When I got to the voting booth, I was preoccupied with some meaningless bit of meaninglessness, and accidentally exercised my franchise by slapping a big, fat ‘X’ beside the wrong name — beside George and the very party I was party to denouncing days earlier.
This election I’m considering quite seriously voting for the NDP again — this time on purpose.
I have two reasons. They may be lesser reasons to others, but to me they’re paramount. The first is simply that I believe in political change. Parties that stay in power for a long, long time tend to get stale and messy. The second, and more important reason I’m considering a vote for the NDP, is the party’s position on matters of mental health and addiction.
Six days ago, NDP Leader John Horgan pledged to create a new government ministry to address mental-health and addiction issues. I’m historically a “small-government” guy — something of a libertarian in this regard. So proposals of “new ministries” tend to repel my vote rather than attract it. But on the matter of a mental-health and addiction ministry, I’m listening.
What we have today in communities throughout B.C. is mental-health and addiction crises, with the two of them, I suspect, mostly overlapping.
This is what Horgan said in a news release Monday. I support this with every endorphin in my body.
The Liberal party, of course, has its own election 2017 strategy for dealing with mental health and addictions, but this is a party that has been in power since 2001, and, by no measure, is the situation better today than it was then. Can anything this party says on this file be taken seriously?
It’s talk. It’s air. I wish it was more. But it isn’t.
And, yes, the NDP pledges in support of mental health and addictions may well, in the end, be nothing more than talk, too. But I believe the party deserves the chance to try to fix this mess.
There’s still some time to go, but right now, they have my vote. Unless, of course, I arrive at the polling station, again, lost in reverie. In that case, my precious ‘X’ is up for grabs.
As a kid, he turned down the TV when he watched baseball games on so he could announce over them. Now he alters his diction on air to speak more clearly and protect the voice that has to carry him through 140 games.
He played baseball in high school and college, but when he realized he wouldn't make it to the bigs, "I figured out a way to stay in the game."
He was hired in 2015 as the voice of the Shuckers but wears lots of other hats, handling public relations, media relations, the team website and writing a preview and recap of every game. The time on air, "that's my easiest three hours of the day."
"The thing I'm most proud of is I never missed a game," he said. He started in Jackson, Tenn., in 2009 and didn't keep count until someone in the Shuckers office asked him for a tally.

Tim Bennett, Shuckers co-owner, said it's good to see MGM Park hosting school kids in the morning and college at night.
More group promotions are on the way, he said, to let Boys & Girls Clubs, churches, communities and other groups see a game.

After almost nine years of marriage, Slash and wife Perla Ferrar are separating.
The former Guns N’ Roses guitarist, 45, filed for divorce Monday in L.A. County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences and July 15, 2010 as the date of separation, according to TMZ.com.
I can confirm the divorce papers were filed and from Slash s perspective the split is amicable,” his rep tells PEOPLE.
The couple wed in October 2001 and have two sons, London, 8, and Cash, 6. Slash (real name: Saul Hudson) is seeking joint physical and legal custody of the children.
South Korea, China Forge Official Ties : Diplomacy: Action increases pressure on North Korea to ease hard-line policies. Roh plans visit to Beijing.
China and South Korea formally established diplomatic ties today, ending decades of hostility, and announced that South Korean President Roh Tae Woo will visit Beijing "in the near future."
The new Seoul-Beijing link is part of a post-Cold War realignment that leaves North Korea's increasingly isolated Communist government under growing pressure to revise its hard-line domestic and international policies.
Roh, in a nationwide television address today, said China has pledged to play a "positive" role in helping resolve concerns over North Korean nuclear weapons development and to work toward reunification of the rival Koreas.
Chinese Foreign Minister Qian Qichen, speaking Sunday with visiting South Korean Foreign Minister Lee Sang Ok, said that normalization of ties "is good for the people of the two countries and will contribute to peace and prosperity of the world."
China has not made any public reassessment of its role in the 1950-53 Korean War. But South Korean newspapers on Sunday quoted officials in Seoul as saying that China has described its entry into the war as "unfortunate and regrettable." The war began when North Korean forces invaded the south, but Chinese troops later fought alongside the North Koreans against South Korean and U.N. forces.
Rapprochement should boost economic ties that are already booming. Two-way trade exceeded $5.8 billion last year and is expected to top $10 billion this year. Roh's visit , further promoting this trend, is planned for October, according to reports from Seoul.
Seoul's recognition of Beijing is a diplomatic setback for the Nationalist government in Taipei, which fled to Taiwan in 1949 after losing to the Communists in a civil war on mainland China. Since then, both Taipei and Beijing have claimed to be the government of all China.
In today's joint communique, South Korea recognized Beijing as "the sole legal government of China" and said it "respects the position of the Chinese side that . . . Taiwan is part of China."
Seoul's decision thus requires a break in relations with Taipei. Roh said South Korea will maintain unofficial ties with Taiwan "at the highest possible level."
Taiwan's ambassador to South Korea, Charles Shu-chi King, gave a bitter press conference Saturday criticizing the South Korean government for not giving more advance notice of its decision.
"It was like killing somebody and explaining the reason later," King declared.
Taiwan's embassy in downtown Seoul, valued at $200 million, is its most valuable diplomatic property overseas. The property was originally purchased by the Qing Dynasty, which collapsed in 1911 and was replaced by the Nationalist government. The embassy will now be turned over to Beijing's control, according to reports from Seoul.

Zimbabwe’s Constitutional Court has been flooded with cases from detainees challenging their death penalty sentences. The court is expected to hear 18 cases this month.
Fifteen detainees sentenced to death are expected before the Constitutional Court next week. This is in addition to three cases that opened Wednesday.
The 15 men were condemned as long ago as 2002 and argue they have waited too long on death row.
Their lawyer, former Zimbabwe finance minister Tendai Biti, says stricter criteria for death penalty convictions laid out in the 2013 constitution should work in their favor.
“So the argument next week is that because you have kept us waiting for so long, that alone becomes cruel and degrading punishment which is ultra vires (beyond the powers of) the Zimbabwe constitution. This delay that you have made us to suffer just waiting for our death is punishment on its own. So you cannot kill us twice, because you have already killed us,” Biti says.
FILE - Tendai Biti is seen at a news conference in Harare, Zimbabwe.
The minister-turned-advocate wants the death penalty eliminated from Zimbabwe law completely. Currently, crimes punishable by death include murder and treason.
The last execution in Zimbabwe took place in 2005. Justice Minister and Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa is among those who oppose the death penalty.
“We have 89 people on death row. Two of them are women. They are lucky; I did not sign the papers for their execution. At the end of the day, we have commuted [their sentences] to life imprisonment,” Mnangagwa said.
Zimbabwe is one of at least 32 sub-Saharan African countries that have the death penalty, according to Amnesty International. But many of those countries have not executed anyone in at least a decade.

Oregon’s U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall may have troubles of her own to deal with.
