Ktunaxa remain firmly opposed

Ktunaxa disappointed in Resort Muncipality designation Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

The Ktunaxa Nation remains steadfast in their opposition after the Jumbo Glacier Resort was granted resort municipality status Tuesday.

Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation chair, said the nation will gather on November 30 at their new government headquarters to rally for Qat’muk, the home of the Grizzly Bear Spirit, as nation members launch their application for judicial review of the Jumbo Glacier Resort master development plan (MDP) in Vancouver. Teneese will be in Vancouver to deliver the application and the Ktunaxa are expected to make a statement as they file the application in B.C. Supreme Court.

Grade eight students from Selkirk Secondary School in Kimberley spent a day travelling around the community and area in order to learn first-hand where their water comes from, where it goes after it’s used and how important it is to look after water and keep watersheds healthy. The field trip was part of Know Your Watershed, a water stewardship program developed by Columbia Basin Trust and local environmental educators. To learn more, visit www.cbt.org/waterstewardship.

“That is going to change. It is going to be 30 kilometres an

hour in all school zones. All of us are going to have to be very careful in all of the school zones in the city because this is a pretty big change.”

What’s more, Cranbrook RCMP have indicated they will be patrolling the roads near the high school and middle schools once the 30 kilometres an hour signs are installed.

“A lot of us have got used to driving 50 kilometres an hour in school zones. That’s going to change and I think it’s a good thing. You have been warned,” said Warner.

Take care when driving past middle and high schools in Cranbrook.

City council just reduced the speed limit outside Laurie and Parkland Middle and Mount Baker Secondary schools from 50 kilometres an hour to 30 kilometres an hour.

Under provincial legislation, only elementary schools need to have a 30 kilometres an hour zone on roads adjacent to its grounds.

But Cranbrook city council decided on Monday, Novem-

ber 19 to reduce the speed limit to 30 kilometres an hour between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days outside Mount Baker, Parkland and Laurie.

Elementary schools Amy Woodland, Gordon Terrace, Highlands, Kootenay Orchards, Pinewood, Steeples and TM Roberts will continue to have 30 kilometre an hour zones in front of their properties from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days.

A pretty penny for pipes

Cranbrook has $107 million infrastructure deficit SALLY MACDONALD Townsman staff

Cranbrook’s roads are in such poor condition that the city would need to spend $59 million next year to bring the roadway system up to an acceptable condition.

On top of that, the city’s remaining infrastructure — including water, sewer, stormwater, buildings and so on — needs an investment of $48 million for it to be up to scratch, meaning the city has an infrastructure deficit of $107 million.

That figure is so unreachable that the city’s director of engineering Jamie Hodge says council may have to consider lowering levels of service — for instance, reducing water pressure, not having sidewalks, and cutting back on transit services.

“We are going to have to look at strategically reducing services and accepting fewer services from our authorities as time goes on,” Hodge told city council in a special presentation on Monday, November 21.

Unless Cranbrook takes action, parts of the city may become unlivable, he went on.

“It is going to take us a long time to deal with this deficit, make no doubt about it,” said Hodge. “If we don’t somehow or another get control of it, then I question whether Cranbrook will continue to be a

While Cranbrook owns infrastructure valued at $660,460,000, the city has a $106,655,000 backlog on maintenance, repair and renewal for its infrastructure.

Of that $107 million, $58,691,000 (55 per cent) needs to be spent on our roadway system.

The wastewater system needs $10,236,000 to be up to scratch, the water system requires $8,327,000, storm water needs $6,310,000, and non-linear infrastructure such as buildings and parks needs $23,100,000.

On top of that, even if Cranbrook could come up with $107 million to do those repairs, the city would still need to put aside $15.3 million

every year to keep the infrastructure at an acceptable level.

In 2012, city council budgeted just $2.8 million for linear infrastructure.

So, if Cranbrook keeps spending on infrastructure at the same rate as it is now plus inflation, after 10 years council would need to add $53 million to the $107 million needed for repairs.

Cranbrook’s roadway system is in the worst condition of all of the linear infrastructure, with an expected remaining life of 31 per cent.

The city owns 158 kilometres of roads, valued at about $178 million. To maintain that roadway system would cost $4.2 million each year.

But Hodge said Cranbrook is not alone

in dealing with a large infrastructure deficit.

“Our community is absolutely average with communities large and small across the country,” said Hodge. “Without sustained renewal funding from other levels of government, it’s all our tax dollars and you know how little of the tax dollar you have any control over,” he told council.

However, Hodge said the answer is not increasing property taxes, either.

“The whole objective is not to spend a great deal more than we already spend. We are tapped out as a community — the taxpayer can’t pay more. We will have to use other ways of managing it,” he said, adding that he doesn’t mean property tax rates should be frozen indefinitely.

“Fortunately, I believe that if we act we can stall this challenge.

It will take commitment and time. The old adage is: how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time,” said Hodge.

He presented a plan to deal with the infrastructure deficit. The city should hold open houses to present “infrastructure report cards” to the community and pick up anecdotal feedback. The city should create a staff committee with representatives of each department that would set priorities for infrastructure projects, in collaboration with a new community taskforce on the issue. Hodge recommended the city hire a new staff member to assess infrastructure investment and conduct risk analysis.

Police seek info on hit and run For the Bulletin

The Cranbrook RCMP detachment are seeking information for the public after a driver struck a pedestrian an Monday evening, backed up and left the scene.

At 8 p.m. on November 19 the RCMP received a call that a pedestrian had been struck on the strip near King Street.

The victim was a 56-year-old woman who had been crossing the street when she was hit by a vehicle after it turned

through the Arches.

The RCMP say the vehicle struck the woman, backed up and drove around the victim as she was laying on the road, and took off.

A witness who happened upon the scene was able to get a description of the vehicle before it left the scene. It was described as a grey SUV type vehicle, possible a GMC Acadia or similar sized vehicle, bearing a license plate with 351 as the last

three numbers.

The victim was transported to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital with undetermined non-life-threatening injuries.

The Cranbrook RCMP detachment is seeking the public’s assistance in locating the vehicle and are asking that anyone with information on this hit and run contact the detachment at 250-489-3471 or contact the local East Kooteney Crimestoppers chapter at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Ktunaxa opposition remains

From Front Page “Once again we have been ignored,” Teneese told the Townsman about the new municipality. “Ktunaxa felt it wasn’t appropriate to make this decision with a legal case to still be resolved. It is another example of the current government forcing this resort through despite local opposition, including Ktunaxa.”

The nation alleges the approval of the resort represents a desecration of a principal Ktunaxa sacred site, the likely undoing of Ktunaxa spiritual and religious practices and a significant and unjustifiable violation of Ktunaxa constitutional rights.

“The Ktunaxa want the judicial review to overturn the government approval of the Master Development Plan, which would hopefully stop this resort from moving forward, regardless of its new designation as a resort municipality, which could be removed by the next government,” Teneese said.

Consultations with the Ktunaxa and other involved First Nations have been ongoing throughout the process but the two sides never agreed on the right path for the Jumbo valley.

“They’re not likely to convince us of anything and vice versa,” Teneese said.

Teneese said the Ktunaxa were approached this summer about the creation of a mountain resort municipality and were not surprised about Tuesday’s announcement.

The Ktunaxa will launch their application for a judicial review of the Jumbo Glacier Resort’s Master Development Plan on Nov. 30, and Teneese said the Nation will continue on as planned after the municipality was approved.

“There’s no reason for us to change our plan,” she said. “We are disappointed and concerned that there’s an attempt to try to distract from whether or not the proposal should proceed.”

In a press conference announcing the new municipality on Tuesday, Minister for Community, Sport and Cultural Development Bill Bennett said the judicial review should not effect the new municipality designation.

“My understanding of what they’re asking the government to review is the decision to sign the Master Development Agreement, so that wouldn’t have any impact on government’s decision to issue the Letters Patent today,” he said. “So there is no connection.”

But Teneese disagrees, saying that if the judicial review goes ahead, the project cannot proceed.

“The Master Development Plan is the overall guide to whether the project proceeds,” she said.

Bennett said that if a judicial review is approved and the a Supreme Court Justice were to find issues with the process that led up to the Master Development Agreement being approved, that could cause issues with the new municipality.

“If the judge was to review the master development agreement and the process leading up to it and found some fault, obviously that would have some impact on the process overall,” he said.

Teneese said the looming provincial election may be the reason the Mountain Resort Municipality status was granted now.

“I think everything right now has to do with the election coming up in May,” she said.

She believes that when British Columbians head to the polls, their opinion of the Jumbo Glacier Resort will be reflected in their vote.

After the rally, the protesters will march from the Ktunaxa Nation Government building to the Cranbrook Law Courts where they are requesting the judicial review take place.

“We think it’s important for the hearing to take place in closer proximity to the location,” she said.

With a big step forward for the Jumbo Glacier Resort, Teneese urges the public to get informed about all sides of the issue.

Christmas cheer at Cranbrook’s Stage Door

CRANBROOK - Cranbrook Community Theatre (CCT) is bringing Christmas cheer to the Stage Door this Festive Season. Beginning December 7 —and running for six nights — CCT is proud to once again present “It’s a Wonderful Life, the Live Radio Show”.

The play is an interesting spin on the beloved holiday classic It’s a Wonderful Life. The story comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast and the audience becomes the live radio audience of another era. They will be treated to behind the microphone interactions of the cast, sound effects and the production of this play within a play! This lovely story set in Studio A at WLKT in Manhattan is sure to leave audiences’ hearts warmed.

CCT champion and seasoned director Terry Miller is again directing this charming play. “This unique version of It’s a Wonderful Life was first brought to the Stage Door back in 2010 and was a huge success,” says Miller. “It’s a great story and watching someone read it to you as a performance is strangely endearing. This show received very heartfelt comments last time we did it and it’s very much worth sharing again.”

Terry Miller has assembled a stellar local cast with some old faces and some new, including Jennifer Inglis, Peter Schalk, Sean Swinwood, Sioban Staplin and David Popoff.

Co-produced by Sally Masters and Kristy Quinn, It’s a Wonderful Life, the Live Radio Show will run for six nights, December 7 & 8 and 12, 13, 14 & 15 at The Stage Door, Cranbrook. Tickets are $13 CCT members/$15 non-members and are available at Lotus Books, or at the door.

CCT has been entertaining Cranbrook and area audiences for over 50 years. We strive to promote and develop local talent; on stage, behind the scenes, or in the director’s chair. CCT believes theatre, music, dance, and art play an important part in the community. We are pleased to call the Studio/Stage Door home.

Help for families in crisis New local branch of Friends of Children gives financial and emotional support to families with sick children Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Families of sick children in the East Kootenays will now have financial and emotional support by their side.

Friends of Children has been providing service to East Kootenay families from its office in Prince George since 2009. But in October, the organization opened an office in Cranbrook and is now offering in-person assistance to East Kootenay families struggling with the burdens of childhood illness.

Located in the Kootenay Child Development Centre, Friends of Children has a family support coordinator, Pat Chisholm, who began work in October assisting families from this region.

“I am very excited to take on this role,” said Chisholm.

Already this year, Friends of Children has assisted families 76 times to pay for accommodation, travel and equipment costs.

“It is an amazing opportunity to support families during a very stressful time with tangible and concrete resources, information and linkages that will reduce the burden for families coping with an ill or injured child,” said Chisholm.

It’s important that families in the area know the service is available, and that they are not afraid to ask for help early on in the process.

“Please don’t be shy. If you have a sick child, ASK EARLY if Friends of Children may be able to help. We are just a phone call or email away and can only cover costs for expenditures we are notified about prior to them being paid for. Families can reach us quickly at our toll-free number 1- 866-564-2217,” said Chisholm.

To learn more about Friends of Children, visit an open house at the new Cranbrook office in the Kootenay Child Devel-

opment Centre, 16 – 12th Avenue South, Cranbrook, on Monday, November 26 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The open house is for the public, service providers and families to learn about the organization’s services and how families have used this resource in the past, while sharing some tasty food.

What’s more, Gail Brown, the East Kootenay representative on the Friends of Children board of directors, will accept a donation at the event.

Friends of Children is a non-profit society that raises funds and secures grants to directly assist families and their children.

“Donations such as this one are essential in order for Friends of Children to continue our work,” said Brown.

Guests at the open house will also hear about opportunities, like this donation, for becoming involved in the work of the society.

For more information about Friends of Children, contact Pat Chisholm at 250 4201759, ekoffice@friendsofchildren.ca or check out the website www.friendsofchildren.ca.

Cranbrook’s infrastucture deficit From Front Page Finally, he urged council to keep an open mind to financial reform.

“I’m not exactly sure what form that should take, but it would be safe to say our existing models don’t measure up to today’s demands. They are going to get less relevant as time goes on,” said Hodge.

Council welcomed the report, but many admitted the presentation was frightening.

“It’s very serious,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski.

“There are some tough choices ahead.”

Councillor Gerry Warner said making up the deficit could mean big changes for Cranbrook.

“If at this table we did nothing but deal with in-

frastructure, it would probably be too much.

We are going to go down a road that is really going to change the lifestyle of this community. Man, this is serious,” said Warner.

But other councillors said that at least it is identifying the problem.

“Those are some pretty daunting numbers but acknowledging what they are is the first step towards a long term solution,” said Councillor Bob Whetham.

Councillor Diana J. Scott agreed: “It may not look too pretty, but it’s a way to not hide our head in the sand, to say this is where we are and build towards the future.”

Falling for Kittens at BC SPCA Shelters are overflowing with kittens

The usual adoption application and procedures will apply.

For more details on the Fall for Kittens promotion, visit your local SPCA branch or visit spca.bc.ca to view all adoptable animals and for information on SPCA locations across B.C.

The East Kootenay Branch of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is hoping you will ‘fall for kittens’ next week.

BCSPCA branches across the province are offering a special deal on kittens, trying to reduce a surplus before winter.

The Fall for Kittens event runs from Monday, November 26 until sunday, December 9, 2012. During that time, anyone wishing to give a homeless kitten a home will receive 50 per cent off all adoption fees. That applies to all feline adoptions.

“The BC SPCA takes in more than 17,000 homeless cats and kittens each year and right now our shelters are filled to capacity,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “Normally at this time of year the number of abandoned and surrendered kittens lessens, but the kittens just keep coming this year and we are really overwhelmed with the number of homeless kittens and cats who need loving homes. We hope this special promotion will be an incentive for people who have thought through their decision to adopt a pet and are just waiting for the right time.”

Chortyk says that there are currently 936 adult cats and 1,146 kittens in SPCA facilities across the province needing good homes.

And plenty of those are right here in the East Kootenay.

A cat or kitten adopted from the SPCA is already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, has

As an added bonus all cats and kittens are also covered by six weeks pet insurance courtesy of Petsecure to ensure their health during the transition to a new home.

According to Chortyk the average cost to the SPCA to care for a cat during its stay is $784.

Even regular adoption fees are far less than that.

However, as much as the SPCA wants to find homes for these kitties, pet adoption is a serious commitment and they do want to make sure the cat is going to the right home.

osiree, they don’t write ‘em like that anymore. Remember that poem? Samuel Taylor Coleridge took too much opium one day in 1797 and nodded off, and had a virtual dream of an epic poem, until the insurance salesman came knocking at his door and woke him up. After Coleridge got rid of his caller, he could only remember 54 lines.

I don’t really see that he had much reason to complain. He still managed to dash off 54 of the greatest lines in English poetry. I guess those Romantics weren’t happy unless they were composing odes.

It’s an interesting image.

The emperor enclosed a parcel of pastoral land for a beautiful pleasure-dome, with incense-bearing trees, and gardens bright with sinuous rills, etc. But in a spectacular stroke of geological bad luck, the sacred river was forced up from underground, like a geyser, in an explosion of flying rocks, and flooded the whole area. Kubla Khan then heard the disembodied voices of his ancestors prophesying war — a bad portent, presumably.

Coleridge’s dream then veered off into a more proper opium-induced hallucination, which though compelling, is harder to summarize neatly.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought of Coleridge and his famous poem upon reading the news of the state of our infrastructure (Townsman, Nov. 21). It seems that right beneath our feet is a series of geological bugbears whose enemy is everything we lay down for our convenience

— smooth roads, sewer pipes, water mains, and other things we prefer not to look at too closely, but on whose good condition we depend for proper, civilized, 21st century urban living.

After all, the pleasure-dome we call Cranbrook is built over a series of swamps, underground rivulets, gravel pits, and of course our own sacred river — still unnamed. This ground is always squirming and groaning restlessly, pushing big boulders around under the surface, frost-heaving at the drop of a hat. Thank you, Colonel Baker.

Any day now, we can expect a mighty fountain to be forced, flinging up “momently” the sacred river, and turning our little town, with “forests ancient as the hills,” into the Venice of the Rockies.

Barry There are several opCoulter tions to consider: • First of all, we could vote in a referendum to fix all the roads and other infrastructure all at once, using tax dollars to do so. We could all take out second mortgages, thus doing our bit. It would be like buying victory bonds, only different.

The infrastructure would be fixed, and then we wouldn’t have to worry about it for 10 years.

So every 10 years, we could fix the infrastructure again, all at once, hiring dozens of companies to take the streets apart and put them back together. We could treat this mass construction event as some kind of city-wide festival. The fact that it occurs every 10 years would make it especially fun.

• We could go the full-on green route, and let our fancy infrastructure subside while getting used to alternate ways of life.

We could all switch to compost toilets, perhaps with the help of a city rebate program.

This would cut Cranbrook’s water usage by

50 per cent, and provide a source of, well, compost. Since in our new, green, infrastructure-freer life, we’d all be growing more backyard crops, we’d need to, well, manure our gardens, wouldn’t we?

• We could forgo cars. Mules are surefooted, and can circumnavigate sinkholes, potholes or wormholes. A quick City bylaw amendment would enable us to keep mules in our backyard for transportation purposes. This would create jobs in the form of public stables, tack shops and suchlike mule-friendly facilities. So rather than driving over bumpy roads worrying about your tie-rod ends breaking, you could simply mount your mule and amble down to the grocery store with your saddle bags.

And if the city is going to allow us to keep mules in our backyards — which I think is the best idea I’ve had yet — then we might as well have our chickens and goats too. The goats would be good for keeping down the grass growing up through the cracks in our streets.

I’m sure our wise city leaders will ultimately come up with the ideal solution for our infrastructure, so that in fact we won’t have to live our lives any differently than we ever have, so that we can still speed through school zones on smooth, flat roads and water our lawns within an inch of our lives, which are our fundamental human rights.

However, I submit the above great ideas for the City’s perusal, and should they choose to use all or any, I turn said ideas over to them free of copyright.

In the meantime, if this is the infrastructure apocalypse, then it strikes me as more whimper than bang. I will continue to live my life in this pleasure-dome Cranbrook, dining on honeydew and drinking the milk of paradise.

Opinion/features

Ceasefires, negotiations and lack thereof

O

ver the last week or so, fighting has raged in Gaza between Hamas and Israel, as the two sides took a break from relative peace to flex their militaristic muscles.

Hamas sparked the conflict by lobbing rockets into Israel, which escalated after the Israeli Defence Forces assassinated a senior Hamas military leader in an airstrike.

The two enemies continued the charade of tit-for-tat — Hamas with rockets, Israel with airstrikes — until a cease-fire was brokered with help from the U.S. and the Egyptians.

We’ll see how far this agreement goes, which came into effect on Wednesday evening, but it’s an encouraging sign from two sides that seem hell-bent on destroying each other in the most volatile region of the world.

It makes me think of two other sworn enemies, though not on the world stage, but rather the sporting arena, as the NHL and NHLPA are still searching for a way to come to terms.

Don’t get me wrong, I care much more about a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas than I do about the wrangling

between millionaires and billionaires, but I think there’s an interesting parallel.

Hamas, an armed political entity, refuses to recognize Israel’s right to exist, while Israel, along with many Western governments, have labeled Hamas a terrorist organization.

The two are bitter, bitter enemies, yet they both have recognized in this crisis that it’s it’s in their own best interests to use diplomacy and come to the negotiating table rather than get involved in a protracted ground war that could destabilize the region even further.

I wish the NHL and the Trevor NHLPA could have that attiCrawley tude.

The lockout has dragged into nearly it’s 10th week and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman revealed that the league loses between $18 million to $20 million per day, while the players are losing $8 million to $10 million per day.

That’s a lot of money gone on both sides.

This isn’t about who’s right or wrong, who’s offering the biggest concessions or the best deals, it’s just a statement of fact.

Both sides are losing, and not from a

monetary standpoint.

The NHL generated $3.28 billion in 2011-2012 fiscal year, as the previous fiveyear collective bargaining agreement had a compound annual growth rate of 6.35 per cent.

Revenue grew every year under the last agreement as Bettman spent—or should I say lost—a considerable amount of money trying to keep non-hockey markets viable (Phoenix Coyotes anyone?) while chasing lucrative U.S broadcasting contracts.

All that goodwill that the league and players built with fans — the diehards and the newly initiated — has been dashed by the recent round of squabbling, and it will be interesting to see how many fans come crawling back once a deal is reached.

My hope is that the two sides eventually look past their respective priorities and see how much their quibbling has damaged their reputations and the game itself and get a deal done.

The eventual agreement may be a bitter pill for both sides to swallow, but the NHL and the NHLPA are alienating their revenue source — the fans —the longer this impasse drags out.

The beginning of Beat BOOKNOTES

Mike Selby

“T

he typewriter is holy the poem is holy the voice is holy / the hearers are holy the ecstasy is holy!”

These words, first uttered in public in the fall of 1955, were read by Allen Ginsberg, from a work he had written called “Howl.” Ginsberg had been invited to read his work at the Six Gallery Art Museum in San Francisco. None of the young poets that night had ever read their work publically, including Ginsberg, whose dread of public speaking was obvious by the tears welling up behind his glasses. Ginsberg shouldn’t have worried though. It was the “Howl” heard around the world.

Although most people feel the Beat Generation begins and ends with Jack Kerouac, it is actually Allen Ginsberg who is the most responsible for this literary group of post-World War II writers. Looking back from today, the Beats were nothing more than Ginsberg’s wish to be surrounded with like-minded friends. As one historian put it, Ginsberg was “the locomotive that pulled the others along like so many boxcars.”

Yet the story of the Beats doesn’t begin with new forms of writing — or even with Ginsberg making friends. The story of the Beats begins with a murder.

It was the mid-1940s when 18-year-old Lucien Carr enrolled at Columbia University; not so much to study but for a much darker reason. David Kammerer, one of Carr’s middle school teachers, turned out to be a sexual predator, and had been stalking Carr for the past five years. Columbia was the 4th university Carr’s parents had sent him to. Upon moving into Columbia’s dorms, he met Ginsberg, and

Alan Ginsberg (left) and jack Kerouac they became instant friends. Soon after they met Carr took Ginsberg to meet a friend of his from his hometown of St. Louis, William S. Burroughs. At Burroughs’ apartment Ginsberg met Celine Young, another fellow student and Carr’s girlfriend. Also sitting in Burroughs’ apartment — much to Carr’s dismay — was David Kammerer.

Retreating back to Columbia, Carr ran into another transplant from his hometown, Edie Parker. It was here that Parker introduced Ginsberg, Carr, and Burroughs to her new boyfriend, a French-Canadian named Jack Kerouac. Kerouac was at Columbia to play football, but he wrecked his knee and now hoped to become a writer.

Like the others, Kerouac became one of Ginsberg’s closet friends. Then it all fell apart as suddenly as it had begun.

On the evening August 13th, 1944, Carr spent the night drinking with Kerouac at a bar. Kerouac left early, forcing Carr to walk home alone. Crossing a deserted park, he was attacked by David Kammerer. Carr stabbed Kammerer with his pocket knife, and rolled his body into

the Hudson River. Carr was charged with manslaughter, and was sent to prison (he served two years, and was later pardoned).

This event profoundly shook Ginsberg’s tightly knit group, and the only way they felt they could deal with it was to write about it. Kerouac did just that with his first book, “The Town & the City.”

Ginsberg wrote a novel about the murder in “Bloodsong,” and Burroughs and Kerouac collaborated on a mystery titled “And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks.”

Ginsberg’s friendship and Carr’s imprisonment solidified the Beat Generation; realizing their common bond was in producing literature. Although a famous poet would later state “three people don’t make a generation,” it is hard to deny the influence Ginsberg, Burroughs, and Kerouac would have on what was to come.

And what was to come came in a person named Neal Cassady (next week!).

Nitros head coach Roman Vopat resigns TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters have announced that head coach Roman Vopat, after being asked by the executive to temporarily step back from the Kimberley Dynamiters, has decided to resign permanently.

Vopat’s resignation comes after he recently agreed to temporarily step away from the team while the club’s executives worked to resolve some undeclared issues.

“His decision is indeed a sad day in Kimberley junior hockey history,” said the Dynamiters organization in a brief statement.

“Roman did a fine

job in fulfilling his coaching and general manager duties during his tenure with the Nitros. We wish him and his family all the best in whatever the future holds and would like to thank him for bringing the Dynamiters back to being one of the top teams in the KIJHL.” Vopat, a former NHL player, took the helm last year and guided the team to a regular season record of 34-14-1-1. The Nitros made it into the second round of the KIJHL playoffs, but fell to the Fernie Ghostriders in Game 7.

The team is currently second in the Eddie Mountain division, with a 14-11-0-0 record.

Ice cooled by 7-4 road loss in Seattle TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

250-489-0100

Playing catch-up was too much for the Kootenay Ice, as the Thunderbirds built on an early lead to win 7-4 on home ice in Seattle on Wednesday night.

The T-Birds led 3-1 going into the final period, which is when the bulk of the scoring happened, as Kootenay had it’s three-game win .

streak broken.

The Ice were dominant in different parts of the game, but Seattle’s goaltender, Brandon Glover, stood fast.

“We were getting pucks to the net but we needed more opportunities off of those,” said Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel, “and when we do get an opportunity, making sure we bear down and put the puck

in the net.”

Kootenay put 40 shots on Glover, who made 36 saves, while Mackenzie Skapski allowed six goals in 32 shots for the Ice. Seattle capitalized once on the man-advantage in three opportunities, while Kootenay was denied on all three of theirs.

system, we were very successful, but we need to make sure that we have more guys working as a unit,” said Kletzel.

“We need everyone playing within the system and playing within the best of their ability to make sure we put ourselves in good situations to win games.”

The T-Birds had the best chance to score early, as Skapski bobbled a save, but Seattle couldn’t collect the puck and put it into the net.

However, the T-Birds struck first, when import Roberts Lipsbergs finished on a pretty threeway passing play seven minutes into the period.

The T-Birds doubled the lead three minutes later, when Connor Honey beat Skapski top corner stick side on a three-on-one rush into the zone.

However, the Ice had their chances, with Martin putting a backhand a hair wide of the post during a scramble in front of Glover.

But Kootenay did capitalize 30 seconds after Honey’s goal, when Zach McPhee beat Glove low stick side on a breakaway.

The T-Birds managed to score an early power play goal in the second period, as Riley Sheen tipped a shot by Skapski.

However, the Ice took control of the game for

the latter half of the period, as the line of Collin Shirley, Sam Reinhart and Luke Philp caused a lot of misery in the offensive zone, but no goals resulted.

The third period was the decider of the contest, as the goal lamps flickered on seven separate times.

Jakub Prochazka scored his first career WHL goal, picking up a fat rebound off a shot from Levi Cable.

However, Seattle responded twice with two quick goals from Luke Lockhart that were scored roughly a minute and a half apart.

Ice defenceman Tanner Muth took a high sticking minor penalty, but Jordyn Boyd managed to score shorthanded after working some magic with Jaedon Descheneau.

Down 5-3, the Ice kept trying to play catchup, but it was the T-Birds who scored, off a goal from Justin Hickman, to restore a three-goal lead with five minutes to go.

Boyd got his second of the night with two minutes left in the game, but Alexander Delanov potted the empty netter.

The Ice continue their swing through the U.S division this weekend, with stops in Portland on Friday and Everett on Saturday.

NHLPA tables proposal as negotiations resume Chris Johnston Canadian Press

NEW YORK - The NHL and NHL Players’ Association finally seem to be speaking the same language, but they still have a gap to bridge in negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement.

The union tabled a comprehensive proposal Wednesday that generated a tepid response from the league. However, commissioner Gary Bettman acknowledged the six-page offer was a step in the right direction and the document appeared to offer a path forward in talks, with the sides now envisioning the same type of economic system.

“There was movement on some issues by the players’ association and that was appreciated,” said Bettman. “But we’re still far apart.

Hopefully there will have been some momentum from today’s session that we can build off of to hopefully bring this process to a successful conclusion.”

The union proposed a 50-50 split of revenues during the five-year deal along with $393 million in deferred make whole payments throughout the agreement. Two weeks ago, the league offered $211 million and a 50-50 split.

NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr acknowledged that his constituents are anxious to end the lockout and indicated that the new offer is “about as good” as the players are willing to make. “(The players) are suffering right along with the fans,” said Fehr.

“We made an enormous move in the owners di-

rection to try and end it - at least as of today that hasn’t been successful.”

Until now, the union had been pushing for a system that would see players paid a fixed amount of revenue each season rather than receiving a percentage of it. However, the new offer included some safeguards to ensure they’d be protected in the event league revenues stalled, including a clause that states the players’ share can’t drop from year to year.

“The players are making enormous concessions to the owners and we want some protection on the downside,” said Fehr.

There is still ground to cover on contract issues as well.

The new NHLPA offer included a rule that would punish teams who sign players

“There was some movement on some issues by the players’ association and that was appreciated.”

Gary Bettman to long-term, back-diving contracts - something the league has identified as an important issue. It also called for players making more than $1 million in the minors to have their salary count against the salary cap.

However, the union chose not adopt the NHL’s proposed changes to unrestricted free agency, entry-level deals and salary arbitration, among other things. And the league still hasn’t shown any willingness to budge on those issues.

Raptors lose heartbreaker to Bobcats Ste ve Reed Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. The Charlotte Bobcats are off to a fast start so far this season.

Less than three weeks into the season, the surprising Bobcats are a game away from matching last season’s win total following a 98-97 victory Wednesday night over the Toronto Raptors.

Ramon Sessions hit a 16-footer with 28 seconds left and the Bobcats made a late defensive stand to win for the fifth time in six games to

run their record to 6-4 matching the franchise’s best start.

The Bobcats were an NBA-worst 7-59 last season.

To put this season’s impressive start in perspective, it took the Bobcats 40 games last season before winning their sixth game.

This season the Bobcats continue to find ways to win close games, running their record to 5-0 in games decided by four points or fewer.

As they’ve done all season, the Bobcats did it with defence.

Disgraced hockey coach Graham James eligible to apply for full parole WINNIPEG - Disgraced junior hockey coach Graham James is eligible to apply for full parole, but has not yet made a request.

Last March, James was sentenced to two years in jail after pleading guilty to sexually abusing retired NHL star Theo Fleury and his cousin, Todd Holt, when they were teenage players in the Western Hockey League.

James became eligible for day parole in September and for full parole this week, but the National Parole Board says it has not received any applications from him.

The Crown is appealing the two-year sentence in a hearing set for Dec. 3.

The Crown had asked for a six-year term and, in its appeal, says the judge erred by placing too much emphasis on James’s previous time behind bars.

James was sentenced to 3 1/2 years in 1997 for molesting former NHLer Sheldon Kennedy and two other players.

Canadian Press

Toronto had four shots to win it in their final possession, but two shots were blocked - one by Jeffery Taylor and the other by Bismack Biyombo - and Andrea Bargnani’s baseline jumper fell short as time expired.

Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap called the defensive stand “twothirds willpower and one-third technique.”

“We were trying to switch everything, but at the end, coach said just stay with your man,” Biyombo said. “We had to make quick decisions

and I think we made pretty quick decisions and we did a pretty good job as a team. It was just big time.”

Kemba Walker had 19 points and seven assists for the Bobcats, while Sessions and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist each had 14 points.

Walker and Sessions have both scored in double digits in all 10 games.

Bargnani had 25 points and Kyle Lowry added 21 for the Raptors. Jonas Valanciunas added 16 points and 10 rebounds.

“On the big things, there was ... no reciprocity in any meaningful sense,” said Fehr.

“No movement on the players share. No movement on salary arbitration eligibility. No movement on free agency eligibility. No movement on a pension plan, although they say they’d like to do it.”

The league and union did have a candid discussion about the NHLPA’s new offer.

After giving the NHL a chance to read it through, the sides reconvened Wednesday afternoon and spent two more hours at the bargaining table.

“We went through

their proposal point by point,” said Bettman.

“We talked about the things that were agreeable, we talked about the things that we could modify, we talked about the things that we had no more room to move on and explained our proposal on each of those elements.”

With the lockout into its 10th week, the sides are attempting to reach a deal that would see a shortened schedule played this season. The labour dispute has damaged the sport’s business, with Bettman saying the league is losing between $18 and $20 million every day of the labour dispute.

The commissioner

indicated that he was surprised they hadn’t already been able to reach an agreement.

“We made a proposal (in October) to save an 82-game season and frankly we’re all mystified as to why we’re not playing in light of that offer and in light of the fact that the players are losing as a group between $8 and $10 million a day,” said Bettman. “We could have been playing, we could have been continuing the momentum this game had on an offer and an agreement that was long term and fair.

“So there’s a lot about this process that one could scratch their head about.”

Stampeders’ coach bucks tradition at Grey Cup news conference Dan R alph Canadian Press

TORONTO - John Hufnagel bucked Grey Cup tradition Wednesday.

As he and Toronto Argonauts rookie head coach Scott Milanovich stood on opposite sides of the Grey Cup, the

Calgary Stampeders’ head coach and GM grabbed one of its silver handles. That gesture caused a stir among reporters in attendance because coaches have traditionally refrained from touching the hallowed trophy until they’ve won it on the

field.

But Hufnagel had no problem bucking that trend because he has won the Grey Cup, most recently in 2008 with Calgary.

“I think my name’s on it,” he said when asked why he touched the Cup, prompting much laughter.

Milanovich stood next to the trophy, close enough that his reflection could be seen in it.

But he refrained from touching it despite earning Grey Cup rings in 2009 and ‘10 as an assistant coach with the Montreal Alouettes.

“We decided, as a team, that we weren’t going to touch it,” Milanovich said.

Why? “Tradition,” he said.

Milanovich will make his first Grey Cup appearance as a head coach Sunday when Toronto hosts Calgary at Rogers Centre. One of his first duties was participating in the coaches news conference Wednesday with Hufnagel at the Royal York

Hotel.

Despite a 22-year age difference, the Grey Cup head coaches share many similarities.

They both hail from Pennsylvania, played quarterback collegiately as well as in the NFL and CFL, earned championship rings north of the border as assistants and are in this year’s game after leading their teams to second-place finishes in their respective divisions.

Hufnagel, 61, got into coaching as a player-coach with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in ‘87 before becoming a full-time coach the following season. But coaching was in Milanovich’s blood as a youngster as his father, Gary, was a former assistant football coach in Butler, Pa. Gary Milanovich attended Toronto’s 27-20 road win over Montreal in the East Division final Sunday but it’s not clear if he’ll be in attendance for the Grey Cup. “I thought the world of my dad,” Milanovich

Hufnagel said no one should be surprised to see two former quarterbacks in the

Grey Cup as head coaches.

“It is a passing league, you have to have a real good understanding of pass offence and pass protection but don’t neglect the running game,” he said.

“Usually the quarterback does have a little bit of a head start in that area.”

Fighting silenced as Hamas and Israel reach cease fire Mohammed Dar aghmeh,Sar ah El Deeb Associated Press

Israel and the Hamas militant group agreed to a cease-fire Wednesday to end eight days of the fiercest fighting in nearly four years, promising to halt air strikes and rocket attacks that have killed scores and to discuss easing an Israeli blockade constricting the Gaza Strip.

Gazans emerged from their homes after a week, cheering and chanting. Gunmen fired in the air, and chants of ``God is Great’’ echoed from mosque loudspeakers.

Residents hugged and kissed in celebration, while others distributed candy and waved Hamas flags.

However, rocket fire continued to slam into southern Israel long after the cease-fire deadline had passed, authorities said, and schools in the region planned to stay shut Thursday as a precaution in case rockets continue to be launched.

The deal was brokered by the new Islamist government of Egypt, solidifying its role as a leader in the quickly shifting Middle East after two days of intense shuttle diplomacy that saw U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton race to the region. Under the agreement, Egypt will play a key role in maintaining the peace.

Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal said the deal in-

Smoke billows from the site of an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, left, shakes hands Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012. Israeli aircraft pounded Gaza with at with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas during a meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Wednesday, Nov. 21. least 30 strikes overnight, hitting a number of targets. cluded an agreement to open all border crossings with the Gaza Strip, including the important Rafah crossing with Egypt. A copy of the deal appeared to be somewhat vague about the details on the crossings. ``The document provides for the opening of all crossings,’’ he insisted.

Minutes before the deal took effect at 9 p.m. local time. (2 p.m. EDT) there was a spasm of Palestinian rocket attacks and Israeli airstrikes, including one that killed a man minutes before the deadline. After 9 p.m., the airstrikes cease, but rocket fire continued, with at least 12 fired into Israel an hour into the truce, said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.

Israel had launched well over 1,500 airstrikes and other attacks on targets in Gaza since fight-

ing started Nov. 14, while more than 1,500 rockets pounded Israel. In all, 161 Palestinians, including dozens of civilians, were killed, while five Israelis died.

Standing next to Clinton, Egypt’s foreign minister, Mohammed Kamel Amr, announced the truce breakthrough that capped days of intense efforts that drew the world’s top diplomats into the fray.

The agreement will ``improve conditions for the people of Gaza and provide security for the people of Israel,’’ Clinton said at the news conference in Cairo.

In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he agreed to the cease-fire after consulting with President Barack Obama to allow Israeli civilians to get back to their lives. He

said the two leaders also agreed to work together against weapon smuggling into Gaza, a statement confirmed by the White House.

Netanyahu also left the door open to a possible ground invasion of Gaza at a later date. ``I know there are cit-

izens that expected a wider military operation and it could be that it will be needed. But at this time, the right thing for the state of Israel is to take this opportunity to reach a lasting ceasefire,’’ he said.

According to a copy of the agreement obtained

A Delightful Christmas Special!

by The Associated Press, Israel and all Palestinian militant groups agreed to halt ``all hostilities.’’ For the Palestinians, that means an end to Israeli airstrikes and assassinations of wanted militants.

For Israel, it brings a halt to rocket fire and attempts at cross-border

incursions from Gaza.

After a 24-hour cooling off period, it calls for ``opening the crossings and facilitating the movement of people and transfer of goods, and refraining from restricting residents’ free movement.’’

Hamas officials said details on the new border arrangements would have to be negotiated.

Israel imposed its blockade of Gaza after Hamas, a militant group sworn to Israel’s destruction, seized control of the territory five years ago. It has gradually eased the closure, but continues to restrict the movement of certain goods through Israeli-controlled crossings. Among the restrictions: a near-complete ban on exports, limited movement of people leaving the territory, and limits on construction materials that Israel says could be used for military use.

the PROBLEM SOLVER

This year use holiday LED light strings to decorate your tree, windows, or entire house. These energy-efficient light strings use a new light-emitting diode (LED) technology that is superior to standard incandescent light strings.

Compared to holiday incandescent light bulbs, holiday LED strings: • use up to 90% less energy* • last at least 10 times longer* • are more durable, with no filaments or glass bulbs to break • produce very little heat, reducing the risk of fire

oping with the death of a loved one is difficult. The family and legal representative(s) will need to comply with the requirements of the Income Tax Act (ITA) and provide Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) with certain information and tax returns on behalf of the deceased person.

What should you do first?

You should provide CRA with the deceased’s date of death as soon as possible if any of the following situations apply: * the deceased was receiving the Goods and Services Tax (GST) credit; * you are receiving GST credit payments for yourself and the deceased; * the deceased was receiving, or the deceased’s spouse or common-law partner receives Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) payments for a child; * the deceased was a child for whom CCTB or GST credit payments are paid; or * the deceased was receiving Canada Pension Plan Benefits and/or Old Age Security Benefits.

Arrangements have to be made to stop these payments and, if applicable, transfer them to a survivor. You can call or complete the applicable information form and send it to your tax services office or tax centre.

Was the deceased paying tax by installments?

If the deceased person was paying tax by installments, no further installment payments have to be paid after his or her death.

The only installments required are those that were due before the date of death, but not paid.

What do you do with the GST credit?

Generally, GST credit payments are issued on the fifth day of the month in July, October, January, and April. If the deceased was receiving GST credit payments,

Final Tax Returns of Deceased Persons CRA may still send out a payment after the date of death because they are not aware of the death. If this happens, you should return the payment.

What if the deceased’s GST credit is for the deceased only?

If a single person dies in a month before CRA sends a quarterly GST credit payment, no one else can receive the payment.

If a single person dies during or after a month in which CRA sends a quarterly payment, the person’s estate is entitled to that payment. Return the cheque to CRA, and they will make the cheque payable to the estate.

If the deceased had children for whom he or she was receiving the GST credit, the new caregiver should contact CRA as he or she may qualify to receive GST credit payments for these children.

What if the deceased’s GST credit is for the deceased and his or her spouse or commonlaw partner?

If the deceased had a spouse or common-law partner, that person may be eligible to receive the GST credit payments based on his or her net income alone. If the deceased’s GST credit included a claim for that spouse or common-law partner, he or she should: * contact CRA and ask to receive the GST credit payments for the remainder of the year for himself or herself and any children, if applicable; and * file an income tax and benefit return for the applicable previous year if he or she has not already done so.

What if the surviving spouse’s or common-law partner’s GST credit includes a claim for the deceased?

If the surviving spouse’s or common-law partner’s GST credit includes a claim for the deceased, the payments will be recalculated based on the spouse’s or common-law partner’s net in-

What our clients are saying ...

come alone, and will only include a claim for himself or herself and any children, if applicable.

What if the deceased is an eligible child?

Entitlement to GST credit payments for a deceased child stops the quarter after the child’s date of death. You should notify CRA of the date of death so that they can update their records.

You are the legal representative of a deceased person if: * you are named as the executor in the will; * you are appointed as the administrator of the estate by a court.

As the legal representative, your responsibilities under the Income Tax Act include: * filing all required returns for the deceased; * making sure all taxes owing are paid; and * letting the beneficiaries know which of the amounts they receive from the estate are taxable.

If you are the legal representative, you may need information from the deceased person’s tax records. Before CRA can give you this information, they will need the following: * a copy of the deceased’s death certificate; * the deceased’s social insurance number; and * a copy of the will or other legal document that shows you are the legal representative.

You should also provide your address so that CRA can reply directly to you. Send this information to your tax services office or tax centre.

What is the due date for the final tax return and any balance owing?

You have at least six months before the deceased’s final return is due to be filed. The final return and any balance owing are due

on or before the following dates: Period when death occurred January 1 to October 31 Due date for the return April 30 of the following year Period when death occurred November 1 to December 31 Due date for the return Six months after the date of death

If the deceased or the deceased’s spouse or common-law partner was carrying on a business during the year when the death occurred, special rules apply, unless the expenditures of the business are primarily in connection with a tax shelter.

If you file the final return late and there is a balance owing, CRA will charge a late-filing penalty. If you do not pay any balance owing from the final return in full by the due date, CRA will charge interest on the unpaid amount. The interest will start to accumulate from the day after the return is due to be filed to the date you pay the amount owing.

Previous year return If a person dies after December 31, but on or before the filing due date for his or her return (usually April 30), and that person had not yet filed that return, the due date for filing it as well as the payment of the balance owing is six months after the date of death.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Readers: Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! We hope you are fortunate enough to be spending the holiday with family and friends. We also hope you remembered those who are alone today and would love to be part of your family on this occasion. If it’s too late to include them this year, please make a note on your calendar to invite them next year.

Our special thanks to those readers who are spending the day volunteering at shelters and soup kitchens. Bless you for your kind hearts and generosity of spirit.

Dear Annie: A few times in the past, you have printed a Thanksgiving Prayer.

The first time I saw it, I cut it out of the paper and read it at our Thanksgiving table.

It perfectly expressed what I wanted to say.

Unfortunately, I misplaced the poem last year. With all of the chaos after the big meal, I think it was accidentally thrown out. Would you please print it again? This time I will be sure to put it in a very special place so I can have it to read every year.

-- Grateful in Arizona Dear Grateful: With pleasure. Here it is: Thanksgiving Prayer We come to this table today, O Lord, humble and thankful and glad.

We thank Thee first for the great miracle of life, for the exaltation of being human, for the capacity to love.

We thank Thee for joys both great and simple -For wonder, dreams and hope; For the newness of each day; For laughter and song and a merry heart; For compassion waiting within to be kindled; For the forbearance of friends and the smile of a stranger; For the arching of the earth and trees and heavens and the fruit of all three; For the wisdom of the old; For the courage of the young; For the promise of the child; For the strength that comes when needed; For this family united here today.

Of those to whom much is given, much is required. May we and our children remember this. Amen.

Dear Readers: Here’s one more poem, on the lighthearted side, sent in by a longtime reader. We hope you enjoy it: Twas the Night of Thanksgiving, author unknown Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn’t sleep.

I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.

The leftovers beckoned -the dark meat and white, but I fought the temptation with all of my might.

Tossing and turning with anticipation, the thought of a snack became infatuation.

So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door and gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.

I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes, pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.

I felt myself swelling so plump and so round, till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.

I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky with a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.

But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees...

Happy Eating to all!

Pass the cranberries, please!

Alleged theft of 100,000 toys FACTS You Need to Know ‘targeted,’ Salvation Army says About…

C ANADIAN PRESS

BC’s Economic Growth With

MLA,

Bill Bennett

1

The 14 members of BC’s Economic Forecast Council recently met with Finance Minister Mike deJong to provide essential advice in preparation of the upcoming provincial budget. The council gave an up-to-date view of the private sector outlook for BC in the coming years. Their advice ensures the budget can be as well informed as possible and major program areas like health and education remain protected.

TORONTO — The Salvation Army believes 100,000 toys were stolen from its Toronto warehouse over the past two years in a “targeted,’’ strategic plot to defraud the charity.

Police have been investigating the alleged theft, estimated to be worth about $2 million, since late September, but have not made any arrests.

The news comes as the Salvation Army is preparing to start its annual Christmas Kettle Campaign, where volunteers solicit donations in high-traffic areas like shopping malls and on the street.

About 140,000 toys are distributed to families in need each holiday season from the Toronto warehouse, but spokesman John Murray said at a news conference Wednesday that no one will go without.

“I can assure you that anyone in need this Christmas will be helped by the Salvation Army,’’ he said.

“To those Canadians who routinely and generously give to the Salvation Army I would appeal to you this afternoon to not lose confidence in the work of the Salvation Army and the work that we do on your behalf in Canadian cities.’’

A whistleblower within the organization tipped the Salvation Army off a few months ago and internal auditors made the “troubling’’ discovery, Murray said.

Executive director David Rennie was then fired. No criminal charges have been laid.

Police have not yet determined what happened to the toys at the Toronto warehouse. .

“This is an isolated situation,’’ Murray said.

CANADIAN PRESS/Chris Young

Major John Murray of the Salvation Army attends a news conference at their food and toy distribution centre in Toronto on November 21, 2012, after discussing the alleged theft of several million dollars worth of items.

“We believe that it’s been very specific. It’s been targeted. It’s been very strategic in the way that it was put together.

It was thought out.’’

The warehouse has video surveillance and security systems, but the Salvation Army has re-

The Majority of council members predicted BC’s real GDP growth will slightly outperform the Canadian average in 2013, estimating growth of 2.2 % in 2013, 2.6% in 2014 and 2.6 percent for 2015.

Despite global economic turmoil, BC remains a safe harbour for investors by controlling spending, balancing our budget, investing in skills training, exploring opportunities in natural gas, taking action to make life more affordable, and maintaining a triple-A credit rating.

Toyota is featuring the car in one-minute animated video called To The Moon and Back.

Lasiuta says he paid $150 for the 30-yearold car four years ago and has since added 40,000 km to its 1,160,000 total.

Still in good repair, he drives the two-door twotone automatic daily, using it to deliver newspapers and make trips to Calgary and Edmonton.

He says strangers are so impressed they offer to help him get parts for the car to keep it on the road.

Canadian museum gives up mummified head C ANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — The mummified head of a Maori warrior, the last one believed to be in the possession of a Canadian museum, is on its way home.

The remains of the male warrior with tattooed skin were handed over to authorities of a New Zealand museum in a traditional ceremony Wednesday.

In keeping with the tradition of the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, the ancestral head was not permitted to be filmed or photographed.

But the relic was visible to the handful of people attending the ceremony.

Laying under a sheer black cloth, it was wrapped in cellophane and packaged in a series of protective boxes for transport. All the while, a group of Maori chant-

ed, prayed and sang during an emotional ceremony.

Maori officials said they have spent a quarter-century trying to have human remains removed from display around the world and returned home for a proper burial.

In the 19th century, Europeans became enamoured with the heads and the Maori began using them almost like currency to trade for muskets and other coveted objects. While some were sold and traded, others were stolen because of their value as curiosity items.

“Before, they were received as works of art.

They were people and they are people,’’ said Michelle Hippolite, codirector of the Museum of New Zealand.

“In our culture, remembering that they are people first is what is

The head that ended up in Montreal was obtained by F. Cleveland Morgan in 1949 at the

Berkeley Galleries in England, before being donated to the museum.

Celebrities offer custom recordings for fundraiser ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Imagine having William Shatner supply your outgoing voicemail message.

Or maybe you’d prefer Morgan Freeman coolly telling callers to wait for the beep. Or perhaps having Betty White joke around is more your speed. All it takes is $299 and some luck.

The advocacy group Autism Speaks is offering custom-recorded messages from those celebrities as well as Will Ferrell, Carrie Fisher, Tom Hanks, Derek Jeter, Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart and Ed Asner.

From Dec. 3 to Dec. 9, a limited number of 20-second long MP3 messages will be recorded by each celebrity on a first-come, first-served basis for fans to do with as they wish. All requests must be of the PG variety.

Asner, the curmudgeonly Emmy Award winner of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show’’ and “Lou Grant,’’ dreamed up the unusual fundraiser with his son Matt, who works for Autism

that they have retrieved about 320 of the 500 known remains around the world, located in 14 different countries.

That doesn’t count private collections, but some collectors have come forward after hearing about the campaign to repatriate the heads.

All the known Canadian ones have now been retrieved.

Many museums have been more than willing to return the artifacts, called the Toi Moko by the Maori, but some have balked.

Rahui Papa, a cultural expert and a member of the tribal group on hand Wednesday, said those museums have argued that they own the heads or that they were part of larger collections donated to

Speaks.

“I think people will get a charge out of it,’’ says Asner, who is currently on Broadway in the play “Grace.’’ “I’ll probably say, ‘What are you wearing?’ Or, ‘Take it off.’ Something like that.“

All proceeds will support autism research and advocacy efforts.

If he could get a message from one of the other stars participating, which would Asner want?

“I’m awfully stuck on Will Ferrell, having been

subjected to him in ‘Elf,’’’ Asner says. “But they’re all such standouts — Patrick Stewart, Leonard Nimoy, Shatner. The list doesn’t stop. Even Betty White,’’ he adds about his “MTM’’ costar. “She’s still got some good left in her.’’

them and shouldn’t be returned without consent.

“Some believe they are their property and they’re not willing to relinquish them even to the ancestral home from where they came,’’ Papa said.

Hippolite estimates that recovering all the known remains could take another decade or two.

Wednesday’s ceremony at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts marked the fifth and last Canadian head to be returned from a museum in this country, said Nathalie Bondil, the museum’s director.

The other heads, located at the Canadian Museum of Civilization and the Royal Ontario Museum, were returned in 2008.

The Montreal artifact dates back to the 19th century.

It was briefly on display at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts between 1982 and 1984.

Since then, the head has been in storage and, last year, the Montreal institution’s board voted unanimously to return it.

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco shed a vestige of its free-spirited past as local lawmakers narrowly approved a citywide ban on public nudity.

Casting aside complaints that forcing people to cover up would undermine San Francisco’s reputation as a city without inhibitions, the Board of Supervisors voted 6-5 on Tuesday in favour of an ordinance that prohibits exposed genitals in most public places, including streets, sidewalks and public transit.

Boos filled the board’s chambers after the vote. Gypsy Taub, a nudist activist who organized naked protests and marches in the weeks leading up to the meeting, disrobed in protest before sheriff’s deputies escorted her from the room.

A federal lawsuit seeking to block the ban already has been filed.

Supervisor Scott Wiener introduced the ban in response to escalating complaints about a group of men whose bare bodies are on display almost daily in the city’s predominantly gay Castro District. He said at Tuesday’s meeting that he resisted for almost two years, but finally felt compelled to act.

“It’s no longer an occasionally

and quirky part of San Francisco.

Rather, in the Castro, it’s pretty much seven days a week,’’ Wiener said. “It’s very much a, ‘Hey, look what I have’ mentality.’’

Wiener’s opponents on the board said a citywide ban was unnecessary and would draw police officers’ attention away from bigger problems.

Supervisor John Avalos also expressed concerns about what the ordinance would do to San Francisco’s image.

“We are a beacon of light to other parts of the country, and sometimes there is a little bit of weirdness about how we express ourselves,’’ Avalos said.

Exemptions to the ban would be made for participants at permitted street fairs and parades, such as the city’s annual gay pride event and the Bay-to-Breakers street run, which often draws participants in costumes or various states of undress.

Under Wiener’s proposal, a first offence would carry a maximum penalty of a $100 fine, but prosecutors would have authority to charge a third violation as a misdemeanour punishable by up to a $500 fine and a year in jail.

The law still must pass a final vote and secure Mayor Edwin Lee’s signature to take effect early next year.

John Robert MacDonald January 19, 1936 - November 19, 2012 It was a major shock to his family and friends when Johnny succumbed to liver cancer one month after his diagnosis. He was predeceased by his parents Bert and Ruby MacDonald and granddaughter Grace Beattie. He is survived by his wife Karen; his daughter Christine (Scott) Beattie, granddaughters and grandson Hope, Noa and Fynn Beattie; his son Richard (Kristin) and granddaughters Skylar, Mackenzie and Sierra; brother Gary (Donna) and cousin Lynn Gartside (Richard).

Johnny was a true Cranbrook boy as his father and grandfather were both born here. In his work as a provincial district gas inspector, he travelled up and down the East Kootenay Valley. He loved skiing, golfing and spending time at the cabin at Moyie Lake. He particularly loved having coffee with the guys at Arbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. He enjoyed building models and tugboats were his specialty. He loved the many cruises that he and Karen shared as long as it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take him away from his beloved cats Katie and Kisa for more that a couple weeks. He was a member of the Cranbrook Masonic Lodge and past president of the Shrine Club.

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.
