C A R O LYN G R A N TOpposition to the pro-
vincial announcement of a wolf hunt conducted by he-licopter to reduce numbers in order to protect the en-dangered mountain caribou population in the Selkirk mountain region has been
swift to arrive. The Ktunaxa Nations
says it is deeply concerned about the plan.
“We are worried that this approach to conservation is extremely hasty,” said Kath-ryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Na-tion Council Chair. “We are
deeply concerned about the very low numbers of cari-bou in the south Selkirk, but we believe that manage-ment efforts should focus on increasing the popula-tion of caribou. Wolves are not the primary cause of the caribou population decline
in the region and killing wolves at this scale will have to continue for many years to effectively reduce the risk of wolf predation. Killing one species of animal to benefit another species is contrary to Ktunaxa stew-ardship values.”
Teneese says the caribou may be better served by a multi-faceted approach which includes restriction of access to and restoration of key caribou habitat, de-creasing vehicle mortality and establishing breeding programs, including mater-
A R N E P E T RYS H E NCity council authorized
the City’s Public Works de-partment to complete re-habilitation work on Cran-brook’s three deep ground-water wells at the Jan. 14 budget meeting.
The move allows city staff to allocate $70,000 from the Water Fund Ac-cumulation Surplus to complete post-rehabilita-tion testing on the three deep wells. Part of the funds will also be used to undertake Environmental Assessment Certificate Amendment which will allow the deep wells to be used more frequently. The wells could only be used under specific circum-stances which lead to them not being used and requiring the rehabilita-tion.

quires cooperation and commitment from all partners in Ktunaxa terri-tory. We support monitor-ing of predation impacts, however, we strongly feel that these actions are a narrow and short term ap-proach.
“Recovery planning and long term manage-ment of these caribou re-quires strong commitment to collaboration and adap-tive co-management of the herd.”

Derek and Pat Spring of Northstar GM are providing critical sup-port for intensive care with a spectacular show of generosity to EKFH. Hitting the roads this week is a brightly deco-rated Chevy Trax donat-ed by Northstar for the foundation to use during its fundraising effort to raise $1,000,000 for equipment for the new Intensive Care Unit currently under con-struction at the East Kootenay Regional Hos-pital.
The highly visible ve-hicle is an effective communications mech-anism to highlight the ICU Redevelopment Project as EKFH makes
presentations, and at-tends event and donor recognition activities throughout the East Kootenay. The show of support for raising the awareness of the ICU campaign has also seen significant support from GENEX Marketing in the concept design and Selkirk Signs in the decaling of the vehicle.
Donna Grainger, EKFH Executive Direc-tor explains, “There are simply no greater words than thank you that can truly show how much EKFH appreciates this amazing gesture of sup-port. Derek and Pat have blessed us with a gift that will ultimately play a huge impact in the fundraising of this
very important project.” EKFH is working in
collaboration with Inte-rior Health to bring the best in quality health care and services to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. EKFH’s fund-raising campaign to purchase essential equipment for the ICU allowed the Ministry and KEHRD to reallo-cate funds for pediatric and nursery improve-ments as well. The ICU Redevelopment Capital Campaign for ICU equipment will be EK-FH’s focus for the next 15-17 months.
Donations for the ICU can be made at your local hospital or health care facility, on-line at www.ekfh.ca or

ronmental assessment certificate which gov-erns operations of the wells prohibits the city from operating the wells in the absence of a significant problem with one of the public surface water sources.
“The permit has spe-cific statements in it as to the nature of any problem that would exist — in the absence of those problems exist-ing, the city is unable to operate the wells,” Mc-Gowan said. “So what we’re looking for is the opportunity to amend the permit.”
Mayor Lee Pratt noted that to his under-
standing it was the lack of use that caused the wells to fail.
“Does the amended permit allow us to use them on a regular basis to prevent that from happening?” Pratt asked.
McGowan noted that it would.
Pratt also noted that the process of doing all the work first was a bit like putting the cart be-fore the horse.
“You have to do all this work and then hope you get the per-mit,” Pratt said.
McGowan said it is a provincial matter that puts the work before the permit.
“The province needs specific information in order to approve the permit - it’s not unlike building a car and then making application for licence. You build the car, present it for in-spection and someone can say nope.”
McGowan said the likelihood of that hap-pening is low because they have gathered suf-ficient information to prove the nature of the original permit coun-terproductive.
The $70,000 comes from the Water Fund Accumulated Surplus which was $1,388,344 as of Dec. 31, 2014.

Tre vor Cr awleyA couple times a day,
traffic gets a little hap-hazard around Mount Baker Secondary School as students stream into the building while crossing the street from the Safeway parking lot.
With student safety in mind, the Southeast Kootenay Board of Edu-cation (SD5) is writing a letter to the City of Cranbrook to request a flashing pedestrian light, similar to the one at the intersection of Victoria Ave. and 4th St.
“We’re concerned about student safety, that’s our main con-cern,” said Frank Lento, the SD5 board chairper-son. “We need a joint partnership in getting that matter resolved.”
After many years of safety concerns, a cross-walk with raised flash-ing lights was installed at the Victoria Ave inter-section in an effort to cut down on pedestrian accidents.
In order for the SD5
Board to move forward, there will have to be joint meetings with the city to explore what op-tions are available. At the last board meeting on Jan. 13, trustees were nominated to serve on various municipal com-mittees.
“We haven’t had a joint meeting with them [the city]. That could be a step — they have vari-ous committees that they’ve just requested representation and we’ve nominated some trustees to various com-mittees,” said Lento.
“…So we’re just wait-ing to see what the re-sponse would be. It’s a concern for us. We know our secondary students, but neverthe-less, if there were flash-ing lights, at least it’s a step in the right direc-tion. It would help.”
Once the SD5 trust-ees can meet with their municipal counter-parts, that’s when the real discussions can begin on how to address
traffic safety at the Mount Baker crosswalk.
“Those Cranbrook trustees would be tak-ing that matter ahead and if we can get to a meeting to see what it’s going to cost,” contin-ued Lento. “I know it’s bottom-line all the time. What’s the cost? What’s it going to cost? But lets see what it’s going to be.”
At the same SD5 meeting, the board also passed a motion to ap-prove an increase in In-ternational Student Fees to $21,850.
Lento said the in-crease was pretty mini-mal and in line with what other school dis-tricts across the prov-ince have done.
“We review those an-nually and it’s not that significant, it’s just a few hundred bucks. It’s just to be consistent with other districts our size,” said Lento.
“We want to ensure that we’re not subsidiz-ing international stu-

dents, the taxpayers are not subsidizing interna-tional students. In this regard, their fees, they make a contribution to our schools and to our students.”
Charlotte Osborne, Finance and Computer Services Officer, said that they are two sepa-rate tasks, but both needed to be done or the city would face the same problem a few years down the road.
In the accompany-ing report staff noted that Cranbrook’s water supply come from the Joseph Creek and Gold Creek Watersheds, both of which feed into Phil-lips Reservoir. A single 760 mm diameter water main several kilometres long connects the res-ervoir to the city’s dis-tribution system. So if something were to hap-pen to the surface water, or should the main break, then the city will be reliant on the deep groundwater wells, which is why they are needed.
The three deep wells were built in 2001 and are quite deep at over 90 metres each.
Joe McGowan, Di-rector of Public Works, said the existing envi-

Further doubts about the wolf cull come from the North-ern Lights Wolf Centre, headquartered in Gold-en. Director Sophie Parr says that not only is the helicopter hunt cruel, the reasoning be-hind it has no basis in science.
“Whole packs will be chased by helicopters until they are exhaust-ed, and then shot under the guise of recovering dwindling caribou herds in the South Sel-kirk and South Peace areas,” Parr said. “Cari-bou are in this situation because of us, not be-cause of wolves. The province has allowed energy and recreation industries to destroy critical caribou habitat, facilitating predation by wolves which would otherwise be less able to access remote caribou herds.
“This choice is sci-entifically unsound,” Parr continued. “This is not the first time aerial gunning and steriliza-tion of wolves has oc-curred in BC. All past efforts have failed to in-crease caribou num-bers. Similar efforts to protect caribou in Al-berta resulted in almost 1,000 wolves being killed, and research shows that it is not enough to render cari-bou populations viable in the long-term.
“Wolf populations rebound quickly and dispersing wolves fill in the vacant space creat-ed following wolf re-moval — the killing
Wolf cull opposed by Ktunaxa, Wolf Centremust continue on tax-payer dollars for many decades until habitat recovers naturally.
Parr added that most caribou herds live in multi-predator envi-ronments that also sup-port bears, mountain lions, wolverines and lynx — focussing on re-moving a single type of predator will not be ef-fective.
“This is a question of animal welfare,” Parr said. “In recent decades we have learned more about the true nature of wolves as emotional and intelligent beings, and their unique and beneficial impacts on biodiversity. Are we as a society prepared to spend the next thirty or more years gunning down families of wolves? This practice is not an approved meth-od under Canada’s cur-rent guidelines on Ap-

proved Animal Care. “This is an expen-
sive, short-sighted ap-proach to caribou re-covery. Hiring
sharp-shooters and fly-ing them around re-mote B.C. in helicopters in order to destroy en-tire wolf packs will take
hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars. It is morally indefensible that taxpayers are pay-ing for the government’s
neglect of wildlife. “Do B.C. residents
want their money spent on helicopters, or eco-logical restoration, edu-
cation, health care, etc.?”
The governments Wolf Management Plan, implemented in April of 2014, allows for mea-sures such as targeted aerial wolf removal in support of caribou pro-tection for circumstanc-es exactly like those oc-curring in the South Peace and South Selkirk herds, says background information from the Ministry of Environ-ment. While the plan at the time said there were no plans for an aerial cull, it does not rule it out.
“The risk of remov-ing the number of wolves recommended is very low, whereas the risk to pertinent caribou populations of doing nothing is very high.”
The most recent esti-mates put the number of caribou in the south Selkirk region at 18 in March of 2014.

Army’s Soup Kitchen program will be the recipient of a signif-icant and sustainable contri-bution thanks to a generous gift spanning three years an-nounced by the East Kootenay Community Credit Union (EKC) last week.
EKC has announced it will endow $3,000 per year for three years to the Salvation Ar-my`s fund held with the Cran-brook and District Communi-ty Foundation (CDCF). The first contribution was made in October 2014 and the final contribution will be made in October 2016.
“East Kootenay Communi-ty Credit Union is committed to community and we are so pleased to contribute this $9,000 gift over three years,” says George Freitag, Chair of ECK’s Board of Directors. “EKC plays a vital role in our community through not only our financial contributions but also by bringing awareness to important community pro-grams like the Salvation Ar-my’s Soup Kitchen. This is cer-tainly a cause we are proud to support through the sustain-able endowment funding model made possible by the Cranbrook and District Com-munity Foundation.”
According to Riley Wilcox, Executive Director with the

CDCF, the East Kootenay Community Credit Union’s fund benefiting the Salvation Army was one of the first funds ever to be endowed with the Cranbrook and Dis-trict Community Founda-tion. “East Kootenay Credit Union showed community leadership when they en-dowed $10,000 in 2004 when the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation was
just getting started. For EKC to add to this endowment 10 years later shows their com-mitment to the sustainable difference that can be made to charities in partnership with local community foun-dations.”
“We are extremely pleased with the support that we have received from the East Kootenay Community Credit Union,” said the Salvation
Army’s Captain Kirk Green For EKC to increase the fund which benefits the Salvation Army by a further $9,000 will help us to ensure the needs of Cranbrook residents are addressed through the car-ing and compassionate ser-vices we provide locally. We can’t thank them enough”.
East Kootenay Credit Union is challenging the community to get involved
and they call upon all local financial service providers to meet or exceed their model of investing in sustainable funding for local charities.

Letters to the editorMissing Canada
Do you remember when people from many countries put Canadian flags on their backpacks when traveling? Every-one wanted to be seen as Canadian be-cause being Canadian allowed safe travel all over the world.
Things have changed. Now not even Canadians are necessarily willing to plas-ter their luggage with the flag like we once did. Canada’s reputation on the world stage has changed significantly and we have Stephen Harper and the Conserva-tive government to thank for that.
Do you know what thought keeps coming to mind these days when I think about this country? I want our Canada back!
Canada used to be recognized for helping to keep the peace. Canadian troops were very good at it, and we were respected around the world for our lead-ership in bringing people together. Now it seems like we go to war whenever certain nations ask us to.
Not only are we putting our sons and daughters in harms way, we are com-pounding the problem by treating our re-turning soldiers very poorly. It is heart-
breaking to see how the Conservative government treats our veterans.
Years ago I made the commitment that I would not complain about an issue un-less I was willing to do something about it. I miss the Canada that I love and cherish, and I am concerned for its future. I know many of you feel the same way, and with the upcoming Federal election, we are going to get the chance to do something about it.
Let’s get our Canada back.

Originally pub-lished as ‘Kinder- und Hausmärchen’ (Children’s and Household Tales), they are known today in the En-glish-speaking world as ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales.’ The tales collected and organized by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are more popular today than ever (simply check one’s local movie listings), and continue to be the most translated text in history next only to the Bible.
Yet the brother’s story is al-most as mythic as their collec-tion.
Jacob and Wilhelm were the oldest of nine children, being raised in a large spa-cious home on the edge of for-est in Northern Hesse. Their father practiced law for diplo-mats and princes, while their mother stayed at home to raise the children with her numer-ous servants. All this changed in 1796, when Jacob and Wil-helm’s father died suddenly at age 44. The Grimm family found themselves destitute, liv-ing on handouts and relying on a variety of kind relatives for shelter. After three of the younger children perished, a distant aunt took them in, en-suring the children continued in school.
Jacob and Wilhelm were ex-tremely bright, and both were accepted into the University of Marburg Law School. Jacob went alone though, as Wil-helm’s health was too poor. It was at Marburg were Jacob de-veloped an intense interest in Germany’s ancient past. At the
time, there was no Germany to speak of. The nation was split up into hundreds of principali-ties, governed more or less by half-a-dozen separate states, often at war with each other. Napoleon had also invaded, and German roots were being replaced by French culture.
All this combined with his chronic worry about his family caused Jacob to quit school and return home. He took vari-ous jobs to support everyone, but spent every single second of free time working on ancient German literature with his brother Wilhelm. Together they created what has been called their ‘grand plan,’ which
was the recovery of “oral and an-cient written sources of Ger-man legends, a n o n y m o u s epics, chapbook stories, folk songs and vers-
es in older forms of the lan-guage.” While the greatest side-effect of their life’s work were the fairy tales, the more important aspect at the time was nationalism. A common literary past was seen as the best bet to united Germany as a single country.
In this, the Grimms were not alone. Between the 17th and 19th centuries a type of lit-erary arms race had exploded across Europe. It was seen that main qualification to be recog-nized as a country was to have ancient tales to back it up. Elias Lonnrot made the case for Fin-land with ‘The Kalevala’ ; Den-mark’s N.S.F. Grundtvig pro-duced ‘Danske Folkevisor’ and the ‘Nordens Mytologi’ ; Ire-land’s Thomas Croker’s ‘Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland’ ; and Snorri Sturluson’s ‘Prose & Poetic Edda’ for Iceland. (England, to
quote a famous literary histori-an, “couldn’t have cared less.”)
No one could do this better than the Grimms though, espe-cially Jacob. His ability to read Old German, and to recognize exactly when and were a word’s sound shift had occurred, made him a linguistic genius without peer. There still is a ‘Grimm’s Law’ used today which identifies Germanic words in Indo-European lan-guages. The brothers com-bined their talents to launch the first phase of their work, the collection of the very oldest and orally passed down folk-tales.
The tales which come down to us today as ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ do indeed take place in enchanted forests, small cot-tages, and giant castles. Most of the stories feature nameless characters—a princess, a frog, a king, a stepmother, a witch, etc. It is more than comforting to know that the very first edi-tion of their book begins with “Once upon a time…”.
Yet none of these stories
came from the peasant class; nor did the Grimms travel any-where to get them. The tales came from the wealthy and ed-ucated aristocracy, whom came to the Grimms to tell them the tales. The majority of the sources were highly literate females, who as often as not mixed up French folklore with German. This is why ‘Puss ’n’ Boots’ appears in the first edi-tion of ‘Grimms Fairy Tales,’ but is removed from all future ones. Also many of the fairy tales come from other books, albeit very old manuscripts.
None of that should take away any of the mystery, won-der and delight generations continue take away from them. The ageless tales of “Little Red Riding Hood,’ ‘Snow White,’ ‘Hansel and Gretel,’ and ‘Cin-derella’ continue to help give meaning to the lives of children and adults alike.

Everybody knows where the popula-tion explosion came from. Two cen-turies ago birth rates and death rates
were high everywhere, and population growth was very slow. Then clean water, good food and antibiotics radically cut the death rate – and the human population of this planet increased 300 percent in the past 90 years.
Eventually, as people moved into the cities and big families were no lon-ger an advantage, the birth rate dropped too. The world’s population is still growing, but it will only increase by 50 percent in the next 90 years. So far, so ob-vious. But what’s happening to the human lifespan is equally dramatic.
Here’s the key statistic: the average human lifespan in a developed country has been increasing at three months per year ever since the year 1840.
Everybody assumes that lifespan grew much faster in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and is growing much slower now. But no. It has plodded along at the same rate, adding about three months to people’s life spans every year, for the past 175 years. And yes, that does mean that a baby born four years from now can expect to live, on average, a whole year longer than a baby born this year.
There have always been some people who lived to seventy or eighty, but the AVERAGE age at death in 1840 was only forty years. By the year 2000 it was eighty years. That’s forty more years of life per person in 160 years.
AND LIFESPAN IS STILL INCREAS-ING AT THE SAME RATE. In Britain, for example, the average lifespan has in-creased by eleven more years in the past
forty-four years. Three months per year, just like in the 19th century.
This is why actuaries predict that ba-bies born in the year 2000 will have an average lifespan of one hundred years. Give those babies the eighty years of life that people who died in 2000 enjoyed,
then give them an extra three months for every one of those eighty years – and they will have twenty years more years to live. That is, an AVERAGE of a hundred years.
This sounds so outland-ish that you instinctively
feel there must be something wrong with it, and maybe there is. The fact that it has gone on like this for 175 years doesn’t necessarily mean that it will go on forever. But it’s not stopping or even slowing, so the smart money says that it will continue for quite a while yet
What about the developing world? Most of it has been playing catch-up, and by now the gap isn’t very big any more. In China the average lifespan was only for-ty-two years as recently as 1950 – but then it began increasing by SIX MONTHS per year, so that the average Chinese citizen can now expect to live to seventy-five. Once you hit an average lifespan of seven-ty-five years, however, the pace slows down to three months per year, the same as in the developed countries.
India is a little behind China: average lifespan was still forty-two years in 1960, and is now sixty-eight, so it’s still going up at six months per year. But we may expect to see it fall to the normal three months per years in about 2030, after the average Indian lifespan reaches seventy-five.
All the developing countries of Asia, Latin America and the Middle East are in
the same zone. The sole exception is Afri-ca: where 35 countries have average life spans of 63 years or lower. But even most African countries are seeing a slow growth in average lifespan.
So do we end up with a huge popula-tion of people so old they can barely hold their heads up, let alone eat solid food? Probably not.
Three hundred years ago Jonathan Swift wrote about people like that in his satire “Gulliver’s Travels”. Struldbrugs, he called them: people who could not die, but went on ageing until they were so de-crepit and disabled that death would have been a mercy.
They were declared legally dead when they reached eighty, as otherwise their longevity would mean they ended up owning everything. But they weren’t real-ly dead; now it was the public that had to support them for the rest of their in-terminable lives.
In real life, crippling diseases and dis-abilities are still mainly a phenomenon of the last decade of life, and as the lifespan lengthens that final decade also moves.
Demographers now talk about the “young old”, who are in their 70s and 80s and still in reasonably good shape – and the “old old”, in their 90s and 100s, who are mostly frail and in need of care. So the time is probably coming when people must work until into their 80s, because the over-65s will amount to a third of the population. No society can afford to sup-port so many.
But by then people won’t be decrepit in their 80s. And the only alternative is dying younger.

Zak Zborosky (above) and the Kootenay Ice came home with two of three wins on a Saskatchewan road trip this past week, but dropped a stinger to the Saskatoon Blades Saturday night.
Tale of two teamsKootenay Ice win in Prince Albert; frustrate in Saskatoon
Taylor rocc aSports Editor
Inconsistency contin-ues to plague the Koote-nay Ice. After splitting the final two games of a weekend road trip through Saskatchewan, the Ice cling to the sec-ond and final wild-card slot in the WHL’s Eastern Conference.
Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill liked what he saw Friday night in a 5-2 victory over the Prince Albert Raiders.
But 24 hours later in a 3-2 loss to the Saska-toon Blades, it was a dif-ferent story.
“We did a real good job Friday,” McGill said Sunday afternoon. “Sat-urday, we seemed like a disinterested hockey team.
“The level of consis-tency from everybody just wasn’t there. Unfor-tunately, we’re rolling here behind the eight ball. We’re going to have to get moving. Every point matters right now.”
Through 45 games, McGill and the Ice hold a three-point cushion and two games in hand
on the Moose Jaw War-riors for the second and final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Friday in Prince Al-bert, the Ice used a four-goal outburst in the third period to break a 1-1 tie en route to a 5-2 victory over the Raiders.
Luke Philp opened the scoring in the first period and started the third-period onslaught.
Zak Zborosky scored what stood as the even-tual game-winning goal, while Ryan Chynoweth and Jaedon Deschene-au piled on to make it 5-1 for the Ice.
Import forward Simon Stransky tallied late in the period for the Raiders to round out the scoring.
Raiders goaltender Rylan Parenteau faced a barrage of shots, turning aside 38 of the 43 pucks directed his way by the Ice. At the other end, Wyatt Hoflin was steady in making 28 saves for his 22nd win of the cam-paign.
Rookie forward River Beattie opened the scor-ing Saturday in Saska-toon, tallying his third of the season late in the
second period.After Josh Uhrich
knotted the game less than five minutes into the third period, de-fenceman Nolan Reid followed up 64 seconds later to give the Blades a 2-1 advantage.
Captain Sam Rein-hart, who registered two assists in Friday’s win over Prince Albert, pulled the visitors even with less than three minutes remaining in regulation.
While the goal was a big one to provide his club with a shot at over-time, it was also the 287th point of Reinhart’s WHL career, catapulting him past Kootenay Ice alumnus Jarret Stoll to the top of the Kootenay Ice franchise scoring charts. (More to come on Reinhart’s achieve-ment later this week in the Daily Townsman.)
Unfortunately for Re-inhart and the Ice, the jubilation was short-lived.
Outnumbered one-on-two in the dying mo-ments of the third peri-od, Blades forward Wyatt Sloboshan skated into the offensive zone
before zinging a shot off the post and past Hoflin, giving his team a 3-2 edge with only 11 sec-onds remaining in regu-lation.
“You feel like you have the right people on the ice, defencemen in particular,” McGill said. “It looks like it’s one player coming through the neutral zone. Two defencemen have a total lack of commitment to playing hard against him [Sloboshan] and the guy took advantage of it.
“To me, in that re-spect, that’s embarrass-
ing.”McGill yanked Hoflin
in favour of the extra at-tacker for the final 11 seconds, but there wasn’t enough time re-maining on the clock as the Ice fell to the Blades for the second time in seven days.
For Blades rookie Brock Hamm, he stopped 26 shots to earn his second win in as many career starts, both coming against the Ice.
A week prior, the Ice dropped a 6-4 decision to the Blades at Western Financial Place, mark-ing Hamm’s first-career
WHL start and victory.The win boosted the
Blades to 12-29-2-1, pushing them past the Lethbridge Hurricanes (10-27-3-3) into 21st place in the WHL’s over-all standings.
The Kootenay Ice power play continued to struggle on the road this past week, going a com-bined 0-for-8 in three games through Sas-katchewan, after going 0-for-4 on home ice Jan. 9 and 10.
Under better circum-stance, a team returns home and has a full week of practice to work on areas such as the power play prior to see-ing its next action. That’s not the case for McGill and his squad as the Vancouver Giants visit Cranbrook Tuesday
night, before the Ice travel to Edmonton for a special 11:30 a.m. puck drop Thursday against the Oil Kings.
“It’s a fine line,” Mc-Gill said of the quick turnaround. “Our power play has gone south. Our penalty killing has been very much under average. When that hap-pens, you like to think you could get out on the ice and practice, but with playing 12 games in 23 days, you draw a fine line with rest.”
The Ice are five games into the 12-game stretch McGill referred to, having kicked things off Jan. 9 against the Red Deer Rebels. The heavy schedule wraps up Jan. 31 when the Kelowna Rockets visit Western Fi-nancial Place.

Dear Annie: For 10 years, my daughter has been in a relationship with a man from another culture. He is controlling, manip-ulative, arrogant and patronizing. He was raised with servants, nannies and drivers. Now my daughter fills those roles.
I limit visits to once a year because he never fails to make snide comments to me when he is sure my daughter cannot hear him. Once, I asked him what his intentions were toward my daughter, and he said never to question his authority.
After a recent visit, my daughter accused me of not being respectful and loving toward her partner. She said I am jealous of their wonderful life. This could not be further from the truth. I feel sorry for her. I don’t know how she endures his daily criticisms and verbal abuse. She constantly sings his praises as a good provider and father to their child. I know she is ashamed that he has re-fused to marry her, but this is probably cul-tural. She will always remain his mistress but never be an equal.
When I visit, I am polite and civil and thank him for his hospitality, but I do not express any love toward him, nor will I. But I want to remain in my daughter’s life and see my grandchild. I have kept quiet for years because I know it is my daughter’s choice, but I will not pretend. My grandma always said, “If you can’t say anything good about someone, don’t say anything at all.” Well, saying nothing does not seem to be working. -- Concerned Mother
Dear Concerned: One of the hardest things for a parent is to watch your child make a huge mistake and not be able to do anything about it. Your daughter is unwill-ing to leave this relationship. You cannot be expected to show love toward this man. Being polite and civil and thanking him for his hospitality is more than enough. Be care-ful, however, not to let your disdain show through. Simply tell your daughter sweetly that you are trying your best and you are glad she is happy.
Dear Annie: I read with great interest your column about the PNC Christmas Price Index for “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” However, no matter how I did the math, I couldn’t come close to your grand total fig-ure of $116,273.06. This takes into account that I didn’t know what the exact shipping total was. How did you do the math? -- DSH
Dear DSH: We received several letters from folks who were confused by the math, so we will explain it, even at this late date. First of all, the total should be $116.273.08. That last number was a typo on our end. But simply put, the gifts are cumulative. On the first day, she received one partridge in a pear tree. And the second day, she received two turtledoves and another partridge in a pear tree. The third day, she received three French hens, another two turtledoves and a third partridge, and so on. Done cumula-tively, there are 364 gifts, and the total cost is $116,273.08. At that point, we’d say the ship-ping is irrelevant. Here’s the last word on the subject:
Dear Annie: I just want to say thanks for your Christmas column. I did not know that it is possible to purchase lords a-leaping. I really wouldn’t know what to do with them, and at that price, I couldn’t afford them any-way. But I truly did LOL when I read it, and for that, I thank you. (P.S. I always buy my swans locally. The prices are much better.) -- S.
Dear S.: Thanks for letting us know you enjoyed the column. We appreciate your lighthearted response.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The unexpected is likely to play a role in your morning events. As a result, someone might be-come very controlling. Pressure continues to build, yet you’ll be able to dispel that heaviness through your sense of humor. Focus on one item at a time. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be willing to detach, especially if a situation seems off. A com-ment could trigger you to look at the matter objectively. You might be pushing yourself a little too hard. A friend is likely to present a problem, but know that some details are missing. Tonight: A must appearance.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be overwhelmed by everything that is happening. Deal with a loved one directly, and you will feel better. You might feel as if you are push-ing yourself too hard and as if others don’t seem to appreciate your efforts. Tonight: Spend some time with a favorite per-
son.CANCER (June 21-July 22)People know how to get you to react. You might not be sure about the outcome of a matter involving others because of de-tails that seem to be missing. Your creativity will open doors for you. Tonight: Defer to some-one else, especially if you are not sure of yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You’ll be on top of a situation, yet the unexpected might play a significant role. Listen to others carefully, because you or anoth-er person easily could misin-terpret a situation. Be careful when dealing with a controlling person. Tonight: Get some form of exercise.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Open up to new possibilities. Your logic might not be as strong as your intuition right now. You could be unusually vague without intending to. How you follow through on a major project will depend on new information. Tonight: Ig-nore the fact that it is Tuesday.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You could be overwhelmed
by everything that falls on your plate. A partner seems to be adding to the excitement around you. Be direct in your dealings, and ask for a clarifi-cation if you feel confused. Your ability to see past the obvious allows greater flexibility. To-night: At home.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Stay on top of someone’s de-mands, especially if you feel as though you should remain responsive. You could see that there is another way to handle a problem. Follow through on that thought. Tonight: A misun-derstanding could happen with a loved one. Be explicit.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could feel as if someone is manipulating you financially. You also might not be sure which way to turn in order to handle the problem. Make sure that all parties involved are on the same page as far as objectives go. Tonight: Handle a problem now.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are likely to go back and forth regarding a personal mat-ter. It’s likely that you’ll need
to use your clout to handle this properly. You might be harder on the other party than you realize. Be as clear as possible with your instructions. Tonight: Beam in what you want.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You could feel pushed beyond your normal levels, and you might be in a position where you are feeling unsure about the best way to express your feelings. Honor a change of pace and slow down. Give it a day or two, and your position will change. Tonight: Easy works.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might feel as if you have no choice. Remain secure about your choices, and know what your alternatives are. A meeting could be a little too controlled for your taste. Be willing to reveal more of what ails you. Tonight: A friend will appreciate your call.BORN TODAYAuthor Edgar Allan Poe (1809), singer/songwriter Dolly Parton (1946), Confederate command-er Robert E. Lee (1807)***

Community NewspapersWe’re at the heart of things™ Ten Reasons to Advertise
on a Newspaper Website1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.
2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand 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 – in that order. Sixty-two 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 AOL’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: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” 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 sites’ 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.
