City signs on to refugee protection Cranbrook is first to write a declaration protecting refugees, with the EK Friends of Burma and the Canadian Council of Refugees K A I T Y B R OW N Townsman Staff

On Thursday, May 9, Mayor Wayne Stetski of the city of Cranbrook met with locals who are passionate about the rights of refugees and presented an official declaration that Cranbrook is proud to protect refugees.The city is the first to take this step. For about 15 years, the East Kootenay Friends of Burma has been helping people escape persecution in their countries of origin. On Thursday, Shauna Jimenez, an assocation director, praised the way City Hall has responded. “The Kimberley and Cranbrook mayors were

the first in Canada to proclaim that the municipalities each are proud to protect refugees, which is part of the Canadian Council for Refugees’ national campaign,” Jimenez said. “Wayne was actually, I think, the first Mayor out of everymunicipally to proclaim that. “The Canadian Council for Refugees is really proud of Wayne, and the East Kootenay Friends of Burma, who have been sponsoring refugees to this community for about 30 years, is also really proud of Wayne,” she said.

City sending delegates Former jail tough seeks intermittent sentence to China and Korea A R N E P E TRYSHEN Townsman Staff

Cranbrook will be represented in China and Korea next month as two members of council join a delegation to those countries. The delegation is to build on the relationship with two cities in

particular, Wonju, Korea and Taicang, China that began as part of the provincial government’s Asia Pacific Initiative. The province put forward $50,000 regionally for the initiative with the expectation that Cranbrook take a regional

lead in the matter. The initiative sets out to boost B.C.’s economic prosperity by “increasing trade, investment and knowledge collaboration with the economic drivers of the 21st century.”

A former high school boxer who led a vicious beat down of another prisoner at KRCC should be able to serve three months of jail time on weekends, his lawyer argued Thursday. Kyle Walsh, 24, pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm

for an incident that occurred on Dec. 10, 2010. Crown lawyer Iain Currie said the attack on Kevin Winters was planned and executed among inmates within minutes after he was put into the same cell as a man he’d shot months earlier. “Origins of this incident were a gang dispute in the city of Cran-

brook,” Currie told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop. Video provided by the jail showed Walsh conversing with the Cranbrook shooting victim Chad Munroe and other inmates shortly after Winters was placed in the jail unit.

Cranbrook youth band The Good Ol’ Goats were the big winners in this year’s Kootenay Music Awards. The six-piece band, whose members range in age from 16- to 17years old, was named Artist of The Year, as well as Best Roots and Blues artist. Too young to legally enter Spiritbar in Nelson, where the awards were handed out Friday night, one of the band members’ dads accepted the trophies on their behalf. Kootenay Music Award nominees were shortlisted by a panel of five music industry pros,

then the public had a chance to vote daily online for their favourites. The awards went to the artists who collected the most votes. More young talent was highlighted in the Best New Artist category, with 18-year-old Selkirk College music student Dylann Heidi taking the title. Other winners included Fernie’s Shred

Kelly in the Song of the Year and Best Live Act categories. Nelson’s Brian Rosen won Album of The Year for his 2012 release Choose Your Choice. Nelson’s Thus Far won Best Rock/Punk/ Metal; Castlegar’s Motes and Oats received Best Country/Folk; Nelson’s Yan Zombie took home Best Electronic Producer; and Nelson’s Rafferty

Funksmith was named Best DJ. The Kootenay Music Awards is an annual event, now in its second year. Proceeds from the event support a foundation that gives scholarships to musicians.

Radio, Vantage Point, Nelson and District Credit Union, AM Ford, Selkirk College. Other sponsors are Wapiti Music Festival, Kootenay Savings Credit Union, Bee Kissed Body Piercing, Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism, Chatterson Drive, Our Glass, Ric’s Lounge and Grill, Tribute Boardshop and Whitewater Ski Resort.

Local white water enthusiasts took to the rushing waters of Mark Creek last Wednesday evening to try out the new flume section. It is the goal of this group to have a white water feature added to the flume project, which is currently on hold until the City can secure funding. As for Wednesday evening he says there was quite a buzz around the first stage of the flume. “Many spectators, paddlers and neighbours peered over the banks to see what all the excitement was about. Even though

liciting promises of in-kind funding to help hauling rock, etc., to reduce costs. There is a bank account set up at Kootenay Savings in Kimberley called Mark Creek White Water Initiative, and donations are gratefully accepted.

Mark Creek gets paddled by creek boats, never have I seen so many “play boats” in the creek.” He says the group still plans to revisit Council to remind them that they still want to find a way to make the project go ahead.

When discussion first began around the need to rehab the concrete flume in Mark Creek, a group of white water enthusiasts approached Kimberley City Council with the idea of inserting a white water course into the flume. They said it would be a great downtown feature, drawing tourists for competitions. Council was receptive to the idea, but said the group would have to source their own funding, as the City’s primary focus in the project was health and safety. The first phase of the flume, downstream of Highway 95A, is complete and no white water features were added. However, the kayak group had always felt that phase 2 or 3 would be a more appropriate place for the feature. That didn’t stop them from getting out the kayaks this past Wednesday and seeing what kind of fun could be had in the first phase of the project. Turns out quite a bit, says paddler Alex Buterman. ”There wasn’t any mentionable feature for us to report, however it is a step in the right direction,” he said. He says the paddlers still hope that funds can be found for a hydrologist to build safe, accessible and playable features to “maximize the fun in the flume”. Buterman says they are a little disappointed there wasn’t an opportunity for them to inspect the first portion of the flume project for potential white water features, but they remain committed to finding funding. “This really makes me want to push for a hydrologist white water group that actually does water scale modelling and builds safe, usable features.” They have approached the Columbia Basin Trust about funding for a hydrologist and have received some positive encouragement, he says. The group is also so-

Cranbrook agreed to make the proclamation that they are a city that is proud to protect refugees,” she said. Ryeburn, like Jimenez, emphasizes that there shouldn’t be negative connotations about refugees. “This is their initiative, to encourage communities across Canada to declare that they are proud to protect refugees,” she said. “Part of it is a response to media that is going in the other direction because of fears — about terrorism and all sorts of things. “The majority of people who come here as refugees, well actually all of them who come as sponsored refugees, are identified as refugees because they are fleeing from where their lives are in danger.” Ryeburn said that Canada is doing the right thing by offering refugees a place where they can be safe. There is a core group of about six main volunteer directors who are running the East Kootenay Friends of Burma. This group has been spreading, helping other refugee groups in Creston, Nelson and Calgary. Ryeburn said a chapter will soon be starting in Fernie. They have sponsored many refugees from different places including Thailand, Eritrea and Columbia. The Friends of Burma have had an impact the East Kootenay, but in turn, the refugees that come here have made their mark — on not only the city but on the people of Cranbrook. Ryeburn, for one, said that working with the refugees has given her a lot of meaning in her life. “I am really proud of what refugees bring to Cranbrook,” she said. “Just like what the mayor was saying, they increase the diversity here, they bring us a vision of what the world is like that we can’t imagine.”

Refugees are welcome Jiminez said it has been an ongoing quest y the communities to try to correct negative connotations that seem to accompany the subject of immigration. Cranbrook, she said, has been a very supportive and nurturing environment for the refugees. Jimenez said that the Friends of Burma has been sponsoring refugees, getting them out of some perilous situations in their home countries. The Friends have been fighting the stigma that immigrants are somehow unbeneficial to their host communities. “We’re meant to be people who protect refugees, not people who are afraid of refugees,” Jimenez said. With this first step, the Mayor is trying to encourage Cranbrook as a safe haven for refugees. “I want to see Cranbrook become even more multicultural than it already is,” Stetski said. Students of T.M. Roberts Elementary have been learning of how privileged they are in their communities and the importance of welcoming refugees. Joy Poch, a T.M. student, helped create the banner that reads “Proud to Protect Refugees” that was used at Thursday’s proclamation. Adem Salim, from Eritrea, came to the school an told her class about the difficulties people in that country live with on a daily basis. She also said that her class made the banner to show everyone in their community, and hopefully people outside of Cranbrook as well, the importance of welcoming and showing respect to newcomers. Barb Ryeburn, a director of the Friends of Burma, has a lot to say about the significance of the declaration that Cranbrook has made. “We’re thrilled that

City sending delegates to China, Korea Continued from page 1 Mayor Wayne Stetski will be accompanied by Coun. Diana Scott and Kevin Weaver, the city’s economic development officer, as well as seven other representatives from across the Kootenays. Coun. Denise Palleson recommended that it be Scott who went. “She has a good history in Cranbrook, she has a good understanding of the economics that keep the city and the area moving. She’s been involved heavily with the Chamber of Commerce over the years, so she understands business, she understands tourism.

She’s been a journalist here, so she understands a little bit about everything.” Coun. Bob Whetham noted he was not altogether comfortable with council sending another delegate on top of the mayor and EDO as the provincial funding was already accounted for. Coun. Sharon Cross agreed with Whetham, saying that the city was hard pressed to come up with money for Canada Day celebrations. Kevin Weaver, the economic development officer, explained that it was important to have a strong representation on the trip. “You have to remem-

ber that we’re still small players with the communities that we’re dealing with in Asia,” Weaver said. “Having a bit more presence emphasizes that Cranbrook is taking this seriously.” Coun. Gerry Warner said he would support a councillor going as long as it was for the purpose of meeting the expectation of the host communities. Weaver said the delegation would be regarded as a smaller size when compared to most Korean or Chinese delegations. Coun. Angus Davis said he was in support of Scott going. Palleson noted the importance of relation-

ship building for those other communities. “I don’t think we’re used to taking this kind of time to develop a relationship before we get down to the business side of things,” she said. “It’s a learning curve for us but I think we should follow their lead.” The motion to send a

councillor along with the delegation passed. The mayor asked if any other councillors were interested in going. No one else came forward so Councillor Scott it will be. The mayors of Kimberley and Creston are planning to attend as well as a number of

business representatives from Teck, CanFor and Galloway, of which Teck has confirmed. According to city administration’s report, the focus on the China portion of the trip is natural resource exports, post-secondary training through the College of the Rockies

and bringing more tourism to the Kootenays. In Korea, the focus is more on education and tourism, as Wonju is a te chnolo gically-advanced green community with a focus on alternate energy solutions.

Attacker expressed remorse Continued from page 1 The attack began as Walsh, who boxed as an amateur in high school, sucker punched Winters in the back of the head. Winters was then set upon by three other inmates, including Munroe and received a vicious beating for 20 seconds before guards entered the unit. “Winters was just sitting there and he’s obviously struck without warning and goes quickly to the ground,” Currie said. “At no point does Mr. Winters appear to move or fight back.” Currie said Walsh continued to punch and kick Winters as he lay on the ground defenceless. The shooting of Munroe in October of 2009 triggered a gang war and plot to kill a rival drug dealer in Cranbrook. Three men

were convicted in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops earlier this month of counselling murder of one of Winters’ associates. The inmates involved in the beating received sentenced ranging from 12 to 24 months. But defence lawyer Gavin Jones said Walsh is not the same violent young man he was from 18-21, when he revelled in his reputation as a tough guy both in and out of jail. Following the beating, Walsh was placed in isolation and then segregation, where he was locked up 23 hours a day for four months. After his release on strict bail conditions months later, Walsh began training as an apprentice in ironworking and has strictly

observed his court orders since, Jones said. He is now en route to becoming a journeyman. “Since his release Mr. Walsh has made a dedicated effort to turning his life around,” Jones said. But Currie opposed the intermittent sentence, arguing it does not send a message to inmates who might consider similar attacks. The prosecutor asked for a sentence of 18 to 24 months, with Walsh’s changes earning him something on the lower range. A pre-sentence report found Walsh expressed remorse for the attack and has made efforts to change his life. Hyslop reserved judgement on the sentence to a later date.

May is Child Care Month: Help celebrate

R i ta R o m e o

very May, B.C. acknowledges Child Care Month. Since 1982 individuals, organizations and municipalities have celebrated Child Care Month. Child Care Month is a time to recognize the importance of child care to families, and to honour the exceptional work of child care providers in communities around the province. We all want what is best for our children. Choosing quality child care takes time. It’s important to take the time to find care that fits the needs of your child and supports and encourages their healthy development. Research shows the more stimulating and nurturing the early environment, the more positive connections are formed in the brain, which leads to the child thriving in all aspects of life. Young children need to spend their time in caring, responsive, language-rich environments. They need opportunities to play, explore, and learn how to socialize. Quality child care promotes positive social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. One of the key elements of quality child care is the child care provider, so choosing a provider who has your child’s best interest at heart, is vital. Child care providers should be warm, caring and attentive to children’s needs, culturally sensitive and accepting of differences, and should use positive guidance (that teaches rather than punishes). Child care providers should interact and respond to children and their needs, celebrate the child’s successes, and build and nurture confidence and self-esteem.

The environment is another key element to quality child care. The care should be in a facility that is safe, clean, comfortable, and organized. There needs to be enough toys, activities, materials and equipment available to interact with and that are developmentally appropriate for the children using the items. When children are given opportunity to play they learn: how things work, the nature of materials, rhythm, words and ideas, how to cooperate and socialize, how to solve problems, how to use their imaginations, how to use their bodies and that they are capable individuals. There needs to be a balance within the environment that allows for children to rest, to have quiet, to have active play and to have regular outdoor play. Time outdoors is a MUST. There are a number of child care options available and these include licensed or license not required family child care and licensed group child care. Each type of care has different expectations as far as child to staff ratios, maximum number of children in a child care setting at any given time, amount of space required per child and other expectations dependent on the type of care. B.C. law says that child care providers may care for no more than two children or one sibling group at any one time that are not related to the care provider. The

children being cared for are in addition to the child care provider’s own children, children related by blood or marriage, and any other children who ordinarily reside with the child care provider or the provider exercises the parental role over (step children, foster children, etc). If more children are cared for then a child care license is needed. If you are a parent, celebrate Child Care Month by asking your child to draw a picture or make a card for their child care provider, pick flowers for them or bake something together as a special “thank you.” Or if you are a provider, celebrate with a party, having children draw pictures of what child care means to them, raising public awareness about the role that quality child care plays in building a healthy and strong community, or design a new bulletin board to highlight your affiliations, successes, and courses you have taken in order to provide quality child care. Then take time to reflect on the difference you have made in the life of a child! Rita Romeo is Program Coordinator for East Kootenay Child Care Resource and Referral Sections taken from “Child Care Matters – A parent’s guide to choosing quality child care.” For further information on child care requirements, if you are looking for child care or would consider providing child care please call East Kootenay Child Care Resource and Referral (EKCCRR), 250-426-5677 or 1-800-661-2445.

$8,000 raised locally for B.C. Ronald McDonald house Submitted

Cranbrook McDonald’s restaurant would like to thank the community in helping it raise $8,001 for the new Ronald McDonald House B.C. in Vancouver. The funds were raised by the local McDonald’s through its participation in the 20th McHappy Day, a national fundraiser held in more than 1,400 McDonald’s restaurants across Canada. In Cranbrook, all funds raised were earmarked for Ronald McDonald House BC. “This year we once again decided to fundraise for the new Ronald McDonald House that is being built in Vancouver,” said Cranbrook and Fernie McDonald’s owner/ operator David Kaiser. “The House is a home-away-fromhome for children requiring medical treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, and for their families. It provides roughly 400 out-of-town families, many of them from the Kootenays, with a place to stay every year. “And yet due to facility limitations, each year the House must turn away almost as many families as it accepts. That is why a new Ronald McDonald House is in the works.”

Submitted

Cranbrook McDonald’s Owner/Operator Dave Kaiser (second from right) enjoys a coffee break with members of the ACT Service Club as they volunteered on McHappy Day. With the support of the community, our McDonald’s Restaurant raised $8,001 on McHappy Day for the Ronald McDonald House BC in Vancouver. The new Ronald McDonald House will be approximately 75,000 square feet, which will make it the second largest House program in Canada, in an effort to meet the growing demand for family accommodation near BC Children’s Hospital. The estimated cost of construction is $26,750,000. “A new Ronald McDonald House is desperately needed here in B.C., especially for families from our area whose

kids are receiving treatment at the BC Children’s Hospital and they have no place to stay,” said Cranbrook & Fernie McDonald’s Community Relations Representative Courtney Magro. “Considering the high cost of construction for the new House, we wanted to donate our McHappy Day earnings to the Ronald McDonald House BC,” The Cranbrook McDonald’s was joined by members of the Cranbrook Fire Depart-

ment, B104/The Drive radio station and volunteers from the ACT/UCT service club as they rolled up their sleeves to work behind the counter and in the lobby on McHappy Day. Marissa Phillips, a local face painter, also donated her time and delighted kids with her artistry. The Royal Stewart Highland Dancers held a special performance at the restaurant in honour of McHappy Day, as well.

Mooseheads crowned QMJHL champions C ANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX - Stephen MacAulay scored twice as the Halifax Mooseheads beat the Baie-Comeau Drakkar 5-1 Friday night in Game 5 of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final to win its first President’s Cup. The Mooseheads, who joined the league 19 years ago, hosted the Memorial Cup in 19992000, but this is their first trip to the tournament as QMJHL champion. Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and an assist for Halifax, while Jonathan Drouin and Stefan Fournier chipped in as well. Halifax jumped out to an early first-period lead when MacAulay beat Baie-Comeau goalie Philippe Cadorette high to the blocker side with a wrist shot. Fournier and Drouin added goals less than two minutes apart later in the opening period to

give the Mooseheads a commanding 3-0 lead. Fournier scored his 16th goal of the playoffs - the most in the QMJHL’s post-season - as he collected a rebound and slipped a back-hander past Cadorette for a power-play goal at 13:19 of the first. Drouin scored on a rebound after MacKinnon intercepted a pass at the Halifax blue-line and streaked in on net while the Drakkar were making a line change. He deked Cadorette, but his shot hit the post and the rebound went to Drouin who banged the puck into an open net. Baie-Comeau chipped away at the lead with a second-period goal from Russian winger Valentin Zykov, but couldn’t get any closer. MacKinnon padded the lead with the nifty deflection with 6:08 left in the game and MacAulay added an empty-netter with 1:19 left.

Winterhawks clinch WHL championship over Oil Kings C ANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON - The Portland Winterhawks earned some redemption in the Western Hockey League final. After reaching the final three years in a row, the Winterhawks finally won the Ed Chynoweth Cup with a 5-1 victory over the defending champion Edmonton Oil Kings in Game 6 on Sunday. Last season the Winterhawks lost out to the Oil Kings in a 4-3 series decision, and the year previous to the Kootenay Ice by a 4-1 margin. “To win a championship, never mind getting here two times before and losing, it’s very special,” said Portland head coach Travis Green. “We had a real determined group this year. We had a real mature group this year for such a young team. You learn a lot when you get here twice and lose. I think we did a lot of learning and our group was real even-keeled this year.” Ty Rattie’s hat trick, which included a pair

of short-handed goals, led Portland, with Oliver Bjorkstrand and Taylor Leier adding singles. “(Rattie’s) a special player and we really needed a big game out of Ty tonight,” added Green. “You get to this point in the season your best players have to be your best players to win.” Travis Ewanyk had the lone goal for Edmonton. “It’s a tough way to go out but we’re very proud of the group of kids in there,” said Edmonton head coach Derek Laxdal. “The kids were focused today to start the game, we earned some scoring chances. Without the short-handed goals it could be a different game. Portland really shut down our power play in the series... I wouldn’t say it was the difference, but it definitely didn’t help. It’s tough to get back to the finals after winning it. I appreciate what this team did and I’m very proud of them. ”

HIGH SCHOOL RUGBY

A Mount Baker Wild rugby player attempts to break through Rossland’s defence during a match at Parkland Middle School on Friday afternoon.

Wild rugby beats regional rivals TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The kids are alright. The Mount Baker Wild rugby squad won two games over regional rivals in Rossland and Nelson during a pair of matches on Friday afternoon at Parkland Middle School. The Wild faced down a team out of Rossland Secondary School for their first match, winning by 26-20 on tries from Tallon Creber, Logan Marion and a pair from Sid Verma. Creber also added three conversions.

Head Coach Sean Sinclair described it as a very physically demanding game. “It was a little higher scoring, but it was a very physical, very hard-hitting game,” Sinclair said. “…It kind of went back and forth a bunch of times and I think we ended up winning on converts.” The Rossland squad was short a few bodies, so the two teams agreed to field 11 players a side, which opened up the field a bit and created more scoring opportunities, added Sinclair.

Their following match was their most anticipated one of the season, as they faced L.V. Rogers Secondary—a team out of Nelson that has been undefeated for the last few years. After a battle on the pitch, the match ended with a score of 17-14 in favour of the Wild. Tries

came from Branden Metters, Matt Rushworth and Sid Verma, while Tallon Creber had three conversions. Sinclair’s squad had faced them before and lost, however, it was a close match even though the Wild had been held scoreless. Beating them this time was a big team accomplishment, Sinclair added. “This time, to actually be able to compete and put in a couple [tries] against them and eventually end up higher in the scoreboard was

pretty cool,” Sinclair said. Sinclair said his team’s rucking ability and aggressive backs were instrumental towards the win. “Our backs are starting to see holes now, and accelerate through them, so now the Nelson defence is on their back foot and struggling to hold us,” he said. The two teams will meet in Nelson this Wednesday where the stakes are a lot higher, as they battle for regional representation at provincials.

Canada into quarterfinals at world championship DONNA SPENCER Canadian Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Jeff Skinner wasn’t on the ice much, but made a huge impact in Canada’s 2-1 win over the Czech Republic at the IIHF World Championship on Sunday. The Carolina Hurricanes forward scored on an end-to-end rush after weaving through the Czech defence and burying a wraparound behind goalie Ondrej Pavelec at 6:55 of the third period. His goal stood up as the winner as Canada

(5-0-1) secured a quarter-final berth in the tournament. “Any goal when you play for your country is pretty cool,” Skinner said. His eight minutes 48 seconds of ice time was the least among Canadian forwards Sunday as the 20-year-old from Markham, Ont., wears the Maple Leaf in his third world championship. His eighth career goal was a memorable one. “When I got over the red (line) I knew I didn’t want to dump it in and

when I was at the hash marks, I saw the goalie a little bit out and challenging the shot,” Skinner said. “When he was cutting off my angle, I just tried to take it around the weak side and again, I think it sort of bounced off something. “I just sort of guessed and guessed right.” Wayne Simmonds scored his first of the tournament for Canada, while defenceman Dan Hamhuis led all Canadian players in ice time and shifts despite joining the team the previ-

ous day. Mike Smith made 30 saves for his second win of the tournament and also picked up an assist on Skinner’s goal. “It was off my left pad and kind of kicked it into the corner,” the Phoenix Coyotes goaltender said. “It was a wellplaced rebound, let’s say. It would have been nice to pass it, but I’ll take it. “Skinny did the rest. The kid can skate pretty well, took it end to end and got a big goal for us.” Petr Koukal replied for the Czechs (3-3-0),

whose quarter-final prospects depend on beating Norway on Tuesday. The Czechs won the bronze medal the last two years. Pavelec, who plays for the Winnipeg Jets, stopped 23 shots in taking the loss in front of a crowd of 6,117 at the Globe Arena. “I’m not very satisfied we only scored one goal in the game,” Czech head coach Alois Hadamczik said via an interpreter. “This was the first time we really played our game at the tournament.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Tension rises because your vision seems to be in direct conflict with what is really going on. Deal with a domestic situation head-on, as it is taking you away from other important matters. A serious discussion likely will evolve as a result. Tonight: Stay present in the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone keeps distracting you. In the middle of a conversation, you could find your mind drifting off to other places. It might take some time, but clear out the distraction as soon as possible. Only then can you be more receptive. Tonight: A partner tries to be easygoing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be witnessing the aftermath of a very busy period. For some reason, you can’t seem to complete everything that you feel needs to be done. Recognize that you are only human. Consider delegating part of your work. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your mind might be drifting off to yonder lands, but realize that you need to be present in the moment. Call on your self-discipline. If this wandering continues, you’ll want to consider taking a trip with a loved one in the near future. Tonight: Lighten up the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take your time with a decision, especially if it involves family or a loved one. At the present moment, you might not be seeing the situation clearly, or perhaps you just don’t have all the information you need and want. Ask questions. Tonight: Weigh the pros and cons. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Zero in on what you need to accomplish. You will want to think through a question more thoroughly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be taken aback by

For Better or Worse

someone’s unusual ideas and direction. You might want to proceed in a completely different manner. Honor a change that forces you to rein in your thoughts. Consider being practical for a week or two. Tonight: Out late with friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can let go of a difficult situation if you so desire. Only at that point will you be able to detach sufficiently in order to gain a new perspective. You might want to have a long-overdue discussion once you discover a different answer or solution. Tonight: Brainstorm with a buddy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal with a loved one directly, and know full well that you first must get a personal matter resolved in your mind. You do not need to agree, but you do need to understand where the other party is coming from. Be a good listener. Tonight: Keep a conversation going. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Defer to others. You might want some time to explore a unique idea, and you’ll want to make

some phone calls. A friend could be unusually negative, and, in a sense, you might feel as if this person is trying to rain on your parade. Tonight: Say “yes” to someone’s offer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could see confusion developing over a money matter. You might be wondering when would be an appropriate time to establish stronger boundaries. A serious discussion with a respected friend gives you a good sense about which way to go. Tonight: Remain nurturing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might not be ready to see a situation in its cold, stark reality. Make it OK to see only part of what is happening, despite feedback from others. Follow your intuition, and it will guide you. As a result, you will be able to gain some clarity. Tonight: Relax with a loved one.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a single mom of a 4-yearold boy who is being abused by my ex-husband and his wife. After a visit, he comes home bruised and scratched with black eyes. He has had scabies more than a dozen times. The worst thing is that my son was just diagnosed with PTSD. I don’t speak negatively about his father. But when it’s time for my son to visit him, he cries and begs to stay home. He says, “Daddy hurts me, and I’m scared of him.” My son sees a child therapist, and she is worried for his mental health. My son’s teachers, pediatrician and therapist have all called Child Protective Services, but for some reason, they don’t investigate. I was told they don’t consider this abuse. How can people say that? My son has such horrible nightmares after coming home from his Dad’s house that he has bedtime accidents. I have gone to court and used all of my money to retain lawyers, and I have lost every time. I am now broke and on the verge of going on the run to protect him. What can I do? Is there anybody who can help? -- Angela, No State, Please Dear Angela: We do not understand how Child Protective Services could ignore abuse reports from teachers, pediatricians and therapists. Something isn’t adding up. We called the Department of Children and Family Services in Chicago, and they suggested you contact your state child abuse hotline and report the situation. You also can try the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) (childhelp.org). Dear Annie: My husband and I are a blended family with grown stepchildren and grandchildren. His three married kids all have triple-digit incomes and own upscale homes. I have two daughters, neither of whom makes that kind of money. How do we keep things equal when it comes to gift giving? After all, his children will receive more of our assets compared to mine. How do you make this fair when there are 10 recipients on one side and four on the other? (Don’t even get me started on inheritances.) -- Don’t Want My Kids Shortchanged Dear Don’t: Are these gifts given jointly, or do you spend on your kids and he spends on his? If the former, each child should get gifts of equal value. If the latter, he gets to decide what he spends, and so do you, equal or not. The fact that his children are better off doesn’t mean they should be punished any more than yours should be rewarded for having less. Please do not let this become an issue of contention with your husband. The partner with the greater income has an obligation to take on a greater share of the financial burden within the marriage, but that does not necessarily extend to grown children and grandchildren. The two of you should talk to an estate planner now about what will happen down the road, and be sure you can accept the outcome. Dear Annie: “Retired Teacher” said that school counselors are not helpful when it comes to family or emotional issues. I am here to assure you that “Retired Teacher” is wrong. In my 14 years as a high school counselor, I have wiped many tears, counseled thousands of students, held hundreds of family counseling sessions (after school, unpaid) and helped students work through death, suicide, rape and more. My former students often seek me out for advice after graduation and have invited me to their weddings and baby showers. Several students, and their parents, have commented that I am the ONLY adult they will confide in. -- Green Bay High School Counselor Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Spanish police nab sunbathing British fugitive

Harold Heckle Associated Press

MADRID, Spain — Spanish police snuck up on a British fugitive as he sunbathed, arresting him in a dramatic raid that even saw the suspect leap onto the roof of a nearby outhouse to try to get away. The arrest of Andrew Terence Moran, 31, on Friday came some four years after he assaulted and escaped from security guards during an armed robbery trial in the United Kingdom. Moran was found at a luxury villa in Calpe, a resort on the Alicante coast, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, an Interior Ministry statement said Sunday. Police video footage showed how officers stealthily approached a swimming pool while hiding behind walls be-

fore pouncing on Moran as he relaxed in red swimming trunks. As soon as police jumped over the walls, Moran tried to flee, leaping onto the tiled roof of a pool-side outhouse before being captured. According to Britain’s Serious Organized Crime Agency, police also seized two handguns, 60 rounds of ammunition and a machete. “Moran thought he could evade capture fleeing to Spain, frequently changing his appearance and using false identities,’’ said Matt Burton, SOCA’s head of investigations. Moran and an associate, Stephen Devalda, 29, were accused of stealing 25,000 pounds (US$38,400) from a mail van in Colne, northwest England, using a hand-

convicted in his absence of conspiracy to commit armed robbery. Alerted to his presence near the Mediterranean coast, Spanish police tracked him down last November. However, Moran managed to get away after

using his vehicle to ram two belonging to the police and driving off at high speed on the wrong side of a highway. A search of the house he had been living in at the time uncovered a handgun, ammunition, and five

kilos (11 pounds) of cannabis, among other items. Moran is due to appear in a Madrid court on Monday where a judge will begin extradition proceedings. Devalda was arrested in March 2011 at a

hotel in the southern luxury resort of Marbella. He was extradited to Britain where he was sentenced to nine years and eight months in jail for conspiracy to commit armed robbery and seven months for jumping bail.

They’re due to land in Kazakhstan about three and-a-half hours later. A helicopter will take them to a local airport, where a waiting NASA plane will fly them to Houston, Texas. While he’s happy to be heading home, Hadfield says both he and his crew “would come back given the opportunity.’’

volcano spewed a plume of steam more than a half mile (1 kilometre) into the sky. The volcano shook during Saturday night, sometimes emitting glowing rock over the crater. The government deployed soldiers and federal police to the area Sunday in the event of a bigger eruption, and officials closed off a seven square mile (18 square kilometre) zone around the cone of the 17,886-foot (5,450meter) volcano. State authorities prepared shelters. Popocatepetl has put out small eruptions of ash almost daily since a round of activity began in 1994. The eruptions started strengthening two weeks ago and have increased even more this weekend.
