The Kimberley Community Choir will be on hand to provide some seasonal music, and Platzl businesses will be open so you can get some early shopping done.

Artist, spiritual visionary ManWoman dies at 74 A Cranbrook original Barry Coulter Townsman Editor

Cranbrook has lost one of its most renowned, influential and colourful citizens.

The artist and spiritual visionary ManWoman died early Tuesday morning in Cranbrook, at age 74.

IMMACULATE 2-BEDROOM, 2-BATH MANUFACTURED HOME

ManWoman remained true to his personal vision throughout many years of criticism and controversy and lack of acceptance from mainstream critics and institutions.

However, in recent years he has been recognized as a pioneer and unique individual on many levels.

His unique and profound style of art gathered him international recognition. His campaign to rescue

the sacred symbol of the swastika from the stigma attached to its use by the Nazis has grown into a global movement — and indeed, he is recognized as one of its founders.

“ManWoman was an iconic, colourful and deeply creative native son of Cranbrook,” said longtime friend Darcy Russell. “He was ‘spice’ for Cranbrook, like mustard on mashed potatoes. He lived his

dreams with integrity, inspiring many others to do the same.”

ManWoman’s art took on practically a Jungian significance, utilitizing archetypal symbols — like the Bride, Mr. Death, and of course the swastika — to demonstrate his themes of ecstatic union with the divine, sexual and spiritual liberation and the creation of new icons for modern spiritual experience.

Retrospectives of his work in Calgary, Edmonton, Los Angeles and elsewhere always brought crowds.

In 2003, he was presented with an Award of Excellence by the late Lois Hole, then Governor-General of Alberta, on the 75th anniversary of the Alberta College of Art, when selected alumni were honoured for their contributions to Canadian art.

Brave new world of woodwork

Award-winning Cranbrook business welcomes new technological arrival B a r ry Co u lt e r

A Cranbrook business has recently upped its game, and been recognized nationally for its high quality of work.

Cranbrook Interior Woodwork recently won the Award for Excellence in Quality and Service for Residential Projects from the Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada (AWMAC). It’s the fourth straight year the Cranbrook outfit has won the award, putting it in a league of its own.

This year, the business won gold for excellence in quality based on its work in the Osborne residence in Cranbrook.

Cranbrook Interior Woodwork has been running since 1975, and has been operated

by Blair and Diane Cooke since 2003. In those past nine years, the business has grown quite a bit, Blair said.

Indeed, Cranbrook Interior Woodwork supplies fine interior commercial and resi-

dential millwork and cabinetry through Western Canada and the territories — a huge market area for a company with a staff of 15.

However, extra help has arrived, in the form of a new CNC edgebander, an enormous machine which came to Cranbrook from Germany via Toronto. The edgebander applies veneers, PVC’s, plastic laminate and solid wood up to 15mm (5/8ths of an inch) in thickness.

A detail from the interior of the Osborne residence in Cranbrook, for which Cranbrook Interior Woodwork won the AWMAC award for Excellence in Quality and Service for Residential Projects, the fourth straight year it has done so.

“Before, doing it with another piece of equipment, didn’t have the capacity for as many options to ‘final process’ the piece,” Blair said.

Blair said the new piece was essential to keep up with the demands of their vast territory.

“Once the decision was made which way to go, we went out looking at pieces of equipment,” Blair said. “This took some time. We were fortunate that this piece had just arrived in Canada, and met our needs.

“It allows us to keep up, in a high quality way.”

Adrian Dix visits Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

Provincial NDP leader Adrian Dix toured the East Kootenay this past weekend with Kootenay East candidate Norma Blissett and MLA for Columbia River Revelstoke Norm Macdonald.

Dix met with the Townsman on November 9 prior to two public events at the Prestige Inn. He discussed the issues facing the riding, province and even put in his two cents about last week’s ballot initiative in Washington State that legalized marijuana.

Dix said himself and his fellow candidates in the NDP party were focusing on a positive campaign as they look towards the provincial election in May. “The Liberal party continues to run negative campaigns against me and we continue to be positive,” he said. “I think people want to see that.”

The election will boil down to who has the better plan in the end Dix believes, and he said the NDP wants to get back to basics.

“The Liberals have spent a lot of money on convention centres and stadium roofs but we think the basics – health care and education, the productivity of our economy, creating jobs – we think those are the priorities.”

On jobs and skills training: Dix criticized the Liberal government’s failure to adequately train workers, and said even current apprenticship programs are failing to meet the mark.

“80 per cent of the jobs of the future require skills training and what we’re seeing is that we’re no where near that,” he said.

Dix estimates that the province’s current apprenticeship program has a 37 per cent completion rate, while unions in the province boast 80 per cent completion. While he said the unions may not have all the answers, he believes lessons can be learned from them.

The federal government is now looking into claims that temporary foreign workers were unfairly selected for coal mining jobs in Northern B.C. Dix said immigration is key to a healthy economy, but he wants those workers to be a part of the community instead of coming here temporarily.

“I strongly support immigration. When people come to your country to work here they should have, in my view, the option to stay and contribute and be part of communities,” he said. “They were completely off one of the key issues of our time.”

Six Mounties take part in Movember For the Bulle tin

During November six Kimberley Mounties are taking part in Movember.

They will be sporting a new “stache” with thousands of other men in Canada, and around the world to raise funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives.

Clean shaven on Movember 1st, but for

the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery.

Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Mo Bros become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November.

Through their actions and words, they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often-ig-

nored issue of men’s health.

Movember, which started in Melbourne Australia, has grown into a global campaign.

Artist, spiritual visionary ManWoman dies at 74 From Page 1 Friends and artistic colleages around the region absorbed the sad news on Tuesday.

Longtime friend Infinity Solstice, from the Golden area, is a major collector of ManWoman’s art. “ManWoman is making huge statements with every piece he created, and every piece he created is important to humanity,” he said. “There are no boundaries for that man — he tackled every subject with humanity and intelligence. He is one of the gutsiest people I ever met.

“My read is that he will become known as one of the most important Canadian artists, because of the vast amount of art he produced.”

Kimberley artists Twila and Tony Austin issued a statement. “ManWoman was the first artist we met when we returned to Kimberley from Japan in ‘95, and he encouraged us to continue our artistic journey. A mystic, an artist, a dreamer and a treasured friend, we will miss him.”

Byron Olson, who has been friends with ManWoman since their days in the architectural program at UBC, said of the late artist: “He was quiet and shy in those days — he was a loyal and trusted friend. The threads of time are filled with imaginings and ManWoman wove the cloth.”

Kimberley artists Twila and Tony Austin issued a statement. “ManWoman was the first artist we met when we returned to Kimberley from Japan in ‘95, and he encouraged us to continue our artistic journey. A mystic, an artist, a dreamer and a treasured friend, we will miss him.”

ManWoman was born Patrick Kemball in 1938, in the old St. Eugene Hospital in Cranbrook. He had always been drawn to art — an early example was his work as an assistant to Zeljko Kujundzic, who went on to found the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson. But Kemball originally set out on an academic career at UBC, first in engineering, then architecture.

But beginning in 1958, Kemball’s life was transformed by a series of powerful and tumultuous mystical experiences, which he described in his autobiography “Homesick for Eternity,” and in many media interviews. A disembodied voice urged him to get out from under a car he was working on, seconds before it came crashing down off the blocks it was mounted on. Following that, he had the first of many outof-body experiences. These events compelled him to drop out of architecture and enroll at the Alberta College of Art in Calgary.

In 1965, he experienced an ecstatic trance. “I soared

ManWoman. up into the source, had a mystical experience, no matter what you want to call it — union with God,” he told the East Kootenay Weekly in 1999. “The two halves of me just came together — I had felt like an exile all my life, and now I felt whole.”

He began to be haunted by strange visions, in which he morphed between male and female states, and was continually approached by an old man, who tattooed a swastika on his neck, and who told him to reclaim the ancient symbol from its usurpation by the Nazis.

Kemball began to take on the persona of his dreams, getting swastika tattoos and eventually changing his name. By that time, he was

married with children, and teaching art in Edmonton.

His transformation threw his life into turmoil, and in 1975, ManWoman returned to Cranbrook alone, where he resided for the rest of his life, working at his art and swastika campaign.

Returning to his hometown proved initially difficult for ManWoman under his new persona. “I know a lot of people were quite upset when I first arrived,” he told the Daily Townsman in 1990.

“They used to cross the street so they wouldn’t have to pass me, because they thought I was some sort of alien.”

However, ManWoman’s spirit would not be denied.

He married local dentist Dale Sellars (Astarte), and

through his art, his spiritual life and his community involvement, became one of Cranbrook’s most respected citizens.

He was an early member of the Mankind Project, an international men’s group with the stated aim of “supporting men in leading meaningful lives of integrity, accountability, responsibility, and emotional intelligence.” It was among this group that ManWoman said he had “found his tribe,” according to close friend Greg Ross.

“He became an elder of significance in the group,” Ross said. “He mentored many men, not just in Cranbrook but elsewhere. He was also involved in mentoring men to become elders themselves.”

Ross said ManWoman was never afraid to stand out.

“He knew everything he was doing was controversial, but he never shied away from it.”

He acquired local renown, not just for his tattoos, but for his comprehensive swastika museum, and events like his 1990 radio debate with Vancouver evangelist Michael Green, while his artwork takes pride of place on many a Cranbrook wall.

In recent years, ManWoman found he had acquired a legendary stature among a newer generation of seekers. In particular, he is considered the founder of

the movement to reclaim the swastika. He was treated as a guest of honour during his two visits to the Traditional Tattoo and World Culture Festival in Cobh, Ireland, in 2010 and 2011.

“It feels good to me,” he told he Townsman in 2010. “I had no idea when I started this 40 years ago that I would see any real success in my lifetime. It’s amazing how it’s taking off.”

“He was my friend, neighbour and Sufi brother, and like many I will miss his unique presence and treasure the legacy of his lifework,” Darcy Russell said.

The Cranbrook and District Arts Council also issued a statement. “ManWoman is not only a gifted artist and writer but also a staunch supporter of the arts. His presence here in Cranbrook, along with his passion, his artistic courage, his spiritual quests in his work, and his quirky, pointed, and often hilarious examinations of life, make our community a better place. He has given graciously of his time and talent to the Cranbrook and District Arts Council for years, and is a respected adjudicator of others’ work.

There’s no question he is a cultural leading light. We will miss him terribly.”

With portions of an interview with Christine Boyd, East Kootenay Weekly, 1999.

Dix promises positive campaign From Page 3 Dix saved harsh criticism for recent television advertising launched by the Liberal governments that talk about recent contribution for skills training, and wondered if that money could have been better spent providing the very training they promote.

“In the last few weeks the Premier has gone on television on this issue. So they cut actual funding to

young people, and they’re spending the money on television ads for the Liberal Party,” he said.

“I don’t think the people of Cranbrook think it’s a good idea to spend scarce public resources promoting the Liberal Party. Anyone who suggests they do is out of touch with the people of Cranbrook.”

On pipelines: Dix said the Liberal government has flipflopped on the issue of proposed pipelines

through the province and Premier Christy Clark is now fighting for a bigger piece of the pie after handing the decision off to the federal government.

“When the polls said that more people favoured the Enbridge Norther Gateway Pipeline than opposed it, we took up a clear position – we told people what it was,” he said.

“When you contrast with the Premier’s position, which is to hand over jurisdiction to the

federal government and then make threats that she could not possibly follow through on such as turning off their power – which is something that legally she couldn’t do. I think we should have a more serious approach to these issues and that’s what we’re presenting.”

On marijuana: Dix was clear that he does not encourage drug use, but said the recent ballot initiative that legalized marijuana in Washington State

will soon turn debate on this side of the border.

“I do not recommend people smoke marijuana. I think that the way we regulate marijuana today is not the best thing but I am not an advocate of that,” he said. “I am not an advocate of drug use, and I think we have to say that clearly.”

He predicts that in the 2015 federal election it will be a campaign issue, because

regardless of how B.C. politicians and residents feel, the matter is for the Parliament of Canada.

“The federal parliament has decided that marijuana is illegal under the criminal code – in fact the current government has increased penalties in the most recent crime bill for marijuana. So they’ve gone in the opposite direction to I think what most Canadians think is the right approach and now it appears most Americans think is the wrong approach.”

For now it’s time to wait and watch what happens in the two American states – Colorado and Washington, but Dix said his position has been clear on the issue from day one.

“I’ve always been a supporter of decriminalizing marijuana

possession. I’ve always felt that was the right approach,” he said.

“I’m even now probably a moderate on the question.”

On the Ktunaxa treaty: Dix said he will be the first to applaud a successful treaty negotiation when a deal is reached between the provincial governments and the Ktunaxa First Nation.

“I think one of the mistakes that occurred by the present government was not to build on what the previous government had done on First Nations,” he said.

“I’m hopeful they’ll succeed and if they do I’ll even praise the government because we’ve got to make progress, and it’s been too long.”

The Kimberley Early Childhood Development (ECD) team would like all families to take a break from their regular routine on Tuesday, November 20 and join in the many fun free activities planned through-out our community in honor of National Child Day.

It is a day to celebrate what a supportive community we live in and think about how we all have a part in helping children reach their full potential.

It is so easy to get wrapped up in our day to day routine that sometimes we forget how important it is to spend time and have fun with our children.

“We love any reason to play and National Child Day is a great reason to pause and spend some time with our children.” says Kim Roberts, Kimberley CBAL Coordinator. “Parents are their children’s first and best teacher, and there is no better way to learn than through play!

The astronomers at the European Southern Observatory in Chile have now found such a planet. It is called HD 40307g, and it orbits a small orange-coloured sun 42 light-years from here. The planet is rocky, like Earth, and it orbits its star at a distance where the temperature allows water to exist as a liquid. It is certainly a candidate for life.

In the past decade we have learned that most stars have planets, and that they typically have lots of them. HD 40307 has six planets orbiting at different distances, at least one of which (HD40307g) is in the “Goldilocks” zone.

There are between 200 billion and 400 billion stars in our home galaxy, the Milky Way, and probably at least as many planets.

If only one in a hundred of those planets harbours life, which is likely to be an underestimate, then there are two billion living planets. We are not unique and special.

We are as common as dirt.

Douglas Adams also wrote: “If life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.” But we are gradually acquiring exactly that, and it doesn’t really hurt. It is possible to be aware of your own cosmic insignificance and still love your children. Even though they are without significance too.

Sidney Crosby: NHL owners aren’t in a hurry to get a deal done to end lockout

DAILY BULLETIN

Sports News? Call Trevor 250-426-5201, ext. 212 trevor@dailytownsman.com

PITTSBURGH - Sidney Crosby says it takes two to tango.

The Pittsburgh Penguins captain stood by his frustration Tuesday at the lack of movement in negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and the NHL Players’ Association.

And Crosby pointed the finger squarely at the owners.

“I don’t think there’s much negotiating going on. I think as far as the proposals are concerned it’s just kind of at a standstill right now,” Crosby told reporters after skating in Pittsburgh. “Nobody’s moving a whole lot on their side and I think that we’ve made steps to show that we’re willing to negotiate.

“I don’t think that’s really happening on the other side.”

Talks between the NHL and the NHLPA to end the lockout picked up last week before stalling over the weekend. No new bargaining sessions are planned and Crosby says the players feel like they’re negotiating with an unwilling partner.

Blue Jays make blockbuster trade with Miami C ANADIAN PRESS

MIAMI - The Toronto Blue Jays appear to be on the verge of a blockbuster trade with the Miami Marlins.

A person familiar with the deal says Toronto has acquired right-hander Josh Johnson in a trade with Miami.

Several media outlets are also reporting that the Blue Jays will also get starter Mark Buehrle, all-star shortstop Jose Reyes, infielder Emilio Bonifacio and catcher John Buck from the Marlins.

The person confirmed Johnson’s role

in the trade to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the teams weren’t commenting amid talk they had agreed to a blockbuster deal.

In return, the Jays would send a package to Miami that includes shortstops Yunel Es-

When reached by The Canadian Press, a spokesperson for the Toronto Blue Jays declined comment.

went 8-14 this year with a 3.81 ERA for the Marlins, who endured a dismal season in their new ballpark and began dismantling the team in July.

Eskimos look to the future after ugly season John Korobanik Canadian Press

EDMONTON - The Edmonton Eskimos cleaned out their lockers Monday, bitterly disappointed over their loss in the East Division semifinal a day earlier.

Yet despite a tumultuous season that ended on an ugly note, there was still optimism that the franchise will be turned around.

“It was a season where a lot of things went on, up and down, a roller coaster, but one we can learn from,” said defensive back Joe Burnett. “We saw a lot of young guys play, grow and work and they will contribute next year and years to come.”

The Eskimos’ season ended Sunday much like the team’s entire year, in confusion, second-guessing and defeat. Their 42-26 loss to the Toronto Argonauts didn’t feel out of place after finishing 7-11 during the regular season.

“I’ve always judged myself, did you walk away a winner or did you walk away a loser, and we walked away as losers this year,” said linebacker J.C. Sherritt, the West nominee for most outstanding de-

fensive player, who didn’t play against the Argos because of an ankle injury.

Defensive lineman Almondo Sewell said the Toronto game was like a microcosm of the team’s season.

“Yeah, pretty much,” he said. “Just a lot of bad breaks happened in that game ... we killed ourselves with mental mistakes.”

Still, Sewell said there were a lot of positives to be taken from the season.

“We proved we can come back from almost anything ... going through a lot of tough times but we got through it, that’s what we have to take from it.”

The team heads into the off-season facing more questions than answers.

The first question that has to be answered is who will be named general manager to replace Eric Tillman, who was fired a week before the playoff game.

Names mentioned include head coach Kavis Reed and former player and current head scout Ed Hervey.

Reed wouldn’t commit one way or the other Monday, saying

his focus right now “is decompressing from the season and making sure decisions that are made for this franchise are the right decisions.

“I’m not going to be one who advocates for a position. I’m focused on making sure the decision that is made is, first of all, right for my family, but most importantly right for this franchise.”

Key among the new GM’s early priorities will be trying to re-sign the 13 free agents, including nine defensive starters, and trying to figure who will be the team’s quarterback of the future. Tillman’s trade of Ricky Ray to Toronto proved to be a monstrous mistake that left the Eskimos without a competent starting pivot.

Kerry Joseph, at 39, said he plans to return next year but he can’t likely be counted on to be a full-time starter.

Steven Jyles, the man obtained in the Ray trade, hasn’t shown in six years with four teams the ability to be a starter. And Matt Nichols, the obvious choice to be the starting quarterback, broke his ankle in Toronto.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/FRANK GUNN

Edmonton Eskimos quarterback Matt Nichols is taken off the field folllowing a serious leg injury during third quarter CFL Eastern Semi-Final action in Toronto on Sunday November 11, 2012.

On crutches, Nichols said he will see his doctor Tuesday to schedule surgery to insert a pin that will come out in February.

“It’s probably the best case scenario really, for what happened,” he said. “I plan on being ready for training

camp.”

The second-guessing went on all season and continued Monday after three coaching decisions that had huge impact on the playoff loss.

Why play Sherritt and his injured ankle in the final regular season

game, just so he could get the CFL tackle record, when he was then lost for the playoff?

Reed said Monday he wouldn’t change that decision and Sherritt suggested he probably wouldn’t have much choice.

“The thing with that

game, if I can play I’m going to,” said Sherritt.

“It’s not fair for the defence to go out when the guys are banged up, and they’re all playing.

How is it fair for me to sit down? If I’m ever put in that situation again I promise I’ll be out there playing.”

Mexican beach escape just the ticket travel

In this week’s travel column, Joyce Termuende of Uniglobe Travel takes you on a sunny escape to Playa del Carmen, Mexico

W

hite beaches, blue sky, turquoise water, warm humid air… that’s Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Playa is located about 70km south of Cancun, on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, in the area known as Riviera Maya.

Playa was once a small fishing village. As tourism grew, a port was built for ferry traffic to the island of Cozumel, which lies a few miles offshore and is famous for its world-renowned scuba diving. Today, Playa is a thriving tourism destination with a population of about 150,000.

Getting to Playa is as easy as a sixhour direct flight from Calgary, then a 40-minute taxi ride from the Cancun International Airport on a high speed, divided highway that follows the coastline. Flights are easily arranged out of Spokane or Vancouver as well.

The accommodations range from quaint seaside hotels to up-scale, mega all-inclusive resorts, and everything in between.

Hours can be filled exploring the hundreds of shops, bars and restaurants along the popular shopping district of Fifth Avenue, which is located just off of the beach in the heart of the city.

Cozumel is a 35-minute ferry ride to amazing snorkelling and scuba diving, as well as many quaint shops and restaurants.

Located within one hour of Playa are the Mexican–themed “eco-archaeological parks” Xcaret, Xel-ha and the new Xplor, which feature swimming with dolphins, underground river tubing as well as ancient ruins. The world famous Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza are located within a three-hour bus ride and are an extremely popular historical attraction.

Also, several world class golf courses are within a 15-minute drive.

And the beaches can’t be beat. The waters of the Caribbean stay warm all winter, combined with very moderate air temperatures. The white sand and clear, warm turquoise water make swimming and snorkelling amongst the colourful fish an experience not to be forgotten.

Playa is also a very popular choice for destination weddings, where a large number of hotel properties have very experienced staff dedicated to making weddings relatively carefree and enjoyable for everyone.

To book: Take advantage of an early booking offer at Uniglobe Travel, 24-10th Avenue South, Cranbrook, phone 250-426-8975.

The beaches of Playa del Carmen make the perfect mid-winter escape.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Communicate an unusual idea, yet be willing to accept suggestions.

A brainstorming session could be fruitful. The unexpected plays a large role in how events unfurl.

You will respond in what might be considered a startling manner. Tonight: Nearly anything is possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might keep pushing the limit with a partner. A discussion about ideas could be more important than you realize. A friend confuses plans without meaning to. Relax and work with the changes, if you can. Note a sudden insight.

Tonight: Dinner for two.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others seek you out; try to remain responsive. Your imagination could take you in a new direction.

Share some of these thoughts with a close associate. You could be surprised by this person’s reaction. You can’t predict what he or she will do. Tonight: Go with the program.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might be unusually focused on your daily life. Somehow, someone shakes up the status quo, and you’ll realize how accustomed you have become to a tried-andtrue routine. Allow yourself to be uncomfortable and let some new elements into your life. Tonight: Get some R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Let your mind expand to other ways of thinking. You will notice the difference and be more positive as a result. A partner could surprise you with an idea, which might be hard to grasp. Your fiery personality emerges when facing the unexpected. Tonight: Let your hair down.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Stay centered, and know what you want. Take some time to get grounded before heading into what could be an unusually busy day. A partner continues to be vague. This fugue state is authentic, but there really isn’t a reason for it. Give this person some space.

Tonight: Order in.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Stay on top of your work, an important situation or simply the

For Better or Worse

day’s events. A friend or associate inadvertently could confuse plans or a conversation. You might decide to go off and do your own research in order to confirm what you are hearing. Tonight: Talk up a storm.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Know that you could change your budget and priorities if you so choose. You might not be sure as to what your expectations are with a creative option or dynamic personality in your life. Think less and enjoy more. Tonight: Treat yourself well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are energized, and you zoom right through any confusion. You’ll come out on top, no matter what.

Your impulsiveness, mixed with your ingenuity, carries you easily through any hassles. A child or loved one could surprise you.

Tonight: Let the fun begin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your intuition tells you that more information is coming. Remember to assume a passive stance.

Though this trait is not innate to you, it could work. Your resourceful mind cannot be turned off, so note

the ideas that inevitably come forward. Remain positive. Tonight: At home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your immediate concern goes from others’ evaluation of your work or performance to simply letting go and being yourself. You can’t push to the extent that you have without integrating some lighter and easier interactions. Tonight: A friend makes life far more appealing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pull back and examine what is happening. Be careful not to make judgments or become triggered.

Your eyes will open up to a new perspective, especially if you can accept responsibility for your side of the issue. Tonight: In the limelight.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Recently, my husband mentioned that he wanted to get together with some friends for a project. I encouraged him to invite the guys to our home to work on it. I thought it would be a few hours, but it ended up taking well over 12. They arrived early in the morning and stayed until late that night, taking over our living room.

I suggested in private to my husband that he should have wrapped things up by late afternoon. The project is for fun. It’s not like they had a deadline for work. It is also designed to continue on a weekly basis for the next six months, so committing to only a portion of the day would not have made much difference.

My husband, however, is a people pleaser and didn’t feel he could ask his friends to leave before they wanted to.

Would it be wise to discuss a lax but scheduled time of arrival and departure with them in the future, or am I being unfair to suggest that the party should move elsewhere after 10 hours? I want my husband and his friends to feel comfortable in our home, but I also don’t want my house invaded for such a long period of time. -- East Coast Dear East Coast: It is always wise to discuss time constraints in advance, particularly when overstaying annoys you so much. Some wives would have no objection to a 12-hour marathon. They would occupy themselves elsewhere, and this is one option for you. But please discuss reasonable limits with your husband, allowing yourself to be the “bad guy” in order for him to ask his friends to leave when you’ve had enough. There is no point creating ill will with one’s spouse if it could easily be avoided.

Dear Annie: My husband has been put on the lung transplant list, and we are praying and waiting. Please remind your readers about donating their organs. They only need to mark the back of their driver’s licenses. Many people are desperate for a lung, and my husband’s time is getting shorter. -- Vermont Dear Vermont: People are also desperately waiting for kidneys, livers, hearts and corneas. We urge all of our readers to consider the gift of being an organ donor.

Dear Annie: I’d like to add another take to “Not a Fan of the Big Gulp.” I agree that a Big Gulp is probably a little over the top.

However, I always bring my own canned soda to my family’s parties.

You see, I am a recovering alcoholic with 24 years of sobriety. Sadly, my family members cannot be trusted not to add liquor to whatever is served. My sponsor suggested that I bring my own drink and keep it with me at all times. One can then be certain that alcohol-free drinks are neither tampered with nor inadvertently mixed with alcoholic drinks.

At a bridal shower for my nephew’s fiancee, I brought my own soda. As I was leaving, my sister took me aside and told me that our niece had spiked the lemonade with vodka so people would “loosen up.” I was shocked and angry that this 37-year-old niece would pull such a juvenile and dangerous trick. Aside from my sobriety, she never considered that some guests may have been taking medication that could be lethal in combination with alcohol. -- Recovering Drunk Dear Recovering: We are certain that etiquette would give you a pass. We also heard from someone whose well water was tainted. But in most instances, it is rude to bring your own beverage to occasions where there is a variety served. And it is never appropriate to bring a Big Gulp.

Ohio woman who drove on sidewalk to avoid school bus holds ‘idiot’ sign under court order Thomas J. Sheer an Associated Press

CLEVELAND — A woman caught on camera driving on a sidewalk to pass a Cleveland school bus that was unloading children stood in the cold Tuesday at an intersection holding a sign warning people about idiots.

A Cleveland Municipal Court judge ordered 32-year-old Shena Hardin to serve the highly public sentence for one hour Tuesday and Wednesday for the Sept. 11 citation.

She arrived bundled up against the near-freezing cold, puffing a cigarette and wearing head phones as passing vehicles honked.

Satellite TV trucks were on hand to stream the event live near downtown Cleveland.

The sign read: “Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus.’’

Hardin refused to comment, as did her mother, who watched from a parked car.

Hardin’s license was suspended for 30 days and she was ordered to pay $250 in court costs.

Lisa Kelley, whose nine-yearold daughter boards the bus which Hardin had been passing on the sidewalk, said the sentence fit the crime.

“She’s an idiot, just like her sign says,’’ Kelley said as she watched Hardin lean against a fence, her head down and her eyes hidden by dark glasses.

“She did this almost every day last year,’’ Kelley said. “She won’t stop laughing. She’s not remorseful, she laughed at every court appearance. She’s still laughing,

so she needs to be humiliated like this.’’

Kelley said she was only sorry the woman was standing in the cold and not the rain or snow.

A message seeking comment was left for Hardin’s attorneys.

Bill Lipold, 37, who works nearby in the blue-collar neighbourhood of older homes and factories, yelled, “Why do you hate kids?’’ to Hardin.

He hopes the punishment works. “How else are you going to stop her from doing it again? She really didn’t show remorse for her action after being caught, so you’ve got to try something,’’ he asked.

With two schools located with two blocks of the location and busy commuter traffic, the area can be risky for youngsters walking to class, Lipold said.

Oxford dictionaries choose ‘omnishambles’ as British word of the year Jill L awless Associated Press

LONDON — Britain’s media are in a meltdown and its government is gaffe-prone, so Oxford Dictionaries has chosen an apt Word of the Year: “omnishambles.’’

Oxford University Press on Tuesday crowned the word — defined as “a situation that has been comprehensively mismanaged, characterized by a string of blunders and miscalculations’’ — its top term of 2012.

Each year Oxford University Press tracks how the English language is changing and chooses a word that best reflects the mood of the year. The publisher typically chooses separate British and American winners. This year’s American champion is “gif,’’ short for graphics interchange format, a common format for images on the Internet.

The editors said gif was being recognized for making the crucial transition from noun to verb, “to gif’’: to create a gif file of an image or video sequence, especially relating to an event. And, inevitably, to share it online. Cute kittens, Olympic champions, Presi-

dent Obama — they’ve all been giffed.

Coined by writers of the satirical television show “The Thick of It,’’ omnishambles has been applied to everything from government PR blunders to the crisisridden preparations for the London Olympics.

Oxford University Press lexicographer Susie Dent said the word was chosen for its popularity as well as its “linguistic productivity.’’

She said “a notable coinage coming from the word is Romneyshambles’’ — a derisive term used by the British press after U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney expressed doubts about London’s ability to host a successful Olympics.

Omnishambles was chosen over shortlisted terms including “mummy porn’’ — the genre exemplified by the bestselling “50 Shades’’ book series — and “green-on-blue,’’ military attacks by forces regarded as neutral, as when members of the Afghan army or police attack foreign troops. (For American English speakers, it’s “mommy porn.’’)

The Olympics offered up finalists including the verb “to medal,’’

‘’Games Maker“ — the name given to thousands of Olympic volunteers — and distance runner Mo Farah’s victory dance, ‘’the Mobot.“ Europe’s financial crisis lent the shortlisted word “Eurogeddon,’’ while technology produced “second screening’’ — watching TV while simultaneously using a computer, phone or tablet — and social media popularized the acronym “YOLO,’’ you only live once.

The final shortlisted term in Britain is an old word given new life. “Pleb,’’ a derogatory epithet for lower-class people, was alleged to have been uttered to a police officer by British Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell. He denied using the term, but resigned.

Other words on the U.S. shortlist included Higgs boson (as in particle), superstorm (as in Sandy) and “nomophobia,’’ the anxiety caused by being without one’s mobile phone.

All the shortlisted words have made a splash in 2012, but editors say there is no guarantee any of them will endure long enough to enter the hallowed pages of the Oxford English Dictionary.

New York governor seeks $30 billion in superstorm aid Michael Virtanen Associated Press

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York’s governor plans to request $30 billion in U.S. aid to rebuild after Superstorm Sandy, which heavily damaged parts of New York City and Long Island.

The state will seek a supplemental appropriation to cover infrastructure, repair and emergency costs beyond those normally covered by federal emergency aid, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday.

The plan to request federal aid, first reported Monday by The New York Times, would help cover the cost of improvements like a power grid meant to improve utilities’ ability to find and fix outages.

The storm left more than 100 peo-

ple dead across several states, most of them in New York and neighbouring New Jersey.

Last week, Cuomo said the storm would cost New York state $33 billion and he was counting on a commitment from the Obama administration for reimbursement for many public costs of rebuilding.

Meanwhile, New York City is pouring $500 million into repairing public schools and hospitals damaged by the storm. With 23 schools and two city-owned hospitals still closed two weeks after the storm, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other officials announced plans Monday to put up $200 million for critical fixes to schools and $300 million for hospitals.
