FortisBC served with strike notice Union members vote 88 per cent in favour of job action BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
Strike notice has been served by 81 Trail people at FortisBC as employees of Cope 378 union voted in favour of a strike, according to voting results released earlier this week. Citing an attack on their benefits, the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union, local 378 (COPE 378) announced its members at FortisBC Inc. (Electric) have given the union an 88 per cent strike vote. A 72-hour strike notice was served Tuesday at 1 p.m., said COPE 378 senior union representative Brad Bastien, but he anticipated the union members—which includes eight members in South Slocan, 48 in Kelowna, two in Penticton, and six in Oliver—would not be walking the picket lines. FortisBC is applying to the BC Labour Relations Board to have some electricity functions designated as essential. No job action can take place until an approved essential services order is in place. “(We) are very entrenched in not accepting any concessions within the collective agreement, and we are prepared to stay out as long as it takes to get those concessions off the table,” he said.

Let the testing begin. The next round of blood lead level clinics has descended on the Greater Trail region, with two clinics planned for today and Friday this week, and two more Oct. 2-3 (all 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Trail lead health service coordinator Jeannine Stefani said parents should bring in kids between the ages of six months and three years old who live and spend the majority of their days in the Trail or Rivervale area. As well, any preschool kids living in a recently renovated home in the Greater Trail area—from Fruitvale to Rossland—is encouraged to be tested.
Some things don’t go away in the wash. In an attempt to clear litter from the shoreline of the Columbia River, Greater Trail residents are encouraged to participate in a clean up this Sunday with the annual B.C. Rivers Day. Volunteers are asked to meet in Gyro Park at 9 a.m. for registration, followed by a walk up the banks of the river for clean-up between 9:3011:30 a.m. Afterwards, everybody is invited to return to Gyro

Park for a celebration featuring kettle corn snacks from the Trail Rotary Club, a live performance from Max Hawk and the Raptors and a Kiwanis barbecue. There will be children’s activities ranging from a climbing wall to kayak demonstrations, carnival games and activities, to an inflatable caterpillar and a rope and log bridge from the scouts. The Trail Skills Centre, the 44th Engineer Squadron/39 Combat Engineer Regiment and Teck Trail Operations have combined to add in a twist. For the first time ever, the Vancouver Aquarium Aquavan will visit the area. Thanks to a contribution from Teck Trail Operations, people can get a free tour and learn about marine life in a very
hands on and active environment, said Teck spokesperson Catherine Adair. “So any kids, families or youth that want to touch a sea star or play with a barnacle can,” she said. “And there will be experts on hand who can explain what the marine life they’re seeing is. So it’s a great educational experience and it’ll also be a lot of fun.” Teck also loaned the volunteers two trucks for the clean up and made a $2,000 contribution to aid the shoreline clean-up event. The 44th Engineer Squadron/39 Combat Engineer Regiment has planned training exercises for the weekend, and opted to utilize Sunday to help raise the public’s understanding of rivers.
“We always want to help out where possible,” chief warrant officer Sharman Thomas of the 44 Engineer Squadron said. “It only makes sense that we help out to maintain and beautify the community that we live in.” Last year’s event hauled roughly 17,000 pounds of debris from a 1.5-kilometre stretch of the river as well as 25 tonnes of material from the Columbia River’s banks below Glenmerry. “Shoreline litter is one of the biggest threats to our lakes, rivers, estuaries, oceans and other waterways,” said project coordinator Denise Robson of the Skills Centre. “Ninety per cent of the trash removed from our shorelines came from car bodies, water tanks and large metal waste.”

s a small business owner, have you expanded your staff in 2012? With little media coverage, earlier in 2012 the federal government extended for this year, its Hiring Credit for Small Business (HCSB) that was offered as a onetime credit for 2011. For the purpose of this credit, a small business is defined as a proprietorship with employees or small corporation (the owner is an employee by default) not having annual employment insurance (EI) premium contributions greater than $10,000. The HCSB is an EI credit designed to encourage new hiring by reimbursing a small business owner the amount of the year over year increase in EI premiums paid by that business, up to a maximum of $1,000. For example, if in 2011 a business had $3,000 of employer EI premiums and then with new hires has $3,600 in 2012, the business will receive a $600 credit. Likewise, if the amounts were $500 in 2011 and then $2,500 in 2012, the HCSB maxs at $1,000. This credit is not limited to only businesses having new hires. If a business has expanded the hours of its staff in 2012 resulting in increased EI premiums, this will contribute to the HCSB for that business. And new business start-ups qualify if
RON
CLARKE Tax Tips & Pits the business owner remitted EI premiums in 2012. The base amount will be $0 (since there would have been no premiums in 2011) so in effect, a 2012 business start-up will pay no EI premiums for 2012. Impressively, the HCSB calculation is done by the government and the credit issued automatically. That’s right. No special forms. No record keeping beyond normal payroll paperwork. Well, the T4’s have to be issued and the T4 summary submitted to CRA, but that’s it. Then await the credit in the spring of 2013. At this time, there is no scuttlebutt out of Ottawa that the HCSB will be extended to 2013, so if you have been procrastinating on hiring new staff or expanding current staff hours, making these decisions sooner rather than later may not be as costly as normal. And keep an ear to the ground for the extension of the HCSB into 2013. Ron Clarke has his MBA and is a business owner in Trail, providing accounting and tax services.

FROM PAGE 1 The two sides will be returning to the bargaining table on Oct. 3. Bastien said it will depend how that day goes whether they will exercise their walk out notice. The union sought clarification after the company’s last offer in late August was rejected. FortisBC’s priority was to get back to the bargaining table, said Joyce Wagenaar, FortisBC director of communications. “FortisBC is looking forward to resuming negotiations and reaching an agreement,” she said. “From FortisBC’s perspective we did present an offer which is market competitive and balances the interests of our employees and our customers.” She said the company has a contingency plan for its electric service to deal with various forms of job action. The union has been without a contract since January, 2011. Members perform inside work at FortisBC Inc. (Electric) including office administration, IT, design, planning, project coordination and analysis. Bastien said FortisBC proposed “flex” benefit plans for employees and retirees require multiple types of services in a short period of time. He said the plan would find it difficult to get the coverage they need. “The employer is coming after some fundamental benefits and trying to erode the benefits which people will always galvanize around.”

“Because there is lead exposure in the lead paint in the older homes,” she said. “We are trying to get as many as we can because we are trying to figure out the average.” She also encouraged people who live in Trail to bring in their children aged six months to five years old. Parents wishing to book an appointment can contact Stefani at 364-6223. In the latest report from the Trail Health and Environment Committee, “Fall 2011 Blood Lead Results,” the percentage of children aged six months to three years in Trail and Rivervale with a microgram of lead per deciliter of blood (ug/ dL) lower than 10 was 92 per cent—three percentage points off of the 95 percentile they are seeking and two per cent better than 2010. In 2011, for children under three years of age, the percentage of children at or above 10 ug/dL was eight per cent, only one per cent were at 15 ug/dL and nobody at 20 ug/dL. In 1989, less than 20 per cent of local preschoolers had blood-lead levels below the level of concern (10). Blood lead levels greater than 10 (ug/dL) are levels at which Centre for Disease Control and Prevention would recommend public health actions be initiated. In all, 151 children from six months to five years old were tested at the B.C. Children’s Hospital lab in 2011. Of these, 106 were the target age group of kids, six months to three years in Trail and Rivervale

9508 N Division, Spokane
VICTORIA – After a passionate debate and a close vote, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention passed a motion Wednesday calling on the federal government to decriminalize marijuana. The UBCM placed major emphasis on the debate this year featuring former B.C. attorney general Geoff Plant, in favour of loosening pot laws, and University of the Fraser Valley criminologist Darryl Plecas opposed.
After a lineup of speakers on the impact of marijuana grow ops on communities and crime impact, a show of hands by hundreds of delegates supported the call for decriminalization. Metchosin councillor Moralea Milne reminded delegates that Plant termed pot prohibition “a disastrous and expensive failure of public policy.” She said more than 500,000 B.C. residents have smoked marijuana, but she doesn’t support its use. “Personally I’d rath-
the chemical designer drugs.” Prince George city councillor Brian Skakun drew laughter with his comment: “I tried it when I was younger, I turned out OK.” Turning serious, he said the costs extend to police and courts weighed down with marijuana cases rather than “real criminals.” Port Moody councillor Bob Elliott said his “quaint, safe city” has seen three gang-related murders in the past six months. He pleaded for support for decriminalization.

Unions vow to fight wage freeze THE CANADIAN PRESS

PotashCorp Electrician Darwyn Wirth of Churchbridge, Sask., (left) and Mine Rescue supervisor Courtney Ryan of Tantallon, Sask., (right) speak to the media after being rescued from a fire underground in the Rocanville potash mine on Tuesday.
Miners safely brought back to surface THE CANADIAN PRESS ROCANVILLE, Sask. - After spending a day trapped underground by a fire at a Saskatchewan potash mine, electrician Darwyn Wirth knew exactly what he wanted to do. “I think I’m going to go and have a cold beer,� he told reporters shortly after he and 19 of his colleagues were brought safely back to the surface. The blaze broke out at about 2 a.m. Tuesday when a large wooden cable spool started burning at PotashCorp.’s Rocanville mine, about 244 kilometres east of Regina.
There was no panic, said the miners, who immediately headed to four separate refuge stations scattered throughout the facility. “We have an alarm system with loud bells and flashing red lights, and you immediately go to a refuge station and call the control room so they know where you are,� said Wirth. It took about 10 hours to extinguish the fire, but it took several more hours for crews to determine it was safe to bring the workers up. “It’s a matter of cooling the area down and ventilating the air,� said Bill Cooper, spokesman for PotashCorp.
TORONTO - Ontario’s Liberal government is confident legislation to impose a wage freeze on nearly 500,000 public sector workers will withstand court challenges, but there is a “very real risk� it could be struck down, admitted Finance Minister Dwight Duncan. “There’s constitutional risk with this, there’s no question,� Duncan told reporters after unveiling details of the draft legislation. “This will be tested in the courts, no doubt, but we believe we’ve found something that will survive those court challenges.� Labour leaders quickly condemned the legislation, which resembles the bill the Liberals used to impose a wage contract on teachers earlier this month. Unlike the teachers’ legislation, the bill applying to civil servants and workers at hospitals, colleges, hydro companies, long-term care homes and provincial agencies “preserves the right to strike,� said Duncan. However, it also gives Duncan the power to impose a contract if he doesn’t like what the two sides negotiate, which union leaders said effectively takes away their right to strike. “What he’s basically said is that he’ll impose a collective agreement, so we may have the right to strike for 10 minutes,� said Ontario Federation of Labour president Sid Ryan. “The minister’s not being honest when he says the right to strike is preserved. That’s a lie, and he knows it’s a lie.� The Ontario Public Service Employees Union said Canadians won’t stand for an attack on workers’ rights.
NEW BRUNSWICK Pro-life motion Refinery explosion sends on to hospital defeated in Commons THE CANADIAN PRESS platoon Chief Brian down by the exploTHE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - A Conservative MP’s pro-life bid to have Parliament study the definition of a human being has gone down to defeat in the House of Commons on Wednesday. Stephen Woodworth’s motion was voted down 203-91. Eight cabinet ministers voted in favour of the motion, including Status of Women Minister Rona Ambrose, government House leader Peter Van Loan and Trade Minister Ed Fast. Prime Minister Stephen Harper had allowed his caucus to vote freely on the issue, but did not vote for it out of concern it would re-open the debate on abortion. Four Liberals also voted in favour of Woodworth’s motion, while the NDP caucus opposed it. The motion would have instructed a Commons committee to study a section of the Criminal Code that declares a child a human being when it emerges alive from the mother’s womb.

Younger generation facing decline in standard of living
S
ince 1976, Canada’s economy has more than doubled in size but many of us aren’t feeling better off. That’s why the Occupy slogan “We are the 99 per cent” captured so much attention a year ago. It reminds us that the richest one per cent of Canadians make 14 per cent of total income, and absorbed more than a third of income growth in the last 15 years. It also helps to explain where all the additional wealth went. But the slogan is incomplete. The change in prosperity is also generational. On average, Canadians who got in the housing market by the mid 70s (newly retired, or retiring soon) have been big winners. Compared to 55 to 64 year olds in the mid-70s, they enjoy wealth that has risen by around 200 per cent, in large part because housing values have increased dramatically over their adult lives. But what’s been good for a generation heading into retirement has been bad for their kids and grandkids.
The typical 25 to 34 year old working full-time today must save for 10 years to put away a 20 per cent down payment for housing in an average school district. That’s twice as long as was required for the typical young worker a generation ago, even though today’s down payment often purchases a smaller yard, a Condo, or requires a longer commute. Young people’s wages are losing ground, despite the fact they have more post-secondary education than previous generations. After adjusting for inflation, two young people still bring home little more than what one breadwinner often did in the mid-1970s. The result? Generations under age 45 are squeezed: squeezed for time at home and squeezed for money because they pay higher student debts and housing prices with lower wages. And when they choose to have kids, they are squeezed for child care services, which remain in short supply, and often cost the equivalent of another mortgage.
PAUL
KERSHAW Troy Media
The slogan “We are the 99 per cent” sheds no light on this generational squeeze, unless it is accompanied by a commitment from Boomers and seniors to help their kids and grandkids champion a better policy deal. Championing social policy for generations facing tough times is a big part of Canada’s legacy. Remember that in the mid-70s, 30 per cent of seniors were poor in our country – seniors like my grandmother, who today is 96. Because Canada has a proud history of building and adapting pension and medical care policy to our changing socioeconomic circumstances, we have
since wrestled down the poverty rate among seniors to around 5 per cent – lower than rates for any other age group in the country. It is in large part because of this policy legacy that my grandmother is not poor today! And it is also why my parents, in-laws, aunts and uncles have a far reduced risk of economic insecurity compared to those approaching retirement a generation ago. We need to sustain these previous achievements, but it is also time to adapt policy again for a generation facing deep declines in their standard of living. Problem is, markets for wages and housing are difficult to influence. While policies can create minimum wages and some social housing are important, they do little to help the typical 38 year old today who has debt that is more than 100 per cent of household income because of housing and tuition costs. A generation ago, the norm was around 40 per cent. So we must look to other policy mechanisms that will
reduce time and income pressures as younger Canadians start jobs, careers and homes. There are solutions: Better benefits for new moms and new dads would ensure that it doesn’t cost younger generations the equivalent of a second mortgage when parents split time at home before a child is 18 months; $10/day child care would mean parents don’t pay another mortgage for services on which they rely to have enough employment time to keep up with the rising cost of living. And since the 2012 federal budget now asks younger Canadians to work longer lives before claiming Old Age Security, changes to employment practices would free workers to have an extra few hours a week at home each year before they retire. These concrete solutions to the generational decline merit more attention as Canadians aspires for a fairer distribution of our national prosperity.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Help requested for injured trucker Robert Wilson is a long haul trucker from Castlegar. On September 17, 2012 he was in an accident in Kerrobert, Sask. and received severe multiple injuries. He is currently in ICU at University Hospital Saskatoon, which is far from home. A trust fund is being established to help his family cope with the great financial burden placed on them because of this tragic accident. Robert has a very long road to travel ahead of him, likely the
most difficult he has ever been on. We are hoping that they will be able to transfer him closer to home soon to be near family and friends. Robert is a kind, caring person who has always been more than willing to help anyone who needed him. His constant companion on his many trips in Canada and the US was his little dog Dusty; He received no injuries and is well. Dusty ran away and the Police tried to catch him but failed.
They left and returned and found Dusty waiting in the truck for his buddy Robert to return. He is currently in a kennel and being very well cared for in Saskatoon and will be returning home soon. We ask for your prayers and support. Anyone wishing to donate to the Robert L. Wilson Trust fund may do so at any Kootenay Savings Credit Union. Laura Blizard Genelle

ployed or underemployed, and pay no taxes, could make the difference between victory and defeat for him. So could retired people too poor to pay taxes, who are often social conservatives. In Romney’s view, his role “is not to worry about those people (the 47 per cent). I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.� If this is not outright contempt, it comes very close. It was especially reckless of Romney to couch the whole discourse in terms of who pay taxes or doesn’t. This from a man who has refused to release more than the past two years of his own tax returns. Why endure all the criticism about not releasing the past five years, say, if there was nothing to hide in the returns for the preceding years? Like, maybe, the possibility that Romney paid no tax at all in those previous returns. The people who pay no taxes in the United States are the very poor and the very rich, and Romney certainly falls into the latter category. If he paid no tax at all in 2007, 2008 and 2009, say, he would have fallen into the 47 per cent in those years. So should we conclude that he voted for Obama in 2008? Probably not, and we can feel a certain sympathy for a man whose supposedly private remarks, shaped to appeal to an ultra-rich and ultra-conservative audience, have been dragged into the public domain. But he should have known better. Almost invisible to him, there was another group of people in that room who were not rich at all: the people who waited on the tables of the mighty. It was almost certainly one of those helots who took the video of his talk. They are getting in everywhere. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Legendary crooner passes away THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS - With a string of gold albums, a hit TV series and the signature “Moon River,” Andy Williams was a voice of the 1960s, although not the ‘60s we usually hear about. “The old cliche says that if you can remember the 1960s, you weren’t there,” the singer once recalled. “Well, I was there all right, but my memory of them is blurred - not by any drugs I took but by the relentless pace of the schedule I set myself.” Williams’ plaintive tenor, boyish features and wholesome, middleAmerica appeal helped him outlast many of the rock stars who had displaced him and such fellow crooners as Frank Sinatra and Perry Como. He remained on the charts into the 1970s, hosting hugely popular Christmas TV specials, and continued to perform in his 80s at the Moon River Theatre he built in Branson, Mo. In November 2011, when Williams announced that he had been diagnosed with bladder cancer, he vowed to return to performing the following year: His 75th in show business. Williams died Tuesday
(AP PHOTO, FILE)
In a 1961 file photo, Andy Williams performs a song on a television show. Emmy-winning TV host and “Moon River” crooner Williams died Tuesday night, Sept, 25, 2012 at his home in Branson, Mo., following a year-long battle with bladder cancer. He was 84. night at his home in Branson following a yearlong battle with the disease, his Los Angelesbased publicist, Paul Shefrin, said Wednesday. He was 84. He became a major star the same year as Elvis Presley, 1956, with the Sinatra-like swing “Canadian Sunset,” and for a time he was pushed into such Presley imitations as “Lips of Wine”
and the No. 1 smash “Butterfly.” But he mostly stuck to what he called his “natural style,” and kept it up throughout his career. In 1970, when even Sinatra had given up and (temporarily) retired, Williams was in the top 10 with the theme from “Love Story,” the Oscar-winning tearjerker. He had 18 gold records and three platinum, was nominated for
five Grammy awards and hosted the Grammy ceremonies for several years. Movie songs became a specialty, from “Love Story” and “Days of Wine and Roses” to “Moon River.” The longing Johnny Mercer-Henry Mancini ballad was his most famous song, even though he never released it as a single because his record company feared such lines as “my huckleberry friend” were too confusing and old-fashioned for teens. The song was first performed by Audrey Hepburn in the beloved 1961 film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” but Mancini thought “Moon River” ideal for Williams, who recorded it in “pretty much one take” and also sang it at the 1962 Academy Awards. Although “Moon River” was covered by countless artists and became a hit single for Jerry Butler, Williams made the song his personal brand. In fact, he insisted on it. “When I hear anybody else sing it, it’s all I can to do stop myself from shouting at the television screen, ‘No! That’s my song!”’ Williams wrote in his 2009 memoir, titled, fittingly, “Moon River and Me.”
DR. JANE GOODALL
Renown environmentalist stops in Cranbrook BY ANNALEE GRANT Cranbrook Townsman
Dr. Jane Goodall is headed to Cranbrook this weekend for a whirlwind tour, and she will leave behind a legacy of knowledge when she takes off on Tuesday. Susie MacDonald, program co-ordinator for Columbia Basin Environmental Education Network’s Wild Voices for Kids, said Goodall will speak to 575 elementary students, mostly Grade 6s on Monday at the Key City Theatre. She hopes those students will spread the knowledge from Goodall’s talk to their peers when they return to school. “We’re hoping there’s going to be a lot of drop down from this,” MacDonald said, adding that Grade 6 is the perfect age for Goodall, because younger students may not understand her language.
Each school will get a chance to ask the world-renewed primatologist one question. MacDonald said the students are already working together to come up with that one great question to pose to Goodall. One student will be selected to address her directly and ask it. “Students are still preparing,” MacDonald said. The focus of Goodall’s talk will be on Roots and Shoots, a national program that encourages people to improve the quality of life and environment for people and animals. Goodall along with MacDonald will be launching Roots and Shoots in Cranbrook and encouraging students and their teachers to get involved with environmental programs and projects in their area. MacDonald said Goodall is very involved in the program.
“She really makes an effort to stay in contact with the Roots and Shoots people,” she said. MacDonald said Roots and Shoots is a good match for CBEEN, which acts as a network for local environmental practitioners. CBEEN already has access to many key players in environmental education in the community, and MacDonald said there are many amazing people and projects already happening in the area that Roots and Shoots can tap into. “This is the first time its really been brought to the public attention,” MacDonald said. Goodall will arrive in Cranbrook on Saturday, and MacDonald said she gets a little bit of rest before launching into a very busy weekend of speaking engagements. While on speaking tours, Goodall continues to work on her global initiatives.

Study supports case against sugary drinks THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
cern that human life has value, and that the ‘choice’ is a vital one, requiring time, information and assistance because abortion ends human life. This annual Life Chain will take place in Trail Saturday at 1 p.m. along Victoria St. and in Nelson and Castlegar at 2 pm Sunday Sept. 30th. Participants will hold signs with varied messages to convey that abortion is not a solution to women’s problems, and that help is available. Like the sign that reads “She’s a Child not a Choice” the area Right to Life Society believes every woman should make a choice both she and the baby can live with. In order to “Love them Both / Choose Life” as another message reads, the group knows it is important to
actively offer help and support to pregnant women. This help can be found locally at the Nelson Crisis Pregnancy Centre 250-354-1199. Many participants have themselves had abortions and known the importance of forgiveness; yet want to let others know that help and support is available. Women who have had
abortions can contact canadasilentnomore. com or local organizers for support. November is National Adoption Awareness Month in Canada and the sacrifice of placing your child with a loving family is an image needing to be changed from one of ‘giving away’ your baby. There are five-year waiting lists
to adopt children. With the changing methods of ‘open’ adoptions, some of the trauma of placing a child has now been lessened. See www. AdoptioninCanada.ca Abortion is not a resolved issue, but rather an on-going concern. It is the number one cause of preventable deaths and women are usually victims as well.

New research powerfully strengthens the case against soda and other sugary drinks as culprits in the obesity epidemic. A huge, decades-long study involving more than 33,000 Americans has yielded the first clear proof that drinking sugary beverages interacts with genes that affect weight, amplifying a person’s risk of obesity beyond what it would be from heredity alone. In addition, two other major experiments have found that giving children and teens calorie-free alternatives to the sugary drinks they usually consume leads to less weight gain. Collectively, the results strongly suggest that sugary drinks cause people to pack on the pounds, independent of other unhealthy behaviour. However, sugar-free drinks did not raise the risk of obesity in these studies.
Recently several Canadian MP’s addressed the fact that Canada is the only democratic country with no law regarding abortion. Motion 312 was introduced to acknowledge that science now proves a baby developing in the uterus is human, deserving legal protection far in advance of the moment the child draws its first breath. However, our Prime Minister wants no debate on the topic, considering the issue ‘dead’ although it was never legally decided by Parliament. Many Canadians want the debate reopened and annually, 1700 Life Chains are hosted in Canada and the United States with over 30,000 participants in Canada alone. They demonstrate con-

National camp skates into Trail Mondin to evaluate sledge hockey hopefuls BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
Local hockey fans receive a rare treat when Trail’s Mike Mondin and the national sledge hockey team roll into the Silver City next month to hold its final selection camp for Team Canada. Mondin is in his third year of coaching the national team and is thrilled with the opportunity to have the team train in his hometown. “We’re really looking forward to it,” said Mondin. “I know a lot of them that were here the last time are excited about the Colander and the Colombo Lodge and the warm Italian hospitality that you get around Trail.” Team Canada’s sledge hockey team last trained at the Cominco Arena just prior to the Vancouver Paralympic Games in 2010, and
will return to Trail Oct. 20-27 for the team’s selection camp. “One of the reasons Hockey Canada has done such an excellent job in having events for sledge hockey all over the country and that’s to expose and help grow the game, and grow the sport. “In the Kootenays we don’t have any sledge hockey that I’m aware of. It would be real, real fantastic if we could have sledge hockey started.” The national sledge hockey team is looking to increase its exposure in the community and also plans to meet with local residents with disabilities and introduce them to the sport. “The Thursday morning we’re inviting all the kids throughout the Kootenays that have a disability that aren’t able to play hockey, to come on out and experience sledge hockey with our team,” explained Mondin. The team will also workout with the J. L.

Crowe hockey academy students, giving them a first-hand look at its fitness testing regimen and what it takes to become an elite athlete. “I always say these guys are unbelievable high-performance athletes, not only in this sport but other sports as well. “But you know, they are such great ambassadors for our country,
they’re just great guys, great human beings.” Team Canada held a selection camp at the beginning of September in Barrie, Ont. where 31 skaters vied for a spot on the roster. That number was cut to 20 for the final evaluation in Trail. “We’ll trim that down, we’ll see how it goes, but possibly to 18 or 16,” said Mondin. “It gives a few more play-
ers an extra opportunity and also gives us an opportunity to evaluate all the ones that are really close in a real competitive environment.” The team changed dramatically since a fourth-place finish at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, but with 15 veterans returning from the 2011 gold medal World Sledge Hockey Challenge in
Calgary last December, Mondin says he doesn’t foresee as many roster changes. The J. L. Crowe instructor patrolled the bench of the Trail Smoke Eaters from 2000-06 and joined the national team as a guest coach in 2007. He was assistant coach at the 2010 Paralympics before being named head coach of the Team Canada sledge hockey
team. Mondin soon tasted success with wins at the Sledge Hockey Challenge in London, Ont. in April and in Calgary the following December, before taking bronze at the World Championships in Norway; yet the transition from ice hockey to sledge hockey was not without its adjustments.

Bolstered Beaver Valley prepares for Nelson Leafs Veteran talent returns to Hawks’ nest BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
The Beaver Valley Nitehawks took the good with the bad this week as it reclaimed a veteran forward, but also lost a talented new recruit. Like a shot of B-12, Dallas Calvin injected some needed experience into the Nitehawks youthful lineup when he returned to the Hawks’ nest earlier this week. “I’m really happy to be back with the
Hawks and excited to get playing and do whatever I can to help the Hawks win another league title,” said Calvin in an email. The 17-year-old Calvin played the past two seasons with the Hawks, amassing 117 points in 84 games. “A guy like Dallas is so skilled and he makes everyone around him better,” said Hawks assistant coach Jeremy Cominotto. “He’s just a great kid off the ice as well, so he’ll be a huge boost for our team in the dressing room as well as on the ice.” However, the Hawks did lose Woburn, Mass. native Dan Holland who returned
home this week. The 19-year-old forward scored four points in four games with the Hawks this season. “He had an opportunity back in Boston to play with his brother, so he thought at this time it was his best opportunity to play at a high level.” With 13 rookies in the Beaver Valley line up, question marks loomed as to how good the Nitehawks would be this year. The team responded by picking up six of a possible eight points to start the season. “We’re pretty happy with our start so far,” said Cominotto. “When you have to rebuild your team like we have, you have
to be happy with that, it’s been a great response from the boys.” Defenceman Nick Perez leads the team in scoring with two goals and four assists, followed by impressive rookie Connor Brown-Maloski with five points. But the veteran defenceman’s offensive output is not surprising, says Cominotto. “Nick’s a fairly offensively gifted guy, he’s got a great shot, he sees the ice well, and right now he’s playing with tremendous confidence, so when you can put all those three things into one basket, the skies the limit for him.”

Columbia coaches resign SCORE BY STEVE JESSEL Invermere Valley Echo
There have been some big changes to the Columbia Valley Rockies just six games into the season, as head coach and general manager Marc Ward and assistant coach Jan Kascak have both resigned from their positions, effectively immediately. Rockies director of hockey operations Ross Bidinger will assume the role of interim head coach and general manager while brothers Wade, Scott and Kirk Dubielewicz will join the coaching staff along with Rockies board member Dave Tomalty as assistant coaches. “We wish both (Ward) and (Kascak) well… but we have no reservations about what we’ve put into place over the last 24 hours,” Rockies vice-president Graeme Anderson told The Valley Echo. “I’m extremely confident that you’re going to see the Rockies performing as well as they have done, and better.” Bidinger, now the the former director of hockey operations, has had a role in all major team decisions over the off-season, from scouting players to roster decisions, and as such said he is quite familiar with the roster as it currently stands. Bidinger has also served as an assistant coach with the Rockies in the past and is the current BC Hockey District Evaluator for the East Kootenay. While he acknowledges that it may not be the easiest transition for him to become head coach and general manager, he’s confident he and the rest of the coaching staff will be able to put a solid product on the ice at Eddie Mountain Memorial
Arena. “It’s fairly overwhelming,” Bidinger said, when asked how it felt to be named the new head coach and general manager. “I’ve got lots of help and lots of guys have stepped up… that’ll ease the the burden of it for sure.” The first priority for Bidinger will be introducing his players to the new system of hockey, and continuing to develop the young talent on the team. The Rockies are off to a promising start to the season, having already reached their win total from last year in just six games, and so it will be up to Bidinger to ensure that the change behind the bench doesn’t effect how his team plays on the ice. “We’re obviously looking to make this team better in any way that we can and develop these guys to move them to the next level. There’s definitely some younger good talent here… our goal is to make the playoffs, and that’s first and foremost. “I don’t see any real change, because we’re not making big changes to anything… it might change the style of play a little bit but the actual brand on the ice should be really similar.” Outgoing coach and general manager Ward was not available for comment, and Anderson told The Valley Echo that no reason had been given for the resignation. Ward had been with the team since March of 2011 and was hired to turn the team around after a number of disappointing seasons over the previous several years. Ironically, the team sits in first place at the time of his resignation.

Schell leads Leaf line up FROM PAGE 10 The Hawks also reaped the rewards of the return of Ryan Edwards to the ice against Castlegar Saturday. Edwards missed the opening three games with a lower-body injury, buy made up for it, scoring twice and adding an assist in the B.V.s 5-1 win over the Rebels. The Nitehawks play a homeand-home this weekend with the Nelson Leafs, who enjoy a relatively healthy return of veterans including one of their best players last season, Colton Schell.
The 20-year-old was their third leading point-getter with 23 goals, 42 assists for 65 points in 48 games, and he leads the team in scoring this year with a goal and five assists in four games. Joining Schell are 11 other veterans including Carson Willians, J. J. Beitel, Linden Horswill, Mathew Naka, James Sorrey, and Blake Arcuri. The Leafs are a point behind the Hawks with two wins, a loss, and a tie, and Castlegar currently tied with the Hawks for top spot in what should be a
very tight and entertaining Neil Murdoch division in 2012-13. “Nelson’s got a good team and they have a few returning guys as well. We expect Nelson, Castlegar to be a battle every night. It’s good for the league and it’s something that our team needs early on so the young guys get a taste of what its like to play in our division and to play at a high level.” The Nitehawks host the Leafs at the Beaver Valley Arena on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and will travel to Nelson on Saturday to the NDCC to play at 7:30 p.m.

Mondin preps for sledge-hockey season FROM PAGE 10 “It was a real challenge for sure,” said Mondin. “Going into a dressing room with wheel chairs and prosthetic limbs all over the place when there is nobody around, and you wonder what’s really going on.” But the change was a good one, as Mondin came to appreciate even more the efforts of Terry Fox or Rick
Hansen and all who wish to shed any stigma associated with a disability. “I really understand what they were doing, now a lot more than I did before. It has certainly helped me as a teacher, but with the actual players, after a number of years, I just see them as hockey players, and they just want to be treated as hockey players, and we
just want to win hockey games.” Team Canada will play in the World Sledge Hockey Challenge in Calgary in December, a training camp in Fredericton, N.B. in January, an exhibition series against the U.S. in Ottawa in February, and a minicamp in March to prepare for the World Championship in South Korea in April.

Company scanning Whatshan Lake area for mineral deposits BY CLAIRE PARADIS Arrow Lakes News
A Vancouver-based mineral exploration company is aerially surveying a 100 squarekilometre area near
Whatshan Lake in hopes of finding a significant graphite deposit. Noram Ventures Inc. contracted the services of SkyTEM to scan the area using a sophisti-
cated technology called time-domain electromagnetics. Residents may have seen SkyTEM’s helicopter dragging a large wooden hexagon flying
low over the area. The aerial equipment carries a receiver that picks up information from a generator that creates a pulse in the earth, Noram
president Dave Rees told the Arrow Lakes News. Highly conductive materials, like the graphite the company is looking for, produce

PUBLIC NOTICE
RECALL 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, November 19, 2012 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, February 18, 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.

Initiative Advertising: Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC. Who May Sign the Petition: Registered voters as of Monday, November 19, 2012 may sign the initiative petition. Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing. Signed petitions are available for public inspection.
an “anomalous effect” which is detected by the equipment. “We discovered graphite on the surface,” said Rees over the phone from Vancouver, explaining the reason behind the aerial exploration. Increased interest in graphite has been sparked thanks to its use in batteries, particularly flake graphite which is required for electric car batteries. Graphite is mined in open pit mines. “It’s actually quarried like gravel,” Rees told the Arrow Lakes News. The rock is then crushed, and graphite flakes are separated out by being floated on
pine oil. “It’s very environmentally friendly as far as mining goes,” he said, and pointed out the oil is reused over and over again. When asked if there was enough graphite in the area to warrant building a mine, Rees replied: “That’s what we’re trying to determine.” “The mining business is a huge gamble,” he commented. “Mother Nature hides her secrets well...you can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and not find anything.” The helicopter-powered search will narrow the area for future exploration.

guilty, but apparently not guilty enough to make a choice between them. How do I decide? -- Used To Be Sensible in Milwaukee Dear Milwaukee: There are children involved in this mess, and you should think of them. Ideally, you and your husband would work on this together and make your marriage stronger. It requires that you both get back into counseling, that he sticks to the plan and that you give up your boyfriend. If you are not ready to do that, please get a legal separation from your husband and put a custody and visitation plan into effect
Dear Not Sure: When someone requests “no gifts,” that is exactly what it means. People who bring presents anyway are insecure about the request and feel they must buy something regardless. Of course, etiquette also says “no gifts” does not belong on an invitation because it implies that gifts are otherwise expected. If you insist on giving a present, we suggest a donation to their favorite charity in honor of their nuptials. Dear Annie: The letter from “The Drunk’s Wife” brought back some memories. My husband hangs out at a local bar with his buddies. One evening, when it was well past the time he usually comes home, I went to the garage to see whether he had driven the golf cart home yet. I found him lying between the wall and the cart. He had been trying to recharge the cart, but was so drunk
he fell and passed out. Once I got him into bed, I called the bar and told them if it happened again, I would call the police, and they could lose their liquor license. I said I was not only protecting my husband and those
he encountered on the road, but also the bar business. The next day when he was sober, I told him what I did. He was angry, but he needed to know how many people would be affected by his drunk driving. Fortunately,
the bartender now watches and limits his drinks, and my husband is more careful because he knows I’ll report him to the police. It’s because I love him. -- A Caring Wife

while you sort this out. Don’t wait too long. Your husband may decide he is entitled to look elsewhere for happiness, too. Dear Annie: I was recently invited to a small, informal engagement party. The invitation said, “No gifts, please,” so I followed that. But when I arrived, there was a table with quite a few cards, a bottle of wine and other small boxes. My uncle is getting married soon for the second time. He is having the ceremony and a dinner at a local restaurant. His invitation also says, “No gifts, please, only best wishes.” My sister says we must get him a gift, or we are being cheap, no matter what the invitation says. But I would think people would be miffed if they received presents they specifically said they didn’t want. I don’t want to make the same mistake again. Is a card not enough? -Not Sure

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Friday, Sept. 28, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Tomorrow, the only Full Moon in Aries all year will take place. This is why you feel your emotions building up within you today, especially when relating to partners and close friends. Easy does it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Tension with co-workers could be building today because of the pending Full Moon tomorrow. Just grin and bear it. Be patient and tolerant with everyone. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Tomorrow’s Full Moon could create some conflict between you and others, especially in group situations. You might be impatient with people in a meeting, or vice versa. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Because the Moon is your ruler, naturally you feel the emotional buildup today
before tomorrow’s Full Moon. This means you have to be patient with authority figures. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a mildly accidentprone day for your sign because of the pending Full Moon, which takes place tomorrow. Keep your mind on what you’re doing. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Avoid arguments and disputes about shared property, loans, inheritances and cash flow. Today and tomorrow are very poor times for these discussions. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Tomorrow, the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year will take place. This is the classic indication of tension between partners and spouses. Patience is your ally. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your dealings with coworkers and customers might be challenging today.
Just accept this and do the best you can. By Monday it will be a whole new story. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Parents should be extra vigilant about their children, because the Full Moon will trigger some tension today that could be accident-prone for your kids. Keep your eyes open! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today you will feel pulled
between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your job and career. You can’t keep everyone happy. (And you can’t ignore your career right now.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be mindful of everything you do and say today, because this is a mildly accidentprone day for you. Avoid arguments, and don’t try to coerce others into agreeing
with you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a poor day to dispute discrepancies about bills, taxes, insurance matters, banking figures or shared property. Postpone all of this until Monday. YOU BORN TODAY You have a seductive charm that pleases others and makes you popular. You have taste and elegance, and are very romantic. For these reasons,
