Real estate still strong in Trail
PREPARING FOR THE PLUNGE
BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
Real estate market prices slipped slightly in the Kootenays in 2012, but Greater Trail managed to keep its footing. Sales were up for units of residential detached homes across both the East and West Kootenay, but average sales prices were down marginally. In Trail the number of sales of homes was definitely up, said ReMax owner Tom Gawryletz, buoyed by an influx of young families and a stable local economy. “They are ex-Trail people and they are buying some properties and getting re-established in the area,” he said about the bump in sales. “And I don’t think there are as many people leaving the area ... like there used to be.” The average residential detached Kootenay home sold for $288,379, down from $290,365 in 2011. The highest average in the last 20 years was in 2008 at $316,600. That average is far below where the market sits in Trail. The latest average residential assessment for See SALES, Page 3

Rossland gearing up for early morning party CTV’s Canada AM set to begin national broadcast at 2:30 a.m. on Friday BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Alarms are set for an early-morning wake up call in Rossland. The city will kick off its 116th winter carnival by hosting a CTV crew and a live broadcast of its Canada AM morning show beginning Friday morning at 2:30 a.m.
To encourage a large and lively turnout for the early broadcast, Tourism Rossland is asking local businesses and residents to get involved and community groups to come out in big numbers. The city is even offering a cash donation to non-profit groups as an incentive. Groups with 25 people will receive a donation of $250 and groups of over 50 people will receive $500, said Deanne Steven, executive director for Tourism Rossland.
So far about 10 organizations, ranging from boy scouts to roller derby queens, have committed to turning up, smiling for the camera and adding character to the crowd during the wee hours. Many stores will be open and offering sales on merchandise. There will also be over $4000 worth of gift certificates from those retailers handed out in draws, said Steven. She explained groups and single guests are asked to sign in at the Rossland Public Library on
Columbia Ave. Each group and individual that does sign in will receive a voucher for coffee and a ticket for door prizes that will be raffled off until 6 a.m. “I think we are going to have a strong turnout,” said Steven. “We are asking all of the businesses downtown to keep their lights on so that Rossland looks really lit up for the program.” To enter a group or for more information, contact Steven at 2311247.

Finding a golden fit
L
ast week’s column introduced a wide range of terms including distribution, honours, danger hand and finesse to the newcomer. Who knew bridge had danger? Let’s continue with another example of a Whist deal and count the points. North has 12 points, East has 4, South has 15 and West has 9. South becomes the declarer having the most points. As we saw last week, if North and South have a combined suit of eight cards or more, they have what is called a golden fit and declarer will name that suit the trump suit. North tells the table that his distribution is 2-5-4-2 showing his length in spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs (reverse alphabetical order) respectively. This time they have a golden fit in hearts with a combined nine cards. It is a fact that if North and South have a nine-card fit then East and West are

guaranteed an eightcard fit in one of the other suits. Here they have two. You may get a deck of cards and move the cards around to convince yourself of this fact. Distribution declarer can see (in his hand and in dummy) often has implications for the distribution of hands he cannot see, namely the opponents’ hands. The importance of this fact becomes very apparent when competitive bidding is involved. Bidding will be introduced next week. North and South have the security of a trump suit so that East and West cannot run their own suit when they kick out the ace and king of clubs.
Because there is a trump suit, each trick is won by the highest card of the suit led unless there is trump. When there is one or more trump present in a trick, it is the highest trump that wins the trick. One can play a trump if either a trump is led or one does not have any cards of the suit that was led. The Lead: West leads the queen of clubs, a natural lead. Last week, in a notrump contract, South ducked. Here because of trump there is no reason to duck. Declarer wins the ace of clubs. The Play: Eight Ever Nine Never When only the queen is missing, in an eight-card fit, declarer will always (ever) finesse for the queen. With a nine-card fit, declarer will never finesse for the queen and will play for the drop, cashing the ace and king. As with most rules, even the alliterative (the e’s and n’s in eight ever and nine never) ones, there can

be exceptions. These appear in other columns. Declarer draws two rounds of trump, ruffs a club and then plays a small spade towards the king. It holds but the ace wins the queen when declarer leads back to his hand. Honours that are not touching in the same hand must be led up to from the other hand. That is the beauty of touching honours. They do not need transportation to be played. Transportation means getting to the other hand and leading up to the honour. Touching honours can just be played most of the time. West returns a spade
after winning the ace which declarer ruffs. He then uses a trump to get back into his hand to play the diamond finesse. He leads the Queen of diamonds towards dummy and lets it ride if it is not covered. It loses to the King. Declarer can now claim. Claiming is an important part of the game even if one does not play duplicate. It allows one to get the most amount of bridge played in a given time frame. Declarer wins eleven tricks. We subtract book which is defined to be the number six from the number of tricks won and we get five. Declarer has just made five hearts.

Despite early snowfalls, local removal budgets on track By Sheri Regnier Times Staff
Despite two major snow events in December, the City of Trail remains well within its 2012 budget for snow removal. Patrick Gauvreau, Trail’s public works road and ground superintendent, said the city has plowed through $200,000 of its approximately $560,000 it budgeted for the season. “Overall, we have spent roughly the same amount as in 2010 and 2011,” he said. “Which tells me that this year has been no different than previous.” The same can’t be said for Rossland however. The winter wallop coupled with its downtown renovations has taken a big bite of its 2012 snow removal budget. “We are over budget approximately 9.5 per cent for the 2012 season,” said Darrin Albo,
manager of operations. “We budget $479,400 for snow clearing. This includes snow removal, plowing and sanding for all city streets, not including side walks,” he added. Albo said the city’s newly paved bump outs downtown take a little more time and effort to clear. Fruitvale remains on pace to meet its budget of around $170,000 while Warfield didn’t respond to questions regarding its snowclearing budget. A little further afield, the Village of Salmo allocated $80,500 for its 2012 snow removal season. At a glance, the city is under budget by $1,700, said Scott Sommerville, chief administrative officer for the village. Due to elevation, Salmo gets a fair amount of snow compared to its neighboring communities, said Sommerville.

Christina Lake
Charges dropped against ‘Bear Dude’ By Karl Yu
Grand Forks Gazette
The Christina Lake man fined for feeding bears last year has seen charges of production and possession of marijuana dropped. Allen Piche and ex-wife Kathleen Wickie were charged with growing and possessing marijuana for the purpose of trafficking on their property after RCMP found a sizable amount of marijuana plants (over 800) while executing a warrant in July 2010. Docile bears were found on the premises by police at the time. However, a judge found discrepancies in RCMP testimony and the search warrant and had the charges dropped. Piche, who has come to be known as the “Bear Dude,” was happy that he no longer has to worry about the case. “I’m very relieved by it all, it took a long time and I’m glad that it’s over and I can get on
with my life,” he said. A house on Piche’s property was destroyed by fire last August and while it was originally labeled as suspicious, the subsequent investigation found that it was not caused by a criminal act. Piche stood to lose the property, as it was being used for unlawful activity, but it doesn’t look like the province’s civil forfeiture branch will seize it now. “Once they found out I didn’t burn it, they just said, ‘You keep the property and just be a good boy for three years (probation).’ No bear feeding, no pot growing,” Piche explained. Piche is currently in Ontario visiting relatives but will make plans to rebuild the house when he returns in the summer. “It won’t be happening next summer, it’s going to take a lot of thought and clean up,” Piche said, adding that fences would have to go up to keep the bears out.
‘weirding’ is resulting in more frequent ‘rainon-snow’ events,” said Sommerville. “And this is a challenge we deal with.” The City of Trail has “snow removal proced-
ures” which prioritize the urgency of removing snow from streets based on usage and what types of businesses are located on those streets, explained Gauvreau.
He said that the first priority is major collectors, emergency routes, and hills with extreme gradients and significant volume, such as Green Avenue. Next are the bus
routes, downtown core, hills with lighter traffic volumes and all remaining residential streets and parking spots. “When all five priority areas have been completed, lanes will be plowed and all other streets widened.” Any money remaining in Trail’s snow removal budget at the end of the year is reallocated into a surplus account for other projects or to offset future snow removal costs. Gauvreau has been working for the city’s public works since last August, after relocating from Alberta. His personal observation is that this area receives more snow without the cold frigid temperatures that Northern Alberta is known to get. “I feel like I’ve won the lottery,” he said. “I am enjoying the Trail weather, I do not miss the Northern Alberta winters.”
Sales up slightly across Kootenays
FROM PAGE 1 Trail dropped $3,000 to $174,000 from one year ago, according to B.C. Assessment. Gawryletz said the majority of the movement has been in the neighbourhoods of East Trail and Glenmerry. Across the East and West Kootenay in 2012, 1,312 homes sold in 2012, slightly more than the last two years, but down significantly than the last 20 years, with only 1995 having lower sales figures at 1,229. Through the years Trail and the surrounding communities have weathered the real estate storms due to the “stabilizers in the area” such as Teck Trail Operations and the industrial park, said Century 21 Kootenay Homes owner Richard Daoust. “They are hiring new people to take over the old spots (at Teck),” he said. “So it’s creating a bit more of a buyer’s cycle. But prices haven’t moved, if anything.” Daoust said prices in Greater Trail were down from the year
before by four per cent, but sales weren’t. “Our area, on a per capita basis, was higher than all of the other towns in the Kootenay Real Estate Board,” he said. A November report by the Coldwell Banker real estate corporation placed Trail in the top10 for most affordable real estate markets in the country, comparing the sale price of similar fourbedroom, two-bathroom homes in each area. Trail placed seventh among most affordable in Canada, with an average four-bedroom, twobathroom home listing for just
over $232,000 while Windsor, Ont. took the top spot at $170,991. Gawryletz said Rossland has continued to struggle as they have been for the last few years, but Montrose and Fruitvale were on par with year before. “There are not as many young families moving to Rossland,” he said, pointing to the area’s overbuilt condominium market and the drying up of the U.S. Market as reasons as well. “Because of the values across the border, a lot of the people are buying across the line instead of in Canada,” he noted.

Provincial Surrey
City says ‘No’ to casino THE CANADIAN PRESS SURREY, B.C. - Residents opposed to a $100-million casino complex in Surrey have swayed the city to reject the project that proponents touted as an economic boost for British Columbia’s fastgrowing city. Council ditched the controversial proposal with a 5 to 4 vote at 2 a.m. Saturday after a packed public hearing that began Monday night was carried over to Friday and stretched into the next morning. Eight councillors cast four votes each for and against the project before Mayor Dianne Watts defeated it with her tie-breaking vote. Watts said she was initially in favour of the development that would have brought much-needed revenue to the city, but changed her mind during the consultation process when there was significant pushback from the No side. “For me, it was certainly a very difficult decision, without a doubt,” Watts said Saturday afternoon. “Looking at one side of the ledger you’ve got the taxes and the jobs and the amenities that we need. And on the other side you’re looking at it from the city’s perspective, the community’s perspective, and how we’ve evolved as a city, what our values are, what our vision is,” she said. The project that was slated to include a hotel and convention centre was proposed by Gateway
Casinos and Entertainment Ltd. The company wanted to move a temporary gaming licence it had for a much smaller facility elsewhere in the city and was backed by the BC Lottery Corp. “I didn’t particularly want a casino but you sort of take the good with the bad,” Watts said of her initial reaction to the proposal. “But when I’m hearing loud and clear that this is contrary to the vision people have of their city then you’ve got to pause.” She said a hotel and convention centre on their own would not have generated enough revenue. Residents against the megaentertainment complex said it would invite crime and traffic congestion to the south Surrey neighbourhood, which isn’t accessible by transit. Phil Embley criticized the BC Lottery Corp. for urging the city to approve the licence. “This is a Crown corporation and they represent all of us,” he said. “They also have a regulatory role so what are they doing being a regulator and then cheering for this?” Embley said he didn’t want another gambling establishment in a city where the Fraser Downs casino already exists and causes “social problems” among vulnerable citizens. Two years ago, Vancouver city council also rejected a proposed casino in the city’s downtown.
Solutions offered for ice on bridge THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - Several possible solutions have been announced for the ice buildup problem for Metro Vancouver’s Port Mann Bridge, in hopes of preventing more socalled ice bombs from
falling onto vehicles. Now the B.C. government says engineers have found a few possible solutions to the problem, including a custom-designed cable sweeper and icerepellent coatings to prevent ice buildup.
The sweeper would fit around the outside the cable and be lowered and raised along each of the 152 bridge cables by winch. Four different types of de-icing solutions are being tested .

Janet Schwartz is gives her pet deer Bimbo a treat inside her home near Ucluelet, on Saturday as friend Mike Miller looks on.
Woman gets to keep deer
THE CANADIAN PRESS UCLUELET, B.C. Inside their one-storey, metal-roofed, plywood shack on Vancouver Island’s rugged west coast, Janet Schwartz and her domesticated deer, Bimbo, are returning to their normal lives. Against the background noise of a buzzing generator, professional wrestlers jostle across the screen of a satellite TV as Bimbo snatches and then gobbles down a cigarette from the lips of a couch-bound, 70-year-old boarder named Mike Miller. The law - represented by men and women dressed in black uniforms and carrying guns - is no longer threatening to forcibly separate Schwartz and Bimbo, freeing the 10-year-old doe potentially to the fates of the surrounding rainforest and its hungry wolves and black bears. Once again, a sense of peace permeates this home that flies a faded and weathered
Canadian flag from the corner of an outside wall. “We love each other,” said Schwartz who turned 70 on Saturday. “She’ll come up to me and she’ll kiss me right on the lips, like a man kisses a woman. She does the same thing. She kisses.” For four days last week, Schwartz’ life turned as rocky and pitted as the undulating logging road that connects her life to the outside world. Conservation officers had arrived at the property beneath snow-capped mountains and at the bottom of a remote valley near Ucluelet, B.C., with orders to release Bimbo from the thin tether the deer is attached to when outside, said Schwartz. Schwartz was told she wasn’t allowed to touch Bimbo any more. It seems somebody had complained, said Environment Minister Terry Lake earlier in the week, noting it’s

illegal to keep wild animals as pets. During those tense days, sleepless nights were made even more restless by nightmares, said Schwartz. By Friday the government had changed its mind. Schwartz could keep her pet with the help of a veterinarian and conservation officers. “It makes me feel good,” said Schwartz of the announcement. “She is my life, OK, and I’ve had her since the day she’s been born.” The relationship began when a friend found the orphaned fawn along a nearby logging road, more than a kilometre away from her current home, said Schwartz. The friend brought the fawn over because she knew Schwartz had raised a buck before. Schwartz named the fawn Bimbo, based on a Gene Autry song that was playing inside her home at the time, and began feeding the animal goat’s milk and Pablum. “She is my family, as though I bore her,” said Schwartz. “It’s like I had her myself. That’s how I feel.” Days turned into months and years, and now Bimbo’s a part of

the family. At night, Bimbo sleeps on a blanket on the side of Schwartz’ bed, and once in a while, she kicks Schwartz off her bed, forcing the senior onto a nearby couch. Bimbo spends the day outside where she is tethered to the home, joined by three dogs and a goat that roam a property dotted by broken-down vehicles and metres-tall piles of cedar planks and other refuse. Sometimes, supported by two canes or even a walker, Schwartz strolls the rocky property, smoking her favourite cigarettes, Number 7s, while searching for fresh foliage to feed Bimbo. Recently, a friend brought over a buck, said Schwartz, and now Bimbo is pregnant. When Bimbo gives birth, Schwartz said she’ll keep the animal tethered, and keep the babies until they are old enough to do what they want to do. “Sometimes it’s a pain in the head, but I enjoy it,” said Miller when asked how he feels about sharing his life with Bimbo. Jane Hunt, a veterinarian who also lives on a rural property not far away, said she first met Bimbo when the doe was just three weeks old. She believes Bimbo is better off with Schwartz. “It has no previous experience with being a wild deer. It wouldn’t last in the bush. The wolves would have it in no time.”

National Opposition calls for curb on credit card costs THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The federal Opposition on Monday called on the Harper government to stop credit card companies from charging businesses higher fees for using premium cards. The call came as a federal competition tribunal prepared to rule on whether Visa and MasterCard are engaging in anti-competitive behaviour. Small business groups hope the tribunal will recommend that Ottawa forbid the major credit card companies from forcing retailers to accept cards that carry higher payment processing fees. The high cost of processing credit card payments is hurting businesses, said Glenn Thibeault, the NDP consumer protection critic. “Ultimately this results in reduced profit margins for merchants and higher retail costs for consumers,” he said in a statement. Canadian compan-
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ryan Remiorz
The federal Opposition is calling on the Harper government to prevent credit card companies from charging businesses higher fees for using premium cards. ies already pay the highest credit card processing fees in the industrialized world, although Canadians enjoy some of the lowest debit fees among G20 nations. In 2010, the Harper government introduced a voluntary code aimed at protecting small business from abusive practices by credit card companies. The code is designed to protect small businesses, said Kathleen Perchaluk, Finance
Minister Jim Flaherty’s press secretary. “Credit and debit card providers must give small businesses and merchants clear information regarding fees and rates and the ability to cancel contracts without penalty should fees rise or new fees be introduced,” she said, while noting that the NDP voted against the code. But voluntary codes don’t work and mandatory measures are needed, said Thibeault.
Saskatchewan
Province expands Taser use THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA - Saskatchewan is expanding the use of stun guns, allowing every municipal police officer across the province to carry them. The Saskatchewan Police Commission said Monday it knows Tasers are potentially dangerous, but they are also effective in the right circumstances. “The approval and the policy for use includes strict controls, training standards and accountability requirements, including a post-use review each time a Taser
is deployed,” said commission chairman Paul Korpan. “The commission’s decision only authorizes the use of Tasers in situations where there is imminent and high risk of bodily harm to officers or the public and where other use of force options would be ineffective or inappropriate.” Previously only tactical team members could carry the weapons in Saskatchewan. RCMP officers have been allowed to carry them as they are not governed by the Saskatchewan Police Commission.

“While governments around the world have regulated the costs of credit card swipe fees, the Conservatives’ selfregulatory approach has failed Canadian merchants,” said Thibeault. “Enough is enough; the Conservatives need to act now.” Thibeault is starting a cross-country consultation with business and community groups this week to hear their concerns about the fees. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business says shopkeepers and others who accept credit and debit cards as payment should be given the right to refuse high-cost cards or to add limited surcharges. The federation, with more than 100,000 members, also argues that Canada’s code of conduct needs provisions for mobile payment methods, such as
by cellphone. The tribunal ruling was expected earlier this month but has not yet been made public. A spokesman for the tribunal said it’s not known when that decision will be released. A ruling forbidding credit card companies from forcing businesses to accept all types of cards would benefit merchants by allowing them the freedom to either accept or deny certain credit cards at their registers. But it could also mean confusion for consumers or translate into surcharges at the retail level, especially for Canadians who prefer to pay with credit cards that give them travel and other incentive points. The banks maintain that merchants get value for the fees they pay for accepting credit cards, including a fast, efficient and guaranteed method of payment, reduced lineups at the checkout, savings on costs related to dealing with cash and reduced fraud. “Merchants no longer have to decide if individual customers are credit-worthy and no longer have to worry about whether a customer’s cheque will bounce,” says the Canadian Bankers Association. Visa and MasterCard hold about 92 per cent of the credit card market in Canada. It’s estimated that the fees they charge businesses to use their cards add up to about $5 billion annually.
Chiefs renew calls for meeting
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Top First Nations chiefs from across the country have set aside their differences for now and signed on to a request for yet another meeting with the prime minister - all in an attempt to bring the protest by Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence to an end. The Assembly of First Nations’ executive agreed to the request in writing and sent a letter to Stephen Harper on the weekend, calling for a meeting as soon as Thursday - a day by which Shawn Atleo could well be back on the job. Atleo took a sudden sick leave after his controversial meeting with Harper 10 days ago amidst a leadership crisis within the AFN. He issued a statement Monday saying he would be back in the saddle “later this week.” Unlike the divisive Jan. 11 meeting, this week’s proposed meeting with Harper would include a broad range of chiefs as well as Gov.Gen. David Johnston, as requested by Spence. “The intent behind it is to try to end Chief Spence’s hunger strike,” said Morley Googoo, regional chief for Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. And unlike the previous meeting, Spence’s spokesman says the Cree leader is onside. “We all need to work together,” said Danny Metatawabin, adding that Spence was feeling “well, chirpy, happy” on Monday morning despite having spent the last six weeks subsisting only on fish broth and medicinal tea. There’s nothing to suggest Harper is inclined to agree to the request, despite the newfound unity among chiefs. Andrew MacDougall, a spokesman for the prime minister, said Harper would respond to the AFN’s letter “in due course.” The Governor General was not included in the previous meeting because it is the government that makes policy decisions in Canada, not the Queen’s representative, he added. “And that’s how we’re still looking at the matter.”

Last stand for smart meter opponents
T
he news was trumpeted with alarm here on Vancouver Island, which along with the Gulf Islands is the heartland of tinfoil-hat opposition to smart meters. Of the 140,000 power customers who didn’t have a wireless meter by the end of the year, many have simply refused. Now BC Hydro has sent letters informing them “we can no longer delay the installation of a new meter at your home.” “StopSmartMetersBC” sent out a panicky e-mail advising its resistance movement to brace against “storm trooper tactics” from BC Hydro staff, and urging phone and fax attacks on their local MLA office. “Anger and outrage should be expressed, in a quiet way, so that we don’t sound hysterical, but people are being threatened, police called, etc.,” the anonymous e-mail helpfully suggests. BC Hydro has also confirmed what I told you
a few months ago. Those bogus locks, chicken wire cages and important-looking signs, which were sold like modern-day snake oil, have no legal effect to prevent the utility from working on its own equipment. These obstacles to inspection have been and continue to be removed, along with dangerous grow-op bypasses and fiddled mechanical meters. The technical arguments against wireless meters have been demolished. False news reports and website claims still circulate, but no fires have been attributed to the installation of 1.7 million wireless meters in B.C. About 1,200 faulty meter bases have also been replaced at BC Hydro’s expense, and as crude power-theft bypasses have been removed, the incidence of electrical fires, already rare, has dropped substantially. Another popular myth is increased electricity bills. Yes, if your bypass

is removed, your bill will go up. Like gas pumps, power meters are required by federal law to be accurate. Which brings us back to Team Tinfoil, which has been sold a cascading series of fantastic tales about the effect of wireless signals that are already ever-present in all modern communities. A Toronto-based expert group called Bad Science Watch has tackled claims of “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” headon. I highly recommend their 10-page report and qualifications at www.bad-
sciencewatch.ca. In plain language, with references to the best available scientific studies, it describes the double-blind tests that prove people who claim this sensitivity are not actually able to detect when they are or are not being exposed to wireless signals. No X-Men candidates have come forward. It also exposes key “activists” in Canada. The most prominent is Dr. Magda Havas, an associate professor at Trent University who has “developed a career denouncing the safety of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation.” She gives speeches, promotes her book and has worked with one David Stetzer to promote an “EMF filter” to sell to those who insist they feel what science shows they don’t. Havas has appeared on TV “news” shows with “activist-entrepreneur” Kevin Byrne. His website appears to be a hub of cell
tower and smart meter scare reports, but it’s interspersed with product pitches for EMF Solutions Canada, of which Byrne is coincidentally president. Then there’s “entrepreneur-activist” Rob Metzinger, president of something called Safe Living Technologies Inc. He doesn’t run a lurid scare website, but he’s appeared on CBC and CTV as some sort of authority. (The main hazard emanating from TVs these days is bad information.) As the election approaches, a fight is gearing up between the NDP and the B.C. Green Party for the ignorant, superstitious and angry vote. The Greens in particular have damaged their credibility in a desperate bid to quiet their own tinfoil-chapeau wing. There are bozo eruptions ahead. I’ll have more on that in a future column.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Alicia Keys is adding her voice to the Super Bowl show for the third time. The Grammy-winning R&B singer will perform the national anthem before the NFL championship game on Feb. 3 in New Orleans. The league said Friday that Keys’ three performances at the Super Bowl will be the most in the event’s history. She sang “America the Beautiful” before the 2005 game, and was part of the pregame show in 2008. Keys turns 32 this week.

Couric to interview controversial football player
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o will be interviewed by Katie Couric, the first on-camera interview given by the All-American since news broke about the dead girlfriend hoax. Te’o and his parents will appear on Couric’s syndicated talk show Thursday. ABC News announced the interview Sunday, but gave no details as to when it will take place and where. The Heisman Trophy runner-up said he had an online romance with a woman he never met and in September was informed that the woman died from leukemia.

Consumers trust newspaper advertising more than twice as much as other mediums. Call today to start your advertising campaign. 250.368.8551
MLA addresses area’s school issues I have read, watched and listened with interest the continuing discussions about education in this area. I have seen passionate and articulate citizens working together to find solutions and generating new ideas to support education in their communities. School board trustees have worked tirelessly under very difficult circumstances to try and find options and funding. School District staff have expressed their concern and shown their dedication to their students. Even with all of this hard work the School District is still left with a large deficit, communities are worried about losing their schools and parents wonder what kind of education their child will receive. I have been asked what my views are on the education crisis in this area. Firstly I will say that I have the greatest respect for the elected school trustees who represent their constituents. It is they who have been given the very difficult task of running an education system in a rural area with limited funds.
I support them in their work and I am always willing to discuss any role I can take with the provincial government on their behalf. I understand that they are in a financial predicament. They are looking at a 1.75 million dollar shortfall and limited options on how to deal with it. I applaud the trustees in having two community meetings to talk to parents and students about how they think the problems can be addressed. With over 500 people in Rossland attending their community meeting and almost 200 people in Castlegar there is no doubt that people are passionate and determined to fight for their schools. Whatever decisions the school trustees make in the next few weeks I think that it has been shown that all sides are committed to try and find solutions. As the provincial representative for this area I have been a part of an opposition caucus that has been discussing rural school funding issues for many years. My colleague, Robin Austin, is our critic for Education with-
in the NDP Caucus and he has been discussing the very problems we are seeing in Kootenay West and holding the various education ministers responsible. I have explained to him our concerns in this constituency as well. He and I will be continuing to fight for rural schools once the legislature returns in February. The provincial government funding that school districts receive, and in particular, rural school districts, is simply not enough. Since 2001 when funding formulas changed in BC, rural school districts have had difficulties balancing their budget while also attending to community needs. Distances between communities, mountainous terrain, weather, bussing, declining enrollments have all made providing education in areas like the West Kootenay a challenge. I am committed to work with the School Board trustees and to work with my colleague, the Education critic, to fight for changes within the Legislature. Katrine Conroy, MLA Kootenay West
Supreme Court tempers justice with mercy An editorial from the Toronto Star Nicole Ryan is a Nova Scotia woman who was abused, terrorized and threatened with death by Michael Ryan, her violent gun-owning husband. When she begged for protection from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and others, she got none. Fearing for her life and that of her daughter, she tried to hire a hit man to kill her husband, was caught in a police “sting,” and was charged. Controversially, she was acquitted when the provincial courts accepted her argument that she had acted under great duress. Wrong, the Supreme Court of Canada decreed on Friday as it settled this long-running case by overturning her acquittal on the grounds that the lower courts misapplied the law. Battered women who fight their aggressors are entitled to claim self-defence, the Supreme Court found. However, they cannot claim that they were acting under “duress,” at least as it is defined in law. In the court’s view, that’s a stretch. Yet despite this finding, the court also ruled that Nicole
Ryan shouldn’t have to face a new trial or the prospect of prison because she has suffered so much and her case has been so badly handled. That wisely tempers justice with mercy. While this ruling won’t be welcomed by those who want to expand the “battered woman” defence in Canadian law, it serves welcome notice that not “anything goes” in the eyes of the courts, and that legal distinctions matter. It clarifies a murky law. And it brings commonsense closure to a highly emotional case. The Nova Scotia courts accepted her claim that she acted under “duress” in trying to hire a hit man, and acquitted her. (She didn’t argue selfdefence at her trial.) However, the Supreme Court, while acknowledging that “the law of duress was unclear,” found it didn’t apply here. Unanimously, the nine justices ruled that the defence of duress is a narrow one, available only to a person who commits a crime because someone is threatening to hurt them if they don’t commit it. While Nicole Ryan was unquestionably threatened with violence, it wasn’t to force her to
commit any crime. So her only proper defence was self-defence, not duress. Thus, the lower courts erred. That said, the Supreme Court also ruled that she shouldn’t be put through the wringer any longer. It declared her case so exceptional that it would be “unfair” to retry her. Prosecutors changed their stance between the trial and the appeal on whether “duress” was an acceptable defence. That alone could put Ryan at a disadvantage in a new trial. Moreover, the abuse she suffered at her husband’s hands “took an enormous toll,” as did five years of trial and appeal. And in a much-deserved slap at the RCMP the justices cited “the disquieting fact that . . . it seems that the authorities were much quicker to intervene to protect Mr. Ryan than they had been to respond to her request for help in dealing with his reign of terror over her.” That is a chilling thought. Nicole Ryan was a terrorized mother who begged the Mounties for help, to no avail. She was desperate enough to try to hire a contract killer. That got the police moving. It should never have come to that.

RICHARD GARNEAU
PRINCE HARRY
Journalist was also voice of the Habs Tour of duty over
THE CANADIAN PRESS MONTREAL - Richard Garneau, a veteran Quebec sports journalist and voice of the Montreal Canadiens, has died at age 82. Garneau was best known for his broadcast coverage of NHL hockey and the Olympics, mostly for Radio-Canada, during a lengthy, award-winning career. He died early Sunday at Montreal’s Royal Victoria hospital following complications from heart surgery. Born in Quebec City in 1930, Garneau began his lifelong passion for the Olympics after getting a job with RadioCanada in 1957. He covered the 1960
Summer Games in Rome and worked at 23 Olympics in all. Known for his mastery of the French language and encyclopedic knowledge of sports, he was the winner of five Gemini Awards, including one for lifetime achievement. He also wrote five books. During the 2012 London Games, he worked on RDS, the French language sports station, alongside broadcaster Pierre Houde and was as energetic as ever. “He could make you break out in laughter without ever losing his eloquence, the quality of his French, and his diction,” Houde said Sunday. “We’re remembering him today and our emotions are
going in every direction - we’re crying and smiling at the same time.” The Montreal Canadiens issued a statement mourning his death, calling him a “legendary voice” of the Habs on La Soiree du hockey, the French equivalent of Hockey Night in Canada. “It is with deep sadness that we have learned of the passing of Richard Garneau,” the statement said. “The entire Canadiens organization wishes to extend its deepest sympathies to the Garneau family.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper also weighed in, saying in French on Twitter that the sports world had lost one of its greats.
MICHAEL WINNER
Director known for his action movies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - “Death Wish” director Michael Winner, a British filmmaker, restaurant critic and bon vivant, has died at the age of 77. Winner’s wife Geraldine said he died Monday at his London home after an illness.
Winner’s 30 movies included three “Death Wish” films starring the late Charles Bronson. Born in London in 1935, Winner worked with Hollywood icons including Marlon Brando, Burt Lancaster, Robert Mitchum and Faye Dunaway - although many of his films
sit at the schlockier end of the spectrum. One of his earliest films was the 1962 nudist feature “Some Like It Cool”; later he specialized in thrillers and action movies, including “The Mechanic,” ”Scorpio“ and the violent vigilante ”Death Wish“ series.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON - Capt. Wales is coming home to be Prince Harry once again. The Ministry of Defence revealed Monday that the 28-year-old prince is returning from a five-month deployment in Afghanistan, where he served as an Apache helicopter pilot with the Army Air Corps. It did not immediately divulge his exact whereabouts. In interviews conducted in Afghanistan, the third in line to the British throne described feeling boredom, frustration and satisfaction during a tour that saw him fire at Taliban fighters on missions in support of ground troops. When asked whether he had killed from the cockpit, he said: “Yea, so lots of people have.” He also spoke of his struggle to balance his job as an army officer with his royal role - and his relief at the chance to be “one of the guys.” “My father’s always trying to remind me about who I am and stuff like that,” said Harry, the younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. “But
it’s very easy to forget about who I am when I am in the army. Everyone’s wearing the same uniform and doing the same kind of thing.” Stationed at Camp Bastion, a sprawling British base in the southern Afghan desert, the prince - known as Capt. Wales in the military - flew scores of missions as a co-pilot gunner, sometimes firing rockets and missiles at Taliban fighters. “Take a life to save a life. That’s what we revolve around, I suppose. If there’s people trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we’ll take them out of the game.” Harry’s second tour in Afghanistan went more smoothly than the first, in 2007-2008, which was cut short after 10 weeks when a magazine and websites disclosed details of his whereabouts. A member of the air corps’ 662 Squadron, the prince was part of a two-man crew whose duties ranged from supporting ground troops in firefights with the Taliban to accompanying British Chinook and U.S. Black Hawk helicopters as they evacuated wounded soldiers.

MINOR HOCKEY WEEK IN TRAIL

Trail product commits Martin to join top ranked team in NCAA BY GRAEME CORBETT Black Press

Backs win back-to-back over Trail BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports Editor
Over 1,000 fans and minor hockey players celebrated Minor Hockey Week by cheering on the Trail Smoke Eaters Saturday. Unfortunately, Salmon Arm did its best to dampen their enthusiasm. Following a 3-1 loss to the SilverBacks Friday in Salmon Arm, the Smokies dropped their second game of the homeand-home in a devastating 4-3 overtime loss at the Cominco Arena on Saturday. Ceding four points to the Backs while picking up just a single point is indeed a setback says Smokies coach Bill Birks, but the team is not ready to throw in the towel just yet. “I was disappointed on the outcomes of both game, but you know even Friday in Salmon Arm it was a good hockey game both ways,” said Birks. “They scored, we didn’t – it wasn’t like we didn’t show up or didn’t play well, we just couldn’t score goals when we needed to.” The Backs have four games in hand on the Smokies as they battle for the
final playoff spot in the Interior division, while West Kelowna has risen into a tie with Merrit for second/third spot thanks to only one loss in January, a 4-3 OT loss to Vernon. But with 14 games still to play, Birks is confident a playoff berth is attainable. “100 percent – you have to have a never quit attitude. It’s an uphill battle but ‘is it doable?’ - for sure,” said Birks. In Saturday’s match, Alex Gillies finished a 2-on-1 with Shane Hanna at 2:24 of the first overtime period, taking a cross-ice pass and lifting it over the shoulder of Smokies goalie Adam Todd, to complete the victory. The Smoke Eaters’ Adam Wheeldon put the Smokies up 1-0 five minutes into the first period, but the Gorillas tied it in the second on a redirection off the stick of Ryan Schwalb, then took a 2-1 lead at 17:59, when a Schalbe shot was kicked out by Todd but Jordan Levesque banged in the rebound. The Smokies came out strong in the third period, and evened the score when Garrett McMullen wristed one
that deflected past rookie goalie Angus Redmond at 5:12 into the third. Trail’s Scott Davidson put the Smokies up 3-2 burying a pass from Brent Baltus at 10:40, but Salmon Arm’s Alex Gillies would tie it with less than four minutes to go in regulation when a shot caromed off the back boards right to Gillies at the side of the open net. Todd played well for the Smoke Eaters especially in the final minutes when he made a couple of great glove saves to keep the Smokies in it. But the SilverBacks would not be denied as they moved three points ahead of Trail in the Interior division standings. Trail next hits the road for a three game stint against Nanaimo Friday, Alberni Saturday, and Langley Sunday, and have just six games scheduled in the month of February, five of which are at home. “Every guy playing right now is all bruised up , it’s that time of year and some time off is definitely going to help these guys.”
Craig Martin has spent most of the season in a cast, but that hasn’t stopped college scouts from seeking his offensive skillset. The Trail native is keeping the Kootenay connection alive with the Quinnipiac Bobcats, signing with the NCAA Division 1 club for the 2014-15 season. The Bobcats are having a banner season, led by assistant captains and former Beaver Valley Nitehawks Connor and Kellen Jones, and fellow Trail product and former Smoke Eater Travis St. Denis. The team is ranked number one in the nation for only the second time in its history, has gone unbeaten in 16 straight CRAIG MARTIN games and is 10-2-1 against other NCAA top-ranked teams. Trail Smoke Eater Scott Davidson also committed to Quinnipiac earlier this season. “I’m pretty excited,” said Martin, who also had flydowns to Cornell and Michigan Tech. “The campus is very nice and all the guys are great. It had the right feeling. “They (Joneses and St. Denis) had nothing but great things to say about it and I trust them a lot.” Martin has missed the Vipers’ last 16 games after suffering a broken ankle when he took a Ryan Renz point shot off the foot in a Nov. 17 game against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. The good news for the Snakes is he is skating again and is expected back in the lineup within a couple weeks. “He was just starting to come into his own when he got hurt,” said Vipers’ head coach Jason Williamson. “He scored some pretty amazing goals.” Added Martin: “It’s been way too long. Now I can get back to conditioning.” Martin drew a lot of scouting attention after he averaged nearly two points per game (48-4896 in 50 games) as a 16-year-old in the KIJHL with Beaver Valley Nitehawks. He has five goals and six assists in 22 games with Vernon. “It was a bit of a rough start but things were coming along,” said Martin. “It was just a terrible time for the injury as I was just starting to heat up a bit.” Williamson is confident the talented forward will continue his Junior B success in the BCHL. “His best hockey is yet to come,” said Williamson. “He’s a guy we’re going to lean on as soon as he’s healthy down the stretch and into next season.” NCAA notes: Quinnipiac goalie Eric Hartzell was nominated for the Hobey Baker Award Monday; the honour presented to the top NCAA player in the nation. The Minnesota native is currently 16-22 with a .934 save percentage and a 1.48 goals against average. His .850 winning percentage ranks first among all goalies, while his 1.48 GAA ranks third overall, and first among goalies with over 1,000 minutes in net. His four shutouts this season are the second most in Division I hockey while his 10 career shutouts rank first in Quinnipiac history.

Sports Superbowl xlvi
coppa italia
NFL’s premier event filled with firsts
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS This Super Bowl will be filled with firsts - and one significant last. The Harbaughs, San Francisco’s Jim and Baltimore’s John, will be the first pair of brothers to coach against each other in the NFL title game. Quarterbacks Colin Kaepernick of the 49ers and Joe Flacco of the Ravens each will be playing in his first Super Bowl - where success is the ultimate measure of elite QBs. It’ll be Baltimore’s first crack at a championship in a dozen years, San Francisco’s first in 18. They are a combined 6-0 in Super Bowls (the 49ers own five of those victories), so one club will lose the big game for the first time. And middle linebacker Ray Lewis, Baltimore’s emotional leader and top tackler, will be playing in the final game of his 17-year career before heading into retirement. “This is our time,” Lewis pronounced. For all of those story lines, none is expected to command as much attention as Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh. The game in New Orleans on Feb. 3 was quickly given all manner of nicknames: The Brother Bowl. The Harbaugh Bowl. The Har-Bowl. The Super-Baugh. The Harbaughs’ sister, Joani Crean, wrote in a
text to The Associated Press: “Overwhelmed with pride for John, Jim and their families! They deserve all that has come their way! Team Harbaugh!” As John prepared to coach the Ravens in the AFC championship game Sunday night, he watched on the stadium’s big video screen as Jim’s 49ers wrapped up the NFC championship. John looked into a nearby TV camera, smiled broadly and said: “Hey, Jim, congratulations. You did it. You’re a great coach. Love you.” Less than four hours later, the Ravens won, too. Some siblings try to beat each other in backyard games. These guys will do it in the biggest game of all. Who’s a parent to cheer for? During the 2011 regular season, the Harbaughs became the only brothers to coach against each other in any NFL game (the Ravens beat the 49ers 16-6 on Thanksgiving Day that year). The NFC West champion 49ers (13-4-1) opened as 5-point favourites, seeking a record-tying sixth Super Bowl title to add to those won by Hall of Fame quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young. Lewis was the MVP when the AFC North champion Ravens (13-6) beat the New York Giants in 2001.
With Kaepernick’s terrific passing - he was 16 of 21 for 233 yards and a touchdown in only his ninth career NFL start - and two TD runs by Frank Gore, San Francisco erased a 17-point deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 Sunday. Baltimore then fashioned a comeback of its own, scoring the last 21 points to defeat the New England Patriots 28-13, thanks in large part to Flacco’s three second-half touchdown tosses, two to Anquan Boldin. Lewis and the rest of Baltimore’s defence limited the high-scoring Patriots to one touchdown. In the often risk-averse NFL, each Harbaugh made a critical change late in the regular season in a bid to boost his team’s post-season chances. Clearly, both moves worked. After 49ers quarterback Alex Smith, the starter in last season’s overtime NFC title game loss to the Giants, got a concussion, Jim switched to Kaepernick for Week 11 - and never switched back. Now San Francisco has its first threegame winning streak of the season, at precisely the right time. Baltimore, meanwhile, was in the midst of a threegame losing streak when John fired offensive co-ordinator Cam Cameron and promoted quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell to replace him.

after the match that he was battling a foot injury and wasn’t given the green light to play until just moments before he stepped on the court. He said there was concern he may have a stress fracture, which was weighing on him mentally. “I was able to actually clear it out of
my mind pretty well before the match and just sort of go along with everything and just play as well as I could,” he said. Raonic, who had 19 aces and 41 unforced errors in less than two hours, said he was having issues walking. The eventual diagnosis was inflammation in the joints.

Upon further review, skiers improve results By Times Contributor
Some results in Jan. 16 Trail Times were misinterpreted from the Zone 4 website. The following represents an even better and more accurate account of the Black Jack nordic ski racers’ results. Many skiers from the BlackJack Ski Club attended the Teck BC Cup races in Kelowna last week. Every team member skied hard and our racers forced many close results. The Saturday race was a Classic technique, sprint race
with distances varying according to age. Black Jack’s Julien Locke seized first in the 1.2-km Junior Men’s group while Hannah Schleppe finished second in the 250-metre Bantam Girls category. In Midget Boys Remi Drolet claimed second overall and first in his age group for the 400-m. Daniel Merlo skied to third place in the 600-m Juvenile Boys, and Nicole Perrin was second in the 1.2 km Junior Women’s group and The Sunday race

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARK CITY, Utah - The Eagles picked the producer of their new Showtime documentary “The History of the Eagles” - but they insist that’s about all the control they had in the making of it. “It’s really not a film that represents our point of view so much,” Glenn Frey said Saturday as the quartet spoke at the Sundance Film Festival hours before the film’s premiere. The film was directed by Alison Ellwood and produced by Alex Gibney, whose other documentaries include the Academy Award-winning “Taxi to the Dark Side” and “Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.” “The History of the Eagles” will be shown in two parts on Showtime Feb. 15-16. It includes 40-year-old footage that was in the band’s archives. Don Henley said he was interested in someone making a documentary about the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers but was unimpressed with recent music documentaries. So, he asked to see the work of Oscar-winning documentary filmmakers and was led to Gibney. From there, he worked to convince Gibney that he should tell the band’s story, and they had “zero” influence on its outcome. “We have a good story to tell and I think he’s a great storyteller,” Frey said, adding that Gibney told him, “We’re going to make a movie, and we’re going to tell the truth.” Frey said what surprised him most about the film, and seeing the old footage, was “how much fun we had.” That may surprise people who are familiar with the band’s well-documented discord, including their acrimonious breakup in 1982 (they got back together in 1994). “Most of the things that have been written about this band have focused on conflict - the journalism of conflict,” Henley said. “It sells papers and magazines, but one thing that Glen said that people will see in this documentary is that we had a lot of fun.” “The bitter fighting that the media loved to talk about really didn’t take place. We argued a lot, we discussed stuff a lot, and that tension had a lot of to do with the creative process,” Walsh said. “We didn’t hate each other; we didn’t have fist fights, none of that.”

Chastain rules MONday & Movies the big screen MONDAY EVENING
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Jessica Chastain easily outmuscled Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mark Wahlberg over the weekend, topping the box office with both her supernatural horror film “Mama” and the Oscar-nominated Osama bin Laden hunt thriller “Zero Dark Thirty.” “Mama” opened well above expectations with a box-office topping $28.1 million for Universal Pictures, according to studio estimates Sunday. Chastain also held the second spot with “Zero Dark Thirty,” for which she’s nominated by the Academy Awards for best actress. In its second week of wide release, “Zero Dark Thirty” took in $17.6 million. The films’ strong performances made an unlikely box-office queen out of a chameleonlike actress that even fans of “Mama” might have trouble recognizing. Chastain, whose credits range from Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life” to “The Help” (for which she was also Oscarnominated), even accomplished the rare feat by besting a couple more traditional box-office stars. Schwarzenegger’s action flick “The Last Stand” opened with just $6.3 million for Lionsgate, one of the worst debuts for the brawny 65-year-old star. The film came in 10th. “The Last Stand” is his first proper starring vehicle since exiting the California governor’s seat in January 2011. The Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe-led New York crime film “Broken City” didn’t fare much better. The Fox release premiered with $9.1 million. The Oscar-nominated “Django Unchained,” meanwhile, became the director’s biggest boxoffice hit in its fourth week. The Weinstein Co. release surpassed his previous film, “Inglourious Basterds,” by adding $8.2 million for a domestic total of $138.4 million. But it did exceptional business internationally, taking in $48.1 million and proving that Tarantino’s Western set in the antebellum South had tremendous appeal worldwide. But domestically, audiences flocked to the PG-13-rated “Mama,” which bore the imprimatur of the well-respected fantasy-spinner Guillermo Del Toro, a producer. “Never underestimate the drawing power of a PG-13 horror film,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst.

Children’s friends should be treated as guests Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
the kids are sneaking around and getting into bed together when you are asleep. But that is ungenerous of him. These friends are guests in your home and should be treated as such. And your husband might keep in mind that should these friends turn out to be his future sonsin-law or daughtersin-law, reacting poorly to them now could set him up for future difficulties. Dear Annie: May I vent a little about the extended family of a caregiver? My relatives live out of state and rarely visit. This is for them: Please don’t tell the primary caregiver what
you are more than welcome. Otherwise, please respect the primary caregiver’s role and responsibilities, and keep your interference with the medical providers to a minimum. You have no idea what it is like to have a family plus elderly parents to care for, with all the activities, medical appointments, medications and therapies to coordinate and facilitate. You purposely choose to live states away. Please don’t fly in and out telling me what to do. Serving as a primary caregiver is an honor and a privilege. It carries with it a tremendous responsibility, as well as accountability and self-sacrifice. I do it out of love, and I want what is best for them. -- Walk a Mile in My Shoes Dear Walk: We have heard this plea many times and know you speak for thousands of devoted caregivers. But we also know that many relatives who live away
need to feel as if they are contributing and often react by making demands and trying to take over. Sometimes, all they need is a task to perform that will make them feel they are needed in a concrete way. We hope that helps.
Dear Annie: Like “Heartbroken Mom in Connecticut,” I, too, left a controlling husband, and it created conflicts at family gatherings. Our solution was to have two birthday parties. My ex could attend one with whomever he wished, and I
attended the other. The grandchildren loved the idea of having two birthday parties. Over time, some of the conflicts lessened, but they never completely stopped. Sometimes they just can’t let go. -Don’t Stress, Celebrate Twice

to do and how to do it. You don’t have all the details, and you do not control every situation. Good caregivers are proactive and vigilant. You are loved, and your opinion matters. But unless you are a medical expert in these areas, please listen rather than resort to preconceived ideas. When you do visit, don’t say, “I guess you get the day off.” There is never a day off, especially if the loved one is in the hospital or rehab and preparations need to be made for what happens after they are discharged. And while you may think it’s “too early” to discuss assisted living or nursing home care, some of those places have waiting lists. It’s never too early. You may want to have a light, enjoyable visit, but some things still need to be handled, even unpleasant things. Life doesn’t get put on hold simply because you’re in town. If you want to take over the full-time care,

Dear Annie: My 20-something children attend school in other cities. On occasion, they have asked to bring their current boyfriend or girlfriend home for a visit to meet the family. The friend then stays in a separate room for a night or two. The problem is my husband. He gets extremely upset about these visits and accuses me of encouraging immoral behavior. He says that allowing these friends to stay at our house gives tacit approval for them to spend the night away from home. I say it is normal hospitality to open our home to our kids’ friends. Is he being irrational, or am I missing something? -- Conflicted Mother Dear Conflicted: There is absolutely nothing wrong with a child spending the night away from home, and certainly not a 20-something adult. Your husband apparently is convinced that

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a creative day for writers and artists, because it’s easy to think outside the box. However, just record your ideas, or toy with them. Don’t act on them. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is an easygoing, pleasure-loving day; nevertheless, it’s a poor day to spend money. Other than buying food, postpone important purchases until tomorrow. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Moon is in your sign today, which makes you more emotional. Enjoy your day, but defer important decisions until tomorrow, because your mind is spaced out. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a goofy day, but it’s also a creative day. It’s easy to connect the dots in an imaginative way. Just test ideas; don’t act on anything.
Tuesday, January 22, 2013 Trail Times
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Discussions with others will be fun and upbeat today. People are in a relaxed frame of mind and ready to divulge information. Just take it easy. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You will briefly be high-viz today. In fact, others might learn personal details about your private life. Just play it low-key, and don’t make a big deal about anything. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Try to do something different today, because you have a strong desire for escape and a need for adventure. Nevertheless, don’t make big decisions. (Look for tiny adventures.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to make important decisions about shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt or anything you own jointly with others. You can research these matters, but that’s all.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions with partners and close friends will be lighthearted and friendly today. Enjoy kicking around a few ideas, but don’t agree to anything important. (Wait until tomorrow.) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It might be hard to concentrate at work today, because you would rather socialize. However, if you need to under-
take any creative endeavors, you’ll be excellent. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a wonderful, romantic day. It’s also a fabulous day for the arts or doing any kind of creative work. Enjoy social diversions and playful activities with children. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a lovely day to entertain at home. Invite the gang over for good food and drink.
Keep things light, and avoid major purchases. YOU BORN TODAY You have distinctive qualities that set you apart from others. (It could be your voice or the way you move that makes you memorable.) Aside from that, you exude an image of moral strength. You also are eccentric. You’re aware, at all times, of the persona that you project. In the year ahead, an important decision will arise. Choose wisely.
