An over 20 year process has reached a milestone this week as Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Bill Bennett announced Tuesday that Cabinet has approved the incorporation of Jumbo as a mountain resort municipality.

The Regional District of East Kootenay requested that the B.C. government incorporate Jumbo as a mountain resort municipality in 2009, after a very close vote.

Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, representative for the riding in which the new municipality has been created, calls the designation a slap in the face for Kootenay residents.

Ho Ho Ho - Not Much Longer to Go!

The popularity of the violin more than likely took a great leap upward after Monday night’s performance by Lindsey Stirling.

The so-called “Hip Hop violinist” put on a boundary-stretching display of dance and music, with her signature dub-step style, which combined with her classical expertise showed young violinists (and older ones too) in attendence that the instrument’s capabilities are limitless.

Stirling, originally from Los Angeles, appeared in Cranbrook — one of her first ever Canadian appearances — at the invitation of the Cranbrook Violin Club and Aspire Dance Academy. According to

MC Kim Lutz she whole-heartedly agreed to make the stop in support of the local clubs.

The evening started with an appearence by member of the Cranbrook Violin Club, whom Stirling joined onstage to kick off the evening. Stirling’s performance featured music from her eponymous debut album, including “Electric Daisy Violin,” “Song of the Caged Bird,” “Transcendence,” and novel renditions of medleys from “Lord of the Rings” and “Phantom of the Opera.”

Stirling was also joined on-stage by members of the Aspire Dance Academy, who performed choreography to “Song of the Caged Bird.”

The evening was the Key City Theatre’s second in a row of performers taking traditional forms into bold territory. Sunday evening featured Grammy award-winning banjo virtuoso Alison Brown and her bluegrass/jazz fusion quartet.

The Cranbrook Violin Club was founded in 2010 to make music more accessible to families with young children. Last year it was opened up to all elementary students in Cranbrook, and is currently comprised of some 80 participants.

Aspire offers professional dance instruction to students aged two and up. Valerie Potorti was choreographer for Monday evening’s performance.

RCMP award members of Southeast District Members awarded for longevity and distinguished service Annalee Grant Townsman Staff

There is perhaps no finer display of Canadiana than the RCMP red serge uniform, and it was on prominent display at the St. Eugene Mission Resort on November 19.

The Southeast District Queen’s Jubilee Medals and Long Service Awards Ceremony was held with Chief Superintendent Mike Sekela, district commander of the Southeast District, bestowing awards and honours upon outstanding members of the police force in the region. The ceremony began with a parade of the more than 40 members in their traditional uniforms.

Sgt. Laurie Jalbert, who has been the acting officer in charge of the Cranbrook and Kimberley detachments since Insp. Brian Edmondson retired earlier this year, was given the District Commander’s Certificate of Appreciation for her work in both detachments during the switch over to a new OIC. Jalbert is still the Acting OIC of the two detachments and will remain in the position until newlyappointed Inspector Blake MacLeod takes over as OIC of the Cranbrook detachment.

This year the officers were eligible for a special honour, the Queen’s Diamond jubilee medal.

The RCMP was given 2,300 medals to give out to worthy members, 136 for civilian members and 64 for auxiliary members. The Southeast

Sgt. Laurie Jalbert received a District Commander Certificate of Appreciation.

District awarded 17 medals to recognize the tremendous work done

by RCMP officers across the country.

Among them were many local RCMP officers, administration staff and auxiliary officers. The entire list reads as follows: CM Eric Ausman, Cst. Chuck Brind’ Amour, Cst. Wally Bursey, PSE Lena Guignion, PSE Chris Harland, Sgt. Rob Hawton, Cst. Jeremy Knight, Cst. Andy Reutgen, S/Sgt. Marko Shehovac, Cpl. Grant Simpson, Cst. Eldene Stanley, Cpl. Phil Sullivan, Cst. Jason Tait, Cpl. Monty Taylor, Cpl. Jeffrey Watson, A/Cst. Patrick Wiltsie and Cst. Jason Zilkie.

The members were also awarded with their Long Service Medals and clasps. Those awards were cre-

ated in 1934 by King George V to recognize long-serving members of the RCMP who demonstrate irreproachable character. The original medal handed out after 20 years of service is followed up by silver or bronze clasps in subsequent milestones in an officer’s career.

Earning their first for 20-years as a member of the RCMP were Sgt. Troy Durand, Cpl. Rodney Hrehirchuk, Cpl. Charlotte Joa, Sgt. Laurie Mathew, Insp. Nick Romanchuk and Cpl. Betty Watson.

There were five members up for their 25 year clasp. They were S/ Sgt. Lorne Craig, Sgt. Derrick Donovan, Cst. Don Erichsen, Cpl. Pat Prefontaine and Cst. David Smith.

After 30 years of service, the following received their clasp: Cpl. Kim Bloy, Insp. Brian Edmondson, S/Sgt. Bob Gollan, Cpl. Rob Haney, Cst. Irvin Miller, S/Sgt. Don Smawley and Sgt. Gerry Smith.

The final clasp was awarded for 35 years of service to Cpl. Chris Faulkner, Sgt. Darryl Little and S/ Sgt. Dan Seibel.

RCMP officers are also eligible for a 40 year silver and gold clasp, however none were handed out at Monday’s ceremony.

The final award of the ceremony was the District Commander Certificate of Appreciation. It was delivered to 12 recipients after their response to the Johnsons Landing landslide in July. The recipients were Cst. Dave Barnhart, Cst. Chuck Brind’Amour, Paddy Flanagan, Cst. David Hallmark, Sgt. Darryl Little, Cst. Colleen Lowing, Cst. Tim MacDonald, Cst. Jeff Roberts, S/Sgt. Dan Seibel, Bob Stair, Cpl. Michael Stefani and Cst. Brendon Vaillant.

A psychiatric assessment to determine whether admitted child abductor Randall Hopley will be named a dangerous offender is complete but the public will have to wait until the new year to hear its contents.

Hopley was taken into the custody of the Forensic Psychiatric Services Commission for 60 days on August 9 for a dangerous offender assessment. He has previously admitted to abducting threeyear-old Kienan Hebert from his Sparwood home in September, 2011. He eventually returned the boy unharmed to the home and was arrested in Crowsnest Pass, Alta. on Sept 13, 2011 following a manhunt.

In BC Supreme Court in Cranbrook on November 19, Justice Heather Holmes was informed that more time was needed to study the new report before the sentencing hearing could proceed.

Counsel for Hopley, William Thorne and Crown counsel Lynal Doerksen advised that they had just received the report on the morning of November 19. It was dated November 4.

Justice Holmes told court that

she was aware there had been a delay in the report being completed, noting the date on the copy she received.

Thorne, who appeared via telephone, said he had seen the report but could not give any instructions without a more thorough examination. All three parties agreed that the matter should go over to January 14, 2013 to fix a date to continue the sentencing hearing.

Thorne said he would need to receive further instruction from his client, and suggested Hopley may direct him to ask for an independent review of the report’s findings.

Doerksen said the Crown would not be seeking any more expert testimony for the sentencing hearing that began in July.

Justice Holmes asked Thorne if a two-month interruption in the matter could be shortened. Thorne said difficulties arise with the Hopley matter because he must seek permission to visit him at some facilities, prolonging the time it takes to receive instruction from his client.

He also said he expects when Hopley is sentenced that his time in custody will be included as time served, and that he expects an extensive sentence when it is handed down by Justice Holmes.

Thorne said that should his client request an independent review of the report’s findings, more time would be needed after the January 14 date to complete a new report.

Jumbo decision From Page 1 Phil Taylor will be the interim corporate officer, ensuring that the municipality is operational by its incorporation date of Feb. 19, 2013.

Bennett called the new resort a “game changer” for tourism in the province and announced $200,000 in initial start up funding including $60,000 to fund Taylor’s position.

He also said the proponent will be primarily responsible for the municipality’s start-up costs. Bennett later clarified and said the money being contributed by his ministry will go to cover legal and administrative costs of setting up such a municipality.

“The province always invests in the creation of a municipality,” he said.

“This is not unusual. This is what the province always does.”

After the $200,000 in funding is used up by the new council, Bennett said the province would look at the project but did not commit anymore funding.

“We would have to assess the situation when we get to the end of 2013,” he said.

Bennett said the province is willing to invest a small sum of $200,000 into a project that could eventually return

millions to a region that hasn’t been doing well economically in the past few years.

He said the order in council had been signed on November 19 ahead of the public announcement after the province determined a resort municipality would be the best form of governance for the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort.

Bennett cited previous municipalities created in the same way such as Whistler, Tumbler Ridge and most recently Sun Peaks.

“The mountain resort sets up a civic framework under which development can occur,” he said.

Bennett said the council that has been appointed was selected out of East Kootenay people and the search began three months ago under former Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Ida Chong.

The mayor and council terms will be complete on November 30, 2014 and elections are expected to occur when there is a stable population.

Bennett could not say what form the initial meetings would take, whether they would be open to the public or not or where they would take place.

During the Spirit of Kimberley evening, the Kimberley and District Community Foundation handed out grants to various community organizations. Receiving grants were Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy for Early Childhood Development Programs delivered locally by Strong Start and Treehouse, Cherry Creek Falls Park Fund to buy a 188 hectare mineral tenure

and create a regional park, Spark Youth Society for a concrete picnic table in the Platzl, MADD Canada Kimberley Chapter Ride 911 program and Success by Six for an early childhood educators learning event.

Kimberley’s non-profit organizations take stock For the Bulletin

Representatives of 33 local non-profit organizations gathered together last week for the Spirit of Kimberley networking and grant awards evening co-hosted by the Kimberley and District Community Foundation (KDCF) and College of the Rockies-Kimberley Campus, as supported by Columbia Basin Trust.

This unique evening provided an important opportunity to foster and strengthen connections within Kimberley’s non-profit community, laying valuable groundwork for new collaborations. Conversations focused on identifying common needs, challenges and opportunities, aspirations, and ideas for innovative joint projects. Those who at-

tended were unanimous in their appetite to build on the ideas and energy generated by this event.

Alpine Lotus Ecotherapy was the winner of The Kimberley Happiness Project’s $250 door prize.

“The Community Foundation is really excited by the overwhelmingly positive re-

sponse to this Spirit of Kimberley event and we will be looking closely at how we can keep the momentum going and growing,” says Foundation president Terry Oscarson. “Kimberley has a remarkable legacy when it comes to community volunteering and that’s something we would all like to see carried forward into the future.”

Reaction to Alleged carjacker facing new charges Jumbo decision swift and varied Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

From Page 1 “It’s exceedingly poor legislation to set up a community with a non-elected local government making land use decisions,” Macdonald said. “They are acting as a real elected government in a place that has no residents.

What Bill Bennett has done is give a group of BC Liberal insiders property rights.

“I’ve not spoken to anyone outside the BC Liberal party who thinks that this legislation makes sense. To create a town where there are no residents, to appoint a council that may never face election, and do this with no real possibility that a resort will be built is ridiculous.

But a small group of Jumbo supporters are getting their way on this one: transferring control of public lands into private hands.”

Macdonald particularly questions why the designation would be made when the developer has not been able to find an investor in over a decade.

“They do not have investors. What today’s decision does is simply imperil the taxpayers of British Columbia for no public good.”

However, BC Liberal candidate for this riding, Doug Clovechok says his guess is the proponent will move ahead fairly quickly.

“The process has got to the point now where the developer has all the opportunity to push it forward. The proponent has waited 20 years. My guess is now they won’t be sitting on their hands. My guess is they will proceed right away.

“If they don’t, the government has the ability to rescind the Resort Municipality status, based on performance.”

The environmental group Wildsight says it is nothing more than a land grab.

“A population of zero and a Council of three.

This decision flies in the face of democratic landuse decisions, overwhelming public opposition, grizzly bear science, First Nations spiritual claims and opposi-

“The proponent has waited 20 years. My guess is now they won’t be sitting on their hands.

My guess is they will proceed right away. tion from the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM),” said Robyn Duncan, Program Manager.

Duncan points out that even the Union of BC Municipalities resolved in September 2012 that municipalities should have an elected Mayor and Council and have a permanent population of at least 200.

However, Clovechok bristles at the suggestion that the process was undemocratic.

“This whole process is democratic. The local government, the RDEK, voted on it — that a Resort Municipality should be in the hands of the province. The Opposition and Norm Macdonald had the opportunity in the Legislature to express their views. They lost.

“People have to understand it was a democratic process, despite what the NDP is saying.”

Macdonald says that the RDEK board was very divided.

“We all know the arm twisting and deal making that went on with that decision,” he said. “The people of the Columbia Valley were always clear about their thoughts on Jumbo.

There are proper ways

“They do not have investors.

What today’s decision does is simply imperil the taxpayers of British Columbia for no public good”

When I was Mayor of Golden we had a referendum on the Kicking Horse development.

“This is just a recipe for more conflict and will cost the taxpayers money. Bill Bennett has put so much political capital in this. It’s a political loser. There is something I just don’t understand. There are pieces missing. I just don’t get it.”

Clovechok says this is an opportunity to have an iconic international resort in this region.

“I look forward to being the MLA who cuts the ribbon,” he said.

The B.C. Chamber of Commerce supports the decision.

“It is good to see BC sending a clear signal that economically critical projects can ultimately be dealt with through an expeditious and balanced process, and I very much hope that this becomes the start of a trend,” said President John Winter.

The Jumbo Creek Conservation Society says that the provincial government has created a banana republic in the Jumbo Valley.

The pair charged in the alleged carjacking incident in early October were brought before Cranbrook Provincial Court on November 19.

Nicholas Bullock and an unnamed youth appeared separately Monday, Bullock via video from a correctional institute and the youth through counsel.

Judge Grant Sheard advised Bullock that his charges had been changed and nine new charges have been laid against him relating to the incident on October 2.

Bullock was previously charged with robbery, possession of stolen property over $5,000, assault with a weapon, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.

Those charges remain on the record, but Sheard read out nine new charges Bullock is now facing. They are three counts of robbery, possession of stolen property over $5,000, two counts of assault with a weapon, possessing weapon for dangerous purpose, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and flight from a

peace officer.

In addition, Bullock now faces three counts of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. Sheard told court that those charges stem from October 6, and October 5, just days after Bullock was taken into custody following a police-involved shooting in Cranbrook city limits.

Those 11 charges were on the docket Monday for a first appearance.

Finally, Bullock is facing charges in Port Coquitlam from September 13 of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of a prohibited weapon without a license, possession of a firearm contrary to order, and breach of a probation order. He is also charged in New Westminster with uttering threats dated December 2011. Those

charges were again on the docket in Cranbrook Monday.

At his previous court date on November 5, Bullock told court he would like to have all his charges waived to Port Coquitlam. He again reiterated that request at his November 19 date.

He was advised by Rick Strahl, who is acting as duty counsel for Bullock but has not been retained on the matter, that the Crown is unwilling to have the charges sent to the coastal city due to their nature. Lynal Doerksen, the Crown counsel assigned to the matter was not present in court.

Bullock told court he had not spoken to his counsel since his last court date on November 5. All of Bullock’s matters were put over to December 3 to allow him time

to speak with counsel.

The 17-year-old youth charged in connection with the carjacking did not appear in court, but her counsel Greg Sawchuk asked on her behalf that a Crown application for a warrant be struck. The youth, who cannot be named under Canada’s Youth Criminal Justice Act, is charged with possession of stolen property.

Sawchuk said the youth would also like to have the charges waived to Port Coquitlam where she is in the custody of her mother.

Sawchuk said he had been advised by the Crown that more charges may be coming against the youth and asked that the matter be put over to December 3 for an arraignment hearing.

Facebook just looking for a little loving

A

lot of people think Facebook has friends. Take for example, Facebook’s grown to the point where it’s scary; newest innovation, the couples pages.

Like all changes to the Facebook interwhere it’s an all-encompassing, looming shadow behind everything we do face, Facebook didn’t bother to tell us it on the Internet; that it wants to track where was creating couple pages, it just went we go to do what we do and when we do it. ahead and presumed that we wanted It wants to listen in on our cellphones, them.

Reaction was instant, and for the most on their office computer because Facebook can be checked from your phone, part, negative. People found it creepy, where your boss can’t track what you’re and even worse schmaltzy. Here’s one doing — unless you work for Facebook. comment: “I did not ask for this ‘couples’ timeline Facebook knows what everyone is doing.

I think Facebook is just a sucker for most tasteless and intrusive sort. I object romance. Facebook wants everyone to be to having it foisted on me and I particu-

larly object to the fact that I cannot delete the drivel you have decided to put on it — I have no edit option on my page.

“I wonder if you get some kind of a weird kick out of irritating so many of your ‘customers’ and putting their private lives on show the way you do. It’s a completely useless thing.”

But, Mr. Anonymous Internet Poster, there is one thing you have forgotten — Facebook knows what you want better than you. Just calm down, this won’t hurt a bit.

Facebook just wants everyone to love, to be happy, and to continue to lay their lives out for the world to observe.

Now this does beg the question of what happens when your relationship ends. Is it as simple as just changing your relationship status? Or will the page continue to exist out there on the web, a reminder of days gone by?

You can ignore it. But then there is that pesky problem of mutual friends. You know how Facebook always suggests friends because you know mutual people? I do. Facebook is dying for me to be friends with my ex-husband. It suggests it several times a month. Not that we are not completely civil and friendly, but I don’t want to be Facebook friends with my ex. It might create a couples page for us and that would just be awkward.

Meaghan Smith

It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas …

Showcasing up and coming artists is an important part of building an exciting lineup at the Key City Theatre. Meaghan Smith is no exception when it comes to vibrant Canadian talent.

Meaghan Smith is a singer. She has always been a singer. “I feel like I was born into it. I have a very musical family— my mom is a piano teacher and my dad played bass in a rock band when he was younger.

There was always music around, whether it was coming from the piano, from my sisters practicing their instruments, or from the radio.”

While her independently-recorded debut album, The Cricket’s Orchestra was released in 2010, she received a great deal of exposure by contributing a cover of alternative rock group Pixies’ “Here Comes Your Man” to the soundtrack of 2009’s (500) Days of Summer, featuring her playing an Omnichord.At the Juno Awards of 2011, she won Best New Artist.

Her style is referred to as “modern vintage,” with influences from the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40’s.” It has been described as if Bjork worked with K.D. Lang and Doris Day. Meaghan is currently touring her latest release “It Snowed”, bringing her love of the Holidays to Cranbrook. This album was inspired by Meaghan’s love of the season.

“There’s something about long dark winter nights contrasted with brilliantly sparkling snowy days, or freezing winter air and the comforting heat of an inviting fire. People are thinking of each other, buying gifts for one another or just getting together. It’s the traditions, the food, the friends, the family, the lights and the music that I love. I want to be a part of the joy in people’s holidays.”

Meaghan will be delighting the audience with an eclectic holiday collection of songs, some original and some standard favorites. She will be performing at the Key City Theatre on December 2 at 7:30. Tickets are available at Key City Theatre Box Office or by calling 250-426-7006.

NCAA LACROSSE

MONTREAL - Nick Saturnino’s first victory stopped the hometown favourite from running away with the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship.

Saturnino scored three in the fifth end and another four in the 10th as the Northwest Territories beat Quebec’s Mike Fournier 11-6 on Tuesday.

Fournier (6-1) had been cruising atop the round robin before running into Saturnino (1-5), who moved out of the cellar he was sharing with Steve Fecteau’s Yukon club.

Fecteau dropped to 0-7 in the 10th draw with a 10-5 loss to B.C. skip Tom Buchy (3-3).

Nova Scotia’s Brent MacDougall beat Jeff Hartung’s Saskatchewan rink 8-3. That moves MacDougall (5-2) ahead of Hartung (4-2) for third in the standings behind Fournier and Ontario’s Cory Heggestad (5-1).

In the other late match, Robert Campbell of P.E.I. improved to 3-4 with an 8-6 victory over Manitoba’s Terry McNamee (2-4).

David Beckham mum on future plans after leaving MLS’ Galaxy CARSON, Calif. - David Beckham says he has several enticing offers to continue his football career after he leaves the Los Angeles Galaxy next month.

The English midfielder wasn’t specific on Tuesday about where his 20-year professional career will take him next. But Beckham says he’s leaving Los Angeles only because he reached every goal he set for himself in the U.S. Beckham discussed his future in oblique terms while insisting his focus is on the MLS Cup on Dec. 1, when the Galaxy will attempt to win their second straight league title.

Worldwide speculation has linked Beckham to moves to Australia, China, Britain and France. Beckham only confirmed he won’t move to New York or another MLS team.

Beckham also reaffirmed his interest in owning an MLS team soon.

MAKING IT OFFICIAL: Tanner Rennich, left and Dakota Hollister, right, made it official on Monday night as they both signed their letters of intent to play lacrosse at their respective NCAA schools in the U.S. next year.

Lacrosse players commit to NCAA schools TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It’s official—two Cranbrook lacrosse players signed the dotted line on Monday night to commit the next four years of their lives to NCAA competition at their respective universities.

Tanner Rennich and Dakota Hollister put their signature to their letters of intent during a celebration at East Side Mario’s on Monday evening. Rennich has committed to Robert Morris University, near Pittsburgh, Pa, while Hollister is off to Bellarmine University in Louisville, Ky. Surrounded by family, friends and coaches, it was a relaxed atmo-

sphere in the restaurant as the two sat down to put down their signatures.

“It’s a sigh of relief,” said Rennich, on how he felt when he penned his name. “I’ve been working on this for so long and it’s finally all coming together. I’m just really excited for the whole experience—it’s going to be pretty cool.”

Rennich signed with Robert Morris University, after considering offers from Fairfield University in New England and Villanova University near Philadelphia.

Robert Morris had the right degree program he wants to pursue—mechanical engineering—and the lacrosse program is very

strong, Rennich said.

“I watched two of their practices and it seems like their program is a really upbeat program and they don’t want to waste any time in practice, they want to learn as much as they can in practice and they value their time a lot around with the coaches.

“It’s pretty intense.”

Rennich is taking a break from high-level lacrosse until the new year, where he will head down to Port Coquitlam and play Jr. A with the Saints.

Hollister, who had many other offers from other colleges and universities, chose Bellarmine after weighing options from Rochester

Institute of Technology and Dartmouth.

“I knew I was going to sign it—I verbally committed, but now it feels different, knowing that I’ve actually signed it now,” said Hollister. “…I only went on one visit, and that was to Bellarmine, and I committed [verbally] a few weeks later.”

He’s planning to study business administration while playing Division I NCAA lacrosse with the Bellarmine Knights.

It was the atmosphere around the team, good coaching staff and a few Canadian connections that tilted the scales, said Hollister.

“I wanted some-

where where I wouldn’t get homesick right away or feel out of place,” said Hollister. “There are quite a few of the guys from Canada and there are quite a few kids committing from my year in Canada.”

Hollister has been down in the U.S. over the last couple weekends, playing with toplevel high school lacrosse players. He won a tournament in Naples, Fl., playing with the Adrenaline Tropics.

The 2013 NCAA schedule is not out yet, however, Robert Morris and Bellarmine met last February, so it’s safe to assume Hollister and Rennich will play against each other at some point in 2014.

University of Guelph to house Hamilton Tiger-Cats C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will play CFL home games next season at the University of Guelph while their new stadium is being built, says team president Scott Mitchell.

The university stadium only has 7,500 seats currently and Mitchell

couldn’t say yet exactly how many might be added next year. But he insisted there should be enough to accommodate all season-ticket holders in some fashion.

“We’re working with the university right now to get to that final detail,” he said Tuesday.

“I think any facility

we were looking at, obviously, for 2013 was going to require some temporary facilities and infrastructure.”

A new 24,000-seat field is built on the site of Ivor Wynne Stadium, the team’s home for the past 84 years. The new stadium will also be used as a soccer venue for the 2015 Pan Ameri-

can Games.

Ivor Wynne had a capacity of 29,600.

Guelph is about a 45-minute drive from Hamilton but it is also an area where the Ticats have been looking to raise their profile.

“We’re really focused on two things, one is to provide a solution to all our season ticket hold-

ers, this will clearly do that, as well as enable a lot of new fans in Guelph and around the region to get to some games and . . . this accomplishes both,” Mitchell said.

Mitchell wouldn’t say exactly how many season-ticket holders they have but added that they expect most will renew for 2013.

NHLPA expected to deliver new collective bargaining proposal Chris Johnston Canadian Press

NEW YORK - The ball is back in the hands of the NHL Players’ Association.

With collective bargaining talks set to resume at the NHL head office on Wednesday morning, the union is expected to table a new proposal. It comes on the heels of a 90-minute meeting on Monday evening where the league asked NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr to put together a comprehensive offer that includes how to split revenue and rules governing player contracts.

“We’ve never heard a full proposal from them,” said deputy commissioner Bill Daly. “We’ve heard their proposal on economics, they’re still suggesting that they’re moving in our direction on economics.

Until we know exactly where they stand on economics ... we think it’s all tied together.

“We’d like to hear it all together.”

The meeting on Wednesday comes at the same time the league is expected to cancel more games.

According to sources, the NHL has decided to wipe the first two weeks of December off

the schedule, which will bring the total lost during the lockout to more than 400 games.

In addition to revenue split and player contract rules, the sides need to work out how to pay for the damage caused by the lockout. In the NHLPA’s most recent offer, which was tabled Nov. 7, the union asked for the players’ share of revenues to jump in fixed increments of 1.75 per cent each season starting from the $1.883-billion they took in last year.

That proposal didn’t include the mechanism that would be used to account for the reduced revenue generated during a shortened 2012-13 season.

The NHL would pre-

fer a proposal based on a percentage of annual revenue.

“If their proposal continues to be a guaranteed player amount, sitting here on Nov. 19, that’s not a proposal that would ever be acceptable to us,” said Daly. “If that happens to be where we are, we will be a long way apart.”

The league and union must also find agreement on contract rules. The NHL would like to see entry-level contracts reduced to two years, unrestricted free agency pushed back to age 28 or eight years of service and all deals limited to five years maximum.

So far, the union has only shown a willingness to make system

changes that would discourage teams from signing players to longterm, back-diving contracts.

Now in its 10th week, the lockout has already cost the players three paycheques and the league millions in lost revenue. The sides considered taking a break from negotiations last week, but the NHLPA urged the league to continue meeting.

“It’s hard for me to see how you make an agreement if you aren’t talking and so you talk,” said Fehr. “Sometimes it doesn’t lead anywhere, perhaps very often it doesn’t lead anywhere, but if you aren’t talking it’s 100 per cent sure it doesn’t lead anywhere.”

Kraft cancels Hockeyville program due to NHL lockout C anadian Press

TORONTO - Kraft Canada is cancelling its Hockeyville program this year due to the NHL lockout.

The company is going to instead give $1 million to Hockey Canada affiliated minor hockey associations.

Kraft’s Hockeyville program is an annual

competition that rewards Canadian communities for their involvement in their local arenas.

St i r l i n g - R aw d o n , Ont., was this year’s winner and was to host a pre-season game before the lockout. That game has been postponed to the 2013-14 season.

Under the new program, Kraft will recognize the top five volunteers and award their hockey associations with $100,000, while 20 other volunteers will win $20,000 for their associations.

Kraft will also give $100,000 to Hockey Canada for learn-toskate programs.

The Canadian Hockey League today announced that Mackenzie Skapski of the Kootenay Ice is the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending November 18 after posting a 3-0-0-0 record with two shutouts for a goals-against-average of 1.00 and save percentage of .964.

Skapski has been solid between the pipes over the last three games, shutting out the Hitmen last Monday 4-0 by making 17 stops in Calgary. He then had a stellar weekend in a home series with the Brandon Wheat Kings, making 32 saves on Friday as part of a 5-3 win, while posting his second shutout in three games on Saturday,

turning away 31 shots in a 4-0 victory.

“I’m having fun. I came into Calgary’s game and I started having a little bit of fun and it’s amazing when you have fun how far it goes.”

Mackenzie Skapski Skapski, who seemed to struggle a bit in the beginning of the season, has found his footing

while the team in front of him has sharpened its defensive play as well.

“I’m having fun,” said Skapski, after Saturday’s game against the Wheat Kings. “I came into Calgary’s game and I started to have a little bit of fun and it’s amazing when you have fun how far it goes.”

Skapski, 18, is playing in his second WHL season with the Kootenay Ice, after making 19 appearances in the crease last year as a backup to Nathan Lieuwen.

Tonight: Do your thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don’t hold back, even if you feel like you don’t have enough clout to speak up.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Take a stand and carefully consider what you hear. Even if you feel 100 percent correct now, others might not feel the same. You can handle a lot of pressure, and you will find a way that lets both you and someone else be right. Tonight: Go with a friend’s suggestion.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I was married to my husband for 31 years. Two years ago, he was killed in an accident. I loved him to the moon and back and miss him terribly.

Eight months later, my daughter introduced me to a nice gentleman. He is a sweet man, and we have been seeing each other ever since. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law is upset and bitter because of it. She thinks I did not wait long enough after my husband’s death. What gets me is that one of her daughters just left her husband a couple of months ago, is not yet divorced and already has a boyfriend moving in with her. That doesn’t seem to bother my mother-in-law.

I love my in-laws, but they have to realize that my path in life is changing, and I have to do what is right for me. How do I get my mother-in-law to understand?

Do I just leave it alone and live my life? -Confused Daughter-in-Law Dear Confused: Parents grieve in their own way, and the loss of a child is different from that of a spouse. No amount of mourning would be “long enough” for your mother-in-law. But it is unrealistic and unfair for her to expect you to remain alone indefinitely. Try to bring your in-laws into your new life. Tell them how much you love them and how you will never stop loving their son, but you don’t think he would want you to be alone. Explain that you hope they will always be part of your life. Introduce them to your new man. Be gentle and compassionate, but don’t let them dictate your future.

Dear Annie: While waiting in a line at a deli, a young girl ahead of me was dressed in today’s typical tight, skimpy shorts. She was leaning against the deli case, and I noticed she had a sizable tattoo just above her very clearly exposed rear cleavage.

Naturally, I glanced at it briefly and read what it said. I did not gawk or ogle. It was simply normal curiosity.

I was cautioned by a friend who warned me that doing so could be considered sexual harassment. My argument is that when someone essentially has a billboard on their butt, it’s an invitation for others to peruse it. To me, people who have multiple exposed tattoos should expect others to look them over. What’s your take on this? -- A Guy in Virginia Dear Guy: In most instances, body art is intended to be noticed. Discreet glancing is fine. Ogling is not. Staring, making comments, whistling, smacking your lips or touching the other person are definite no-nos. You can look, but do so respectfully.

Dear Annie: “New Sibling” discovered that he had a half-brother and wanted to know whether it was too late to form a relationship over his father’s objections.

After my mother died, I found out at age 42 that I was a child from a first marriage. My stepdad adopted me and changed my name to his. I went on a search and found half-brothers from my biological father’s other marriages. One half-brother thought it was terrible that I was searching, but another of my halfbrothers, only five months younger, was thrilled to have a new sister. We have a wonderful relationship.

So, it’s never too late. And I agree with your advice that this is not Dad’s decision.

Yes, I’m angry that my birth information was hidden from me and that I never had the opportunity to meet my biological father. My new half-brother and I have often wondered whether any of the wives knew about the others. I have one more brother we haven’t found, and I’m guessing he was also adopted and had his name changed. -- California Sister Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Activists say B.C. could rake in billions if pot was legal C anadian Press

VANCOUVER — A new study has rung in British Columbians’ pot purchases at about half a billion dollars each year, and its prolegalization researchers argue that means the province could be bringing in massive tax revenues.

Researchers from the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University sought to quantify the retail value of marijuana sold on the black market.

They looked at the price of marijuana and research that suggests more than 366,000 people in B.C. use pot to estimate the pot industry is worth between $443 million and $564 million a year.

The researchers also point to data from Washington State, which recently held a successful referendum to legalize pot, that suggests the same number of pot smokers

in that state could bring in $2.5 billion in taxes over five years in a regulated system.

They say the revenues could be used to fund addictions programs and health care, similar to the new system set to be rolled out in Washington and Colorado, where the public recently voted to legalize the drug.

Lead author Dan Werb says regulation is tricky, but replacing drug pushers with the government would allow for far more control over prices and who has access to the product.

Werb and the other researchers are members of the pro-pot Stop the Violence B.C. coalition, which advocates for changes to drug policies designed to take the business of marijuana away from violent organized crime groups and reduce overall use.

Rescue group finds sanctuary for feral rabbits being killed in Alberta town C anadian Press

CANMORE, Alta. — Animal rescuers have found sanctuary for some feral rabbits being killed in an Alberta mountain town but the group says it’s unlikely that all the bunnies can be saved.

The community of Canmore recently started trapping and killing the long-eared lopers to curb their out-of-control population.

Susan Vickery with the Earth Animal Rescue Society says a couple with a farm northwest of Calgary is willing to take in as many as 50 rabbits. ``They’ve had a lot of dealings with rabbits themselves over the years,’’ Vickery said Tuesday. ``They enjoy them. They know their nature. ``And they respect their right to live.’’

The B.C.-based group helped avoid a mass extermination of

Canmore’s rabbits last year when it found refuge homes for 213.

But their numbers have continued to grow and last month the town started getting rid of them.

Town spokeswoman Sally Caudill said she doesn’t know how many have been killed so far. But she emphasized they are being humanely destroyed.

She said the town will probably accept the latest offer to send some rabbits to the couple’s farm and is willing to work with anyone who wants to take them.

But even if there are more offers, the rabbit population is so big the town must continue with its pest control plan, Caudill said. ``We’ll work with any sanctuary that comes forward. Then we’ll continue on with the program,’’ she said. ``Our program has not changed at all and it will not change.’’

Rita Cimolai was born on July 31, 1931 in Mirano, Venice, Italy and passed away peacefully, with her children and grandchildren by her side, on November 14, 2012 at Kelowna General Hospital. She is survived by her daughter, Lucy; her sons, Roy (Lesley) and Dario; and her grandchildren, Lena and Dante. She is also survived by her sisters, Lina and Maria of Italy; sisters-in-law, Lucina Buttignol and Norma Buttignol of Kimberley, B.C.; and nieces and nephews in Canada, France and Italy.

Rita is predeceased by her husband, Livio; her parents, Luigi and Angela Buttignol; her sisters, Giuseppina, Agatha, and Ada; and her brothers, Vladimiro and Umberto.

The youngest of 7 children, Rita grew up in Vigonovo, Pordenone, Italy, where she met Livio. They married in 1951 and a few years later they and their young daughter immigrated to Canada, arriving in Kimberley on November 14, 1955. Their 2 sons were born in Kimberley where Rita and Livio enjoyed raising their children and found happiness in their faith, hard work, good friends and neighboursâ&#x20AC;Ś and always a great garden. Rita treasured her husband, children, grandchildren, relatives and friends, and she was a very kind and generous woman to all who knew her.

The family extends its gratitude to East Kootenay Regional Hospital and the Cardiac Care Unit in Kelowna General Hospital for the care and attention they devoted to Rita. They are also very grateful to all of her dear friends who were there for her during difficult times in the past few years of her life.

Funeral Services will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, November 24, 2012 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Kimberley, B.C. A private interment will take place at a later date. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in honour of Rita may do so to a charity of their choice.

Wanted: A Beancounter with Attitude Good attitude, that is!

You hold an accounting designation (or very close to it or equivalent experience), but your friends and coworkers don’t really think of you as an “accountant”. You know your numbers instinctively, but are keenly interested in being a part of the business’ operations. You always take personal pride in the quality of the information you produce and you can effectively keep many balls in the air at one time in a busy, multi-organization entity.

Those are the critical success factors for the Group Controller that will join our team – along with a great sense of humor and the ability to laugh at yourself. You are an accountant, after all.

We are a group of companies located in the Invermere area that includes Windermere Water & Sewer, Parr Utilities Ltd. and Point Developments. We are involved in everything from water and sewer utilities to residential and commercial land development and every day puts a different challenge on the desk.

Your attention to detail and passion for doing things right the first time is what differentiates you from others. In addition, you will be fluent in a fully computerized environment, willing to dive into research whenever required and be knowledgeable of and up to date on current financial reporting standards in a private company environment. If you’re interested in being part of our team, please get that resume into our hands. This is a permanent part-time role with significant flexibility, but requires a commitment to meeting the deadlines related to our businesses. hr@windermerewater.com

Hamas militants publicly kill six suspected informers for Israel ASSOCIATED PRESS

AP Photo/Yui Mok, Pool

Dr. Paula Gooder, centre back, reacts as the outgoing Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, right, speaks after draft legislation to introduce the first women bishops in the Church of England failed to receive final approval from the General Synod, at Church House in central London, Tuesday, Nov. 20, 2012.

Church of England blocks move to approve female bishops ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — The Church of England’s governing body blocked a move Tuesday to permit women to serve as bishops in a vote so close it failed to settle the question of female leadership and likely condemned the institution to years more debate on the issue.

The General Synod’s daylong debate ended with the rejection of a compromise that was intended to unify the faithful despite differing views on whether women should be allowed in the hierarchy. But backers failed to gain the necessary majority by six votes.

The defeat was a setback for Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, who retires at the end of December, and his successor, Bishop Justin Welby. Both had strongly endorsed a proposed compromise that would have respected the decision of those who objected to the ordination of women bishops.

Instead of ending decades of debate on the issue in the church, the narrow defeat opens the church, which has around 80 million members worldwide, to further years of internal discussions. It also forms an uncomfortable backdrop to the start of Welby’s leadership. He is due to be enthroned in March.

Passage of legislation to allow women to serve as bishops must be approved by two-thirds majorities in the synod’s three houses: bishops,

priests and laity. Some took heart in the fact that both the bishops and the clergy voted overwhelmingly in favour. But among the laity, the vote fell short, with 132-74.

“This leaves us with a problem,’’ said Bishop Graham James of Norwich. “Forty-two out of 44 dioceses approved the legislation and more than three-quarters of members of diocesan synods voted in favour.

“There will be many who wonder why the General Synod expressed its mind so differently,’’ James added.

It has been 36 years since the General Synod declared it had no fundamental objection to ordaining women as priests, and 18 years since the first women were ordained. But that change never won universal acceptance in the church, with a determined minority arguing that that the move was contrary to the Bible.

That group, affirming what it sees as the Biblical idea of male “headship,’’ has demanded special arrangements to shield it from supervision by female bishops.

Synod members were voting on the latest compromise. It called for church leaders to “respect’’ the position of parishes that oppose female bishops — without saying what “respect’’ would mean in practice.

“The trouble is our disagreement is absolute: either a woman can be a bishop, or she cannot,’’ said Rev. Janet Appleby, a parish priest who drafted the compromise.

Masked gunmen publicly shot dead six suspected collaborators with Israel at a large Gaza City intersection Tuesday, witnesses said.

An Associated Press reporter saw a mob surrounding five of the bloodied corpses shortly after the killing.

Some in the crowd stomped and spit on the bodies. A sixth corpse was tied to a motorcycle and dragged through the streets as people screamed, “Spy! Spy!’’ The Hamas military wing, Izzedine al-Qassam, claimed responsibility in a large handwritten note attached to a nearby electricity pole. Hamas said the six were killed because they gave Israel information about fighters and rocket launching sites.

Hamas did not provide any proof of the alleged collaboration.

The killing came on the seventh day of an Israeli military offensive that has killed more than 130 Palestinians, both militants and civilians, as well as five Israelis. Israel has launched hundreds

of airstrikes, targeting rocketlaunching sites, weapons caches and homes of Hamas activists, in response to hundreds of Palestinian rockets that have rained down on Israel in the past week.

In selecting its targets for airstrikes, Israel relies on unmanned spy planes, or drones, but also on a network of Palestinian collaborators who feed information to their handlers from Israel’s domestic Shin Bet security service.

Israeli defence officials say Palestinian informers have been recruited ever since it captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast War. Some are recruited with promises of work permits or money, while others are blackmailed into collaborating.

There is broad consensus among Palestinians that informers for Israel deserve harsh punishment, and it is rare to hear someone speak out against killings of alleged collaborators.

Such public killings have been carried out in the West Bank and Gaza since the first intifada — or

uprising — against Israeli occupation in the late 1980s.

Tuesday’s killings took place in Gaza City’s Sheik Radwan neighbourhood.

Witnesses said a van stopped at the intersection, where four masked men pushed the six accused informers out of the vehicle. Salim Mahmoud, 18, said the gunmen ordered the six to lie face down in the street and then shot them dead. Another witness, 13-year-old Mokhmen al-Gazhali, said the informers were killed one by one, as he mimicked the sound of gunfire. They said the crowd quickly grew after the killings. Eventually several hundred men pushed and shoved to get a close look at the bodies.

During the current offensive, Tuesday’s killings brought to eight the number of suspected informers being shot dead in public. On Friday, the body of one alleged informer was found in a garbage bin, and another was shot dead in the street. Hamas claimed responsibility for both killings.

Scientists close to flipping switch on dark matter experiment deep in South Dakota gold mine Associated Press

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Scientists hoping to detect dark matter deep in a former South Dakota gold mine have taken the last major step before flipping the switch on their delicate experiment and say they may be ready to begin collecting data as early as February.

What’s regarded as the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector was lowered earlier this month into a 264,971 litre water tank 1.6 kilometres beneath the earth’s surface, shrouding it in enough insulation to hopefully isolate dark matter from the cosmic radiation that makes it impossible to detect above ground.

And if all goes as planned, the data that begins flowing could answer age-old questions about the universe and its origins, scientists said Monday.

“We might well uncover something fantastic,’’ said Harry Nelson, a professor of physics at University of California, Santa Barbara and a principal investigator on the Large Underground Xenon experi-

AP Photo/Courtesy Sanford Lab, Matt Kapust

In this Oct. 16, 2012 photo provided by Sanford Lab University of California, Davis, physicist Jeremy Mock inspects the Large Underground Xenon experiment detector, cylinder at centre, that has now been lowered into its 70,000-gallon home in a water tank a mile beneath the earth’s surface in a shuttered gold mine in Lead, S.D. ment.

Scientists know dark matter exists by its gravitational pull but, unlike regular matter and anti-

matter, it’s so far been undetectable.

Regular matter accounts for about 4 per cent of the universe’s

mass, and dark matter makes up about 25 per cent. The rest is dark energy, which is also a mystery.
