Yes, the staff at the Cranbrook Daily Townsman knows how to spell — and the Word of the Day is Literacy. The Daily Townsman, Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy, the Cranbrook Public Library and School District 5 all banded together to present and promote Family Literacy Day this week. Watch these pages in future issues for our student Creative Writing Project entries.

Cranbrook celebrates Family Literacy Day with recognition for a community literacy champion and students who excel in creative writing SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
Literacy was the true winner on Monday night when community members, students and families gathered to celebrate Family Literacy Day in Cranbrook. Organized by the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL), the Family Literacy event was held on Monday, Jan. 27 at the Manual Training Centre in Cranbrook. The evening combined fun events to encourage literacy with recognition for students who entered the Creative Writing Contest, and the awarding of the inaugural Community Literacy Champion. To her surprise, Daily Townsman publisher Karen Johnston was named 2013’s Community Literacy Champion. Johnston said she was honoured to receive the award.

The Cranbrook Skating Club turns 60 this year, and a gala celebration is being held to mark the occasion. While there had been organized skating in Cranbrook since the early years, 1954 was the year the Cranbrook Skating Club (formerly the Cranbrook Figure Skating Club) became affiliated with Skate Canada, said Debbie Mandryk, who is producing the upcoming show. Hence, the 60th anniversary falls this year. “The Club hasn’t had an ice show for several years,” Mandryk said. “So we decided to hold one this year in conjunction with the anniversary.” On Saturday, March 1, the 150 members of the Cranbrook club will be joined by skaters from Kimberley, Invermere, Elkford and Fernie. Almost 200 skaters from around the region will take part in a magnificent ice show at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook. The theme is “Cele-

“Especially in front of all of the children who did their creative writing projects. It was pretty special because each of those kids got up to receive their certificates. You could see them beaming with pride. They were a very gracious audience when other people win – they were just as excited as I was. I raised it like the Stanley Cup and got cheers from one of the boys.” CBAL community literacy coordinator Katherine Hough said Johnston was nominated for her work promoting literacy in Cranbrook. “It was hard. We had some really good nominations, but Karen just stood out,” said Hough, who added that the Community Literacy Advisory Committee was responsible for sorting through the nominations. Johnston was nominated by Riley Wilcox at the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation. “Karen is very supportive of the community,” Wilcox wrote in her nomination. “Her energy and enthusiasm are amazing. As publisher of the Daily Townsman, Karen championed the Reach A Reader campaign in our community. This is no surprise as Karen gives selflessly of her time and talent. The region could use more champions like her.” The Reach A Reader campaign is a collaboration between CBAL and Black Press in the Kootenays to raise awareness for literacy. In two of its four years, the campaign has raised the most money in Cranbrook. “It’s not just the newspaper spearheading it — it’s also the great people in this community who jump on board and takes that where it needs to be,” said Johnston. Johnston said that she is inspired to promote literacy because of her own experience learning to read. “As a child, I struggled as a reader. Truly, it was some of the teachers and organizations that I went through as a child that turned me into love reading,” said Johnston. “It was easy to say I don’t
want to read, it’s too difficult, I’m not enjoying it. I was far more interested in being out playing as a child. But it was all of those organizations that really made me realize there was a whole new world out there once you had the ability and the confidence to read. I just want to pay that forward.” Johnston began her career as proofrunner at the St. Albert Gazette in 1988. During her 15 years at that publication, Johnston progressed to advertising sales manager then marketing manager. She moved to the Red Deer Express as marketing director from 2003 until 2007, when she relocated with her family to Cranbrook to become sales manager at the Daily Townsman. She was promoted to publisher of the Townsman in 2010. The Townsman and CBAL partnered to launch the Creative Writing Contest this year, in collaboration with School District 5 and the Cranbrook Public Library. At Monday’s event, students who were nominated by their schools for the entries received certificates and prizes for their work. Students from Pinewood, TM Roberts, Gordon Terrace, Parkland and Mount Baker all submitted pieces for the contest with a total of 23 submissions. “It was absolutely wonderful. I was really impressed,” said Hough. The standout was a 12-chapter book written by Jack Strom, a Grade 5 student at Gordon Terrace. “That’s the kid who blew everybody away,” said Hough. Two principals also attended the event to support their students: Karen Giles from Pinewood and Michelle Sartorel from Gordon Terrace. “What was really neat was to see the parents who were so supportive of the munchkins who came,” added Hough. The nominations in the Creative Writing Contest will be published in the Daily Townsman over the coming months.

Kimberley cull to begin February 1 Contractor hired to remove up to 30 deer from Marysville and Chapman Camp/Blarchmont
C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin
A contractor has been chosen and the cull of up to 15 deer in Marysville and 15 in Lower Blarchmont/Chapman Camp will begin on Saturday, February 1 and end by March 15, 2014. The Urban Deer Committee recommended the cull of deer from neighbourhoods where complaints of aggressive deer had been greatest and Council voted to go ahead last fall. This week a contractor was chosen and the cull will go ahead beginning Saturday.
The BC Deer Protection Society wrote to Kimberley City Council this week regarding the cull. The Deer Protection Society was urging Council not to pick the contractor who carried out the cull in Elkford. Elkford’s cull was suspended for a week after their contractor violated the terms of the permit by trapping and killing deer in daylight hours. As it turns out, the City has not chosen the same contractor. Winning with what Mayor Ron McRae called the most competitive bid was Wade Jarvis, a Regis-
tered Professional Forester. The cost of culling and processing 30 deer will be under $15,000. The contractor will be provided with training by the Ministry’s Wildlife Veterinarian prior to conducting the cull. An experienced mentor will also be provided. The City is asking residents to contact them through email (info@kimberley.ca) if they would like to have a trap placed in yards in Marysville, Blarchmont or Chapman Camp. However, the City also asks that those interested check with their neighbours first to see if
there is an objection to a trap on their property. As per the permit, no trapping will be permitted during daylight hours. All meat from the cull will be offered to the Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank and/or Street Angels. The Urban Deer Committee has always maintained that a cull is only one part of a multi-pronged approach to population management, which includes hazing, management of attractants such as fruit trees and a bylaw prohibiting the feeding of deer. A hazing trial was conducted in Kimberley last
spring and was deemed successful. However, hazing is not permitted under the B.C. Wildlife Act and McRae says there has been no word from the province on when such a change may occur.

In any event, Trudeau is trying to do lines. Regardless, conventional wisdom says something about the Senate in general, which he says is broken and needs to be the Senate needs to change. Reform sug-
gestions have included having a list of candidates approved by a non-partisan person such as the Governor General. Currently, the Governor General appoints on the advice of the Prime Minister. Term limits have also been suggested. Even — blasphemy! — elected senators. But if you elect, you’re still going with political parties and therefore partisanship continues. The Senate was not set up to be partisan. It was set up to protect regions of the country, to balance out the power of the elected House of Commons, by giving voice to and protecting the rights of Canada’s regions, particularly regions with smaller populations. But it evolved as time went on into partisanship and senators now sit as members of political parties, expected to take advice from their party leaders in the House of Commons. Trudeau’s move could change things somewhat, but all those Senators he just made independents will still sit until they are 75. They are still Liberal by nature and will likely continue to vote with those beliefs despite being miffed by the move by their former leader. Those appointed on Harper’s suggestion over the past decade will also continue to sit until age 75, most likely voting along Conservative lines. The more things change the more they remain the same. The true test of Trudeau’s idea will be this: If at some point, Justin Trudeau does become Prime Minister, who will he suggest for a Senate appointment when the time comes?

Re: Old man, take a look at your facts (B.C. Views, Jan. 22) Well, now Tom Fletcher has done it. He has annoyed, angered, baffled and bored us over the years with his columns. However, to be so condescending and rude about Neil Young’s involvement in the anti-oilsands controversy made me respond. How does he decide which experts’ findings on the environment he judges to be the truth – the whole truth? May I make a suggestion: Fletcher should move to Fort McMurray. Enjoy the scenery!

Young repeats false claims
Re: Old man, take a look at your facts
(B.C. Views, Jan. 22) Thanks to Tom Fletcher’s column, a few more people know the truth. Using lies to sell a point of view robs any movement of credibility. There is no truth by vote; if enough people believe a lie, it’s still a lie. If we citizens want to fight the good fight, we must use the truth and not recursively quote each other’s untruths. Otherwise, the moment our lies are found out, we are discredited. Neil Young, your lies betrayed the movement you claim to support. L. Graves Vancouver

appear to be bringing any clarity to his argument. The fact that similar environmental destruction exists in the U.S. means Canadians should shut up and ignore what goes on in our country? Would Fletcher at least concede that any industrial development of this size comes at a significant cost to the environment? I agree that the oilsands are extremely important to the Canadian economy and provide thousands of high-paying jobs to people across this country, but surely there’s room for a balanced discussion. Perhaps we could start somewhere between shutting it down as Neil Young would prefer or expanding it as fast as humanly possible, the clear choice of the present federal and Alberta governments. If Young’s comments lead to discussions at dinner tables across this country then he did us all a great service. Bob Tanner Campbell River
Greenland’s race for modernity
G
reenland has the highest suicide rate in the world: one in five Greenlanders tries to commit suicide at some point in their lives. Everybody in Greenland (all 56,000 of them) knows this. In fact, everybody knows quite a few people who have tried to commit suicide, and one or two who succeeded. So it is really a good idea to subject this population to an experiment in high-speed cultural and economic change? Greenland is not fully independent: Denmark still controls its defence and foreign affairs, and subsidises the population at the annual rate of about $10,000 per person. But Greenlanders are one of the few aboriginal societies on the planet that is dominant (almost 90 per cent of the population) on a large territory: the world’s biggest island. And it is heading for independence. So the debate in this soon-to-be country is about what to aim for. Do you go on trying to preserve what is left of the old Arctic hunting and fishing culture, although it’s already so damaged and discouraged that it has the highest suicide rate on the planet? Or do you put the pedal to the metal and seek salvation in full modernisation through high-speed economic growth (while keeping your language and what you can of your culture)? What’s remarkable about Greenlandic politics is how aware the players are of their dilemma and their options. “If you want to become rich, it comes at a price,” says Aqqaluk Lynge, one of the founders of the Inuit Ataqatigiit (Community of the People) party that ran the government until recently. Lynge doesn’t want to pay that price, and under the Inuit Ataqatigiit administration all mining was banned in Greenland. Quite apart from the environmental costs of large-scale mining operations, Lynge said, the many thousands of for-
eign workers they would bring in would have a devastating impact on what is already a very fragile Greenlandic culture. But the Siumut (Forward) party won last October’s election, and new Prime Minister Aleqa Hammond sees things very differently. Essentially, she thinks modernisation has gone too far to turn back now. Better to gamble on solving the current huge social problems (like suicide) by enabling everybody to live fully modern, prosperous If you’re no longer Gwynne lives. marginalised and poverty-stricken, you’ll feel betDyer ter about yourself. With this in mind, she has issued more than 120 licenses for mining and petrochemical projects including a huge open-cast iron-ore mine that would ship 15 million tonnes of high-grade iron concentrate a year (mostly to China), drilling platforms for offshore oil and gas exploration, and even mines to produce uranium and rare earths. She has made her choice, and she understands it. In a recent interview with The Guardian while she was visiting Norway, Aleqa Hammond said: “The shock will be profound. But we have faced colonisation, epidemics and modernisation before. The decisions we are making (to open the country up to mining and oil exploitation) will have enormous impact on lifestyles and our indigenous culture. But we always come out on top. We are vulnerable, but we know how to adapt.” Brave words, but few Greenlanders have the technical and managerial skills to get senior jobs in these high-risk, highcost enterprises ($2.5 billion for the iron ore mine alone), and most of them will not want the hard, dirty, dangerous jobs of the workers in the mines and on the rigs. If all goes well, they will no longer depend on the Danish subsidies that currently keep their society afloat, but they will just be shifting to a different source of

subsidies. To the extent that a sense of cultural marginalisation and defeat, and a life without meaningful work, is responsible for the Greenlanders’ problems, it’s hard to see how more money from a different source will help. Or how adding a few tens of thousands of foreign workers from places like China to the social mix will help, either. The epidemic of depression and other psychological illnesses, the rampant alcoholism and drug use, and the tidal wave of suicides that plague the Greenlanders are not unique: almost all the aboriginal peoples of North America, and indeed elsewhere too, have elevated levels of these afflictions. In Canada, for example, the general population experiences a 12 per 100,000 rate of suicides, while aboriginal people in general have double that rate. But the suicide rate among Inuit people in Canada is TEN times as high as it is among the general population — and among Inuit children and teens it is a staggering THIRTY times as high. The Greenlanders live in a different country and have much more control over their lives, but they belong to the same Inuit culture that extends right across the high north from Alaska to Greenland. They also seem to share the same problems at the same heightened intensity, especially as regards suicide. These problems are unlikely to be cured simply by throwing money at them. It could even make matters worse. Aleqa Hammond is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t: leaving the people in their current predicament is not a good choice, but going flat out for modernisation doesn’t feel like such a good option either. It would be a good time to call in the cultural engineers, if such a profession existed. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

Ice win streak ends as Tigers pounce for 6-2 victory TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Just as the Kootenay Ice were getting on a roll, they suffered a setback in Medicine Hat, losing 6-2 to the Tigers on Wednesday night. Ending a four-game winning streak, the Ice gave up three goals in the opening period on the way to a crushing defeat. “We weren’t willing to be competitive in the first 10 minutes against a team that we haven’t played well against in their building and we knew that,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill. “The rest is history.” Six different Tigers players scored for Medicine Hat, while Luke Phip notched a power play goal, extending his point streak to 11 games, while Zak Zborosky tallied the other effort for the Ice. Wyatt Hoflin stopped 28 shots to take the loss in goal for the Ice, while Kootenay put 32 shots on goaltender Tigers tendie Marek Langhamer.
Kootenay lost the special teams battle, giving up three power play goals, but responded on a two man-advantage with Philp’s marker.
Only 1:32 into the first period, Tigers captain Curtis Valk scored, extending his goal streak to eight games. Five minutes later Miles Koules doubled the Medicine Hat lead. Cole Sanford found the back of the net on an odd-man rush late in the frame, putting the Ice down 3-0 after 20 minutes. “They outcompeted us in every area for the puck and we didn’t move the puck from our defencemen to our for-
wards quick enough,” continued McGill. “We didn’t read the rush properly in a couple instances, defensively, and the next thing you know, it’s 3-0.” The floodgates remained open in the second period, with Trevor Cox tallying with a breakaway with the man-advantage and Chad Labelle made it 5-0 on another powerplay effort. The Ice finally responded in the third period, when Philp blasted a slap shot past Langhamer with a two-man advantage. Zborosky scored in the second half of the frame, but Anthony Ast answered back with the third power play goal with just under five minutes remaining in the game. Kootenay returns home for a set of home games this weekend, hosting the Prince Albert Raiders on Friday, before the Calgary Hitmen come to town on Saturday evening.

Whether it was a gift sent to EKFH or a donation made at the Ice office or at the recent Denham Ford “Shoot for the Truck” event hockey fans showed their true generosity by making total donations of $5,322.17 to the Starlite Campaign in tribute to the talented player. In return at the February 1, 2014 home game, East Kootenay Foundation for Health will show its appreciation to the Kootenay ICE and all the players (past and current) who have supported the foundation by offering the first

With a limited number available the unique item will be given out in an orderly fashion with a line-up of first come first available bobble heads based on one per person per paid ticket. The lineup and distribution will take place at the former Kootenay Collectibles location at Western Financial Place. Volunteers from EKFH, the Kootenay Ice Fan Club and the Knights of Columbus will be on hand to guide fans through the process. The attention may be on #23 but in true fash-
ion the Kootenay Ice organization, its many players and its fans have long stood behind health care and the East Kootenay Foundation for Health. To date, including these recent gifts, Kootenay Ice events has realized $42,293.29 in financial support for health care. What’s not as easy to capture is the number of smiles the players have brought to the hospital during their annual Christmas visits or involvement at one of the many fundraising events. Stars and bobble heads an unlikely match but one that works magic here in the East Kootenay.
Phoenix renamed to Arizona Coyotes ASSOCIATED PRESS
GLENDALE, Ariz. The Phoenix Coyotes will go by a different name next season. Anthony LeBlanc, the club’s co-owner, president and CEO, announced Wednesday the franchise will change its name to the Arizona Coyotes next year.
“We are very excited to announce our franchise name will change to Arizona Coyotes for the start of the 2014-’15 NHL season,” he said in a statement. “Becoming the Arizona Coyotes makes sense for us since we play our games in Glendale and the city is such a great partner of ours.
“We also want to be recognized as not just the hockey team for Glendale or Phoenix, but the team for the entire state of Arizona and the Southwest. We hope the name ‘Arizona’ will encourage more fans from all over the state, not just the valley, to embrace and support our team.”

Lowry puts in big performance to lead Raptors over Magic 98-83 Daniel Gir ard Canadian Press
TORONTO - For the second straight night, Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry stated his case as an NBA all-star. But even after pouring in a game-high 33 points in a convincing win over the Orlando Magic, Lowry was managing expectations ahead of Thursday’s announcement of the reserves for next month’s game. “I would be very honoured. It would be a great individual accomplishment,” Lowry said when asked if the NBA coaches’ decision mattered to him. “But at the end of the day, it’s just another day for me.” Even though many would argue Lowry deserves a spot in New Orleans, he’s widely expected to be snubbed, a victim of a perceived abrasive personality rather than anything to do with his play. His play spoke volumes again Wednesday. Lowry had 11 assists to go with his 33 points in the Raptors’ 98-83 win before 17,694 fans at Air Canada Centre.

Kyle Lowry stating his case for NBA All-Star team, leads Raptors to victory. It was Lowry’s second consecutive 30-plus point performance - a career first. The feat is even more impressive because it’s come in the absence of injured DeMar DeRozan, another potential all-star. “He’s stepped it up,” Toronto head coach Dwane Casey said of Lowry, who hit all five of his three-point attempts in the first quarter as the Raptors built a
33-20 lead and led all the way. “I keep my fingers crossed that the coaches voted him in because he deserves it,” Casey said. “I feel like both guys (Lowry and DeRozan) deserve it, because right now he’s one of the best point guards in the league.” Lowry, who had 31 points in a win over the Nets in Brooklyn on Monday, set the tone for the night by opening the scoring with a 26foot jump shot 58 seconds into the game to make it 3-0. The Raptors led from there, winning their second straight game and fourth in five. “We’re just getting better and we’re grinding it out every day,” Lowry said. Amir Johnson added 22 points and 11 rebounds while Jonas Valanciunas, the second-year centre picked earlier Wednesday to suit up in the Rising Stars Challenge at the all-star weekend in New Orleans next month, added 14 points and 15 rebounds for the Raptors. The win moved Toronto (2421) three games above .500 for the first time this season.
No Plan B if NHL pulls players out of Sochi Joshua Clipperton Canadian Press
VANCOUVER Hockey Canada president Bob Nicholson says there’s no Plan B if the NHL decides to pull its players out of the Sochi Olympics because of security concerns. Nicholson made the comments Wednesday after announcing the 2014 recipients of the Order of Hockey in Canada. “Our contingency plan would be everyone around this room
today,” he said while speaking to reporters at Rogers Arena. “We have none.” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in an email this week the league would re-evaluate going to Sochi “if something significant were to transpire” before Feb. 9. That’s the date players are scheduled to leave for Russia. Daly added in the email he didn’t “expect that that will become necessary.” Nicholson said there
has been no contact with Canadian amateur or European-based players in the event the NHL did decide against participating in Sochi. The threat of terrorism has been top of mind recently after two suicide bombers struck the city of Volgograd in late December, killing 34 people. An Islamic militant group in Dagestan - which is located about 500 kilometres from Sochi - claimed responsibility for those attacks and has also threatened to strike at
the Games. Nicholson said his organization has been working with the federal government and Canadian Olympic Committee on security. “We have people on the ground in Sochi. They feel it is very safe right now and we just want to make sure it stays that way,” said Nicholson. “This is something that isn’t new to the Olympics. “Certainly the location here heightens it but we feel comfortable.”
Canada sending largest ever team to Winter Games C anadian Press
TORONTO - Canada will send 221 athletes to the Sochi Olympics, its largest ever team for a Winter Games. The Canadian Olympic Committee officially announced its full team Wednesday. Canada’s goal is to win more medals than any other country in Sochi. Canada’s team of 202 athletes finished third overall four years ago in Vancouver with 26 medals, but won a record 14 gold. There are 36 more medals on the table in Sochi due to new events on the program, giving Canada a realistic shot of surpassing its 2010 total. The team is comprised of six skicross athletes, 27 speedskaters, 10 curlers, 16 bobsledders, eight

lugers, four skeleton athletes, 21 women hockey players, eight biathletes, 24 snowboarders, 25 male hockey players, 15 alpine skiers, 17 figure skaters, 13 cross-country skiers, 20 freestyle skiers and seven ski jumpers. “The size of our team and its medal potential is a great tribute to our athletes, their coaches and the system Canada has in place to develop high-performance Olympic athletes,” Canadian chef de mission Steve Podborski said in a release. “Our athletes are very talented and are the best-prepared team to ever represent Canada at the Winter Games.” Curling skip Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg is the oldest female athlete at 39 while Calgary bobsledder Lascelles Brown, who’s also 39, is the oldest man.
The youngest female athlete is figure skater Gabrielle Daleman of Newmarket, Ont., who turned 16 earlier this month. The youngest male is 18-year-old luger Mitchel Malyk of Calgary. Of the 121 male athletes and 100 female athletes, 46 are former Olympic medallists and 108 have made the podium at a world championship. Ontario has the largest contingent with 64 athletes or 29 per cent of the team. Alberta is second with 56 athletes (25 per cent) and Quebec is third with 43 competitors (19 per cent). Canada will field a team in all events except Nordic combined. Hockey star Hayley Wickenheiser will carry Canada’s flag into the opening ceremonies on Feb. 7.

Yzerman, St-Louis and Drake named to 2014 Order of Hockey in Canada C anadian Press
VANCOUVER - Steve Yzerman can add another honour to his impressive resume. The former Detroit Red Wings captain was named to the Order of Hockey in Canada on Wednesday along with former women’s national team captain France St-Louis and legendary university coach Clare Drake. Yzerman, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009, won three Stanley Cups during his 22-year play-
ing career. Now the general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Yzerman won gold with Canada as a player at the 2002 Olympics and served as the executive director of the gold-medal winning men’s team at the 2010 Games in Vancouver. The 48-year-old has the same post heading into next month’s Olympics in Sochi, Russia. “It was an extremely pleasant surprise for me and really a thrill,”
Yzerman said during a conference call with all three recipients. “I’ve loved being a part of Hockey Canada as a player and (in) management throughout my career in the game.” Yzerman, St-Louis and Drake will be honoured at a ceremony in Vancouver in June. The class of 2014 joins previous inductees Jean Beliveau, Cassie Campbell-Pascall, Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Gordon Renwick, Paul Henderson, Dave King and Mark Messier.

Veteran racer brings seasoned perspective to Sochi Ste ve Hubrecht Invermere Valley Echo
The third time may be the charm for Invermere’s Manny Osborne-Paradis at the Sochi Olympics. The alpine skier has already been to the games in Torino in 2006 and in Vancouver in 2010, and with experience comes a veteran’s viewpoint. “My Olympic results have not been the brightest, but the older you get the more more you realize it’s about building on these races (leading into the
Games),” said Mr. Osborne-Paradis, who recently raced in a Kitzbühel World Cup race (where he placed 16th in the downhill event) and will race again at St. Moritz this coming weekend, prior to the Olympics. Mr. Osborne-Paradis had never raced at St. Mortiz before, which he said makes for a good build-up to Sochi, where he’s also never raced before (the Olympics will, in fact, be his first time in Russia). “It’s good practice in getting to know a course
that I don’t really know and trying to figure it out as soon as possible,” he said, adding skiers usually get just two practice runs, sometimes just one, before the racing begins — not much time to get a really good feel for a course. From what Mr. Osborne-Paradis has heard, the actual Olympic course in Sochi will be much different than the test event course there, so all the racers will be in somewhat unfamiliar territory for the games. In Torino in 2006, Mr.

Osborne-Paradis was in podium position with just a few racers left to go when the race was cancelled due to weather, prompting a complete re-ski later, during which he didn’t place so well. In Vancouver in 2010 Mr. Osborne-Paradis was one of the favourites heading into Olympics — having two wins and a second-place finish in races just before the games — and was even, at one point, tied for the lead halfway through one of the Olympic races — but couldn’t convert that momentum into a strong finish. “A lot can change in four years; you just give it your best shot,” he said. “There’s definitely something special about the Olympics. It’s not just another race.” The field of competitors is the same as it is on the World Cup circuit, but the World Cup is a full-season long event, built on overall

as hard as you can and hope that the stars align as you go down the course,” said Mr. Osborne-Paradis. The skier said that although nothing can top the home Olympics experience of Vancouver, he’s still excited for the
games. “The Olympics are great because we’re a full team, a nation, of all sports. You’re not just a bunch of skiers on a mountain as we are at the World Cup events,” he said. The speed events (the downhill and super-G), which Mr. Osborne-Paradis will be doing at the games, start early on in the schedule, giving him the opportunity to participate in the opening ceremony for the first time. Mr. Osborne-Paradis grew up in the Vancouver area, but moved to Invermere when he was a teenager to race with the Panorama-based B.C. ski team. He lived here for four years, graduating from David Thompson Secondary School. Mr. Osborne-Paradis later bought a house here (where he lives for themajority of his summer off-season) and considers the Columbia Valley to be his home.

Vancouver folk rogue plays Lotus show Ferdy Bell and
“In my career, every show is different and surprising,” says Vancouver’s roguish folkrock songwriter Geoff Berner. “This past year I played a punk rock squat in Berlin, a recently restored synagogue, a folk fest in the woods of Ontario, a hockey arena in Norway … and now a bookstore in Cranbrook!” And so it goes that Berner brings his accordion-driven tales of love, life, lust and lager to the intimate confines of Lotus Books the evening of Saturday Feb. 8. Geoff Berner has been a staple in Vancouver’s music scene since the 1990s, when he fronted the punk band Terror of Tiny Town. After embracing the klezmer music of his Jewish heritage and barging his way into the city’s eclectic indie underground with his accordion Stella as his
main instrument, Berner gained much acclaim for his humour-laden songs, which often combine the profound with the profane. Berner’s profile elevated once the Be Good Tanyas’ version of his song “Light Enough to Travel” hit the UK charts. Having released six albums over the past decade (the latest being 2011’s ‘Victory Party’), Berner has carved out an international fanbase which sees him tromping through Europe on an annual basis. “My hero Billy Bragg curates the Leftfield Stage at the Glastonbury Festival in England,” Berner said. “This last summer, he invited me and my trio out to play there. Playing this giant legendary event with my pals, to a huge crowd, with the idol of my teenage years looking on? That was pretty good!” Berner’s current Ca-
nadian tour comes in support of his newly-released début novel “Festival Man.” A fictional first-person memoir of a rather unpleasant music manager, “Festival Man” is reminiscent of Charles Bukowski’s work, and is described by author Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall as “the best rock’n’roll novel since Whale Music” Berner’s Lotus Books performance will include select readings from ‘Festival Man,’ as well as full sets of his songs. Berner looks forward to his return to the East Kootenay. “What I remember is that there was something about the town, where things started out kind of sedate...and by the end of the evening it had all got bit out of control. I wasn’t sure when things had crossed that line, but I wasn’t sorry about it.” Berner assures us that he has artistic pearls of wisdom worth
sharing: “Worry less about practising your instrument. Work more on reading books, watching movies and listening to music outside of your usual comfort zone. Seek out the strange. If you want to get ahead, reach out to people who genuinely share your enthusiasms. People you’ve never heard of have more power than you think to spread the word about your work. Famous people are more accessible than you think to people who truly love the kind of stuff they love. Make something and throw it out there. You never know where it might go.” Geoff Berner performs live at Lotus Books (33-10th Ave.S., Cranbrook) on Saturday, Feb. 8; showtime 8 p.m. For more information, please phone 250426-3415.
Ballet Jorgen does Shakespeare Submit ted
On Tuesday, Feb. 11, Romeo and Juliet by Ballet Jorgen will be taking the stage at Key City Theatre. A timeless classic written by William Shakespeare tells the tale of Romeo and Juliet, two love-struck teens living on opposite sides of two feuding families. Masterfully transformed for the world of ballet, this tale of love, anguish and revenge is elegant and intensely emotional. Since 1997, the Ballet Jorgen has successfully toured “Romeo & Juliet” around the world with stops in New York, China and Hong Kong. Praised as one of the sunniest versions of the play, Bengt Jorgen’s focuses on creating a clear and emotionally driven journey into this timeless classic. “Bengt Jörgen crafts a jewel-box Romeo & Juliet” says Paula Citron (Globe and Mail) and Michael Crabb (National Posts) calls it “a production that looks like a ballet but feels like a play”. Ballet Jorgen will be bringing an ensemble of 15 dancers with Hiroto Saito and Saniya Abilmajineva cast in the roles of Romeo and Ju-
Hiroto Saito and Saniya Abilmajineva liet. Hiroto Saito is a Japanese born ballet dancer who has been dancing and teaching with Ballet Jorgen since 2007. Along with dancing, Hiroto has choreographed a variety of works for Ballet Jorgen and organized “Dance for Japan” a fundraiser to support earthquake relief in Fukushima, Japan. Saniya Abilmajineva is originally from Tashkent, Uzbekistan and
started training for ballet at the age of 10. A graduate from the Choreography College in Moscow, she has been the recipient of several awards including the gold medal at the International Ballet Competition in Berlin and a semi-finalist at the International Ballet Competition at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre. In addition Ballet Jorgen will be providing six to 10 local dancers
and two theatre students the opportunity to participate in the ballet. Students are selected based on their instructor’s recommendation or through live auditions. Students successfully selected will have the rare opportunity to gain insights to the inner workings of a professional ballet production. They will have the chance to participate in rehearsals and perform as villagers, ballroom guests and guards in front of a live audience at the Key City Theatre. Founded in 1987, Ballet Jorgen gives over 120 performances a year sharing the experience of ballet with more communicates in Canada than any other dance company. With over 117 ballets in their repertoire they are the only major Canadian ballet company that exclusively offers original ballet performances. Ballet Jorgen will be in Cranbrook on Feb. 11 to perform Romeo and Juliet. Tickets are $40 ($35 for members) and can be purchased at the Key City Theatre box office or charge by phone at 250-426-7006. Visit www.keycitytheatre. com for more information.

Transportation Safety Board, U.S. counterpart partner on oil-by-rail safety recommendations AARON ORL ANDO Revelstoke Times Review
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada and the U.S. National Transportation Safety board have issued joint recommendations to improve the safety of transportation of crude oil. Their Jan. 23 report said the greater risk of transporting “increasingly more” crude oil by rail in North America needs “coordinated solutions.” Transportation Safety Board (TSB) chair Wendy Tadros emphasized three key points arising from the July, 2012 Lac-Mégantic disaster investigation: “In the course of our Lac-Mégantic investigation, we found three critical weaknesses in the North American rail system which must be urgently addressed,” Tadros said. “Today we are making three recommendations calling for tougher standards for Class 111 tank cars; route planning and analysis; and emergency response assistance plans.” The report calls for tougher standards for new and existing

The second recommendation calls for strategic route planning, and improved operations safety for trains carrying dangerous goods in Canada. “The TSB wants railways to carefully choose the routes on which oil and other dangerous goods are to be carried, and to make sure train operations over those routes will be safe,” the TSB said in a Jan. 23 statement.

RCMP arrest man over Fernie collision TAMAR A HYND Fernie Free Press
The Elk Valley RCMP are investigating a motor vehicle collision that sent one female to the Elk Valley Hospital in Fernie over the weekend. The accident occurred on Highway 3 near Hosmer approximately 16 kilometres north of Fernie early in the morning of Sunday, January 27.
A male driver has been arrested and police believe that drugs and alcohol played a factor in this incident. “As the investigation is still on going, we are unable to provide any further details at this time,” said Sgt. Will Thien. Contact the Elk Valley RCMP at 250-4256233 if you have information about this case.

assistance plans, or ‘ERAPs,’ to be in place along rail routes where large volumes of oil will be transported. The report finds that oil by rail shipments have increased very, very dramatically in the past four years. In Canada in 2009, there were only 500 carloads of crude oil shipped by rail. By 2013, that number jumped manyfold to 160,000 carloads. Over the same period, shipments in the U.S. jumped from 10,800 to
400,000 carloads. The reports finds better cross-border coordination of oil shipments is needed due to the integrated nature of international oil shipments. “If North American railways are to carry more and more of these flammable liquids through our communities, it must be done safely,” added Tadros. “Change must come and it must come now.” The TSB said the ongoing Lac-Mégantic investigation is a “top priority” for the TSB. The Transportation Safety Board is an independent Government of Canada agency responsible for advancing transportation safety in Canada. However, it’s the federal Transport Canada that regulates rail transport in Canada. Following the TSB Jan. 23 report, federal Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt issued a statement saying Transport Canada officials are “reviewing” the recommendations. The statement also listed other steps the transportation regulator has taken since the Lac-Mégantic disaster.
Nelson SAR assist injured snowmobiler at Kootenay Pass SAM VAN SCHIE Nelson Star
Nelson Search and Rescue helped pull an injured snowmobiler out of the forest at Kootenay Pass this past weekend. A man in his mid20s had been riding along the south shore of Monk Lake with four others on snowmobiles, at about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, when he was thrown from his machine and fell badly, suffering what appeared to be a spinal cord injury. Two riders went to get help while the others stayed with the injured man, administering what first aid they could. By the time Search
and Rescue received the call, at about 4:30 p.m., it was too late to get a helicopter or any sort of air transport to the scene, so the evacuation had to be done by land. Creston Search and Rescue members, who managed the search with a half dozen volunteers on site, also brought in a team of five from Nelson SAR and two from South Columbia SAR. They also contacted the Creston Snowmobile Club and managed to get seven people on snowmobiles to bring rescuers out to the scene, about 20 kilometres from the trailhead off Highway 3A. Fortunately, the avalanche risk was low, which allowed the res-

cuers to go into what can sometimes be dangerous terrain at night. “By time we reached the subject, his two companions had decided to take the risk and move him down from lake, [about 10 kilometres] to Maryland Creek Forest Service Road,” Nelson search manager Scott Spencer explained. When his team arrived, Spencer said, they found the injured man very cold and shivering. “We re-warmed him, did our assessment, and packaged him properly for spine injury [and] onto a rescue toboggan.” They had originally planned to care for the man through the night and get him airlifted out at first light. But because he was now much closer to the trailhead, the rescuers decided to continue moving him out. The injured man was in good spirits throughout the ordeal, keeping up a conversation with rescuers, Spencer said. At about 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning, the team reached the highway, where an ambulance was waiting to bring the man to the Trail hospital.

Even after correcting for vision with glasses or contact lenses, many people still cannot see well and test at lower than 20/40 vision.

Treatment for low vision Treatment cannot begin until your vision is assessed by a professional. An optometrist may conduct various vision acuity tests to determine what might be the cause of vision loss. Each type of low vision problem requires a different ap-
proach to treatment, so it’s important to correctly diagnose the problem before beginning treatment. Some treatment options for low vision may include specialized optical systems, video magnification, therapeutic filters, or special prescription glasses. There also may be the need to perform eye exercises that help maximize existing visual function. Individuals may have to use a combination of devices to find the ones that help the best. Only a doctor can determine the culprit behind vision loss. Routine visual exams are recommended at least every year and may need to be more frequent if a person is suffering from deteriorating vision. If caught early, many eye conditions can be managed to help prevent further loss of vision.

Hot Tub therapy has positive effects Recent studies show that hot tub therapy is not just a luxurious and fun way to spend an evening: it actually has visible health benefits. Furthermore, advancements in technology have made some hot tubs very energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, so now is the ideal time to join the many who thrive from the low-maintenance benefits which hot tubs can offer. Soaking in a hot tub provides three
important elements which have been shown to improve physical and emotional health: heat, buoyancy, and massage. For the 1 in 3 Canadians who have some form of arthritis, hot tubs exercise and relax the muscle joints which may cause pain during simple daily tasks, allowing patients to feel more comfortable at home and outdoors. Hot tubs also help diminish insomnia, which affects almost 75% of the population on a regular basis. Not only does the experience reduce the stress which often causes sleepless nights, but a recent study showed that a drop in body
temperature helps one fall into a deeper sleep. It was suggested that soaking in 103-degree water 90 minutes before bedtime for just 15 minutes is a natural and effective way to induce sleep without the side effects of commercial sleep aids. The most surprising of all, however, is the positive effect which hot tubs have on patients with Type 2 Diabetes. A Study at the McKee Medical Center showed that patients who spent 30 minutes per day in a hot tub reported a 13% decrease in blood sugar levels, improved sleep, and a higher sense of well-being. Even if you do not suffer
from one of these ailments, a hot tub is a natural and successful in stress relief, blood pressure, headaches, and the acceleration of the healing process. But where do you start? Hot tubs have the reputation of being unwieldy, expensive, and wasteful, but with new technologies, they are becoming an easyto-maintain, energy efficient, at-home healing sanctuary. Their consultation process allows you to find the model which best suits your needs, and their variety of models allows you to relax and destress while still doing a little to save on energy costs.

Tanning Bed Benefits - Tanning Can Actually Be Beneficial to You!
Tanning beds are becoming an extremely popular way to get a quick, natural looking tan without having to sit outside in the blazing hot sun. They are also not as harmful as the sun. Tanning beds can even provide certain benefits to you if you use the proper precautions. Some doctors will tell you that tanning beds are just as harmful as sunlight and can cause skin cancer and premature aging just like the sun. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. There are lots of tanning bed lotions on the market that will prevent these dangerous side effects from occurring. A good lotion should provide antioxidants and moisture to your skin. The antioxidants are what protect you from any damage that the UVA and UVB rays might cause. It is very important that after you tan, you use an after tan lotion.
This helps calm and cool your skin down and it will also firm it. If you don’t use this lotion, your skin will begin to sag and get lots of wrinkles. UVA and UVB rays can cause this by disrupting the elastin fibers in your skin. If you can’t find a good after
tan lotion, you can also use extra virgin olive oil. This oil has lots of anti aging ingredients in it. If you go to tanning salons, just make sure you don’t do it too much. Also make sure you use the proper lotions.

Hygiene Wash your hands frequently with soap and water – this is preferred to hand sanitizers. Diet and Lifestyle Increase consumption of Vitamin C rich fruits and vegetables: organic peppers, lemons, organic berries, broccoli, oranges, organic greens.
Eat raw garlic and onions as both have anti-bacterial, anti-viral and immune modulating effects. Add raw to salad dressing, soups or try to add near the end of cooking to get the most benefit. Avoid refined carbohydrates which can inhibit immune function. Ensure you are getting an adequate amount of sleep for your body (7-9 hours per night). Exercise at least 30 minutes daily and do one activity that helps release stress like journaling, yoga, meditation, deep breathing, stretching. If you are prone to sinus issues using a neti pot daily can help keep the nasal passages clear and prevent stagnation of fluids.

Supplements/Herbal Medicine Deep Immune is one of our favourite preventative treatments to support the immune system and it contains several herbs to fight off infection and keep the immune system strong. Vitamin C + Bioflavonoids can help enhance the immune system. Vitamin D can be used daily during the winter months to keep the immune system balanced. Multi strain probiotics can help replenish the good bacteria in the gut to balance the immune system. If you do get a cold remember these tips as well: If you are coughing or sneezing do it in to a bent arm rather than
onto your hands as this prevents transmission. Allow the body to experience a mild to moderate fever (1-3 degrees above normal 37.3°C) without suppressing it as this is the immune system working to help you feel better. If you aren’t feeling well stay home from work and let your body rest and recover. IV therapy can be helpful to enhance immune function and recover faster using a Myer’s cocktail (high dose B vitamins, Vitamin C, Calcium and magnesium) with added glycyrrhizic acid (licorice extract) for anti-viral effects. Manuka or local, unpasteurized honey
can help to soothe sore throats as well as adding anti-microbial effects to fight infections.
Living a healthy lifestyle by eating a diet full of whole foods, fruits and veggies, exercising regularly and managing stress are the best ways to keep the immune system functioning properly throughout the year to prevent illness.
7 Ways To Alleviate Cabin Fever
LONG WINTER DAYS can quickly bring on feelings of cabin fever. Although cabin fever is not a recognized medical condition, it can compromise well-being. Cabin fever can strike even the most optimistic people. Cabin fever normally affects people during the winter months, when shortened days, longer periods of darkness and cold temperatures often force people to remain inside. These factors can lead to depression, boredom, anxiety, and an inability to concentrate. Alleviating symptoms of cabin fever requires making a few changes, including getting outdoors whenever possible. 1. Head outside. It may be cold and dreary, but getting outside can be healthy. Take advantage of daylight hours whenever possible. Plan a walk around the neighborhood before you

The most common cause of dizziness is BPPV, characterized by vertigo (a spinning sensation) that lasts less than a minute and happens after changing body position such as bending over or laying down in bed. With a careful and detail examination BPPV can often be resolved with one treatment. Many other causes of dizziness including inner ear infections, neurological disease and disorders, and head injuries like concussions can be improved with the right kind of treatment. Give Ryan a call to discuss your dizziness and balance concerns!

First Line Therapy
... a therapeutic lifestyle modification program.
Gray’s
Compounding Pharmacy in Marysville, owned and operated by Michelle and Andy Gray, offers traditional pharmacy services as well as food sensitivity testing, hormone consultations, travel vaccinations, and our newest program, First Line Therapy. First Line Therapy is a therapeutic lifestyle modification program. In my sixteen years of experience as a pharmacist, I have become very concerned when I reflect on the increased dependency on medication for many chronic illnesses and diseases. These diseases could be managed more effectively with better health outcomes if we, as health care providers, could impact the lifestyle and behavioral patterns of our patients.
In light of this, I have set up my new pharmacy with private clinical consultation rooms to provide a program called First Line Therapy, developed by Metagenics Canada. Metagenics is more than a professional nutraceutical company. They recognize the fundamental principle of how lifestyle plays a major role in the health and quality of life of an individual. First Line Therapy (FLT), is a clinically proven, effective, first line of treatment for chronic disease. It reduces risk factors and dependency on medication. This program has a significant body of research to support its efficacy and proven reduction of risk factors in diabetes and heart disease. The program provides the tools that enable us as health care providers to collaborate with our patients, educate,
coach and ultimately empower them to improve their quality of health and wellness by making lifestyle changes. One of the significant features offered in this program is a weekly BIA which is body composition testing. This is a non-invasive test to definitively measure body fat, lean body mass, hydration status, and your personal metabolic rate. This helps us to develop a personalized program specific to your needs. This enables us to ensure that weight reduction is done in a safe and sustainable manner. We are the only certified First Line Therapy Clinic in the East Kootenays. We are excited to offer this program and see the successes our clients are having achieving their health goals. We are pleased to announce that Dr. Kathy Murphy,
Chiropractor, has partnered with us to deliver the First Line Therapy Program. Kathy’s brings a wealth of health knowledge and skill to serve the needs of our clients. She has a particular interest in fitness and nutrition from her chiropractic background and shares this knowledge in delivering the program. Michelle Gray has a wealth of experience in providing medication reviews, natural health recommendations, counseling and lifestyle coaching. The dynamic duo of Michelle and Kathy with over 47 years of combined clinical experience provides a unique collaborative benefit to the client. Our goal is to empower you to be in charge of your health. If you are ready to help yourself, then First Line Therapy is the program for you.
Full Service Prescriptions, Medication Reviews, Vaccination Services, Pain Management, Bio-Identical Hormones, Veterinary & Children’s Preparations, Wound Care, Stress and Hormone Evaluations, Food Sensitivity Testing, Premium Supplements from Metagenics, Anti-Aging Services and Special Order Products.
FIRST LINE THERAPY PROGRAM CAN HELP YOU REGAIN YOUR HEALTH. FLT is a specialized therapeutic lifestyle change program that targets the underlying cause of chronic illnesses and diseases. The program incorporates a sensible eating plan, exercise, nutritional supplementation and stress management to enable patients to reduce the risk factors impacting their health. THIS TWELVE WEEK PROGRAM OFFERS: - Progress tracking - Practitioner consultations - Nutritional product - Initial and weekly measurement recommendations determining ratio of body fat and lean body mass - Potential to reduce or eliminate the need for some medications as - Lifestyle / dietary counselling lifestyle habits improve - Medication review (if required) Optional ongoing support - Simple eating guidelines

Explore Mind, Body and Health at College of the Rockies
Interested in a career in an industry that helps you to support the well-being of others? A Health program at College of the Rockies may be the right fit for you. We offer Kinesiology, Practical Nursing, Health Care Assistant and more. Kinesiology is the study of human movement.
Interest in this discipline reflects a growing concern with human health and wellness and is applied in physical and occupational therapy as well as within the sport and exercise industries. The Kinesiology program at College of the Rockies is a two-year diploma with either an Instruction/Personal Training or Exercise Science focus. Through current transfer agreements, students can complete the diploma here and then transfer directly to Year 3 at
University of British Columbia – Okanagan, Camosun College or University of the Fraser Valley. Additional transfer options to other BC Universities are also available. Graduates of the Kinesiology program have gone on to such varied careers as athletic therapists, personal trainers, physiotherapists, high-performance coaching, chiropractors and physical education specialists and more. Stephanie Hornquist, a recent graduate,
has high praise for the program, “As a graduate student, I believe that most of my educational success is due to the knowledge I gained from the kinesiology program at COTR. The professors really take the time to prepare students to be successful not only for examinations, but for their future educational endeavours. Kinesiology gave me the opportunity to explore the different aspects of the Health and Wellness field and ultimately led me to pursue a doctorate in chiropractic medicine.” Kinesiology diploma students also have the opportunity to become certified with the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) as Certified Personal Trainers (CPT). Recognized as the gold
standard in personal training certification in Canada, this training is often not provided until third or fourth year of degree programs, giving COTR students a decided advantage.
Bachelor of Nursing programs receive hands-on learning that prepares them for real-life workplace scenarios.
College of the Rockies’ Practical Nursing program is a two-year diploma program that prepares graduates to provide qualified professional care to individuals and families in a variety of settings. As with many health care careers, WorkBC lists the demand growth and job stability for Licensed Practical Nurses as excellent making this an ideal time to consider LPN as a career option.
The Health Care Assistant program at the College is the perfect fit for anyone looking for entry into the health care field in a shorter period of time. The sixmonth program covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to provide personal care to individuals in residential care as well as in community settings. This program is offered yearly at the Cranbrook main campus and also at some regional campuses on a rotational basis.
With a fully equipped nursing ward at the Cranbrook main campus, students in the Practical Nursing and
And of course, our very popular Certified Dental Assistant and Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs con-

Faculty and staff will be on hand to answer any questions you may have and there will be interactive demonstrations by both the Kinesiology and Practical Nursing programs.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Emphasize the possibilities, especially if the obvious course is blocked. Do not accept “no” for an answer; instead, look for a different solution. You might feel off-kilter when trying to handle various facets of your life. Adopt a more laid-back attitude. Tonight: Where the action is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Accepting your role in a situation might be difficult. The possibility of a new beginning will become a reality by seeing where you might have steered off course. You could be surprised by someone’s attitude when you express your thoughts. Tonight: Out late. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You suddenly might see a situation differently. The unpredictability that surrounds you could result in a new beginning, if you remain positive. Expenses could soar if you don’t keep an eye on what is going on. Stay focused. Tonight: Treat a friend
to munchies and drinks. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could think differently about an unexpected development at work that involves a supervisor. You might not have everything under control as much as you might think you do. Consider renegotiating your direction and choices. Tonight: Have a chat with a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You don’t need to be the first one to act. You would prefer to understand the dynamics of what is going on before making a move. Observe, and you will see more. Your creativity feeds off a loved one. Others seek you out. Tonight: So many choices, so many invitations. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with a child or loved one directly. You might have your hands full, so see if you can delegate some of your projects or errands to someone else. Others seek you out because of your efficiency and attention to detail. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tundra
Your imagination could be triggered by someone’s unpredictability. You might wonder why different opportunities emerge when your mind wanders. Take a stand, whether it is with a boss or with a loved one. You will communicate your needs. Tonight: Be a little naughty. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pace yourself, and you might be able to absorb an unexpected change. It is important to know your priorities. How you deal with someone and his or her attitude could change as a result of today’s events. You might want to make that clear to the other party. Tonight: At home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Initiate conversations and make calls. You could be surprised by what happens once everyone starts to speak his or her mind. Stop and assess. Your ability to breeze past an issue allows greater give-and-take. Tonight: Hang out with loved ones. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might discover that a partner has very different ideas about how to approach a
certain topic. Finding a middle ground could be a difficult issue. Perhaps step one is simply accepting where you both are mentally. Tonight: Pay bills first. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Beam in more of what you desire. You are likely to change your direction and/or get a chance at a new beginning. You have a lot of energy for handling what is becoming a very full plate of responsibilities. Don’t shy away from a loved one. Tonight: Visit with a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Use this period to gain information and to question your direction. Listen to your inner voice when dealing with a child or a difficult person. Reflect rather than act; listen rather than speak. You’ll gain much more insight this way, which will be helpful later. Tonight: Not to be found. BORN TODAY Former U.S. President Franklin D.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have a 40-year-old daughter who is lazy. When she injures herself, has surgery or is sick, I wait on her like she’s a baby. But I recently needed surgery myself, and she has no interest in helping me at all. A while back, I hired someone to clean her bedroom. It took two days. It was absolutely disgusting. Now that I can’t pick up after her, it’s getting bad again. If I say anything to her, she throws a tantrum. I’m getting too old for this. -- Can’t Take the Arguments Dear Can’t: You’re too old? Your daughter is 40 and still lives at home and expects her mother to clean her room. We do not understand parents who tacitly encourage their children to behave like babies and treat parents like servants and then complain when they do. Unless your daughter is incapable of holding a job and living independently, tell her it’s time she found a place of her own. At the very least, insist that she pay you rent. Do not clean her room. Close the door and let her deal with her own mess. Dear Annie: My husband is an account executive for a large company. He earns a good salary and travels frequently on business. He has to pay all of his expenses out of his own pocket and then submit expense reports for reimbursement. He is supposed to submit the forms at the end of each month for payment at the end of the following month. It’s tight for us, but tolerable. Here’s the problem. For whatever reason, the expense checks are often not given out on time. Sometimes my husband has to wait three or four months before being reimbursed. These are not $40 lunches. We are talking about hundreds of dollars of airline and hotel expenses, plus entertaining and feeding clients. Over four months, that can turn into thousands of dollars. Please don’t misunderstand. I realize we’re lucky to make a good living. But we are not super-wealthy. We have two kids in college and medical bills for my mother, and frankly, we’re not in the position to loan my husband’s company all of this money with no interest. My husband is always quick to defend the company, saying they didn’t get the information on time or the person writing the checks was on vacation. I think he’s afraid of rocking the boat. Is there anything I can do? -- Not the Company’s Bank Dear Bank: Are you certain your husband is submitting his expenses on time? He could be telling you it’s the company’s fault to cover his own tardiness. It is also possible the company is having its own cash-flow problems and the late checks are only the tip of the iceberg. Nonetheless, it is your husband’s responsibility to handle this. Surely, he cannot be the only one who is having this particular problem. Perhaps he and other co-workers in the same situation could approach the boss together and find out what is going on. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Not a Lawyer,” who questioned why attorneys seem unwilling to give free legal advice. I come from a family of lawyers and doctors. I learned that none would give free professional advice. The reason is twofold: First, the majority of questions can only be answered by “it depends on the situation.” Second is the possibility of being sued for malpractice. You have no idea how many confused people have misunderstood a professional’s opinion, especially when given in a casual setting with little or no case history. I have yet to hear of a chef being sued for malpractice because he advised how to prepare a steak. -- Been There, Won’t Do It Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Smaller cities first to lose doorto-door service, Canada Post says C ANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Densely populated urban centres in the country’s largest cities will be the last to lose their door-todoor delivery service, Canada Post said Wednesday. The postal service said the older neighbourhoods and smaller lots in urban cores present different challenges for locating community mailboxes than suburban areas. So, Canada Post says it will leave the majority of those areas until the final stage of its plan to phase out door-to-door mail delivery. “The postal service will take the necessary time to understand their unique needs and find solutions that work for these neighbourhoods,’’ Canada Post said in a statement. The postal service also said it was working
to address the needs of seniors and disabled Canadians. “Canada Post is developing alternative approaches for people with significant mobility challenges, who lack viable alternatives and upon whom delivery to a community mailbox would impose an unacceptable hardship,’’ it said. The post office was widely criticized when it announced its plan to phase out home delivery late last year. Under the plan, mail for those who currently receive door-to-door service will be delivered to communal neighbourhood “superboxes.’’ About one-third of Canadian households receive their mail at their door. The rest pick up their mail at a central location, like an apartment lobby or community mailbox, or rural

postal rates and cutting thousands of jobs. The move to community mail boxes is expected to account for $400 million to $500 million in savings once it is fully implemented.
B.C. coast most at risk for major marine oil spill: report C ANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — A government-commissioned risk analysis says the coast of southern British Columbia and the Gulf of St. Lawrence are the Canadian areas most vulnerable marine oil spills and among the most likely for a major spill to occur. The findings will add to the debate over several pipeline proposals — including two in B.C. that the report says will substantially increase marine risks. The 256-page study, delivered this month to Transport Canada, looks at the risks associated with marine oil spills south of the 60th parallel under current shipping volumes. It identifies the southern tip of Vancouver Island, the Cabot Strait off Newfoundland, the eastern coast of Cape Breton Island and the Gulf of St. Lawrence as the most probable areas for a major oil spill. But the study also assesses the potential impact of four proposed
pipeline projects, including the Northern Gateway Pipeline to Kitimat and Kinder Morgan’s plan to almost triple its Trans Mountain line into Vancouver. The report says the Kinder Morgan proposal would essentially double oil traffic in an already vulnerable marine environment — with a corresponding increase in spill frequency — while the Northern Gateway marine route would turn what are currently very low, near-shore risks into very high risks. The study found that reversing Enbridge’s Line 9 to carry Western Canadian crude to refineries in Montreal and Quebec City would actually lower marine spill risks, as it would reduce oil imports through the sensitive Gulf of St. Lawrence. And the study found that the proposed Energy East Pipeline to St. John, N.B., would likely be a wash, reducing shipping imports but increasing oil exports to leave the overall marine risk about where it is now.

BAYONNE, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Passengers aboard a cruise ship on which hundreds fell ill recalled days of misery holed up in their rooms or the infirmary as the Explorer of the Seas returned to its home port Wednesday after a Caribbean trip cut short by a suspected outbreak of norovirus. Retiree Bill Rakowicz, 61, from the city of St. Thomas in Ontario, Canada, said he thought he was just seasick when he began suffering from vomiting, pain and diarrhea caused by the outbreak that sickened nearly 700 passengers and crew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I went out of my room and saw people with gloves and people sick everywhere,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said its latest count puts the number of those sickened at 630 passengers and 54 crew members. The ship, on a 10-day cruise that had to be cut short, was carrying 3,050 passengers. Health investigators suspect norovirus, but lab results are not expected until later this week. If norovirus is to blame, it would be one of the largest norovirus

An aerial view of passengers aboard Royal Caribbean Internationalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Explorer of the Seas as it arrives at port in Bayonne, New Jersey, Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014. outbreaks in the last 20 years, the CDC said. A 2006 norovirus outbreak on a Carnival Cruise Lines ship also sickened close to 700. Pastor Sue Rogutski, of Bloomsburg, Pa., said she got so sick she was quarantined for three days. She said her husband, Leonard, a nurse who only fell ill toward the end of the trip and less severely than her, had to carry her down from their room to the sick bay. Norovirus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; once known as Norwalk virus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is highly contagious. It can be picked up from an infected person, con-
taminated food or water or by touching contaminated surfaces. Sometimes mistaken for the stomach flu, the virus causes bouts of vomiting and diarrhea for a few days. The cruise line said most guests who fell ill were up and about as the ship headed to port. One woman aboard the Explorer of the Seas yelled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made it!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; as the ship docked. The CDC said it recommended to Royal Caribbean that people who still have serious symptoms be linked to medical care, and perhaps given the option of
staying in nearby hotels before travelling home. CDC investigators boarded the ship during its U.S. Virgin Islands Port call on Sunday. They said no food or water source or other origin has been identified. Royal Caribbean is providing all guests a 50 per cent refund of their cruise fares and an additional 50 per cent future cruise credit. After returning to port, the ship will be sanitized and no one will be allowed aboard for a period of more than 24 hours as an extra precaution, the cruise line said.
Fast food employee charged with selling heroin from drive-thru ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An employee of a McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant in Pittsburgh was charged Wednesday with selling heroin in child-oriented Happy Meals to customers using the coded request â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to order a toy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Authorities made the arrest after an informant told them that an employee was selling the drug. Customers looking for heroin were instructed to go through the drive-thru and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to order a toy,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Mike Manko, spokesman for District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. The customer would then drive to the window, hand over the
money and get a Happy Meal box containing heroin in exchange, Manko said. Undercover agents set up a drug buy and
arrested Shania Dennis, 26. Dennis denied wrongdoing to reporters as she was being led away in handcuffs.
Authorities said they found 10 bags of heroin in a Happy Meal box and recovered another 50 bags from the suspect.
Woman placed fake 911 call to get friend out of traffic stop ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROSWELL, N.M. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities say a New Mexico woman called in a fake report of a gunman near a convenience store to help a friend avoid a traffic ticket over a taillight. Roswell police say 22-year-old Savana Jimenez called 911 Sunday hoping the officer
who pulled over the car she was a passenger in would get dispatched to the fake crime. Authorities say Jimenez called 911 while the officer was checking her friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s information. Police say Jimenez later admitted making the entire story up so the officer would rush to the
fake scene. Roswell police spokeswoman Sabrina Morales says Jimenez told police she thought she had warrants out for her arrest, but officials say she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Jimenez was arrested and charged with obstruction. It was unknown if she had an attorney.

Isla Cozumel – one step away from the crowds Maritime Travel’s Carla Nelson explains why Cozumel is a more mellow Mexican destination than the touristy resorts
Just off the Caribbean coast from Playa del Carmen on the Mayan Riviera of Mexico lies the lovely island of Cozumel. When you’d like to downsize the busy, crowded, touristy Mexican sun package, try Cozumel instead. Cozumel is just 48 kilometres long and 16 kilometres wide. The Mayans settled here about 1000 AD and the Spanish first arrived in 1518. The main town is San Miguel with a population of 77,000. Yearround temperatures are between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius and water temperature remains about 28 degrees. The biggest attraction is the proximity of the Mesoamerican Reef, which creates great diving experiences. With over 250 species of tropical fish, turtles, sting-
rays, the queen angelfish, and the only place to find the elusive toadfish, scuba and snorkelling are popular activities. If you’re not in the water, you’re in the jungle — the entire island is covered in dense jungle, with deep water cenotes (sinkholes) often found. Unless you are a qualified cave diver, swimming in the cenotes here is not recommended. This small island has a wide variety of great activities and attractions. There are two ‘swim with the dolphins’ parks; zipline; parasailing and kitesurfing; fishing; submarine adventure; and golf. The Nicklaus-designed course is home to blue crabs, iguanas, crocodiles, raccoons and birds. Shopping for fine sil-
ver and onyx jewellery, leather goods, pottery, tequila and spices is also a rewarding past time. Eating, drinking and relaxing are great past times too! From taco breakfasts at Carlos ‘n Charlies to fine Mayan dining at the 60-year-old Casa Denis; or live music, sunset sails, salsa dancing or candlelit dinners on the beach – there is something for everyone. Cozumel is easy to reach. You can fly directly (though not nonstop) to the island from Canada or the USA, or you can fly to Cancun and catch the Mayair shuttle – a 20 minute flight, five round trips daily. Or take the ferry from Playa del Carmen – regular schedule all day long, 30 minutes, round trip about
The Mesoamerican Reef off Isla Cozumel creates great diving experiences. $16USD. And did I mention there is lots to do there! Within the Chankanaab National Park is the Punta Sur Eco Park. Rent yourself a jeep and go
exploring. You will find the San Gervasio Mayan Ruins and maybe the Pearl Farm. Or spend the day at the ‘theme park’ Playa Mia Grand Beach Park
(kayaks, hobie cats, water trampoline, hammocks, underwater Mayan city, mariachi bands). Or head for Isla Pasion, a beautiful private
island. For a tiny island, it sure has a lot to offer! For more information, contact Carla Nelson at Maritime Travel, 250-489-4788.

O
ur Canadian income tax system says that when you die you are deemed to sell ALL of the assets that you own and any income tax owing is due and payable to the Government of Canada. When the person passing away is the main family income earner, it becomes very quickly important that there is sufficient cash or near-cash assets available to pay the un-
expected income tax bill. Unfortunately this is a time when the family’s cash flow is dramatically reduced and all the available cash is needed for the family’s needs not to be paying income tax. In addition to the family needing income for basic needs as food, shelter and clothing there is also a need to ensure that debts, mortgages, and other liabilities, which would be-
Would You Use Life Insurance in Estate Planning? come due in the event of death of the primary income earner, are paid off. In many situations, an individual may have estate needs of a permanent nature. For example, estate assets may have to be sold to provide cash for the income tax arising from deferred capital gains, recaptured amortization, or other income taxes at the time of death. Also, there may be a tax liability arise because registered retirement savings plans (RRSP) and registered retirement income funds (RRIF) had to be cashed in or were paid to a non-spousal beneficiary. The deceased individual may have had a de-
sire to make a large donation to a favorite charity. In order to comply with the deceased’s wishes possibly estate assets may have to be sold to allow the donation to be made. So, would you use life insurance for any of the above estate situations? As much as you may not want to spend money for life insurance, the alternative is that that donation you wanted to make or the size of the estate you wanted to leave to your beneficiaries is greatly reduced by income tax.
