On Sunday, Dec. 29, the first annual Cranbrook Clas-sic hockey game took place. The game was a chance for the seven- and eight-year-old players to experience the great outdoor hockey game.
The game was played on the Chisholm Pond in Mayook and the two teams
were sponsored by Snap-on Tools and Spring Honda.
Corey Spring, one of the organizers, said the combi-nation of the community and the spirit of outdoor adven-ture came together to make the event a great one for the kids.
A former member of the Tampa Bay Lightning and part-owner of Spring Honda
in Cranbrook, Spring says the event grew from a conversa-tion with a number of hockey parents.
“A couple of the parents were all sitting there talking one day about pond hockey and getting the kids playing on the pond,” Spring said. “A bunch of us coach the novice house teams, seven and eight year olds. We were looking at
getting some extra ice time over the holidays. Then Miles Chisholm said his dad has a pond out in Mayook.
It started off as a practice, but Spring suggested having a game and it just snowballed from there. They wanted to model the game after the NHL outdoor games. He esti-mated at least 150 people went out there to watch, and
the weather was great. The rink was outfitted
with snow bank boards and painted with face-off rings. Scott and Rob Niedermayer were even there to drop the puck.
About 150 people came out to watch the game, while roasting hot dogs, marshmal-lows and drinking hot choco-late at a big bonfire.
In the morning, the orga-nizers bussed all the kids out from Western Financial Place. Then when they got out there, they sent them on a hayride and rode them down to the rink, since there wasn’t any room for the bus to drive all the way down there.
First ‘Cranbrook Classic’ held over weekend

Three arrested, in custody after two home invasions
S a l ly M ac D o n a l DTownsman Staff
After two home in-vasions in two weeks in Cranbrook, police have arrested three people.
As previously re-ported in the Towns-man, the first home in-vasion occurred on Dec. 18 on 1st Avenue South.
Three people wear-ing masks and carrying firearms forced their way into the home.
“The subject they were looking for was not present,” said Cpl. Chris Newel. “There was an altercation with the residents, and they stole electronic devices then departed.
“On Dec. 24 there was a break and enter at the same residence; the incidents are be-lieved to be related.”
Then, on Boxing Day, another home in-vasion happened on 6th Street North in Cranbrook. Four peo-ple entered a residence carrying a long gun, a shot gun, an Uzi-style firearm, brass knuckles and a baton.
“They demanded money and drugs but stole several electronic devices,” said Cpl. Newel.
A police investiga-tion determined that the stolen items were at a residence in Kim-berley. RCMP obtained a search warrant and search the home on Dec. 27.
“Stolen property from the incidents on

Dec. 18 and 26 was re-covered. In addition, several firearms were located and seized,” said Cpl. Newel.
After RCMP learned that the home owner was in the process of moving, they obtained a warrant to search a second home, where more stolen property was found.
A third search war-rant was executed in Cranbrook, which found more stolen property.
Meanwhile, Kim-berley RCMP investi-gated a break and enter on Dec. 24. Two fire-arms were stolen, which were recovered during the searches.
RCMP recovered the weapons believed to have been used in the home invasions on Dec. 29. Kimberley RCMP followed up on information concern-ing a vehicle used by the suspects. In the ve-hicle, police found a sawed off shotgun and an Uzi-style firearm.
“The Uzi style is a BB gun but looks real,” said Cpl. Newel.
After obtaining all of this evidence, police arrested three people.
“As a result of the evidence obtained, three persons were ar-rested and are facing a number of charges in-cluding possession of stolen property, break
and enter, possession of firearms, robbery and wearing a dis-guise.”
Those arrested are two males, aged 23 and 24, and one female, aged 28. They ap-peared before a Judi-cial Justice of the Peace on Dec. 28 and were kept in custody to ap-pear in court on Dec. 30. They are residents of Cranbrook and Kim-berley.
“This was a very complex involved in-vestigation that Cran-brook RCMP worked diligently to solve,” said Cpl. Newel. “Investiga-tors were following up on the first incident that occurred on Dec.
18, when they learned of a second incident Dec. 24 and the third Dec. 26. They quickly realized the incidents were related and the suspects likely the same.
“Even though Dec 26 was a holiday and a number of officers were enjoying time with their families, they quickly began fol-lowing up on tips.
“These dedicated officers put the safety of the community first. They responded to the situation, worked long hours and were suc-cessful in recovering stolen property, seizing firearms and charging three individuals.”
Two home invasions and a robbery on
two Cranbrook homes led to a busy Christmas
season for Cranbrook and

Spring said when he was kid just about every weekend he and his friends were at the out-door arena, at the fire-hall or at the outdoor ponds of the area.
“We’d take a drive out towards Jaffray, or wherever we could find some ice that was shov-elled or plowed off and just have a pickup game,” he said. “When I think of my kids now, they really haven’t done that a lot.”
Spring said the orga-nizers hoped that the event would be an ex-perience for the kids that would really show them what a great place they live in.
“In 20 years from now, if they’re out there sledding and plowing the lake and getting ev-erything ready for their kids, I think we did a good job,” he said.
The business com-munity was supportive as well, he said.
Save-on Foods sup-plied hot dogs, Culligan Water supplied water, Pete Savarie Logging supplied wood for the fire, McDonalds sup-plied drinks, Falkins In-surance provided insur-ance and Sun City Bus Line provided the bus.
“Every single busi-ness we asked for help in putting this together, without even question they did what they could,” he said. “Every business chipped in and made it a lot more than we were ever ex-pecting.”
Spring said it was a success and from talking to people out there, ev-eryone had a blast and it would be a shame to not keep it going.
“I think we’ll plan for next year and hopefully the weather co-oper-ates with us. The whole idea of being just out in nature is really attrac-tive to everyone.”

From fire to flood, new construction and saved heritage build-ings, 2013 was a busy year in Cranbrook and Kimberley. From our viewpoint at the Towns-man, we have picked the biggest stories of the year. In Part Three, we look at the news of July through September.
JulyA Kimberley man
survived a fall into Mark Creek and over Marys-ville Falls on July 1. Kimberley Search and Rescue had to imple-ment a technical rope rescue to get the man out of the river.
***R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s
from the City of Cran-brook were part of a trip to China and Korea to foster economic ties. Mayor Wayne Stetski lauded the trip as a suc-cess.
***Koocanusa played
host to a 1,000-person strong music festival on the Canada Day long weekend. FozzyFest, a three-day-long elec-tronic music festival, was held at Big Springs campground at Tobac-co Plains Indian Band from June 28 to July 1, after its original loca-tion in Alberta flooded.
***A fire damaged the
historic Elko train sta-tion in Cranbrook. The fire started on the porch area of the building and spread to the attic and rear of the building be-fore it could be extin-guished.
***Justin Trudeau, lead-
er of the Liberal Party of Canada, made a stop in Cranbrook July 21, turn-ing Rotary Park into the local political event of the season.
***Cranbrook’s historic
Armond Theatre has a new owner — Jean
phony’s first concert of the new season was held in October, fol-lowed by a Christmas concert in December. The next concert is set for Saturday, Feb. 1, 2014.
***After concerns were
put forth by a Cran-brook city councillor, city staff noted that while there have been improvements to Cran-brook’s downtown, there is still a 25 per cent vacancy rate for the buildings.
***Operations at the
Canadian Rockies In-ternational Airport re-sumed quickly after an incident involving a small aircraft on Thurs-day morning, August 22 that sent the pilot to hospital. The private aircraft reportedly crashed parallel to the runway.
SeptemberHundreds of Cran-
brook fans gathered in September to meet two stars of the CBC series “Heartland.” Amy Flem-ing and Ty Borden were in town during the Cruise With a Cause six-day motorcycle mara-thon for prostate can-cer.
***The City of Cran-
brook unveiled a flashy new sign at the south-western entrance to the city. With contributions from Columbia Basin
Trust and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the sign reads “Welcome to Cranbrook” displayed on a rock wall that mim-ics the Rocky Mountain view from the city.
***B.C.’s 29th Lieu-
tenant Governor, the Honourable Judith Gui-chon, visited Cranbrook in September. During her four-day trip to the East Kootenay, Guichon spoke to students about your duties as represen-tative of Her Majesty the Queen.
***Almost 300 cyclists
took part in the inaugu-ral Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo in Septem-ber. The non-competi-tive cycling event saw riders chose from 50, 100 and 150 kilometre routes around Cran-brook and Kimberley.
***A Cranbrook mining
exploration company was given a signal hon-our in September. Atha-basca Nuclear Corp., a spin-off of Eagle Plains Resources, was asked to ring the bell in the To-ronto Stock Exchange to open the trading day on Sept. 13.
***A musician-produc-
er who grew up in Cran-brook released his debut album in Toron-to. Ryan Granville-Mar-tin’s album “Mouth-parts and Wings” fea-tures collaborations by
Ron Sexsmith, Martin Tielli of the Rheostatics, and Daniela Gesund-heit of Snowblink.
***A pair of young griz-
zly bears begin a week-long range through Kimberley. First spotted in Chapman Camp by residents, conservation officers began to keep an eye on the bears as they made their way around the city, visiting McKim Middle School and, eventually, Marys-ville. They had not shown any signs of ag-gression but conserva-tion officers, fearing en-counters with school children, were forced to euthanize one and trap the other, relocating it up the St. Mary River Valley.
***A man being pur-
sued by RCMP jumped into the Kootenay River in Wardner to escape capture on drugs charges. The move worked temporarily: the man was arrested two days later in Canal Flats.
***Also in September, a
man who appeared to have a broken nose and two black eyes tried to rob a bank in Cranbrook by using a pry bar to break open a rear door at 9:20 a.m. on a Friday morning. When the young man spotted bank staff, he turned and fled.
***A group of B.C. Hells
Cranbrook 2013: Year in Review Part IIIAngels with Cranbrook connections were ar-rested in Pontevedra, Spain in September. Jason Arkinstall, Chad Wilson, Scott Smitna and Michael Drybor-ough were arrested in a coffee bar by Spain’s National Police and charged over an at-tempt to smuggle co-caine from Colombia to Spain on a sailboat.
***By September, the
B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations had spent $1.5 million fixing some of the more than 50 sites and 30 bridges on the East Kootenay’s backcountry roads damaged or destroyed during the June floods. In all, forestry roads in the region suffered $5.5 million worth of dam-age and some remain closed until repair work can continue in the spring.
***A gruesome elk kill
closed Kimberley’s Lois Creek Trails in Septem-ber as conservation offi-cers were concerned that the grizzly would return for the food. COs removed the remains of the elk and kept the trails closed for five days, but the grizzly was not seen again.
***A Cranbrook pho-
tographer began the journey of a lifetime in September. Joel Robi-son was hired as an offi-cial photographer on the Fifa World Cup Tro-phy Tour, and set off to visit 89 countries in nine months. Robison is now in Vietnam, with four months of the tour remaining.
***Cranbrook was treat-
ed to a high-energy per-formance by the Indigo Girls in September. The folk rock duo stopped in Cranbrook during their first substantive tour of Canada.
***Tembec began sell-
ing off its land in the East Kootenay in September, starting by selling 1,875 hectares in the St. Mary River Valley for $4.2 mil-lion to a Nanaimo real estate company. In Oc-tober, it sold another 7,000 hectares in the Elk Valley to Teck. Teck an-nounced that it plans to protect the three pieces of land as conservation properties.
Trimble — who plans to turn the neglected downtown movie house into an art deco, Great Gatsby-style function centre.
***A month after tor-
rential rains devastated the East Kootenay, many backcountry roads in the region re-mained closed as gov-ernment staff scram-bled to plan expensive repairs. The estimated repair cost was $5.5 mil-lion.
***The cities of Cran-
brook and Kimberley, in consultation with the Southeast District RCMP, announced at the beginning of August the reestablishment of separate detachments for both cities.
***Nickolas Bullock —
the man charged in re-lation with a carjacking incident near Creston and police chase in Cranbrook in October
2012 — appeared in court in Port Coquitlam on July 31, and pleaded guilty to six charges, in-cluding four committed in Cranbrook. Bullock’s sentencing will take place January 31, 2014.
AugustA dramatic rescue
took place at Whiteswan Lake on August 3, when a five-year-old boy was trapped in a submerged vehicle. Two brothers from Lethbridge jumped into the water and rescued the boy. The other two passen-gers ended up safe as well.
***One of the East Koo-
tenay’s greatest cultural institutions came back after a year’s hiatus. The Symphony of the Koote-nays returned with a new artistic musical di-rector, an exciting new program of concerts, and a special mission to bring the symphony to the people. The Sym-

“The average woman is five foot four inches.”
The Bathroom Reader
When a person reaches my present age, everyone else looks so young and I, personally, have an awful time attempt-ing to assess people’s ages. So, when an airline places me carefully into a seat on a passenger plane next to what I consider to be an attractive girl, I am in trouble. Should I talk to her? How old is she? Will she be offended if I start chatting? I never can tell.
However, the past two Christmases I have taken a plane to Vancouver and I have ‘lucked out’ (isn’t that an inane expression? My luck was in, not out); each time I have been lowered into a seat beside what appeared to be a slip of a girl and then, to my surprise and delight, found myself for the remainder of the flight in earnest conversation with a grown woman. I have also fallen just a little bit in love.
Last year, I lucked out with a pretty little thing that looked as if she might just have moved into grade twelve but who, I soon found out, was a geologist with a PhD, who was running a mine some-where and was at that moment on the
first stage of her flight via Vancouver, Qatar in the Arab Emirates and Nepal. She was on her way to join a trekking party into the Everest base camp.
Now, I wouldn’t normally have been overly surprised at this information. I know several people who have earned PhDs. Some of my relatives have spent holidays in the Emirates and some of my
friends have actually climbed mountains in the Himalayas, not merely trekked in, but I am positive not one ever looked as young as that apparent child beside me for that ninety minutes.
This year I was herded politely into my appointed
seat and found myself beside a love-ly-looking young lady. She didn’t look like a teenager — as if I can tell anymore — but she was still young and attractive. She nodded politely to me as I creaked down into the seat and she smiled, so I started in.
This surprising female turned out to be a part-time teacher. I told her I was retired. She said she was teaching in In-vermere and we experimented to see if she knew anyone there that I was ac-quainted with. No. She hadn’t been long in Invermere, she explained, but she had been teaching English in China and, ap-parently, could speak one of the many
Chinese dialects. That was impressive.When I asked how she could live on
the salary of a part-time teacher, she told me that she was hoping to make a living as a writer. We were off to the races, as they say. We swapped tales of the pitiful earnings of writers, and commiserated with each other. I never have had flying time pass so quickly.
At one time I asked her if she had con-sidered marriage and a family and she grinned at me and said that occasionally the urge for children came to her but that she soon brushed it off. “Next summer,” she told me, “I am taking off with a friend and we’re going to drive across Canada, go down the east coast, then cross over north of the Mexican border then north again to B.C.” She grinned cheekily at me. “I just have to keep moving.”
I think that we were actually fairly good friends by the end of that flight and she surprised the heck out of me by in-sisting on a brief hug as we parted at YVR. I fell in love just a little bit again.
I guess that I grow very fond of these young ladies because they remind me of the young woman who agreed to marry me so very long ago. She too was always on the hop, travelling as far as her limited resources would allow, boldly travelling where no one else in her family had dare go. Sixty-two years ago I very luckily ‘lucked out’.
A long run of ‘lucking out’

After righting the ship from a listless start, the Kootenay Ice gave up three goals in the final period to lose a 4-1 decision to the Calgary Hitmen at the Saddledome on Mon-day night.
Hitmen rookie Cal Babych and veteran Greg Chase led the way with a goal and an as-sist, while Calgary of-fence also came from Brady Brassart and Pavel Padakin. Koote-nay’s lone goal came from Jaedon Deschene-au, who scored his team-leading 26th marker of the season.
Mackenzie Skapski
was hung out to dry, turning away 40 shots while his team put 28 pucks on Hitmen net-minder Mack Shields.
“He [Skapski] played well, way too many shots,” said Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson. “He kept us in the game and gave us a chance in those first two periods to come out with some points and eventually, it caught up to us.”
Descheneau’s goal was on the powerplay, which was Kootenay’s lone goal in four chanc-es with the man-advan-tage. Calgary scored twice in five opportuni-ties on the powerplay.
Brassart opened the scoring in the first peri-
od, snapping home a one-timer for Calgary’s first powerplay goal, as the Hitmen dominated for most of the frame.
Jaedon Descheneau
tied it up in the the sec-ond period, wiring a one-timer from Luke Philp on a Kootenay powerplay as the Ice turned the tables and held the edge for long stretches of play.
However, the wheels fell off in the final 20 minutes.
“In the second peri-od, I though we played extremely well, 1-1 going into the third,” said Henderson. “Then we got badly outplayed, badly outshot in the third period and we got what we deserved.”
Chase scored three minutes into the period on a wrap-around after Skaspki lost his balance in the crease.
Padakin made it a two-lead on the Hit-men’s second power-play goal five minutes later. Babych, the son of former NHLer Dave Babych, added his first career WHL goal to make it 4-1 with 4:43 remaining in the game.
The loss drops the Ice down to eight place in the Eastern Confer-ence, however, it’s a log jam with two points separating fifth from eighth.
Kootenay returns home for a few days be-fore heading up to Medicine Hat on Thursday and hosting the Swift Current Bron-cos on Friday at West-ern Financial Place.

BILL BEACONCanadian Press
MALMO, Sweden - Nothing is easy for this Canadian team at the world junior champion-ships.
Jonathan Drouin re-deemed himself after a bad penalty on his first shift by scoring the tying goal and Nic Petan re-discovered his scoring touch in time to get the game-winner and an empty-netter as Canada used a three-goal third period to down Slovakia 5-3 on Monday.
The win left Canada (2-0-1) two points be-hind the United States (3-0-0) heading into a showdown for first place in the last prelimi-nary round game for both squads on Tues-day.
They’ll need a regu-lation win to overtake the defending champi-on Americans, who eliminated Canada in the semifinals of last year’s world juniors in Ufa, Russia
“We regrouped, we found a way,” said coach Brent Suter. “In the third, I thought we dominated.
“We got a break when they hit the post after we got the lead, but the third was maybe the best period we’ve played in the tourna-ment so far.”
It was the best played and most rousing of the three games the team has played in Malmo, and it certainly brought the mostly Canadian crowd of 2,558 at the Is-stadion to their feet as Canada bounced back from penalty trouble and 3-1 second-period deficit to win.
Zach Fucale made 19 saves for the win in his first start of the tourna-ment and Sutter said the Halifax Mooseheads goalie will be in net again against the Amer-icans.
And Anthony Man-tha, the runaway scor-ing leader in the Que-bec Major Junior Hock-ey League, had a goal and three assists to give him nine points in three games.
Not bad for a big winger who was not certain to make the team out of camp three weeks ago.
“I came to camp and I wanted to make my place, and once I did that, I wanted to show I could play great hockey over here and that’s what I’m doing now,” the Detroit Red Wings prospect said.
“Anthony was huge,” added Sutter.
Curtis Lazar also scored for Canada.
David Griger, with two, and Martin Reway
scored for Slovakia (1-2-0), which can clinch third place with a win Tuesday over the Czech Republic.
Drouin tied the game at 14:02 of the third pe-riod after Mantha beat 16-year-old Erik Cernak behind the Slovak goal and fed it in front.
Canada was on a power play when Petan walked out from the right side and threaded a goal through traffic.
Canada had to battle back from a 3-1 sec-ond-period deficit against a Slovak side playing a tight trap and leaning on the power play with the highly skilled unit of Reway, Griger and Milan Kole-
na for goals.For the third straight
game Canada gave up the first goal, this time after Drouin got a minor and a misconduct for a hit to the head only 10 seconds in. Griger took Jakub Predajniansky’s shot off the end boards and scored into an open side past Fucale.
Drouin did not see the ice again until Cana-da’s power play at 16:49, but it was Lazar who scored on a one-timer of Mantha’s pass after extended pressure in the Slovak zone at 18:20.
The crowd howled at what they felt was Slo-vak diving that led to a pair of two-man advan-tages, both of which
produced goals in the second frame.
The first saw Reway score his fourth of the tournament with a quick shot from a Kole-na feed, and then Griger get his second of the game into an open side from Reway’s pass.
Canada got one back before the third period as Mantha camped on the doorstep and banged in an Aaron Ek-blad rebound at 17:00.
Notes: Forward Charles Hudon was helped off with what looked like a shoulder problem 13 seconds into the third period after a hit into the end boards, but returned later in the period.

Kootenay suffers third-period collapse as Calgary scores three unanswered goals
Dynamiters edge out Thunder Cats
for 4-3 winTRE VOR CR AWLEY
Sports Editor
The Nitros finished off their three games in three nights with a 4-3 win over their divisional leaders in the Creston Valley Thunder Cats on Monday night.
Goaltender Tyson Brouwer was the hero for his team, making a mon-ster 43 saves in goal, while a trio of goals in the second period set the Ni-tros on the road to victo-ry.
The win now closes the gap to a manageable three points between Kimberley and Creston Valley, however the Thunder Cats have five games in hand.
The two teams traded
goals in the first period, as Bryce Perpelitz tallied first on the powerplay, before Carson Cartwright answered back later in the frame.
Kimberley’s offensive spark ignited in the mid-dle period, as Tyson Klingspohn and Dallin Wolf scored five minutes apart.
Maverick Lynes put Creston back on the board in the second half of the frame, but Matt Barzilay scored soon after to make it a two-goal lead for Kimberley.
Brandon Formosa scored the lone goal in the final 20 minutes, however, the Nitros stayed alive on sharp goaltending from Brou-wer, who faced 23 shots in the third period.
Perpelitz’s powerplay goal was the only one in four chances with the man-advantage for Kim-berley. Creston was de-nied on all five of their powerplay opportuni-ties.

ASSOCIATED PRESSASHBURN, Va. - Mike
Shanahan’s plan to re-store order, profession-alism and consistent success to the Washing-ton Redskins disinte-grated quickly in 2013, costing him his job Monday a day after the team finished a 3-13 season.
Shanahan was fired after a morning meeting with owner Dan Snyder and general manager Bruce Allen at Redskins Park, a formality expect-ed for several weeks as the losses mounted and tension rose among Shanahan, Snyder and franchise player Robert Griffin III. A news con-ference was expected later Monday.
Shanahan went 24-40 in four seasons in Wash-ington and had one year remaining on his five-year, $35 million con-tract. Snyder will now be seeking his eighth head coach for his 16th sea-son as an NFL owner - a span that includes just four winning seasons, two playoff victories and
seven last-place finishes in the NFC East.
Shanahan captured Super Bowls titles with quarterback John Elway and the Denver Broncos after the 1997 and 1998 seasons, but he won only one playoff game over his final 10 years with the club and was fired after the 2008 sea-son.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might not want your pri-orities to change, but a situ-ation will force you to adjust them. Anger could dress up as sarcasm. Be aware of that fact, whether you are on the receiving or giving end. Follow your instincts. Tonight: Others depend on you leading the cel-ebrations. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll relax as you take a look at the big picture. You could be overserious and not realize it. A quarrel could ensue if someone tries to lighten you up. In any case, avoid angry moments, and curb sarcasm. Tonight: Surround the New Year with great music. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be very social, but a loved one will manage to rein you in. You might be quite an-gry at this person’s actions, but try not to show your distaste. Trust that you are communicat-ing your feelings nonverbally. Tonight: A problem could ensue around plans.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You finally will relax enough to enjoy others, especially a close friend or loved one. This person’s tone might be hard to hear, but behind his or her words and attitude are feelings. Remember to think before you speak. Tonight: Unexpected de-velopments. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to understand where someone is coming from. Your ability to look past the ob-vious will emerge. You might be angry at someone without this person knowing why. He or she might not be on the same level as you. Tonight: Live for the mo-ment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your creativity emerges with someone’s sarcasm. You might decide to play dumb in order to defuse the moment. Be care-ful, as you put this person on a pedestal. Unexpected develop-ments could encourage you to hit the “pause” button. Tonight: In the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be more anchored than usual,
if possible. You could fly off the handle out of the blue and cause quite a scene with some-one. When you want to make peace, the other person might be too offended to forgive you. Give him or her some time to cool down. Tonight: At home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) If you have been suppressing hurt, which has evolved to anger, you might be more sur-prised than others at the rage in your voice. Seize the moment for an important discussion. Make expressing yourself one of your resolutions. Tonight: Make peace, not war. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to treat a friend or loved one to lunch, only to get attitude from out of the blue. It is possible that you could be the recipient of some-one else’s anger or sarcasm, too. Give others the space to be moody. Meanwhile, go on your merry way. Tonight: Where the action is. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Deep thinking might be ap-propriate for the new year.
Avoid getting into a tit-for-tat situation at all costs. You neither need nor really want the petti-ness. Expect the unexpected, especially around your home and family. Tonight: Christen the new year in style. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take your time thinking through a decision. You might not appreciate some of the opinions that are being offered. Keep seeking out the right solu-tion, yet try to detach and take in a bigger view. Tonight: Make it a private celebration. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Focus on the long term and on your desires. Making appropri-ate resolutions fits the moment. An angry partner could offend one of your close friends or family members. Use special caution with your finances. To-night: Wherever you are, there is a great party going on. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter John Denver (1943), actor Anthony Hopkins (1937), artist Henri Matisse (1869)
Dear Annie: Three months ago, I attended the funeral of a friend and former co-work-er, “Renee.” I went in, signed the book, gave my condolences to her husband and was speaking to some friends. At that point, an-other co-worker came up to me and said I should sit in the back of the mortuary be-cause Renee wouldn’t want me there. I was stunned. Shortly after, Renee’s daughter-in-law approached me and said, “Thank you for coming and being a friend to Renee.” Of course, by then I was crying and decided to leave. When I spoke with another friend later, she told me she thought Renee was jealous of me. I cannot understand why. Renee had a lovely family, a wonderful husband and a new home. I know that many times when I enter a room, most people don’t really welcome me. I am tolerated by those with whom I have worked, and even my friends are like this. I have learned to accept it. But this funeral still upsets me. Should they have called me the day before and told me not to come? By the way, I still have not received a thank you for the memorial I gave to the family. -- Stunned in Nebraska Dear Stunned: We’re not sure what hap-pened at the funeral. One person made you feel unwelcome, but the daughter-in-law thanked you for coming. While we can understand your discomfort, you seem to value one person’s opinion over the rest. However, there is another issue here. You claim that most people merely tolerate your presence. Why would you think that? Are you behaving in a way that attracts neg-ative attention? Is it possible you are over-sensitive and misread others’ reactions? Please talk to those friends you trust and ask for their honest opinion about you. No one should go through life believing they are not worth liking. Figure it out and then work on changing it. If you need to seek therapy to accomplish this, please do so. Dear Annie: I am a breast cancer survivor and want to donate my hair. My hairdresser told me that while dyed hair is OK, totally bleached-out hair is not. Also, my hair is more than 5 percent gray, so Locks of Love won’t use it. Do you know of any organiza-tion that will? -- Anita Dear Anita: We have good news. Accord-ing to Pantene Beautiful Lengths (pantene.com/beautifullengths), it takes at least eight to 15 ponytails to make a wig. For a realistic-looking wig with consistent col-or, all of these ponytails must be dyed the same shade, but gray hair, as well as some chemically treated or permanently colored hair, does not absorb dye at the same rate as other types. However, some gray hair is usable. Try the World of Wigs Corinne Fund at worldofwigs.com. Also, Locks of Love (locksoflove.org) now accepts gray hair donations, as does Wigs for Kids (wigs-forkids.org), both of which use the hair to offset costs. Dear Annie: I hope it’s not too late to re-ply to “Uncomfortable Daughter-in-Law,” whose mother-in-law wants to be called “Mom.” The writer should explain that she has a very special relationship with her own mother and wouldn’t want to call her mother-in-law by the same name. How-ever, it is important that she have a name just for her, to recognize how special she is. Perhaps it could be “Mama Smith” or “Mama S.” or some other term of endear-ment that means something to the two of them. Because of numerous grandparents, my daughter-in-law devised the name “Cookie Grandma” to distinguish me from the other grandmas in her children’s lives. (A cook-ie is one of my favorite desserts.) It works, and it is a sweet and respectful way of deal-ing with this. -- Arcadia, Calif. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SERVICES GUIDEContact these business for all your service needs!
There was a point when it looked like the mass demonstra-tions in Ukraine that began in late November were heading in the same direction as in Thailand in 2013. The protests were original-ly against President Viktor Yanu-kovich’s refusal to sign an associ-ation agreement with the Euro-pean Union, which was legiti-mate – and they did deter the president (who was under severe pressure from Moscow) from joining a Russian-led customs union instead.
So far, so good – but the oppo-sition leaders have also been playing with the idea of using the demonstrations in Kiev as a way of forcing the elected president out of power. That has been done once before, in 2005, when the extra-constitutional action was justified by a rigged election, but there is no such justification this time – and it is unwise to make a habit of changing governments this way in a country that is so evenly divided between the pro-Moscow, Russian-speaking east and the pro-EU, Ukrainian-speaking west.
The outcome is unclear in both Thailand and Ukraine, but non-violence can now also work for the Dark Side.
Meanwhile, in Africa, wars have exploded across the conti-nent this year like a string of fire-crackers. In January, France sent troops to Mali after Islamist reb-els who had already captured the sparsely populated north of the country threatened to overrun the rest of it as well. The north was more or less reconquered by mid-year, but the situation re-mains highly fraught.
In March Muslim rebels cap-
tured Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic. Their leaders quickly lost control, and the rebel troops began to massa-cre Christians. Christian militias then began carrying out mass re-prisals against the Muslim civil-ian minority, and thousands, per-haps tens of thousands, were dead before French troops ar-rived in December. A kind of peace has now descended on the capital, but elsewhere, who knows?
And in December a full-scale civil war suddenly broke out in South Sudan between the coun-try’s two biggest ethnic groups, the Dinka and the Nuer. Pogroms have emptied Nuer districts in the capital, and there are tank battles near the oil-fields as the army splits on Dinka-Nuer lines. The African Union is stripping troops from its other peacekeep-ing missions to strengthen its force in South Sudan, but this war could end up with killing on a Rwandan scale.
The African continent is em-phatically NOT at war, but the band of territory between the equator and about 15 degrees North is in very deep trouble. You can’t just blame all these wars on the fact that the dividing line be-tween Muslims to the north and Christians to the south generally runs through this territory. Mali, after all, is almost entirely Mus-lim, and South Sudan contains very few Muslims. Maybe it’s just that these countries are all among the poorest in Africa, and the tra-ditional social networks are col-lapsing under the strain.
The good news is that there are no major wars anywhere else in the world – except Syria, of course. But there are already 120,000 dead in Syria, and more than a quarter of the population is living as refugees either inside Syria or in the neighbouring countries. Siege warfare condi-tions prevail across much of the country, now a patchwork quilt of government- and opposi-tion-controlled areas.
The United States went to the brink of bombing the regime’s key centres after poison gas was used in Damascus in August, but it managed to avoid war after the Russians persuaded Bashar al-Assad to surrender all his chem-ical weapons. And by now there is nobody left for the United States to back in the Syrian war even if it wanted to, because the larger rebel groups are rapidly falling under the influence of extreme Islamist organisations including al-Qaeda.
As evidence of how little Washington wants to be drawn back into the Syrian mess, there is now an attempt underway to de-fuse the 34-year-old US-Iranian
confrontation by negotiating a deal on Iran’s nuclear pro-gramme. Meanwhile, if Iran wants to go on supporting the Syrian regime with arms and money, Washington will not ob-ject very loudly.
So the war can go on indefin-itely, and it has become a proxy Sunni-Shia war. The arms pour in from Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia to the rebel groups, and from Iran and Iraq to the Syrian regime, because the former are all Sunni Muslims and the latter are all Shia Muslims. (Assad’s re-gime is drawn mainly from the 10-percent Alawite minority in Syria, which observes a deviant form of Shia Islam.)
And the risk grows that all this Sunni-Shia hostility could morph into something like Europe’s 16th-century wars of religion, with Sunni or Shia minorities re-belling in Arab countries like Iraq, Lebanon, or Saudi Arabia.
What else? Oh, yes, a list. Right, then. Iran sent a monkey into space in January, North Korea carried out its third under-ground nuclear test in February, and the Catholic Church got a new head when Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina be-came Pope Francis I in March.
The United States also fell off the “fiscal cliff” in March, but nobody was hurt. Xi Jinping took over as President of the People’s Republic of China for the next ten years (no election required), and “Curiosity”, the Mars rover, found evidence for running water in an-cient times on the red planet. It was a busy month.
In April, Nicolas Maduro was narrowly elected president of Venezuela a month after Hugo Chavez’s death. In May, Silvio Berlusconi, three times prime minister of Italy, was sentenced to four years in prison for fraud. In June, Russia’s President Vladi-mir Putin announced his divorce.
In July, Croatia joined the European Union. In August, Rob-ert Mugabe won his seventh term as president of Zimbabwe at the age of 89. And in September Japan, emotionally shaken by the Fukushima incident, switched off the last of its fifty nuclear react-ors. (This means the Japanese will be burning far more coal to keep the lights on, and so they have cut their target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 from 25 percent to only 3.8 percent. But they probably feel better about it, so that’s all right.)
In October, New Zealand an-nounced the official Maori-lan-guage alternative names for North Island (Te Ika-a-Maui) and South Island (Te Waipounamu). In November, Typhoon Haiyan, possibly the largest tropical storm to make landfall in recorded hist-ory, devastated the central Philip-pines. And in December, the Chi-nese spacecraft Chang’e landed the Jade Rabbit rover on the Moon. It was the first soft landing on the Moon since 1976. So you see, there IS progress.

Hi Wendy:I was wondering if
you and your guides could answer a few questions for me.
Can you tell me when my home will sell? Is it wise to go back to my
hometown after I sell my home? Will I eventually meet a nice man I can share my life with? Will I be monetarily secure in the future? Will I be liv-ing in the area I current-ly am in and be able to
keep my animals? Hopeful For
the Future
Dear Hopeful For the Future:
Toward the end of 2014 your home will sell.
Emotionally and mon-etarily it would not be wise to go back to your hometown after you sell your house. You know that intuitively inside of yourself.
In 2014 you will meet a man — he has medium brown hair; his height is about five feet seven inches. He kind of has a big nose for his face.
We feel you may not be a good match with this man. We feel he drinks a bit too much and is a verbal abuser.
You will be fine mon-etarily in the future but you must watch your
money in order to live comfortably. Yes, you will be living not in the area you are now located but around the area you are now located. You will be able to keep your ani-mals, so don’t fret.
Your learning lesson is to stop taking life so seriously. You need to lighten up a bit. You have anxiety; take the Bach Rescue Remedy on
a daily basis. You need to do
things that you enjoy and stop obsessing about the negatives in your life. This means you need to get a differ-ent attitude about your
surroundings and cir-cumstances at this time. This means try to do things that give you some modicum of plea-sure and tranquillity.
Try looking at what you have to be grateful for when you get up each morning. This may help you become more positive. You may not want to do this but you need to push through
this negative energy that is surrounding you at this time. This will then change the molecular structure around your energy field.
Things will then start to happen more to the positive instead of the negative.
What happens is when you obsess over the difficulties in your life the energy becomes stagnant; nothing moves or happens around you. This results in delays of what you want to hap-pen in your life.
Hope this helps.
Wendy

C anadian PressROSSLAND, B.C. —
A group of 10 skiers from Washington state who inadvertently ven-tured into British Co-lumbia’s backcountry kept themselves warm by starting a fire and huddling together until help arrived, the RCMP said.
The skiers were at Red Mountain Resort,
near Rossland in the West Kootenay, on Sun-day when they set off to explore a new area of Grey Mountain, said Cpl. Dave Johnson. They were reported missing by family mem-bers when they did not return as expected.
Johnson said the ski-ers, who ranged in age, did not intend to ski the backcountry and, con-
sequently, weren’t pre-pared for a night on a cold mountain.
Nonetheless, he said the skiers made smart decisions that kept them safe until they were lo-cated, unharmed, by a search-and-rescue team early Monday morning, said Johnson.
“It was a navigational error, not intending to ski the backcountry,’’ Johnson said in an in-terview.
“They made some right decisions: staying together, starting a fire and waiting for search-and-rescue to come find them. They were pre-pared in that sense, but they were in-bound ski-ers.’’
Johnson said a heli-copter headed to the
scene at first light on Monday and by mid-morning had al-ready completed its first trip ferrying the skiers to safety. He said it would take several more trips throughout the day to retrieve all of the skiers and rescuers.
At least one person in the group is familiar with the area and has a residence at the resort. That person was de-scribed by police as an advanced skier.
Red Mountain Resort is a 1,700-hectare site that is spread over three mountains.
The resort has 110 marked runs but also promises easy access to backcountry areas, ac-cording to the Red Mountain website.
