Developer proposes subdivision on 6th Street NW A R NE PE TRYS HEN
Cranbrook may soon have a new subdivision on the Northwest part of town. Council approved the first two readings of a zoning amendment bylaw that
would permit rezoning for development on 6th Street NW. The property in question is located just above Farbrook Auto Wrecking. The owner of the 7.8
hectare property, Bain Developments, sent an application for rezoning to the city, asking for consideration of a subdivision and low-density residential development of the property.
“It’s going to be a mobile home park and low income housing,” Mayor Lee Pratt explained. “It’s northwest, in the Slaterville area.” The proposed rezoning will enable the consider-
ation of the development. The preliminary subdivision plan indicates approximately 93 lots for mobile home or single family dwellings. Coun. Ron Popoff noted that the application talks
about designated land for a park, as well as a required park dedication to provide a local park area for young families. Roy Hales, director of corporate services, said that the city wouldn’t require all the land that it could have by way of dedication. “So rather than taking all of that land, the applicant has agreed to provide a portion of monies that could be devoted to facilitating a smaller park,” Hales said. “That all will be negotiated as part of an understanding.” The park would be part of the second phase.

The opportunity for backcountry recreation is one of the main attractions to living in Cranbrook, and there are many different things to do in all four seasons. With winter upon us,
breaking out the skis is a common pastime, especially with the Kimberley Alpine Resort just up the highway. But for backcountry enthusiasts, there is something a little closer to home. Heading up Gold Creek
Rd. and hooking a right turn onto 38th Ave. will take you right to the South Star Trail head, as the street dead-ends at the trail entrance. “The thing for our community is it’s really close by, it’s only eight kilometres up
there and there’s a multitude of activities you can do— walk, take your dog, cross-country ski, snowshoe,” said Dave Basaraba, the project director for the South Star Recreation Society. Whether well-known or
not, the South Star Trails has proven to be a popular place for cross-country skiers to get outside and enjoy the wintery landscape, according to Basaraba.

On Friday Jan 9, at approximately 8:30 pm a lone male attempted to rob the Jim Bob’s Mini Mart on Warren Ave in Kimberley. The male entered the business produced a knife and demanded cash. The clerk hit the panic alarm and told the subject the police were on their way. The male fled on foot without any cash. A Police Dog followed a track to the Kimbrook Apartments parking lot located behind Jim Bob’s. Fresh tire tracks in the snow indicate it’s likely the subject left the area in a vehicle. The subject was wearing a red winter coat with a hood and had covered his face with a red scarf. He had jeans and black skater type shoes. If anybody has information concerning this incident they are asked to call Kimberley RCMP at 250 427-4811 or Crimestoppers.

LNG plans continue in 2015 despite oil slump Tom Fletcher Black Press
The shakeout of liquefied natural gas proposals for B.C. continues, with ExxonMobil’s large-scale project for Prince Rupert moving ahead and smaller projects changing or withdrawing plans. ExxonMobil and its Canadian subsidiary Imperial Oil have filed a detailed description with B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office, planning for a cityowned site on Tuck Inlet north of Prince Rupert Harbour. One of the larger of 18 B.C. proposals, West Coast Canada LNG (WCC LNG) proposes up to five floating barges for LNG loading with onshore support facilities, and an estimated capital cost of $15-25 billion. WCC LNG plans to start construction by 2017 and be in service by 2024. WCC LNG sorted through a half dozen sites in the Kitimat and Prince Rupert area, where the larger of B.C.’s 18 current LNG export proposals are also claiming sites. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman says 2015
West Coast Canada LNG
Shoreline on Tuck Inlet where ExxonMobil proposes to locate barge-based marine offloading facility for LNG tankers. is when the LNG industry begins to take shape, despite a slump in oil prices and rising competition from U.S. and other gas producers. “New drilling activity in our upstream sector demonstrates investors remain confident in B.C.’s long-term natural gas potential,” Coleman said in a New Year commentary released last week. “One of our province’s largest Crown land sales in history occurred near the end of 2014, with industry contributing more than $209 million for exploration right alone.” Proponents of Aurora LNG Grassy Point near Prince Rupert withdrew that application to start the year, focusing on another site at Digby Island.
Also withdrawn is the Farrell Creek raw gas processing plant north of Hudson’s Hope, a project taken over by Chinese-owned Progress Energy. Progress is a partner with PETRONAS in Pacific Northwest LNG at Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, with its investment decision postponed indefinitely late last year amid changing global energy supply and demand. Woodfibre LNG near Squamish is another small-scale project moving ahead, with its application for B.C. environmental assessment accepted at the end of 2014. The public comment period closed for another large-scale proposal, the Shell-led LNG Canada proposal for Kitimat.

New subdivision proposed Continued from page 1
Hales said the developer would be building up from the lower part of the hill up, and the park would be located in the upper section. CAO Wayne Staudt said the cost of putting in the park would paid by the developer, but the operation and the maintenance would be done by the city like any other park in town. Staudt also explained the zoning. “What this report here is dealing with today is simply changing the zoning to allow for the subdivision,” Staudt said. “When we get into the actual subdivision discussions with the owner then we can negotiate what the park will look like and what cost will be incurred by developers. This is the very early stages of the subdivision proposal.” Coun. Norma Blissett said it seems like a great idea. “Providing more affordable housing next to an existing adjacent neighbourhood, we’ve already got bus service over there,
and I think they’d have a great view from up the hill,” Blissett said. Coun. Danielle Cardozo asked about the safety of being vicinity of some of the industrial properties, like Farbrook and Cullen Diesel, and whether the city may be setting itself up for failure. Staudt noted there will be a 10 meter buffer from the industrial zones and the properties that back onto Farbrook are longer. “The buffer will go across the back, and part of that will be a boarded fence and a no build covenant — registered on title,” he said. “There’s a limit to how much we can do from our OCP (official community plan) and it’s usually the person that comes second that is responsible for creating it. Council passed first and second reading, the latter included referring the the proposal to Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for approval and a public hearing. The public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Monday, Jan. An aerial map of northwest Cranbrook. The proposed new subdivision would be located in the upper left 19. corner.
Conditions are ripe at South Star trails Continued from page 1
“The trail conditions are pretty good,” said Basaraba, who has volunteered with the society for the last six years. “We’ve groomed the trails last Monday. There is lots of use up there—all kinds of people. A great part about the South Star Trails is that they’re very close to the community, so if you want to go cross-country skiing on a groomed track, the only other place to go is Kimberley.” There are many different trails to chose from that totals up to 30 kilometres in a 1,300-hectare space overseen by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Popular as an easy hiking area in the spring and summer, the South Star Trails are just as enticing in the winter for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. “The snowshoe trail is very well used, there are a lot of people who use it,” said Basaraba. “I was up there this weekend and there’s an average of 20-30 cars there all day coming and going and enjoying the trails.” There are groomed and tracked trails for cross-country skiing, with some trails dedicated for dog-use. “There is a canine trail up there where you can walk around with your dog or snowshoe or cross-country ski. It’s six kilometres and there’s a picnic table,” said Basaraba. “There is a nine-kilometre snowshoe loop that you can take your dog on and it goes up to the top.” Trails are groomed after significant snowfall with the use of snowmobiles and grooming equipment purchased from private donations and funding from the Columbia Basin Trust. “Most of the money goes towards paying for the maintenance of the equipment that is used to groom the trails,” said Basaraba. There are two outhouses and picnic tables located on the trail network, plus signage and maps scattered around to help people keep their bearings.

The battle for Kennewick Man What’s Up?
Tom Fletcher My Christmas reading included a fascinating new book called Kennewick Man, a study of skeletal remains discovered in 1996 on the bank of the Columbia River in eastern Washington. He was an ancient hunter buried just south of B.C. almost 9,000 years ago, in the Early Holocene period following the last Ice Age. Among the oldest humans found along the West Coast of North America, he sparked an unprecedented battle by the Smithsonian Institution to examine the skeleton and publish the book late last year. The most controversial evidence came from the skull. It doesn’t match the classic Mongoloid profile of modern aboriginal people, key to the theory that the earliest humans reached North America by land bridge from Siberia to Alaska as glaciers receded. Smithsonian scientists confirmed initial reports that Kennewick Man is a closer match with early Polynesians, and the Ainu people who remain in Japan
today. He lived until about age 40, surviving for years with a stone spear point stuck in his hip. The authors conclude from chemical analysis that “Kennewick Man could not have been a long-time resident of the area where he was found, but instead lived most of his adult life somewhere along the Northwest and North Pacific coast where marine mammals were readily available.” This suggests migration by sea, perhaps from a great distance. The U.S. Army seized the skeleton. The scientists sued and eventually won the right to a brief examination. The court case exposed brutal and illegal actions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and federal departments to destroy the site and intimidate the scientists. U.S. law demanded all remains from before European settlement be repatriated for burial by local tribes, without examination. Umatilla tribe spokesman Armand Minthorn wrote in 1996: “We view this practice as desecration of the body and a violation of our most deeply-held religious beliefs. “From our oral histories, we know that our people have been part of this land since the beginning of time. We do not believe that our people migrated here from another continent, as the scientists do.”

Skull and reconstruction of Kennewick Man, who was buried by humans nearly 9,000 years ago next to the Columbia River. Researchers conclude he was a seal hunter who may have migrated from as far away as B.C., Alaska or even Asia. The head of the Society for American Archaeology tried to get the researchers to drop their lawsuit, fearing it would interfere with fragile relationships with area tribes. The U.S. Justice Department warned the Smithsonian that lead scientist Douglas Owsley and others might be in criminal conflict of interest as federal employees suing the government. Even the White House weighed in against them. Meanwhile the skeleton was mishandled and later stored in substandard conditions at a Seattle museum, where it remains today. Parts of both femurs were
lost, and scientists were falsely accused of taking them. They had been removed by tribal representatives and secretly buried. Kennewick Man was found as the army was in tense negotiations with tribes on salmon fishing rights on the Columbia, their demand for removal of dams, and the $100 billion cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site. The scientists finally won their case in 2004, with a ruling that the skeleton is so old there isn’t enough evidence to show it is related to the current tribes. The judge found the army repeatedly misled the court, and assessed the gov-
ernment $2.4 million in costs. The U.S. Army still controls the skeleton and denies requests for further study. The spear point, for example, could show the location where he was injured. One final irony. Analysis shows Kennewick Man ate mostly salmon in his later years, around 6300 BCE. These are the salmon runs wiped out by dams built by U.S. Army engineers before the signing of the Columbia River Treaty with B.C. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.
Three ice climbers found dead north of Whistler, near Vancouver Canadian Press
PEMBERTON, B.C. - Three ice climbers have been found dead near Whistler, B.C., north of Vancouver. The bodies of the two women and a man were discovered in a crevasse about 300 metres below Joffre Peak. RCMP Sgt. Rob Knapton said one woman and a man were in their mid-30s and that the other woman was an in-
ternational visitor in her late 20s. They were part of a group of three climbers and two skiers on the mountain in the Pemberton area, and had set off into the backcountry on Sunday before splitting up, Knapton said. “They were supposed to rendezvous at the end of the day, and when they didn’t (arrive) the skiers went looking
for them.” He said the skiers saw the body of one person who appeared to have fallen and made it out of the area to call police at about 1:30 a.m. Monday. Police and a search and rescue crew found all three bodies close to each other, and it’s possible the skiers didn’t see them all in the dark, Knapton said.
Letters to the Editor
“It appears they fell, but as far as why I couldn’t speculate on that.” The climbers were all experienced, Knapton said, adding anyone who ventures into the backcountry should be aware of the risks involved. Police have not yet been able to contact the families of all the climbers, whose names will be released later by the coroners’ service.

The Strategy of the Paris Attacks
A
fter Ahmed Merabet, a French policeman, was killed outside the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris last week, his brother Malek said: “My brother was Muslim and he was killed by two terrorists, by two false Muslims. Islam is a religion of peace and love.” It was moving, but to say that all Muslims who commit cruel and violent acts in God’s name are “false Muslims” is like saying that the Crusaders who devastated the Middle East nine hundred years ago were “false Christians”. The Crusaders were real Christians. They believed that they were doing God’s will in trying to reconquer the formerly Christian lands that had been lost to Islam centuries before, and they had the support of most people back home in Europe. Similarly, Said and Cherif Kouachi and Amedy Coulibaly believed they were true Muslims doing God’s will, and some people in Muslim-majority countries agree with them. But there is an important difference from the Crusades: the supporters of the young French terrorists are a minority everywhere, and among Muslims living in Western countries they are only a tiny minority. This is not a “war of civilisations”. Seventeen innocent people killed in Paris is not the equivalent of the Crusades. For that matter, neither was 9/11. These are wicked and tragic events, but they are not a war. There is a war going on, but it is a civil war within the “House of Islam” that occasionally spills over into non-Muslim countries. As foot-soldiers in that war, the three killers in Paris probably did not fully understand the role they were playing, but they were serving a quite sophisticated
strategy. Two of these Muslim civil wars, in Afghanistan and Iraq, were ignited by US-led invasions in 2001 and 2003. Four others, in Syria, Libya, Yemen and the northern, mostly Muslim half of Nigeria, have begun since 2011. Others go back even further, like the war in Somalia, or have flared up and then become dormant again, like Mali and Algeria. In every one of these wars the victims are overwhelmingly Muslims killed by other Muslims. From Gwynne time to time non-Muslims in other countries are killed Dyer too, as in New York in 2001, in London in 2007, in Bombay in 2008 and last week in Paris, and these killings do have a strategic purpose, but it’s not to “terrify non-Muslims into submission.” Quite the contrary. The great Muslim civil war is about the political, social and cultural modernisation of the Muslim world. Should it continue down much the same track that other major global cultures have followed, or should those changes be stopped and indeed reversed? The Islamists take the latter position. Some aspects of modernisation are very attractive to many Muslims, so stopping the changes would require a lot of violence, including the overthrow of most existing governments in Muslim countries. But that is the task that the Islamists in general, and the jihadi activists in particular, have undertaken. As they are minorities even in their own countries, the Islamists’ hardest job is to mobilise popular support for their struggle. The best way to do this is to convince Muslims that modernisation — democracy, equality, the whole cultural package — is part of a Western plot to undermine Islam.
This will be a more credible claim if Western countries are actually attacking Muslim countries, so one of the main jihadi strategies is to carry out terrorist atrocities that will trigger Western military attacks on Muslim countries. That was the real goal of 9/11, and it was spectacularly successful: it tricked the United States into invading not one but TWO Muslim countries. But smaller terrorist attacks that lead to the mistreatment of the Muslim minorities in non-Muslim countries also serve the cause. They can create a backlash that victimises the local Muslim minorities, thus generating yet more “proof” that there is a war against Islam. This strategy actually has a name. Appropriately it is in French: “la politique du pire”. It’s the strategy of making things worse in order to achieve one’s ultimate goal — in this case, revolutions that will sweep away the existing governments in almost every Muslim country and put the Islamists in power instead. There is a sub-theme in some of the Middle Eastern wars that muddies the waters a bit: in Syria, Iraq and Yemen the general radicalisation has also revived and militarised the age-old conflict between Sunni and Shia Muslims. But even in these countries most of the killings are of Sunni Muslims by other Sunni Muslims. There will be more attacks like the ones in Paris, because lost young men seeking a cause abound in every community, including the Muslim communities of the West. We can’t arrest them all, so we will go on having to live with a certain amount of terrorism from both Muslim and non-Muslim extremist groups and trying not to over-react — just as we have been doing for many decades already.

Kimberley Dynamiters claim key victories in Fernie & Golden despite injuries; prepare for Creston Valley
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Despite injuries to eight regulars and illness striking others, the Kimberley Dynamiters refused to lose, earning back-to-back victories in historically tough rinks this past weekend. The Nitros opened the weekend by becoming the first KIJHL team this season to knock off the Fernie Ghostriders in regulation at Fernie Memorial Arena, earning a 5-3 victory over the Eddie Mountain Division leaders. Saturday, in a game head coach Jerry Bancks nearly forfeited due to a lack of healthy bodies, the Nitros persevered and gutted out a shocking 8-1 road victory over the Golden Rockets. “It’s a tremendous boost -- tough buildings to win in, depleted lineup that allowed a lot of guys to play a lot of big minutes and it just seemed like we grew as a team,” Bancks said Monday. “In the back of our minds, we know we have players coming back. It’s kind of a neat situation to be in, because when we do get healthy, guys will be fighting for chances to play.” Bancks was already left without the services of six regulars due to injury, including forwards Jared Marchi, Marco Campanella, Sawyer Hunt and Jordan Roy, as well defencemen Jonas Gordon and Tristan Pagura. Defenceman James Jowsey was ill and unfit for duty. Making matters worse, the Dynamiters bench boss was ren-
dered without stalwart defenceman Jordan Busch and forward Eric Buckley before the first period of play concluded Friday in Fernie, as both were knocked out of action due to injury. “You do kind of get a bit of a sick feeling,” Bancks said. “You start to worry about how many more players you’re going to lose with fatigue, because you do play them too many minutes [as a result of other injuries]. I know we are a hard-working group. We have a lot of character in our room and we are resilient.” Goaltender Tyson Brouwer stood tall early, before Keenan Haase and captain Jason Richter each rattled off two goals to pace the offense. Coy Prevost chipped in with three helpers and the Nitros knocked off the Ghostriders for the second time this season. With Busch and Buckley added to the injury reserve, Bancks wasn’t sure he was going to be able to field the KIJHL minimum of 12 skaters required to play Saturday in Golden. “I’ve never seen this,” Bancks said. “This is the worst [injury situation] I’ve ever experienced [in my coaching career]. Jowsey, who didn’t play Friday in Fernie, was able to muster up enough energy to suit up Saturday. Forward Jordan Roy, who hasn’t played since Oct. 17 due to a broken collar bone, was only cleared to play earlier that day. The Cranbrook Knights, who house a number of the Dynamit-
ers affiliate players, were in action at the same time and only able to lend forward Chase Leroux for the cause. “With those three players added, that got us over the limit,” Bancks said. Roy ended up playing one shift, as Bancks wasn’t comfortable thrusting him into regular duty under the circumstance of returning in the rink where he suffered his collar bone injury Oct. 17. The Rockets dressed a full lineup, but were without leading scorer Ian Desrosier. What ensued was nothing short of spectacular, as the Nitros stormed past the Rockets by a final count of 8-1. Richter had himself another two-goal night, adding two assists as well. Braden Saretsky helped fuel the victory over Golden with a twogoal, two-assist performance of his own. The adversity isn’t about to end as the Dynamiters are back in action Tuesday, welcoming the Creston Valley Thunder Cats to the Kimberley Civic Centre. “Right now, over the past 10 games, Creston is probably the best team in our division,” Bancks said. “Our lineup, when you look at it, looks like the Red Cross. “[Creston Valley] has a full team [with no injuries]. They’re playing extremely well…It’s going to be a tough challenge.” The T-Cats have pounced into second in the division, going 7-2-01 through their previous 10 outings.

Deadline deals for Dynamiters Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Kimberley Dynamiters general manager Dave Smith didn’t sit idly as the KIJHL trade deadline came to pass Saturday night. The Nitros GM swung one deal with the Kamloops Storm, acquiring goaltender Brody Nelson (1995) in exchange for future considerations. After that, he signed defenceman Justin Meier (1995), who had recently been released by the Okotoks Oilers of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL). To make room, the Dynamiters parted ways with rookie backup Liam McBain (1997) and veteran forward Austin Hancherow (1995). “[Liam McBain] is just a phenomenal kid,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks Monday. “A lot of the character we have on our team to get through the weekend we just did is because we have players like Liam in our room. “He was losing confidence and was getting very frustrated. It was in his best interest to move along and he agreed.” McBain, a native of Tualatin, Ore., had been with the Dynamiters since the beginning of the season, but compli-
cations with the B.C. Hockey and Hockey Canada approval processes delayed his on-ice debut until Oct. 24. The 5-foot-10 puck-stopper went 2-6-0 with a 4.01 goals-against average (GAA) and 0.857 save percentage (SP) in nine games with this season. Taking McBain’s place between the pipes is an Invermere native familiar to many KIJHL fans within the Eddie Mountain Division. Brody Nelson comes to the Nitros as a veteran of 83 KIJHL games, including 77 with the Columbia Valley Rockies. After beginning the season with the Rockies, Nelson was dealt to Kamloops, where he went 4-2-0 with a 2.20 GAA, 0.912 SP and two shutouts from Dec. 5 to 20. “As far as I’m concerned, we stole one there,” Bancks said of acquiring Nelson. Nelson became available after the Storm acquired goalie Jake McMullen from the Grand Forks Border Bruins. Next on the agenda was adding a veteran presence on the blueline. First, the Dynamiters were forced to part with veteran Austin Hancherow. “He’s another wonderful kid, who was a big
part of our team,” Bancks said. “He basically became the odd man out. “With Keenan Haase, Lincoln Lane and Braden Saretsky coming in, that made it really difficult for him to get into [a top-six role].” Hancherow tallied five goals and 19 points in 67 games with the Dynamiters, between the 2013-14 and 2014-15 KIJHL campaigns. According to Bancks, Hancherow will finish the season playing for the CBHA Blackhawks (Junior B) in Calgary. As Hancherow headed back to Alberta, the Dynamiters dug into the AJHL to recruit defenceman Justin Meier, a native of Taber, Alta., who had been released by the Okotoks Oilers. Meier stands to help anchor a blue-line that, in the short-term, appears to be without veteran Jordan Busch, who was injured in Friday night’s 5-3 victory over the Fernie Ghostriders. Though he’s never played here, folks around the KIJHL may be familiar with Meier. According to Bancks, Meier attended Dynamiters spring camp two years ago before attending fall camp with the Ghostriders, who released him prior to the
regular season. “He’s a real character kid and a good player -good enough to play Junior A, in my opinion,” Bancks said of Meier. “It was probably just a numbers thing [that saw Okotoks release him]. We were lucky enough to get him here. “Down the road, I expect him to be playing a lot of big, big minutes… He skates well. He’s tough as nails. I’m looking forward to getting him going. I just don’t want to throw him into the fire too severely.” Meier will suit up Tuesday when the Dynamiters host the Creston Valley Thunder Cats. Nelson joined the team Saturday in Golden and was expected to start against the Rockets. In consultation with Nelson and Brouwer, Bancks opted to go with his regular starter, factoring in Nelson had not played since seeing a whopping six minutes of action Dec. 20 with Kamloops. Bancks wouldn’t tip his hat as to when Nelson will see his first start, but expects the 19-yearold to play in the coming week, whether Tuesday against Creston Valley (7 p.m. at the Kimberley Civic Centre) or on the weekend road trip through the Okanagan.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I are in our 60s and have been together for 12 years. We recently had a disagreement, and he walked away. I emailed him and he said he has feelings for me and always will, but he can’t make me happy. He said I need someone who is as romantic and financially secure as I am. He has no pension, no savings and a business that is barely surviving. He also told me that his health problems are why we haven’t had sex in four years. I am his fifth relationship that hasn’t worked out. He used to phone me every night and I miss that. After previous disagreements, he always came back. He said he doesn’t want to be in a relationship now and needs to look after his business. He claims to be a workaholic. Should I contact him again? -- J. Dear J.: How much do you want to suffer? There are reasons this man is incapable of being in a permanent relationship. If he wants that to change, he would likely need counseling to understand his motivations better. But you cannot make that happen. You can only decide what is best for YOU. Unless this man gets help and makes major changes to his life, he cannot give you any type of commitment, nor does he want to. He prefers to leave the relationship. We think you should let him. Dear Annie: When our relatives come for a visit, as they do every winter without fail, why do they expect to be treated to free accommodations and free meals, which we provide year after year, while they never offer a coffeecake or pizza or, better yet, to prepare one of the many meals expected during their visit? An offer to treat us to a meal at a restaurant, even breakfast, would be welcomed. From my perspective, these “guests” freely take our time, our generosity and our kindness at a most stressful time of year, and their only form of appreciation is the blanket invitation to “come on down” offered at their departure. Why don’t they mention possible dates for a future visit to make the invitation seem genuine? These guests do not suggest or pay for activities while visiting us. They think that since they paid to travel to us, we should be willing to cover all expenses while they are here. And since it is their vacation, they treat us as their employees. We love our family members. We are happy to see them at every opportunity. But we feel taken advantage of, especially when they notify us of the dates for their next visit. -- Planning Now Dear Planning: You are being too accommodating, and they are clueless. You need to set some ground rules. This is family. They visit every year. It’s OK to tell them what you expect. Ask them to pitch in for groceries and to help in the kitchen. Once they understand that even guests have obligations, these visits will run more smoothly for everyone. Dear Annie: This is in regards to “Outvoted,” who is debating with her siblings about replacing the batteries in Mom’s pacemaker. My family had the same problem. Dad was 92. My sister and I wanted to let him go peacefully, but my mom and brother wanted the batteries changed. We are now living a nightmare. Dad has full-blown dementia. My sister and I are the caregivers, as my brother lives three hours away and Mom is too frail to care for him. Dad is ornery and hits on every woman he sees. I change his soiled diapers and give him showers. If he were in his right mind, he would be horrified. Had Dad died two years ago, I would have wonderful memories. Now I am beginning to hate him. -- Let Her Die with Dignity Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SAN FRANCISCO One of two climbers attempting a grueling ascent up a half-mile (800 metres) of sheer granite in Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yosemite National Park was making a push Monday to catch up with his partner. Kevin Jorgeson, 30, of California, has been behind Tommy Caldwell, 36, of Colorado, for about a week as they try to scale El Capitanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dawn Wall without climbing aids other than safety ropes. A spokeswoman said Jorgeson will try to catch up with Caldwell at a rare ledge. From there, it will be a push to the 3,000-foot (900-meter) summit, possibly by midweek. On Friday, Jorgeson got past one of the most difficult stretches after days of failed attempts and waiting. He fell 11 times in a seven-day battle with the tough
section, which required him to grab onto razorblade-thin holds that tore up his fingers. The climbers are more than two weeks into what is billed as the first free climb of Dawn Wall. If the two succeed, they will be the first in the world to complete this type of climb of Dawn Wall. Free climb means the men do not use any aids in the ascent. Ropes are used only to prevent deadly falls. El Capitan, the largest granite monolith in the world has about 100 routes to the top. The first climber reached its summit in 1958. In 1970, Warren Harding and Dean Caldwell (no relation to Tommy Caldwell) climbed Dawn Wall using ropes and countless rivets over 27 days. The duo turned down a rescue attempt by park rangers in a storm.
