Expect bears With poor berry crop, bears moving closer to town FOR THE BULLETIN

Two juvenile grizzly bears are currently being monitored by conservation officers in an area off Mission Road, at the north end of the City of Cranbrook.

The two grizzlies have been seen regularly by residents over the past few days, but are not causing any trouble, according to the Conservation Officer Service.

Earlier this week, a mother bear and three cubs were seen in the Kennedy Road area,

while a lone black bear had been spotted in the same area feeding on choke cherry bushes before moving closer to the popular Rails to Trails pathway nearby.

There are numerous reports of bear sightings in and around Kimberley.

The Conservation Officer Service is expecting to see a growing number of bears and perhaps an increase in bear issues over the next month, as bears will be foraging for food for the winter.

With the drought this summer, the berry crop is extremely poor and bears are moving closer to communities where food may be more easily accessible.

City hires new Corporate Officer BULLETIN STAFF

A new Corporate Officer began work at Kimberley City Hall today.

Maryke McGinn has worked in law for the last 14 years and has been legal counsel for the City of Calgary for the last seven years. Prior to that, Maryke worked for a development company and in private practice with a national law firm.

Maryke and her husband Brendan grew up in Banff and have twin daughters. They have spent a lot of time in the Kootenays and are very excited about moving to Kimberley.

“I am excited to add someone of Maryke’s caliber to our management team at City Hall,” said Chief Administrative Officer Scott Som-

The Kimberley Seahorse Swim Club sent five swimmers to provincials in Victoria BC this August. The swimmers were Trent Walkley, Jackson Sorensen, Brooklyn Burki, and siblings Morgan and Kyle Dobi. Brooklyn Burki (centre) did an amazing job and came in third overall in the province. She medaled in the following events: Silver in 50 breast, Bronze in 50 Fly, Bronze in 100 IM and 4th in 100Free. Jackson Sorenson, second from right, also medaled. He got bronze in his breast stroke and placed 4th in his IM which was amazing because he went into his IM in 17th place. Congratulations to the team.

Refugee crisis a global responsibility, Friends of Burma says; Locals can help B A R RY CO U LT E R

The image of a drowned Syrian toddler, Alan Kurdi, washed up on a Turkish beach last week, has become a defining image of a refugee crisis widely regarded as the worst since the Second World War. Hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing wars in the Middle East and economic strife in Africa, for the most part trying to reach the countries of the European Union.

But while Europe has been roundly criticized for the reaction to the situation, there is growing awareness that the crisis is a worldwide responsibility, and people even at the local level can help out.

Shauna Jimenez is with East Kootenay Friends of Burma, an

organization that has been sponsoring and helping settle refugees in the area for 30 years. She calls the sudden attention on the crisis a reality check and a call to action.

“People are wondering,” Jimenez said. “They saw the pictures of little Alan and are asking ‘what can we do?’”

“One answer is, sponsor a refugee.”

The refugee individual or family to be sponsored doesn’t necessarily have to be Syrian, Jimenez added.

“There are 15 million bona fide refugees in the world [as designated by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees]. One million of these are Syrian — the number is growing every day.”

Jimenez says that “Fortress Europe” has been the term in the refugee community for a while now, describing that continents general reaction to refugees and migrants. But helping refugees is a global responsibility, she says.

“The spotlight is on the Syrians, but it’s also brought attention to an issue that’s been huge in my heart for 30 years.”

The East Kootenay Friends or Burma has been successfully welcoming people fleeing strife and oppression in other lands. Families and individuals from El Salvador, Cambodia, Burma, Eritrea and other countries now call the Cranbrook-Kimberley area home, and work and

raise their families here.

This local success has been the result of the Friends of Burma’s own efforts and those of local Sponsorship Agreement Holders (SAHs).

However, in recent years, the federal ministry Citizen and Immigration Canada have adopted new policies and regulations that make it extremely difficult for groups at the local level to continue with this successful integration of refugees.

“Canada is a compassionate country, but in recent years the federal government has really changed the rules about who and how many we can sponsor,” Jimenez said.

Company looking at solar farm potential Trevor Crawley Given the success of the Sun Mine, it looks like there are plans afoot for another solar-capturing facility in the area.

While the Sun Mine sits on Teck’s former Sullivan Mine Concentrator site outside Kimberley, this new proposed project is located between Cranbrook and Fort Steele.

The proposal, referred to the Regional District of East Kootenay in late August from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, involves seeking a crown land application for an investigative license to assess the potential for

a solar farm.

The application covers 300 hectares and is roughly located beyond a gravel pit adjacent to the St. Mary’s River in-between Cranbrook and Fort Steele. The vision is to have three separate areas capturing sunlight on the property.

Currently, the proposal is only at an investigative stage and, following RDEK board approval on Friday, the proponents are allowed to install a small weather station to collect weather information.

Should weather conditions prove favourable and a solar farm is proposed, the land will need to be referred back

to the RDEK for a rezoning application along with Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) approval for non-farm use.

The proponents— Node Engineering Corporation—are estimating as much as 45 megawatts of electricity can be produced and connected to a nearby B.C. Hydro substation.

Board chair Rob Gay says the RDEK is very much supportive of alternative energy, but notes that the proposal is still in a very early stage.

“Is that the right location? That’ll be something we’ll have to talk about when we get there. This is just to see if it could be a viable

Given the success of the Sun Mine near Kimberley (pictured above), it looks like there are plans afoot for another solar-capturing facility in the area.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook proposes to adopt “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3831, 2015”.

The proposed amendment to the Zoning Bylaw will add “Storage” as a permitted use to the C-2, Highway Commercial Zone, specific to the referenced properties only. Additional provisions to regulate the storage use are also being proposed. The new regulations include: • the storage use be located completely within an enclosed building or within a covered structure enclosed on a minimum of three sides; • permit screening up to 2.7 metres in height for the open side of the three sided structure; • the storage use be limited to a total gross floor area of 1506 m2; • the storage of automobiles, vehicles, RV’s, boats, trailers, and heavy equipment will be prohibited; • the use shall meet all applicable Provincial Health and Safety regulation and Fire regulations and shall be subject to fire and safety inspection.

operation,” he said.

“There’s some positives there in the fact that it was a gravel pit and parts of it are in use, but all of it isn’t, and it’s also located close to B.C. Hydro lines.”

Gay added that everyone is still caught up in the excitement of the

Sun Mine, which went live this summer and features 4,032 solar-cell modules, mounted on 96 solar trackers that generates 1.05 megawatts.

And there is plenty of room for expansion out at that site, he continued.

“I think there’s ample area there to put these in one area, which, to me, makes a lot of sense because I think there’s a lot of economies of scale when you’re putting some of the same infrastructure in place,” Gay said.

“The Kimberley one certainly, to me on the property, there’s a lot of opportunity with some reclaimed mine site that really doesn’t have neighbours, where, in this case, there will be some neighbouring properties that will want to have a say in it.”

The purpose of the proposed Zoning Amendment is to enable the development of a storage facility within a portion of the building located on the properties.

The subject properties are legally described as Lots 12-18, Block 319, District Lot 32 Kootenay District Plan 1231, and are located at 300 1st Avenue South, as shown on the reference map below.

Locals can help in global refugee crisis Continued from page 1 Private Sponsoring of Refugees (PSR) is a program created in Canada to help in the Southeast Asian crisis of the late 1970s, which saw a mass exodus of Vietnamese — the socalled Boat People. Private sponsorship groups (SAHs) operate under the PSR program.

“We sponsored up to 40,000 refugees a year then (during the Vietnamese crisis) — the rates have varied over the last 30 years,” Jimenez said. “But the government (recently) has put limits on private sponsorship.

“In 2011, we were told we can no longer sponsor as many refu-

gees as we want to sponsor. And it’s put limits on every group across the country.”

Jimenez said the relationship between Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the private SAHs should be a partnership — “like it was for 30 years. But now it’s become a dictatorship.

Jimenez says the term “Fortress Europe” has now been expanded to “Fortress Canada, based on these recent changes to Canadian policy.

“Refugee policy has been decimated in the last decade — but the attention on what’s been happening is

going to bring about change.”

In the meantime, the East Kootenay Friends of Burma continues with it’s work as best it can.

Both the cities of Cranbrook and Kimberley, under former mayors Stetski and McRae, officially committed to being safe havens for refugees.

“The refugees that come here are super successful, and they stay because they’re safe and they want to be included,” Jimenez said.

“People really want to come here — and that’s what Canada is built on. We’re all de-

Expect bears this fall From page 1 It is important for people – especially in the periphery of the City -- to be very diligent with managing their garbage properly and cleaning up any fallen fruit from trees on their properties. Bears will be hungry and looking for easy meals.

Please do not contact municipal offices or the local branch of the SPCA with wildlife issues. They are only able to deal with domestic animals – not wildlife.

cer Service, where it is recorded and depending on the wildlife issue, it will be responded to.

scended from immigrants or refugees, unless we’re First Nations.”

Jimenez said many SAH’s haven’t been involved in refugee settlement since the Vietnamese diaspora. But the ongoing situation in Europe and the Middle East will likely spark people’s desire to help.

And the Friends of Burma is there to assist. ”Anyone interested can go through their faith-based group,”

Jimenez said. “But we can help if they phone and say ‘how do we do this? We forget.’ All people have to do is come up with the funds, and can get the sponsorship process started.”

Volunteers with the SAH and the Friends of Burma will then be responsible for the whole settlement process, from picking them up at the airport to helping them integrate into the community.

“We really need more volunteers — especially young people,” Jimenez added.

“Canadians are compassionate — we did it before and we can do it again. There are 15 million people asking for our help. Let’s pick one and get started.”

Jimenez says the East Kootenay Friends of Burma needs help with refugees trying to learn English in Kimberley. If you can vol-

unteer to help read books/teach English with adults in Kimberley or help with homework of former refugee children, please call Shauna Jimenez at 250 4223259.

Local NEWS The Righton family tradition; 40 years as Nitro fans Josh Lockhart For the Bulletin

The first time that I went to a Kimberley Dynamiters game, I met some of the long-time season ticket holders.

Oblivious to the Civic Centre Arena customs, I was sitting in a reserved seat, marked so eloquently by an ‘R’ with a lit stick of dynamite in it.

They told me that they had been sitting in those same seats for over 30 years. I gladly changed spots not wanting to mess with tradition.

Afterward I learned that one of those longtime season ticket holders, after working with their spouse and son in different capacities, was David Righton. He has supported the Kimberley Dynamiters for well over 35 years.

David attended his first Dynamiter game with his dad, attending

only once, which was enough to motivate him to become a Dynamiters season ticket holder and create his own tradition.

Part of his tradition was taking his son, Jonathan, to Kimberley Dynamiter games. The first game that Jonathan went to was when he was seven years old, in 1991. This father-son duo attended many, if not all, the Dynamiters home games together.

During that time Jonathan began taking photographs at games. Some of his pictures have appeared on the front page of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin newspaper.

While many of his game day pictures are shared on the Dynamiters Facebook page for family, parents, and fans to see.

Unfortunately, David Righton passed away in the summer of 2014. For 23 years the two attend-

Hey, Pete, old mate: Will you please tell Marjorie (his wife for the nonce, I believe) that it was all a joke and that it was you who

registered me with Ashley Madison. I am not looking for a svelte blonde who is also married but keen on fooling around. I wouldn’t recognize a svelte blonde if I saw one and wouldn’t know what to do with one either. Joke’s over. Call Marjorie, please.

William (Bill) A. Bong Mr Warland: What was all that balderdash about a woman forgiving her husband for his sexual roving Peter and attempting to seduce all over again. I have Warland him never read such insanity and I am really astonished that your editor bothered to print it; she must be out of her mind.

Dorothy Reid (Mrs), Ta ta Creek.

Well! How do you do, Dorothy? I have the teeniest suspicion that you are barking up the wrong tree here. I would never have dared write such a thing except, maybe, in my Dear Ermentrude column in the Skookumchuck Herald.

Peter Warland (Mr) Cranbrook.

Peter: That nut-case woman you wrote about July 24 last, the one protecting herself with a bow and arrow, I think I know her and I think she was lying though her teeth with that yarn. If she could draw that bow still, she couldn’t hit a barn door at ten paces.

Daphne, Kimberley.

Hi, Daph: I guess she conned me with that one.

Slightly embarrassed Pete.

Hey, Pete: Thanks for your bit called Fill-

ing The Years. I thought you’d forgotten my questions about retirement. The fact is: I have found great comfort in my garden and spend hours there every day. It not only keeps me from the TV and being in my wife’s way but I feel so much healthier. I also get to meet all sorts of great people who stop to watch me gardening. I have no need to rush off volunteering and getting involved with organizations.

George K. (Felicity sends her love).

George: You are welcome.

Pete (Felicity’s love reciprocated) Mr Warland: This past year I have been following faithfully your rambling columns in The Bulletin and, it seems, all you write about is memory and memory loss.

Albert Hall, Wycliffe.

Albert: Do I? I forget.

Peter Warland.

Mr Warland: You have probably forgotten me but I was in your Anthropology class and really enjoyed it. I always reckoned that you were smart and well educated but, after reading your explanation about those people who we see standing behind politicians when they make their speeches, I think you are losing it. My husband, Walter makes those special bobblehead dolls that politicians employ to make them feel important.

Bobbleheads, although incredibly lifelike, cannot converse the way you portrayed them. You should be more careful and do your research, the way you encouraged us.

Disappointed Darlene, Wasa.

Urban society slides into helplessness

Of

all the immature, ignorant whining that came out of the recent power failure in the Lower Mainland, one example summed up the decline of our urban culture for me.

It wasn’t the people who flooded 9-1-1 with calls demanding to know when their power would be restored, or complaining about their freezers. It wasn’t those on Twitter insisting BC Hydro pay for food that went bad. It was another social media moment.

With part of his community without electricity for a third day, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart went to his Facebook page, which has a wide following. There he pleaded with residents to stop phoning city hall to demand that a local big-box supermarket provide milk and eggs.

Power had been restored at the store only a few hours before, in the dead of night, and it’s safe to assume that all stores were working flat out to restock perishables.

Where do people get the notion that city hall, or whatever all-powerful nanny state they imagine, controls grocery stores? How do they conclude that in the midst of the worst electrical grid failure on record, BC Hydro is going to address their personal situation above all others?

Vancouver broadcast media weren’t much better. Their big focus was that BC Hydro’s website crashed, so people couldn’t call it up on their smartphones and find out instantly when their power would be back on.

Some even questioned why wireless power meters didn’t help. Perhaps these were the same journalists who fed the tinfoil-hat superstition about their signals.

The facts should be known by now. After an exBC VIEWS tremely dry spring and sumTom mer, a high wind shattered Fletcher trees and took down more wires and poles than BC Hydro had ever coped with before. Further damage was done within areas that were already blacked out, leaving overtaxed technicians unable to accurately assess the full extent of it.

In Coquitlam and elsewhere, poles were down in areas too rain-saturated for heavy repair trucks to reach. Yes, there were some too-optimistic repair estimates given out, in response to the constant screeching for instant answers.

About 15 years ago I experienced my worst power outage in the Fraser Valley. In a semi-rural area with little backup grid capacity (since greatly improved), my family went three days without power. This was in winter, due to wind and freezing

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

rain followed by snow and cold.

Trickles of water kept pipes from freezing, and the gas stove provided a bit of heat. I heard no complaints about the crews struggling around the clock with the dangerous job of repair. Media coverage was mostly adult supervised.

Megastorm madness isn’t an isolated case. A couple of weeks before that, a temporary construction bump on the Lion’s Gate Bridge deck caused panic and rage.

Aggravated by a couple of accidents on the alternate route, and fed by hysterical media, drivers of West Van luxury cars were white-knuckled. Traffic choked the region that recently declined to pay a bit more for road improvements.

In both cases, people outside Lotus Land were muttering: Welcome to our world.

This is pertinent to the federal election.

Are you competent to save for your retirement with RRSPs and a tax-free savings account, or do you need the government to do it for you, by force?

Are you capable of managing your own child care, or should the nanny state create a hugely subsidized system, which has already failed in Quebec, from coast to coast?

Are you ready for the day when the machine stops?

Back to where it all began

Kootenay Ice host Lethbridge Hurricanes in pre-season opener at Memorial Arena as 15-year-old prospects make WHL debuts Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The last time the Kootenay Ice played a game in Cranbrook’s Memorial Arena, Eli Lieffers and Loeden Schaufler were far too young to know what a hockey puck was, let alone dream of skating in the Western Hockey League.

With the Ice set to host the Lethbridge Hurricanes in WHL pre-season action at Cranbrook’s Memorial Arena Tuesday night at 7 p.m., the two 15-yearold prospects will have exhilarating memories to add to the bank as they are expected to make their WHL debuts.

“I’m kind of nervous, but I’m really excited for it,” said Lieffers, a fourthround selection (78th overall) of the Ice at the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft. “I just want to get out there. I’m going to try to do what I can do and work hard.

“It really hasn’t sunk in yet…Just to get out there and have the experience is really good.”

While Lieffers and Schaufler won’t forget Tuesday night, fans of the Kootenay Ice will access their own memory banks and reminisce on the early beginnings of what has become one of the WHL’s most successful franchises since the late 1990s.

After relocating to the East Kootenay from Edmonton following the 1997-98 WHL season, the Ice called Cranbrook’s Memorial Arena home for two seasons

before moving into Western Financial Place to open the 2000-01 campaign.

“I’m pretty excited to see how nervous I get coming up on Tuesday,” said Schaufler, a thirdround selection (56th) of the ice at the 2015 Bantam Draft.

“I don’t even know what I’m going to think when we go out for warmup, even. I’m going to guess it’s going to be pretty loud. It’s a pretty big day.”

The last time the Ice played a game at the Memorial Arena it turned out to be a pretty big day as well.

The date was May 12, 2000. It was Game 5 of the WHL championship series.

The hosts knocked off the visiting Spokane Chiefs by a 2-1 final to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series, before putting the finishing touches on the franchise’s first WHL title the next day in Spokane.

Lieffers wasn’t even two months old at the time, while Schaufler hadn’t even been in the world for a month.

No title will be handed out Tuesday night, but perhaps the ground-

work will be laid for a future championship.

Head coach Luke Pierce is also set to make his WHL debut, officially opening a new era for the Kootenay Ice after the departure of longtime head coach Ryan McGill this off-season.

“I’m just looking forward to seeing a different jersey out there and having a real opponent so that we can start to assess some of these guys a little better,” Pierce said following a week of scrimmages and intrasquad games through camp. “I’m looking forward to being in that atmosphere, that environment. We toured it last week and there’s a lot of feel and history in there.”

A total of 35 players remain on the Ice roster heading into pre-season action, meaning there is still plenty of work to be done in the assessment department.

Though Lieffers and Schaufler represent the next generation of young talent, they won’t be in Ice threads as 15-year-olds this year.

The pre-season offers them opportunity to learn the expectations and level of play they will be expected to rise to when they are eligible for roster slots come the 2016-17 season.

“For them, I’m sure they’re going to be extremely nervous and that’s normal,” Pierce said. “We want to try and protect them as much as we can.”

The Kootenay Ice and Lethbridge Hurricanes open the 2015 WHL pre-season Tuesday night at Cranbrook’s Memorial Arena. originally from Dewinton, Alta., spent the 2014-15 campaign with the Notre Dame Bantam ‘AAA’ Hounds. He is slated to suit up on a defence pairing alongside a former Hound and veteran of three WHL seasons -- Tanner Faith.

“I think he’s going to learn as much from just being out there with Tanner as he will from playing against different opponents,” Pierce said.

“For him, it’s just feeling comfortable and seeing what the pace is like compared to camp, which it’ll be so much higher.”

Lieffers registers as a lanky 6-foot-2, 155-

Dynamiters trim roster following camp Taylor Rocc a

Training camp is in the books for the KIJHL’s defending champion Kimberley Dynamiters.

The Nitros opened camp Friday, Sept. 4 at the Kimberley Civic Centre, working through three days of practices, scrimmages and a variety of off-ice sessions.

Having invited 33 players to camp (six goaltenders, nine defencemen and 18 forwards), Dynamiters general manager Mike Reid trimmed the roster to 20 (three goaltenders,

six defencemen and 11 forwards) along with four affiliates (two goaltenders, one defenceman and one forward) on Sunday.

“The camp was very competitive,” Reid said Monday. “We were very happy with the tempo -it stayed high all weekend. Guys were finishing their checks, playing hard. We really liked what we saw in terms of the compete level.”

There remains to be decisions made in the goaltending department, with three goal-

tenders still in Kimberley in addition to two others listed as affiliates.

While Tyson Brouwer is a lock to retain the starting role, competition remains as 18-yearolds Cody Call of Williams Lake, B.C., and Jack Page of Calgary, Alta., found their way onto the active roster coming out of camp.

As for the skaters, a count of 17 bodies might seem low. That’s because it is.

“We knew with what we had out there, for sure, we’re going to get a

couple [Junior A] guys back or a couple [Junior A] players we’ve been recruiting will show up at some point,” Reid said. “They will be able to step right into our lineup, so we want to save spots for them.”

Forwards Keenan Haase, Sawyer Hunt, Coy Prevost and Braden Saretsky, and defenceman Jonas Gordon are in Junior ‘A’ camps and forward Jordan Roy remains with the WHL’s Tri-City Americans.

pound forward. He spent the 2014-15 season with the Saskatoon Bantam ‘AA’ Maniacs and is expected to have his fair share of veteran support Tuesday as well.

“He’s a pretty fearless kid and fearless player, so I think he’ll be fine,” Pierce said. “Again, it’s something they can take back when they go back to their club teams and hopefully try and play at that type of tempo over this next year of development.”

Development is the name of the game at this point for an Ice squad turning over a new page following the departure of Sam Reinhart and

Tim Bozon, along with the expected graduation of Rinat Valiev to the professional ranks.

The Ice cut down its roster to 35 players following camp, including three goaltenders, 15 defencemen and 17 forwards.

Heading into Tuesday, both Lieffers and Schaufler are keeping it simple in preparation for their WHL debuts.

That means sticking to the regular routine.

“You have a ritual that you do every day before a game,” Lieffers said. “If you feel like you get in a groove, that’s how you feel less nervous. That’s what helps

me.”

“You just do the same thing you do to prepare for any other game, any intrasquad game,” Schaufler said.

“Just do the same thing.”

Following Tuesday’s home exhibition date with the Hurricanes, the Ice head south of the border for the Tri-City Americans’ annual pre-season tournament in Kennewick, Wash.

The Ice play three games in Kennewick, including Thursday, Sept.

10 versus the Americans, Friday, Sept. 11 versus the Seattle Thunderbirds and Saturday, Sept. 12 against the Prince George Cougars.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Use your resourcefulness with a child or loved one who seems to be driving a hard bargain. Your sensitivity remains high, but remember not to push beyond your natural limits. Knowing your objective will help point the way. Tonight: Stay close to home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Consider the past few days before you start any project. You will want to accomplish a lot more quickly, though you could be more tired than you realize.

Stay close to home, if possible.

A situation might arise that could encourage you to rethink a friendship. Tonight: Make it easy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be overwhelmed by everything that is going on, yet you might need to handle a personal matter first. Don’t settle for anything less than what you feel is right. Listen to someone else’s tale of woe and recognize the tension it has created. Tonight: Let the party begin.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You see a personal matter differently from how many other people see it. The reason is that you understand people’s feelings better than others. Open up to a new possibility. Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with a confusing situation.

Tonight: Treat yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be honest when you are feeling out of sorts. Sometimes you would be best off retreating and not putting on your sunny face.

Everyone needs some time off -even you. Take a day just for you, and you will see the difference.

Tonight: Take a nap, then decide.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can’t continue to pressure yourself as you have. If you feel up to it, push yourself today, but plan on getting some downtime very soon. You seem to have been angry about a situation, and could lose your temper.

Have a discussion instead. Tonight: Make it an early night.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be more forthright in how you deal with another per-

Tundra

son. Your sense of humor emerges once more when dealing with an irritable yet funny friend. Accomplish what you must before you socialize. You will hear a lot of news. Tonight: Be prepared for a fun happening.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Continue to be uninvolved with a complex situation. You understand the dynamics involved better than the majority of people, but that does not mean you need to deal with this matter.

Open up to new possibilities and new ideas. Tonight: Catch up on emails and calls.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) An associate will sense your fatigue, even if you don’t. Understand your limits, and attempt to tune into your inner voice and energy. You need to take more time for yourself. Listen to this person’s news, but know that you don’t need to agree. Tonight: Let the party begin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are respected and known to give good advice. Listen to the nature of the questions you are being asked. You might notice

that something is afoot. Just observe and get more information.

Try not to let others know what you know! Tonight: Dinner for two.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be too tired to continue to push so hard. Be aware of what is going on around you.

Perhaps someone unintentionally is creating more work for you than you would like to handle. Have a conversation, if need be. Tonight: The later it gets, the more fun you have.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot to share, and share you will. However, your creativity and imagination could point you in a new direction. A child or loved one delights you with his or her responses. Make the most of your time together.

Tonight: The party goes on and on.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am the youngest of three girls and have always been the black sheep of the family. I have two sisters who don’t have kids, yet they constantly tell me I’m not a good mother or daughter.

I have always tried to be a good daughter, especially after Dad passed away. My sisters don’t do much for our mom. One lives out of state, so I guess she thinks she doesn’t have to do anything. The other sister calls Mom often, but doesn’t bother to stop by and see her.

Mom is on a limited income. We all work full time and have husbands, but I’m the only one who buys her groceries and takes her places. I recently told my mother how I was feeling about my sisters, and she told me they will never change. And why should they? Mom refuses to ask for any help from the other two. She never asks me to take her shopping, but I know she needs food in her house. I also enjoy spending time with my mom. She’s an awesome woman who worked hard and provided for her children.

I had once before disappeared from Mom’s life because I was tired of putting up with this nonsense. I didn’t speak to anyone for a year. But I realized my mother won’t be here forever, and we’ve been attached at the hip ever since. Now I’m tired of the nonsense again. What am I supposed to do?

My sisters are perfectly aware of Mom’s needs. I believe they are selfish. What’s it going to take for them to wake up? I can’t talk to either one of them because it just upsets me. But I can’t go back and keep taking care of Mom all by myself. It gets expensive to do this every week with no help whatsoever. -- The Black Sheep Dear Sheep: You sound like a caring daughter, but you cannot force your sisters to be the same. If you were an only child, would you continue helping Mom? It might be less frustrating for you to think of yourself that way. However, you may be able to get your sisters to contribute financially if it lets them off the hook otherwise. Calmly explain that Mom’s income limits what she can buy at the grocery, and though you are happy to take her shopping and supplement her supplies, it is becoming too difficult. Ask how much they can contribute for these expenses. We hope they come through.

Dear Annie: I felt the need to respond to the letter from “Gary,” wondering about appropriate dress for a funeral. I have attended more wakes and funerals than I can count, and I know what is considered “appropriate” attire.

My husband passed away suddenly six months ago. We are a quiet family and the attendance at his funeral was astounding and unexpected. We did not notice what color clothes people wore, their necklines, collars, hemlines, sneakers or boots. What I can say, unequivocally, is that I, along with our 14-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter couldn’t have cared less what anyone had on. It only mattered that they came. -- Heartbroken in Connecticut Dear Heartbroken: Thank you for making it clear what is important. Our condolences.

No injuries or spills after 2 trains derail near Golden C anadian Press

VANCOUVER - Two CP rail trains crashed near Golden, B.C., early Sunday morning sending several cars off of the tracks.

Transportation Safety Board spokesman Chris Krepski says an eastbound train hit another train around 2:25 a.m.

Several cars derailed, including the first two locomotives and the first car - an empty potash car - of the eastbound train.

The last car of the other train - a non-dangerous goods car - also jumped the tracks.

Krepski says all of the cars remained upright and there have been no reports of leaks.

He says no injuries have been reported either.

Grim ending on river averted thanks to B.C. police dog named Duke C anadian Press

HOPE, B.C. - Duke the police dog is being hailed as a hero by his handlers for tracking a missing man along a swollen and frigid river to a cave in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley.

RCMP say a 26-year-old man was reported missing around noon Wednesday while visiting the Othello Tunnels near the community of Hope.

The Mounties called out Duke, who led his handler from the nearby Abbotsford police department along a dangerous, mountainous, two-kilometre riverside track.

They say about an hour later, Duke found the man hiding in a cave in the Coquihalla River, and the water level was quickly rising because of heavy rainfall.

The man was taken into custody and police say he was returned safely to a hospital.

Had it not been for Duke, police say the situation could have had a grim ending.

Premier and B.C. First Nations aim to reach reconciliation deal Dirk Meissner Canadian Press

VICTORIA - At least 500 British Columbia aboriginal leaders are set to meet this week with Premier Christy Clark on how all sides can deal with the implications of a historic land rights ruling from Canada’s highest court.

The decision that granted aboriginal title to the Tsilhqot’in Nation in B.C.’s central Interior permeates all government and First Nations relations, including potentially lucrative and environmentally sensitive resource projects.

The June 2014 court ruling, which Tsilhqot’in Chief Roger William calls a legal weapon, is poised to dominate proceedings at the gathering, set for Wednesday and Thursday.

Clark said last year’s all-chiefs meeting, which marked the first time First Nations leaders met with a government and its cabinet, was a major step in the long road towards reconciliation rather than a retreat back to courtrooms.

However, First Nations leaders left disappointed, saying the province did not adopt their document, which

sought to establish government support for aboriginal rights and title to lands, including revenue sharing.

But a spokeswoman the First Nations Summit, B.C.’s largest aboriginal organization, said she expects the chiefs will now debate a proposed joint government-First Nations document with the aim to move towards reconciliation.

Cheryl Casimer, a former chief of the St. Mary’s Band (?aq’am) near Cranbrook, said the chiefs were not prepared to attend the gathering without such a potential deal.

“We said there’s no way the leadership council is going to be asking the (First Nations) leadership in this province to come back together in September for just a photo-op,” Casimer said. “We need to have something. There needs to be something substantial.”

Casimer called the package a “form of a commitment document working on a joint agenda, a joint action plan

Clark has said ignoring the Supreme Court of Canada decision would put B.C.’s future in peril. She said she wants to use the ruling to work together with

aboriginals.

The Tsilhqot’in were granted over 1,750 kilometres of land in the remote Nemiah Valley southwest of Williams Lake. It was the first time in Canadian history that a First Nation was given title to such a vast piece of land.

one six Tsilhqot’in Nation chiefs, said the ruling ensures First Nations are involved and can influence decisions being considered by government and business.

“They’ve had control of our resources, and with this court case that shifted that balance of power back to a more respectful place for First Nations people,” he said.

Alphonse said the Tsilhqot’in and B.C. government are close to signing a separate deal that sets the ground rules for governance decisions from parks, permits and investments in Tsilhqot’in territory.

The agreement was scheduled to be complete last spring, but “we’re coming close to where we want to be,” he said.

Casimer said the talks scheduled for this week include individual First Nations meeting with cabinet ministers and one-on-one meetings between the premier and chiefs.
