New year’s cheer will probably be followed by a new year jeer when FortisBC electrical cus-tomers start paying a 3.3 per cent rate increase effective the first day of 2014.

“We filed an application for the 3.3 per cent increase with the BC Utilities Commission in July,” confirmed Neal Pobran, FortisBC corpor-ate communications manager. “And we did get interim approval for that rate increase.”

Pobran said the interim approval allows for the rate increase effective Jan. 1, however the rates setting procedure is ongoing and could be subject to change based on that regulatory process.

“If the rate changes, customers’ bills will be adjusted accordingly,” he added.

The FortisBC rate increase confirmation comes on the heels of BC Hydro’s announce-ment this week when Energy Minister Bill Bennett laid out that

company’s 10-year plan that includes a 15 per cent rate hike in the next two years, and then 10.5 per cent three years after that.

Although those rate hikes appear to be monu-mental, FortisBC customers are currently pay-ing more for electricity and will continue to pay more, said Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs.

Bogs is chair of a mayoral committee that addressed Les MacLaren (Assistant Deputy for the Ministry of Energy) with a report from the Lower Columbia Community Development Team Society (LCCDTS) which illuminated the fact that FortisBC residential consumer rates are, on average, 20 per cent higher than its counterpart, BC Hydro.

The energy report was commissioned ear-lier this year by the Energy and Sustainability Committee of the LCCDTS to review and com-pare the rate disparities.

“Our objective is to find out what can be done to ensure that our rates are closer to BC Hydro,” said the mayor.

“Even with Hydro’s increases we will still be paying more,” he explained. “Because we are already paying up to 25 per cent higher and will see more rate increases over the next five years,” said Bogs.

The Trail and District Arts Council (TDAC) has only recently submitted its pro-posal for a new business plan for the venerable Charles Bailey Theatre but the coun-cil and the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) have already stepped up its game for the coming concert season.

Canadian icon Bryan Adams will bring his Bare

Bones acoustic tour to the Greater Trail Community Centre on Feb. 24.

As well known as Adams may be, the process of book-ing an artist of this kind of renown for a town the size of Trail was no small effort, according to Mark Daines, manager of facilities and recreation for the RDKB.

“We started making con-tact with some of the book-ing agencies to see what kind of acts might be avail-

able,” Daines said. “I started a dialog with Live Nation (a major U.S. live events and concert promotion company) and we had a lot of back and forth, whether it fits on the tour, fit with their plan and numbers.

“Basically from their per-spective they wanted to nail down venues along the tour route.”

Although the $113 ticket price may potentially be the highest ever charged for a

show at the Charles Bailey, Daines says he thinks it’s well worth the price considering the artist.

“For this venue, the intim-acy of a solo show like this, the price is reasonable,” he said. “Bryan Adams appeals to a much broader range of market than some of the acts that we’ve had in. The phone hasn’t stopped ringing off the hook since we announced the show.”

The KBRH Health Foundation rang in 25 years with an open house Monday to cele-brate the new digital stereotactic diagnostic mammography ser-vice, as well as other diagnostic imaging improvements at the Trail Hospital.

About 80 people turned up to hear from elected officials and professionals repre-senting the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH) Health Foundation and Interior Health (IH) and to take a tour of the improved depart-ment.

“In our 25th anniversary year, the KBRH Health Foundation is very proud to bring digital stereotactic mam-mography to KBRH,” said Lisa Pasin, direc-tor of development at the KBRH Hospital Foundation. “The Digital Mammography Campaign raised $795,000 in 22 months, due to the generosity and com-mitment of our donor groups, which includ-ed corporations, ser-vice clubs, auxiliaries and individuals.

“With completion of the campaign, we are supporting patients and families who live and work through-out the Kootenay Boundary by providing the gold standard of medical imaging right here in our commun-ity.”

A mammography exam is used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women, a process that is exped-ited with digital equip-ment.

This advancement in diagnostic imagin-ing means fewer inva-sive procedures and

less travel outside the area for patients and their families.

Digital diagnostic mammography ser-vice began in Trail in October, replacing the previous film-based analog equipment. The new technology offers the benefit of having results that are immediately accessible through a computer archive and also offers a much clearer, crisp result.

“We knew the digital was going to be much bigger but we didn’t anticipate that it would be so much bigger,” said Dr. Elsabe Steenkamp, medical director of diagnos-tic imaging at KBRH. “You want to look back on the television screen you had 12 years ago and you want to compare that to the high definition screens you see today, that’s the difference.”

The new equip-ment and technol-ogy will also allow

KBRH radiologists to perform stereotactic core needle biopsies in Trail. With stereo-tactic capability, the biopsy happens right in the mammography room, not the operat-ing room. The biopsy is less invasive because

the instrument is a needle, not a scalpel, according to x-ray technician Charmaine Evdokimoff.

Advantages of stereotactic capability include: quicker diag-nosis, no general anes-thetic, no stitches, less

scarring, faster recov-ery time, and faster, more reliable diagno-sis.

Monday’s open house was also an opportunity to cele-brate other recent investments in the hospital’s diagnos-tic imaging depart-ment, which includes a new ultrasound machine and ultra-sound stretcher, a new 64-slice CT scanner, CT scan and MRI work stations, and a car-diac ultrasound com-puter system. Over the past two years, about $1.6 million has been invested in this depart-ment.

“The great work our clinicians do for people in this region con-tinues to be acknow-ledged through the incredible generos-ity of local residents and the dedication of the KBRH Health Foundation,” said Norman Embree, IH board chair.

“These partner-ships continue to sup-port Interior Health in providing quality care to our local commun-ities.”

The ribbon cutting was performed by Karen Hadley of Trail Hospital Auxiliary, Sharon Hansen, Rossland HealthCare Auxiliary, Sue DeRosa, pro-fessional practice leader of KBRH’s diagnostic imaging, and Lisa Pasin of the KBRH Health Foundation. The ceremony marked the official opening of the multiple improvements to the department and the closing of the foundation’s campaign.

“The committee is hoping to meet before Christmas for intelligent conversation and to see what we can do about this from a political perspective.”

Every year FortisBC has a rates setting process with the BC Utilities Commission that is open to anyone who wishes to attend or take part in at BCUC.com, said Pobran.

“The big difference is that we have different cus-tomer classes,” Pobran told the Trail Times. “So residen-tial is 20 per cent higher but our commercial customers are a little bit lower so there is that to consider right now.”

Another rate hike burns Warfield Mayor Bert Crockett for a few reasons.

Crockett is a member of the group of mayors who

met with MacLaren in August.

“The whole deal is that Fortis is getting a higher bottom line under the guise of energy conservation,” he said.

“Charging more may have the customer think-ing twice about how much energy is being used,” Crockett explained.

“But at the end of the day the incline rate is wrong especially for people who have no choice but elec-trical heat, which Fortis has already made a whole pile of money on,” he continued.

“To me that is just not right. They should just charge so much per kilowatt hour and then I will make my own adjustments on how much I heat my house. It’s really not their concern how I use my energy so long as I pay my bill.”

Mayor questions incline rate billing policy

Local songwriter and small business owner, Catherine Manna, may not have taken home the hardware (or what-ever the internet equivalent of a trophy may be) but she still appreciates the nomination and is determined to continue practising her craft.

“I didn’t win but I got out there and that’s a good start,” said Manna. “There are over 15,000 artists on that site (Independent Music Channel) and many more than that on ReverbNation, which is con-

nected with it. I’m still hon-oured to have been nominated which puts me in the top five of the two categories.”

Manna says she will con-tinue writing and submitting her work to the web radio sites now that she’s seen the kind of notice she gains by putting her music out there.

“On ReverbNation I’m trending now, in the singer/songwriter category I’m in the top 20 in Canada on their site,” she said. “Every day I’ve got four or five new fans on my account page on the site and I’m getting feedback from

other songwriters and pro-ducers who are interested in working with me.”

However, she’s not resting on her laurels now that she’s gotten a taste of the exciting life of the world wide web’s independent music industry, there is always room for more on the web.

“I’m always working on something and I’ve pulled out some older tunes that I’ve been holding back on, I’ll be sub-mitting them,” Manna said. “Hey, on the ReverbNation site I’m ranked number one singer/songwriter in Trail.”

Local songwriter just happy to get recognition

FROM PAGE 1And that’s good

news to attract people to the recently-reno-vated venue.

“We’ve made a number of improve-ments,” said Daines. “We’ve replaced the sound equipment and brought in some really impressive new LED stage lighting.

“We’re working on the mandate to bring it up into the 21st Century.”

In addition to the

technical aspects of the theatre, there is new carpeting and paint, including some speciality imported gold paint that has been used in some accents and trim.

Although bring-ing in a name artist is a step in the right direction for the the-atre, TDAC front house manager, Nadine Tremblay, is hoping approval of their busi-ness plan may lead to even more traffic

through the theatre.“Bookings are down

for locals and groups using the theatre,” said Tremblay.

“We’re trying to get the rent reduced. That was identified as the number one concern on renters minds in the survey we con-ducted for the new business plan.”

In addition to lowering rent the new TDAC business plan is focusing on bring-ing the theatre more

prominently into the public’s awareness.

“We have a mar-keting and promotion strategy, possibly hire someone on a part-time basis to handle that,” Tremblay said. “It’s really important to increase the usage of the theatre.”

Tickets for the Bryan Adams concert go on sale Monday at 10 a.m. at the Charles Bailey Theatre box office with a limit of two per person.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SPRINCE GEORGE, B.C. - The mother

of a young boy has a police dog in Prince George, to thank for tracking her five-year-old - or she could have waited until naptime was over.

The anxious mom called police when she couldn’t find her son and concern grew as three RCMP officers unsuccessfully searched the home in the north central B.C. city, even moving a large dresser to check for the boy.

That’s when Astro, the police service dog, and his handler, arrived at the scene, searched the perimeter of the home and then moved inside, where the dog almost immediately began indicating that someone was in the child’s room.

Prince George RCMP Cpl. Craig Douglass says Astro focused on the same six-drawer dresser that had already been moved by officers, but instead of signalling behind or under the furniture, the dog stuck its head in one of the drawers.

Since there was still no sign of the youngster, the handler began to remove the drawers, quickly revealing that the boy had climbed into the dresser and was snoozing under the drawers.

Penticton Western NewsUnauthorized signs

that have sprung up along Highway 97 in the South Okanagan are now in the cross-hairs of government officials, who will

adopt a “scorched-earth” approach to cleaning up the mess early next year.

Staff from the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen have teamed with counter-

parts from the B.C. T r a n s p o r t a t i o n Ministry for a pilot project that will clear a 10-kilometre stretch of the highway corri-dor between Road 1 and Road 21 south of Oliver where a recent count tallied 140 signs.

“It’s a driver dis-traction,” said Jeff Wiseman, a regional manager for the min-istry, who last week shared details of the project with the RDOS board, which requested action last year.

He said signs on that particular stretch of roadway “have pro-liferated to the extent now that just the sheer number of signs has become a safety issue.”

Besides limiting visibility, Wiseman explained, the unauthorized signs

also distract from offi-cial notices that indi-cate speed limits or upcoming hazards.

While some signs are sanctioned, such as the small, blue-and-white metal placards that advertise a busi-ness, the majority are not, he continued, since “we permit very little, if nothing,” while those on private property are subject to a narrow set of RDOS bylaws that most don’t follow.

Wiseman said the pilot project will begin in January, when prop-erty owners in the tar-geted area will receive letters asking them to remove their illicit signs.

After a month, those who don’t comply will be given another 30 days, after which signs that remain in place

will be removed by the ministry’s high-way maintenance con-tractor.

He noted the con-tractor is obligated to do so at no extra charge under its exist-ing deal.

Wiseman was asked to explain why the ministry allowed the population of signs to explode in the first place, which he attributed to a lack of resources and the absence of consistent divisions between pri-vate and public prop-erty.

Plus, “In the past, we’ve been a little bit sometimes reluc-tant to go after these signs with great gusto because if you go after one, generally you have to go after them all. You can’t single one out,” he explained.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SMONTREAL - A Canadian expert says a

bright flash of light accompanied by sounds of a booming explosion in parts of Eastern Canada were probably a good-sized fireball.

Numerous people posted Twitter messa-ges reporting a blue flash and a thundering boom in the Montreal and Ottawa areas at about 8 p.m. eastern Tuesday.

Quebec provincial police also received several calls.

Peter Brown, a physics professor at Western University in London, Ont., said the fact there was sound usually indicates something penetrated deeper into the atmos-phere.

“That’s often associated with things that may have made it to the ground,” he said in a telephone interview Wednesday.

“It’s certainly consistent with the effect we would expect for a relatively good-sized fireball that might produce meteorites.”

Brown said he would not be surprised if meteorites landed somewhere on the ground. He also said it would be difficult to speculate about the size of the fiery object because of a lack of information.

The university has a network of about a dozen video stations that watch the sky all night looking for bright meteors.

Fireball probable source of light and boom: expert T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S S

OTTAWA - The Harper government says it wants Canadian diplomats in foreign countries to re-chan-nel their energies and resources into advan-cing the country’s commercial interests.

Trade Minister Ed Fast says he wants to do more to break into fast-growing emerging markets that many - including the Bank of Canada - have identi-fied as key to the coun-try’s future prosperity.

Fast, who played a major role in the C a n a d a - E u r o p e a n Union trade nego-tiations, outlined the policy Wednesday in a speech to the Economic Club, describing it as a sea change in the way dip-lomatic resources are deployed around the world.

“In a fiercely com-

petitive global econ-omy, Canada cannot be complacent,” he said in prepared remarks. “We must be more aggressive and effect-ive than the intense competition we face as we advance Canada’s commercial interests in key global markets.

“In short, this new plan will play to our strengths and ensure that all the govern-ment of Canada’s dip-lomatic assets are har-nessed to support the pursuit of commercial success by Canadian companies and invest-ors.”

Fast said the change would entrench the concept of commercial success for Canadian firms and investors as one of the core object-ives for the foreign ser-vice.

The policy has clear objectives: within five years, Fast said, he

wants to come close to doubling the 11,000 or so small and medium-sized Canadian firms that currently operate in emerging markets such as China, India and Brazil.

But it remains unclear how it would

work - whether Ottawa would increase its dip-lomatic footprint in designated countries or boost spending on the effort.

The government has in the past sig-nalled its intent to advance commerce

as a key function of the diplomatic corps. It has already melded the trade and foreign affairs functions under a single department and announced plans to fold in the Canadian I n t e r n a t i o n a l Development Agency.

Feds want diplomats to focus on commerce


OPINION

Governments slow to wake up to economic realitiesThe government

sector in Alberta is unhappy and they want Premier

Alison Redford and her colleagues to know it.

Universities are adver-tising against provincial reductions in their fund-ing while government unions are up in arms over proposed pension reforms that would place them more on par with the private sector.

It is not clear why the government sec-tor believes it must be immune from change.

First, the case for pen-sion reform is not diffi-cult to make. Canadians live much longer now than they once did and that necessitates a reform of government pensions promised when everyone lived shorter lives.

Such demographic changes are why there has been a two-decade trend in the private sector away from defined bene-fit plans – which guar-antee a certain level of retirement income but can bankrupt companies –

toward defined contribu-tion plans and other forms of retirement provision. Such reforms can still be substantial, but are more securely based on contri-butions plus the return on investment.

In the public sector, however, defined benefit plans live on. In 2011 in Alberta, 278,252 employ-ees or 79 per cent of the public sector had defined benefit plans; in the pri-vate sector, only 148,572 employees, or just above nine per cent of that sec-tor, possessed a defined benefit plan.

And that’s the real problem. T

axpayers, most of whom do not have a defined benefit plan, end up pay-ing for pension promises to government employees’ unions.

The bill for such prom-ises is now a $10.8 bil-lion liability according to Alberta Finance.

As for the higher edu-cation sector, it has been advertising since last spring’s provincial budget about reductions to its

funding, rather than take the opportunity to con-sider which programs and departments are past their expiry date and should be cut.

I agree that nurses have tough jobs and that uni-versities are a necessary part of a civilized society. But that doesn’t mean the public sector should for-ever be immune to reform.

Most taxpayers, who work in the private sector, are constantly adjusting to new realities.

It is only in govern-ment that adjustments are often made last-minute, leading to severe disrup-tion for those involved,

and long after the private sector has already come to grips with change.

For example, data from Statistics Canada shows that private sec-tor employment in Alberta dropped by 57,000 between 2008 and 2009 in response to the reces-sion – the oil and gas sec-tor alone lost 19,000 jobs according to a University of Alberta report – while employment in the total government sector (fed-eral, provincial and muni-cipal) increased by 21,000.

On a case by case basis, again according to Statistics Canada, between June 2008 and June 2009 Alberta provincial govern-ment employment rose by 1,549 people, health and social services employ-ment by 2,921, higher education by 650 and local school board employment by 2,112.

The only public sector entity which saw a decline in employment was prov-incial Crown corpora-tions, where 310 jobs were lost.

The numbers are useful

to consider because, in the context of later provin-cial decisions to restrain the growth of govern-ment (i.e., in 2013) and to pare back spending in some areas, the province is merely playing catch-up to what happened in the private sector four years ago during the recession.

Governments do reform spending eventually, but usually only after multiple deficit budgets.

However, because they can access taxpayer pockets or borrow almost without limit (or in Alberta’s case run down the Sustainability Fund), governments are often slow to enact necessary reforms.

It is only once gov-ernments awaken to the notion that their spending habits need restructuring that they realize they are dealing with the realities faced by the private sec-tor and corrected years before.

Early November marked the 18th anniversary of the tragic murder of outspoken writer and

environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight colleagues by the Nigerian government. Saro-Wiwa and the others had waged a long campaign to stop multinational oil company Royal Dutch Shell from drilling in the lands of the Ogoni people in the Niger delta.

Nigerian mil-itary harassed and intimidated members of the Ogoni com-munity for years because they opposed Shell’s drilling pro-gram. Saro-Wiwa and his col-leagues defended their com-munities and local environ-ment from a notoriously toxic industry. In November 1995, a special court established by the military government illegally detained and tried them on spurious charges. Convicted without due process, they were executed 10 days later, despite enormous international outcry.

Sadly, this is not an iso-lated occurrence. A recent report by human rights organ-ization Global Witness docu-ments the murders of more than 700 environmental and indigenous-rights activists over the past decade – more than one killing a week, on average. They reviewed databases, aca-demic studies and news reports, and consulted with the United Nations and other international agencies. They found citizens are often harassed, intimidated, beaten up, sexually assaulted and sometimes killed for oppos-ing endangered wildlife poach-ing, illegal logging, dams and activities of foreign mining companies – including some Canadian firms.

I experienced this reality in 1988 when we interviewed rub-ber tapper Chico Mendes about his battle to save the Amazon rainforest in Brazil for CBC’s The Nature of Things. He was assassinated two weeks later.

The following year, Kaiapo Chief Paiakan asked me to help stop a dam proposed for Altamira, Brazil. My wife, Tara, and I helped raise $70,000 for a dem-onstration, and the World Bank was persuaded to with-draw its project loan. Paiakan was

then subjected to death threats. We brought him and his family to Vancouver until the danger subsided.

Many instances of persecu-tion and killing have occurred in countries with atrocious human rights records, such as Sri Lanka, Guatemala and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Yet surprisingly, most attacks on environmentalists have been in countries such as Brazil, Mexico and the Philippines, with democratically elected governments, independent judiciaries and other institu-tions intended to protect their citizens’ rights to voice con-cerns about the environment without facing harassment, intimidation and violence.

These countries have also signed international agree-ments to protect human rights, like the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

As the recent incarcera-tion of 28 Greenpeace activists and two freelance journalists by Russian authorities clearly demonstrates, human rights are vulnerable at a time when governments aggressively pro-mote the interests of corpora-tions over a healthy environ-ment, and are willing to use

heavy-handed tactics to ensure people who disagree don’t stand in the way.

In this latest case, Russian special operations forces arrested the Greenpeace International activists, includ-ing two Canadians, Alexandre Paul and Paul Ruzycki, for attempting to hang a banner off the side of an oil rig in Arctic waters. They were protesting Russian company Gazprom’s plans to drill for oil in one of the most ecologically sensitive regions of the planet, and rais-ing awareness of the conse-quences of climate change. For speaking out in defence of the Arctic, they were imprisoned for two months under difficult conditions and all but one were only recently released on bail. They now face the possibility of long, harsh jail sentences if found guilty of piracy and hoo-liganism.

Although leaders of the Netherlands, Brazil and Germany called for release of their nationals and other mem-bers of the “Arctic 30”, Prime Minister Steven Harper and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird have so far been silent.

Too often, governments are quick to use excessive force and even pervert the course of justice to keep oil and gas flowing, forests logged, wild rivers dammed and minerals extracted.

As the Global Witness study reveals, citizens are often killed, too – especially if they’re poor and indigenous.

We must remember the sac-rifices of Ken Saro-Wiwa, Chico Mendes and hundreds of other advocates and defend people’s rights to peacefully speak out for the environment, without fear of intimidation, arrest and violence.

T H E C A N A D i A N P R E S SVICTORIA - British

Columbia’s government is once again trying to correct some historical wrongs committed against the Chinese commun-ity. An all-party apology over the Chinese head tax fell apart last March when news broke about a controversial ethnic outreach strategy.

The strategy suggested for-

mal apologies in the legislature to ethnic communities for his-toric wrongs could result in quick wins at the ballot box.

But work has begun again on an new apology, with the Ministry of International Trade announcing it will host com-munity forums to discuss the wording and delivery, as well as legacy efforts.

The first forum will take

place in Kamloops in December, and will be followed by January events in Vancouver, Kelowna, Richmond, Prince George, as well as a joint meeting in Burnaby-Coquitlam.

Canada started charging a head tax in the late 1800s to dis-courage Chinese immigration, the B.C. government supported it and even accepted federal pay-ments.

Charles (Chuck) Sidney Tull Sr.

September 13, 1945 - November 24, 2013

After a very brief illness, Chuck passed away very peacefully November 24, 2013, in the presence of his children at the Cranbrook Regional Hospital.

Chuck will be lovingly remembered by his children, Tracey, Cheryl (Darren), Charles Jr. (Bonnie), and Valerie (Darren). His fourteen grandchildren and two great-grandsons. He is also survived by his four sisters, Emily, Pauline, Ruth, Judy and their families.

Chuck was pre-deceased by the mother of his children, Agnes and a daughter, Sandra. He will also be missed greatly by his extended families in Wasa, B.C.

He lived and worked in the East Kootenay for many years and made many great friends. Chuck had a passion for the outdoors and you could always find him out fishing or hunting.

We will be having a Celebration of Life at the Wasa Community Hall, Monday, December 2, 2013 at 1:00 p.m.

B y G r e G N e s t e r o f fNelson Star

Local literary agent Morty Mint is expanding into self-pub-lishing — but not the traditional kind. Mint’s agency, whose Kootenay clients include Anne DeGrace, Holley Rubinsky, and Cindi Sand-Eveland, will be the first in Canada acting for authors of e-books and print-on-demand works.

“I’m feeling like a kid again,” the industry veteran says. “I’m having an absolute ball learning all of this. I think the potential is awesome.”

Before moving to Nelson in 2004, Mint’s long publishing career took him to the top of Penguin Canada, where in six years he increased sales fivefold. He also had his own publish-ing firm and distributed books that sold millions, like the Guinness Book of Records and Ripley’s Believe it or Not!

All along he’s been a staunch advocate for Canadian auth-ors and books — and in recent years, a benefactor to the Kootenay literary scene.

As part of his latest venture, Mint will match authors with editors and cover designers, and help them with marketing. But on top of that he has an arrangement with eBOUND Canada, a non-profit wing of the Association of Canadian Publishers, giving his clients a leg up on the digital market-place.

As with the rest of his business, he takes a 15 per cent commission.

“I want to work with writers and help them help them-selves,” he says. “Opportunities for authors are dwindling in terms of where they can get published in Canada. A great many are looking at self-publishing and doing it on their own.”

With recent bankruptcies and mergers in the Canadian publishing industry, Mint expects fewer new titles in print. However, he predicts tremendous growth in electronic self-publishing, noting that e-books already account for up to 25 per cent of Simon & Schuster‘s US sales.

It doesn’t hurt that e-books are a lot cheaper to produce than their print counterparts. (Mint points to one author who spent $22,000 self-publishing through an Ottawa company.)

He’s not abandoning the business of finding publishers for manuscripts, nor is he going to be less choosy about who he takes on. “I’m going to use the same selective judgment. Will I accept everybody? No.”

Mint already has some writers and titles in mind, including one he couldn’t sell to a publisher. In addition to new works, he says e-publishing is a good way to resurrect out-of-print books whose rights have reverted to the author.

Once he accepts a writer, he’ll work with them to decide if a given manuscript is better suited to seeking a publisher or self-publishing as an e-book and print-on-demand. Authors determined to self-publish in larger quantities he’ll steer elsewhere.

Mint says some self-published authors might not see the benefit to having an agent, but others find navigating all the

steps by themselves overwhelming. Furthermore, individual writers won’t be able to access eBOUND.

“Authors want to do it on their own, but the time and energy [required] is crazy,” Mint says. “I don’t want to be a publisher or a distributor in the conventional sense. I want to continue to be an agent.”

While he’s embraced electronic publishing, Mint admits he’s still a books-and-mortar kind of guy. He has them all over his house — both the ones he reads and the ones he distrib-utes. “The only things I read electronically are manuscripts at night on the iPad before I fall asleep. But boy, the world is changing.”

t H e A s s o C I A t e D P r e s sNEW YORK - A handwritten work-

ing manuscript of Bruce Springsteen’s 1975 hit “Born to Run” will be offered at auction on Dec. 5, with a pre-sale estimate of $70,000 to $100,000, Sotheby’s said Wednesday.

The seller was not revealed. The auction house said the document used to be in the collection of Springsteen’s former manager, Mike Appel.

Sotheby’s said most of the lines in this 1974 version, written in Long Branch, N.J., are apparently unpub-lished and unrecorded, but the manu-

script does include “a nearly perfected chorus.”

Springsteen’s thought process, writ-ten in blue ink on an 8 1/2-by-11 sheet of ruled notepaper, looks like this:

“This town’ll rip the (out your) bones from yourback / it’s a suicide trap (rap) (it’s a trap to catchthe young) your dead unless / you get out (we gotto) while your young so (come on! / with) take myhand cause tramps / like us baby we were born to run.”

“The imagery and tone are constant from the present manuscript to the final song,” the auctioneer said.

There are also some words in the margins: “Wild” and “Angels” and a word that looks like “velocity,” with the letter “t” in Springsteen’s curlicue cursive.

“Although Springsteen is known to have an intensive drafting process, few manuscripts of ‘Born to Run’ are avail-able, with the present example being one of only two identified that include the most famous lines in the song,” Sotheby’s said.

The document will be part of a Manhattan sale of fine books and manuscripts.

t H e A s s o C I A t e D P r e s sThis year’s “Arab Idol” winner, Mohammed

Assaf, who grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp in Gaza, said Tuesday he wants to give hope to the nearly 5 million Palestinian refu-gees and tell them nothing is impossible.

The 24-year-old singer said as the first Arab goodwill ambassador for youth for the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees he feels “the load of responsibility” for speaking on behalf of young Palestinians.

“I want to do something ... for the cause of my country, for the cause of my people,” he said, “and I want to make them feel there is hope, no matter how hard the conditions of life and the obstacles.”

Assaf came to New York to participate in events related to the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People and appeared in a U.N. concert Monday night with Palestinian vocalist and flutist Nai Barghouti. When he sang his signature anthem to Palestinian nationalism, “Raise the Kaffiyeh,” many in the audience got to their feet and started dancing.

The singer with a silky voice, who grew up in Gaza’s Khan Younis refugee camp, almost didn’t get to compete in “American Idol.” He had to plead with Hamas to let him leave Gaza, he said, then bribe Egyptian border guards to let him enter the country. A fellow Palestinian who had heard him sing gave up his slot during the audition phase because he believed Assaf had a better voice and a better chance at winning.

Winning the “Arab Idol” competition gave Assaf a record deal, and while in the U.S. he has been promoting his first album.

Assaf said he wants to go back to Gaza soon to see his parents who were unable to get visas to travel to the U.S. to see him perform at the U.N. - “to see the place that I got to.”

SUBMITTEDROSSLAND –The

Ministry of Forests Recreation Sites and Trails Branch has given the com-munity one year in which to create a management plan for

the proposed Nancy Greene Recreation site. Final approval of the Recreation Site is contingent on the community and the Ministry coming to agreement on the plan.

An initial public workshop was held on Oct. 29 to share infor-mation and examine the issues relating to the Recreation Site.

A second follow-up workshop will be held on Dec. 3, at 7 p.m. in the Rossland Miners’ Hall, 1765 Columbia Avenue in Rossland.

At the Dec. 3 work-shop, the results of the Oct. 29 work-shop, and the District Recreation Officer’s responses, will be considered. The par-ticipants will then be invited to brainstorm what an outline of an acceptable plan for the Recreation Site might look like, and what would be the most effective process and group to carry the planning work forward.

Immediately after the public work-shop, the Friends of the Rossland Range Society will hold its Annual General Meeting in the Miners’ Hall. The public is welcome to attend.

Background that will be useful to par-ticipants at the Dec.

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks netted three second-period goals then shut the door in the third as they skated to a 4-2 vic-tory over the Grand Forks Border Bruins Tuesday night in KIJHL action at the Beaver Valley Arena.

Jacob Boyczuk scored what proved to be the win-ner at 14:29 scooping up a Ryan Edwards pass and firing it low between the pads of Bruins goalie Kai McDonald to make it 3-1 Hawks.

Despite the win, Nitehawks coach Terry Jones was not as delighted as one would expect after beating their fourth-place Neil Murdoch division rival.

“I think it’s a step in the right direction, but there are still a lot of things that need to be improved and fixed up,” said Jones after the game. “Too many long shifts, not many finished checks, the kind of things we view as typical Nitehawk hockey we’re not doing a lot of those things.”

The Hawks are com-ing off a 6-1 road-loss to Osoyoos last weekend, and while they remain entrenched in second spot in the Neil Murdoch div-

ision, a consistent collect-ive effort or rather, a lack of it, is a growing concern.

“I’m pretty unhappy right now where we are as a team. I think on paper we’re good, but we haven’t quite bought into the whole team thing, we’ve got a lot of individuals. We have to lose the individual stuff and become a team more.”

The Nitehawks opened the scoring when 16-year-old Fruitvale native Kyle Hope jumped on a rebound from an Archie Mckinnon point shot and wired it by McDonald at 16:34.

However, the Border Bruins would reply before the first period was out, when Dakota Kittle took a neat pass from Connor Gross and fired it over the glove of Hawks netminder Grayson Sharpe.

The Hawks took the lead early in the second when Dallas Calvin netted his 18th goal of the sea-son firing a point shot by a screened McDonald on the power play, to set up Boyczuk’s winner two min-utes later.

The Bruins would cut the lead to one when Mitchell Pearson sent a quick pass from behind the net to Franco Colapaola who one-timed it by Sharpe

at 3:13.But Beaver Valley would

restore the two-goal lead when defenceman Sheldon Hubbard and Boyczuk combined to send a streak-ing Ryan Edwards down the left-side. Edwards drove to the net and roofed it off the crossbar from an impos-sible angle with 49 seconds to play in the middle frame to round out the scoring.

Hubbard has been a key

addition this year on the back end for the Hawks, playing physically, he moves the puck well and contributes when given the opportunity.

“I like to jump up into the play as much as I can, be physical too, and get the guys riled up and what not,” said Hubbard. “But yeah, when I can jump up into the play, I’ll jump in and help out as much as I

possibly can.” McKinnon, meanwhile

counted three assists for the Nitehawks in the win. The Hawks captain has yet to score a goal but has 17 assists in 18 games. Edwards was also huge with a goal and two assists on the night.

Unsung Hawks that flew under the wire but were nevertheless impres-sive were guys like Russell

Mortlock who counted an assist and was relentless in driving to the net and dish-ing out punishing checks.

The tandem of Mitch Foyle and Keanan Patershuk also generated numerous scoring chances with Foyle hitting the post twice, and getting robbed by a quick glove save late in the third after a pretty set up from Patershuk.

B y T i m e s C o n T r i B u T o rAnother week in the Kootenay

Savings Super League curled to some nail-biting finishes at the Trail Curling Club.

Maglio Mens and Brost Autoworx were tied 4-4 after seven ends, with Brost inching toward the finish with single steals in the eighth and ninth to be two up coming home without the ham-mer. But Brost couldn’t get that perfect guard in the 10th as skip Russ Beauchamp made a delicate come around tap for two and a 6-6 tie.

Team Albo and Team Fines also ended up in a tie, but with a lot more action. After Albo opened

with a deuce, Fines capitalized on the swingy ice to put up a four then stole one to take an early 5-2 lead. The teams traded deuces, then Albo got aggressive stealing the seventh, eighth and ninth to be up two coming home. But skip Ken Fines, just like Russ, made the perfect last shot for two and a 9-9 tie.

Rellish Transport, with intern skip Rich Faunt, started fast against Maglio Ladies to be up 6-0 after three, But Skip Rose Beauchamp righted her ship to score in the next three ends to close the gap to 6-4 after six. Rellish Transport jumped back out with a three, then stole the 8th, forcing Maglio Ladies

to shake for the Rellish win.Team Nichol, with third Garry

Beaudry at the helm battled Team Ferguson in an exciting back and forth match.

Tied 6-6 after six, Team Ferguson took a deuce in the seventh, and looked to put the game away with four buried in the eighth when Beaudry, throwing last rock, came through the tiniest of ports to hit and roll to the four foot for one to keep his team alive. Ferguson then stomped on that comeback with a three in the ninth and an 11-7 win.

The top two teams, Ferguson and Rellish, go head-to-head tonight in Kootenay Savings Super League at 7 p.m.

Red takes global honourss u B m i T T e d

The World Snow Awards recognized recent renovations to Red Mountain Resort by honouring the Rossland ski hill with Most Improved North American Resort Award as well as the global Best Upcoming Resort Award.

“The World Snow Awards recognize outstanding service to ski and snowboard consumers across categories covering resorts, travel, retail, equipment and technology.” said Henry Druce, Editor of Telegraph Ski and Snowboard Magazine, and Chair of the judging committee, in a release.

Red Mountain Resort took home the Most Improved North American Resort award “based on the significant increases in accessible terrain, and ultimately on the experi-ence for the consumer,” commented Tim Holmes, spokesman for of the World Snow Awards.

Red Mountain’s massive new expansion of more than 997 acres on Grey Mountain is set to open this winter and has helped elevate the status and visibility of this un-crowded, world-class resort.

Award winners were chosen by a panel of industry experts.

FROM PAGE 11“I thought we played really well,”

said Foyle who has five goals and nine assists. “We worked the puck down low good, and in the corner we were win-ning battles, and Keanan being physic-al helps a lot too.”

The former Trail Smoke Eater says he is happy with his decision to join the Nitehawks earlier this season and is confident his offensive chances will translate into more goals.

“I think I just have to be patient, keep working hard, and things will come.”

The good play of Foyle also did not go unnoticed by the Hawks’ coach.

“I think Mitch’s game tonight was one of his best games of the year,” said Jones. “He was fly-ing, he made a lot of intelligent plays, and that’s the kind of play we expect.”

However, the Nitehawks need to prove they are among the league’s elite and, as the season wears on, Jones will continue the process of get-ting talented players (and Hawk fans) to buy into the team concept.

“We are trying to find balance,” said Jones. “We understand that in order to win we have to

have four lines in play, that can contrib-ute and you can trust defensively, because the playoffs in our league is a grind and if you rely on just one or two guys no matter if they’re the talent of Edwards or Calvin you’re not going to win. You have to have everybody that can do it . . . when we build our team we try to develop a unit, a whole cohesive team that every-body can contribute and make it happen for us.”

The Bruins were without leading scorer Jackson Purvis, and goaltender Dominic Stadnyk who was injured in a game against Nelson Saturday, in which

forward Max Newton came on and played two periods in relief because of a suspension to McDonald. Newton stopped 32 shots in the 6-3 loss. The Hawks were also humbled by injury to regulars Sam Barker and Sam Swanson, and inserting APs Spencer McLean and Ross Armour from the Major Midget Kootenay Ice into the lineup.

The Nitehawks outshot the Border Bruins 39-34.

Beaver Valley is on the road for the next two weeks with this weekend’s games in Golden and Columbia Valley.

The Nitehawks next home game goes Sunday, Dec. 8 when they play Grand Forks at 1 p.m. at the Beaver Valley Arena.

Dear Annie: I have been with the same woman for six years. Now she has asked me to marry her. We get along terrifically, but when it comes to bedtime, there is no closeness. She says she can’t cuddle with me because she’s been hurt so many times in the past. We sleep with her three big dogs in between us.

This doesn’t seem fair to me. If you’re in love, isn’t it only natural to want to hold and cuddle the one you marry? I’m ter-rified of making the wrong choice. Please help. -- No Cuddles in California

Dear California: Not everyone likes to cuddle, but someone who puts three dogs between you in bed isn’t even trying. More importantly, you need to be compatible on this issue. If your girl-friend has been so hurt in the past that she cannot show affection, suggest that she get

counseling. Otherwise, we don’t recommend you spend the rest of your life wishing things were different with your partner. And should you decide she’s not the one, please have the decency to tell her so you both can move on.

Dear Annie: I would like to offer a pos-sible solution to “No Hallmark,” whose sis-ter makes cards that are a work of art and need to be displayed. Now she’s inundated with lovely cards and doesn’t know what to do with them.

I have a dear friend who has been making such cards for more than 20 years. I con-

sider them an exten-sion of her personality and spirit. For a long time, I saved the cards in a box. Recently, I took them out, selected a few of my favorites and had them cropped, matted and framed in a collage that I hung in my home office. Whenever I see it, I smile and remember happy times in our friendship.

My friend sends me new cards every year. I display them temporar-ily and then put them into the box. Sometime in the future, I will once again go through the process of having my favorites framed and hung in a space that needs brighten-ing somewhere in my home.

When my friend found out what I had done, it sent her over the moon with happi-ness -- the same way her thoughtfulness in creating and sending the cards makes me feel. -- Lucky Recipient

Dear Lucky: We

received several sug-gestions from read-ers who came up with ways to preserve these artistic cards without feeling overwhelmed. Read on:

From New York: I am a card maker. I hope the people to whom I send my works of art feel the love and good wishes glued and stamped on that card stock. Here is another option for what to do with the cards after the recipient has finished enjoying them: Offer to give them back to the sender. I keep a scrap-book of my art and often look back at pre-vious work to get ideas for new cards. I cer-tainly would take my cards back. Perhaps No Hallmark’s sister will, too. I bet she would be touched by the fact that the cards are still around after all these years.

Sierra Vista, Ariz: “No Hallmark” could donate those cards to a charity, such as St. Jude’s Children’s

Ranch (100 St. Jude’s Blvd., Boulder City, NV 89005). The Ranch cares for children from abusive homes, and the kids earn money by recycling used cards into new ones and sell-ing them.

California: “No Hallmark” could scan

those beautiful cards and save them digital-ly. That way, she keeps the artwork and sen-timents, but doesn’t have to store the physi-cal paper. And she also could easily share them with others. She could even make a virtual album.

Louisville: My moth-er takes cards that she really likes and glues the front to a plain gift bag so the card contin-ues “giving its gift.” I liked the idea enough to start doing it myself.

Leisure

For Friday, Nov. 29, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although your focus is on shared property, taxes, debt, insurance matters and inheritances, this is a poor day to act. Wait until tomor-row to make these decisions. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A handful of planets oppose you right now, creat-ing stress for close friend-ships and partnerships. Your best option is to be patient with everyone. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Delays, mistakes and errors at work are frustrat-ing. If there’s nothing you can do to change things, you have to accept them. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a playful, creative day, especially for artists, teachers and those in sports. Give your imagination free rein to come up with new ideas.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Home, family and domes-tic matters continue to be a top priority. Many of you will deal with things from the past or talk to relatives you haven’t seen in a while. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Check cars, bikes and trucks to make sure they’re in working order, because delays due to transportation snafus are likely at this time. Do it. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Stay in touch with your bank account, because errors are likely. This is a poor day to make important financial decisions; it’s also a poor day to shop for any-thing except food. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a time when impor-tant people and favorable circumstances are attracted to you. Nevertheless, today is a shaky day. Just tread water.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Start to make plans for what you want your new personal year (birthday to birthday) to be all about. You like to make goals, because you are a future-oriented person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Like Sagittarius (but for different reasons), this is a good time for you to think of your goals. Test ideas today,

but commit to nothing until tomorrow. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You continue to look favorable to people in authority, which is why you might be asked to take on increased responsibilities. Fear not, you won’t have to do anything extra to dazzle them. You have great light-ing!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because you’re eager to expand your world, try to learn something new and different today. At least trav-el somewhere or go some-place you’ve never been before. YOU BORN TODAY Many of you are influential because you provoke others to think or see things in a new light. You enjoy social interaction with others.

Although you are not ambi-tious, your intense focus on your daily life and projects often blossoms into some-thing bigger than you envi-sioned -- something that touches others. This year is the beginning of a fresh new cycle. Open any door! Birthdate of: Lauren German, actress; C.S. Lewis, author; Garry Shandling, comedian/actor. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
