Weather no worry for

Paralympian

C AROLYN GR [email protected]

With the Olympic Games wrapped up this past weekend, Sochi takes a deep breath and

prepares to host the world again as the Paralympics run March 7 to 16, 2014.

Kimberley’s Josh Dueck, Paralympic sil-ver medalist in the Sla-lom (sitski) in Vancou-ver 2010 is already in Europe preparing for the Games.

He watched the al-pine events at the Olym-

pics with more interest than the casual viewer.

“We do race on the same venues as they use in the Olympics,” said. “It was fun to watch the men’s downhill race to gather a better idea of how the course will run.”

Dueck will run all the alpine races in Sochi beginning with the

Downhill on March 8. Super G on the 9th, Super Combined on the 11th, Slalom on the 13th and GS on the 15th.

He is looking for-ward to Sochi, though he has no idea what conditions will be on the courses by the time the Games begin.

Sarona Mynhardt, Director of the White Rock Children’s Choir, clinician, and performer, was in Kimberley last week for three days to work the Selkirk Concert Choir. On Saturday night, at the end of the three days, the choir under the direction of Mynhardt performed at the McKim Theater in front of a very appreciative crowd. Mynhardt lead the choir through a variety of songs with the last set focusing on African music. The students found Sarona had a great sense of humor, was very personable and always had a story. The enthusiasm shown during the concert was a testament to the wonderful experience the students enjoyed during the three-day workshop.

Police still seeking info on armed robbery

Some tips coming in, nothing concrete

C AROLYN GR [email protected]

As reported in yesterday’s Bulletin, a taxi driver was the victim of an armed robbery in Marysville just be-fore midnight Saturday, February 22, 2014.

Kimberley RCMP NCO in Charge Cpl. Chris Newel says that there are some tips coming in but nothing con-crete so far.

The police know from doing a re-verse lookup that the call originated from the pay phone at Marysville Pet-roCan. The cab was asked to come for the pickup near the swings at the Marysville Park.

From Page 1“It sounds like it is

“I’m more than happy to run in warm conditions, it does not bother me a whole lot. If it ends up being warmer I feel like it may compliment a person who is a better all around skier, rath-er than one that is specifically a highly trained ski racer.”

From page 1Newel says the sub-

ject got in the cab before producing the gun, then demanded money and left. He said he didn’t know if the driver got a good look at the gun or not, but he did the right thing.

“Hopefully you don’t take chances on wheth-er the gun is real in a situation like that,” Newel said. “And even if a fake gun is used, if it’s in the commission of a crime there are charges for that.”

Newel says crime in-volving guns is not com-mon in small towns like

Kimberley, but “every once in while it hap-pens”.

A police dog was on the scene of the crime very quickly after it oc-curred but although it picked up a track, the dog was unable to locate the suspect, who re-mains at large.

The suspect is de-scribed as a Caucasian male in his 30’s, with blue eyes, wearing blue jeans, a black hoodie and a white ski mask. Police are asking any-one with information to contact the Kimberley RCMP at 250-427-4811.

Local groups come together to

study East Kootenay child-care problems

Sally MacDonalDTownsman Staff

A new local task force is tackling the East Koo-tenay’s childcare crisis.

Starting this spring, the group is conducting a child care needs as-sessment for the region. The assessment will seek public input on problems that families face in securing child care, and make recom-mendations on how to alleviate the issues.

The task force is made up representa-tives from the East Koo-tenay branches of Chil-dren First, Success By

Six, Child Care Resource and Referral, as well as community members. Columbia Basin Trust and Teck are partnering with the task force.

“Many of us in our different roles have had people approach us quite often about the childcare crisis,” said Patricia Whalen of Chil-dren First. “Right now, there are two scenarios in many of our commu-nities: they either have the space for child care but not staff, or some communities have staff but no space.”

The group conduct-ed a survey recently that illustrated the need for a comprehensive study of childcare issues.

“It was quite evident from that survey that there is a huge need in all of the communities,” said Whalen.

WOLF CREEK LINE RELOCATION PROJECT COMMENCEMENT

BC Hydro will be making system improvements and re-locating the power line in the Wasa—Wolf Creek area to improve reliability for customers along Wolf Creek Road. Work will begin February 2014 and is expected to be completed by June 2014. The project will include vegetation clearing work, followed by construction activities and the use of heavy equipment, which could result in higher than normal traffic activity in the area.

BC Hydro recognizes the inconvenience that the construction activity may cause, and will complete the work safely and as efficiently as possible.

If you have any questions, or would like more information about the Wolf Creek Line Relocation Project, please contact Michael Price, Project Manager at 604 515 8678 or Diane Tammen, Community Relations Manager at 250 489 6862.

Information Package - Proposed Five Year Financial Plan (2014 – 2018)

City Council invites participation regarding the proposed Financial Plan before it is adopted.

Copies of the proposed 2014 – 2018 Five Year Financial Plan are available for pick up at City Hall or for download from the City website – www.cranbrook.ca and click on ‘Annual Reports’ under City of Cranbrook Links.

Written submissions are invited from the public and must be received at City Hall by 4:00 pm Friday, March 7, 2014.

Written submissions will be considered by Council at a Special Meeting on Tuesday, March 11, 2014.

From Page 3“Out of 272 respon-

dents, 80.5 per cent said they felt there was a need to do a more in-depth childcare assessment.”

Whalen said some of the task force members have spoken to families who are planning to move to Cranbrook and

call to enquire about childcare availability. When they learn there is a wait list, some families change their relocation plans.

“It’s a bigger picture than I think is realized. People aren’t moving here.”

As well as childcare

availability, the cost of childcare is an issue, Whalen said, mentioning that when she had two children in child care it cost $1,200 a month.

“That’s another part of the crisis – parents are feeling, ‘I’m basically just going to work to pay for child care,’” said Whalen. “It’s tough – there are a lot of people out there who are very employable but they can’t find the child care. So it certainly affects our economy.”

Starting in the spring, a consultant will begin to circulate surveys about child care for community members to fill out. There will also be a round of community consultation sessions.

The consultant will use the consultation to prepare a report on East Kootenay childcare with recommendations. That report will be presented to the community, as well as to the recently an-nounced B.C. Office for the Early Years, elected officials, school districts, city councils and cham-bers of commerce.

“A lot of people talk about the crisis but they

don’t really know how bad it is until they see it on paper and they see the stats and the different types of childcare that are required to help our fam-ilies,” said Whalen.

“Most people proba-bly feels it’s 9-5 required, but then there are fami-lies that need after school care, we’ve got parents who do shift work – there is quite a few scenarios.”

With the report in hand, the next stage will be acting on its recom-mendations, Whalen went on.

“I know it’s not an easy fix. It’s bigger than just building a space; we need the staff, they have to be paid appropriately.

“It’s quite exciting that we can move forward now. High quality child care is very important to the development of our children.”

Stay tuned for more details on how you can provide input to the childcare needs assess-ment.

“I look forward to being part of the project. It’s a very important one to our region,” said Wha-len.

For the Bulletin

On Friday, March 7, 2014, the women of Egypt invite you to join with them in the World Day of Prayer cele-bration, praying under the theme, “Streams in the Desert”. Each year the World Day of Prayer service brings with it a feeling of curiousity. What will challenge, inspire and encourage us? What will we learn about the theme and the focus country? What will we learn about ourselves?

“I can imagine myself by the well, looking down at the water. The water is like a mirror. I can see not only my-self, but if I look closer, I can see the whole world.”

Through the voices of urban, rural, older and younger Egyptian women the World Day of Prayer Committee of Egypt introduces their country on a human scale. They reveal Egypt as

they live in it; a country with one foot firmly planted in the past, teetering on the cusp of modernity, searching for its next step.

Please join us (women and men), invite your friends and family to at-tend the World Day of Prayer service and learn more bout the culture and heritage of Egypt. Join Christians in more than 170 countries around the world and 2,000 communities across Canada who will gather on the World Day of Prayer to pray and act in soli-darity with the people of Egypt.

aaron MeyerThe Key City Theatre rocked to the

sounds of Led Zepplin’s iconic Kashmir last Thursday night. However it was not the strings of an electric guitar which sang this driving melody but those bowed on a violin. The violin of Portland, Oregon’s Aaron Meyer accompanied by members of the Cranbrook Violin Club.

Concert Rock Violinist Aaron Meyer and his guitarist Tim Ellis thrilled the au-dience as they carried them on a journey across many musical genres. From rock to celtic, tango to contemporary, folk to clas-sical, Aaron seemlessly transitioned from one musical style to another within a sin-gle bow stroke.

Earlier in the day, the students of Koo-tenay Orchards Elementary School were treated to an assembly with Aaron Meyer and his guitarist Tim Ellis. Afterwards the members of the Cranbrook Violin Club were fortunate to have the opportunity to attend Master Classes during which they learned about song writing and recording in addition to violin and guitar techniques from Aaron and Tim.

The Cranbrook Violin Club would like to thank Aaron Meyer and Tim Ellis for an awesome day and for allowing them to share the stage at the Key City Theatre!

The goal of the Cranbrook Violin Club, founded in 2010 by music teacher Kim

Lutz, is to make music accessible to all families with young children. In keeping with this vision, it was the goal of our club to obtain sponsorship from local organi-zations and businesses to enable a family of four from every school in Cranbrook, Marysville and Kimberley to attend Aaron Meyer’s Concert.

We would like to give a huge thank you to all of the following community spon-sors which enabled us to achieve this goal: Sunrise Rotary Club of Cranbrook, Canadian Tire, Alpine Toyota, Paramed-ics of Cranbrook Station 403, Royal LeP-age East Kootenay Realty, Kootenay Live-stock Association, New Dawn Develop-ments, East Kootenay Community Credit Union,Western Financial Group Cran-brook and Kimberly, Bridge Interiors and members of the East Kootenay Regional Hospital Medical Staff including Dr. Hele-na Buchar, Dr. Linda Smith, Dr. Charles Casselman and anonymous donors. We would also like to thank Max’s Place for providing delicious food for Aaron Meyer and Tim Ellis as well as Rocky Mountain Print Solutions for their assistance with the printing of the programs. The Cran-brook Violin Club would also like to give a big thank you to their director Kim Lutz for all of his hard work and dedication to our club. Kim donates countless numbers of hours to the teaching of violin to 98 youth in our community. We would also like to thank all of those who attended the Aaron Meyer concert for your support. This concert could not have happened without all of the tremendous support from our community.

From a Ukrainian point of view, the priority is not to throw their revolution away again like they did after the Or-

ange Revolution ten years ago. But from everybody else’s point of view, the priority now is to avoid an irreparable breach be-tween Russia and the West. One Cold War was enough.

The Yanukovych era is finished; the former presi-dent will not make another come-back. He has killed too many people, and the vulgar ostentation of his former palace (whose ar-chitect understandably chose to remain anonymous) has shocked Ukrainians even though they already knew he was deeply corrupt. Besides, Russia will not bet on this horse again.

On the other hand, the various opposi-tion leaders will have great difficulty in deciding who leads their coalition, if in-deed they can even agree on a coalition before the promised election on 25 May. But they’ll still win the election, because Yanukovych never allowed any plausible rivals to emerge in his pro-Russian Party of the Regions, and Russia will not be able to find and groom a suitable replacement in time.

Who will emerge as Ukraine’s next lead-er? Yulia Tymoshenko, newly released from prison, is the obvious choice, and that would certainly ease matters on the Rus-sian front. She got along reasonably well with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, when she was prime minister last time. But many Ukrainians who backed the revolu-

tion don’t trust her.Tymoshenko is dogged by questions

about how she got so rich after the Soviet Union collapsed, and she bears some of the blame for the chronic in-fighting that discredited Ukraine’s first attempt at run-ning a democratic government after the

Orange Revolution of 2004. None of the other potential candidates, however, is ac-ceptable to Putin.

The best that can be hoped for in the short run, therefore, is a cold peace between Kiev and Moscow, which means that the $15

billion Putin promised to lend Yanu-kovych’s regime will not now be forthcom-ing. But the money has to come from somewhere, and the only alternative is the West, probably in the shape of the Interna-tional Monetary Fund.

It is not clear if the United States and the EU are willing to come up with that kind of money. If not, then the upheavals in Ukraine will resume in fairly short order. And in either case Putin will work to sabo-tage the attempt to entrench a strong dem-ocratic system with effective anti-corrup-tion laws in Ukraine.

President Barack Obama can tell Putin that Ukraine is not a square on a Cold War chessboard, but the Russian president does see it as a zero-sum game, and in terms of his own purposes he is right. His pet project to restore the Soviet Union in a non-Communist version by creating a “Eurasian Union”, for example, dwindles to nothing but Russia and a bunch of Central

Asian dictatorships if Ukraine isn’t a part of it.

More importantly, Putin does not want to have a large, prosperous and democratic country with strong EU ties on Russia’s own border. Especially if it is another Slavic country that also used to be part of the Soviet Union, and it got its democracy as the result of a largely non-violent revolu-tion carried out in the main square of the capital city. The example would be very dangerous to his regime.

There’s no risk of that sort of thing hap-pening on Red Square in Moscow at the moment, but Putin thinks long term. Rus-sia will therefore continue to meddle in Ukraine in an attempt to abort such a dan-gerous outcome

Confronting Moscow directly over this sort of thing would be a mistake, and could lead us all down the path that ends in a new Cold War. Russians, for historical rea-sons, do not see themselves as “outsiders” in Ukraine (although most Ukrainians do), and they will react very badly to attempts to exclude them entirely.

The better and safer path is to support the Ukrainians with trade and aid, but leave it to them to deal with Russian inter-ference in their politics. They are perfectly capable of doing this for themselves, and they can also prosper without joining either the European Union or NATO. But they do need a whopping great loan, right now.

Ukraine after the revolution

A little-noticed protest tent sprouted up on the rain-soaked B.C. legislature grounds earlier this month.

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver spoke, asking whether B.C. residents would tolerate trophy hunting of killer whales. That would be a federal matter, but the point is vividly made about the onset of B.C.’s traditional spring grizzly bear hunt.

It’s bigger this year, with Kootenay and Chilcotin wildlife manage-ment regions reopened after closures were enacted to pre-serve grizzly populations. In all, more than 1,000 grizzly bears are up for grabs. As with limited-entry hunts for deer and other animals, only about a third of those hunts are successful in an average year.

The rally was sponsored by the Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative, the part-nership with U.S.-directed environment groups Sierra Club, Greenpeace and For-estEthics that has become so influential in B.C. affairs. It produced a survey showing that 88 per cent of B.C. residents oppose trophy hunting, and its California experts calculate a 10-fold increase in value when bear hunting gives way to bear watching.

The Raincoast Conservation Society has bought up half a dozen guiding territories on the remote B.C. coast. Combined with government restrictions, more than half the coast is now off limits to bear hunting.

Naturally, activists want the whole prov-ince shut down.

Wildlife management is the responsibil-ity of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. He’s heard plenty from all sides and he main-tains that bear watching and bear hunting will continue to coexist in B.C.

Thomson has just introduced legisla-tion to permit hunting guide territories to

be operated by corporations as well as individuals. This is a long-sought change, al-lowing First Nations compa-nies and others access to bank loans to expand the industry.

Non-resident hunters are required to hire a licensed guide-outfitter. Resident

hunters pay $32 for a one-year hunting li-cence and $80 for a grizzly bear tag. Non-Canadians pay $180 for the licence and $1,030 for a chance at a grizzly.

Hunting in general is making a come-back in B.C. Ministry data show hunting li-censes had declined to 85,633 in 2006, but recovered to reach 97,828 by 2013.

Thomson credits the work of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, which runs hunter training courses. Another program, Be-coming an Outdoor Woman, has helped revive hunting and camping as a family activity, he said.

Growing up hunting in northeastern B.C., I was taught not to shoot anything I’m

not prepared to eat. I also remember the struggles to protect caribou and other en-dangered prey species that at one time had B.C. biologists resorting to shooting wolves from helicopters.

The reopening of grizzly bear territories is marketed to urban residents as a horrible crime against nature. In fact, it’s a sign of increasing population.

Problems in B.C. wildlife these days in-clude the fragile mountain caribou herds of the Kootenays, which have been subject to intensive management including reloca-tion of animals.

The ministry has also begun a five-year study of declining moose populations across a vast area of the Interior subject to salvage logging in the wake of the pine bee-tle epidemic.

Vancouver media recently highlighted a grizzly hunt by NHL journeyman Clayton Stoner. Typically, U.S. enviros promoted the deceased bear by name, “Cheeky,” and photos showed its carcass stripped to the skeleton by scavengers after Stoner left with the hide, paws and head.

They don’t mention that the same fate awaits animals that die of starvation or other natural causes, which increase when animals overpopulate. As with many B.C. issues, there’s a cartoon version sold to im-pressionable city dwellers, and then there’s the truth.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

It’s safe to say Curtis Stock-ton turned some heads this year.

The Avalanche right side volleyball player was named the male player of the year during the Pacwest champion-ship this past weekend in North Vancouver.

Stockton was a huge offen-sive force on the team this year, consistently leading the squad—and the Pacwest league—in kills. At the end of the season, he also reigned on top of the nation-wide CCAA standings.

“Arguably one of the best players in the country,” said Av-alanche head coach Steve Kamps. “Being named player of the year in Pacwest is huge, we’ve only had one other player in our history get named player of the year, so it’s a definite hon-our for him and well deserved.

“He was a machine for us. He played almost every set and for a guy who got the volume that he got, especially on a road trip where we’re doing four games in four days, is remark-

able—some of those weekends he had.”

Stockton found out in a meeting with Kamps a few days before heading to North Van-couver, and had to keep the news under wraps before it was announced at the provincial championship.

“Everyone was really happy for me, and it just goes to show how strong our team is,” said Stockton. “Even though it’s an individual award, I could not

get that award unless people are playing well around me.

“It’s something fantastic, and though it’s an individual award, it definitely compli-ments the team, I think.”

Stockton, in his second year with the Avalanche, came to the College of the Rockies from Australia, where he was recruit-ed out of the Greater Melbourne Volleyball Academy, the same program that former Avs player Liam Bennett came out of.

Stockton had some things to work on after his rookie season last year, and came into the pro-gram ready to make an impact this time around, according to Kamps.

“Last year, he had a great season, and I challenged him to get stronger over the summer and he committed himself to a training program and through-out our season as well.

“He came into camp in great shape and elevated his game right from the get-go.”

With such a strong season, both Kamps and Stockton admit that CIS university teams have been making inquiries about his availability.

The Avalanche men’s volleyball team cap-tured a bronze medal at the Pacwest champion-ship with a win in the tiebreak set over the Ca-mosun College Char-gers.

After getting handily beat in the opening set, the Avs came back in four to force a tiebreak, which they won to earn the hardware.

“We started out kind of flat and I challenged the guys and said it shows your true charac-ter if you give up now,” said Avs head coach Steve Kamps.

“After getting stomped in the first set, we fought our way into the match and ended up winning 18-16 in the fifth set, so it was right down to the last point and some big plays in the fifth set and the guys are really excited.”

The final set scores stood at 14-25, 25-19, 17-25, 25-21, 18-16.

At the tournament, Avs right side Curtis Stockton was named the Pacwest male player of the year and also to the

first all-star team. He consistently led the Pacwest standings for kills, and is on top of the nation-wide CCAA rankings.

Stockton said the Avs were able to regroup and focus on their way to the win after a tough opening set.

“I think Camosun had it in their minds that they were going to be in that gold medal

final, where we earned every set we played this year. We haven’t really rolled over and died, so we wanted to win.

“It didn’t matter if it was seventh or eighth place, we were going to work our hardest. For some of our guys, it was their last couple games for volleyball win our team, so we wanted to go out with a bang.”

The win eased the

pain of a flat match in the semifinal against the top-ranked Columbia Bible College Bearcats which romped to a 25-18, 25-20, 25-19 win in three sets to earn the berth to the gold-medal match.

“We felt we could match up pretty well to Columbia Bible College if we served tough and pass their serve, we felt like we could beat their

big block and we, unfor-tunately, didn’t serve or pass real well,” said Kamps.

“Against a team where the shortest guy is 6’5”, it proved to be too difficult for us.”

To open the tourna-ment, the Avs went up against their hosts in North Vancouver, the Capilano University Blues, and tallied a 3-1 win with set scores at 25-23, 25-22, 24-26, 26-24.

That win knocked the Blues out of the tournament, which was a pretty satisfying feel-ing, said Kamps.

“Basically the same team back as last year, the defending provin-cial champs and so that was a big win for us, we kind of grinded it out,” said Kamps. “We fought our nerves all night, but the guys came out on top on Thursday, and put them out of the tournament, so that was huge for us.”

Stockton wasn’t the only Avalanche player honoured at the tourna-ment as Zack Fedechko was selected for the men’s all-rookie team.

The race for all the marbles officially begins on Tuesday night as the Kimberley Dyna-miters begin their playoff march against the Fernie Ghostriders on home ice.

The Nitros have been hot in

February and haven’t lost a game with four wins and one tie, which came against the di-vision-leading Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

Kimberley also owns the regular season series between their first-round playoff oppo-nents, with six wins and two

losses in the eight games they’ve faced each other.

Kimberley, which finished second in the Eddie Mountain division, has home-ice advan-tage, and the two teams will trade locations each game of the series up to, if required, Game Seven.

MONTREAL - For a second year in a row, the Montreal Alouettes will start the CFL sea-son with a new head coach.

Alouettes owner Bob Wetenhall announced Monday that Tom Hig-gins will be the club’s new head coach.

The former Edmon-ton Eskimos and Cal-gary Stampeders bench boss replaces general manager Jim Popp, who took over on Aug. 1 when the inexperi-enced Dan Hawkins was fired only five games into the 2013 season.

Wetenhall made it clear in a statement that he did not want Popp, who is considered one of the CFL’s best GMs but has a career 16-20 record as a coach, to continue in both jobs.

“As I’ve expressed to the media in recent weeks, I wanted to con-tinue with the formula which has brought us the success we’ve en-joyed these past 17 years - having a full-time head coach and a full-time general man-ager to fill each of these positions,” said Weten-hall.

“The criteria we es-

tablished was to find an individual familiar with the CFL; someone with success in that position and a background as a position coach. In addi-tion, we sought an indi-vidual with a record for moulding and deliver-ing championship teams.

“In Tom’s seven years as a head coach he won three division championships along with a Grey Cup, and twice earned recogni-tion as the CFL’s coach of the year. His head coaching record of 72-53-1 speaks for itself. We welcome Tom to the Alouettes family.”

Popp had made no secret of wanting to continue coaching, but Wetenhall put out a statement recently say-ing candidates would be interviewed.

A year ago, the Alou-ettes waited until Feb. 19 to name Hawkins, a former U.S. university coach with no experi-ence of the Canadian game. He was 2-3 when he was fired with the team in disarray.

Popp, the Alouettes’ GM since they returned to Montreal in 1996, took over as coach for the third time in his ca-reer and went 6-7.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your first impression of a dom-ineering boss might surprise you. You will want to adapt if you are considering working for or with this person. Be more up-beat than you usually are, and this situation is likely to work out. Tonight: Keep a firm hold on your wallet. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might feel intimidated by someone. This person shares so little that you could feel awkward around him or her. Opportunities seem to arise out of the blue. Be willing to allow your creativity to emerge. You know what you need and want. Tonight: In the game of life. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone knows how to get your attention, and he or she will do just that. This person might want to share some ideas with you; however, your re-sponse to being cornered might be so negative that you might not even hear what is being of-fered. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) How you deal with someone is likely to change because of recent events. You could express a need to do something very differently and receive a lot of flak. Be willing to come up with a less shocking approach to the same goal. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will be determined to have a situation work. You’ll want to brainstorm with another imaginative person. Revise your schedule in order to squeeze in a special request. A stalemate between you and a boss seems to continue. Tonight: Run an errand or two on the way home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) An unexpected piece of news could jolt you and force some creative thinking. Communi-cation might not flow as you would like. In fact, you could feel overwhelmed. Revise your thinking, and you will find an-swers. Tonight: Leave problems behind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Understand your resistance. You

might feel as if you are walk-ing down a path to unsteady ground. You’ll wonder what to do and what might be best for you ultimately. Generally, you can transform a situation; however, today you might find it harder. Tonight: Spontaneous works. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Make an effort to reach out to a child or loved one. Understand where this person is coming from in a discussion. You prob-ably don’t realize how serious you can be in your interactions. If others respond strangely, know why.

Understand what is happening between you and someone else. Don’t close down; instead, share your feelings. Tonight: Make it your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Express your sense of respon-sibility, and handle what you

must. Stop trying to insist that others proceed as you do, espe-cially if they don’t agree with your chosen path. You could sur-prise a family member. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Much is going on behind the scenes. You might keep rethink-ing recent events and reframing them. You could be resistant to accepting a difficult situation; instead, use it to empower yourself. Recognize that you can’t always come out on top. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Note an inevitable unpredict-ability when it comes to money and spending. Emphasize your long-term goals, and under-stand that somehow you will need to rope in and tame this problem. You can succeed if you so choose. Tonight: Where the action is.

Dear Annie: My wife of nearly 30 years and I are having some difficulties. Recently, she asked whether I wanted to go to Rome for a business conference. She thought we could see the sights afterward. I said yes, as I’m re-cently retired and have plenty of time. However, a few weeks later, I was uninvit-ed. She said I wouldn’t enjoy the weather. Last week, I discovered that she is staying an extra day with someone else. She made these plans long before she disinvited me. Yesterday, she told me that a woman from work is staying with her for an extra day. I’ve never heard this woman’s name before. These meetings are held once a year in dif-ferent locations, but this is the first time she has stayed any extra time. Additionally, over the past year, her be-havior at work has changed. She has start-ed wearing makeup and nicer clothes. She mentions taking walks with some guy or an-other and having coffee or lunch with some other guy. I’m sure taking a walk with Peter or having coffee with Paul and casual con-versations with Larry are innocent enough. But I’ve noticed that these same guys only interact with attractive women like my wife. My wife doesn’t see a problem, but I know how guys think. I worry that my wife is look-ing beyond me. Am I worrying about noth-ing? -- Anxious in Davis, Calif. Dear Anxious: The fact that your wife wants to be more attractive at work is not necessar-ily a problem. A lot of married people enjoy flirting for the attention and have no interest in pursuing things further. However, when your wife disinvites you to a trip to Europe and then stays an extra day, we would be concerned that she intends to party. Things can get out of hand when you are far away from your spouse and want to impress your work friends with how wild and crazy (and young) you are. It’s time to have an honest conversation with your wife about your con-cerns. If she refuses to explain herself, coun-seling is the next step. Dear Annie: I have a big problem. I am only 49 and have been married twice. My first wife passed away 10 years ago in May, and I am still mourning her death. My new wife of seven years doesn’t think it’s normal that I still think about my first wife all the time. Can you help me deal with her death so I can move on and live a better life? -- Still Grieving Dear Still: There is no timetable for grief, but if you haven’t moved much beyond your initial stages of mourning after 10 years, it’s time to seek professional guidance. It is nor-mal to think about your first wife on occa-sion, but it is not normal to obsess over her, cry daily, turn her closet into a shrine or con-stantly compare her to your current wife. If you are doing any of these things, please ask your doctor to refer you to a grief counselor. Dear Annie: The letter from “Two Scared Parents” motivated me to speak up. People don’t seem to understand that alcoholism is an illness. I am an alcoholic with many years of sobriety. I attend AA meetings and have been to Al-Anon meetings. People whose loved ones have other seri-ous diseases research to find out all they can about the disease. They are usually eager to learn in order to help. So why is it that when it comes to the deadly disease of alcoholism, the family complains, makes excuses and takes no action? They expect the sick person, the one who cannot think clearly due to al-cohol in the brain cells, to be logical. When I ask, “Why don’t you go to Al-Anon?” they tell me it’s not their problem. I realize it’s hard to understand that it is a disease. Please, dear friends, go find out all you can about alcoholism. Take action to help yourself. -- Anonymous Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Teresa De MiguelTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s salamander-like axolotl appar-ently hasn’t disappeared from its only known natural habitat in Mexico City’s few remaining lakes.

Researchers say they have sighted, but not caught, two of the slippery little creatures during a second effort to find them.

A weekslong effort last year by researchers in skiffs trying to net axolotls in the shallow, muddy waters of Xochimilco lake found none, raising fears that they might only now sur-vive in captivity.

But biologist Armando Tovar Garza of Mexico’s Na-tional Autonomous University said Friday that members of the team carrying out the search had seen two axolotls during the first three weeks of a second survey expected to conclude in April.

“We weren’t able to capture them ... because the behaviour of the axolotl makes them very difficult to capture,” Tovar Garza said. “We haven’t had any captures, but we have had two sightings. That’s import-ant, because it tells us we still have a chance.”

The axolotl, admittedly ugly with a slimy tail, plumage-like gills and mouth that curls into an odd smile, is known as the “water monster” and the “Mexican walking fish.” It’s only natural habitat is the Xo-chimilco network of lakes and canals — the “floating gar-dens” of earth piled on reed mats that the Aztecs built to grow crops but are now suffer-ing from pollution, urban sprawl and invasive species.

The creature is import in scientific research because of

its ability to regenerate severed limbs.

Some axolotls still survive in aquariums, water tanks and research labs, but experts said those conditions aren’t the best, because of interbreeding and other risks. Releasing cap-tive-bred axolotls into the wild could spread a fungus infec-tion that is fatal to them and could reduce their genetic di-versity. Tovar Garza said some small mutations, possibly the result of interbreeding, have already been seen.

THe assOCiaTeD Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After 19 rounds in a Missouri county’s annu-al spelling bee over the weekend, only two of the 25 contestants who started the competition remained.

Several hours and 47 rounds later, an 11-year-old and her 13-year-old adversary had used up all of the available words, forcing organizers of the Jackson County Spelling Bee to temporarily halt the showdown.

“It was legendary,” said Mary Olive Thompson, a library outreach manager and co-co-ordinator of the Saturday spelling bee.

Sophia Hoffman, a fifth-grader at Highland Park Elementary School in the Kansas City suburb of Lee’s Summit, and Kush Sharma, a sev-enth-grader at Frontier School of Innovation in Kansas City, buzzed through the list of words provided by the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Then they ran through a list of about 20 additional words bee offi-cials picked out of their Merri-am-Webster’s 11th Edition during the lunch break, The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/NoHizS ) report-ed.

But bee officials decided not to

pull more words from the dictionary because they worried one speller might get a tough word and the other a relatively easy one, which wouldn’t be fair.

Plus, Thompson said, at “about 2 o’clock, I think we were all really tired.”

Saturday’s competition went 66 rounds, she said, while last year’s bee ended after only 21.

“Scherzo,” “fantoccini” and “inta-glio” were among the words Kush correctly spelled in the late rounds, while Sophia nailed words such as “schadenfreude, “mahout” and “ba-rukhzy.”

Both of them missed what Kush said was the hardest word: a “French word; I have no idea how to pro-nounce it. It was a long word.”

With the winner moving on to the national spelling bee in Washing-ton, D.C., in May, both contestants were at the top of their game in the final rounds Saturday, Thompson said

“Sophia and Kush’s eyes were just bright and glowing,” she said. “It was almost magical.”

The contest will resume March 8 at an undetermined library site.

Renzi took office last week after wresting the premiership from fel-low centre-left Democrat Enrico Letta. But in a speech before Parlia-

ment on Monday, Renzi did not say how he plans to get Italy back to work again after the previous three premiers failed to do so.

Italy’s unemployment rate is above 12 per cent, while youth un-employment hovers at 40 per cent.

The White House said the two leaders also discussed continued co-operation on Afghanistan, Libya, trade, security and defence, among other topics. The two leaders are scheduled to meet next month in Rome.
