As the Trail Times con-tinues to celebrate 120 years of reporting local news, we’ve donned white gloves and browsed through histor-ical newspapers, looking to highlight some of the City of Trail’s landmark events.

“So free and wild was the Columbia River until man set hand on land.”
That's wistful senti-
ment for lost landscape in the Columbia Basin follow-ing 1960s dam construction. But what it meant for Trail, especially in June of '48, was flooding, homelessness and the threat of typhoid fever.
The Trail Daily Times front page screamed “Council Declares Emergency” June 1 that year. City council made its state of emergency call the previous evening and within hours, B.C.'s then-Premier Byron Johnson declared an
emergency throughout the province.
Trail council's action gave power to the city's Chief Constable John Laurie,
enabling him to swear in spe-cial constables to help protect lives and property.
“Within an hour of the declaration of an emergency he (Constable Laurie) had sworn in 40 constables who were dispatched to the work-ing areas to keep crowds of sightseers back,” wrote the Trail Times reporter, noting, “meanwhile city hall, nerve centre of the gigantic flood relief organization, has been

It has been just over a year, but RCMP officers investigating the 2014 homicide of Tom Feeney say it isn't a cold case.
Constable Tim Russell from the RCMP Kelowna Major Crimes Office says officers and investigators aren't giving up on finding who is responsible for the death of Feeney in Rossland on June 5, 2014.
“The case is still in the investigative state,” he said. “Active investigation is being followed-up on a daily basis. There are still a number of investigators that are continuing to follow-up on active leads.”
There were numerous items stolen from the 75-year-old's home in what police have said was a robbery that ended in homicide. None of the items have been recovered yet, but Russell says they haven't stopped looking.
“The items that had initially been listed on the media conference in the first week (after Feeney was found), none of the items that we are seeking from the property have been recovered, so we are still looking for those,” he said.
Although it has been a year since Feeney was discovered, Russell says there is no such thing as a cold case in the RCMP. As long as there is a lead, investigators will follow.
“This unit, specifically, has investigations that are in the public's mind, considered historical,” he explained. “There are instances where those do produce new leads and we are able to follow up and bring them to a successful conclusion years later.”

FROM PAGE 1Sometimes, when the Major Crime
Office runs out of ideas, or believes it may have missed something, the office calls in a fresh set of eyes to look at the case, but it still isn’t considered cold.
“Some investigations, they can go through file review periods,” said Russell. “The investigation will be reviewed by an independent group, outside of our major crime office. It is about ensuring that all information is followed-up with and that we didn’t overlook anything. With this investigation, though, we haven’t reached that point.”
Feeney was found deceased in his Rossland home on June 5, 2014. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that several items were missing from his home. Among those were five firearms, includ-ing one, a Pedersoli/Cimmaron Arms 1874 Sharps 45-70 rifle, which investigators have described as unique with an octagonal bar-rel and distinctive firing mechanism and sight. There was also an LCD television, a crossbow with a broken string and a set of .45 calibre reloading equipment reported as missing from the scene.
Police are not releasing the cause of death pending suspect identification.
Anyone with information about the homicide or any of the missing items, is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. All calls and information gets forwarded to the Kelowna Major Crimes Office.

Police continue to investigate leads into the death of Tom Feeney in June 2014. Several items were also missing following the criminal act and police are seeking any assistance from the public regarding these items. Among them are two rare firearms. Top: a Pedersoli/Cimarron Arms 1874 Sharps 45-70. This is an extremely unique (rifle) – with an octagon shaped barrel and a distinctive firing mechanism and sight. Above; a 30/30 lever action rifle has a saddle ring, which is rare.
Duplicate players are natural bullies, obsessed with rules, tending towards
being control freaks who love the game of bridge. At my club, I am dispel-ling any bad image of duplicate players. Every inexperienced player is allowed to ask a question dur-ing the bidding, such as “what does my part-ner’s bid mean?” Rules need to be relaxed for those getting used to the format of dupli-cate. Undo’s are also allowed.
I started this column insulting bridge players, tongue in cheek, and now I am going to continue. Bridge players, in general, are liars. Yes, liars. No matter how good a bidding system is, it never matches every hand the player will encounter. So a
player often has to make a white lie. That is okay, just part of the game, however one needs to know how to
lie. The next time, when one fudges a bid to match a difficult-seeming hand, one must remember that it is better to lie about length of a suit then the strength of the hand. Not only does
one not want to exaggerate the strength of one’s hand, one also does not want to hide points from partner. Furthermore, one always refrains from bidding No Trump without a stopper in a suit bid by the opponents. To reiterate, one lies about length not about strength and not about a stopper.
White lies do not usually occur in competition. If your Right Hand Opponent bids,
he keeps the bidding open for partner and allows you to pass instead of making a white lie. Furthermore if your partner has chosen to overcall instead of doubling you always have the option of passing.
One common lie that most bridge players make is responding with One No Trump without a balanced hand and without the unbid suits stopped.
The bidding: North has 15 to 17 HCP’s but has an unbal-anced hand. He opens One Spade, and South responds One No Trump because a new suit at the two-level would show 10 points or more. North bids his second suit, Clubs, giving partner a choice of two suits. South, instead of choosing which singleton is trump, bids Two Diamonds which is to be passed. If South had ten points, he would have
bid Two Diamonds directly over One Spade.
The Play: West’s best lead is a trump, and the unbid suit can wait. Declarer will lose five tricks unless the defense do not take the trump off of dummy. The defense want to grab their Heart tricks and never allow dummy’s Spades to be used for discards. The Club King will be a place for a Heart or a Spade. Declarer will get six Diamonds and two Clubs for +90.

The former Nelson Daily News building will become UBC’s learning centre head-quarters come September, host-ing both the West Kootenay Teacher Education Program and the recently announced course Writing from the Ground Up.
And according to teach-er education director Wendy Carr, the upcoming move came together with a surprising syn-chronicity.
“There were so many won-derful omens. Everything was falling into place,” said Carr, who noted there were a num-ber of possibilities for reloca-tion, but 266 Baker St. was the best. For the past 26 years the WKTEP has been running out of Selkirk College in Castlegar, but she said it was time for a change.
“We’ve got really tight ties to the West Kootenay. Our pro-gram is based on a place-based pedagogy, and we really rely on the school and commun-ity locations. At one point we
thought maybe we would locate in a school, but we needed a certain amount of space and we weren’t able to find it.”
UBC then went looking for somewhere central to base their operations, and that’s when the Nelson Daily News building became available.
“Right away we fell in love with it,” said Carr. “We love the history of Nelson and we love being in Nelson. It was traditionally a university town and we really think bringing the UBC presence back is a really good thing. And that was reinforced when Tom Wayman and Verna Relkoff got in touch with us to see if some kind of partnership was possible.”
The WKTEP will share the space with the recently announced creative writ-ing course Writing From the Ground Up, which will meet on Fridays and Saturdays.
The location will serve as a base for operations as UBC con-tinues to expand its program-ming in Nelson.
“During the week we’ll have
classes running in the cen-tre most days, at least three, while there will be one to two days where students are off in school-based learning sites.”
The program is a 60-credit intensive for those who already have an undergraduate degree. Students obtain a Bachelor of Education certification after one year.
“The BC teaching certificate is very highly regarded world-wide, and it opens up a lot of possibilities. A lot of our gradu-ates do decide to continue to teach in local and rural areas around BC and Canada, but the rest of the world is also open to them.”
Carr said UBC hopes to build a number of community part-nerships.
“We have strong relation-ships in the schools, not only in Nelson but the whole region. We’d love to continue to develop our relationships with community members, and we think situating ourselves right downtown is the right way to do that.”
FROM PAGE 1equipped with extra telephones, with additional lines to the city engineer, the city clerk and the police department.”
The emergency state also allowed Flood Relief Director J.P. Coates, the city engineer, to ban the sale of gasoline to “non-essential” users because stock of the valuable fuel dropped precariously low.
Fire fighting equipment was dis-patched to protect East Trail prop-erty and special police guards were stationed on the river wall beside members of the 24 Heavy Artillery Regiment.
The rising river swelled onto Columbia Avenue in East Trail, for-cing evacuation as well as threaten-ing those living on Groutage and Riverside avenues.
(Notably, in the June 3, 1948 Trail Daily Times edition, flood-ing was said to persist, leading to a four-block evacuation of those homes and a nightly curfew siren sounded from city hall)
Fleets of trucks were on site throughout the night, with crews hauling gravel and hundreds of planks to the reinforce the retaining wall on “Central Trail’s Esplanade, appearing in a few hours as if by magic as the efficient organization (C.M. & S. Company) galvanized into action.”
Public health clinics organized by Dr. J.S. Daly, the city’s medical
health officer, had nurses and Red Cross members inoculating hun-dreds against the bacterial infection called Salmonella typhi, or typhoid.
The potential health crises lin-gered, however, because the city only received 1,000 vaccine doses when 5,000 were ordered.
In efforts to avoid contagion, the newspaper reported Dr. Daly, “despite objections from parents and from members of the city coun-cil,” repeated instructions for resi-dents to boil water before drinking.
“Dr. Daly admitted that the city’s water supply was pure but said that with so many basements under water, it was quite possible for the typhoid virus to enter the main sup-ply through even a slightly leaking tap,” wrote the reporter.
Elsewhere on the front page is a story about the Fraser River shore-line receding slightly after leaving thousands flood stricken; dogged workmen battling the flood menace in Pitt Meadows; a mobile 25-bed Red Cross emergency hospital read-ied for shipping into the interior; and United States President Harry S. Truman mobilizing aid for the downstream flood disaster.
Evacuations began June 1 in Portland Oregon as the swollen Columbia River brought peril, caus-ing the Pacific Northwest’s “great-est disaster,” flooding hundreds of farms and small cities.

At Monday's regular council meeting, Montrose councillors approved a higher-than-expected expense for the removal of haz-ardous trees throughout the vil-lage.
Under the Tree Inspection and Maintenance Program, council-lors passed a motion to spend $8,198 on arboriculture servic-es from Castlegar's Kodiak Tree Service, to ensure that high prior-ity trees were taken care of.
Chief Administrative Officer Bryan Teasdale, says over the past year, the village has had quite a few requests from residents to take a look at certain trees that could be on their last legs, or may pose a danger to residents and structures.
“We want to get to the high hazard trees as fast as we can,” he
said of the work which began on Tuesday, and should take a week to complete.
The higher number of dan-gerous trees meant a few extra hundred dollars had to be spent on the service, but Teasdale says the money is coming from the general maintenance fund in the village's parks budget.
With the Tree Inspection and Maintenance Program, the vil-lage has a list of trees needing maintenance, and all of them are rated according to their hazard level. Some trees may move up in priority from one year to the next, and this year, the village has categorized 13 trees as needing immediate attention.
“We have an inventory of all the hazardous trees in the village brought to our attention and we prioritize those accordingly,” said Teasdale.

Gordon (Gordie) Hanson of Rossland, passed away suddenly June 13, 2015 with wife Kathy by his side.Gord lived his 74 years as he wished, from refusing to go to kindergarten, to riding his motorbike scooter until the end.Being outdoors was his driving force, e� e-cially � shing, ATVing and hanging out on the beach in Mulege.

He had varied careers in his life and many will remember working for him in his auto body shop.His endless wit and charm endeared him to those who could navigate past his gru� de-meanor. He was helpful and kind and enjoyed people, e� ecially if he could share a good laugh.Gord is survived and dearly missed by his wife and best friend Kathy, his children Lori, Brad (Tracey), and � eresa (Michael), � ve grand-children, two great-grandchildren, and a large extended family.Special thanks to all those who answered the emergency call on Saturday morning, and to those who happened to be there.� ose wanting to celebrate Gord’s life are invited to a� end an informal gathering at the Hanson home, 100 Ritchie Rd., Rossland, BC on Satur-day June 20, 2015 at 2:00pm.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SLANGFORD, B.C. - The honesty
of a homeless man who turned in more than $2,000 he found on a suburban Victoria street could pay off for the unidentified Good Samaritan.
West Shore RCMP Const. Alex Berube said Tuesday that police are looking for the man to tell him his good deed has spurred people to donate to a fundraising effort that’s already hit $1,400.
Berube said police patrols are keeping watch for the man, who has no fixed address but is known in the community of Langford, just west of Victoria.
He said police have had numer-ous media requests to allow the man to tell his story, but he hasn’t been located.
Mounties will ask him to make a public statement, Berube said.
“If he’s not too humble we’ll set up a media conference,” he said.
Police said earlier that the man, who is in his 60s, recently found the cash and brought it to the RCMP detachment.
Mounties said it’s unusual for such a large amount of money to be turned in, but the man’s situation makes it even more surprising.
RCMP said the man handed over the money because he felt it was the right thing to do.
Police will return the money to him if no one claims it within 90 days.
Berube said several people have called the detachment laying claim to the cash, but have not been able to provide specific details about the denominations or where the money could have been found.
The fundraising campaign is on the media website Victoria Buzz.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SEDMONTON -
Canadian rock music legend and environ-mental activist Neil Young has postponed a planned benefit con-cert in Edmonton.
Eriel Deranger, spokeswoman for the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, says the delay is due to internal management issues.
No new date for the concert has been set.
The show was to have been one of sev-eral concerts to benefit the northern Alberta band which lives in the oilsands region.
The First Nation
has mounted court challenges to develop-ment approvals in the region. Young began
playing the shows last year after a visit to Fort Chipewyan and the oil-sands region.

OPINION
From the Dobell Doctrine to the dearth of documents
It may look like one at night, but the B.C. legislature isn’t a movie set, even though
some government staffers seem to be living out their own screenplays along the corridors of power.
This after former gov-ernment staffer Tim Duncan blew the whistle last month on a propensity in ministerial offices for the delete button.
Duncan claims that when he hesitated to delete a dozen or so emails back in 2014 – and his superior stepped in to do so – he was told “This is Fight Club. And the first rule of Fight Club is we don’t talk about Fight Club.”
Frankly, the only thing that’s shocking about the reaction to Duncan’s rev-elations is that it’s a shock to anyone. At least now, there’s a starting date. Fight Club hit theatres in 1999.
And it didn’t take long after for the B.C. gov-ernment, under Gordon Campbell, to turn that movie line into standard operating procedure.
In 2003, then dep-uty minister to the pre-mier, Ken Dobell, created
a ruckus at a conference on freedom of informa-tion and accountable gov-ernment when he boasted that he deleted emails as fast as he could and didn’t write down meeting notes. It became known as the “Dobell Doctrine.”
Amidst the furor, he promised to mend his ways, but didn’t.
According to a 2004 access to informa-tion request filed by the Dogwood Initiative, Dobell retained all of 11 email messages on his system in the two months following the conference.
And while the govern-ment said Dobell’s practices shouldn’t set an example for other staff, that was for public consumption. The government didn’t take it to heart.
A day after the 2005 provincial election, min-istry officials in the health department were warning regional authorities: “not to put sensitive informa-tion in writing” to prevent the NDP and others from accessing that informa-tion.
In an interview with journalist Sean Holman, the executive director of
communications at the health ministry, Carol Carman, claimed that the advice was given because “the director was con-cerned some government emails may have incom-plete information in them that could be misinter-preted. So it would be bet-ter not to have that infor-mation make it into the public domain.”
When the ministry’s edict was raised in the legislature, then Minister of Labour and Citizens’ Services Mike de Jong said: “In my view, freedom-of-information and privacy protection legislation should not be used as a shield and an impediment to people receiving infor-mation that otherwise should be made available.
Disclosure and transparen-cy should be the norm...”
But again the govern-ment was speaking out of both sides of its mouth. All open publicly, all secrecy in practice.
Fast forward through all the issues surrounding ‘oral government’ and the 2012 multicultural out-reach strategy to December 2014 and Marcia McNeil’s report on the 2012 health ministry firings.
It drives home an important point in regards to what Tim Duncan was evidently told.
McNeil noted that “This case is lacking the reports, briefing notes, meeting notes or other documents which are frequently pre-pared in situations where discipline may be con-templated. This dearth of documents has granted the decision-makers...an opportunity to avoid tak-ing ownership of the deci-sion.”
Following the report’s release, Government House Leader Mike de Jong said: “It is deeply troubling to learn that Ms. McNeil found there was lack of due process and lack of understanding of existing
procedures...”U n i n t e n t i o n a l l y ,
McNeil’s report came smack in the middle of Tim Duncan’s Fight Club warning in November and his West Wing – you do whatever it takes to win – warning in January.
Neither McNeil’s con-clusions nor Mr. de Jong’s reaction to them fazed a soul. Back to business as usual.
No surprise then that a “dearth of documents” is hardly the exception when it comes to access to infor-mation requests in B.C.
According to a 2013 report by B.C.’s Information and Privacy Commissioner, 25 per cent of 3,182 requests filed in 2011/12 were met with “no responsive records.”
For the premier’s office, the numbers more than doubled from 21 per cent of 144 requests in 2009/10 under Gordon Campbell to 45 per cent of 373 requests under Christy Clark.
Now what was someone saying about leading “the most open and transparent government in Canada?”

T h e N e l s o N s T a rBear sightings near Cottonwood
Lake south of Nelson have prompt-ed the closure of a portion of the Nelson-Salmo Great Northern Trail until June 29.
This is an annual closure which includes the trail south of Cottonwood Lake parking area to Hall Siding. Signs will be posted accordingly at the entrance to trail closures.
The Regional District of Central Kootenay has initiated the spring closure in consultation with BC Conservation Officer Service, regional bear biologists and the
Ministry of Forest Land and Natural Resource Operations.
A written statement from the regional district said collared bear data has shown the area from Cottonwood Lake to Hall Siding, particularly the areas of Apex and Camp Busk, are heavily used by grizzly bears in the spring.
The bears use this area because of its high valued forage habitat. In most cases the bears move on to higher elevations by the middle of June. It is felt that an annual clos-ure will help ensure public safety and benefit the local bear popula-tion from over exposure.

Rossland’s historic Miners Hall will be receiving a much needed upgrade if the recent grant appli-cations are deemed worthy enough.
As part of the Canada 150 grant, City council has decided to apply for funding from the fed-eral government for renovations to the Miners Hall.
“We chose the Miners Hall as the City sponsored grant for the Canada 150, which is $150 million over two years,” said Mayor Kathy Moore.
This money is being distributed among commun-
ities in celebration of Canada’s 150th anni-versary in 2017.
Other projects vying for support were the library, museum and a recrea-tion space next to the upcoming skatepark — or a ‘greening’ of the Emcon lot.
Mayor Moore said in the end the Miners Hall was the project
that best fit the criter-ia but the city will be sending letters of sup-port for the upgrade projects being sought out by the library and museum.
These two projects are eligible to apply on their own because they have leases with the City and the City will endorse their projects.

Does this area need another grocery store? Interesting question, considering the three existing full service stores are more than adequate to most shopping lists. Why, then, should we be surprised to know that there are also three local food banks? Feeding hungry people works best with more than a one-size-fits-all approach, whether it’s a check-out or a hand-out.
Canadians are generous folks, with many blessings and ready to share. Earthquakes and epidemics call for emer-gency giving, but closer to home we also have neighbours in need. Each week in Trail, more than 100 people count on the community generosity that is provided at a Food Bank. And yes, there are three! How do these work?
Most of us are familiar with the Salvation Army, those soldiers of Christendom who ring bells on street corners at Christmas time, and fill hampers with toys and bellies with food. At Kate’s Kitchen, soup is served for lunch four days a week, and dinner on Thursdays -- pay as you are
able. Kate’s is affiliated with the Salvation Army of Canada and Bermuda as well as with Food Bank Canada, but despite these connections its resources are almost exclusively from com-munity support.
National affiliation requires paperwork, so a hungry per-son applying here must fill out an application as well as an income test, in order to be eligible for a grocery hamper once a month. But there is no point applying for a hamper on a Tuesday, because … on Tuesdays in Trail, hampers are provided downtown by one of the two other local food banks.
Working collaboratively, two churches on opposite sides of Pine Avenue host morning events where hungry people are fed. The Trail United Church and St. Andrew’s Anglican Church open their doors – each on an assigned week -- to a gathering place of support and sustenance.
The two work slightly differ-ently, but both provide roughly 100 adults and children with food to help stretch the budget. No application required, just sign in with a name and house-
hold headcount. Coffee and snacks are provided, and a chance to connect with sup-portive people.
The three Trail food banks may have links to Christian organizations, but there is no religious agenda to feeding the hungry. No prayers or preach-ing are required, nor is it even necessary to enter a church because each facility has a sep-arate street access. Volunteers and contributors come from a variety of backgrounds, some of faith and some not; many have walked paths parallel to those now receiving food.
Some of our community’s most vulnerable members rely on our food banks. Your help can make a difference. Can you write a cheque? Volunteer a few hours a month? Collect donations at your place of work or worship? For more information, call 250 368-5581 and ask Patty about Tuesdays in Trail, or call the Salvation Army’s Family Services at 250 364-0445. Please don’t wait till Christmas – our food banks need you year-round.

An editorial from the Toronto Star
Good grief. What on earth has federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose been nibbling? Steroid-laced Alberta cheese-burgers? She certainly hasn’t been chowing down on sooth-ing cannabis cookies.
Her dyspeptic reaction to the Supreme Court’s ruling this past week legalizing reefer brownies and Mary Jane tisanes raised more eyebrows than a whiff of skunk at a church pic-nic. It came across like a spasm of ‘roid rage. Or a bit of self-serving Conservative political posturing in the run-up to a federal election.
“Frankly, I’m outraged,” Ambrose declared. “I’m out-raged by the message that judges are sending that they think that they can approve a drug into a medicine without clear clinical scientific evidence and without safety reviews.” Cannabis “is not a drug … not a medicine,” she insisted.
Well, not on Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Reefer Madness-obsessed watch. Health Canada could make it an
approved medicine, but won’t. The Tories are ideologically dead set against anyone using marijuana. While two in three Canadians want it legalized or decriminalized, the Tories are forever bashing Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau for proposing to legalize. And they can’t bring themselves to decriminalize, as New Democrat Leader Tom Mulcair proposes.
But for all Ambrose’s sput-tering, the Supremes weren’t trying to practice medicine without a licence by declaring marijuana a cure for what ails us. They were just upholding the law of the land.
Medical use of marijuana for seriously ill people, while controversial, has been legal in Canada since 2001 after the courts ruled that cannabis has some “medicinal value” and can be of “therapeutic assist-ance.”
Ambrose’s own department, Health Canada, has licensed no fewer than 25 firms to grow the stuff. Some 50,000 Canadians use it, lawfully. And yes, Ottawa can claim its tax cut.
But until now Health Canada
rules effectively forced people to smoke medical marijuana. And that violated the Constitution by unreasonably interfering with “life, liberty and security of the person” in two ways, the court ruled: People who wanted to consume marijuana in, say, a cookie would face prison while a smoker would not. That’s pat-ently unfair.
And forcing people to smoke exposes them to cancer and bronchial infections. That’s just dumb. Rightly, the court found these rules both arbitrary and unhealthy.
So brownies, cookies, teas and whatever other concoction ailing people can whip up in the kitchen blender are now on the menu. As they should be.
Despite Ambrose’s wild assertion that the high court justices are branching out into the drug-approval busi-ness, this ruling gives the judi-cial nod to baking brownies for sick people, nothing more. The federal government, under Liberals and Tories alike, has long since given the nod to medicinal toking. This minister needs to chill out.

Greater Trail Little League hit one out of the park on the weekend as it hosted a successful and thrilling end to the season for ages 9-10 Minor and 11-12 Major base-ball players and coaches.
The Minor playoffs at Andy Bilesky Park saw 11 teams from Castlegar, Nelson, Beaver Valley, Salmo, and Grand Forks compete, while in Fruitvale eight Major teams took to the field at McInnes Park for the league championship includ-ing teams from Trail, B.V., Castlegar, Nelson, Salmo, and Okanagan Falls.
“The weekend was great,” said Trail Minor Mariners coach Jim Maniago. “There was tons of people around watching, tons of kids around, the concession was busy, the weather was per-fect, the young guys umpir-ing did a good job, it was a good weekend of baseball all around.”
And when the dust settled, it was Maniago’s team, the Trail Mariners, that captured the Minor League tourna-ment for the second year in a row with a 14-3 victory over the Castlegar Storm.
The Mariners went 4-0 through the round robin with an 11-6 win over the Nelson Tigers, and a tight 9-6 victory over the Nelson Pirates before breaking open a 2-0 game in the fifth inning to quell the Storm 8-4 to complete the round robin.
The Storm would then hold on for a 12-10 win over their Castlegar counterparts the Cardinals in the semi-finals, to advance to the final against the Mariners.
“All the kids on all the teams played really well,” said Maniago. “Out of 26 games there was only a couple of blowouts, there was lots of tight, nail-biting games for the parents watching and even a walk off home run in one game.”
Meanwhile, it was a year of firsts in the Major division, as a surprising Castlegar team went undefeated through the round-robin pool play then knocked off Okanagan Falls in the semi-finals on their way to a thrilling 5-4 win over the Nelson Giants in the final.
It was the first time in at least a decade that a Trail or B.V. team did not play in the final match.
The defending Little League Major champion, Beaver Valley Yankees, went 2-1 in their pool and advanced to the semifinals but would lose to Nelson in
a thrilling if not contentious 7-6 battle. With the Yankees up 6-2, Nelson surged back in the final inning scoring five runs to advance to the championship match.
“We went in in really good shape,” said Yankees coach Jason Startup. “I think we were facing their seven, eight and nine hitters. But they got a walk and the guy came up and smashed a double – he hadn’t touched a ball all game, but good for them.
That started a rally, got into the middle of their line up and they just kept hitting, and we couldn’t get an out. But a really good game.”
After Castlegar beat OK Falls 15-13 in another riv-eting semifinal, the team kept its momentum going. They jumped out to an early 5-2 lead against the Giants in the final, then hung on as Nelson clawed its way back with a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth to
make it 5-4, yet could not find the equalizer as the Castlegar closer came in and shut down the Giants’ batters.
“This is a team that at the beginning of the year couldn’t do anything, and now they’ve gelled and come together and their confidence is soaring,” added Startup. “I’m disappointed for my kids, but we did really well and I’m super proud.”
The Yankees earned home field advantage after winning last season’s Major cham-pionship in a thrilling final-inning comeback against the Eagles whose team had won the Major title the previous four years. The Eagles, how-ever, did not make the playoff this year after a three-way tie in the round robin left them on the outside looking in.
The Eagles beat Nelson and Salmo in pool play, but a 14-6 loss to OK Falls would sink the Beaver Valley May Days Tournament cham-pion’s chances. The Eagles, OK Falls, and the Giants all finished with identical 2-1 records in their pool but the Eagles lost out due to run differential, while OK Falls and Nelson advanced to the playoff round.
The other Major Trail team, the Dodgers, went 1-2 in the round robin and did not make the playoff round.

An upstart Castlegar team won the Trail Little League Major championship on Sunday behind good pitching and timely hitting with a 5-4 final victory over Nelson.
T H e C a N a D i a N P R e S SCHICAGO - When the Chicago Blackhawks
lost Michal Rozsival to injury in the second round of the playoffs, they rode their top four defencemen the rest of the way through the post-season.
It turned out to be a Stanley Cup-winning recipe.
While the Tampa Bay Lightning relied on depth, the Blackhawks kept going back to play-off MVP Duncan Keith, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Brent Seabrook and Johnny Oduya. Instead of getting worn out, they got better and led the charge in a series won by defence.
“You kind of take it as a challenge,” Oduya said. “You want to prove that it’s not an issue.”
The Blackhawks proved it time and again in these playoffs, eventually wearing down a Lightning team that was besieged by injur-ies. Tampa Bay goaltender Ben Bishop missed one game in the final and left another, while Tyler Johnson and Brian Boyle played through noticeable issues.
While the Lightning were the better team, they began to look like the more tired and banged-up team as the series progressed. Coach Jon Cooper said he wouldn’t trade any of the playoff “grind” to be on the golf course, but it took a toll on his team.
Meanwhile, the Blackhawks were relatively healthy. Other than Rozsival, they didn’t have any major injuries.
“You still need things to fall into place for you to a certain degree as far as guys staying healthy,” captain Jonathan Toews said Monday. “To a certain degree, the guys in our room do what they have to do to make sure they’re get-ting everything they can out of themselves.”
Chicago got a little something from almost everybody. Eight different defencemen dressed, including 40-year-old Kimmo Timonen, who will retire on top.
The Blackhawks are champions again not because Toews and Patrick Kane were domin-ant but because role players stepped up and scored big goals. Trade-deadline pickup Antoine Vermette had two game-winners in the final, and rookie Teuvo Teravainen was one of the most productive players.
But in a series in which goals were hard to come by, preventing them was the difference. Goaltender Corey Crawford played his part, but Keith, Hjlamarsson, Seabrook and Oduya did the job on Steven Stamkos and the Lightning’s “Triplets” line that thrived through the first three rounds.
Riding the top four on the blue line came out of necessity. But as it worked against the Anaheim Ducks in the Western Conference final, it did again to knock off the Lightning in six for the Blackhawks’ third Cup in six seasons.
“You’re playing to win that game,” coach Joel Quenneville said. “They’re competitive guys. They want to be on the ice. I feel the more defencemen play, your game’s more productive or effective.”
The Blackhawks weren’t always productive and they chased the game at times against the Lightning, who were felled by some bad breaks and some ill-timed mistakes.
A couple of sequences stuck out to Cooper. At one end Crawford turned the puck over to Nikita Kucherov, who instead of scoring crashed into the post and had to leave Game 5.

Bishop collided with defenceman Victor Hedman and Patrick Sharp scored into a completely empty net. In Game 4, Stamkos missed scoring into a similarly open net when Seabrook got a piece of his stick on the puck.
“It’s crazy how those little things have turned out,” Cooper said.
But not so crazy that the Blackhawks came up on the win-ning end of one of this ultra-tight Cup final. Although it’s difficult to quantify, Chicago’s playoff-seasoned core used its experience to close the deal.

You & The LawTYLEEN UNDERWOOD LAW OFFICE presents
You might have heard about “solicitor-client privilege.” It means that what you tell your lawyer must be held in the strictest con� dence. Your lawyer can’t talk about your case to anyone – not even your family – unless you give permission. This privilege covers all communications within the lawyer-client relationship and comes into existence the moment you consult a lawyer for legal advice.
In criminal law cases, this means that what an accused person tells their lawyer will be kept secret. In also applies to other areas of law, including family law, civil lawsuits, wills and estates, contracts, taxation and corporate law.
For example, in one case, Mr. M, a teacher/librarian criminally charged with sexual offences against former students, wanted to see the � le of a lawyer who represented C (a former student) in a civil lawsuit against him for alleged sexual touching. Mr. M wanted the civil � le revealed to help his criminal case – his defence was that C was fabricating the criminal complaint to bolster the civil lawsuit.
The Supreme Court of Canada denied this request because it would have violated C’s solicitor-client privilege.
“This privilege is fundamental to the justice system in Canada…,” said the Court. “The integrity of the administration of justice depends upon the unique role of the solicitor who provides legal advice to clients within this complex system. … [P]eople must be able to speak candidly with their lawyer and so enable their interests to be fully represented.”
There are other types of privilege, for example, for doctor-patient communications and confessions to a priest or minister. But the law doesn’t
give these types of privilege the same level of protection it gives to solicitor-client privilege.
In rare circumstances, the court will set aside the privilege. If there’s a clear and imminent risk of serious harm to other persons, a lawyer (or an expert hired by the lawyer) can reveal what they know as needed to protect them.
Take the case of a client referred by his lawyer to a psychiatrist for an expert report. The client con� ded plans to torture and kill young female prostitutes to the psychiatrist. The Supreme Court of Canada decided that the interests of public safety justi� ed the psychiatrist disclosing the otherwise privileged statement to authorities.
What happens if your former lawyer moves to another � rm, and a lawyer in that � rm acts for the other side in a new matter you’re involved in? In many cases, the other lawyer would have to disqualify themselves.
And most recently, the Supreme Court of Canada again af� rmed the importance of solicitor client privilege. It tossed out certain rules for lawyers the federal government had put in place. These rules would, for example, have allowed searches of lawyers’ of� ces, without warrant, on grounds of sussing out suspected money laundering or terrorist � nancing. The Court said the rules were too broad and unjusti� ably infringed the fundamental principle of solicitor-client privilege.
Rest assured, you can be frank with your lawyer, who will do their utmost to represent your interests fully.

Scoreboard T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - The
Toronto Maple Leafs are filling out new head coach Mike Babcock’s coaching staff.
Jim Hiller, D.J. Smith and Andrew Brewer were named assistant coaches Tuesday, the NHL team announced in a release. Hiller and Brewer worked as assistants under Babcock last season with the Detroit Red Wings.
Hiller grew up in Nelson where he played minor hockey until the midget level. He moved to Saskatchewan in 1987 to play Junior A and also played at the college level with Northern Michigan University and was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in 1989. His NHL career only lasted 63 games, but he found professional success during six sea-
sons in Germany and Italy before returning to Canada to coach in the Western Hockey League in 2002 and a brief stint with the BCHL’s Alberni Bulldogs in 2005-06.
“I’m excited at the opportunity of work-ing again with Mike, and to also add to the value that both D.J. and Andrew bring,” Hiller said. “I’ve been fortunate enough to work with many great organizations - most recently the Red Wings - and am grateful for the chance to now join the Leafs.”
Babcock signed a lucrative long-term deal with the Maple Leafs last month after a 10-year run with the Red Wings.

Dear Annie: A couple of years ago, my husband and I introduced ourselves to our new neighbor. We helped her catch her dog when it took off down the street and lent her our cellphone when her dog locked her out of the car. We waved hello and good-bye. She told us that her husband was in the service. He came home and before we knew it, he was mov-ing out.
The problem is, this woman is now coming home in the wee hours of the morning, sometimes as late as 5 a.m. She often returns slightly drunk and with some random guy. They slam the car doors and beep the horn mul-tiple times trying to lock the car, laughing and talk-ing loudly out in the road. They wake us up all the time.
My husband asked her nicely one day to please use the lock inside the car door instead of using the key fob, which beeps. Well, now when we’re outside, she will beep the car horn for no reason. Her new, live-in boyfriend is a police
officer in a neighboring town, and he likes to beep the horn late at night.
What do you do with a bully cop? How do you complain to the police who usually protect their own? We worry that if we report him, then our kids will be harassed and pulled over by his friends. What can we do? -- Can’t Stand the Sight of Them
Dear Can’t: This immature officer needs to be reported and you should be able to do so anonymous-ly so he cannot be certain who registered the com-plaint. (We suspect plenty of neighbors are as annoyed as you are by the constant horn beeping.) And in the meantime, stop reacting. These childish people enjoy getting a rise out of you.
Ignore the beeping. Wave hello when you see them. Be as friendly as you were before. Wear earplugs at night. Give them no reason to derive satisfaction from taunting you. We hope they grow up soon.
Dear Annie: How do you tell someone that the way she chews gum is exasperating? She chews with her mouth open and makes horrible chomping, slurping noises. -- Feeling Annoyed
Dear Annoyed: Theses types of problems are never easy. You have to be willing to tell your friend that her gum chewing is difficult to witness because of the noise and open-mouth vis-uals. If you can say that nicely, she may try to alter her behavior; however, it is probably ingrained and will take repeated remind-ers. Your other options are to avoid her when she’s chewing gum or tolerate the annoyance because you value enough other things about her to make up for it.
Ann Landers once print-ed a little ditty on the sub-ject, which has often been credited to Ogden Nash:
The gum-chewing stu-dent
And the cud-chewing cow
Look quite alike, but they’re different somehow.
And what is the differ-ence?
I see it all now,It’s the intelligent lookOn the face of the cow.

For Thursday, June 18, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your home routine will be interrupted today. Family arguments, especially with female relatives, might break out. Just stay chill. Use today’s energy to make improvements to garbage, recycling, laundry areas and bathrooms. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Conversations with sib-lings, neighbors and friends will be important today. However, don’t be too insis-tent about getting others to agree with you. Lighten up. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be obsessed with something related to your finances or cash flow. Maybe you want your way about something, or per-haps you are super keen to buy something. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today the Moon is in your
sign opposing big daddy Pluto, which means emo-tional confrontation with others is highly possible. Whatever happens seems to really matter and gets you where you live. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Something hidden or behind the scenes might be revealed today. This is a good day to do serious, focused research, because you are focused and ready to go for the jugular. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might attract a strong female personality to you today. In discussions with others, refrain from trying to improve someone or make him or her over. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Discussions with authority figures might be intense today, because peo-ple think they know best. This means they try to tell other people how to live -- not cool.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Avoid controversial sub-jects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because they will be too hot to handle. People are opin-ionated and intense. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Make sure you know what’s happening regard-ing shared property, debt and inheritances in order to avoid an argument today. If
you keep an open mind, a better solution is possible. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Emotions are stifled today; in fact, jealousy is likely. Knowing this, don’t over-react with anyone. Maintain your cool, and avoid looking like a fool. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Machinery might break down today, and this could affect your job. Even com-
munication can break down, which could lead to argu-ments. Be tactful and coop-erative. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t be pushy with roman-tic partners today. And like-wise, don’t be too pushy with children and young people. Just let this intense moment pass. You don’t have to con-vince anyone of anything. YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent financial savvy.
You are active and lively. You can charm your way into or out of anything. This is the year you have been wait-ing for; it’s a time of great activity and expansion. Use these opportunities! A major change might take place, per-haps as significant as what occurred around 2006. It’s time to test your wings!
