Habitat taking applications in January Habitat for Humanity project offers family in need an opportunity for home ownership they may not otherwise have
A R NE PE TRYS HEN Townsman Staff
The Cranbrook Habitat for Humanity project will start accepting applications for the first Habitat home in the community in January. The location for the new home is in the Slaterville neighbourhood. The application process will include interviews in January and then the final selection will
be decided in February. The Habitat for Humanity Canada homes are built by volunteers using donations. Gord Johnston, who is project leader and chair of the Cranbrook project, explained that the families are carefully selected and it is a misunderstanding that homes are given away. “We partner with a family
in need, who will hold a no-interest mortgage, to provide them with an opportunity for home ownership they may not otherwise be able to achieve,” Johnston said. The city donated the lot at 217 Crestbrook Avenue for the project, which is being run by the Habitat for Humanity West Kootenay affiliate. The build is being orga-
nized by the Adopt-a-Home Cranbrook committee. Johnston said there has been a good number of people and businesses that have come forward wanting to offer donations of goods and services. But he said they are also in need of cash donations for some of the building materials, tools for volunteers and expenses not covered by
donors. And because Habitat for Humanity is a registered non-profit society, it is able to issue tax receipts for donations. Once started, the build will be lead by Jim Bennett, a local retired contractor. Bennett hopes to start the project in April. “We’ve made a few changes to the original plans
in order for the home to better fit the configuration of the lot,” Bennett said. “We’ve also upgraded to double walls and triple-paned windows for energy efficiency and to suit our Cranbrook climate.”

Sound debate strikes chord at council ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

A number of Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP officers showed their support for Cst. Ian Ferrier, who is undergoing treatment for leukaemia, by taking pledges and having their heads shaved on Friday, Nov. 29. Pictured, left to right: retired Sgt. Gerry Smith, Cpl. Chris Newel, and Cpl. Barry Graham. Hairdressers, left to right: Kaitlyn Smith (Urban Roots), Jesse Robertson (Shure Cut) and Bruce Kirchhofer (Hilltop Hair by Bruce). Cpl. Spencer Marginson, Cst. Andrea Fitzpatrick and Bobbi Kirchhofer also took part. Other officers and staff chose to do the head shaving the day before.
The city may be hearing the music in terms of sound quality in Western Financial Place, as the Nov. 25 council meeting included discussions on the topic. Coun. Gerry Warner referenced Townsman editor Barry Coulter’s column in the newspaper on Nov. 22 about the need for improvements to sound quality in Western Financial Place. “Given the number of top rate concerts that are being attracted to Cranbrook … and given the dreadful acoustics in the place, a relatively cheap but effective solution to this might be the hanging of some kind of acoustic tiles,” Warner said. “That would really improve the sound quality and could be quite important from a revenue point of view, because we are attracting more concerts and the more concerts we get, the more revenue we have.”

Complaints of dogs running at large are on the rise to w n sm a n S ta f f
Residents are reminded that allowing your dog to run at large in the City of Cranbrook is not allowed, under the City’s Animal Control Bylaw. Under the bylaw, the owner of any animal shall ensure that such animal does not “run at large.” “Too many dog owners forget there are residents who are scared of dogs being off-leash, no matter how well-behaved the owner believes the dog to be,” says Naomi Humenny, Bylaw Services Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “It is common to hear the quote, ‘but my dog wouldn’t hurt anybody’. It is important to keep all dogs on leash when off private property as required in the bylaw.” “Run at large” is defined in short as any dog located on property other than that of the owner and not under immediate control by means of a leash. The Animal Control Officer may impound any animal found to be running at large and will keep the animal impounded until all impound fees and fines have been paid. The dog must also have a current licence and attached tag from the City of Cranbrook. The impound fees for a vicious dog is $200 for the first impound rising to $2000 after two or more impounds. A sterile, licensed dog would cost $25 rising to $150 per impound after three impounds; a non-sterile, licensed dog would cost $40 rising to $165 after three impounds. There is also the possibility of a $100 fine, if the dog is not impounded. Any complaints can be directed to the Bylaw Office at 250-489-9598. For more information about the City’s Animal Control Bylaw, please visit the city’s website and click on ‘Bylaws & Council Information’ under City of Cranbrook Links.

Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP tested their ball hockey skills against the Kootenay Ice on Friday in a game to benefit Kootenay Ice charity Believe in the Gold. The game took place in the Western Financial Place parking lot, where hot dogs and coffee were available by donation. The game was close, but in the end it was the Ice who managed to keep the RCMP officers at bay to take the win. Believe in the Gold supports families affected by childhood cancer, as well as increasing awareness of childhood cancers and raising funds for research. After the game, officers headed inside the arena to have their heads shaved to support a local officer undergoing chemo treatment for cancer.
Arts council launches Christmas tradition Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
Take a beloved holiday tradition to the next level this weekend. The Cranbrook and District Arts Council is hosting a gingerbread house decorating competition on Saturday, December 7 at its gallery on 10th Avenue next to Rotary Park. From 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., families and children can put their creative spirit to work and potentially win some great prizes. “I thought it would be a nice idea to have a go at it and make it into a fun family event. People can come to the gallery and duke it out
to see who can decorate the best gingerbread house,” said arts council administrator Helen Duckworth. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third place and an honourable mention. The happy decorators at the top of the pool can take home prizes including Kootenay Ice tickets and a signed stick, goodies from Starbucks and Sweet Gestures, and vouchers from Juniper Lanes, Leisure Services and the Downtown Business Association. “I’m going to let people go wild with what they want to do,” said Duckworth. “Some people take it

Big snow means big preview weekend at Kimberley ski hill C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin
Things are shaping up for one of the best opening days in a long time at Kimberley Alpine Resort, says KAR area manager Ted Funston. The resort announced this week that they will open for a preview weekend this Saturday and Sunday. The resort will then close for the week and re-open for the full season on December 14. “We’ve received over 100 centimetres over the last week, which fell on an already good snowfall of over a metre. This is one of the biggest snowfalls people can remember in Kimberley. Our year to date snowfalls total is now 207 centimetres, the largest we have had on record for this date in over 20 years,” Funston said.

College of the Rockies recently met all of the requirements for eligibility for funding research initiatives through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). The research centre is a federal research funding agency that promotes and supports postsecondary-based research and training in the humanities and social sciences. “SSHRC-supported
research in the social sciences and humanities can help us engage in community-based applied research projects related to social, cultural, environmental, economic and wellness issues,” said David Walls, College of the Rockies president and CEO. “We are very pleased to have obtained eligibility for funding through the council.” The benefits of SSHRC eligibility could very well be felt beyond

B.C. gets three deals with public workers C ana d i an P r e ss
VICTORIA — The B.C. government has reached tentative contract agreements with 51,000 public sector workers, giving the province five years of labour peace and workers a benefit-sharing deal. The three deals cover the B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union — about 11,000 people who work in social services, and another 15,000 community health employees. Finance Minister Mike de Jong says the agreements are novel because they offer pub-
lic-sector workers a chance to share in the benefits of stronger economic growth. The deals, reached four months before the current contracts expire, cover a five-year term and an economic growth-sharing dividend linked to the province's gross domestic product. Premier Christy Clark says the agreements will help her government keep its commitment to balance the budget. The BCGEU says the deals offer job protection and wage increases in four of the five years.

City support for Cranbrook Olympian Submit ted
On behalf of Cranbrook City Council, Mayor Wayne Stetski presented Gord McArthur a cheque for $500 to help with the cost of travelling to the 2014 Sochi Olympics in Russia in February. McArthur will represent the community and the country in the demonstration sport of ice climbing. The funds were drawn from Council’s contingency fund. The presentation was made
Friday. EKC CEO Jody Burk has sponsored McArthur for the past three years. “We are delighted to have been a part of Gord’s journey to Sochi for the past three years,” Burk said. “We wish him every success as he competes for Canada in the demonstration sport of ice climbing.” “We are very proud of Gord’s accomplishments to date and are very pleased to support his
participation in the 2014 Olympics,” said Mayor Stetski. “The entire City of Cranbrook will be with him in spirit and will be cheering him on in Sochi this coming February.” Mayor Stetski and Councillor Sharon Cross attended a special public meet and greet with Gord McArthur at the East Kootenay Community Credit Union on Baker Street following the 2013 Santa Claus Parade on Friday November 29.

Mayor Wayne Stetski said that he had spoken briefly with New on the topic and it is included in the recreation complex’s five year plan. “They may decide to bring it forward a little earlier — it wasn’t supposed to come forward for the next couple of
years,” Stetski said. “I tend to agree with Coun. Warner. Given the really high degree of performers we have coming to Western Financial Place, it might be worth looking at sooner rather than later.” Stetski said that would take place during budget talks.
Cranbrook Garden Club brings holiday spirit to hospital Submit ted
Members of the Cranbrook Garden Club brought their green thumbs indoors last week as they donated their time to decorate the lobby Christmas tree at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The group was invited to join in on the holiday spirit and raise some awareness for the
club as thanks for doing such a beautiful job of the hospital’s flower beds this past summer. The beds beside the main parking lot and around the lower level cafeteria’s outdoor patio were blooming with lush plants all summer long, bringing some colour and smiles to patients, visitors and staff.
Now with the holidays upon us the gardeners are bringing their winter spirit inside with a Christmas tree decorated in an outdoor theme with pine cones, poinsettias and birds. Whether its flower beds or a holiday tree, the Cranbrook Garden Club is making their own unique gift to health care.
Your family depends on you to arrive safely. Plan ahead. Check weather and road conditions, make sure your vehicle is winter ready and drive for the conditions.

Close encounters: The truth is out there “Wisdom is the reward for surviving your own stupidity.” Brian Rathbone “Too often, believing is seeing.” Me Picture this: Three old guys burning wieners over a small, smoky fire in a backyard. It’s Hallowe’en or thereabouts and George had just finished rambling on about Orson Welles’ famous broadcast of 1938, the one where he had aliens landing in the States. George had apparently stayed awake long enough some evening and watched a program about it on TV. I took over then and related my ancient tale of crossing the Rockies in a VW Bug back in the ‘50s when we’d run into some construction of the Trans-Canada highway in thick cloud at night and had had the fright of our lives as we’d almost been flattened by gigantic trucks looming out of the gloom. Then out of the gloom of that back garden came an apparition that evolved into Archie with a head-lamp on and a highways crew jacket with little red lights flickering on it. I almost dropped my beer can. Archie, at that time, was a new addition to our group of codgers. I’ve no idea who had first unearthed him, but he was different, and that is saying something when you consider the other three of us. My recent hotdog, for example, had just burst into
flames before I buried it in the ashes of the fire and Charlie’s boot was looking distinctly charred. Archie found a seat and turned off his lights. He said, “I’ve been thinking. I reckon I’ve been abducted by aliens.” “No,” I assured him, passing over a beer. “It’s just us. Three sort-of human beings.” George asked, reasonably enough, “When did this happen, Arch? This abduction?” “I don’t know. There’s all these signs like the blackouts I have.” Three of us peered at Peter him through the smoke. SeWarland nile decay was a very real topic with us. Blackouts were realities to us. I, for example, couldn’t remember why we were burning wieners in the yard when the wives could’ve done the job just as nicely indoors. “You ever go to bed in your pajamas and wake up in your underwear, with the jammies neatly folded on a chair?” Archie asked. Three of us peered at him through the haze. Archie went on: “You ever dream you’ve got big-eyed critters staring at you?” Three of us stared at him. “Close encounters, eh?” questioned George as he retrieved another fallen sausage from the ashes, wiped it clean on his pants leg and dumped on a plate. “I really was abducted by genuine aliens once. Little green guys with round heads.” We waited for the witticism then: “Who the heck would want you?” asked Charlie.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
“Still don’t understand what got into your wife’s head when she married you. You’re no prime example of a human being. Anyway, aliens don’t exist. They’re figments of collective imagination.” The four of us sat and tried to think as the smoke swirled about us, the night wind chilled us and hotdogs burned. “Then how come other folk keep seeing UFOs?” Archie demanded. “Maybe they’re really bacteria,” I suggested. “What? These sausages?” “No. The aliens. We’re full of them. I saw that in my Bathroom Reader. And they’re inside us checking up.” “How do they get here?” “In very small space ships, about the size of your brain cells,” said Charlie as he passed around some more beers then announced, “My sister Elsie claimed she had an encounter of the fourth kind. You know. The conjugal visit one.” There was a long silence. “I bet your parents totally went for that tall story,” I commented, laughing at the whole idea. “She get pregnant, your Elsie?” “The baby was still-born. Ugly as sin.” Three of us leaned forward. “You actually see it?” asked Archie. Sneer. “What you expect?” “Wonder who did what and with what and to whom?” asked George taking up the plate with the burned offerings and, with the cuffs of his jeans alight, he led the way indoors for some more palatable food. “You really wear jammies, Arch?” he asked. “Reckon you’re the alien!”

Ice melt in 3-0 loss to Royals TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Kootenay Ice melted in the presence of royalty on Tuesday evening. The team came out with a flat performance and were shut out 3-0 in Victoria in the first of their five-game swing through the B.C. Division. It was a lopsided special teams battle, as Victoria scored a pair of powerplay goals and notched a shorthanded effort to earn the win. The Royals jumped off to a two-goal lead after the opening 20 minutes, as Austin Carroll capitalized with the man advantage, while Brandon Magee scored shorthanded. “Five shots on net—a tough period. A tough game, period,” said Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson. “I don’t think we had one good player on our side tonight. Five shots on goal in the first period and a shorthanded goal against—that’s sums it up in a nutshell.” The shorthanded goal came late in the period, as Kootenay tried to get something going on their first powerplay of the game. “Obviously not a heads-up play, and lack of movement and lack of awareness on the better part, that’s the biggest issue,” continued Henderson. “It’s puck movement and awareness, and tonight we didn’t have that.” Logan Nelson added another goal in the second period, on another Victoria powerplay as the one-sided special teams battle continued to work against the Ice. The Royals two power play goals came in three chances with the man-advantage, while the Ice were shut out in all four opportu-
nities. Two siblings faced each other as Royals forward Mitch Skapski went up against his older brother Mackenzie, though the Kootenay Ice goaltender occupied the bench while teammate Wyatt Hoflin manned the crease. Hoflin made 16 saves in defeat, while Royals goaltender Coleman Vollrath earned his first career shutout with 25 stops. Royals defenceman Isaac Schacher also got to play against his hometown team, as the Kimberley native, who used to play for the Dynamiters in the KIJHL last year, is now up in the WHL full-time this season with the Royals. Schacher has a goal and four assists in 22 games. Kootenay will head to team captain Sam Reinhart’s childhood stomping grounds as they head to Vancouver to face the Giants on Wednesday night. Reinhart, who grew up in West Vancouver, will likely have a healthy contingent of family and friends in the stands at the Pacific Coliseum, as will overage D-man Jagger Dirk, who was born in Penticton and spent time in Vancouver as a child. The team will have to refocus and come prepared to play if they hope to be successful, said Henderson. “It’s a frustrating game, but we have a chance to make good on it tomorrow [Wednesday] night,” said Henderson. “It’s frustrating, but we got to learn from it, and as long as we don’t play the way we did, we’ll be fine. Basically correct everything that we did tonight and we should be fine. “It’s up to us and the guys on the ice if they want to show up or not.”

Rockies crumble under Dynamiters Jason Richter posts a hat trick as the Nitros heat up for a 4-1 win over Columbia Valley
TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Christmas came a little bit early for Nitro forward Jason Richter. Forechecking in the offensive zone in the dying seconds of the game, he forced a turnover and poked the puck into an empty net, however, play transitioned back down the ice before the referees called it a goal. “It was a bit of a gift,” said Richter. “I was working hard for it, but I kind of just got lucky and he gave it up for me.” That would complete his hat trick, as the Kimberley Dynamiters defeated the Columbia Valley Rockies on Tuesday night at the Civic Centre. Richter scored twice in the opening period, and added the empty netter for his hat trick, while Eric Buckley potted the other goal for the Nitros. Dynamiters goaltender Jeremy Mousseau faced a measly 15 shots and only allowed one goal for the win, while Rockies netminder Stewart Pratt
surrendered four goals in 28 shots. Despite the win, Kimberley found themselves down early, when Stephen Pratt out skated the Dynamiters defence for a puck and went in on Mousseau all alone for a breakaway goal. However, that didn’t seem the faze the Dynamiters bench, said Richter. “Sometimes when we get down early, our bench kind of dies, but tonight we really tried to focus on keeping the bench up, celebrating the positives and not letting the negatives get us down,” he said. Richter struck for his first goal on the powerplay, streaking into the offensive zone on a rush, and throwing the puck on net, which trickled through Pratt. With the seconds ticking down on the period, Jared Marchi went into Rockies territory on the forecheck while killing a penalty. He forced a turnover and fed Richter in front of the net, who buried his second to give the
Nitros a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes. The two teams held each other scoreless in the middle period, although both had some chances to get on the scoreboard.
“Sometimes when we get down early, our bench kind of dies, but tonight we really tried to focus on keeping the bench up, celebrating the positives and not letting the negatives get us down.” Jason Richter Buckley tallied in the third period, sneaking a shot by Pratt at the halfway mark of the frame to spot his team to a two-goal lead. Richter finished off his hat trick with 10 seconds left in the game, stripping the puck off a Rockies defenceman and barely shovelled it across the
line. The goal lamp lit up, but Columbia Valley collected the puck and moved back up the ice before the referees whistled down the play to award a goal. Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks praised his goaltender for staying focused in goal—a job that required only 14 saves all night. “We kept the shots under 20, I believe, and those are hard games for a goalie and he’s got to learn to play those games,” said Bancks. “I know if we give up 30 or 40, he’ll be in it and be good, but tonight was one of those games he’s got to learn to play and I thought he was great and made some big saves when he needed to.” The game also featured the arrival of the new guy, Tyler Garcia, a big six-foot forward who came via the Nelson Leafs. “Really happy with our new guy, Tyler Garcia,” continued Bancks. “I thought he had a phenomenal game. Really well coached, had a lot of good hits out
there, could’ve had some goals, so exactly what we needed.” The win covers some ground as Kimberley faces a seven-point deficit against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats for first place in the Eddie Mountain Division. Fernie trails the Nitros by only four points to occupy third place in the divisional standings. “They’ve got some skilled guys, but I think we just need to keep doing what we’re doing,” said Richter. “Just stay focused and ready to play a full 60 [minutes].” Nelson and Kamloops are currently duking it out for first overall in league standings, and are tied at 46 points. Kimberley heads up to Golden on Friday night to challenge the Rockets, before heading back home for a contest against the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. Golden recently snapped an 11-game losing streak, while the Nitehawks have won their last three in a row.

Navarro keen to return to starting role with Blue Jays Lori E wing Canadian Press
TORONTO - Alex Anthopoulos was prepared to stay the course with catcher J.P Arencibia, until he discovered the Toronto Blue Jays could make an upgrade behind the plate with free agent Dioner Navarro. The Jays officially parted way with Arencibia on Monday by declining to tender a contract offer to the fourthyear catcher. The move came after Anthopoulos signed Navarro to a twoyear, US$8-million deal. “Dioner had a wonderful year last year in 240 at bats, and we think that there’s some upside there, especially considering his age,” the Blue Jays’ GM said on a con-
ference call Tuesday. “We just think it’s a nice fit, and obviously we’ll find out.” Arencibia struggled through the worst season of career in 2013, with a .194 batting average, 21 home runs and 55 RBIs. The 27-year-old fan favourite, who began his Blue Jays career with so much promise - homering on his first major-league pitch in 2010 - struck out 148 times this past season, 15th most in Major League Baseball. Anthopoulos said he has no idea why Arencibia regressed so much last season. “I wish I did. I do think he’s going to bounce back,” Anthopoulos said. “He was a
Sports
little banged up, and one thing about J.P., he’s a very durable guy, very tough, plays through a lot of injuries. There was a time we almost put him on the (disabled list), he wanted to keep playing, he battled through it and grinded through it, and I’ve seen him play with a broken hand and things like that. “But I really don’t know, certainly we didn’t expect him to have that type of year. .. Obviously he’s very proud and has extreme pride in his job, and I think it may have just worn on him.” Still, Anthopoulos said the decision to replace Arencibia wasn’t made until the “last few weeks or so.”
Rogers snaps up naming rights to future downtown home of Edmonton Oilers C anadian Press
EDMONTON - Rogers Communications has purchased the naming rights for the future home of the Edmonton Oilers, further increasing the telecommunications giant’s reach in Canadian professional sports. Rogers said in a release Tuesday that the downtown arena, which is set to open in 2016, will be named Rogers Place. The announcement
comes on the heels of a new 12-year, $5.2-billion media rights agreement between the Rogers and the NHL. The deal, which is the largest in NHL history, gives Rogers national rights to all NHL games,on all of its platforms in all languages. Rogers has become a major player on the Canadian sports scene in the last decade. It owns baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays and with
Wednesday, DECEMBER 4, 2013
rival Bell is part owner of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, which counts the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs, NBA’s Toronto Raptors and MLS’s Toronto FC among its properties. Rogers already has naming rights for two other major sports venues. The Blue Jays and CFL’s Toronto Argonauts play at the Rogers Centre, while the NHL’s Vancouver Canucks call Rogers Arena home.

Martin, Jacobs undefeated at Roar of the Rings C anadian Press
WINNIPEG - Glenn Howard played a game that was memorable for all the wrong reasons at the Canadian curling trials Tuesday night. The four-time world champion from Penetanguishene, Ont., allowed 2010 Olympic gold medallist Kevin Martin to score four in the ninth end in a 9-7 come-frombehind victory. “That’s the worse loss of my life, right there,” said Howard, 51, who’s also won four Briers. The victory lifted Martin’s record to 4-0, keeping the Edmonton skip as one of only two undefeated rinks at the trials, which will determine Canada’s men’s and women’s teams at next year’s Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Reigning Canadian champion Brad Jacobs from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., has also yet to lose a game after he beat Calgary’s Kevin Koe 9-4. Koe is at the bottom of the field with a 0-4 record, while hometown
favourite Jeff Stoughton is 1-3 following an 11-5 loss to B.C.’s John Morris (3-1). Mike McEwen, Manitoba’s other men’s rink, defeated Toronto’s John Epping 10-7. McEwen improved to 2-2 and Epping is 1-3. The women’s side also had two teams sharing the top of the standings. Jennifer Jones and Val Sweeting sit at 3-1, although Sweeting is technically in the lead among the women, thanks to handing Jones her only loss so far. But at this point, it’s what happens next that all 16 teams know matters most in trying to get into the finals, which are Saturday for the women and Sunday for the men. “It will be the turning point Wednesday, Thursday, obviously,” said Heather Nedohin, who handed Sweeting her first loss with a last rock draw to win a tight game 6-5. “I don’t think anyone at the trials ever has done this undefeated,” said Sweeting.
“I thought we just got outplayed.” Both teams curl out of the Saville Community Sports Centre in Edmonton. Nedohin sits in a five-team logjam below the leaders at 2-2 with Renee Sonnenberg alone at 1-3, a spot unlikely to give her a shot at moving on. Jones dominated Sonnenberg from start to finish Tuesday, shaking hands at 7-2 after the eighth. It was a solid comeback after Monday night’s 9-6 loss to Sweeting, which included a disastrous four in the seventh end. “I don’t know if we gave it away, we just made too many mistakes so it wasn’t our best effort,” said Jones. “I thought we bounced back as well as could have today.” Saskatoon’s Stefanie Lawton earned her second win with a 7-5 decision over Winnipeg’s Chelsea Carey, and in an all-Ontario game Sherry Middaugh bowed 6-5 to Rachel Homan in an extra end.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) At times, you just can’t seem to give a higher-up the respect he or she desires. Are you revealing your true feelings? The unexpected marks your actions. To many people, you are changing in front of their eyes. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Kick back and take in the big picture. How you see a situation could change as a result of this process. Once you gain a better understanding of the mechanics involved, you will transform your ideas accordingly. Tonight: Listen to what a loved one shares. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Deal with a loved one directly. Your fatigue could mark a discussion with this person. Take a deep breath before you start. Realize what you hope to get from this situation, and you will be able to make a decision about whether the timing is right. Tonight: Togetherness.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Defer to others, and follow through on what you want to do. That extra time you save could make all the difference in what happens. You’ll hear a lot from someone in your daily life about what you need to do. Make your own choices. Tonight: Listen to your inner voice first. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Tap into an associate’s imagination, and you will be delighted and challenged simultaneously. You might want to reverse direction or do something differently. Once you settle on a new path, don’t let anyone distract you. Tonight: Push on till the wee hours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your perceptions come from your intuition. Sometimes a partner might make fun of this quality. This person just wishes he or she could home in like you do. Be willing to rearrange your schedule. You might decide to approach a topic differently. Tonight: Fun and games. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Tension builds and creates greater motivation to complete
Tundra
a personal matter. You know that some of your ideas are great, but you get distracted easily. Revise your thinking if it becomes apparent that you might be straying down the wrong path. Tonight: Head home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Resist following your gut, as it could lead to trouble. A situation involving your health and daily life could take an interesting turn. You might want to assess your plans and your approach to an important matter. Can you avoid a power play? Tonight: Visit with a loved one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be sensitive to your financial situation and where it could land you. You might want to jump on a sudden offer, but you seem to be restrained. What might appear to be a good risk suddenly could turn out to be too dangerous to mess around with. Tonight: Your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are in your element. A family member might test your decisions as of late. You’ll adjust
your approach as a result of their attitude. You seem to be changing. If a thought keeps lurking in your mind, listen to it; it probably has value. Tonight: The world is your oyster. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Saying less and listening more is a safer course for you to take. What you hear could be quite unexpected yet significant. Use caution with your finances right now. A friend could share a secret that might help you make a decision. Tonight: Not to be found. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Zero in on what you want. A friendship plays a strong role in the next few days. Your intuition also might be somewhat important, as you pick up a lot on a subliminal level. Make a call to a parent or older friend later today. Tonight: Don’t overthink a personal matter.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have not shared a birthday, holiday or special occasion with my son for the past five years, since he married. He has two children now. We always have been close, but I’m so sad that my daughter-in-law won’t let me be a grandmother. Their first year of marriage, they alternated holidays and combined our families. When they had their first child, however, “Rhonda” said it was too much, and now all holidays are spent with her family. They are wonderful people, but she is not willing to share her toddlers’ time with her husband’s family, including his siblings. I do not get the privilege of babysitting or having the kids over to my house for the day. I am not allowed to pick them up or bring them places. I live nearby, but they never stop over. Rhonda is socially immature, and I believe she is naive as well as selfish. She holds all power and control and is judgmental and unkind. She gives every excuse to avoid us. Her family has tried to reason with her, to no avail. My son is terribly hurt by this and tries his best to include me for a short visit at least once a month. I am grateful, but not satisfied. I am fun-loving, happy, giving, appreciative and accepting. I make the most of whatever time I am allowed. But Rhonda is negative, self-centered and rude and does her best to spoil the visit. I’ve tried several times to discuss this with her, have prayed and have shared words of wisdom and scripture, but nothing breaks through. My son prefers to avoid a confrontation. Should I also give up? -- Grandmother Missing Out Dear Grandmother: How sad that Rhonda denies her children the privilege of knowing all of their grandparents. Would your son be willing to bring the kids to your home for a visit without Rhonda? And if you can manage it, consider inviting the entire family, including Rhonda’s folks, to your place now and then. We also recommend you work on ways to warm up the relationship with Rhonda. Surely you can find something to admire about her and keep quiet about the rest. We hope, in time, she will realize that what goes around comes around. Dear Annie: My husband and I frequently go out to dinner with several other couples. One of the wives is a vegetarian. That’s fine, but she sometimes makes a scene with the server. She argues about the way things are prepared and accuses the waitstaff of lying. It’s become quite embarrassing, and some of our other friends refuse to go out with her anymore. It recently happened again. My husband and I were mortified when she sent her meal back and accused the waiter of giving her the wrong dish. It ruined our night. I think we should say something, but my husband thinks it will ruin the friendship. Any suggestions? -- Carnivore in Florida Dear Carnivore: It is not unheard of for restaurants to prepare vegetarian meals with chicken broth or beef stock without declaring it. However, it is rude to accuse the waitstaff of lying and cause a scene. We recommend you do a search in your area for vegetarian restaurants when socializing with this couple. Otherwise, let them know you won’t be going out to eat with them because it is obviously too stressful. Dear Readers: Sunday, Dec. 8, is The Compassionate Friends’ Worldwide Candle Lighting in memory of all the children who have died. Please light a candle in the evening at 7 p.m., local time, and remember them with love. For more information, log on to compassionatefriends.org.

Obituaries Rosalie Elena Sherret July 15, 1928 December 1, 2013
Our dear mother, Rosalie Elena Sherret, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lenaâ&#x20AC;? to all who knew her, passed from this world on December 1, 2013. While our lives are significantly less without her we are blessed by her legacy of kindness, goodness and unwavering love. Lena was a Kootenay woman through and through. She was born in Cranbrook, and her first home with parents Lionel and Eliza Pippen and sister Laura was at Fort Steele. The family then moved to Mayook where her brother Clifford and sister Florence came into the family. Lenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to community service was a value instilled by her parents and the early settlers of the Mayook Valley. She continued this legacy of service when she moved to Bassano, Alberta and became a practical nurse. Her education instilled a sense of pride and independence that she passed on to her children. She returned to Cranbrook where she worked at the St. Eugene hospital, met her husband Dave and they were married in 1954. They started their family of five children in Cranbrook then move to Mayook to farm the land settled by her parents and Irish uncles, Jack and George Humphrys. She was a friend and neighbour to all who lived in the Mayook Valley. Lena embraced her life as a farming woman and she took great pride in her family, her garden and her cows. She was a welcoming and ever helpful neighbour and she delighted in impromptu visits that always included a cup of tea or an extra seat at the dinner table. Community was of great importance to Lena. She was a devoted member of the Anglican Church and as an Anglican Church Woman she was renown for her homemade bread and knitted mittens for their annual fall bazaar. After leaving the farm, Lena and Dave moved back to Cranbrook to enjoy retirement. Again, Lenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for her community shone through in her volunteer work with the Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store and the Key City Theatre. Lena also loved to travel, especially the three trips to Ireland to visit her ancestral home. Perhaps her greatest joy was realized in her role as grandmother and great-grandmother. She is predeceased by her sister Laura, husband Dave and daughter-in-law Toni. She leaves to celebrate her life her children and family: David, Rosemary, Megan and Sheila; Laura Lynn, Bob, Tyson and Eliza; Brian; Melvin, Jill, Kya and India; Norma, Denis, Sarah, Todd and Chelsa and four great grandchildren. Mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devotion to her family, friends and community are reflected in the following words: I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again. A memorial service for Lena will be held on Thursday December 5, 2013 at 1:00 pm at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook, BC. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in honour of Lena may do so in her name to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital Auxillary, 13-24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3H9. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.
3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.
5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web
content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.
6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.
7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35. 8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns. 9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.
10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium. SOURCE: Newspaper Association of America

Man survives three days at bottom of Atlantic, rescued after finding air pocket in tugboat ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAGOS, Nigeria — Entombed at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in an upended tugboat for three days, Harrison Odjegba Okene begged God for a miracle. The Nigerian cook survived by breathing an ever-dwindling supply of oxygen in an air pocket. A video of Okene’s rescue in May — http://www. youtube.com/watch?vArWGILmKCqE — that was posted on the Internet more than six months later has gone viral this week. To this day, Okene believes his rescue after 72 hours underwater at a depth of 30 metres (about 100 feet) is a sign of divine deliverance. The other 11 seamen aboard the Jascon 4 died. Divers sent to the scene were looking only for bodies, according to Tony Walker, project manager for the Dutch company DCN Diving. The divers, who were working on a neighbouring oil field 120 kilometres away when they were deployed, had already pulled up four bodies. So when a hand appeared on the TV screen Walker was monitoring in the rescue boat, showing what the diver in the Jascon saw, everybody assumed it was another corpse. “The diver acknowledged that he had seen the hand and then, when he went to grab the hand, the hand grabbed him!’’
AP Photo/DCN Diving
Harrison Odjegba Okene looks in awe as a rescue diver surfaces into the air pocket which has kept Okene alive for nearly three days, recorded by the diver’s headcam video. Walker said in a telephone interview Tuesday. On the video, there’s an exclamation of fear and shock from Okene’s rescuer, and then joy as the realization sets in. Okene recalls hearing: “There’s a survivor! He’s alive.’’ Walker said Okene couldn’t have lasted much longer. “He was incredibly lucky he was in an air pocket but he would have had a limited time (before) ... he wouldn’t be able to breath anymore.’’ Okene’s ordeal began around 4:30 a.m. on May 26. Always an early riser, he was in the toilet when the tug, one of three towing an oil tanker in Nigeria’s oil-rich Delta waters,
gave a sudden lurch and then keeled over. “I was dazed and everywhere was dark as I was thrown from one end of the small cubicle to another,’’ Okene said in an exclusive interview after his rescue with Nigeria’s Nation newspaper. He groped his way out of the toilet and tried to find a vent, propping doors open as he moved on. He discovered some tools and a life vest with two flashlights, which he stuffed into his shorts. When he found a cabin of the sunken vessel that felt safe, he began the long wait, getting colder and colder as he played back a mental tape of his life
— remembering his mother, friends, mostly the woman he’d married five years before with whom he hadn’t yet fathered a child. He got really worried when he heard the sound of fish, shark or barracudas he supposed, eating and fighting over something big. As the waters rose, he made a rack on top of a platform and piled two mattresses on top. He survived off just one bottle of Coke, all he had to sustain him during the trauma. Okene really thought he was going to die, he told the Nation, when he heard the sound of a boat engine and anchor dropping, but failed to get the attention of rescuers. He figured, given the size of the boat, that it would take a miracle for a diver to locate him. So he waded across the cabin, stripped the wall down to its steel body, then knocked on it with a hammer. But “I heard them moving away. They were far away from where I was.’’ By the time he was saved, relatives already had been told the sailors were dead. He was rescued by a diver who first used hot water to warm him up, then attached him to an oxygen mask. Once free of the sunken boat, he was put into a decompression chamber and then safely returned to the surface.
Family demands action after senior neglected until flesh blackens C ANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Alberta’s health minister says his department will investigate further the case of a 73-year-old senior who was left with untreated bed sores for so long that her flesh blackened and decayed. Violet MacDonald has since died. “The system has failed this resident and we will do our best to find out why,’’ Fred Horne told the legislature during question period Monday. “This sort of situation is unacceptable in this province in any circumstance. I have asked Alberta Health Services’ onsite team to monitor operations at this facility until my questions are answered.’’ MacDonald was a resident for years at Calgary’s McKenzie Towne Care Centre. Her daughter, Cassie Liska, with the assistance of the opposition Wildrose party, held a

Violet MacDonald
news conference earlier Monday. Liska told reporters that care home staff misled her on the severity of the bed sores on her mother, who suffered from dementia. In February, MacDonald was left in a soiled diaper for two days, infecting the bed sores and causing severe blood poisoning. Liska said even when staff
were taking Violet to the hospital, they refused to let her see the extent of the wounds and even barred the door to her mother’s room with a chair to keep the family out. “I am afraid for not only myself, but scared for anyone who has a loved one that they’re not able to be with 24/7,’’ said Liska. “Violet deserved better, and we deserved better. “I’m here to tell her story today with the hope that changes can be made so nobody ever has to endure the abuse that my mother did.’’ Pictures handed out to media show MacDonald’s buttocks were black from decayed flesh. MacDonald was in and out of hospital for much of the rest of this year and died in late October. Liska said the government only investigated the case after she insisted. A followup report ordered the centre to overhaul
its wound dressing procedures and report back by the end of the year. Wildrose seniors issues critic Kerry Towle said the case is further proof that the province needs an independent seniors advocate who can research these issues and not be beholden to the province. “We would not accept children to receive this type of treatment under provincial care. Why would we allow the same thing to happen to Alberta seniors?’’ said Towle. “It is why we made the child and youth advocate independent, and it’s why we need to make the seniors’ advocate independent. “We need an advocate that can fully audit the system and identify the shortfalls.’’ Premier Alison Redford’s government is bringing in a seniors advocate early next year, but the advocate will report to Horne and not the legislature.

B.C. teen labelled as high risk to commit terrorism C ANADIAN PRESS
KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A provincial court judge has tightened restrictions on a Kamloops, B.C., teenager labelled by the RCMP as a high risk to commit targeted acts of violence and terrorism. The court heard that Mounties searched the 17-year-old boy’s home earlier this year and found documents about bomb making, interrogation and torturing techniques and Canadian links to al-Qaida. The youth, who can’t be named under a publication ban, was in court Monday after he pleaded guilty to as-
saulting a social worker last month and breaching probation. He is already serving a three-year probation order for a conviction of arson and break and enter last year. Judge Chris Cleaveley sentenced the teen to 20 days in custody and 10 days of community supervision for the recent charges, and then tightened the teen’s probation conditions after hearing about the materials Mounties found in his home. The conditions include a ban on Internet access and on any written materials related to terrorist activities.
Pop star Miley Cyrus tops Yahoo Canada searches in 2013 C ANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Yahoo Canada is out with its ninth annual list of top searches and twerking pop star Miley Cyrus tops the list for 2013 ahead of Toronto mayor Rob Ford. Cyrus garnered attention at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards for her provocative performance while Ford remains embroiled in a crack cocaine scandal. Yahoo Canada says BlackBerry took the No. 3 spot in overall searches ahead of Kim Kardashian and the book ‘’Fifty Shades of Grey.’’ As for the top news story searches on Yahoo Canada, the search engine says the murder of Hamilton, Ont., man Tim Bosma was No. 1 on the list in 2013. The Boston Mara-
thon explosions were second, the selection of a new pope was third, followed by the Cleveland kidnappings and the flooding in southern Alberta. Yahoo Canada says the ongoing Senate spending scandal led all searches in the Economic and Political issues category ahead of the Liberal leadership race. In searches for newsmakers, Yahoo Canada says most of the queries were for Pakistan schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai, followed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. Drug-related suspensions in Major League Baseball topped the sports-related searches on Yahoo Canada, with stories about gay athletes coming out in second place.
Ball gown worn by Diana fetches $167,000 at auction Associated Press
LONDON — A lavish white and gold ballet-inspired ball gown worn by Princess Diana has fetched 102,000 pounds ($167,000) at a London auction. Kerry Taylor Auction said the strapless gown, which features gold se-
quins, rhinestones and pearl beads, was not designed for Diana — but the royal chose it herself from a collection by her favourite designers, the Emanuels. The auction house said Diana wore the dress on various occasions.
