A local Sikh leader has expressed shock and dis-may at the death of one the community’s most respected elders.

Jagdev Singh Jawanda, 85, died in a deliberately set house fire on Jan. 7. William Edward Mar-ion, 49, a tenant in the house, has been charged with arson. He faces manslaughter and other criminal charges in con-nection with the early-morning blaze.

Meanwhile members of the local Guru Gobind Singh Temple try to come to terms with their loss.

“We are shocked at the news,” said Nach-hattar (Nick) Singh Cha-hal, treasurer of Guru Gobind Singh Temple Assocation. “It is a ter-rible incident involving Mr. Jawanda. We miss him very much.”

He says members of the temple will be fol-lowing any related court case or other legal pro-ceedings.

“He was very active in the Sikh temple, very educated about Sikhism and very much dedi-cated to this temple.

“He was a past president. Actually it was his intention to put his name for-ward as president in a few months when our present board is dissolved. He was very determined to be president again.”

Jawanda, a retired math teacher, was polite and well-liked, he said.

“He was very nice, a gentleman and a good teacher. He taught at Duchess Park school in Prince George and also moved to McBride to teach before he retired.”

Chahal describes Jawanda as active, hardworking and ambitious. The house which was torched last weekend was built on land bought many years ago as an investment, he said.

“It used to be an old trailer park,” said Chahal. “He bought the trailer park, then subdivided the land into residential lots and built his house on one of them. He was a good businessman.”

Chahal says Jawanda immigrated from India in the 1960s.

“He’s been here a long time. His wife passed away a few years ago. He has five children: two sons, one in Prince George, one in Quesnel, and I believe his three daughters live in the Lower Mainland. They are all very well educated and successful.”

Funeral services for Jawanda take place at Ass-man’s Funeral Chapel, 1908 Queensway starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Follow-ing the church service and cremation, there will be a memorial service at the Guru Gobind Singh Temple.

“We are expecting a very large attendance,” said Cha-hal.

Reached at his home in Kelowna, Sohan Singh Khangura, a retired teacher, told the Free Press Thursday about Jawanda, his longtime friend.

“He was a good man,” said Khangura. “I had him and his brother in my home when they first came to Canada in 1965. I picked them up from the airport. Mr. Jawanda was principal of a school in the Punjab. He had his Masters degree and he believed very strongly in education. Two of his daugh-ters are medical doctors, his son in Quesnel is a dentist and his other son in Prince

George is a teacher.” Khangura’s cousin, Rajinder Singh

Khangura, says he heard that Jawanda managed to come out of his burning house Jan. 7 but returned to retrieve a religious statue that was important to him.

“My understanding is there was already heavy smoke in the house when Mr. Jawanda went back in.

“It is very sad.”

Premier Christy Clark at the B.C. Natural Resource Forum Thursday.

DELYNDA [email protected]

There will be 300 steady well-paying jobs in the Smithers area over the next nine years, security for 230 existing jobs and 70 new ones, following an announcement by Premier Christy Clark that Huckleberry Mines was given the green light for its expansion.

“The North really is the beating heart of our economy,” Clark said at a press confer-ence Thursday prior to delivering the keynote address to the ninth annual B.C. Resource Forum.

The expansion will begin in 2012 and the mine will pay about $254.4 million in wages and benefits to its employees over its lifetime. Another $119 million will be spent on new acquisitions and $82 million will go towards dam construction.

The project expansion, according to Minoru Yamaguchi, president and CEO of the Huckle-berry Mine, is the result of the mine, the Ches-latta Carrier Nation and the province working together.

“We believe this expansion is a powerful example of how to get things done in B.C.,” Yamaguchi said.

“They understand the importance of a job and supporting your family,” Clark said of the Cheslatta Carrier Nation.

Chief Richard Peters said the relationship between the nation and the mine had basically gone nowhere in the past, however they com-mitted last year to work on that relationship, and this expansion is the fruit of that labour.

Clark added the announcement is proof that the B.C. Jobs Plan, which promised nine expan-sions and eight new mine openings were prom-ised by 2015, is already working.

“It’s an ambitious goal, and this is part of meeting that goal,” she said.

Day wants industry to tell its storiesFormer federal minister says few poeple know about good work being done

Stockwell Day, former minister responsible for international trade, issued several challenges to some of the groups involved in the growing trade poten-tial in emerging markets in Asia.

He encouraged industry leaders to work harder to get their story out in the public.

There have been huge changes over the years, he said, in everything from safety practices to extrac-tion methods. The environ-ment is cared for and is not only left pristine, but on occasion left in better shape than it was prior to extraction.

“In terms of restora-tion, we have changed so much so that there is a remarkable story to tell,” he told the crowd at the ninth annual B.C. Natural Resource Forum in Prince George Wednesday. “You have to get that story out in a stronger, better way.”

It’s up to industry, he said, to broadcast all the changes and improvements that have been made over the years.

The media, he said, is very competitive, with out-lets trying to get the atten-tion of audiences, wanting to be watched, listened to or read. And though you don’t garner that audience by being boring, he said the facts don’t have to be dull and he challenged media to

be factual and transparent. Politicians and elected

officials, he said, need to be aware of the effect of spending as well as govern-ment policies.

“You raise taxes and you drive out innovation,” he said.

A common-sense

approach to policies, like combining provincial and federal environmental pro-cesses, might alleviate some of the waiting time placed on projects, he said.

For example, it took sev-eral years for one mining venture to go through all of the reviews and processes

before work could com-mence.

“They have to watch pol-icies on spending and make sure the regulation process is common sense,” he said.

No one wants to be accused of not caring about the environment, he added. In fact, he said, many poli-

ticians fear streamlining processes, then winding up marked with that sort of label. However, Day said he wasn’t talking about cutting corners, just cutting unnecessary red tape.

He challenged the pub-lic to understand that just because something is

reported doesn’t mean it’s true.

He used a meeting in the north as an example, where one member of the public claimed a pipeline would stop caribou from mating. The comment was reported by media.

Day said there are many opportunities for Canada in the Asia-Pacific markets. In China alone, over the next five years 85 million homes will be needed. In India, 200 cities will be needed.

The growth is indicative of the needs of a middle class that is expanding exponentially.

“It’s the most fantastic story in modern history The positive growth of the middle class in those two countries alone is phenom-enal. You folks have an idea of the resources required to build 200 cities. Canada has those resources,” he said.

It also has stability, human rights, freedom of education and religion, and a free media.

However, if Canada lays a field of unreasonable pro-cesses between what those markets need and the natu-ral resources this country has, those market needs will be filled elsewhere, and Canada’s social programs will dry up and education will suffer.

In closing, Day pointed out that, if the processes in place now were in place in the 1800s, then the Cana-dian National Railway uniting the country would never have been built.

Stockwell Day, former minister responsible for international trade, put several challenges before the audience during his speech at the Natural Resource Forum Wednesday.

Getting the word out to industry about new technology netted the Carbon Offset Aggre-gation Cooperative two awards Wednes-day at the Northern British Columbia Busi-

ness and Technology Awards.

“We got the first award,” said CEO George Stedeford, “and we got the last award, so it was a wonderful night.”

The group, which has come up with new technology to allow

industries such as log-ging companies to find ways to reduce their carbon emissions, won for technology provider of the year as well as for technology and industry news-maker of the year.

“We were so hon-oured and humbled to

receive the awards,” Stedeford said. “The profile of the news-maker award, in par-ticular, is so large. More people will find out about the technol-ogy we have.

“We feel we have technology that will fully assist anyone in the province and the world who can make use of it.”

Last year marked the first year the co-operative installed its new software in vehicles, and they are continuing to expand the membership in the co-op.

“Right now, we’re halfway through an install with Gulbran-son Logging,” Sted-eford said. “We have to go to where the machines are, because there’s no way they can bring their trucks in from the woods

where they’re work-ing.”

Even travelling to the site doesn’t give them much time to get the vehicles equipped.

“We get the vehicles Friday evening and they have to be ready to go by Sunday eve-ning.”

Considering the current Gulbranson camp is at German-son Landing, which is west of Fort St. James, it’s clear the ability of the co-op to go to the company is impor-tant.

“The next thing we’ll be doing out there is an awareness session with the oper-ators,” Stedeford said. “It’s good to do it as a group because we find there’s a better chance of questions coming up over things they’re not sure about with the new systems.”

Serrapeptase digests non-living tissue, blood clots, cysts, arterial plaque and infl ammation in all forms. The late German physician, Dr. Hans Nieper, used Serrapeptase to treat arterial blockage in his coronary patients. Serrapeptase protects against stroke and is reportedly more effective and quicker than EDTA chelation treatments in removing arterial plaque. He also reports that Serrapeptase dissolves blood clots and causes varicose veins to shrink or diminish.

Serrapeptase is thought to work in three ways:• It may reduce infl ammation by thinning the fl uids

formed from injury, and facilitating the fl uid’s drainage. This in turn, also speeds tissue repair.

• It may help alleviate pain by inhibiting the release of pain-inducing amines called bradykinin.

• It may enhance cardiovascular health by breaking down the protein by-products of blood coagulation called fi brin. This could enable the dissolution of atherosclerotic plaques without causing any harm to the inside of the arteries.

Regardless of whether Serrapeptase is used for infl ammatory diseases or to prevent plaque build up on the arteries, it is well-tolerated. Due to its lack of side effects and anti-infl ammatory capabilities, Serrapeptase is a logical choice to replace harmful NSAIDs.

Jock Finlayson, exec-utive vice president and chief policy offi-cer, Business Council of B.C., is predicting the economic growth in Canada will be weaker in 2012 than

in 2011.Finlayson spoke

about the global and local economy during the Natural Resource Forum Wednesday. He said, currently the eco-nomic environment is turbulent with a lot of drama in the Euro zone. Those problems

reached a crescendo in autumn, he added, and the likelihood is that area is heading into a recession.

The U.S. is doing bet-ter, which is encour-aging news locally, however it, like most other countries, is still struggling.

The global economy is still growing, but slowly.

The emerging mar-kets are doing better, though China’s econ-omy is slowing down somewhat, how-ever it is still grow-ing far more rapidly than elsewhere in the world. Japan is recov-ering from the natural disaster that country suffered.

The positive news, he said, is for those interested in borrow-ing right now.

“If you are a bor-rower, you will benefit

from very low interest rates,” he said.

Debt, including household and cor-

porate, is one of the core issues facing the world economy today. The cost of govern-ment borrowing is tre-mendously divergent. Greece is at 30 per cent, an amount Fin-layson said is unsus-tainable. A number of other countries also have punishing rates. Conversely, Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. are at two per cent.

“So investors are lined up around the block,” he said. “When the rates march back up to four or five per cent you will know we are back to normal.”

Many onlookers have speculated as to

why the Euro zone hasn’t come together to deal with their issues, understanding the key to a solution would lie with Ger-many, Finlayson said. However, he added, the chancellor of Ger-many has made it clear she doesn’t want her country to come to the table and under-write a debt caused by fiscal irresponsibility in other countries.

The outlook for the U.S. in 2012 will be muted, first because American households are de-leveraging and second because the woes in Europe will spill over into that

country. There will be growing fiscal auster-ity though corporate America is in great shape, with two tril-lion in cash to invest, however the environ-ment is missing for them to take risks at the moment.

The job crisis in the U.S. is the worst since the Second World War, with 15 per cent of the population effec-tively unemployed. The unrest in that country is all signs of the stress and tension in the labour market, but things are finally beginning to thaw out.

The net worth of houses has decreased, and in fact there has been an epic slump in real estate, some-thing which was not mirrored in Canada. Incomes have fallen seven per cent since 1999, combined with a 20 per cent drop in net worth since that year, affecting household well-being.

In Canada, the real GDP is a bit weaker but there will be some improvement by 2013.

“We are not in reces-sion. We are holding our own,” he said.

The province is doing better than the national average.

With continued growth in Asia far outpacing growth in Europe, North Amer-ica and Japan, emerg-ing markets have a decisive strategic advantage going into the future.

“China’s economy surpasses the U.S. in economic size,” Fin-layson said.

In fact, over the next four decades it is expected growth for emerging markets will occur at between 300 and 700 per cent, compared to about 80 per cent in the U.S.

“Resources are in a strong demand glob-ally. The rise of Asia is already very evident in B.C,” he said.

Finlayson doesn’t see global growth soonBusiness Council executive says it’s a good time to be a borrower, thoughDELYNDA [email protected]


Jock Finlayson, executive vice president and chief policy officer of the Business Council of BC, was the keynote speaker during lunch at the Natural Resource Forum Wednesday.

Amid forecasts for significant economic development fueled by natural resource projects, the addition of engineering pro-grams in northern B.C. are seen to be critical

to the region’s future development.

This was a message delivered Wednesday by UNBC President Dr. George Iwama to attendees at the BC Natural Resource

Forum in Prince George. Likening the need for engineering specialists to the cre-ation of the Northern Medical Program, Iwama emphasized that locally educated

engineers are central to realizing economic development opportu-nities in ways that are appropriate to regional communities.

“The engineering community has long expressed the need for more engineers in northern B.C. and the current shortfall is esti-mated to be as many as 500,” said Iwama. “UNBC has a tradi-tion of working with governments, com-munities, and indus-try to address regional needs for highly quali-fied personnel. The Natural Resource Forum provides the ideal venue for pro-viding an update on our plans in relation to economic activity in the region.”

UNBC currently offers a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Environmen-tal Engineering in part-nership with UBC. The university’s Board and Senate, however, have approved the addition of new majors in Civil and Mechanical Engi-neering, once fund-

ing is provided. The university has been exploring the possibil-ity of basing teaching labs at engineering/industrial sites, inte-grating community-based engineering problems throughout the curriculum, and developing specializa-tions in forest/wood products and energy systems.

Expansion of engi-neering education is consistent with the government of B.C.’s Labour Market Out-look for this decade,

he said. The Ministry of Jobs, Tourism, and Innovation predicts that occupations in the natural and applied cciences will have the second-highest rate of growth (behind health occupations) in this decade. In all, slightly more than one million jobs are expected to be created this decade, and more than three-quarters will require a post-secondary cre-dential. Of the four regions predicted to have the greatest growth in employment

in this decade, three are in B.C.’s northern region.

“Our greatest suc-cesses as a university have come when we have worked together with other post-sec-ondary institutions, industry, communi-ties, government, and other public agencies to develop program-ming tailored to the needs and aspirations of the region,” said Iwama. “The expan-sion of engineering will require a similar response.”

The epitome of ignorance is holding absolute opinions based upon few facts and much specula-tion. The human mind has a capacity to leap to all sorts of assumptions and then use those assump-tions to develop their particular view.

The Northern Gateway hearings began this week in Kitimat. Hopefully, when the process is finished, we shall be in the possession of many more facts.

It boggles the mind to hear all the firm opinions held by many. That kind of response is an emotional one.

For those of you who have had that wonderful experience to spend some time in the wilderness, you know what an awesome experience it is. Be that as it may, we have as a society taken away much of that wilderness by log-ging, mining and other endeavours. In the process of doing so, we have provided good incomes for many families, paid for very good heath care, built infrastructure, and done many other things with the economic largesse provided by those activities. We have already made the decision to keep some areas as pristine wilderness and use others areas for liv-ing and economic development.

There are many of us who would like to stop any further growth and development. A selfish posi-tion, but not that uncommon. We temper that with the appreciation that we also have an obligation to allow others to have good jobs and provide tax rev-enue to enhance life for all of us.

The primary objectives of the hearings are to raise questions and seek honest answers. Most of us have

only a little information on which to build a per-sonal opinion. If we close our minds to the project on the basis of emotion rather than facts, we do our-selves and our society a disservice.

Can the pipeline be constructed with the mini-mum disturbance to the areas through which it passes?

What are the risks of a leak or other disaster developing from a failure of the pipe-line?

How would we know if there was a failure in the line? What actions would be taken to limit damage?

Can tankers navigate from Kitimat to the open ocean without any risk? If the unforeseen should happen, what would be the immediate action taken?

There are hundreds more questions that need to be asked and answered.

The hearings must take the time to hear the mul-titude of questions and opinions. There is no such thing as zero risk. Every time we get in our automo-biles, we are at risk. That said, we do want the risks to be very close to negligible.

While job creation from the project is important, the potential tax revenue that would be derived from this project will help fund our many social projects. If we hope to maintain health care, educa-tion and other desirable programs, then the funding must come from somewhere.

It will not be a simple decision, but when it is made it should be a rational one, not an emotional one.

The ninth annual B.C. Natural Resource Forum this week was absolutely wonderful (and not just because local journalists were called on to sit on a media panel).

From Stockwell Day challenging everyone, including the media, to be better, to Jock Finlayson being brutally honest about our economic future, to Kevin Evans clearly demonstrat-ing the need for more training opportunities, to Dr. George Iwama voicing his support for an engineering program at UNBC, the presentations were outstanding.

Regardless of where one sits politically, the speaker’s list for the two-day event was rife with knowledgeable people who are, as often pointed out, world leaders in what they do.

But the real gems are the awards. The showcase highlights some of the most innovative thinking in the world today … and it’s right here in the North.

Imagine fresh strawberries grown right here in Prince George right before Christmas without using soil and the byproduct is fish for your dinner. Yup, Northern Bio-Ponics was a winner.

How about a world leader in reducing carbon emissions from diesel trucks. Yup, the Carbon Offset Aggregation Co-operative took home two awards.

How about a group of companies that worked together to record stories from the elders of a native band. Yup, Environ-mental Dynamics Inc., Jane Young (UNBC), the Prophet River First Nations and Encana were all named on that award.

The list is outstanding and dynamic.Kudos to Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Pat Bell for once

again holding the resource forum. It’s a wonderful opportunity to hear speakers we might not otherwise hear and hear about some truly amazing ventures that are being undertaken right here in the North.

The good news is that eligibility for gaming grants has been expanded. The bad news is the amount available has not.

Adult sports and arts groups, environmental and ani-mal welfare agencies will once again be eligible to apply for grants from the B.C. government’s gambling revenues.

Those groups were made ineligible after the government cut the budget for community grants following the recession of 2008. They can again apply for grants, but the total fund remains at $135 mil-lion, where it was set by Premier Christy Clark last year.

Shortly after taking over as premier, Clark restored $15 million of the $36 million that was cut from the fund, and appointed former Kwantlen University president Skip Triplett to hold hearings around the province.

Clark and Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong released Triplett’s report Wednesday, and promised to keep working on a way to provide multi-year funding for commu-nity groups instead of making them apply every year for grants.

Clark said the financial pressure on the B.C. government made it difficult to maintain the grant budget at $135 million, and did not allow restoring it to its 2008 peak of $156 million.

The province will also increase support for other organizations that have experienced funding cuts in the past three years, including fairs, festivals, youth arts and community service, as well as the B.C. Summer Games, she said.

So, as NDP critic Shane Simpson pointed out, there will be more groups looking for funding from that $135 million.

Storage Wars, the popular A&E reality show, gleefully depicts bare-knuckle capi-talism in its most brutal form.

The stars of the show find opportunity for wealth among the dis-carded items of others and do it better than everyone else. They see value where everyone else sees gar-bage. They go out of their way to hurt their competitors by driving up the bidding and then dropping out during an auction for trash.

There’s gold in them there storage lock-ers, especially for the ones who know how to play the game. The door rolls up and bidders have to stand outside, unable to open a single box. They bid on sight alone, using some thoughtful psychology. A tidy locker was likely owned by someone who cared about their belongings, meaning the

contents are probably worth something. A dusty locker that has been unopened

for decades suggests antiques. Things crammed into garbage bags and thrown in haphazardly means the owner didn’t care about the contents, so it’s prob-ably as worthless as it looks.

But the real stars of the show are the people you never see.

Who are the owners of these storage lockers?

Who walks away from collections of vintage licence plates, golden-age super-hero action figures still in their original boxes, or mint baseball cards, all worth thousands? Who leaves behind three ATVs, a mannequin with a phone built into its body, sunglasses specially made for hens, or a horse-head sculpture covered in gold leaf?

Maybe these owners were rabid con-sumers, acquiring so many valuables

that they had to stow them away, where they were out of sight, out of mind and replaced by new valuables.

Maybe they died and didn’t tell anyone about the great stuff they had stashed away.

Or maybe they were down-on-their-luck folks who threw their stuff in a storage locker and took off somewhere to find work and couldn’t afford to come back and get it later.

Or worse, they didn’t do a change of address, didn’t get the overdue bills for the storage locker and then called or came back months later to find their valuables gone?

Meanwhile, some on-the-ball hustlers were waiting to swoop in, buy those aban-doned treasures for cheap and then sell them for a buck.

On the one hand, I admire the passion and drive of Dave and Darrell and Barry and Jarrod and Brandi, who all make a

pretty decent living dealing with the items left behind by others but on the other hand, I think they’re the funniest, most interesting flock of vultures I’ve ever seen.

But who’s the real vulture?Me, for watching?Can’t help myself.Love the show.It’s garage sales on steroids.A&E’s other popular horrific reality

shows, Hoarders, Intervention and even Dog The Bounty Hunter, are about dam-aged people, their lives destroyed by drugs, crime, poverty and mental illness, but brought safely into our living rooms for our entertainment, under a thin guise of education.

Storage Wars doesn’t bother showing the victims at all, because, in the end, the only thing valuable about them was their stuff.

Their loss is everyone else’s gain.Yup.

Storage Wars reveals our true vulture mentality

Column shows poor attitude to cyclistsEditor:

While I understand that Ms. Pilon’s ‘Life in the Fat Lane’ column is an opinion piece, I am deeply troubled by the attitude and lack of personal responsibil-ity Ms. Pilon shows as a fellow road user.

In her article, Ms. Pilon wags her finger at winter cyclists, shaming them for scaring her as she nearly runs them over on several occasions. She unknow-ingly describes many dangerous aspects of her own driving, while blaming the cyclists for the near accidents. In her own words, she “was sliding through a yellow light on 15th Avenue” and “wait-ing for the heater to defrost the paintings Jack Frost rippled all over my windows.” As a respon-sible driver, Ms Pilon should be reducing her speed on icy days and braking well in advance of the intersections to avoid slid-ing through them. Even more frightening, she should not be driving if she cannot see out of her windows.

Ms. Pilon also demonstrates the most common misconcep-tion drivers have about cyclists. She curses the cyclist for “taking up the middle of the street so as to avoid those nasty ruts,” Ms Pilon, like many, is unaware that,

by law, cyclists are vehicles that have the same rights to the road as motorized traffic. Cyclists must use designated bike lanes and the right hand side of the lane when it is safe to do so, but cyclists are allowed to take the whole lane when a safe alterna-tive is not available. Ms Pilon is also unaware that there are winter tires for bicycles and most winter cyclists use them, and that wearing winter boots to push bicycle pedals is no more dangerous than wearing winter boots to push gas (and brake) pedals.

Ms. Pilon admits to passing the same cyclist every day on her way to work, but fails to recognize that passing the same cyclists every day at the same time likely means that he is also on his way to work. Instead she depicts the cyclists as a leisurely gentlemen causing trouble for the fun of it. I have no doubt that his morning commute is far more challenging and stressful than her own, and that he would take a viable alternative if available. Most winter cyclists simply do not have another means of get-ting to where they need to go. The lack of empathy shown is disheartening.

Finally, Ms. Pilon contributes

to the false culture of fear around cycling that, as a cycling commu-nity, we work very hard to dis-pel. She associates cycling with a death wish and makes much ado of the dangers. Little does she know that there are a mere

65 cyclist fatalities in Canada each year, while a killer such as heart disease accounts for 65,000 fatalities. A hard look at the facts reveals that ‘Life in the Fat Lane’ is far more dangerous than life in the bike lane.

I would urge pedestrians, cyclists and motorists alike to use extra caution and understanding in these especially icy conditions.

The strongest resistance to business planning typically comes from diehard pessimists, who ask, “What good are my three-year financial projec-tions if I step off the curb tomorrow and get hit by a bus?”

That’s a great question that will stop anyone from ever doing a business plan. And it seems logical enough, until you consider that everything great that happens in the world comes about because somebody decided to make an impact on the future.

Truthfully, you might be the most unpredictable element of your business plan. Here are a few of the ways in which you can become the real wildcard in your business plan.

You might not believe you can succeed, which is the kiss of death for any busi-ness. Your lack of belief in your business

assures its failure.You might hate managing people,

which is impossible to know until you try. Business owners need to be skilled at managing several groups of people: employees, customers, suppliers, and cre-ative teams.

After going through all the effort of getting your business

started, you might discover that you really want to work for someone else and not carry the responsibility of owning and running a business.

You might discover that you can’t turn the business off, that you simply worry about it until you burn out.

You might learn that you’re not a sales-person. Not everyone is, but successful business owners are.

As the owner of a business, you might find that the activities that fill your hours

and days – marketing, selling, logistics – are things you really don’t enjoy. This leads to artists who insist on doing all art while ignoring the business. It happens to the technician who gets immersed in his profession and refuses to get out and market his business.

You might learn that you’re hopeless with finances, and that you’re missing some of the necessary knowledge and skills to manage your business – how to prepare a cash flow forecast, how to read an income statement, how to keep records.

You might discover that you’re disor-ganized, and that you dread having to plan your days, weeks and months. Does freedom unleash your creative spirit, or do you self-destruct when faced with an open road?

After getting immersed in your busi-ness, you might discover that you work

too long and too hard for the amount of money you earn. It’s true that many small and micro businesses never get fine tuned to the point of earning a profit; too many evolve into a twisted form of enslavement.

Any business worth its salt will present its owner with many learning opportuni-ties. Each speedbump can be taken as an opportunity to learn and grow, or it can be the roadblock that motivates you to change direction and get a job.

It seems insane to attempt to predict the future, but it seems even more so to accept a life of drudgery in a dead-end job. For those who aspire to improve their worklife by working at something they enjoy, business planning is a great place to start, even if it seems a bit crazy at first.

Talented young perform-ers in Prince George: This could be your chance to shine in a professional the-atre production.

In their upcoming pro-duction of Brighton Beach Memoirs by Neil Simon, Theatre North West has a role to be shared by two girls. The girls must be cred-ible 12-year-olds.

A hilarious and touch-ing portrait of family life, Brighton Beach Memoirs is perhaps Simon’s best play. The role of Laurie is central to the play and offers a rare opportunity for two local young people to work with a cast of professional actors from major centres across Canada.

Opportunities like this can be remarkably reward-ing and represent a valuable educational and mentor-

ing experience for young-sters. The production will be directed by Ted Price, found-ing artistic director of TNW.

“Lots of my favourite productions at TNW have included youngsters from the community. All that enthusiasm and determina-tion is just a joy to see.”

Parents should be aware that the commitment to be a part of Brighton Beach Mem-oirs is substantial. Rehears-als begin on April 2.

Performances run April 19 to May 6 with the possibility of extra performances.

Auditions will be held in February. Parents may obtain an information sheet and audition registration form for their children at Books and Company.

For more information call Theatre North West at 250-563-6969.

Cocktail for a successful jazz concert:

Take five local talents – top singers, musicians, performing artists – put them in a basement room with all their instruments, electrical equipment and song picks, shut the door and wait for the real magic to happen.

Oh, and welcome back-up singer Lynn Brown when she arrives for rehearsals Wednesday night a little behind the others.

The digs belong to keyboard and guitar guru Curtis Abriel. The idea of getting this band together came from writer, and poet Rob Ziegler, who wrote a book about his life as a draft dodger during the Vietnam War. He remembers the days of listening to Bob Dylan music and being inspired by it. So he thought a concert to pay tribute to the man who contrib-uted so much to music culture was fitting.

“Thirty years ago in the U.S., I would listen to Dylan’s music. He had such a range and variety of songs right up to swing and quasi jazz. My wife Darlene (Shatford) is a jazz singer and there are so few jazz musicians left in town. I thought us getting together an eclectic band would be kind of fun and we could give Prince George a different kind of music event.”

He called on The Pucks’ Mur-ray Gable (harmonica, guitars, vocals) who now plays a lot of solo gigs, Abriel and Barry McK-innon (drums), and asked them to join the group.

With Abriel’s song pick skills, they put together enough “jazz-bent” tunes from Dylan’s wealth of music for two 40-minute sets. The band – they have no name yet – is sure the audience will

enjoy the concert and depending on their age, it may even take them back in time.

“People often forget that Bob Dylan was one of the greatest lyricists of the century. He was an incredible talent,” said McKinnon, an award-winning poet, writer and local teacher. The group will perform many of Dylan’s lesser-known songs in the selections.

“These are not the songs that

people will remember from hear-ing them on the radio,” said Shat-ford. “But they’re great songs.”

The song list for the evening includes tunes such as You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go, Mississippi, This Wheel’s on Fire, I Shall Be Released, and many more.

The band plays tribute to music icon Bob Dylan at Artspace on Saturday, Jan. 14. Tickets are $15.


Theatre North West founding artistic director Ted Price and Ben Hirtz, 11, who played Tiny Tim in TNW’s A Christmas Carol, show off props used in the past 15 years of productions with young children. Currently the professional theatre company is casting for the role of two young girls in an upcoming production.

Ever wonder why some talented music artists make it and others don’t?

Often it comes down

to simple self-promo-tion. The songs, lyrics and music style can be outstanding but if no one gets to hear it whether on tour, on the radio or on the Internet, music careers

can be short lived. When they start out,

many artists pay their dues by playing small concerts and venues and getting small paycheques. With advances in technol-

ogy, business or per-sonal ‘branding’ has become easier, and artists can reach more people with their music.

However life on the road or in the record-ing studio takes time and saps energy. That’s when some artists hire an agent or publicist.

Earl Krushelnicki, founder of the Prince George chapter of Blues Underground Network years ago, was impressed from the first time he heard singer guitarist Bran-don Isaak perform.

The musician was already known and well established after 25 years playing in bands like The Twist-ers. Recently, he took his first solo flight with a debut album, Bluesman’s Plea.

Krushelnicki has become Isaak’s agent and manager.

“In today’s enter-tainment world there are thousands upon thousands of very tal-ented performers, and each of them needs to find ways to get noticed. Being from Whitehorse, Brandon is known as Yukon Slim. As part of mak-ing Brandon more recognizable (he’s a redhead), we have emphasized the Yukon persona,” said Krush-

Branding Brandon goes beyond musicTErEsA [email protected]

elnicki. “Waxing his mous-

tache and giving him the appearance of a (Kenny Rogers) ‘gam-bler’ character is all part of that, not only while performing solo but also when he’s performing in a duet or with a band.”

Isaak is starting to add some original songs about the Yukon into his music reper-toire. Versatility is key,

Krushelnicki said. “Being a performer

today, you need to be a total entertainer. You can’t just sing and play guitar. It helps that Brandon is one of the top blues guitarists in Canada.

“In his solo per-formances, he plays guitars, harmonica and foot percussion. Recently, he started playing banjo.”

Another plus – stage presence that comes naturally.

“Brandon is a very creative songwriter. He has the ability to do song improv on stage. It is quite amaz-ing. He can be given some information on a person, then he can write a song for them on the spot. I’ve heard him do it a dozen times and each song is

completely different.”Changing up his

Field Notes is a result of a foray into the for-est for northern artist Annerose Georgeson.

She hopes the new exhibit, on display at Two Rivers Gallery until April 1, will be fertile ground for dis-cussion around regen-eration.

Most of the works, based on imagery from nature, were painted of places close to home and heart.

“I’ve lived in Van-derhoof all my life and I’ve seen the changes in the forests here and all the things that can go wrong with logging, forest fires and pine beetle infestations and then to see the beau-

tiful transformation that takes place with reforestation and see-ing new growth, it’s just amazing. It offers hope.”

Indeed her 26 acrylic on canvas works are colourful representa-tions of all those stages showing black, burnt-out trees, red of pine beetle kill to areas of green for flourishing new growth and blue for a new generation of wild flowers. She uses authentic colours to paint her landscapes.

“Sometimes it looks so ugly (in areas of devastation) but I

always try to see if there is any beauty in it,” she said.

“My mother used to say it’s still the same land, like a woman without her hair. Then you see the new growth coming in and that makes me very optimistic for the future.”

As an artist, Georgeson tries to venture away from her northern home so she avoids the “can’t see the forest for the trees” mindset. The result is a more compelling painting, she says.

“When you see the landscape from a dis-tance, when you step back from it, you actually see it more clearly. The contours, the shape and colours of the land are more evident.”

Georgeson has exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions. She was curator of Red and Blue Beetle Art, a regional exhibition about the impact of the mountain beetle. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts (visual arts) from the University of Vic-toria and has taught art to adults and chil-dren for many years.

Field Notes will be on display until April 1. The event opened Jan. 12 with an artists’ talk from Georgeson, Rodney Konopaki and Rhonda Neufeld. Two Rivers Gallery is located at 725 Civic Plaza. For more infor-mation visit www.tworiversgallery.ca.

Schools help fund Ugandan wellThe leadership

classes at four local secondary schools are putting their money where their marks are.

The classes from College Heights, D.P. Todd, Duchess Park and Kelly Road presented Dr. Chris Opio of the Northern Uganda Development Foundation (NUDF) with a cheque for $2,000 last week.

“This will provide funds to drill a well,” Opio said, “which will provide clean and safe drinking water for about 2,000 people.”

Dave Holmes, the teacher for the Duch-ess Park class, said the schools have worked together on a number of projects in the past.

“One thing we have an interest in is healthy water. This gave us a way to make an inter-national connection with a local angle.”

He said the students had decided to make NUDF one of their beneficiaries, but got even more of an impe-

tus earlier this school year.

“Chris Opio did a presentation for the

students in the fall on the work of the group

and how they help people.”

Students from the leadership classes at College Heights, D.P. Todd, Duchess Park and Kelly Road present Chris Opio of the Northern Uganda Development Fund with a cheque for $2,000 to help with providing wells in the Aftrican country.

Bret Hart isn’t sure if this weekend marks his first trip to Prince George.

“I know we did a tour of B.C. back in 1984,” says the former wrestler, who will be at CN Cen-tre tonight and Saturday for the Cougars’ games against the Leth-bridge Hurricanes. “That was just before I joined WWF (now WWE).”

He laughs.“I can’t remember all the cities

I’ve wrestled in.”Hart was one of the initial

owners of the Calgary Hitmen, a team which took his wrestling nickname and brought it to the ice.

“I was approached by Theo Fleury, Sheldon Kennedy and some other guys, like Joe Sakic. They already had the plans for a junior team in Calgary and wondered if I would like to get involved.

“Theo thought that calling them the Hitmen would be a good idea.”

Hart says the biggest problem they had in the seasons he was involved directly with the club was a simple one.

“We had, I think, 17 people who were in the ownership group. The board meetings were crazy. You had to have so many people there to do anything and it just wasn’t working.”

A few years later, the Calgary Flames came calling, looking to buy the Hitmen.

“I didn’t want out then,” Hart says. “Some of the other owners had lost more money than I had, and they wanted to sell.

“I reluctantly got out, just so I wouldn’t hold the deal up.”

Since then, he says, the Hitmen have been a great franchise.

“I believe the Flames were like a guy in a casino who pulled the lever on a slot machine that someone else had set up to win, but they’ve done a great job with the team.”

Hart still lives in Calgary and is a season-ticket holder for the Hitmen.

“I’ve always been a big fan of hockey and junior hockey in particular,” he says. “I missed the whole World Juniors thing because I was in Hawaii for a couple of weeks.

“They got great support, which didn’t surprise me because Cal-gary is a real hockey town. I kept thinking, ‘Can you imagine how crazy we would go if the Hitmen won the Memorial Cup?’”

Growing up, Hart didn’t get a chance to play organized hockey, something he regrets.

“There was no skating around where I grew up, so I never really played hockey. I played road

hockey but that was about it.”But, like so many other Cana-

dians, Saturday night meant one thing for the Hart family.

“We’d be there every week, watching the game on TV.”

The trip to Prince George, he says, is a little unusual for him.

“I don’t do a lot of these trips, but I do like to do what I can for the game. I know Dean Clark from back when he coached

the Hitmen, and we’re good friends.”

Hart will be at both games at CN Centre this weekend, and while he isn’t sure exactly what he’ll be doing, he knows one thing.

“Dean would never ask me to do something I can’t do. With my concussion problems, I have to be careful any time I’m on the ice.”

Hitman here to see some hockeyFormer co-owner of Calgary WHL squad still a fan of junior gameALLAN [email protected]

Photo submitted

Bret Hart’s nickname may be attached to the Calgary WHL team, but he enjoys junior hock-ey of any sort, and will be in Prince George this weekend for the Coygars’ games against Lethbridge.

Jarryd Ten Vaanholt had only practiced with his new team-mates once, and was already starting to feel right at home in the Coliseum.

“It seems like a great group of guys. It seems like they are all tight knit and basically that’s kind of what you need to have, what it takes to win, so it seems good,” the 20-year-old West Vancouver prod-uct said outside the Prince George Spruce Kings’ dressing room on Wednesday, the morning after he’d been dealt to the team from the Victoria Griz-zlies.

In return, Victoria gets future con-siderations, a deal announced d u r i n g Tu e s d a y ’ s B.C. Hockey L e a g u e trade dead-line day.

Ten Vaan-holt knew a roster shake-up was inev-itable for a Grizzlies team currently out of a playoff position with 18 wins, 21 losses, zero ties and zero overtime defeats (18-21-0-0). As of Tuesday, they were sixth in the eight-team Coastal Confer-ence with 36 points, 10 behind fourth place and the final playoff spot. Once it became clear they were sell-ers, moving a 1991-born player ineligible to return to junior next season made sense.

“We kind of knew everyone was on the wire and just trying to

make the team better next year, so going to Prince George wasn’t a big shock or what-ever,” said Ten Vaan-holt, a second-year for-ward who’s hoping to secure an NCAA Divi-sion 1 scholarship by the end of the season.

Ten Vaanholt is a left-handed shooter listed at 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds. In 97 career BCHL games between the Salmon Arm SilverBacks and Grizzlies, he has 39 goals and 52 assists for 91 points.

A connection not everybody realizes is what made playing in the league’s northern-most market appeal-ing to Ten Vaanholt. He’s close friends with

S p r u c e K i n g s l e a d i n g s c o r e r Paul de Jersey, a 19-year-old for-w a r d who also hails from W e s t Vancou-ver. Both p l a y e r s are prod-

ucts of the Hollyburn Country Club and were also teammates on the SilverBacks last season.

De Jersey leads the BCHL in scoring with 30 goals and 37 assists for 67 points in 36 games. Even during minor hockey play-ing days, Ten Vaanholt knew his friend could turn into a special player.

“When we just play shinny hockey together back home, you can see the skill set that he’s got and it’s just remarkable his hands,

how he can just move the puck around, so he’s definitely capable of putting up a season like his is,” Ten Vaan-holt said. “But it’s still a shock of how well the season is going for him, especially going from the last year. We played together as well in Salmon Arm, and he started putting up real good numbers near the end of the season so I guess he just continued on with that.”

Ten Vaanholt is look-ing forward to his first action with the Spruce Kings, a three-game southern interior road swing this weekend. They visit the Chilli-wack Chiefs tonight, the Penticton Vees on Saturday and Vernon Vipers on Sunday. The Spruce Kings sit third in the eight-team Inte-rior Conference with 19 wins, 13 losses, two ties and three overtime defeats (19-13-2-3).

“I’m very competi-

tive. I hate losing so if we’re ever down you’ll see that,” Ten Vaanholt said.

sECOND DEAL

Also on Tuesday, the Spruce Kings acquired

Zack Rassell from the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Canmore Eagles in exchange for future considerations.

Rassell is a 19-year-old forward from Cal-gary listed at 6-foot-1 and 192 pounds. In three seasons in the AJHL, he recorded 20

goals and 37 assists in 123 games. He was expected to travel to Prince George on Wednesday to join his new team.

“We’re excited to get Zack because he will help strengthen an already strong forward group,”

Spruce Kings gen-eral manager Mike Hawes stated in a press release. “He is a quality player who is good at both ends of the ice and has put up good numbers in the Alberta junior league.”

Maybe a change in divisional opposition will bring different results for the Prince George Cougars.

Riding a five-game losing streak with only two goals scored during that span, players on the offen-sively chal-l e n g e d team are sure hop-ing so.

Tonight they face the Leth-b r i d g e H u r r i -canes. It’s Game 1 of a CN Cen-tre doubleheader, but also the first of five straight games against Central Division opposition, as they head east for a three-game Alberta swing next week. This five-game stretch comes after they played five consecutive games within their own B.C. Division, three meet-ings against the Kam-loops Blazers and two versus the Vancouver Giants.

“We’re very similar teams in the way the seasons have gone and it’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out,” Cougars head coach Dean Clark said of the squad he’s coaching and this

weekend’s visitors.The new year hasn’t

brought positive results to the Cougars. They started 2012 by getting blanked 5-0 in Kamloops on New Year’s Day. Five days later the Blazers skated to a 2-0 tri-umph at CN Centre, the first half of a dou-

bleheader that ended with a 6-1 win for the visitors on Saturday.

W h a t fo l lowed was a Tu e s d a y n i g h t game in Va n c o u -ver and a n o t h e r

shutout for the oppo-sition, a 3-0 victory for the Giants.

This isn’t exactly a new issue for this sea-son’s Cougars. They went through a simi-lar offensive drought in October, when they were blanked in three consecutive games. With 90 goals in 41 games, an average of nearly 2.2, they’re the lowest scoring squad in the 22-team league.

“We already had one of these (offen-sive slumps) earlier in the year and we had certain guys step up,” Cougars defenceman Dan Gibb said. “You have to fill a role you’re probably not

comfortable with, so if that comes from the back end or if we’re going to have to get some of our guys who aren’t as offen-sive minded to start doing that, then we’re going to have to do it. You know it’s just hard work and com-pete, that’s all you need to do to put the puck in the back of the net.”

The Cougars’ last victory came on Dec. 28, a 4-1 win over the Calgary Hitmen, a game which pre-ceded a 6-1 defeat in Vancouver two days later.

The Cougars sport a record of 13 wins, 26 losses, zero overtime setbacks and two shootout defeats (13-26-0-2). With 28 points, they’re second-last in the 10-team Western Conference.

On the ice, the Cou-gars will play against the Hurricanes with-out the services of Brock Hirsche (shoul-der), Shane Pilling (upper body), Lin-den Springer (upper body) and Caleb Belter (upper body).

After hosting the Hurricanes, the Cou-gars will prepare to travel to Edmonton for a game against the Eastern Conference-leading Oil Kings on Wednesday. The trip includes visits to Cal-gary on Jan. 20 and Red Deer on Jan. 21.

“We’ve got our work cut out for us on that trip, but certainly the road earlier in the year was good to us,” Clark said. “We got

to get back to being a better road team than we were coming back from the break.”

DEALsThe Cougars made

two deals on the league’s trade dead-line day on Tuesday.

First they dealt Slo-vak import defence-man Martin Marincin along with a fourth- and seventh-round pick in 2012, and a fourth-round choice in 2013, to the Regina Pats. The deal saw the Cats get Swedish import defenceman Ricard Blidstrand, a first- and second-round pick in 2012 and fifth-round choice in 2013 in return.

Blidstrand played for the Cats on Tues-day night.

“He was a very, very good defender (Tuesday) night for us and did some really good things and was very poised in some situations that you would hope to get from a 19-year-old player,” Clark said.

In a second move, the Cougars dealt the playing rights of for-ward Brett Connolly to the Tri-City Ameri-cans. In return they get a fifth-round pick in 2013 and a pair of conditional selections, a first-rounder in 2013 and second-rounder in 2014. The first- and second-round choices will be granted to the Cougars only if Con-nolly is reassigned to the Americans by the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning.

HOW TO PLAY:

Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3 x 3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.Each 3 x 3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3 x 3 box.

A new year and semester has already started.

Tonight, the PacWest 2011-12 basketball campaign resumes.

At UNBC, both the men’s and women’s teams understand the importance of starting off their 2012 portion of the regular season on the right foot.

The Northern Tim-berwolves welcome the Kwantlen Poly-technic University Eagles and Langara College Falcons to the Northern Sport Centre this weekend. They host the Eagles tonight and Falcons on Saturday evening, with start times set for 6 p.m. for the women and 8 p.m. for the men.

“It’s a long time between the league games from, I guess, the very start of December to now,” UNBC men’s basket-ball head coach Todd Jordan said. “We’ve had a couple of pretty solid weeks of prac-tice here.”

In the nine-team men’s league, the men are 4-2 through six games and, with eight points, are tied with the Camosun College Chargers (4-2), Falcons (4-3) and Douglas Col-lege Royals (4-3) for third place.

With one less defeat, the Northern Timber-wolves and Chargers each have a game in hand on the Falcons and Royals. The top half of the standings is tight, with the league-leading Capilano Uni-versity Blues (5-1) and Vancouver Island Uni-versity Mariners (5-1) only two points ahead of third.

In their latest game action, the Timber-wolves competed in the Wesmen Classic at the University of Win-nipeg from Dec. 28 to 30. They compiled a 1-2 record, their vic-tory a 70-52 triumph over Minot State, an NCAA Division 2 squad. Their losses came against the Bran-don University Bob-cats and University of Manitoba Bisons.

“I think (the tour-nament) kind of kick-started our couple of weeks of practice here,” Jordan said. “Anytime you can go out and play tough road games, those are going to prepare you

for later in the season so we got some good, tough road games against some good competition. I couldn’t be happier with the tournament.”

While Langara is in the top six of the nine-team league and holding down a play-off position, Kwantlen takes a 2-5 record into tonight’s game.

The Timberwolves will hit the court this weekend without the services of third-year post Gabe Auber-tin, on the shelf with a torn calf. Jordan is hopeful he’ll be ready to return to the lineup in a couple of weeks.

On Saturday night, UNBC will reach the midway point of its 16-game schedule. They’ll also have only two more home dates remaining, Feb. 3 against Capilano and Feb. 4 against the Quest University Ker-modes.

WOMENThey sit at the top

of the league, the only team still sporting an undefeated record in the nine-team PacWest women’s division.

On the other hand, UNBC’s opposition

this weekend has as many wins combined as they do. Being 6-0 is nice, but it’s not some-thing Timberwolves head coach Loralyn Murdoch is boasting about.

“We can’t take any team lightly in this conference,” she said. “It’s really important that the standings mean nothing, that we prepare for every game and do our best to play to the best of our capabilities.”

Rookie post Nicole Schlick has been suf-fering post-concussion symptoms and she won’t be in action this weekend. Murdoch couldn’t pinpoint a return on Schlick. The rest of the lineup is healthy.

Like their male counterparts at UNBC, the women fit in games during the PacWest break. They were swept by a Japa-nese national women’s U18 team in an exhibi-tion doubleheader last week, losing 108-77 on Jan. 3 and 109-60 on Jan. 4.

Kwantlen takes a 4-3 record into tonight’s game. With eight points, they’re tied with Quest (4-2) for fourth in the confer-

ence with one more game played. At 2-5, the Falcons are sev-enth.

The Langara roster boasts an offensive threat and seasoned veteran in fifth-year forward Carling Muir. Murdoch calls the Fal-cons a well-coached squad.

“I don’t know as much about Kwantlen. I know they’re young, they’re very, very good three-point shooters.

They’re fast,” Mur-doch said of tonight’s opposition. “Maybe a little different style

of play on the Satur-day compared to the Friday, but it’s going to be important that

we change our focus and are as prepared for them as we are for anyone.”

UNBC takes court for league play againALisTAir [email protected]

UNBC Northern Timberwolves fourth-year guard Joel Rybachuk runs the ball up the floor during a men’s basketball practice on Tuesday at the Northern Sport Centre.

Local women’s team bringsback silver

Two more ends.That’s what Doug Dalziel fig-

ures the junior women’s curling team he coached at the provin-cials in Victoria needed to win the provincial championship.

But they didn’t have those extra ends, and the team of skip Falon Burkitt, third Jessie Sand-erson, second Ashley Sanderson and lead Sydney Gustafson fin-ished second to Kesa Van Osch of Nanaimo.

“Our objective was to make the tiebreaker and see what hap-pened from there,” Dalziel said.

That was exactly what hap-pened. The Burkitt rink won its next two roundrobin games and came to the last draw against Corryn Brown of Kamloops knowing a win would get them into a tiebreaker.

“In the Brown game,” Gustafson said, “I figured we were on a roll.”

Burkitt agreed.“It was easier to communicate as

we played more and got used to each other again.”

That put the local team into the semi-final against the Stephanie Prinse team from Chilliwack.

The final, against Van Osch, was tied 4-4 after seven ends, but the Nanaimo team scored two in the eighth and stole two more in the ninth for an 8-4 win a trip to Napanee, Ont. for the Canadian championships.

The loss didn’t mean just the end of the playoff road for the Burkitt team, it also meant the end of the season for them as a rink.

For Burkitt and Jessie Sanderson, it’s also the end of their junior careers, as

both are 20.

Allan WISHART/Free PressLead Sydney Gustafson, left, and skip Falon Burkitt flank coach Doug Dalziel as they display the silver medals the team won at the provincial junior women’s curling championships on the week-end. Dalziel was named coach of the year for his work with the team, which also included sisters Jessie and Ashley Sanderson from Vancouver.

Taking a mid-season look at Canadian NHLOh Canada! It’s mid-season in

the NHL. The Canucks remain Canada’s best while the Oilers are the country’s worst. Here’s a brief look at each of the seven Canadian teams starting in the West:

(Stats are prior to Thursday games)

Vancouver: The Canucks are in familiar territory, atop the division and the confer-ence. They are also just as strong on the road as at home. Van-couver is headed for its seventh 100-point season in the past nine years. The Sedins remain the most consistent duo in the league. Alex Burrows is the benefactor of play-ing with them, leading the club in plus-minus (+18). Ex-Cougar Dan Hamhuis has been an anchor on the blue line and quietly is a +12. Corey Schneider has slightly better numbers than Roberto Luongo, but the Canucks will be Luongo’s “train to navigate”. For the sake of the team, one of those two goalies needs to be moved, albeit not necessarily this sea-son. One of Vancouver’s biggest strengths is depth.

Bottom Line: It’s Stanley Cup or bust for the Canucks.

Calgary: This is another mis-erable season for the Flames. They hit rock bottom when they recently lost 9-0 in Boston. The Flames are 12th in the West and have given up 18 more goals than they have scored. If the 500-goal man, Jarome Iginla, agrees to a

deal, the time has come to trade him for younger players. So-called top defenceman Jay Bouw-

meester has only two goals and is minus-11.

Bottom line: Pros-pects are bleak for the Flames.

Edmonton: After opening on a promis-ing note, the Oilers

are back in familiar territory, near the bottom of the Western Confer-ence. Goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, like many of his teammates, has cooled off since an exceptional start. Captain Canada, Ryan Smyth, has been solid while youngsters Taylor Hall and the injured Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins have been ter-rific. Captain Shawn Horcoff, at $5.5 million a season, has badly underachieved and is the worst minus on the team.

Bottom Line: Another non-playoff season is in the works for the Oilers.

Winnipeg: The pressure and expectations have been lessened with Winnipeg just enjoying hav-ing a team again. Naturally, the players and the fans want a play-off spot, and the team sits on the bubble. Evander Kane and Blake Wheeler have been the Jets most consistent players. Winnipeg’s top defenceman, former P.G. Cougar Dustin Byfuglien, struggled with a minus-8 rating before his injury.

Bottom Line: The Jets are a middle of the road lunch bucket team without a superstar.

Toronto: The Maple Leafs jokes are on hold. Toronto has shown vast improvement with Phil Kes-sel and Joffrey Lupul both sur-prisingly in the top five of league scoring. Most of the core players on the team have a plus rating. Yes, the Leafs can talk playoffs for a change. Whether they make it will be determined in the stretch drive.

Bottom Line: With one of the better offences, the Leafs should remain competitive.

Ottawa: Give new coach Paul MacLean credit for helping the Senators become one of the most improved teams in the league. I am dumbfounded as to how Ottawa can sit fifth in the East while giving up more goals than they have scored. Can somebody explain how forward Erik Condra is +12 and defenceman Filip Kuba is +14. High-scoring forwards Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfreds-son and rearguard Erik Karlsson have been excellent.

Bottom Line: The Senators will be hard pressed to maintain a playoff position.

Montreal: It’s unfortunate the Habs’ biggest problem isn’t new coach Randy Cunneyworth’s ability to speak French. Even GM Pierre Gauthier told the media: “Our fans deserve better and it’s our team who needs to find a solution.” Goalie Carey Price has been sharp, but he needs to return to all-star form for this team to excel. Montreal lacks consistent offence. As an example, Lars Eller

scored half of his eight goals in one game. Erik Cole is the top forward, which helps explain why the Canadiens are 12th in the East.

Bottom Line: The Habs are a long shot to return to the post-season.

In summary: I suspect Vancou-ver and at least two other Cana-dian teams will make the playoffs. Only two teams from Canada

qualified last season, so slow growth is a reality. I am not sure if it would be reality to see the Maple Leafs in the playoffs. Some traditions need to continue.
