Chamber considers

post-KIOTAC Kimberley

C ArOLyN gr ANTeditor@dailybulletin.ca

The Kimberley and Dis-trict Chamber of Com-merce is looking at life after KIOTAC and don’t much like the view.

While Chamber Presi-dent Darren Close says it was perhaps inevitable that the venerable festival would eventually end just given demographics, it was still a shock to see it end so abruptly.

“I appreciate and under-stand why they withdrew,” Close said. “But it was hugely important for busi-nesses and it leaves a big hole.”’

It’s a hole that has to be filled in some way, Close says, though what the solu-tion may be hasn’t been en-tirely thought out yet.

One thing the Chamber believes could be a help is a City-sponsored Event Co-ordinator.

“Our business leaders have voiced a need for a City of Kimberley Event Co-ordinator, an expert of the festival and event process,” Close wrote in a letter to Kimberley City Council. “Festivals bring not only

economic growth to our city but awareness of the vast amenities Kimberley has to offer. The Chamber membership would be keen to support an Event coordinator.”

Close is hopeful the City will consider the request. He also hopes the City would be willing to work with the Chamber on com-ing up with something to replace KIOTAC, though he grants it may never be pos-sible to duplicate its suc-cess.

“We don’t necessarily think we can replace KIO-TAC but maybe we could grow it into a music festival that includes a KIOTAC component, maybe blues or jazz, a multi-genre event.”

Key to this would be KITAC volunteers and board members being will-ing to mentor a new festi-val.

“The have knowledge and skill,” Close said. “They could be mentors for what happens next. “This could be an opportunity for KIO-TAC to evolve.

“We want to do the best we can to fill the hole KIO-TAC leaves.”

A Cranbrook landmark, which happens to be one of the province’s oldest conservation projects, has un-dergone a rejuvenation thanks to Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) and Columbia Basin Trust (CBT).

The two organizations worked to-gether to bebuild the water control structures at Elizabeth Lake, on the edge of Cranbrook, which means a more healthy marsh and excellent wildlife habitat.

The six-hectare Elizabeth Lake Park is a wildlife reserve on a migra-tory bird flight path. Every year the wetlands and lake become a nesting and feeding grounds for many differ-ent species.

“Before the initial enhancement work nearly 30 years ago, the wetland was overgrown with bulrush and was at risk of being drained and en-croaching urban development,” said Brad Arner, manager of provincial operations for B.C. “Because the original structures were starting to

deteriorate, this rebuild was needed to eliminate those risks and to ensure this important waterfowl habitat was not lost.”

The rebuild of Elizabeth Lake’s water controls will allow the area to continue as both excellent wildlife habitat, and a recreational and edu-cational resource for the city of Cran-brook and surrounding communities for another 30 years. DUC did most of the groundwork, with financial sup-port from CBT. DUC also received funding from B.C.’s Habitat Conser-vation Trust Foundation for this proj-ect.

“A new water control system will help maintain the lake’s ecological integrity for decades to come,” said Rick Allen, CBT program manager, environment.

CBT supports efforts to deliver so-cial, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Co-lumbia Basin. To learn more about CBT programs and initiatives, visit www.cbt.org or call 1.800.505.8998.

Arson charges have been laid in relation the suspicious fire that de-stroyed three partially built condo-minium buildings at Columbia Eagle Resort in Fairmont Hot Springs on December 22, 2012.

As of January 17, a 20-year-old fe-male from Fairmont Hot Springs and a 25-year-old male from Invermere

have been arrested and charges are being forwarded to Crown Counsel.

The fire, which lasted three hours, caused damages estimated to be be-tween $1.5 million and $2 million.

The two suspects were identified as the result of an ongoing arson investi-gation, which also determined that the owners had no insurance and that the buildings had no electrical or water services.

A 24-show in 31-days BC whirlwind tour

For the Bulletin

Multi-instrumentalist Shane Philip (Best Live Act – 2012 Vancou-ver Island Music Awards), is known worldwide for his dynamic didgeri-doo-infused music. Philip has been touring constantly for the past few years now. His rhythmic and intoxi-cating sounds are powerful enough to fill a room with dancing fans and soulful enough to quiet a packed house. Those songs have captured audiences for years in Canada, par-ticularly along the west coast, but for the past five years, he’s captured listeners around the globe.

He released Earthshake in 2006, introducing his unique sound and creating a small following almost instantly. By 2008, he released In the Moment, which showed further that he could seamlessly blend folk, reggae and blues genres into his own creation. The title track of this album is one of his best works to date. The tracks include the occa-sional surf beats that made him stand out to me.

He followed this impressive project with Live at Baker Studios in 2009. Heavier on the blues side, this album had more of the grit that comes out during Philip’s live

shows, which was essential for any-one who had never been to a per-formance.

Philip is a one-man force on stage. His feet wildly work his drum kit while he plays guitar, the aslatua, the djembe and, of course, his didgeridoos. His best work to date definitely came last year when he released Life Love Music. The album is rich with vocals and fea-tures much more of that mesmeriz-ing sound that Shane Philip is so well known for.

Philip hooked up once again with producer Joby Baker (Cowboy Junkies, Alex Cuba) and the two collaborated for what is another memorable product. Baker often plays bass and drums on the tracks and the two took a total of eight days to record. Might sound quick, but Philip is known for completing his projects quickly. The Baker Stu-dios album took two days, as an ex-ample. The result, though, of taking the extra time is a wonderfully pol-ished recording that maintains the grit and integrity of Philip’s compo-sitions.

This year, Shane is well on his way to releasing a new album and those who attend his show at the The Edge on January 31 can look forward to hearing some of the un-released tracks.

Kevin Armstrong presents: Opera for

Heathens February 10 at Centre 64

“Opera for Heathens” is a post-modern opera-rock cabaret for the 21st Century. Kevin Arm-strong is a versatile and unortho-dox performer. He has forged a career in both Canada and Eu-rope, performing everything from traditional opera and musi-cal theatre, to one-man-shows where he pairs his 4-octave vocal range with his skills as a guitarist. Kevin performs a wide range of music, from opera arias and mu-sical numbers, to grandiose, vo-cal-oriented music by Meat Loaf (in German), Queen, Styx, and others. “Opera for Heathens” is being presented at Centre 64 (64 Deer Park Ave. Kimberley) on Sunday, February 10th. Tickets are $15, and the show will begin at 2pm.

Kevin grew up in the richly artistic community of Nelson, British Columbia, where he was exposed to all types of music, vi-sual art and theatre. Kevin start-ed music lessons by age 10, and by college, had already studied

classical, jazz and rock guitar, drums and voice. After complet-ing a Master’s degree in vocal performance at McGill Universi-ty in Montreal, Kevin moved to Zürich, Switzerland, where he did an apprenticeship at the Zürich Opera house. There he had the opportunity to perform onstage next to some of the big-gest names in the opera world.

“Opera for Heathens” was a hit at the 2011 Edmonton Fringe, as well as the 2012 Vancouver Fringe, playing to sold-out hous-

es and rave reviews. Some of Kevin’s other recent credits in-clude the world-premiere of the opera “Khaos” with the Nelson Community Opera, the roles of Pilate and Judas in numerous productions of Jesus Christ Su-perstar, as well as opera perfor-mances in Frankfurt, Wiesbaden and Zürich. Kevin also recently completed a 60-city tour of Ger-many, Austria and Switzerland with “Night of the Musicals”, Eu-rope’s longest-running touring musical show, as well as a recital tour of the B.C. interior with in-ternationally renowned organist Robert Kwan.

Please visit Kevin Armstrong’s website at www.reverbnation.com/opera4heathens, and at twitter@opera4heathens. You are also invited to join Kevin on Facebook at the Group “Kevin Armstrong’s “Opera for Hea-thens””. Video clips are available at www.youtube.com/kevztunz-video.

“Opera for Heathens” is being presented with the support of the Columbia Basin Trust and the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Al-liance, and will be great opportu-nity to a see a world-class talent on the local stage.

B.C.’s new Auditor General for Local Gov-ernment was intro-duced Thursday morn-ing, promising to share successes being had by municipalities across the province.

Basia Ruta was in-troduced by Minister for Community, Sport and Cultural Develop-ment Bill Bennett at a press conference in Surrey, which the Townsman attended via conference call.

“This is an exciting announcement for the provincial govern-ment,” said Bennett, MLA for Kootenay East. “It is a significant step towards local govern-ment and accountabili-ty.”

The new Auditor General for Local Gov-ernment office will work much like the province’s regular Au-ditor General – inde-

pendently of elected politicians. Bennett touched on that in his speech, saying he was excited to participate in the set up of the office before they take over their work.

“I actually helped to take the plastic off the chairs, so I feel like I’m part of the enterprise,” he said. “This is proba-bly the last time I’ll ever set foot in this office. The idea is for the Audi-tor General for Local Government to work apart from govern-ment.”

Acting Cranbrook

Mayor Sharon Cross said the city welcomes the outside eyes to look at what they’re doing correctly, and how they can improve services to taxpayers.

“The Mayor (Wayne Stetski) has welcomed it since the province first introduced the idea,” Cross said. “It’s always good to have an outside body to look at the work we’re doing, and also being ac-knowledged for a job well done.”

During the press conference, Ruta stressed that her office will look for successes other municipalities are having and will share that information so that other cities in the province can learn. Cross said council is looking forward to hav-ing that opportunity.

“When you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, and can learn from others’ successes, that’s always a bonus,”

she said.Ruta said a number

of communities have already approached her with projects they would like her office to review. She welcomed the enthusiasm.

“It might be that they have come up with practises that are cost effective, and they want that confirmed or want to share what they’ve learned, or learn where they can improve,” she said.

Any problems with municipal audits or success will be reported out of Ruta’s office. She said the difficult task will be choosing the subjects that will be the best use of their time.

“This office will not be a cure-all for all is-sues, but we will work hard,” Ruta said.

Bennett said the new Auditor General for Local Government would be a first in Can-ada, to his knowledge.

“FIShINg aNd SKIINg BY SaM WoRMINgtoN”

Just because I happened to ask for three feet of snow was no rea-son to get this cold weather thrown in to boot.

Despite the snow and cold weather last Saturday and Sun-day, many were up at the Ski Lodge. For any of you folks that happen to have youngsters going up the ski hill; there are very good facilities for them at the ski lodge.

There are many who think that the skiers going out skiing now are off the beaten track. But when I heard of them going out fishing for whitefish and ling now that’s when I draw the line.

Between the brother and my-self we helped outfit the Bantam hockey team. There is a game between the Creston and Kim-berley Bantams on Saturday. Now as we all realize these youngsters have to have good support to keep interest up; how about drop-ping around Saturday night and see these youngsters in action.

“MaRYSvILLe SchooL cLoSed BY FReeze-uP”

Children arriving at Marysville School Wednesday morning were soon on their way home again.

The school heating system broke down, and with the temperature at 32 below zero, school was out of the question. Repairs are now underway, but were not finished in time to permit opening this a.m.

“B.c. teLePhoNe co. NeW ceNtRaL oFFIce BuILdINg”

The proposed new automatic central office building for Kim-berley. Tenders for the modern building, to be at the corner of Warren Ave. and Lindsay St., should be called by spring. De-signers are Semmens & Simpson, architects who won the Massey Gold Medal for the best building design in Canada, 1952. To mea-sure approximately 36 by 65 feet, the new telephone building will be of reinforced concrete and brick construction. Front portion of the structure will accommo-date stores of telephone plant supplies. Complex automatic ap-paratus required for conversion of Kimberley’s telephone system to dial operation will be installed in the rear.

The B.C. Telephone Co. have now taken over the assets of the Kootenay Telephone Co. Under the old agreement with the Koo-tenay Telephone Co. the City had the right of the joint use of poles. A new agreement is now being drawn up with the B.C. Telephone Co. to the same effect.

The Way it WasKimberley History

From Page 3“B.C. will be the

leader in this,” he said. “I can tell you I’m not aware of any other Au-ditor General for Local Government in Cana-da.”

Councillor Gerry Warner said it is the right time in the history of municipal politics to

have an Auditor General for Local Government established. He points to issues around the country as examples of where the watchdog would have been help-ful.

“Even though I heard a lot of criticism of set-ting up a municipal au-ditor general at the UBCM convention last October, I’m in favour of the office being estab-lished,” Warner said. “You just have to look at some of the municipal spending controversies here in B.C., such as the recent one in Rossland and the outright scan-dals that have occurred in Montreal, to realize that fiscal oversight is al-ways needed and the more the better. I think a municipal auditor gen-eral will help to inject more honesty and in-tegrity into the system.”

The new Sur-rey-based office opened

Thursday for the first time, although Ruta was officially appointed in November. Bennett said she has been on the job for a total of three days now, and highlighted her career experience. Ruta is a Chartered ac-countant and has worked in the federal office of the Auditor General, Canada Cus-toms and Revenue Agency and as Environ-ment Canada’s chief fi-nancial officer.

“Throughout her ca-reer she’s been a proven innovator, and here in B.C., innovation is what we’re looking for,” Ben-nett said.

Ruta said her work is already underway, and she has booked meet-ings with municipalities across the province to get to know the people she will be working with closely over her five-year term. She will begin with a meeting next

week with Union of B.C. Municipalities execu-tives and hopes to have audits underway shortly after.

“My intention is to be under way with our first performance audit by April 1,” Ruta said.

Bennett said Ruta will not have any au-thority to force munici-palities to act, however her performance audits will be released to the public.

The idea to appoint an Auditor General for Local Government came from the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, Bennett continued. He said he liked the idea as soon as it was suggest-ed. It was then put for-ward as a promise under Premier Christy Clark’s Families First agenda.

The public can keep up with Ruta’s activities by visiting www.aglg.ca. The website was launched on January 16.

New AG for local government

From Front PageTeacher Marlene Driscoll

says that because her students were born after the Sullivan Mine closed, they didn’t have a lot of awareness of what was mined right here in Kimberley. She wanted to change that and to teach the students more about the world around them.

She has been in touch with some local rockhounds, like Bul-letin Scoops columnist Brian Crowe, who has an extensive col-lection of rocks from the Sullivan and beyond.

Students have been learning

about rocks and creating their own spirit stones.

Next Tuesday, January 29, 2013 the students will host the Lindsay Park Rock Festival at the school.

“Our projects will be open for viewing by the community on Tuesday, January 29th from 1-7 pm in our school gym at 602 Salmo Street,” Driscoll said.

We would like to invite any-one who has a rock collection to share it with us on that day. If you or someone you know has a rock with a story or a whole collection you would be willing to share at

our festival, please call the school at 250-427-2255 and leave your name and number.”

The projects from Lindsay Park and other BC schools will be put online at the end of February and you can vote at http://www.bcgreengames.ca/ Winners will be announced in April.

Lindsay Park won $1000 in each of the 2011 and 2012 Green Games, and a digital camera in 2011 as well.

Another Green project for LPE

ANNALEE GR ANTTownsman Staff

The City of Cran-brook’s entrance at Eliz-abeth Lake is poised to undergo significant im-provements in the com-ing months, thanks to a grant of $50,000 from Columbia Basin Trust.

In December, Mayor Wayne Stetski told the Townsman the area was in need of a change, and he was hearing from travellers that signage needed to be looked at.

The CBT grant will go toward Phase 1 of the project, which includes site preparation and road/parking lot work, a new Cranbrook sign,

construction of an infor-mation panel kiosk and a vehicle charging sta-tion. Work is expected to continue on Phase 1 with completion in late spring 2013.

“This is very exciting news,” Stetski said in a recent release. “The grant will help create a very welcoming and in-formative western en-trance to our city and is important for tourism, business and the Eliza-beth Lake environment. It is great to see Colum-bia Basin Trust support-ing our vision for a bet-ter Cranbrook.”

The city struck a committee, called the Highway 3 Improve-

ment Committee, which will look at ways to im-prove the highway’s passage through the city. A proper welcome sign was identified as a priority early on. Stetski promised in December that one would be com-ing soon.

“There’s going to be a spectacular welcome to Cranbrook sign there come spring,” he said.

“The updated en-trance will greet visitors to Cranbrook and en-courage them to stop, learn about and experi-ence the city and the Elizabeth Lake wet-lands,” said Jennifer Krotz, CBT Community Liaison. “This is a great

example of the city working alongside com-munity organizations in a collaborative way.”

The Highway 3 Im-provement Committee will continue their work in 2013, looking at the entire strip from Eliza-beth Lake to the over-pass at the north end of town. The intent is to make the area more welcoming to visitors, whether they plan to stop in the city for a few hours, stay for a few days, or for those just passing through. The committee will look at art, landscaping, zoning and signage.

Cranbrook to extend a warmer welcome

tuesday, January 22, 2013 Page 5

OpiniOn/EvEnts

The news was trumpeted with alarm here on Vancouver Island, which along with the Gulf Islands is the

heartland of tinfoil-hat opposition to smart meters.

Of the 140,000 power customers who didn’t have a wireless meter by the end of the year, many have simply refused. Now BC Hydro has sent let-ters informing them “we can no longer delay the in-stallation of a new meter at your home.”

“StopSmartMetersBC” sent out a panicky e-mail advising its resistance movement to brace against “storm trooper tactics” from BC Hydro staff, and urging phone and fax attacks on their local MLA office.

“Anger and outrage should be ex-pressed, in a quiet way, so that we don’t sound hysterical, but people are being threatened, police called, etc.,” the anon-ymous e-mail helpfully suggests.

BC Hydro has also confirmed what I told you a few months ago. Those bogus locks, chicken wire cages and import-ant-looking signs, which were sold like modern-day snake oil, have no legal ef-fect to prevent the utility from working on its own equipment. These obstacles to inspection have been and continue to be removed, along with dangerous grow-op bypasses and fiddled mechanical me-ters.

The technical arguments against wireless meters have been demolished.

False news reports and website claims still circulate, but no fires have been at-tributed to the installation of 1.7 million wireless meters in B.C. About 1,200 faulty meter bases have also been re-placed at BC Hydro’s expense, and as crude power-theft bypasses have been removed, the incidence of electrical

fires, already rare, has dropped substantially.

Another popular myth is increased electricity bills. Yes, if your bypass is removed, your bill will go up. Like gas pumps, power meters are required by fed-eral law to be accurate.

Which brings us back to Team Tinfoil, which has been sold a cas-cading series of fantastic tales about the effect of wireless signals that are already ever-present in all modern communities.

A Toronto-based expert group called Bad Science Watch has tackled claims of “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” head-on. I highly recommend their 10-page report and qualifications at  www.bad-sciencewatch.ca.

In plain language, with references to the best available scientific studies, it describes the double-blind tests that prove people who claim this sensitivity are not actually able to detect when they are or are not being exposed to wireless signals. No X-Men candidates have come forward.

It also exposes key “activists” in Cana-da. The most prominent is Dr. Magda

Havas, an associate professor at Trent University who has “developed a career denouncing the safety of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation.” She gives speeches, promotes her book and has worked with one David Stetzer to pro-mote an “EMF filter” to sell to those who insist they feel what science shows they don’t.

Havas has appeared on TV “news” shows with “activist-entrepreneur” Kevin Byrne. His website appears to be a hub of cell tower and smart meter scare reports, but it’s interspersed with prod-uct pitches for EMF Solutions Canada, of which Byrne is coincidentally president.

Then there’s “entrepreneur-activist” Rob Metzinger, president of something called Safe Living Technologies Inc. He doesn’t run a lurid scare website, but he’s appeared on CBC and CTV as some sort of authority. (The main hazard ema-nating from TVs these days is bad infor-mation.)

As the election approaches, a fight is gearing up between the NDP and the B.C. Green Party for the ignorant, super-stitious and angry vote. The Greens in particular have damaged their credibility in a desperate bid to quiet their own tin-foil-chapeau wing.

There are bozo eruptions ahead. I’ll have more on that in a future column.

Smart meter deniers’ last stand

Letters to the editorPrice gouging?

I write this with the goal of having the oil companies review their pricing poli-cies for Cranbrook.

In January on a trip to Calgary we had cause to purchase gasoline at their local gas stations, and the cost was 94.9 cents per litre. On arrival back in Cranbrook that evening we had to fuel up and the cost here was 120.9 cents per litre — a mere 26 cents a litre more, which seems to be a little excessive considering the following.

Taxes in Alberta are 20.00 cents a litre. In B.C. taxes 31.56 cents a litre. A typical fuel tanker can transport 57,000 litres of gas.

Taking the difference in the provincial taxes, it still leaves an additional 14.4 cents a litre more than in Calgary. This computes to an additional $8,230.80 per truck load. Surely it doesn’t cost this to transport the fuel from Calgary to Cran-brook. One must assume that the same profit margin would be reasonable for the oil companies, be it in Calgary or Cranbrook. This leads to the burning question: why aren’t some of our com-munity leaders not taking these compa-

nies to task for what seems to be price gouging? One can only assume how many truck loads of fuel come into town every day with additional cost to the citi-zens.

act of KindnessI would like to share with the resi-

dents of our great city the acts of human kindness that go unnoticed but certainly need to be pointed out.

On a very cold Saturday morning a young couple with a one-year-old child were traveling to Vancouver from Fernie when they stopped at the Tim Hortons for a coffee and warm up. As I spoke with this couple they informed me of prob-lems they were having with their car. Mr. Fred Bardell happened to overhear this conversation and offered his shop to this young couple to repair the car and com-plete the trip. Fred, you have shown the spirit and consideration of the residents of our city and for this I thank you. I am sure that the young couple, through your

act of kindness, will have nothing but great news to spread about help re-ceived.

can say & cannot say about God” (Towns-man Jan.11, 2013) Reverend Yme Woens-dregt contends that, even if we knew about God and God’s nature and pur-poses, if any, we are utterly incapable of expressing our thoughts; human lan-guage and understanding are too limit-ed. He then goes on to say “we can’t simply remain silent.”

Although we are bound to speculate and although the lack of knowledge on this subject would free us to say whatev-er we wish without fear of being proven wrong, perhaps the wiser course would be to say nothing.

PAGE 6 TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 2013

Suffice to say the reviews of Lance Arm-strong’s performance on Oprah were not good. Commentators debated

whether it was more accurate to describe him as a sociopath or a psychopath. Arro-gant, smug, evasive, he was all these things, it was said, and less.

All this, after an interview in which he admitted most of the major charges against him: that he had cheated his way to seven Tour de France victories, lied about it for years, then harassed and bullied those who called him out. I don’t mean to say he laid himself completely bare: on several points he fudged, or refused to answer, as if an in-visible lawyer were whispering in his ear, warning of the lawsuits and investigations to come.

But by the standards we have come to expect in these things it was relatively can-did, blessedly free of self-pity. He’d told a lot of lies. Now he was telling the truth. Yet if he was expecting this confession to stanch the flow of vitriol, it appeared to have the oppo-site effect.

Because if there is one thing we expect of professional cyclists, it is that they will com-pete fairly and stay clear of drugs. And if there is one thing we expect, no demand of our public figures, it is that they will tell the truth.

Oh really. Listening to all this high dud-geon, I was carried back to last September’s Democratic convention, and the rapturous reception given to Bill Clinton, the former president and noted perjurist in the matter of Jones v Clinton.

That may have been the most famous of his lies, but it was hardly the first. Clinton was well known as a liar — an “unusually good” one, according to Bob Kerrey, the former senator — long before he ever reached the White House. As early as 1992, the question posed by his candidacy, as defined by Michael Kinsley, was not is he a liar, ``but is he too much of a liar?” By the end the lies and abuses of power had piled

up so high that Christopher Hitchens was forced to title his scathing account of the Clinton presidency No One Left To Lie To.

To be sure, this was very nearly his undo-ing at the time. But in the years since the

impeachment drama, he has paid no price of conse-quence, beyond the tempo-rary suspension of his mem-bership in the Arkansas Bar Association. His books are best-sellers. His speeches pay six figures. He has be-come a revered figure in

some circles, even as the word “Clintonian” has entered the language to describe an answer so precisely framed as to allow a claim of factual accuracy, while remaining fundamentally misleading.

Talking of Brian Mulroney, he, too, is having a lovely time of it, is he not? Never known for his excessive devotion to the truth — “In office,” wrote Mordecai Richler, “Mulroney lied regularly, even when it wasn’t necessary, just to keep in shape” - the former prime minister only really hit his stride after he left office. I speak, of course, of his clandestine receipt of $300,000 in cash from the international arms dealer, convicted fraud and self-confessed briber of politicians, Karlheinz Schreiber.

Mulroney has never adequately ex-plained any of this business — what he did for the money; why he took it in cash; why he kept it in cash; why he did not declare it on his income taxes until years later; why the whole business was conducted without invoices, receipts, expenses or paper trail of any kind etc. etc. etc. — and each time he has been obliged to try has left more people convinced he was lying.

These eventually came to include the judge appointed to conduct an inquiry into the affair, Jeffrey Oliphant. Not only did he find Mulroney had given misleading testi-mony in deposition for his celebrated libel case against the government of Canada — wherein he claimed he “had never had any dealings” with Schreiber, beyond “a cup of coffee ... once or twice” — but that he had

done the same at multiple points in his ap-pearance before the inquiry.

Again and again, Oliphant’s report dis-misses Mulroney’s testimony as literally un-believable. “I must view with scepticism Mr. Mulroney’s claim... (I) question seriously the credibility of Mr. Mulroney’s testimo-ny... ‚ I found Mr. Mulroney’s evidence on this issue to be troubling at best and, at worst, not worthy of any credence... ” And so on.

This is the former prime minister of Can-ada, testifying in a judicial proceeding, on the issue of his financial relationship with a man who had been in and out of his office as an unregistered lobbyist while he was prime minister and who had been paid $20-million in secret and illegal commis-sions by a European aircraft manufacturer for the sale of planes to Air Canada. And what have been the consequences of his repeated untruthfulness? None that I can see.

As Maclean’s describes it in its current issue (“He’s Back”), Mulroney is on a roll, féted as a statesman, in demand as a speak-er, a member of several prestigious boards of directors and partner in a law firm. They’re even naming halls after him. Throughout, Mulroney is lauded for his charm, his magnetism, even his “aura.” It all sounds eerily like Clinton, to whom he is explicitly compared.

So let us drop the pretense that we’re all so scandalized by Armstrong because he lied. Granted, he lied about cycling, rather than mere financial dealings or affairs of state. But the reason he is in such obloquy, and Clinton and Mulroney are not, is not because his lies were worse, but because he’s not as good at it: because he is not as charming — shall we say manipulative? — as they. Frankly, when it comes to conning the public, he is not in their league.

Anyone can pull a con like Armstrong’s. You just lie and keep on lying until someone catches you. It takes a master to keep the con going even after you’ve been caught.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

It’s not quite Sedin-ery, but it’s close.

Before every WHL game, either home or away, Sam Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau can be seen skating in an oval between the red and blue lines, passing a puck back and forth during the warmup.

Observers can count on watching saucer feeds, no-look passes behind the back and sharp, crisp bullets from opposite ends of the sideboards.

And always tape to tape.

It’s a ritual that start-ed last year in the pre-season when the two players needed some-

thing to do to keep them busy during a pre-game warmup.

“There was a lot of standing around time if you’re not skating around doing some-thing with a partner, so we just decided to start passing with each other,” said Reinhart.

“We were both standing there, had nothing to do, so we just started passing the puck and now we’ve done it for the last two years and I guess we’ll contin-ue on,” added Desche-neau.

They’ve managed to get paired together on the first line this season, which has reaped huge rewards for them indi-vidually and for the

team.“I think they see the

game very similar,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill. “They like to play at a high pace. They read really well off each other in give-and-go sit-uations and I think that’s why they have so much chemistry right now and obviously, we’d like them to keep it.”

“Part of their chemis-try is their work ethic. They work extremely hard together and they like to play fast.”

That chemistry has turned up some impres-sive numbers for both lately, as the two are rid-ing a ten-game point streak—Reinhart with 17, while Descheneau

has 15.Reinhart, 17, burst

onto the WHL scene for his first full season last year, setting a Kootenay Ice franchise record for points in a rookie cam-paign, with 62.

Descheneau, also 17, tallied 14 points over 54 games last year, but has been much more prolif-ic this season, exceed-

ing his rookie point total over the last ten games.

Look at the score-sheets over the last dozen games, and you’ll find Descheneau’s name among the assists when Reinhart scores, and vice versa.

“We definitely find each other nicely on the ice,” said Reinhart. “We definitely know where each other is going, so it’s nice and when the team is playing this good all around, it makes it easier on indi-viduals as well.”

“It’s easy to play with him,” said Descheneau, in regard to Reinhart. “He knows how to get to open spaces and all that stuff, he goes to the net, he’s good in the corners,

he’s good at passing the puck and everything.”

Descheneau started the season on the sec-ond line playing along-side Luke Philp, while Reinhart, Brock Mont-gomery and Erik Benoit led the attack as the first line.

However, McGill de-cided to change things up.

“Jaedon’s a smart player and I thought the way Jaedon meshed a little with Luke Philp—I thought he could do the same thing with Sam,” McGill said.

“I thought also that Monty [Montgomery] would be a good fit for Philp, so it was a good switch for both of them and it’s been very good

for both players.”The individual suc-

cess is also translating into team success, as the Ice have won nine games over their ten-game point streak, and are now within reach of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Though the two have been on an offensive tear in the stats depart-ment, Reinhart is quick to spread the credit around the rest of the team for their recent success.

“Everyone’s playing to the best of their abili-ty right now and it’s real-ly showing on the score-board, so it’s really a team effort that’s en-abled us to do so well,” Reinhart said.

Kings on the brink of moving to Seattle,

pending NBA approvalANTONIO GONZ ALEZ

Associated Press

The only thing stop-ping the Sacramento Kings from a sale and move to Seattle is ap-proval by NBA owners.

The Maloof family has agreed to sell the Kings to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen, the league confirmed in a state-ment Monday morn-ing. The deal is still pending a vote by the NBA Board of Gover-nors.

A person familiar with the decision said that Hansen’s group will buy 65 per cent of the franchise for US$525 million, move the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name. The Maloofs will have no stake in the team.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of ano-nymity because the deal was waiting ap-proval.

The sale figure is a total valuation of the franchise, which in-cludes relocation fees. Hansen’s group also is hoping to buy out other minority investors.

The Maloofs will get a $30 million non-re-

fundable down pay-ment by Feb. 1, accord-ing to the deal, one per-son said. They will still be allowed to receive other offers until the league approves the sale.

The plan by Han-sen’s group is to have the team play at least the next two seasons in KeyArena before mov-ing into a new facility in downtown Seattle. The deadline for teams to apply for a move for next season is March 1.

“We have always ap-preciated and trea-sured our ownership of the Kings and have had a great admiration for the fans and our team members. We would also like to thank Chris Hansen for his profes-sionalism during our negotiation. Chris will be a great steward for the franchise,” Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof said in a statement on behalf of the family.

Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said last week he had received permission from NBA Commissioner David Stern to present a counteroffer to league owners from buyers who would keep the Kings in Sacramento.

Tonight: Ex-pect to be in the lead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Keep reaching out to someone

Tonight: Let the good times roll.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Play it easy when dealing with an unpredictable, easily pro-voked personality. You might want to ask yourself why you

are trying to work through an issue with this person. Ask for feedback, and you actually might get excellent results. To-night: Put your feet up.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)Your creativity flows in an un-precedented manner. You might wonder what to do with a loved one who could be well-mean-ing but interrupts a lot. Choose to close your door to complete what you must or give up. To-night: Be that wild thing that we know lies within.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Stay within your usual parame-ters; otherwise, you would feel uncomfortable if you were to break past these boundaries. Let a problem sit. The situa-tion will work itself out soon enough. Avoid taking any finan-cial risks. You will be happier as a result. Tonight: Order in.

Dear Annie: My 20-something children at-tend school in other cities. On occasion, they have asked to bring their current boyfriend or girlfriend home for a visit to meet the family. The friend then stays in a separate room for a night or two.

The problem is my husband. He gets ex-tremely upset about these visits and accuses me of encouraging immoral behavior. He says that allowing these friends to stay at our house gives tacit approval for them to spend the night away from home. I say it is normal hospitality to open our home to our kids’ friends. Is he being irrational, or am I missing something? -- Conflicted Mother

Dear Conflicted: There is absolutely nothing wrong with a child spending the night away from home, and certainly not a 20-something adult. Your husband appar-ently is convinced that the kids are sneaking around and getting into bed together when you are asleep. But that is ungenerous of him. These friends are guests in your home and should be treated as such. And your hus-band might keep in mind that should these friends turn out to be his future sons-in-law or daughters-in-law, reacting poorly to them now could set him up for future difficulties.

Dear Annie: May I vent a little about the extended family of a caregiver? My relatives live out of state and rarely visit. This is for them:

Please don’t tell the primary caregiver what to do and how to do it. You don’t have all the details, and you do not control every situation. Good caregivers are proactive and vigilant. You are loved, and your opinion matters. But unless you are a medical expert in these areas, please listen rather than resort to preconceived ideas.

When you do visit, don’t say, “I guess you get the day off.” There is never a day off, es-pecially if the loved one is in the hospital or rehab and preparations need to be made for what happens after they are discharged. And while you may think it’s “too early” to discuss assisted living or nursing home care, some of those places have waiting lists. It’s never too early. You may want to have a light, enjoyable visit, but some things still need to be handled, even unpleasant things. Life doesn’t get put on hold simply because you’re in town.

If you want to take over the full-time care, you are more than welcome. Other-wise, please respect the primary caregiver’s role and responsibilities, and keep your in-terference with the medical providers to a minimum. You have no idea what it is like to have a family plus elderly parents to care for, with all the activities, medical appointments, medications and therapies to coordinate and facilitate. You purposely choose to live states away. Please don’t fly in and out telling me what to do.

Serving as a primary caregiver is an honor and a privilege. It carries with it a tremendous responsibility, as well as accountability and self-sacrifice. I do it out of love, and I want what is best for them. -- Walk a Mile in My Shoes

Dear Walk: We have heard this plea many times and know you speak for thousands of devoted caregivers. But we also know that many relatives who live away need to feel as if they are contributing and often react by making demands and trying to take over. Sometimes, all they need is a task to perform that will make them feel they are needed in a concrete way. We hope that helps.

Dear Annie: Like “Heartbroken Mom in Connecticut,” I, too, left a controlling hus-band, and it created conflicts at family gath-erings. Our solution was to have two birthday parties. My ex could attend one with whom-ever he wished, and I attended the other. The grandchildren loved the idea of having two birthday parties. Over time, some of the conflicts lessened, but they never completely stopped. Sometimes they just can’t let go. -- Don’t Stress, Celebrate Twice Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sug-ar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

With so many advertising mediumsdividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching

consumers. Why?Simply put, newspapers reach morepeople, more often. Highly portableand highly visible, newspaper ads go

with people and stay with them.That means your business is more likely

to be on their minds when they’re inthe market for related products or

services. When it comes to spendingyour advertising dollars, make the

choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

communitysnapshot The Tragically hip

AnnAlee GrAnt photos

It was yet another feather in the cap for Cranbrook on Saturday night, as

the Key City hosted the Tragically Hip.

The band was kicking off its Now For Plan A tour.

The concert was the next major event for Western Financial

Place after Bob Dylan in August, and hopefully is a sign of more great

music to come.
