FOR THE TOWNSMANOn Monday, January

12, 2015, Cranbrook RCMP received a call of two quads stolen from the Cross Road area of Cranbrook. One of the quads is a red, 2007 Ya-maha Kodiak 450cc.

This quad has a home-made brown plywood box with a back rest at-tached. The second quad is a camo coloured Yamaha Kodiak 450cc. This quad has a custom made metal silencer welded to the factory

muffler.Both quads were sto-

len overnight from two separate residences. A dark coloured pick up truck towing an empty trailer was seen earlier in the evening and a ve-hicle was heard running

near the roadway at around midnight.

Cranbrook RCMP is asking anyone with any information about these quad thefts to call the Cranbrook Detachment at 250-489-3471 or Crimestoppers.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYIt’s a new year and now that the

2014 calendar has rolled over, there is a new board of directors for the Cran-brook and District Chamber of Com-merce.

Heading up the executive branch of the board is Dave Struthers, with Chris Thom serving as vice president. Chris Botterill takes on second vice president duties, while Jeanette Sis-sons will serve as treasurer. As past president, Dave Butler will still have a presence in the organization.

Nicole Anker, Brian Rhodes, Bren-na Baker, Carrie Schafer, Heather Jackson, Igor Gallyamov, Jane Camp-bell, Jason Fast, Joey Hoechsmann and Ryan Gibbard will all serve as directors on the Chamber board.

Chamber members will get a chance to see the new executive and board at the inaugural meeting on

Jan. 23 at the Heritage Inn. However, the event is more than

just the unveiling of the new board as the Chamber will also present the Citizen of the Year award to Derek Kortschaga, who captured the nomi-nation in December.

Looking ahead, the Chamber is working on keeping and expanding membership under the direction of newcomer David Hull, who took over the executive director position vacat-ed by Karin Penner, who recently re-tired after 31 years with the organiza-tion.

“We’re working quite diligently right now—the staff is—we’re look-ing at all the things the Chamber does, making sure it’s what we want to do and provide the best value to our members,” said Hull.

• Love is Strange sponsored by snapd for January 22, 7 pm at the Columbia Theatre. After nearly four de-cades together, Ben (John Lithgow) and George (Alfred Molina) finally tie the knot in an idyllic wedding cere-mony in lower Manhat-tan. But when George loses his job soon after, the couple must sell their apartment and - victims of the relentless New York City real es-tate market - temporar-ily live apart until they can find an affordable new home. Ben and George are further challenged by the inter-generational tensions and capricious family dynamics of their new living arrangements. John Lithgow will bring his fabulous sense of humour to the screen for sure.

• Sunshine on Leith sponsored by BDO for February 5, 7 p.m. at the Columbia Theatre.

According to critics, “this film is a jubilant, heartfelt musical about the power of home, the hearth, family and love. It is the tale of one tight-knit family, and the three couples bound to it, as they experience the joys and heartache that punctuate all rela-tionships. And they do it all while singing to the euphoric music of The Proclaimers.”

be compared to any other theater work, be-cause its purpose is so different. Two dilapi-dated bums fill their days as painlessly as they can. They wait for Godot, a personage who will explain their interminable insignifi-cance, or put an end to it. They are resourceful, with quarrels and their dependence on each other, as children are. They pass the time ‘which would have passed anyway.’ A bru-tal man of means comes by, leading a weakling slave who does his bidding like a mechanical doll. Later on he comes back, blind, and his slave is mute, but the relation-ship is unchanged. Every day a child comes from the unknown Godot, and evasively puts the big arrival off until tomorrow…It is a tragic view. Yet, in per-formance, most of it is brilliant, bitter come-dy…It is a portrait of the dogged resilience of a man’s spirit in the face of little hope.”

Arne PetryshenThe cold spell of late

is about to take a turn over the weekend as the weather forecast calls for highs of up to +5.

Lisa Coldwells, me-teorologist with Envi-ronment Canada, noted that the Cranbrook area has been in the modi-fied Arctic air.

“So very typical sort of temperatures for this past week or so. Day-time highs are about -3 and overnight lows dip-ping down to about -10, -12.”

She said there was not much in the way of precipitation, but mixes of sun and cloud.

“That’s going to con-tinue until the end of this week,” she said. “There might not be as many sunny breaks, and you might be in the cloudy end of things if you’re right in town.”

But she said head up to the ski hill in Kimber-ley or Fernie and you can bask in the sunshine of the low clouds.

Over the weekend she did see a change coming.

“The weather pattern that has been a broad-scale upper ridge, which gives a very cold, very

benign weather will change,” she said.

It is going to be changing as a low comes in off the Pacific.

“That will allow the Pacific weather storms to move in quite quickly, of course most of the precipitation happens on the coast as rain, but as these systems skip across the mountains there is a chance of hav-ing some light snow ac-tivity on the Friday night, into the Saturday morning,” she said, add-ing that she doubted it would be much more than a few centimetres.

The system will also bring in more warm air as they pass over the mountain ranges to get here.

“By the time they are moving through, they allow the warmer air to come down to the sur-face. So daytime highs are going to actually start to rise and we’ll see daytime highs of about +5 over the weekend.”

Overnight she say temperatures would still dip down below -5.

That milder weather will continue on into next week.

“It’s warm, but not record warm,” she said.

A Kimberley Nordic Club skier has been chosen not only to represent BC at the Canada Winter Games, but also to rep-resent Canada in Kazahkstan at World Under-23 Champion-ships.

That skier is Colin Ferrie from Kimberley.

From Feb. 1-8, Ferrie will be in the Eastern European country of Kazahkstan.

Ferrie was in Collingwood, Ontario, this past weekend, where he’d just competed in the U-23 Trials.

On Jan. 8, Ferrie competed in the 30 km skiathlon (15 km classic followed by a 15 km skate) and came in fifth over-

all, but second in the U-23 standing.

“That was a mass start so I stuck with the pack most of the way, and people were eventu-ally dropping off, but I stuck with the leaders for most of it and finished fifth in the open category,” he said.

In terms of the Classic Sprint, Ferrie did just the qual-ifying round, and not the heats, to save his energy for the 15 km skate. In the skate on Sunday, Ferrie was again second in the U-23 category.

“That qualified me for a spot on the Under-23 Canadi-an Team to go Worlds in Ka-zahkstan,” Ferrie said.

On Tuesday he was on his

way back across the country in preparation for a competition in Canmore this weekend. Shortly after that he will fly out for the competition in Kazahk-stan, which takes place Feb. 1-8.

He said he is looking for-ward to it.

“It will be really interesting to see how I compare against the world’s best under-23 ski-ers,” he said. “It will be my first time racing overseas.”

He added one of his team-mates trained in Europe. “So hopefully I can pick up some advice from him.”

Later in February he is headed to the Canada Winter Games in Prince George.

There he will be joined by Kimberley Nordic Club team-mate Molly Miller. It will be Miller’s first Games and Ferrie said she has the potential to go to two more down the road.

“It’s phenomenal,” he said. Ferrie wanted to thank the

Kimberley Nordic Club, as well as the Black Jack Nordic Club in Rossland as well.

Colin trains in Rossland. Two of his Black Jack team-mates, David Palmer and Ju-lien Locke were also selected to Team BC. All three are in their second year racing in the Open Men’s category which pits them against against Olympians and members of Canada’s National team.

VICTORIA - British Colum-bia’s prisons are overcrowded, tension-filled facilities that do little to prevent inmates from returning to crime when re-leased.

That’s the conclusion of a re-port by auditor general Carol Bellringer who is recommend-ing changes to provincial adult

custody facilities and the pro-grams they run.

Bellringer calls on the gov-ernment to develop and imple-ment a performance framework that includes goals and targets to achieve safe and secure prisons that reduce criminal behaviour.

The audit says B.C. jails, which held 16,000 people last year, are operating at 140 per

cent capacity, with more than half of the inmates sharing cells meant for one person.

The auditor says provincial jails succeed in providing ac-commodation for inmates, but little else because only one in five programs offered has been shown to cuts repeat offences.

The audit says jails will re-main overcrowded despite the

addition of 800 new cells at the Surrey pre-trial centre and a new facility in the Okanagan.

Late last year, Liberal back-bencher Laurie Throness com-pleted a report that recom-mended jails introduce more apprenticeship training pro-grams in order to offer inmates skills they can use to find work once they are released.

News and notes from the RDEKHighlights from the January 9 Board meeting

“We’re really focused on going back to our roots and being a mem-ber-based organization. As a profes-sional business organization of choice, we’re always looking to repre-sent our members and to vigorously promote and defend trade and com-merce in the area.

“To that end, we’re having a strate-gic planning session with the board and a facilitator in a couple weeks and that’ll set our direction for 2015 and a fair bit of 2016.”

Just two weeks into the job, Hull has six years of experience as execu-tive director of the Abbotsford Cham-ber of Commerce and worked for 12 years in management consulting.

“This Chamber has a storied repu-tation among what I call ‘Chamber-land’ to be a real well-run Chamber,” said Hull. “Certainly Karin Penner has laid a foundation for me that is second to none. All I need to do is take her good work and keep build-ing on top of that.”

Right now, the Chamber has a

membership of roughly 475, with 500 being the goal, according to Hull. Smaller towns tend to have a larger percentage of chamber membership as opposed to larger cities, he added.

A basic measurement is looking at the number of memberships versus the number of business licences.

“We’re at about the 27-28 per cent mark of business licenses, which is good,” Hull said. “It’s not where I want it to be, but it’s a good start.”

Attracting new memberships is al-ways a goal, but Hull is looking at putting a retention plan together to make sure existing members remain within the fold.

“That’s really going to be our focus in 2015 is retention, and we’re going to do that by communication. We do provide relevancy to members but we’re not really good—this is we the collective Chamber movement—we’re not really good at having our message out there and our good work well-known.”

daryl CalderKimberley and area residents

probably wondered what we were doing on the first Sunday of Janu-ary. Ten of us, from Cranbrook, Fernie, Ta Ta Creek and Kimber-ley, were searching for wild birds because of the 115th annual Christmas Bird Count.

Our area, the standard sized 24 kilometer diameter circle, is cen-tered at the junction of Highway 95A and the Lost Dog Ranch Road. The circle includes many of the diverse habitats which char-acterize this part of the Rocky Mountain Trench. The edges of the circle provide some of the best spots for birding; the St Mary River near Mark Creek, the Wy-cliffe-Clearview grasslands, Wasa Lake and Wolf Creek feeders, Ta Ta Creek woodlands and the urban areas of Kimberley and Marysville. We formed 4 groups to tackle the 4 quadrants as thor-oughly as possible during the 9-5 p.m. session. It was cool, calm and grey, and at times it seemed that birds were scarce. Always on the lookout for surprises, we knew from experience that there would be ups and downs. An unexpect-ed flock of Wild Turkeys or an American Robin perched on a spruce tip buoyed our spirits.

The American Goldfinch is a lovely creature indeed! During the winter, the male goldfinches are dull in color, like the females, and look like small, yellowish spar-rows. They are gregarious, being found in small or medium-sized flocks. When spring arrives, the goldfinches move northward, but this time, the males have their bright lemon-yellow color, with black wings and tail, and black caps on their heads. The females remain dull in color, for natural protection. Except during the nesting season, it is a sociable bird that seeks it’s own kind with which to feed and fly. In winter, it mingles with its relatives – the redpolls and siskins – feeding in weedy fields and in orchards close to wooded areas.

You’d think these would be among our first birds to nest, but actually they are some of the last! The reason is because of thistles. They use the thistle down to line their pretty nests and thistle seeds to feed their young. One might easily learn a lesson in patience

from the goldfinches, waiting pa-tiently for the indispensible this-tle, while seeing all the other birds on every side going ahead with the excitement of building their nests and raising their broods.

When nesting season arrives, the female selects a small tree or the outstretched branch of a larg-er tree. The tree may be in an open field, often along a brook, or along the edge of woods over-looking a field. She builds a neat cup of felted plant fibers and sil-very milkweed bark lined with thistle down. The nest is similar to those of various warblers, but dif-fers from them in being wider than it is tall. Altogether it is a beautiful work of art, woven so tightly that it can hold water. Usu-ally the nest is shaded by clusters of leaves or needles from above, but often open and visible from below. Flying high in wide circles around the tree chosen for the nesting site, the male, upon alighting nearby, proceeds to pour forth his sweet canary-like song to the busily engaged fe-male. She answers with a plain-tive little phrase which has an in-describable charm.

Seven days are required in which to finish the nest, and then the 5 or 6 pale blue unspotted eggs are laid, one a day. The male feeds the female on the nest while she is setting, and when receiving food she flutters her wings like a young bird.

Goldfinches delight in bathing in rocky creeks and small streams where the water is shallow. They are exceptionally clean in all their ways. Curiously, Brown-headed Cowbirds lay their eggs in the nests of smaller songbirds like the goldfinch. However, this finch’s seed diet is insufficient to meet the demands of the growing cow-bird young, most of which die within three days as a result. The presence of the cowbird does dis-rupt successful nesting.

Breeding bird surveys suggest that populations are stable or de-creasing at about four per cent per year. Decreasing amounts of breeding habitat resulting from changing agricultural practices, and the expansion of urban cen-ters, may be contributing to this decline. The Christmas Bird Count indicates an increase in the overwintering population of

American Goldfinches. The re-sults of the breeding bird surveys and the CBC are not necessarily contradictory. Increases in the overwintering population may be due to an increase in the number of bird feeders, while the total population may be declining. To understand these population changes, monitoring and study of the factors affecting populations are essential.

C a r t e r G u l s e t hHello. How are we today? A

little quiet? Maybe a little blue? Well it’s time for a treat! Why not disappear into the decadent world of the 1920s? A time when the champagne flowed while the caviar chilled, and all the world was a party. This is the world of The Drowsy Chaperone!

First premiering in Toron-to’s The Rivoli, Drowsy is the latest Key City-bound produc-tion for Mount Baker Wild Theatre. The show, which opened on Broadway in 2006,

was a fantastic smash, taking away five Tony awards, in-cluding those for best book and best score. After last sea-son’s Urinetown the Musical, Chaperone is bound to reso-nate with a little more tradi-tional musical magic; there will sadly, however, be very few jokes regarding Urine. Hail Malthus.

The show will be helmed by Bethany Turcon, who is taking a first run at the Wild Theatre oeuvre. Musical di-rection will be seen over by Stephanie Tischauer and Evan

Bueckert, another newcomer to the Wild family. Returning from last seasons Urinetown is Toronto-based choreogra-pher Siona Jackson. We thank her for making the flight on Air Canada; the woman’s a trooper.

Carter Gulseth leads the cast as the Man in Chair. Play-ing opposite him, as Janet Van de Graaf and Robert Martin, are Emily Bohmer and Daw-son Rutledge, respectively. The cast is rounded out by Madison Lee as the titular Chaperone and Andrew

Schubert as the almost-sensu-al Aldolfo.

The show is a tip of the hat to a time when the musical theatre was about a story, a few good songs, and as many spit-takes as one person can handle. It is a rollicking good time, a romp, and an opportu-nity to kick up your heels.

Mount Baker Wild Theatre is presenting “The Drowsy Chaperone” in May — a parody of American musical comedy of the 1920s. The story concerns a middle-aged, asocial musical theatre fan; as he plays the record of his favorite musical, the (fictional) 1928 hit The Drowsy Chaperone, the show comes to life onstage as he wryly comments on the music, story, and actors.

PAGE 6 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2015

“I was not totally truthful when I de-nied the allegations I was having an extramarital affair,” said embat-

tled Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell. Let’s examine this statement, shall we?

Because it is very well done. The old “I was not totally truthful when I denied”. It’s so much easier than saying “I lied”. Actu-ally, it’s not easier. It’s six words longer, ten syllables more. Yet, a tidy statement just the same.

We have talked in the past, dear reader, about political apologies and non-apologies, and state-ments that seem deter-mined to obfuscate. I be-lieve the statement above may fall under the latter.

Shall I set the table for you?Newly elected Mayor Atwell of Saan-

ich, B.C., is in a bit of hot water stemming from an incident on December 3 in which police were called to a home for a domes-tic disturbance. The dwelling belonged to one of his campaign workers, with whom Hiz Honner denied having an affair. He simply said the worker’s partner did not want him there the evening in question. So, like a good guest, he left.

Atwell told the Times Colonist news-paper and CBC that “There were voices raised, and I decided it was time to get out

of there and walk out, and that’s what I did. Unfortunately there was an alterca-tion on the steps,” he said.

Note that, “unfortunately, there was an altercation”. Not, “I was involved in an al-tercation”, just, there was an altercation. He just happened to be there while that altercation took place, right there. In front of him. Or behind him.

The mayor said as he was exiting the house he was struck from behind, so he called 911 to ensure every-one’s safety. He’s conscien-tious like that. Safety first.

He said he decided not to press charges and consid-ered the matter over. Saan-

ich Police say no charges will be filed against anyone involved, and the file is closed.

Because, really, why would anyone be interested in what the Mayor was doing when an altercation involving police oc-curred right in front of him?

“Well, I guess it gives the impression that there’s something really going on and I’m hiding it from it,” he said.

It does give that impression. It’s most unfortunate.

“I’m new as a politician, I’m newly minted, I’m kind of naive I guess in my original belief that I thought I had a pri-vate life and this was just a very small

private episode between three people.”He’s new, people. New. Very new. Fell

off the turnip truck just last week, I under-stand. That’s how new you’d have to be to believe that the press has no interest in the private lives of politicians.

So this poor, naive Mayor, who merely was not totally truthful about denying al-legations — not lying — has now had his world-view shattered — shattered!

People are interested in his private life. People are interested period. Too inter-ested. So interested that his computer may have been infiltrated with spyware.

At the same press conference last week where Atwell admitted the untruthiness (tm Stephen Colbert) of his denials, he also said city staff were instructed to place spyware on his computers and the Saan-ich police department has been harassing him. He wonders how the December 3 incident reached the press. I’m about to shatter his world-view further — the press has scanners.

The plot thickens.The Saanich Police Chief says he hasn’t

received any complaints from the Mayor.In any event, the beginning of political

neophyte Richard Atwell’s career has not been uneventful. But it has been enter-taining. Stay tuned.

Kimberley Dynamiters goaltender Brody Nelson (#33), recently acquired from the Kamloops Storm, made his debut Tuesday, leading the Nitros to a 3-1 win over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

Nomad NelsonNewest Nitro netminder leads Kimberley to victory

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Goaltender Brody Nelson has been a bit of a nomad to this point in the 2014-15 KIJHL sea-son. After a trade from the Kamloops Storm brought him to the Kim-berley Dynamiters, he finds himself back at home in the East Koote-nay.

Tuesday night, Nel-son’s journey continued at the Kimberley Civic Centre where he steered aside 30 shots, leading his new club to a 3-1 victory over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

“It’s definitely been an adventure this sea-son,” Nelson said after earning his first victory as a Nitro. “It’s not something I’ve been used to through the first two years of my career.

“Going to different teams has been a good experience and I’m defi-nitely happy to end up here [in Kimberley].”

Nelson, a native of Invermere, spent his first two seasons in the KIJHL with his home-town club, the Colum-bia Valley Rockies.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound puck-stopper began his third KIJHL season with the Rockies, going 3-14-0 with a 4.06 goals-against average (GAA) and 0.879 save percentage (SP) before being dealt to the Kam-loops Storm in Decem-ber.

From there, he saw six games of action in the Doug Birks Division, going 4-2-0 with a 2.20 GAA, 0.912 SP and two

shutouts.If those numbers and

Nelson’s performance Tuesday night are any indication, head coach Jerry Bancks wasn’t just blowing hot air when he said he felt his club had stolen Nelson from Ka-mloops in exchange for future considerations.

“He settled right in,” Bancks said of his new goaltender. “I thought he stole the game for us in the first period.

For Nelson, the end result was worth smiling about, though his night didn’t get off to the smoothest of starts as Thunder Cats leading scorer Carson Cart-wright victimized the newest Nitro netminder 47 seconds into the af-fair.

“It didn’t start off the way I wanted it to,” Nel-son said with a laugh. “Everything after that just rolled on and it was a good experience.”

After Cartwright’s opening tally, Nelson weathered pressure from the visitors before Sawyer Hunt, who re-turned from injury Tuesday, deposited a Jordan Roy pass into a gaping cage to tie the game before the end of the first period.

For Hunt, it was his first game back since suffering an upper-body injury Dec. 5 in Creston.

Captain Jason Rich-ter tallied his 33rd goal of the season, a pow-er-play marker in the second period, to give the Nitros the lead and pull himself within one point of Fernie Ghostrid-

ers forward Doan Smith (29G-24A-53Pts) for the KIJHL scoring lead.

Defenceman James Jowsey rounded out the scoring, tallying the in-surance marker midway through the third period.

R e c e n t l y - s i g n e d blue-liner Justin Meier, also making his Dyna-miter debut Tuesday, earned an assist on Jowsey’s goal. But his true impact was felt with a crushing hit on Thun-der Cats forward Mason Mazur earlier in the sec-ond period.

“It was good to get the first one out of the way,” Meier said with a laugh. “It felt good.

“I like to bring a physical presence to my game.”

The native of Taber, Alta., shook the Civic Centre as he caught Mazur cutting through the slot with his head down. The heavy hit is something there hasn’t been much of in Kim-berley this season, with a team built around speed and skill.

“He’s exactly what we needed,” Bancks said of Meier. “He’s going to have to rein himself in a bit, but I like the fact he is hard-nosed. We knew he’d be hard to play against and I really like having that back there [on the blue-line].”

Meier finished the night with 16 penalty minutes, including a 10-minute misconduct that accompanied a two-minute minor pen-alty for head contact. He acknowledged he hopes to keep those numbers

down moving forward.Nelson’s arrival

stands to provide a bit of competition for Dyna-miters workhorse Tyson Brouwer, who has seen action in 31 of his team’s 41 games this season.

“We’re right where we want to be. We’ve got a good goaltending tan-dem [with Brouwer and Nelson] and now they need to push each other,” Bancks said. “It’s got to be competitive. That’s exactly what we want. They’re both competi-tive kids. It’s great. I think it’s very healthy.”

With the Dynamiters victory, the see-saw bat-tle for second place in the Eddie Mountain Di-vision wore on, with Kimberley vaulting over Creston Valley once again. As of Tuesday night, the Nitros (22-15-1-3, 48 points) sit one point ahead of the Thun-der Cats (21-14-1-4, 47) and 11 back of the first-

place Fernie Ghostriders (28-9-1-2, 59) who fell to the fifth-place Columbia Valley Rockies (8-26-0-6, 22) in Invermere by a final score of 5-3. The Golden Rockets (20-16-0-5, 45) remain in the

hunt as well, rounding out the divisional stand-ings in fourth place.

Next on the itinerary for the Nitros is a week-end road trip through the Okanagan Division. Friday, the Dynamiters

visit the KIJHL’s top club -- the Osoyoos Coyotes (33-6-0-1, 67) -- before moving on to face the league’s lowest-ranked club -- the North Okana-gan Knights (5-31-1-3, 14) -- on Saturday.

The Kootenay Ice open a three-game road trip through the Land of Living Skies with a Wednesday-night con-test against the Moose Jaw Warriors.

Having dropped three consecutive games and fallen back in the WHL’s Central Division race, the Ice are looking to rekindle an approach that made them one of the WHL’s top teams from Nov. 1 through Jan. 3. That stretch saw the

Ice go 18-5-0-1, pulling back into contention with the likes of the Cal-gary Hitmen, Red Deer Rebels and Edmonton Oil Kings.

“We’ve got to take this road trip and turn things back around in the right direction,” said Kootenay Ice forward Luke Philp following Saturday’s 6-4 setback to the Saskatoon Blades. “We know we’ve let a few games slide and all these points really mat-ter. We’ve got to get

things going again.”The last time these

two teams met, a six-goal third period powered the Kootenay Ice to a come-from-behind 7-3 victory over the Moose Jaw War-riors Nov. 23 at Western Financial Place.

Ice forwards Levi Cable and Jaedon De-scheneau tallied two goals apiece to help pace the hosts, while Wyatt Hoflin batted away 31 pucks for the victory.

Puck drop is set for 6 p.m. (MT).

up your feet and relax.CANCER (June 21-July 22)If you follow your intuition, you will land like a cat on all fours. You might have difficulty sorting through information, as there seems to be a lot of it heading your way all at once. A partner will want to take the lead. Tonight: Don’t allow someone to intimidate others.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Stay centered, know your limits and recognize what is needed. You could feel overwhelmed by everything you hear. Listen to a loved one who has a lot to share. You might want to pull back and try a different approach. Tonight: Head home early.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Communication could be chal-lenged, as confusion seems to run through the moment. You might feel overwhelmed by what has occurred. You know what you want, and you under-stand why you are going to pro-ceed in a certain way. Tonight: Reach out to a close friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You often question how much you need to do with or for someone else. You might ex-press a tendency to be exces-sive. Try not to react to a loved one’s need to control you; just go with the flow, and you will be a lot happier. Tonight: Trust that everything will work out.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You might want to move in a new direction. The unexpected is likely to occur, and it could take some time to sort out what is really going on. Chaos seems to reign supreme! Loosen up, and enjoy what is being offered, despite all the confusion. To-night: Keep to your budget.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Listen to news that heads your way. You’ll correctly sense that you do not have the full story. A financial matter needs some attention. Going to extremes, whether emotionally or finan-cially, is likely to mark your be-havior. Tonight: Listen to what a friend shares. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You could be in a strange mood, and might feel somewhat neg-

ative. A meeting will allow you to revise your perspective and/or knowledge. As a result, you are likely to be more optimis-tic than you have been in the recent past. Tonight: Invite a friend to join you.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You could be in the mood to do something a bit different. Curb impulsiveness. Your sixth sense plugs right in and draws some unexpected results. Don’t close down because someone isn’t coming through as you might have hoped he or she would. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Honor a fast change, and you’ll feel much better than you have in a while. You are likely to be-come difficult or uneasy as pres-sure builds to do something in a certain way. Detach, and con-sider revising your thinking and attitude. Tonight: Take off ASAP. BORN TODAYMusician Dave Grohl (1969), actor Jason Bateman (1969), professional wrestler Jim Dug-gan (1954) ***

Dear Annie: My daughter and her hus-band are using a surrogate to have a baby. What do I do about a shower when someone else is carrying their child?

It is my daughter’s first child, and she and her husband are in their late 40s. Should I make the shower for them as a couple? Does she not get a shower because someone else is actually pregnant with the child? I have no idea what is proper here. Please help. -- Grandma-To-Be

Dear Grandma: It doesn’t matter who is carrying the child. Any new mother -- and your daughter will be one -- is entitled to a baby shower if someone wants to host one. Of course, it is better if the shower is given by friends and not immediate family, but these days few people pay attention to those rules. Couples showers have become more popu-lar, since both Mom and Dad (presumably) are raising this child. Whether you do that or not is entirely your choice. Congratulations.

Dear Annie: I would like to know why frail, elderly people get to “choose to stay in their home” while the rest of the family runs in circles trying to meet their needs. This is like asking a 2-year-old whether he wants to eat broccoli.

My husband and I were stressed out and exhausted trying to care for our parents be-cause they wouldn’t leave their home. We all work full-time, so we took turns making sure they were OK in their old house. No one could get a night’s rest, because the folks were up and down all night opening doors, turning on lights and once, even using the oven and going outside.

People are living longer, and when se-vere physical frailty or dementia sets in, the family suffers. Not only is there the stress of caregiving, but also there is resentment that they refuse to be more helpful and coopera-tive about their living arrangements. I think some of this stress can lead to elder abuse.

Why can’t family and social workers sign these folks up for assisted living? I under-stand personal freedom, but where is the freedom for the rest of the family? -- Still Stressed Out

Dear Stressed: Seniors who are still ca-pable of making sound decisions should look into continuing care facilities that allow them to live independently until they are no longer able to do so, and then will transfer them to assisted living or nursing home care. These are not always pleasant choices to contemplate, but the alternative often turns out to be misery for everyone. And once a parent has dementia, it becomes both dif-ficult and debilitating to remove them from familiar surroundings.

Those who are adamant about remaining in their own homes should check out wheth-er it is safe. Most people do not remain in perfect health and then suddenly drop dead. Does your home have stairs? Safety bars in the bathroom? Will you someday need to pay for a caregiver? If you become widowed, will the loneliness cause you to decline? At some point, each of us must decide whether staying in our home is truly the best deci-sion, and how fair we are being to our loved ones.

Dear Annie: “Getting It off My Chest” moved out of state and is upset about rela-tives not visiting them. Here’s the other side of the story.

Our family members also moved away. They expect us to travel because we are re-tired and they are working. By the time we visit four different states, we can’t afford trips to any other locations.

Maybe “Getting” should look at how self-ish they are. Their area may be beautiful, but how many times can we see it before it becomes boring? No one owes them a visit just because they didn’t like cold winters or sticky summers. -- Burned Out Travelers

Teresa Mary TrozzoJanuary 7, 1923 - January 5, 2015

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Teresa Mary Trozzo on Monday, January 5, 2015 two days short of her 92nd birthday.

Teresa was a very strong and independent woman, a loving wife, sister, aunt and friend. She would do

anything to help someone out. We will miss her dearly.

Teresa leaves to mourn her passing her siblings: Aldo (Norma) Sherbo, Angela (Slim) Piccini, Marcella Tironese, Ceasar Sherbo, Lina (Andrew) Scarittino, and many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband Frank Trozzo, her parents Frank and Maria Sherbo, her sister and brother-in-law Jenny and Joe Piccini, and her brother Joe Sherbo, his first wife Blanche and his second wife Helene.

We would like to thank the staff at Joseph Creek for the wonderful care and kindness shown to Teresa while she lived there. Thank you to the nurses on the third floor for your care and compassion. Dr. Andy, thank you for everything you did to make Teresa comfortable.

Rosary & Prayers for Teresa will be held at 7:00 pm on Friday, January 16, 2015 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, (39 - 10th Avenue South), in Cranbrook. Her Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, January 17, 2015 at 12:00 pm at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Cranbrook. Teresa’s interment will follow in the Catholic Cemetery in Cranbrook.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the charity of your choice.

For greater image contrast, the Real Black Filter suppresses the amount of external light re� ected on screen. The result is improved image contrast when viewing in bright conditions. With minimal re� ection, images appear clean, crisp and distraction free. Take advantage of an extra inch of screen size with Samsung’s Plasma +1” design featuring a thinner bezel. The added inch to the screen means we removed an inch from the frame, so there’s less around the TV to distract you.

Draw Date & TimeTuesday, March 3rd, 2015
