MasterChef contestant feeds Maple Leafs

Danielle Cardozo of Cranbrook has skated through to the top 13 in the cook-off reality TV series SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Cranbrook’s Danielle Cardozo cooked for the Toronto Maple Leafs in Monday night’s episode of MasterChef Canada.

Read on if you don’t mind knowing the outcome of the episode.

After progressing in Feb. 10’s episode four, Danielle is now among the final 13 home cooks in the CTV reality series.

This episode, the contestants were tasked with cooking a nutritious pre-game meal for

the Maple Leafs and alumni at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre.

“It was one of the most exciting meals I have ever cooked!” Danielle told the Townsman.

“MasterChef Canada really put together a great challenge. I was honoured to cook for hockey greats such as Wendel Clark and Darryl Sittler. I am also not going to complain that the handsome Colton Orr liked my halibut!”

Deer traps stolen in Cranbrook SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Police are investigating after 10 deer traps were stolen from a government compound in Cranbrook.

On Sunday, Feb. 9, police were called to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations compound on Industrial Road G in Cranbrook.

“The chain link fence

surrounding the compound had been cut,” said Cst. Kathy Forgeron.

All 10 clover traps were missing from the yard.

The traps had been transferred to Cranbrook on Feb. 4 from Elkford, where they had been used in the District of Elkford’s cull.

A team of researchers has discovered what they’re calling an astonishing fossil site in an East Kootenay park that has revealed never-before-seen species from half a billion years ago.

Yoho National Park’s 505-million-year-old Burgess Shale — home to some of the planet’s earliest animals, including a very primitive human relative — is one of the world’s most important fossil sites.

Now, more than a century after its discovery, a compelling sequel has been unearthed: 42 kilometres away in Kootenay National Park, a new Burgess Shale fossil site has been located that appears to equal the im-

portance of the original discovery, and may one day even surpass it.

The find was originally made in the summer of 2012 by a team from the Royal Ontario Museum. The fossils were located south of the renowned Yoho National Park Burgess Shale site, and team member Jean-Bernard Caron says the new discovery is akin to a sister site.

“This new discovery is an epic sequel to a research story that began at the turn of the previous century, and there is no doubt in my mind that this new material will significantly increase our understanding of early animal evolution,” Caron said.

After just two weeks of field research, Caron

and his team identified 50 species, including at least 12 that were new.

“The rate at which we are finding animals – many of which are new – is astonishing, and there is a high possibility that we’ll eventually find more species here than at the original Yoho National Park site, and potentially more than from anywhere else in the world. We are very excited to go back to the field this summer, during the ROM’s Centennial year, with one of our main goals being to increase the number of new species discovered.”

The team from Canada, the United States and Sweden made the discovery in Kootenay National Park, about 200 kilometres west of

This new finding is the latest in a recent string of Burgess Shale discoveries, including confirmation that Pikaia, found only in Yoho National Park, is the most primitive known vertebrate and therefore the ancestor of all

descendant vertebrates, including humans.

In over 100 years of research, approximately 200 animal species have been identified at the original Burgess Shale discovery in Yoho National Park in over 600 field days. In just 15 days of field collecting, 50 animal species have already been unearthed at the new Kootenay National Park site.

LNG an ‘incredible opportunity,’ BC Throne Speech says C anadian Press

VICTORIA — British Columbia Premier Christy Clark says her province’s bold pursuit of liquefied natural gas is similar to that of the almost unbelievable 1960s race to land astronauts on the moon.

Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon delivered the Liberal government’s throne speech Tuesday, telling the legislature LNG offers British Columbia an incredible opportunity to grasp economic growth.

But she warned it will be challenging, much the same as the space race was more than 50 years ago.

Guichon’s speech offered a slightly revised quotation from former United States President John F. Kennedy, who made the case for the moon landing in a famous speech.

“We choose to do this not because it will be easy, but because it is hard,’’ Guichon said in a prepared version of the throne speech.

“Because it will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to post-

pone, and one which we intend to win.’’

Guichon said the Liberals will lay out their LNG framework this year that includes tax policies, First Nations benefits and environmental actions designed to make the industry the cleanest in the world.

She repeated Clark’s assertion that LNG is a generational opportunity that could create up to 100,000 jobs and eliminate the provincial debt, which currently stands at more than $60 billion.

Guichon said the Liberals will also introduce a motion to formally apologize for historical wrongs done to the Chinese-Canadian community.

The throne speech also promises to develop three 10-year projects involving transportation, education and skills training.

Guichon said the Liberals will introduce a 10year skills training plan aimed at helping young people enter the workforce and measures to help older workers looking to retrain.

Guichon also said the Liberals will continue to pursue their goal of a 10year labour agreement with teachers.

Heart & Stroke Curlathon welcomes first time curlers A r n e Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

Calling all curlers and non-curlers alike, the annual Heart and Stroke Curlathon is only days away.

“What we want is people that are non-curlers. It’s not competitive at all; it’s just a fun day to come out, try curling, have fun and dress up,” explained Lynn Lee, one of the event’s organizers.

As well as curling, the Feb. 22 event will feature dancing and dinner, prizes and a silent auction.

The event is a fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, so when teams sign up they will get pledge envelopes and then collect pledges prior to the event. There are prizes for fundraising for teams and individuals.

Lee said they are hoping to get 36 teams for the event.

“We have lots of room still,” she said.

“The emphasis is you

do not have to know how to curl. We have equipment for people to borrow so you don’t have to have equipment either. It’s totally for fun.”

The event theme changes every year and this year it’s a 1970s disco theme.

Last year it was tacky tourists.

“We just want to make it easier for people to find things to dress up as so that everyone can come dressed up,” she said.

This is the 34th year of the event. It was started in 1980 as a Heart and Stroke Foundation event.

Lee, along with Suzette Patsula and Misty Ahlefeld took over organization last year.

“We’re just finally feeling good about it,” Lee said. “Last year we were a little stressed out because of the learning curve and we didn’t know how to do things, and this year it’s getting a little easier.”

10 clover traps have been stolen in Cranbrook.

Traps stolen Continued from page 1 The traps are the property of the B.C. government and are loaned to municipalities when they receive a permit to cull deer.

Six of the 10 traps were quickly located in bush near the compound, but they had been burnt. One trap was found intact. Three others remain missing.

RCMP estimate the total value of the traps as approximately $17,000.

“Those found responsible could face charges of theft over $5,000 and wilful damage,” said Cst. Forgeron.

Anyone who has information about this incident is asked to contact Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471 or East Kootenay Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

A cull in Kimberley began on Feb. 1. The City of Kimberley had a permit to cull 30 deer.

Lee said the community has also been supportive, coming forward with prizes and auction items for the event.

She reiterated that curling skills won’t be a necessity.

“You don’t have to curl, we’re just hoping

you’ll come out and find that curling is fun,” she said, “like going bowling for the first time.”

The event is Saturday, Feb. 22. Registration is $160 per team and the deadline for registration is Monday, Feb. 17.

New yoga studio focuses on athletics and strength Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

There’s a new yoga studio in town that aims to challenge participants in physical and athletic yoga sequences.

Krista Birch opened Glow Yoga and Wellness Studio in Cranbrook back in September.

Birch’s studio specializes in Ashtanga yoga, a style which highlights shoulder and core strength building, as well as intense sequences.

“I don’t teach traditional Ashtanga, which is the exact same every single time,” she said. “I set it in the same sequence, but change the poses everyday. If you went to a Hatha or a Moksha class it would be completely different; they have a different sequence than I do.”

She said she enjoys how disciplined the style is. The style is based on a specialized sequence of postures and focused breathing techniques. There is of course a beginners class.

Birch said the reception has been awesome in Cranbrook.

“I actually didn’t think it would take off as fast as it did,” she said.

“I’ve had full classes and some not that full. I’ve had 22 people in the class.”

The first Saturday of every month she also holds a Karma class, where participants can pay with a food bank item or a donation to the chosen charity, which this month was

Bellies to Babies.

Birch said it was her sister in Calgary who got her started in yoga, to help with stress relief, and she fell in love with it.

“Then she talked me into getting my certification,” she said. “Not a lot of people get to do what they love, so I’m lucky.”

Birch is originally from Cranbrook and was happy to be back.

She pursued a post-secondary education in Vancouver, then moved to Calgary, where she began practicing yoga. She is now a certified yoga instructor.

About yoga, she said the physical, mental and spiritual benefits are so far-reaching that it should really be part of physical education at school and used more in the business world.

She said the sequences may seem daunting to beginners, but with practice the benefits will come.

“It is an ancient art and the benefits are well documented,” she said, adding those benefits include improved flexibility, muscle tone, balance and improved concentration.

She holds various classes, including a kids class for ages 5-8. She said that kids also feel stress, so it makes sense to have a yoga class for them as well.

The studio is located in the Tamarack Centre.

Leafs choose Team Blue, just for the halibut CONTINUED from page 1

The cooks were split into two teams: the white team and the blue team. The leaders of each team got to choose their teammates. While Danielle was picked last, she said she was just happy not to be on the obstinate Dale Kuda’s team.

“It’s true, I did not want to be on Dale’s team. I think everyone can see what I see; he’s a dramatic individual.

He’s not exactly a team player, and that is not who you want as a captain!” Danielle said.

She was actually pleased to be picked last, Danielle went on.

“It’s not about when you are picked. It’s about the team you end up on.

I was very happy to be on Pino (Di Cerbo’s) team! I knew we’d all work well together, and that Pino would put trust in us to execute a dish. It also made it clear to me that they underestimate my abilities. In this competition, it’s okay to be underestimated. It’s not a bad thing to stay off your competitors’ radar.”

Each team was asked to cook a fish dish and a pasta dish. While the white team struggled

with deboning trout and finessing a herb pesto, the blue team sailed through with Danielle’s poached halibut.

“Overall, our whole team was extremely happy about how our team cooked.

It’s true that our team worked like a well-oiled machine. We were extremely happy with how things went,” said Danielle.

And indeed, so did the feasting Maple Leafs, with the majority choosing the blue team’s meal as the winner of the challenge.

That meant that Danielle was safe from elimination this week and has made it through to the top 13.

“This experience so far has been amazing,” she said. “It has brought so much more to my life.

It opened up my passion for cooking more than I ever knew existed. I always thought that MasterChef Canada was the ultimate goal for a home cook. It’s still surreal that I am a part of this amazing experience. I’m starting to realize that MasterChef Canada has a real impact on its viewers, and it has opened Mark Jonathan Mahovlic 1991 - 2014 It is with heavy hearts we mourn the passing of Mark Jonathon Mahovlic, who leaves his dear parents, Jon and Mona, and loving sister, Mara. He passed in his sleep the morning of February 7, 2014 and is now in peace.

Born in Vancouver, September 21, 1991, Mark grew up in Cranbrook and graduated from Mount Baker Secondary School in 2009. In the fall of 2010 he moved to Calgary to pursue a Bachelor of Computer Information Systems at Mount Royal University. Making friends wherever he went, Mark’s bright smile and open heart were traits that described him best.

A young man with a wide variety of skills, Mark found his passion in hockey, golf, drafting and woodwork, computers and technology at a young age and excelled; his favourite pass-time was designing his dream golf course. A gentle giant, Mark was always there for people who needed a friend or helping hand.

Mark is survived by his parents, Jon and Mona Mahovlic, sister Mara Mahovlic, along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

A Celebration Of Mark’s Life will be held at The Heritage Inn and Convention Centre on Saturday, February 15 from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. An informal ceremony will start at 1:00 pm.

A scholarship program has been set up. In lieu of flowers we ask those wishing to make a donation in Mark’s memory to do so to the: Mark Mahovlic Memorial Scholarship Fund, c/o Cranbrook & District Community Foundation, PO Box 242, Cranbrook, BC, V1C 4H8.

The white team – with the exception of Dale Kuda who saved himself – was forced to cook to save themselves in the pressure test. They were asked to cook raviolo al uovo, a complicated fresh pasta stuffed with an egg yolk that must be runny when the

pasta is cut open.

The challenge proved too much for Brooke Feldman, who was eliminated from the series.

Meanwhile, back home in Cranbrook while the series airs, Danielle Cardozo is continuing her culinary career with two upcoming projects.

As well as preparing a

dish from MasterChef every Monday night at the Heid Out, where she works as a sous chef, Danielle is also collaborating with Dave Bohati of Market Restaurant to prepare a multiple course dinner at his Calgary restaurant on March 23.

“Dave is a part of an initiative called The

Syndicate. It’s a group of extremely talented chefs across Canada who have dedicated themselves to mentoring young chefs. I have been blessed to have him to turn to for culinary advice. I am honoured that he’d invite me into his kitchen,” said Danielle.

She also said that we should stay tuned for

another project she is working on with Cranbrook’s Genex Marketing.

“I’m not going to say too much at this point, but it’s definitely something I am excited about.

More will be announced in coming weeks!”

AVALANCHE DANGER

Change in the weather makes perfect storm slab conditions BARRY COULTER

The East Kootenay has been labouring under the frigid temperatures that come with an extended high pressure system.

The good news is, the high pressure systems that have dominated the weather for the past four weeks are being pushed out by advancing Pacific air masses. Temperatures are rising, and the backcountry beckons for recreationalists.

But be warned: the weather that entices us out into the mountains is also perfect avalanche weather.

The Canadian Avalanche Centre is warning that the avalanche danger rating for the Purcells, the Lizard Range east of Cranbrook and the South Rockies has jumped to considerable to high this week.

“We have a definite change in the weather pattern here,” said Stephanie Lemieux, a forecaster with the Avalanche Centre, based out of Revelstoke.

“One system after another is going to be coming through the province and hitting the region with a significant amount of precipitation, with some strong winds, and also the temperatures are going to be warming up, but not enough so we’ll see rain.

“So lots of snow, lots of load from the wind and all that good stuff is sitting on some weak surfaces that were created with the past cold temperatures we’ve had.”

With the expected significant snowfall over the next few days, the Avalanche Centre said widespread storm slabs are developing. The slab of new snow on top of an underlying weaker layer has created unstable conditions. And with all that load on the snowpack’s surface, Lemieux said, the snowpack is going to try to find its balance.

“And for sure we expect quite a bit of natural avalanche activity.”

The avalanche bulletins released Monday said “thick and touchy windslabs will also develop in the lee of southwest and west winds in the alpine and at treeline. Loose avalanches are also a concern on all aspects, at all elevations. Be sure that your plans allow for a safe exit from the backcountry as increasing snow and strong winds quickly increase avalanche hazard late in the day.”

Backcountry skiers, snowboarders and sledders should be wary of the dangerous conditions on mountains across much of southern B.C.

“It’s a little bit more than the usual cautions at this time,” Lemieux said. “We’re going to have some high avalanche danger coming. Slopes will just avalanche on their own, and go quite far into the run-out zones.

Your normal precaution is not enough. People will pretty much have to stay out of areas that they may usually go.

“We’re not saying ‘don’t go out,’ at all, but people are going to have to select some really safe terrain outside of avalanche terrain. And if people don’t have training or avalanche gear, maybe it’s a good idea to not go at all.”

Snowpack in the Purcells The Avalanche Centre advised that in the Purcells, “just underneath the settled storm snow and raggedy old wind slabs lies a significant weakness composed of large surface hoar (widespread in most sheltered and shaded areas at all elevations), a sun crust on south facing slopes, faceted grains (in colder areas or areas with a thinner snowpack), or a combination of the above.

“This variable weak layer is expected to become a problem early next week when precipitation once again graces the province. The rest of the snowpack

is generally well consolidated.

“In isolated areas where the snowpack is thinner or in steep rocky features a facet/crust weakness near the ground remains a concern. In most places the depth of this layer combined with the strength of the overlying slab makes triggering an avalanche unlikely. However, if you were unlucky enough to find a weak spot the consequences could be deadly serious.”

Snowpack in Lizard Range The new snow is sitting on a variety of weak layers such as surface facets, on a new surface hoar layer in sheltered areas, or on windslabs in the alpine. The bond of the new snow with these surfaces is expected to be poor. Don’t let the powder excitement get in the way of safe decision making. It is good time to make conservative terrain choices and to reduce your exposure to avalanche terrain.

“25-50 cm below these layers exist another surface hoar or suncrust layer that was buried late in January. Recently this layer has not been very reactive and seems to be very localised, however, yesterdays skier triggered avalanche proved that it is still present and triggerable at treeline.”

The dream from Premier Ridge “The business of life is the acquisition of memories … and making some up.”

From Downton Abbey Last week I had this strange conversation with Fish, who has been tottering around on the very rim of his competence ever since I’ve known him.

I found him one morning when I went outside to check the mail; he was standing there on one leg like a lonely heron on the edge of a dismal swamp. My front garden didn’t look all that bad, but Fish does that to scenery.

He said, examining the sole of one boot, “I’ve found her.”

“Who?” My mind was on the bills, especially the nasty one from Visa.

“The woman I met on Premier. She was in the store yesterday.”

Now I must explain: Fish has been going to AA meetings recently. He’s not an alcoholic, but he reckons that prevention might be better than a cure.

“Remind me,” I said as I stood aside and let him stumble through the doorway into the warmth of the house, where he slumped on the stairs.

Last fall Fish had told me that he’d been dreaming about being up on the top of Premier Ridge, up behind Wasa Lake, and having this woman come up and sit down

near him. In his dream, he said, he’d been having a nap in the warm sunshine when he’d become conscious of this woman approaching. He’d watched her and waited for the rest of her party to catch up. She was very good-looking, long blond hair, Fish assured me, and she sat down quite close to him but said nothing.

I think that Fish has dreams that parallel his real lonely life. He doesn’t have any luck at all with real women; they’re a mysterious breed.

Fish’s mother, for examPeter ple, after marrying Jack Warland Ebert and producing a child, called the boy Hal; not a brilliant idea.

“So you’ve now seen her, this woman you dreamed about?” I said as I stuffed the bills back into their envelopes and tried to forget about them.

Fish nodded. “She’s gorgeous, younger than I remember. She works in a lawyers’ office, downtown.”

I sat down too; sorting dreams from reality is an onerous task with Fish.

He’d told me about the dream when we were walking in the Pickering Hills; I probably wasn’t listening too well but I do remember Fish babbling on about this woman arriving on the top of Premier Ridge and Fish trying to make conversation, and having no luck.

The woman seemed to be lost in the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

dream and she had no idea where she was or why she was there. This whole business had befuddled Fish even more than usual so, when the woman finally took off, he tried to follow her, maybe help her, but she disappeared.

Naturally, not knowing which way was up, he worried about her but, no matter how many times I reminded him that it had been a dream, Fish was determined to find the lady and sort out her problems.

Now he claimed to have seen her downtown where she works in a lawyer’s office.

“How d’you know all this?” I asked.

“Follow her, did you?”

“I was in the check-out line at the store and I saw her ahead and chased after her in the parking lot, but she took off.”

I didn’t blame her.

“So I asked Monica, behind the front desk, if she knew her and she did and she said she works in a law office. I’m trying to find out which one.”

“And get yourself put away, you idiot,” I snapped. “You only dreamed her. She doesn’t exist. Anyway, a woman that works in a lawyers’ office isn’t likely to have been wandering around dazed in the hills.”

Fish thought this over, shrugged, then admitted. “Nah! The one I saw in the store was probably the daughter of the old bat up on Premier.”

Fish is the only one that can explain things satisfactorily to himself; this fact keeps him happy.

KIMBERLEY CURLING CLUB

Buchy rink finishes fourth at provincials TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

For the second straight year, the Buchy rink finished in fourth place at provincial playdowns, falling short in the three-four playoff quarterfinal over the weekend in Vancouver.

Despite a tough start, the team—consisting of Tom Buchy, Fred Thomson, Dave Toffolo and Darren Will—peaked on Friday with three straight wins that put them into playoffs.

However, their opponents, led by Jason Montgomery out of the Duncan Curling Club, curled very well on the way to a 9-1 win to end the Buchy run.

“They get up three after the first end and just couldn’t get it back,” said Buchy. “It was just one of those games where no matter what you do, nothing seems to go right.”

The Montgomery rink eventually lost to John Morris in the final, who won the right to represent B.C. at the Brier men’s national curling championship.

It was a bit of a roller coaster to start the provincial championship on Wednesday, with a 10-4 loss to Neil Dangerfield out of Victoria, before rebounding with a win at the same score

In their only draw on Thursday, the Buchy rink was defeated 8-2 by Grant Dezura out of Maple Ridge after giving up a devastating four points in the fifth end.

However, their luck seemed to change on Friday, as they rattled off three wins in a row.

“We had a great Fri-

day, the guys played fantastic, had a few breaks and just overall, played really well that day,” said Buchy. “…We managed to get on a roll, we won three in a row, beat DeCap, Joanisse and Yamada to qualify [for playoffs].”

It started with an 8-5 win over Kamloops’ Scott DeCap, as the Buchy rink scored a tri-

ple in the final end to pick up the win.

Next up was a 8-6 defeat of Dean Joanisse, representing the host club, as the Buchy rink led 7-6 in the eighth end—stealing a single in the ninth to wrap up the draw.

Also out of Kamloops, a team skipped

by Brent Yamada fell to the Buchy squad 10-4, with the Kimberley crew

scoring triples in the third, fifth and eighth ends on the road to victory.

That win streak was enough to put them into the playoff running.

“Your goal is to make the playoffs, but ideally, the one-two game is great, because it gives you two lives, but making the playoffs, you know you’re in there,” said Buchy.

The Kootenay Ice extended their win streak to six games, beating the Warriors 3-1 on Wendesday night in Moose Jaw. In addition to their sixth straight win, the Ice have also won 10 of their last 11 outings, which has helped them climb up the Eastern Conference standings, where they currently sit in fifth place—one point outside of fourth.

Ice captain Sam Reinhart led the way with a pair of goals and an assist, with Jaedon Descheneau notching the other goal for the Kootenay offence. Torrin White responded with the lone marker for the Warriors on the power-

play.

Mackenzie Skapski got the call in goal, making 34 saves for the win, while Justin Paulic turned away 35 shots in defeat for Moose Jaw. Both teams capitalized once in four chances with the man-advantage.

Despite the win, Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill said the team nearly blew it near the end of the game.

“I think we were excellent in the first period, we were excellent in the second period, and we absolutely did not show up in the third period,” McGill said.

Just one minute into the game, Reinhart and Zach Franko combined to get the puck to De-

scheneau, who wired his 36th goal of the season past Paulic for a quick 1-0 lead.

Reinhart’s assist on the play officially extended his point streak to 14 games.

In the middle frame, Kootenay went on a streak of four uninterrupted powerplays, scoring on their second chance with the man-advantage, when Reinhart redirected a

hard pass from Descheneau for a 2-0 lead.

However, the tide turned in the final frame, as Kootenay took their turn to parade to the penalty box, with Moose Jaw getting four straight power plays.

The Tribe capitalized on their first chance with the man-advantage, as a shot from Torrin White deflected off an Ice skate and into the net.

Though Moose Jaw pressed hard late in the game for the equalizer, Reinhart found the back of an empty net in the final minute to seal up the win.

In addition to picking up WHL Player of the Week on Monday, Reinhart was also

named the CHL Player of the Week on Tuesday. As part of the recognition, the CHL cited his goal and four assists against the Blades last week, along with his three-point performances in both games against the Lethbridge Hurricanes this past weekend.

Kootenay now heads to Regina for a tilt against the Pats on Wednesday night.

NOTES: Ice sniper Tim Bozon left the game in the third period, however, McGill is hopeful that he will get back into the lineup for the rest of the road trip.

Ice forward Ryan Chynoweth returned from an upper body injury after missing six games.

Canada up to nine medals so far at Sochi Games C ANADIAN PRESS

Reinhart leads Ice 3-1 over Warriors TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2014

SOCHI, Russia - It’s becoming quite common to see two Canadian flags rising together at the Sochi Olympics.

For the third time at the Games, two Canadians found themselves on the same podium.

Freestyle skier Dara Howell won Canada’s fourth gold medal Tuesday with a dominating performance in the women’s slopestyle event, while teammate Kim Lamarre was third.

With a pair of 1-2 finishes in men’s and women’s moguls already in the books, Canada totalled their previous high of three double-podium finishes from the 2006 Turin Games. And there are 12 days of competition left to break that record.

“I think that’s the best run I’ve ever done in my entire life. The course just worked for me today.

I could not be happier.”

Dara Howell Slopestyle gold medallist Howell’s winning run earned a score of 94.20, well ahead of the 85.40 posted by silver medallist Devin Logan of the United States.

“I think that’s the best run I’ve ever done in my entire life,” said Howell, who was cheered on by a vocal, red-clad contingent that included her parents.

“The course just worked for me today,” the native of Huntsville, Ont., added. “I could not be happier.”

The two medals give Canada a total of nine (four gold, three silver, two bronze). That’s four more than at this point at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

Norway leads Canada atop the medal standings with 11 (four gold, three silver, four bronze). The Netherlands is third with eight.

Lamarre, from Que-

bec City, continued an impressive run from Quebec athletes at these Games. Athletes from the province have contributed six of Canada’s nine medals.

While Canadian freestyle skiers have been dominant at the Games, it was a tough day for Kaya Turski.

Turski, who came back from a knee injury to win her fifth Winter X Games title last month, crashed on both her training runs.

Turski showed amazing grit in popping her shoulder back on the course after her first fall.

It was also a painful day for sixth-place Yuki Tsubota of Whistler, B.C., who was stretchered off the course and taken to hospital with a suspected jaw injury from a tumbling crash-landing.

Canada almost added to its medal totals in women’s luge, but Alex Gough and Kimberley McRae just missed the podium, finishing fourth and fifth respectively.

Gough’s finish is the best ever by a Canadian luger at the Olympics, but the Calgary slider was in no mood for silver linings after the race.

Also on Tuesday, Jennifer Jones and her Winnipeg rink continued to roll in women’s curling, while Brad Jacobs and his foursome from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., struggled.

Jones curled a perfect game as Canada remained undefeated in round-robin play after a 9-3 victory in eight ends over Sweden.

Jacobs fell to 1-2 after a tough 7-6 loss to world champion Sweden.

In figure skating, Meagan Duhamel from from Lively, Ont., and Eric Radford of Balmertown, Ont., were fifth in pairs after the short program.

Kirsten Moore-Towers of St. Catharines, Ont., were Dylan Moscovitch of Toronto sixth.

All four skaters already have a medal for helping Canada win silver in the first ever team event.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A restriction appears that could cause anger if you can’t get past it. Don’t get emotional; instead, transform the hassle. Solutions will come up in a meeting. Trust in your ability to find a resolution. What was an obstacle could become a key to the solution. Tonight: Midweek break.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make calls early in the day, as you tend to be most effective in the morning. In the late afternoon, you might want to work from home or head out early.

You will feel best in a situation where you know what is a given. Avoid an exchange of anger.

Tonight: Take it easy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Handle a financial matter in the morning, when you feel more focused. By the afternoon, details might become much less important, compared with the quality of your relationships in a different area of your life. Curb your temper. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be more in tune with a situation if it is emotional. Resist starting a fight with a friend in order to keep the bond intact.

In the late afternoon, deal with a loved one directly. You actually might be far more possessive than you realize. Tonight: Treat a friend to munchies.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be dragging in the morning, but you will be a veritable force to deal with by the afternoon. You’ll recognize that you are on a roll, and you won’t want to stop. Your impulsiveness could make the day a lot more fun for you and your friends. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you have to schedule a meeting, do so in the morning. You might need to head in a different direction in the afternoon.

You could have several important conversations that could carry a lot of meaning. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others will be very aware of you, to such an extent that you

Tundra

might be somewhat embarrassed. Consider the options that surround an important life goal. You might want to rethink your path. Don’t make finances a bigger deal than they are. Tonight: Where the fun is.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might not realize the extent to which you have held yourself back. You also might cast criticisms on others without intending to. Sometimes you make snap decisions or quickly spurt out words without thinking first. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A relationship could be building in importance. Do not make any commitments right now; instead, continue to process and work on your relationship.

This bond could be professional or personal. Sometimes you restrict yourself in unnecessary ways. Tonight: Kick up your heels.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be dealing with an internal struggle, but others observing you never would

know. You relate with authority in an easygoing way. As the day grows older, you might want to let others run the show, as long as you have confidence in them.

Tonight: Dinner for two.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Get through what you must in the morning. A special opportunity to expand your inner circle might emerge. Take advantage of this! You will be able to throw yourself completely into whatever you are doing. Tonight: Be a social butterfly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Use the morning for any major creative project that heads your way. Your ingenuity could become a star feature in your interactions. In the afternoon, you might be more in the mood to run errands that seem rather menial. Tonight: Get as much sleep as possible.

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: We live in a small rural community where sports help keep the kids off of the streets. My 14-year-old son loves sports. He is well-rounded, makes excellent grades and has good friends. This year, he is again on the school basketball team, but he is the only one who sits on the bench. He doesn’t say much, but I can tell he is discouraged. While the team has a couple of “stars,” most are at the same skill level as my son.

His mother is so upset about this that she wants to go to the school board. Someone mentioned that my son is being punished because he missed a practice during Christmas break. He told his coaches ahead of time that he would be gone. Before the break, he played about one minute per game. He hasn’t played at all since.

Should parents step up to the coaches and risk further “punishment”? This is his first year with these particular coaches. Are they just testing him? Why would such terrible treatment make him want to play next year?

-- Upset Dad Dear Dad: Some coaches believe this type of punishment is a test of a player’s resolve -- a “take it like a man” mentality. We think it is ill-advised, particularly at the high school level, and discourages kids who are not into macho mind games. Some schools give coaches complete autonomy over the sports programs, but this can lead to all kinds of abuses. Before getting involved, however, we urge you to discuss this with your son. While he undoubtedly appreciates your support and concern, he may prefer to handle this in his own way, and we hope you will respect his decision.

Dear Annie: Will you speak to my wife of 30 years? She has many wonderful attributes, and I love her. She is, however, late for everything. Our families and friends learned to accept her tardiness for social engagements. But I cannot abide being late for church every week. With all eyes upon us, we must edge past everyone in order to find a seat. I hate doing this after the service has started.

We live only 10 minutes away, so I can’t understand why my wife isn’t ready on time.

Even if she doesn’t care about herself, I am humiliated that she has so little regard for me and the people we have to climb over every week to reach a seat. It puts me in the wrong frame of mind for church.

I’ve told her this is important to me, but she scoffs and does the same thing the following week. Will you please tell her to get ready on time? -- Losing My Religion Dear Losing: Some procrastinators simply have difficulty with organizational skills, and nothing will change if they aren’t willing to work on it. But we think your wife enjoys the attention she gets by arriving late to social functions. Since church is a particular issue, we strongly suggest you attend separately. Arrange transportation if necessary, and then go on your own so you can arrive on time. And save a seat for your wife.

Dear Annie: I have some input for “Only Child in Massachusetts,” the 70-year-old woman who stated it was beneficial to be the only child.

I have three sisters. Growing up was a challenge. We had to share clothes, bathroom time, telephone time and other luxuries. We fought like cats and dogs, but we learned the value of sharing, laughing and communicating in ways only siblings can.

Growing up, I sometimes wished I were the only child. But now I would not want it any other way. My sisters and I are very close and talk to each other daily. Do we still fight? Yes, but instead of hitting each other on the arm, we phone and laugh about it.

The relationship we have is treasured and special. -- Middle Sis Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

She married Jerry Voss In 1944 and had 2 children in Holland, a son Martin and a daughter Jolly. In May of 1950 they immigrated to Canada settling in Ontario where they had 2 more children, another daughter Diana and another son Byron.

After moving to Manitoba for a number of years, they moved to Cranbrook in 1968 making this their permanent home. Lil loved playing cards, bridge, carpet bowling, lawn darts and many other games with friends and family.

You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.

PLAN DESIGN

When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

N

ewspapers are not a medium but media available for everyone whenever they want it. They are growing and evolving to meet the consumer’s interests and lifestyles and incorporating the latest technological developments. This is certainly great for readers and advertisers.

SOURCE: NADBANK JOURNAL SEPT/08

Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.

Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.

Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.

In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast.

Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.

When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Call today and start advertising.
