More than 1800 BC Hydro customers in Kimberley and Marysville were without power for four hours on Wednesday evening.

Diane Tammen from BC Hydro says that 1873 customers in all were without power after a motor vehicle accident between Kimberley and Marysville Wednesday evening. “A motor vehicle hit a power pole,� she said.

For the past seven years, the Kimberley Seniors Project Society (formerly the Kimberley Lions Project Society) has been seeking funding for a new affordable housing project.

The Society owns three lots on Church Avenue, and also operates the Lions Manor in that area. Rents at the Lions Manor are some of the lowest in Kimberley. In the past five years, the Society has spent about $40,000 on upgrades to Lions Manor.

But even while those upgrades were taking place, the three Pioneer Lodges, also operated by the Society, were slowly falling into disrepair.

Over the past few years, all of them have been closed for health and safety reasons. Expenses had also been climbing on the lodges.

The Society has put several proposals forward to BC Housing for approval in the past seven years, but have been unable to obtain full funding yet.

BC Housing did approve $70,000, which allowed the Society to do a survey, geotechnical and environmental studies and hire an architect.

They are continuing to pursue both federal and provincial funding for a new housing complex for seniors (55 plus), persons with disabilities and persons and families in need.

The Society has approached City Council for support, including letters of support, financial assistance if any were available, or in kind assistance.

They are also looking for City help in lobbying government for funding.

The next funding window begins in March 2013.

JCI Kootenay (Junior Chambers Internation) dropped off their biggest donation to the food bank yet, after the 42nd annual Santa Claus Parade.

The organization plans the parade every year, with entry by donation to the food bank. This year they were able to hand over $3,239 to the food bank. Pictured is Jackie Jensen accepting the cheque on behalf of the food bank from Parade Chair Lindsey Di Marcello.

The Salvation Army of volunteers are keeping up the Christmas cheer as the charity heads into the final days before Christmas.

Cpt. Kirk Green said Cranbrook has been generous as always, and the Salvation Army is $30,000 away from their $160,000 goal this Christmas.

“The season’s been very, very good,” he said. “The people in Cranbrook and area have been quite generous.”

There have been too many contributions to

the Salvation Army to list, but Kirk said some memorable ones this year have been the Chamber Turkey Drive and as always, the Christmas Kettles.

Donations are still happily accepted as they hope to top up their fund to $160,000 to make sure all Cranbrook residents have a happy holiday season.

“We have every confidence that the citizens will be every bit as generous as they’ve always been,” Kirk said.

Demand has been a bit different this year, with many applications but some not actually using the service in the end.

On Tuesday, December 18, Kirk said they had 20 new applications, which points to a possible upward trend in Salvation Army usage.

Volunteers are always needed, even in the last days heading into Christmas. Kirk said the Salvation Army has a dedicated team of 100 volunteers who are out collecting funds through the Christmas Kettles and packing and handing out hampers.

There are still a few open kettle shifts before Christmas for anyone looking to do a little community service.

“We’re always looking for volunteers, even at this late date,” Kirk said.

Pick up this year is December 21. Kirk said this year they have shifted operations from their main building to a new one, where the hampers will be picked up this year. It was decided with all the other big projects underway by the Salvation Army such as the shelter, they needed a new space to greet the public and do the hamper work. They will now be operating out of 216 Slater Rd. Kirk said the mood as always at the Salvation Army is jolly and happy as the volunteers put the finishing touches on the Christmas hampers.

“We’re used to this, the mood’s good.”

Driving safe for the holidays and beyond Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

Mainroad East Kootenay is out in force on the region’s road, and they are encouraging motorists to take care this holiday season.

Jim Conley, general manager for Mainroad East Kootenay Contracting, said weather can be unpredictable in the Kootenays, and drivers need to be prepared just like the staff at Mainroad are.

“We know the importance of having our drivers and equipment ready because in a couple of hours we can go from clear sky to blizzard in the East Kootenays,” Conley said. “We’re working with the public to make sure everybody gets home safe; we treat these roads as ours because we know they’re yours.”

Mainroad is encouraging riders to check out www.drivebc.ca before they head out this season. The website has current driving conditions and weather forecasts. It even has webcams of popular routes that can help better inform you before heading out.

Mainroad is busy all over the East Kootenay this week. Bulletin reader Larry Tooze caught a snowplow in action.

Conley said safety is key for their drivers when they’re out clearing roads. He encourages drivers to give them a wide birth and being patient.

“Help our crews by maintaining a safe following distance when

Be prepared for power outage From Page 1 “Our crews were called out and when they arrived they had to do some switch-over work so they could work safely. All the required repairs were completed that night.

The power went off just after 6:30 p.m. for all customers on the Marysville grid, which includes parts of Kimberley and Marysville.

It went back on just before 11 p.m.

Tammen says that winter outages can last longer as they take longer to repair and everyone should be prepared.

“Always be prepared for an outage with a safety kit,” she said.

An emergency kit should contain essentials for 72 hours. Stock your emergency kit

with these essentials: Flashlights Extra batteries First aid kit Bottled water (2 litres per person per day) Supplies for people with special needs Copy of your preparedness plan Battery or crank operated clock and radio Corded telephone No n -p e r i s h a b l e, ready-to-eat foods Warm clothing and blankets Games, cards and books to keep everyone busy You may need additional supplies for lengthy outages.

Remember to pull out your emergency kit once a year and make sure it still fits the needs of your household. Replace batteries with fresh ones.

approaching highway maintenance vehicles,” he said. “When you attempt to pass, you put yourself, the truck operator, and the driving public at risk.”

Mainroad sends out a full complement of winter operators after

every snowfall, plus mechanical support for every shift until the job is done. The drivers have access to three different materials – winter sand, salt brine and salt – to make the roads safer, and they use them

based on the conditions at the time. The materials are stored throughout the region Mainroad services in nine different depots.

Mainroad has a 24hour hotline for reporting accidents, unsafe road conditions

and road kill by calling 1-800-665-4929. They encourage drivers to use it. The service area stretches from Brisco in the north, to Goatfel in the west, the Alberta border in the east and the U.S. border.

Fake Ktunaxa treaty maps circulating Ministry says maps have not been released Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

An anonymous person has distributed a number of fliers purporting to be a map of the proposed lands being offered to the Ktunaxa Nation under the ongoing Ktunaxa Kinbasket Treaty negotiations.

But the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation says they are fakes, as the province, federal government and the Ktunaxa Nation have not agreed to release any maps at this point in negotiations.

“Treaty settlement

lands have not been finalized at this stage,” confirmed Robin Platts, communication manager for the ministry. “It sounds like an individual that doesn’t represent any of the three parties appears to have drawn a map and mailed it out.”

The three stakeholders held a public meeting in October that was attended by about 50 people with Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski, the Ktunaxa Nation and two negotiators presenting. The public heard that 33,458 hectares of land has been offered to the First Nation and that after 20 years of talks, the three parties are close to signing an Agreement in Princi-

pal.

The public was shown a series of maps at the meeting showing the land proposed to come under Ktunaxa governance, but they were not released to the public or media.

Platts said this is not unusual at this stage in treaty negotiations and some information will remain confidential until there are more concrete details to deliver to the public.

“The Agreement in Principal is under development,” he said. “A certain amount of the process is going to be confidential.”

The circulating maps are not complete, and Platts isn’t sure how they were produced.

“It looks like someone drew it from memory,” he said.

While Platts did not see a copy of the map, he did say it appears to suggest that the lands, should they be handed over to the Ktunaxa, would be inaccessible to recreational users.

He said that simply isn’t the case, but stressed that nothing is set in stone yet.

“These things are always a bit of an evolution,” he said.

Platts said the decision to not release the maps yet was something agreed upon by all three parties in the negotiations because the boundaries are not confirmed and are very far from being official.

Instead of relying on the crudely drawn map, Platts is encouraging anyone with concerns to contact any one of the three representative from the negotiations. At the public meeting in October, three points of contact were offered for anyone with questions. They are: Diane Gielis, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, 1-800-665-9320; Bill Armstrong, B.C. Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, 1-800-880-1022 and Garry Slonowski, Ktunaxa Kinbasket Treaty Council, 250919-2848.

RCMP wish Merry Christmas for all Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

It’s the most festive of seasons, and the RCMP are urging residents to be responsible as the celebrate the holidays.

Cpl. Shayne Parker of East Kootenay Traffic Services is reminding drivers to be safe this Christmas.

“With the Christmas season upon us, I would like to remind the citizens of the East Kootenays to plan their evenings and drive responsible,” he said in a recent release.

The message comes as the province celebrates a successful year of its new impaired driving program. On November 21, the province announced that an estimated 104 lives had been saved and incidents of impaired driving have dropped significantly.

The immediate Roadside Prohibition Program was introduced in September,

“The message that I would like to get across is very simple: if you drink any amount, don’t drive” Cpl. Shayne Parker 2010. Since then alcohol-related motor vehicle deaths have dropped to 62 a year – a 46 per cent decrease from the average of 114 over the previous five years. The provincial government set a goal in 2010 in honour of imparied driving victim Alexa Middleaer to reduce alcohol-related deaths by 35 per cent.

They were happy to report that new research suggests they have more than met that goal.

“The message that I

would like to get across is very simple: if you drink any amount, don’t drive,” Parker said.

The RCMP as usual around this season will be out on the roads ensuring the community has a safe and happy holiday.

“We are out there, and we will be looking for violators,” Parker said.

For those planning to throw a holiday party this year, Parker said it is the onus of the host to ensure all their guests are safe – even when they leave.

“You are civily responsible for the safety of the people you serve,” he said. “It is important that you are consious not to over serve and that you are able to provide them with options for a safe ride home.”

With that, Parker wishes the community a safe and very Merry Christmas.

LETTERS to the EDITOR Tribute to a Cranbrook nurse

It is with great sadness, but also honour, that I write this public address.

I miss my sister Theresa Sanche Dean’s cheerful, compassionate demeanor that made her a wonderful nurse throughout her career in Cranbrook, Castlegar, Terrace and Prince Rupert.

She was a great sister, daughter, mother, wife, family and community person.

Theresa (Terry) underwent serious surgeries in her youth to correct her spine, due to polio syndrome in the late 1950s. She was considered to be one of the first recipients of the Harrington Rod used to fuse the spine. Thus she is part of Canadian medical history. That surgery was done at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary.

Terry was a strong-willed determined lady of intellect, becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse. She lived a fabulous, happy family life and had a wonderful nursing career. She took her nurse’s training in the late 1970s at Selkirk College in Nelson.

In her passing, I am acknowledging family and friends to be part of a special charitable contribution in honour of Terry, set up at the Nelson Bank of Montreal. This account will also be accessible at the Cranbrook Bank of Montreal, to all family and family friends in the Cran-

brook/Kimberley area and in the Nelson/Castlegar area.

This special fund will be presented to a needy family with a child going through complicated surgery at the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary in July, 2013.

There will be an honorary plaque given to the surgeon’s team and board of directors at the hospital at that time.

Due to distant communications and waiting the legal set-up of the trust fund, set for late January, 2013, people wanting to submit a Christmas charitable donation for January may make a post-dated cheque payable to the Terry Sanche Dean Fund, which will be at BMO.

Outdoor Live Nativity As Christmas Day approaches, the spirit of Christmas grows stronger each day. With the mass choir concert, school concerts everywhere and events throughout the community.

One such event was a great success for the LDS church as they performed an outdoor live nativity on the 17th and 18th of December. There was two casts of children, youth and adults, and more than 15 crew members on board. They even had two donkeys, two sheep and a goat! It was

cold both nights, but many hearts were warmed with the story of Christ’s birth.

The music was powerful, the costumes were wonderful, and the actors were honored. One nine-year-old girl, who was a shepherd in Tuesday night’s performance, stated that she felt as though she was really there that night long ago.

It was an experience that will not soon be forgotten for anyone who was involved or attended. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints will carry on this nativity tradition for many years to come.

Hit & Run Humbug My 2007 Buick was subjected to a hitand-run on December 14, possibly in the rear parking lot at the Rec Plex, which ended up costing me $500 (deductable) for repairs through ICBC. Whoever hit my vehicle (which was unoccupied and parked at the time) must have known that they caused this damage, and that they intentionally left the scene of the incident To whoever was involved I say a humbug Christmas to you and yours.

Canadian world junior team loses MBSS basketball team exhibition game to Finland fundraising for season C ANADIAN PRESS

VANTAA, Finland— It was an early wakeup call for Canada’s world junior team.

Undisciplined and out of sorts, the Canadians dropped an exhibition game to Finland 3-2 on Thursday. Two of the Finnish goals were scored with a 5-on-3 power play during a game that saw Canada assessed nine minor penalties in total.

“I think the challenge for us obviously is coming together as a

team,’’ said Canadian coach Steve Spott. “It’s our first game. But ultimately I think discipline is the subplot here tonight, where we have to get used to the standard of officiating and deal with our discipline a lot smarter than we did tonight.’’

Miro Aaltonen scored the winning goal 7:16 into the third period. Markus Granlund and Ville Jarvelainen had the power-play markers earlier in the game.

“It’s our first game.

But ultimately I think our discipline is the subplot here tonight, where we have to get used to the standard of officiating and deal with our discipline a lot smarter than we did tonight.”

Steve Spott Mark Scheifele replied for Canada with goals 36 seconds apart in the second period while Malcom Subban finished with 19 saves.

Canada was outshot 22-15 overall and Spott expects to see a better offensive effort when his team faces Sweden in another exhibition game on Saturday.

“I think we’ve got to create more offence, but that comes from staying out of the penalty box,’’ he said. “That to me is going to be our challenge here. We turned over too many pucks, took penalties

and that took away from our 5-on-5 ability to create offence.’’

Canada played without forward Jonathan Huberdeau, who served the final game of a four-game suspension for abusing an official in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

The team also lost forward Brett Ritchie to an upper-body injury after an awkward collision with an opponent midway through the game. He was held out as a precaution and the injury isn’t considered serious.

After facing Sweden over the weekend, Canada will travel to Ufa, Russia for the world junior hockey championship. It plays its first game there on Dec. 26 against Germany.

“You want to make sure when you hit the 26th that your team is where you need it to be,’’ said Spott. “It’s a matter of getting better every day and learning what it’s like to play over here and the standard (of officiating) and the type of game that these teams play.’’

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Mount Baker senior boys basketball team is heading out to its second tournament of the season this weekend as part of an eight tournament schedule over the winter and spring.

All that travel—mostly to Alberta—adds up over a season, and the team has budgeted it out to roughly $18,000 to cover costs that include transportation and bus driver, hotel rooms and tournament entry fees.

Thats a serious chunk of change and the boys (not to mention parents) are hoping to cut down on the expense with some fundraising ventures over the season.

“When the kids are younger and they just play in the Kootenays, it’s not near as crazy, but as soon as they start having to go out of the area—other options is to go to the Okanagan, which is even further away,” said team manager Pearl Singer.

First up on the docket is a training camp for some younger students

spanning Grade 7 to Grade 9 in the New Year on Jan. 4.

Running all day from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Wild will be on hand, along with their coach, to run drills and work with young basketball proteges.

Cost is $35 a player.

“We thought Grade 7 to 9 was a good age because basketball is just going to be starting in January and a lot of them haven’t been practicing or doing much towards it, so it’d be a good warm-up,” said Singer.

After that, the team has kicked around some other ideas and are looking at organizing an alumni game which will pit former Mount Baker basketball players— men and women— against their current counterparts.

“The girls and the boys are playing the

alumni—anybody who’s played on a senior team can come play, so it’s just a fun night,” said Singer.

That event will be held at the Mount Baker gym on Wednesday, Jan. 23, with the girls starting at 6 p.m. and followed by the boys two hours later.

There will be a concession and a free-throw competition in between games.

Other initiatives include silent auctions and a high school dance on Valentine’s Day in February.

The team is also turning to the business community, according to Singer.

“We’re going to different businesses or organizations that the boys deal with, or their parents deal with and asking if they want to sponsor the team,” Singer said. “Some of those business have given us items, which we are using for silent auctions.”

Anyone interested in signing up to the Mount Baker camp on Jan. 4 can call Singer at 250426-7410.

NHL lockout has chilling effect on businesses John Wawrow Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Most everywhere Lou Billittier turns these days, the Buffalo restaurateur is reminded of the NHL lockout, and its impact on his blue-collar, sports-mad town where Dominik Hasek became a star and the French Connection is still revered.

Billittier misses the familiar faces of Sabres players having their traditional game-day lunch at his restaurant, Chef’s. He recalled a recent conversation he had with his seafood supplier, who’s struggling because he also provides salmon and chicken wings to the Sabres arena, the First Niagara Center.

And then there are the arena’s idled, parttime employees who stop in looking for work.

With his own business down 15 per cent, Billittier can only turn them away because he’s concerned whether there’s enough work for his staff.

“It’s amazing the trickle-down effect,’’ Billittier said, standing in his lobby, not far from Chef’s “The French Connection’’ room, honouring the famed former Sabres line of Gilbert Perreault, Rene

Robert and Rick Martin.

“It bothers me, not only because we’re down, but it affects everything.

Our community outreach, we can’t donate to the people we normally donate to. It’s brutal.’’

“We are disappointed the NHL and NHLPA have not been able to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement.”

Ted Black From south Florida to Vancouver, Montreal to Anaheim, a wide array of businesses located in the NHL’s 30 markets have taken a significant hit because of the lockout, which is now in its fourth month and has wiped away 625 games. On Thursday, the league cancelled all games through Jan. 14.

Joe Kasel, owner of the Eagle Street Grille in St. Paul, Minn., last month wrote a letter expressing his concerns to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.

“I had to look 32 of 48 employees in the eyes and inform them that I no longer can afford to keep them on staff,’’

Kasel wrote. “The impact on our lives is immeasurable. One city’s devastation may not seem like a powerful incentive to end the lockout; but I know this is happening in other cities around the nation.’’

Chris Ray, manager of the Brewhouse Downtown in Nashville, said his establishment is losing an estimated $5,000 for every cancelled Predators’ home game. That’s already a $90,000 hit, given 18 Predators’ home games have been wiped out.

It’s no different at Wayne Gretzky’s sports bar in Toronto, where much of the Great One’s memorabilia is on display.

“Yes, it’s been very slow,’’ said a bartender, who wouldn’t give her name. “I’m scared about January.’’

The Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto is feeling the pinch. Hall of Fame spokeswoman Kelly Masse said they’ve made “adjustments’’ to staff because gate and retail revenues are down significantly.

And so’s Hockeytown, aka, Detroit.

The downtown three-level Hockeytown Cafe, operated by Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch, was nearly empty on Monday.

“If there’s not a show at the Fox, this is what it’s like in here,’’ bartender Molly Brown said, referring to the Fox Theatre next door. “We haven’t fired anyone, but everyone has had their days and hours cut because the Red Wings aren’t playing. We’re all suffering.’’

The effect goes beyond bars, restaurants and tourism.

In Chicago, Gunzo’s Hockey Headquarters, a four-store chain that sells hockey equipment and jerseys, is losing business.

“It’s been a huge impact. Huge, huge, huge.

People don’t see the games and it’s out of sight, out of mind,’’ owner Keith Jackson said. “It’s kind of a double-whammy for us.

We’re losing out on equipment sales and we’re losing out on the jerseys and licensed apparel sales.’’

With the Christmas shopping season nearly over, Jackson worries those are sales he’ll never get back even if the NHL resumes playing soon. Mid-January will be a critical time, since Bettman has said the league doesn’t want to play a season shorter than 48 games per team.

With an entire sea-

son wiped out in 200405, outsiders are wondering whether the two sides _ rich owners and well-paid players _ are indifferent to the effects their labour disputes create.

“People are disgusted,’’ said Tom Woolsey, owner of Andrews On the Corner in Detroit.

He estimates his business is down 75 per cent on nights the Red Wings are playing.

“It’s incomprehensible to me that after four or five prosperous years in the NHL, that they can’t figure out how to split $3.2 billion (in revenue),’’ Woolsey said.

It’s mind-boggling to John Heidinger, chairman of the Service Employees International Local 200 in Buffalo,

ARE, Sweden—Mikaela Shiffrin showed that the American ski team can live without Lindsey Vonn, at least for a little while.

In the first World Cup race since Vonn announced a break from the circuit, the 17-year-old Shiffrin picked up the slack quite successfully Thursday _ earning her first career victory by winning a night slalom ahead of Swedish home favourite Frida Hansdotter.

Shiffrin has been touted as the next American skiing star and showed why under the floodlights on Are’s Olympia course, putting down a perfect second run to finish with a combined time of 1 minute, 45.36 seconds.

“This is huge,’’ Shiffrin said. “I think the

best part besides the skiing was the ceremony. It made me cry a little bit when I heard the American anthem.’’

Shiffrin was second after the first run and was given quite a chal-

lenge by overall World Cup leader Tina Maze, who had a blazing second run to take a large lead just before the American was to ski.

But Shiffrin kept her composure in a run that

was even faster, setting a time that first-run leader Hansdotter couldn’t match.

Hansdotter was still ahead of the American at the first two intermediate times but wasn’t

NEW YORK _ The NHL is believed to be one step away from calling off another season.

The impact of another lost season would be high.

In Buffalo alone, the city’s tourism bureau, Visit Buffalo Niagara, estimates local hotels that host visiting NHL teams will lose between $850,000 and $1 million if there’s no season.

City transit is affected. Douglas Hartmayer, spokesman for the Niagara Frontier Transportations Authority, says up to 1,700 riders use Metro Rail to attend each Sabres home game.

Invasive fish fines will bite the wallet Tom Fletcher Black Press

Wanda Chow/Black Press

Snakehead fish released by persons unknown into Burnaby Lake was captured in June after the lake level was pumped down.

VICTORIA — Releasing a snakehead fish into B.C. waters could cost you up to $250,000.

The B.C. government has amended its controlled alien species regulation to impose steep fines for releasing invasive fish such as the snakehead, a Chinese import with a voracious appetite and the ability

to wiggle across land to get to new waterways.

A snakehead fish discovered in a pond in Burnaby Central Park in June forced environment ministry biologists to pump the lake level down so it could be captured. The toothy beasts were being imported and sold alive in Asian specialty food stores.

The new regulations also aim to stop the

“The impact of the snakehead and zebra mussel in other jurisdictions has been devastating to those local ecosystems,” Environment Minister Terry Lake said Thursday, announcing the latest changes.

The regulations also prohibit possession and breeding of identified high-risk aquatic species. They expand the reach of legislation passed in 2009 that restricted ownership and breeding of tigers, snakes, crocodiles and a long list of other exotic animals. Added to the list are species of monitor lizard that grow to more than two metres long or otherwise repre-

sent a threat to public safety.

B.C.’s restrictions for private zoos were passed after a woman was killed by a Bengal tiger kept in a cage at an exotic animal attraction on a farm near 100 Mile House in 2007.

The new regulations add definitions for “accredited zoo or aquarium” as well as schools and research facilities that are permitted to possess exotic animals for study purposes.

The regulation requires owners of controlled species to apply for permits. Conservation officers have authority to seize animals that are considered an immediate threat to health and safety of people.

More information is available on the B.C. government website at www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/ wildlifeactreview/cas/

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Communication flourishes.

Oddly enough, others could decide to make themselves vulnerable and speak about their dreams and/or their fears.

You might gain a great deal of understanding and empathy as a result of their openness.

Tonight: Be spontaneous.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll want to keep a certain matter under wraps. All indications show that you are a successful team player, while others tend to be very me-oriented. Detach from the actions and words of those people.

Indulge an inspirational friend.

Tonight: A party could dwindle to two.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone you care about is accommodating beyond what you feel is even possible. Do not count on this generosity lasting forever. Invite friends and loved ones to join you in celebrating not only the weekend but also the holiday! Tonight: And the

fun continues.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Take charge while others run around and get their errands done. You actually might like being commander of the ship, and, as a result, you will have a good time. Be careful with a very dominant person in your life. Tonight: Let your imagination invigorate the moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Reach out to someone at a distance whom you care about.

This is best done now rather than in a few days. Start your holiday round of visits, and delightful and meaningful conversations will ensue. You will have an effect on someone special.

Tonight: Pinch yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You feel far more comfortable than you have in a considerable amount of time with partners, loved ones and friends. You will see the difference in their responses. Someone who often puts a smile on your face might share an important secret. Tonight: All smiles.

For Better or Worse

Garfield

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Personal and family demands start piling up on you. Between commitments with your real family and wanting to touch base with your “family” of friends, you could feel stretched to the limit. Someone at a distance lets you know that you are cared for. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pace yourself, and be aware of what is about to happen. Conversations will be lively, but you might be taken aback by what someone shares. Let your imagination play more into a relationship in order to add that magic touch. Tonight: Under the mistletoe, and very happy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The magic of the season starts to play a bigger role in your life.

You might want to reach out to several people whom you might not get to see before Christmas. Get together with them, whether you all go to a fun party or meet up individually.

Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are energized as a result of the Winter Equinox taking place. You might need to go for a walk in order to let go of your innate need to move. You are like a kid waiting for Christmas morning. Start making some of your holiday calls now. Tonight: Head home early.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Much is going on behind the scenes, but it is not overt enough that you would notice.

Money could slip through your fingers like water if you are not careful. Of course, this vanishing act could be symbolic. Take preventive measures. Tonight: Get together with friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You can be so spiritual, that others could be stunned when your jealousy emerges. You can’t sit on this situation forever, but you can take some time to process it. Ask yourself why you feel so insecure. Maybe that is an excuse to do some shopping. Tonight: Be noticed.

Rhymes with Orange

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m 27 and have lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease. My condition is usually under control, and I live a normal life. The problem is, I’m very sensitive to perfume, air fresheners and cigarette smoke, and with my medications, I can’t drink alcohol.

A lot of my girlfriends throw candle parties and cosmetic parties or go out drinking, all of which involve things I react badly to.

I typically decline these invitations, suggest something else or go along and stay silent so I won’t be a wet blanket. At a recent cosmetic party, I stupidly allowed a friend to smear makeup on me after being goaded into it.

Within seconds, my face and scalp were burning, and I jumped up and stuck my head under the faucet. Everybody laughed, except the hostess, who was “deeply offended.” I haven’t been invited to any parties since.

It upsets me that my friends, who have known me since we were children, don’t seem to care that the majority of their plans include activities that will make me physically ill. I have offered to host get-togethers at my home, but one of my friends told me my house “smells funny.” When I ask friends, family or co-workers to lay off the perfume or air freshener, I hear, “You’re the only one who complains.” Even my sister douses herself in a perfume that gives me hives and then gets insulted that I don’t want to hug her.

How do I explain to my friends that their idea of fun literally makes me sick? I’m starting to feel very left out because of my disease. -- Shouldn’t Be Limited by Lupus Dear Not Limited: Your friends seem a bit immature, which makes them too focused on their own enjoyment and less sympathetic toward you. Do they know you have lupus?

(Saying that you can’t drink or are sensitive to cologne might seem optional to them.)

When you can participate without too much risk, you should make the effort, but otherwise, we recommend you start looking for better friends. For additional assistance and support, try the Lupus Foundation of America (lupus.org).

Dear Annie: A co-worker and her husband are expecting a baby in late December and decided to throw themselves an elaborate baby shower. They have plenty of friends, relatives and colleagues who could have given them a shower. I have never heard of giving one for yourself. Isn’t this rude? -- Flummoxed in Florida Dear Florida: The idea of showers (bridal or baby) was for friends to help a new couple stock their home or prepare for the new child by voluntarily gifting them with things they would need. This sweet, helpful welcome has somehow morphed into the idea that people are entitled to demand gifts for every occasion. Throwing oneself a baby shower smacks of greed. It says, “I expect you to give me presents.”

However, it’s possible that none of their friends offered to help and they thought it would be OK to do it themselves. Whether to attend is up to you.

Dear Annie: “Old Enough” didn’t want her parents to visit her in Europe during her son’s spring break because he needed to study for his SATs. That letter took the cake.

During the lifetime of one’s parents, children should adjust their schedules to accommodate those who sacrificed so much for them. What a lame excuse about the son wanting to study for SAT and AP exams.

There are plenty of places he can go to study without interruptions. -- Parent Dear Parent: We disagree. Children should, of course, make accommodations for their parents whenever possible. But when Mom and Dad can visit at any time and deliberately choose to come on precisely those days that their daughter has asked them not to shows a lack of consideration and respect.

Parents who want to maintain a healthy relationship with their children should not stomp all over them.

Perils of Show Biz

Solo artists at greater risk than groups Jill Lawless Associated Press

LONDON – Rock ‘n’ roll will never die – but it’s a hazardous occupation.

An academic study published Thursday confirms that rock and pop musicians are more likely to die prematurely than the general population, and finds that solo artists are twice as likely to die young as members of bands.

Researchers from Liverpool John Moores University and Britain’s Health Department studied 1,489 rock, pop, punk, R&B, rap, electronica and New Age stars who became famous between 1956 and 2006 – from Elvis Presley to the Arctic Monkeys.

They found that 137 of the stars, or 9.2 per cent, had died, representing “higher levels of mortality than demographically matched in-

dividuals in the general population.’’

The researchers dismissed the “fanciful but unsubstantiated’’ popular myth that rock stars tend to die at 27 – as Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse all did. The average age of death was 45.2 years for North American stars and 39.6 for European ones.

Solo performers had twice the death risk of members of bands.

Lead researcher Mark Bellis speculated that could be because bands provide peer support at stressful times.

“Solo artists, even though they have huge followings, may be relatively isolated,’’ said Bellis, director of the Center for Public Health at Liverpool John Moores University.

Music critic John Aizlewood agreed that solo artists receive more

attention and adulation – and also more pressure.

“And when you are a solo act, irrespective of what they say in interviews, it’s an incredibly egotistical thing,’’ he said. “So you tend to be dealing with people who are more emotionally extreme.

“They have an ego in the way a drummer or even a lead guitarist in a band doesn’t.’’

In good news for aging rockers, the study found that, after 25 years of fame, stars’ death rates began to return to normal _ at least in Europe. A European star still living 36 years after achieving fame faces a similar mortality rate to the European public. But U.S. artists continue to die in greater numbers.

Bellis said factors contributing to the difference could include longer careers _ and

Father, three sons need rescue after skiing out of bounds near Revelstoke Canadian Press

REVELSTOKE, B.C. _ For the second time in less than a week, rescuers have been called out to help people who went out of bounds in a B.C. ski area.

In the latest case, a father and his three sons got lost Wednesday after leaving the marked ski area of the Revelstoke Mountain Resort, east of Kam-

loops.

RCMP Const. Dan Moskaluk says the father used his cellphone to alert authorities that his group was stuck in an area just east of the resort.

He says a search and rescue helicopter found the group and dropped supplies to them but was not able to get them out because of the weather and the

approaching darkness.

Moskaluk says the group was forced to spend the night on the mountain until rescuers are able to return.

On Tuesday, a snowboarder was rescued from the wilderness near West Vancouver after being stranded for two days after he went out of bounds at the Cypress Mountain resort.

Groups oppose Elk Valley pit mine plans C anadian Press

Three environmental groups are sounding the alarm over plans for an open pit coal mine in the Elk Valley in southeast B.C. The groups, which include the Sierra Club and Wildsight, say the Bingay project proposed

by Centermount Coal

would jeopardize a crucial international wildlife corridor that the United Nations has sought protection for.

Wildsight official Ryland Nelson says the mine would be in addition to five existing coal mines, four mine expansion proposals and three exploration proj-

ects in the Elk valley — and all this is too much stress for the watershed.

Sierra Club spokeswoman Sarah Cox says a new open pit mine next to the Elk River is a crazy idea because the river already has alarmingly high levels of selenium from existing coal mines.

thus longer exposure to rock ‘n’ roll excess _ in the U.S., a huge, populous country with greater opportunities for aging stars to stay on the road. Europe’s stronger social safety net and socialized medicine may also play a role, he said.

The research, which updates a 2007 study by the same team, was published in the online journal BMJ Open.

The study suggests the infamous rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle may not be entirely to blame for rock stars’ death risk.

The researchers looked for the first time at the role of “adverse childhood experiences’’ – such as physical or sexual abuse – on stars’ later behaviour.

They found that performers who had had at least one adverse childhood experience were more likely to die from drug and alcohol use or “risk-related causes.’’

“Substance abuse and risk-taking in stars are largely discussed in terms of hedonism, music industry culture,

Janis Joplin responses to the pressures of fame or even part of the creative process,’’ the researchers said.

However, they said, “adverse experiences in early life may leave some predisposed to health-damaging behaviours, with fame and extreme wealth providing greater opportuni-

ties to engage in risk-taking.’’

But Ellis Cashmore, a cultural studies professor at Staffordshire University and author of the book “Celebrity/ Culture,’’ said it would be wrong to overlook “artistic frustration’’ as a factor in artistic self-destruction.

He said troubled art-

ists from Vincent Van Gogh and Ernest Hemingway to the Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson all illustrate “the torment that creativity brings with it.’’

“Perhaps it is the continual striving for some sort of unattainable artistic perfection that drives them,’’ he said.

A true Kootenay Christmas in SD5

There was song, dance and performing arts. Cranbrook’s school children put on an amazing show in the days leading up to Christmas for their families. Here’s a snapshot of the wonderful holiday fun.

Christmas story comes wrapped in various ways In four days, Christmas will finally be here!

Before we know it the decorations will come down, the turkey will be eaten, and the wrapping paper safely tossed in the garbage—hopefully to be recycled—and we will have moved on to our New Year’s parties. We spend so much time preparing for it that the Christmas celebration itself seems to pass by in the blink of an eye.

But that’s just the beginning of Christmas.

The 12 Days begin on December 25th. We have almost two weeks to celebrate the festival. The busy preparations are finished now; perhaps we can stop a moment now to savour the message. It’s easy to miss that message in all the noise and hubbub of the season. It’s a simple message of healing, of reconciliation, of peace and goodwill, of transformation and hope.

Christians celebrate Christmas as the promise of a life–renewing experience with God. We

sing the carols and read the ancient stories in worship on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I love these services; they are a moment of serenity in the midst of the consumerist silliness. We stop and experience anew the transforming presence of God. We focus on the stillness. It’s a holy hush, a time of silence and renewal.

That same message of transformation can be found in many of the classic stories of Christmas, most of which are not explicitly Christian or even religious. The stories we read and watch in this season—Charlie Brown, George Bailey, the Grinch, Ebenezer Scrooge and others—all of them focus on a message about the renewal of life. Each of these stories has to do with life being renewed and made whole by an encounter with the Christmas spirit.

Each of the characters receive a renewed sense of purpose for life and they become people of good will and good deeds.

Charlie Brown can’t seem to do anything right. He can’t even pick out a decent tree for the Christmas program, and yet, with Linus’ help that little tree becomes a glorious symbol of Christmas. It just takes a blanket and a few of Snoopy’s decorations to instill in Charlie Brown and his friends the joy of Christmas.

The Grinch is a mean one, he is. This miser and hermit hates noise and just wants to be left alone.

The racket of Christmas so upsets him so much that he gets a really horrible idea: he’s going to steal Christmas from the people of Whoville.

He steals all their presents, their decorations, and every piece of food, even their Who pudding. But when Christmas morning dawns, the people of Whoville wake up and gather in the town square and begin to sing. He hears the songs of joy, and the Grinch discovers that Christmas isn’t really about material things.

WWII Jewish grave markers recovered C anadian Press

THESSALONIKI, Greece – In a find that local Jewish groups have described as highly significant, Greek police said Thursday that hundreds of marble headstones and other fragments from Jewish graves destroyed during the Nazi occupation in World War II have been recovered.

The 668 fragments were found buried in a plot of land in Thessaloniki following a 70year search for the remains of graves smashed when the city’s main Jewish cemetery was destroyed.

The head of the city’s Jewish community, David Saltiel, said most of the gravestones found dated from the mid1800s up until World War II. ``This is our history,’’ Saltiel, head of the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece, told The Associated Press. ``Apart from the names, the (gravestones) also include the person’s occupation. So this is a historic record.’’

An estimated 60,000

Greek Jews, most of the country’s prewar Jewish

population, were killed in the Holocaust.

George Bailey isn’t a bad guy, but when things go bad, he decides everyone would be better off without him. Just as he is

its intervene and show him his past, present, and a possible future.

In the course of these visions, Scrooge realizes that his past choices have not only damaged his life, but also the lives of other people around him, including Tiny Tim. As that realization dawns, Scrooge becomes the most generous and caring person in all of London.

These stories, like the biblical story, are about peace and hope, renewal and transformation and healing. 37 years ago, Robert Macafee Brown wrote a book called “The Pseudonyms of God”. His

about to jump into that icy river on Christmas Eve, an apprentice angel appears and shows George that life would be much worse without him. George Bailey discovers that every life, including his, has value, and through an act of grace he is redeemed and enabled to do good works for others.

And then there’s Ebenezer Scrooge (my favourite). A grumpy, unhappy old miser, he hates everyone and everything. Christmas is a humbug, a nuisance, a reminder of his inconsolable loneliness. One Christmas Eve three spir-

thesis was that God shows up in many different disguises, and part of our faith is to discern God’s presence.

God’s transforming love is evident in these stories, even if God is never mentioned. May they, along with the biblical stories of a baby born in a manger in a small town in a far off land, bring comfort, peace, and a new sense of purpose for your life.

Like George Bailey, Charlie Brown, the Grinch, and Scrooge, may you also be a blessing to all the people in your life.
