New manager takes over at Trout Hatchery T R E V O R C R AW L E Y

The Kootenay Trout Hatchery has a new leader at the helm, however, it is a familiar face to existing staff and the community. Owen Schoenberg-

er, who has been at the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. facility out in Bull River since 2004, was recently promoted to take over managerial and operational duties.

The Kootenay Trout Hatchery is responsible for stocking 150 lakes in the East and West Kootenay regions with species such as Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat trout, Eastern

Brook Trout, Kokanee Salmon and White Sturgeon. As far as he’s concerned, it’ll be business as usual. “I don’t see the operations changing a

whole lot here,” he said. “I don’t see me having a huge influence in the change of operations. Our basic day-to-day stuff will continue on being the same.” There are a few facil-

ity changes as fish runways in the ‘pond building’, as well as troughs in another area, have been replaced with 5-foot circular tanks. “We have a new con-

struction project freshly completed, so it’s going to be getting the entire staff comfortable with using that and looking forward using all that new equipment,” Schoenberger added. The facility and staff out at KTH accommodates adult holding, spawning and juvenile rearing of various fish species, which are also shipped off to other FFSBC sites in Clearwater and Summerland for distribution up in the northern regions and other parts of the B.C. Interior.

What’s Up?

KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Lt. Governor Judith Guichon reads the throne speech to set the government’s agenda at the beginning of the spring legislature session.

Throne speech focus on fuel, food Tom Fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark has doubled down on her election promise to pay off B.C.’s debt with revenues from liquefied natural gas exports, despite delays in proposed projects in the face of a global glut of oil and gas. “Success is not for quitters,” declared the government’s speech from the throne, delivered Tuesday by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon to open the spring session of the B.C. legislature. “It is not a choice between keeping B.C.’s natural gas in-

dustry stable or deciding to grow it,” the speech said. “We must begin to export, or the 13,000 people who depend on this industry today will be out of work.” One new initiative is a renewed focus on food production, including an expanded “buy local, grow local” effort involving local governments and community organizations. Farmers are to be offered a tax credit for donating food to non-profits, and an agrifoods conference is to be held in Kelowna in November. Touting B.C.’s economic performance, the speech in-

cludes unusual criticism of Alberta, saying it “lost its focus. “They expected their resource boom never to end, failed to diversify their economy and lost control of government spending.” The speech restates the government’s intention to implement recommendations from former deputy minister Bob Plecas to hire more child protection social workers and modernize the Ministry of Children and Family Development. “That work must begin with ending the culture of blame that exists for those public ser-

vants with the most difficult role,” the speech says. With an election scheduled for 2017 and the last full budget before it to be presented Feb. 16, the speech repeats the phrase “stand up for B.C.” that could emerge as a re-election slogan. It also refers to “getting to yes,” a phrase Clark has used frequently in relation to LNG and other resource developments. As it did before the 2013 election, the government has resumed jobs-themed TV ads focused on skills training and technology incentives.

Flipping of Vancouver homes to be probed Jeff Nagel Black Press

An investigation has been ordered into allegations some Vancouver-area real estate agents and allied speculators engage in shadow flipping where they insert themselves as middlemen in property deals to exploit local sellers and offshore buyers. B.C. Superintendent of Real Estate Carolyn Rogers is to work with an advisory committee of the Real Estate Council of B.C. to tackle the issue. Contract assignments are legally allowed where the supposed home buyer doesn’t actually close the deal but sells the contract on to someone else. Standard assignment clauses can be invoked when a buyer is unable to close but finds another buyer rather than break the deal. But realtors who are aware of or party to a scheme to resell contracts without the knowledge of the seller and ultimate buyer may be in violation of their duty to act in their clients’ best interest. “We are deeply concerned,” the Real Estate Council of B.C. said in a statement that described its response as “an urgent matter.” It said the committee will probe whether assignment clauses are being used appropriately, and make recommendations within 60 days on ways to boost enforcement and oversight of licensees that fail to disclose their investment in properties. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said it was “troubling” that realtors are alleged to have not acted in the best interests of the sellers to get the best possible price.

“If there is evidence of a trend developing where that is not taking place, where realtors are not disclosing for example their personal interest in a transaction, that is fundamentally wrong,” de Jong said. NDP housing critic David Eby has called for a more formal independent inquiry, adding the real estate council declined to investigate after he sent two letters in January outlining his concerns around contract assignments. Eby said the practices of some realtors appear to involve fraud, insider trading, tax avoidance and the dodging of federal disclosure rules to control international money laundering. The practice of realtors or proxies using assignments to profit from the gap between typical local selling prices and what can be extracted from Chinese buyers unfamiliar with the market was reported on the weekend by the Globe and Mail newspaper. The middlemen can quickly profit – to the tune of $500,000 in one example – without paying property transfer tax because that’s only due from the final buyer when title actually transfers. Realtors stand to make additional commissions when a home is shadow flipped — sometimes multiple times during a long closing period — between the seller and final buyer. Critics say the activity adds more fuel to an already overheated real estate market in Vancouver and some suburbs. The province is expected to take further steps to address real estate market concerns

when it hands down the budget later this month. Tsur Sommerville, professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business, said he doubts assignment flipping is a major force propelling the hot market, but more a symptom of it. Speculative flipping of assignments was common in the presale condo market several years ago when condo prices were rising fast. “The primary cause is prices are going up really quickly and sellers don’t know what their property is worth,” Sommerville said of the emergence of assignment resales in the detached house market. It’s unclear how much shadow flipping is happening, he said, but added the losers include the original sellers who could have got more, the ultimate buyer who overpays, governments who may lose out on taxes, and society in general if trust is lost in the system. “I think it’s important to take action on this,” Sommerville said. “It’s imperative that the real estate industry address issues that raise concerns about the ethical behaviour of their agents. A feeling that the property market is rigged I don’t think is a healthy thing.” He said potential reforms could include requirements to register assignments, to charge property transfer tax when they’re traded and to also charge the transfer tax on companies that hold property but currently can be traded without incurring the tax.

Dozing through commercials M

y ancient (read; decrepit) friend George and his dog Myrtle were watching the C.B.C. Commercials Programme the other evening. Well, in truth, George had assumed that she was there but Myrtle had drifted off because of sheer boredom. However, George wasn’t bored; he was actually sound asleep. George had eaten dinner then, when Fliss went out to wherever she bustled off to so frequently, George had found his favourite chair and switched on the TV to C.B.C. News, then promptly fallen asleep. He was so sound asleep that he didn’t notice that the commercials had quit for a moment or two and Ian Hanomansing had roused himself from his stupor, pasted on his make-up and introduced a well-decorated Wendy Mesley. George kept his eyes open for a second or two, appraised Ms Mesley and decided that he preferred his women with a little more meat on them, not that Felicity would have fretted about his interests in the opposite sex; her husband’s hopeless amorous ambitions were just that. Suddenly, Myrtle was barking furiously at some imagined intruder so George evicted her. As far as he was concerned, the fool dog could rattle other people’s chains. He returned to his slumbers as the commercials resumed.

He woke for a few seconds as Ian Hanomansing chuntered on about the purported sexual deviations of such notables as Bill Cosby, someone with the impossible name of Jian Ghomeshi and that pastor from the East Coast. He wondered momentarily about the stupid things that newscasters got their underwear in knots about, but not for long. He dozed seriously. He did note at one time that the announcer Catherine Cullen looked like a Peter nice broad, not too skinny, bit like his Fliss when she Warland apolished herself up a tad. And he pondered for a second or two where his wife had gone this time, but the commercials had taken over once more. At one time George thought that he’d heard Bobby Orr’s name mentioned and actually sat up. But then he recalled that Bobby Orr, as far as hockey was concerned, was past tense and realized that it was just an aged hockey star advertizing some sort of pain relief. “Pain in my ass!” muttered George. At one time, when Renee Filippone dared interrupt the commercials, George raised one eye-lid and said ‘What?’, wondering if Fliss might be home and could fetch him a beer but, too late, he found himself staring at a woman trimming her toe-nails with what looked like an old fashioned cigarette lighter. George exam-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ined two of his toes that were peering from the hole in his left sock. Those nails definitely needed trimming, he decided, but not just yet. At one time, George awoke with a start. He stared at the clock on the wall, tried to focus on a guy on the screen of the TV who was washing his poor, cracked hands with some crap or other, but realized that the phone was going. He tried to ignore it but the caller persisted so he pushed himself to his stockinged feet and tottered over to phone in the kitchen. He noted who was calling so picked up the receiver and slammed it down again. It was the old bat from next door complaining, no doubt, about the dog. He opened the door and called Myrtle, who came waddling in, stared for a hopeful moment at the fridge then followed her lord and master back to his armchair. He sat. She flopped then rolled over with her four feet pointing skyward. The dog wagged her stumpy tail as that smooth-talking Peter Maaaansbridge started maundering on about American politics, as if anyone cared. George and the dog were asleep immediately. On the screen, a young woman was driving a fancy Jeep across and artificial bit of roadway with ruts and creeks and fallen logs. If George had been awake, he’d have snorted. Most of the year, the driveway to his house looked just like that and he and Fliss only owned a battered GMC pick-up with bald tires, no fancy Jeep.

Kootenay Ice look to build upon shutout victory as Americans visit Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice (940-4-0) will look to build upon a shutout victory over the Lethbridge Hurricanes when they welcome the Tri-City Americans (24-25-2-1) to Cranbrook Wednesday evening. “Staying in the moment of understanding how hard of work it was,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, regarding what it’s going to take for his team to carry Saturday’s efforts forward. “All the little things you had to do -- the shot blocks, the smart changes -- and then not getting too far ahead of ourselves. We just beat a very good hockey team, but that doesn’t make us all of a sudden the favourites to win every game we play in. “We’re going to have a real tough opponent in Tri-City.” The Americans skate into Wednesday’s game having stacked up an impressive 7-2-0-1 mark over their past 10 games. With this recent run, Tri-City has scraped back into the Western Conference playoff picture, sitting three points back of the Portland Winterhawks (26-25-20) for the second and final wild-card slot. Meanwhile, for the Kootenay Ice, a 2-0 shutout of the Central Division-leading Lethbridge Hurricanes snapped a 10-game

winless stretch. “The way we’ve been losing hockey games lately, to give up none against the best team [in the division], it’s huge for us,” said Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin. “Now we’ve just got to realize what we did well, look at the things we need to do better and move on from there.” Wednesday’s outing marks the first of a fourgame Central Division swing for the Americans, who carry on to visit Lethbridge (Friday), Red Deer (Saturday) and Edmonton (Monday), before returning home. For the Ice, Wednesday stands as the second-last contest in a season-long, five-game homestand, which concludes Friday when the Spokane Chiefs (26-213-2) visit Western Financial Place. “This is a huge confidence-builder for us,” said Ice winger River Beattie. “We just need to keep moving forward and keep building off how we played [Saturday against Lethbridge] and carry it on into Wednesday [against TriCity] and the rest of the season. “We’ll keep going and keep getting better.” At 9-40-4-0 with 19 games remaining on the schedule, the Ice will finish the 2015-16 WHL regular season with a record below .500 for the first time since 1998-99. During the 1998-99 season, the club’s first in

TORONTO - Dion Phaneuf is trading sides in the Battle of the Ontario. A nine-player swap between the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs saw Phaneuf landing in the nation’s capital, ending a turbulent run in Toronto that began with a similar blockbuster trade six years ago. Phaneuf, the Leafs captain since the summer of 2010, improves an

inexperienced Ottawa defence while Toronto sheds another core piece and long-term contract one that carries a $7-million annual cap hit and expires in 2021. Toronto traded Phil Kessel to Pittsburgh for a package of prospects and picks last summer. Unlike the Kessel deal, which saw the Leafs retain $1.2 million annually until 2022, the Leafs kept no salary in the Phaneuf trade. That’s a key aspect for Toronto,

Kootenay Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin makes one of his 31 saves during Saturday’s shutout over the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Hoflin and the Ice will look to build on Saturday’s victory when they welcome the Tri-City Americans to Cranbrook for a Wednesday evening tilt. Cranbrook following a move from Edmonton, the Ice went 30-35-7-0 under then head coach Ryan McGill. The worst season in franchise all-time history, including its first two seasons in the league as the Edmonton Ice, came during the 1996-97 campaign -- the expansion year for the club. Under then head coach Dave Siciliano, the Edmonton Ice registered a record of 14-562-0, scoring 231 goals and surrendering 395. The 2015-16 edition of the Ice is on pace to score 150 goals while allowing 312 through 72 games. With that in mind, the team is on pace to win 12 games, though Saturday’s efforts could be a sign of brighter times ahead.

which is rebuilding under president Brendan Shanahan, GM Lou Lamoriello and head coach Mike Babcock. Phaneuf was enjoying perhaps his finest season as a Leaf, a redemptive one following a challenging 2014-15 season. Under Babcock, the 30-year-old was playing on the second defensive pair for the Leafs, no longer matched up against top lines, while getting more looks in the offensive zone.

He was on pace for nearly 40 points. The 30-year-old should add experience, penalty killing acumen and offensive capability to a Sens squad spearheaded by team captain Erik Karlsson, who leads the team with 59 points. Whether his addition will be enough to catapult the Sens into the playoffs remains in question. Ottawa is four points back of the New York Islanders for the final wild-card position

in the east. In addition to salary cap relief, the Leafs added a former first round pick in defender Jared Cowen, struggling 31-year-old winger Milan Michalek, two youngish forward prospects in Colin Greening and Tobias Lindberg, as well as second-round draft pick in 2017. Ottawa also received AHL forwards Matt Frattin, Casey Bailey, Ryan Rupert and defenceman Cody Donaghey.

Mount Baker Sr. Girls basketball travelled to Calgary over the Family Day long weekend to participate in the Bowness Trojan Classic. Mt Baker headed into the tournament with a 12 win and 5 loss record for the season. “We get to play teams we have already played this year and see if we are improving” says grade 12 player Claire Duffy. The Wild kicked off the tournament with a game against Henry Wisewood. It was a dominant game for Mt Baker as they went on to win the game 70-44. Rachel Hubick led the team in scoring with 15 points while McKenzie Lightburn chipped in with 12 points, 10 rebounds & 7 steals. The Wild then matched up with the home team from Bowness for their second game of the weekend. It was a physical match and the home team was not willing to back down. The Wild had a 15 point lead in the second quarter but Bowness pushed the game generating turnovers and at half time the Wild lead was only 4. In the second half of the game Bowness continued with the pressure that had proven successful and late in the 4th quarter had a 4 point lead. With 2:39 seconds left in the game the Wild broke the pressure and changed the momentum. The Wild pushed back and took a 1 point lead. With only 9.6 seconds remaining in the game, Wild player Rachel Hubick was fouled and went to the line to shoot two foul shots. She hit the first free

throw to make it a two point lead. Hubick missed on her second free throw but out battled three Bowness players for the rebound and put the ball back in for a two possession, 4 point, lead. The Wild won the game 52-49 and were led by the 24 rebounds and 10 points of Mary Amsing. McKenzie Lightburn completed her second double/ double with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 steals. The Wild moved to the final game against Thirsk High School - a team they had lost to earlier in the year by 15 points. The Wild were prepared for this game and held Thirsk to 15 points in the first half. The Wild never relinquished their hold on the lead and finished the game with a 60-34 victory and the Trojan Classic Tournament Championship. McKenzie Lightburn had her 3rd double/double of the weekend with 12 points, 12 rebounds and 5 steals. Clair Duffy contributed 10 points while shooting 50% for the game and playing her most inspired game of the weekend. Mckenzie Lightburn was named MVP of the tournament. The tournament Championship brings the Wild record to 15-5 for the season. The Wild season is built up of games throughout Alberta to prepare the team for 3A Provincials that are held in Langley from March 2-5, 2016. The next action for the Wild is February 12-13 where they will head to Southern Alberta and play in the Panda Classic at McGrath.

Sports Nitros answer coach’s challenge, split Former Ice captain Philp eager to get back into series with Ghostriders, defeat Nitehawks action with Rebels Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Following a disappointing 4-2 loss to the Fernie Ghostriders Fright night, Kimberley Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks said his team didn’t come prepared to play. And with that assessment, he issued a challenge to his KIJHL-leading squad with time winding down on the regular season schedule. “We didn’t come out prepared to play and once you’ve clinched, it takes a lot of character to play those games where you don’t have anything on the line,” Bancks said Tuesday. “When you respect players and kids in the group as much as I do… I have so much respect for them and I knew I could challenge them and that they would respond.” With the Eddie Mountain Division title already under wraps, the Dynamiters had clinched home-ice advantage through the opening two rounds of the KIJHL post-season prior to Friday’s home loss to the rival Ghostriders. Dan Burgess, Keagan Kingwell and Evan Reid all scored first-period goals for Fernie, before Justin Peers added another in the second period to give the Ghostriders a commanding 4-0 advantage. Though George Bertoia and Keenan Haase responded in the second period for the Nitros, it wasn’t enough as Fernie claimed a 4-2 win. On the road and faced with responding to their coach’s challenge, the Dynamiters visited the Beaver Valley Nitehawks Saturday night , scraping out a 4-3 victory

in double overtime. Goaltender Tyson Brouwer turned aside a whopping 50 shots, while veteran Sawyer Hunt posted three points, including the overtime-winning goal. With a busy weekend on the schedule, the Dynamiters wrapped up the Family Day long weekend with a Monday visit to Fernie. Once again, Brouwer was his usual self, blocking all 30 shots sent his way in a 2-0 shutout victory. The goose egg goes into the books as Brouwer’s league-leading seventh shutout and league-leading 29th triumph of the 2015-16 KIJHL season. Veteran Jared Marchi tallied the game-winning goal on the man advantage during the second period of play and Eric Buckley iced the victory with an empty-net effort late in the penalty-filled affair. At the end of the afternoon, the Nitros had handed the host Ghostriders a total of nine power-play opportunities. Rookie forward Austyn Moser was ejected from the game after in-

curring a five-minute major for checking from behind on Ghostriders forward Ryan Kennedy. Bancks expects Moser, a native of Taber, Alta., to see a two-game suspension for the play. “He certainly deserved the five-minute penalty, but he certainly didn’t go looking,” Bancks said. “He was chasing the guy down the wall and the guy turned back on him just as he hit him. It was unfortunate. “I like the class [Moser] showed. He stayed down with the kid. You could tell he was very remorseful. We don’t see that enough in hockey.” Looking back on three games in four nights, Bancks is pleased to come away with four of a possible six points, especially considering the response his charges showed following Friday’s challenge. “I thought the young guys stepped up and played a great game in Beaver Valley and Fernie,” Bancks said. “It’s all part of a process. You need to lose and have a little bit of desperation sometimes to improve as a team. I was thrilled

we were able to do that.” Monday’s victory in Fernie pushes the Dynamiters to a KIJHL-best record of 37-7-0-4 (78 points). Having already clinched the Eddie Mountain Division and home-ice advantage for the first two rounds of the post-season, next on the docket for Bancks’ crew is to clinch the Kootenay Conference title. Sitting 10 points ahead of the Beaver Valley Nitehawks (31-9-33), one more Kimberley victory will assure homeice advantage through the first three rounds of the post-season. The KIJHL regular season title remains up for grabs with the Nitros and Osoyoos Coyotes (35-9-1-1, 72 points) in contention. The Nitros have four games remaining on the slate, while the Coyotes have six games to do. Next, Kimberley travels to face the Spokane Braves (8-35-0-4), winners of two straight, before returning home for another date with the Ghostriders (26-17-0-4) Saturday evening at the Kimberley Civic Centre. From there, the Dynamiters wrap up the season by hosting the Golden Rockets (4-39-13) Feb. 19 before travelling to Fernie Feb. 20.

Former Kootenay Ice captain Luke Philp has yet to suit up for the Red Deer Rebels since a Jan. 3 trade sent him east across the border to the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup hosts. Hampered with a broken ankle since mid-November, Philp was in Cranbrook this past Friday evening, though he didn’t take to the ice as his Rebels skated to a 5-2 victory. “It was weird, but I was happy I was able to come on the road trip back,” Philp said following his team’s win Friday evening. “I actually did skate [Friday] morning, so I was on the ice a little. But it was nice to be back and see my billet family and friends, guys on [the Ice]. It was a different experience.” With the 20-year-old Philp skating, the next question is a simple one: how close is he to returning to game action? “He might be able to play Saturday, we’ll see how the week goes,” Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter told Greg Meachem, of the Red Deer Advocate, on Tuesday without making any promises. “He just started skating and has had just one full practice with the team.” While that might not matter much to Kootenay Ice fans as Friday’s outing marked the final meeting of the season between the two Central Division rivals, it certainly means a whole lot to the Rebels. Sutter gave up 20-year-old Presten Kopeck, 17-year-old Ryan Pouliot, and 16-year-old Tanner Sidaway, along with second- and thirdround picks in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, in order to acquire Philp. “The guys are really good and they’ve made the transition a lot easier,” Philp said of life with the Rebels. “The coaching and training staff is good. I’ve been spending a lot of time with the training staff. They’ve been really good to me in welcoming me to the Rebels. I’m just excited to get going, get playing. “[The ankle] feels really good. I’ve been skating for two weeks now and it’s close. It’s close. I don’t know exactly how

I’m excited to get back practicing with the team and hopefully be in the lineup soon.” The 5-foot-10, 174pound pivot originally sustained the ankle injury Nov. 21 in a 2-1 Kootenay Ice victory over the Swift Current Broncos. To that point in the campaign, the shifty centreman had posted 13 goals and 29 points in 22 games. As it stands, the Rebels (34-16-1-2) have 19 games remaining in regular season action. While the ticket is booked to the Memorial Cup as event hosts, the club is still pushing for a Central Division title, sitting second behind the upstart Lethbridge Hurricanes (37-16-0-0) Prior to breaking his ankle, Philp had remained relatively healthy throughout his 247-game WHL career, missing no more than six games after joining the Kootenay Ice on a full-time basis in 201213. While the ankle injury has presented some challenges and made the well-spoken leader anxious watching from the stands, it has provided him a unique opportunity to watch his new teammates and learn about their build from a distance. “We can play in different fashions -- we can play a physical game or we can play a skilled game,” Philp said. “We work extremely hard.

We’ve got some work to do here over the last 20 games. It’s not going to be an easy road, but we’re ready and we’re hoping to make a good playoff run here. “Consistency in the effort we bring [needs improvement]. These are big games coming down the stretch. Every night is big points, we’re trying to catch Lethbridge right now. We know we can be a really good team when we want to be, but it’s being a really good team every night.” With the Feb. 8 release of the WHL’s Weekly Report, Philp’s status has been upgraded to day-to-day after being listed as week-toweek on the Feb. 1 edition of the league’s injury and roster roundup. Next on the docket for Philp and the Rebels is a Wednesday meeting with the Medicine Hat Tigers (20-30-3-1) at the Enmax Centrium. In 247 career regular-season games with the Kootenay Ice, Philp amassed 95 goals, 140 assists and 235 points. His 235 career points sit sixth all-time in Ice franchise history. In 28 WHL post-season games, all with the Ice, Philp tallied 12 goals and 28 points, and was named the team’s top playoff performer in 2015. Philp, a native of Canmore, Alta., was a thirdround pick (59th overall) of the Ice at the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Should you make a hasty decision today, know that it could backfire. You might be forced to spend a lot of downtime alone to figure out where you went wrong. Do some heavy thinking and decide where your energy would be best placed. Tonight: Go for some extra R and R. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Though others could stumble into hassle after hassle, you will see the situations in your life play out differently. You are OK with a more easygoing solution, whereas a friend or loved one might feel that it is important to make the right decision for you. Tonight: A force to behold. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are more centered and direct than usual. This mindset could be more significant than you realize. You might feel like you’re at the center of a storm with many crosswinds hitting you. A partner is likely to suggest that you revise your schedule. Tonight: Working late.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Experiencing life unpredictably is easy for you. Your innate shift of moods reinforces a need for constant change. Perhaps the only consistent aspect of your life is change. Use your ability to look at the big picture, and you’ll find the right path. Tonight: Use your imagination. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) No matter what your status is, someone in your life often seems to trigger many romantic thoughts. Follow a suggestion from this person, but only as long as it doesn’t get you into too much trouble. This individual serves as a muse in your life. Tonight: Be responsive! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Continue to defer to those you care about. Whether you know it, or whether you are right or wrong, it really makes no difference. You are giving the other party an opportunity to express his or her individuality. Graciousness will be appreciated. Tonight: Try a new hotspot. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might have been on a roll

Tundra

at the beginning of the week, but now you must deal with everything that you have been putting off. As a result, you are likely to be busy with an upand-coming project, and could have to do some delegating. Tonight: Use your instincts well. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Many people see you as brilliant; however, your ingenuity and great ideas come from a strong imagination. A business meeting could become far more provocative, but only if you run with the moment. Tonight: Acting like a teenager might renew your spirit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Pressure stems from your judgments about what is expected of you. You could be pushing yourself very hard without recognizing why. The good news is that you’ll see the results you want. Others seem to admire your success and your drive. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) More and more you become in touch with your intuition. You are beginning to understand

just how valid this voice can be, even if you don’t want to acknowledge it. Stop and think about some of your decisions today and how you got where you are. Tonight: Return calls first. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take charge of your finances. You might not want to, but consider the ramifications if you don’t. Someone you admire could be very quarrelsome today. Try to walk in this person’s shoes, and you will understand where he or she is coming from. Tonight: Respond to a close loved one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might experience some anxiety regarding a decision. Worry less, and do more research. You will come up with the right path for you. Understand that each individual is very different and that choices will be very different from one person to the next. Tonight: All smiles. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Don Omar (1978), TV personality Glenn Beck (1964), actress Chloe Grace Moretz (1997) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: While in high school in the late 1970s, there was this guy, “Scott,” who had a crush on me. Nothing transpired back then, so fast-forward 30 years. A month ago, I received a Facebook friend request from Scott. Of course, I accepted and found out he and his wife are separated. I also looked at his friends’ list and noticed he had friended a few other people, including my sister. I didn’t think much about it at the time. I knew that my sister had a new boyfriend, although she claimed I didn’t know him. For the past three weeks, I have been receiving his Facebook messages. He said that I looked good, and I thought maybe he wanted to rekindle the crush from high school. But I noticed that whenever he would log off, my sister would also log off. It turns out he’s been seeing my sister, who lied that I didn’t know her new boyfriend. She just broke off a relationship in November with a guy from my high school class, and now she is on to another one. In his last message to me, Scott told me he was seeing my sister and hoped I was OK with it. Annie, I barely spoke to the guy in high school. Sure, we dissected a frog together in biology class, but that was about it. He waits 30 years, adds me as a friend and sweet talks me, but dates my sister? Was he asking my permission? I don’t understand this. I didn’t respond to his last message and I unfriended him. I felt he was fishing on Facebook for a new girlfriend, and my sister took the bait. Was I reading too much into these messages? -- Totally Confused in Indiana Dear Indiana: We can understand the confusion over what seems to be mixed messages, but this isn’t worth getting your hackles up. It’s been 30 years since high school. He can date anyone he wants, including Sis. Yes, they should have been upfront about it instead of making it seem sneaky and dishonest. But really, who cares? Wish them both well and then forget about it. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Momzilla’s Mother,” whose daughter was so overprotective that she monitored which shampoo Grandma could use on her child. You were spot on when you said the granddaughter will eventually bring her mother’s overprotectiveness to an end. My mother was a Momzilla, and convinced I was in terrible danger unless she supervised every minute of my life. By the time I was 12, I had developed myriad ways to hide my activities from her endless obsession. She deprived herself of ever knowing me as an individual and lamented the “loss” of my love until the day she died. Because I had so much going on that she was unaware of, I didn’t feel I could come to her for advice, and as a result, made mistakes that have haunted me for years. Momzilla is setting herself up for future bitter disappointment. But if anyone has found a way to make such a person aware of the damage she’s doing to herself and her daughter, I’ve never heard of it. -Momzilla’s Daughter Dear Daughter: How sad for you and your mother. We would like to think that Momzillas everywhere will read this and consider it a wake-up call.

YOUR AD in the TOWNSMAN has staying power. has selling power!

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
