Local veterinary clinic sets its lasers to heal ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff
For almost 20 years the Cranbrook Veterinary Hospital has been treating furry felines and canines in the community, and recently it acquired a new treatment technique – therapeutic laser. Dr. Jamie Levine, who together with Dr. Bob Clark, runs the clinic, said the technology is a relatively recent addition to the veterinary industry. “This is a technology that I heard about a year ago,” Dr. Levine said. “It’s a near infra-
red laser, so it’s just past the visible wavelengths. It goes deep into tissue. It reduces inflammation, reduces pain, enhances healing.” Levine said at first he was skeptical, but found the science behind it sound. The laser therapy increases cell metabolism, increases blood flow and decreases pain. And though it doesn’t work for everything, he has found it to be quite effective. The treatment is usually administered two or three times a few days apart for the best ben-

The 33rd annual Mass Choir concert, Cranbrook’s largest vocal event, was held at the Alliance Church for the second year in a row, on Wednesday, Dec. 4. Every seat in the 1,000-seat church was filled for the performance by 350 students from all nine of Cranbrook’s elementary schools, and featured a selection of carols, interspersed with readings from the gospels. The event serves as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army, and Captain Linda Green was on hand to meet student representatives of the schools prior to the concert. As of press time, the totals collected for the cause were unavailable.

Who is 2013’s Woman of the Year? The Cranbrook chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women is seeking nominations for local women who make the community a better place Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
For 30 years, outstanding women who are pivotal to the East Kootenay’s communities have been recognized for their dedication. The Cranbrook chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women is again preparing to recognize great contributions by local women this year. “This will be our 30th year CFUW Cranbrook Club has honoured East Kootenay women,” stated Woman of the Year Committee Chair, Cathryn Henley. Is there a woman in your community who goes beyond the call of duty to create a better place for everyone? If so, the organization would like you to
nominate that woman for the award by Feb. 14, 2014. “We know there are several more outstanding women in the East Kootenay, but we need the community to nominate them,” said Henley. It is important not to let on to the woman in mind that you are planning to nominate her. Those who give themselves for the good of others mostly do it without expecting recognition, and will put the brakes on a nomination if they know about it, Henley explained. “These kinds of people do not usually think they are doing anything above the call of duty, or give more of themselves than others. That is one of the reasons why they are so spe-
Technological advancements help local vets Continued from page A1 They also have a digital X-ray machine that takes photos like a digital camera does and provides the technician with instant results. “We can send the photos off to specialists and have a lot more remote telemedicine to get answers on things we’re not sure about,” he said. He said the services offered in veterinary medicine today are vastly different than the James Harriet style, oneman vet of the past. “There is a lot of technology, a lot of staff and a lot of education that’s constantly being required,” he said. The clinic only works
on dogs and cats, which Levine says keeps them so busy that’s all they can focus on. “There are enough weird things in dogs and cats that it keeps us challenged,” he said. “We see issues very similar to people can have a lot of times: diabetes, irritable bowel problems, pancreatitis, bone issues, knees going out, thigh problems, dental issues… the list goes on.” The Cranbrook Veterinary Hospital was started in 1994 by Dr. Levine and Dr. Clark. Recently, Dr. Kathryn Arbic has joined the team. Arbic recently moved from Prince George.
cial,” she said. The Woman of the Year award was set up in 1984 to recognize women who betters the lives of those around her and creates better opportunities in education or safety of women. Previous East Kootenay Women of the Year include Sophie Pierre (1984), Sheilah Moore (1991), Ruby Sinclair (2001), Karin Penner (2005), Vicky Dalton (2011) and, last year, Jenny Humphrey. To learn how to make a nomination, visit www.cfuw-cranbrook. com. “All of this effort to submit a well-researched nomination with letters of support takes time. It is best to get started now if you have not already done so,” added Henley.

Heritage register could be in Cranbrook’s future Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff
In B.C. there are now a number of communities that have adopted a community heritage register, and some local residents hope that Cranbrook will soon join that list. Dave Humphrey, in a correspondence to council, said he hopes to see the city begin to develop the Cranbrook Community Heritage Register. The register is an official listing of historic places identified as having significant heritage value or character. Back in 2003, a resolution for the creation of the Cranbrook Community Register was passed by the council of the time, but Humphrey said, the register still has no entries. Over the past few weeks Humphrey said he’s contacted communities across B.C. that have developed Community Heritage Registers.
In each case Humphrey received responses on how they run the registers. With that information, he hoped to present the results to either council or the Wellness and Heritage Committee. Council received the information and forwarded it to that committee. Mayor Wayne Stetski said the register is an important step forward for the community. Coun. Sharon Cross noted that Dave and Jenny Humphrey travelled to Vancouver on their own money to take a workshop on writing statements of significance on heritage buildings or buildings of significance. “This was done by the senior heritage planner with the heritage branch of the ministry,” Cross noted. Coun. Gerry Warner said there are two heritage designations in Cranbrook.
“We have two heritage ranking systems in town right now,” Warner said. “We have about 10 buildings designated heritage buildings by bylaw. Once we establish a heritage register, there are many more buildings that could be considered for eventual bylaw status. This will be the first step in doing this, getting on the register.” Warner was thankful for the work done by Dave and Jenny Humphrey. “We’re going to have a professional appraisal of these potential heritage buildings before they move ahead to bylaw designation,” he said. “There are a lot of communities dealing with heritage designation in this way, and I think it’s good that Cranbrook is going to finally do the same.” So what would being included in the Cranbrook Community Heritage Register entail?
First a nomination form would need to be filled in by an individual, organization or local government; Then there is an agreement form to record the building/structure owner’s support, without which the nomination would not continue; That is followed by an evaluation process for dealing with the nominations. Humphrey notes that the process for writing up the Statements of Significance would be at no cost to the city. Completed nominations and Statements of Significance would be submitted to council for approval prior to being added to the Cranbrook Community Heritage Register. Council could also submit the listings for possible inclusion on the provincial British Columbia Register of Historic Places and the national Canadian Register of Historic Places.

A wind chill warning has been issued for the East Kootenay. Environment Canada’s Weather Office put out the warning for all regions of B.C. along the Rockies. Extreme wind chill values below minus 35
were set to hit Thursday night and continue through Friday night. “Arctic air combining with brisk winds will produce extreme wind chill values below minus 35 over the British Columbia Peace River and the regions along the Rockies to-
night (Thursday) into Friday morning,” said the weather warning. The weekend’s weather is expected to improve, with sunny conditions forecast. However, it will remain cold, with highs of minus 18 on Saturday and minus 19 on Sunday.

on impaired driving Saturday Continued from page 1
There will be additional RCMP officers on Cranbrook and Kimberley’s roads on Saturday during the combined effort of Traffic Services and Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP. Alcohol affects people in different ways. Factors such as diet, fatigue, and prescription drugs can change how alcohol affects an individual. It is possible to be considered impaired even if you have a blood alcohol content below 0.08. Driving after using drugs, even prescription drugs, is just as dangerous as drinking and driving. Trained drug recognition experts can determine that you’re under the influence of a drug and you can be charged with drug-impaired driving. Sgt. Erichsen said RCMP are changing the way they conduct road blitzes to adapt to the age of social media. “Your typical roadblock – which has been the thing people have seen over the past 20 years or so – is losing ef-
fectiveness because as soon as the first couple of people go through, the social media takes over and everybody knows where we are,” he said. “There will be more roving patrols and short term road checks set up. “Basically, we are going to be everywhere.” Throughout the holiday season, RCMP will be watching closely for impaired drivers during this campaign, which began on Nov. 27 and runs until Jan. 2. “It’s to raise awareness to the problem in general. Impaired driving continues to be a problem that costs people their lives or serious injuries and effects people’s livelihoods and the ability for families to continue to make ends meet,” said Sgt. Erichsen. “On December 7 in particular, we are increasing our numbers in order to make a statement and drive home the point that we need to be safe and responsible despite the fact that it is the festive season.”

Art for Christmas
Some kinky comic history
Support local artists at Key City Theatre’s Affordable Art and Christmas Craft Fair, Dec. 14 S a lly MacD on al d Townsman Staff
BOOKNOTES
Mike Selby Okay, this one is weird. “The Emotions of Normal People” first appeared in 1928. It was written by William M. Marston, a Harvard-trained psychologist and lawyer. This book introduced Marston’s DISC theory, which is still used today by psychologists as a tool in assessing behaviour. He followed this book with ‘Integrative Psychology’ in 1931, which he cowrote with his wife Elizabeth, another psychologist/lawyer. Elizabeth was a bit of a “wonder woman.” Raised in a traditional Boston family, she railed against the stereotypes assigned to her gender at the time. Since her role was to be in the kitchen (barefoot and pregnant), her parents refused to pay for any post-secondary education. So she paid for it herself by selling cookbooks door to door. Although she excelled at school, Harvard didn’t admit women to its law school, so she grudgingly attended Boston University. After breezing through the bar exam, she enrolled in Radcliffe to get an advanced psychology degree. Although she had met and married Marston by this time, she refused to allow him to pay her way. Elizabeth had a temper though, and Marston noticed his wife’s face would flush whenever she was angry. Noticing emotions appeared to influence blood pressure, Marston invented the first systolic blood pressure test. The success of this invention led Marston to create the first polygraph machine, and its accompanying textbook, “The Lie Detector
Elizabeth Marston (left) and Olive Byrne (right): Two women who were synthesized to form Wonder Woman. Test.” At the outbreak of the Second World War, Marston became interested in the increasingly popular superhero comic books, and decided to write one himself. He created the character Suprema, who had “all
the strength of a Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman.” All American Publications were immediately taken with Marston’s idea, and Suprema made her debut in the December 1941 issue of All Star Comics. Except the publisher had changed her name to Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman was an instant hit, and one of the most fascinating comic book characters ever created. The first woman to appear in a comic book who wasn’t tied to the railway tracks waiting to be rescued, she also possessed something unique about her besides her gender: she didn’t have a tragic backstory. Wonder Woman was an Amazon princess who chose to use her gifts in the world of men. Unnaturally strong, she easily repelled bullets with the bracelets she wore, and her sandals let her run long distances without tiring. But her prime weapon was the Golden Lasso of Truth, a gift from the Greek god Hephaestus.
(It is almost comforting to know that the Lasso of Truth was created by the guy who invented the polygraph.) Yet it is here the comfort ends. Although it would not to be too much of a stretch to guess that Marston based Wonder Woman on his unstoppable wife, he did so but in character only. Wonder Woman’s supermodel body was based on a college student named Olive Byrne; who was also Marston’s lover. And his wife’s lover. All three lived ménage à trois under the same roof, and both women gave birth to numerous children fathered by Marston. Unusual enough, the Marston trio was also heavily into sexual bondage and domination. When this fact became public, many went back to the early Wonder Woman comics to see if there was any of this in the subtext. Marston’s sexual enthusiasms do not appear in the subtext of the comics he wrote — they are crystal clear on almost every single page. Someone is tied up and
gagged in just about every third panel. His editor at All American did indeed notice the amount of bondage happening and confronted him about it. Marston replied that it was the only way for villains to subdue the hero without killing her. Unconvinced, the editor tried to remove much of the kink from the stories, but in retrospect he felt he “was probably making it worse.” Marston’s run on Wonder Woman was short lived though, as he died in 1947 at age 53. Elizabeth and Olive continued to live together and helped raised each other’s children. Wonder Woman continues to be as popular as ever, and her recent comic run was written by “My Sister’s Keeper” novelist Jodi Picoult. Picoult has the unique distinction of being Wonder Woman’s first woman writer, which no doubt would have pleased her creator.
Take advantage of a rare chance to pick up artwork at low prices at the Key City Theatre’s Affordable Art exhibit and sale, going on now in Cranbrook. Pieces by more than 20 East Kootenay artists have been on display since Nov. 25 upstairs at the theatre, explained Nick Johansson, KCT’s marketing coordinator. The art ranges from glass etchings, priced at $15 to $20, to woodworking, priced around $30, and paintings starting at $45. No artwork costs more than $300. “It tends to be one of the more popular ones we have because it is centred around Christmas and it’s affordable. It’s kind of a win-win for the artists and the people,” said Johansson. “It’s the easiest sell ever, because getting artwork for a Christmas present is the gift that will always give.” The participating artists come from all over the region, including Invermere, Fairmont, Jaffray, Creston, Kimberley and Cranbrook.
“We have artists from all over the East Kootenay that have submitted work,” said Johansson. “It provides a good variety of art.” And next week, there will be an opportunity to view the art, meet the artists and browse through stalls of local crafters and artisans at the theatre. In conjunction with the Affordable Art Show, a Christmas Craft Fair will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14. Twenty local artists will be on hand, showcasing 70 artworks. There will be another 20 local crafters and artisans selling handmade crafts and stocking stuffers. To get everyone in the Christmas mood, there will be carollers, refreshments and door prizes. “There was a farmers’ market over the past weekend which was really successful. But there wasn’t really another opportunity leading up to Christmas for some of the vendors and artisans to sell their wares,” said Johansson. “It should be a really fun event, for sure.”

A
Jesus’s awful family tree
new year in the life of the church began this past Sunday. We are once again in the season of Advent, a season of hope and preparation. In the season of Advent, the church looks both backwards and forward in time. We look backwards to the birth of Jesus. Jesus came proclaiming that the kingdom of God was near to us. In Jesus, God’s dream of a world made new and set right was given a fresh urgency. But the world we live in is not like that, so we also look forward in Advent to the possibility of God’s dream becoming a reality. That’s what makes Advent a season of anticipation and expectation. We are getting ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmas. We also examine ourselves to see how faithfully we are working in partnership with God for the healing of the world. In churches that follow the Revised Common Lectionary (a listing of texts we use in common), this is the year in which the gospel of Matthew sets the tone. Matthew begins his story about Jesus in a way that’s not very exciting—a genealogy. So–and–so begat so–and so, who begat so–and–so, and it goes on for 17 long verses. In the midst of the boredom, there is something very interesting about this genealogy. Most genealogies list only men. After all, it was a patriarchal culture. But Matthew breaks those boundaries and includes five women in his genealogy. And what women they are! All five of
these women share something in common: Sex scandals. Tamar tricks her father–in–law in Genesis 38 into having sex with her which leads to a pregnancy. Genesis 38:24 says quite plainly that Tamar has been ‘playing the whore’. The second woman, Rahab, was a prostitute who sheltered Israelite spies during the time when Israel was coming into the land. Rev. Yme The third woman is Ruth. Woensdregt She’s unmarried, yet doesn’t hesitate to sleep with an intoxicated Boaz at night. Ruth 3:7 tells us that Ruth ‘uncovered his feet’ and lay down beside him. That phrase is a Semitic euphemism for the male organ. The fourth woman, Bathsheba, was involved in adultery. You can find her story in 2 Samuel 11–12. The fifth woman was Mary. She was unmarried and pregnant. Her fiancé Joseph was bothered enough about this that he was ready to end the engagement. He changed his mind when he was assured in a dream that her pregnancy was God’s doing (Matthew 1: 18–25). All five women are the main characters in some pretty good stories. But frankly, those stories are a little embarrassing. If this were our family tree, we’d probably stop talking about great–great–great… grandmother for fear of embarrassing the family. At the very least, we’d skip over the details, and just hush the story up. But not Matthew. In fact, he highlights these five women in Jesus’ family tree. Why? It’s almost as if Matthew were saying
that God entered the world not just under the cloud of a scandal, but that God chooses to enter the world in the middle of small town gossip. If you’ve ever been the subject of that kind of gossip, you know exactly what that means. I think that Matthew means this as a hint about where and how God begins God’s work in the world. It’s the same kind of hint that Luke gives in his story about Jesus being born in a manger to peasant parents in some hick town in the Roman Empire. God comes to be with us—but not where we’d expect to find God. Not in churches. Not in world capitals. Not in superpower nations. God doesn’t start with the talented, the powerful, the rich or the famous. Rather, God begins with the poor, the immigrant, the homeless person on the street in the cold. God comes in the midst of moral scandal and gossip. God comes in the place of social shame and moral blame. Jesus is born to an unmarried pregnant teenager, born in a family which boasts of other women who have been shunned and blamed. This gives us a clue as to where we might look for God in our world—not in the churches. Not in official residences. Not in places of honour or beauty. God is found in places where the powerful and the respectable people least expect it—with the poor, among the homeless, loving the addicted, and lifting up those whom we push aside.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Candy Cane Lane: Dimmed but not diminished
I am writing this letter as a resident of Candy Cane Lane located in Cranbrook. On Sunday, December 1, I started out on my morning walk with my dogs and as I rounded the corner of my house something appeared out of order — the display of Christmas decorations that we put out annually was decidedly smaller, in fact there was a quantity of items gone from our yard. As I looked around the cul-de-sac I noticed that many of my neighbours were also missing things, or even worse, the decorations in their yards had been destroyed. I am deeply saddened by this act of idiocy. The residents of Candy Cane Lane
and in fact our entire community invest a lot of themselves to try to bring smiles by decorating our homes and properties to celebrate the season. To the curly haired driver and his unseen accomplice in the little dark-coloured truck piled high with stolen decorations, I hope you had fun destroying people’s hard work and creativity because after all that is what the decorations were all about, bringing joy and having fun. The police were called while this was happening at 3:30 a.m. and when they called to my neighbour approximately an hour later, after they had heard the description of the vehicle and driver they informed him the vehicle was “known” to them and they had been “watching” it throughout the evening. I understand that this crime of vandal-
ism/theft does not rank very high on the police priority but I think it should rank very high as a community priority. We need to let individuals who do these types of things be aware that we will not accept this revolting behaviour and we will do all within our power to educate, inform and support that this is not acceptable and consequences for actions actually do exist. Please, if anyone has information regarding this despicable act, contact your police. I would also like to let everyone know that Candy Cane Lane is alive and well. The lights are on albeit a little dimmer and the spirit of the season continues to thrive in our little cul-de-sac. Mark & Trish Wagner Cranbrook
Sherlock Holmes and the mysterious Dr. Bell: The Final Chapter
JANUS:
Then & Now
Jim Cameron
T
he dismal November day turned inevitably into night as Sherlock Holmes and I, comfortably ensconced in our London apartments at 221B Baker Street, considered the letter recently arrived. At first glance it appeared nothing more than queries directed towards the great detective from a fellow by the name of Jim Cameron, of Cranbrook, British Columbia. I reviewed the contents as Holmes paced about the sitting-room. “It would seem that Mr. Cameron has long been intrigued by the fact that the main thoroughfare in his home town is named Baker Street” “Quite so, Watson,” Holmes replied. “Most probably named after a bakery that once stood there,” I surmised. “Not in this case. The street is named for town founder Colonel James Baker.” “Indeed? I knew he travelled to the colonies but I had no idea he was responsible for an entire

“I am afraid I can tell nothing of either man. They are both a mystery.” town.” “He is, and according to Mr. Cameron it is a place of some substance. But there is more to the Baker story that concerns us” “Mr. Cameron attempts to connect you to his hometown but is there any connection between you and James Baker?” “If Mr. Cameron states the truth then, indeed, there is a connection to James Baker through his brother Valentine.” “Pasha Baker? I know
of him from my army days. He was somewhat of a legend among the lads.” “Then you are aware of the scandal that fell upon him? He was accused of accosting a lady in a private train carriage thereby destroying a very promising career and placing him in gaol for a time.” “Of course, but how does that signify?” “Mr. Cameron states that a gentleman by the name of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has written a story based, in
part, upon the scandalous events involving Valentine Baker. Further, it would appear that you and I figure largely in the tale, Watson.” “That is preposterous!” I exclaimed, reaching instinctively for my Webley service revolver, only to recall it was locked in the desk drawer. “No need for that.” said Holmes, noticing my reaction. “Apparently the characters in his story, “The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington
Plans,” reflect closely our actual selves. The tale concerns a gentleman by the name of Colonel Valentine Walter, his brother James and the murder of a man on a train. We, along with my brother Mycroft, discover Colonel Walter to be the murderer, whereupon he is sent to languish in prison.” “More than a coincidence, to be sure. It certainly ties us indirectly to the Baker family.” “It is not all, Watson. Mr. Cameron is searching for information regarding a Dr. J.H.M. Bell, apparently a relative of Dr. Joseph Bell. Do you recognize the name?” “It doesn’t ring a —” A curt glance from Holmes prevented me from continuing. “According to Cameron, there is some evidence that a Dr. J.H.M. Bell worked and resided in Cranbrook for a period of at least three years beginning in 1911, the year his supposed relative Dr. Joseph Bell died. He has had no luck tracing the connection between the two and has asked for our assistance. Apparently Dr. Joseph Bell was renowned for his use of deduction in criminal investigation and using methods very similar to mine did a great deal for modern forensics. As it is, I am afraid I can tell Mr. Cameron nothing of either man. They are both as much a mystery to me as the letter itself.” “I’m afraid I don’t take your meaning?”

Tom Higgins stepping down immediately as the CFL’s director of officiating

TORONTO, Ontario - The CFL is in need of a new director of officiating. The league announced Thursday that Tom Higgins is leaving that post effective immediately. “It’s our understanding Tom intends to seek a position on the competitive side of football, as a coach, general manager or administrator,” CFL commissioner Mark Cohon said in a statement. “We thank him for his efforts and wish him the very best in his future endeavours.” Higgins became the CFL’s director of officiating April 15 2008. Prior to joining the league’s head office, Higgins spent more than 25 years as a player, coach and personnel director. Twice he was named the CFL’s coach of the year and in ‘03 led the Edmonton Eskimos to a Grey Cup title as the club’s head coach. “Tom’s tenure as director of officiating has seen the introduction of many improvements and innovations from the debut of the Command Centre for video review to the introduction of position coaches to the addition of a co-ordinator for the development of amateur officials,” Cohon said.

Reliever Wilson agrees for $10M, one year with L.A. Dodgers, according to report A person with knowledge of the negotiations says free-agent reliever Brian Wilson has agreed to terms on a $10 million, one-year contract to stay with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The deal is pending a physical, the person said Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team had not made an announcement regarding the quirky, bearded pitcher. Wilson’s new contract includes an option for the 2015 season. Wilson, a right-hander and the 2010 majors saves leader while with San Francisco, joined the NL West champion Dodgers last season after a second Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery. He missed almost the entire 2012 season when the Giants won their second World Series in three years. Wilson went 2-1 with a 0.66 ERA in 18 outings this year for Los Angeles. Associated Press
Lindsey Vonn plans to enter World Cup races at Lake Louise LAKE LOUISE, Alta. - With her eyes wide and a big smile, Lindsey Vonn declared on Thursday that she is ready to race for the first time in 10 months. In an interview with The Associated Press and USA Today Sports, Vonn said she will return to competition in a World Cup downhill on Friday, the latest major step in her push to get ready for the Sochi Olympics. She has not raced since a high-speed crash at the world championships in February, when she tore two ligaments in her right knee and broke a bone in her lower leg. About 2 1/2 weeks ago, Vonn partially re-tore one of those reconstructed ligaments in a crash while training in Colorado. Associated Press

Dirk on last road trip through B.C. Ice defenceman relishing a final expedition through his home province

For Jagger Dirk, there’s no place like home. He may not be heading through Penticton, but it will be close enough. The Kootenay Ice are heading through the B.C. Division in a five-game road trip, and will swing through the Okanagan where the overage defenceman grew up. Due to scheduling issues, the Ice and B.C. Division teams alternate travel, as Koote-

nay heads on the road once every two years, while the opposition comes up to Cranbrook on alternating seasons. This will be his third and final trip of his WHL career going back through his stomping grounds. “Being 20 and the last time I’m able to go through that B.C. road trip, it’s going to mean a lot to me,” said Dirk, following a 5-1 loss to the Oil Kings last Saturday night at Western Financial Place, “because I started my WHL career in Vancouver five years ago, so it’s going to be bittersweet.” Entering his fifth season of his career, Dirk has developed to be a staple on the back end with an offensive touch, and, like his jersey number, is currently fifth in team scoring with three goals and 15 assists. Dirk began his ju-
nior career in the BCHL, playing with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, before being called up to the Ice full time, starting with his first career WHL game against the Giants on Dec. 2, 2009—a 6-2 win for Kootenay. “16 [years old], came in and played Vancouver where my dad played his Canucks career, it’s pretty special,” continued Dirk. “Hopefully we end it the right way, with a sweep, that’d be nice. We’re definitely capable of doing it if we play the right way.” So far, the road trip hasn’t gone favourably for the Ice. The team dropped a 3-0 decision to the Royals in Victoria, and despite putting in a better effort in Vancouver, the Giants stole a 3-2 victory on some solid goaltending. The Ice will take on the Kamloops Blazers
on Friday, which are dwelling in the basement of the Western Conference but that’s no excuse to take them lightly. It will be a reunion for the two teams that consummated a trade earlier in the season that sent former Ice players Collin Shirley, Matt Thomas and draft picks to Kamloops in exchange for Landon Cross and Tim Bozon. Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson is under no illusions that they have their work cut out for themselves. “It’s going to be some tough games still coming up, and it’d be nice to come out ahead on this trip with three wins, three opportunities to play,” he said, after Wednesday’s loss in Vancouver. “But I thought tonight’s performance was much better, it was just about capitalizing and we didn’t do that, but the
effort was there, for sure.” While Kamloops is struggling, Kelowna is on the opposite end of the spectrum, sitting in second place in the Western Conference and on top of the B.C. Division. With Cranbrook-born head coach Ryan Huska leading from the bench, the Rockets have only one loss in 14 games. Four Rockets players are property of NHL teams that were picked up in the 2013 draft. Both games should have some familiar faces in the stands cheering for Dirk. “I know lots of friends and family are going to come to the Ka m l o o p s - Ke l o w n a games, so I’m excited to see them,” said Dirk. “I haven’t seen them in a while, but I’ve obviously got to concentrate on the game when it’s game time.”

Jacobs, Jones earn final berths at Olympic curling trials C anadian Press
WINNIPEG - Reigning Canadian champion Brad Jacobs defeated veteran Kevin Martin 5-4 on Thursday to clinch a spot in Sunday’s final of the Canadian Olympic curling trials. The battle of the best took Jacobs’ record to 6-0, but Martin goes to 5-1 and earns a berth into Saturday afternoon’s semifinal. The other semifinalist won’t be determined until the men finish their seven-game Roar of the Rings round robin with a morning draw Friday at the MTS Centre. With Martin leading 4-3, Jacobs blanked the eighth and ninth ends to keep the hammer in the 10th. Both rinks had a pair of rocks inside the fourfoot, with a Jacobs’ stone almost dead centre in the button. Martin then put up a guard, forcing the 28-year-old Jacobs to do a run-back takeout and score two points. Martin, who won gold at the 2010 Olympics and silver in 2002, is looking for a fourth trip to the Games. The 47-year-old was leading Jacobs 3-1 after four ends, but Jacobs scored two in the sixth to tie it up. Martin looked like he was going to taken ad-
vantage of Jacobs’ misses in the seventh end and score two, but after he took out a Jacobs’ stone his own rock was just barely swept out of the rings for the 4-3 lead. A duel between the Winnipeg rinks skipped by Jeff Stoughton and Mike McEwen ended with McEwen defeating the veteran 9-6. Stoughton, who dropped to 2-4, was given a standing ovation. McEwen sits at 3-3. Before competing in his fifth trials, Stoughton said it’ll be his last attempt to go to the Olympics. McEwen jumped to a 5-1 lead after the third end when he scored four against the two-
time world champion, but Stoughton stole two in the fifth to close the gap 5-4. McEwen stretched the lead to 9-5 after a draw for three in the eighth end. Winless Kevin Koe of Calgary drew to the button to claim his first victory of the competition with a 7-6 decision over veteran Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ont. (2-4). John Morris, who curls out of Kelowna, B.C., improved to 4-2 with a 7-6 win over John Epping of Toronto (1-5). Friday’s action features games between Martin and Morris, Stoughton and Howard, McEwen versus Koe and Epping against Jacobs.
Rachel Homan didn’t care how she got a spot into the Canadian curling trials semifinal, it just mattered that her rink got one. The defending Canadian champion defeated Stefanie Lawton of Saskatoon 6-5 in the final game of the seven-game round robin to finish 4-3, but Winnipeg’s Chelsea Carey and Ontario’s Sherry Middaugh also sported the same mark. Homan got bumped to the semi, though, because her Ottawa rink fared better than Carey and Middaugh’s teams on rankings based on draws to the button before games throughout the week. “It wasn’t import-
ant,” Homan said of avoiding a tie-breaker. “It’s nice to be able to get second place and go into the semi. Either way we had a chance and that’s all we needed.” Carey and Middaugh will play their tie-breaker Friday at 1:30 p.m. (CT), with the winner taking on Homan later that night at 6:30. Winnipeg veteran skip Jennifer Jones already earned a bye into Saturday night’s final (6:30 p.m. CT) and will watch her competitors battle it out. Jones, 39, defeated Edmonton’s Heather Nedohin 6-5 to finish her round robin at 6-1, while Nedohin ended with a 3-4 mark.
Curling to apply for mixed doubles in Olympics Ste ve Dougl as Associated Press
Curling officials will apply to add mixed doubles to the Olympic program in time for the Pyeongchang Games in South Korea in 2018. Since returning to the Olympics in 1998, two curling events have been contested at each games - the men’s and women’s competitions. The World Curling Federation made a tentative bid in 2005 to include mixed doubles on the Olympic program for the 2010 Vancouver Games, but it was rejected because the discipline
hadn’t spread globally. However, WCF president Kate Caithness said “mixed doubles is part of our sport that has taken off around the world,” with the governing body spending the last eight years developing the spread to meet the technical requirements for Olympic admission. The application will be made after next year’s Sochi Games and decision will be reached by the IOC in 2015. If it is accepted, mixed doubles would be a 16team competition. “It would allow other countries who wouldn’t perhaps have
the chance of going to the Olympics with a full men’s team and full women’s team to take part in the Olympics,” Caithness told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. “We have mixed doubles in world championships so we have done our homework. Hopefully it will appeal to the IOC.” Caithness said the discipline would fit “in the same venue, in the same timeframe and with the same officials” as the men’s and women’s events. Hungary is the current world champion in mixed doubles.
Jamie Benn playing his way onto men’s Olympic roster Stephen Whyno Canadian Press
TORONTO - Jamie Benn can’t always get what he wants. Over the summer Benn wanted to be invited to Team Canada’s Olympic orientation camp and named captain of the Dallas Stars. Hockey Canada didn’t put him on the list but Benn did become the NHL’s third-youngest captain. Funny thing is, those parallel events have combined to make Benn something of a force this season and a legitimate candidate to represent Canada in Sochi. That spark started with being snubbed from camp. “He really is playing like a possessed player,” Stars coach and Team Canada assistant Lindy Ruff said Thursday. “He’s done some great things for our team.
“He’s led our team in a lot of categories. There’s been nights where we needed big plays and big goals, there’s been nights where we needed physical play and he’s really supplied almost everything.” Benn has seven goals and 18 assists in his first 26 games, second only to Chris Kunitz of the Pittsburgh Penguins among Canadian-born left-wingers. The 24-year-old was a centre earlier in his career with the Stars, but the off-season acquisition of Tyler Seguin from the Boston Bruins allowed Benn to move back to his more natural position. “I’m comfortable in both spots, but it’s pretty nice going back to left wing,” Benn said. “It’s where I played almost my whole life. “Obviously to have Tyler in the middle at
his regular position, we’re feeding off each other pretty well.” That move could also help Benn make Team Canada, which is stacked at centre with Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, John Tavares, Eric Staal and many others. “I mean it was going to be tough to beat out Crosby, I think, at centre,” Benn said, smiling. “I guess I’ll go back to left wing. “I think there’s a lot of great centres in this league that are going to have to play different positions on that team. I guess it’s a little bit of an advantage to play your normal position on wing.” Benn also has the advantage of being coached by a member of Mike Babcock’s Olympic staff. Ruff “sees the good and the bad and what goes on during
the year,” Benn said, while the rest of Canada’s management staff has remained handsoff. But Benn has been in the spotlight since he said he wanted to shove it in Team Canada’s face for not making him one of the 47 players invited to Calgary for camp. Babcock said back in August he wanted players who weren’t invited to get the message. “I read or hear, ‘Oh this guy feels snubbed.’ So what? Do something about it,” Babcock said. “The great thing about life is you get to control what happens to you the majority of the time. Do something about it if you’re not here.” Benn has. He conceded being “a little disappointed” over the summer but hasn’t shied away from calling it a source of motivation.
“Whenever you can have a chance to represent your country in anything it’s obviously pretty special,” he said. “I’m just obviously focusing on the Stars and what I have to do to help this team win, but I definitely want to make them have a hard decision in choosing the team this year.” It’s a hard decision because there are so many players in Benn’s spot on the borderline between Sochi and a two-week vacation while the Olympics are going on. “You’ve got to let your playing do your speaking in these situations, and I think he’s gone into some tough buildings and played pretty well for us,” Ruff said. “I think any player that’s in that bubble category, all they can do is put numbers up and play well.”

Redblacks hire Calgary defensive co-ordinator Campbell as head coach
The Ottawa Redblacks have found their man. According to a CFL source requesting anonymity, the Redblacks have chosen Calgary Stampeders defensive co-ordinator Rick Campbell as their first head coach. They’re expected to make it official Friday morning at a news conference. Ottawa is scheduled to return to the CFL in 2014. Campbell is a 15-year CFL coaching veteran but the Ottawa appointment would be his first as a head coach. Campbell is the third CFL head coach to be hired this off-season behind Edmonton’s Chris Jones and Winnipeg’s Mike O’Shea. All three are first-time CFL head coaches. Campbell is the son of legendary Edmonton Eskimos head coach and executive Hugh Campbell and has spent the last two years as Calgary’s defensive co-ordinator. This past season, Calgary recorded a CFL-best 63 sacks en route to posting a league-best 14-4 record. But the Stampeders lost 35-13 to eventual Grey Cup-champion Saskatchewan in the West Division final. Campbell had been mentioned as a leading candidate for Edmonton’s head-coaching job, which went to Jones. Campbell succeeded Jones as Calgary’s defensive co-ordinator in 2012 when Jones left to join the Toronto Argonauts. Canadian Press

Changes proposed to Jaffray post office Tamar a Hynd Fernie Free Press
Canada Post has recently started consultation with their union in regards to potentially changing the hours at the Jaffray Post Office. Some residents are concerned there will be cuts. It is no secret that Canadians, regardless of where they live, are using the post office differently than they use to. More and more use digital alternative to pay their bills, and receive cheques. This has impacted Canada Post tremendously between 2006 and 2012; Canadians sent one billion less letters in the mail. In the past quarter alone, another 73 million less letters compared to the same time last year. The impact of fewer letters has been on Canada Post’s bottom line. In the third quarter, Canada Post will be posting a significant financial loss in 2013. According to Anick Losier, Canada Post media relations, the Jaffray Post Office is proposing to change its hours to correspond to traffic patterns when people use the post office most, as well as enabling cost savings.
“The bottom line, Canada Post’s mandate is to ensure our revenues pay for our operations (e.g. no taxpayer funds pay for Canada Post’s operations - and have not for almost 20 years) and continue playing a relevant role in Canadians lives as they change how they use us,” said Losier. In the proposed hour changes, the post office would be closed on Saturday, when it is used very little, but extend some hours during weekdays like Friday until 6 pm. They would open earlier at 8 am compared to 9 am but the post office would be closed between 10:15 am and 2 pm. “No one is losing their job; our employees have job security,” said Losier. “We recently had a retirement and will be able to make any reductions by attrition.” No decision has been made yet. “We need to find ways to make the post office (and the whole network) viable for the long term,” said Losier. “This is why we are proposing to change hours of operations in order to fit people’s busy schedules and changing habits.”

Ice, EKFH team up again for Starlite Donna Grainger
It’s been an annual Kootenay Ice tradition to “Shoot for the Star” since the Starlite Campaign began. Since then the Ice organization and some of its well-known alumni players — such as Matt Fraser, Drew Czerwonka, Jesse Ismond, Max Reinhart, Brayden McNabb, Cody Eakin, James Martin and Kevin King — took an interest in fundraising for health care through East Kootenay Foundation for Health. The momentum added to the Starlite Campaign by the Ice through game night events, jersey donations and fan donations has reached almost the $40,000 mark. This year EKFH is taking a different approach to “Shoot for the Star” by honouring one of the stars on the ice — Number 23 Sam Reinhart. “We felt it was a fantastic opportunity for EKFH to say thanks to fans and the Ice for all their Starlite spirit over the years by honouring Sam Reinhart, one of their stars, who is expected to be a forerunner in the 2014 NHL drafts,” said Brian Clifford, EKFH chair. Although honouring the centre man, the Starlite Campaign is still focused on fundraising with a goal of lighting 17 stars and raising $150,000 for community health care initiatives. EKFH is encouraging fans to consider honouring Reinhart ($5,000 to light a star before the end of January) by making a donation to EKFH and
the Starlite Campaign through three different options. 1. Starting now until January 31, 2014 - Make a donation through www.ekfh.ca, click donate now, select Starlite – Show Your Star Appreciation – Sam Reinhart Kootenay Ice. 2. Starting now until January 31, 2014 – Make a donation at the Kootenay Ice or East Kootenay Foundation for Health offices. 3. December 27, 2013 – make a donation at the EKFH/Denham Ford “Shoot for the Truck” Event. At the February 1, 2014 home game, the East Kootenay Foundation for Health will show its appreciation to the Kootenay Ice and all the players (past and current) who have supported the foundation by offering the first 950 fans through the main entrance doors a Sam Reinhart bobble head (one per person per paid ticket). The Starlite Campaign and the East Kootenay Foundation for Health’s mission are to support and strengthen health care initiatives in the East Kootenay. The stars are waiting to shine, on and off the ice. To show your support for Sam and all the Ice players please consider a donation to the Starlite Campaign; www.ekfh.ca. EKFH is a leader in publically supported health care fund raising practicing responsible allocation of funds that ensures your money is going where it is needed most.

Cranbrook public produce garden
Garden’s second season a big success Submitted
Now approaching the end of 2013, the Cranbrook Food Action Committee is reflecting on a positive second growing season for the Cranbrook Public Produce Garden. This year saw a dramatic increase in participation at the Garden and further development of garden beds and infrastructure. To increase accessibility to the garden, particularly for seniors and those with physical disabilities, a four-foot wide compressed gravel walkway was built this fall, leading from the street into the Garden. As part of the same project, funded by the Government of Canada New Horizons for Seniors program, at the
end of the pathway is the newly constructed timberframe pergola that will make picnics and rest much more comfortable next year! A great number of people have made use of this communally managed Garden space, and the enthusiastic care ensured no plants went dry all season! Many individuals in the community have donated plants, seeds, tools, and time toward the development of this space. Their many years of combined experience in local gardening has helped guide us in the right direction. The involvement by such groups as the Kootenay East Youth Program, Cranbrook Boys and Girls Club, Stepping Out Program, Community
Submitted
A newly constructed timberframe pergola at the Cranbrook Public Produce Garden will make picnics and rest much more comfortable next year. Action Program for Children, Bellies to Babies, the Farmer’s Market Nutrition Coupon Program and school classes from Mount Baker High School,
among others, contributed greatly to the growth of a healthy harvest all season long. The care and time given to the Garden this year by so many differ-
ent people have helped create a beautiful and productive space. Now that the pergola and walkway are in place, the second half of the Garden can be trans-
formed to productive food growing space in the spring of 2014. As this converted space in Eric MacKinnon Park was historical farmland, the soil is so fertile there has hardly been the need to add amendments and the produce has been prolific. As the winter months of reflection descend upon us, gardeners turn to dream time and the Cranbrook Food Action Committee invites you to include the Public Produce Garden in that space to contribute desires and ideas for the future. The success of this space is measured by the number of people actively involved, learning, and eating from the Garden. When the weather starts warming in the
spring, keep your eyes and ears open for a celebration of our new pergola and planning sessions for the 2014 season. Thank you to everyone in the community for embracing this exciting project and the communal sense of ownership intrinsic in its success. It is a valuable community space for seniors, children, and every age in between. If you have questions or feedback, please contact Shannon at (250)427-7981, cranbrookfood@gmail.com or like the ‘Cranbrook Food Action Committee’ Facebook page to stay updated.

Energy Minister rejects plea for hydro rate deal from school trustees Canadian Press
VICTORIA — Energy Minister Bill Bennett has turned down a request from the British Columbia School Trustees Association for a special deal or exemption from looming BC Hydro rate increases, which are forecast to rise by 40 per cent over the next decade. Bennett said Thursday that if he grants a special deal to school boards, taxpayers, businesses and industrial power users must make up the difference through even higher rates. A nine-per-cent increase is set to take effect next April — the first of five years of hikes that total more than 25 per cent.
The trustees association said the higher rate in April will increase total hydro rates at 1,600 public schools to $39.6 million from $35.5 million, likely sparking program cuts for students. “No, we won’t be granting school boards an exemption from the payment of their electricity bills,’’ Bennett said. “The nine per cent increase in the first year amounts to less than one-tenth of one per cent of the total budgets of school boards. Everybody else is going to have to manage it, including the government, and everyone else is doing their best to manage budgets from all different types of perspectives.’’
The
“We believe they can manage the impact of this rate increase,’’ he said. Trustees association president Teresa Rezansoff said the nine per cent increase means school boards will have to find an extra $4.1 million, and an estimated $29 million for increased hydro costs over the next five years. Hydro costs for more than 1,600 schools across the province already amount to $35.5 million a year. School boards get limited funding, and the rising utility costs will lead to additional staff losses and fewer student services, Rezansoff said.

A gift from the heart for breast cancer Submit ted
Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis is never easy and when treatment begins you sometimes just need that little something that can make the journey easier. The East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s oncology and surgical departments have been fortunate in receiving several little something’s for the journey with donations of heart pillows. The most recent pillows are handmade with love by Cranbrook resident Shirley Purdy who herself was recently diagnosed in August. Her surgery took place in September and Shirley is now on what she calls her chemo walk continuing her journey to becoming a survivor. Shirley decided to start sewing heart shape pillows for her and others to help ease the discomfort of breast surgery and swelling. These pillows, and ones also donated from Creston, are given out by the Operating Room or Oncology Unit to patients in need. Over and above the heart pillows, Shirley is hoping to encourage people to donate to the East Kootenay Foundation for Health’s Starlite Campaign earmarking funds for enhancements to the oncology unit. With a new Intensive Care Unit on slate, it is anticipated that both the oncology and pediatric units may see some upgrades as well. The Starlite Campaign shines a light on the health care needs in our region. An unrestricted gift can be allocated to fund the areas of greatest need and a restricted gift (i.e. oncology) is dedicated to the area of care that is important to you. All funds received by EKFH remain in the East Kootenay. If you wish to help light a path for others like Shirley doing their chemo walk please consider a gift today – donate at www.ekfh.ca.

Cold weather leads to higher demand for electricity Submitted
As the temperatures drop, BC Hydro is expecting an increase in the overall provincial electricity use. Electricity demand peaked at 9,102 megawatts, on Monday evening between 5 and 6 p.m. This compares to a peak of only 8,723 megawatts last Monday. Generally, BC Hydro sees the highest demand for electricity between 4 and 8 p.m. on weekday evenings – the time of day when people come home, turn up the heat, do their laundry, make dinner, switch on the TV, etc. BC Hydro expects demand to stay high in the evenings this week as the cold weather persists throughout the province and is expecting a peak of 9,500 to 10,000 megawatts this week. The highest peak demand on record was observed on Nov. 29, 2006, when consumption reached 10,113 megawatt, between 5 and 6 p.m.
British Columbians can take steps to reduce energy use to offset an increase in heating requirements. Easy ways British Columbians can save on their daily power use include: washing clothes in cold water, turning off the ‘heat dry’ function on the dishwasher and using a programmable thermostat to heat their house only when they are home. Most of the electricity generated and used in B.C. is produced by large facilities in the north and the southeast of the province. The GM Shrum generating station and the Peace Canyon generating station on the Peace River produce about one-third of the electricity generated in B.C. each year, and the Columbia River facilities – including Revelstoke, Mica and Seven Mile – produce about one-half. The electricity is distributed to cities and towns using 76,000 kilometres of distribution and transmission lines.

Life with a workaholic, and life with you Hi Wendy: My husband is a workaholic, and I thought it would be a good idea to book us a little holiday this month. I need to get away from everything and everyone and have a little alone time together for a change. When I told him about my surprise he did not seem the least bit interested. I was wondering if
you see this trip I planned for us as being a fun one? Will he co-operate and at least try to enjoy himself or will he just complain like he always does? We were supposed to go to our son’s for Christmas but everyone seems to be working, including, of course, you know who, and it’s just not in the cards for this year. Will my son be coming home anytime in the
New Year and if so can you tell me when? I’m also worried about my mom’s health. Can you tell me if she will be okay while we go away for a few days? My aunt and my sister will be coming home during the Christmas holidays and they were wondering if they could come and see you. I think my aunt would like to talk to her husband who

er, there are those type of workaholics who work themselves into oblivion because they don’t want to face life or the problems in their lives. Fortunately for you, your husband is not of that nature and neither am I; thank the dear Lord. I do see him liking the little getaway that you planned, but after about the third day you will start to notice that he will be getting a little annoying and start complaining. Fortunately, you made the right move with your plans because it’s not a long drive to get to your destination and by the time the fifth day rolls around you will be at home and glad he is going back to work. So enjoy the first three days and hold your breath for the last two days until you get home. Have a nice long bath after your trip and all will be well. I did a spec on your husband and he is not a nasty man nor is he a verbal abuser. He is strong willed and likes what he likes and tells you so, and you just sink your head in the sand like an ostrich and don’t listen to him. What I’m trying to say is you can still enjoy each other even though you like to do different things. For example: I don’t think your husband would get mad if you went away with your girlfriends for a few days when you need to get away. Your husband is quite independent and, like I said, knows who he is and what he likes. You, on the other hand, seem to be quite dependent on him and find yourself somewhat lost when he is not with you. Your learning lesson is that you can be with someone you care about deeply and still be independent and learn to do your “own thing,” if you know what I mean. So, to put it plainly give the guy a break — he is a good husband and provider like you said. He’s not a cheater and has a laidback personality.
You, on the other hand, have a highly stressful job and are quite hyper at times and need to let off some steam. This means you need to find something for yourself that gives you enjoyment and releases stress. It’s called being an individual and not losing your identity and still able to live with someone under the same roof in harmony. I think if you change your attitude about this situation with hubby you will enjoy his company a lot more. This also means when you do plan trips, cut the time down for him and all will be well. That’s called being considerate and knowing who you are married to and trying not to change them. I know I am being a bit blunt with you but when your husband tries to tell you what he wants, you dig your heels in and get a little belligerent and this makes him more anxious. We see your son and family coming home at the end of February of 2014; it’s the only time he and his wife can get off work, unfortunately. I asked my guides about your mom and they said she would be fine for the few days you are away. Yes, I will be working as usual during the holiday season and it would be fine if your sister and aunt would like to come and see us for a reading. It’s a wonderful time to channel over and talk to loved ones on the other side. So, tell them when they come to town to phone me and I will book them in. I am already getting calls from out of town for readings and this is not abnormal during the Christmas season. Wendy

The War on Democracy in Thailand
It
has gone quiet in Bangkok, as the people who have been trying to overthrow the government tidy up the debris that litters the city after the last two weeks of demonstrations. It’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s 86th birthday this week, and nobody wants to disrupt it with unseemly scenes of conflict. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra is taking an equally low-key approach. The Thai army has removed the barbed wire that sur-
rounded government offices, and protesters are wandering through the prime minister’s offices and picnicking on the lawns while she runs the affairs of state from some other location in the capital. But by next week the Civil Movement for Democracy will be back in action, and the final outcome is not clear. The main thing that distinguishes the Civil Movement for Democracy is its profound dislike for democracy. In the mass demonstrations that have shaken
Thailand since 24 November, its supporters have been trying to remove a prime minister who was elected only two years ago – and their goal is not another election. “We don’t want new elections because we will lose anyway,” one protester told Reuters. “We want (the prime minister’s family) to leave the country.” If they succeeded in driving Yingluck from power, they would skip the whole business of elections and hand the country over to an ap-
Sherlock Holmes and the mysterious Dr. Bell: Part II Continued from page 7 “I am just coming to grips with it, but apparently it all connects by way of Arthur Conan Doyle.” “The writer who based his detective story upon you?” “No, Watson. Rather the writer who based me upon Dr. Joseph Bell.” At this I was struck dumb. Holmes’ words seemed to make no sense and I supposed I had misunderstood. “What precisely are you saying, Holmes?” “I am saying, my friend, that I deduce from Mr. Cameron’s letter that I am a fictional character based upon a doctor who may or may not have had a relative who lived in the town of Cranbrook in the year 1911.” “It can’t be, Holmes. If you are a fictional character then I, as your colleague, would have to be ...” Words escaped me as the full import of the matter slowly came clear. I collapsed in the nearest chair. “How can you possibly believe this to be fact, Holmes?” “It is the date that the letter is written, among other things. See for yourself.” “But there was no date upon the letter.” “Not the letter Watson, the envelope.” Holmes passed me the same and I gasped involuntarily upon viewing the postmark. “Good Heavens, November 2013, nearly a century from now.”
“I have undertaken numerous scientific experiments and have determined that the paper, the ink, all is unknown to me. It is either produced by a hand much more clever than I, a feat I sincerely doubt, or it is,” Holmes paused, “exactly what it claims to be.” “But surely that is impossible.” “The impossible is often simply the unknown, as you well know.” “Are we to believe that our names will be known one hundred years from now? “Indeed. Mr. Cameron states that in his time

all and sundry know of the deeds of Sherlock Holmes and his colleague Dr. John Watson. Every library in the land holds accounts of our doings. Why, the tales are studied from university to the lowest scholastic levels, including – “Don’t say it, Holmes.” I pleaded. “Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary.” I could swear the great detective suppressed a smile as he turned towards his desk. “But come, there may be little we can do for Mr. Cameron but, fictional or otherwise, the world of crime awaits us.”

pointed “People’s Council” made up of “good men”. These good men would naturally agree with protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban that the majority of the Thai people are too ignorant and flighty to be trusted with the vote. “From a Western point of view, “democracy” is an elected government serving as the people’s representative,” he told The Guardian. “Unfortunately, elections in Thailand do not represent people’s (real) choices because their votes are bought.” They are “bought” not by bribes but by government spending on free health care and anti-poverty programmes. In most democracies this is seen as part of the normal political process, but Suthep and his supporters, who include a high proportion of the country’s professional and middle classes, especially in the capital, regard it as illegitimate. The current government has destroyed “the virtues and ethics of the people,” Suthep says, but with time and hard work the unelect-
Gwynne Dyer ed People’s Council could make them moral again and “put the country on the path to perfect democracy.” We can even imagine that the poor might eventually become enlightened enough to be trusted with the vote again. There is a conflict between the interests of the rich and the poor in most countries. In democracies it normally plays out in the electoral competition of rightand left-wing parties, and some compromise (always temporary and contentious) is arrived at via the ballot box. But in Thailand, the rich take to the streets. They do so because they always lose the elections. In five elections since 2001, the winner every time has
been Thaksin Shinawatra or somebody chosen by him. Thaksin is a man of humble origins who built the country’s largest mobile phone provider and then went into politics. He proved to be unbeatable. He set up programmes like village-managed micro-credit development funds and low-interest agricultural loans. He created a universal healthcare system and provided lowcost access to anti-HIV medications. Yet between 2001 and the coup that overthrew him in 2006, the GDP grew by 30 percent, public sector debt fell from 57 per cent of GDP to 41 per cent, and foreign exchange reserves doubled . He even managed to balance the budget. Income in the northeast, the poorest part of the country, rose by 41 percent. Poverty nationwide dropped from 21 percent to 11 percent, and the prevalence of HIV/AIDS declined. Thaksin even allowed the 2.3 million migrant workers in the country to register and qualify for health cover.
From the point of view of the opposition Democratic Party, all this was just “buying the people’s votes.” When Thaksin won the 2005 election with an increased majority, it conspired with the military to overthrow him. He was then tried on corruption charges, but fled the country before the inevitable verdict and has since lived in exile, mostly in Dubai. But his party, reformed and renamed, goes on winning every time there is an election. That’s why his 27-year-old sister is now the prime minister. She probably does do what he says most of the time, but there’s no crime in that: the voters who put her there were really voting for Thaksin. And if the current insurrection in Bangkok overthrows her, they will vote for whoever else represents Thaksin next time there is an election. The right in Thailand should really grow up and get over it. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I have been together for two years, and he moved in six months ago. “John” is 25 years older than I am. He has always been supportive and helpful, but now he is displaying passive-aggressive behavior. John was forced into retirement last year, and I think he somehow blames me. I work full time, take care of two teenage boys, cook dinner every night, do dishes and laundry, clean the bathrooms, buy the groceries and pay the bills. John sweeps and vacuums and does the yard work, which is a godsend because I have had shoulder issues that make these things difficult for me. But lately, John has been pushing all of my buttons. He throws the towel over the shower door even though there is a nearby towel rack. I know it’s a small thing, but it’s a daily nuisance, and he knows it bugs me. He also does not squeegee the shower after he uses it, and I’m the one who cleans it. And he leaves the toilet seat up -- but only when the toilet is dirty, which is his way of telling me it’s time to clean it. He leaves dishes in the sink instead of loading the dishwasher, even though I’ve asked him to at least leave them on the counter. When they are piled in the sink, I have no room to prepare dinner. I know these are tiny things, but they add up, especially when I’m working all day while he is watching TV. When he’s upset with me, he gives me the silent treatment, and often it takes me days to figure out why. I know John is depressed because of his retirement, but he is well situated, doesn’t have to pay any bills and gets home-cooked meals every day. I love him dearly, but I am going nuts walking on eggshells. What am I doing wrong? -- Massachusetts Dear Massachusetts: Nothing. You did not live with John before his retirement and don’t really know whether he was always like this. His age may also be a factor in that he might be less energetic and capable than he was a year ago. And depression could cause him to push you away in these subtle ways, feeling he doesn’t deserve you. Please talk to him. Tell him you love him, but that the current situation is making you worry your feelings aren’t reciprocated. Ask him to see his doctor about depression. Suggest he look into part-time jobs or activities that will keep him more active during the day. But if he makes no effort to address this, the situation is not likely to improve. Dear Annie: I recently missed my 10-year high school reunion. I found out it was held in August, and I was never invited because I am not on Facebook. When did social media get so big that people can’t pick up a phone or write a letter? -- Curious Dear Curious: Social media sites began springing up as early as the mid-90s. Facebook was founded in 2004, and there are now more than a billion users. Like it or not, people are more apt to use such a site for mass invitations rather than pick up a phone and make dozens of individual calls. Our readers have let us know that when you haven’t heard about an upcoming reunion, you should contact others and find out whether you are out of the loop. Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Too Good of a Cook,” whose grown children often visited for the weekend but never offered to help cook or contribute to the growing grocery bills. My mother had many siblings who visited from out of state. Her rule was, “You are guests for one day. After that you are living here.” So everyone helped out with the dishes, cooking, cutting grass, doing wash and whatever. -- J.F.

Springsteen ‘Born to Run’ manuscript SPCA removes more than 140 animals from sells for $197,000 at NYC auction ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — A handwritten, working lyric sheet for Bruce Springsteen’s 1975 hit “Born to Run’’ sold for $197,000 on Thursday at Sotheby’s. The document used to be in the collection of Springsteen’s former manager, Mike Appel, according to Sotheby’s. It did not reveal the identity of either the seller or the buyer, a person bidding by telephone. Most of the lines in this rough 1974 version, written in Long Branch, New Jersey, are apparently unpublished and unrecorded, but the manuscript does include “a nearly perfected chorus,’’ the auction house said. The title track of Springsteen’s 1975 album has revved up generations of fans — some of whom still refer to themselves as “Tramps,’’ like in the song. Springsteen is known to scrawl his songwriting stream-of-consciousness in notebooks. His thought process, written in blue ink on an 8 1/2-by-11 sheet of ruled notepaper, could trigger a spell-checker meltdown: “This town’ll rip the (out

available, with the present example being one of only two identified that include the most famous lines in the song,’’ Sotheby’s said. Springsteen’s website describes the “Born to Run’’ album as “a sheer epic fueled by tangible energy, the idealized notion of escape and the romance of youth.’’ His “Darkness on the Edge of Town’’ album came out three years after “Born to Run.’’ For much of that interlude, Springsteen was prevented from releasing music due to a lawsuit involving Appel. Material from the “Darkness’’ ses-
sions may have been influenced by the acrimonious fallout from their business breakup. “Darkness’’ was “noticeably sparer than ‘Born to Run,’’’ according to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website, which says Springsteen described the evolution as “a certain loss of innocence.’’ “If ‘Born to Run’ was epic cinema, ‘Darkness’ was brutal reality, its characters not dreaming of idealized escape as much as struggling against their circumstances,’’ notes Springsteen’s website. A lot of water has since ebbed and flowed under that bridge. In November 2009, Springsteen invited Appel and his son to fly with the E Street Band to their tour finale in Buffalo, New York, which featured “Greetings From Asbury Park, New Jersey,’’ an album Appel co-produced. At the show, Springsteen publicly acknowledged Appel’s contributions to his career. Springsteen told The Associated Press in 2010 that he and Appel were “very good friends.’’
New Brunswick home C ANADIAN PRESS
FREDERICTON — Charges are pending after the seizure of more than 140 animals from a home in Fredericton, N.B. on Tuesday. SPCA animal protection officer Olivia Justason says they included about 30 birds, some 58 cats, 21 dogs, six pot-belly pigs, chinchillas, gerbils and rabbits.
The SPCA say some animals are healthy, others required immediate medical care, none were put down and most have already been placed in foster homes. Hilary Howes of the New Brunswick SPCA says masks were needed to enter the house because of ammonia in the air from the animals’ urine.
Suitcase that fell onto highway miraculously returned to owner C ANADIAN PRESS
REGINA — A Regina woman who lost her suitcase on the highway is no longer singing the blues. Trina Owens says she reached out on social media and Kijiji after her suitcase fell off the back of the truck she
was in. The suitcase was full of Christmas presents she had just bought on a shopping trip to the U.S. Her online plea paid off — a woman contacted her and it was returned, battered but with all the presents inside and in good shape.
