A year of learning for mayor Wayne Stetski reflects on his first year in office

ANNALEE GRANT Townsman Staff

It was his first full year as Mayor of the City of Cranbrook, and Mayor Wayne Stetski said there were too many highlights to count.

From attending events to working with his fellow councillors, Stetski said he has had a fantastic year.

His primary goal in 2012 was to improve the relationship between city hall and residents.

“One of the major objectives I’ve had is to make sure everyone feels welcome at city hall,” he said. “I really think we’ve been able to accomplish that.”

His original plan had been to open up city hall to the public, but instead, he took city hall to the people through his Coffee with the Mayor events. At a number of coffee shops around the city, the mayor has been able to chat with residents to hear their concern straight from the

horse’s mouth.

Stetski also brouhgt back the popular Brown Bag Lunch event, held in Council Chambers to again welcome public feedback and discussion.

A third piece is his weekly five-minute community updates on local radio.

“All of those give people an opportunity to chat,” he said.

As far as council motions, Stetski said a big success was the Downtown Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw. This issue became particularly important after several buildings on Baker St. were lost in a devastating fire in April.

Stetski said that under the new bylaw, any new development or improvements in the downtown core will be exempt from property taxes for the first five years to encourage development.

First Nations activists across the country took part in a week of rallies, as the grassroots movement known as Idle No More organized to protest Conservative government legislation, in particular the Government omnibus Bill C-45, which was passed by the Senate on Friday, Dec. 14. The movement is also concerned with several other bills which have not been passed, which Idle No More says threatens resources and environmental protection laws.

Nominations sought for 2013 Woman of the Year TOWNSMAN STAFF

The Cranbrook Club of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) is seeking nominations from the community for its 28th annual Woman of the Year award.

Any woman in the East Kootenay region is eligible to receive the award based on the

Season’s Greetings...

From our Homes to Yours!

following criteria: her contributions to the education and/ or advancement of women, and how she has inspired and enriched the lives around her by her endeavours.

The nominee’s contributions and achievements may have taken place in the last year or over a period of time.

Her efforts may have been part of paid employment, voluntary, or a combination of both.

“Education” does not necessarily carry an academic meaning, but can be more widely interpreted to mean supporting and encouraging learning.

“The women who have

been honoured by this award are very much admired and respected by those with whom they come into contact,” said Cathryn Henley, President of the Club. “Often they are unsung heroines of the community.”

Mayor reflects on first year in office While there is nothing concrete to announce yet, Stetski said he has spoken with a few developers in relation to downtown development. His hope is that the downtown area will some day have more residential growth.

“That’s key to changing the future of Cranbrook,” he said.

For Stetski, the fire in April was one of the toughest days for him as mayor so far.

“Whenever you see local businesses — and of course local businesses are local people — facing loses of any kind, it’s very difficult,” he said.

As mayor, Stetski attended over 100 events this year and says those that celebrated Cranbrook’s unique culture were his favourites. Notable events include the Métis Flag Raising, held to coincide with Louis Riel Day on November 16 and the Phillipine Independence Day in June.

Both events were commemorated with the nation’s flag flying over City Hall for several days, followed by traditional celebrations.

Stetski’s wish is that a cultural festival could one day find roots in Cranbrook to celebrate every unique culture that calls the city home.

“Every one is special in its own way,” he said.

“That’s a really important development to Cranbrook and its future.”

There were many other less flashy events that were just as important to Cranbrook and its future. Stetski said the recent opening of the Cranbrook Food Bank warehouse was a boon to the city, and will help better serve those in need.

Opening night of the Kootenay Ice this year showed a vibrant community, and so too did the celebration of notable resident Ruby Sinclair’s birthday party at an Ice game this season. Stetski remembers the entire arena singing Happy Birthday to the 95-year old mega Ice fan.

Looking into the fu-

Continued from page 1 ture, Stetski said in 2013 he hopes to take action now that the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce has completed and presented its Barriers to Business Report.

“I’m really looking forward to sitting down and putting together an action plan,” he said.

“One of the major objectives I’ve had is to make sure everyone feels welcome at city hall.

I really think we’ve been able to accomplish that.”

Wayne Stetski

Work on the Highway 3 Improvement Committee will continue next year, and Stetski said the Elizabeth Lake entrance to Cranbrook will look a whole lot more welcoming in the near future.

“There’s going to be a spectacular welcome to Cranbrook sign there come spring,” he said.

The committee will look at the highway from Elizabeth Lake to the Overpass at the north end of Cranbrook St. to determine what can be done to welcome in more visitors and make the strip more aesthetically

pleasing. They will look at use of art, landscaping, zoning and signage, among other things.

Stetski said the idea came to him when a mother with a young child pointed out that there is little to draw in families and encourage them to spend more time in the city. She asked if there could be a park, or perhaps directions or signage to a nearby park directing motorists driving through the city.

Council will be taking a look at the Official Community Plan and preparing some changes to update the plan for the future.

“We’re looking at updating the Official Community Plan and pulling in everything we’ve learned from the public,” Stetski said.

This year Stetski got a chance to spend a few hours with Cranbrook’s disabled community.

The mayor took to a wheelchair and learned about all the barriers in the city for those with disabilities.

“I hope to put together a workshop lead by people with disabilities to help inform all of us,” he said. “there’s just an incredible amount of room for improvement,” One of the biggest issues Stetski noted during his two-hour tour is that there are many handicapped parking spots, however wheelchair users often have to go out into traffic to access a drop in the sidewalk to get access to it. Stetski said that issue is an easy fix.

“A lot of the fixes aren’t all that complicated, it just requires that we do some thinking,” he said.

Last year, the recipient was Sister Nina Glinski, and in 2011,the Woman of the Year was shared by Vicky Dalton and the late Velma McKay. “The club has honoured more than one woman before and did in 2011, as both women served on many of the same boards, did the same type of volunteer work and grass roots work to better improve our community for all, but especially women,” Henley said.

Other woman of the year recipients include Sandy Zeznick, Janyce Brampton, Karin Penner, the late Linda Abbott, Jayne Garner-Galarneau, Leona Gatsby, Sophie Pierre, Mila Siguenza, Sheilah Moore, Janice Edwards, Ruby Sinclair, Susan Campbell, Flo Reid, Daphne Hayden, Pat Skordal, Anne Buckman, Pat Townshend, Jan Levang, Susan Selby, Anna Mae Gartside, Louise Stropky, Brenda Paul, Ann Rice, Mary Phillips, Elaine Fawcett, Cathy Fairclough and Mabel Chan.

Recipients of this honour are selected from nominations submitted by the public.

Nomination forms are available only at the

website www. cfuw-cranbrook.com.

The deadline for nominations is Friday, Feb. 15, at 12 noon.

“The Club tries to arrange the Woman of the Year Award ceremony the same day as International Woman’s Day,”

Henley said. “But that is a Friday this year, so we may have to choose the 6th or 7th of March instead.

“We will announce the date as soon as we know,” she added.

CFUW Cranbrook celebrated their 30th Anniversary in September 2012, and has

worked hard to establish two perpetual scholarships and a bursary at the College of the Rockies. The group also provides scholarships at Mount Baker Secondary School. They also support Visual Arts, Math & Science Conferences, the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel,

as well as the public library. The CFUW is a national and international group with seats on the United Nations.

The local branch meets every third Thursday of every month. Check our website for more information about our work and our club.

Dix seeks balance with business NDP leader Adrian Dix has completed year-end interviews with members of the legislative press gallery. Here are highlights from my discussion with him.

TF: On the Kinder Morgan oil pipeline expansion proposal, federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair says the federal environmental process would have to be strengthened before a project like that could get a thorough enough hearing. Do you agree?

AD: The B.C. Liberal government has signed an equivalency agreement that says that the federal decision is the provincial decision on these projects. If it applies to Enbridge Northern Gateway, presumably the B.C. Liberals would apply it to Kinder Morgan.

They could have done a joint process, where [the final decision] would have gone to both cabinets. They chose instead to give up jurisdiction. They were so afraid of making any decision on Northern Gateway that they sent it over to the federal government.

So what we’ve said is within a week of coming to office, we would end that equivalency agreement, and British Columbia would make decisions about both Enbridge Northern Gateway, which applied in May 2010, and any other pipeline, including the Kinder Morgan proposal, for which no application has been made.

Obviously it would have been desirable

for everyone had they chosen a true joint review, as they have in Site C [dam proposed for Peace River], as they did with Kemess North [rejected mine expansion proposal] and other cases.

TF: You don’t want duplicated review processes here, you just want a provincial cabinet say in the decision?

AD: That’s right.

TF: On your relationship with the B.C. Federation of Labour, your caucus is considering a proposal that B.C. should once again do away with secret BC VIEWS ballots for union certification.

Tom AD: The B.C. Fed makes Fletcher a case to the government on a series of issues on employment standards every year.

Labour law, every year. WorkSafeBC, every year. Trades and training, every year.

With respect to [accepting signed union cards for certification], it is a democratic process that the Newfoundland Conservative government just put into place a few months ago. So it’s a proposal from the labour movement and we’re looking at it.

For most of B.C.’s modern history, since World War II, we’ve had that cardcheck system in place. The question would be whether [returning to that system] is a priority for this term in government.

TF: So those kinds of things will be made clear in your platform?

AD: Absolutely.

TF: You picked up some serious money from the business community at a fundraiser in October. Is that some kind of a record for the NDP? AD: [Laughs.] It might be a record, I don’t know. I think the business fundraiser we did at the Hotel Vancouver netted $350,000.

I think what it reflects is, this year I’ve had about 230 meetings with the business community. The purpose of it has been principally to build understanding, particularly on issues of skills training. With the priority I give to skills training, I think I’m much more attuned to their concerns than the government has been.

TF: I suppose that kind of success in fundraising might make it more difficult to follow through with your pledge to ban corporate and union donations.

AD: I don’t think so. The B.C. Liberal Party has a very high level of corporate donations as a percentage of its total.

We’re overwhelmingly dependent on individual donations. We get support from unions, but it’s not even close to what people would think.

TF: So you’ll campaign for that, as you have before?

AD: Yes. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Our world: 2012 and beyond What’s Up?

T

o begin on a happy note, the world didn’t end this year. December 21st came and went without a sign of the Four Horsemen, leaving the Mayans (or rather their ancestors) with egg all over their faces. It just goes to show the perils of prediction — but why would we let that deter us? Nobody is keeping score.

So, instead of the usual trek through the events of the past year, why don’t we use this year-ender to examine the entrails of recent events for portents of the future?

Like, for example, the vicissitudes of the Arab revolutions in the past 12 months.

On one hand, there were the first truly free elections in modern Egyptian history.

On the other hand, judges inherited from the old regime dismissed the lower house of parliament on a flimsy pretext, and then the Islamist president retaliated by ramming through a new constitution that entrenched conservative “Islamic” values against the will of more than a third of the population.

Is this glass half full or half empty?

On one hand, Libyans managed to hold a free election even though the country is still overrun by various militias, and Yemen finally bid farewell to its dictator of 30-odd years. On the other hand, Syria has fallen into a full-scale civil war, with government planes bombing city centres and 40,000 dead. Did the “Arab spring” succeed, or did it fail?

Well, both, of course. How could it have been otherwise, in a world of fallible human beings? But the mould has been broken, and already half of the world’s Arabs live in countries that are basically democratic.

The political game is being played pretty roughly in some Arab countries, but that’s quite normal in new democracies —and in some older ones, too. In the years to come the transformation will deepen, amidst much further turbulence, and most Arab countries will emerge from it as normal, highly imperfect democracies. Just like most of the world’s other countries.

The European Union staggered through a year during which the common currency of the majority of its members, the euro, tottered permanently on the brink of collapse. The financial markets have been talking all year about “Grexit”, the expected, almost inevitable withdrawal of Greece from the eurozone, and speculating on which country would leave next.

Meanwhile, secessionist movements flourished in major EU states. In Spain, both Catalonia and the Basque region elected provincial governments committed to holding referendums on independence.

The United Kingdom and the recently devolved Scottish government agreed on the terms of a referendum to be held on Scottish independence in 2014. And in Belgium, Flemish threats to secede seemed more plausible than usual.

It’s a mess, in other words, and Europe certainly faces years of very low economic growth. But the EU was always mainly a political project, intended to end centuries of devastating wars in Europe, and the euro was invented to reinforce that union.

That project still has the firm support of the political elites in almost all EU countries, and they will pay whatever price is necessary to save it. Even in the regions considering secession from their current countries, there is no appetite for leaving the EU. Indeed, the strongest argument of the anti-secessionists is to say that those regions would have to re-apply for EU membership if they got their independence, rather than just inheriting it automatically.

So the European Union will survive, and will even recover its financial stability eventually. It will also remain a major economic player in the world, athough the centre of gravity of the global economy will continue to shift towards Asia. There is even reason to think that Asia’s triumph will arrive somewhat later, and in a rather more muted fashion, than the enthusiasts have been predicting in recent years.

In the last months of 2012 China went through the ten-yearly ritual in which power is handed on to a new generation of leaders, and both Japan and South Korea elected new right-wing governments. North Korea, the nuclear-armed rogue state that lies between them, put its first satellite into orbit, thus demonstrating its ability to build long-range ballistic missiles. And China was almost continuously embroiled in border disputes with its neighbours (Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia) in the South China Sea. The cloud on the horizon is still “no bigger than a man’s hand,” but it is definitely there. We can hope that the world works differently nowadays, but fears, the nationalist Gwynne the passions, and even the strategic relationships in Asia Dyer are coming to resemble those in Europe a century ago, on the eve of the First World War. Even if an equivalent war never actually happens in Asia, a growing share of the region’s resources may be wasted on military spending. And if there ever were a real war, the destruction would be so great, given current weapons technologies, that the region could lose decades’ worth of growth.

But it will be some years before we know if the region is really drifting in that direction.

The world’s drift towards global catastrophe due to climate change is becoming impossible to deny. This northern summer saw prolonged droughts and heat waves ravage crops from the U.S. Midwest to the plains of Russia, and soaring food prices as the markets responded to shortages in food supply.

This September saw Arctic sea ice cover fall to its lowest ever level: only half of the total area covered by ice in September 10 years ago. And October saw Hurricane Sandy devastate much of the U.S. east coast, causing a hundred deaths and over $30 billion in damage. It was the second-costliest tropical storm in American history (after Katrina, in New Orleans, seven years ago).

Yet the global response is as feeble as ever. The annual round of global negotiations on cutting greenhouse gas emissions, held this December in Qatar, merely agreed that they would try to get some sort of deal by 2015. Even if they do, however, it won’t go into effect until 2020.

November brought a week of massive Israeli air and missile strikes against the Gaza Strip, allegedly in retaliation for Palestinian missile attacks against Israel, but the tit-for-tat has been going on for so long that it’s pointless to discuss who started it. And nothing Israel does can stop the growing support for a Palestinian state: in late November the United Nations General Assembly granted Palestine non-voting observer state status by a vote of 138-9.

More worrisome was the threat of Israeli air strikes on Iran, supposedly to stop it from getting nuclear weapons. That would be a very big war if it started: the United States would almost inevitably get dragged in, the flow of oil from the Gulf states would stop, and the world economy would do a nosedive.

But there is no proof that Iran is current-

An Egyptian man shows his inked finger after casting his vote on the second round of a referendum on a disputed constitution drafted by Islamist supporters of President Mohammed Morsi in Fayoum, Egypt, Saturday, Dec. 22. ly working on nuclear weapons (the U.S. and Israeli intelligence services both say no), and mere air strikes would not cripple Iran’s nuclear industry for long. So the whole issue is probably an Israeli bluff.

A bluff to what end? To get the rest of the world to impose severe economic sanctions against Iran, in the hope that they will cause enough pain to get Iranians to overthrow the present regime. The damage is certainly being done, but the power of the ayatollahs is unshaken. They will not be overthrown, and there will not be a war. I think.

And then there’s the United States, where Barack Obama, having accomplished little except health care reform in his first presidential term, was re-elected anyway. The Republican candidate concentrated his campaign on Obama’s slow progress in overcoming the deepest recession in 70 years (which had been caused by the previous Republican administration), but just in time the numbers started to turn upward for Obama.

The economic recovery will probably strengthen in the coming year (unless the U.S. falls off the “fiscal cliff” in the next week or so), and growth will give Obama enough political capital to undertake on at least one big reform project. The highest priority is obviously global warming, but there is a danger that he will fritter his resources away on hot-button issues like gun control.

So much for the big themes of the year.

There was also the usual scatter of promising changes like Burma’s gradual return to democracy, the start of peace talks that may bring an end to the 60-year-old war between government and guerillas in Colombia, and the return to the rule of law in growing areas of anarchic Somalia.

Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez is probably dying of cancer, and the rules for choosing his successor are in dispute. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin faced unprecedented public protests after the elections last March, but his power still seems secure. The Mars rover landed successfully in August, and is now busily trundling across the Martian landscape. The existence of the Higgs boson was confirmed (or at least tentatively confirmed).

Business as usual, in other words. 2012 wasn’t a particularly bad year; if you think it was, you’ve been reading too many newspapers and watching too much CNN. Their stock-in-trade is crisis and tragedy, so you can always count on them to give you the worst news possible. It wasn’t all that great a year either, but never mind. There’ll be another one along shortly.

KIMBERLEY DYNAMITERS

Nitros fizzle against Ghostriders Fernie earns two late wins against Kimberley to close out schedule before Christmas break TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Canada’s Boone Jenner was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for charging after a late hit on Sweden’s Jesper Pettersson.

Jenner ejected in Canada’s shootout win over Sweden C ANADIAN PRESS

HELSINKI, Finland —The world junior hockey championship hasn’t even started yet, but Canada is already facing mounting adversity.

Jonathan Huberdeau and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored in the shootout Saturday as Canada defeated Sweden 2-1 in the team’s final warmup game.

The story afterwards, however, was the status of Canadian centre Boone Jenner, who was assessed a five-minute major and a game misconduct for charging after a late hit on Jesper Pettersson in the second period.

The Swedish defenceman lay on the ice in pain and had to be carried off on a stretcher.

Canadian coach Steve Spott said he didn’t know if Jenner would face further disciplinary action from the International Ice Hockey Federation.

“It’s out of our control. Ultimately, our feeling is (the hit) was shoulder-to-shoulder,’’ Spott said. “If anything, maybe interference or a charge but definitely not something that’s worth suspending because although Boone is an aggressive player, he didn’t target anybody’s head and he didn’t leave his feet.’’

If Jenner, who plays for the Oshawa Generals and is a draft pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets, is suspended for a significant length of time, Canada would have the option to bring over a player to replace him.

NHL, players’ union make no progress over the weekend IR A PODELL Associated Press

NEW YORK—All is quiet between the NHL and the players’ association, and there is no sign the sides will talk even by phone before Christmas.

“Nothing today,’’ NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Associated Press in an email Sunday night. “Don’t know whether we will speak before the holiday.’’

Daly and players’ association special counsel

Steve Fehr spoke to each other Saturday, but nothing of note came out of those discussions. The union declined to comment Sunday, the 99th day of the NHL lockout.

The sides haven’t met face to face since Dec. 13.

All games through Jan. 14 have already been called off, and if a new collective bargaining agreement isn’t reached by then, the remainder of the schedule could be cancelled, too.

It was not the way the Nitros wanted to finish heading into the Christmas break, as the Fernie Ghostriders played the role of the Grinch by sweeping a home and home series over the weekend.

The Golden Rockets had flown above the Dynamiters and the Ghostriders in the standings, but Fernie’s two wins have put them in a tie for first in the Eddie Mountain Division.

The Nitros have slipped to third place, six points behind both teams.

Both weekend con-

tests were tight, as Friday’s 4-3 decision was decided in the final two minutes of the third period, while Saturday’s affair was a 3-2 overtime win.

Dylan Rota scored the game winner on Friday in Fernie to give the ‘Riders the win, and also potted the overtime marker the following night.

The two teams traded goals in the first period on Friday as Josh McKissock score for the ‘Riders, but Tanner Gray responded for the Nitros to even things up.

Both were held scoreless in the middle frame, but the ‘Riders

posted a trio of goals in the final period, while Kimberley only answered with a pair.

The Nitros initially pulled ahead, scoring twice from Taylor McDowell and Eric Buckley, but Fernie roared back with three unanswered markers from McKissock, Matt Carr and Rota.

Both teams were held scoreless on the

man-advantage; Fernie had four opportunities, while Kimberley had seven.

Jeremy Mousseau turned away 40 shots while manning the crease for the Nitros, with Chris Solecki stopping 29 shots for Fernie.

The ‘Riders came down to the Civic Centre in Kimberley the following night for a rematch and stole a 3-2 overtime decision.

For the second consecutive game, Fernie took the lead off a goal from McKissock in the first period, but Taylor McDowell evened it up in the following frame.

Kimberley pulled ahead in the final peri-

od off a goal from Andrew Miller, but Patrick Webb responded for Fernie with four minutes remaining in the game.

Rota scored late in the overtime frame with 1:40 to go.

Fernie had one power play goal in seven opportunities, while Kimberley capitalized once in nine chances.

Solecki made 37 saves for Fernie, while Matthew Mitchell stopped 35 shots for Kimberley.

The Nitros will be back at it on Dec. 29 in another home and home series with the Ghostriders.

Colts, Bengals latest teams to make playoffs C ANADIAN PRESS

One year after putting together the NFL’s worst record, the Indianapolis Colts are headed to the playoffs.

Joining them on Sunday were the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Colts (10-5) equaled the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only teams to win at least 10 games after losing 14 or more the previous season. Top overall draft pick Andrew Luck completed a 7-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne late in the fourth quarter for a 20-13 victory at Kansas City.

Cincinnati qualified for a second straight post-season berth for only the second time in franchise history, edging archrival Pittsburgh 13-10. The Bengals have never gone to the

playoffs in successive years that did not involve a strike-shortened season.

Luck finished with 205 yards passing to break Cam Newton’s year-old rookie record of 4,051 yards in a season. He also extended his rookie record for fourth-quarter comebacks to seven by leading his team downfield in the closing minutes.

“Mission accomplished. That’s all I can say,’’ Colts interim coach Bruce Arians said. “Without getting emotional again, knowing that (coach Chuck Pagano) is going to be back Monday, the work week shouldn’t be as stressful.’’

For the Bengals (96), Andy Dalton hit A.J. Green with a 21-yard pass in the final moments, setting up Josh

Brown’s 43-yard field goal with 4 seconds remaining. The loss eliminated the Steelers from contention.

Minnesota’s 23-6 win at Houston prevented the Texans from earning home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. AFC South champion Houston (12-3) still can get that by winning at Indianapolis in the season finale.

Washington’s 27-20 win at Philadelphia, combined with New Orleans beating Dallas 34-31 in overtime means the Redskins will win the NFC East by beat the Cowboys next week.

Green Bay clinched at least the third seed in the NFC when it routed Tennessee 55-7. The NFC North champs (11-4) still could wind

On Saturday night, NFC South winner At-

lanta won 31-18 at Detroit to clinch homefield advantage throughout the conference playoffs.

Swisher, Indians agree to $56 million, 4-year contract TOM WITHERS Associated Press

CLEVELAND — The Indians’ pitch to bring Nick Swisher “home’’ worked.

Two people familiar with the negotiations said Swisher has agreed to a $56 million, fouryear contract with the Indians, who used the

free agent outfielder’s deep Ohio connections to convince him to join the club. The people spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday because Swisher must take a physical before the deal can be finalized. The Indians are expected to announce Swisher’s signing after

Christmas, one of the people said.

The Indians will not comment until Swisher completes his physical.

“Wow! What a crazy few weeks,’’ Swisher said on Twitter. “Hey Cleveland! Are you ready? Because I’m coming home!’’

Swisher’s deal in-

cludes a $14 million option for 2017 that could become guaranteed based on plate appearances the previous year.

Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis was excited about the club’s newest addition.

“Welcome to the Tribe (at)nickswisher,

pumped to get ya,’’ Kipnis tweeted.

The 32-year-old Swisher spent the last four seasons with the New York Yankees, taking advantage of the short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium. A switch-hitter, Swisher hit .272 this season with 24 homers and 93 RBIs.

you. You have one life to live -- live it well! A family member could be upset and not understand the cause. Help this person move through his or her feelings, if possible. Tonight: Make midnight calls to loved ones at a distance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to others, as they want control. As a result, you will have less to do. Enjoy being a little lazy and relaxed, as you don’t have to be the leader for once. Deal with a difficult person rather than avoid him or her. Tonight: Go with the flow, but do drop by the mistletoe.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Finish up last-minute details.

Get your errands done. Once you pull everything together, you will be able to relax with a friend or a loved one. You won’t be able to predict what the next 24 hours will bring. Tonight: Come midnight, you’ll touch base with loved ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be pushing someone very hard. Know that you will not be able to convince this

person of the rightness of your ways. Give it up, and you might be surprised by what happens in the next few weeks. Tonight: Celebrate, but make it a point to get to bed early.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your instincts tell you to stay close to home. Between incoming calls and people dropping by, you might end up hosting an impromptu party. If any sign can get into the moment, it is you. A child dominates the scene ... to no one’s surprise. Tonight: The fun begins in the wee hours.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Make calls, finish errands and drop off a gift or two at a loved one’s place. You might be pushed by a group of friends who want you to join them at the last minute. Remember, there might not be a repeat of this cast of characters in the future. Tonight: Don’t make it too late!

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: On behalf of the approximately 40 million deaf and hearing impaired in the United States and Canada, especially those who wear hearing aids, would you pass this message to the TV stations?

I love watching TV: sitcoms, news, dramas, reality shows, all of it. Being hearing impaired, I rely on closed captioning so I don’t miss the story and commercials. But if the station doesn’t provide closed captioning, I will change channels to find a program that does.

In the newsroom, if the producers insist on playing music while the news anchor or onsite reporter is speaking, I can’t hear the story and will change channels. (Speaking of news anchors, enunciation would be appreciated. Actually, that goes for everyone on TV.) And you advertisers? I recommend you view your commercials on mute and see how they come across. I’m still laughing at the credit card commercial that somehow ties dogs and chocolate bars together.

It looks suspiciously like dog droppings. I have no idea what you’re selling.

Hearing aids are wonderful, but they pick up every piece of noise, and background music becomes as loud as the dialogue. It’s impossible to hear what is going on. As our population ages, there will be more hearing impaired persons. And young people aren’t far behind in experiencing hearing loss.

So, TV stations and advertisers, if you want your message to get across to another 40 million customers and fans, please ensure that your audio programming can be clearly heard. Thanks. -- Frustrated Viewer in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada Dear Canada: We cannot tell you how many readers (even those without hearing problems) have complained that they can’t hear dialogue over the background music, and that actors and news anchors don’t articulate sufficiently to be understood. If programmers and advertisers realize that viewers change the channel when listening becomes difficult, perhaps they will pay more attention.

Dear Annie: “Looking for a Relationship, Too” wants to know where the men are. I’ll tell you where we are. We are in hiding. We left the dating pool because there are too many sharks. We are tired of sorting out the gold diggers, scheming manipulators, entitlement princesses, Toxic Thelmas and serial divorcees from the good women who are fewer and farther between.

It is now a dangerous occupation to be a husband and father, so we no longer want long-term intimate relationships with women. -- A Good Man Gone Celibate Dear Celibate: You sound like someone who’s had a bitter experience, and it soured you on all relationships. And while you probably speak for many men, we also wonder whether you are subconsciously attracted to women who come with trouble attached. It is often easier to blame the other party than examine your own issues too closely.

Dear Annie: This is for all the young people looking to go overseas and the parents who would prefer they didn’t.

Our daughter was obsessed with everything Japanese: the people, culture, land, language, food. We knew she would find her way there, with or without our help, so we chose to indulge her obsession. We paid for three trips to Japan, Japanese language classes and a master’s degree that allowed her to get a job there.

She now lives and works in Japan, but we have never seen her happier. Her being so far away gives a whole new meaning to “empty nest syndrome” for us, but it is worth it. -- Bittersweet in S.C. Dear Bittersweet: Your daughter has been blessed with understanding parents who could afford to help her reach her dreams. You are all fortunate indeed.
