Translocation study to begin mid-FebruaryPlease stay away and

let biologists work

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

A study on the translocation of mule deer in the East Kootenay is set to get underway in Cranbrook, Kimberley, Elkford and Invermere in mid-February.

In advance of that Kimberley City Council amended its deer feeding bylaw this week to allow for deer to be baited with food so they can be tranquilized and moved.

The window for the study is from mid-February to mid-March. What residents of any of the com-munities where the study is being carried out can do, says Kimberley City Councillor Darryl Oakley, is stay away if you happen to see the trapping and tranquilizing hap-pening. Oakley, who is the council representative on Kimberley’s Urban Deer Committee, says the whole idea is to make the translo-

cation happen with as little stress to the animals as possible.

“It’s really important that peo-ple realize that this is a full on sci-entific project,” Oakley said. “There will be biologists from Vast Resource, Ministry biologists and veterinarians. To keep this project going people need to make sure when they see them doing their work, leave them alone. The less people around the better, to mini-mize stress.”

The deer will be trapped using clover traps, but a smaller, lighter trap than was used in any of the controversial culls. These traps squeeze in from the side, which will immobilize the animal and allow the vet to administer the tranquilizer.

“They will move does and fawns together,” Oakley said. “But if you catch a doe in a trap, it’s likely that the fawn will be around too. Animals not caught in traps will be darted so we can keep fam-ily units together.”

The study will pick areas of each community where there is a

large enough space to allow for darting and to give the animals room to roam around until the tranquilizer takes effect.

The deer will then be fitted

with radio collars and moved out of town in a horse trailer with straw bedding. Locations to let the deer go have already been chosen but are not being disclosed.

Oakley says that the collars will send out a signal once every twelve hours. If the animal is not heard from in 24 hours, they will be checked.

“There are animals out there already collared — a control group,” Oakley said. “We want to know — if an animal is taken by a predator, are there control group animals being taken as well, or have the animals being transport-ed lost their prey instinct?”

This is an extended process and there will be no answers over-night as to whether translocation is a tool that might be used in con-trol of urban deer.

“We do ask people to respect how it all unfolds. This is a study, not an attempt to reduce num-bers. We want to see if it will work. We will need patience. It will be a year after translocations before we know if it worked.”

A last minute

change to smoking

bylawC AROLYN GR ANT

Bulletin Editor

Usually if a bylaw is going to be changed from what is first presented to Council it will happen during first reading. That was not the case with Smoking Bylaw No. 2528, which was quite substantially amended this week at third reading, the last stop before adoption.

The bylaw had already been altered by a friendly amendment to include no smoking allowed on any trails within the City of Kimberley. This was mainly in response to a worry about a discard-ed cigarette starting a fire.

However, at the regular meeting Monday evening, Councillors Albert Hoglund and Darryl Oakley indicated they would not be supporting the bylaw because of that amendment.

Hoglund said the bylaw went too far as written.

“I can see the need for a bylaw for the Platzl, for areas where kids are, but adding all trails has gone way too far.”

“I appreciate the desire for a healthy community,” Oakley said. “But as writ-ten it doesn’t match what we’re trying to do. I understand there is a fire risk, but we should be responding to that with Smokey the Bear signs. Second hand smoke is not really a health risk on trails. It doesn’t jive.”

Coun. Nigel Kitto said it was a fan-tastic bylaw, moving in the right direc-tion.

“There is no safe limit for particu-late matter,” he said.

Mayor Don McCormick said that most of the feedback he has received has been that the bylaw is being mis-understood, and that was on Mayor and Council.

“We are trying to accomplish two things with a single bylaw. It’s confused people. It’s misunderstood. It’s not about a health risk on trails, it’s about a fire risk. If we start bringing in bylaws where there is confusion or a percep-tion that they are useless, that con-cerns me.”

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGWed. Jan. 20, 2016, 6:30 p.m. Upstairs in the Library Meeting Room

Elections of officers will take place and we invite the public to attend.

From Page 1Oakley said that if

you were going to start fining people for smok-ing on trails, where would it end?

“If they do a pre-scribed burn at Ta Ta Creek and the town fills with smoke, do we fine them?”

It could be a new source of revenue, Coun. Kent Goodwin joked.

In the end, Oakley, Sandra Roberts, Ho-glund and McCormick voted to take the trails amendment out of the bylaw.

After the vote, Mc-Cormick expressed sat-

isfaction that council had done the right thing in his opinion.

“We want bylaws in place that are solid and relevant,” he said. “Our new corporate officer is going through all city bylaws now, looking for any that need updates.”

As for the smoking bylaw, it will still be ille-gal to smoke outdoors in the Platzl and at public parks. The city will find a different way to educate trail users about fire risk.

“Our intention at the time was good but we tried to achieve two sep-arate things in one bylaw,” McCormick said.

Victoria’s seasoned ska and reggae fest veterans Sweetleaf will be rocking Kim-berley’s Centennial Hall on Saturday night, January 30, for the Midwinter Beach Dance Party being hosted by Kimberley Arts Council’s Live at Studio 64 committee. Kicking off the eve-ning at 9 p.m. will be local favourites Hot Muck, with Sweetleaf keeping the beat going ‘til close at 12.30 a.m.

Sweetleaf debuted in Victoria in 2012 and has since become one of the top bands at the annual Victoria Ska Fest. Sweetleaf is more than just a ska/reggae band, however, launching on occa-sion into hip hop, funk, punk, jazz, soul, and bluegrass. Says leader Chris Jones (guitar/vocals), “We play anything we write that has a fun, dance-able rhythm.” With a 3-piece horn section, this new-age Canadi-an ska and reggae band can really liven up a party. “Their reg-gae-rock rhythms are reminiscent of hang-ing around with friends at the beach, drinkin’, smokin’, and straight West Coas-tin’,” wrote one re-viewer.

In addition to sing-er-guitarist Chris Jones the band fea-tures Jason Ramalho on sax, Scot Renton on trombone, Greg El-liott on trumpet, Zack Knippel on bass, and Ethan Horan on drums. Last year the band released its first album, Stress Leave, now available online through Bandcamp.

Kimberley’s Hot Muck have been mak-ing a name for them-selves as a great party band, too, appearing at various local hang-outs including aprés ski at the Stemwinder. The band comprises Ryan Peterson on banjo and guitar, Brian Morris on gui-tar, Sean Downes on bass, Allyson Blake on fiddle and Rick Krewenchuk on

drums, all of whom share the vocals.

The doors for the Midwinter Beach Dance Party open at 8.30 p.m. for what promises to be a lively and memorable night. As alcohol will be available this is a 19+ event. Tickets are just $22 in advance from Centre 64 (250-427-4919) or online at eastkootenay.snapd.com or $25 at the door.

Public meeting on January 19

For the Bulletin

The Kimberley Refu-gee Resettlement Group (KRRG) will hold its first evening meeting on Tuesday, January 19, from 6:30-8:00pm, at the Kimberley Aquatic Cen-tre meeting room. It is open to all who want to be a part of welcoming refugee families to Kim-berley, as well as anyone who simply wants to learn more about the Group’s direction and progress.

Bringing two families to Kimberley will cost approximately $54,000, in cash and in-kind con-tributions. The Canadi-an government provides about $20,000 of that fig-ure with KRRG responsi-ble for $34,000. The Group is learning from this first project as it plans for future opportu-nities. Already KRRG has in hand $4,300 in donations, according to treasurer Louise Hock-ley. The Fundraising Team coordinator, Lee Scott, is quick to point out this is before any concerted fundraising effort has been launched.

Cash donations are already being accepted at Kootenay Savings Credit Union; Kimberley & District Community Foundation (online at www.kimberleyfounda-tion.ca); and by mailing checks to “Kimberley Refugee Resettlement Group”, 452 Forest Crowne Rise, Kimberley V1A 0A5.

In addition, a num-ber of Kimberley corpo-rate businesses have agreed to support KRRG,

The Kimberley Refugee Resettlement Group has been meeting regularly.

both financially and through in-kind dona-tions. KRRG is encourag-ing residents and local businesses to find cre-ative ways to respond to its question, “What can you do to help KRRG?”

From a standing start in late November, the group has passed several milestones, says the Group’s chair, Peggy Frederiske. Teams worked through the holi-day season and are al-ready reporting encour-aging progress toward bringing two refugee families to Kimberley.

KRRG’s core organiz-ing group reconvened Thursday, January 7th (PICTURE ATTACHED), with reports from each of three teams: one focused on meeting the require-ments for engaging in the refugee process; one on

communicating KRRG’s activities to the larger community; and a third on raising funds.

The teams’ enthusi-asm, focus and effective-ness are being reflected in the growing number of people expressing inter-est in the project, accord-ing to the Group’s found-er, Colin MacKenzie. It was his passion for hu-manitarian outreach which set the project in motion.

The Communications Team reported on KRRG’s first outreach to the larger community, a successful presentation to the Kimberley Rotary Club’s first meeting of the year. Going forward, KRRG presentations can be booked by contacting Dave Hale (250/427-4300).

This team also wel-

They are applying their technical and cre-ative expertise to en-hancing KRRG’s Face-book page <www.face-book.com/Kimberley-RefugeeResettlement-Group/> and website, about to relaunch as <kimberleyrefugees.ca>. Kimberley’s own “‘Berley Times” <www.ekology.net/bt> is supporting both KRRG’s social media and website, pro-ducing video featuring Group members along with Mayor McCormick describing their person-al and professional moti-vation for getting in-volved.

Anyone interested in joining the core Group is welcome to its next meeting at the Aquatic Centre’s meeting room,

10:00am, Thursday, Jan-uary 14. The focus is on the work ahead for the Settlement Team (stor-age of items, housing, etc.) New members both to the core group and to the individual teams are cordially invit-ed! The City of Kimber-ley is providing use of this space as part of its participation, along with posting information on the City’s website, among “Community” activities.

A slideshow giving details of about the scope and goals of the Group is available on YouTube and on KRRG’s current website kimber-leyrefugee.wix.com/re-settlementgroup.

Columbia Basin Trust com-mits 15 per cent increase to

support local projects(Columbia Basin) – Community projects

will be getting access to more funds this spring through Columbia Basin Trust’s pop-ular Community Initiatives and Affected Areas programs. The Trust announced a 15 per cent increase from $3.6 million per year throughout the Basin, to over $4.2 million per year for each of the next five years.

“We are pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with local govern-ments and First Nations to identify local pri-orities and deliver benefits to Basin commu-nities,” said Neil Muth, President and CEO. “The ultimate goal is to support the projects

that are important to residents, and we know this increase will help communities do more.”

Started in 1998, these programs are the Trust’s longest running granting programs designed to help address the needs of Basin communities. The Trust distributes funds to local government and First Nation partners once a year, and communities then use vari-ous methods—from local council decisions to votes from residents—to decide which projects will receive grants.

“We are very pleased that CBT has decid-ed to increase the funding for this program,” said Revelstoke Mayor Mark McKee. “Over the past 18 years, the program has provided significant support for many community projects that could not have proceeded with-out the funds provided by the Trust, and

these projects have really benefitted our resi-dents and improved their quality of life in many ways.”

“From Better Babies to seniors programs, educational initiatives, environmental proj-ects and community hall renovations, the Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Programs have provided critical support to a broad range of projects that have directly benefited the residents in our communities,” says RDEK Board Chair Rob Gay. “Every year we are over-subscribed, and the increase in funding is fantastic news as it will allow even more people to benefit from these valuable programs.”The new five-year commitment totals over $21 million and extends to 2021.

rooFCranbrook Commu-

nity Theatre (CCT) brings Tennessee Wil-liams’ Pulitzer Prize winning play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” to the Stage Door Theatre in January. First presented in 1955, the themes of this play cannot be tied to any era. It’s a sprawl-ing, high-energy tale that fits somewhere be-tween “Dallas” and Shakespeare. The audi-ence will join the Pollitt family as they celebrate

Big Daddy’s 65th birth-day. Set in the bedroom of Big Daddy’s troubled son Brick and his wife Maggie, family mem-bers clash over their fu-tures, face truths, and tackle the question of who deserves to take hold of the largest plan-tation in the Delta.

This is a rich story, with complex charac-ters and requires a high-ly skilled group to make the best of it.

“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” runs for 10 nights; January 15 & 16, Janu-ary 20-23 and 27-30, 2016 at the Studio/Stage Door, 11-11th Ave South, Cranbrook. Tick-ets are available at Lotus Books. All performanc-es at 8 p.m. satUrdaY, Jan. 16

“If, after several goof ups, you don’t succeed, try something more hazardous to your health.”

Bill Einstein

It astounds me that, even after all these years of different govern-ments that are basically the same

old same old, each one attempts to protect us from wasting stuff.

Take toilets, for exam-ple. Years ago, American friends would venture here to Canada for a little skiing vacation then, on the way home, purchase a Canadian built crapper and somehow smuggle it into the U.S. of A., whose government had sagaciously decreed that American cans used far too much precious water. The result was that there was massive concern in the States be-cause the manufacturers put smaller tanks over the bowls and so half the pop-ulation found that they had to flush two or three times to get rid of the poop. This caused more than a stink.

Last year I purchased here in Canada a lovely, fashionable new porcelain karsy that weighed about 50 kilograms or 21 metric wattages — according to my son who, while I packed the bill, carried it upstairs for me. This new throne for my reading room has two buttons on the top, in order to give me consternation whilst I

try to decide which one to press in order to remove what I have deposited within. To tell the truth, it really doesn’t matter because it is inevitable that I shall need to press both firmly then wait while the tank refills itself, then, in order to remove whatever detritus remains, press again.

Then, in a fit of insanity, I purchased a new electric oven. Apparently, according to an honest dealer in such commodities

(not another commode, Auntie), the government of Canada has decreed that old electric ovens used too much power. My new one is an ultra-conservationist and turns off the power when I am cooking, if it deems I am using too

much electricity, and, what is more, this oven’s concept of cleaning itself is to use water. In actual fact, I am ordered to put a cup of distilled water in the tray at the bottom, turn on the self-clean switch then stand back and be blinded by the results.

Well, I have been blinded by the fumes of Comet, Shout, Vim, Brillo Pads, C.L.R. and several other concoctions that I have utilized with my previously-unused tooth-brushes, wire brushes, sandpaper and the sweat that has poured from my forehead as I scrubbed, scraped and used very ungentlemanly language in order to get the damn thing clean.

Being of a scientific bent (not quite as

some acquaintances say it) I have just placed an egg in the oven whilst it cleans-es itself. When the process is over, I will be willing to wager that the egg will not be cooked. If it is, then the egg I’ll have all over my face will not be raw.

Now, I discover that I have need of a new dishwasher. I can just imagine what kind of performance I’ll get from that.

My lovely domestic daughter, queen of her renovated kitchen, has just warned me about the misbehaviour of her own new dishwasher. “One thing,” she in-formed me, “is that, once it starts on a process, you can’t stop the damn thing. It’s off doing its business and you’re out of luck for an hour.”

Well, knowing my penchant for forget-ting some cups, forks, and even dishes when I switch a machine to ‘wash’ then shoving them in after the process is start-ed, I am definitely going to be in trouble with the new monster.

I was whimpering about my future troubles to a good friend and she re-counted the story of how her children, when they were young and naïve, pur-chased a dish-washer for her on her birthday. “I laughed,” she told me. “I ex-plained that they’d bought the thing for themselves. They washed up; I didn’t.”

That made a lot of sense to me but, when I think of the alternative, I am not keen to go through the messy business of raising another family just to produce a team of washer-ups.

Some sarcasm necessary

Freshly-minted Kootenay Ice captain Tanner Lishchynsky (#3) races ahead of Blades forward Wyatt Sloboshan (#13) Tuesday night at Western Financial Place. Lishchynsky and the Ice were unable to overcome his hometown team as the Blades skated to a 5-1 win.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

One bad period, 20 minutes of unprepared-ness is all it took to sink the Kootenay Ice Tues-day night at Western Fi-nancial Place.

The visiting Saska-toon Blades showed up ready to play and scored three times in the open-ing period en route to a decisive 5-1 victory.

“I’m dumbfounded,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, following Tuesday’s loss. “We talked a lot about what to be pre-pared for and what to expect. We were still having our pre-game nap when the game started. It’s unaccept-able and I’ll take re-sponsibility for my por-tion of preparing our team. Obviously they didn’t listen to our mes-sage. Myself and Gord [assistant coach Bur-nett] have to be ac-countable to that. It’s disappointing.

“I think part of it is us over thinking who we are or under thinking our opponent. I think guys were outside their heads today, all worried about who’s on what line and who is going to be on the power play and who is playing with who.

“Just go play the game. If you play well, you’ll be rewarded for it. It’s a pretty simple mat-ter.”

Blades veteran Ter-rell Draude kick-started the scoring only 2:18 into the festivities, send-ing a long shot that ap-peared to redirect past Ice goaltender Declan Hobbs for a 1-0 Saska-toon lead.

In the latter stages of the opening period, Blades captain Nick Zajac put two more dag-gers on the board, ulti-mately giving the visitors all the offense necessary to win Tuesday night.

First, Ice defence-

man Troy Murray coughed up a costly turnover at centre ice, which was quickly pounced upon and turned the other way by Blades savvy veteran Connor Gay.

A quick pass to the 20-year-old Zajac led to a nifty move in tight and the native of Headingly, Man., had doubled his team’s advantage in the blink of an eye.

As seems to happen all too often with this year’s edition of the Koo-tenay Ice, the opponent found a way to strike late in a period, with Zajac once again the culprit in-flicting the damage.

With Ice sophomore Vince Loschiavo serving a minor penalty for delay of game after put-ting the puck over the glass and out of play, Zajac parked his 5-foot-10, 180-pound frame in front of Hobbs on the power play.

A point shot from Blades import defence-man Libor Hajek was booted out by Hobbs, but Zajac was there to swat the rebound home for a commanding 3-0 lead with only 51 sec-onds remaining in the period.

“It didn’t seem like everyone was ready to go,” said Ice defence-man Tanner Lishchyn-sky, who earlier in the day was named the 20th captain in Kootenay Ice franchise history (see Thursday’s Townsman/Bulletin for a feature on Lishchynsky and the Ice captaincy). “I take that on myself. I try to get guys ready to go and I’ve got to do a better job of that.

“We weren’t ready for them and how hard they were going to come out. That was our biggest downfall in the game.”

The situation only got worse from there for the Ice.

After failing to con-vert on a power-play op-

portunity that stretched across the final 24 sec-onds of the first period and into the early stages of the second, the Ice got into penalty trouble midway through the middle period.

In sequence, Roman Dymacek was sent off for interference 4:53 in. With only 1:18 having elapsed on the penalty to the Czech national, Ice defenceman Ryan Pouliot was then tagged for a high-sticking minor, giving the Blades 42 seconds of 5-on-3 power-play time.

Just as the Ice had finished killing the Dy-macek minor, Lishchyn-sky was caught for cross-checking in front of his own net and sent to the sin bin with 1:07 remaining in the minor to Pouliot.

Give most teams that much consecutive time with a two-man power play and they will even-tually find a way to con-vert.

Defenceman Dustin Perillat, making his Blades debut after being acquired from the Moose Jaw Warriors Jan. 4, hammered a point shot through a crowd. The puck found the back of the net with only 10 seconds remaining in Pouliot’s infraction.

The 5-on-3 goal gave the visitors a 4-0 lead and spelled the end of the night for Hobbs, who surrendered four goals on 22 shots. Veter-an Wyatt Hoflin entered the game in relief.

“The penalty prob-lems, some of them come from frustration and they’re unneces-sary,” Pierce said. “But we should have had that type of emotion to start the game with and you probably kill them off because you know guys are just working. But then they look like they’re just frustration penalties and we don’t kill them.

“We smothered them for about 10 minutes in the second period there after we got through the penalty trouble. To me, that’s not something that’s positive. It’s some-thing that’s an expecta-tion. There’s absolutely no reason you can’t do that at the start of the game and finish it out.”

Ice right winger Jesse Zaharichuk gave his club a momentary spark mid-way through the period with a great solo effort in the offensive zone.

After jumping on a loose puck just inside the blueline, the 18-year-old native of Sherwood Park, Alta., zigged and zagged his way towards the net be-fore dishing off to Matt Alfaro, who was left with a wide-open cage to shoot at.

The tally went up as Alfaro’s 13th of the cam-paign and extended Za-harichuk’s point streak (2-5-7) to four games.

A relatively unevent-ful third period saw the Ice fail to muster much of anything productive on the power play.

Blades forward Ryan Graham was sent off for tripping only 1:16 into the final period but the Ice were unable to man-age a single shot on the ensuing advantage.

Midway through the third period, Cameron Hausinger was ticketed for kneeing, giving the Ice a third power-play. Once again, there was nothing much to speak of in terms of scoring opportunities and the Blades coasted the rest of the way.

Blades newcomer Braylon Shmyr put an exclamation point on the victory, hammering an absolute laser of a shot off the iron behind Hof-

lin’s glove with only 1:39 remaining in the game.

At the end of the night, Hoflin was good on 18 of the 19 shots he faced in mop-up duty.

At the other end of the rink, Blades goalten-der Brock Hamm was steady as he made 23 saves for his 12th win of the season.

With the loss, the Ice fall to 8-33-3-0.

The victory boosted the Blades to 16-23-3-0 and within four points of the Edmonton Oil Kings (17-20-5-0) for the final wild-card slot in the WHL’s Eastern Con-ference.

Next up, the Ice face the Prince Albert Raid-

ers (24-14-3-1) Friday night (7 p.m.) at Western Financial Place.

The Blades carry on to visit the Spokane Chiefs (19-17-3-2) Wednesday.

HOUSTON - NFL owners voted Tuesday to allow the St. Louis Rams to move to a new stadi-um outside Los Angeles, and the San Diego Char-

gers will have an option to share the facility.

The Oakland Raid-ers, who also wanted to move to the area, were left out of the deal, but could move to Los An-

geles if San Diego doesn’t, Commissioner Roger Goodell said.

The move ends NFL’s 21-year absence from the nation’s second-largest media market.

The Chargers can continue to negotiate with San Diego for a new stadium, while keeping the option of joining the Rams at the $1.8 billion complex set to be built.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your inner conversations might be far more viable than your ac-tual interactions are. Slow down and touch base with what you feel. You could feel restricted in some way, as if some facts are being held back. Know what you desire from a situation. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Something you’ve wanted for a long time becomes a possibility. A friend could play a strategic role in making this desire happen. You won’t appreciate a naysayer who is lingering around you. Ignore this person. Allow yourself to brainstorm creatively. Tonight: Meet up with friends. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be in the position to accept extra responsibility. You also will find an avenue for your creativity and your emerging ideas. A partner or loved one could be insecure or jealous that you have this opportunity. Do not allow his or her attitude to get to you. Tonight: Time for a chat.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reach out for more information, detach and try to see the big picture. Your inability to get past a problem marks your day in some way. Get help or delegate the problem to someone else. It might not be worth your time to work through this issue. Tonight: Someone shares a new idea. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) One-on-one relating provides a new path to better ideas. You might have a dream of what could be. Start working toward making that a reality. Dealing with someone who doesn’t feel inspired could be difficult. This fatigue will encourage him or her to withdraw. Tonight: Pay bills. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others might confuse you, as they are so enthusiastic and full of ideas. You might wonder what happened to them, especially if you are stuck dealing with a grump at some point. Get into what is positive in your life, and you will be much happier. To-night: Say “yes” to living. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Accomplish what is needed

in order to move past a road block. Count on the fact that your instincts are right-on. Your intuition will work very well for you. Optimism builds as you take action. Stay focused on what you are doing. Tonight: Do not allow someone to distract you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Understand what is happening within your immediate circle. Others depend on you for that spark of creativity that makes all the difference. You could feel bur-dened or popular; your attitude depends on your mindset. Allow greater give-and-take. Tonight: Understand the role you play. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be in the position of making decisions that work for you. A family member or a room-mate might confuse you with his or her skepticism. You will want to deliberate, but a discussion with an older person is likely to answer your question. Tonight: Head home early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to consider some new options. The path ahead of you could be unclear until you

discuss each one. Refuse to let your innate cynicism get into the mix. Manifest dynamic and creative thinking in deciding the approach that will work. Tonight: Have a long-overdue talk. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be aware of your finances. A mis-take could happen way too easily. Double-check your figures and count your change. Keep your wallet nearby. You could feel very generous toward a loved one. If so, make sure you can afford to follow through. Tonight: Treat a family member. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your imagination could take you way beyond the limits of others’ thoughts at the moment. You will want to toss an idea or two into the ring to see if they can be worked with. What seems like a brilliant solution might not be workable. Tonight: As you like it.

Dear Annie: Several years ago my brother-in-law died. He had been married to my older sister for 50 years. They had no children. She did not want to live alone, nor did she want to live with a roommate. In order to solve the situation, I sold my home and bought a duplex where she could live in one unit and I would live in the other. This arrangement has worked out very well for both of us. Here’s the issue: My siblings never visit with me, even though they often come to see my sister. I always learn of their visits after the fact, when my sister tells me about them in conversation. At first I was puzzled by their lack of consideration to take a few moments to say hello to me, at least periodically. But then I realized they had made a choice as to who they would visit and who they would not. If I happen to be at my sister’s place when one of my siblings stops by, I am always very cordial. I spend a social amount of time in conversation with them and enjoy their company. I do not overstay my visit in order to allow them time to visit with one another. They have never communicated with me much, and I have accepted this as the norm. I have reached out in the past to call them and sometimes go to their homes to visit so that I am not accused of failing to remain in contact. But it doesn’t seem to be reciprocal. I harbor no ill will toward them and realize that I have no control over their behavior. I’m simply confused as to why this situation developed. I continue with my life and my friends, hoping someday I will understand. -- Bewildered Sibling Dear Bewildered: You could ask them why, when they are so close to your home, they do not stop by to say hello or phone ahead to have you join them at your sister’s. You could also ask your sister why she doesn’t suggest they visit you when they are at her place. You and your siblings seem to have a rather detached relationship and there could be any number of reasons for it, but you won’t know unless you ask them directly whether there is any way to close the distance. Dear Annie: Can you please explain the difference between unconditional love and enabling? I see so much enabling in the name of love. -- Frustrated Dear Frustrated: Unconditional love means you love someone regardless of their behavior, while not necessarily condoning what they say or do. (For example, your daughter steals from you. You are angry about it and no longer trust her, but you still love her.) Enabling is acting in a way that allows the loved one to continue behavior that is damaging either to himself or to others. (You make excuses for your alcoholic husband when he’s too hung over to show up for work.) A lot of folks can’t tell the difference. And it is often easier to be an enabler than to hold someone responsible for their behavior. But “easier” is the wrong choice.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

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.

D avid Bowie’s death Sunday from cancer came as a shock to

many because the iconic mu-sician had apparently kept his 18-month-long illness secret from all but his family and most intimate friends.

But with cancer such a common and widely talk-ed-about disease, why do some people choose to care-fully guard their diagnosis —especially when others feel compelled to take to social media and other public ven-ues to chronicle their cancer journey step by step, even up to death?

“It’s a very individualized decision,” Christine Wil-liams, scientific director at the Canadian Cancer Soci-ety, said Tuesday. “We talk a lot about personalized medi-cine in treating cancer, but the emotional experience of cancer is also very personal for people.

“And different people react in different ways.”

Dr. Gary Rodin, head of supportive care at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, said many people may not realize in this era of

Facebook and other online vehicles for personal disclo-sure and self-expression that it wasn’t so long ago that the word “cancer” was often whispered, referred to by eu-phemisms like “the Big C,” or not voiced at all.

The psychiatrist recalled being told by a U.S. doctor, who helped pioneer the practice of psychosocial on-cology, that in the 1950s she wanted to run an ad in the New York Times for a sup-port group for women with breast cancer.

“The New York Times said that’s fine, but you can’t use the word cancer and you can’t use the word breast,” said Rodin, noting that there is now far more openness about cancer, thanks in large part to breast cancer survi-vors and their supporters speaking out to raise aware-ness of the disease.

Still, there are those who prefer to keep their diagno-sis, treatment and prognosis private, for a variety of rea-sons.

“Sometimes people do it for reasons to do with worry about stigma, about job se-curity, those kinds of things,” said Rodin. “Sometimes,

people have a fear that oth-ers will either avoid them or somehow regard them dif-ferently.”

There may also be a sense of shame or embarrassment, which may harken back to earlier times when cancer was a dirty word.

In fact, “in many cultures, the idea still persists that you are to blame in some way or it’s a punishment of some kind,” he said. “There is a sort of irrational sense of shame that some people feel around illness, even though it’s not their fault.”

Many people with cancer, especially if they’re going through treatment for more progressive disease, struggle to maintain their sense of identity in their own and others’ eyes.

Like Bowie, other celebri-ties have hidden their ill-nesses, sometimes even from those closest to them. When Nora Ephron died in 2012, good friends like ac-tress Meryl Streep didn’t know the author/screenwrit-er was sick until just before her death; novelist Jackie Collins, who died last Sep-tember, had long kept the seriousness of her breast

cancer secret from her sister Joan Collins.

However, other figures in the public eye had no such

qualms: neurologist/author Dr. Oliver Sacks and journal-ist/essayist Christopher Hitchens, for instance, open-

ly chronicled their battles with cancer, which claimed their lives in 2015 and 2011 respectively.

So why the difference?“I think sometimes it’s

taking ownership, rather than feeling like a victim,” Rodin said of those who share their cancer journey publicly. “Sometimes, there’s an altruistic motive to help other people through it.

“Sometimes, it’s to dimin-ish the sense of aloneness that people feel, to feel known by other people. And I think in writing these things, whether someone writes it on a blog or in one’s own diary, it’s creating a nar-rative, trying to think about ‘what does this mean to me?’ It’s a way of managing the trauma.”

As for Bowie, his secrecy may have arisen in part from a desire not to have his iden-tity replaced by the disease that was taking his life, Wil-liams said.

“He was certainly some-one who resisted being de-fined by others in any tradi-tional way,” she said. “He may also have resisted the idea of cancer defining him as a person.”
