Firefighters quench Baynes Lake blaze T R E VO R C R AWL EY

A wildfire that forced the evacuation of 20 homes at Kragmont near Baynes Lake was contained on Monday evening, following aggressive action from local fire-

fighters and resources from the Wildfire Management Branch.

“We got the call at about 1:30 p.m. this [Monday] afternoon and when we arrived on scene, we discov-

ered a wild land fire burning next to a house. This fire was erratic and aggressive and there was real potential for things to grow quickly, so the decision was made to do a tactical evacuation and get

people safely out while we could,” said Dave Boreen, the fire chief for Jaffray/ Baynes Lake.

“This was not a decision that was made lightly and our crews, along with the

team from the Wildfire Management Branch, did an amazing job in protecting the structures and getting the fire quickly contained.”

Only 0.9 hectares in size, the fire was contained by 12

firefighters, an initial attack crew, helicopters and an air tanker. The fire came within inches of a house, but no structures were lost, and residents were eventually allowed to return to their homes.

The firefighters remained on-scene till Tuesday to work on hot spots and mop up. No cause has been identified, however, Boreen said it wasn’t from lightning, which usually implies human interference.

One dead after two car collision near Yahk S TA F F

A 57-year-old Creston woman is dead following a two-vehicle collision, which occurred in the townsite of Yahk, B.C., at approximately 12:45 p.m. on Monday,

August 11.

The collision happened when an older model Nissan Sentra, being driven by the deceased and travelling southbound, crossed the double solid centre line

into the path of a northbound, newer model Ford four-door station wagon.

The collision occurred fully in the northbound lane of travel, according to an RCMP press release.

The female driver of the Nissan was pronounced deceased at the scene, while her male travelling companion was transported to hospital by air ambulance with undisclosed injuries.

The four people travelling in the Ford were uninjured in the collision.

Members of the East Kootenay Traffic Services Unit continue to investigate.

If you’re thinking of busting out the barbecue to sling some hot dogs or burgers at a public event, make sure you have the proper permits, according to Interior Health.

The organization is reminding the public that temporary events, such as festivals, fairs and fundraisers, require a food service permit if people wish to break out the grill.

Foods such as bacon, french fries, hamburgers and hot dogs are considered low risk, but still require a food service permit.

“We understand that community events are not going to be able to meet the same standards that a commercial kitchen would meet,” said Dan Byron, an environmental health officer with Interior Health. “So we have a number of guidelines that are available on our public website for people putting on these events to apply for permits to do that. A number of foods are exempt, and the requirements kind of scale up depending on the risk level of the foods that are posed.”

Future holds broadband for everyone Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

There is a quest on to bring broadband to the far reaches of the Columbia Basin, by way of the Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation (CBBC). The corporation is a subsidiary of the Columbia Basin Trust, created to bring broadband internet to rural areas where it is not economically viable for the big telecoms to reach.

Recently, the CBBC in cooperation with the Regional Broadband Committee is reaching out to identify small and medium sized local and regional internet service providers.

Rob Gay, chair of the Regional District of East Kootenay sits on the Re-

gional Broadband Committee. Gay said after the committee came together it came up with a future plan made up of seven broad goals.

“A lot of the committee said, well now that we have a plan, who’s going to implement it?”

Gay said. “Really there was no one we could see that was already organized. So what we’ve done as a governance group is said we’d like to continue our work for another two years so we can align with our first goal of getting things in place by 2016.”

He said they have some of that work done, for instance they are working on a Memorandum of Understanding that the Regional Districts and the Ktunaxa

Nation need to work under.

“So we’ll get that done,” he said. “But in the meantime they are really focusing their attention on making sure the internet service providers in our region have an opportunity to bid on the federal money that is coming out.”

The call to proposals for the federal money will be coming out in September or October.

“We have some folks working with us that say the call this year will be really similar to last year, in that they need a really high degree of accuracy and quality in the submissions,” he said. “Last year there weren’t enough submissions from across Canada that

Wildfire burning 17 kilometres from Kimberley 49 new starts in last week, five in Cranbrook zone C A ROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin

There have been 49 new fire starts in the Southeast Fire Centre since last Tuesday, August 5, five in the Cranbrook zone.

The closest to Kimberley is a fire reported Tuesday, August 12, in the Mark Creek watershed. The fire is burning 17 kilometres northwest of Kimberley and had only grown to four hectares yesterday morning.

There are 13 firefighters and one helicopter on the fire according to Fanny Bernard at the Fire Centre.

“I can’t confirm it was lightning caused,” Bernard said. “So there will be an investigation into its cause.”

This is not an interface fire and is burning at approximately 2000 metres.

Bernard says that the fire danger in the Kimberley area is high to extreme. The majority of fires have been lightning caused, and while that is keeping fire crews very busy, the lack of human-caused fires is a big bonus.

“People in the Southeast Fire Centre have been very good, really vigilant with campfires. With the hot, dry weather forecast to continue

along with some thunder storms, we really ask people to continue to respect all restrictions in place, including campfire bans.”

Bernard also asks that if you see smoke, call it in.

“The public calls in approximately one third of all the fires in the province. If you see smoke, even if it’s in an area where you think it would already be called in, call in anyway. You just might be the first to report it.”

If you see smoke, call 1-800-6635555 or *5555 on your cell.

Bernard says that there is no doubt that fire crews have been very busy this summer.

“We have been responding to a lot of naturally occurring fires, but we are going at each one as they come up. The crews are doing a great job.”

Help has been arriving from other jurisdictions including 19 incident management personnel and 40 firefighters from Ontario, 40 firefighters from Quebec in the last week. Australia has also sent 80 specialized personnel, thoswe being officers, aircraft coordinators and incident

not all the money that was available was actually awarded. We want to take advantage of that this year.”

Gay said that while big telecom companies like Telus were able to provide high-speed broadband to all the residents in the Kootenays, the broadband committee members would go home.

“That’s something our residents want,” he said. “But we really see the private sector as being the people that are actually going to make it work and make it competitive.

In some cases the private sector is not-forprofit organizations.

That’s what we want to see is how many of these small business operators are interested.

The regional committee has hired a resource person from Vancouver.

“We feel we have the expertise and knowl-

edge in the region, it’s just trying to work together a little bit collaboratively and get some of these grants,” he said.

“Our initiative is actually twopronged … One is to bring broadband to those that want it, but can’t get it right now. The second part is to bring them up to that five megabyte speed.”

Rob Gay He said another thing they see a need for is public investment to make the business case better for the service providers.

Gay uses the case of a cell-type tower.

“If we were able to invest in a tower, let’s say

in the St. Mary Valley, and there wouldn’t be any exclusivity to it, anybody that wanted to use that tower would be able to use it, but we would put the initial $20-, $30or $40- thousand out for this tower. It would allow those businesses to use that facility at a very nominal rate and provide business for the community that was getting lower or no service at this point.

“I always imagine these great big towers like the one CPR put up, but in some cases it’s just basically an antenna on top of a public building or something like that.

So it can probably range from a low of $1,000 to probably upwards of $50,000.

“Some of the issues, if you’re going to put it on Crown land is the application process that you have to go through.”

He said there is a lot of work that would need to be done. Part of the

call for proposals from the federal government is going to be a mapping exercise. They want to know which areas do not have the level of service.

“Our initiative is actually two-pronged,” Gay explained. “One is to bring broadband to those that want it, but can’t get it right now.

“We’d like to be able to serve 80 per cent of those and I don’t know how many people are in that, we don’t have the numbers.

“The second part is to bring them up to that five megabyte speed.

That’s probably a bigger challenge in the rural area, because a lot of people that have internet, my friends in Wycliff and Wardner, will all tell you that they have it, but it’s just one step above dial-up.

“It’s very slow and quite frustrating and they can’t download pictures of their grandkids.”

Creating champions for St. Mary Lake wetlands F o r t h e Tow n s m a n

Wild about wetlands after taking a course in Castlegar in 2012, two St. Mary Lake residents saw wetlands surrounding their shoreline in a whole new light.

“BC Wildlife Federation Wetlandkeepers course was so inspiring that we wanted to share our sparked interest and passion by bringing the program to wetlands around our lake,” said Lindsay Merkel, one of the two organizers of the workshop.

Co-facilitated by regional Wetlandkeeper instructor Lee-Anne Walker from Fernie and Jason Jobin with BCWF in Surrey, the 14 students learned about the value of wetlands, how to identify and classify the soils, plants and animals, survey and mapping techniques and how to care for this unique ecosystem.

“These folks came as interested citizens and left as wetland champions”, states Walker.

“Folks were so fired up,

14 students learned about learned about the value of wetlands in a recent workshop. they are planning a community wetland education and outreach program to share the information they learned about Alki Wetland at the west end between St. Mary Lake and Alki Pond with other people from boaters to paddlers, and residents to recreationalists”.

Local experts Sonja Seher, wildlife technician and Kimberley’s

Wildsafe Coordinator and Daryl Calder from the Federation of BC Naturalists (Rocky Mountain Chapter) added valuable local knowledge about plants like sedges and the many bird species observed. “At one time a flock of five great blue herons flew overhead.

This wetland supports an amazing diversity of species”, noted Calder.

Lindsay Merkel and

Virginia Anderson from the St. Mary Valley Rural Resident’s Association want to thank the following funders for making this course a success: Columbia Basin Trust, Kimberley and District Community Foundation, Wildlife Habitat Canada, Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program, BC Wildlife Federation, Government of BC

Baynes Lake blaze contained Continued from page 1

IH is reminding residents that permits are needed for fundraising BBQs.

Permits required Continued from page 1

“…By asking people to apply for permits gives us a chance to review what they’re doing and to assist them to ensure they provide a safe product to the public.”

Permits can be easily obtained free of charge with preferably 14-days advance notice, added Byron. He also recommends completion of a FoodSafe course, which can be taken at the College of the Rockies or online.

“The Cranbrook/Kimberley area we’ve issued almost twice as many permits for temporary food events, so part of that may mean that there’s more events going on or partly due to people becoming more aware of what the requirements are,” said Byron. “Our role is really to ensure that the food served at these events are safe and to assist organizations in taking appropriate precautions to minimize the risk of illness associated with food.”

There are penalties in place if people don’t have the proper permits, but Byron added that Interior Health wishes to work with operators to make sure all the regulations are met.

“I can’t forecast what action we might take, but again, we recognize the importance of these events in our community. We want them to occur, so we will do everything we can to assist folks to meet the requirements correctly,” Byron said.

Foods that don’t require a permit include popcorn, donuts, muffins, and fresh fruit and vegetables. More information can be found online at www.interiorhealth.ca.

Despite being relatively small, there was potential for the situation to get much worse, said Boreen.

“We had spot fires taking off from the original fire, it was really quite dry, heavy timber, so spot fires advancing in front of the fire, so those were difficult to deal with, somewhat,” he said.

“I commend the tireless work of all the responders this afternoon,” continued Boreen.

“Had it not been for their swift action, this could have been a much more devastating event.

“I also want to recognize the emergency program personnel and Emergency Social Services volunteers who had a reception open within an hour.”

While the Jaffray/Baynes Lake fire department was busy with the wildland fire on Monday, they also were out on the weekend responding to a few campfires, which are currently under a ban.

“We were out three separate times on the weekend telling people to put their camp fires out and dealing with that,” said Boreen.

“We get a few and they all plead ignorance. I know three times for sure the Baynes Lake fire department was out on the weekend telling people to put their fires out.

“It’s pretty dry out there, so people need to be careful.”

Meanwhile, wildfire activity continues make smokey skies around the Cranbrook and Kimberley region. However, there are no serious events threatening any structures or communities.

Two ignition helicopters were used in a proactive burn at a fire eight kilometres north of Fisher Peak that was designed to guide it towards control lines which turned out to be successful, according to Fanny Bernard, with the Southeast Fire Centre.

“It’s within the containment lines, so hopefully that’s stopped it’s growth,” said Bernard.

“That’s the hope.”

A mixing crew on the ground and two heavy equipment assisted on the ground.

The estimated size is roughly 400 hectares, but is located a very remote area with extreme slopes.

Cranbrook has a high fire danger rating, with areas of extreme to the east, according to

A fire in the Baynes Lake area is in the mopping up stage.

Bernard. Since last Tuesday, there have been five new fires in the region.

The weather forecast isn’t much help either, with a thunderstorm warning in the Okanagan that will eventually roll into the Kootenay region.

“Sometimes lightning comes with rain, sometimes it doesn’t,” said Bernard. “For the last while, a lot of the lightning has been dry, contributing to the amount of starts we’ve had — the lightning caused starts.

“So we really need the fire crews to be able to respond to these fires as fast as possible.”

Bernard also encourages people to call in any wildfire

activity even if it may appear that it’s already common knowledge. To report a wildfire, call 1-800-663-5555 or call *5555 on a cell phone.

Notable fire activity includes: • Whiteboar Lake area has a 21 hectare fire with one 20-person crew and two helicopters working on it.

• Meacham Creek has a 15 hectare fire.

• Kragmont had a one-hectare fire attended by initial attack and volunteer firefighters • Roughly 17 kilometres northwest of Kimberley in the Mark Creek area is a four-hectare fire with 13 personnel and

one helicopter.

• One fire less than a hectare in size is up Sheep Creek road being attended by an initial attack crew.

Clarification The Daily Townsman would like to clarify that homes were issued an evacuation order, and not an alert, in a story published on Monday, Aug. 11 titled “RDEK issues evacuation alert near Baynes Lake”. Fire crews executed a tactical evacuation order to combat a fire near Kragmont. An evacuation alert falls under different circumstances and procedures.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Fish safe, water ban near mine tailings spill mostly lifted C a n a d i a n P r e ss

LIKELY, B.C. — Health officials in B.C. have lifted most of a water ban that was put in place following a massive mine tailings spill, while also declaring fish from the area are safe to eat.

More than 300 people were ordered not to drink or bathe

in water from nearby lakes and rivers after the tailings dam at the Mount Polley gold and copper mine failed last week.

Subsequent testing has found water in Quesnel Lake and Quesnel River are within guidelines for human and aquatic health.

The water ban was partially lifted last week in areas that included the nearby town of Likely, but it remained in effect for as many as 200 people over the weekend.

Dr. Trevor Corneil of the Interior Health Authority says the ban has now been almost entirely lifted, except for areas

closest to the mine, which are relatively uninhabited.

Corneil also says the health authority has no evidence that any toxins would have affected fish, and he says he can confidently say fish caught outside the current water restriction areas are safe to eat.

A force of nature in comedy T DAV I D B AU D E R Associated Press

he question from a fan in a Sirius XM interview last year was innocent — what do you think you’d be doing if you didn’t become a comedian? — and within seconds Robin Williams was impersonating physicist Stephen Hawking getting a lap dance at a strip club.

“Now don’t sit on the keyboard!’’ Williams said, coaxing laughs from a few dozen people in a Manhattan studio.

How did he get there? Explaining it would take twice as long as it took to actually happen. Would anyone else in the world have made such a leap?

Not a chance. Williams, who died in an apparent suicide Monday, was a comic force of nature. The world got to know him as the wild alien in “Mork & Mindy,’’ a comedian who elevated improvisation to an art form and also demonstrated a rare versatility in more serious roles. He moved seamlessly from comedy to drama to tragedy to comedy again during a Hollywood heyday in the 1980s and 1990s.

His Academy Award as a supporting actor in “Good Will Hunting’’ came in a drama.

In 1997, Entertainment Weekly magazine named Williams the funniest man alive, and the very next year listed him as one of the world’s 25 best actors — a double distinction that made him rare, if not unique.

He touched every generation and demographic, making his entrance in a 1970s comic generation with Steve Martin, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and Billy Crystal. He exploded onto the scene at a time when two schools of comedy dominated — “Saturday Night Live’’ and Johnny Carson — and Williams felt equally comfortable running with both crowds.

Williams was the voice of a genie in “Aladdin’’ and a hyper disc jockey in “Good Morning Vietnam.’’ In “Mrs.

Robin Williams Doubtfire,’’ he played a dad who dressed as a woman to see his kids, and in “Birdcage,’’ he played a gay man. He was an English teacher in “Dead Poets Society,’’ a scientist in “Awakenings’’ and a prisoner of war in “Jakob the Liar.’’ In this year’s independent film “The Angriest Man in Brooklyn,’’ Williams played a man mistakenly told he had 90 minutes to live.

On a stage, in front of the lights, is where Williams shined most brightly. The riffs, tangents and impersonations came rushing at the audience, a seemingly endless torrent. It looked like onstage cocaine, a drug he abused in real life and, of course, made part of his comedy.

“Cocaine is God’s way of telling you you are making too much money,’’ he would say.

On a television talk show, hosts knew Williams barely needed to be wound up.

Sometimes, he needed only an audience of one: Williams visited Christopher Reeve a week after the actor’s horseback riding accident, dressed in scrubs with a surgical mask and speaking in a Russian accent.

The roles became less prominent as he

aged and a different generation took the spotlight. Last year, CBS cast him as the star of the sitcom “The Crazy Ones,’’ in which Williams played the colorful elder statesman at a Chicago ad agency. The network had high hopes for the comedy, which also starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, but they quickly faded and the show was cancelled after one season.

That didn’t make Williams unique — Michael J. Fox also failed in a recent return to television — but it was an indication that Williams was no longer a sure ticket to success.

Like many comedians, Williams often seemed driven by demons. He had a complicated personal life, suffered from depression and was treated for substance abuse, most recently earlier this summer.

He did a few lines of cocaine with John Belushi on the last night of that comic’s life.

A darkness seeped in during an interview with comedian Marc Maron in 2010, where Williams seemingly dismissed what would be a career highlight for many actors. “People say you’re an Academy Award winner,’’ he said. “The Academy Award lasted about a week and then one week later, people went, ‘Hey Mork!’’’

Stand-up comedy was where Williams got the most satisfaction.

“You get the feedback,’’ Williams said in a 2007 interview with The Associated Press. “There’s an energy. It’s live theatre.

That’s why I think actors like that. You know, musicians need it, comedians definitely need it. It doesn’t matter what size and what club, whether it’s 30 people in the club or 2,000 in a hall or a theatre. It’s live, it’s symbiotic, you need it.’’

Ultimately, Williams had needs no one could meet. The millions of people he made laugh over nearly four decades in the public consciousness weren’t enough.

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Leon Draisaitl, the third overall pick in the 2014 draft, to a three-year entry level contract.

Draisaitl had 105 points (38 goals, 67 assists) in 64 regular-season games for the WHL’s Prince Albert Raiders last season. He also had a goal and two assists on four playoff games.

The six-foot-one, 209-pound centre from Cologne, Germany, has represented his country several times, most recently at the 2014 World Hockey Championship, where he had four points (one goal, three assists) in seven games.

He joins a young Oilers team that includes recent first-overall picks Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Nail Yakupov.

Sale of NBA’s LA Clippers complete BE TH HARRIS Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Steve Ballmer officially became the new owner of the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday for a record $2 billion.

The team said the sale closed after a California court confirmed the authority of Shelly Sterling, on behalf of the Sterling Family Trust, to sell the franchise to the former Microsoft CEO. Her estranged husband, Donald Sterling, had unsuccessfully fought the sale of the team he owned since 1981 in court.

The NBA Board of Gobernors had previously approved the sale.

“Really excited — in a pretty hardcore way — to continue the path to making the Clippers a better and better bas-

ketball team, and a better and better citizen of the Los Angeles community,’’ Ballmer said.

The sale ends some troubling concerns that had surrounded the team in recent months.

Doc Rivers would possibly have quit as coach if Sterling remained the owner, interim CEO Richard Parsons had testified. AllStar point guard Chris Paul, who also is president of the Players Association, might have sat out and convinced other players to join him.

Sponsors who already started to flee after a recording of Donald Sterling making racist comments was released might have stayed away for good.

None of that appears to be a problem with Ballmer taking over.

Cranbrook Pro Rodeo returns to Wycliffe for its 28th instalment TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

The 28th Annual Cranbrook Professional Rodeo will kick up dust once again this weekend at Wycliffe Exhibition Grounds.

“It’s our 28th annual [rodeo], which we’re excited about,” said Cranbrook Professional Rodeo committee chair Dallas Mackie. “We have a very small committee and we work hard. It’s all done by volunteers.”

A regular stop on the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association circuit, the event will once again feature a selection of North America’s top rodeo athletes, including a trio of Canadian champions from the 2014 Calgary Stampede.

Scott Schiffner of Strathmore, Alta., took home the title of Calgary Stampede bull-riding champion, while Morgan Grant of Granton, Ont., earned the tiedown roping buckle.

Pincher Creek’s Dustin Flundra rounded out the Canadian trio of champions by earning the saddle bronc championship. All three cowboys will be in attendance at Wycliffe.

More than 200 cowboys and cowgirls have registered in hopes of corralling a title this weekend. In addition to a strong Canadian contingent of athletes, rodeo fans will see riders from as far as Australia and New Zealand. All major rodeo events will be in

Ice forwards receive NHL rookie camp invites Philp headed to Toronto; Martin off to Vancouver TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

CHRIS PULLEN PHOTO/CRANBROOKPHOTO.COM

Forward Luke Philp (front) is headed to Toronto Maple Leafs rookie camp.

After going undrafted in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, Luke Philp and Jon Martin will get a chance to audition their talents to NHL clubs after all.

According to Kootenay Ice president/general manager Jeff Chynoweth, forward Luke Philp has received an invite to attend Toronto Maple Leafs rook-

ie camp while forward Jon Martin will attend Vancouver Canucks rookie camp.

Philp, an 18-year-old native of Canmore, Alta., posted 77 points in 71 regular season games last season with the Ice. Despite being ranked 80th overall amongst North American skaters by the NHL’s Central Scouting Service, the 5-foot-10 pivot went undrafted at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft in Philadel-

phia.

Martin, 18, registered 18 points in 65 regular season contests with the Ice last season while also stacking up 105 penalty minutes. The 6-foot-2 native of Winnipeg will look to sell his size and grit to a retooling Canucks organization.

The Toronto Maple Leafs 2014 Rookie Tournament is being hosted in London, Ont. from Sept. 13 to 16 and features the Ottawa Sena-

tors, Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks.

Vancouver Canucks rookie camp will be held in Penticton, B.C. once again this year as the Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets converge for the 2014 Young Stars Classic.

Players are expected to report Thursday, Sept.

11 with puck dropping on the classic Friday, Sept. 12.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) No wonder others are jealous of your energy and enthusiasm.

You seem to draw the results you want. A child could play a major role in what goes on.

Today the universe seems to greenlight any opportunities that enter your life. Tonight: Find a good reason to celebrate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll see what is happening, and you’ll decide to sit in the dugout and let others play the game! As a result, you will learn a lot about the people around you. A partner might get upset because he or she wants your attention. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be in the mood to be more adventuresome, as long as you have your friends behind you. You seem to say the right words to get the responses you desire. This pattern will continue for a while. You could be overtired by the end of the day.

Tonight: Midweek break.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be too concerned about someone’s reactions if you express your true self. At the same time, if you hold back, you still might not like the response you get. Try not to be difficult in an argument that is likely to arise. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You seem to be anywhere but in the present moment. Your mind might drift to someone who is not as involved in your life as he or she used to be. You often manipulate others with your charm, but you really don’t need to. Be spontaneous. Tonight: Into the midweek scene.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel completely challenged by a situation. Just follow your instincts, and you will land well, no matter what. You are in a period in which you are like a cat with nine lives. Reach out to someone you really care about. Tonight: Spend time with a good friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others will come forward; some

Tundra

of them will have questions, while others will have some remarkable stories to share.

Lighten up, and enjoy those around you. You understand the importance of camaraderie.

Tonight: Live life to its fullest.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might hesitate to continue down the path you currently are on. Maintain your focus, especially when dealing with others whom you count on. Your attention flatters many people, yet others seem to get nervous around you. Ask yourself why.

Tonight: Off to the gym.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Sometimes you can’t seem to suppress your energy. You have a strong sense of direction and a strong sense of what needs to happen. Pushing others will not work; you simply need to let them notice the benefits of heading down your chosen path. Tonight: Out partying.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) How much stress do you think you add to your life? Try to relax about a domestic matter.

Clearly, worrying doesn’t help.

You have more control of your life when you are in control of yourself. A friend might push you hard to agree with him or her. Tonight: Mosey on home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to understand what is motivating you with a friend. What do you really want from this person? Someone who is quite authoritative could push your buttons. Lie low and rethink a decision, and you will be a lot happier as a result. Tonight: Join a favorite person.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be aware of how much you offer to others. Sometimes you give too much of yourself, which results in you getting hurt. Let others make more of an effort, and the results will be much better. A long-distance call could be agitating you. Tonight: Be where there is music.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: How do you get help for a friend who appears to be drifting into dementia?

“Marjorie” and I have known each other for more than 20 years, and we have lunch every two weeks. When we first met, Marjorie was bright, energetic and involved in many activities. She is now in her mid-60s.

Two years ago, she suffered a couple of mini-strokes. At first, there were no obvious changes, but as time goes on, it has become more and more difficult to converse with her. She speaks in non sequiturs, has great difficulty finding the right word to express herself and often uses inappropriate phrases. She frequently misunderstands what I am saying and responds oddly. She now has considerable difficulty dealing with calculating the amount of her lunch check tip.

We have a friend whose wife has advanced dementia and is now confined to a care facility. He believes Marjorie is exhibiting the same symptoms. Marjorie seems completely unaware of how she has changed, and I am concerned that she needs help. It also alarms me that Marjorie is still driving and could injure herself or others. I am concerned that the workmen she hires to help around her house are taking advantage of her by charging excessive amounts for their services. If her funds are drained, she will have to substantially reduce her standard of living.

Annie, I am one of Marjorie’s closest friends, and yet I’m reluctant to say anything to her about this. I don’t want to hurt her. How do you tell someone she is losing her mind? -- Concerned Friend Dear Concerned: You don’t. You tell her you are worried about her and ask whether she’s had a medical checkup recently. Marjorie’s problem may not be dementia, but she won’t know until she checks. (Sometimes, something as treatable as a urinary tract infection can mimic dementia.) If Marjorie has family, please notify them about her deteriorating mental state and suggest they accompany her to the doctor.

You also can contact the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org) helpline at 1-800-2723900.

Dear Annie: In your reply to “At a Loss for Words,” I was surprised you called a grandmother narcissistic because she didn’t want to attend her grandchildren’s college graduations, even though she spoils other grandchildren.

There could be a lot of reasons why Grandma made this choice.

She may think graduations are boring when she has to sit for hours waiting for a 10-second walk across the stage while people in the audience hoot and holler obnoxiously.

Maybe she would’ve had to travel to these events and didn’t want to. And did these grandchildren write thank-you notes for the gifts Grandma gave them over the years?

Grandma’s love language might be gifts, while the daughter’s is quality time, and sitting through a graduation is not quality anything. Chances are the daughter is more hurt than the graduates. She needs to grow up and stop the woe-is-me attitude. -- A Grandma Who Hates Graduations Dear Grandma: Grandparents don’t attend their grandkids’ events because they are exciting. They go to show their support.

If a graduation is “too boring” to be supportive, then Grandma is putting herself first. But we agree about the thank-you notes.

Dear Annie: “Salem, Oregon” asked how to get her family to stop giving her Christmas gifts. For several years, I wanted that, too, but my family wouldn’t agree.

Last year, I sent everyone an email telling them I would accept only handmade gifts or a notice of a gift to charity (monetary or that they volunteered). One planted a tree in my name, and I received a card from a charity when another helped with a special project. I plan to do the same thing this year. -- Feeling Great Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

David Gilman Spencer Righton passed away suddenly on Saturday, August 9, 2014 with his family at his side.

David was born on June 20, 1943 to Chester and Sarah Righton. David was born in Toronto, Ontario and moved to Kimberley when he was 3.

He worked for Cominco for 24 years and then worked at the Tembec Pulp Mill until he retired in December 2013. He was a member of the Kimberley Fellowship Baptist Church for over 30 years and his faith meant everything to him. He loved to ski and when he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to do that any more took to walking. He was a big fan of the Kimberley Dynamiters and shared that love with his family and friends. He also loved to travel and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when he met his wife Olwen. They were married on June 7, 1976 in Bristol, England and were married for 38 years. They had 3 children, Mark, Colin and Jonathan. David was devoted to his family and was a wonderful grandfather. Our last trip as a family was a cruise to Alaska last year which now has so many special memories.
