Two people, a male and a female, have been sent to Calgary by air after a

bear attack near L.D. Ranch Road late Sunday afternoon, Nov. 25, 2012.

The victims, a male close to 80 years old, and a female in her late 50s, were air-lifted to Foothills Hospital in Calgary, where they were listed in stable condition on Monday.

Dr. Gabor Maté and Krystal Oleson of Liferoots Consulting. Dr. Maté gave a two-day seminar in Cranbrook Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 21 and 22, on stress, ADD and addiction.

Residents of Cranbrook and the East Kootenay got the chance to hear a best-selling author and highly sought-after speaker on the subject of physical and mental health last week.

Dr. Gabor Maté put on a two-day seminar at the Heritage Inn last Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 21 and 22, on the subjects of stress in our society and Attention Deficit Disorder and addiction.

Dr. Maté is a Hungarian-born Canadian physician who specializes in the study and treatment of addiction. He is widely recognized for his unique perspective on Attention Deficit Disorder and his firmly held belief in the connection between mind and body health.

“The war on drugs is really a war on drug addicts,” Maté said during his first presentation on Wednesday evening. “Most addicts—male and female—were traumatized sexually in childhood. They need help, not incarceration.”

Krystal Oleson, who operates Life Roots Consulting in Cranbrook, had the chance to bring Maté in for the seminars and jumped at it.

“I thought it was a great opportunity to give people in our community a perspective on physical and mental health that would be different from the standard, and also be consistent with what I do,” Oleson said. “The Heritage Inn was the perfect venue and they were really helpful and accommodating.”

Life Roots Consulting offers parents, caregivers and professionals opportunities to understand their children from a developmental point of view, based on the works of Dr. Gordon Neufeld and Dr. Maté.

Oleson, in fact, brought Neufeld into Cranbrook last year for a seminar, and he and Maté have collaborated on a book (Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers).

“I reference (Dr. Maté’s) material all the time in my classes,” Oleson said.

Almost 300 people took in Maté’s Cranbrook talks.

On Wednesday evening, his subject was “Fostering Health in a Stressed Society: The social basis of illness and well-being.” Maté spoke about the impact of our materialistic society on our health and development and on our children’s health and development.

“When a developing brain is overwhelmed with stress hormones it creates developmental problems,” Maté said. “And developmental problems are not diseases.”

He explained that Western medical studies are confirming what traditional cultures have long known, that stress is at the root of most disease.

“Chronic stress is bad,” Maté said. “Too much of the stress hormone adrenalin raises blood pressure, and a high cortisol level over a long term is the major factor in the development of osteoporosis.”

One interesting note about stress hormones Maté shared is that taking a deep breath (whether you count to ten or not) instantly clears them from the bloodstream, thereby increasing health.

On Thursday evening, Maté’s topic was “From ADD to Addictions: Understanding the Links, Causes and Treatments.”

Maté described how Attention Deficit Disorder and addictions are linked, and how most of it is rooted in childhood.

“The child has two needs,” he said. “Attachment, the pursuit of closeness for the purpose of being taken care of, and authenticity, to know what we feel and be able to manifest it when necessary.”

Oleson said she has great feedback from attendees. “People who went have been deeply impacted,” she said. “I even had someone phone me this morning, saying they’ve been processing it for two days, and are seeing the addiction in someone they know through different eyes.

“That’s what we wanted to achieve.”

Maté is the author of four best-selling books: In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction, Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers (co-authored with developmental psychologist Gordon Neufeld), When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress, and Scattered Minds: A New Look at the Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder. The latter two have become bestsellers, translated into nine languages.

Hundreds gather at ManWoman send-off BARRY COULTER Townsman Editor

ManWoman is dead, long live ManWoman.

That was the closing sentiment voiced by the master of ceremonies at Saturday’s tribute to the late Cranbrook artist, writer and spiritual visionary, who died Nov. 13.

ManWoman gained international renown and not a little notoriety through his prolific and individualistic art and his 40year quest to reclaim the spiritual significance of the ancient swastika symbol from its usurpation by the Nazis.

More than 300 people donned yellow armbands to attend the event at the Prestige Inn in Cranbrook to hear and tell how the artist influenced people in the community and abroad.

The walls of the Prestige Inn ballroom were hung with some of ManWoman’s more

notable paintings, many from the collection of Infinity Solstice of the Golden area. Mr. Solstice also provided live keyboard music

and vocals for the occasion.

Richard Leesman served as master of ceremonies.

The celebration of ManWoman’s life began with a slide show, prepared by Brian Clarkson, showing images of ManWoman from infancy through to recent months. Several friends and colleagues then spoke.

Kimberley artist Tony Austin read a recent ManWoman poem “Silly Old Man.” Candace Wilson read missives from friends and admirers in Ireland and Denmark, who spoke of how ManWoman’s swastika campaign had influenced them and had taken root in Europe.

Robin Wiseman of Nelson read the poem “Touch My Face Chant.” And Chris Sobczak of Cranbrook, a friend and colleague in the Mankind Project, read a letter from ManWoman’s friend Starchild, who told of how ManWoman recognized Starchild’s own inner struggle and helped him with it.

Bears, cougars still active From Page 1 Most commonly garbage, fruit that was not removed from trees and bird feeders are the attractants, she says.

“There are bears with cubs in Marysville, Chapman Camp, and downtown. Bear tracks have been seen in the snow in many places in Kimberley.”

McInnis says she imagines there are bears active in Cranbrook as well.

Cougars are also active in town, she says.

“There have been quite a few cougar sightings in the past few weeks -— notably in Marysville and in Lower Blarchmont areas.

Quan Yin Lynne Williams of Spokane, a colleague in the international Sufi community, spoke of how ManWoman was true to himself, and by hiding nothing within himself changed everyone he met. She then read the poem “Death is Warm.”

Tracy McGuire read four dreams from ManWoman’s last days, which he had written down.

And Infinity Solstice read the poem “Drunken Apples.”

People in attendence were invited to share memories of ManWoman and many did, emphasizing his fearlessness and irreverence. As one example, Kathy Simon of Kathy’s Kitchen related a story of how ManWoman dressed her shop window with a “Jesus’ lunchbox” display — one of her earliest such displays — which caused no small kafluffle.

CO’s will not track and destroy grizzly From Page 1 A deer kill was located within five metres of the attack location.

There was some initial confusion as to whether the bear was a grizzly, or a brown-coloured black bear.

“It is believed that the attack was defensive and based on evidence at the scene, it is believed it was a grizzly with at least one cub,” said Cpl. Pat Prefontaine of the Kimberley/ Cranbrook Detachment.

“From what we understand, the female hiker yelled at the bears and began to run,” Caravetta said. “The sow chased her and knocked her down. The man had a walking stick and he tried to save her. Then the bear attacked him.”

Caravetta says somehow the badly injured pair managed to make it to the road and get help.

“They each had several bites to the legs, groin, head and arms. Both victims were badly injured and distraught,” he said. He added that the male hiker initially reported that the bear was not a grizzly but did have two cubs.

CO’s confirmed that it was a grizzly later in the day.

“We can definitely now confirm it was a grizzly from tracks in the snow and mud,” Caravetta said. “The cub or cubs were young, born this spring.”

He said it was impossible to tell if there were one or two cubs, but the male hiker did report two cubs.

Conservation Officers were on the scene all day and Caravetta said that the bear had not been back to the site of the attack.

“That is common for a bear that has been traumatized,” he said. “The victims were traumatized but the bear was frightened too. The bear has left the area and we have made the decision that we will not track it. The bear was exhibiting normal be-

We canvassed neighbours all day. She’s been raising her cubs since spring with no problems. Based on that, we made the decision that we will not destroy her.”

He says the RCMP were called initially, who then called the CO’s.

Sgt. Laurie Jalbert of the Kimberley/Cranbrook RCMP Detachment said that police were still a little unclear how the couple was rescued but said the call for help, first to BC Ambulance, then to the RCMP came from someone other than the victims.

Jalbert said the hikers are experienced outdoors people.

Caravetta says that the couple had apparently been out of town for a few weeks and just got home and decided to go for a walk.

The bear was believed to be in the Cherry Creek/Meadowbrook area and caution is urged for anyone traveling in the wooded portions of this area.

While CO’s will not track the bear, they do ask that anyone who sees a sow grizzly with one or two cubs in the Meadowbrook Cherry Creek area, call the Conservation Officer Service RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277.

Road work wraps up at Cranbrook overhead Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

MLA for Kootenay East Bill Bennett was in the riding last week to announce the completion of a crucial asphalt resurfacing project on the Cranbrook/Fort Steele overhead.

Highway 3/95 leading out of Cranbrook towards Fort Steele had six kilometres resurfaced this fall between the Cranbrook

overhead and the Fort Steele overhead.

While drivers will enjoy a smoother ride, behind the scenes work was done to improve the road bed and strengthen the road base.

The project cost $1.5 million and was completed by Okanagan Aggregates of Armstrong B.C. Also completed was 16 kilometres of resurfacing on High-

way 43 in the Elk Valley near Line Creek Road for a total cost of $4.5 million in road improvement in the East Kootenay.

“Both of these highways were starting to show the signs of the wear and tear our heavy traffic volume causes,” Bennett said. “The resurfacing work, although it cost $4.5 million, is well worth it because now these much-used roads are safer for all of us.”

Cranbrook men place third in world endurance race Local team crawled through live wires, waded through icy pools, and ran over fire in New Jersey championship competition

Tre vor Cr awley Townsman Staff

Four local endurance racers have returned to Cranbrook with third place honours after competing in the world’s toughest obstacle course in New Jersey.

Mike Honeyman, Joe Detta, Miles Chisholm and Matt Johnson braved a 10-mile course littered with 39 obstacles over a 24-hour time period to place third at the World’s Toughest Mudder race.

The four unwittingly qualified for the event by finishing with a good enough time at a previous race near San Francisco at the end of September.

“It was tough,” said Honeyman. “It was a lot different than the one we did in San Francisco.

That one was tough, but this was a whole new level of tough.”

“Our game plan was to go out and just pace ourselves, take it easy,” continued Detta. “We’re old-timers, we didn’t want to go to sleep and try to get up stiff and sore and get going again, so we just wanted to walk the whole night and that’s what we did.”

The four ended the race completing five laps that covered 50 miles and included 160 obstacles.

Some challenges included climbing over 10-foot walls, swimming through pools of water, crawling through mud and crossing pits of mud on a balance beam.

Like the story of the hare and the tortoise, the four elected to take things slow and steady, to conserve as much en-

ergy as possible without gassing themselves right away.

However, it was tough watching people running past them at the beginning of the race, said Detta.

“We were getting a bit antsy, but it’s a 24hour race and a lot of those people who ripped by us, they were done, they didn’t make it the whole way,” said Detta. “… Some guys went out hard and couldn’t finish, some guys petered out. On the last lap, we made over two miles on that third place team to catch them and pass them.”

“When we came around that last mile, we just gave ‘er,” Johnson added.

“We just ran and tried to finish off as best we could, and in that last mile, we passed another team that put us into third place and they finished four minutes behind us.”

The race had pretty fair weather during the day, but temperatures dipped down to below freezing at night.

“The first two laps were fun. I found them fun, they were more challenging, the sun was out and I thought, ‘Hey, this is awesome, this is a piece of cake,’” said Detta.

“The second one [lap] was kind of the same thing, but as soon as the sun went down and fatigue was setting in, it was not fun.”

Johnson added that the nighttime freezing temperatures added an extra degree of difficulty to obstacles.

on the course, was the temperature and the constant drain of temperature from the boy from the water,” Chisholm said.

“Even a little bit of wind was sucking temperature from the body, so I think, for most people, that threat of hypothermia and the drain of temperature from the body was the hardest part.”

The four slogged through the night and made a game plan going into the dawn, according to Detta.

“Going into the fourth lap, we came up with a game plan on how to get through the next couple of laps and that involved the sun coming up and our families showing up to support us, which was huge,” he said.

The course was designed so that spectators could tag along with the racers, and the four leaned on their families and girlfriends to give them a boost when times got tough.

“Especially at 6:30 a.m. in the morning, when they showed up at the track, we come

“The wooden platforms and anything that we needed to climb over was slick or slippery.”

Those kind of condi-

Wood stove exchange program boosted for 2013 Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

Wildsight is continuing with its wood stove exchange program after a contribution of $13,500 from the Provincial Wood Stove Exchange Program.

Erna Jensen-Shill said the funding will help the group continue to provide the service for home owners looking to make the air around them a little cleaner.

“Wildsight is looking forward to continuing our work on the Wood Stove Exchange program in 2013, with a focus on the communities of Cranbrook and Kimberley, and sur-

“We had ice on the water, we were trying to swim across and breaking through a skim of ice and all the obstacles around the water were frozen solid, so the cargo nets were really

rounding regions,” Jensen-Shill said.

The funding is being dolled out in a number of communities in the province for a total of $192,000.

The program has been in place since 2008 when the B.C. government partnered with the BC Lung Association. It encourages home owners to bring in their old model wood stoves and exchange them for a new, cleaner burning model.

The province estimates there are 116,000 older stoves working in the province, but the province has seen 5,000 of them replaced.

“The wood stove exchange

program is a wonderful way of working towards improving air quality, along with education components focusing on the importance of good appliances, seasoned fire wood, and proper burning techniques in optimizing the efficiency of wood heat, while minimizing adverse effects on air quality,” Jensen-Shill said.

The province is also informing residents that using dry, well-seasoned wood can improve the efficiency of your existing stove by providing 15 per cent more heat.

Burning small, very hot fires will limit the smoke, ensure that all fuel is used up and keep

your home from smelling of wood smoke.

Having your wood burning appliances inspected yearly by a certified technician is also important.

“It is important to replace old wood stoves with newer, cleaner burning models, not just for air quality but also for personal health,” said Bill Bennett, MLA for Kootenay East.

“That’s why the BC Lung Association supports the Provincial Wood Stove Exchange Program, which I hope will encourage many homeowners to upgrade their stoves.”

climbing over this one obstacle, our heads peer over the top and here they are standing there and cheering us on,” said Johnson.

“It just made a whole new thing happen for us. It was awesome.”

The team had about four weeks to prepare for the race, after finding out they qualified when they blitzed through the Tough Mudder race near San Francisco.

They knew the toughest part of the race would be at night, and did a lot of training between the two races to prepare.

“We all work 10-12 hours a day, and then at night time, we training another 6-7 hours at night, so those are long days, both mentally at work and physically out training, I think it helped us big time,” said Johnson.

The team was outfitted by Rob Porter at Just Liquid, and had support from Core Fitness, Rocky Mountain Academy of Martial Arts, Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club, Arrow Installations and Freightliner.

Poverty of politics continues B.C.’s ritual day of shame over child poverty has come and gone once again, with politicians trading blame and time-worn talking points.

The occasion was an annual gathering staged at the B.C. Teachers’ Federation office in downtown Vancouver. It is organized

by First Call, an umbrella group sponsored by the BCTF, the B.C. Government Employees’ Union and a collection of like-minded “anti-poverty activists,” as they describe themselves in their latest report.

The familiar script unfolded. The report misinterprets federal income statistics from two years ago and calls for a long list of uncosted, but hugely expensive measures that they assert will make B.C. the first jurisdiction in human history to eradicate poverty.

A sampling: provide raises for employees and contractors at all levels of government until they are making an unspecified “living wage,” because we all know how public sector workers uniquely suffer from pay and pension inequality.

Raise the minimum wage again and index it to inflation. Establish universal public dental care, prescription drug and eye care programs, and daycare. (Dismiss targeted programs that already provide this.)

Raise welfare rates and expand eligibility for employment insurance. Cut tuition and provide more student grants. Eliminate

homelessness.

And so it continues toward a socialist Utopia and certain bankruptcy for provincial and federal governments already deeply in the red.

I wrote about these numbers when Statistics Canada released them back in June.

They showed a modest improvement nationally and provincially in what they measure, which is not poverty, but the relative relationship between income groups. First Call dismisses that improvement as “a dismal record.”

BC VIEWS My point is not to deny Tom that there are many poor people in B.C. and Canada.

Fletcher There are. But at this point we don’t even have a reliable way of measuring the problem, let alone effective solutions.

The report states: “Statistics Canada said the child poverty rate in Greater Vancouver was 18.4 per cent in 2010 …” No, Statistics Canada didn’t say that. They said what they always say, that “Low-Income Cut-Off,” or LICO figures, are not an accurate measure of poverty.

The political response was equally predictable. Veteran NDP MP Libby Davies led the charge in Ottawa. The government must establish a national anti-poverty strategy with firm annual goals, she said, reciting the identical script of the B.C. NDP. Davies didn’t mention that Manitoba is among the provinces with such a plan. It’s the only province that finished below B.C.

in the percentage of children living in low-income homes. These plans are mainly gesture politics, providing the appearance of action.

Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux spoke on behalf of the B.C. Liberal government, and she, too, stuck to a familiar script. The best path out of poverty is a job, she said. This is true, but also obvious.

Then Cadieux went on about the “B.C. Jobs Plan,” which has its own sorry record of misrepresented federal statistics.

Here’s one of the report’s more blindingly obvious section headings: “Child poverty concentrated in big cities.” No kidding. The whole population is concentrated in big cities.

Herein lies a clue that is missed by “activists” for ever-larger government. Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places.

If I’m on welfare or working in a lowwage job and receiving a provincial rent subsidy (one of those things LICO doesn’t measure), should I live in downtown Victoria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller community where housing is cheaper?

There are lots of complications to this, but some kind of incentive to relocate could help big and small communities.

Opinion/Events

I was sorry to see William Hills’ attack on the work by a group opposed to the culling of our urban deer. I don’t want the deer culled and I think it’s valid to look at other methods of reducing conflicts between people and deer. Especially ones that apparently cost less, are more humane, and work better. Which is all that urban wildlife group and its founder, Colleen Bailey, are trying to do.

But given the beauty of gardens I’ve seen that feature plants deer dislike, and noticing they are quite intact, I was particularly surprised that Mr. Hills viewed their suggestion to prohibit the planting of cedar trees, which deer love to eat, as “alien and antidemocratic.”

What silly nonsense. We are already prohibited from planting certain plant species in the name of the public good. For example, marijuana

is certainly prohibited. So are other plants either because of the risk they pose to the environment, or to farming, or because they create allergies.

Just drive around our beautiful region and you’ll see all kinds of signs about needing to control certain plant species because of the effect they have on our environment. Why not control plants that have an affect of drawing deer into our urban landscape?

As we constantly push our

town expansions into deer habitat, we have a responsibility to govern ourselves accordingly. We’re supposed to be the more intelligent species. In the social good, if deer are so unwelcome, surely it makes sense not to attract them with yummy plants and then deliver the death penalty for daring to do what comes naturally which is to eat!

So was Morsi a wolf in sheep’s clothing, racy advocate and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohammed ElBaradei. “There is no just waiting for the chance to impose Isroom for dialogue when a dictator imposes lamic rule on everybody, including liberthe most oppressive, abhorrent measures als, Christians, and secular Egyptians?

What is happening now, therefore, is not the rise of a new dictatorship but rather a ruthless political manoeuvre aimed at creating a democratic but Islamic Egypt.

Naturally, it frightens a large proportion of the 49 percent of Egyptians who voted against Morsi in the presidential election earlier this year, and it absolutely terrifies the country’s 8 million Christians.

Morsi’s edict has been met with impassioned protest in the streets, and the formation of a National Salvation Front aimed at uniting all non-Islamist groups to force Morsi to rescind his edicts. Its leaders include three of the candidates who ran against Morsi in the election earlier this year. But that may not be enough.

The truth is that the elections produced a parliamentary majority and a president who want to impose Islamic law, and that its opponents are using various legal devices in an attempt to stop the process. Moreover, a new constitution imposing Islamic law would almost certainly get a “yes” in a referendum.

But the other truth is that majorities in a democracy should not try to impose their religious and social views on large minorities who do not share them. Morsi is already showing signs of wanting to compromise – but, as ElBaradei pointed out, he cannot take these extreme measures and then offer to “split the difference.” Egypt is in for a rough ride.

Generic drug costs to drop in April Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is moving ahead with a new price policy for generic drugs that will reduce the cost by 10 per cent starting April 1.

The new policy sets the price of generic substitutes at 25 per cent of the brand-name product, whether the cost is paid by the B.C. Pharmacare program, private health insurance or the patient. A further reduction to 20 per cent is set to take effect in April 2014.

The health ministry cited the example of Lipitor, a widely prescribed drug for reducing cholesterol. A one-month supply of the brand-name drug costs $55, and in April the cost of a generic equivalent will go from $19 to $15. The 2014 decrease will take it to $11 a month.

Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said the second reduction will make B.C. generic drug prices the lowest in Canada for some drugs, and save the Pharmacare program

about $110 million over the first two years. Ontario went to a 25-per-cent formula two years ago, and has since reduced the price to 20 per cent.

The provincial savings will be reinvested in the B.C. health care system, some of it in Pharmacare, MacDiarmid said. The budget for Pharmacare has risen by about 80 per cent in the past decade, but MacDiarmid said there have been offsetting savings as new drugs improve treatment and reduce the need for surgery.

NDP health critic Mike Farnworth said the B.C. Liberal government has made the right move, but it should have done it in 2010 when Ontario took action.

Now some of the savings are at risk again as the federal government negotiates a trade agreement with the European Union, Farnworth said. European developers of brandname drugs are seeking to extend patent protection to prevent the sale of generics for a longer period.

Avs return home from tough road trip TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The road was not kind to both Avalanche volleyball teams this weekend, as the men and women were blanked

by Camosun College and Vancouver Island University.

The Avs ran into some tough competition during their excursion to the Island, dropping all four matches to tough teams to close out their fall semester schedule.

The trip started off with a stop at VIU, where the men lost 3-1 on Thursday and 3-0 on Friday, while the women were blanked 3-0 in both matches.

Rolling into the weekend, the Camosun College Chargers put up a fight, dumping the men 3-0 on Saturday and 3-1 on Sunday, while the women took a set away in each match, with a final scores of 3-1.

The men fell to fifth place, two points behind Capilano

University, while the women have nowhere to go but up, and are two points behind Douglas College Royals.

Despite the record, some of the matches were very close.

The men were within a few points in a couple sets in their last match against Camosun, while the women put up a scrap against the Chargers on Saturday, winning the first set, and playing within a few points of the following three.

The women, which struggled with their last few matches, failed to pull off a win during the trip, which was a little frustrating because they played very well for the most part, according to head coach Agata Bendkowska.

“You could tell that every that everyone was tired and we could not focus longer than five minutes,” said Bendkowska, regarding her team’s first game. “The next day, everybody showed up, ready to go, they went hard against VIU.” Despite the score, the rematch was tense, as the Avs traded VIU point for point, before the Mariners earned the win by pulling away at the end of each set.

“We lost, but that second loss was a good loss,” added Bendkowska. “We lost to a good team, we were fighting and we showed them that it’s not easy to beat the College of the Rockies.”

Camosun proved to be an-

other formidable challenge, and the women’s Avs responded in kind, playing well against their opponents, but the Chargers ended up with the wins.

“I’m not disappointed, but I couldn’t find what was missing,” said Bendkowska. “We started a little slower, but then we picked it up really quickly and played really well. “…I think that they struggled a bit mentally. The pressure that they had was a little too much and they could not relax. That pressure was too much for them, but physically and technically, it was good volleyball, they were doing exactly what they should be doing.”

The teams will practice together for the next week or two before breaking for the Christmas holiday. The Avs open the spring semester at home by hosting Camosun College, who will make the trip into the Kootenays.

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

The NHL and NHL Players’ Association are hoping some objective voices can help bring an end to their labour dispute.

With negotiations stalled on a new collective bargaining agreement, the sides have agreed to allow U.S. federal mediators into the process - something they tried without success on a couple of occasions prior to the cancellation of the 2004-05 season.

“While we have no particular level of expec-

tation going into this process, we welcome a new approach in trying to reach a resolution of the ongoing labour dispute at the earliest possible date,” deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Monday.

Added NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr: “We look forward to their involvement as we continue working to reach an equitable agreement for both the players and the owners.”

The mediation will be non-binding, meaning the sides will not be forced to go along with

suggestions or recommendations made by Scot L. Beckenbaugh and John Sweeney.

Those mediators are scheduled to meet separately with the league and union on Wednesday.

Beckenbaugh was acting director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service during the NHL’s last lockout and sat in on sessions at that time. One of those occurred just three days before commissioner Gary Bettman cancelled the entire season in February 2005.

The latest round of negotiations has seemed troubled from the start.

The NHL and NHLPA haven’t met since last week, when the union tabled a proposal that Bettman quickly labelled as one that left the sides “far apart.”

They’ve managed to reach some common ground with both proposing a 50-50 split of revenues throughout the agreement, but are divided on the amount of additional payments the league will make to help ease the transition. The NHL has offered $211

million while the NHLPA asked for $393 million.

There are also a variety of rules relating to player contracts that still need to be sorted out.

Further complicating matters is the fact both sides have said their best proposal is already on the table. “Any expectation that the offer is going to get better as time goes on is not realistic,” Bettman said last week.

Mediation has been used in virtually every labour dispute involving pro sports leagues in recent years.

Beckham ‘overdelivered’ on promises: MLS boss RONALD BLUM Associated Press

NEW YORK - Don Garber says David Beckham did everything Major League Soccer asked of him to grow the sport in the United States during his 5 1/2 seasons with the Los Angeles Galaxy.

The 37-year-old former England captain plays his final competitive match for the Galaxy on Saturday in the MLS Cup against Houston.

When Beckham left Real Madrid in 2007 to sign a $32.5 million, five-

year deal with the Galaxy, Beckham said he wanted to win and increase the league’s popularity both domestically and abroad. The Galaxy won last year’s title and are in the final for the third time in four years.

“I don’t think anybody would doubt that he has overdelivered on every one of those measures,” Garber said during a telephone conference call Monday, his annual state of the league session as commissioner.

“There’s arguably not a soccer fan on this planet

that doesn’t know the LA Galaxy and Major League Soccer, and David played a significant role in helping us make that happen.

He was an unbelievable ambassador for the league, for the Galaxy.”

The league’s regular season attendance average increased from 15,504 in 2006 to 17,872 in 2011 and a record 18,807 this year. After Beckham’s arrival, the league announced expansion teams that started play in San Jose (2008), Seattle (2009), Philadelphia (2010),

Vancouver and Portland (2011), and Montreal (2012), increasing the total to 19.

Following Beckham’s arrival, ground was broken for soccer-specific stadiums in Houston, Kansas City and Philadelphia, the long-delayed venue in New Jersey was completed, and extensive renovations took place in Montreal, Portland and Vancouver.

Television exposure improved, but only slightly.

“We needed David Beckham in 2007 to help drive our credibility, to

help grow our popularity and to show the world really that the United States ... was ready to support a division one league,” Garber said. “We don’t need anything today to get us to the next level. It’s a wide variety of initiatives, from player development, from continued investment in our overall player pool, to better and more focused marketing, to smart expansion to a transformation into a digital world where our games are even more available than they are today.”

Grey Cup ratings soar in English Canada but fall short of national record C anadian Press

TORONTO - Television ratings for the 100th Grey Cup game between the Toronto Argonauts and the Calgary Stampeders fell short of the modern national record set in 2009, according to overnight data from BBM Canada.

An average audience of 5.8 million viewers on TSN and RDS tuned in to see the Argonauts beat the Stampeders 35-22 at home.

The average of 5.5 million viewers on TSN is the largest English audience for the game since a new ratings measurement system caused sports TV ratings to skyrocket. But the overall average falls short of the 6.1 million total viewers who

watched Montreal beat Saskatchewan shortly after the new system was introduced in 2009. The numbers for that game were buoyed by a larger audience on French-language RDS. The overall numbers for the 100th Grey Cup are up 28 per cent from the 4.6 million viewers who tuned in to see B.C. beat Winnipeg in last year’s final in Vancouver.

The ratings for the Vanier Cup were also released Monday, with an average of 910,000 viewers tuning in to see Laval rout McMaster 37-14 in the Canadian university football championship. That was up 38 per cent from the 660,000 viewers who tuned in last year.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My mother is in her late 90s. She insists on covering her kitchen counters with newspaper, including the areas right next to the electric cooktop and the microwave. My mother does not see this as a fire risk. She thinks it is keeping a clean house.

The last time I cleaned her kitchen, I was disgusted by the small insects and bits of food that were trapped between the newspaper sections. Her housekeeper simply goes along with her wishes and leaves the newspapers where they are.

But, Annie, if this paper catches fire, Mom would never make it out of the house alive.

I am not sure why she insists on putting her food on top of newsprint. She says newspapers are sterile. But the paper is handled by many people and sits in delivery trucks that are hardly spotless. Those who deliver it aren’t wearing rubber gloves.

All of this escapes my mother’s attention, and she just piles the papers on her counters, which are, by the way, in great shape because she never actually uses them.

Mom reads your column every day and follows your advice. I am out of options. -A Caring Daughter Who Is Making Herself Sick Over This Dear Daughter: Has Mom always lined her countertops with newsprint? If she’s been eating ink and bugs for more than 90 years, we assume she has a strong immune system. Also, her eyesight might not be as good as it once was, and she might not see the smeared ink and small insects. Your focus should be on the fire hazard. Any paper that rests near an electric cooktop (or any cooktop) is a risk. Mom -- if you’re reading this, please wash your countertops instead of covering them with old newspapers. Your daughter wants you to be healthy and safe. So do we.

Dear Annie: I have worked hard all of my life and now find that I am financially very well off and can afford to be generous with my money.

Since I believe charity begins at home, I sent two $1,000 checks to two nieces who are going to college. It has been more than a month, and I have not heard anything from them. I even emailed the mother of one, thinking the check had gotten lost because it wasn’t cashed. It was then deposited, but still no thank-you note.

I also sent a check to a friend who has been down on her luck. She called me immediately to thank me. I sent her a second check and again received an immediate thank you. I would have sent my nieces another check if they had acknowledged the original gift.

I am disheartened to think I have such ungrateful relatives. How do I handle this disappointment? -- Frustrated in Michigan Dear Michigan: Please recognize that it’s quite possible these girls have never written a thank-you note and were not taught that it is appropriate and expected.

Here is your opportunity to teach them.

Contact each girl individually and ask whether she received the gift and liked it.

It’s OK to say that you were disappointed not to hear from them, because it made them appear ungrateful and surely that was not their intent. We think they will fall all over themselves thanking you, as well they should.

Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from “Don’t Do Business with Friends,” whose husband and best friend went into business together and it didn’t turn out well.

Please remind your readers never to enter into a partnership with anyone, including friends and family, without having a partnership agreement that spells out exactly what will happen if the partnership is terminated. A written contract will save a lot of headaches -- and in many cases heartache -- when it’s time to part ways. -Reader in Kentucky Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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

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

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

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford blames conspiracy for court-ordered ouster Colin Perkel Canadian Press

TORONTO — A subdued but still defiant Mayor Rob Ford blamed a left-wing conspiracy for his court-ordered ouster Monday, pledging to fight “tooth and nail’’ against a possibly unprecedented ruling that booted him from office for violating conflict of interest rules.

In fact, the Toronto mayor said, if he loses in the courts, he would go straight to the court of public opinion.

“I’m a fighter. If there’s a byelection, my name will be the first one on the ballot,’’ Ford told a crush of journalists shortly after the judicial ruling.

“This comes down to left-wing politics. The left wing wants me out of here, and they’ll do anything in their power to (do that).’’

The legal action was launched by businessman Paul Magder, who argued the mayor violated the rules when he took part in a council vote over repayment of $3,150 in donations he had solicited for his private football foundation using official city letterhead.

In a damning 24page decision, Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland slammed Ford for “wilful blindness’’ that could not be excused as a simple slipup, especially from someone in his leadership role.

“It is difficult to accept an error-in-judgment defence based essentially on a stubborn sense of entitlement (concerning his football foundation) and a dismissive and confrontational attitude to the integrity commissioner and the ‘code of con-

duct’,’’ Hackland said in his ruling.

“I declare the seat of the respondent Robert Ford on Toronto city council vacant.’’

Hackland could have barred Ford from running again for seven years, but instead opted to disqualify him for the “current term.’’

The judge put his declaration on hold for 14 days to give the city time to deal with the situation.

While Ford said supportive calls had been coming in to his office “fast and furious,’’ city resident Ken Garnum carried a sign outside city hall reading “Worst Mayor Ever:Goodbye.’’

Magder and his lawyer, Clayton Ruby, were tempered in declaring victory.

“We as citizens are responsible for each other, and that means standing up and doing what is right,’’ Magder said.

Ruby stressed the case was not about Ford trying to benefit personally or acting dishonestly, but about preserving the integrity of municipal government.

In 2010, Ford used his staff to help send out donation requests for his football fund and mail them out to donors, who had officially lobbied the city government. The mayor repeatedly ignored demands from the city’s integrity commissioner to repay the money.

When council took up the integrity commissioner’s order, Ford spoke and voted against the order despite having a financial interest in the matter, a violation of Municipal Conflict of Interest Act, Hackland ruled.

Ford has 30 days to appeal to Divisional Court.
