After a special general union meeting in Castlegar Wednesday afternoon, the majority of local teachers voted ‘Yes’ to end their labour dispute with the province through binding arbi-tration.
According to the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) 99.4 per cent agreed to end the strike through third party resolution.
That percentage reflects the Kootenay Columbia vote, but a breakdown of numbers won’t be released because results are sent to the BCTF and released in one go.
“Our policy in the BCTF is not to release local results,” Andy Davidoff, president of the Kootenay Columbia Teachers’ Union (KCTU) told the Trail Times Thursday morning. “But I can tell you there was resounding support for bind-ing arbitration with teachers in the Kootenay Columbia.”
The voting results weren’t unexpected, con-ceded Education Minister Peter Fassbender in a Sept. 10 news release.
“As we have consistently made clear, bind-ing arbitration would lead to unacceptable tax increases in this case,” said Fassbender. “That’s because the two sides remain too far apart on wages and benefits.”
Not so, says Davidoff, in response to the government’s position that meeting the BCTF’s demands would weigh on the province’s taxpay-ers.
“For 12 years, the teachers have saved the government $250 million a year,” he said. “That’s $3 billion saved since 2002 and now we are say-ing it’s time to start putting that money back into the system. Not in our back pockets, but into the system.”
Davidoff was referring to the government’s removal of clauses related to class size and class-room composition from the teachers’ collective agreement in 2002.

Teck tackling fugitive dust with new building
B Y L I Z B E V A NTimes Staff
Teck has announced plans for further investment into its Fugitive
Dust Reduction Program.In order to improve results for
the current dust reduction plan, Teck will be constructing a Smelter Recycle building designed for just one thing.
“The building will have no other use than to enclose work that is currently taking place outdoors,” said Carol Vanelli Worosz, com-
munity engagement leader with the smelter plant.
The planned building will be vast, covering an area slightly lar-ger than a football field, says Vanelli Worosz, and the construction site was picked specifically because of the work that happens in that area of the Teck facilities.
“It will be a new building that
encloses an area that we have iden-tified as a source of fugitive dust from our site,” she said, adding that it will be located in the northeast area of the site, adjacent to Tadanac.
“It will (cover) storage and mix-ing of in-process materials that we recycle back into the lead smelter furnaces and...improve air quality.”

Half a million dollars can go a long way when spent carefully and thought-fully. The Lower Columbia Community Development Team Society (LCCDTS) wants to know where local residents think that money should go.
The organization has $600,000 wait-ing to be spent and Terry Van Horn, economic development coordinator with the Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation (LCIC), says the money will sit until the group has gathered enough public input through an online survey to determine where every penny will go.
“We want people to start thinking about that $600,000,” she said. “We want the public to come up with some higher level ideas about where they want the money to be distributed and this is just the beginning.”
After the survey process is complete, planned for the end of October, Van Horn says there will be focus groups and open houses where the ideas gathered from the surveys will be synthesized into
a plan.“We are going to take those higher
priorities (from the surveys) and start narrowing them down into action items,” she said. “It is all about how the community would like us to address their concerns.”
Van Horn says garnering public input for how to spend development dollars is the best way to keep the community accountable, involved and invested in the future.
“We want to say, 'hey guys, we have this money and we want to know how you want us to spend it,'” she said. “That is part of getting people engaged and getting them active and participating. Getting them included so they can take some ownership of the areas they live in and they have a say in it. We really want them to be able to tell us what their pri-orities are and feel included.”
LCCDTS and the LCIC have no pre-conceived notions on how the money will be spent, and that was on purpose.
“We have not done any kind of analysis on how we think this should
look,” said Van Horn. “We are going to be totally driven by the commu-nities through the survey, the focus groups and the open houses.” The plan, so far, is to have a spending plan ready to go and have the commu-nity priorities determined by the end of the year.
Focus groups and open houses will be starting around the Lower Columbia area by the end of October, according to Van Horn, and she is looking forward to seeing some of the responses from resi-dents in the area.
“We are really excited about this,” she said. “It is a good way to engage the community and get people to start talking about issues that perhaps they've thought they would never get a chance to change. The more input we get, the better we can serve the community.”
The survey is available online at www.lccdts.com/prioritiesplan, or you can pick up a paper copy at municipal offic-es and Chamber of Commerce offices in Trail, Rossland, Warfield, Montrose, Fruitvale and Area A and B.

Most people in Greater Trail can come afford to come in from the cold. But there are some who are on the street battling the elements because they are homeless.
So tonight, rain or shine, 40 people will gather under the Victoria Street bridge and sleep out-side to raise awareness and funds for Getting to Home, which is a program that seeks to end home-lessness in Greater Trail.
City of Trail mayoral candidate Mike Martin has signed on to join the 12- hour Coins for Change cam-paign that begins at 8 p.m., noting that within the Lower Columbia region, Trail has the highest propor-tion of people who are considered to be homeless or at significant risk of becoming homeless.
Raising money for the Coins for Change initiative is an oppor-tunity to assist those who know what needs to be done to address homelessness, he said, adding that Getting to Home program has a well defined and actionable plan in place.
The outdoor challenge was organized by downtown Trail’s Career Development Services (CDS), a service that in partnership
with the Skills Centre has success-fully housed 163 people over the last two years.
Sheila Adcock, CDS’ program coordinator, said the fundraiser has garnered much local interest and many community members who can’t stay for the full event, are committed to stopping by and stay-ing for a few hours.
There’s no formal agenda for the evening, but an open mike will be available for anyone who wants to address the crowd and show appre-ciation, share a story or challenge others to get involved year round.
Firefighters, members of the local police force, and councillors from Trail, Montrose, Fruitvale and Rossland will be representing their communities at the site, no matter the weather.
Money raised for the event will help sustain the non-profit service into next year and so far, those sleeping over, CDS staff and few others in the community have been collecting donations. The spirit has also reached far outside the area.
“We even have a donation of $3,000 from someone whose son played hockey here, in the past,” said Adcock. “Because he wanted to support this community initiative.”
FROM PAGE 1A B.C. Supreme court judge
twice ruled that action as a viola-tion of the teachers’ charter rights.
“Those facts are undisputed,” he added. “And the pressure on the system needs to be relieved especially when it comes to sup-port for our special needs students. We are fighting for support of our students and for the government to put some of those savings back into the schools.”
There’s no official word from School District 20’s board of trust-ees over the matter of binding arbi-tration, and there won’t be until the end of the month.
Darrel Ganzert, SD20 board chair, said the teacher’s proposal to the province came in too late for the school board’s Sept. 8 meet-ing, but the topic will be debated during the Sept. 29 meeting at the Kootenay Columbia Learning Centre in Trail.
“This will be discussed at the next meeting,” said Ganzert.
“Whether we can lend our support for binding arbitration or not.
“Parents are asking us to call for an immediate cessation of the strike along the lines of what BCTF is offering,” he explained. “So there will be a pretty wide ranging debate.”
He maintains that the boards of education have been largely fro-zen out of the bargaining process, though two advisors do sit with the bargaining team but do not have a vote and do not determine strategy.
Ganzert is a retired teacher and as a past KCTU president, was involved in many strikes.
“I was hard nosed about pro-tecting public education,” he recalled.
“But I do not listen into any bargaining negotiations or discus-sions now because of conflict of interest. But I still feel I have a lot of support from the teachers because of my background because it was most important that public education was defended.”
FROM PAGE 1In-process materials are
materials coming from dif-ferent areas on site that are “recycled back into the KIVCET furnace or the slag fuming fur-naces,” clarified Vanelli Worosz.
“When you bake a cake, you have milk and eggs and com-bine them with flour and other ingredients to make a batter,” she said. “The batter would be considered an in-process material for the end product of a cake.”
The building design will also include an all-season wheel wash, air ventilation and fil-tration to make sure all dust produced from operations stays
inside the building. Vanelli Worosz says the new
project will most benefit the residents living near the plant.
“We expect there to be a noticeable improvement in the dust levels in Tadanac,” she said, adding that residents will be kept in the loop. “We will be engaging with Tadanac resi-dents prior to construction”
This new Smelter Recycling building will reduce fugitive dust emissions from Teck Trail Operations by an additional 25 per cent.
The project is currently in the design-build process, mean-ing contractors will be submit-ting bids for the project in the
near future. The new 168m X 75m
Smelter Recycle building comes as an addition to the current Fugitive Dust Reduction pro-gram which already includes a smaller storage building, con-trolling dust emission of open piles of materials, cleaning internal roads, wheel washes and air monitoring to ensure that all efforts are going in the right direction.
The project is expected to take a year to build and Teck hopes to break ground in early 2015. The company added it’s too early to predict the number and duration of the construc-tion jobs.

Rising ferry fares and declining traffic are costing the economy millions more than the revenues accruing to BC Ferries, according to a study prepared for discussion at this month’s local government con-vention.
Based on what it is calling the first ever “socio-economic” study of ferry use and costs, the Union of B.C. Municipalities executive is recommending the province reverse its November 2013 decision to continue rais-ing ferry rates beyond the rate of inflation.
The report refers to pas-
senger declines of 20 to 40 per cent on northern routes, 10 to 20 per cent on minor routes and five to eight per cent on major routes.
The report finds that “ferry ridership declines run counter to the trend of transportation volume increases in most other modes of transport in B.C., including vehicle and air trans-port.”
The report estimates that if fare increases had been kept to the rate of inflation, passen-ger volumes would have grown by 19 per cent over the past decade, adding $2.3 billion to the province’s gross domestic product.
Transportation Minister Todd Stone and previous min-isters have argued that rider-ship declines have been seen on Interior ferries that charge no fares, and on other travel affected by rising fuel prices.
The UBCM executive wants the provincial government to take a “pause” in rate increases set by B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee.
Current rate caps allow for maximum increases of four per cent this year and 3.9 per cent in 2015.
The UBCM membership will debate the report and recom-mendations at its annual con-vention in Whistler Sept. 24.

Aboriginal lead-ers opened their meeting with the provincial cabinet Thursday by urging them to resume discussions to rec-ognize aboriginal title instead of dragging out case after case in the courts.
Premier Christy Clark convened the special ses-sion in Vancouver Thursday after vis-iting the Nemiah Valley near Williams Lake, where the
Tsilhqot’in Nation established title in a landmark rul-ing in June. Clark signed a letter of understanding with the Tsilhqot’in to work on imple-menting the ver-dict of the Supreme Court of Canada ruling, the first to acknowledge title to a specific area of what was con-sidered Crown land.
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs told the gathering in Vancouver that
Clark’s “public platitudes” echo those of former premier Gordon Campbell in 2009 when he
proposed legisla-tion to recognize title province-wide.
That proposal caused the B.C. Business Council to “set its hair on fire” and issue “an inflammatory legal opinion” that derailed the effort, Phillip said.
In fact it was B.C. aboriginal leaders who voted the proposal down four months after it was pulled from the legislature on the eve of the 2009 B.C. election.
Grand Chief Ed John of the First Nations Summit recounted federal and provincial efforts to thwart land claims cases,
from prohibiting aboriginal people from hiring lawyers in the 1920s to the tactics used in the 2007 Tsilhqot’in trial.
That trial ran for 339 days in B.C. Supreme Court, after 10 pre-trial motions by federal and provincial law-yers trying to have the case thrown out on technical grounds, John said. When that failed, Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William, the named plaintiff, was made to test-ify for 46 days and none of his testi-mony was used by government law-yers after that, he said.
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVANCOUVER - B.C.’s educa-
tion minister is no longer ruling out back-to-work legislation as an option for ending the weeks-long teachers’ strike.
Peter Fassbender has repeated-ly rejected asking the legislature to force a solution, but he now says the reality is that govern-ment has the ultimate ability to legislate in any situation.
Fassbender has backed off the position he held for months, after a vote by teachers overwhelm-ingly in favour of binding arbitra-tion, declaring they will start the school year if government accepts their plan.
The minister says he’s still committed to getting a negoti-ated settlement and contends accepting the teachers’ proposal of binding arbitration would com-pel the government to raise taxes.
Minister softens stance on
legislating teachers back to work
Accept aboriginal title province-wide, premier told
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - Ottawa
moved to cut employ-ment insurance pre-miums for small busi-nesses Thursday, tout-ing it as an effort that will save employers more than $550 mil-lion over the next two years and help stimu-late hiring.
But critics say if the federal government really wanted to see employment pick up in Canada, it should have made job cre-ation a requirement of the tax credit.
“They could try to tie it to employment in some way, if that’s what they wanted to do, rather than it being a tax giveaway,” said Angella MacEwen, a senior economist with the Canadian Labour Congress.
Finance Minister Joe Oliver said the job credit will see EI premiums reduced to $1.60 for every $100 earned for 2015 and 2016, down from the current rate of $1.88.
The credit, which is expected to reduce EI payroll taxes by nearly 15 per cent, will leave employers with more money to spur hiring and increase salaries, he said. The tax cred-it will not have any effect on EI premiums paid by workers.
“We believe this will be very helpful on a macro basis,” Oliver said during the announcement at a family-run floor-ing company in west Toronto. “When you reduce payment by half a billion dollars, you’ll have an impact. That’s what we’re looking for. We believe it will encourage
growth and employ-ment opportunities.”
To be eligible, a business must pay equal to or less than $15,000 in employ-ment insurance pre-miums next year and in 2016.
The credit would amount to about $2,200 in savings each year for a company that, for example, employs 14 workers, each earning $40,000 a year, and pays $14,740 in EI premiums in 2014. A small business with three employees, each earning $25,000, would save about $295 a year from this year’s EI premium bill of $1,975.
MacEwen doubts a maximum savings of about $2,200 is enough for employers to consider boosting hiring or raising sal-aries.
“I’m sure anyone would be happy to have an extra $200, or $2,000, in their pocket. These busi-nesses will put the money to good use; find other ways that are better to use it like upgrade equipment or put a sign up... or buy a laptop maybe,” she said from Ottawa. “We don’t expect this will
have any impact on any employment.”
Instead, MacEwen suggested that Ottawa should have used the money from the tax credit to provide more skills training to unemployed workers.
Jerry Dias, presi-dent of Unifor, the country’s largest private-sector union, said it’s “ridiculous” to think that this credit will spur job growth.
“It’s naive at best to believe that this will stimulate one job,” he said from Vancouver.
“What type of job can you create with $2,000 in savings? You’re going to pay people $40 a week for a year? That’s unbeliev-able.”
But Craig Wright, the chief economist at Royal Bank said although the impact may be minimal, it may be enough to push some employers to considering hiring.
“In terms of impact
on the economy and the job market, it is a positive, just a not very large positive I would think,” he said. “It lowers the cost of employment, it helps at the margins. Decisions are often made at the margins. I think the overall scale of the impact is fairly modest but these were modest changes.”
Wright added that hiring can depend on a variety of other fac-tors, too.
“The bigger issue is how the economy performs. If firms are looking at hiring more people, it’s a bit of a relief in the cost of hiring,” he said. “It’s particularly good if demand is there. Firms won’t be doing hiring just because they save a bit on EI contributions, they’ll hire if the economy is strong enough and demand picks up.”
Oliver dismissed the suggestion that
this credit is an indi-cation that the federal government is worried about sluggish job growth.
“It’s not a sign of worry,” he said. “It’s a sign of confidence that we’re continuing on the right path.”
Despite Oliver’s
optimism, there are signs that the Canadian job market is not faring as well as anticipated.
Last week, Statistics Canada reported that the economy shed 11,000 jobs in August, most of them part-time positions.

OPINION
Corporations play a vital role in societyPhilosopher George
Santayana’s maxim, “Those who can-not remember (the
lessons of) the past are condemned to repeat it”, demonstrates that the most enduring wisdoms can often be stated in a single sentence.
One of history’s most powerful lessons is how Marxist-socialist theory inspired the subjugation and impoverishment of half the world’s population while free-enterprise cap-italism saw the other half achieve historic levels of prosperity, social progress and personal freedom.
A starkly clear example is Germany: When the Berlin wall came crash-ing down in 1989, West Germany had risen from the ashes of war to become the world’s second-largest economy, while social-ist East Germany was an impoverished wasteland. Yet in recent years the principal conveyer of the benefits of free-enterprise capitalism, the corpora-tion itself, has come under attack. Increasingly, the words “corporate” and “profit” are being used as derogatory adjectives.
It’s hard to believe that these colossal 20th century
lessons could already be forgotten. But how many students are being taught them? Sadly, very few. Not only do our schools and universities fail to teach these historical facts, many teachers and university professors expose students to the same left-wing anti-business rhetoric espoused by their union leaders.
Some even see sinis-ter motives behind well-intended corporate philan-thropy. University profes-sors decry putting donor’s names on plaques rec-ognizing support for the construction of classrooms or laboratories and some even believe that corpor-ate recruitment literature should be banned from campus. Where do they think jobs for their stu-dents will come from and who pays the taxes that help pay their salaries?
Assuming the education system hasn’t done enough to make “corporation” a derogatory adjective in the minds of students, along comes Hollywood. Movies such as James Cameron’s 2009 blockbuster Avatar features a greedy corpor-ate boss intent on destroy-ing the forest home of native humanoids on the distant planet of Pandora
to mine a precious min-eral called unobtanium. Animated films intended for very young children have morphed from inno-cent fantasies such as Snow White into films embody-ing a message that corpora-tions pollute or destroy. The latest is the hugely popular The LEGO Movie, featur-ing President Business as an evil tyrant out to destroy the world. There’s even an organization called “Counter Corp” that sponsors an annual “Anti-Corporate Film Festival” in San Francisco. Add to this the anti-corporate pro-nouncements of numerous pop-stars and it’s indeed a miracle that any positive thoughts about the private sector survive the teenage years.
Sooner or later, pub-lic opinion translates into
public policy. The chances of reversing wealth-killing public policy ideas are far less than helping to fos-ter positive public policy in the first place. When mis-guided or malicious people with a public voice portray “corporate” as a derogatory adjective, they must not go unchallenged. Thoughtful, clear and frequent pub-lic communication from business leaders is vitally important. And rather than being defensive, lead-ers should remember they have a great story to tell.
After all, who makes a bigger contribution to our country? Private business creates the vast majority of jobs and drives social progress by funding essen-tially all social services – both directly and through taxes paid by employees. Successful profitable cor-porations also bolster pri-vate and public sector pen-sion plans through share price growth and dividends.
A widespread miscon-ception that corporate leaders must address is that small business is good and big business is bad. In fact, big businesses provide the core economic base for small and medium-sized businesses. It’s a vital sym-biotic economic ecology.
Large corporations are also the prime philanthropic contributors to social agen-cies, healthcare, education, amateur sports and the arts.
Yes, I know from first-hand experience that CEO’s have an agenda full of pri-orities, but they need to remember that investors, employees and regulators aren’t their only stakehold-ers. If corporate leaders don’t tell this tremendous-ly positive story, who will?
I urge every Chief Executive to recognize that public thought leadership is crucial, both to the future and their enterprises and our country. They should take every opportunity to communicate and demon-strate the contribution that free-enterprise business makes in providing young Canadians with opportun-ities to achieve their career potential, while generat-ing wealth for the nation. And they should be sure to explain that remem-bering those lessons of the past century will help keep Canada one of the world’s best places to live.

You mustn’t expect pol-iticians in a democrat-ic system to come up with ideologically pure,
intellectually consistent poli-cies. Their job is to put together a winning coalition of voters who have different and even conflicting interests, and if that requires compromises and even contradictions, so be it. But they must APPEAR to be consistent, and Marina Silva has mastered the art.
Until last month Silva was the vice-presi-dential candidate of the small-est of Brazil’s three main parties, a woman with a national reputation as an environmental activist but little prospect of high political office. President Dilma Rousseff was cruising serenely towards re-election in the first round of the elections on 5 October, despite the fact the Brazil’s once-booming economy is in a recession. And then a small plane crashed.
Marina Silva was suppos-ed to be on that plane, but changed her plans at the last moment. All seven people who were on board died, includ-ing the presidential candidate of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), Eduardo Campos.
With the election campaign already underway, the PSB had no choice but to promote Silva in his place, and suddenly the election became a real race.
She is bright Green: her own party, which she took into coali-tion with the PSB, is called the Sustainability Network. Even more importantly in a country where half the population is
non-white, Silva is a “caboclo”, the mixed-race combination of native Indian, black and white that is common in the Amazon. On census returns, she calls herself “black”. There has never been a serious presidential con-tender who was black before.
Only two weeks after Silva was chosen to replace the late
Eduardo Campos, she has tripled the PSB’s support in the opinion polls. There is now almost no chance that Dilma Rousseff will win outright in the first round of the elec-tions. The polls predict that Silva will come second to Rousseff in that
round – and then beat the incumbent by 47 percent to 43 percent of the votes in the run-off three weeks later.
All very well, but what would Marina Silva actually do as the president of Brazil? It’s an important question, because Brazil, the world’s fifth largest country (200 million people), is going through difficult times.
Over the past twelve years the governing Workers’ Party has lifted 40 million Brazilians out of poverty, but economic growth has now stalled. Many people blame the government’s highly protectionist policies.
Silva is a plain-speaking woman with no allegations of corruption trailing her around (as they do so many other Brazilian politicians), but she has been remarkably unforth-coming on what she would do about the economy. This is because she now heads a political coalition whose major member, the PSB, is actually “business-friendly”, as they say.
Silva’s plans for the environ-
ment are equally obscure, beyond the well-known fact that she disapproves of giant hydroelectric dams in the Amazon (and she hasn’t even cancelled any of them). She still talks like a Green, but her vice-presidential running mate, Beto Albuquerque, was responsible for pushing a law legalizing the use of genetic-ally modified soybeans through Congress.
She is, in other words, a “typ-ical politician” who is trimming her sails to the prevailing wind. She accepted Albuquerque as a running mate because she needs to appeal to the agribusi-ness sector, which accounts for almost half of Brazil’s exports and a quarter of the economy.
Indeed, Silva’s economic platform is practically identi-cal to that of the centre-right candidate, Aecio Neves: she would end price controls and energy subsidies, strengthen the autonomy of the central banks, and “streamline” (i.e. cut) the federal budget. On the other hand, despite her pursuit of business support she is still strong on environmental issues in general and an end to the deforestation of the Amazon in particular.
This is not consistent, and ideologically pure Brazilian environmentalists are already disappointed in her, but she has nothing to apologize for. She has put together a set of policies and a coalition of sup-porters that are inconsistent and sometimes downright con-tradictory, but they may deliver her into the presidency. And that is the point of the exercise, after all: without power, poli-cies are irrelevant.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - Ottawa is being
urged to reconsider enhancing RRSPs as a way of getting more Canadians to save for retire-ment.
The paper by the C.D. Howe Institute says policy-makers often overlook improving Registered Retirement Savings Plans because, it is argued, not enough people actually make contributions. But the think-tank points out that by taking into account those who only have private savings for retire-ment - as opposed to those who can rely on a workplace plan - then contribution rates are much higher.
The report says that RRSPs are “most beneficial” to those who make $50,000 or more and
not covered by a work plan.The institute argues that is
not the case for low- to aver-age-income workers, or those who make less than $25,000 a year or between $25,000 to $50,000 a year, who do not have a workplace pension. It says that is because they will receive enough from the Canada Pension Plan and other government programs to main-tain their standard of living.
Using figures from Statistics Canada, the paper calculat-ed that a low-income work-er who earns $25,000 a year can expect to have dispos-able income of $22,070 less deductions while working. In retirement, the same worker can expect to receive $20,299 a year from a variety of sources,
including the CPP benefits, the Old Age Security benefits and the Guaranteed Income Supplement.
Meanwhile, an average-income worker who earns $50,000 a year can expect to have disposable income of $38,520 less deductions while employed. In retirement, the same worker will receive an estimated $23,425 a year from government sources, making the need for supplementing that retirement income with private savings much greater.
Report author Alexandre Laurin argues that Ottawa should consider changing annual RRSP limits to “lifetime contribution limits” to help benefit those who can ramp up savings later in life.
Consider changes to RRSP: institute

Elsie Hammond (nee Biensch), 94, of Kimberley/Cranbrook BC passed away Saturday Sept. 6. Elsie was born in Unity Sk. on January 15, 1920, the second of 8 kids to parents Gottlieb and Gretchen. Her early years on the mixed farm, homesteaded by her folks near Artland Sk., were busy ones with a big family and the farm – lots of work, laughter, tears, chores, community, music, dance, sports, and some pretty hard times during the depression of the 1930s. She used to laugh mischievously when telling about the tomato patch in the huge garden and her salt shaker hidden nearby! – she loved gardening. As a graduate RN in the early 1940s, her adventurous spirit took her off nursing to Salmon Arm, Revelstoke, Duncan, Yellowknife, and Wetaskiwin. While in the far north, she met her future husband Bob, a young mining engineer/prospector/adventurer who whooshed her off her feet and they were married in Wetaskiwin on Sept. 26, 1946 (67 years ago). Settling in Kimberley BC, they had 2 kids – Rick in 1947 and Sally in 1948. Shortly after, the Hammonds moved north to a remote mine about 90 km NE of Juneau, Alaska at Tulsequah BC. Five years later, the family returned to Kimberley for many happy and fun years filled with outdoor activities especially skiing, camping, and again Elsie and her green thumb tackled building and planting the garden and yard. The family always knew spring had arrived when the odorifus aroma of manure wafted through the air – a new load on the garden and the winters compost turned!In the late 1960s, as empty nesters, Elsie and Bob spent over 20 years in the West Kootenays of BC between Riondel and Tadanac (Trail) where they spent many active retirement years, camping, hiking, and gardening in the summers and both alpine and x-country skiing in the mild winters. Through the years, Elsie utilized her nursing skills to train Candy Stripers in hospitals and volunteered at the Red Cross Blood Donor Clinics, Well Womens Clinic, and Girl Guide camps. She taught Adult Education Cooking classes and hundreds of people learned how to make tasty hearty soups and her famous homemade bread – the class called “How to make 150% whole grain bread”. An appreciation of Nature and its cycles was an integrated part of her very being and she always tried to interest and educate others to feel the same wonder and amazement. When out walking, she was rarely without binoculars, magnifying glass, and a bag to pick up garbage, the bird and flower books not far off. In her neighbourhoods, the kids knew her as “the Bird Lady” who would help identify the live ones and examine the lifeless they brought to her. We all learned to observe the amazing views and details of nature, the trees, mountains, plants, birds, animals, insects, and the clouds. Elsie and Bob moved back to Kimberley in 1990 where Rick, wife Daphne, and their sons Dana (10) and Benson (1) relocated soon after. Daughter Sal was fairly close by in the Slocan Valley during the summers. Elsie’s two grandsons were now one of her main focuses. She spent many many happy hours traipsing through the woods sharing her love, passion, and knowledge of nature with them.Elsies wonderful lifelong outlook of -- ‘make the best of it’ went hand in hand with one of her favorite sayings --“I was born under a lucky star”. This held true even during the past few years with dementia, always maintaining her cheerful, playful, and curious nature.Her surviving immediate family – husband Bob in Cranbrook, son Rick & wife Daphne in Kimberley, grandsons Dana in Whitehorse and Benson in Calgary, daughter Sally & husband Randy in Slocan Valley, granddaughter Karen & great grandson Dylan in Ottawa, brother Roy and wife Joan in Calgary, brother Bob and wife Marg in Artland, brother Harold in White Rock.Should you wish, a donation to the Kootenay Naturalists at www. bcnature.ca website would be welcomed. Please include on it “in memory of Elsie Hammond” and they will forward it directly to the Kootenay Naturalists.
Obituary
Elsie Anna Hammond
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - At the
time Terry Fox was treated for the bone cancer that claimed his leg and eventu-ally led to his death in 1981, few patients survived that kind of malignancy, known as an osteosarcoma. But advances in treatment over the last few dec-ades have dramatically altered that grim prog-nosis, with the major-ity of patients today not only keeping their limbs, but many also surviving the cancer.
When the B.C. teen was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his right leg in 1977, doctors immediately amputated the limb above the knee - the standard treatment then - and he embarked on a 16-month mara-thon of chemotherapy, a drug regimen for this kind of bone can-cer that was still some-what experimental at the time.
For many Canadians, the heroic runner’s name has become synonymous with osteosarcoma, the most common form of primary bone cancer to affect chil-dren and teens, and one that also occurs
rarely in older adults.“And that’s always a
good and bad analogy because they know who he is but that he had his leg cut off and died - and that’s not the typical scen-ario now,” says Dr. Jay Wunder, a sur-geon at Mount Sinai in Toronto who special-izes in sarcomas.
“Most bone sar-coma patients now don’t have amputa-tions. Most get limb-sparing or limb-recon-structive surgery,” says Wunder. “Now the cure rate’s almost up to 80 per cent in younger patients. In older patients it’s more like 70 per cent.
“So that’s a pretty big turnaround in a couple of decades.”
When Dave Lambert, 63, was diag-nosed with sarcoma in his left knee almost two years ago, he was initially unaware of the connection to Fox, nor that the path he would follow had been made so much easier by the determined teen who set out in 1980 to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research.
The businessman from Aurora, Ont., just north of Toronto, had developed a bump on his left knee, which rapidly grew into a large mass and burst open when he tripped and fell.
His doctor told him a biopsy had confirmed it was a sarcoma.
“He just looked at me and said, ‘Remember Terry Fox?”’
“I’m an older man and when I was grow-ing up anybody who had cancer, they just died,” says Lambert. “And when you heard the word ‘Terry Fox,’ the immediate vision I remember, all that flashed in front of my face, was Terry Fox los-ing his leg and I could picture him running and then being dead. That’s all I thought of when he said that word to me and then I just went into shock, total shock.”
But during a refer-ral appointment with Wunder the following week, Lambert learn-ed his cancer was no longer considered an automatic death sen-tence.
Surgery did not mean losing part of his leg; instead the tumour was removed and tissues in and around the joint were reconstructed.
“It was a very hum-bling experience,” says Lambert, who was up walking within weeks of the operation and says his knee “looks great.”
While much prog-ress has been made in treating osteosar-coma, there is still much work needed to advance treatment for most of the 50 or so other sarcomas, which in overall cancer terms are still considered rare.
On Sunday, an estimated 200,000 Canadians will join Terry Fox runs in almost 800 commun-ities across the coun-try, and an estimated three million partici-pants will take part in runs hosted by 9,400 schools throughout September.
Since Fox began his Marathon of Hope, $650 million has been raised in the fight against cancer.

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.
“‘But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.’ Therefore He shall give them up, until the time that she who is in labor has given birth” (Mic. 5:2-3 NKJV).Today we celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of the Messiah. She is the one who is in labor, about to give birth, in this Messianic prophecy. She will give birth to him “who is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting” (Mic. 5:2 NKJV). It is he who “will save his people from their sins” (Matt. 1:21).Because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve death entered into the world as a punishment for sin (Gen. 2:17; Rom. 6:23; 5:12). But by the one righteous act of the Messiah (on the cross) all who believe in him will be made righteous (Rom. 5:18-19). In him we have peace, for “this One shall be peace” (Mic. 5:5 NKJV), “for now He shall be great to the ends of the earth” (Mic. 5:4 NKJV), as we now see him to be. He is with us everywhere, in all places, to give us his peace. He is our peace.For this reason he came into the world, to be Emmanuel, God with us and God within us. In him, at last, we have the de� nitive remission of our sins that rob us of interior peace. So now he pastures us in his peace. “And He shall stand and feed His � ock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God; and they shall abide” (Mic. 5:4 NKJV). This is why at his birth the angels sang over the plains of Bethlehem, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14 KJV).
In him “all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God” (Ps. 97:3 NKJV). The Messiah ful� lls the prophecy of the palmist, “O Israel, hope in the Lord! For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities” (Ps. 129:7-8).
Jesus Christ is the one that Mary brought forth. He is the ful� llment of prophecy. In him the kingdom of David will be established forever, as the prophet Nathan told David, “When your days are ful� lled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom” (2 Sam. 7:12). About David the psalmist prophesies: “I will establish his line for ever and his throne as the days of the heavens” (Ps. 88:29). “His line shall endure for ever, his throne as long as the sun before me. Like the moon it shall be established for ever; it shall stand � rm while the skies endure” (Ps. 88:36-37).
This Messianic Son of David “will save his people from their sins” (Matt. 1:21), for “there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). He is Emmanuel, God with us, God within us (Matt. 1:23). In him God dwells with us and within us, shining with his righteousness in our hearts, for on the cross he redeemed us from our sins, suffering their just and necessary punishment for us. He is the sun of righteousness (Mal. 4:2) that rises over the world for its salvation and illumination, and today we rejoice in the birth of his mother.© Copyright 2007-2009 Rev.

Trail Times Friday, September 12, 2014 www.trailtimes.ca A9
I caught up with Bhaktimarga Swami by phone shortly after he completed his fourth “Can Walk” across Canada. Unsure what I should call the man more common-
ly known as the “Walking Monk”, my first ques-tion was practical: “How should I address you?” With that awkwardness out of the way, we entered into a conversation that transcended religious doctrine, dogma and belief systems.
Swami, born in Ontario as John Peter Vis, adopted the Eastern monastic lifestyle of the Hare Krishna movement some forty years ago. In 1996, he completed his first pilgrimage across Canada, journeying from west to east. Since that time, he has completed three more cross country treks, each time travelling in the opposite direction, and seeking out new routes.
He conceived the idea to walk across Canada one day while walking in a ravine in Toronto. “It was almost like a light bulb lit up,” he told me of the moment that led him to walk across the country, “as a monk might do it; (to) travel kind of lightly, and meet people along the
way, spend enough time in a place, as long as it takes to milk a cow, as we say in our tradition”, before continuing the journey.
In many religious traditions, the journey is a metaphor for the growth of the soul as it enters more profoundly into an encounter with the Divine. Since Swami has crossed the country on foot multiple times, I asked him if walking is more than a metaphor for him. Not surpris-ingly, it is. “It’s a natural position of the spirit or soul to wander in this world and to walk it in wonder and in appreciation. So (wandering) puts you in that spot where you need to be, that place of humility which is the basis of success in life.”
Swami explained that walking along busy highways with vehicles barreling past or trek-king through remote and beautiful landscapes is a lesson in detachment. “You learn to take it all in, the heat, the wind, the rain, the cold, the black flies, the mosquitoes, attention by the public, no attention, traffic – with all of that, you learn detachment.”
These external factors, along with the physical discomfort that comes from walking thirty to forty-five kilometers per day, and the spiritual challenges of facing your own defi-ciencies, help a person learn disentanglement from this world.
We discussed the idea of detachment in light of today’s culture, with its emphasis on self and acquisition. At the core of the self “there is this passion to move about and pick up on all the little nuances the world has to offer”. We shared the view that our passions may become misdirected, and we may find ourselves walk-ing in a direction that leads us away from our deepest yearnings.
“Movement brings about a lot of revela-tion and epiphany about our smallness, our insignificance, and about how much bigger the universal machinery is than our self. Getting to the point of taking the humble stance is the end product” of the long and arduous spiritual journey which, I am sure Swami would agree, is always a walk in progress.

Nearly $3,500 of original art-work was stolen from the Fernie Arts Co-op last week, leaving co-op members and artists in a state of shock.
“It’s really unfortunate,” artist Judy James said.
She added her initial reaction was, “shock, first and then after that you get mad that someone
would actually do that.”The local wildlife artist’s $2,000
grizzly bear painting on slate was stolen from the store — a piece she said took over a year to create.
James has since removed her artwork from the store.
The other stolen piece was a bear sculpture that artist Brad Dunn carved from Revelstoke stone, weighing in at around 10 lbs and valued at $1,190.
B y g r e g n e s t e r o f fNelson Star
A man who admit-ted to stealing more than $1,200 worth
of goods from two Nelson businesses has been sentenced to six months in jail.
Paddy Gene
Doherty, 41, pled guilty Tuesday to theft, two counts of posses-sion of stolen property, and breaching a proba-
tion order.Court heard that
on June 24, Walmart security called police after spotting a couple
leaving the store with a shopping cart full of about $750 worth of merchandise they hadn’t paid for.
Doherty’s co-accused, Renee Caron, stopped but Doherty ran to his truck and took off.
Police located Doherty nearby along with the vehicle, still full of stolen prop-erty. It was discovered the pair had been in Walmart earlier that day and taken out another full cart of merchandise worth about $480.
In addition, police located a stolen electric
drill and other tools swiped from Kootenay Industrial Supply. All the stolen property was returned, except some perishable food times.
In addition to admitting to those crimes, Doherty acknowledged stealing from the government liquor store on May 16. Video surveillance showed Doherty hand-ling bottles of vodka to Caron, who placed them in her purse. The four bottles had a com-bined value of about $200.
Doherty was also in breach of a proba-tion order by being in
a business with Caron. He was sentenced in June 2013 to jail time plus a year’s pro-bation for a theft in Cranbrook.
Crown prosecutor Sunday Patola called the crimes “blatant thefts” and noted Doherty has a “very bad history of property offenses” for which he has served “signifi-cant” jail time. She asked for a sentence of four to six months.
Caron was previ-ously sentenced to 15 days in jail on the same matter and placed on probation for two years.

B Y G R E G N E S T E R O F FNelson Star
The co-accused in a series of armed rob-beries in Nelson and Castlegar has been denied bail.
Andrew Stevenson, 34, appeared in Nelson court in person for the first time Tuesday since his arrest April 25. His previous appearances have all been by video from jail. He was injured being taken into cus-tody and is still using crutches. He wore a gray striped golf shirt and blue pants.
However, Judge Ron Fabbro recused himself because he previously heard search warrant appli-cations in the case and as a result said he didn’t feel comfort-able issuing further rulings.
He explained that he was returning to the bench after a three-month leave and didn’t realize that the matter would be before him.
“I have been involved in issuing a number of search warrants in the mat-ter, some time before I went on leave in June,” he said.
“Having heard the material put before me in support of the search warrants, it would not be appro-priate for me to hear the bail application.”
Fabbro apolo-gized to the lawyers in the case and said he would have noti-fied them sooner had he realized it would come before him.
Stevenson faces 21 charges stemming from hold-ups at the Kootenay Currency Exchange in which a shot was fired, Nelson and District Credit
Union, Kootenay Savings in Castlegar, and Johnny’s Grocery in Robson, plus two break-ins at pharma-cies in March and April.
Among other counts, he is accused of possession of a
restricted weapon, pointing a firearm, possession of stolen property over $5,000, and fleeing police.
Stevenson, who has yet to enter a plea, said nothing in court. His bail hearing was put over to Wednesday
in Castlegar, where his request for release was refused.
His co-accused, Krista Kalmikoff, has been released on bail. Her lawyer has indicated that she intends to plead not guilty and elect trial
by judge and jury.Stevenson and
Kalmikoff were both arrested the day of the
Nelson credit union robbery. They have not been charged in robberies at the
Kootenay Savings in Salmo and Shoppers Simply Pharmacy in Castlegar.

BY JIM BAILEYTimes Sports Editor
With four shiny, new banners hanging from Beaver Valley Arena, the Nitehawks begin their quest to repeat as division, KIJHL, BC and Western Canadian Jr. B champions tonight when they face off against perennial nem-esis the Nelson Leafs.
The Hawks went 3-2-1 in their brief exhibition season, including a 2-1 loss to Creston on Tuesday night, but Hawks vet-eran player Taylor Stafford is confident that the Nitehawks will again vie for top spot in the Neil Murdoch div-ision.
“We’re looking pretty good, we have lots of speed and a good veteran presence – I think we’ll have a good year,” added Stafford who starts his third season with the Hawks.
Despite the unprecedented suc-cess of last year’s team, which won its first Keystone Cup, Stafford doesn’t put much cre-dence in the champion-ship hangover.
“It was an unreal experience, nothing could match it, and if anything it made me more excited to get the year going. It’s a great goal to do it again, after you do it once, you want to do it again that’s for sure.”
A major move behind the bench saw a former Trail Smoke Eaters head coach, Jim Ingram, take over for Jamie Cominotto as defensive coach. Ingram brings a wealth of experience to the position and allows Cominotto to move to assistant manager.
“I’m really excited,” said Ingram. “It caught me off guard a little bit, but at the same time I’m excited to be here, glad to be a part of it.”
Ingram last coached
the BCHL Cowichan Valley Capitals from 2011-13, following four years as the Smokies bench boss, and his new responsibilities will be a change from his more accustomed role.
“It really was one of those situations, like tonight, during the time out I’m use to being the guy, and it was nice just to watch Jonesy (coach Terry Jones) do his thing and how he directs traffic out there,” said Ingram. “It doesn’t matter what level you’re at, you’re always learning.”
The 43-year-old Ladysmith native is no stranger to Jr. B hock-ey having coached the Kerry Park Islanders of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League to a pair of league titles. His tenure with the Smokies peaked in his final year when he led the team into the playoffs.
As for the Nitehawks, Ingram says the
environment is so posi-tive he is relishing the experience.
“It’s not a secret why they do a great job, but always win here. It’s a real family atmosphere and a lot of fun to be a part of.”
As for the Nitehawks’ defence, the team’s back end took a hit with the loss of cap-tain Archie McKinnon, Fraser Stang, Sheldon Hubbard, and Jeremy Lucchini, yet, the return of Lyle Frank, Walker Sidoni, and the acquisition of Andy Miller from the Kimberley Dynamiters provide a solid founda-tion for the new assist-ant coach.
“It’s a good young group of hockey players back there . . . they’re big, they’re mobile, but there’s a lot of work to do, but their attitudes are great and the inter-actions I’ve had with them so far, they are very coachable.”
No doubt the Hawks
will be a different team this year, with many of last year’s stars gradu-ated or moved onto the BCHL; still, a qual-ity core, led by third-year players Stafford and Jacob Boyczuk, and returnees Sam Swanson, Kyle Hope, and Mitch Foyle up front should provide some offensive punch.
“We have a team that has some speed, and we feel pretty good about our skill level,” said coach Terry Jones. “Now it’s a matter of seeing what we can do.”
A couple of bright lights stood out on Tuesday when Hayden Chase and Ross Armour finished a pretty pass-ing play to net the Hawks only goal against the ThunderCats. Armour is one of two 16-year-old players on the squad, the other, Spencer McLean, also shone, showing speed and finesse in the offen-sive zone.
“The 16 year olds
is always the toughest part of the camp, and always seems to be . . . it was really diffi-cult but we felt Ross Armour and Spencer McLean really battled, they played well, con-tributed offensively, and showed they deserved to be on the club.”
The Nitehawks are built for speed, how-ever, they lack a bit in size, and will be hard pressed to match the scoring prowess of last year’s squad.
“We’re going to have to do it more by com-mittee this year,” says Ingram. “We have a real blue-collar feel to us, and I like that. I like our team. I think it’s going to be a lot dif-ferent a month from now, and way different a month after that.”
The Nitehawks play in Nelson tonight at 7 p.m. and will open their home season hosting the 100 Mile House Wranglers Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
B Y J I M B A I L E YTimes Sports EditorThe Trail Smoke
Eaters face off in a h o m e - a n d - h o m e exhibition series with the Selkirk College Saints this weekend.
Smoke Eater coach Nick Deschenes is looking forward to the challenge and playing the defending BC Intercollegiate Hockey League champs.
“They’ve got a good mix of older players, and they are competitive within their league, and I think it’s going to be a really good test,” says Deschenes. “If the game is played the right way, it should be a really good benefit for our crew as far as getting prepared for the BCHL Showcase next weekend.”
Trail is fresh off a split of games with the Merritt Centennials where they won 4-2 and lost 7-5 last week-end.
The Saints fea-ture some ex-Beaver Valley Nitehawks in Jamie Vlanich, Ryan Edwards, Mason Spear and Arie Postmus and former Smoke Eaters Clayton McEwan, Darnell Dyck, Logan Proulx and most recent-ly Jesse Knowler. Knowler spent the last two seasons with the Smoke Eaters squad collecting 16 goals, 42 assists and 58 points in 84 games from 2012-2014.
“We are excited to finally play some games,” said new Saints head coach Alex Evin in a release. “Our team has been practicing for the last three weeks and the
players are anxious to get going. I am look-ing forward to both programs showcasing their talented teams in front of our very supportive Kootenay fans.”
For Evin it will be his first action at the helm of the two-time BCIHL cham-pions, and with new assistant coach Brent Heaven, also a former Trail Smoke Eater assistant, this year’s team should again compete for a BCIHL title.
“We will have a very competitive line up among ourselves as our new recruits will be pushing our veteran players for ice time,” Evin added. “We expect to have a strong team again and our coaching staff is looking forward to evaluating our players this weekend.”
The Saints are com-ing off their second straight BCIHL title after sweeping the playoffs versus Trinity Western University and Thomson Rivers University in March.
While it is the Smokies final set of games before the BCHL opens its sea-son in Chilliwack next Friday, it marks the first of five exhibition games for the Saints.
Selkirk will host Trinity Western in Trail at the Cominco Arena on Sept. 19 and then face Grant MacEwan University from the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference in a doubleheader Sept. 27 and 28 at the Castlegar Complex.
The Smokies game at the Castlegar Rec Complex goes at 7 p.m. tonight, while Trail hosts the Saints at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the Cominco Arena.

Pretty sad week in the Home of Champions. One iconic
Trailite, Seth Martin, passed away Saturday night and a long-time integral part of the area sports scene, Glynn, “Taffy,” Harper, fol-lowed him Wednesday morning.
No doubt that Seth
was the best known world wide. He was a standout internation-al goaltender for the Smoke Eaters/Team Canada, in the 60s and also a visible local resident, businessman, friend, family man and sports fan.
Despite what some green-eyed residents sometimes muttered,
he really was that good. You do not get to be a crucial part of minor, major junior, senior, international and NHL hockey teams unless you are that good.
It could be pretty hard to tell Seth was that competitive, com-bative even, while competing from just chatting with him.
He certainly did not bring his stellar past up and was pretty cas-ual about his major accomplishments even when that became the
topic. But, those that played with him, at every level, would tell you he was fierce and focused - and saved the day on many occasions - on the ice.
Probably the first senior amateur goalie to don a mask, which he designed and con-tributed to building (he also helped many friends acquire one)
he was certainly the first international goalie to wear the mod-ern version - a true mask, not the cages that were just becom-
ing available, mostly for minor hockey, at the time.
Seth’s career was pretty spectacular- a gold and two bronze world championship medals (he and the rest of Team Canada were blatantly screwed out of an Olympic bronze at the 64 games) along with four world championship and an Olympic all-star selec-tions. He is enshrined, on his own and with several of his team-mates, in a variety of Halls of Fame and, of
course, on the big rock at KSCU.
His frequent bril-liance on the ice, which led to later coaching positions, cannot be questioned. He was part of Allan Cup sen-ior hockey champions in Trail and elsewhere and despite playing behind the already legendary Glenn Hall, was an integral part of the St. Louis Blues run to the 1967 Stanley Cup finals.
All that, and more, being said, I and many others will miss Seth the friend, the guy who dropped by to sweep the floor (which always was in dire need of it) at Mota’s, and liked to chat and kibitz when-ever he got the chance with whomever was up for it.
Seth was a piece of sports history, but he was also a personal piece of the mosaic that is the Home of Champions, as a resi-dent, contributor and friend. Sad it was all so quick, the ending. Great that many of us, and others around the world, got to be part of, mostly vicariously, his achievements, and some of us fit into his humble personal cir-cle.
RIP Seth.See , Page 15

FROM PAGE 11Taffy was a pretty good hockey player
in his own right - not at the iconic level of the senior/international/professional hockey world Seth inhabited, perhaps, but a pretty successful winner of minor hock-ey titles up through junior, and recrea-tional play, despite his diminutive frame.
It says something that he was able to make every rep team, including the Smoke Eaters, for which he turned out to try. Trail teams were the best in the prov-ince, generally by a wide margin, during Taffy’s youth, so competition for spots on them was fierce.
That’s not the part that was most important about Taffy, however. His forte was in organizing multitudes of activities, from golf tournaments of varied serious-ness to hockey and football pools which helped a lot of us while away the winter months.
Attention to detail, including keeping up with sports here and around the world, was his most noticeable talent, one he put to good use on behalf of others.
The football pool, by the way, is con-tinuing, at least this year, in his honour. Sheets are available from the usual sus-pects and at the usual sites.
Also in honour of a guy who fought the good fight and made room in his often-cluttered life for multitudes of friends, there will be many a raised glass to his life and passing in coming days.
He, too, was a family man who made most of a great life right here where it started.
RIP Taff
In memory of ‘Taff’
B y T i m e s s T a f fA number of West Kootenay Hockey
products will be taking to the ice today in the NHL’s Young Stars Tournaments going across North America.
In Penticton, Montrose’s Connor and Kellen Jones will lace them up for the Edmonton Oilers Rookie team at the South Okanagan Events Centre, while Nelson’s Dryden Hunt and Isaac McLeod will play for the Carolina Hurricanes and Columbus Blue Jackets Rookie teams respectively in Traverse City, Michigan.
The tournament will be a good measuring stick for the Jones’ who graduated from Quinnipiac University this past summer, and signed a playing contract with the Oilers AHL affiliate Oklahoma City Barons last April.
The competition will be fierce with the 2014 third-overall pick Leon Draisaitl on board and coming off a 100-point season playing for Prince Albert in the WHL.
The Jones’ also join at least six other forwards who scored 34 or more goals last season in the Canadian Hockey League. The list includes the aforementioned Draisaitl (38), 2012 second-round pick Mitch Moroz (35) and 2013 draft picks Greg Chase (35) and Jackson Houck (34).
Western Hockey League scoring cham-pion Mitch Holmberg (62 goals) and Josh Winquist (47 goals for defensive-minded Everett last season) have signed minor-league deals and should provide the Oilers’ rookies with scoring depth as well.
Former Prince George Spruce King forward Jujhar Khaira will also look to create an impression after a decent season
with the WHL’s Everett Silvertips where he registered 43 points.
For the past three seasons, Hunt has been playing for the WHL’s Regina Pats. He finished the last campaign with an impres-sive 40 points, notching 21 goals and 19 assists in 62 games.
This summer, after being overlooked in the NHL draft, Hunt received a call from the Hurricanes, inviting him to train with the squad’s prospects. He went there in July and enjoyed a successful campaign, consid-ering he faced some stumbling blocks.
My gear didn’t show up. The air-line lost it,” he told the Nelson Star on
Tuesday.Despite playing with all new gear,
Hunt performed well enough to earn an invite to this week’s tournament.
“They said they liked what they saw so I was happy with my perform-ance.”
He left Wednesday to meet the squad in Michigan. Once at the tour-nament, Hunt will test his skills against other young NHL hopefuls. Teams participating in that event include the Minnesota Wild, St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres, Dallas Stars, New York Rangers as well as the Hurricanes, Blue Jackets and the Red Wings, which have another Nelson native, Jim Hiller, behind the bench as assistant coach.
“I’m just
going to go there and play my game, do what I do best,” said Hunt who described himself as a power forward.
MacLeod meanwhile is in his fourth year at Boston College playing in the NCAA div. 1. The talented defenceman grew up in the Nelson Minor Hockey system, played for the Kootenay AAA Midget Ice, the Nelson Junior Leafs as a 16-year-old and then with the Penticton Vees of the BCHL. In 2010, the San Jose Sharks picked MacLeod in the fifth round of the NHL draft.

Dear Annie: I am a 21-year-old college student. I have found someone I am really close to and would love to have a relationship with. The problem is, she is already in a rela-tionship with someone else.
We worked togeth-er for two years and became best friends. Unfortunately, she left the job to focus on school. We still talk, and I always ask myself whether I should tell her how I truly feel and risk tarnishing the friendship. Should I just be happy the way things are? -- Trouble in the Ville
Dear Trouble: It is bad form to go after someone who is already attached. So our rec-ommendation is to leave things alone and enjoy the friendship. However, should she break up with her boy-friend, that would be an OK time to express your feelings. You already understand that she may not feel
the same way and the friendship could suffer as a result, but if you are both unattached, you may as well give it a try. You never know.
Dear Annie: I am a senior citizen, and I have a problem with being touched. Why do people think they can greet me with a hug?
Smokers ask wheth-er you mind if they smoke, so why can’t huggers ask before hugging? I don’t mean to sound rude, but what can I do about this? -- Touchy Senior Citizen
Dear Touchy: A great many people do not like to be hugged, especially by vague acquaintanc-es. When you see some-
one approaching with arms out, it’s perfectly OK to take a step back, put your hand out and say politely, “Sorry. I’m not a hugger. But it’s nice to see you.” As people get to know you, they will respect your preference automati-cally. Please be patient.
Dear Annie: I am writing in regard to the letter from “California Grandma.” Grandma was displeased with the conduct of her 13-year-old granddaughter, who just graduated middle school and didn’t invite her to the gradua-tion. Grandma wanted to know whether she could revoke an offer she made to pay the girl $5,000 if she graduated high school with all B’s or better.
Your response, which began with, “It’s your money. You can do whatever you like with it,” may be legally incorrect. Grandma made an offer, and if the granddaughter accept-ed the offer, a valid con-tract was created at that
moment, and Grandma can no longer revoke it. If granddaughter performs, Grandma is obligated to pay her. If she doesn’t pay up, the granddaughter can sue for breach of contract. The fact that it may have been an oral con-tract is not the issue. In this type of scenario, oral contracts are bind-ing. Nor is the fact that this is a minor child an issue.
Minors may enter into contracts, and the right of revocation rests with the minor, not the adult.
Normally with these types of contracts, it would be Grandma’s word against the granddaughter’s. But Grandma just admitted making the offer in the newspaper, so the con-tract exists.
The moral of the story is, be careful what you promise the kids. It can have binding legal ramifications. It’s a good thing Grandma didn’t promise her a car. -- Florida Lawyer
Dear Florida: What a world. Fortunately for Grandma, let-ters in our column are anonymous, and there are dozens, if not thousands, of grand-parents who make such promises to their grandchildren. So it’s still Grandma’s word
against the grand-daughter’s that this letter came from her. Nonetheless, we don’t believe Grandma should rescind the offer. It was for grades, not behavior, and she should keep her word.

For Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Whether you are aware of it or not, you might be too blunt in your conversations with others today. Therefore, think before you speak. (And remember that courtesy will open doors to things you never imagined.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your work routine will be interrupted today, perhaps because of computer crash-es, power outages, canceled meetings or staff shortages. Allow extra time in your day so that you have some wiggle room to deal with this. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an accident-prone day for your children, so if you are a parent, be vigilant! This also is an accident-prone day for sports events and activities in the entertainment world and the hospitality industry. CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Family disputes might occur today because your home scene is interrupted. This could be due to the breakdown of small appliances or minor breakages. Patience! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is an accident-prone day for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Think before you speak or act. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might find money today; you might lose money. If shopping, keep your receipts and count your change. Guard your possessions against loss or theft. It’s a crapshoot. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Relations with others are bumpy today, because people are blunt and possibly even rude. Basically, someone is speaking without thinking, and it doesn’t sound pretty. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) It’s easy to overlook details today, so if you are doing important work, please
double-check everything. However, you easily will do science, mathematics, astrol-ogy and technical disciplines. Go figure.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Conversations with author-
ity figures are unpredictable today; they could go either way. If you feel nervous about talking to your boss, stay away. Trust your intuition. Do not wake the sleeping giant. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel plans will be can-celed, rescheduled or delayed today. Similarly, schedules related to higher education (colleges and universities) will be interrupted. PISCES
(Feb. 19 to March 20) Others might seem too slow for you today. Nevertheless, in your haste you might over-look something. It’s easy to be impatient, because you’re hungry for new experiences. YOU BORN TODAY You have determination, resil-ience, willpower and persever-ance. (Impressive.) This is why you always get the job done! In addition, others respect your sincerity and dedica-tion to whatever cause you
embrace. You have excellent powers of concentration. This year, your success lies with others. People will benefit you. Therefore, make friends and join clubs. Help others, because you also will be help-ing yourself. Birthdate of: Tyler Perry, actor/filmmaker; Alain Ducasse, chef; Jean Smart, actress. (c) 2014 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

T h e C r a n b r o o k T o w n s m a nThe RDEK took another step to
allowing medical marijuana produc-tion with a slew of proposed bylaw amendments last week at a monthly board meeting.
However, don’t expect any medi-cinal operations to spring up over-night.
The board gave each of the 13 bylaws a second reading and set up meetings across the region for pub-lic feedback.
At issue is setting out land-use conditions for an operation that pro-duces medical marijuana. The fed-eral government controls the regu-lations around licenses and permits,
but the RDEK has the authority to approve locations for any potential facilities, according to Area C direc-tor Rob Gay.
“So now when someone comes and says, ‘I’d like to pursue this’, we can say, ‘Here’s the rules for this zoning bylaw. If you want to do it in the Rockyview area, this is the rules,
if you want to do it in the Elk Valley, this is the rules’,” Gay said.
The federal government changed the regulations earlier this year, allowing the production of larger-scale medical marijuana operations.
Gay added that the RDEK has heard from a couple people interest-ed in setting up such an operation.
