Minor Hockey: on the decline

Editor, Castlegar News:

As past executive of Castlegar Minor Hockey As- sociation and someone who has become deeply involved and interested in the devel- opment of amateur hockey in this area over the past num- ber of years, I feel that I must express my concern re- garding the direction that I see our hockey system head- ing and the criticisms that are being directed at it.

Like many of the other volunteers, mine is a labor of

a judgment of a tiral heard in Duncan, B.C. Feb. 10, 1981 involving the killing of a hound dog.

Two cougar hunters, Mor- ris Trace and Doug Ford on Feb. 3, 1979 put two experi- enced hounds en a cougar track. The two hounds treed the cougar near the edge of a clearing, part of Burno Win- nig’s farm.

Mr. Winnig heard the dogs treeing, grabbed his rifle, went to the tree, killed one hound, scared the other off and then wounded the cou- gar. Being aware that he was soon going to have to defend his actions in an extremely hostile environment, he quickly contacted the RCMP and the local conservation of- ficer. Mr. Bruno Winnig was charged with illegally killing a hound.

In passing judgment, his Honour Tyrwhitt Drake noted, “No person has the right to kill any dog except in certain circumstances which are clearly defined in certain statutes. Two factors must. be present before a dog can be ripe for slaughter; it must be running at large and in addition attacking or vicious- ly pursuing a person or do- mestic animal. If either of these factors is absent, the killing of the dog is not justi- fied. “It can hardly be said that

master, a co-operative en- deavor for which he is bred and trained in running at large. He cannot be said to be out of control, because he is in direct and continuous charge of a person who is competent to control him.

“Neither of the factors justifying the killing of a dog was present, then and so the defendant killed the plain- tiffs hound without jutifi- cation in law and is liable in damages therefore.

The phone calls at all hours, complaining parents, and unhappy coaches all make our lives a bit more exciting — for lack of a better word!

Why is minor hockey on the decline? Why are there so many problems, especially in the last couple of years? I would have to sum it up in two words — communication and co-operation.

The whole subject of dogs

is for many people quite 1 emotional and they have }

difficulty dealing with the matter rationally. My asso- ciate sportsmen and pro- fessional hunters ‘take this matter of dogs with extreme seriousness and before one

does something rash or in- 4

discreet, I suggest they ponder the implications of their actions.

The lack of both of these ingredients is quickly send- ing minor hockey, and prob- ably many other amateur sports, to an undeserved death.

I would at this time have to question whether individual associations are doing their jobs properly. Why aye there so many coaches and man- agers, and even association executives that don't even know the rules that we have democratically agreed to live by? Could it possibly be that your lines of communication aren't the best, or are non-existent?

- It may be time for all of us to look in the mirror and ask ourselves why we are in- volved. Is it really for the

uninvolved!

With the inflated egos out of the way, perhaps the com- munication and co-operation will come naturally. The game, and kids, deserve a better break.

Constitution bill to be tabled

y MACKEY

LONDON (CP) — The bill to amend the patriate Can- ada’s constitution will be tabled in the British Par- liament on Tuesday, officials indicated Friday.

The move, a mere formal- ity involving no debate, should be over in seconds.

But Canadian Indians op- posing the measures are planning to present a petition to the Commons, in con-

junction with the tabling. of.

the bill, for changes to be made to protect Indian rights.

The petition will be pre- sented by Conservative Mp Sir Bernard Brajne on behalf of Canadian Indian chiefs, spokesmen for the Indian Association of Alberta, said Friday.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Federation of Sas- katchewan Indians vowed that the Indians will use “every possible means” in the parliamentary rule book to have the constitutional bill changed or thwarted.

Besides the political lobby, the Indians have also re- sorted to the British courts.

On Monday, the Court of Appeal is to hear an appeal -by. the ,.Alberta Indians,. against. a lower-court ruling;, Dec. 9 which denied their application for a hearing to challenge the British gov- ernment's stand that it has no responsibility for Can- adian Indians.

The Saskatchewan Indians were to file a court action this week but have decided to postpone it, preferring for

the moment to concentrate their support on court action launched last week by 78 Indian chiefs, mainly from British Columbia.

Those chiefs are seeking to have the court established that they have to veto power over constitutional changes.

EXPECTS PASSAGE

Despite the opposition to the measure from the In- dians, from the Quebec gov- ernment.and from their sup- porters. in: the: British Par- liament, Sir Anthony Ker- shaw said this week he thinks the bill will go through “with discussion but without dif- ficulty.”,

Kershaw, chairman of the British Commons Select Committee on Foreign Af- fairs which reported on its study of the Canadian ques-

tion last Jan. 80, said the committee will soon ‘issue a final paper in time for debate on the Canada bill.

FISHERMEN WANT COMPENSATION

VANCOUVER (CP) — Fraser River gillnet fishermen want compensation of $10,000 each for every season they cannot fish the river because it is closed to conserve dwindling chinook salmon runs.

The fishermen also want the federal Fisheries Department to buy their chinook.nets and tackle which they say will deteriorate if stored for that long.

And in addition to the compensation they want chinook fishing on the river to resume when stocks improve.

A resolution of the Fraser River district council of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers’ Union which outlined the wanted by fish was given to Fraser River fisheries manager Fred Fraser this week. Fraser said Friday it would be forwarded to department policy makers. gy
