Trail’s avid gardeners tipped a glass and cut into cake to celebrate another year of beautifying the city, one garden at a time.
The serene backdrop of a cascading fountain and fragrant blossoms in the Colombo Piazza provided an intimate back drop for Trail in Bloom (TiB) to present top honours to this year’s participants in its 2013 annual garden contest, Tuesday night.
Connie Smith and partner Arlene Chapman, were surprised to win the first-time entry award and first place for Teck’s best residential garden award.
“This is a surprise because a month ago we had a water main break,” said Chapman.
Chapman and Smith were hesitant to enter the contest for the first time after their backyard was turned upside down by a back hoe to repair the water and sewer lines.
“Annette (Gallatin, TiB chair) came by and said ‘yes, you must enter the contest,’” explained Chapman. “So we replanted everything and here we are.”
Chapman has always been a gardener but full time work held her back from delving fully into puttering in the yard.
Now retired, she has time to pursue her pas-sion of raising roses, and is very keen on nurtur-ing the fragrant bloom, year-round.
“We like to putter, look at the colour and enjoy the scents in our garden,” she said.
Smith has a long history of manicuring yards, beginning in childhood, when her daily chores included mowing and pruning the empty lots of

The B.C. legislation that saw the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) voted out of existence will now be enacted to focus the people of British Columbia’s attention on a slightly different matter; “Should marijuana be decriminalized in B.C.?”
The initiative would have a petition circulat-ed throughout the province to change the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources to enforce current laws related to, “simple pos-session and use of cannabis by adults.”
Dana Larsen’s pro-cannabis group, Sensible B.C., refers to the proposed changes to provincial policing regulations as the “Sensible Policing Act,” which would re-direct law enforcement resources away from pursuing and punishing marijuana users and direct them towards pursu-ing serious crimes.

“You would think having to mow and water lawns for all those years when it was 100 degrees outside would make me not like it,” said Smith.
“But that was my start and it turns out that I am very interested in gardens and want our yard to look very tidy.”
Smith is the designer of the elaborate and plentiful array of flowers, plants and whimsy in their East Trail home, although both women tend to their yard for hours each day.
“Nothing happens without hard work,” chuckled Smith.
Smith and Chapman have taken a keen interest in sus-tainable gardening because they like to travel, and their research into drought toler-ant plants has been put into practise on their front yard boulevard.
Their rock work design
and hardy plants look pleas-ing to the eye without requir-ing regular watering.
“The plants need to be cut back in the fall and com-posted,” said Smith. “But nothing will be damaged by winter snowplowing and will grow again next year.”
Greater Trail residents have an opportunity to stroll through Trail’s finest back yards on July 27 during a walking tour.
Maps for “The Garden
Tour” will be available by donation at Ferraro Foods in downtown Trail on July 24 through July 26.
“You can pick and choose what you would like to see but I suggest taking the after-noon to see them all,” said Annette Gallatin, TiB Chair.
Tickets to Teck’s Mad Hatter tea party from noon until 2 p.m. in the gar-den at Teck’s Guest House on July 27 are on sale at Century 21, Kootenay Homes

FROM PAGE 1The organization
will have 90 days from Sept. 9 to collect signa-tures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts.
The same time frame the anti-HST campaigned success-fully tackled in 2011.
Mary Gay, Montrose village councillor and local anti-HST cam-paigner, said that the process of campaign-ing for a successful petition was onerous but well worth the effort.
“It took a lot of volunteers, we set up tables everywhere, Ferraro’s, Canadian Tire, the mall..., it was a lot of work,” Gay said. “But it was awe-some, I’m quite proud of what we did.”
On the topic of the coming referendum, Gay had mixed feel-ings.
“About the decrim-inalization, I’m kind of yes and no,” she said. “I don’t really agree with all the drugs and stuff but I do agree that the police have enough to do without going after the little ones. The big ones, like the Bacon brothers though, that’s
where they should be concentrating.”
Gay does say she believes in the process even if she has reserva-tions about this par-ticular issue.
“I support the prin-ciple of the petition process,” said Gay. “If they need somebody to take this one on I’ll be there.”
Other politicians feel the process is a fair way for determining the will of the people.
“We, as a party, are in favour of decrim-inalization but it is a federal law,” Katrine Conroy, Kootenay West MLA, said from Victoria last week. “However, there are some things we can do provincially and I guess this is one of them.”
Conroy acknow-ledged that it could be a divisive issue in the province but that, in
general, people’s atti-tudes may be shifting on the subject.
“Now that Washington and Colorado have legal-ized it I think people are realizing the time has come to really look at the issue,” she said. “The cost to the court system is sub-stantial, I don’t know how decriminaliza-tion would really affect things but prohibition hasn’t worked in the U.S. and it’s not work-ing here. This is a good first step, it’s about democracy in action. If Dana Larson feels this is what he needs to do to move things for-ward, then I guess we’ll see what happens.”
Last September delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) passed a motion to call on the federal government to decriminalize mari-juana but the margin between yeas and nays was narrow and the discussion not without contention.
Rossland Mayor, Greg Granstrom, is also a strong supporter of the referendum pro-cess.
“I’m all in favour of the petitions,”
Granstrom said. “Citizens should have the right to challenge laws they don’t agree with, and government policies. If people want to make a statement and challenge that law, they should have the right to do so.”
If the 10 per cent threshold is reached, Elections BC would hold a province-wide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the HST.
Using the petition process to defeat the HST was successful but that was only the first of nine referen-dums to succeed since the legislation was passed in 1995.

Rescue boat called out for
capsized canoeB y A r t H A r r i s o n
Times StaffThe Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire
services rescue boat was called into action again Tuesday afternoon to deal with a canoe that had run into trouble on the Columbia River near Trail.
Deputy Regional Fire Chief, Dan Derby, was on his way home from work when he noticed a canoe that appeared to be out of control and people in the water in the rapids at Rock Island.
As Derby was calling the apparent emer-gency into the station, 911 calls began com-ing in reporting the same incident.
Police and fire services responded, launching the rescue boat to deal with the situation.
A family of five in a canoe had gotten caught in a large whirlpool at Rock Island on the Columbia, pulling one end of the vessel under and causing the capsize.
All members of the family, who were wearing life jackets, managed to pull the canoe to the west bank of the river across from Home Hardware where they collected their gear and emptied the canoe of water, re-loaded their cargo, and paddled across the river to meet with emergency person-nel near the Columbia Valley Greenhouse, confirming that no one was harmed and everything was alright.
The family was in the middle of an extended canoe trip travelling from Valemont, at the northern tip of the Kootenays, to Astoria, Oregon, where the Columbia empties into the Pacific Ocean.
Regional Fire Chief, Terry Martin, said the canoeists appear to have underesti-mated the rapids at Rock Island leading to the capsize of their boat.
“Rock Island can be dangerous if you’re not aware of what you’re getting into,” he said. “People who know the river know to follow the navigation markers to travel safely. People really should research the river before setting out.”
Although this is the third time in as many weeks that the rescue boat has been called out on the river, Martin says that they aren’t unusually busy for this time of year.
“We have had the one unfortunate inci-dent recently in Trail that we were called out for,” he said. “But mostly we’ve been out the last few days doing patrols and searches. We haven’t been called out more than is usual for this time of year.”
In addition to the emergency calls the rescue services have been called out for they have also been involved in the search for 28-year-old, Andrew Evans, who has been missing since entering the river while evad-ing the RCMP last week.
The Fire and Rescue services is also part of the search for 25-year-old, Lyle Lamont, who has been missing from Castlegar since Sunday.

Graveside service will be held 11am Monday, July 22nd at Mountainview Cemetary.
***GUTHRIE, MICHAEL — was born
in Kamloops on December 16, 1980 and passed away far too soon.
Michael is lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his wife, Shawnda and their children Benjamin, Charlee and Layla; his parents Jeannie and Terry and Lorne and Lindsay; his brother Shaun (Lindsay)and nephew and niece Wyatt and Marin; Shawnda’s family; the entire extended family of Michael and also his friends.
Michael loved to be outdoors with his family. Whether skiing or camping, he liked to spend those moments with his children and wife. He was an amazing husband and father.
A Memorial Service will be held at the Trail Alliance Church; 3365 Laburnum Drive on Monday, July 22, 2013 at 10:30 am with Pastor Kent Maddigan, Cele-brant.
Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation services has been en-trusted with the arrangements.
***DARULA, JULIUS — passed away
at home after a battle with Cancer. Julius was born 88 years ago, on April 14, 1925 in Oroshaza Hungary. His life’s journey had him arrive in Fruitvale in May, 1975 via 12 years in Toronto, and 16 years in England where he met his wife of 50 years Noreen. He is survived by his wife and sons David, John and his wife Kathleen, and his two grandsons Christopher and Daniel Darula.
Julius’ family move to British Colum-bia afforded him the opportunity to pur-sue two life long dreams. One was to build the drawing board, that he drew the plans on to build his own home. He said as the
foundations were being poured that “this home would be his last address”. The other was to prospect for gold, a dream he had carried from his youth.
Julius will always be remembered for his passion for wood work and his cre-ations will live on as family heirlooms.
He was always there to lend a hand and always enjoyed sharing a “barley sandwich” with anyone who stopped by for a visit.
At Julius’s request, there is to be no formal funeral service but the family will be hosting an Open House from 1 till 3 PM on Saturday July 20, 2013 at Julius’s home.
***CAMPBELL, JEAN - “GRANNY”
— Jean, known to most as “Granny”, passed away suddenly but peacefully in her home in Rossland, BC, on July 5, 2013.

Originally from Saskatchewan, she was a prairie girl at heart who quickly fell in love with the mountains. Granny was always fun-loving and had a unique sense of humour and a vibrant spirit, which will never be forgotten. She was a huge Saskatchewan Roughriders fan and an even bigger fan of her grandchildren at their many sporting events. Granny spent many hours as a volunteer at the Rossland Thrift Store and never ventured far without her coffee mug in hand. She was generous and thoughtful and will be greatly missed.
A Memorial Service will be held at St. Andrew’s United Church, 2110 1ST Avenue, Rossland on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. with Reverend Keith Simmonds, Celebrant. Jordan Wren of

OPINION
Fossil fuel addiction contributing to disastersLike smokers who
put off quitting until their health starts to suffer,
we’re learning what hap-pens when bad habits catch up with us. We’re witness-ing the terrible effects of fossil fuel addiction every day: frequent, intense storms and floods, extended droughts, rapidly melting Arctic ice, disappearing glaciers, deadly smog and pollution, contaminated waterways and destroyed habitats. Transport acci-dents are also increasing as governments and industry scramble to get fuels out of the ground and to market as quickly as possible.
Throughout it all, we’re asking the wrong ques-tions.
Take the recent horrific disaster in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. A train carrying fracked crude oil from North Dakota to a refin-ery in Saint John, New Brunswick, derailed, caught fire and caused explosions that destroyed much of the town and killed dozens of people, sending millions of litres of oil into the ground, air, sewers and Chaudière River. It’s a senseless tra-gedy that has everyone in Canada and beyond griev-
ing for the community’s citizens and their families.
Governments and the railway company must answer numerous ques-tions about safety regula-tions and practices, to pre-vent a similar catastrophe from ever occurring. The larger questions, though, are about the dramatic increases in fossil fuel use and transport. Sadly, indus-try proponents quickly exploited the situation to argue for expanding pipe-lines.
As growing human populations and increasing industrialization drive up the worldwide demand for fossil fuels, and as oil, gas and coal companies rush to extract, sell and burn as much as possible while markets remain strong, we’re seeing ever-increas-ing exploitation from dif-ficult sources – fracking, oil sands, deepsea drilling and more.
The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers expects oil pro-duction in Western Canada to double from three-million barrels a day to more than six-million by 2030. This means a huge increase in the amount of fuels transported around
the country and the world in pipelines, rail cars, trucks and ocean tankers. According to the Railway Association of Canada, rail shipment of oil has already increased dramatically in Canada, from 500 carloads in 2009 to 140,000 this year.
It’s true that rail acci-dents can be more dev-astating to human life than pipeline accidents – although when it comes to oil, pipeline breaks usually spill greater quantities and cause more environmental damage than train derail-ments.
But shipping massive volumes of oil and gas is unsafe by either method. As we transport ever-increas-ing volumes of fossil fuels over greater distances to broader networks, we can
expect more spills and acci-dents.
Wastefully and rapidly burning them is also driv-ing climate change, which experts say may even affect rail safety, as extreme heat and sudden temper-ature shifts can cause rails to buckle, increasing the potential for derailments.
Massive pipeline spills and devastating rail acci-dents are among the immediate and frightening consequences of our grow-ing appetite for fossil fuels, but our bad habits are real-ly starting to hit back with climate change.
The homes and lives lost around the world, num-erous plant and animal species facing extinction, rising health-care costs from pollution-related ill-ness and massive clean-up efforts after flooding show that failing to address cli-mate change is far more costly than doing some-thing about it.
Much of what we’re see-ing now – from increased intense rainfall and flood-ing in some parts of the world to extended droughts in others – is what climate scientists have been pre-dicting for decades.
We’re not going to stop
using oil overnight, and we will continue to trans-port it, so we must improve standards and regulations for pipelines, rail, trucks and tankers.
This should include safer rail cars for moving dan-gerous goods. Also, many environmental groups are calling for “a comprehen-sive, independent safety review of all hydrocarbon transportation – pipelines, rail, tanker and truck.” But in the long run, we have to find ways to slow down.
By conserving energy and switching to cleaner sources, we can start to move away from fossil fuels – and to use remaining reserves less wastefully.
That’s the discussion we need to have, rather than getting mired in debates about transport methods. As energy writer Russ Blinch noted in a recent article, “Looking at pipe-lines versus rail tankers is really like asking, ‘Should I drive the car with bad brakes or the one with bad tires?’”
We need to look at the big picture.

New Chef and new menuFresh food made from scratchAs some of your readers are
aware, Betty and I spend a fair amount of time on the golf course.
However there are days when we scratch our heads over find-ing something else to entertain ourselves.
On Saturday, July 13th we went for a drive up to Rossland
and beyond on the old highway to Christina Lake. We only went a mile or so unlike a trip over the whole route I did with my dad in 1950.
As we still had more time, we stopped in at the Rossland Museum. Years ago we had toured the outdoor aspects, but we had never gone inside.
This time we did and it is a “wow.”
Congratulations to those who developed and those who maintain this extremely inter-esting and historic facility.
I would like to encourage you to add it to your bucket list.

It’s hard to believe, but true: Canada and the United States are now entering the fifth year of economic
recovery from the recession that hit both countries over 2008-09.
In the United States, the downturn first took hold in late 2007 and extended through the next 18 months. After enduring its worst slump in 50 years, the American econ-omy officially stopped shrink-ing in June 2009. Since then, the U.S. has enjoyed 15 consecu-tive quarters of growth in infla-t i o n - a d j u s t e d gross domestic product (GDP), although the expansion has been sluggish by historical stan-dards. Indeed, America’s econ-omy has been growing at barely half the pace typical of previ-ous recession-recovery cycles. Moreover, per capita GDP has yet to return to its 2007 level, and employment remains well below its pre-recession peak.
Canada followed a broadly similar economic trajectory, except that the decline in GDP and employment was not as deep, and on most counts the economic rebound that started in mid-2009 has been more impressive. Unlike the U.S., Canada has seen a meaningful increase in the absolute num-ber of jobs, as well as higher real GDP on a per person basis. Canada also avoided the dis-ruptive downturn in housing markets and the sharp drop in household net worth that accompanied America’s reces-sion and persisted through the initial years of weak recovery that followed in its wake.
Looking ahead, it’s time to get ready for an extended eco-nomic role reversal in North America: the U.S. is on course to significantly outperform Canada across a swath of eco-nomic indicators, not just in 2013 but probably at least through 2015. The main rea-
son lies in the differing state of housing markets and consumer finances in the two countries.
Start with the consumer. Household balance sheets have improved stateside, with Americans having reduced debt (in some cases via bankruptcy) and housing and equity mar-ket valuations having climbed -
thereby lifting net worth. In Canada, household debt sits at a record high measured against disposable income, whereas the debt-income ratio has fallen appreciably in the U.S. The Canadian household sec-tor simply isn’t in a position to
drive robust top-line economic growth. Consumption, which constitutes three-fifths of econ-omy-wide spending, will there-fore be rising noticeably faster in the U.S. than in Canada.
Next, consider housing mar-kets. In Canada, homebuilding has been outpacing underlying demographics for several years, and by 2012 residential invest-ment stood a near record high as a share of GDP. After several years of frenetic activity, our housing markets have cooled, and starts are falling - a trend that’s expected to continue. Virtually all economic fore-casters agree that residential investment won’t be adding much, if anything, to Canadian GDP or job growth in the near term.
The picture is starkly differ-ent south of the border, where, after an epic, multi-year cor-rection that saw unprecedent-ed declines in home prices in many regions, key indicators of housing activity are reviv-ing. Annualized housing starts are slowly growing and should hit 1.3 to 1.4 million by 2016 - up from 800,000 last year, and broadly in line with under-lying U.S. demographic trends (population growth and house-hold formation rates). This will be good news for the American economy. And it will also bene-
fit some Canadian industries, particularly lumber companies.
There are other factors that also point to an uptick in U.S. economic growth vis-à-vis Canada. One is the surpris-ing jump in domestic oil and gas production, and the relat-ed reduction in energy costs for American industries and households that have access to low-cost, gas-fired electricity - which occupies a bigger place in the U.S. energy mix than it does here in Canada. As the U.S. reduces reliance on imported energy, its economy will receive a boost. And America is already making advances in manufac-turing competitiveness relative to other jurisdictions - includ-ing Canada - thanks in part to lower electricity costs and abundant cheap natural gas feedstock that’s supporting an expansion of production and new investment across a num-ber of energy-intensive indus-tries.
Nothing similar is occurring in Canada, unfortunately.
Finally, Canada’s stock mar-ket has missed out on the huge post-2009 gains recorded by the broad U.S. equity market index-es, thus dampening increases in overall wealth here and mak-ing it harder for our businesses to raise capital. Going forward, this disparity in equity mar-ket performance may further widen the already sizable gap in private sector productivity between the two countries.
Add it all up and the evi-dence suggests that after a half-decade of outpacing the United States in the growth of out-put, employment, consumer spending, and housing market activity, Canada is now facing a perhaps similar period of rela-tive underperformance. While Canada will certainly benefit as the U.S. economy accelerates, the reality is that the principal drivers of domestic economic expansion - consumer spending and housing investment - are largely tapped out on our side of the border.

Greater Trail Special Olympians brought home a bucket full of medals from the B.C. Special Olympic Summer Games in Langley last weekend.
The Region 1 contingent from the East and West Kootenays joined over 1,100 athletes and coaches for the three day event, winning a total of 62 medals: 11 gold, 16 silver, and 35 bronze.
Three Greater Trail swimmers led the way accounting for 17 of 27 Region 1 medals in the pool. Local swimmers Sherry Altrogge and Alyssa Berdusco each claimed six medals, with Altrogge swimming to an incredible five gold and one silver, and Berdusco capturing one gold and five silver medals, while Stuart Hawton also swam well picking up two silver and three bronze medals.
“It was fantastic,” said swim coach Collin Berdusco. “I knew that our ath-letes had worked hard in the past year, but I definitely knew that Sherry would improve the most and probably do the best at the meet, and she did.”
It was the first year of competition
for the 52-year-old Altrogge, who has worked hard in the pool all year to pre-pare for the Games.
It was also Berdusco’s first year as coach after spectating for many years, and while he is proud of his swimmers’ accomplishments, his emphasis is on improving every time they enter the pool and swimming personal bests.
“I don’t care how they do. A lot of times if they don’t get first, second, or third, you also have their times from the past and any improvement on their swim times is a success,” he said. “When you go there and you see the success that they have, you’re just so happy for them and whether it’s gold, silver, or bronze or just improving on their times, you know they’ve worked hard to reach that success every year, and it’s just amazing. They’re amazing, hard work-ing athletes.”
Outside the pool, Maria Veltri bowled to gold in single women’s scratch high score with a 242 in five-pin bowling.
The Trail Bocce team made up of Fred Crere, Bob Lattanzio, David Cold, and Neil Emery was also good as gold, while
Al Cummings won silver in men’s golf, missing gold by one stroke.
The event was the largest BC Special Olympic Summer Games ever, creating a great atmosphere and generating a unique camaraderie that transcended the competition.
“The success of our Trail Athletes this past weekend was largely due to the commitment from our athletes, but they could not have achieved what they did without the help of a tireless group of volunteer coaches,” said Ben Postmus. “Long time Trail residents Collin Berdusco, Alan and Linda Prough, Ozzie Ius, Leanne Harrison, Sheila Hawton, Brenda Clark, Gail Miller, and newcom-ers to our community Jakki Van Hemert, Mike Clarke, and Michelle Fletcher go above and beyond to get these athletes ready to compete and succeed at the provincial Level. You often don’t see their faces, but their dedication to these athletes is remarkable.”
The athletes have a good chance of competing for B.C. in the Canadian championships but await final results from BC Special Olympics.

AmericAn legion AA
B y J i m B a i l e yTimes Sports Editor
The West Kootenay Diamondbacks hurdled the first obstacle in its run at the Washington State American Legion AA District tournament in Spokane on Wednesday.
The Dbacks mercied Cheney 10-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning when Sean Barta knocked in the tenth run with two outs to end the game, and avoid elimination.
“I didn’t tell the kids this, but I thought we should 10-run them,” said co-coach Wayne McIntyre who had scouted the Cheney team the week before.
Tanner Johnson picked up the win going six innings and giving up just three hits on the way to the shutout. The run-shortened game also means that Johnson has an extra inning to pitch before he reaches his 10-inning quota and has to rest three days.
“We figured we had to win this game so don’t go against the odds, we’ll go with Tanner, so we’ll have Scotty (Davidson) for tomorrow if we win,” said McIntyre. “And they’re both very close, Scotty’s a big lefty and Tanner’s a righty, and he threw really well today.”
The Dbacks eventually squashed the butter-flies as they scored two in the third, and then exploded for six more in the fourth to take an 8-0 lead.
“It was a little scary at the start, slow to get out of the gate these guys, but they started see-ing the ball better, and their pitcher got tired.”
The win means Cheney goes home while the Dbacks enter the double knockout round, and will play Mt. Spokane today at 10 a.m., a team that has not lost a game all season.
“They’re going to be tough. I was speaking to one of the guys at the park, and he was saying they have a pretty strong team,” added McIntyre.
West Kootenay will start Davidson tomorrow with lefty Austin Tambellini set to go next. If the Dbacks win their next game goes at 5:30 p.m. Friday, lose and it’s at 10 a.m. at A.K. Jackson Park.

Steelers find silver lining
B y T i m e s s T a f fThe Trail Steelers
returned from the U12B Girls Softball Provincials in Sicamous on the weekend with plenty to be proud of.
After capturing gold at the U12C regionals in Warfield last month, the team stepped it up a notch in competing in the U12B tournament against 16 teams from across the province.
However in the opening round, the Steelers were in tough, going 1-3 that includ-ed a 7-2 loss to Surrey Storm a team that lost in the final, as well as losses to South Delta and Okanagan before winning its first game
against Abbotsford, 12-6.
The Steelers sat in 12th place overall, and would play in the sil-ver division playoffs, while the top eight teams played in the gold division.
A few tweaks and the West Kootenay girls were ready for the playoff round, says coach Pam Caron.
“The girls worked hard, battled, adjusted to the faster pitching and improved each game.”
Sunday morning the Steelers downed Nanaimo 13-4, and then took out Abbotsford 11-5 to send them to the sil-ver final.

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.
Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.
The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.
Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.
Opponent Registration:Individuals or organizations who intend to incur expenses as opponents must apply for registration with the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, August 12, 2013. Registration applications for opponents are available from Elections BC.

FROM PAGE 9 Facing Langford in
the final, Caron gave
the ball to left-hander Tessy Brandt to start. Brandt would not dis-appoint throwing all seven innings in a close 5-3 victory for the Steelers, and tak-ing gold in the Silver division.
It was a great opportunity for the team to play at a high-er level and respond the way the did, get-ting stronger as the tournament wore on.
An official with Softball BC invited the team to compete in the U12B BCs after seeing them play in Summerland.
“The Highlight for myself was the num-erous people that approached me (at different times) to say what a wonderful team
we were to watch,” said Caron in an email. “This came from two official scorekeepers, a couple umpires and even the head umpire . . . For me that was the best part of the tour-nament. As a coach you always think your own team rocks but to hear it that much and by different people who don’t even know your team was incred-ible.”
The epic season saw the Steelers lose just four game all year, win-ning the Summerland tournament, the West Kootenay League and final tournament, the U12C Regionals, and cap it off with top spot in the Silver division at the U12B provin-cials.

Leisure
Dear Annie: My daughter, “Elizabeth,” is a professional who is married to an older man. I’ll call him “Jacob.” They have two children.
Elizabeth recently was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and is going through intense chemotherapy. Early in her treatment, Jacob used to help a lot around the house with laundry and meals, and took good care of the kids. But she is half-way through her treat-ments, and although Jacob still looks after Elizabeth and the chil-dren, he expects her to do a lot more around the house. Of course, as soon as Elizabeth feels a little strong, she goes beyond her capacity and does too much.
This aggravates me. Elizabeth never demands that Jacob help more. I had an argument with him over it. On the day of one of her treat-ments, I reminded him
to be home in time to pick up the oldest child from school. He replied, “I will see when I will be finished at my mother’s.” I told him that on the day of the chemo, he cannot leave his wife alone with two children, supper and homework time. It is very tiring for her. He said he does not need to be reminded. Then we got into an argu-ment, and he said we do not love him, we only do things for our daughter, and we are lucky he does not close the door in our faces.
Annie, I worry about Elizabeth’s strength. We help as much as we can by cooking some meals, picking
up the oldest from school, helping him with homework and taking the youngest so Elizabeth can rest. But Jacob allows her to do the laundry, cooking and shopping while he cuts the bushes, cleans the gutters and prays (he is very religious). She is not going to get well if she is exhausted.
My sweet daugh-ter always takes her husband’s side, and my husband tells me to look after my own health, because I had a mild heart attack a few months ago. How do we handle this? -- Distraught Mother
Dear Distraught: We know you want Jacob to take over all of these chores, and we agree that he should do more on the days when Elizabeth has her chemo. But try to be more compassionate. Jacob is going through a difficult period, too, and also needs a break.
Please do what you can for your daugh-ter’s family. It is a great
help when you can cook a meal or take the kids. If you can afford to hire someone to assist on the days when Elizabeth has a chemo treatment, that would be an amazing gift. Otherwise, please back off a bit. You are not helping yourself or your daughter by get-ting into fights with her husband and add-ing stress to her life.
Dear Annie: “Iowa” wrote to say that her mother suggested she put down her 13-year-old cat because he has diabetes. She was upset that Mom was so nega-tive. But Mom may be wiser than you think.
I cared for my 18-year-old diabetic cat, who needed insu-lin shots daily. While the shots are easy to administer, the main problem is having to schedule your entire life around those injec-tions. If “Iowa” is still in school, has a boy-friend and perhaps a part-time job and a busy social calendar,
she might discover the responsibility of daily shots at regular times is a lot to incorporate. I was unable to accept a job that required irregular shifts and had to forgo summer vacations that involved being out of town unless I could take my
cat with me. Because I made sig-
nificant sacrifices for my cat, she enjoyed a good quality of life for five years. But the commitment is far more than just poking the cat with a needle. It is a major responsibil-ity she cannot shirk
when something more interesting comes up. -- Lifetime Cat Lover

For Friday, July 19, 2013ARIES(March 21 to April 19)You feel generous to oth-
ers today and will help those who are less fortunate if you can. If discussing how to share something, don’t give away the farm.
TAURUS(April 20 to May 20)Relations with others are
serious but considerate today. People are support-ive, but in practical ways. Nothing is frivolous.
GEMINI(May 21 to June 20)You might be able to visu-
alize a better way to do your job. You want to accomplish something today, and you want to do it fairly and right.
CANCER(June 21 to July 22)Discussions about the
care and education of chil-dren might come up today. Discussion with a romantic partner also will focus on future possibilities.
LEO(July 23 to Aug. 22)You want what’s best for
your family today, especially in a practical way. You’re looking for ways to solidify your home base.
VIRGO(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)Discussions with others
will be serious but reason-able today. Both parties will be inclined to see each oth-er’s point of view, which is a good head start.
LIBRA(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)You might want to spend
money on something luxu-rious today, but you won’t. Part of you does not want to be frivolous. This sen-sible part wants you to spend money on practical expen-ditures.
SCORPIO(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)You feel a need to have
a deeper understanding of who you are today. This is why you might be attracted to studies that promote this -- meditation, metaphysics,
yoga or spiritualism.SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)Feelings of selfless gener-
osity will make you put the needs of others before your own today. You won’t be denying yourself; it’s what you want to do.
CAPRICORN(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)Someone older, or perhaps
a teacher figure, will inspire you to be the best you can be today. This person might
suggest that you lend your efforts to a charitable group or a cause that works for the benefit of others.
AQUARIUS(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)Someone in a position of
authority might inspire you today. You might see that power and authority are use-ful if they are used in the right way.
PISCES(Feb. 19 to March 20)Any kind of teaching, reli-
gious meeting or philosoph-ical gathering will appeal to you today, because you want to understand more about what makes you tick. You also want to learn more.
YOU BORN TODAY You have a natural grace and style, which can be elegant. This can be evident both verbally and physically. You have high standards for yourself, which is why you are sometimes self-critical (and also sometimes criti-
cal of others). Personally, you have heroes that you admire. This year a major change could take place, perhaps as significant as something that occurred around 2004-05.
