Northern BC mines not set in stone Mandarin not required for potential miners, MLA Bennett says ANNALEE GRANT Townsman Staff

Temporary foreign workers are necessary to ensure investment in B.C.’s mining industry, says MLA Bill Bennett.

Bennett, also Minister for Community, Sport and Cultural Development, said temporary foreign workers

from China will be brought in to do initial samples at proposed coal mines in northern B.C. that will utilize longwall mining techniques.

Once the sampling has been done and should the mine go ahead, Bennett said the provincial government will look at ensuring Canadian miners can fill the jobs longterm.

“There will be no opportunity, no need to train anyone, unless this bulk sample is taken and a decision made to build the mine — and that can’t happen without these temporary foreign workers,” Bennett said.

Another day, another scam CAROLYN GRANT bulletin@cyberlink.ca

Police are continually warning against scams, and scammers are continually coming up with creative ways to continue to scam.

A new scam making the rounds via email is a request for funds to help out an acquaintance who has been robbed in a foreign country.

This one is very hard to resist, as the writer describes being stranded in a foreign country with no money or credit cards, just a passport, after a supposed theft.

Betty Aitchison from Kimberley received just such an email on Tuesday morning this week. It was from someone she knew, Darryl Bishop of Cranbrook, who is involved with the Sunrise Rotary Club’s Rockies Film Series.

Nerve monitor welcomed at hospital

East Kootenay Regional Hospital christened a new piece of high-tech equipment on Friday Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Surgeons at East Kootenay Regional Hospital are now better equipped for head and neck surgery.

Chief of surgery Dr. Ryan Cain took delivery of a new nerve integrity monitor on Friday, October 26, and performed two surgeries using the $50,000 equipment the same day.

“It gives you real time monitoring of the integrity of nerves in the head and neck,” said Dr. Cain.

The monitor is used by surgeons when dissecting tumours off nerves in the face so they can tell in real time whether nerve function has been preserved.

“This is a state-of-the-art machine,” said Dr. Cain. “It puts us on par with the latest and most up-to-date equipment.”

The hospital previously used an old-fashioned machine for this type of surgery, but it failed in the spring. Since then a wait list for head and neck surgeries has been growing.

“Interior Health found a way in a very tight budget,” said Dr. Cain. “It’s one of those unforeseen eventualities that pop up in the field of medicine.”

He said that the two head and neck surgeons in Cranbrook will perform two or three of these cases every two months.

“People appreciate having Sally MacDonald photo this work done here,” said Dr. Cain, rather than travelling to Medtronic representative Jessica Rudd (left) delivered a $50,000 nerve integrity monitor to surgery unit coordinator Marlene Skucas and chief of surgery Dr. Ryan Cain on Friday, Oct. 26.

Two Victoria women had a double scare from a shark and a tsunami alert on the last day their holiday in Maui on the weekend.

First, Jane Gair was snorkelling when she came within a few meters of a shark that later bit a California woman.

Gair swam ashore and warned her friend, Janice Speller, to get out of the water before the American woman was attacked, and the two Victorians later stayed with the woman and her husband until paramedics arrived.

Then later in the same day, Gair and Speller were among hundreds of people who sought higher ground after a tsunami alert that was triggered by the earthquake off the B.C. coast Saturday night.

Grade 2 FunPass

Husky Energy & Resorts of the Canadian Rockies support healthy, active lifestyles with free skiing for Grade 2 students Husky Energy and Resorts of the Canadian Rockies (RCR) are pleased to once again present the Husky Grade 2 FunPass™ program. The program provides young skiers with a complimentary Season Pass valid at Western Canadian RCR ski resorts. The program offers the opportunity for youth to learn and build their skiing and snowboarding skills, while encouraging a healthy, active, family lifestyle. The Husky Grade 2 FunPass™ program provides eligible children with a Husky RCR Rockies Grade 2 Pass; good for season pass privileges at Fernie Alpine Resort, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, Kimberley Alpine Resort, and Nakiska Ski Area.

“Getting kids active with their families in the great outdoors is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle,” says Bill Bennett, Minster of Community, Sport & Cultural Development.

“It’s great to see Husky Energy and Resorts of the Canadian Rockies continuing to lead a program that promotes outdoor recreational activity among our youth and making skiing and snowboarding available to all Grade 2 students.”

“Skiing and snowboarding are some of the best activities that families can enjoy together,” says Matt Mosteller, Marketing & Sales VP for Resorts of the Canadian Rockies. “Minister Bennett and Minister of Job, Tourism & Skills Training, Pat Bell, both played pivotal roles as they along with the BC Liberals lead the country in getting kids active and healthy in British Columbia.

Another scam From Page 1 In it, the writer, supposedly Bishop, tells the recipient that he and his family are trapped in Manilla, Philippines after being robbed. They have eight hours to catch their flight, and the police and embassy are not being helpful. The request is for 1850 Euros, with the assurance that it will be paid back as soon as the writer returns to Canada.

Of course, Darryl Bishop never left Canada.

His email was hacked.

“I have been hacked,” Bishop said. “Unfortunately the email went out to all 230 contacts of the Rockies Film Series.”

Interestingly, Bishop says he received a similar email a few weeks ago from someone in the United States.

“I found myself a little torn between disbelief and hoping that the person was all right. It’s fairly convincing.”

Bishop says he doesn’t know if him receiving an email like that is related to his account being hacked. However, he assures everyone that his password has now been changed and there should be no more emails like that sent out.

Incidentally, the Rockies Film Series presents Inescapable on Thursday November 1,2012 at the Columbia Theatre at 7 pm.

Act now on climate change, experts urge SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Two climate change experts were in Cranbrook last week to urge Columbia Basin residents to get informed about the predicted changes to our water resources.

Bob Sandford, the EPCOR Chair of the Canadian Partnership Initiative in support of United Nations “Water for Life” Decade, and Deborah Harford, executive director of Simon Fraser University’s Adaption to Climate Change Team, visited Cranbrook and Kimberley on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to give public lectures at McKim Middle School and the College of the Rockies, also meeting with students in both cities.

The series was sponsored by Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook, Wildsight and the College of the Rockies.

The pair spoke about how predicted climate change will affect our water resources, and what we in the East Kootenay can do to prepare.

“My message for the Kootenays is that what is happening in the rest of

Canada and around the world suggests you are in a very positive position with respect to the benefits that will accrue here as a result of managing water more effectively,” Sandford told the Townsman.

“By decreasing water usage, by being very careful in understanding natural processes and ecosystem needs for water, by understanding the larger dynamics of the Columbia River Treaty, you can position yourself as a region to have a very positive future.”

Harford explained the impacts climate change will have here in the East Kootenay.

“You will get warmer, wetter winters with more rain falling as snow on lower elevations, and more heavy precipitation events that are unpredictable. So you’ve got more chance of flooding. There will be longer, hotter, drier summers, without the benefit of the snowpack and ice that used to be there at lower elevations running off, so you are more likely to get drought at the end of the summer,” she told the Townsman.

“All of those things have implications for everything from civic infrastructure, to farmers and their water allocations, to how we deal with the Columbia River Treaty.”

Sandford agreed that reconsidering the Columbia River Treaty is a pivotal opportunity for our region. It gives us the chance to make policy based on the current understanding of ecosystems, an energized hydrological cycle, equity with First Nations, and the fact that climate change could affect surrounding regions differently to how it affects us.

“The reconsideration of the Columbia River Treaty is an opportunity to address all of those things simultaneously so that you might be able to use crafting of new conditions of the treaty as an adaptation strategy for the entire region,” said Sandford.

B.C.’s water act has elements that are more than 100 years old,

Harford went on.

“It predates climate change, it predates pretty much everything that has ever happened in B.C. We really need to encourage our leaders to keep that on the table,” she said, adding that it doesn’t contain groundwater protection policies.

“I encourage people to write to their mayors and councillors, to their MLAs and MPs, and to think about this in the provincial election next year,” said Harford.

“Find out all about it and then write to the current premier and the opposition and tell them, I want to see this on the table because we need to protect our water in B.C.” The Columbia Basin is uniquely positioned to make a difference to the province, Sandford pointed out.

“Water act modernization, nesting that in the Columbia River Treaty, and responding to these larger issues is an eco-

nomic and a social opportunity for the people who live in the Basin and ought to be considered as such,” he said.

“In this town, your mayor is a central player in some of those considerations. You have people in your municipal government who have influence on these matters. They would appreciate the best advice they can get and the best understanding of what their constituents want.”

Harford echoed the importance of speaking up.

“We really need to let our leaders know that we care about it. Anybody in this region who does care about our water systems would be helping by bringing that up,” she said.

“Let local leaders know you want to see these issues considered in policy, and that you are prepared to help and support.”

Underground coal mines are rare these days From Page 1 The jobs were posted by HD Mining, Canadian Kailuan Dehua Mines, and Canadian Dehua International Mines Group. The United Steelworkers have slammed the provincial government for not ensuring B.C. residents were eligible for the job. They point to a job application dated October 12 that required workers speak Mandarin.

“Never in the history of Canadian mining have we ever seen a requirement to speak Mandarin mentioned in a posting for a job in a Canadian mine,” said Steve Hunt, the Steelworkers’ Western Canadian director. “A requirement like that automatically eliminates the vast majority of Canadian job applicants from consideration.”

But Bennett said that simply isn’t the case.

“The company is not requiring Mandarin as a condition of employment,” he said.

The Health, Safety and Reclamation Code of B.C. which governs the province’s mine industry, says that all fire bosses and shift bosses are required to be conversant with the English language to be issued a competency certificate to work in a B.C. mine. The code also says no person will be issued a valid blasting certificate without being able to give and receive orders in English.

The B.C. Ministry of Mines confirmed that is the case with all proposed mines in B.C., and there will be no exemptions for these operations.

“The province under the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in B.C. requires underground coal mine managers and foremen (fire bosses) to be fluent in the English language and pass an examination in English,” said a ministry spokesperson.

“Longwall mining is an underground coal mining method.

Fire bosses will not be exempt from the English language requirements.”

There are now only two underground coal mines left in the country — one on Vancouver Island and the other in Alberta.

“Canada has no surplus underground coal mine workers because the industry has almost died out,” Bennett said.

“The skills required for underground coal mine workers are extremely different from open pit coal mine jobs and even quite distinct from underground metal mines.

It takes a minimum of two years training and many more years than that for the more specialized jobs.”

NDP candidate for Kootenay East Norma Blissett said the lack of workers qualified for underground coal mines stems from the B.C. Liberal government’s lack of investment in training skilled workers.

“Under the Liberals we’ve had a decade where we’ve failed to educate skilled workers,” she said. “We’re mining other countries of their skilled workers.

We want those high paying jobs for our people.”

Blissett said northern B.C. is experiencing a 10 per cent unemployment rate.

“We have people who need jobs — but they need training,” she said.

Mining coal underground can be a dangerous occupation be-

cause of the explosiveness of coal dust and build-ups of methane gas.

“Only experienced underground coal mine workers can do this dangerous work and Canada has none,” Bennett said.

The World Coal Association has said that fatalities in underground coal mine operations in China are “unacceptably high, particularly due to the number of unregulated small coal mines that have operated in recent years.” As of August 31, there have been 62 fatalities in Chinese coal mines.

Bennett said he has seen first hand the commitment to safety in Chinese mines.

“China has lots of small family-operated coal mines that are dangerous,” Bennett admitted. “They also have some of the safest mines in the world. I toured one in 2006.”

Blissett said if the mine goes forward, mine inspectors must be able to communicate with the work force to properly do their jobs.

“We need to ensure that those safety concerns are met before this goes ahead,” she said.

With the industry shifting due to higher prices of metallurgical coal, more companies are beginning to explore underground mining in Canada, Bennett said.

“The considerable extra cost of building and operating underground coal mines versus surface mines is now worth it and many mining exploration companies have been drilling and exploring for underground opportunities,” he said.

The temporary foreign workers will be sinking a shaft down to collect a bulk sample, which will determine the viability of a new mine.

“The temporary foreign workers will take four to six months to extract the bulk sample,” Bennett said. “Then the company will assess the quality of the coal and will make a decision as to whether to invest the hundreds of millions required to build an underground coal mine.”

Bennett said that if the mine goes ahead, Canadians will be trained for the jobs.

“If B.C. does get an underground coal mine – and that is still very much unknown – we will be training Canadian workers to take the jobs. It makes no sense to invest tax dollars in training underground coal mine workers before we know we have an underground coal mine.”

“There are tens of thousands of temporary foreign workers working in Canada today. Our ski hills couldn’t survive without them – neither could parts of the agriculture industry.” foreign workers working in Canada today,” he said. “Our ski hills couldn’t survive without them – neither could parts of the agriculture industry.”

In the case of the

northern B.C. mines, Bennett said the workers will only be in the country for four to six months, not 10 years as has been predicted by the NDP opposition.

Blissett said she questions how long the workers will actually be in the province.

“There’s been estimates that these people could be here three to four years,” she said.

The first wave of temporary foreign workers was set to arrive by the end of the month, part of 200 that will work in northern B.C. altogether.

Fun Pass

From Page 3 It helps to have his support, as he understands how important it is to get kids and families to enjoy the great outdoors. This program promotes a healthy, active, outdoor lifestyle at a young age, by giving Grade 2 students the opportunity to try the sport for free for an entire season. We are always excited to introduce a new generation of skiers and riders to the sport.”

To qualify for the Husky Grade 2 FunPass™ program, children must be in Grade 2 (or born in 2005). A copy of a birth certificate, current Grade 2 report card, or last year’s Grade 1 report card, must be provided for a pass to be issued. There is a $20 processing fee for the pass, which is a saving of over $500 off a regular pass price for a child.

No, no, don’t write me any nasty letters about your aunt on Cortez Island. I know island dwellers are great people. Unfortunately, transporting these great people from one island to another to the mainland is costing a great deal of money that BC Ferries doesn’t have.

So they want to consult with coastal people and island dwellers about how much pain they are prepared to put up with in order to continue to live a two-ferry trip from the mainland.

The government consultation will ask residents if they support cable ferries, passenger-only service, bridges, property-tax increases or fuel-tax hikes to support ferry service.

It’s a difficult situation. You can’t ask people to move simply because the only route off their island is too expensive to service. You can’t build a bridge linking every island, although there are a few places a bridge may be the answer.

But one thought keeps occurring to me. People who depend solely on ferry service for access to the mainland are paying through the nose for it. And people who have alternate routes but may enjoy a ferry ride across, say Kootenay Lake, on a lovely summer day, don’t pay a dime. BC’s interior ferry routes are free.

There’s an answer here somewhere. What could I be missing?

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Light and Sound Re: “Living — For eternity or in the here and now?” (Yme Woensdregt): The existence of God can be proven only to oneself, as we are different in levels of consciousness. When IT descends to the material world, it goes through our consciousness and can be seen as a light and heard as a sound. When the experience is given, is subjective and beyond the description of human words.

To experience the Light and Sound of God, one must go through a series of personal disciplines to purify the mind. It is done through a series of spiritual exercises, as known to the followers of an ancient teaching called Eckankar. There is no guarantee that you will experience the Light and Sound of God, but the question is how much you desire it.

We are all vehicles of God through our consciousness, whether we are aware of it or not. Eckankar was introduced to the world in 1965. This letter is not intended to promote this teaching, but understand that only man can teach man in the material world. If you want God’s existence proven to you, search for the higher teaching.

The spiritual exercise is a means to open your third eye, to see beyond the

human senses. The proof is given only if you deserve it. As with everything in the material world, to deserve it you must work for it.

Project Red Ribbon MADD Canada celebrates its 25th anniversary of our largest and longest-running public awareness campaign on Thursday, Nov. 1, with Project Red Ribbon Day. Project Red Ribbon is designed to combat impaired driving during the holidays. The red ribbon is a symbol of a person’s commitment to drive safe and sober during the holiday season and throughout the year, and also serves as a reminder to other motorists to drive sober.

The small but powerful ribbon symbolizes the wearers’ commitment to sober driving and reminds us all that the deaths and injuries resulting from impairmentrelated crashes are needless and preventable.

Together with local partners, area businesses, the MADD Cranbrook is asking residents of the East Kootenay to show their commitment to sober driving this

holiday season by tying a red ribbon to their vehicles, key chains, purses, briefcases and backpacks.

Red ribbons are available from MADD Kimbrook at 250-432-9590 or maddkimbrook@gmail.com , the MADD Canada web site, Allstate Insurance Company of Canada office and local participating retailers City of Cranbrook, The Drive FM/ B-104, Bear’s Eatery.

Snow shovelling Thank you for your article on snow shovelling in Monday’s paper — as one that walks around town I appreciate it when the sidewalk is clear of snow and ice.

I’m fortunate enough to be able to shovel our sidewalk but many people are not able; however, if those of us who are able shovelled our neighbours’ (two to the left and two to the right) sidewalks I’m sure we would have virtually all of Cranbrook’s walks shovelled.

Sam Reinhart to suit up for Team WHL in Super Series TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice forward Sam Reinhart has been named to Team WHL for one game in the upcoming Subway Super Series in the middle of November.

Reinhart will head down to Vancouver for the opening game of the WHL’s turn in the Super Series—a stretch of six games where a squad of Russian junior players tours across Canada, challenging a team of all-stars in each of the three CHL major-junior leagues.

Vancouver will host the first game on Nov. 14, followed by a second game in Victoria the next night.

Reinhart will also get to lace up his skates alongside his older brother, Griffin, a defenceman with the Edmonton Oil Kings who was selected fourth overall in this year’s NHL Draft by the New York Islanders.

“In the summer, we get to play together, but it’s been a while since we’ve played on the same team,” said Sam, “so it’s going to be nice

playing with him and not having to go against him.”

Griffin will skate in both games, as the Super Series is billed as a way for scouts to assess talent level for the World Junior Championships in December.

Curtis Lazar, Eric Comrie and Sam Reinhart are the only 1995born players on the roster. Lazar and Comrie will play in both games, while Reinhart will only appear in one contest.

Adam Lowry and Graham Black with the Swift Current Broncos were both named to Team WHL as well.

Both came through Cranbrook on Friday with their squad, defeating the Ice 5-2 at Western Financial Place.

Lowry, who captains the Broncos, will skate in both games, while Black will appear in the final affair on Nov. 15 in Victoria.

“I think it’s a thrill every time you get nominated one of these games,” said Lowry, 19. “You get to play with some of the

best players in the league, so it’s obviously a lot of fun to be able to be a part of this and huge honour.”

Lowry knows Hockey Canada will be watching everyone, and he hopes he can perform well enough in the two games as well as with his home squad.

“It’s definitely the goal of every player to play at the highest level and the World Juniors is probably the pinnacle of junior hockey,” Lowry said. “Coming into this year, you want to have a good start to the season, try to impress Hockey Canada.”

Black, another 19-year-old, is making his first appearance on Team WHL, as his nomination came out of the blue, he said.

“It’s unbelievable.

It’s a dream come true, it’s what you think of when you’re growing up as a kid, playing in front of that many people,” Black said, “and playing for a team that’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I hope I make the best of it.”

NHL players given escrow cheques CHRIS JOHNSTON Canadian Press

T O R O N T O — Locked-out NHL players had the pain of missing their first full pay period offset Tuesday when they received last season’s escrow cheque.

Players were returned 7.98 per cent of what they earned last year, plus interest, one day before their second paycheque of the 201213 season would have been due, according to a spokesman for the NHL Players’ Association The escrow payments amount to about $80,000 for every million dollars a player earned— before deductions. For example, New York Rangers forward Brad Richards grossed approximately $960,000 after being the league’s highest-paid player last season.

Under the terms of the expired collective bargaining agreement, NHL players had a portion of their salaries de-

ducted throughout the season and placed into an escrow account.

Once the final accounting for a year was completed, which ensured the correct percentage of revenue was paid out in salaries, players were refunded accordingly.

Tuesday’s escrow payment came at an important time with the lockout set to eliminate another pay cycle. Players also missed a cheque on Oct. 15, but that would only have covered four days of work.

The paycheque they were to have been given Wednesday would have been for a full halfmonth period.

NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr met with a group of players in Minnesota on Monday night and acknowledged in an interview with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that some of his constituents are concerned about lost wages that are mounting during the lockout.

“But that doesn’t mean you make a bad agreement because of it,’’ Fehr told the newspaper.

The NHL’s labour talks have been on hold since Oct. 18, when the NHLPA countered a league offer with three proposals of its own.

Each of those was quickly rejected.

Since then, a leagueimposed deadline to play a full season passed without further talks and the NHL cancelled all games through Nov. 30.

The Jan. 1 Winter Classic outdoor game is expected to be wiped off the schedule later this week.

Superstorm Sandy forced the NHL to close its New York headquarters on Monday and Tuesday, but deputy commissioner Bill Daly indicated that it didn’t affect the bargaining process. However, he added in an email that there was no progress to report on the labour front.

TOURNAMENT TITLE: The Mount Baker junior boys volleyball team takes a minute to celebrate with the championship trophy after capturing the title during a home volleyball tournament over the weekend.

Wild find success on the court TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The junior volleyball teams at Mount Baker were successful over the weekend, as the girls and boys both captured the first place crown.

The girls, which have enough players for two teams, even clashed against each other for an all-Mount Baker final, with Team

Black coming out on top for the win.

The boys ended up beating a team from Sparwood in their final match to earn their first place.

The young men played in a four-team pool, before heading into playoffs, where they rattled off three

straight wins for the championship.

“They’re a good crew of guys,” said head coach Herb Tepper. “For the most part, everyone executed the game plan, everyone had goals they wanted to reach.”

Tepper has been working with the team for the last three years,

and said everything they’ve learned is starting to click.

The tournament win shows that, he added.

“The biggest thing is their commitment to the system that I’ve been trying to teach them the last few years,” said Tepper. “They’re starting to demonstrate everything they’ve picked up because of that commitment.”

MIAMI — LeBron James held his index finger aloft, then turned and took a walk nine years in the making.

A few moments later, a championship ring— finally—was his.

James and the Miami Heat celebrated their NBA title once again Tuesday night, with the ring-and-banner ceremony replete with an indoor fireworks show that immediately preceded their season opener against the Boston Celtics.

NBA Commissioner David Stern handed Heat owner Micky Arison the first ring of the night, and Arison handed the others out to executives, coaches and players.

James went last, as the crowd roared for the reigning NBA MVP. “It’s not given,’’ James said earlier Tuesday.

“These moments are not

given.’’

Stern gave brief remarks to the crowd, starting his address by mentioning “those who were affected’’ by Hurricane Sandy, which struck the East Coast earlier this week. (Stern misspoke and referred to the storm Hurricane Katrina, though his point was clear.) He congratulated Heat executives and coaches, then lauded Miami’s players.

“And congratulations to the Miami Heat fans,’’ Stern said.

The only player to address the crowd was veteran Mike Miller, who spoke after warmups.

“We want to thank you guys so much for all your support,’’ Miller said. “Without you guys, a night like tonight’s not possible. The journey that starts tonight is going to be even more challenging, so we’re going to need your passion, your support and

your energy even more.

Enjoy the game tonight and let it fly.’’

The rings had the words “All In’’ on one side, and “Family’’ underneath two images of the Larry O’Brien Trophy on the other. James hugged Stern briefly as the commissioner said a few words, then got a few words from Arison before checking out the box that held his newest bauble.

Players posed for a quick photo as the banner started being raised, then James and others took their rings out to examine the detail. He touched the banner as it rose behind him, then went back to checking out the ring.

Soon, they were put away, the lights came on, and the season started.

“I think we all know what another year’s all about,’’ James said. “We know what our longterm goal is. But we’re

not going to take any short cuts. It’s a process.

It’s always been that way for us.’’

The pursuit of a title is what drove James every year since joining the NBA in 2003, and he had been close twice, ultimately falling in his first two trips to the NBA Finals.

His breakthrough came last June, and James capped his stellar post-season with a triple-double in Game 5 of the finals against Oklahoma City, as the Heat capped off the second title in franchise history.

“I’m not going to take this moment for granted,’’ James said. “It doesn’t happen to everyone. I know the history of the game. I am going to live in the moment. Not going to sit here and say I’m not. It’s a special moment for not only our team, for our organization, for the city, whoever’s a Miami Heat fan, our families,

everything. We’ll live in the moment, but we also have some other business to take care of as well.’’

In the long term, that means another title.

In the short term, that meant getting ready for Boston.

Miami’s first ring night was an unmitigated disaster _ a 108-66 loss to the Chicago Bulls after the 2006 championship jewelry was issued. The Heat were on the other end of a banner blowout last Christmas in Dallas, where in a finals rematch they ran out to a 35-point lead shortly after halftime.

The Heat were clearly inspired by having a chance to put a damper on Dallas’ day. And they expected the Celtics to feel the same way, after Miami ousted Boston in last season’s Eastern Conference finals and then lured Ray Allen away in a free-agency coup over the summer.

Argonauts to rest Ricky Ray in regular season finale Dan R alph Canadian Press

LeBron James and the Heat get their title rings Tim Reynolds Associated Press

wednesday, october 31, 2012

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — The Toronto Argonauts’ reward to Ricky Ray for being named the CFL’s offensive player of the week is time off.

Ray received the CFL’s weekly honour Tuesday after throwing four TD passes in a 31-26 road win over Saskatchewan on Saturday. Toronto (8-9) locked up second spot in the East Division with the victory as well as home-field advantage for the conference semifinal Nov. 11.

With a playoff spot sewn up, Ray will watch the Argos’ regular-season final Thursday night against the arch-rival Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Backup Jarious Jackson will start against Hamilton with youngsters Trevor Harris and Zach Collaros also scheduled to play.

“It’s a short week and he (Ray) isn’t 100 per cent healthy,’’ Argos head coach Scott Milanovich said regarding why Ray won’t play. “I believe it’s my job to get

him into the playoff game as healthy as he can possibly be.

“I think that’s in the best interest of our football team.’’

Milanovich’s decision is certainly good news for desperate Hamilton (6-11). The Ticats must beat Toronto and hope the Calgary Stampeders defeat the Edmonton Eskimos on Friday night to make the playoffs.

If Hamilton loses, Edmonton will qualify for the playoffs, either crossing over into the East Division or finishing third in the West.

The Eskimos (7-11) need a win over Calgary and a B.C. victory over Saskatchewan on Saturday night to take the No. 3 Western playoff seed.

The Riders can clinch third with either an Eskimos loss or by downing the defending Grey Cup-champion Lions, who have already cemented first in the West. If Saskatchewan and Edmonton finish tied, the Esks will get the higher position based on having won the season series.

Kamloops to host its second Canadian men’s curling championship in 2014

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Kamloops, B.C., has been awarded the Canadian men’s curling championship for the second time.

The Canadian Curling Association announced Tuesday that the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier will be played March 1-9 at the Interior Savings Centre.

Kamloops last hosted the Brier in 1996, when Manitoba’s Jeff Stoughton stole the victory against Alberta’s Kevin Martin in an extra end.

This will mark just the seventh time that British Columbia has hosted the Brier since the championship began in 1927 in Toronto.

The 2013 Tim Hortons Brier will be held March 2-10 at Rexall Place in Edmonton.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Deal with someone’s requests. You could be aggravated on some level, but it would be worth it to step back and evaluate your mood before taking action. Try not to look at the incident itself, but instead at your authentic feelings for this person. Tonight: Surprises happen left and right.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Those around you are full of themselves right now, which could force you to back off some. These people simply have strong personalities, but it might feel like you are on the receiving end of a power play. You just might want to go along with the program. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s idea.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creative ideas mark the morning. By the afternoon, it is business as usual. Take time

with a parent or boss who might need some help. You want to be there for this person, but you also want to get home to greet the little gremlins that will come by.

Tonight: Consider an unexpected offer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Confusion forces your hand in a situation. A misunderstanding helps you initiate a long-overdue conversation. Let your imagination run wild, and you could find that many doors will open up as a result. A brainstorming session demonstrates your creativity. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to spend more time at home or with a family member. Even if you have to work, you still can plan on making time with this person afterward. He or she will be delighted by your actions. Tonight: You do not need to go far to have a haunting experience.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: In the 20 years I’ve been with my partner, I’ve had suspicions that he’s cheated. Whenever I confront him, he becomes angry and tries to turn it around on me. I finally decided I had to know, so I bought mini digital voice recorders and left them on in the house whenever I’d leave for work. Lo and behold, my suspicions were correct.

My problem now is how to confront him with the proof. I’m not proud that I’ve been spying on him for weeks. But he would never own up to his cheating unless it was indisputable. I know he will be angry with me, but what he has done is totally wrong.

He keeps telling me we need to work on us. How is that possible when he makes a phone call to his “girlfriend” every morning after I leave for work? This is making me physically ill. -- Had To Know Dear Had: Your boyfriend’s behavior made you suspicious, so you took the step of finding proof. And you found it. Stop berating yourself for doing a little private detective work. Your boyfriend is cheating. He will continue to make excuses and try to put the blame on you. Tell him what you discovered, show him the proof, and tell him it’s over.

And mean it.

Dear Annie: Christmas is just around the corner. Teachers appreciate the gifts from their students, but I know many teachers who spend their own money on classroom needs. Please suggest that students consider giving teachers a gift card to places that offer school supplies and also for coffee shops, microwave soups and other consumables.

Similarly, our senior citizens could benefit from practical items like store and restaurant gift cards, postage stamps, etc. They do not need any more knickknacks to gather dust. -- J.M. Dear J.M.: You have made some excellent, sensible suggestions, and we hope those who are giving holiday gifts to teachers and seniors will keep them in mind.

Dear Annie: I felt a need to respond to “Enough,” the 57-year-old male who has been divorced for 26 years and hasn’t dated for the past three. He is adamant that he will date only women he finds physically attractive (translation: not fat), but his family feels he is cutting himself off from meeting some very nice women.

I am a 52-year-old female, divorced for two years and built like a plus-size model. I am intelligent, witty, neat, well-dressed, make a decent living and am told I am pretty. I had one blind date with a man I met through an online dating service. We had emailed each other for a week and chatted on the phone several times. I figured we had had such great conversations that my looks wouldn’t matter. I was wrong. He said there was no “spark.” I then tried to hire a professional matchmaker, and when I described myself as “Rubenesque,” she said she has a hard time finding men among her clientele willing to date women who wear a size larger than 12.

While I have no interest in a man who would summarily dismiss me as a potential date solely based on my size, I am beginning to wonder where all the real men are.

There have to be some decent guys out there who are not so shallow and ignorant. So far they appear to be pretty scarce. -- Plus-Sized Good Catch Dear Catch: In all fairness, being attracted to someone is not insignificant. But just as beautiful people can seem ugly if they have rotten personalities, a person of any size can become attractive by discovering a kind, warm, funny, intelligent human being inside. The problem is, few people are willing to let those relationships blossom, giving outward appearance more “weight” than it deserves.

Dear Readers: Happy Halloween. Please dress your trick-or-treaters in flame-retardant costumes that don’t obstruct walking or vision, and be sure to accompany them.

In Memoriam CHRIS A MAKELKI (Oct 13, 1933 - Oct 28, 2011) Chris passed away 1 year ago in White Rock BC, after battling Dementia, surrounded by his daughter Diane (& Brian), son Brent (& Donna), plus Grandaughters; Kayli, Elyse, Cheyanne and Breena. Chris was predeceased by his wife Phyllis in 2004. Chris moved his family to Cranbrook in 1972 from Nelson (formerly Saskatoon SK) and worked as a heavy duty mechanic. He always joked about â&#x20AC;&#x153;just pulling wrenchesâ&#x20AC;? but he was highly skilled and admired for his abilities. Chris had many great friends and co-workers in Cranbrook and valued meeting the boys for coffee after retirement. Chris and Phyllis moved to Chilliwack in 1996 and made some new friends but the ones in Cranbrook were very dear to their hearts. Both Chris and Phyillis were layed to rest together at the Sunneyside Cemetery in South Surrey BC close to family.

YOUR AD in the BULLETIN has staying power. has selling power!

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them.

That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
