The combined Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit was busy in Kimberley last week following up information that led to five arrests. Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley RCMP says that police had received information relating to a January 8 break and enter at a Marysville business. “Video surveillance showed the suspect on the property and subsequent checks by the owner found storage units had been entered and items stolen,” he said. “The Cranbrook/ Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit received information related to the incident and identified a suspect. He was arrested on February 4 at which time police gathered further evidence to support a charge of Break, Enter and Theft and Disguise with In-
tent.” The subject was released on a number of conditions and will attend court in April. In the second case, four people were arrested for drug trafficking. “Late on February 11 a male from Kimberley was arrested and then on February 12, around 4:30 am, three more persons were arrested,” Newel said. “The combined Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit had received information on the two separate investigations and were able to make the arrests. Police seized quantities of cocaine, marihuana and a white powder yet to be analyzed.” One person was released without charges, three others, two females (28 and 44) and male (29) all from Kimberley were released for court in April. Police are recommending charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance.
A banner year on the rails for Mining Railway 9,880 people and 75 dogs rode on the Kimberley Underground Mining Railway in 2014 C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The Kimberley Underground Mining Railway had what Society President Mick Henningson called a banner year in 2104. Henningson was reporting at the Annual General Meeting of the Society, held last week. “During the 2014 season starting in May
and ending in September a record 9,880 people and 75 dogs rode on Society’s Trains to one or more of three destinations along the 7.5 km of track. I mention the 75 dogs, as this was the determining factor for some people to visit our train accessible attractions. This was a 9 per cent increase from ridership in 2013. Our increase in ridership was partially due to generally excellent weather throughout most of the operating season. Also, special events like the combined train/chairlift ride and “Opera Underground” increased our numbers. “The Society received many excellent comments verbally, in our guest book, and
on mediums like “Trip Advisor” about the value and quality of our unique experience highlighting the history of the Sullivan Mine. We also received Tourism Excellence Recognition from the Trip Advisor organization. “Furthermore, Kimberley’s Underground Mining Railway won the 2014 Tourism Excellence Award sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Kimberley. Our operation comes under the watchful eye of both Teck Resources and in particular, The B.C. Safety Authority. This year, we had no reportable incidents thanks to the diligence of our many shop volunteers maintaining our rolling stock; our detailed track inspec-
tions, maintenance standards and continuing track upgrades. The final factor in our Safety Record was the training and attentiveness of our engineers and conductor/commentators. “Besides the Underground Interpretive Centre and Powerhouse Attractions accessed by Train, at least another 500 people took in the free attractions located in the Downtown Station Area, bringing our total visitor number to over 10,000 people. These attractions include the 1922 C.P. Caboose, the 1902 School House and the Orpheum Theatre. See RAILWAY, page 3

Local NEWS Gov’t to introduce legislation CBT offering wage Monday to end rail strike subsidy program C anadian Press
OTTAWA - The federal government was poised to introduce legislation to end a strike by more than 3,000 locomotive engineers and other train workers at Canadian Pacific Railway. A government source told The Canadian Press the legislation will be tabled Monday morning. A notice to allow for introduction of the bill was placed on the Commons order paper late Friday afternoon. The strike against CP Rail began after contract talks failed to reach an agreement before the midnight deadline. The Teamsters Canada Rail Conference union represents the 3,300 workers. The bill, titled “An Act to provide for the resumption of rail service operations,” is to be presented by Labour Minister Kellie Leitch,who was involved in negotiations between the two sides last week. In a Staten issued Saturday night, Leitch made it clear that the government was prepared to end the strike quickly.

“Due to this reckless disregard for Canadians, and the Canadian economy, our government will review all available options to end any work-stoppage expediently, up to and including the introduction of legislation in Parliament,” she said. Peter Edwards, vice-president of Labour Relations for CP Rail, expressed support for the government’s move. “What we’re really hoping for is an agreement that will work for both, but we haven’t been able to get it” he said. “We’re supportive of getting our good railroaders back.” He said that although “the door is open” to continue negotiating with the union, no additional talks have yet been scheduled. In a message on their website, Teamsters president Douglas Finnson expressed his disappointment in “our government’s clear favouritism towards the corporate position.” CP Rail said it would use management personnel to operate a reduced freight service on its Canadian network, but Edwards said he did not know how many trains would be operating. The strike was expected to affect both passenger and freight train service across the country.

program is administered by the College of the Rockies and works very closely with businesses around the region who may not have the financial resources to hire students without the subsidy support. “It’s allowed us to offer a further product for residents of Cranbrook, it’s allowed us over the five years we’ve been involved—in our case—to hire a Cranbrook college student,” added Freitag, “and really not only have her do that job, but we gave her the ability to design it, set it up, order, schedule, so it’s kind of her own mini-business that we gave her the reins for. “So it worked out well for her and us.” Freitag said the program is a big part of his business moving forward. “We’re expanding and building a new wing this summer and trying some different areas with [a] fitness facility and so forth so we hope to incorporate the Summer Works program into some expanded services,” he said. Application forms are available starting Feb. 19 and the CBT recommends small businesses to apply as soon as possible. For more information on the program, visit: cbt.org/ summerworks2015

A banner year on the Underground Mining Railway From Page 1 “This year we also opened the Miners Cabin for display, thanks to the hard work of some of the executive. To make the 1902 Schoolhouse and Orpheum Theatre more wheelchair accessible, we were able to have a paved path constructed from the Station, across our track to the Schoolhouse and Theatre. This was possible thanks to donations from the RCR Summit Fund, Power Paving and a private contributor. “Our other major infrastructure upgrade in 2014 was replacing 200 meters of track with “wavy” 65lb. rail (from the mine) with heavier 85lb. rail in good condition. The curves on this section of track were lengthened and the grade made more consistent. The hard costs of this project were partially funded with a grant from the CBT Community Initiatives Fund recommended by the City of Kimberley and Area “E” of the Regional District of East Kootenay. Thanks to all of the above. Financially, the Society finished the year slightly in the black with enough cash on hand to cover expenses till the next operating season starting in May, 2015. Special thanks to Sharon Henry for adding a bookkeeping role to her volunteer work with the Society. The Society is very pleased to be able to offer this major heritage tourist attraction to Kimberley and Area. This is only made possible thanks to our strong volunteer base in including other members of the executive; V.P. Daniel Jarrett, Secretary Esther Jacobson, Station Manager Desiree McKay, Public Relations Director Sharon Henry and Safety Director Tom Martin. Volunteer Sever Rondesvedt, leads our 10 excellent shop volunteers who utilize their wide range of technical abilities throughout the calendar year.
“In conclusion, I thank all of our volunteers and staff for their part in making Kimberley’s Underground Mining Railroad such a success in 2014” M. Henningson The Society also has 5 certified volunteer engineers with a 6th partway through training. Volunteer Station Manager Desiree McKay also had eight volunteers who look after three of our four free attractions; the 1902 Schoolhouse, the Orpheum Theatre, and the Miner’s Cabin. Last year, these volunteers looked after 4,349 visitors to the above buildings that depict Kimberley’s History. Paid Seasonal Staff included two track maintenance personnel, one also a certified engineer. The station employed two parttime people and five high school students were employed as conductor/commentators. Two retired miners were employed for the Underground Mining Shows. Special thanks to volunteer Greg McCormick for doing our staff payroll. In conclusion, I thank all of our volunteers and staff for their part in making Kimberley’s Underground Mining Railroad such a success in 2014. I also thank all other tourism related businesses who supported us in 2014. We look forward again in 2015 for your support and, where appropriate, referring visitors to you. Also, I thank our many suppliers, the Daily Bulletin, the City of Kimberley, Area E of the Regional District and Columbia Basin Trust for their continued support of our major Heritage Tourism Attraction.

KIMBERLEY NEWS Newspaper, February 16, 1956 More Children To Receive Vaccine
East Kootenay Health Region has announced that further vaccination with the Salk vaccine will be carried out in this district commencing in April. Vaccine will be given to all children in Grades I to IX inclusive, and to those entering school in September 1956. Those who received two or three injections lst year will receive a further booster this year. All new participants will receive two injections now and a further booster seven to twelve months later. Consent form for school children will be distributed. These must be signed by the parents and the amount of vaccine available will depend on consents given. All cards must be returned by the first week in March. There will be no additional vaccine available for any late requests. Parents of children entering school in September, 1956, will be sent consent cards through the post which they are requested to return as soon as possible. As re-
cords of such children are probably inadequate parents can request registration by contacting their local public health nurse.

Opinion/Events
“The year in hunting 2014,” by F.J.Hurtak and GOS on whitetail does. Feb.10/15, by Wayne Pelter: I would like offer both my support on their views on the general open season on whitetail does in the East Kootenay hunting region and the need to stop this regulation now. I have been personally opposed to this regulation change from the very beginning and see nothing but a bad outcome from this wildlife management decision. The GOS is open to all hunters from B.C. to come to the East Kootenay region and harvest any whitetail doe, with a bag limit of two. The area can not sustain this kind of hunting pressure on our whitetail deer population. The damage has already started to show. This past fall I hunted several areas trying to get my young grandson his first whitetail buck. Areas where in the past I would see many doe deer and possibly a buck I see now few, if any, whitetail deer at all. I see more on private property around towns than I do in the bush. The few remaining pockets of whitetail populations are being very heavily hunted. I have expressed my disapproval of this regulation to our local wildlife biologists. I do not understand the reason for implementing this change in the first place. I was
told that the decision was made from input from local hunters and stakeholders. I find this hard to believe. Who is the strongest stakeholder? ICBC? I have not talked to any local hunters that I know or do not know that support this regulation. I am not 100 per cent opposed to any whitetail doe harvest if done on a very limited and controlled wildlife management plan. On a personal note while hunting last fall at the junction of Bull River and Van Creek I came upon four carcasses of recent whitetail doe kills. The two small fawns next to the adult does brought tears to my eyes. Voice support for changes to this year’s regulations. Gary Pearson Kimberley
Fluoride and chlorine
Bravo to Frank Fodor for his letter to this page on Feb. 12; he asks all the right questions to point out how extensively we are exposed to this toxic substance. He failed to point out that if toothpaste has fluoride in it, there has to be a warning label on the tube that says something like “Do not swallow, Keep out of reach of children.” In Europe 98 per cent of the water
supply is NOT fluoridated for good reasons. The kids could be given a topical fluoride treatment every year, which would be more effective and safer. I watched a presentation recently which pointed out that fluoride is accumulative in our bodies and affects the way we absorb nutrients on the cell level in our bodies, it affects our neurological system, in other words “it’s dummying down our population!” We should not chlorinate our water supply either, because it kills ALL the bacteria, the good and the bad. We could eliminate the BAD bacteria by Oxygenating — the vast majority of Europe are doing it, it costs less, is safer and is better for your health. But we don’t have a say in this because the bureaucracy knows better, they started with Chlorinating and “we’re NOT gonna change.” Go ahead Cranbrook, keep fluoridating and chlorinating your water, the Government loves it. I can hardly wait when we are told about the consequences of consuming GMO grains and the corn syrup produced from it, which is in EVERYTHING! There are many countries who have banned genetically modified grains, mainly because one company wants to control it all and does not really care about public health. J. Adank Kimberley
Moose hide symbolizes anti-violence message To m F l e tc h e r Black Press
VICTORIA – Aboriginal men gathered at the B.C. legislature Feb. 12 to urge personal responsibility to reduce violence against aboriginal women and children. The fourth annual Gathering of Men culminated with a ceremony on the legislature steps, where MLAs joined participants to acknowledge that violence against women and children is not traditional or acceptable. MLAs joined the ceremony and affixed moose hide patches to their lapels to mark the day. Paul Lacerte, founder of the campaign and executive director of the B.C. Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, said the goal is to distribute one million moose hide patches to spread the message. Across Canada, aboriginal women aged 15 and older are three

Malaysia Without Anwar Ibrahim
D
oes democracy in Malaysia really depend on Anwar Ibrahim? If it does, Malaysia’s 30 million people are in trouble. Anwar is back in jail: at least five years’ imprisonment, and another five years’ ban from political activity after that. He says he doesn’t care: “Whether it’s five years or ten it doesn’t matter to me anymore. They can give me twenty years. I don’t give a damn.” But of course he cares. By the time he’s free to resume his role as opposition leader, he’ll be at least 77. The People’s Alliance, the three-party opposition coalition that he created, can’t afford to wait ten years for him to be free. The real question is whether they can stay together without him as leader. Malaysia is formally a democracy, but the same coalition of parties, the National Front, has won every election since 1957. In the 2008 and 2013 elections, however, Anwar’s coalition began to cut seriously into the National Front vote. Indeed, in 2013 the People’s Alliance actually got a majority of the votes cast, although the ruling coalition still won more seats in parliament. But last Monday the Federal Court ruled that Anwar was guilty on a charge of sodomy (which is illegal in this Muslim-majority country) and sent him to jail. He had previously been acquitted of the charge, and many people in Malaysia suspect that the prosecutor appealed the case to move it up into the superior courts, which are more open to political influence than the lower courts. In other words, they’re getting him out of the way. The first time Anwar was charged with sodomy was in 1998, less than a month after he was fired as deputy prime minister. He had risen to the country’s second highest political post with startling speed thanks to the support of long-ruling prime
minister Mahathir bin Mohamad, but then he fell out with Mahathir (according to his own account) because of the latter’s lavish use of public funds to bail out the failing businesses of his children and cronies. In any case, it was certainly in the ruling party’s interest to silence him. No need to kill him, though; jail would keep him just as quiet. Many Malaysians believed from the start that the sodomy charge was politically motivated. Anwar was convicted (on extremely contradictoGwynne ry evidence), and sentenced to nine years in prisDyer on. But he was released in only five years, after the Court of Appeal overturned his conviction in 2004 – and immediately began trying to unite the opposition parties and create a coalition capable of challenging the National Front government that he had once served. The People’s Alliance was successful enough in the 2008 election to frighten the government, and by the strangest coincidence a second charge of sodomy was brought against Anwar only a couple of months later. Once again the “evidence” was flimsy and contradictory, and on this occasion the man who claimed to have been “seduced” had actually met with Prime Minister Najib Razak (of the National Front) two days before he laid the charges. The second sodomy case lasted four years, but Anwar was acquitted in 2012 on the grounds (as the judge said) that “The court is always reluctant to convict on sexual offences without corroborative evidence.” But the prosecutor immediately appealed the verdict, and last Monday Anwar was found guilty again. The Federal Court judge said that the evidence against him was “overwhelming”, although it was exactly the same evidence that the lower court judge had dismissed
as tainted and unreliable. Anwar is back in jail, and everybody in Malaysia is wondering what this will do to the hitherto unstoppable rise of the People’s Alliance. The People’s Alliance is a curious coalition of two secular parties that want to end the system that makes invidious distinctions between citizens who belong to different ethnic and religious groups, and an Islamist party that wants to create an “Islamic state” in a country where only 60 percent of the population is Muslim. Anwar managed to hold these parties together, but the government clearly believes that without him they will fall apart. Barely half of the people in Malaysia are actually Malays. Most of the rest are descended from Chinese and Indian immigrants who arrived in the 19th and 20th centuries, and the non-Malay population is doing much better economically than the original population. Most of the non-Malays are also non–Muslim, so the Malay population feels both exploited and threatened. Ever since the horrendous race riots in 1969, therefore, the political system has been skewed to give Malays special advantages in education, government jobs, and various other areas. That naturally creates other resentments and other problems, and the People’s Alliance (or at least most of it) wants to end those special privileges. But doing that would be both tricky and risky. If the People’s Alliance does not hold together without Anwar Ibrahim, all chance of ending the National Front’s seemingly perpetual rule will be lost. With it would be lost all hope of moving this complex country beyond the ethnic and sectarian divisions that have allowed the National Front to rack up thirteen consecutive election victories. Nevertheless, that may be what happens. In the real world, cunning and ruthlessness often beat idealism and enthusiasm.

A look to the future G Declan Hobbs debuts as Kootenay Ice drop two Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Kootenay Ice missed out on an opportunity to collect four valuable points in the race for the WHL post-season this past weekend, dropping outings against the Moose Jaw Warriors and Saskatoon Blades. There wasn’t much to cheer about Friday night at Western Financial Place as the Moose Jaw Warriors defeated the Kootenay Ice 5-1. Perhaps the brightest spot of the evening came when the Kootenay Ice and fans were given a brief glimpse into the potential franchise future between the pipes as 16-year-old Declan Hobbs made his WHL debut in relief of Wyatt Hoflin with 15:17 to play in the third period. “It was pretty nerve-racking getting out there in the last minutes, so I was pretty cold,” Hobbs said Friday night. “Once I got in there I found where I wanted to be, sort of relaxed a bit and got a little bit more confident with every save I made. It was good.” Hobbs, a native of Saskatoon, was perfect in turning aside all 10 shots he faced Friday night after Hoflin was victimized four times on 20 shots. A third-round selec-
tion (53rd overall) of the Kootenay Ice at the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, Hobbs was recalled from the Saskatoon Contacts of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League Thursday morning. Despite suggesting he was nervous, Hobbs looked anything but in his brief stint between the pipes, making a handful of saves, including a number of stops with his team playing shorthanded late in the game. “He looked good,” said Kootenay Ice forward Austin Vetterl of Hobbs’ debut. “We took a lot of penalties so he got a lot of shots on net. We didn’t give him much help, but he did a good job back there. It’s obviously nice for him to get a little taste like that and perform well.” Thursday afternoon, Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth said he believes Hobbs has the potential to be the franchise’s future in net. “I’m trying to find a steady balance in my game and have as much confidence as I can to stay in it every game and give my team the best chance to win,” Hobbs said. “If I can carry that over here [to Cranbrook from Saskatoon], I think that’ll be good.” Hobbs wasn’t given
the chance to keep his team in it Friday as he started the game on the bench, though he certainly did admirable work in keeping things from getting further out of hand. The Warriors built a 4-0 lead before Hoflin was yanked and Hobbs entered the game in the third period. Vetterl cut into the Warriors lead with a short-handed goal of his own and Point rounded out the scoring with an empty-net marker. With Hobbs’ hometown Saskatoon Blades visiting Cranbrook Sunday night, the rookie puck-stopper didn’t get much help in his first-career WHL start. Turnovers helped the Blades jump out to a 3-0 lead, with Wyatt Sloboshan, Josh Uhrich and Amil Krupic all cashing in. “We weren’t ready to play,” Vetterl said Sunday. “They outworked us at the start of the game. They got on our ‘D,’ we made mistakes and they put it in the back of our net. That put us behind the eight ball.” The Ice looked disinterested at times, but veteran forward Tim Bozon refused to let his team be shutout by the visitors. The native of Valbonne, France, got his team on the board late in the first, before adding a

Rookie Vince Loschiavo scored his fifth of the season to help the Ice claw within one before the second intermission. “It’s obviously nice to contribute a little bit,” Loschiavo said Sunday. “But we’ve also got to start putting these wins together before the playoffs.” As he’s done so many times before, Bozon took the game into his own hands late in the third period, snapping a shot past the glove of Blades goaltender Brock Hamm to tie things 4-4 with 54 seconds remain-
Canada Winter Games officially opened Team B.C. fired up at home in Prince George
For The Townsman
Team BC’s week-one athletes came together on Friday to cheer each other on and celebrate their achievements at a blue and gold themed pep rally. The athletes received an electrifying welcome from mission staff and had the opportunity to hear from Team BC’s honourary captain and Olympic silver-medalist Kelsey Serwa. Amidst chants of “we are B.C.” Serwa congratulated the team and reminded them to take a moment to recognize their own accomplishments and to show their pride in representing
the province. “There is power in numbers,” said Serwa. “Your strength as a group is so incredible. Make sure you high-five each other as you walk down the halls. And even when you are eating your meals, come together as a team. Be proud to represent B.C.” Following the pep rally, Team BC met with Premier Christy Clark, who wished the team well at the home Games. The next stop was the opening ceremony, where Team BC was led by flag bearer Micah Hart of Saanichton (women’s hockey) and
lantern bearer Aaron Mah of Vancouver (gymnastics). Freestyle skiers Mackenzie Schwinghamer, 15, and Elena Gaskell, 13, were two athletes who attended the pep rally. Hearing from an Olympian and Canada Winter Games alumna made the upcoming experience more real for both of the skiers. Schwinghamer and Gaskell will begin competition on Saturday in the slope style event. Gaskell, who is from Vernon, is looking forward to competing in her favourite freestyle event. “I feel really excited
after the pep rally and the opening ceremony,” said Gaskell. “I loved the energy of those events. I am going to try my best tomorrow and focus on completing my run. I hope to podium.” Schwinghamer will ski tomorrow but is most looking forward to the mogul event on Tuesday. “Moguls is my main event,” said Schwinghamer “but I’m also looking forward to cheering on my friends who are competing in ringette and alpine.” Official competition for the 2015 Canada Winter Games began Saturday.

Blades forward Sam McKechnie ended any hopes of an Ice victory when he deposited a two-on-one feed past Hobbs 24 seconds into overtime.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have get-up-and-go. You know what you need to accomplish, and despite a pleasant distraction or two, you will do just that. Take a hard look at your patterns and your direction. Tonight: Break out of the mold; choose to do what you want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make the most of what appears to be a calm day. Catch up on calls and visit with different people. You might be surprised by what a male friend or associate decides to share. Hold off on agreeing to any offers for the moment. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have the ability to handle problems well, as you understand that you cannot charm your way out of all of them. You could get a brilliant idea later in the day. Pursue it, and see if it works out. You might need to make some adjustments. Tonight: A partner is overly se-
rious. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Touch base with a key person on various important matters. You might feel as if you do not have the capacity to cover all the bases. Be willing to ask a partner or friend to pitch in; this person is likely to say “yes.” Tonight: Relax and visit with a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have good intentions, and will dive right into tackling your to-do list. A loved one who has been withdrawn could go on the warpath. Be willing to listen to what this person has to say without making judgments. Tonight: Go along with the program. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your imagination will help you clear away some bumps on the road of life. Someone around you could be switching back and forth from one mood to another. Observe rather than trigger. A conversation will be needed. Tonight: Head home after you visit with a pal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might discover that outside
Tundra
elements seem to be adding a new dimension of change to your personal life. If you’re considering a home office, hold off for now. Be sure to establish boundaries if others are creating uproar. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Return calls, initiate talks and answer emails as you try to schedule your week. Others seem highly responsive at this moment. Make a point of having a long-overdue conversation; the other party finally seems ready to talk. Tonight: You need some time away from it all. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A change in your perspective could make all the difference in your finances. You often have a devil-may-care attitude with money. Opt for more responsibility. Be aware of how much you have withdrawn from a relationship. Tonight: Make an important call. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Listen to a loved one who seems to be demanding your
attention. You might need to hold off on making any comments for now. Try to let this person do all the talking. Given some time to reflect, you could see a change in your response. Tonight: Make your budget. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will be out of sorts as you attempt to address a problem around you. Listen to your instincts rather than your desires with a money-related manner. A friend might be overly serious, but the issue very well could have nothing to do with you. Tonight: Spontaneity works. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The daylight hours could cause you to rethink a decision. You are likely to get more information from a friend, and might realize that you didn’t have all the facts. Make time your ally and give yourself extra time to figure out the best path. Tonight: Get some R and R.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Can you tell me whether this is a scam? Dentists are now telling seniors that their old fillings need to be replaced. My dentist told me this, and I’ve never had a bit of trouble with my fillings or teeth. I said I won’t replace them until they bother me. I was also told that I need additional, costly work done when I haven’t had a bit of trouble with the tooth in question. When I declined, I was told that when I do have trouble, they may not be able to help me. When the technician cleans your teeth, she picks at the fillings. I am convinced this loosens them. They shouldn’t do that. Now my daughter, 55, is being told the same thing, although her teeth haven’t given her any trouble. What do you say about this? -- Ventura, Calif. Dear VC: We spoke to Dr. Maria Lopez Howell at the American Dental Association. Here is what she said: “The recommendation to replace existing dental fillings is not based on a person’s age. No filling lasts forever, and the older the filling the more likely it is to show signs of wear and tear. Just because the tooth isn’t bothering you now doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem coming down the road. Conditions in your mouth change as you get older. “Regular dental visits are important to minimize the need for more extensive and, most likely, expensive procedures. Although you may not be able to tell whether your fillings need to be replaced, your dentist will check to see if the filling is sealed to the tooth. Fillings that have worn away, chipped or cracked may leave gaps through which bacteria can enter. “When your dentist recommends treatment, feel free to ask ‘why’ and say ‘show me’ on an X-ray or image so you understand what needs to be done. The ADA calls upon member dentists to be honest and trustworthy in providing patient care and to have the benefit of their patients as their primary goal. If you still feel uncomfortable with the treatment recommendations, don’t hesitate to get a second opinion.” Dear Annie My daughter-in-law is mean to my husband and me. She avoids talking to us and only includes us in family events if she has to. She only wants to do things with her friends and her family. My son says we need to “get on their schedule” way in advance, yet they are always booked up when we ask. Once or twice a year, our son brings the grandchildren over for a couple of hours. We all have a wonderful time, and the kids wonder why they don’t see more of us. I loved my mother-in-law with all my heart. She and my mother were both great ladies who welcomed everyone and treated them with love and respect. I wish my daughter-in-law would open her mind and her heart to the possibilities. Other than prayer, I don’t see a solution. -- Sad Motherin-Law Dear Sad: Your letter voices a common complaint. All we can advise is to do your best to make friends with your daughter-inlaw. Be gracious, generous and forgiving. Find something to praise about her and do so. We hope she will come around, and that your son will continue to include you in their lives. Dear Annie: I am writing about “Louise in Louisville,” who wondered whether her 60-year-old boyfriend was cheating, because their sex life had declined. He could be having problems with erectile dysfunction, as well as prostate problems, diabetes and numerous other medical issues. He could be terribly upset that he cannot be intimate with her, and that’s why he closes himself off. Some men feel embarrassed or ashamed when they cannot perform. My husband has similar problems, but we talk about it. There are other ways to show your partner how much you love them. -- Louisville Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

She is survived by her children Gus (Jackie), Renata (Mike), Reno (Karen), and Dianella (Robert). She took great pride in her grandchildren Renata (James), Ryan (Jessica), Dane, Andrew, and Emma, and great grandchildren Krista and Kalyn. She leaves behind sisters Itala (Bruno) and Adriana (Dennis), and brothers Alfonso (Jan), and Gigiuti (Lily) and family. She was a talented seamstress, cook, and gardener.

Man in alleged Halifax shooting plot never spoke of guns: friend C anadian Press
HALIFAX - A man who went to rock shows with one of the young men alleged to have been planning a Valentine’s Day shooting on a Halifax mall says his acquaintance never spoke of guns to him. Call centre worker Vincent Appleton said he was friends with Randall Steven Shepherd, 20, who was charged Saturday with conspiracy to commit murder. He never mentioned firearms, said Appleton. “It throws you back a little bit. It gives you pause,” said the 35-year-old, who had planned to spend Saturday morning at the Halifax Shopping Centre, where police allege the attack was to take place. Lindsay Kantha Souvannarath, 23, of Geneva, Ill., has also been charged with conspiracy to commit murder. And police found a 19-year-old suspect dead in a house in suburban Timberlea on Friday.
Randall Steven Shepherd The identity of the deceased suspect has not been released by police, but some published reports have put a name to the 19-year-old. Appleton said he was friends with the young person named in those reports, as well as Shepherd, and that he went to rock shows with them and had them over for a few beers
at his apartment. A social networking website believed to be linked to the deceased 19-year-old features pictures of weapons, Nazi symbols and images relating to the Columbine school shooting. Other pictures on the social media site show the young man posing with a rifle and a knife. On Feb. 5, an image circulated on another account featuring the 19-year-old’s username and the phrase: “Valentine’s Day it’s going down.” Appleton said Shepherd had appeared to him to be a “happy guy,” who was “rocking out his hair at the bar.” Cindy Greenwood, a neighbour a few doors from the home where the young man’s body was found, said she knows Shepherd’s parents at the local Seventh Day Adventist Church. “This is really shocking. ... The parents are good people. They attend church. It’s a nice
family. I’m not sure what they even know of this so far,” she said. Meanwhile, police in Geneva, just west of Chicago, say they searched Souvannarath’s home Friday night and seized several items. A former neighbour, Eva Schooley, moved into the same cul-de-sac a few months after the Souvannaraths in 2000 and lived across from them for about a decade, the Associated Press reported Saturday. She recalled them as “very nice people” and said they participated in frequent block parties, Easter egg hunts and Halloween parties. “My granddaughters ran around with Lindsay,” she told AP. “Lindsay was a little strange. I think at one point she went kind of gothic on us for a while. She liked to dress in black, the whole gothic style.” Police said Souvannarath and Shepherd will be in court Tuesday to face the charges.

Israeli leader calls for ‘massive’ Avalanche tears Jewish immigration after attack down mountain in Josef Federman Associated Press
JERUSALEM - Israel’s prime minister on Sunday called for the “massive immigration” of European Jews to Israel following a deadly shooting near Copenhagen’s main synagogue, renewing a blunt message that has upset some of Israel’s friends in Europe. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that at a time of rising anti-Semitism in Europe, Israel is the only place where Jews can truly feel safe. His comments triggered an angry response from Copenhagen’s chief rabbi, Jair Melchior, who said he was “disappointed” by the remarks. “People from Denmark move to Israel because they love Israel, because of Zionism. But not because of terrorism,” Melchior told The Associated Press. “If the way we deal with terror is to run somewhere else, we should all run to a deserted island.” Netanyahu issued his call during the weekly meeting of his Cabinet, which approved a previously scheduled $46 million plan to encourage Jewish immigration from France, Belgium and Ukraine - countries where large numbers of Jews have expressed interest in moving to Israel. France and Belgium have experienced deadly attacks on their Jewish communities in in recent years, most recently an attack in Paris last month that killed four Jews at a kosher market. Ukraine, mean-
while, is in the midst of a conflict between government troops and Russian-backed separatists. “This wave of attacks is expected to continue,” Netanyahu told his Cabinet. “Jews deserve security in every country, but we say to our Jewish brothers and sisters, Israel is your home.” Netanyahu’s comments came amid a tight re-election campaign ahead of March 17 elections. Seeking a third consecutive term, Netanyahu has focused his campaign on Israel’s security needs, repeatedly warning voters about the many threats from Islamic radicals throughout the region. There was no immediate reaction from his chief opponents. Netanyahu spoke at a time of rising tensions with European countries over Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, captured territories claimed by the Palestinians. Some Israelis believe such criticism has helped fuel anti-Semitism. European leaders, however, have insisted that their criticism has no bearing on the treatment of their own Jewish communities. When Netanyahu rushed to France following the deadly supermarket standoff and urged the country’s Jews to move to Israel, French leaders signalled their unhappiness. “France, without the Jews of France, is no longer France,” French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said at the
time. The government has since beefed up protection at synagogues, Jewish schools and other sensitive sites. French Jews have been increasingly migrating to Israel, a pattern that dismayed the French government well before the attacks at the kosher supermarket and since has left top officials pleading for them to stay. In 2014, more than 7,000 French Jews left, more than double the number for 2013. The exodus from France accelerated after the March 2012 attacks by Mohammed Merah, who stormed a Jewish school in Toulouse, killing three children and a rabbi. Last month’s attack in France was part of a wave of violence that killed a total of 17 people carried out by extremists who claimed allegiance to the al-Qaida and Islamic State extremist groups. In Denmark, Jens Madsen, head of the Danish intelligence agency PET, said investigators believed the gunman who killed two people in separate attacks was inspired by Islamic radicalism. Denmark is known for saving most of its Jews during World War II. There are an estimated 6,000 to 7,000 Jews in Denmark today. Melchior, the chief rabbi, said the Jewish victim was Dan Uzan, whom he called an “irreplaceable” security guard protecting the city’s Jewish community.
Alberta, catching 5 and killing 1 Canadian Press
CANMORE, Alta. - One person has died in an avalanche that swept down an Alberta mountain and dragged five people through the trees. A public safety specialist with Alberta Parks says the group were in a section of Kananaskis County called Black Prince on Saturday afternoon when the slide hit. Mike Koppang says the area is popular with skiers who hike up the mountain and ski down it. He says the avalanche was 80 metres wide, up to a metre deep, and ran for about 600 metres. Koppang says there’s no cellphone service in the area, and two of the party had to hike to their cars and drive for help. The body of the dead person was carried off the slope by helicopter as were two injured people - one with a broken leg, one with minor injuries. Parks Canada and Alberta Parks have issued a special avalanche warning for the mountain parks this weekend due to complex snowpack. They’ve recommended that even experienced backcountry recreationists travel on simple terrain such as small, low angle, well-supported features with no large steep slopes or cornices above. Koppang says all five who were involved in Saturday’s avalanche were carrying avalanche beacons, shovels and probes.

The compositions are appearing in no particular order. Due to length constraints, not all selections can be published here, but all will be available on our website, at www.dailytownsman.com/ourtown/292018351.html My Special Guy Who do you think I am writing about? He has short black hair with a little bald spot in the middle of his head. Like a bird’s nest in his hair. He has shiny brown, glistening eyes with a sparkle in the corner of his eye. The best hobby he has is making me laugh so hard that I cannot breathe. He makes the best food in the world even if it doesn’t work out, he still tries new foods. One time he tried making a pot of French toast but in the morning, it was a big disaster. He loves meat so he goes hunting for meat. If he does not shoot something, he goes to the store and buys meat. He works as a garbage man and he drives a huge truck. He goes to people’s homes and takes their garbage. He is the worst dancer in the world, but I think he is good because it is funny when he dances. He makes everyone laugh and laugh. He loves sports. He played baseball and hockey but does not anymore because he is too old. He is 50! He is the best person in the world. These are the things I like doing with him. I like going to the hockey game but I go just for the delicious food. I went to one of the hockey games and the other team scored on his own net. We like watching TV together but we can’t always agree on the same show. We like going camping with the family at Kootenay Lake. We love to go swimming in the lake. Some of the things he cooks, I help him with. He is the best person in the world. These are some interesting things about him. He is one of the most hilarious guys I know. He is a bad dancer but that is what makes him funny. He is the best person in the world. Things that make me laugh. He loves to dance the tango and talk in a Scottish accent. Also when he acts like the bogeyman trying to eat me. Have you guessed who he is? I will give you a hint….My Mom and I are the boss of him! He is my Dad, Mark. He always says, “Ahhhh, Muffin.” He is the best person in the world. Tianna Kofluk Grade 4, Young Writers Group Winter Winter is all about having fun. Christmas is when Santa comes and brings us presents. You can do a lot of fun things in winter. You can drink hot chocolate. There are lots of cool things that animals can do in the winter. They can change colour. The weather can get really cold and it can snow. It can also be really icy. What most people like about Christmas is decorating the tree. When you want to go outside, you have to dress warm. You have to wear snow pant, mittens, a hat, coat and boots. Winter is a lot of fun because you get to spend time with your family. Winter is all about being happy. Lots of people love winter because winter is fun. I love winter. Winter is also about being thankful. Winter is fun. Quinn Featherling-Craig Grade 2, Pinewood School On the weekend I went Christmas tree hunting with my family. The tree was humongous! We decorated the tree last night. It was cold. It was the bushiest tree we ever had before because we found it by itself. I was really glad we got it before somebody took it. Laney Lepine Grade 1, Pinewood School Robbie Burns Day Yay! Today we had Robbie Burns day! It was great! The first thing we did at the assembly was the phenomenal Address to the Haggis. When Mrs. James did the address, everyone was in shock as if a knight dressed in armour came in. She was speaking dramatically in a Scottish accent while she swung her sparkling knife about and stabbed the haggis. Yay! We also had people from different schools come to dance for us. The first Highland Dance was done by really little kids who came to our school. It was TOO cute. Jaimee and Joelle did the Sword Dance. It was something! Last but not least, the students from the Pinewood Highland Dance group danced. It was so funny, but not in a rude way because everyone was going different

Yay! In Scotland, people invented things like TV, telephones, the steam engine, pavement, bikes and stamps. People were very smart at that time. The Grade Six class made clues and we had to guess the inventions that were made in Scotland. If we guessed it right, we got t-shirts from the Highland Games. It was pretty cool. Yay! The best part of the day is… don dan daw… the Heavy Events. The Sheaf Toss was my favorite. You had to throw a sack backwards over a high bar. Then we had a Caber Toss and putting the stone. Putting the stone, in my opinion was pretty cool because you had to throw the stone and yell your last name. Mr. McPhee was our guest and he showed us how to do the events. I love Robbie Burns Day. It is very fun and it celebrates my Scottish heritage. Kya Chisholm Grade 4, Pinewood Elemenatry School Messy Room Poem This house is in a state of disarray, It’s a wonder visitors don’t run away. The doorbell has you greeted with a sound quite defeated; The door just moans over what it owns. Entertainment is a chore, despite what it’s for: Movies are missing their discs, making me have to frisk And finding endless trash instead! They never use Swiffer, but they beg to differ, saying “Cleaning is pointless as long as you ignore your sniffer!” The washing machine needs a wash itself, And don’t get me started on the bathroom shelf. This house is so vile I likely should file For an eviction, then tear it all down! Will they clean on any future day? Our only real choice is to pray. Jayce Catherall Grade 9, Parkland Middle School
Boucle d’Or et les trois souris Voici l’histoire de Boucle d’Or et les trois souris Smach, Crach, et Dach. Un jour Boucle d’Or entend quelque chose qui vient du mur. Elle cherche sa potion et elle se tasse et va dans la maison des souris au mur. Et elle voit trois bols de fromage. Elle va au premier bol de fromage. C’est la poutine. Elle l’a mangée. Elle va au deuxième bol de fromage. C’est de l’eau-fromage. Elle l’a mangé. Elle va au dernier bol de fromage mais la souris l’a déjà mangé. Mais tout à coup elle entend un bruit dans une des chambres. Elle va dans un des chambres qui est remplie des chaises. Elle va sur une des chaises mais ce n’est pas très beau. Alors elle va à l’autre chaise, c’est bon. Elle voit un téléphone alors elle le met dans son sac. Elle voit une autre chambre et elle voit les trois souris qui pratiquent leur musique avec leurs pattes. Boucle d’Or va dans sa chambre et prend sa boite spéciale et l’amène dans la maison des trois souris et dit « Bonjour j’ai des instruments dans cette boite. » Smach a pris les ciseaux, Crach a pris le couvercle de la colle et Dach a pris le livre. Boucle d’Or dit « tu peux vivre dans ma chambre. » Alors, les souris mettent toutes les choses dans sa chambre et elles étaient amies pour toujours. La fin. Jasmin MacNeill T.M.
