd had around 15 animals before the

transplant.To boost the local herd, 20

mountain caribou (17 females, three males) were taken from a healthy herd on the Tahltan First Nation, fitted with GPS radio collars then brought down to the Kootenays in specially designed animal trailers.

One female caribou died on route.

But as soon as they were released, the transplanted cari-bou began to explore. Some of the animals split off and wan-dered out of the mountains in groups of two or three. GPS signals picked up the caribou in Fort Steele, Mayook, Moyie and Skookumchuck. Some made it all the way to Montana, swimming across Koocanusa Reservoir three times to get there.

Sadly, the caribou that left their natural habitat - which is

above 1,400 metres or 4,500 feet in elevation - are the ones that have been lost to preda-tors.

“The animals that were taken by predators with one exception have all been preyed upon in low elevation areas that would not be considered suitable cari-bou habitat,” said Gordon.

One caribou died in an acci-dent; it fell through a sheet of ice and couldn’t scramble out.

Four were killed by cougars.One was killed by wolves

after walking across the val-ley floor and into the Rocky Mountains.

Two made it into Montana, but were taken by wolves after one broke its leg.

Three died of unknown caus-es; the project team are wait-ing for the results of autopsies underway at the University of Calgary.
