City adopts financial plan
Donations help food banks meet growing demand BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER
Trail taxes inch up 2.16 per cent

A man stepped slowly through the doorway of the Trail United Church food bank and looked around. He was older, with thick, workmanlike hands, and stood straight and tall despite his age. A food bank volunteer approached him and asked him how he was doing and he grunted his reply. Pulling out a plastic shopping bag he pointed to the shelving lined with tin cans of food, bags of coffee, sugar and boxes of pasta, as the woman began to take items off the shelf to fill his outstretched bag. He didn’t seem like the stereotypical food bank client: his appearance portraying a clean shaven, well groomed, capable man who had worked all of his life, made his own way, paid his own way. But there is no such thing as a stereotypical recipient, said St. Andrew Anglican Church priest Neil Elliot, whose church also runs a food bank. “People have this idea of what food bank recipients are and it is so not true,” he said. “People, for a whole range of different reasons, use a food bank … and they are generally the working poor.” They are the people who are working minimum wage jobs and have families, some people are retired and their pensions don’t make ends meet, while others have health problems that limit their abilTIMOTHY SCHAFER PHOTO ity to work full time.

The bill is now complete. With the city budget finally signed off on after nearly five months of deliberation, taxpayers in Trail will be paying 2.16 per cent more this year for their services, or around $43 more on the average home. City council voted Monday night to adopt its five-year financial plan, thereby increasing the cost to own property in the Silver City. The average taxpayer will now be on the hook for around $1,244.99 in property taxes based on an average 2012 home assessment of $184,540, and including the $770 homeowners grant “That’s pretty marginal and in keeping with what we have been seeing around the province,” councillor Kevin Jolly told council in his general government financial report. In breaking down the municipal tax bill, flat and parcel taxes — any designated area of land that does not include a highway — did not increase in 2012, while general municipal taxes rose by 3.18 per cent ($20.48) to an average of $944.29. Of the $8.53 million the city will be keeping for its general capital fund, the largest chunk will be used for parks and recreation ($3.585 million), with $3.25 million going to transportation. General government ($823,200) and land purchases ($625,000), as well as protective services ($147,000) and public health and welfare ($105,000) round out the general expenditure line items. Utility capital funds total $2.03 million for 2012, with $1.67 million being relegated to water system improvements, and $565,000 doing the same duty for the sewer system. The revenue sources rely largely on property value taxes — 52.62 per cent — with user fees and charges (16.78 per cent), other sources (16.48 per cent), proceeds from borrowing for capital projects (11.47 per cent) and parcel taxes (2.65 per cent) filling out the remainder. Further afield On the regional district side of the ledger, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary will be asking for 2.67 per cent more, or $494.53, for the six functions, sewer service and other aspects it provides to the city. That brings total local taxes in Trail to $1,438.82. Requisitions from school and other government taxes — Municipal Finance Authority, the B.C. Assessment Authority and regional

Doubles made by doubling over and not doubling under; 2. A double made by your partner when you have already told him your hand (1NT or a pre-empt does this); 3. A double after one’s partner has already answered (by a bid not a pass) a takeout double; 4. A double made

LOCAL Telus addresses smart Donation helps bring food banks together phone demands FROM PAGE 1
BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff
The growing trend of smart phones has triggered a response from Telus. The residents of Trail can expect to see a $700,000 cash injection aimed at increasing the speed and reliability of wireless Internet services to aid the demands of smart phones. This investment could be viewed as part of an ongoing financial contribution to the area to address customer concerns, namely the hit or miss cell phone service that plagues residents in Greater Trail. “Think of it like this, if you’ve got a highway that’s three lanes wide,” said Shawn Hall, Telus Media Relations, “and traffic is getting congested you can add more lanes—essentially we’re adding more lanes so that there’s more room for the increased traffic on our wireless infrastruc-
ture.” Telus expects to add more antennas to the telephone poles that currently exist in Trail. Previously, Telus added a separate contribution of $250,000 as a response to complaints about cell phone reception near Waneta Plaza, the Trail Airport and the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital. “Telus’ $700,000 investment will enhance our world-class wireless network and improve Internet speeds for business and households right here in Trail,” said Steve Jenkins, general manager of customer solutions for the community for Telus in a recent press release. An average of $650,000 will be donated to many rural communities located throughout the province, including places like Appledale, Boswell, Christina Lake, Thrums and Trout Lake.
HOT TIMES IN THE CITY
In the early 1980s the United Church began running a food bank program through Central School in conjunction with the school’s lunch program, the first one in the province outside of Vancouver. When the school closed a few years later, the city’s first church food bank was set up in the church’s basement, operating every Tuesday, three times per month. Around 1990 the Anglican Church began a once-per-month program on Tuesday, covering the week the United Church did not operate. Along with the Salvation Army’s long-standing food bank program, the donation has done more just bolster food stocks in the city, said Elliot. “This donation from Teck has been very helpful in bringing our food banks together, especially in bringing the Salvation Army food banks alongside us,” he said.

hospital — rose by 9.4 per cent, pushing the average bill before the homeowner grant to $2,014.99. The rural homeowner grant remains unchanged and, for those that qualify, they will receive a grant or reduction in taxes of $770 if under age 65 and $1,045 if over 65. Nearly two thirds of the city’s assessed property values remain major industry, with 62.5 per cent of the municipal property taxes in 2012 coming from that area. It far exceeds the 24.89 per cent of residential property values in Trail, 7.15 per cent of businesses and 5.32 per cent of utilities. Light industry (.06 per cent), recreation/non profit (.06 per cent) and managed forest (.03 per cent) also were factored in. Taxes get rolling With the property tax roll now fully balanced, the tax increase means the city will levy $19.481 million in total taxes, up $372,497 over

2011 — an 1.95 per cent increase in the tax roll. In total, business property tax rates have increased .44 per cent to $20.9271 per $1,000 from $20.8394. Jolly said the city has maintained its business to residential property tax ratio at two-toone again in 2012. “That, in my opinion, keeps us very much in the favourable category for businesses looking to relocate,” said Jolly. For major industry, property taxes will increase by 1.01 per cent to $52.1161 per $1,000 of assessment, collecting $9,035,578 in 2012 taxes.
has increased the amount we are sharing and giving each other as resources.”
The bill is in the mail Moments after the property tax requisitions and rates were set, the wheels were put in motion for the delivery of property tax notices to Trail residents. The notices are now being printed and are expected to be in the mail on Friday, said councillor Kevin Jolly. Taxes will come due and payable on or before the close of business on July 3 in order to avoid a 10 per cent penalty that will be levied on property taxes outstanding. “It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure that property taxes are paid, even if a property tax notice is not received,” said Jolly in his general government report to council Monday night in council chambers. He said it was especially important for new homeowners in Trail to make note of the dates and pay their property taxes since the notice is often sent to the previous owner (it may take several months for the land title to be updated). Some new homeowners mistakenly think property taxes are not their responsibility in the first year, and that they were paid as part of the purchase. “(Then) people are surprised when they receive a statement in the fall indicating that they have property taxes outstanding,” Jolly said. An advertising campaign will be conducted reminding people that property taxes have been mailed and they are now due. People can also pay their taxes and claim their homeowner grants at a secure site online. — Schafer

Members haven’t had a general pay increase in three years and they need a cost of living increase plus a wage hike just to keep pace, he said. The union has rejected a three-percent increase. “It was 1.5 per cent a year for each of two years but that was for absolutely everything, that wasn’t just a pay raise,” Walker explained, adding expenses such as gas and boot allowance weren’t covered.

Forests says 13 threeperson initial attack crews were to leave for Winnipeg Tuesday and will be deployed across the province. Forestry officials say the crews can be recalled at any time, a precaution that could be necessary as B.C. fire ratings from northeastern B.C. to the south coast begin to edge upward. A wildfire broke out Monday near Tumbler Ridge, about 100 kilometres south of Dawson Creek, and quickly grew to more than half
a square kilometre. The blaze was reported just hours after the Prince George fire chief warned residents that a warm spell, no rain in the forecast and dry conditions have created a significant fire risk. Similar cautions have been issued in Kamloops, where a ban on large open fires took effect Tuesday, and on the Sunshine Coast where a 16-member crew quickly snuffed out a human-caused wildfire near Sechelt on the weekend.

ELLEN DEGENERES
Ground breaking comedian to be honoured THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON Ellen DeGeneres, who broke ground in 1997 as the first lead character on prime-time TV to reveal she was gay, is winning the nation’s top humour prize. The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced Tuesday that DeGeneres will receive the 15th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. She will be honoured Oct. 22 with a lineup of star performers in a tribute show that will be recorded for broadcast at a later date. In a written statement, DeGeneres said receiving the same award as past honorees Bill Cosby, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell makes her wonder, “why didn’t I get this sooner?� It was 15 years ago just before the humour prize was created - when DeGeneres came out on Time magazine’s cover and as her character on the sitcom “Ellen� to a record 46 million viewers. The popular show began losing viewers, though, and was cancelled a year later. DeGeneres said at the time that ABC caved in to fear and abandoned the show. She faced tough questions over whether the sitcom was “too gay� and if she had torpedoed her career by pushing a “gay agenda.� “When I’m accused of becoming political, I’m showing love,� DeGeneres told ABC’s Diane Sawyer in a 1998 interview. “How is that political to teach love and acceptance?� The rejection was enough to send DeGeneres into a deep depression. “Ellen� paved the way, though, for future shows to also break the taboo of showing gay characters. “Will and Grace� would follow, along with “Glee,� �Modern Family“ and others. DeGeneres bounced back with movie roles, including as the voice of
a lead character in the animated film “Finding Nemo.� She also has a hit talk show now in its ninth season, bestselling books and had a stint as the fourth judge on “American Idol.� Cappy McGarr, an executive producer for the Mark Twain Prize show and a Kennedy Center board member, said DeGeneres has a special style of observational humour in the tradition of Twain. She also makes people laugh across political lines. “She’s not just a
comedian,� he said. “She’s really a miracle worker. She got the president to dance, the first lady to do pushups and (Republican) Tom Delay to laugh.� The New Orleans native got her start as an emcee at a local comedy club in her hometown. In 1982, a videotape of her club performance won DeGeneres Showtime’s “Funniest Person in America.� By 1986, she appeared on “The Tonight Show� and became the first female comedian summoned to
Johnny Carson’s desk to chat about her performance. The Mark Twain prize honours people who have an impact on society in the tradition of Samuel Clemens, better known as Twain, as a social commentator and satirist. McGarr said the

Rossland’s big infrastructure project begins
O
ne of the largest infrastructure projects in a number of years has begun in the City of Rossland. The upgrading of sewer, water and storm piping along Columbia Avenue as well as Washington Street to 1st Avenue is the first phase in a very comprehensive overall project to be completed by the end of October of this year. This will be followed by the complete replacement of the sidewalks and to top it off a fresh new asphalt surface. While the piping is not the most glamorous component it is most significant in the efficient operation of the City. These upgrades will be in service for the next 50 years. Another component of the project is the Streetscape.
“Bulb Outs” in the sidewalks will be at the intersections along Columbia Avenue. These are a widening of the concrete surface in a “bulb” shape that narrows the roadway and allows for marked crosswalks without obtrusive overhead signage. This will make the pedestrian journey across Columbia a more relaxed event. The “Bulb Outs” also will have a calming effect on traffic. One of the more contentious design issues was that of widening the north sidewalk of Columbia between Queen Street and Washington and removing angle parking in favour of parallel parking. This has been left out of the final project. There will be upgrades to Harry Lefevre Square that will enhance the area and make it a welcoming

GRANSTROM Community Comment gathering place in the center of downtown. The streetscape will also feature trees along Columbia Avenue. Some of the hardy trees that already thrive on Columbia will be replanted. Unfortunately a few will not, however they will be planted in other areas of the City. The final component is the asphalt and surface drainage along Columbia and up Washington. The City has worked close-
ly with the Ministry of Transportation, ministry staff have been very cooperative and supportive in this project. Construction is underway, there will be inconveniences as we move forward. Parking will be limited along Columbia at times. The city is developing the lot off Washington next to the Thrift Store as well as other sites for convenient parking. There will be signage highlighting these sites. The city has set up several information avenues for getting up to date information regarding construction schedules. The City website is updated regularly. ISL Engineering, the City’s Project Manager has a store front office across from the Prestige on Columbia Avenue where persons can drop in.
Further ISL has a contact number 250-5121641 for Dave Swift the Construction Supervisor. Also there is a Communication Task Force in place that can be reached at constructionproject@rossland.ca, as well as on Facebook at ‘Rossland City Council, via Jody Blomme.” The Task Force will be providing up to date information to the press as well. Individual councillors are always available to answer enquiries. Most importantly Rossland is open for business! Please continue to support your local businesses, their exceptional products and services are the pulse of our downtown. Greg Granstrom is the Mayor of Rossland.

DYER
WEBSITE POLL RESULTS:
Moussa, a former Egyptian foreign minister and ex-head of the Arab League, and former air force commander Ahmed Shafiq, who was briefly prime minister in the last days of the Mubarak regime. All moderates. It’s impossible to predict who will win, because the election on 23-24 May will only produce two front-runners, who will then face a run-off contest on mid-June. What can be said with confidence is that the man the armed forces finally hand power over to at the end of June will not be a radical. Disappointed? You wanted Egyptians to conduct a radical political experiment you would never want to see tried in your own country? Tough. In 1998 there was a similar non-violent democratic revolution in another big Muslim country. The dictator who was overthrown, like Hosni Mubarak, was a former general who had ruled his country for more than twenty years. The first elected president was the leader of a prominent Islamic organization, which frightened the country’s 10 percent Christian minority. Islamic parties also gained a dominant position in the new parliament, and the more excitable observers predicted national disaster. However, Indonesia today is a stable democracy with one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. Indonesia is far from perfect. The military still has enough clout to ensure that “defence� spending stays high, and the police are more corrupt than ever. But the mainstream Islamic parties have stopped demanding Sharia law and Muslim-Christian violence has practically ended. The place is a genuine but deeply imperfect democracy – like India, say, or the United States. Nobody in Indonesia wants the former dictator Suharto back, and already almost nobody in Egypt wants Mubarak back. It will get better in Egypt, though more slowly than most Egyptians hope.

The Rossland Secondary School Royals girls soccer team took home the Single A Public School Championship tournament in Osoyoos last week, outscoring opponents 26-4 in four games.
BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor
Royals rule over rural schools BY TIMES STAFF The Rossland Secondary School senior girl’s soccer team dazzled opponents last week, winning four decisive victories at the Single A Public School Championship in
Osoyoos. The Royals rolled over Princeton in the first game 6-0, before beating Fort St. James 9-3. They downed Pender Harbor 7-1 to make it to the final against Osoyoos.
Again RSS dominated as strong defence and solid netminding led the Royals to a 4-0 victory over the host team. Heather Thomas was awarded the Golden Boot for
top scorer in the tournament, that was held over two days during class time. The RSS Royals travel to Kelowna today to play for a spot in the Single A Provincials in Kelowna.
Hockey changes long overdue JIM
BAILEY Tight Lines
I
wonder if anyone is watching the NHL playoffs? At least it was a fitting end to the Washington Capitals’ run. Dale Hunter’s Caps typified the way the game is now being played. Turn your superstars like Ovechkin and Semen into grinders, box it up, play perimeter hockey, blasting away from the blue line until a shot is deflected by a screened goalie (that is
virtually unbeatable otherwise), while defenders lay out in front of more rubber than Goodyear makes in a good year. The Caps’ forwards and defencemen blocked as many shots as their goalie, something unheard of back in the old days of the other most boring innovation in professional hockey – the trap. For a while I was worried that the game had lost its lustre, but then I tuned into the Canada-Finland game at the IIHF World Championships and enjoyed a game of hockey I almost didn’t recognize. It was full of excitement and speed. Creativity and finesse actually prevailed on the large ice surface, epitomized by the goals of Jordan Eberle, John Tavares and Jeff Skinner. Maybe the NHL should consider turning its cramped, restrictive ponds into more
spacious vistas. More room can only help the skilled players and possibly reduce the efficacy of the new trap. Reduced head shots might also be a biproduct of a big surface. •The RBC Cup proved an immensely entertaining tournament with five evenly matched teams fighting for junior hockey supremacy. I watched the games on my laptop, thoroughly impressed with Trail native Travis St. Denis and his performance. Trail Smoke Eater fans should be proud that the home team helped develop the talented forward and congratulate him for a great junior career. •Kudos to the Beaver Valley Minor Hockey Association on its vote for amalgamation. It’s a big step but a necessary one if hockey is going to grow in Greater Trail communities. Merging BVMHA and Rossland Trail Minor Hockey Association has been a div-
isive issue that has strained friendships and ignited heated debates, but in the end, it will allow more kids to play hockey, and solve a number of issues arising from ‘No team in category’ status. Most importantly, bylaw 60 ensures that all early elementary school kids will stay and play at their home rinks without having to travel, while all older kids will have the option to play Rep or House and not have to jump through another Association’s hoops. The bitter Trail–Rossland– Beaver Valley rivalries of the past may diminish. Yet as I watched the RTMHA Bantam AA team play at the provincials last March, the fact the team was made up of players from all three communities didn’t seem to matter much at least to the kids.

With a creel full of prizes to give away, anglers don’t even need to catch the big one to win. The Arrow Lakes Yacht Club is gearing up for its annual fishing derby this weekend. Starting Saturday at 8 a.m., the derby trolls until Monday at 1 p.m. for the last weigh in. “We’d really like to have the public come out and enjoy it and bring their kids,” said Yacht Club board member Brenda Howell of Fruitvale. “It’s becoming a real family fishing derby now.” There are prizes for all the kids, with hidden weight categories, and ages 16 and under are admitted free. Included in the $30 entry fee is a Monday lunch, where winners and prizes will be awarded. With approximately $2,000 in prizes and $500 cash for the biggest fish, it’s also worthwhile for avid anglers to wet their line. “It’s not just one big prize for the person who catches the biggest fish,” said Howell. “We have the largest overall, then we have the largest women’s, men’s, youth and they all get trophies as well as cash . . . the merchants in Trail and Castlegar are fantastic in supporting it. We get oodles of door prizes.” The derby also encourage boaters and anglers to join the club which has a number of benefits. Including moorage, a number of docks, members’ clubhouse, a full kitchen, showers and facilities, a meeting room, storage, and free boat trailer storage. Members can also book annual campsites on which to park their campers and trailers. “We have members from all over Rossland, Trail, Fruitvale, Castlegar, we’ve got Nelson even and some even farther, Alberta,” “It’s a social club, a boating club and for people who like the outdoors and like to camp.” The Arrow Lakes Yacht Club is a non-profit society that has been afloat since 1956. To join or to register for the derby call 231-2489.

Mets host all stars THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Major League Baseball is finally getting around to announcing the New York Mets will host the 2013 All-Star game at Citi Field. MLB scheduled a news conference for today at City Hall with baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, Mets owner Fred Wilpon and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. A person familiar with the planning, said it was to make the All-Star announcement, Baseball decided at least four years ago that the Mets would host the game at the ballpark, which opened in 2009, but held off an announcement until it
reached agreements with the city and agencies for All-Star services and related events, such as the FanFest. The Mets last hosted the All-Stars in 1964, the year Shea Stadium opened. •Mets left fielder Jason Bay, who has been on the 15-day disabled list since April 24 with a fractured rib, met with team doctors last night at Citi Field and was cleared to resume some baseball activities. “I start (Tuesday),’’ Bay said. “Just ramping up, anything that’s tolerable, running, hitting, everything will be a progression. They just said if something bothers you, don’t do it.’’

LOS ANGELES - Staples Center is always among the world’s busiest arenas, hosting a jam-packed slate of concerts and shows crammed between games for the NBA’s Lakers and Clippers and the NHL’s Kings. But the downtown Los Angeles venue is preparing for its craziest weekend ever. After a remarkable run of simultaneous post-season success, Staples Center’s three main tenants are combining to host six playoff games in just four days. Starting with Game 3 of the Kings’ Western Conference final against the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday night and concluding with Game 4 of the Clippers’ second-round series against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night, the building will host a noonto-night barrage of dunks and slap shots, 3-pointers and glove saves in a succession of pressure-packed postseason games. For Lee Zeidman, Staples Center’s senior vice-president and general manager, this confluence of playoff success is both a visceral thrill and a puzzle to be solved. “This is unprecedented in this building, and I believe in arenas all over the country,” Zeidman said. “I don’t believe it will ever be duplicated, because we’re the only building with two NBA teams.
This presents some unprecedented challenges, but hopefully we’re going to come out of it with six victories in four days.” Staples Center will host two weekend doubleheaders, with two basketball games Saturday before a potentially problematic hockey-tohoops changeover Sunday. What’s more, the Tour of California also ends right outside the building Sunday, drawing up to 100,000 fans downtown to watch the finish of the nation’s biggest cycling race about 30 minutes before the Kings and the Coyotes drop the puck on Game 4 of the Western Conference finals. After the NBA announced last Saturday that the Lakers and Clippers would both host back-toback playoff games this weekend, the arena’s employees began preparing for one of the longest weekends of their careers. “This is all hands on deck,” Zeidman said. “We’ve scheduled everybody and anybody, from concession to cleanup and housekeeping to conversion crew to maintenance. Some people are going to be getting some good overtime.” Staples Center, which proclaims itself “the sports and entertainment capital of the world” before its tenants’ home games, was opened in 1999 by AEG, the sports-entertainment conglomerate which owns the Kings and a piece of the Lakers.

LEISURE
Use sexual tension to revitalize marriage Dear Annie: My husband and I have been happily married for eight years, and we have two beautiful children. Recently, an exboyfriend called to let me know that his father had died. I hadn’t heard from him in 12 years. “Matt” and I began speaking regularly and even spent some time together. My husband knew all of this and was OK with it. One night, however, things went further than they should have, and we kissed several times. I don’t know whether I should confess this to my husband or not. Other than getting it off my chest, what good would it do? My husband would no longer trust me, and I’d lose my friendship with Matt, and frankly, I don’t want that to happen. The kissing isn’t going to happen again. Do I follow the “honesty is always the best policy” philosophy, or the “what you don’t know can’t hurt you” philosophy?
ANNIE’S
MAILBOX
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
-- A Confused Wife Dear Confused: You have betrayed your husband and should stop all contact with Matt immediately. No matter what you say about not kissing him again, your excuses to maintain the friendship indicate that your resolve is paper thin. You are playing with fire, risking your marriage and family for the thrill of feeling young and desired again. It’s time to grow up and end this nonsense. Use all that sexual tension and energy to revitalize your marriage. Sounds as if it could use a boost. Dear Annie: I’d like to make a suggestion to people who give gifts to
high school and college graduates. While a savings bond is a generous and patriotic gesture, it is of little value to a college freshman who needs to buy $500 worth of textbooks and supplies, or to a graduating senior with thousands of dollars in student loans. Very little compares to the look of despair when a graduate opens a card to find a $100 savings bond that can’t be cashed in for full value for several years. I realize budgets are tight, but a $50 check might mean the difference between a college freshman buying dinner or going hungry. -- Cash Strapped for College Dear Cash Strapped: We understand your preferences, but you’d find an equal number of older graduates telling you how grateful they were to discover a fully matured bond when they were out of school, struggling to pay for baby food and car repairs. We know
many graduates would like something they can use in the here and now. But those who give gifts do so out of generosity and thoughtfulness, not because they are obligated to feed you. If you receive government bonds, consider them an investment in your future, and put them in a safe place. In 10 years, they’ll be worth more, and you’ll be thrilled to rediscover them. Dear Annie: I must respond to “Need Another Opinion,” who doesn’t want to be burdened with caring for his wife’s disabled stepsiblings. As the parent of biological children and an adopted daughter, I would like to point out that there should be no distinction between the two. I love all my children the same. We are a family, blood or no blood. Those with Down syndrome and other developmental and emotional issues deserve to be cared for
and respected in our communities. It is not always easy, but there are many resources available to help. If I were this man’s wife, I would be wary of spending my life with him. Did he really think he married some-
one who would turn her back on her family because it was challenging and difficult? Tragedy can happen at any time. How would he feel if one of their future children had a catastrophic injury or illness?
I suggest “Another Opinion” take a good look in the mirror to see what kind of man he is willing to be. Hopefully, they can find a way to build a life together and still care for their family members. -- Mom of Three

LEISURE
YOUR HOROSCOPE By Francis Drake For Thursday, May 17, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be patient with partners and close friends because relationships might be difficult today. Saturn opposes the Moon in your sign, which is a bit challenging -- just for today. (This passes very quickly.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might feel lonely or cut off from others today. You especially might feel this way at work. Don’t worry, because this is just a brief dark cloud on your horizon. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone older or more experienced might be critical of your efforts today. (Bummer.) Try not to take this personally. (There’s one in every crowd.) CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might feel shot down by someone in authority today. Certainly, this is a
poor day to ask for permission or approval from bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Because your concentration is quite good today, this could be an excellent day to study something. However, someone older might rain on your parade if you get too excited about something unusual. (Sigh.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might feel disappointed about your fair share of something that has to be divided. In a few days, things will look different. They might even change. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Partners and close friends might be a tad gloomy today. Don’t take this personally. (People are easily depressed today.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Choose work that requires attention to detail. You won’t
mind doing routine work, because today, your personal comfort is less important. (Just tough it out.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Children might feel like an increased responsibility today. Quite possibly, discussions about the care of children will deal with serious issues. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) An older relative might be
critical of you today or might try to discourage your plans about something. Don’t let this get you down, because this will change in a few days. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You probably feel broke today. (Join the club; we number in the millions.) Actually, today things look worse than they really are. (It’s always darkest before it gets pitch black.)
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t fall into worry mode today, because it’s very easy to do. Instead, use this focused energy to get something you’ve been procrastinating about out of the way. YOU BORN TODAY You approach life with great intensity. You get down to basics and go after what you want. At times, your zeal amazes others. They also are amazed at your candid frank-
