Kimberley has certainly produced a number of curling teams to be proud of this winter. The latest team off in search of glory is the Ivar Larson team. With third Brian Meyers, Second Neil Larson and Lead Dave White, the team is heading to the 2016 Pacific international Club Championship in Richmond in April. The team won the Zone Inter Club Championship in Kimberley at the end of February. They also won $750. Handing out the prize is Kimberley Curling Club Director Bob McNish.

It’s not Lindsay Park students are sun hunters spring yet School goes for another Green Games win C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Lindsay Park Elementary has a reputation as a ‘green’ school and a history of awards from BC Hydro’s yearly Green Games. This year, the school is going for the Green Games again, and the students have become “Sun Hunters”. Classes have been involved in various solar projects, from sun-inspired art to mapping how much

sun Kimberley gets over the course of 100 days. It was all inspired by Kimberley’s Sun Mine. With BC’s largest solar farm right here in town, it lined up perfectly to learn more about solar energy and even fundraise to purchase a solar panel to power their greenhouse. The students had visits from Mayor Don McCormick and the City’s Director of Economic Development Kevin Wilson, who explained more about the Sun Mine to them. The whole school worked together, completing a variety of projects, to create a submission video for BC Hy-

dro’s Green Games. You can check out the video and vote for Lindsay Park at www. greengames.ca The students have a Go Fund Me campaign at https://www.gofundme.com/bdxjvj6s to raise funds for the solar panel and so far have raised over $700. Lindsay Park hopes to be one of 10 elementary schools in British Columbia to win the contest and receive a $1,000 prize. Online voting continues through the month of March. Please support Lindsay Park School. Go to www. greengames.ca and vote.

A cautionary tale for those who think winter driving is over C AROLYN GR ANT

Cranbrook RCMP issued a warning last Friday morning for those who may be getting a little cavalier about winter driving. Recent warm weather has meant mainly dry roads and safe driving conditions. But it is still winter, and you can still run into poor conditions. Case in point, says Cranbrook RCMP Cst. Katie Forgeron is an incident on Friday where a pickup truck collided with a snowplow.

The accident occurred about seven kilometres down King Street. “The pickup was travelling on snow covered, slushy roads and as he moved over to avoid an oncoming snowplow he began to fishtail into oncoming traffic,” Forgeron said. “The driver of the snowplow attempted to lift the blade of the plow in order to avoid the truck, but was unable to do so.

BOOKNOTES

On board the Enterprise T

MIKE SELBY

he ‘Polar Almanac for 1854’ is one of the most unusual books ever printed. It exists only in five copies. Four of those copies are printed on coloured paper resembling newsprint. The fifth consists of two distinctly different papers — half printed on white paper containing a clear watermark, the other half printed on tissue-like Oriental paper. Each copy of the almanac was hand-stitched, and then bound in thick cardboard which had a sheet of the coloured newsprint glued onto it. Unlike other almanacs of the time, this one contains no zodiac signs, phases of the moon, weather predictions, gardening advice or even humorous trivia. It also lists no holidays or royal birthdays. While its physical and informational makeup make it unique among all other books of its kind (i.e. Old Farmer’s Almanac, Whitaker’s Almanac, and World Almanac), it is also the most northernly printed book of all time, having been printed just kilometres away from the North Pole. This book displays all these characteristics because it was entirely created and printed aboard a ship. The how and why this book came to be begins years earlier, with the disappearance of the Franklin Expedition. Sir John Franklin embarked on his fourth search for the elusive Northwest Passage in 1845, hoping to earn back some personal glory for himself after his humiliating failure as governor of Tasmania. He would command 128 of England’s best sailors, aboard two of the best equipped and most technically advanced ships of

the time (the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror). Both ships vanished without a trace. Even today it remains one of the most baffling and enduring mysteries of all time. Only recently have historical, archaeological, and forensic evidence, combined with the oral history of the Inuit come together to provide a plausible explanation; one which continues to be debated. At the time, all that was known was that both ships failed to return on schedule in 1847. For the next ten years the Royal Navy launched dozens of ships on countless rescue missions. One of the biggest challenges they faced was just how to communicate with two ships lost in the massive and uncharted Arctic waters. Their solution was to install printing presses in each rescue ship. These presses would be vital to the rescue efforts. The first use of each press was to print balloon messages. When land was in sight, a rescue ship would release a red and white hydrogen balloon, each one carrying a thousand messages which were released by an ingenious time delay consisting of a slow burning fuse. Each balloon message was printed on brightly coloured paper or sometimes on silk, so it could be seen against the snow. Printed on each slip was the latitude and longitude of the rescue ship’s location, as well as the locations of provisions being left at various points along the way. None of this information could have been preprinted back in England, and handwritten notes would be notoriously uneven.

The presses were also used to print ‘cairn messages’—longer messages noting ship and provision locations left under cairns (stacked rock piles), left there by small sled dog excursions. Since they needed to be longer, the cairn messages were printed on green or purple cartridge paper, typically used for rifles (green for live rounds, purple for blanks). It was Henry Hester aboard the HMS Enterprise who began to use the press for more than rescue work. Only 22 at the time, Hester spend his downtime toiling away at the press, often frustrated by frozen inks and substandard typefaces. What is more remarkable is that a near mutiny was taking place on the ship. After the ship’s surgeon died from the captain’s willful neglect, most of the crew spent the voyage under arrest for insubordination. Instead of typical Almanac details, Hester filled his book with a narrative of the ship’s four-year search for Franklin. He also lists details about the crew members, such as their birthdays and other significant events he deemed important. Remarkable still is that all five copies of the ‘Polar Almanac for 1854’ have survived into the 21st century. Also surviving is the odd balloon or cairn message which can still be found in the Arctic. Sadly, none of these efforts resulted in the rescue of Franklin. He and his men had died two years before the search even began. Mike Selby is Reference Librarian at the Cranbrook Public Library

What’s Up?

Letters to the Editor

Kootenay Ice & fans

It has been a difficult year for the Kootenay Ice as we experienced the first losing season in 18 years. And yes as sad as it is to say our team’s attendance was down again, but in the rebuild years all teams struggle to draw fans. Also our team was as much up against a weak economy as any other team in this league and I’m sure there were attendance issues throughout the league. Yes it has been a tough year for our team. I attended every game this season and I am very proud to say fans of the Kootenay Ice over looked a team that struggled and proved through their support and in the best tradition of Kootenay Ice hockey that they support our team win or lose. This is why I say with more conviction than ever thank you! for your loyal support and for that you are the best fans in the Western Hockey League! You are truly the best! Attendance was down but I believe we held our own, as fans we proved to ourselves, proved to our team and proved to the league that we want and believe there is a proud place here in Cranbrook for our team to continue as part of the WHL. Better support for the future is critical for the financial viability for our team to stay in Cranbrook. We should all think about our proud hockey heritage as it is truly a great one, considering we are a relatively a small community we can all be proud of the past accomplishments of the Royals, Colts, and of course our Kootenay Ice. As it has been in the past, it is so today, our players and this team needs better and continued strong support, as fans our team needs us and we need our team to stay here as a strong part of our community. We need to continue our passionate committed strong support for our team. We must be patient as this team will be strong and competitive again in the near

future. I believe our team does have a positive future. I salute and thank all the players as they are all fine young men and I am proud of every one of them, they played their hearts out and gave a gallant account of themselves over the whole hockey season. Respectfully; James LeClair Cranbrook

Don’t just talk green and tax us

After listening to our new prime minister on the news over the past couple of months and how he is showcasing Canada to the world as one of the worst offenders of CO2 emissions, I need to make a few points. That is an absolute fallacy. We make up 1.8% of the world emissions of CO2. The US has more CO2 output per capita when they live in a much more moderate climate. China approved four new coal fired power plants every week in 2015 and ranks the highest in the world by far for emissions yet we get the black eye. He is going to bring in a new carbon tax real soon if his actions follow his words. Most people cannot afford any more taxes, especially ones that do nothing for the environment and only pad the government coffers. We have introduced carbon taxes in BC which only go into general revenue and have done nothing to help reduce CO2 emissions. I am 100% in favour of reducing pollution and CO2, but if our government is going to talk about this on a constant basis, let’s see something concrete other than raise the taxes on the public. How about give incentives for people to go green with solar or wind or whatever. There is absolutely no incentive for any such thing in BC. I have geothermal heating in my house and my bill has doubled in

the past four years due to the fact that it runs completely on electricity. BC Hydro brought in a policy where if you use over a certain amount, your rate goes up by 50% on the excess, which is 3/4’s of the bill at that rate. That policy basically killed any more geothermal heating in BC. Our governments talk green all the time yet destroy the most efficient type of heating going with another tax grab. (Ironically called the Residential Conservation rate.) Another point is the fact that Canada imports 43% of our oil from the middle east and pays world prices for it. We have excess oil in western Canada and the oil we do sell to the US is at well below world prices. I have spoken to people who have worked in Africa and the middle east where we get our oil from. Our environmental standards are much much higher than in those areas and yet our oilsands have a huge black eye. Maybe defending this country and it’s industry instead of making us look bad to the world would be my idea of our government’s job. The Energy East pipeline is an absolute no brainer yet the biggest opponent to it is the province that has reaped the most benefit from transfer payments from our dirty oil over the past fifty years. Maybe they should separate. I will be happier than anyone when I see trucks going up the Creston-Salmo with solar panels powering them or the train running though Cranbrook using something other than diesel, but until that time, don’t talk green and just tax us. There is definitely climate change going on, as there has been since the beginning of time. If the government can change the weather to exactly what they want with new taxes, then they are a lot better than I thought they were. Harry Caldwell Kimberley

The Dramatic Life

Who’s killing the actors in the murder-mystery

Mae ve Murtagh

nce again, Parkland Middle School is putting on a theatre production. This spring, we will see a hilarious, off-beat murder mystery with quite a twist. “The Murder Mystery at the Murder Mystery," written by Brian D. Taylor, is a play within a play with quite a few surprises for the audience and may give the cast some fun new challenges. Co-directed by Rick Bendkowski and Nadine Rake, the rehearsals are looking great and are a blast. So, what is this play all about? The actors at the Murder Mystery Playhouse are rehearsing a new show: “Putting a Little English On It.” It is a not-so-good attempt at a British murder mystery, complete with cheesy dramatic music and British accents. As expected at the final dress rehearsal, the lights go out and a character dies onstage — only this murder was not in the script! The authorities are quickly called, and soon the performers find themselves replaying the

Monday, march 14, 2016 Page 5

death scene. The actors are left scratching their heads at the strange circumstances. It all culminates in a wild surprise ending. In this play there are a number of roles, from diva actresses to police officers. The students participating in this production are brushing up on their British accents. It is clear that the relationships between the cast members are getting stronger with each rehearsal and the roles are well matched with the personalities of the actors. “I am glad I joined the play because I enjoy a good challenge of using a British accent” says Isabella Fiorentino. On a personal note, over the past two years, I have been part of PMS’s theatre productions both onstage and behind the scenes. I have learned a lot about putting on a play, and know that it takes a lot of commitment. I really enjoy working with Mr. Ben and Mrs. Rake. They are very understanding and nice teachers to be around, and they make the drama room a welcoming environment. In this play, I get to manage the sounds, which

Letters to the Editor

involves playing the cheesy and dramatic music when called for. Being behind the scenes is just as much fun as being in the play itself. My favourite part about it all is seeing how far we have all come since the casting. Many of the students in the play this year were in last year’s production. To this day, I still hear jokes or lines from the play last year. The only thing I am not excited about is the very last show. It is sad knowing that this amazing experience will come to an end. If you want to enjoy a good, old fashioned murder mystery, then come out and support this amazing crew. Parkland Middle School’s performance of The Murder Mystery at the Murder Mystery will be on April 20th and 21st at 7 p.m. at Key City theatre. Tickets are $15 available at Key City Theatre, http://www. keycitytheatre.com/ or 250-426-7006. Maeve Murtagh is a student at Parkland Middle School

One name — Wyatt Hoflin — and one number — 56 — is really all you need to know. The 21-year-old veteran goaltender made a whopping 56 saves, establishing a new career high, as he backstopped the Kootenay Ice to a 4-3 victory over the visiting Medicine Hat Tigers Saturday night at Western Financial Place. “You’re almost speechless, the numbers say it all,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, following Saturday’s win. “Maybe our guys are trying to help him stretch out his saves record, I’m not sure. But he was outstanding and not just with his saves. He played the puck really well again tonight, as he always does. He was jumping on some loose pucks

that other guys couldn’t find and poking them away from trouble. “He was extremely sharp and I’m happy for him that we found a way to finish it off.” Hoflin established a new all-time franchise record for saves earlier this season, surpassing Natan Lieuwen and his 4,188 stops. With the number still rising, Hoflin has made 4,384 stops over his four-year WHL career. On top of stretching his all-time record Saturday night, Hoflin faced 59 shots for the second the time this season. Back on Dec. 2, the 6-foot-1, 182-pound puckstopper turned aside 55 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Kelowna Rockets. “I’m tired, I’m kind of ready to go to bed,” Hoflin said with a smile Saturday night after collecting his eighth victory of the season. “I was just trying to take some deep breaths and slow my heart rate down. It was pumping pretty quick for most of the game.” “It’s good, [the wins] have been few and far between this season and there’s games where I play better than today and the pucks find a way in the net. It was good they were hitting me today.” The overage goaltender has seen an outstanding amount of rubber in his final two seasons of major junior

hockey. During the 2014-15 campaign, Hoflin established a new franchise record for saves in a season as he steered away 1,837 pucks across 67 appearances. So far in 2015-16, he’s made 1,627 saves in 51 appearances. “He’s unbelievable, man,” said Ice forward River Beattie. “That guy will work hard. He knows when to battle and he makes the right reads. He gives it all, day in and day out.” While he faced more rubber overall last season, Hoflin has been called upon to make a significantly higher number of saves on a nightly basis in 2015-16. To date, Hoflin has kicked out an average of 31.9 saves per game, besting his average of 27.4 saves per night from last season, in what was a record-setting year for the veteran. Hoflin made saves of both mass quantity and mass quality Saturday night. While the Tigers did their best to shoot from everywhere, there was no shortage of grade ‘A’ scoring opportunities for the overage goaltender to fight off. After falling behind in the first period, the Tigers sent 44 shots in on net over the final 40 minutes of play.

Sports Dynamiters & Nitehawks set Hoflin shines once again conference final schedule Continued from page 6

Taylor Rocca Photo

Goaltender Tyson Brouwer (#1) gets airbourne, ever so slightly, as he reaches high to grab a shot during Wednesday’s Game 4 victory in Creston. Brouwer and the Dynamiters open the 2016 KIJHL Kootenay Conference final Tuesday at the Kimberley Civic Centre. Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

For the second consecutive year, the Kimberley Dynamiters and Beaver Valley Nitehawks will meet in the KIJHL’s Kootenay Conference final. That fate was determined Friday night as the Nitehawks disposed of the Grand Forks Border Bruins in Game 5 of the Neil Murdoch Division final to advance to the conference championship. The series opens with Game 1 Tuesday evening and Game 2 on Wednesday at the Kimberley Civic Centre. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. both nights. After sweeping the

Creston Valley Thunder Cats in four games, albeit four tightly-contested games that saw three go to overtime, the Dynamiters will have enjoyed five full days off before getting to it Tuesday night. “It’s going to be a lengthy playoff run I’m imagining,” said Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer, after backstopping his team to a Game 4 victory in the Eddie Mountain Division final Wednesday night at the Johnny Bucyk Arena in Creston. “We need all the rest we can get. “It was our drive and will to win [that set us apart]. Coming into playoffs, I had fond memories of last year

and I want to make new memories with this group. All the guys that were with us last year have the same mentality.” The best-of-seven conference championship shifts to Fruitvale for Games 3 and 4, scheduled for Friday and Saturday (8:30 p.m. Mountain). After finishing the regular season atop the Neil Murdoch Division with a record of 34-11-43, the Nitehawks trounced the Nelson Leafs in a four-game Neil Murdoch Division semifinal, before sending the Border Bruins into offseason hibernation Friday night. The Dynamiters

claimed the KIJHL’s regular season crown with a league-best record of 41-7-0-4 before saddling the Fernie Ghostriders in a five-game Eddie Mountain Division semifinal. The Nitros then grounded the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in a tightly-contested four-game sweep for the Eddie Mountain Division banner. “We can’t be too high on this win,” said Dynamiters alternate captain Jared Marchi following his team’s Game 4 win over the Thunder Cats. “We’ve got a big series coming here. We have to be mentally focused on that and preparing, get all the rest and as healed up as we can.”

Oregon Ducks get surprising No. 1 on Selection Sunday of NCAA Basketball’s March Madness Eddie Pells Associated Press

Oregon received a surprising No. 1 seed for the NCAA Basketball Tournament, joining Kansas, North Carolina and Virginia with top billing. The Ducks (28-6)

beat out Michigan State for a spot on the top line. The Spartans were widely viewed as a top seed, and their win over Purdue in the Big Ten tournament final did nothing to hurt their resume. The Jayhawks (30-4)

are the overall No. 1. They won both the regular-season and conference titles in the nation’s toughest league, the Big 12. Oregon’s surprise was in keeping with one of the most unpredict-

able seasons ever. The top spot in The Associated Press poll changed hands six times - one short of the record. Meanwhile, 20 top seeds in conference tournaments failed to win the trophy.

In the first period, Hoflin stoned Mason Shaw on a backdoor power-play effort, sprawling post-to-post to leave the Tigers forward shaking his head. In the second period, he robbed Shaw in tight once again before kicking out the left pad for an eye-popping save on Chad Butcher off an odd-man rush. As easy as it is to focus on Hoflin’s efforts keeping pucks out, it would be remiss not to mention his eye for kick-starting the offense. During the third period, the ever-confident puck-handler sent a home-run stretch pass from his own goal all the way to Jesse Zaharichuk at the opposing blueline, leading to a quality scoring chance for the home team. To top it off, Hoflin was the backbone during the final 1:22 of regulation as the Tigers skated 6-on-4 with Zak Zborosky serving a high-sticking penalty and goaltender Nick Schneider at the bench for the extra attacker. “I was just trying to find pucks,” Hoflin said. “Being down a man is tough, but at the same time, they’re trying to get that play and ultimately it kills some time off the clock. It makes it a little easier that way. But I was just trying to find pucks and for the most part, they were either just floating through or hitting the guy. I just had to get behind for the save.” Outside of the miraculous performance from Hoflin, the Ice received scoring from Beattie, Cale Fleury, Zborosky and Max Patterson, while the Tigers responded with efforts from Shaw, Max Gerlach and Clayton Kirichenko. At the other end of the rink, Schneider made 20 saves in a losing effort for Medicine Hat. Beattie opened the scoring for the Ice with a great net drive that started from deep in Medicine Hat territory. The second-year forward held off a Tigers defender before slipping a shot through the arm of Schneider, giving the Ice a 1-0 lead only 1:03 into the first period. Fleury doubled the

advantage midway through the period, sending a power-play point shot to the back of the net with Tigers defenceman David Quenneville serving a high-sticking minor. If two goals in the first period wasn’t good enough, Zborosky took the matter into his own hands with less than five minutes remaining in the period. The Regina native burst across the Tigers blueline, having his feet taken out and drawing a delayed penalty in the process. The speedy winger stuck with the play, retrieving the loose puck before driving the net and out-waiting Schneider before easily sliding home is 28th goal of the campaign. Before the opening 20 minutes of play expired, the Tigers managed to find a way to the scoresheet. As Ice defenceman Troy Murray emerged at the conclusion of a holding penalty, Tigers forward Gerlach hit Shaw at the back door for an even-strength goal to make it 3-1. Tigers defenceman Ty Stanton thought he had found the back of the net to make it 3-2 as the buzzer sounded to end the opening period, but the goal was emphatically washed away by on-ice officials. After Hoflin robbed Chad Butcher on a 2-on-1 opportunity in tight, the Ice turned the play the other direction and Patterson capitalized to make the most of the swing, restoring a three-goal advantage for the home team. All it took was 2:25 for the Tigers to close the gap once again. Gerlach found easy ice, skating practically untouched through the neutral zone before crossing the Kootenay blueline and sending a shot towards Hoflin from the top of the circle. The puck eluded the 21-year-old veteran and trickled in short side to make it 4-2 after 40 minutes of play. The Tigers came out firing in the third period, sending 23 shots at Hoflin. Kirichenko was the lone visitors to beat the Ice goaltender with a long point shot that appeared to change di-

rection on its way in. The win boosts the Kootenay Ice to 11-52-60 with three games remaining. Despite the victory, with the shot count approaching 60, not everything was sunshine and rainbows as far as coach Pierce was concerned. “I wasn’t happy with how we didn’t control the play [after going up 3-0],” Pierce said. “We tried to keep doing the same things and they’re going to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you. We know what this game means to [the Tigers]. “For guys that still want to learn and pay attention, there are some things in our ‘D’ zone [to work on]. Any time we were physical, we got out of our zone. Tanner Lishchynsky and some of our other ‘D’ did a really good job of that, but our other guys just want to chase people around and try to outsmart them, steal pucks and make the game easy. You’ve got to play the right way.” With the loss, the Tigers (28-36-3-2, 61 points) missed on an opportunity to catch the Edmonton Oil Kings (2833-6-1, 63 points). Medicine Hat has three games remaining on its regular season schedule, while Edmonton has four, including a Tuesday date in Cranbrook. The Tigers doubled the Ice 6-3 in the front end of a weekend homeand-home Friday night at the Canalta Centre in Medicine Hat. Medicine Hat got goals from Butcher, Ty Schultz, Zach Fischer, Mark Rassell, Shaw and Ty Stanton, while Schneider made 24 saves for the win. The Ice responded with a pair of goals from Beattie and a single from Patterson. Declan Hobbs made 27 saves in the loss. Notes: The Ice went without RW Roman Dymacek (lower body), RW Jaedon Descheneau (shoulder) and C Matt Alfaro (upper body) Saturday night… The Tigers were without D Dylan MacPherson, F Tyler Preziuso, F Caleb Fantillo and F Ryan Chyzowski… Announced attendance in Cranbrook was 1,965…

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will encounter your share of controversy early in the day. You might feel as if you are misunderstood and overly tired. Keep trying to keep the peace rather than have a disagreement emerge. Later in the day, you still won’t be able to clear the air. Tonight: Let it go. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be more aware of the repercussions of heading in a certain direction. If there is a risk involved, you would be well-advised to back off. It probably won’t work out as you would like it to. Tonight: Saying “no” to others right now is akin to saying “yes” to more freedom. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Beam in more of what you want. You could be in the middle of controversy and be able to seize the moment. You’ll hit a home run while everyone else is creating uproar. No one will be upset by your unexpected success. Time will be on your side. Tonight: You call the shots.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might sense a lot of activity going on around you, though your imagination could be attaching the wrong meaning to what is happening. Let go, and try not to be so concerned. Listen carefully in conversations, and note what isn’t being said. Tonight: Vanish while you can. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will land where you want to, but you’ll have to jump through several hoops to get there. Your ideas could fall flat at first. Confusion surrounds communication as well. Once you understand what is happening, you should be able to clear the air. Tonight: All smiles. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are optimistic when no one else is. Others seem to be dealing with other matters instead of coming up with a solid response to a situation. A personal matter could cause you some dismay. You’ll have a better way to handle a problem. Tonight: In the limelight. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You will be much happier if

Tundra

250-919-6530

you take an overview or quickly adopt a philosophical point of view. Otherwise, you might be upset by what happens. An effort to communicate might be thwarted. Let go, and allow others to come to you. Tonight: Make an important call. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) One-on-one relating usually solves most of your hassles. Unfortunately, a friend can’t seem to hear what you’re trying to say. Confusion surrounds you even more than you realize. Do not get discouraged; there will be an amenable solution soon enough. Tonight: Make nice. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel that someone is making uncomfortable assumptions. Understand that a solution is right around the corner. What is going on with this person is simply representative of a changing mood. Avoid becoming unusually stern. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Focus on one task at a time, and you will be less likely to encounter a problem. Even if you do, try

not to take it personally. It probably has much more to do with the moment and with others’ moods than with you. Detach, and you will feel a lot better. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your playfulness easily could be taken as something else. Maintain a sense of humor, and know that misunderstandings are the likely source of irritation. You might be experiencing a tense moment, as others seem to be doing what they shouldn’t be. Tonight: Playful, aren’t we? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might have the best intentions to let go of a problem, yet you can’t. A personal matter could be a source of tension. Lighten up and understand that this, too, will pass. You also might need to walk on eggshells around a boss. Tonight: Be happy that the day has ended.

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married for 25 years to “Betty,” a beautiful, intelligent, caring woman from Greece. Our marriage has been good. We are financially solid, and we share values and interests. I am 63 and retired. Betty still works, and she makes a good salary. I’m in reasonably good health, although the doctors say I have to watch my heart. I don’t have the same energy I once did, and spending quiet time in my house has become important to me. I enjoy being able to focus my energies doing things on the weekends with Betty. Here’s the problem: Betty’s parents still live in Greece and they are having financial difficulties. A couple of weeks ago, Betty informed me that her parents may have to come live with us. Annie, I enjoy having her parents visit, but it is difficult for me to host others for an extended period of time. Our house is not that big and we’d be on top of one another. We also live in a small town where there isn’t much to do. I’d be with them in the house all day while Betty is at her office. When I told Betty that I don’t want her parents living here, she became terribly hurt and said she’d divorce me if it came to that. Am I wrong to want to spend my retirement years with my wife rather than care for her parents? -- Stuck in Upstate NY Dear Stuck: Betty should not put her parents before you, but let’s face it, she is attached to them and probably feels guilty for having moved away in the first place. You say you are financially comfortable. Can you and Betty help her parents afford an apartment or condo in a senior complex that is close to your home but allows all of you to remain independent? Her parents may prefer to be where they have space of their own, with activities that keep them busy and engaged. Try to get Betty to see this in a more positive light -- doing what’s best for her parents while keeping her marriage intact. Dear Annie: I am responding to the answer you gave to “Going Mad in Canada,” who has been married for 30 years to a wife who stays home, doesn’t clean and doesn’t cook. You said she isn’t likely to change after 30 years, and that he should find ways to cope, maybe hiring help, and cooking and cleaning only for himself, letting her do the same. Are you out of your minds? He’s supposed to go to work all day, come home to a lazy spouse, cook his own meals, wash his own clothes and clean the house? I had been living with this for 25 years, but I found the answer. I put a code on my TV, so it wouldn’t turn on until I get home. Next, I canceled our Internet service. I began eating by myself at restaurants, so I’d get a decent cooked meal. After about a month, she started cleaning and cooking. Why should one spouse take all of the responsibility of bringing home the money, cleaning, cooking and washing clothes while the other spouse does nothing? -- Clean House in Pennsylvania Dear Penn: Your marriage sounds like an unpleasant mismatch. But we can’t argue with success, and this obviously was your way to “cope.” Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries Cameron Ratcliffe “Cam” On March 9, 2016 the world lost an amazing soul. We all lost an amazing man.

Cam Ratcliffe was a man who loved simple things. He walked his dogs and loved to read books. All through his life he was an athlete, a redneck philosopher, an outdoorsman, an artist and a dreamer. Above all else he was gracious, loving and had a sense of humour like no other. If you are one of the fortunate ones he called his friend, you are blessed and have felt the power of his gentle touch. As demonstrated in Cam’s own words no other has accepted his destiny with such grace and integrity. “It is coming up on seven years that I have been living with my cancer now. I’m thankful to be alive. I am thankful to have learned to live more bravely. I look forward to whatever time I have left, and believe each day will be more fulfilling than the last if I continue to learn, be accepting, and try my best. Enjoy this little insight into the things that excite me and touch me in all the ways that life can.” One of Cam’s goals for those left behind was not to feel the sadness of his death, but rather to remember the lessons that he leaves behind, to be accepting, loving and to show kindness always. In his passing at the age of fifty, Cam came to completely accept his cancer diagnosis - he left this world with great peace and utter joy in his heart. His last hours were spent laughing, reminiscing, joyously crying and sharing this with those he loved most. Cam will be remembered by the loving members of his family: Bonnie (wife); Cody, David and Lynden (sons); Bernie (dear friend); Heather (mother); Kelly, Marnie [Clifford](sisters); Spencer (nephew); Delainey (niece); Mae (grandmother); aunts, uncles and cousins. Cam was predeceased by Robert Wayne Ratcliffe (father) and Gordon Rice (step-father).

For the Townsman

TD Bank generously provided $5000 to support the ongoing needs of the diagnostic imaging program at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. Cassandra Schwarz (ED) and Theresa Larson (Vice-Chair, Board of Directors) had the opportunity to meet with Doug Frioult (TD Branch Manager) to accept the generous donation. “We are proud to continue to support all of the fundraising efforts of EKFH in advancing healthcare in our community. What an amazing way for TD to welcome Cassandra to the East Kootenay Region, a community of outstanding philanthropic giving.” said Doug Frioult. For more information about EKFH visit us on Facebook or on the web at www.ekfh.ca.

East Vancouver’s John Michael Lind whirls his personal brand of folk-rock, alternative-country, and downright rootsy lyrical honesty into Pete Durning’s legendary Byng Roadhouse in Downtown Cranbrook this coming Tuesday March 15th (showtime 9 pm) as part of his comprehensive Western Canadian tour. The son of a Sudbury hard rock miner, Lind cut his musical teeth in the arts-vibrant environs of Roberts Creek BC before settling into the still-beating heart of No Fun City’s acoustic-folk intelligentsia, where the seminal influences of Stephen Fearing, Valdy, Don McLean, and Doc Watson all combined to create his own sound. Lind’s debut recording “Out on the Land” is a strong 6-song EP which the Georgia Straight calls “...Lind’s ticket to the next level of fame.” And given Lind’s sincere friendliness, earnest honesty, and compelling songwriting, fame indeed awaits. So why not see for yourselves?
