City engineer wins B.C. award Bullying rally

Jamie Hodge recognized for Cranbrook’s wastewater improvements S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff

Cranbrook’s lead engineer has been recognized by his peers with an award for the city’s wastewater upgrades. Jamie Hodge accepted the 2012 Sustainability Award from the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of B.C. during its annual conference October 25 to 27 in Victoria. The award from Hodge’s peers recognizes the upgrades to

Cranbrook’s wastewater treatment system since 2008. The project upgrades nearly every component of the city’s wastewater and spray irrigation system, originally constructed in the 1970s. Cranbrook’s sewage is filtered at lagoons on the outskirts of the city, then piped to farming fields in Mayook. There the effluent is treated and applied to pastures and crops used by local ranchers. It’s the second award

Cranbrook has received for its upgrades to the system. In February, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities honoured the city with its Sustainable Communities Award for Water. “It’s the crowning achievement. In four years, I don’t think I’ve had such a wonderful award,” said Hodge. When the second phase of the upgrades is complete, Cranbrook’s wastewater system will exceed new federal re-

quirements announced earlier this year, which have sent many other municipalities across the country scrambling. “This is the second award the project has received. Jamie is well deserving of it. He has poured his heart into trying to make this a better system over the past couple of years,” said Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski. “It’s important the system be sustainable and that the good work our staff do on it gets recognized.”

It was the start of something big when community leaders gathered at Rotary Park for a bullying rally on Saturday, November 10. Organized by two local moms, Renee Savarie and Danielle Port, who wanted to mark the end of bullying in the community, the rally drew out supporters and local politicians to say once and for all that bullying is not allowed in B.C. Pink was the colour of choice for many attendees, who wore it to symbolize the colour

that has been chosen to represent anti-bullying. Members of Cranbrook City Council were among the speakers at the weekend event. Mayor Wayne Stetski said he believes the community is at the very beginning of an important movement. “I think what we need to do collectively is to make bullying totally unacceptable from a social perspective. It’s an issue that of course is front and centre right now,” Stetski said.

Pet business seeks votes to be B.C.’s best

thursday, november 15, 2012

Local NEWS

Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

A growing local pet grooming and boarding business is looking for votes from the community to become one of B.C.’s best. The Playpen Pet Boarding and Grooming is among 26 other businesses in the province up for Best Company Award from Small Business BC’s annual Successful You awards. The business has been burgeoning since its humble beginnings four and a half years ago and has undergone expansion not only physically but in staff as well. Karla Shalley said she couldn’t have done it without her base of 1,000 loyal customers that have seen a 3,000 square foot expansion including the addition of pet groomers and a new small dog escape for boarding toy breeds. “They have their own space,” Shalley said of the smaller dog breeds that spend time at the boarding facility. The company has been in operation for less than five years, but it has already gone from just Shalley and one part-time employee to eight employees. Shalley said one of her greatest accomplishments has been sending several of her staff away to school to become dog groomers, further expanding what she can offer clients. “We’ve expanded quite drastically in the four and a half years we’ve been in business,” she said. The Playpen now boasts four professional pet stylists. Shalley said the Playpen has elevated the pet boarding industry, providing what she says is a fivestar experience in a two-star industry. “It’s a home away from home,” she said. “Our number one is care of our clients.” It’s easy to tell when a customer is happy at the Playpen. Shalley said it’s all in the wagging tails and the trouble pet owners have getting their cats and dogs to leave after a stay. But the Playpen’s footprint — or shall we say, pawprint — on the Cranbrook community has been much larger than just providing a comfortable, fun place for dogs and cats to stay when their owners go on vacation. Shalley said the business has been a big supporter of the East Kootenay SPCA and has donated funds to set up bins for pet waste throughout the city. Bins have or are in the process of being set up at Idlewild, the Community Forest, Elizabeth Lake and more. In total, the Playpen has contributed $15,000 to the community over its years. “We’re very community based,” she said. The business has also helped home several dogs that were without a loving family, and they rescued a dog from euthanization. “We’re very passionate about animals,” Shalley said. “We’ve been really instrumental in a lot of community-based projects.” The Successful You awards are for B.C. businesses with 50 or less employees. All the votes are tallied based on population, which gives a business like Shalley’s Playpen an even chance over those with a larger customer base in metropolitan areas like Vancouver. “Obviously we have a smaller customer base than those in Vancouver,” Shalley said. “We only have thousands of people who actually live here. It makes it fair.” The company put its own name forward, and from there the votes stream in to name the winner. Voting has opened and will run until December 13, when the top 10 finalists will be chosen. Judges will announce the top five businesses who will win it all on January 30, 2013. Voting can be done online at www.successfulyou.ca and the winners will be announced at the Successful You Awards Ceremony on February 28, 2013.

Community health workers out on one-day job action Cranbrook Public Health Unit was reduced to limited services Wednesday S a l ly M ac D o n a l d Townsman Staff

Community health workers were on strike in Cranbrook on Wednesday, November 14, causing a cut in services at the Cranbrook Health Unit. Interior Health workers in the B.C. Government and Service Employee’s Union (BCGEU) and the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1518 picketed outside the Health Unit (Rocky Mountain House) from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday. The striking Interior Health employees included licensed practical nurses (LPNs), community and mental health workers, and administration, As a result, Interior Health announced that the unit would not be per-

forming Prevention and Promotion immunizations, non-essential new baby home visits, diabetic education visits, assessments for home health services, occupational and physical therapist visits, or mental health counselling appointments. The health unit remained open throughout the day with limited services for urgent mental health intake, home support services and community care nursing. Community health care workers have been in bargaining talks with the Health Employers Association of B.C. (HEABC) since January 2012 for a new collective agreement. “When the bargaining first started, the government said we needed a coop-

erative gains mandate and there was no money available,” said Lorraine Ausman, a Cranbrook member of the UFCW. “(We are picketing) to get a fair and reasonable wage without offsetting through our collective agreement,” added Doris Erickson, a local BCGEU member. Ausman said large pieces of the collective agreement have yet to be agreed upon. “Anything deemed monetary is still outstanding,” she said. Community health bargaining stalled on November 1, and job action commenced with a rally for health care in Vancouver on November 7. Strike notice for Cranbrook’s one day job action was issued late last week.

There’s power in the picking of the pull tabs CAROLYN GRANT Daily Bulletin

If you’ve ever wondered if it was still worth it to collect pull tabs off cans — it is. Myra Farquhar takes on the job of collecting pull tabs in Kimberley (you can drop them

at Curves or at Myra’s home at 960 Rotary Drive) and she recently turned in two 12 gallon containers to Ronald McDonald House in Calgary. In a letter, Larry Mathieson, Executive Director for Ronald McDonald House Southern Al-

berta, told Myra that they were able to provide much needed support and compassionate home environment to families and their ill children because of generous gifts like the pull tabs. He encouraged local residents to continue to support

Ronald McDonald House by saving pull tabs. Non-profit organizations turn them in for recycling and while it may not seem like a lot of money, every penny helps to provide services for families with sick kids.

With a little over six weeks until the end of the year, Cranbrook residents have taken all 200 rebates for low-flow toilets from city hall. Now in its third year, the city’s Low Flow Toilet Rebate program has handed out a total of 600 rebates to residents who replace large-volume toilets with either lowflow or dual-flush fixtures in their homes. The program is a large part of the city’s overall water conservation initiative, and the $50 rebate encourages residents to help the environment and reduce the amount of water the city’s water and sewer systems needs to deal with each day. The city offered recognition for the Regional District of East Kootenay and the Cranbrook Transfer Station staff, who support the program by taking the old toilets people have replaced. Council is yet to decide whether to continue the rebate program next year. However, if it does go ahead, rebates will likely be available once more in May 2013.

I have total peace of mind knowing there is staff on site 24 hours a day, that she has company for dinner every night, and that the staff is there to tend to her needs. I am so happy that my mom lives at Garden View.

Rally the start of something big Continued from page 1 Other speakers admitted they had experienced bullying. Savarie urged the attendees to stand up to preventable tragedies like suicides and bullying and start a change for the better. Councillor Sharon Cross said she herself had seen bullying first hand, and that it sometimes extends beyond public school into adult life. “Being a person who has taken a lot of stands in my life I’ve been subject to public criticism and subtle aggression so it’s something that I understand exists not only with children, but as we heard today, adults as well,” Cross said. “It’s really time to take a stand against that and be more inclusive and embrace diversity.” Cross said when diversity is celebrated, great ideas can come forward to make the world a better place. “It’s been my experience that through diversity of opinion and actions that the best solutions come forward and we need to embrace it and be more inclusive in our community instead of pushing back because it’s different,” she said. MLA for Kootenay East and Minister for Community, Sport and Cultural Development Bill Bennett said he sometimes hears of serious instances of bullying in his office when all other options have been exhausted. “It’s a really important issue and I have some files in my office right now involving bullying,” Bennett said, adding that he has a file each from Cranbrook and the Elk Valley that

Young Life sends leaders out into the community to get in touch with youth right where they are. Jarvis said it gives children leadership skills they need to spread the message to their peers. “We don’t essentially need a centre for kids – we know where they are. So just go where they are and have the courage to introduce yourself,” Jarvis said.

City of Kimberley Neighbourhood Outdoor Ice Rink The City of Kimberley is offering interested residents and neighbourhood volunteers the opportunity to enjoy a community/ neighbourhood outdoor ice rink. Neighbourhood volunteers will flood and maintain the outdoor rinks. The Rinks will be set up at Stemwinder Park and/or Garden Park. Volunteer/resident commitment is an essential requirement to establish and maintain these neighbourhood rinks. For more information on the neighbourhood rink program, please contact the Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department at City Hall at 250427-5311, ext.# 213, by November 23, 2012.

Young Life leaders coach soccer or help out with drama clubs to provide youth with a role model they may not already have in their lives. “It provides leadership to the kids on two levels: one is that we teach it to them but on the best level is that we exemplify it for them,” he said. Bennett said as an MLA he wants to keep the issue of bullying top of mind, especially to those who don’t fully understand it. “Anything that I can do in my role as an MLA to draw attention to bullying and how serious it is and the fact that it exists right under our nose,” he said. “Most people never get exposed to it – lucky for

them – but they need to know it’s happening all around them.” Stetski said it’s important that victims know where they can get help and that they report incidents when they are involved in or witness bullying. He also believes a campaign much like Mothers Against Drunk Driving or D.A.R.E. Canada would go a long way. “In the end I think it has to be a consistent message and the examples I used were, ‘don’t drink and drive,’ ‘say no to drugs’ and the efforts that have gone into those over the years starts to eventually have an impact,” Stetski said. “What we need is the same kind of focus on bullying.”

Karen Silkwood The best book about Karen Silkwood is probably the one no one has read. Soon after her death, her roommate and fellow Kerr-McGee employee Sherri Ellis spent five years writing a large book on what truly happened. She had showed a complete manuscript to a number of people connected with the events, but then nothing happened, and the book was never published. In 2002 Ellis was shot by police after grabbing a policeman’s gun. This occurred after Ellis had spent the previous week phoning the media, stating “Karen Silkwood Was Murdered” (Ellis was treated in her local hospital and released; at the time she appeared to be suffering from paranoia and delusions. She passed away just last week from cancer). One last book has appeared recently, titled “The Death of Karen Silkwood” by Joyce Hannam. Of all the above books, this one might be the most important, as it is part of Oxford’s Bookworm Series: A series developed for young people who are struggling with or just uninterested in reading. The brave whistleblower who died far too young continues to have a lasting and positive impact. Mike Selby is Reference Librarian at the Cranbrook Public Library

Manny and I had occasion to talk from time to time, and although we didn’t agree about our spiritual lives, I deeply appreciated the few times we were able to spend together. He was a gift to us all, a fellow traveller, a wise and faithful man who had much to teach us. His passion for life will live on in so many different ways. He communicated his passion in ways that touched many in this town, and all around the world. The strength of his friendships, and the love of those who knew him will continue to keep his legacy alive in the world. Someone pointed me to a video of Manny in which he expressed some of his last thoughts. Two things he said struck me deeply. “God is dreaming and we are the dream.” I can whole–heartedly agree with that comment. He ended the video, “You’re in this world as a gift from God to the world, so get busy doing it. That’s my final word.” I am grateful to have known ManWoman. I celebrate the gift that he was in my life and in the life of the world. I will get busy trying to be the same kind of gift he was. Rev. Yme Woensdregt Cranbrook

AGW I would like to respond to Carmen Purdy’s comments about human-caused

(anthropogenic) Global Warming. The charges he makes against AGW science are severe, just as are the possible results if the government backs any kind of policy based on fiction instead of fact. Very bad news. On the other side, we have possible human, animal, and flora displacement, the spreading of disease, rising of the seas, extreme weather, and pretty crappy ski seasons in the short-term. The long term forecast for Global warming is much, much worse. Given these options, I think we all can agree that we should use the utmost caution in choosing policies, and check all the facts. Unfortunately, he only gives one source for his views, a book by Ian Plimer. A short internet search on his authorship is not very flattering. He is a geologist, former director of several mining companies, and most recently appointed to the boards of Roy Hill Holdings and Queensland Coal Investments in Australia. He IS NOT a climate scientist. His work has been debunked in several publications, including the Australian Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, who created a special booklet with the coincidentally titled “Accurate Answers to Professor Plimer’s 101 Climate Change Science Questions”. I suggest Mr. Purdy read it, to get a larger, more balanced view. I have tried to read all sides of the argument. Some denialist theories are enticing, but ultimately not satisfactory. They usually point to some natural factor in climate change; cosmic rays, natural fluctua-

tion, or in Plimer’s case, volcanic CO2. However, on closer inspection, none of them adequately describe our situation, and almost always fail to answer why all the extra greenhouse gases that we are adding are not doing their job of insulating us more as they increase. There are holes in the AGW theory, no doubt. But those are ones the climatologists themselves admit. The science is not complete, but what science ever is? The fact that the majority of climatologists and scientific organizations are now certain enough of the evidence to support the theory that man is changing the chemical balance of the atmosphere with dangerously unknown results should make some sort of statement contradicting Mr. Purdy’s assertion that AWG is a dying and discredited theory. Unless he has more information he has not revealed, I am of the opinion that the book he has based his opinions on is discredited. Perhaps he may find better science from actual climatologists, such as the world’s foremost authority, Dr James Hansen, the head of NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. I feel the danger of Global Warming is real, and we need to start moving our society rather radically in order to adapt to the newly emerging reality. Whether the use of carbon credits proved to be a valid policy is undecided, but at any rate, something must be done. Ben Gibson Cranbrook

The Kootenay Ice celebrate a goal scored against the Calgary Hitmen during School Spirit Night last season.

Ice hope to pack the house for School Spirit Night TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Ice host the Brandon Wheat Kings on Friday evening and hope to do it in front of a packed house for School Spirit Night. The Kootenay Ice have been in contact with different schools in the district, and are looking to build off of last year’s success, which filled roughly 3,200 seats. The team wants it to be bigger and better this year, and three $500 prizes, supplied by Western Financial Group, are on the line for the schools that shows the most spirit. It’s not quantity, but quality that counts. Students are encouraged to wear school colours and cheer loud to represent their school as Kootenay takes on the Wheaties. An anonymous judge will take in the atmosphere and hand out the three prizes accordingly before the end of the night. Schools have been liaising with the Kootenay Ice office and students can talk to their teachers or principals at their schools to get ahold of tickets at a discounted price The Ice played the Calgary Hitmen for

School Spirit Night last season in March, beating them in a tight 2-1 affair. “It was a good atmosphere, having all the kids come in make some noise, it adds a lot more excitement to the building,” said defenceman Joey Leach. “It was good to have them in there to fill the stands for us and it was pretty awesome.” Sophmore Jon Martin agreed with his defenceman, noting that a loud building gets the adrenaline flowing before and during the game. “It was great, the atmosphere was great. It was the fullest rink I’ve

seen since I’ve been here for sure,” Martin said. “It was loud, the energy level was good, the guys were going because we’re not used to that in this rink. “It just gets us going, gets us excited to play and that loud atmosphere just really gets us pumped up.” Sp e a k i ng of pumped up, the Ice are riding their high of snapping their eightgame losing streak in Calgary on Monday as they shut out the Hitmen 4-0. Brock Montgomery recorded his first career hat trick and goaltender Mackenzie

Skapski notched his second-career shutout, facing a measly 15 shots. “We played solid and Skapper played solid for us. He made some big saves for us to keep us in it,” said Leach. “We kept them to the outside and limited them to the outside and limited their chances and that’s obviously going to give us a chance if we can do that every single night.” Martin credits hard work in practice as the reason that gave his team the edge. “We came with a lot of energy,” Martin

said. “We’ve really been bearing down in practice the last couple days, really focusing on the simple things, doing everything right, communicating and it all just panned into the game.” The Wheaties roll into town for a double header on the weekend, playing two consecutive games at Western Financial Place on Friday and Saturday night. Brandon (9-9-2-1) is coming off a fivegame home stand, where they won only two contests.

Nitros earn road win against Rockies, prepare for weekend home set TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

A surge of five goals in the third period lifted the Kimberley Dynamiters 6-1 over the Columbia Valley Rockies in Invermere on Tuesday night. Both teams ended the middle frame tied at one goal apiece, but five even-strength goals over the span of 16 minutes gave Kimberley the win. Bryce Halverson stood in goal for the Nitros, stopping 25 shots for the win while Stewart

Pratt took the loss for the Rockies, making 24 saves in defeat. Both teams failed to convert on the powerplay; Kimberley had nine chances, while Columbia Valley had six. No scoring occurred in the the opening period, even though the Nitros outshot their hosts. Eight minutes into the middle frame, Eric Buckley scored, but the Rockies pulled even with five minutes to go on an effort from Jerome

Thorne. However, the floodgates opened four minutes into the third period. Adam Hodge got the ball rolling, and Sam Nigg scored three minutes later. Two minutes after Nigg scored, Jason Richter increased the lead to three. Jared Marchi and scored late in the game, while Tyson Klingspohn nearly had a buzzer beater with three seconds left on the clock for

his goal. Kimberley is second in the Eddie Mountain division behind the Fernie Ghostriders, who are ahead by three points. The Nitros face the Nelson Leafs on Friday and the Spokane Braves on Sunday. The Leafs are the top-ranked team in the KIJHL and are on a 10-game win streak. The Braves have struggled recently, dropping six of their last eight games and sit 15th overall in the league.

Team WHL shuts out Russia in shootout C anadian Press

VANCOUVER - Laurent Brossoit has returned to the form that won the Edmonton Oil Kings the Western Hockey League championship last season. And that was bad news for Team Russia. Brossoit stopped 30 shots and all three shooters in the shootout to lead the WHL all-stars to a 1-0 win over the Nail Yakupov-led Russians on Wednesday in the fifth game of the Subway Super Series. Brossoit stopped each of the Russian shooters in the shootout, including Yakupov, last summer’s first-overall draft choice by the Edmonton Oilers. He came in slowly but it didn’t fool the 19-year-old netminder. “I had no idea what he was going to do,” said Brossoit. “I’ve never seen them, especially in a shootout. When he came down slow it was different, and I knew he had a lot of skill so I just made sure I watched the puck and I was lucky enough to get my stick on it.” Brossoit, a Calgary Flames draft choice, hails from Surrey, B.C, not far from the Pacific Coliseum. After a tough start to this WHL season he has been hot the last couple weeks heading into this series. “I’m feeling way better than I was at the start of the season,” said Brossoit. “I didn’t get off, statistically, to the start I wanted to.” Brossoit’s past experience and his recent play was the reason he got the nod to start over Eric Comrie, not just because of Brossoit’s connection to the Vancouver area. “He’s got experience at the international level and is on the radar for

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck

the national team,” said WHL head coach Don Nachbaur. “He deserved the chance to be in the net and didn’t disappoint.” “It was a perfect game for me,” said Brossoit. “I’m hoping to continue that for tomorrow.” Hunter Shinkaruk, Mark McNeill and Sam Reinhart scored in the shootout. “We knew how much speed and skill they had and they showed that all night, especially in the second period,” said Reinhart. “Both goalies played great and it was just a fun game all around.” Though Shinkaruk’s goal was technically the winner, it was Reinhart that ended the shootout with the third tally, dekeing goaltender Andrei Makarov and sliding it around his pad. “It’s the only move I ever really do,” said Reinhart. Makarov made 35 saves for Russia. Russia split the first four games of the Super Series, winning 6-2 and

losing 5-2 to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and then swapping 2-1 victories with the Ontario Hockey League. The final game of the series is Thursday in Victoria. “To win the first one is behind us now,” said Nachbaur. “Now we have a chance to win the series tomorrow.” After not seeing a lot of quality shots in the first, Brossoit came up big in the second period

when Evgeni Mozer got a breakaway before stymying him with a pad save. “The first period I felt a little bit sloppy, to be honest,” said Brossoit. “I was glad that I got my feet under me and started watching the puck.” The Team WHL’s best second-period chance came with about six minutes to go in the period when Reinhart intercepted a clearing attempt by the goaltender and quickly shot the

puck from the side boards but Makarov got a piece of it to keep the game scoreless. “He misplayed the puck in the corner and I knew (Curtis Lazar) was going to the net and was pretty open,” said Reinhart. “I didn’t realize he went the backside around the net. It just missed and was too hard for Lazar to handle. Anytime you get an opportunity like that you definitely look to capitalize on it.”

Prizes and bragging rights on the line for School Spirit Night Continued from page 8 Alessio Bertaggia leads the Wheaties in points, with 25 in 21 games, while the defence features Ryan Pulock, a highly-touted prospect in this year’s NHL Draft. WHL NOTES: The hammer came down in Red Deer on Wednesday, as Rebels’ general manager Brent Sutter

fired his head coach, Jesse Wallin, and hired Jeff Truitt as an associate coach. Sutter, who will take over head coaching responsibilities in the interim, retained Bryce Thoma, who is Wallin’s assistant. Truitt has WHL coaching experience as an assistant with the Hurricanes and the

Rockets, taking over the head coaching job of the latter for three years before graduating to the AHL for a few seasons. In another big move, the team parted ways with Charles Inglis, who led the team in scoring, sending him home to await a trade. No explanation was given on the decision to remove the 20-year-old veteran from the roster.

Price wins AL Cy Young, Mets’ Dickey gets NL nod Mike Fitzpatrick Associated Press

NEW YORK - David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays and knuckleballer R.A. Dickey of the New York Mets won baseball’s Cy Young awards on Wednesday. Price barely beat out 2011 winner Justin Verlander for the American League prize in one of the closest votes ever. Dickey was an easy choice for the NL honour in balloting by the Baseball Writers’ Asso-

ciation of America. The 38-year-old Dickey became the first pitcher who relied predominantly on a knuckleball to win the Cy Young Award, an achievement mentors such as Hall of Famer Phil Niekro are quite proud of. Runner-up two years ago in the Cy Young race, Price was the pick this time for the AL’s top pitching prize. He received 14 of 28 firstplace votes to edge Ver-

lander, chosen first on 13 ballots. Other than a 1969 tie between Mike Cuellar and Denny McLain, it was the tightest race in the history of the AL award. Rays closer Fernando Rodney got the other first-place vote and came in fifth. Price went 20-5 to tie Jered Weaver for the American League lead in victories and winning percentage. The 27-year-old lefty had the

lowest ERA at 2.56 and finished sixth in strikeouts with 205. Verlander, also the league MVP a year ago, followed that up by going 17-8 with a 2.64 ERA and pitching the Detroit Tigers to the World Series. He led the majors in strikeouts (239), innings (238 1-3) and complete games (six). Price tossed 211 innings in 31 starts, while Verlander made 33. One factor that might have

swung some votes, however: Price faced stiffer competition in the rugged AL East than Verlander did in the AL Central. Weaver came in third with 70 points, but was listed second on a pair of ballots. The righthander threw a no-hitter and had a 2.81 ERA in his first 20-win season but missed time with injuries and totalled only 188 2-3 innings for the Los Angeles Angels.

MIAMI - The attendance-challenged Miami Marlins have antagonized fans yet again by deciding a low-budget team is good enough for their new ballpark. A blockbuster trade sending three stars to Toronto could save Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria $150 million, which prompted a backlash from South Floridians angered by the team’s latest payroll purge. “Everybody in the world wants to talk about the Marlins and the fact they’re now a Triple-A team,” said city commissioner Marc Sarnoff, who was an opponent of the ballpark project. “The Marlins have lost pretty much all credibility with fans. Even if this trade is a positive move from a baseball standpoint, it won’t be viewed by the general public as a positive move.”

Miami traded AllStar shortstop Jose Reyes, left-hander Mark Buehrle and right-hander Josh Johnson as part of the deal, which awaited final approval Wednesday pending physicals for the players. Among the players the Blue Jays gave up were shortstops Yunel Escobar and Adeiny Hechavarria, right-hander Henderson Alvarez and several top minorleague prospects. Many fan complaints involved the ballpark, which was paid for mostly with taxpayer money as Loria promised a new era of higher payrolls and more competitive teams. The ballpark opened this year and is state of the art, but the team suddenly is looking like the same old Marlins. Loria declined to talk with reporters as he passed through the hotel lobby at the owners meetings in Chicago.

Skier Lindsey Vonn released from hospital Associated Press

Lindsey Vonn has been released from a hospital in Colorado, although details of her illness remain unclear and there is no indication of when she can begin skiing again. Vonn’s publicist Lewis Kay says in an email that “Lindsey is

feeling much better today and has been released from the hospital. She is resting comfortably at home. Doctors are still working to determine what specifically was the cause of her illness but thankfully she has responded well to their treatment. We do not know when

Olympic sports get corporate funding Scot t Edmonds Canadian Press

The Canadian Olympic Committee will be almost doubling its financial support for Olympic sports over the next four years with an injection of about $100 million, president Marcel Aubut said Wednesday. Ottawa has also promised to keep its funding for Olympic sport intact, he said. “This money ... coming from the (federal) government, . . . plus the $100 million, will guarantee a bright and golden future for Canadian Olympic athletes,” he said on a conference call that included presidents of some of the national sports federations. Aubut says the COC spent somewhere just over $50 million over the last four years, with almost all of it coming from corporate donors, and is only able to increase that amount because of their support. “This announcement would not be possible without the unbelievable support of Canada’s corporate community,” he said. The $100 million will go to support both summer and winter events as well as to prepare for the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto. It represents an injection of

close to $50 million in new money, Aubut said. When pressed for more information on where the new money is coming from, Aubut pointed to the extended sponsorship agreements already announced this year.

“I think, after Vancouver, we know now that it’s OK to participate, but it’s a very good feeling to win and to be a part of the top countries in the world. Money makes it possible. ” Marie-Claire Rouleau “We have already announced huge agreements with the Hudson’s Bay Co., with Royal Bank of Canada RBC, with Suncor, with General Mills, with Bell Canada, with Air Canada.” Aubut said there are more deals to come before Christmas and some next year. But he provided only broad strokes to describe where the money will go. “One, absolute priority (is) high-performance sport. Two, games preparation. Three, best-in class . . . and four, a specific envelope, a very unique

envelope, for the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games.” He promised a series of more detailed announcements across the country to flesh out where the money will be spent. Aubut says the money will be part of the 2013 to 2016 highperformance action plan for athletes, coaches and national sport federations. “Athletes and coaches are at the centre of everything we do,” he said. The announcement was welcomed by the leaders of some of Canada’s national sports federations. “I think, after Vancouver, we know now that it’s OK to participate but it’s a very good feeling to win and to be part of the top countries in the world,” said Marie-Claire Rouleau, president of Speedksating Canada. “Money makes it possible.” Rebecca Khoury of Karate Canada gave credit to Aubut and the COC for their work. “Once again the team of the Canadian Olympic Committee has more than delivered for the country,” she said. The commitment Aubut says he has received from Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Bal Gosal, the minister of state for sport, is also good news for Canadian athletes.

features The Plan is working The BC Jobs Plan has helped generate employment from the province’s northern gas fields to its southern ski slopes

By Frank O’Brien

rom gas workers to ski instructors, British Columbia is creating tens of thousands of jobs as part of an aggressive plan to make the province number one in job growth in Canada. The strategy is working. Shell Canada and other resource companies are now chartering flights, some of them 737 jets, four-to-five times a week into the North Peace Regional Airport to transport workers to the giant natural gas fields that have transformed the communities of Fort Nelson, Fort St. John, Fort St. James and Dawson Creek. Today more than 12,000 people work in B.C.’s gas industry. By 2035, that number is expected to increase to 40,000, according to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. In October, Spectra

Energy and the UK’s BG Group announced the start of a multibilliondollar natural gas pipeline that will run from south of Dawson Creek west to a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Prince Rupert. According to Spectra, the pipeline will generate 4,000 jobs during construction. The BC Jobs Plan is an aggressive and multitiered provincial focus on job creation that has recorded startling success during its first year. More than 51,000 jobs have been created since the Jobs Plan began, putting B.C. in first place for job growth in Canada. Skills training is one of three pillars that anchor the $500 million BC Jobs Plan. It also includes expanding global markets for B.C. products and services and working closely on job creation with employers

and communities. Projects ranging from shipbuilding to natural gas, mining to manufacturing, and transportation to commercial/residential development, all need workers. Since 2006, employment in the mining, oil and gas extraction sectors has surged 24.7% and shows no sign of slowing: $48 billion will be invested in LNG alone between 2013 and 2022. Yet it’s not only resource towns that have benefited from the job creation. Ski centres from Whistler to the Kootenays are also sharing in the Jobs Plan. This October in Toronto, the province kicked off its $1.55 million Tourism BC “Ski It to Believe It” marketing campaign with Olympic gold medallist Ashleigh McIvor. The campaign is aimed at attracting more visitors to B.C.’s 13 ski

Spectra Energy

B.C. Premier Christy Clark shares a laugh with workers during the opening of Spectra Energy’s Dawson Processing Plant in Dawson Creek this summer. In October, Spectra Energy announced plans for a $4 billion, 700-kilometre natural gas pipeline that will run west to a new liquefied natural gas plant in Prince Rupert.

resorts. Tourism provides jobs for one out of every 15 employees in B.C., noted Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation, and pumps $13.4 billion into the economy annually. So far, the comprehensive BC Jobs Plan has reached eight of 19 targets set last year, with 11 more on track to be ac-

complished, according to Bell. “Since our Jobs Plan was launched one year ago, B.C. has been on a roll. The unprecedented amount of investment we’ve seen will help to keep our economy stable during globally turbulent economic times as well as protect and create jobs for decades to come.”

NEW SKILLS MEANS NEW OPPORTUNITIES With the BC Jobs Plan, there will be 1,000,000 job openings created by 2020 – 43% will require skilled workers. That’s why we have a plan to ensure British Columbians are first in line for the good jobs being created here at home: } Upgrading equipment and improving access to

teachers, so British Columbians get the best skills training. } Matching skills to jobs, and jobs to skills, with the

Turkey Drive Day

Live in Concert

Wednesday, December 5th Did you know the need for Christmas Hampers in our community is in excess of 750 this year? With the average Christmas hamper costing approximately $85.00 that means that both the Salvation Army and the Cranbrook Food Bank need $64,000 to fill that need. For the past few years, the Cranbrook & District Chamber of Commerce has spearheaded the annual Turkey Drive and has been able to provide funding to these hard working agencies. The community has helped us raise over $40,000 for these agencies and that means you have helped to fund 30% of the need. The Directors & staff of the Cranbrook & District Chamber of Commerce need your support. We want to ensure that every family in Cranbrook will enjoy a Christmas Dinner. Join us on December 5th by pledging or donating to purchase a turkey. It’s simple and inexpensive. Only $20.00. Jason Wheeldon, CTC (Chief Turkey Chair) and Warren Bedell are once again chairing this important event.

Author Dr. Gabor Maté to speak in Cranbrook Fostering Health in a Stressed Society; From ADD to Addictions

TO W N S M A N S TA F F

Renowned author and MD Gabor Maté will be in Cranbrook on November 21 and 22 to give two presentations. On Wednesday evening at 7:30, he will present Fostering Health in a Stressed Society: The Social Basis of Illness and Wellbeing. “This talk takes a look at the toll we’re paying—in our bodies and in our healthcare system—by not acknowledging our stress and the impact it has,” says Krystal Oleson, with Life Roots Consulting. Life Roots is hosting Dr. Maté’s Cranbrook presentations. “It’s a message we need to hear in our society.” On Thursday, starting at 9 am, Dr. Maté will present From ADD to Addictions: Understanding the Links, Causes and Treatment. This presentation looks holistically at the two conditions. “It’s important because it speaks to the restlessness that resides in so many of us,” Oleson says. “We see the person that’s down and out because of

Gabor Maté substance abuse as the person with the problem. In reality, so many of us have neurotic behaviors in our lives that come from the same restless place.” Both presentations will take place at the Heritage Inn Ballroom in Cranbrook. “Dr. Maté will be giving lots of time for questions and answers,” Oleson

says. “There will be a coffee break with light refreshments and handouts for people to take with them.” Dr. Maté’s books are available in Cranbrook at Lotus Books. Tickets for both presentations are also available at Lotus Books, and on the website, www.LifeRootsConsulting. com. The presentations are a follow-up to Dr. Gordon Neufeld’s trip to Cranbrook in 2010. Neufeld and Maté co-authored the book Hold on to Your Kids, which explains the causes of the crucial breakdown of parental influence—and demonstrates ways to “reattach” to sons and daughters, establish the proper hierarchy in the home, make kids feel safe and understood, and earn back children’s loyalty and love. “Dr. Maté is a great thinker and a compassionate leader,” Oleson says. “His wisdom is much needed in our society and I’m happy to host him in Cranbrook.”

Man in vegetative state communicates for first time in a decade Linda Nguyen Canadian Press

TORONTO — For more than a decade, Scott Routley has been living in a vegetative state. He can’t talk. He can’t move. And although his eyes are open, no one is sure whether he can see. But now, for the first time, doctors caring for the 39-year-old London, Ont., man say they know he’s not in pain. And they learned it from Routley himself, by analyzing his brain waves when they asked him. “This was a landmark moment for us because for the first time, a patient can actually tell us information, important information about how they’re feeling and their current situation,’’ said lead researcher Dr. Adrian Owen on Tuesday. The medical breakthrough, believed to be the only time a severely brain injured patient has been able to relay clinically relevant information to their doctors, is being touted as a new way to possibly improve their quality of care. Owen, who is the head of the Brain and Mind Institute at the University of Western Ontario, says research

published online last year in The Lancet shows that one in five of these patients are conscious, but essentially trapped in their bodies because they’re unable to communicate verbally or physically. His team has been working for the past year trying to determine whether Routley, who became vegetative following a car crash 12 years ago, had any “residual brain activity’’ and how much he was able to understand them. Last June, the doctors employed a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine (fMRI) to see if they would be able to analyze his brain patterns. They told Routley that they wanted him to imagine that he was playing tennis if he wasn’t in pain or imagine that he was walking around his house if he was in pain. The thought process involved in playing a complex sport like tennis triggers the part of the brain that controls motor skills, while thinking about walking around your house triggers visual associations — contained in a separate area of the brain. With the fMRI, doctors were able to mea-

tal tool for the medical community to assess whether a vegetative patient wants to live or die. But Young warned that it would only be helpful if there was a reliable test available to determine if the patient was psychologically sound, and able to make and convey their wishes. “One has to establish, though, that apart from these simple responses to these simple

commands, they are able to think in a deeper and more profound way about their quality of life and their wishes and goals and what they would prefer,’’ he said. Routley, who is currently living at the Parkwood Hospital in London, is among several vegetative Canadian and British patients featured in a documentary airing Tuesday on the BBC.

Owen says for now, this technology is effective in determining responses to simple yes or no questions but may eventually pave the way for vegetative patients to communicate on a regular basis using a computer-assisted interface. “We can use this

type of technology to ask them what sort of entertainment they want to be exposed to? Do they want to watch TV or do they want to listen to music? What type of music? What time would they like to be fed... activities of daily living which are entirely under the control of these people around them, the people caring for them,’’ he said. “We can now ask the

patients about these things and give them a role in the decision making that governs their life.’’ Neurologist Dr. Bryan Young says Routley’s family has always been “convinced’’ that he was awake and aware in his state. He says this technology has the potential to become an instrumen-

More Canadians donating to charity C anadian Press

TORONTO — A new survey suggests more Canadians are willing to loosen their purse strings for charity. The BMO Harris Private Banking poll found 79 per cent of those surveyed had given to charity over the past 12 months. That was up sharply

from 68 per cent recorded in last year’s poll. The survey suggests Canadians are also willing to dig deeper into their wallets than last year, with the average donation rising to $557 from $487 in 2011. BMO’s Marvi Ricker says the spike can be chalked up in part to

Ottawa turns down funding request for wildfire prevention John Cot ter Canadian Press

Shawn Atleo, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, is shown at a press conference in Ottawa on Wednesday, January 25, 2012.

National chief vents First Nations frustrations to Harper C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Assembly of First Nations is warning the prime minister that Canada’s aboriginal communities are at the end of their rope. A sharply worded letter to Stephen Harper from AFN National Chief Shawn Atleo suggests the government’s bid to boost First Nations independence and prosperity, launched amid much fanfare in January, is collapsing. The letter, sent last month along with a longer, more detailed version for Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan, was obtained by The Canadian Press.

It says Harper has made no progress on the issues he promised to address — education, comprehensive claims, treaty implementation, economic development and fiscal arrangements. Instead, Atleo says Harper is continuing to push legislation and a fragmented agenda he knows First Nations will oppose, eroding what little trust existed between natives and the Crown. Government insiders express similar frustrations with First Nations leaders, however, saying aboriginal communities themselves don’t have a clear, united idea of what they want.

EDMONTON — The federal government has turned down a funding request from a group that is working to protect communities from wildfires such as the ones last year that ravaged Slave Lake in northern Alberta. FireSmart Canada says it asked Ottawa for about $1 million in seed money to help get a national program off the ground. The money was to be used to develop and promote a national standard for wildfire prevention planning for municipalities within forests and for rural homeowners. Tom Burton, president of the non-profit organization, said Public Safety Canada rejected the request. “The FireSmart program really isn’t high on the priority list right now with the federal government,’’ Burton said. “We are disappointed.’’

The wildfires that swept through Slave Lake in May 2011 caused more than $1 billion in property damage and firefighting and rebuilding costs. Some of the bill was covered by insurance, some of it by taxpayers. FireSmart Canada is run by volunteers and representatives who work for such organizations as the Canadian Forest Service and Parks Canada. It also includes the British Columbia, Alberta and municipal governments. The program they’ve come up with includes tips for municipalities and homeowners on how to clear brush and trees away from buildings, explains the need to establish fire breaks around communities and urges a wildfire evacuation strategy. Using donations, the group launched a website last summer to serve as a foundation for its efforts. Executive director Kelly

Edmonton police won’t let convicted killer have his slasher movie back C anadian Press

EDMONTON — Edmonton police have blocked an attempt by convicted killer Mark Twitchell to get a slasher movie he shot out of the evidence lock up. Twitchell was found guilty in the first-degree murder of Johnny Altinger, who thought

he was going to meet a woman from the Internet when he showed up at the killer’s home. Twitchell ambushed Altinger, clobbered him on the skull, knifed him in the chest and throat, watched him bleed out on the floor of his garage and dismembered him. Twitchell claimed

O’Shea said it is difficult to understand the federal government’s response to their modest request for $1 million over two years — especially in light of what happened in Slave Lake. “When you consider one fire resulted in over $1 billion in damages and firefighting costs, it is peanuts, really,’’ O’Shea said. “A lot of people think that Slave Lake was a one-off and that it is not going to happen again. We are convinced that it will happen again, and it is really just a matter of time, when and where.’’ Public Safety Canada received the funding request last year. The department informed FireSmart Canada of its decision a few weeks ago. “Public Safety Canada does not have the mechanism at this time through which such a funding request can be considered,’’ Jean Paul Duval, a department spokesman, said from Ottawa.

he was trying to convince Altinger to take part in a publicity stunt for a slasher movie Twitchell had shot. Police seized hours and hours of film footage shot by Twitchell. Staff Sgt. Bill Clark, lead investigator in the case, said Twitchell recently sent a friend to try and get the film back. “Obviously we’re not going to give it back just because someone comes and requests it, especially when that someone is not technically the owner of it,’’ said Clark. He said there is some

fear that Twitchell could profit from the footage. “We’ve had other prisoners who have tried to write books,’’ said Clark. “It’s quite possible and quite logical. Knowing Twitchell and the way he thinks and that type of personality, he’s going to be thinking he’s out in 25 years.’’ The film footage was held as potential evidence in the murder trial, but never entered. One of the videos he wants access to is “House of Cards,’’ a short film that mimics the killing of Altinger.

Australians bring man accused of sexually assaulting children back to B.C. C ANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A man who fled the country after being accused of sexually assaulting children is now back in police custody in British Columbia. Jamieson Glendinning was escorted back to Vancouver by Australian authorities last week and immediately arrested by Delta police officers. A warrant was issued for Glendinning after he failed to show up for a

court appearance last June. The man was arrested in October in Sydney, Australia. Glendinning faces charges of indecent assault, gross indecency and sexual assault involving children dating back to when he was connected to the Tsawwassen Amateur Baseball Association for a decade starting in 1985. His next court appearance is set for Nov. 20.

Israeli airstrikes kill commander of Hamas military wing Associated Press

AP Photo/Adel Hana

People look at a wreckage of the car in which was killed Ahmed Jabari, head of the Hamas military wing in Gaza City, Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012.

Israel killed the commander of the Hamas military wing in one of some 20 airstrikes on the Gaza Strip Wednesday, the heaviest barrage on the Palestinian territory in four years in retaliation for renewed rocket fire on southern Israel. Gaza’s health minister said 10 people were killed - two of them young children - while the Israeli military said its attack was just the beginning of a major offensive and warned it could escalate with a

ground attack. Palestinian militants responded to the attack with renewed rocket fire. The military said its “Iron Dome’’ defence system intercepted 13 rockets from Gaza. Israeli media said the rockets were shot down over the city of Beersheba. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel could not tolerate rocket attacks against its citizens and said the military was prepared to broaden its operation against Hamas targets in Gaza.

The killing of Ahmad Jabari marked a dramatic resumption of Israel’s policy of assassinating Palestinian militant leaders. He was the most senior Hamas official to be killed since the last war in Gaza ended in early 2009. He has long topped Israel’s most-wanted list, blamed for a string of deadly attacks, including the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit in 2006. The military said its aircraft targeted more than 20 facilities that

served as storage or launching sites for rockets. Among the weapons destroyed were rockets that could hit as far as 40 kilometres into Israel. Plumes of black smoke wafted into Gaza City’s skies following at least five airstrikes there. Sirens blared as people ran in panic in the streets and militants fired angrily into the air. Gaza Health Minister Dr. Mufeed Mkhallalati said a total of 10 people were killed, including Jabari, and 45 wounded, 10 of them in critical condition. Among the dead were three civilians, including an 11-month-old and a 6-year-old. Palestinians called for harsh retaliation. Hamas, which rules Gaza, announced a state of emergency in the territory. It evacuated all its security buildings. Witnesses said Jabari was travelling in a vehicle in Gaza City when the car exploded. Crowds of people and security personnel rushed to the scene of the strike, trying to put out the fire that had engulfed the car and left it a charred shell. Jabari, nicknamed Abu Mohammed, was born in 1960 in the eastern Gaza neighbourhood of Shejaiya. In 2006, he became the acting commander of the military wing of Hamas after his predecessor, Muhammad Deif, was seriously wounded in an Israeli attack. Jabari began as a member of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party, but switched his allegiance to Hamas after serving 13 years in an Israeli prison. He survived four previous attempts by Israel to kill him. In one attempt in 2004 his eldest son, his brother and three other relatives were killed. He was said to have led the bloody 2007 takeover of Gaza from Fatah forces, developing Hamas’s military arsenal and its networks in Iran, Sudan and Lebanon and for his planning of the Schalit kidnapping. Hamas has ruled Gaza with an iron grip since then, and repeated attempts to reconcile with Fatah have failed.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Last May, my children’s father committed suicide. He and I had split up two years before because of his violent ways. Despite my marrying another man, I still cared for my ex and worried about his welfare. I would even sneak him food and pay his electric bill behind my husband’s back. My husband occasionally would forbid my kids and me from having contact with my ex. He had a point. My ex and I had attempted to reconcile in April, but I couldn’t do it. During the drive back to my husband, my ex phoned and begged me to return. I told him I was afraid of him. He yelled, “Nobody will ever have to worry about me anymore.” Twenty minutes later, I received a call from his brother, who found him dead. I blame myself. His family does, too. I didn’t even go to his funeral, because some of his family members had threatened to kill me if I showed up. I feel terrible for my kids and don’t know how to cope. What should I do? Will my kids be OK? -- Distraught Ex Dear Distraught: We are so sorry that you are experiencing this tragedy, but please know that you are not responsible for your ex’s decision to end his life. He sounds like a troubled soul who didn’t believe he had any other way out. Please contact Survivors of Suicide (survivorsofsuicide.com) and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org) to find a support group for you and your children. They will be OK, but they could use some help, and they will need you to guide them. Dear Annie: I am a 56-year-old professional man in nonprofit work. I am outgoing and reasonably intelligent, have a great sense of humor and generally like people. My observation and experience is that most men, especially over 40, have a difficult time making new friends. The married ones tend to rely on their wives. Others rely on family or long-term friendships. But men like me who don’t have wives, whose parents have died, who have no siblings or children, and whose old friends have moved away find it awkward and difficult to reach out. My trainer is 45, outgoing, happily married with two great children, has both sets of parents still alive, is active in church, etc., and even he says he doesn’t know how to make new friends. I realize there is no oneanswer-fits-all, but I’d sure like to know what you and your readers suggest for those of us who are trying to get out of the house, but don’t know where to go. -- Not Anti-Social or Addicted to the Internet Dear Not: Find an activity that you enjoy and that involves other people. Look for community theater or choral groups. Volunteer at hospitals, schools, animal shelters, soup kitchens or for a political candidate. Park districts and local colleges may offer night classes for those who want to improve their education. See whether your health club has a regular spin class or an adult basketball team. If you can afford to travel, sign up for a group tour. We also recommend meetup.com, which facilitates finding people with similar interests of any kind. If our readers have more to add, we’re happy to print additional suggestions. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated in the Midwest,” who is conflicted about his fiancee’s four kids and their lack of responsibility around the house. I’d tell him not to consider marrying that woman until her children are grown. I married a man who had custody of two spoiled brats. He and I got along wonderfully, but with his two teenage kids in the mix, it was pure torture. The best day of my life was when the oldest left and the youngest moved to her mother’s. -- Midwest Evil Stepmom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NEWS Woman dies after Plane crashes into Mississippi home being denied abortion in Ireland Associated Press

ASSOCIATED PRESS

DUBLIN, Ireland — The debate over legalizing abortion in Ireland flared Wednesday after the government confirmed that a woman having a miscarriage was refused an abortion and died in an Irish hospital after suffering from blood poisoning. Prime Minister Enda Kenny said he was awaiting findings from three investigations into the death of Savita Halappanavar, a 31-year-old Indian woman who was 17 weeks pregnant. Her case highlighted the legal limbo in which pregnant women facing severe health problems can find themselves in predominantly Catholic Ireland. Ireland’s constitution officially bans abortion, but a 1992 Supreme Court ruling found the procedure should be legalized for situations when the woman’s life is at risk from continuing the pregnancy. Five governments since have refused to pass a law resolving the confusion, leaving Irish hospitals reluctant to terminate pregnancies except in the most obviously lifethreatening circumstances. The vast bulk of Irish women wanting abortions, an estimated 4,000 per year, simply travel next door to England, where abortion has been legal on demand since 1967. But that option is difficult, if not impossible, for women in failing health. Halappanavar’s husband, Praveen, said doctors at University Hospital Galway in western Ireland determined she was miscarrying within hours of her hospitalization for severe pain on Sunday, Oct. 21. He said over the next three days, doctors refused their requests for an abortion to combat her surging pain and fading health. The hospital declined to say whether doctors believed Halappanavar’s blood poisoning could have been reversed had she received an abortion rather than waiting for the fetus to

die on its own. In a statement, it described its own investigation into the death, and a parallel probe by the government’s Health Service Executive, as “standard practice’’ whenever a pregnant woman dies in a hospital. The Galway coroner also planned a public inquest. “Savita was really in agony. She was very upset, but she accepted she was losing the baby,’’ he told The Irish Times in a telephone interview from Belgaum, southwest India. “When the consultant came on the ward rounds on Monday morning, Savita asked if they could not save the baby, could they induce to end the pregnancy? The consultant said: ‘As long as there is a fetal heartbeat, we can’t do anything.’ He said his wife vomited repeatedly and collapsed in a restroom that night, but doctors wouldn’t terminate the fetus because its heart was still beating. The fetus died the following day and its remains were surgically removed. Within hours, Savita was placed under sedation in intensive care with blood poisoning and he was never able to speak with her again, her husband said. By Saturday, her heart, kidneys and liver had stopped working. She was pronounced dead early Sunday, Oct. 28. Opposition politicians appealed Wednesday for Kenny’s government to introduce legislation immediately to make the 1992 Supreme Court judgment part of statutory law. Irish governments twice have sought public approval to legalize abortion in life-threatening circumstances. Both times voters rejected the proposed amendments. The World Health Organization, meanwhile, identifies Ireland as an unusually safe place to be pregnant. It found that only three out of every 100,000 women die in childbirth in Ireland, compared with an average of 14 in Europe and North America, 190 in Asia and 590 in Africa.

Flames and smoke billow from a home in west Jackson, Miss., Tuesday evening, Nov. 13, 2012, after authorities say a small plane carrying three people crashed into the residence shortly after 5 p.m.

JACKSON, Miss. — Authorities say all three people aboard a plane were killed when it crashed into a house in a Jackson, Miss., neighbourhood. The Piper PA-32 single-engine plane went down Tuesday evening in a neighbourhood of modest, single-family homes near Hawkins Field Airport. Hinds County Coroner Sharon GrishamStewart confirmed three people died. She said dental records or DNA would be needed to confirm their identities. A hospital spokesman says one patient from the scene was in good condition at University of Mississippi Medical Center. He would not give details citing privacy laws.

Man swallows 220 diamonds Hacked California road sign cautions in smuggling attempt Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — Police in South Africa say they’ve arrested a 25-year-old man who swallowed 220 polished diamonds in an attempt to smuggle them out of the country. Capt. Paul Ramaloko of the South African Police Service said investigators arrested the man Tuesday night as he waited in line at security at O.R. Tambo International Airport just outside of Johannesburg.

Ramaloko said a scan of the man’s body showed the diamonds, which later were recovered. He said the man had been on his way to Dubai. Ramaloko said the diamonds are worth about $2.3 million. Authorities believe the man belongs to a smuggling ring, as another man was arrested in March attempting the same thing. South Africa is one of the world’s top diamond producers.

about “loose gorilla” Associated Press

LOOMIS, Calif. — A prankster is changing the message on an electronic traffic warning sign in California. The sign is supposed to tell people that a road will be closed for pipeline construction. Instead, it read, “Smoke Weed Everyday’’ last week.

The Sacramento Bee reports that it has also read, “Caution Loose Gorilla!’’ Placer County Water Agency Senior Engineer Tony Firenzi told the newspaper it took skill to change the message. The unknown hacker needed a keyboard and had to bypass some systems.

John Keith Dixon 1953-2012 John Keith Dixon passed away on November 10, 2012 with his wife Marian and daughter Julie by his side in Cranbrook, BC. John was born February 24, 1953 in Cranbrook to Beverley Jean Ellis and Keith Talbot Dixon. John was a true â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cranbrookiteâ&#x20AC;? in that he spent all his life here. John spent his childhood playing hockey and his summers at Kootenay Lake at his grandparentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home. John and Marian were fortunate enough to purchase a piece of property on the lake and with the help of friend Ray and son Paul built their second home. He and Marian spent a lot of time there with his â&#x20AC;&#x153;boysâ&#x20AC;?. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career as an auto mechanic started at Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulf Service and continued with his current business of Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Service Centre. John also spent many hours at the Kimberley Ski Hill when his children were involved with the North Star Racers. This was an exciting and busy time for the family and John was a dedicated volunteer. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of hockey continued with his support of the Kootenay Ice where he and Marian had been season ticket holders from the beginning. John is survived by his wife Marian of 39 years, 2 sons Keith and Paul, daughter Julie and son-in-law Matthew Lynch, grandsons Logan and Avery (his boys), brothersin-law Clark (daughter Jessalynne) and Cameron Purvis (daughter Katherine, sons Cameron and Murray) and his Uncle Gerry Dixon.
