A decision on whether the B.C. government acted appropriately when approving the Jumbo Gla-cier Resort will likely take months. The trial part of the judicial review put forth by the Ktunaxa Na-tion Council wrapped up on Friday, January 17.

Kathryn Teneese, chair of the Ktunaxa Na-tion Council, said they are now awaiting a deci-sion on the review. The Ktunaxa Nation isn’t sure how long that will take, as there is a lot of infor-mation for the judge to wade through.

“Obviously we’re hop-ing the sooner the better,” she said. “Then we can determine what our next steps will be.”

Teneese said lawyers for the Ktunaxa Nation advised that it could be months before a decision is reached.

The Ktunaxa Nation petitioned for a judicial review of whether the B.C. government acted appropriately when it ap-proved the Master Devel-opment Agreement for Jumbo Glacier Resort back in March 2012.

The court case began earlier this month, on Jan. 6. The three parties involved – the Ktunaxa, the B.C. government and Glacier Resorts Ltd – were asked to prepare written affidavits that were presented in court.

The review took place in Vancouver Supreme Court over the course of 10 days.

Brian Panebianco was shaking and unsteady on his feet on Tuesday eve-ning, Jan. 21, as a 12-per-son jury found him not guilty in connection to the death of Cory Jarock.

Members of the jury, made up of Cranbrook, Kimberley and area resi-dents, were also visibly upset as the foreperson

announced the verdict.One by one, the court

clerk read the charges, and each time, the jury foreperson pronounced Panebianco not guilty. Manslaughter, criminal negligence causing death, robbery and as-sault causing bodily harm – not guilty four times.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

2014- 2018 FIVE YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN MEETING

There will be a special meeting of Council to discuss the 2014 – 2018 Five Year Financial Plan for the City of Cranbrook. The meeting will be held on Tuesday January 28, 2014 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm in Council Chambers at City Hall. The public is invited to attend.

Instead, after seven hours of secret delibera-tions, the jury found Panebianco, 25, guilty of two lesser charges: theft under $5,000 for taking money out of Jarock’s pocket, and common assault for hitting Jarock in the head as he evicted him from an Invermere house party on April 2, 2012.

Each member of the jury was asked to stand to show their unani-mous support for the verdict, and then Su-preme Court Justice Kenneth Ball excused the jury and thanked them for their service.

“I’ve watched as you’ve been attentive, taking your task very se-riously,” Justice Ball told the jury. “I must say, I felt encouraged when we first called you as so few people in the array had any objection to be-coming jurors. In fact, many seemed eager to be able to do it.

“I really appreciate on behalf of the people

of Canada and the peo-ple of this community what you have done. I simply admire the work you have done. It’s very difficult. You should be thanked for that.”

Crown prosecutor Lynal Doerksen and Panebianco’s lawyer Greg Sawchuk took only a few minutes to agree on a sentence for Panebianco on the less-er charges: a six-month sentence. However, Panebianco spent that long in custody awaiting a bail hearing on these charges in 2012, so he was free to leave the Cranbrook courthouse Tuesday night.

“Crown and defense are in agreement that the time he has served in custody, which is six months, will be suffi-cient for the circum-stances of this case,” said Justice Ball.

Panebianco was or-dered to provide a DNA sample at the Columbia Valley RCMP detach-ment within a week. He

have been. That was one of the big issues for the Crown,” he said.

In this case, the Crown may have grounds to appeal the verdict, Doerksen ex-plained.

“The Crown would have an option to ap-peal. But it’s not likely. We will do a review with my supervisors as soon as possible.

“I’m happy all the ev-idence got out,” he con-cluded.

During the six-day trial, the jury heard from a pathologist who found that Cory Jarock died of hypothermia on the night of April 2 to 3, 2012, as he lay on the driveway of his friend Caitlin Jensen’s house after being kicked out of a house party the night before. A toxicologist es-timated that Jarock’s

blood alcohol concen-tration would have been between 330 and 380 mg when he left the party.

Caitlin Jensen, Emma Cain, Brian Panebianco and Chase Stadnyk were gathered at Jensen’s home on April 2, 2012, the four testified, when Jensen invited Cory Jarock to join them. He arrived at about 10:30 p.m. with a case of 15 beer, pizza and wings. The group shared the beer and then Jensen brought out a bottle of vodka, which they also shared. Cain and Jarock drank the most; Jensen and Panebianco a little; Stadnyk did not drink at all and left at about 1 p.m., according to the testimony.

Sometime after that, the young women, 18

and 19 at the time, no-ticed that Jarock was ex-tremely drunk and began to ask him to leave. Panebianco said the women asked for his help when Jarock re-fused to leave, began to insult the girls and grabbed Cain’s back-side.

Panebianco testified that he thought Jarock was going to fight him, so he struck the side of Jarock’s head with his forearm, grabbed the man in a fireman’s hold under the arms, and carried him out the front door, throwing his jacket and shoes out after him. Panebianco later admit-ted taking money from Jarock’s coat pocket and giving some of it to Jen-sen to pay her for the vodka.

Panebianco left the party 30 minutes later,

poking Jarock with a stick on the way past as the man lay on the driveway. Cain left an-other 15 minutes later, and testified that Jarock sat up and called out to her as she walked past.

Jensen testified that she then went to bed, expecting Jarock to walk home. The next morn-ing when she woke up, Jarock was still lying on the driveway. She called friends to ask what she should do, but in the end didn’t take any ac-tion.

At about lunchtime, a local realtor drove past the home and saw Jaro-ck’s body. He stopped and called 911. A para-medic arrived and found Jarock was de-ceased.

Cory Jarock, 31, was a painter living in Inver-mere.

After the decision, Sawchuk spoke to the Townsman about his client.

“Mr. Panebianco’s present thoughts are sorrow for Mr. Jarock’s family at the death of their son,” he said.

Jarock’s mother was present in the court-room throughout the trial but declined to comment after the ver-dict.

Prosecutor Lynal Do-erksen said he is not shocked by the not guilty finding.

“I’m not surprised. It’s been a difficult case and the facts weren’t easy,” he told the Towns-man.

Doerksen said the credibility of the three witnesses who were present the night of April 2 would certainly have been an issue for the jury.

“It would have to

CAROLYN GRANTDaily Bulletin

You can feel it the minute you walk in the door of the new Spirit Rock Climbing Centre in Kimberley — an excitement, a buzz that says something is happening here.

That positive energy has carried Spirit Rock through a great opening month, and it appears that it is going to continue.

Owners Ryan and Verena Tarves and Kevin Evinblades say the centre has been busy since it opened December 7, with climbers of all levels, from all over the East Kootenay and beyond, coming to check it out.

“It’s been flat out since then,” Ryan said, “We’ve had clientele from all over the area, tremendous numbers from Cranbrook. And over the holidays we had lots of visitors from the ski hill dropping in.”

There is one other partner in the venture, Jim Gray, who is not actively involved in day-to-day running of the centre. He will, however,

be taking advantage of the best view in Kimberley when he and his wife move into the apartment on top of Spirit Rock.

The first thing you notice once inside the climbing centre is that it is even bigger than it looks. There are brightly coloured climbing walls on three different levels — one beginning in the basement (or the pit as they call it) and rising to top, allowing room to provide a chimney and overhang to simulate a natural climb.

There is a bouldering area upstairs, which you climb without ropes, protected by 16-inch thick floor mats.

“It’s top-out bouldering, which is a newer idea,” Ryan said. “You get to the top of the wall and jump over the edge to a deck, so you don’t have to jump off.”

Spirit Rock also has a new auto-belay as well as all the other required climbing gear.

“It really is state of the art,” Kevin said. “We went to trade shows to see all the new ideas.”

Indoor climbing is

a different sport than outdoor, although the skills are obviously transferrable.

The owners say they are seeing climbers of all abilities, the biggest proportion being beginners.

“We are seeing lots

of school groups,” Ryan said. “And we have after school programs, learn to climb classes for both youth and adults. But we are also busy with experienced climbers.

“It’s gratifying to watch people push themselves.”

“It’s such a positive atmosphere,” Kevin said. “People coach each other and help each other problem solve. People walk out of here tired, but with big grins.”

If you walk in off the street, staff will quickly assess your ability.

“We want it to be fun but we really push safety. We can teach someone the basics within half an hour. If you have previous experience, there is a free test, just so we can make sure you can tie a knot, do basic belaying. We want you to have fun.”

Verena, Ryan and Kevin have all been climbing for years and follow the standard teaching protocol of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides.

There are other instructors as well, all of them local climbers.

“We have two high school kids working part-time. They came in and their enthusiasm was so awesome, we wanted to bring them on.”

The Spirit Rock Climbing Centre is open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the weekend and noon to 10 p.m. on weekdays.

This week, council heard that ambulances are now keeping their sirens and lights off for non-emergency calls.

The board of BC Emergency Health Ser-vices responded to the City of Cranbrook’s past request for more infor-mation on local govern-ment’s role in first re-sponder services at Monday’s council meet-ing.

The BCEHS is re-sponsible for governing all emergency medical services in the province, including BC Ambu-lance service, first re-sponder agencies, BC Patient Transfer Net-work and Trauma Ser-vices BC.

Wynne Powell, board chair of the BCEHS, wrote that the organiza-tion undertook the Re-

source Allocation Plan for ambulances and first responders.

The review resulted in reducing the number of calls requiring lights and siren responses and Advanced Life Sup-port ambulances to at-tend.

It found that first re-sponders were not re-quired to attend 35 per cent of medical calls that are now notified by BCAS because patients do not require their medical services.

“If you look at the fire department’s fourth quarter report for exam-ple, 267 of the 552 re-sponses, which is about 42 per cent, were first responder responses,” Stetski said.

He said the issue has come up before the BC Mayors Caucus.

“The question is looking basically at the

responsibility between the ambulance service and first responders from the fire depart-ments around British Columbia.”

The province pays for ambulances around B.C. while municipali-ties pay for fire depart-ments and first respond-ers.

“Anything the prov-ince isn’t funded to do or doesn’t do is picked up by municipalities and first responders,” Stetski said. “The way the BC Mayors Caucus put it was it’s another form of downloading potentially from the province to the munici-palities in terms of cost.”

Coun. Angus Davis said that back when he was first in the work-force, communities raised money for their own ambulances.

“All the communities in British Columbia were like that, Cran-brook was no different,” Davis said. “Surprisingly it went very well. You usually had industrial trained attendants and you usually had profes-sionals, because most of the people came from industries within the community.”

He said at some point the regional dis-trict took over the oper-ation and a lot of the volunteer aspect went out the door. That was followed by the prov-ince taking it over.

“Within the commu-nity there is a wealth of talent to respond to these things, and some-how we’ve lost the con-tact with that in the sense that we look to the senior governments for more and more of the provision of what in

many cases we can do extremely well by our-selves,” he said.

The letter also talks about how historically first responders have driven to all medical calls using lights and siren even if the ambu-lance was responding routine.

Since the allocation plan changes for ambu-lances were implement-ed earlier this fall, most fire departments in B.C.

decided to match the ambulance services’ re-sponse mode and only drive with lights and siren if the patient’s con-dition warrants an emergency driving re-sponse.

The letter notes that the change is a signifi-cant improvement in public safety for com-munities throughout B.C. and an example of the positive benefit of collaboration between

the groups involved.BCEHS is in the pro-

cess of setting up brief-ings for municipalities that requested an op-portunity to discuss the implementation of the Resource Allocation Plan.

Stetski was happy to hear there was some-thing coming down the pipeline.

Council received the correspondence as in-formation.

B.C. environment ministry biologists are asking the public to watch and report bat sightings this winter, as they try to track a dis-ease that has killed millions of bats in east-ern and central Cana-da and the U.S.

White Nose Syn-drome is a fungal dis-ease that kills bats during their winter hi-bernation period. It is believed to have been introduced to North America and to spread primarily through bat to bat contact. No cases have been reported in western North Ameri-ca so far.

B.C. biologists are working to understand how to protect bats from the syndrome and how to help popu-lations should the dis-ease arrive.

“Any time you have a 50/50 chance of getting something right¸ there’s a 90 per cent chance you’ll get it wrong.”

Adage

Some of my more tolerant readers will recall a lament that I wrote about getting “turned round” in the Community Forest. I now know why my

pick-up went AWOL. It was those damnable cycle tracks that are turning up everywhere, like fleas on the dog’s belly.

A person sets out afoot with clear eyes, a composed mind and strong limbs into the wilderness in order to refresh himself with nature‘s wonders and possibly sit and muse for a while atop a hill that he has spotted but, en route, stumbles over innumerable bike tracks.

Then, if he foolishly opts to follow one, he is doomed. They don’t go anywhere. They are circular routes like those horrify-ing quarter-mile tracks on sports fields. They are for competition and exercise, and who needs that?

I had been snuffing at the air on the top of Windy Bluff a few years back and, re-freshed, was on my way down when I was bowled over on to my wrinkly tush by a Martian. I am sure he was a Martian be-cause he was wearing a helmet, glasses with yellow eyes and an outrageous outfit.

He was riding what might have been a bi-cycle and he didn’t apologize probably because, being Martian, he didn’t know any human language. I picked myself up, brushed myself off and tottered off home-ward, amazed at my miraculous escape from what might have become an encoun-ter of the third kind.

Personally, I have nothing against bicy-cles as such, even those hurled at speed by Mar-tians. I just wish that cy-clists wouldn’t construct tracks all over hell’s half acre and thus confuse the hell out of me.

But I am losing the bat-tle. I have a grand-daughter that helps selling bicycles in Vancouver. The prices that folk pay for their machines are incred-ible enough but, when extras like helmets, goggles, stretch pants and tops, shoes, pedals, wheels and saddles are added, some enthusiasts must end up like tou-cans: no matter which way they face, they always have huge bills in front of them.

Then they — not the toucans — must go out into the countryside and use those bikes; I wish they’d stay in town.

Quite a few years ago we met some old friends in the Austrian Alps and planned to stroll over a couple of passes to a distant lake. Unfortunately, the two parties be-came separated and so my beloved and I set off across country to find the others. Big mistake! We weren’t exactly arrested but

did get some fierce-sounding German abuse. We were supposed to stay on the track and not wander willy-nilly and make new trails. That was verboten. In retro-spect, it was probably a good idea for crowded Europe.

What attracted my lovely wife and me to this valley, here in the Kootenays, was the lack of tracks. We were not fond of beaten trails; we preferred to find our way into the mountains; we liked being able to feel like explorers; there was a little of David Thompson in us both.

We followed a lot of game trails back then. Game trails are sensible; they go somewhere. They are purposeful and that purpose is not exercise nor blatant exhibi-tionism. If we humans wish to cross a mountain chain, penetrate a thicket or a swamp, we must go where the wild ani-mals have gone; they don’t rush around in circles for exercise.

But what I fear might be happening is that, like me, wild animals are starting to follow the bicycle tracks and are thus com-mitted to walking aimlessly in circles until, dizzily confused, they drift into town where they are likely to be culled.

My very old friend, George, often asks the rhetorical question, “If it’s tourist sea-son, why can’t we shoot them?” That is the way that I feel about those that make new tracks in the community forest for their bicycles and thus confuse this doddery codger. Then I wonder if those Austrians felt the way George does.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

Kirsten Hildebrand

Operating on a hot tip, I grabbed my headlamp and a fine-toothed comb and hunched over a head of hair.

Another head of hair and a half hour later, I breathed a big sigh of relief, panic subsiding. We were lice free.

Considering the fact that we are in the midst of cold and flu season with H1N1 and H1N-whatever floating around, capturing headlines and even lives, it seems ridicu-lous the amount of stress the threat of a few little bugs caused.

I am new to the land of lice with my first experience with the Wee Beasties (timely Robbie Burns reference, eh?) happening at the tail end of last summer.

My three kids returned home after some time with family, a few creatures stowed away in their hair and I learned the true meaning of the words annoying, nuisance, persistent, among a few others that my newspaper doesn’t print and my children don’t often hear.

Several rounds of costly shampoo and daily nit picking from two heads of hair (my son escaped the drama with his summer head shave) and we passed our initiation into a club whose members seem reluctant to admit their association.

Truly ironic considering the other day my friend said to me, “I think I may have that H1N1 virus.” I sat sharing the same air as my coughing compadre without so much as batting an eye.

Yet, had she said, “I’ve got lice,” I would

have plopped her pompom-ed toque on the top of her head and bid her adieu.

Why does lice have such a bad rap? In the midst of our lice outbreak my nightly reading consisted of Googled articles on lice. I learned they’re not dangerous and don’t spread disease. They’ve got short stumpy legs rendering even walking a chal-lenge. They do not fly or jump. They’re not even considered a medical problem.

In some cultures, people just live with lice. Cleopatra is said to have had her own solid gold lice comb — how sophisticated! Sophisticated! What?!

I think we’ve become a society obsessed with a misguided standard of cleanliness where bugs mean dirtiness. Head lice aren’t creatures that infest the dirty. In fact, I be-lieve my family had previously resisted the bug for so long because of our anti-sham-pooing policy. (It’s kind of a loose policy.)

And getting lice doesn’t mean you have to clean your house from top to bottom. During the six weeks we had lice, I often heard other misguided statements such as all teddy bears go in the freezer, vacuum all the furniture — daily — and launder every-thing. None of these things were necessary to rid our heads of lice. The rice-sized crea-tures don’t like to leave the scalp. They real-ly don’t. That’s where they eat and they gotta eat to live.

All these things considered, why does lice still take its toll on families — socially, emotionally and psychologically? Why does the thought of lice in our lives create more

panic than illness that knocks a person out for days?

Sure, it’s part stigma — and education and awareness, simply standing up and admitting to having lice, helps.

But I think we’ve also become a society that doesn’t have time for a nuisance — a creepy, crawly nuisance.

Surprisingly, taking time with my girls each day wasn’t a complete nuisance. With strands of hair in hand, we talked, listened to music and sometimes they read to me. Often we complained to each other but while dealing with lice was at times frustrat-ing, we also bonded as a family tackling a new challenge together.

We even captured specimens to watch under magnifying glass, which demystified the beast. I had fun throwing around the terms louse and nitpicker.

In the end, nitpicking was the answer and I was pleased that for once, being a nitpicking mom was the solution to our di-lemma.

So, coughs and Kleenex in hand I return to my recent alarm and remind myself that, “Meh, it’s just lice.” Let’s lose the stigma, gain some perspective and try to panic a little less. Sharing our matter-of-fact stories is just a start.

Disclaimer: While lice have been disam-biguated for me, bed bugs are another mat-ter. Freak me out. That’s all…

Letters to the editorUnited Way

Each year companies, organizations and hundreds of individuals show their com-mitment to people in our communities by supporting the United Way throughout our region. The 2013 campaign, although not yet finalized, has surpassed the $115,000 goal which means 2014 community invest-ments will increase impacting the lives of many in our communities.

The substantial time and resources from all of our volunteers, donors, agencies, and business community proves how much can be accomplished when we work to-gether.

On behalf of the community, our thanks go out to the people and organizations that helped to make giving a way of life through:

• employee contributors in the work-place;

• affiliated labour unions;• volunteers in the workplace (our em-

ployee campaign coordinators);• Leadership Givers (donors who con-

tribute $500 or more annually to United Way);

• corporate donors;• foundation donors;• committed individual donors outside

the workplace (retirees, philanthropists and direct mail recipients);

• community volunteers — those who volunteer directly for United Way or with an affiliate agency;

• in-kind supporters providing equip-ment and services at no charge; and

• sponsors of our special events.United Way donors and contributors

are strengthening families, nurturing healthy and successful children, ensuring dignity and inclusion for individuals strug-gling with personal, emotional and physi-cal challenges, and enabling seniors to re-main involved and active in our communi-ties.

Our capacity to serve communities de-

pends on the leadership from individuals and groups that form the very essence of communities. Working with these individ-uals, we are committed to addressing the causes of our most critical social issues.

Our shifting economy has had a signifi-cant impact on everyone. United Way rec-ognizes this fact and applauds the contin-ued support of employees, businesses and individuals. This support will increase community investments, allow real suc-cesses to continue, and make lasting changes in people’s lives and in our com-munities.

Our thanks again from the board of di-rectors and staff, to all of you who have made the commitment to make our com-munities a better place for everyone – be-cause we believe in our community; we believe in possibility! Thank you for choos-ing to make a difference in the lives of many, every day!

targeting youthWe are writing in regard to the growing

amount of flavoured tobacco products available today. With National Non-Smok-ing Week upon us, we feel it is important to address this concern specifically because of the way these products are being marketed towards youth.

When you hear the flavours cherry, pear, apple, chocolate, etc., tobacco products probably don’t immediately come to mind, but these flavours and many more are avail-able in a wide variety of tobacco products. Elaborate colourful packaging is used to make products much more enticing. With our research it’s become very clear to us just how obvious the tobacco industry gears the marketing of these products to youth. Fla-vours help to mask the taste of tobacco and

to make smoking more appealing. Products are also available individually at a price for less than a toonie, so youth can easily afford them. Parental awareness is crucial, as many parents may not even recognize a to-bacco product in their child’s bag, because they look so similar to makeup, markers and candy products.

Smoking rates are decreasing, so, to make up for losses, tobacco companies have invested billions of dollars in products to get youth hooked. When the federal gov-ernment’s Bill C-32 was passed in 2009, it made it illegal for tobacco products under the weight of 1.4g and with a filter to be fla-voured. The tobacco companies increased the weight and removed the filter in some products to get around this law. Statistics show that 61 per cent of all youth aged 15-19 who smoke are using flavoured tobacco such as menthols, smokeless tobacco, or little cigars know as cigarillos.

As nursing students, we find this is ex-tremely concerning. We see the devastating effects smoking has on people. Lung cancer alone causes more deaths than breast, col-orectal, and prostate cancer combined. A large majority of the patients we care for, who have other health problems such as cardiac disease, stroke, and lung disease, are or were previously smokers.

We would like to see a ban on all fla-voured tobacco products. We feel our gov-ernment has a responsibility to protect the health of our youth, and we feel that if these “starter” tobacco products were no longer available, youth would be less inclined to try them, thereby reducing risk of addiction and ultimately decreasing the rates of adult smokers and the harmful complications caused by long-term smoking.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The Mount Baker Wild basketball teams were in action this weekend at separate tournaments—the boys in Kimberley, while the girls had home court advantage in Cran-brook.

The boys ended up in third place with two wins and a loss while playing in Selkirk Sec-ondary, home of the Storm.

Wild head coach Shaun Penner said the eight-team tournament

was a good gauge for exposing his squad’s weaknesses.

“It really showed a lot of stuff we need to work on. Mostly our mental game and being confident in our abili-ties, being a little quick-er with the ball in tran-sition,” Penner said.

However, he added he has also noticed im-provements in re-bounds, defence and scoring.

The first win was a 58-48 victory over Fern-ie Secondary, followed up a close loss against

Prince Charles Second-ary out of Creston.

“They’re a deep team, they got size, they got speed, they got ball handling, they can shoot, they can play de-fence—I was im-pressed,” said Penner, of his Creston oppo-nents.

“We should’ve been in that game, we lost by 10.”

The Wild capped off their tournament by taking third place with a 67-61 win over David Thompson Secondary out of Invermere, pull-

ing ahead after their op-ponents went down a few bodies on the court after fouling out.

“The game was close to begin with,” said Pen-ner. “When they went down a man, it was vir-tually tied at that point.”

The girls were in their home gym at Mount Baker Second-ary, where they played three games with one win and two losses.

Their first game against Fernie featured a good offensive start, but they were unable to keep up the pressure,

according to coach Al Nutini.

The Wild followed up with an overtime victory over David Thompson Secondary, and ended the tourna-ment with a loss to J.L. Crowe out of Trail.

Despite the two loss-es, Nutini is noticing good things from all his players throughout every game.

“I’m not unhappy with where it’s at, be-cause there was some real upside to how we played, but it just wasn’t consistent,” said Nutini.

Predators deal Kevin Klein to Rangers in exchange for

Michael Del ZottoNASHVILLE - The Nashville Predators have

swapped defencemen with the New York Rangers, sending Kevin Klein to New York in exchange for Michael Del Zotto.

The Predators announced the trade Wednesday before heading to Vancouver for a four-game road swing.

Del Zotto, 23, has 11 points in 42 games for the Rangers averaging 17 minutes, 44 seconds of ice time per game. The 6-foot, 195-pound Del Zotto was the 20th overall choice by the Rangers in the 2008 draft, and he has 121 career points in 292 career NHL games.

Klein, 29, was the 37th choice overall in 2003 by Nashville and has played 403 games in nine NHL seasons. He has three points in 47 games this season and ranks 22nd in the NHL with 94 blocked shots.

Yankees agree to $155 million, 7-year contract with

pitcher Masahiro TanakaNEW YORK - Yankees co-chairman Hank Stein-

brenner says the team has agreed to a $155 million, seven-year contract with prized Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka.

Along with the contract, first reported by Fox, the Yankees must pay a $20 million fee to the Japanese team of the 25-year-old right-hander, the Rakuten Golden Eagles.

Tanaka caps an off-season that saw the Yankees add Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Bel-tran.

Steinbrenner said Wednesday that “we had to make sure we had enough pitching to go together with our new lineup.”

Big league teams had until Friday to reach an agreement with Tanaka, who was 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last year as the Golden Eagles won the Japan Series title.

Snowboarder Shaun White pulls out of Winter X Games

ASPEN, Colo. - Shaun White is out again for the Winter X Games.

After making the trip to Aspen, even making a practice run or two, the 13-time X Games snow-boarding titlist decided against competing this week.

He had originally said he was out, then changed his mind and entered. Then, on Wednesday, he pulled out again.

He says the schedule wouldn’t allow him to train the way he wants to for the Olympics, where he’ll compete in slopestyle qualifying Feb. 6 - the day before the Opening Ceremony.

MELBOURNE, Aus-tralia - Montreal’s Euge-nie Bouchard is out of the Australian Open.

China’s Li Na defeat-ed Bouchard 6-2, 6-4 on Thursday in the semifi-nal of the women’s sin-gles tournament.

The 19-year-old Bouchard is the first Ca-nadian woman to reach the final four of a Grand Slam tournament in 30 years.

No. 4-seeded Li, the 2011 French Open champion, is the only major winner and the highest-ranked player still in contention after the fourth-round upsets

of Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova. De-fending champion Vic-toria Azarenka’s lost in the quarter-final to Ag-nieszka Radwanska of Poland.

No. 5-seeded Rad-wanska was playing Dominika Cibulkova in the second semifinal later Thursday.

Li, who lost last year’s final to Azarenka, was aggressive from the start against Bouchard, who started nervously and didn’t win a point in her first three service games.

Fittingly, she finished off the match with a backhand crosscourt, one of 16 backhand win-

ners in the match and her biggest weapon against Bouchard.

Earlier in the day, To-ronto’s Daniel Nestor and Serbian partner Nenad Zimonjic were beaten by American Eric Butorac and Raven Klaasen of South Africa 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinal of the men’s doubles tournament.

The defeat leaves the 41-year-old Nestor to concentrate on the mixed-doubles event after winning 12 straight matches and winning Australian titles in Bris-bane and Sydney with two different partners.

“This was a little bit of

a let down, but all credit to them,” said Nestor. “They came out firing an showed why they were in the semifinals. They were going for their shots and making them.

“They played really well, very aggressive. We started slow and that probably gave them con-fidence.”

The match lasted just 64 minutes, with Zimon-jic losing serve twice in the opening set.

Nestor, holder of a re-cord 83 career doubles titles, was unable to carry the entire load as he and Zimonjic re-united this season after a few sea-sons with other partners.

VANCOUVER - Ro-berto Luongo won’t have any family joining him next month when he suits up for Canada at the Winter Olympics.

The same goes for Sweden’s Daniel Sedin.

The Vancouver Ca-nucks teammates are both concerned over security at the Games in Sochi, Russia, after a series of threats and terrorist attacks in the region.

Two suicide bomb-ers killed 34 people in the southern Russian city of Volgograd in De-cember, and officials say they are hunting three more potential at-tackers - including one believed to be in Sochi.

“It’s definitely on my mind, I’m not going to lie,” Luongo said after practice on Wednes-day. “I think we’re all a little bit concerned. We’re definitely going to keep an eye on it over the next few weeks.”

Sedin, who is set to

compete for Sweden along with his twin brother Henrik, said he was “absolutely” con-cerned about the news coming out of Russia, including email threats on Wednesday against a handful of European countries set to partici-pate at the Olympics.

The threats were largely dismissed as a hoax, but the concern over security in Sochi is serious.

“We talk about it quite a bit. It’s nothing you can really joke about,” said Sedin. “It’s in the back of your head for sure.”

Luongo, the odds on favourite to start for Canada in its first game Feb. 13 against Norway, and Sedin both said safety is the main rea-son their families won’t be travelling to Russia.

Sedin added that if family members want-ed to join him and his brother, he would dis-courage them from making the trip.

An Islamic militant group in Dagestan -

which is located about 500 kilometres from Sochi - claimed re-sponsibility for the bombings in Volgograd in a video posted on Sunday. The video also contained a threat to strike the Olympics.

Penguins captain Sidney Crosby voiced similar concerns to those of Luongo and Sedin to reporters in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

“Obviously every-body watches the news and knows that there’s been things happening

fairly close to there,” said Crosby, who will captain the Canadian team. “From what we’ve been told, I think they’re going to do ev-erything they can to make sure it’s safe and secure. We’re going over to play and focus on that.

“It’s not something everyone’s totally wor-ried about, but I think it’s hard not to think about it when things are happening kind of close to there.”

Toronto Maple Leafs

forward James van Riemsdyk, who will suit up for the United States in Sochi, said back in December that Ameri-can hockey officials told him that security will be “very tight.”

“I know they men-tioned things about dif-ferent actions they were going to take as far as making sure ev-erything’s secure,” he said. “It seemed like they were on top of all that.”

Minnesota Wild de-fenceman Ryan Suter,

who will also play for the Americans, said after practice Wednes-day that his wife and two young children won’t be travelling to Russia. The long trip is part of the reason, but Suter said recent news about terrorist threats made the decision “a little bit easier.”

Another American Olympian, Suter’s friend and Wild team-mate Zach Parise, also advised his parents and relatives not to come. He said the situation is

“nerve wracking, that’s for sure.”

Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane’s parents travelled to Vancouver in 2010 to cheer for him and Team USA. He said Wednes-day his mother, a sister and his girlfriend are planning to come to Russia, despite the safety concerns.

“They understand what’s going on,” Kane said. “It’s their choice to go over there, and they wanted to. I’ll take the support for sure.”

ADELAIDE, Australia - The new president of cycling’s world body says Lance Armstrong’s lifetime ban for doping cold be reduced if he provides informa-tion which assists other doping investigations.

Brian Cookson became UCI president in September and es-tablished the Cycling Indepen-dent Reform Commission which will examine the history of doping in professional cycling

and probe allegations the UCI conspired to cover up doping activity.

Cookson said the commis-sion’s terms of reference might include an agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency and the United States Anti-Doping Agency to reduce sanctions on cyclists who co-operate with the inquiry.

He said “there will be the possibility of a reduction” in Armstrong’s case if he provides

information which assists any investigation but stressed the UCI does not have the power to make such a deal.

“It all depends on what infor-mation Lance has and what he’s able to reveal,” Cookson said. “Actually that’s not going to be in my hands. He’s been sanctioned by USADA.

“They would have to agree to any reduction in his sanction based on the validity and strength of the information that

he provided. If they’re happy, if WADA are happy, then I will be happy.”

Cookson the three members of the commission including Australian Peter Nicholson, a specialist investigator, were in-sistent their investigation would be thorough and impartial.

“They don’t want their own personal reputation damaged by any hint of a suggestion that they’ve been involved in - let’s call it a whitewash,” he said.

A lower Canadian dollar and a slow recov-ery in the U.S. and around the world bode well for the B.C. econo-my in the next two years, a new report from the Business Council of B.C. says.

“The U.S. economy is gaining ground, the Eu-rozone is out of reces-sion, and Asia, particu-larly China, continues to expand at a robust clip,” said executive vice pres-ident Jock Finlayson as he released the BCBC economic outlook re-port Tuesday. “The

B.C. economy should rebound, Business Council says

Truck Loggers’ AssociATion

Rick Parcher worked on gas drilling rigs in north-ern B.C. and Alberta for 15 years before returning to B.C. last fall to carry on a family tradition as a charge hand at Alternative Forest Operations in Chemainus.

weakening of the Cana-dian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will also help lift B.C.’s export of goods and services to the U.S., prompt more U.S. travellers to come to B.C., and serve as a headwind to cross-bor-der shopping.”

The report forecasts improvement in U.S. de-mand for lumber and other building materials, wood pulp and even natural gas, which has fallen to historic lows with a surge of shale gas production around North America.

Recovery of the strug-gling B.C. coastal forest industry was echoed at last week’s Truck Log-

gers’ Association con-vention.

“I’ve got a desk cov-ered with resumes of people who work in the oil patch,” said Don Ban-asky, operations manag-er at CopCan Contract-ing Ltd. and FallTech Logging in Nanaimo and vice-president of the TLA.

Banasky said there are openings for road building, driller-blaster, grader and excavator operators in his opera-tions, and some employ-ees at remote oil and gas developments are anx-ious to work closer to home.

The BCBC report holds out hope for a B.C.

government that has seen its much-adver-tised jobs plan fizzle in the past two years.

“Following essential-ly no net employment growth in 2013, we see the B.C. job market re-covering in the coming year,” the report says. “Growing exports, high-er non-residential con-struction outlays and some increase in con-sumer spending will translate into greater de-mand for working and more hiring by B.C. businesses.”

The report forecasts that two liquefied natu-ral gas processing plants and pipelines to supply them will begin in 2015.

c anadian PressOTTAWA — The Bank of

Canada is maintaining its key interest rate at one per cent, where it’s been for more than three years during a weak eco-nomic recovery from the last recession.

But the central bank is low-ering its forecast for inflation,

even though the economy is showing signs of improve-ment.

It says Canadian inflation has been lower than expected and won’t return to its ideal target for about two years.

The bank says Canada’s economic growth in the sec-ond half of 2013 was better

than expected — rising to 2.5 per cent in the fourth quarter.

For the full year, the bank is projecting the economy grew by 1.8 per cent in 2013 and will pick up to 2.5 per cent in both 2014 and 2015.

It says stronger demand in the United States as well as the lower Canadian dollar should

help boost exports, which will also improve business confi-dence and investment.

The bank says it will make its next interest rate announce-ment on March 5 and release its updated outlook for the economy and inflation — in-cluding risks to the projection — on April 16.

Huatulco (pro-nounced ‘wah-TOOL-co”) is an

unspoiled gem nestled on the south-west coast of Mexico, at the base of the Sierra Madre Moun-tains. Here, where the mountains meet the Pa-cific Ocean, you’ll find 36 stunning beaches tucked into nine bays.

There’s no shortage of places to explore and stunning visuals in Huat-ulco. Jump aboard a cat-amaran, or hire a boat to take you out on the water for the day. Most of Huatulco’s shoreline is accessible by water only.

The beaches are pris-tine and vary from tiny coves to huge sand dunes.

The colours vary: you’ll find deep azure blue, turquoise, and clear emerald green.

Spend some time walking these secluded beaches; you’ll likely be

the only soul leaving footprints.

Colourful fish, coral, eels, and blowfish are a few of the underwater snorkelling delights you’ll find in the warm waters of Huatulco.

Keep your eyes peeled: if you’re lucky you may find yourself alongside a decent sized sea turtle!

Be sure to take time to have lunch at a little beachfront palapa vil-lage, where the catch of the day was caught just a few hours earlier.

The backdrop of the Sierra Madres provides perfect coffee growing conditions. Pluma Hi-dalgo is the finest of or-ganic javas, sought by European coffee drink-ers. Hike through a plan-tation and see how the beans are separated, dried and roasted.

Deep sea fishing awaits the fishing enthu-

siast. If you’re a birder you’re in ornithology country.

When kayaking or paddle boarding, be sure to take a mask and snor-kel; this way you’ll never miss a snorkelling op-portunity.

You can even visit Co-palita, an archeological site recently opened to the public.

The two small towns of Santa Cruz (small port town) and La Crucecita (a few kilometres inland) offer shopping, restau-rants, beautiful town squares and lovely local churches.

Shopping finds in-clude beautiful Mexican silver, hand-loomed tex-tiles, organic coffee, chocolate and colourful-ly painted animal art.

Be sure to sample the local specialties – Oaxa-coan cheese, Mezcal and Chapulines (roasted grasshoppers, which are

Wowed by Huatulco!

Travel consultant Diane Manson just re-turned from Huatulco.

“Huatulco is friendly, safe, and the weather is consistently sunny and warm! The locals highly respect the land, water, birds and marine life. The area is ‘clean as a whistle’ – where you’re hard pressed to find even a scrap of litter. This unspoiled coastline of Mexico is a real gem. I can hardly wait to go back!”

Hello Wendy:I have wanted to write to

you for some time now but didn’t seem to have the cour-age.

My mom and I have had a lot of problems and I was wondering if we would be talking anytime soon?

She is not a bad mom — she doesn’t drink or take drugs — but I feel she is se-vere with me most of the times when we talk. We al-ways fight when we are to-gether and it upsets me.

I also want to ask about my grandpa in heaven — is he doing okay? My grandma and I are close and she gets sad when she talks about grandpa not being here any-more.

I have been thinking of going back to school and doing something with my life — do you see that happen-ing?

I haven’t had good rela-tionships with the men in my life. I am taking your advice that you give others in your columns, and that is not to pursue a relationship with a man until I know who I am. I recently broke up with my

boyfriend and I am thinking that wasn’t a good idea.

What do you and your guides think?

Feeling Forlorn

Dear Feeling Forlorn:We did a spec on your

mom. I wanted to check if she was on drugs or drinks a lot of alcohol and the answer was no.

I also checked on her health and she seems fairly healthy but my guides say her nerves are not the best at this time.

I think your mom has had a hard life and your dad wasn’t the best when it came to being a loving and kind husband. We don’t see them together at this time. I’m glad she finally saw the light, as they say, with your dad. We picked up he was rather ver-bally abusive with her. How-ever, your question was: will you be talking and having a personal relationship with your mom in the near future? The answer I received from my guides is in or around 2018.

I know you miss your mom and talking to her, and

you can change this predic-tion if you can change your attitude with your mom.

You say your mom is se-vere. Well, we say your mom gets rather angry when you lie to her like you do. That’s why she gets frustrated and seems so severe with you.

You have been playing your games with your mom since you were a teenager and she is tired of it. You need to be accountable for your actions and you don’t want to do that at this time.

We feel one day you will be a mom and don’t forget what goes around comes around. It’s time to stop play-ing games with your mom and treat her with the respect she deserves.

We all know our moms drive us crazy because they are always telling us to be careful and trying to protect us as best they can.

Deep inside we know when we hear the truth it aggravates us or makes us scared. We take it out on our moms, because who likes to hear the truth?

However, good old mom has put up with the rants and raves and rejections from you because she wants you to be the best you can be and have a good life. So for your sake as well as your mom’s go and apologize to her and tell her you are sorry.

If you can see that and have some respect for her then I think things will be different in your relationship between you and her. When she’s starting to drive you crazy just give her a kiss, tell her you love her and then go home and think about what she is saying.

You don’t have to fight with her all the time — if you disagree with her you can just do what you want, which you do anyway.

Your grandpa is doing fine in heaven. Tell your grandma he is fishing with a young man and I think it is someone in the family that passed over at an early age.

Come to your own emotional rescueaSK WeNDY

Wendy Evano

This young man is tall and rather slender, looks like he has brown hair. So perhaps grandma will know whom I am talking about.

You and I both know that your last relationship with this young man was going nowhere.

Yes, we think it would be a good idea for you to go back to school. You are working in a job that hardly supports you monetarily.

We also feel that you are afraid to fail, but if you don’t fail in your life then you ar-en’t living in the real world. We all fail, that’s how we learn.

So, go back to school, start being accountable for what you do and say to yourself and others, and start respect-ing yourself and your mom. This means get educated; get a different, more positive at-titude and stop waiting for a man to come to your emo-tional rescue.

You need to come to your own emotional rescue. That is one of your lessons.

Wendy

Cranbrook Community Theatre Presents

COURTESY DONNA GR AINGERTheir commitment to supporting

breast cancer care never ceases. This week East Kootenay Founda-

tion for Health’s Starlite Campaign re-ceived an additional boost of support thanks to a second gift of $3,000 from the Abreast in the Rockies Dragonboat Association.

The club’s two gifts combined to a total of $5,000 with the funds being stewarded by EKFH.

Accepting the gift on behalf of the Starlite Campaign was one of the foundation’s newest board members.

Mark Dickson and his family moved to Cranbrook a few months ago. “I am humbled to accept this gift on behalf of EKFH,” Dickson said. “My mom has had a breast cancer diagno-sis and seeing the generous support of

the women involved with the Abreast in the Rockies Dragonboat team is so rewarding. It is also gratifying to know our foundation supports their com-mitment to giving back.”

Over the past decade the Dragon-boaters have directed some of its fundraising proceeds to support breast cancer care initiatives at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. Some of the memorable projects the paddlers have reinforced include a refurbishment of the EKRH oncology unit, funding to help purchase a node biopsy probe for the EKRH Surgical Team and most recently its visible and financial support for the A Clear View — digital mammography campaign.

The Starlite Campaign is entering its final week with the stars fading away at the end of January.

SUBMITTED

Mark Dickson (EKFH Director) received a cheque of $3,000 from Abreast in the Rockies Dragonboat members Tootie Gripich and Sandy Zeznik.

Dragonboaters donate another $3,000 to Starlite

CRESTON VALLEY ADVANCE

On Jan. 25, the Yahk Kingsgate Recreation Society is hosting its seventh annual Winter-fest, an event that cele-brates community with the emphasis on family fun. With the support of the Columbia Basin Trust, Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B and other do-nors, the event is still admission-free for all to enjoy.

The day will start at 2 p.m. with outdoor

snow bocce and more — plus prizes! For those looking for something a little more relaxing, there will be hayrides throughout the day.

Food always is a big hit, starting with the outdoor kitchen with hotdogs and hot choco-late, followed at 5:30 p.m. with an orange or parmesan chicken din-ner and dessert. For some, this is where the event swings into high gear with the entertain-ment and raffle draws, including a logging truck load of firewood ($1,200 value), 10 frozen chickens and an Over-waitea Foods gift certifi-cate. The proceeds go toward replacing the roof on the Yahk-Kings-gate Community Hall.

This year, the head-lining act is Jason Scott’s Diamond Forev-er: A Celebration of Neil Diamond at 7 p.m.

And, of course, Zak the Yak will be around all day long, providing its own brand of enter-tainment and frivolity.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A meeting might take place in the morning. By the afternoon, you will seek out individuals rather than groups. Use your intuition when dealing with a feisty partner. How you see a situation could change because of a conversation. Tonight: Avoid sending mixed messages. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Complete a good amount of work by midday. An associate, partner or loved one could de-mand a lot of attention in the afternoon. You know what you want, but the other party might not be as sure. A discussion could be difficult, as a result. Tonight: Mix friends and fun. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Tap into your imagination in the morning, when an idea is more likely to serve you. Late after-noon presents a different out-look and a far more demanding schedule. A boss might be eye-ing your performance. Do not disappoint him or her. Tonight: Clear out as fast as you can.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your temper could rise to the surface in the morning, yet by the afternoon, you might forget what had upset you. Your imagi-nation fills in the gaps and easily can find a solution. Tap into your instincts regarding a child or loved one. You will know what to do. Tonight: All smiles. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Return calls, make time for a meeting and handle as much as you can in the morning. By the afternoon, you will want to become less available. You might have a situation on your mind that you need to sort out. Give yourself some extra time to reflect. Tonight: At home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of what someone else expects, because you don’t want to disappoint this person. In some form, you could send mixed signals. To keep that from happening, be clear with your-self before you act on a personal matter. Tonight: Meet a friend for munchies. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Get a head start on your day,

if possible. If an important matter must be handled, do it the morning. By the afternoon, your concerns might change. A discussion about finances seems inevitable. Be aware of a certain insecurity that seems to control you. Tonight: Your treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could feel off in the morn-ing and wonder why you are proceeding the way you are. Stop. Think things through, and take your time. You could feel a lot differently about the same situation a little later. A fami-ly member tends to drag you down. Tonight: At home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Dealings with others are high-lighted. You need a better sense of direction and an idea of what you want. If you are straight-forward, others are likely to re-spond in kind. Use the afternoon for doing some quiet work, and perhaps make a call or two. To-night: Do your vanishing act. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Several associates will seek you out for advice. Right now, you need to take a strong stance.

Don’t allow anyone to distract you. Understanding will evolve later in the day. A meeting could allow you to share recent events and news. Tonight: Start the weekend early. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be making an import-ant decision before you know it. Your take-charge attitude will pay off quickly. Don’t hesitate to stay on top of a key situation, as no one else cares about your interests as much as you do. Tonight: Loosen up, and enjoy what is happening with a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A direct conversation estab-lishes a connection, but not necessarily an agreement. You could be in for a fast change if you are not careful. How you deal with a friend or loved one might change, given a different perspective. Detach. Tonight: Only where there is music. BORN TODAY Writer Stendhal (1783), painter Edouard Manet (1832), singer Rachel Crow (1998) ***

Dear Annie: I was married for 30 years to a man I loved deeply. I know perfectly well he is not perfect (who is?) and saw him struggle to control his temper and sharp tongue. He had a schizophrenic father and an alcoholic mother. They divorced when he was about 10, and he bounced from foster home to foster home. He slept in alleys and ate from garbage cans.

He was deeply loving, fiercely protective and faithful. He had compassion for the downtrodden and often gave away food, clothing and money to the less fortunate. I loved his heart of “pure mush,” as he put it. Unfortunately, my family only saw his quick temper and said he was only using me for my money. He always worked, just at lower-paying jobs, and we learned to live with less so we could give more away. They never saw the generous things he did.

When he died, I notified both families and received no condolences whatsoever. His family has never acknowledged his passing. My family members seem intent on degrad-ing him in front of our mutual friends and me. These are people who claim they care about me, but I wonder. Why won’t they let the man rest in peace and leave me with my loving memories, instead of trying to justify their apparent hostility? He’s dead now and can’t aggravate them anymore. How can I get them to stop? -- Still Loving My One and Only

Dear Still: You have to tell them and make it stick. If your relatives begin denigrating your late husband, respond with: “Please stop saying terrible things about someone I loved. It makes my grieving more difficult.” Don’t lose your temper or cry. Simply make your statement, and if they continue to say unkind things, get up and leave. Eventually, they will stop, but at least you won’t have to listen to their comments in the meantime. Our condolences on your loss.

Dear Annie: My daughter has never let me meet my grandson. He was born in May, and the last time I saw my daughter was in March when I hosted a baby shower.

She and her boyfriend don’t believe in God. I asked them whether they would bless the child, but they became angry. She is really breaking my heart. I can’t believe she is so evil. What can I do to resolve this? Dear Grandma: People who are deeply re-ligious often do not understand how offen-sive their religious demands are to people who do not share their beliefs. By asking your daughter to bless the child, you were showing disrespect for her and her boy-friend. We know you strongly disagree with their approach to raising their child, but it is not your decision to make. If you ever hope to have a relationship with your grandchild, you will need to demonstrate to your daugh-ter that you can be trusted not to undermine her parental authority.

Dear Annie: Thank you for your poignant answer to “In Love With Another Man,” the foolish married woman who has reconnect-ed with an old flame. I, too, had an over-ly close relationship with a man despite a perfectly good marriage. Circumstances in my life made me emotionally fragile, and “the other man” set off sparks that had only vaguely smoldered in the marital day-to-day. Long conversations with a counselor made me realize that “the other man” had all sorts of traits that would be repugnant to me if it weren’t for the excitement and the romance of the fling, and I eventually found my way back to the man I married. I pray “In Love” follows your excellent advice and does the same. -- Never More in Love Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Postmedia News

OTTAWA - The De-fence Department has pegged the full cost of Canada buying, owning, replacing and disposing of 65 F-35 stealth fight-ers at $44.8 billion over 42 years, according to a report tabled in the House of Commons Tuesday.†It’s the first time Canadians have been presented the full price Canada can expect to bear all the way from the aircraft’s develop-ment through to dispos-al, and it far surpasses any previous figure made public.

The report comes after years of criticism over what has been seen as the Harper govern-ment’s refusal to fully disclose how much the F-35s will cost.

The costs have also been made public as the government has been trying to prove to Cana-dians that it has truly pushed the “reset” but-ton on its plans to pur-chase F-35s.

Yet even the num-bers included in the re-port aren’t the full story, as the Department of National Defence warned that “these esti-mates will change as more information be-comes available.”

Among the un-knowns are inflation, exchange rate changes and a variety of other unknown costs and variables that could af-fect the cost estimates by billions of dollars.

There are also a number of built-in as-sumptions that, if prov-en false, would also raise the price tag.

This includes a pre-diction the F-35s will be flown 20-per-cent less than Canada’s current fleet of CF-18s and that a total of 3,100 F-35s will be bought by Canada and its allies.

A reduction of 400 aircraft, the report states, would increase Canada’s costs by $500 million.

The report also doesn’t include the cost of acquiring between seven and 11 replace-ment aircraft that are predicted to be needed as some of Canada’s F-35s crash or are other-wise lost over the course of the program.

This alone is expect-

ed to cost $1 billion - which would bring the $44.8-billion cost to $45.8 billion.

The report does vin-dicate some of the cost predictions presented by National Defence in the past, including its estimate that the aircraft will cost about $25 bil-lion over 20 years.

It also shows that as things stand, the cost of simply buying the air-craft would be within the $9 billion set aside by the Harper govern-ment to replace Cana-da’s aging fleet of CF-18s - for now.

The government had initially set aside an $800-million contingen-cy to offset any variables in the actual cost of pur-chasing the stealth fight-ers.

But that number has since shrunk by 25 per cent to $602 million as the estimated cost of each F-35 has increased from about $75 million to $87.4 million.

That could be signifi-cant as the report says there could be a cost fluctuation of as much as 28 per cent - or $1. 7 billion - if things don’t go as planned.

“Based on the capa-bility of modern aircraft and simulator technolo-gy, it is expected that a fleet of up to 65 aircraft will provide sufficient capacity and flexibility to maintain Canada’s defence commitments at home and abroad,” the report concludes.

Yet the report also

says that the loss of an aircraft - or, by infer-ence, the decision to buy fewer than 65 F-35s - “would result in a di-minished capacity to undertake and sustain discretionary opera-tions.

“Therefore, opera-tional risk will need to be managed, partly through the assignment of additional flying hours to the remaining aircraft, if lost aircraft is not replaced.”

Industry Canada has also downsized its esti-mate for how much Ca-nadian business can ex-pect to benefit if Canada does go ahead with its plans to purchase the F-35, from $10.5 billion U.S. to less than $9.8 bil-lion U.S.

Exactly why Canadi-an companies are ex-pected to have $700 mil-lion less in opportuni-ties associated with the F-35 is not clear.

While the cost esti-mates are based on the idea of Canada replac-ing its CF-18s with the stealth fighter, which re-mains an option, the government has also di-rected the Canadian Forces to consider all other possible options.

Defence is currently re-assessing what mis-sions Canada’s next air-craft will be required to fly, what threats it will face and what technolo-gy and capabilities are available to Canada.

This will also include reaching out to other aircraft manufacturers

Long-term cost of F-35 jet fighter almost $45 billion, new report confirms

such as Boeing and Eu-rofighter to determine what their aircraft are able to do and how much they will cost compared to the F-35.

It’s not clear whether those companies will co-operate or not unless an open competition is held, something the government has so far refused to discuss.

REGINA — A mem-ber of the Saskatchewan RCMP has made an ap-pearance on the Katie Couric show in New York City.

Cpl. Doug Green told the story Tuesday of how a drone helped save the life of a driver in a single vehicle rollover near St. Denis, Sask., in May 2013.

Green told Couric that the 25-year-old man called 911 but couldn’t direct officers to his location because he had become disori-ented and got lost in the woods in freezing tem-peratures.

With the help of SaskTel, police used the GPS location of that phone call to narrow the search area closer to photo Courtesy Katie CouriC show

RCMP officer appears on U.S. Katie Couric show to describe drone rescue

where the man was.Officers on scene

used a loud siren to try to help the man get to their location but he wasn’t responding.

That’s when Green put the small, mechani-cal drone into the air and it found the man curled up in a ball at the base of a tree next to a snow bank, unrespon-

sive.“He was in the latter

stages of hypothermia when we found him,’’ said Green. “We figure in another two hours he would have succumbed to his injuries and the cold.’’

The man was taken to hospital and eventu-ally recovered from the ordeal.

TORONTO — A survey of more than 5,400 Canadian kids in grades 4 through 11 found a majority had their own cell-phone, while nearly one in four of the youngest children owned a mobile de-vice.

The non-profit or-ganization Medi-aSmarts worked with schools and parents in each province and territory to conduct the wide-ranging survey, which asked kids a few dozen questions about their Internet usage.

It wasn’t surpris-ing that nearly 90 per cent of the oldest stu-dents said they had their own cellphone, said MediaSmarts director of education Matthew Johnson.

But it was eye-opening for him to learn that about a quarter of nine- and 10-year-old students had their own device.

“The numbers were definitely high-er than we expected at the younger end,’’ said Johnson.

Almost all of the 5,436 students polled said they had access to the Internet out-side of school. Six per cent of the kids didn’t

have Internet access at home but went online at local libraries and com-munity centres.

When asked what they commonly did on-line, 59 per cent said they played games, 52 per cent said they read social media posts and 51 per cent said they downloaded or streamed music, TV shows and movies.

When asked about their favourite websites, YouTube was the clear winner among the more than 3,000 mentioned, chosen by 75 per cent of the students. Facebook was second, followed by Google, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Minecraft, Miniclip, Hotmail and Wikipedia.

Although Facebook’s rules state that users must be at least 13 years old to use the site, a third of the underage students in grades four through six said they had an account anyway, and 16 per cent of those kids were signed up for Twitter.

Among the older kids, 82 per cent had Facebook accounts and 47 per cent were on Twitter.

About 82 per cent of the girls and 63 per cent of the boys surveyed agreed when asked if they thought they could be hurt by online strang-ers, while 51 per cent of the girls and 61 per cent of the boys said they considered the Internet a safe place for them.

Meanwhile, about 90 per cent of both boys and girls agreed with the statement “I know how to protect myself online.’’ Even the youngest kids in Grade 4 expressed confidence with that statement, with 77 per cent agreeing with it.

About 84 per cent of the kids surveyed said their parents had at least one rule regarding their online behaviour. Some were told not to post personal information online, talk to strangers, visit certain websites, download content, or disrespect others.

When asked if they’re with an adult while using the Internet, 80 per cent said either rare-ly or never. Among the Grade 4 kids, 30 per cent said usually, 45 per cent said rarely and 20 per cent said never.

25% of Grade 4 students have their

own cellphone

A l i c i A c h A n gAssociated Press

LOS ANGELES — The larg-est object in the asteroid belt just got more attractive: Scien-tists have confirmed signs of water on the dwarf planet Ceres, one of the few bodies in the solar system to hold that distinction.

Peering through the Her-schel Space Observatory, a team led by the European Space Agency detected water plumes spewing from two re-gions on Ceres.

The observations, pub-lished in Thursday’s issue of Nature, come as NASA’s Dawn spacecraft is set to arrive at the Texas-sized dwarf planet next year.

It’s long been suspected that Ceres is water-rich, but previous detections have been inconclusive. This is the first definitive evidence of water on Ceres and confirms that it has an icy surface, said lead au-thor Michael Kuppers of the European Space Agency.

“It makes Ceres a more ex-citing target’’ for exploration, he said.

The latest finding puts Ceres in a special class of solar system objects with active plumes of water, a key ingredi-ent for life. The company in-cludes Jupiter’s moon Europa — where an underground ocean is believed to exist — and the Saturn moon Ence-ladus, where jets have been seen venting from the surface.

The source of the water plumes is still unclear. Scien-tists think there may be a layer of ice just below the surface that gets heated by the sun or the plumes could be spewed by ice volcanoes.

Dawn won’t be in the best position to witness any water activity since it’ll arrive at a time when Ceres is far from the sun. But the spacecraft carries instruments that can detect water and it will map the dwarf planet in detail, said Dawn deputy project scientist Carol Raymond, who had no role in the research.

Launched in 2007 and powered by ion propulsion, Dawn is the first spacecraft to orbit two space rocks.

Ceres is different from

Dawn’s first target, Vesta, the second largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The zone is lit-tered with rocks left over from the formation of the solar sys-tem 4.6 billion years ago, al-lowing scientists to study how

Earth and the other planets evolved.

Unlike Ceres, Vesta is dry and rugged. Its scars reveal it got whacked twice by smaller asteroids. Some of the debris was cast into space and rained on Earth as meteorites.

SOCHI, Russia — At least one Olympic bathroom seems to be flush with toilets.

When BBC reporter Steve Rosenberg went to use the bathroom at the cross-country skiing and biath-lon centre for next month’s Winter Olympics in Sochi, he found two toilets but only one stall.

His tweeted picture instantly became a nation-al joke.

Although toi-lets like that are not common in Russia, social media users post-ed photos of other side-by-side toilets, in-cluding ones in a courthouse and a cafe.

He posted a photo showing two urinals and three toilets in a large room.

Russians jested that the toilets in Sochi were de-signed for a “tandem,’’ the name used to describe the duo of President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. One popular blogger altered Rosenberg’s photo to put in a framed portrait of the two leaders above the toilets.

In a nod to the tight security measures imposed in Sochi for the Winter Olympics, another joke has it that the second toilet was for a Russian security offi-cer.

The Sochi organizing committee refused to com-ment on the picture. The games run from Feb. 7-23.

Photo of twin toilets at Sochi goes viral in Russia

One for Vladimir, one for Dmitry
