Las Vegas prepares for the arrival of the Sullivan Pub Hockey Team
ANTHONY DRANSFELD For the Bulletin
The Sullivan Pub Hawks are due to fly out of Spokane on Thursday afternoon, as they prepare to play in the Las Vegas Classic Old Timers Hockey Tournament for players over 40 — 12 teams from all over North America are entered. The Hawks have won this tournament before. The Sully Pub team will face off against a team from the Yukon (coming by dogsled and airplane) on Friday morning. On Friday evening, the Sully Pub will be playing Chicago, a team they beat two years ago when Sully Hotel won this Tournament. The Sullivan Pub has sponsored their hockey club for the past 25 years. Current owners of “ The Sully” Aaron Lees, Kent Lees, and Rob Van Baar ( Vancouver) are travelling to Vegas with their team to handle line changes and refreshments. (Canadian beer is being brought along
from a local pub here in Kimberley.) Every hockey player on the Hawks lives here in Kimberley, except Ken Ferguson, a Cabinet Maker who resides in Ta Ta Creek. There are three sets of brothers on the Squad heading to Vegas, Mike Caldwell and brother Harry, Jeff and Barry Bates, and father and son Bob and Mike Kitt, and the Sullivan Hotel owners Kent and Aaron Lees, who are brothers. By the way the Sullivan Pub Team plays in the Kimberley City Hockey League which has been running continuously here since 1942. Anchoring the Sully Hotel defense is Ricky Peacosh (son of the mercurial Walter Peacosh, long retired Kimberley Dynamiter Super Star). Here is the roster going to Las Vegas this weekend, Ray Creasy, Tim Strachan, Glen Levins, Kent Lees, Lawrence Overes, Harry Caldwell, Mike Caldwell, Kevin Kelly, Jeff Bates, Barry Bates, Ricky Peacosh, Ken Ferguson, Bob Kitt, Mike Kitt and last but not least the Hawks Goaltender Pat McTeer, who is the golf pro at Boot Leg Gap and son of Kimberley Dynamiter Great Ken Cow-

You deserve a say in what happens on the land We live in one of the most beautiful, natural settings in the world. In the communities I represent, we hunt, fish, gather firewood, snowmobile, ski, hike and bike on the Crown Land that surrounds us. And many actually make their living on the land. We know the land and we understand the land. And decisions that are made concerning the land base can have serious repercussions on our lives and our economy. It is for this reason that we need to have a say on what happens on the land that we live on. But the Premier doesn’t agree. One of the most successful examples of community participation in land use planning has been the Golden Backcountry Recreational Access Plan (GBRAP). The plan was developed by local stakeholders and users to establish patterns of recreational use in order to maintain valuable recreations experiences, promote and manage tourism, and manage our impact on

Most of the Hawks are over 50, with a few of them actually over 60 years old. We wish them well. The games will not be televised in Canada.

important wildlife habitat. But we now hear that after more than a decade of honouring GBRAP, the BC Liberals have instructed staff that GBRAP should be ignored. And attempts by local residents in the Upper Columbia Valley to create their own Backcountry Recreational Access Plan were actively undermined by the BC Liberals with clear instructions to ministry staff not to participate. This is the same geographic area where the BC Liberals placed 6000 hectares of public land into the hands of Jumbo Glacier Resort, against the wishes of local people.

Kimberley Rotary Club October news For the Bulletin
Vocational Services encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards. Kimberley Rotary’s Vocational Services Chair Janis Sawley tells how Rotary accomplishes this lofty standard. Four Guiding Principles which are continually emphasized to all members through The Rotary Leadership Institute are listed as follows: The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encour-
age and foster: the development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; high ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society; the application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life; the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. The Four-Way Test.
Rotarian Janis Sawley
From its earliest day of the organization Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards. In 1932 The Four-Way Test was created by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor
( who later became President of Rotary International) when he was asked to take charge of a company facing bankruptcy. This 24-word test for employees to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide. The guide for sales, production, advertising and all relations with their dealers and customers. The survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The Four-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways. It asks the following four
questions: 1. Is it the truth? 2. Is it fair to all concerned? 3. Will it build goodwill and better friendship? 4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned? The Five Avenues of Service. Based on the Object of Rotary, Rotary’s Philosophical cornerstone and foundation of club activity: Club Service; Vocational Service; Community Service; International Service and Youth Service Rotary Code of Conduct. As a Rotarian, I will: 1. Exemplify the core value of integrity in all behaviours and activities.
2. Use my vocational experience and talents to service in Rotary 3. Conduct all my personal, business and professional affairs ethically, encouraging and fostering high ethical standards as an example to others. 4. Be fair in all dealings with others and treat them with respect due to them as fellow human beings. 5. Promote recognition and respect for all occupations which are useful to society 6. Offer my vocational talents: to provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the special needs of others, and to improve the
quality of life in my community. 7. Honour the trust that Rotary and fellow Rotarians provide and not do anything that will bring disfavour or reflect adversely on Rotary or fellow Rotarians 8. Not seek from fellow Rotarians a privilege or advantage not normally accorded others in a business of professional relationship. Believe it or not all these Guiding Principles create fun, fellowship and rewards for members and their community. It is a good place to be. Just ask Janis Sawley.
