TREVOR CRAWLEYA Cranbrook man is wor-
ried about potential for flood-ing from Joseph Creek in the neighbourhood of Terra Lee after noticing the water level rising due to ice buildup.
Bill Sutherland, a property owner in Terra Lee, is frustrat-
ed about the rising levels and blames the increase on a de-cision by the city to break up the ice, which has resumed the water flow.
“This year, the city brought us more Elizabeth Lake water,” Sutherland wrote, in a letter to the city, referencing
the replacement of a culvert on Wattsville Rd. “This water/ice threatened to damage the city’s Willowbrook Drive bridge. The city’s solution was to break up the ice in front of their bridge. This is 50 feet upstream of Terra Lee prop-erty and this is why our prop-
erty was flooded. Other Jo-seph creek properties did not experience the extreme flooding conditions that im-pacted Terra Lee.
“…We have had three weeks of temperatures always below zero. We have had next to no precipitation (a few
inches of snow that remains frozen). The freezing tem-peratures mean storm sewers have not been flowing. Other Joseph Creek residents are not calling the city to report extreme flooding conditions.”
Cranbrook resident concerned about downstream creek flooding
TRE VOR CR AWLEYWith an eye on a
permanent home, the Cranbrook and District Arts Council (CDAC) has received funding that will go towards the installation of an eleva-
tor at the old Fire Hall.The funding—a
$50,000 Accessibility Grant—is one of many steps to help the old fire hall meet code for pub-lic use or access, as the CDAC plans to repur-
pose the building for a public arts and cultural centre while maintain-ing its historical integri-ty.
The CDAC, in part-nership with the city of Cranbrook, has been
working towards the restoration of the build-ing, one of only nine registered heritage buildings in town.
Built in 1929, the old fire hall was in use up until three years ago,
when the construction of a new facility was fin-ished on 2nd Street S.
The old location was briefly occupied by Cranbrook Search and Rescue and—while the city still uses a small
part of the building—much of it remains empty.
After signing an agreement with the city last spring, the CDAC received $20,000 from the Columbia Kootenay
Cultural Alliance to carry out a structural evalua-tion of the building, which resulted in the re-moval of asbestos last fall.
“We are moving right along with as much speed as these processes allow,” said Bill McColl, chair of the CDAC build-ing committee.
With the rollover of a new year, the CDAC is busy with grant applica-tions, and is currently well-positioned and has the capacity to turn the old fire hall into a cultur-al centre.

CPL. CHRIS NEWELCranbrook RCMP re-
sponded to a home inva-sion on January 23, at 11:30 p.m., in the 1300 block of 10th Street South, Cranbrook.
Two unidentified males wearing masks and brandishing blunt weap-ons forced their way into a residence demanding property from the occu-pants. The suspects fled the residence empty handed prior to the 9-1-1 call to police.
Cranbrook general duty officers, municipal traffic and auxiliary con-stables along with South-east District police dog service responded to the report but, were unable to locate the individuals re-sponsible. Cranbrook RCMP believe the sus-pects targeted the ad-dress in error.

Kootenay Orchards School’s annual Arts in the Orchards week, which just come to another successful conclusion. This activity was the invention of Brian Mackie, an art teacher who
worked at this school for six-teen years.
Recognizing that every-one can be successful at art if they find an activity that interests them, he created a school-wide celebration of
visual arts that continues to delight both students and staff.
Mixed grade groupings of children choose from many possible activities; work-shops this year included wa-
tercolour painting, scrap-booking, sock and glove cre-ations, origami, weaving, art aprons and zentangle to name just a few.
All of the teaching staff developed a project and
members of the local art community also gave freely of their time to ensure that students had a lot to choose from.
Our projects are current-ly on display throughout the
school, giving parents and the local community a chance to admire the talent and skill contained within each of our students.

“There is much work to do and we are com-mitted to see this project through to completion” said Sioban Staplin, CDAC president. “We have long held the vision of a professional gallery and cultural centre for Cranbrook.
McColl said the CDAC is the city’s best bet for a partner for the fire hall.
“We are already run-ning most of the pro-grams such a facility would present and we can do much more in a larger space,” McColl said. “In addition, as a Registered Society, we can bring major grant funds into Cranbrook and save the taxpayer money.”
The CDAC is currently in the final stages of com-pleting a comprehensive business plan that will show the Centre to be self-sustaining within a short timeframe.
“We hope to enter into a lease agreement with the City at a reasonable rate of rent. Our income projections are conserva-tive and our expense esti-mates are based on solid figures. We will be oper-ating on sound business practices,” said Staplin.
With its proximity to the downtown core, the use of the firehall will complement existing cultural spaces such as Cranbrook Spirit Square and Rotary Park.
“Along with farmer’s markets in Rotary Park, the Studio Stage Door, The Railway Museum, Summer Sounds, Key City Theatre and a pro-posed museum in the Ktunwaxa Nation Gov-ernment Building, it is
our vision to make down-town Cranbrook the place to be for arts and culture.” said Jenny Humphrey, who also serves as a building com-mittee member.
The CDAC has a long history in Cranbrook, first registering as a soci-ety under the leadership of Muriel Baxter in 1953, before being renamed and reformed in May 1973. In 2013, the CDAC celebrated its 40th anni-versary with a gala per-formance featuring many talented local artists.
Currently, the CDAC administers flow-through grants, provides office space for the Sym-phony of the Kootenays, and facilities for singers, writers and workshops. Emerging and profes-sional artists all have the opportunity to show and sell their work in the many exhibits held throughout the year.
The CDAC has assist-ed many arts and culture organizations in Cran-brook over the years and will now focus their ef-forts to become the a cul-tural hub in Cranbrook. Through advocacy, edu-cation and collaboration, President Staplin hopes to bring together and support all of our arts, culture and heritage or-ganizations and to help build their capacity.
“The cultural sector provides significant eco-nomic and social benefit to our community - pro-viding quality of life, jobs and spin-offs to many businesses in the area,” Staplin said. “The Cran-brook Cultural Centre will be a major attraction in our downtown core.”

Pointing to the culvert re-placement on Wattsville Rd., Sutherland noted that there have been repercussions downstream since the proj-ect was completed.
“Where is the Elizabeth sediment going to end up?” wrote Sutherland. “If it can plug a three foot culvert, it shouldn’t be ending up on the Joseph Creek spawning creek bed.
“…This winter Terra Lee has seen how unclogging one culvert can flood us. If the creek had risen a few more inches we would have had flooded homes at Terra Lee.”
Public Works never be-lieved that the properties were in danger of flooding in 2014 due to the flooding situ-ation ad Elizabeth Lake, ac-cording to the city.
“Wide fluctuations in tem-perature and in the types of precipitation so far this win-ter has allowed for the build-up of ice, allowing the creek to flow on top of the ice which created some potential local-ized flooding concerns for some residents, not just

It has been so mild recently that some students at Gordon Terrace Elementary have been taking advantage to play soccer outdoors on the hockey area.
In a separate incident, on January 26, at 4 pm Cranbrook RCMP re-ceived a report of a suspi-cious male in the 1000 block of 11th Avenue South, Cranbrook. The male is described in his early 20s with a goatee and was driving an older blue Honda Civic with a
‘baby on board’ sign in the rear window.
The male is reported to have been acting suspi-ciously and making inap-propriate comments to a pedestrian while driving by.
Police would like to speak to this individual regarding his behaviour.

around Terra Lee Terrace,” said city officials in a state-ment. “As it stands today, the ice levels are up to two feet above the creek bed and the water is flowing underneath the ice.
“Public Works continues to monitor the water and ice levels daily throughout the entire length of Joseph Creek as it travels through the City. City staff has engaged with the strata council at Terra
Lee Terrace about Mr. Sutherland’s concerns around the potential for flooding and we will contin-ue to be in contact with the strata council as needed.”

days. In his honour, there were celebrations around the world and in our own backyard, Cranbrook held its own special Robbie Burns Dinner. The Kimberley Cranbrook Highland Dance Association host-ed this.
Dinner was at the Heritage Inn with a splendid meal of roast beef, haggis, and mashed neeps. A scrumptious table abso-lutely full of desserts was baked and donated by the Kimberley Bak-ery. Pipe Major Jock Macdonald and the Honour Guard piped the Haggis in. Russ Kinghorn did a dramatic rendition of Burns’ Ad-dress to a Haggis, even-tually “killing the hag-gis” as is tradition.
The Master of Cere-monies Robert McCue definitely did justice to the words and spirit of the Scottish Poet often likening the Bard’s
words to modern day situations we can all learn from. Michelle Fuchs made a Toast to the Queen, while Patti and Scott Rear ex-changed barbs with first a Toast to the Lassies and then Patti’s Reply. Dinner was started with
a prayer from Pastor Bill Plant.
Dancers from the Hali Duncan and Liela Cooper Schools of High-land Dance then enter-tained the crowd. In ad-dition to the traditional dances the bonnie lass-es also performed three
different choreogra-phies.
The Kimberley Pipe Band came out to sup-port and entertain as well, engaging the din-ers with a number of sets from their talented band.
The Kimberley Cranbrook Highland Dance Association hosted Robbie Burns Night last Saturday evening at the Heritage Inn in Cranbrook. Above, Liela Cooper (second from left) and some of her dancers.

“The older I get the better I used to be.” Lee Trevino
I called her Jimmy; everyone called her Jimmy. It appears that although she was named Jean, her father, who called all youngsters Sonny Jim was, like me, not good with names; he
called his daughter Jim.The name Jimmy suited my wife as
much as she suited me; we had great times together, marvellous ad-ventures, until she gave up the ghost two years ago. I was mulling over these joy-ful days as I emptied our old four-by-four of its ac-cumulated rescue equip-ment before saying fare-well.
We had discovered this valley in 1957 and enjoyed the mountains here to the full. We also got into all sorts of ‘pickles’ on the mountain roads and thus the jumbled mass of assorted emergency equipment that I had to unload.
The thing that struck me as I hauled out the garden spade was that Jimmy never complained when we bogged down miles from the highway at some inopportune moment. She seems to have trusted me to get us out, except for that time at the head of the Wildhorse with night coming on and the bottom falling out of the ther-mometer. We had two wheels of our pick-
up in a ditch and there was no way I was going to get us out. Jimmy set off post-haste towards home and safety and I limped after her. We hoofed all the way to Fort Steele.
The other day however, when I hauled out the come-along and the yards of extra cable, I smiled at the memory.
What really amused me were the yards of re-tied knotted rope that we had used over and over in the passing years to get us
out of various predica-ments in doubtful terrain. But, eventually, I must have seen sense and purchased a hand operated come-along winch. I unravelled this plus yards more of extra cable and I recalled that time when I came un-
stuck on the Lakit road.That particular situation also involved
the axe, the rope and the rusty swede-saw that I hauled from my old pick-up.
We were headed for a walk to the Lakit Lookout late one Fall when, near the top of the road, driving on snow, the pick-up’s all four wheels spun out. I probably swore, stepped out and fell on to my tush. Under the snow it was glassy ice and the vehicle was now standing across the width of the dirt road with the front wheels perilously near the edge. We were in a serious quan-dary, a situation that took hours of hard work, lots of equipment and even more
bad language to sort out.You see, I was unable to drive the truck
and so we were forced to pull it around a full ninety degrees without having it tum-ble off the road, and this involved Jimmy clambering up snowy banks, tying the rear end to a series of suitable trees then using the newly acquired come-along to haul the beast around. Jimmy was my cheerful-ly phlegmatic aide and encouragement.
It must have consumed several hours before I dared start the motor and move gingerly back down the mountain.
Before I purchased that come-along winch we’d been marooned at the head of a logging road on the way into the Height of the Rockies and we’d crossed a dried out mud slide which, during the next few days of heavy rain became saturated.
That mud-slide became a real conun-drum. My lovely wife and I used chains, miles of ropes, logs, heaps of rock and in-credible patience to get clear. Jimmy was up and down muddy banks and digging under the wheels, pushing rocks under-neath in attempts to get traction. To this day I can remember the pair of looking at each other and laughing when we broke free. We were wet and covered in mud, yet we hugged before the long drive home.
When all four wheels broke through the rotten timbers of a wooden bridge on the way up to the Estella Mine, our inge-nuity was stretched to the extreme. But that’s another story.
Never a dull four-wheeled moment

The Lady Avs earned a split against the Capilano University Blues this past weekend. The Blues were the top team in PACWEST heading into the week-end, and also the third-ranked team in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association.
Avalanche warningLady Avs continue PACWEST push; men fall to conference cellar
Taylor rocc aSports Editor
The Lady Avalanche continued their climb up the PACWEST stand-ings this past weekend, moving to within four points of the fourth-place Vancouver Island University Mariners fol-lowing a two-game split with the Capilano Uni-versity Blues.
The Lady Avs battled past the Blues in five sets (26-24, 20-25, 17-25, 25-19, 15-10) Friday night, before falling in four sets (22-25, 16-25, 25-11, 12-25) Saturday afternoon.
“This is a team that knows they can beat anybody,” said Lady Avs coach Andrew Zurrin. “They know that if they play with enough ener-gy and stay tight as a team, there’s not one team in the league they can’t stay with.”
The Blues came into the weekend as the top team in the PACWEST standings and also held down third place in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association, so getting a win was no easy task for the hosts.
“We used 11 people on Friday to pull out the win, which is unheard of,” Zurrin said. “Usually
you put your starters on and that’s it. A lot of people contributed to a five-set victory.
“Saturday, we had al-most everybody make some kind of error that was uncharacteristic of them…It just didn’t translate to a complete game.”
Despite the loss, Zur-rin’s squad has sights set on third-place in the conference. Heading into Week 11, the Lady Avs are six points back of the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades (UFV), with the Colum-bia Bible College Bear-cats set to visit College of the Rockies this week-end.
“Anybody knows that if they don’t play their ‘A’ game [against us], they’re going to lose,” Zurrin said. “If they come in and just think it’s a win, those days are done.
“If we keep doing what we’re doing, with UFV coming in next week, we could possibly be challenging for top-three [in PACWEST].”
While the Lady Avs are targeting a top-three seat in PACWEST, things aren’t quite so rosy on
the men’s side of the court.
The men dropped back-to-back games against the Capilano University Blues this past weekend, falling into seventh-place in the PACWEST standings.
Despite playing the Blues close in 3-1 losses both Friday (25-20, 19-25, 27-29, 23-25) and Saturday (23-25, 25-23, 13-25, 18-25), the Avs were unable to make the extra push required to come out on top.
“At the end of the day, we’re making way too many unforced errors,” said Avs coach Steve Kamps. According to Kamps, his squad com-mitted 70 unforced er-rors in Friday’s loss and another 67 unforced er-rors Saturday afternoon. “You’re not going to compete [with that many unforced errors]. We’re giving teams 15 or 16 points each set that they don’t even have to earn.”
The Avs have now lost five consecutive games and eight of their previous nine outings.
“We’re trying [as a coaching staff] to illus-trate which [errors] are unacceptable and why
they’re making those and why they’re making the decisions they are,” Kamps said. “It’s frus-trating as a coaching staff when we’re asking [the players] to change and we just don’t see changes. We’re seeing the same mistakes that were happening in Sep-tember.”
Despite frustration with unforced errors, Kamps was happy with his team’s blocking and play in the middle.
The PACWEST’s fourth-place Columbia Bible College Bearcats visit College of the Rock-ies this weekend, pre-senting a challenge as Kamps’ crew tries to right the ship.
“With three weeks left in the season we have to fix things,” Kamps said. “I think the good thing is we can get things accomplished. We can change. I think we’re good enough to beat any team, but we’re running out of time.”
The Bearcats have rattled off six consecu-tive victories and re-main undefeated since the calendar rolled over to 2015.
The last time the two
teams met, the Avs earned a five-sets victo-ry Oct. 26 at Columbia Bible College.
The Lady Avs open the weekend festivities Friday night at 6 p.m., followed by the men at 8 p.m. Action gets under-way again Saturday af-ternoon at 1 p.m., with the men wrapping up the weekend at 3 p.m.

The Kimberley Dy-namiters collected two more crucial points Tuesday night in Inver-mere with a 5-2 defeat of the Columbia Valley Rockies.
The victory puts the Dynamiters three points ahead of the Creston Valley Thunder Cats for second place in the Eddie Mountain Divi-sion, though the Thun-der Cats hold one game in hand on their rivals from Kimberley.
“A lot of special teams [play] didn’t allow a lot of flow to happen,” said Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks over the phone from the team bus following the win. “I thought our power play was off. Too many shots missed the net. Just not bearing
down.”The Nitros handed
the Rockies 10 pow-er-play opportunities, including three in the first period. Despite the parade to the penalty box, the visitors took a 2-0 lead into the first in-termission, after Braden Saretsky and Jesse Wal-lace each tallied short-handed markers.
The situation didn’t improve in the second period as Sam Young cashed in on the man advantage for the hosts, cutting the Nitros lead to 2-1 early on.
Midway through the period, Wallace earned his second special-teams goal of the night with a power-play marker to re-take the two-goal advan-tage for the Nitros. It’s all the Dynamiters needed as Alex Rosolowsky pro-vided one more sec-
ond-period score to put his team up 4-1.
Wallace, a 17-year-old local Kimberley kid, has been a steady pres-ence of late, providing four goals and seven points through his pre-vious four outings.
“He’s always had a very high hockey IQ and the ability to make the right play,” Bancks said of the 5-foot-10 forward. “He’s just being himself.
“He’s being what I al-ways expected him to be -- he is a good player, a very intelligent player. Playing with Braden [Saretsky] and Jason [Richter] helps him and he’s thriving, which is nice to see. He’s where he should be. I’m not surprised to see him playing as well as he is.”
Harrison Davies tal-lied the second goal for the Rockies with 6:01 to
play in the second peri-od and Saretsky grabbed his second goal of the night late in the third period to ice the victory.
Invermere native Brody Nelson earned the start in net for the Dynamiters, returning to his hometown for the first time since a trade sent him from the Rock-ies to the Kamloops Storm in December.
Nelson turned aside 24 shots for the win.
At the other end of the rink, Jason Sandhu made 30 saves for the Rockies.
Despite the win, Bancks was not com-pletely pleased with his team’s performance early on in the game.
“Our first period [Tuesday night] was very similar to our first period [Friday night], so the concerns are still there,” Bancks said. “We turned way too many pucks over.”
After Friday’s 6-2 win over the Rockies, Bancks expressed concern re-
garding the number of turnovers his team com-mitted, particularly in the early stages of the game. After Tuesday’s re-peat performance of that same blemish, Bancks gave his players the ben-efit of the doubt, attribut-ing loose puck play to an influx of players return-ing from injury, which in turn, shakes up defen-sive pairings and places players in relatively un-familiar situations.
The turnover prob-lem will have to be re-solved sooner rather than later, as the Nitros travel to Creston to face the Thunder Cats Friday night in a critical match-up that will weigh heavi-ly into deciding second place in the Eddie Mountain Division.
Notes: Nitros F Jor-dan Roy (flu) and D Tyler Kinnon (flu) missed Tuesday’s game…F Jared Marchi (lower body) is close to returning and could dress as early as Friday at Creston Valley...

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your practical side will keep you anchored in the morning. By the afternoon, your imagination will add zest to any concept that enters your head. These two qualities tend to add to your suc-cess, though some people might find it confusing. Tonight: Meet friends for dinner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Use the morning for any heart-felt projects that you would like to complete. The afternoon could toss you into the financial realm, where you’ll gain more under-standing of a money matter. Don’t be intimidated by some-one who is more knowledgeable than you. Tonight: Your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Don’t get upset if you are dragging in the morning, be-cause you’ll be full of amazing thoughts and energy in the afternoon. Others simply will kick back and observe. Remain open-minded, even if a partner or friend seems to be some-what negative. Tonight: Out and
about. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Use the morning for meetings and important get-togethers. You could be more tired than you realize, and might need to slow down in the afternoon. Squeeze in a nap if you can. Make it OK not to be so responsive right now. To-night: Vanish into the night. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be willing to voice your opinion in a group of friends; just know that you might not be thrilled by others’ reactions. You could try to coax them to see your side; however, this type of manipula-tion has the potential to backfire. Tonight: Just be yourself. Every-thing will work out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could feel pressured, as peo-ple with different issues seem to appear around you. Your re-sponsibilities might be unusually heavy, which will force you to say “no” to a situation in which you would prefer to be involved. Try to be diplomatic. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep reaching out to someone
whom you care a lot about. You might not have the right words to describe your feelings, but don’t underestimate the impor-tance of your tone. You might need some downtime for your-self. Take it. Tonight: Grasp the big picture. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be unusually preoc-cupied with a problem involving your finances. You won’t be able to change what has happened, but you can let go of what seems to be holding you back. Commu-nication could be stifling at best. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s wishes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be fixated on one issue or project, and perhaps haven’t noticed how much time you have spent on this matter. You could be disappointed by someone else’s reaction, or vice versa. Try to be as realistic as pos-sible. Tonight: Make amends in a fun way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Where others don’t know how to resolve an issue, you’ll tap into your ingenuity. Your creativity
seems endless and right on tar-get. You could be a lot more iso-lated than you realize. Try adding more warmth to business-relat-ed conversations. Tonight: Leap into action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be taken aback by a loved one’s efforts. You also might need to express your feel-ings to this person. Your creativi-ty is often fed by your resilience. You know there is always an an-swer. Today, use that knowledge. Tonight: Time for some playful-ness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You often are not aware of how you feel, as you tend to get in-volved in others’ matters. Stop and look within. You might want to put yourself first for a change. If you aren’t feeling up to snuff, you won’t be as centered as you might like to be. Tonight: Get some beauty sleep. BORN TODAY Painter Jackson Pollock (1912), actor Alan Alda (1936), actor Elijah Woods (1981) ***
Dear Annie: My sister’s son, “Jared,” lives close to us but far from his mother. We al-ways invite them to family get-togethers, but are never sure whether they will show up. Sometimes they don’t respond, some-times they show up without responding, and sometimes they call at the last minute to say they are sick and can’t come. Jared was raised by my sister and her sec-ond husband. When my sister comes to visit Jared, his wife, “Claire,” stays in her room. She doesn’t come out to say hello or good-bye. The excuse is that she’s “not well.” My sister only comes three times a year for a couple of days because she wants to see their grandchildren. Claire does nothing for the kids. Her parents, who live with them, take care of the children. Jared’s biological father has been out of his life since he was a child. But a few years ago, a biological aunt looked up my nephew and contacted Claire. Ever since, Claire has been friendly to the bio-dad’s family, invit-ing them over and spending holidays with them. But she totally ignores our side of the family. There are periodic episodes of almost bi-zarre friendliness from Claire, and we always eagerly respond to these moments, but they are few and far between and never result in closer ties. We’ve been told that Claire has a wonder-ful, outgoing personality at work. But with us, she barely communicates. She and Jared don’t socialize with friends, either. I think Claire may suffer from depression or bipolar disease. I realize it is Jared’s place to speak up, but he’s very non-confrontational and becomes defensive. What is the best way to handle Jared and Claire? My sister just accepts the situation because she can’t do anything about it. -- Il-linois Aunt Dear Aunt: Your sister is right. When you cannot change an unpleasant situation, you need to step back, lower your expectations and let it go. Claire is rude and disrespectful, and she is nicer to the bio-family because they are less connected to Jared and there-fore less threatening to her. You certainly have reason to stop inviting them over, but if you would rather continue seeing Jared and his children, you will have to tolerate Claire. Dear Annie: My wife and I are 75, with chil-dren, grandchildren and great-grandchil-dren. We are still paying off our credit card bills from Christmas. It’s difficult for us to shop. We don’t know what they want and can’t afford much. My wife does a great job purchasing clothing and toys, but they don’t seem terribly happy to open the presents. We still have a gift in our house for one great-granddaughter be-cause her parents don’t care enough to pick it up. Of course, none of the adult grandchil-dren has ever purchased us a gift. What is a solution for people our age whose gift-buying increases every year and the recipients don’t seem to appreciate it? I told my wife that maybe we should give a donation in their name. -- Grandpa Dear Grandpa: A donation is lovely, pro-vided they don’t object to the charity you have selected. Or give each child a tin of Grandma’s special cookies or Grandpa’s favorite tea. Great-grandchildren can be “given” an evening with you, popcorn and a rented movie. Please don’t go broke trying to please kids who don’t know how to be grate-ful. Dear Annie: This is for “Uncle Joe,” the 88-year-old mentally ill uncle whose sister insists that he be invited to holiday gath-erings. The key message is: “He ruins it for everybody.” If he refuses help, leave him out and tell him why. I was 70 years old before I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression. I was put on the right medication and never looked back. It is not too late for Joe, but if he is too stubborn for treatment, leave him home. -- Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A newly discov-ered solar system — with five small rocky planets — makes ours look like a baby.
An international team of astronomers announced Tuesday that this extrasolar sys-tem is 11.2 billion years old. With the age of the universe pegged at 13.8 billion years, this is the oldest star with close-to-Earth-size planets ever found.
By comparison, our solar system is 4.5 bil-lion years old.
The five planets are smaller than Earth, with the largest about the size of Venus and the
smallest just bigger than Mercury. These planets orbit their star in less than 10 days at less than one-tenth the Earth’s distance from the sun, which makes them too close for habitation, said the University of Syd-ney’s Daniel Huber, part of the team.
“We’ve never seen anything like this - it is such an old star and the large number of small planets make it very special,” Huber said in a statement. “It is extraor-dinary that such an an-cient system of terrestri-al-sized planets formed when the universe was just starting out, at a fifth its current age.”
Lead researcher Tiago Campante of the
Astronomers find solar system more than double ours in age, with close-to-Earth-size planets
University of Birming-ham in England noted in a statement that by now knowing close-to-Earth-size planets
formed so long ago, that “could provide scope for the existence of ancient life in the galaxy.”
Campante, an aster-
oseismologist, mea-sured oscillations from the star to determine the age and size of this compact system.
NASA’s Kepler plan-et-hunting spacecraft was used to make the observations over a four-year period. Thus,
the bright sunlike star at the heart of this system is named Kepler-444. It’s in the Constellation Lyre.
The team represent-ed scientists from Eu-rope, Australia and the United States. Their findings were reported in the latest edition of the Astrophysical Jour-nal.
Kepler has discov-ered more than 1,000 confirmed exoplanets - planets outside our solar system - and near-ly 4,200 candidates since its launch in 2009 and its revitalization in last year following a breakdown in its point-ing system. It reached the 1,000-mark earlier this month.

MEXICO CITY - The number of Monarch butterflies that reached wintering grounds in Mexico has rebounded 69 per cent from last year’s lowest-on-record levels, but their num-bers remain very low, according to the World Wildlife Fund.
Last year, the Mon-archs covered only 0.67 hectares, the smallest area since record-keep-ing began in 1993.
This year, the butter-flies rebounded, to cover 1.13 hectares, ac-cording to a formal cen-sus by Mexican environ-mental authorities and scientists released Tues-day.
The butterflies are suffering from loss of milkweed habitat in the U.S., illegal logging in Mexico and climate change. Each year, the butterflies make a mi-gration from Canada to Mexico and find the same pine and fir forests to spend the winter, even though no butter-fly lives to make the round trip.
“Of course it is good news that the forest area occupied by Monarchs this season increased,” said Omar Vidal, head of the World Wildlife
Fund in Mexico. “But let*s be crystal clear, 1.13 hectares is very, very low, and it is still the second-smallest for-est surface occupied by this butterfly in 22 years of monitoring.”
At their peak in 1996, the Monarchs covered more than 18 hectares in the mountains west of Mexico City.
The butterfly popula-tion has plummeted be-fore, and then partially recovered.
But the overall ten-dency since 1993 points to a steep, progressive decline. Each time the Monarchs rebound, they do so at lower lev-els. The species is found in many countries and is not in danger of extinc-tion, but experts fear the migration could be dis-rupted if very few but-terflies make the trip.
The temperate cli-
mate of the mountains west of Mexico City nor-mally creates an ideal setting for the Mon-archs. Every fall, tens of millions of the delicate creatures fly thousands of miles to their ances-tral breeding grounds, creating clouds of but-terflies. They clump to-gether on trees, forming chandelier shapes of or-ange and black.
The migration is an inherited trait: No but-terfly lives to make the full round trip, and it is unclear how they find the route back to the same patch of forest each year. Some scien-tists suggest the butter-flies may release chemi-cals marking the migra-tory path and fear that if their numbers fall too low, the chemical traces will not be strong enough for others to fol-low.

The chance discov-ery of a misidentified fossil in a London mu-seum has led a Univer-sity of Alberta paleon-tologist to push back the date of the earliest known snake by almost 70 million years - and has kicked off his quest for the first four-legged slitherer.
“Snakes are much older and more com-plex than we thought,” said Michael Caldwell, lead author of a paper published Tuesday in the journal Nature.
Scientists say what makes a snake a snake isn’t the long, legless, wriggly body. It’s the skull.
“Snakeness has ev-erything to do with feeding strategy,” Cald-well said.
Lizards have rigid skulls that are firmly af-fixed to the rest of the skeleton. Snakes, which often need to swallow things bigger than their heads, are built differ-ently.
“The skull of a snake is a whole series of small, loosely interact-ing elements,” Caldwell explained. “The most rigid parts protect the brain case, but every-thing else slides around that in order to assist in

the characteristic snake feeding mechan-ics.”
In 2003, Caldwell and a student were ex-amining some lizard fossils from Colorado, England and Portugal in London’s Natural History Museum when he saw just that sort of skull structure.
“As I pulled the specimen out of the box and put it under the microscope ... I re-alized, ‘Wow, this thing is not just a lizard, it’s also a snake.”’
The specimen had been misidentified - not unusual in a field where samples are scarce, incomplete and often damaged.
The fossils were al-most 170 million years old, far older than any previously known snake.
And because they
show such clear snake features, there must be even older ones out there, Caldwell said. That means snakes are one of evolution’s lon-gest survivors.
“The reigning para-digm had been that they were a relatively recent innovation in the evolution of liz-ards,” he said. “Here it looks like they’re going right back to the break-up of Pangaea,” the pri-mordial superconti-nent that long ago broke up into today’s land masses.
Not much else can be said for sure about these snakes from a few pieces of skull and vertebrae. They were less than a metre long and had teeth much like a modern python’s, suggesting a similar feeding strategy.
But because the
previously oldest known snake had vesti-gial rear legs, Caldwell guesses his rediscov-ered snakes had all four.
“I’m sure these guys were four-legged. If 100 million years ago we still had hind limbs, then 70 million years before that, I can’t imagine they didn’t have four limbs. No doubt in my mind.
“Can I substantiate that? Nope, not right now. Am I looking for it? Yes, I am.
“The four-legged snake will make a great future project.”
Stay tuned, said Caldwell. There’s lots more museum collec-tions out there that are going to get a second look.
“There are some good things out there.”
