FEDERAL BUDGET
Cuts concern Atamanenko BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff
MP Alex Atamanenko can’t get behind a budget that has nine times more cuts than job creation tactics, he said Thursday after the Conservative government introduced the 2012 federal budget in the House of Commons. The budget puts some 19,200 pubic servants out of work with an estimated 12,000 of those cut and the remaining positions eliminated through attrition. “It seems the government’s only job creation strategy is to facilitate super tankers and dirty oil pipelines over our most pristine land and waterways while gutting environmental assessments,” he said, referring to the government’s plans for sweeping legislative and regulatory changes to environmental assessments and over $100 million in funding to expedite resource extraction. Job stability wasn’t the only concern he had for his Southern Interior riding. The New Democrat says the government’s plan to raise the eligible age for Old Age Security from 65 to 67 will force seniors to work two years extra while denying jobs for younger workers, all while making low-income seniors in B.C. live two more years on degrading rates of social assistance.

Anesthesiologists’ dispute and shortage may impact KBRH BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff
People who have been on the wait list for surgery in the West Kootenay-Boundary could have a longer wait after April 2. Not only are the province’s specialist anesthesiologists threatening to withdraw their services to all but emergency and urgent patients after their contract expires Saturday,
the five-person department at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital will be operating at less than capacity. As a result, elective procedures and surgeries may be impacted as part of the job action because some anesthesiologists have said they will not provide support for elective surgeries. Unfortunately, job action could impact people in the
Greater Trail region, said Dr. Robert Halpenny, president and CEO of the Interior Health Authority. Patients affected by a service withdrawal have been sent letters to notify them of the possibility that their surgery may be postponed. These letters are not the formal notification of surgical cancellation, Dr. Halpenny explained. “Obviously … each anes-

A Trail business owner who looks to diversify his downtown operation said he feels like he’s being held “hostage” with hefty city parking fees. After nine years of service, Jim Berukoff, owner of Valu Office Supplies, is converting 2200 square feet of the first floor storefront on Pine Avenue from retail to professional and business office use to house an engineering firm. Based on the size of office space being converted, a city-zoning bylaw requires that four off-street parking spaces be provided for the business or office use that will most likely see people parking for longer periods of time. If this parking can’t be provided on the property, the city allows downtown owners to pay $3,000 in lieu of each off-street parking space required. For Berukoff, this means $12,000. “I believed enough in Trail’s business community and invested another $90,000 to offer a professional office space for an international company to stay in Trail,” he said in a letter recently presented to Trail council.

REGIONAL Don’t be a victim of fraud BY GORDON SIMS Crime Prevention Officer, Trail and Greater District Detachment
Here is some advice to avoid being victimized in these types of frauds. Secret Shopper Scam This scam targets people who want to work from home – moms, pensioners, people with disabilities. The initial contact usually comes by way of email from a free email account with no company named, no website, and no address or phone number.

Don’t be a victim If you place an ad on the Internet or offer an item for sale on an online auction site, never accept payment for an amount higher than the price asked. Be vigilant when you receive a cheque – whether it’s a certified cheque, traveller’s cheque, gift cheque or money order. Scammers use the names of banks, financial institutions and other entities issuing cheques.

LOCAL DEMOCRACY IN ACTION IN SALMO
Government threatens legal action over service withdrawal FROM PAGE 1 warning to anesthesiologists. Lawyers for health authorities have filed an application for an interim injunction to prevent any service withdrawal, and have also filed a civil claim that could be used against any doctor found in breach of their contract. There will be no postponements for patients needing emergency or urgent surgery. However, the situation at the KBRH grows more pressing. Three weeks ago a specialist anesthesiologist resigned from the department at KBRH, effective in mid June, and another vacancy has existed since last June, moves that will leave a vacancy of two in the five-person department this summer. But the department, along with local and regional administration in Interior Health Authority that oversees KBRH, has been successful in recruiting someone to fill the first permanent full-time position opening. Dr. Halpenny said an anesthetist from New Zealand has been recruited for the KBRH for August — meaning they will only be short one position. An active recruitment campaign is still ongoing to fill out the full complement in the department, he added. “It is my hope that by the time this individual comes, this situation will be solved between the province and the anesthesiologists,” he said. The anesthesiology department is required to provide seamless, 24-hour, seven-day-per-week coverage of elective and emergency anesthesia care to the 100,000 inhabitants of the Kootenay Boundary. In December the B.C. Anesthesiologists’ Society (BCAS) said they would start withdrawing services to all but emergency and urgent patients after their contract expired March 31 if the province did not bargain directly with the society, rather than the B.C. Medical Association. Dr. Jeff Rains, president of the BCAS, said at the time the society voted 98 per cent in favour of the move. Currently, the province has refused to negotiate directly with the society, preferring to use third-party group B.C. Medical Association (BCMA). However, months-long negotiations between the BCMA and government have been classified as “rocky at times.” At issue is a claim by anesthesiologists — who are paid a fee for service — they are the lowest paid and hardest working in Canada, while the province says they aren’t. As well, anesthesiologists say their dispute is also about recruitment, retention and shortages, while provincial Health Minister Mike de Jong claims there are vacancies across the province and there were 125 active, qualified and licensed anesthesiologists who were looking for work in B.C. The provincial government spends about $115 million a year on fees for anesthesiologists. Anesthesiologists provide services to more than 500,000 patients each year in B.C.

Salmo held its DOT Night on Monday. The purpose of the evening is to allow citizens a voice in allocating funding from the Columbia Basin Trust. With $66,000 in funding allotted to the region, the DOT Night allows organizations to present to the public their need for funding. This year there were 33 approved organizations involved that had specific projects in mind for the money. Each organization can request an amount of money they would like to receive and make a short presentation to the public. Each citizen in attendance is allocated five DOTS, which translates into $38.34. A poster representing each organization is mounted on the wall and citizens can decide how many DOTS they wish to allocate to their choice. They have the option of splitting them up or giving all five to one group.
Council rejects request to waive fee FROM PAGE 1 “Instead of being congratulated for achieving this great goal, I am now being slapped with a heavy-handed penalty.” Trail rejected Berukoff’s request to waive the fee, noting that the purpose of this parking requirement is to fund a reserve for creating future parking facilities that ultimately benefit downtown business owners. “The city’s monthly paid parking facilities have been consistently at full capacity since the parking meter rates were increased in the

lection of monies needed to pay for such a structure is of paramount importance and why the regulation was developed in the first place,” added McIsaac. Berukoff feels the time has come to abolish the bylaw, which he describes as “restrictive” and “prohibitive.” “Surely, even councillors must be well aware of changing economic times and the impact on business development in Trail,” he noted. “Because of changing times, councillors must work
towards updating restrictive bylaws in order to attract new businesses competitively and not to discourage business owners moving to Trail.” In the last 12 years, there have been only three other applications for variance made under this bylaw. Though Berukoff has to pony up the funds for the parking spaces, he has since requested to speak to council of his concerns about the bylaw itself. He is set to appear in council chambers at the next meeting in April.
Border communities impacted by budget FROM PAGE 1 He attributes the majority of the approximate $24 billion deficit, which is being whittled away through cuts, to the government’s corporate tax breaks in years past. “I think we always have to keep reminding folks about that,” he said. “They’re saying they’re scrambling for money – cutting back here and there, people are being laid off, 12,000 people will lose their jobs and have to go on unemployment insurance or scramble to try and find work somewhere – and yet we’ll have given $220 billion out of our budget to corporations who really don’t need the money.

spring of 2010,” explained city administrator Michelle McIsaac in a report to council. “Future expenditures will be required to either purchase additional property for parking development or to add infrastructure to convert areas the city has available to paid parking.” A draft revitalization plan created by the MMM Group, on behalf of the Downtown Opportunities and Action Committee, suggests a parking shortfall of over 100 stalls in the core. “In this regard, the col-

doesn’t make any sense.” The budget also shortchanges the provinces by $31 billion, he said, with unilateral changes to the funding formula for federal health transfers, opening the door wide to privatization and two-tier health care. “These are massive cuts and the provinces cannot afford it,” said Atamanenko “It is shameful that this government will balance the books on the backs of seniors who want to retire in dignity and make it a certainty that more families are left without a family doctor.” He said a shop local campaign by most small communities will suffer
now that the government will allow cross-border shoppers to bring back $200 worth of goods free of duty or taxes, an increase from just $50, and $800 for those who’ve been gone for more than 48 hours as of June 1. “That could really hurt our communities,” he said. “Our businesses in our border communities are already struggling with people heading across the line.” Atamanenko is hopeful that the Southern Interior will see some of the $105 million over two years to support forestry innovation and market development.

Teacher found not guilty in alleged sexual relationship BY ROGER KNOX Vernon Morning Star
Tears of joy and relief erupted from the accused and her supporters Thursday in Vernon Supreme Court. Deborah Louise Ashton, 47, a former Vernon elementary school teacher and vice-principal, was found not guilty on all five counts by Judge Alison Beames of having an alleged sexual relationship with a former student of hers. The relationship was alleged to have happened between 2003 and 2005, when the boy was in Grade 7 at the same elementary school as Ashton, and continued on while he attended a Vernon high school. Ashton had been charged with sexual interference of a person under 14, invitation to sexual touching under 14 and sexual assault in her first trial on the matter, which ended in February 2011 with a hung 12-person jury. This time, before Beames alone, Ashton was also facing two additional charges of sexual exploitation. She pleaded not guilty to all counts. When Beames delivered her verdict after 25 minutes Wednesday morning, Ashton broke down in tears beside her lawyer, Terry La Liberte, and her supporters erupted in cheers and ovations. Beames concluded “there is evidence in this case that Ashton and the alleged victim had a rela-
tionship that went far beyond the normal teacher-student and playercoach relationship (Ashton was the boy’s basketball coach at the Vernon elementary school they were at in Grade 7).” The judge agreed on the evidence presented that Ashton took the alleged victim – Beames referred to him as ‘the complainant’ in her submission – and a number of his friends to movies, out for food, to her house, and spent a considerable amount of time at the complainant’s home with his family. The judge also conceded that because these events happened when the boy was just 12 and 13, she could accept that his memory might be tweaked as more questions about the events were asked. However, where Beames had “fundamental and significant problems” was whether or not a sexual relationship had taken place. She admitted that the complainant and Ashton having sex “231 times,” a number produced by Ashton’s first lawyer, G. Jack Harris, “can’t be accepted or reliable.” Beames also pointed out that the complainant had no recollection of what she called “a huge and obvious tattoo” that Ashton has on her navel. Crown counsel had to prove to Beames that a sexual relationship had taken place, not that is “likely or probably happened.”

The B.C. government is rolling out a rock-themed road show to encourage young people to find training and work. The Jobfest tour has all the trappings of a concert tour, including t-shirts, souvenir drumsticks and guitar picks, and two inflatable tents that look like giant amplifiers. Stops in 50 B.C. communities will include a rock band, local community performers and speakers, with the tents serving as mobile career resource centres. “We’re going into some of the smallest communities in the province, First Nations com-

Job resources that are part of the tour include iPad apps that guide users through a four-stage questionnaire to narrow down their possible career choices, and computers to link users to a network of websites for detailed information. The tour will officially launch in Abbotsford on April 18. From there it goes to McBride, Prince George, Mackenzie, Chetwynd, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, Prophet

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - A pennypinching Conservative government is loosening the reins on Canada’s business community in a budget it says will position the country for unbridled commercial opportunity. With an eye to the long game after years of politically attractive, minority budgets, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is trimming $5.2 billion in annual federal spending scrapping the moneylosing penny in the process - while raising the age of eligibility for old age security to 67 from 65, starting a decade from now. Thursday’s federal budget, the seventh since Stephen Harper took office, is the first with an overtly protrade and resource development bent and a dearth of voter-friendly goodies. A majority mandate with three full years before the next election will do that for a conservative-minded prime minister. “We are a moderate, pragmatic government that responds to the facts as they are, and

It’s also an austerity budget, whatever the government claims. Total spending, including debt servicing charges, will rise to $276.1 billion in 201213, a marginal increase of 0.11 per cent on the current $272.9 billion envelope. Program spending is projected to rise just 2.1 per cent annually for years, effectively flatlining in real terms after inflation and population growth. “It’s going to take an awful lot of tough decisions to restrain to that degree on such a long period of time,� said Alexander. “In actual fact, it’s more fiscal restraint than we had in the ‘90s (under the former Liberal government) because in that period we had very sharp cuts followed by a rebound in spending. This time it’s going to be slow spending for many years. “It’s easy to say, extraordinarily difficult to do.�

of Commons public gallery began to chant slogans as Flaherty delivered his speech. “Where are we in your budget? This is not our budget!� they shouted before being led out by security guards. The budget’s business-friendly measures include streamlining environmental assessments to speed major resource projects think pipelines - into existence; recasting research and develop-
ment funds; tailoring the labour market, including immigration, to specific job shortages; and a focus on new free-trade deals. There’s $500 million in government largesse for venture capital, $1.1 billion in directed research and development funding, and $205 million for a one-year extension of a temporary hiring credit for small businesses. “What the budget is doing is handing off the baton from government to the private sector to carry economic growth,� said Craig Alexander, chief economist at TD Bank. The transformation will come from a shuffling of priorities, not big new spending programs. “It’s a whole bunch of little things around the edges,� said Alexander. Not so, said Greenpeace Canada, which issued a release claiming “big oil is the big winner in today’s budget.�

B.C. makes a downhill business decision
W
hen I dipped into media coverage of the B.C. government’s approval of the Jumbo Glacier Resort ski development I didn’t come across anything that surprised me. The anti-crowd was still against and the (much smaller) pro-group was still for. Twenty years to get to a decision is a remarkably long time because that means for two decades there have been too many reasons for the government in power not to give the application a go-ahead. I wonder what the current brain trust believes has changed? During my reading of the news coverage, I found myself dismissing the opinions of skiers who also call themselves environmentalists. These are the folks who drive all over hell’s halfacre to get towed upward to mountaintops, but then complain about just about anything else that has a negative environmental impact. I also decided to ignore the folks who just want another place to ski, damn the torpedoes and
full speed ahead. Still, though, I was left with plenty of questions. Why would a government that from all appearances is on shaky ground come the next election choose to pick a fight with the Ktunaxa Nation, which considers Jumbo to be sacred ground and vows to anything it takes to stop the project? Have Premier Clark and her cabinet decided its only hope lies with the urban vote, one that is more likely to ignore the obvious environmental impact of the development and to dismiss the clear (the polls I found all found Kootenay residents to be at least 65 per cent against it) sentiments of Kootenay residents? Or maybe it was just as simple as a ruling party seeing an opportunity to deepsix MLA Bill Bennett, a constant thorn in its side, for once and for all. I kept coming back to Steve Thompson, Minister of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (note the key addition of the word “operations” to the title), and his claim that his approval proves that the province is open for busi-
LORNE
ECKERSLEY This is the Life ness. Of course the province should be open for business, and to business. Without jobs the economy dies, so it’s a bit of a motherhood and apple pie argument. But should the province be open to bad business? That, I think, is the real question. I suspect demographic expert David Foote would be shaking his head in wonder. Don’t you people understand, he might ask, that the proportion of the population that is fit enough to downhill ski is declining as precipitously as the vertical drop Jumbo developers boast about? A decade ago, he was warning about the wisdom of investing in ski developments. Nothing
has changed, at least to my mind, that would make them a haven for smart money today. Add to that the climate change that seems likely to reduce the length and reliability of the traditional ski season and the result is that we are proposing to embark on a process of attracting dumb money into an extremely controversial project. There is ample evidence to suggest that a $1 billion ski development won’t do a lot for the economy, at least in the longer term. No one is going to existing ski hills in the Kootenay and Columbia region and coming home frustrated because they couldn’t get a day’s skiing in due to a lack of space on the slopes. And there is little evidence that I have found to suggest that Jumbo will draw an entirely new group of enthusiasts to the area. No, the business, at least on the ski hill, will simply come at the expense of others already in operation, and most of them have been in financial difficulty at least once in the past couple of decades. So the true net benefit to Jumbo is a gorgeous
area for people with plenty of cash to spend, who can afford to buy a high-end condo or build a second or third very expensive home, many of which will be used for no more than a handful of weeks each year. The construction phase of the project, if it really does go ahead, is likely to provide the only tangible short-term benefit — jobs and material purchases will be a boost to the local economy and the provincial coffers for a couple of years. But don’t we want a government that thinks just a little further down the road, to the day when there are the same number of skiers spending the same total number of dollars, only spread over more ski hills? Or one that sees the folly in encouraging development at the expense of ever-declining accessible areas of wilderness? The Jumbo Glacier Resort is a dumb idea that has been embraced by a desperate government that measures its future only as far as the next election.

because the more weapons there are, the greater the risk that some will fall into the hands of terrorists. So getting the number of active nuclear weapons in American and Russian hands down to 1,000 each, and dismantling all of the “reserveâ€? and stockpiled weapons, is probably Obama’s real goal. The “Global Zeroâ€? rhetoric is mainly useful for bringing the old peace movement along for the ride. (And why would they complain? The essence of any political strategy is finding partners to ride with you at least part of the way to your destination.) However, to get Russia to sign up to a mere 1,000 nuclear weapons, Obama will have to give up on ballistic missile defence. The Russians are hugely inferior to the Americans militarily by every other measure, so they cherish their nuclear parity. Effective US missile defences, if they could ever be made to work, would fatally undermine that parity. Of course they never have been made to work reliably, even though the United States has deployed them in a couple of places. But the Russians have a childlike faith in (or rather, fear of) American technological prowess, so ballistic missile defence systems have to go. Abandoning them would involve Obama in an immense battle with the Republican right, and he’s not going to start that battle in an election year. But that is what President Obama and Dmitri Medvedev, the outgoing Russian president, were really talking about in Seoul when they were caught on an open mike. Obama told Medvedev: “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this can be solved but it’s important for [incoming Russian president Vladimir Putin] to give me space. ‌ This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.â€? And so he may. Gwynne Dyer is a Londonbased independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Nanaimo couple hailed as heroes
OBITUARIES THOMPSON (NEE MOEN), DOREEN — It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Doreen Thompson. Doreen passed away peacefully on the morning of March 27, 2012 in Columbia View Lodge with family by her side. She was born on February 1, 1934 in Trail. Doreen spent her early years growing up in a large family of eleven children in Trail and Fruitvale. At the age of 21, she married the love of her life, Jim Thompson. They began their married life on a little farm just outside of Fruitvale, where they raised seven children. She loved dancing and listening to music. A devoted mother and wife, she always put her family first. Doreen watched with pride as her family expanded to include 14 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren with a few more on the way. In her later years, she enjoyed spending time at the mall with her friends, playing Keno and going on day trips with family. She was always quick to laugh, throw in a joke or sit down for a cup of coffee to chat. As her health declined, Doreen spent the last two years with caring staff and new friends at Columbia View Lodge. She was predeceased by husband Jim in 2002, greatgranddaughter Zoey in 2011, siblings Victor, Martin, Harold, Margaret, Selma, Bernie, Ruth, Calvin and her twin-sister Jaqueline.

ANIMALS
Vets say some pets geriatric at age 7 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
(AP PHOTO/BEBETO MATTHEWS)
Beth DeCaprio, executive director of the Grace Foundation, holds Beyonce, left, a Dachshund puppy vying for the title of World’s Smallest Dog, and her mom Casey, a mixed Dachsund and Chihuahua. Animal rescuers in Northern California say Beyonce was so small at birth that she could fit into a spoon.
Small dog getting big attention THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - A very tiny puppy is sitting inside a coffee mug, trying without success to escape by scratching its little paws against the slippery surface. In recent days, this famous dog has been placed alongside a variety of small objects - an iPhone, a business card and a tape measure, among other things - to demonstrate just how tiny she really is. This is Beyonce, a female dachshund mix who was born March 8 to a rescue dog that was found abandoned, wandering the streets of San Bernardino, Calif. At birth, she weighed just 1 ounce and could fit into a teaspoon. Her caretakers say she’s one of the smallest puppies ever born full-term. “We had an ultrasound done, and they actually saw that there were five puppies, but one was probably going to be stillborn,” says Beth Decaprio, executive director of the Grace Foundation of Northern California, which rehabilitates abused and neglected animals. “It didn’t look like a viable baby.” Beyonce wasn’t breathing when she was born at the foundation’s farm in El Dorado Hills, Calif. A veterinar-
ian tried to revive her by performing chest compressions. Then he passed her over to Decaprio. “I blew a couple little breaths in her mouth,” Decaprio says. “And she started to breathe on her own.” At 3 weeks old, Beyonce is now about the size of an iPhone, but she isn’t cowed by her much bigger brothers and sisters. She crawled on top of the wriggling puppies as they nursed, trying to push them out of the way. “They just consider her another sibling,” Decaprio says. “But she is a survivor, and she’s a tough little one.” Beyonce, whose caretakers wanted to give her a “big” name, is not yet up for adoption, though the foundation has received hundreds of requests from people who want to take her home. When she’s stronger the foundation will decide whether to give her away.
LOS ANGELES - Age may creep up on man, but his best friend gets there at warp speed. Going from pup to grandpup doesn’t leave much prime time under American Veterinary Medical Association labels that cats and small dogs are geriatric at seven - and large dogs at six. But not everyone agrees, and rescuers say those definitions can be a death sentence to older animals in need of homes. Dr. Emily Pointer, staff internist and medical co-ordinator at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in New York, said she considers the last third of life the sunset years. “That seems fairly crazy,” she said of the AMVA designations. “I would never consider a person in their 40s or 50s to be senior.” The AVMA said the oldest cat on record was 34, the oldest dog was 29. Forget the notion
that seven dog years equal one human year, the AVMA said. A seven-year-old dog weighing less than 50 pounds is like a 44- to 47-year-old human; 10 equals 56- to 60-yearold humans; 15 is like a 76- to 83-year-old; and 20 is like a 96- to 105-year-old human, the group said. Pet health improved in the 1950s and ‘60s when commercial dog food and vaccinations became popular and spaying and neutering increased, said Stephen Zawistowski, ASPCA executive vicepresident and science adviser. Technology has advanced and today’s owners are more willing to go the distance for their pets, Pointer said. “In the past, if your cat was diagnosed with diabetes, the recommendation was probably to euthanize the cat. Now, a lot fewer people are willing to do that because it’s a treatable disease,” Pointer said. Kristin Dewey of Los Angeles has an 18-year-
old Ragdoll cat named Cokie. He fell from an 80-foot palm tree 16 years ago and seemed OK until four years ago when something temporarily paralyzed him and left him incontinent. “Indoor-only cats that are loved and treated like family start to get old around 15 but can still live good lives until 19 or more. They may be a little creaky and have some health issues, but so do we all,” Dewey said. Pointer agreed: “Well-loved pets live longer than unloved pets.” “We find that most dogs become geriatric after age 12, and that at 12-ish they are like humans at 65,” said Judith Piper, founder and executive director of the rescue group Old Dog Haven in Lake Stevens, Wash. Most shelters consider dogs old at eight, Piper said, so Old Dog Haven works with dogs eight and up. The group tries to place the eight- to 12-year-olds they rescue from shelters and
Barker bucks up for elephants’ flight to California sanctuary THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO - Three elephants will travel from the Toronto Zoo to a sanctuary in California aboard a private plane thanks to longtime animal activist Bob Barker. The 88-year-old TV icon offered to fund the $880,000 flight after learning that one of the elephants wasn’t well enough to withstand the long trip by truck, Barker spokesman Henri Bollinger said Friday. He said the Toronto Zoo agreed to move Thika, Iringa and Toka to the Performing Animals Welfare Society elephant sanctuary in San Andreas, Calif., in the Sierra foothills southeast of

We give them a happy ending,” Black said. “It’s not so much that pets are living longer than their life expectancy, although they are, but we are taking better care of them and they are surviving longer. Sixty is the new 40 is true for pets,” said Fadra Nally, a writer and blogger. Nally figures large dogs to be old at eight and small dogs and cats old at nine or 10.

Not Good Enough!!! Ever felt this way? Not good enough? I suspect we all have at one point or another in our lives. Perhaps this was the feeling you had at home never being able to meet your parents expectations; or at school not being able to make the grade. Perhaps you (like I) have had that sinking moment when everyone else was picked for a team and you were one of the left-overs – not good enough to matter whose team you were on, so neither side picked you. Perhaps you have memories of a dance where you stood alone all night; or waiting expectantly for a phone call that never came. No matter how you experienced it, there are few worse feelings in life than feeling (somehow) you weren’t good enough, that (somehow) and in some way, you didn’t make the grade, or were lacking in some way. In the church’s calendar, this coming Sunday is Palm Sunday. It is the Sunday we remember Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. Jesus came riding on a colt and the crowds went wild with excitement. In Matthew’s gospel we read that “Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!� And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?� And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.� (Matthew 21:8-11, ESV) There was a lot of excitement in Jesus’ coming – at least for a while, a very short while as it turns out! You see, Jesus’ didn’t meet people’s expectations either! Who Jesus was, and what he
was about was not what people were interested in. The crowds were looking for a leader, a military leader. They were looking for someone they could rally around in their struggle against the Romans. So within a week, the excited cries of “Hosanna, hosannaâ€? changed to “Crucify him, crucify himâ€? as Jesus was rejected by the people in favour Barabbas, a murdering rebel held in Roman custody. Jesus just wasn’t good enough and was rejected, cruciďŹ ed on a cross between two thieves. Thankfully for us however the story does not end there, for this Jesus who was rejected and deemed not ‘good enough’ by the world was the one God used to restore our relationship with Him. Jesus Christ was God’s only Son, and Jesus died on the cross taking the punishment for all our wrongdoing so that, through Him, our relationship with God might be restored. This is Good News for us, for what it means is this: I was important enough to God, and you were important enough to God, that God did everything that needed to be done to restore our relationship with Him. In God’s eyes you are (indeed) good enough. You don’t need to get your ‘life in order’ ďŹ rst, in order for God to love you – He loves you now, and just as you are! If you haven’t done so already, know that all of heaven himself is waiting in joyful anticipation for you put your faith and trust in Christ Jesus and to receive the peace, love, joy and forgiveness God has in store for you. Know that you are good enough! Know that you are loved! Know that God welcomes you, as he welcomes us all - now and just as you are. Thanks be to God! Submitted by Rev.

The pursuit of peace
N
on-governmental organizations (NGO) play a vital role in promoting justice and in building peace. The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace, an NGO that I am familiar with, recently learned that the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) has drastically reduced its funding. From 2006-2011, CIDA contributed $44.6 million LOUISE to Development and Peace. Over the next five years, CIDA will contribute a paltry $14.5 Everyday Theology million, and has stipulated that this money can only be used in 7 of the 30 countries where the organization operates. Only 1 African country is on the CIDA list. This is shocking since the continent is plagued with problems. NGOs make an important contribution to the global community. Development and Peace, for example, works with other voluntary international agencies to promote sustainable development, to reduce poverty, to empower women, and to protect human rights in the Global South. This is the work of peace building, and it benefits all of us. I recently had the opportunity to hear Mam Sambath, the executive director of Development and Partnership in Action (DPA), a Cambodian NGO and partner with Development and Peace, speak about his organization’s successes and challenges. DPA’s work in education, natural resource management, food security, and health are helpful in understanding the important contribution that NGOs make to the global community. Some specific DPA projects include literacy training for women, building schools, and providing scholarships, especially for girls. Educating communities in proper agricultural techniques, livestock management, and fish culture secures the food supply, and increases income. Literacy and agricultural projects raise the standard of living throughout the community. The development of sustainable land projects protects the land, and honors the deep connection between indigenous people and the land. Advocacy for indigenous land rights helps communities obtain legal land titles that provide some protection against exploitation. Simple measures improve health. Water pumps, filter containers and hand washing reduce the incidence of disease. Mosquito nets protect against malaria and dengue fever. While projects improve the standard of living, it is more difficult to impact government attitudes that contribute to systemic injustice that threaten peace. Cambodia’s experience of gender inequality, illiteracy, poverty, and the exploitation of indigenous communities is a common story; so is the people’s desire to live in peace and with dignity. In my view, government funding of NGOs is taxpayer dollars well spent. NGOs effectively and efficiently pursue peace through projects that fashion a more equitable and compassionate world, where all people share in the good gifts of the earth. Without respect for the dignity and rights of all people, there can be no peace. The Canadian government continues to cut funding to humanitarian organizations. In the long run, this may contribute to sustaining conflict, rather than promoting peace.

SELKIRK COLLEGE
Local students shine in business competition CASTLEGAR –The dust has cleared after an intense contest and the best and brightest of Selkirk College’s Business Administration program have shone through as winners of the seventh Annual Business Competition. Held March 15, the Business Competition challenged first and second year business students to research and present solutions to business problems. First-year students had to come up with a marketing strategy for the Selkirk Saints hockey team, while secondyear students researched how to put on a bridal showcase. Fourteen teams of firstyear students faced off and presented their Selkirk Saints marketing campaigns through interactive displays in a tradefair format. Booths contained everything from on-screen displays to mini hockey games and a home-made Selkirk Saints computer game. A team of three judges from the local business community scored their work and
in the end, Kootenay Sports Management – Katherine Barrera, Sarah Rintoul and Rob Squires – took first place. Synergy Consulting – Brittany Horswill, Erik Martin and Lauren Zanier – came in second place and Overtime Innovations – Guy Dilena, Cameron Opperman and Shawn Reichert – scored third place. Kootenay Sports Management also won students’ choice award. “I have been judging the first-year marketing students for the past six years and students are always under a lot of pressure,” says Marketing Competition judge and Selkirk College Program Marketing Coordinator, Sharon Stoddart. “This year, students came up with some innovative ideas for marketing our Saints hockey team that can be implemented right away.” Six second-year teams competed in the Business Case Competition and presented their take on a bridal showcase scenario directly to four judges from the local
business community. While the judges said their decision was a difficult one because all the teams did very well, in the end BETS Incorporated – Todd Hoodicoff, Brielle Hwalstad, Evan Richtsfeld and Sam Thor-Larsen – took first place and students’ choice award. They were followed by BEST Consulting – Scott Jago, Teresa Mah, Erika Swanson, and Breeanne van Zanden – in second place and New-Mark – Alex Donaldson, Amanda Fulton, Lindsay Kooznetsoff and Dakota Moreau – in third place. The judges chose Brielle Hwalstad as the top student in the Business Administration program for 2012. “Compared to the previous competitions, what was most outstanding was the level of teamwork and collaboration that was demonstrated,” said the Business Case Competition judges in a statement. Program Advisor for Business Administration, Tiffany Snauwaert said this year’s competition was a bit of an experiment with the change to a trade-fair format,
but she’s pleased with the results. “It was intense and stressful for the students, but it was really good practice for their future careers in business,” says Snauwaert. “It was a very good active learning experience. It exposed them to a reallife scenario in a controlled environment. “My participation in the 2012 Business Competition was a great experience,” says first-year business administration student, Justin Sotkowy. “I think Selkirk has presented students with a great opportunity to showcase the skills they have acquired in a realistic environment.” Winning teams won certificates, tuition vouchers and cash prizes in the competition, and a number of other door prizes were handed out at the event. Selkirk College’s twoyear Diploma of Business Administration is unique in that it offers a business competition with mandatory participation for all students.
New era for East Kootenay forest industry BY BARRY COULTER A new era has begun in the East Kootenay forest industry, with the completion of Canfor’s purchase of Tembec assets in the region. On Monday, Canfor President and CEO Don Kayne visited the area to oversee the launch of that new era. “We’re thrilled to be here now,” Kayne said, in an interview in what is now the Canfor office on Cranbrook Street. “We’ve made a big commitment to the East Kootenay. We have the Radium mill here, plus Elko and Canal Flats ... overall in the south here we’ve a much bigger position than we’ve had in a long time.” The Vancouverbased forest products company announced in November, 2011, that it had reached an agreement with Tembec Industries Ltd. to take over the Elko and Canal Flats sawmills, and approximately 1.1 million cubic metres of combined Crown, private land and contract annual allowable cut. The transaction - worth about $60 million -
“There’s a heavy spruce here, it’s bigger wood, it’s white wood, there’s not a lot of beetle in this area – this region has all the things our global customers are looking for in terms of quality.” DON KAYNE
includes a long-term residual fibre supply agreement for Tembec’s Skookumchuck mill. “Overall, the industry has been through pretty tough times over the past five years,” Kayne said. “But about a year ago we started to see some optimism out there - as small as it was at the time, it was at least enough for us to make some commitments from a capital standpoint to really focus on modernizing our mills … and getting competitive with
the best sawmills in the world. “So we’ve been on that program for about a year and a half. And at the same time, we’re looking for opportunities to improve our overall fibre position and overall quality of the fibre that we have as a company. “So this opportunity came up with Tembec over the last 12 months that we been focused hard on this area.” Kayne said the quality of the fibre, or the wood itself, in the East

Kootenay is “second to none.” “You could probably use those words to describe it across Canada,” he said. “We really believe it’s some of the best fibre you’ll find absolutely anywhere. “There’s a heavy spruce here, it’s bigger wood, it’s white wood, there’s not a lot of beetle in this area this region has all the things our global customers are looking for in terms of quality.” Kayne said Canfor has focused “for many years on our customer
base and marketing side of the business in a huge way. And this fibre that we’re acquiring down here, in conjunction with what we already have up in the Peace Country and certain pockets in the Central Interior, gives us an optimum fibre quality with which to work from going forward.” Kayne also said there’s a good chance the Radium mill will open again. Right now the company is looking at how best to allocate capital resources across the region.

The garden show in Seattle provided plenty of inspiration. to attend such a show, inspiration can come from any number of other forms. Many glossy garden magazines containing plant information, garden design and many other helpful articles are available on newsstands every month. There is an endless library of hardcover and soft cover books that are available at any price point and there is something for every type of gardener out there. A stroll through nature can afford an amazing canvas of ideas. I make sure to take every opportunity to hike in every season. This allows me a very differ-
ent perceptive whether in the snows of winter amongst the fabulous fall colors or basking in the heat of a summer day or stumbling upon the newly emerging tender spring plants. Pay close attention to what Mother Nature offers in the way of trees, shrubs or small unusual plants like mushrooms and wildflowers. This often gives me the inspiration of a shape or color needed for a garden plant. I bring my camera, a sketch pad to capture these images or a notepad and pen to write down ideas not captured by my camera. Keeping a portfolio of photos, magazines
articles and written notes helps to organize these ideas. A good idea cannot be forced. It can come to you at the most unexpected moment. Even a treasure pot or funky chair can begin the inception of an idea. I have drawn my inspiration from all of these forms at one time or another and delight in putting a plan together and seeing it to its completion.

Pride fighter, one of world’s best BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
For Morgan-River Jones being the number-three-ranked amateur in the world is not as big a deal as it sounds, but for most Mixed Martial Arts observers, to achieve the high ranking in such a short time is indeed impressive. Jones first began training with Pride Gym about three years ago, and since putting on the gloves she has gone undefeated in five bouts and has risen from relative obscurity to one of the best amateur female fighters in the world in her 135pound class. “She (Jones) has developed into a great fighter in a short time,” said Pride Gym trainer Glen Kalesniko. “She has, because she is the hardest working fighter, she is disciplined and self-motivated - a trifecta for being a champion.” It didn’t take much convincing for her to cross the hall from Performance Fitness, where she had been working out, and take up kick-boxing at Pride. It was a natural progression and one that fit her perfectly. “A friend of a friend had mentioned that Glen (Kalesniko) had always kind of hoped I would find my way in there just because I looked strong and liked the kind of work ethic I had in the gym,” said Jones. “I dragged my sister to a couple free (kick-boxing) classes and I had the greatest time from the first time I was in there and I’ve just never stopped.” Jones has always been involved in sport. She grew up in Nelson, downhill skiing, dancing and sparring in a karate dojo. A self-described Type A personality, Jones is naturally driven and competitive, and the constant and unrelenting workouts became one of the more compelling elements of MMA fighting for her. “The intensity just really matched the way I liked to work out. I just picked it up really fast; the striking aspect is just something I got right away, that also helped me to keep doing it . . . I’m one of the few people that actually enjoys the whole process.” Jones beat previously undefeated Robin Woods at Caged Rage 5 in Castlegar last October and will face another undefeated and highly touted foe in Jade De Haas from Texas at this year’s Fight Night. After just five fights, Jones has developed rapidly and become accustomed to battling in the ring, but is somewhat modest when it comes to

B.V. Nitehawks come out flying in Game 2 BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

World number-three ranked amateur, Morgan-River Jones, works out at Pride Gym in Trail in preparation for AM Ford Fight Night at the Cominco Arena Apr. 14. her world amateur ranking. There are fewer female fighters, says Jones, so moving up in the rankings is not as difficult as it is for the men. However, it does have its challenges. The paradox of women’s MMA is an outstanding fighter like Jones can rapidly move up the rankings, yet it is also difficult to get the necessary matches that enable her to advance. “It’s kind of a double-edge sword in that it can be really challenging to find opponents. I’ve had so many people back out of my fights, so it can be really frustrating, but the other side to that is that there is the opportunity to move ahead a little bit faster because there’s not as much competition and your name sort of gets out there a bit faster.” A win in her upcoming battle with number-12 ranked De Haan will further solidify Jones’ status as one of the best amateur MMA fighters in the world, and there is no place she

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks came out with conviction on Thursday night, as they jumped out to a 3-1 first period lead against the Kelowna Chiefs and never looked back, skating to a 7-1 victory in Game 2 of the KIJHL final. Dallas Calvin would net the winner, counting his first of three on the night, on a power play marker at 6:07 of the first. After the Chiefs P. J. Lawler took a penalty for slashing, the Nitehhawks AP Jake Lucchini made a pretty pass to Calvin at the point who blasted it past Kelowna goalie Tyler O’Donnell to make it 2-1. The Nitehawks came out flying in the first but it was Kelowna that started the scoring at 14:47. A quick face off win in the Hawks zone set up Tre Mason who snapped it past Zach Perehudoff to put the Chiefs up 1-0. But the lead was short lived, as the Hawks Dallas Calvin skated in over the blue line cut across the front of the net drawing a defenceman and goalie before neatly sending a slick pass over to Tyler Collins who deposited in the open cage to tie it at one. “I thought we got off to a great start, even though Kelowna managed to get the first goal, I thought we responded really well with our forecheck, it was pretty relentless tonight and I thought our defensive play was top notch,” said Hawks assistant coach Jeremy Cominotto. The Nitehawks continued to press, winning every battle in the corner and executing a smothering forecheck that paid dividends. Following Calvin’s goal to make it 2-1, Nick Perez
scored his first of two on the night with just over two minutes remaining in the opening frame. Calvin carried the puck into the Chiefs end, waited and hit the trailing defenceman with a pass that Perez wired low glove-side to make it 3-1 heading into the second. The Nitehawks never let up, and were even more impressive scoring two more highlight goals, with Derochie setting up Perez for his second of the night and Lucchini making a dazzling move on a break away to make it 5-1 going into the third. “That was one of the things we talked about tonight, was showing a little more patience and maybe out waiting the goaltender a little bit more, and I thought our guys did a great job of that so far.” Calvin added two more late in the third to give him fivepoints on the night and firststar honours, while Lucchini was named second star, and Zach Perehudoff third star, making 24 saves, in another solid outing. Tyler Collins also had a goal and two assists. Mason Spear missed his second game with a shoulder injury and is uncertain for Game 3, while Brantley Shapansky is day-to-day with a sore shoulder, after laying down numerous crushing blows in the opening game. In what was arguably the best game the Nitehawks have played since the Castlegar series, they look to carry it over into Games 3 and 4 in Kelowna this weekend. “We have a lot of skill on this team and when we get the puck moving and our feet moving, magic can happen,” added Cominotto. The Nitehawks next home game will be Tuesday at 7 p.m. if necessary.

U.S. upsets Canada HAMAR, Norway – Canada’s National Sledge Team will meet the Czech Republic for the bronze medal at the 2012 IPC Sledge Hockey World Championship following a 2-1 loss to the United States in Thursday’s semifinal. In the other semifinal, Korea beat the Czech Republic 2-0 to advance to the gold medal game for the first time ever. Canada has only faced the Czech Republic once in international competition, earning a 3-0 preliminary round victory at the 2009 IPC Sledge Hockey World Championship. On Thursday, Canada got a goal from Adam Dixon (Midland, Ont.) midway through the third period to pull to within a goal but the Canadians could get no closer, falling to the Americans in the semifinals for the second consecutive world championship despite outshooting their North American rivals 16-6, including 7-0 in the final period. “We came here with the mindset of winning a world championship, so obviously we’re disappointed,” said Mike Mondin, head coach of Canada’s National Sledge Team. “But we’ve still got an opportunity to win a medal, and we’re going to make sure we’re ready for the Czechs on Sunday.” Canada finished first in Group B during the preliminary round with a 3-0 record, including wins over Italy (3-1), Korea (2-0) and Norway (4-1). In five appearances at the IPC Sledge Hockey World Championship, Canada has won two gold medals (2000, 2008) and two bronze medals.

Nestor in final Partners prepare for Olympic run
THE CANADIAN PRESS KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. - Canadian Daniel Nestor and partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus advanced to the final of the Sony Ericsson Open with a commanding 6-2, 6-4 victory over India’s Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna on Thursday.

New guidelines for children pull plug on TV THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Little children should be moving more and sitting less, according to new recommendations that are being billed as the first Canadian guidelines for physical activity and sedentary behaviour for children four and younger.

advantageous for the healthy growth and development of a child to do that.” The guidelines suggest children under one should be allowed to partake in active play several times daily - including things like tummy time, reaching and grasping and crawling. For kids aged one to four, parents should aim for three hours of activity a day. The activity can be any kind, Tremblay says, and doesn’t have to be rigorous. Walking, crawl-
ing, playing - anything but sitting. By age five, children should be spending at least an hour a day in energetic play - activities like hopping, skipping and bike riding. Over the last quarter century, the obesity rate has nearly tripled among children and youth, the pediatrics society notes in its statement. As many as 26 per cent of kids between two and 17 years are now overweight or obese, and that number jumps to 41 per cent among First Nations children.

LEISURE
Stop lying to parents about religious decision Dear Annie: I’m 20 and attending college near my parents’ home. Despite what my Catholic family wants, I’ve been exploring other religions for the past five years and have decided that Judaism is the right road for me. I want to let my family in on this process, but I’m afraid they’ll react badly and insist that my Jewish fiance is swaying my decision. My mother is starting to pick up on the fact that I haven’t been going to church with her. She has informed me that she would be greatly insulted if I became Jewish, because all those years of putting me through Catholic school would be for naught. She recently hoped loudly that eventually I would “do the right thing and come back.” I’m tired of lying when they ask where I go on Friday evenings. Help? -- At the Crossroads Dear Crossroads: There is some validity
ANNIE’S

to the claim that your fiance may be influencing your decision, but that is to be expected. Even if he isn’t making a concerted effort to convert you, his preferences and beliefs would be persuasive on their own. We respect the fact that you have spent five years considering your decision, which indicates you’ve done a great deal of thinking. But we also recognize that most of this five-year period took place while you were a teenager and quite young for such a lifechanging decision. Regardless, please stop lying to your parents. If this is the path you
have chosen, you must be able to stand up for your beliefs in the face of their disappointment. The sooner you start the more time they will have to reconcile themselves to the situation. You also can enlist the help of your rabbi. Dear Annie: I am writing this to help military families who are at home while their spouses are deployed. As a military spouse for 20 years, I am sometimes overwhelmed, exhausted and isolated. Deployments are lengthy, and training adds to the time we are separated. Life is challenging. We often encounter people who want to thank my husband for his service. I thank them for their support. But if you know of a military spouse who is alone, here are a few suggestions: Offer to babysit for free. Older children often miss out on evening events because
younger siblings need to be in bed or it’s too difficult to take them all to the event. Offer to drive the children to practices or games and supervise them. Include their children in your family outings, and give the military spouse an afternoon off. Take a meal to the family. A frozen casserole is a treat on a hectic day. Or treat them to a meal out. Anywhere. Offer to mow the lawn, wash the car, check under the hood or take a pet to the vet. Check on them when the weather is extreme. Send their spouse a letter. Call and ask what you can do to help. Please help the military by helping out military families. A little kindness goes a long way. -- A Soldier’s Spouse Anywhere Dear Soldier’s Spouse: Thank you for reminding our readers of the simple things they can do to help out our servicemen and
women and the families that stand behind them. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Old in Indiana,” the 90-yearold woman who wondered how to divide her possessions among her daughters and
daughters-in-law. Several years before my lovely mother passed away, she had all her valuables appraised. Then, in her own handwriting, she wrote who got what next to each piece. I encourage everyone to
do the same. It made a difficult time so much easier when we knew we were honoring her wishes. I consider it her final gift to us. -- Missing Mom in Maryland

LEISURE
YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Saturday, March 31, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Focus on home and domestic matters today. Discussions with a parent could be significant. You also might want to hide or relax at home today. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A busy day! Short trips, errands, reading and writing, plus increased time with siblings and relatives, will keep you on the run today. “I’m late! I’m late, for a very important date!” GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Focus on financial matters today. Stay in touch with your bank accounts. A major purchase could be something you’re considering now. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you a bit more emotional than usual. However, it also can bring you a bit of extra good luck!
Yay! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Any time spent alone, especially in beautiful surroundings, will please you. You need to have a bit of privacy just to pull your act together today. (We all need this at times.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Conversations with a female friend will be important today. You might want to confide something about your dreams for the future (or perhaps someone wants to talk to you). LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Briefly, you will catch the attention of people in authority today, so it’s good to be aware of this. You might turn this to your advantage, or not. This might be a good time to ask for something. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is quite a favorable day for you, especially with
respect to publishing, the media, higher education, medicine and the law. You’ll also enjoy travel or making travel plans. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions about taxes, debt, inheritances and shared property could be productive today. It’s good to clear up worrisome loose details if you can. (“I’m free!”)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is directly opposite your sign. (Hey, what’s a little compromise?) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Do whatever you can to get better organized. You’re also focused on your health, and would like to do something to improve it. Any ideas?
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Take some time off to play today. Watch a game, see a movie, enjoy playful activities with children. Or just goof off somehow! YOU BORN TODAY You have a fighting instinct that serves you well. You don’t give up. In fact, you like to find a comfortable theme in your life to embrace. (You like what is familiar.) Nevertheless, you are personally very original.

REGIONAL KIMBERLEY
Council talks police integration
BY CAROLYN GRANT Kimberley Bulletin
Mayor Ron McRae recently attended a meeting with senior RCMP officials around the delivery of services in Kimberley and Cranbrook. The primary discussion, McRae said, was around integration of the
Kimberley and Cranbrook detachments. “Does it truly exist?” McRae said. “The conclusion was that although the intent was an integration model, full integration has never taken place. The senior RCMP officials wanted to know where Kimberley
and Cranbrook stand on the issues.” McRae said with the recent retirement of Inspector Brian Edmondson a decision will have to be made on whether he will be replaced and under what model. Another decision looming is whether to retrofit and upgrade the
cells at the Kimberley Detachment. An alternative approval process in 2011, gave Kimberley City Council the go ahead to borrow the funds for repairs to the RCMP detachment building and redo the cells. Kimberley had been sending prisoners to Cranbrook cells.

Meanwhile, of course, Aries is the artisan of the zodiac because you love arts and crafts, and working with your hands. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Entertain at home today. Invite the gang over. This is a feel-good day that affects your home and family in a positive way. (It’s a good day for real-estate dealings as well.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Expect to meet new faces and discover new places today. Today has lots of exciting twists and turns that surely will teach you something new. Be open to this. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It’s very possible that you’ll think of ways to boost your income today. It’s also possible that you’ll see many ways to spend your income as well! Guard your possessions and money, however.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel adventurous and spontaneous today. (It’s almost as if there’s more electricity in the air.) You want to do something different, and you want to do it now! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Unexpected discoveries and research might make you leap for joy. Answers you’ve been seeking suddenly are staring at you in the face. Who knew? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Meetings in classes, gyms, coffee bars or places of work will provide a few surprises for you today. Expect the unexpected. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Feelings of independence will make you rebel against bosses and authority figures today. You want to do your own thing, and you don’t want others telling you what to do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Travel plans look exciting,
but they might have to be modified or changed in some way. This is a wonderful day to study something new or explore new territory. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A whole new spin on how shared property should be dealt with might come to you today. Alternatively, someone might do a favor for you or give you a gift when you least expect it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Relations with partners and close friends are interesting and stimulating today. Some of you are surprised by unexpected flirtations. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) New, high-tech equipment at work could be on the menu today. Others will find their work routine interrupted, but hopefully, for pleasant reasons. YOU BORN TODAY You are straightforward and sincere, and yet quite playful. People enjoy your company. Because you are wonderfully self-disciplined, many of you
skillfully master a particular technique. You set high standards for yourself. Whatever you do, you want to do it the best you possibly can. Work hard to build or construct something in your year ahead, because your rewards will follow. Birthdate of: Wangari Maathai, Nobel laureate/ environmentalist; Samuel R. Delany, author; Susan Boyle, singer. For Monday, April 2, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might get caught up in sports or partying, and go overboard today. Just remember to line up a designated driver if you need one. Be smart and have no regrets. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’ll enjoy entertaining at home today. You feel that you want to do things in a big way, serving good food and drinks. You’ll be generous to family and guests. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be careful about promises you make to others, especially siblings and relatives. Don’t bite off more than you can chew (and you can chew a lot). CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be prudent with financial matters today. If you’re fearful that you’re spending too much money on something, listen to that little voice that is a warn-
ing. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a fun-loving, happy-go-lucky day for you. The Moon is in your sign, and you want to have fun! In fact, things will tend to go your way today. Yippee! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It’s OK if you feel lazy today. Kick back and relax if you can. Everybody needs to have time off for rest and relaxation. (Even the government knows this.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re very ambitious about attaining certain goals today. If you tell others about your ideas, they might think your reach exceeds your grasp. Oh well, who knows? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Don’t promise more than you can deliver when talking to bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs today. After all, you don’t want to end up with egg on your face, do you? (Ketchup helps.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be reasonable in your travel plans today. You might be tempted to go overboard in some way. Make sure you don’t regret your decisions later. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If sharing something or deciding on how something is divided, don’t give away the farm today. It’s important that you
SATURDAY’S CROSSWORD
develop a healthy self-interest for your own protection. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Enjoy good times with partners and close friends today. People are big-hearted and generous to each other, which is gratifying. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might not feel like working today, so just do the best you can. The truth is that everyone wants to play today and put work second. YOU BORN TODAY Many of you maintain a childlike, naive view of life. However, everyone can see you are honest and sincere. You have strong family values; nevertheless, you never give up your ideals and dreams. You fantasize about the future. (You have a great imagination!) In the year ahead, a major change might occur, perhaps something as significant as what took place around 2003. Birthdate of: Hiroyuki Sakai, celebrity chef; Emmylou Harris, singer; Michael Fassbender, actor. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
