C arolyn Gr antA fire broke out in the

Platzl on Friday eve-ning, December 28, 2012, totally destroying the Kootenay Cycle Works building. Howev-er, firefighters were able to contain the fire to the one building, although the neighbouring Gild-ed Goat building was reported to have smoke and water damage.

The fire started at 5:47 p.m. and was be-lieved to have begun in the basement. The owner of the business was in the building at the time, according to the RCMP.

Eighteen firefighters were on the scene and nearby businesses and restaurants were evacu-ated. There were no in-juries reported, though an ambulance remained on standby. RCMP were also on the scene to as-sist in crowd control.

The building, which was brick with wood in-terior, was completely gutted and only the back end was standing the next day.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

A pile of rubble is all that’s left of Kootenay Cycle Works, after a fire tore through the building in Kimberley’s Platzl on Friday, Dec. 28. Firefighters were able to save the Guilded Goat next door, however it sustained water and smoke damage and was coated with a thick layer of ice the next morning.

It was a busy year for the newsroom at the Cranbrook Daily Towns-man, and one the team will not soon forget. Here is a recap of some of the area’s biggest stories in 2012 from September through December.

AnnAlee Gr Ant• A survey revealed in

August that the popular Cranbrook Farmer’s Market has injected $1 million into the local economy. The local market earned itself the nickname of Million Dollar Market after the survey was released.

• The Cranbrook Le-gion made national headlines after its news-letter was found to con-tain a joke that offended readers. The newsletter, printed in August, con-tained a joke about two men shooting “Indians.” The joke was later re-moved, although the letter was re-distributed with a note from its edi-tor. The complainant, secretary of the Ladies Auxiliary Shirley Green, wrote a letter to Legion president Edith LeClair. St. Mary’s Band Chief Cheryl Casimer was upset that the joke was published, and she too complained to the Le-gion president, saying it was disrespectful to Ab-original veterans.

• Cranbrook wel-comed the legendary Bob Dylan in August for a performance that will go down in Cranbrook history as one of its big-gest. Tickets sold out in just hours when they went on sale, with fans lining up at the RecPlex overnight.

• Mainroad East Koo-tenay staff were locked out of their jobs on Au-gust 19. The workers took to the picket lines at their head office in

Cranbrook to protest the lockout.

• The St. Mary’s Band had a big day in August, when they gathered to open the new Aqamnik Education Centre. The new school closed the door on the band’s small, out-of-date por-table buildings that had been used to house stu-dents. The band cele-brated with dancing, a feast, speeches, all under a bright blue sky.

• Kootenay residents began to be showered with Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals in Au-gust. Recipients includ-ed former members of city council, exceptional community volunteers and longtime engineers, among others.

• Integra Air pulled its fleet from Cranbrook in August, but promised it would be back after restructuring. The air-line cited declining oc-cupancy as their reason, but said they would re-turn with bigger aircraft and the ability to offer competitive pricing and more frequent flights.

• A young boy was left in critical condition after a sandbank he was playing in collapsed at Lake Koocanusa on September 1. The 11-year-old boy was playing with his brother at the time, who was able to get help. The boy later recovered.

• MLA for Kootenay East Bill Bennett was shuffled back into cabi-net in September. He assumed the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development after a cabinet shuffle on September 5.

• The RCMP discov-ered 25 gas contracts in the area had been forged by a company contracted by Active En-ergy. Two suspects were

identified, and the 25 contracts were con-firmed to have forged signatures signing them up for gas service.

• A Clear View, the campaign that set a goal to raise $1 million in two years for a new stereo-tactic mammography machine, completed their campaign in just 11 months. The cam-paign, launched in Oc-tober, 2011, officially finished in mid-Sep-tember the Townsman reported on September 12 – 13 months ahead of schedule. Donna Grainger, executive di-rector of the East Koote-nay Foundation for health, was ecstatic, say-ing there were so many donors, and funds kept coming in.

• The Flathead be-came the next area in Southeast B.C. to be protected in September. A group of politicians, Ktunaxa Nation mem-bers and funding orga-nizations gathered at the St. Eugene Mission Resort on September 13 to celebrate, before tak-ing a helicopter trip to see the area that would now be safe from min-ing.

• The College of the Rockies announced it was losing a leader, after CEO and President Dr. Nick Rubidge an-nounced his retirement on September 16. He will remain until the end of the 2012/13 school year as the college looks for a person to fill the vacancy.

• The NDP chose Norma Blissett as their candidate for the Koote-nay East riding in the upcoming provincial election on September 22. Blissett was chosen over former mayor of Fernie, Randal Macnair.

• Dr. Jane Goodall

kicked off the month of October with a whirl-wind visit to Cranbrook. The world-renowned doctor made several presentations in the area and left an impres-sion on the community that won’t soon be for-gotten.

• A police-involved shooting rocked a quiet Cranbrook neighbour-hood on October 2 after a suspect attempted to

flee police after a car-jacking. Nicholas Bull-ock and an unnamed youth were charged in the incident. Bullock re-mains in custody while the female youth is in the custody of her moth-er in Port Coquitlam. The Independent Inves-tigations Office contin-ue to investigate the file, as is customary when a death or serious injury occurs involving an

RCMP officer.• A mother was tragi-

cally killed in Canal Flats when a rock flung off of a semitruck and smashed through her car windshield. The woman, who was in the passenger seat was killed instantly while her husband and child were unharmed.

• A coroner’s inquest into the in-custody death of Collan Kohalyk

was held in October and the jury returned with two recommendations. They suggested that any clothing that is removed while in custody should be taken from the cell, and that any blood or urine samples taken from patients admitted for an unnatural death or injury should be re-tained and frozen.

• The embattled cari-bou were back in the news again, the Towns-man reported on Octo-ber 16. Only four were left out of the 19 that were transplanted back in March.

• A local group quali-fied for the World’s Toughest Mudder com-petition after they fin-ished in the top at gruel-ling endurance race in San Francisco. After proving they were in-deed tough enough, Mike Honeyman, Joe Detta, Matt Johnson and Miles Chisholm headed to New Jersey for the next instalment, finishing third in a field of 25.

• The city of Cran-brook banded together with other regional mu-nicipalities to ask for a bigger piece of the tax pie, the Townsman re-ported on October 26. Kootenay politicians met in October to dis-cuss the funding mu-nicipalities receive from tax dollars. That money generally goes to infra-structure.

• On October 25, the community finally got a glimpse into Ktunaxa Kinbasket Treaty nego-tiations that are ongo-ing between the prov-ince, federal govern-ment and Ktunaxa Na-tion. While no maps were released, they

were shown at the pub-lic meeting. A total of 33,458 hectares of land are in the offering for the Ktunaxa Nation. Ne-gotiations continue and at this time there are no firm details on the lands to be included in the treaty.

• Another fire tore through the former Tembec planer mill, re-ducing one of the build-ings on the property to rubble. No one was in-jured, and the cause of the fire was later deter-mined to be not suspi-cious.

• The St. Mary’s Band elected Jim Whitehead as their new chief, tak-ing over from Cheryl Casimer with a margin of just one vote in Octo-ber.

• The Townsman re-ported on November 13 that accidental drug overdoses in southeast B.C. have become alarmingly high. People are dying from acciden-tal prescription opioid overdoses at the same rate they are dying in drunk driving acci-dents. The discovery was made by Interior Health after they part-nered with the B.C. Cor-oner’s Service for a study.

• Cranbrook lost a legend when ManWom-an passed away on No-vember 13 at age 74. A celebration of life was heavily attended by many who paid their re-spects to the artist and spiritual visionary.

• An Amber Alert was issued on Novem-ber 15 for three-year-old Alvin Barnett. The boy was taken from Sparwood and was later located safe in Mon-tana. His father, Robert Barnett was charged and the case is currently in the Cranbrook Law Courts.

• The Jumbo Glacier

Resort was granted mountain resort munic-ipality status on No-vember 20. The area will become a munici-pality on February 19, 2013 after the signing of a Letters Patent by the province. Greg Deck was appointed the new mayor, along with Nancy Hugunin and Steve Ostrander as council. In response, the Ktunaxa Nation planned a rally and the introduction of their ju-dicial review.

• The Townsman re-ported November 21 that the City of Cran-brook would need $107 million to solve its infra-structure woes. Jamie Hodge, director of engi-neering for the city, pre-sented to council the near unreachable tally during its council meet-ing on November 21.

• A couple of sea-soned hikers survived a vicious grizzly bear at-tack in Kimberley, the Townsman reported on November 27. The pair survived the attack but were air lifted to Cal-gary’s Foothills Hospi-tal. There was initially debate about whether it was a grizzly or black bear, but conservation officers at the scene de-termined it was in fact a grizzly bear sow and cubs that had been feeding on a deer kill when they were startled by the hikers.

• The Ktunaxa Nation gathered to protest the Jumbo Glacier Resort on November 30. Between 400 and 500 people from all walks of life pa-raded down the streets of Cranbrook from the Ktunaxa Nation head-quarters to Rotary Park, where speeches were given and songs were performed. At the same time in Vancouver, Ktu-naxa Nation chair Kath-ryn Teneese presented the application for judi-cial review.

• A group of six Cran-brook teachers who claim they were poi-soned by mercury were vindicated in early De-cember when they were granted a new Worker’s Compensation Appeal Tribunal hearing. School District 5 an-nounced December 27 that they would not ap-peal the ruling because it concerned the WCAT board rather than the school board.

• The largest crowd in recent memory at-tended the public sign bylaw meeting on De-

cember 5 to hear about the proposed bylaw changes. Frustrations were high as business owners expressed their concern with the bylaw. The city set a deadline of December 31 for feedback, but later ex-tended it to February. The Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce responded by forming an ad hoc committee to collect feedback and pour over the bylaw. They will present to council in the new year.

• The Regional Dis-

trict of East Kootenay voted on December 7 to purchase carbon off-sets, although some di-rectors expressed their displeasure at the idea. The funds would go to the Nature Conservan-cy of Canada’s Dark-woods Project. The City of Kimberley followed that decision up a week later by voting against purchasing the offsets, instead putting the money in a fund to be used for a local project later on.

• Jason Wheeldon was named the citizen

of the year, taking over from Chris Ayling. The new top citizen was named at the Cran-brook and District Chamber of Com-merce’s meeting on December 12. He will be feted in the new year at the Chamber’s January 16 luncheon.

• Kelowna General Hospital completed its first ever open heart surgery in early De-cember, opening the door for many East Kootenay patients the Townsman reported on December 17.

Looking back on the year in local newsContinued from page 1

Note: To the lady I was talking to at the grocery store recently: You wanted to know if I would be doing readings during the Christmas season this year be-cause you have some relatives from out of town that wish to come to see us for a reading. I told you I didn’t know but would get in touch with you because I was still having medical troubles with Jazar (my little boy dog). I lost your phone number so I am writing this note to tell you that all is well and I will be working during the Christmas Season (except for Christmas Day). So give me a call and I will do some readings for your family.

Dear Wendy:I have one more year of

schooling to complete to get my degree. Money of course is an issue to pay for tuition fees and lodgings. I was wondering if I will get a good summer job in 2013? If I do happen to obtain a good job for the summer in 2013 do you know where it will be? I also have a mom who is not doing well physically this year. Do you see her health improving anytime soon?

Willing and Able

Dear Willing and Able:Yes, I see you getting a good

paying summer job in the year 2013. It will have something to do with your career plans but I don’t know what that means. As for where you will be working I asked my guides and he said very clearly; “It will be to the east and not over 200 kilometres of where she is living at this time. However, there is another sum-mer job opportunity which you may consider looking at to the north of where you are living now and the travelling time is

much less.”Your mom will start to im-

prove in mid April of 2013, but we do not see her fully recovered and active again until late Sep-tember of 2013. We also feel that she needs to talk to someone about her emotional issues with the man she is currently living with. He seems to be quite a controlling fellow and this does not help her emotionally or physically at this time. I think you know what I am talking about.

Wendy

Dear Wendy:A few yeas ago I came to you

for a reading and most of what you said came to be true. I left my hometown and a good job for another man. You said it wouldn’t work out and not to do it and you were correct. I have been talking to my husband and he says he loves me and wants me to come back to him and it doesn’t matter that I had an af-fair. I went down to visit him for a week and I just don’t feel that I love him enough to want to go back into my marriage. Part of me wants to go back to him be-cause of our two teenage chil-dren and the other part of me wants to start and build a new life for myself. Can you ask your guides if I am being selfish the way I am thinking? My husband is a good, kind man and I think I am being a fool for not wanting to go back to him.

Feeling Confused and Selfish

Dear Feeling Confused and Selfish:

We don’t think that you are a selfish person at all just a little confused as you well know. If the feelings are not there for your husband then they are just not there. Why cheat him out of seeking a woman who will one day love him and give him what he needs emotionally. Why cheat yourself from finding a nice man you can genuinely fall in love with. If you think about it for a moment if you really loved your husband you would not have cheated on him in the first place. We think you fell out of love for him a long time before the children were born. I don’t think this makes you a bad or good person. I think it makes you a normal person who was afraid to make the proper moves when you were married to your husband. This means you should have left him when you realized you fell out of love with him and not use another man as an excuse to leave your hus-band.

I don’t feel the children should be involved as to wheth-er you want to stay with your husband. Are you using them as an excuse so you don’t have to make the decision? This means are you saying I need to go back or I should go back to my hus-band because of the children. You need to make adult deci-sions for yourself and stop blam-ing other people for what you want to do or need to do to make yourself happy. This is your learning lesson. We cannot tell you whether you should go back to your husband or not that is your decision. However, stop using others and blaming others for what you really want to do.

BARRY COULTER

The 2012 just passed has been a fraught year, charged with happenings. If you’ve been reading our year in re-

view features in the Bulletin and Towns-man, you can see there have been few dull moments.

It’s possible that a year filled with news both good and bad always mirrors our per-sonal and interior lives. If we’re all feeling topsy turvy, no wonder the world around us, at home and abroad, seems filled with upheaval.

In any case, so long, 2012. I would hope 2013 will be a peace and love year, but somehow I think it will be cut from the same cloth as its predecessor.

But enough of that talk. If 2013 is going to be throwing the same stuff at us as 2012, then it won’t be all bad. For me, the year just passing has been a year full of great music, one of the best in a long time.

The breadth and depth of musical tal-ent in the Cranbrook and Kimberley area never ceases to amaze me. What seems to be perennially lacking are the venues for these musicians to express themselves properly in front of audiences. But we manage to make do as best we can. For example, there have been some stellar eve-nings at the Homegrown and Locals cof-feehouses this year, with newcomers and familiar faces giving remarkable and var-ied performances.

Perhaps the new year will bring about another renaissance like the advent of the Kootenay Association of Musical Perform-ers (KAMP) of a couple of years ago (maybe I should put my money where my mouth is and get involved in helping organize. What? Me put my money where my mouth is? What?).

2012 brought us some great musical events that must be noted. In March, the Nelson-produced opera Khaos, a retelling

of the Persephone myth, was premiered in Nelson and Cranbrook, with the accompa-niment by the Symphony of the Kootenays. Live opera in Cranbrook — yes, please!

The Symphony of the Kootenays itself came close to the brink of dissolution, but brave citizens stepped forward to help save this unique local institution. The Symphony is taking a year off, but will be back in late 2013 with a new, interesting direction. Jeff Faraghar will be taking over as music director — get your season tick-ets now.

April was busy. Country Music sensa-tion Johnny Reid packed them in at the Rec Plex, and two other Canadian acts of great talent (whose acclaim should be way greater than it is) played smaller venues — Cara Luft at St. Eugene Mission and Blackie and the Rodeo Kings (Colin Lin-den, Stephen Fearing and Tom Wilson) played the Key City Theatre.

The legendary Steve Earle graced us with his presence at the Key City Theatre at the end of May. Bob Dylan’s appearance at the Rec Plex in August was certainly histor-ic (as far as we’re concerned anyway).

His concert also started a bit of trend for lining up all night outside the box office for tickets, which is a fine and healthy thing to do.

Sloan, one of Canada’s greatest alterna-tive rock bands, hit the stage of the KCT in September, and old friend Michelle Wright followed in October, on a tour celebrating her induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

The Key City Theatre also hosted Alison Brown, a virtuoso, jazz-inflected banjo player and her quartet, and the very next night “Hip Hop” violinist Lindsey Stirling instilled the musical fire in hundreds of kids and adults. I bet the interest in playing the violin skyrocketed in Cranbrook. And here’s a shout-out to another unique local

institution, the Cranbrook Violin Club, started by Kim Lutz. In a decade’s time, Cranbrook is going to be renowned as a hotbed of violin players, mark my words.

Speaking of shout-outs, I would feel re-miss if I didn’t mention my friends in the West Kootenay, particularly the Royal Hotel in Nelson, which has been converted to superb live music venue. I saw two fan-tastic performances there this year, David Lindley and Maria Muldaur, and each time I went to the Royal I thought how that style of venue could benefit Cranbrook. Perhaps that day is near.

I’ve neglected to mention a lot: The ad-vent of the Good Ol’ Goats, the great work coming out of the schools and EKMTA, the coffeehouses, the jam sessions. Watch these pages in 2013. We’ll do our best to keep you up to date.

If 2013 is going present us with chal-lenges, it’s also promising us more musical highlights, and right off the bat too.

The Beannick concert series starts Jan-uary 12, at the Studio Stage Door, with Cahalen Morrison and Eli West. This sub-scription concert series, now entering its fourth season, sells out every year.

The Tragically Hip kick off a Canadian tour at the Rec Plex January 19. I can’t wait for the next mega act to come so I can line up all night for tickets. I wonder who it will be! That show, sorry to say, is sold out.

Dean Brody, formerly of Jaffray, who was the big winner at the Canadian Coun-try Music Association Awards in 2012, will be helping set the right tone to 2013 with two shows at the Key City Theatre, January 27 and 28. Sorry to say, sold out. Must be a hunger for music in Cranbrook. Must be a hunger for music. Must be a hunger for venues.

If 2013 turns out to be anything at all like 2012 was musically, I think we can survive whatever else it throws at us.

“This thing all things devours / Birds, beasts, trees, flowers / Gnaws iron, bites steel / Grinds hard stones to meal / Slays king, ruins town / And beats high mountain down.”

This poetic riddle (the answer is ‘time’) appears in chapter five of “The Hob-bit.” Written by J. R. R. Tolkien in 1937,

this ‘Riddles in the Dark’ episode remains the most famous scene Tolkien ever wrote. In it, the hobbit of the book’s title en-ters a riddle contest with the creature Gollum, literally playing for his life. This con-test was no mere fictional devise, but was deeply root-ed in something that was lost.

“The Hobbit” contains creatures such as dwarves, trolls, goblins, elves, and drag-ons — most of which is familiar to most readers, being of the same order as the ones found in “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” and “Mother Goose.”

Yet something was extremely different. Although the fairy tale creatures looked to belong to the same enchanted world, they all remained very much detached from one another. Snow White’s dwarves are entirely different than the dwarf in Rum-pelstiltskin. Fairy tales had no continuity which would indicate a shared universe.

Tolkien was a professor of Old and Mid-dle English at Oxford, but his main occu-pation was philology — the study of the historical sources of words. As a philolo-gist, Tolkien noticed the word ‘dwarf’ in English was ‘zwerg’ in Old English and

Modern German, ‘dwerg’ in Dutch, and ‘dverg’ in Old Norse. The similarities clear-ly indicated that the word was older than any fairy tale, and that they did indeed come from a shared mythological world sometime in Europe’s past. Using philolo-gy, one could work backward — say from the dwarf in Rumpelstiltskin — and find the original source amongst ancient texts.

Sadly, by the time this occurred to any-one, it was already too late. The origins of these stories only survive in bits and fragments. The Grimms did their best to record German folk tales in the 1800s, but by then much was already lost.

And unlike the Grimm Brothers, Tolkien could not collect the folklore and myths of England. There weren’t any. The Norman invasion of 1066 included the destruction of all vernacular literature. English myths, English legends, and English fairy-stories no longer existed. A few fragments gave hints at what was once, such as Beowulf (which contained orcs, elves, giants, and demons), but any-thing else has been lost.

So in “The Hobbit,” Tolkien began to reconstruct this lost world of English my-thology. Using philology, which is incredi-bly precise, he was able to reconstruct ‘Midgard’ — the mythological universe found in Norse, Germanic, and Old En-glish literature. In modern English ‘Mid-gard’ means ‘Middle Earth.’ And it was this world where he set his story in “The Hob-bit.”

But by doing so he was left was prob-

lem: Middle Earth was so unlike anything else, Tolkien felt it would be too bewilder-ing for modern readers.

His solution was Bilbo Baggins. Now Bilbo — the hobbit of “The Hob-

bit,” in no way belongs in Middle Earth. He smokes tobacco, receives mail, has his food delivered, and is unable understand birds or even hoot like an owl. He doesn’t want to fight battles, or sleep on the ground, or be away from the comforts of home. What the dwarves see as weakness-es happen to be the exact ones of the mod-ern reader.

The riddle contest first mentioned above exemplifies this point. Gollum’s rid-dles are archaic and old, dark and horrible; Bilbo’s are modern, light and humorous. And yet, both perfectly understood each other.

What this meant, and what Tolkien was crucially trying to drive home, was that Bilbo (and the reader) belongs in Middle Earth after all.

(Gollum’s riddles are found in the “Codex Exoniensis,” an ancient book of poetry donated to England’s Exeter Cathe-dral Library in 1072 by a travelling bishop. It contains over 100 pages of Old English poetry (the largest surviving collection to date), and a series of riddles, providing a priceless glimpse into the vanished An-glo-Saxon world. Not everyone thought this book to be priceless — it was used as a breadboard to cut cheese with, a beer coaster, and someone used it to stamp out a fire).

Reconstructing Middle Earth

I keep a mental list of the 10 coolest things I’ve ever done as a journalist.

Number one always has been, and always will be, the Yukon Quest Interna-tional Sled Dog Race, which I did in 2010. That one will never be topped, unless I get to like, go to the moon and report with my feet firmly planted in Neil Armstrong’s footsteps. That would be pretty cool.

This year I added to that list more than once. My first addition was a week in April when it seemed like all hell broke loose. This started with a jolt awake on a morning off when I heard the follow-ing on the phone outside my bedroom: “The whole block is gone? Oh no, Annalee just brought her camera in there.”

Was I ever awake. I jumped out of bed and sped down to Cranbrook and headed immediately for the Baker Street fire scene, with my trusty spare camera body in tow. I had broken my beloved DSLR the week earlier, and brought it in to Brian Clarkson at Cranbrook Photo to be sent off to Canon. The entire drive I envisioned my favourite camera store reduced to a pile of rubble, my melted camera somewhere within the gloom.

But when I got there, Cranbrook Photo had survived. I was relieved, but then im-mediately stunned by the destruction. I felt stupid for freaking out about my camera when people had lost their homes and livelihoods.

That day I spent circling the scene, tak-ing photo after photo, interviewing those affected, and learning more about Cran-

brook. Everyone had some sort of connec-tion to those buildings. I remember staring over the debris and thinking about how beautiful the mountains looked through

the arches and the lingering smoke.

Later that day, I found out Kimberley was flooding and that the Bulletin need-ed help with the coverage – and off I went from one ex-treme to the other without any time to change my

shoes. I sloshed around Morrison Sub all after-

noon and into the evening, again with my trusty second camera in hand. I was struck by the humour the residents showed. I re-member laughing with one woman whose basement was flooded. She brought a chalkboard out onto her lawn and scrawled: “Morrison Sub waterfront prop-erty,” and a price. Then there was the man canoeing down the street, and the resi-dents banding together and hauling sand-bags.

That was a day I won’t soon forget. I crawled into bed that night exhausted, with dreams of water and licking flames.

Another addition to my list was the re-cent feature I did on the CASARA training. I never did get to fly, but listening to Mean Jean Tremblay talk about his life was more than enough to keep a curious journalist occupied. Then we got to go inside the aircraft and I wondered how this massive plane loaded with military gear ever took off, let alone in 1,200 feet.

Another cool thing I did this year was covering the NORAM races at the Kimber-

ley Alpine Resort. I immediately add any events to my list that I get to ski to. It was incredible to see Josh Dueck do what he does best – ski. I remember the crazy de-termined look on his face when he swept down the hill and got about five feet of air. I also remember getting yelled at by securi-ty so I could get a little closer for my shot of Josh.

Then, during a break I realized I had to leave. Security escorted us down – down the race track. Now, I can ski but I am not what one calls a triple black diamond en-thusiast. I was so nervous that I’d put ruts in the track, or destroy the blue outline or fall and tumble down the hill with all the racers at the bottom watching. That made me ski like a beginner, repeating to myself in my head: “If you french fry when you’re supposed to pizza, you’re gonna have a bad time.”

I did fall, hard. And it was on such a steep section that I slid in a heap all the way down with my camera on my back, sacrificing my body to save my equipment (I’ve had to do that more than once). I ar-rived at the bottom of the run, snowy and wet. I remember saying goodbye to our sports editor, Trevor Crawley, and zipping away like nothing happened. I was sud-denly french frying like I’d never even piz-za’d before. It’s funny how you talk yourself into sucking at the things you’re actually quite good at.

Here’s to a great 2012, and looking for-ward to expanding my list past 10 next year.

The road was kind to the visiting teams over the weekend, as the Spokane Chiefs came into Cranbrook and stole a win on Friday, before the Ice took some revenge the fol-lowing night in Wash-ington state.

Todd Fiddler scored the game’s only goal in the second period on Friday, as the Chiefs shut out the Ice 1-0, however, an explosive second half of Satur-day’s game put the Ice up 7-3 on Spokane to complete the home and home series.

Though the Ice won on the road, they had plenty of opportunities to win at home, but Chiefs netminder Eric Williams managed to stay perfect with 29 saves.

Mackenzie Skapski was equally brilliant with 24 stops—and the main reason why it was only a one-goal game—however, Fiddler’s goal late in the middle frame proved to be enough for Spokane’s win.

“I thought we had

our chances, we had lots of scoring chances, we just couldn’t put the puck in the net,” said Joey Leach, who re-turned to the bench on Friday after recovering from injury. “We gave up one goal—they’re a pretty good offensive team. I thought we played well in our zone, just one brain fart, and it’s in the back of our net.”

Brock Montgomery and Tanner Muth also made a return to the bench after recovering from upper body inju-ries, while Collin Shir-ley was absent, as he is off playing in the World U17 Hockey Challenge in Quebec.

Though it was only a one-goal game, the Ice had plenty of chances to get on the board, in-cluding a two-man ad-vantage for 1:11 in the second period.

“He made some nice saves, but we had him down and out a few times and you got to be able to put the puck in the net and get the puck up,” said Leach.

Spokane failed to to score in two power play

opportunities, while the Ice never capitalized in four chances.

It was a much differ-ent game the following night, as Levi Cable broke a tie early in the second period, which was followed by four consecutive markers as Kootenay ran away with the game.

It was shot for shot in the first 25 minutes of the affair, as both teams traded a trio of goals, before the Ice took con-trol of the game in the latter half of the second period.

Erik Benoit opened the scoring for Koote-nay, but Fiddler re-sponded five minutes later. Austin Vetterl put the Ice back in the lead, but Dylan Walchuk pulled Spokane even again.

The Chiefs briefly pulled ahead early in the second period on another goal from Fid-dler, however, Reinhart brought the game back to a tie on a powerplay.

Levi Cable put Koo-tenay back in the lead 10 minutes later, and Tanner Faith scored his first career WHL goal to

Subban sharp as Canada downs U.S. 2-1DONNA SPENCER

Canadian Press

UFA, Russia—Mal-colm Subban stepped up for Canada in a big way on Sunday.

The goaltender made 36 saves as the Canadians defeated the United States 2-1 to stay perfect after three games at the world ju-nior hockey champion-ship.

Subban, who plays for the OHL’s Belleville Bulls, made a number of game-saving and game-changing stops. Coming into the tourna-ment, there were ques-tions about his concen-tration after he yielded questionable goals during selection camp and pre-camp, as well as his propensity to give up long rebounds.

The 19-year-old put those questions to rest against the Americans and reinforced both his

confidence and his teammates’ faith as Canada moves towards the medal round.

``We needed that,’’ Canadian coach Steve Spott said. ``You have to have elite goaltending to win this tournament. We’ve seen it over the last number of years that you need your goal-tender to be your best penalty killer and cer-tainly he was tonight.’’

Subban didn’t play badly in wins over Ger-many and Slovakia, in which he allowed three goals on 28 shots in each. But the Boston Bruins prospect stepped up his game against the U.S. for his best of the tournament so far.

“No one deserves it more than him,’’ Cana-dian forward Ryan Strome said. ``He proved a lot of people wrong. We knew he had it in him.’’

Strome and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored goals for Canada, whose biggest game of the pre-liminary round now looms Monday against host Russia.

The battle of the un-beaten teams will deter-mine which country tops Pool B and gets the bye to the semifinal. The loser must advance to the semifinal via a

quarter-final win.Canada sits first in

the group at 3-0 with nine points, followed by Russia at 2-0-1 with eight. The U.S. and Slo-vakia, both with a win and three points apiece, meet Monday to deter-mine the group’s third playoff team.

Defending champi-on Sweden tops Pool A with eight points, fol-

lowed by the Czech Re-public with six and Fin-land and Switzerland tied with five heading into the final day of pre-liminary-round games.

Defenceman Jacob Trouba scored for the Americans. John Gib-son, who plays for Spott’s Kitchener Rang-ers of the OHL, made it a goaltender’s duel with 30 saves

DONNA SPENCERCanadian Press

UFA, Russia—They were the first players se-lected in the last two NHL drafts by the same club, but the first time Canada’s Ryan Nu-gent-Hopkins and Rus-sia’s Nail Yakupov step on the ice together, they’ll be combatants.

The captains of their respective countries at

the world junior hockey championship provide an intriguing and un-usual subplot to what is already billed as the big-gest game of the prelim-inary round.

The winner of Mon-day’s meeting will top Pool B and gain a bye to the semifinal, while the loser must advance via a quarter-final. The other prominent storyline is

which of the Edmonton Oilers’ prized prospects can lead their country to an advantageous playoff position.

“I haven’t seen him play live yet so I’m excit-ed about that,’’ Nu-gent-Hopkins said of the Russian earlier this week. “Obviously he’s a special player and I look forward to playing with him in a couple of years.’’

Oilers teammates set to clash

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Home is where the heart is.

At least, that’s where the wins came from this weekend, as the Nitros and Ghostriders traded wins on home ice in Kimberley and Fernie on Saturday and Sun-day.

The Dynamiters earned a 5-3 decision at the Civic Centre on Sat-urday evening, but dropped a 5-2 decision at the Memorial Arena in Fernie on Sunday night.

The Nitros have slipped to third place in the Eddie Mountain Di-vision, six points behind the Ghostriders and the Golden Rockets, both of which are tied up and slugging it out for first place.

Anthony Gardner kicked things off for the ‘Riders on Saturday, grabbing a first period lead before the Dyna-miters evened things up on a shorthanded effort from Eric Buckley in the following frame.

Sam Nigg put the Ni-tros ahead halfway through the period, for a 2-1 lead going into the final 20 minutes.

Fernie scored twice from Joel Burgess and Jared Potter to tie the game and take the lead, however, Kimberley roared back with three unanswered goals.

Corson Johnstone drew it back to a draw, before Dylan Sibbald retook the Nitro lead, with Nigg scoring again for added insurance.

Pierce Dushenko

stood in net for Fernie, stopping 25 shots while Matthew Mitchell manned the crease for the Nitros, stopping 38 pucks.

Both teams had 11 opportunities on the power play; Kimberley capitalized once on Niggs first goal, while Fernie was shut out on all of their chances.

Dylan Rota led the way for the ‘Riders on Sunday evening, scor-ing a hat trick, including the final empty netter that put the game out of reach for the Nitros at the end of the third peri-od.

Despite the loss, Kimberley opened the scoring on the man-ad-vantage off a goal from Nigg. Two minutes later, the ‘Riders pulled even when Rota got his first of the game.

Fernie shut the Dy-namiters out in the sec-ond period, while light-ing the goal lamp twice from Josh McKissock and Rota.

Derek Chudyk made it 4-1 in the latter half of the final period for Fernie, before Nigg re-sponded again for the Nitros.

However, a come-back fell short and Rota completed his hat trick with an empty net goal in the dying seconds.

Defending Superbowl champions eliminated from playoffsTom C anavanAssociated Press

EAST RUTHER-FORD, N.J. —Justin Tuck called it a funny year. He and his New York Giants teammates weren’t laughing.

There will be no re-peat championship for the Giants, not even a playoff berth. A 9-7 sea-son wasn’t good enough this time around.

The Giants saw their playoff hopes end Sun-day, minutes after a 42-7 win over the Phila-delphia Eagles when Chicago beat Detroit 26-24.

“It happens that way,’’ Tuck said after the Giants rebounded from two bad losses and routed the Eagles in what might have been Andy Reid’s final game at coach. “I’ve been 10-6 and not made the playoffs. You’ve got to win the ones you’re supposed to. That’s why the division games mean so much. If we’d won the division games, we’d still be in the driv-er’s seat.’’

Instead, they are headed home early.

“We are certainly disappointed we are not in the playoffs,’’ coach Tom Coughlin said after New York missed the post-season for the third time in four years. “Our goal was certainly to be there. Our goal was to win the division. We didn’t do that either. We won nine games and there is no way anyone can talk us out of that. We do have the nine wins, but it’s not good enough.’’

A year ago it was. The Giants won their last two games in 2011 to get into the playoffs, and finished the season with six straight wins in earning their second NFL title in five sea-sons.

This marks the sev-enth straight season the Super Bowl champion has failed to win a play-off game the following year.

Moments after fin-ishing his worst season with the Eagles (4-12), Reid said he would like

to return for the final year of a contract that will pay him $6 million next year. Reid expects to meet with owner Jef-frey Lurie on Monday.

“I’ve been doing it a long time. I have re-spect for Jeff Lurie. I go in eyes wide open,’’ Reid said. “Either way, I understand. Whatever he chooses will be the right thing. He always does things for the best interests of the Eagles.’’

Eli Manning did his part to keep the Giants in the chase with a ca-reer-best five touch-down passes. Fans who stuck around were chanting “Let’s Go Lions’’ as the final mo-ments ticked off in the Chicago-Detroit game.

“It hurts,’’ said Man-ning, who finished 13 of 21 for 208 yards and no interceptions. “Each year you want to make the playoffs to give yourself an opportunity to win a championship; 9-7 last year was good enough. It wasn’t good enough this year and we knew it wouldn’t be.’’

After going 6-2, they lost five of eight, includ-ing two games by a combined 67-14 to playoff-bound Atlanta and Baltimore.

“The first thing is you don’t ever rely on anybody else in this business,’’ said Cough-lin. “You’ve got to take care of your own busi-ness. We certainly had our chances. That will be the No. 1 thing I’ll

talk to the team about.’’Manning woke up

the offence with touch-down passes of 3 and 38 yards to rookie Rueben Randle, a 15-yarder to David Wilson and a 24-yarder to Victor Cruz just before half-time for a 35-7 lead. He’s the first Giant to throw five TD passes in a game since Phil Simms in 1980. His fifth score was a 1-yard pass

to fullback Henry Hynoski in the fourth quarter.

Ahmad Bradshaw, who rushed for 107 yards and passed the 1,000-yard mark for the second time in his ca-reer, also scored on a 1-yard run.

Starting for the first time since a concussion against Dallas in early November, Michael Vick threw a 7-yard

touchdown to Jeremy Maclin. Vick finished 19 of 35 for 197 yards and one interception before being replaced by Trent Edwards.

The Eagles had hoped to send Reid out on a positive note, but they played poorly.

“We came, we stunk it up and we lost,’’ de-fensive tackle Cullen Jenkins said. “It was ter-rible. No heart.’’

Jon Kr awCzynsKiAssociated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Adrian Peterson’s re-markable comeback sea-son now has a magic number to punctuate it.

Peterson became the seventh player to rush for 2,000 yards in a sea-son, plowing through the Green Bay Packers for a 20-yard gain that put him over the top in the third quarter Sunday.

Peterson entered the game needing 102 yards to join O.J. Simpson, Eric Dickerson, Barry Sand-ers, Terrell Davis, Jamal

Lewis and Chris Johnson in the 2,000-yard club. Peterson is the only one to do it after reconstruc-tive knee surgery.

Dickerson’s sin-gle-season record of 2,105 yards set in 1984 isn’t far out of reach, ei-ther. Peterson needed 208 yards when the day began, and was 64 yard away as the fourth quar-ter approached.

The Vikings punted a few plays after Peterson’s big run, and the crowd gave him a standing ova-tion when the achieve-ment was announced.

Peterson took it all in stride, waving politely, but otherwise not mak-ing anything special out of it in a game the Vi-kings needed to win to make the playoffs. He simply didn’t have time to reflect on the long, ar-duous path it took for him to get there after tearing the ACL in his left knee.

It was only last De-cember when Peterson crumpled to the turf in Washington, two liga-ments torn, leaving many to wonder if his career would ever be the

same.Well, it hasn’t been.Peterson vowed from

the very beginning to re-turn better than ever from an injury that has ended the careers of so many before him. There weren’t many believers, including in his own locker room.

But a combination of uncommon genetics, unshakable determina-tion and a smart rehabil-itation plan from Vikings athletic trainer Eric Sugarman had Peterson back in the starting line-up on opening day.

Peterson tops 2,000 yards, 7th in NFL history

DON’T DRINK and DRIVE

Tragically, during the months of November and December in B.C., on average, there is an 80 per cent increase in crashes where a pedestrian is injured when compared to July and August. In the Lower Mainland, the average number of crashes where a pedestrian is injured doubles in Novem-ber and December compared to July and August.*

The recent pedestrian incidents across the province serve as a strong reminder that as the weather condi-tions get darker and deteriorate as winter quickly approaches, we all need to be extra careful on our roads to help keep pedestrians safe.

“Public safety is al-ways our top priority,” said Mary Polak, Min-ister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “We encourage drivers to slow down and use

caution, especially during the winter months when it gets dark out earlier, and there could be rain or snow on the roads. If you are out walking at night, we encourage you to wear some-thing bright or reflec-tive to help motorists spot you.”

“At this time of year, it’s more important than ever for driv-ers to slow down and be prepared to stop for pedestrians,” said John Dickinson, ICBC’s director of road safety. “Pedestrians should use designated crossing points only, make eye contact with

drivers and add reflec-tive gear to clothing whenever possible. We want to help prevent these tragedies so we’re urging driv-ers and pedestrians to use extra caution during these dark, fall weather conditions.”

Here are ICBC’s tips for pedestrians and drivers to help them share our roads and stay safe:

For drivers:

When you approach an intersection, scan left and right for pe-destrians.

Be extra cautious and look out for pedestri-ans when making a

left or right hand-turn.

Always yield to pedes-trians at intersections. It’s the law.

If a vehicle is stopped in front of you or in the lane next to you, they may be yielding for a pedestrian, so be prepared to stop.

Be aware of pedestri-ans who seem unsure or who may not be paying attention. They might dart out or wan-der onto the roadway.

Before you get into your vehicle, make it a habit to walk around it to make sure no small children are behind your vehicle. Always watch for pedestrians

Enjoy the Holiday Season, Please

when you’re backing up.

For pedestrians:

Always focus your full attention on what’s happening on the roadway so you can see, hear and respond safely when you’re crossing the street. Remove your head-phones, and put away your cellphone or other gadgets to make sure you’re prepared for the unexpected.

Make eye contact with drivers, so you both know you see each other. Drivers don’t always see you even if you see them.

Drivers may not always stop or obey traffic signals. Expect the unexpected.

Use designated cross-ing points and follow pedestrian traffic signs and signals.

Before stepping off the curb, look left and right for oncoming vehicles. Then look left again for vehicles that may be turning onto the roadway from beside or behind you.

Wear bright or light-coloured clothing. In dark conditions or in bad weather, wear reflective material on your clothes (sleeves, shoes, cap or jacket).

Where there are no sidewalks, always walk on the left side of the road facing traffic.

Alcohol and drugs impair driving ability in many waysMillions of people die each year due to alco-hol- and drug-related motor vehicle acci-dents. Many people simply do not realize how much alcohol and drugs affect one’s abil-ity to operate a motor vehicle. Many more may mistakenly feel they won’t be among the many people who cause injuries to themselves or oth-ers when operating a vehicle in an impaired state. Drugs, whether they are illegal or legal, can impair a person’s motor skills, leading to accidents.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says al-most 30 people in the United States die each day in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. That equates to 1 death every 48 minutes. Many other accidents and fatali-ties can be traced back to other substances, whether legal or illegal. Using drugs such as marijuana and co-caine can be linked to roughly 20 percent of motor vehicle driver deaths in the United States. Compounding the problem is that these drugs are often used in conjunction with alcohol.

MADD Canada esti-mates that a minimum of 1,074 fatalities in 2009 could be attrib-uted to impairment-related driving in that country. Moreover, it is also estimated that 63,338 were injured in alcohol- and drug-re-lated crashes the same year.

What is BAC?BAC, or blood-alcohol concentration, mea-sures the amount of milligrams of alcohol that is in 100 milliliters of blood. Each drink a person consumes in-creases his or her BAC.

The legal BAC varies all over the world. Some countries have a zero-tolerance policy, while

in Canada and much of the United States the legal limit is .08 percent. That means anything more than 80 milligrams of alcohol is punishable.

But a person can still suffer side effects of alcohol consump-tion if their BAC is below the legal limit. Between .03 and .06 a person may experi-ence mild euphoria, trouble concentrat-ing, a relaxed feeling, talkativeness and decreased inhibi-tion. Between .06 and .08, feelings may be dulled, peripheral vision can decrease, and drivers may have poorer depth percep-tion and struggle to recover from glare.

Drugs that im-pair drivingUsing drugs can also make it hard to safely operate a motor vehicle. Many drugs

can affect the body in ways that make it dangerous to drive.

A person may not think they are driving under the influence after taking a cold or allergy pill. However, many of these pills can impair driving ability because they tend to cause drowsi-ness.

Drugs that act on the brain, such as psycho-active drugs, antide-pressants, sleeping medications, and anti-anxiety drugs, can impair reaction time, judgment and motor skills. Most

medications that can prove danger-ous while driving will carry a warning label that advises against driving or operating heavy machinery.

Illegal drugs have their own share of negative effects. Research indicates that marijuana is one of the most prevalent illegal drugs detected in individu-als fatally injured in driving accidents. The Emergency Medical Services Authority says marijuana can cause reduced con-centration, difficulty perceiving time and

distance, poor speed control, inability to read signs, drowsi-ness, and distraction.

Cocaine can mask fatigue and impair a person’s ability to con-centrate. Impulsive behaviors can lead to risk-taking. Some research suggests that antagonistic effects can be produced when cocaine is mixed with alcohol.

The EMSA says the use of amphetamines can interfere with concentration, impair vision and increase the driver’s willingness to take risks.

It is better to err on the side of caution and avoid the use of any drugs or alcohol if you plan to be driving. No one wants to cope with the emotional, financial and legal ramifications that can occur should an acci-dent leading to injury or fatality occur.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your imagination dominates most situations. Do not sit on your anger; otherwise, sarcasm and harsh words might fly out of your mouth. Only by having calm discussions and expressing a lot of caring can you patch up the situation. Tonight: Express your anger effectively. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Decide to make New Year’s plans that involve having a par-ty at your house. It’s OK if this is a last-minute decision. Invite your favorite neighbors and friends over to join in the fun. With good vibes around you, you’ll start the new year off on the right note. Tonight: Anchor in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Make calls early in the day. You could wonder where a situation ends and/or begins. Does it make that much of a difference? Stay present. You will find that you can enjoy yourself even in a difficult situation. Tonight: If

you haven’t made your resolu-tions yet, do it now. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Help a friend let go of a difficult year. Your caring is appreciated by this person, but be careful, as a loved one could become jealous as a result. Remember your sweetie and how import-ant your bond is. Tonight: Ring in the new year by hugging the one you love. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You know what to do. You feel it in your bones as you go off to wish people a Happy New Year. A spontaneous decision to visit a friend in the early afternoon could set off the celebrations. Tonight: Nobody likes the snap, crackle and pop of a party more than you do! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Make it OK to decline an invi-tation to a celebration. You’ll perk up after having the right conversation with a friend. Your nurturing qualities start to emerge, and once more, you are beaming. A long-overdue chat with someone makes you smile. Tonight: Get into the moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your smile tells everyone how you feel. You sense that the new year will be a good one, and you’re probably right. Where the parties are and where your friends are is where you want to be. Even with your sweetie, you still gravitate to crowds. Tonight: Cheer in the new year. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You make a great leader, which is fortunate, as that is your role. Friends and acquaintances seem to be scattered until you set the mood. Be sure to share your New Year’s resolutions with someone who cares deeply. To-night: Pop a bottle of bubbly at just the right moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. This person offers you a different perspective. Simply by speaking to him or her, you will be taken to a whole other intellectual realm. De-tach, and you’ll see life through new eyes. Tonight: When New Year’s rolls in, think of a wish. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will be happiest relating to

others individually. You might not be up for superficiality at this point. The intensity be-tween you and a friend occu-pies your thoughts. Deal with an unexpected development on the homefront. Tonight: To-getherness and New Year’s go together. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You can sit back and relax. You might want to take a nap or clean out a drawer in order to start fresh for the new year. In any case, you won’t be alone for any length of time, as friends surround you. Tonight: Pop some bubbly, make resolutions and greet the new year in style. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be stuck playing the role of host or hostess for the night, even if it’s not at your own celebration. Pick up an item you have wanted today. Start your new year off with something new. Do not swallow your anger. Tonight: Be a role model. Live it up! BORN TODAY Actor Val Kilmer (1959), actor Anthony Hopkins (1937), singer/songwriter John Denver (1943)

Dear Annie: My husband and I lived with a very dysfunctional situation for several years. His children from a prior marriage were encouraged by their mother to tell falsehoods about our home life. She was planning to leave the state and needed full custody in order to take them, and she ulti-mately accomplished this. We went to counseling and considered le-gal action, but realized that even if we won, we no longer agreed on how to parent these kids. The constant discord did some damage to our marriage. My husband put up with a lot of nastiness as long as the kids would see him. I tried to help, but couldn’t tolerate their continuing dishonesty and disrespect. The kids eventually developed problems in their personal lives, school and jobs. Slow-ly, my husband rebuilt a relationship with them, but in doing so, he allowed me to be viewed as the enemy. I stopped being in-cluded in family plans. Now his ex-wife and grown children treat my husband as if he is single. The holidays are fine, since the grown children spend them with their mother, and my husband spends his with our little family. However, he attends his children’s graduations, weddings and birthdays without me. I love my husband. He is happy with us and lets us know. Most of all, he thanks us for al-lowing him to be a normal parent. He has his adult children in his life and sees them once or twice a year, but the situation is becom-ing increasingly untenable to me. I no lon-ger know what line to draw. Where do we go from here? -- The Second Wife Dear Second: Actually, the line was drawn some time ago: Your husband attends his grown children’s functions without you. This is not ideal, but it also doesn’t have to be cause for constant misery. It would show tre-mendous grace for you to tell your husband to go and spend time with his adult children, without any residual bitterness on your part. It’s only once or twice a year, and we suspect Hubby would be enormously grateful. Dear Annie: My husband, whom I love, has sleep apnea, snores loudly and refuses to wear a CPAP. He also won’t see his doc-tor about alternatives. How am I supposed to get any sleep? I need my rest. -- Tired in Nebraska Dear Tired: We trust your husband is aware of the severe health risks of having untreated sleep apnea. However, you cannot force him to do anything about it, so we recommend that you invest in earplugs or that one of you sleep in another room. Dear Annie: I’m responding to “Want My Husband Back,” whose married life turned to hell when her husband retired. When I married my wife, I was very sports minded and adventurous with several hob-bies. My wife was not interested in those things. I managed to teach her cribbage, but that was about it. Now, we are both retired and work part time a couple of days a week. I started to explore some “on the edge” sports, and I forgot about her. After she called me on the carpet about it, I realized she had a point. All of my activities were directed to-ward me, and she was on the outside. We decided on a course adjustment, and now I’m enjoying the opera while she is learning about extreme sports. She has even expressed some interest in trying one. The best part is, we’re together so much more often that it’s like we went back in time 45 years. And our private time together has re-ally improved. We have an agenda every day, even when we work. So my advice for retired couples is to call a timeout, make some adjustments and have fun. -- Enjoying Retirement in New England Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
