Jesse Cook on a sonic mission Renowned World Music guitarist in Cranbrook Wednesday BARRY COULTER

Three firefighters and one truck responded to a structure fire yesterday afternoon in Cranbrook. At approximately 4:30pm Sunday, Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services responded to a call to a fire at 400 Briar Avenue Northwest. The occupant returned home to find smoke coming from the house and called 911. No one was injured during the response and the fire was knocked down quickly. The investigation into the cause was being conducted Monday.
Jesse Cook is bringing his world sound to Cranbrook tomorrow night. The Canadian guitarist, composer, and producer is widely considered one of the most influential figures in nuevo flamenco music, though as he himself says, there’s a lot more to his music than that. Cook, born and raised in Paris and Barcelona, got a first hand look at the renaissance of flamenco, led by the Gypsy Kings, but his hybrid style is more of a global sound. World music is an apt term — a category encompassing many different styles from around the world: traditional music, neotraditional, and music where more than one cultural tradition intermingle. Cook spoke to the

Debate season heats up hum drum campaign T R E VO R C R AW L E Y
Though the election writ was dropped back in early August, it hasn’t really felt like election season has hit. Until now. Fresh off a debate by a trio of federal party leaders last week in Calgary, local candidates vying for the seat in the riding of Kootenay Columbia are set to being their debate circuits.

merce, and Cranbrook and Kimberley are no different. While it may have been a controversial subject earlier in the summer, debates have been scheduled in area, and all candidates have confirmed their attendance at some of them. The Chamber debate in Cranbrook—the first forum
that was officially scheduled for Oct. 7—will focus on the economy and address issues that affect business locally, provincially and nationally, according to David D. Hull, the executive director of the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce. Breaking down the subjects, the discussion will
focus on access to a powerful workforce, capital, technology and innovation and markets. Roughly 20 questions will be submitted in advance to each candidate to allow for time to research any background and consult with party platforms. There will also be a chance for the audience to
submit written questions which will be presented to the candidates over the course of the forum. The event will start with opening remarks chosen randomly from all four candidates and will end with closing statements in reverse order from how it started.

which—as an event organizer—is always nice to see,” said Charlie Cooper, with RM Events. “I think we had about 175 adults and teenagers participating. “On Saturday, with the youth Stix, we had about 95, which is a good jump from the previous year.” A fast-growing staple of outdoor adventure in Cranbrook, 6 in the Stix features a 13-kilometre single-track loop over various types of terrain in the Community Forest with the finish line at the top of the College of the Rockies parking lot. “We used the same course as last year, so it’s 13 kilometres through the Community Forest, trying to pick and choose our trails carefully so its inviting for new cyclists to try a new event,” Cooper said. The kids get their turn on Saturday with a smaller course for those who are just starting to get going on their bikes. “Saturday we have the kids, they do a 1.4 kilometre loop into the community forest right behind the college,” Cooper said. “The idea is to keep it very similar to the adult race, but the loop is shorter and they also have 30 minutes to complete as many loops or 60 minutes for who-
ever chooses to go a bit longer and pedal for a bit for a time. It just kind of opens it up to try and get as many young kids as possible. “We had a third race, which is 15 minutes on pavement and that’s just a hoot because you got the two-year-olds on stride bikes all the way up to five or six year olds who are enjoying some good biking.” Competing in over 100-plus categories including solo, team solo, relay and more, athletes came in mostly from Alberta and the West Kootenays, in addition to a large contingent of local competitors. As always, no event gets off the ground without support from volunteers. “This year we had exceptional support from volunteers,” Cooper said. “We had people come out from different places—coming out with competitors, so family and friends. Lots of local people, we had people all over Kimberley, Cranbrook and Wasa. “As an event organizer, that is so nice to have.” For more information on the event, including results, head online to www.rmevents.com.

The tribute motorcycle ride for Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette and her dad Terry Blanchette was a success. Hundreds of bikers gathered in Longview Alberta on the morning September 19, 2015, at 11 a.m., arriving in Blairmore Alberta at 12:30 p.m. According to Pure Country Bar facebook page, the ride raised $ 9,174.64. The funds are going towards a bench and equipment for the local playground where Hailey loved to play.

15-hour standoff ends peacefully C HRIS NE WEL Kimberley RCMP
Police took a subject into custody after a fifteen-hour standoff in Kimberley, Saturday night. The incident began on Saturday night at 6:00 pm when neighbors reported a distraught male yielding two large axes and acting in an aggressive manner. Safety concerns prompted the call to police. The subject also had two knives on his belt. Upon police arrival the subject barricaded himself in his res-
idence. Police initiated contact with the subject through an open window. When the man would not safely exit the house the Emergency Response Team (ERT) was brought in. Two police negotiators talked to the man all night, over 14 hours. In the early morning hours the subject got onto the roof of the building and began ripping parts of the roof off and throwing them at police. At approximately 9 a.m. the
subject jumped from the roof and was successfully taken into custody. No injuries were sustained. He was transported to East Kootenay Regional Hospital for evaluation. “The ultimate goal is to ensure public safety and minimize risk to the community including the subject. Police were able to achieve this though careful planning, continued evaluation and patience”, said Cpl Chris Newel, Kimberley RCMP Detachment Commander.
An interesting element to the event includes the use of rebuttal cards. Each candidate will be issued five 30-second rebuttal cards to use as they see fit. Kimberley’s Chamber-sponsored debate will be hosted by Centre 64 on Sept. 30. However, the first debate is the First Nations forum on Wednesday, Sept. 23, at the Ktunaxa Nation gymnasium. Four of the five candidates have confirmed attendence (Wilks, Stetski, Green, Johnston). Moderated by Joe Pierre, the candidates will discuss and debate First Nations issues.

Cook bringing World Sound to Cranbrook Continued from page 1
“Some people refer to what I’m doing as Nuevo Flamenco, there are certainly elements of Nuevo Flamenco — myself, I don’t know what to call what I’m doing, there are so many different elements of world music, and I keep trying to change the rules. As soon as I figure something out I want to move on to something else. So I’ll leave it to someone else to figure out what to call it.” When Cook released his first album (“Tempest,” 1995), the genre know as World Music was still under exploration. Cook himself is considered one of its pioneers. “When I released my record, I’d been into rumba flamenco since I was a kid — I was also influenced by Peter Gabriel, so the world music thing was very important to me, bringing different types of music into what I was doing. “In the beginning it was pretty exciting. There just wasn’t anyone else doing that. I wandered into this great be empty field and thought, ‘Wow, this is perfect. I can go any-
where, it’s all new terrain to be explored. “And then a few years later I turned around and realized I’m no longer alone in this field. People are in there, making roads, putting up lights. Now there’s all sorts of people doing things that are in this area. It was pretty exciting to be among the first. I felt like an explorer for a while there.” Terms like “global” and “world” apply not just to Cook’s sound, but from his travelling recording and performing career. “On the record ‘Nomad’ I went to Cairo and recorded with musicians there,” he said. “On ‘Rumba Foundation’ I went to Colombia and recorded with musicians from that part of the world, and also some Cuban musicians — every record I want to go somewhere different. “On the ‘Blue Guitar Sessions,’ I took what I was doing into sort of a ‘Blue’ space, not Blues, but blues in the sense of melancholy, get a bit of that Miles Davis feel, or Lhasa de Sela. An album where every track is unapologetically sad.
Jesse Cook, in concert at the Key City Theatre, Wednesday, Sept. 23, 7:30 p.m. On the new record I took it into a new direction. It’s still world music, but I was experimenting with loops and loop technology.” Nine albums later, Cook is staying true to his sonic mission. “I’m trying to create a sound — it’s that idea that if you pull your
focus back far enough, all the different types of music that are out there in the world, you start to realize they have shared roots. “We’re always so focussed on the things that separate us as cultures, but in fact there are similarities, and you realize music is the uni-
versal language. You put music of different cultures, or even music of different time periods all in the same place in one piece of music, and they mix harmoniously together. For example: “On ‘One World’ we have an Armenian duduk — it’s one of the
oldest instruments there is, and it’s mixing with electronica and things, and it sounds great. The sonic sensibilities of people 3,000 years ago invented this instrument work fine with the sonic sensibilities of people in the 21st century.” Jesse Cook and his
four-piece band will be touring right through to the end of the year, starting again in the spring. “So after a long summer off we’ll be hitting it hard for the next eight months. When you’re a musician that’s what you want to do. It’s nice to have a period off, so when you come back to it, you can say ‘yes, this is really a fun way to make a living.’” Cook is travelling with a five-piece band, which includes multi-instrumentalist Chris Church on violin, the afore-mentioned Armenian duduk, accordion and other instruments; Nicholas Hernandez (“a wonderful flamenco guitarist, and recording artist in his own right”); Dennis Mohammed (on electric and upright bass — “he’s street cred for the band. He makes us sound a little bit more edgy”); and Alberto Suarez (Cuban percussionist and drummer, on his first tour with Cook’s band) Jesse Cook and his band take the stage at the Key City Theatre Wednesday, Sept. 23. Showtime is at 7:30 p.m.

Kootenay-Columbia Candidates On The Spot
Black Press newspapess across Kootenay-Columbia have compiled a list of questions — 12 in total — for all five candidates for a six-week Q&A feature. This is Part III — questions 5 and 6. Question 5: What, if any, changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker program will you advocate for in order to help support tourism in the region? Or what is alternative solution to businesses in our region that cannot find the staff they need to operate at full capacity? Question 6: Given the Kootenay-Columbia is a lake and river-filled region with extreme weather events, how will you be an environmental steward and address the uncertainties of climate change?
Bill Green Green
Question 5 The Temporary Foreign Worker Program was established to address short-term problems, but there is no quick fix to most of our labour shortages. The Green Party’s labour market strategy focuses on long-term solutions: • education and skills training. • a Guaranteed Livable Income to provide everyone with an income above the poverty line. • bringing in foreign workers as future Canadians – not as temporary, vulnerable employees. We will remove financial barriers to education, apprenticeships and skills training by eliminating tuition fees and capping student debt. A guaranteed income will allow people to live and work in their home communities, even on minimum-wage jobs, which will ease staff shortages in tourism and service sectors. Finally, Canada needs immigrants and their families who become permanent, valued contributors to Canadian society. The immigration process must be tailored to meet our labour needs. Question 6 The best way to address the uncertainties of climate change is to avoid causing more climate change. Canadian governments have so far failed to meet this challenge. The Green Party’s bold climate action plan starts with goals informed by science. To
avoid catastrophic climate change, we must begin to reduce greenhouse gas emissions dramatically, starting now. Our plan to achieve this is built around carbon pricing – a predictable carbon price levied on industry at the point of extraction. All carbon fee revenue will be re-distributed as a dividend, rewarding those who strive toward a low-carbon footprint. Leading international energy companies are urging governments to establish carbon pricing systems. The Globe and Mail ranked the Green plan as the most economically efficient. We are experiencing the effects of climate change even now and more severe effects are unavoidable. We must be prepared. The Green Party will invest $6.4 billion per year in green municipal infrastructure to support community resilience in the face of extreme weather events.
Don JOhnston Liberal
Question 5 Staffing seasonal industries and ensuring younger workers secure dependable employment are both nationwide concerns. We need to address both. Conservative mismanagement led to TFWP entrants increasing from 141,000 in 2005 to 338,000 in 2012 and abuses of this program drives down wages and displaces Canadian workers. Liberals believe those who want to work in Canada should have a pathway to citizen-
ship. We will return the TFWP to its original purpose: filling jobs when qualified Canadians cannot be found and then complement it with employment programs. We will increase the Labour Market Development Agreement by $500 million annually to support regional job retention, waive Employers EI premiums when they hire 18-24 year olds, support college co-op jobs, expand Pre-Apprenticeship Training, and create a 3 year $300 million Youth Employment Strategy aimed at creating 40,000 jobs each year. Combining TFWP benefits with other employment strategies has longer term value. Question 6 Canadians want immediate leadership on the environment and that’s our promise. Our commitment to bring all Premiers to the 2015 Paris Environmental Conference and investing $6 billion more in green infrastructure in our first four years is step one. If you’re asking what I can do locally to mitigate problems it could range from water level negotiations for the Columbia Basin Treaty, reinstating the Federal Kootenay Lake Fishery office, or supporting wildfire programs. Climate change itself requires comprehensive environment policies and are one of the strongest reasons to choose a Liberal candidate. Our RealChange. ca website details plans to invest in green infrastructure projects like local water and wastewater facilities, climate resilient infrastructure, and energy efficient buildings. Liberals will provide support for community-scale renewable energy projects, and work with the provinces to develop a Canadian Energy Strategy that brings cleaner, renewable energy – like solar and wind – onto the electricity grid.
ronmental legislation. As Minister of Environment in Quebec, he brought in the most progressive environmental legislation anywhere in North America. That’s the kind of environmental record I am happy to support.
Wayne Stetski NDP
Question 5 In typical Harper fashion, the Conservative ‘fix’ to the problem with the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program did little to address the real issue. While we experienced serious issues with abuses of some foreign workers right here in the Kootenays, overall, the ‘solution’ to the problem has made it very difficult for businesses in the area to get the workers they need, and didn’t actually protect the foreign workers that are here. I have spoken with numerous small business owners who are now struggling to get enough workers to keep their businesses open. We clearly need a new approach that meets the needs of both those seeking employment in Canada and the businesses that want to hire them. Question 6 As the former Regional Manager for the Kootenays responsible for Fish and Wildlife, Ecosystems and BC Parks, I know the importance of healthy lakes and rivers to our environment, and our quality of life. The Harper Conservatives have gutted environmental legislation, 50 years in the making, and that is why internationally recognized environmental scientists like Dr. David Schindler are speaking out, asking voters to vote together to protect the environment. Tom Mulcair is a recognized leader in the development of envi-
David Wilks Conservative
Question 5 New measures under the low skilled worker program were implemented in 2014 after abuses to the system were identified. These new rules are meant to ensure that Canadians have jobs first. These changes did however have a significant effect on communities in Kootenay-Columbia who are tourism based and cannot find enough local workers to fill the jobs. I will continue to meet with the Minister to express the concerns of local businesses and work toward a solution. Question 6 Our government will continue to work with other countries from around the world to establish a fair and effective international climate agreement that includes meaningful and transparent commitments from all major
emitters. Within Canada we have implemented a sector by sector approach and to date have regulated the transportation and electricity sectors. We have taken action to limit the growth of emissions on hydrofluorocarbons (HFC”s). We have implemented strict new rules on emissions for coal fired electricity plants and are the first country in the world to ban construction of traditional coal plants. I will work with local and regional partners such as the Columbia Basin Trust and support their Environment Strategic Plan which includes 5 goals, Water, Ecosystems, Reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Environmental Education and Stewardship and Environmental capacity building to strengthen communities.
Christina Yahn Libertarian
Question 5 I would like to see a streamlined process so that foreign workers are able to take part in programs such a the foreign worker program. Its a common issue for employers to access reliable workers and I think we should be doing whatever we can to aid in allowing the process of applicants to be as simple as possible.
Question 6 With climate change humans need to develop the ability to adapt in a way that works with natures shifting and evolving cycles as apposed to fighting agaisnt it. There are many things we can do on an international and national level to reduce pollution through green incentives and holding polluters accountable by removing policy that protects them and sending them through the jucicial system. However on a local level I would implement permaculture and agriforestry practices to harmonize with changes to climate and ecology. Planting along the lakes and rivers to reduce erosion, planting diversity in the forests to reduce the monoculture of pine trees to reduce issues like pine beetle damage...when you have a variety of flora and fauna pests are far less of an issue. Working with partnerships with biologists, entomologists,and other specialists to develop plans and programs to create sustainable systems in our ecosystem. Food security will become a pressing issue with climate changes and we seriously need to work hard to create a local food system. I see this through supporting our Farmers, making land available to our young farmers who are the next generation of food security. The average age of our farmers is 65 years old and we have a surge of youth who are interested but do not have the land. I would work to build green houses, community gardens, green spaces and food forests with communities.

Do balanced budgets really matter? The federal election campaign has produced a jumble of conflicting claims about whether or not Canada has a balanced budget or a deficit, how it was determined, and whether it even matters. The definitive word on this came out last week, with the release of the Government of Canada Annual Financial Report, signed off by Auditor General Michael Ferguson. “The government posted a budgetary surplus of $1.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, compared to a budgetary deficit of $5.2 billion in 2013-14,” the report says. “Revenues increased by $10.7 billion, or 3.9 per cent, from 2013-14, reflecting increases across all major revenue streams. Program expenses increased by $5.2 billion, reflecting increases in major transfers to persons and other levels of government, offset in part by a decrease in direct program expenses.” The Conservative government’s pre-election budget calculated that last year was in deficit, and this year would be the first in the black since 2008. Ottawa pundits say this “surprise surplus” was engineered with intentionally pessimistic budget estimates, so Prime Minister Stephen Harper would get a boost right about now. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau claimed last year’s surplus was partly generated by
cuts to Veterans’ Affairs and Aboriginal Affairs. Wrong and wrong. Veterans’ Affairs spending was up 13 per cent, and Aboriginal Affairs spending rose nearly 30 per cent. Trudeau has also insisted Canada is in recession now, which helps his suddenly adopted position that a Liberal government would run deficits for the next three years to build infrastructure. Harper ran the biggest BC VIEWS deficits in Canadian history after the 2009 crash, bailing Tom out auto makers and buildFletcher ing lots of “shovel ready” infrastructure, as did the U.S. and other countries. The question raised by Trudeau’s plan is whether it’s a good idea to keep doing that without a financial crisis. France, for example, has run operating deficits every year since the early 1970s, although the current Socialist government vows to balance the books by 2017. France’s operating debt is now equal to 91 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product. Canada’s net debt-to-GDP ratio is currently around 30 per cent, down from frightening levels in the 1990s before the Chrétien government finally balanced the budget. (Fun fact: then-finance minister Paul Martin not only cut transfers to provinces, unlike the current government, he inflicted the largest-ever cuts to the CBC. Harp-
er’s CBC cuts were part of government-wide reductions, again due to that 2009 crisis.) NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has promised to balance the budget every year of his mandate, should he form Canada’s first-ever socialist government. He will spend the rest of the campaign trying to reconcile this promise with the grandiose spending plans he has piled up. Meanwhile in B.C., Finance Minister Mike de Jong may have benefited from Harper’s lowball budget. In his first quarter update last week, de Jong reported that his February budget forecast is on track, with a $277 million surplus. This is despite a $300 million bill for forest firefighting, thanks to personal and corporate income tax revenue expected to be $374 million higher than budgeted. B.C. bases its tax revenue figures on federal estimates, and the ones they got early this year were clearly low. Understated or not, this is a nice problem to have. De Jong says that at the current pace, B.C. will pay off its accumulated operating debt by 2020. The last time the province was free of operating debt was 1982. The big debt peak came during the NDP 1990s, with another spike from 2009 to 2013 under the B.C. Liberals. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Dynamiters earn three of six points on road, lose Pagura indefinitely Taylor Rocc a
A B.C. Interior road trip proved a tougher challenge for the Kimberley Dynamiters following a pair of divisional victories to open the 2015-16 KIJHL season. With three games in three nights scattered through the Doug Birks Division, the Nitros came home with three of a possible six points, falling to the 100 Mile House Wranglers in regulation and the Kamloops Storm in double overtime, before ending the weekend on a high note with an 8-0 victory over the Sicamous Eagles. Friday in 100 Mile House, the two squads battled through 40 minutes of scoreless hockey before the Wranglers tallied twice in the third to claim a 2-0 victory. “It was an eye-opener for some of our newer players that we’re playing for keeps,” said Mike Reid, Dynamiters general manager and assistant coach. “100 Mile is a tough team to play. They don’t have a lot of structure. Their game plan is basically to finish every check and try to
create a couple turnovers, which they did.” While the regulation loss stung, the bigger loss came in the form of defenceman Tristan Pagura. Late in Friday’s contest on an inconsequential play, the Kimberley native re-injured his surgically repaired shoulder and is out indefinitely. Pagura, 18, skated in two contests last season, before undergoing shoulder surgery in December. “It might have been one of the hardest nights I’ve had [in hockey],” Reid said. “It wasn’t about hockey at that point. It was about him. “It broke my heart.” While Pagura’s career potentially came to a devastating end Friday, the career of a new Nitro got off to a roaring start. Backup goaltender Mitch Traichevich made his Dynamiters debut, turning aside 28 of 30 shots sent his way in what Reid characterized as an “outstanding” performance. Saturday, the Dynamiters returned to Kamloops for the first time

The Dynamiters power play clicked at 50 per cent (2-for-4) and captain Jason Richter added a short-handed tally to lead Kimberley to a resounding win over the Eagles.

Wild assign Faith to Kootenay Ice Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Defenceman Tanner Faith is headed back to the Kootenay Ice. Faith, a fifth-round pick (139th overall) of the Minnesota Wild at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, was assigned to major junior as the club reduced its training camp roster on Monday. A native of Wilcox, Sask., Faith has battled shoulder injuries throughout his WHL career, limiting him to only 29 games over the past two seasons with the Kootenay Ice. Faith represents one
of seven overagers remaining with the Ice heading into the team’s regular season opener Friday night against the Calgary Hitmen. It is expected the team will stretch out the bulk of decision making regarding its overage players until closer to the Oct. 16 deadline. Teams are permitted to carry more than three overagers up until Oct. 16, but only three overage players are permitted to play on any given night. Tough competition remains for the three overage slots with goaltender Wyatt Hoflin, de-
fencemen Tyler King and Tanner Lishchynsky, centre Luke Philp, and right wingers Jaedon Descheneau and Jon Martin all still in the mix. Philp remains with the Philadelphia Flyers on a tryout, while Descheneau, a fifth-round selection (124th overall) of the St. Louis Blues, remains with his NHL club. King, who underwent off-season knee surgery, is out indefinitely. The Ice open the 2015-16 WHL regular season Friday (7 p.m.) at Western Financial Place when the Calgary Hitmen visit Cranbrook.
Nitros acquire defenceman from Grizzlies Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Kimberley Dynamiters have acquired defenceman Zach Morey (1997) from the Revelstoke Grizzlies. Dynamiters general manager Mike Reid released details of the transaction Monday. The acquisition of Morey completes a deal between the Dynamiters and Grizzlies from June 10, 2015, in which Kimberley traded goaltender Brody Nelson (1995) to Revelstoke in exchange for future considerations.
“We are looking for him to step in and play some major minutes for us,” Reid said of Morey. “We expect him to be in the top-four for us. “We’re pretty happy with what we’ve got [on the blue-line]. We basically just roll our six defencemen.” There’s plenty of room for Morey to step into a big role after the Dynamiters lost defenceman Tristan Pagura to a shoulder injury Friday night in 100 Mile House. Morey, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound native of Calgary, Alta., spent the

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone you look up to could be unusually touchy, which might result in a misunderstanding. Your actions and choices are likely to shock others. Everyone will regroup and make better decisions by tomorrow. Tonight: A must appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance whom you care about tremendously. You might wonder why you put up with as much as you do from a friend you see almost every day. You’ll gain an insight that might be profoundly upsetting. Tonight: Listen to great music. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Deal with people on a oneon-one level in order to keep the ties between you tight. You are more likely to hear the truth when you maintain your friendships. A friend or a meeting could take an unanticipated twist. Tonight: Roll with the ups and downs of the moment.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others seek you out, which could displease a boss or associate. This person would like you to pitch in on a project. Confusion surrounds the unexpected. As a result, you’ll gain a better understanding of someone you need to work with more often. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Pace yourself. You have only so much time to do what you want. Sort through mixed messages or conflicting information. Recognize that you might not have the complete story just yet. Detach, and you could be surprised by what comes up. Tonight: Off to the gym. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Focusing on work might be close to impossible, as your imagination seems to drift toward your relationship with an important person in your life. You don’t often tap into your creativity, but it is a great source of ideas. Tonight: Allow your inner child to escape. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Tension revolves around your
Tundra
domestic and personal lives. Nevertheless, you’ll put up a good front. When close friends or loved ones find out what has happened, their reactions will echo your own. Recognize what you can change and what you can’t. Tonight: Put up your feet. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Make calls, return messages and check your email before you make any plans; otherwise, you might experience an upset during your day. A problem also could develop from unanswered questions. You can’t afford to ignore anyone at this time. Tonight: Discussions evolve. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Avoid a clash over funds, especially if you feel as though someone is pushing too hard for you to go along with his or her terms. Solutions will pop up out of the blue, though you might wonder if you even want to be involved at this point. Take your time. Tonight: Let friends in. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Just because you feel invincible doesn’t mean someone else won’t challenge you. This
person could push very hard to get what he or she wants. Let this individual’s drive roll right off you. A family member or a situation at home might arise. Tonight: Enjoy the unexpected. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll have a lot on your mind that you might choose not to share with others. As a result, you could keep it to yourself. As you ponder different situations, you’ll see a potential misunderstanding. Know that the unexpected could occur at any time. Tonight: Out late. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Where your friends are is where you’ll want to be. When in a meeting, even if it is regarding a business matter, you could turn the event into a party. Don’t sit on a misunderstanding too long. A disagreement might become even worse if you don’t handle it soon. Tonight: Your treat.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My 31-year-old daughter, her boyfriend and my 13-year-old granddaughter have lived with my husband and me for the past 10 years. I never thought they would stay this long. My daughter, “Tina,” asked whether her boyfriend could live with us for two weeks until his car was fixed after a hit-and-run accident. We said OK. Big mistake. When the car was repaired, we heard all kinds of excuses why he couldn’t leave. We didn’t make a big effort to push him out because he was polite and he loved Tina and her child (by someone else who was not in the child’s life). He became a surrogate father. Everything worked well until Tina started to pick on me and point out my faults. Slowly our relationship began to erode. Tina doesn’t have a job, so she stays at home to care for her child. I have leukemia and cannot work. So we are both at home all day. I think Tina is jealous of my relationship with my granddaughter, so she put some distance between us. No matter my efforts, things just get worse. They have succeeded in turning my granddaughter against me. Now my patience is gone, and I feel like a stranger in my home. My husband tells me to give her time and she’ll come around. This doesn’t seem likely. I’m hurt and depressed. The boyfriend doesn’t make enough money to support them in a place of their own, and Tina refuses to look for a job. They have no responsibility here, so why would they leave? I’m seeing a therapist, but it seems like a bandage for my problem at my home. Do you have any suggestions? -- Can’t See the Forest for the Trees Dear Forest: We are reluctant to interfere when you are already receiving therapy. We can tell you, however, that it is often difficult to have grown children living with you when there are no clear-cut boundaries and rules in place. It fosters resentment and misunderstandings. Please discuss with your therapist whether a heart-to-heart with your daughter and her boyfriend would be beneficial, or whether your daughter might attend a session with you. Dear Annie: I totally disagree with your advice to “Big Sister,” whose younger sister hijacked her plans for a family reunion. Why does the person who is wronged have to be nice to an inconsiderate relative? I have done this all my life to keep the peace in the family. The first time I defended myself, they got angry and stopped talking to me. Well, too bad for them. Life is too short not to be happy. If I am always giving in to them, then I don’t feel good about myself. At age 54, I can live without them. -- Happier Without Them in My Life Dear Happier: Our advice is geared to help those who wish to maintain a relationship with their family members. Those who prefer not to don’t need our suggestions on how to cut people out of their lives. They already know how, as you did.

Coming Events
Johnson, Katherine passed away peacefully at the Comox Valley Seniors Village on September 15, 2015. She was predeceased by Husband Arthur Johnson in 2003, and by parents Jacob and Sara (nee Enns) Martens. Her siblings; Sister Erna (George deceased) Thiessen, Brothers Henry (deceased) and wife Anne still alive, Jake (Sarah) and John (Susan), Brother-in-law Roy Johnson (Minnie) and one Daughter Verna (Wayne) Llemky. The light of her life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; grandson, Brad McEwen whom she looked after every summer during his growing up years. Several other special grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews who we were very close to in our younger years. Kay was born in Graysville, Manitoba. The family resided there until she was about 15 when they moved to the beautiful Fraser Valley. The family struggled and worked very hard in the depression and they all became quite successful because they are all hard working, caring and generous folks. Mom graduated from MEI in Abbotsford. She then took her nursing degree at Royal Columbian Hospital and graduated in 1951. She took on her first job in Cranbrook and met and married Art there. Mom worked in many towns in British Columbia, mostly in the OR and ER until she retired at 65. She took a brief hiatus from nursing to own a florist shop in Revelstoke where there was only shift work in the hospital and she could not adjust to that so dad bought her a business. She kept a very strong connection with her nursing classmates for most of her life. Mom spent her whole life helping others. After she retired, she immediately started volunteering for Hospice on the North Shore of Shuswap Lake where there were no doctors. In 1996, mom and dad moved to Comox to be closer to us. As soon as she got here, she volunteered at the Filberg Lodge. Mom also looked after my dad for 10 years of ill health and when he passed away in 2003, she moved to live next to St. Josephs General Hospital. She fed the residents every day at lunch and dinner for several years. She was enjoying life to the fullest with walking, knitting, taking in plays with friends and helping in the hospital. So sadly, that fun time of her life was very short. She was run over by a car when she was in a crosswalk and was never able to live independently again. After long months of rehab, mom lived in Berwick for several years. When she was needing more help, she moved over to the Comox Valley Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Village. In both residences, the staff and other residents became like a family to mom and to her daughter as well. Kayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the residents and staff in both buildings she lived for their caring and sharing. Mom had her own family â&#x20AC;&#x153;care giverâ&#x20AC;? at CVSV that was the epitome of perfection at her profession. Mom fought through many serious illnesses and accidents in her life and never complained but she finally just got tired of being so tough. Two very special ladies helped her through this phase, taking her for drives and walks and ice cream. They gave mom many wonderful hours of enjoyment. She was very fortunate to have Eda and Anne as friends. Kay did not like to be in the limelight or have any fanfare for her. Therefore, the family will respect her wishes that there be no service. She will be cremated and her ashes will join her husband and other family members. Donations to the charity of your choice in her name would be greatly appreciated.
