Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Auxiliary president Allana Ferro puts together a blue and a pink basket, for either a boy or a girl newborn baby. Every year the auxiliary gives a basket to the mother of the first baby born at KBRH in the new year.
Gifts await first baby of 2015
TIMES STAFF Allana Ferro and the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH) Auxiliary are already planning a gift for the first baby born in 2015. The group doesn’t know if the baby will be a boy or a girl or who will be the lucky mom, but the auxiliary starts thinking about the annual gift basket well before they have any idea who will be receiving it. “We do this every year, so it is always on our schedule,” said Ferro. “But, we start getting serious about it mid-December.” The auxiliary has been working with the local hospital since 1946, and has been doing the gift baskets
every year since. Ferro says it is part of the organization mandate to help patients in KBRH and this annual project perfectly exemplifies that idea. “We are about patient care and comfort and giving assistance in the hospital,” she said, adding that a lot of the time, hospitals can be sad places. “It is great to be able to share (in the happier moments). We had a new father come in (to the gift shop) who had his baby (on Sunday) and he was so excited to pick up all of the little stuffed animals and things.” The auxiliary hopes to provide that same excitement to the family of the first baby of 2015.

Provincial/National REvelstoke
Highway crash claims two By Alex Cooper
Revelstoke Times Review
Two people died following a collision on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Revelstoke Saturday afternoon. The crash happened on Dec. 27 at 1 p.m. when a westbound tractor-trailer collided with an eastbound passenger vehicle. Both occupants of the vehicle died in the crash. The crash closed the highway between Revelstoke and Craigellachie for more than eight Briefs hours while RCMP, BC Coroners Service, BC Ambulance and Revelstoke Fire Rescue attended the scene. The highway re-opened at around 9:30 p.m. Westbound traffic was held up in Revelstoke and many stranded travelers scrambled to try to find a room for the night as the closure lengthened. People posted on the the Stoke List and Twitter looking for places to stay for the night. Stranded travelers were being helped at the Visitor Information Centre on Victoria Road. Judy Goodman, the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, said they were taking a list of people stuck in town, with the goal of helping people find places to stay. Most hotels in town were already booked up, and many people took travelers into their homes. Environment Canada issued a special weather statement Saturday morning warning of heavy snowfall expected throughout the day and overnight, with snowfall amounts of up to 20 centimetres expected. A similar situation happened last year when avalanche closures caused many people to get trapped in Revelstoke during the busy holiday season.

Boy dies after hit by car By Vikki Hopes Abbotsford News
A 14-year-old pedestrian who was struck by a car on Friday night in Abbotsford has died from his injuries. The Independent Investigations Office (IIO), which is investigating the incident because the driver was an off-duty Abbotsford Police officer, confirmed Saturday that the youth passed away just before midnight. Friends and family have identified the boy as Marcus Larabie. The collision took place at about 6:15 p.m. in the intersection of Bourquin Crescent West and Mill Lake Road, near the Bourquin bus exchange. The boy was airlifted to hospital, and the driver of the 2009 Mazda 3 remained on the scene. The intersection was closed to traffic as police collision reconstructionists investigated. The IIO said investigators were deployed to multiple locations and spent the night identifying and interviewing potential witnesses, canvassing for video surveilance and seizing physical evidence from the scene. Kellie Kilpatrick of the IIO said the preliminary investigation indicates that alcohol was not a factor in the collision and that the driver was heading south on a green light. She said investigators are still working to determine where in the intersection the teen was at the time of the crash and to confirm reports that he was riding a skateboard or longboard. Kilpatrick said information related to the officer or the deceased teen will not be released or provided by the IIO.
CP news story of the year
Homegrown terror attack on Parliament Hill Killing of RCMP officers in Moncton, national debate over sexual harassment also among top stories for 2014
THE CANADIAN PRESS O T TAWA October 22 dawned as just another busy Wednesday morning on and around Parliament Hill. Tourists wandered in the fall sunshine past the towering granite and bronze War Memorial, where two unarmed sentries stood ceremonial guard at the tomb of the unknown solder. A few hundred metres north in parliament’s gothic Centre Block, the prime minister, his cabinet and hundreds of MPs gathered for their weekly national caucus meetings, in turn attracting the usual throng of news media and eager young staff members - all mingling in the marble-floored halls with passing tour groups and goodhumoured Hill security. In a matter of a few moments just after 10 a.m., a lone gunman brandishing an antiquated lever-action hunting rifle shattered the peace, order and good government of that bright autumn morning and riveted national and global attention on Canada’s capital. Coming just two days after another suicidal attack by a man with known jihad-
ist sympathies who ran down a Quebec soldier, the brazen Ottawa assault rattled the country. The attack on Parliament Hill and killing of soldiers Nathan Cirillo and Patrice Vincent ignited a debate on homegrown terrorism and are the overwhelming choice as Canada’s 2014 News Story of the Year in the annual survey of the country’s newsrooms by The Canadian Press. Almost 70 per cent of respondents - 59 of 85 newsrooms picked the events surrounding Oct. 22 as the year’s seminal news. “Home-grown terrorism exposed our vulnerability and shook a nation’s faith in its safety and security,” wrote Frank De Palma, newsroom director of The Chronicle Herald newspaper in Halifax. Kevin Usselman, news director at 660News CFFR in Calgary, said the story brought home “the realization that Canada is no longer immune to events taking place outside of our borders ... a coming of age kind of story.” Two other deeply troubling events tied for second in the annual newsroom
survey: The murder of three RCMP officers by a gunman in Moncton, N.B.; and the national debate over sexual harassment sparked by allegations against radio host Jian Ghomeshi and the suspension of two Liberal MPs by Justin Trudeau. Both those stories garnered 10 votes each. Julie Carl, the deputy editor of the Winnipeg Free Press, elected to choose the sexual harassment story for reasons also cited by several others. “I was torn between this and the shooting at Parliament and the Mounties’ deaths,” Carl wrote. “But the conversation about sexual harassment and why women don’t report seems to indicate a tipping point in that conversation. I believe we will be talking about it for a long, long time.” Others wrestled with the choice between two very different but disturbing acts of violence. “It really was a toss-up between the Ottawa terrorism and the Moncton RCMP shootings,” said Darryl Mills of the Prince Albert Daily Herald in Saskatchewan. “Both so massively un-Canadian and attacks on who we are.” The issue of
home-grown terrorist attacks appears destined to continue dominating news into 2015. Self-styled Canadian jihadists continue making public threats, while the motivations of Ottawa gunman Michael Zehaf Bibeau remain a matter of some debate. R C M P Commissioner Bob Paulson has described Zehaf Bibeau’s “distorted world view” and said he was “driven by ideological and political motives.” A video made by Zehaf Bibeau before the attack has yet to be made public and may never be, despite initial RCMP assurances it would be put in the public domain. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in a year-end interview with CBC, was adamant the attacks are not a result of his government’s decision to join air strikes against ISIL in Iran. “Look, let’s be very clear on this,” said Harper. “We’re not at risk from ISIL because we’re fighting them. We’re fighting them because we are at risk from them.
“This is an organization, along with the entire global jihadist movement they represent, that has repeatedly made threats on this country.” That cause-andeffect argument appears to be still a matter of live debate in the newsrooms of the country, judging by some comments to The Canadian Press survey. “The slayings of two Canadian soldiers and ‘Canada joins combat mission in Iraq’ are inextricably linked, in my opinion,” wrote Margo Goodhand, editor of the Edmonton Journal. “We cannot make a decision to go to war without accepting there may be consequences, both short and long-term.” Added Brad Works, the managing editor of the Journal Pioneer in Summerside, P.E.I.: “It’s fair to say that Micheal Zehaf Bibeau’s actions forced Canadians to reconsider our security at home and question our place and actions in world affairs. Few Canadians were not touched in some way by this story.”

AirCare program comes to an end THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER Wednesday will mark the end of the 22-yearold AirCare program in Metro Vancouver.

2015: the year of climate adaptation
I
t’s time to look beyond the protests and political battles around climate change that dominated 2014, and look at the year and the decade ahead. From the California drought to shifting forest patterns across B.C., there is evidence that our climate is changing more rapidly. Public debate consists mainly of squabbling about the significance of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, rather than what can be done to prepare. A draft discussion paper from the B.C. forests ministry on wildfire control was released in December after an access to information request. “Climate Change Adaptation and Action Plan For Wildfire Management, 2014-2024” describes the progress made in the province’s community forest fire prevention plan, and its goal to create “wildfire resilient ecosystems and wildfire adapted communities”
over the next 10 years. The final discussion paper is to be released early in 2015, but the key research is in. It estimates that by 2017 there will be 788 million cubic metres of dead pine in B.C. forests. Fires in these areas spread 2.6 times faster than in healthy green stands, up to 66 metres per minute. The report calls for fuel management beyond community boundaries to stop “mega-fires” by creating landscape-level fuel breaks, with targeted harvesting, prescribed burning and new silviculture practices. It notes that bark beetle infestations and bigger, hotter fires are being seen across North America, with costs rising along with urban development. For example, the 2011 Slave Lake fire in northern Alberta generated the second largest insurance charge in Canadian history. The costs of preparing

FLETCHER B.C. Views
are huge. The costs of not preparing could be catastrophic. Also in 2014, the B.C. government appointed an advisory committee to prepare for the renewal of the Columbia River Treaty with the United States. While this 1964 the treaty has no end date, its flood control mandate expires in 2024. I spoke with Deborah Harford and Jon O’Riordan, members of the Simon Fraser University Adaptation to Climate Change Team (ACT), who, along with ACT senior policy author
Robert Sandford, have written a provocative book on the treaty. They hope it will help lead to a renewed agreement that will be a model for a changing world. “If you’re looking ahead 60 years from 2024, there’s a lot of climate change projected in that period, for British Columbia and the U.S.,” Harford said. “For the B.C. side, we’re looking at heavy precipitation and potential increase in snowmelt runoff, while in the States, you’re getting the opposite, much less snow. “There will probably be no snowpack left down there, and they’re looking at the prospect of quite drastically lower flows in the summer.” The treaty, sparked by devastating floods in 1948, led to construction of three dams on the B.C. side and one at Libby, Washington that backed up Kookanusa Lake into B.C. Between that reser-
voir and the Arrow Lakes, 110,000 hectares of B.C. land was flooded, including orchards, dairy farms and the homes of 2,000 people. Those dams hold back spring flood water and provide for irrigation that has allowed Washington to expand its agriculture to a $5 billion-a-year industry. The treaty shares the value of hydroelectric power generated by the many downstream U.S. dams such as the Grand Coulee, but it pays B.C. nothing for agricultural benefits that were achieved at the cost of B.C. farms and aboriginal territories. O’Riordan notes that climate shifts create a strategic benefit for B.C. The U.S. has no more dam capacity to exploit, and needs us more than ever, for flood protection and water supply.

The Canadian Press Larry David says a “Curb Your Enthusiasm” reunion is still possible but doesn’t look all that likely. He told Bill Simmons of Grantland that the odds are about six to one that the comedy won’t return. The “Seinfeld” co-creator says the backlash from that show’s finale taught him there’s not much upside in trying to formally give “Curb Your Enthusiasm” a tidy send-off. “Well, you know, I got so much grief from the ‘Seinfeld’ finale, which a lot of people intensely disliked, that I no longer feel a need to wrap things up,” David says. “I wouldn’t say I’m mad about it, but it taught me a lesson that if I ever did another show, I wasn’t going to wrap it up.”

TV LISTINGS New host for ‘Late Late Show’ The Canadian Press James Corden is set to take over “The Late Late Show” from Craig Ferguson in the new year and recently had his onscreen initiation. Corden is an experienced actor and host, already well known on the other side of the pond, but he seems shy and nervous as he’s teased by the outgoing Ferguson. Of course, it’s almost certainly all an act and you can bet Corden will be polished and ready when he takes over in March.

Letters & Opinion
Will phasing out coal solve rise in greenhouse gas emissions?
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - “We are phasing out the use of traditional dirty coal. It’s going to go to zero in the next 15 years or so. It’s not high now and it’s continuing to phase out. This is the biggest, single greenhouse emitting, greenhouse gas emitting source in the world, this coal fired electricity. So if others would just follow our lead, we’d have this problem solved.” - Prime Minister Stephen Harper in a year-end interview on CBC. The Canadian government’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as part of the global fight against climate change have routinely been attacked as not going far enough. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, however, insists that Canada needs to act in lockstep with other countries and with global competitiveness in mind, especially when it comes to emissions related to the oil and gas sectors. But Harper says Canada is a leader when it comes to reducing emissions in other sectors, especially coal. Are the steps Canada is taking in that sector as effective as he claims? Spoiler alert: The Canadian Press Baloney Meter is a dispassionate examination of political statements culminating in a ranking of accuracy on a scale of “no baloney” to “full of baloney” (complete methodology below). This one earns a rating of “some baloney” the statement is partly accurate but important details are missing. Here’s why: THE FACTS Coal is responsible for about 44 per cent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, a figure which continues to rise as developing countries rely on the fossil fuel to power their economies.
In Canada, coal accounts for about 12 per cent of emissions, a figure which has been falling as the country switches to producing more energy from renewable sources like hydro and nuclear power. In 2012, regulations on coal emissions in Canada were passed by the Conservative government and starting in July 2015, any new coal-fired power plant will have to limit their emissions, as will old ones as they reach the end of their useful lifespans, which is between 45 and 50 years after they are built. The regulations, coupled with actions taken by the provinces, such as Ontario’s move to close all coal-fired plants, will see emissions from coal continue to fall over the next 15 years, according to data from Environment Canada. In 2030, emissions from coal are projected to be 26 megatonnes, down from 101 in 2005, according to Environment Canada’s report to the United Nations this year. One reason they won’t be at zero within the 15-year timeline suggested by the prime minister is that not all existing coalfired power plants will be required to comply with the regulations by then. By one count, there are at least 10 units which won’t fall under the regulations until after 2030, including one that won’t be affected until 2062. WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY “If it were the way he had described it - by 2030 all coal has to turn off - that would be a big deal globally,” climate policy analyst P.J. Partington, who did the tally of plants subject to regulations, said of Harper’s remarks. “ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, that’s not how Canada’s policy works. So if other countries were
to follow our lead, that would mean allowing every coal plant that has been built or will be built by the middle of next year to run for its full economic life, which means you still have coal running around the world until the mid 2060s. I don’t think that’s really the solution we need to be looking at.” There are reports of close to 1200 new coal-fired power plants being proposed around the world, with the bulk in China and India. “Currently, coal fills much of the growing energy demand of those developing countries (such as China and India) where energyintensive industrial production is growing rapidly and large coal reserves exist with limited reserves of other energy sources,” says the International Energy Institute. While it is true that coal is the dirtiest fossil fuel, it’s also not the biggest part of greenhouse gas pollution in Canada, said Claire Demerse, a senior policy adviser with Clean Energy Canada. “The federal government has not imposed any regulations at all on Canada’s biggest source of greenhouse gas pollution, the oil and gas sector,” she said. “Unless Canadian governments set stronger rules to cut greenhouse gas pollution, Canada’s emissions are projected to grow over the next five years and keep growing during the decade after that.” Other countries are regulating the coal sector. The United States where coal makes up about a third of total emissions - proposed its own regulations this year. They are similar to Canada’s but one major difference is how fast they would come into effect. The new rules would impose per-
formance standards immediately, meaning they would lower emissions almost right away. The regulations are not yet in force. However, neither set of regulations will get either country to its emissions target set in Copenhagen. “While both policies will reduce total national emissions, significant gaps are likely to remain with respect to both countries’ Copenhagen pledges to reduce 2020 emissions to 17 per cent below 2005 levels-with the U.S. projected to be 7.6 per cent below 2005 levels by 2020, and Canada 0.4 per cent,” said a September study by the International Institute for Sustainable Development. THE VERDICT It will be a lot longer than 15 years before coal-fired electricity drops to zero in Canada, but it is in the process of being phased out. Emissions from the coal sector are responsible for the largest share of greenhouse gases globally and getting them down will bring total emission levels down; but with levels in the oil and gas sector likely to rise, the overall problem remains. For these reasons, Harper’s statement contains “some baloney.” METHODOLOGY The Baloney Meter is a project of The Canadian Press that examines the level of accuracy in statements made by politicians.

Order of Canada
Sheldon Kennedy among newest admissions
THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Sheldon Kennedy says being the recipient of one of the country’s top honours can serve as a beacon to lead countless other children out of the darkness of child abuse. The 45-year-old former NHLer, one of Canada’s most vocal advocates on the issue of child abuse, is one of 95 admissions and promotions to the Order of Canada announced Friday. “For me, I’m not doing this work to win awards for Sheldon Kennedy. I’m doing this work because I understand the damage that this crime has on our kids,” he said. “And it’s killing our kids.” The list of those being honoured include Richard Pound, the Submitted photo Montreal lawyer who has served Joan Hanson, Rossland Health Care Auxiliary twice as a vice-president of the president, presents $30,000 to Lisa Pasin, direc- International Olympic Committee tor of development KBRH Health Foundation. and is also the former president This donation fulfills Rossland Health Care of the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Kennedy, who has opened an advocacy centre in Calgary to help abused children, said he still can’t believe he has joined such a vaunted club as the Order of Canada. But he said he hopes it inspires other victims to come forward and seek help. “For these issues to represented and understood and to be recognized at this level, to me, is absolutely huge,” said Kennedy, a 10-year-NHL veteran. Kennedy went on to become a leading voice for sexual abuse victims following his own experience being abused by his coach, Graham James, for five years during his time as a junior hockey player. “My message is really about hope, and that you’re not alone. Our country is a lot more understanding of these issues today than we were even 10 years ago, and to me that should give people confidence to come forward,” he said. In the past year, Kennedy said his centre has done 2,000 investigations into abuse allegations from children seeking help. Onethird of those under age 12 were showing signs of suicidal ideation, sexualized behaviour, addiction issues, violence, mental health issues. “And when they get up over 15, over half are presenting all of the above. “To me, these issues, we need to understand the damage this crime has.” The Order of Canada was established in 1967, the country’s centennial year, to recognize “outstanding achievement, dedication to community and service to the nation.” More than 6,000 Canadians from all walks of life have been invested with the Order since then. The new recipients will be given their insignia in a ceremony at a later date.

Smokies energized after break By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
The Trail Smoke Eaters ended a nine game losing streak in decisive fashion with a 7-3 victory over the West Kelowna Warriors on Sunday at the Cominco Arena. After a slow start, the Smokies came out energized in the second period scoring four times to take an important two points from their Interior division rival. “As the game went on I thought our team got stronger,” said Trail coach and GM Nick Deschenes. “It was a close game and then we were able to open it up in the second half of the game and there were flashes of that 10-goal game against Surrey and what our group can do when we execute and work hard.” Smoke Eater captain Scott Davidson led the way scoring twice, including the winning goal, and adding an assist in Trail’s first win in December. Davidson put the Smokies up for good after a Warrior defenceman tried to clear the zone by sending the puck off the glass. The puck took a lucky bounce hitting the stanchion and bouncing to Harlan Orr who delivered it to Davidson in front and the Quinnipiac

Orr capped off the scoring on a shorthanded goal driving to the net and knocking in his own rebound while falling to the ice. The Warriors outshot the Smokies 33-28 and went 1-for4 on the power play, while Trail was 2-for-5. The Smokies played solid defensively and, perhaps more important, received production from all four lines, which they’ll need to make up ground in the tight Interior division. “I thought we played a really good team game, we were outshot but I don’t think we gave them much, we still played a pretty tight defensive game,” said Deschenes. “We’re still in good shape, we have to win a lot of hockey games to get back in the pack but a lot of those games are against the teams we’re chasing so it can turn pretty quick.” Trail travels to West Kelowna tonight for a rematch at 7 p.m. with the Warriors.

Forty-five seconds later Connor BrowneMaloski batted in a bouncing puck to make it 2-1, but the Warriors Kylar Hope deflected a perfect slap pass from Liam Blackburn by the helpless Clark to even it a minute later. Davidson would restore the lead with a power-play goal on a set up from Kienan Scott and Bryan Basilico at 14:56 to give the Smokies a 3-2 edge before potting his 10th of the season with 99 seconds to play in the middle frame. The Warriors would make it 4-3 on a power play 35 seconds into the third but Max Newton would restore the two-goal cushion finishing a pass from AP Spencer McLean, and Zuccarini teamed up with Lucchini to beat Lenko with another great move to the backhand for a 6-3 lead.

THE CANADIAN PRESS The year 2014 was, in some ways, the year of the TV anniversary. It marked the 50th anniversary of The Beatles conquering North America on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” the 45th anniversary of the launch of “Sesame Street” and 22 years of “This Hour Has 22 Minutes.” Fifty years from now, when archeologists pry open the lid of a TV time capsule from 2014, what will they discover? Will television even be around in 2064? Here are some items I’d put in the time capsule to try to commemorate 2014. SOMETHING TRANSPARENT to signify the best new show this fall (that Canadians still can’t see): “Transparent.” The hour-long drama is a twisted, searing and yet hilarious look at one weird Californian clan. Jeffrey Tambor (“Arrested Development”) will win an Emmy for his fearless and nuanced portrayal of the transgendered head of this wacky family. It originates on Amazon Prime, one of these new digital platforms available in America and the U.K. but not in Canada, although somebody here has bought the rights. A TOSSED LEAFS JERSEY to represent Rogers’ $5.2-billion, 12-year NHL rights deal. The net result: Leafs still win games, then lose games in bunches. HBO AND CBS LOGOS reminding folks this was the year those two networks took the bold step of offering their entire content on digital platforms. A SKELETON WITH A MOHAWK to salute the departure of “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.” The Scottish-born host’s arty exit reminded viewers that what he delivered was something that was simply not there before. Also exiting in 2014: Jay Leno from “The Tonight Show” and Stephen Colbert from “The Colbert Report.” AN EMPTY RECYCLING BIN to represent “Utopia.” It promised a year of lofty ideals and adventure as random citizens got together to build the society of the future. Instead, it delivered the usual petty humiliations and was basically “Big Brother” gone camping. A PORN TAPE to help explain, in the words of Marg Delahunty (Mary Walsh), what the words “Crave” and “Shomi” really bring to mind. See CAPSULE, Page 14

FROM PAGE 13 CANNED LAUGHTER to explain why several attempts to breathe new life into Canadian sitcoms found little momentum in 2014. A BATTERED BRO CODE BOOK to mark the worst TV finale ever. “How I Met Your Mother” went out with the mother of all bad endings. That was nine years fans will never get back. A PIECE OF REALLY THIN SKIN to commemorate the TV critic’s press tour session last January where the folks behind “Girls” went postal over suggestions Lena Dunham walks around naked too often on her sitcom. A JEAN BELIVEAU PLAYING CARD. The Montreal Canadiens’ great captain was saluted in death the way he lived, with dignity, respect and elan. A PAIR OF SOCKS to salute Bertram Cooper (Robert Morse), who went out on a high note in the season finale of “Mad Men.” A GLASS OF BITTERS to salute the most forgotten TV host of 2014: CNN’s Piers Morgan. A MARK MESSIER TRADING CARD to salute the omnipresent ex-Edmonton Oilers captain, who, instead of simply shilling for Roger’s hockey bundles, should have been asked to host the new “Hockey Night in Canada.” A ROB FORD BOBBLEHEAD to remind Torontonians of how their city became world famous for something other than being clean as Jimmy Kimmel and all of the late-night U.S. talk-show hosts feasted on Ford’s follies. A NETFLIX COUPON to mark perhaps the most significant event in Canadian television in 2014: when the folks behind the U.S.-based digital platform said no to the CRTC’s request for information, throwing down a gauntlet that sent shock waves through the boardrooms of the entire Canadian broadcast community. AN IN DEEPEST SYMPATHY CARD to mark the passing of what seemed like a steady parade of TV greats in 2014, including Don Pardo, Knowlton Nash, Harold Ramis, Sid Caesar, Robin Williams, Joan Rivers, Dave Madden, Ann B. Davis, Casey Kasem, Shirley Temple, James Avery, James Garner and Annette Funicello. A DVD BOX SET OF “The Cosby Show.” Either that or a battered box of Jell-O pudding. It may take till 2064 to sort out Cosby’s legacy. A BIG-EARED TEDDY BEAR. The poor little fella may not want to come out until 2064.

they sure will appreciate that deposit for a new car or having part of their college tuition paid or knowing there’s an investment nest egg started for them. -- The Aunt They’ll Appreciate Later Dear Aunt: We’re on your side -- and we suspect these kids will be, too, albeit not for a while. Good for you for not allowing yourself to be pressured into spending on stuff they will forget about in a month. Dear Annie: I liked your reply to “Lost Soldier,” who had trouble reconnecting to the civilian world after serving in the military. As an ex-Navy Seabee, I
of an organization that “Lost Soldier” may find interesting and helpful. It is called The Mission Continues (missioncontinues.org). This organization empowers veterans to keep serving and succeeding in their own communities. I became aware of this organization when Jon Stewart mentioned it on “The Daily Show.” -- Amy Dear Annie: As a Vietnam veteran also diagnosed with PTSD and having had some of the same difficulties, I have seen therapists for years. Recently, I had a mental health crisis and went to a local veterans service center. It was one of the best things I have done in the 46 years since I served. Through individual and group therapy, I have discovered camaraderie and support. Most notably, I found that I am no different from other group members sharing the same experiences and life challeng-
es. Generally, combat veterans have a tendency to retreat into ourselves and withdraw from loved ones and society in general. I highly recommend that all veterans returning from deployment in combat areas, as well as their
families, seek out their local veterans center. I sincerely hope that it will not take 46 years for these outstanding young men and women to get help. -- B. Dear Annie: I suggest “Lost Soldier” investigate joining the police department. The
pay is good, and it offers outstanding benefits. I am a retired military veteran who served 35 years as a police officer. I can promise him that he’d never lack for something to do, and no two days are ever alike. It was the best job I ever had. -- P.

understand completely. What helped me the most was joining some of the local serviceconnected groups like the American Legion, AMVETS, FRA and, for me particularly, the Seabee Veterans of America. It was nice to be able to talk to others without having to “translate” and to again have the feeling of being part of a family. He could also volunteer with one of the groups. Or, if there is a nearby military display or museum, try there. I never served aboard a ship, but I now help take care of a WWII museum ship. Any exmilitary person is and always will be part of the larger Army/Navy/ Marine/Air Force/Coast Guard family. -- Can Do Dear Can Do: We were heartened by the outpouring of support for “Lost Soldier” from civilians, as well as exmilitary.

2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
Dear Annie: Many people say they feel obligated to buy birthday and holiday gifts for children they rarely see or who are already overindulged. I had that situation with my brother’s family. My sister-in-law goes overboard in the giftgiving department. So my thought was: Why buy another toy that will get lost in the pile? And since I don’t see them that often, what do I buy? The solution was to put the money I would have spent into a certificate of deposit, a TAP (college tuition) account or a share of stock. Each time, I send a card letting them know how much has been invested in their name. My sister-in-law hates this. She’s all about the gift-opening experience. My brother, however, loves it. He’s tired of shoveling a trail through his house. The kids don’t care, but when they are older,

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Disputes about money might arise today. There’s a strong likelihood that these disagreements could relate to children or some kind of social extravagance. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Today the Moon is in your sign, at odds with both Mars and Jupiter. Mars, of course, will create tension and irritability. But Jupiter will make you want to eat too much and laugh it up. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You have a choice of two directions to go in today. Either you can be irritable with others, or you can be lighthearted and friendly. Surely, the choice is yours. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions with a female friend or acquaintance might go sour if you touch on controversial subjects. Instead,

keep things light. Talk about the weather. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Tread carefully when dealing with bosses and authority figures today, because you could incur their wrath. Ironically, it’s just as easy to make them laugh and approve of you. (Use skillful means.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues with others today, because arguments might easily break out. Look for common ground instead of differences. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Disputes about shared property, taxes, inheritances and jointly held possessions are likely today. But this doesn’t have to be the case. Instead, enjoy a warm camaraderie with friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Be patient with partners
and close friends today, especially about family matters or something having to do with your home. Listen to the advice of someone older or wiser. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be extra patient with coworkers and customers on the job today, because you might get emotionally volatile. Naturally, this is not productive. Look on the bright side, and this energy will dis-
appear. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Be patient with children today, and also be patient with romantic partners. Your emotions can run either way. You can be prickly with others or lighthearted. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Guard against irritable knee-jerk reactions to family members today. It’s just as easy to be lighthearted and
cheerful. This is not always the case, but today you have a choice. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your financial judgment is not the best today because it’s easy for you to go overboard. Guard against extravagance and foolish generosity. YOU BORN TODAY You have excellent taste and appreciate beauty in your surroundings. Naturally, you take care with your own
