The city will be clear in the wake of an acci-dental 4.5-million-litre dump of sewage into the Columbia River in late March, according to the City of Trail’s regional district direc-tor.

Robert Cacchioni said testing in the wake of the spill on the regional district’s main sewage line on the Old Trail Bridge on March 26 determined that the discharge was “non-deleterious” and posed no major risks

to aquatic or terrestrial life down stream.

“There is no indica-tion from Environment Canada or (Ministry of Environment) on potential penalties,” he said in his recent Regional District of Kootenay-Boundary (RDKB) report to city council.

In all, the spill cost the city $31,060, including $12,000 for the emergency work, an additional $16,000 for joint restraints, and a bill of $2,600 from the Ministry of Environment (MOE) for staff time. The city coughed up $460 for analysis of the waste discharge.

A new library ser-vice within the city’s hospital is expected to help Greater Trail attract and retain quali-fied healthcare profes-sionals.

A result of the partnership between the UBC Faculty of Medicine Southern Medical Program (SMP) and Interior Health Authority, the library on the third floor of the Kootenay

Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH) will provide full resources for all health disci-plines within the hos-pital, and support third year medical students based at KBRH.

Bringing togeth-er 2,000 e-journals, thousands of books (through inter-library loan), e-books and online nursing and medical tools through three computer work-stations, the library will buttress the pursuit of healthy knowledge at KBRH.

Ruth Rochlin, IH library manager for the Okanagan and West Kootenay, said although the service is

Teck and unions reach

tentative deal

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFERTimes Staff

The fruits of a new contract are for the taking for Teck Trail Operations’ two largest unions after the sides reached a tentative collective agreement Friday.

Teck and locals 480 and 9705 of the United Steelworkers reached the tentative collective agreement for Trail operations after one month of negotiations that began in earnest April 30.

Although some details of the agreement are left to nail down, Doug Jones, president of United Steelworkers Local 480, said the deal was a good one, boding well for its ratifica-tion.

The tentative deal is expected to carry an 18 per cent increase over five years of the contract, a 12 per cent boost in pension, and a $10,000 signing bonus.

“Those are the highlights of it right now but it is a tentative agreement so we really don’t want to get too far into this before we give out the final details,” Jones said. “But those num-bers are there.”

The contract covers 1,180 people in Local 480 on the production and maintenance side, and 170 people in Local 9705 for the office and technical workers.

Jones said the contract should be in place while “big change” takes place to the Teck workforce over the next couple of years. He pointed to the hundreds of people set to retire over the life of the new contract.

“So that will be a big change, for sure,” he said. “That will also bring a lot of opportunity for new employees.”

The union will schedule a ratification vote to be held over the coming days. No other terms of the agreement will be disclosed until the ratifi-cation vote is complete.

Some factors that may cause the actual results to vary include difficulties in holding the ratification vote and obtaining union ratifica-tion of the tentative collective agreement.

The deal follows on the heels of a “really suc-cessful bargaining in 2008” for the union’s now expired contract, after a three-month strike in 2005.

In February Teck Resources Ltd. posted a record annual profit, as it looked to increase copper production and launch its oilsands oper-ations.

The four pillars of the local Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital’s new third floor library include (from left) Ruth Rochlin, IH library manager for the Okanagan and West Kootenay, Trish Boleen, library technician, Diana Bang, learning services librarian for the UBC Southern Medical Program, and Dr. Cheryl Hume, Integrated Community Clerkships site director for UBC’s SMP.

FROM PAGE 1 for all Interior Health staff and the students, it will have spin-off benefits for people in Greater Trail who utilize the hospital.

“For the community, this means we can train and attract and recruit people ultimately to the rural areas,” she said. “That’s the whole reason why the distributed education program has been brought down.”

The library allows phys-icians in remote and rural areas to actually feel like they are able to have the same sort of resources as elsewhere, said Dr. Cheryl Hume, Integrated

Community Clerkships site director for UBC’s SMP. The library supports the doctors but it also supports the local medical and nursing staff and other health care staff to keep current, she added, to keep up-to-date with their medical practice.

“It means we will take an active role in training med-ical students that will come back to practice in the rural areas, and that’s part of the initiative here,” Hume said about the pilot project.

Rochlin concurred.“People in the more out-

lying areas need more access to the electronic information

because they have fewer pro-fessional colleagues to dis-cuss things with.”

T h e I n t e g r a t e d Community Clerkships (ICC) provides experience for students who are inter-ested in practicing family and specialty medicine in a smaller community like Greater Trail.

The ICC program uses an interdisciplinary team approach to medicine, with students exposed to a model of patient care “whereby family physicians work in close collaboration” with a network of specialists.

In addition to caring for

patients in a hospital set-ting, ICC students in Trail look after patients in vari-ous ambulatory settings and gain clinical and procedural experience.

The costs of the library are embedded in the IHA’s budget for the four regional hospi-tals — including Kelowna, Vernon and Kamloops — but the KBRH day-to-day main-tenance will now be handled by health records staff.

Local physicians who have joined UBC clinical faculty and the medical students can also access UBC library e-resources, supported by UBC librarian Diana Bang.

Library benefits entire community

FROM PAGE 1The RDKB is currently investigating the

possibility of proceeding with a claim against Fortis BC for damages to the interceptor line on the bridge.

However, the clamp’s failure is still unknown, considering there was no normal operation of a pressure main that would result in the separation of a coupling.

The regional interceptor pipe that services Rossland, Warfield, Rivervale, Oasis and West Trail is comprised of several sections of steel pipe, held together with a clamp, securing it to the piers of the bridge high above the river.

After the leak occurred liquid sewage was re-routed through a bypass valve into the river, while solid waste went into a holding tank.

The city sampled the materials that had been going into the river, probably a half dozen times or so over the course of the day-long spill.

It was tested for the total suspended solids and biological oxygen demand according to the permit the regional district’s wastewater treatment facility had been given.

Alan Stanley, director of environmental services with the RDKB, said at the time the spill was “mostly liquid.”

The RDKB also made a motion for staff to contact Fortis BC for pre and post inspection documents and reports on the pipe.

Root intrusionProblems with the regional interceptor

line at Wellington and Watmough roads in Warfield have caused further sewage spills.

Tree roots intruding on the line caused spills of 150 litres at Wellington and 120,000 litres at Watmough in early spring.

FROM PAGE 1The Vancouver-based company reported

a recent profit of nearly $2.8 billion or $4.50 per diluted share on $11.5 billion in revenue for 2011, up from $1.8 billion or $3.08 per diluted share on $9.2 billion in revenue in 2010.

Teck ended 2011 with $4.4 billion in cash. Trail Operation’s gross profit for 2011 nearly doubled to $207 million from $107 million in 2010.

The deal for Trail was preceded by Teck’s Highland Valley Copper property near Kamloops in February, which provided a four per cent wage increase annually for five years, a $10,000 signing bonus, and improvements to the pension plan.

Teck is a diversified resource company in mining and mineral development with major business units focused on copper, steelmaking coal, zinc and energy.

Officials have been search-ing for a solution to gener-ating sustainability in rural communities for years, but one woman believes decisions carry more weight if the com-munity has an input.

The bi-annual BC Rural Summit is hosting a series of workshops and lectures about growing sustainable rural communities in Grand Forks from Thursday to Saturday.

“There’s certainly a role for the federal and provincial gov-

ernment, private sector and business, but if you’re going to keep your community sustain-able, the solution has to come from within the community,” said Maureen LeBourdais the manager of the smart planning for communities program at the Fraser Basin Council.

The public forum will attract over 150 people from all walks of life—including some city councilors, volunteer organ-izations and regional directors from Greater Trail.

The BC Rural Committees Summit is co-sponsored by the

Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and the BC Rural Network. The BC Rural Network was founded in 2004 to identify problems and find solutions for the complexities that engulf remote commun-ities.

The conference includes several workshops and presen-tations that aim to raise aware-ness about remote commun-ities within the province. It will cover topics ranging from learning how to apply strategic ideas to hands-on work dem-onstrate how to reflect areas

of concerns for rural commun-ities from people facing similar problems.

“We have everything from education to the food economy, tourism and planning or social enterprise,” said LeBourdais. “There are several different scenes that do emerge from summit to summit because we try to get a wide cross section of workshops.”

A keynote address from Selkirk College’s CEO of Angus Graeme focuses on life-long learning based within the community.

THE CANADIAN PRESSPRINCE GEORGE,

B.C. - An employee of one Prince George pharmacy says the city’s caterpillar prob-lem is so bad that the creatures have actually crawled right into her store.

Pharmacy cashier Myrna Kewin says huge caterpillar clusters are the size of footballs and are appearing on local tree trunks.

She says the bugs are eating the leaves off trees and locals are complaining about the problem.

A city spokesperson was unaware of the problem when con-tacted Friday, and parks staff were unavailable for comment on the weekend.

But nursery store owner Jos Van Hage says it could cost the city more to replace the trees than spray the caterpillars.

He says the worst is yet to come and the problem is going to be devastating for the city.

THE CANADIAN PRESSTERRACE, B.C. -

Investigators are brav-ing dangerous ava-lanche conditions while removing the wreckage of a helicopter crash in northwestern, B.C.

Three people were killed Friday when the A-Star 350 helicopter went down on Sleeping Beauty Mountain near Terrace.

Police say investi-gators encountered a

small snow slide during the recovery of the bod-ies Saturday.

They say Transportation Safety Board investigators continue to remove wreckage from the crash site.

Bailey Helicopters

has confirmed that one of the pilots killed in the crash was 45-year-old Peter Bryant.

Police say they have now identified all three men killed in the crash but won’t confirm their identities until next of kin have been notified.

THE CANADIAN PRESSVICTORIA - British Columbia

students who feel they are being bullied will soon be able to report the behaviour anonymously on a new smartphone application being introduced by the provin-cial government.

Teachers are also being asked to dedicate one profes-sional development day per year to deal with bullying as part of a strategy aimed at reducing the corrosive behaviour, going beyond laws to punish offenders and protect children.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark announced a $2 million, 10-point strategy to combat bullying and ensure every child feels safe, accepted and respected.

She said the fight against bullying needs more focus on

actions rather than laws that punish the offending behaviour, because laws can’t weed out the root causes of bullying.

The ERASE program - Expect Respect and A Safe Education - goes beyond proposed amended anti-bullying laws in Ontario and B.C.’s 2007 laws targeting bullying, Clark said.

“We are moving well past that and building in education and training tools for folks in schools and resources for par-ents to make sure they can deal with it to try and raise the pro-file of it across the province,” said Clark in Surrey where she announced her strategy.

Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has said he’s prepar-ing to amend the province’s Accepting School Act to prohibit

Catholic Schools from vetoing student gay clubs.

“My advice to Ontario is the legislation sends a message,” said Clark. “It says government and society is concerned about this, but laws do not on their own stop bullying, and we have to do more.”

She said her strategy, which is set to be introduced in B.C. schools next September, will lead the country in addressing bullying, with a five-year train-ing program for teachers and community workers that helps identify and address bullying.

The plan also includes dedi-cated safe-school co-ordinators in every school district, stronger codes of conduct for schools and provincial guidelines for threat assessments.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/ANDREW VAUGHAN

Bridget, the fictional face of a safe-driving campaign, adorns a billboard in Halifax on Friday. Halifax Harbour Bridges launched the campaign May 14 to raise awareness of speeding, tailgating and texting while driving on the two bridges that span the city’s harbour. The campaign has received mixed reviews.

THE CANADIAN PRESSEDMONTON - A

teacher suspended for giving students zeros says he plans to con-tinue his fight and hopefully spark a wider debate on where car-ing ends and coddling begins.

“This is not the best thing for students, so I decided to take a stand on it,” Lynden Dorval, a teacher at Ross Sheppard High School in Edmonton, said Friday.

“These are high school students. These are not little kids. It’s time to become an adult and take respon-sibility for your own actions.”

Dorval, 61, has been suspended by the Edmonton Public School Board for refus-ing for more than a year to stop handing out zeros for assignments that haven’t been com-pleted.

The physics teacher said he knew that his action would lead to an equal and oppos-ite reaction from the board.

“I think now that I’ve gone public it’s guaranteed I’ll be ter-minated,” he said. “I’m embarrassing my employer, not being a good employee.

“But I was prepared for that. I have 35 years (in). I can collect my pension.”

He said he plans to appeal the indefinite suspension by argu-ing the principal who ordered the no-zero policy was acting beyond his authority.

Dorval said things changed a year and a half ago when the principal ordered “out of the blue” that zeros would no longer be handed out.

Instead, students who didn’t turn in their reports or write exams would have to make up the work.

Edgar Schmidt, superintendent of the Edmonton Public School Board, said principals have been given latitude based on research.

The theory, he said, is that a zero doesn’t reflect a student’s knowledge of a course. Missing an assignment may actually indicate behaviour problems or other issues.

Schmidt said the more effective method is to get a student to do the work through additional classes, after school or at home.

“It’s much better for us to let students know

they’re not let off the hook by not completing assignments,” he said.

“Sometimes just indicating a zero can be interpreted we’re just giving up on you and you’re not worth the effort - and that’s the piece we do not want to see happen.”

Dorval said getting kids to make up missed work is a lot different on the front lines.

“There’s too much manpower involved,” he said. “Tracking them down is just a huge hassle and even then there’s still no incentive for them to come.

“To me (the zero) works incredibly well. I show them what their (overall) mark is with the zero and it’s up to them to come to me.”

Dorval suggested it’s really about bottom lines. Schmidt, he said, is gunning for a 100 per cent completion rate in high school within a decade.

“To me the princi-pal has decided this is a way of raising the marks, pushing an extra few kids through by inflating their marks by not counting zeros.”

THE CANADIAN PRESSHALIFAX - Some

say she’s a confident, crime-fighting avenger, devoted to protecting drivers in Atlantic Canada’s largest city.

Oh, and she does it while looking good in heels.

But others say “Bridget” - the fictional face of a sexy, safe-driving ad campaign in Halifax - is an offensive stereotype that suc-ceeds only in insulting men and degrading women.

In particular, the campaign has crashed and burned with women’s rights advocates, who argue women have for too long been objectified in advertising and the media.

“We were quite sur-prised and disappointed

with the approach,” said Irene Smith, executive director of the Avalon Sexual Assault Centre, a feminist organization in Halifax.

“It just seems to me that it’s offensive to many, many women who’ve experienced any form of sexual vio-lence or harassment or been subjected to sexist jokes and innuendoes.”

Halifax Harbour Bridges launched the campaign May 14 to raise awareness of speeding, tailgating and texting while driv-ing on the two bridges that span the city’s har-bour.

Minor fender-bend-ers have been known to snarl traffic and cause annoying back-ups for the thousands of vehicles that cross the Macdonald and

MacKay bridges daily.At the centre of the

campaign’s billboards and banners is Bridget: an attractive young woman with dark, cat-eye makeup and slight-ly pursed lips.

Smith said the tim-ing of the campaign’s launch - during Sexual Assault Awareness Month - was especially distressing.

Her organization has written a letter asking the bridge commission to pull the ads and pub-licly apologize for “a campaign that sexual-izes and uses women as means for the commis-sion’s message.”

Halifax Harbour Bridges is a com-mission of the Nova Scotia government, but receives no fund-ing from taxpayers. The $50,000-campaign

was funded by bridge tolls, said communica-tions manager Alison MacDonald.

She said the com-mission wanted to get people’s attention with “a strong, female character” in the same vein as a superhero in The Avengers or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

“We wanted to have a campaign that’s a lit-tle humorous, tongue-in-cheek, and we also wanted the messages to come from a person and not an organiza-tion,” said MacDonald.

OPINION

Thomas Mulcair and the politics of deja-vuHaving been out-

of-country for several weeks, it takes a few days

to catch-up on the very busy Thomas Mulcair. And when one does, the overwhelm-ing sense is déjà vu.

It conjures up mem-ories of David Lewis, back when the federal NDP rhet-oric was full of “blue-eyed sheiks” and “corporate wel-fare bums.” Heady stuff, but a trifle problematic.

Take all this talk about “Dutch disease,” and how a soaring, resource-driven Canadian dollar is crippling manufacturing.

Nothing unusual about a strong dollar

To be sure, the dollar is currently strong – for instance, trading a little above par for eight of the last 12 months. But there’s nothing historically unusual about a strong dollar.

In fact, it was gener-ally above par from 1952 through 1960, from 1972 through 1974, and again in 1976. Throughout the 1960s, it was consistently above 90 cents.

And both the 50s and 60s were good decades

economically, averaging real growth between 6 and 7 per cent per annum. Put another way, a strong dol-lar has been historically compatible with Canadian prosperity.

Indeed, perhaps the real anomaly was the currency devaluation that started in the late 70s, ultimately bringing the dollar down to its 2002 post-war low of 62 cents. No doubt, this was a competitive assist to manu-facturers. But it also meant that Canadian families and businesses had to pay much more for any products with significant imported con-tent.

Think of it this way. If the dollar were to go from par to, say, 50 cents, then Canadians would need to provide twice as many exports in order to pay for the same volume of imports.

Or, if you like, run twice as fast to stay in the same place. Intuitively, that doesn’t seem to be a par-ticularly desirable propos-ition.

In any event, there’s a lot more going on than just the exchange rate. While

the share of Canada’s GDP attributable to manufac-turing has declined, so too has the relative import-ance of manufacturing in the United States, Britain, France, Japan, Germany, and Italy. In other words, it’s a phenomenon common to most major advanced economies.

In part, this can be seen as a function of develop-ment itself. Just as the once dominant agricultural sec-tor became progressively smaller as a proportion of the whole, so too has manu-facturing. Increasing pro-ductivity – which produces higher living standards – inevitably does that.

And then there’s the rise

of the previously under-developed world, bringing new competitors into the game. In the 60s and 70s, there was much impas-sioned talk about the moral imperative to provide “trade not aid.” Well, now it’s hap-pening.

Still, although Mulcair’s position is substantively flawed, it’s also politically coherent.

For one thing, it’s a neat ideological fit for his party, the federal NDP having a long history of hostility to the oil and gas industry. Plus it plays particularly well in Quebec, which is now the single most important part of the NDP electoral base.

And most intriguingly, it offers the prospect of abort-ing the coalition that Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have painstakingly constructed. By combining a big win in Ontario with overwhelming strength in the West, Harper won a decisive majority last year. But if Mulcair can use the “Dutch disease” to sub-stantially detach Ontario from that coalition, then it’s a brand new ballgame – one which might even produce an NDP government.

And going by the poll-ing-related giddiness of the commentariat, that’s per-haps a very real prospect. But is it really?

Mulcair’s honeymoon period

Barring some extraordin-ary development, the next federal election is 3 years away. This leaves ample time for Mulcair’s honey-moon glow to dissipate.

And don’t forget the Ed Broadbent boom. For a brief period in the middle 80s, Broadbent’s NDP topped the polls. However, when the actual election came along in November 1988, they were back in third place with just a touch over 20 per cent of the vote.

In any event, two recent polls suggest that talk of a Conservative decline may be a tad premature. In May, both Angus Reid and Abacus pegged Conservative sup-port at 37 per cent, exactly the same as in their final pre-election polls last year.

It’ll be an interesting ride. Stay tuned.

Good to see Guy Bertrand’s column on May 31 (Old bridge left out of ambitious downtown plan).

A month ago when the sewer line, which runs across the old

bridge, broke I’m sure it was not repaired by two guys with a wheel barrow and a screw driver.

The equipment used to repair the sewer line probably

weighed about 5 tons. We would just like to walk across the old bridge. Like Guy Bertrand says, put up a sign and use at your own risk.

There are just a

few people that want the bridge closed and there are only about 1,000 of us that want it open. The rest don’t really care.

Two new solitudes – Part 1There was a time when

we talked about the “two solitudes” in Canada, referring to

a divide between French and English Canada. Although differ-ences still exist between our two founding cul-tures, they are now more often celebrated than not.

Over the past few years, however, I have seen “two new solitudes” emerge. Let’s call them “Neo-Conservative” and “Progressive.” Though we may speak the same language, we really do not understand each other. I notice this in the House of Commons, particular-ly. There are major differences in how these two new solitudes perceive the world and I would like to discuss these over my next two columns.

One solitude sees for Canada a role on the world stage that is a significant shift from the values that our country has tradition-ally represented. The current Conservative government wants

Canada to become a proud mili-tary nation that makes major contributions to war efforts in areas such as Afghanistan and Libya. This focus means that

our military must be equipped and trained to engage in more combat missions through-out the world, usually at the side of the US in NATO-led mis-sions. The latest military technol-ogy, like the F-35 first strike jets, needs to be in place to fit into

this version. The other solitude believes

that Canada has lost its leader-ship role in world peacekeeping and that we should return to our role of working within the United Nations and concentrate on making defence a priority for our armed forces.

This change would require that Canada leave Afghanistan and decline other missions with NATO, an organization origi-nally set up in 1949 to protect Europe from communist aggres-sion. Canada should play a greater role as a broker in peace-

ful settlements in the Middle East, Africa and other areas of conflict.

Military purchases should provide the equipment to get the job done and keep our troops, and civilians, safe.

This past November I intro-duced a Private Member’s bill to create a federal Department of Peace. Bill C-373 passed first reading in the House of Commons on November 30, 2011.

The work of a Department of Peace would be to strengthen non-military means of peace-making by developing policies and programs that promote national and international con-flict prevention, non-violent intervention, mediation and peaceful conflict resolution.

Bill C-373 outlines wide-ran-ging objectives for a Department of Peace that would tackles domestic and international responsibilities in the areas of human security and education.

The notion that there can be peace in the world may be a uto-pian ideal but each generation owes it to the next to make a dedicated attempt to get as close to it as humanly possible.

Keeping HouseKeeping House

An editorial from the Toronto Star

Poverty can be tricky to define and quantify. By almost any stan-dards a poor Canadian child is far better off than one living in most other countries. But as Parliament recognized when it vowed to elimi-nate child poverty by 2000, that hardly frees us from our duty as a rich and caring society to do the best we can for those in need.

By the high standard Brian Mulroney’s Progressive Conservative govern-ment set in 1989, we are falling sadly short. Almost a generation later the haunting face of poverty in this coun-try continues to be that of a child, the United Nations Children’s Fund confirms.

“Canada’s child pov-

erty rate is higher today than when that target was first announced,” a new UNICEF report finds. (The agency defines poverty as liv-ing on less than half the national median income.) We now rank a dismal 24th of 35 industrial coun-tries, behind Britain, Australia and much of Europe. And even more disturbingly, our child poverty rate of 13.3 per cent is nearly two points higher than our national rate of 11.4 per cent. We’re failing our kids.

While Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government may not care to admit it, others are doing better. That includes rich nations such as Australia, Germany, the Nordic states and Japan. It

also includes Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta and Latvia. In all those plac-es - and more - the child poverty rate is lower than the general rate. Canada’s performance is shabby by compari-son.

As the United Nations right-to-food envoy pointed out earlier this month, in a report that sparked much Tory indigna-tion, hunger is a real-ity here. Some 900,000 people relied on food banks last year, 30 years after they sprang up as a stopgap amid the 1981-82 recession. That’s an inconve-nient truth for poverty deniers. Meanwhile, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives calculates that Ottawa has forgone $48 bil-lion in revenue over the past decade by cutting

personal and corporate taxes. We don’t lack the means to address pov-erty if we choose.

Reports come and go. UNICEF Canada used this one to ask Ottawa to hike the Child Tax Benefit to an indexed $5,000 a year from $3,485, and to let parents with kids under 18 to retain more earned income from the Working Income Tax Benefit and employ-ment insurance. Good ideas. But more fun-damentally, UNICEF urged our politicians to muster the political will to make children a budget priority, giving them “first call” on our resources.

At root, we need a change of mindset. Other countries find ways to put the kids first.

So should we.

Canada needs to muster will to ease child poverty

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSNEW YORK - Richard

Dawson brought a saucy, unabashedly touchy-feely style to TV game shows as host of “Family Feud.”

The British-born enter-tainer, who died Saturday at age 79 from complications related to esophageal cancer, earlier had made his mark in the unlikely 1960s sitcom hit “Hogan’s Heroes,” which mined laughs from a Nazi POW camp whose prisoners hoodwink their captors and run the place themselves.

But it is as the kissing, wisecracking quizmaster of “Feud” that he will be remem-bered.

The show, which initially ran from 1976 to 1985, pitted a pair of families against each other as they tried to guess the most popular answers to poll questions such as “What do people give up when they go on a diet?”

Dawson made his hearty, soaring pronouncement of the phrase “Survey says...” a national catchphrase among

the show’s fans.He won a daytime Emmy

Award in 1978 as best game show host. Tom Shales of The Washington Post called him “the fastest, brightest and most beguilingly caus-tic interlocutor since the late great Groucho bantered and parried on ‘You Be Your Life.”’ The show was so popular it was released as both daytime and syndicated evening ver-sions.

And it was quickly validat-ed by “Saturday Night Live,” with Bill Murray in a satir-ical homage to Dawson as a leering, nasty figure who even slapped one contestant (John Belushi) for getting too fresh.

Not that everyone approved.

In his classic 1981 cultural analysis “Within the Context of No Context,” George W.S. Trow identified “the import-ant moment in the history of television” as the moment when Dawson asked his con-testants “to guess what a poll of 100 people had guessed

would be the height of the average American woman.

“Guess what they’ve guessed,” sniffed Trow, harp-ing on the meaninglessness of such an enterprise. “Guess what they’ve guessed the AVERAGE is.”

Obviously, “Feud” fans would have feuded with Trow’s dismissive attitude.

For one thing, Dawson played the show, and his duties presiding over it, for laughs.

On one episode, he posed this question to a contestant: “During what month of preg-nancy does a woman begin to look pregnant?”

She blurted out “September,” then, too late, realized this was a ridiculous response.

All the better for Dawson, who couldn’t stop laughing - or milking the moment for continued laughs from the audience.

His swaggering, randy manner (and working-bloke’s British accent) set him apart from other TV quizmasters,

who, more often than not, tempered any boisterous inclinations with defiant smoothness. Not Dawson, who was overtly physical, prone to invading his con-testants’ personal space - and especially the women, each of whom he kissed without exception.

At the time the show bowed out in 1985, executive producer Howard Felsher estimated that Dawson had kissed “somewhere in the vicinity of 20,000.”

“I kissed them for luck and love, that’s all,” Dawson said at the time.

One of them he kissed was Gretchen Johnson, an attractive young contestant who came on with members of her family in 1981.

She and Dawson began dating, and, after a decade together, they wed in 1991. (Dawson is survived by Gretchen and their daugh-ter Shannon, as well as two sons, Mark and Gary, from his first marriage, and four grandchildren.)

RICHARD DAWSON

Actor rose to fame as host of ‘Family Feud’

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSLOS ANGELES - Kathryn Joosten, a char-

acter actress best known as the crotchety, yet loveable, Karen McCluskey on “Desperate Housewives” and the president’s secretary on “The West Wing,” has died. She was 72.

Joosten, who had battled lung cancer for 11 years, died Saturday at her home in Los Angeles, her publicist Nadine Jolson said.

Joosten “was surrounded by love and humour ‘til the end,” her family said in a statement. “We are laughing through our tears.”

Joosten won two Emmy awards for her por-trayal of Mrs. McCluskey, who kept a close eye on her Wisteria Lane neighbours on “Desperate Housewives.”

The hit show ended its eight-year run on ABC last month with a series finale in which Joosten’s character passed away. Her charac-ter’s battle with cancer was a story line in the show.

Joosten’s “Desperate Housewives” co-stars took to Twitter to express their condolences.

“Rest in peace, she was an amazing woman and a wonderful actress,” Felicity Huffman wrote.

Brenda Strong said in a tweet: “Wisteria Lane won’t be the same without you.”

Joosten was a psychiatric nurse and single mother in suburban Chicago when she began her acting career at 42.

She was an advocate for lung cancer aware-ness and research and sat on the board of gov-ernors for the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Active in animal rights causes, she appeared with other celebrities at a 2008 news confer-ence in Los Angeles to ask the city to abandon a project for a $40 million elephant enclosure at the Los Angeles Zoo.

THE CANADIAN PRESSVICTORIA - British billionaire Richard

Branson has apologized to B.C. Premier Christy Clark for inviting her to join him for a naked kitesurfing adventure.

Branson met Clark last week after the inaugural fight of his Virgin Atlantic airline from London to Vancouver.

Later, he issued an invitation on his blog that included a photo of a naked model rid-ing on his back while kitesurfing.

Clark said she found the offer disrespect-ful, and Branson has taken to Twitter to issue an apology, saying the invitation was a joke and no offence was meant.

Clark said this is a case of a lighthearted joke backfiring, but she accepts the apology.

“Lighthearted jokes often have a place, but I don’t think that this was appropriate,” she said. “Of course, I accept his apology.”

She originally turned down the kitesurf-ing offer with a joke of her own, saying if the invitation is Branson’s best pick-up line, there may be a reason the name of his com-pany is Virgin.

BY TIMES STAFFIn anticipation of the 50th NHL

Draft, The NHL’s Central Scouting just came out with its final rankings and six BCHL players made the top 200.

The draft goes June 22-23 at Pittsburgh’s Consol Energy Center and will see 211 players chosen by the league’s 30 teams -- and will be staged in front of thousands of fans and televised around the world.

Russian born Nail Yakupov of the Ontario Hockey Leagues’s Sarnia Sting led the rankings at number one, with Ryan Murray from the Western Hockey League’s Everett Silvertips predicted to go second. Mikhail Grigorenko another Russian-born entity, is a centreman for the Quebec Ramparts and is slotted in third spot.

Meanwhile, the Prince George Spruce Kings’ put two players in the top rankings of the world’s best

18-year-old skaters from junior, high-school and college teams across North America and Europe.

The Kings’ Jujhar Khaira is the highest ranked of BCHL players, moving into 74th spot from his mid-term rank of 80. Line-mate Paul De Jersey rocketed up the rankings, from 203rd at the midterm to 98th overall. De Jersey led the BCHL in scoring last season with 41 goals and 57 assists for 98 points, while Jujhar finished in 10th spot with 29-50-79.

Defenceman Reece Wilcox of the Merrit Centennials was the second highest BCHL ranked player at 90th while Morgan Zulinich from Salmon Arm ranked 126th.

Wade Murphy of the Victoria Grizzlies came in at 142nd and Alex Kerfoot from the Coquitlam Express had the biggest drop, going from an 81st ranking at the midterm to 165th in final Central Scouting polls.

The Edmonton Oilers will have the first pick in the NHL Draft fol-lowed by Columbus Blue Jackets and the Montreal Canadiens.

BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

The Kootenay Cinch n’ Saddle 4H Club in con-junction with the Nelson 4H Club and the Nelson equestrian vaulters, gathered for a fun week-end of exhibitions and riding clinics at the Trail Horseman Grounds.

About 25 participants attended clinics that helped local 4H members improve their skills in Western and English riding, showmanship, and equestrian vaulting, and prepared them for the club’s much bigger and busier stock show in July.

“It’s the horsey kids of the Kootenays (that are involved),” said organizer Leah Hope. “We wanted a fun clinic to start getting them thinking of a work ethic because they have to schedule their day, arrange how they look after their horses and how they get to these different (venues.)”

One of the highlights of the weekend was the equestrian vaulting exhibition and clinic. A cross between gymnastics and dance on the back of a trotting horse, a combination of strength and grace.

“It’s a performance sport for sure,” said eques-trian vaulting coach Naomi Weber.

Weber coaches the Nelson Riding Club’s eques-trian vaulting team that consists of 16 members including vaulters Korynn Weber, age 15, and 12-year-old Kaylee Shukin.

“If you have gymnastics experience or dance experience, and you like horses, it’s a great way of pulling it all together,” added Weber. “We do have some people that do it recreationally and build up that confidence to perform it. So we try to work on life skills through the whole discipline of vaulting, so that they come out with being able to be confident, and sure of themselves and (learn) team work.”

In competitive vaulting, vaulters compete as individuals, pairs, and teams of three. The vaulting horse is specially trained, and moves in a 15-metre circle, directed by a lunger (or “longeur”), who stands in the center of the circle.

The vaulter, horse, and lunger compete as a

team with scores weighted for each performance. “We all get scored together to get a final score,

but the weight is placed more heavily on the vault-er, but we all are factored into that,” said Weber.

Beginning vaulters compete at a walk or trot and usually on smaller horses, while experienced vaulters compete at the canter on larger breeds.

Korynn Weber has been training in equestrian vaulting for seven years and Kaylee for three.

“Starting’s not that hard, it’s easier than you think. Once you get up there it gets harder and harder, you have tougher competition and every-thing has to be perfect,” said Korynn.

Both Korynn and Kaylee performed at the grounds, exhibiting a variety of elements includ-ing mounts, handstands, tumbling, kneeling and standing moves, and are looking forward to com-peting.

“You meet so many people at competitions, it’s almost more that than the actual competing part that’s fun,” she said.

Competing in pairs is even more difficult than singles, for despite the size of the horse, it does get crowded up there, added Korynn.

The dynamic duo will unveil their first pairs performance in an upcoming competition in Chilliwack next week.

The 4H Club promotes the development of youth through various activities and community events.

BY TIMES STAFFTRAIL -- The Trail

Smoke Eaters made a bit of elbow room on its roster Thursday announcing trans-actions that sent four players to new teams.

To complete an earlier deal, the Smokies sent forward Taylor House to the Whitecourt Wolverines of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

The 20-year-old House was acquired midway through the 2011-12 season in a five-player deal with Alberni Valley. He scored 4 goals and 14 points in 48 games with Trail.

“We’re just trying to move kids on, we got some new kids com-ing in, and stuff in the works to try to get a little older and a little more experience,” stat-ed head coach and gen-eral manager Bill Birks.

Forward Kyle Horsman (94) was also traded to Whitecourt for future considera-tions.

The Sechelt prod-uct scored 7 points in 40 games in his rookie BCHL campaign.

Meanwhile the Prince George Spruce Kings acquired the rights to 19-year-old forward Adam Fares.

Despite a promis-ing start, the six-foot-four forward suffered a concussion early in the season and appeared in only 15 games with the Smoke Eaters after being traded from Victoria. He scored 4 goals and 9 points for the Smokies.

In another trans-action, Trail traded for-ward Brandon Long (93) to the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s Battlefords North Stars for future considera-tions.

Long has poten-tial, he scored 8 goals and 21 points in his rookie BCHL season, appearing in 52 games with the Smoke Eaters.

The trades pare the Smokies lineup down to 17 players, includ-ing lone goalie Lyndon Stanwood, leaving room to build for the next season.

“All three players were great kids for our hockey club,” “At the same time our team gets a little bit older as we re-tool for next sea-son.”

Smoke signals: The Smoke Eaters

will also be participat-ing in the Kamloops Two Rivers Hockey showcase.

The camp runs from June 15-17, and will provide Birks and the Smokies coaching staff an opportunity to scout players they missed in the spring camp.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSDUBLIN, Ohio - Tiger Woods picked

the right place to match Jack Nicklaus for career PGA Tour wins, and with a shot that even left Nicklaus amazed.

Two shots behind with three holes to play, his ball in an impossible spot behind the 16th green, Woods holed a flop shot from 50 feet away that turned bogey into birdie and sent him on his way to a stun-ning comeback Sunday in the Memorial.

Woods made three birdies on his last four holes for a 5-under 67, matching the lowest score of the final round, and he finished in style. He hit 9-iron to just inside 10 feet, and raised his putter - a pose that Nicklaus made famous for so many years - well before the ball tumbled into the cup.

It was his fifth win at Muirfield Village, and the 73rd of his PGA Tour career to match Nicklaus at No. 2 on the all-time list. Sam Snead won a record 82 times.

For Woods, it was a dramatic end to his worst three-tournament stretch as a pro, and it came with the U.S. Open looming.

He started the day four shots behind and wound up with a two-shot victory over Andres Romero (67) and Rory Sabbatini, who was in control of the tour-

nament until he fell victim again to some old magic by Woods.

Woods said he didn’t miss a shot all day, though that flop shot stands out.

“The most u n b e l i e v a b l e , gutsy shot I’ve

ever seen,” Nicklaus said from the TV booth. “Look at the position he was in. If he’s short, the tournament is over. If he’s long, the tournament is over. He puts it in the hole.”

Nicklaus shared those thoughts with Woods as the winner walked off the 18th green. Woods smiled and said, “How about that, huh?”

Woods won for the second time this year, and moved to No. 4 in the world.

This was more impressive than his five-shot win in the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in March, when he had a one-shot lead on a course where he could get by with par. The Memorial required much more work, especially when he had to go after birdies in the final hour. And that’s what he did.

He reached the par-5 15th into the wind in two shots to set up a two-putt birdie and get within one shot of Sabbatini. But just like that, it looked as if his chances were over when his tee shot bounded through the green and into a

tough lie behind the green.Woods is famous for chipping in at

Memorial, particularly on the 14th hole. This was tougher by a mile, on fast greens with a shot that required close to perfec-tion.

“I had to take a cut at it because the lie wasn’t as great,” he said. “It came out just perfect.”

With a full swing, the ball came out soft and began tracking toward the hole. It caught the right edge of the cup and dropped for a most improbable birdie, and Woods took two steps to the left and delivered a full uppercut not seen from him in some time.

Sabbatini didn’t need to see it. He was on the 15th green, scrambling for par, when Muirfield Village shook with the loudest roar of the day. The South African suddenly was tied for the lead, but not for long. He hit his tee shot into the right bunker on the 16th, the third-hardest hole Sunday that yielded only four bird-ies, and then blasted out to just inside 15 feet and took bogey to fall one behind.

That was all Woods needed.From the middle of the 18th fairway,

with Nicklaus watching from behind the green, Woods hit 9-iron to the perfect spot on the back of the green that it caught the slope and rolled to just inside 10 feet.

Nicklaus always waits on the 18th green for the winner, a tradition Woods knows better than anyone. This was even more special given the circumstances of his 73rd win.

“To do it here Jack watching on the last hole ... he means a lot to all of us as players,” Woods said. “We all looked up to him, and he’s the greatest champion that’s ever lived.”

LEISURE

Dear Annie: My hus-band’s sister-in-law is not only annoying. She is frustrating. We were friends once and lived together in my in-laws’ house. She has a son, and I have a daughter who is younger.

The first time we fought, she began shouting at me, say-ing that my daughter is the favorite grand-child. She moved out and, after a while, apologized. I forgave her. Then we became work colleagues when I recommended her for a position.

I don’t know how it started, but she began making snide com-ments, saying that I brag about being smart, etc., and that I was badmouthing her. One of our co-workers pointed out that she’s the one backstabbing me and not the other way around. She then told my husband that we were ganging up on her. After that, we didn’t speak for a long time.

She apologized again and said we should put everything behind us. I am a for-giving person, so I befriended her. Again. Then one day, I found out she was up to her old tricks, saying nasty things about me and spreading rumors to my husband’s relatives.

I can’t avoid her because of family get-togethers. What should I do? -- Had Enough in Tennessee

Dear Had Enough: We suspect others are aware of your sister-in-law’s emotional insta-bility, which will make it easier for you to be in her presence at family gatherings. You don’t need to be chummy

toward her. All that is required is that you be consistently civil and polite. Your husband will appreciate it, and you will score a lot of points with the rest of the relatives.

Dear Annie: My husband’s mother recently died, and his sister is very upset with him because he listed her in the death notice as “Miss Jane Doe” instead of “Dr. Jane Doe.” (His sister has a Ph.D.)

When my husband apologized, she stated that we always have been disrespectful of her title. Apparently, she is still upset that when she was in our bridal party, she was listed in the wedding program as “Miss Jane Doe.” I told her it never occurred to me that she would want to be listed any other way. After all, my brother, an attorney, didn’t have a J.D. after his name. She was also angry that our invita-tion to our daughter’s

christening said “Miss Jane Doe.” I was taught that for social invita-tions, one doesn’t use professional titles. Am I wrong?

My husband feels that our apology should suffice, but Jane is still angry. I hate that there is friction between them when they are griev-ing the death of their mother. What else can we do? -- Frustrated Sister-in-Law

Dear Frustrated: Generally, one doesn’t use professional titles for social events, but the overriding eti-quette rule is not to offend. Your sister-in-law wants her title used at all times, so please use it. Her mistake was allowing this to con-tinue without register-ing her resentment the first time, which didn’t permit you to correct it. Please tell her again that you are sincerely sorry, that it was com-pletely unintentional, and that you promise to use her well-earned Ph.D. from now on.

Dear Annie: “Ready To Settle Down” wants a commitment from her 55-year-old boyfriend who still lives on his parents’ property, uses her car, belittles her in bed, has a bad temper and hangs around with drinkers and dopers.

She needs to follow my rules for dating. These guidelines make the picking and choosing a whole lot easier.

Trish’s Four Rules for Dating

1. He/she must not have a criminal his-tory.

2. He/she must be employed.

3. He/she must own his/her own car.

4. He/she cannot live with his/her moth-er or sleep on his/her best friend’s couch. -- Trish

LEISURE

For Tuesday, June 5, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a tricky day because it’s a fun-loving day, yet it’s also an accident-prone day for your sign. Be careful. Think before you speak or do anything. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good day for busi-ness and commerce, because you feel confident about financial matters. You’ll also enjoy shopping. (Travel plans might change.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Everyone enjoy being in your company today. Nevertheless, keep an eye on your bank account and anything having to do with shared property to avoid sur-prises. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Even though you are happy to be behind the scenes today, something unexpect-ed will occur with partners

and close friends. You’ll have to deal with this; you have no choice. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your relationships with others are warm and friend-ly today. Enjoy good times. Canceled meetings, comput-er crashes and staff shortages are likely at work. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might be attracted to someone in a position of authority today. Meanwhile, others will seek your cre-ative advice. Parent should be extra vigilant about their kids today, because this is an accident-prone day for them. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Travel anywhere will delight you today, because you feel adventurous! You want to learn new things. Pay attention to matters at home, because minor acci-dents are possible. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

This is a passionate day for romantic partners. It’s also a good day for financial negoti-ations or dividing something like an inheritance. (Guard against accidents today.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Relations with partners and close friends are especially warm and friendly today. Nevertheless, expect a few financial surprises. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. Keep your receipts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Things will go smoothly at work today because co-work-ers are friendly and support-ive. Despite this assistance, something will catch you off guard. Expect surprise detours to your day. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a fun-loving, flir-tatious day! Enjoy the arts, sports, romance and play-ful times with children.

However, be on guard for hidden surprises, because they are there! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Home and family are warm and fuzzy today. Relations with family members, espe-cially parents, are good. This is also an excellent day for real-estate negotiations. (But a friend might surprise you.) YOU BORN TODAY You are so modern and original in your take on things, others

frequently do not understand you. You have an excellent sense of humor and a quick mind. You’re an organized, systematic thinker. People are attracted to the enthusi-asm you have for your ideas and projects. In the year ahead, you begin an entirely new nine-year cycle. Open any door!

REGIONAL

BY SALLY MACDONALDCranbrook Townsman

The Regional District of East Kootenay may consider taking back land-use authority for Jumbo Glacier Resort from the province at its June 8 board meeting.

Gerry Wilkie, Director of Area G, where part of the proposed $450 million all-season resort would lie, plans to bring forward a motion to the board to reconsider its August 2009 decision that moves Jumbo planning decisions to the province.

“I’m asking for consultation not only with the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK), but First Nations and the adjacent municipalities,” said Wilkie in an interview with the Townsman.

The province signed a Master Development Agreement with the proponents of Jumbo Glacier Resort in March, giving it the green light to go ahead after 22 years. On May 9, the B.C. legislature passed amendments to the Local Government Act that would allow the province to create a moun-tain resort municipality for Jumbo and appoint a mayor and council before there were any perma-nent residents.

It was that decision that spurred Wilkie to bring the decision back to the board table for debate.

“(The province) can create a resort municipality where there are no residents and appoint a mayor and council. That to me demonstrates a real con-cern about public accountability,” he said, calling the legislation “a recipe for chaos”.

Wilkie hopes his fellow board members will see the logic in changing its position on Jumbo land-use decisions in favour of more local consultation.

In August 2009, the RDEK board of directors voted 8-7 to advise the provincial government that it prefers Jumbo Glacier Resort be appointed a mountain resort municipality.

The decision means that the regional district would currently not be responsible for creating an official community plan, nor carrying out rezon-ing and considering subdivision applications - and all of the public consultation that goes along with those processes.

Back then, the majority of the board felt the responsibility would be too onus for regional dis-trict staff and take up too much time that could be spent on other regional projects.

But since 2009, local government elections have brought six new faces to the board table, so a vote that was very close then may swing the other way now, Wilkie said.
