PHOTO COURTESY OF MAYHEM IN THE PLATZL

You don’t often seen a boarder riding a rail down Deer Park Avenue, but last Saturday night’s Mayhem in the Platzl changed all that. A hugely successful evening, Mayhem featured skiers and boarders competing in a rail jam, DJ music, light show and a fashion show. See more photos, page A5.

Platzl aliveC AROLYN GR ANT

For years, in fact since the once hugely popular WinterFest died, the search has been on for an event that would bring people to Kimber-ley’s Platzl in the winter. Events have been tried, but nothing stuck

— nothing hit just the right note and attracted the right amount of people.

Until Mayhem in the Platzl. Last Saturday night, the Platzl was jammed with people, all taking in

the rail jam.Organizers say the energy was

unparalleled, as DJ music, a light show, a rail jam and a fashion show combined to bring more people out on a winter’s evening than have

been seen in years, outside of the annual Light Up. Restaurants were doing a booming business as a mix of locals and visitors took in the action.

Senior’s Lifestyle Community

Keeps Winter at BayLife in winter can be daunting for

seniors. The cold temperatures can make the simplest of tasks much more difficult. Chores like shoveling the drive-way or picking up groceries can turn into momentous tasks. Ice and snow represent real physical dangers that can not only cause a nasty fall but also get in the way of activities outside the house. There is always the worry of a broken or failing heating system that can result in all manner of bills and troubles, adding more unnecessary stress. Combine these stresses and it may lower quality of life, causing family members endless worry.

Fortunately retirement housing at Garden View Village can provide plenty of peace of mind for both the residents and the family members, with apartments designed to take the worry out of winter. Not only are the studio, one and two-bedroom suites appointed for comfort and independence but also include many key features to help with each resident’s individual wants and needs. Independent heat and air-conditioning controls allow them to set the apartments temperature to whatever will be most comfortable for them. Full kitchens and large wheelchair accessible bathrooms can help residents maintain their independence while weekly housekeeping services and 24-hour assistance is available for complete peace of mind.

Since the Village boasts many leisure opportunities, residents don’t have to worry about braving the harsh winter weather in search of relaxation and fun. Just outside of their front door they will find many amenities such as a games room, library, and spa, as well as many lounge areas which are certain to be filled with friendly

faces and familiar smiles. There are also special recreational and social activities such as live entertainment, exercise programs and excursions to local attractions, which are all covered in the affordable monthly rent. Also included in the rent are the delicious meals which are prepared by the on-site chef in the warm central dining room where residents can enjoy meals next to a cozy fireplace where friends and family are always welcome to join.

Garden View Village also understands just how much pets are a part of the family. Residents are encouraged to share their apartments with their companions in the totally pet friendly building.

With all of these wonderful features the Village relieves worries not only for residents but also for family members. “I had the best winter last year because I live three hours away and didn’t have to worry about my mom being alone.” said Linda Frew, whose mother is a resident at the Golden Life location in Kimberley. “I have total peace of mind knowing there is staff on site 24 hours a day, that she has company for dinner every night, and she is being well cared for. But most of all I have peace of mind knowing she is very happy.”

No longer should seniors have to worry about shoveling the walkway or what they’ll do should a maintenance emergency befall them. Cold weather is no reason that seniors shouldn’t be free to enjoy the many activities, freedoms, and quality of life. Garden View Village provides just that and much, much more. Open daily; call Garden View Village at (250) 427-4014 for more information or to book a tour.

Choice and Commit, Mayhem was all about showcasing Kimber-ley’s mountain culture and came together with a huge volunteer effort, great sponsor support and help from the City.

Snow was moved and contoured, rails were built and for one evening there was ski-ing and boarding down-town.

The Choice’s team snowboarder Anson won the First Annual Mayhem Rail Jam Cup. Stop by the Choice’s shop to see the cup, where it will be on dis-play for the next year.

Organizers are grate-ful for the wide commu-nity support.

“Tons of prizes were handed out thanks to the Choice, Commit, Kootenay Mountain

Works, Teck,Chalet GM and My Signs,” read a post-event press re-lease.

“Adam Laurin owner of Commit, was on hand for announcing, as well as Ciaran Plant for the singing of O’Can-ada.

“King’s Cat General Contractor’s very skill-ful Bobcat operator Peter Hill helped move snow in creation and clean up of the rail jam.

“Support also came from the Summit Fund, a community program run by Kimberley Al-pine Resort, as well as Invest Kootenay, CBT, and Teck. Mayhem was very lucky to have the expertise and hard work of Myc Pakula and Luke Meeds on site to design and build the course, especially during one of the busiest days of the year for the Resort.

John Haner, Lisa Smith and Nancy Ricketts on hand with First Aid was a huge contribution, and Cara Wiseman and her team setting up light and sound with Ray’s Music.

“The City of Kimber-ley and Rockies Law Corporation’s in kind support was above and beyond. From waivers to dump trucks full of snow, this event was made possible with their support.

“Tourism Kimberley provided the profes-sional support cinema-tographer and lighting designer Courtney For-ester.

“Rail features were made possible by the support of Tyee Log Homes, Fabrite, and Meadowbrook Motors.

“Transportation to and from the event was supplied by Simply

Kimberley.The evening con-

cluded with Fashion Mayhem, which was a great success and dis-play of Kimberley’s fash-ion. Organizers thank El Chupcabra, Leaf Bou-tique db Natural Attrac-tions, Hands on evolu-tion, Divine Designs, Root for Me fand Back on the Rack for showing beautiful outfits.

Grubstake provided fuel for volunteers with a delicious pizza lunch during the set up. With such great success an-other rail jam next year is a given. If you would like to be part of the Mayhem 2015 please contact Cora Miller @ [email protected].

It’s the average fami-ly who will be affected negatively by the new budget brought down this week by the BC Lib-eral provincial govern-ment, says Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald (NDP).

“There’s more dam-

age in it than one would imagine,” he said. “Firstly, they made a big deal of new health spending. But the fact is that the spending won’t meet upcoming cost pressures. It will be A constraint on a more and more constrained service.”

Macdonald says there are costs for fami-

lies and overall cuts to services all through the budget.

“There’s another Medical Services Pre-mium increase, a Hydro increase, we know ICBC rates are going to go up, tuition fees are going up. All of these will im-pact families negative-ly.”

From Page A3Macdonald says that

while the BC Liberals make much of revenue coming from LNG, there really isn’t any-thing there in the fore-seeable future.

“We were promised a tax structure around LNG a year ago. Then we were promised it for this session. Now it’s some time in the future. The whole LNG process the Premier is making so much of is well off the rails. It will be diffi-cult to square the reve-nue promises to prom-ises made to industry about the lowest taxes in North America. There’s no income from LNG for the next three years. The plant that was supposed to be up by 2015 is just not hap-pening.”

In fact, Macdonald said, many promises made by the BC Liberal government are just not coming through.

“In the Throne Speech they talked about skills training, then in the budget they cut skills training. They can’t even keep a prom-ise for a week.”

“What is truly dis-turbing about this gov-ernment’s record on fi-nancial matters is that we have skyrocketing debt, and very little to show for it. Health and education services are being cut due to a lack of funding,” continued Macdonald.

“And now, due to more than a decade of government interfer-ence, Crown Corpora-tions that have tradi-tionally operated with significant surpluses are struggling to stay afloat.

“This budget is a classic example of mis-management of the province’s resources — taxpayers’ get less while paying much, much more.”

For the Bulletin

Sarona Mynhardt, Director of the White Rock Chil-dren’s Choir, clinician, and performer, is coming to Kimberley this weekend to work the Selkirk Concert Choir for three days. Mynhardt was born and raised in South Africa. Her formal voice training culminated in postgraduate work at the Conservatory of Music at North-WestUniversity in Potchefstroom. Her early singing career included membership in professional children’s and youth choirs, and later extended to in-clude roles in Musicals, Operettas, and solo recitals.

The Selkirk Choir has had a busy season so far, and will be performing with Mynhardt on Saturday, Febru-ary 22nd, at 7 p.m., at the McKim Theatre. Mynhardt will be leading the Choir in a set focusing on African music. The students are incredibly excited to be work-ing with such an outstanding clinician and educator, and are looking forward to learning a lot from her. Courtney Crawford, soprano with the Selkirk Choir, says, “Mr. Heyde has raved about Sarona all year, and we can’t wait to meet her and have a chance to focus on our singing for three days straight.”

Other upcoming events for the Selkirk Music pro-gram include a Choral Night with the Kimberley Com-munity Choir at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, March 5th at McKim Theatre, a Band Night with the Kimberley Community Band at 7:30 pm on April 17th at McKim Theatre, and a trip to Calgary to hear the Calgary Phil-harmonic Orchestra perform on May 1st. The CPO will be performing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, as well as the world premier of a commission from Van-couver composer Dr. Steven Chatman.

Sarona Mynhardt will be working with the Selkirk Secondary School Concert Choir from Thursday to Saturday this week, and they very much hope to see a full house for their performance under her direction at 7 p.m. on Saturday, February 22nd, at McKim Theatre.

ALL PHOTOS COURTESY MAYHEM IN THE PLATZL

PAGE A6 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2014

I want you all to know: This winter I have taken up cross-country skiing, a sport that seems to fit my budget, temper-ament and relative degree of condition-ing.

Yes, I got some skis, and when winter hit I im-mediately headed out to the fabulous, fantastic, fa-mous South Star Trails in the mysterious hills south of Cranbrook.

The South Star Trails, at the base of Cranbrook Mountain, are a local paradise for recreationalists — end-less kilometres of trails, spread out over an immeasurable area of light forest, all kept in pristine condition by local volunteers.

Skiers head out into its vastness and disappear from each other for hours, re-emerging later in the parking lot at the end of 38th Street, refreshed like they’ve had some communion with the wild gods of the East Kootenay mountain wilder-ness.

In my first outings, I kept to the easy trails, like “Easy Street.” But the other day, hypnotized by the stillness and the swish of the skis, I lost track of where I was. When I “came too,” I found that I was not only quite tired, but I was on one of the tougher, “black diamond” trails — I wasn’t quite sure where.

I tried to turn around, tripped over my skis and fell over. I then had the devil of a time trying to get back up, flailing around like some giant overturned beetle in the snow.

To my relief, a skier came schussing up out of the lightly falling snow. He stopped, offered his arm, and I was able to finally pull myself back to my feet. I leaned on my poles, gasping.

“Say, you look like you could use a breather,” he said. I nodded. “I’d love a bench,” I panted.

He looked around over both his shoul-ders, as if to check that no one was there. “Listen,” he said. “Don’t tell anyone I told

you this, but head that way for 20 metres, take a right, go another 20 metres, take a left, then follow the S-shaped trail for yet another 20 metres, hang another left, and

ski the trail you find there for a while. When you feel better, just ski back to the start of that trail and follow your nose out to the parking lot.

“And remember, don’t tell anyone where you heard about it.” The skier then

schussed away into the lightly falling snow.

So I did it. I skied 20 metres, hung a roscoe, another 20 metres, hung a louie, then another louie, and found myself in front of a sign that said “Escher Trail (vol-unteers only).” I started down this trail.

Escher Trail had a gentle downhill slope that seemed to go on for miles, twist-ing through the trees. It was the most fun trail I’d been on yet. Easy too. Skiing on it was like resting. “I’m sure not looking for-ward to that uphill slog on the way back,” I said. “But this great downhill cruise makes it worth it, for sure!”

After what seemed like hours, the trail ended, just like that, with only the forbid-ding wilderness of Cranbrook Mountain in front of me. I turned around, feeling re-freshed, prepared to herring-bone, skate-ski and pole my way back to the head of the trail.

But to my surprise, I began to glide back the way I came — downhill again! Through some trick of geography, Escher Trail was a trail that went downhill both ways. “Oh boy,” I said, “I’m going to be skiing this trail again!”

If anything, Escher Trail was easier ski-ing back the way I came. Downhill both ways, how often does that happen?

About halfway along, I saw a man on the trail, busy grooming away some tree branches. He looked up as I skied up to him.

“What are you doing on this trail?” he

asked. “This is for volunteers only. Didn’t you see the sign?”

“I did see the sign,” I said. “But I guess I ignored it. Say, how about this trail! It’s the best!”

The man shook his head. “You’ve got a glimpse of what non-volunteers never glimpse. Many have skied these hills look-ing for the fabulous Escher Trail. Many have skied, few have seen. This is a mysti-cal, edge-of-another-world perk for those who volunteer, keeping the South Star Trails in shape. Who told you about it?”

“No one told me about it,” I said. “I just stumbled across it.”

The man shook his head again. “No one just stumbles across it. Many have skied, few have seen.”

“Well,” I said, “now that I have found it, you can bet I’ll be back. Not only do I feel refreshed, I feel like a Scandinavian Olym-pian.”

Again, he shook his head. What was with all the head-shaking?

“You might think you’ll come right back,” he said. “But you won’t.

“You could,” he added, “always volun-teer.”

He got me to help him move a big piece of windfall away from the trail. And then I was off, skiing downhill the way I came, to the top of Escher Trail. And then I fol-lowed my nose out to the parking lot, feel-ing like an Olympian.

And that was that. I have skied South Star Trails again and again, searching for the fabulous Escher Trail, that goes down-hill both ways. But I have not been able to find it. I ask skiers as they schuss on by — they look at me blankly. I’ve taken the roscoe, the louie and another louie, and I’ve followed my nose. But it’s like Escher Trail never existed.

But I’m not giving up my search. I’m keen to see what it’s like biking it in the summer. Perhaps it’s time to volunteer.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

When a government an-nounces that it is going to launch an

“anti-terror operation,” that generally means that it has de-cided to kill some people. That was what the police said at 6 pm local time Tuesday in Kiev, as they launched their assault on the protesters who have oc-cupied the main square of the Ukrainian capi-tal for 11 weeks — and sure enough, people started to die.

P r e s i d e n t Viktor Yanu-kovych has not just had a bad two months; he has had a bad three years. He won the 2010 election narrowly but fairly, and ever since he has been trying to straddle the gap be-tween Russia and the Europe-an Union. Both Moscow and Brussels have been courting Ukraine with trade-and-aid deals, and neither one was willing to let Yanukovych have it both ways.

Yet if he opted for either one, half the country was going to condemn him, for Ukraini-ans are split almost fifty-fifty between those (mostly Ukrainian-speakers in the west

of the country) who want clos-er ties with the European Union and those (mostly Rus-sian-speakers in the east and south) who want stronger links with Russia. Finally, in late No-vember, he came down off the fence and chose Russia.

He did so because Russia’s President Vladimir Putin was offering a massive financial

bail-out if he joined Mos-cow’s new “Eur-asian Union”— and threatening to turn off the gas that keeps Ukraine’s econ-omy function-

ing if he did not. He also did it because his own voters are mostly Russian-speakers in the east. But he didn’t do it happily, because he knew there would be a backlash.

What he didn’t reckon with is the strength and duration of the protests, and the fact that they would expand beyond the simple Brussels-or-Moscow issue to take in the massive cor-ruption that has flourished under his government. (Yanu-kovych’s son Oleksandr, a den-tist by training, has become one of the country’s richest men in just three years.) And now his back is against the wall.

For the first two months of the confrontation, the protests were mostly peaceful, the riot police were kept on a short leash most of the time (al-though five people were killed), and you would have taken an even-money bet that Yanu-kovych could ride it out. Then he made the error of passing severe anti-protest laws, some of the protesters (especially on the nationalist right) started to use violence, and he began to retreat.

Within a week he was re-pealing his new laws in parlia-ment, and accepting the resig-nation of his hard-line prime minister. Then he was offering the opposition leaders places

in a new cabinet (they refused), and granting amnesty to pro-testers who faced criminal charges. Then he proposed constitutional reforms that would reduce the power of the president – but on Tuesday he postponed the debate on those reforms in parliament.

That was when the killing started — in front of the parlia-ment, not on “Euromeydan”, the main square that the pro-testers have held since late No-vember — between the right-wing nationalists of Praviy Sek-tor and a pro-government crowd imported from eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine: Yanukovych’s last throw?

Marysville arenaTo Have or Not to Have — that was the

question.Today, governments at all levels are

desperately attempting to balance their budgets. The majority of Kimberley’s city council voted otherwise, the debacle of the last council meeting being a case in point.

We apparently have a number of pend-ing projects upcoming that will require serious monies to rectify. These should be prioritized with great care as to the impact on the community as a whole. Monies have to go to basic infrastructure first and then to wanted but non-essential projects. We can’t spend money we don’t have or have any realistic hope of raising.

The hope that somehow we may qualify for government grants to bail us out and protect us from ourselves: get over it, not going to happen. Government grants usu-ally go to the areas that voted for the gov-ernment of the day and most importantly to municipal governments that show fiscal responsibility. Provincial and federal poli-ticians through their grant administrators want to be seen as good managers and “purveyors of the public purse”. If you were handing out arena grants, would they go to the community trying to keep one arena or to the community that can’t afford two but insist they deserve two?

Councillors Don McCormick and Dar-ryl Oakley are to be applauded for being true to their convictions. I am sure both have been subjected to untold criticism. I commend you both for your pragmatic, fiscally responsible evaluation of this mess we find ourselves in. I thank you for doing your best considering the circumstances.

I’m all for minor hockey, figure and speed skating but if the big picture indi-

cates that we can’t afford the convenience of two arenas we have to re-evaluate the circumstances before us.

Accusations of making the issue politi-cal is an oxymoron; everything at city hall is political. All the upcoming infrastructure costs and where the money is to come from should be part of every spending de-cision.

The Rolling Stones song that says “you can’t always get what you want” and the toughest word to say in the English lan-guage —“no”— should have applied here.

snowmobiles/CaribouThe recent article, “Guide/outfitting

camp supported by RDEK, but not for snowmobiling,” published on February 17th has many factual errors that make me question why Mayor Stetski is so opposed to snowmobiling and the Cranbrook Snowmobile Club.

Statements such as: “It is critical cari-bou habitat…” and “I don’t think this should be available for snowmobiling,” by Mayor Stetski show his ignorance of the area in question and the role that snow-mobilers have played in protecting moun-tain caribou habitat in recent years.

The members of the Cranbrook Snow-mobile Club have voluntarily agreed to re-strict snowmobiling in critical habitat, placing thousands of hectares out of bounds to any winter-motorized use. In addition, we have limited our snowmobile use in other areas to existing roads and cutblocks, even though there have not been caribou sighted in most of these areas for over 10 years.

The article went on to state that there are 15 endangered mountain caribou in the Perry Creek area. In my review of the government tracking data for the past sev-eral years, I cannot find any evidence of caribou in the Perry Creek drainage. Any sightings and tracks have been to the west in other drainages.

The location of the proposed camp is not in designated caribou habitat. Yes, it is adjacent to identified habitat, but so is the City of Cranbrook!

The proponent of the satellite guide camp suggested that in the future, he would work with the snowmobile club to assist with our activities in the winter months. We always work with other tenure holders in our area, whether they are guide outfitters, trappers, miners or logging con-tractors. We respect everyone’s right to use the backcountry for work or recreation in a safe and environmentally respectful way.

The Cranbrook Snowmobile Club has maintained a destination cabin in the Moyie River drainage for over 25 years for the use of our members and guests. We also have an emergency shelter open to the public with a wood stove, first aid equipment and a toboggan/stretcher. If the proposed site in the Perry Creek drainage offered a similar emergency shelter, this would be something that all winter backcountry recreationalists could enjoy.

I would hope that before Mayor Stetski offers his opinion on snowmobiling again, he would sit down with our environmental committee to get his facts straight. Then perhaps he can make an informed deci-sion.

It seemed like a game destined for overtime.

However, the Koote-nay Ice survived a late scare to overcome the Medicine Hat Tigers at 5-2 to post an important divisional victory in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

“It’s huge, obviously five points—now three—with not many games left, it’s huge,” said Reinhart. “It’s really a four-point game we won tonight, it was defi-nitely, by far, the biggest game of the year.”

Despite the win, Kootenay was out-gunned on the shot clock, as Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski turned away 40 shots, while his counterpart across the arena, Marek Langhamer, made 23 saves.

“Especially that team, they love to chuck everything at me,” said Skapski. “I felt like some of the guys kept the stuff to the outside and I saw most of it. They tried to throw traffic at me, but we did a good job of boxing things out and letting me see pucks.”

With Tigers sniper

Curtis Valk going point-less, Reinhart took over the WHL’s longest active point streak at 18 games, scoring a goal and tally-ing three assists to reach the milestone. Valk had run his to the same number before missing the scoresheet on Wednesday night at Western Financial Place.

The two teams re-mained scoreless after

the first period, with Skapski and Langhamer making key saves to

keep it that way. Zach Franko made it

1-0 with 10 seconds re-maining in the second period on the power-play, pouncing on a fat rebound with a wide-open net.

Early in the third pe-riod, Chad Labelle tied it up for Medicine Hat, slipping it through the five-hole after getting a short breakaway inside the Kootenay defensive

zone. Then, with five min-

utes left in the game, the Tigers drew more blood.

A turnover in Koote-nay territory resulted in an odd-man rush for Medicine Hat, and Jacob Doty fired home a slick pass from Blake Penner.

But Kootenay had some late-game heroics of their own.

Finland knocks out Russian men’s hockey team with an

upset 3-1 victorySOCHI, Russia - Finland eliminated Russia from

the Olympic men’s hockey tournament with a 3-1 victory Wednesday, putting a stunning end to the Russians’ enormous expectations at home.

Teemu Selanne scored an early goal and Tuukka Rask made 37 saves as Finland crushed the Rus-sians’ dreams of winning hockey gold in front of their own fans. Russian teams have won eight gold medals in hockey, but none in the last 22 years.

Selanne and Mikael Granlund each had a goal and an assist for the steady Finns, who overcame an early deficit and silenced the Bolshoy Ice Dome with two goals in the first period.

Despite its roster of high-priced offensive stars, Russia couldn’t score in the final 52 minutes after Ilya Kovalchuk’s early power-play goal.

Finland will face top-seeded Sweden in the semi-finals on Friday.

Russia has failed to win a medal in three straight Olympics since 2002, and even home-ice advantage couldn’t end the embarrassing drought.

A quarter-final exit is excruciating for the proud Russian team, which pressed relentlessly and fruit-lessly in the third period after falling behind by two goals.

After the final buzzer, several Russian players stood on the ice with their hands on their knees. Evgeni Malkin, who failed to score a goal in the last four games, dropped to one knee before captain Pavel Datsyuk led the traditional post-game hand-shake line.

ARNE PETRYSHENTownsman Staff

On Wednesday night, Sam Re-inhart from the Kootenay Ice got a goal and three assists during a 5-2 win over the Medicine Hat Tigers, which runs his points streak to 18 games.

He said is was great to have points in all those games for his confidence as well as the teams.

“The confidence is pretty good right now,” Reinhart said. “More importantly the team is winning when it really matters up into the season. So we’re playing with all our confidence right now and I’ll be looking forward to keeping it going.”

Reinhart has had 16 goals and 26 assists in the last 18 games, with one goal and three assists in Wednesday night’s game.

When asked how his results

on the score sheet have translat-ed into wins for the team, Rein-hart attributed the success back to the team.

“Our top lines… we have a couple lines producing at a very good pace right now so that’s al-ways a confidence boost for ev-eryone else,” he said, “and our defensive line, they’re playing great for us as well. They’re chip-ping in every now and then and you know playing a great game against the other teams top play-ers. So they’re very important to our success.”

On the other bench, Medicine Hat Tigers Curtis Valk couldn’t keep his 18 game point streak up and said it isn’t easy coming in to play on the Kootenay Ice home turf.

“It’s always tough,” Valk said. “It’s a long road trip during the

day, so coming off the bus you have to be ready to go. I think we started a little slow today com-pared to what we usually do at home. It’s definitely a tough road trip and they are a good team at home and it’s tough to play here.”

Valk had no points in the game, but said the 18-game point streak he’s been riding was a good one.

“It’s pretty cool I guess,” he said. “It’s better when the team is winning too, so when I can help out, it’s kind of my job to put up numbers, to score goals, so if it’s helping the team win, it’s even better.

“It’s a good milestone, but there are still lots of games left and I’m going to have to keep working at it.”

Valk had 16 goals and 13 as-sists in the last 19 games.

Reinhart owns longest active WHL point streak

“It’s really a four-point game we won

New Anti-Domestic

Violence Plan being implemented

effective April 1. 2014

Our government is launching a three year plan to strengthen our collective approach to addressing domestic violence in British Columbia. The plan

was developed through consultations with the public and anti-violence stakeholders.

Over the next 3 years, a $5.5 million Provincial Domestic Violence Plan will deliver on our commitment to make BC a safer place for women,

children and anyone who has been aff ected by domestic violence.

The plan focuses on reducing domestic violence in B.C. by providing an integrated and coordinated response to domestic

violence in B.C through enhanced information sharing between all service providers, creation of specialized domestic violence units and improving direct services for those aff ected by domestic violence.

Key City gymnasts head to BC Winter Games

Arne PetryshenTownsman Staff

The Key City Gymnastics Club will be sending three young gymnasts to the BC Winter Games this week. The three girls, Taylor Johnstone, 14, and sisters Emma Lim, 10, and Kayley Lim, 13, left to the Games Wednesday night.

All three have been doing gymnastics pretty much since they could crawl, Emma and Kayley at the Cranbrook Club. Taylor has been at the club for the past five years.

Kayley said she is mostly looking forward to the experience and being there for the events.

“You get a really good idea of what big competitions like Nationals and Westerns are like,” Kayley said.

Taylor said she is looking forward to the overall experience, meeting people and see-ing other gymnasts in higher levels.

“I would say experience too, because it’s

like a really big competition,” said Emma. All three have been working hard in

preparation for the Games. “Mostly we’re kind of perfecting our rou-

tines and just tweaking them a bit,” Kayley explained. “We have a routine for each event, and then vault we do whatever rou-tine we’re working on. There are four rou-tines. It’s hard to explain, but everyone’s is different.”

Kayley has also been giving the other girls an idea of what the competition and atmo-sphere will be like, since it is her second time to the Games.

She said her favourite part of being at those games was seeing the older kids com-pete, though she admitted it was a bit over-whelming since she was just 11 at the time.

Head Coach Garry Ricks said the Games are an experience for the girls, especially the two who haven’t been yet.

“They are new to the Games experience

and the multi sport, so I think that whole at-mosphere is going to be exciting for them,” Ricks said. “I think they all have a strong event that they could do well in.”

He said this year is one of the stronger Zone 1 teams that they’ve sent and three gymnasts from Nelson will also be joining them.

“It’s really different when you go to a multi sport, versus just a competition,” he said. “They’ve all done well in their catego-ries throughout last year.”

He said this will be somewhere between his 17th and 20th Games as a coach. The Games used to be held every year up until 1997.

“I think it’s about my 18th games,” he said. “When you’re bringing new kids in it’s always exciting to see what they think of it. I think if they concentrate and put all the dis-tractions of the games behind, I think they’ll do really well.”

It’s playoff time for the Ava-lanche men’s volleyball team.

The Avs were able to keep their grasp on sixth place in the Pacwest standings, but climbed up to fifth after Vancouver Is-land University suffered a pair of losses in the final weekend of the regular season.

Though tied in points, the Avs have won more sets over the course of the season, which gave them the edge.

With the bye in the final weekend, the Avs were able to get some well-deserved rest to prepare for the upcoming pro-vincial championships, hosted by the Capilano University Blues.

“We had a bye this past weekend—the only team in the league—and I think it was really beneficial for us just to come back home, rest a little bit and have a mental and physical

break.” said Avs head coach Steve Kamps.

“The guys are looking ener-getic, got their jump back and had a chance to mend a few aches and pains that you get at this time of year.

“Mentally, they’re looking really sharp, had a chance to watch some video and prepare a game plan for Capilano, so we’re feeling very good about things.”

The Avs and the Blues have faced each other four times—twice in each other’s home court—and Capilano has the season series edge with three wins and one loss.

However, there’s more to it behind the numbers.

The two teams first met at the College of the Rockies gym in November, and the Avs mounted a comeback after fall-ing in to a two-set deficit to lose out in the tiebreak. The re-match, which the Blues won in

four sets, featured some tight set scores as well.

The two teams also met in North Vancouver, when the Avs closed out their season earlier in February, leaving with a split record of a win and a loss.

Both matches went to five sets, as the Avs won the first, but lost out on the following re-match.

Those kind of results are en-couraging for the Avs, who are eager to roll into provincials and be a contender.

“We’re excited for the matchup,” said Kamps. “I think we do match up very good against Capilano. They are playing in their own gym, but sometimes that means more pressure and they’re a team that hasn’t been playing great as of late—they’ve been strug-gling with some injuries—so I think it’s good timing for us to face them right now.”

The Avalanche-Blues match,

one of the tournament quarter-finals, will go down on Thurs-day night at 9 p.m. Should the Avs win, they will face the Co-lumbia Bible College Bearcats in the semifinals.

Though it’s playoffs, there is no series here, as each match is a one-and-done deal. If you lose, you’re out.

“It’s single-elimination so you’ve obviously got to show up and play,” said Kamps. “There’s such parity in the league this year from first place to seventh place, it was so close with teams beating up on each other every weekend, it’s anybody’s tourna-ment.”

SportSHumphries, Moyes defend Olympic bobsled gold

C anadian Press

SOCHI, Russia - The silver streak is over, thanks to Kaillie Hum-phries and Heather Moyse.

The reigning Olympic women’s bobsled cham-pions retained their title Wednesday and gave Canada its first gold medal since Day 5 of the Sochi Games.

It appeared Hum-phries and Moyse, the dominant duo on the World Cup circuit, might

be forced to settle for yet another Canadian silver. But despite trailing Americans Elana Meyers and Lauryn Williams with two runs to go, the Canadians reached the top of the podium with a consistency that their ri-vals couldn’t match.

“Winning gold is amazing, but walking away satisfied is better,” Calgary native Hum-phries said. “After the third run I knew that if we did the business we

could be on top.”The gold medal was

the first for Canada in over a week. Dara How-ell gave the country its fourth gold of the Games last Tuesday, but Canada hadn’t topped the podi-um since. The medals continued to come in, however, with Canada winning six silver and two bronze during the golden drought.

The bobsled gold was Canada’s only medal at Day 13 of the Olympics,

but both curling four-somes ensured more hardware will be on the way. Winnipeg’s Jennifer Jones beat Great Britain 6-4 in the women’s semi-final, while Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., downed China 10-6 in the men’s semifinal.

And Canada also moved closer to defend-ing its gold in men’s hockey, though it was far from easy. Canada had to hang on for a nail-bit-ing 2-1 win over Latvia in

a quarter-final that was expected to be a blow-out.

Canada was in fifth in the overall medal stand-ings with 18 (five gold, nine silver, four bronze). The United States leads with 23 medals, followed by host Russia and the Netherlands with 22 each. Norway, which has a leading nine gold med-als, is in fourth with 20 overall.

Canada will have to perform exceptionally

over the final five days of competition to have a shot at its goal of win-ning the most overall medals in Sochi, but Humphries and Moyse kept the country in the hunt.

While a medal was all but assured for Canada entering the final two runs, a gold was in seri-ous doubt. Humphries and Moyse trailed Mey-ers and Williams by .23 seconds entering the final two runs.

While a quarter sec-ond is a comfortable lead by bobsled stan-dards, Moyse thought there was still a chance to defend the gold.

“We said last night anything can happen at the Olympic Games,” said Moyse of Summer-side, P.E.I. “You gave to believe anything is pos-sible. Even the last two days we knew where we stood but we couldn’t stop believing because anything was possible.”

Humphries and Moyse were consistently fast on their final two runs, while the Ameri-cans struggled with con-trol. In the end the USA-1 sled came up short on its final run, giving Canada the win by a tenth of a second.

“I had no idea how close I was in the last run,” Humphries said. “Heather did and said we closed the gap. I just gave it all we had and wanted one more clean run and see what hap-pens. To get the gold and complete the job is awe-some.”

Team Canada had

some company in the area of tense games. On the curling ice, Jones needed to make a key shot in the final end against world champion Great Britain in order to move on to the final.

Jones showed why she’s one of the best under pressure, drawing to the four-foot against three British counters to secure the win.

She improved to 10-0 in Sochi, with only Swed-ish skip Margaretha Sig-fridsson in the way of a perfect Olympic run. The women’s final is Thursday.

“It’s crazy to think that we’re going to be on that podium, I’m not going to lie,” Jones said. “It was an emotional win.

“We’ve dreamed of this since we were little girls ... We’re going to be on that podium no mat-ter what. Nobody can ever take that away from us. It’s pretty exciting and something we’re going to celebrate, but right now we’re focused on trying to play well (Thursday).”

Jacobs blew a tight game against China open with three in the ninth end. After a rough start in Sochi, the Cana-dian champion will face Great Britain on Friday with a second straight Olympic gold medal on the line.

“To get another medal for all of Team Canada is a great feeling, but at the same time, we want to come out and we want to get that gold,” Jacobs said.

Not even a minute later, Luke Philp came in on a breakaway and ripped a shot over Langhamer’s glove to knot the affair up at 2-2.

Then Jaedon Descheneau received a ridiculous pass from Reinhart and beat Langhamer on another breakaway for a one-goal lead with 2:23 remaining in the game.

Medicine Hat then pulled Langhamer for the extra attacker, however, a turnover at the neutral zone allowed Reinhart to skate the puck in for an easy empty-net goal.

Bozon added another goal with a wide open cage in the final dozen seconds.

Needless to say, the late scoring made for a nail-biting finish.

“We stayed composed, stuck with it,” said Rein-hart. “Good teams find a way to bounce back and with time running out, Luke [Philp] had a really big goal and we kept going from there.”

The Ice are back in action this weekend as de-fenceman Tyler King will face his former team in a home and home series with the Spokane Chiefs.

Nets trade Kings veteransBrian Mahoney

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - The Brooklyn Nets acquired guard Marcus Thornton from the Sacramento Kings for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans on Wednesday, removing two little-used veterans from their aging roster and hoping a younger one can rediscover his scoring touch.

Terry came from Boston along with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce but has appeared in just 35 games after a knee injury, averaging 4.5 points on 36 per cent shooting. Evans was a

favourite of fans but not coach Jason Kidd, who used him in just 30 of their 51 games.

Evans made 56 starts last season and led the Nets with 11.1 rebounds per game, but lost his starting spot when the Nets acquired Garnett, and then fell behind rookie Mason Plumlee in Kidd’s rotation.

Thornton averaged 21.3 points in 23 games with the Kings in 2010-11 after being acquired in a midseason trade with New Orleans.

He then led the Kings with 18.7 points per game in 2011-12, but has fallen out of favour

under defensive-mind-ed coach Michael Malone, even getting benched at one point to make way for rookie Ben McLemore.

“Marcus is a proven scorer in this league,” Nets general manager Billy King said in a state-ment. “He is a young talent who will help us in the backcourt.”

But Thornton is aver-aging just 8.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes per game this season. He has started 26 of 46 games and is shooting 38 per cent from the floor, in-cluding 31 per cent from 3-point range.

The C anaDian PreSS

TORONTO - D.J. Augustin scored 13 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter against his former team to help lead the Chicago Bulls to a 94-92 victo-ry over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.

Carlos Boozer led the Bulls with 20 points, Kirk Hinrich scored 19 points and Joakim Noah recorded 13 assists.

DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors with a game-high 32 points, Kyle Lowry added 16 points, but shot just 4-for-13.

The Bulls showed little rust despite having the week off with the all-star break. Playing against a Raptors team that played the night before in

Washington, Chicago came out strong and led by 10 at the end of the first quarter.

Tensions were high be-tween the teams early as Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau and Lowry each picked up techni-cal fouls in the first quarter. Tempers flared early in the second quarter as Chicago’s Nazr Mohammed and Toron-to’s Tyler Hansbrough got en-tangled and were each called for a technical foul.

Chicago would continue to add to its lead, pulling ahead by as many as 15 before the Raptors called a timeout mid-way through the second quar-ter. Coming out of the timeout, Toronto reeled off a 14-2 run before trailing 48-41 at the

half.The Bulls refused to relin-

quish their lead in a third quarter where the intensity re-mained high with DeRozan and Boozer called for double technicals. Hansbrough once again found himself tangled with a Bulls player, this time Mike Dunleavy, and the two picked up double fouls.

Chicago led 70-62 after three quarters, and back-to-back three-pointers from Au-gustin to open the fourth put the Bulls up by 10.

The Bulls got stops when they needed them down the stretch and escaped with a victory after DeRozan’s 43-foot heave at the buzzer missed the mark.

Palma de Mallor-ca is the only city and the cap-ital city of

Spain’s Balearic Islands. Located on the south coast of Spain in the Bay of Palma, the population of Palma is about 500,000. The island itself is only 21 square kilome-tres, just 13 metres above sea level.

Palma de Mallorca is now a very popular hol-iday destination, espe-cially for Europeans, but it wasn’t always that way.

Palma was founded by the Romans in 123 BC. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the is-land was conquered by the Byzantine. Between 902 and 1229, it was under Islamic control. The Moors arrived in the 8th century, with a thriving economy based on piracy. For many years following, Palma became a main port for receiving and launching of pirate attacks.

Fast forward a few centuries and the island became a prosperous seaport and agricultural base.

With the introduc-tion of tourism in the 1950s, Palma secured a spot as an attractive holiday destination. With all the different rulers over the centu-ries, the architecture is unique and the culture is a curious blend of ideologies.

Palma has a pleasant climate year round, with average temperatures in winter of 15 degrees Celsius and in summer, 28 degrees Celsius. It has relatively low pre-cipitation and average monthly sunshine hours between 200 and 300.

High season is July and August, which you would probably want to avoid because of the crowds, but other months would be desir-able. Some hotels close for the winter months, similar to much of the

Greek islands.Some attractions on

Mallorca include La Seu, a cathedral that was originally a mosque and took almost 400 years to build. Then it received a major resto-ration in 1901 by the fa-mous architect, Antoni Gaudi.

The Old City is a maze of streets with an Arab past; most are pe-destrian only, because you could never ma-noeuvre vehicles through them!

The banys arabs (arab baths) are a rem-nant of the Moorish era, near the Cathedral in the Old City. Two rooms of the original baths are still open to visitors, but the rest of the facility has fallen into disrepair.

There are great cy-cling paths all along the sea promenade and throughout the city. There are many beauti-ful beaches, and sailing and boating are very popular.

Palma is a port stop on some Mediterranean cruises, or you can fly there from the conti-nent, or take the ferry from Barcelona.

There is a vibrant nightlife, especially in the Paseo Maritimo,

which is the whole strip of promenade along the sea, with many bars, restaurants and discos. Tito’s was a popular spot in the 1950s for Frank Sinatra, Marlena Diet-rich and Ray Charles, and is still operating

today.One of my favourite

memories of Palma was enjoying a pamboli (kind of a pizza sand-wich) with a jug of san-gria under the umbrel-las of a small open air restaurant in the main

square, with roving fla-menco dancers enter-taining the tourists and residents alike.

For more informa-tion, contact Carla Nel-son, Branch Manager, Maritime Travel 250-489-4788.

Once a haven for pirates, the city of Palma de Mallorca is now a tourism hotspot in Spain.

MONTREAL — Ca-nadian cities, led by Vancouver, dominate North America’s Top Five list for quality of life, according to a sur-vey issued by global business consultant Mercer.

Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal took the next three spots, followed by San Francisco, accord-ing to the 2014 Mercer Quality of Living rank-ings.

The only weakness in ranking Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal compared with Vancouver was their harsher winters,

said Luc Lalonde, a principal at Mercer Canada.

“It basically boils down to climate be-cause Vancouver has a relatively mild climate,’’ Lalonde said Wednes-day.

The study also looked at such factors as political stability, crime statistics, public and medical services, con-sumer goods and recre-ation. The quality of liv-ing index is used by companies to help de-termine compensation for their employees working abroad.

Ottawa ranked 14th globally, while Toronto

was 15th and Montreal 23rd.

Globally, Vienna has been the top ranked city for the last three years, while Vancouver re-tained its fifth-place spot, Lalonde said.

Zurich was No. 2 worldwide for quality of life, followed by Auck-land, New Zealand and Munich, Germany.

Lalonde said the rankings don’t usually change dramatically from year to year.

“Wherever you have stability, good infra-structure and if the envi-ronment is politically and socially stable and if you have good public

services, these things don’t change overnight.’’

Cities with the lowest rankings in North Amer-ica included Mexico City, financially trou-bled Detroit, St. Louis, Houston and Miami.

Although Miami and Houston are popular destinations, factors such as crime, air pollu-tion and traffic conges-tion could have affected their scores, Lalonde said.

The city with the low-est ranking globally was strife-ridden Baghdad, followed by Bangui in Central African Repub-lic and N’djamena in Chad.

JASON STR AZIUSOAssociated Press

NAIROBI, Kenya — Two American security officers have been found dead on a ship made famous when it was hijacked by Somali pirates, according to a statement by Sey-chelles police on Wednesday.

The two Americans — Jeffrey Reynolds and Mark Kennedy, both 44 — were found dead Tuesday in a cabin on the Maersk Alabama, according to the police. The ship was hijacked by pirates in 2009, an event dramatized in the movie “Captain Phil-lips’’ starring Tom Hanks.

The two men’s bod-ies were found on Tues-day in their cabin on the ship where it was berthed in Port Victoria in the Indian Ocean is-land nation of Sey-chelles.

The police gave no cause of death but said a post mortem has been scheduled.

The U.S. Coast Guard stated from its head-quarters in Washington that it is also investigat-

ing the deaths.The two men worked

for U.S.-based Trident Security, according to the Seychelles police statement. Former mili-tary personnel frequent-ly provide security on board ships sailing through the waters off Somalia to provide se-curity against pirate at-tacks.

Trident Security was founded by former U.S. Navy SEALs in 2000 and employs former special warfare operators to provide security. Re-quests to Trident for in-formation about the two men were not immedi-ately answered on Wednesday.

The Maersk Line said the cause of death is under investigation but is “not related to vessel operations or their du-ties as security person-nel.’’

The Maersk Ala-bama’s home port is in Norfolk, Va., where its parent company Maersk Line, Ltd. is also headquartered. The Maersk Alabama trans-ports food aid to East Africa in support of the U.S. government’s

“Food for Peace’’ pro-gram, according to the company. Crew mem-bers also help support the Bee Hive Children’s Home in Mombasa, Kenya.

Several crew mem-bers who were aboard the ship when it was hi-jacked in 2009 are cur-rently suing Maersk Line Ltd. and Mobile, Ala.-based Waterman Steamship Corp. over the attack. The hijacking captured world head-lines in 2009 and again when the movie, “Cap-tain Phillips’’ was re-leased recently.

The five-day hijack-ing standoff ended when Navy SEALs aboard the USS Bain-bridge shot and killed three of the pirates who were holding Capt. Richard Phillips in a life-boat.

Nine crew members in the lawsuit filed in Alabama in 2012 say they suffered physical and emotional injuries after Somali pirates boarded. Some crew members were held at gunpoint with Phillips, and others hid in an en-gine room.

The disappearance of a Canadian film-maker in the Cambo-dian city of Siem Reap appeared all the more mysterious Wednes-day as friends and family said the 58-year-old man was no stranger to his sur-roundings.

Dave Walker spoke the language, knew the streets and was famil-iar with the local cul-ture.

Walker, who had been living in Cambo-dia for the past year and a half, was staying at a guest house last week when he decided to step out while a housekeeper tended to his room.

He apparently left his room Friday after-noon with only a bottle of water and never re-turned.

“This is completely out of character for him,’’ Walker’s cousin, Tammy Wallbridge Madon told The Cana-dian Press. “All indica-tions were that he was going to be coming

back and he never did come back.’’

Walker’s disappear-ance was first noticed by his Cambodian business partner, Sonny Chhoun, who came to the guest-house on Friday eve-ning to meet with him.

Chhoun found Walker’s cellphone, laptop, luggage and passport still in his room, but staff at the guest house said they hadn’t seen the Cana-dian in hours.

After Walker failed to turn up that night, Chhoun contacted local police and has been searching parts of the city looking for the Canadian, who hasn’t been heard from since.

A local media re-port said the Austra-lian embassy — which handles consular cases in Cambodia for the Canadian govern-ment — had filed an official missing per-sons report on Walker in the capital city of Phnom Penh.

The Phnom Penh Post quoted a police

Canadian filmmaker missing in Cambodia; friends find disappearance unusual

officer saying authori-ties were worried for Walker’s safety and were searching for him.

Walker and Chhoun had set up a film com-pany in Siem Reap in July 2012 called Animist Farm Films. Siem Reap is located just south of the famous Angkor Wat ruins, which draw hordes of tourist every year.

The pair had recent-ly been working on a documentary about the radical Khmer Rouge regime, which left close to two million people dead from star-vation, medical ne-glect, slave-like work-ing conditions and exe-cution.

Walker’s abrupt dis-

appearance had his friends and family fear-ing the worst.

“This is very unusu-al,’’ said Peter Vronsky, who last heard from Walker on Thursday. “No one has seen him on the streets.’’

Vronsky said miss-ing person posters were being distributed in Siem Reap in the hopes that someone would come forward with information on Walker.

Friends and family are also hoping Canadi-an officials will urge Cambodian authorities to actively search for the man.

“We’re concerned this not being made a priority,’’ said Vronsky.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have much to think about and consider. You might need to mellow out a bit. You will have an important and long-overdue discussion with a loved one or an associate. The less that is said to others, the better off you will be. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You seem ready to make a dream a reality. A partner or several other people might want to pitch in, especially if this idea could affect them too. An upbeat attitude will help you feel more connected to others than you have in the past. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Take news with a grain of salt. A boss might have a lot to say, and will talk openly if you seem interested in what he or she has to share. Use caution with your finances. A risk might not pay off in the way you’d hoped it would. Tonight: Get a head start on to-morrow’s work.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Events could put you more in touch with your dynamic ener-gy. Look at the long-term im-plications when looking at the big picture. A situation might not evolve as you might wish it would. Do more listening and sharing. Tonight: Get into week-end mode. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to spend more time at home. Use your instincts to achieve a better sense of har-mony with a loved one. Indulge in more time together. A change in your schedule could force changes to happen elsewhere in your life. Tonight: Order in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to examine what is happening in your im-mediate environment. Make calls, catch up on news and clear your desk. You will come up with a more efficient way of handling key matters. Others will come through for you. Tonight: Spend time with a loved one. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Listen to what is being shared, but hold back for now on shar-

ing what you know. A partner might do the unexpected. You could be upset, but you also do enjoy the excitement that this person brings to your life. To-night: Do some shopping on the way home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be in the middle of all the action. Take the lead, prior-itize and delegate; otherwise, too many key details could be missed. You understand the implications of what is going on better than most people do. Tonight: Think “weekend.” Make plans. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You move through details quick-ly, yet one could slip past you and ultimately sabotage your plans. Slow down or recheck your work. You also might need to consider getting a second person to work with you on this project. Maintain your sense of humor. Tonight: Ever playful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Call on your self-discipline. Use your sixth sense to tune in to the obvious dynamics of a particular matter. Someone could appear

to be almost too generous. Pull back while you can, and see what is happening with this per-son. Tonight: Get together with friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel as if you have an additional responsibility weighing you down. Stop and look at what is happening in-stead of continuing as you have been. Look at the big picture to see your options more clearly. Choose a more easygoing pace. Tonight: A must appearance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You see life very differently from how many of the people around you see it. As a result, others of-ten are inspired and/or confused by you. At the moment, use your instincts to proceed with an important matter. You will land on your feet. Tonight: Read be-tween the lines. BORN TODAY Actor Sidney Poitier (1927), mu-sician Kurt Cobain (1967), race car driver Bobby Unser (1934) ***

Dear Annie: One of our darling grand-daughters started to pull out her eyelashes at around age 9. We expressed our concern to our son. Shortly after, we were told that our granddaughter was seeing a counsel-or to address this behavior. We were so re-lieved when she stopped. But about a year later, she started again. Now her 9-year-old brother is pulling hair out of his head. He has a bald spot about two inches in diameter. Our son and his wife have education de-grees. The marriage and family appear OK. The kids seem happy, and they do well in school. I recently brought up the counsel-ing to our son, but he said, “We tried that.” He indicated that the kids will stop on their own. Is stress causing this? How involved should we get? Right now, we feel like it’s the ele-phant in the room. -- Blue-Collar Grandpar-ents Dear Grandparents: Trichotillomania is a disorder that results in compulsive hair pulling. It is currently considered to be a “body-focused repetitive behavior.” There also may be a genetic predisposition, which would explain why both of your grandchil-dren suffer from it. Sometimes stress, anxi-ety or fatigue can trigger the hair pulling, but not always. Doctors do not know the underlying cause but believe it may develop due to a combi-nation of genetic, hormonal, emotional and environmental factors. Appropriate treat-ment involves cognitive behavioral therapy, sometimes in combination with medication, hypnosis and relaxation techniques. Your son and his wife may already be taking the necessary steps, but either way, you can get more information through the Trichotillo-mania Learning Center at trich.org. Dear Annie: I recently learned that a friend’s son died from a heart attack. He was relatively young. I was both saddened and shocked. I was more despondent that my friend and his current (third) wife did not attend his son’s funeral. They live in another state, but still. It was his son. We’ve been friends for more than 50 years, but it makes me realize he wouldn’t bother attending my funeral, ei-ther. Annie, should I dissolve our friendship? Should I tell him how shocked and disap-pointed I am? Or should I simply overlook it? -- Sensitive, Caring Person Dear Sensitive: While not attending his son’s funeral seems callous, is it possible that your friend has health issues that pre-vented him from traveling? Might he and his son have been estranged and his presence at the funeral unwelcome? You can let him know that you were surprised he didn’t at-tend the funeral, but he is under no obliga-tion to satisfy your curiosity. Limiting the friendship because you believe he no lon-ger cares enough about you is a legitimate concern, but cutting off a 50-year friendship because he might not attend your funeral is excessive. How your friend treats you while you are alive is what counts Dear Annie: This is in response to those individuals who invite family, friends and neighbors to their home for dinner and then feel slighted because the invitation is not re-ciprocated. Many years ago, when invited to some-one’s home, I did return the invitation. But it always made me nervous to entertain. I’d lose sleep, worry about what to serve, won-der whether I’d have enough food or wheth-er my dinner would turn out well. I finally decided that it just was not worth the anxiety to keep having people over. I will occasionally host an informal gather-ing at my home, nothing fancy. Thank good-ness I have friends who know that entertain-ing makes me anxious. They still invite me to their homes and ask me to bring a salad, a dessert or a bottle of wine. Some of us just aren’t meant to host parties. -- I’m Not Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.

CHANCE!

The protesters claim that the government in-filtrated agents provo-cateurs into their crowd to start the violence, and the police certainly fought alongside Yanu-kovych’s supporters in the street battles there. More than a dozen people were killed, in-cluding six police, but the fighting in front of parliament was over by mid-afternoon.

It might have stopped there, but Ya-nukovych decided to use this calamity as an excuse to clear Eu-romeydan by force, al-though there had been no fighting there. That was when the police announced that they were launching an “an-ti-terror operation,” and the main assault began around six in the

evening. The death toll by morning was at least 25, and the protesters still held most of the square.

Even if they subse-quently lose control of the Euromeydan, they will not give up now. What is happening in Ukraine is no longer a non-violent protest against a particular government policy. It is a revolution in which both sides are starting to see violence as legit-imate, and Yanu-kovych’s problem is that most people in the capital, though they don’t approve of the vi-olence, support the other side.

Yanukovych now has a lot of blood on his hands: if he loses this battle, he will end up in jail or in exile. Protest-

ers are seizing control of city centres in west-ern Ukraine, while his supporters in the east and south are not lift-ing a finger to help him. And the country’s most powerful oligarch (some would say king-maker), Rinat Akhmetov, has just de-clared that there are “no circumstances that would justify the use of force against peaceful citizens.”

Yanukovych has run out of options. It is hard to see him staying in office unless he turns Ukraine into a full-scale police state, and it’s not easy to see how he could make that stick. The opposition is prob-ably going to win. Then they’ll have to figure out what they want, apart from an end to Yanukovych.
