Over 50 international and Canadian students from Kimberley, Invermere, Golden, and Revelstoke travelled to an NHL hockey game in Calgary, Alberta on December 29, 2013. It was a close game with the visiting Vancouver Canucks beating the Calgary Flames by a final score of 2-0. Two Kimberley-based international students had the special opportunity to ride on the Zamboni between the first and second periods. Pictured is Gina from Germany, a student at Selkirk Secondary School. For more photos, visit facebook.com/rmisp or instagram.com/rmisp.

Kimberley residents have an opportunity to have a look at future Olympians on January 18 and 19 as the Kimberley Nordic Club hosts the Teck Kootenay Cup races.

The Teck Kootenay Cup is a series of races which offer affordable, accessible competitive opportunities for developing athletes living in the Kootenays. It includes interval start, mass start and individual sprint races held annually at different locations throughout the re-gion.

Club points are accumulated from race to race and a club aggre-gate is awarded to the club with the most points at the end of the final race. Kimberley is hosting races number three and four.

Feeding deer still an issue

A reminder from the bylaw officerC AROLYN GR ANT

[email protected]

Feeding deer has been an issue in Kimberley for quite some time, especially in the win-ter months. There has been a No Feeding bylaw in place for sever-al years, and last year, following recommendations from the Kimberley Urban Deer Commit-tee, the fine for feeding deer was raised to $500.

That, along with a lot of edu-cation, appears to be helping, but Bylaw Officer Rich Klekowski says he is still seeing instances of possible feeding and would like to remind people that it is against the law.

Klekowski says there appears to be a bit of a problem in Marys-ville.

“I’m seeing a lot of deer gath-ering in one spot, and as people drive past they are nosing up to look for food. They are obviously being fed by someone.”

The no feeding bylaw does not just cover putting out feed for deer.

“The fine for feeding deer or casing deer to be fed is $500,” Klekowski said. “The fine for permitting deer to be fed on a property occupied as permanent or semi permanent place of resi-dence is $500. Please do not feed the deer.”

Kimberley City Council voted late in 2013 to undertake a limit-ed cull of up to 15 deer in Marys-ville and up to 15 in the Blarch-mont, Chapman Camp area.

The call for quotations for contractors to perform the cull is out and closes this Friday, Janu-ary 10, 2014.

CHRISTMAS TREE DISPOSAL

The Regional District of East Kootenay Transfer Station is the designated area for disposal of Christmas trees. All residents are encouraged to have their discarded trees delivered to this area.

City trucks will make one pass through each neighbourhood on or after January 13, 2014 to pick up any remaining trees. If you are unable to dispose of your own tree, please leave it at your garbage collection location in a manner that will not conflict with snow removal equipment.

Who benefits from the BC Liberal Energy Plan?

Norm macdoNald MLA Columbia River –

Revelstoke

In my previous two MLA reports I’ve talked about the reasons that your BC Hydro rates are going up. I’ve laid out examples of BC Liberal interference in BC Hydro decisions and the ways that those decisions are now costing you money.

But the question has to be asked: Was it sim-ply incompetence by the BC Liberals, or was there a larger agenda at work?

Too often over the last 12 years we have watched as government actions have allowed the transference of public assets into private hands, and friends and support-ers of the BC Liberals have consistently been the beneficiaries.

For decades, British Columbians benefitted greatly from having ac-cess to affordable power locally generated by BC Hydro. And British Co-lumbians benefitted greatly because BC Hydro, which is public-ly-owned, contributed hundreds of millions of dollars in dividends to the general revenue of the province. This was an excellent example of a public asset used for public good.

A very effective ener-gy lobby group was es-tablished and they worked closely with gov-

MLA report

ernment to figure out a way to begin to transfer that public wealth into private hands. The only way it could be done was for the government to implement a wide range of legislative changes which were laid out in the BC Liberal Energy Plan.

Through legislation, BC Hydro was forbidden from building new power projects, and was mandated to purchase new energy from private power producers, pri-marily through ‘run-of-river’ projects. Private companies were allowed to ‘stake’ rivers and creeks across British Co-lumbia for only a small fee. And then private

companies signed long-term power purchase agreements with BC Hydro at exorbitant rates. These contracts were so lucrative that they provided these companies with enough collateral to raise the capital to build hydro projects on formerly wild rivers and creeks.

In the end, these pri-vate companies have taken over access to our rivers, our water and our land; privatizing a public asset using public money while being pro-tected from market forc-es through contracts that are now bankrupting our Crown corporation.

And how much money has been made at our expense? How much will this gold rush in British Columbia’s en-ergy sector cost BC Hydro ratepayers? Esti-mates for long-term con-tracts are as high as $50 billion.

That’s a bill that is going to take ratepayers a very long time to pay off.

Activist organizes farmed salmon protest in Cranbrook

TowNsmaN sTaff

A protest will be held later this month outside Superstore in Cranbrook.

Environmental ac-tivist Audry Lochrie is organizing a boycott of net-pen farmed salmon outside the Cranbrook grocery store on Saturday, Jan. 18 from noon to 2 p.m.

“Concerned citi-zens are raising aware-ness to help Super-store customers make informed decisions, and choose not to buy contaminated net-pen farmed salmon,” said Lochrie.

Lochrie is appeal-ing to Superstore management to stop selling Atlantic farmed salmon at its stores.

“The boycott will be a further show to request that net-pen farmed salmon, other-wise known as Atlantic farmed salmon, be re-moved from their coolers over health concerns,” she said.

“Last year, a re-quest was sent to the Director of Sustain-

ability at Loblaws, which oversees Super-stores, to have net-pen farmed salmon re-moved from their stores. So far, a re-sponse has not been received or even ac-knowledged. This is why the boycott action is being intensified at their stores.”

Boycotts will take place outside Super-stores throughout B.C. and in Atlantic Cana-da.

“People are con-cerned, not only about

what the open-net feedlot aquaculture industry is doing to the marine environ-ment and wild salm-on, but also the poten-tial harm to human health, especially chil-dren and pregnant mothers,” said Lochrie.

For more informa-tion on the Cranbrook farmed salmon boy-cott, contact Audry Lochrie: audr [email protected] or 250-444-7077.

On behalf of the Kimberley Garden Club, I would like to wish everyone a great gardening season this year. Seed catalogues are arriving in the mail - I think I hear all those shiny pictures of blooming flowers and ripe vegetables calling to me, because from where I sit, I see a very white winter landscape!

In the meantime, I have been enjoying my blooming house plants, the Christmas cactus that are all putting on such a fantastic show and the Amaryllis. I am thinking about bring-ing a pot of hyacinths into the light and warmth of the house so that they will start blooming.

Our Garden Club had an interesting and fun 2013, starting in January when we brain-stormed ideas for edu-cational programs about gardening tech-niques. In February,

we were treated to a wonderful slide show of garden flowers and a

talk on how we could take great photographs of our own gardens.

March’s topic was all about growing and overwintering tender s u m m e r- b l o o m i n g bulbs. In April, we learned about growing and using edible flow-ers and herbs. May’s topic was the ever-pop-ular deer-proofing our gardens against our hungry local herds. Late in May we offered a huge variety of vege-table seedlings, house plants, flowers and shrubs for sale at our annual plant sale. June, July, August and Sep-tember saw us touring two member gardens a month, with our annual barbecue as well in Au-gust. October’s pro-gram was timely - planting spring and summer blooming bulbs, with a mention of planting Colchi-cums, in the hardy fall-blooming crocus family. November brought us back to a workshop where we all made evergreen cen-terpieces, and whatever else struck our fancies,

using the abundant va-riety of greens, grasses ornaments and cones that we all brought. In December we gathered and socialized at a member’s home for our annual pot luck appe-tizer and dessert Christmas get-together.

We will be having a brainstorming session again this year at our first meeting of the year on January 8th. If you are new to our area, and would like to learn more about gardening in Kimberley, feel free to join us at our month-ly meetings.

The Garden Club meets the second Wednesday of the month, from 7-9 pm in the Selkirk High School Library from October through May. In our winter sessions, we cover various garden-ing topics selected by the members. From June through Septem-ber, we tour two mem-bers gardens monthly and enjoy new gardens and changes to estab-

lished gardens. We welcome anyone who would like to learn more about gardening in Kimberley, whether you are new to garden-ing or new to the Kim-berley area. For more information on our meetings, call Nola at 250-427-1948. The Garden Club has web space at http://www.kootenaygardening.com. There are several

pages in the Kimberley Garden Club section listing deer-resistant plants. In addition to hosting pages for the Cranbrook, Kimberley and Trail Garden Clubs, this website is incredi-bly informative with a wealth of gardening in-formation and tech-niques.

Happy Dreams of Gardening.

H1N1 flu claims the life of B.C.

woman who was in her 50s; vac-cine supply tight

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — The Interior Health au-thority says a woman from British Columbia’s Okanagan has died after she contracted the same strain of flu that has claimed the lives of 16 people in the Prai-ries.

Senior medical offi-cer Dr. Rob Parker says lab reports confirm the woman who was in her 50s had the H1N1 virus.

The virus that has claimed the lives of six people in Saskatche-wan and 10 people in Alberta is also making its presence felt in southwestern B.C.

Two separate health authorities in the Metro Vancouver have report-ed that more than 20 people have been hos-pitalized with the virus.

Provincial medical health officer Dr. Perry Kendall says medical officials still don’t know whether one death in the Vancouver area can be blamed on the flu.

Parker says some

pharmacies could see temporary shortages of the vaccination be-cause the supply is tight.

”If we had less statesmanship, we would get along with fewer battleships.”

Mark Twain

My mother’s younger brother’s name was Charlie and he ran away in order to go to sea when he

was still only sixteen years old. This was, my father used to dare to josh, to get away from his sister, but I don’t think that was true. He was extremely fond of my Mum. Charlie was British to the core, and the sea was therefore his desti-ny, as it was to Drake, Cook, Vancouver and Nelson.

In the Royal Navy, Charlie invariably sailed ‘before the mast’ – a tough thing to do with so few masts around these days on battleships. As an ordinary seaman, he had little taste, he told me, for the respon-sibilities of steering whacking, great big ships, organizing things on board, aiming guns and sorting out the mess when the ship got sunk.

Charlie swam and rowed ashore a few times during the second Great War, once at the island of Malta, another time off Venezuela and once at Weston-super-mer, not far from his home port of Ports-mouth. He wasn’t impressed with Weston, he told me, after threatening to part my unruly hair with a bo’le; Charlie couldn’t

pronounce his ‘ts’. He was was a Cockney, fru and fru.

Although he was extremely stoic about things, my uncle reckoned that the Ger-man U-boats had it in for him and promptly sank any ship they thought he might be on, and so he had been thinking seriously about the future – if he was to

have one – and had come to the conclusion that, in the second part of his life, he might get a job and a wife and settle down but, assuredly, as far from the sea as he could possibly get. Enough was enough.

So the war ground to a halt and Charlie ‘pulled the plug’ as he put it, was patted nicely on the head by his commanding officer and thanked for his sturdy seamanship in swimming and rowing ashore, then demobilized.

Apparently, Uncle Charlie sat around Portsmouth for a few days and then took a train to London where he came to visit his sister, my mother. For a few days he sat around the place and told my sister and me stirring tales of the sea – and of being sunk – then maundered on about getting a job, a wife, and a place to live.

My father once asked Charlie why he didn’t marry one of those girls that all sailors have in every port, but Charlie merely winked at me and explained that

girls in ports live precariously near the ocean, and he’d had enough of that non-sense.

My father, I think, took Charlie’s tales with a pinch of salt. He had served in the Royal Flying Corps as a pilot but didn’t become a corpse or even crash into the sea and have to swim ashore like his brother–in-law because the war ground to a halt in time.

One day, Charlie purchased an oar from a second-hand shop then, with his kit bag repacked, he slung that oar over his shoulder and, with a glint in his eye, set off inland. He was going to haul that oar as far as he could until someone asked him what it was. Then, he assured us, he’d settle down etc etc.

We did get a card from Charlie from time to time but the trouble is: you can’t get far enough inland in England to find someone who doesn’t recognize an oar so Charlie – by plane, apparently – went to Africa where he ended up wifeless by Lake Victoria. Mum also heard from him once from some unpronounceable place in Asia near Lake Baikal, but still no men-tion of nuptials nor of jobs.

The last communication Mum received from her wayward brother was post-marked Peru. He was high in the Andes, as far from the sea as he could climb, near a lake called Titicaca. I often wondered if they’d recognize an oar up there.

One oar not in the water

The weather was unusually good for counting, with clear skies, mild tem-peratures and light winds. However, the species count was below average partly due to the unusual absence of several common species.

About 20 people divided themselves into four groups and got down to busi-ness of using their eyes and ears to de-tect birds in each of the four quadrants of our 14 kilometre radius circle. Inexpe-rienced birders welcomed the opportu-nity to partner with more knowledge-able naturalists, learning useful skills such as keeping quiet and focussing the binoculars quickly. On some occasions only one bird of a particular species was detected, heightening the need to ob-serve as many characteristics before the bird disappeared.

We looked at the perching silhouette, beak size and shape, and wing and tail configuration even if we couldn’t discern color or pattern of plumage. In flight, we noted the frequency of wingbeats, whether steady or intermittent, strong or weak, hovering, dipping or soaring. The type of habitat also provided strong clues; wetland or open forest, dense shrubbery or open grassland and of course ‘shopping cart corrals at superstore’ for the English Spar-row.

Occasionally, identification is a no-brainer in the case of a Ruffed Grouse walking in slow motion, an American Robin catching the sun or Bald Eagles overhead.

Absent from our list were the Pine Gros-beaks, Common Redpolls and Pine Sis-kins. It’s possible that the lack of heavy snow in the mid-elevations has not forced some birds into the lower elevations. Snow-encrusted trees make it more diffi-cult for birds to access conifer cones and shelter. Also, the relative lack of extreme cold, harsh weather has not caused some birds to migrate as far south into our area as usual.

Several regular ‘hot spots’ continued to provide an interesting selection of birds. Slaterville has a good variety of habitats with open water in lower Hospital Creek, diverse tree species and shrubbery (Shrike), and numerous active feeders. Green Bay also has ‘fish bearing’ open water (Pied-billed Grebe) and proximity to

several forest types as does the vicinity of the St. Eugene Mission (American Dipper). Urban areas have some good feeders and varied vegetation (Bohemi-an Waxwing). Of course, a visit to the primary treatment lagoons and nearby Joseph Creek ponds yielded Green-winged Teal, Goldeneye, Kingfisher and Song Sparrow.

One highlight of the day occurred as we began counting at Elizabeth Lake. A Rough-legged Hawk circled and hov-ered conveniently off to the east. A hawk of the north, these large birds breed in northern tundra and taiga regions around the northern hemisphere. Both dark and light forms are common, with many birds intermediate between the extremes. In flight, one good field clue is the dark marks at the ‘wrists’ of the long, broad wings.

The name ‘Rough-legged’ refers to the feathered legs. The Ferruginous Hawk and Golden Eagle are the only other North American Hawks to have legs feathered all the way to the toes.

These birds prefer open coniferous forests, tundra and generally barren country, breeding on cliffs or in trees. They winter also in grasslands and open cultivated areas of the East Kootenay where they eat small mammals and some birds. Rough-legged hawks will hunt from an elevated perch, or will hover frequently if in flight. There is no evidence of any change in North American breeding populations.

As can be seen from the list, the bird count is a useful exercise; we are fortunate to have a wide range of species frequenting our area. Thank you to all participants; we look forward to seeing you throughout the year.

Large number of participants turn out for Cranbrook Christmas Bird Count

It happened this week in CranbrookDave HumpHrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook

Museum and Archives

1900A Shame and a Disgrace … The citizens

of Cranbrook have reached the limit in school matters. They have pleaded and begged for relief, but to no avail. At the pres-ent time there are 125 children anxious to attend school, and their parents, perma-nent citizens of the town, are distracted over the lack of school facilities. One schoolroom and one teacher for 125 pupils. It is a shame and a disgrace. Crowding the room to the utmost, and giving the teacher 60 pupils to handle, which is too many for anyone, there are still 50 to 60 children un-able to enjoy the advantages of a school. An indignation meeting was held last night, and many citizens expressed themselves. Telegrams were sent to Premier Semlin and Col. Baker, demanding immediate relief. Another meeting will be held at Odd Fel-lows Hall this evening to consider the re-plies. Parents and citizens, you are all inter-ested in having proper school facilities. Turn out tonight. Keep the pot boiling.

1901 They Have Reached the Limit … We

Week January 5 – 11 have a few subscribers who have not paid their subscriptions for two or three years. If we published their names they would be highly incensed, yet they think nothing of allowing us to furnish them the paper at our expense. Next month if some of our readers fail to get the paper, they may un-derstand that they have reached the limit and the coin must be forthcoming. Unfor-tunately, we have to pay our debts. That is what keeps us poor.

A Runaway Train … Engineer Brock and Fireman Warnock got up against it Sunday while coming down the grade from the Fernie mine. The braker refused to work and the train got beyond control. As a result the train began turning reverse curves at a rate that prompted Brock and Warnock to jump for safety. They did so, and Warnock escaped uninjured but Brock was unlucky as usual and got pounded up badly but broke no bones. The train held the track and stopped at the foot of the grade.

Fine Residences … There has been a great change in the residences built during the past year. The day of the shack in Cran-brook is past and now the town boasts of residences as handsome as can be found in any city in British Columbia. Among some of the most attractive built during the past

year are the new C. P. R house for the divi-sional superintendent, that cost $6000; A. Leitch has a handsome home that over-looks the town from commanding emi-nence west of town; on Baker Hill there are the modern homes of M. Mclnnes, D. Mur-phy, J. H. Castlake, C. Magee, Presbyterian Manse, G, W. Patmore, E. E. Orchard, F. E Simpson, F. Clapp, W. S. Keay, Sydney, Ar-nold and Mrs. John R. Costigan. In the central part of town are the new residences of Rev. D. Holford, Mrs, O’Dell, James Greer, W. F. Tate, Methodist parsonage and Robinson & McKenzie.

New Homes … There will be between 25 and 50 new residences built in Cran-brook before the first of next July, and it is quite probable that the number will reach 75.

Runaways Galore … L. B. Van Decar’s team ran away last Friday scattering a cord of wood along the way; J. Patton’s delivery horse “got gay” yesterday afternoon and took a run for his health, completely de-molishing the rig; James Ryan’s team fur-nished a little excitement last Monday by giving an exhibition runaway. They scat-tered the wagon from the freight shed to Baker hill, and yet did no material damage.

Please detach and use the letter to request that your Grade 4 or 7 childbe withdrawn from the January and February 2014 FSA testing.

What Parents Need to Know

Dear Parents,

The Foundation Skills Assessment(FSA), given to Grade 4 and 7 students,does not count towards your child’smarks. The results do not activelysupport your child’s learning.

• FSA tests are expensive and waste money at a time when cuts are being made.• FSA tests do not help students learn or teachers teach.• FSA tests take valuable time away from more meaningful learning.• The data does not provide real help to students, parents, or schools.• The results are misused to rank schools and promote privatization.

Teachers in Cranbrook recommend that you write a letter to your school principal, or detach the following letter, requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA.

To learn more about your child’s progress and the real assessments done in the classroom, talk to her or his teacher.

A message from the Cranbrook Teachers’ Association

Dear Principal,

I understand that parents may request the principal to excuse a student in the event of a family emergency, lengthy illness, or other extenuating circumstances.

Please excuse my child __________________________________________________ ,from all three Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) tests for the following reason:

Thank you for your co-operation.

There might be eas-ier jobs — Rob Ford’s image con-

sultant pops to mind — but to understand the difficulty of Steve Yzer-man’s position, consider his relationship with Marty St. Louis.

In Yzerman’s day job, he’s the general manag-er of the Tampa Bay Lightning. St. Louis, as it happens, is the resident icon on this team. This season, St. Louis has also kept the surprising Bolts together with his scoring and his leader-ship in Steven Stamkos’s absence.

On Monday night, Yzerman had to tell St. Louis he wasn’t good enough to make the Ca-nadian Olympic team. This is the second time in four years he’s had to deliver this cheery bit of news to the player he owes so much.

“Very hard,” is how Yzerman described that conversation.

And this is even harder. For Yzerman, it doesn’t end there.

“Claude Giroux, Joe Thornton (two other stars who were left off Team Canada for Sochi) ... I can go on and on,” said the general manag-er of the Canadian men’s Olympic team. “I’m going to have to walk into rinks and see these players as well, and I don’t feel good about not putting any of them on the team.

“This is pro sports. These are difficult deci-sions. There’s not much I can say. I can’t apolo-gize.”

But there is good news. Now, under the relentless scrutiny of 30 million unpaid consul-tants, the real fun starts.

Tuesday, in a deep-freeze of a rink warmed only by the hot air of COC president Marcel Aubut, Yzerman, the rest of the Canadian management consor-tium and head coach Mike Babcock unveiled the team which will be-come a national obses-sion when the Olympic men’s hockey tourna-ment begins in just over a month. Four years ago,

the same braintrust and the same coach deliv-ered gold on home and native land, capping a delirious two-week cel-ebration which still echoes in our city and remains a watershed moment in our country.

But that was also four years ago. The Canadian hockey fan, as you must know, isn’t blessed with a long memory or a deep sense of perspec-tive.

No, this time around there is the usual and predictable assortment of surprise selections and glaring omissions. On the plus side of the ledger, especially for this province, the Canucks’ Dan Hamhuis earned a spot on the blueline with his rock-steady game and Victoria’s Jamie Benn garnered a forward spot after he was passed over for the summer orientation camp. The inclusion of Colorado’s Matt Duchene was also note-worthy, as was the Pen-guins’ Chris Kunitz, es-pecially in Giroux’s ab-sence.

There were, it goes without saying, other talking points to emerge from Tuesday’s an-nouncement and the merits of each selection will be beaten to death over the next couple of days. But after going through the same drill in Vancouver, you can say one thing for Yzer-man, Babcock et al.

They’re prepared for whatever the job throws at them.

“Everyone in Canada has an opinion on who should be on this team and nobody’s wrong,” Yzerman said. “No-body’s wrong because they’re all really good players.”

“ Well, I guess it’s all how you look at things,” Babcock answered when asked if he has the best or worst job in hockey.

“If you embrace op-portunities that aren’t guaranteed, then it’s the greatest job in hockey. If you want a sure thing, you don’t want this job.”

In assembling the battalion which will de-

fend the gold, Yzerman recalled 11 veterans from the Vancouver campaign as well as de-fenceman Jay Bouw-meester, who played eight years ago in Turin but didn’t make the Vancouver team. Most of those players were mortal locks — Crosby, Perry, Getzlaf, Toews, Keith, Weber, Doughty — and their quality is a known thing. As for the team’s moving parts — and goaltending is prin-cipal among these — they will go a long way in deciding the fate of the Maple Leaf in Rus-sia.

“We chose three goalies who could start,” Babcock said of the troi-ka which includes Ro-berto Luongo, Carey Price and Mike Smith.

“With the injury situ-ation we have in the Na-tional Hockey League, to say ‘this guy is your starter’ is foolish. Now that the team is an-nounced, we’ll go from here and decide what we’re going to do “

That, at least, has generally been the Ca-nadian way, and it’s made for some great drama in past Olympi-ads. In 2002, for exam-ple, Curtis Joseph start-ed in goal before he was succeeded by Marty Brodeur, who back-stopped Canada to the gold. In 2010, Brodeur gave way to Luongo, who was on the ice when Crosby scored the golden goal.

Babcock was asked what he’d learned in 2010.

“ It’s a fine line and in order to win, you have to line up the moon and the stars,” he said. “As Canadians, we watch the junior team and we’re disappointed (at their fourth-place finish in the recent WJC) but our expectations have to be reasonable.

“It’s hard to win.”Deep down, we know

that. But, in this coun-try, it’s harder to expect anything less.

The oddsmakers weren’t fazed by three road teams winning in the wild-card round. They’ve made two of those winners, the Saints and Chargers, big un-derdogs on Saturday in the divisional round.

Recent history has shown that home field usually is meaningful in these four games, with only one visitor winning in each of the past two seasons. Only twice since 2002, when the current setup began, has there been a sweep by the four hosts, though; never have all visiting clubs won in the divi-sional round.

Such numbers should make everyone search for that one or two road squads who might pull off another win. We think we’ve found the right one: the thawed-out 49ers (13-4).

``I haven’t found anything that makes you

feel more like a man than to go, not only beat your opponent, but you’re beating their crowd, and then, the ele-ments, in a playoff game,’’ says coach Jim Harbaugh, whose 49ers (No. 3, AP Pro32) won on the final play at frigid Green Bay in the open-ing round and are 2-point choices Sunday at Carolina (No. 4, AP Pro32).

The Panthers (12-4) had one of their most impressive victories in a turnaround season when they won at San Francisco 10-9 on Nov. 10. Neither side has for-gotten that defensive battle in which the 49ers lost tight end Vernon Davis and rookie safety Eric Reid to concus-sions.

Plus, wide receiver Michael Crabtree was still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. He’s back, as are Davis and Reid.

BEST BET: 49ers, 23-16

No. 7 New Orleans (plus 8) at No. 1 Seattle,

SaturdayNow that they have

the first road playoff win in franchise history, can the Saints (12-5) start a winning streak away from New Orleans. That’s not exactly a Big Easy for them in Seattle, where the Seahawks

routed the Saints 34-7 on Dec. 2.

Yes, the Seahawks lost their invincibility at CenturyLink Field by losing to Arizona three weeks ago. Contrary to the widespread opinion that it was an especially damaging defeat, we think it helped the Sea-hawks (13-3) recognize their vulnerability. They won’t slip up again, al-

though this won’t be anything close to that previous romp.

SEAHAWKS, 24-20No. 8 Indianapolis

(plus 7 1-2) at No. 5 New England, Saturday

The stats might not show it, the reality does: This has been one terrif-ic year for Tom Brady.

Despite almost an entirely new crew of re-ceivers, few of them

proven, and with his fa-vourite targets, Wes Welker (free agent signed by Denver) and Rob Gronkowski (inju-ries) not around, Brady guided the Patriots to a 12-4 record and yet an-other AFC East crown.

The new guy in town will be Andrew Luck, who has that same look of stardom and indefati-gability that Brady al-ways has worn. Luck en-gineered that stunning comeback from a 28-point deficit against Kansas City last week-end. He’s in his second pro season. All Brady did was win a Super Bowl as an NFL sophomore.

For Luck and the Colts (12-5) to replicate that feat, they can’t af-ford another slow start. Even if they start fast, though, Brady has shown this season that he is still the master of the rally to victory.

PATRIOTS, 33-28No. 3 San Diego (plus

10) at No. 2 DenverSan Diego’s last road

game during the season was a Thursday night win at Denver (13-3). That was a key to the run the Chargers (10-7) have staged to not only sneak off with the final wild-card spot in the AFC, but go into Cincinnati and win.

A repeat perfor-mance will likely require controlling the ball to keep Peyton Manning and the record-setting Denver offence on the sideline. It will require another huge defensive performance by a team that has stepped up on that side of the ball in the last month.

It also might require another meltdown (or freeze out) late in the match by the Broncos, similar to what hap-pened against Baltimore a year ago.

Won’t happen.BRONCOS, 38-30

Cranbrook Christmas Bird Count: Species List

1902All ready for Hockey

… A League Formed and a Schedule of Games Ar-ranged. A meeting of the Cranbrook Hockey club was held at the rink on the 25th of December at 3 p. m. for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing season. The re-sult was as follows: Pa-tron. J. P. Fink. Honorary

President, Wm. Hill. President, R. E. Beattie. Vice President, E. L. Chudleigh. Secre-tary-Treasurer, A. L. Mc-Dermott. Executive Committee, C. Prest, G. W. Ross, S. Hayes. The selection of a captain was left to the executive committee. R. E. Beattie was elected delegate to represent the club at a

meeting held at Fernie on the 28th for the pur-pose of organizing a league and arranging a schedule of games for the Liphardt cup.

Advertising Pays … The Herald desires to drop a hint to merchants for the coming year. South East Kootenay is rapidly increasing in population, and the im-portance of telling the

people what you have is increasing. It is impossi-ble to compete success-fully in any line of busi-ness unless attention is paid to this feature. And when you advertise do it right. Advertise with life and activity. Talk to the point. Tell the people what you want to sell, and show why they should buy. Change your ads. Give the same careful attention to this

feature of your business that you do other fea-tures. It is no longer any use to argue that adver-tising does not pay. Practical experience has demonstrated that it does pay. The question is to handle it properly. The Herald is read by not less than 1500 to 1800 people each week. It will pay any man if he is only selling peanuts, to use its columns to talk

to the people. Try it, and do it judiciously.

1903A Deadly Snowslide

…A snow slide at the Molley Gibson mine in West Kootenay last week resulted in the total demolition of the com-pany’s buildings and the death of several miners who were asleep in the bunk house. Some of the miners were thrown from the bunk house out into the moving mass of snow and carried a mile or more in their night clothes down the can-yon. The suffering of those who passed through the experience adds another chapter to the story of the dangers undergone by those en-gaged in mining.

Canadian Pacific … Sensible People Travel by the C.P.R. SPEED, SAFETY, SATISFAC-TION.

B.C.’s Coastal First Na-tions were quick to en-dorse a new U.S. study of the value of bear viewing in their traditional territo-ries.

Kitasoo/Xai’xais coun-cillor Doug Neasloss said the study by the Washing-ton D.C.-based Centre for Responsible Travel sup-ports what the northwest coast aboriginal commu-nities have been saying for years: “Bears are worth more alive than they are dead.”

The study calculated that in 2012, bear viewing

in what is now popularly known as the Great Bear Rainforest generated 12 times the visitor revenue as bear hunting. It counts 510 people employed in bear viewing companies compared to 12 jobs in guided hunting.

The study is the latest salvo in a battle over tro-phy hunting in B.C.

In November the prov-ince proposed to expand its traditional grizzly hunt to include Cariboo and Kootenay regions that were previously closed due to population con-cerns.

The Coastal First Na-tions, which includes

Haida, Heiltsuk and seven other North Coast com-munities, has asserted its unresolved treaty rights in logging and pipeline pro-tests as well as bear hunt-ing.

In 2012 the group an-nounced a ban on trophy hunting for bears in its territories.

The province has con-tinued to issue “harvest-ing” permits, including one well-publicized tro-phy shot by NHL player Clayton Stoner in May 2013, who took only the head and paws.

The U.S. study, funded by Tides Canada and Na-ture Conservancy USA,

suggested B.C. has over-stated the value of its guide-outfitter business to remote economies.

The province tracks wildlife populations and records human-related deaths, including vehicle accidents and “conflict kills,” where ranchers or conservation officers shoot bears to protect homes or livestock.

The U.S. study reports that there were 74 grizzly hunters from outside B.C. in 2012, 80 per cent of them from the U.S.

From 1976 to 2009 the province issued hunting permits for an average of 297 grizzly bears a year.

Grizzly bears worth more alive, study says

Bear viewing companies on B.C.’s remote North Coast are growing as hunting declines, according to a U.S. analysis.

S u b m i t t e dPanorama Mountain Village Inc.

announced today that it’s installing a state-of-the-art Doppelmayr Eco-Drive quad chairlift, which will be ready for the first day of the 2014/2015 ski season. Construction will begin in April.

The new fixed grip quad is the sixth chairlift in Panorama’s fleet and will service terrain ideal for nov-ice to intermediate skiers. The lift connects riders from the base of the mountain to wide and gentle trails like Ski Tip Way and Stringer. It will also enhance the ski-in/ski-out flex-ibility of Trappers Ridge, Panorama’s newest residential neighborhood.

Doppelmayr will oversee and complete the installation on behalf of Panorama Mountain Village. The chair boasts an uphill capacity of 1500 people per hour with a length of 788 metres (2,585 feet) and a ver-tical rise of 163 metres (535 feet).

“This is the first significant new infrastructure on the mountain in

more than 10 years,” says Steve Pac-cagnan, president and CEO of Pan-orama Mountain Village, “In addi-tion to the installation of the quad chair, we’re also improving the cur-rent novice ski zone. The overall re-sult will be a space perfect for young families and novice skiers with ter-rain that’s all about progressive learning and fun in the snow. The next phase will see the development of a first-class learning centre.”

The chairlift will be ideal for sum-mer activities as well. Paccagnan notes, “The new lift opens endless opportunities to enhance our sum-mer operation. We’re looking at downhill and cross-country moun-tain bike terrain, rope courses, zip lines and unique wedding venues.”

Additionally Panorama Moun-tain Village will expand its modern snowmaking system to cover the area serviced by the new chairlift. The machine-made snow will en-sure perfect coverage through the long winter season.

Ferdy belland “I love it when I go

where I’ve never been before...show or no show!” So says Evan Sy-mons of Texada Island, who has long been a fix-ture on Vancouver’s art-rock community with his quirky yet enthrall-ing mix of prog-rock chops and multi-media sensory overload.

And said enthralling mix is set to light up the stage at the Byng Road-house Saturday, Jan. 11.

Symons is another die-hard road-warrior of Canada’s underground music circuit, and has been roaming the by-ways of the country for nearly a quarter-centu-ry. As well as helming Vancouver art-rock out-fits like Uneven Steps and Transylvanian Polka , Symons is a former CITR-FM radio person-ality, hosting the “Live From Thunderbird Radio Hell” live-perfor-mance program along-side journalist John “Nardwuar the Human Serviette” Ruskin (host of MuchMusic’s “Going Coastal”).

Newcomers to Sy-mons’ music will hear influences from the late Frank Zappa, in terms of humorously-intelligent lyrics and technical cre-ativity to his approaches to songwriting and gui-tar playing, but Symons is quick to downplay any possible write-offs as

simply being a Zappa clone.

“I was a big fan of Zappa in my 20s, and I still listen to him occa-sionally,” Symons ex-plains. “I’ve been com-pared to him often. My song “Da Vinci the Dab-bler” is definitely a Zappa ripoff. In the 1990s, Zappa-compari-sons were generally a kiss of death...so I nor-mally hope nobody no-tices. I’ve come to realize that my main influence is probably Paul McCa-rtney. I do realize he crossed the cheesy line more than once in his day, but if you judge his entire recorded output as a whole...it’s amazing! I had Wings’ ‘Venus and Mars’ album the year it came out. And I love his latest album. Unlike Zappa, I still listen to

Paul McCartney regular-ly.”

Having spent much of the past 30 years marching to the peculiar percussion of his own drum, Evan Symons now has time to reflect.

“I don’t really con-nect with the West Coast music community as much as I once did,” Sy-mons admits. “For over 20 years I was Mr. Sce-nester, at shows three or four nights a week. I re-ally loved that time of my life. My favorite part of modern shows these is having interesting conversations between bands. Before, it seemed a lot more superficial, and I’m glad I have real friends in Vancouver music that I can really talk to. My main resi-dence and studio is now on Texada Island, but

my social life’s limited there. I go there to work on music, and exercise. I run a consulting busi-ness in Vancouver, so there are periods where I don’t get enough time there, but I love it when I do. It’s simple, like it was in Prince George before I left for Vancouver in 1988. I finally realized on Texada that I needed to live a life outside of music to have some-thing to write about.”

Postmedia News

OTTAWA - The De-fence Department has pegged the full cost of Canada buying, owning, replacing and disposing of 65 F-35 stealth fight-ers at $44.8 billion over 42 years, according to a report tabled in the House of Commons Tuesday.†It’s the first time Canadians have been presented the full price Canada can expect to bear all the way from the aircraft’s develop-ment through to dispos-al, and it far surpasses any previous figure made public.

The report comes after years of criticism over what has been seen as the Harper govern-ment’s refusal to fully disclose how much the F-35s will cost.

The costs have also been made public as the government has been trying to prove to Cana-dians that it has truly pushed the “reset” but-ton on its plans to pur-chase F-35s.

Yet even the num-bers included in the re-port aren’t the full story, as the Department of National Defence warned that “these esti-mates will change as more information be-comes available.”

Among the un-knowns are inflation, exchange rate changes and a variety of other unknown costs and variables that could af-fect the cost estimates by billions of dollars.

There are also a number of built-in as-sumptions that, if prov-en false, would also raise the price tag.

This includes a pre-diction the F-35s will be flown 20-per-cent less than Canada’s current fleet of CF-18s and that a total of 3,100 F-35s will be bought by Canada and its allies.

A reduction of 400 aircraft, the report states, would increase Canada’s costs by $500 million.

The report also doesn’t include the cost of acquiring between seven and 11 replace-ment aircraft that are predicted to be needed as some of Canada’s F-35s crash or are other-wise lost over the course of the program.

This alone is expect-

ed to cost $1 billion - which would bring the $44.8-billion cost to $45.8 billion.

The report does vin-dicate some of the cost predictions presented by National Defence in the past, including its estimate that the aircraft will cost about $25 bil-lion over 20 years.

It also shows that as things stand, the cost of simply buying the air-craft would be within the $9 billion set aside by the Harper govern-ment to replace Cana-da’s aging fleet of CF-18s - for now.

The government had initially set aside an $800-million contingen-cy to offset any variables in the actual cost of pur-chasing the stealth fight-ers.

But that number has since shrunk by 25 per cent to $602 million as the estimated cost of each F-35 has increased from about $75 million to $87.4 million.

That could be signifi-cant as the report says there could be a cost fluctuation of as much as 28 per cent - or $1. 7 billion - if things don’t go as planned.

“Based on the capa-bility of modern aircraft and simulator technolo-gy, it is expected that a fleet of up to 65 aircraft will provide sufficient capacity and flexibility to maintain Canada’s defence commitments at home and abroad,” the report concludes.

Yet the report also

says that the loss of an aircraft - or, by infer-ence, the decision to buy fewer than 65 F-35s - “would result in a di-minished capacity to undertake and sustain discretionary opera-tions.

“Therefore, opera-tional risk will need to be managed, partly through the assignment of additional flying hours to the remaining aircraft, if lost aircraft is not replaced.”

Industry Canada has also downsized its esti-mate for how much Ca-nadian business can ex-pect to benefit if Canada does go ahead with its plans to purchase the F-35, from $10.5 billion U.S. to less than $9.8 bil-lion U.S.

Exactly why Canadi-an companies are ex-pected to have $700 mil-lion less in opportuni-ties associated with the F-35 is not clear.

While the cost esti-mates are based on the idea of Canada replac-ing its CF-18s with the stealth fighter, which re-mains an option, the government has also di-rected the Canadian Forces to consider all other possible options.

Defence is currently re-assessing what mis-sions Canada’s next air-craft will be required to fly, what threats it will face and what technolo-gy and capabilities are available to Canada.

This will also include reaching out to other aircraft manufacturers

Long-term cost of F-35 jet fighter almost $45 billion, new report confirms

such as Boeing and Eu-rofighter to determine what their aircraft are able to do and how much they will cost compared to the F-35.

It’s not clear whether those companies will co-operate or not unless an open competition is held, something the government has so far refused to discuss.

ring in their general sur-roundings you are or may be aware of what I am talking about.

We did predict that in 2013 it would be a year of new beginnings and a lot of endings will occur for individuals. As you may well know, and we have stated, new be-ginning and the end of particular situations in our lives is not always joyous. In fact it can be somewhat and down right painful when these events happen.

We also stated to make sure you cleaned up and worked on your

problems as best as you can emotionally, physically and spiritu-ally. By this we meant those in unhappy rela-tionships try to decide what you want to do about them.

Get educated on how you can raise your self-esteem and learn how to gain strength and confidence in your-self.

Get yourself physi-cally fit and look after any on going problems and try to fix them to the best of your abilities. For example, getting that complete physical

by your doctor that you were delaying, and so on.

Spirituality, as we have always said, is a very personal experi-ence for each of us. We said it would be wise to work on which path you desire to follow and learn more on how you can improve yourself with your God, guides and angels and those around you. If you did not do this then these problems will still be readily available and presented to you again in 2014.

Hopefully we are feeling not so traumatic and harsh as in 2013; but very much doubt it.

We also said not to make any rash deci-sions if you were emo-tionally incapable of

doing so in 2013, be-cause you will come to regret it in 2014. For example, if you were feeling lonely and you did not know what you wanted in a mate and your feel-ings overcame your

good common sense because you were des-perately afraid of being alone then you will come to regret your ac-tions in 2014.

In a nutshell, last year was not a year of making concrete deci-sions but of overcoming some of your problems and working on them either monetarily, phys-ically and emotionally. Thinking basically of what do you want out of life and what direction do you want to be head-ing into — or out of for that matter.

Then taking a breath, being brave and walk-ing the path that you knew in your heart was best for you not what path was the easy way out or the most tempt-

ing. We also predicted in

2013 that it would be a year of more than nor-mal electrical break-downs of any kind. This means lots of com-puter glitches — if your computer was old but still good or any electri-cal appliances, car, houses and buildings, anything to do with electrical equipment last year would have clearly shown you and your bank account those problems.

I made several other predictions but those were not written in the paper. However, we embark on a new year and it will be a better year for some of us that have cleared away our baggage.

The first part of the year will be still clean-ing away some of the negative debris from 2013 and the residue of negative energy takes time to dissipate. How-ever, if you noticed, 2014 did not start out harsh, complex or errat-ic as last year. Things seem to be simmering down energy wise.

More kindness, un-derstanding and toler-ance is spreading over the planet. We need to remember this year to be kinder and gentler with ourselves and those that need to learn the lessons they choose not to learn.

We need not to help those individuals so much as to tell them in a kinder way that this is a lesson they need to learn or not.

We as individuals need to concentrate this year on our own path and correct our own mistakes instead of judging others.

This means this is a year of self-awareness for the self and not of others so much. As we all know, when we judge ourselves to harshly or are hard on ourselves then we treat others in the same way.

This can be a suc-cessful year if we wish to endeavour into new ad-ventures of any kind. This means if you want to start that new busi-ness or expand your business this will be a good year to do that.

It also means to ex-pand and start, slowly and with good common sense, building and ac-complishing little by lit-tle.

People will be less argumentative than in 2013 and this means meetings or anything to do with communication with others will be bet-ter than last year.

Well, that’s all I have for now as for predic-tions for 2014. I’m just new at predicting events and such and it all start-ed for me in 2013. One of my guides felt it was time that I start to make predictions, I guess.

So, as I hear the messages or predictions for the coming year I will put them in the paper.

Wishing a wonder-ful, prosperous and content New Year to all my 2014 readers.

Wendy

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A U.S. company is delaying a space station delivery mission because of a major solar flare.

Orbital Sciences Corp.’s un-manned rocket, the Antares, was supposed to blast off Wednesday from Virginia with a capsule full of supplies and experiments. But company officials took the un-usual step of postponing the launch for fear solar radiation could doom the rocket.

Orbital Sciences’ chief techni-cal officer, Antonio Elias, said solar particles might interfere with electronics equipment in the rocket, and lead to a launch fail-ure.

The solar flare peaked Tues-day afternoon. But more solar disturbance is expected. Officials will decide late Wednesday after-noon whether to attempt a Thurs-day launch or wait for the sun to settle down.

NASA says the solar activity poses no threat to the six men aboard the International Space Station. Satellites also should be safe from the sun’s latest out-burst, Elias noted. The Cygnus capsule aboard the rocket, for ex-ample, is built to withstand radia-tion from solar flare-ups.

Also on Wednesday, NASA said the White House was poised to announce an extension of the space station’s lifetime until at least 2024. The previous end-of-life date was 2020. That’s good news for scientific research aboard the orbiting lab, said Bill Gerstenmaier, chief of NASA’s human exploration and opera-tions.

NASA is using two private companies — Orbital Sciences and SpaceX — to keep the space station stocked. The space agen-cy turned to private industry for

help following the space shuttle program; the last shuttle flight was in 2011.

Russia, Europe and Japan also periodically launch supply ships.

The Cygnus was supposed to fly in December, but a breakdown in the space station’s cooling sys-tem required repairs by space-walking astronauts. The repair job, which was completed on Christmas Eve, bumped the sup-

ply mission to this week. Then frigid temperatures forced a launch delay from Tuesday to Wednesday.

Frank Culbertson, an execu-tive vice-president Orbital Sci-ences, said the delays can be frus-trating, but he pointed out there’s nothing wrong with the rocket it-self.

The first space station piece rocketed into orbit in 1998.

THE aSSOciaTED PrESS

WASHINGTON — Northerners thawing out from a bitter freeze may get rewarded with shim-mering northern lights the next couple days.

U.S. space weather forecaster Joe Kunches said the sun shot out a strong solar flare late Tuesday, which should arrive at Earth early Thursday. It should shake up Earth’s mag-netic field and expand the Aurora Borealis

south. He said best view-ing would probably be Thursday evening, weather permitting.

The University of Alaska’s Geophysical In-stitute predicts much of Canada and the north-ern fringes of the U.S. should see the northern lights.

The solar storm is al-ready diverting airline flights around the poles and may disrupt GPS po-sitioning devices Thurs-day.


LIGONIER, Pa. — A western Pennsylvania pizza shop has been delivering prescription medicines and other supplies to ill and el-derly residents so they don’t have to go out-side in the bitter cold.

Tom Wynkoop, owner of Fox’s Pizza Den in Ligonier, tells

WPXI-TV (http://bit.ly/1eGXJQ0 ) that he tweeted his offer be-cause his community about 45 miles east of Pittsburgh has a lot of elderly residents.

Wynkoop told those in need to call his cell-phone to arrange de-liveries of prescription medicines and other products — no strings attached. That’s right:

Folks don’t have to order food from Wyn-koop’s shop to get help.

Wynkoop says his shop has made four deliveries. He says, “You have to be there for your residents.”

The region was hit with record-low, sub-zero temperatures on Tuesday. Tempera-tures were subfreezing by Wednesday.


C A M B R I D G E , Mass. — Jazz pianist and composer Herbie Hancock will soon be a Harvard man.

Hancock has been named the 2014 Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry at Harvard University. He’ll be delivering six lectures on “The Ethics of Jazz” in February and March at Harvard University, covering such topics as “The Wisdom of Miles Davis” and “Cultural Diplomacy and the Voice of Freedom.”

Hancock says his lectures will cover the practical lessons he’s learned about the har-monious connection between “the essential values in jazz and the values of Buddhism.”

Established in 1925,

the Norton Professor-ship has been awarded to important figures from across the arts, in-cluding T.S. Eliot, Igor

Stravinsky and Leon-ard Bernstein.

Hancock became a Kennedy Center Hon-oree last month.

WILMINGTON, Del. — Chinese auto parts conglomerate Wanx-iang Group Corp. has increased its offer for Fisker Automotive, heating up the fight for the failed electric-vehi-cle maker.

Wanxiang sweetened its bid with an addition-al $10 million in cash.

An attorney for Fisker’s official commit-tee of unsecured credi-tors told a Delaware bankruptcy judge Wednesday that Wanx-iang may increase its

offer even more if the judge approves a com-petitive auction for Fisker.

But Fisker wants the judge to approve a pri-vate sale to Hybrid Technology LLC, which is owned by Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li. Hybrid became Fisker’s senior secured lender by buying a failed De-partment of Energy loan for $25 million. That re-sulted in a loss to U.S. taxpayers of $139 mil-lion.

The proposed sale will be considered at a hearing Friday.

Smoke from forest fires blankets Chile

SANTIAGO, Chile - Smoke from dozens of nearby forest fires blanketed the Chil-ean capital on Wednesday, leading authorities to ask res-idents to not exercise outdoors.

The fast-spreading fires reached a peak over the weekend. They have so far af-fected more than 40,000 hectares (100,000 acres) of land, caused more than $100 million in

property losses and forced the seven mil-lion residents of San-tiago to breathe the worst air in 15 years.

On Wednesday, strong winds carried a thick blanket of smoke over Santiago, where 40 per cent of Chileans live. Fire-fighters have been struggling with the blazes as the wind has reignited several of them.

The city govern-ment warned resi-

dents about the poor air quality and asked them to avoid exer-cising outdoors.

“We could see very high levels of contamination,” said Deputy Health Secre-tary Jorge Diaz.

Joggers and bikers exercising at the San Cristobal hill in downtown Santiago began to return home as the smoke cloud arrived Wednesday afternoon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your instincts work well with your finances right now. If you feel like you are lucky, go out and buy a lottery ticket. Be wise and follow your own advice. Re-member to listen to your inner voice. You could be unusually fortunate as a result. Tonight: Treat a loved one well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are energized and a witness to new possibilities. A discus-sion could encourage you to go for a long-term goal. Whether it is possible will be irrelevant. Accept the challenge, and keep your eye on the finish line. To-night: Screen your calls if you want to get anything done. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Take your time and let your mind wander. Your daydreaming contributes to your success and creativity; just don’t do it in front of your boss, as he or she might not understand your process. An associate will get you thinking with a question. Tonight: Vanish.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to feedback, and know what you desire. Friends seem to be supportive, and they prob-ably will stay that way while you accomplish this goal. Your upbeat spirit is influential and helps many people, including you. Keep that in mind. Tonight: Where the gang is. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You beam, and others naturally come toward you. The problem you might have is that you can’t really let go because of all your responsibilities. Still, others do respond to you well. Use your instincts with someone you must answer to. Tonight: In the limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Listen to a friend, who might be the source of surprising news. What you say and how you respond will make all the difference. Know that you won’t be able to change someone’s knee-jerk reaction. Be open to this person, despite his or her thinking. Tonight: Find your friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might have indicated that you would accept extra respon-sibility. If you are exhausted and feel as if you have very little to offer, others will sense it, and your leadership could be ques-tioned. Realize your limits when dealing with others. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Touch base with someone in the know. You can’t continue the way you have been without taking a bigger look at a situa-tion that will help you expand your thinking. Someone sees life very differently from how you do. Listen to his or her thoughts. Tonight: Get concert tickets. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Take news with a grain of salt. You might want to check out an associate’s thoughts on the matter. You could be unwilling to take a risk until you feel the situation is a lot more grounded. Your hesitancy might be instru-mental to your success. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to revisit a situation involving a loved one.

Your decision could dramatically change your choices afterward. You are on a split path, and once you decide which way to go, it will be difficult to turn back. To-night: Get into weekend mode. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen to news carefully. The person delivering the informa-tion might be as rigid as you are. Avoid viewing this situation in terms of “your way or my way,” as that could result in a dead-lock between the two of you. Instead, listen and process. To-night: Squeeze in some exercise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Listen to the creative muse within, as you could have a rare opportunity to express yourself freely. You will do just that in an unprecedented manner if you refuse to hold back. A child or loved one will be delighted by you and what you have to say. Tonight: Live it up. BORN TODAY Former U.S. president Richard Nixon (1913), singer Joan Baez (1941), Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton (1982)

Dear Annie: I am writing to you with a heavy heart. I have been married to my sec-ond wife for 20 years. We dated for two years, and she became impatient with my reluc-tance to get married. We both wanted kids, but her timetable was different than mine. Even though I was old enough to know bet-ter (46), I married her because she got preg-nant. I am positive that she did it intention-ally. We are different. I am very clean and orga-nized, and I work hard. She is messy to the point of dirty, stubborn, disorganized, lazy and vindictive. She has tried to sabotage my relationship with our two children who are now in their late teens. In spite of her efforts, I have created a good relationship with my son. But my young-er daughter is another story. She is like her mother: a spoiled brat. I know I am partly responsible for the way she’s turned out. I would like to create a loving relationship be-fore she goes to college in August. I know it’s late to fix this, but do you have any sugges-tions? -- Getting This Off My Chest Dear Getting: It’s never too late to try to mend relationships. The first one should be with your wife. You are terribly resentful, and it’s obvious that you don’t actually like her. Although you may have good reason, your children undoubtedly see it and react accordingly. It also fuels your wife’s desire to get back at you. And finally, how you relate to your wife affects how you relate to your daughter, who has a similar personality. She identifies with Mom and may believe you re-sent and dislike her, as well. Get counseling -- alone, with your wife or with your daugh-ter. Whatever you can arrange. Dear Annie: My 67-year-old mother is an alcoholic. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with dementia. Mom is now on medication for depression and high blood pressure and is living with my sister “Shannon.” I have seven siblings. When Shannon needs a break, my brothers and I take turns with Mom on the weekends. Mom wanders off during the day while Shannon is at work and catches a ride with strangers to get alco-hol. My sister is tired and stressed and says she is fed up because we are not helping her. It’s true that we all could do more, but no one really wants to. Mom is a handful. Mom is capable of taking care of herself only when she is not drinking. Otherwise, she has outbursts and tantrums. Shannon has decided to place Mom in a facility. Mom is on a low fixed income. Where could she go? -- Worried Sis Dear Worried: First, take your mother to her physician and have her evaluated to see whether she can manage at an independent senior residence or requires an assisted-liv-ing facility. Then call the Eldercare Locator (eldercare.gov) at 1-800-677-1116 for infor-mation about available places, and take the time to visit those that seem appropriate. Please do not make Shannon do this on her own. Surely, eight children can do this for one mother, no matter how difficult she is. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Drown-ing in Junk,” whose wife is a hoarder. He asked whether he could toss stuff while she is out of town. You were right to tell him not to do that. “Cleaning out” (throwing every-thing away without the hoarder’s involve-ment) can actually exacerbate the problem. Please ask “Drowning” to reach out to his local police, fire and health departments and ask whether there is a Hoarding Task Force in his area. Hoarding Task Forces are being organized nationwide. Often the task force will offer direct assistance or referrals to resources including cleaners, organizers and mental health organizations. We have a Hording Task Force here that consults all over the state. -- Burlington, Vt. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

ROBERTSON, MARILEE ANNMay 12, 1944 - January 3, 2014

Dearly loved and missed by her Cranbrook family, Judy, Erin, Michael and Shauna (Sarah and Taylor), Patrick and Angela (Natalia and Tyson) and Jeremy Vaughan. She will also be missed by Charlsie Wilson, Joan Edwards, her many friends and Kian.

Marilee taught for many years, starting and ending her career at Muriel Baxter School. She taught all of the primary grades (Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2). She so loved teaching at Muriel Baxter School that she really couldn’t see herself teaching anywhere else and as a result, retired in 2002 when the school was closed.On January 3, 2014, her mansion was finished, and the Lord took her home to be with Him.Funeral service will be held at First Baptist Church on Thursday, January 9, 2014 at 3:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Friends of Children, Cranbrook, B.C.

BERESFORD, Arthur Frederick Victor

On the evening of Wednesday, January 1, 2014, Mr. Arthur Frederick Victor Beresford passed away peacefully in Cranbrook, BC on at the age of 80 years. He was born in London, England, on April 3rd, 1933.

Arthur worked at BC Telephone as a radio

technician until his retirement. He was very involved in the community and served as a member of the Cranbrook City Council from 1971-1979 and was a Minor Hockey coach for eleven years. He also helped with the Kinsmen to build the Hockey arena. One of Arthur’s greatest loves was to sail. He moved to Sydney, BC on Vancouver Island so he could be close to the water to sail his boat. Four years ago, Arthur moved back to Cranbrook and resided at the FW Green Memorial Home where he kept the staff on their toes! He will be deeply missed and forever treasured by his family and friends.

Arthur leaves to cherish his memory his children; Victor (Heather) Beresford, Brian (Carolee) Beresford, Dagny (Don) Kasner and Kelly (Brian) Johnston. Also left behind is the mother of his children; Annabelle and his grandchildren; Liam Beresford, Danielle and Will Reinarz, Jordan & Chelsea Kasner, Lindsey Kasner, Ryley and Maxwell Johnston and great grandson Eli Kasner. Art was predeceased by one son, Eric Beresford in 1978.

A service of remembrance will be held for Arthur at a later date. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honour Arthur’s memory may do so with donations to the BC Children’s Hospital, 4480 Oak St., B321, Vancouver, BC V6H 2K2 or the Cranbrook SPCA, PO Box 2, Cranbrook, BC V1C 4H6. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

Walter Komar1929 - 2013

Walter passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 29, 2013. He was born in Brandon, Manitoba October 24, 1929. Walter worked some very interesting jobs including two seasons with a travelling circus as well as on a steam ship on the Great Lakes. He then

joined CP Rail working as a locomotive engineer until retirement. As he would often tell you, the best times at the railroad were the steam engine days. Walter had a variety of interests and over the years collected many books on all sorts of subjects.

Brian’s introduction to the iPad opened the World Wide Web to Walter. He loved it and enjoyed it immensely. His only regret was that it happened when he was 83 and not 25 years earlier! He spent many hours surfing the net searching foods of the world, painting styles and other subjects. Walter loved to talk and had a memory that was unbelievable. He could talk for hours about places, incidents, news stories or of his railroad years and always with amazing accuracy.

Thanks go out to Dr. Fourie. We have never met a more caring doctor. Thanks also to the staff in the Lakit Unit at Joseph Creek Care Village.

Walter will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Walter did not want a service but we will hold a celebration of his life at a later date. Should you wish to make a donation in Walter’s name, please do so to either Cranbrook Hospice Society or go to Hungry for Life.org and donate to Dr. Cutler’s International projects.

Tony & Jocelyn Fiorentino are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter,

Chelsea Fiorentino to Kc Fedun, son

of Kent Fedun and Kathy Koochin.

Wedding to take place August 30th, 2014.

“Your Mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She’s the smell

of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well. She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colours of the rainbow; she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your

laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first

enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you, not time, not space... not even death.”

Canadianscontinue to turn to DAILY NEWSPAPERS for breaking news, analysis of the day’s top events and entertaining content, according to the latest NADbank data. “Increased media compe-tition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of Genesis-Vizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. “Daily newspapers offer the same benefi ts they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A N C H O R A G E , Alaska — A pilot who made a safe emergen-cy landing on a major Anchorage street said he lost power, waited for a break in traffic, then descended onto the snowy median.

Armon Tabrizi said he was not immediate-ly sure where to land before deciding to put the Cessna 172RG Cut-lass down in the mid-dle of Boniface Park-way Tuesday after-noon, the Anchorage Daily News (http://is.gd/ZctL6G ) reported. Tabrizi, 27, avoided cars and stoplights, and no one in the plane or on the ground was injured.

Two other people were with Tabrizi in the plane, which is owned by Land and Sea Avia-tion, a flight school based at the city’s Mer-rill Field. The incident is being investigated by the National Transpor-tation Safety Board and the Federal Avia-tion Administration.

“I can’t talk too much about the inves-tigation that’s going on,” Tabrizi said. “I’m just glad everybody is

fine and stuff, and we’ll see what happens.”

The plane was on a routine maintenance flight, according to Ben Kinney, a flight in-structor and opera-tions supervisor for the company. He said the plane had not had any recent problems or gone through signifi-cant mechanical work.

Kinney said he couldn’t speculate on

what could’ve gone wrong.

Tabrizi, who also is a flight instructor, said the plane had “signifi-cant issues” as it was heading south after de-parting from Merrill Field.

Passenger Arthur Racicot, a Land and Sea Aviation mechan-ic, and the other pas-senger, another pilot, remained calm.

DUNDEE, Ill. — An adventurous peacock that escaped its pen at a Chicago-area petting zoo and became frozen in subzero tempera-tures has died.

The Randall Oaks Barnyard Zoo in Dundee says the 5-year-old bird named Blue died Wednesday

morning, a day after firefighters rescued the bird from a tree branch about 40 feet from the ground. The tempera-ture outside was 12 de-grees below zero.

Brian Mangiaracina (MAN’-grah-cee-nah) is Randall Oaks’ park and division manager. He says firefighters and zoo staff plucked Blue from a pine tree about

90 minutes after the bird fled his heated en-closure.

The zoo used warm water and a sweatshirt to restore Blue’s circu-lation. Mangiaracina says Blue likely died because of a buildup of fluid in his lungs from the cold.

Dundee is about 35 miles northwest of Chicago.

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican delegate running the troubled Legion of Christ has urged its priests to elect a new leadership worthy of authority, after suffering for years from shame and suspi-cion following revela-tions that its founder was a pedophile.

He says the new leaders must infuse the religious order with a new spirit to finish a process of reform that he said had only just begun.

Cardinal Velasio De Paolis presided Thurs-day over a Mass open-ing a month-long meeting of Legion del-egates to elect a new leadership and finalize

new constitutions that must be submitted to Pope Francis for ap-proval.

The meeting is the culmination of a three-year Vatican experi-ment to try to turn the congregation around after a Holy See inves-tigation uncovered se-rious problems in the cult-like movement.

Vatican envoy tells Legion that reform has only begun
