tightening

Projects include agricultural area plan, review of solid waste management plan

SALLY MACDONALDTownsman Staff

2014 will be a busy year for the Regional District of East Kootenay.

The board of directors approved what Board Chair Rob Gay called an “ambitious” strategic plan for the coming 12 months on Friday, Jan. 10.

“It’s a very large workload this year and I

think we captured most of it,” said Gay.The board set 20 priority projects for

2014, such as an agricultural area plan, a re-view of the solid waste management plan, a review of the unsightly premises bylaw, flood mitigation and flood control projects in the Elk Valley and Fairmont, and zoning bylaw amendments to deal with changed medical marijuana regulations.

“They are all a priority. Number one is not a higher priority than number 11 be-cause different departments do different things,” said Gay.

He told the Townsman that public con-

sultation around whether the RDEK will supply treated water to Windermere is a key priority for 2014.

“Two public meetings were held in Wind-ermere on Dec 30, 2013 which focused on one of the board’s top priorities for 2014: Windermere water consultation which will ultimate lead to a vote/petition for treated water for that community.”

The plan for 2014 follows on from a hec-tic 2013 for the board and staff.

“I believe 2013 has been a successful and very busy year for directors,” said Gay. “Some of our board’s many highlights include ne-

gotiating a three-year collective agreement with our unionized staff, successfully host-ing the AKBLG annual convention, effec-tively dealing with a number of spring emer-gencies, celebrating the opening of our new board room, developing a new partnership with Columbia Basin Trust and BC Hydro resulting in the East Kootenay Energy Diet, approving a number of new Official Com-munity Plans, striving to work within the board’s approved strategic plan, receiving a communications award at UBCM, and host-ing our provincial Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Judith Guichon, OBC.”

Pharmacies out of vaccine

C AROLYN GR [email protected]

Pharmacies in Kimberley have run out of the seasonal flu vaccine, which includes a vaccine for the H1N1 strain that has sent peo-ple to intensive care in the lower mainland and Alberta.

In Alberta the flu vaccine supply has virtu-ally dried up and Albertans are turning to B.C. pharmacies to try to get the vaccine.

“We’ve definitely had a few out of province inquiries,” said Pharmacist Ashley Tait at Kim-berley’s Shoppers Drug Mart. “After the Christ-mas holidays we had visitors trying to get the vaccine before they left because they heard about long lines in Alberta.”

However, those out-of-province inquiries are all being given the same answer — there’s no more vaccine to sell.

Diane Usher recently came across an extremely rare albino elk up by St. Mary’s Lake. Here’s hoping it’s good luck to catch sight of such a one.

StaffDrawing his in-

spiration from country and folk legends like Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash, Merle Travis and the Carter Fam-ily, Steven Palmer will present a joy-ous blending of original and tradi-tional country, folk, gospel, blues and his own songwrit-ing at Lotus Book in Cranbrook, Friday, Jan. 17.

With a voice like a “warm blanket on a cold winter’s night,” according to Jeri-cho Folk Club, or a

“shady tree on a hot summer’s day,” accord-ing to Scott Cook, Palm-

er is equally at home on six-string or 12-string guitar, performing for folk festivals, house concerts and soft seating theatres.

After 40 years as a travelling musi-cian covering a lot of road, Palmer is still playing and still touring, grown enough to sing about life and sim-ple pleasures with all the unhurried authority of a quiet and simple f o l k - s i n g i n g road-survivor.

This time, he is offering music from his new CD, Prairie Airs, a ride through a magical landscape where the gopher is king, jackalo-pes ramble, and the spirits of Louis Riel and Poundmaker survive. This 15-song outing fea-tures Palmer’s signature picking and singing, as well as the added tal-ents of several fine prai-rie musicians.

Steve Palmer plays an intimate book shop “house concert,” at Lotus Books, 33 10th Ave. South, Cranbrook $15 cover. Showtime is 7:30 p.m.

Groovin’ to the blues

For the Bulletin

Centre 64 will be groovin’ to the blues and some good old rock n’ roll this Friday, Janu-ary 17, when one of Kimberley’s most pop-ular dance bands, The Hollers, will be playing at a cabaret-style dance in the C64 dance studio.

This is Kimberley Arts Council’s first fundraiser of the year and arts council presi-dent, Mike Redfern, hopes that lots of folks will take this opportu-nity to support the arts in their community.

“This will be a fun evening for anyone who likes to dance or listen to some good old-fash-ioned blues and rock n’ roll. We’re lucky to have The Hollers play for us, they’re without doubt one of the liveliest

dance bands around. Emilio can belt out numbers like Joe Cock-er and the group knocks out a great dance beat. Their version of ‘Mus-tang Sally’ is something special. It’ll be a lot of

fun.”Tickets are limited to

80, all that can comfort-ably be accommodated at tables in Centre 64’s dance studio. The $25 per person — or $40 per couple — price tag in-

cludes complimentary table nibblies and sup-per snacks to be served before the band’s final set of the night. A no host wine, beer, and soft drink bar will be open from 8 p.m. to

midnight and the band starts playing at 8.30.

Funds raised by this dance will help support Kimberley Arts Coun-cil’s 2014 spring concert series which starts on Wednesday, January 29,

with Daze of Grace opening for interna-tional folk artists Anja McCloskey and Dan Whitehouse. This will be followed by Irish Celtic sensation Caladh Nua on March 30, Ca-

nadian comedian Lorne Elliott of CBC’s ‘Madly Off In All Direc-tions’ on April 13, and The Twisters on May 30.

Meanwhile don’t miss the exhibition of truly dazzling paintings by Kimberley’s Anton Zanesco now on dis-play until February 1 in the Gallery at Centre 64. If you enjoyed the movie ‘Avatar’ you’ll love Zanesco’s floating rock paintings. The gal-lery is open every Tues-day through Saturday and the public is invited to attend a ‘Meet the Artist’ reception in the gallery on Saturday, January 25, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Tickets for the Hol-lers dance are available at Centre 64. Get yours while the going is good.

The Hollers are one of Kimberley’s favourite dance bands. They play this Friday at Centre 64.

From page 1 Supplies of the flu

vaccine to pharmacies in B.C. come from two different sources, Tait explained. The shot which people pay for comes from a different supplier than the public supply from Interior Health, (which can only

go to those with a BC care card).

But at the moment, there is none left of ei-ther.

“We are out of vac-cine,” Tait said. “Last Monday we got a small stock and we went through it quickly. We get our public stock

through Interior Health and this morning we re-ceived a fax saying that effective immediately Interior Health can’t supply pharmacies. They will continue to offer clinics by appoint-ment this week .”

Michelle Gray of Gray’s Compounding

Pharmacy in Marysville says the same.

“We are getting Al-bertans asking about it, but there are no paying shots left. We are wait-ing for Interior Health to get the next shipment of public shots, so we are accumulating a waiting list for those shots.”

A man serving a pris-on sentence for life over a 2007 Cranbrook shooting death will have a re-trial in November.

In 2009, Cheyenne Learn was convicted of second degree murder over the December 2007 shooting death of Tammy Ellis in Cran-brook. He was sen-tenced to life in prison with no hope of parole for 16 years.

However, the B.C. Court of Appeal struck down that conviction in May 2013. Appeal Court Justice Ian Donald said

Learn re-trial date determinedthe trial judge misdi-rected jurors before their verdict by talking about the necessary in-tent required to convict someone of murder.

Justice Donald ordered a new trial for Learn.

In Cranbrook Su-preme Court on Mon-day, Jan. 13, Justice Thomas Melnick set the

date for Learn’s re-trial. The two-week trial will start on Tuesday, Nov. 25 in Cranbrook.

After 40 plus years the Kimberley Air Cadets finally got a new floor at the parade location in Oughtred Hall! Flight Sergeants Andrew MacDonald and Dustin Brooks (with their fathers Jim MacDonald and Ron Brooks) helped to lay over 1000 square feet of Hickory laminate flooring in the hall over the Christmas stand-down. The Kimberley Elks and The Home Depot helped to finance the project and the Cadets also raised money with proceeds from a raffle for a quad and by the delivery of phone books in the Kimberley region.

The Ktunaxa Nation Council and Regional District of East Koo-tenay will work together to draft a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) this year.

The project was supported by the Ktunaxa Nation Council last November, and the Regional Dis-trict of East Kootenay (RDEK) board of directors supported moving ahead with the project on Friday, Jan. 10.

“I think this would be a good step forward,” said board chair Rob Gay.

The first steps to draft an MOU between the RDEK, the munici-

palities within it, and the Ktunaxa Nation Council and its communi-ties were taken in 2007.

However, it stalled when staff brought the project to the RDEK elected officials.

“It got to the point (where) it was time for municipal councils and this board to review. There was a municipal council that was adamantly opposed to proceed-ing with an MOU at that time. So it was dropped and it never pro-ceeded,” Chief Administrative Of-ficer Lee-Ann Crane told the board on Friday.

Since then, the RDEK and Ktu-naxa have continued to collabo-rate, most recently on an Official Community Plan for Koocanusa. Last fall, the Ktunaxa approached

the RDEK about beginning work once more on the MOU, but this time between the RDEK and the Ktunaxa Nation Council only, not the municipalities or bands.

“So the Nation Council is in-terested; they want to continue to do this. They want to have this MOU,” said Crane.

“It’s a step ahead in the con-tinued efforts to solidify our com-munication and working rela-tionships both with the Nation Council,” said Crane.

The two governments will work together this year to draft the Memorandum of Under-standing around land use plan-ning and development manage-ment.

Ktunaxa, RDEK to collaborate


OpiniOn/EvEnts

“Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool.”

It looks very much as if there might be a “murder of crows” gathering on the rotting snows of my lawn. I’ve no

idea which individual bird called the “mur-der” but I hope he or she doesn’t have my murder in mind. I never know what is going on behind those beady eyes when they sit outside on my balcony rail and scowl at me.

Now, I should have no fear of the local crows — or ravens, or whatever — as I have been feed-ing them scraps of bread-crust, lumps of fat off the roasts, dried out cookies and all sorts of nourishing fare, but I am afraid I slipped up yesterday. I placed out on my balcony rail by the kitchen door a great deal of unwanted pastry that I’d prepared for dinner that evening. I had promised myself and some favoured friends some sausage rolls – I am a sausage roll fanatic – but some things went amiss.

Bertrand Russell said that anything a person is good at contributes to that per-son’s happiness. I am not good at making pastry. Walt Disney reckons that it is fun to do the impossible. Pastry making is almost impossible for me; it is also no fun at all.

Since my retirement from the work-a-day world, I have enjoyed cooking. My

beloved eventually gave up trying to throw me bodily from the kitchen and there have been some notable successes over the years and quite a few dismal failures, and most of the failures have been with pastry.

I arose just a little after dawn yesterday with those sausage rolls in mind. I had purchased some sausage meat but for-gotten the pre-prepared pastry so, undeterred, I hauled out the cook book, the flour, the lard and the butter plus all the neces-sary accoutrements. I put

on my newly acquired apron and set to work; it was going to get messy.

I have known for years that it is com-pulsory for the cook to have cold hands for pastry making and so stuck my hand under the cold tap, then in the ice tray, then into the deep freeze for a short while. Outside, a solitary crow watched me with suspicion.

With hands frozen to the elbows, I meted out the flour, added the necessary pinch of salt then set about the onerous task of mixing in the lard. One is supposed to chop it in with two knives, but I’ve never managed. I use one knife wildly then re-sort to the potato basher.

I refroze my hands as they had painful-ly thawed. Another crow joined the first and they both watched me warily.

When it came to adding the spoonsful of cold water my culinary world went pear-shaped. When I attempted to make a ball of the mixture, it turned out to be too crumbly. I added a tad more water as a third crow joined the onlookers. I threw some flour on the countertop and tried balling up the pastry once more. It wouldn’t glue together so I slammed it on to the flat surface and pummelled it flat, sort of.

When I hauled out the rolling pin, chaos rook over. Like the ancient conti-nent of Pangea, my pastry drifted inexora-bly apart, and I wondered if one of the crows might be selling tickets to the show.

When, at last, I had attained a reason-ably flat layer of pastry, I daubed it with liquid mustard and then began to roll out the pork filling, but calamity followed ca-tastrophe. The sausage rolls wouldn’t roll; the pastry was firmly adhered to the counter top and had to be prised loose with the knife.

I did cook a few sausage rolls but most of the mess went out on to the balcony rail where the crows, with jaundiced eyes on my culinary failures, took a few tentative steps forward.

Maybe it was the awful pastry; possibly it was the mustard, but the crows took one tiny nibble then, screeching “never more” like Alexander Poe’s raven, they fled.

Now they’re back planning my demise.

General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who led the coup against Egypt’s elected president last July, has one of the

finest collections of military headgear in the entire Middle East. Perhaps that’s why he has still not admitted that he plans to become the next president: he can’t decide which hat to throw into the ring.

His own explanation for his shyness comes straight out of the Aspiring Dictator’s Handbook: “If I nominate myself, there must be a popular de-mand, and a mandate from my army,” he told the state-owned paper Al-Ah-ram.“When Egyptians say something, we obey, and I will never turn my back on Egypt.”

Egyptian generals are deeply patriotic people, and three others before Sisi have sacrificed their own desire for a quiet life in order to rule Egypt: Gamal Abdel Nass-er (1956-70), Anwar Sadat (1970-81) and Hosni Mubarak (1981-2011). In fact, the last three years have been the only time in the life of the great majority of Egyptians when a general has not been running the country, and Sisi seems ready to make the supreme sacrifice too.

A mandate from the army shouldn’t be hard to get, since he runs the whole or-ganisation. And as far as “popular de-mand” is concerned, Sisi is clearly plan-ning to use a “yes” vote in this week’s ref-erendum on the new constitution as proof that the people want him for president.

The new constitution will be the third in four years. It replaces the one that was written and adopted (also by referendum) during the brief, unhappy rule of Presi-dent Mohamed Morsi, who took office on 30 June, 2012, and was overthrown on 3 July, 2013. It removes the “Islamic” chang-es that Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood wrote into the last one, which should appeal to

secular Egyptians, but that’s not what makes it attractive to General Sisi.

The new clauses that only a soldier could love include one that gives the Egyptian military the right to appoint the defence minister, and another that says the military budget will not be subject to civilian oversight. It also retains the

much-criticised clause that allows civilians to be tried in military courts. Sisi reck-ons enough civilians will vote for it anyway, some because they hate the Isla-mists and some because they are just tired of all the upheavals.

Maybe they will, because the whole Arab world is suffering from revolution fatigue: the “Arab awakening” has caused such turbulence that many people would find a return to the old dictatorships al-most comforting. It’s true even in Syria, where some of the rebels are starting to talk about making a deal with the Assad regime in order to isolate the Islamist ex-tremists and hasten the end of the war.

There has been no war in Egypt, but about a thousand of Morsi’s supporters were massacred in the streets of Cairo by the “security forces” last summer, and the Muslim Brotherhood has been declared a terrorist organisation. There have been many thousands of arrests, not only of senior Muslim Brotherhood members but recently of secular critics of the of the mil-itary regime as well.

Egyptians are frightened and exhaust-ed, and Sisi apparently thinks they will gratefully accept a return to army rule (behind a democratic facade). But his nervousness is showing: there’s barely a wall in Cairo that is not covered with “Yes” posters and pictures of Sisi, while people trying to put up “No” posters get arrested. Sisi is probably right to be nervous.

In late September, three months after

the coup, Zogby Research Services car-ried out an extensive opinion poll in Egypt for the Sir Bani Yas Forum in Abu Dhabi. It revealed that confidence in the army had already dropped from 93 percent to 70 percent, and it probably has gone on dropping.

General Sisi and former President Morsi had almost equal support in the country – 46 percent for Sisi, 44 percent for Morsi (who now faces trial for “incit-ing his supporters to carry out premedi-tated murder” and various other alleged crimes).

But Morsi’s trial was postponed last week from 8 January to 1 February, al-legedly because bad weather prevented him from being flown from his prison in Alexandria to Cairo for the trial. That’s a rather long spell of bad weather, and be-sides it’s only two and a half hours by road from Alexandria to Cairo. One suspects that the military regime did not want Morsi to make his first public appearance since the coup just before the referen-dum.

The Zogby poll also revealed that an overwhelming majority of respondents blame the last military regime, under Hosni Mubarak, for the problems facing Egypt today. All in all, this is hardly a firm foundation on which to complete the counter-revolution and build a new mili-tary regime.

The likeliest outcome of the referen-dum on the new constitution this week (Tuesday and Wednesday) will be a mod-est majority for the “Yes”, but on a very low turnout. If it is lower than the mere 33 percent who voted in the referendum on the last constitution in 2012, then Sisi may have to reconsider his plan to run for the presidency.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2014

Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s latest visit to B.C. was portrayed as these things are today: besieged by protest-

ers, hiding from an ever-vigilant media, cyn-ically campaigning for the 2015 federal elec-tion.

TV couldn’t get enough of the two “envi-ronmental activists” who dressed as waiters to slip on-stage at a business breakfast in Vancouver.

They’re not environmen-talists, just all-purpose pro-testers using the flavour of the month. They are associ-ated with a group calling it-self “No One Is Illegal,” a col-lection of anarchist kooks that wants to do away with national borders, and of course capitalism.

As their now-famous sign said, they want “climate justice now.” Organizer Brigette DePape explained to a co-opera-tive CBC TV host that the recent typhoon in the Philippines that killed thousands of people was caused by global warming, which of course is caused mainly by the Alberta “tar sands.”

I won’t dwell on this routine idiocy, ex-cept to say the number of hurricanes that struck North America in 2013 was zero, and that hasn’t happened since 1994. Also, “cli-mate justice” is like “social justice,” in that both require confiscation of earned wealth.

DePape is the former Senate page fired

in 2011 for a similar sign stunt. She’s now a professional Harper hater, with support from the U.S.-based Tides Foundation among others.

One of the issues Harper didn’t take questions on was the consolidation of 11 federal fisheries libraries into two, one of

them in Sidney, B.C.This is portrayed as part of

Harper’s so-called “war on science,” and has been com-pared with the Romans burn-ing the library of Alexandria in ancient Egypt.

Fisheries Minister Gail Shea defended the cost-cut-ting measure by pointing out

that almost all access to these libraries is now digital, so maintaining 11 duplicated sets of printed reports is a waste of taxpayer dollars.

An anonymous federal scientist fired back on his blog that the head of one of these libraries retired before the contents could even be catalogued, much less com-pletely digitized for online access.

So this material wasn’t even properly organized? Users were supposed to browse until they stumbled on something perti-nent?

The ministry reported that the average number of people other than federal fisher-ies staff who used these libraries averaged between five and 12 per year. That’s for all 11 facilities combined. And if anyone has

even one example of information that was available and isn’t now, they should identi-fy it.

Harper’s got plenty to answer for, no question. To take one of many examples, spending our borrowed money on TV ads for a “Canada Job Grant” program that hasn’t even been introduced in Parliament, much less set up, isn’t just wasteful. It’s dishonest and cruelly misleading to the unemployed people the ads pretend to offer help.

Harper’s visit to B.C. added a couple of scripted events, starting with softball ques-tions at the Vancouver business breakfast. Then he was off to a photo op at the Kinsol trestle on Vancouver Island, where he an-nounced three more years of funding for the Trans-Canada Trail.

I’m as relieved as anyone that Harper is not killing this modest federal project that started in 1992, but this is not news. It was a fake public event to justify the cost of a trip so Harper could address a new Conserva-tive riding association.

And how is the federal deficit after eight years of tight-fisted Conservative rule? We’re only borrowing about $1 billion a month now, down from the Harper govern-ment all-time record deficit of $55 billion in 2009.

Some cost cutting is in order all right.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Zach Franko is look-ing good in the blue and white colours of the Koo-tenay Ice.

The newcomer was an integral part of Koote-nay’s offence against the Edmonton Oil Kings on Sunday evening, contrib-uting a pair of goals to-wards the 5-4 win.

Acquired from the Kelowna Rockets two days before the WHL trade deadline last week, the Ice gave up a sixth-round pick (2014) and a third-round pick (2016) in return.

The trade situation for Franko developed when the Rockets land-ed Marek Tvrdon, who was sent back to ma-jor-junior after playing most of his season in the ECHL with the Toledo Walleye within the sys-tem of the Detriot Red Wings.

Kelowna acquired Tvrdon from the Van-couver Giants for a first-round pick, which gave them four 20-year-old players with only three available spots.

Kootenay Ice GM Jeff Chynoweth got in touch with his counterpart in Kelowna, Bruce Hamil-ton, and got the deal done in roughly five

minutes. “It was really a

no-brainer for us,” Chynoweth said. “As I said leading up to the trade deadline, we want-ed to add an older for-ward and Zach fits the bill exactly the way we want. Two hundred ca-reer points, played with a winning organization, knows what it takes to win, I think a legitimate top-six forward who’s only going to help our hockey club.”

Franko knew some-thing was up when he met with his coach, Ryan Huska, who deliv-ered the trade news.

“I was bummed out for a bit, but I’m thrilled to be here to help the Ice move on,” said Franko, who had spent his entire four-year WHL career with the Rockets.

Franko had already faced the Ice earlier this year as a member of the Rockets when Kootenay went on their B.C. Divi-sion road trip, but he was already well-aware of their reputation.

“I know they played my style of a game,” Franko said. “They’re an up-tempo team that’s very good. Offensively, they have a couple guys that are really hot in the scoring standings and guys that I like to play with.

“That’s why the tran-sition has been fairly easy, is because guys think the game like me and when you can do that, good things will come.”

Good things certainly came on Sunday with his two goals against Ed-monton, which edged him over the 200-point mark of his career.

“It’s pretty cool,” Franko said. “The play-ers that I played with in Kelowna and here, it’s a pretty big milestone for me, and it reminds me of the times I’ve had in Kelowna and the times I’m going to have here.

“I just want to come here and contribute and do whatever I can for this team to make a playoff push and make some hay in the play-offs.”

Kootenay is with a full complement of 20-year-olds with Fran-ko, defenceman Jagger

Dirk and forward Zach McPhee. The team spent most of last season with only two overage veter-ans in Joey Leach and Brock Montgomery after Drew Czerwonka retired due to injury concerns.

Chynoweth said he kept the overage spot open because he want-ed to make sure he found the right player to fill it.

“We’ve made a lot of changes this year, I think we’ve added five new players from the start of the year and released and traded a few veter-

ans from last year,” said Chynoweth. “We’re a team that doesn’t make a lot of changes. We build through the ban-tam draft and unfortu-nately we weren’t in a position with the 1993-age group to do that, and we wanted to make sure we got the right one.

“I know from Zach’s end, and speaking with him, he’s quite excited about our program, he knows about our suc-cess and I think he’s going to be a welcome addition to all aspects of our game.”

ZURICH, Switzer-land - Cristiano Ronal-do has won the FIFA Ballon d’Or award for 2013, ending Lionel Messi’s four-year run as the world’s best player.

Ronaldo scored 69 goals for Real Madrid and Portugal last year, and his stunning hat trick against Sweden in a decisive World Cup playoff was perhaps the defining individual per-

formance.“There are no words

to describe this mo-ment,” said Ronaldo, who was sobbing in tears after he accepting the trophy with his young son, also named Cristiano, beside him on stage.

He defeated Barcelo-na’s Messi and France winger Franck Ribery, who helped Bayern Mu-nich to a sweep of major titles.

Voting was done by national team captains and coaches, plus se-lected journalists, in FI-FA’s 209 member coun-tries.

Ronaldo rolled back his head and closed his eyes, smiling, when Bra-zil great Pele, after a dra-matic pause and smile, read out his name. He kissed his girlfriend, model Irina Shayk, be-fore going up to the stage.

daily townsman / daily Bulletin

Dear Annie: I have been in a commit-ted relationship for a year. Admittedly, my girlfriend and I (we are lesbians) rushed into things. We moved in together quick-ly when she broke up with her girlfriend of five years. After the first month, “Dennie” cheated on me with her ex. I wrote it off, but a few months later, she cheated again. I have generalized anxiety disorder and started to associate going to work with Dennie’s cheat-ing, which made my work life miserable.

Shortly after all of this happened, I emo-tionally cheated with an ex of my own. I ad-mitted this to Dennie. She was angry and sad, but I said she should give me a second chance because I’d already given her two. I deleted my ex’s phone number and blocked her in all forms of communication.

I recently found out that Dennie visited her ex when she was briefly in the hospital. It wasn’t cheating, but we had agreed that one of the conditions of continuing our re-lationship is that all contact with the exes must be stopped. One month later, Dennie cheated on me again with this same girl -- in our home. It’s hard for me to look at Dennie the same way. My head keeps telling me to let her go, but my heart isn’t ready.

I’ve asked Dennie to go with me for coun-seling, but she says she wants us to work it out on our own. She says she isn’t the only one at fault. We’ve both made mistakes, but the difference is that I’ve learned from mine. I can’t continue unless we both can be faith-ful. What should I do? -- Cheated On Again

Dear Cheated On: Dennie is not yet over her ex, and you seem well aware of it. You were her rebound. You desperately want Dennie to be someone she is not, and it isn’t working out. Unless you want your heart broken over and over, please let her go. Even if she doesn’t return to her ex, her next re-lationship might not be with you. If you can accept this outcome, you can move forward.

Dear Annie: Growing up, I thought if I had siblings, I would have learned how to get along with others my own age. But now that I have reached the ripe old age of 70, I am grateful to have been an only child. Here’s why:

There was enough money to send me to college. I have read countless letters in your column complaining about siblings and have listened to the complaints of my friends about theirs. I knew it was totally on me to make decisions about my parents’ health as they became unable to do so, with no arguments from siblings.

So for your readers out there who are thinking of stopping after one child, I say good idea. -- Only Child in Massachusetts

Dear Child: We are glad you have em-braced your status. But for every person who is happy to be an only child, you will find others who could not imagine their lives without their loving siblings. Granted, peo-ple complain about their relatives, and when it comes to advice columns, you are more likely to read about problems. We know that siblings can drive you crazy -- so can spous-es and parents. But a good relationship with a brother or sister can be a source of comfort throughout life.

Dear Annie: “A Loving and Lonely Grand-ma” said her teenage granddaughter avoids her because of her raspy voice. At least one of the parents is complicit in the girl’s be-havior. I can understand her being embar-rassed. Teenagers can be embarrassed by your breathing. But sometime in the distant past, her parents should have stopped the behavior, saying, “How would you feel if someone treated you like that because you had a different voice?” It’s a teaching mo-ment. -- S.B.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Pressure’s tendrils will find their way into the best of situations. As a result, many people might act in an odd or divisive manner. If you step back and observe what is happening, you could start laughing at everything that is going on. Tonight: Happy at home.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might decide to head down a certain path only to discover that it is fraught with boulders. Rethink your choices. Make calls, and get feedback. Luck seems to appear just as certain issues dissolve. Tonight: Move quickly. Touch base with a loved one.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be smart when handling funds. Someone could make an ap-pealing offer. This person’s words will mean nothing until you check out their validity. A friend who often shares some unique ideas could surprise you. Tonight: Take a hard look at your budget. Is it working?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be taken aback by someone’s childish behavior. You often put this person on a pedestal, but today he or she could fall off. Perhaps you have been projecting your own ideals instead of seeing reality. Take off your rose-colored glasses. Tonight: Make a caring gesture.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Continue to do your share of listening. Understand what your expectations are regarding someone you admire. This per-son could give you quite a jolt. Recognize what is happening below the surface, and act on those feelings. Tonight: Hope-fully not to be found.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Move forward, and understand what a meeting and its mes-sage are really about. You know you can count on certain sup-porters; brainstorm with them more often. You might want to indulge a close loved one, but a partner could become jealous. Tonight: Where the action is.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Think twice before assuming the helm of the ship. Remember

that many responsibilities come with this position. Recognize your limits. Know what can be done in order to salvage a rapidly deteriorating situation. Changes might profoundly affect you. Tonight: Start a project.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Reach out for a different per-spective. Step back and take a look at the big picture. You will see matters in a new light after some reflection. Your deci-sions also will mirror a new and unique quality. Give yourself the luxury of choice. Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might believe all is well un-der the advisement of a partner, but you will discover otherwise. A child could become quite rebellious and difficult all of a sudden. Be more in touch with what your limits are. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s suggestion.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Someone might want to do things his or her way. Hand this person the reins and see what happens. Sometimes people

just instinctively react to your position and determination. Let them walk in your shoes, and they will learn a lot. Tonight: Juggle different invitations.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your decision to accomplish certain tasks demands focus. Some of you might want to screen your calls. Unfortunately, someone might misread your lack of availability and take it personally. Have a conversation, hopefully to cool this person down. Tonight: Head home.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your imagination comes to the rescue, no matter what you do or where you are. You could find it difficult to convince a loved one, friend or associate of your solution. This person might be too into the drama to let go. Don’t worry so much. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomor-row. BORN TODAYRapper LL Cool J (1968), mili-tary commander Benedict Ar-nold (1741), theologian Albert Schweitzer (1875) ***

Ethel May Busch (McConville)

Ethel was born June 30, 1919 in Ponteix, Saskatchewan. She was the third of six children born to Thomas and Ellen McConville. Ethel grew up on a farm near Swift Current and attended Quimper School. She worked briefly in Calgary, then returned to the farm where she met and married the new school teacher,

William (Bill) John Busch, in Nov. 1943. They raised three daughters while living in Cranbrook and North Vancouver and were happily married for 66 years.

Ethel was an avid bowler, and enjoyed both five pin and lawn bowling. She will always be remembered for her impish sense of humour, her competitive spirit, her passion for games and her life long love of chocolate.

Ethel passed away peacefully on Jan 5, 2014 at the age of 94. She was predeceased by her husband Bill, her brothers, Walter and Jim, and her sister Minnie. She will be sadly missed by her sisters, Isabelle Cadel and Olive Hannah (Jim), daughters Diane Powell (Brian), Shirley Gordon (Rob), and Peggy Busch/Kowalewski (Andy), 6 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to thank the caring staff at Hollyburn House in West Van. and the Doctors and Nurses on 7 East at Lions Gate Hospital.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday January 18, 2014 at Highlands United Church, 3255 Edgemont Blvd., North Vancouver.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lions Gate Hospital, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or a charity of your choice.

VALEMOUNT, B.C. — No ve-hicles were caught under a large avalanche that rolled over High-way 16 and blocked off traffic on Monday near Mount Robson on the Alberta-B.C.. boundary, said RCMP.

The 400-metre-wide slide of snow and debris came down at about 9:30 in the morning.

Initially, RCMP said they weren’t sure if any vehicles were under the heavy, packed snow.

Greg Bruce, district operations manager with the Transportation Ministry, said they have con-firmed no vehicles were caught by the slide and no one was in-jured.

However, RCMP said that a person in a pickup truck did at-tempt to get through the slide and became stuck in the debris and packed snow.

No detours were available to get around the slide.

Bruce said an avalanche tech-nician was over at the slide as-sessing the potential danger Monday afternoon. Avalanche control was expected to begin im-mediately after the assessment.

“The area has received 50 to

60 centimetres of snow over the last three days,’’ he said in an in-terview.

“Snowpack levels at our Rob-son weather station, which is re-ally close to where the avalanche took place, is sitting at a higher level than we’ve seen it in the last 20 years at this time.’’

The heavy snow over the weekend was followed by a del-uge of heavy rain Monday.

“Conditions deteriorated rap-idly,’’ Bruce said.

Flagger crews were at both ends of the slide, and in Tete Jaune, McBride, Valemount and Jasper, Alta.

Highway 1 is also closed in-definitely due to the avalanche danger, and Bruce said he can-not guess when it will be re-opened.

Canadian Avalanche Centre forecaster Eirik Sharp said the most dangerous areas are cur-rently parts of the Sea-to-Sky highway on B.C.’s south coast, and the Columbia Mountain re-gion in the Interior.

While the danger of natural avalanches has subsided since the weekend, backcountry en-thusiasts should be wary of the

heightened threat of human-trig-gered slides, Sharp said from Revelstoke.

“People are going to be chomping at the bit,’’ he said. “Riding conditions across the province haven’t been very good until this point and on the surface now with this good load of snow, things are looking really good.’’

However, weak layers of snow from a snowfall in early Decem-ber have created a hidden dan-ger for people enticed by fresh snow, Sharp said.

“Until we get more evidence that those layers are settling out and being less of a problem, con-servative decision-making is definitely going to be the best strategy for staying safe in the backcountry, and avoiding large open terrain,’’ he said.

“It’s kind of like crossing a mine field right now. On a slope there are weak points where your likelihood to trigger an ava-lanche is increased.

“You could be lucky and you could run through the mine field and not touch one of them, but if you were to step on one of those mines, the consequences are going to be significant.’’

EDMONTON — An Alberta soldier with post-traumatic stress disorder says she’s dis-appointed Air Canada wouldn’t allow her dog on board a plane as a service animal.

Sgt. Shirley Jew says the airline told her PTSD isn’t recognized as a disability that re-quires a service dog.

She says staff told her she’d have to travel with her dog as a pet — for a $50 fee.

Air Canada has apologized in a state-ment, calling the mat-ter a misunderstand-ing.

It says it allows trained service animals for customers with dis-abilities, if they are confirmed by a doc-tor’s note.
