A subdued atmosphere was apparent on the pick-et line Thursday as mem-bers of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 213 considered Wednesday night’s vote on recommen-dations proposed by medi-ator Vince Ready to settle the three-month long lock-out by Fortis BC.

While no details of the recommendations could be released until the remainder of the union members in the Okanagan had the opportun-ity to vote Thursday night, local opinion appeared to be mixed, at best, about the proposed settlement.

“In my opinion there was nothing in that contract for us, it was all for the company,” said local IBEW member, Sean O’Farrell. “We’ve spent the last three months locked out for the same thing we went on strike for 10 years ago.”

The company and union returned to the bargaining table last week at the union’s request in an effort to resolve the dispute that has put almost 230 union-ized employees out of work for the summer.

“The union asked to go back to the table,” said Rod Russell, business manager for IBEW Local 213. “The company would only agree to go back if they could bring new items to the table. Vince Ready’s recommenda-tion... well, you could say Mr. Ready didn’t have a lot to work with.”

As of press time no results were available on the vote by the Okanagan-based members of the IBEW and local members of the

bargaining committee were reluctant to express too strong of an opinion before the entire membership had the opportunity to register their thoughts on the pro-posal.

“It’s up in the air but the bargaining committee is staying neutral,” said local committee member, Albert Bortolussi.

“It’s hard to get a read on the guys, they’ve been out for over three months. Our advice to them was that ‘you have the information, read it and talk to your fam-ilies and then vote.’ Ready made his recommendation, we brought it back to the members, now it’s in their hands.”

From the Fortis BC side of the table, hopes are high that the recommendations are accepted by the mem-bership.

“The company accepted Mr. Ready’s recommenda-tions and now the unionized employees are voting on it,” said Joyce Wagenaar, direc-tor of communications for Fortis BC.

“Hopefully it will be posi-tive news and we could see employees back to work by early next week.”

The IBEW’s business manager wasn’t prepared to predict how the member-ship’s vote would turn out.

“The company was bring-ing big ticket items to the table. A lot of people are pissed off but they’ve been off for three and a half months now,” said Russell.

“We had committed to bring any recommendations back to the membership. If it goes through some people will be disappointed, if it doesn’t go through some people will be disappointed.”

Trail Market on the Esplanade will be packing up the tents and moving to the warm indoors of the Cominco Gym, but not before one last date in Jubilee Park Oct. 11, and a Spooktacular send off at the end of the month.

“If you didn’t get the chance to visit the market this summer, don’t worry,” said Andrea Jolly, Trail’s

communication and events coordinator.

An outdoor market on the Esplanade will return Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. when the city and chamber of commerce host an open invitation Halloween party, called Spooktacular Crypt Kickin’, in downtown Trail that day.

The indoor market will go two Fridays in November (Nov. 8 and Nov.

29) and once during the Christmas season, Dec. 13, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., confirmed Jolly.

Coun. Eleanor G a t t a f o n i - R o b i n s o n requested fellow council members to waive gym fees for the three indoor dates at the Sept. 23 gov-ernance meeting.

“Like last year, everyone is still in,” she said.

Kootenay artist Jessica Gowling cre-ates fine art prints by understanding what lies within and then working her way out.

Gowling’s exhib-it, “Within the Wilderness,” opened Thursday at the VISAC Gallery on Helena Street in downtown Trail and will run until Oct. 25.

“Illustrating wild-life and nature is my passion,” said Gowling.“This par-ticular series of animal prints was inspired by a teacher who suggested that you cannot know what is on the out-side unless you know what is on the inside,” explained Gowling. “The natural world is an easy place to go and to understand what I am drawing I study the animal’s skeletal struc-ture first to create tex-ture and line.”

Gowling discussed a piece from the show-case that depicts a portrait of wolves. “It took me a long time to complete this piece because I thought the legs looked flat and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong,” she

said. “It took me look-ing into their muscu-lature and bone struc-ture to realize the that

there is not a lot of flesh between the bone and skin.

“ U n d e r s t a n d i n g that is how I could draw the portrait with depth and shape.”

The exhibit fea-tures traditional hand-pulled prints that Gowling creates with-out the use of a digital media or computer support.

“Traditional print making is really how we used to dissemin-ate information,” said Gowling. “And it is quite technical and laborious, “she said, adding “basically it is technique used to transfer information from one surface to another.

“Kind of like a rub-ber stamp.”

Gowling uses lino and wood to carve an image to create a plate stamp or stencil. Next, she applies cus-tom mixed inks with a heavy rag paper to the design before transfer-ring it to paper.

“Creating these fine art prints doesn’t require a computer,” said Gowling. “Just my two little paws and plenty of patience.”

Gowling is a recent transplant to the West Kootenay, having grown up in Calgary and worked in Invermere for the last few years.

“I moved to the mountains of British Columbia to pursue my dream of becom-ing a practising visual artist,” she said. “The inspiration behind my creative endeavours is literally at my finger-tips every day.”

The first of two 16 feet wide, 117 tonne transformers travels through downtown Trail on a 201 foot-long truck on its way to the Waneta Expansion Project construction site on Sept. 26. This milestone signals the kick-off of the second half of the project, with focus shift-ing from civil to mechanical and electrical work. The transformers are critical pieces of equipment which increase the voltage from the generators before connecting them to the grid.

B y M a r v i n B e a t t yCastlegar News

Castlegar has a spot on a list of the top 100 neighbourhoods set to lead growth in Canada, according to a September 26 RE/MAX Network and Verico Financial Group report.

The list, which was compiled by the Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine, is based on statistics including population, average home price, capital growth and vacancy rate.

Just eight communities on the list were found in B.C. and many of the most promising neighbourhoods were found in small towns.

The news that Castlegar made the list came as no surprise to local REMAX realtor Barry Brown.

“Castlegar has always been pos-itioned to grow because it is the centre of the West Kootenays,” he said. “[It’s] on Highway 3, a divers-ity of surrounding industries, the West Kootenay Regional Airport and Selkirk College.”

Brown said a buyers market exists currently — most buyers are not that rushed because of the depth of inventory available. The area itself also has a good mix of urban and city properties and the huge variety of recreational actives available in all four seasons is another big draw.

“The average sale price is $254,000 for the past 12 months,” said Brown. “Single family listing prices in Castlegar and area see a range from $99,900 up to $849,000.”

Brown said houses that are priced right still sell quickly.”So if a buyer finds a home that they like, they should proceed with an offer,” he said.

The other seven B.C. neighbour-hoods poised to lead growth in Canada are (not ranked):

- Fort St. John (entire commun-ity)- neighbourhoods of Colwood and Langford in Greater Victoria- Kitimat (entire community)- Lynn Valley in North Vancouver- Whalley in Surrey- Terrace (entire community)- Grandview-Woodland in Vancouver

Elton Ash, RE/MAX of Western Canada regional executive vice-president said in a release that no longer are big cities dominating the real-estate investment landscape.”As this report clearly shows, investment opportunities abound across Canada, both in bigger cities and smaller towns,” said Ash.

Last year’s indoor market hosted up to 40 vendors selling unique gifts, funky clothes, handmade soaps, fresh vege-tables and fruit and whimsi-cal baking to large crowds of people ranging from toddlers to retirees.

“There will be a little some-

thing for everyone,” said Gattafoni-Robinson. “The more the merrier and good for the vendors to showcase and sell their products.”

Over the summer, 119 vendors set up shop along the Esplanade, with an average 600 people walking through downtown.

“I’ve had conversations with people from Calgary, even different parts of the world,

who were just passing through town,” explained the council-lor. “They happened to see the tents set up, came over to have a look and thought the market was wonderful.”

The 2013 market has been another huge success and grown into even more this year, said Norm Casler, Trail Chamber of Commerce execu-tive director.

“The Trail Market has been

good for tourism in that many people from out of town did find out about the market,” he said.

“And they were very pleas-antly surprised by the number and variety of vendors and the beautiful location.”

Many locals who were entertaining out-of-town com-pany found the market one of the best things to do in Trail this summer, he added.

B y S t e v e K i d dPenticton Western News

It’s no secret that the wine industry is big business in the Okanagan, but a recent report demon-strates just how big an economic driver the industry has become.

“We’ve known for a while now that wine touring is the largest specific motivator for travel to Penticton & Wine Country, aside from visiting friends

and family,” said Tourism Penticton CEO Jessie Campbell. “And those travellers are coming no matter what marketing mes-sage we put out there.”

More than 800,000 visitors come to the region as wine tourists each year, accounting for 1,100 full time jobs, $4 million in taxes to government — all coming together for $87 million in direct economic impact and

another $52 million in indirect economic impact.

The Okanagan Wine Tourism Industry Economic Impact Report was commis-sioned by the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society and the B.C. Wine Institute.

Drawing from over 1,000 interviews at wineries and wine fes-tivals, the report builds a picture of the average wine tourist spending about $474 per person, per day, less than half of which is wine-relat-ed. Transportation, accommodation and other expenses account for $302 of the daily spending, with a fur-ther $97 spent on wine and another $75 spent at winery restaurants.

“These are cer-tainly very impressive numbers considering that across British Columbia we have 217 wineries with the vast majority being small family-run operations

that grow over 80 dif-ferent varieties of grapes on some 9,800 acres,” said Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas.

“This study really validates the import-ance of wine tourism to our local economy … directly yielding increases in the sale of wine, food and accom-modation,” said Dr. Blair Baldwin, pro-fessor at Okanagan College and one of the authors of the report, along with Stephen Mellows.

The primary des-tinations are the core cities, allowing tour-ists to travel out into the surrounding win-ery regions: Kelowna, West Kelowna and Penticton. Campbell said Tourism Penticton makes a specific effort to capitalize on the wine tourism poten-tial.

“We are the only destination — certain-ly within BC — that

is using ‘and Wine Country’ within our brand, and we use this consistently to drive awareness not only for Penticton, but the Naramata Bench, Summerland and Okanagan Falls,” she said.

The impact of the wine industry on the economy is not something that hap-pened overnight. The upcoming 33rd annual Fall Wine Festival demonstrates that vintners have been pioneering this grow-ing industry in British Columbia now for over three decades.

The report comes at the end of what some grape growers say is one of the best growing seasons in recent years, with Jackson-Triggs Estate Winery claim-ing a record-breaking start to the 2013 har-vest for their Osoyoos area vineyards, where they began picking on Aug. 27.

t H e C A N A d i A N P R e S SDELTA, B.C. - A 90-year-old blind sen-

ior says she’ll never return to one Metro Vancouver hospital after she was discharged from the emergency room after midnight wearing only her pyjamas and with only a single sheet to keep her warm.

Vivian Fitzpatrick has told Global BC the incident took place recently at Delta Hospital, east of Vancouver.

She says a nurse told her a doctor had found nothing wrong with her so she was going to be discharged, and she was required to take a cab home.

Fitzpatrick says she was also bleeding from the spot where an intravenous line had been removed, forcing her caregiver to change and wash her bed sheets.

The Fraser Health authority says the inci-dent was very unfortunate and it has apolo-gized to the family for any inconvenience and distress.

Fitzpatrick’s daughter Paddy Munro says an apology isn’t good enough, and she has filed a grievance over the incident.

“My mom and I want to make it very clear we are not blaming the nurses and doctors because we’ve seen how busy they are,” says Munro.

“But there’s no reason they could possibly give me that would rationalize why they treated my mother this way.”

t H e C A N A d i A N P R e S SKELOWNA, B.C. - Tens of

thousands of starlings will be killed annually across the Okanagan for at least another three years, an effort to crack down the “blight” that threat-ens the region’s orchards.

Local governments throughout the valley this fall are renewing their financial support for a control pro-

gram that began a decade ago. The latest to sign up was the District of Lake Country, where council approved a budget request of $1,600.

“The birds are a blight on agriculture, and given that Lake Country is over 40 per cent farming, this just seems like a no-brainer way to sup-port our orchardists,” Coun. Lisa Cameron said.

A total of $115,000 is spent each year to trap and gas star-lings across the Okanagan, with an estimated 60,000 of the birds killed each year. Most of the money comes from taxpayers through regional districts, but fund-ing is also provided by the BC Fruit Growers’ Association, the Okanagan Kootenay Cherry Growers’ Association,

and the BC Grapegrowers Association.

Even with the large-scale control program, starlings are still estimated to cause $4 million in damages annu-ally to Okanagan vineyards and orchards. Most trapping operations are conducted near feedlots and other cattle operations, where large flocks of starlings gather.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SEDMONTON - Federal NDP Leader

Thomas Mulcair says a judge’s finding that Alberta’s Environment Department has been covertly working to silence oil-sands critics reinforces widespread cyni-cism that the province’s approval process for projects is rigged.

“It’s a very damning analysis of what’s been going on here,” Mulcair told repor-ters Thursday after meetings at the University of Alberta.

“To have a judge come out so clearly and to say that there’s an absolute breach of the fundamental rules of natural justice in the process simply reinforces the per-ception of a lot of Canadians in general - and a lot of Albertans in particular - that the dice have been loaded.”

On Tuesday, Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Richard Marceau said Environment Department bureaucrats contravened their own laws by enact-ing a shadow policy in 2009 to stop the Oil Sands Environmental Coalition from speaking to reviews of proposed oilsands operations.

Marceau, in his ruling, pointed to a 2009 briefing note to the top bureaucrat in the department at the time, Jim Ellis.

The note said that while the coalition had been given standing in previous oil-sands hearings, that should stop.

It said the coalition was no longer assisting the government on environ-mental initiatives and that one member of the coalition in particular, the Pembina Institute think-tank, was publishing “negative media on the oil sands.”

The note urged the coalition should be barred on the grounds it is not directly affected by the oilsands operations.

In his ruling, Marceau noted that nowhere in Alberta’s Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act does it say the government can exclude from reviews “those persons or groups who voice negative statements about proposed oilsands development.”

The government has yet to decide if it will appeal.

NDP leader slams Alberta for trying to silence oilsands critics

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - A defi-

ant, diminutive octo-genarian pleaded not guilty Thursday to criminal charges aris-ing out of her refusal to fill out the 2011 census, and said she would not pay any fine if convicted.

Audrey Tobias, 89, told Ontario court she agreed with the aims of the census, but objected to the involve-ment of American arms behemoth, Lockheed Martin.

“When I learned that the contract for the information tech-nology was being given to a foreign company, I was shocked,” Tobias testified.

“I am ashamed of my prime minister in Canada who ultim-ately made the deci-sion. Because of that, I couldn’t fill it in.”

Tobias, of Toronto, is charged with violat-ing the Statistics Act.

The defence main-tained that forcing her to complete the census would violate her free-doms of conscience and free expression.

Judge Ramez Khawly was clearly skeptical as lawyer Peter Rosenthal made his arguments, and wondered aloud what would happen if the court sent a “signal” that it was OK to opt out of the census.

The Crown said Tobias had no lawful excuse for her refusal.

Tobias said she was unconcerned about the consequences of a conviction, which car-ries a maximum three months in prison.

“I’m not wor-ried; we’ll take it as it comes,” she said dur-ing a break in the pro-ceedings.

“Of course, I would not pay (a) fine - that would be an admission of guilt.”

She said she would not do any community service for the same reason.

The Crown called one witness, Yves Beland, operations director at Statistics Canada, who outlined the importance of the census to, among other things, inter-governmental equal-ization and transfer payments.

“It is the only detailed and coherent source of informa-tion,” Beland said.

In 2011, StatsCan received 13 million completed census forms, a 98 per cent response rate. Overall, it referred 54 people for prosecution for failing to complete

the mandatory census form.

In the witness stand - her flaming ginger hair barely visible over the court repor-ter - Tobias explained she was a mem-ber of the Women’s Royal Canadian Naval Service during the Second World War.

She became a com-mitted peace activist after viewing movie footage of the war and the atomic bombing of Japan, and touring a desolate post-war Europe.

“I recall the great pain of that,” she said, as a court full of sup-porters watched.

Lockheed developed and supplied data-crunching software to Statistics Canada for the 2006 census. It helped rework the program for the 2011 count.

“They provided a technical solution to integrate informa-tion coming from

telephone, paper and Internet,” Beland said.

Lockheed’s role was “descoped” before 2006 amid concerns in Canada the company might have to pass on information to the U.S. government under the Patriot Act.

Highlighting her privacy concerns, Tobias said the U.S, denied her entry for 20 years for her peace activism.

“Oh, well, yes, any-body who’s anybody might be prohibited from entering the United States,” she said.

Beland, who said he has never heard of Edward Snowden - he

recently went public with a massive U.S. surveillance system - was adamant Lockheed had no access to any data on Canadians.

StatsCan sys-tems, he said, were completely secure, a pronouncement the defence refuted.

It is “absolutely not possible” to ensure 100 per cent security of large systems, Arcady Genkin, a University of Toronto system admin-istrator, testified.

Either way, Tobias was unbowed.

The census con-tract, she said, should have stayed in Canada and not involved the military.

OPINION

Taking the high road on pot reformFor all the interest

it seems to have generated in news media, the cam-

paign to ultimately decrim-inalize marijuana use, pos-session and sales in the province is highly unlikely to gain public support, at least in sufficient numbers to force a referendum on the issue.

Among the plans of Sensible BC, the organ-ization proposes provin-cial legislation it calls the Sensible Policing Act. It would involve “stopping arrests for marijuana pos-session, and focusing police resources on fighting real crime,” according to organ-izer Dana Larsen.

The first problem is identifiable right in the name of Larsen’s group. Using “sensible” is akin to using the phrase “common sense”, because it presumes a black and white perspec-tive on an issue that has more greys than anything else.

Personally, I think it’s time to call a halt to the War on Drugs (and any other public policy that includes the word war, for that matter). From pretty much any perspective, it’s impossible to deny that the War on Drugs has been an

abject failure. Marijuana, the softest of all illegal drugs, is easier to get after nearly a century of prohibi-tion than it ever has been. The populace has spoken — people in general don’t buy the bogeyman argu-ments about marijuana. They like the feeling they get when they inhale and they have been more than willing to take legal risks to get that feeling.

The real question is, do we want to legalize it, to toss out all legislation to do with a plant that is appar-ently as easy to grow as dandelions?

I vote no. But not because I am completely enamoured of government sticking its nose into the private lives of citizens. There seems to be suffi-cient evidence that the use of marijuana at a young age can indeed have a deleteri-ous effect on brain develop-ment. Unless and until I am convinced that informa-tion is wrong, I don’t want to tell people who aren’t adults that it’s OK to light up, in public or in their own strobe-lit basements, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida blast-ing out from the stereo and bags of Hawkins Cheezies at the ready. (Oh, wait, did I just have a flashback?)

My solution is a more pragmatic one. Legalize and regulate the weed, just as we have done, with admittedly mixed success, with alcohol. Let’s at least show some effort in keep-ing it out of the hands of youngsters whose brains still have a chance to form fully. But also let’s take this rare opportunity to pad the taxman’s coffers. At the very least it might turn aging baby boomers away from griping about their tax bills and toward tok-ing up to make sure gov-ernment pensions are suf-ficiently funded until they themselves qualify.

I’m not the only one who feels that way, of course. For decades, Liberal Senator Larry Campbell has been saying the same thing. The former mayor of

Vancouver, ex-police officer and coroner says decrimin-alization doesn’t make any sense. Kash Heed, a former solicitor-general and police chief says the same thing.

In talking to the local RCMP detachment com-mander, Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan, he is of the opinion that Sensible BC is any-thing but sensible. Gollan doesn’t get into whether he agrees with legalization, but insists that enacting provincial legislation to prevent police officers from enforcing marijuana laws is a non-starter. Federal legis-lation takes precedence over that of junior gov-ernments when it comes to the Criminal Code of Canada, he argues, and any change in laws addressing crime has to come from the Parliament of Canada, and nowhere else.

Instead, Gollan speaks in favour of being able to ticket minor offenders of the Criminal Code’s ban on marijuana possession. It’s a tool that police use to keep alcohol use and possession in control, and it would be preferable to the situation police now find themselves in, where they are reduced to simply destroying small amounts of marijuana found in the possession of

people they stop. Then they simply walk away, feeling helpless because recom-mending charges is fruit-less — Crown Counsel ada-mantly refuses to prosecute charges on small amounts of marijuana possession because a) the courts are already backed up and b) judges have long since stopped attempting to use fines and jail sentences to stop what is essentially a tidal wave of victimless crime.

If marijuana was legal-ized and regulated it would be less attractive to organ-ized crime. Bootlegging went the way of the dodo bird when alcohol prohibi-tion laws were repealed. Other, more progressive countries have actually moved away from treating the use of any non-pre-scription drugs as a crime, choosing to view addic-tions or perceived need as medical, not legal issues. Fundamentally, a conserv-ative-leaning government, committed to reducing the omnipresence of gov-ernment in private lives, should be leading the way on this issue. Somehow, I can’t see that happening.

When Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, came home from the

United Nations General Assembly meeting last Friday, demonstrators at Tehran air-port threw eggs, shoes and stones. They had heard about his 15-minute phone con-versation with US President Barack Obama, and they were not pleased.

But there were many more Rouhani sup-porters at the airport, who clearly hoped that he will make a deal with the United States on Iran’s nuclear pro-gramme and end the sanctions that are stran-gling the Iranian economy. “I believe we can reach a comprehensive solu-tion,” Rouhani’s office tweeted after the famous phone call to Obama, and most Iranians want to believe him.

Most people elsewhere want to believe him too. We have had ten years of escalat-ing threats by Israel and the US to attack Iran if it doesn’t stop enriching uranium for its civil nuclear power pro-gramme, on the grounds that this is merely a cover for a nuclear weapons programme. And everybody understands that this could end up as a big, ugly war.

That’s why Obama took the political risk of becom-ing the first US president in 34 years to talk to an Iranian leader. When he addressed the General Assembly in New York, he welcomed the “more moderate course” taken by President Rouhani, who took office in August.

“The roadblocks may prove to be too great,” Obama said, “but I firmly believe the dip-lomatic path must be tested.”

Then the chief roadblock arrived: Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. He was flying to New York to “tell the truth in the face of the sweet talk and the blitz of smiles,” he said – and when he mount-ed the podium at the General Assembly, he bluntly accused the new Iranian president of being “a wolf in sheep’s cloth-

ing.”Nobody, not even the Israeli

intelligence services, accuses Iran of working on nuclear weapons right now. The US Central Intelligence Agency flatly says that it is not.

The accusation, by Israel, its Western supporters, and some of Iran’s Arab neighbours, is that Tehran is building a (quite legal) uranium enrich-ment capability in order to be able to make actual nucle-

ar weapons at some future time.

Iran denies any such inten-tion, of course. “We say explicit-ly that we will be transparent; we say explicitly that we will not build a bomb,” said Rouhani in New York. “No nation should

possess nuclear weapons, since there are no right hands for these wrong weapons.”

That last was a subtle slap at the hypocrisy of the United States and Israel, which have thousands and hundreds of nuclear weapons respective-ly, for threatening to attack another country because it is allegedly planning to build them in the future. But Rouhani is not demanding that Israel give up its nuclear weapons and sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. On the contrary, he implicitly accepts the status quo.

So why doesn’t Netanyahu welcome the possibility that Iran now seems willing to negotiate a deal that would leave it free to make its own enriched nuclear fuel for reactors, but stop it from making highly enriched uran-ium suitable for weapons? By all means insist that any US-Iranian deal be enforce-able and free of loopholes, but why say things like “Rouhani thinks he can have his yellow-cake (enriched uranium) and eat it too”?

The ten-year confron-tation over Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons ambitions has served Netanyahu well. It has distracted the world’s attention from the plight of the Palestinians in the occu-pied territories. It has also given him enormous lever-

age in Washington: much US policy in the Middle East is driven by the perceived need to keep Israel from launching a unilateral attack on Iran, which would be a catastrophe for American interests in the region.

But if Netanyahu truly believes that Iranian nuclear weapons would be an existen-tial threat to Israel, why would he oppose negotiations that might put an end to that pos-sibility? Exactly what would be lost by giving peace a chance?

What would be lost, if a lasting deal emerged from the negotiations being mooted between Tehran and Washington, is the ability of successive right-wing Israeli governments to extort uncon-ditional American military support for Israel, no matter what it does, precisely because it allegedly faces an existential threat from Iran.

Since the Russian-sponsored deal over Syria’s chemical weapons has simi-larly sidelined the prospect of an American attack on Syria (which Israel sees as its second most dangerous enemy), the foreign policy that has sus-tained Netanyahu for almost two decades is collapsing.

Without a plausible military threat to Israel – and where else could it come from, if not Iran or Syria? – his ability to bully successive American administrations into ignor-ing Israel’s illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land, its clandestine nuclear and chemical weapons, and much else besides, would slowly drain away.

So Netanyahu will do everything he can to strangle the newborn possibility of an American-Iranian rapproche-ment in its cradle.

As the scenes at Tehran airport demonstrate, Rouhani also faces strong opposition at home from those whose political instincts or inter-ests demand a continuation of the Iran-against-the-world confrontation that has already lasted for a generation. Rouhani’s initiative has cre-ated a great deal of hope, but its enemies are already work-ing to kill it.

SHORTHOUSE (NEE DALLA LANA), ELSIE — It is with great sadness that we an-nounce the passing of Elsie Shorthouse on Sept. 30, 2013 at Columbia View Lodge in Trail B.C.

Elsie was born in Kamloops B.C. May 1, 1923 to Eugenio (Secondo) and Mar-garita Dalla Lana. In 1925, after a long train ride, the family moved to Trail. Their first home was on LeRose St., followed by Eugenio purchasing a boarding house on Glover Rd. Many of the boarding house residents were members of the Maple Leaf Band. In 1931, Elsie’s father helped build the IVO DL building in downtown Trail, which then became their home. Elsie owned and operated D’Lanas Beauty Salon from 1947-1958. On August 29, 1946, Elsie married Fred Shorthouse and they built a house in Glenmerry. Elsie and Fred had two daughters Alix and Patrice.

Elsie will be remembered for many things; one being a talented athlete, as she excelled in golf and curling. Elsie was a member of the Rossland Trail Country Club and the Trail Curling Club, for many years. She enjoyed her time competing in golf tournaments, B.C. Summer Games and curling bon-spiels.

Elsie took pride in showing up her daughters and nephews on the golf course right up until her mid-80s. She also had a bit of a competitive streak and enjoyed ‘skunking’ her grandchil-dren in a game of crib… even after she had to be reminded about some of the rules. Her latest past time was playing solitaire on an iPad with a cool beer in her hand. In addition, Elsie enjoyed spending time at Kootenay Lake with her children and grandchildren. The past couple of years, Elsie lived at Columbia View Lodge enjoying the company and the many outings. The family would like to thank the staff for the wonderful care and companion-ship shown to Elsie.

Elsie was predeceased by her hus-band Fred (2011), sister Lida Buccini (2011), brother-in law Freddie Buc-cini (2008) and nephew Chris Buccini (2013). She will be remembered by her daughters Alix of Edmonton, and Patti (Joe) of Trail B.C., grandchildren Jeffrey, Jason, and Michael of Edmon-ton, Braedon and Marliese of Trail B.C., brother Ivo (Mary) of Edmonton, sister-in-law Grace of Port Moody and many nieces and nephews.

There will be no funeral as Elsie requested. The family will have a me-morial gathering in the spring. Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been en-

trusted with arrangements.As an expression of sympathy, do-

nations may be made to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Health Foundation (Columbia View Lodge Recreation Dept.) at 1200 Hospital Bench, Trail, BC, V1R 4M1 or online at www.kbrhhealthfoundation.ca

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalterna-tives.ca

***WILSON (NEE HORNETT),

ROSEMARY JANE — With our deep-est sorrow and gratitude we thank Rosemary (Romy) Wilson (Hornett) for being in our lives until she said her final goodbye October 1st, 2013. The light Romy brought to our worlds was contagious and apparent in all those that had the fortune to get to know her; whether that was through a chat on the street or years of bonding with her. She truly was a unique and

authentic woman. Her love and zest for life shone through the many chap-ters of her life.

Romy was born in Laverna, Sas-katchewan and lived in New Brig-den, Alberta during her early years, moving with her family to Nelson, BC at a young age. After completing high school she attended St. Eugene School of Nursing in Cranbrook, and post graduate school at St. Michael’s School of Nursing in Toronto. Her love of seeking out new adventures and caring for others took her nurs-ing career to places including Cran-brook, Creston, Vancouver, Portland, Nelson and Trail.

Romy met and married her hus-band, Dr. Frank Lloyd Wilson and together they raised two children, George and Pat, while living on Hazel-wood Drive in Trail, BC. Their second home was in Kaslo where time was spent fishing, enjoying the outdoors and the company of good friends.

Romy provided excellent care for Frank in the later years of his life al-lowing him to remain at home until his death in 1982. A few years later, Rosemary moved to Kaslo full time.

She was also predeceased by, her parents, Rose and George Hornett, her brother Dick (George) Hornett, and her sister Joan McNown. Her uncon-ditional love and sense of humor will be remembered forever by her family; her son George (Sharon) Wilson and their family Sean, Jill and Ryan Black, Andrea, Mark, Adrianna, Eden, and Chet Rangeloff; her daughter Pat Wilson (Yogi Hincks), and her grand-children Dallas Husar (Alex Grand-maison) and Devan Husar, along with her nieces and nephews; Shirley (Bill) Jemson, Lynn (Dez) Daniher, Roberta (Al) Cox, Tom (Heather) McNown, Don (Fern) Hornett, and Ken (Carrie) Hornett; and their families.

A service will be held at 2:00 pm Sunday October 13, 2013 at St Mark’s Anglican Church in Kaslo with a re-ception following at the Kaslo Golf Club.

The family would like to thank the Kaslo Hospital staff, and Jennie Welch and Lisa Ross for providing wonder-ful care. We would also like to espe-cially thank one of Rosemary’s dearest friends in the last years of her life, Mi-chelle Hansen.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kaslo Trailblazers, or the Kaslo Hospital.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SMOSCOW - Former Soviet basketball great

Sergei Belov, who helped his team beat the United States in the epic 1972 Olympic gold medal game in Munich, died Thursday at 69.

His death was announced by CSKA Moscow, the team he played with for 13 seasons. The club said Belov died in the Ural Mountains city of Perm, where he coached a local team.

Belov scored 20 points in the Soviets’ famous 51-50 win over the U.S. in Munich, a game in which the Russians scored the winning points as time ran out. The clock had been reset in the final seconds after the Americans thought they had won.

Belov, a shooting guard, was widely con-sidered one of the best non-American players of his generation. He also won three Olympic bronze medals - in 1968, 1976 and 1980 - and led the Soviets to two world championship titles. Belov lit the Olympic cauldron at the 1980 Games in Moscow and coached the Russian national team from 1993-99 before moving to Perm to coach the Ural-Great basketball team.

“World basketball has lost a true legend today,” Jordi Bertomeu, president and CEO of Euroleague Basketball, said.

A Saudi prince? Hollywood royalty? A South American industrialist? Or how about a famous foot-baller?

North Van realtor Sasan Fazli remains tight-lipped — he’s not at liberty to dis-close the identity of the buyer who just purchased four adja-cent condos at the Fairmont Pacific Rim in Coal Harbour for a combined total of $55 million.

“No, I really [can’t say] — it’s so confi-dential. There’s tons of rumours out there... I just can’t confirm any-thing right now about my buyers,” says Fazli, who is with REMAX Crest Reality.

But he can tell you the deal is the lar-gest residential prop-erty transaction in Canadian history.

“Combined, the $55 million was the big-gest residential sale — condo or home — in Canadian history,” he says.

The real estate mega-deal began when the mystery buyers purchased the two-storey penthouse in the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel’s private residences for $25 mil-lion, which is the lar-gest-ever MLS condo sale in Canada.

“When I first walked in there my jaw dropped. It’s ultra, ultra, luxury,” Fazli says about the pent-house.

“The view is amaz-ing but when you walk in the living area — the ceiling and the win-dows… it’s unbeliev-able.”

But there were more ‘sold’ signs to follow. The buyers then purchased the three sub-penthouses in the luxury hotel. Combined, on floors 46 through 48, they now own more than 15,600 square feet of indoor space with a

total of 38 rooms and another 3,500 square feet of balcony living.

Of course with mul-tiple agents involved, Canada’s largest real estate deal was probably also one of Canada’s most compli-cated.

“[It was] very stress-ful. We’re dealing with four different listing agents, and four dif-ferent sellers, and each deal had their ups and downs. It was dif-ficult but at the end of the day we got the job done,” Fazli said in an interview. “The most important thing for me was to close the

deal for my clients.”And while Fazli

closed the deal, his brother Cameron was integral in the making of the record-breaking real estate transaction.

Cameron, a lux-ury property manger, was introduced to the buyer three years ago through one of his cli-ents.

“Cameron played a huge role in this and to be honest if it wasn’t for him I don’t think we would have the connection,” Sasan says.

And while he declined to say what the commission on a

deal of this magnitude would be, he did say he would be splitting it with his brother.

“To celebrate, a family holiday is in the works.”

The brothers’ grandfather and par-ents immigrated to Canada from Tehran 32 years ago. Both par-ents worked two jobs as the boys grew up. From a young age both Sasan and Cameron worked together at their father’s gas sta-tion.

“Ever since a young age my father’s always worked, so he figured it would probably be best for us to start working at an early age.”

The North Shore-raised brothers con-tinue to work well together as a team, only now in luxury real estate.

So are their unnamed clients fin-ished their Vancouver real-estate shopping

spree?“I’m not going to

say yes or no because I don’t know what they are going to do,” says Sasan. “Obviously they came here for a few days and they made a purchase like this. So I’m going to say any-thing is possible at this point but there haven’t been any other offers made on other proper-ties.”

But Sasan does see Vancouver luxury properties becoming more coveted by the international jet set.

“Luxury properties here are becoming more [sought after] by the ultra rich and we are seeing a lot more investors coming in from other parts of the world as opposed to just Asia. There’s a lot coming from South America, and there’s a lot coming from the Middle East. Obviously this is our main client but we have other cli-

ents who have shown a lot of interest in Vancouver real estate.”

Sasan figures com-pared to global real estate Vancouver remains a relative bar-gain.

“I mean you put this penthouse in London you’re looking at $150 million dollars. You

put this penthouse in Singapore you’re look-ing at close to $80-$100 million dollars so people who buy prop-erties like this, this is not their only property — they own all over the world. So when they come here… to them it’s almost like a deal.”

Mirror neurons are nerve cells in the brain which � re both when the individual acts

and when the individual observes someone else doing the action in question. They were discovered by Italian neurophysiologists in

the 1990s who were studying hand and mouth movements in macaque monkeys. What they

discovered, almost by accident, is that the neurons controlling these movements became active when the monkeys saw people picking

up food and eating. Since then, mirror neurons have been found in many areas of the brain and it has been proposed that large areas of the human brain may act in a similar way,

explaining why we suddenly feel happy when we see someone laughing and smiling, or why we might � inch when we see someone trip and

fall. Perhaps this is the explanation for why emotions tend to engender similar emotions

in others and has been proposed as the neural basis for empathy. Of course it doesn’t take a

brain surgeon or a rocket scientist to know that happy people make others happy, while angry or anxious folks make others angry or anxious. So, we should try to be happy, be lovable, and make the world a better place by smiling at everyone

you meet.– Christopher Simon

TRAIL – The Life Chain which usually takes place along Victoria St. in Trail has been can-celled for this year only, due to the construc-tion in downtown Trail. Instead, the Rossland Trail Right to Life Society is encouraging our members to join with the Castlegar group at the Canadian Tire/Hwy. 3A intersection in Castlegar on Sunday from 2-3 pm.

This annual event takes place in over 1,800 cities and towns in Canada and the US. Trail held its first Life Chain in 1991 with 130 par-ticipants. Locally, Life Chains will be held in Castlegar, Nelson and Creston.

Local pastors and priests along with many in their congregations and others in the commun-ity will hold signs conveying messages of truth and hope; Abortion Kills Children; Abortion Hurts Women; Adoption is the Loving Option; Jesus Heals and Forgive; She’s a Child Not a Choice; Pregnant, Need Help? Call 1-877-88WOMAN.

The purpose of the chain is to foster aware-ness of this issue, that passing motorists would come to an understanding of the destructive nature of abortion with the hope that they might re-examine their thinking, and become active in defending life. Silent prayer will be offered for women (and men) who have been directly involved in abortion, those contemplat-ing abortion, for doctors, for gov’t officials to put a law in place to protect preborn children.

Pro Lifers believe in actively helping women who face unplanned pregnancies, and support women who may be suffering from post-abor-tion syndrome by offering a toll free Provincial Number: 1-877-88WOMAN, or www.thesig-nalhill.com and locally, the Crisis Pregnancy Centre in Nelson – 250-354-1199, text – 250-354-8727, or www.onlinecare.ca

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SVATICAN CITY - Popes John Paul II and John

XXIII will be declared saints on April 27, 2014.Pope Francis announced the date Monday

during a meeting with cardinals inside the Apostolic Palace.

Francis had announced in July he would can-onize two of the 20th century’s most influential popes together, approving a miracle attributed to John Paul’s intercession and bending Vatican rules by deciding that John XXIII didn’t need one.

Analysts have said the decision to canon-ize them together was aimed at unifying the church, since each pope has his admirers and critics. Francis is clearly a fan of both: On the anniversary of John Paul’s death this year, Francis prayed at the tombs of both men - an indication that he sees a great personal and spiritual continuity in them.

Both popes are also closely identified with the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meet-ings that brought the Catholic Church into modern times, an indication that Francis clearly wants to make a statement about the council’s role in shaping the church today.

A spokesman for Poland’s bishops’ confer-ence, the Rev. Jozef Kloch, said the dual canon-izations would stress the fact that John Paul II continued the ideas introduced by John XXIII, who called Vatican II.

B y B a r r y C o u l t e rCranbrook TownsmanFour and a half dec-

ades, 26 albums and a persona that com-pletely and controver-sially changed the look of rock concerts have made Alice Cooper one of the most prominent rock acts in the world.

And that rock icon is promising Cranbrook audiences the highest energy show they’ve seen in a while. Since the early 1970s, when his shows created controversy and scandal with their focus on horror, the macabre and elements designed to shock, an Alice Cooper concert has become one of the hottest tickets on the international touring circuit.

Cooper spoke to the Daily Townsman from Arizona on a searing hot day there, and cold rainy day in Cranbrook.

“It’s a ritual,” he said. “An Alice Cooper concert is going to be something that’s almost traditional now. They want the guillotine, they get the guillotine. They want Alice in a straitjacket — absolutely.”

Alice Cooper is bringing his “Raise the Dead” tour to Western Financial Place in Cranbrook on November 13. And the Godfather of Shock Rock is enthusiastic about what he and his band are presenting.

“The show is very hard rock,” Cooper said.

“It’s in three sec-tions. It starts out being really glam Alice, then it goes to nightmare Alice. We do a little section in

the show called ‘Raise the Dead,’ where it’s really about all my dead drunk friends.”

Cooper’s “Dead Drunk Friends” — his drinking buddies from yesteryear — just hap-pen to be among the most influential names in rock.

“They’re four guys that I used to drink with who are all gone now — John Lennon , Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison (lead sing-er of the Doors) and Keith Moon (drummer for the Who).

“We had a drink-ing club called the Hollywood Vampires. We drank every night at a place called the Rainbow, and it was literally last man standing kind of thing.

“But now, I watched all these guys go. I’ve never done a covers album before. So I said to my producer, ‘Why don’t we do a covers album but let’s direct it towards the Hollywood Vampires?’”

The proposed covers album has morphed into a four-song tribute to his late friends — a song from each of Hendrix, the Beatles, the Doors and the Who.

“It really makes it fun that not just is it about them, but the fact that I actually really used to drink with these guys,” Cooper said.

“They were my big brothers. I was their little brother.”

Cooper spoke at some length about Jim Morrison. Morrison, now con-sidered an important poet, was a legendary stage performer who revolutionized the

interaction between audience and artist through his tumul-tuous career with The Doors. He died at age 27, of a heart attack likely caused by extreme alcohol abuse.

“The funny thing was that you couldn’t talk him out of it,” Cooper said. “All he ever talked about, or sang about, was the other side. ‘This is the End,’ ‘Break on Through’ (famous

Doors’ songs) … When you think about it, he was so obsessed with death in one way or another.

“But he was great on stage, a great poet. He was fun to be with. But he was always pre-dicting his own death. And when his death came about, nobody was surprised. None of us sat back and said, ‘What a shock.’ We were surprised that he got to 27 years old.

“We (the Alice Cooper band) had the privilege of opening for The Doors,” Cooper continued. “It wasn’t one of those deals where we would do our show and get on the bus and go. We would

do our show and then stand on the stage and watch every night. Because every night was a different show. You never knew what Jim was going to do. He never did any song the same way twice.”

Cooper had his own struggles with alcho-lism, but has been clean and sober for decades. But it seems he looks back at his famous drinking club with nostalgia.See COOPER, Page 16

Master of the nightmare coming to Kootenaysalice Cooper talks about his

upcoming Cranbrook concert, the Hollywood Vampires, Jim

morrison, Satan, life as the dark outsider, the 1970s, and the best

band he’s ever had.

Members of the Kokanee Country Snowmobile Club (KCSC) and the Association of British Columbia Snowmobile Clubs (ABCSC) gath-ered at a location near

Boundary Lake on Sept. 21 to dedicate the new Terry Watt Memorial Cabin.

Started in the late summer last year, it was recently fin-ished and named for the longtime club member, who died in

February 2010, while he and others were planning the project. Watt was a strong advocate for the sport, raising awareness of the local club right up to the provincial level.

“He opened so many doors and so many

lines of communica-tion,” said KCSC presi-dent Dean Bala.

The cabin’s con-struction was a joint effort between KCSC — of which three members, J.D. McClure, Dave Kriese and Darryl Ringheim, were the project’s driv-ing force — ABCSC and Recreation Sites and Trails BC (a branch of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts).

The cabin has a kitchen area and loft

for sleeping, with a wood supply ready to use, allowing for both recreation and safety.

“If you ever had a break-down, you could spend the night,” said Bala.

And while the snowmobile club oper-ates it on behalf of its members, the cabin is unlocked and available for use by other out-door enthusiasts, such as skiers, whom the club would like to have pay the $50 member-ship fee, which goes to

support this and other projects.

“We would really appreciate it if people using it came to us and got a membership,” said Bala.

That also goes for any snowmobilers who want to join the club’s

80 members — num-bers have dropped a bit in recent years, but Bala can see the group getting bigger, if only a little.

For more informa-tion on the KCSC, contact Dean Bala at 250-402-3903.

Tembec is selling off some of its land in the East Kootenay.

The forestry company announced on Monday, September 30 that it hopes to sell $75 million worth of land in the region by the end of 2014.

The first sale is a 1,875 hectare parcel, which has been sold for $4.2 million to Nanaimo-based company Jemi Holdings Ltd. The transaction will be complete on or about November 1.

Tembec’s statement does not say where in the East Kootenay the parcel is located.

Tembec has had a presence in the East Kootenay since 1999 when it purchased the Elko and Canal Flats sawmills from Crestbrook Forest Industries. In November 2011, Tembec sold those mills to Canfor.

B y J i m B a i l e yTimes Sports EditorWho would have

thought that every BCHL Interior division game would mean so much so early in the season?

But with the Trail Smoke Eaters, Vernon Vipers, and Salmon Arm SilverBacks deadlocked in third spot, three points behind division lead-ing Penticton Vees and West Kelowna Warriors, and just one point up on Merritt Centennials, it gets late very early, and it’s not a stretch to say that every game is a must-win match.

This weekend the Smokies face the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Friday and follow that up Saturday with their third game against the Merritt Centennials. The Smoke Eaters are coming off a tough 5-3 loss to the West Kelowna Warriors Saturday, after notch-ing their first win at home in a 3-2 victory over Cowichan Valley Friday.

Trail’s Curtis Toneff has quietly emerged as a leader in the club-house and on the score sheet leading Smokie defenceman in scor-ing and third overall in team output with two goals and four assists in nine games. The Nanaimo native blasted in the win-ner against Cowichan Friday and counted two assists in the 5-3 loss to his former team the Warriors Saturday.

“Last year I got a bigger role playing in Manitoba so I got lots of ice, and got my con-fidence there and just kind of kept with it,” said Toneff.

His confidence has translated into six points in the past four games, in which the Smoke Eaters won 3-of-4. The six-foot-two-inch, 20-year-old is also a steady and responsible fixture in his own end, and believes the Smoke Eaters have the neces-sary tools to take it to the next level.

“We know we can beat every team,” said Toneff. “We know we have to step up against

teams like Penticton, but we know we’ve played with Westside and every team other than Penticton so far, so we know we can play with everyone.”

The Island division’s Alberni Valley, at 1-7-1, is relatively unknown but seemingly beat-able. Although recent-ly, the Bulldogs have made moves to bolster it’s lineupw which has scored the second least amount of goals, 20, and allowed the most goals in the BCHL, 42.

Recent addi-tions Craig Martin of Trail, Harlan Orr from Salmon Arm, and Jakson Elynuik from the Camrose Kodiaks should vastly improve a team that has struggled out of the gate. The addition of Michigan goaltend-er Tyger Howatt has already paid dividends. The 18-year-old has registered the Bulldogs only win and tie in his two games played and sports a 2.31 GAA and a .926 save percentage, and will undoubtedly get the start Friday.

After splitting a home-and-home with Trail last month, the division-rival Centennials are not as much of a mys-tery as the Bulldogs. It’s top line of Scott Patterson, Jeff Wight, and Sebastien Pare combined for seven points in its 5-0 shut-out of Trail on Sept. 17, but were effectively quelled the next night in Merritt where the Smokies skated to a 3-2 victory to start a three-game winning streak.

The Smoke Eaters will have to do the same this weekend in order to neutralize a solid Centennial side.

Bryan Basilico and Dylan Mascarin looked good in their first two

games in the Orange and Black last week-end, and provide the Smokies with more size and speed up front.

“Mascarin and Basilico were a great addition this week-end,” said Smoke Eater assistant coach Barry Zanier. “They had a lot of jump, their work ethic is through the roof, and they’re skilled so our team is definitely better with them.”

The battle for an Interior division playoff spot is heat-ing up already, with West Kelowna and Penticton jumping out to the early lead. How the division stacks up against other div-ision leaders should be answered tonight when the Warriors take on the League-leading Powell River Kings at 6-1-0.

“If you look at the standings right now, how tight it is, you can drop three or four places if you get a bad weekend, so the par-ity is fantastic,” said Warriors’ coach and GM Rylan Ferster. “The only thing we’re talk-ing about right now is making the play-offs. I think with so much parity and only four teams making the playoffs, there is going to be two really good teams in our division who don’t make the playoffs. To me if you finish first or fourth it doesn’t matter because you are playing some-one good in the first round.”

Smoke Eater goal-tender Adam Todd is sidelined with a low-er-body injury, while Scott Davidson sat out with an injury last weekend and is questionable. Nathan Browne is also out with an injury.

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks is one of three undefeated teams in the KIJHL and will look to keep the goose egg intact as it faces the Spokane Braves in Spokane Friday and return home for a match against the Osoyoos Coyotes at the Beaver Valley Arena Saturday.

The Kootenay Conference’s Hawks, Nelson Leafs, and Kimberley Dynamiters have yet to lose a game, while the lone unbeaten squad in regula-tion in the Okanagan-Shushwap Conference is the North Okanagan Knights that have just one overtime loss on the season.

Spokane meanwhile has two wins and seven losses, one of those an opening season 5-2 loss to B.V., however, it’s always interesting when the Nitehawks travel south of the border.

“It’s like a different world down there playing hockey,” said Nitehawks assistant coach Jeremy Cominotto. “The rules seem to change, and we always go in with the mentality that we’re two goals behind before we even step on the ice.”

Cominotto knows the Braves will have improved since their first meeting Sept. 13 and indeed both the Braves’ wins have come in their past four games, a 3-2 win over Columbia Valley, and a 6-3 drubbing of the Summerland Steam. Sandwiched between the two victories was a close 4-3 loss to the Nelson Leafs last Friday.

“We know that we’re in for a battle and just get that mindset that it’s going to be a long night, and we’re going to have to stay disci-

plined,” Cominotto said. “I’m sure that with a few weeks of practice and a couple more games, they’re going to be a better team and I know we’re a better team than we were the first time we played.”

The Coyotes meanwhile are another Okanagan-Shushwap Conference enigma. They currently sit tied for third in the Okanagan division and are coming off a weekend of mixed results, beat-ing the second-place Kelowna Chiefs 5-2 Friday before falling to the last place Princeton Posse 4-2 on Saturday.

“We don’t really know anything about them (Osoyoos), but they have a good organization and good coaching over there, and since they’ve come back into the league they seem to make a strong push in the playoffs, so we have high expecta-tions for Saturday night,” added Cominotto.

The Hawks line of Ryan Edwards, Taylor Stafford, and Michael Bell has accounted for the lion’s share of offensive production so far this season, but it does not mean the other three lines are not contributing, says Cominotto.

“The line of (Sam) Swanson, and (Mitch) Foyle, and (Sam) Barker they’ve done a great job for us this year, and up until the last couple games they’ve probably been our quickest line. They generate a lot of offence, they do the work of getting us into the offensive zone, and then Edwards’ line comes up and reaps all the bene-fits. That line’s done a great job for us this year.”

The Nitehawks game against the Coyotes goes Saturday at the B.V. Arena at 7:30 p.m.

While Smokie watch-ers are convinced the team is on the right track, the results are

still lacking where it will come to count most - on home ice.

A quick look at the early sea-son schedule indicated that Trail should have, and would need, a quick start to the year. After the two-game mini-event in Chilliwack, Trail was scheduled to play ten of their next 14 games at Cominco Arena, which should be a boon for a contending team.

So far, Trail is 1-4 at home in the early part of that, “favourable,” portion of the schedule and has been outscored 24-7 in those five games. Only two slightly improbable road wins in the middle of all that have them anywhere near a contending position - Trail is 3-1-1 away from what are supposed to be, “friendly confines.”

If, however, the Smoke Eaters do not very quickly find the path to success at home, that position will worsen rapidly. Starting tonight, Trail has five of seven matches in their home barn. Any continuation of the current trend will spell disaster for playoff hopes, club finances and coaching tenures.

Trailites, in terms of supporting local sporting activity, have become a lazy and semi-interested lot. The only way to entice them into the down-town (especially right now) and the arena is to put wins there on the board.

There can be no better time than tonight. Alberni Valley, which has given the Smokies fits the past few years whether they had good teams or bad, is off to a terrible start. The Bulldogs are one of only three BCHL clubs to have scored fewer goals than Trail and are the only team to

have surrendered more goals than the Smokies.

Not that it will be easy, but a decent effort from Trail should bring success. Then the Centennials, who shellacked the Smokies in their last visit, offer up an opportunity for revenge. Not that Trail absolutely, positively, will fail the season without sweep-ing this weekend, but dominance on home ground cannot come to early for a team which, after four late October road games in a row, has seven of 10 November games

in Cominco Arena.It is likely that unless the Smoke Eaters

quickly find a successful recipe for home games their playoff prospects will be cooked by January.

• I guess it is sort-of comforting to know when something is all your fault, because you are idle or stupid or some such.

It was explained to us by a city engineering tech last week that our frustrations with the Victoria St. morass were the result of us not doing our own research (silly us, we thought that’s what engineering folks were for) or not planning properly or just being sticks in the mud.

As to the poor research part, it seems, since the project was already two weeks behind sched-ule six weeks in because of surprises on the ground, we may have caught that from the pro-ject planners.

As to our own planning, well I doubt workers at Teck and other north end jobs could realistic-ally have had their hours changed so that fateful Thursday they could have found an extra two hours so as to get things done at downtown banks and businesses before they closed.

Then we are told the right hand lane which allowed dozens to hundreds of drivers right turn access from Cedar Avenue to Victoria St. every day for decades was as imaginary as the big right-turn arrow still painted on the road, and for our delusions we are to be punished by waiting in a single lane behind left-turning vehicles forever after.

I bet you are much less frustrated now, know-ing whom to blame for the unfolding disaster.

Smokies need wins at home

s u b m i T T E DApproximately 50 ladies attended

the Birchbank Ladies Closing event held on Sunday at Birchbank.

Cool, wet weather put a damper on the team scramble event which was scheduled to start off the day. Instead, the ladies gathered later at the Birchbank Bistro for happy hour, dinner and year end prize presentations.

The Crystal Cup Match Play was won by Lynda Doyle, with Barb Secco runner-up on the A side. B-side winner was Wanda Flack and runner-up was Carol Babcock. The overall net winner in the Monthly Competition was Joan Truant, who

won by retro over Karen Hubert. The overall winner of the Ringer

Board competition was Michele Shankland and Roberta Deluca had the most improved eclectic score on the ringer board. Irene Hanley had the Most Improved Handicap Factor for the year. Terry van Horn won the BC Pin Round competition, while Judy Healey, Day Ladies, and Jeri Santarossa, Business Ladies, were winners of the RCGA Pin Round competition in their respective sec-tions.

That wraps up the 2013 golf sea-son for the Birchbank Ladies Club, however, many of the ladies can still be seen out on the links.

By The Vernon Morning STarThe who’s who of curling will

be in action starting Thursday at the Vernon Curling Club.

Former world champions and a handful of rinks headed to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia will compete in a field of 32 at the $40,000 Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic.

Jim Cotter’s new-look Vernon rink, featuring skip John (Johnny Mo) Morris, will look to defend its Prestige men’s title when action begins Friday morning at 10:30 p.m. Cotter enters the 32-team, $26,000 men’s draw after a quarterfinal-ist performance at the Point Optical Curling Classic last weekend at the Nutana Curling Club in Saskatoon.

Morris joined the Cotter rink after playing with Edmonton’s Kevin Martin. Cotter, supported by second Tyrell Griffith and

lead Rick Sawatsky, will throw skip’s stones.

Meanwhile, Castlegar’s Deane Horning will play third for the T.J. Perepolkin rink with Tyler Orme and Chris Anderson filling in second and lead pos-itions respectively. Kimberley’s Tom Shypitka will throw third stones for the Jeff Richard Rink, and skip Andrew Bilesky, great-nephew of Trail legend Andy Bilesky and defending B.C. men’s champion, has to be con-sidered one of the favourites.

Vernon’s Mark Longworth, Jamie Sexton, Hugh Bennett and Michael Longworth head the other local rinks.

Headlining the triple-knockout event on the ladies side are Canadians Cheryl Bernard of Calgary, Shannon Kleibrink, Calgary, Kelley Law, New Westminster, Kelly Scott, Kelowna, and defending champion Heather Nedohin of

Edmonton.Big-name international

rinks include Eve Muirhead of Scotland, China’s Bingyu (Betty) Wang, Anna Sidorova of Russia, and Swiss curler Mirjam Ott.

Robbi Kuhn, supported by Karla Thompson, Brooklyn Leitch and Michelle Ramsay is the lone local entry.

“The lineup for the women is best we’ve had for sure,” said Vernon club manager Dave Merklinger. “Teams from all over the world, and some of them are Olympic teams. And who knows what’ll happen here from Canada.”

The first women’s draw goes at 10 a.m. Thursday, followed by draws at 1, 5 and 8 p.m. Admission is $10 a day, or $30 for a five-day pass.

The men’s final is set for 3 p.m. Monday. The women’s final goes 4 p.m. Sunday.

FROM PAGE 11“It was great, and

we did have a lot of fun,” he said. “And it was mindless fun. When you’re in your 20s, and you’re living on beer, basically … I look back and say those were really the good old days.”

Death, the macabre and the shadow side of humanity have always been touchstone themes of Cooper’s songwriting, albums and stage performance. His most recent album — his 26th (“Welcome 2 My Nightmare,” a

sort of sequel to his 1975 album of that name) and his ongoing “Raise the Dead” tour both confront death, look it in the face, comment on its before and afters.

“I think Alice has always been interested in that — things like life and death, God and the devil, good and evil, sinners, saints,” Cooper said. “There’s a very Christian sort of attitude about it.

“I grew up in a Christian home,” he said. “I was what you could call the prodi-

gal son. My dad was a pastor, my grandfather was a pastor. I grew up in Christianity, went as far away as I could, and then came back. So I do write about the devil. I write about Satan, I write about God. But I write about Satan in much more of a warning.

“It’s one of those things where I’m say-ing, ‘Be careful who you invite in. Be care-ful of what doors you open.’ Because the devil’s best trick is to make you think he doesn’t exist.

“I write a lot of songs that say not only does he exist, but he is very active in trying to get ahold of you.”

Alice Cooper’s per-sona over the four dec-ades has served as a dark mirror of human-ity, in which we see the things we avoid think-ing that we are.

“There’s a cath-arsis there too,” he said. “I always realized one thing about the character of Alice was that is he is not the mainstream, he is the lunatic fringe. Alice was never going to be

about Crosby, Stills and Nash, or Jackson Browne. I was always the one who collected those kids who didn’t fit in. There were tons of those kids out there — the kids that didn’t fit in related with Alice. So I was sort of the dark outsider.

“But I think what happened was that people finally started picking up on the sense of humour. You’re going to be the villain and the dark outsider, have fun with it. Don’t be this char-acter that’s just doom and gloom. I’ve always thought the villain was the character that had the greatest lines, and probably had the best sense of humour. So people started finding the sense of humour in Alice Cooper, and it relieved them a little bit, that you could be an outsider and still be funny.”

The original Alice Cooper band played for years before breaking into the international mainstream in the early 1970s, with a string of hits like “I’m 18,” “School’s Out,” “Billion Dollar Babies,” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy.” When he began his solo career, he pioneered the musical recurring nightmare which almost single-handedly created a new musical genre, and from which he continues to draw

inspiration. He agrees with the suggestion that the early 1970s have never been given enough credit as a per-iod of great musical creativity.

“Think of all the ‘70s bands that took rock and roll and stretched it and turned it into an artform,” he said. “I love the ‘60s stuff. But if you really think of the ‘60s, it was really three-minute happy songs. And then you go to the ‘70s and all of a sudden here comes all these bands and stretched it into some-thing new. So I think the ‘70s may have been the most cre-ative time in rock and roll, when you think of Bowie, when you think of Roxy Music, T-Rex, Frank Zappa and the Mothers. And we (the Alice Cooper Band) contributed in our way.”

Cooper’s view of the evolution of rock music since that per-iod is less kind.

“Rock music is anemic right now,” he said. “How many rock bands are there, actually? There’s the Foo Fighters, there’s Jack White, there’s Green Day — bands like Chicken Foot. But the majority of rock bands today are just anemic. They want to be more folk, or they want to be more intro-spective — no image, let’s just get out there and write these songs that are sensitive.

“Whereas rock music is Guns N Roses, Aerosmith — really arrogant, snotty rock and roll. I think we need more of that. I really like Billy Talent (a Canadian melodic punk rock band from Ontario). I’ve always thought Billy Talent was one of the really unsung rock and roll bands.”

Alice Cooper’s positive enthusiasm returns with mention of the band he’s tour-ing with, and bringing to Cranbrook.

“I got Orianthi. Orianthi is our 27-year-old female Australian guitar player, and she can play Hendrix like Hendrix. She is a monster guitar player. She looks like a model and she plays like Jimi Hendrix.

“It’s going to be the highest energy show you see all year.”

Cooper says persona mixes dark outsider with humour“I was what you call the

prodigal son. My dad was a pastor, my grandfather

was a pastor. I grew up in Christianity, went as far

away as I could and then came

back.”alicE coopEr

Dear Annie: I love my husband, but I don’t like him any-more. He is disrespect-ful to me because I am overweight, and he has been after me for years to lose the extra pounds. He uses filthy language when he speaks to me and says it’s OK because I am disrespecting him by not losing weight.

I’m 58 years old, have back problems, wear a size 8 and could stand to lose a good 15 pounds. I am an emo-tional eater. I lose the weight and then gain it back. But he acts as if I am 50 pounds over-weight. Meanwhile, he is tall, thin, has a small beer belly and takes medication for his high cholesterol. My choles-terol is fine.

I’ve asked him to go with me for coun-seling, but he won’t. I went alone years ago, but don’t see anything changing if he won’t go. This is so childish. He is so hateful of any-one who is overweight.

I can’t take it any-more. I’m getting more depressed and have been seriously thinking of divorce. I want to leave and never come back. Any suggestions? -- Any Name in Any City

Dear Any Name: Your husband has become a bully and a verbal abuser. If he has an ounce of sense, he would know that this is not an effective way to get you (or anyone) to change your behavior. It’s simply a way for him to vent, and you are the target of his frustrations. Tell your husband you are ready to walk and that coun-seling may be the last chance the two of you have to work things

out. If he still refuses, talk to a counselor on your own and figure out what you want from your marriage and whether it’s too late to save it.

Dear Annie: I have been dear friends with “Nancy” for 10 years. I am worried about her mental health.

Nancy has had many issues with depression. But in the past three months, her mother died unexpectedly, and then her mother’s house burned down. Her brother and step-father were still living there. They are now living in Nancy’s tiny apartment. Her broth-er is a drug addict with a history of violent behavior.

All of this is taking a toll on her, and I can easily see her slipping back into depression. Can you tell me of any free or low-cost places where she can go? She has no insurance and barely makes ends meet. -- Concerned Friend in Kentucky

Dear Friend: We’ve printed this list before, but it bears repeating: Free and low-cost help is available through local churches, gradu-ate school counseling departments, med-ical school psychology departments, United Way, the YMCA, YWCA, the Samaritan Institute (samaritaninstitute.org), NAMI (nami.org), and through support groups such as the Depression and Bipolar Alliance (dbsalliance.org) and the Abraham Low Self-Help Systems (lowselfhelpsystems.org).

Dear Annie: As a breast cancer advo-cate, as well as being a stage IV breast can-cer patient, I am con-cerned about the let-ter from “Torn Sister,” who says her older sis-ter, “Johanna,” is using a breast cancer diagno-sis to manipulate her family into buying her things.

Receiving a diag-nosis of a serious breast cancer, such as

inflammatory breast cancer, is quite nat-urally upsetting. But expecting large sums of money from family members is unreason-able and something I’ve never heard of a cancer patient doing. Frankly, I wonder whether “Johanna” actually has

cancer. I would not take her word for it. “Torn” could offer to go with her to an appoint-ment with her oncolo-gist or to a chemother-apy treatment.

Most of us with a serious cancer diagno-sis hope for love from our families, but not

money. -- FloridaDear Florida:

Thank you for writing and for giving us the opportunity to men-tion that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Readers, to find a screening site near you, go to nbcam.org.

For Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You can learn a lot about your style of relating to oth-ers if you observe yourself today. However, remem-ber to get more rest now, because you definitely need it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Take some time to do whatever you can to get bet-ter organized. Get shelving, file folders, labels, cleaning equipment or whatever you need to help you do a good job. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Make time for play, because you want to have fun right now. Enjoy flirta-tions, sports events, parties, social times with others and playful activities with chil-dren. Yay! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It’s totally appropriate if you want to cocoon or hide at home now. You need

the comfort of familiar sur-roundings. Discussions with family members could be important. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your daily pace is acceler-ating with short trips, con-versations with others and increased reading and writ-ing. It’s exhilarating and fun to learn something new! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might want to show off something you recently purchased or something you own. After all, your posses-sions should make your life easier, right? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Both the Sun and Moon are in your sign today, which means you can ener-gize yourself. It’s OK to put yourself first. This is one day in the year when it’s all about you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Behind-the-scenes activi-ties appeal to you now. You

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a good time to think of goals and how you can make your dreams for the future a reality. Talk to others about these hopes, because their input could help you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You make a great impres-sion on authority figures (bosses, parents, teach-ers and VIPs). Because of this, ask for what you want. Demand the advantage. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Try to travel somewhere now if you can, because you want to broaden your hori-zons. You feel the need for adventure and a change of

scenery. You want more out of life! PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re dealing with shared property and issues or dis-putes about inheritances and jointly held possessions. Accomplish as much as you can now. YOU BORN TODAY You are friendly and social. Justice and fair treatment are important to you, and you have high ideals, which

is why you want to make the world a better place. One reason you can succeed at doing this is because people like you. You will work dili-gently for a good cause, but you are high-spirited and fun-loving as well. This year an important choice will arise. Choose wisely.

B y C r a i g L i n d s a yGrand Forks Gazette

The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the Regional Broadband Committee (RBC).

The RDKB is partnering with several other organizations including the Regional District of Central Kootenay, Regional District of East Kootenay, Ktunaxa Nation Council, Columbia Basin Trust and Columbia Power Corporation, in creating the Regional Broadband Committee to develop a regional broadband strategy.

“The partnership is to extend broadband high speed internet access to the whole region,” said Larry Gray, chair of the RDKB.

“To do that, there’s a plan that’s being development by the Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation to extend Fibre Optics to a number of commun-ities in the region and use that as a basis either to build from a central location like Nelson or Trail to business communities and other through fibre connec-tion or through wireless connec-tion.”

Broadband is already present in certain areas in the West

Kootenay. Gray said the idea is to expand the broadband coverage although some rural areas will have to settle for wireless cover-age due to cost and accessibility.

“There is a partnership agree-ment with Shaw and that would allow for more connections with other centres such as Grand Forks in the future,” he said.

Grand Forks has a free Wi-Fi network set up for the downtown core, although Grand Forks Mayor Brian Taylor, who sits on the RDCK board as well, says the two are not directly connected.

“We’ve got a fibre optic net-work in our community,” said Doug Allin, CAO of Grand Forks.

“We’ve also got a fibre optic masterplan that were bringing to council. We’re actually looking at that right now – the ability for businesses to connect to that.”

Allin said the city owns it’s own fibre optic network in part-nership with the school district and is looking. They city will be looking down the road at connecting with the Columbia Broadband plan.

“There’s also another com-ponent which involves other agencies,” he said. “So we want to explore that. We’ll be bringing it to council for their considera-tion.”

Grand ForksInvermere

B y d a n W a L t o nInvermere Valley Echo

Salmon were cut off from the Columbia River in 1942 after the completion of the Grand Coulee Dam, but before the drought of chinook reaches its centennial, the Canadian Columbia River Intertribal Fisheries Commission (CCRIFC) has a plan to bring them back from the ocean.

“The Grand Coulee Dam (in Washington state) was finished in 1942, so that was the last of the salmon,” CCRIFC director Bill Green said at the Columbia Salmon Festival in Invermere on Saturday. “We’d like to have them back here in full stock by 2042.”

Another impassable dam, the Chief Joseph, was subse-quently built approximately 50 kilometres west of the Grand Coulee. Green wants to give the salmon a hand in getting past those two major obstacles.

After capturing them at the Chief Joseph, the fish will be transported upstream of the Grand Coulee.

“Then we’ll release them into Roosevelt Reservoir, which is a big reservoir lake, and put radio tags on them to follow them up stream,” he explained. “We’ll see if they find their spawning grounds up here, various little

tributaries and the main stem. Then we’ll see if they success-fully spawn and we can monitor the survival of the eggs.”

More than a dozen dams lie between Columbia Lake and the Pacific ocean, and six of them prevent the passage of salmon. With help passing only two of those dams, the first phase of the project won’t see the chi-nook travel much further than the Canada - U.S. border.

“Once the salmon are past the Grand Coulee Dam, they can swim all the way upstream, 60 kilometres as far as the Keenleyside Dam, or 55 kilo-metres as far as the Brilliant Dam,” he said.

Both dams are in Castlegar, which is far enough into Canada for the project to hold an appropriate title: Experimental Reintroduction of Chinook Salmon to the Transboundary Reach.”

The “trap and truck” meth-od of transporting salmon has been practiced successfully in the past, but never on such a large scale, said Green. If the project yields positive results, the CCRIFC hope to reintro-duce salmon into interior B.C., and eventually the valley.

“Three dams along the way have undergone environmental assessments for hydropower

expansion, and when they did that we got them to agree that if we get salmon back to here, they’ll put fish passage ladders and other passage technologies in each of those three dams,” Green added. “So we have a way forward.”

But before making the pitch for major adjustments on mas-sive dams, the CCRIFC must be thorough in its research, as the group also has to deal with red tape in two countries.

“Once we have information (regarding which specific sal-mon stocks will be sampled) and present it to the various govern-ments on both sides of the bor-der, and hopefully get approval, then we do that experiment three times over three years and look at the results.”

Working with a First Nations organization, Green said the Ktunaxa Nation and the Shuswap Band both feel a strong need to have the salmon come back. He said that salmon was one-third of their tradition-al protein source.

“Their lifestyle was built around the salmon, and they want to build that back.”

He said the group is under-taking the project for that rea-son and “for all of us to have salmon back and clean healthy water.”
