Cranbrook Council backs Design of new ward revealed Interior Health will soon seek a general contractor for new $10 a day for childcare Intensive Care Unit at East Kootenay Regional Hospital A RNE PE TRYSHEN
Cranbrook City Council has backed a resolution that calls for $10 a day childcare in the province. The resolution was brought forward in the Oct. 21 regular meeting by Coun. Sharon Cross. “This plan would put 17,189 more women into the workforce and the province would collect $667 million more in taxes,” Cross said. Cross then read the resolution: “Whereas the lack of childcare in the Cranbrook area means that people are turning away local jobs and not living here or they are having to
leave the area, which is an economic barrier for businesses and services in our community; and whereas the $10 a day childcare plan offers a concrete solution to the childcare crisis facing B.C. families; be it therefore resolved that the City of Cranbrook endorse the community plan for a public system of integrated Early Care and Learning.” The $10 a day program is proposed by the Coalition of Childcare Advocates of B.C. and the Early Childhood Educators of B.C.

Interior Health has unveiled its design for a new ward that will soon be attached to Cranbrook’s hospital. The new Intensive Care Unit (ICU) will be about 8,500 square feet and contain six patient rooms. The nurses’ station will be in the centre of the ward. Family spaces will line one side of the ward. “We will integrate some family spaces so that they can meet with physicians in a private and comfortable setting,” Interior Health’s
Todd Mastel told the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District (KERHD) board on Friday, Nov. 1. Large windows in the new ICU will maximize natural light. “We are really trying to maximize the natural light available as well versus the lack of light we currently have in our ICU.” Intensive Care is where the sickest patients are treated. Currently, the hospital has a small, cramped four-bed ICU. The new ICU will be built onto the southern side of the hospital, beside the mobile MRI unit.
“An incredible amount of dedication and effort went into to making this project a reality and it is rewarding for the community to have the opportunity to get a look at what the new intensive care unit will actually look like once complete,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. “The new ICU will not only increase capacity, but the design will incorporate a number of features that will benefit patients, their families and staff at the hospital.”

RCMP report quiet Halloween in Cranbrook and Kimberley Neither Kimberley or Cranbrook RCMP reported any major incidents or damage over Halloween. Kimberley received a report of persons looking for cash donations to the food bank while trick or treating. The callers were suspicious as they didn’t believe the food bank canvassed in that manner. No money was passed on.
A report of an erratic driver was received, officers located the vehicle and found two firearms that didn’t belong to the occupants, who could neither produce the proper documentation. The firearms were seized and returned to the owner. Around noon a driver was stopped and he showed signs of alcohol consumption. He was given a breath test and received a three-day
driving suspension. Cranbrook received 17 calls for service. Two three-day driving probations were handed out and one-24 hour by drugs. There was two liquor infractions and several Motor Vehicle Act tickets issued. An arrest warrant was executed on a subject for charges out of Vernon. Overall it appears everyone enjoyed a safe Halloween.

With the design phase complete, Interior Health expects to go to tender for the general contractor early in 2014. “After we tender early in the new year, we are hoping to start construction in the spring when the frost comes out of the ground in March,” said Mastel. The goal is to have the ICU complete by the middle of 2016. “The excitement on these projects always builds when people have a chance to see what the end result will be,” said Interior Health board chair Norman

Building supply honours MBSS holding awarded to Home Hardware first concert ahead of European trip Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
Cranbrook’s Home Hardware store recently won an award for outstanding building supply store in B.C. The Orion Award is issued through the Building Supply Industry Association of British Columbia. Cranbrook’s store was up against 736 other full-service building supply stores in the province. “It’s always nice to get recognition because you always hope that you are doing the right things for your custom-
ers,” said Martin Torgerson, owner of Home Hardware in Cranbrook. Torgerson explained that the building association uses mystery shoppers to visit the stores anonymously and grade all aspects of the store. “They grade you, for instance, on things like when you come in the door, are you greeted? How long does it take for a service person to come ask you if you need help?” Torgerson said. “From there it’s your product knowledge. They’ll walk
around for a half hour in the yard. It’s not a popularity contest, it’s a standard to the stores. We set a fairly high standard here and we adhere to it.” Torgerson and his wife Dawn moved to Cranbrook 15 years ago and took over the Beaver Lumber franchise. Beaver Lumber then sold its portion to Home Hardware. He explained that Home Hardware isn’t a franchise, it’s a buying co-operative. “We own the business, Home Hardware is the brand,” he said.
“A couple times a year they go in and they grade you on exterior and interior appearance, merchandising, expediency of service, attitude of staff, presentation, product knowledge, check-out service.” Home Hardware is in the largest category of full-service stores. The store also won the Orion award back in 2006. Torgerson said there’s not really anything special they’ve done to prepare either time, since they have no idea when the mystery
shopper will arrive. Even then they only know that they’ve been visited much later when the report comes out. At Home Hardware, the mystery shopper also asked for help on building a deck. Torgerson said the person was taken to contract sales, where someone designed the deck using a program, gave him a drawing and material list. Torgerson said the next step is just to continue with the high standard that they are already setting.

B a r ry Co u lt e r
After a couple of months of rehearsals and preparation, the Mount Baker Secondary School Music Department is launching an intense musical month of November, beginning with its first concert of the year Tuesday, Nov. 5. All six of the department’s performance groups are taking the stage at the Key City Theatre, says MBSS Music Instructor Evan Bueckert. “It’s like being born again every September, with a whole new crew of students,” Bueckert said. “We’ve get some great students from the feeder schools (Kootenay Christian Academy and Laurie and Parkland Middle Schools) and we put them all together into one concert band — the Junior Concert Band, which is kicking off the concert. “A lot of these younger students have talked about how they’ve gone to see Baker concerts over the years, and how much they admired the musicians. So now they get to take the stage themselves. It’s very exciting.” Every year, Bueckert said, there is a new Baker sound, with the new and veteran musicians, new balances, new repertoire. Tuesday’s program offers a chance for the ensembles to jump in with both feet, and showcase that new sensibility for the year to come. Following the Junior Concert Band performance the Senior Concert Band will take the stage. “After they perform, we’re bringing out the fabulous Mount Baker Tour Choir, that’s going to Vienna and Prague at the end of November,” Bueckert said. “They’re going to give the audience one piece — a teaser — and when we
get back from Europe we’re going to give a Christmas concert.” After the Tour Choir performance, the stage will fill with the rest of the concert choir — 120 voices — who will perform some “fun pop tunes just to get things going, some Stevie Wonder and some Coldplay.” Then after an intermission, the Jazz ensembles will perform, starting with the Vocal Jazz Ensemble — 16 select students who auditioned and who’ve been hand-picked — and accompanying rhythm section. The concert will finish up with the 25-piece Jazz Band. “It’s usually the most raucous of the ensembles,” Bueckert said, “with lots of soloing and improvising.” The concert takes place Tuesday, Nov. 5, showtime at 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 7 p.m.). Admission is by donation. Bueckert said all donations are going to help the Choir on its trip to Europe, which takes place at the end of November. The MBSS Choir has been invited to take part in an international choir festival in Vienna, and is the only Canadian group to be appearing. They will perform at the main hall at Vienna City Hall, and also at the 1,000-year-old Melk Abbey just outside Vienna, reputed to have the best acoustics in Europe. “People travel from all over the world just to hear choirs there,” Bueckert said. Following the Vienna sojourn, the Choir will travel to Prague in the Czech Republic, as a more informal adventure. Bueckert said they will be performing five shows at local high schools, meeting other students, singing for each other and comparing notes.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
War on Drugs
Another federal prison is not needed. What we do need is to end the “War on Drugs,” which has been a failure. It hasn’t worked. We need to reduce the prison population and prison costs. Legalizing marijuana is not just the morally proper and logical direction to take, but a financial and socially beneficial direction. Take the statistics on the percentage of the prison population with drug convictions with a grain of salt – but only a grain. The exact numbers do not affect the argument. So, I’ll say that something like 30 per cent of those imprisoned are in there on a drug conviction, mostly for possessing or distributing the “evil weed.” That is probably a conservative number. The majority of these people are young, in their 20s and 30s. Incidentally, the prison population percentage is much higher in the U.S., yet our government is moving towards more convictions, emulating that corrupt and dysfunctional system. I once asked a friend who is a federal judge: “George (not his real name), of those you’ve convicted of a violent crime, how many were high on marijuana?” His answer: “None.” How many were drunk? “Most of them.” Drunk people get nasty and/or stupid. High people get passive “Hey man, chill out; relax.” Liquor is legal; marijuana is not. All those young people in prison are not paying taxes. Instead, prison costs are a massive drain on the federal budget. Studies have shown that switching to providing social support instead of incarcerating people would be far cheaper and would result in those thousands of inmates working, paying taxes, buying consumer goods and improving, not draining, the economy. (Are you right wingers listening?) We’ve all heard that our social system costs are heading towards a cliff. The increase in the average age of Canadians is continuing. That means an increasingly lower percentage of younger taxpayers to support that social system. We cannot afford to continue imprisoning our young taxpayers. We cannot afford to lose the social system benefits and we cannot afford to build and staff more prisons. John Allen Kimberley
Shirley & Pat Rossi
Thank you Shirley and Pat Rossi for making this community so special for the kids, youth and parents for an amazing 51 years! It took them eight full days of work every year, motivated with love of their community and children, to set up their amazing Halloween yard and house, plus baking goodies to hand out as well. I stopped by last night and went inside to get the best candy apple I have ever tasted and I felt there was some sadness in their souls … how could there not be, most of us can’t imagine doing something for their community for 51 years, watching all the children come through the doors and then grow into parents and bring their children. What they must have seen, that only they can share. Pat and Shirley, I applaud you for your generosity to us and for making this community the cool place it is to live, instilling a sense of pride where we live. I hope that never ends. Your creative home and hard work will be carried in many childhood memories for many years to come. The community will truly miss it! Thank you from all of us. Bev Middlebrook Kimberley City Councillor and Candy Apple Kid at Heart
Natural Heritage
This year marks Teck’s 100th anniversary and, over the course of the last century, our people have helped build communities, create jobs and responsibly develop resources across B.C. Today, our employees still live and work in these communities, and they are dedicated to making sure that the vibrant economy and natural splendour of the places they live will be maintained for future generations. Those values have also shaped our approach to business over the years, and ingrained a deep commitment to responsible, sustainable resource development at Teck. That’s why, when several blocks of private land in the Kootenays were recently offered for sale, we realized we had a unique opportunity to put those shared
values into action on a large scale. To ensure that this land is protected, we have announced that Teck will invest $19 million to purchase three blocks totalling approximately 7,150 hectares in the Elk Valley and Flathead River Valley. The three land blocks are the Grave Prairie site northeast of Sparwood, the Alexander Creek site east of Sparwood, and the Flathead Townsite southeast of Sparwood in the Upper Flathead region. It’s important to emphasize – Teck is buying this land not for any future mining development, but to ensure that this key wildlife habitat in the Kootenays is conserved as a legacy now and for the future. Each of these areas are important habitat for numerous wildlife and fish species, including grizzly bear, wolverine, badger, elk, lynx, mountain goat, bighorn sheep, westslope cutthroat trout and bull trout, as well as holding significant cultural value for the Ktunaxa Nation. This purchase demonstrates how world class mining can facilitate world class environmental management. This investment represents one of the single biggest private sector investments in land conservation in British Columbia history. In the months ahead, we will be having conversations with stakeholders and determining the specific management and stewardship approaches for these lands. But the most important step – securing the land for conservation– has been achieved with this investment. And as the operator of five steelmaking coal mines in B.C.’s Elk Valley which directly employ over 4,000 people, we know how important it is we strike the right balance between the economy and environment of the region. Investing to conserve this land was made possible by mining and, when combined with our ongoing work to reclaim mining areas as wildlife and fish habitat, it will help ensure we continue to strike that balance. By working collaboratively with communities, First Nations and other stakeholders, we know we can achieve our shared goal of having both world-class mining and a world-class environment. Marcia Smith Senior Vice President, Sustainability & External Affairs Teck
Fairmont Hot Springs
Jury recommends more police tools after inquest Steve Hubrecht Columbia Valley Pioneer
Two jury recommendations have come out of the recent inquest into the death of Fairmont Hot Springs resident Patrick Roy Wilder. Wilder, 58, was a lifelong valley resident as well as a founder and former owner of Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, and took his life at the family home with three police officers present on the evening of Tuesday, May 10, 2011. The five-member jury (comprised of local residents) classified the incident as suicide. The first recommendation was for the commanding officer of the RCMP (E-Division) and the chiefs of all municipal police departments in B.C. to review practices and policies related to the current file man-
agement systems, and ensure appropriate retention periods for information relating to the confirmed suicide attempts and other mental health incidences in which police and medical intervention is required. “We’re thinking relevant historical data can be a useful tool in developing an appropriate (police) response,” said the jury foreperson. The second recommendation was for the provincial minister of health to consider the feasibility of establishing a network of mental health professionals to assist front line police officers during their investigations of and interactions with suicidal people. The first recommendation stemmed from earlier testimo-
ny, in which the jury heard that the police did not have knowledge of two earlier suicide attempts (both made the same night in 2003) by Wilder while in RCMP custody. Records of the 2003 incidences were no longer on file, since records about mental health incidents are purged after a few years. Officers present at the 2011 incident testified in the inquest that knowing about the 2003 incidences would have helped them deal with the 2011 situation. Staff Sgt. Shehovac testified that local members of the Columbia Valley RCMP have no say on determining how long files can be kept before being purged and that a similar loss of records could easily occur again.
“I think an appropriate recommendation certainly when dealing with attempted suicides is to have longer (file) retention,” said Staff Sgt. Shehovac. One of the jurors asked Staff Sgt. Shehovac if he thought it would be helpful to have a patrol of specialized mental health workers. “In an ideal world, I could have a priest, a psychologist and a mental health worker with me in the back of the (police) car all the time,” said Staff Sgt. Shehovac, adding that there are mental health patrols in Vancouver, but it would be hard to get them in a small, rural setting. The inquest was held in Invermere court from Monday, Oct. 21 to Thursday, Oct. 24.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ince is unlikely to suddenly step in and say, “Let me give you a hand with that”. They can’t afford it either. But there is something the province can do and that’s move quickly to amend the Wildlife Act so that a method of population control that could work — that being hazing or aversive conditioning — would be allowed. Anyone dealing with urban deer knows that controlling the population is best done through a variety of methods. In certain areas, only a cull will work. In other areas though, hazing could be very successful. And, with the costs of trapping rising, hazing could actually be more cost effective. But communities in B.C. cannot haze deer. It’s against the Wildlife Act. Even though it is done with great success on elk in the National Park towns of Banff and Jasper. Even though an experiment last year in Kimberley clearly showed that aversive conditioning can work. Why is there resistance to amending the Act? There does not appear to have been any movement on the issue since the trial hazing in Kimberley last spring. This is something the province can do to assist communities with an urban deer problem. It’s something tangible that doesn’t have to cost the province a lot of money. So what’s the hold up? Carolyn Grant is the Editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin

KOOTENAY ICE
Comrie brothers lead Americans to 4-2 win against Ice TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
A Tri-City squad with a lot of local connections rolled into Cranbrook and melted the Ice with a 4-2 victory in the third game of a road trip that includes five different stops in WHL cities. Led by local product and head coach Jim Hiller on the bench, the Americans snapped a 2-2 tie late in the third period, and added an empty netter for the win. Standing in goal for Tri-City was Eric Comrie, who turned away 30 shots for the win, while younger brother Ty Comrie added some scoring with a goal up front. The two are younger siblings to former Kootenay Ice sniper Mike Comrie, who joined the team for half a season in 2001 before turning pro with the Edmonton Oilers. It was former Ice general manager Bob Tory who brought the elder Comrie from university hockey into the WHL and the same man who has managed the TriCity Americans for the last dozen years. It was also the first and only chance all season that Ryan Chynoweth would get to
face his former team. Chynoweth was property of the Everett Silvertips before being dealt to TriCity for most of the season last year. After dismantling the Lethbridge Hurricanes 8-1 on Saturday night, the Americans invaded Western Financial Place and generated a 2-0 lead in the opening 20 minutes. Ty Comrie scored first, sneaking a shot under a sprawled Mackenzie Skapski on a play that started with a turnover in the Ice defensive zone. Team captain Mitch Topping doubled the lead 10 minutes later, snapping a shot from the point that redirected off a Kootenay stick into the net. “It’s tough, they got an unfortunate bounce on the second one there, but you can’t get down, you just gotta keep going,” said Ice forward Luke Philp. “We had a good couple first shifts there, so you just got to build off that and forget that the score is 2-0.” The two teams were equal in shots after the first frame, but Comrie was still unbeaten, and one of the main reasons why the Kootenay squad was still scoreless.

Kootenay Ice forward Austin Vetterl battles for the puck in front of Tri-City Americans goaltender Eric Comrie on Sunday night at Western Financial Place. Comrie was a second-round pick by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2013 NHL Draft, and will likely challenge for a job at the World Junior Championships with Team Canada. The Americans goaltender proved to be a tough puzzle for the Kootenay offence to solve. “You got to drive to the net,” said Philp. “If he can see it, he’s probably going to stop it, so you
got to get in his face a little, you got to work hard for those second and third chances, because that’s how you beat a goalie of his calibre and we didn’t do enough of that tonight.” The tide turned a bit in the second period, as the Ice got on the board with a little help from special teams. After two minutes of solitary confinement in the penalty box, Ice defenceman Jagger Dirk busted out
and jumped in on the play, rushing the puck into the offensive zone and firing a cross-crease pass to Austin Vetterl, who tipped home his third goal of the season. Kootenay’s special teams went to work in the third period again, and Philp capitalized with a bomb from the blue line to even up the game at 2-2. However, it wouldn’t stay knotted for too long. Four minutes later,
Creston thunders past Nitros in standings TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
It was deja vu for the Kimberley Dynamiters on Saturday night, as they lost 5-2 to the visiting Creston Valley Thundercats. The night before, they dropped their first game of the home and home series in Creston by the very same score. Creston scored four goals during the third period in Kimberley—three of them on the powerplay—to pull ahead to a 5-2 victory in hostile territory. Nitro goaltender Jeremy Mousseau turned away 24 shots, while the Dynamiters put 23 shots on T-Cats goalie Brock Lefebvre. Kimberley jumped ahead to a first-period lead on a goal from Bryce Perpelitz, but Logan Styler responded in the middle frame on one of
Creston’s four powerplay markers. Kimberley jumped ahead early in the third period on a goal from Dylan Sibbald, but then the penalty trouble began.
Styler got his second goal of the game with the man-advantage to tie it up, and Trevor Hanna put Creston ahead a few minutes later. Colby Livingstone and Brandon Formosa both capi-
talized on powerplay goals by the end of the period. The T-Cats were deadly on special teams, with four goals in eight opportunities, while shutting out the Nitros on seven of their chances with the man-advantage. Earlier, on Friday night, Creston scored a quick pair of deflating goals in the third period to end a possible comeback from the Kimberley squad. The T-Cats drew blood first on a shorthanded goal from Marcel Fuchs, and then went to work on the powerplay in the second period, as Hanna doubled the lead. The Nitros responded just over a minute later on a goal from Brandon Bogdanek, but Formosa restored the two goal lead shortly after on another powerplay effort. Bogdanek scored his second of the game with the
man-advantage early in the third period to pull the Dynamiters within one, however, Creston stayed on the attack. Tyler Podgorenko and Hanna both scored two quick goals at the halfway mark to put the game out of reach for Kimberley. Tyson Brouwer stood in goal for the Dynamiters, making 31 saves in defeat, while Lefebvre manned the crease for Creston, making 25 stops. With the pair of wins, Creston Valley jumps up into first place in the Eddie Mountain Division, while dropping the Nitros to third in a tie with the Fernie Ghostriders. Fernie has a pair of games in hand, therefore, they take second place honours—for now. NOTES: The Nelson Leafs, 17 games into the season, still haven’t lost a game in regulation (15-0-1-1), and sit on top of the KIJHL standings.
Brian Williams trailed the play all alone into the Kootenay zone and wired a high wrister past Skapski on a feed from Connor Rankin in the corner. Marcus Messier added an empty net goal in the final minute as Kootenay searched for the equalizer with six attackers on the ice. Eric Comrie said TriCity’s plan was to keep up a high-paced tempo and key in on Kootenay’s offensive weapons in Sam Reinhart, Jaedon Descheneau and Tim Bozon. “You got to be careful, they’re a dangerous team,” said Comrie, “and they’re going to be a dangerous team in the league this year.” Kootenay has faced two other U.S. Division teams so far this year, losing to the Seattle Thunderbirds and Portland Winterhawks. All five division teams are above 0.500 and in the Western Conference playoff race. “It seems like every year the U.S. Division is really good and Everett and Seattle are really doing good this year after a couple down years—now they’re doing really good and
coming back really strong,” said Comrie. “It’s really good to see for our division that every single game’s a battle for us and we got to make sure that we compete every single game.” The game was played in front of the smallest crowd of the season, with an announced attendance of 1,987. Kootenay now occupies sixth place in the Eastern Conference, tied up at 18 points with the Regina Pats and Brandon Wheat Kings, with a game in hand. NOTES: The Ice have a one-day break on Monday, but return to Western Financial Place on Tuesday to host the Calgary Hitmen, which are battling for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Team Alberta won the Western Canada U-16 Challenge Cup in Calgary, a tournament that features WHL prospects from across the four western provinces. Ice prospects Connor Barley and Vince Loschiavo won bronze with Team Manitoba, while fellow Kootenay prospects Declan Hobbs and Drew Warkentine suited up for Team Saskatchewan.
Glenn Howard defeats Kevin Martin 7-4 at Masters Grand Slam final C ANADIAN PRESS
ABBOTSFORD, B.C. - Glenn Howard of Coldwater, Ont., won the first stop on the Grand Slam of Curling, completing his unbeaten run Sunday by defeating Edmonton’s Kevin Martin 7-4 at the Masters final. It’s the sixth time Howard has won the event. Howard broke a 2-2 tie by scoring four points in the fifth end. Martin cut the margin to two in the sixth end, but Howard put up one more point in the seventh to seal the victory. The win leaves Howard and his teammates Wayne Middaugh, Brent Laing and Craig Savill as the only rink still in the running to capture the $1 million prize available for sweeping all four Grand Slam events. “We’re off to a great start, and to win a Grand Slam is the pinnacle,” said Howard. “You have the best of the best. All the best teams are here and to win that, you have to be doing something special.” Meanwhile, Ottawa’s Rachel Homan beat Scotland’s Eve Muirhead 7-5 in the women’s final. Homan led 5-2 after four ends, but Muirhead made a late rally with two in the seventh end to cut the deficit to 6-5 before Homan held on with a point in the eighth.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll want to be more in sync with someone. Realize that you might have to initiate a conversation with this person. It could seem as though neither of you is getting the whole story. Maintain a sense of humor, and the process will be a lot easier. Tonight: Surf the Web. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Deal with a partner or key person directly in the afternoon. You tend to be on different pages, and you need to bridge the gap. Try to understand the logic behind his or her thinking. This person might wonder where you are coming from, too. Tonight: Opt for dinner for two. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Listen to others, but ultimately know that you need to make your own decision. How you handle a personal matter could change once you clear up an assumption that you and someone else made. If need be, bring in an expert for another opinion. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your creativity soars early in the day. Funnel your high energy into some task that could be made better through an infusion of this trait. Detaching from a situation will help you choose the right direction for you to head in. Tonight: As early as you can, go off and have some fun. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might move slowly, but once you get going, your creativity seems to soar. Apply some of your imagination to the tasks at hand. You will find that they are more interesting and allow greater flexibility. Tonight: Tap into a loved one’s way of thinking. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Go with the flow, and honor what is happening with someone in your daily life. You might want to stay close to home or make contact with that special person in your life. Don’t assume that you know what a close friend or loved one is feeling. Tonight: Open up to a suggestion. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Handle a financial matter in the
Tundra
morning. Later, you will want to check in with a key person you really care about. You might be confused or overwhelmed by everything this person shares. Encourage a discussion with a new associate in the afternoon. Tonight: With friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are in your element in the morning, so use that time to do anything important. In the afternoon, you will not have the same energy or charisma to argue your case or make a good impression. You also will be more biased. Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Know that your strong suit is not dealing with real estate or any matter involving your home. There is an underlying theme of confusion present in one of the abovementioned areas. It would be best to play it low-key today. Tonight: Be spontaneous, and you’ll have more fun! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Though you might feel you are being clear and receptive, you will find out otherwise. You
easily could misread someone’s message as well. Use care in your conversations. You don’t want to be misunderstood or misunderstand someone else. Tonight: Return calls. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Friendship is more important to you than nearly anything else. Use care if you find yourself mixing money and friendship in an unconventional manner. Pull back and try to separate the two. This disengagement could be touchy. Tonight: Join some friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Getting a clear vision, much less being able to verbalize the idea, takes talent. You could feel as if you have to take a stand and lead others with a project. If you can’t establish clear communication, let the chips fall as they may. Tonight: Up till the wee hours.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I recently found out that my sister and my husband were engaged in an emotional affair that lasted nearly two years. I am in remission after having been diagnosed with breast cancer. On the day of my diagnosis, my 38-year-old son died. As a consequence of chemotherapy, I developed osteoporosis and sustained two broken femurs that required months of inpatient rehab. My sister, “Louise,” who is married and lives in another state, began asking my husband whether he would remarry when I die. He said he didn’t think so. She then told him that she had received a vision from our departed sister, who said Louise and my husband were meant to be together. Louise’s visits to our home became more frequent and lasted longer. She engaged him in outings and activities that I am completely incapable of pursuing. She flirted with and fawned over him. After she left, I found an email my husband had written to her, saying that he adored her in every way. He said he wouldn’t betray me, but that he would definitely remarry Louise after I died. All of this in secret, behind my back. I confronted both of them, and my husband confessed his involvement and begged for forgiveness. He always has been forthright and honorable in the past, and we are working hard on our marriage. He has vowed to cut all ties with Louise. I have told her that she is never to step foot in my house again. The problem is that my 91-year-old mother is quite ill and not likely to live much longer. I cannot be in the same room as my sister. Is there a way to honor our mother while avoiding a confrontation that will only be ugly? -- Devastated Dear Devastated: Louise is quite a piece of work, betraying you when you were most helpless. But your husband must also take responsibility for allowing his vulnerability to lead him astray. We are glad you are working on that. Louise deserves to be officially snubbed. That means if you end up in the same room, you do not acknowledge her presence. She is invisible to you, while you are perfectly gracious to everyone else. Dear Annie: I was a pretty happy guy until my grandmother crushed my dreams. I planned to join my high school basketball team, but Grandma said I was never going to make it. This made me extremely sad and angry and put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day. Is there any polite way to resolve this, or was Grandma right and I should just give up? I need help. -- Brokenhearted, Crushed Dreams Dear Brokenhearted: Is Grandma the basketball coach? Only the coach understands what combination of skills is desired each year. You might make it, you might not, but you deserve the opportunity to try. And if you don’t make the team, there are other things you can do. Grandma may be trying to protect you, but disappointment is a useful learning experience. Tell her politely, “I appreciate your interest, but I’m going to give it a shot anyway.” No one can crush your dreams if you don’t let them. Use her negativity as motivation. Dear Annie: This is for “Who Am I” and any other woman who wants to be addressed by her maiden name after marriage. If your marriage is still young, have a wedding announcement placed in your local paper with your name as you want it used and your husband’s name. If it’s too late for that, have business cards made with your preferred name and your husband’s name, and give them out to anyone and everyone you know. -- An Annie Fan on Cape Cod Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
