Chamber seeks input from business owners Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Past, present and future business owners in Cranbrook are being asked to take part in an online survey.

The Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce has put out the survey so it can get a clear picture of the challenges and advantages of doing business in Cranbrook.

“The goal is to really get a solid picture of the business climate and what we can do to improve it,” said Dave Butler, a director on the Chamber’s board.

Those who are in business, who have been in business, and who are starting a business here are being asked to provide their input.

“We are really trying to get a sense from people what the business climate is like in Cranbrook,” said Butler. “We ask some questions about the kinds of solu-

tions that they think would be implemented to help improve that business climate.”

“We think if we can get a third (of businesses to do the survey) that will be a really good cross section of the business community and it will give us a really good sense of how people are feeling.”

David Butler The survey came about after Mayor Wayne Stetski asked the Chamber to tell council what is and isn’t working for local businesses.

“We decided to undertake this survey to get as many businesses as we could responding so

we could get our finger on the pulse as to what people are feeling,” said Butler.

Once the survey period is up, the Chamber board will analyze the data and provide a report to the city and to Chamber members.

“We will be very, very transparent about the results,” said Butler.

The Chamber hopes to have 500 business owners participate in the survey, which would represent one third of the business licenses that have been issued by the City of Cranbrook.

“We think if we can get a third, that will be a really good cross section of the business community and it will give us a really good sense of how people are feeling,” said Butler.

The survey can be found online at www. c ra n b ro o k c h a m b e r. com. Responses will be accepted up to 4:30 p.m. on October 26.

‘Legalize it!’ (who supports it?)

Municipal officials voted to support the decriminalization of pot last month. Here’s how Cranbrook’s council voted Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

A convention of local government politicians in Victoria last month came out with a decision that marijuana should be decriminalized.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) annual convention brings together mayors, councillors, and regional district directors from

every B.C. community.

During the Sept.

24-28 convention, the elected officials were asked to vote on this motion: “Whereas marijuana prohibition is a failed policy which has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs; and whereas the decriminalization and regulation of marijuana would provide tax reve-

nues: therefore be it resolved that UBCM call on the appropriate government to decriminalize marijuana and research the regulation and taxation of marijuana.”

Some of Cranbrook’s council was present for that vote; the Townsman asked how they responded.

East Kootenay Conservation Program expands to the west Co u rt e s y Ma rc y Ma h r

Local conservation groups are applauding news that the East Kootenay Conservation Program (EKCP) now includes the West Kootenay. This geographic expansion means that the renamed umbrella organization — now the Kootenay Conservation Program (KCP) — will forge new partnerships and help focus activities around private land conservation in both the East and West Kootenay.

“For years now, many groups in the West Kootenay have looked at the conservation achievements of the EKCP and its partners and asked for something similar,” Program Manager Dave Hillary said.

“We’ve expanded our service area to meet this need, and are excited by the opportunities for the new Kootenay Conservation Program to assist local groups in conserving and stewarding important private land in the both East and West.”

Since its beginning in 2002, the EKCP has been working to support the conservation of private lands by building partnerships in the East Kootenay, and more recently in the West Kootenay.

Within its expanded service area, the organization has facilitated the conservation of over

300,000 hectares of biological diverse and high value land, representing a conservation investment of over $100 million in the region.

“KCP knows the West is different from the East,” said Grant Trower, of Friends of the Lardeau River and also a public representative for the Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program (Columbia) Steering Committee.

“The new KCP will be working on local conservation priorities, and supporting groups and agencies already working to sustain naturally functioning ecosystems.

“It’s logical for KCP to be working Kootenay-wide to forge regional bonds since people who live here value the fish, wildlife and natural spaces that make this part of BC so special,” Grant added.

The KCP was one of several partners that recently announced the Nature Conservancy of Canada has purchased 306 acres (124 hectares) in the Creston Valley near Wynndel. This land is home to endangered Northern Leopard frogs, at-risk Western Painted turtles, Townsend’s big-eared bats, and is a wildlife corridor for grizzly bears moving between the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges. A portion of the property will remain in agriculture, at the same time as

Species like this rare Northern Leopard frog, and others, will benefit from new Kootenay-wide conservation efforts under the name of the recentlyannounced Kootenay Conservation Program, formerly the East Kootenay Conservation Program. conservation measures are taken to safeguard

at-risk plants and animals.

“Conservation of wildlife habitat and agricultural lands de-

pends on a broad range of partners including forestry, farmers, governments, industry and others,” Hillary said.

Ottawa to consider penning oilsands caribou C anadian Press

EDMONTON — A university expert on caribou says Ottawa’s plan to help the rapidly disappearing species recover leaves the door open to protecting them inside a giant fenced-off area in Alberta’s oilsands region.

The idea of a 1,500-square-kilometre habitat pen was studied by an industry group last spring.

The group’s report concludes a fence would

be technically feasible.

It says it would function as a kind of lifeboat for caribou herds in the region until industry could restore their habitat.

Stan Boutin of the University of Alberta says the idea is being pushed by the Oilsands Leadership Initiative.

The caribou plan released by Environment Canada last Friday says that penning of woodland caribou should be considered.

Carjacking suspect to remain in custody Continued from page 1 The visiting judge also placed an order that Bullock not have any contact with the 17-year-old girl who is his co-accused in last week’s incidents near Creston and in Cranbrook.

The girl, who like Bullock is from Port Coquitlam, was released Tuesday into her mother’s custody.

Judge Brown placed the girl, who cannot be named because she is under 18, on house arrest at her mother’s home in Port Coquitlam. The girl must stay at home unless she is at school or with an adult approved by her youth worker. Her next court appearance is also November 5.

The girl entered the court room with her hands over her mouth and looked at her family in the gallery. She acknowledged the conditions for her release.

RCMP said that Bullock was charged after a

Creston man stopped to pick up two hitchhikers between Creston and Yahk last Tuesday evening, October 2. Shortly after picking up the pair, the male hitchhiker allegedly assaulted the driver of the vehicle and stole the car.

Later the same night, RCMP in Cranbrook spotted the allegedly stolen vehicle and attempted to stop it. However, the driver did not stop and an RCMP officer pursued the vehicle.

The chase ended in an encounter on the outskirts of Cranbrook, where RCMP said the officer discharged his weapon, injuring the suspect.

The girl in the vehicle was not injured; neither was the RCMP officer.

Bullock has now been released from hospital.

B.C.’s civilian police watchdog, the Independent Investigations Office, is conducting an investigation into the shooting.

4-year-old killed near Nelson when ATV driven by father flips C anadian Press

NELSON, B.C. — A four-year-old boy has died after an All-Terrain Vehicle accident west of Nelson, B.C. RCMP say the child was riding with his father along a forest service road when the ATV hit a drainage ditch and flipped.

The ATV landed on

top of the pair, killing the boy and causing serious back and internal injuries in the 33-yearold driver.

Both were wearing helmets.

The accident happened around 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Police and the BC Coroners Service are investigating.

Interior Health residents snap to smoking cessation program Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

The Interior Health region is second in line for the number of people who’ve accessed the year-old smoking cessation program in the province.

IH filled 22 per cent of all orders for Nicotine Replacement Therapy from Sept. 30, 2011 to Sept. 30, 2012. The region was topped only by the Fraser Health Authority which filled 33 per cent of all orders across the province.

That means that in the Interior Health region, which

stretches from Kelowna to the Alberta border, 32,955 people ordered Nicotine Replacement Therapy. The region covers 742,000 residents altogether.

In the province there were 149,899 requests in a year – which the program is calling a huge success.

“Every year tobacco-related deaths rob us needlessly of friends, family and loved ones.

I personally know how difficult it is to quit,” said Premier Christy Clark in a recent re-

lease. “Tobacco is the largest single cause of premature death and disease in our province, and although the numbers show that a lot of progress has been made, there is still more we can do. I’m so proud that one year later, our program continues to provide smokers with a new level of direct support to quit, to live smoke-free, and to improve their own health as well as the health of their families.”

The Smoking Cessation Program offers smokers free

access to cessation drugs like Zyban and Champix for 12 weeks. Both drugs don’t contain nicotine but reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings in the brain.

The program can be accessed by calling 811 or through a physician. There is also support available for those who are quitting smoking through QuitNow Services. That program is operated by the BC Lung Association and can be accessed online at www.quitnow.ca.

Coroner hears of panicked moments in cell block Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

Witnesses to the incustody death of Collan Kohalyk testified Tuesday about a chaotic scene at the Cranbrook RCMP detachment cell block on the night of December 24, 2010.

The Coroner’s Inquest into the death of Kohalyk began Tuesday, October 9 and will continue for the rest of the week with Coroner T.E. Chico Newell presiding.

The inquest heard from RCMP members, the City of Cranbrookemployed guard in charge at the time, responding B.C. Ambulance Service paramedics and Cranbrook Firefighters who arrived on

scene to attend to Kohalyk after hearing the call for help from the cell block in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve. Guard Tom Woloshansky told the inquest he assisted RCMP members around 1 a.m. as they brought Kohalyk into the cells after he was arrested following a domestic dispute. Woloshansky was the only guard on duty at the time and was watching over two females in the cells as well as Kohalyk.

Const. Bob Archer and Const. Len Sullivan were the RCMP members who brought Kohalyk into the cell block.

Archer said the man was agitated, directing

“I’ve got two other prisoners I’ve got to monitor,” he said.

Woloshansky received a call from Archer asking him to remove a cellphone belonging to the domestic dispute victim from Kohalyk’s effects. He began bagging the cellphone, but at 1:28 a.m., he realized Kohalyk

and you keep going in and out, that actually exaggerates the agitation,” he said.

Archer agreed, saying the risk was too great to Kohalyk and the RCMP members.

“Somebody would have gotten hurt,” Archer said. “He was very violent.”

swears towards the RCMP members. Woloshansky and Sullivan both confirmed he was combative as they attempted to remove his clothes down to only one layer, as is standard procedure.

“He was swearing, wanting to fight us,” Archer said. “All I can remember was him swearing.”

At one point Kohalyk kicked off his shoes, nearly striking Sullivan in the head according to Archer. The two officers then brought Kohalyk into the cell, where they removed his cuffs and jacket. The members were unable to remove the man’s sweater. Sullivan later explained that doing so without cuffs on would have left the officers vulnerable.

Archer then went to the guard’s room, where he viewed Kohalyk via camera as he removed his sweater and pants and rolled them up into a ball to use as a pillow. He attended the cell again, and the man refused to hand the clothing over to police.

Woloshansky said entering the cell at that time would have further aggravated the situation.

“When you have someone who is agitated

“I just saw his face and he needed help.”

Const. Eldene Stanley

“I thought that the situation had de-escalated itself.”

Const. Len Sullivan was still in the same position.

“Something just didn’t feel right to me,” Woloshansky said.

He did a physical check of the cell, which lay behind a heavy steel door that had been closed because the man was disrupting the other prisoners. It was then that the guard realized Kohalyk was hanging from his T-shirt that had been tied to the cell door.

On the night Kohalyk died, Const. Eldene Stanley happened to be in the detachment after assisting with the victim of the domestic dispute. She was the first officer to respond after Woloshansky

Sullivan said when he saw Kohalyk use his clothes as a pillow he believed through his 30years experience as an RCMP officer that the man would settle down.

“I thought that the situation had de-escalated itself,” he said.

Woloshansky performed a check at 1:19 a.m., and noticed Kohalyk was standing with his back to the bars. He could not see part of his upper body on the camera. Woloshansky said it is common for prisoners to stand this way attempting to hear what is going on outside the cell.

He continued with other tasks.

called for help. When she arrived, she found Woloshansky entering the cell, holding the man up to relieve pressure on his neck. Stanley used a pair of scissors to cut Kohalyk down, and the pair administered First Aid until help arrived.

Woloshansky said he is sometimes left alone monitoring the cells, but the RCMP officers are quick to assist. It is policy that guards may not enter the cell without a member present.

“A lot of times they’re out on the road but times when I’ve needed them they’re there within a minute,” he said.

The jury at the inquest asked Stanley to describe the man’s position when she attended to him, but the veteran officer said she didn’t pay attention to details as she rushed to help the man.

“It was just a panic at that point,” she said. “I just saw his face and he needed help.”

Archer, Sullivan and Const. James Fayle all arrived on scene to assist Woloshansky and Stanley. Firefighters arrived ahead of ambulance personnel, who told the inquest later they were at the hospital registering the victim of the domestic dispute when they got

the call to attend the cells.

The firefighters were able to insert a breathing tube to protect Kohalyk’s airway. When paramedics arrived they hooked him up to oxygen and transported him to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

The man later died in hospital after being transported to Kelowna.

Woloshansky noted that the cell in which Kohalyk was placed in is no longer in use unless absolutely necessary. Many of the cells at the Cranbrook block have been renovated, and it is now policy to use the newer ones that have been fitted with steel doors instead of bars first.

Former Cranbrook Detachment Inspector Bryan Edmondson is expected to testify this morning about the changes that have happened since Kohalyk’s death. Woloshansky said the camera has been changed so that the entire cell is viewable.

Fayle told the inquest Kohalyk’s name did not bring up any concern about a possible suicide risk when it was run through two separate police database as is standard procedure in any case.

Councillors mull pot decriminalization Continued from page 1 Councillor Angus Davis — “I support the decriminalization of marijuana. “All we have to do is look at history. Prohibition did not work in the US and prohibition of marijuana is certainly not working today. For the sake of us all, let’s let it be legal and enjoy the benefits of the tax revenue this would generate.”

Councillor Sharon Cross — “Given that municipalities can

only recommend change, and not write the laws, I voted in favour of decriminalizing marijuana in order to encourage discussion and debate at the national level.”

Councillor Gerry Warner — “Surely at a time when the rate of cigarette smoking in B.C. has been reduced to less than 20 per cent it would be the height of folly to encourage people to smoke pot. Is no one consider-

ing the public health aspects of decriminalizing marijuana? “ Councillor Denise Pallesen — “I did not vote for the decriminalization of marijuana resolution because at the time I had not spoken to any RCMP officials to satisfy myself that this was a municipal issue. I think because of the far reaching consequences of drug use in Canada and the U.S., this needs to be resolved at the federal level of

government with input by the RCMP.” Councillors Diana J. Scott and Bob Whetham and Mayor Wayne Stetski were not present for the vote. Councillor Scott did say that if she were present, she would have voted against the motion.

UBCM’s support of the decriminalization of marijuana will now be referred to the federal government.

B.C. to examine old-growth forest for potential ‘limited’ logging opportunities Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — The B.C. government has opened the door to the controversial idea of logging old-growth forests in parts of the province in an effort to boost the timber supply over the next five to 20 years.

But Forests Minister Steve Thomson says any decisions to cut would be science-based and reached by consensus from all members of the community.

Examining the oldgrowth potential in cen-

tral B.C. is one of several actions the province plans to take after a government committee warned in August that measures must be taken to stave off a dramatic drop in timber supply.

Thomson says municipal governments whose economies rely on the forest sector were the first to suggest opening some old-growth areas, though even the industry has reported it doesn’t want such logging to be a priority.

The minister says a framework for revisiting the designation of sensitive areas will be ready in early 2013, and potential pilot projects could eventually take place in Burns Lake and Quesnel.

The government says the timber supply plan is the final phase in its decade-long response to the infestation of the mountain pine beetle, which has decimated forests across the province.

COTR offers Older Worker program F o r t h e TOW N S M A N

College of the Rockies’ Kimberley Campus, along with the Invermere and Fernie Campuses, will be offering training to older workers thanks to a funding of $840,000 provided by the governments of BC and Canada through the Targeted Initiative for Older Workers. The Targeted Initiative for Older Workers Program will provide training for individuals between the ages of 55 and 64 who are currently unemployed and looking to return to the workforce.

Coordinated through the

Kimberley Campus, training is regionally distributed and will include six sessions throughout the East Kootenay with the inaugural programs running in Cranbrook beginning October 15 and in Fernie starting on October 16. The program will then run in Invermere in November and again in Fernie in January, 2013.

Kimberley Campus Manager, Mike Flowers, says, “BC Stats lists the Kootenays as having the highest unemployment rate in BC at 9.4%. We are hoping to help address that through this

training.” Currently, about one quarter of the East Kootenay’s population is in the 55 to 64 age bracket.

The 14-week program includes 10 weeks of instruction in areas like computers, softskills, workplace skills and jobsearch strategies. This will be followed by a four-week job placement. Participants will receive payment for their time in the program.

Winner of roach-eating contest collapses, dies Associated Press

MIAMI — The winner of a roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms, authorities said Monday.

About 30 contestants ate the insects during Friday night’s contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles (64 kilometres) north of Miami.

The grand prize was a python.

Edward Archbold, 32, became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward Sheriff’s Office statement released Monday. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Authorities were waiting for results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.

“Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don’t think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat,’’ said Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California at Riverside, who added that he has never heard of someone dying after consuming roaches.

“Some people do have allergies to roaches,’’ he said, “but there are no toxins in roaches or related insects.’’

None of the other contestants became ill, the sheriff’s office said.

“We feel terribly awful,’’ said store owner Ben Siegel, who added

that Archbold did not appear to be sick before the contest.

“He looked like he just wanted to show off and was very nice,’’ Siegel said, adding that Archbold was “the life of the party.’’

Siegel said Archbold was selling the exotic prize to a friend who took him to the contest.

A statement from Siegel’s attorney said all the participants signed waivers “accepting responsibility for their participation in this unique and unorthodox contest.’’

The bugs consumed were from an inventory of insects “that are safely and domestically raised in a controlled environment as food for reptiles.’’

Lawyers really do use arguments like British or American court will one day offer

compensation to innocent Arabs, Afghans and other Muslims who were swept up in the so-called “war on terror” and spent years in confinement without charge or trial, often being beaten or tortured? Very small, unfortunately.

Under the pressure of events, even the governments of democratic countries readily abandon the rule of law, and they rarely apologise afterwards, let alone offer compensation. After fifty years the British courts can address the horrors of the colonial past more freely, but even now Britain will not bring the men who ordered the abuse of these old Kenyan men to trial. Yet their names are known, and some of them must still be alive too.

Most crimes go unpunished. It’s true in private life, and it’s even truer for great states. But gradually, at the edges, the courts are making inroads on this ancient and brutal reality. As in, for example, Kenya itself.

After the terrible post-election violence in Kenya in 2008, in which both the leading parties were deeply implicated, a Commission of Inquiry led by judge Philip Waki recommended that the Kenyan government set up a special tribunal to prosecute those responsible for the worst crimes.

The National Assembly of Kenya, taking the British government as its model, refused. But the judge passed his evidence to the International Criminal Court, which opened a case against the senior officials of both parties held to be most responsible.

The Kenya government did everything it could to stop the case, but it is going ahead in the Hague anyway – and a majority of ordinary Kenyans support the ICC process.

So there IS progress, if only slowly.

NFL issues new player Eagles Boxing Club fielding discipline in bounty case local talent in weekend fight BRE T T MARTEL Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell upheld the suspensions of Jonathan Vilma and Will Smith on Tuesday for their role in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal and reduced penalties for Scott Fujita and Anthony Hargrove.

Though an appeal panel created by the NFL’s labour agreement vacated the original suspensions on technical grounds, Goodell ruled he was sticking with his decision to suspend Vilma for the season and Smith for four games.

Hargrove, a free agent

defensive lineman, will face a two-game suspension once he signs with a team. He originally was hit with eight games, but that was reduced to seven with five games already served.

Fujita, who plays for Cleveland, will now miss only one game instead of three.

Despite Goodell’s new rulings, the sevenmonth old bounty saga is not over.

Vilma offered a response on Twitter, that read, in part, “this is not news to me pride won’t let him admit he’s wrong.” Smith issued a statement saying he will continue to explore his

appeal options.

The players were implicated in what the NFL said was a bounty pool run by former Saints defensive co-ordinator Gregg Williams and paid improper cash bonuses for hits that injured opponents. The players have acknowledged a pool but denied they intended to injure anyone.

The players can delay their suspensions by appealing again through their labour contract, which they have three days to do. They could also ask a federal judge in New Orleans to revisit their earlier request for an injunction blocking the suspensions.

The Çranbrook Eagles Boxing Club will be well represented at an upcoming event this Saturday, as four local athletes prepare for showdowns in the ring.

Colin Adams, Shannon Ryan, Ryan Lindsay and Tyler Gallinger have confirmed bouts set up on Saturday night at the Eagles Hall, which will be the first boxing event for the Eagles Boxing Club athletes this season.

“He’s going to be looking at himself in the mirror while boxing this guy, because they both have the same style, they’re both bangers.”

Bill Watson Headlining the event is Kenny Lally, a threetime Canadian champion, who will challenge Kenny Guzman, an American out of Montana who is a former state champion.

Eagles boxing coach Bill Watson is excited to

see what his athletes can do, considering the fact that it will be the first time in the ring for Gallinger and Ryan.

Linsday’s fight has the potential to turn into the fight of the night because his opponent approaches fights in a similar manner, according to Watson.

Lindsay, 17, will be fighting Ashton Litwinuk, an Alberta senior champion who is two years older than the Cranbrook product.

“Before I took it, I called up a couple coaches who’ve seen him in action before,” said Watson, “and they said that he is a tough boxer, he comes straight at you and the first thing I thought of was, ‘Well, that’s Ryan’s style.’

“He’s going to be looking at himself in the mirror while boxing this guy, because they both have that same style, they’re both bangers.”

Lindsay said he had no problem facing an older opponent like Litwinuk.

“I’m just going to come in with top-notch head movement and speed and just out-box him instead of brawling,” Lindsay said.

TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO

Ryan Lindsay will step up a level and face Ashton Litwinuk, who is an Alberta senior champion boxer.

Lindsay is going on his fourth year as a boxer, and Watson remembers seeing the potential in the young fighter when he first started coming to the gym four years ago.

“He’s always had the punching power, he’s always hit hard,” said Watson. “His weaknesses were in his defence—he was just taking too many punches.

Former NHLers applaud Sandusky sentencing C ANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY - Two of former junior hockey coach Graham James’s sexual abuse victims says they would like Canada to follow the U.S. in handing out harsh sentences to sexual predators.

Former Penn State assistant football coach

Jerry Sandusky was sentenced to at least 30 years in prison in the child sexual abuse scandal that brought shame to the university and led to coach Joe Paterno’s downfall.

Former Calgary Flames forward Theo Fleury says it is important to send a message

that child sexual abuse is not taken lightly.

He says he would like Canada to adopt a hardline approach for sexual predators and he blames the federal government for showing a lack of leadership.

Raiders a good run for their money in the latter half of the game, but a flat opening period saw the opposition rack up a three-goal lead.

The club is struggling through a tough start to the season with only one win in five games, and the team will face another tough test on Wednesday night when they face the Prince George Cougars.

The Cougars are 4-11-0 and will be hungry to recover from their last contest, a 7-5 loss to the Kelowna Rockets on Saturday night.

On the other hand, Kootenay is hoping to bounce back from a 5-3 loss against the Prince Albert Raiders last Sunday. The Ice had an abysmal start, but showed signs of life later in the game, which highlights one of the main problems facing the team.

Inconsistency.

The Ice gave the

Sports

view of his players, while his two assistants, Chad Kletzel and Jerry Bancks, ran the show.

The players were 45 minutes late stepping out onto the ice, and one can only imagine the conversation McGill was having with the team inside the dressing room.

“He’s there for us,” said Dirk, before practice. “He’s hard on us, because we haven’t been playing well, but he just wants us to get better and wants this team to be better.”

Dirk said he doesn’t believe that the team’s record is a byproduct of a younger roster, noting that it’s up to the older veterans to lead by example.

“We are a younger team, but that’s no excuse,” said Dirk. “Everybody that’s made this team knows what it takes to win and we just haven’t been doing it lately.”

Patriots’ Kevin Faulk makes it official, retires after 13 years Associated Press

by owner Robert Kraft, coach Bill Belichick and several teammates.

“I never thought I’d be saying I’m retiring from football,” Faulk said, “and I never thought I’d have three of these.”

That’s when he took out the Super Bowl championship rings he won with the only team he played for since the Patriots drafted him in 1999 in the second round out of LSU. He played only two games in 2010 before suffering a season-end-

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - It was tough for Kevin Faulk to leave football. Any hopes he had of staying, though, faded when the New England Patriots’ running game made major strides.

The team’s career leader in all-purpose yards made it official on Tuesday after two injury-plagued seasons. He formally announced his retirement after 13 memorable years in a ceremony at the team’s Hall of Fame attended

ing knee injury. He began last season on the physically unable to perform list then was activated and played seven games. But he was inactive for the 21-17 Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants.

And this season, the Patriots’ revived running game has gained the third most yards in the NFL, led by Stevan Ridley’s 490. Faulk exceeded that total in just three of his seasons. Backups Brandon Bolden and Danny Woodhead also have been productive.

Nadal making progress in recovery from injury Ste ven Wine Associated Press

Rafael Nadal is eager to trade in his backstroke for his backhand.

Swimming as part of his rehabilitation from a left knee injury, Nadal said he has been more encouraged recently about his progress and hopes to resume practice soon. He didn’t rule out playing next month in the ATP World Tour Finals or Davis Cup final,

but added that such a quick return would be difficult.

“I don’t want to put any goals to play a tournament,” Nadal said Tuesday. “I want to go day by day. I go every day to the gym and the swimming pool to continue with my recovery. I am trying to not think that far.”

Nadal spoke from his home in Mallorca during a conference call to pro-

mote his participation in an exhibition in New York in March. He has also said he’ll enter an exhibition in Abu Dhabi in late December.

The 11-time Grand Slam champion hasn’t played since losing in the second round of Wimbledon in June. A partially torn patella tendon forced him to miss the Olympics, where he was

the defending gold medallist , and the U.S. Open, where he was the 2010 champion and 2011 runner-up.

Nadal, 26, has battled recurring knee trouble for years and finds hardcourt matches especially difficult. But he said he can’t curtail his playing schedule if he wants to keep contending for a top ranking.

250-426-8927

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might want to let a difficult situation alone and instead watch how others work through it. Listen to your inner voice. Do not avoid incoming calls, especially as it is likely that you will hear good news. Tonight: Paint the town red.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your home life always is important, and you go out of your way to maintain a steady domestic life.

Having priorities is important, but handling the other areas of your life is equally imperative. A friend or loved one has an unusually creative suggestion. Tonight: Mosey on home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You make that extra effort, and others respond accordingly. Use positive thinking in order to manifest a wish. Your thoughts and words have an effect. An older relative or boss could be evasive, yet you know that he or she demands a lot. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Curb a need to go overboard. You might feel quite touched by someone’s thoughtfulness. You also feel unusually secure when dealing with this person. Don’t worry so much about tension between you and a child or new friend. You cannot change his or her personality.

Tonight: Use some self-discipline.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Thoughts that come to you in your sleep might be unusually significant right now. A close friend might be the perfect person to share this information with, as he or she could give you feedback.

You very well might be able to manifest this idea, but on your schedule. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might not want to be an active participant in what goes on today, as you could be thinking about a proposal. A boss or higherup has a lot to share. This person has been observing you, and feels as if you are giving 100 percent of yourself. Your presence encourages others to break past boundaries.

Tonight: Not to be found.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Zero in on priorities. You cannot

get past a problem without first having a discussion with a key resource. You might be making judgments that could prevent you from accomplishing an important goal.

News comes in through a call or an email that delights you to no end.

Tonight: First, find your friends. The rest will happen naturally.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You understand your role in a project, and you don’t hesitate to do what is needed to accomplish the end results. A partner teams up with you and helps you accomplish more. A brainstorming session will open up a door, though you might feel hesitant to walk through it.

Tonight: Up late!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Let your mind expand as you play around with a certain situation.

You might start to see a situation far differently, or in many different ways, as a result. Someone you like and who is lucky for you suddenly appears. Make plans to get together as soon as possible.

Tonight: Reach out for someone at a distance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Deal with individuals directly.

The conversations that ensue will demonstrate their caring. Team up with someone who has the same goals as you, but offers something different. Your instincts are excellent, so follow through on a hunch.

Tonight: Brainstorm over dinner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll discover much more of what is happening with others. You could get feedback from loved ones when trying to make plans.

You suddenly might realize how much fun you could have with a certain person. Schedule a meeting for as late as possible. Tonight: Spontaneity works well.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot to do, and you will get it done -- as long as you do not allow someone to distract you.

Your imagination could lead you down some interesting paths today, even literal ones. Understand why a partner might be negative about one of your suggestions.

Tonight: Get to the gym.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I have a 20-year-old daughter, “Brianna.” We pay for her private college tuition, as well as all of her expenses.

In August, Brianna was invited for a weeklong trip to Hawaii with her boyfriend’s family. She decided to go without discussing it with us. We had made plans to get her a new apartment that week so she could move in prior to classes starting, and she totally blew us off.

I am so hurt by this. It seems disrespectful to us and to the commitment she has as a daughter. I have communicated very little with her since she left for school.

How can I let her know this behavior is unacceptable? I am also disappointed in her boyfriend, who has known us long enough to be more sensitive to our family.

What should I do? -- A Mom Dear Mom: Yes, it was rude that Brianna did not discuss the change in plans with you, but she is trying to assert her independence, and we recommend you let her. That means she should make more of her own decisions, and you need to stop paying for them. If Brianna receives a free trip to Hawaii and blows off apartment hunting, let her handle her own living arrangements. Don’t do it for her or fret that she won’t have a place to live. She’ll manage. Let her find a part-time job to pay for things you don’t want to finance.

Help her become a responsible, mature adult instead of a dependent child. You’ll be grateful later.

Dear Annie: I’ve been married to “Charlie” for 35 years. He is now semi-retired and works an afternoon shift three days a week. He wakes up minutes before going to work and comes home an hour before my bedtime. On his days off, he sleeps until dinnertime. He says there is no reason to get up during the day.

I have tried staying up later, but I get too sleepy. I am in my 50s now, and the kids have left the nest. I’ve made lots of friends who are available during the day, but I don’t want to keep living this way. I miss my husband. Charlie and I have been to counseling numerous times, but it hasn’t changed anything. What do I do? -- Lonely in Kentucky Dear Kentucky: Charlie would rather sleep late than spend time with you. It could be that he’s avoiding you, is depressed or that his internal clock is simply set later. You could try to change your sleep habits to match his, waking up later so you aren’t too tired to stay up until the wee hours.

Counseling helps only if both parties agree to work on what needs to be changed. If Charlie won’t address this, you can get counseling on your own and decide whether you will put up with the current situation in order to stay married.

If you opt to stick around, adjust your attitude so that your focus is not on Charlie and his sleep habits, but on whatever makes you happy when you’re awake.

Dear Annie: I am writing about the letter from “His Mom,” whose 15-year-old son is having sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend.

They wanted to know who is responsible for paying for the girl’s birth control pills.

As the mother of a 15-year-old boy, I’d like to say that what I loved about this letter is that both kids had talked to their parents about having sex. That is amazing and says a lot about both sets of parents. Kudos to them. Here’s my simple response: I think the boy should pay for condoms that he assiduously wears, and the girl should pay for her birth control pills. It provides double protection for pregnancy and the added benefit of STD protection. -- Jen from Connecticut Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NEWS Sandusky sentenced to at least 30 years in Penn State sex abuse scandal Associated Press

BELLEFONTE, Pa. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In what sounded at times like a locker-room pep talk, Jerry Sandusky rambled in his red prison suit about being the underdog in the fourth quarter, about forgiveness, about dogs and about the movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seabiscuit.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; With his accusers seated behind him in the courtroom, he denied committing â&#x20AC;&#x153;disgusting actsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; against children and instead painted himself as the victim.

And then, after he had said his piece, a judge sentenced him to 30 to 60 years in prison Tuesday, all but ensuring the 68-year-old Sandusky will spend the rest of his life behind bars for the child sexual abuse scandal that brought disgrace to Penn State and triggered the downfall of his former boss, football coach Joe Paterno.

He leaves behind a trail of human and legal wreckage that could take years for the university to clear away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tragedy of this crime is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story of betrayal. The most obvious aspect is your betrayal of 10 children,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Judge John Cleland said after a hearing in which three of the men Sandusky was convicted of molesting as boys confronted him face to face and told of the lasting pain he had inflicted.

The judge said he expects Sandusky to die in prison.

In a disjointed, 15-minute address before he learned his sentence, Sandusky said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my heart I did not do these alleged disgusting acts.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sprinkling his remarks with sports references, the former assistant coach spoke of being locked up in a jail cell, subjected to outbursts from fellow inmates, reading inspirational books and trying to find a purpose in his fate. His voice cracked as he talked about missing his loved ones, including his wife, Dottie, who was in the gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully we can get better as a result of our hardship and suffering, that somehow, some way, something good will come out of

Former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky arrives at the Centre County Courthouse for a sentencing hearing Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012, in Bellefonte, Pa. this,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sandusky said.

He also spoke of instances in which he helped children and did good works in the community, adding: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve forgiven, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been forgiven. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve comforted others, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been comforted. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been kissed by dogs, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been bit by dogs. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve conformed, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also been different.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been loved, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been hated.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts, found guilty of raping or fondling boys he had met through the acclaimed youth charity he founded, The Second Mile. He plans to appeal, arguing among other things that his defence was not given enough time to prepare for trial after his arrest last November.

Among the victims who spoke in court Tuesday was a young man who said he was 11 when Sandusky groped him in a shower in 1998.

He said Sandusky is in denial and should â&#x20AC;&#x153;stop coming up with excuses.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been left with deep painful wounds that you caused and had been buried in the garden of my heart for many years,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said.

Another man said he was 13 in 2001 when Sandusky lured him into a Penn State sauna and then a shower and forced him to touch the ex-coach.

After the sentencing, prosecutor Joe McGettigan praised the victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; courage and dismissed

Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a masterpiece of banal self-delusion, completely untethered from reality and without any acceptance of responsibility.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was entirely selffocused as if he, again, were the victim,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; McGettigan said.

Lawyers for the victims said they were satisfied with the sentence, but with four lawsuits brought against Penn State and several more expected, and Penn State labouring under severe NCAA penalties, cleaning up may take years.

Ben Andreozzi, a lawyer for one the victims, said the university needs to do more: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important they understand before we get into serious discussions about money, that there are other, noneconomic issues. We need apologies. We need changes in policy. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just about money.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Penn State fired Paterno after Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest, and the coach died of lung cancer three months later. The scandal also brought down university president Graham Spanier.

Two university administrators, Gary Schultz and Tim Curley, are awaiting trial in January on charges they failed to properly report suspicions about Sandusky and lied to the grand jury that investigated him.

Over the summer, an investigation commissioned by Penn State

and led by former FBI Director Louis Freeh concluded that Paterno and other top officials covered up allegations against Sandusky for more than a decade to avoid bad publicity.

After the report, the NCAA fined Penn State a record US$60 million, barred the football team from post-season play for four years, cut the number of scholarships it can award, and erased 14 years of victories for Paterno, stripping him of his standing as the coach with the most career wins in big-time college football.

In a three-minute recorded statement aired Monday night by Penn State radio, Sandusky described himself as the victim of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;well-orchestrated effortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; by his accusers, the media, Penn State, plaintiffsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorneys and others â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a claim the judge dismissed on Tuesday as an unbelievable conspiracy theory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I speak today with hope in my heart for a brighter day, not knowing if that day will come,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sandusky said.

After the sentencing, Penn State president Rodney Erickson said in a statement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our thoughts today, as they have been for the last year, go out to the victims of Jerry Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abuse. While todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentence cannot erase what has happened, hopefully it will provide comfort to those affected by these horrible events.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

NEWS Big Bird takes starring role in presidential contest Beth Fouhy Associated Press

NEW YORK — Big Bird is flying high in the 2012 presidential campaign.

President Barack Obama’s campaign deployed the beloved “Sesame Street’’ icon in a new TV ad Tuesday mocking Mitt Romney for saying he would de-

fund public broadcasting if elected.

The foundation backing “Sesame Street’’ quickly disavowed the spot, and Romney dismissed it as un-serious even though the Republican hopeful brought Big Bird into the national political conversation at last week’s presidential debate.

Big Bird has been a big deal since Romney, in outlining ways he would cut federal spending, said, “I’m going to stop the subsidy to PBS,’’ adding, “I like PBS, I love Big Bird.’’

Romney’s vow to defund public broadcasting has been a staple of his campaign appearances for months, but

the nationally televised declaration last week in Denver — more than 67 million were watching — gave it a much broader audience than ever before.

Romney’s comment drew immediate reaction on social media, with users posting online photos of Big Bird appearing down on his

luck or searching for work. Mock Big Birds have followed Romney to campaign events, and the real Big Bird even made an appearance on “Saturday Night Live’’ last weekend.

“I feel like I’m famous now. I was walking down the street the other day and felt like everyone recognized

me,’’ Big Bird said.

The “Sesame Street’’ dis offered an opening to Obama, who has faced strong backlash for his widely panned debate performance. At rallies and campaign appearances every day since the debate, he has used Romney’s remark and referenced other “Sesame Street’’ characters to mock his opponent in a way audiences find funny and relatable.

“He said he’d bring down our deficit by going after what has been the biggest driver of our debt and deficits over the last decade — public television, PBS,’’ Obama told people at a fundraiser Monday in San Francisco. “Elmo has been seen in a white Suburban. He’s driving for the border. Oscar is hiding out in his trashcan. We’re cracking down on them.’’

The satiric Obama campaign ad, set to air on national broadcast and cable stations, echoes that theme. The ad shows images of convicted financiers including Bernie Madoff and Enron’s Ken Lay, and suggests Romney believes Big Bird is responsible for their crimes.

“Big, yellow, a menace to our economy,’’ the ad says. “Mitt Romney knows it’s not Wall Street you have to worry about, it’s Sesame Street.’’

While Romney’s comment drew criticism from PBS the day after the debate, the Ses-

ame Workshop, which supports “Sesame Street’’ and other public broadcasting shows, demanded that Obama’s campaign remove the ad.

“Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns,’’ the organization said in a terse, two-sentence statement. “We have approved no campaign ads and, as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down.’’

Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said the campaign was reviewing the organization’s concerns.

Romney, campaigning in Iowa, dismissed the Big Bird ad as inconsequential and suggested Obama was focusing on trivial matters rather than the economy and high unemployment.

“These are tough times with real serious issues, so you have to scratch your head when the president spends the last week talking about saving Big Bird.’’

Romney told a cheering crowd. “I actually think we need to have a president who talks about saving the American people and saving good jobs and saving our future.’’

Public broadcasting has long drawn the scorn of many conservatives who see it as wasteful and having a liberal bias.
