After years of wait-ing, Cranbrook’s hospi-tal will finally get a new Intensive Care Unit (ICU), says Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett.

The $20 million project was included in the health care compo-nent of this week’s B.C. budget.

“The budget includ-ed reference to money for ‘projects at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital’. This means we will get funding for the new ICU – details will be announced at later date,” Bennett said Tuesday.

The announcement was met with excite-ment by Kootenay East Regional Hospital Dis-trict board chair John Kettle.

“That is absolutely awesome. I’ve been carrying that cross on my shoulders for the last three years. It’s something we’ve fought for very hard,” said Ket-tle.

The budget does not spell out exactly how much funding is head-ing this way, Bennett said.

“The first and most important step in mov-ing this critical regional

health care project for-ward is now behind us, that of ensuring the project is in the prov-ince’s fiscal plan. Now, we will determine the details of the project: total cost, number of beds and design.”

Renovations to the four-bed ICU will in-clude mandatory up-grades to the electrical system throughout the hospital to bring it up to the latest CSA stan-dards, Interior Health’s director of business support Todd Mastel said earlier this month. The health authority told the Ministry of Health the total cost would be $19.9 million.

Two clover traps being used to cull urban deer in Cranbrook were vandalized on Tuesday, February 19.

According to a statement from the City of Cranbrook,

the RCMP are actively investi-gating the vandalism, which happened overnight February 19.

“The traps are the property of the Ministry of Forest, Land and Natural Resource Opera-tions,” the City’s statement

reads.Last Thursday, the city an-

nounced that it is culling up to 30 mule deer this winter in its second round of urban deer population control.

The B.C. Deer Protection Coalition has spoken out

against the cull and held a protest in Cranbrook on Sun-day.

However, Mayor Wayne Stetski said Monday that council has heard from resi-dents both in favour of and opposed to the cull.

Barry CoulterThose seeking better

lives in warm and wel-coming communities will do no better than Cranbrook and Kimber-ley, thanks to some gov-ernment funding and an intense initiative by a local organization.

The B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Responsi-ble for Labour, Citizen-ship and Immigration Canada this week an-nounced funding to en-hance the integration of immigrants into B.C. Communities — part of the Ministry’s Welcom-ing Communities Pro-gram (WCP).

The WelcomeBC funding — $8.5 million for 51 new community projects — supports the creation of local projects and partnerships to make communities more inclusive and wel-coming.

Locally, the Colum-bia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) re-ceived $107,000 to help achieve this goal in Cranbrook. Kimberley received a further

$80,000 on top of that.“As immigrants come

into the community, we will provide the services (to help them settle and acclimatize),” said Kath-erine Hough, CBAL Community Literacy Coordinator for Cran-brook.

CBAL moved quickly to establish a broad team of partnerships in Cranbrook and Kimber-ley and to set up projects to help improve access and services, recruit and train volunteers, and bring local businesses and other organizations on board.

“We pulled together some community focus meetings in January,” Hough said. “Part of (our initiative) is helping newcomers, but also, we asked how do we make our communities more welcoming?”

CBAL therefore has put together a series of partnerships with com-munity groups and busi-nesses, and have several new projects in the works.

• For instance, CBAL Big Brothers and Big Sis-

ters will create a Family Mentoring program, in which volunteer families will be trained to assist newcomers, and then paired with an immi-grant family for four to six months. “They will then befriend that

family, show them around, introduce them to what living here is all about,” Hough said.

• Production of a video is also planned, which details the immi-grant experience in the area. This video will then be shown available to immigrant families and local residents to further mutual under-standing.

• Another project is to educate local businesses — not necessarily to hire immigrants, Hough said, but simply to make them more welcome. Hough said the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce, on board as a partner, will be conducting these employer workshops in

Kimberley and Cran-brook.

• The Cranbrook Food Action Group will be offering a gardening

acy and lifelong learning throughout the Colum-bia Basin and Boundary regions.

The purpose of the Welcoming Communi-ties Program is to build

capacity to support the integration of new im-migrants. A press release from the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training said a commu-nity’s ability to receive

immigrants is a critical factor in successful inte-gration, which is integral to addressing B.C.’s la-bour market and demo-graphic challenges over the next decade.

CBAL puts out the welcome mat for newcomers

But even if the hospi-tal doesn’t receive that full amount, it’s great news, said John Kettle.

“Any monies that are coming to the hospital for an upgrade of our ICU is a win for our tax-payers,” he said. “My sincere thanks to our board and particularly to Bill Bennett for fight-ing so hard for us.”

Bennett said he has been working to get funding for the ICU for at least the past four years.

“(Hospital chief) Dr (Lawrence) Jewett and I have had many discus-sions.

“I played a pivotal role in securing this project being included in the fiscal plan. It was very tough with virtual-ly no money available,” said Bennett.

The ICU renovation is one of the three large

projects Cranbrook has been hoping to receive provincial funding for. The other two are a homeless shelter, and a replacement of Mount Baker Secondary

School.Cranbrook Mayor

Wayne Stetski said it’s exciting to tick one of those items off the list.

“This is great news for Cranbrook and I’m

glad our MLA was able to get it on the list. I think that’s wonderful.

“It’s very much needed for everybody who lives in the East Kootenay.”

New ICU gets green light

Cranbrook, Kimberley get $187,000 to create more welcoming, inclusive communities for newcomers

project, which will teach Canadian gardening techniques to newcom-ers, who may be coming here from radically dif-ferent biological and cli-matic zones. Local resi-dents will be welcome to attend

these sessions as well.

• A program will be set up to help daycares better accommodate immigrant kids and their families, Hough said. “Maybe (the new-comers) don’t speak En-glish very well, maybe they don’t really know how daycare works.”

• The Cranbrook Boys & Girls Club has also come on board to do mentoring with im-migrant families.

CBAL has set the projects in motion over a very short time window. “We pulled this together over the last few months,” Hough said. The focus groups were held in January, and the groundwork for the proj-ects is to be in place by the end of March.

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is a not-for-prof-it organization formed in 2001 to promote liter-

Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality held its first council meeting in Radium on Tuesday, January 19. Between 150 and 200 people attended a rally organized by Wildsight outside the council chambers.

CAROLYN GRANTDaily Bulletin

The City of Kimberley has issued a brief press release announcing that

Chief Administrative Of-ficer Al Mulholland is no longer in the employ of the city.

The press release

states:“The city writes this

communication to ad-vise that Mr. Al Mulhol-land is no longer em-

ployed with the city.” “We thank him for his

service to the city and wish him well in his fu-ture endeavors,” said

Mayor Ron McRae.The city is searching

for a new Chief Adminis-trative Officer (CAO) and in the meantime, Chief Financial Officer Holly Ronnquist will fill the role as acting CAO.

The city expects to find a permanent re-placement within three or four months.

Mulholland arrived in Kimberley in April of 2010 during the admin-istration of former Mayor Jim Ogilvie.

He came to Kimber-ley from the Sunshine Coast where he spent 10 years as executive direc-tor of Community Fu-tures of the Sunshine Coast.

Prior to that, Mulhol-land spent many years in executive management positions, including as Deputy Minister in the Government of Sas-katchewan from 1976 to 1986.

City of Kimberley parts ways with CAO

An article in the Wednesday, February 20 issue of the Towns-man misquoted Mayor Wayne Stetski. At the Monday, February 18 meeting of council, Mayor Stetski actually said, “We and all of the municipalities in British Columbia can only do what the province per-mits us to do.” We apolo-gize for the mistake.

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

Donald Brinkley couldn’t believe it. The Rice Uni-

versity professor of history was sifting through the massive archives of folklorist Alan Lomax, held at the American Folklife Center in Washington. Rice was trying to find some background infor-mation on singer/songwriter Woody Guth-rie for an upcoming book, and Lomax had collected all kinds of historic information on Guthrie before his death in 1967.

And then he saw it. In fact he almost missed it. As he

skimmed through Lomax’s papers on Guthrie, he found a brief reference to a novel called ‘House of Earth.’ Lomax wrote he had become extremely excited after reading the first chapter, and offered to do anything he could to help Guthrie publish it. This letter was dated 1947.

As far as Brinkley knew, Guthrie had never written a novel. But apparently he had, and for whatever reason, it had never been published. What happened to it?

Brinkley stopped his research and im-mediately placed a call to the Woody Guth-rie Archives in New York, and was patched in to Nora Guthrie, Woody’s daughter. No, she had never heard of her father writing a novel, but she would gladly search for it.

Regrettably, Nora was unable to find a copy of her father’s novel. She was about to break the news to Brinkley when he contacted her. He had found a copy of the novel tucked away in a library at the University of Tulsa. It appeared Guthrie had sent a copy of ‘House of Earth’ to

filmmaker Irving Lerner, in hopes Lerner would turn it into a film. The film was never made, and Lerner’s papers were sent to Tulsa after his death in 1976.

As Brinkley was arranging to have this copy sent to Nora, she called him to say she had finally found the original book amongst her father’s papers. She also wanted to know if Brinkley knew of an ap-propriate publisher for the book — one which would be respectful of her father’s work.

Brinkley did.In a moment of great synchronicity,

Johnny Depp was forming his own pub-lishing imprint with Harper Collins, and he was searching for a novel which would perfectly reflect his philosophy of esthetics and literature. ‘House of Earth’ appeared to be written exactly to launch Depp’s pub-lishing house.

‘House of Earth’ — Woody Guthrie’s long lost novel — hits the shelves next

week. It tells the story of a husband and wife struggling to survive the dust storms and unrelenting poverty of Texas in the 1930s. An original painting by Guthrie adorns the book’s dust jacket.

It should be noted that before he be-came a famed actor, Depp was an aspiring guitar player, and Guthrie was one of his inspirations.

“In a way,” Nora Guthrie said, extremely pleased with the care Depp took with her father’s novel, “he’s just like my dad.” (This one’s for Karin).

Long before birth, the baby builds the roots of his health based on his par-ents’ genetic legacy and from his

reactions to all the influences met during pregnancy.

These two factors are the foundation of his future. According to researchers in obstetrics and perinatal care such as Dr. Michel Odent, Pr. Jean-Pierre Relier and Bruce Lipton, prenatal life is truly the time to educate the child. After birth, education will only put more or less in motion what is already developed in the womb.

Discovered by Andrew Taylor Still in Missouri in 1874, osteopathy is a complete functional manual medicine that also spe-cializes in the care of children, pregnant women and parents.

The assessment and care are made by a superficial and deep manual palpation of tensions sought by the hands of the osteo-path.

Osteopathy uses five main techniques to meet the needs of the body:

1. Osteo-articular to release compres-sion in the joints (this technique has led to chiropraxy);

2. Myo-fascial to help release the mus-cles and their envelopes (the fascia);

3. Visceral to release chemical or me-chanical damage to organs;

4. Cranio-sacral to release the nervous and hormonal systems;

5. Bio-dynamic to revitalize weakened or degenerated tissues.

Osteopathy can help start or strength-en contractions during childbirth, reposi-tion the baby, release the newborn torti-

collis, regurgitation, restlessness, digestive disorders, insomnia, give lactation sup-port and postpartum care. It is specifically designed to remove, transform or release imprints of stress, starting with the parents before conception; clearing the way for the future child.

Osteopathy is also useful to prevent the transfer of daily stress from the mother to the unborn baby.

Viola Fryman, Doctor in Osteopathy, has built a renowned Institute in Califor-nia where she has demonstrated the effi-ciency of this practice on pregnant women and on babies at an early age, when im-portant negative prenatal imprints can still be removed. In osteopathy these stress points are called ‘strains’ and are very pal-pable for the osteopath. They result from various mechanical pressures done on the womb through the diaphragm of the mother under stress, or a high dosage of adrenaline which tightens the tissues of both mother and baby.

Whether it be an intense stress inflicted by surprise and in isolation, or a repeated but untreated stress of lower intensity, these factors will deeply imprint the tis-sues of the unborn child. At each step of his development, the child matures in a specific part of his system. An adult whose tissues have been under stress before birth, will have more difficulty to face the

challenges of life because of weaker body systems.

When babies are treated by an osteo-path within three months after their birth, more than 60 per cent of the peri-natal strain can be removed. And treat-ing the pregnant women can even re-

move over 80 per cent of the prenatal pathological imprints on the baby. And if future parents are treated before concep-tion, a high amount of their own prenatal strain will be released. This gives a much healthier genetic legacy to the child!

Ideal Family is a charitable organiza-tion located in Jaffray, B.C. where two os-teopathic practitioners specialize in peri-natal care. With the help of other practi-tioners in adjacent fields, they give work-shops and activities to increase the health of couples, pregnant mothers and babies.

Every third Sunday of the month, fami-lies are welcomed in Jaffray to benefit from this unique opportunity (by donation).

Osteopathic sessions are available in Fernie, Cranbrook, Invermere, Creston and Nelson. For more information, please call 250-429-3332.

A safe approach for a healthy baby

maddie WallaceComing this spring, Mount

Baker Senior Secondary will be performing “Fiddler on the Roof,” May 9-12.

The classic story of Tevye, a poor Jewish milkman who struggles with the choice of fol-lowing tradition, or allowing his five daughters to find love on their own is one full of

laughs, romance, heartbreak, and enlightenment.

Since January the cast and crew have been hard at work putting together a show that will truly inspire.

Directed by Mary Hamilton, Angus Liedtke (as Tevye), Bri-anna Kennedy, Joelle Winkel, Carter Gulseth, Danica Martin, Ben Smith, Lois Winkel, and

Justice Jones lead a gifted cast of students Grades 10-12.

The equally talented crew includes Scott Martin as the Musical Director, Jacqueline Morrow and David Popoff as the choreographers, and Paul Kershaw as set designer.

The show will be held at Key City Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on May 9-11 and 2 p.m. on May 12.

Tickets will be $15 for adults and $12 for students and se-niors.

This musical masterpiece is sure to transport you to a time when love was nonsense and tradition was everything. Be sure to get tickets now to avoid missing out on such a phe-nomenal Mount Baker produc-tion.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Cranbrook is a long way from home for Jon Martin, but heading into Brandon for a pair of games was close enough for the Manitoban, who hails from Winnipeg.

“It was great,” said Martin. “Got to see a lot of the family and cousins so it was really good to have that support out there.”

Martin had a banner night on Saturday in front of his almost-home crowd, with friends and family in attendance, scoring twice, including the game winner in over-time that put the Koote-nay Ice 4-3 over the Wheat Kings.

“I felt pretty good out there,” said Martin. “Just kept moving my feet and doing the simple things and it all paid out so it was good.”

His performance, plus his size and physical style of play, earned him a spot alongside Sam Re-inhart and Jaedon De-scheneau against the Swift Current Broncos on Monday.

“Definitely it’s a lot different, playing with them,” said Martin, who

has spent most of the season playing with Zach McPhee and Austin Vet-terl. “It’s going to take some getting used to and if I do end up staying on that line, I’ll have to get used to them in practice and start building up some chemistry with them.”

Kletzel noted that the Broncos are big up front, and the Kootenay coach-es wanted to add some size to complement the duo of Reinhart and De-scheneau.

“Swift Current has a bigger, physical team and I think we wanted to make sure that we have had a presence on each line and I think that’s where you’ve seen him join those two,” said Klet-zel. “In the game before that, he had a good game, so he gets an opportunity to play with Reinhart and Descheneau and anoth-er chance to see some different lines and how they play together for the future.”

Descheneau ended up going on a tear on the score sheet and posted his first career WHL hat trick.

The final goal came on an empty net play

while Swift Current was making an attempt at a late comeback.

“I didn’t think I was going to get it, because Philper had it at the start of the play and it got blocked,” said Deschene-au. “It was an unselfish play by Cable in giving it to me there and so it felt

good.”With a 5-2 win over

the Broncos, the Ice leapfrogged ahead of the Lethbridge Hurri-canes and into eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Considering their road record in the first half of the season, the Ice have certainly turned things around in the lat-ter half, with eight wins in 14 road games.

“I think, especially on the road, you need every guy to be ready to go from the start of the

game. I think we had some success, especially in Swift Current, we had that right off the bat,” said Kletzel. “We played a really complete game in Swift Current and had those guys doing the things they need to do.”

“When we were in Brandon, we were a little inconsistent with that. We had periods where we started well as a group, but we didn’t put the game together like we did in Swift Current.”

The Ice were hoping to add another player to the bus during the trip by picking up Troy Mur-ray, their first-round draft selection in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft last year, however, the young defenceman was recovering from an inju-ry.

Murray, the younger brother of Everett Silver-tips star defenceman Ryan Murray, could have possibly seen some ice time, however, the intent was to introduce him to the Kootenay Ice’s atmosphere and culture, said Kletzel.

“I think it’s good to get him with the culture of the team, to kind of see what it’s like to be on

the road and what that looks like and how you have to prepare,” said Kletzel. “Guys like Joey Leach, you want him to learn from a guy like that, to have some expe-rience with him, with how Joey’s done a really good job with other guys that he’s played with.”

Now that the team has a hold on a playoff spot, the challenge be-comes staying in the race. The Hurricanes are only one point behind, however, the Regina Pats and Moose Jaw Warriors trail by 10.

Both teams have 12 games remaining in the season, but Kootenay has four more victories in the win column. The ‘Canes are close in points because they picked up a bunch due to nine games that were lost in either overtime or a shootout.

“We just gotta keep doing what we’ve been doing since the [Christ-mas] break,” said De-scheneau. “We were way out of the playoffs after the break, but now we’re back in and we gotta keep going, proceed for-ward and try to get into a higher position.”

Kootenay returns with four out of six points after three games against East Division teams

C ANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK - Van-couver Canucks for-ward Jannik Hansen has been suspended one game for a hit to the head on Chicago Black-hawks forward Marian Hossa.

Hansen struck Hossa in the back of the head with his forearm during the third period of the Blackhawks’ 4-3 win Tuesday.

Hossa was reaching for a puck in the air as Hansen, who had also reached for the puck, closed his glove and de-livered the hit.

The injury knocked Hossa out of the game after he had already scored two goals. There is still no timeline for his return.

Hansen, who was as-

sessed a minor penalty for roughing after the hit, will forfeit US$7,297.30 and will miss the Canucks’ game in Dallas on Thursday. Hansen has three goals and four assists in 15 games.

The Blackhawks will be left to hope Hossa, who has eight goals and six assists in 16 games this season, isn’t gone for long after suffering his second head injury in less than a year. Hossa was knocked out of the playoffs with a concussion in April 2011 after a hit from be-hind from Phoenix for-ward Raffi Torres.

Torres was suspend-ed 25 games for the in-cident, although that penalty was later changed to 21 games.

Homan shows her Scotties debut is no flukeGreGory StronG

Canadian Press

KINGSTON, Ont. - Ontario skip Rachel Homan admits she didn’t think she was ca-pable of winning the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in her debut ap-pearance in 2011.

She made the playoffs that year in Charlotte-town but lost the bronze-medal game. Homan’s mindset has changed now that she has returned to the na-tional women’s curling championship.

She feels she belongs in the mix with the elite rinks and has what it takes to play for the title on Sunday.

“I think we’re just as good as any team here now,” Homan said. “I think we’re ready and I think we’ve shown that this season as well.”

The 23-year-old skip from the Ottawa Curling Club is backing up her words. The momentum from a strong campaign has carried over to the nationals, where Homan improved to 7-0 on Wednesday after an 8-2 rout of Saskatchewan’s Jill Shumay.

“She’s a superstar and she will be a superstar,” said Nova Scotia vice-skip Colleen Jones. “She’s so intense, so driv-en, so good, that it’s amazing.”

Homan is tied for first place with Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones, who beat Heather Nedohin 8-5 to knock the Team Canada skip from the unbeaten ranks.

Homan’s teammates are also in their mid-20’s but they have been to-gether for 12 years. She feels they’re prepared to

take the next step.“Honestly, it’s experi-

ence,” she said. “You can’t fast-track that.”

Her rink won the na-tional junior title in 2010 and took the silver at the world junior champion-ships that year. The On-tario team sits third in the Canadian Team Ranking System this sea-son.

Homan’s side is ag-gressive but steady on the ice and the mileage from the last few seasons is evident. They appear to have that look of a rink that truly belongs at the top level.

New Brunswick skip Andrea Crawford said Homan exudes confi-dence on the ice.

“That plays a big role in your performance,” Crawford said. “It doesn’t seem like there’s a whole lot that shakes her.”

Homan has also been buoyed by the friendly crowd at the K-Rock Centre, which is about a two-hour drive from her home club in Ottawa. She’ll get a stiff test Thursday when she meets Jones in a battle of undefeated rinks.

“I think maybe two more wins and we might be in the 1-2 (playoff) game,” Homan said of her goal for the round robin. “That’s where we’d like to be at the end of the week. It’s where we were at provincials and we like that spot.

“Hopefully we can get there at nationals, it would be amazing.”

Homan added that her squad of third Emma Miskew, second Alison Kreviazuk and lead Lisa Weagle will keep using the same strategy. So ex-pect plenty of rocks in

play and big shot at-tempts when the oppor-tunities present them-selves.

“We know each other really well,” Homan said. “We know what needs to be said and what we need on the ice and off the ice. We’re just really good friends.

“We try to make it as fun as we can out there.”

The tournament is past the midway point and teams are starting to think about potential playoff positioning. Jones and Homan are in good shape as it will like-ly take at least seven wins to be in the mix this weekend.

“It’s nice to get that seventh win and it knocks (Saskatchewan) down with another loss so there’s a little bit more separation,” Homan said.

Sabres fire Ruff, promote AHL affiliate coach John WaWroWAssociated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Ron Rolston will finish out the season as the Buffalo Sa-bres interim coach, tak-ing over hours after Lindy Ruff was fired Wednesday amid grow-ing criticism for the team’s slow start.

Rolston was in his second season as coach of AHL Rochester, the Sa-bres’ minor-league affili-ate. And he has long-ten-ured shoes to fill in re-placing Ruff, who be-came the franchise’s winningest coach over 16 seasons.

The change comes a day after the Sabres were booed off the ice during a 2-1 loss to Winnipeg, and after Ruff had finished over-seeing a 90-minute practice in preparation for Buffalo’s game at To-ronto on Thursday.

General manager Darcy Regier called the team’s lethargic perfor-

mance during the loss to the Jets as “a tipping point.” And he added that discussions to fire Ruff had begun earlier in the day.

The Sabres (6-10-1) have gone 4-10-1 since opening the season winning their first two games.

Regier went to Ruff’s home to inform the coach of the decision. He then allowed Ruff to visit with players as they boarded a bus to travel to Toronto.

Rolston was sched-uled to arrive in Buffalo on Wednesday evening and then join Regier in travelling to Toronto for his first meeting with the team. Regier said he’ll use the remainder of the season to deter-mine whether Rolston deserves taking over the job on a full-time basis.

Before being hired by the Rochester Amer-icans, Rolston spent seven seasons as coach of USA Hockey’s Na-tional Team develop-ment program. During that time, he became the first coach to lead the U.S. Under-18 team to win three gold med-als (2005, 2009, 2011).

Rolston is also famil-iar with numerous Sa-bres, including centre Cody Hodgson and for-ward Marcus Foligno. He spent the first half of this season coaching both, as they played in Rochester during the NHL lockout.

Ruff finished with a 571-432-162 record, and was also the active leader among NHL coaches with the same team.

The news of his fir-ing came as a surprise only because Sabres management, includ-ing team president Ted Black, had spent much of the past week voicing its support of Ruff. Team owner Terry Pe-gula was also regarded as a big fan of Ruff.

Pegula, however, was running out of op-tions in his bid to turn the Sabres into a Stan-ley Cup contender, an objective he made clear upon purchasing the team two years ago. Ruff ’s firing comes nearly two years to the day Pegula formally

took over as the Sabres owner on Feb. 22, 2011.

“The hockey world knows how I and the entire Buffalo Sabres organization feel about Lindy Ruff not only as a coach but also as a per-son,” Pegula said in a statement released by the team. “His qualities have made this deci-sion very difficult. I per-sonally want Lindy to know that he can con-sider me a friend al-ways.”

Ruff was becoming increasingly aware that his job was on the line. Last week, he described the Sabres struggles as being “his mess,” while adding that he wasn’t done trying to clean it up.

On Wednesday, he abruptly cut short his

availability with report-ers by hinting that changes were coming because “it isn’t work-ing the way we’re going.” He didn’t speci-fy what those changes might be.

Last year, the Sabres were regarded as one of the NHL’s biggest busts in missing the playoffs with a high-priced ros-ter. The previous off-season, Pegula com-mitted nearly $140 mil-lion in salary to add tal-ent and re-sign players.

“The hockey world knows how I and the entire Buffalo Sabres

organization feel about Lindy Ruff not only as a coach, but

as a person. His qualities have made

this decision very difficult.

Canadian tennis player says she’s ‘stepping

away’ from the gameC anadian PreSS

TORONTO - One of Canada’s top female ten-nis players is distancing herself from the game for the second time in a year.

Rebecca Marino says she’s “stepping away” from tennis.

The 22-year-old from Vancouver rocketed from a world ranking of No. 192 in 2010 to No. 38 a year later.

She reached a WTA tournament final in Memphis in February, 2011.

“This was not an easy decision, but there are a number of factors that have led me to this,” Ma-rino said in a statement issued Wednesday by Tennis Canada.

“Factors that are part

of our society and that I am more than open to discuss, which I plan to do moving forward, be-cause I know it’s part of my growth process.”

It wasn’t clear from the release if Marino in-tended to retire or return to tennis. She was sched-uled to speak to the media on a conference call later Wednesday.

Marino told the New York Times the Internet and social media criti-cism that comes with being a pro athlete were overwhelming at times.

It played a role in her decision to take a hiatus in 2012 that lasted seven months, although at the time she said her reasons were “intense mental and physical fatigue.”

Paralympic and Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius claims he killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, accidentally.

Muddled testimony raises questionsAssociAted Press

PRETORIA, South Africa - The prosecution case against Oscar Pis-torius began to unravel Wednesday with revela-tions of a series of police blunders and the lead investigator’s admission that authorities have no evidence challenging the double-amputee Olympian’s claim he killed his girlfriend acci-dentally.

Detective Hilton Botha’s often confused testimony left prosecu-tors rubbing their heads in frustration as he mis-judged distances and said testosterone - banned for professional athletes in some cases - was found at the scene, only to be later contra-dicted by the prosecu-tor’s office.

The second day of what was supposed to be a mere bail hearing almost resembled a full-blown trial for the 26-year-old runner, with his lawyer, Barry Roux, tearing into Botha’s tes-timony step by step during cross examina-tion.

Police, Botha ac-knowledged, left a 9 mm slug from the barrage that killed Reeva Steen-kamp inside a toilet and lost track of illegal am-munition found inside the house. And the de-tective himself walked through the crime scene without wearing protec-tive shoe covers, poten-tially contaminating the area.

Authorities, Roux as-serted, were selectively taking “every piece of evidence to try to extract the most possibly nega-tive connotation and present it to the court.”

The case has riveted South Africa, with jour-nalists and the curious crowding into the brick-walled courtroom where Pistorius, dubbed the Blade Runner for his prosthetic legs, faces a charge of premeditated murder in the Valen-tine’s Day slaying.

Pistorius says he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder and shot her out of fear, while prose-cutors say he planned the killing and attacked her as she cowered be-

hind a locked bathroom door.

The question now is whether Botha’s trou-bled testimony will be enough to convince Chief Magistrate Des-mond Nair to keep Pis-torius in prison until trial. While Pistorius

faces the harshest bail requirements under South African law, the magistrate has said he would consider loosen-ing them based on testi-mony in the hearing. Final arguments were scheduled for Thurs-day.

NFL looking at ways to improve replay, player safety

MichAel MArotAssociated Press

INDIANAPOLIS - The next time Jim Schwartz or any other NFL coach throws a challenge flag on a scoring play, he might get a penalty.

Starting next season, he should get a replay review, too.

NFL executive vice-president of foot-ball operations Ray An-derson emerged from Wednesday’s competi-tion committee meet-ing in Indianapolis and told The Associated Press the most import-ant thing is getting the call right.

“The bottom line is that we will get resolu-tion on that play where we will get it right, where the play on the field is correctly admin-istered,” Anderson said.

The loophole was exposed on the Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game when Schwartz threw the challenge flag on an 81-yard touchdown run by Houston’s Justin

Forsett.Replays clearly

showed Forsett’s knee and elbow touched the turf when he was hit by Lions defenders. But because all scoring plays are automatically reviewed, Schwartz was assessed a 15-yard un-sportsmanlike conduct penalty and it negated the review.

In the aftermath of that game, Anderson is-sued a statement that said negating the re-view might be “too harsh.”

Though no formal proposal is yet on the table, Anderson and others expect the rule to be modified before next season.

“I think we need to clean up the situations about what is reviewed, with Detroit and I think it was the Green Bay-Minnesota game,” Giants owner John Mara said, referring to the play that coach Mike McCarthy threw the flag and a player picked it up. “I think

we’ll address that. I’m not sure what the lan-guage will look like yet.”

That’s not the only topic on the commit-tee’s discussion list this week.

Player safety is yet again at the forefront.

The biggest poten-tial change may be the way helmets are used in the future.

Currently, players can be penalized for hitting defenceless re-ceivers and hitting players above the neck with the crown of the helmet.

One possibility is ex-panding the rule to make it illegal to target any player on the field and any body part with the top of the helmet.

The league also plans to take a look at changing the rules on illegal blocks, which could help avoid the low, rolling block that knocked Texans line-backer Brian Cushing out for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee.

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S

Cranbrook/Ktunaxa Ter-ritory – The Ktunaxa Na-tion Council (KNC) are inviting the public to an Open House on Friday February 22nd, between 1:00pm-7:00pm, at their new of� ce location in the Central School heritage building. The Ktunaxa Nation purchased the building in August 2012 and it is now home to over 100 staff members. “We are very excited to invite the public into our new home, and provide an opportunity to learn more about the Ktunaxa,” said

Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Chair. “For many, it will be the � rst opportunity to see the inside of the Central School Building since it was transformed it into of� ces. Hundreds of area residents attended the Central School as stu-dents, including many Ktunaxa, and their only recollection is of class-rooms and chalkboards.” The Ktunaxa Nation is governed by a nine mem-ber Executive Council, which is comprised of the

Chiefs of the four Canadi-an Ktunaxa communities and � ve Council Chairs which represent the sec-tors of the KNC: Corpo-rate; Economic; Social Investment; Lands and Resources; and Traditional Knowledge and Language. Each Sector will have a display highlighting their role within the Ktunaxa Nation, with staff there to provide information. Building tours will leave from the Gymnasium on a regular basis, showcasing many of the unique fea-tures, such as the original school bell and furnace. As part of the Open House, we are also encour-aging visitors to take part in documenting the history of both the Central School and the Ktunaxa,” contin-ued Teneese. “The Ktunaxa deeply val-ue our collective regional history. We feel that it is important to ensure that we

archive that history, and we would like to invite the public to bring any photos they may have that involve either the Central School or Ktunaxa. We will have a digital scanner set up at the Open House, and if you bring your photos in, we will preserve them for future generations.” The purchase of the Cen-tral School Building rep-resents a continuum of the history of Ktunaxa on its lands, and is symbolic of Ktunaxa efforts in moving towards self-governance. The building, built in 1909, will become a cen-tre for cultural gatherings and will house a Ktu-naxa Nation Museum, for which resource planning is already underway. The building will also have a dedicated space for Ktu-naxa Elders to discuss and share cultural values and history. The building will be home to many af� liat-ed organizations including

Ktunaxa Kinbasket Treaty Society, St. Eugene Mis-sion Resort Holdings Ltd., Ktunaxa Holdings Ltd., Traditional Knowledge Language Enrichment So-ciety, Kootenay Aborigi-nal Business Development Agency (KABDA) and FlexiNET Broadband Inc. In a recent analysis, � g-ures show that the Ktu-naxa inject more than $30 million annually into the regional economy. Most revenue is generated is from consulting and pro-fessional services, along with various Ktunaxa owned enterprises, with less than 3% of core fund-ing coming from AANDC (Department of Indian Af-fairs). ------------------------------------ Ktunaxa people have occu-pied the lands adjacent to the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers and the Arrow Lakes of British Columbia, Canada for more than 10,000 years.

Whether you love them or hate them

CULLING DOESN’T WORKAnd here are just a few of the reasons why...

1. The decision/resolution to cull and the decision/resolution of what tax dollars to spend on it in Cranbrook was made by City Council “in camera” - meaning behind closed doors and without public observation or consult. This is in direct contradiction to what the Community Charter (the legislative guidlines for municipal governments) dictates.

2. Culling does not resolve citizen concerns about deer whether it’s for those who want them “dealt with” for various reasons, or for those who enjoy their presence and want to coexist. As such, it is a very divisive action conducted by our city leaders without benefit to our community.

3. Culling costs tens of thousands of your tax dollars every year without any lasting or true benefit.

4. Culling does not improve public safety - the very reason the city says they are taking this action.

5. Mule Deer are on decline in our forests. We need the deer to replenish our barrier deer population.

WHY SHOULD ANYONE CARE?

There is no way to target specific deer.

f Most conflicts reported involve Mule deer because they may be more active during daylight. White-tailed deer are more likely to be active at night. The clover traps are baited and set to trigger during the night. The Cranbrook Cull kills whatever deer enters the clover trap regardless of species.

f Killing fawns, yearlings and bucks will not normally affect the reproductive potential of the deer herd within a community. (Harris, MoFLNRO, Penticton, 2012) The Cranbrook Cull kills whatever deer enters the clover trap regardless of sex or age.

f There is no way to know that a deer suspected of aggression has been eliminated from the community. It may be the less habituated deer who have not had conflict with humans.

Culling causes Compensatory Rebound Effect.

f As long as there is an abundant food source and deer feel comfortable in a location, the culled deer population will be replaced through other deer moving in and a birthing boom. Thus leading to a perpetual killing cycle costing tax payers tens of thousands of dollars without effectively reducing human/deer conflict.

For more information on how you can help end the culling of urban deer or for information on non-lethal options, please contact us at

Public safety - the very thing the municipalities say they are trying to address - is not improved.

Kootenay Re-gion LiveSmart BC Advisor

announces the energy efficiency upgrade achievements of local area small businesses and presents a chal-lenge for MORE busi-nesses to take action in 2013!

As a result of the pro-v i n c i a l l y f u n d e d LiveSmart BC Small Business Energy As-sessments, more than

50 businesses complet-ed energy retrofits dur-ing 2012 to improve their carbon footprint and lower operating costs. Together their improvements have identified over one mil-lion Kilowatt Hours saved!

Our local businesses have taken advantage of the current incentives offered through BC Hydro, FortisBC and the Province of B.C.’s

LiveSmart BC Small Business Program. http://www.livesmart-bc.ca/incentives/small-business/

Lighting upgrades are one of the easiest and most common changes that can be done to help reduce a business’s im-pact on the environ-ment. There are also in-centives available for upgrades to HVAC sys-tems (heating, ventila-tion and air condition-

ing). Improvements in both areas can help re-duce overhead costs and save energy.

Please contact Koote-nay Region LiveSmart BC Energy Advisor, Marilyn Christensen to have your free provin-cially funded LiveSmart BC Small Business as-sessment today. For more information and program eligibility, call (250) 426-5914 or email [email protected]

The recent renovation project at the Cranbrook & District Cham-ber of Commerce is a success story from top to bottom. The Chamber office, located at the East end of town just off Cran-brook Street, now utilizes space more efficiently, has more offic-es available to rent and has im-proved the overall appearance to the front reception area which has the important re-sponsibility of a welcoming first impression to many visitors to our beautiful location year

round. The project was complet-ed in October 2012 and well re-ceived by those who came by for a tour of the office on their own and during the Chamber’s open house on December 12th follow-ing the Christmas Luncheon at the Heritage Inn.

Cranbrook & District Chamber of Commerce building directors also took advantage of the BC Hydro Product Incentive Pro-gram topped off by the addi-tional 10% rebate from the Province of B.C.’s LiveSmart BC: Small Business Program when upgrading their lighting. http://www.livesmartbc.ca/in-centives/small-business/index.html Kootenay Region’s provin-cially funded LiveSmart BC Small Business Energy Advisor, Marilyn Christensen assisted with the eligibility and product information, and helped them through the online application process. Becoming more ener-gy efficient is crucial to cutting costs and in addition, sets a good example to its members

and the community by showing their commitment to making greener choices. The Chamber office will now save an estimat-ed 21,679.20 KWh per year!! Their rebate cheque was re-ceived within two weeks!

With so many decisions to make, Chamber of Commerce Manag-er, Karin Penner, appreciated Marilyn’s involvement. Marilyn’s services are currently available for FREE to all Kootenay area small businesses who qualify, including non-chamber mem-bers. Establishing eligibility is as easy as a phone call (250) 426-5914 or email [email protected]

Bridge Interiors in Cranbrook, BC, recently went through a massive renovation which in-cluded upgrading their lighting. The 44,000 sq.ft building used inefficient fluorescent fixtures mounted in high ceilings, incan-descent exit signs and incan-descent outdoor lighting. Over-head costs associated with inefficient lighting were signifi-cant. EECOL Electric, a Cran-

brook electrical wholesale outlet had initially talked to owner Ken Bridge about the recent advanc-es in lighting efficiency and how Ken could save energy and money by installing more energy efficient lighting. Ken spoke to Keith Dettling of KD Electric about retrofits and in turn, Keith

referred him to LiveSmart BC Small Business Energy Advi-sor, Marilyn Christensen for help in determining what oppor-tunities he had for improving his lighting efficiency.

Marilyn provided details about how the LiveSmart BC: Small Business Program

http://www.livesmartbc.ca/in-centives/small-business/ which is funded by the provincial gov-ernment could help reduce the cost of Ken’s new lighting, and reduce Bridge Interior’s energy use, therefore reducing his en-

ergy bills. “We need power to do business,” said Ken, “so there’s no other option but to save energy where you can.”Bridge Interior’s renovation proj-ect took on a more focused di-rection towards improved ener-gy efficiency after speaking with Marilyn. She performed a free

energy assessment followed by a detailed report showing the costs and savings of upgraded

lighting products. “Marilyn was amazing!” touts Ken’s wife and business partner, Karin Bridge as she described the vast area involved in the audit. Marilyn confirmed their eligibility for the BC Hydro Product Incentive Program so Ken and Karin knew what they could poten-tially receive in rebates even before upgrades were done. “If Marilyn didn’t have an an-swer, she found out and got back to us immediately,” Kar-in recalls. The renovations en-compassed many changes such as light repositioning, bulb re-

placements and rewiring ineffi-cient lighting. The exterior lights

were replaced with high effi-ciency sensor lights. The reno-vation project was completed in two phases and each time Marilyn helped them through the online application pro-cess. Ken was relieved that Marilyn was meticulous in mak-ing sure all the ‘I’s were dotted and ‘T’s were crossed through-out the process.

After just a couple months, sav-ings on the utility statements are already between 8% and 24%. When comparing one month with the same month in the previous year the new bills show a savings of $500. The best part is, these savings are on-going and, as Ken noted, “The benefits far outweigh the inconvenience of moving fur-

niture to change out lighting.”

LOS ANGELES — As-tronomers searching for planets outside our solar system have discovered the tiniest one yet — one that’s about the size of our moon.

But hunters for life in the universe will need to poke elsewhere. The new world orbits too close to its sun-like star and is too sizzling to support life. Its surface temperature is an estimated 700 degrees Fahrenheit (371 degrees Celsius). It also lacks an atmosphere and water on its rocky surface.

It’s been nearly two decades since the first planet was found outside our solar system. Since then, there’s been an ex-plosion of discoveries, accelerated by NASA’s Kepler telescope launched in 2009 to

search for a twin Earth. So far, 861 planets have been spotted and only recently have scientists been able to detect plan-ets that are similar in size to Earth or smaller.

While scientists have theorized the existence of a celestial body that’s smaller than Mercury — the baby of the solar sys-tem since Pluto’s down-grade — they have not spotted one until now. Nearest to the sun, Mer-cury is about two-fifths the Earth’s diameter; the newly discovered planet and our moon are about a third the size of Earth.

The teeny planet was detected by Kepler, which simultaneously tracks more than 150,000 stars for slight dips in brightness — a sign of a planet passing in front of the star. The planet — known as Kepler-37b —

orbits a star 210 light years away in the con-stellation Lyra. It’s one of three known planets in that solar system.

Discoverer Thomas Barclay of the NASA Ames Research Center in Northern California was so excited when he spied the moon-sized planet that for days, he said he recited the “Star Wars’’ movie line: “That’s no moon.’’ It took more than a year and an interna-tional team to confirm that it was a bona fide planet.

Scientists are looking

for an Earth-size planet that’s in the so-called Goldilocks zone — that sweet spot that’s not too hot and not too cold where water, which is es-sential for life, could exist on the surface.

While the newly dis-covered planet isn’t it, “that does not detract from the fact that this is yet another mile marker along the way to habit-able Earth-like planets,’’ said Alan Boss of the Car-negie Institution for Sci-ence in Washington, who was not part of the dis-covery team.

Kepler-37b is around the same size as the moon and similar to Mercury.

LOS ANGELES — Fresh off drilling into a rock for the first time, the Mars rover Curiosity is prepping for the next step — dissecting the pulverized rock to deter-mine what it’s made of.

NASA said Wednes-day it received confir-mation that Curiosity successfully collected a tablespoon of powder from the drilling two weeks ago and was poised to transfer a pinch to its onboard lab-oratories. It’s the first

time a spacecraft has bored into a rock on Mars to retrieve a sam-ple from the interior.

The analysis is ex-pected to take days to complete.

If all goes smoothly, scientists will focus next on driving the six-wheel rover to Mount Sharp, its ultimate sci-ence destination. Curi-osity landed in an an-cient crater last sum-mer to study whether the environment could have been favourable for microbes.

More than 500 new teachers, over 400 new special education assistants, and smaller class sizes are the direct result of the Learning Improvement F u n d .

The fi rst $60 million in LIF funding was allocated to school districts this past fall.

The Aboriginal completion rate rose to 56.4 per cent in 2011-12 and there are now record

numbers of Aboriginal students completing high school. A strong education will help ensure all students have the skills for the one million job openings expected in British Columbia over the next decade.

Labour unrest and withheld services in the last school year was unfair to students and parents and a new bargaining round starts again this

spring. Government has off ered to negotiate a 10 year contract to bring peace to our schools. The BCTF insists it isn’t interested.

OTTAWA — Health officials are investigat-ing another massive cross-country beef re-call after frozen burgers sold by Canada Safeway Ltd. tested positive for E. coli bacteria.

Health officials are testing several Safeway brand burgers including Gourmet Meat Shoppe Big & Juicy Burger, Gourmet Meat Shoppe Prime Rib Burger and Butcher’s Cut Beef Pat-ties sold in packages of 10, 20 and 40.

The burgers were produced on one single day on Aug. 14, 2012 at the Cardinal Meat Spe-cialists plant in Bramp-ton, Ont.

The burgers have a best-before date of Aug. 14, 2013.

The plant will con-tinue to operate during the investigation. Cardi-

nal is the biggest meat producer in Canada, ac-cording to the Canadian Food Inspection Agen-cy.

“They’ve taken the precautionary action of recalling all the prod-ucts produced on the line for that day and we’re continuing to work with them in the investigation,’’ said Paul Mayers, associate vice-president of pro-grams at CFIA.

Federal inspectors are examining retail samples of the products and received a positive response for E. coli.

The investigation was sparked after two people in Ontario and Manitoba became ill and tested positive for E. coli on Feb. 13.

TORONTO — A new study suggests the infra-structure in some of the country’s cities isn’t doing enough to keep cyclists safe.

The study, published in the Journal Injury Prevention, explored why Canadian bikers are at least eight times more likely to be injured

than cyclists in some European countries.

Researchers across the country interviewed nearly 700 people who got hurt while biking through Toronto and Vancouver.

Lead author Anne Harris of Ryerson Uni-versity says the inter-views revealed gaps in Canada’s biking infra-

structure.She says most cities

don’t offer physically separated bike lanes, which emerged as one key tool to prevent inju-ries.

She says lower vehi-cle speeds and flatter commuting surfaces would also go a long way to protecting cy-clists.

Study finds more action needed for cyclist safety

LAKE LOUISE, Alta. — There’s a new cat in town and she’s got her kitten in tow.

A lynx mother and her baby have been hanging around the Al-berta resort town of Lake Louise in Banff Na-tional Park for about a month now.

The usually shy wild cats have even been spotted on the Lake Louise ski hill.

Parks Canada has re-leased some photos snapped by one of its employees who was helping to keep the lynx off the highway.

The pictures show an incredibly agile and flexible animal slinking its way through a wire

fence.Parks officials say lynx

sighting have been ex-tremely rare, but this year is considered to be a peak year for the animals.

“In addition to the remarkable photos, this is a good news story that highlights how the pub-lic can assist with wild-life conservation in our national parks,’’ Parks Canada spokesman Omar McDadi said in a release.

“A number of calls were made by the public to our ... dispatch line, prompting an immedi-ate response from our conservation officer, who was able to secure the area of the highway

Scientists say moose can catch the disease, which is similar to mad cow disease, but they can’t pass it on to other moose.

The diagnosis of the

sick moose was released yesterday, after it was killed in a collision with a vehicle near Medicine Hat last November.

It was the first such case ever found in Al-berta, although moose have been found with chronic wasting disease in the United States.

AP PHOTO/HARINGEY COUNCIL

This is an undated image of an art work from British artist Banksy made available by Haringey Council Wednesday Feb. 20, 2013.

JILL LAWLESSAssociated Press

LONDON — A Lon-don neighbourhood wants its Banksy back.

A stencil by the famed but secretive graffiti artist of a young boy sewing Union Jack bunting on an antique sewing machine ap-peared on the side of a north London bargain store last May. Soon the gritty Turnpike Lane area was drawing art lovers keen to see Banksy’s typically cheeky take on the Dia-mond Jubilee celebra-tions of Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the Brit-ish throne.

Last week it van-ished, leaving nothing but a rectangle of ex-posed brick — only to reappear on the website of a Miami auction house. Listed as “Slave Labor (Bunting Boy),’’ it is due to be sold Satur-day with an estimated price of between $500,000 and $700,000.

London authorities concede the sale is probably legal — the mural was on private property. But they hope moral pressure will make the auction house change its mind.

“(It’s) totally unethi-cal that something so valued should be torn without warning from its community context,’’ local lawmaker Lynne Featherstone said.

Featherstone said she had asked the build-ing’s owner for an expla-nation, but had yet to receive a reply. Pound-land, the store that oc-cupies the building, said it had nothing to do with the removal.

On Wednesday, the local government au-thority appealed to the auctioneer for the re-turn of the work.

In an open letter to auction house chief Frederic Thut, Haringey Council called the art-work “a much-loved local landmark’’ that had been visited by people from around the world.

“We understand that there may be nothing il-legal in the way this art-work was quietly re-moved from our streets and put up for auction by you in Miami,’’ the letter said.

“But for you to allow it to be sold for huge profit in this way would be morally wrong, and completely contrary to the spirit in which we believe it was given to

British neighbourhood appeals for return of Banksy mural

our community.’’Councilor Alan

Strickland said the work had become “a real symbol of local pride’’ in an area badly hit in En-gland’s August 2011 riots. He said its disap-pearance had left resi-dents “shocked and

angry.’’Strickland said he

had asked England’s Arts Council for help re-trieving the work.

The govern-ment-funded council called the loss of the Banksy “a shame,’’ but said there was little it

could do. The council has the power to stop the export of culturally significant artworks, but only if they are more than 50 years old.

Fine Art Auctions Miami said it had ac-quired the work legally, but gave few other de-

tails. It said in a state-ment that it had “done all the necessary due diligence about the ownership of the work.’’

“Unfortunately we are not able to provide you with any informa-tion by law and contract about any details of this consignment,’’ it said. “We are more than happy to do so if you can prove that the works were acquired and re-moved illegally.’’

street artist, who refuses to reveal his real name, began his career spray-painting build-ings and bridges in his home city of Bristol in southwest England. His often satirical images include two policemen kissing, armed riot po-lice with yellow smiley faces and a chimpanzee with a sign bearing the words “Laugh now, but one day I’ll be in charge.’’

Original Banksy works now sell for up to

hundreds of thousands of dollars and the artist has become an interna-tional celebrity. He has created sequences for “The Simpsons’’ and di-rected an Academy Award-nominated doc-umentary, “Exit Through the Gift Shop.’’

His works are still sometimes obliterated by zealous local officials, street cleaners or taken off buildings along with a chunk of wall for pri-vate sale.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have plans, and you are goal-oriented. Events easily could change your schedule around in the morning, which leaves the remainder of the day to play catch-up. Your intuition guides you through complicat-ed situations. Tonight: Remain sensitive to a difficult person. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Understand someone’s oppo-sition. Ask yourself whether this is a knee-jerk reaction or a well thought-out response. You have a choice to make, but ap-proach a power play with care. If you don’t, it could be a waste of time. Tonight: Hang out with friends and family. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Put the reins on spending if you see some smoke signals floating around you. Your response could be more significant than you are aware of. Root out the issue with care, and you probably will be happier as a result. Tonight: Make weekend plans with close

friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to others who seek you out. They might perceive you as being more powerful than you think you are. Give yourself space to do what you feel is necessary, and appreciate that others could be putting you on a pedestal. Tonight: Follow your own ideas. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Respond to situations after listening to your inner voice. You might need -- and want -- to back off, at least for a little while. Your gregarious nature could demand a different out-let. Handle what needs to be done in solitude. Tonight: You don’t have to tell everyone ev-erything. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Zero in on what needs to hap-pen. Your creativity might be challenged by someone, and you’ll have to come up with quite a few ideas. Brainstorm with a friend who often doesn’t agree with you; you will have several solutions to choose from. Tonight: Take a stand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Reach out for more informa-tion, as you might not have all the facts. Someone in your do-mestic life could let you know how little he or she thinks you know. Detach from the situa-tion, and you just might find this matter to be humorous. Tonight: Good times happen. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others who are involved in a project you’re working on will join you in a brainstorming ses-sion. Whatever the objective of this meeting is, you’ll find that a certain individual can be un-usually challenging. Don’t lose sight of your objective. Tonight: Read between the lines. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Understand what is happen-ing with someone. This person might need you to make more of an effort to get together. A money issue could be the root of the problem. Recognize a lia-bility, and establish a boundary, if need be. Tonight: Listen rather than speak. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You can be a hard person to

resist. You are more than will-ing to play devil’s advocate. You take this role rather seriously. A person you play this role with might not be as secure as you would like. Try to straighten out this issue. Tonight: Your treat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you are able to avoid a diffi-cult person, you could have a nearly perfect day. Accomplish what you must, but take some time for yourself. Schedule an appointment or a checkup. In-clude some exercise, or take a walk if you can. Tonight: Run an important errand. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your creativity comes forth, which brings you many oppor-tunities. Honor what is happen-ing around you, and find the space to incorporate more of a specific experience into your life. You will feel better as a re-sult. Tonight: Act like this is the beginning of your weekend. BORN TODAY Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt (1979), actor Kelsey Grammer (1955), civil-rights activist John Lewis (1940)

Dear Annie: I am a senior in high school. I have been dating “Brianna” for 10 months. She graduated last year and attended a com-munity college, but really had no ambition or motivation to be there. We spent last sum-mer together, and I honestly fell head over heels in love with her. Here’s the problem. I have been accepted to many colleges out of town. It has always been my dream to go away to school. I told Brianna it wouldn’t be fair to either of us to stay together while I am away, but I want us to be together as much as possible until then. Ever since I mentioned this to Brian-na, however, things haven’t been the same. We’ve been arguing a lot. Brianna’s dad left when she was 12, and she’s still crushed by it. She doesn’t get along well with her family and tells me I’m all she has. She says when I go away to school, I’ll be leaving her just like everybody else. Now I feel nothing but guilt when I think about college. I want us to enjoy our time to-gether as much as possible. I want Brianna to be my date for my senior prom, but I don’t want her to think I’m simply using her. It’s not true. She is the only person I want by my side. Annie, do you think it’s fair that we’re stay-ing together now even though we’re most likely breaking up when I leave for college? I want the full college experience, and I know a long-distance relationship will be misera-ble, because Brianna and I argue constantly via text messages when we’re only 10 min-utes away. Have I made the right decision? -- College Bound and Confused Dear College Bound: Whether or not to stay together until the end of the summer is up to Brianna, too. If she can handle it, wishing you well, it’s a solid idea, and you can plan to see each other over winter break. But if Brianna feels you are abandoning her, she may try to hold you hostage emotionally, pressuring you to alter your plans. That will only create hard feelings and resentment all around. Talk to Brianna and ask what she wants to do, but be firm about your future. Good luck. Dear Annie: Last June, a co-worker com-mitted suicide. The staff and I were extreme-ly devastated. No one saw it coming. Now, all these months later, two of my best friends at work have decided to get a tribute tattoo in this person’s honor. These friends were not particularly close to this co-worker, and this is the first death they have personally experienced. I know every-one deals with death in their own way, but they barely knew the co-worker who died. Our entire group of friends thinks this tattoo is a bad idea. We all want to say something, but don’t know what. -- Tattoo Troubles Dear Troubles: We think these two are look-ing for a way to honor their late co-worker. If you can recommend a better tribute (e.g., working for a suicide prevention hotline, Survivors of Suicide, the American Founda-tion for Suicide Prevention, raising funds for suicide awareness), you could suggest it as being more meaningful. But ultimately, how they choose to decorate their bodies is up to them. Dear Annie: “No Longer Compatible” said she isn’t attracted to her husband because he stopped bathing and has bad breath, a beer belly and sinus issues. Oddly enough, clairvoyance isn’t conferred with the vows. Has she actually told him what she wants from him? He may be relieved that better hygiene can fix the issue. My second husband wore a size 54 belt. I pretended modesty and wanted the lights out, but really didn’t care to see his body. But he was an excellent lover because his most important organ was his brain. He tried to please and was completely unselfconscious. -- Also Been Married to Buddha Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Norman Allan Blaine November 11, 1940 -February 7, 2013

We are saddened to announce the passing of Norman Allan Blaine (aka, “Stormin Norman” & “Blink”). He is survived by his daughter, Kristi, son-in-law, Kevin and his two very special grandchildren, Kylea and Kameron. Norm was born in Cranbrook, BC and spent many years of his life there, working

for CMHC. He then moved to Kelowna BC, where he worked as assistant manager with CMHC for many years. In 2004, Norman fulfilled his life-long dream, to live on the open road. He found himself a motorhome and travelled for the next 6 years across the United States and Western Canada, with his beloved dogs in tow. Norm will be remembered for his generosity, love of animals and his uncanny ability to tell a great story and deliver a joke, better than anyone! There will be no funeral service by request. A “Celebration of Norm’s Life” will be held later in the spring in Cranbrook, BC. To receive information on “Norm’s Celebration of Life” please email [email protected]

Thomas (Tom) Montague, Oldham Conway

March 20, 1919 - February 17, 2013

It is with great sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather at St. Michael’s Nursing Home in Edmonton on Sunday, February 17, 2013 at the age of 93. He was reunited

in heaven with his beloved wife, May, who passed away on Dec. 9, 1996.

Tom was born on March 20, 1919 on a farm near Lloydminster Saskatchewan, where he grew up and received his education. Tom met May, the love of his life, and they married on July 17, 1943. They farmed in Lloydminster area till 1952. They resided in Irma, Alberta and also spent nine years in Blairmore, Alberta where he was the pastor in a small church with the Canadian Sunday School Mission and worked independently for McGavin/Toastmaster. They moved to Kimberley, BC, for five years and then in 1971 moved to Cranbrook where he continued this work until retirement. He and May owned and operated the Flamingo Motel in Cranbrook. Tom was an active member in the Cranbrook Alliance Church and served as a board member and elder for many years. He moved to Edmonton for his remaining years, to spend time with his special friend, Audrey Grant, who he knew from his youth. He whistled everywhere he went, often his favourite hymns and loved to share jokes from his repertoire. He eagerly shared his faith with those he met along life’s pathway. He’ll be sadly missed by his children, their families and many friends. He leaves to mourn four daughters, Carole Thom (Bruce), Dianne McKay (Doug), Sylvia Leasak (John), Norma Juozaitis (Francis), and one son Gary Conway (Kyra), eleven grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren.

Tom was predeceased by his wife May, brother Jack and sister Mary.

Following a private internment, there will be a memorial service for Tom at the Cranbrook Alliance Church on Monday, February 25, 2013 at 12:00. In lieu of flower, donations can be made to His Hope Uganda, c/o Gary Toyoto, 2909 - 2 St. S., Cranbrook, BC, V1C 5B6
