Merry Christmas
Legion serving up annual dinner Volunteers prepare Christmas Day feast BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
The Christmas season is synonymous with joy and warmth but it can also herald in one of the hardest times of the year for some people. The celebrations and family gatherings that take place in abundance for most people can underline the isolation of those who do not have family to celebrate with. But for anyone who could find themselves alone on Dec. 25, the Royal Canadian Trail Legion and the annual community Christmas dinner has a solution: join them. The free dinner held in the Trail Legion Hall comes complete with turkey and all of the trimmings, and around 125 other people to socialize with.
For a lot of the people that have come out to the dinner in the past, they don’t have family in the area, said the dinner’s organizer and creator, Glenda Reilly. “It gives (people) somewhere to go to have a nice Christmas dinner and a little bit of socialization for the day,” she said. “This time of the year can be a tough time of the year for a lot of people, so we just like to put it out there that this is going on. So if you don’t have anybody in the area, come on out and spend a couple of hours and have dinner with us.” The dinner is open to anyone. Families are welcome but the dinner is mostly focused on single people who are by themselves, and elderly people who are on their own, said Reilly. The dinner started years ago when a group of Legion See SPOTS, Page 4

A Christmas present came early for the Zanier family. Nearly five months after 16-year-old Kolby had a heart transplant at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton on July 19, she was back at school in Rossland at the beginning of October—at the head of her Grade 11 class at Rossland Secondary School. It was less than 18 months ago that Kolby was the first pediatric patient in Canada to receive a leading-edge heart pump that helped her heart pump blood through her body. And it was 12 years ago when she was diagnosed with Alstrom Syndrome, a rare genetic disease that can affect vision, hearing, kidney and liver function, and can also
cause heart failure. But that ordeal is nearly over for Kolby and her family, said her mother Aileen, and the gift of a new life is one they aren’t looking in the mouth. It’s going to be a great Christmas, she said. “She is the strongest kid I know,” she said. “She took a couple of days off (after surgery) and then went right back to school. She hasn’t stopped since. She’s a really big wow.” Before Kolby left Edmonton in October after her surgery, she and the rest of her family— Aileen, her father Barry, and sisters Taryn, 25, and Kailyn, 19—participated in the onekilometre Hope for Little Hearts Walk/Run, a fundraiser for little children with heart problems.

With a history as deep as its powder when it comes to downhill skiing — including Nancy Greene Raine, George Grey, Kerrin Lee Gartner and Olaus Jeldness, the father of competitive skiing in Canada — the city is a natural fit for the museum, said Rossland Mayor Greg Granstrom in a letter to the museum committee in Ottawa. 3 - Many parents in Greater Trail are scrambling to make child care plans for school-age children as the province’s teachers began their three-day strike. In a letter to parents, School District No. 20 (Kootenay Boundary) superintendent of schools Greg Luterbach said they are requesting parents keep their children home for the three days of job action. 7 - About 200 people from various local unions gathered at the Trail Cenotaph prior to walking over to School District 20’s board office in support of teachers rallying against pending back-to-work legislation. 15 – The Village of Warfield pulls out of merger talks with Trail due to the uncertainty of industrial taxation. 16 – A father-and-son backcountry skiing duo from Boston was located by Rossland Search and Rescue after spending a frigid night in a drainage area leading to Esling Creek. 21 – The first day of spring brings a fresh dump of snow to Greater Trail. 22 – Pacific Coastal Airlines announces more flights to Vancouver from Trail for the spring and summer.
24 – The federal NDP selects Thomas Mulcair as its new leader. Local MP Alex Atamanenko is confident it will be a smooth transition for the party as it returns to Parliament. 26 – The regional district’s main sewage line came apart above the Columbia River underneath the bridge’s deck in late afternoon, spilling around 5,500 cubic metres of largely liquid sewage into the river over the next few hours. The regional interceptor pipe that services Rossland, Warfield, Rivervale, Oasis and West Trail was comprised of several sections of steel pipe, held together with a clamp, securing it to the piers of the bridge high above the river. 31 – Salmo wins a $5,000 energy upgrade to its library after garnering the most pledges for the FortisBC Earth Hour Challenge. ***** April 4 – A report prepared for Trail council shows that the Trail airport has proven more reliable than the Castlegar airport. 9 – Anne Hebert is one of 40 B.C. residents to receive the 2012 Community Achievement Award for dedicating her time to four community organizations. 19 – Trail welcomes municipal and regional leaders for the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Government’s (AKBLG) convention.

The day was capped off with a ceremony at Gyro Park before continuing its journey the following day through Warfield and Rossland.

Spots still available for dinner
FROM PAGE 1 members were sitting around and, for varying reasons, they had nothing to do for Christmas and were alone, Reilly recalled. They thought if there were six people here there would be more out there that were alone, and the idea of the dinner was born. Five volunteers worked all day in the kitchen to pull off that first dinner, and then set it up and served it to 45 people. Now the dinner has around 15 volunteers, organized with military precision on specific duties: serving, cooking, set up and clean up. The crew comes in early on
Dec. 25 and prepares and cooks the turkey and vegetables, preparing everything for later in the day. Then the set up and serving crews roll in later in the afternoon, serving up the dinner at 5 p.m. “A lot of the volunteers are people who don’t have family in the area and are on their own as well,” said Reilly. “It gives them something to do for the day and they feel like they are giving back. And there are a few people who want to give back to what Christmas is supposed to mean.” The dinner’s attendance is capped at 125. Last year they served over 130 people with
some to-go meals delivered for people who were shut in. Although 95 people have already registered for the dinner, there are some spots open. However, it is asked if people either phone or come by the Legion and pick up a ticket so the actual numbers of people who are coming is known.. “We would just like people to let us know they are coming, and if, for whatever reason, they aren’t we can fill that spot in with someone else. Contact the Royal Canadian Trail Legion at 364-1422 to register for free tickets. The Legion is located at 2141 Columbia Ave.

is “borderline dialysis” and might need a kidney transplant, said Aileen. “We’re hoping they kick back in because apparently the kidneys are pretty lazy and they need a good boot to start (up). We’re hoping that will work for her,” she said. The month after Christmas will be crucial, said Aileen. That’s when Kolby will be six months post-operative with the transplant and she will be heading back to Edmonton for a major check up. That is when doctors will do a biopsy of her heart, said Aileen, to see how the transplant is taking. And if everything is good her heart transplant procedure will be declared a success, she said. “And if everything continues as well as it has been that is when they will start weaning her off the 30 or so medications she is on,” Aileen said.

The Alliance Church youth group helped collect and package over 600 shoeboxes to be sent out by Greyhound Canada. Behind the young people is a stack of cartons containing the 600 boxes.
Shoebox campaign tops 600 mark BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
The shrinking of Trail’s retail economy has impacted local efforts for spreading Christmas cheer. The closure of the downtown Dollar Store in the Silver City—coupled with a downturn in the economy—contributed to a lower amount of shoeboxes being donated to Operation Christmas Child this year, said organizer Dwayne McDonnell. Last year Greater Trail residents contributed over 800 boxes to the program—which encourages local people to collect gifts and items assembled in a shoebox for children in third world countries around the globe—but fell over 200 boxes short of that total this year. McDonnell said the Dollar Store gave out a lot boxes each year
and also offered people a 20 per cent discount on items purchased in the store for the boxes. At the outset of the program in mid October, McDonnell set a goal of 1,000 boxes from Greater Trail. “I ... may have been too optimistic but I think a ‘goal’ should be a challenge to meet,” he said. “So, even though we didn’t reach 1,000 boxes we were able to touch the lives of 600 children in a very personal way.” The program’s final total ended up with over 600 boxes, boosted with around 50 late drop-offs. “So I think that in itself was a success,” McDonnell added. This year Operation Christmas Child will have shoe boxes heading to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Venezuela, Paraguay, Guinea and Equatorial Guinea. To be able to do this Greyhound Canada provided free transportation costs to get the
boxes to the program’s major collection centre located in Calgary, Alta., where they are checked to make sure everything in the boxes is safe for the children to receive, and then re-boxed for flight. “If Greyhound did not supply this incredible service this humanitarian effort would not be possible because the costs would sky rocket,” McDonnell explained. Now that its ninth year of operation is complete, McDonnell said the program has grown increasingly “touching” as more and more young parents pack shoeboxes and take the time to teach their children to think of those who are less fortunate. The young people who receive the shoeboxes have experienced the worst of sadness, drought, disease, famine, and civil war and have no access to the simple luxuries these shoeboxes provide, he said.

Motorists hit by falling ice on new bridge By Jeff Nagel
Surrey North Delta Leader
Like ice bombs falling from the sky. That’s how motorists described their nightmare on the Port Mann Bridge early Wednesday afternoon when giant icicles began to drop from the overhead cables and damage cars. RCMP closed the new toll bridge in both directions for several hours until about 6 p.m. after many vehicles were hit by the falling ice and two occupants were injured, sending one to hospital. Several large clumps of ice crashed through car windshields and ICBC has received 107 vehicle damage claims as of Thursday morning. “There was no way to get around it, there was no way to move – it looked like a meteor shower of snow,” said Jared Angell of Abbotsford. His work truck sports a spider web of cracks in the front windshield and multiple dents to the roof. He was one of at least four drivers with Port Mann ice damage who ended up in the same autobody shop in Abbotsford. Provincial officials aren’t yet conceding the newly opened bridge, the centrepiece of the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1
Improvement Project, suffers from any design flaw. The cables that hold up the bridge run across traffic lanes, connecting the central towers between the twin bridge decks to their outer edges. Cables staying the Alex Fraser and Golden Ears bridges don’t run diagonally above their bridge decks. Transportation Investment Corp. CEO Mike Proudfoot said engineers are assessing the bridge to determine what went wrong and what can be done to prevent recurrences. Proudfoot said the bridge’s design is supposed to ensure snow buildup slides down the cables and over the side and doesn’t drop onto the bridge deck. Preemptive closures of the bridge could be an option when similar weather conditions are anticipated, he said. The cables are not heated but Proudfoot said it was too early to say if some deicing retrofit could help. He said the province will pay the ICBC insurance deductibles of drivers whose vehicles were damaged on the bridge. It’s not yet clear if drivers without comprehensive insurance will be reimbursed or if deductibles will be paid for motorists with optional coverage from other insurers.

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The cost of getting a Canadian passport is going up significantly in the new year. Without the fee increases, Passport Canada would not be able to maintain current operations, let alone offer securityenhanced travel documents, the agency says. New regulations posted this week confirm the cost of a five-year passport will increase to $120 from $87. And starting in July 2013, a 10-year passport will also be
offered for $160. By March 2014, Passport Canada will also charge an additional $45 to replace a passport that’s lost or stolen, something that’s currently free. Approximately 55,000 Canadian passports are reported lost or stolen annually, the agency said. As well, anyone ordering or wanting to receive their passport outside of Canada will see fees nearly double. The agency said it’s currently losing nearly $5 every time it issues a passport, and has been financing its defi-
Rescued boarder to get hefty bill
THE CANADIAN PRESS WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. - An official says a 33-year-old snowboarder from Ottawa who was rescued from a wilderness area north of Vancouver can expect a hefty bill for searchers’ efforts. Sebastien Boucher got lost on Sunday after straying out of bounds near the Cypress Mountain ski area. Initial attempts to find him were hampered by poor weather and the risk of avalanches, but searchers managed to locate his tracks late Tuesday in a gully near the Sea-to-Sky Highway. A Cormorant helicopter was brought in late Tuesday to lift him out of the area and take him to safety, and he was found to be in stable condition despite his ordeal. Joffrey Koeman of Cypress Mountain said Wednesday that Boucher could be fined up to $10,000 but even that fee won’t cover all the costs. He said Boucher made several mistakes, ignored warning signs, ventured into the backcountry alone, didn’t stay in one spot and didn’t call for help in a timely manner. HIGH FRAME RATE 3D

Tales of Christmas, reindeer and cowboys
A
s a very young child in Ireland many years ago, two Christmas songs vied for the designation of being my favourite. One was Jingle Bells, while the other was Rudolph the RedNosed Reindeer. Although the competition was nip and tuck, Rudolph generally edged it. Even then, I was a sucker for a story. Not all children were equally impressed. Thousands of miles away in Toronto’s East York, my future wife took a different view. The story of Santa’s annual delivery was already perfectly told in the classic T’was the Night Before Christmas. And as that managed very nicely with just eight reindeer, adding another was spoiling a good thing. Rudolph had its genesis in a promotional poem written for the Montgomery Ward department store in 1939, being later turned into a song by a guy called Johnny Marks. At first, it was difficult to find a taker. Names like Bing Crosby, Perry Como and Dinah Shore turned it down.
Eventually, it found its way to the Singing Cowboy himself, Gene Autry. Although legend has it that Autry wasn’t particularly keen, he recorded the song on a June 1949 day in Los Angeles. Released that September, it became an enormous recurring Christmas hit, reputedly selling over two million copies in its first year. And as Autry biographer Holly George-Warren notes, it went on to sell many more millions over the ensuing decades. But the story’s interest derives from more than the creation of a hugely lucrative novelty hit. It’s also about two men – Marks and Autry – who can be accurately described as quintessential 20th century American types. Born into affluent circumstances in Mount Vernon, New York, in 1909, Marks specialised in writing songs for the Christmas market. The fact that he himself was Jewish was neither here nor there. He was a craftsman, and craftsmen found their market niche and duly serviced it.

(Interestingly, the man who wrote the most popular Christmas song of all – White Christmas – was also Jewish. But, unlike Marks, Irving Berlin’s range of themes was much broader.) After graduating with a 1935 B.A. in English, Marks turned to songwriting, something that he later said he had wanted to do since he was 13. When war came, he joined the army and served in Europe. While Rudolph was certainly his biggest success, Marks wasn’t exactly a one-trick pony. Other hits included I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day (based on an 1863 Longfellow poem), and A Holly Jolly
Christmas. His craftsmanship even allowed him to survive the advent of rock ‘n’ roll, courtesy of Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree and Run Rudolph Run. And in an industry where the creators were often fleeced by the smart guys, Marks was nobody’s victim. When he was ready to unleash Rudolph on the world, he set up his own music publishing company so as to own all the rights. Autry’s beginnings were much humbler. He was born in 1907 rural Texas, coming into the world on credit as his father had disappeared on a periodic ramble during his mother’s pregnancy. But what he lacked in formal education, he more than made up for in pure street smarts. In later life, he put it this way: “Actually, working with numbers was what I did best. What I did less well was sing, act, and play the guitar.” Although he didn’t invent the Singing Cowboy movie genre, Autry was both the most successful exponent and the first to fully exploit it, pushing the boundaries into mer-
chandising. And after concluding that his contract with Republic Pictures was one-sided (albeit legal), he cleverly manoeuvred a renegotiation. Like Marks, Autry served in World War II, in his case flying transport planes in Asia. Afterwards he returned to making money – lots and lots of it. In this, his financial acumen wasn’t confined to the management of his showbusiness career. He was also an extremely shrewd investor, so much so that for many years Forbes magazine listed him as among the 400 richest Americans. Still, when Autry died in 1998, he left behind more than a large fortune and fading cultural memories. If you’re ever in Los Angeles with a few hours to spare, visit his Museum of the American West in Griffith Park. You won’t regret it.

Letters & Opinion Letters to the editor
Many reasons to join Relay for Life When we no longer have to fear for our lives, say goodbye to our loved ones, fight such an enormous battle, or hear the words, “you have cancer;” that would be the victory to my war. Wouldn’t it be amazing if one day we had cure and we can say that everything will be okay! For too long have we fallen victim to this disgusting disease, it is time to end this now. My name is Adam Macasso and this is the reason why I Relay for Life. I am 18 years old and I have been participating in this extraordinary event for seven years. It all started on the morning of Relay six years ago when my sister dragged me out of bed and over to the park for the Relay. Let me tell you when I got there
my eyes were wide open and the sound of music and excitement filled my ears. Wondering off, I met family friends and complete strangers who told me their life stories and how they are or were in the fierce battle for their own lives. I shared tears and laughter with them. There were also activities everywhere and people singing and dancing in the company of their companions. From that moment on, I was hooked. Throughout the years I continued to volunteer, and after one year I joined the Relay For Life planning committee. From there I took on many different rolls until I ended up to where I am now, the Event Operations Chair. To put it simply, I basically supervise
the event day to make sure everything runs smoothly so everyone can enjoy the great day. Being on the committee has given me friends whom I have created close relations with, great life experiences, and the feeling that I am doing something that will help make a difference. Relay For Life has always been a great success not just because of what I do, but with the help of all the wonderful committee volunteers, event-day volunteers, sponsors, and our participants and cancer survivors! Here is my request to you: come out and join Relay For Life! Whether you can spare one hour or twenty, there is a wide variety of ways you can help. If you want a life changing experience, don’t miss this oppor-
tunity - I almost did. The funds that are raised at Relay For Life are used to conduct outstanding cancer research for all types of cancer, influence change through advocacy efforts and Cancer prevention initiatives, and provide a range of practical and emotional support programs to people living with cancer and their families. Every step taken at Relay For Life helps people right here in Trail who are facing their own cancer journey. Please join us in making cancer history by volunteering on our Relay For Life planning Committee in Trail. Be a part of the inspiration, of the hope – and the fun!! Contact us at 250-3640403 to get involved. Adam Macasso Trail
Harper should meet with chief on hunger strike An editorial from the Toronto Star It’s a short limo drive, maybe five minutes, from Parliament Hill to Victoria Island in the middle of the Ottawa River. Heck, you could walk it in 10. So would it kill Stephen Harper to get out of his office and go meet the chief of the Attawapiskat First Nation who is staging a hunger strike on the island to get attention for her community’s plight? Remember Attawapiskat? It was all over the front pages a year ago when the Red Cross flew into the northern Ontario reserve to rescue people living in flimsy tents and shacks without running water as the coldest part of the year approached. The nation was shocked; politicians wrung their hands; ministers promised action. Twelve months later, Chief Theresa Spence is in a cabin on Victoria Island, saying she won’t eat until Harper meets with her. She says the pain of watching her people suffer from lack of housing and inadequate water supplies is unbearable. “I am willing to die for my people,” she says,
“because the pain is too much and it’s time for the government to realize what it’s doing to us.” It’s easy, too easy in fact, to dismiss what Spence is doing as a stunt. And it’s easy to say that Harper shouldn’t bow to such obvious public pressure. If he meets with her, won’t he have to meet with every other desperate native leader willing to put her health or even her life on the line to draw attention to conditions back home? The Conservative government is willing to do something for Spence. It’s ready to have the hapless aboriginal affairs minister, John Duncan, meet with her. But Spence is holding out for the top guy. So, memo to the prime minister: Don’t drag this out needlessly. Just do the right thing, make the grand gesture, and take an hour to visit with the leader of a community of Canadians who have suffered way too much. Since the crisis in Attawapiskat erupted at the end of November 2011, progress has been heartbreakingly slow. New trailers were brought in to provide decent
housing for 22 families, but others are still living in substandard conditions. Ottawa still badly underfunds education for native kids, spending thousands of dollars less on each pupil than the provinces spend on non-native children. The federal government’s response to Attawapiskat was to appoint an outside manager to oversee the community’s affairs, but that was harshly criticized in August by the Federal Court, which called the move “unreasonable in all circumstances.” A much-heralded “summit meeting” on all this involving Harper and top First Nations chiefs last January led to nothing much specific. And now Spence is staging her hunger strike, in obvious frustration over the lack of progress on Attawapiskat and what she calls a lack of respect for native leaders by Ottawa. The prime minister should cut through the bureaucracy and sit down with the chief. It might not work, but nothing else has made an impact on this tragic and intractable situation.

YEAR IN REVIEW
OBITUARIES HALIFAX, BARBARA JOAN — It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Wife, Mother, Nana and Great Nana, Barbara JOAN Halifax, 80, of Fruitvale, BC, who passed away with her family by her side in the early hours of Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at Columbia View Lodge in Trail, BC after a courageous battle with cancer. Joan, the eldest child of Elvin and Agnes (Pasty) Kraft, was born on November 25, 1932 in Nelson, BC. When she was 10 the family moved to Salmo, BC. Mom took great pride in the fact that at the age of 11 she took care of her siblings when her mother was diagnosed with cancer and had to go to Vancouver for radiation treatment. Mom was also proud of being named the 1948 July 1st Queen of Salmo. Mom left school in grade 10 and worked at Kerwin’s General Store in Salmo before moving to Vancouver to attend hairdressing school. She returned to Salmo before finishing the course to be with the love of her life, Rowat (Mac) Halifax, whom she met in 1947. They married September 13, 1952 in Fruitvale and moved into the family home built by Mac and his father. In 1979, Mom went to work at the Pastry Shop in Trail and later at Boots Drug Store in the Waneta Plaza. She was a remarkable woman. Everyone who knew her loved her. She was honest, trustworthy, respectful, loving, caring and a true friend. The front door was always open to friends and family. She believed in the Serenity Prayer and lived by the Golden Rule. Her greatest source of pride and joy was her family she loved us deeply. Together, she and dad were blessed with four wonderful children, nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren (soon to be ten in March). She cherished being a mother and a nana. She was a loving, gentle, patient and kind mother and nana; we all loved her very much. Even her grandchildren’s friends were proud to call her “Nana”. She was so very proud of her children and grandchildren and bragged about them to everyone she spoke with! She enjoyed many a camping trip with the kids and grandkids at Davis Creek in Lardeau, BC on Kootenay Lake. In later years, she enjoyed sitting on the deck or lawn swing with Mac to enjoy their flowers, fish pond, and watch the hummingbirds, chickadees and other birds that flocked to the feeders. She adored hummingbirds and passed that love of the “hummers” on to us all. Joan was preceded in death by her parents Elvin and Patsy Kraft, brothers Lawrence and Blaine Kraft, and grandson Ryan Halifax. Joan is survived by her husband of 60 years Mac Halifax; her children:

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation at http://www.bcchf.ca/donate/ or the BC Cancer Foundation at http://bccancerfoundation. com/ways-donate/gift-memory As per Mom’s wishes, there will be no funeral service. Cremation has taken place. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca The family wishes to thank Dr. Phillips for the gentle care given to mom over the years and the staff at Columbia View Lodge for mom’s care these past two months. I AM WITH YOU STILL I give you this one thought to keep I am with you still – do not weep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone – I am with you still – in each new dawn. GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED God saw you getting tired. When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you and whispered “Come to Me”. In tears we saw you sinking. We watched you fade away. Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully from pain, We could not wish you back to suffer so again. So keep your arms around her Lord and give her special care, Make up for all she suffered and all that seemed unfair. Rest in Peace Mom/Nana – we love and miss you but you will live on in all of us.

MISS UNIVERSE
American claims pageant title THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LAS VEGAS - A 20-yearold Boston University sophomore and a self-described “cellist-nerd” brought the Miss Universe crown back to the United States for the first time in more than a decade when she won Wednesday. Olivia Culpo beat out 88 other beauty queens from six continents at the Planet Hollywood casino on the Las Vegas Strip to take the title from outgoing champion Leila Lopes of Angola. Culpo wore a tight navy blue mini-dress with a sequined bodice as she walked on stage for the competition’s opening number. Later in the night, she strutted in a purple and blue bikini, and donned a wintery red velvet gown with a plunging neckline.

Miss USA, Olivia Culpo, waves to the crowd after being crowned Miss Universe Wednesday. Culpo’s coronation ends a long losing spell for the U.S. in the competition coowned by Donald Trump and NBC. An American had not won the Miss Universe title since Brook Lee won in 1997. No one seemed more surprised than Culpo’s family,
who “looked at her like she had three heads” when told them she was entering the Miss Rhode Island contest last year, her father Peter recalled. “We didn’t know a thing about pageants,” he said. She won that contest in a rented $20 dress with a hole in it and then began working out, dieting, and studying current events on flashcards to compete for the Miss USA crown. Culpo was good enough during preliminary Miss Universe contests to be chosen as one of 16 semifinalists who moved on to compete in the main show. She won over the judges even after tripping slightly during the evening gown competition. Telecasters pointed it out but also noted her poised recovery.

Five fashionable trends to try out in 2013
THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO Sweats? Sweaters? Suits? Or T-shirts and jeans? Comb through your closet and undoubtedly clues will emerge of which well-worn items stacked in multiples may rank among your fashionable favourites. A go-to ensemble is not unlike having a stylish daily uniform which offers a sense of comfort and familiarity to the wearer. But if it’s on your New Year’s to-do list to shake up your style or you’re merely looking to accentuate a triedand-true look, you’re in luck: the range of ripped-from-the-runway options is extensive. Yet for some, the prospect of sifting through a sea of apparel and accessory offerings on store shelves may seem a bit daunting. Well, fear not, fashionistas. Barbara Atkin, vice-president of fashion direction
for Holt Renfrew, fashion and media maven Jeanne Beker, LouLou editor-in-chief Julia Cyboran and Hello! Canada fashion and beauty editor Julia Seidl share their suggestions of five fashionable trends worthy of trying in 2013. 1. The tunic. Whether worn with sleeves or without, the loose-fitting garment was featured prominently on runways at home and abroad, perhaps most notably in Milan among the colourful, luxe looks unveiled from Italian fashion house Gucci. 2. Transparency. See-through accessories give a whole meaning to the phrase “barely there.” But for those concerned about their valuables being visible within a transparent bag, purchase different prints from the fabric store to line the interior. Individuals could also consider placing a small fabric or drawstring bag within the
Year in REview
tote or carry-all to discreetly house the contents inside, she adds. 3. Headwear. While the young New York socialites of “Gossip Girl” may be heading off the airwaves, fashion fans can still channel their inner Blair Waldorf by sporting a style popularized by the teen soap: headbands. For those on the hunt for a new topper or looking to try their hand, er, head,
at sporting a hat, the fedora may be just the ticket. 4. Peplum. It’s prime time to get ruffled. Expect to see plenty more peplum in 2013, as the ruffle or short overskirt which attaches to the waistlines of garments is set to make an even bigger sartorial splash in the new year. “Peplum has been dominant now for the last few runway seasons and it’s not going
away,” says Cyboran. “We saw it again on the spring 2013 runways and it’s something that has finally translated to the market. So we’re seeing them everywhere and we’ve become comfortable with that silhouette - and it’s a silhouette that can really flatter.” The peplum can add a touch of feminine appeal to a silhouette by cinching at the waist, she noted. 5. Go bold. The
movement towards embracing richer shades in the wardrobe which was prominent in 2012 will continue in earnest in the new year in an unexpected way: leather. While black and brown standard in leather looks, new collections featured vibrant shades like red and mustard, noted Seidl. For those seeking something similarly striking, Beker sug-
gests opting for a bold or graphic piece to add pop to pre-existing ensembles. “I think those are the kind of things that can give a lift to your whole wardrobe that is comprised mostly of little black dresses,” she said. “If you have just the right scarf, for example, with a big graphic black and white check, that could sort of elevate it to a whole other level.”
St. Michael’s Catholic School recently hosted their second annual Giving
Tree Gala Event fund raiser with over 180 community members in attendance. The traditional Italian dinner was catered by the Riverbelle, with dance music by Renegade and a Silent Auction. The school is deeply touched by the support they received from the community and greater Trail areas through corporate and individual sponsorship. It was a wonderful evening with all proceeds raised going towards the Student Experience Fund and the purchase of Smart Boards for the classrooms. St. Michael’s school is an Independent School operated by the Nelson Diocese and, as proven the night of the Gala, a staple of the history and legacy of Trail. We, as a staff, are thankful to the many former students and all other community members in attendance for their much valued and wholly appreciated support as we look forward to the event once again for next year. Thank You to our Supporters:

John the Baptist John the Baptist - by all accounts a wild eyed, camel-haired, fire-breathing, proclaimer of the word - is most well known for the words he reserves to those who came to hear him preach. Coming to cleanse themselves in the waters once crossed by their ancestors, on the completion of the journey from Egypt through wilderness. Coming to lose themselves in the revival of the Spirit energized by the reforming preacher famously living on locusts and honey, while calling for repentance and true contrition. Some among them were the brunt of his ire, bearing the marks of his verbal lashing. “You brood of vipers,” he says,

“who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” John, doesn’t think much of those who came to be entertained, to take a dip in the Jordan, to pick up a story to share with the folks back home, to lose themselves in the ecstatic fervour of a reformation, revivalist, tent-meeting, only to shudder back into the same skins, the same roles, the same life consumed by consumption. John expected, called for, and demanded change. ‘Rest not upon your laurels, or those of your ancestors. Don’t tell me what you did yesterday, or plan to do tomorrow. How do you treat your neighbours on this day? How do you make the world a fairer place?’ Those who heard him thought he might be the messiah. The one promised to lead them

out of ignominy, and back into their rightful ascendancy. John denies it. Tells them one will come after him who will baptize them with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Who will burn the chaff from the wheat with an unquenchable flame. And what, I thought, would that be like? To be rid of chaff, to be caught up in the unquenchable flame of transcendence? To be so upswept and grounded that ones entire life might be held in the warm loving glow of it. To be one, as Paul wrote to the Philippians, one so full of joy in lived transcendence that everywhere one is known for gentleness. What would that be like? If we spent as much time helping our children find their reason for transcendence as we do trying to shape them into beings that might be selected for a place in the economic system.

Vancouver, or those who scatter around our towns, under bridges, in rooming houses, surfing couches, populating food bank lines. Bullied and bullies alike. Amanda Todd and her tormentors, seeking some assurance, some sense of relevance, some place of meaning in the light of the day-to-day that does not rely upon the wealth of billions, squandered at the clay feet of stone-hearted idols. Idols demanding every obeisance, every sacrifice. Emptying lives and hearts, and stealing joy. What would it be like, if we forgot our egos and found ourselves? If we turned our hopes and dreams and loves and cares out upon a world that saw us as, suddenly ‘gentle’ and desired to have more of that inner peaceful presence that we had become? Would young women and men continue to see themselves as empty, unloved, unloving, unloveable? Would they end their lives and the lives of others in rage and grief and sorrow and longing? If we knew transcendence in our own hearts and minds, bodies and souls, would they?

Tuning into the sacred
I
t was hard not to be tuned into the possibility that Kate might be pregnant. The tabloids had been speculating for weeks. Speculation came to an end when the Duchess of Cambridge required medical attention for acute morning sickness. At that point, Prince William’s office had little choice but to announce the pregnancy, even though the royal couple may have preferred to keep the pregnancy quiet. Reaction to the announcement came quickly as people tweeted their congratulations, which ranged from the predictable to the euphoric. louise The more euphoric statements described the pregnancy as Everyday Theology a “global phenomenon” and as the “good news that everyone has been waiting for.” There were predictions: “this baby will secure the future of the monarchy for decades” and “this baby will be the most famous child in modern history.” There were expectations of universal joy: “this baby will bring joy to many around the world.” The reaction to this highly public pregnancy makes me think of another pregnancy. It was a pregnancy that did not generate widespread excitement, although it had certain notoriety. A young Jewish girl had returned from a visit to her cousin and she was obviously pregnant. The news spread quickly. While he felt betrayed, her betrothed kept his cards close to his heart as he pondered his next step. Like everyone else in the village, he wondered how this could have happened. Who was the father? The rumor mill was working overtime. Instead of congratulations, there was innuendo and criticism. No one was waiting for this baby to secure the future of a nation. No one expected this baby to be a global phenomenon. In their view, this pregnancy was not good news. The people were wrong. This baby was good news. This baby, Jesus of Nazareth, was sacred; he was the expression of the presence of God among us. That long ago pregnancy teaches us something about recognizing the sacred in our midst. The sacred manifests itself in subtle ways. Like a woman who has yet to discover that she is pregnant, we may be unaware that we carry the sacred within. Like the critics of Mary, we may be unaware that the sacred is about to enter our experience. We are not tuned in. In the birth of the Christ child, we have a beautiful image of the sacred as immanent and as transcendent. In Mary’s tender caress of her son as he nurses at her breast, we have an image of the human soul responding to the touch of God. In the tiny and dependent Christ child, we sense that the sacred is vulnerable and susceptible to neglect. As loving parents care for their child, we must nurture the sacred in our lives. When we nurture the sacred, we respond to God’s invitation. God asks us to become pregnant with the possibility of our own transformation. As an unborn baby develops in the silence and darkness of the womb, our inner transformation occurs invisible to the eye, until, little by little, we give birth to the love and the joy manifested in that first Christmas, when a young Jewish mother wrapped her babe in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” ”Dirty Harry“ and ”A League of Their Own“ will be preserved for their enduring significance in American culture at by the Library of Congress, along with ”A Christmas Story“ and some pioneering sports movies. They are among 25 selections the library is inducting Wednesday into the National Film Registry. Congress created the program in 1989 to preserve films for their cultural or historical significance. The latest additions bring the registry to 600 films. The newest film chosen for preservation is 1999’s “The Matrix,” noted for its state-ofthe-art special effects and computer-generated animation with a style that drew on Hong Kong action films and Japanese anime to change science fiction filmmaking, curators noted.

Trail tradition carries on
Throughout the final days of 2012, the Trail Daily Times will look back at some of the sporting highlights, in word and pictures, for the calendar year. Each day will cover a glimpse of a four-month span beginning with January to April. From the ice to the ring, from the bowling lanes to the slopes, Greater Trail athletes continued the rich tradition of excellence at competitions and events across the globe. The winter of 2012 opened with Rossland skier Sally Steeves’ and McKenzie Flood’s
golden runs at the Junior Canadian Open Freeskiing Championship, and Black Jack’s Geoffrey Richards being named to the Canadian Junior World Championship team. It ended in April with the Beaver Valley Nitehawks winning the KIJHL championship, but falling short at the Cyclone Taylor Cup, while Trail native Travis St. Denis and the Penticton Vees skated to a Doyle Cup victory and a trip to the RBC Cup for the Canadian junior championship.

Year in Review
Winter highlights abound
FROM PAGE 15 In between were many impressive performances and accomplishments such as sit-skier Kimberley Joines overall runnerup win in the Wold Cup Giant Slalom, MMA fighter and number three world ranked Morgan-River Jones TKO of Jade DeHaas at AM Ford’s final Fight Night, the unprecedented number of Greater Trail volunteers who received the Community Sport Hero Award, silver and bronze medals at the provincials for highschool curlers and Glenmerry bowlers, Fruitvale’s Chris Kissock and Team Canada entered into the
Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and many, many more. It also brought about some tough endings that saw Pride Gym’s Glen Kalesniko bid farewell to Fight Night at the Cominco Arena, the four-year run of Chad Besplug also came to a crashing halt at April’s Bull-a-Rama, and the Beaver Valley Nitehawks quest for the Cyclone Taylor Cup came to an abrupt end in Abbotsford. Still with each ending comes a new beginning, and let us hope that 2013 brings as much success for Greater Trail athletes, organizers, and volunteers as its predecessor.
A few final chestnuts for 2012 Nitehawks’ dynamic duo delivers Well, assuming the world continues to exist after the most recent Mayan calendar runs out today, there are good things coming. The days will DAVE begin getting longer, always a good thing and particularly good for right Sports ‘n’ Things now, after a week in which almost a meter of snow has fallen on our yard. It will give us more and more light by which to clear sidewalks, driveways, doorways and roofs, and drive our poorly maintained roads. The world junior hockey championship, contested mostly by very good young players who play with pride and fire and only tangentially for money or the promise of it, is coming right up. The local junior B division is once again the strongest and most entertaining in the KIJHL and the Nitehawks have rebounded from a rough stretch to re-emerge as contenders for the division title. They still have some seriously important games to play before the new year arrives, including a back-to-back with the also hot Castlegar Rebels, then a very favourable January schedule, so we can expect their standings surge to continue. The Smoke Eaters have a long break during which much of the wear and tear of playing the most games of any BCHL team can be repaired they are kids, after all - and perhaps gain a little consistency in their play.
Thompson
During the break one hopes they all receive alarm clocks as gifts, or gift cards with which such clocks can be acquired. One also hopes they can learn to set those clocks to give a shrill warning at game time, just reminding them when they need to start playing. Far too often the Smokies don’t quite show up until well after the puck is first put into play, and after the opposing team has gotten a jump. Nice comebacks are fun for fans, but frontrunning to good finishes is entertaining, too, and Trail needs to string some regulation time wins together to have any chance of a playoff spot. The Smokies have a lot of almost must-win division tilts in January and being ready to play from the first minute is going to be a precondition for success. It is Christmas time, whatever you celebrate, and the world has become beautiful, if treacherous. I hope everybody out there has reasons to enjoy the season and anticipate hopefully a new year. Be kind, and careful, out there - and come out strong for 2013. Merry Christmas.

Spokane’s leading goal scorer Dylan Tappe would get back-to-back markers for the Braves but the final result was never in doubt as Holland added an empty netter to ice it 7-3.

Charities share in the spirit of Boxing Day Classic By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
Like the ghost of Christmas past, the spirit of the Rossland Warriors hockey team will return to
the Rossland Arena Wednesday for its annual Boxing Day Classic. The Classic has raised about $16,000 for local chairites the
past two years thanks to supporters such as Barrett Jackman who has donated signed St. Louis Blues jerseys and a number of hockey sticks. This year, KidSport Trail gave the Classic organizers a signed Shea Weber Nashville Predator jersey that the NHL team’s scout Glen Sanders provided for KidSport last year. “We thought how are we going to do this thing (the jer-
sey) some justice,” said Gord Menelaws, KidSport director. “So we talked about it at our meeting, and we thought what better way to give back to the Boxing Day Classic then to donate it to them, let them raffle it off at their event and see what they can raise.” The Classic was the first organization to support KidSport when it came to Trail two years ago, and the

reciprocal gesture will only benefit both parties. About 80 players lace up the skates and are divided into teams, that play a roundrobin and a playoff to crown the eventual Classic champs. An entry fee of $25 helps cover costs, and guarantees at least two games and as many as five depending on results. “It started off with just a couple teams,

and a bunch of guys having fun, but it’s blossomed into quite the event now,” said Classic organizer Gord Aiken. A whole community has pitched in to make the annual Boxing Day fundraiser a success, and they encourage residents to come and help support the worthy cause. Volunteers will be on hand with food, refreshments, merchandise, a 50/50 draw, and a raffle table rife with prizes courtesy of local businesses. “We always encourage everyone to come out and watch and support the raffle, and all the profits from everything go to charity,” said Aiken. “It’s a great place to come and hang out with friends and meet, see people you haven’t seen over the
Christmas holidays.” This year’s proceeds go again to the Canadian Cancer Society and Trail KidSport, and the Classic will also provide $500 scholarships to Rossland Secondary and J. L. Crowe Secondary Schools. Jackman played in the Classic during the last NHL lockout in 2005, but any chance of him returning for this one might be slim says Aiken. “We’ve had all kinds of people over the years, people that can really play hockey, and some that can barely skate,” he added. “It turns out to be pretty decent hockey . . . but it would be nice to see Barrett out there.” The puck drops at 8 a.m. with the final usually going around 6 p.m. at the Rossland Arena.

Q
Fire Safety during the Holidays
A
Decorating homes and businesses is a long standing tradition around the holiday season. Unfortunately, these same decorations may increase your chances of fire. Based on data from the National Fire Protection Association, an estimated 240 home fires involving Christmas trees and another 150 home fires involving holiday lights and other decorative lighting occur each year. By following a few simple fire safety tips you can keep electric lights, extension cords and power bars, candles, and the ever popular Christmas tree from creating tragedy. Christmas Trees: Keep the tree watered if it’s a natural tree. Select fresh trees. Check by bouncing the tree trunk on the ground. If needles fall off the tree, it is probably old and a potential fire hazard. Holiday Lights & Electrical: Maintain and inspect your lights for frayed wires, bare spots, broken or cracked sockets, excessive kinking or wear before using. Do not overload electrical sockets or power bars. Look for CSA labeling on products which mean they have been held up to Canadian Standards Assoc testing. Use timers when possible to limit your usage of lights. Candle Care : Never leave a burning candle Unattended. Consider using battery operated flameless candles. If you do light candles make sure they are in stable holders and place them where they cannot be easily knocked down. Never put lit candles on a Christmas Tree. Lastly Smoke Detectors save lives. Please ensure you have some in your house and remember to change the batteries. It is a good idea to change them semi-annually. E.G. Daylight Savings is a good time. From the staff of all RHC Insurance offices we wish you a Happy Holiday Season and Best Wishes for 2013!

Politicians complain about details in bin Laden movie THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON - Three senators have written to the head of Sony Pictures Entertainment criticizing the movie “Zero Dark Thirty” as “grossly inaccurate and misleading” in its suggestion that torture produced the tip that led to Osama bin Laden. The three members of the Senate Intelligence committee - Dianne Feinstein, Carl Levin and John McCain - told the president and CEO of Sony, Michael Lynton, that he has an obligation to say that torture in the hunt for bin Laden was fiction and not based on fact. The lawmakers said the CIA detainee who provided significant information about bin Laden did so before any harsh interrogation.

Idle No More rally coming to Cranbrook today BY BARRY COULTER
Cranbrook Townsman
First Nations activists are taking part in a week of rallies across the country, as a grassroots movement known as Idle No More organizes to protest Conservative government legislation. Supporters say they are upset about the effects of the Harper government’s policies on aboriginal communities. They want First Nations to be recognized as sovereign stakeholders in decisions affecting the country’s land and resources. The local group, Idle No More Cranbrook, has a rally planned in front of MP David Wilks’ office Friday, Dec. 21, at 1 p.m. “Idle No More Cranbrook will be unified and standing together for Indigenous Sovereignty,” said Lisa Luscumbe, main
local organizers and Facebook page manager. “We would like to extend an invitation to all Canadians, all Indigenous People and anyone who would like to support this movement by attending this event because the issues we are concerned about don’t just affect Aboriginal people across Canada but all Canadians.” Events are being held across the country this week, and the movement has been gathering momentum, thanks to a widespread online presence. ‘’There are many examples of other countries moving towards sustainability, and we must demand sustainable development as well,’’ says a manifesto published on the group’s website, idlenomore.com. ‘’We believe in healthy, just, equitable and sustainable com-
munities and have a vision and plan of how to build them.’’ Thousands have used the #idlenomore hashtag on Twitter to debate issues and spread information about upcoming protests. Luscombe said that she, Morgana Eugene and Jason Andrew — all members of the Ktunaxa Nation — started off by creating the Idle
No More Cranbrook (INMC) Facebook Page to create awareness in the Kootenay Region and to gather support for the Idle No More Movement to host a Rally in Cranbrook. “We started our INMC Facebook Page on December 12, 2012 and as of today we have 119 likes,” Luscombe said. “We are all volunteering our time to organize the rally in Cranbrook and we
are not experienced in rally organizing but we have the strength of our Indigenous Nations across North America supporting us and encouraging us. “We hope we have a good turn out at the rally and we hope the momentum grows in the KootenayColumbia region in support of the Idle No More Movement.” The movement is particularly critical
of the Government omnibus Bill C-45, which was passed by the Senate on Friday, Dec. 14. The movement is also concerned with several other bills which have not been passed, which Idle No More says threatens resources and environmental protection laws. To learn more about these concerns and the “Idle No More”

nationwide Indigenous Movement go to their website: www.idlenomore.com. “You don’t need to be an elected leader or have an important title to make a difference ,” Luscombe said. “This Indigenous Movement is showing that united together we stand strong together as one. “The Idle No More Movement is one nation, one voice and one fire.”

NELSON
Two rescued from Kootenay Lake THE NELSON STAR Search crews rescued two Cranbrook men whose boat overturned at Pilot Bay last Saturday evening. Nelson Search and Rescue manager Craig Gutwald didn’t know the exact circumstances that led to the craft capsizing but said the two 25-year-olds were found on shore. They were cold and wet, but otherwise all right, and were released after being checked out by BC Ambulance attendants. “They were very fortunate to have a witness in another boat who saw it happen,” Gutwald says. “He saw them make it to shore with their dog but wasn’t able to actually help them because of rough water.” The witness lost sight of the men in the darkness — they didn’t have flashlights and couldn’t start a fire — but he yelled at them to look for a path that would come around to Sawmill Bay. He then called RCMP, who in turn tried to dispatch Creston Search and Rescue, but no one was available. Gutwald says Nelson Search and Rescue was called at about 6:50 p.m. They sent a rescue boat and crew along with a ground team that set up at the Balfour ferry terminal. “We didn’t know if they were trying to walk through the darkness or stay by the water,” Gutwald says. “One issue I was grappling with was were these locals who lived on the Crawford Bay side and just went home?” Nine searchers were involved from Nelson. People were also called in from Castlegar, Kaslo, South Columbia, Cranbrook and Kimberley, but were turned around once the boat crew located the men at about 9:30 p.m. Gutwald says no one reported the men missing. “It’s really critical that people leave some sort of trip plan, advising where they’re going and when they’re expected back,” he says.

High school is the time to learn to balance life Mailbox

or telling your friends you can’t go out on Saturday because you have to finish a paper. This is a good time to recognize that you can’t do everything, so you need to prioritize. Schoolwork comes first. Talk to your parents or the school counselor about the rest. We are confident that you’ll figure it out. Dear Annie: Although my husband and I have been married for 13 years, we only recently bought our first home. We previously lived in a small apartment. We are planning to have our first housewarming party once we have fully unpacked
Whenever that complaint pops up, everyone makes suggestions, usually for the woman to seek medical attention. Well, I’ve done that. Every male doctor I asked just laughed and suggested that maybe a “boyfriend” could turn me on. It is demeaning. I love my husband and have no intention of cheating. The problem is, no male anywhere “turns me on.” The female doctors I saw tested my hormones, suggested upping my testosterone (which didn’t help), or shrugged and said I’d have to wait for a female Viagra. Nothing helps the frustrated women who wish we could get back our desire. It’s time someone found a solution for us, and then we’d feel sexy enough to entice our men so they wouldn’t look for pills or affairs. I know I’m not alone. That doesn’t solve the problem, but it helps
to know many of us are in the same boat. -- Ormond Beach, Fla. Dear Ormond Beach: We are surprised that any doctor would brush off your complaint with such frivolity. Perhaps some doctors are reluctant
to discuss women’s sexual issues, but lack of libido is a serious problem for many women, and they deserve a doctor who not only understands the issue, but is willing to treat it appropriately. Of course, there is
as yet no miracle drug that will bring back your libido, although we suspect researchers are hard at work on it. It’s too lucrative a market to ignore. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once.

and the house is ready for company. Would it be OK to register for things we’d like to have and include the information in our invitations? Or is it best to keep a “private” registration and inform only those who ask what we need? -Can’t Wait To Share New Home Dear Can’t Wait: Except for showers, it is never a good idea to put information about gift registries into an invitation. It says “buy me things” and that the gift is the point of the party, instead of focusing on the friendship. You may give suggestions to people who specifically ask you what you want, and if you have one or two close friends or family members, you can allow them to pass the word, as well. Dear Annie: I read another letter in your column regarding a woman’s lack of libido and the husband who found sex elsewhere.

Dear Annie: How can I deal with the demands of being a high school senior? I am overwhelmed. Between homework, my job, a social life, sports and family time, there are not enough hours in the day. All of these things are important to me, but I don’t know how to balance them. Please don’t suggest I give up any of them, because they are all dear to my heart. -- Distressed in Duanesburg Dear Distressed: No one expects you to enter high school knowing how to perfectly balance your life. This is when you are supposed to learn ways to do it, and there may be a great deal of trial and error in the process because you are juggling more responsibility. That’s OK. You don’t have to give these things up, but you may have to scale back. Perhaps one sport instead of two, fewer hours at your job

For Monday, Dec. 24, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) As you begin this week, make an effort to get in touch with your money scene and your assets in general. Information is power, especially when it comes to what you own. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you luckier than all the other signs.

You need the cocooning of some privacy to be effective. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’ll enjoy the company of others today because someone likely will inspire you.

Friday, December 21, 2012 Trail Times
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) People in authority might be aware of some of the private details of your life today. Things look pretty positive. (Don’t sweat the small stuff.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Discussions about shared property, debt, taxes and who owns what or how much you owe will be quite positive today. You’re in the mood to clear up some of these fuzzy details. (Good!) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Be prepared to compromise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a great way to start off your week. You want to
be efficient, productive and effective in everything you do. Go, go, go! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A playful day. However, it’s useful for those of you need to express your creativity or work in the arts. Sports activities will go well, too.

Birthdate of: Howard Hughes, aviator/film producer; Stephanie Meyer, author; Ryan Seacrest, TV host/media producer. For Tuesday, Dec. 25, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a poor day to get uppity or lippy with authority figures. Definitely think before you speak, or things will go sideways in a New York minute! You have been warned. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Travel plans will be interrupted or delayed today. Similarly, plans related to higher education, medicine and the law likely will change or require rescheduling. Avoid discussing controversial subjects.

Ouch! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Partners or close friends are very touchy today. Tread
carefully. If pushed, they suddenly will demand more freedom and independence. (Or perhaps you feel this way?) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Computer crashes, power outages, fire drills, staff shortages and canceled appointments are just some reasons your routine will change suddenly at work today. Co-workers are rebellious. (Yikes!) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Parents take note: This is an accident-prone day for your children. Be very vigilant. This is also a rocky day for romance. Go slowly. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Small appliances might break down today, or minor breakages could occur. Domestic arguments might break out. Be patient! Be tolerant and forgiving of others. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This definitely is an accident-prone day for your sign. Slow down, and take it easy. Allow extra time so that you have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) If shopping today, keep your receipts. Count your change. Protect your possessions and your money against loss or theft. Things are very unpredictable today!

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might be surprised during any kind of group gathering today. During a class, a meeting or a casual get-together, someone will say or do something that is quite unexpected. You also might meet a real character today. YOU BORN TODAY You’re adventurous! You often push the boundaries around you to seek thrills or attain accomplishments that are beyond what others expect. You go for the gold! Naturally, you’re a risk-taker.

musician.
