Man reported missing is found C A R O LYN G R A N T A N D B A R RY CO U LT E R

A Kimberley man missing since leaving High River, Alberta, en route back to Kimberley, has been located.

High River RCMP issued a press release thanking the public for their assistance, and noting that Ernest Davis had been found and was being transported to hospital.

“As a result from a tip, called in by an area rancher, the Crowsnest Pass Search and Rescue sent out snowmobiles and located Mr. Davis,” the release said. “His vehicle had left the road on Highway 40 or what is also know as the Forestry Trunk Road, north of Blairmore, Alberta.

“At this time (3:24 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 10) he is being transported to the hospital for an examination.”

Kimberley RCMP and their partners in High River, Alberta had continued with a comprehensive search for a missing man Tuesday.

ERNEST DAVIS On February 9, the High River RCMP were made aware of a missing 67 year old male from Kimberley.

Cranbrook fraud case adjourned to March TOWNSMAN STAFF

A Cranbrook woman facing fraud charges had her case adjourned till March on Tuesday morning as she seeks a private accountant.

The charges, including Fraud over $5,000 and Theft of $5,000, were announced by the RCMP last October, after a business reported that a longtime employee had been stealing money by alleging that she had been paying herself for hours and duties not actually performed.

In total, it is alleged the accused defrauded her employer of approximately $360,000 over the course of

her 14-year tenure with the company.

In October 2014, Cranbrook RCMP arrested a 54-year-old woman after a two-year investigation where members worked in conjunction with forensic accountants, accountants from the victim business, as well as the RCMP’s Provincial Commercial Crime Unit based out of Vancouver.

According to court records, Kimberley Burgess made her first appearance in Cranbrook Provincial Court on Oct. 6, 2014, to face one charge of Theft over $5,000 and one charge of Fraud over $5,000.

The toilet rebate program has been a significant part of the City’s overall water conservation education program since it began in 2010. The program was designed to help get the large volume toilets out of use and have them replaced with low flush or dual flush fixtures.

In turn, it meant a reduction of the amount of water the City’s sewer system needed to deal with on a daily basis.

“The rebate program has operated quite successfully over the past five years, something we’ve been really happy about,” says Chris Zettel, Corporate Communications Officer for the City of Cranbrook.

“The reality is we’ve seen a slower uptake of the rebates the past two years and our costs to advertise the rebates to the public has increased during that same period. We felt it was just time.”

“I want to thank everyone who has taken advantage of the rebate program,” Zettel says.

“I also want to thank the Regional District of East Kootenay and the staff at Cranbrook Transfer Station who helped us ensure the old toilet fixtures were disposed of properly.”

City staff is exploring other opportunities to initiate another rebate type program with a focus on reduced water use likely for 2016 or 2017.

Imagine a movie without any music behind the action.

Bet you can’t! Can ya?

Who can imagine “Jaws” without that deep bass rumble? Or the march of the Imperial troops in Star Wars?

Or the music which seemingly lifts Elliott’s bike across the face of the moon in E.T.? Or the heroic music which accompanies Superman’s flight? Or the love themes for Superman and Lois Lane or Leia and Han Solo?

The music makes the scenes come alive, and even just to hear the music flashes the film across the screen of the mind.

That’s what happened for over 500 people at the Key City Theatre last Saturday night.

The Symphony of the Kootenays’ third concert featured the music of John Williams, along with a couple of classical pieces which have also been well used in the movies.

The program highlighted Williams’ gift for writing the big melody which undergirds the action on the screen.

From one of his early movies, “The Cowboys” (1972) to the eerie soundscape of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” to the threatening rumbling of “Jaws” to his more mature output, Williams has a knack for writing tunes which are instantly memorable and quickly identified with their particular characters. To try and imagine these movies without the music is vir-

tually impossible. The music, by itself, is powerful and has the ability to flash pictures in the movie theatre of the mind.

The orchestra played with verve and enthusiasm, with large brass and percussion sections to bring the music to life. Five percussionists, including three Mount Baker students, added rhythmic vitality to undergird Williams’ melodies.

The program also included the haunting “Adagio for Strings” by Samuel Barber, which was used to such striking effect in “Platoon”, and the opening movement of Mozart’s “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik”, which is the most often used piece by Mozart in the movies.

The Symphony’s final concert will be held on April 11, with music

by Rossini, Robert Schumann and Beethoven. Be sure to get your tickets for that concert now—it promises to be a great one.

Finally, one of Canada’s musical greats will be in Cranbrook. Rivka Golani, internationally acclaimed viola player, will play on March 25 at the Royal Alexandra Hall in a performance of the Octet by Franz Schubert and the Septet

by Beethoven. When she was here last year, she electrified those who heard her with not only her exceptional talent, but her deeply felt spirit and love for the music. Get your tickets for both concerts from the Key City Theatre.

Forum will highlight building code changes Arne Petryshen

Tonight, building officials from the City of Cranbrook and the Regional District of East Kootenay will be providing information on the new BC Building Code regulations at a forum.

Tracy McGuire, City of Cranbrook Building Inspector, said the forum is aimed at providing information to contractors within the East Kootenays. She said the changes are on a wide parameter and came into effect Dec. 19, 2014.

“It affects most of the dis-

ciplines in the construction trade: framing; insulators; electricians; wood stove installers — everybody,” McGuire said.

She added that the meeting is more for contractors than the general public, with the exemption of people who are building a house.

“It’s only for new builds,” she said.

McGuire said the forum is about making the changes more straightforward for those involves in building construction.

“The province changed

the way the regions are divided in British Columbia, so there’s been a change in our energy requirements in our zone, which is a newly created climatic zone,” she said.

The changes to the energy requirements deal mostly with ventilation and insulation.

“The changes will be affective on any building permit that was received after Dec. 19, 2014,” she said.

“That’s fortunate because we don’t really have any new single family dwellings in yet — it’s our real slow season

for that now.”

She said there is a big list of things they will talk about.

“It’s all regarding energy efficiency requirements in new builds. There will be changes to the insulation requirements, changes to ventilation, and changes to the building envelope airtightness requirements.

There are also changes to the existing Radon mitigation requirements.

“We already employ that within the building code, but there are just modifications to that now,” she said.

She said the presentation about all of the changes will likely take about 40 minutes.

That will be followed by a question and answer period for the contractors to ask anything specific as it pertains to them.

McGuire confirmed the event is free and added that there will be donuts.

She said one of the reason they are putting on the forum is that, while there were some seminars put on by the Building Officials Association in December, they cost hundreds of dollars to at-

tend.

“The changes affect so many disciplines of the trades, so we decided we would do this just to get information out there,” she said.

Handouts will also be available for people to pick up.

The forum will take place in Cranbrook on tonight, Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Manual Training School, located at 1212 2nd Street North next to the Cranbrook Public Library.

Teck reports no local tailings pond issues

T r e vo r C r aw l e y

In separate letters to RDEK board members, Teck reported that there are no high-priority or stability issues at any of Elk Valley operations or at the Sullivan Mine

site.

After the disaster at Mount Polley where a tailings dam breach emptied mine waste into Polley Lake, the B.C. Chief Inspector of Mines ordered a review

of all tailings pond facilities in the province.

Teck Coal Limited conducted Dam Safety Inspections (DSI) at Elkview Operations, Greenhills Operations and Fording River Op-

erations, concluding in each case that there were no issues with their dam structures.

In addition to the DSI reports, other third-party studies included using a ‘worst-

KCA students serve community Submitted

A group of middle school students from Kootenay Christian Academy recently completed a week of service projects as part of their inaugural Service Week. Students had the opportunity to become familiar with local char-

ities and service organizations, lend a hand and learn new skills.

“It was lots of fun to see how much we could bless the community by helping out,” said Robyn Pocha, a Grade 8 student at KCA. They sorted clothing and

food donations, helped out on construction projects, completed yard clean-up, house work, and snow shovelling, and hosted a tropical vacation-themed seniors’ tea.

Partnering organizations and programs included the Salvation Army, Bibles for Mis-

sions, Abundant Life Pentecostal Assembly, and Better at Home.

“These students love to serve, and this was a great opportunity for them to go out as a group and interact in the community,” said Dawn Hildebrandt, a KCA teacher.

sponse planning is done to the most comprehensive and thorough level possible,” wrote Nic Milligan, the community and government affairs manager for Teck, in a letter to RDEK board member Mike Sosnowski.

“At the same time, it is important to note that the reports indicate that a failure of this kind is extremely implausible, given the extensive monitoring and safety measures in place at each operation.”

Currently, the DSI reports are under review by the government and will be made public sometime this month.

In light of the Mount Polley disaster, Sosnowski is pleased with the effort Teck made in their review of Elk Valley operations.

“Teck Coal keeps local government very well informed on everything and everything that’s going on,” said Sosnowski. “They return our calls, any questions that we have, they’re a very good corporate partner in the Valley.

“After Mount Polley, [I was] just very pleased to see Teck do what the

government told them to do, but that the results of the testing were very positive.”

While no longer in active mining operation, there are still active tailings pond at the Sullivan Mine, however, a separate DSI report indicated that there aren’t any safety or stability concerns for the 14 earthen dams that make up six tailings impoundments at the site.

Like the Elk Valley report, a third-party study of a ‘worst-case’ scenario featuring a hypothetical breach was created to develop emergency response plans and environmental consequences.

“The dialogue has been great, very open,” said Kimberley mayor Don McCormick.

“We’re completely satisfied with the report. In the whole remediation over time, Teck has kept in close conversation with us, there are no surprises and it worked out really well.”

DSI reports are conducted annually, and detailed Dam Safety Reviews are conducted by a third-party engineer once every five years.

EK snow pack at 80 per cent of normal

Publications of the Caribbean

The Lost Pirate Library a book about pirates, treachery, intrigue; it has taken over 300 years to be published, and it may or may not be true.

‘Piratas y Contrabandistas de Ambas Indias, y Estado Presente de Ellas’ (Pirates and Smugglers of the East and West Indies, and the Present State of those Regions) was written by Francisco de Seyxas y Lovera, a man who had quite a career.

Born in 1646, Seyxas spent his adult life as one of Spain’s most formidable sea captains.

He commanded both military and commercial ships, fighting and trading his way all over Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. For three decades he was Spain’s go-to person for all things nautical, which, even though he was highly critical of the Crown’s behaviour in the New World, earned him numerous royal decrees.

He was also good with a pen, publishing ‘Theatro Naval Hidrographico’ in 1688, and ‘Descripcion Geographica, y Derrotero de la Region Austral Magallanica’ in 1690.

Seyxas had written both books in New Spain (Southern Mexico), having settled there to retire. In 1694 he finished writing ‘Piratas y C o n t r a b a n d i s t a s ,’ which, for some reason, was never published. In fact nothing more is known of this title until

BOOKNOTES

Mike Selby 1909, when the handwritten manuscript appears in a rare book catalogue in Germany. It was purchased by the Hispanic Society of the Americas in New York the following year, and sat buried on a basement shelf for another 100 years.

So what happened?

It appears that Seyxas’s continued criticism of the Spanish Crown did not go unnoticed.

His brief stay in New Spain was marked by half-a-dozen arrests, and constant harassment by royal officials.

Just after he finished writing ‘Piratas’, he was arrested again, and sentenced to a military prison in North Africa.

Seyxas escaped en route, eventually turning up in France. It is not too far a stretch to guess Seyxas left his latest work behind in New Spain during his escape. Even though he continued to write in France, he makes no mention of ‘Piratas’ is any of his official or personal letters.

And that is the least

see an unpublished manuscript at some time? If so, when and where?

This of course brings up the question as to whether or not Seyxas may have simply made up his sources. Scholars do not think so. Seyxas mentions the difficulty of finding many of the works he used, many which he did not have on hand. He quotes passages from memory, but he is always clear to mention when he is doing so. Additionally, he provides exacting details, naming not only the work and its author, but also the year of publication, page number, city of publication and the name of the printer.

A good example is the book about France’s attack on Peru, which he does not own, but names the French bookstore, from where he had previously bought 10 copies from, as requested by a member of the royal family.

What happened to these lost books? There is a good chance many of them were destroyed.

The Spanish Crown was more than happy to destroy books — especially foreign works — which they viewed as a security threat. This was also the time of the Inquisition — not really known for their tolerance of reading material in general.

It is hoped that at least some of Seyxas’ lost pirate library did indeed survive, sitting buried on a shelf somewhere.

Warm weather forecast to continue through to spring C A RO LYN GR AN T

The BC River Forecast Centre has released its monthly information on snow pack accumulation and, as one would expect after recent warm weather, snow packs remain below normal for almost the entire province.

In the East Kootenay, the snow pack is at 80 per cent of normal, although that will vary throughout the region as some areas received more of what snow did fall during January.

Temperatures across British Columbia continued to be well above normal through the month of January. Temperatures were generally 2-4°C above normal, with the largest temperature anomalies occurring in the Central Interior and northern British Columbia. January sea surface temperature anomalies in the Pacific Ocean off the shores of British Columbia have continued to be several degrees above normal.

January precipitation trends have been varied across the province. Vancouver Island, South Coast, and Kootenays experienced below normal precipitation. Above normal precipitation occurred in the Okanagan, Interior, Central Coast and Northwest BC. With increased temperatures, particularly on Van-

couver Island and south-west BC, rainfall was the dominant form of precipitation through mid-elevation terrain, the report says.

Vancouver Island, the Lower Fraser and Skagit Basins have received the least amount of snow with Skagit having only 12 per cent of average accumulation and the Island, 33 per cent.

Two-thirds of the province’s annual snow pack has usually been accumulated by this time of year and the report concludes that it is unlikely snow packs will recover significantly unless there is much higher than normal precipitation,which is not forecast.

The report says the outlook for the rest of the winter is for more of the same, weather-wise.

Warm Pacific Ocean temperatures and weak El Niño-like conditions are expected to persist into the spring. These will likely drive continued warmer than average temperatures, particularly along coastal sections of the province. Environment Canada is forecasting a high likelihood of above normal temperatures over the February to April period across British Columbia.

This means low flows will persist throughout the summer especially in areas where the snow pack is 40 percent less than normal.

Missing man found Continued from page 1 Ernest Davis left a residence in High River at approximately 2 p.m. on February 8 to travel back to his residence in Kimberley.

Davis, believed to be be travelling through Crowsnest Pass, had not been heard from since departing High River.

Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel said

Tuesday morning — prior to Davis’ being located — that the search had been ramped up.

“The call did go into High River first but the family resides here in Kimberley,” Newel said. “It’s always better that the family have a contact here that they can talk to in person, so we are taking a more active

strangest thing about this book.

The 2010 publication of ‘Piratas’ brought to the world the earliest known Spanish language writing on maritime piracy — predating all other works by 50 years. It also gave scholars an incredibly detailed bibliography of sources; ones which no one has ever heard of it, or have been found to exist.

What is now being called “the lost pirate library” is a list of 30 ‘foreign works’ (not in Spanish) which Seyxas cites but nobody can find. Most of these lost books hint at some fascinating works. One is about the history of a lost settlement, founded in Chile by a group of English peers fleeing from Charles II. He cites this work as being printed in Bristol in 1683, but so far this title — as well as this colony — remains lost to history.

Seyxas also discusses a 1665 attack on Peru

by France, this time referring to two separate sources. This failed attempt was led by someone named Estienne de Toledo, whose published journal Seyxas quotes from. This attack, person, and journal remain unknown.

One of the most puzzling references is to Carlos Enrriquez Ckrelck’s ‘Derrotero Y Diario,’ which wasn’t published until 1695 — a full year after Seyxas wrote his book. Did he

Don’t make eye contact: Keep talking “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.”

Philip K. Dick “I am fascinated (by the idea of Sasquatch). I would love them to exist.”

Jane Goodall, famous researcher among chimpanzees in Africa

“If

the two of us can agree on too many topics, one of us isn’t thinking,” he pronounced.

I wasn’t in the position to debate that statement. He’d appeared this time, brushing himself off, under the giant fir tree in my garden; he’d apparently spent the night there. I asked, “Reckon this weather is due to global warming?”

He stretched; he is enormous but I tried not to back away. He grumbled, “What was the last time you slept out under a tree in mid-winter?”

“Why don’t you migrate south?”

“I am. I was on the Arctic coast all summer. No nice dark nights; I couldn’t sleep.”

He yawned, a cavern filled with pointy teeth.

“Keep the conversation going and back up slowly,” I urged myself. “Try not to show fear.” I asked,”Were you bothered by polar bears. In fact, do grizzlies bother you?”

He possibly grinned. “Is that likely?”

Quickly I asked, “What do you eat? You carnivorous?”

“Omnivorous, so I do fancy a Big Mac when I can scare one up. What’s for break-

fast?”

I shivered. I could just visualize him ‘scaring up’ Big Macs, the way he must have obtained those running shoes and that ridiculous cap that he had perched on the top of his pointed head, but I merely said, “Oh! The usual bowl of cereals …”

“Cereals! So, you’re not bothered by these stories about genetically modified grains and excess glutens, are you?”

I assured him that I wasn’t. At my old age, no glutens were going to bother me.

I’ve survived so far mixing up my diet by being omnivorous, although recently with a penchant for fries and seafood.

“You so-called homo sapiens — there’s a joke, sapiPeter ens — have penchants for new foods, genetWarland inventing ically modifying everything in sight and then worrying about what you have done.”

I knew I was getting yet another earful but I persevered, “Is everything you eat natural, except when you’re ‘scaring up’ Big Macs?”

That terrifying grin again; I foolishly stood my ground and said, “Do you have a wife, a mate? You know …”

“To cook for me?” The sarcasm temporarily shut me up, but I persisted. “When are the babies born? In spring?”

“You’re not smart enough to understand.”

“But, as far as I have ever heard, nobody has ever discovered the bones of your kind, or any remains, in fact.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

“Course not. We recycle rapidly and get it over with.”

I scratched my head. “But, as you tell me, the whole point of us being here is reproduce, right?”

“Right, but you humans are always delaying the process with rites and special ceremonies, putting off the inevitable. You are forever inventing gods and heavens and valhallas merely to satisfy your own silly egos. You imagine that some deity somewhere is looking after your puny interests as if you might be important. Be assured, you are not. As you yourself said, you are a product of nature and when you die, as in all nature, you are recycled. It is the species that counts until it become extinct. Your Descartes was feeling so smug when he said, ‘I think; therefore I am.’

None of you remembered that nature replied, ‘So what? Do your job. Multiply.’”

“I’ve done that.” Proudly.

“Then don’t hang about asking stupid questions.”

A neighbour lady walked by with two yappy dogs in tow, but not one of them seemed to notice me, still in a house-coat and jammies, standing shivering, talking to a monstrous Sasquatch. I began to hope that Squatchie and I were both invisible: my neighbours already believe that I’m crazy. I said, “Why didn’t that Mrs Zukrovski say something? Why didn’t those yapdogs bark at you, didn’t react at all?”

“The dogs probably have got more sense and she knows I’m not here.”

And suddenly, he wasn’t. Poof! He’d gone.

Lady Avs move into national rankings; men snap skid in big way Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

There was reason to celebrate on the volleyball court at the College of the Rockies this past weekend.

With a pair of straight-sets sweeps over the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades, the Lady Avs have moved into the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) national rankings for the first time in program history.

On the men’s side, the Avalanche snapped a seven-match losing skid with a pair of victories over the Cascades, pulling out of the PACWEST cellar and back into the PACWEST Volleyball Championship picture.

The CCAA announced its weekly national rankings Tuesday morning, with the Lady Avs rolling in at 14th in the country.

“We’re not even close to being at our peak,” said Lady Avs head coach Andrew Zurrin Saturday afternoon.

“The rookies, all they do

is keep getting better.

We can attack even better. They’re adapting well on a game plan.

“My vets can change from point to point. It’s still taking our rookies two or three points to say, ‘Right.’ When we get that and [the rookies] make changes from point to point, other teams aren’t going to stay with us.”

The Lady Avs have cruised to an astounding 7-1 mark since the calendar flipped to 2015 and are 11-9 this season.

The Cascades were the latest PACWEST squad to fall victim to the Lady Avs ascension.

Friday night, the Lady Avs trounced the Cascades 25-20, 25-18 and 27-25. Saturday provided more of the same as the Lady Avs maintained momentum, winning three close sets 25-21, 25-23 and 25-20.

“We stayed with our game plan, picked on their weaknesses and this had to be the most consistent weekend for every player on the court,” Zurrin said. “We

didn’t have one person that struggled. We could set everybody, attack from every position. We killed [the Cascades] in the middle and again, Kelsey [Thompson] dominated.”

Thompson, the veteran left-side hitter, led the Lady Avs with nine kills and contributed 13 digs Friday night. Saturday, the fourth-year business student and native of Vernon, crushed 20 of her team’s 36 kills.

Apart from moving into the CCAA national rankings, the Lady Avs played leapfrog with the Cascades, moving into fourth place in the PACWEST standings.

Refusing to be shown up by the ladies, the men’s squad took it upon themselves to enact some movement on their side of the PACWEST volleyball standings as well.

With a pair of wins over the Cascades, the Avalanche skipped past the Capilano University Blues into sixth place in the conference.

The Avs broke a sev-

Backbone Brouwer Goaltender guides Dynamiters from the blue paint Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Goaltenders are easily forgotten all too often.

Hockey’s masked men between the pipes are, arguably, the bravest and most courageous of all hockey players -stepping in front of booming slap shots and standing their ground even when hundreds of pounds of humanity come barreling towards their crease.

Sunday afternoon may not have been the busiest of outings for goaltender Tyson Brouwer, but a 17-save shutout in a 9-0 victory over the Grand Forks Border Bruins provided opportunity to recognize the backbone of the Kimberley Dynamiters success this season.

“He’s just such a character guy,” said Nitros captain Jason Richter Sunday afternoon in between signing autographs for adoring fans.

“He’s a solid goalie, but I

think what’s best about him is after the game, he thanks everyone. He thanks all the players for getting the shutout. He’s just that kind of guy.

“He’s going to carry our team. All teams need an MVP goalie if they want to go far in the playoffs.”

Brouwer, a 19-yearold native of Lethbridge, is in his second season with the Dynamiters.

After serving as backup to Jeremy Mousseau during the 2013-14 KIJHL campaign, the 5-foot-11 puck-stopper took over the reins this season and has been a different-maker for his club.

In 36 games, Brouwer has gone 24-9-2 with a 2.39 goals-against aver-

age (third in the KIJHL) and 0.912 save percentage. His 24 victories rank second in the league, behind only Lawrence Langan (25 wins) of the KIJHL’s top-ranked Osoyoos Coyotes.

“I care more about a win than a shutout, obviously,” Brouwer said Sunday. “Like I said to the guys, I couldn’t have gotten the shutout without them tonight. It’s 9-0 and they’re still blocking shots, so I give credit to the team for that one.”

To say Brouwer has been the workhorse for the Nitros is an understatement. Only three goaltenders in the KIJHL have played more minutes than Brouwer, who has spent 2,113 minutes in the Dynamiters crease this season.

Sunday’s shutout was Brouwer’s second of the campaign and the victory marked eight in a row for the Dynamiters, as they try to pin down second place in the Eddie

en-match skid, earning their first win of the 2015 portion of the schedule with a 3-1 victory (2225, 25-15, 25-10, 25-18) Friday night.

“I think they forgot what winning was about,” said Avs head coach Steve Kamps Saturday afternoon. “We’ve played some good matches this half of the year and, unfortunately, just come up a little bit short against Douglas [College] and last weekend against [Columbia FriDay, Feb. 6 Bible College].

Mountain Division.

At the other end of the rink, the Dynamiters put nine pucks past Grand Forks Border Bruins goaltender Jacob Krupp.

Richter tallied one of the nine markers and set up two others, pulling into a tie for the KIJHL scoring lead with Osoyoos Coyotes for-

ward Aaron Azevedo at 66 points.

“He’s a great guy.

He’s obviously skilled, everybody knows that,” Brouwer said of his captain. “But he’s the heart and soul of this team.

“I don’t know if we could really do it without him.”

Friday night, the Nitros sent a message by

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might feel as if you’re unstoppable, on a certain level. Others will be observing your responses to different situations. Examine what is happening with a key project.

You might think you know, but verify just to be sure. Tonight: Use your imagination well!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Maintain a low profile, and be more of an observer and listener in various situations. You might be somewhat combative or difficult toward someone with whom you work closely. Understand how much frustration you seem to be swallowing. Tonight: At home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Maintain your focus, and you will succeed in accomplishing exactly what you want. You

could feel as if someone is stepping on your turf. There are many ways to handle this issue, so consider what you want from this bond before taking action.

Tonight: Zero in on what you want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Many people feel that you are driven, and in many ways you are. Be careful with spending, as you could be eying an expensive purchase for a loved one. You might decide to go ahead with it anyway, but take note of how this will affect your budget. Tonight: In the moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are emotional in general, but you also have a strong intuitive side that encourages your creativity. This combination will emerge today, and it will allow you to move through a situation with ease. Tonight: Think “vacation plans.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married to my husband for 10 years. A couple of years ago, I started conversing via Facebook with “Kevin,” whom I have known since grade school.

We briefly dated in high school, but I broke up with him.

A mutual friend passed away, and I called Kevin a few times to offer support. We spoke about the old days and our fellow schoolmates. I also shared photographs of myself and my home and a few personal thoughts.

Kevin gave me constant compliments.

My husband found the text messages and pictures on my phone. There was nothing flirtatious, although Kevin had mentioned that his girlfriend only made time for sex when he was flush with cash.

My husband has blown the whole thing out of proportion and has accused me of cheating. He made a similar accusation when I went to visit my mother back home. He says it’s cheating if a woman talks to another man on the phone when her husband isn’t home.

I don’t feel as though I cheated in any form, but now all my husband does is accuse me.

I didn’t want Kevin when I was younger, and I don’t want him now. I just want to be friends and talk to him now and then. Can you help? -- Ever Faithful Dear Faithful: Your husband seems overly suspicious, but part of the problem is that you were talking to Kevin without his knowledge, and this seemed secretive. If you have nothing to hide, your husband should know when you are talking to Kevin. You should willingly show him all texts, emails and Facebook messages. Right now, we suggest you limit contact with Kevin because he is a sore subject to your husband. Assure your husband that you will be more open, so he has less reason to worry. Include him in all conversations with male friends, and ask him to do the same with his female friends.

But if he continues to accuse you, there is more going on, and it’s time to get professional counseling.

Dear Annie: I have a good friend whose company I enjoy immensely. But when we go out to lunch or dinner, he never washes his hands. I’ve mentioned to him that washing his hands prior to eating protects him from picking up germs (even E. coli). Instead, he tells me that not washing his hands builds up resistance to germs. Am I being germaphobic, or is he being irresponsible? Germ-Free Dear Germ-Free: Hands should be thoroughly washed before eating and after using the bathroom. Germs from unwashed hands can be transferred to other objects, such as dining room tables, and are then transferred to another person’s hands. Such transferable germs can cause diarrhea and respiratory illnesses, which are common consequences of not washing one’s hands. Whether or not it boosts his immunity is highly debatable, but it certainly puts others at risk.

Even if your friend remains healthy, he could easily transfer those germs to you or to anyone who uses the table when he is finished. Out of consideration for your health, ask him to wash his hands before eating.

Otherwise, we recommend you stop joining him for meals.

Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “A Nonsmoker,” who complained about the smell of smokers.

I take public transport every day, and some people don’t use deodorant, and others suffer from halitosis. So to Nonsmoker, who obviously smells like roses, we are not perfect. I have been trying to quit smoking for a year, so gimme a break. Go smell yourself.

Frances Eileen Kary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Franâ&#x20AC;?

1922 - 2015 Frances Eileen Kary passed away peacefully at Joseph Creek Care Village on Friday, February 6, 2015.

Fran was born in Cranbrook on January 21, 1922. She was the only daughter of Elmer and Lillian Carver.

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.

Vatican may be asked to repeal Papal Bulls on ‘heathen’ aboriginals Chinta Puxley Canadian Press

Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission is weighing whether to ask the Vatican to repeal the Papal Bulls of Discovery that granted 15th-century explorers the right to conquer the New World and the “heathen” aboriginals that called it home.

Chair Murray Sinclair says the commission examining the impact of Canada’s Indian residential schools is looking carefully at the 1455 and 1493 Catholic edicts as part of its final report.

Many argue the proclamations legitimized the treatment of aboriginal people as “less than human.” Crown sovereignty in Canada can be traced back to those papal bulls and neither Canada nor the United States has repudiated them, Sinclair said.

“The movement to repudiation is very strong and is moving ahead,” Sinclair said in an interview. “If we as the commission are going to join that movement or endorse it ... we have to come to a conclusion that it’s necessary for reconciliation, to establish a proper relationship between aboriginal and non-aboriginal people.”

A growing chorus in Canada is calling on the Vatican to help begin a new relationship with aboriginal people on equal footing.

The discovery bulls, and others in the same vein that followed, gave Catholic explorers “full and free power, authori-

ty, and jurisdiction of every kind” and outlined their “duty to lead the peoples dwelling in those islands and countries to embrace the Christian religion.”

If aboriginal people refused, the Vatican granted its envoys the authority to enslave and kill.

If the commission recommends the bulls be rescinded, Sinclair said, it has to weigh the legal implications, which could strike at the core of Crown sovereignty over land.

“What would be the basis for rationalizing Crown sovereignty if the Doctrine of Discovery is no longer available?”

Sinclair said. “We have to consider that question and perhaps give some direction about how that relationship can be re-established in a proper way ... on a nation-to-nation level.”

The United Nations appointed a special rapporteur in 2009 who found the bulls lie “at the root of the violations of indigenous peoples’ human rights.” The edicts have resulted in the “mass appropriation of the lands, territories, and resources of indigenous peoples,” the UN found. They also form the legal basis of many modern-day land claim disputes, it said.

Keith Matthew, former chief of Simpcw First Nation in British Columbia, has been quietly building support in Canada for their repeal.

He recently got the support of the Assembly of First Nations, which

passed a resolution at its December meeting endorsing the revocation of the bulls.

It’s about hitting the “reset button on our relationship,” Matthew said.

“The papal bulls put us in a position no better than animals,” he said.

“We know better today.

We’re just as civilized and human as anyone else in this world. It’s really about righting a his-

that aboriginal people are not human and further recognized aboriginal title to land.

“Unless there was corresponding action, it would seem kind of hollow.”

VICTORIA - The B.C. government’s throne speech Tuesday trumpeted the economy as a buffer against oil-price declines hurting other economies but muted previous bold forecasts of a liquefied natural gas bonanza for the province.

However, the speech did not include any estimates of future LNG plants after Premier Christy Clark said last month that B.C. remains on target for three liquefied natural gas facilities by 2020.

Lt.-Gov Judith Guichon said in the speech that LNG is still a generational opportunity with the potential to create 100,000 jobs.

In 2011, the government’s jobs plan forecast “one LNG pipeline and terminal in operation in Kitimat by 2015 and three in operation by 2020.”

Clark said in January that many energy companies interested in B.C. as a potential LNG investment are re-examining their bottom lines as energy prices drop, but she remained confident about three B.C. export plants.

Black Press files

Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon’s duties include reading the speech from the throne to begin the spring legislature session.

Guichon said the government has worked to ensure that B.C. is globally competitive, and a secure place to do business.

“Global companies have already invested more than $7 billion to pursue their proposed projects, and they continue to undertake the work necessary to bring these projects to life.”

Guichon said B.C., with its growth in forestry, mining, tourism, ag-

riculture, technology and natural gas sectors, is better protected against economic declines currently being faced by oil-dependent jurisdictions.

“Today, provinces with oil-based economies and indeed our federal government are forced to respond to the sudden fiscal impacts,” she said. “We are fortunate in B.C. that we have a diverse economy and the people, working in

diverse sectors, to build our future.”

B.C. will join an exclusive club this month by delivering what will likely be the only balanced budget among Canada’s provinces, Guichon said.

But she did not mention possible changes to social-services payments suggested last week by Finance Minister Mike de Jong, who said a larger-than-forecast budget surplus

gives the government some room to move on targeted initiatives.

De Jong is set to deliver the budget next Tuesday.

Guichon also said the government plans to establish a Medal of Good Citizenship to recognize British Columbians who make extraordinary contributions by volunteering their time, money and talents.
