Tim Bozon, a member of the Kootenay Ice, is greeted by members of the Calgary Hitmen prior to the Ice/Hitmen playoff game in Cranbrook, B.C., Saturday, March 30, at a playoff game between the Ice and Hitmen. Bozon was greeted by a sold-out crowd at Cranbrook’s Western Financial Place in an emotional moment — one month ago the Montreal Canadiens’ draft pick was in critical condition after contacting meningitis while on a road trip in Saskatchewan. He was put into a medically induced coma to relieve swelling on the brain, but is now on the mend. Saturday marked his return to Cranbrook, to see his team upset the Hitmen and advance to the second round of the WHL playoffs. See full story, Page 7.

Tick season is dawning in the East Kootenay Submit ted
The arrival of warmer weather means many of us are spending more time outdoors. The change in weather also brings out ticks - small bugs that feed on the blood of humans and animals and can sometimes transmit disease. “Ticks are most often found in tall grass and wooded areas so covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks on yourself, your children, and your pets after being outdoors are simple things that go a long way to prevent tick bites,” said Jennifer Jeyes, Communicable Disease Specialist with Interior Health. The most common tick species in the Interior Health region is the Wood Tick (Dermacentor andersoni), which does not carry the Lyme disease bacteria. The Wood Tick can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, although it is very rare. Some ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis if attached for several days, but the symptoms fade once the
tick is removed. Signs of many tick-borne infections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain, and rash. The tick species that carries Lyme disease (Ixodes pacificus) is more common in the coastal areas of B.C., but may also be present in low numbers in the Interior region. Less than one per cent of Ixodes ticks in B.C. carry Lyme disease. In addition to fever, headache, and muscle pain, people infected with Lyme disease will often develop a rash that looks like a “bull’s-eye” target and expands from the site of the tick bite. “Most tick bites do not result in illness; however, all tick bites should be cleaned, as infection can occur whenever there is a break in the skin,” added Jeyes. “It is important to watch for signs of tick-transmitted illnesses. Anyone who experiences a bull’s-eye rash or other symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible.” Other precautions include: • Walking on cleared trails
when in tall grass or wooded areas. • Wearing a hat, long sleeves, pants, and light-coloured clothing. • Tucking pant legs into socks or boots. • Applying insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered skin. • Carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live. • Having a shower after returning from areas where ticks may live. To reduce ticks from entering your home and yard, try these steps: • Keep your lawn short and remove any fallen leaves and weeds. • Keep a buffer area such as wood-chip or gravel border between your lawn and wooded areas or stone walls. Any play equipment or play zones should be kept away from wooded areas. • Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard. • Keep wood piles and bird feeders away from the house.
• Widen and maintain trails on your property. If you find a tick on yourself, a family member, or pet, wear gloves and gently remove it. Needle-nose tweezers can be used to gently grasp the tick close to the skin. Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out. Be careful not to crush the tick as this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin. After removal, clean the area with soap and water. If you have concerns or need assistance removing a tick, please contact your family doctor or visit a walk-in medical clinic.

that anyone who may have witnessed this collision please contact the Cranbrook Detachment at 250-489-3471 and quote police file number 2014-1352.

Wildsight. Peter Wood, from the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, said the Minister has also received thousands of letters opposing this bill since it was introduced last month, but the public’s concerns have still been ignored. “There has been absolutely zero public consultation, and the pace at which this was pushed through suggests this was never a consideration,” Wood said.

time he’s come to B.C. for a convention. Roberts said there are probably about 130 members in the local trapper association. “We’ve got one of the biggest locals in the province,” he said. He said for the convention they will be getting help as well from the newly formed West Kootenay Trappers Association. He said B.C. leads the industry in certified traps and humane trapping standards. He said the standards have become better as well as the industry has changed and adapted. “We’re very highly policed, by ourselves and by conservation officers,” he said. “Our ability to handle fur is better, because the public has demanded it: the European market, the Chinese Market… They’ve just become more sophisticated and want more and more. There is an insatiable appetite for wild fur over in those areas.” The BCTA was started in 1946 and is the oldest trapping association in Canada. Roberts also noted that trapping is the oldest industry in Canada, started 400 years ago.

In April, trappers from all over B.C. will make their way to Cranbrook for the annual British Columbia Trappers Association (BCTA) convention. This year it will be hosted by the East Kootenay Trappers Association, said the association’s president, Mannie Roberts. The BCTA holds its convention once a year and it is typically held in the north part of the province. “I think it’s because those guys don’t think we can do it right down here,” Roberts joked. “But we’ll show them.” This will be the 69th convention and it will be held from April 24 to 27 at the Cranbrook Curling Club. “Trapping is a much misunderstood industry, a lot of people think we just run around and kill animals just for the heck of it,” he said. “That’s just not true. There is a real need for intelligent trapping and we believe we trap intelligently.” The association advocates for trappers with the industry and government. There will also be a
bit of a trade show at the convention and the public is welcome to come. There will be an admission fee of a few dollars, that will also enter you into a draw for prizes. They are also trying to get the local schools to bring in students. “We’re constantly trying to educate youth,” he said. “The theme for this convention this year is youth.” Darby Dean, a 16 year old archer from Kimberley who placed ninth in the World Champion Archery shoot in China, will be doing a demonstration of her archery skills on the Friday night. Dean’s family are all trappers and Roberts said she will be taking the trappers course as well. He said the convention will bring 250-300 trappers and their families to the region. “We’ll have lots of demonstrations of fur skinning,” he said. “And a friend of mine is coming in from Alberta to do some beaver skinning demonstrations.” The man can skin a beaver, something known to be an arduous process, in under two minutes.

The Bonfire of the Vanities: Part I “It would be good for religion if many books that seem useful were destroyed.” This was the rallying cry of Girolamo Savonarola, a Florentine monk whose preaching against secular works in 1497 created a massive cult following. Savonarola told his followers it was their duty to cleanse Florence of all earthly pleasures. This was accomplished by raiding people’s homes and removing any object which Savonarola felt a corrupting influence. After they had gathered up all the earthly indulgences they could find — playing cards, mirrors, jewelry, art, perfume, decorations, fancy clothes, wigs, and most especially books — they dumped them all into the middle of the town square, where Savonarola was waiting with a match. History has called this action “the bonfire of the vanities.” Howev-

Girolamo Savonarola Wolfe found it much easier to write brief instalments than a whole novel, and ‘The Bonfire of the Vanities’ appeared in Rolling Stone
Magazine from July of 1984 to August 1985. It finally appeared as one complete book in 1987, and was unusually both a critical and financial success. Close to 60 at the time of its publication, Wolfe would continue to write novels, including ‘A Man in Full,’ ‘I am Charlotte Simmons,’ and last year’s ‘Back to Blood.’ And what of poor Savonarola? In an epilogue to his book, Wolfe explained just who Savonarola was and where his book’s title came from. But at the last minute, he removed the epilogue just before the
book’s initial printing. According to his biographer, Wolfe “hesitated to identify himself with the man who was burned at the stake for his convictions.” He needn’t have worried. Unlike Savonarola, Wolfe’s readers never turned on him. They were however ready burn down Hollywood after they were through with his novel, which we will look at in the next column.

Liberals, NDP spar over MMBC recycling rollout Minister defends cost shift to packaging, paper generators Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C.’s small business minister defended the province’s shift to a new recycling system Wednesday after a continuing attack in the Legislature by the Official Opposition. Naomi Yamamoto said the Multi Material BC program transfers recycling costs from taxpayers to the producers who generate packaging
and printed paper and challenged New Democrats to state whether or not they oppose that principle. “How many of us have come home after purchasing a relatively small item, struggled to unpackage the item and then found yourself with a mountain of waste material that we have no control over?” Yamamoto responded in Question Period. “This pro-
gram actually provides an incentive to producers to reduce their packaging.” The new system led by Multi Material BC is being resisted as too costly by various business sectors, including the newspaper industry and Black Press, the company that owns this newspaper. Yamamoto said the province asked MMBC to work with the small business community
and the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, adding that led to a series of exemptions that absolve 99 per cent of small businesses of requirements to report and pay recycling fees under the new program. NDP small business critic Lana Popham cited severe business impacts and demanded to know if the province will halt the scheduled May 19 rollout pending better consultation with

He had always hoped to write a novel which would pull back the curtains of proper society, much as his idols William Thackeray and Charles Dickens had. Yet when it came to fiction writing, Wolfe always found himself suffering writers’s block. To combat this, he did as his role models had done, which was to serialize their works.

What’s Up?
Letters to the Editor What balance?
The Harper Government is proudly heralding a balanced budget, even a surplus, for 2015. Is a balanced budget necessarily a good thing, a worthy achievement? Most budgets can be balanced if expenditures are deleted or sufficiently reduced. The real issue is the price we will pay. Who and what will be sacrificed on this fiscal altar? How many valuable programs will disappear, how many vital services will be chopped, how many jobs will be lost? One early casualty of this “accomplishment” appears to be the Building Canada Fund, a multi-billion dollar project aimed at restoring Canada’s crumbling highways, bridges et al. It is to be slashed by 90 per cent effective April 1. Who will pay? We all will, some more than others. Bud Abbott Cranbrook
DCCs
Thank you for your follow-up letter, MLA Bennett, and for your kind comments about our City staff, which I agree with wholeheartedly. I believe that CAO Staudt’s letter was very clear on what led to Cranbrook’s proposed DCCs not proceeding at this time. If you require clarification, I encourage you to call either CAO Staudt or me here at City Hall. We can be reached at 250-4264211. I can assure you that there was no in-camera discussion or plots related to blaming the Province – that is not a world that I live in, nor would I ever support that kind of approach. Councillors do not report to the Mayor, as I’m sure you know. They are elected independently and speak their minds freely at Council meetings – that is what democracy is all about. I will leave it to them to decide if they believe that there is merit in commenting further on this matter. Wayne L. Stetski Mayor City of Cranbrook
Haul Truck
I would like to thank Dr. Marilyn Petersen from the College of the Rockies and Mr. Glen Campbell of Teck Coal for their thoughtful replies to my concerns regarding the COTR Haul Truck program. The program itself is a fantastic one, with excellent teachers and a comprehensive curriculum. My primary concern relates to the political statements made in support of the program and the resulting public misperceptions they created. While I agree with Dr. Petersen and Mr. Campbell about the considerable number of variables related to the hiring process, I disagree with their statements regarding the success rate for recent course graduates. Moving forward, Dr. Petersen makes a positive suggestion that the COTR communicate to students that they should have “clear and appropriate expectations with respect to course outcomes …” (before they drop $7,500 for a one-month course). Another suggestion is to develop a comprehensive graduate feedback sys-

tem that would track student job placements. The funding partners could then determine if program objectives are being met, be accountable for public monies spent and provide prospective students with the information they need to make informed decisions about investing in their future.

Walking bridges
Coun. Bev Middlebrook — “I can’t believe no one has said we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” — seems not to be particularly skilled at translating actions into words. Council’s actions clearly demonstrate a “we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” attitude and way of doing business. Mixing metaphors, it seems that Coun. Middlebrook can’t hear the obvious. Perhaps the constant drone about hoped for grants leads to hearing impairment. An already received $50,000 grant shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand, but some thought as to the big picture and what should be on the city priority list and what can fit into the city budget should precede any decision to add two bridges. Even at a saving of $16,666.66 for each of these previously unplanned bridges, are they more important than all the other projects requiring city spending? Spending money you don’t have because something is available at a bargain price doesn’t make sense in your personal life. Is the life of the city that much different? John Clark Kimberley
Where’s the Outrage?
Where is all the outrage now that the Provincial Government has called for open season on the wild pigs in our province? Now, I went along with everyone else when Bambi’s mom was taken by a hunter but I was always a big fan of Porky and Petunia and, of course, the triplets. It appears that, reports the Province newspaper, the pig community is eating its way through local vegetation, uprooting crops and competing with other wildlife for food. They go on to say that once established these feral beasts are hard to root out. Is it my imagination or does this all sound too familiar? Will Ms. Winter, President of the Animal Alliance, with all of its national and international influence, decide to run the gauntlet of the Provincial Government over this? Someone needs to take on this emotional event. I mean, why is it that the deer get such special consideration? What’s the matter with the porkers? I would hate to think that cute and furry takes precedence over homely and bristly, although baby pigs are pretty darn cute. After stating that the Animal Alliance, along with Toronto’s Mayor, managed to save the elephants and coyotes from whatever faced them, I would expect Ms. White and her cadre to confront the B.C. Government. Someone has to speak up for this indiscriminate act that allows pigs to be hunted. Aren’t all animals equal, after all? Or is that just certain species? Ms. White has indicated that there are thousands of dollars to be spent in put-
ting our area to shame but she does not consider this a threat. She may then be surprised to learn that the many people who have spoken to me regarding her letters do consider her message a threat. Perhaps it is time to check with her legal counsel in order to assure that her magnanimous statements do not come back to bite her ‘you know where’. To the Deer Protection Society, the taxpayers are still waiting to be reimbursed for the damage incurred by your representatives and the legal expenses caused by their alleged attack on the deer traps. Do the right thing. Fairness for our Pigs Bill Roberts Kimberley
Joseph Creek
In response to last week’s paper of all the wonderful things the city of Cranbrook has done and how much money the City had to spend, may I add that none of it went to the Joseph Creek area? We are the forgotten corner of Cranbrook. We live in a wonderful, well-kept senior home and are looking out on the worst dump in the city. Our daily walk is beside a totally neglected creek and our view is a mess, to say the least. For the last three years we have sent pictures, letters and over a hundred signatures to the city, talked with the mayor, to no avail. Mr. Mayor, do you realize that most of us will never get to see the lovely fountain or the $49,115 rocks by Elizabeth Lake? We have paid taxes all of our lives, we’re proud of every improvement that was made, only to be rewarded to spent the rest of our lives ignored and forgotten. In my view it would not take $49,000 to clean up our surrounding. With a little help it would give us the place we deserve and could be proud of. Ida Aitzetmueller Resident of Joseph Creek
Windows XP
I’d like to mention something I’ve read a lot about lately, but have seen very little of in the media. On April 8 this year, Microsoft will cease all support for Windows XP. I’ve noticed there is still a lot of people using XP, including professional offices where private patient data will be vulnerable to attack. Keeping XP on-line will put all computers in jeopardy. As of a survey a couple months ago by netmarketshare.com out of all devices connected to the internet, XP is 31 per cent, Windows 7 – 46 per cent, 8 and 8.1 is 10 per cent, chrome and Linux – 5 per cent, Mac OS 10.8 and 10.9 – 4 per cent, chrome and Linux 3.5 per cent. Linux and Ubuntu are free safe alternative operating systems to Windows XP and can be downloaded from the internet. Other alternatives are to upgrade to Vista or Windows 7 or still use XP but disconnect it from the internet. Once Microsoft ends all support, computers will be at high risk even with a current anti-virus software installed and will be six times more likely to be hacked according to Mr. O. Vicek, the CEO of Avast anti-virus software. He also has concerns with 90 per cent of ATMs still using XP. K. Mauro Marysville

The new world of money to burn

The radio station’s representatives said emember when your mother asked, “If your friends jumped off a cliff, the station was simply keeping its word when it burned the money. would you do it too?” But aside from the reaction, the fact is That advice from good old Mom is back in the news as a Calgary radio sta- that the whole mess started with more people texting #burn than tion finds itself in me#bank. Well, it actually ga-hot water over a contest started with the stupid stunt and what they call a idea in the first place, but social media experiment. my point is, when did we Calgary’s Amp Radio Carolyn get so mean-spirited? announced that they had Grant Are we at the point $5,000 to burn. They meant where we’d rather see it literally. They asked lismoney burn than someteners to respond with texts as to whether they should bank the one else win it? Or is it simply that it is so money or burn it. If #bank was texted to a easy, and anonymous, to endorse a stupid certain number more than #burn, a listen- idea online that no thought goes into it? er would have the opportunity to win the I’ll text #burn. That would be awesome. It takes no thought, no energy, to simfive grand. If #burn won, the station would ply text #burn to a number. But apparentburn the money. As in incinerate it. Well, you guessed it, #burn won. And ly enough people had the same lack of the station burned the money and posted thought and $5,000 that could have served somebody, somewhere, went up in the video to YouTube to prove it. Outraged reaction was swift and point- smoke. And a radio station got a whole lot ed. Many people tweeted that they would of press, most of it negative. So that’s one bad outcome that pernever listen to the station again, pointing out that the homeless or victims of last haps a little thought before texting or year’s flood could certainly use the tweeting might have prevented.

wards terrible. A hotel in New York, which specializes in weddings, is offering a new service for the low price of $3,000. For that paltry sum they will give your wedding all the social media attention it deserves. The social media wedding concierge send photos to Instagram and video to Vine. They will live tweet the actual ceremony and create unique hashtags. They will live blog it. For $3,000! Cheap at twice the price! Now in one way, this is great. The whole world, or at least those interested enough, gets to share in the joy of your big day. However, they will also get to share in the joy of Uncle Bill getting drunk and telling inappropriate jokes; a spat between bridesmaids going ugly; your cute little flower girl overindulging in cake and getting sick. The possibilities are endless. Why keep a feud in the family when you can share it with the world? And you can — for only $3,000. And at least that $3,000 is going into the pocket of a needy “social media wedding concierge”. It’s not like you’d be burning it. Carolyn Grant is the Editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin

Ice upset Hitmen to advance in WHL playoffs Tim Bozon makes a triumphant return to rally Kootenay to a 5-3 win over Calgary that clinches the first-round series TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Win for Tim. In a game fill with emotion on Saturday night, the Kootenay Ice certainly did that, beating the Calgary Hitmen 5-3 to close out the first round of the playoffs with a 4-2 series win. Tim Bozon, who made a triumphant return to his WHL team, received a standing ovation from a crowd of 3,916 in a pre-game ceremonial puck drop. The Ice forward was officially discharged from hospital in Saskatoon on Friday a month after being diagnosed with meningitis. After the final buzzer sounded and the handshake procession ended, the Kootenay players gathered at centre ice to salute the crowd and Bozon, who was up in one of the luxury boxes. “It was emotional, for sure,” said Jaedon Descheneau. “When we saw him this morning for the meeting, it was full of hugs and joy and I was so happy to see him, knowing he is better and he’s okay and he’s just going to make progress from here. “Seeing him come out onto the ice to drop the puck, I definitely had to hold it back…he inspired us to go forward in this series and win and he was a big part of that.” See the Daily Townsman later this week for a feature story on Bozon and his road to recovery. The Ice now advance to the second round of
the post-season for the first time since they won the league championship in 2011, and will play the Medicine Hat Tigers, which overcame the Swift Current Broncos in six games with a 2-1 win in Game Six. “It feels absolutely amazing,” said Jagger Dirk, an overage defenceman who was on the championship-winning team. “We haven’t won a playoff series in a long time and for the guys who are first- and second-year in—especially against Calgary with that history and rivalry we have—it’s just a huge boost to our confidence and we feel great going into the next series.”
“He inspired us to go forward in this series and win and he was a big part of that.” Jaedon Descheneau As was the case all series, the Hitmen just couldn’t find a way to contain the top line from the Ice, as Descheneau, Zach Franko and Sam Reinhart terrorized the Calgary defensive corps. Descheneau and Reinhart share the lead for the WHL post-season scoring race with 17 points each, while Franko sits in fifth overall at nine points. “They were key, they were huge,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill. “The strength they
possess down low in the offensive zone, and even in the defensive zone and coming through the neutral zone with the puck and how they move the puck with each other—they were tremendous. “They’re not big guys, but they play with big hearts and they move their feet, and they were great for us and hopefully that will continue.” Descheneau posted a hat trick, while Franko notched a goal and Reinhart got helpers on three of them. Austin Vetterl also tallied for his first career playoff goal. Wyatt Hoflin was given the start, turning away 36 shots for his second straight playoff win. Brady Brassart, Adam Tambellini and Radel Fazleev responded for the Hitmen, all coming in a desperate third-period pushback that ultimately failed. Calgary goaltender Chris Driedger gave up four goals in 38 shots. After Bozon dropped the puck with Reinhart and Hitmen captain Jaynen Rissling at centre ice, the Calgary bench emptied as all the players made the rounds to shake hands with their WHL comrade. In a series chock full of wild back-and-forth scoring, the first period was the only period over the six games that didn’t include a goal. The Hitmen had the edge in shots, while getting two cracks at the powerplay, which they were unable

Kootenay Ice forward Jaedon Descheneau stuffs his second goal of the night past Calgary Hitmen goaltender Chris Driedger during a 5-3 win that clinched the first-round series on Saturday night at Western Financial Place. to capitalize on. The Ice took the lead less than two minutes into the second period, as Descheneau picked up a rebound and buried it. Eight minutes later, Franko doubled Kootenay up, getting a tip on a point shot from Dirk. Kootenay struck early again in the third period, with Vetterl redirecting a blistering slap shot from Rinat Valiev at the blue line. Only a couple minutes later, Brassart beat Hoflin off the rush on
the wing to put Calgary’s first goal up on the scoreboard. But Descheneau soon put it back to a three-goal cushion on Kootenay’s red-hot powerplay, scooping up the puck off a tipped shot from the blue line and stuffing it home. Carrying a 4-1 lead going into the final five minutes seemed like a sure thing for the Ice. Considering how the series had gone, maybe not such a sure thing after all. With just over four
With secure playoff berth, Raptors continue to roll KYLE HIGHTOWER Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. - After Toronto locked up its first post-season berth since 2008 last week, coach Dwane Casey cautioned the Raptors to not get complacent down the stretch with teams still vying for playoff position. He’s hoping that a nearly disastrous letdown against Orlando will send a stronger message. DeMar DeRozan had 28 points, Jonas Valanciunas
added 20 points and nine rebounds, and the Raptors escaped with a 98-93 victory over the Magic on Sunday night. Toronto led by as many as 21 points before having to stave off Orlando’s late charge. Trailing 96-93 with 8.9 seconds to play, the Magic had the ball and an opportunity to tie the game. But coming out of a timeout they failed to inbound the ball, turning it over on a 5-second violation. DeRozan was fouled and hit a pair of free throws to save the win.
“They saw the 20-point lead and like any NBA team, they let their guard down,” Casey said. “That’s a development we’ve got to have - to keep the intensity, keep your foot on their neck and keep it down.” Kyle Lowry added 16 points. The win was the Raptors’ third in a row and seventh straight over the Magic. Toronto swept the season series 3-0. “We still haven’t done anything yet in this league. We haven’t played a playoff game, we haven’t won a playoff series, we
haven’t done anything, so we still have a long way to go and we understand that,” DeRozan said. “It’s time to take the next step, finish the season off strong, and then the next step will come after that.” Nik Vucevic led the Magic with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Jameer Nelson and Victor Oladipo each added 16 points. Orlando shot 55 per cent for the game, but also had 19 turnovers that led to 19 Raptors’ points.
minutes left on the clock, Driedger headed to the bench for the extra attacker and Tambellini was rewarded with a goal. Seventy-two seconds later, Fazleev put a weak shot on net that snuck in on the corner to make it a one-goal differential with 2:26 remaining in the game. With Calgary within striking distance of tying up the game at the eleventh hour, McGill said his players simply took charge of their newfound situation. “Everybody on the
bench took over, it wasn’t even me,” said McGill. “It was them knowing that we’d given up enough and we knew that we just needed to relax, go out and win a face-off and just manage the puck properly, and the guys did it.” For the Hitmen, it was simply too little, too late. In the final minute, Descheneau was able to get the puck into Calgary territory and pot his third of the night into an empty cage to put the game out of reach.
Canada’s Koe downs Russia to improve to 3-1 at world curling championship BEIJING - Calgary’s Kevin Koe improved to 3-1 at the world men’s curling championship after rolling to a 9-1 victory over Russia’s Evgeny Arkhipov on Monday. With the win, Canada moves into a tie for second place in the 12-team round-robin standings with Germany’s Johnny Jahr. The undefeated Thomas Ulsrud of Norway (4-0) has sole possession of first place. Koe’s rink opened the tournament Saturday with a 6-3 win over Denmark. But dropped a 9-6 decision to Japan Sunday before beating host China 9-6. Canadian Press

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone is likely to sense your strength. As a result, this person will push you to get a reaction. You might decide to give him or her that reaction, just to catch him or her off guard. From there, you can continue with your day. Tonight: All smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might prefer not to have to give explanations or deal with much. On some level, you could be experiencing a kneejerk reaction regarding what is happening around you. You also might not feel a need to redefine or rethink your response. Tonight: Nap, then decide. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You feel destined to achieve certain goals. You could be a little tired or feel pushed by someone else. You might want to put this person in his or her place. Keep your eye on the long term, and be more forthright with a loved one. Tonight: Perk up.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) All eyes turn to you whenever others question what to do next, as your leadership qualities are rather evident. You could be flattered that your judgment is so valued. Understand what might be needed to get past an immediate hassle. Tonight: Find your friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Realize what is happening with those around you. One person seems determined to have things go his or her way. This individual could push beyond any normal level. If you see this behavior setting up, detach. Tonight: How about a concert or jam session? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with a loved one directly. You could want and need to rethink your interactions with this person, as he or she seems to have copped an attitude as of late. Your sense of direction and knowledge will cause a positive change. Tonight: Get your taxes done, then look at your budget. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be far grumpier than
Tundra
you realize. Look around and note others’ reactions to you. Rather than growl and grumble, root out what is really going on with you. Only then will you be able to get more control over your feelings. Tonight: Connect with a loved one. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Dive into work or a project. With concentration and focus, you’ll accomplish much more than you previously might have thought possible. As a side benefit, you will work off some frustration. Make a call to a new friend. Tonight: Your treat! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your playfulness and ability to honor a quick change will make all the difference in your choices. Re-evaluate what needs to happen between you and a new flirtation. As always, every bond has its limitations. Tonight: Ever playful. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll want to understand why someone is behaving a certain way before you make a judgment. This person seems to be all over the place. Get feedback
from a friend, but realize that you might not feel comfortable with all of his or her opinions. Tonight: Make it early. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to someone at a distance who might be searching for some feedback. Try to understand what is going on. Do not be adverse to picking up the phone and making some calls. You need more information. Tonight: Catch up on emails before deciding what to do.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I have two children, ages 11 and 8. They enjoy spending time with my mother-in-law. The problem is, my husband’s nephew lives with Granny and brings girls home with him for sex. The latest girlfriend likes to brag about it in front of everyone, including my kids. We tried letting the kids visit when the nephew was at work, but the girlfriend kept showing up. I don’t want my children learning about sex at Granny’s house. Mom says there’s nothing she can do -her house, her business. Now she has shut us out completely. We no longer see her or talk to her. Our kids are hurt. What can we do? -Looking for Middle Ground Dear Looking: First, please be sure that the nephew and his girlfriend are not somehow bullying or abusing Granny. It’s one thing if she simply thinks you should leave her alone and another if she is intimidated and afraid of antagonizing the nephew. You may need to contact Adult Protective Services in your area for help. Otherwise, perhaps your husband could speak directly to his nephew, without blame or judgment, and say that the kids miss Granny, and his girlfriend’s uninhibited conversation makes it difficult to visit. Enlist his help to remedy the situation for the sake of family harmony. We hope he will ask his girlfriend to put a filter on her mouth when the kids are around and convince his grandmother to open her home. Dear Annie: My boyfriend’s mother can be a nightmare. Boundaries mean nothing to her. Her oldest son and his wife moved out of state to get away from her. My own mother taught me how to handle her. First, she kept reminding me that this woman created the man I love, so there must be something good about her. Then she and my grandmother began inviting my boyfriend’s mother to women’s lunches and small outings. They developed a beautiful relationship, and now our families share holidays together. This set a great example for me. I began taking cooking and painting classes with my future mother-in-law at the local library and going on errands with her when my boyfriend was busy. I helped her in the kitchen and asked for her advice. I understood how much I had to gain by sharing small pieces of my day-to-day life and taking her to places we enjoy. As I developed my own relationship with her, it became easier to carve out special time with my boyfriend. She felt included in our life and was more likely to respect our time together. Of course, there are times when she still steps on my toes, and my boyfriend lays down the law, but there is no resentment because of the effort I have made. I have gained a second mother by being patient, tolerant and kind. It took time, but I can truly say that she is my family now. My boyfriend and I plan to marry soon, and I know his mother can’t wait. Had I been cold or resentful toward her, I would have missed out. For all the people in a serious relationship: Make the effort now. It’s worth it. Family is important, and life is short. -- Thankful for Her Dear Thankful: Thank you for understanding the long-term gain of having this relationship and being willing to do the work to make it happen. And bless your mother for her wisdom. We hope every soon-to-be bride will clip this out and save it for future reference. Dear Annie: Grandparents complain that they don’t get thank-you notes or phone calls for gifts to grandchildren. I’ve noticed that grandparents rarely send thankyou notes to grandchildren when they do something special. We MUST teach by example. -- Menasha, Wis.
