A mini-baby boom to help launch spring FO R THE TOWN S MAN
The Cranbrook area is finishing off the winter with a mini-baby boom, according to Interior Health. Karl Hardt, Communications Officer for Interior Health East, wrote in an

For a site that generally averages fewer than two deliveries a day, delivering 11 babies in 24 hours was a testament to the dedication, teamwork and flexibility of the great staff and physicians.
“This required monumental effort and everyone stepped up and helped out in spite of the pressures being felt in every unit,” said Karyn Morash, EKRH Acute Health Services Director. “We are learning daily
how to strengthen our teamwork within departments and between programs. It’s a difficult but exciting time to be in healthcare and I’m happy to be in it with all y’all.”
Bear sign City CAO set to retire
Poor berry crop means bears denned up skinny and may have depleted fat stores, leading them to emerge from hibernation early C A R O LYN G R A N T
It was an unusually warm February, and March is continuing in the same fashion. Does this means bears will be emerging from hibernation early? There has been some early bear activity in the Kootenays, both east and west, already this year, says Frank Ritcey, Provincial Coordinator of WildSafe BC, but the cause may not be warm weather. “In general, bears do not come out early as a response to warm weather,” he said. “The bigger factor is how much fat they have. A bear with good fat stores will stay in hibernation longer. “If the bear is skinnier and the fat reserve depleted, it will get up to find food. “My theory is that we will see more bears

early this year because they went into hibernation thinner, because of poor berry crops, among other things. However, there is nothing to prove that theory yet.” There are reports of bear activity in the area, although none in Kimberley yet. In Cranbrook, a black bear was spotted on February 2 — that is quite early, Ritcey says. In Fernie, there have been two bear sightings reported and one in Elkford on January 15. “The thing is, with bears there are always some outliers, every winter the odd bear shows up. It could be because their den was disturbed; say a bear denned in a snowbank and someone walked over it.
TRE VOR CR AWLEY
After 14 years of service to the City of Cranbrook, Chief Administrative Officer Wayne Staudt will retire on March 24, 2016. Staudt, who has served in the CAO capacity since 2012, has previously announced his intention to retire, however, he postponed it in order to help the new mayor and council get their feet under them after the 2014 election. The City is currently involved in a recruitment process and hopes to make an announcement in the near future. An interim CAO position will be appointed until a permanent candidate is hired. Staudt, who has lived in Cranbrook since 1978, joined the city administration in 2002 as the Director of Finance before taking on CAO duties and has worked with six councils and four mayors over his tenure.

Middle School students from Kootenay Christian Academy put on an amazing drama production for the community. The production “The Ransom of Miss Elverna Dowers” sent the message of not judging a book by it’s cover. There was a lot of laughter mixed in with the story about grace, forgiveness, and hope. Mrs. Abrey and Mrs. Morrison, the KCA drama teachers, helped the students to do an exceptional job performing! The students are so gifted and it is a blessing to have this incredible drama program at KCA. Can’t wait to see what they do for their Celebration of Arts in April.
City waives fees for Sam Steele ball tourney TRE VOR CR AWLEY
Sam Steele Days is three months away but the subject came up at a regular city council meeting on Monday. Mayor and council waived the $716.65 in rental fees for the fields at the Kinsmen Quad Ball Park and the Moir Park ball diamonds for the annual Sam Steele SloPitch tournament.
That touched off a discussion about a recent trend of the tournament extending into the late (or early) hours of the night, as teams are sometimes still on the field after midnight. “We actually get surprisingly few complaints about the late hour,” said Wayne Staudt, Chief Administration Officer for the City of Cran-
Denning up skinny, waking up hungry CONTINUED from page 1 “So far we are not seeing a pattern. There has been quite a bit of activity around Christina Lake and Grand Forks.” However, Ritcey says it is definitely time to start thinking about attractants. “You definitely don’t want a bear’s first meal after hibernation to be one you provided. I liken it to walking by a park bench and finding a $100 bill. You are going to check under that park bench every time you go by it. Bears are like that. If they get fed, they go back. “We’re getting into spring. You want to take down your bird feeders, store your garbage safely, put pet food away. If you do feed your pet outside, make sure the food is put away after.” Ritcey says that when bears first come out they are looking for fresh grass. “Wherever you have grass greening up early, like on south-facing slopes, keep an eye out for bear sign. It’s time to start being cautious.”
brook, after a question from Councillor Ron Popoff. “We get more complaints doing this late-hour thing over at Rotary Park, but at the ball diamonds, we rarely get any complaints.” Councillor Tom Shypitka also wondered if there had been any complaints around any bars or pubs. “We haven’t received any
complaints from them either,” Staudt continued. “My sense is that during Sam Steele Days, everybody’s busy. All the bars are busy and everybody’s busy.” The discussion also brought up a funding sticking point, as any community organization requesting funding from the city must go through a new grant ap-
plication process that opens up in the spring. The ball tournament organizers were requesting funding through a contingency fund, which council has the discretion to authorize a limit of roughly $500. The Slo-Pitch tournament is one of the premier events of Sam Steele Days, attracting 70 teams from
Western Canada and the U.S. to compete in three separate divisions of competitiveness. Funds raised from the tournament are returned into capital projects for Cranbrook ball diamonds such as a double batting cage at Confederation Park and a bathroom/outhouse/storage facility at Moir Park.
Staudt to retire as City CAO CONTINUED from page 1 “I would like to thank Mayor Pratt and his councillors for the confidence they have shown in me as a new council in 2014,” said Staudt. “I have enjoyed working with all the mayors and councils over the years and have tremendous appreciation for the contributions each has made to the City’s sustainability and the quality of life enjoyed by its residents.” Staudt notes the city’s Asset Management Plan was one of the most significant accomplishments during his tenure because it will help prioritize in-
frastructure projects. Other significant projects Staudt is proud of includes the recent announcement of $2.8 million in government gas tax funding for the Idlewild Rehabilitation project, the completion of the new fire hall and training centre, and the successful resolution of a number of legal cases. During his time as Director of Finance, Staudt’s accomplishments included the termination of the P3 agreement with Keen Rose at the Rec Plex, construction of the new library, the new air terminal building and the expansion of the run-
way at the Canadian Rockies International Airport and leading the city’s budgeting process for a decade. “One person can’t accomplish much on his own,” said Staudt, “so the success I have enjoyed at the City is due to the significant contributions of Council and staff at all levels.” At a regular city council meeting on Monday, Mayor Lee Pratt and his fellow councillors took time to acknowledge Staudt for his service to the city. “Wayne’s knowledge of city affairs and legislative procedure were very helpful to us in some of the decisions
we made over the past year,” said Pratt. “Wayne’s patience and understanding was invaluable to us in many ways. I have enjoyed working with him. We wish Wayne all the best in his retirement activities along with good health an happiness.” Staudt said he is anticipating his retirement and joked that even though he won’t be at city hall, he will still have his eyes on coun-
cil.
“It’s really been an honour to work with you and I really enjoyed it,” Staudt said. “You have an excellent mayor and council and you’ve got an excellent staff. I think the city is in great hands and I’m looking forward to my retirement. “I’ll be watching you and if you ever need any free advice, give me a call. I’ll be happy to help anybody at any time.”

China: Another Chairman Mao? Opening the National People’s Congress in Beijing last Saturday, Prime Minister Li Keqiang set China’s growth target for the coming year at 6.5-7 percent, the lowest in decades. Only two years ago, he said that 7 percent was the lowest acceptable growth rate, but he has had to eat his words. He really isn’t in charge of very much any more. The man who is taking charge of everything, President Xi Jinping, is now turning into the first one-man regime since Deng Xiaoping in the 1980s. The “collective leadership” of recent decades has become a fiction, and Xi’s personality cult is being vigorously promoted in the state-controlled media. Xi has also broken the truce between the two major factions in the Chinese Communist Party, who might be called the “princelings” and the “populists”. Xi, as the son of a Communist Party revolutionary hero who ended up as vice-premier, is princeling to the core. His centralising, authoritarian style is typical of this privileged breed. The populists, like Li Keqiang, are generally people who grew up poor, usually in the interior, not in the prosperous coastal cities. They rose to prominence more by merit than by their connections, and they are more alert to the needs of vulnerable social groups like farmers, migrant workers and the urban poor. Most of them have come up through the Communist Youth League, and are known in Chinese as tuanpai (“the League faction”). Frightened by the non-violent demonstrations that challenged the Communist Party’s monopoly of power in 1989, for almost three decades these two factions have carefully shared power and never attacked each other in public. Xi has now broken that non-aggression pact, authoris-
ing open attacks on the “mentality” of the Communist Youth League in the media. The friction between the factions has grown so great mainly because the Chinese economy is stumbling towards a crisis. Neither faction has a convincing strategy for avoiding the crisis, but each has come to believe that the other’s political style – authoritarian for the princelings, populist for the tuanpai – will make matters worse. The Communist Party’s dictatorship is founded on an unspoken contract with the we will proGwynne population: vide constantly rising living standards, and in Dyer return you will not question our authority. But no economy can grow at 10 percent a year forever, or even at the currently advertised rate of 6.5-7 percent. In fact, China’s growth rate actually collapsed about seven years ago, but it has so far been hidden by a binge of debt-fuelled investment. When most of the world went into a deep recession after the financial crisis of 2008, the Chinese regime artificially kept the country’s growth rate up by raising the proportion of GDP devoted to investment in infrastructure to an incredible 50 percent. In the following five years, China was building a new skyscraper every five days. It built more than 30 new airports, subway systems in 25 cities, the three longest bridges in the world, more than 10,000 km (6,000 miles) of high-speed railway lines, and 40,000 km. (26,000) miles of freeways. Tens of thousands of high-rise residential towers went up around every city. But the new towers remain largely empty, as do many of the freeways. These are investments that produced jobs at the time, but will not produce an adequate re-
turn on investment for many years, if ever. And to finance all this, the government let the country’s debt burden explode, from around 125 percent of GDP in 2009 to 220 percent now. All of this investment has been counted in the GDP figures, but up to half of it, or maybe even more, is bad debts that will eventually have to be written off. If only half of it is bad debts, then China’s GDP growth in the past five years has really been around 2 percent, not 7-8 percent. The crisis can be disguised for a while longer by printing more money, which the regime is doing. But that is putting downward pressure on China’s currency, the yuan, which is currently over-valued by around 15-20 percent. Devaluation would give a temporary boost to China’s exports, but it could also trigger an international trade war that would drag everybody’s economy down. So at the moment China is spending $90 billion in foreign exchange each month to keep the value of the yuan up, but even with its immense foreign exchange reserves that is an unsustainable long-term policy. Sooner or later there is going to be a “hard landing”, and the regime’s very survival may be at risk. There is no evidence that President Xi Jinping has a better strategy for mastering this crisis than the rival faction, but the storm is obviously approaching and he is battening down the hatches. In his view, that means taking absolute power and building a personality cult of a sort that has not been seen in China since the demise of Mao Tse-tung. He is certainly not a vicious megalomaniac like Mao, but he clearly believes that he will need total control to get through the storm without a shipwreck.

Shorthanded Ice overpowered by Hurricanes With only 15 skaters, Kootenay Ice out-gunned by high-flying Lethbridge Hurricanes in WHL action Tuesday
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Central Division-leading Lethbridge Hurricanes provide a tall enough task for the Kootenay Ice on the best of nights this season. Tuesday at Western Financial Place, the Ice took on the challenge of only having nine healthy forwards to deploy against the high-flying Hurricanes. There wasn’t much an overpowered and outnumbered group could do but hang on for dear life. When the ride was finally over, the Hurricanes skated away with a 7-2 victory. “It’s a pretty remarkable challenge, there’s no question,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, following Tuesday’s loss. “I don’t think it matters who you are, what players they are — that number of bodies… it’s pretty next to impossible to compete. “But there were some simple mistakes that have nothing to do with a lack of bodies or fatigue, just things we have to get better at.” Tanner Lishchynsky and Max Patterson provided scoring for the Ice, while Cory Millette, Giorgio Estephan, Jordy Bellerive, Ryan Vandervlis, Arvin Atwal and Tyler Wong responded for the Hurricanes. Between the pipes, Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin did all he could for as long as he could, turning aside 36 of the 43 pucks sent his way. At the other end, Stuart Skinner made 24 saves for his career-high 25th victory of the campaign. “We just got pucks deep,” said Vandervlis, who finished the night with a goal and two assists to his credit. “We got down 1-0 but we stuck to our game plan, got on the body and threw pucks at the net.” Despite the lack of
bodies, the Ice battled to keep the contest within reach up until the last moment of the second period. After two great scoring chances for the Ice courtesy Zak Zborosky and Vince Loschiavo, the Hurricanes picked up the puck after Loschiavo’s attempt missed high. Brayden Burke lugged it the length of the ice before feeding Vandervlis, who deposited it off the odd-man rush with less than a second remaining in the period. Two missed opportunities at one end compounded with capitalizing at the other, and the Hurricanes took a 4-1 advantage to the dressing room after 40 minutes of play. “The whole game can be summed up in what-ifs,” Pierce said. “What if we score on that 2-on-1 at the net? What if we score on a couple great chances on the power play? What if we get out of the first period 1-1? What if we make a better play on that 2-on-1 with point whatever seconds left? Or back it up six seconds and hit the net, have a faceoff in their end — now you’re out of the [second] period 3-1 and you’re starting to press. “You can say, ‘What if you had more players?’ But it doesn’t do us any good.” Midway through the third period, Patterson pulled the Ice back within a pair after sending a quick shot from the slow slot past Skinner to make it 4-2. “They play fast, physical and strong,” Patterson said of the Hurricanes. “We need to play smarter in order to play with them through a 60-minute game. “You can’t take winning for granted. Every night it’s going to be a
battle. Every game, you need to play your best.” But the boost was brief as Bellerive tallied his second of the night only 55 seconds later to restore the three-goal advantage and kickstart the onslaught. Atwal scored exactly 60 seconds later to make it 6-2 and Wong piled on less than two minutes after that to push the score to 7-2. Lishchynsky opened the scoring, sending a rebound high over the shoulder of Skinner for a 1-0 Ice lead. From there, the undermanned home team did all it could to build energy early in the proceedings. Off the ensuing faceoff, Carter Folk skated in alone on Hoflin, who laid out for a critical save to preserve the one-goal lead. Moments later, Mario Grman levelled Folk with a heavy, clean hit at centre ice. Coming to his teammate’s aid, Brady Reagan dropped the mitts, engaging in a spirited tilt with the Ice import. The two went blow for blow over an extended scrap before Reagan landed a heavy shot to drop Grman, who immediately left via the tunnel. Grman missed a few shifts, but returned to action later in the period. After giving it a go late in the first period, Grman was ultimately unable to continue, leaving Pierce undermanned on the blueline for the final 40 minutes of the night. “It was just his nose as far as I could tell,” Pierce said. “But man, that kid is a warrior. He is a tough kid. Give him credit — he came back out and tried to play, I think he tried three or four shifts, but he couldn’t breathe. Pretty tough to play, but give him credit for trying.

Ice defenceman Mario Grman (#9) lands a heavy right punch as he scraps with Hurricanes defenceman Brady Reagan (#28) during first-period action Tuesday night. “In the situation we’re in, I think some lesser men probably would have shut it down, but he did everything he could to play.” As the period wore on, the Hurricanes took a hold of puck possession and turned the game in their favour. Hoflin was able to swallow up a few good scoring opportunities, including a great one from the slot courtesy Wong, but eventually Millette parked himself on the doorstep and redirected a Vandervlis shot from the circle to tie the game 1-1. The Hurricanes took the lead 2:30 after Millette tied it, as Estephan forced a turnover at the Ice blueline. Collecting the loose rubber, the Buffalo Sabres’ prospect skated in alone on Hoflin and burned a hot wrist shot to the back of the net for a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes. With the win, the Hurricanes improved to 44-21-1-1 on the season, remaining three points
ahead of the Red Deer Rebels (42-22-1-2) for first place in the WHL’s Central Division. Next up, the Hurricanes and Rebels meet in a home-and-home this weekend that will weigh heavily into the outcome atop the division. “We’re not really worrying about the other teams we’re in that race with,” Vandervlis said. “We’re just focusing on our own game… We can only control our own destiny, so as long as we’re not worrying too much about what they’re doing and just worrying about our game, we’ll be fine. “[The home-andhome] is huge, but at the same time, it’s just another two hockey games. We’re still three points up on them, so we’re in a good spot going in. We know if we play our game, we’ll be fine.” For the Ice, Tuesday’s loss drops the squad to a WHL-worst 10-51-6-0. Next on the docket is a home-and-home with

Dynamiters push Thunder Cats to brink Offensive outburst lights fuse as Kimberley Dynamiters take stranglehold on division final with Creston Valley Thunder Cats
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
With the Kimberley Dynamiters looking for a stranglehold on their best-of-seven Eddie Mountain Division final with the Creston Valley Thunder Cats, 20-yearold veteran Franco Colapaolo almost didn’t play. In fact, he was prepared to be a healthy scratch after not taking the warmup ahead of Game 3 at the Johnny Bucyk Arena in Creston. To this point in the post-season, that might not be a surprise to most Dynamiters fans, with Colapaolo only having skated in three games prior to Tuesday, all of which came during the first round against the Fernie Ghostriders. But sometimes fate has different plans. After forward Keenan Haase took warmups and was unable to fight through a nagging injury, Colapaolo was a late addition to the lineup Tuesday night and the move paid off in spades as the Calgary native posted a goal and an assist to boost the Dynamiters to a 5-2 victory and 3-0 series lead over the Thunder Cats. “It’s a great lesson for people. [Colapaolo is] one of those kids, when you told him he wasn’t going to play, you knew
you were talking to a man,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, over the phone from Creston following Tuesday’s win. “He looked you in the eye, went to the gym and did his workouts. He stayed positive and skated a couple times with some old-timers because we didn’t have ice. He did everything well. “He didn’t even get to warm up [Tuesday]… He sat in the dressing room with his gear on and when he got the chance, he came through for us. It’s a credit to his character, how he handled the whole thing.” The 5-foot-10, 180pound Colapaolo tallied the insurance marker, while Brodie Buhler, Jared Marchi and Austyn Moser provided the rest of the offense, helping the Dynamiters to a five-goal offensive outburst in a series that had only seen six total goals scored between both clubs through Games 1 and 2. Carson Cartwright and Alec Wilkinson responded for the Thunder Cats, but not until midway through the third period as the Nitros sat with a comfortable 5-0 lead. Between the pipes, Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer made 29 saves for his seventh vic-
tory of the post-season, while Thunder Cats netminder Brock Lefebvre was victimized five times on 25 shots. With the win, the Dynamiters have an opportunity to sweep the Eddie Mountain Division final Wednesday night (7:30 p.m.) as Game 4 is scheduled to go at the Johnny Bucyk Arena in Creston. Outside of Colapaolo’s fateful evening, the Dynamiters were powered by veteran Kimberley product Marchi, who registered two goals. “This was his best game of the series, for sure,” Bancks said of the 20-year-old Marchi. “He logs pretty big minutes. He did a great job and it’s nice to see him get rewarded.” Buhler opened the scoring in the first period before Marchi scored consecutively in the second period to extend the visitors’ lead to 3-0. Colapaolo added his first goal of the post-season with 6:45 remaining in the second period. Moser rounded out the Nitros scoring only 1:10 into the third period, and that was more than enough to take care of business. Taking a 3-0 series lead is familiar territory for the Dynamiters. In the division semifinal against the Ghostriders, the Nitros also vaulted

Dynamiters forward Franco Colapaolo (#14) was a late entry into the lineup Tuesday night and fate had it right as the 20-year-old forward registered a goal and an assist to help boost his team to a 5-2 victory over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in KIJHL playoff action. ahead 3-0 before dropping a Game 4 opportunity to sweep. “Fernie taught us a great lesson,” Bancks said. “We went into that fourth game thinking they’re going to lay down and die. I can promise you, there’s somebody in Fernie’s dressing room that wasn’t going to allow that to happen and got the boys going. “I’m fairly certain Creston will be the same way [Wednesday] night. It will be the toughest game of the series, for sure.”
MOSCOW - Two of Maria Sharapova’s major sponsors are cutting ties with the Russian tennis star after she acknowledged failing a doping test at the Australian Open. Sportswear giant Nike and Swiss watch brand Tag Heuer moved quickly to distance themselves from the five-time Grand Slam winner after she announced the positive test at a news conference in Los Angeles on Monday. TAG Heuer said its deal with Sharapova will not be renewed. The sponsorship expired at
the end of 2015 and extension discussions had been taking place. Sharapova said she failed a doping test at the Australian Open in January for the little-known drug meldonium, which became a banned substance under the World Anti-Doping Agency code this year. The former world No. 1 took full responsibility for her mistake and could face a lengthy ban from the International Tennis Federation, possibly ending her season and preventing her from competing for Russia at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “I know that with this, I face consequences,” Sharapova said. “I don’t want to end my
career this way, and I really hope I will be given another chance to play this game.” The 28-year-old Sharapova said she has been taking meldonium, a blood flow-promoting drug, for 10 years for numerous health issues. Meldonium was banned because it aids oxygen uptake and endurance, and several athletes across international sports have already been caught using it. Sharapova and all players were notified of changes in the WADA banned substances list in December. Sharapova claimed she missed the change, neglecting to click on the link. “I take great responsi-

I let the sport down that I’ve been playing since the age of 4, that I love so deeply.” Sharapova is one of the top female players of her generation, with 35 career singles titles and over $36 million in career earnings. That earning potential is thought to be dwarfed by earnings she generates from her commercial appeal. Sharapova is thought to be the world’s highest-paid female athlete due to endorsement deals and business ventures. Forbes estimated her earnings at $29.5 million for 2015.

Lions star WR Calvin Johnson retires L arry L age Associated Press
DETROIT - Calvin Johnson has retired. The 30-year-old receiver announced his decision Tuesday to walk away from the NFL after nine spectacular seasons with the Detroit Lions. “Let me assure you that this was not an easy or hasty decision,” Johnson said. “As I stated, I, along with those closest to me, have put a lot of time, deliberation and prayer into this decision and I truly am at peace with it.” The 6-foot-5 Johnson
had 88 receptions for 1,214 yards and nine touchdowns last season. He has 731 career receptions for 11,619 yards and 83 TDs. Johnson broke one of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice’s records with 1,964 yards receiving in 2012. Johnson leaves Detroit in a fashion similar to Hall of Famer Barry Sanders, who slipped away shortly before the 1999 season after he had 1,491 yards rushing as a 30-year-old running back the previous year. “Let me begin by
apologizing for making this announcement via a statement and not in person,” Johnson said via release. “While I truly respect the significance of this, those who know me best will understand and not be surprised that I choose not to have a press conference for this announcement. “After much prayer, thought and discussion with loved ones, I have made the difficult decision to retire from the Lions and pro football. I have played my last game of football.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Dear Annie: I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease five years ago during an annual physical at the age of 79. I did not have hypertension, diabetes or a family history of kidney disease -the distinctive risk factors for kidney disease -- although my age should have been a red flag. Looking back on my medical history, it turns out my kidney numbers were abnormal for some time. I was told that the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs may have caused my kidney damage. It was a surprise to me that such a common drug did more harm than good. Since then, I’ve stopped the use of NSAIDs, but I feel many other people might be in the same boat I was in. I hope you can spread the word to help others keep their kidneys healthy. -- Better Now Dear Better: Thank you for the information. NSAIDs (such as aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Celebrex and other commonly used pain relievers) don’t generally pose a problem for most people who use them in small doses on occasion. But there can be side effects, especially if you use the drugs for weeks at a time. They can cause bleeding ulcers, fluid retention, rashes, and kidney and heart problems. If you are taking any anti-inflammatory, over-thecounter drugs, please let your doctor know. Kidney disease often goes undetected, because symptoms may not appear until the kidneys are close to failure. The good news is that early detection and proper treatment can slow the progression of kidney disease. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, a family history of kidney failure or are over the age of 60, you should get your kidneys checked. March is National Kidney Month and March 10 is World Kidney Day. The National Kidney Foundation urges readers to be proactive with their health. To learn more, visit www.kidney.org. Dear Annie: Your response to “Sick of Men Complaining” was right on. She said no matter what meal she prepares for her husband, he always finds something to criticize about it. Aside from pointing out that she seems to have a predilection for picking out men she cannot possibly please, you told her to inform him that he can cook his own meals if hers are not to his liking. If my wife prepared an elegant meal for me and I complained about it like that, you can be sure she would tell me where to go. She also would inform me that from now on, I would be cooking my own food. And she would have followed through on that. Her straightforward confidence makes me appreciate the wonderful wife and mother that she is. -- Pretty Darn Happy in New Mexico Dear New Mexico: We are delighted to hear from someone who appreciates his spouse and the efforts she puts into their meals, and more important, thinks her direct and honest attitude is something to be admired. We trust she returns the same level of respect. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YOUR AD in the TOWNSMAN has staying power. has selling power!
With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes.

TORONTO - Researchers have developed a tool that can predict whether a child or teen with a newly diagnosed concussion is likely to have symptoms that will persist longer than usual, giving them the opportunity to see a specialist sooner. The predictive tool was developed and validated by pediatric specialists across Canada in a study that involved about 3,000 children and adolescents who had suffered a concussion, primarily while playing sports or as the result of a fall or a motor vehicle accident. Principal investigator Dr. Roger Zemek said the first question parents ask when their child or teen is diagnosed with a concussion at a hospital emergency department is: “When is my child going to get better?” “And we did not have the answer to that,” Zemek, an emergency medicine physician at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), said Tuesday from Ottawa. But with the study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, doctors will now be able to give parents an answer, based on a predictive score from a series of questions developed by the researchers. Those who score between nine and 12 on the evaluation -
including whether they have headaches, are bothered by loud noise and have poor balance - are considered to be at high risk for experiencing “persistent post-concussion symptoms,” a condition that in some cases can last several months - or even longer. “It really can remove kids from the things they want, need and love to do,” Zemek said of a concussion. “They can’t perhaps go to the movies with their friends because the loud noises are bothering them. “They can’t go to school and take exams and perhaps even advance to the next grade because they’ve missed so many weeks of class ... They’re not allowed to go back to sports because of the risk of getting another (concussion) until they’re fully recovered.” The study found that although more boys suffer concussions, girls have twice the risk of having persistent post-concussion symptoms, while older children and teens are also more likely to take longer to get better than children under eight. Zemek said there are a number of theories as to why a higher proportion of girls have ongoing symptoms. Girls’ neck muscles are typically less developed than those of boys, which could mean females experience a greater whiplash force during a fall or a sports-re-

lated collision that results in more damage to the brain. The different female and male sex hormones may also play varying roles in helping the brain to heal, and females may be more aware as well as more forthcoming than males about lingering symptoms, he added. Jenna Pietrantonio, 19, who suffered a concussion two years ago after colliding with an opposing player during a competitive hockey game, was among those in the study whose symptoms continued long past the time she would have expected. Headaches, nausea, dizziness, neck pain, and light and noise sensitivity kept her out of school. The Ottawa teen had to avoid any stimuli, the standard initial treatment to help the brain heal. “I had to be in a dark room. I was in my room with no lights, no friends, no family, no electronics, no nothing for about close to two months,” she said. “So being isolated definitely brought on a lot of depression.” Had the predictive tool been available at the time of her concussion, it could have helped her family - “they had to put up with me a lot” - and her doctor by helping figure out what therapies she should have pursued and which ones to avoid. “It could have been extremely helpful,” said Pietrantonio.”
