Cranbrook curler to officiate at 2014 Paralympics SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

A Cranbrook curling enthusiast will be an umpire at the 2014 Sochi Paralympics. Donna Butler will travel to Russia from March 3 to 17 to volunteer as an umpire for the wheelchair curling events – about 14 games, Butler said. “Each game I’m assigned to two teams to make sure everything goes well for those teams on the ice,” she told the Townsman. “We’re busy. There’s two games a day plus there’s practice ice and late night practice.” Butler is an umpire for Curl B.C., the Canadian Curling Association and the World Curling Federation. She has been involved in curling for longer than 30 years,

and it goes without saying that she is passionate about the sport. “It’s a gentleman’s sport. They shake hands before they start; they shake hands before they finish. And they look like sometimes they’re not that happy with each other but they hang out together after and they sit down and have a drink or supper together.” Butler has been an umpire at seven or eight world championships, she said, a role that has taken her to Korea twice, the Czech Republic, and all over Canada. Later this year she will travel to Beijing, China, as an umpire, and hopes to go to Japan in the same capacity next year.

Man found dead in Kelowna was from Cranbrook JENNIFER SMITH Kelowna Capital News

He was a father and reputedly a hard worker. Originally from Cranbrook, he is also being described as a pretty tough 32-year-old man, according to friends posting on his Facebook memorial page. But something happened to Christopher Ausman in the early hours of Saturday that RCMP cannot explain, as yet.

A police officer found the young man’s deceased body in a pool of his own blood on a Rutland sidewalk, and yet his death is not officially being called a murder. “We want to gather as much information as possible. The circumstances certainly are suspicious and once we can provide a label such as homicide, or not, then we’ll go to that next step,” said Const. Kris Clark, Kelowna RCMP spokesman,

in a press conference held outside the detachment Monday morning. “…We are left with very few other circumstances, yes,” Clark admitted, but he would go no further. Ausman’s lifeless body was spotted in the 100 block of Highway 33 near to where it intersects with Rutland Road at 2:06 a.m. by an officer who was just driving through the area. The stretch houses the Cadillac Lounge

strip club, the Olympia Greek Taverna Restaurant, a jewellery store and a vacant storefront. Just up the street is a 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station. Police have done interviews and received tips from several members of the public and there are video surveillance tapes from the surrounding businesses. Ausman’s personal Facebook account shows a man

with near 900 friends and a life that included a young daughter. He is originally from Cranbrook. The memorial page set up by friends and family continues to collect photos, videos and comments. “Well, I sure as hell hope someone in the world today had triplet baby boys to try and make up for the loss of this great man! We’re gonna need at least three hearts to balance the huge heart that

Chris had,” wrote Trevor Wicheruk. “The other side must be having one hell of a good time now that the life of the party has arrived,” wrote Jayna Colins. Police will not comment on whether a weapon was found in the vicinity. A dog team was called in immediately and officers could be seen combing over the scene all day Saturday.

Butler set for Sochi experience Continued from page 1 A retired health care worker, Butler was an on-ice volunteer at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and a game umpire at the 2010 Paralympics. “People don’t believe that we all volunteer to do this. But that’s the only way that you can sustain most sports is to have good volunteers and people who are willing to do it,” said Butler. “I work with some really great people who do the wheelchair and the men’s and ladies and juniors. There are a lot of really good officials in Canada and now in Europe. “You meet people from all over the world and you become friends.” The wheelchair curling athletes have an extra challenge: there is no sweeping in their event. “The ice is a bit keener and their rocks aren’t as sharp; they’re not textured as much so they don’t curl as much

as they do in regular curling,” said Butler. “That all has to be taken into consideration when they play the sport – that they don’t have any sweeping.” Wheelchair athletes in particular are grateful for the volunteers that help run the game. “They are just appreciative of the time that people put in,” said Butler. “I think they realize that they wouldn’t have something like this without all these volunteers.” Butler travelled to Sochi last February to test the curling facility, and was impressed by the Olympic venues. “The figure skating stadium is just incredible. It’s all ceramic tiles on the outside; it looks like a big wave. They are all beautiful.” Her family is concerned about her safety at the Paralympics, but Butler is fairly confident that she won’t be affected by terrorist attacks during her stay in Sochi.

Donna Butler is pictured volunteering at the 2009 World Women’s Curling Championship in Gangneung, South Korea. Butler is bound for Sochi to officiate at the 2014 Winter Paralympics. “I think if anything is going to happen, it’s going to happen at the Olympics,” she said.

Local musicians to jam for ‘Jenna’ F o r t h e To w n s m a n

On Saturday, February 1, an incredible pool of talent will come together for an evening of entertainment in support of Jenna Homeniuk. Jenna is a 15-year-old Kimberley girl who has been fighting leukaemia for the past 18 months. Although there have been numerous fundraising campaigns and events for which the family is deeply appreciative and grateful, the challenges are ongoing with Jenna facing another round of chemo, and then a second bone marrow transplant. The financial pressure continues and our community is once again reaching out to help them. The Good Ol’ Goats will headline the evening with additional performances by 60 Hertz, Sheva and the Rosie Brown Band. The Goats are from Cranbrook and made national headlines last year in their bid for the Canada-wide Searchlight competition, where they competed against 3,000 talented groups/artists and came second place nationally.

60 Hertz are a well-known group of musicians from Kimberley known for their high-energy original music. Van and Shelagh Redecopp – “Sheva” – are a well known duo who captivate audiences with their vocal harmonies, coupled with violin and guitar. The Rosie Brown Band is the East Kootenay’s own all female bluegrass sensation. As an added bonus to the evening, GOT Adventure’s Adam Buck and Brenda Birrell are providing a one-day dogsled tour for two, complete with gourmet lunch. There will be a live auction for this unique opportunity during the show. The concert will be held at McKim Theatre, Saturday, February 1 at 7:30 p.m. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for a pre-show get together. All the bands, suppliers and technical crew have kindly donated their time and talent in support of Jenna. One hundred per cent of the proceeds will go to the Jenna Homeniuk Trust Fund.

“All the stadiums are in the one area. The villages are there, the media centre is there,

the hotels are all in the one cluster. So you get into that cluster and it will be quite secure.”

The 2014 Sochi Paralympic Winter Games run from March 7 to 16, with wheelchair

curling events on March 8 to 15. Some events will be televised on CBC and Sportsnet.

Review looks at Cranbrook traffic A r n e P e t rys h e n Townsman Staff

Cranbrook will soon have the results of a traffic control review. The review is being carried out by McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd, in conjunction with ICBC, and is looking at sign and pavement markings in the city. “We’ve been talking a lot about ICBC doing some studies for us regarding some roads,” said CAO Wayne Staudt. “I think first of all we should understand that this is not a full road audit. What they are doing is they are going to provide us with a couple of studies dealing with line painting and signs within the road system, so it’s not a full-blown road audit. We have one report ready and expect the other report shortly.” Once both reports are available, Staudt

said city staff will summarize them and report back to council. Coun. Denise Pallesen said the Cranbrook in Motion committee has seen the first report and is awaiting the second report as well. The first document is a sign and paint manual that gives standards for the city related to paint and signs for the road system. The second document is a traf-

Diana J. Scott had asked about a ICBC safety audit in the prior meeting. “I’m prepared to wait for these reports,” Scott said, “but given the number of letters

that we get from the public with regards to our crosswalks and vehicle pedestrian interactions, I’m wondering if we couldn’t make an initial inquiry with ICBC to see what would the costs be to have a safety audit, just to explore that initially.” Staudt said the city could contact ICBC to see what the cost would be and then bring it back to council as an administrative update.

Construction down in 2013 in Cranbrook

Angus Davis “We’re certainly down from last year for building permits is-

sued,” Staudt said. “In 2012, we had 253 permits issued; this year it was down to 207 building permits being issued.” Total construction figures were down by a third, in 2013. They were at $19.6 million compared to $30.7 million in 2012. Mayor Wayne Stetski noted that some of the decrease on the industrial side had to do with several million invested in 2012 into the spray irrigation facilities. Construction of residential buildings was $12.3 million in 2013, compared to $13.9 mil-

lion in 2012. “The residential is almost the same,” said Coun. Diana J. Scott. “It was the commercial and industrial that was different, so at least with regards to housing development and those types of permits, that seems to be fairly stable.” Coun. Angus Davis worried that the city re-

lied too much on that aspect. “We’re reliant on the housing market,” Davis said. “The interest rates in the housing business are pretty low, so this makes it attractive to people being able to borrow the money. The rates cannot be guaranteed and there are signs that there are indeed cracks in our economy.”

Davis said he reads about factories closing, mines shutting down and opposition to what industry wants to do in this country. “That’s going to have an effect,” he said. “Right now if we depend on the housing industry with its low interest rate, we have to be prepared for a change — and I think that as we go along we

B.C. promotes search for new mines Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is aiming to reverse a slide in mineral exploration investment that has come after world metal prices peaked and then declined to a 10-year average level in the past two years.

Premier Christy Clark and Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett helped open the annual Association for Mineral Exploration B.C.’s conference in Vancouver Monday with a pair of announcements.

Clark told delegates the province’s mining exploration tax credit will be extended for another year in the B.C. budget to be tabled in February. That is expected to provide $10 million for exploration. Geoscience BC, an

P U B L I C H E A R I NG N O T I C E Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook is considering adopting “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3789, 2014”. Proposed amendments will be added to several sections of “City of Cranbrook Zoning Bylaw No. 3737, 2012”. The purpose of the zoning amendment is to establish Medical Marihuana Grow Operation (MMGO) as a permitted use in the M-2 - Light Industrial Zone and to establish regulations for MMGO use and development where permitted in the City, in anticipation of new Federal regulations concerning the licensing of MMGOs. The proposed amendment will: • add Medical Marihuana Grow Operation (MMGO) as a permitted use to the M-2 Light Industrial Zone; • add new definitions for Medical Marihuana Grow Operation (MMGO), Cultivation, and Greenhouse Building; • establish regulations for the use and development of MMGOs. New regulations for MMGOs will include the following: • proposed MMGOs must meet all Federal, Provincial, and Municipal regulations, and notify local RCMP and Fire Services in writing of a license application; • MMGO operations must be fully contained within an enclosed building, which excludes a greenhouse building, and which does not include a non-MMGO use; • a 100 metre minimum setback for MMGOs in the M-2 Zone from a residential zone, group day care, playground, school, or park use; • a minimum 2.0 hectare parcel size and a 40 metre setback from property lines for MMGOs on lands designated Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) or for a permitted “farm use”; • an applicant to provide details of proposed discharges to air, sanitary and storm sewer, including plans and details of the ventilation/filtration system for discharges to the outside.

industry research organization started by the province in 2005, also released results of its latest aerial survey to identify new mineral potential in the B.C. Interior. “Every time GeoscienceBC does a project like this, in the ensuing three or four years you see a significant bump in exploration activity in the area where the survey was done,” Bennett said in an interview. He added that much of B.C.’s Interior is covered by glacial till from the ice age that ended 10,000 years ago, making traditional mineral prospecting impossible over large areas. He said the tax credit is similar to what B.C. provides for deep drilling and other unconventional natural gas exploration, but on a smaller scale. It supports junior mining companies and is not a subsidy to established corporations, he said. Clark told the mining conference that the government is halfway to its election commitment of 17 new and expanded mines in B.C., including the new Mt. Milligan copper mine and others that have received permits. She also referred to the need for a review of B.C.’s environmental assessment system. “My belief is that the process over the years has gotten less certain, less predictable, and probably not as efficient as people would like,” Clark told reporters after her speech.

LE • REC YC

The fourth quarter building permits issued by the city were comparable in 2013 and 2012, though the year to date figures show that 2013 was not as fruitful in construction as the year before. The value of all construction in Cranbrook in the October to December 2013 period, was $5 million, about $120,000 less than in 2012. However, the year to date data has a different story, as CAO Wayne Staudt pointed out in council on Jan. 20.

“Right now if we depend on the housing industry with its low interest rate, we have to be prepared for a change — and I think that as we go along we become comfortable with the status quo.”

Trish Barnes

B.C.’s showcase ecosystem restoration partnership has released a pivotal document that reports out on 15 years of activity and results. Last week, the Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program presented the first copies of its Blueprint for Action 2013 to Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, and Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines. Thomson’s ministry is a key ER Program partner and funder, and uses the pioneering Trench program as a model for ecosystem restoration elsewhere in the province. Also last week, directors of the Rocky Mountain Trench Natural Resources Society, a founding partner in the ER Program, met with Bennett to brief him on the Blueprint’s contents, and discuss ways the provincial government can continue to support restoration. Kootenay East MLA Bennett has championed the program since he was first elected in 2001. “Restoring our region’s

The Trench ER Program is a cooperative effort by 30 agencies — representing government, industry, First Nations and the public — to restore fire-maintained ecosystems degraded by fire suppression and forest ingrowth. The program operates on Crown land, First Nations reserves, provin-

cial and federal parks, and private conservation properties. Blueprint for Action 2013 is a description of how program partners have restored many thousands of hectares over the past 15 years. Using photos, maps and articles by restoration practitioners and scientists, the report delves into the fire ecology of the southern Rocky Mountain Trench, the life cycle of a restoration project, results from project monitoring and plans for the future. Comparative photos from 1883, 1906 and 2013 showing dramatic changes in forest and grassland landscapes are one of the highlights. “We’ve learned so much in our first 15 years,” said Randy Harris, the report’s technical editor. “The next 15 years is our chance to use the science we’ve learned, our operational know-how and our people-power to make the program that much better.” Print and digital editions of Blueprint for Action 2013 can be ordered or downloaded at trench-er.com. The complete 52-page report and a 4-page summary report are available.

Foster creativity in your child Niki Sinhart

Creativity is not only essential for artists, but for many other realms of life. Creative people are able to tackle challenges in new and unconventional ways; skills that are important in math, science and any situation that involves innovative problem solving abilities. Even if you think you are completely uncreative yourself, you can foster creativity in your child and it might even save you money. A stick, for example, can entertain children for a long time, because the possibilities of what it represents are endless. That’s why the stick was added to the “National Toy Hall of Fame” in 2008. Often expensive, less creative toys become boring to children because they only do one thing. When providing children with resources to express themselves creatively, the most important resource is time. Children need a lot of unstructured, child-directed time to create and use their imagination. Refrain from directing their play or expecting a finished product, but rejoice in the process itself. Don’t reward children for their creativity. Sometimes rewarding children will make them less likely to do the activity for the sake of the activity and start doing it for the reward. Don’t get too involved yourself. Don’t start gluing or painting on your child’s picture or tell your child what they should make or how they should do it. Don’t judge – instead encourage your child to tell you about his/her creations. There are many ways to foster creative thinking in your children. • Involve your children in solving prob-

lems. Encourage them to brainstorm ideas, without judging any of them, and then find a suitable solution. • Embrace mistakes as learning opportunities. Instead of punishing your children for mistakes they make, involve your children in finding ways to solve their problems. Share the mistakes you’ve made with your children and laugh about your own mistakes to show that it’s not the end of the word to make a mistake – it’s a learning opportunity. • Children who are afraid of failure and judgment will curb their creative thinking. • Encourage independent thinking. It’s okay if your children disagree with you. See if they’ll be able to find good arguments to convince you of their opinion. Have a rich discussion where you learn from each other. • Ask open-ended questions that have more than one right answer to stimulate critical, independent thinking. Like: “What’s your favourite...?” or “How do you feel about...?” Asking questions that don’t have one right answer encourages children to respond creatively without being afraid of giving the wrong answer. • Celebrate innovation and creativity. Visit the library and look for books about creative people in various areas of life: science, music, visual art. Encourage reading for pleasure! • Innovation is all around us. Visit the farmer’s market and see what some local artists have created. Listen to music. Express yourself through dance. • Decorate cupcakes. Go on a nature walk and collect items for a collage. Take pictures. Talk about ideas. Have fun! Fostering children’s creativity can be done with inexpensive or recycled items.

Here are some ideas for materials to supply your child with to encourage creativity: Arts/Crafts • Supply children with scissors, glue, paper, washable markers, crayons or washable paint. • You can also add materials from nature such as leaves or shells. • Make prints with sponges, a potato with a shape cut into it, leaves, etc. • Make 3D designs with plasticine, clay or play dough. • Supply children with different sized cardboard boxes to make sculptures and maybe add some paper plates and paper towel rolls. • Brown paper bags can be made into puppets and various other things. • Children love to add sparkles, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, pompoms and feathers. Dramatic/Imaginary Play • Blankets, sheets and furniture can be used for building play forts • A square scarf can be made into a skirt, turban, cape, etc. • Pots and pans and other safe kitchen items can be used as musical instruments or to pretend cook. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!

Tug of war for transportation taxes Premier Christy Clark has set off a storm of protest by imposing a referendum on new Lower Mainland transportation improvements, timed with the province-wide municipal elections on Nov. 15. Even if you don’t live in Metro Vancouver, you’re not immune from this long-running saga. Provincial and federal governments use your tax dollars for the big stuff, including the SkyTrain Canada Line to Vancouver airport and the South Fraser Perimeter Road, a new truck route to port facilities at Tsawwassen. Clark has promised a bridge replacement for the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River, which may or may not be tolled like the Port Mann bridge. The patchwork of Lower Mainland tolls is a growing political liability for the B.C. Liberal government, and if further tolls are avoided, major works elsewhere in the province may be delayed as the budget is eaten up by the big cities. Clark announced the Massey tunnel replacement in a September 2012 speech to the Union of B.C. Municipalities. In the same speech, she also pledged to complete the four-laning of the last 240 km of the Trans-Canada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border. That’s one of the most mountainous stretches of high-

way in Canada, and the province’s cost was estimated at the time to be $650 million over 10 years. Time will tell if that promise is kept. Transportation Minister Todd Stone inherited the mess left behind by former minister Kevin Falcon, who took transit authority away from Metro Vancouver politicians. He appointed a board of exBC VIEWS perts and set up a toothless “mayors’ council” to rubTom ber-stamp their decisions, Fletcher after forcing through the Canada Line ahead of a long-promised transit extension to the east. Local politicians wrangled for years over that eastern extension. They finally settled on surface light rail, only to be overruled by the province, which wanted the vastly more expensive SkyTrain. The latest rebuke to the mayors’ council was when they decided not to proceed with a costly new electronic fare card system. Falcon reversed that one after taking a junket to London and falling in love with their “Oyster card” subway system. All the glitches from TransLink’s new “Compass card” program will be encountered this summer, just before those mayors go to the polls to face voter wrath. Speaking of reversals, Stone is now demanding the mayors come up with their

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

list of priorities for new projects. They are expected to believe their choices won’t be overruled again. Stone correctly notes that Vancouver wants SkyTrain on Broadway, Surrey wants new surface light rail, and other Lower Mainland communities want new road and bridge works. Local governments have a long history of parochial squabbling, getting their pet projects done and then suddenly developing the urge to rein in spending once it’s time to dig deep for their neighbours. Lower Mainland taxpayers are weary and confused by all this reorganizing and in-fighting. Many likely believe that it is their regional government that has imposed the Port Mann bridge tolls, when in fact that is a provincial highway project over which they had no say. Clark has made it clear there is no going back from a November referendum on new regional transportation financing tools, a promise explicit in the B.C. Liberal election platform. She hopes it will increase the dismal voter turnout for local votes. If it does that, it may be worth it. Right now, civic elections are dismal affairs, with voter turnout and awareness of local issues drifting from bad to worse. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press

Emma Damm, Jamie Casselman and Ethan Blair are all headed to the B.C. Winter Games in Mission in February.

Skiers set for B.C. Games Cranbrook and Kimberley will be well represented at the B.C. Winter Games as athletes in various sports prepare to give their best in the field of competition when the event kicks off in Mission in February. Local skiers Emma Damm, Jamie Casselman and Ethan Blair are part of the 10-member alpine ski team that will represent the Kootenay zone during the Games. All three are members of the Kimberley Alpine Team, coming out of the Nancy Greene program. They are coached by Ethan’s dad, Jon, and have been very active on the slopes at races this season. Damm, 13, is looking forward to her B.C. Games, not just for the racing, but for for the atmosphere as well. “The experience and getting to race with a bunch of other people,” she said, on what she’ll

be excited about when she’s on the slopes. The ski team competes in alpine racing, giant slalom, slalom and skier cross. Damm said the giant slalom is her specialty. “[It’s] funner, less technical, and more about the speed,” Damm said. Ethan beta racing when he was young under the tutelage of Jon, who himself is a former ski racer. “My dad brought me into it and I really liked it,” Blair said. Like Damm and Blair, Casselman was a part of the Nancy Greene ski program and decided to get into racing. Casselman’s parents knew he had a future in ski racing when he was very young, because he would set up empty milk cartons in the living room and pretend to run a course on a pair of plastic skis. All three came out of zone qualifiers in Fernie a couple

weeks ago, booking their ticket to the Winter Games after their best three finishes in six races put them in the top 10. Casselman especially made an impact during the zone races, winning five of those six runs. He is a veteran of both the summer and winter games in the past and is looking forward to getting back into provincial competition, especially in the slalom event. “It’s fast and you have to make quick decisions because the gate’s coming at you fast,” he said. Like Casselman, Blair has also been to the B.C. Games and is excited to compete in the relatively new sport of ski cross. “Looking forward to the skier cross because it’s going to be with multiple people on the course at once and it’s going to make it more exciting,” he said. The games begin on Feb. 20th, with Mission as the host city. Skiing events will be hosted by Hemlock Valley Resort.

NEW YORK - Patrick Patterson stole Deron Williams’ inbounds pass and made the go-ahead jumper with 6 seconds left, and the Toronto Raptors stopped a fivegame winning streak by the Brooklyn Nets for the second time this month with a 104-103 victory Monday night. Brooklyn had a threepoint lead with 17 seconds left behind Paul Pierce in his best game with the Nets, but John Salmons scored on a drive with 12 seconds remaining before Brooklyn took its last timeout to move the ball into the

frontcourt. Patterson stole the pass and fed Kyle Lowry, who got it back to Patterson for his jumper. Pierce was well off on a final attempt. Lowry finished with 31 points and seven assists for the Raptors, who moved 2 1/2 games ahead of the Nets for the Atlantic Division lead. Pierce scored 33 points, making seven 3-pointers in a strong bounce-back performance after going just 2 for 10 in his emotional return to Boston on Sunday. He had the Nets in position to win after scoring their last nine points before Toronto

REGINA - A flag is now flying at Regina city hall to support the first Saskatchewan-born player to compete in the Super Bowl. Punter Jon Ryan will be on the Seattle Seahawks side of the field when they take on the Denver Broncos in the National Football League championship this weekend.

Regina Mayor Michael Fougere (fooZHAYR’) and members of Ryan’s family raised the flag in the icy cold this morning. Fougere said it’s important to support Ryan in the biggest game of his life. Ryan was born in Regina and played college football for the University of Regina Rams. He began his professional career with the

Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. Ryan’s brother, Steve, and his mother, Barb, were among the family members that helped raise the navyand-white flag Monday. They will also be among 15 family and friends travelling to MetLife Stadium in the New York area. “I still haven’t wrapped my head

around the fact that (the Seahawks) are going to be there,” said Steve Ryan. “It’s going to be incredible.” He said his brother was well aware of the flag-raising and good wishes being sent his way. “Through social media, phone calls, texts, he’s just felt overwhelmed with the support (he’s felt from Saskatchewan).”

stole it. The stunning turnaround deflated the crowd at Barclays Center for a back-and-forth game that drew a visit from several Seattle Seahawks, who will hold their Super Bowl media day Tuesday at the Nets’ last home, the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Richard Sherman and Bobby Wagner grabbed a baseline seat in the first half, while Russell Wilson and other players sat above in a private box. Jonas Valanciunas had 20 points and 13 rebounds for the Raptors, who played without injured leading scorer DeMar DeRozan.

Ice alumni named to AHL All-Star team TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice alumni Jason Jaffray and Brayden McNabb have been named to the 2014 AHL All-Star classic, which will be hosted by the St. John’s IceCaps in Newfoundland in February. The All-Star game will feature the AHL talent facing off against Färjestad BK, one of the top professional teams in the Swedish Hockey League, in a two-day

event on Feb. 12, 2014. Jaffray currently serves as captain of the St. John’s IceCaps, which is the affiliate for the Winnipeg Jets, while McNabb currently suits up for the Rochester Americans, the farm team for the Buffalo Sabres. McNabb has split his time between the AHL and the NHL this year, appearing in 12 games in the show, while playing 22 games with Rochester.

CARRIERS WANTED

Jaffray has had a long career since graduating from the WHL in 2002. Drifting in and out of the NHL, Jaffray has played the majority of his career in the AHL with a number of teams, before ending up in St. John’s with the IceCaps. Jaffray, who wears the ‘C’ for the IceCaps, will also don the same letter to lead the AHL stars against Färjestad BK, as he makes his third career appearance in an all-star capacity.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m 46 years old, college educated, with no children. I recently celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary. It’s not what I would call a good marriage. My husband occasionally has fits of anger and has been verbally abusive. More than eight years ago, I had a miscarriage. My husband wanted to keep trying. He repeatedly has said that he can’t imagine a life without children. I told him that having children is not going to happen, and that if he wants a divorce over this, I won’t fight him. He is welcome to find someone else to have children with. What I did not tell him is that soon after the miscarriage, I started taking birth control pills and continue to do so. I feel guilty that I might have misled him in that he may think there is a chance for children, although I would hope that at my age he would be past that. My question is: Should I tell him about the birth control? I’m not sure what it would accomplish. I’m afraid of his reaction to finding out, and divorce terrifies me. -- Torn Between What Is Right and What Is Safe Dear Torn: Regardless of what you may have told your husband eight years ago, if you allowed him to have the impression that you were willing to get pregnant again, then obviously, you have been dishonest. This was grossly unfair to him. But you cannot undo the past, and with your husband’s anger issues, we can understand why there seems no point in telling him now. But a marriage that isn’t good to begin with is not likely to get better without professional assistance. Decide whether divorce terrifies you so much that you are willing to live like this for another 40 years. Dear Annie: My husband’s sister chooses not to take turns hosting family get-togethers. She has a beautiful home, but claims she does not have any “social living space.” She lives next door to her parents, so either they host, or we do it at our home. Her parents even host her children’s birthday parties. She just gets to show up. There is a lot of time, energy, planning, preparation and cost associated with having everyone over, and I feel she should reciprocate. However, my husband and in-laws do not see this as a problem. Am I asking too much? -- Olympia, Wash. Dear Olympia: You are right that your sister-in-law should reciprocate, but it doesn’t matter. She isn’t going to do it. Your choice is simply which get-togethers you host and which belong to your in-laws. If you remove your sister-in-law from the hosting equation, you will be less resentful. You can cut back on the number of times you do this or ask your sister-in-law to reciprocate by cooking a dish or bringing the appetizers, but you cannot force her to open her home. Dear Annie: I want to thank “Still Suffering” for the gut-wrenching letter she wrote about being abused by her uncle. Any of us who have lived for years with the feelings of guilt and shame caused by being molested by a relative could have written that letter. When I was 10, I was molested by my older brother for several years. I am now in my 70s and have never fully recovered from the damage it caused. For years, I kept my filthy little secret. Last year, my brother died, and I did not go to his memorial service. Since then, I have told several family members. None of them was surprised, and all were supportive of me. Although I am overwhelmed with the love and support, I will take this scar to my grave. I hope that others who are victims of molesters will seek help and speak up early and not wait for the pervert to be out of their lives forever. -- Feeling Better Now Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35. 8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns. 9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium. SOURCE: Newspaper Association of America
