Rivers rise after rains BULLETIN STAFF

Five people in three kayaks were rescued after they overturned in the Kootenay River near Skookumchuck on Saturday afternoon. Search and Rescue Teams were activated by the Emergency Coordination Center after receiving a report of persons needing assistance. Kimberley RCMP, Police Dog Service and BC Ambulance were also involved in the call out. The call for assistance was received Saturday, May 30 at 2:30 p.m. after the kayaks overturned in the swift water. Two persons were able to safely get to shore and call for help. Two others managed to make it to shore downstream and one was missing. Nine SAR members from Kimberley and Cranbrook were involved. With the variable conditions of the river two SAR members conducted an assessment with a helicopter. Two subjects were spotted and safely removed. The third subject was spotted and after transporting the other subjects to a waiting ambulance they were able to go back and safely pick up the last subject. Two of the subjects had minor injuries. The results could have been tragic for all involved but the risk was significantly greater for one person who was pinned against a log jam by the flowing water for a period of time. Of the five only two were wearing life jackets. “Fortunately this incident ended well thanks to the combined efforts of our Search and Rescue volunteers, Kimberley RCMP, Police Dog team, BC Ambulance and Big Horn Helicopters,” said Cpl. Newel of Kimberley RCMP. “This could have been tragic and people need to recognize the risks and hazards associated to these types of activities.” Police and other emergency agencies would like to remind people that with recent heavy rain the water levels have risen considerably. Rivers can be dangerous — they may appear smooth but there are deceptively turbulent undercurrents below the surface and it is relentless in power.

The Canadian Mental Health Association Kootenays held their Volunteer Gala last Friday evening at the St. Eugene Resort. Winning Volunteer Family of the Year were the Korans from Kimberley. Above are Chad, who serves as President and trainer of the Kimberley Dynamiters, coaches baseball and serves as a call rank firefighter with the City of Kimberley; the Bulletin’s own Nicole, whose feet rarely hit the ground during minor hockey season — especially this year as she organized the Bantam Tier 2 Provincial championships in Cranbrook — and son Braiden. Missing from the photo is the Koran’s youngest son Joey. Both boys volunteer at the concession at the arena during minor hockey and Dynamiter games.

Volunteers in Kimberley and Cranbrook work tirelessly behind the scenes in countless ways, and last Friday night at the St. Eugene Resort it was their time to shine. The Canadian Mental Health Association Kootenays hosted their annual Volunteer Gala and four special awards were presented — Volunteer Family of the Year, Youth Volunteer of the Year,

Volunteer Group of the Year and Volunteer of the Year. Lori Stolson organized the evening for CMHA and says the evening is always a highlight for her. “It’s always sold out. It’s a great evening. “The Canadian Mental Health Association hosts the gala. We put out a call for nominations to all non-profits who host volunteers.” What’s the connection between mental health and volunteering? It’s pretty simple, says Stolson. “Our community absolutely needs volunteers to provide services where there are gaps; es-

pecially with seniors. Volunteers fill those gaps. “But it’s enormously beneficial to the volunteers themselves. You feel good having a purpose, and it gives you a sense of belonging to your community.” The evening itself could not take place without the sponsor, Investors Group. “Without them there is no way we could pull this off,” Stolson said. “And I have to mention St. Eugene as well. They really help us with the cost of the pavilion.” Winning Volunteer Group of the Year was Bud Abbott and Friends. See GALA Page 4

Patients who have endured excessive waits for surgery may get into the operating room faster this summer. The province is injecting $10 million into the system to perform an extra 1,000 surgeries province-wide in an effort to reduce wait times. The extra money will be targeted for patients who have waited longer than 40 weeks for surgery, Health Minister Terry Lake said Monday. Orthopedic surgeries, cataracts, hernias, plastic surgeries and ear, nose and throat procedures will be eligible for accelerated treatment. Lake said the money

row that the Cranbrook Home Depot has chosen Operation Street Angel as the beneficiary of its Orange Door Project. Last year through this partnership, over $15,000 was raised with the proceeds being used to renovate Operation Street Angel’s new location at 46-17th Avenue South. Operation Street Angel is a program initiated by the Ktu-

will open up extra operating room time in hospitals across the province, and in some cases it will be used to contract private clinics to perform extra day surgeries. “Patients want to have their surgeries done,” Lake told reporters. “If the quality is there and if it reduces wait lists and it’s paid for and administered by the public system, I think British Columbians would agree with that approach.” Just one per cent of surgeries in B.C. were performed by private clinics using public funds in 2013. It’s not yet clear how much that might increase but Island Health said in April it’s seeking a private clinic operator to provide up to 4,000 day surgeries a year, or about 10 per cent of the region’s annual total.

Further cash infusions for surgery increases are expected in the fall and early next year. Along with the promised short-term relief, the province is also pursuing longer-range measures to make the surgical system more efficient. Many family doctors often refer to the same heavily booked surgeon due to reputation or preference, while other surgeons are sometimes idle. Lake said one alternative may be to instead shift to a pool of surgeons where patients get assigned to the first one available. Similarly, patients who face a long wait to get into their local hospital may be urged to instead get their surgery performed at another hospital an hour or so down the road where

OR time is going unused. “For patients, it’s not as convenient perhaps,” Lake said. “But it is an opportunity to have their surgery done faster.” More recruitment and training of anaesthetists and surgical nurses is also part of the long-range plan. B.C. has increased the numbers of surgeries it performs over the years, but demand has risen faster. Lake pointed to soaring demand for procedures such as hip replacements over the last 15 years as patients realize what recent medical advancements now offer them. Each year there are more seniors who are typically living longer lives. “We know these surgeries are becoming the expectation for people

who want to live a good quality of life and that is the demand we want to meet.” More than 50 of the province’s nearly 300 operating rooms are not regularly staffed, according to a health ministry discussion paper on surgical reform. It said operating rooms are generally idle because health authorities have insufficient funds to run them, but in some cases they’re shuttered because of a lack of specialized staff such as anaesthestists or insufficient local demand. According to the provincial surgical wait time website, the typical patient is waiting 45 weeks for knee replacement surgery and up to 10 per cent of them wait 77 weeks or longer. B.C.’s target is to complete knee surgeries within 26 weeks.

College of the Rockies Celebrates 39th Annual Convocation College of the Rockies President and CEO, David Walls, presided over the College’s 39th convocation ceremony on Friday, May 29. In his address, Walls commended students for their courage in pursuing education as a means to transform their lives and encouraged them to continue to be lifelong learners into the future. The ceremony began with the presentation of academic medals. The Lieutenant Governor’s Silver Medal, awarded to a student who has exceled in a vocational or career program and who contributed in a positive way to life at the College, was presented to Chantelle deJersey. Chantelle completed the Certified Dental Assistant program and plans to continue to remain and work in Cranbrook. The Governor General’s Bronze Medal, considered to be the greatest

honour that can be bestowed upon a graduate of a two-year program, is awarded to the student who has achieved the highest academic standing upon graduating from a two-year diploma or associate degree program. This year’s recipient was Kyler Robertson. Kyler graduated from the Business Administration Marketing program and has recently returned from studying in the Dominican Republic on a scholarship where he was able to complete some of his College of the Rockies courses online. Kyler will be returning to the College to complete the Bachelor of Business Administration program. Hannah Van Der Roest was the recipient of the President’s Award of Excellence. This award is made possible through donations from College staff, faculty and management and is presented to a first- or second-year student, plan-

ning to complete a fouryear degree at the College or elsewhere, who has achieved the highest cumulative grade-point average. Hannah studied sciences at the College earning a 3.8 (out of four) grade-point-average. She will be transferring to Simon Fraser University to work toward a Bachelor of Science, after which she hopes to attend medical school to possibly become a pediatrician. “It was a great thrill to present, along with our Board Chair Dave Handy, these medals to such worthy recipients. I am proud of each and every one of our graduates and to the terrific team we have in place at the College that played a part in each of their success stories,” Walls says. Photographs of the graduation ceremony can be found on the College’s Facebook page: facebook.com/cotr1. Learn more about College of the Rockies at: cotr.ca

Three impaired drivers nabbed over weekend near Wasa Cpl. Chris Ne wel

Over the weekend Kimberley RCMP and Southeast District Traffic Services removed three drivers from our highway. On Friday May 29, just after 7 p.m., a Traffic Services officer observed a vehicle near Wasa travelling well above the posted speed limit. The officer executed a traffic stop and while dealing with the driver noted signs of impairment by a drug. Tests were performed and the officer formed the grounds to prohibit the driver for 24 hours. In addition to the suspension the vehicle was impounded and the driver given a violation ticket for Speeding and Drive without Reasonable Consideration. A small amount of marihuana was also seized. Around 10 p.m. the same night Kimberley RCMP received a report of a possible impaired driver on highway 93/95 north of Wasa. A Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement officer was working in the area, he saw the vehicle and was able to stop it and wait for

police. There was insufficient evidence for impaired driving but police learned the subject was prohibited from driving. The vehicle was impounded and the driver will attend court in July on charges of Drive while Prohibited. On Saturday May 30, Kimberley RCMP and Traffic Services conducted several road checks along highway 95A. Around 9:30 a vehicle approached the check being held near Ta Ta Creek. While dealing with the driver the officer

noted several signs of alcohol consumption. A breath demand was read and initially the driver refused to provide a sample. Under the Immediate Roadside Prohibition program the driver would receive a 90 day driving suspension along with a 30 day vehicle impound. The officer explained this to the driver and in the end he supplied a breath sample which was a Warn. The driver received a three day suspension and vehicle impoundment.

Kimberley’s Carol Fergus was CMHA Kootenay’s 10th Annual Volunteer Gala’s Volunteer of the Year. Carol has been active on the Kimberley Arts Council for many years and drives many events such as First Saturdays.

CMHA Volunteer Gala From page 1 Abbott is a familiar name to everyone but this recognition was specifically for the way he and his musical group entertain seniors in both Kimberley and Cranbrook on a weekly basis. “They play every Wednesday morning and afternoon and every Thursday afternoon,” Stolson said. “They are wonderful.” “What a kid,” says Stolson of Youth Volunteer Maddie Guimont of Kimberley. “She is active in Free the Children — she started with the club in Grade 5. She is with the East Kootenay Volleyball Club,

one of the leaders in the Halloween food drive, We Scare Hunger, one of the organizers of the 24hour famine held earlier in May. She went to Haiti last year with Hungry for Life and volunteered in a clinic. She’s a very busy girl and so sweet.” Winning Volunteer Family of the Year were the Korans, who focus most of their volunteer hours around minor sports and the Kimberley Dynamiters. Chad is president and trainer for the Nitros, coaches minor baseball and is a call-rank firefighter for the City of Kimberley. Nicole has served as

manager for many minor hockey teams, organized the very successful Bantam provincial championships in Cranbrook this year, and runs the concession as the Civic Centre all weekend. “A very well deserved recognition for this family,” Stolson said. Finally, Volunteer of the Year went to Carol Fergus, whose name is synonymous with the arts in Kimberley. Whether its the Home Grown Coffee House or First Saturdays, Carol will always be found behind the scenes doing the heavy lifting that keeps events such as these going.

MLA Norm Macdonald mitted to this under oath, the land was removed, and the developer saw the value of the land in question drastically increased. Since this time, the BC Liberals have taken further steps to make it even easier for property developers to buy agricultural land and change the zoning with no regard for the needs of the province to feed itself. Last year, the BC Liberals passed a law that changed the criteria for getting land out of the ALR to rules that were so loosely defined and nebulous, that virtually any request could be granted. Prior to his firing, Richard Bullock had been outspoken in his support of the ALR, and critical of the changes that the government

We are sorry for the inconvenience. We will restore power as soon as we can.

Why should the firing of Agricultural Land Commission chair Richard Bullock matter to you? Because exclusions of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) can make property developers a great deal of money, and Mr. Bullock was determined that agricultural land should be used for agricultural purposes, standing in the way of friends of government who want to make a lot of money. How do I know this is true? A prominent BC Liberal, a politically appointed Ministerial Assistant to the Minister of Finance, pled guilty in court to taking a $50,000 bribe to get a specific piece of land out of the ALR. Imagine how much money that developer knew he was going to make if he was willing to pay someone in government an amount that for many people is more than a year’s salary. A top BC Liberal ad-

was forcing on the Agricultural Land Commission. He knew that Bill 24 was the final step in undermining the ALR and was going to make it difficult for government every time an inappropriate exclusion was pushed through. Mr. Bullock understands that we have a great responsibility to protect our agricultural lands, not just in the present, but for future generations. We need to do everything we can to increase food security, and we cannot do that if we have destroyed our agricultural land base. If you look at the BC Liberal record on food security and protecting agricultural land it is more than just an example of simple failure. It is a record that includes bribery and corruption. The firing of Richard Bullock reminds us just how far we’ve strayed from the original intent of the Agricultural Land Reserve. And the price we will pay will be felt for many generations.

The Traditions of the Sea and the EU

ate last year, the governments of the European Union, having refused to share the cost of a very successful operation called Mare Nostrum in which the Italian Navy rescued tens of thousands of refugees from sinking boats in the Mediterranean, replaced it with a much smaller operation called Operation Triton. Its purpose (though they didn’t put it exactly that way) was NOT to rescue the refugees, because then they ended up in the European Union. Triton was a “coastguard” operation, with a third of the budget of Mare Nostrum and orders only to patrol Italian and Maltese coastal waters. They could save any boatloads of refugees that made it that far, but they were not to do “search and rescue” operations off the Libyan coast, which is where most of the overloaded boats actually founder. Inevitably, the death toll from drownings in the first five months of this year was thirty times higher than in the same period last year: at least 1,750 human beings. The losses were so shocking that an emergency EU meeting in late April boosted Triton’s budget back up to the level of Mare Nostrum — but they didn’t change its “mission”. It was still only supposed to operate in EU coastal waters. But then something odd happened. Last weekend, ships from the Italian, British, German and Irish navies rescued more than 4,000 people in two days — the vast majority of them just off the Libyan coast. The EU has not condemned the operation, but it wasn’t really the EU’s plan. What drove it was the sheer reluctance of the navies to stand by and let

people drown. The European politicians face a huge demand from their electorates to stop the seemingly endless flow of “migrants” (the preferred term for refugees, since it elicits less sympathy) across the Mediterranean. 170,000 people made it across last year, and it could be double that number this year unless lots and lots of them drown. But the voters (or most of them) don’t want to hear about that, and most of the politicians are not very brave. So the politicians did what the voters wanted. At Gwynne some level they must have understood the conseDyer quences of stopping the search-and-rescue operation, but they found ways of lying to themselves. First of all they said that all these life-saving operations were just encouraging more people to risk the crossing. Stop saving them, and they won’t come. Ridiculous: these are desperate people who have already faced many big risks to get as far as Libya. They kept coming, and the horrendous death-toll this spring got the media so excited that the politicians had to do something — but not, of course, anything that would actually result in more people arriving in Europe. So they gave more money to Operation Triton, but they still didn’t give it a life-saving role. Instead, they came up with some nonsense about saving the refugees from drowning by destroying the people-smugglers’ boats on the shores of Libya before they went to sea. It’s the “new slave trade,” and we’re just saving the refugees from themselves. Of course, the EU hasn’t actually destroyed any boats (which would be an act of war against Libya).

What they didn’t reckon with was their own navies, who come at this from a very different angle. The sailors don’t have to worry about the voters, and on the whole they are not terribly fond of the politicians, but they certainly do know about the sea. And one of the oldest traditions of the sea is that you do not leave people to drown. Everybody who has spent much time at sea knows that it is an intrinsically hostile environment. Alone and unsupported by technology (including flotation gear), you will survive in the water for a matter of minutes, or at most, if you are very fit and lucky, for an hour or two. So when you see somebody in the water, you do everything you can to save them — because another time, it could be you. When I was in the navy we were once first on the scene of a collision in which a tanker had exploded in flames. There was little chance of survivors, as oil had spilled and the sea was on fire around the stricken ship, but we searched all night and into the next day anyway. Nobody questioned why we were doing it, nobody even discussed it. There is no higher priority in a peacetime navy. I was not on the warships attached to Operation Triton to overhear the conversations of the people on the bridge, but I am sure that they were outraged by their orders. So they gradually pushed out beyond the appointed bounds of Operation Triton to the places where the people were actually dying, and none of the politicians dared to expose themselves as heartless bastards by telling them to come back. Eventually it has become the new de facto policy of the European Union — just like the old Mare Nostrum policy, before the European governments got at it.

Locals strike success at BCGA Zone 1 Women’s championship Taylor Rocc a

The BCGA Zone 1 Women’s Golf Championship wrapped up this past weekend at Kimberley Golf Club, with plenty of local flavour finding success at the annual tournament. The 36-hole tournament was held at the Kimberley Golf Club for the first time in more than a decade, with opening-round action going May 30, and final-round play wrapping up May 31. For the third consecutive year, Kimberley’s Julia Dereniwsky claimed the BCGA Zone 1 Women’s Amateur title. Dereniwsky carded a 36-hole score of 147, working her way past Kelly Hellman of Balfour (153). Dereniwsky claimed her first Zone 1 title in 2013 at Kokanee Springs Resort, firing a two-day 161 to beat out Mackenzie Field of Christina Lake (164). In 2014, she repeated as Zone 1 champion at Creston Golf Club, carding a two-round 151 to once again defeat Field (163). Apart from Dereniwsky claiming the overall low gross title, Cranbrook’s Mary Ann Bennett was awarded the Heather Nunn Trophy for registering the senior ladies low net top score (138).

Dynamiters sign trio of recruits Local products Rota and Van Steinburg join Moser as newest Nitros

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters aren’t wasting anytime filling holes as they retool in hopes of making a second consecutive KIJHL championship run in 2015-16. The Nitros signed a trio of players Tuesday morning, including a pair of local East Kootenay products. Forward James Rota (1998) of Kimberley, defenceman Tyler Van Steinburg (1998) of Cranbrook, and centre Austyn Moser (1997) all join the club following successful Midget ‘AA’ campaigns in 2014-15. “We’re pretty happy with what we have, we’re just looking to add to it,” said Mike Reid, Kimberley Dynamiters general manager, Tuesday morning. “We thought we would be in a position to win the league this [coming] year. To be defending champs now, everybody’s got us circled on their calendar. “We’re going to be the hunted rather than the hunter this year.” Rota and Van Steinburg will be names familiar to Dynamiters

fans for a host of reasons. Apart from being locally raised, both Rota and Van Steinburg were listed as affiliate players (APs) with the Dynamiters last season. The 6-foot Rota has appeared in eight games with the Dynamiters over two seasons as an AP, collecting one goal and one assist. “He’s put the work in, on and off the ice, to give himself this opportunity,” Reid said. “As local content, we like that and he’s proven he’s ready to make the jump this year. “He’s going to have to cut his teeth as a fulltime player. It’s a little easier when you’re wearing a cage and you’re out there as an affiliate…This year, we want him to slide somewhere into our top nine at some point in the season. He’s going to have to earn his ice time just like everyone else. “He’s a big kid and he’s going to continue growing. We see him as one of those kids who hasn’t played his best hockey yet.”

The 16-year-old spent the bulk of the 2014-15 season with the Cranbrook Knights of the South Central Alberta Hockey League, where he registered six goals and 21 points in 35 games. Van Steinburg appeared in two games with the Nitros during the 2014-15 campaign, collecting two assists. Prior to his time in Kimberley, the right-shooting defenceman dressed in three games as an AP with the Nelson Leafs during the 2013-14 season. He is also the younger brother of Dynamiters forward Trevor Van Steinburg. The younger Van Steinburg split his 201415 season between the Kootenay Major Midget Ice of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League and the Cranbrook Knights of the South Central Alberta Hockey League. “Tyler had a tough year last year playing ‘AAA’ Midget over in Nelson,” Reid said. “It just didn’t work for him. He’s

really dedicated himself off the ice these last few months to get himself into tremendous shape. “He’s a 17-year-old, right-hand shot defenceman that skates well. Those guys are hard to find. We’re pretty happy that he’s ready to make the jump to the Dynamiters.” Though new to the KIJHL, Moser is expected to factor into the offense right away after he rang up 26 goals and 55 points in 35 games with the Taber Golden Suns of the South Central Alberta Hockey League. The 5-foot-11, 170pound pivot ranked 10th in the South Central Alberta Hockey league in scoring last season. “We’re expecting [Moser] to jump in and contribute right away,” Reid said. “He’s considered probably one of the best players in the South Central league.” Rota and Moser have big shoes to fill as the first signings since forwards Coy Prevost and Braden Saretsky left the team for Junior ‘A’ opportunities with the Canmore Eagles of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

Bennett edged Ursula Schroeder of Fernie, who placed as the runner up with a two-day total of 139. The Messer Trophy for aggregate low net team was awarded to a contingent of Kimberley golfers, featuring Elaine Dereniwsky, Julia Dereniwsky, Debra Krantz and Sue Osterkampf. The team of ladies carded an 18-hole score of 289 to defeat Sparwood’s entry by three strokes.

The Zone 1 Championship serves as a tournament qualifier for the B.C. Women’s Amateur, B.C. Women’s Seniors Championship and B.C. Women’s Junior Championship. A total of four competitors from Zone 1 qualified for their respective provincial events, including: Julia Dereniwsky (amateur), Kira Dereniwsky (junior), Kelly Hellman (amateur & junior) and Cherie Baker (senior). Zone 1 -- Kootenays is home to golfers from 23 clubs throughout the Regional District of East Koo-

tenay, Regional District of Central Kootenay, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary as well as Electoral Area A of the Columbia/ Shuswap Regional District.

Winners at BCGA Zone 1 Women’s Golf Championship: Julia Dereniwsky, Kimberley (overall low gross, 147); Susan White, Sparwood (overall low net, 132); Cherie Baker, Creston (senior low gross, 157); Mary Ann Bennett, Cranbrook (senior low net, 138); Susan White, Sparwood (low net 18.1-36.5 handicap, 65); Team Kimberley (aggregate low net team, 289); Kira Dereniwsky, Kimberley (low gross, championship flight); Nancy Parkins , Radium (low net, championship flight); Nancy Fraser, Kimberley (low gross, first flight); Heather Harrington, Radium (low net, first flight); Sherry Broom, Fairmont (low gross, second flight); Shirley Bergman, Fairmont (low net, second flight); Linda Harrison, Cranbrook (low gross, third flight); Sue Boyd, Fernie (low net, third flight); Dolores Neilson, Fairmont (low gross, fourth flight); Debbie McLean, Kimberley (low net, fourth flight); Deb deTremaudan, Rossland (low gross, fifth flight); Jill Snell, Fernie (low net, fifth flight).

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Appreciate the ease of relating to others that you seem to be experiencing right now. An awkward moment could occur when relating to a child. You might need to figure out what is going on and take another stab at this same conversation. Tonight: Till the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You finally will be able to identify with a partner over a difficult issue or need. Nevertheless, you still might not agree with this person. For the sake of peace, consider going along for the ride and seeing what happens. Tonight: Make plans for a summer getaway. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your ability to get through problems is heightened. You will need to defer to someone else more frequently; otherwise, you could find it difficult to relate to this person. Both of you have valid ideas. Hold off on making judgments for now. Tonight: Buy a token gift of af-

fection. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your diligence and willingness to pitch in will score high with others, specifically a close friend or loved one who counts on your caring. You could be feeling as if you don’t have enough time to do what you want. Revise your schedule if need be. Tonight: Play it easy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 24) You have so many ideas right now that you might find it difficult to get into a routine, though you might have to. Others seem to enjoy your upbeat nature, but a boss expects more, and that becomes clear. Avoid a problem rather than create one. Tonight: Be fluid. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will want to rethink a matter more thoroughly. You might not realize how important this issue is for you until something goes wrong. Keep a steady course. Reiterate any question if you are not clear about the response. Tonight: Go out and let off some steam. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Speak your mind and get past an issue. Everything will work out, though perhaps not immediately. For now, you need to be more in touch with what you need rather than what others need. News heads in from a distance, and quite quickly at that. Tonight: Out and about. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Use good sense with your finances. You need to hear what someone else has to say. You might be thinking of an investment for which you will need to carefully weigh the pros and cons. Tonight: Have an important discussion with someone in the know. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will appreciate the support you get from several people. The real question is: Can you open up more without feeling like you are taking a risk? Someone might surprise you with an insight that is not only provocative but also enticing. Tonight: A quick check on your budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be much more involved in a situation than you

need to be. Why not deal with the issue another day? Tomorrow would work. Try to stay out of noncontroversial waters, as it probably won’t bring you any kind of benefit. Tonight: How about a massage? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will zero in on what is important and go full speed ahead. You could discover that the time has come to act. Use caution with someone whom you need to have an important discussions with. You might reveal a lot about yourself. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) No one likes dealing with mayhem, especially with finances, but you’ll witness a friend create just that. You could be taken aback by this person’s bluntness. Know that you need to get involved. Just be polite, and don’t let him or her get to you. Tonight: Time for some fun. t BORN TODAY Journalist Anderson Cooper (1967), poet Allen Ginsberg (1926), actor Tony Curtis (1925) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My friend “Nancy” has become one of those stepmothers who negatively influences her husband’s relationship with his adult children. When things began to turn sour between Nancy and her husband’s daughter, who lived nearby, the daughter retaliated by distancing herself from her father, refusing to see him and avoiding his calls. Nancy persuaded her husband to move across the country. She blames the move on the daughter, who “drove them away,” but I’m sure his daughter sees it as Nancy making sure Dad is totally alienated from his family. Now, when Nancy’s husband speaks of visiting his daughter and her family, Nancy actively tries to discourage him, reminding him that he wasn’t treated properly. Family members have suggested to Nancy that she allow her husband to handle his relationship with his daughter on his own, but she’s unwilling to do that. I hope Nancy’s husband reads this and sees himself. Perhaps other men with controlling wives will, too. He should remember that his relationship with his children predates his marriage to Nancy and that he needs to honor that relationship and quit being so passive around his wife. -- On the Sidelines, but Been There Dear Sidelines: Many men would rather abandon their children than fight with their wives. They also figure the kids don’t need them that much. But truthfully, kids always need their parents’ love and support, and once a husband takes a firm stand on the issue, the arguments tend to be shorter, and the wife often backs off. But it takes some initial effort. And by the way, this dynamic works with either spouse. There are husbands who push their wives to move away from their kids, and the wives allow it. Sometimes it borders on an abusive, isolating relationship. You can’t force someone to grow a spine. You’ve expressed your opinion to Nancy, and she has chosen to ignore you. We hope her husband finds a way to reconcile with his daughter before the estrangement is permanent. Dear Annie: Last night, my husband finally came home after being away for three weeks. He was exhausted, mentally and physically. He is still tense, and I know it will take him at least a week to recover. My husband is a trial lawyer. When he takes a case, he applies all of his training and skill, as well as his physical and mental energy toward helping his client. He wears himself out worrying about the case. He works as hard as he can on his client’s behalf until the case is finished. It takes a toll, but I am proud of him. I wish the people who make jokes about lawyers could see how much my husband cares for his clients and how hard he works for them. -- Married To a Lawyer Dear Married: What a sweet and supportive letter. Lawyers generally have a terrible reputation (“sharks” comes to mind), but most attorneys are dedicated and extremely hardworking professionals. Their job is to represent the client. They are obligated to do their best, but others often blame the attorney if the client is unpopular or the lawyer is aggressive in the client’s defense. But everyone is entitled to legal representation, and no one would want an attorney who makes a half-hearted effort. And many lawyers work pro bono (unpaid) cases in what little spare time they have.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 1. Advertise to Reach New Customers. Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Quitting.

SERVICES GUIDE

Jody ~ 250-919-1575

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back. A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a better chance of getting their business if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

Terry Fox Run organizer needed for Cranbrook Submit ted

This year marks the 35th annual Terry Fox Run and Cranbrook is seeking a motivated, compassionate volunteer Run Organizer to continue Terry’s legacy here. Terry Fox has inspired an incredible wave of change over the past 35 years with his legacy living on in Cranbrook. For the past 30 years, Cranbrook has hosted a Terry Fox Run. The Run is an opportunity for people of a variety of backgrounds and ages to come together and contribute to the growing total of close to $700 million that has been raised, worldwide in Terry’s name, in support of impressive and vital progress made in cancer research over the past three decades (for more information about Terry Fox funded research projects visit www.terryfox.org or www.tfri.ca). As the volunteer Run Organizer, your responsibilities will include recruiting committee members, confirming the route, promoting the run, and overseeing run day activities. The time commitment ranges from two to four hours weekly during the months leading up to the National Run Day, which is on Sunday, September 20 this year. Whether as a

couple or individual, the volunteer Run Organizer will always be assisted by the Terry Fox Foundation in the planning process, and given the resources to make it a success. “The Terry Fox Run has been with us in Cranbrook since 1985”, said Donna White, British Columbia and Yukon Provincial Director. “An astounding $20,000 has been raised at this location for innovative cancer research.” The Terry Fox Foundation is proud of the 84 cents of every dollar raised that goes directly to cancer research initiatives. The Run, an all-inclusive, family-oriented activity, charges no entry fee or minimum pledge amount. Participants can run, walk, blade or bike. Terry’s legacy continues to positively affect countless people and lead to breakthroughs that were unimaginable when Terry set out on his historic Marathon of Hope 35 years ago. If you wish to volunteer with a truly grassroots organization that values all contributions, and whose mission it is to help every cancer patient, please contact Donna White at 1.888.836.9786 or donna. white@terryfoxrun.org for more information.
