Cranbrook RCMP arrest man wanted by FBI ARNE PETRYSHEN

On Sunday, Cranbrook RCMP arrested a man that was wanted in the U.S by the FBI. Staff Sgt. Hector Lee said an off-duty officer spotted the wanted man near the 2100 block of Cranbrook Street North on Sunday afternoon. The off-duty officer then put in a call to the detachment while he kept his eye on the subject, until police arrived and he was taken into custody without incident. Lee said the man had fled from police a number of times in the past week and a half, so they have been actively looking for him. “He just had immigration warrants put out for being in the country illegally, and he was facing assault charges from a recent incident here,” Lee said. “We’re just liaising with the Canada Border Services Agency

and Immigration to have this fellow on a one-way trip back to the U.S.” The arrest was carried out at 3:15 p.m. on Sunday. Staff Sgt. Lee also provided information on calls to service over the week. From Monday, Nov. 16 at 6 a.m. to Monday, Nov. 23 at 6 a.m. there were 109 calls for service. Cranbrook RCMP handed out four Immediate Roadside Prohibitions. Officers responded to six mental health calls, four of which resulted in apprehension and the subject was brought to the hospital for further assessment. There were seven motor vehicle accidents, and one hit and run. “Which is higher than usual,” Lee said, adding he attributes some of that to the weather last week.

Child care in the East Kootenays is lacking according to a delegation that spoke to Cranbrook council last week. Katherine Bonnell and Mary Noble, from the East Kootenay Child Care Needs Assessment Advisory Committee were in council on Monday to talk about the child care needs in the area. They noted that early learning and child care programs in the East Kootenay region are in desperate need of qualified

early childhood educators and early childhood educator assistants. Bonnell said that there are 18 early childhood educator positions currently vacant in the region, according to the East Kootenay child care resource and referral program, and many of the positions have been available for over a year. Bonnell also noted that the region has the highest number of vacant early childhood positions in the BC Interior. The East Kootenay Child Care Needs Assessment Task Force was formed in 2013, by representatives from East Koo-

tenay Children First, East Kootenay Success By 6, East Kootenay Child Care Resource and Referral and East Kootenay community members who recognized there were unmet child care needs in communities throughout the East Kootenay region. The task force then commissioned a needs assessment project, the results of which reflect the contributions of 12 communities in the Columbia Basin. Bonnell said the results are not positive.

Residents are reminded that those interested in getting to work on fire-smarting their properties and neighbourhoods are invited to a Kimberley Fire Department Open House this Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Fire Hall. (Please use the rear entrance on the Mark Creek parking See CHILD CARE, page 4 lot side).

The purpose of the meeting is to pass on information on how to fire smart your property to make it safer from forest fires, and also to find people who may be willing to head up committees to work on entire neighbourhoods. These so-called community champions would help organize FireSmart work in neighbourhoods. See MEETING, p. 4

Summary of Trail Work for 2015

This past snow-free season has seen another set of trail work projects taken. A committee that formed and met in the Spring set out the priority areas and types of work to be done. Most of the items from that list have been finished. The season started with four plus sessions of raking and pruning of trails. Well over 70 per cent of single-track in the Park and Horse Barn Valley was worked on. Another important job was restoration work on closed sections of trail and the placing of barriers to keep people off closed sections. Old trails or short-cuts near Ponderosa, Rock Slide, Cabin and Eimer’s Ridge had barriers of some kind placed. Most efforts were successful, while in some cases people are moving the debris and continuing to use old sections, despite signs explaining the closure. In terms of relatively minor tasks, a couple of the steep sections on Ponderosa saw some work done to better control water flow and to create a more sustainable line around a tree with roots on the

trail. Burnt Trail saw an extensive make-over which widened and rebenched much of the trail, cleared many low hanging trees and put in a 2.5m bridge over a muddy seep. (Another span of wood still has to be added downhill.) A turn along Sidecut Trail that was partially damaged during the Enduro race was repaired. ($500 was donated to the KNPS by the event.) A bigger project was a re-routing of the top of Edge Trail, where it finishes up the ridge before entering into Forest Crowne. Over three evening sessions, volunteers worked in very dry/dusty conditions to put in a gentler, less prone-to-erosion section of about 75m. The hot, dry summer made for poor trail work conditions and this section will not be opened for use until next Spring so that moisture can help compact and bind the trail. The largest proposed project for the season did not go ahead. The KNPS, City and Kimberley Trail Society had hoped to put in a trail along the edge of the Trickle Creek Golf Course in the area of the 7th hole, connecting the Levirs trails to Upper Army Road near the low end of Sidecut. The purposes of this proposed new section were to take some traffic out of the sensitive Cabin Trail area, to create a far more safe and sustainable connection from the junction of Patterson’s Ridge and Residence Choice and to stop bikers from going through the golf course to gain Sidecut. Unfortunately, RCR was unwilling to let a short section of trail cross a steep slope below the golf course and so the project never moved forward this year. Many thanks to the volunteers who helped with these projects, but especially to those that turned out most frequently: Kent Goodwin, Lou Bédard, Paul Paronetto, Paddy and Naomi Humenny and

Natural History Committee Update The last few months have been busy for the Natural History group with the monitoring of the Eimer’s Lake ecosystem. A plant species inventory of the area has been started with a future interpretive program in mind. There were also walks of interest in other parts of the Park each month as well. The amazing diversity of the KNP provides endless sources of discovery for those willing to look for them. Each season presents new and exciting changes in every level of the Park, from under the ground to the tops of the highest trees. The KNP provides an array of habitats for more creatures and plants than we can name, an oasis for life. It has been said that everyone needs a safe place, a refuge, for whatever reasons, a place to restore balance. Just the simple knowledge that this place exists brings peace and hope. Once again this summer, volunteers from KNPS led our weekly Gateway To Nature hikes from the Riverside Campground into the Park. Visitors

to Kimberley were introduced to the many of the wonders of the Park and came to understand why they inspire us to protect it. The Natural History group will continue to actively monitor and catalogue the incredible natural values of the KNP.

KNPS Priorities and Values Meeting The KNPS has had its constitution for over 20 years (largely unchanged) and the Park Management Plan was updated in 2012. These, with a number of policy documents, help to shape how the Park is managed. Some recent discussions and concerns over new trails and events in the Park and Horse Barn Valley (both topics having policies) led the September meeting to call for volunteers to form a sub-committee to look at the issues in greater detail. Should the priorities/values of the Park be updated? A diverse group of members, ten in all, met on October 15. We spoke of why we thought there were tensions and shared some of what we personally value about the Park. Kent Goodwin gave some background to the various documents in play. With some

more debate and discussion, and rereading of several sections of the above documents, the talk focused in on the specifics that had led to our gathering. The Events policy is quite new and has already been updated once. Kimberley is clearly seeing an increase in demand from recreational events (mostly races). The policy was intentionally written somewhat conservatively, but with idea that it would be revisited over time. Thus far, no serious pressure has been put on this document in terms of numbers of events in the Park, nor by numbers of participants. The document does oblige proponents to quickly clean up after events and to help facilitate repairs to trails if they are damaged. The consensus at our meeting was that things have gone well so far and that no further modifications

POLL WEEK of the

need to be worried about until the policy is stressed by real circumstances. Trails in the Park and Horse Barn Valley have seen much rework over the last five years, almost all of it involving the creation of new sections that deal with unsustainable ones and all of it with input from the Natural History group and the approval of the board. Only one entirely new trail has been created/ built by the Society: Hoodoo View. There is a proposal before the KNPS to build a new trail in the ‘Tora Bora’ area of Horse Barn Valley. The group at the meeting agreed that every new proposal needs to be taken on its own merits and that the current document provides a balanced set of guidelines. As for the balance of values, the final consensus is that it is important for the KNPS to continue to emphasize conservation within the Park, while still finding a balance with recreation. The KNPS’s mandate to promote the Park and its values was seen to be important, and requiring some updated effort. A fuller web presence is a project being taken on this coming winter and the process of developing a promotional video will also be looked into.

Fuel Treatment Update Three areas of the Nature Park have been receiving fuel treatments this summer and fall. Contractors hired by the City with funding from the Province have been slashing and piling smaller conifer

trees and coarse woody debris along Duck Pond Trail, on the southeast slope of Myrtle Mountain and along Ponderosa Trail and Patterson Ridge. The intent is to thin the forest and remove enough ground fuels to make any fire that does occur more controllable. Since natural fires (which would have done this thinning) have been suppressed for many decades, the treatments also help to restore some areas to a more natural state. Burning of the piles started in late October and will continue through the fall. If snow comes early and in large quantities, some burning may need to wait till next spring. In the Duck Pond treatment area the contractor has received permission to mulch many of the piles rather than burn them. Using a grinding attachment on a small skid steer the material will be masticated and broadcast onto the forest floor. Over the next few years the KNPS and City consultants will be able to compare the effects of this mulching to the effects of pile burning and see how the natural vegetation regenerates. We expect fuel treatments to continue in various parts of the Park in future years and understanding the pros and cons of particular techniques will help us make better choices.

port individually and collectively identified that East Kootenay communities are facing what can only be described as a significant child care challenge and crisis,” the task force wrote. Bonnell said their are a number of both short term and long term solutions that could be accomplished by having governments and governing bodies pool their resources. For short term, the resources could be used for things like wage compensation grants for provincially certified early childhood educators and early childhood educator assistants working in a accredited setting. In the long term, the pooled resources could be used for things like researching the viability of moving to a fully funded and supported apprenticeship designation for early learning and child care in B.C. Coun. Danielle Cardozo said she knows how hard it is to get daycare. “I’ve gone to the College of the Rockies and put three children into daycare,” Cardozo said. “My brother did not take me seriously, when his wife found out she was pregnant, I said as soon as you find out you’re pregnant, you put your-

self on the wait list.” But she said he thought she was joking. “I don’t think people realize that you have to plan a year and a half to two years ahead, which is difficult,” Cardozo said. She noted that something like the “au pair” programs of the ‘80s could be a solution that is not often looked at. “Not necessarily the ones who are working towards immigration, but young ladies from Europe who are very qualified, educated women who just want to come here for an experience,” Cardozo said. “For families that do have an extra bedroom, who could provide room and board for that lady, it opens up the public childcare spots for those who don’t have room.” Bonnell said it hasn’t been ruled out, but hasn’t really been pursued either. “That could be an initiative that the City of Cranbrook wants to take on and could create an au pair program and provide the supports for individuals to come to Cranbrook,” she said. “It could address in part some of the child care issues that are assessed.”

FireSmart meeting From Page 1 The Fire Department wouldn’t do the work on private lands, but can evaluate and help you make a plan to make your property safer. If you did have a neighbourhood work party, the City could come in with the chipper to assist in getting rid of fuels. The Fire Department’s role is to evaluate, give suggestions, then re-evaluate and report to the province. The workshop will serve to identify and prepare prospective Community Champions to lead their neighborhoods towards increased preparedness for wildfire. This will be achieved by providing individuals with the information to recognize wildfire hazards; an understanding

and a supportive process for getting started on local projects to reduce the risk of wildfire losses.

Cranbrook RCMP arrest man wanted by FBI From Page 1 “We had a few accidents on the 17th after that bit of a snow.” A number of the accidents involved vehicles hitting ice, others involved careless driving and included charges under the Motor Vehicle Act. None of the accidents resulted in serious injuries.

One occurred due to ice on the bridge at the Fort Steele turnpike on the morning of Nov. 18. A truck hit the icy bridge deck and went off the road. The driver was not injured. RCMP responded to seven assault complaints over the past week, three of those resulted in arrests. Two of calls were domestic in nature.

veryone experiences a fall now and then. While most falls do not cause serious injury, occasionally we are reminded of how even a simple fall from standing can be catastrophic. Indeed, falls from standing height are the most common cause of injury-related hospitalizations across the lifespan and the number one cause of injury-related deaths in older adults. Falls are especially devastating among older adults causing over 90% of hip fractures and wrist fractures, and 60% of head injuries. There is no single reason why people fall. A fall usually occurs when several risk factors happen at the same time. For example, if you walk down the hallway in your home at a normal pace during the day, there is little chance you will fall. But if it is the middle of the night and there are no lights on, and you are rushing to get to the bathroom, your chances of falling are much greater. Many risk factors are within our control to change. Some people believe that falls are a normal part of aging, that no matter what they do, falls can’t be prevented, or that it won’t happen to them. The truth is, falls are not a normal part of aging. There are many things you can do to prevent falls. Keep your body active Being active is one of the most important ways to lower your chances of falling. It makes you stronger and helps you feel better. Activities that improve balance and coordination (like Tai Chi) are the most helpful. You are less likely to fall if you have strong muscles and good balance. Have your eyes checked by an optometrist once a year Poor vision can increase your chances of falling. Have your eyes checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. You may be wearing the wrong glasses or have a condition like glaucoma or cataracts that limits your vision. Also, clean your glasses often and be aware that the risk of falling outside and on stairs is increased when wearing

bifocals or progressive lenses. Have your doctor or pharmacist review your medications Some medications can increase your chances of falling if you experience negative side-effects, interactions between drugs, or errors in following prescription directions. Sedatives, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotic drugs can reduce mental alertness, worsen balance and gait, cause dizziness or drowsiness, and cause drops in blood pressure while standing. Have your doctor or pharmacist review all the medicines you take (even over-thecounter medicines) and tell them if the medications you are taking are making you drowsy or dizzy. If you are taking blood thinners (e.g. Coumadin) and have a bump or blow to the head, you should be seen immediately by a health care provider due to increased risk of internal bleeding. Make your home safer The majority of falls happen in our own homes while performing normal daily activities. Falls are often due to home hazards that are easy to overlook but easy to fix. To make your home safer: Remove small throw rugs or use double-sided tape to keep the rugs from slipping. Keep items you use often in cabinets you can reach easily without using a step stool. • Have grab bars put in next to your toilet and in the tub or shower. • Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors. • Place a lamp close to the bed where it’s easy to reach. • Put in a night-light so you can see where you’re walking. • Hang light-weight curtains or shades to reduce glare. • Have handrails and lights put in on all

Through the month of November, Safe Communities Cranbrook has been hosting its second annual Fall Prevention Awareness Campaign. Local partners, volunteers and service providers have hosted activities, workshops, meetings and social gatherings to bring attention to the significant risks associated with falls, and more importantly, to share simple things we can do to reduce them. This year’s activities run until Friday, November 27. Pick up a copy of the schedule at the information table in Tamarack Centre (Winners end, near Peoples Jewelers). For general online information about falls prevention go to www.findingbalancebc.ca About Safe Communities Cranbrook (SCC): Cranbrook was designated a safe community in 2009 because of the hard work and dedication of the Safe Communities Cranbrook Committee. Safe Communities Cranbrook has been a longstanding Cranbrook committee of organizations dedicated to reducing injuries and improving safety for Cranbrook citizens. Through Community research we have identified 3 injury priority categories that are the focus of our community work, they are: Suicide, Falls and Transportation. Our committee works to: • Address local safety concerns • Create safety awareness and • Reduce injuries of Cranbrook citizens Safe Communities Cranbrook meets once per month on the 1st Tuesday, excluding summer months, at the Kootenay Child Development Centre from 9:30am to 11am. New members are always welcome. For more information about SCC, please call 250-426-5677.

Lights out for opponents of Site C

he fall session of the B.C. legislature petered out two days early last week, as the ruling B.C. Liberals and the opposition NDP agreed to turn out the energy-efficient lights and head for home. NDP leader John Horgan skipped the last day and headed to the B.C. Institute of Technology campus in Burnaby. There he announced “PowerBC,” billed as the NDP’s “bold, progressive plan for the future of B.C. energy, with a strong focus on jobs.” Reporters asked, how many jobs? Horgan said retrofitting public buildings and homes for energy efficiency would create jobs all around the province, but he can’t say how many. How much does the plan cost, and does it include subsidizing homeowners to fix their windows and insulation? “The costing will be more apparent when we get closer to the election,” Horgan replied. Whatever the cost, the NDP plan apparently rests on the assumption that the $9 billion Site C dam project on the Peace River can be stopped by an NDP government after the 2017 election. That money would be used to build wind and solar generation, and to install a sixth and final water turbine at Revelstoke dam. The chances of Site C being stopped are approaching zero. Construction of an ac-

cess road started two months ago, site clearing and work camp construction a month before that. Energy Minister Bill Bennett says the main dam construction contract will be let shortly, followed by the powerhouse contract next year. Horgan said remaining legal challenges could slow or stop the project. The West Moberly and BC VIEWS Prophet River First Nations have lost their case against Tom Site C twice, in the B.C. SuFletcher preme and Federal Courts, and are appealing. The Doig River and McLeod Lake Indian Bands dropped their challenges, and McLeod Lake’s construction company has started work on a Site C contract. West Moberly Chief Roland Willson staged a dramatic protest at the legislature last spring, bringing a cooler of frozen bull trout from a river below the two existing Peace dams, telling media they were too contaminated with mercury to eat. Flooding land for hydro dams does elevate methylmercury levels in water, but BC Hydro provided me with the latest study that included fish samples collected by West Moberly members. It shows average methylmercury levels remain below federal guidelines for limiting consumption of commercially sold fish. It’s an odd coincidence that Willson

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

suddenly made this claim, 47 years after the first Peace dam was completed, when he happened to be in court trying to stop Site C. A coalition of U.S. and Canadian environment groups is also demanding that Site C be stopped, using typical arguments to appeal to their low-information donor base. According to the Sierra Club and others, Site C is not renewable energy because the (largely idle) farmland it floods is a “carbon sink.” Forests do store carbon, albeit temporarily, but farmland where the trees have been cleared? This is gluten-free gobbledegook. They also trot out the claim that Site C will be used to power liquefied natural gas operations. Most proponents so far have said they will use gas for LNG processing, and if they don’t have hydro available for ancillary power, they will have to burn more gas. BC Hydro has just finished its latest grid upgrade, a second high-voltage transmission line from Merritt to Coquitlam. It adds disaster reliability to the system that brings power from the Peace and Columbia dams to the Lower Mainland. If you’re arguing that hydroelectricity isn’t renewable power, you’ve already lost.

Overtime split for Kimberley Dynamiters Nitros drop OT decision to rival Ghostriders before edging Eagles in extra period Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Hockey fans got some serious bang for their buck this weekend as KIJHL action at the Kimberley Civic Centre required overtime to reach decisions both Friday and Sunday. Friday night, it was the Fernie Ghostriders (13-9-0-2) scoring a 3-2 overtime win against the host Kimberley Dynamiters (19-3-0-3), claiming round two of the clubs’ Eddie Mountain Division rivalry. In Sunday matinee play at the Civic Centre, the Dynamiters scraped out a 3-2 overtime win of their own, edging the visiting Sicamous Eagles (5-17-0-3). “I thought we played extremely well. For a while there it looked like it was going to be another one of those games where I thought we dominated play and a goalie beat us,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, Sunday afternoon. “[Kolby Pauwels] played phenomenal. But we stuck with it. “I thought we cycled the puck well. It was a really good game for us.” While the Nitros came out with two points from Sunday, that outcome was never certain as the two clubs went back-and-forth before California product Keenan Haase lit the lamp 28 seconds into overtime, scoring a feelgood goal to give his team the win. “We needed to win that game,” Haase said Sunday. “I’m glad my parents got to see a goal there this weekend, as they’re here. “It definitely gives me a bunch of drive, especially with them making that long flight from California. I’ve got to play my best for them now that they’re there [in the crowd]. The motivation was there and I just went with it.” In the opening stages of overtime, the native of Mission Viejo, Calif., collected a puck down low in the corner before wheeling out untouched in front of Eagles goaltender Kolby Pauwels and unleashing a hot shot over the netmind-

er’s shoulder. “Keenan looks like a man amongst boys out there,” Bancks said. “He always wins puck battles, he stays on top of the puck. He’s a tremendous player and he’s learning now to work hard to support the ‘D’ men. “You can argue he’s the best centreman in the league, in my opinion. He’s like a power centreman, which is kind of the new rage in hockey. I think he’s got a bright future.” For Haase, having family in the crowd wasn’t his only motivation to be the overtime catalyst Sunday. With a 2-1 lead on the board midway through the third period, the 6-foot-2 power forward ultimately scored the primary assist on the tying goal for Sicamous as his errant pass sprung Danny O’Donnell in alone on Tyson Brouwer for the game-tying goal. “Don’t pass to the other team for breakaways,” Haase said of the greatest lesson he took from Sunday’s win. “I let the second goal in. That was purely my fault.” The tying goal from O’Donnell eliminated the Nitros’ second onegoal advantage of the game, which had been conveniently provided by Taber, Alta., product Austyn Moser less than two minutes earlier. Veteran 20-year-old Eric Buckley opened the scoring in the first period and Eagles defenceman Alex Astasiewicz rounded out the scoring with a second-period tally. Brouwer turned aside 22 shots for his KIJHL leading 15th win of the season, while Pauwels was rock solid on 32 of 35 shots in the Eagles’ net. Friday night’s loss saw the Dynamiters surrender a 2-0 lead as the Ghostriders scored three consecutive to steal the bonus point. Nitros captain Jason Richter opened the scoring in the first period, before Trevor Van Steinburg doubled the advantage early in the third. After that, Fernie captain Cole Keebler took over, spurring the

The 20-year-old native of Calgary set up Zach Befus for the ‘Riders first goal, before knotting the game with 2:07 to play in regulation. Finally, Keebler completed the comeback win for Fernie by depositing a power-play marker into the back of the net in overtime. “We’ve got to learn to take everyone in this league serious this time

of year,” Bancks said. “This league improves. Every team improves. “It gets better and you can’t take anybody lightly. You have to strive to get better. “I don’t want anybody to be able to outwork us.” The weekend brought about KIJHL debuts for a trio of Nitros affiliate players (AP). Friday, 16-year-old Terrell Clarricoates

(Cranbrook) and 15-year-old Caige Sterzer (Kimberley) made their Dynamiter debuts, while Rylan D’Etcheverrey (Kimberley) skated as an AP Sunday. The Dynamiters will get back to work this week when they travel to Invermere to face the Columbia Valley Rockies (14-13-0-0) Friday before hosting the Spokane Braves (4-19-0-4) Saturday at the Civic Centre.

Ice goaltender Hobbs earns WHL honours Taylor Rocc a

Hockey fans in Cranbrook were witness to the stellar performance of rookie goaltender Declan Hobbs this past week and folks around the Western Hockey League took notice too. Monday afternoon, Hobbs, 17, was named the WHL’s nominee for CHL Goaltender of the Week honours after going 1-1-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and .957 save percentage this past week. “He’s steady,” said Ice alternate captain Matt Alfaro Saturday night. “I know I trust him and I know the rest of the team does.” Hobbs opened his week with a 39-save effort Tuesday in a 2-0 loss to the Everett Silvertips. From there, the 6-foot, 178-pound native of Saskatoon earned his first-career WHL victory by making 27 saves to backstop the Kootenay Ice to a 2-1 triumph over the Swift Current Broncos Saturday night. “It feels good to get that first one out of the way and hopefully there’s more to come,” Hobbs said Saturday’s. “It takes a load off my shoulders. I can feel better in the net now.” En route to his first WHL win, Hobbs was called upon for a critical

penalty-shot stop against Broncos forward Cavin Leth late in the second period. “I couldn’t be happier for the guy to finally get that [win],” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “We haven’t given him a lot of run support so he knows how good he’s got to be. “He’s just so calm and composed right now. “He’s controlling his rebounds really well and tracking really well. Our guys have full confidence in him in the net, which is nice.” Hobbs is in his first full season with the Ice after making two appearances during the 2014-15 campaign. In 2015-16, the former Saskatoon Contact is 1-4-1-0 with a 3.44 GAA and .900 SP. In 10 career WHL appearances, Hobbs is 1-4-2-0 with a 3.52 GAA and .896 SP. The Ice selected Hobbs in the third round (53rd overall) of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. In addition to naming Hobbs as the league’s nominee for CHL Goaltender of the Week, the WHL named Tyson Baillie of the Kelowna Rockets as Player of the Week. In three games, Baillie recorded three goals and seven points to help his Rockets go 3-0-0.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone might be critical of your actions, but if you take his or her words with humor and understanding, you won’t be offended. Use your instincts with your finances. Lady Luck will show up when dealing with a routine matter, and you’ll be all smiles. Tonight: Indulge a little. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could feel pressured by someone at a distance. As a result, you might become unresponsive for a while. Try not to be so serious with this person right now. Reach out to others who are feeling the same pressure -- you’ll be glad you did. Tonight: Do your own thing! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might need to heed your own counsel and play it lowkey, despite a need to act on a creative idea. You can take action, but you don’t need to make a public announcement. Avoid having a heavy discussion. Think through a decision. Tonight: Follow your sixth

sense. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Zero in on what you want from a loved one. You might be witnessing this person’s transformation, and want to let him or her know how you feel. Remain upbeat, no matter what occurs. Your words could change a situation for the better. Tonight: Hang with your pals. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Assume the role of leader. You might want to approach a work-related situation quite differently from how many others have. This originality makes you highly desirable in projects, as it tends to add to your success. Tonight: Tap into someone else’s imaginative ideas. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Look at the big picture before making any decisions. You might change your opinion as a result of having more insight. It wouldn’t hurt to confirm what you think you are seeing with a friend in order to get some feedback. Tonight: A serious one-on-one talk pays off. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You could be in a position where you want to change course in a financial matter. Give this idea some hard thought. Recognize that what originally was a good idea might not work for you now. Be graceful in a discussion. Tonight: Connecting with others might be difficult. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll want to make a close friend or associate feel valued. Understand that this person might be surprised by your actions and could have difficulty responding gracefully. Try not to take his or her response personally. Tonight: Accept an offer without making any comments. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be saturated with options that you are not comfortable with. A boss is likely to congratulate you on pursuing your present course. You could be in line for a pay raise or promotion. You seem to have difficulty relaxing. Tonight: Listen to your intuition. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Relate to an authority figure directly. You might want to ex-

press an idea that you believe is helpful, even if you feel less than confident about it. A child or loved one appears to be somewhat difficult and touchy. Tonight: Let go of stress. Be more childlike. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be in a position where you have to stay close to home or deal with a family member directly. Plans might need to be adjusted accordingly. Reach out to a trusted friend or loved one. You will gain a better perspective as a result. Tonight: Avoid complications. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Don’t hesitate to speak your mind. How you deal with others defines who you are. Be ready to head in a new direction, even if you don’t want to. Ultimately, you will see the wisdom of letting go of what doesn’t work. Tonight: At a favorite place with favorite people. BORN TODAY Author William F. Buckley Jr. (1925), former U.S. President Zachary Taylor (1784), actress Katherine Heigl (1978)

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married for 50 years and don’t think I can stand one more day. The man I am married to was once everything to me. Now, as each day passes, I grow more resentful. I like him less and less, almost to the point of hatred. He has always been a good provider. He worked while I stayed at home and raised our five children. Back then, I would never have expected him to come home and help around the house. But things are different now. It’s just the two of us and our animals. We are in our mid-70s, and I am still doing all of the work inside this large five-bedroom house. He refuses to help with anything. He lies on the sofa and channel surfs while I do everything. There is nothing physically wrong with him. His doctor says he’s in great shape. He shows no sign of mental decline, either. Downsizing to a smaller home is not an option for him. He likes it here. I have told him how I feel time and again, and that I’d like his help around the house, but he just looks at me. Maybe he wants a divorce and is too cowardly to verbalize it. In any event, I am past the point of caring. I just want out. -Old and Trapped Dear Trapped: Your husband may not want out. He may simply want to sit on the sofa while you do all the work. And you are doing it, so he sees no reason to change. You have some options: You can stop doing the cooking, cleaning and laundry for him, letting his clothes pile up and his food remain uncooked; you can look into hiring help; you can get counseling; you can seek legal counsel and leave, with or without a divorce. If your husband values the marriage, he will step up. If he doesn’t, at least you will know and can plan your future accordingly. Dear Annie: After reading the letter from “Need Some Relief,” I thought I’d share how our family handles Christmas with four adult children and their spouses, 13 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren (and an occasional visiting in-law). Dinner is at our house every year. Everyone participates by graciously bringing a dish. One son’s family prepares the turkey, with mashed potatoes and gravy. Another brings all the drinks. We prepare stuffing, cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes. Others bring apple and pumpkin pies. Traditional! We discuss dishes in advance, so there are no duplicates. It is such fun and each family feels good about sharing. New recipes are exchanged. We also decided to forego gift-giving and do a $5 Christmas exchange. We all sit in a circle holding our “special number,” anxiously awaiting our turn to pick the wrapped gift of our choice. Even the little ones screamed with delight, not at the gift, but because everyone was laughing and clapping. What a joyous occasion. Last, but not least, I insist on a group picture with everyone holding up their prized possessions. There is always a huge smile on each face. Because in the end it is being together that really matters. -- Happy in Florida Dear Happy: Your letter is refreshing. This is what holidays are all about. Or should be.

B.C. Conservatives want to compete in 2017 B.C. Conservative leader Dan Brooks was in Victoria last week on a tour of the province to prepare the party for the next election. Here are excerpts from his conversation with Black Press legislature reporter Tom Fletcher.

TF: There was a rumour that you’re in Victoria to join the B.C. Liberal Party. DB: I don’t know where that started. It’s false. I’ve never talked to a Liberal about anything of that nature, ever. TF: I only bring it up

because the eternal question is whether your party and your efforts can only help the NDP. DB: On the contrary, I think what we’re doing is critical to the health of B.C.’s political system. We need Conservatives in that legislature. It’s more important now than ever before. This is the opportunity to make wholesale change in B.C. It’s always been the lesser of two evils, the NDP and the Liberals. With a Conservative alternative, this is a chance to change the whole province. TF: What’s the first thing you would change? DB: Let’s strengthen our democracy right off the bat by banning corporate and union donations. That would take a lot of the power out of the hands of big unions

win that election in 2017. I’m touring the province to listen to British Columbians so we can develop a platform that really speaks to what they want to see in the next government, and with the platform and candidates in place, we’re going to be prepared well in advance. TF: The B.C. Liberals have a big push on for industrial development, particularly in the North. Do you support what they’re doing there? DB: I support some aspects of what they’re doing. The liquefied natural gas dream, if it ever comes to fruition, I think is a good thing for B.C. I support pursuing that dream. But the B.C. Liberals have really neglected northern communities, and the reason is you’ve got communities that are in decline. You’ve got population declines, schools closing. You’ve got a timber supply that’s in crisis, and they’re a decade behind in dealing with that crisis. They’ve been solely focused on LNG and they’ve excluded all the other economic opportunities in northern B.C. And that’s the problem with the B.C. Liberals up there. We’ve got to get a new economic vision for the North, for the Interior, that’s going to see a diverse economy, secondary value-added manufacturing, that looks at how we’re going to sustain communities long term, and not just a one-off, one project that’s going to result in

short-term employment for construction and then a couple of people in operations. TF: Gas-fired generation is how Fort Nelson runs, and always has. You would consider more of that? DB: I would consider more of that as our energy needs increase. When I think of Site C, the first thing that comes to mind is cost overruns, $8 billion, how soon is that going to be $16 billion? The B.C. Liberals do not have a track record of staying on budget. TF: Energy Minister Bill Bennett has gone out on a limb, predicting that they’re going to keep this one on budget. DB: We’ll see. TF: What else would you like to see in B.C.? DB: We need alternatives in B.C. politics. The B.C. Conservative Party is the best hope for British Columbia to make real, substantive change, economically, politically and I believe even socially. These old recycled ideas from the NDP and the B.C. Liberals are going nowhere. The B.C. Liberals have really poisoned the well, so to speak, with this open government and triple deleting and all those scandals. They’ve overstayed their welcome. People are looking around for alternatives, and they don’t trust the NDP.
