Silt level in Idlewild Lake backing up Joseph Creek BARRY COULTER

A Cranbrook area resident whose property backs on to Idlewild Park is expressing serious concerns about the state of man-made Idlewild Lake, and the problems he says are being caused by the fact that the lake hasn’t been dredged in many years, something that is necessary for the health of the lake and the integrity of the surrounding land. Indeed, Idlewild Lake was designed to be dredged regularly, of silt build-up and a system to allow Joseph Creek to bypass the lake while dredging was undertaken was incorporated into the lake’s original design. However, Peter Kleindienst, who lives on the last private property where the creek goes into the lake, says the lake hasn’t been dredged for more than 20 years, and the resulting silt build-up has left the lake shallow and malodorous, and caused the creek to backup on Kleinsdienst’s property.

“The deepest part of the lake is only two feet,” Kleindienst said. “By only having two feet of water, there are virtually no fish left. Plus, the vegetation growth is so great, the plants grow so easily, that there’s a smell resulting from dying vegetation. Which is one reason they’re keeping the water level so high. Around the lake you can see the trees dying, because the trees are underwater.” The amount of sediment in the lake is slowing the streamflow, Kleindienst said, so instead of dropping sediment in the lake, it’s dropping the sediment in the portion of the creek that runs through Kleindienst’s property. “The creek bed on my property has risen one-and-a-half to two feet. Part of my field is under water, turning it into a swamp. The backside of a cottonwood grove on my property is underwater. A big wind could bring those trees down, onto my house.”

Panorama Mountain Village near Invermere is hosting World Cup racing this week, and more than 100 para-alpine athletes from 20 countries — including Kimberley’s Josh Dueck — will be trying jostling for a place on their nation’s Paralympic team. That’s something Dueck doesn’t have to worry about.

The silver medalist in slalom from Vancouver 2010 has already met the qualifying criteria for Canada’s Paralympic team and will be heading to Sochi next month. Dueck’s attitude has always been to strive for excellence while enjoying the mountains and he told the Bulletin before Christmas that he was beginning to find

again that real joy in skiing that took him to the podium in 2010. He also said he really feels he can medal again. That’s the goal. “With less than 50 days to go before #Sochi2014 I am once again enjoying being in a space of wonder and playfulness with my skiing,” he said in his blog. “My objectives for the journey ahead of

me can be measured in two ways, qualitative and quantitative. My priority is to go and have fun in Sochi and play with whatever the mountains and courses have to offer. I want to show the world how fun our sport is and the power of movement and momentum.

Silty situation: Idlewild Lake needs a dredge Continued from page 1 And a portion of the path by the lake is is under water. “The whole creek has created new channels behind the lake,” Kleindienst added. “It’s taken the topsoil off the top of the banks. Trees have fallen over.” Kleindienst said the problem has been noticeable for about three years, and that he’s been in communication with the city for about two. “Idlewild Lake was originally built by the City of Cranbrook to be dredged,” he said. “It has a rock base so a machine can be driven in there. It has a bypass system to divert the water while they dredge. No one knows if it’s still operable. But in this day and age there are ways. The creek can be diverted, for example, using a pump.” Kleindienst has expressed grave concerns about the lack of movement on the issue. Kleindienst said he

has gone to the City several times. “They’ve been at my place, they’ve had meetings about Idlewild Lake, we’ve met at Idlewild Lake. They totally agree. We have to dredge the lake. It’s a problem. But I always get the same answer. There’s a budget problem. I’m not arguing with that. But I think lately the spending priorities are misplaced. “There are a lot of ways of getting funding so that the City doesn’t have to bear the brunt of the cost,” Kleindienst said. “But application has to be made for that. As far as I know, nobody has made that application.” The City of Cranbrook is looking at the issue, and seeing how it can balance the work needed on the lake and the dam at the lake’s southern end with its numerous funding infrastructure priorities. “Council is aware of the problem and staff has been meeting with

Silt buildup in Idlewild Lake has caused Joseph Creek to overflow its banks and carve new channels in the area where it enters the lake. The section of the creek pictured above is on Peter Kleindienst’s property. Mr. Kleindienst to discuss possible solutions,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski. “The dam that creates

Council considers removal bylaw after heavy snow and ice year Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Council recently received two letters regarding snow and ice clearing in Cranbrook. One of the letters dealt specifically with the area of Willowbrook Drive across from the Quad Ball Park. The sidewalk that runs in front of Willowbrook Estates. Mayor Wayne Stetski asked staff to bring back a report from one year ago that highlights the options that are in place in other communities for snow and ice removal. “This is a very difficult year, of course, for sidewalks and ice,” Stetski said at Monday night’s regular Council meeting. “I’ve never seen anything like it in all the years I’ve lived here. But it does raise the question again of whether or not Council wants to require all property owners to be responsible for clearing

the sidewalk in front of their residences or part of their property or not.” The second letter asked council to consider exactly that.

“It all sounds wonderful, but once you start you better be prepared to do the whole town, because everybody is a taxpayer.” Coun. Angus Davis Coun. Gerry Warner was not happy with the amount of ice on the sidewalk in front of Willow Brook Estates. “It’s a long sidewalk, because Willowbrook Estates is a big place,” he said, adding that parts were as bad today as they were in November for ice. Warner thought

the city should just go ahead and clear the ice then present Willowbrook with a bill. “I think in this case the paramount concern is the safety of people trying to use that sidewalk. You go right next door and see Golden Life, which is an even bigger complex and that sidewalk is cleaned right after it snows.” Coun. Denise Pallesen warned that she had brought up a similar issue five years ago. “Once you start to maintain that, you always have to continue to maintain that because there is that expectation,” Pallesen said, adding it would be cost prohibitive in both dollars and personnel-hours. Coun. Angus Davis agreed. “It all sounds wonderful, but once you start you better be prepared to do the whole town,

because everybody is a taxpayer,” Davis said. “We have sidewalks that aren’t being plowed, all sorts of things that need to be done.” Coun. Warner later brought up his motion in

his council report to clear the ice and then present the bill to Willowbrook Estates. The rest of council worried that it would set too much of a precedent and so it ultimately failed.

CHRISTMAS TREE DISPOSAL The Regional District of East Kootenay Transfer Station is the designated area for disposal of Christmas trees. All residents are encouraged to have their discarded trees delivered to this area. City trucks will make one pass through each neighbourhood on or after January 13, 2014 to pick up any remaining trees. If you are unable to dispose of your own tree, please leave it at your garbage collection location in a manner that will not conflict with snow removal equipment. OPERATIONS SERVICES DEPARTMENT

priorities that need attention.” Kleindienst said an official with the Ministry of Environment told him he would help fast track the paperwork. “But the City has to

make the initial application. It’s the same thing to get permission to do it. They have to get permission from all the agencies — Fish and Wildlife, the Water Branch, etc. That hasn’t been done either over the past three years.” If the dredging to be accomplished this year, Kleindienst said, the City would have to set things in motion right away. “The only window you have is the last two weeks of August, really,” he said. “Everything’s got to be in place by then.” Stetski said the City would indeed need funding assistance from the Federal and/or Provincial governments, “but so far there are no grant applications open for us to apply on. “Where this will end up on our 2014 Budget Priorities will be determined during our Council Budget meetings which are all open to the public.” Stetski said the next two meetings are on January 15 and 28 from 4 p.m. To 8 p.m. and are held in the City Hall Council Chambers.”

A Costa Rican family with two young disabled girls will find themselves with housing that befits their needs, thanks to the efforts of local residents who are heading to the Central American country on a mission. Members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church congregations in Cranbrook and Creston are going to Costa Rica at the end of this month to work on a home just outside the town of Jaco. Tammy Molina, whose husband Josue Molina is Pastor of the Cranbrook and Creston churches, said the idea of a Costa Rica mission has been percolating since they moved to Cranbrook a couple of years ago. Josue Molina lived in Costa Rica for several years, so returning there on a mission made sense. Some 29 people are going, from Cranbrook and Creston and a few from Victoria, Molina said. “We were looking for a single parent, or needy family, that we could help out,” she said. “We contacted the mayor’s office of Jaco (on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica), who told us about a family who lived outside of town. The family had put in a request for funds to redo their home because they have two disabled daughters — ages six and seven. But those funds weren’t available from the town.” So the group is able to help. Once in Costa Rica, the Canadians will be

They will also be working on a new roof and repairing the sidewalk around the home. If funding allows, Molina said, they work on new glass for windows, some kitchen improvements, and a few beautification measures. The group will also be hosting a basketball camp for the community, run by one of the mission members who played on Canada’s Olympic Basketball team — Gerald Kazanowski. The group is leaving January 31 and returning

February 10. “We are working with local contacts who are getting supplies ready for our arrival,” Molina said. “It’s been quite a lot of work for us. We’re not going through a travel agency, we’ve been setting things up on our own. “But the group is excited, and looking forward to going and blessing people’s lives,” she said. The group is also looking for further sponsors, or donations who help support the mission. Anyone wishing to contribute to the project, contact Pastor Molina at 250-464-5848.

Dueck in World Cup this week Continued from page 1 “From a quantitative perspective I would love to do well, hear the Canadian anthem and see our flag raised after a successful day on the race track. I’d love to be able to share this with all my friends and family that believe in the power of sport and have supported my journey as a skier.” Dueck is very excited to be in the Kootenays for a World Cup event this week (racing begins on January 10). His season began in southern-hemisphere races earlier last fall. “I’m really excited to race,” said Dueck. “In New Zealand we were at a different stage of prep. I wasn’t feeling as ready as I am now for the season. I

feel like I’m in a lot better position. I’m really looking forward to racing. “Growing up in the Kootenays, I’ve always had a synergy with the snow and the conditions and the valley, and I think the track is going to be suited to those of us who like to go fast.” He also looks forward to racing a downhill, a speed event that is not included in every set of races. He won the Downhill at the World Championships in 2009. The races will be run on a brandnew downhill track of international quality that has been built in advance of the 2015 IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships, which will also be held in Panorama.

City of Cranbrook ditching traffic sensors for cameras Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

After receiving reports that traffic signals at intersections in the city were not working in the recent weather conditions, Cranbrook Public Works will be replacing the sensors with traffic cameras. CAO Wayne Staudt said that when Public Works staff investigated they found that the the pavement sensors were not being activated as drivers could not see the lane markings and so would sometimes miss driving onto the sensor. “That technology is failing us, especially in winter conditions,” Staudt said. He also noted that some of the sensors have failed outright. Replacement of those was estimated at $25,000. Instead of replacing the sensors, the city ordered new traffic cameras. Staudt said they are the latest technology and are coming at a lower cost than replacing the failed sensors. “Cameras perform their role even when vehicles do not stop in the

prescribed lanes, thereby, increasing their functionality over traffic sensors,” Staudt said. He added that although the cameras have been received, city staff have not been able to install them at this time because the ducts where the wiring is to be installed are blocked with ice. “Unfortunately we haven’t got those cameras hooked up right now because it was in the winter months that we started to implement those cameras,” he said. “Hopefully in a year from now we’ll have cameras in most of those areas.” He anticipates the first cameras will be installed in the spring. Coun. Denise Pallesen asked whether the technology would be put in at 2nd Street and 14th Avenue, since she said on a motorcycle the sensor isn’t triggered. She said that was the only one that she had found to be an issue in the summer months. He also said the city will be using the technology for all traffic signals in the future.

Cranbrook advises on safety of lake ice Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Back in December, Coun. Gerry Warner asked whether the city could advise the public on whether the ice on Idlewild and Elizabeth Lake is safe to skate on or not. CAO Wayne Staudt told council at the Monday, Jan. 6 meeting that the City of Cranbrook currently does have a process in place to inform the public about the ice conditions. Staudt said it is done through the Communications Office, Leisure Services and Public Works. “Once the weather begins to get cold enough in the late fall, the City advises the public through advertisements, the local media and the city website with the attached ad,” Staudt wrote in his report. The mentioned ad shows a

cartoonish figure falling through the ice with the text “THIN ICE” below. Staudt said the ice thickness is monitored by public works on an ongoing basis. Once the ice is deemed thick enough to be safe for the public to use, the Communications Office and Leisure Services department are advised and in turn the public is advised. “So to some degree you rely on the media to get the message out,” said Coun. Gerry Warner. Staudt said the city also puts the information on the city website. He said staff Public Works keep those at Leisure Services updated with the latest ice information throughout the winter months. To find out conditions you can call Leisure Services at 250-489-0220.

Thieves break into mail boxes between Fernie and Hosmer Tamar a Hynd The Free Press

The Elk Valley RCMP received several calls about mail boxes being broken into between West Fernie and Hosmer last week. “The culprits were obviously mobile (driving),” said RCMP Sgt. Will Thien. “We have no suspect at this time but the investigation is

ongoing.” Thieves pried open mailboxes in at least three different super box locations. The events were reported to the RCMP on December 27 so the incidents could have happened over the holidays or leading up to it. Mail theft is a federal offence and is not something the Elk Val-

ley RCMP see very often. Mail thieves generally are looking for gift cards, cheques and cash that are commonly sent during the holiday season. The RCMP are asking for the public’s help. If anyone has any information, please contact them at 250425-6233. Tips may be made anonymously.

One oar not in the water ”If we had less statesmanship, we would get along with fewer battleships.” Mark Twain

y mother’s younger brother’s name was Charlie and he ran away in order to go to sea when he was still only sixteen years old. This was, my father used to dare to josh, to get away from his sister, but I don’t think that was true. He was extremely fond of my Mum. Charlie was British to the core, and the sea was therefore his destiny, as it was to Drake, Cook, Vancouver and Nelson. In the Royal Navy, Charlie invariably sailed ‘before the mast’ – a tough thing to do with so few masts around these days on battleships. As an ordinary seaman, he had little taste, he told me, for the responsibilities of steering whacking, great big ships, organizing things on board, aiming guns and sorting out the mess when the ship got sunk. Charlie swam and rowed ashore a few times during the second Great War, once at the island of Malta, another time off Venezuela and once at Weston-supermer, not far from his home port of Portsmouth. He wasn’t impressed with Weston, he told me, after threatening to part my unruly hair with a bo’le; Charlie couldn’t

pronounce his ‘ts’. He was was a Cockney, fru and fru. Although he was extremely stoic about things, my uncle reckoned that the German U-boats had it in for him and promptly sank any ship they thought he might be on, and so he had been thinking seriously about the future – if he was to have one – and had come to the conclusion that, in the second part of his life, he might get a job and a wife and settle down but, assuredly, as far from the Peter sea as he could possibly Warland get. Enough was enough. So the war ground to a halt and Charlie ‘pulled the plug’ as he put it, was patted nicely on the head by his commanding officer and thanked for his sturdy seamanship in swimming and rowing ashore, then demobilized. Apparently, Uncle Charlie sat around Portsmouth for a few days and then took a train to London where he came to visit his sister, my mother. For a few days he sat around the place and told my sister and me stirring tales of the sea – and of being sunk – then maundered on about getting a job, a wife, and a place to live. My father once asked Charlie why he didn’t marry one of those girls that all sailors have in every port, but Charlie merely winked at me and explained that

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

girls in ports live precariously near the ocean, and he’d had enough of that nonsense. My father, I think, took Charlie’s tales with a pinch of salt. He had served in the Royal Flying Corps as a pilot but didn’t become a corpse or even crash into the sea and have to swim ashore like his brother–in-law because the war ground to a halt in time. One day, Charlie purchased an oar from a second-hand shop then, with his kit bag repacked, he slung that oar over his shoulder and, with a glint in his eye, set off inland. He was going to haul that oar as far as he could until someone asked him what it was. Then, he assured us, he’d settle down etc etc. We did get a card from Charlie from time to time but the trouble is: you can’t get far enough inland in England to find someone who doesn’t recognize an oar so Charlie – by plane, apparently – went to Africa where he ended up wifeless by Lake Victoria. Mum also heard from him once from some unpronounceable place in Asia near Lake Baikal, but still no mention of nuptials nor of jobs. The last communication Mum received from her wayward brother was postmarked Peru. He was high in the Andes, as far from the sea as he could climb, near a lake called Titicaca. I often wondered if they’d recognize an oar up there.

Large number of participants turn out What’s Up? for Cranbrook Christmas Bird Count KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

UPCOMING

Daryl C alder

‘Unusual’ is a good word to describe the 114th Annual Christmas Bird Count as it occurred in Cranbrook on the Saturday following Christmas Day. We had an unusually large number of participants, both field and feeder counters. The weather was unusually good for counting, with clear skies, mild temperatures and light winds. However, the species count was below average partly due to the unusual absence of several common species. About 20 people divided themselves into four groups and got down to business of using their eyes and ears to detect birds in each of the four quadrants of our 14 kilometre radius circle. Inexperienced birders welcomed the opportunity to partner with more knowledgeable naturalists, learning useful skills such as keeping quiet and focussing the binoculars quickly. On some occasions only one bird of a particular species was detected, heightening the need to observe as many characteristics before the bird disappeared. We looked at the perching silhouette, beak size and shape, and wing and tail configuration even if we couldn’t discern color or pattern of plumage. In flight, we noted the frequency of wingbeats, whether steady or intermittent, strong or weak, hovering, dipping or soaring. The type of habitat also provided strong clues; wetland or open forest, dense shrubbery or open grassland and of course ‘shopping cart corrals at superstore’ for the English Sparrow. Occasionally, identification is a no-brainer in the case of a Ruffed Grouse walking in slow motion, an American Robin catching the sun or Bald Eagles overhead.

Rough-legged Hawk

Absent from our list were the Pine Grosbeaks, Common Redpolls and Pine Siskins. It’s possible that the lack of heavy snow in the mid-elevations has not forced some birds into the lower elevations. Snow-encrusted trees make it more difficult for birds to access conifer cones and shelter. Also, the relative lack of extreme cold, harsh weather has not caused some birds to migrate as far south into our area as usual. Several regular ‘hot spots’ continued to provide an interesting selection of birds. Slaterville has a good variety of habitats with open water in lower Hospital Creek, diverse tree species and shrubbery (Shrike), and numerous active feeders. Green Bay also has ‘fish bearing’ open water (Pied-billed Grebe) and proximity to

several forest types as does the vicinity of the St. Eugene Mission (American Dipper). Urban areas have some good feeders and varied vegetation (Bohemian Waxwing). Of course, a visit to the primary treatment lagoons and nearby Joseph Creek ponds yielded Greenwinged Teal, Goldeneye, Kingfisher and Song Sparrow. One highlight of the day occurred as we began counting at Elizabeth Lake. A Rough-legged Hawk circled and hovered conveniently off to the east. A hawk of the north, these large birds breed in northern tundra and taiga regions around the northern hemisphere. Both dark and light forms are common, with many birds intermediate between the extremes. In flight, one good field clue is the dark marks at the ‘wrists’ of the long, broad wings. The name ‘Rough-legged’ refers to the feathered legs. The Ferruginous Hawk and Golden Eagle are the only other North American Hawks to have legs feathered all the way to the toes. These birds prefer open coniferous forests, tundra and generally barren country, breeding on cliffs or in trees. They winter also in grasslands and open cultivated areas of the East Kootenay where they eat small mammals and some birds. Roughlegged hawks will hunt from an elevated perch, or will hover frequently if in flight. There is no evidence of any change in North American breeding populations. As can be seen from the list, the bird count is a useful exercise; we are fortunate to have a wide range of species frequenting our area. Thank you to all participants; we look forward to seeing you throughout the year.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week January 5 – 11 Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1900 A Shame and a Disgrace … The citizens of Cranbrook have reached the limit in school matters. They have pleaded and begged for relief, but to no avail. At the present time there are 125 children anxious to attend school, and their parents, permanent citizens of the town, are distracted over the lack of school facilities. One schoolroom and one teacher for 125 pupils. It is a shame and a disgrace. Crowding the room to the utmost, and giving the teacher 60 pupils to handle, which is too many for anyone, there are still 50 to 60 children unable to enjoy the advantages of a school. An indignation meeting was held last night, and many citizens expressed themselves. Telegrams were sent to Premier Semlin and Col. Baker, demanding immediate relief. Another meeting will be held at Odd Fellows Hall this evening to consider the replies. Parents and citizens, you are all interested in having proper school facilities. Turn out tonight. Keep the pot boiling. 1901 They Have Reached the Limit … We

have a few subscribers who have not paid their subscriptions for two or three years. If we published their names they would be highly incensed, yet they think nothing of allowing us to furnish them the paper at our expense. Next month if some of our readers fail to get the paper, they may understand that they have reached the limit and the coin must be forthcoming. Unfortunately, we have to pay our debts. That is what keeps us poor. A Runaway Train … Engineer Brock and Fireman Warnock got up against it Sunday while coming down the grade from the Fernie mine. The braker refused to work and the train got beyond control. As a result the train began turning reverse curves at a rate that prompted Brock and Warnock to jump for safety. They did so, and Warnock escaped uninjured but Brock was unlucky as usual and got pounded up badly but broke no bones. The train held the track and stopped at the foot of the grade. Fine Residences … There has been a great change in the residences built during the past year. The day of the shack in Cranbrook is past and now the town boasts of residences as handsome as can be found in any city in British Columbia. Among some of the most attractive built during the past

year are the new C. P. R house for the divisional superintendent, that cost $6000; A. Leitch has a handsome home that overlooks the town from commanding eminence west of town; on Baker Hill there are the modern homes of M. Mclnnes, D. Murphy, J. H. Castlake, C. Magee, Presbyterian Manse, G, W. Patmore, E. E. Orchard, F. E Simpson, F. Clapp, W. S. Keay, Sydney, Arnold and Mrs. John R. Costigan. In the central part of town are the new residences of Rev. D. Holford, Mrs, O’Dell, James Greer, W. F. Tate, Methodist parsonage and Robinson & McKenzie. New Homes … There will be between 25 and 50 new residences built in Cranbrook before the first of next July, and it is quite probable that the number will reach 75. Runaways Galore … L. B. Van Decar’s team ran away last Friday scattering a cord of wood along the way; J. Patton’s delivery horse “got gay” yesterday afternoon and took a run for his health, completely demolishing the rig; James Ryan’s team furnished a little excitement last Monday by giving an exhibition runaway. They scattered the wagon from the freight shed to Baker hill, and yet did no material damage.

Sochi selection ‘Canes drop Ice 5-4 in Lethbridge the toughest job in hockey T

Ed Willis

here might be easier jobs — Rob Ford’s image consultant pops to mind — but to understand the difficulty of Steve Yzerman’s position, consider his relationship with Marty St. Louis. In Yzerman’s day job, he’s the general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning. St. Louis, as it happens, is the resident icon on this team. This season, St. Louis has also kept the surprising Bolts together with his scoring and his leadership in Steven Stamkos’s absence. On Monday night, Yzerman had to tell St. Louis he wasn’t good enough to make the Canadian Olympic team. This is the second time in four years he’s had to deliver this cheery bit of news to the player he owes so much. “Very hard,” is how Yzerman described that conversation. And this is even harder. For Yzerman, it doesn’t end there. “Claude Giroux, Joe Thornton (two other stars who were left off Team Canada for Sochi) ... I can go on and on,” said the general manager of the Canadian men’s Olympic team. “I’m going to have to walk into rinks and see these players as well, and I don’t feel good about not putting any of them on the team. “This is pro sports. These are difficult decisions. There’s not much I can say. I can’t apologize.” But there is good news. Now, under the relentless scrutiny of 30 million unpaid consultants, the real fun starts. Tuesday, in a deepfreeze of a rink warmed only by the hot air of COC president Marcel Aubut, Yzerman, the rest of the Canadian management consortium and head coach Mike Babcock unveiled the team which will become a national obsession when the Olympic men’s hockey tournament begins in just over a month. Four years ago,

the same braintrust and the same coach delivered gold on home and native land, capping a delirious two-week celebration which still echoes in our city and remains a watershed moment in our country. But that was also four years ago. The Canadian hockey fan, as you must know, isn’t blessed with a long memory or a deep sense of perspective. No, this time around there is the usual and predictable assortment of surprise selections and glaring omissions. On the plus side of the ledger, especially for this province, the Canucks’ Dan Hamhuis earned a spot on the blueline with his rock-steady game and Victoria’s Jamie Benn garnered a forward spot after he was passed over for the summer orientation camp. The inclusion of Colorado’s Matt Duchene was also noteworthy, as was the Penguins’ Chris Kunitz, especially in Giroux’s absence. There were, it goes without saying, other talking points to emerge from Tuesday’s announcement and the merits of each selection will be beaten to death over the next couple of days. But after going through the same drill in Vancouver, you can say one thing for Yzerman, Babcock et al. They’re prepared for whatever the job throws at them. “Everyone in Canada has an opinion on who should be on this team and nobody’s wrong,” Yzerman said. “Nobody’s wrong because they’re all really good players.” “ Well, I guess it’s all how you look at things,” Babcock answered when asked if he has the best or worst job in hockey. “If you embrace opportunities that aren’t guaranteed, then it’s the greatest job in hockey. If you want a sure thing, you don’t want this job.” In assembling the battalion which will de-

fend the gold, Yzerman recalled 11 veterans from the Vancouver campaign as well as defenceman Jay Bouwmeester, who played eight years ago in Turin but didn’t make the Vancouver team. Most of those players were mortal locks — Crosby, Perry, Getzlaf, Toews, Keith, Weber, Doughty — and their quality is a known thing. As for the team’s moving parts — and goaltending is principal among these — they will go a long way in deciding the fate of the Maple Leaf in Russia. “We chose three goalies who could start,” Babcock said of the troika which includes Roberto Luongo, Carey Price and Mike Smith. “With the injury situation we have in the National Hockey League, to say ‘this guy is your starter’ is foolish. Now that the team is announced, we’ll go from here and decide what we’re going to do “ That, at least, has generally been the Canadian way, and it’s made for some great drama in past Olympiads. In 2002, for example, Curtis Joseph started in goal before he was succeeded by Marty Brodeur, who backstopped Canada to the gold. In 2010, Brodeur gave way to Luongo, who was on the ice when Crosby scored the golden goal. Babcock was asked what he’d learned in 2010. “ It’s a fine line and in order to win, you have to line up the moon and the stars,” he said. “As Canadians, we watch the junior team and we’re disappointed (at their fourth-place finish in the recent WJC) but our expectations have to be reasonable. “It’s hard to win.” Deep down, we know that. But, in this country, it’s harder to expect anything less. Ed Willis is a columnist with the Vancouver Province

What Parents Need to Know Dear Parents, The Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA), given to Grade 4 and 7 students, does not count towards your child’s marks. The results do not actively support your child’s learning. • FSA tests are expensive and waste money at a time when cuts are being made. • FSA tests do not help students learn or teachers teach. • FSA tests take valuable time away from more meaningful learning. • The data does not provide real help to students, parents, or schools. • The results are misused to rank schools and promote privatization. Teachers in Cranbrook recommend that you write a letter to your school principal, or detach the following letter, requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA. To learn more about your child’s progress and the real assessments done in the classroom, talk to her or his teacher. A message from the Cranbrook Teachers’ Association Please detach and use the letter to request that your Grade 4 or 7 child be withdrawn from the January and February 2014 FSA testing.

Dear Principal, I understand that parents may request the principal to excuse a student in the event of a family emergency, lengthy illness, or other extenuating circumstances.

Looking for that road winner? Try Niners at Carolina Barry Wilner Associated Press

The oddsmakers weren’t fazed by three road teams winning in the wild-card round. They’ve made two of those winners, the Saints and Chargers, big underdogs on Saturday in the divisional round. Recent history has shown that home field usually is meaningful in these four games, with only one visitor winning in each of the past two seasons. Only twice since 2002, when the current setup began, has there been a sweep by the four hosts, though; never have all visiting clubs won in the divisional round. Such numbers should make everyone search for that one or two road squads who might pull off another win. We think we’ve found the right one: the thawed-out 49ers (13-4). ``I haven’t found anything that makes you

feel more like a man than to go, not only beat your opponent, but you’re beating their crowd, and then, the elements, in a playoff game,’’ says coach Jim Harbaugh, whose 49ers (No. 3, AP Pro32) won on the final play at frigid Green Bay in the opening round and are 2-point choices Sunday at Carolina (No. 4, AP Pro32). The Panthers (12-4) had one of their most impressive victories in a turnaround season when they won at San Francisco 10-9 on Nov. 10. Neither side has forgotten that defensive battle in which the 49ers lost tight end Vernon Davis and rookie safety Eric Reid to concussions. Plus, wide receiver Michael Crabtree was still recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. He’s back, as are Davis and Reid.

San Francisco wide receiver Michael Crabtree is activated for the upcoming playoff game against Carolina. BEST BET: 49ers, 23-16 No. 7 New Orleans (plus 8) at No. 1 Seattle, Saturday Now that they have the first road playoff win in franchise history, can the Saints (12-5) start a winning streak away from New Orleans. That’s not exactly a Big Easy for them in Seattle, where the Seahawks

routed the Saints 34-7 on Dec. 2. Yes, the Seahawks lost their invincibility at CenturyLink Field by losing to Arizona three weeks ago. Contrary to the widespread opinion that it was an especially damaging defeat, we think it helped the Seahawks (13-3) recognize their vulnerability. They won’t slip up again, al-

though this won’t be anything close to that previous romp. SEAHAWKS, 24-20 No. 8 Indianapolis (plus 7 1-2) at No. 5 New England, Saturday The stats might not show it, the reality does: This has been one terrific year for Tom Brady. Despite almost an entirely new crew of receivers, few of them

proven, and with his favourite targets, Wes Welker (free agent signed by Denver) and Rob Gronkowski (injuries) not around, Brady guided the Patriots to a 12-4 record and yet another AFC East crown. The new guy in town will be Andrew Luck, who has that same look of stardom and indefatigability that Brady always has worn. Luck engineered that stunning comeback from a 28point deficit against Kansas City last weekend. He’s in his second pro season. All Brady did was win a Super Bowl as an NFL sophomore. For Luck and the Colts (12-5) to replicate that feat, they can’t afford another slow start. Even if they start fast, though, Brady has shown this season that he is still the master of the rally to victory. PATRIOTS, 33-28 No. 3 San Diego (plus

10) at No. 2 Denver San Diego’s last road game during the season was a Thursday night win at Denver (13-3). That was a key to the run the Chargers (10-7) have staged to not only sneak off with the final wildcard spot in the AFC, but go into Cincinnati and win. A repeat performance will likely require controlling the ball to keep Peyton Manning and the record-setting Denver offence on the sideline. It will require another huge defensive performance by a team that has stepped up on that side of the ball in the last month. It also might require another meltdown (or freeze out) late in the match by the Broncos, similar to what happened against Baltimore a year ago. Won’t happen. BRONCOS, 38-30

Grizzly bears worth more alive, study says Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C.’s Coastal First Nations were quick to endorse a new U.S. study of the value of bear viewing in their traditional territories. Kitasoo/Xai’xais councillor Doug Neasloss said the study by the Washington D.C.-based Centre for Responsible Travel supports what the northwest coast aboriginal communities have been saying for years: “Bears are worth more alive than they are dead.” The study calculated that in 2012, bear viewing

in what is now popularly known as the Great Bear Rainforest generated 12 times the visitor revenue as bear hunting. It counts 510 people employed in bear viewing companies compared to 12 jobs in guided hunting. The study is the latest salvo in a battle over trophy hunting in B.C. In November the province proposed to expand its traditional grizzly hunt to include Cariboo and Kootenay regions that were previously closed due to population concerns. The Coastal First Nations, which includes

Haida, Heiltsuk and seven other North Coast communities, has asserted its unresolved treaty rights in logging and pipeline protests as well as bear hunting. In 2012 the group announced a ban on trophy hunting for bears in its territories. The province has continued to issue “harvesting” permits, including one well-publicized trophy shot by NHL player Clayton Stoner in May 2013, who took only the head and paws. The U.S. study, funded by Tides Canada and Nature Conservancy USA,

suggested B.C. has overstated the value of its guide-outfitter business to remote economies. The province tracks wildlife populations and records human-related deaths, including vehicle accidents and “conflict kills,” where ranchers or conservation officers shoot bears to protect homes or livestock. The U.S. study reports that there were 74 grizzly hunters from outside B.C. in 2012, 80 per cent of them from the U.S. From 1976 to 2009 the province issued hunting permits for an average of 297 grizzly bears a year.

$3 million quad chairlift, snowmaking expansion set for Panorama

One-man art-rock funster rocks the Byng on Saturday, Jan. 11 Ferdy Belland

“I love it when I go where I’ve never been before...show or no show!” So says Evan Symons of Texada Island, who has long been a fixture on Vancouver’s artrock community with his quirky yet enthralling mix of prog-rock chops and multi-media sensory overload. And said enthralling mix is set to light up the stage at the Byng Roadhouse Saturday, Jan. 11. Symons is another die-hard road-warrior of Canada’s underground music circuit, and has been roaming the byways of the country for nearly a quarter-century. As well as helming Vancouver art-rock outfits like Uneven Steps and Transylvanian Polka , Symons is a former CITR-FM radio personality, hosting the “Live From Thunderbird Radio Hell” live-performance program alongside journalist John “Nardwuar the Human Serviette” Ruskin (host of MuchMusic’s “Going Coastal”). Newcomers to Symons’ music will hear influences from the late Frank Zappa, in terms of humorously-intelligent lyrics and technical creativity to his approaches to songwriting and guitar playing, but Symons is quick to downplay any possible write-offs as

Evan Symons plays the Byng in Cranbrook Saturday, Jan. 11 simply being a Zappa clone. “I was a big fan of Zappa in my 20s, and I still listen to him occasionally,” Symons explains. “I’ve been compared to him often. My song “Da Vinci the Dabbler” is definitely a Zappa ripoff. In the 1990s, Zappa-comparisons were generally a kiss of death...so I normally hope nobody notices. I’ve come to realize that my main influence is probably Paul McCartney. I do realize he crossed the cheesy line more than once in his day, but if you judge his entire recorded output as a whole...it’s amazing! I had Wings’ ‘Venus and Mars’ album the year it came out. And I love his latest album. Unlike Zappa, I still listen to

Paul McCartney regularly.” Having spent much of the past 30 years marching to the peculiar percussion of his own drum, Evan Symons now has time to reflect. “I don’t really connect with the West Coast music community as much as I once did,” Symons admits. “For over 20 years I was Mr. Scenester, at shows three or four nights a week. I really loved that time of my life. My favorite part of modern shows these is having interesting conversations between bands. Before, it seemed a lot more superficial, and I’m glad I have real friends in Vancouver music that I can really talk to. My main residence and studio is now on Texada Island, but

my social life’s limited there. I go there to work on music, and exercise. I run a consulting business in Vancouver, so there are periods where I don’t get enough time there, but I love it when I do. It’s simple, like it was in Prince George before I left for Vancouver in 1988. I finally realized on Texada that I needed to live a life outside of music to have something to write about.” Evan Symons plays the Byng Roadhouse Saturday, Jan. 11 at 9 p.m. For more information, visit: music.cbc.ca/ artists/Evan-Symons

Panorama Mountain Village Inc. announced today that it’s installing a state-of-the-art Doppelmayr EcoDrive quad chairlift, which will be ready for the first day of the 2014/2015 ski season. Construction will begin in April. The new fixed grip quad is the sixth chairlift in Panorama’s fleet and will service terrain ideal for novice to intermediate skiers. The lift connects riders from the base of the mountain to wide and gentle trails like Ski Tip Way and Stringer. It will also enhance the ski-in/ski-out flexibility of Trappers Ridge, Panorama’s newest residential neighborhood. Doppelmayr will oversee and complete the installation on behalf of Panorama Mountain Village. The chair boasts an uphill capacity of 1500 people per hour with a length of 788 metres (2,585 feet) and a vertical rise of 163 metres (535 feet). “This is the first significant new infrastructure on the mountain in

more than 10 years,” says Steve Paccagnan, president and CEO of Panorama Mountain Village, “In addition to the installation of the quad chair, we’re also improving the current novice ski zone. The overall result will be a space perfect for young families and novice skiers with terrain that’s all about progressive learning and fun in the snow. The next phase will see the development of a first-class learning centre.” The chairlift will be ideal for summer activities as well. Paccagnan notes, “The new lift opens endless opportunities to enhance our summer operation. We’re looking at downhill and cross-country mountain bike terrain, rope courses, zip lines and unique wedding venues.” Additionally Panorama Mountain Village will expand its modern snowmaking system to cover the area serviced by the new chairlift. The machine-made snow will ensure perfect coverage through the long winter season.

ing. We also predicted in 2013 that it would be a year of more than normal electrical breakdowns of any kind. This means lots of computer glitches — if your computer was old but still good or any electrical appliances, car, houses and buildings, anything to do with electrical equipment last year would have clearly shown you and your bank account those problems. I made several other predictions but those were not written in the paper. However, we embark on a new year and it will be a better year for some of us that have cleared away our baggage. The first part of the year will be still cleaning away some of the negative debris from 2013 and the residue of negative energy takes time to dissipate. However, if you noticed, 2014 did not start out harsh, complex or erratic as last year. Things seem to be simmering down energy wise. More kindness, understanding and tolerance is spreading over the planet. We need to remember this year to be kinder and gentler with ourselves and those that need to learn the lessons they choose not to learn. We need not to help those individuals so much as to tell them in a kinder way that this is a lesson they need to learn or not.

We as individuals need to concentrate this year on our own path and correct our own mistakes instead of judging others. This means this is a year of self-awareness for the self and not of others so much. As we all know, when we judge ourselves to harshly or are hard on ourselves then we treat others in the same way. This can be a successful year if we wish to endeavour into new adventures of any kind. This means if you want to start that new business or expand your business this will be a good year to do that. It also means to expand and start, slowly and with good common sense, building and accomplishing little by little. People will be less argumentative than in 2013 and this means meetings or anything to do with communication with others will be better than last year. Well, that’s all I have for now as for predictions for 2014. I’m just new at predicting events and such and it all started for me in 2013. One of my guides felt it was time that I start to make predictions, I guess. So, as I hear the messages or predictions for the coming year I will put them in the paper. Wishing a wonderful, prosperous and content New Year to all my 2014 readers. Wendy

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your instincts work well with your finances right now. If you feel like you are lucky, go out and buy a lottery ticket. Be wise and follow your own advice. Remember to listen to your inner voice. You could be unusually fortunate as a result. Tonight: Treat a loved one well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are energized and a witness to new possibilities. A discussion could encourage you to go for a long-term goal. Whether it is possible will be irrelevant. Accept the challenge, and keep your eye on the finish line. Tonight: Screen your calls if you want to get anything done. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Take your time and let your mind wander. Your daydreaming contributes to your success and creativity; just don’t do it in front of your boss, as he or she might not understand your process. An associate will get you thinking with a question. Tonight: Vanish.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to feedback, and know what you desire. Friends seem to be supportive, and they probably will stay that way while you accomplish this goal. Your upbeat spirit is influential and helps many people, including you. Keep that in mind. Tonight: Where the gang is. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You beam, and others naturally come toward you. The problem you might have is that you can’t really let go because of all your responsibilities. Still, others do respond to you well. Use your instincts with someone you must answer to. Tonight: In the limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Listen to a friend, who might be the source of surprising news. What you say and how you respond will make all the difference. Know that you won’t be able to change someone’s knee-jerk reaction. Be open to this person, despite his or her thinking. Tonight: Find your friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

2 1 0 4 B - 2 N D S T. S , C R A N B R O O K

You might have indicated that you would accept extra responsibility. If you are exhausted and feel as if you have very little to offer, others will sense it, and your leadership could be questioned. Realize your limits when dealing with others. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Touch base with someone in the know. You can’t continue the way you have been without taking a bigger look at a situation that will help you expand your thinking. Someone sees life very differently from how you do. Listen to his or her thoughts. Tonight: Get concert tickets. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Take news with a grain of salt. You might want to check out an associate’s thoughts on the matter. You could be unwilling to take a risk until you feel the situation is a lot more grounded. Your hesitancy might be instrumental to your success. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to revisit a situation involving a loved one.

Your decision could dramatically change your choices afterward. You are on a split path, and once you decide which way to go, it will be difficult to turn back. Tonight: Get into weekend mode. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen to news carefully. The person delivering the information might be as rigid as you are. Avoid viewing this situation in terms of “your way or my way,” as that could result in a deadlock between the two of you. Instead, listen and process. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Listen to the creative muse within, as you could have a rare opportunity to express yourself freely. You will do just that in an unprecedented manner if you refuse to hold back. A child or loved one will be delighted by you and what you have to say. Tonight: Live it up.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am writing to you with a heavy heart. I have been married to my second wife for 20 years. We dated for two years, and she became impatient with my reluctance to get married. We both wanted kids, but her timetable was different than mine. Even though I was old enough to know better (46), I married her because she got pregnant. I am positive that she did it intentionally. We are different. I am very clean and organized, and I work hard. She is messy to the point of dirty, stubborn, disorganized, lazy and vindictive. She has tried to sabotage my relationship with our two children who are now in their late teens. In spite of her efforts, I have created a good relationship with my son. But my younger daughter is another story. She is like her mother: a spoiled brat. I know I am partly responsible for the way she’s turned out. I would like to create a loving relationship before she goes to college in August. I know it’s late to fix this, but do you have any suggestions? -- Getting This Off My Chest Dear Getting: It’s never too late to try to mend relationships. The first one should be with your wife. You are terribly resentful, and it’s obvious that you don’t actually like her. Although you may have good reason, your children undoubtedly see it and react accordingly. It also fuels your wife’s desire to get back at you. And finally, how you relate to your wife affects how you relate to your daughter, who has a similar personality. She identifies with Mom and may believe you resent and dislike her, as well. Get counseling -- alone, with your wife or with your daughter. Whatever you can arrange. Dear Annie: My 67-year-old mother is an alcoholic. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with dementia. Mom is now on medication for depression and high blood pressure and is living with my sister “Shannon.” I have seven siblings. When Shannon needs a break, my brothers and I take turns with Mom on the weekends. Mom wanders off during the day while Shannon is at work and catches a ride with strangers to get alcohol. My sister is tired and stressed and says she is fed up because we are not helping her. It’s true that we all could do more, but no one really wants to. Mom is a handful. Mom is capable of taking care of herself only when she is not drinking. Otherwise, she has outbursts and tantrums. Shannon has decided to place Mom in a facility. Mom is on a low fixed income. Where could she go? -- Worried Sis Dear Worried: First, take your mother to her physician and have her evaluated to see whether she can manage at an independent senior residence or requires an assisted-living facility. Then call the Eldercare Locator (eldercare.gov) at 1-800-677-1116 for information about available places, and take the time to visit those that seem appropriate. Please do not make Shannon do this on her own. Surely, eight children can do this for one mother, no matter how difficult she is. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Drowning in Junk,” whose wife is a hoarder. He asked whether he could toss stuff while she is out of town. You were right to tell him not to do that. “Cleaning out” (throwing everything away without the hoarder’s involvement) can actually exacerbate the problem. Please ask “Drowning” to reach out to his local police, fire and health departments and ask whether there is a Hoarding Task Force in his area. Hoarding Task Forces are being organized nationwide. Often the task force will offer direct assistance or referrals to resources including cleaners, organizers and mental health organizations. We have a Hording Task Force here that consults all over the state. -- Burlington, Vt. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries

Obituaries Walter Komar 1929 - 2013

Walter passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 29, 2013. He was born in Brandon, Manitoba October 24, 1929. Walter worked some very interesting jobs including two seasons with a travelling circus as well as on a steam ship on the Great Lakes. He then joined CP Rail working as a locomotive engineer until retirement. As he would often tell you, the best times at the railroad were the steam engine days. Walter had a variety of interests and over the years collected many books on all sorts of subjects. Brian’s introduction to the iPad opened the World Wide Web to Walter. He loved it and enjoyed it immensely. His only regret was that it happened when he was 83 and not 25 years earlier! He spent many hours surfing the net searching foods of the world, painting styles and other subjects. Walter loved to talk and had a memory that was unbelievable. He could talk for hours about places, incidents, news stories or of his railroad years and always with amazing accuracy. Thanks go out to Dr. Fourie. We have never met a more caring doctor. Thanks also to the staff in the Lakit Unit at Joseph Creek Care Village. Walter will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Walter did not want a service but we will hold a celebration of his life at a later date. Should you wish to make a donation in Walter’s name, please do so to either Cranbrook Hospice Society or go to Hungry for Life.org and donate to Dr. Cutler’s International projects. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Obituaries ROBERTSON, MARILEE ANN May 12, 1944 January 3, 2014

Dearly loved and missed by her Cranbrook family, Judy, Erin, Michael and Shauna (Sarah and Taylor), Patrick and Angela (Natalia and Tyson) and Jeremy Vaughan. She will also be missed by Charlsie Wilson, Joan Edwards, her many friends and Kian. Marilee taught for many years, starting and ending her career at Muriel Baxter School. She taught all of the primary grades (Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2). She so loved teaching at Muriel Baxter School that she really couldn’t see herself teaching anywhere else and as a result, retired in 2002 when the school was closed. On January 3, 2014, her mansion was finished, and the Lord took her home to be with Him. Funeral service will be held at First Baptist Church on Thursday, January 9, 2014 at 3:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Friends of Children, Cranbrook, B.C. The link to their website is http://friendsofchildren.ca/east-kootenay-supporters/

BERESFORD, Arthur Frederick Victor On the evening of Wednesday, January 1, 2014, Mr. Arthur Frederick Victor Beresford passed away peacefully in Cranbrook, BC on at the age of 80 years. He was born in London, England, on April 3rd, 1933. Arthur worked at BC Telephone as a radio technician until his retirement. He was very involved in the community and served as a member of the Cranbrook City Council from 1971-1979 and was a Minor Hockey coach for eleven years. He also helped with the Kinsmen to build the Hockey arena. One of Arthur’s greatest loves was to sail. He moved to Sydney, BC on Vancouver Island so he could be close to the water to sail his boat. Four years ago, Arthur moved back to Cranbrook and resided at the FW Green Memorial Home where he kept the staff on their toes! He will be deeply missed and forever treasured by his family and friends. Arthur leaves to cherish his memory his children; Victor (Heather) Beresford, Brian (Carolee) Beresford, Dagny (Don) Kasner and Kelly (Brian) Johnston. Also left behind is the mother of his children; Annabelle and his grandchildren; Liam Beresford, Danielle and Will Reinarz, Jordan & Chelsea Kasner, Lindsey Kasner, Ryley and Maxwell Johnston and great grandson Eli Kasner. Art was predeceased by one son, Eric Beresford in 1978. A service of remembrance will be held for Arthur at a later date. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honour Arthur’s memory may do so with donations to the BC Children’s Hospital, 4480 Oak St., B321, Vancouver, BC V6H 2K2 or the Cranbrook SPCA, PO Box 2, Cranbrook, BC V1C 4H6.

Fern Denise Phoenix “Mama” June 23, 1955 - January 5, 2013

“Your Mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well. She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colours of the rainbow; she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you, not time, not space... not even death.” - Unknown Will always be missed by family and friends and her family & customers at Van Houtte. You will always be our Christmas morning Love Deni, Lindy & families

Plane makes emergency landing on Alaska street THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANCHORAGE, Alaska â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A pilot who made a safe emergency landing on a major Anchorage street said he lost power, waited for a break in traffic, then descended onto the snowy median. Armon Tabrizi said he was not immediately sure where to land before deciding to put the Cessna 172RG Cutlass down in the middle of Boniface Parkway Tuesday afternoon, the Anchorage Daily News (http://is. gd/ZctL6G ) reported. Tabrizi, 27, avoided cars and stoplights, and no one in the plane or on the ground was injured. Two other people were with Tabrizi in the plane, which is owned by Land and Sea Aviation, a flight school based at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Merrill Field. The incident is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk too much about the investigation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on,â&#x20AC;? Tabrizi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad everybody is

The plane was on a routine maintenance flight, according to Ben Kinney, a flight instructor and operations supervisor for the company. He said the plane had not had any recent problems or gone through significant mechanical work. Kinney said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speculate on

what couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone wrong. Tabrizi, who also is a flight instructor, said the plane had â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant issuesâ&#x20AC;? as it was heading south after departing from Merrill Field.

DUNDEE, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An adventurous peacock that escaped its pen at a Chicago-area petting zoo and became frozen in subzero temperatures has died. The Randall Oaks Barnyard Zoo in Dundee says the 5-year-old bird named Blue died Wednesday

90 minutes after the bird fled his heated enclosure. The zoo used warm water and a sweatshirt to restore Blueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circulation. Mangiaracina says Blue likely died because of a buildup of fluid in his lungs from the cold. Dundee is about 35 miles northwest of Chicago.

VATICAN CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Vatican delegate running the troubled Legion of Christ has urged its priests to elect a new leadership worthy of authority, after suffering for years from shame and suspicion following revelations that its founder was a pedophile.

He says the new leaders must infuse the religious order with a new spirit to finish a process of reform that he said had only just begun. Cardinal Velasio De Paolis presided Thursday over a Mass opening a month-long meeting of Legion delegates to elect a new leadership and finalize

new constitutions that must be submitted to Pope Francis for approval. The meeting is the culmination of a threeyear Vatican experiment to try to turn the congregation around after a Holy See investigation uncovered serious problems in the cult-like movement.
