Sign bylaw open house draws huge turnout ANNALEE GR ANT Townsman Staff

The Draft Sign Bylaw open house was the most well attended City of Cranbrook public consultation session in recent memory, and frustrations were running high.

Over 60 people piled into the Manual Training School to hear from Rob Veg, senior planner for the City of Cranbrook. Councillors Bob Whetham, Denise Pallesen, Sharon Cross, Diana J. Scott and Gerry Warner were in attendance. Whetham is act-

ing mayor this week as Mayor Wayne Stetski is away.

Many of Cranbrook’s business people from car dealerships to franchisees to restaurateurs attended to voice their concerns about the city’s proposal to revamp the 30-year-old sign bylaw.

“This is probably one of the biggest crowds I’ve seen for any planning project,” Veg said.

Whetham told the Townsman Thursday he too was pleased with the turnout, and he is expecting some great feedback from local

businesses.

“It shows that there is a strong interest in the sign bylaw,” he said.

Veg stressed that any changes would be for new sign construction only, and the move to update the sign bylaw was a continuation of

the city’s efforts to increase beautification and aesthetics in Cranbrook. The 34-page bylaw covers a lot of ground, including sign height, construction and type. Veg said the bylaw is in need of an update because when it was written, many sign types that are used today did not exist.

Teck starts random testing, to union’s displeasure BARRY COULTER

BARRY COULTER PHOTO

Representatives of nine elementary schools in Cranbrook met with Captain Linda Green of the Salvation Army prior to Wednesday night’s Mass Christmas Choir concert. The 32nd annual concert served as a fundraising event for the Salvation Army, and raised $1,112. It was also the first time the event was held at the spacious Alliance Church. 18 of the 350 students who took part are pictured above with Captain Green: Sam Simmons and Hunter Lee (Kootenay Christian Academy); Lalita Stetski and Graydon Dawson (Steeples); Keenan Harris and Selena Libregts (Kootenay Orchards); Tristan Van Der Velden and Zack Van Der Velden (Amy Woodland); Savannah Simpson and Kimberley Willicome (T.M. Roberts); Christopher Hambalek and Santanna Prestia (Pinewood); Matthew Menning and Gabby Baker (St. Mary’s); Kelsey Elliott and Skylar Bell (Highlands); Victoria Marti and Cali Emel (Gordon Terrace).

The union representing workers at mines in the Elk Valley has come out against the decision by Teck Coal to implement random drug and alcohol testing.

The random testing policy was introduced across Teck’s coal operations in the Elk Valley on December 3..

The United Steelworkers Local 9346 said in a press releas that it “vigorously opposes the implementation of random testing as it violates worker’s privacy.”

The union has filed a grievance in B.C. Supreme Court, which has been referred to arbitration.

“Random testing is immoral, humiliating, degrading, and demeaning,” Local 9346 Union President Alex Hanson said.

seat church was filled.

The Mass Choir is composed of 350 students from all nine of Cranbrook’s elementary schools, and featured a selection of carols interspersed with readings from the gospels.

Arranging the choir on the stage of the church was no mean feat — organizers and students spent all of Wednesday morning at the task, but the intricate logistics were solved so that the layered entrance of the hundreds of singers went off without a hitch.

Alliance Church volunteers were also at work in the parking lots — no small feat of logistics in itself. Hundreds of cars filled up the church parking lot, both sides of nearby streets and even across Kootenay Street into the ball diamond parking areas.

Conductors for the event were: Patti Radies, Christina Blaskovich, Scott Martin, Carla Erichsen, Kim Lutz and Larry Dureski. Nancy Dyck was the piano accompanist, and Brent Reimer of School District 5 served as Master of Ceremonies.

Organizers sent out a special thank you to Cranbrook’s elementary music teachers and their assistants for the many hours of volunteer work.

The event was a fundraiser for the Salvation Army, collecting $1,112.

Spirited signs meeting draws engaged crowd Continued from page 1

The issue arose back in the spring when a local business owner came before council to ask that he be allowed to have an Electronic Changeable Copy (ECC) Sign, similar to the ones used at Western Financial Place and Mount Baker Secondary School. The city decided to open up the entire bylaw to review.

Under the proposed bylaw, ECC signs would be allowed under strict conditions. The signs can only change one time every 10 seconds and must not have flashing, scintillating, blinking, scrolling or travelling letters, symbols, images or messages.

Warner addressed the crowd and asked why businesses would bother investing in ECC signs with such conditions.

“If they’re going to be that restrictive, I don’t know why a business would want one,” he said.

The public urged the city to consider having the same regulations for the two ECC signs already in operation in the city as they are asking other businesses to have, even though they are already established.

Another hot topic was the prohibition of sandwich board signs – used extensively throughout Cranbrook, especially in the downtown core. One resident pointed out that the signs are a cost-effective way for businesses to advertise specials and get people in off the street.

Nicole Marchand from Maximum Impact Signs said the bylaw would eliminate a significant portion of her business by prohibiting dayglo fluorescent signs. The locally-owned company provides customers with the non-animated changeable text signs that have popped up along

Cranbrook Street in recent years. Under the proposed bylaw, businesses would have to apply for a permit to have one. It could then be displayed for only a month and then the business owner would have to wait three months to reapply for another permit.

The public also worried that a proposed change in sign height from the current 10 metres to six metres would put new businesses at a disadvantage because current signs would be deemed legal non-conforming. The bylaw states that as long as a sign is already there, it can continue to be repaired and will not have to conform to any new sign bylaw.

One business owner said he has spent tens of thousands of dollars on signage already, and would not want to lose that investment.

Roy Hales, director of corporate services, stressed that current signs would not have to change.

“All of your investment made in the signs you have already remains the same,” he said.

At the tail end of the bylaw are design guidelines that Veg said he encourages businesses consult when renovating their signs. He said they are not rules, but rather ideas for future signs.

“The guidelines are just that – guidelines,” he said.

Veg said the bylaw was simply a starting point for council to consider, and feedback from the community will be used to change or alter the bylaw.

The bylaw was drafted by city staff and the public consultations are held to gather that information.

“What we really want to encourage is for you to take the bylaw, give it a good read. We needed to

Annalee Grant photo

have something to present before we could solicit feedback,” Veg said.

“Please do take the time to make those comments.

I’m really happy that there’s this turnout.”

Pallesen addressed the crowd and said council is elected by the public, and open houses are extremely important. She encouraged the public to take advantage of the opportunity to speak out and provide their comments.

“Now I want you guys to do your part and tell us what you want,” she said.

Whetham said the open house was the first point of contact for the public on the draft bylaw and there must be a balance for businesses and the people passing through Cranbrook.

“How do they perceive travelling down the highway?” Whetham wondered. “Clearly we want businesses to be successful.”

Whetham said the bylaw is in need of an update, whether the bylaw remains as is or is modified after public consultation because there are new sign types being used in Cranbrook.

“There’s a number of types of signs that just weren’t in existence when the bylaw was created,” he said. “We need to find a way to address that issue.”

Jason Wheeldon, chair of the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce’s ad-hoc committee that has formed to review the new bylaw, asked the city to allow them sufficient time to collect all the information they need to present to council.

Comment forms will be accepted by the city until December 31. To get a form, contact Veg at veg@cranbrook.ca.

Drug transactions, seized weapons concern RCMP C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin

An example of signage featured on Cranbrook St. N.

FRIday, DECEmber 7, 2012

There has been another spate of drug arrests in Kimberley and Cranbrook, as the local RCMP Detachment continues its ongoing drug investigations.

Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley Detachment reports four successful drug seizures in Kimberley and Cranbrook where the primary drug seized was cocaine. However, police are concerned with a couple of trends accompanying the arrests.

“Police are concerned about the weapons found and the places these transactions are being conducted,” Newel said.

“Drug trafficking was found to be taking place at common businesses in both communities including stores, banks and near the Platzl in Kimberley.

They were also taking place during the day.”

• On November 20, a 51-year-old female from Moyie was arrested at a local convenience store. A search located two grams of cocaine on her person. Charges of Possession of a Controlled Drug for the Purpose of Trafficking are being recommended.

• On November 27, a 24-year-old male and 21-yearold female from Cranbrook were arrested near a bank in

“Those involved in the drug trade often have weapons to protect themselves or intimidate others, but it puts the public at risk.

During the use of these weapons any person young or old could be severely injured.”

Cpl. Chris Newel Cranbrook. They were in possession of two grams of cocaine.

They are facing trafficking charges.

• On November 28, a search warrant was executed on 4th Street NW in Cranbrook. A male and female were arrested and charges of Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking are being recommended. Inside police found two ounces of powder cocaine, almost one ounce of crack cocaine, a small amount of marihuana, cash and two police style batons.

• On December 1, a 21 year old male from Wycliffe was arrested near the Chamber of Commerce office in Kimberley.

Two grams of cocaine was

seized. Again charges of trafficking are being recommended.”

Cocaine is typically sold in one half and one gram increments, Newel said.

It is a concern to police, he said that these drug transactions are taking place at public places during daylight hours.

He says the individuals involved come to police attention from the public or other investigations.

“From that police conduct follow up and/or surveillance in order to gather further evidence. A arrest is made after police obtain sufficient evidence that an offence has taken place.”

A further concern is the weapons being found with some of these arrests. Newel says that the Cranbrook search warrant executed on November 28, resulted in two police-style batons being found. A previous search on November 7 produced a bat, bear spray a large machete and other items that could be used as a weapon.

“Those involved in the drug trade often have weapons to protect themselves or intimidate others, but it puts the public at risk. During the use of these weapons any person young or old could be severely injured.”

Union balks at Teck policy Continued from page 1 “This is a gross invasion and violation of workers privacy, shows a blatant disregard for the sanctity of the workers person, and completely obliterates the trust of the employer-employee relationship.”

“We have crossed the Rubicon to a place where workers are guilty until proven innocent, what a shameful day in the history of human freedom.”

But Teck said the new policy will reduce injuries and serve as a deterent.

“We take our obligation to provide the safest possible workplace for our employees very seriously and, as such, we strongly believe that taking measures to eliminate drug and alcohol abuse that can affect safety is an important way we can achieve our vision of everyone going home safe and healthy every day,” said Nic Milligan, Manager of Community and Aboriginal Affairs at Teck’s coal operations.

“Research has shown that random drug and alcohol testing is an effective way to deter the use of illegal drugs and the misuse of alcohol or prescription drugs in the workplace.

“For example, a study of the U.S. trucking industry showed that the implementation of random alcohol testing was connected to a 23 per cent reduction in fatal crashes involving large trucks,” Milligan said.

Teck said that of all pre-employment tests conducted in 2011, there were 39 failures.

The Steelworkers said the union attended a pre-order hearing for injunctive relief on November 25 prior to implementation of the policy. However, the hearing was adjourned by the arbitrator due to lack of available time to complete the hearing. The Steelworkers then applied to the BC Supreme Court for injunctive relief on November 28. The Arbitrator intervened on the BC Supreme

Courts to assert his jurisdiction over the case and ruled that Steelworkers could not apply to the courts for injunctive relief, the union said in a press release.

The pre-order hearing has yet to be completed and no ruling on Teck’s ability to implement random testing has been handed down.

Milligan added that a positive test is not a firing offence.

“Employees who test positive in a random drug and alcohol test will be given the opportunity to seek treatment paid for by Teck, upon completion of which they can return to work.”

The case is not an isolated one. A Suncor injunction against random drug and alcohol testing was recently upheld in the Alberta Queen’s Court Bench, the union said. As well, the Supreme Court of Canada was set to preside over a random alcohol testing case from New Brunswick later this week.

MBSS concert features Good Ol’ Goats Barry Coulter

The Mount Baker Secondary School is holding its annual Christmas concert on Wednesday, Dec. 12, at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook.

Music Director Evan Bueckert says there will be a couple of twists to this year’s event.

“The exciting thing about this year is that we’re going to break with tradition, and let each ensemble be featured on its own,” Bueckert said.

A concert last month featured all five of the music departments ensembles, he added, so the Christmas concert on Wednesday will feature the vocal ensembles, with special guests The Good Ol’ Goats.

The Mount Baker

Concert Choir, an ensemble of 120 students, will perform a cappella, with some piano accompaniment. The Goats will be accompanying the choir for one piece, which has been specially arranged. “We want people to come hear their spin on Christmas,” Bueckert said.

The Mount Baker Jazz Ensemble will also perform, with a rhythm section — piano, bass, drums and guitar, and amplification.

On Valentine’s Day in February, 2013, Bueckert said there will be a special concert for the instrumental ensembles.

“We’re going to make a special announcement (at Wednesday’s concert),” Bueckert said, “about our upcoming

ful first half season.

“With 2013 quickly approaching that means our 2012/13 Season is halfway done,” Smith said. “We’ve had a very successful season so far.

The Theatre has seen everything from Sloan, Barney Bentall, Grammy award winner Alison Brown to the bright new talent of Meaghan Smith, getting us ready for the holidays.”

There were also plenty of non-musical acts at the theatre this season, which many in this community will never forget.

“Along with the theatre’s shows, who could forget Toopy & Binoo, Dr. Jane Goodall, Silvia Brown, Stuart MacLean, just to name a few of our highlights,” Smith said.

Looking into the New

Year, the theatre is starting off 2013 with a bang on January 5 with the Banff Film Festival.

Bard in Your Backyard will return with a six-show run of Merchant of Venice on January 24, 25, 26, 31 and February 1 and 2. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $20.

Smith said the season was supported by many dedicated volunteers and sponsors.

The Key City updates their schedule regularly, and Smith said the theatre’s Facebook group is a great place to learn about events as soon as they are announced.

Memberships to the theatre are on sale now, and are a perfect gift for the theatre lover in your family.

Dead, Dead, Dead: Middle East ‘Peace Process’ It’s as if the world’s leaders were earnestly warning us that global warming will cause the extinction of the dinosaurs.

They’ve actually been dead for a long time already. So has the Middle East “peace process”.

As soon as Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced that Israel will build 3,000 homes on “East One” (E-1), the last piece of land connecting East Jerusalem with the West Bank that is not already covered with Jewish settlements, the ritual condemnations started to flow. Even U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that “these activities set back the cause of a negotiated peace,” and others went a lot further.

The British minister for the Middle East, Alistair Burt, warned that “the settlements plan ... has the potential to alter the situation on the ground on a scale that threatens the viability of a two-state solution.” France called in the Israeli ambassador and told him that “settlements are illegal under international law ... and constitute an obstacle to a fair peace based on a two-state solution.”

In almost all the media coverage, the Israeli announcement is explained as an angry response for the United Nations General Assembly’s vote last month to grant the Palestinian Authority permanent observer status at the UN, which is tantamount to recognising Palestine as an independent state. As if Netanyahu were an impulsive man who had just lost

his temper, not a wily strategist who thinks long-term.

Building in the “E-1” area, which covers most of the space between the Jewish settlements that ring East Jerusalem and the huge Jewish settlement of Maale Adumim in the Palestinian West Bank, is definitely a game-changer. It effectively separates the West Bank from East Jerusalem, the city that the Palestinians see as the capital of their future state.

It also almost cuts the Bank in two. But it’s Gwynne West not a new idea.

The Israeli government Dyer declared its intention to build on this land 14 years ago, when Netanyahu was prime minister for the first time. The plan was frozen in response to outraged protests from practically all of Israel’s allies, who had invested a great deal of political capital in the two-state solution. But it was never abandoned.

Now a pretext has arisen, even if the UN General Assembly’s recognition of a Palestinian state makes little practical difference. Netanyahu has seized the opportunity, as he undoubtedly always planned to. And you can’t kill the “twostate solution.” To Netanyahu’s considerable satisfaction, it is already dead.

Creating two independent states, Israeli and Palestinian, separated by the “green line” that was Israel’s border until it conquered the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 war, was the goal of the 1993 Oslo Accords. That’s what the

“peace process” was all about, but it was really doomed when Yitzhak Rabin, the prime minister signed the Oslo deal, was assassinated by a right-wing Jewish fanatic in 1995.

Netanyahu was elected prime minister after Rabin’s death, and spent the next three years stalling on the transfers of land and political authority to the Palestinian Authority that were required under the Oslo Accords. Meanwhile, he supported a vastly expanded programme of Jewish settlement in the West Bank, although it was obvious that this would ultimately make a Palestinian state impossible.

The number of Jews living in the West Bank has doubled in the past twelve years, and they now account for one-fifth of the population there. Jewish settlements, roads reserved for Jewish settlers, and Israeli military bases and reservations now cover 40 percent of the West Bank’s territory. But to retain US support, Netanyahu still has to pretend that he is really interested in a two-state solution.

That’s why he had to wait for the right excuse before building on “E-1” and sealing East Jerusalem off from the West Bank. But he always intended to kill off the “peace process,” and in practice he succeeded long ago.

Why do his Western allies in the United States and elsewhere put up with this fraud? Because they cannot think of anything else to do.

No Parking Signage Parking Along the Shoulder of College Way: The College was notified by City of Cranbrook staff that effective January 2, 2013, the City of Cranbrook will implement a No Parking Ban along College Way. Signs will be put up within the shoulder of College Way, and upon completion, enforcement by the City of Cranbrook will occur immediately.

My concern with the edict by City Council is the signage itself.

The signage at the Cranbrook Hospital is an eyesore and now the City Council has decided to create an additional eyesore right on the edge of the Community Forest. When I pass the hospital the signage is all I see.

The College is located on at the end of a road and we are a small community. Is it really necessary to ruin our landscape with a multitude of signs?

When I contacted the City they indicated that this was in response to a safety issue, but I work at the College and drive that same road 2 to 6 times a day, 5 days a week. The safety issues I have wit-

nessed are more related to speed and a refusal to adhere to traffic laws.

Activism/Democracy On Wednesday, November 28, Parliament voted on Bill C398. The bill was intended to improve the unworkable and therefore unsuccessful legislation which allows generic drugs from Canada to be exported to third world countries to fight HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other illnesses.

The bill was defeated, despite widespread support from aid agencies and individuals across the country, as all but seven Conservative MPs voted against it.

One of those seven was our MP, David Wilks. (Globe and Mail, Dec. 1.) These MPs have been publicly acknowledged and praised for taking a principled stand on this issue, by not voting with the party.

At a recent Chamber luncheon Bill Bennett spoke of a local grassroots group, Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook, as being an incubator for “activists” and the NDP.

This in relation to former CLC President Norma Blissett being nominated to run for the NDP in the next provincial election First of all, is there anything wrong with being an activist? CLC had a mission — to keep our city “livable” and ensure developers obey the rules —a mission that received widespread public support, resulting in a successful referendum and individuals being elected to Council who supported these objectives.

And secondly, doesn’t our democracy need people like Norma who are willing to run for office, despite the personal and financial cost? If Norma was inspired by her involvement in CLC to consider a political career, is that not a positive outcome? It’s a tough job being a politician, particularly in this political culture of bullying and personal attacks on the opposition.

Norma Blissett and David Wilks are to be commended for the courage they have shown in running for office and standing up for what they believe in.

Federer hopes to play in Rio Games TALES A ZZONI Associated Press

SAO PAULO, Brazil Roger Federer says he won’t play as often in the next few years and hopes to compete in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

The 31-year-old Federer says he’ll be more mindful about the tournaments he plays in the future to make sure he can continue playing at a high level.

“I have to make sure that I take care of my schedule, of my body, of my mind,” he said on Thursday. “Hopefully I can still stay on tour for many more years and hopefully play the Olympics here in three and a half years or so, so I have to look far ahead and not just the next six months.”

The winner of 17 Grand Slams is in Sao Paulo hosting exhibition matches involving Maria Sharapova, Victoria Azarenka, Serena Williams, Caroline Wozniacki, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Tommy Robredo, Tommy Haas and

Thomaz Bellucci. The Bryan brothers, Bob and Mike, are also participating. Federer plays Bellucci, Brazil’s top-ranked player, on Thursday.

The Swiss player has competed in four Olympics for a doubles gold in 2008 and singles silver this year, and he said he would love to make it to the Rio Games.

“There is a lot of passion for sports here,” he said. “It’s a hot place to play tennis right now.”

Federer, who ended the season No. 2 in the world, said this year was especially difficult for him because he also committed to the Davis Cup and London Games, which took him away from practice and from spending time with his family.

“I’ve played a lot of tennis. It’s been a big challenge, especially with the Olympics and the Davis Cup this year,” he said. “I found my way back to world No. 1 and it took a lot of sacrifices.

I’d like to be home a little bit more often and in a relaxed fashion.”

KOOTENAY ICE

A battle of polar opposites

Conference-leading Raiders in town challenge the Ice on bear, toque and mitten toss night.

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Get ready to let the fur fly on Friday, as the Kootenay Ice host the Prince Albert Raiders on A&W Bear, Toque and Mitten toss night.

When Kootenay scores it’s first goal, fans can launch their teddy bear or winter clothing item out onto the ice, where it will be collected and distributed to local health care facilities and the Salvation Army.

Because the items will be distributed in health care facilities, the Ice encourage fans to bring new and unused teddies or winter clothing.

Joey Leach, who won’t be playing due to an upper body injury, was part of the crew that handed out items collected last year at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

“It was very rewarding, being able to go and deliver those bears to people in the hospital because you know some of them can’t make it home for Christmas or don’t have that chance, so it’s nice to give them a smile, even if it’s just for the few minutes that we’re in there talking to them,” Leach said.

With his arm in a sling, he won’t be in the lineup to try and score the important first goal that will bring a hail of flying furry debris.

However, he knows that it’s on the mind of his teammates.

“You always want to get it and everyone wants to be the one to score it ‘cause it’s kind of a special goal to have the bears and the toques and mitts come down after you’re the one to put it in the net,” added Leach.

Former Ice player Elgin Pearce scored the goal that brought everything down last season against his future and current team in the Medicine Hat Tigers.

So what should people bring?

“Teddy bears,” said Leach, with a grin.

“They’re a little more fun to hand out for everybody. The toque and mitts are always good for people who don’t have them, too.”

“Everything,” added teammate Erik Benoit.

“Everything they can.”

The Ice are coming off losses to the Hitmen in a home and home series, while dropping a decision in Edmonton last weekend.

It will be a battle of Alberta for potentially first place overall in the Eastern Conference as Hitmen and Oil Kings face each other on Friday at Rexall Place, while the Raiders—who reign over everyone else—will attempt to stay on top of the rankings against the Ice.

Nitros hire local minor hockey coach TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters have hired Glenn Burgess to lead the team following the resignation of former bench boss Roman Vopat.

Burgess, who has spent many years coaching with Cranbrook minor hockey association teams, decided to step up to Jr. B and throw his name into the ring when the position opened up in Kimberley.

“The neat thing about it is from their 20-year-old Brett Luker

to 19-year-old Connor Kutzner and a few of those guys right down to Jason Richter, a 16year-old—I’ve coached all of those boys in the past,” Burgess said.

“There’s probably over a third of the team that I know very well, so I feel it’s a good thing.”

Assistant coach Jordan Foreman took over interim head coach duties with fellow assistant Todd White at his side during the gap.

“When I heard they were looking for one [coach], I put my name out there and got the phone call and it was

quick,” Burgess said.

“Within two days I was the coach of the Dynamiters. It was fast and it was pretty exciting.”

Burgess has four sons, one of which is currently on the Fernie Ghostrider’s roster, while another spent four years with the same club before grad-

uating out of the KIJHL. “I’ve always had a love for coaching. Even before coaching my own kids, I actually coached before they ever started hockey,” Burgess said. “I coached baseball, basketball and hockey, also.”

His latest accomplishment was leading the Cranbrook Midget Tier 2 Ice to a provincial championship last season.

Burgess will take over a pretty successful Dynamiters team so far, which has an above .500 record at 17-13-00. The Nitros are one

point behind the Ghostriders for first place in the Eddie Mountain division and sit in a two-way tie for eight place overall in the KIJHL. He’s kept his eye on the team before turning his thoughts to coaching it and likes what he sees.

“It’s a type of thing where it looks good right now,” Burgess said. “To be on the bench will be even better because I hope to exploit their talents a bit more. I’m happy with what I’m seeing so far, very happy.”

Sports NHL talks break down after two days of optimism Chris Johnston Canadian Press

NEW YORK - The NHL labour talks have hit another roadblock and this one appears to be massive.

After two optimistic days that suggested a deal could be imminent, negotiations between the league and the NHL Players’ Association broke off dramatically Thursday.

The NHLPA presented a new offer to the league Thursday afternoon, a proposal that union head Donald Fehr called “a clear outline” to end the dispute.

Fehr said he believed the two sides are “clearly very close if not on top of one another in connection with most of the major issues.”

The league flatly rejected the offer, saying the two sides aren’t close despite what Fehr says.

“I don’t know why he did that,” an angry

Gary Bettman told a news conference.

The NHL commissioner said any new offers the league made this week are now off the table.

“The take or give or bottom line on all this is: it appears that the union is suggesting because we made substantial movements in certain areas that we’re close to a deal,” said Bettman. “But those moves were contingent on the union specifically agreeing on other things, which while the union may have moved towards, didn’t agree to.”

During talks this week, the league said it was willing to increase the amount of deferred transition money paid to the players to US$300 million - which sat directly between what had most recently been tabled by the NHL ($211 million) and NHLPA ($393 million).

Another issue that

Don Fehr, executive director for the National Hockey League Players Associations, is surrounded by hockey players as he speaks to reporters on Thursday. surfaced was the league’s desire to see a 10-year term on the collective bargaining agreement. The union’s offer Thursday was for eight years with an option for opting out after Year 6.

“I’m disappointed beyond belief that we are where we are to-

night,” said Bettman.

Fehr’s comments took an equally negative tone.

“What can we tell the hockey fans of Canada? You can tell them that it looks like this is not going to be resolved in the immediate future,” Fehr said after telling the media

Ice prepare to freeze out Raiders Continued from page 2 Kootenay, on the other hand, is trying to claw it’s way out of the bottom of the Conference, with a seven-point gap between it’s closest oppoent in the standings.

Prince Albert is reeling off a 7-4 home loss to the Spokane Chiefs, and has a two-game road trip starting with Kootenay on Friday and Medicine Hat on Saturday.

The Ice have learned a few things about

themselves by playing the Oil Kings and the Hitmen to three consecutive losses, according to Benoit.

“We just had a few defensive lapses, there,” said Benoit. “We can work better in our defensive zone, getting pucks out and over our blue line and getting behind their D as well.

“Those two squads there, they have really good defencemen so we just got to make sure we

can get the puck behind them and work down low.”

The Raiders have slowed down a bit since starting the season without losing a game in regulation in it’s first eight games, which included a 5-3 win over Kootenay on Oct. 7th.

However, they’re still on fire.

Mark McNeill leads the team with 12 goals and 24 assists, while teammate Mike Winther has 13 goals and 15 assists.

that the league had left the union a voicemail rejecting the latest offer. “I hope that turns out to be wrong. But that’s certainly the message that we have today.”

There are no new talks scheduled.

“We’re going to take a deep breath and look

“We were talking about Anderson Silva,” White said. “He (StPierre) said ‘I want Nick Diaz. Me and Nick Diaz have unfinished business. We were supposed to fight. That’s the fight that I want.’

“Georges St-Pierre has been a phenomenal champion, a phenomenal human being, just a great guy to deal with for us. And he doesn’t ask for things. So if he wants to fight Nick Diaz and Nick Diaz wants to fight him, then that’s probably the fight we’ll make.”

St-Pierre and Diaz

were slated to fight last year but White yanked Diaz, who does not play well with others, for being a no-show at news conferences in Toronto and Las Vegas.

Diaz was replaced by Condit but St-Pierre injured his knee in training. Condit then beat Diaz in February for the interim title, earning the right to meet the Canadian champion in Montreal last month.

Diaz (27-8-1) was hit with a one-year suspension after the Condit fight for testing positive for marijuana.

and Wednesday that stretched into the wee hours.

The sides returned to the table for about an hour Thursday night with a much smaller group than the one that met the previous two days.

Daly and general counsel Bob Batterman represented the league while Fehr and special counsel Steve Fehr sat in for the union along with a group of players.

None of the six league owners who were part of marathon sessions Tuesday and Wednesday took part.

Four members of that group - Pittsburgh’s Ron Burkle, Tampa’s Jeff Vinik, Toronto’s Larry Tanenbaum and Winnipeg’s Mark Chipman - were considered moderates who travelled to New York in an effort to broker a deal.

Thursday was the 82nd day of the lockout.

St-Pierre wants to fight Diaz SEATTLE - Georges St-Pierre is putting a proposed super-fight with Anderson Silva to the side to pursue “unfinished business” with Nick Diaz.

White told reporters Thursday that St-Pierre (23-2) made the request after returning from vacation following his welterweight title defence against Carlos Condit at UFC 154 in Montreal.

back at where we are and what needs to be accomplished,” said Bettman.

In their latest offer, Fehr said the players “responded comprehensively” to the issues that had been the focus of this week’s meetings.

But NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the offer ”missed the mark.“ “We’ll stay and re-engage if you agree to the three things that we say are important to us, which is the term of the CBA, term limits of player contracts, which is the hill we will die on, and compliance issues,” said Daly. “And what we got today, quite frankly and disappointingly, missed the mark on all three respects. So for the union to suggest somehow we are close, is cherry picking and it’s unfortunate.”

Kate leaves the hospital after treatment for morning sickness Associated Press

LONDON — The Duchess of Cambridge left a London hospital Thursday after being treated for acute morning sickness related to her pregnancy.

Clutching a small bouquet of yellow roses, the former Kate Middleton smiled and posed briefly for a photograph alongside her husband, Prince William, before leaving King Edward VII Hospital. She stepped delicately into a waiting car.

The couple’s office said she would head to Kensington Palace in London for a period of rest. She had been in the hospital since Monday.

Officials from St. James’s Palace have said the duchess is not yet 12 weeks pregnant with the couple’s first child.

William visited his wife at the hospital every day, while media from around the world camped outside, seeking any news on the royal pregnancy.

Royal officials announced Monday that the Duchess was pregnant, their hand forced

The Duchess of Cambridge by her admission into the hospital.

But the stay of one of the world’s most recognized women was complicated by a breach of her privacy.

Two Australian radio disc jockeys impersonating Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles placed a prank call to the hospital early Tuesday, and persuaded an unwitting nurse to tell them all about the Duchess’ condition.

The duchess is married to the queen’s grandson, Prince William.

Australian radio personalities Mel Greig and Michael Christian later apologized for the hoax — sheepishly noting

that they were surprised that the call was put through and that their Australian accents were not detected.

William’s father, Prince Charles, poked fun about the incident with reporters on Thursday when he said he was very glad to hear the Duchess was feeling better.

“How do you know I’m not a radio station,’’ he joked, later adding that he is “thrilled’’ about the pregnancy.

“It’s a very nice thought to become a grandfather in my old age, if I can say so,’’ Charles said at an event in London.

The royals have been the target of hoax callers before. Canadian disc jockey Pierre Brassard telephoned the queen in 1995, pretending to be Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.

In a conversation that lasted 15 minutes, Brassard managed to elicit a promise from the monarch that that she would try to influence Quebec’s referendum on proposals to break away from Canada.

Rotting whale carcass poses gigantic cleanup problem A ss oc iate d Press

MALIBU, Calif. — A whale carcass rotting near celebrity homes in Malibu is causing a gigantic cleanup problem as authorities try to decide who’s responsible for getting rid of it.

Los Angeles County lifeguards planned to try to pull the 40,000pound (18,143-kilogram) carcass out to sea, perhaps at high tide Thursday, said Cindy Reyes, executive director of the California Wildlife Center.

However, that may be too much of a job, county fire Inspector Brian Riley said.

“Our lifeguards think this probably exceeds our capabilities,’’ he told City News Service. “You would need a tug boat to drag it out to sea.’’

The city was not sure who would do the job, spokeswoman Olivia Damavandi said.

The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors was not responsible for disposing of the more than 40-foot body, said Carol Baker, who represents the agency.

“It’s on a private beach’’ controlled by homeowners down to the high tide line and the state is responsible for the tidelands, Baker said.

The young male fin whale washed up Monday between Paradise Cove and Point Dume, near the homes of Barbra Streisand and Bob Dylan.

The whale may have been hit by a ship and had a gash to its back

FRIday, DECEmber 7, 2012

and a damaged spine, according to results of a necropsy conducted Tuesday by the wildlife centre.

“It’s relatively common for it to happen, it’s really unfortunate,’’ Reyes told the Los Angeles Times (http://lat. ms/UGcue1 ).

Such accidents have become more common as increased numbers of migrating blue, fin and humpback whales swim to California’s shore to feast on shrimp-like krill.

Fin whales are endangered and about 2,300 live along the West Coast. They are the second-largest species of whale after blue whales and can grow up to 85 feet (26 metres), weigh up to 80 tons and live to be 90 years old.

Private firm plans to sell $1.5 billion trips to moon Last lunar visit 40 years ago

Se th Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A team of former NASA executives is launching a private venture to send people to the moon for a price that is definitely out of this world.

For $1.5 billion, the newly formed business is offering countries a two-person trip to the moon, either for research or national prestige. The venture was announced Wednesday.

NASA’s last trip to the moon was 40 years ago. The United States was the only country that landed people there, beating the Soviet Union in a space race to the moon that transfixed the world. But once the race ended, there has been only sporadic interest in the moon. President Barack Obama cancelled NASA’s planned return to the moon, saying America had already been there.

But the firm has talked to other countries, which are showing interest in going, said former NASA associate administrator Alan Stern, who is president of the new Golden Spike Company.

Stern said he’s looking at countries like South Africa, South

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Three months ago, my husband and I were introduced to a couple through mutual friends. My husband could not take his eyes off the woman all evening.

They arranged to go on an all-day seminar course together. The course leader took a suggestive photo of them that he circulated to all his male friends. Shortly after, he asked for a divorce out of the blue, saying I criticized him too much.

I snooped on his computer and found the photo along with other highly flirtatious emails, one of them arranging to meet this woman during the day. Both of them made excuses, telling her boyfriend and our mutual friends that they had accidentally bumped into each other. Shortly after that, she broke up with her boyfriend while he was undergoing chemotherapy.

I never told my husband that I knew about their flirtation, as I wanted to see where it was headed. When my husband said maybe we should work on our marriage, we went for couples counseling. That’s when I brought it up, showing the counselor all of the photographs and emails I found.

My husband says he did nothing wrong, that I ruined a good friendship, and that he feels “violated” because I snooped on his computer. He has since changed all of his passwords. But he still wants to work on our marriage.

If he thinks he did nothing wrong, it makes me believe he will do it again, and who knows where it will lead? How can I work on our marriage if he won’t acknowledge that his actions were more than “friendly”? -- In Limbo Dear Limbo: Your counselor should be addressing these issues during your sessions. If that hasn’t happened, please go back and try again. Your husband needs to admit that his interest in this woman was inappropriate and put your marriage at risk.

There are also trust and communication issues. This is what counseling is for. The two of you have a lot of work to do, but it requires honesty all around.

Dear Annie: My aunt’s son is a drug addict. He has been in and out of jail and treatment centers, and she has not spoken to many of us over the years.

My aunt is planning on coming to my grandmother’s home for Christmas dinner and bringing her son. I do not feel comfortable around my cousin. I think he is dangerous. My relatives say it’s time for the family to heal, and I should forgive him. They are all willing to sit down with him because they think he is clean and drug-free. I don’t trust that he is, and I don’t want my children in his presence. What do you think? -- Niece Dear Niece: You should protect your children from anyone who poses a danger.

But you aren’t giving your cousin a chance to reintegrate himself into the family if he is, in fact, clean. We understand your reluctance to be around him, but addicts who are making a sincere effort need the emotional support of their families. How long has he claimed to be drug-free? Is there any evidence that he has relapsed? You might consider stopping by Grandma’s house without your children to check on the situation and say hello, and then have your Christmas dinner elsewhere.

Dear Annie: This is for “North Carolina,” who does not appreciate his boss’s language.

Since the boss is willing to work on it, I suggest he place a “Fine Jar” on the table with a list of words and their corresponding fines.

Every time anyone says one of the words, he has to pay the fine. The money can go toward refreshments at the next meeting or to charity.

This game makes light of the problem while reinforcing better behavior. It worked for me in a highly sensitive job where the boss had an enormous ego. -- Neighbor in Kentucky Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Food for Thought: Giving beyond ourselves

C

an money buy happiness? Most of us would say a resounding “No!” Michael Norton from the Harvard Business School has researched whether money can buy happiness or not with some clever and creative experiments. He has come up with some surprising results, which he presents in a delightful talk on www.TED. com.

His research shows that money can buy happiness … as long as you spend the money on someone else. It doesn’t matter so much how you spend the money. The most important thing is to spend it on someone else.

So let me invite you to be happier this Christmas.

Let me suggest “alternative giving”. Instead of giving someone a physical gift, make a donation to a charity in that person’s name. This idea has become more and more popular over the years.

There are many reasons why someone would appreciate receiving an alternative gift. For some, it’s a way to protest the increasing commercialization of life. They are making a statement against our consumerist culture.

They already have enough “stuff ” and don’t want any more stuff; alternative giving allows the giver to still

recognize the occasion, whether it be Christmas, a birthday or an anniversary. Perhaps there is a cause or an organization dear to the receiver’s heart; that person might truly appreciate the giver’s thoughtfulness in supporting that effort.

When someone makes an alternative gift, it’s really a double gift: a gift to the person being honoured and a gift to the charity and the people that really need the help.

For the last six years, the Sunday School children at Christ Church have chosen an alternative giving project. This year, our project will help children in Haiti. A gift of $25 will provide a

Yme Woensdregt hot lunch for a child for half a year. This project helps in two ways. First of all, it provides a nourishing meal for children in a country ravaged by poverty and natural disasters. Secondly, it allows children to stay in school, rather than being forced to work to support their family. This hot lunch

makes all the difference for families which are struggling to provide shelter and food for their families. We’re calling it “Food for Thought”.

A very important part of this project is that every cent donated will go directly to help the children. There are no administration costs for this project.

A few years ago, I came across a book called “Scroogenomics: Why You Shouldn’t Buy Presents for the Holidays”. Joel Waldfogel, a professor of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, reminds us that we all get presents that we don’t enjoy or which we’ll never use.

“Let’s stop to consider

Janus: The arrival of Father Coccola Continued from page 7

Nicolas Coccola hailed from the island of Corsica, under the French flag. Born in 1854 and raised in a time of military and theological conflict, he was, as were the large majority of missionaries, a man of action, confidence, deep convictions and discipline.

He arrived in New York City in 1880, took a train to San Francisco and journeyed by sternwheeler to Victoria. Ordained a Roman Catholic priest shortly thereafter, he was sent to the small hamlet of Kamloops in 1881. He and two others served on a small reserve, mostly constructing homes, tending gardens and learning practical medical skills that would serve so many over the years.

In 1883 Father Coccola was contacted by Father Lacombe of Alberta and informed that his services were required in the railway camps of the CPR as the track gangs slowly made their way west through the Kicking Horse Pass. He soon found himself at Eagle Pass, serving the Donald and Golden area and was present at Craigellachie B.C. in 1885 to witness the driving of the last spike

the gifts we receive — the rooster sweater from Grandma or the singing fish from Uncle Mike.” How many of us get gifts we like? How many of us give gifts, not knowing what the recipients want?

Waldfogel estimates that in the USA, such extravagant spending generates vast amounts of economic waste … some $85 billion. Billion. With a B. “It’s time,” he says, “to stop the madness and think twice before buying gifts for the holidays.” When we buy for ourselves, we buy what we want. Every dollar we spend produces at least a dollar in satisfaction. We shop carefully, purchasing items that are worth at least as much as they cost in terms of satisfaction.

Gift giving is different. We make poorer choices, often because we’re buying a present for someone we don’t know very well. We max out on credit cards to buy gifts worth less than the money spent, and leave recipients less than satisfied. This orgy of spending becomes less and less satisfying the more we do it.

Waldfogel acknowledges that no one has taken him up on his ideas. It will be very hard, if not impossible, to change our consumerist habits. Many of us vow every year to be more sensible, and every year we are seduced into spending more money. It’s hard to resist, because advertisers appeal to our wants rather than our needs. A need is something physical. But our wants have an emotional tie. Fulfilling a want promises to make our lives better — even though the promises prove to be empty.

This alternative giving project allows us to give gifts, and at the same time to help a family in one of the poorest nations on earth. We can give a gift and do good at the same time. At the same time, we don’t get loaded down with more stuff that we don’t need.

Buy some happiness this year. Spend your money on someone else who needs our help. It really is “Food for Thought”.

In 1887 Father Coccola was once more re-assigned, this time to replace Father Fouquet at the St. Eugene Mission. One of his many

wishes was to construct a proper church but money, or rather the lack of it, was a hindrance. That is, until the day in the spring of 1893 when a local gentleman known as Indi-

NOLTING, Eric Shanon 1974 - 2012 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Eric Shanon Nolting of Armstrong, BC at the age of 38 after a six month battle with cancer.

Eric is survived by his lovely wife Shannon and two beautiful children: Brody, 4 and Ellie, 2; parents Erich Nolting Sr. of Key Largo, FL and Christa VomSchemm of Kelowna, BC; siblings Dennis of Yellowknife, NWT, Diana of Kelowna, BC, Lauren of New York City, NY, Syke of Edmonton, AB and in-laws Lennie Whitely & Tony Walton of White Rock. Eric was born June 10, 1974 in Yellowknife where his initial interest in flying began. He also spent many of his younger years in Cranbrook where he developed so many beautiful friendships. Eric flew all over the world until reaching his goal of a position with Air Canada this past February, operating out of the Vancouver base. Eric and family moved back to the North Okanagan where they were happy to call home. Eric has many loving friends and family over a broad area, all of whom will dearly miss his big warm heart, positive attitude and friendly nature. Ericâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continuous strive to always achieve his goals led him to a tactical plan to combat his disease. Ericâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit and determination was contagious as family, friends and strangers rallied with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ericâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Armyâ&#x20AC;?, all helping in any way possible with some form of positive energy. The communities of the North Okanagan, Cranbrook and Yellowknife are thanked for their involvement in fundraisers to support the Nolting family and Ericâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical support from initial diagnosis onward. A Celebration of Ericâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life will be held at Paddlewheel Hall, (7801 Okanagan Landing Road) Vernon, BC on December 8th, 2012 at 7:00pm.

Shannon and family encourage all who knew and loved Eric to attend and share fond memories of him at this special gathering. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the trust fund for Ericâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children at Scotiabank with details to be posted on Healing Eric Facebook page. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca or at the Healing Eric Facebook page.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.

When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a better chance of getting their business if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.

Direct has the advantages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.

Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.

Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.

Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in business, you have overhead and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.

In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast.

Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.

When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.
