To reflect the cooperative spirit
in the Letters of Understanding
signed in September, the United
Steelworkers District No. 3 logo
has been added to the sign at the
Trail Operations Main Entrance

Displaying the Company and
Union logos together is intended
as a daily reminder Of the spirit of
co-operation both parties have
committed themselves to.

During an informal dedication
ceremony, Roger Watson, Operat
ing Vice President , Trail Opera
tions said, “This is an occasion of
great significance and on the part
of the company, it’s an occasion
of pride. Steel and Cominco have
always worked beside each other,
but not necessarily together.”

He added that common sense
and difficult world business cli-
mate have brought the two
together. “This entrance sign
symbolizes a new beginning of
working jointly towards our
many common objectives.”

TRAIL
METALLURGICAL
OPERATIONS

Present for the dedication of the double logos were (!-r): Wayne Wyton, general man-
ager; Jim Utley, manager, Human Resources; Nicole Byres, counsel at Trail; Doug Swan-
son, president, Local 480; Roger Watson, operation vice president; Rom Schmidt, USw
District 3 representative; Jim Saare, president, Local 9705; Mike Agg, manager, Produc-

tion Support and Doug Magoon, general manager, Zinc Operations

Wednesday, November 3, 1993

It can be a very difficult thing to deal with when your two best
friends are a thousand miles away, and I have the phone bills to prove
At. Steve, my old school-time buddy lives in Port Hardy, as he has for
most of his life; I've known him since I was eight years old. Having
lived all over British Columbia and Alberta, I've had to leave behind
many friends in about twenty different locations, but through the
years, Steve has been one of the constants.

A typical day with Steve meant this the last time I saw him nearly
three years ago: a few hours on the court playing rousing games of
basketball, mocking each other when_a play didn't happen, taking the
credit when it did, bragging the entire length of the walk back to his
place, emptying the fridge at his place and watching a little television
(O.K., it was a big television)... and then maybe back to the court for a
couple more hours. What's not to love?

I haven't played basketball in nearly three years.

This week's column definitely won't be dealing with any of the
hard core problems that I usually write about, nor will anybody be
,amazed with an extra-ordinary whirl of insight this week. I am going
to explore something quite different this time, after all, a little senti-
ment never hurt anybody, right?

My other best friend is currently attending Baptist college in
Edmonton. Shelley and I have been through some rough time togeth-
er, and we have always been there for each other. I hope that doesn’t

change anytime soon. Granted, I haven't known her for as long as I

have known Steve, but that doesn't make much of a difference. For

my birthday, she gave me a cassette by Michael W. Smith, which con-

tained a song that said pretty much exactly what needed to be said
The song was call, “Friends”, and it's a very powerful song

Which brings to mind a song

by the “Barenaked Ladies”,

called, “Blame It On Me”

There is a passage in it that I

often ponder, and it goes like

this: “Here you are and you're

a hundred thousand miles

away, they say that absence

makes the heart grow fungus.”

I'm not altogether sure I agree

with that passage, though I find it holds some merit. 1 have to say that

my favorite passage from the same cassette is from “Crazy”: “the

lights are on but nobody's home, my elevator dosn't go to the top,

I'm not playing with a full deck, I’ve lost my marbles. I’m a few

bricks short of a load, but a full load always hurt my back. I flew over

the cuckoo's nest and I'in never ever coming back because I'm crazy

just like- you.” I'm positive this passage holds a greater degree of

merit. It’s the attitude I keep with all of my friends, but none more

than Shelley

Despite the fact that most of my friends over the years will proba
bly never see any of my columns, let alone this one, | wish every one
of them fuck in their present and future endeavors. For most of them,
it's been a long time, and I don't even have some of their addresses.
Oh well, what can you do, right?

Next week I'll deal with something much more hard hitting, though
I never know what will end up in the paper until I start typing,

“The young boy now knows the ways of the world

And that he must not sit and be dormant

Take an active role in keeping life unfurled,

Do what he must, ¢ven when others can’t

He has a broader perspective on life

And he spends much of his time in deep thought

Won't deal with the world in a state of strife

“Cause he knows the world isn’t sold or bought

He knows the world would move on regardless

Of whether he had played the game or not

He devotes his time to fixing the mess

Although to the world he is but a dot

And now the young man has devoted the lot

To prove your life is your to plan and yours to plot.”

bright blood-red poppies which
signify one of Canada’s most
somber national holidays, held on
November 11

But as you make a donation and
pin the cloth poppy to your lapel
do you know why we wear them,
or for what they stand? Do you
know what happens to the money
that is collected from poppy sales?

During the war of 1914-1918
men were fighting a bloody battle
in a place far from home —Flar
ders, France. Through all the hor
ror of the war viewed from
trenches the men couldn't help
but notice the blood-red poppies

which grew everywhere—even
on the graves of friends who had
died in combat

The soldiers who returned
home began a tradition of .wear
ing poppies out of respect and
remembrance of their comrades

Because poppies aren't readily
available in Canada, especially as
winter is about to set in, wounded
soldiers who were unable to work
began to make poppies from
cloth—and so “Poppy Day”, or
Remembrance Day is celebrated
with the wearing of poppies

Since the tradition began
almost three quarters of a million
dollars is collected annually
through the Poppy Fund and i
then used to assist ex-service
people and their dependants with
clothing, food, dental and a host
of other ne ities.

So this year, as you walk down
the street and come upon a Royal
Canadian Legion member selling
Poppies, don’t turn your head as
you walk by—instead think about
those who gave the ultimate gift
