Breast cancer breakthroughThanks to a million-dollar fundraising campaign by the East Kootenay Foundation for Health, Cranbrook’s hospital is now home to a new digital mammography machine for breast cancer screenings, diagnoses and non-invasive biopsies. On Thursday, March 7, a celebration of the successful campaign was held at East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

Did the holiday season catch up to your waistline?CleanseSMART The Advanced Cleanse System CleanseSMART is an advanced cleansing and detoxification program. This two-part cleanse is also designed to stimulate the body’s seven channels of elimination but it is 4-5 times stronger than First Cleanse and more effective at eliminating constipation and improving bowel function. Part 1 contains herbs that help eliminate toxins from the organs, tissues, and blood stream. Part 2 works to enhance elimination from the colon by using magnesium hydroxide to hydrate the colon. Herbs such as cape aloe, rhubarb, and triphala work to stimulate peristalsis, which is the colon’s natural action of pushing out material.

“Since that time, she has been an impacting citizen and ambassador for the city and the area as an educator, a master gardener, an activist and an advocate for the arts,” said Sobie.

She has been or still is a part of Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook, Cranbrook in Bloom, Cranbrook and District Arts Council, Cran-brook Community For-est, Cranbrook Garden Club, the Highway 3/95 committee and a regu-lar hiking group.

“Jenny’s family should be very proud of her and what she has accomplished over the years,” said Mayor Stetski.

“She has been a real-ly important part of Cranbrook ever since she has been here.”

Cross and Gor-don-Hooker spoke as friends of Humphrey, telling stories about her personality. Cross said she good-naturedly re-fers to Humphrey as “Miss J. Marple” after the fictional British in-vestigator, and wonders if she isn’t secretly a member of MI5.

“Jenny’s tenacity and penchant for learn-ing are a few of her out-standing qualities,” said Cross.

“Our city is witness to Jenny’s passion for taking Cranbrook be-yond presentable to

beautiful.“Her enthusiasm is

infectious and her sense of humour is en-dearing.

Gordon-Hooker said Jenny is happiest spending time with her family and grandchil-dren or getting her hands dirty in the gar-den.

“She is an interesting person, a warm, kind friend and she is very involved in the com-munity in many ways,” said Gordon-Hooker.

Humphrey is one of 35 recipients of the Cranbrook Woman of the Year award, which the University Women give out every year to mark International Women’s Day, March 8.

The Regional District of East Koo-tenay has adopted its Financial Plan for the years 2013 - 2017.

The 2013 budget is $24.7 million, which represents an overall increase of $600,000 from last year. This in-cludes a number of items that are specific to certain service areas. When those items are set aside, the 2013 operating budget for services shared by most municipalities and electoral areas in the region, represents a 3.2 per cent decrease from 2012.

“The Board and staff have worked diligently to maintain service levels and keep increases to a minimum. I am pleased with the budget we’ve adopted,” says RDEK Board Chair Rob Gay.

It is important to understand that there is a difference between the numbers in the budget and the effect those numbers will have on individu-al tax rates. Residents of the RDEK will be affected differently, depending on the municipality or electoral area in which they live. On average, rural residential properties in the RDEK

will see approximately a 1.3 per cent overall increase in their tax levy.

“Unlike a municipality that has one boundary and one set of taxpay-ers, different areas of the RDEK re-quire different services and these are paid for only by the taxpayers of each specific service area,” explained Gay. “In addition, even though there may be increases in the requisition amount, new development in parts of the region will offset some of that impact on RDEK taxpayers.”

Tax calculations are expected to be complete by early-April when 2013 revised assessed values are available.

Highlights in the 2013 budget in-clude a grant for the Cranbrook Homeless Shelter, along with funding for the final closure of the old Fernie Landfill, Agricultural Plan, Columbia Valley Community Directed Funds Committee and Elk Valley Commu-nity Directed Funds Committee.

Back row, left to right: Jennifer Inglis (Cranbrook Community Theatre Society), Peter Schalk (CCTS), Cranbrook Councillor Bob Whetham, Cranbrook Councillor Sharon Cross, MP David Wilks. Front row: Bud Abbott (CCTS), Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, Lorraine Harvey (CCTS), and Mayor Wayne Stetski. In front is Lorraine Harvey’s grand-daughter.

Feds fund Studio Stage Door, COTR Also on hand at the

Studio Stage Door were Mayor Wayne Stetski, members of City Coun-cil and members from the Cranbrook Com-munity Theatre Society, who serve as stewards of the more than 100-year-old building.

“CCT is honoured to be stewards of this building,” said CCT member Jennifer Inglis. “We take that responsi-bility very seriously.”

Stetski spoke briefly of the building’s long history — “where so many of Cranbrook’s actors, dancers and musicians got their start” — and the 40-year partnership be-tween the City and CCT. “This building has a great past, and I think it has an excellent future,” Stetski said.

Peter Schalk, CCT’s project manager, ex-plained that that the funding will go towards a full renovation of the building’s front lobby. This will include retro-fitting the doors and windows, new insula-tion and gyprock, hid-ing the wiring, and making the washrooms fully accessible. Schalk added that the renova-tions will be done ac-cording to Cranbrook’s heritage standards.

Later Saturday after-noon, Yelich and Wilks

arrived at the College of the Rockies, where at a similar ceremony she announced a Federal contribution of $1.7 million for the College’s haul-truck training simulators, which will train entry-level work-ers in the mining sector. This is on top of fund-ing announcements made last week by the Province and Columbia Basin Trust of more than $1 million in sup-port for the same pro-gram.

Wednesday’s an-nouncement was for over $1.1 million in in-vestment from the gov-ernment of British Co-lumbia and Columbia Basin Trust to support the Mining Haul Truck Simulator Initiative. The Province invested $580,000, and Colum-bia Basin Trust $560,000.

“This investment will help to increase the number of skilled Ca-nadian workers avail-able to Western Cana-da’s booming mining sector,” Yelich said.

The initiative will help train a labour force that is in high demand by the local mining sec-tor. Teck Coal alone an-ticipates hiring 3,600 people in the next five years, the majority of which start as haul truck drivers.

“For the second time in two weeks, I’m speechless at this podi-um,” said Dr. Nick Ru-bidge, President and CEO of the College of

the Rockies. “A huge thank you for this tre-mendous contribution.

“In some ways the English language is in-adequate,” Rubidge added. You can only say thank you. Someone gives you a seat on a bus, you say thank you. Someone gives you $1.7 million, you can only say thank you.”

Of COTR’s five train-ing simulators, two will be located at the Cran-brook campus, two in Fernie, and one will serve as a mobile unit. Compared to training on an actual machine, simulation-based train-ing will allows students to engage in maneuvers or operational situa-tions that may be dan-gerous to perform.

“COTR anticipates that these programs will attract students from across B.C., West-ern Canada and be-yond,” Rubidge said. He added that the pro-gram will likely launch in the fall, after further consultation with in-dustry.

COTR has been working with Immer-sive Technologies, the company that devel-oped and manufactures the simulators. Ken Mc-Bride, Regional Manag-er for Western Canada for Immersive Technol-ogies, said the five sim-ulators have been deliv-ered and the installa-tion process is about to being. He said the sim-ulators are the top-of-the-line, Pro-3 model.

Letters to the editorFaith

I was sorry to learn that Reverend Yme is not content with having to rely on faith (“Sometimes I wish I didn’t have faith.” Townsman, March 8).

We all exercise faith, perhaps unwit-tingly, many times every day … whenever we ingest food, drink and medication, particularly medication, and when we climb aboard an aircraft or drive at speed on the highway. Faith is essential to ev-eryday living, more so today than ever.

Of course, this type of faith is based upon our knowledge and experience and could be called “Rational Faith”

Another form is “Blind Faith.” This is required when there is no proof or even any valid evidence for one’s belief, and this seems to be where Rev. Yme is having difficulty.

A third variety is what I call “Perverse Faith” — this is absolutely essential if one is determined to believe, despite over-whelming evidence to the contrary, that the earth is flat and only 6,000 years old, etc. As for the promise that 77 vestal vir-gins anxiously await the man who termi-nates his life in the prescribed style, I re-gard this as overload and am doing my best to avoid such a fate.

Bud AbbottCranbrook

Better headlinesI hope people of Cranbrook, the East

Kootenay and B.C. can read past the catchy headlines of the past few days to find the story that should have been front page news. It might not be as colourful or controversial, but it should have received the attention it deserved.

The B.C. Government put forward a balanced budget and on March 5 it passed a crucial vote in the Legislature. This is exactly what we should expect and de-mand of our government — a fiscally re-sponsible way of doing business. I run a business in Cranbrook, and like you I

manage a household budget. I make the tough but responsible choices I have to make to ensure I’m not going into debt, that I’m not leaving my two sons with a financial burden. I don’t accept anything less from the government which is man-aging my tax dollars.

Look next door to Alberta where the government is set to announce a huge budget deficit, or to Ontario, where they are staring at a $10 billion deficit. Matters are even worse in the U.S. and Europe. Every province in Canada except for B.C. and Saskatchewan are running deficits. Meanwhile, our B.C. government has made the tough choices and are looking at surpluses for the next three years. Not only that, we’re onew of only two provinces in the country to have a AAA credit rating. Governments don’t get an AAA credit rat-ing from the international financial com-munity unless they believe the govern-ment.

We’re actually doing quite well here in B.C., compared to the rest of the world. A balanced budget gives me the comfort and confidence that the future looks pret-ty good for my kids, my business and my community. On May 14, I’m not making a choice that will put that future at risk. After all, government is here to stay; bet-ter to choose the one that will balance the books than one that will run us into debt.

Kurt SwansonCranbrook

ManagementDespite claiming to be prudent finan-

cial managers, our ‘’free enterprise’’ gov-ernments in the US.. and Canada obvi-ously have little concern for running up huge debts. The U.S. owes trillions, while our federal debt is now $605 billion, cost-ing us $58 million every day. Our B.C. debt is now over $60 billion, and costing us $5.6 million every day. It appears we have much to learn  from the successful “Social Democratic” Scandinavian gov-ernments, where things are good, with

fiscallyb responsible and open. honest governments.

During the early 1990s, despite a reces-sion, and little demand for our exports, an  NDP government in BC continued to pro-vide and even improve all social pro-grams. With an improving demand for our raw materials, by 1999 the province had $1.56 billion in cash, and the largest ever payment made on our provincial debt. Two successive surplus budgets were working. BC Hydro, was thriving, providing the lowest electrical rates in the world, with a 10 year freeze on rates. ICBC, with no rate increases, was giving us Canada’s lowest auto insurance. BC Rail, another successful crown corpora-tion, was consistently making large annu-al profits. In 2000, with only 35 per cent of BC citizens voting, we elected the Liberals and drastic changes immediately oc-curred. Huge tax reductions for their sup-porters, the wealthy, big business, rich corporations and banks, resulted in an immediate record $1.8 billion dollars deficit, followed by similar large deficits for 11 of 13 years.

These years resulted in government getting less money than needed to govern efficiently. The new HST tax, favoring big business, with a $1.6 billion Ottawa grant, was imposed, and all of our once healthy social services were cut to the bone. BC Rail was sold off, BC Hydro has been pil-laged of over $7 billion, and given a $11 billion debt. ICBC also had to fork over millions. Despite increasing all service charges, and the HST,  our provincial debt  ballooned to over $ 60 billion .

With an election set for May 14, it is hoped more than 35 per cent of voters participate. We now must pay over $300 million dollars, each year for five years, for the $1.6 billion HST debt , get our  $60 billion debt under control, repair BC Hy-dro’s finances, if possible, and improve all of our social programs. This will take years of sound financial management. Can this happen?

The Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA) in-vites members of the arts, cul-ture and heritage community in the Columbia Basin to join its volunteer Steering Com-mittee.

The CKCA is a representa-tive body of the arts, culture and heritage communities across the Basin, and manag-es and administers arts, cul-ture, and heritage funding programs on behalf of Co-lumbia Basin Trust (CBT).

The CKCA Steering Com-mittee consists of 14 mem-bers: six from the West Koote-nay, five from the East Koote-nay, one from the Valemount area and two from the Heri-tage sector.

CKCA represents all the disciplines in the arts (visual art, music, theatre, dance, film/video and literary arts), culture and heritage; there-

fore, it is important to provide broad representation on the Steering Committee. CKCA is particularly interested in new members that represent youth or cultural diversity.

Steering Committee mem-bers are elected for two-year terms and represent the broader needs of arts, culture and heritage sectors in the Basin rather than individual arts councils or heritage orga-nizations, or the communities in which they live.

Nominees to the Steering Committee must have a strong background in arts, culture or heritage, should have experience in working on boards/committees and must understand the needs and issues of the sector in order to develop funding pro-grams/policies and adjudi-cate proposals. Members are expected to attend at least two meetings per year in vari-

ous locations in the Basin.Nominees to the CKCA

Steering Committee do not have to be members of any organizations, but must be nominated by their local community arts councils or by the Heritage Federation of South East BC (HFSEBC).

Each eligible arts council may put forward only one nomination. If there are more arts council nominees in each region than seats available on the Steering Committee, re-gional elections will be held in the beginning of April. The HFSEBC may put forward one nomination this year. The HF-SEBC nominee will be elected at its annual AGM. It is rec-ommended that nominees (if elected) will be willing to at-tend occasional arts council or HFSEBC meetings to stay in touch with local/sector is-sues.

Currently, community arts

councils eligible for nominat-ing representatives to the Steering Committee are:

West Kootenay: Arrow Lakes (Nakusp Area), Nelson, Revelstoke, Rossland, Salmo (including Ymir), Slocan Val-ley (as far as Slocan) and Slo-can Lake (Silverton/New Denver)

East Kootenay: Cranbrook, Fernie, Columbia Valley, Kimberley, and Sparwood and District.

All other communities/sectors currently have a sit-ting Steering Committee member.

For more information on the nomination process, please contact your local arts council or call CKCA at 1-877-505-7355. For more informa-tion on CKCA, please visit w w w . b a s i n c u l t u r e . c o m . Deadline for arts council nominations is 5 p.m., Tues-day, April 2, 2013.

Some fancy-dancy public-policy think-tank just released a brand-new study that speculates the legion of aging baby boom-ers will permanently redefine retirement. Mainly because so few of us will be able to afford to retire. “Uh, lady, you want lids on these?” Fast-food break rooms equipped with CPR pad-dles. A forest of tennis ball-footed walkers leaning against the brooms and mops by the back door. In-tra-generational minimum wage squabbles: “Hey you punks, get your greasy hot apple pie holes off my oxygen tank.”

One of the optimum ways our demo-graphic bulge can beneficently alter old age is by changing what we call it. Getting rid of some of the odious appellations for senior citizenry would take a huge amount of the quease out of approaching antiquity. What we need is a calamari for the squid. Everybody loves extreme, how ‘bout from now on we refer to the ever-encroaching condition as Extreme Maturity?

No sense belaboring the negative as-pects of the path. We are all too cognizant of its passage being one way and ever dark-

ening. Just as easy to focus on the upside. We are not old. We are vintage. Classic. Enduring. Established. Persistent. Time-tested. Seasoned. Steadfast. Stable. Durable. Reputable. Reliable. Rare. Repos-

itories of uber experience. Acute ambulatory aggre-gates of accomplishment. And laughing in the face of it all, we adamantly contin-ue to buy green bananas and timeshares.

Our motor skills may have declined through oxi-

dation, and perhaps we’re not as quick to dodge trouble as we once were; but on the other hand, we’ve gained the hard-won ability to recognize trouble’s approach and can, most times, steer clear of it well in advance. And since we’re on a mini-roll here, what say we trot out a couple more examples of the BRIGHT SIDES OF EX-TREME MATURITY.

• Can always claim the batteries in your hearing aid are shorting out. Even when you’re not wearing a hearing aid.

• Those creaks in your bones tend to keep you alert while driving.

• You don’t really EVER expect anybody to tell you the actual truth anymore.

• Much less peer pressure. And it di-minishes every day.

• On spy missions, those liver spots pro-vide perfect cover to hide microdots.

• Just saying “irritable bowel syndrome” annoys young people so much that they go away. With alacrity.

• Who on earth wouldn’t want to have their living assisted?

• Only need nine books in your library. Read them in order, alphabetically, then start over.

• Pretty much any cane you wield can be set on “stun.”

• Getting up to pee three times a night turns out to be a very effective means of home security.

• Still doing drugs, only now there’s a co-pay.

• The mantra “Don’t trust anybody over 30” still applies and now includes your kids.

And finally, a last example of one of the Bright Sides of Extreme Maturity: in a pinch, those nipple rings can double as belt loops.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The U.S. division sent crushed ice back into Canada, as Kootenay re-turned from a winless two-game trip into Washington state over the weekend.

The Tri-City Ameri-cans outscored the Ice in the third period to win 6-4 on Friday, while the Spokane Chiefs pulled ahead with four goals in the final frame for a 6-3 victory the fol-lowing night.

Brock Montgomery and Sam Reinhart ex-tended their point streak to four games, while Jaedon Deschene-au has points over the last five games.

Blake Gal scored a pair of goals in the final period to lift the Chiefs to a 6-3 win over the Ice on Saturday.

Kootenay managed to tie up the game in the third period, but Gal’s markers, along with scoring from Mitch Holmberg and Alessio Bertaggia, sealed the

deal.“We came out, we

scored the goal to tie the game and then instead of buttoning things up and having more atten-tion to detail, we kind of went the other direc-tion,” said Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel.

Jason Fram put Spo-kane in the lead on a powerplay goal roughly seven minutes into the opening period.

Brock Montgomery, who is second in the league for powerplay goals, scored his 18th goal with the man ad-vantage and 30th of the season to pull the Ice even in the second peri-od.

Brendan Kichton answered back five minutes later to regain the one-goal lead for the Chiefs.

Both teams com-bined for six goals in the final frame.

Descheneau struck first for the Ice, which tied up the affair, before Holmberg tallied two minutes later to regain

the lead, with Gal’s first soon after that to estab-lish a two-goal lead.

Descheneau found the back of the net again to chip away at the deficit, but Gal re-sponded less than a minute afterwards, while Bertaggia added an empty netter.

Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski made 35 saves, while Eric Williams made 27 stops on the opposite end of the arena.

Kootenay converted once in two opportuni-ties with the man-ad-vantage, while the Chiefs capitalized once in three of their own.

The result wasn’t much different the

night before, as the Americans downed the Ice 6-4 by outscoring Kootenay in the final frame.

“In the Tri-City game, we came out and the first ten minutes was really good, but then we had those men-tal lapses,” said Kletzel.

Kootenay roared ahead with a two goal lead after the halfway mark of the opening pe-riod on a pair of goals from Collin Shirley and Montgomery.

However, Tri-City answered back from Parker Bowles and Brian Williams within a six-second spread be-tween each goal to pull things even by the end of the frame.

Sam Reinhart put the Ice in the lead less than a minute into the second period, howev-er, Connor Rankin, re-sponded to pull every-thing back to a tie after 40 minutes.

Marc Messier broke the deadlock 17 sec-onds into the third peri-

od, and Rankin added another for a two-goal lead late in the game.

Descheneau scored within the final two minutes, but Rankin sealed it up for the Americans with a emp-ty-net goal.

Skapski made 25 saves for Kootenay, while Troy Trombley made 33 stops for the Americans.

Kootenay managed to stay out of the sin bin for the entire game, while Tri-City was whis-tled for two minor pen-alties, giving up one goal to the Ice.

Due to injuries to forwards Zach McPhee (upper body) and Levi Cable (lower body), the Ice are calling up Hud-son Elynuik, the third round pick in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft.

Elynuik, a native of Calgary, is currently playing midget AAA with the Calgary Flames in the Alberta Midget Hockey League and will be with the Ice for the week.

Ghostriders one game away from elimination

The Fernie Ghostriders are staring into the abyss with a 3-1 series deficit against the Golden Rockets for the Eddie Mountain divisional crown in the KIJHL playoffs.

The Rockets swept the Kimberley Dynamiters in the first round, and have gone on to take three wins in four games against the Ghostriders.

Fernie won the second game of the series by a score of 3-1 to tie things up at one, however, the Rockets have had two straight victories, and need only one more to close out out the round.

The winner will face either the Castlegar Rebels or the Beaver Valley Nitehawks for the Kootenay Conference title. The Rebels lead the series 3-2 against the Nitehawks.

Coach of paralyzed Swiss hockey player speaks

Swiss hockey player Ronny Keller has been para-lyzed by his injuries sustained from a check that sent him head first into the boards during a playoff game, according to doctors.

The Olten defenceman was heading to the cor-ner in a footrace for the puck with a Langenthal forward Sefan Schynder, when he went headfirst into the boards.

Michael Baumberger, a doctor with the Swiss Paraplegic Centre, said Keller sustained “perma-nent spinal paralysis” but not permanent head or brain injuries.

HC Olten is led by Kimberley native Scott Beattie, who played for years in European hockey leagues before getting into coaching with the Kimberley Dynamiters, as well as the Kootenay Ice and Tri-City Americans at the WHL level.

“There’s just absolutely no place in the game for contact from behind,” Beattie told the National Post. “Players have got to start to realize that.”

HC Olten, which won the game in overtime after Keller was taken off on a stretcher, has decided to continue their playoff run, according to Beattie.

“I just said, ‘it’s in your hands, you guys decide — take some time and discuss it amongst your-selves, and there’s no shame in not wanting to play,’” Beattie said. “Some guys expressed that during the meeting, letting out their emotions, saying they didn’t know how they could play.

“…They decided that they wanted to play. They felt that would be the best for everybody’s psyche. And that’s how they wanted to handle it.”

Woods picks up tournament title in Florida

DORAL, Fla. — That red shirt is starting to look ruthless on Sunday again.

One year after Tiger Woods hobbled off the Blue Monster, he picked up the pace in his march to the Masters. Woods delivered two quick birdies to take the drama out of Doral, and two late bogeys only made his victory in the Cadillac Championship seem closer than it really was.

Woods had full control of his game and never let anyone get closer than three shots until he had locked up his 17th World Golf Championship title. With a conservative bogey that didn’t matter on the final hole, he closed with a 1-under 71.

For the first time in five years, Woods has two wins before the Masters.

And both of them were dominant.“That’s how I know I can play,’’ Woods said.

“That’s the thing. To be able to bring it out a couple times so far this year—and then be able to close and get the Ws on top of that—that’s nice. Any time I can win prior to Augusta, it always feels good.’’

Jacobs beats Stoughton to win the BrierDONNA SPENCER

Canadian Press

EDMONTON — Brad Jacobs wasn’t born yet when Northern On-tario last won a Canadi-an men’s curling cham-pionship.

He arrived a few weeks after Al (The Ice-man) Hackner stole a point in an extra end to beat Alberta’s Pat Ryan in 1985.

Twenty-eight years later, Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie team conquered a tough field at the 2013 Tim Hortons Brier and defeated Man-itoba’s Jeff Stoughton 11-4 in Sunday’s final to win the Canadian title.

“It’s been too long since Northern Ontar-io’s held that Tankard,’’ Jacobs said, his voice shaking. “To bring this back to Northern Ontar-io, to Sault Ste. Marie, it means the world to us.’’

Jacobs, third Ryan Fry, second E.J. Harn-den and lead Ryan Har-nden will represent Canada at the Ford World Men’s Curling Championship from

March 30 to April 7.It’s the first Canadian

men’s title for all four curlers. At 27, Jacobs is the youngest skip to win the Brier since Kevin Martin in 1991 at age 24.

“I don’t even know how to feel right now,’’ Jacobs said. “It’s really overwhelming what’s going on.’’

Three-time Canadi-an champion Stoughton had the hammer in the first end, but Manitoba started cold. Northern Ontario jumped all over their mistakes with a steal of two points in the first end and another single in the second.

Jacobs chipped out a Stoughton stone with a high-risk, high-reward shot in the fourth to score three and lead 6-2. Northern Ontario has the hitting game to de-fend a lead and did so.

“When you get a little bit behind, you’ve got to make some really good shots and it just doesn’t happen, it’s disappoint-ing,’’ Stoughton said. “I’m disappointed just because the crowd came

here to see a great game and we certainly didn’t give them a great game.’’

The Jacobs team was considered a dark horse contender in this Brier field behind the more established curling heavyweights of Stough-ton, defending Canadi-an and world champion Glenn Howard of Ontar-io and Alberta’s Martin, a four-time champion.

Jacobs skipped Northern Ontario to third in his debut as a skip in 2010. He and his cousins the Harnden brothers finished just outside playoffs the past two years at the Canadi-an championships.

Jacobs and the Harn-dens were gaining expe-rience against elite com-petition, but because of their youth — all are

under 30 — the Jacobs team was considered an up-and-coming unit.

The addition of Fry at third a year prior to this season took the team to another level. The Win-nipeg-born Fry was Stoughton’s second at the 2007 Brier and also played second and third for Brad Gushue at four previous Canadian championships.

PHOENIX — Canada slipped on the edge of history, giving up a late lead and falling 9-4 to the United States on Sunday in a must-win game that eliminated the team from the World Baseball Classic.

Down 3-2 in the eighth inning, Adam Jones hit a two-run dou-ble off reliever Jim Hen-derson to give the U.S. its first lead of the game be-

fore Shane Victorino scored Jones on a single for a 5-3 lead.

Jonathan Lucroy added an insurance RBI and Eric Hosmer hit a three-run double off Ca-nadian closer John Ax-ford in the ninth that put the result beyond doubt.

Canada had pulled to within one after Adam Loewen hit a bases-load-ed RBI in the bottom of the eighth inning, but pinch hitter Tim Smith grounded out to end the

inning and ultimately Canada’s tournament.

``We played a tough game and obviously the U.S. came out on top, but we’re holding our heads high,’’ said Canadian outfielder Michael Saun-ders. ``We came to this tournament prepared and we felt like we played well. A few innings didn’t go our way, but I think we played well and I think we showed the world that Canada is here to stay.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Take some time to reflect on an important decision. You might have mixed feelings when someone comes to you and shares a personal matter. Think carefully before you react. You are about to greet a new begin-ning in your life; embrace it pos-itively. Tonight: Get some zzz’s. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A meeting could indirectly trig-ger a decision that points to a new path. You might find that others seem unusually support-ive. Don’t be surprised if you re-ceive a touching compliment or two. Conversations will go in the direction you choose. Tonight: Meet up with pals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A long-desired fresh start finally becomes possible. You might care a lot about a superior or a parent and want to share your feelings with this person. Op-portunities will arise -- most likely involving your work -- be-cause of your positive energy. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to your sixth sense when dealing with a friend or loved one. Talk to someone you re-spect to get feedback about a decision. The more information you have, the surer you will be about the course you want to take. Tonight: Let your imagina-tion lead the way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Deal with others directly on matters involving money and/or relationships. New begin-nings become possible when brainstorming with others. You even might reverse a stance and approach a matter quite differently as a result. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others come forward and have a lot to share. Don’t think that someone’s decision is a given, if it involves you. Lighten up about a change. A new beginning will become possible if you do. In-dulge a loved one -- he or she will appreciate the attention. Tonight: Go with the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Recognize that a loved one

might have a lot going on right now. Do your best to chip in and help, yet honor your limits. Be clear about what you expect from someone. If you want to proceed with some offbeat diet, check in with your doctor first. Tonight: Time to relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your solutions, though perhaps dynamic and workable, might evoke trepidation in someone. You have the ability to help this person work through his or her fear of risk-taking. He or she will be grateful for your efforts. To-night: Let your imagination rock and roll. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Stay close to home if possible. You might want to instrument a change in your household, or maybe you just need some more downtime. Someone genuinely admires your work ethic. You can’t replace this person’s appre-ciation for your efforts. Tonight: Happy at home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Verbalize your wishes in such a way that others will “get” your message. You might decide to

take a workshop to improve your communication style -- not because you have a problem, but because you care about others. Tonight: Chat over a meal and clear up a problem. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Follow a suggestion involving your budget. Buy a token of affection or a card for a loved one. You don’t need a reason. Be open to approaching a financial situation in a new way, especial-ly if what you are doing now is not working. Tonight: Hold off on making a purchase. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You express unusual grace and caring. Use this gift well to clear up an awkward situation. Reso-lutions and commitments made today are likely to succeed. Start a diet, or choose a different area that you would like to transform. Tonight: Respond to a friend’s re-quest for help. BORN TODAY Media mogul Rupert Murdoch (1931), film director Peter Borg (1962), lawyer David Boies (1941) ***

Dear Annie: My husband hoards cars and is too lazy to fix them. Now he is lying about money, saying, “Oh, this is set aside to fix the cars.” But I know he is frittering it away and wasting his time. He always has excuses about why he can’t fix the cars, but if that’s the case, why hang on to them? We have more than 10 cars on our lot, and only one is really drivable. Another is a col-lectible that he doesn’t like to get dirty. The rest are wrecks. He acts as if the drivable ve-hicle belongs to him, but he bought it for me when I graduated college as a replacement for one that was stolen. He drives it every day, and I have to beg to use it. I have lost my mobility and independence, and he doesn’t care. I work full time and bring in a decent in-come. He is retired and watches videos and putters around on the computer. I am angry and tired of his lies. If he really wanted to fix the cars, he would. I am sick of all of the ex-cuses and lies. Why doesn’t he do something about these wrecks? Some have been sitting there for 20 years. -- Frustrated in Northern New York Dear Frustrated: Somewhere in the back of his head, your husband believes he will get around to fixing these cars. He is reluctant to part with them, because it means giving up that little fantasy. The wrecks may be annoying but are not critical to your mar-riage. Taking the only usable car, however, is a problem. Can you afford another car? If so, get one for yourself. If not, stop begging. Tell your husband the car belongs to you and you intend to use it to get to work and run er-rands. Maybe it will give him some incentive to deal with the wrecks. Dear Annie: My husband and I love our youngest daughter and have always been proud of her accomplishments. However, now in her late 40s, she has become in-volved with a religious group that does not celebrate birthdays or holidays. Over Christmas, I sent out some email greetings to my list of friends, and she was included. She called, outraged, and I was forced to admit that I do not believe as she does. Now, I don’t hear from her anymore. What can I do? -- Blue Christmas Dear Blue: Not much. Your daughter’s lack of tolerance is not unusual for someone who has adopted new religious beliefs. Please try to stay in touch. Send her letters or emails letting her know you miss her and keeping her up to date on family news. Do not men-tion her religion or yours or the argument you had. We hope, over time, her stringent position will mellow a bit and she will con-tact you again. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Mid-west Cook,” who is appalled when other people’s children say they “don’t like” what she’s serving. She says her own children will happily eat anything besides sauerkraut and Brussels sprouts. It seems unfair to me to acknowledge her own children’s food biases, but assume that any other child’s preferences are a result of being pampered. Manners, like saying “no, thank you,” can be taught, but some people simply cannot eat the way others do. If “Midwest Cook” will be regularly enter-taining others’ children, she might ask in advance whether they have things they can’t (or won’t) eat. This would save her guests, even the children, the awkwardness of of-fending the hosts by declining food. -- No Fish, Please Dear No Fish: Unless there are serious al-lergies, it is unreasonable to expect hosts to cater to individual tastes. A good host will provide enough variety that no one goes hungry. A good guest will find something to nibble on without complaint.
