The Pee Wee Tier 3 Cranbrook Ice team raised $263.50 this weekend in a progressive 50/50 fundraiser that will be donated to a trust fund of a family in the Lower Mainland. Minor hockey associations across the province have been raising money for the family of Julie Paskall, a hockey mom who was killed outside an arena in Newton earlier this month. A parent of one of the players on the local team heard of the trust fund and decided to organize a fundraiser at a four-team home tournament this weekend. The Pee Wee Ice will be doing another fundraiser for the same cause during another tournament on Jan. 25-26 at the Memorial Arena.
East Kootenay takes a bite out of Energy Diet Dozens of homeowners have signed up for the incentive-laden energy efficiency program SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
More than 200 East Kootenay homeowners have signed up for a program that will help them cut energy costs. The East Kootenay Energy Diet launched in July. Since then, 221 residents of the East Kootenay have signed up for the program, including 28 in Cranbrook, 32 in Kimberley and 83 in the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK).
“The biggest area of success is in the electoral areas of the RDEK,” said community energy manager Megan Lohmann. “We targeted about 50 assessments, knowing that it is sometimes difficult to get a reach in rural areas. As of Jan. 6 there were 83 residences signed up to the program and 80 that followed through with actually registering for their assessments.” Lohmann presented an up-

date on the Energy Diet to the RDEK board of directors on Friday, Jan. 10. The East Kootenay Energy Diet is a collaboration of the RDEK, Columbia Basin Trust, BC Hydro and FortisBC. It allows homeowners to access low-cost home energy assessments, connect with a certified energy advisor, understand what retrofits best suit their home, and identify local contractors.
There are incentives and rebates available for participating residents who take steps to improve their home’s energy efficiency and make energy cost savings. The Regional District of East Kootenay offered incentives for the first 75 homeowners to take part in the Energy Diet, including a $50 incentive for a pre-retrofit assessment.

Ktunaxa, RDEK to collaborate on MOU
Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
The Ktunaxa Nation Council and Regional District of East Kootenay will work together to draft a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) this year. The project was supported by the Ktunaxa Nation Council last November, and the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) board of di-
rectors supported moving ahead with the project on Friday, Jan. 10. “I think this would be a good step forward,” said board chair Rob Gay. The first steps to draft an MOU between the RDEK, the municipalities within it, and the Ktunaxa Nation Council and its communities were taken in 2007. However, it stalled
when staff brought the project to the RDEK elected officials. “It got to the point (where) it was time for municipal councils and this board to review. There was a municipal council that was adamantly opposed to proceeding with an MOU at that time. So it was dropped and it never proceeded,” Chief Administrative Officer Lee-
Ann Crane told the board on Friday. Since then, the RDEK and Ktunaxa have continued to collaborate, most recently on an Official Community Plan for Koocanusa. Last fall, the Ktunaxa approached the RDEK about beginning work once more on the MOU, but this time between the RDEK and the Ktunaxa Nation Council only, not the
municipalities or bands. “So the Nation Council is interested; they want to continue to do this. They want to have this MOU,” said Crane. “It’s a step ahead in
the continued efforts to solidify our communication and working relationships both with the Nation Council,” said Crane. The two govern-
ments will work together this year to draft the Memorandum of Understanding around land use planning and development management.
Flu vaccine in short supply Continued from page 1 “We’ve definitely had a few out of province inquiries,” said Ashley Tait at Kimberley’s Shoppers Drug Mart. “After the Christmas holidays we had visitors trying to get the vaccine before they left because they heard about long lines in Alberta.” However, those out-of-province inquiries are all being given the same answer — there’s no more vaccine to sell. Supplies of the flu vaccine to pharmacies in B.C. come from two different sources, Tait explained. The shot which people pay for comes from a different supplier than the public supply from Interior Health, (which can only go to those with a B.C. Care Card). But at the moment, there are
none left. “We are out of vaccine,” Tait said. “Last Monday we got a small stock and we went through it quickly. We get our public stock through Interior Health and this morning we received a fax saying that effective immediately, Interior Health can’t supply pharmacies. They will continue to offer clinics through Public Health by appointment this week .” Michelle Gray of Gray’s Compounding Pharmacy in Marysville says the same. “We are getting Albertans asking about it, but there are no paying shots left. We are waiting for Interior Health to get the next shipment of public shots, so we are accumulating a waiting list for those shots.”

One of Cranbrook’s most colourful entertainers recently gave a “magical Christmas” gift to East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s Pediatric Department. It was PT the Clown’s second major gift to East

dancing thanks to the magical journey of finding the right Christmas tree played out on stage. Dancers from the Aspire Dance Academy also joined in with some creative dance routines. The funds from this year’s PT the Clown

Alberta is the national champion at disturbing natural landscape, study finds Canadian Press
EDMONTON — A national study suggests that Alberta has disturbed more of its natural landscape than any other province. The analysis by Global Forest Watch adds that
Wild Rose Country also has two of three areas where the rate of disturbance is the highest. Report author Peter Lee says almost twothirds of the entire province is disturbed by roads, seismic corridors,
clearcuts, well sites and pipelines. He also says that the frontier of undisturbed areas in the oilsands region and along the eastern slopes of the Rockies is being pushed back by up to 10 kilometres a
year. Lee’s analysis is based on government and satellite data. He says it’s the first time anyone has put together a national picture of how Canada’s natural landscapes are faring.

Former Cranbrook surgeon receives Order of Canada honour for Tourette’s work Ste ve Hubrecht Columbia Valley Pioneer
Retired Cranbrook surgeon Mort Doran has been named a member of the Order of Canada for his efforts to raise awareness about Tourette’s Syndrome and for his contributions to medical education. “It’s a bit embarrassing; somehow I feel I don’t match up to the criteria of others in that league (members of the Order of Canada),” said Doran, who now lives in Fairmont Hot Springs. “But I’m honoured and grateful that people would think I deserve it.” Doran has lived with Tourette’s Syndrome his entire life. But for almost four decades, he was unaware of the neurological disorder, having never even heard of Tourette’s — even though he had gone through medical school, been a

program about Tourette’s Syndrome that he realized the symptoms being described matched those he’d had since kindergarten. “In the 10 minutes I just happened to listen to it, it was like a life de-
scription of me,” he said of the moment. He had previously assumed his symptoms were just an unexplainable part of his personality. Growing up, Doran worked hard to hide or camouflage his To-
urette’s symptoms — which include tics (non-voluntary motor movements, some of which have associated vocal sounds), ritualistic obsessive behaviours and compulsions, as well as attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder type behaviours (impulsiveness, distraction, non-compliance, and low tolerance for frustration). “It was difficult in the sense of teasing and bullying,” said Doran. “I just kept away from everybody as much as I could. I had my own little world.” Although having Tourette’s complicated Doran’s life, it hasn’t prevented him from being a top-notch, laser-focused surgeon in the operating room. He likens his tics to an itch on your nose — when one arose while he was operating, he’d pause, deal with it by taking a quick micro break and then immediately pick up the scalpel again and continue with the surgery. Like the tension from an itch being relieved from a quick scratch, the tension from the tics would dis-

sipate with a break. “What I would do is every so often, sometimes every three or four minutes, I would just step back and adjust my gloves or adjust my gown and then go back to cutting and dissecting. I was never concerned nor were any of the other doctors concerned that I would go and uncontrollably cut something I shouldn’t. You could certainly control,” said Doran. The former surgeon has spoken all across the continent about Tourette’s Syndrome, often on behalf of the Tourette’s Syndrome Foundation of Canada, and likes to tell others who have the disorder (as well as their families) not to let it prevent them from doing what they want, saying that if he’d been diagnosed with the disorder as a kid or early on as a medical student he, or those around him, might have thought surgical residency impossible for him — something that’s clearly untrue. “I probably wouldn’t have gotten into surgery. It was my ignorance of Tourette’s — and everybody else’s ignorance about it — that helped me to become a surgeon where otherwise I might not have,” said Doran. “I tell kids, and their families and teachers, having Tourette’s is not easy and it’s not great, but don’t let it be the factor that holds you back. We (those with Tourette’s) are just as worthy as anybody else to do what we want to do. You can be pretty well whatever you want to — as much as it’s difficult, you barge on ahead,” said Doran. Raising awareness about the disorder among not only those who have Tourette’s Syndrome and their families, but also among the general population is important, according to Doran. “People are often not so kind and accepting of mental aberrations or any kind of abnormal behaviours,” he said. “Nobody laughs at somebody in a wheelchair, but they will laugh at people who display physical tics.”

Mangled menu for the murder What’s Up? “Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool.”
It
looks very much as if there might be a “murder of crows” gathering on the rotting snows of my lawn. I’ve no idea which individual bird called the “murder” but I hope he or she doesn’t have my murder in mind. I never know what is going on behind those beady eyes when they sit outside on my balcony rail and scowl at me. Now, I should have no fear of the local crows — or ravens, or whatever — as I have been feeding them scraps of bread-crust, lumps of fat off the roasts, dried out cookies and all sorts of nourishing fare, but I am afraid I slipped up yesterday. I placed out on my balcony rail by the kitchen door a great deal of unwanted pastry that I’d prepared for dinner that evening. I had promised myself and some favoured friends some sausage rolls – I am a sausage roll fanatic – but some things went amiss. Bertrand Russell said that anything a person is good at contributes to that person’s happiness. I am not good at making pastry. Walt Disney reckons that it is fun to do the impossible. Pastry making is almost impossible for me; it is also no fun at all. Since my retirement from the work-aday world, I have enjoyed cooking. My
beloved eventually gave up trying to throw me bodily from the kitchen and there have been some notable successes over the years and quite a few dismal failures, and most of the failures have been with pastry. I arose just a little after dawn yesterday with those sausage rolls in mind. I had purchased some sausage meat but forgotten the pre-prepared pastry so, undeterred, I Peter hauled out the cookbook, Warland the flour, the lard and the butter plus all the necessary accoutrements. I put on my newly acquired apron and set to work; it was going to get messy. I have known for years that it is compulsory for the cook to have cold hands for pastry making and so stuck my hand under the cold tap, then in the ice tray, then into the deep freeze for a short while. Outside, a solitary crow watched me with suspicion. With hands frozen to the elbows, I meted out the flour, added the necessary pinch of salt then set about the onerous task of mixing in the lard. One is supposed to chop it in with two knives, but I’ve never managed. I use one knife wildly then resort to the potato basher. I refroze my hands as they had painfully thawed. Another crow joined the first and they both watched me warily.
When it came to adding the spoonsful of cold water my culinary world went pear-shaped. When I attempted to make a ball of the mixture, it turned out to be too crumbly. I added a tad more water as a third crow joined the onlookers. I threw some flour on the countertop and tried balling up the pastry once more. It wouldn’t glue together so I slammed it on to the flat surface and pummelled it flat, sort of. When I hauled out the rolling pin, chaos rook over. Like the ancient continent of Pangea, my pastry drifted inexorably apart, and I wondered if one of the crows might be selling tickets to the show. When, at last, I had attained a reasonably flat layer of pastry, I daubed it with liquid mustard and then began to roll out the pork filling, but calamity followed catastrophe. The sausage rolls wouldn’t roll; the pastry was firmly adhered to the counter top and had to be prised loose with the knife. I did cook a few sausage rolls but most of the mess went out on to the balcony rail where the crows, with jaundiced eyes on my culinary failures, took a few tentative steps forward. Maybe it was the awful pastry; possibly it was the mustard, but the crows took one tiny nibble then, screeching “never more” like Alexander Poe’s raven, they fled. Now they’re back planning my demise.
Egypt’s ‘Aspiring Dictator’s Handbook’
G
eneral Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who led the coup against Egypt’s elected president last July, has one of the finest collections of military headgear in the entire Middle East. Perhaps that’s why he has still not admitted that he plans to become the next president: he can’t decide which hat to throw into the ring. His own explanation for his shyness comes straight out of the Aspiring Dictator’s Handbook: “If I nominate myself, there must be a popular demand, and a mandate from my army,” he told the state-owned paper Al-Ahram.“When Egyptians say something, we obey, and I will never turn my back on Egypt.” Egyptian generals are deeply patriotic people, and three others before Sisi have sacrificed their own desire for a quiet life in order to rule Egypt: Gamal Abdel Nasser (1956-70), Anwar Sadat (1970-81) and Hosni Mubarak (1981-2011). In fact, the last three years have been the only time in the life of the great majority of Egyptians when a general has not been running the country, and Sisi seems ready to make the supreme sacrifice too. A mandate from the army shouldn’t be hard to get, since he runs the whole organisation. And as far as “popular demand” is concerned, Sisi is clearly planning to use a “yes” vote in this week’s referendum on the new constitution as proof that the people want him for president. The new constitution will be the third in four years. It replaces the one that was written and adopted (also by referendum) during the brief, unhappy rule of President Mohamed Morsi, who took office on 30 June, 2012, and was overthrown on 3 July, 2013. It removes the “Islamic” changes that Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood wrote into the last one, which should appeal to
secular Egyptians, but that’s not what makes it attractive to General Sisi. The new clauses that only a soldier could love include one that gives the Egyptian military the right to appoint the defence minister, and another that says the military budget will not be subject to civilian oversight. It also retains the much-criticised clause that allows civilians to be tried in military courts. Sisi reckons enough civilians will for it anyway, some Gwynne vote because they hate the Islamists and some because Dyer they are just tired of all the upheavals. Maybe they will, because the whole Arab world is suffering from revolution fatigue: the “Arab awakening” has caused such turbulence that many people would find a return to the old dictatorships almost comforting. It’s true even in Syria, where some of the rebels are starting to talk about making a deal with the Assad regime in order to isolate the Islamist extremists and hasten the end of the war. There has been no war in Egypt, but about a thousand of Morsi’s supporters were massacred in the streets of Cairo by the “security forces” last summer, and the Muslim Brotherhood has been declared a terrorist organisation. There have been many thousands of arrests, not only of senior Muslim Brotherhood members but recently of secular critics of the of the military regime as well. Egyptians are frightened and exhausted, and Sisi apparently thinks they will gratefully accept a return to army rule (behind a democratic facade). But his nervousness is showing: there’s barely a wall in Cairo that is not covered with “Yes” posters and pictures of Sisi, while people trying to put up “No” posters get arrested. Sisi is probably right to be nervous. In late September, three months after
the coup, Zogby Research Services carried out an extensive opinion poll in Egypt for the Sir Bani Yas Forum in Abu Dhabi. It revealed that confidence in the army had already dropped from 93 percent to 70 percent, and it probably has gone on dropping. General Sisi and former President Morsi had almost equal support in the country – 46 percent for Sisi, 44 percent for Morsi (who now faces trial for “inciting his supporters to carry out premeditated murder” and various other alleged crimes). But Morsi’s trial was postponed last week from 8 January to 1 February, allegedly because bad weather prevented him from being flown from his prison in Alexandria to Cairo for the trial. That’s a rather long spell of bad weather, and besides it’s only two and a half hours by road from Alexandria to Cairo. One suspects that the military regime did not want Morsi to make his first public appearance since the coup just before the referendum. The Zogby poll also revealed that an overwhelming majority of respondents blame the last military regime, under Hosni Mubarak, for the problems facing Egypt today. All in all, this is hardly a firm foundation on which to complete the counter-revolution and build a new military regime. The likeliest outcome of the referendum on the new constitution this week (Tuesday and Wednesday) will be a modest majority for the “Yes”, but on a very low turnout. If it is lower than the mere 33 percent who voted in the referendum on the last constitution in 2012, then Sisi may have to reconsider his plan to run for the presidency.

Harper rapped for wrong reasons
P
rime Minister Stephen Harper’s latest visit to B.C. was portrayed as these things are today: besieged by protesters, hiding from an ever-vigilant media, cynically campaigning for the 2015 federal election. TV couldn’t get enough of the two “environmental activists” who dressed as waiters to slip onstage at a business breakfast in Vancouver. They’re not environmentalists, just all-purpose protesters using the flavour of the month. They are associated with a group calling itself “No One Is Illegal,” a collection of anarchist kooks that wants to do away with national borders, and of course capitalism. As their now-famous sign said, they want “climate justice now.” Organizer Brigette DePape explained to a co-operative CBC TV host that the recent typhoon in the Philippines that killed thousands of people was caused by global warming, which of course is caused mainly by the Alberta “tar sands.” I won’t dwell on this routine idiocy, except to say the number of hurricanes that struck North America in 2013 was zero, and that hasn’t happened since 1994. Also, “climate justice” is like “social justice,” in that both require confiscation of earned wealth. DePape is the former Senate page fired
in 2011 for a similar sign stunt. She’s now a professional Harper hater, with support from the U.S.-based Tides Foundation among others. One of the issues Harper didn’t take questions on was the consolidation of 11 federal fisheries libraries into two, one of them in Sidney, B.C. This is portrayed as part of Harper’s so-called “war on science,” and has been comBC VIEWS pared with the Romans burning the library of Alexandria Tom in ancient Egypt. Fletcher Fisheries Minister Gail Shea defended the cost-cutting measure by pointing out that almost all access to these libraries is now digital, so maintaining 11 duplicated sets of printed reports is a waste of taxpayer dollars. An anonymous federal scientist fired back on his blog that the head of one of these libraries retired before the contents could even be catalogued, much less completely digitized for online access. So this material wasn’t even properly organized? Users were supposed to browse until they stumbled on something pertinent? The ministry reported that the average number of people other than federal fisheries staff who used these libraries averaged between five and 12 per year. That’s for all 11 facilities combined. And if anyone has
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
even one example of information that was available and isn’t now, they should identify it. Harper’s got plenty to answer for, no question. To take one of many examples, spending our borrowed money on TV ads for a “Canada Job Grant” program that hasn’t even been introduced in Parliament, much less set up, isn’t just wasteful. It’s dishonest and cruelly misleading to the unemployed people the ads pretend to offer help. Harper’s visit to B.C. added a couple of scripted events, starting with softball questions at the Vancouver business breakfast. Then he was off to a photo op at the Kinsol trestle on Vancouver Island, where he announced three more years of funding for the Trans-Canada Trail. I’m as relieved as anyone that Harper is not killing this modest federal project that started in 1992, but this is not news. It was a fake public event to justify the cost of a trip so Harper could address a new Conservative riding association. And how is the federal deficit after eight years of tight-fisted Conservative rule? We’re only borrowing about $1 billion a month now, down from the Harper government all-time record deficit of $55 billion in 2009. Some cost cutting is in order all right.

KOOTENAY ICE
Franko already proving his worth TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Zach Franko is looking good in the blue and white colours of the Kootenay Ice. The newcomer was an integral part of Kootenay’s offence against the Edmonton Oil Kings on Sunday evening, contributing a pair of goals towards the 5-4 win. Acquired from the Kelowna Rockets two days before the WHL trade deadline last week, the Ice gave up a sixthround pick (2014) and a third-round pick (2016) in return.
“I just want to come here and contribute and do whatever I can for this team to make a playoff push and make some hay in the playoffs.” Zach Franko The trade situation for Franko developed when the Rockets landed Marek Tvrdon, who was sent back to major-junior after playing most of his season in the ECHL with the Toledo Walleye within the system of the Detriot Red Wings. Kelowna acquired Tvrdon from the Vancouver Giants for a firstround pick, which gave them four 20-year-old players with only three available spots. Kootenay Ice GM Jeff Chynoweth got in touch with his counterpart in Kelowna, Bruce Hamilton, and got the deal done in roughly five
minutes. “It was really a no-brainer for us,” Chynoweth said. “As I said leading up to the trade deadline, we wanted to add an older forward and Zach fits the bill exactly the way we want. Two hundred career points, played with a winning organization, knows what it takes to win, I think a legitimate top-six forward who’s only going to help our hockey club.” Franko knew something was up when he met with his coach, Ryan Huska, who delivered the trade news. “I was bummed out for a bit, but I’m thrilled to be here to help the Ice move on,” said Franko, who had spent his entire four-year WHL career with the Rockets. Franko had already faced the Ice earlier this year as a member of the Rockets when Kootenay went on their B.C. Division road trip, but he was already well-aware of their reputation. “I know they played my style of a game,” Franko said. “They’re an up-tempo team that’s very good. Offensively, they have a couple guys that are really hot in the scoring standings and guys that I like to play with. “That’s why the transition has been fairly easy, is because guys think the game like me and when you can do that, good things will come.” Good things certainly came on Sunday with his two goals against Edmonton, which edged him over the 200-point mark of his career.
ZURICH, Switzerland - Cristiano Ronaldo has won the FIFA Ballon d’Or award for 2013, ending Lionel Messi’s four-year run as the world’s best player. Ronaldo scored 69 goals for Real Madrid and Portugal last year, and his stunning hat trick against Sweden in a decisive World Cup playoff was perhaps the defining individual per-
formance. “There are no words to describe this moment,” said Ronaldo, who was sobbing in tears after he accepting the trophy with his young son, also named Cristiano, beside him on stage. He defeated Barcelona’s Messi and France winger Franck Ribery, who helped Bayern Munich to a sweep of major titles.

Zach Franko battles for the puck against a defender from the Edmonton Oil Kings on Friday night during WHL action at Western Financial Place. “It’s pretty cool,” Franko said. “The players that I played with in Kelowna and here, it’s a pretty big milestone for me, and it reminds me of the times I’ve had in Kelowna and the times I’m going to have here. “I just want to come here and contribute and do whatever I can for this team to make a playoff push and make some hay in the playoffs.” Kootenay is with a full complement of 20-year-olds with Franko, defenceman Jagger
Dirk and forward Zach McPhee. The team spent most of last season with only two overage veterans in Joey Leach and Brock Montgomery after Drew Czerwonka retired due to injury concerns. Chynoweth said he kept the overage spot open because he wanted to make sure he found the right player to fill it. “We’ve made a lot of changes this year, I think we’ve added five new players from the start of the year and released and traded a few veter-
ans from last year,” said Chynoweth. “We’re a team that doesn’t make a lot of changes. We build through the bantam draft and unfortunately we weren’t in a position with the 1993age group to do that, and we wanted to make sure we got the right one. “I know from Zach’s end, and speaking with him, he’s quite excited about our program, he knows about our success and I think he’s going to be a welcome addition to all aspects of our game.”

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been in a committed relationship for a year. Admittedly, my girlfriend and I (we are lesbians) rushed into things. We moved in together quickly when she broke up with her girlfriend of five years. After the first month, “Dennie” cheated on me with her ex. I wrote it off, but a few months later, she cheated again. I have generalized anxiety disorder and started to associate going to work with Dennie’s cheating, which made my work life miserable. Shortly after all of this happened, I emotionally cheated with an ex of my own. I admitted this to Dennie. She was angry and sad, but I said she should give me a second chance because I’d already given her two. I deleted my ex’s phone number and blocked her in all forms of communication. I recently found out that Dennie visited her ex when she was briefly in the hospital. It wasn’t cheating, but we had agreed that one of the conditions of continuing our relationship is that all contact with the exes must be stopped. One month later, Dennie cheated on me again with this same girl -- in our home. It’s hard for me to look at Dennie the same way. My head keeps telling me to let her go, but my heart isn’t ready. I’ve asked Dennie to go with me for counseling, but she says she wants us to work it out on our own. She says she isn’t the only one at fault. We’ve both made mistakes, but the difference is that I’ve learned from mine. I can’t continue unless we both can be faithful. What should I do? -- Cheated On Again Dear Cheated On: Dennie is not yet over her ex, and you seem well aware of it. You were her rebound. You desperately want Dennie to be someone she is not, and it isn’t working out. Unless you want your heart broken over and over, please let her go. Even if she doesn’t return to her ex, her next relationship might not be with you. If you can accept this outcome, you can move forward. Dear Annie: Growing up, I thought if I had siblings, I would have learned how to get along with others my own age. But now that I have reached the ripe old age of 70, I am grateful to have been an only child. Here’s why: There was enough money to send me to college. I have read countless letters in your column complaining about siblings and have listened to the complaints of my friends about theirs. I knew it was totally on me to make decisions about my parents’ health as they became unable to do so, with no arguments from siblings. So for your readers out there who are thinking of stopping after one child, I say good idea. -- Only Child in Massachusetts Dear Child: We are glad you have embraced your status. But for every person who is happy to be an only child, you will find others who could not imagine their lives without their loving siblings. Granted, people complain about their relatives, and when it comes to advice columns, you are more likely to read about problems. We know that siblings can drive you crazy -- so can spouses and parents. But a good relationship with a brother or sister can be a source of comfort throughout life. Dear Annie: “A Loving and Lonely Grandma” said her teenage granddaughter avoids her because of her raspy voice. At least one of the parents is complicit in the girl’s behavior. I can understand her being embarrassed. Teenagers can be embarrassed by your breathing. But sometime in the distant past, her parents should have stopped the behavior, saying, “How would you feel if someone treated you like that because you had a different voice?” It’s a teaching moment. -- S.B.

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Avalanche triggers slide, blocking Highway 16 near B.C.-Alberta border C ANADIAN PRESS
VALEMOUNT, B.C. — No vehicles were caught under a large avalanche that rolled over Highway 16 and blocked off traffic on Monday near Mount Robson on the Alberta-B.C.. boundary, said RCMP. The 400-metre-wide slide of snow and debris came down at about 9:30 in the morning. Initially, RCMP said they weren’t sure if any vehicles were under the heavy, packed snow. Greg Bruce, district operations manager with the Transportation Ministry, said they have confirmed no vehicles were caught by the slide and no one was injured. However, RCMP said that a person in a pickup truck did attempt to get through the slide and became stuck in the debris and packed snow. No detours were available to get around the slide. Bruce said an avalanche technician was over at the slide assessing the potential danger Monday afternoon. Avalanche control was expected to begin immediately after the assessment. “The area has received 50 to
60 centimetres of snow over the last three days,’’ he said in an interview. “Snowpack levels at our Robson weather station, which is really close to where the avalanche took place, is sitting at a higher level than we’ve seen it in the last 20 years at this time.’’ The heavy snow over the weekend was followed by a deluge of heavy rain Monday. “Conditions deteriorated rapidly,’’ Bruce said. Flagger crews were at both ends of the slide, and in Tete Jaune, McBride, Valemount and Jasper, Alta. Highway 1 is also closed indefinitely due to the avalanche danger, and Bruce said he cannot guess when it will be reopened. Canadian Avalanche Centre forecaster Eirik Sharp said the most dangerous areas are currently parts of the Sea-to-Sky highway on B.C.’s south coast, and the Columbia Mountain region in the Interior. While the danger of natural avalanches has subsided since the weekend, backcountry enthusiasts should be wary of the

heightened threat of human-triggered slides, Sharp said from Revelstoke. “People are going to be chomping at the bit,’’ he said. “Riding conditions across the province haven’t been very good until this point and on the surface now with this good load of snow, things are looking really good.’’ However, weak layers of snow from a snowfall in early December have created a hidden danger for people enticed by fresh snow, Sharp said. “Until we get more evidence that those layers are settling out and being less of a problem, conservative decision-making is definitely going to be the best strategy for staying safe in the backcountry, and avoiding large open terrain,’’ he said. “It’s kind of like crossing a mine field right now. On a slope there are weak points where your likelihood to trigger an avalanche is increased. “You could be lucky and you could run through the mine field and not touch one of them, but if you were to step on one of those mines, the consequences are going to be significant.’’
Air Canada charges Alberta soldier with PTSD for service dog C ANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — An Alberta soldier with post-traumatic stress disorder says she’s disappointed Air Canada wouldn’t allow her dog on board a plane as a service animal. Sgt. Shirley Jew says the airline told her PTSD isn’t recognized as a disability that requires a service dog. She says staff told her she’d have to travel with her dog as a pet — for a $50 fee. Air Canada has apologized in a statement, calling the matter a misunderstanding. It says it allows trained service animals for customers with disabilities, if they are confirmed by a doctor’s note.
