The Kimberley Community Band, conducted by Ian Ferrie, played last Thursday evening in the Anglican Church Hall. A rousing rendition of Les Miserables led off, then Lord of the Dance, Hallelujah, Music of the Beatles and Greek Folk Song Suite #1. Intermission followed, with tasty goodies, tea and coffee. The second half of the performance included Blues Brothers Revue, Caravan, Genius of Ray Charles, Hawaii Five-o and the evening concluded with a bluesy St. Thomas. As always, the audience were treated to a very enjoyable evening.

Bulletin Editor

The 2015 IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships are taking place at Panorama next week. Kimberley had put in a bid to host the World Champi-onships when it was announced they would be in Canada, but was not suc-cessful.

However, Kimberley is hosting the tune-up event, the NorAm Cup, this week, starting with the downhill on the

Dreadnaught on Wednesday. Downhill and super-combined training began Monday. The super-combined race is scheduled for Thursday.

Approximately 50 skiers from Cana-da, the U.S., Russia, Slovenia, Australia, Spain and Great Britain are here for the races this week.

Donna Briggs, one of the event orga-nizers, says the track is in great shape with the recent snow and return to colder temperatures.

“Training is going well. For a down-hill you need a hard track and the tem-peratures below zero at night is really helping with that,” she said. “This is ideal weather for racing, especially for speed events.

“There are lots of people here who have never been to Kimberley before and they are really enjoying it. Every-one is having a really good time.

Kendall Salanski and Jeff Pascuzzo have both worked at the theatre for almost a decade. Kend-all has been there fro al-most nine years, while Jeff is closing in on 10 years.

Although the Slopes for Hope has been post-poned until 2016, the head-shaving fund rais-er for Tim Besold will proceed as planned. This event will take place at 3 p.m. on Satur-day Feb. 28 in the plaza outside the Stemwinder Bar & Grill at the Kim-berley Alpine Resort. Ralph Rudser, Guest Guide at the resort, will have his locks shaved for Tim.

Twenty-one year old Kimberley resident Tim Besold is undergoing Chemo treatments to combat Hodgkins Lym-phoma. Tim’s hospital-ization and cancer treat-ments have forced him to drop out of college and has put significant financial strain on his mother Christine Be-sold (Administrator Centre 64) and her part-ner, Craig Hillman (Kimberley School Dis-trict #6 and “Hollers” bass guitarist) as they take time off work to support Tim’s medical treatments.

One hundred per-cent of all funds collect-

ed will go to Tim and his family. Funds will be collected during the head shaving event, and the community is en-couraged to attend and support one of Kimber-ley’s own. If you wish to contribute but can not attend the event, please make a cheque out to Christine Besold and send to Ralph Rudser, PO Box 381, Kimberley BC, V1A 2Y9.

Please be aware that since contributions are made to Tim and not a non-profit, tax receipts will not be available for your contribution.

Tim and his family thank you very much for your support.

February 28, Kimberley

Public Library

April WellsFor the Bulletin

What’s a Seedy Sat-urday? Why have a Seed Library when you can buy them at the gro-cery for only a few dol-lars? Should you buy hybrid seeds? (And what are they?) What vegetables should you plant first in Kimberley?

For the answer to these questions and more, come to the Seed School at Seedy Satur-day, 11 am and 1 pm. The Seedy Saturday dis-plays and volunteers will be in the open area at the Kimberley Public

Library from 10 am to 2 pm on February 28th.

Seed School will in-clude a soil block and seed starting demon-stration and hear from local gardeners who enjoy tastier vegetables and hope that you’ll grow some too. Learn which seeds will be best planted indoors in a sunny window and which directly in the garden. And have a chance to ask your gar-den questions and meet Kimberley gardeners.

Bring seeds to share or sell. Take home free seeds from our Seed Li-brary at the Public Li-brary anytime; you don’t even need a li-brary card to take seeds.

See you there!

Second annual Seedy Saturday

When faced with a choice on who to help, the BC Liberals didn’t

choose you

Every February the government releases a new Provincial budget, and every year, the gov-ernment has to make choices about what it is going to do with your tax dollars.

This year, the BC Lib-erals made a very clear choice; they chose to re-ward British Columbia’s most wealthy and privi-leged citizens, and they chose to hurt those with low or median incomes.

One of the most sig-nificant choices that the BC Liberals made was to cut taxes to the wealthi-est 2% which will result in a loss of revenue to the province of nearly a billion dollars over the next 4 years. That’s a billion dollars that will no longer be there to spend on education, healthcare, highways and other service that British Columbians rely on.

The cost of living is rising for BC’s middle class and those on fixed incomes. Deliberate choices in this budget are resulting in rising rates for BC Hydro, ICBC and MSP. BC Hydro will go up 6% in 2015. ICBC rates are up 5.2%. Medical Services Plan premiums go up 4%. For Hydro, MSP and ICBC alone, the av-erage increase per fami-ly will be $175 this year.

If we look back to the 2013 election campaign, Christy Clark promised a Debt Free BC. But

since the last election, the debt will be in-creased by $28 billion. The BC Liberals have in-creased BC’s debt by $130 billion since they were first elected.

But where is all that money going?

There is no real money for the Trans Canada Highway twin-ning project that has been promised so many times.

Public school fund-ing does not meet costs, yet in this budget the BC Liberals found money to increase public funding to private schools.

And despite the fact that we pay ever in-creasing MSP premi-ums, health ministry funding does not meet the public need.

The BC Liberals chose once again to re-ward their political friends. The top 2% got a billion dollars while everyone else got less. These are the reasons that I will be voting against BC Liberal Bud-get 2015.

Monday’s Kootenay

Granite Stone Soup Challenge featured dancing

chefs and two delicious,

diverse soups

CRANBROOK – To-day’s semi-final match-up in the Kootenay Gran-ite Stone Soup Challenge was an extra special event: the Salvation Army cook of more than 11 years, Kathy Morey, took on Executive Chef Rusty Cox of The Heid Out Restaurant and Brew-house. The two had a ton of fun cooking, creating, laughing, and even danc-ing.

Chef Cox has more than 18 years of culinary experience as a chef in first-rate restaurants and resorts around the globe. But his accomplished re-sume didn’t automatical-ly make him today’s saf-est bet. Morey has been running the Salvation Army kitchen for more than a decade. She knows the kitchen, the ingredi-ents, and the clients.

And today, that knowledge propelled Morey to the win. Her beef barley soup was nar-rowly voted in favour of

Cox’s ginger chicken soup.

“The whole thing so far has been so much fun,” said Morey. “It’s been nice to have the chefs in the kitchen and it’s awesome to see the growing community awareness. A lot of peo-ple don’t know what goes on here, and it’s import-ant they do. Really, we’re all winners from this event.”

“It’s been an awesome experience,” said Chef

Cox, who is also a profes-sional ice carver. “Kathy and I had a good time today, and are already coming up with some ideas for next year’s chal-lenge: tying the compet-ing chefs together maybe?”

Both semi-final events are sponsored by College of the Rockies Profes-sional Cook Training. The other semi-final event will be held this Fri-day and features Chef Doug Wagner of St. Eu-

gene Mission Resort and Chef Shelby Schiller, BJ’s Diner and Creekside Pub, Kimberley.

Morey will compete against Friday’s winner at the grand finale event on March 4, noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort and Convention Centre, which is not only spon-soring the final event, but providing the Grand Ball-room, staff, and food. This ensures all funds raised at the event go di-

rectly towards the Salva-tion Army homeless shel-ter project and Cran-brook and District Com-munity Foundation gen-eral endowment fund, which provides annual grants to local non-prof-its.

Tickets to the public event are available in two prices: $25 for lunch; or, $45 for lunch and a $20 charitable receipt. They can be purchased with cash at Max’s Place or by calling 250.426.1119.

Letters to the editordeer Cull

I find it hard to believe that you are going ahead with a deer cull at this time of year. Cranbrook has been winter range for the deer for as long as I can remember, but yet at a time of very poor management by the Minis-try and the worst deer population that I can remember in my 47 years living in Cran-brook, you are going ahead with a cull that will likely target as many migrating deer as town deer.

The deer committee needs to step up and find another solution. As for the Ministry, you need to stop Whitetail doe slaughter be-fore it’s too late.

Barry BauerCranbrook

response to threatsHorrifically, as we have seen in Canada,

the international jihadist movement has declared war on us. Canadians are being targeted by these terrorists simply because they hate our society and the values it rep-resents.

One only need to look back over the past several weeks at the terrorist attacks in Ottawa and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu as well as attacks abroad in Australia and Paris, to see that the threat of radical Islam-ic extremism is a very real threat.

As I travel throughout Kootenay Co-lumbia, I hear constituents over and over saying that these threats require a strong response.

That is why, under the strong leader-ship of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, our Conservative Government took action and brought forward the Protection of Canada from Terrorists Act and Anti-ter-rorism Act 2015, that protects Canadians against jihadi terrorists who seek to de-stroy the very principles that make Canada the best country in the world to live.

Our Government rejects the argument that every time we talk about security, our freedoms are threatened. Canadians un-derstand that their freedom and security go hand in hand. Canadians expect us to protect both, and there are protections in this legislation to do exactly that.

The fundamental fact is that our police and national security agencies are working to protect our rights and our freedoms, and it is jihadi terrorists who endanger our se-curity and who would take away our free-doms.

Providing national security agencies

with new tools will ensure that gaps in sharing information about suspected ter-rorists does not limit their ability to pre-vent attacks on Canada or against Canadi-ans.

We as politicians do not enforce the law, but we have the duty to make sure that law enforcement has the necessary tools to keep Canadians safe. As a former RCMP officer, I can assure you that this govern-ment is doing everything in its power to continue to do just that.

David Wilks, Member of Parliament

Bill C-51I write this letter as a 20 year old politi-

cal science student who is concerned about democratic descent in Canada. Fur-thermore, I write this letter as a pre re-sponse to what I believe MP David Wilks will say about a bill that is currently in the second reading in the House of Com-mons. That bill is Bill C-51 — The An-ti-Terrorism Act. David Wilks will most likely tell you that this is a bill that protects Canadians against the terrifying acts of terrorism. However, we already have laws that protect citizens against terrorism. Might I remind you that the Toronto 18 were all charged under Canada’s current anti-terrorism laws. David Wilks’ words will most likely leave you in a state of fear. In contrast, I (as a concerned voter) will not write to instill fear, but rather, as an appeal to reasoning. For reasoning and logic is what seems to be lacking in the drafting of legislation in the Canadian House of Parliament. Bill C-51 is a travesty of democracy.

In Canada we have a deep and strong history of social movement and peaceful democratic protest. Whether it’s the On To Ottawa Trek, the women’s movement, or the Aboriginal Rights movement, Canada has a long and beautiful history of citizens gathering and protesting.

Canada’s historic protests have usually been peaceful, but illegal. Meaning acts of civil disobedience took place.

The core of my concern lies in the broadly defined language of the bill. As Independent MP and lawyer Brent Rathge-ber stated: “the terms are so imprecisely defined that, for example, it’s possible en-vironmental protesters could be consid-ered to be disrupting the economy, and fall within the measures of the bill.” The possi-

bility of the limitation of social movements is undemocratic, unreasonable, and un-constitutional.

Bill C-51 will not only limit protest, it will erode civil liberties, and give CSIS and police forces more power to detain without reason. Remember when I said I wouldn’t be writing to instil fear? I lied. The bill and the contents of the bill are scary. However, the solution to the bill is not. Write your MP, let your voice be heard! Also, I encour-age anyone to read the contents of the bill, especially you - David Wilks! I firmly be-lieve you wouldn’t be supporting this bill if you had read it. Or maybe I’m simply ask-ing too much from a politician?

BusinessSince winning the Liberal nomination

on April Fool’s Day 2000 with many guides in attendance, MLA Bill Bennett has had a difficult time explaining his partnership in a big game guiding business while claim-ing no conflict of interest. Newspapers from coast to coast have never been satis-fied with Mr. Bennett’s various twists in the tale.

His latest revelation on the subject of his shareholder loan to the guiding busi-ness is informative: “There’s no interest on it, there’s no promissory note. If I demand-ed repayment on that loan, I have no doc-umentation that would require them to repay the loan. It sits on the books and I disclose it every year in my conflict of in-terest disclosure statement.” [“Bennett re-futes conflict of interest rumours,” Towns-man, Feb. 20, 2015]

We can all be glad unbelievable Bill is not the Finance Minister.

The B.C. government in-tends to pull more money out of ICBC in the years ahead.

The annual dividend from the public auto insurer – which goes into general government revenue despite repeated de-mands from critics for lower premiums instead – is estimat-ed at $160 million a year in each of 2015, 2016 and 2017, according to budget docu-ments.

That’s an increase from es-timates of $155 million for 2015 and $125 million for 2016 in last year’s budget.

By the end of 2017, the province will have taken $1.5

Province digs deeper into ICBC, Hydro piggy banksbillion from ICBC coffers since 2010.

The money comes from the profits on ICBC’s optional in-surance side, which can’t be used to reduce basic auto pre-miums because the two sides of the business are segregated.

Critics accused the govern-ment of building its budget surplus by having Crown cor-porations like ICBC and BC Hydro charge customers more

than is required. Finance Min-ister Mike de Jong calls it a dividend to the shareholders.

Electricity rates are rising six per cent while BC Hydro’s net income – most of which is remitted to government – climbs from $549 million last year to about $700 million by 2017. Energy Minister Bill Ben-nett has promised to eventual-ly reduce and eliminate the Hydro transfers.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation was critical of the latest 4.2 per cent increase in Medical Service Plan premi-ums, calling it a continuing tax hike that exceeds inflation. A family of three will pay $150 per month in MSP premiums, up 40 per cent in five years.

The pattern of service fee increases and income tax re-straint is a recurring one in B.C. budgets.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2015

The B.C. government’s third straight budget surplus is the main battleground for provincial politicians this spring, with little else on the order paper to argue about.

The main conflict is over the tax cut for the rich that results from removing a two-year surtax on personal in-come greater than $150,000 a year. It’s an outrage, says the NDP, starving our threadbare government services of more than $200 million over the next three years.

NDP leader John Horgan set the tone in his reply to Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s budget speech:

“I can appreciate that the minister was celebrating with the champagne-and-cav-iar set, but the rest of British Columbia saw $700 million in increased fees and taxes on their backs.”

Old news, de Jong replied. It was a two-year surtax on high-income earners to help get B.C. out of its post-recession red ink, and it expired as it was legislated to do.

This political theatre doesn’t help peo-ple understand what’s actually going on. First, a lot of that red ink was B.C. Liberal blood from dismantling the harmonized sales tax and repaying Ottawa for that failed experiment.

Second, this temporary tax on the rich

was a political strategy by de Jong and Pre-mier Christy Clark, limping into an elec-tion most expected them to lose. De Jong’s debut budget in February 2013 also accel-erated a small increase in corporate in-come tax, stealing two populist planks from Adrian Dix’s NDP platform.

Ending the surtax not only kept a promise, it kept B.C. competitive with Alberta on personal income taxes. High wage earners and many of their businesses are more mobile every year, which is why this year’s budget also extended tax breaks for high-tech and digital media com-

panies.Another tweak in de Jong’s budget was

to increase the low-income cutoff for per-sonal income tax from $18,000 to $19,000. Those with the lowest incomes are relieved not only of income tax but also medical premiums, which continue to march up by another four per cent, and are mostly paid by employers.

As with the federal election set for this fall, we will hear a lot about the burden on the vaguely defined “middle class.” In B.C. they have to dig deeper for car insurance, hydro, ferry rides and post-secondary tui-tion, while those top-hatted cham-pagne-sippers party on with their tax holi-day?

Well, not exactly. Here’s an assessment

from Philip Cross, research co-ordinator at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and for-mer chief economic analyst at Statistics Canada.

Just after the 2013 B.C. election, Cross noted that Canada, its provinces, Europe and the United States have all been adjust-ing their tax systems to increase the load on wealthier people and ease it from the poor.

This has closed the wage gap consider-ably in Canada. By 2010, the top 20 per cent of earners were paying 58.3 per cent of all income taxes. That’s up from 50 per cent in 1976, showing how long Canada’s income taxes have been “progressive.” This is the main reason why “income inequali-ty,” that other great cause of the left, started leveling off in Canada around 1998.

Cross points to measures like the low-income exemption from income tax. By 2013, the bottom 40 per cent of Canadi-an households were paying just 6.8 per cent of income taxes, and more than a third of income tax filers were paying none at all.

Cross asks and answers the central question: Should the rich pay more? “If it’s a misinformed attempt to compensate for imaginary losses of low-income people, the answer is clearly no.”

The Kootenay Ice look to build upon a three-game winning streak as they head east for four consecutive games this week, begin-ning with a Tuesday tilt in Swift Current against the Broncos.

The Ice own a 2-1-0-0 record against the Broncos to this point in the four-game season series, with Tuesday night representing the final meeting of the year between the two teams.

Tuesday’s contest holds playoff implica-tions for both Eastern Conference teams.

At 29-25-1-4 (63 points) the Broncos hold down third place and a 10-point cushion

on the fourth-place Moose Jaw Warriors in the WHL’s East Division.

For the Central Divi-sion’s fourth-place Koo-tenay Ice (31-27-1-1, 64 points), the third-place Red Deer Rebels are within five-points reach.

The Ice hold the Eastern Conference’s first wild-card seed heading into Tuesday night, four points up on the Edmonton Oil Kings.

Ice forward Luke Philp leads the team in head-to-head scoring against the Broncos this season with two goals and an assist in three games.

Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin is 2-0-0-0 against the Broncos this season, turning aside 54 of the 69 shots he has faced.

Monday afternoon,

the Ice announced Hof-lin had been named the WHL’s nominee for Vaughn CHL Goalten-der of the Week, after going 3-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average, 0.968 save percentage

and one shutout.Hoflin leads all WHL

goalies in minutes played (3,163) and shots against (1,689), while ranking second in saves (1,519) and third in wins (30).

Can’t beat BrouwerNetminder leads Nitros to second consecutive shutout of Creston Valley; series lead

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Having seen home-ice advantage slip away in Game 1 of their best-of-seven Eddie Moun-tain Division semifinal, the Kimberley Dynamit-ers took their first op-portunity to steal it back from the Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

Backstopped by goaltender Tyson Brou-wer, the Dynamiters eked out a 1-0 victory over the Thunder Cats in Game 3 at the Johnny Bucyk Arena in Creston Monday night to take a 2-1 series lead.

“Our goaltender did what he does. He’s a winner,” said Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks Monday night. “It’s pretty nice to have him back there.”

With 22 saves to his credit Monday night, Brouwer has posted back-to-back shutouts after suffering a 2-1 overtime defeat Feb. 20 in Game 1.

The 19-year-old Brouwer has been the Dynamiters’ most valu-able player through the first three games of the playoffs, posting an eye-popping 0.64 goals-

against average and 0.970 save percentage. Having faced 67 shots, the native of Lethbridge, Alta., has steered aside 65 pucks.

“I was just joking with him in there. I said, ‘Poor first game. What was he doing?’” Bancks said with a laugh as Brouwer emerged from the dressing room Mon-day night. “Definitely the MVP and he’ll keep going like that. That’s the one thing I know.”

Brouwer’s first shut-out came courtesy a 25-save performance

during a 2-0 victory in Game 2 Saturday.

Having split the opening two games in Kimberley, the Nitros were set on reclaiming home-ice advantage from the Thunder Cats Monday night and they did just that.

“We wanted to return the favour,” Brouwer said after Monday’s win. “It’s not an easy place to play in. Everyone has their favourite away rink -- this is mine. They’ve got a really loud fan base, their rink is a little bit smaller than ours and they always seem to play good [here].”

The 5-foot-11 net-minder was much busi-er than the shot count might indicate as his crease was once again surrounded by a sea of Thunder Cats.

“There were proba-bly at least five or six times [Monday night] I couldn’t see a puck and it hit our guy in front,” Brouwer said. “Kudos to them. They’ve been doing it all series and they’ll do it until we’re done, basically.

“I don’t expect [the puck] to be somewhere. I’m always looking. I place myself in the posi-

tion I last saw [the puck] and hopefully it’s still there. If not, I make quick little pushes and hopefully I can get to it. That’s what I’ve had to do and done [success-fully].”

The two teams trad-ed chances early on in the proceedings, with both Brouwer and Thunder Cats goalten-der Brock Lefebvre going save for save.

With Thunder Cats defenceman Austin Ste-ger in the sin bin serving a high-sticking minor late in the first period, Nitros captain Jason Richter carried over the blue-line before dishing to Braden Saretsky, who snapped a shot top shelf past Lefebvre for the game’s one lonely goal.

“When you look at playoffs, it’s all about special teams and goal-tending,” Bancks said. “They’re probably the two most important things and right now, we’ve got them both going. Our penalty kill has been phenomenal, too. It’s nice to be where we are, to get home-ice advantage back and away we go, hopefully.”

The Nitros power play went 1-for-4 Mon-

day night and a com-bined 3-for-12 through the opening three games of the series, good for a 25-per-cent success rate.

On the flip side, the Thunder Cats have been blanked, going 0-for-8 on the man advantage to this point.

While Brouwer’s been doing his best to steal the show, not for-gotten is the perfor-mance of his Creston Valley counterpart at the other end of the rink.

Lefebvre, a 17-year-old native of Cranbrook, has been nearly as good as Brouwer, turning

aside 79 of 83 shots through three games, good for a 1.30 GAA and 0.952 SP.

“We’ve got to get traf-fic in front of Brock [Le-febvre] and get shots,” Brouwer said. “He’s an unbelievable goalie. It’s been a goalies duel -- he’s pushing me and I’m pushing him. We’ve got to find a way to beat him.”

The two teams go right back to it Tuesday night, with Game 4 scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the Johnny Bucyk Arena in Creston.

For the Dynamiters, a Game-4 victory provides

a 3-1 stranglehold on the best-of-seven series.

For the Thunder Cats, a Game-4 win knots things 2-2 head-ing for Game 5 Thurs-day night back at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

“I don’t think we have to say a whole lot,” Bancks said. “We kind of have a mantra -- you don’t get too high, you don’t get too low. You have your five minutes of, ‘Yahoo, we’ve done something special,’ but it really doesn’t mean anything because [Tues-day] is the only shift that matters.”

“Our goaltender did what he does. He’s a

winner. It’s pretty nice to have him

back there... Definitely the MVP

and he’ll keep going like that. That’s the one thing I know.”Dynamiters head

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might want to have a long-overdue chat with a friend who lives at a distance. You could be noticing that this per-son seems more aloof than usu-al. Know that he or she might be going through some changes that he or she might prefer not to discuss. Tonight: Return calls. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll be in the mood to try something different, yet some-one could be holding you back. You can’t avoid a serious talk with a partner or associate with whom you have financial interests. Try to find out more of what he or she is thinking. Tonight: Try to bypass a friend’s rigidity. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could end an ongoing argu-ment if you are willing to open up, talk and change the pace. Know when to back off in a con-versation -- you can do only so much. Realize that you cannot force the other party to talk or change. Tonight: Go for what

you want. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Use the morning to pursue what you want. Whether a conversation is one-on-one or within a meeting, it will reveal important information that you are likely to miss if you don’t listen carefully. A little self-dis-cipline will go a long way. To-night: Let the party begin. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Try not to get so involved with a problem that isn’t really yours. You might see a solution, but it will be better for the other par-ties to find one on their own. A partner could share a fear that has been scaring him or her. Stay on top of what you want. Tonight: All smiles. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to slow down a bit in order to get a better sense of what seems to be going. Rec-ognize where you could be vest-ed in a certain outcome, and let go of that expectation through detachment; otherwise, you won’t be able to see the big pic-ture. Tonight: Out late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might feel as if you have come to an understanding with someone. Don’t just assume that the issue is cleared up, as verification at a later point probably will be necessary. News will head your way that causes a moment of reflection. Tonight: Paint the town red. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be in the midst of working through a problem that you can’t seem to justify or understand. Your attitude could be part of the problem. You also might be feeling the need to withdraw. Know what you want. Tonight: Don’t feel as if you have to do anything. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be vying for attention by being aloof. Do you think that will really work? The danger lies in the fact that people will stop responding to you if you keep this up. Make an effort to open a conversation with someone you care about. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be overly serious and somewhat touchy. Use the day-

light hours to the max, which is when you’ll feel more appreci-ated. If you feel as if you need a change, go for it. Be direct; shy-ness or manipulation is likely to backfire. Tonight: Give yourself a break. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might have difficulty get-ting going in the morning. Take some time just for you; your effectiveness will be multiplied as a result. A friend could be holding back, but you might wonder why. You can ask, but it is unlikely you’ll get a clear an-swer. Tonight: In the limelight. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your imagination will be at its peak. How you handle a con-versation where someone is withholding information could be important. It will come as no surprise that you likely will have to have this talk again. Be open in a meeting. Tonight: Make it early. BORN TODAY Entrepreneur Steve Jobs (1955), actor Billy Zane (1966), politi-cian Joe Lieberman (1942) ***

Dear Annie: I am concerned about my grandson’s well-being. My daughter has al-ways had “cuddle time” with “Joey.” It was OK when he was little, but now that he is turning 7, it seems worse. Now she is talking about getting him a new bedroom set that will be big enough for the both of them. She says she sleeps better when she sleeps with Joey. I can only assume that means she doesn’t sleep much with her husband. I think this is getting a little bit out of hand. Joey is old enough to sleep by himself. What do you think of this? And what should we do, if anything? -- Concerned Grandparents Dear Grandparents: It worries us when parents put their own needs above those of their child and selfishly convince them-selves there’s nothing wrong with it. But there is. Cuddle time with Joey is fine. He’s only 7. But your daughter should not be sleeping with the boy or, worse, giving him the im-pression that they share a bedroom. This is not only terrible for Joey, but for her mar-riage. Most young boys adore their mothers, so the message she is sending Joey is con-fusing and damaging and sets up a rivalry with his father. Unless she wants Joey to spend his adulthood in therapy, tell her to stop this immediately. We hope she loves Joey enough to do what’s right. Dear Annie: I live in a Southern city, and many Northerners have moved here and attend our church. Most are delightful, and we love having them. But we are having a problem with one of the women. “Doris” is an eager volunteer and a com-petent, efficient worker who is anxious to take on more responsibilities. Unfortu-nately, she also can be rude, aggressive, condescending and almost combative. We suspect she doesn’t intend to be so difficult, but her demeanor unfortunately follows the old-fashioned stereotypical “New York pushy” attitude. We want Doris to feel welcome and includ-ed in more activities, but we find ourselves making excuses to stay out of her way. How can we let her know that her attitude is ob-noxious? We don’t want to offend her. She has many good qualities, but needs to tone it down a whole lot to make herself more pleasant to be around. -- Southern Sally Dear Sally: Some of Doris’ aggressive at-titude may diminish over time, simply by being around others who are less so. But it’s certainly OK to say gently, “Doris, your en-thusiasm is wonderful, but could you tone it down just a wee bit?” Say it with a genuine smile, and perhaps ask for her opinion on a different matter. She cannot modify her be-havior if she is unaware that it needs work. Surely she would want the opportunity to be less annoying rather than be isolated and rejected. Dear Annie: I would like to reach out to “Distraught,” who recently found out that his eldest son molested his siblings. He wondered whether the eldest son had been abused by a parish priest. I am greatly saddened by his loss and the pain endured by his family. I would like him to know that there is great hope for healing and that he and his family don’t have to struggle with this alone. Every Roman Catholic diocese in the Unit-ed States has at least one individual who serves as a victim assistance coordinator. These coordinators are caring and compas-sionate people whose calling is to help indi-viduals and families find hope and healing after abuse. Please encourage “Distraught” to contact a victim assistance coordinator through the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops at www.usccb.org/issues-and-ac-tion/child-and-youth-protection/vic-tim-assistance-coordinators.cfm. -- Grand Island, Neb.

Reduce environmental impact: It’s al-ways better to drive less. Better yet, locally owned businesses also make more local purchases themselves, which require less transportation. It’s a domino effect!

Easton is smiling because he scored his

rst goal

Jason James Currie “Boss”

1989 – 2015It is with extreme sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Jason Currie in Cranbrook on Sunday, February 15, 2015 at 25 years of age.

Jason was born on August 10, 1989 in Cranbrook. He was a happy young man who was full of kindness and unconditional love for

everyone he crossed paths with. He touched so many people’s lives in a positive way. He had a great love of animals, his family and of wrestling. He got great pleasure from being outdoors and at one with nature with the Kip program where he was able to express himself freely. Jason was employed for 13 years at the Townsman as a newspaper carrier. He received tremendous enjoyment from his duties as a newspaper carrier, and the people whom he met throughout the years while working for the newspaper. He loved going to hockey games with his older brother and going on the big truck with his mom. Jason loved music. He especially liked the song We’re Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister. Jason will be missed dearly, but his smile will be remembered forever by his family and friends.

Jason is survived by his mother Cathy, father Ken, brothers Shaun and Chayce, sisters Sheena and Chelsea, grandmothers Grace Currie and Denise Shingar, uncles Terry Shingar, Lloyd Umpherville, Mel Shingar, Harvey Shingar Jr., Barry Shingar, Jon Shingar, Steve Beamish and Jeff Popoff, aunts Cheryl Popoff, Susan Beamish, Karen Umpherville, Dayle Shingar, and Debbie Shingar, cousins Amanda Shingar, Dayna Shingar, Josh Shingar, Austin Shingar, Nicko Shingar, Natalie Umpherville, Kaitlyn Umpherville, Catherine Umpherville and Brady Shingar. He was predeceased by his grandpa Cecil Currie and his grandpa Harvey Shingar.

A Celebration Of Jason’s Life will be held this summer sometime near his birthday. Donations in memory of Jason can be made to East Kootenay Foundation For Health, Mental Health Programs, c/o East Kootenay Regional Hospital, 13 – 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3H9 or the: East Kootenay S.P.C.A., PO Box 2, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 4H6.

Ken and Cathy Currie and their family would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to all of Jason’s doctors and nurses and first responders and to our family and friends who have come together to help us through this great loss.

Remember: NEVER leave words unsaid. Love and give love to everyone around you as you never know when it will be your last chance.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at:

Children grow and devel-op their personalities in various ways. While many youngsters are teased or receive some good-na-tured ribbing at some point in their school careers, some teasing can eventually turn into bullying.

The National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other stu-dents. Furthermore, more than 70 percent of stu-dents report incidents of bullying at their schools. Although children in low-er grades have reported being in more fights than those in higher grades, there is a higher rate of violent crimes in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. According to the associa-tion Make Beats Not Beat Downs, harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents.

Bullying can take many forms, and learning the warning signs as a parent can help prevent harass-ment and potentially dangerous situations.

Verbal: If your child re-ports being called names, being the recipient of rac-ist, sexist or homophobic

PINK SHIRT DAYjokes, or being spoken to in an offensive or suggestive way, this can be a form of verbal bullying.

Cyber: Social media, email and text messag-ing has become a way for bullies to spread malicious messages or photos. In the era of dig-ital media, this type of bullying has increased considerably.

PhysiCal: Some bul-lies engage in physical attacks, including hit-ting, kicking, spitting, or other forms of physical confrontation. Destroy-ing personal property also is considered physi-cal bullying.

indireCt: Gossiping and spreading nasty rumors about a person is another form of bully-ing. This type of bullying may go hand-in-hand with cyber bullying.

signs your Child is being bullied

Parents can recognize certain signs that their child is being bullied at school. Bullied children frequently make ex-cuses to avoid going to school. While the desire to stay home is some-thing many children may express, those who are bullied may do so much more frequently. Bullied children tend to avoid certain places and may be sad, angry, with-drawn, or depressed. They may have trouble sleeping or experience changes in appetite,

and bullied youngsters’ academic performance may suffer. Also, parents may notice that children return from school missing some of their belongings.

signs your Child is the bully

Parents may not want to imagine their children bullying other students, but bullies do exist. Children who bully other kids have strong needs for power and negative dominance. They may find satisfac-tion in causing suffering to others. Some signs

that your child may be a bully include:

* easily becoming vio-lent with others

* having friends who bully others

* blaming others quickly

* comes home with belongings that do not belong to him or her

* getting in trouble with teachers or school administrators

* picking on siblings

* not accepting respon-sibility for actions

There are ways parents can teach their children to act properly when faced with a bully. First, parents should explain that bullying is not the child’s fault and he or she does not deserve to be picked on. Next, parents can let children know that being assertive but not violent with bullies may

Parents of bullies may need to be especial-

ly mindful of their children’s behavior. Counseling could be necessary to determine what is compelling kids to bully other students.
