Trail takes aim at unsightly premises BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
Call it a making good on an election promise. For the last four Trail city council meetings elected officials have been dealing with matters pertaining to unsightly premises. On Monday night at its regular meeting council served notice to two more property owners—1455 Daisy St. and 395 Martin St.— that they were contravening the city’s Unsightly Premises Bylaw and were given 30 days to rectify the matters. The two items underlined what has been a council directive since they were elected last fall, said councillor Rick Georgetti. “It was a big issue during the election that we wanted to clean up the downtown and the whole city, in fact,” he said. “If you clean up the city it will be attract more people. We all believe that.” If you let the city deteriorate, it will negatively impact people’s perception of Trail, he said. “So there is an effort, no doubt about it,” he said, which dovetails into the Trail “It was a big Downtown Plan that was released last issue during the spring. election that we Not all comwanted to clean munities have an extensive bylaw that up downtown covers all aspects of and the whole unsightly premises, city, in fact.” said city corporate administrator RICK GEORGETTI Michelle MacIsaac, but the city has always employed the Unsightly Premises Bylaw— from 25 to 50 per month in the summer. The bylaw covers items such as grass over 15 centimetres, “allowing” graffiti on the property, allow the accumulation of garbage, or permit any structure to “remain an unsightly structure.” The bylaw also covers the accumulation of building materials without a permit, have unlicensed vehicles on the property that are not properly stored, and accumulate “dead animals, paper products, crockery, glass, metal, plastics, plastic containers, wire, ropes, machinery, tires, appliances, vehicle parts, and any other scrap metal, scrap or salvage.” “(The bylaw) is a reminder to property owners to remove discarded materials, we also don’t allow a number of unlicensed vehicles on the property or even the overgrowth of vegetation,” said MacIsaac.

Strike vote could revive stagnant negotiations BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
COPE 378 union representing almost 150 West Kootenay and Okanagan FortisBC workers undertook a strike vote last night in Trail as the union prepares to force the company’s hand over a contract negotiation impasse.
Although the results of the vote were not known as of press time Wednesday, Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union (COPE) union Local 378 president David Black said the vote could be used as leverage in the negotiations that have been going on since 2010.
“Maybe just taking the strike vote will get them to come back to the bargaining table,” he said. “I think that we certainly know that the members are very serious. We are expecting a very high strike vote … I hope that (the company) can adjust their position once we get the results

of that.” With around 30 members in Trail, the two sides have largely agreed on wages and the duration of the contract, said Black, but the main sticking point is around benefits. The offer on the table from the company would reduce the benefits plan, Black said.

Take one part alcohol, one part dance music, mix in equal parts male and female and you have the right recipe for a colourful night at the bar. It’s the same dish two performers are serving up for their upcoming social experiment—the Electro Social Club—at the Arlington Bar and Grill tonight. The night features live improv theatre, dance music, video, choreographed dance and musical performances in one complete show mirroring a night out at the bar. It’s a project one year in the making that began when Rossland-based performer, Nadine Tremblay, and Australian DJ Rupert Keiller, wanted to combine their skills. Then the duo received a grant for an experimental music venture from the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance and the idea took shape. “Initially, we just wanted to see how we could create music together,� Tremblay said. “It took a lot longer than we planned, unfortunately. We were hoping to have this performed and done last fall, but this took a lot more work than we planned so we worked on this part-time for about a year and then full-time for the last three months.� Tremblay, a member of Iron Mountain Theatre, began mixing melodies and writing music, while Keiller fine-tuned the tracks. Keiller began working as a DJ in the early 1990s, primarily performing in Australia. His sounds flooded the Melbourne music scene, and he is often recognized for his part in the award winning band, Sonic Animation. “These are essentially dance tracks that sound like traditional electronic music, in the sense that they’re bass heavy and totally dance-able. But then there’s a bit of a story to each song, which is an element of musical theatre.� According to the duo, the music from Electro Social Club is a variety of electro-dance tracks including breakbeat, dubstep, hip hop, 80s pop, opera and much more. It features characters that we’ve all seen before—like the bouncer, the pickup artist, the drinker, the couple and the exhibitionist dancer. The show is interactive, with the characters revealing themselves around you, said Keiller. “There’s definitely some improvisation and some live audience participation, nothing too scary though.� Musical improvisation is the creative activity of spontaneously responding with musical compositions, by communicating with an audience through a wide range of emotions and instrumental techniques. But the group isn’t giving away too much information about the show. “We’re just telling people to come prepared to dance and expect to be surprised,� Tremblay said. Electro Social Club is performing at the Arlington Bar and Grill tonight, and Rossland’s Flying Steam Shovel on Friday. Show up at 9 p.m. to warm up with DJ Incorrigible.

KICK STARTING THE SCHOOL YEAR
Dangerous trees coming down BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
Two tall cottonwood trees behind the Fruitvale Cemetery have been deemed dangerous by WorkSafe B.C., according to Fruitvale’s chief administrative officer Lila Cresswell. A concerned resident from the community contacted WorkSafe B.C. on Aug. 27 to notify it about two trees with high-tops hanging over the rear of the cemetery. “He was afraid something might fall,” explained Cresswell. “WorkSafe came out and had a look at the trees and required us to close that portion of the cemetery—which is in the potential fall zone—until the trees could be taken down.” According to WorkSafe B.C., a dangerous tree refers to trees that are a hazard to a workers due to its location or lean, its physical damage, overhead conditions, deterioration of its limbs or stems and root systems. The fall-area, which has been closed to the public, was determined based on the height of the tree and the circumference of which it could fall to prevent possible injuries. The portion of the cemetery posing a risk was closed after an assessment was completed last week. Contractors are expected to arrive within the next two weeks. “We didn’t think it would take this long to get a contractor on-site but I guess it’s that time of year when everybody’s doing their trees—and with the wind storms, there’s been quite a few concerns with those lovely big cottonwoods,” Cresswell said. “They should be on-site either this week or the beginning of next week. It should be just a day.”
Family-friendly branding pitched BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
A pilot-program for research has a promising future in Fruitvale. In its regular council meeting on Monday night, spokesperson Fiona Mooney presented council with information about branding the area as “family-friendly.” The Lower Columbia Family Action Network (FAN) to identify services, amenities, resources and characteristics that make Greater Trail a family friendly region for residents and visitors. Mayor Patricia Cecchini sits on the Steering Committee for the Family Action Network as part of her social planning role. “Unlike the last presentation you just heard,” Mooney said, alluding to an annual report from the Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Program committee. “We want something to invade and flourish, and that’s families.” Mooney noted it wouldn’t be fruitful to let a good idea get swept under the rug, and hoped the project could provide the area with a blueprint for families. The intention of the research project is to build an inclusive community and encourage interaction between all age groups within the region.

Property owners billed if city forced to clean up premises FROM PAGE 1 The reason council is dealing with these matters in abundance right now towards the end of summer is due to the regulatory process involved. If bylaw rules are broken, bylaw officers start with a letter to the occupants and the property owner and request attention to whatever might be needed. This letter comes with a 15-day compliance time. If the property owner has not complied after inspection by the city, the matter advances to corporate administration and MacIsaac then advises them that council will “consider” it at their next meeting. “For the most part, the occupants and property owners that we approach with a letter voluntarily comply within the time frames,”
MacIsaac said. “The ones council sees are a fraction of the number of properties we deal with. And it really is … a reminder of attention to detail.” On any date that is 30 days after delivery of a removal order the city may enter the property and remove, clear or remedy any thing or any condition stated in the order to remedy the situation—and will bill the property owner for the work. If the debt remains unpaid on Dec. 31 in the year the work was done, the city will add the cost of the work to the taxes due and owing on the affected parcel. If a property owner is found guilty of an offence against this bylaw and is liable on summary conviction, they can be fined from $1,000 to $10,000.

PROVINCIAL PEACHLAND
Evacuees return home but residents remain on alert THE CANADIAN PRESS PEACHLAND, B.C. - The last of the evacuees from a forest fire that tore through parts of Peachland destroying four houses, were given the all-clear to return to their homes Wednesday, three days after they were forced to flee. The number of evacuees had been steadily decreasing, from 1,550 on Sunday in the hours after the fire broke out to 258 by Wednesday morning. Those remaining evacuees, who live in the worst-hit areas of Peachland along the northern edge of the community, were
permitted to return as of 5 p.m. Wednesday, the Regional District of Central Okanagan said in an news release. The fire started Sunday afternoon in a ditch near a park just outside Peachland and quickly spread in high winds. The fire moved three kilometres in a little more than an hour, eventually covering two square kilometres. The regional district said crews were still working to target hot spots in the fire, which was considered 85 per cent contained as of Wednesday morning.

Liberals claim Jobs Plan working NDP disputes government’s numbers on job creation THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - Finance Minister Mike de Jong says British Columbia’s year-old Jobs Plan is doing what it was supposed to do - create jobs and attract investment. De Jong said that B.C. is leading Canada in job growth, having created 51,700 jobs from August 2011 to August 2012, while project investment has topped $80 billion. He called the Jobs Plan a road map that helps guide the economic development of the province. “Just as we all know that governments can stand in the way of private sector growth and job creation, so too can governments assist, through the creation of a competitive tax environment, prudent fiscal management and reduction of red tape,� he said in a statement. But while de Jong was highlighting B.C.’s job numbers and investment opportunities, economists were suggesting gloomy worldwide economic outlooks could impact the province negatively. Premier Christy travelled to Prince Rupert last September to introduce her Canada Starts Here: B.C. Jobs Plan - her first major policy initiative after being elected B.C. Liberal Party Leader and premier in February 2011.

The plan also involved developing liquefiednatural-gas export opportunities in northern B.C., attracting more international students to postsecondary institutions and helping to open eight new mines by 2015 and upgrading and expanding nine others. De Jong said the B.C. jobs plan has kept the provincial economy stable despite worldwide economic uncertainty. He said the most-recent Statistics Canada jobs numbers posted show a growth of 51,700 jobs between August 2011 and August 2012 in B.C., which puts the province in first for job growth in Canada. De Jong said B.C. economic growth last year measure at 2.9 per cent, third in Canada. Investment for major B.C. projects, including federal shipbuilding contracts and mining development, is estimated at $80 billion, an increase of $11.7 billion since June 2011. Investment in the LNG projects is projected at $48 billing from 2013 to 2022, he said. Some economists were not as robust as de Jong in their assessments of B.C.’s economic prospects. Central 1 Credit Union economist Bryan Yu said B.C.’s job-creation numbers rebounded in August after a decline in July, but overall the provincial economy appears to be slowing down due to declines in the U.S., Europe and China. RBC, meanwhile, said an $8-billion federal shipbuilding contract and a $3.3-billion modernization at Rio Tinto’s smelter in Kitimat will stimulate job and economic growth next year, but sluggish trade performance could also work against that trend. Opposition New Democrat finance critic Bruce Ralston said the Liberals appear to using backdated jobs numbers to boost their jobs plan. He said Clark introduced the jobs plan in September 2011, but the government is quoting jobs numbers starting in August 2011, a month when almost 27,000 jobs were created. Ralston said he’s also concerned some companies can’t find enough skilled workers in B.C. to work on projects. “I don’t think it’s made a difference in the job market in B.C., but what it has pointed to is some of the real policy weaknesses the Liberals have generated in their time in office, and that is on the training, apprenticeship and advanced education files.�

NATIONAL OBITUARIES FRIESS, JOHN GEORGE — was a beloved husband, father, nono and bisnono who we were very blessed to have in our lives for 89 years. He lived life to the fullest and was always happy and smiling! Our hearts are heavy with sadness but our lives will forever be enriched with the love he shared with all of us. Rest in peace‌ you deserve it. John was born in Marithom, Saskatchewan on February 10, 1923 to John and Barbara Ann Friess and passed away on September 7, 2012 at KBRH in Trail. John had to leave school early to help his family on the farm. He came to BC at the age of 15 with good family friends. He found work with a moving company, then delivering coal before he gained employment with CM&S in 1952. He worked in the tramming department until he went to the Equipment Depot as a truck driver where he stayed until his retirement in 1983 after 31 years of service. When he came to Trail he met Dina Decembrini who had come to Trail from Christina Lake, they were married April 24, 1948. They welcomed son Danny followed by daughters Donna and Barbara Ann.

John was one of the original residents to move into Rosewood where he spent 8 joyful years involved in all there was to offer: card games, bingo, dime dice, horse races and many outings but most especially dancing. He was a smooth dancer and loved to give all a chance to have a spin with him. Ultimately he danced, laughed and smiled his way into many hearts, even with his oxygen and walker he rarely missed a dance, he was the best “walker dancerâ€?.

‘Greed’ behind latest gas price jump, says analyst THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - One industry analyst has a simple explanation for the higher gas prices that jolted motorists Wednesday in major Canadian centres: “greed.� The shock at the gas pumps was particularly acute in Montreal, where prices soared by as much as 13 cents a litre. The price of regular in the Montreal area was set at just under $1.53 a litre, an increase of almost 20 cents since the start of summer. Gasoline prices across southern and eastern Ontario also rose by about 3.4 cents, according to the website tomorrowsgaspricestoday.com. That put the price of regular in the greater Toronto area at just under $1.37 a litre, and $1.34 in the Ottawa area. Roger McKnight of En-Pro International says he’s checked over a number of the usual factors - like supply and demand, refinery problems and inventories in the United States - all of which dictate prices in Canada.
“There’s no reason for (gas prices) to be going up,� he said in an interview. “None whatsoever.� McKnight, an independent industry analyst whose company is based in Oshawa, Ont., says prices should actually have gone down because the Canadian dollar has increased in value. “When the Canadian dollar goes up in value, your prices should actually be dropping, but they actually went up,� he said. “So I’m going to have to use the word, ‘greed,’ insofar as the oil companies are concerned. He said that when it comes to refining capacity, Canada suffers from a lack of competition because it has only 14 refineries. The U.S., with just over nine times the population size, has more than 10 times the number of refineries - 144 of them - according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. McKnight points to the U.S. where he says gasoline demand has been down for three

He also said Montreal motorists pay more when compared to Toronto drivers because of the taxes that are slapped on after the gas is shipped to market. “The wholesale, or what we call the rack price, in Toronto and Montreal are almost exactly the same at about 90.2 cents,� McKnight noted. 5)& ,005&/":n4 05& &/":n4 0/-:

Another analyst who provides services to the industry offers a more generous interpretation for the price hikes. Jason Parent is with Kent Marketing of London, Ont., which offers data and consulting services to the petroleum sector. He says there are good reasons for the increase in gas prices - and “sometimes you have dig and scratch to find them.� Parent says wholesale prices have been coming up over the last week and significantly so in the last few days, with several factors coming into play. “One (factor) is the refineries that were shut down because of the hurricane in the southern (United) States,� he said in an interview. “They are back on line but that put a huge crimp in the supply which flows all the way up the eastern seaboard in the U.S. and into Canada.�

I
love hockey, that’s a given. I love the atmosphere in the rink when the novice players take to the ice full of exuberance even though they’re short on skill. I also love junior hockey for its competitiveness and showcase for homegrown talent. But I’m gradually beginning to dislike what is supposed to be the elite level of the sport. In fact, the thing I dislike about the NHL is that it’s no longer about the sport. Another looming labour dispute is shinning a light on the reasons not to be a fan of the NHL. The often-used quip, “billionaires fighting with millionaires,” only further illustrates the gap between the NHL and its fan base. Yet in that Ivory Tower called the NHL, there is no hint from the powers that be that there’s a connection with the real world. The owners are calling for more contract concessions while the players claim they’ve given up enough in the previous labour negotiations. Okay I’ll admit that does sound like many real-world labour disputes but that’s the only similarity unless the federal government steps in

ers who were also members of the Ottawa Roughriders. Hall of Fame quarterback Russ Jackson was a principal at an Ottawa high school. Hard to imagine Tyler Seguin, the 20-year-old Boston Bruin who signed a $34-million contract this week, preparing school assignments during the off season. The recent multi-million dollar signings of a variety of young players only muddies the waters further. On one hand owners are crying poor yet on the other hand they’re handing out an unprecedented number of long contracts. Here’s a league that refuses to admit when it’s wrong even when looking in the mirror. It continues to prop up floundering franchises while ignoring the clamour for teams in Canada. Even though Canadian billionaires step up with bucket-loads of money, the league prefers to use its own money to keep a franchise in a city that is luke-warm in its support at best. A hockey-mad province like Quebec or Ontario could easily support another NHL franchise but for some unknown reason, the league wants to have a franchise in
Phoenix or two in Florida. So if there is even one hint of a brain synapse at the NHL bargaining table, there will be some thought given to the fans. The first thing that should come out of the mouth of commissioner Gary Bettman is that the league is cutting ticket prices for the season as a thank you to fans for putting up with this crap once again. It would be the first league to acknowledge that it’s the fans that have enabled the owners and players to get rich. And, ultimately, created the beast that is currently rearing its ugly head. The best way to tell the fans that the league still depends on them is to open the doors wide. Free exhibition games, discounted regular-season tickets and more community-involvement from the players. Those could be the first small steps in mending the divide that grows daily between the NHL and its fan base. Will any of those things ever happen? I think there’s a better chance of seeing Tyler Seguin teaching Grade 9 geography. Guy Bertrand is the managing editor of the Trail Daily Times

LETTERS & OPINION
CROWN POINT HOTEL
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
MONDAY TO SATURDAY | 6:30 - 10AM
Rossland council’s hiring cause for concern If anyone had any doubts that CAO Victor Kumar controls Rossland council members like puppets on a string, the proof is now available. Mr. Kumar has resigned and has foisted his own hand-picked successor onto council. His resignation should have provided council with an opportunity to undertake an exhaustive search to find the most talented, capable, and knowledgeable candidate to replace him. Instead they hired Cecille Arnott without even an attempt to advertise for other potential candidates. Why did council not make any effort to look for a qualified replacement for Mr. Kumar? Their failure to undertake an adequate candidate search is disgraceful. Apparently, Mr. Kumar’s resignation, and Ms. Arnott’s hiring, took place in June but council has had little to say about the changes. Why the delay in making an announcement? What were they waiting for? Why is Mr. Kumar leaving? Did they want him to leave town without being noticed? Are they ashamed of the choice they made for his replacement? Ms. Arnott is a Certified General Accountant and has had a history of job-hopping in the last few years. In early 2006, she was the Director of Finance for
the Village of Pemberton and briefly the Acting CAO. She was replaced by an Interim CAO who was in turn replaced by a full time CAO. Why did she not get the job as CAO? She only worked for Pemberton for about eighteen months. Less than six months after the new CAO took over, she resigned to take a position as Administrator at the town of Keremeos. Part of the reason given for her resignation was to be closer to her family who had relocated to Christina Lake. She didn’t stay long at Keremeos either. She was only there for about six months when she was hired as the Manager of Finance for Rossland by former CAO Ron Campbell. Her brief stint as Manager of Finance was marked by a budget that imposed significantly higher taxes on the citizens of Rossland. Her recommendation to eliminate the Transportation Parcel Tax resulted in a significant shift in tax burden to higher valued homes. She also recommended a decrease in the business tax rate which led to an increase in taxes for all homeowners in Rossland. Ms. Arnott’s stay in Rossland was also short-lived. She was here for less than eight months before she took another job in Grand Forks. She is currently
the Chief Financial Officer and Deputy CAO for the City of Grand Forks. She was hired by none other than Mr. Kumar when he was CAO of Grand Forks. Grand Forks has just hired a new CAO to replace the most recent CAO, who retired. Ms. Arnott, as Deputy CAO would have logically been a preferred candidate to replace the retiring CAO. Instead, Grand Forks Council hired the Director of Operations for Peachland, Doug Allin. Mr. Allin was first hired by Peachland as a water mechanic. He has no previous experience as a CAO. So why did Grand Forks hire someone with no experience rather than their Deputy CAO? Was her move to Rossland prompted by her being passed over for the Grand Forks CAO job? The hiring of Ms. Arnott is just one more example of Mr. Kumar’s influence over council. Council members seem willing to rubber stamp whatever recommendations he puts in front of them rather than doing their homework to explore other alternatives. The decisions they’ve made based on Mr. Kumar’s recommendations will continue to haunt taxpayers long after his presence here is forgotten. Laurie Charlton Rossland
Just shake hands and call it a draw An editorial from the New Glasgow News From the start it was clear there would be no triumphant political win in scrapping the federal long-gun registry. Canadians were divided on the issue. No matter which side you took on this one, you could be assured that many other Canadians opposed your view. In the latest volley in the battle, the Quebec Superior Court sided with the provincial government Monday and ordered the federal government to hand over that province’s registry data. In wake of the federal government’s scrapping of the registry earlier this year, Quebec fought to maintain its portion of the controversial system.
Political parties there and the public largely supported it. Quebec taxpayers helped pay for the system. Justice MarcAndre Blanchard ruled that the registry data cannot be viewed as being strictly “federal� and said Quebec has a right to it. Following Sept. 10th’s decision, the federal Conservatives indicated they would continue pursuing the matter. Supreme Court of Canada, here we come. Originally, in response to Quebec’s request, the federal government flippantly claimed it hadn’t the jurisdiction to hand over the registry information to a province. But an earlier ruling declared that wasn’t so. So the feds had to change tack. They dug in to fight Quebec’s move anyway. The money to compile the
registry is money already spent, so the `wasteful’ argument is largely behind us. What remains is more so saving face. Why can’t the federal government just bow to Quebec’s wishes? Retaining the registry there apparently has widespread support. Yet the feds would drag the issue out and spend more taxpayers’ money to fight it in Supreme Court. This demonstration of the public’s will in one province simply emphasizes the fact the decision to scrap will remain up for debate. The Conservatives are fond of claiming they had a “mandate� whenever they do anything, as if support for every initiative is implicit in an election win. They should realize not all their moves are roundly embraced.

Triathlete Susan Benzer punched her ticket to the World Ironman Triathlon in Kona, Hawaii next month with a second place finish in her first ever Ironman in Penticton in August. swim and arduous bike ride. “I have never run over three hours in my life, so I had no idea how that part of it would go, but just trusting my coach, with knowing that the training was good and I had done everything I possibly could to prepare.� After seven kilometers a minor crisis developed. Benzer was not achieving her pacing goals so she stopped looking at her watch and just kept her legs moving. “I said, ‘I’m just going to do the best I can in the moment’ and decided I was just happy to finish Ironman, that Kona and everything was just out the window, because I just wasn’t running as fast as I had planned to run.�
The strategy helped Benzer relax. She finished the race strong holding off the third place finisher, and coming in with the seventh best time of 4:17:09, good enough for second spot in her category at 11:18:17. “I’m surprised everything went as smoothly as it did on the day,� said Bitting. “Because an event like that, even if someone is physically in perfect condition there’s a million things that can go wrong . . . All of the physical parameters said that she had the potential to have a great performance, but for it to actually play out is a great thing to see.� While some might think the Ironman a peculiar form of tor-
ture, as doctors, Bitting and Benzer take keen interest in pushing the body to explore both its physical and psychological limits. “It’s absolutely fascinating,� said Benzer. “The whole training process really is a science and it works. I have learnt so, so much with this journey.� Fruitvale’s Carol Corbett who qualified in the Arizona triathlon last year will join Benzer in Kona next month, while Bitting is peparing for the Xterra Ironman triathlon at the end of October. “The journey was just amazing. I was happy with the journey without the race, and to have the race is icing on the cake definitely,� added Benzer.

U12’s sting Sting in OT BY TIMES STAFF The Kootenay South Youth Soccer Associations U12 boys soccer team struck gold at a tournament in Idaho last weekend. About 1,800 players from U9 to U15 descended on Sandpoint for the epic 31st annual Pend d’Oreille Cup soccer tournament. But it was the KSYSA Warriors made up of players from Fruitvale, Trail, Warfield, Rossland and Castlegar who ruled the day in boys U12. The team swept all four games, winning a final game thriller against the Coeur d’Alene Sting to take home the championship trophy Sunday. The Warriors led the game 2-1 heading into
the final minutes, but a Coeur d’Alene striker raced down the pitch and lifted a perfect shot into the top corner to tie it and force a shootout. The West Kootenay boys fell behind in the shootout but counted its last two goals, while Coeur d’Alene was stymied on its final two attempts by Warrior goalie Keenan Crossman, to claim a 3-2 victory. The team opened the tournament with a 4-0 win over the Missoula Strikers before downing the Sting in the round robin 2-1. The Warriors then shut out the home team Sandpoint Strikers in a hard fought 1-0 win to advance to the final. See photo Page 10.

WARRIORS MINE GOLD IN PEND D’OREILLE
Last minute proposals tabled THE CANADIAN PRESS NEW YORK - The final push to get a new NHL collective bargaining agreement is on. After almost two weeks without faceto-face negotiations, labour talks between the league and NHL Players’ Association resumed with a flurry of activity Wednesday. Both sides tabled a proposal in an attempt to avoid another work stoppage. The current deal is set to expire just before midnight on Saturday and the owners have said they’ll enact another lockout if a new agreement isn’t reached beforehand. The NHLPA’s initial offer was countered with one by the league that will see the players get 49 per cent of
revenue in the first year and scale back to 47 per cent over the course of the six-year deal, according to a source. That’s up from a starting point of 46 per cent in the NHL’s last offer, but still well down from the 57 per cent players saw last season. Commissioner Gary Bettman says the league will withdraw its offer if its not accepted by the time the current labour agreement ends. “With every day we’re experiencing and will continue to experience - damage to the game and to the business of the game,� said Bettman. “What we’re trying to do now is stem that damage. What we would be prepared to do now to make a deal before

there’s extensive damage is not the same that we’ll be prepared to do in the event we get to a point where we’ve suffered the damage.� NHLPA executive director Don Fehr said the union’s proposal was “consistent� with its previous offer. “Our proposal was made with the same principles that we have always had in mind, and those are that we didn’t see any reason, given seven years of record revenue growth and the enormous concessions the players made the last time, to have an absolute reduction in salaries,� he said, adding the players would be willing to have their share “fall over time� as league revenues grow.

That facility would be a big part of the bid, Steeves said, being designed for disabled athletes. Indeed Kimberley’s history of accessibility will be a big point in its favour. “Our accessibility is way better than Panorama,� he said. “Plus we have community buy-in with the city, Tourism Kimberley, Economic Development and RCR on board. We have facilities like the conference centre, the airport, ski in/ski out accommodation, and community involvement in the bid committee.� One of the extras in the Kimberley bid will be a night slalom, skied on the main run under the lights. Also planned are parties in the Resort plaza and the Platzl, fireworks, and a live race feed on giant screen TV. The Bid Committee consists of Steeves, Donna Briggs and Steve Bova from the Kimberley Disabled Skiers Association, Ted Funston from RCR, Kevin Wilson from the city, Jesse Ferguson from Tourism Kimberley and Grant Sharam from the Conference Centre. “It’s really exciting,� Steeves said. “If we win, it will be a fabulous day for Kimberley.� The bid must be in by Sept. 15.

CANUCKS
Luongo patient as lockout looms No deal on trade horizon THE CANADIAN PRESS SURREY, B.C. - Roberto Luongo was happy being a Vancouver Canuck - at least for one day. The veteran goaltender has been in limbo since the end of last season, when he lost the starting job in Vancouver to Cory Schneider and said he would waive his no-trade clause if the Canucks could work out a deal to send him to an approved destination. But Luongo was at a Canucks charity golf tournament on Wednesday, and he said he would have no trouble playing alongside his friend Schneider again and will attend Vancouver’s training camp, if neces-
sary. “Two months ago, after what had happened, and Schneids had just signed, I didn’t really see myself being here for training camp,� Luongo said. “But I realized once we got into August, that that was a possibility, and that I was OK with that.� He showed he was OK by participating in the Canucks’ annual event, golfing with teammates and team staff at Northview Golf Course. “The fact that I have a lot of good friends on the team, in the staff and the coaching staff and the organization, makes it a lot easier for me to be here,� he said. “That’s why I’m here today, and I didn’t really hesitate in deciding whether I should come or not.� Under collect-

ive bargaining rules, Luongo must be traded before Saturday’s NHL lockout deadline or wait until the labour dispute is resolved. Luongo was displaced by Schneider as Vancouver’s starting goaltender in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs as they bowed 4-1 to the eventual champion Los Angeles Kings. The Canucks subsequently signed Schneider to a new three-year, US$12million contract. Even without the current labour uncertainty, it would be difficult financially to keep both goaltenders. The 33-year-old Montreal native has indicated the Florida Panthers are his preferred destination. Luongo makes his offseason home in Florida and played for the Panthers before he was acquired in a trade by the Canucks following the last lockout in 2004-05. But the former Vezina Trophy winner, who still has 10 years left on his 12-year, $64-million contract, said the Canucks have not asked him to submit a list of preferred teams, and he will wait until general manager Mike Gillis has a deal for him to conwsider. Until then, Luongo is willing to be patient given the unusual situation with the lockout pending.

Mom’s ‘pure evil’ may be mental illness MAILBOX

depression. Do I need to go to her doctor and explain? -- Unhappy Daughter Dear Unhappy: We cannot imagine what would make your mother “pure evil,” but mental illness can cover a lot of difficult behavior. Some medications that treat depression also alleviate other symptoms, but this doesn’t appear to be the case with Mom. It’s OK for you to notify her psychiatrist’s office that Mom’s behavior is increasingly abusive, but the doctor cannot discuss the treatment with you unless Mom gives her permission. If you think that’s a possibility, please ask her
Dear Nanny: This is your business, not a favor for a friend. Be nice, but be professional about it. Tell these people that you will have to charge more if they are late. Let them know in advance when you have appointments set up, and tell them if they are not back by then, you will have to call a substitute. Insist that they provide the phone number for an available neighbor, or you cannot stay. You also could say, “I’m so sorry, but I’ll have to stop working for you because I am too often late for appointments.” And when they promise not to do it again, get the neighbor’s number anyway. Remember that no one can take advantage of you without your permission. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Not a Fan of the Big Gulp,” who was offended that guests brought their own drinks to a bridal shower. Lately, I’ve also
gotten into the habit of bringing my own drinks. I’m allergic to coffee, and many times, that is the only beverage served. Some hosts get offended if you ask in advance what drinks will be available, and I understand that they
cannot cater to every individual. The people who brought their own drinks may have had a similar allergy. -Orlando Dear Orlando: That doesn’t quite cut it. When you are invited to someone’s home, it is
rude to bring your own beverages, especially when they are large soft drinks in plastic tubs. Those who are allergic to coffee, tea, lemonade or anything else can politely ask for a glass of water.

if you can come along to her next appointment. Dear Annie: I am a college student working as a nanny for a friend of my father’s. They pay much lower than I usually charge, but I don’t mind helping out. However, this woman and her husband frequently arrive late. As I write this, they are two hours past the time they said they’d be home. Annie, I don’t mind having to stay for an extra hour or so, but they wait until they are more than an hour late before they call to see whether it’s OK. I have missed several appointments at school because they are never on time, even if they promise to be home by a specific hour. I hate confrontations, and I like this family, but I am frustrated by their lack of respect for my time. How do I handle this? -- Frustrated Nanny in Florida

Dear Annie: My mom is 67 and pure evil. She manipulates her doctors, who don’t know the real truth. I’ve tried to remain patient and respectful, to no avail. My mom has pushed everyone away. She has no friends. Since my father died, she’s become severely depressed. I’ve supported her and stood by her after all the evil and hateful things she’s done, but I can’t keep doing it. Her sister came from Europe after a 30-year absence, and Mom treated her so poorly that my aunt says she’ll never come back. Now my mom has a boyfriend she met online who is 12 years younger. She won’t allow him to speak to his family members. She’s become physically and verbally abusive toward everyone. I know she must be mentally ill, but the psychiatrist is only treating her for

YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Friday, Sept. 14, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Look for ways to improve your health today, because you will see something. You also might see ways to introduce improvements where you work. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Serious discussions with others about the care and education of your children can be productive today. Similarly, discussions related to professional sports, the arts and hospitality will be worthwhile. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Look for ways to improve laundry areas, bathrooms, plumbing and anything having to do with garbage or recycling. You can make positive changes at home today. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re unusually convincing in all your discussions of others today. That’s why this
is a strong day for those of you who sell, write, teach or act. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might see new ways to earn money today. Others will see new uses or applications for something you already own. (Clever you.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A realistic look in the mirror might help you see how you can improve your appearance today. Why not create a better impression in your world? (You can only make your life easier.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your ability to research and identify answers to problems is excellent today. You will be relentless in your search for solutions. (You’re like a dog with a bone.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You probably will encounter a powerful person today, especially in a group situa-
tion. See what you can learn. (Possibly, you are the powerful person for others.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Private details about your life might be made public today. If you are upset by this, you no doubt will cover this up with your breezy humor (as you always do). CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A powerful teacher or gurulike figure might come
into your life today. Listen to what is offered, because it’s never too late to learn something valuable. Definitely! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might see new ways to divide something that is already being shared. Alternatively, you might see new uses for something you own jointly with someone. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t try to improve your
partner or a close friend in your attempt to improve the relationship. Nobody wants to be “made over.” It’s best to take two-way approach whereby you both agree to make changes for the better. YOU BORN TODAY You value family, and you are concerned not only with your own family, but even other families. You will work to establish efficient systems to benefit others if possible. You love to learn, and have
