Cull begins February 1

C AROLYN GR [email protected]

A request from New Roots Community Garden to create a new community garden on Ro-tary Drive has been approved by Council.

The garden will be planted in the area of the old bocce pits behind the Aquatic Centre. Cur-

rently that lot houses a picnic area but there is unused space at the south end where the gar-den will be located.

In a report to Council Man-ager of Planning Services Troy Pollock said that the proposed land use was compatible with the existing parks and recre-ation and low density housing zoning in the area. In addition,

the community garden is in line with Kimberley’s Sustainability Plan which includes improving access to healthy, locally grown food.

Council had no concerns about the garden provided there was no excess noise at inappro-priate times and the garden was fenced to keep deer out.

“It’s a project worth doing,”

said Coun. Kent Goodwin.Coun. Darryl Oakley said the

Deer Committee would be watching the garden “like a hawk” in order to make sure there was unintentional feeding of deer.

New Roots does intend to reinforce and add height to the fence around the garden area, Council was told.

Contractor hired to remove up to 30 deer from Marysville and

Chapman Camp/Blarchmont

C AROLYN GR [email protected]

A contractor has been chosen and the cull of up to 15 deer in Marysville and 15 in Lower Blarchmont/Chapman Camp will begin Feb-ruary 1 and end by March 15, 2014.

The Urban Deer Committee recommend-ed the cull of deer from neighbourhoods where complaints of aggressive deer had been greatest and Council voted to go ahead last fall.

This week a contractor was chosen and the cull will go ahead beginning Saturday.

The BC Deer Protection Society wrote to Kimberley City Council this week regarding the cull.

The Deer Protection Society was urging Council not to pick the contractor who car-ried out the cull in Elkford. Elkford’s cull was suspended for a week after their contractor violated the terms of the permit by trapping and killing deer in daylight hours.

As it turns out, the City has not chosen the same contractor. Winning with what Mayor Ron McRae called the most competitive bid was Wade Jarvis, a Registered Professional Forester. The cost of culling and processing 30 deer will be under $15,000. The contractor will be provided with training by the Minis-try’s Wildlife Veterinarian prior to conducting the cull. An experienced mentor will also be provided.

The City is asking residents to contact them through email ([email protected]) if they would like to have a trap placed in yards in Marysville, Blarchmont or Chapman Camp. However, the City also asks that those interested check with their neighbours first to see if there is an objection to a trap on their property.

The Cranbrook Skat-ing Club turns 60 this year, and a gala celebra-tion is being held to mark the occasion.

While there had been organized skating in Cranbrook since the early years, 1954 was the year the Cranbrook Skating Club (formerly the Cranbrook Figure Skating Club) became affiliated with Skate Canada, said Debbie Mandryk, who is pro-ducing the upcoming show. Hence, the 60th anniversary falls this year.

“The Club hasn’t had an ice show for several years,” Mandryk said. “So we decided to hold one this year in conjunction with the anniversary.”

On Saturday, March 1, the 150 members of the Cranbrook club will be joined by skaters from Kimberley, Inver-mere, Elkford and Fern-ie. Almost 200 skaters from around the region will take part in a mag-nificent ice show at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook.

The theme is “Cele-

brating the Decades,” and Mandryk said it will feature music and cos-tumes from the 1950s onward.

The event will also feature some special guests — rising stars in the skating world. Keelee Gingrich and Davin Portz from Cal-gary are the 2014 Novice Pairs Champions of Canada. They were just recently crowned at the 2014 Canadian Figure Skating Championships, held earlier this month in Ottawa.

“It’s definitely a fami-ly show,” Mandryk said. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children, kids under three get in for free. There is also a family rate of $25.

Watch these pages for a special feature on the Cranbrook Skating Club and its history.

Advance tickets will be available on Tues-days and Thursdays, Feb. 18, 20, 25 and 27 at the Memorial Arena from 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. For more information, con-tact Debbie Mandryk at 250-489-2318 or [email protected].

This week, students at the Kimberley Independent School had the very fortunate experience to have Shane Philip perform. For those of you who had the opportunity to watch him at the Stemwinder last weekend you would agree that this man has a gift. He exudes a passion for music and has mastered several different instruments. Shane played two different didgeridoos (hand made), a Kona guitar (handmade), a Ukelele (also handmade), Aslatua (from Ghana), the steel guitar, a kick drum, electric bass, cymbals and the Djembe. The most amazing part was his ability to play up to five different instru-ments at once (including his spectacular voice). Shane had the gymnasium rocking with children and staff alike clapping, dancing and moving to the beat! His website explains his music as “swelling in primordial pulses and wholloping whoops”. I would full heartedly agree, says principal Jennifer Roberts. “A huge thanks goes out to Shane for sharing his passion with the community of KIS.“

Nelson Search and Rescue helped pull an injured snowmobiler out of the forest at Koo-tenay Pass this past weekend.

A man in his mid-20s had been riding along the south shore of Monk Lake with four others on snowmobiles, at about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, when he was thrown from his machine and fell badly, suffering what appeared to be a spinal cord injury. Two riders went to get help while the others stayed with the injured man, ad-ministering what first aid they could.

By the time Search and Rescue received the call, at about 4:30 p.m., it was too late to get a helicopter or any sort of air transport to the scene, so the evacuation had to be done by land.

Creston Search and Rescue members, who managed the search with a half dozen volun-teers on site, also brought in a team of five from Nelson SAR, who have extensive experi-ence working in ava-lanche terrain, and two from South Columbia SAR, as additional back-up.

They also contacted the Creston Snowmo-bile Club and managed to get seven people on snowmobiles to bring rescuers out to the scene, about 20 kilome-tres from the trailhead off Highway 3A.

Fortunately, the ava-lanche risk was low, which allowed the res-cuers to go into what can sometimes be dan-gerous terrain at night.

“By time we reached the subject, his two companions had decid-ed to take the risk and move him down from lake, [about 10 kilome-tres] to Maryland Creek Forest Service Road,” Nelson search manager Scott Spencer ex-plained.

When his team ar-rived, Spencer said, they found the injured man very cold and shivering.

“We re-warmed him, did our assessment, and packaged him properly for spine injury [and] onto a rescue toboggan.”

They had originally planned to care for the man through the night and get him airlifted out at first light. But because he was now much closer to the trailhead, the res-cuers decided to contin-ue moving him out.

“It was fairly ardu-ous,” said Spencer.

“There was a lot of steep terrain that challenged the snow machines. We had to do some hand pulling and skiing down on some of the steeper slopes to maintain con-trol of the toboggan.”

The injured man was in good spirits through-out the ordeal, keeping up a conversation with rescuers, Spencer said.

At about 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning, the team reached the high-way, where an ambu-lance was waiting to bring the man to the Trail hospital.

According to Spen-cer, Search and Rescue regularly helps extract injured people from the backcountry. But it’s usually a much simpler process because they can get in by air.

“If we’d received the call even just a half hour sooner, we might have been able to get in by air and had him out right away,” he said, adding that a satellite phone or SPOT personal track-er can be valuable tools in the backcountry if you need to call for help.

“If you’re going to go out in the backcountry, be prepared for any-thing to happen and have a plan if it does.”

From Page 1As per the permit, no trapping will

be permitted during daylight hours. All meat from the cull will be offered to the Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank and/or Street Angels.

The Urban Deer Committee has always maintained that a cull is only one part of a multi-pronged approach to population management, which in-cludes hazing, management of attrac-tants such as fruit trees and a bylaw prohibiting the feeding of deer.

A hazing trial was conducted in Kimberley last spring and was deemed successful. However, hazing is not permitted under the B.C. Wildlife Act and McRae says there has been no word from the province on when such a change may occur.

“I would speculate that the prov-ince won’t change the Act but will allow hazing to be permitted under special circumstances,” McRae said. “In any event, it can’t be the only ap-proach.”

A Cranbrook curling enthusiast will be an umpire at the 2014 Sochi Paralympics.

Donna Butler will travel to Russia from March 3 to 17 to volun-teer as an umpire for the wheelchair curling events – about 14 games, Butler said.

“Each game I’m as-signed to two teams to make sure everything goes well for those teams on the ice,” she told the Townsman. “We’re busy. There’s two games a day plus there’s practice ice and late night practice.”

Butler is an umpire for Curl B.C., the Cana-dian Curling Associa-tion and the World Curl-ing Federation. She has been involved in curling for longer than 30 years, and it goes without say-ing that she is passion-ate about the sport.

“It’s a gentleman’s sport. They shake hands before they start; they shake hands after they finish. And they look like sometimes they’re not that happy with each other but they hang out together after and they sit down and have a drink or supper together.”

Butler has been an umpire at seven or eight world championships, she said, a role that has taken her to Korea twice, the Czech Republic, and all over Canada. Later this year she will travel to Beijing, China, as an umpire, and hopes to go to Japan in the same ca-pacity next year.

A retired health care worker, Butler was an on-ice volunteer at the 2010 Vancouver Olym-pics and a game umpire at the 2010 Paralympics.

“People don’t believe that we all volunteer to do this. But that’s the only way that you can sustain most sports is to have good volunteers and people who are willing to do it,” said Butler.

“I work with some re-ally great people who do the wheelchair and the men’s and ladies and ju-niors. There are a lot of really good officials in Canada and now in Eu-rope.

“You meet people from all over the world and you become

friends.”The wheelchair curl-

ing athletes have an extra challenge: there is no sweeping in their event.

“The ice is a bit keen-er and their rocks aren’t as sharp; they’re not tex-tured as much so they don’t curl as much as they do in regular curl-ing,” said Butler.

“That all has to be taken into consideration when they play the sport – that they don’t have any sweeping.”

Butler travelled to Sochi last February to test the curling facility, and was impressed by the Olympic venues.

“The figure skating stadium is just incredi-ble. It’s all ceramic tiles on the outside; it looks like a big wave. They are all beautiful.”

Her family is con-cerned about her safety at the Paralympics, but Butler is fairly confident that she won’t be affect-ed by terrorist attacks during her stay in Sochi.

“I think if anything is going to happen, it’s going to happen at the Olympics,” she said.

“All the stadiums are in the one area. The vil-lages are there, the media centre is there, the hotels are all in the one cluster. So you get into that cluster and it will be quite secure.”

The 2014 Sochi Paralympic Winter Games run from March 7 to 16, with wheelchair curling events on March 8 to 15. Some events will be televised on CBC and Sportsnet.

Federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau tossed 32 senators out of his caucus this week, forcing them to sit as inde-

pendents, in what was either a bold move towards a more bipartisan senate (the rose-coloured glasses view) or a bold at-tention grabber that accomplishes nothing (the cynic’s view).

Firstly, before we begin taking up a collection for 32 people who have lost their jobs, the senators don’t really lose anything. They still keep their titles as Senators, their $135,200 annual salary, their ability to shape the nation (!) and all the benefits and perks afforded to those in the upper house. They simply have to sit as inde-pendents. And they don’t get to attend caucus meetings or conventions.

Oh no! Not being able to go to a caucus meeting! Actually I kid. While to the aver-age Josephine attending a caucus meet-ing is right up there with a dental cleaning in terms of fun things to do, to the politi-cally-minded, not being able to be in the room where the decisions are made could be painful. And the conventions. A lot happens at conventions, not all of it in the public eye. The former Liberal senators haven’t been outright banned from at-tending conventions, but they are no lon-ger simply entitled to attend. If they choose to, they could attend just like any other party member — I’m assuming this means they pay their own way.

In any event, Trudeau is trying to do something about the Senate in general, which he says is broken and needs to be

fixed. He has invited Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper to join him by tossing his 57 Conservative Senators. I predict, Harper will agree with Trudeau... never.

It has been an eventful past year for the Senate, a body which most Canadians rarely, if ever, remember exists. But in

2013, scandal has swirled about the Red Chamber as senator after senator was exposed to be involved in expense shenanigans and more. While Conservative senators made the most news simply because they were high profile — Mike

Duffy, Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau — there were Liberal senators caught in it as well. Clearly, the Senate needs a tune-up.

Being that Canada is a parliamentary democracy following the British model, our upper house is not elected but ap-pointed. That flies in the face of the no-tion of democracy right from the start and also opens the door for patronage ap-pointments. And of course there will be patronage appointments. Why would a Conservative Prime Minister suggest Lib-eral or NDP senators? It’s simply human nature. And I’m not sure that Trudeau’s notion requiring senators to sit as inde-pendents really solves this. When ap-pointing a senator, you will still be in-clined to appoint like-minded people. Whether they actually sit as a party mem-ber or not, the appointer may likely ex-pect the appointee to vote along similar lines.

Regardless, conventional wisdom says the Senate needs to change. Reform sug-

gestions have included having a list of candidates approved by a non-partisan person such as the Governor General. Currently, the Governor General appoints on the advice of the Prime Minister. Term limits have also been suggested. Even — blasphemy! — elected senators.

But if you elect, you’re still going with political parties and therefore partisan-ship continues.

The Senate was not set up to be parti-san. It was set up to protect regions of the country, to balance out the power of the elected House of Commons, by giving voice to and protecting the rights of Can-ada’s regions, particularly regions with smaller populations. But it evolved as time went on into partisanship and sena-tors now sit as members of political par-ties, expected to take advice from their party leaders in the House of Commons.

Trudeau’s move could change things somewhat, but all those Senators he just made independents will still sit until they are 75. They are still Liberal by nature and will likely continue to vote with those be-liefs despite being miffed by the move by their former leader. Those appointed on Harper’s suggestion over the past decade will also continue to sit until age 75, most likely voting along Conservative lines.

The more things change the more they remain the same. The true test of Trudeau’s idea will be this: If at some point, Justin Trudeau does become Prime Minister, who will he suggest for a Senate appointment when the time comes?

Greenland has the highest suicide rate in the world: one in five Green-landers tries to commit suicide at

some point in their lives. Everybody in Greenland (all 56,000 of them) knows this. In fact, everybody knows quite a few peo-ple who have tried to commit suicide, and one or two who succeeded. So it is really a good idea to subject this population to an experiment in high-speed cultural and economic change?

Greenland is not fully independent: Denmark still controls its defence and foreign affairs, and subsidises the population at the annual rate of about $10,000 per person. But Greenlanders are one of the few aboriginal societies on the planet that is dominant (almost 90 per cent of the population) on a large territo-ry: the world’s biggest island. And it is heading for independence.

So the debate in this soon-to-be coun-try is about what to aim for. Do you go on trying to preserve what is left of the old Arctic hunting and fishing culture, al-though it’s already so damaged and dis-couraged that it has the highest suicide rate on the planet? Or do you put the pedal to the metal and seek salvation in full modernisation through high-speed economic growth (while keeping your language and what you can of your cul-ture)?

What’s remarkable about Greenlandic politics is how aware the players are of their dilemma and their options. “If you want to become rich, it comes at a price,” says Aqqaluk Lynge, one of the founders of the Inuit Ataqatigiit (Community of the People) party that ran the government until recently.

Lynge doesn’t want to pay that price, and under the Inuit Ataqatigiit adminis-tration all mining was banned in Green-land. Quite apart from the environmental costs of large-scale mining operations, Lynge said, the many thousands of for-

eign workers they would bring in would have a devastating impact on what is al-ready a very fragile Greenlandic culture.

But the Siumut (Forward) party won last October’s election, and new Prime Minister Aleqa Hammond sees things very differently. Essentially, she thinks modernisation has gone too far to turn back now. Better to gamble on solving

the current huge social problems (like suicide) by enabling everybody to live fully modern, prosperous lives. If you’re no longer marginalised and pover-ty-stricken, you’ll feel bet-ter about yourself.

With this in mind, she has issued more than 120 licenses for mining and petrochemical projects in-cluding a huge open-cast iron-ore mine that would ship 15 million tonnes of high-grade iron concentrate a year (mostly to China), drilling platforms for offshore oil and gas exploration, and even mines to produce uranium and rare earths. She has made her choice, and she understands it.

In a recent interview with The Guard-ian while she was visiting Norway, Aleqa Hammond said: “The shock will be pro-found. But we have faced colonisation, epidemics and modernisation before. The decisions we are making (to open the country up to mining and oil exploita-tion) will have enormous impact on life-styles and our indigenous culture. But we always come out on top. We are vulnera-ble, but we know how to adapt.”

Brave words, but few Greenlanders have the technical and managerial skills to get senior jobs in these high-risk, high-cost enterprises ($2.5 billion for the iron ore mine alone), and most of them will not want the hard, dirty, dangerous jobs of the workers in the mines and on the rigs. If all goes well, they will no longer depend on the Danish subsidies that cur-rently keep their society afloat, but they will just be shifting to a different source of

subsidies.To the extent that a sense of cultural

marginalisation and defeat, and a life without meaningful work, is responsible for the Greenlanders’ problems, it’s hard to see how more money from a different source will help. Or how adding a few tens of thousands of foreign workers from places like China to the social mix will help, either.

The epidemic of depression and other psychological illnesses, the rampant al-coholism and drug use, and the tidal wave of suicides that plague the Green-landers are not unique: almost all the aboriginal peoples of North America, and indeed elsewhere too, have elevated lev-els of these afflictions. In Canada, for ex-ample, the general population experi-ences a 12 per 100,000 rate of suicides, while aboriginal people in general have double that rate.

But the suicide rate among Inuit peo-ple in Canada is TEN times as high as it is among the general population — and among Inuit children and teens it is a staggering THIRTY times as high.

The Greenlanders live in a different country and have much more control over their lives, but they belong to the same Inuit culture that extends right across the high north from Alaska to Greenland. They also seem to share the same problems at the same heightened intensity, especially as regards suicide. These problems are unlikely to be cured simply by throwing money at them. It could even make matters worse.

Aleqa Hammond is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t: leaving the people in their current predicament is not a good choice, but going flat out for modernisation doesn’t feel like such a good option either. It would be a good time to call in the cultural engineers, if such a profession existed.

Greenland’s race for modernity

Letters to the editorMove to Fort McMurrayRe: Old man, take a look at your facts

(B.C. Views, Jan. 22)Well, now Tom Fletcher has done it. He

has annoyed, angered, baffled and bored us over the years with his columns. How-ever, to be so condescending and rude about Neil Young’s involvement in the anti-oilsands controversy made me re-spond.

How does he decide which experts’ findings on the environment he judges to be the truth – the whole truth?

May I make a suggestion: Fletcher should move to Fort McMurray. Enjoy the scenery!

And after looking at his picture, who is calling whom an old man?

Young repeats false claimsRe: Old man, take a look at your facts

(B.C. Views, Jan. 22)Thanks to Tom Fletcher’s column, a

few more people know the truth. Using lies to sell a point of view robs any move-ment of credibility. There is no truth by vote; if enough people believe a lie, it’s still a lie.

If we citizens want to fight the good fight, we must use the truth and not recur-sively quote each other’s untruths. Other-wise, the moment our lies are found out, we are discredited. Neil Young, your lies betrayed the movement you claim to sup-port.

Columnist drinks from tailings ponds?

Re: Old man, take a look at your facts (B.C. Views, Jan. 22)

Tom Fletcher should stop taking Natu-ral Resources Minister Joe Oliver’s advice. Drinking from tailings ponds does not

appear to be bringing any clarity to his argument.

The fact that similar environmental destruction exists in the U.S. means Cana-dians should shut up and ignore what goes on in our country? Would Fletcher at least concede that any industrial develop-ment of this size comes at a significant cost to the environment?

I agree that the oilsands are extremely important to the Canadian economy and provide thousands of high-paying jobs to people across this country, but surely there’s room for a balanced discussion. Perhaps we could start somewhere be-tween shutting it down as Neil Young would prefer or expanding it as fast as humanly possible, the clear choice of the present federal and Alberta governments.

If Young’s comments lead to discus-sions at dinner tables across this country then he did us all a great service.

The � rst 950 fans through the doors at Western Financial Place on Saturday, Feb. 1st, will receive an autographed Sam Reinhart bobblehead.

SUBMIT TED Cranbrook, BC – East

Kootenay Foundation for Health and the Koo-tenay Ice are preparing to say thanks to Ice fans for their continued sup-port of the Starlite Cam-paign.

In early December EKFH put out a call for fans to show their Starlite appreciation by making

a donation to the cam-paign in honour of #23 Sam Reinhart. Whether it was a gift sent to EKFH or a donation made at the Ice office or at the re-cent Denham Ford “Shoot for the Truck” event hockey fans showed their true gener-osity by making total do-nations of $5,322.17 to the Starlite Campaign in tribute to the talented player.

In return at the Feb-ruary 1, 2014 home game, East Kootenay Foundation for Health will show its apprecia-tion to the Kootenay ICE and all the players (past and current) who have supported the founda-tion by offering the first

950 fans through the main entrance doors a Sam Reinhart bobble head.

With a limited num-ber available the unique item will be given out in an orderly fashion with a line-up of first come first available bobble heads based on one per person per paid ticket. The line-up and distribution will take place at the former Kootenay Collectibles lo-cation at Western Finan-cial Place.

Volunteers from EKFH, the Kootenay Ice Fan Club and the Knights of Columbus will be on hand to guide fans through the process.

The attention may be on #23 but in true fash-

ion the Kootenay Ice or-ganization, its many players and its fans have long stood behind health care and the East Koote-nay Foundation for Health. To date, includ-ing these recent gifts, Kootenay Ice events has realized $42,293.29 in fi-nancial support for health care.

What’s not as easy to capture is the number of smiles the players have brought to the hospital during their annual Christmas visits or in-volvement at one of the many fundraising events.

Stars and bobble heads an unlikely match but one that works magic here in the East Koote-nay.

Ice win streak ends as Tigers pounce for 6-2 victory

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Just as the Kootenay Ice were getting on a roll, they suffered a setback in Medicine Hat, losing 6-2 to the Tigers on Wednes-day night.

Ending a four-game winning streak, the Ice gave up three goals in the opening period on the way to a crushing defeat.

“We weren’t willing to be competitive in the first 10 minutes against a team that we haven’t played well against in their building and we knew that,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill.

“The rest is history.”Six different Tigers

players scored for Medi-cine Hat, while Luke Phip notched a power play goal, extending his point streak to 11 games, while Zak Zborosky tal-lied the other effort for the Ice.

Wyatt Hoflin stopped 28 shots to take the loss in goal for the Ice, while Kootenay put 32 shots on goaltender Tigers tendie Marek Langhamer.

Kootenay lost the special teams battle, giv-ing up three power play goals, but responded on a two man-advantage with Philp’s marker.

Only 1:32 into the first period, Tigers captain Curtis Valk scored, ex-tending his goal streak to eight games. Five min-utes later Miles Koules doubled the Medicine Hat lead.

Cole Sanford found the back of the net on an odd-man rush late in the frame, putting the Ice down 3-0 after 20 min-utes.

“They outcompeted us in every area for the puck and we didn’t move the puck from our de-fencemen to our for-

wards quick enough,” continued McGill. “We didn’t read the rush properly in a couple in-stances, defensively, and the next thing you know, it’s 3-0.”

The floodgates re-mained open in the sec-ond period, with Trevor Cox tallying with a breakaway with the man-advantage and Chad Labelle made it 5-0 on another powerplay effort.

The Ice finally re-sponded in the third pe-riod, when Philp blasted a slap shot past Lang-hamer with a two-man advantage. Zborosky scored in the second half of the frame, but Antho-ny Ast answered back with the third power play goal with just under five minutes remaining in the game.

Kootenay returns home for a set of home games this weekend, hosting the Prince Albert Raiders on Friday, before the Calgary Hitmen come to town on Satur-day evening.

GLENDALE, Ariz. - The Phoenix Coyotes will go by a different name next season.

Anthony LeBlanc, the club’s co-owner, president and CEO, an-nounced Wednesday the franchise will change its name to the Arizona Coyotes next year.

“We are very excited to announce our fran-chise name will change to Arizona Coyotes for the start of the 2014-’15 NHL season,” he said in a statement. “Becoming the Arizona Coyotes makes sense for us since we play our games in Glendale and the city is such a great partner of ours.

“We also want to be recognized as not just the hockey team for Glendale or Phoenix, but the team for the en-tire state of Arizona and the Southwest. We hope the name ‘Arizona’ will encourage more fans from all over the state, not just the valley, to embrace and support our team.”

VANCOUVER - Hockey Canada presi-dent Bob Nicholson says there’s no Plan B if the NHL decides to pull its players out of the Sochi Olympics be-cause of security con-cerns.

Nicholson made the comments Wednesday after announcing the 2014 recipients of the Order of Hockey in Can-ada.

“Our contingency plan would be everyone around this room

today,” he said while speaking to reporters at Rogers Arena. “We have none.”

NHL deputy com-missioner Bill Daly said in an email this week the league would re-evaluate going to Sochi “if something sig-nificant were to tran-spire” before Feb. 9. That’s the date players are scheduled to leave for Russia.

Daly added in the email he didn’t “expect that that will become necessary.”

Nicholson said there

has been no contact with Canadian amateur or European-based players in the event the NHL did decide against participating in Sochi.

The threat of terror-ism has been top of mind recently after two suicide bombers struck the city of Volgograd in late December, killing 34 people. An Islamic militant group in Dages-tan - which is located about 500 kilometres from Sochi - claimed re-sponsibility for those attacks and has also threatened to strike at

the Games.Nicholson said his

organization has been working with the feder-al government and Ca-nadian Olympic Com-mittee on security.

“We have people on the ground in Sochi. They feel it is very safe right now and we just want to make sure it stays that way,” said Nicholson. “This is something that isn’t new to the Olympics.

“Certainly the loca-tion here heightens it but we feel comfort-able.”

TOKYO - Milos Ra-onic has pulled out of Canada’s David Cup World Group tie against Japan with of a left foot injury.

Raonic, who with-drew Thursday, will be replaced by Peter Polan-sky who was in Tokyo as

a reserve but now will be counted upon heavi-ly.

Polansky will face a tough task in the open-ing singles match Friday against world No. 18 Kei Nishikori.

Nishikori will be looking to improve on his current four-match

Davis Cup winning streak and an overall 10-2 singles record in the team tournament.

Frank Dancevic, a 29-year-old veteran of 19 Davis Cup ties, will face Go Soeda in Fri-day’s other singles match at Ariake Colos-seum.

VANCOUVER - Steve Yzerman can add an-other honour to his im-pressive resume.

The former Detroit Red Wings captain was named to the Order of Hockey in Canada on Wednesday along with former women’s na-tional team captain France St-Louis and legendary university coach Clare Drake.

Yzerman, who was inducted into the Hock-ey Hall of Fame in 2009, won three Stanley Cups during his 22-year play-

ing career.Now the general

manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Yzer-man won gold with Canada as a player at the 2002 Olympics and served as the executive director of the gold-medal winning men’s team at the 2010 Games in Vancouver.

The 48-year-old has the same post heading into next month’s Olympics in Sochi, Rus-sia.

“It was an extremely pleasant surprise for me and really a thrill,”

Yzerman said during a conference call with all three recipients. “I’ve loved being a part of Hockey Canada as a player and (in) man-agement throughout my career in the game.”

Yzerman, St-Louis and Drake will be hon-oured at a ceremony in Vancouver in June. The class of 2014 joins pre-vious inductees Jean Beliveau, Cassie Camp-bell-Pascall, Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Gordon Renwick, Paul Henderson, Dave King and Mark Messier.

TORONTO - Canada will send 221 athletes to the Sochi Olym-pics, its largest ever team for a Winter Games.

The Canadian Olympic Com-mittee officially announced its full team Wednesday.

Canada’s goal is to win more medals than any other country in Sochi.

Canada’s team of 202 athletes finished third overall four years ago in Vancouver with 26 medals, but won a record 14 gold.

There are 36 more medals on the table in Sochi due to new events on the program, giving Canada a realistic shot of sur-passing its 2010 total.

The team is comprised of six skicross athletes, 27 speedskaters, 10 curlers, 16 bobsledders, eight

lugers, four skeleton athletes, 21 women hockey players, eight bi-athletes, 24 snowboarders, 25 male hockey players, 15 alpine skiers, 17 figure skaters, 13 cross-country skiers, 20 freestyle skiers and seven ski jumpers.

“The size of our team and its medal potential is a great tribute to our athletes, their coaches and the system Canada has in place to develop high-performance Olympic athletes,” Canadian chef de mission Steve Podborski said in a release. “Our athletes are very talented and are the best-pre-pared team to ever represent Canada at the Winter Games.”

Curling skip Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg is the oldest female athlete at 39 while Calgary bob-sledder Lascelles Brown, who’s also 39, is the oldest man.

The youngest female athlete is figure skater Gabrielle Daleman of Newmarket, Ont., who turned 16 earlier this month. The young-est male is 18-year-old luger Mitchel Malyk of Calgary.

Of the 121 male athletes and 100 female athletes, 46 are former Olympic medallists and 108 have made the podium at a world championship.

Ontario has the largest contin-gent with 64 athletes or 29 per cent of the team. Alberta is sec-ond with 56 athletes (25 per cent) and Quebec is third with 43 com-petitors (19 per cent).

Canada will field a team in all events except Nordic combined.

Hockey star Hayley Wickenhe-iser will carry Canada’s flag into the opening ceremonies on Feb. 7.

TORONTO - For the second straight night, Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry stated his case as an NBA all-star.

But even after pouring in a game-high 33 points in a con-vincing win over the Orlando Magic, Lowry was managing ex-pectations ahead of Thursday’s announcement of the reserves for next month’s game.

“I would be very honoured. It would be a great individual ac-complishment,” Lowry said when asked if the NBA coaches’ deci-sion mattered to him. “But at the end of the day, it’s just another day for me.”

Even though many would argue Lowry deserves a spot in New Orleans, he’s widely expect-ed to be snubbed, a victim of a perceived abrasive personality rather than anything to do with his play.

His play spoke volumes again Wednesday. Lowry had 11 assists to go with his 33 points in the Raptors’ 98-83 win before 17,694 fans at Air Canada Centre.

It was Lowry’s second consec-utive 30-plus point performance - a career first. The feat is even more impressive because it’s come in the absence of injured DeMar DeRozan, another poten-tial all-star.

“He’s stepped it up,” Toronto head coach Dwane Casey said of Lowry, who hit all five of his three-point attempts in the first quarter as the Raptors built a

33-20 lead and led all the way.“I keep my fingers crossed that

the coaches voted him in because he deserves it,” Casey said. “I feel like both guys (Lowry and DeRozan) deserve it, because right now he’s one of the best point guards in the league.”

Lowry, who had 31 points in a win over the Nets in Brooklyn on Monday, set the tone for the night by opening the scoring with a 26-foot jump shot 58 seconds into the game to make it 3-0.

The Raptors led from there, winning their second straight game and fourth in five.

“We’re just getting better and we’re grinding it out every day,” Lowry said.

Amir Johnson added 22 points and 11 rebounds while Jonas Va-lanciunas, the second-year cen-tre picked earlier Wednesday to suit up in the Rising Stars Chal-lenge at the all-star weekend in New Orleans next month, added 14 points and 15 rebounds for the Raptors.

The win moved Toronto (24-21) three games above .500 for the first time this season.

Ste ve HubrecHtInvermere Valley Echo

The third time may be the charm for Inver-mere’s Manny Os-borne-Paradis at the Sochi Olympics.

The alpine skier has already been to the games in Torino in 2006 and in Vancouver in 2010, and with experi-ence comes a veteran’s viewpoint.

“My Olympic results have not been the brightest, but the older you get the more more you realize it’s about building on these races (leading into the

Games),” said Mr. Os-borne-Paradis, who re-cently raced in a Kitz-bühel World Cup race (where he placed 16th in the downhill event) and will race again at St. Moritz this coming weekend, prior to the Olympics.

Mr. Osborne-Paradis had never raced at St. Mortiz before, which he said makes for a good build-up to Sochi, where he’s also never raced before (the Olym-pics will, in fact, be his first time in Russia).

“It’s good practice in getting to know a course

that I don’t really know and trying to figure it out as soon as possible,” he said, adding skiers usu-ally get just two practice runs, sometimes just one, before the racing begins — not much time to get a really good feel for a course.

From what Mr. Os-borne-Paradis has heard, the actual Olym-pic course in Sochi will be much different than the test event course there, so all the racers will be in somewhat un-familiar territory for the games.

In Torino in 2006, Mr.

Osborne-Paradis was in podium position with just a few racers left to go when the race was cancelled due to weath-er, prompting a com-plete re-ski later, during which he didn’t place so well.

In Vancouver in 2010 Mr. Osborne-Paradis was one of the favour-ites heading into Olym-pics — having two wins and a second-place fin-ish in races just before the games — and was even, at one point, tied for the lead halfway through one of the Olympic races — but couldn’t convert that momentum into a strong finish.

“A lot can change in four years; you just give it your best shot,” he said. “There’s definitely something special about the Olympics. It’s not just another race.”

The field of competi-tors is the same as it is on the World Cup cir-cuit, but the World Cup is a full-season long event, built on overall

points accrued for each skier in each race.

“The Olympics, on the other hand, is unique in that only the top three count, nobody remembers who came fourth at the Olympics,” he said. “You just put your foot down and go

as hard as you can and hope that the stars align as you go down the course,” said Mr. Os-borne-Paradis.

The skier said that al-though nothing can top the home Olympics ex-perience of Vancouver, he’s still excited for the

games.“The Olympics are

great because we’re a full team, a nation, of all sports. You’re not just a bunch of skiers on a mountain as we are at the World Cup events,” he said.

The speed events (the downhill and su-per-G), which Mr. Os-borne-Paradis will be doing at the games, start early on in the sched-ule, giving him the op-portunity to participate in the opening ceremo-ny for the first time.

Mr. Osborne-Paradis grew up in the Vancou-ver area, but moved to Invermere when he was a teenager to race with the Panorama-based B.C. ski team. He lived here for four years, grad-uating from David Thompson Secondary School. Mr. Os-borne-Paradis later bought a house here (where he lives for the-majority of his summer off-season) and consid-ers the Columbia Valley to be his home.

Ferdy Belland“In my career, every

show is different and surprising,” says Van-couver’s roguish folk-rock songwriter Geoff Berner. “This past year I played a punk rock squat in Berlin, a recent-ly restored synagogue, a folk fest in the woods of Ontario, a hockey arena in Norway … and now a bookstore in Cran-brook!” And so it goes that Berner brings his accordion-driven tales of love, life, lust and lager to the intimate confines of Lotus Books the evening of Saturday Feb. 8.

Geoff Berner has been a staple in Van-couver’s music scene since the 1990s, when he fronted the punk band Terror of Tiny Town. After embracing the klezmer music of his Jewish heritage and barging his way into the city’s eclectic indie un-derground with his ac-cordion Stella as his

main instrument, Bern-er gained much acclaim for his humour-laden songs, which often com-bine the profound with the profane. Berner’s profile elevated once the Be Good Tanyas’ version of his song “Light Enough to Trav-el” hit the UK charts.

Having released six albums over the past de-cade (the latest being 2011’s ‘Victory Party’), Berner has carved out an international fanbase which sees him tromp-ing through Europe on an annual basis.

“My hero Billy Bragg curates the Leftfield Stage at the Glastonbury Festival in England,” Berner said. “This last summer, he invited me and my trio out to play there. Playing this giant legendary event with my pals, to a huge crowd, with the idol of my teenage years look-ing on? That was pretty good!”

Berner’s current Ca-

nadian tour comes in support of his newly-re-leased début novel “Fes-tival Man.” A fictional first-person memoir of a rather unpleasant music manager, “Festival Man” is reminiscent of Charles Bukowski’s work, and is described by author Shaughnessy Bish-op-Stall as “the best rock’n’roll novel since Whale Music” Berner’s Lotus Books perfor-mance will include se-lect readings from ‘Fes-tival Man,’ as well as full sets of his songs.

Berner looks forward to his return to the East Kootenay. “What I re-member is that there was something about the town, where things started out kind of se-date...and by the end of the evening it had all got bit out of control. I wasn’t sure when things had crossed that line, but I wasn’t sorry about it.”

Berner assures us that he has artistic pearls of wisdom worth

sharing: “Worry less about practising your instrument. Work more on reading books, watching movies and listening to music out-side of your usual com-fort zone. Seek out the strange. If you want to get ahead, reach out to people who genuinely share your enthusi-asms. People you’ve never heard of have more power than you think to spread the word about your work. Famous people are more accessible than you think to people who truly love the kind of stuff they love. Make something and throw it out there. You never know where it might go.”

Geoff Berner per-forms live at Lotus

Books (33-10th Ave.S., Cranbrook) on Satur-

day, Feb. 8; showtime 8 p.m. For more informa-tion, please phone 250-

Romeo and Juliet by Ballet Jorgen will be tak-ing the stage at Key City Theatre.

A timeless classic written by William Shakespeare tells the tale of Romeo and Juliet, two love-struck teens living on opposite sides of two feuding families. Masterfully transformed for the world of ballet, this tale of love, anguish and revenge is elegant and intensely emotion-al.

Since 1997, the Ballet Jorgen has successfully toured “Romeo & Juliet” around the world with stops in New York, China and Hong Kong. Praised as one of the sunniest versions of the play, Bengt Jorgen’s fo-cuses on creating a clear and emotionally driven journey into this time-less classic. “Bengt Jör-gen crafts a jewel-box Romeo & Juliet” says Paula Citron (Globe and Mail) and Michael Crabb (National Posts) calls it “a production that looks like a ballet but feels like a play”.

Ballet Jorgen will be bringing an ensemble of 15 dancers with Hiroto Saito and Saniya Abil-majineva cast in the roles of Romeo and Ju-

liet. Hiroto Saito is a Japa-

nese born ballet dancer who has been dancing and teaching with Ballet Jorgen since 2007. Along with dancing, Hiroto has choreographed a variety of works for Bal-let Jorgen and organized “Dance for Japan” a fundraiser to support earthquake relief in Fukushima, Japan.

Saniya Abilmajineva is originally from Tash-kent, Uzbekistan and

started training for bal-let at the age of 10. A graduate from the Cho-reography College in Moscow, she has been the recipient of several awards including the gold medal at the Inter-national Ballet Compe-tition in Berlin and a semi-finalist at the In-ternational Ballet Com-petition at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre.

In addition Ballet Jorgen will be providing six to 10 local dancers

and two theatre stu-dents the opportunity to participate in the ballet. Students are selected based on their instruc-tor’s recommendation or through live audi-tions. Students success-fully selected will have the rare opportunity to gain insights to the inner workings of a profes-sional ballet produc-tion. They will have the chance to participate in rehearsals and perform as villagers, ballroom guests and guards in front of a live audience at the Key City Theatre.

Founded in 1987, Ballet Jorgen gives over 120 performances a year sharing the experience of ballet with more com-municates in Canada than any other dance company. With over 117 ballets in their reper-toire they are the only major Canadian ballet company that exclusive-ly offers original ballet performances.

Ballet Jorgen will be in Cranbrook on Feb. 11 to perform Romeo and Juliet. Tickets are $40 ($35 for members) and can be purchased at the Key City Theatre box of-fice or charge by phone at 250-426-7006. Visit www.keycitytheatre.com for more informa-tion.

AARON ORLANDORevelstoke Times Review

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada and the U.S. National Transportation Safety board have issued joint recom-mendations to improve the safety of transportation of crude oil.

Their Jan. 23 report said the greater risk of transporting “in-creasingly more” crude oil by rail in North America needs “coordinated solutions.”

Transportation Safety Board (TSB) chair Wendy Tadros em-phasized three key points aris-ing from the July, 2012 Lac-Mégantic disaster investi-gation: “In the course of our Lac-Mégantic investigation, we found three critical weaknesses in the North American rail sys-tem which must be urgently addressed,” Tadros said. “Today we are making three recom-mendations calling for tougher standards for Class 111 tank cars; route planning and analy-sis; and emergency response assistance plans.”

The report calls for tougher standards for new and existing

Class 111 tanker cars.The second recommenda-

tion calls for strategic route planning, and improved opera-tions safety for trains carrying dangerous goods in Canada.

“The TSB wants railways to carefully choose the routes on which oil and other dangerous goods are to be carried, and to make sure train operations over those routes will be safe,” the TSB said in a Jan. 23 statement.

The third recommendation calls for emergency response

assistance plans, or ‘ERAPs,’ to be in place along rail routes where large volumes of oil will be transported.

The report finds that oil by rail shipments have increased very, very dramatically in the past four years.

In Canada in 2009, there were only 500 carloads of crude oil shipped by rail. By 2013, that number jumped manyfold to 160,000 carloads. Over the same period, shipments in the U.S. jumped from 10,800 to

400,000 carloads.The reports finds better

cross-border coordination of oil shipments is needed due to the integrated nature of inter-national oil shipments.

“If North American railways are to carry more and more of these flammable liquids through our communities, it must be done safely,” added Tadros. “Change must come and it must come now.”

The TSB said the ongoing Lac-Mégantic investigation is a “top priority” for the TSB.

The Transportation Safety Board is an independent Gov-ernment of Canada agency re-sponsible for advancing trans-portation safety in Canada.

However, it’s the federal Transport Canada that regu-lates rail transport in Canada. Following the TSB Jan. 23 re-port, federal Minister of Trans-port Lisa Raitt issued a state-ment saying Transport Canada officials are “reviewing” the rec-ommendations. The statement also listed other steps the trans-portation regulator has taken since the Lac-Mégantic disaster.

The Elk Valley RCMP are investigating a motor vehicle collision that sent one female to the Elk Valley Hospital in Fernie over the week-end. The accident oc-curred on Highway 3 near Hosmer approxi-mately 16 kilometres north of Fernie early in the morning of Sunday, January 27.

A male driver has been arrested and po-lice believe that drugs and alcohol played a factor in this incident.

“As the investigation is still on going, we are unable to provide any further details at this time,” said Sgt. Will Thien.

Contact the Elk Val-ley RCMP at 250-425-6233 if you have infor-mation about this case.

RCMP arrest man over Fernie collision

and Rescue received the call, at about 4:30 p.m., it was too late to get a helicopter or any sort of air transport to the scene, so the evacuation had to be done by land.

Creston Search and Rescue members, who managed the search with a half dozen volun-teers on site, also brought in a team of five from Nelson SAR and two from South Colum-bia SAR.

They also contacted the Creston Snowmo-bile Club and managed to get seven people on snowmobiles to bring rescuers out to the scene, about 20 kilome-tres from the trailhead off Highway 3A.

Fortunately, the ava-lanche risk was low, which allowed the res-

cuers to go into what can sometimes be dan-gerous terrain at night.

“By time we reached the subject, his two companions had decid-ed to take the risk and move him down from lake, [about 10 kilome-tres] to Maryland Creek Forest Service Road,” Nelson search manager Scott Spencer explained.

When his team ar-rived, Spencer said, they found the injured man very cold and shivering.

“We re-warmed him, did our assessment, and packaged him properly for spine injury [and] onto a rescue toboggan.”

They had originally planned to care for the man through the night and get him airlifted out at first light. But because he was now much closer to the trailhead, the res-cuers decided to contin-ue moving him out.

The injured man was in good spirits through-out the ordeal, keeping up a conversation with rescuers, Spencer said.

At about 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning, the team reached the high-way, where an ambu-lance was waiting to bring the man to the Trail hospital.

Nelson Search and Rescue helped pull an injured snowmo-biler out of the forest at Kootenay Pass this past weekend.

A man in his mid-20s had been riding along the south shore of Monk Lake with four others on snow-mobiles, at about 3:30 p.m. on Satur-day, when he was thrown from his ma-chine and fell badly, suffering what ap-peared to be a spinal cord injury. Two rid-ers went to get help while the others stayed with the in-jured man, adminis-tering what first aid they could.

Different conditions comprise low vision

Millions of people have signifi cant visual impairments that can make daily life challenging. Although many vision problems are readily treated with corrective lenses, treating low vision may not be so simple.

“Low vision” is a term used to describe the inability to see clearly.

Even after correcting for vision with glasses or contact lenses, many people still cannot see well and test at lower than 20/40 vision.

Anyone with reduced vision that is not cor-rected by some method of lenses or surgery is considered to have low vision or be visually im-paired. Low vision may cause slight vision loss or even blindness.

Causes of low vision

There are many factors that contribute to the onset of low vision, in-cluding disease, aging, injury, and heredity. The following are some of the more common causes of low vision.

* Age-related macular degeneration (AMD): This is a common eye condition among people age 50 and older. In fact, it is the leading cause of vision loss in older adults, says the National Eye Institute. When a person has AMD, the macula, which is the most sensitive part of the retina responsible for fi ne-tuning images received by the eye, deteriorates and does not work properly. Though there might be some vision, images won’t be clear. The most common form of age-related macular de-generation is known as nonexudative, or “dry” form. This generally causes vision loss that develops gradually. More rapid and severe vision loss comes from exudative, or the “wet” form, of macular de-generation. This occurs when abnormal blood vessels develop under the macula and leak fl uid and blood.

* Cataracts: Cataracts are a clouding of the lens of the eye that usually develops with aging. It may be present at birth or be the result of an injury to the eye. Depending on the se-verity of the cloudiness of the lens, vision can be impacted greatly. Cataracts may form as a result of long-term exposure to ultraviolet

light, exposure to ionizing radiation, secondary effects of diseases such as dia-betes, hypertension and advanced age, or trauma.

* Glaucoma: When a person has glaucoma, eye damage occurs to his or her eye when there is a buildup of fl uid pressure within the eye, also known as intraocular pres-sure. This pressure can damage the optic nerve and cause vi-sual fi eld loss, which over time might escalate to blindness. Glaucoma is often dubbed “the silent thief of sight,” because in most cases it progresses slowly and vision loss is not immediately apparent.

* Diabetic retinopa-thy: Vision can fl uc-tuate daily as a result of diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy can cause blood vessels in the retina to develop abnormal off-shoots that leak blood and interfere with vision, eventually causing severe damage to the retina.

* Retinal detachment: This occurs when the retina separates from its underlying layer. The portion that detaches may be rendered use-less and cause total impairment of vision. Some retinas can be surgically reattached, and vision may be restored partially if surgery occurs promptly.

* Aniridia: Aniridia occurs when the iris, which is responsible for controlling the di-ameter and size of the pupils and regulating the amount of light reaching the retina,

fails to develop nor-mally. If the iris is not functioning properly, extreme sensitivity to light and an inability to see clearly may result.

Treatment for low vision

Treatment cannot be-gin until your vision is assessed by a profes-sional. An optometrist may conduct various vision acuity tests to determine what might be the cause of vision loss. Each type of low vision problem re-quires a different ap-

proach to treatment, so it’s important to correctly diagnose the problem before beginning treatment.

Some treatment options for low vision may include special-ized optical systems, video magnifi cation, therapeutic fi lters, or special prescription glasses. There also may be the need to perform eye exercises that help maximize existing visual func-tion. Individuals may have to use a com-bination of devices to fi nd the ones that help the best.

Only a doctor can determine the culprit behind vision loss. Routine visual exams are recommended at least every year and may need to be more frequent if a person is suffering from deteriorating vision. If caught early, many eye conditions can be managed to help prevent further loss of vision.

Recent studies show that hot tub therapy is not just a lux-urious and fun way to spend an evening: it actually has visible health benefits. Furthermore, advancements in technology have made some hot tubs very energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, so now is the ideal time to join the many who thrive from the low-main-tenance benefits which hot tubs can offer.

Soaking in a hot tub provides three

important elements which have been shown to improve physical and emo-tional health: heat, buoyancy, and massage. For the 1 in 3 Canadians who have some form of arthritis, hot tubs exercise and relax the muscle joints which may cause pain during simple daily tasks, allowing patients to feel more comfortable at home and outdoors.

Hot tubs also help diminish insomnia, which affects almost 75% of the popu-lation on a regular basis. Not only does the experience re-duce the stress which often causes sleep-less nights, but a recent study showed that a drop in body

temperature helps one fall into a deeper sleep. It was sug-gested that soaking in 103-degree water 90 minutes before bedtime for just 15 minutes is a natural and effective way to induce sleep without the side effects of commercial sleep aids.

The most surprising of all, however, is the positive effect which hot tubs have on patients with Type 2 Diabetes. A Study at the McKee Medical Center showed that patients who spent 30 minutes per day in a hot tub reported a 13% decrease in blood sugar levels, improved sleep, and a higher sense of well-being. Even if you do not suffer

from one of these ailments, a hot tub is a natural and suc-cessful in stress re-lief, blood pressure, headaches, and the acceleration of the healing process.

But where do you start? Hot tubs have the reputation of be-ing unwieldy, expen-sive, and wasteful, but with new tech-nologies, they are becoming an easy-to-maintain, energy efficient, at-home healing sanctuary.

Their consultation process allows you to find the model which best suits your needs, and their variety of models allows you to relax and destress while still doing a lit-tle to save on energy costs.

Tanning Bed Benefits - Tanning Can Actually Be Beneficial to You!Tanning beds are becoming an extremely popular way to get a quick, natural looking tan without having to sit outside in the blazing hot sun. They are also not as harmful as the sun. Tanning beds can even provide certain benefits to you if you use the proper precautions.

Some doctors will tell you that tanning beds are just as harmful as sunlight and can cause skin cancer and premature aging just like the sun. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. There are lots of tanning bed lotions on the market that will prevent these dangerous side effects from occurring. A good lotion should provide antioxidants and mois-ture to your skin. The antioxidants are what protect you from any damage that the UVA and UVB rays might cause.

It is very important that after you tan, you use an after tan lotion.

This helps calm and cool your skin down and it will also firm it. If you don’t use this lotion, your skin will begin to sag and get lots of wrinkles. UVA and UVB rays can cause this by disrupting the elastin fibers in your skin. If you can’t find a good after

tan lotion, you can also use extra virgin olive oil. This oil has lots of anti aging ingredients in it.

If you go to tanning sa-lons, just make sure you don’t do it too much. Also make sure you use the proper lotions.

Eat raw garlic and onions as both have anti-bacterial, anti-viral and immune modulat-ing e� ects. Add raw to salad dressing, soups or try to add near the end of cooking to get the most bene� t.

Avoid re� ned carbo-hydrates which can in-hibit immune function.

Ensure you are getting an adequate amount of sleep for your body (7-9 hours per night).

Exercise at least 30 minutes daily and do one activity that helps release stress like jour-naling, yoga, medita-tion, deep breathing, stretching.

If you are prone to sinus issues using a neti pot daily can help keep the nasal passages clear and prevent stagnation of � uids.

Supplements/Herbal Medicine

Deep Immune is one of our favourite pre-ventative treatments to support the immune system and it contains several herbs to � ght o� infection and keep the immune system strong.

Vitamin C + Bio� avo-noids can help enhance the immune system.

Vitamin D can be used daily during the winter months to keep the immune system balanced.

Multi strain probiotics can help replenish the good bacteria in the gut to balance the immune system.

If you do get a cold remember these tips as well:

If you are coughing or sneezing do it in to a bent arm rather than

onto your hands as this prevents trans-mission.

Allow the body to experience a mild to moderate fever (1-3 degrees above nor-mal 37.3°C) without suppressing it as this is the immune system working to help you feel better.

If you aren’t feeling well stay home from work and let your body rest and recover.

IV therapy can be helpful to enhance immune function and recover faster using a Myer’s cocktail (high dose B vitamins, Vitamin C, Calcium and magnesium) with added glycyrrhizic acid (licorice extract) for anti-viral e� ects.

Manuka or local, unpasteurized honey

can help to soothe sore throats as well as adding anti-microbial e� ects to � ght infections.

Living a healthy lifestyle by eating a diet full of whole foods, fruits and veggies, exercising regularly and managing stress are the best ways to keep the immune sys-tem functioning properly throughout the year to prevent illness.

LONG WINTER DAYS can quickly bring on feelings of cabin fever. Although cabin fever is not a recognized med-ical condition, it can compromise well-being. Cabin fever can strike even the most optimis-tic people.

Cabin fever normally af-fects people during the winter months, when shortened days, longer periods of darkness and cold temperatures often force people to remain inside. � ese factors can lead to depression, boredom, anxiety, and an inability to con-centrate. Alleviating symptoms of cabin fever requires making a few changes, including get-ting outdoors whenever possible.

1. Head outside. It may be cold and dreary, but getting outside can be healthy. Take advantage of daylight hours when-ever possible. Plan a walk around the neigh-borhood before you

go to work. Otherwise, spend your lunch hour outdoors soaking up the sun’s rays. � e sun is an instant mood-booster.

2. Brighten up the indoors. Choose energizing colors like yellow, orange and red to decorate the interior of your home. Invest in lights that o� er a greater amount of wattage and brightness. Light-thera-py lamps produce bright light that simulates the sun and provides broad-spectrum rays. Sitting in front of one of these lights can alleviate feelings of seasonal af-fective disorder, or SAD.

3. Grow more indoor plants. Plants can help � lter out stale, stagnant air in the house and add moisture to the environment. Breathing fresh oxygen from these plants can provide you with energy and help you to feel revitalized.

4. Increase your exercise routine. Now could be the time to join the

gym or become part of a walking group. Ac-cording to � e Mayo Clinic, exercise can boost mood, reducing immune system chemicals that can worsen symptoms of depression. In addition, exercise increases body temperature, which may have calming e� ects, and releases feel-good brain chemicals that may ease depression.

5. � row a party. � e old saying is “misery loves company,” so why not invite friends over and banish cabin fever together? Winter tends to be alienating, as peo-ple are more inclined to bundle up and stay indoors. Forcing social-ization can brighten not only your own mood but that of others as well.

6. Get out of town. Cabin fever can be temporarily abated by a mini vaca-tion. Head somewhere that is warm and sunny. If you cannot a� ord a trip to the tropics, a brief jaunt to a spa or rela-tive’s house may banish boredom and get you out of the house.

7. Try a new hobby. Attempt an activity that marries winter with get-ting active. Ideal activi-ties include cross-coun-try skiing, ice hockey, skating, or snowshoeing.

CranioSacral Therapy Is a gentle hands-on

therapy that is applied to the soft tissues related

to the central nervous system. It can relieve pain and dysfunction as well as improve whole body health by releasing restric-tions in the soft tissues and � uid that protect your brain and spinal cord. It allows the body to relax and self-correct. It can be used to relieve a full spectrum of impairments including:

- Migraines and Head-aches

- Chronic Neck and Back Pain

- Fibromyalgia

Visceral Manipulation

Is a therapeutic approach

that encourages the normal mobility of the in-ternal organs (viscera) and their connective tissues. Di� erent factors may con-tribute to our organs losing their normal mobility, including physical trau-ma, surgery, lifestyle, in-fection, diet, posture and pregnancy to name a few. � rough gentle compression, mobili-zation and elongation of the viscera and surround-ing soft tissues, visceral manipulation techniques can help the body release unhealthy restrictions and ultimately decrease pain and dysfunction in the whole body. A few conditions that visceral manipulation can be used to treat include:

- Whiplash and Seatbelt Injuries

- Sports Injuries

- Lower Back Pain and Sciatica

- Digestive Disorders

- Post-Operative Scar Tissue Pain

- Pelvic and Hip Pain

- Anxiety and Depression

Vestibular Rehabilitation and DizzinessRegistered Physiothera-

pist RYAN SLEIK has been treating dizziness prob-lems for over 10

years. � e most common cause

of dizziness is BPPV, characterized

by vertigo (a spinning sensation) that lasts less than a minute and hap-pens after changing body position such as bending over or laying down in bed. With a careful and detail examination BPPV can often be resolved with one treatment. Many other causes of dizziness including inner ear infec-tions, neurological disease and disorders, and head injuries like concussions can be improved with the right kind of treatment.

Gray’s Compounding Pharmacy in Marys-ville, owned and op-erated by Michelle and Andy Gray, offers traditional pharmacy services as well as food sensitivity testing, hormone consulta-tions, travel vac-cinations, and our newest program, First Line Therapy. First Line Therapy is a therapeutic life-style modification program.

In my sixteen years of experience as a pharmacist, I have become very concerned when I reflect on the in-creased dependen-cy on medication for many chronic illnesses and diseas-es. These diseases could be managed more effectively with better health outcomes if we, as health care provid-ers, could impact the lifestyle and behavioral patterns of our patients.

In light of this, I have set up my new pharmacy with private clinical con-sultation rooms to provide a program called First Line Therapy, developed by Metagenics Canada. Metagen-ics is more than a professional nutra-ceutical company. They recognize the fundamental princi-ple of how lifestyle plays a major role in the health and quality of life of an individual. First Line Therapy (FLT), is a clinically prov-en, effective, first line of treatment for chronic disease. It reduces risk factors and dependency on medication. This program has a sig-nificant body of re-search to support its efficacy and proven reduction of risk factors in diabetes and heart disease. The program pro-vides the tools that enable us as health care providers to collaborate with our patients, educate,

coach and ultimate-ly empower them to improve their qual-ity of health and wellness by making lifestyle changes. One of the signifi-cant features offered in this program is a weekly BIA which is body composition testing. This is a non-invasive test to definitively measure body fat, lean body mass, hydration status, and your personal metabolic rate. This helps us to develop a person-alized program spe-cific to your needs. This enables us to ensure that weight reduction is done in a safe and sustain-able manner.

We are the only certified First Line Therapy Clinic in the East Kootenays. We are excited to offer this program and see the success-es our clients are having achieving their health goals.

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Kathy Murphy,

Chiropractor, has partnered with us to deliver the First Line Therapy Program. Kathy’s brings a wealth of health knowledge and skill to serve the needs of our clients. She has a particular inter-est in fitness and nutrition from her chiropractic back-ground and shares this knowledge in delivering the program. Michelle Gray has a wealth of experience in providing medica-tion reviews, natural health recommen-dations, counseling and lifestyle coach-ing. The dynamic duo of Michelle and Kathy with over 47 years of combined clinical experience provides a unique collaborative bene-fit to the client. Our goal is to empower you to be in charge of your health.

If you are ready to help yourself, then First Line Therapy is the program for you.

Looking for a career that allows you to make a real difference in the lives of others? Consider the challenging and rewarding health care field. There is no better time than right now to prepare for and enter this high-demand line of work.

We work with industry to ensure you receive learning experiences in leading edge health care to meet the needs of future employers and the citizens you will serve.

College of Rockies

Connecting Mind, Body and Health

Start your health care education in one of these areas:

Learn more about Health programs at: www.cotr.bc.ca/Health

� Kinesiology � Health Care Assistant � Practical Nursing � Bachelor of Science in Nursing � Dental Assistant

Interested in a career in an industry that helps you to support the well-being of others? A Health program at College of the Rockies may be the right fit for you. We offer Kinesiology, Practical Nursing, Health Care Assistant and more.

Kinesiology is the study of human movement.

Interest in this disci-pline reflects a growing concern with human health and wellness and is applied in physical and occupa-tional therapy as well as within the sport and exercise industries.

The Kinesiology pro-gram at College of the Rockies is a two-year diploma with either an Instruction/Personal Training or Exercise Science focus. Through current transfer agree-ments, students can complete the diploma here and then transfer directly to Year 3 at

University of British Columbia – Okana-gan, Camosun College or University of the Fraser Valley. Addi-tional transfer options to other BC Universities are also available.

Graduates of the Kine-siology program have gone on to such varied careers as athletic ther-apists, personal train-ers, physiotherapists, high-performance coaching, chiropractors and physical education specialists and more.

Stephanie Hornquist, a recent graduate,

has high praise for the program, “As a graduate student, I believe that most of my educational success is due to the knowl-edge I gained from the kinesiology program at COTR. The professors really take the time to prepare students to be successful not only for examinations, but for their future educational endeavours. Kinesiolo-gy gave me the oppor-tunity to explore the different aspects of the Health and Wellness field and ultimately led me to pursue a doc-torate in chiropractic medicine.”

Kinesiology diploma students also have the opportunity to become certified with the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) as Certified Per-sonal Trainers (CPT). Recognized as the gold

standard in personal training certification in Canada, this training is often not provided until third or fourth year of degree programs, giving COTR students a decided advantage.

College of the Rock-ies’ Practical Nursing program is a two-year diploma program that prepares graduates to provide qualified professional care to in-dividuals and families in a variety of settings. As with many health care careers, Work-BC lists the demand growth and job stability for Licensed Practical Nurses as excellent making this an ideal time to consider LPN as a career option.

With a fully equipped nursing ward at the Cranbrook main cam-pus, students in the Practical Nursing and

Bachelor of Nursing programs receive hands-on learning that prepares them for real-life workplace scenarios.

The Health Care As-sistant program at the College is the perfect fit for anyone looking for entry into the health care field in a shorter period of time. The six-month program covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to provide personal care to individuals in residential care as well as in community settings. This program is offered yearly at the Cranbrook main cam-pus and also at some regional campuses on a rotational basis.

And of course, our very popular Certified Dental Assistant and Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs con-

tinue to be offered in Cranbrook each year.

Looking for more in-formation about these or other College of the Rockies programs? Drop by the cafeteria area of the Cranbrook main campus for the Open House on Wednesday, February 5 between 4 and 6 pm. Faculty and staff will be on hand to answer any questions you may have and there will be interactive demon-strations by both the Kinesiology and Practi-cal Nursing programs. Now is a great time to explore a career that incorporates the mind, body, health connec-tion.

WASHINGTON — Next time you call someone a Neanderthal, better look in a mirror. Many of the genes that help determine most people’s skin and hair are more Neanderthal than not, according to two new stud-ies that look at the DNA fos-sils hidden in the modern human genome.

About 50,000 years ago, modern day humans mi-grated out of Africa north to Europe and East Asia and met up with furrow-browed Neanderthals that had been in the colder climates for more than 100,000 years. Some of the two species mated. And then the Nean-derthals died off as a spe-cies — except for what’s left inside of us.

Scientists isolated the parts of the modern human genetic blueprint that still contain Neanderthal rem-nants. Overall, it’s barely more than 1 per cent, said two studies released

Wednesday in the journals Nature and Science.

However, in some plac-es, such as the DNA related to the skin, the genetic in-structions are as much as 70 per cent Neanderthal and in other places there’s virtu-ally nothing from the spe-cies that’s often portrayed as brutish cavemen.

The difference between where Neanderthal DNA is plentiful and where it’s ab-sent may help scientists un-derstand what in our ge-nome “makes humans human,” said University of Washington genome scien-tist Joshua Akey, lead au-thor of the paper in Science.

The studies mostly ex-amined the genomes of people whose ancestors left Africa at some point. People whose ancestors have all stayed in Africa have almost no Neanderthal DNA be-cause there was little inter-breeding.

Harvard University re-searcher Sriram Sankarara-

man, the lead author of the Nature study, said the place where Neanderthal DNA seemed to have the most influence in the modern human genome has to do with skin and hair. Akey said those instructions are as much as 70 per cent Ne-anderthal.

“We’re more Neander-thal than not in those genes,” Akey said.

However, Sankararaman cautions that scientists don’t yet know just what the Neanderthal DNA dictates in our skin and hair.

Sarah Tishkoff, a profes-sor of genetics and biology at the University of Pennsyl-vania who was not part of either study, theorized that the Neanderthal DNA prob-ably helped the darker hu-mans out of Africa cope

with the cooler less bright north. Living in the cooler Europe means less ultravio-let light and less vitamin D from the sun. Darker skin blocks more of those need-ed rays, so lighter skin is more advantageous in the north and it seems that hu-mans adopted that Nean-derthal adaptation, she said.

BERLIN — A herd of dairy cows nearly lifted the roof off their barn in central Germany when methane released by the animals caused an ex-plosion.

Police in Hesse state said in a statement that a static electric charge apparently triggered the detonation, and a spurt of flame, on Monday at a farm in Rasdorf. The roof was slightly dam-aged and one cow suf-fered light burns. No people were hurt.

Police say 90 cows are kept in the shed and it wasn’t clear why quantities of methane had built up. Bovine belching and flatulence releases large quantities of the gas.

NEW YORK — A simple lab treatment can turn or-dinary cells from mice into stem cells, according to a surprising study that hints at a possible new way to grow tissue for treating ill-nesses like diabetes and Parkinson’s disease.

Researchers in Boston and Japan exposed cells from spleens of newborn mice to a more acidic envi-ronment that they’re used to. In lab tests, that turned them into stem cells, show-ing enough versatility to produce the tissues of a mouse embryo, for exam-ple.

Cells from skin, muscle, fat and other tissue of new-born mice appeared to go through the same change, which could be triggered by exposing cells to any of a variety of stressful situa-tions, researchers said.

Scientists hope to har-ness stem cells to replace defective tissue in a wide variety of diseases. By mak-ing stem cells from the pa-tient, they can get around the problem of transplant rejection.

Human cells are now routinely turned into so-

called “iPS” stem cells. That involves reprogramming an ordinary cell by slipping genes or substances into its nucleus. The new method, in contrast, lets the cell change its own behaviour after researchers have ap-plied an external stress.

“It’s very simple to do. I think you could do this ac-tually in a college lab,” said Dr. Charles Vacanti of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, an au-thor of two papers pub-lished online Wednesday by the journal Nature.

Vacanti also acknowl-edged that if the technique works with human cells, it could conceivably provide a new potential route for cloning people. He has no interest in doing that, he said, but “it is a concern.”

Another author, Haruko Obokata of the RIKEN Cen-ter for Developmental Biol-ogy in Kobe, Japan, said re-searchers are now studying whether the technique works with human cells. She also said it’s premature to compare it to iPS tech-nology in terms of potential

medical uses.Experts not connected

to the study said the results are surprising, and that it’s too soon to know their practical implications.

“Until you show it works in humans, it’s hard to know what the application is going to be,” said William Lowry, a developmental bi-ologist at the University of California, Los Angeles. “For now, the question of whether it’s a lab curiosity or a big medical benefit, that’s still up in the air.”

LONDON — It’s not all Greek to yogurt makers.

A British court has ruled that Chobani, the company leading the bur-geoning Greek yogurt market in the U.S., cannot label its products “Greek” in the U.K. because they are made in America.

Chobani said Wednes-day it was disappointed with the ruling, but added that “the fight is not over” and it would continue the legal battle.

The court case was brought by Chobani’s rival Fage, a Greek com-pany, soon after New York-based Chobani launched their products in the U.K. in 2012. Fage has dominated sales of Greek yogurt in Britain under the “Total” brand for decades.

A judge ruled last year that Chobani’s “Greek yo-gurt” label misled British customers, agreeing with Fage that products la-beled Greek yogurt — which is made by strain-ing off the whey to achieve a thick and creamy tex-ture — have to be made in Greece.

Justice Michael Briggs also granted an injunc-tion preventing Chobani from labeling their prod-uct “Greek yogurt” in Brit-ain.

Chobani appealed that decision, but a panel of three judges at the Court of Appeal dismissed it on Tuesday.

The company said it would appeal again, this time to the Supreme Court.

“We remain of the view that the population of the U.K. know and under-stand Greek yogurt to be a product description re-gardless of where it is made,” it said in a state-ment. “We remain com-mitted to the U.K. market and to breaking the mo-nopoly on the use of the term Greek yogurt en-joyed by Fage.”

Chobani, which was first launched in 2007, has grown rapidly since then to become the top seller of Greek yogurt in the U.S.

The company with-drew its products from British shelves last year, saying at the time that it wanted to relaunch later with local sourcing cre-dentials.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might discover that a partner has very different ideas about how to approach a

certain topic. Finding a middle ground could be a difficult is-sue. Perhaps step one is simply accepting where you both are mentally. Tonight: Pay bills first. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Beam in more of what you desire. You are likely to change your direction and/or get a chance at a new beginning. You have a lot of energy for handling what is becoming a very full plate of responsibilities. Don’t shy away from a loved one. To-night: Visit with a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Use this period to gain informa-tion and to question your direc-tion. Listen to your inner voice when dealing with a child or a difficult person. Reflect rather than act; listen rather than speak. You’ll gain much more insight this way, which will be helpful later. Tonight: Not to be found. BORN TODAY Former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882), former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney (1941), actor Christian Bale (1974)

Dear Annie: I have a 40-year-old daughter who is lazy. When she injures herself, has surgery or is sick, I wait on her like she’s a baby. But I recently needed surgery myself, and she has no interest in helping me at all. A while back, I hired someone to clean her bedroom. It took two days. It was absolutely disgusting. Now that I can’t pick up after her, it’s getting bad again. If I say anything to her, she throws a tantrum. I’m getting too old for this. -- Can’t Take the Arguments Dear Can’t: You’re too old? Your daughter is 40 and still lives at home and expects her mother to clean her room. We do not under-stand parents who tacitly encourage their children to behave like babies and treat par-ents like servants and then complain when they do. Unless your daughter is incapable of holding a job and living independently, tell her it’s time she found a place of her own. At the very least, insist that she pay you rent. Do not clean her room. Close the door and let her deal with her own mess. Dear Annie: My husband is an account ex-ecutive for a large company. He earns a good salary and travels frequently on business. He has to pay all of his expenses out of his own pocket and then submit expense reports for reimbursement. He is supposed to submit the forms at the end of each month for pay-ment at the end of the following month. It’s tight for us, but tolerable. Here’s the problem. For whatever reason, the expense checks are often not given out on time. Sometimes my husband has to wait three or four months before being reim-bursed. These are not $40 lunches. We are talking about hundreds of dollars of airline and hotel expenses, plus entertaining and feeding clients. Over four months, that can turn into thousands of dollars. Please don’t misunderstand. I realize we’re lucky to make a good living. But we are not super-wealthy. We have two kids in college and medical bills for my mother, and frank-ly, we’re not in the position to loan my hus-band’s company all of this money with no interest. My husband is always quick to defend the company, saying they didn’t get the infor-mation on time or the person writing the checks was on vacation. I think he’s afraid of rocking the boat. Is there anything I can do? -- Not the Company’s Bank Dear Bank: Are you certain your husband is submitting his expenses on time? He could be telling you it’s the company’s fault to cover his own tardiness. It is also possible the company is having its own cash-flow problems and the late checks are only the tip of the iceberg. Nonetheless, it is your hus-band’s responsibility to handle this. Surely, he cannot be the only one who is having this particular problem. Perhaps he and other co-workers in the same situation could ap-proach the boss together and find out what is going on. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Not a Lawyer,” who questioned why attorneys seem unwilling to give free legal advice. I come from a family of lawyers and doc-tors. I learned that none would give free professional advice. The reason is twofold: First, the majority of questions can only be answered by “it depends on the situation.” Second is the possibility of being sued for malpractice. You have no idea how many confused people have misunderstood a pro-fessional’s opinion, especially when given in a casual setting with little or no case history. I have yet to hear of a chef being sued for malpractice because he advised how to pre-pare a steak. -- Been There, Won’t Do It Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

OTTAWA — Densely populated urban cen-tres in the country’s largest cities will be the last to lose their door-to-door delivery service, Canada Post said Wednesday.

The postal service said the older neigh-bourhoods and smaller lots in urban cores pres-ent different challenges for locating community mailboxes than subur-ban areas.

So, Canada Post says it will leave the majority of those areas until the final stage of its plan to phase out door-to-door mail delivery.

“The postal service will take the necessary time to understand their unique needs and find solutions that work for these neighbourhoods,’’ Canada Post said in a statement.

The postal service also said it was working

to address the needs of seniors and disabled Canadians.

“Canada Post is de-veloping alternative ap-proaches for people with significant mobility challenges, who lack vi-able alternatives and upon whom delivery to a community mailbox would impose an unac-ceptable hardship,’’ it said.

The post office was widely criticized when it announced its plan to phase out home deliv-ery late last year. Under the plan, mail for those who currently receive door-to-door service will be delivered to communal neighbour-hood “superboxes.’’

About one-third of Canadian households receive their mail at their door. The rest pick up their mail at a central location, like an apart-ment lobby or commu-nity mailbox, or rural

mailboxes.The federal Crown

corporation has said it hopes to realize up to $900 million a year under the plan to re-place home delivery with community mail boxes and by raising

postal rates and cutting thousands of jobs.

The move to com-munity mail boxes is expected to account for $400 million to $500 million in savings once it is fully imple-mented.

Smaller cities first to lose door-to-door service, Canada Post says

OTTAWA — A government-com-missioned risk analysis says the coast of southern British Columbia and the Gulf of St. Lawrence are the Canadian areas most vulnerable ma-rine oil spills and among the most likely for a major spill to occur.

The findings will add to the de-bate over several pipeline proposals — including two in B.C. that the re-port says will substantially increase marine risks.

The 256-page study, delivered this month to Transport Canada, looks at the risks associated with marine oil spills south of the 60th parallel under current shipping vol-umes.

It identifies the southern tip of Vancouver Island, the Cabot Strait off Newfoundland, the eastern coast of Cape Breton Island and the Gulf of St. Lawrence as the most probable areas for a major oil spill.

But the study also assesses the potential impact of four proposed

pipeline projects, including the Northern Gateway Pipeline to Kiti-mat and Kinder Morgan’s plan to al-most triple its Trans Mountain line into Vancouver.

The report says the Kinder Mor-gan proposal would essentially dou-ble oil traffic in an already vulnerable marine environment — with a corre-sponding increase in spill frequency — while the Northern Gateway ma-rine route would turn what are cur-rently very low, near-shore risks into very high risks.

The study found that reversing Enbridge’s Line 9 to carry Western Canadian crude to refineries in Montreal and Quebec City would actually lower marine spill risks, as it would reduce oil imports through the sensitive Gulf of St. Lawrence.

And the study found that the pro-posed Energy East Pipeline to St. John, N.B., would likely be a wash, reducing shipping imports but in-creasing oil exports to leave the over-all marine risk about where it is now.

BAYONNE, N.J. — Passengers aboard a cruise ship on which hundreds fell ill recalled days of misery holed up in their rooms or the in-firmary as the Explorer of the Seas returned to its home port Wednes-day after a Caribbean trip cut short by a sus-pected outbreak of nor-ovirus.

Retiree Bill Rako-wicz, 61, from the city of St. Thomas in Ontario, Canada, said he thought he was just seasick when he began suffering from vomiting, pain and diar-rhea caused by the out-break that sickened nearly 700 passengers and crew.

“Then I went out of my room and saw peo-ple with gloves and peo-ple sick everywhere,’’ he said.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said its latest count puts the number of those sickened at 630 passengers and 54 crew members. The ship, on a 10-day cruise that had to be cut short, was car-rying 3,050 passengers.

Health investigators suspect norovirus, but lab results are not ex-pected until later this week. If norovirus is to blame, it would be one of the largest norovirus

Submitted

An aerial view of passengers aboard Royal Caribbean International’s Explorer of the Seas as it arrives at port in Bayonne, New Jersey, Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014.

Passengers recall days of misery after nearly 700 sickened on cruise ship

outbreaks in the last 20 years, the CDC said. A 2006 norovirus outbreak on a Carnival Cruise Lines ship also sickened close to 700.

Pastor Sue Rogutski, of Bloomsburg, Pa., said she got so sick she was quarantined for three days. She said her hus-band, Leonard, a nurse who only fell ill toward the end of the trip and less severely than her, had to carry her down from their room to the sick bay.

Norovirus — once known as Norwalk virus — is highly contagious. It can be picked up from an infected person, con-

taminated food or water or by touching contami-nated surfaces. Some-times mistaken for the stomach flu, the virus causes bouts of vomit-ing and diarrhea for a few days.

The cruise line said most guests who fell ill were up and about as the ship headed to port.

One woman aboard the Explorer of the Seas yelled, “We made it!’’ as the ship docked.

The CDC said it rec-ommended to Royal Ca-ribbean that people who still have serious symptoms be linked to medical care, and per-haps given the option of

staying in nearby hotels before travelling home.

CDC investigators boarded the ship during its U.S. Virgin Islands Port call on Sunday. They said no food or water source or other or-igin has been identified.

Royal Caribbean is providing all guests a 50 per cent refund of their cruise fares and an ad-ditional 50 per cent fu-ture cruise credit.

After returning to port, the ship will be sanitized and no one will be allowed aboard for a period of more than 24 hours as an extra precaution, the cruise line said.

employee of a McDon-ald’s restaurant in Pitts-burgh was charged Wednesday with selling heroin in child-oriented Happy Meals to custom-ers using the coded re-quest “I’d like to order a toy.’’

Authorities made the arrest after an informant told them that an em-ployee was selling the drug.

Customers looking for heroin were instruct-ed to go through the drive-thru and say, “I’d like to order a toy,’’ said Mike Manko, spokes-man for District Attor-ney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. The customer would then drive to the win-dow, hand over the

who pulled over the car she was a passenger in would get dispatched to the fake crime.

Authorities say Jimenez called 911 while the officer was checking her friend’s in-formation.

Police say Jimenez later admitted making the entire story up so the officer would rush to the

Just off the Caribbean coast from Playa del Carmen on the Mayan Riviera of Mexico lies the lovely island of Cozu-mel. When you’d like to downsize the busy, crowded, touristy Mexi-can sun package, try Co-zumel instead.

Cozumel is just 48 ki-lometres long and 16 ki-lometres wide. The May-ans settled here about 1000 AD and the Span-ish first arrived in 1518.

The main town is San Miguel with a popula-tion of 77,000. Year-round temperatures are between 25 and 35 de-grees Celsius and water temperature remains about 28 degrees.

The biggest attrac-tion is the proximity of the Mesoamerican Reef, which creates great div-ing experiences. With over 250 species of trop-ical fish, turtles, sting-

rays, the queen angel-fish, and the only place to find the elusive toad-fish, scuba and snor-kelling are popular ac-tivities.

If you’re not in the water, you’re in the jun-gle — the entire island is covered in dense jungle, with deep water cenotes (sinkholes) often found. Unless you are a quali-fied cave diver, swim-ming in the cenotes here is not recommend-ed.

This small island has a wide variety of great activities and attrac-tions. There are two ‘swim with the dolphins’ parks; zipline; parasail-ing and kitesurfing; fish-ing; submarine adven-ture; and golf. The Nick-laus-designed course is home to blue crabs, iguanas, crocodiles, rac-coons and birds.

Shopping for fine sil-

ver and onyx jewellery, leather goods, pottery, tequila and spices is also a rewarding past time.

Eating, drinking and relaxing are great past times too! From taco breakfasts at Carlos ‘n Charlies to fine Mayan dining at the 60-year-old Casa Denis; or live music, sunset sails, salsa dancing or candlelit din-ners on the beach – there is something for every-one.

Cozumel is easy to reach. You can fly di-rectly (though not non-stop) to the island from Canada or the USA, or you can fly to Cancun and catch the Mayair shuttle – a 20 minute flight, five round trips daily. Or take the ferry from Playa del Carmen – regular schedule all day long, 30 minutes, round trip about

Isla Cozumel – one step away from the crowdsMaritime Travel’s Carla Nelson explains why Cozumel is a more mellow Mexican

destination than the touristy resorts

$16USD.And did I mention

there is lots to do there! Within the Chankanaab National Park is the Punta Sur Eco Park. Rent yourself a jeep and go

exploring. You will find the San Gervasio Mayan Ruins and maybe the Pearl Farm.

Or spend the day at the ‘theme park’ Playa Mia Grand Beach Park

(kayaks, hobie cats, water trampoline, ham-mocks, underwater Mayan city, mariachi bands).

Or head for Isla Pa-sion, a beautiful private

island. For a tiny island, it

sure has a lot to offer! For more informa-

tion, contact Carla Nel-son at Maritime Travel, 250-489-4788.

The Mesoamerican Reef off Isla Cozumel creates great diving experiences.

Hi, I'm Randy Willoughby with Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza in Cranbrook. Bonnie and I have been using the services of Knight & Co. since 2007. As a new business we have found Gary and the staff to be a wealth of information. They have given tons of advice on how to structure our business and achieve success. Great staff and great people. We recommend Knight & Co. to you.

randy willoughby:

Our Canadian in-come tax sys-tem says that

when you die you are deemed to sell ALL of the assets that you own and any income tax ow-ing is due and payable to the Government of Canada. When the per-son passing away is the main family income earner, it becomes very quickly important that there is sufficient cash or near-cash assets available to pay the un-

expected income tax bill. Unfortunately this is a time when the fam-ily’s cash flow is dra-matically reduced and all the available cash is needed for the family’s needs not to be paying income tax.

In addition to the fami-ly needing income for basic needs as food, shelter and clothing there is also a need to ensure that debts, mort-gages, and other liabili-ties, which would be-

come due in the event of death of the primary income earner, are paid off.

In many situations, an individual may have es-tate needs of a perma-nent nature. For exam-ple, estate assets may have to be sold to pro-vide cash for the in-come tax arising from deferred capital gains, recaptured amortiza-tion, or other income taxes at the time of death. Also, there may be a tax liability arise because registered re-tirement savings plans (RRSP) and registered re t i rement income funds (RRIF) had to be cashed in or were paid to a non-spousal bene-ficiary.

The deceased individu-al may have had a de-

sire to make a large do-nation to a favorite charity. In order to com-ply with the deceased’s wishes possibly estate assets may have to be sold to allow the dona-tion to be made.

So, would you use life insurance for any of the above estate situations? As much as you may not want to spend mon-ey for life insurance, the alternative is that that donation you wanted to make or the size of the estate you wanted to leave to your beneficia-ries is greatly reduced by income tax.

Income tax IS part of your estate plan wheth-er your like it or not. And insurance can also be a part of your estate plan to help you deal with the income tax part

of you plan.

There are many facets to insurance, which is beyond my area of ex-pertise, but I think you can see that life insur-ance could be a valu-able strategy in your es-tate plan.------------------------------------G a r y K n i g h t , C.M.A.,C.G.A.,T.E.P. author of “The Problem Solver” is owner of Knight & Co., Certified Genera l Accountant , in Cranbrook, B.C.

Every business owner or manager knows that competitive pricing is only part of what en-courages customer loyalty. The entire shop-

ping experience and working environment created by employers and staff can establish your business as the top choice for consumers.

College of the Rockies has partnered with the Cranbrook & District Chamber of Commerce and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy for a FREE Business Without Borders Workshop for lo-cal business owners and managers to be held at College of the Rockies in room #151 on Wednes-day, February 5th, 2014 from 6pm to 8pm. The Benefits of a Diverse Workforce and the BFOR Criteria, which helps to reduce employee turnover, are only two of the topics discussed and explored

through group activities. Other topics include im-proving staff communication, developing loyalty and commitment as well as considering new Cana-dians in your succession plan.

Those interested in broadening business strategies to include finding and learning new ways to in-crease clientele and staff communication MUST REGISTER to participate by calling the Cranbrook & District Chamber of Commerce at (250) 426-5914 or by email to [email protected].

Business Without Borders, a Welcoming Commu-nities Project funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia, is offering workshops at no cost until March 31st, 2014.

Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan has been protecting Canadian firms for over 40 years. From Victoria to St. John’s, over 25,000 small to medium-sized businesses use the Chambers Plan to protect their em-ployees with comprehensive group benefits including dental and health insurance - mak-ing it Canada’s #1 employee benefits plan for small business.

Thousands of small business owners join the Chambers Plan each year because it’s the simple, stable, smart choice for their busi-ness: combining accessibility, flexible options

and pooled benefits that add stability to their employee benefits.
