Wycliffe rancher losing cattle to grizzlies S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff
In his 63 years ranging cattle at Pine Butte Ranch in Wycliffe, Ray Van Steinburg has never had grizzly bears take down a cow. That is, until earlier this
month, when he and other ranch workers found the carcasses of two cows about 100 feet apart on the 15,000 hectare property. The cows weigh about 1,400 pounds each. They set up a motion-de-
tected camera at the site of one of the kills and caught amazing footage of not one but two grizzlies approaching the kill, feeding on it, and even wrestling with each other. Van Steinburg said that
while his 800 head of cattle are ranging, he doesn’t know how many cows the grizzlies have taken. But he has observed cows who no longer have calves, and calves who no longer have mothers.

TA DA! More than 200 middle-school students in Cranbrook took Safeteen violence prevention and assertiveness workshops last week, thanks to funding from the Canadian Mental Health Association. Safeteen facilitators Joëlle Perras (front) and Bill Pozzobon (back) visited Grade 7 classes in both Parkland and Laurie Middle Schools. Based on the work of Anita Roberts, Safeteen has been a resource for school communities in B.C. for more than three decades. Also pictured are Dan van der Walt, Parkland school counseling department, and Carla McDonald, CMHA Administrator of Youth and Children Services.
RCMP in both Kimberley and Cranbrook continue to focus on the drug trade with last week bringing more arrests. On Thursday, September 26, Kimberley RCMP entered a Marysville home with a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley Detachment says that inside police found four separate grow rooms in the basement with over 100 plants in various stages of growth. A small amount of marijuana bud was also found. A 36-year old male was arrested. “Police will be recommending charges of Production of a Controlled Substance,” Newel said. “Of concern to police was the fact two children regularly reside in the house.”

Local food; the 100-mile cook-out SHANNON DUNCAN
65 people came out to celebrate our local harvest at the 100 Mile Cook-Out Thursday Sept. 19 at the Cranbrook Public Produce Garden. Everyone who came brought an offering of fresh, locally grown fruit or vegetables and we prepared an amazing feast together in the Garden with barbecues and propane cookers. Everyone

went home under the light of the Harvest Moon with happy bellies and inspired minds. This was the kick-off event for the East Kootenay Community Eats project, a collaboration between the Cranbrook Food Action Committee and Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook, and funded for the next three years by Interior Health’s Community Food Action Initiative. A big focus is on de-
veloping more collaboration around food security between Kimberley and Cranbrook and the steps we take along the way will be led by community feedback. So far, ideas include the creation of more public produce garden space, a midweek Kimberley Farmer’s Market, the development of a commercial-grade Community Kitchen in Cranbrook, and increasing interest in
local food-based business. There are more exciting events and an on-line forum to come where you’ll have the opportunity to contribute and get involved. Keep your eyes and ears open as the gardens slow down and we head toward a season of reflection and new ideas. For more information, contact Shannon at (250)4277981 or cranbrookfood@ gmail.com

The power of the sun keeps wheels turning
Rick Small aims his solar polared tricycle for Victoria lights over the highways as they are driven. He also noted that solar vehicles are economical and don’t require the further investment of gasoline or other fuels. So once the initial investment of the vehicle and solar panels was made, the vehicle can be charged up with the light of the sun. So what will Small do when he reaches Victoria? “Victoria is just a destination,” he said, adding that he could have made it anyplace. For him it was more about proving the journey across most of the country was possible on a solar-powered, threewheeled scooter.

A Thunder Bay man is hoping to raise awareness on the uses of solar power by riding a modified trike from Ontario to Victoria, B.C. Rick Small began his journey on July 31 and has been on the road since then. The trike is a Dragon e-bike that’s been modified into the Light Dragon. It runs on solar power and the elongated scooter carries one large solar panel on it and pulls one behind. The vehicle doesn’t move fast – with a top speed of 32 km/h, but Small said the trip could have been a lot quicker with a few modifica-
tions. One of those would have been battery wall charger. “If I would have brought my battery wall charger I would have saved myself two weeks,” he said. The electric trike would usually have a range of about 50 km, but thanks to the solar panels, Small can go over 200 before having to let the batteries recharge. Small originally made the bike because he is a solar enthusiast and hoped to cut his emissions down to nothing. He also hopes to see the day the roads are filled with solar vehicles that are charged through low hanging

This increases the risk of fire.”
Lee Pratt and Jay Pratt will assume operation of the OK Tire store as of October 1, 2013. Lee and his wife Loopy — longtime residents of Cranbrook — have two children and three grandchildren, all living in Cranbrook. Lee has worked for 25 years in the automotive and industrial supply business, and 18 years in the financial services industry. Lee was vice-president, branch manager and investment advisor with CIBC Wood Gundy when he retired in 2012. Lee will not be working full-time in the business, but will be acting more as a mentor and business advisor. Jay, as owner-manager, will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the franchise. Jay was born and raised in Cranbrook and has over 22 years of experience in the tire industry. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects pertaining to tires and their characteristics, and is certified on all tires from wheelbarrows to heavy duty mining equipment.

doesn’t have records for every city in B.C. Some of those omissions include Kelowna, Princeton, Osoyoos and Kimberley. The data was gathered over a 20-year period from 1981 to 2001. Climate changes since then haven’t been captured. But according to the statistics, Cranbrook has about 80 hours more sunshine a year than the next closest city. Cranbrook gets 2,191 hours of sunshine each year, ahead of Victoria which gets 2,109 hours. “Victoria is very high because they are in a rain shadow from the Olympics,” Doug explained. Fort St. John gets 2,095 hours; close behind are Princeton at 2,087 hours and Kamloops at 2,080 hours. So there you have it. I got schooled by karma. In the process of trying to prove someone wrong, I was proved wrong. Come to think of it, I really should have believed the mayor in the first place. He worked for the Ministry of Environment for a long time, so he must be handy with climate data. Lesson learned. Sorry for doubting you, Mayor Stetski. Carry on.

Gradual destruction
It appears that the regime in Ottawa regards science as the enemy. Science, by definition, is knowledge which must be strictly controlled. Spin, on the other hand, should be freely available. After 44 years of valuable service to Canada and the World, the Experimental Lakes Area project (E.L.A.), near Kenora, Ontario, is dead. Its slaughter by the Federal Government has been described by environmental scientists world wide as barbaric! Unbelievable! But this was only one of scores of environmental projects that have been snuffed out by the Harper regime of suppression and control. The number of research scientists that have lost their jobs over the past few years runs into thousands and those that are left are afraid to speak out. Many other small, “unfriendly” organisations and N.G.O.s have been starved to death by withdrawal of funding. They were not profitable. Sure, they cost us a few million dollars. But that amount was paltry compared to the billions owing in uncollected income taxes. And the billions and billions wasted on useless and harmful prescription drugs. And the billions and billions and billions expended on futile armaments. Under cover of those outrageous Omnibus bills, and to remove obstacles to industry, this government has smuggled through numerous measures designed to weaken and even destroy many of the checks andsafeguards that Canadians have built up

Meals on Wheels
Re: Pat Wheeler’s letter about Meals on Wheels (Sept. 26/13) I wish to thank Ms. Wheeler for bringing this matter to the attention of the public and I wholeheartedly support her statement that to fire the bureaucrats would result in a substantial saving. A society will be judged on how it treats its least fortunate members and the people who receive Meals on Wheels are not as fortunate as those of us who are able to make a hot meal for ourselves every evening. The government did indeed state that they wished to keep seniors in their homes longer. How is taking away these meals and the human contact that is so important to every person a step in that direction? How will these people be able to pick up their meals, store them and heat them? The ones who can’t drive or who don’t have storage space for frozen dinners or will be unable to remember to reheat the meals will suffer. Does Interior Health not realize that by cutting these meals they may be dooming the clients to a future in an institution? And that the cost of having these seniors living in a government facility will be far greater?
If Interior Health cannot look at this issue in a humanitarian fashion, then they should at least look at it from a financial (i.e. cost-saving) point of view. This is an extremely short-sighted decision and Meals on Wheels should be reinstated immediately. Diana Takasaki Cranbrook
Gradual destruction
When the Saturday Gala presentation by the Kootenay Performing Arts Company was canceled due to poor tickets sales, the company moved quickly to salvage at least part of the event. And thank goodness for the 60 or so people that were at the Chateau Kimberley on Friday night. The concert in the intimate Chateau lobby by Pablo Diemecke and his string quartet was absolutely fantastic. It is truly a loss that a larger audience was not able to enjoy this unique experience. Executive Director Tony James has many other events planned for the winter. If this is an indication of the expert performances we can expect, Kimberley should be lining up for tickets as space will be at a premium. Congratulations to Shirley Rossi and the Board who have worked hard to transform the Summer Theater into a year round experience. Welcome to Kimberley Tony! Don McCormick Kimberley
It’s the feedbacks, Stupid!
ampaign strategist James Carville coined the phrase “It’s the economy, stupid” to focus the attention of campaign workers on the one key issue that would get Bill Clinton elected president in the 1992 US election. Alas, the authors of the Fifth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published on Friday, have no such sage to guide them. They’ll have to make do with me. The 800-odd authors of the report are selected by their fellow scientists in the various disciplines relevant to climate change as the acknowledged leaders in their field of study. Their job was to review all 14,000 scientific papers on climate change published in the past five years. And they are doing this work at the behest of the world’s governments, not as some random pressure group; it is the InterGOVERNMENTAL Panel on Climate Change. Scientists are very cautious people. They won’t go one millimetre beyond what the evidence makes indisputable, knowing that they will be attacked by rival scientists if they do. They are much more comfortable talking about probabilities rather than certainties. They are, in other words, a nightmare for journalists who have to transmit their findings to the world. Of the nearly one hundred scientists I have interviewed on climate change over the past five years, not one doubted that global warming is a big and frightening problem. Indeed, there was often an undercurrent of panic in their remarks. But when it comes to writing official reports, they retreat into science-speak.
So the Second Assessment of the IPCC, published in 1995, said that it was more than 50 percent likely that human emissions of greenhouse gases were contributing to global warming. The Third Assessment, in 2001, raised the likelihood to 66 percent. The Fourth, in 2007, upped the ante to 90 percent, and the Fifth, this week, says 95 percent. But how do you make a Gwynne headline out of that? How much warming? How fast? Dyer And with what effects on human beings? The latest report will run, in its final version, to three thousand pages, and the answers are buried among the statistics. What would Jim (Carville) do? He’d say: it’s the feedbacks, stupid. Without the feedbacks, we could go on burning fossil fuels and cutting down the forests, and the average global temperature would creep up gradually, but so slowly that most of the inhabited parts of the planet would stay livable for a long time. But if we trigger the feedbacks, the whole thing goes runaway. The feedbacks are natural sources of warming that we activate by raising the average global temperature just a modest amount with our own greenhouse gas emissions. The consensus number used to be plus 2 degrees Celsius, but some scientists now argue that the real threshold may be as low as +1.5 degrees C. There are three main feedbacks. As the highly reflective ice and snow that covers most of the polar regions melts, the rate at which the sun’s heat is absorbed goes up steeply over a large part of the planet. We are creating a new warming engine that will
shift the planet’s heat balance, and once it has started we can’t turn it off again. The warmer air and water in the Arctic then starts to melt the permanently frozen ground and coastal seabed (permafrost) that extends over more than ten million square km. (3 million sq. mi.) of territory, a considerably larger area than Australia. This melting releases a huge amount of methane that has been locked into the ground for millions of years. Methane is a far more effective warming agent than carbon dioxide, and so we spin closer to runaway. Finally the oceans, as they warm, release some of the vast quantities of carbon dioxide they absorbed in the past, simply because warmer water can contain less dissolved gas. Most of the excess heat in the Earth system has been going into the oceans in the past few decades, which is why the rise in land temperatures seems to have slowed down. But that is no real consolation: it just means that the biggest feedback is also being activated. Those are the killer feedbacks. Earth has lurched suddenly into a climate 5-6 degrees C higher than now a number of times in the past. The original warming usually came from massive, long-lasting volcanic eruptions that put a large amount of CO2 into the atmosphere – but in every case it was feedbacks like these that carried the planet up into a temperature regime where there was a massive dieback of animals and plants. We are the volcanoes now. Our own emissions would take a long time to get us up to really high average temperatures worldwide, but all we have to do is pull the trigger on the feedbacks. The rest is automatic.

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Kootenay Ice experienced a new feeling this season after two home games over the weekend. Winning. Though they nearly blew it against Lethbridge, the Ice salvaged a 4-3 shootout win on Friday, and put in a strong performance for a 3-1 win against the Regina Pats on Saturday. With those wins, Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill takes over the franchise record with 210 victories, previously held by Cory Clouston, who collected 209 during his Ice career. The Ice also pared down their roster following the Regina contest, sending 16-year-old defenceman Dylan Overdyk back to the AMHL with the St. Albert Raiders.
Kootenay has had some shaky finishes in their first two games against Red Deer by playing poorly in the final period and allowing the Rebels to pull ahead. “We did a great job in the first two periods, and then in the third period, we forgot to play,” said McGill, following the affair against Lethbridge. “You can’t give up three powerplay goals in the third period and expect to win. We did a good job managing the puck in the first two periods, but we made it really hard on ourselves in the third period and obviously, we’re happy that we got the two points, but we got a long ways to go as far as playing a full 60 minutes.” Though the Ice held a 3-2 lead going into the third period against the ‘Canes, a late powerplay goal knotted things with just over a minute left, which was eventually decided in a shootout, when Jaedon
McGill surpasses Clouston for Ice win record TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
History was made on Friday night when the Kootenay Ice won their 4-3 shootout contest with the Lethbridge Hurricanes, as bench boss Ryan McGill surpassed former head coach Cory Clouston for the franchise win record. Clouston, during his five-year tenure as head coach between 2002-2007, tallied 209 regular season wins, and McGill tied that
number last year with Kootenay’s final win of the 2012-13 season in Calgary, with a 5-4 victory over the Hitmen. During his first tenure with the Ice, including their final season in Edmonton, McGill tallied 174 victories, and added 35 last year when he rejoined the franchise for the second time around. The victory over Lethbridge on Friday now gives him 210 wins for the fran-
chise lead. “I’m very proud of the accomplishments the Kootenay Ice organization has had over the last 16 years,” said McGill. “The biggest thing is, you want to win every year and I think we got a good group of kids here that can provide that, and make sure that we don’t have the slow start that we had last year, and make sure that we provide a winning franchise here again in the near future.”
Descheneau broke the scoreless deadlock. The following night, the Ice earned a solid team victory against Regina with Wyatt Hoflin in between the pipes, while Descheneau terrorized the opposition’s defence and earned his second career hat trick. Descheneau ended the weekend with three goals and three assists, while linemate Sam Reinhart tallied a goal and five assists. Two new faces joined the Kootenay Ice bench as Ryan Chynoweth made his hometown debut in an Ice uniform, while Mike Dyck—who will support assistant coach Jay Henderson when McGill leaves for the World Juniors—also made his coaching debut. Ryan Chynoweth, the son of Ice GM Jeff Chynoweth, didn’t take long to make an impression, dropping the gloves for a scrap with Lethbridge winger Jaimen Yakubowski on Friday and earning an assist in the Regina contest on Saturday. The Ice played a solid 40 minutes on Friday, but the ‘Canes took advantage of a late powerplay in the third period to knot things at 3-3 with 1:24 remaining in the game. All three of Lethbridge’s goals were scored with the man-advantage, as they capitalized three times in four chances on the powerplay. Corbin Boes, who made 44 saves throughout the night, was by far the best player for the ‘Canes, as the Ice were turned away on many scoring opportunities.

UP FOR THE CHALLENGE: The Kootenay Freewheelers Bike Club came out on top of the Bike Club Challenge, and were rewarded with a $1,000 cheque for their efforts at two local races. The Kootenay Freewheelers Bike Club won the Bike Club Challenge based on points accumulated at the Sullivan Shakedown and the Six in the Stix races. Both events attracted 31 riders from the club, earning the most club points through participating and finishing results. In total, 17 clubs were involved in the challenge. A big thank-you goes out to the sponsors who made this opportunity happen.

Cabrera wins 3rd straight AL batting title Ronald Blum Associated Press
NEW YORK - Miguel Cabrera became the first player in more than two decades to win three straight AL batting titles, and Michael Cuddyer brought the NL crown to mile-high Coors Field for the eighth time in 21 years. Cabrera fell short of his 2012 season, when the Detroit third baseman became baseball’s first Triple Crown winner since Boston’s Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Cabrera hit a career-high .348 and finished well ahead of Minnesota’s Joe Mauer, who was second at .324.
“I still had a good season,” he said. “I have the same numbers I had last year, and we won the division.” Cabrera’s 44 home runs were second to the 53 by Baltimore’s Chris Davis, and he finished second in RBIs, one behind Davis’ 138. Cabrera batted .330 last year with 44 homers and 139 RBIs. Cabrera is the first right-handed batter in either league to win three straight batting titles since Rogers Hornsby’s six straight for the St. Louis Cardinals from 1920-25. Cabrera became just the fifth player to
Descheneau leads Ice to 3-1 win over Pats Continued from page 8 “It’s a great feeling to get that first win, it’s always the hardest one to get,” said Descheneau. “We got to stick together and we got to start playing in the third period.” Ice defenceman Landon Peel scored his first career WHL goal to kick it off in the second period, throwing the puck on net, which pinballed off the post, off the back leg Boes, and into the goal.
Sam Reinhart picked up a pass in front of the net a few minutes later to double the lead. ‘Canes captain Josh Derko put his team up in the final period, snapping a high shot past Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski on the powerplay. Bryton Sayers tied it up with a tap-in from the backdoor on a slick cross-crease pass from Remi Laurencelle just

Cuddyer also outdistanced the rest of his league with a .331 average, 10 points ahead of Atlanta’s Chris Johnson. Cuddyer had never hit higher than .284. “It was nothing that I ever expected, and I really can’t wrap my head around it yet,” Cuddyer said. “It just goes to show that no matter what time you’re at in your career, something like this can happen if you continue to
over a minute later. Kootenay regained the lead with eight minutes to go, when Levi Cable teed up a slap shot from the point that beat Boes on an Ice powerplay. However, Lethbridge took advantage of a late man-advantage and Tyler Wong scored after a scramble in front of the crease to send the game into overtime and a shootout. After five rounds of scoreless shooters, Kootenay took the win when Descheneau beat Boes up high on the gloveside, while Derko shot
work hard.” Andres Galarraga (1994), Larry Walker (1998, ‘99 and ‘01), Todd Helton (‘00), Matt Holliday (‘07) and Carlos Gonzalez (‘10) also won batting titles with the Rockies. Pittsburgh’s Pedro Alvarez and Arizona’s Paul Goldschmidt tied for the NL home run lead with 36, giving the Pirates a share of the crown for the first time since Willie Stargell won it in 1973. The total was the fewest for either league leader since San Diego’s Fred McGriff won with 35 in 1992. Goldschmidt’s 125 RBIs topped the NL.
wide of Skapski. “I heard Gilly on the bench saying he’s [Boes] open up high, so I thought I’d go in, do a little fake and rip it up high and hope for the best, and it worked out,” said Descheneau. The Ice netminder ended up with 29 saves for the night. Kootenay’s powerplay also struggled, with one goal in seven opportunities. It was a different body in net as Hoflin, who got in 16 games last year, made his debut in the new 2013-14 campaign against the Pats, making some solid saves

in net as the Ice tallied their second straight victory. “It’s huge for me,” said Hoflin. “It’s confidence—it’s something I got to play with. It’s a stepping stone in the right direction and it’s big for me.” Descheneau supplied the offence by posting his second career hat trick. After a scoreless first period, Reinhart made a great solo effort to get the puck to the net, and Descheneau buried it for his first marker. Near the end of the second frame, Desche-
The Kimberley Dynamiters scored three straight goals in the final period to erase a deficit and take a 4-3 win against the visiting Chase Heat on Friday night at the Civic Centre. The win keeps Kimberley’s undefeated record alive, as they have five wins and one tie so far in the 2013-14 campaign. The Heat took command of the game early, however, the Nitros finished strong, scoring the go-ahead goal with 24 seconds remaining in the game. Kaleb Boyle notched a powerplay marker late in the opening period, while Cody Hodges doubled the lead two minutes later. But the Nitros were able to respond by the time the buzzer went, with Jason Richter finding the back of the net with 60 seconds to go. The two teams held
each other to a draw throughout the second period. The Heat restored their two goal lead early in the third period on an effort from Kurtis Johnson, and held it into the dying minutes of the game. Something happened in the final three minutes of the affair, as the Nitros rattled off a trio of goals to pull even and eventually take the lead for the win. Alex Rosolowsky kicked off the barrage of goals, scoring with 2:50 left on the clock. At 1:24, Marchi lit the goal lamp, which brought the two teams to a 3-3 draw. With 24 seconds left in the contest, Brandon Bogdanek scored, putting Kimberley in the lead, which was enough for the win. Nitro goaltender Jeremy Mousseau stood in goal, making 23 saves for the win, while Jacob Mates turned away 39 shots in defeat.
Raonic wins Thailand Open C anadian Press
BANGKOK, Thailand - Canadian Milos Raonic upset top-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 7-6 (4), 6-3 to claim his fifth title at the Thailand Open on Sunday. The No. 11-ranked Raonic put up 18 aces to beat his No. 6-ranked opponent in the final at the Impact Arena in one hour, 17 minutes. It was Raonic’s fifth tour victory, adding to the three in San Jose from 2011-13 and Chennai in 2012. neau, perched at the top of the slot, one-timed a great feed from Reinhart at the sideboards to double the lead. In the third, Chandler Stephenson hit the post on a Regina powerplay, but got his goal eventually on a shorthanded odd-man rush, snapping up a fat rebound with three minutes remaining in the game. With an empty net in the final minute, Descheneau collected the puck in the neutral zone and chipped it down the ice to complete his three-goal performance.
He also improved his unbeaten record over Berdych to 2-0 after also beating the Czech player in the Cincinnati Masters last year. Berdych had his chances in the match with a set point at 6-5 in the first but Raonic used his big serve to force a weak return before sending a forehand winner to escape.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The unexpected continues to make daily life exciting for anyone around you. Whether you’re working on a love letter or coming up with a new business idea, your creativity seems to be at work. Tonight: Kick up your heels and be noticed. Don’t worry about tomorrow. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will want to spend more time at home than you have in a while. Pressure could build, and you might feel more comfortable staying at home. However, be aware that a family member likely will lose his or her cool as a result. Just do your thing. Tonight: Make a favorite dinner. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) So many people seek you out that you easily could be overwhelmed by all of the requests and invitations. Listen to what people are sharing. Try to avoid getting into a tiff, if possible. Screen your calls in order to accomplish what you want. Tonight: Off to enjoy yourself.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be aware of others’ needs. Recognize that you have a tendency to go overboard. You might not worry about the damages now, but you will later. Be careful if you become angry or frustrated, as you could be accident-prone. Tonight: A little restraint might help. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others will be delighted to have you around, at least until they realize the level of your energy. In fact, if you can’t express yourself the way you want to, you could become difficult. Be open to positive changes. Someone’s reaction might surprise you. Tonight: Let it all hang out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Trust your sixth sense about what is going on behind the scenes. You might want to rethink a recent decision you’ve made once you either confirm or deny what your intuition is telling you. Don’t swallow your anger; make a point to choose your words with care. Tonight: Lie low. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For Better or Worse
Understand that someone you care about suddenly could become difficult. You do not have to react or do anything. Stay calm and centered. You will see this person realize the error of his or her ways. A neighbor could be on the warpath. Tonight: Beam in more of what you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Someone you look up to seems to be bent out of shape. You might be taken aback by this person’s behavior at the moment. If you are smart, you will keep your opinion to yourself. This person will calm down, and you will feel more relaxed as a result. Tonight: A must appearance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) At first, you might be upset by what is going on. The unexpected could throw your plans in several different directions. You will be forced to gather your own facts, and as you do, you will notice that you are detaching considerably. Tonight: Think about taking off for a few days. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You absorb a lot of information, and quite quickly at that. Nev-
ertheless, you might feel challenged by someone you look up to. Your limits could be tested, as well as your ability to handle someone else’s less-than-perfect behavior. Tonight: Spend time with a close friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone you know quite well might come barreling toward you like an enraged animal. How you handle this person’s behavior could determine the long-term durability of this bond. Think carefully about the ramifications. Tonight: Out and about. Others seek you out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might be trying to do so much that you could be accident-prone as you speed from one person or activity to another. You might need to take some time to sit down, discuss what needs to get done immediately, and revamp your schedule. Tonight: A close encounter. BORN TODAY Drummer Buddy Rich (1917), singer Shaan (1972), author Truman Capote (1924) ***

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: For many years, my husband and I hosted all the family holidays. Last year, my husband’s aunt invited us to stay with her for Thanksgiving and celebrate with her family. We gratefully accepted. She invited my in-laws, as well, although they opted not to go because my father-in-law wasn’t well. The aunt has extended the same invitation this year. Here’s our dilemma: My father-inlaw died eight months ago, and my motherin-law is now alone. She initially said that she would come along with us for Thanksgiving, but now says she is afraid to leave the house empty and won’t go. We’d like to keep our Thanksgiving invitation, but we don’t want to leave my motherin-law by herself on a holiday. What should we do? -- Torn in Los Angeles Dear Torn: The first year after being widowed can be lonely and frightening. Your mother-in-law is not ready to join your husband’s family for a holiday, and it would be a great kindness not to leave her alone. Tell the aunt how much you appreciate the invitation, but you simply cannot do it this year. (You also could consider inviting the aunt’s family to your home instead.) Then encourage Mom to get grief counseling. Sometimes these limitations become self-fulfilling prophecies if not addressed, and you should not be held hostage by her refusal to participate in life. Dear Annie: How do I tell my best friend that I find it tiresome and boring to talk to her? Whenever “Jane” calls me (which is several times a day), she goes on for hours about unimportant details. She took 15 minutes to tell me about her excursion to shop for vegetables. She often won’t even say hello when I pick up the phone and immediately starts rambling on. She rarely asks me how I’m doing. We talk on the phone a lot because Jane’s job involves traveling, and she calls me from her hands-free headset when she’s on the road. I once fell asleep during the conversation, and she didn’t notice. I have no problem telling Jane that I can’t talk at a given moment, and she’s OK with that. I do not want to cut her off. I’d just like these talks to have more interaction. I once told her that I am bothered by the way she converses, and she said she would try to change, but nothing happened. Except for this, Jane is a lovely person, and when she talks about anything else, the conversation can be really interesting. How do I deal with this in a nice way? -- Annie from Europe Dear Annie: Jane is basically talking to herself, recounting her day, perhaps trying to stay awake on long driving trips and attempting to make you part of her daily life. But this is both boring and egocentric. Her conversation is all about her. Best friends should be able to tell each other unpleasant facts without ruining the friendship. When Jane starts rambling, use humor mixed with forbearance. Say, “Jane, you are putting me to sleep. Let’s talk about this book I think you’ll like” -- or any other topic of mutual interest. Dear Annie: Your advice to “Hurt and Alone,” the woman whose husband has a good time with his cheating friends, was fine, but you didn’t address an important point. She said her husband managed to manipulate the therapist. A well-trained therapist doesn’t get manipulated. It sounds as if she and her husband were shortchanged by someone who couldn’t effectively dissect the situation and tackle the problems at hand. I’d like to suggest that she seek individual psychotherapy with a licensed mental health therapist (LMHT) or licensed certified social worker (LCSW). Her physician or a local hospital social worker can recommend someone, or she can contact United Way for a referral. -- Saved by a Competent Therapist Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Health Canada presides over billion-dollar marijuana market D e a n Be e by Canadian Press
OTTAWA — The Conservative government is launching a $1.3-billion free market in medical marijuana this Tuesday, eventually providing an expected 450,000 Canadians with quality weed. Health Canada is phasing out an older system on Monday that
mostly relied on smallscale, homegrown medical marijuana of varying quality, often diverted illegally to the black market. In its place, large indoor marijuana farms certified by the RCMP and health inspectors will produce, package and distribute a range of standardized weed, all of it sold for whatev-
er price the market will bear. The first sales are expected in the next few weeks, delivered directly by secure courier. “We’re fairly confident that we’ll have a healthy commercial industry in time,’’ Sophie Galarneau, a senior official with the department, said in an interview. “It’s a whole other ball game.’’
Coroner probes B.C. youth suicides Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Despite the media and political focus on bullying, an analysis of recent youth suicides in B.C. has found that bullying was a factor in only one in four cases. The B.C. Coroners Service released the report of a death review panel Thursday, looking at 91 youth suicides between 2008 and 2012. It recommends better coordination between schools, hospitals and mental health services to identify teens at risk of suicide, and follow-up after suicides to determine drug use, sexual orientation and other possible risk factors. More than 60 per cent of young people studied had previous or current contact with the mental health system,
the largest common factor. But 27 per cent of the cases were teens who took their lives without any previous warning signs identified by family, school or people in the community. Almost half of the teens in the study were 17 and 18, and two out of three successful suicides were boys. Of the 91 cases, 18 were aboriginal, a rate about twice as high as the general population. Michael Egilson, who chaired the B.C. Coroners Service Child Death Review Panel, said the next step is to meet with young people to get their input into how best to reach vulnerable teens before they harm themselves. NDP children and family development critic Carole James said more awareness and study of the problem is
helpful, but the recommendations have been made in other studies by coroners and Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s independent children’s advocate. James said parents often describe a “revolving door” where teens with mental illness go to emergency, get medication and are told to return to the hospital or call police if they have another crisis. Meanwhile they go on a waiting list for counselling or residential treatment, which can take several months. James said when she questioned Minister of Children and Family Development Stephanie Cadieux in budget debates this summer, she was told there are no more resources in the current budget to expand youth mental health services.
The sanctioned birth of large-scale, free-market marijuana production comes as the Conservatives pillory Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s campaign to legalize recreational marijuana. Health Canada is placing no limits on the number of these new capital-intensive facilities, which will have mandatory vaults and security systems. Private-dwelling production will be banned. Imports from places such as the Netherlands will be allowed. Already 156 firms have applied for lucrative producer and distributor status since June, with the first two receiving licences just last week. The old system fostered only a cottage industry, with 4,200 growers licenced to produce for a maximum of two patients each. The Mounties have com-
plained repeatedly these grow-ops were often a front for criminal organizations. The next six months are a transition period, as Health Canada phases out the old system by March 31, while encouraging medical marijuana users to register under the replacement regime and to start buying from the new factory-farms. There are currently 37,400 medical marijuana users recognized by the department, but officials project that number will swell more than 10-fold, to as many as 450,000 people, by 2024. The profit potential is enormous. A gram of dried marijuana bud on the street sells for about $10 and Health Canada projects the legal stuff will average about $7.60 next year, as producers set prices without interference from government.

Patients often use several grams a day to alleviate a wide range of symptoms, including cancer-related pain and nausea. They’ll no longer be allowed to grow it for themselves under the new rules. Revenues for the burgeoning new industry are expected to hit $1.3 billion a year by 2024, according to federal projections. And operators would be favourably positioned were marijuana ever legalized for recreational use, as it has been in two American states. Veterans Affairs Canada currently pays for medical marijuana for some patients, even though the product lacks official drug status. Some provinces are also being pressed to cover costs, as many users are too sick to work and rely on welfare. Health Canada currently sells medical
marijuana, produced on contract by Prairie Plant Systems, for $5 a gram, and acknowledges the new system will be more expensive for patients. Saskatoon-based Prairie Plant Systems, and its subsidiary CanniMed Ltd., were granted the first two licences under the system and are already advertising their new products on the web. Prospective patients, including those under the current system, must get a medical professional to prescribe medical marijuana using a government-approved form. Health Canada only reluctantly established its medical marijuana program, driven by court decisions from 2001 forward that supported the rights of suffering patients, even as medical science has been slow to verify efficacy.
