Trail's place on the inter-national blooming scene will soon be planted by judges, who may not have to look too far for some of the city's toughest competition.

For the first time, Castlegar is competing against the Silver City in an international Communities in Bloom com-petition for a population of under 10,000.

The neighbouring cities are facing off against Pembroke, Ont; Citta di Savigliano, Cueno (Italy); and Sidmouth, Deven (UK).

Two international judges arrive July 18 for a two-day visit that will include a tour of the city's quaint neighbour-hoods, facilities and summer festivities.

“Let's face it, it doesn't mat-ter who wins,” said Dan Rodlie, Trail Community in Bloom (CiB) chair.

“Just to be recognized like that brings people in and they know when they come to a town with a full-bloom rating that there are certain standards upheld.”

Trail has kept its standards high for over a decade, scoring the maximum five-bloom rat-ing for 10 of the 11 years it's competed in the competition that invites judges into com-munities to rate criteria like tidiness, environmental action and floral displays.

A city has to work its way up the ranks – winning in it's pro-vincial and national categories before it can even be judged at the international level.

The smelting town has come a long way since it first signed up in 2002.

“They're not just looking at the flowers, they're looking at what we do to make this city liveable,” added Rodlie's wife Lana.

“We're trying to say this is an international city, you want to come here because we have everything.”

CiB is celebrating Trail's Scottish heritage this year by transforming the Gyro Park walkway into "Avenue of the Clans,” where nearly 30 ban-ners made from tartan pat-terns of Trail's Scottish pioneer families are being hung from pathway light posts.

After the first bridge was built in 1912, Scottish immi-grants moved across the water to settle downriver in East Trail, which came to be known

as "Little Scotland.”“The judges over the years

have always said that we're missing the boat on our ethnic-ity, that we're not promoting it as we should,” said Rodlie. “We are, as they consider, of a European flair.”

Unlike a routinely quiet visit, these judges will be in for a lively treat, which is sure to show off the city's community spirit.

They will take part in the Avenue of Clans ribbon cutting ceremony just before Music in the Park kicks off at Gyro Park

B Y T I M E S S T A F FPolice efforts to arrest a man wanted on out-

standing warrants tragically turned into a river search effort on Wednesday afternoon.

On Thursday, the police issued a press release stating 28-year-old Andrew Lee Evans was classi-fied as missing however presumed drowned.

Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, District Advisory NCO (Media Relations) South East District, said in the release that police attended a home in Glenmerry on Wednesday to arrest Evans on several unen-dorsed arrest warrants.

Evans was seen fleeing upstairs where he jumped from a second storey window. He evaded police and ran into the Columbia River.

The officers notified the Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire/Rescue (KBRFR) and its river res-cue boat was launched.

From the shoreline, officers observed Evans swimming back towards the shore where he clung to a tree branch while speaking with offi-cers on the river's edge.

The release said officers tried to convince Evans to exit the river however, Evans swam away from shore.

The officers maintained visual contact until Evans reached the Rock Island rapids where he disappeared from view for a short time. He resurfaced and appeared to be in distress, said the release, before disappearing again.

Three community schools are breathing a sigh of relief after budget cuts to their youth at risk programs weren’t as deep as originally thought.

At a June board meeting, School District 20 (SD20) superintendent Greg Luterbach revealed a $19,000 budget shortfall in the CommunityLINK program, jeopardizing child and youth at risk programs based out of Webster Elementary, Robson Elementary and Blueberry Creek Community School (BCCS).

After much back and forth on numbers, the board ultimately decided to allocate its $80,000 budget three ways: $40,000 to Robson Elementary; $20,000 to BCCS; and $20,000 to Columbia Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) based out of Webster Elementary.

“We are thankful for the school district’s sup-port and look forward to maintaining that part-nership in the years to come,” said Desneiges Profili, for Trail CBAL.

A local theatre buff has tripped into life as a rock star with Australian band Sonicanimation.

Nadine Tremblay, at times known locally as Liz Stephens from “Ski Bum: The Musical” or an Andrews Sister with “Company Jump,” has taken on a new persona with musical partner and boyfriend Rupert Keiller.

Keiller began working as a DJ in the early 1990s, pri-marily performing in Australia, where he flooded the Melbourne music scene along-side band mate Adrian Cartwright (who is no longer part of the group).

Eight years since the group's last album, Tremblay now adds her voice as co-writer and singer to Sonicanimation's lat-est “Once More From the Bottom,” which was released in March of this year.

The 34-year-old was star struck this spring, when they toured the East Coast of Australia and performed in front of millions.

She is not exiting the theatre stage per say but trying her hand at a new venue.

Mixing music

and flexing her vocal chords under Sonicanimation, she's known as “Sexton Blake,” which means fake in Cockney.

“The first time I DJ'd I was constantly press-ing the synch button instead of beat match-ing properly. This is essentially cheating by most DJ standards and so I thought the name was fitting,” she explained. “It is also the name of a fictional character in numerous mystery novels and I like the sound of it.”

Greater Trail has

liked the sound of Tremblay for nearly a decade.

With a degree in opera and a certifi-cate in musical the-atre from the Canadian College of perform-ing Arts in Victoria, Tremblay has been delighting the local crowds musically in a variety of ways.

She has performed and directed with the Gold Fever Follies and has taught musi-cal theatre and tap at Turning Pointe Dance Studio and Rossland Recreation, with the occasional workshop with Steps Dance. She also co-directed the Rossland Glee Club, “an amateur group of local singers who like to sing an eclectic rep-ertoire to occasional jazz hands.”

In her first and only show with the Rossland Light Opera Players, Tremblay played her dream role of Maria in “The Sound of Music.”

The usher at the

Charles Bailey Theatre was nominated for B.C. Artist of the Year in 2012 for her tribute to the Andrew Sisters in “Company Jump.” The Rossland resident co-wrote, produced and performed the 1940s swing-music styles at least 10 times at Music in the Park in Trail and Castlegar, the BC Seniors Games and all across the East and West Kootenay.

After meeting other professional per-formers in Rossland, Tremblay co-found Iron Mountain Theatre – original musical the-atre from the Alpine City.

The group's most popular show to date, “Ski Bum: The Musical,” toured resort towns across the prov-ince. But other hits like “White Star Lady,” “Mennonite Mafia,” “Tribute to Mining,” and the most recent “Electro Social Club” were also successful offspring.

She adores musical

theatre but grapples with the overhead involved.

“This is not to say that the life of a musi-cian earns me a liv-ing but logistically it is way easier,” she explained. “You don't need to book shows two to three years ahead of time, design a set, create costumes, write a script and cre-ate a lighting plot . . . you just grab your instruments, comput-er, passport, electronic press kit and go.”

P e r f o r m i n g on the fly is what Sonicanimation is all about. The group explores all musical genres—including hip hop, funk and rock – and delivers in a high-energy show.

“We are not to be taken too seriously as the music is pretty humorous and tongue and cheek,” said Tremblay. “I like it for that reason.”

The new album explains why Keiller was at the bottom — or at least what he considered the bottom with jobs sucking his soul, bitter relation-ships and the bank knocking at his door.

That isn't the case anymore. Prior to meeting Tremblay, Keiller finally reached a point in his life where he was com-fortable being himself and was content on his own. Of course when he wasn't looking for love, he found it.

Tremblay's drive only further encour-aged him to get back to his music.

“Nadine is one of those gems that is very rare. She has this amazing, engaging dynamic presence on stage and people are immediately attracted to her,” he said. “She's not afraid of being goofy and theatri-cal, which really fits in with what Sonic is known for.

Concert promoters are offer-ing profuse apologies after the Nazareth concert in Cranbrook came to an abrupt end on Tuesday, July 9, almost as soon as it began.

The Scottish hard rock band was set to begin its western Canadian tour at the Cranbrook Curling Centre on Tuesday night, but 30 seconds into the first song, front man Dan McCafferty col-lapsed on stage, requiring urgent medical attention. The rest of the concert was cancelled.

The band was 90 minutes late coming to the stage; set to begin

at 9:30 p.m., the first song wasn’t played until 11 p.m.

Now concert promoters HM Productions, run by Cranbrook locals Isaac Hockley and Jody McInnes, are handing out refunds and offering apologies to disappointed concertgoers.

“We just want to apologize to everybody who came out to support us. You can get your money back; all you’ve got to do is bring your ticket stubs in to Bridge Interiors,” Hockley told the Townsman on Wednesday.

Some concertgoers were angry that the concert was cancelled, but Hockley said it was com-

pletely out of promoters’ control.“We’ve got to remember we’re

talking about a person here. Number one is his safety,” he said.

McCafferty, 66, suffered a lung problem on stage Tuesday night, Hockley explained. He collapsed because he wasn’t getting enough air.

“He is stable. We’re not sure what’s going on with the rest of the tour; that hasn’t been dis-closed yet,” said Hockley.

HM Productions is committed to providing refunds for every-body with a ticket stub.

“All of the people are getting

their money back, 100 per cent,” Hockley said.

The promoters will lose money from the event, he went on, and they won’t be able to bring any bands to Cranbrook for a few months.

“We want to make sure every-body understands that we’re tak-ing a really big hit here. It’s a contract; we pay a deposit to have Nazareth here. We get them and whatever happens after that, that’s what happens,” said Hockley, adding that promot-ers have other expenses such as sound, facility rental and insur-ance.

FROM PAGE 1and the entertainment will continue the following day when they indulge in the Trail Market’s sights, sounds and tastes.

Trail’s nearly 50 parks — 105 acres of sports, passive and green space — will eat up much of the city tour.

“The judges like to see that we’re actually using our parks because really we have more parks than Penticton,” laughed Rodlie.

Tours will highlight the continuous work on the White Garden (a recreation of the Sissinghurst Castle Garden in England located at the end of the Esplanade), a new garden at the top of the Glover Road hill that features a rock wall, a new playground in Sunningdale and interpretive signage that explains the significance of Trail’s historical murals.

Though city flowerbeds are missing some abun-dance in downtown Trail this year, as construction limited planting in front of the Trail Memorial Centre and a few other spots along Victoria Avenue, volunteers are out adding last minute touches of colour.

Residents and business owners are encouraged to jump on board and polish their yards and storefronts.

The body of a male was recovered from Little Wilson Lake on Tuesday in the area where a Trail resident went missing on May 25.

Although there is not a positive identification that the remains are those of 32-year-old Michael Guthrie, who was presumed drowned in the lake after his canoe capsized, police did confirm that the family of Guthrie has been notified of the recovery.

The body was transported to the BC Coroner Services in Vernon where an autopsy was sched-uled for Thursday, Sgt. Darryl Little of the Kootenay Boundary Detachment said in a press release.

The initial examination of the body did not reveal evidence of foul play, he said.

The Slocan Lake RCMP received a call Tuesday afternoon, from three males who were camping in the area, to report they had found a body floating face down in the lake, located near New Denver.

Brian Hall, age 59, has been identified as the Rossland resident killed following an off-road motor-cycling accident on July 2.

The BC Coroners Service con-firmed his identity this week and continue, with the RCMP, to inves-tigate his death.

Last week, Trail and Greater District RCMP and BC Coroner Services attended the scene of the fatal motorcycle collision after

receiving a report of an apparent accidental death of a dirt bike rider.

The deceased failed to show up at a friend’s house after a day of dirt biking alone on July 2.

The two friends commenced a search on July 3 and located Hall that morning in a heavily treed area several kilometres from Casino, south of Trail.

Scene examination revealed that Hall had lost control of his bike and collided with a tree sustaining an instantly fatal injury as a result.

scene as Evans disappeared from view for the second time. A search of the area leading to the U.S. bor-der failed to locate Evans. U.S. law enforcement and rescue agencies were notified of the incident.

The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO) was notified Wednesday but will not be assert-

ing jurisdiction in the matter. The IIO investigates officer-relat-ed incidents of deaths or serious harm.

Although Evans is presumed drowned, he is listed as missing.

He is five-foot-eight, 135 pounds and wearing a white shirt and green/blue shorts. If the public has any information please contact the Trail and Greater District RCMP.

K e l o w n a C a p . n e w sPremier Christy

Clark offered her thanks tonight for We s t s i d e - K e l o w n a byelection voters wel-coming her with “open arms and open hearts” to become their next MLA.

Clark easily won the byelection with more than 62.7 per cent of the popular vote, an increase over the 58 per cent mark achieved by Liberal candidate Ben Stewart in the May 14 provincial election.

One of Clark’s

campaign platforms was her ability she said to deliver on her promises to Westside-Kelowna constituents as the premier, and she will hit the road running with a press conference tomorrow to announce further road patching and pavement funding for the troubled Westside Road, ranked as the most dangerous road in the province.

During her victory speech at the Delta Grand surrounded by hundreds of support-ers, Clark noted her commitment to pursue making Westside Road a safer and scenic drive, to start the planning process for a second Okanagan Lake bridge

crossing, a new health centre that includes mental health care ser-vices, building on the post-secondary skills training foundation set by UBC Okanagan and Okanagan College and to encourage a thriv-ing high tech develop-ment industry.

She also addressed the people who did not vote for her in the bye-lection, saying that “if you did not vote for me tonight, I will work hard to get your vote four years from now.”

Clark also saluted Stewart for sacrificing his MLA seat, placing the interests of the Liberal Party ahead of his own personal inter-ests. “I have never seen anybody with the work

ethic and commitment that Ben has,” said Clark.

Stewart also served as Clark’s byelection campaign chairman, and the premier said he will continue to play an advisory role for her and the govern-ment.

Clark also revived the spirit of W.A.C. Bennett and his son Bill Bennett, both long serving premiers of B.C. who helped put Kelowna and the Okanagan on the map. “The people of West Kelowna deserve noth-ing less so lets get on with it with vigour and energy,” she said.

Fellow Central Okanagan Liberal MLAs Steve Thomson (Kelowna-Miss ion) and Norm Letnick ( K e l o w n a - L a k e Country) both said it’s great for the region to have the premier as a local MLA, an opinion also echoed by Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray, particularly since city hall falls within the Westside-Kelowna riding boundaries.

B.C.’s Prince of Pot could be on the verge of an epic homecoming.

Marc Emery has been imprisoned in a U.S. jail since 2010 for selling marijuana seeds and recently applied to return to Canada to serve the rest of his five-year sentence.

His wife Jodie Emery broke the news on Twitter Wednesday that the U.S. government has now approved his transfer.

“Oh my god!!! Now Canada has to make a decision!!” she tweeted.

She urged Emery’s supporters to write to the federal public safety minister to urge Ottawa to approve his transfer back to Canada.

It’s not yet clear whether he would continue to serve time in jail here or if he could be released on conditions.

If Emery is freed it could have big implica-tions for the budding marijuana legalization movement in B.C. Sensible BC campaigners who aim to force a provincial referendum on pot reform are poised to launch a petition campaign this fall. Elections BC has given the initiative the green light to begin registering canvassers next week.

Emery sold pot seeds by mail order from 1994 to 2005 in an effort to raise funds to end marijuana prohibition. He was arrested in Canada by U.S. agents in 2005 and originally faced a 30-year sentence before a plea-bargain gave him a reduced five-year term. Emery was extradited to the U.S. when the Canadian gov-ernment refused to let him serve his time in this country. His supporters have always con-sidered him a political prisoner.

Much has changed while the leader of the B.C. Marijuana Party has been behind bars.

The biggest milestone was last November’s vote in Washington State to legalize marijuana possession and set up a government system for sales.

Officials check the scene of an accident involving a cabin cruiser Wednesday morning at the Kiwanis Walking Pier. According to Penticton RCMP the accident happened Tuesday night when the boat hit the dock, crashed through the railing coming to rest on the other side. Several young people were sitting on the pier close to where the boat hit but were not injured. Neither of the two people on the boat were seriously hurt. Police say alcohol may have been a factor and an investigation is continuing. The dock is currently closed to the public pending a structural analysis and removal of the vessel. A crane and barge were used to lift the boat from its resting place. Environmental experts have also been called to determine if there was any harm done from leaking fuel. A containment boom was put in place as a precaution.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SHIGH RIVER, Alta. - Alberta Premier

Alison Redford says a local state of emer-gency in flood-stricken High River in southern Alberta is to be lifted as sched-uled today.

The emergency declaration was made almost immediately when the town was swamped in a matter of hours three weeks ago and the entire community of 13,000 had to be evacuated.

Redford also says the province is hand-ing control of High River back to its town council.

She says provincial support will remain.

“We are not going anywhere,” she said at a news conference in High River on Thursday. “This is only another phase. We’re in it for the long haul.”

Opposition Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith, who is from High River, had want-ed the legislature reconvened so the prov-ince could extend the state of emergency.

Redford said there’s no real need for that.

“There’s no magic that having a prov-incial state of emergency in place ... will speed up things tomorrow,” she said.

Associate minister Rick Fraser and provincial officials are to remain on the ground in High River as rebuilding con-tinues, she added.

Mayor Emile Blokland said Redford and her government “have been there” for the town and it’s time to move ahead.

“Tremendous progress has been made in High River,” he said. “We know the amount of work that lies ahead.”

There was extensive damage when the raging Highwood River swiftly surged through the community June 20 after torrential rains.

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

Que. - His face gripped with terror, the train driver sprang out of bed at the inn where he’d retired for the night and raced to the scene of an impending catastrophe.

Friends and acquaintances painted a portrait today of the friendly Anglo railman who enjoyed chat-ting with locals in his accented French dur-ing regular stopovers in Lac-Megantic.

The train driver,

Tom Harding, now finds himself at the centre of the investiga-tion into the Quebec derailment disaster, now feared to have killed 50 people.

An employee at the inn where Harding slept one or two nights per week says she spe-cifically remembers the horrified expres-sion on his face when he scrambled outside and saw the inferno engulfing the town.

C a t h e r i n e Pomerleau-Pelletier doesn’t remember

hearing him utter a word amid the chaos - but he appeared immediately to know it was his train.

The chairman of the rail company has said Harding was sus-pended without pay amid concerns that he might not have prop-erly applied the brakes on the tanker train carrying crude oil.

The company had initially described Harding as a hero for apparently rushing to the scene where he managed to pull

some of the explosive, untouched rail cars away from the flames. Reports initially said he was on sick leave. Attempts to recon-cile that discrepancy received no response from the company today.

Much of the local anger has been directed at the com-pany, Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway.

Quebec Premier Pauline Marois, who received applause from residents as she vis-ited the town today for

a second time, called MMA’s handling of the crisis “deplorable.” The local mayor says she’s angry Harding didn’t communicate with her in the immediate after-math of the disaster.

Another 600 Lac-Megantic residents are being allowed home after last weekend’s fatal train derailment. Quebec civil secur-ity spokeswoman Christine Savard says that means only about 200 people out of 2,000 won’t be back home today.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - New fig-

ures from the parlia-mentary budget office show National Defence hasn’t spent billions of dollars set aside for it during the last budget year in a continuing trend that’s being described as deficit slashing by stealth.

The data on quar-terly expenditures in the federal govern-ment show that by the end of the last fis-

cal year in March, the department had spent $2.3 billion less than what was allocated by Parliament.

That’s more than 10 per cent of the annual defence appropriation, which also happens to be the single biggest discretionary line item in the federal budget.

A former command-er of the army says this calls for an explanation from the Harper gov-ernment.

“I am not aware of any other Western armed forces, who are all going through budget reductions,

underspending by such a dramatic amount over such a relatively long period of time,” said retired lieutenant-general Andrew Leslie.

Dave Perry, of Carleton University

and the Conference of Defence Associations, says if it was simply a matter of a faulty process, a government committed to end-ing inefficiency would have fixed it.

“I really cannot conceive of how this is could not be con-sidered a major prob-lem and why they couldn’t, over the span of three years, address this,” he said.

OPINION

Investors aren’t biting on B.C. oil refineryNewspaper baron

David Black, who is proposing to build a large oil

refinery in Kitimat, is reportedly puzzled by the lack of interest by potential Canadian investors. The answer to his puzzlement is fairly straightforward: in free (and even free-ish) markets, capital flows to its most efficient use. Compared to gains that can be had from new oil production, expected gains from new refineries are scant these days.

Most of the growth in Canada’s oil production will come from continued expansion in the capacity to produce raw, and in some cases upgraded, bitumen from the Alberta oil sands. This requires tremendous amounts of capital, includ-ing the additional cost of implementing new tech-nologies to reduce on-site natural gas consumption and to mitigate environ-mental impacts. Oil refin-eries, which also require large amounts of capital, offer only limited profit margins and therefore, aren’t very attractive to investors at this point. It’s simple competitiveness.

Black’s opinion that shipping refined petroleum products from our shores instead of crude oil is pref-erable because gasoline and other refinery products are less costly to cleanup in the event of a spill makes sense. And yes, countries such as China and India will be consuming increasing vol-umes of gasoline, diesel fuel and other refined pet-roleum products. Further, Canadian producers will have oodles of crude oil to supply any refineries that might be built on the west coast. However, basic economic considerations suggest that oil sands pro-ducers will avoid investing in refineries on either the west or east coast.

First, there is the mat-ter of price. Western crude oil exports are heavily dis-counted because of excess supplies and quality dif-ferentials in the U.S. mid-continent region where the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price marker that drives the price of most Canadian crude oil ship-ments to U.S. refineries is set. In fact, there is a ‘double’ discount because WTI has been trading at substantially lower levels

than other leading oil price markers such as that for Brent (North Sea) crudes.

Although plans are underway to increase the limited pipeline capacity available to ship oil from Cushing Oklahoma to the U.S. Gulf Coast, growth in indigenous supply sources, including both bitumen from the oil sands and pro-duction from oil shale will probably prevent western Canada crudes from achiev-ing world prices. That is, producers selling crude oil to refineries on the west coast would unlikely be able to make the same profit as they could from exporting to growing markets in Asia, despite the greater trans-portation costs.

Second, oil refineries are not only complex and cost-

ly, but need to be tuned, technically, to refined pet-roleum product specifica-tions (e.g. for gasoline and diesel fuel) which are sub-ject to changes in environ-mental policy.

This means investors in refineries face risks from changes in product specifications in the tar-geted market(s). Stringent environmental regulations also make it very expensive to build and operate refin-eries in North America. By remaining focused on crude oil exports and establishing supply relationships with oil refineries in a number of Asian Pacific countries, Canada’s oil producers can avoid the risks surrounding oil refinery ventures here.

Finally, the largest pet-roleum producers – those with sufficient financial strength and flexibility to invest in oil refineries as well as new oil production facili-ties – have other object-ives. The large Canadian oil companies, such Suncor Inc. and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd., plan to con-tinue to develop their oil sands production capacity, the highly specialized busi-ness that they know best. Foreign-owned oil com-

panies heavily involved in the Alberta oil sands have similar plans. Moreover, some of them (including Conoco-Phillips, Exxon and Shell), have plans to develop huge, costly LNG export facilities on the B.C. coast. This suggests they don’t regard investment in new Canadian oil refineries to be attractive relative to other investment oppor-tunities.

If Black can secure the necessary financing and long-term purchase com-mitments from oil product distributors overseas and builds the refinery, he will likely be able to purchase the necessary feedstock from western Canadian oil producers. This assumes, however, that pipelines or other means are put in place to transport the required crude oil from Alberta to the refinery and that the producers are unable to market their oil to refineries in the Asia Pacific where they can real-ize higher prices. But Black cannot count on the pro-ducers to participate in his project.

CROWN POINT HOTELBRAT’S PUB

New Chef and new menuFresh food made from scratchBy electing a party

whose principal eco-nomic platform is the development of British

Columbia’s natural gas resour-ces, B.C. voters have decided to tempt disaster.

The province’s premier, apparently oblivious to the portentous warnings of climate science, has created a new min-istry specifically tasked with the responsibil-ity of develop-ing at least three liquid nat-ural gas (LNG) plants by 2020 — the indus-try envisions an eventual total of six — with the objective of shipping mas-sive quantities of this product to an apparently energy-hungry Asian market.

The strategy is couched in exuberant promise. Billions of dollars in royalties are expected to quickly erase B.C.’s debt, provide employment for thou-sands, end homelessness, fund education, solve healthcare problems and create a huge legacy fund. An estimated tril-lion dollars in additional eco-nomic activity over 30 years is supposed to bring unparalleled wealth to the province.

In response to environ-mental concerns, LNG is being pitched as a “climate solution” because burning natural gas is advertised as producing only about half the carbon dioxide of oil. Everyone is supposed to relax, trust that the future will be secure under the guidance of political expedience, and dis-regard the frenzy of drilling, fracking and pumping.

However, such promise comes with concerns. Global carbon dioxide emissions con-tinue to rocket upward, with no reductions in sight. World consumption of coal is soar-ing, increasing in almost every country but the United States. Japan, stung by the trauma of the meltdown of its Fukushima Daiichinuclear plant, is shift-ing its energy toward coal and gas — its carbon dioxide emis-sions are up 30 per cent. Even Germany, with its idealistic pragmatism on carbon emis-sions, is building more coal-fired electrical generation sta-tions as it, too, cuts back on nuclear power. Meanwhile, the promise of making coal clean with carbon capture and stor-age has been mostly ineffec-

tual, both economically and practically.

To complete the scenario, huge new supplies of oil are now rushing to market with the innovation of horizontal drilling in shale deposits. The International Energy Agency has measured the daily global consumption of oil at 89.8 mil-lion barrels per day for 2012, and expects a rise to 90.6 mbd

for 2013. So LNG will be added to the climate-changing effects of unrestrained oil and coal con-sumption.

With no fore-seeable short-ages of fossil fuels for dec-ades, and with the prospect of nearly limit-less quantities

of natural gas inundating the market by pipeline and LNG tankers, economists are pre-dicting a decrease in the dollar value of oil and coal. This will encourage their use, reduce the pressure for efficiency, and undermine the renew-able energy option from such sources such as wind, solar, geothermal and tidal — pre-cisely what the global climate crisis does not need.

Assuming that the founda-tional principles of climate sci-ence are correct — as I believe they almost certainly are — then the development of nat-ural gas and LNG in B.C. is a regressive strategy, a short-sighted and reckless venture in the direction of catastrophe. When burning one kg of natur-al gas produces 2.75 kg of car-bon dioxide, advertising LNG as “green” is a political strategy, not an environmental one.

Considerable evidence argues against the environ-mental benefits of LNG — cleaner than oil and coal is hardly a sterling recommen-dation for burning another fossil fuel. Extracting reliable quantities of natural gas from sparse concentrations in shale requires nearly constant drill-ing. Fracking necessitates the injection of toxic chemicals and inordinate amounts of valuable water into sometimes unpredictable strata. Leakage of methane, a potent green-house gas, commonly occurs in the process. Pumping adds to emissions. The cooling and compressing to convert nat-ural gas to LNG is extremely energy intensive. Then ocean-

going shipping contributes to the inefficiency. By totalling all these expenditures of energy, some critics calculate that LNG is almost as carbon intensive as coal.

Furthermore, the econom-ic benefits for B.C. are likely overly optimistic. Many coun-tries are presently planning or building LNG plants for export purposes — a dozen in the U.S. and several in Australia. And Russia, with natural gas resources that dwarf the ones in this province, will be pip-ing supplies directly to China. Meanwhile, Asian countries are being careful to diversify their LNG sources, a strategy designed to keep the energy market competitive and prices down.

But the sociological argu-ment against LNG is, perhaps, the most damning and compel-ling. Societies that come to rely heavily on the export of raw resources invariably stul-tify their human potential and handicap their future pros-pects. Their economies become narrow, brittle and unstable, subject to the vagaries of boom-and-bust cycles. Skewed in favour of fast and easy money rather than solid and sustain-able enterprise, they relinquish their economic control to the decisions of others. When the source of their wealth is fragile and uncertain, their aspirations invariably overreach their abil-ity to pay and their collective psychology begins to exhibit the personality characteristics of the addict.

Such resource-based soci-eties lose resilience, independ-ence and confidence. So they are inclined to perceive them-selves as vulnerable victims rather than confident initi-ators. As their collective psyche suffers an erosion of power, sophistication, pride and mor-ale, they become cynical, an unhealthy psychology that combines with a frayed social fabric to make their problems progressively more difficult to solve. A sense of defeat and powerlessness even manifests as a declining involvement in participatory democracy.

British Columbians will pay a high price for LNG. But the cost to the global environment will be immeasurably higher. B.C. owes itself and the world much more than this.

“In the end, I think my experience with musical theatre makes me a better performer, regardless,” said Tremblay. “Everything is a bit better with a little attention to detail, polishing and dra-matic flare.”

She hopes to continue developing as a musician while still living in Greater Trail.

“I owe a lot to this area for allowing me to continue doing what I know how to do and for supporting all my crazy endeavours,” she said. “I also appreciate the amazing raw talent that local ama-teur groups possess as that truly inspires me but I am starving for some profes-sional development and I’m running out of skills to offer the area.”

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - Apparently, Canadian-

born funnyman Russell Peters is laugh-ing all the way to the bank.

Peters was the third-highest earn-ing stand-up comic of the past year, according to a new survey by Forbes.

The Brampton, Ont., comedian is said to have pulled in $21 million over the one-year period beginning June 2012, with Forbes’ earnings num-ber being based on estimates of pre-

tax gross income compiled with help from agents, lawyers and others in the industry.

Jerry Seinfeld topped the list with $32 million, followed by Las Vegas ventriloquist Terry Fator, who hauled in $24 million.

Rounding out the Top 10 were Jeff Dunham, Louis C.K., Kevin Hart, Larry the Cable Guy, George Lopez, Daniel Tosh, Gabriel Iglesias and Ron White.

In order for a comic to make the list, Forbes specified that his or her primary income source had to come from con-cert tickets.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SWINNIPEG - A motley cultural crew

is coming together to perform for some unusual and weighty guests with an ear for the chimes of the glockenspiel.

Next week, a troupe of 10 - includ-ing a contortionist and an opera singer - plans to put on the first in a series of summertime shows for thousands of beluga whales near the mouth of Hudson Bay in northern Manitoba.

Artist Laura Magnusson, one of the organizers, has been “drawn in by the sub-Arctic sirens” since she first met the belugas in 2011. Since then, she has been going to Churchill to play

music for the whales as they congre-gate over the warmer months.

Using a specially designed boat and underwater speaker system, she and fellow artist Kaoru Ryan Klatt play and sing various kinds of music to the beluga pods - with surprising results.

Other artists include musician Jim Nollman, who plans to entertain the belugas on an electric mandolin, and Jamie Woollard, who is to perform remotely from Montreal and improvise on piano.

The series, running through July and August, can be viewed by humans online at becomingbeluga.com

B y A r n e P e t r y s h e nCranbrook TownsmanA camping trip

quickly became a rescue mission for a group up the Gray Creek Pass.

The five-person group, which included Cranbrook resident Mike Krahn and four of his friends, were cut-ting wood near their camp, when a man came running up the road.

“We were about two kilometres up the Gray Creek Pass where you come off the St. Mary’s road,” he said. “We were cutting up some wood and when we shut our saws off, we could hear some-body screaming ‘help’.”

The frantic man and his three vehicle passengers had driven across Redding Creek earlier but got stuck in the middle of the raging creek on the way back. The man had managed to swim, fighting the current, to the bank then ran about a couple of kilo-metres to get to the

campsite.So the group hopped

into their side-by-sides with the man and he led them up the road about nine kilometres and then down an old skidder trail that takes you to Redding Creek.

Krahn said he’d been down the trail before and so was not expecting things to be good.

“We get down there and we can see where the alders open up to the river and sure enough there’s a pick-up sitting about 40 feet into the water, halfway across the river,” he

said.The truck was

facing them and lean-ing hard downriver, being pushed by the strong current. Water was flowing over the hood. On top of the truck were the three other passengers, who said they could feel the truck shifting back and forth from the water’s force.

The group anchored the side-by-sides near the water and used a winch line.

“I grabbed the hooked end and walked out into the water along the edge of the bank, up to just below my chest,” Krahn said. “We grabbed a har-ness and hooked it just below the winch cable

and tossed it to the people and had them wrap it around their chest and one by one, we pulled them in.”

Krahn caught each person as they were pulled in and also pulled downstream. The water, which the three people had been sitting in for three and a half hours, was very cold.

“I was in that water altogether for 10 to 15 minutes and I couldn’t feel anything below my waist,” he said.

After the three had been rescued, they took them back to camp, got them dry clothes and warmed up, then one of the campers drove them back to town.

“When we went

back there the next day, (the truck) had moved about three feet. It didn’t have far to go to flip over because there was a big hole,” Krahn said.

The truck was later pulled out, he said.

Krahn said the gravity of the situation didn’t hit them until later that night after the rescue, when they were back at camp.

The man who ran from the rescue site had tried to get to the winch on his truck and was swept over the hood and downstream, somehow managing to make the bank.

“He was very lucky that he didn’t get sucked down,” Krahn said.

B y C A r o l y n G r A n tKimberley Bulletin

While there hasn’t been much public discussion about Kimberley’s proposed Sun Mine — an industrial grid-connected solar energy project at the former Sullivan Mine Concentrator site — much has been going on behind the scenes this past spring and win-ter.

In fact, the project is now entering the detailed engineer-ing phase to establish the final design, full costing and sched-

uling.The City has put out a

request for engineering con-sultants, suppliers and con-tractors to submit an expres-sion of interest outlining their qualifications for provid-ing goods and services to the SunMine project.

Mayor Ron McRae says that it’s a small step forward in the process, but it’s also a large one for the project itself.

“We are trying to get an exact fix on costing so that if we do take the decision to move

forward, we will know that it will be a sustainable project.

“Everything so far is looking really good, but we must do due diligence. All three part-ners (the City of Kimberley, Teck and Eco Smart) and are of the same mind.

“We want to make sure the Sun Mine is viable, which we believe it to be.”

McRae says that it is hoped that there could be a decision made before the 2014 construc-tion season in order to get started next spring.

this summer in Castlegar. The date is July 20, at 6:30 p.m. The location

is the Pass Creek Exhibition Grounds at the band-shell. The music will be a mix of at least 50 per cent traditional hymns with the remainder being newer gospel songs.

All the music will be live. There will be three to four groups of very talented local singers and musicians, a very talented group from Southern Alberta called the Fehr Family who is touring Eastern Canada and U.S.A. and also audience singing.

For more information on the Fehr Family you can visit their website. For those not familiar with the local musical talent you may be pleasantly surprised by the abundance of excellent sing-ers and musicians. There will be a prayer team available to pray for/with anyone who would like prayer for any reason.

This is a non-denominational event. You can expect to hear music that varies from bluegrass type music to more traditional gospel music to southern gospel and to the more modern “light rock” gospel music of today.

The Truthbearers Christian Motorcycle Club is handling parking and security in the parking area while the concert is on. Please bring your lawn chairs or a blanket as the wooden benches and/or chairs may not be the most comfortable. We also need more volunteers for this year.

As there will be no concession bring your own water or other non alcoholic beverages.

The 2013 Tae Kwon-Do International 10th Open World Championships hits the mats today at the Skydome Arena in Coventry, England and Team Canada is stocked with nine of Greater Trail’s best martial artists.

Attending the event from the Trail Martial Arts club (TMA) are Mattias Hofmann and James French from Rossland, Amos Lawrason from Annabelle, Kelly Waite and Jason Ayles from Trail, and John, Mary Ann, Paul and Emma MacLean from Montrose.

Ayles is a two-time com-petitor at the world cham-pionships, having won silver in sparring at the 2013 TKDI Canadian Championships and bronze the previous year. At the same Canadian championships in Kelowna in April, Hofmann qualified by winning gold in age 11-13 advanced patterns, as did Amos Lawrason who captured gold in the 14-17 advanced patterns. Emma MacLean was a double-bronze win-ner in advanced patterns and advanced ladies sparring, while Paul MacLean took bronze in the 14-17 advanced sparring. James French won bronze in the men’s advanced sparring, while in the over 35 category Kelly Waite took silver in ladies advanced sparring.

It is the largest contingent of TMA athletes ever to attend the event as they get set to compete in patterns and sparring against the best in the world. TMA instructor, Ayles, believes the team is ready, saying that work and dedication to the sport sets them apart.

“I am very proud of all the time and effort they have put in leading up to this event,” added

Ayles, “I am not surprised by the number that qualified, they all put in the hours and dedicate themselves to Tae Kwon-Do. If you do that the rest takes care of its self.”

The Worlds is a huge venue, with thousands of spectators attending over the weekend. And while the competition will be intense, Ayles believes his team will perform well.

“I am expecting my students to leave it all on the mat and give their best efforts. It is the largest stage in the world to compete so they will face the toughest opposition they have played to date.”

There are four categories of competition at the worlds

that include sparring, patterns, black belt destruction, and team sparring, however TMA experts will compete in sparring and patterns.

Sparring is scored by mak-ing light contact, with three points awarded for a kick to the head, two points for a kick to the body, and a single point for a punch to the body or the head. Patterns is a sequence of techniques with high scores for fluidity, flexibility, power, bal-ance, and overall beauty of the pattern.

Tae kwon do is a relatively new art, emerging from Korea in the late 1950s as an attempt to unify different forms of mar-tial arts like Karate and Tang su

do. Its techniques are based on centuries old knowledge that, for adults, combines exercise, skill, self-discipline and concen-tration that develops ones abil-ity to defend oneself as much as it helps reduce stress and incor-porate a high ethical standard.

At Trail Martial Arts, Ayles also teaches his students about cultivating a focused and men-tally strong approach in and out of the dojo.

Ayles and the team flew out earlier this week to recover from jet lag and also to take in the sights.

Orioles back at Butler

B y J i m B a i l e yTimes Sports Editor

The Trail AM Ford Orioles are back at home for a three-game tilt against the Vernon Diamondbacks at Butler Park on the weekend.

The O’s are coming off a great showing at the Canada Day Baseball Blast tournament in Kelowna, finish-ing third, after coming one strike away from a berth in the finals.

“I think the Kelowna weekend showed that we can play with anyone, we were the last Canadian team play-ing,” said Orioles player-coach Jim Maniago. “If we keep hitting the ball like we did there we’ll have a lot of success. It was huge to fall behind and still be able to battle back and win games, that hasn’t happened to us in a long time. It takes some pressure off our pitchers to know that if they make a few mistakes and give up some runs we still have a chance to win.”

The Orioles will likely start Kyle Paulson in the opening match on Saturday, followed by either Scott Rhynold or Dallas Calvin in games two and three.

The O’s played the Dbacks early last month, taking both ends of a doubleheader in Vernon, but Maniago is expecting a more prepared team this time around.

“Vernon is a scrappy team. They always come here and do the right things to try and steal a game or two from us. They just had a pretty good showing at a tournament in Vancouver. We’ve had some time off, hopefully we’ll be ready and not rusty.”

Saturday games go at Butler Park at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. and on Sunday at 10 a.m.

B y T i m e s C o n T r i B u T o rThe Stingrays had a blast at the annual

Colville Swim Meet last weekend. As well as great results in the outdoor

pool, the Colville meet is especially well known for its epic water fight in its downtown park that is opened for camp-ing for visiting clubs. This year was no

exception as kids and parents ran around the park for three hours blasting each other with water guns Saturday.

In the pool, the Stingrays also had a blast and continue to improve as the summer progresses, swimming best times in many of their races.

Cassidy Martin won gold in Div. 6 girls,

while Elijah Grebe nabbed second in boys, Diego Greenwood claimed second in Div. 4 boys, and Josie Dunham placed third in Div. 1 girls. Sam Theobold won bronze in Div. 6 girls, and Logan Blair came third in Div. 4 boys.

Obie Kennedy swam a personal best taking 10 seconds off the 50-metre fly,

while Isabella Ady slashed 15 seconds off her 50 backstroke, and Ellie Knox swam best times in all her events.

Logan blair participated in the “Guts and Glory” 400 IM and placed second with a time of six minutes and 50 seconds.

The Stingrays will compete in the Castlegar swim meet this weekend.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SINVERNESS - Phil

Mickelson quickly hit his stride at the Scottish Open on Thursday, shoot-ing 6-under 66 to sit two strokes off John Parry’s early first-round lead.

Rebounding from a three-putt for bogey on his first hole, Mickelson breezed around the Castle Stuart course under blue skies and little wind to post six bird-ies and an eagle at No. 12.

The eighth-ranked American is seeking a first win in Europe in 20 years, while using the event as practice for next week’s British Open at Muirfield.

“It’s great for me to get off to a decent start because I have gotten off to poor starts the last couple of years here, and I have been fighting just to make the cut and get into reason-able contention,” said the four-time major winner. “Many of my great rounds in the past have started with a bogey, so I wasn’t too worried.”

The highest-ranked player in the field, Mickelson chose some competitive play the week before the Open - unlike Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott. He called the forgiving course “stupendous” on Wednesday.

“It gives you a chance to hit all the shots we’ll play next week - to have bump-and-run iron shots into the green, to run shots up, putt off the green ... but not get beat up the week before,” Mickelson said. “You can only handle so much pun-ishment the week before the Open when the rough is so thick and the penalty for a miss is so great.”

Fresh off mis-sing the cut at the Greenbrier Classic last week after finish-ing runner-up again at the U.S. Open last month, Mickelson was muttering to himself after his bogey at No. 10 - his first hole. But a 15-foot eagle putt at No. 12 gave him some momentum that was built upon with three birdies at the turn.

TRAIL MEN’S XBL CHAMPIONSHIP

FOR THE RECORDThe Kootenay South Youth Soccer U15

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SNEWARK, N.J. -

When the New Jersey Devils signed Ilya Kovalchuk to a con-tract that eventually became a 15-year deal worth US$100 million, it stunned the NHL.

But that was noth-ing compared to Kovalchuk's decision to retire and walk away from the final 12 years and $77 million of it.

K o v a l c h u k ' s announcement Tuesday

to return home to Russia came several months after the super-star considered staying there in the wake of the NHL lockout. The 30-year-old said in a statement that he has thought for a long time about moving home for good.

“Though I decided to return this past season, (general manager Lou Lamoriello) was aware of my desire to go back home and have my family there with me,” Kovalchuk said. “The

most difficult thing for me is to leave the New Jersey Devils, a great organization that I have a lot of respect for, and our fans that have been great to me.”

Kovalchuk had 417 goals and 399 assists in 816 games over 11 NHL seasons spent with the Atlanta Thrashers and Devils. He was the first overall pick of the Thrashers in 2001 and was a face of that franchise before being traded to New Jersey in 2010.

Shame and fear are the twin enemies of feeling worthy. Most of us feel that there are certain things that we dare not share with others, dark secrets so shameful that were we to reveal them no one would accept us. But, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and we should not doubt that God loves us even so. God’s making us was

no mistake, and he certainly knew the many ways in which we would fall short. God’s

only requirement for us is that we have the courage to confess our sins and own up to our shortcomings. Confessing those sins

and shortcomings to our fellow man takes even more courage than confessing them to God, but the payoff is worth it. We will thereby discover which of our friends and family members will accept us just as we are. One of the earliest meanings of the

word “courage” is “to speak one’s mind,” or literally “to tell one’s heart.” And indeed, courage is required to “tell one’s heart.” Remember, though, that being worthy is

less about being blameless and more about opening our heart to others and trusting

that they will accept us.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SCALGARY - A pilot program is looking at

ways to make it easier for Muslim taxi driv-ers in Calgary to observe the holy month of Ramadan, which began Tuesday.

There were worries that with as many as 40 per cent of cab drivers in the city identifying as Muslim, there could be an impact on transpor-tation during the hectic Stampede week.

But the city’s Taxi and Limousine Advisory Committee instead came up with a plan to make it easy for drivers to pray.

Committee spokesman Johnathan Campbell said that because of input from the drivers, they have set up a prayer tent near Stampede Park.

There will also be suitable food trucks avail-able for drivers at dusk when the daily fast is complete.

Campbell says making these accommoda-tions available will not only show respect, it will also keep drivers downtown and more available for their duties.

Campbell adds that this pilot program will be analysed and re-worked as needed since Ramadan will also overlap dates with next year’s Stampede.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SLEJAC, B.C. – Hundreds of pilgrims, some

from as far as Ontario, gathered in the British Columbian community of Lejac last weekend for the annual Rose Prince pilgrimage.

The young native woman, who died in 1949, is credited with numerous miraculous healings. Some believe the dirt of her grave holds healing propreties.

Some pilgrims scooped small quantities into plastic bags and pouches at Saturday’s pilgrim-age, while others rubbed the dirt over parts of their bodies afflicted with injuries or sickness.

Jean Felix took part because of her daughter’s arthritis, which was diagnosed when she was 16-months-old.

Felix said doctors told her it could not be cured.

‘’She has not had a flare-up since we have been coming,’’ Felix said. ‘’It’s our fourth year. Her doctors are amazed.’’

Although many refer to her as a saint, Father Vincent James of St-Andrews Parish in Fraser Lake said canonization takes time and is subject to many scientific examinations.

That did not deter the crowds of people who gathered for this year’s event.

Originally from Fort St-James, about 100 kilometres north of Lejac, Prince came from a devout Roman Catholic familly.

As a young native girl she was sent to Lejac Residential School in 1922 at the age of seven.

When it came time for her to leave at 16, she asked to be kept on as staff.

She worked at the school until her death from tuberculosis.

Dear Annie: I am a 45-year-old gay man who has never had a relationship, and I don’t expect it to change. I have lived all of my life in the closet. I know it’s not emotion-ally healthy, but I feel unable to confide in anyone. When I was a teenager, I confided in a minister, who then told my parents. They never accepted me.

My parents are both gone now. I have no friends. I work two jobs, which precludes a social life. I’ve listened to my co-workers’ conversa-tions and can tell they wouldn’t understand. I live in an area where coming out could mean the loss of my jobs, my landlord could evict me, and I worry that someone’s intolerance could turn violent.

There is no PFLAG or other resource in my area. There are no gay bars. I feel unable to relocate due to eco-nomic concerns. I realize my isolation is my own fault. I’m not

an outgoing, talkative person. In particular, I have always found it difficult to talk about myself. How do I open the door? -- In Turmoil in Kansas

Dear Kansas: You don’t need to go to a gay bar. You can look online, and not only for prospective part-ners, but also to make new friends regardless of their sexual orien-tation. It will protect your privacy while giv-ing you an opportunity to connect with others. Regular email conver-sations can also help you learn to communi-cate better. And PFLAG has online support at pflag.org. Please check it out.

Dear Annie: I have an adult niece who no longer speaks to her grandparents. No one knows why, and her parents tell us the niece “deals with things in her own way.” Her grandparents are heart-broken.

The question is: Do I invite this niece to a family wedding? She is difficult to be around and makes things uncomfortable for those of us who must observe her behavior. It is important to the bride that her grand-parents be at the wed-ding, and we want them to feel at ease. We have no problem not inviting the niece, but do not want to start a war with her parents. -- Family Issues

Dear Issues: We generally favor inviting those people you wish and letting the chips fall where they may. You are not responsible for your niece’s estrange-ment. However, you also are not obligated to invite her, although

it’s quite possible that the grandparents might welcome a chance to see the girl, even from six tables away.

The decision ultim-ately rests with the bridal couple, but you might first talk it over with the grandparents, as well as the parents of this niece. Explain the problem and ask wheth-er they believe she can behave appropriately. If there is a genuine risk that she will cause a scene, we say leave her off the guest list.

Dear Annie: You told “Frustrated” to call those people who had not RSVP’d and ask whether they plan to attend her daughter’s graduation party. As much as I love trad-itional invites, sadly, tradition is heeding way to technology. Instead of calling, she should turn to her social media accounts to initiate invitations.

I have used Facebook for three events in the past year. I received more RSVPs than I ever

would have gotten with mailed paper invita-tions. That said, how-ever, most people did not show up and never bothered to respond. It resulted in wasted food and guests taking home extra favor bags. However, this was my fault. I easily could have

posted a message asking for a head count before making final arrange-ments. -- Everything Online Now

Dear Everything: Your fault? No, dear. The fault lies with those who are too inconsider-ate to tell you whether they plan to attend an

event that you have been kind enough to invite them to. It doesn’t matter wheth-er the invitations are mailed or sent electron-ically. (And many people do not have Facebook accounts. Really.)

They say there is a reason,They say that time will heal,But neither time nor reason,Will change the way we feel.

For no one knows the heartache,That lies behind our smiles,No one knows how often,

We have broken down and cried.We want to tell you something,

So there won’t be any doubt,You’re so wonderful to think of,

But so hard to be without.Always in our thoughts, forever in our hearts,

Love Dad, Mom, Stacie-Rae & Family.

If roses grow in heaven,Lord, please pick a bunch for us.Place them in our mother’s arms

And tell her they’re from us.Tell her we love her and miss her,

And when she turns to smile,Place a kiss upon her cheekAnd hold her for awhile.

Because remembering her is easy,We do it every day,

But there’s an ache within our heartsTh at will never go away.

Se rose crescono in cieloSignore, per favore scegli un

mezzo per noi,Metterli nelle braccia di nostra madre

E dirle che sono di noi.Dille il suo amore e manca il suo

E quandro lei si trasforma in sorriso,Posizionara un bacio sulla soi guancia

E tenerla per un po.Perché ricordare è facile,Lo facciamo ogni giorno,

Cathy & Family

The family of Ed Wyatt would like to take this opportunity to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to our extended family members, friends, bosses, co-workers and neighbors for your kindness during Ed’s sudden

illness and passing. There are no words to express how grateful we are for the generous love and support. Thank you for the meals during his illness. After his passing the

meals, baking, flowers, cards, emails, texts, phone calls and visits were greatly appreciated.

To Dr. Blair Stanley, we thank you for your honesty shown to Ed during his illness, and the early morning visits were comforting. To the nurses on the 2nd and

3rd Floor of the RDKB Hospital, thank you for keeping Ed comfortable in his final days. To Bill Clark, thank you for listening and being so understanding of Ed’s

wishes. To the local Real Estate offices, co-workers and friends… the generous gift of the park bench across from Ed and Elaine’s house is a gift like no other…It

will be a quiet place to sit, enjoy the sunshine, watch the river…and remember our Papa Ed.

This is not good bye Papa…

We know you’ll be watching…as your granddaughters graduate and one day walk down the aisle.

Until we see you again…Elaine, Rob, Sonya, Rhylah, Reigha, Rannde,

Joe, Brenda, Jasmine & Alexis
