Brody’s Back In Town

BARRY COULTER PHOTO

Dean Brody, a Country Music artist at the top of his game, hit the stage of the Key City Theatre Sunday night, just “a couple of walls away” from where he went to high school.

Brody, from Jaffray, played the first of two sold-out shows in Cranbrook, touring behind the release of his third album “Dirt.” Brody and his band (Jason Barry on guitar, Scott Galloway on keyboards, Mark McIntyre on bass and Lyle Molzan on drums) were greeted with thunderous applause from the hometown crowd. Opening the show were The Small Town Pistols. Tonight’s concert kicks off at 7:30. See more, in Tuesday’s Daily Townsman.

A new generation of young children is ready to enter the hallowed halls of Kindergarten, and Interior Health is advising parents to make sure their children’s immune systems are ready as well.

Interior Health is once again offering immunization booster shots to Kindergarten-aged children between four and six years old. Clinics begin February 27, 2013, at the Cranbrook Health Unit.

“As children get older, the protection offered from infant immunizations can wear off,” IH said in a press release. “Vaccines trigger the immune system to be prepared to protect itself when exposed to certain bacteria and viruses that can cause diseases such as pertussis (whooping cough) or polio.”

Kindergarten age is the time for two booster immunizations of diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio and chickenpox.

Cranbrook residents can make an appointment for the immunizations by calling 250-4202220.

Interior Health said outbreaks of pertussis and measles in B.C. have highlighted the importance of keeping disease rates low by keeping immunization rates high.

The DTaP-IPV vaccine protects against four dis-

eases all in one shot.

Diphtheria is a serious infection of the nose and throat and is spread through the air by sneezing, coughing or directly by skin-to –skin contact.

Tetanus, also known as “lockjaw,” is caused by a germ mostly found in soil that can enter the skin through a cut or scrape.

Pertussis is a serious infection of the lungs and throat that is easily spread by coughing, sneezing or close faceto-face contact.

Polio, although no longer in Canada, still occurs in other parts of the world and can reappear if immunization rates fall.

The chickenpox vaccine is the best way to protect your child against the chickenpox illness and its complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis (swelling of the brain), and bacterial infections of the skin. Encephalitis can lead to convulsions, deafness or brain damage. For some people, the chickenpox virus can become active again later in life and cause a painful rash called shingles.

IH wants to assure the public that the vaccinations are safe.

“It is much safer to get the vaccine than to get sick from the disease.

Common reactions to the vaccine include soreness, redness and swelling where the shot

out if a WestJet service is coming to the Canadian Rockies International Airport. Calgary-based airline WestJet has confirmed there have been some delays in announcing the launch of their regional air service.

Details about WestJet’s new regional airline Encore was originally set to be released on Monday, but the first round of communities to be included in the service will not be announced until next month.

WestJet is in the process of launching Encore, which is expected to begin flying in the second half of this year. Small and mid-sized communities across Canada have been lobbying to convince WestJet to include them in the new service, and Cranbrook is still in the running.

During the fall, the

Kimberley Chamber of Commerce led the campaign to get East Kootenay residents who rely on the airport to show their support.

Residents sent in letters to the airport and directly to WestJet, explaining what an asset the service would be for the surrounding communities and businesses.

The Canadian Rockies International Airport met with WestJet several times throughout 2012, and is still in communications with the company about the possibility of bringing the regional air service to Cranbrook.

WestJet Encore will likely launch with just a few destinations and then begin to expand coast-to-coast. WestJet said the regional airline has the potential to create 1,800 jobs across the country.

Cranbrook set to mark V-Day with ‘Monologues’ Barry Coulter

V-Day has become a day of significant import in Cranbrook, and this year, what has proved to be a very popular production in Cranbrook is being performed again in two weeks time.

The Vagina Monologues takes place Feb.15 at the Key City Theatre. For the third time, Tanya Laing Gahr is directing the powerful, episodic play by Eve Ensler dealing with aspects of the feminine experience. For the second year in a row, the event will serve as a fundraiser for the Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre.

The play is the cornerstone of the V-Day movement, whose participants stage benefit performances of the show and/or host other related events in their

communities.

Such events take place worldwide each year between February 1 and April 30.

“The Vagina Monologues is part of V-Day, a global movement to end violence against women and girls,” Laing Gahr said. “Cranbrook’s resource centre is the first stop for many women who are experiencing violence and are choosing to get the support they need to move on.”

Last year’s production — directed by Laing Gahr and produced by Susan Hansen — raised nearly $8,000 for the centre, which has been serving women in Cranbrook for 41 years.

“The Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre helps hundreds of women — and their children — every year,” Laing Gahr said. “Our theatre company,

Drama Queens, has chosen to support the resource centre because we believe in the work it does—and we believe in the women who use it.”

The Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre is one of the last centres of its kind in the province. Funding cuts have led to centres shutting down, and the Cranbrook centre was shut down for several months during 2011.

This year, the overall fundraising goal for the centre is $50,000.

The Vagina Monologues is made up of a varying number of monologues read by a varying number of women. Each of the monologues touches on matters such as sex, love, rape, menstruation, birth, orgasm, the various common names for the vagina, or simply

B.C. Government seeks to address domestic violence Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

The B.C. provincial government is looking for feedback as they begin to craft their three-year plan to address domestic violence in the province.

A new survey is available now from the Provincial Office of Domestic Violence that will help the government collect feedback in the formulation of the new plan.

“To truly improve the way we address domestic violence requires not only co-ordination across government agencies, but also collaboration with our community partners and meaningful response to public feedback,” said Stephanie Cadieux, minister of children and family development.

The government will also be working with experts, and that information will be combined in the final product.

“Ministers representing diverse sectors of government had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with the experts who develop and deliver services and supports each day to British Columbians impacted by domestic violence,” Cadieux said.

The feedback will create a threeyear action plan, but there are already many programs available right now for those in need.

“Our government has taken important steps to address domestic violence in B.C., including the new Family Law Act and the creation of the Provincial Office of Domestic Violence,” said Shirley Bond, Attorney General. “By listening to the voices of those impacted by violence, and with help from experts in the field, we are building on that strong foundation.”

Included in the new plan will be an Aboriginal strategy and address the needs of immigrants, refugee women and women with disabilities.

On January 21, six B.C. ministers sat down with representatives from 46 partner organizations that deliver services to support those affected by domestic violence. Those ministers were Cadieux and Bond, Health Minister Dr. Margaret MacDiarmid, Education Minister Don McRae, Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister Ida Chong, Social Development Minister Dr. Moira Stilwell and Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Housing Rich Coleman.

The plan is set to be developed and implemented by the summer.

The online questionnaire isn’t the only way to participate in the study.

The questions can also be printed and faxed or mailed in. Details are on the survey’s website at http://www. mcf.gov.bc.ca/podv/questionnaire. asp. The questionnaire will be accepted until February 18.

If you, a family member or a friend are experiencing dometic violence or abuse of any kind, resources can be accessed by visiting www.domesticviolence.ca or www.victimlinkbc.ca.

Locally, Kootenay residents can contact the Canadian Mental Health Association Kootenays Branch, www. kootenays.cmha.bc.ca. There are two safe houses available in Cranbrook; the Kootenay Haven Transition House, and for women they can access the Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre. Kootenay Haven offers support 24-hours a day, which can be accessed by calling (250) 426-4887 or toll free at 1 800 200 3003.

as a physical aspect of the body. A recurring theme throughout the piece is the vagina as a tool of female empowerment, and the ulti-

mate embodiment of individuality.

“You’ll walk out of this event feeling energized,” Laing Gahr said.

“The excitement, the

performers and the message are going to combine into an evening that inspires, provokes and entertains.”

Tickets are now on

sale at the Key City Theatre Box Office. They are $25. All of the proceeds will go to the Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre.

The long road for Jenna and her family C A R O LYN G R A N T Daily Bulletin

There is some very good news for all the friends and supporters of Jenna Homeniuk, the 15-year old Kimberley girl who has been receiving treatment for leukemia in Calgary since last August.

Jenna has now been discharged from hospital and is at Ronald McDonald house in Calgary with her mother, Paula. And best of all, Jenna is expected to return home to Kimberley early this spring.

“Jenna and her family are excited to return to Kimberley so they can thank the many people and businesses in person for all the support she received,” said family friend Shari Lamarche.

However, Jenna and her family will have to continue to rely on support as the cost of her medication could be as much as $4,000 a month. Having been discharged from hospital and being seen as an out-patient, Jenna’s drugs are no longer covered, though she will continue to need them for at least anoth-

er year.

Lamarche says Paula, who has stayed with Jenna through the entire ordeal, quitting her job to do so, has no income coming in, no extended benefits, and has paid $2,000 for Jenna’s medication in the last two weeks.

“The community’s support is needed again and is so appreciated,” Lamarche said.

A big fundraiser is being planned at the Sully Pub on Saturday, March 9, 2013. It’s being called Chop your Locks or Brave the Shave.

Organizers are looking for as many people as possible to cut their long hair short or shave their signature facial hair.

Participants can pick up pledge forms at the Sully pub or Black Bear Fitness. For more information call Shari at 250-432-9513.

“A portion of the money raised from this event will go to a children’s charity of Jenna’s choice,” Lamarch said.

“The family wants to give back as well, as they are aware many other families are also in need.”

ers and plumes, entire breeding colonies of some species were utterly destroyed. The disappearance of egrets and herons spurred the conservation movement, and these species became the ‘poster children’ of the fledgling Audubon Society.

In 1900, Mr. Chapman proposed a Christmas Bird Census, which now, 113 years later, boasts 60,000 observers at over 2,200 locations across the hemisphere.

The question, how are the birds doing?, is one that can be answered using the data provided by the bird count. The short answer is that some are doing very well, and others, not as well. Looking at the ‘Centre of Abundance’, we can see that, largely because of climate change, 60 species have moved over 100 miles North since 1900. Bird counts in Cranbrook have contributed valuable data every year since December 30th, 1984.

The evening grosbeak teaches us how bird populations can change dramatically.

Virtually unknown East of the Mississippi River until about 1850, it expanded East, peaking in the mid 1980s (about 17 million), then plummeted. At a present population of about 3.8 million

Evening Grosbeak we see a decrease of 78 per cent. It’s future will depend on maintaining healthy habitat in the boreal forest.

December 29th was a good day for the 12 field observers and 6 feeder watchers to count a higher-than-average 52 species within the 12 km radius circle which defines our area. Cool, calm and overcast skies allowed birds to go about their business of eating, sheltering and avoiding predation. Field observers broke into 4 groups, each with a map and, as thoroughly as possible, drove and walked throughout the prescribed quadrant.

Homeowners with wellstocked feeders challenged us to count mixed flocks of quick-flitting redpolls, finches, chickadees, nuthatches and woodpeckers, while open water provided opportunities to see waterfowl, dippers and hawks.

Treetop perches were

scanned for solitaires, shrikes and jays while open skies were checked for eagles and waxwings.

Two unusual species, the Eurasian Collared-dove and Horned Grebe, and two species seen during the ‘count week’, the Western Screech Owl and American Three-toed Woodpecker, bolstered the count.

The image: You can easily choose a good ‘evening grosbeak image’, some have interesting poses and perhaps both male and female.

Opinion/features Letters to the Editor

Up the Creek

Members of City Council, I am titling my letter to you “Up the Creek.”

As a resident of Willowbrook Estates, I have patiently been waiting for someone to clear away snow from the sidewalk adjacent to Willowbrook Estate and the Joseph Creek complexes, westward then continuing on the path east to Victoria Avenue.

As a taxpayer and resident of one of the two largest centres accommodating the oldest members of our community, I would have thought it would have been a “no brainer” to accept responsibility to clear the sidewalk of snow and ice adjacent to these properties. This would have made our more vulnerable Cranbrook residents less vulnerable to serious accidents when walking for exercise and fresh air. Of course, the Council or someone, in their wisdom decided to clear the path adjacent to the ball park, which is rarely used compared to the sidewalk I mentioned earlier.

I believe that such a matter was brought to the attention of the Council last year and it turned down the responsibility for clearing of the above-mentioned sidewalk. If this is the case, I should like to know from the Council minutes on what date this was discussed, and the names of the Councillors who voted against it.

Perhaps they would prefer to spend our taxes on another elephant. What idiocy.

Caregiver Support Thanks you for the recent series of articles with information about dementia and programs for family caregivers. It is so vital that caregivers are aware of services that can assist them.

In our region, the Caregiver Network for EK Senior’s Society, funded by IHA, provides meetings and telephone support

for the caregivers of seniors in six communities of the East Kootenay. Caregivers who are dealing with any aging related difficulties with someone close to them will find information, education and emotional support in their community by contacting Liz Duchscherer, Regional Program Manager, toll free at 1-877-489-0803.

Committee made up of Kim Deane, Am Naqvi, and Laurie Page (Vice Chair) made the decision Greg’s dual appointment was acceptable. Please let me know if there is any legal recourse (an appeals process) the public can take with regards to this.

I am wholeheartedly opposed to this appointment.

Conflict Greg Deck’s recent dual appointment to both Chair of CBT and Mayor of Jumbo is in conflict with CBT’s own “Board Composition, Appointment, Skills and Attributes Policy” and their “Code of Conduct,” as follows: 3.1.3 Duty to Avoid Conflicts — Directors should attempt to avoid putting themselves in a position where their personal interests or their duties to another body interfere with their duties to CBT. Where it is not possible for a Director to avoid a conflict, the conflict of interest will be addressed by CBT in accordance with this Code. Directors must disclose any real or apparent conflict of interest to CBT. 4 Conflicts of Interest 4.1 In performing their duties, Directors must not put themselves in a position in which their Private Interests and those of CBT are in a real or apparent conflict of interest, and must do their utmost to avoid such a situation.

4.2 A conflict of interest exists when the Director is performing a duty to CBT and in doing so has the opportunity to further his or her Private Interest.

4.3 An apparent conflict of interest exists when a reasonably well informed person could perceive that a Director’s ability to perform a duty was or will be affected by his or her Private Interest.

My understanding is the Executive

HST Referendum In response to my January 14 letter, Jean Samis, in your January 16 Townsman, claims the successful HST petition forced the BC Liberal government to have a referendum on the HST. This is not true.

The successful petition process forced the government to choose between holding what would have been a successful vote in the legislature or holding a public referendum, a referendum which according to the legislation would not be binding on government.

Not only did the BC Liberal government “voluntarily choose to hold a referendum” rather than a vote, the BC Liberal government voluntarily chose to make the referendum binding on government and voluntarily lowered the threshold for referendum success from 60 per cent to 50 per cent.

Ms. Samis should educate herself about the facts so as to avoid embarrassment.

The BC Liberals have borne this HST cross and fair enough. But they should at least be given credit for listening to the people, choosing a referendum rather than legislation, making it easier for the referendum to pass, and making the referendum binding on government when they didn’t have to.

Dear Feeling Content and Happy: Yes, it’s been a long time since we have Wendy

Dear Wendy: It’s been awhile since we have been in touch. I was looking at your article in the paper about doing a spec” for someone and I was wondering if you could do one for me?

I have been corresponding with this man and he seems too good to be true — those ones usually are aren’t they? I don’t want to get into this relationship any further if he is any kind of an abuser. What do you and your guides think about this man?

Feeling Unsure Dear Feeling Unsure: We did a spec on this man that you have been corresponding with and this is the information my guides wish to relay to you: He is a bit of a verbal abuser. He can be a physical abuser. In the past he definitely has abused women on this plane in this lifetime.

He does not take street drugs. He is an alcoholic and still drinks alcohol. He is not a cheater but has a tendency to be a control “freak. He also lies to the women he goes out with. My guide advises you to ask him questions involving his past personal relationships with women and you will see his answers will be quite evasive.

He will portray that he was always the victim in the relationships he has had with these women. We feel he is not capable of a boyfriend, girlfriend relationship at this time.

Obama’s Parallax Inauguration

A

stronomers have a name for the phenomenon of an object appearing to be in different places, depending on the perspective from which it is viewed. It’s known as the parallax view, and could be seen on display for the 2nd Inauguration of the 44th President of the United States. Speaking of it, folks described events occurring on different planets.

Some called it a disaster, some a triumph. Crime scene in a cave versus ascension on a mountain top.

White knight to the rescue -Darth Vader choking off a windpipe.

No one denies it was an auspicious ceremony, with Beyonce lip syncing and Michelle Obama resurrecting a 25-yearold haircut, but Barack H. Obama’s last Oval Office induction ceremony was totally defined according to which side of the aisle you watched it from. Seen through the blue lens was one thing but through the red lens, something semi-similar only inside out, upside down and backwards. With poopy on it.

For Democrats, the January weekend of celebration was even more momentous than the first time around. Proving indu-

bitably that America is the land of opportunity, where hope never dies and lots of little money for campaign coffers never hurts either. And if you ever get the chance to give a bunch of old people rides to the polls on fleets of rented buses, go for it.

For Republicans it was a three-day salt in the wound reminder of wasted opportunity. Exactly how bad a candidate Mitt Romney actually was. Think RAGING of it; in a lousy economy the MODERATE guy managed to lose to a Will black incumbent, whose Durst middle name is Hussein.

The incumbent, not the economy.

Permanent bruise, right above the knee, where the fist automatically slams down. At least twice a day.

Nobody could deny the emotional depth precipitated by the occasion of oath-taking on the Capitol’s west side in front of freezing multitudes. So much so, that even John Boehner seemed moved to tears. Which, admittedly, isn’t all that unusual. And kind of creepily, they were orange tears. Who sheds tears of Tang?

And while the event itself may have been polarizing, it paled like the cover of Sue Grafton’s “A is for Alibi” in the front

window of a west-facing bookstore in Equatorial Guinea — compared to the speech. The president waxed eloquent about a pursuit of progressive ideals; mentioning marriage equality, climate change and even slamming Paul Ryan’s claim that society is being ruined by the takers. So as you can imagine, right after the president was sworn in, he was sworn at.

Oh my. The hue and cry. He was called a socialist. A banana head. A foreign-born evildoer attempting to destroy the country. Unveiling a left-wing manifesto that finally reveals his true colors as a socialist usurper of all that is good and right and true and just. So… looks like, everything’s back to normal.

We the people, were given the impression that this time around the rebooted Obama 2.0 will be less likely to roll over on his back begging Mitch McConnell to rub his belly. After getting poked with a sharp stick for four years, this dog may have grown some teeth. But that’s where the parallax view kicks in again. Some see them as incisors and some vampire canines that enable him to suck the souls right out of our skulls.

Will Durst is a political comedian who has performed around the world.

Nitros pull out a pair of wins in overtime TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO

Curtis Stockton, who plays right side with the Avalanche, goes for a hit in a match against the visiting Douglas College Royals during volleyball action at the College of the Rockies gym on Saturday.

Women’s Avs earn a win against Royals TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The women’s Avalanche team had a strong weekend, picking up a win against the visiting Douglas College Royals and falling just short in the fifth tie-breaker set of their opening match.

The men had a tough weekend, losing both matches in straight sets to the Roy-

als, a team which is on an 18-game win streak and has only one loss so far in the season.

In their first match on Friday night, the women traded sets, but the Royals won the following set and took a commanding 14-6 lead in the fourth.

Then the Avs put in Nikki Valgardson and everything changed.

“She served 10 in a

row and brought us back into the match to make it 15-14,” said Avalanche assistant coach Brian Millis. “That got them kind of on their heels and then it was back and forth until we took the set at 29-27.”

That tied up the match with both teams holding two sets apiece, which forced a tiebreaker.

Despite a close rally,

the Royals edged it out 15-13 to close out the win.

However, the ladies responded the following day with a victory in straight sets, winning 25-19, 25-18, 2523.

“They did everything right on Saturday,” added Millis.

“They came out firing and they knew they had to win that game.”

“We’re in a playoff hunt and we’re not out of it yet and I think the girls have finally hit their stride.”

The men came close to winning the second set in their opening match, but the Royals took the win at 25-18, 26-24, 25-19. The Royals came out swinging on Saturday as well, handily taking three sets for the victory.

Kootenay collects more points in playoff push TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Ice continued their march towards a playoff spot over the weekend, earning a point in an overtime loss to Moose Jaw and picking up a win against Regina in a quick twogame jaunt to Saskatchewan.

The trio of points collected by the team puts them within three of drawing even with the Saskatoon Blades in eighth place.

Sam Reinhart broke a 1-1 tie in the second period on the powerplay and Levi Cable added an empty netter to defeat the Pats 3-1 in Regina on Saturday.

Jon Martin opened

the scoring in the first period, before Lane Scheidl answered for Regina to draw the game even after 20 minutes.

Mackenzie Skapski made 22 saves in net for the Ice, while Matt Hewitt turned away 35 shots for Regina.

Reinhart’s goal was the only marker in six opportunities with the man-advantage, while the Pats were shut out in all five of their chances.

“I think we had a good team effort,” said Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel. “We came out and had a very good first period and maintained a lot of those good habits that we had.”

Earlier, on Friday, the Ice dropped a 3-2 over-

time decision to the Warriors in Moose Jaw, when Sam Fioretti scored a powerplay goal with a second remaining in the extra frame.

Fioretti also forced overtime when he potted a goal early in the third period, which drew the two teams even at 2-2.

Carter Hansen put the Warriors in the lead in the second frame after a scoreless opening period.

Kootenay responded with a pair from Collin Shirley and Sam Reinhart to take the lead going into the final period.

“We didn’t start very well in that game and when you don’t start

well, it’s hard to get that preparation and mental edge that you need to start a game and to play at this level,” said Kletzel.

Skapski made 28 saves, while Justin Paulic stopped 32 shots for the Warriors.

Shirley’s goal was the only reward in six chances with the man-advantage, while Fioretti’s game-winner came on a powerplay in the overtime period.

“We didn’t have a very good effort in Moose Jaw, up to our expectations,” said Kletzel. “I think we just didn’t get performances out of the guys and we got lucky because Mackenzie Skapski made

some big saves in that game and kept it close.”

It was the last time that Brock Montgomery would get to play a WHL game in his hometown, as the Ice power forward is in his final year of eligibility in the league.

Forward Jaedon Descheneau had his 12game point streak end in Regina, but Reinhart kept his alive, with a tally of 22 points in 13 games.

Kootenay heads into Alberta during the week with a midmorning game in Edmonton (11:30 a.m.) on Wednesday, before hitting up Red Deer for a meeting with the Rebels on Thursday.

Twice is nice for the Kimberley Dynamiters.

The Nitros won in the overtime period against the Columbia Valley Rockies and Fernie Ghostriders over the weekend at scores of 5-4.

Eric Buckley was the OT hero on Friday, scoring the game winner against the Rockies, while Isaac Schacher lifted the Nitros to the win on Saturday against the Ghostriders.

Columbia Valley scored two goals in the third period to force overtime on Friday, as the Nitros led 4-2 going into the final frame.

Dylan Sibbald and Jared Marchi scored for the Nitros, with Kirk Lissel answering for the Rockies in between in the opening period on Friday.

Aaron Shubert and Buckley scored in the following frame while the Rockies responded on a marker from Jake Fardoe.

Fardoe and Brendan Burge scored in the third period to bring things to a tie and force overtime, before Buckley’s game winner and second goal of the night.

Matthew Mitchell stood in net for Kimberley, making 27 saves for the victory, while Brody Nelson manned the crease for the Rockies, with 29 saves in defeat.

The roles were reversed the following night in Fernie, as the Nitros made the come-

back with Schacher winning it in OT. Kimberley scored first on a shorthanded effort from Brett Luker, but the Riders responded with three consecutive goals—two from Anthony Gardner and one from Matt Carr.

But Marchi scored late in the period to make it a one-goal difference going into the second period.

The two teams traded goals in the middle frame; Derek Georgopoulos scoring for Fernie and Matt Gann for the Nitros.

Buckley found the equalizer in the final period, scoring just before the halfway mark to even it up and send the game into overtime.

Mitchell again stood in net for Kimberley, stopping 35 shots for the win, while Pierce Dushenko turned away 20 pucks for the loss.

The Nitros are in third place in the Eddie Mountain Division, far ahead of their closest opponent in the Creston Valley Thunder Cats, but will have a tough time catching up to the Golden Rockets.

There are five games remaining in the schedule before the KIJHL playoffs begin.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) How you deal with criticism will determine the success of a venture or relationship. Incorporating someone else’s idea into your own can only make the concept stronger. Tonight: It is as if you are speaking Chinese, and others are speaking French.

Enjoy the chaos!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Taking a stand is natural to you, and you do not back down easily. Someone could challenge your ideas and how you are handling a project. You might decide to disenfranchise this person, or perhaps you’ll choose to listen with amusement. Tonight: Brainstorm with a buddy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If a response doesn’t fit or seems off, push to get a better answer. It exists -- you just need to find it. Others will feel your lack of presence as you are distracted by this matter. Find some middle ground between your concerns and others’ demands. Tonight: Head home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You tend to indulge others.

As a result, you have a lot of friends. You sometimes wonder if you are buying or enabling friendships. The solution is easy: simply do less. Otherwise, you might feel resentful. News comes in a chaotic fashion. Tonight: Ask a lot of questions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A loved one can be flamboyant and unusually demanding.

The issue is not this person, but rather your response to his or her behavior. If you do not give this individual what he or she wants, this behavior might change. Confusion plagues your finances. Tonight: With friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be feeling less than great. You have been ignoring an issue that has been making you unusually angry. If you clear up your anger in an effective manner, you will feel better.

Express your feelings in a way others can hear. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Emphasize the positives in a

For Better or Worse

disagreeable, combustible situation. Tap into your resourcefulness, and you will find a path that most parties will agree on. Confusion surrounds meetings and plans. Confirm your appointments. Tonight: Take much-needed personal time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay on top of your work, yet be sure to take all phone calls.

There could be a change in plans, and an impending difficult situation might need to be acknowledged. Schedule meetings and run errands later in the afternoon. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You move through your day with ease, though you might be triggered by a conversation. Put those hot feelings away until there is time to process and discuss them. Avoid a discussion.

In the afternoon, you could find pressure building. Tonight: To the wee hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A partner has a lot to share, but the timing could be off. Still, rather than turn away and risk

him or her closing down for a sustained period, you might want to make time. Someone in your immediate circle provides many different ideas. Tonight: Use your imagination.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have your hands full, and your temper flares. You tend to juggle various different ideas, people and situations. Be sensitive to a financial involvement with a key person. You could find a thread of confusion in this situation. Tonight: Listen to a friend’s news.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Work through your irritation rather than bottle it up. You also might need to talk to the other party involved. This person might understand, but it is good to get this weight off your chest. Confusion signals a need to slow down and digest this information. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Normally I’m good at minding my own business, but when I see how my granddaughter, “Susie,” manipulates her mother (my daughter), I feel the urge to say something.

Susie is almost 12 and seems to be testing the limits in ways I would never have tolerated. She sasses her mother and dominates the conversation at the dinner table. When told to clear away her dirty dishes, she instead goes to the cupboard for a snack. Her discarded clothes are in every room of the house. When told to get ready for school, she turns on the TV. The bathroom floor is cluttered with whatever she tossed there.

She even “forgets” to flush the toilet!

My daughter, with incredible patience, sees this behavior as typical for her age. I see Susie as a brat testing her power. Her father says little and makes himself scarce. I’m concerned that a child who should be learning habits that will serve her well in adulthood seems to have no more discipline than a toddler. My daughter, a teacher, insists she knows what she’s doing. So far I’ve kept my mouth shut. What do you advise? -- Frustrated Granny Dear Frustrated: When Susie is in your home, you can instruct her to pick up her clothes, turn off the TV, flush the toilet (heavens!) and clear her plate. Her behavior is not “typical.” It is excessive. While many 12-year-olds will test the limits of what Mom and Dad will tolerate, it doesn’t mean parents should shrug their shoulders and give up. The more the parents accept the more Susie will push. To Susie, if her parents don’t demand anything, it means they don’t care about her. The most you can do is suggest that your daughter discuss Susie’s behavior with her pediatrician, school counselor or a child psychologist for reassurance that she’s handling things in the best possible way.

Dear Annie: My friend “George” has a neighbor who is always watching. This neighbor peeks out from her curtains, apparently thinking no one can see her. If she is sitting outside, she listens in on George’s conversations. If George makes the slightest noise, she will instantly look to see what’s going on.

This neighbor also gossips with the surrounding neighbors. She is incredibly nosey and kind of bizarre. Any ideas about behavior like this? -- Canada Dear Canada: Sure. The neighbor is lonely, curious, bored and gossipy. George is likely one of many neighbors who provide something potentially interesting for her to focus on. She may be annoying, but she also is the same neighbor who will notice if someone tries to break into George’s house.

She’s harmless. If you are feeling expansive, the next time you visit George, the two of you could stop by her house and say hello. Bring her some cookies. You’ll make her day.

Dear Annie: “Can’t Wait To Share New Home” said they are about to host their first housewarming party. They asked whether they should register for things they want and include the information on the invitations.

You said they shouldn’t register, but if people should ask, they can make suggestions.

Seriously? Aren’t other people supposed to host these parties for you? -- Incredulous on Cape Cod Dear Incredulous. Actually, no. A housewarming is one type of party that you are supposed to host yourself to welcome your friends and family to your new abode and show it off. Registering is inappropriate, as is mentioning gifts on an invitation. But there is nothing wrong with making suggestions to those who ask and who are likely to bring you something anyway.

Katherine Lee Duley

kootenaygranite.com

(nee Kanigan)

October 2, 1956 January 22, 2013 It is with profound sadness that we announce Kathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing after a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer. She passed peacefully at home with her family by her side.

She graduated from Kelowna Secondary School achieving high academic standards. She excelled as an athlete, where she developed strong friendships with her teammates who have remained by her side throughout her life. Kathy furthered her education, graduating with strong competency in French, Russian, Spanish, and English. She devoted many years as an inspiring teacher. Kathy was positive, energetic, wise, and loving in all that she did and practiced inclusivity with those around her. She was as passionate with her plants as she was with her ideologies of social justice. Her lasting friendships with family and friends truly reflected the friend she was.

Kathy was predeceased by her father, Harry. Surviving is her loving husband Mike of 31 years, her children Shayla and Rylan, loving mother Elizabeth, sister Lori (Hayden, Landyn), brother Fred and wife Josie (Denika, Hailey), along with numerous family and friends.

A service was held on January 25 with a pending announcement for a Celebration of Life. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Servicesâ&#x201E;˘ has been entrusted with arrangements.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local.

Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to find our about new products,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to receive information about companies,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.â&#x20AC;? At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message.

Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.
