Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue is ready to support neighbouring firefighters with dousing the Stickpin fire, near Grand Forks, should the call be received.

Two-over-one is a bidding system in which the direct response to part-ner’s opener also

shows an opener if it is a new suit at the two-level.

Two Clubs over One Diamond, Two Clubs or Two Diamonds over One Heart and Two Clubs, Two Diamonds or Two Hearts over One Spade are the six cases of two-over-one.

When the new suit at the two-level is in competition, is by a passed hand or is a delayed response then it shows ten plus HCP’s and promises a rebid just as in the Standard American bidding system.

The bidding: South, with his 13 HCP’s, opens One Heart, and North replies Two Clubs which is forcing to game or at least to the four-level. South shows Club support, and North cuebids his first round Diamond control. East doubles for a diamond lead. South passes to see if North can redouble confirming first round control.

South then cuebids first round Heart control

and North shows first round Spade con-trol.

That is all the cuebidding South needs to hear. He then bids Four Clubs which is 1430 minorwood asking for keycards in the agreed-upon suit, Clubs. A response of Four Diamonds shows one or four keycards and a response of Four Hearts shows zero or three keycards. Four Spades is two keycards without the Club Queen and Four No Trump is two keycards with the Club Queen.

North has three keycards, and South knows two additional things. One of North’s cuebids, likely Diamonds, was a void not an Ace and a grand slam is a good possibility. South bids Four

Spades, telling partner they have first round control in every suit, to ask if partner has the Club Queen. The next step up says no and Six Clubs says yes with no outside King. South could bid Seven Clubs but decides to bid the major grand for the extra 70 points.

The Play: The Diamond Jack is led which is ruffed in dummy. Declarer draws trump and claims. His last dia-mond goes on the long Clubs. Declarer gets +2210 for the major grand. Seven Clubs would be +2140.

Additionally, the group has given about $5,000 for upkeep of the hospital gardens and, each year, a $1,000 bursary is given to a Grade 12 J.L. Crowe student committed to studies in medicine.

“We also have a youth volunteer pro-gram,” said Ferro. “These volunteers certainly are looked upon favourable for the scholarship, if they are continuing in an aspect of the medical field.”

Age nor gender matter, the auxiliary welcomes anyone who will commit a few hours each week.

“All we are asking is if people are willing to donate their time at two hours per week,” she said. “Health care

has always been front and centre in our com-munity and I think if we didn’t have the aux-

iliary for this facility, people would be spend-ing a lot of dollars and time going elsewhere

for their health care.”Volunteers can

pick up an application form, which includes

consent to a criminal record check (no cost) at the gift shop or by calling 250.368.8391.

Volunteers for the Trail Hospital Auxiliary has dwindled to 44, which is half the member-base the society has historical run daily operations with. Val McClelland has stepped out from her behind the scene duties to help man the information desk and gift shop in the lobby of Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital. The organization is urging community members to join the auxiliary, which is only a two-hour per week commitment.

B y T i m e s s T a f fThe sound of children playing

will again be heard at the Knights of Pythias Park in Salmo. Two and a half years after an old structure was removed for safety reasons, a new playground is slated for completion this fall.

The playground — and sev-eral other park upgrades total-ling $100,000 — has been made possible in part by $65,000 from Columbia Basin Trust. Other con-tributors include the Regional District of Central Kootenay, Western Financial and the Village

of Salmo.Knights of Pythias Park is the

main park in the village and the heart of community activities, special events, sports and outdoor gatherings. The planned improve-ments will upgrade the facilities, amenities and grounds of the park to meet the needs of the com-munity, residents and visitors of all ages.

“The children of Salmo will once again have a community playground,” said Salmo Mayor Stephen White. “Thanks to the dedication and cooperation of res-

idents, council members, and our chief administrative officer, who came together to secure funding that will allow this community vision to become a reality. The new playground would not have been possible without the support of the Columbia Basin Trust.”

Specific improvements include the installation of a new play-ground, maintenance and upgrades to the ball fields and dugouts, sand and waterlines to the campsites, concession stand design and the preparation of a master plan for the park.

“This project is a great example of teamwork,” said Kelvin Saldern, community liaison for Columbia Basin Trust. “Over 50 concerned community members came together to form a parks working group, which then worked with the local chamber of commerce and the village. Even the children got directly involved by voting on which playground design they prefer.”

Columbia Basin Trust supports efforts to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Columbia Basin.

Getting rid of menus, tables, pots and pans, has the Gulch General Store back in business with a renewed operating licence from the City of Trail.

The owners took necessary action to satis-fy the building department requirements per-taining to the building bylaw contravention, confirmed Michelle McIsaac, the city's corporate officer.

“Removing the food service area and cooking equipment and thereby returning the building classification to retail/mercantile,” she said.

“The 2015 business licence ... has just recently been issued to the owner for renewal purposes.”

However, it will not be business as usual for Mike's Plumbing and Heating – the second business run out of the same location. Manager Casey LeMoel informed the city in a letter dated Aug. 9, that he was cancelling the plumbing company’s business licence.

McIsaac noted that LeMoel's cancellation does not guarantee cessation of operations. Trail council agreed that intermittent inspections and follow up would be prudent to ensure plumbing services are not being provided.

Darrell and Wendy LeMoel, owners of two Rossland Avenue businesses, appeared before council in an April 29 show cause hearing.

The matter simmered since January when the city withheld licence renewals for the Gulch General Store and Mike's Plumbing and Heating due to ongoing infractions of Trail's building bylaws.

According to the city's business bylaw, carry-ing out work without required qualifications is considered gross misconduct and a public risk. Additionally, under the BC Plumbing Code, if an apprentice is on the job site, all work must be under complete supervision of a certified plumb-er or journeyman with respective certification.

The city maintained that while LeMoel pro-vided copies of his and another employee's apprenticeship registration, he failed to provide proof of the required supervision.

FROM PAGE 1back in Cranbrook in 2003, he said, which was comparable to this busy fire season.

So far this year, the Southeast Fire Centre has seen 554 fires, which have burned 10,515 hectares. Of these 482 were lightning-caused and the rest person-caused (72). In 2003, this time of year, the region saw 593 fires burn 44,205 hectares.

Local fire crews did assist with the Pend d’Oreille fire in 2007 but only by keeping watch during the wee hours.

“But it didn’t come to what the Rock

Creek fire was,” Martin explained. “It stayed in the forrest so the wildfire management branch looked after it.

“And also, if you remember cor-rectly, that fire blew up, as they say, but then a huge weather event came in and started raining and kind of helped extinguish it. It went away as quick as it blew up.”

The Pend d’Oreille fire burned to nearly 4,000 hectares and was con-tained and controlled within 30 days. It took 104 days to suppress but much of this number represents the mop-up stage, where firefighters went into the

once out of bounds perimeter to con-trol the hot grounds, making sure no other fires started up.

The Stickpin fire is experiencing very smoky conditions, which is cre-ating low visibility issues that are limiting air access and reconnais-sance for the fire, according to Karlie Shaughnessy of the Southeast Fire Centre.

There is an information meeting scheduled for today at 6 p.m. at the Grand Forks Secondary School and another planned for 8 p.m. tonight at the Christina Lake Community Hall.

B y T o m F l e T c h e rBC Local News

VICTORIA – The B.C. legis-lature is being recalled Sept. 28 for a fall session that will likely deal with increasing penalties for distracted driving and care-less smoking.

The B.C. government has signalled its intention to increase penalties in both areas. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced preliminary results of public consultation on dis-tracted driving penalties at the end of June, with 90 per cent of respondents calling for stiffer penalties for using smartphones while driving.

Anton said the current $167 ticket for distracted drivers is

not sufficient for repeat offend-ers, who could have their vehi-cles impounded.

Saskatchewan has intro-duced a one-week seizure of the vehicle for drivers who get two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart.

After dry conditions sparked an early start to the B.C. for-est fire season, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced a review of penalties for violating campfire bans and tossing lit cigarettes.

Thomson appointed Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a former RCMP super-intendent, to lead a similar review of those penalties. Morris said he was considering the

vehicle impoundment option for careless tossing of cigarette butts, and prohibiting people from camping in provincial parks if they violate campfire restrictions.

Fire bans allow use of camp stoves or barbecues with bri-quets for cooking, but conserva-tion officers continue to find people lighting wood fires that give off sparks and can spread in dry conditions.

The fall session will com-plete an unusually busy year for the B.C. legislature, which was recalled in July to authorize a project development agreement for the Pacific Northwest LNG gas export project proposed for Prince Rupert.

T h e m a p l e r i d g e - p i T T m e a d o w s N e w sMaple Ridge council has asked B.C. Housing

to work towards ending its shelter contract with the Salvation Army’s Caring Place.

“Council has advised the Salvation Army of our decision and expressed heartfelt thanks for their years of service to our community,” Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read said.

“We’re striving to create a service provision ecosystem based on concrete results. We’re looking at the outcomes for every dollar spent by service providers on this issue in the com-munity, their performance metrics, and their impact on the surrounding neighbourhoods.”

Council feels the city needs a different shelter provider, while some have raised concerns about the shelter model, in general.

“What we have seen in the conversations in the community is that our citizens have lost faith in the Salvation Army as well,” Read added. “It is time to act.”

Council has also asked B.C. Housing to review its service agreement with the Alouette Home Start Society, in relation to the operation of Alouette Heights, and to amend the agree-ment to better meet the needs of the commun-ity. Those needs would be identified by Maple Ridge council.

B y r o B e r T B a r r o NNanaimo Daily NewsHumpback whales

are making a come-back in the waters of the Strait of Georgia.

Simon Pidcock is the owner of Cowichan Bay-based Ocean EcoVentures which offers whale-watch-ing tours. He said he came across the first humpback whale he had ever seen in the area in 1997. He now sees approximately 70 individual humpback whales in the strait on a regular basis.

“We seem to see more and more of them everyday,” he said. “People usu-ally come to us to see

killer whales and we’ve become well-known for that over the years, so having the hump-back whales return to local waters is an added bonus and some customers are now even coming strictly to see these whales.”

By the time com-mercial whaling in B.C. waters and elsewhere was finally ended in the 1960s, there were as few as 1,500 hump-backs left in the entire north Pacific Ocean.

In fact, Nanaimo was home to one of the whaling stations that hunted and processed the whales.

The whaling com-pany Pacific Whaling

built a station at Piper’s Lagoon in 1907 and, that year, beached 97 humpback whales at nearby Shack Island.

Soon after, in 1909, most of the commer-cially viable humpback whales in the wat-ers around Nanaimo were slaughtered and the station at Piper’s Lagoon was disman-tled and moved to the Queen Charlotte Islands, now called Haida Gwaii.

But their numbers have rebounded since the end of the com-mercial hunt and it’s now estimated that there are approximate-ly 20,000 humpback whales in the north

Pacific Ocean, with increasing numbers of them coming into the Strait of Georgia to feed all the time.

Caitlin Birdsall, a member of the Vancouver Aquarium’s B.C. Cetacean Sightings Network, said it’s estimated that

up to 4,000 hump-back whales may now regularly visit B.C.’s coast and the Strait of Georgia, particu-larly in the summer months.

She said the whales are slowly returning to their historic habitats as their numbers grow

where their prey, like herring and krill, are abundant and there appears to be sufficient numbers of those spe-cies in local waters this summer.

But Birdsall said there’s insufficient data at this stage to determine exactly

how many humpback whales are regularly visiting the strait.

“We are hoping to see their numbers con-tinue to recover, but now they have new challenges to face in the area,” Birdsall said.

“These waters are much busier than they were a century ago and now we’re seeing more vessel strikes on the whales so we’re advis-ing people to give them space and go around them. We’re also see-ing more whales get-ting caught in fish nets and gear.”

Birdsall said report-ing and cataloging humpback whales, and all other whales, in the Straight of Georgia is very important for sci-entists to get a sense of just how many whales are visiting local wat-ers and their behaviour while they are here.

most senior police officer charged over mass arrests made during the Toronto’s G20 summit five years ago was found guilty on three out of five offences at a disci-plinary hearing on Tuesday.

Retired Ontario judge John Hamilton, who had been pre-siding over the case, found Supt. David Fenton guilty of two of three counts of unnecessary exercise of authority and one of two counts of dis-creditable conduct.

Hamilton said Fenton is committed

to serving the public but was working with a lack of understanding of the public’s right to protest when he chose to order the boxing in and mass arrest of pro-testers five years ago.

“This case is about the order that Supt. Fenton made and the consequences that fell from them,” he said. “Legitimate protesters ... had the right not to be subject to arrest for making noise, chant-ing and sitting in the public street.”

Fenton had pleaded not guilty to a total of five Police Services Act charges stem-ming from two “ket-tling” incidents that

occurred during the chaotic 2010 summit weekend.

The first took place on Saturday, June 26, 2010, hours after a small group of van-dals smashed windows and set police cruisers alight.

Fenton ordered officers to box in pro-testers in front of a downtown hotel. More than 260 people were arrested and taken to a makeshift processing centre, which came under severe criticism for its deplorable con-ditions.

The second inci-dent occurred the next day when, six minutes after coming on shift,

Fenton ordered police to keep scores of people standing for hours at a downtown intersec-tion despite a severe thunderstorm that left them drenched.

Hamilton said Fenton was charged with discreditable con-duct because he had a responsibility to pro-tect detainees from the harsh weather.

Fenton was found not guilty of a second count of discreditable conduct for detaining

people at the hotel because those people “were not subject to unduly harsh condi-tions,” Hamilton wrote in his ruling.

Hamilton said Fenton’s decision to order mass arrests of the crowds in both cases was an unnecessary exercise of authority, and he had no legal or prob-able grounds to arrest people for breach of peace or conspiracy to commit mischief.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - The three

main federal leaders battled Tuesday over which of them is best equipped to manage Canada’s economy as invest-ors licked their wounds and North American stock mar-kets bounced back from the previous day’s dizzying dive.

Stephen Harper was asked about the previous day’s phone conversation with the governor of the Bank of Canada, which was publi-cized by the Prime Minister’s Office on a day of widespread market anxiety.

It’s the prime minister’s job to watch the economy, Harper told supporters in Quebec City, and if his opponents have a problem with that, they shouldn’t be running to replace him as prime minister, he said.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair has characterized Harper’s discussion with Stephen Poloz as a sign that the Conservative economic plan isn’t working.

Harper wouldn’t reveal details of the conversation, but seized on the question as a chance to promote his government’s strategy - a bal-anced budget, low taxes and affordable investments - as the right choice.

“You do not - as any finan-cial planner will tell you, whether it’s from the prime minister on down - you do not run around and change your plans based on daily market news,” he said.

“You have a long-term plan and you stick to it.”

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau unveiled members of his economic team in Toronto and was joined by former prime minister Paul Martin, who helped slay the federal deficit during his time as finance minister in the 1990s.

Martin touted his track record: eight budget surplus-es, cutting government debt, and reducing Canada’s debt ratio to one of the lowest in the G7.

“While the challenges today are different, very dif-ferent than a generation ago, they are no less severe,” Martin said.

“But the Liberal party, again, has the right team, made up of the right people to take on the vacuum that has been left by the Conservative government for the last nine years.”

Trudeau said Harper’s economic plan has failed the middle class by seeking to make wealthy people wealth-ier and “to give the most to those who need the least.”

Mulcair, who began a day of campaigning in southwest-ern Ontario with a stop in Hamilton, insisted that an NDP government wouldn’t need to run a deficit to finance its promises and would bring in a balanced budget next year.

Mulcair has not yet released the full costing of his platform, but he took swipes at the past records of the Conservatives and Liberals.

“Mr. Harper has taken an approach - he’s following in the footsteps of the Paul Martin Liberals and it’s the same mistake,” Mulcair said. “Giving tens of billions of dollars in tax reductions to Canada’s richest corporations didn’t create jobs.”

Harper took his own shot at Martin, noting that the Liberals “lost control of the deficit” during the relative economic stability of the 1990s, and balanced the budget by raising income taxes.

Martin’s appearance marked the second day in a row that an elder party statesman accompanied of the leaders in a campaign appearance.

On Monday, Stephen Lewis, the former Ontario NDP leader and international diplomat, said Mulcair’s 35 years in politics has made him the strongest prospect yet to become Canada’s first New Democrat prime min-ister.

Amid swooning markets, leaders battle over who’s best suited to manage economy

Senior police officer found guilty of three charges in G20 disciplinary hearing

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Sen. Mike Duffy’s

trial on charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery is poised to take a break until November - after the Oct. 19 federal election.

Ontario Court justice Charles Vaillancourt says the trial - which had been expected to sit through Friday - will adjourn at day’s end until its next scheduled window, which isn’t for several months.

The Crown had been expected to call a long-awaited witness: Gerald Donohue, a friend of Duffy’s who was given Senate

office contracts that are alleged to be fraudulent.

But defence counsel Donald Bayne says he has a personal issue that might keep him away from the courtroom this week.

Vaillancourt says that means there isn’t much point in trying to press ahead right away.

It’s possible that the week set aside for the trial in November won’t be enough; the Crown hasn’t yet called all of its wit-nesses, while the defence has its own witnesses to summon to the stand.

OPINION

Corporations are the new sovereign powerThis electoral sea-

son in Canada has exposed a shock-ing truth: We don’t

really know what a democ-racy is.

The Canadian Press is no help. It has focused on, and become obsessed with, individual party leaders’ popularity as though they were covering a horse race.

Behind the scenes a general malaise has settled over the political land-scape, leaving a far more important question unan-swered in the general rush to power: What’s wrong with our democracy?

Democracy is in our ancient institutions. Ask what they mean, and they’ll tell you that vot-ing once every four or five years is what the public does to exert its democrat-ic will. The rest of the time, elected politicians exercise power in our name.

Those perceptions are inadequate to describe the complex beast that is mod-ern democracy.

Some scholars - A.C. Grayling prominent among them - contend we’re not a democracy at all. They believe that a democracy means power

to the people. In a proper democracy, all citizens are equally empowered and participate directly in the creation of laws. By this definition, democracy is an ideal, impractical in the large-scale complex soci-eties we have today.

Instead, these scholars tell us that we have a rep-resentative form of gov-ernment. The public elects representatives to makes laws in their name. It may seem like hair-splitting but they have a point. The citizen in a representative democracy is - at least - one step removed from the laws that govern them.

So, let’s accept we have a representative form of government in Canada.

Or do we? Technically, in Canada, the Queen in England is sovereign, not the public. We may believe we’re a representa-tive democracy, but for-mally the Government of Canada rules in her name, not ours.

OK, I can hear the crit-ics moan, this is an ancient myth and the Queen is just a symbol. She doesn’t vote and Prime Minister Stephen Harper is not looking over his shoulder

wondering if the Queen approves of his legislative agenda.

The fact remains, however, that in the Parliamentary System, monarchs still have important constitutional authority. So, it seems cit-izens in Canada are only informally sovereign, and, as such, another giant step removed from the laws that are made in their name.

This monarchial sleight of hand is one of the rea-sons democrats used to admire the United States so much. Unlike the rest of the English-speaking world, the U.S. is an unabashed republic with a constitution explicit-ly defining the public as sovereign. In other words,

it is a representative dem-ocracy without qualifica-tion.

Or is it?It is possible to make the

case that a sovereign public in the United States is also a myth. In Washington, D.C., alone there are more than 11,000 corporate lob-byists spending more than US$3.24 billion (annually) to influence U.S. legisla-tion. As a result, govern-ments at all levels in the U.S. represent the interests of corporations well ahead of the publics.

In Canada, many of the same forces are at work. The National Rifle Association and the U.S. gun industry, for example, lobbied hard and success-fully to eliminate Canada’s long-gun registry. They succeeded, even though the gun-registry was huge-ly popular with the public and supported strongly by the Canadian Association of Police Chiefs.

Throughout the entire Western world the idea of a ‘sovereign’ public is being eroded. Through our own complacency, or because the power of money sim-ply overwhelms constitu-tional principle, the public

is becoming further and further removed from the laws that govern their lives.

Ask yourself whether your member of Parliament truly represents the inter-ests of your constituency?

They don’t. Whatever their political stripe, they’re neutered, disci-plined by whips to vote the party line. But MPs are not alone in their feebleness.

The Harper govern-ment’s assault on the Supreme Court, the Senate and other independent governing institutions is evidence of the powerful forces bent on undermin-ing what’s left of our for-mal and informal checks on executive power.

Canadians are rapid-ly descending into a form of elective autoc-racy. Governments today increasingly represent the interests of powerful cor-porations - the true sover-eigns in Canada.

Now taking orders for California grapes & juices - arriving early!

Having just been on holiday with two very strong-willed little boys aged

8 and 9, I feel particularly well qualified to explain why the two Koreas went to the brink of war over some loud-speakers, but didn’t go over the edge. George and James could explain the process even better themselves, but child labour laws prevent them from writing for newspapers, so I’ll do it for them.

It began with a land-mine explosion in the D e m i l i t a r i s e d Zone between the two coun-tries that severe-ly wounded two South Korean army sergeants. The mine was of an old Soviet design, so Seoul said it must have been put there by North Korea and demanded an apology from Pyongyang.

The North Korean denied it, of course, but Pyongyang gets very upset every year around this time, when South Korea and the United States hold their annual joint mil-itary exercises.

So to punish North Korea, South Korea re-activated the loudspeakers that used to broadcast anti-North Korean propaganda across the DMZ until they were turned off eleven years ago. Nobody could hear the propaganda except North Korean soldiers on the other side of the DMZ, so it’s hard to see what actual harm it was doing, but North Korea rose to the bait with alacrity.

Last Thursday afternoon, North Korean troops fired a

rocket and several artillery shells at the loudspeakers, though none seem to have hit them. South Korea responded with a barrage of dozens of 155mm artillery rounds, which led North Korean lead-er Kim Jong-un (the pudgy one with the very bad haircut) to declare a “semi-state of war” and set a 48-hour dead-line for the loudspeakers to be turned off.

Otherwise, Kim said, his troops would carry out

“indiscriminate strikes” against the South. This would have been a grave threat if he actually meant it, since most of Seoul, a city of 25 mil-lion people, is within artillery range of the DMZ, but the Saturday dead-

line passed without further shooting.

Instead, urgent talks began on Saturday in the “truce” village of Panmunjom, in the middle of the DMZ, between Hwang Pyong-so, the political director of the North Korean armed forces, and Kim Kwan-jin, national security adviser to the South Korean presi-dent.

The talks lasted more than three days, with the South Korean loudspeakers still blaring out and North Korean artillery, landing craft and submarines moving towards the frontiers. “If nothing is agreed, we have to continue the broadcasting,” said the South Korean representative at the talks. “We are tired of speaking the language of escalation.”

That last sentence didn’t even make sense. Were Kim Kwan-jin and his North Korean counterpart really flirting with the idea of a war that would certainly kill hundreds of thousands of people, and might even turn nuclear, over some loudspeak-ers? Maybe, but there was a distinct lack of panic in other capitals, and in the end they made a deal.

That brings us back to the two litle boys. Siblings who are close in age, even if they are friends, are also rivals, and they generally squabble a lot. They often get locked into quarrels over matters of little or no importance and seem unable to walk away from them.

What keeps these struggles from ending in real violence, and usually restores order in the end, is adult intervention. Even if they resent it, the kids also secretly welcome it, because it frees them from the trap of their own emotions.

The adults, in this case, are the great-power allies of the two Koreas: China for the North, and the United States for the South. It’s not that Americans and Chinese are really more grown-up than Koreans, but being farther away, they could see how petty the confrontation really is, and they had no intention of being dragged into a war over it.

So in the end North Korea expressed “regret” about the land-mine, and South Korea turned off the loudspeakers, and everybody lived grumpily ever after. Or something like that.

By Jim BaileyTimes Sports EditorTwenty years ago to

the day, Greater Trail wrapped up arguably the most prestigious and memorable event in its sporting his-tory – the Babe Ruth World Series. This is the last of a three-part series in which the Trail Times revisits the tournament that ran from Aug. 19-26, 1995; highlighting its evolu-tion, its players, and those that made the event possible.

Trail’s build up and preparation for the Babe Ruth age 16-18 World Series was a massive effort, but when players finally hit the Butler Park dia-mond it was all busi-ness as the Trail Jays began their run at a World Series title.

Ten teams, includ-ing the first invitation-al team from Tsukui, Japan, competed in the World Series. Teams from Stamford, Conn., Delaware, PA., Newark, Ohio, Omaha, Neb., Nederland, Tex., Sarasota, Fla., San Luis Obispo, CA., and Vancouver, Wash., rounded out the field.

“At that age, you’re playing the best from each region, and it was really good baseball,” said D. J. Ashman, outfielder for the Trail Jays ‘95 squad. “We’d obviously played grow-ing up in (age) 14-15 teams and then when we were 16, we played some tough teams in the Regionals, but the World Series are just that much better.”

Most of Trail’s ‘95 team had played ball together since they were kids. Many played on the Trail Little League team that won the nationals and went to the 1990 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.

The ‘95 Trail Eagles,

as they were known then, played in the Washington State American Legion League and had just won their first dis-trict championship and finished third at State to qualify for the American Legion World Series.

“It was almost identical to the Little League World Series team . . . the good core was definitely still there from Little League and if you’re successful at one age, you end up kind of doing the same thing,” said Ashman, now a longtime coach of Trail Little League.

On the way to the District championship, the team suffered a cru-cial loss when a young Jason Bay injured his ankle and was lost for the World Series. Nevertheless, good news soon followed when Trail learned that Todd Thompson and Matt Mason would be available to play, and would return from Team Canada’s Youth team that lost at the World Youth Baseball championship in Massachusetts.

The transformation from the Trail Eagles to the Jays was com-plete when the Toronto Blue Jays helped out-fit the team with new Trail Jays uniforms.

Then, after legend-ary Yankees third base-man and American League president Dr. Bobby Brown and B.C. Premier Mike Harcourt threw out the first pitch at the Opening Ceremony, the Jays were finally ready to “Play Ball!”

The team was led by coach and San Francisco Giant draft pick, Jim Wasem of Spokane, and assist-ants Jason Startup and David Colquhoun of Fruitvale. Wasem had

coached the Eagles for the past two years and was all-too famil-iar with their winning tradition.

“It’s a good group of kids, they’ve come a long way from the Little League World Series that most of

them went to,” Wasem told the Times. “These guys expect to win every game and they expect to win every

championship.”Winning is precisely

how the Jays started the tournament, defeating the Japanese

team 12-4 in their first match Saturday, and beating Nederland, Texas on Sunday 3-1.

FROM PAGE 9The experience of playing in front

of a more-than-packed house, was exciting for Trail players unaccus-tomed to such attention.

“Obviously none of us had played in front of 7,500 people before,” said Ashman. “I just remember it was almost like you weren’t play-ing baseball, because there were so many things going on . . . it was like you were playing at a minor league baseball field.”

Trail’s luck would turn for the worse in the next game and the Jays would be knocked down to the loser’s bracket in a 5-3 loss to Sarasota, Fla.

They would then face elimina-tion in a game against Delaware. In a classic pitcher’s duel, the score remained 0-0 until the sev-enth when David Caron’s walk-off single scored Darrin McCarthy to give Trail a 1-0 victory in front of a frenzied crowd of 6,312 fans.

San Luis Obispo meanwhile had defeated Nederland, Tex. in a wild 8-1 game highlighted by a bench clearing brawl in the fifth inning that saw the Nederland catcher get run over for a second time by a California player. The win would set up an elimination match with Trail.

In that semi-final qualifier, Ashman would send Trail’s hopes soaring when he launched a two-

run home run to give the Jays a 2-0 lead in the third inning.

“Just having the fans behind you is just one of those feelings I’m probably never going to have in my life again, it was awesome,” said Ashman. “It was basically a once in a lifetime thing.”

Yet, San Luis Obispo would bat-tle back and win it 7-6 to eliminate Trail from the World Series.

The Vancouver, Wash. Team, meanwhile, rolled through the ser-ies going undefeated and beating San Luis Obispo 6-1 in the final to capture its second World Series title in four years.

Despite the Trail loss, the Babe Ruth World Series was not only a defining moment in Trail sporting history, it helped local talent move onto bigger and better things.

“To put it in perspective,” said Ashman. “I think our whole starting nine ended up playing college base-ball of some sort. If I went around the diamond, everybody played: Matt Mason, Mark Profili, me, Todd Thompson, Darrin McCarthy, Dave Caron, Jeff Sell, Dave Profili, and (Jason) Bay.”

The ‘95 Babe Ruth World Series had its challenges and its detract-ors, but for a small town in south-eastern B.C. to host a world class event, in world class fashion was an exceptional accomplishment. It left a state of the art facility in Butler Park and an enduring sense of pride - but perhaps its greatest legacy is still to come.

“We seen the bleachers going up, it was just crazy seeing all that stuff going on,” added Ashman. “I don’t know how they pulled it off. It was one of those things that was just ridiculous, but you know what? I wish we could do it again to be honest.”

Last week the Columbia Basin River Dogs beat Alabama 3-0 in Klamath Falls, Oregon to win the 2015 Babe Ruth World Series.

Kimberley

The search for another Sullivan Mine continuesB y C a r o l y n G r a n t

Kimberley BulletinHope springs eter-

nal, especially in the hearts of prospectors and geologists.

Scott Broughton, President and CEO of Santa Fe Metals Corp. (SFM) has been on the hunt for another Sullivan Mine type sedimentary exhala-tive (SEDEX) deposit. His latest venture is drilling on the Sully project about 30 kilo-metres due east of Kimberley. A drill pro-gram commenced on the Sully property in 2014 and was not shut down for lack of find-ings, but for lack of

money.In early 2014 SFM’s

Project Team defined twin parallel vertical masses, the EAST and WEST Targets at the Sully Project.

“We proved last year that these masses occurred at exactly the same geological time as the Sullivan Mine deposit,” Broughton said. “That’s what brings us back to this site.

“Unfortunately we ran out of money last year, but now we are getting traction again. There is interest in zinc especially.”

Broughton was showing some poten-

tial Chinese investors the project this week, and says that every-thing is in place to begin drilling by October at the latest.

What makes the project so compelling, Broughton says, is that science points to there being more than one massive SEDEX deposit in this basin.

“The Sullivan Basin itself is very large and it makes sense that where there was one, there’s another.”

Broughton explains that these deposits were once “black smokers” at the bot-tom of an ocean.

“You need a basin that’s shallow and quite —not a lot of other minerals drift-ing in. All these little grains of sulphides come up through the vent. The Sullivan Mine was one that occurred. You’d need them to be about 30 kilometres apart for another to occur.

“So many pieces of the puzzle overlap in one place.”

That place is the Sully Project.

One of the problems in finding another SEDEX deposit in this basin is that it really needs a massive drill program, which jun-ior mining companies

cannot do.“A junior company

can usually afford one or two holes that might be meaningful,” Broughton said. “But it doesn’t work that way. It’s such a com-pelling target, it needs millions to properly explore it.

“But we’re per-sisting. If we do drill some massive sul-phides, we’ll have an unlimited amount of money to explore fur-ther.”

Broughton says that in the last drill program the last hole just missed inter-secting the eastern target. The theory is that the drill hole did hit Sullivan time at the appropriate depth but that smaller faults at depth shifted the deposit, so the hole just missed.

“The most recent hole completed (SU14-09) is estimated to have passed within 100-m of the EAST mass based on down hole mag-field and temperature measure-ments,” a SFM press release says.”

Management and the Sully Project Team believe that the geophysical masses are best explained by the presence of high- specific gravity,

SEDEX-style, mas-sive sulphides. The contrast between the specific gravity of typical Sullivan mas-sive sulphides and the sedimentary coun-try rock is particu-larly well suited to modern gravity tech-niques. Sully’s targets present a discovery opportunity based on their Sullivan-size geophysical anom-alies and confirmed Sullivan-time geo-logical setting.”

Planned explora-tion for 2015 and 2016 includes additional detailed gravity meas-urements followed by ongoing drill test-ing at the EAST and WEST targets. The overall program will be results-oriented and will evolve as new information is learn-ed.

Attempts to raise funds to expand the program will be ongoing, hence the visit with Chinese investors this week.

“I still get all tingly just thinking about it,” Broughton said. “It’s so difficult to imagine all these puzzle pieces not becoming any-thing that’s not hugely significant in terms of its economics.

“But it comes with risk.”

The brand new Unity Bridge in Kaslo is a 130-foot, 50-tonne com-munity project that cost $201,000 and took eight years to finance.

Officially dedicated on Sunday, it will connect the north and south sides of the Kaslo River Trail, open-ing up new options for hikers — they can now choose between a 3.7 or 10 km loop.

“The name Unity stands for the fact that it unifies the trails, unifies the north and south sides of Kaslo, and it shows what a small group of volunteers can do when they have support from people all over the world,” said society president Val Koenig.

The society was able to raise all but $15,000 of the bridge’s cost through international plaque sales. Over 70 volunteers assisted with the project, and Koenig estimates about 35 per cent of Kaslo’s adult popula-tion belongs to the society.

The timbers used for the bridge were sourced locally from Hamill Creek Timber Homes. Local con-tractors and companies provided free labour and support.

“This bridge is 100 per cent built by volunteers with no paid labour,” said Koenig proudly.

“Gwil Cranes of Castlegar came out with a 200-tonne crane and 141,000 pounds of counterweight to put it in.”

The society received finan-cial contributions from people in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. The bridge was designed by Kaslo baker Silvio Lettrari.

“He designed our first bridge [installed in 2007] and we liked it so much we had him do the second one the same,” Koenig said.

One enhancement of the Unity Bridge is that it’s entirely wheel-chair-accessible.

And though they did receive funding from Columbia Basin Trust, 90 per cent of the funds were either sourced locally or came through bridge plaque sales.

Koenig said the society will now focus on the trail-building aspect of their mandate. They plan to extend trails out towards South Fork, and ultimately cross the highway to connect to the Kaslo-Sandon wagon road.

Leisure

Dear Annie: My husband, “Ben,” and I each lost a spouse and then found each other. We live in the same house with one of his daugh-ters and a granddaughter. Ben is quite attached to this house. The two daughters are the owners now, but their father bought it originally and has always maintained it.

The daughter who lives here has a neurological disorder, which keeps her from accepting me. She has only spoken to me by name two or three times, although she knows how to blow up at us when something makes her angry. I try to greet her every morning with a family nickname that she likes, but she still only grunts in reply.

It seems that she has influenced the granddaughter to resent me, as well. I have tried to put my foot down on occasion, but mostly, I just meekly defend myself from her criticism. My husband feels sorry for her and she fawns over him, so he believes that she can do no wrong. He cannot hear well, so he

is unaware of how she speaks to me. I’ve asked Ben about moving to

a place of our own, but he won’t do it. He also doesn’t like the idea of paying rent when he has a place to live for free. And his daughter wants him to stay because he does all of the upkeep and pays the bills.

Annie, I cringe when I hear one of these girls coming, and I hide if I can. I have prayed about my anger and tried to overcome the fear I feel at an encounter. Ben would not condone my going for counseling, as he is a minister himself. Is there anything I can do? -- Coming In Third

Dear Third: You do not need Ben’s permission to get counsel-ing to help you deal with an unfair and unpleasant situation that he is perpetuating. Was the living situa-tion discussed in advance? Did you agree to live with his daughter

forever? Your minister husband should be aware that spouses prom-

ise to put each other first when they marry. He has not done this. Please get counseling with or without Ben. You also may need to get a place of your own to find peace, and if Ben refuses to relocate with you, suggest that he visit often.

Dear Annie: Some close friends of ours

have become lazy hosts. When we have a party at our home, we pro-vide the food and other items. If we have a potluck, each guest brings a dish and we provide the main course and the drinks.

For these friends, the last few birthday parties have been at res-taurants where we paid for our own meals. The “hosts” might bring a cake, but the rest of us are expected to bring a gift to the honoree.

This seems cheap to me. We

enjoy getting together, but would appreciate a little more effort. Otherwise, they aren’t hosting the party at all. We are. -- Not So Social in Louisville, Ky.

Dear Not So: If you are pay-ing your own way, then they are

not hosting the event. However, it is not uncommon for a bunch of friends to get together to celebrate someone’s birthday, in which case, there is no host at all. We hope they reciprocate for your lovely home hospitality in some other way.
