Inquest on into death in custody
Witness tells of panicked moments in Cranbrook cell block
ANNALEE GRANT Townsman Staff
Witnesses to the in-custody death of Collan Kohalyk testified Tuesday about a chaotic scene at the Cranbrook RCMP detachment cell block on the night of December 24, 2010. The Coroner’s Inquest into the death of Kohalyk began Tuesday, October 9 and will continue for the rest of the week with Coroner T.E. Chico Newell presiding. The inquest heard from RCMP members, the City of Cranbrook-employed guard in charge at the time, responding B.C. Ambulance Service paramedics and Cranbrook Firefighters who arrived on scene to attend to Kohalyk after hearing the call for help from the cell block in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve. Guard Tom Woloshansky told the inquest he assisted RCMP members around 1 a.m. as they brought Kohalyk into the cells after he was arrested following a domestic dispute. Woloshansky was the only guard on duty at the time and was watching over two females in the cells as well as Kohalyk. Const. Bob Archer and Const. Len Sullivan were the RCMP members who brought Kohalyk into the cell block. Archer said the man was agitated, directing swears towards the RCMP members. Woloshansky and Sullivan both confirmed he was combative as they attempted to remove his clothes down to only one layer, as is standard procedure. “He was swearing, wanting to fight us,” Archer said. “All I can remember was him swearing.”

A tragic story of despair Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff
He was a Calgary Flames fan, a man who would spend his last dollar to help out his friends and family and a loving father of two. That is the portrait that Irene Kohalyk painted of her son, who died on January 3, 2011 after hanging himself in a Cranbrook RCMP cellblock. The mother of the man showed a different side to her son on October 10 at the coroners inquest into his death. It was the first time the jury heard the details that led up to his tragic suicide. Irene presented her statement and said she was doing so to honour her son Collan Kohalyk and remember the good in his life. “I just want others to know who my son really was,” she said. “Drugs and bi-polar made Collan into someone at times I wouldn’t know.” Through tears, Kohalyk remembered a happy, content baby that grew shy as he entered grade school in Golden. Around Grade 4, Irene said Collan began to get in fights at school and met with a school psychologist. Irene and Collan’s father Nick Kohalyk divorced when Collan was 13. He was left alone at home a lot so that Irene could work at the town’s mill. “He was such a handsome boy,” Irene said. Her son loved cross country running but eventually the athlete was afflicted by a serious ankle injury that later required surgery and painkillers. Collan eventually stopped going to school and took a job at the same mill as Irene. “I don’t know when the drugs and alcohol became a problem,” she said. After leaving school, Collan moved around a lot. Irene remembers packing him up and moving him in or out over and over again, always willing to help. Collan eventually purchased a lot at a Annalee Grant photo trailer court and had a daughter with A MOTHER’S GRIEF: Irene Kohalyk, the mother of the man who hanged himself in the his girlfriend.

swer your questions about smoke detector installation, home escape plans and fire extinguisher use. Fire Fighters have been visiting schools this week as part of Fire Prevention Week, brining the message of plan-
ning escape routes. Having two ways out is the theme this week and fire fighters urge you to think about your escape plan in the event of a fire. Each year, Fire Prevention Week highlights a key aspect of fire edu-
cation. This year’s theme, Have Two Ways Out, focuses on preparing and knowing how to safely evacuate from your home. In addition to creating a fire evacuation plan, every household in B.C. should have
working smoke alarms – particularly in sleeping areas – and an extinguisher. Families are encouraged to check smoke alarm batteries monthly and mark their calendars to ensure they clean the devices twice a year.
September was a busy winding down month for the Kimberley Ladies Golf Starting with Nancy Fraser and Sandy Peters convening a game of silent partners on September 4th. Winners were: Annette Macdonald, Anne Wright, Bev McCormick, Karen Proudfoot, Sandy Peters, Bev Chlopan, Heidi Scheidegger and Hannah MacDonald.

Inquest investigates death of person in custody From Front Page At one point Kohalyk kicked off his shoes, nearly striking Sullivan in the head according to Archer. The two officers then brought Kohalyk into the cell, where they removed his cuffs and jacket. The members were unable to remove the man’s sweater. Sullivan later explained that doing so without cuffs on would have left the officers vulnerable. Archer then went to the guard’s room, where he viewed Kohalyk via camera as he removed his sweater and pants and rolled them up into a ball to use as a pillow. He attended the cell again, and the man refused to hand the clothing over to police. Woloshansky said entering the cell at that time would have further aggravated the situation. “When you have someone who is agitated and you keep going in and out, that actually exaggerates the agitation,” he said. Archer agreed, saying the risk was too great to Kohalyk and the RCMP members.
Coroner hears of officers response to emergency “Somebody would have gotten hurt,” Archer said. “He was very violent.” Sullivan said when he saw Kohalyk use his clothes as a pillow he believed through his 30-years experience as an RCMP officer that the man would settle down. “I thought that the situation had de-escalated itself,” he said. Woloshansky performed a check at 1:19 a.m., and noticed Kohalyk was standing with his back to the bars. He could not see part of his upper body on the camera. Woloshansky said it is common for prisoners to stand this way attempting to hear what is going on outside the cell. He continued with other tasks. “I’ve got two other prisoners I’ve got to monitor,” he said. Woloshansky received a call from Archer asking him to remove a cellphone belonging to the domestic dispute victim from Kohalyk’s effects. He began bagging the cellphone, but at 1:28 a.m., he realized Kohalyk was
still in the same position. “Something just didn’t feel right to me,” Woloshansky said. He did a physical check of the cell, which lay behind a heavy steel door that had been closed because the man was disrupting the other prisoners. It was then that the guard realized Kohalyk was hanging from his T-shirt that had been tied to the cell door. On the night Kohalyk died, Const. Eldene Stanley happened to be in the detachment after assisting with the victim of the domestic dispute. She was the first officer to respond after Woloshansky called for help. When she arrived, she found Woloshansky entering the cell, holding the man up to relieve pressure on his neck. Stanley used a pair of scissors to cut Kohalyk down, and the pair administered First Aid until help arrived. Woloshansky said he is sometimes left alone monitoring the cells, but the RCMP officers are quick to assist. It is policy that
guards may not enter the cell without a member present. “A lot of times they’re out on the road but times when I’ve needed them they’re there within a minute,” he said. The jury at the inquest asked Stanley to describe the man’s position when she attended to him, but the veteran officer said she didn’t pay attention to details as she rushed to help the man. “It was just a panic at that point,” she said. “I just saw his face and he needed help.” Archer, Sullivan and Const. James Fayle all arrived on scene to assist Woloshansky and Stanley. Firefighters arrived ahead of ambulance personnel, who told the inquest later they were at the hospital registering the victim of the domestic dispute when they got the call to attend the cells. The firefighters were able to insert a breathing tube to protect Kohalyk’s airway. When paramedics arrived they hooked him up to oxygen and transported
him to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The man later died in hospital after being transported to Kelowna. Woloshansky noted that the cell in which Kohalyk was placed in is no longer in use unless absolutely necessary. Many of the cells at the Cranbrook block have been renovated, and it is now policy to use the newer ones that have been fitted with steel doors instead of bars first. Former Cranbrook Detachment Inspector Bryan Edmondson was expected to testify Wednesday about the changes that have happened since Kohalyk’s death. Woloshansky said the camera has been changed so that the entire cell is viewable. Fayle told the inquest Kohalyk’s name did not bring up any concern about a possible suicide risk when it was run through two separate police database as is standard procedure in any case.

Tragic tale of despair Continued from page 1 When his girlfriend left with the girl, Irene said her son was devastated. “Collan took that very hard,” she said, adding that he talked about suicide then. Collan was further hurt when his daughter began to call her mom’s new boyfriend “dad,” but he maintained a long distance relationship with her. Collan returned to Golden and slowly spiralled out of control. Irene had no idea how to help him. “If only I had understood a little more about it,” she said. When Collan was 27, he was severely beaten and taken to hospital in Calgary. This assault changed the course of his life according to his mom. “I always wondered if he sustained a brain injury from this,” she told the inquest. Collan went to rehab where he was diagnosed as bi-polar. Irene said it was an ah-hah moment that explained much of Collan’s troubles. “We began to see where some of the highs and lows
came from,” she said. Collan again went to rehab in Abbotsford, and Irene visited him there. When she arrived, she was stunned at the squalor of the facility, and worried when she discovered her son was working under the table for minimum wage for a friend of the rehab centre’s owner. “If you have thousands of dollars you can get a good rehab,” she said. His family struggled to keep up with his treatments, and Collan did not tell his family what was going on. Irene said she begged to have access to his medical records so she could be aware of his situation, but privacy laws prevented her. “Lying is a part of this sickness,” she said of her son’s addictions. Through the under-the-table construction job, Collan learned skills that he happily brought home to help out his mom. “Whenever he came home he was eager to help me fix something on my house,” Irene said. Collan also had another
child, a boy, and the mother of that child left in similar circumstances as his previous child. His life spiralled downward again, and he lived out of his car until it was impounded after an accident in Vancouver. “Somewhere in all this the stress was overwhelming and the drugs came back,” Irene said. Collan lost his job and ended up on Vancouver’s crime-ridden East Hastings Street. He was mugged and assaulted again. “I wanted to go down to Hastings and find him, but that was so scary for me,” Irene said. In Collan’s final years, Irene began not answering her son’s weekly phone calls because she couldn’t handle the drama anymore. “I so wish I could change that. I feel so guilty. Collan needed his mom.” Collan was then sent to Cranbrook to again attend rehab. He began going to church, but again he was beaten and sent to the hospital. He was left with vision impairment and was living
with roommates who were using. “I was desperate to find him somewhere stable,” Irene said. The last time Irene saw her son, he was living with a girlfriend in Cranbrook. He was on methadone attempting to get clean and he came home for Thanksgiving 2010 and to celebrate his father’s 60th birthday. “I drove him back to Cranbrook, not knowing I’d never see him again,” Irene said. In December, the final pieces of Collan’s life crumbled. He heard from ICBC that he owed $26,000 from the accident in Vancouver, and learned that his daughter was changing her last name to reflect her step-father. He was unable to make it home for Christmas, but Irene remembers speaking to her son just hours before his arrest. Irene spoke of her isolating grief, but said she cherishes the time she had with her son. “I want to put away the darkness and remember all the good,” she said. “I’m thankful to have had him for those 36 years.”

If Obama blows it again, he deserves to lose: Ridiculous, but that’s the reality Michael Den Tandt Postmedia News
It’s
extraordinary, isn’t it, that Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is back in the game? Based on the strength of a single 90-minute debate performance, during which he out-presidented the president, Americans have set aside the notorious Mother Jones video, in which Romney callously dismisses half the American people as feckless, no-account moochers and slackers. Now, polls show, millions of these same people are again looking to him and running mate Paul Ryan, who is set to debate Vice-President Joe Biden Thursday, as potential saviours. What’s going on, here? Of course, it’s the power of television, of the mass media, of Twitter, of politics covered as a blood sport. But it’s more profound than any of that sounds. On the face of it this should not be a nail-biter. It should not even be a contest. Obama and Biden should be walking away with it. That’s because, as Bill Clinton so persuasively pointed out at the Democratic national convention a month back, Obama inherited an impossible, intractable mess, and turned it into just a mess. Relatively speaking, that’s good work. Certainly it compares well with the efforts of Obama’s Republican predecessor. Obamacare? This is a controversy that Canadians, even the vast majority of Conservatives I would be willing to bet, simply do not get. Though it falls well short of Canadian-style universally accessible public health care, Obama’s Affordable Care Act, signed into law March 23, 2010, extends health coverage to millions of middle-andlower income Americans who didn’t have it before. Presumably many of these people
have a vote. Foreign policy? Monday Romney gave what was supposedly a barn-burner of a speech at the Virginia Military Institute. In the speech, the GOP nominee declares that it’s time for a change in U.S. foreign policy. He goes on to outline a series of proposals that, in the critical area of war versus peace, are indistinguishable from Obama’s own measures. Romney would “put the leaders of Iran on notice that the United States and our friends and allies will prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons capability.” Check: Obama has said that often, most recently at the United Nations. Romney would “reaffirm our historic ties to Israel and our abiding commitment to its security.” Check: Obama says that every time he gets off the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In Libya, in Egypt, in Syria, Romney says, his administration will support the forces of democracy and progress. That’s excellent. But Obama, last time I checked, is not in favour of the forces of totalitarianism and regression. Au contraire, he and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton put America firmly behind the Arab Spring even when the outcome — as we have since seen — was uncertain. In so doing, they followed through on a domino theory of Middle Eastern democracy first articulated by George W. Bush. So much for clashing visions. In Afghanistan, Romney declares, “I will pursue a real and successful transition to Afghan security forces by the end of 2014.” Hmm. Isn’t everyone already doing that? Then comes the boldest stroke of all: As he sorts the Afghan quagmire, Romney bravely declares, he will “evaluate conditions on
the ground and weigh the best advice of our military commanders.” Truly, that is Napoleonic in its ambition. No wonder Obama has to go. Here’s the reality, which becomes obvious within five minutes of watching these two men spar onstage: Both are pragmatic centrists, representing the moderate wings of the broad movements they lead. Obama, having “taken out” Osama bin Laden and perfected the art of the drone assassination, cannot be considered a leftist peacenik any longer, if he ever was that. And Romney, bluster though he may about Iran, is no more eager to ignite World War Three than is Obama. They’re not that different. Which brings us back to the televised debates. These are always important — even more so when both contestants are courting the moderate middle. Then it becomes, literally, a popularity contest. Who seems more upbeat? Who has better oneliners? It’s geopolitics and the fate of the world reduced to a grin and a punch line. Of course, this is bizarre — even stupid. But it’s still the only reliable means yet devised of allowing millions of voters to take the measure of ideas and of their proponents in a setting in which they are entirely without aids or props. By this light, Obama failed terribly in his first outing with Romney, and he earned the failure. Four basically competent years in the toughest job in the world aside, if he blows it again, he deserves to lose Nov. 6. If Biden cracks in the face of the younger, ruthlessly intelligent Ryan, he will speed the loss. That is the brutal directness, and simple beauty, of democracy in a mass media culture. It’s nothing short of ridiculous, often. But it’s fair.

Ice maul themselves in 5-4 loss to Cougars TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Prince George Cougars came into Western Financial Place to play the Kootenay Ice, but it was the hometown team that ended up beating themselves in a 5-4 loss to the visitors on Wednesday night. The Cougars took advantage of some poor defensive play by the Ice, scoring four goals off of sloppy turnovers in the Kootenay zone in their march towards the win. “It cost us, that’s right,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill, of the turnovers. “You can’t turn the puck over in critical areas of the ice and expect to win hockey games. “At the same time, you got to recover better from mistakes.” Mackenzie Skapski started the game in goal for the Ice, but was replaced by backup Wyatt Hoflin in the third period. Skapski made seven saves in eleven shots, while Holflin allowed one goal while turning away five pucks. Kootenay outshot the Cougars in every period, and Prince George goaltender Brett Zarowny was busy making 35 stops on the night.
Kyle O’Connor, Collin Shirley, Joey Leach and Erik Benoit supplied the offence for the Ice, while Colin Jacobs, Dallas Ehrhardt, Caleb Belter, Brett Roulston and Jari Erricson responded for the Cougars. Kootenay prevented the Cougars from scoring in three separate power plays, while capitalizing once in five of their own chances, one of which was a five-minute major. Skapski got burned on his first shot, as the defence failed to cover Dallas Ehrhardt, who sneaked into the zone and collected a loose puck to roof it over the Ice goaltender’s glove. Kootenay applied some good pressure, but nothing translated into a response on the scoreboard until late in the frame. Brock Montgomery vented some frustration in the offensive zone corner, dropping the gloves with Tanner Lishchynsky, and working the young 17-year-old over just after the 10 minute mark. The Cougars doubled their lead when Colin Jacobs won a footrace to a puck and stole in on Skapski all alone, beating the Kootenay netminder low blocker

side. The Ice flailed around for a bit in the latter half of the period, but finally organized themselves and responded on the power play, when Kyle O’Connor notched his first-career WHL goal by spinning and firing a shot in the slot during a mad scramble just outside of the crease. The Cougars had already stymied the Ice on a quality scoring chance in the same man-advantage, when Zarowny was out of position, but a teammate stood between the pipes to save an Ice shot. The second period was a little better, but mistakes still plagued the Ice. Kootenay had a good start, but a giveaway in the defensive zone translated into a twogoal lead for the Cougars when Caleb Belter picked off a bad pass and beat Skapski high glove side. However, the Ice answered back when Erik Benoit put an innocentlooking shot on goal just after a face-off that beat Zarowny. Collin Shirley found the equalizer six minutes later for his first career WHL goal by getting a stick on a shot from Matt Thomas, who

However, another turnover in Kootenay’s defensive zone turned into a Cougars goal, when Brett Roulston intercepted a shoddy pass and scored to put Prince George in the lead once again. Benoit nearly had another goal, driving to the net on a half-breakaway just as the Ice finished killing a penalty, while Jaedon Descheneau hit the post late in the frame on a power play. Joey Leach got got himself on the
scoresheet in the third period, pinching in from the point and firing a weak angle shot into the net with Zarowny way out of position. With a tied up game once again, the Ice looked for the go-ahead goal, but it was the Cougars who responded when Jari Erricson took advantage of yet another turnover in the defensive zone to put the puck past Hoflin to take the lead. “You can’t keep coming back from deficits all the time in your own building, it’s too hard,” said McGill.
Ice defenceman Tanner Faith was checked from behind by Zach Pochiro, who got a fiveminute major and a game misconduct for the hit. Ice captain Drew Czerwonka took offence and he went in throwing a few fists and Pochiro was game for a little rough stuff. Faith was able get up and skate off the ice without help from teammates or trainer Cory Cameron, who went out to check on the young rookie. Despite a five-minute power play, the Ice couldn’t get anything
past the Cougars, and an extra attacker in the dying minutes couldn’t translate to a game-tying goal. The Ice have lost their third consecutive game on home ice and have one win in six games, which puts them in last place in the WHL. Next action for the Ice is on Friday against the Saskatoon Blades— the WHL franchise that is hosting the Mastercard Memorial Cup this year. The Blades have had a pretty poor start to the season as well, with only two wins in eight games.
Yankees, Giants pick up wins in MLB postseason ASSOCIATED PRESS
NY Yankees Baltimore

NEW YORK _ Bullpen perfection disappeared for the Baltimore Orioles when it mattered most. These exciting young Birds had been 76-0 this year when leading after seven innings, their relievers carrying them through the hot days of summer and the crisp nights of early fall. They had won 16 consecutive extra-inning games since losing their first two of the year to the New York Yankees in April, the best streak in the big leagues in more
than a half-century. They were two outs from taking control of their AL division series. Jim Johnson had converted a big league high 51 saves. And then, just when you least expected ... Raul Ibanez, pinch hitting for no less than Alex Rodriguez, drove a 94 mph fastball over the right-centre field scoreboard with one out in the ninth inning to tie the score 2-all. Three innings later, it was Ibanez again. The 40-year-old sent a 91 mph Brian Matusz pitch into the right field second deck leading off the 12th, giving the Yankees a 3-2 win Wednesday night and a
2-1 lead in the best-offive series. San Francisco Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, Ohio _ Angel Pagan connects on the second pitch of the game. A Giants team that finished last in homers goes on to hit three. Tim Lincecum pitches like a two-time Cy Young winner _ this time, out of the bullpen. So many unusual things moved San Francisco to the verge of an unprecedented comeback. Pagan hit the first leadoff homer in Giants post-season history, and Gregor Blanco and Pablo Sandoval con-
nected later for an 8-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday that evened their NL division series at 2-all. No team has recovered from a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-five series by winning three on the road, according to STATS LLC. This one can do it with a victory on Thursday at Great American Ball Park. “Thanks to the win today, there will be a tomorrow,’’ Pagan said. “And we are ready for that.’’ Matt Cain, who lost the series opener and has yet to beat the Reds in three tries this season, will start Game 5 against Mat Latos.

Local motocross racer tears up the track in Spokane Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor
Tanner Watson’s got some skills. Just ask his competitors at the Airway Motocross Park in Spokane, as the young racer brought home a collection of seven trophies during a season-ending event last weekend. Watson, 8, has been heading down to the track for races throughout the spring and summer, and his results were good enough to earn some pretty impressive hardware. “For him, its quite a feat because you go down there and race against these kids, about 20 to 25 of them, and it’s on their home track, so they have a pretty big advantage, but he does pretty well,” said Brant Watson, Tanner’s father. Tanner raced the season on a KTM 50 cc in his first full season of racing, as he got hooked on the sport last year when he tried out the track for the first time. “I started out riding a
dirt bike and I just got more into it and then I started asking to race and I kept asking until I started my first race,” said Tanner. “After that, I kind of liked it and I wanted to keep doing it.” Brant and his wife, Allison, had no idea their son was interested in pursuing motocross even after getting him a dirt bike for his birthday when he turned 4 years old. Brant grew up playing hockey and even dabbled in a bit of junior, and figured Tanner would follow in his footsteps. “He kind of took this all on his own and it’s kind of neat, because I’m learning with him, too,” said Brant. When the spring and summer hits, the two are out at a user-maintained track near Elko one day of the weekend, or out at a couple tracks that family friends have have built on their property. The Watsons are also
friends with Clayton Vogt, a local pro rider who is an inspiration for Tanner. Heading down to Spokane is more convenient than heading to Lethbridge or Calgary for races and the trips are a family event, even though it’s focused on Tanner’s racing, said Brant. “We’re there as a family and the whole family is cheering him on,” said Brant. “Mom’s out on the track, making sure he’s okay if he falls down and I’m in the pits, working on the bikes or making sure he gets a good start.” The youngster even has a few sponsors as Kootenay Valley Petroleum—the company that Brant works for— helps out with some of the costs, while Mainjet Motorsports out of Nelson aids with bike maintenance. Gibson’s Welding in Cranbrook also lends a hand for any welding that needs to be done with the machine. Though Tanner is

sure helps,” said Brant. Tanner’s having so much fun out on the track, he’s got his younger sister, Mya, 5, interested in getting into dirt biking. But the off-season is
approaching, and Tanner will soon trade his dirt bike for hockey skates, but Brant hopes to get down to another American indoor track a few times over the winter.
“I honestly think if he had the opportunity to pick between motocross and hockey, I don’t even think it’d be a hard decision for him,” said Brant. “It would be dirt bikes all the way.”
Boxers ready to rumble on Saturday Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor
The Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club is fielding local athletes at an upcoming fight at the Eagles Hall this coming Saturday evening. Colin Adams, Tyler Gallinger, Ryan Lindsay, Shannon Ryan and Gage Duthie will represent the local club in the ring, as head coach Bill Watson has roughly 11 bouts set up.
“I knew he was ready, and he knew I was going to ask him. We both felt comfortable with it and when I see a kid like that, that has that potential, I ask him.” Bill Watson The headlining event will be Kenny Lally, a three-time Canadian champion, against Kenny Guzman, a state champion out of Montana. Tyler Gallinger is in his second year of boxing after joining the gym last year along with a
friend. Saturday night will be his first-ever fight. “I’m feeling a bit nervous,” Gallinger said. “I’m pretty excited about it though. I thought about fighting when I started this year. “Last year, I boxed for almost the entire year but I was out for a couple of months because of [non-boxing related] injuries.” Gallinger, 16, worked a lot on his technique last year, and sparred a bit with the competitive boxers, which caught Watson’s eye. “He did some sparring with the competitive boxers and showed some skills that he could compete and this year we’ve just taken him up a notch to that next level,” said Watson. Gallinger knew he eventually wanted to step into the ring and knew that Watson would eventually ask him try a competitive bout. “I knew he was ready, and he knew I was going to ask him,” said Watson. “We both felt comfortable with it and when I see a kid like that, that has that potential, I ask him.” Gallinger will be chal-

I’m not the fastest, but I know how to throw a punch.”
Watson gives his student a little more credit. “Tyler’s a good stand up boxer, has good boxing skills, uses his reach and his height really well and keeps his hands up with good defence, so he should be fine,” Watson said. “I’m confident in what he’s going to do on Saturday night.”

A day to buy a lottery ticket? 10/11/12 an appealing date to some ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK _ So what are you doing on Thursday? Not you, Joe Biden and Paul Ryan _ we already know you’re a little busy with that debate thing. But others may be marking, in some way, the fact that Thursday is a special day, numerically speaking: It’s 10-11-12. Nice, but how significant? Those who study numbers say, well, not too much. Or perhaps it’s better to say that it’s as significant as you want it to be. Significant enough to influence your wedding date? At one wedding chapel in Las Vegas, Forever Grand at the MGM Resorts, there’s a special numerology package, including a chapel, a pianist, a minister, and a limo to the courthouse, among other things. (And if you’re just finding out about this, it isn’t too late: There’s another special at Forever Grand for 12-12-12.) The date 10-11-12 has proven not nearly as popular as last year’s 11-11-11, when there were 22 weddings at the chapel, says manager Glynnis Sherwood. Nine weddings are booked for Thursday, almost certainly be-
cause of the date, she says, adding: “Of course, the biggest was 07-07-07, when we had 62.’’ Perhaps the day isn’t significant enough for your wedding, but enough to go buy a lottery ticket? “People like a fluency in numbers,’’ says Rajesh Bagchi, an associate professor of marketing at Virginia Tech who also studies numbers psychology. “The sequence of 10-11-12 is fluent, and it goes up, so it can have a pleasing effect. It can feel right. So someone might decide, for example, to buy a lottery ticket.’’ Bagchi himself, however, didn’t even realize the day was coming, until we called. So he wasn’t planning anything special _ he did actually get married in Vegas, but not on a numerically significant day, though surely it was significant in other ways. Certainly, there are special things happening on Thursday, and not just the U.S. vice-presidential debate. At the United Nations, the day has been declared the International Day Of The Girl Child, recognizing girls’ rights and the challenges they face around the world.
YOUR CITY WORKING FOR YOU! Thursday, October 11, 2012 FALL DEER MATING SEASON APPROACHING; RESIDENTS URGED TO BE AWARE Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services is teaming up with NFPA to urge residents to “Have Two Ways Out!”, focusing on the importance of fire escape planning and practice. Although preparing for the unexpected is difficult, reviewing the information below and taking action based on it to plan for a fire could save lives. Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services recommends the following tips for planning your family’s escape: If you have children and want to make this a family activity • Make a map of your home. Mark a door and a window that can be used to get out of every room. • Choose a meeting place outside in front of your home. This is where everyone can meet once they’ve escaped. Draw a picture of your outside meeting place on your escape plan.
• Write the emergency telephone number for the fire department on your escape plan. • Sound the smoke alarm and practice your escape drill with everyone living in your home. • Keep your escape plan on the refrigerator and practice the drill twice a year or whenever anyone in your home celebrates a birthday. If your family is all adults: • Walk through you home and identify two ways out of each room. • Choose a meeting place outside in front of your home. This is where everyone can meet once they’ve escaped. • Make sure everyone knows the emergency number for your local fire department. • Practice your escape drill twice a year. To learn more about “Have Two Ways Out!” visit NFPA’s Web site at www.firepreventionweek.org.

Residents and visitors are advised to continue to exercise both caution and common sense this fall, as the late autumn deer mating (rutting) period begins. That is the message from the City of Cranbrook. In the weeks leading up to the rut (into November and December) bucks increase their displays of dominance and indirect threats. A dominant buck typically circles a rival with deliberate steps; back arched, head low and tail flicking. Bucks can also display dominance by violently thrashing the bushes with their antlers. “We are into a transition period, where some does with fawns
remain wary and potentially aggressive toward humans with dogs,” says Mayor Wayne Stetski. “Now we will likely also see an increase of particularly aggressive acts from the local urban buck population. Residents are reminded to please give deer plenty of space to move or leave the area. Do not walk closer to the deer; find another route.”

But there’s no evidence the actual numbers of the date were taken into account. Also, the Jonas Brothers are returning to the stage after three years with a one-night show at Radio City Music Hall. How rare is the day? After all, there will be a neat moment right around the time many alarm clocks ring at 07:08:09, on 10-1112. But won’t it be better later this year, on Dec. 12, when we will have 12:12:12 on 12-12-12? In fact, the kind of sequence happening Thursday is one that’s been occurring every year since 2003, when we had 01-02-03. It will end for a while in 2014, with 12-13-14. Then we’ll need to wait until 2103. “It basically happens in the early years of a new century,’’ says Geoff Chester, public affairs officer at the U.S. Naval Observatory, which, if you didn’t know, is the official timekeeper for the Department of Defence. “Really, this is just a numerological curiosity,’’ says Chester. “People find it amusing. But there is no cosmic significance. It’s an artifact of the calendar and time system that we use.’’

B.C. Conservatives continue fight over Cummins’ leadership C ANADIAN PRESS
VICTORIA — B.C. Conservative party Leader John Cummins continues to face friendly fire from his own members even though he received over 70 per cent support during the party’s recent annual general meeting. Allison Patton, the Conservative’s Surrey-White Rock constituency association president, said she’s scheduled a Wednesday afternoon news conference in Vancouver where she and others will call on Cummins to step down. Patton said she’s urging Cummins’ resignation because she feels the party is deconstructing under his leadership. “The party was already in a self-destructive process and it’s bigger than we are,’’ said the Surrey naturopath doctor.
“We are standing as the CA (constituency association) presidents movement on the particular issue of the leadership. There are other issues going on that really are bigger than ourselves. But our feeling is the biggest is the leadership.’’ Patton said several constituency association presidents started to meet following the Langley AGM last month after realizing they shared concerns about Cummins’ leadership and where he was taking the party even though 70.1 per cent of members voted against a leadership review. She said MLA John van Dongen’s decision to leave the Conservatives rather than serve under Cummins confirmed for many that Cummins’ leadership was a problem.
Pipeline talks misguided: former Enbridge VP C ANADIAN PRESS
TERRACE, B.C. — A former B.C. Liberal MLA and one-time senior Enbridge official says the Calgary-based pipeline company has taken the wrong approach in trying to sell its Northern Gateway project to British Columbia. Roger Harris was the MLA for Skeena from 2001 to 2005 and served as Enbridge’s vice-president of aboriginal and community partnerships from 2008 to 2010. He says his former employer would have been better off to hold direct discussions with its opponents, rather than giving speeches to those already in favour of the project.
According to Harris, Enbridge should have highlighted what it could do in partnership with northwestern communities instead of focusing on what it could do to the region. He also criticizes the company’s defence of its safety record, saying Enbridge’s assertion that it spills just one-tenth of one per cent of its oil would be little comfort to anyone coping with sticky crude fouling area rivers and streams. Harris says Enbridge has missed too many opportunities to hold meaningful discussions about its $6-billion proposal to pipe bitumen from Alberta to Kitimat for shipment overseas, and now the company faces some tough hurdles to win regulatory approval.
Victoria-area residents fight for Douglas fir C anadian Press
CADBORO BAY, SAANICH, B.C. — A diseased, centuries-old Douglas fir tree in suburban Victoria will stand a little longer after several local residents proved their bark is worse than its blight. Residents in the Saanich, B.C., neighbourhood of Cadboro Bay rallied Tuesday to prevent municipal crews from cutting down the estimated 300-year-old fir.
Police were called, but the fallers left without firing up their chainsaws. The municipality says the tree, dubbed Dougy Fir, has been attacked by a fungus and must be removed. But area homeowners question the results of tests done last spring and want their own arborist to assess the health of the ancient conifer. They also say a lawyer could file an injunction as early as today, aimed at preventing the tree’s removal.

Van Dongen, who quit the Liberals last spring to join the Conservatives, was the party’s only sitting member in the legislature. “Knowing what is required to take a group somewhere, I just don’t see that happening,’’ said Patton. “I feel that under the current leadership the party isn’t going anywhere.’’ Patton said she sent a letter sent to party members and Cummins asking him to step aside for the sake of the party. Cummins released his own letter Sunday issuing an ultimatum that demanded dissident members either get on board with his leadership, or leave. Cummins could not be immediately reached for comment.

LAKE COUNTRY, B.C. — The coroner’s office suggests one crucial error cost an Okanagan-area hunter his life. A release from the coroner says 52-yearold Lake Country, B.C., resident Tracy De Montezuma was hiking through dense forest and climbing over fallen logs southeast of Vernon on Sept. 29. It appears his rifle was loaded and discharged accidentally, hitting him in the torso. The experienced hunter died in the bush. De Montezuma’s body was found after an intensive five-day search.

Officer pleads guilty to all charges in navy spy case Alison Auld Canadian Press
HALIFAX — A navy intelligence officer rose before a judge in a Halifax court Wednesday to plead guilty to espionage and breach of trust, making him the first person in Canada to be convicted under the Security of Information Act. Sub-Lt. Jeffrey Paul Delisle showed no emotion as he acknowledged to a provincial court judge that he understood the consequences of entering guilty pleas to three charges and was voluntarily giving up his right to a trial. Defence lawyer Mike Taylor said his client decided about a week ago to end the matter that captivated the intelligence community and raised uneasy questions about the effect any leaked material might have had on Canada’s relations with its closest allies. “He’s just wants to move forward, he wants to get it done, put it behind him, accept his responsibility and have the court deal with it,’’ Taylor said outside court after the surprise guilty plea at the scheduled start of his preliminary hearing. “This was simply a matter of deciding there’s no good rea-
son to simply put on a show for the public, to go through the motion when, in my estimation, the outcome was clear and Mr. Delisle was realistic about that.’’ Taylor said no deal was made with the Crown on possible sentences. The case returns to court Jan. 10 for a twoday sentencing hearing. Delisle was charged with breach of trust and two charges of passing information to a foreign entity that could harm Canada’s interests. The 41-year-old was denied bail in March and has been in custody at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Halifax since his arrest in January. A broad publication ban was imposed on the hearing, limiting what can be revealed about the accusations against Delisle. Federal prosecutor Lyne Decarie would not say what sentence she will seek. But she said one charge of breach of trust under the Criminal Code carries a maximum sentence of five years, while the other two charges under the security act carry life sentences. Taylor said the Crown was
asking for “significant numbers’’ in a federal institution, but not a life sentence. The case against Delisle marked the first time someone had been charged under the act and his guilty plea is the first conviction under the federal law. The act was passed by the House of Commons after the terrorist attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. Delisle wore a blue hooded sweatshirt, jeans and glasses during his brief appearance in court. Delisle joined the navy as a reservist in 1996, became a member of the regular forces in 2001 and was promoted to an officer rank in 2008. The officer worked at Trinity — the name for the military allsource intelligence “fusion’’ centre on the East Coast — which experts have said would provide tactical assessments primarily to Canadian warships and aircraft, both at home and overseas. Defence Minister Peter MacKay insisted soon after the charges were laid that the breach did not damage Canada’s relationship with its allies, saying “our allies have full confidence in Canada.’’

Quebec politician says she wasn’t swayed by Celine Dion tickets C anadian Press
QUEBEC — Quebec’s former deputy premier is defending herself and dismissing the idea that her integrity could be compromised by a few dozen roses and Celine Dion concert tickets. Nathalie Normandeau has issued a curt statement following explosive allegations at the province’s ongoing corruption inquiry. The former Liberal deputy premier, now out of politics, says she was never influenced by gifts delivered by a onetime construction boss; star witness Lino Zambito had told the inquiry that he sent Normandeau 40 red roses on her 40th birthday, as well as concert tickets. “I will reaffirm that I always did my work with rigor while remaining conscious of the importance of honouring citizens’ trust,’’ Normandeau said in a statement released Wednesday. “I will not let anyone call into question my integrity.’’ She is the same high-ranking politician who called a news conference to condemn Maclean’s magazine when it ran a cover two years ago that called Quebec Canada’s most corrupt province, illustrated by an image of Bonhomme Carnaval holding a briefcase stuffed with cash. Normandeau also denied knowing anything about illegal fundraising.
Zambito told the inquiry that, while organizing an event headlined by Normandeau, he pumped money through third-party intermediaries to circumvent Quebec’s electoral contribution limits. Normandeau says that doesn’t mean she did anything wrong. “Like many of my ministerial colleagues I was asked to participate in fundraising activities,’’ Normandeau said in her statement. “Over the years I took part in dozens of these events and did so all across Quebec. That being said, I never participated in organizing these activities.’’ Other Liberals were left defending their party’s reputation Wednesday. The party’s interim leader said he had spoken with party officials and was assured that illegal fundraising tactics were never used or tolerated. Jean-Marc Fournier said he also asked party officials to examine whether new control mechanisms might be necessary to ensure donations are clean. Fournier said the party will also be seeking participant status before the inquiry. He urged that the inquiry be allowed to conduct its work before conclusions are drawn. None of Zambito’s allegations have been proven in court.

NEWS Supreme Court to weigh whether mother abandoned baby intentionally
Natalie Stechyson Postmedia News
OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada will hear a case on Thursday of a Saskatchewan woman who gave birth into a toilet in a Walmart bathroom, thought the baby was dead, and left it there. The case questions whether or not the young woman known as A.D.H. should be charged with unlawfully abandoning the child, who was later resuscitated, if she thought it was dead. But it also has potential wide-ranging implications for criminal law. The case is of keen importance to lawyers and judges, not so much because of the facts or the charge, but because the Supreme Court may take the opportunity to
decide generally if the test for criminal liability should be based on what the person was thinking, believing and feeling, rather than on an idea of what reasonable behaviour should be, said Eugene Meehan, an Ottawa lawyer with Supreme Advocacy LLP and a former executive legal officer with the Supreme Court of Canada. “The question here is, is she expected to act the way a reasonable person would in these circumstances, or is the real question `what was in her mind as an individual at that point in time?’ “ Meehan said. A.D.H. did not know she was pregnant before she gave birth in Prince Albert in 2007, according to court documents. She had gained some weight but had taken
three home pregnancy tests and all of them were negative, the documents said. She was feeling ill when she arrived in the Walmart and used the bathroom, which is when she “very quickly” had the baby into the toilet, the documents said. The baby boy appeared dead, and A.D.H. left the store. A store manager eventually pulled the baby from the toilet. Emergency workers later resuscitated him. A.D.H. later came forward to police and admitted to being the mother. She was acquitted in 2009 after a lower court judge determined that the Crown had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that A.D.H. intended to abandon the

baby and endanger his life under section 218 of the Criminal Code. The trial judge found, based on expert evidence, that A.D.H. didn’t realize she was pregnant, the baby was born at least a month premature, and the birth was precipitous - which the physician defined as birth with less than one hour’s labour. According to court documents, A.D.H. spent a total of 14 minutes in the Walmart. The court also heard that precipitous births can cause the baby to go into a shock-like state, appearing to be dead. The mother can also be shocked and disoriented. A.D.H.’s actions may have

body of her child after a building superintendent found the badly decomposed human fetus in Levkovic’s recently vacated apartment. While it’s probably just a bizarre coincidence that the court is hearing these two cases one after another, there has been more examination in recent years of crimes such as infanticide, said Carissima Mathen, a law professor at the University of Ottawa. “What this may reflect is simply that Crown attorneys are more willing to lay charges in these kinds of cases. And you’re having these kinds of interpretive issues coming up more than they did in the past,” Mathen said.

OTTAWA — The federal government is rolling out a new phase in its program to encourage the hiring of people with disabilities. Human Resources Minister Diane Finley was in Calgary today to announce a call for proposals that will see $30 million spent over the next three years. The money is expected to create 1,600 jobs at small and medium-sized businesses, providing employment to people who have had a tough time cracking the labour market. “Through discussions with employers from across the country, it is clear that skills shortages
are top of mind,’’ Finley said in a news release. “In order to support Canada’s continued economic growth, we must ensure that everyone who wants to work has the opportunity to do so, including under-represented groups such as people with disabilities.’’ A recent Bank of Montreal survey says more than half of small businesses in Canada have never hired a person with a disability. The $30 million in funding was first announced in the 2012 budget, adding three years of life to the Opportunities Fund program that has been around since 1997.
The money will go to projects designed to give people with disabilities a range of skills and work experience. The employment rate for working-age people with disabilities is about 53.5 per cent — significantly lower than the 75.1 per cent rate for workers without disabilities, according to the federal government’s 2010 annual report on disabilities. Finley is launching the call for proposals despite not yet having heard from a private-sector group she appointed to find ways to better integrate people with disabilities into the workforce. The group is set to deliver its report by the end of the year.

the PROBLEM SOLVER
MANAGING YOUR DEBT LOAD! We have been hearing a lot lately from our government and financial leaders about reducing our personal debt load. The Federal Government has even taken steps to this end by changing the rules to obtain a house mortgage. Back in 2003 Canadian consumers reached a major debt milestone. For the first
time the debt-to-income ratio passed 100%. That means that the average Canadian owed more than he/she is earning. (Think about that for a moment). It also means that if the economy takes a downturn, or you lose your job, or if interest rates go up, bankruptcy looms for many. Ninety thousand Canadians go bankrupt
every year. In the USA even two income families are declaring bankruptcy. Credit cards are the millstone dragging Canadians down. But we also carry significant amounts of debt in mortgages, car loans and lines of credit. The total amount of debt in Canada has more than doubled since 1980.
While mortgage rates are half that of credit cards, housing debt still accounts for the majority of indebtedness in Canada. But the consumer debt-to-income ratio of 153% in the third quarter of 2011 has never been higher. People are not saving! They use already overburdened credit cards to buy that brand new
65” television. People are lured by tax deductions and borrowing on their homes to gamble on the stock market. What they do not realize is that debt repayment is always a good investment. This is even truer when loan interest rates are at 50 year lows and you can only earn single digit equity returns. There is no in-

vestment that can deliver a guaranteed after tax return of 12% to 18%, which is the return you get when you eliminate credit card debt. Bankruptcy is a subject that is very personal to those who use it each year. Young couples who have charged and borrowed far beyond their abilities to repay take a majority of the personal bankruptcies. They see bankruptcy as their only release from the financial bondage that threatens their marriages and sometimes their health. Take the situation of a young couple who owe $20,000 in credit card bills, $50,000 for a previous consolidated loan, and $200,000 for a family loan to buy a home. “Obviously,” the husband said, “another consolidation loan won’t help. The only thing that will help us is a fresh start.” For many, bankruptcy is just another “quick fix”. A review of their financial history showed that history would repeat itself if they did not change their past habits. It is amazing that the
average family filing for bankruptcy owes a very small amount. The problem is that it is usually composed of many small bills, and most of them are delinquent. They may have the capacity to pay their creditors, but that would require a couple of years of financial sacrifice.
The solution – get out of all debt now. Any disposable income should be used to firstly, pay off credit card debt, secondly, car loans and lines of credit and then mortgage debt. It sounds easy but it takes a great deal of self disciple to carry it out. You will probably need help to get started. There are credit counselling bureaus who can assist by analyzing your situation and setting up a plan to get you out of debt and to stay out of debt.

THE 10% SHIFT INITIATIVE Tuesday, October 16th @7pm Lecture Theatre at the College of the Rockies With Guest Speaker Kathy Callies Partnered by The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce ~ College of the Rockies ~ Staples The Retail Committee chaired by Connor Stewart is hosting this event in efforts to start seeing changing local shopping behaviours. This will be the kickoff to a much larger education and awareness campaign that is expected to be running over the next year. We are calling it the 10% shift initiative. It is being adopted from a remarkable success story that took place in Miner County, South Dakota, USA. The lady who will be coming to put on two different presentations was involved in this initiative that had taken place in Miner County from the very beginning. The initiative was so successful; it literally turned the town and their local economy around. One presentation will be made at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon on October 17th. The other one will be at the College of the Rockies on October 16th at 7pm in the Lecture Theatre targeting more youth.
ENERGY SAVINGS TIPS
1. 2. 3.
This guest speaker will speak to how a couple small changes in shopping behavior can have such a massive impact on a local community. This is not only limited to economy but also social well-being. This event and this campaign can tie in very well with the four pillars identified in the Cranbrook Connected document. “In 1995, the same year Brazil’s president Cardoso announced the privatization of the railroads, a group of high school students in Howard, South Dakota started plotting a revival. They wanted to do something, anything that might revive their dying community. The students had prepared an impressive array of spreadsheets and charts and graphs. But they’d also simplified the complex data into one simple, surprising fact: They’d calculated that if Howard residents spent just 10 percent more of their disposable income at home, they would boost the local economy by $7 million. A year later, South Dakota’s Department of Revenue released an astonishing number: The amount of money spent in Miner County had increased by $15.6 million, more than twice the increase the kids had expected. Kathy Callies was raised on a farm south of Howard. Following graduation from Howard High she attended Dakota State University and completed her bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1983.

11 former teammates helped build case against Armstrong Eddie Pells Associated Press
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency says 11 of Lance Armstrong’s former teammates testified against him in its investigation of the cyclist, revealing “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.’’ USADA will deliver its reasoned decision against Armstrong later Wednesday, a summary of the facts it used to hand him a lifetime suspension and erase his seven Tour de France titles. In a news release previewing the decision, USADA CEO Travis Tygart said it would include more than 1,000 pages of evidence. He listed 11 of Armstrong’s former teammates, including George Hincapie, Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton, as among those providing evidence that led to the sanction. Armstrong spokesman Mark Fabiani declined immediate comment, referring to a letter the cyclist’s attorney sent to USADA on Tuesday. The letter accused USADA of acting as “prosecutor, judge, jury, appellate court and executioner’’ in issuing a “biased, one-sided and untested version of events.’’ It also renewed Armstrong’s assertion that witnesses, particularly riders, were offered deals of reduced punishments in exchange for their testimony against him. Aware of the criticism it has faced from Armstrong and his legion of followers, Tygart insisted USADA handled this case under the same rules as any other. “We focused solely on finding the truth without being influ-
statement published shortly after USADA’s release. “I would have been much more comfortable talking only about myself, but understood that I was obligated to tell the truth about everything I knew. So that is what I did.’’ Tygart said all the facts in the Armstrong case and the cases of six other riders targeted in USADA’s investigation would be made available on the agency’s website later Wednesday. Two other players in the Postal team’s circle, Dr. Michele Ferrari and
Dr. Garcia del Moral, also received lifetime bans as part of the case. Three other members of the USPS team will take their cases to arbitration. They are team director Johan Bruyneel, team doctor Pedro Celaya and team trainer Jose “Pepe’’ Marti. Armstrong chose not to pursue the case and instead accepted the sanction, though he has persistently argued that the USADA system was rigged against him, calling the agency’s effort a “witch hunt’’ that used special rules it doesn’t follow in all its other
cases. The UCI has asked for details of the case before it decides whether to sign off on the sanctions. The federation has 21 days to appeal the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. USADA has said it doesn’t need UCI’s approval and Armstrong’s penalties already are in place. The report also will go to the World AntiDoping Agency, which also has the right to appeal, but so far has supported USADA’s position in the Armstrong case.

In delivering the report to the International Cycling Union (UCI), Tygart called for the federation to create a meaningful program to help clean up the sport. Tygart said the evidence shows the code of silence that dominated cycling has been shattered. He said evidence from 26 people, including 15 riders with knowl-
edge of the U.S. Postal Service Team’s doping activities, provided material for the report. It was with the USPS team that Armstrong won all but one of his Tour titles from 19992005. Other cyclists named in the news release were Toronto cyclist Michael Barry, Frankie Andreu, Tom Danielson, Levi Leipheimer, Stephen Swart, Christian Vande Velde, Jonathan Vaughters and David Zabriskie. In the letter to USADA lawyers, Armstrong’s lawyer dis-
missed any evidence provided by Landis and Hamilton, calling them “serial perjurers and have told diametrically contradictory stories under oath.’’ Hincapie’s role in the investigation could be more damaging, as he was one of Armstrong’s closest and most loyal teammates through the years. “Two years ago, I was approached by U.S. federal investigators, and more recently by USADA, and asked to tell of my personal experience in these matters,’’ the cyclist said in a
Mystery monkey of Tampa Bay bites woman in unprovoked attack Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Wildlife officials in Florida say the mystery monkey of Tampa Bay bit a woman during an unprovoked attack in St. Petersburg. Florida Fish and Wildlife spokesman Gary Morse says the woman was sitting outside Tues-
day when the monkey bit her on the back. The Tampa Bay Times reports the incident was reported to wildlife officials, who sent a trapper to the area. The wild rhesus macaque has become famous in the Tampa Bay area. It has a Facebook page and has been featured on Come-
dy Central’s Colbert Report. The elusive monkey has been spotted numerous times in the Tampa Bay area in recent years. Officials have warned the public against feeding the monkey. Officials believe the monkey was cast out of a colony in Silver Springs near Ocala.

Man’s roach-eating death raises questions of why he did it – and why he died Associated Press
MIAMI — As a Florida medical examiner tries to determine how 32-year-old Edward Archbold died after eating insects during a contest to win a snake, people around the country are asking: Why? Why would anyone eat a live cockroach? Why did he die when several others in the contest ate the same bugs without incident? What inspired Archbold — who was described by the snake store owner as “the life of the party’’ — to shovel handfuls of crickets, worms and cockroaches into his mouth? While eating bugs is normal in many parts of the world, the practice is taboo in the U.S. and many western countries. Yet people do it for the shock factor, and many do so during contests or dares; just last
year, folks ate Madagascar cockroaches at a Six Flags in Illinois for a chance to win park passes. Also last year, people ate live roaches at the Exploreum Science Center in Mobile, Ala. A few years back at Universal Studios in Orlando, contestants in a theme park show purportedly consumed a mix of sour milk, mystery meat and bugs. Competitive eaters — like the participants who scarf down hot dogs on Coney Island on the Fourth of July — are quick to distance themselves from stunts like cockroach eating. Competitive eating is regulated, has rules, and always has a licensed emergency medical technician on hand at every event. Lou Manza, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College, said folks who participate in extreme events
like bug eating “are looking for things to make life interesting.’’ “At a certain level we’re all looking for things to break up the monotony,’’ said Manza, who participates in extreme marathons and says some people think that is odd. Extreme eaters also participate mostly for fame and not material goods — and they train heavily for events. Manza added that amateurs don’t “think things through’’ when throwing themselves into weird and possibly dangerous competitions. Case in point: In 2007, a 28-year-old mother of three died after participating in a California radio station contest called “Hold Your Wee for a Wii,’’ where she tried to drink large quantities of water without urinating in order to win a gaming console. Overconsump-
tion of water throws the body’s electrolyte balance out of whack and can be fatal. What made Archbold participate in the bugeating contest is a bit unclear; he had eaten bugs before, said his girlfriend. He had planned on giving the female python to a friend if he won. Natasha Proffitt, 27, of West Palm Beach, said Archbold told her about the contest just hours before it started on Friday. When she asked him if it was a good idea, he said “it was not a big deal.’’ The store, Ben Siegel Reptiles in Deerfield Beach, had been touting the contest for days on its popular Facebook page. Sarah Bernard, an entomology student at the University of Florida, attended the contest and shot video on her phone of Archbold dur-

This frame grab made from video on Friday, Oct. 5, 2012, and provided by John-Patrick McNown shows Edward Archbold competing in a roach-eating contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach, Fla. ing the competition. He won the contest. Bernard said she did not see Archbold immediately after the competition ended. She recalled that an announcer said “the winner was
vomiting somewhere and we’ll congratulate him when he comes back.’’ Archbold, of West Palm Beach, collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward
Sheriff’s Office statement released Monday. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were awaiting autopsy results to determine a cause of death.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You hit a wall of confusion. Step back, and allow the situation to unravel naturally. Focus on work -- whatever that may look like for you -- and worry less about gathering information. You’ll discover a hands-off approach that will help clarity develop. Tonight: Remember, you need to take a break sometimes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have difficulty grasping a longterm desire. Frustration emerges, yet you are able to get to the bottom of a problem. If you need to, choose an easy stressbuster in order to relax; take a walk around the block, for example. Your creativity soars, and answers appear. Tonight: Time for some fun. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Complete tasks in the morning. In the afternoon, a gentle haze moves in. Before you realize it, you could be walking in a fog. It’s not just you -- others feel similarly. Forcing clarity will only compound the situation. You might become frustrated, but on the other hand, you also might find time to do something you have been putting off. Tonight: At home.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Allow openness in financial discussions. You might be unusually resourceful, but others cannot hear your suggestions. Communication allows greater give-and-take, but don’t make any decisions just yet. Use care around machinery and all electronic items, as your mind easily drifts to yonder lands. Tonight: Share a dream. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Get an early start on the day. Listen to your instincts regarding your assets, which could involve an innate talent. You might decide not to let a conversation drag you down; however, ignoring it might not be the best idea, either. Frustration fuels anger. Tonight: Choose a stressbuster. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Listen before acting on a decision. More information might come in. Given time, your conclusion could change. Uncertainty prevails in the evening, even though you have a lot of energy and want to get moving. Do only what you are 100 percent sure about. Tonight: Finally, others follow your lead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) How you feel in the morning might be very different from your mood in the evening. Clarify important details, and follow through on what

you feel counts. Interpersonal relationships will be highlighted. Your ability to create and imagine remains high. Tap into that energy later today. Tonight: Make it exclusive. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might feel as if you are always behind the podium directing. An undefined swing of events or a change in energy finds you on the lead horse. As a result, success seems guaranteed. You might be stunned by the difference between reality and your perceptions. Tonight: Where people are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out for more information. A long-distance contact could be involved. You might be unsure of which way to head, as you juggle your home life with different, and nearly opposing, interests. Give time a chance to work its magic, and you will like the results. Tonight: Into the wee hours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your imagination blazes in a discussion, and what emerges is a willingness to break past self-imposed mental boundaries. The ability to conceptualize and express some of your thoughts could be difficult later. Just wait a day or two, and try not to worry so much. Tonight: Let your mind lead the way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A partner or friend is relieved. Finally, you make time for him or her. Your recent popularity has been overwhelming, and this person has powerful feedback for you, if you are willing to listen. Confusion surrounds money. Be careful when dealing with an associate who expresses his or her anger. Pull back some. Tonight: Go for something cozy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your understanding could be distinctly altered by the rose-colored shades you’re wearing. You could find yourself feeling disappointed, but realize that the cause is your distorted reality. Much can be said about positive thinking. Forget losing your temper. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

By Hillary B. Price
Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband is a wonderful man in almost every respect. But when we are in the car together, he uses road rage to manipulate me into agreeing to things I don’t want. He’ll drive threateningly if I don’t say it’s OK for him to take that fishing trip or go to a movie. When he is the driver, he controls everyone because we are dependent on him. I have pointed this out to him, but it always ends in a terrible fight. Worse, he punishes me by saying, “I will never take that trip again,” or “I won’t go to that movie with you.” He accuses me of provoking him. My husband’s nephew was the target of the same abuse when we traveled together recently. The boy was behaving like an angel, when suddenly my husband became enraged and demanded all sorts of concessions from his nephew. For the longest time, I didn’t realize what was going on. I thought he just couldn’t handle driving. What I didn’t understand is that he uses road rage as a form of bullying and abuse. I don’t know how I was so blind for so many years. It is the perfect tool to get away with whatever he wants. It also is a form of torture, because he makes us feel responsible should he have an accident. I don’t know whether we will ever go on another trip together or even to a movie, but I am willing to go by myself or with a friend -- and my husband knows it. I have no idea where our marriage is headed after 24 years, but I am preparing myself to do whatever it takes. I don’t believe he would go for counseling, but I refuse to let him drive me anywhere ever again. -- Virginia Wife Dear Virginia: You are wise not to get into a car with this maniac. Since your husband is “wonderful” when he isn’t driving, however, please reconsider counseling. You don’t know how he will respond until you ask and make it clear how unhappy you are about such manipulative, controlling behavior. (But go in separate cars.) Dear Annie: Members of my family love to extend invitations to birthday parties at a restaurant of their choice, and they expect you to bring a gift and pay for your own meal. It is my understanding that the host handles the food bill in expectation that the guests will bring gifts and have a great time. This is the way I have known it to be done. Now that I live in the South, social etiquette among my family members has become strained and has caused me to decline invitations. -- Confused in N.C. Dear Confused: The hosts should pay for the food. Unfortunately, many folks don’t realize this or don’t care. In your case, however, you already know that your relatives expect you to foot your own bill, so consider these invitations “pot luck” and accept or decline according to your preference. Dear Annie: I’m sorry it has taken me this long to reply to “Clueless on Cancer Etiquette.” It is refreshing to hear from someone who cares enough not to ask the wrong questions. I’m an 87-year-old WW II veteran with stage 4 cancer. I’d suggest “Clueless” be friendly, caring and cheerful, and not ask about their illness. Let them open the conversation about cancer if they want to discuss it. We want our friends to behave the same as always so we can enjoy each other’s company. When my wife was sick with cancer, her so-called “friends” stayed away as if she were contagious. Only one made any attempt to cheer her up by having breakfast with her every day. That was the only food my wife would eat, as she was otherwise too depressed. Thank you, “Clueless,” for your thoughtfulness. -- Mike Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Man behind anti-Muslim film to appear in court Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A California man with many aliases who was behind an anti-Muslim film that sparked violence in the Middle East is expected to be asked by a judge Wednesday whether he violated his probation for a 2010 bank fraud conviction. Federal prosecutors said Mark Basseley Youssef, 55, had eight probation violations, including lying to his probation officer and using aliases. If Youssef denies those allegations, a judge will then likely schedule an evidentiary hearing. Youssef has been in a federal detention centre since Sept. 28 after he was arrested for the probation violations and deemed a flight risk by a magistrate judge. He went into hiding after a 14-minute trailer for the movie “Innocence of Muslims’’ was posted on YouTube. Angry protests stoked by the film broke out in Egypt and Libya and violence related to the film has spread, killing dozens. Enraged Muslims demanded punishment for Youssef, and a Pakistani cabinet minister has offered a $100,000 bounty to anyone who kills him. Federal authorities have said Youssef isn’t behind bars because of the film or its content,
Nakoula, authorities said. Youssef used a third name, Sam Bacile, in association with the film. Authorities said Youssef used more than a dozen aliases and opened about 60 bank accounts and had more than 600 credit and

They said Youssef hasn’t been truthful about his identity, using different names after he was convicted in 2010 of bank fraud. Youssef was sentenced to 21 months in prison. He was barred from using computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer, though prosecutors said none of the violations involved the Internet. An email left for Youssef’s attorney, Steven Seiden, was not im-
mediately returned Tuesday. At least three names have been revealed to be associated with Youssef in the past several weeks. Court documents show Youssef legally changed his name from Nakoula Basseley Nakoula in 2002, but never told federal authorities, who used that as part of the probation violation case against him. Youssef, an Egyptianborn Christian who’s now a U.S. citizen, sought to obtain a passport in his new name but still had a California driver’s license as

debit cards to conduct a check fraud scheme. When he was identified as Nakoula after the movie trailer went viral, federal probation officials questioned him. He denied using the name Sam Bacile, which was listed on the YouTube account that post-
ed the trailer, and said his role in the film was limited to writing the script. Tess Lopez, a former federal probation officer who now is a sentencing consultant in Northern California, said if federal prosecutors can prove Youssef
violated his probation, it’s likely he would receive more prison time because the new allegations are similar to the original crime. “Given the nature of the conviction, it would normally warrant a prison sentence,’’ Lopez said.

Finalists named in National Book Award Associated Press
NEW YORK — Robert Caro, Junot Diaz and the late Anthony Shadid were among the finalists announced Wednesday for the National Book Awards. Other nominees included the novelists Dave Eggers and Louise Erdrich and nonfiction writers Anne Applebaum and Katherine Boo. Twenty authors, five each in four competitive categories, were picked. The winners will be announced Nov. 14 at a ceremony hosted by the commentator and performer Faith Salie. Major New York publishers have complained in recent years that such high profile books as Jonathan
Franzen’s “Freedom’’ and Jeffrey Eugenides’ “The Marriage Plot’’ have been overlooked in favour of more obscure titles. But this year’s picks include some of the
most talked about literary works of 2012, from Caro’s “The Passage of Power,’’ the fourth of his epic Lyndon Johnson series; to Diaz’s “This is How You Lose Her,’’ a series of stories about love; to Katherine Boo’s “Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity,’’ widely praised as a masterpiece of nonfiction narrative. The nominees include five Pulitzer Prize winners (Caro, Shadid and Anne Applebaum among them), a National Book Award winner (Caro) and two MacArthur “genius’’ grant recipients, most recently Diaz. Judges also picked five debut books, including
Kevin Powers’ “The Yellow Birds,’’ which some critics have cited as a rare major novel about the Iraq war; and Domingo Martinez’s “The Boy Kings of Texas,’’ a memoir. Panels of fellow writers that change each year choose the awards. The NBAs are administered by the non-profit National Book Foundation, which has long sought to strike a balance between making the awards a mark of literary excellence and of popular appeal. Past hosts of the ceremony have included Steve Martin and Garrison Keillor and this year’s picks were revealed Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.’’
Book foundation executive director Harold Augenbraum said that no changes were made in the selection process, but that extra steps were added to prevent a fiasco like in 2011, when a miscommunication between judges and the foundation led to Lauren Myracle’s being mistakenly announced as a young people’s literature finalist. Her nomination was then withdrawn, a humiliation for the author and an embarrassment for the awards. “When the panel chair called in we asked for author, title, and publisher,’’ Augenbraum said of this year’s process. “Then we pulled our copies of the

books, checked the information, and then later a different staff person called the panel chair back to verify all the information.’’ The fiction finalists were Diaz, Powers, Eggers (“A Hologram for the King’’), Erdrich (“The Round House’’) and Ben Fountain, for “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk.’’ Besides Caro, Martinez and Boo, nonfiction nominees were Applebaum for “Iron Curtain’’ and Shadid for the memoir “House of Stone.’’ Shadid, a New York Times foreign correspondent who previously worked for the Washington Post and The Associated Press, died of an asthma attack in February at age 43.

Charttopping soprano ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ books a trip to space aims for Broadway in 2013 Mark Kennedy Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — Sarah Brightman, the world’s biggest selling soprano, says she has booked a trip to the International Space Station. Brightman, who had a hit in 1978 with “I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper,’’ will become the first recording artist in space. The British singer said Wednesday that after touring the world in 2013 for her new album, Dreamchaser, she will spend six months in Russia’s Star City cosmonaut training centre. Brightman, a UNESCO ambassador, said the trip would also serve as a way to promote the U.N. agency’s message, in particular by encouraging women’s education in the sciences and environmental awareness. She hinted at the possibility of doing a promotional “space

Headstone of late British TV host removed after sexual assault allegations Associated Press
LONDON — The headstone at the grave of a British children’s television host has been removed after police said Jimmy Savile may have sexually assaulted more than 20 girls over a 40-year period. Funeral director Robert Morphit said Wednesday that Savile’s family had asked him to remove the stone to “protect the dignity and sanctity’’ of the cemetery in Scarborough in northeastern England.
He said the stone was removed in three pieces and will be sent to a landfill. Savile, who died last year aged 84, was one of Britain’s best-known TV personalities. The Metropolitan Police said Tuesday it had received eight criminal allegations against Savile, including two of rape and six of indecent assault, primarily against girls aged 13 to 16. The force believes there were up to 25 victims.

NEW YORK — There’s a fresh push to get Holly Golightly onto a Broadway stage. Producers said Wednesday that a new adaptation of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s’’ is aiming for a Shubert theatre in New York City in February 2013. The world premiere will be directed by Sean Mathias. The stage adaption of Truman Capote’s classic 1958 novella will star Emilia Clarke of HBO’s “Game of Thrones’’ as the eccentric party girl Golightly, a role Audrey Hepburn played to acclaim in the 1961 movie. Pulitzer Prize-finalist and Tony Award-winning playwright Richard Greenberg will pen the
book. His other plays include “Take Me Out’’ and “Three Days of Rain.’’ The movie tidied and glossed over the deeply tragic undercurrent of Capote’s story: an aimless bachelorette who uses sugar daddies as her income and a crutch to avoid the pain of her past. “The goal of this version is to return to the original setting of the novella, which is the New York of the Second World War, as well as to resume its tone — still stylish and romantic, yes, but rougher-edged and more candid than people generally remember,’’ Greenberg said in a statement. A stage version was first attempted in 1966 but was shuttered after

I’m enough per cent that in Canada I can get free gas.” Bieber to Rolling Stone, August 2012 (Just so we’re clear, this Bieber fact is not true.

and many other daily tasks. Not only must we be able to interpret the written word, we need the skills to evaluate this information. What does the food label ‘light’ really mean? When is an email from a stranger legitimate, and when is it spam? How do interest rates really affect me as a consumer? The ability to answer these questions hinges on one thing: literacy skills. “Literacy skills impact our lives and communities in ways that might surprise you,” said Ali Wassing, CBAL (Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy) Executive Director. “Studies show a strong correlation between high literacy levels, good health and low unemployment. Ultimately, a community is more resilient when its citizens have strong literacy skills.”
Since 2003, community literacy organizations throughout BC, such as CBAL, have had provincial support to develop community literacy planning committees. They discuss, plan and take action on literacy development for all ages and all needs. Decoda Community Literacy Planning Guide says: “It is in communities themselves that literacy is practiced and sustained. Therefore, community engagement is essential to creating an environment in which literacy programs can be successful.” Council of the Ministers of Education, Canada (2009) Literacy : More than Words; Progress Report on Literacy. In 2007, the province asked boards of education to be more actively involved. They are now responsible for submitting District Literacy
Plans to the Ministry of Education. This comprehensive, annual document combines community literacy plans into one document for each school district. Community members representing public health, school districts, colleges, municipalities, Chambers of Commerce, Early Childhood Development teams, libraries, community services, employment agencies and many others come together as Community Literacy Planning Committees to discuss local needs. “Interesting partnerships develop and important resources are shared at these community planning meetings,” said Betty Knight, CBAL Regional Program Manager, East Kootenay. “Everyone benefits.” Books for Babies,
Luv to Learn, Parents as Literacy Supporters, Parents Reading, Children Succeeding, Oneto-One Reading, Young Parents Education Program, Seniors Computers and English Conversation groups are just a few of the programs introduced through the community planning process. As awareness grows around health and financial literacy, and of how many aspects of daily life are impacted by literacy, the need for these community collaborations becomes more important. This year, the Community Literacy Planning Committees are opening their doors wider, hosting open discussions about literacy service gaps, assets and possible solutions. “We hope these meetings will draw more community mem-
bers into a broader discussion of literacy and lifelong, life-wide learning,” said Desneiges Profili, CBAL Regional Program Manager, West Kootenays. “Everyone should be involved in literacy planning, because literacy affects everyone.” If you are interested in being a part of your community literacy planning process, visit www.cbal.org and contact your community literacy coordinator. Please support the Black Press and CBAL Reach-A-Reader campaign in your community. The funds you donate when you buy a paper will go toward local literacy programs, and community literacy planning.

Moscow appeals court frees one Pussy Riot member Nataliya Vasilye va Associated Press
MOSCOW — One jailed member of the punk band Pussy Riot unexpectedly walked free from a Moscow courtroom, but the other two now head toward a harsh punishment for their irreverent protest against President Vladimir Putin: a penal colony. The split ruling by the appeals court Wednesday added further controversy to a case that has been seized upon in the West as a symbol of Putin’s intensifying crackdown on dissent. All three women were convicted in August of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred and sentenced to two years in prison. They argued in court on Wednesday that their impromptu performance inside Moscow’s main cathedral in February was political in nature and not an attack on religion. The Moscow City Court ruled that Yekaterina Samutsevich’s sentence should be suspended because she was thrown out of the cathedral by guards before she could remove her guitar from its case and thus did not take part in the performance. The two other defendants squealed with joy and hugged Samutsevich before she was led from the courtroom to be mobbed by friends and journalists waiting outside on the street.

“If we unintentionally offended any believers with our actions, we express our apologies,’’ said Samutsevich, who along with Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova spoke in court Wednesday from inside a glass cage known colloqui-
ally as the “aquarium.’’ “The idea of the protest was political, not religious,’’ she said. “In this and in previous protests we acted against the current government of the president, and against the Russian Orthodox Church as an institution of the Russian government, against the political comments of the Russian patriarch. Exactly because of this I don’t consider that I committed a crime.’’ Rights groups were frustrated by the appeals court decision. “To see these two women sent to a Russian penal colony for the crime of singing a song undercuts any claim that Putin and the Russian government have to democracy and freedom of expression,’’ Suzanne Nossel, executive director of Amnesty International USA, said Wednesday in a telephone interview from Washington. Putin recently said the two-year sentences were justified because “it is impermissible to undermine our moral foundations, moral values, to try to destroy the country.’’ Defence lawyers said his remarks amounted to pressure on the appeals court. The appeal was postponed from Oct. 1 after Samutsevich fired her lawyers, a move prosecutors criticized at the time as a delaying tactic. Her father said the appointment of the new lawyer was decisive in securing the suspended sentence.
“This is a great happiness to me,’’ Stanislav Samutsevich said. “But I feel sorry for other girls. They did not deserve such cruel punishment.’’ His daughter, a computer programmer and artist, said she would campaign for the release of the other Pussy Riot members. “Of course, I will, naturally. They are my friends and companions in arms,’’ Samutsevich, who at 30 is the oldest of the three, told journalists outside the courtroom. Members of the original defence team, who have been outspoken in their fierce criticism of the Kremlin, said they suspected political manoeuvrings. “We are dealing with a political game that could be about splitting Pussy Riot,’’ defence lawyer Mark Feygin said. The judge repeatedly interrupted the defendants when their statements turned to politics, but they persisted in speaking their minds. “We will not be silent. And even if we are in Mordovia or Siberia (regions where prisoners in Russia are often sent to serve out their terms) we won’t be silent,’’ Alekhina said. Defence attorney Nikolai Polozov said the two women would receive copies of their sentences within two weeks and then transported to a penal colony; the location was as yet unknown. Once convicted, all Russian prisoners serve time in penal colonies.
Taliban shooting of teenage activist sparks outrage Associated Press
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Schools shut their doors in protest and Pakistanis across the country held vigils Wednesday to pray for a 14-year-old girl who was shot by a Taliban gunman after daring to advocate education for girls and criticize the militant group. The shooting of Malala Yousufzai on Tuesday in the town of Mingora in the volatile Swat Valley horrified Pakistanis across the religious, political and ethnic spectrum. Many in the country hoped the attack and the outrage it has sparked will be a turning point in Pakistan’s long-running battle against the Taliban, which still enjoys considerable public support for fighting U.S. forces in neighbouring Afghanistan. A Taliban gunman walked up to a bus taking children home from school and shot Malala in the head and neck. Another girl on the bus was also wounded. Pictures of the vehicle showed bloodstained seats where the girls were sitting. Malala appeared to be out of immediate danger after doctors operated on her early Wednesday to remove a bullet lodged in her neck. But she remained in intensive care at a hospital in the northwestern city of Peshawar, and Pakistan’s Interior Minister said the next 48 hours would be crucial. Small rallies and prayer sessions were held for her in Mingora, the eastern city of Lahore, the southern port city of Karachi and the capital of Islamabad. In newspapers, on TV and in social media forums, Pakistanis voiced their disgust with the attack, and expressed their admiration for a girl who spoke out against the Taliban when few dared. Even the country’s top military officer — a man who rarely makes public statements — condemned the shooting and visited the Peshawar hospital to check on the teenager.
“In attacking Malala, the terrorist have failed to grasp that she is not only an individual, but an icon of courage and hope who vindicates the great sacrifices that the people of Swat and the nation gave, for wresting the valley from the scourge of terrorism,’’ Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani said in a statement. In Washington, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton praised the young Pakistani girl. “She was attacked and shot by extremists who don’t want girls to have an education and don’t want girls to speak for themselves, and don’t want girls to become leaders,’’ she said. Malala is admired across Pakistan for exposing the Taliban’s atrocities and advocating girls’ education in the face of religious extremism. At the age of 11, she began writing a blog under a pseudonym for the BBC about life under the Taliban in the Swat Valley. After the military ousted the militants in 2009, she began publicly speaking out about the need for girls’ education, something the Taliban strongly opposes. The group claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s attack, vowed to target her again. Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said authorities have identified her attackers and know how they got into the valley, but no arrests have been made. The news that surgeons were able to remove a bullet lodged in Malala’s neck was greeted with relief by many. But even with such an outpouring of grief and outrage in Pakistan over the young girl’s shooting, it was unclear whether it would indeed trigger a shift in public opinion against the Taliban. Many in Pakistan view the group as waging a noble fight against U.S. troops that invaded another Muslim country, Afghanistan, and argue that the Taliban problem within Paki-

They argue that Taliban attacks against targets in Pakistan aim to punish the government in Islamabad for its alliance with Washington. “Pakistan society is polarized on who is doing terrorism,’’ said Hasan-Askari Rizvi, a political analyst in Lahore. He said that divide has been evident even in the public condemnations of the attack, with some people speaking out strongly against the Taliban while others have criticized the government for failing to protect Malala. The Pakistani military has been waging a deadly fight in the tribal regions against militants at a cost of about 4,000 soldiers killed. But critics, especially in the U.S., accuse the
army of going after militants that attack the Pakistani state while cultivating others that it feels will be useful someday in Afghanistan. Still, there is a precedent in Pakistan of Taliban excesses provoking public outrage, which the military has then capitalized on to move against the militants. In 2009, after a video surfaced of militants publicly whipping a woman, purportedly in the Swat Valley, triggered a wave of public revulsion, the army felt empowered enough to launch a major offensive against the Taliban in the area. Government forces flushed the militants out of the scenic valley, but failed to capture or kill the movement’s senior leaders.

Lynda LaBoucane March 20, 1963 September 15, 2010.
In Memory A thousand times we needed you, A thousand times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. A heart of gold stopped beating, two twinkling eyes closed to rest. God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best. Never a day goes by that you’re not in my heart and my soul.
Loving you always... Raymond, Kyle, Ryan, Mom & Family.
Sex and the Kitty A single unspayed cat can produce 470,000 offspring in just seven years. Sadly, most of them end up abandoned at BC SPCA shelters or condemned to a grim life on the streets. Be responsible - don’t litter.
Dustin is smiling at the libary!

ANNE GUILBAULT 1931 - 2012 Anne Guilbault passed away peacefully in her sleep on the morning of Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at the age of 81 years. She was born in Manitoba on July 11, 1931 to Neufrey and Christina Kolansky. Anne leaves to cherish her memory her children: Rick Dreger (Kitty), Lynn Gustum (Robert), Winnie Gjerde (Grant), Joyce Dreger, Myrna Dreger (Ted), Gordon Dreger, Debbie Taylor (Gordon), Martin Guilbault (Val), Bernice Holm, Gail Guilbault (Tom) and Eric Guilbault. She also leaves an abundance of grandchildren and great grandchildren who were all very special to her. She leaves behind three siblings as well. Anne was predeceased by her first husband, Bill Dreger, her second husband, Curly Guilbault and six of her nine siblings. Anne loved music and taught guitar to many students. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t teach for monetary gain but for the true love she had for music. She had the biggest heart and loved everybody - especially children. As a mother and a grandmother she has left a legacy for all of us. She always gave genuinely of herself, never thinking of her own needs first. Her worth was truly far above that of rubies. Proverbs 31:10â&#x20AC;? Who can find a worthy woman? For her price is far above rubies.â&#x20AC;? Visitation will be held on Sunday, October 14, 2012 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm at Mark Memorial Funeral Home, 2024 Industrial Road No. 2, Cranbrook, BC. A Funeral Service for Anne will be on Monday, October 15, 2012 at 10:00 am at Mark Memorial Funeral Home with interment to follow in Westlawn Cemetery. If friends desire, memorial donations may be made in Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, #200 - 4940 Canada Way, Burnaby, BC V5G 4K6. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com. Mark Memorial Funeral Services in care of arrangements (250) 426-4864.

With very heavy hearts and great sorrow we wish to announce the passing of our beloved James (Jim) Douglas. Jim leaves behind his loving wife Grace (Terry), having spent 52 precious years together, his children Pamela (Scott Liddle and his children, Brodie and Braiden) and Clinton (Jennifer Bjarnson and her children, Desirae & Donald). He was an amazing father, friend, mentor and guardian angel. Jim also leaves behind Pamela’s two children, Nicholas and Jordan van Essen along with his “Japanese grandson”, Toru Nanami. He was so incredibly proud of them and was heavily involved in everything they did. “Grandpa Jim” was known to many and well loved by all, children and adults alike. His easy going nature endeared him to everyone who knew him as he always had a smile on his face and a hearty laugh on his lips. He would always be the first person to lend a helping hand to those in need. He is also survived by his brother Charlie Gillies (Anna) and his sister Catherine McIntosh and their families, all of which still reside in Scotland. Jim at age 12, was predeceased by his mother Rebecca Douglas, his father, James Douglas and stepmother, Isabelle Douglas, along with his sister, Jean Atten. Most recently he lost his brother in law, Sandy McIntosh. Jim came to Canada from Paisley, Scotland in 1956 and in the years that followed worked as a miner and shift boss for Eldorado Nuclear LTD, Teck Cominco and Giant Yellowknife mines. He loved to work and was respected and well liked by his crews and colleagues. His life long passion was being a Freemason having belonged to the Uranium City Masonic Lodge and the Selkirk Lodge in Kimberley. He was very proud of earning his 32nd Scottish Rite Degree. Jim leaves us with a legacy of love, laughter, friendship and compassion for his fellow man. We are truly blessed with such good fortune to have had him in our lives. He can never be forgotten as he gave us too much to remember. Thinking of him is easy, we do it everyday, but missing him is the heartache that never goes away... A Memorial Service for James Ralston Douglas is to be held on Oct 13, 2012 at 4:00 pm at the McPherson Funeral Home, 1885 Warren Avenue in Kimberley, B.C. Friends and relatives are welcome to come to an informal gathering at the family home thereafter. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim’s name may be made to the Salvation Army or the Kimberley Food Bank.
