WINTER/SPRING CONCERT SERIES

SALLY MACDONALDTownsman Staff

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

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

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

Butler is an umpire for Curl B.C., the Cana-dian Curling Association and the World Curling Federation. She has been involved in curling for longer than 30 years,

and it goes without say-ing that she is passionate about the sport.

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

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

He was a father and re-putedly a hard worker. Origi-nally from Cranbrook, he is also being described as a pretty tough 32-year-old man, according to friends posting on his Facebook me-morial page.

But something happened to Christopher Ausman in the early hours of Saturday that RCMP cannot explain, as yet.

A police officer found the young man’s deceased body in a pool of his own blood on a Rutland sidewalk, and yet his death is not officially being called a murder.

“We want to gather as much information as possi-ble. The circumstances cer-tainly are suspicious and once we can provide a label such as homicide, or not, then we’ll go to that next step,” said Const. Kris Clark, Kelowna RCMP spokesman,

in a press conference held outside the detachment Monday morning.

“…We are left with very few other circumstances, yes,” Clark admitted, but he would go no further.

Ausman’s lifeless body was spotted in the 100 block of Highway 33 near to where it intersects with Rutland Road at 2:06 a.m. by an offi-cer who was just driving through the area. The stretch houses the Cadillac Lounge

strip club, the Olympia Greek Taverna Restaurant, a jewel-lery store and a vacant store-front. Just up the street is a 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station.

Police have done inter-views and received tips from several members of the public and there are video surveillance tapes from the surrounding busi-nesses.

Ausman’s personal Face-book account shows a man

with near 900 friends and a life that included a young daughter. He is originally from Cranbrook.

The memorial page set up by friends and family contin-ues to collect photos, videos and comments.

“Well, I sure as hell hope someone in the world today had triplet baby boys to try and make up for the loss of this great man! We’re gonna need at least three hearts to balance the huge heart that

Chris had,” wrote Trevor Wicheruk.

“The other side must be having one hell of a good time now that the life of the party has arrived,” wrote Jayna Colins.

Police will not comment on whether a weapon was found in the vicinity.

A dog team was called in immediately and officers could be seen combing over the scene all day Satur-day.

Highland dancers, bagpipers and the town folk of Cranbrook were on hand as Russ Kinghorn gave the traditional address to the haggis on Saturday night. The celebration of Scottish poet and lyricist Robbie Burns’ birthday included performances by the Liela Cooper and Hali Duncan Schools of Highland Dance and the Kimberley Pipe Band. The event is a fundraiser for the schools of dance. Burns was born January 25, 1759.

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

“People don’t be-lieve that we all volun-teer to do this. But that’s the only way that you can sustain most sports is to have good volun-teers and people who are willing to do it,” said Butler.

“I work with some really great people who do the wheelchair and the men’s and ladies and juniors. There are a lot of really good offi-cials in Canada and now in Europe.

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

The wheelchair curl-ing athletes have an extra challenge: there is no sweeping in their event.

“The ice is a bit keener and their rocks aren’t as sharp; they’re not textured as much so they don’t curl as much

as they do in regular curling,” said Butler.

“That all has to be taken into consider-ation when they play the sport – that they don’t have any sweep-ing.”

Wheelchair athletes in particular are grate-ful for the volunteers that help run the game.

“They are just appre-ciative of the time that people put in,” said But-ler. “I think they realize that they wouldn’t have something like this without all these volun-teers.”

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

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

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

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

“All the stadiums are in the one area. The vil-lages are there, the media centre is there,

the hotels are all in the one cluster. So you get into that cluster and it will be quite secure.”

The 2014 Sochi Paralympic Winter Games run from March 7 to 16, with wheelchair

curling events on March 8 to 15. Some events will be televised on CBC and Sportsnet.

Cranbrook will soon have the results of a traffic control review.

The review is being carried out by McEl-hanney Consulting Services Ltd, in con-junction with ICBC, and is looking at sign and pavement mark-ings in the city.

“We’ve been talking a lot about ICBC doing some studies for us re-garding some roads,” said CAO Wayne Staudt. “I think first of all we should under-stand that this is not a full road audit. What they are doing is they are going to provide us with a couple of studies dealing with line paint-ing and signs within the road system, so it’s not a full-blown road audit. We have one re-port ready and expect the other report short-ly.”

Once both reports are available, Staudt

said city staff will sum-marize them and re-port back to council.

Coun. Denise Pallesen said the Cran-brook in Motion com-mittee has seen the first report and is awaiting the second re-port as well.

The first document is a sign and paint man-ual that gives standards for the city related to paint and signs for the road system. The sec-ond document is a traf-

fic control review of the city that will identify variations from the Sign and Paint Manual, while providing sketch-es of recommended im-provements to the ex-isting signage and pavement markings.

Coun. Diana J. Scott had asked about a ICBC safety audit in the prior meeting.

“I’m prepared to wait for these reports,” Scott said, “but given the number of letters

that we get from the public with regards to our crosswalks and ve-hicle pedestrian inter-actions, I’m wondering if we couldn’t make an initial inquiry with ICBC to see what would the costs be to have a safety audit, just to ex-plore that initially.”

Staudt said the city could contact ICBC to see what the cost would be and then bring it back to council as an administrative update.

Review looks at Cranbrook traffic

F o r t h e to w n s m A nOn Saturday, February 1, an in-

credible pool of talent will come together for an evening of enter-tainment in support of Jenna Homeniuk.

Jenna is a 15-year-old Kimberley girl who has been fighting leukae-mia for the past 18 months. Al-though there have been numerous fundraising campaigns and events for which the family is deeply ap-preciative and grateful, the chal-lenges are ongoing with Jenna fac-ing another round of chemo, and then a second bone marrow trans-plant. The financial pressure con-tinues and our community is once again reaching out to help them.

The Good Ol’ Goats will head-line the evening with additional performances by 60 Hertz, Sheva and the Rosie Brown Band.

The Goats are from Cranbrook and made national headlines last year in their bid for the Cana-da-wide Searchlight competition, where they competed against 3,000 talented groups/artists and came second place nationally.

60 Hertz are a well-known group of musicians from Kimberley known for their high-energy origi-nal music.

Van and Shelagh Redecopp – “Sheva” – are a well known duo who captivate audiences with their vocal harmonies, coupled with vio-lin and guitar.

The Rosie Brown Band is the East Kootenay’s own all female bluegrass sensation.

As an added bonus to the eve-ning, GOT Adventure’s Adam Buck and Brenda Birrell are providing a one-day dogsled tour for two, com-plete with gourmet lunch. There will be a live auction for this unique opportunity during the show.

The concert will be held at McKim Theatre, Saturday, Febru-ary 1 at 7:30 p.m. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for a pre-show get together.

All the bands, suppliers and technical crew have kindly donated their time and talent in support of Jenna. One hundred per cent of the proceeds will go to the Jenna Homeniuk Trust Fund.

The B.C. government is aiming to reverse a slide in mineral explora-tion investment that has come after world metal prices peaked and then declined to a 10-year av-erage level in the past two years.

Premier Christy Clark and Energy and Mines Minister Bill Ben-nett helped open the annual Association for Mineral Exploration B.C.’s conference in Vancouver Monday with a pair of announce-ments.

Clark told delegates the province’s mining exploration tax credit will be extended for an-other year in the B.C. budget to be tabled in February. That is ex-pected to provide $10 million for exploration.

Geoscience BC, an

industry research orga-nization started by the province in 2005, also released results of its lat-est aerial survey to iden-tify new mineral poten-tial in the B.C. Interior.

“Every time Geosci-enceBC does a project like this, in the ensuing three or four years you see a significant bump in exploration activity in the area where the sur-vey was done,” Bennett said in an interview.

He added that much of B.C.’s Interior is cov-ered by glacial till from the ice age that ended 10,000 years ago, mak-ing traditional mineral prospecting impossible over large areas.

He said the tax credit is similar to what B.C. provides for deep drill-ing and other uncon-ventional natural gas exploration, but on a smaller scale. It sup-ports junior mining companies and is not a subsidy to established corporations, he said.

Clark told the mining conference that the gov-ernment is halfway to its election commitment of 17 new and expanded mines in B.C., including the new Mt. Milligan copper mine and others that have received per-mits.

She also referred to the need for a review of B.C.’s environmental as-sessment system.

“My belief is that the process over the years has gotten less certain, less predictable, and probably not as efficient as people would like,” Clark told reporters after her speech.

The fourth quarter building permits issued by the city were compa-rable in 2013 and 2012, though the year to date figures show that 2013 was not as fruitful in construction as the year before.

The value of all con-struction in Cranbrook in the October to De-cember 2013 period, was $5 million, about $120,000 less than in 2012.

However, the year to date data has a different story, as CAO Wayne Staudt pointed out in council on Jan. 20.

“We’re certainly down from last year for building permits is-

sued,” Staudt said. “In 2012, we had 253 per-mits issued; this year it was down to 207 build-ing permits being is-sued.”

Total construction figures were down by a third, in 2013. They were at $19.6 million com-pared to $30.7 million in 2012.

Mayor Wayne Stetski noted that some of the decrease on the indus-trial side had to do with several million invested in 2012 into the spray irrigation facilities.

Construction of resi-dential buildings was $12.3 million in 2013, compared to $13.9 mil-

lion in 2012. “The residential is al-

most the same,” said Coun. Diana J. Scott. “It was the commercial and industrial that was dif-ferent, so at least with regards to housing de-velopment and those types of permits, that seems to be fairly sta-ble.”

Coun. Angus Davis worried that the city re-

lied too much on that aspect.

“We’re reliant on the housing market,” Davis said. “The interest rates in the housing business are pretty low, so this makes it attractive to people being able to borrow the money. The rates cannot be guaran-teed and there are signs that there are indeed cracks in our economy.”

Davis said he reads about factories closing, mines shutting down and opposition to what industry wants to do in this country.

“That’s going to have an effect,” he said. “Right now if we depend on the housing industry with its low interest rate, we have to be prepared for a change — and I think that as we go along we

become comfortable with the status quo.”

Davis said as a coun-cil they owe it to them-selves to get abreast of where the economy in this country is going.

“All the indicators are there that change is going to be coming,” he said.

“If times start to get tough, we have to be able to react to that.”

Niki SiNhartCreativity is not only essential for artists,

but for many other realms of life. Creative people are able to tackle challenges in new and unconventional ways; skills that are important in math, science and any situa-tion that involves innovative problem solv-ing abilities.

Even if you think you are completely uncreative yourself, you can foster creativity in your child and it might even save you money.

A stick, for example, can entertain chil-dren for a long time, because the possibili-ties of what it represents are endless. That’s why the stick was added to the “National Toy Hall of Fame” in 2008. Often expensive, less creative toys become boring to children because they only do one thing.

When providing children with resources to express themselves creatively, the most important resource is time. Children need a lot of unstructured, child-directed time to create and use their imagination. Refrain from directing their play or expecting a fin-ished product, but rejoice in the process it-self.

Don’t reward children for their creativi-ty. Sometimes rewarding children will make them less likely to do the activity for the sake of the activity and start doing it for the re-ward.

Don’t get too involved yourself. Don’t start gluing or painting on your child’s pic-ture or tell your child what they should make or how they should do it. Don’t judge – instead encourage your child to tell you about his/her creations.

There are many ways to foster creative thinking in your children.

• Involve your children in solving prob-

lems. Encourage them to brainstorm ideas, without judging any of them, and then find a suitable solution.

• Embrace mistakes as learning oppor-tunities. Instead of punishing your children for mistakes they make, involve your chil-dren in finding ways to solve their prob-lems. Share the mistakes you’ve made with your children and laugh about your own mistakes to show that it’s not the end of the word to make a mistake – it’s a learning op-portunity.

• Children who are afraid of failure and judgment will curb their creative thinking.

• Encourage independent thinking. It’s okay if your children disagree with you. See if they’ll be able to find good arguments to convince you of their opinion. Have a rich discussion where you learn from each other.

• Ask open-ended questions that have more than one right answer to stimulate critical, independent thinking. Like: “What’s your favourite...?” or “How do you feel about...?” Asking questions that don’t have one right answer encourages children to respond creatively without being afraid of giving the wrong answer.

• Celebrate innovation and creativity. Visit the library and look for books about creative people in various areas of life: sci-ence, music, visual art. Encourage reading for pleasure!

• Innovation is all around us. Visit the farmer’s market and see what some local artists have created. Listen to music. Ex-press yourself through dance.

• Decorate cupcakes. Go on a nature walk and collect items for a collage. Take pictures. Talk about ideas. Have fun!

Fostering children’s creativity can be done with inexpensive or recycled items.

Here are some ideas for materials to sup-ply your child with to encourage creativity:

Arts/Crafts• Supply children with scissors, glue,

paper, washable markers, crayons or wash-able paint.

• You can also add materials from nature such as leaves or shells.

• Make prints with sponges, a potato with a shape cut into it, leaves, etc.

• Make 3D designs with plasticine, clay or play dough.

• Supply children with different sized cardboard boxes to make sculptures and maybe add some paper plates and paper towel rolls.

• Brown paper bags can be made into puppets and various other things.

• Children love to add sparkles, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, pompoms and feath-ers.

Dramatic/Imaginary Play• Blankets, sheets and furniture can be

used for building play forts • A square scarf can be made into a skirt,

turban, cape, etc. • Pots and pans and other safe kitchen

items can be used as musical instruments or to pretend cook.

The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!

triSh BarNeSB.C.’s showcase ecosystem

restoration partnership has re-leased a pivotal document that reports out on 15 years of ac-tivity and results.

Last week, the Rocky Moun-tain Trench Ecosystem Resto-ration Program presented the first copies of its Blueprint for Action 2013 to Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, and Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines.

Thomson’s ministry is a key ER Program partner and funder, and uses the pioneer-ing Trench program as a model for ecosystem restoration else-where in the province.

Also last week, directors of the Rocky Mountain Trench Natural Resources Society, a founding partner in the ER Program, met with Bennett to brief him on the Blueprint’s contents, and discuss ways the provincial government can continue to support resto-ration.

Kootenay East MLA Ben-nett has championed the pro-gram since he was first elected in 2001.

“Restoring our region’s

grasslands and open forests enables us to maintain the tra-ditional open habitat without which we would lose the spe-cies of flora and fauna that are native to the Rocky Mountain Trench,” Bennett said. “Resto-ration also has the important but secondary benefit of miti-gating forest fire risk.”

The Trench ER Program is a cooperative effort by 30 agen-cies — representing govern-ment, industry, First Nations and the public — to restore fire-maintained ecosystems degraded by fire suppression and forest ingrowth. The pro-gram operates on Crown land, First Nations reserves, provin-

cial and federal parks, and pri-vate conservation properties.

Blueprint for Action 2013 is a description of how program partners have restored many thousands of hectares over the past 15 years.

Using photos, maps and ar-ticles by restoration practi-tioners and scientists, the re-port delves into the fire ecolo-gy of the southern Rocky Mountain Trench, the life cycle of a restoration project, results from project monitoring and plans for the future.

Comparative photos from 1883, 1906 and 2013 showing dramatic changes in forest and grassland landscapes are one of the highlights.

“We’ve learned so much in our first 15 years,” said Randy Harris, the report’s technical editor. “The next 15 years is our chance to use the science we’ve learned, our operational know-how and our peo-ple-power to make the pro-gram that much better.”

Print and digital editions of Blueprint for Action 2013 can be ordered or downloaded at trench-er.com. The complete 52-page report and a 4-page summary report are available.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2014

Premier Christy Clark has set off a storm of protest by imposing a referendum on new Lower Mainland transportation improvements, timed with the prov-ince-wide municipal elections on Nov. 15.

Even if you don’t live in Metro Vancou-ver, you’re not immune from this long-run-ning saga. Provincial and federal governments use your tax dollars for the big stuff, including the SkyTrain Canada Line to Vancouver airport and the South Fraser Perimeter Road, a new truck route to port facilities at Tsawwassen.

Clark has promised a bridge replace-ment for the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River, which may or may not be tolled like the Port Mann bridge. The patchwork of Lower Mainland tolls is a growing political liability for the B.C. Lib-eral government, and if further tolls are avoided, major works elsewhere in the province may be delayed as the budget is eaten up by the big cities.

Clark announced the Massey tunnel replacement in a September 2012 speech to the Union of B.C. Municipalities. In the same speech, she also pledged to com-plete the four-laning of the last 240 km of the Trans-Canada Highway from Kam-loops to the Alberta border. That’s one of the most mountainous stretches of high-

way in Canada, and the province’s cost was estimated at the time to be $650 million over 10 years. Time will tell if that promise is kept.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone in-herited the mess left behind by former minister Kevin Falcon, who took transit

authority away from Metro Vancouver politicians. He appointed a board of ex-perts and set up a toothless “mayors’ council” to rub-ber-stamp their decisions, after forcing through the Canada Line ahead of a long-promised transit ex-

tension to the east.Local politicians wrangled for years

over that eastern extension. They finally settled on surface light rail, only to be over-ruled by the province, which wanted the vastly more expensive SkyTrain.

The latest rebuke to the mayors’ council was when they decided not to proceed with a costly new electronic fare card sys-tem. Falcon reversed that one after taking a junket to London and falling in love with their “Oyster card” subway system. All the glitches from TransLink’s new “Compass card” program will be encountered this summer, just before those mayors go to the polls to face voter wrath.

Speaking of reversals, Stone is now de-manding the mayors come up with their

list of priorities for new projects. They are expected to believe their choices won’t be overruled again.

Stone correctly notes that Vancouver wants SkyTrain on Broadway, Surrey wants new surface light rail, and other Lower Mainland communities want new road and bridge works. Local governments have a long history of parochial squabbling, getting their pet projects done and then suddenly developing the urge to rein in spending once it’s time to dig deep for their neighbours.

Lower Mainland taxpayers are weary and confused by all this reorganizing and in-fighting. Many likely believe that it is their regional government that has im-posed the Port Mann bridge tolls, when in fact that is a provincial highway project over which they had no say.

Clark has made it clear there is no going back from a November referendum on new regional transportation financing tools, a promise explicit in the B.C. Liberal election platform. She hopes it will in-crease the dismal voter turnout for local votes.

If it does that, it may be worth it. Right now, civic elections are dismal affairs, with voter turnout and awareness of local issues drifting from bad to worse.

Cranbrook and Kimberley will be well represented at the B.C. Winter Games as athletes in vari-ous sports prepare to give their best in the field of competition when the event kicks off in Mis-sion in February.

Local skiers Emma Damm, Jamie Casselman and Ethan Blair are part of the 10-member alpine ski team that will represent the Kootenay zone during the Games.

All three are members of the Kimberley Alpine Team, coming out of the Nancy Greene pro-gram. They are coached by Ethan’s dad, Jon, and have been very active on the slopes at races this season.

Damm, 13, is looking forward to her B.C. Games, not just for the racing, but for for the atmosphere as well.

“The experience and getting to race with a bunch of other people,” she said, on what she’ll

be excited about when she’s on the slopes.

The ski team competes in al-pine racing, giant slalom, slalom and skier cross.

Damm said the giant slalom is her specialty.

“[It’s] funner, less technical, and more about the speed,” Damm said.

Ethan beta racing when he was young under the tutelage of Jon, who himself is a former ski racer.

“My dad brought me into it and I really liked it,” Blair said.

Like Damm and Blair, Cassel-man was a part of the Nancy Greene ski program and decided to get into racing.

Casselman’s parents knew he had a future in ski racing when he was very young, because he would set up empty milk cartons in the living room and pretend to run a course on a pair of plastic skis.

All three came out of zone qualifiers in Fernie a couple

weeks ago, booking their ticket to the Winter Games after their best three finishes in six races put them in the top 10.

Casselman especially made an impact during the zone races, winning five of those six runs.

He is a veteran of both the summer and winter games in the past and is looking forward to getting back into provincial com-petition, especially in the slalom event.

“It’s fast and you have to make quick decisions because the gate’s coming at you fast,” he said.

Like Casselman, Blair has also been to the B.C. Games and is excited to compete in the rela-tively new sport of ski cross.

“Looking forward to the skier cross because it’s going to be with multiple people on the course at once and it’s going to make it more exciting,” he said.

The games begin on Feb. 20th, with Mission as the host city. Ski-ing events will be hosted by Hemlock Valley Resort.

Kootenay Ice alumni Jason Jaffray and Brayden McNabb have been named to the 2014 AHL All-Star classic, which will be hosted by the St. John’s IceCaps in Newfoundland in Feb-ruary.

The All-Star game will feature the AHL tal-ent facing off against Färjestad BK, one of the top professional teams in the Swedish Hockey League, in a two-day

event on Feb. 12, 2014.Jaffray currently

serves as captain of the St. John’s IceCaps, which is the affiliate for the Winnipeg Jets, while McNabb currently suits up for the Rochester Americans, the farm team for the Buffalo Sa-bres.

McNabb has split his time between the AHL and the NHL this year, appearing in 12 games in the show, while play-ing 22 games with Roch-ester.

Jaffray has had a long career since graduating from the WHL in 2002. Drifting in and out of the NHL, Jaffray has played the majority of his ca-reer in the AHL with a number of teams, be-fore ending up in St. John’s with the IceCaps.

Jaffray, who wears the ‘C’ for the IceCaps, will also don the same letter to lead the AHL stars against Färjestad BK, as he makes his third career appearance in an all-star capacity.

Ice alumni named to AHL All-Star team

Regina represented at Super BowlC ANADIAN PRESS

REGINA - A flag is now flying at Regina city hall to support the first Saskatche-wan-born player to compete in the Super Bowl.

Punter Jon Ryan will be on the Seattle Sea-hawks side of the field when they take on the Denver Broncos in the National Football League championship this weekend.

Regina Mayor Mi-chael Fougere (foo-ZHAYR’) and members of Ryan’s family raised the flag in the icy cold this morning.

Fougere said it’s im-portant to support Ryan in the biggest game of his life.

Ryan was born in Re-gina and played college football for the Univer-sity of Regina Rams.

He began his profes-sional career with the

Winnipeg Blue Bomb-ers of the Canadian Football League.

Ryan’s brother, Steve, and his mother, Barb, were among the family members that helped raise the navy-and-white flag Monday. They will also be among 15 family and friends travelling to MetLife Stadium in the New York area.

“I still haven’t wrapped my head

around the fact that (the Seahawks) are going to be there,” said Steve Ryan. “It’s going to be incredible.”

He said his brother was well aware of the flag-raising and good wishes being sent his way.

“Through social media, phone calls, texts, he’s just felt over-whelmed with the sup-port (he’s felt from Sas-katchewan).”

Patterson’s jumper helps Raptors get by the Nets at 104-103

BRIAN MAHONEYAssociated Press

NEW YORK - Patrick Patterson stole Deron Williams’ inbounds pass and made the go-ahead jumper with 6 seconds left, and the Toronto Raptors stopped a five-game winning streak by the Brooklyn Nets for the second time this month with a 104-103 victory Monday night.

Brooklyn had a three-point lead with 17 sec-onds left behind Paul Pierce in his best game with the Nets, but John Salmons scored on a drive with 12 seconds re-maining before Brooklyn took its last timeout to move the ball into the

frontcourt.Patterson stole the

pass and fed Kyle Lowry, who got it back to Patter-son for his jumper. Pierce was well off on a final at-tempt.

Lowry finished with 31 points and seven as-sists for the Raptors, who moved 2 1/2 games ahead of the Nets for the Atlantic Division lead.

Pierce scored 33 points, making seven 3-pointers in a strong bounce-back perfor-mance after going just 2 for 10 in his emotional return to Boston on Sun-day. He had the Nets in position to win after scoring their last nine points before Toronto

stole it.The stunning turn-

around deflated the crowd at Barclays Center for a back-and-forth game that drew a visit from several Seattle Sea-hawks, who will hold their Super Bowl media day Tuesday at the Nets’ last home, the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Richard Sherman and Bobby Wagner grabbed a baseline seat in the first half, while Russell Wilson and other players sat above in a private box.

Jonas Valanciunas had 20 points and 13 re-bounds for the Raptors, who played without in-jured leading scorer DeMar DeRozan.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) When you realize what is going on, you might abruptly head in a different direction. You could be going through a change in your image, perhaps in the community or at your place of employment. Opportunities are likely to come forward. Tonight: A must appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will be on top of your game if you can incorporate a broader view with a better understand-ing of others. You could gain a new insight in the strangest, most unexpected way. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation that sounds too good to be true. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A partner will play a strong role in today’s happenings. You could be startled by what happens in a meeting and/or with this person. Know that he or she is undergoing a tremen-dous change and might not be as responsive as you would like. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Defer to others. You will have little choice, as you clearly want to do something else. View oth-ers’ demanding ways as a gift of sorts. Be more upbeat and direct in your dealings, even if an associate or family member is unpredictable. Tonight: Sort through your many offers. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) The unexpected pops in and out of your life. You could be in the midst of some significant alter-ations. You might see others’ reactions toward you change as a result. You’ll want to make an adjustment professionally and/or in your dietary habits. Tonight: Live it up. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your creativity will allow great-er give-and-take in a volatile situation. The end results will be satisfying, especially as you seem to have gained un-derstanding. Your perspective could change radically, which might affect your decision mak-ing. Tonight: Be more childlike. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Tension could build to an un-

precedented level. A personal matter needs to be a higher pri-ority. You might like to pursue an opportunity that offers you more acknowledgment. Your sensitivity will help calm some-one down.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) In face of a changing situation, your attitude remains steady. Being steadfast allows others to open up and share where they

are coming from. You might have much more information than you know what to do with. Tonight: Beam in whatever you want. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take news with a grain of salt. You might not be ready for a big shock, but in some way, you could be responsible for that reaction. You will understand more by detaching. Make it a point to say little until you have a more complete picture. Tonight: Early to bed. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Zero in on what you want and why you want it. Be more sensi-tive to someone else’s needs as well. A question could provoke an overreaction. Use as much care as possible when dealing with your finances. No risk-tak-ing, please. Tonight: Meet up with friends. BORN TODAY Artist Jackson Pollock (1912), actor Alan Alda (1936), actor Elijah Woods (1981) ***

Dear Annie: I’m 46 years old, college edu-cated, with no children. I recently celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary. It’s not what I would call a good marriage. My husband occasionally has fits of anger and has been verbally abusive. More than eight years ago, I had a miscar-riage. My husband wanted to keep trying. He repeatedly has said that he can’t imagine a life without children. I told him that having children is not going to happen, and that if he wants a divorce over this, I won’t fight him. He is welcome to find someone else to have children with. What I did not tell him is that soon after the miscarriage, I started tak-ing birth control pills and continue to do so. I feel guilty that I might have misled him in that he may think there is a chance for children, although I would hope that at my age he would be past that. My question is: Should I tell him about the birth control? I’m not sure what it would accomplish. I’m afraid of his reaction to finding out, and di-vorce terrifies me. -- Torn Between What Is Right and What Is Safe Dear Torn: Regardless of what you may have told your husband eight years ago, if you al-lowed him to have the impression that you were willing to get pregnant again, then ob-viously, you have been dishonest. This was grossly unfair to him. But you cannot undo the past, and with your husband’s anger is-sues, we can understand why there seems no point in telling him now. But a marriage that isn’t good to begin with is not likely to get better without professional assistance. Decide whether divorce terrifies you so much that you are willing to live like this for another 40 years. Dear Annie: My husband’s sister chooses not to take turns hosting family get-togeth-ers. She has a beautiful home, but claims she does not have any “social living space.” She lives next door to her parents, so either they host, or we do it at our home. Her parents even host her children’s birthday parties. She just gets to show up. There is a lot of time, energy, planning, preparation and cost associated with having everyone over, and I feel she should recipro-cate. However, my husband and in-laws do not see this as a problem. Am I asking too much? -- Olympia, Wash. Dear Olympia: You are right that your sis-ter-in-law should reciprocate, but it doesn’t matter. She isn’t going to do it. Your choice is simply which get-togethers you host and which belong to your in-laws. If you remove your sister-in-law from the hosting equa-tion, you will be less resentful. You can cut back on the number of times you do this or ask your sister-in-law to reciprocate by cooking a dish or bringing the appetizers, but you cannot force her to open her home. Dear Annie: I want to thank “Still Suffering” for the gut-wrenching letter she wrote about being abused by her uncle. Any of us who have lived for years with the feelings of guilt and shame caused by being molested by a relative could have written that letter. When I was 10, I was molested by my old-er brother for several years. I am now in my 70s and have never fully recovered from the damage it caused. For years, I kept my filthy little secret. Last year, my brother died, and I did not go to his memorial service. Since then, I have told several family members. None of them was surprised, and all were supportive of me. Although I am over-whelmed with the love and support, I will take this scar to my grave. I hope that others who are victims of mo-lesters will seek help and speak up early and not wait for the pervert to be out of their lives forever. -- Feeling Better Now Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SERVICES GUIDEContact these business for all your service needs!

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website

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

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixty-two percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.
