COLLECTING INTEREST: Shylock the moneylender (Dean Nicholson) is owed 3,000 ducats by the suddenly bankrupt business man Antonio (David Prinn), and is out to collect the agreed upon collateral — a pound of Antonio’s flesh. Bard in Your Own Backyard, Cranbrook’s Shakespeare society, is mounting “The Merchant of Venice,” one of Shakespeare’s most famous and controversial plays. Opening night is Thursday, January 24, at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook.

‘Merchant of Venice’ looks at insider status, and what people will do to achieve it BARRY COULTER
The Bard is back for 2013, and flesh is selling by the pound. If you thought service charges were bad today, you never did business in 16th century Venice. Bard in Your Own Backyard, Cranbrook’s Shakespeare society, is mounting an intriguing production of one of Shakespeare’s most famous
and challenging plays. “The Merchant of Venice” opens Thursday, Jan. 24, at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook. “Merchant” follows a dual storyline — the wooing of Portia, a rich heiress, by several suitors, and the debt of the businessman Antonio to the moneylender Shylock the Jew. Antonio has borrowed the money from Shylock to fi-
nance his friend Bassanio’s pursuit of Portia. The two storylines with their main characters merge at the play’s climax, but a mix of comedic and tragic elements makes “Merchant” one of Shakespeare’s more challenging plays to produce. The production marks the directorial debut of Dean Nicholson, who also plays one of the lead characters, Shylock
the Jew. Nicholson was intrigued by the contrast of the two storylines, the first a fluffy romance and the second a dark drama exploring human weakness, and he has sought to create a production that seeks to meld the two with commentary that is relevant to today’s audience.

There’s a new captain at the helm of the Key City Theatre, and he brings decades of experience in the arts. Gerard Gibbs moved into his office as managing director of Cranbrook’s theatre on Wednesday, January 2, two days after he arrived in town. Gibbs is just beginning to settle in, and he is keen to meet the locals, he told The Townsman. “First I want to get to know people in the community, what they would like to see, and go from there.” Born in the U.S., Gibbs ran the Empress Theatre in Fort Macleod, Alberta, from 2002 to 2010. “In Fort Macleod, it took two years to fit in, get to know people and say, ‘What if we were to try this?’” Gibbs explained. A successful oboist as well as a presenter, Gibbs studied performance at Wayne State University and Indiana University’s music schools. He has played with orchestras in Minnesota, Washington and Al-

berta, performing throughout western Canada and the United States. Gibbs’s first managing role was for the symphony orchestra in Duluth, Minnesota, before he took the Fort Macleod position, recommended by fellow performers in western Canada. During that tenure, he began working with prominent Israeli violist Rivka Golani, who splits her time between Canada and the United Kingdom.

New ID cards to prevent health fraud To m F le tc h e r Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. government is rolling out its new hightech medical services cards starting Feb. 15, in an effort to phase out millions of CareCards in the hands of non-residents. The new cards will be combined with the B.C. driver’s licence, with a similar “BC Services Card” available to those who don’t drive. Residents will be required to re-enrol to renew the card every five years, whether they drive or not.

The current $75 fee for a five-year driver’s licence renewal will apply to the new combined cards, discounted to $17 for seniors. There is no requirement to get the new card until your driver’s licence needs to be renewed. The government’s plan is to change over all eligible B.C. residents between the ages of 19 and 74 to the new cards over the next five years.

Dear Townsman readers; For those who tried to contact our office between the hours of three and five Monday afternoon and found us to have mysteriously disappeared, no, a giant spaceship did not come down and snatch us up. No doubt the temptation is to think so — it was as if we vanished off the face of the earth. But what in fact occurred was our power supply was shut off so that BC Hydro, bless ‘em, could upgrade our
entire system so that we could operate our new press, the installation of which is nearing completion. To those with pressing (no pun intended) Townsman business Monday afternoon, we regret not being at hand to serve you. We are, rest assured, once again available as of Tuesday morning at 8:30. In the meantime, stayed tuned for further exciting new press news, coming soon to these pages.

Cranbrook Search and Rescue pays it forward New state-of-the-art Rescue 2 truck allows local group to give back to a SAR team in need.
Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff
Cranbrook Search and Rescue has a brand new ride at the hall, and they were able to help out a fellow SAR group in the process. The local group purchased a new Rescue 2 truck, a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 long box, perfect for the growing Cranbrook SAR family. “The old truck is still in great shape but we have out grown it, in means of equipment and people,” said Nick Bedwell, Ground Search and Rescue training officer and public relations rep for Cranbrook SAR. And so the truck was offered up to the Keremeos SAR group, which is restructuring its operations and was struggling with the use of an older, outdated truck and equipment. Bedwell said the truck was originally donated to Cranbrook, so it was appropriate to pass it on.
members of the public will be drawn to join and become volunteer SAR. “The biggest benefit is our image. This truck will hopefully draw more people to join the group,” Bedwell said. “(It) gives our current members a large sense of pride. Watching our members at the Christmas Parade open house show off the new truck to the public was great; the excitement and pride in their eyes was awesome.” The truck has been in their possession for just over a month now, which has proved to be a busy time for Cranbrook SAR. “Both our Ground SAR team and Highway Rescue team will be using this truck to go on calls and at public events,” Bedwell said. “From searches to Motor Vehicle Accidents to ATV accidents to other backcountry emergencies.” But the first calls for Rescue 2 came two weeks ago when a
“We at Cranbrook SAR are really excited about this amazing truck and we really have to thank all that have helped us out building and continually helping us keep it in shape ready to go. There is no help too small to help keep us going.” Nick Bedwell, Cranbrook SAR “Our old truck went to Keremeos Search and Rescue, they are currently rebuilding their group from the ground up,” he said. “The truck was donated to us, so we donated it to them knowing it was going to a group in need. Keremeos SAR’s old truck is on its last legs. They were really excited when they came to pick it up.” The new truck that Cranbrook is now using is much larger both in passenger capacity and engine power. It will allow them to access scenes better and safer. “There are two big differences and upgrades from our old truck,” Bedwell explained. “First is, the new truck is a crew cab where the old truck was only a extended cab. We can now seat five people comfortably.” That means more members will be able to attend busier accident scenes without taking their own vehicles. “The second difference/upgrade is the new truck is a diesel, giving us tons of power,” Bedwell continued. “Other notable upgrades is better off road capabilities, full LED emergency lighting, and larger enclosed canopy to hold more equipment which can be accessed easily and faster with the bed slide.” Bedwell said beyond the comfort of the members and the new gear, the group hopes more
winter snowstorm blew in. “It was used on its first call last weekend during that snow storm, and it looked amazing coming around the corner with all the emergency lights on,” Bedwell said. “That is when it really sank in for me that we have this new truck.” Funding for the new truck came from the BC Gaming Grant, but local businesses stepped up to fill in the gaps. “We got some generous donations and discounts from places in town: Cranbrook 3M Trimline, Integra Tire, Cranbrook Dodge, Cranbrook Cap-it Genuine Truckware are the main ones,” Bedwell said. “Ultimately this has allowed us to upgrade and replace some aging gear like helmets. We are actually able to get more helmets then we currently have which isn’t enough quantity-wise for our growing group.” The group was able to get the helmets, a protective basket stretcher bag, new radios and scene lighting will be installed on the truck later on. “We at Cranbrook SAR are really excited about this amazing truck and we really have to thank all that have helped us out building and continually helping us keep it in shape and ready to go,” Bedwell said. “There is no help too small to help keep us going.”

New theatre boss a professional orchestral performer, too Continued from page 1
After performing with Golani in Edmonton, Gibbs brought her to perform in Fort Macleod, sparking a creative partnership that
continues today. In 2010, Gibbs moved to London to work as the classical conductor for the Monteverdi Choir, headed by
well-known conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner. He returned to the U.S. after a year, taking a position with the Akron, Ohio Symphony Orchestra.
City of Kimberley PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF INTENTION TO CLOSE A PORTION OF ROAD AND SELL CITY LANDS City Council of the City of Kimberley hereby gives notice, pursuant to Section 40 and 94 of the Community Charter, of its intention to adopt Highway Closure and Dedication Removal Bylaw No. 2459, 2012 to permanently close to traffic that 195.2 square metre portion of St. Mary’s Avenue shown shaded on the map below, situated adjacent to 400 Ross Street (legally described as Lots 1 and 2, District Lot 1358, Kootenay District, Plan 16254) in the City of Kimberley, and as shown on reference plan EPP25565 certified by R. Macdonald, British Columbia Land Surveyor.
But he was keen to return to western Canada, so when he heard of the opening in Cranbrook, Gibbs jumped at the opportunity. “I wanted to get back into the Canadian, specifically the western Canadian, scene. I’m at heart a western person. I love the mountains,” he said. While Gibbs says performing is his first passion, presenting music and the arts is also a joy to him.
“I really enjoy the presenting part of this type of this job. I am very happy to come back to that. The orchestra world is very challenging right now,” said Gibbs. “I can use my skills and knowledge and apply that with flexibility to do things that will make the Key City more successful in presenting the performing arts.” Gibbs was familiar with Cranbrook through his work in Fort Ma-
cleod, and he has even performed in an orchestra for Bruce Dunn, the former conductor of the Symphony of the Kootenays. He is excited to see the new direction the symphony will take, after nearly being forced to fold last year due to low attendance at concerts. “I would like to see what their plans are and work with them,” said Gibbs. He hopes to see the
Key City find a particular field of the performing arts to excel in and not fall into a common trap for small theatres. “Typically, they do a bit of everything and don’t excel in anything. I’d like to find something we can excel in so that we establish a reputation, not just locally but on a widespread basis,” said Gibbs. “The arts is about striving for excellence, not just the lowest common denominator.”
Coroner names man who died in Wasa accident Townsman Staff
The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died in a motor vehicle incident on Jan. 6, 2013, near Wasa. The man is Dale Andrew Davis, aged 52, from Wasa. Mr. Davis was the sole occupant of a vehicle, travelling northbound on Highway 93/95 near Wasa, when the incident occurred. Cranbrook RCMP and East
Kootenay Traffic Services responded to a single vehicle accident at 1:23 a.m. on January 6, 2013. The accident occurred on Highway 93/95 near the Wasa Rest Stop. Police say a 1986 Ford pickup truck was heading north and went off the road to the left. The truck hit the ditch and rolled over once. The single occupant and driv-
er appears to have died instantly, says Cpl. D. Perpelitz of East Kootenay Traffic Services. He was not wearing a seat belt. Perpelitz says road conditions at the time were good, although a light snow was beginning to fall. The BC Coroners Service and RCMP Traffic Services continue to investigate this incident. The family of Mr. Davis has been notified of his death.

Continued from page 1 Contrasting scenes of broad physical humour, witty dialogue and intense drama into a cohesive whole was the challenge Dean undertook. “Merchant of Venice” is certainly one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays, and one of his most performed, but it is also a difficult play to stage. It is potentially troubling to modern audiences because of some of its central themes, which can be construed as anti-Semitic. Nicholson said the BYOB production focuses less on the religious concerns, however, and more on the ease with which people create divisions between people, whether based on age, status, wealth or gender. In this production, the anachronistic use of modern technology in an Elizabethan setting underscores one such division between the technologically savvy young and the older generation who risk becoming out of touch, and are only seen as a source of money. “Merchant” presents a host of Shakespeare’s notable characters
— Portia and her suitors, Antonio and Bassanio and their entourages, and various eccentric secondary personages. “Although Shylock is most often remembered because of his enraged pursuit of justice, all of the characters demonstrate a willingness to let ethics and integrity slide in the pursuit of money, status, love and revenge,” Nicholson said. Shakespeare ostensibly wrote the play in the midst of an anti-Semitic time and culture (Elizabethan society has been described as “judeophobic”); even so, Shylock remains one of his most intriguing and sympathetic characters. His ostricization from the society around him is made plain, as are the reasons for his resentment. One can sympathize with Shylock after the flight of his daughter with his money, and the transference of his rage to Antonio, who has been forced to borrow from the Jew even while despising him. Thus, the whole “pound of flesh” metaphor turns around the rage of an underdog. “In the end, the production looks at the experiences of insid-
ers and outsiders, and what individuals are willing to do to belong to a more desirable group,” Nicholson said. “Do any of the characters get what they want, and want do they have to give up to belong?” Once again, Bard in Your Own Backyard has tapped into the local acting community for the broad range of roles required to bring Shakespeare to life on stage. The cast, featuring both veteran actors of the scene and newcomers, includes: David Prinn, Dean Nicholson, Don Davidson, Josh Klassen, Jarrod Bondy, Drew McGowan, Graham McBean, Mark Casey, Bob Wakulich, Nathan Staplin, Alan McBean, Jeff Cooper, William Nicholson, Danielle Nicholson, Kimberley Davidson, Michelle Heinz, Hannah van der Roest, Jean Ann Debreceni, Joe Debreceni, and Joel Vinge. “Merchant of Venice,” directed by Dean Nicholson and produced by Susan Hanson, runs Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 24, 25 and 26, and Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 31, Feb. 1 and Feb. 2. Tickets are available at the Key City Theatre box office.

Only when I laugh at myself What’s Up?
“Looking foolish does the spirit good.” John Updike
It’s
a shame but young people have not the slightest conception of the fun that old people enjoy every minute of their days. One of the first really old people that I knew was my grandma, who lived with us for several years. Granny Flo had two pairs of glasses: her near-tos and her faraways. She seemed unable at any given time to know which pair she needed and so she donned the first pair that came to hand and then, with the whole family in action, searched for the others. I think she really enjoyed the situation and repeated it frequently. The other day, I was endeavouring to fix a stair rail that had come apart with me desperately clinging to it. I survived and so, eventually, set to work to repair it. It’s darkish on that stair so I sought a pair of glasses in order that I might actually see what sort of screw-driver head I was to need. The glasses, probably a drug-store special, came from my computer desk. I use them when people send me messages in ridiculously small print, like the stuff hidden at the bottom of a guarantee, the stuff you’re not supposed to read. I went outside to fetch the appropriate screw-driver; it was only a short walk but I was positive that I was suffering from some fatal attack. I was so dizzy; I reeled and clutched at things but finally reached the shed, fumbled with the latch, found the right screw-driver, then reeled back indoors to lie down somewhere and there expire. However, when I took off the glasses, I recovered fully and suddenly realized how
Granny Flo must have felt so long ago. A few weeks ago I was wrestled to the ground by a pair of overalls. This event led not to laughter on my part but almost hysteria. At the end of the bout I lay helpless on the cold concrete floor of the basement and had hysterics. I was helpless in the grip of those overalls, pinned. I’d just come back from getting in the way of a friend who was building things but, as I stepped into my own basement, a sudden, serious toilet urge caused me to endeavour to get out of my cov-
Peter Warland eralls quickly. This, however, was not to be accomplished with ease. In fact, it ended in an epic battle with me on the cold concrete floor, helpless, and laughing fit to burst. It was only later that I discovered that the winners of that bout, the coveralls, were not even mine; they belonged to a much smaller relative; I’d tossed my own away years before. The serious giggles
started for me last summer when I attempted to step up (unaided) on a chair. I wanted to weed the geraniums in the box outside the living room. There were some unwanted things like feral dandelions and sunflowers growing up there but I couldn’t reach them so I tried to use that kitchen chair. However, neither leg would accomplish the task without me tugging on something, and, because the window box was of my construction, I didn’t even think of hauling on it. I tried several times but the gerani-
ums went un-weeded until I bothered to drag out a ladder. For days after that incident I giggled at my body’s ineptitude. As is the case with many elderly people, I have a back that will not always bend as much as I would like it to. This sometimes causes me to get into predicaments like attempting to slide into the seat of a small car or undo my badly knotted laces of my hiking boots. It is not really painful though; it only hurts when I laugh at myself, something I seem to be doing an awful lot these days of my dotage .

A real hero for aboriginal people
T
he century-old plight of Canada’s aboriginal people is back in the public eye, thanks to protests dubbed Idle No More. As with Occupy protests last year, the demands are vague. One of the claims, repeated in media coverage of protests, is that the federal government is moving to end the historic Indian Act restriction against selling reserve land. A look at the federal legislation, Bill C-45, shows this is not the case. Amendments ease restrictive provisions for leasing reserve land, which remains property of the Crown held in perpetuity for the aboriginal community. This change was initiated by B.C. aboriginal leaders so they can follow the trail blazed by one of the most entrepreneurial chiefs in Canadian history. His name is Ron Derrickson, and he served six terms as chief of the Westbank First Nation near Kelowna. One of my first big reporting assignments was covering a Royal Commission into his administration’s business affairs in the mid-1980s. There had been an astonishing 17 federal investigations before that, stemming from local claims that Derrickson was just too successful. He drove a big black Mercedes, wore expensive suits, and established a bunch of enterprises, including
Canada’s first water slide. The commission was chaired by John Hall, then known as the Crown prosecutor who put serial killer Clifford Olson away, and now an appeal court judge. Derrickson’s suit jacket had a conspicuous bulge as he took the stand each day. He was packing a semi-automatic pistol, having demanded and received a carry permit after a brutal attempt on BC VIEWS his life. The hit man, an ex-cop, Tom was hired by people who Fletcher didn’t like the bottom-line way Derrickson ran Westbank’s lease-hold mobile home parks. He showed up at Derrickson’s home one day and tried to beat him to death with a metal bar. Badly injured, Derrickson made it to his gun cabinet and shot his assailant, who survived to go to prison. Derrickson testified that his approach to the Indian Affairs bureaucracy was simple. He did business, and if they didn’t like it, they could tell him. Reserve land can’t be sold, so he leased it, offering people a low-cost way to enjoy the sunny Okanagan. His business plan was also simple. Drive to California and see what they’re doing. Drive back and do it in B.C. A 2007 profile of Derrickson by Greg Fjetland in <I>Canadian Business</I> magazine describes how he came by his
approach to Ottawa. He grew up “dirt poor, living in a tar paper shack.” His family name was Tousawasket, until the local Indian Agent drew an Anglo name out of a hat. He and his brother were the first aboriginal kids to attend public school in Kelowna. Racist bullying drove his parents to move him to a residential school in Washington State. He dropped out in Grade 9, toiled on farms, learned to weld, and worked his way into ranching, real estate and politics. He never gave up or backed down, ever. The Hall commission and all previous government probes concluded that he did nothing wrong. Derrickson sued his local accusers and won, and Ottawa began to change its racist, paternalistic ways. Which brings us back to today. Derrickson’s pioneering work is still changing the Indian Act for the better. This effort is under dishonest attack from people whose legacy is mainly incompetence and failure. Protesters demand more unearned public subsidy, and a petulant soup-only strike is celebrated as an act of bravery. Choose your own hero. I’ve chosen mine.

Shirley returns from U17 tournament TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Collin Shirley is back. The 16-year-old rookie rejoined the Ice for practice on Monday in a return to his home WHL club after competing in the U17 World Hockey Challenge in Quebec over the Christmas break. His squad, coached by Don MacGillivray of the Winnipeg Blues in the MJHL, had a tough go, finishing in 9th place, losing four games, while getting a lone win against Slovakia.
Collin Shirley Despite the outcome, Shirley said he had a blast. “It was good,” said Shirley. “It was quite a treat to go over to Quebec—never been there before.” Shirley, who hails from Saskatoon, SK, was named to Team West in November in the 10team tournament, which pits five Canadian squads against competition from Europe and the U.S. “In a short-term tournament, you kind of got to come together quick as a team and just play in roles, whatever the coach tells you to do, you got to accept that and just be ready to go,” Shirley said, on what he took away from the experience. Shirley followed in
the footsteps of Jon Martin, Sam Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau, as all three represented the Ice while competing in the tournament last year for Team West and Team Pacific. It’s always special to play in international competition and develop further as a player, Shirley added. “You gotta take a role that the coach gives you and I think that’s going to help down the road— wherever they need you to play, you can play it,” said Shirley. MacGillivray had Shirley on the second and third line, instructing the young Kootenay forward to take advantage of scoring opportunities while playing with some grit. It’s a role he’s pretty familiar with anyways. Shirley has six goals and four assists so far with the Ice and the rookie is excited to return to a hot team that has won five games in a row. Kootenay head coach Ryan McGill added that he’s happy Shirley is back as well, noting that his presence bumps up the forward count to 13, which will foster some healthy competition for lineup spots. “This is now a competition and that’s a good thing,” said McGill. “He’s a good young player that we need to develop and now it just becomes a development process and a healthy, healthy competition between the other 12 forwards in the lineup, knowing that he has an opportunity to take somebody’s position.”
Daly anticipates a 48-game schedule for NHL season CHRIS JOHNSTON Canadian Press
NEW YORK - The NHL is most likely to play a 48-game season after its new collective bargaining agreement is ratified. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Canadian Press on Monday morning that hope for a 50-game schedule was already fading as the league and NHL Players’ Association continued to
work towards finalizing the document their constituents will eventually vote on. “It depends on ratification timeline for PA, but it’s looking more and more like 48 games is going to be the only option,” Daly said in an email. The NHL’s Board of Governors is scheduled to gather in New York on Wednesday to hold a ratification vote.

Work ethic key to recent success: McGill TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
They say winning isn’t everything, but it’s gotta feel pretty good for the Kootenay Ice. The hometown WHL club has strung together five consecutive victories, which is the longest streak so far in the season. Not a bad reversal of fortunes after going through an eight-game losing slide at the end of October. Overall improvement—as individuals and as a team unit— have been a large part of Kootenay’s post-Christmas turnaround, however, there is still lots of work to be done. Along with improvement, Ice head coach Ryan McGill notices his players are playing with an impressive work ethic. “One of the biggest things is we’re doing a good job of sticking to our high compete level—a good solid work ethic—and not getting away from that too much,” McGill said. “Obviously in this league, with young teams, sometimes you forget that you need to work first and do a few other things second. I
think, for the most part, we’ve been consistently working as a group and not just individuals. “That’s the biggest thing for me, for sure, in five games.” McGill also credits Skapski’s work in net between the pipes and the work of the power play and penalty killing units. “A lot of games are won and lost on special teams and I think last night was no different,” said McGill, pointing to Sam Reinhart’s powerplay buzzer-beater in the second period against the Rebels on Sunday that tied up the game at 1-1. “That goal with a second left in the second period was a huge goal for us, regardless of the fact that we felt we had competed really hard in that period,” McGill said. “I just think that psychologically, going into the third period at 1-1 is a lot better psychologically than knowing that you’re competing really hard and should’ve had more goals, but didn’t get them.” From an individual standpoint, guys like Levi Cable, Luke Philp and Tanner Faith have been standing out with
some solid performances on and off the scoresheet. Cable notched two assists over the weekend, and the Ice forward in his sophomore season has been playing with a lot more confidence. Philp, while not a rookie per se, as he got in 17 games with the Ice last year to cover injuries, is in third place for team scoring, with 11 goals and 10 assists. Faith had a great weekend as well, posting an assist as Brock Montgomery tipped his point shot for a goal against the Broncos on Friday. The 17-year-old rookie has been paired up with veteran overage defenceman Joey Leach, and the results are pretty positive. For his part, Faith is happy to be paired up with Leach on the blue line. “It’s amazing,” said Faith. “Some of the things he does helps me out a lot. It helps me out more and lets me do my stuff, knowing that I can rely on Leach.” “…He’s a really smart hockey player, so the things he does, all the little things, build up to winning hockey games.” McGill said he had
wanted to pair them up earlier, but Leach got injured at the beginning of December for eight games. “Tanner’s done a lot on his own, obviously, but anytime you can play with Joey Leach, it just gives you that much more confidence that he’s going to be there to help you,” McGill said. “There are a lot of intangibles that go into playing this game and a lot of intangibles that the coaches can’t give you but other players can and Joey has that leadership ability to do that and he’s certainly
helped him along the way.” The Ice are also benefiting with the return of forward Collin Shirley, who spent the Christmas break represeting the Canadian Prairies for Team West at the U17 World Hockey Challenge in Quebec (see adjacent story). McGill confirmed that he’ll be back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Edmonton Oil Kings. That leaves 13 other forwards, which will mean players will have to start competing for spots in the lineup.
Local hockey player called up to AHL SUBMIT TED
The Texas Stars, American Hockey League affiliate of the Dallas Stars, announced on Monday that Dallas has reassigned defenseman Jace Coyle to Texas from the Idaho Steelheads, their ECHL affiliate. Coyle, 22, made Texas’ opening night roster out of training camp, but did not appear in a game before he was reassigned to
Idaho on October 23. The Cranbrook, British Columbia, native has played in 18 games for the Steelheads this year, scoring 13 points (1 goal, 12 assists), 18 penalty minutes and a +9 plus-minus rating. Coyle suffered an injury in early December and missed ten games. He returned to the lineup this past weekend and in Idaho’s last two games he had two assists and a +6 rating.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 50-year-old adoptee. About 10 years ago, I was finally able to locate my biological mother. It took me months to work up the nerve to phone her, and the call was a nightmare. Her first words were, “How did you find me? I was told nobody would ever know.” That was followed by, “What do you want from me?” I explained that the laws in Kansas had changed, and they released the information. I told her I didn’t want anything except family medical history and some knowledge of where I came from. I told her I understood those were different times and I hold no ill will because I’ve had a wonderful life with adoptive parents who love me. I cried for three days after that call. I was completely crushed. Four days later, she called back, quite apologetic, and we talked for more than an hour. Obviously, she needed time to get past the shock. Here’s the problem. She has three other children who are all adults now, and she doesn’t want them to know about me. She told her late husband, but she spent years fearing I would contact her. I do not agree with her position. I feel the kids have a right to know they have a half-sister. Your thoughts? -- Conflicted Adoptee from Kansas Dear Conflicted: We agree, but try to see this from your bio mom’s perspective. She believes knowing that she had a child before she married the children’s father would devastate them and change how they feel about her. Instead of pressuring her, help her see that her children might be surprised, but not necessarily upset. And they may be angry if she withholds this information and they find out later. Encourage her to see contact between you in a more positive light. Dear Annie: My son is a dedicated anesthesiologist. He took a job at a small hospital in a small town, hoping to enjoy a reasonable life. The pay isn’t as good as that of a large hospital in a big city, but he was willing to take a cut in order to work there. I realize that the hours are never good for his type of specialty, but I am so upset that the people at this hospital expect him to put in 24-hour days with little sleep. I thought the lack of sleep for doctors was studied and determined to be unacceptable and harmful to patients. What on earth are these people thinking? I would be very concerned about stretching a doctor’s exhaustion to the brink of something serious happening. What can I do? -- Worried Mom Dear Worried: In order to prevent fatigue-related medical errors, rules were put into effect limiting residents’ work hours. Last year, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education updated those rules. At the moment, first-year residents cannot work longer than 16 hours straight. But more advanced residents can work up to 24 hours straight. If your son is past his firstyear residency, his hospital is doing nothing unusual. We know you don’t want your son to be overextended, but you need to let him handle this however he sees fit. Dear Annie: “Sickened on the East Coast” was in a dispute with her child’s middle school over their summer reading list. I was in a similar situation several years ago with my son’s high school. I read the recommended book along with my son so we could discuss it. I felt the book was inappropriate for a number of reasons. At the beginning of the school year, I requested a meeting with the head of the English department. I explained my objections and also provided alternate titles for future summer reading assignments, pointing out life lessons that could be taught with my suggested titles. I think most people are willing to listen to our complaints when we also provide a solution. -- A Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Experience the romance of the Mediterranean Joyce Termuende Special to the Townsman
A Mediterranean cruise can be rewarding in so many ways – culturally, educationally, visually and historically. The Mediterranean is the second most popular cruise region in the world. It is generally divided into two cruising areas: the Western Mediterranean – France, Spain, Portugal and Italy and the Eastern Mediterranean – Italy, Croatia, Montenegro. Although the standard Mediterranean cruise season is from May to October, it can start as early as March and finish as late as November. The sailings usually vary between seven days to 14 days. Celebrity Cruise’s popular 12day Adriatic itinerary, sails from Venice to Rome between April and November, giving the traveler an opportunity to experience the beautiful Adriatic Sea with its historical coastal towns such as Dubrovnik and Split in Croatia, or Kotor in Montenegro. Experience the spectacular and romantic Amalfi coast where you can wander the narrow streets of Naples and Sorrento or stroll through the ruins of Pom-

peii, one of the world’s most amazing archaeological wonders. The Celebrity Silhouette’s itinerary includes an overnight in Venice, one of the world’s most beautiful cities, made up of over 120 islands connected by canals instead of streets. Celebrity Silhouette is a large, modern cruise ship with gorgeous venues including a lawn club with half an acre of real grass located on the top deck. There is a wide selection of cabins including their signature Aqua Class staterooms, which include unlimited access to one of the largest spas at sea. With 8 restaurants at least 12 bars and lounges to choose from, each with a different theme, the dining aboard the Silhouette reflects the culture and regions of the Mediterranean.

Westjet plane slides off Kelowna runway C ANADIAN PRESS
KELOWNA, B.C. — Passengers aboard a WestJet (TSX:WJA) plane that slid off the tarmac and had its wheels stuck in the snow at the airport in Kelowna, B.C., were left waiting for another way to get to Alberta. WestJet Flight 150, destined for Edmonton, was carrying 134 passengers and six crew members as it pulled away from the terminal shortly before 8 a.m. on Monday, said airline spokesman Robert Palmer. The plane was moving at about 15 kilometres per hour when at least some of its wheels left the tarmac. There were no injuries. A storm was blanketing the area with heavy snow at the time, causing poor visibility, but Palmer said the exact cause was still under investigation. ``It appears to be weather related at this time — they’re having quite the snowstorm there and it’s difficult to see where the tarmac stops and the grass starts because it’s under a whole bunch of snow,’’ Palmer said.
``It would be similar to your car, if you were making a turn and as you made the turn you slid sideways a little bit and ended up catching a bunch of snow.’’ The airport’s director said all of the plane’s wheels were off the tarmac, but Palmer said the information he had indicated only the nose wheels and the wheels below the right wing were off the pavement and in the snow-covered grass. All the passengers were OK and were being rebooked on other flights, Palmer said. However, the snowstorm had cancelled other flights into and out of Kelowna and it wasn’t clear when all of the passengers would make it to Edmonton. WestJet planned to pay for their meals, accommodation and travel until they were able to depart, Palmer said. He said crews were inspecting the plane for damage before determining if it could return to service but that the slow speed meant it’s unlikely the aircraft sustained any serious damage.
