Severe weather has taken a heavy toll on a number of the Shuswap’s premier trails.

In the past year or so, the Gorge Creek Loop Trail in Craigellachie, the Upper Bear Creek Flume Trail in Roder-ick Haig-Brown Provincial Park and the Reinecker Creek Trail west of Margaret Falls in Herald Park all suffered at the hands of nature which, in some cases, caused substantial infrastructure damage that will cost thousands of dollars to re-pair. In the case of the Gorge Trail, a temporary closure is even being considered, though this also relates to access.

Sometime over the winter and spring, heavy blowdown made much of the Gorge Trail inaccessible. A provincial Ra-pattack crew subsequently cleaned and cleared a lot of the trail, though a quarter of the loop is still unsafe.

“The infrastructure got quite battered this past sea-son… some bridges got dam-aged and stuff, and the repairs are quite expensive,” said

Shuswap Trail Alliance ex-ecutive director Phil McIntyre-Paul. “So that’s where they’re looking at it, saying, ‘wait a minute, if we invest in those repairs, we should be looking at the whole package.’”

The ‘whole package’ Mc-Intyre-Paul referred to has to do with access to the trail head, which involves crossing the Trans-Canada Highway from the Last Spike tourist attraction where parking is available. McIntyre-Paul says the province is considering a temporary closure of the trail system until a solution can be found.

“What’s happening is ev-

eryone is parking at Craigel-lachie, and the trail head is on the other side of the highway, and the highway is coming down a slope through that nar-row little bridge,” explained McIntyre-Paul. “So picture it, several bus loads of visiting tourists, and someone says there’s a trail over there. So now you’ve got 40 people run-ning across the highway.”

The Gorge falls under the purview of Recreation Sites and Trails BC, a branch of the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Ministry spokesperson Greig Bethel con� rms a potential closure and/or alteration of the

trail is currently under review.“This review will consider

future construction on the Trans-Canada Highway, and the safety of visitors crossing the highway,” said Bethel.

While the public may still access the Gorge Trail, those attempting to hike the Up-per Flume will be greeted by a closure sign. Some of the bridges and wooden walkways were thoroughly damaged by a washout last year, while other aging bridges still standing are considered unsafe. Unlike the Gorge, the Flume’s future is looking good.

McIntyre-Paul explained it is part of the Roderick Haig-Brown provincial park trail system, which falls under the jurisdiction of BC Parks and the Ministry of Environment. With this being a dominant year for the Salmon Run, BC Parks prioritized upgrades and repairs for the Salute to the Sockeye event, which could see upwards of 350,000 visi-tors.

Governments support rail resolution

A made-in-the-Shuswap resolution for the B.C. government to take ownership of abandoned rail corridors received unanimous support at this year’s Union of BC Municipalities convention.

During this annual gathering of local gov-ernment representatives, held Sept. 22 to 26 in Whistler, Sicamous Coun. Terry Rysz pre-sented the resolution that the province “facili-tate public acquisition and ownership of aban-doned transportation corridors,” and that the B.C. government work with UBCM to develop a funding mechanism such as a province-wide parcel tax, to help gov-ernments or community groups purchase and maintain corridors for public recreational use.

The resolution was prompted from a June 25 meeting between the mayors of Vernon, Arm-strong, Sicamous, and representatives from Si-camous council, the Splatsin, the Columbia Shus-wap and North Okanagan regional districts and the Shuswap Trail Alliance, where retention of the rail right of way between Sicamous and Arm-strong was discussed. The result was a resolution by the District of Sicamous that originally called upon UBCM to become the owner of abandoned railways. This wording, however, was not sup-ported by the UBCM executive, which resulted in a last-minute rewording, as well as some lobby-ing, with assistance by CSRD director and outgo-ing UBCM president Rhona Martin.

Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton said the amended resolution was approved by his fellow delegates without question.

PLEASE STOP SPEEDING... BEFORE

SPEEDING STOPS YOUA special council

meeting is being held tonight for the selec-tion of a contractor for the construction of the Mara Lake water treat-ment plant.

District staff is rec-ommending council ap-prove Maple Reinders Inc. of Kelowna as the general contractor, with

the contract valued at $7,320,000, including fees, taxes and charges.

Council has ap-proved a budget of $7.9 million for the project. Three bids were received, includ-ing Maple Reinders at $6,618,002, Cumming Construction Ltd. of Penticton at $7.9 mil-lion, and Tritech Group Ltd. of Langley at $8.2 million.

Both the project consultant for the district, Opus DaytonKnight, and the project management team are supportive of the contract being awarded to Maple Reinders.

In a report to coun-cil, district operations manager Randy Hand notes while Maple Reinders tender is with-in the overall budget,

the district’s initial con-tingency of $833,000 will be reduced to $300,000. To increase it, staff is proposing to work with the consul-tants and contractor to “obtain potential initial cost reductions to the contract amount and by postponing certain works, ie, off-site work on Dabell Street and landscaping compo-nents.”

“As the project nears completion and the contingency balance solidifies, the cost re-ductions and postponed works can be reviewed and added back into the contract for comple-tion,” writes Hand.

The special coun-cil meeting begins at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 1 in council cham-bers.

be fabulous for inter-national travellers,” said Trouton, adding the province’s support would also help pre-serve the abandoned corridors for possible future transportation needs.

Also successful was the district’s resolution to amend the Mines Act to require a permit applicant to confirm the proposed mining activ-ity is in an area where it would be permitted under the local official community plan. This

resolution, presented by Coun. Don Rich-ardson, also received unanimous support.

Another highlight for the mayor was a meeting with Transpor-tation Minister Todd Stone and discussion relating to the Bruhn Bridge. Prior to the meeting, Trouton said he received a phone call from the minis-try and was told that a planning committee was being struck for the bridge.

At UBCM, Coun. Suzanne Carpenter at-tended several work-

shops, including one entitled Improving Health for Remote and Rural Communities. She says the take-away from this was that Si-camous has to be a driving force in mar-keting itself to attract doctors.

“When I say mar-ket I mean all aspects of the community from providing good schools, lots of recre-ational activity and ac-cess to the arts,” said Carpenter. “We need both provincial and local governments to help with the process

and over and over again.”

One of the solutions offered at UBCM is to make it easier for doc-tors from other coun-tries, or doctors educat-ed outside of Canada, to work as a doctor.

“A resolution to have a voice on our health agencies was endorsed by UBCM,” said Carpenter.

Not running for re-election, Trouton says his presence at this year’s UBCM was no less important – and involved no less work – than in past years. He

notes there is a need for consistency when it comes to lobbying the province.

“For example, the Bruhn Bridge stuff, even though we’ve got a planning committee, planning is one thing, implementation is an-other,” said Trouton. “We need to lobby as much as possible, and continue so this doesn’t get shuffled off and not prioritized. Because that happens. Just be-cause we’re planning, that doesn’t mean it’s happening. You must continue to lobby.”

Community must market itself for new doctorsContinued from front

Cariboo region, Adrian Wynnyk confirms this is what has happened, and says the Upper Flume will see repairs in next year’s budget, possibly as early as June. The major work on the trail will be replacing the bridges, which Wyn-nyk estimates may cost

between $20,000 and $30,000 apiece. How-ever, the replacement structures will have a longer lifespan as they will incorporate steel stringers and girders, as opposed to more trees being taken down for use, as was done in the past.

This is good news for the Trail Alliance,

which has provided trail inventory data to the ministry, illustrating the importance of the Flume to local users.

“This is a really important trail system locally,” said McIntyre-Paul. “Personally, I think a lot of folks still don’t really know about it, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful trail

systems in the region.”While damage at the

Reinecker Creek Trail isn’t as wide-spread, it is still substantial. A portion of the trail eroded over the winter and spring, resulting in its closure. Some re-medial work was done, and the trail reopened, but the erosion contin-ues. McIntyre-Paul says

the trail alliance has a conceptual reroute that would bypass the trou-bled area, but the issue is funding. He says the alliance has so far been unsuccessful with grant applications, but will continue to apply, and he is optimistic a fix will be found given the importance of Herald Park to the region.

Over 10,000 ads - updated daily bcclassified.comIf you think the

province’s electoral boundaries should be changed, here’s your chance.

The BC Electoral Boundaries Commis-sion will be in Salmon Arm on Monday, Oct. 6 for a public hearing at the Prestige Harbour-front Resort beginning at 5 p.m.

Residents are wel-come to provide input at such meetings, which

generally go for about two-and-a-half hours and include a 10-minute presentation.

Salmon Arm is one of 29 communities around the province be-ing visited by the com-mission, explains Don Main, communications manager with the com-mission.

He said the group is looking at four different parts of the province, one of which is the cen-

tral and east Interior. The tour includes stops in Kelowna, Kamloops, Revelstoke, Penticton, Trail and Cranbrook.

The commission considers factors such as whether there’s a town or a development on one side of a bound-ary that identifies with another electoral dis-trict, for instance.

“It’s like renovating a house – if you’re not adding a room, you’re

taking it from another room.”

He said a non-par-tisan boundaries com-mission is appointed after every second elec-tion in B.C., or every eight years. Within its mandate is the option of increasing the number of electoral districts by two.

B.C. is currently di-vided into 85, which are each represented by one Member of the Legisla-

tive Assembly (MLA). In addition to the

public hearing, resi-dents may provide in-put to the commission via an online submis-sion form or by email. Input will be accepted if it is received before 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16.

Main says people should go to www.bc-ebc.ca for online sub-missions or informa-tion updates.

The Shuswap Com-munity Foundation is releasing its first Vital Signs report on Oct. 7. The report is a reveal-ing snapshot of the health and vitality of the Shuswap region. It has gathered and pub-lished reader-friendly data on social and eco-nomic trends and as-signed letter grades in 10 issue areas critical to quality of life.

With lots to cel-ebrate, there were also some sobering statis-tics indicating room for growth and improve-ment.

Shuswap residents ranked each of the is-sue areas, assigning the top letter grade to arts and culture and the lowest to gap between

rich and poor and get-ting around. Other no-table findings include:

• Affordable hous-ing remains a chal-lenge across the region

• Shuswap Trail Al-liance is a leader in providing a best prac-tice model for trail de-velopment and mainte-nance for the province of B.C.

• Increased popula-tion during the summer months places added pressure on our health, safety and social ser-vices.

One of the signifi-cant benefits of the Vi-tal Signs report was the process itself in garner-ing information.

At the engagement sessions, key infor-mants and community

leaders, perhaps meet-ing for the first time, were able to share their perspectives in each of the issue areas. As a result of these new re-lationships, the knowl-edge gained will help broaden our under-standing of quality of life in the Shuswap.

Shuswap’s Vital Signs 2014 report has documented the oppor-tunities and the chal-lenges in a variety of areas of interest. The contents of the report will encourage dis-cussion on the part of concerned individuals, local governments and charitable organiza-tions.

In two years’ time, the Shuswap Commu-nity Foundation will

produce a second re-port measuring chang-es and identifying trends. The goal is to help build sharing and caring communities throughout the Shus-wap region.

For an in-depth view, you can ac-cess the full report at Shuswap Community Foundation’s website on Oct. 7 at www.shuswapfoundation.ca, or pick up a copy at the office located at 50 Lakeshore Dr. NE in Salmon Arm.

The Vital Signs launch event takes place on Tuesday, Oct. 7, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Old Courthouse on 20 Hudson Ave. in Salmon Arm.

WHISTLER – The big story at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was a report commissioned by the B.C. government that reveals municipal pay increases for unionized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises.

When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the in-tent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM convention, she was blunt. It’s to get this is-sue onto the agenda for the November municipal elec-tions.

Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Ca-nadian Union of Public Employees, for the last couple of decades. As local election turnout has gone from bad to worse, munici-pal employees themselves have become an increas-

ingly dominant voting bloc.Then there are the “la-

bour councils” in urban centres, now almost en-tirely fronts for public sec-tor unions. They quietly survey council candidates to determine their level of affection for ever-growing public payrolls, and dole out campaign funds ac-cordingly. Sometimes they organize full slates, with cuddly names like “Protect Coquitlam” to appeal to low-information voters.

During last week’s convention in Whistler, I caught up to Finance Min-ister Mike de Jong in a brief break from the dozens of meetings cabinet ministers have with mayors, council-lors and regional directors.

Is the province going to impose some kind of solu-tion?

“There’s not some hid-den legislative agenda,” de Jong replied. More data needs to be gathered, and the report shows ongoing

problems with manage-ment salaries at the provin-cial level as well.

Is this the first step to imposing a tight-fisted cen-tralized bargaining agency, such as the government set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to the ground?

“We haven’t formulated our answer,” de Jong said. “What the data does sug-gest, however, is that there may well be some merit [to centralized bargaining].”

Will the new municipal auditor general have a role in this?

“The purpose of the au-ditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was to play a traditional audit function on whether taxpayers are getting value for money. To that extent I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to comment on the ad-vantages of co-ordinating efforts.”

NDP leader John Hor-

gan’s attack on the com-pensation report was as predictable as it was se-lective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass lo-cal politicians on the eve of their elections.

Did he question Ernst and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff? Did he question their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No. The facts be-ing against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them.

So there’s the big ques-tion to be considered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candi-dates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE?

Clark should focus on own house

OPINION

Christy Clark has found a convenient distrac-tion in municipal governments.

B.C.’s Wiarton Willie of the recently ended teachers’ strike emerged last week to make headlines with her speech to delegates at this year’s Union of BC Municipalities convention in Whistler.

Amid the name dropping and talk of finding solu-tions and getting “our house in order,” the premier also used her speech as an opportunity to turn the spotlight on municipal government wages.

“Some local governments are paying more than the province for people to do similar jobs. And in those cases, compensation levels are simply too high,” stated Clark, referring to a report commissioned by the B.C. government that also paints Crown corporations as having issues with managing compensation and spend-ing. In response, Clark stated the province is moving towards taxpayer accountability principles.

“I’m not here to point the finger…,” said Clark, who later told Black Press it was her intent to get this issue on the agenda for the November municipal election.

Is it really the premier’s duty to decide what the focus of voters should be in their respective municipal elections?

Doesn’t she have enough work getting her house in order, what with the shaky Petronas situation, pipeline protests by opposing civic leaders, fracking quakes and tailings ponds fallout and, of course, the province’s still sore relationship with teachers? And what about the pay and benefits at Crown corporations?

The province’s report notes the salaries of municipal employees increased by 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012. Interestingly, another report, released by the Columbia Institute entitled “Who’s Picking Up the Tab,” notes local governments have had to make up for about $4 billion in reduced transfer payments from provincial and federal governments, while “finding themselves picking up the slack on housing, mental health, addiction, social services, wastewater treatment, diking, flood management, drinking water and recreation infrastructure.”

Maybe the local government pay bubble needs to be popped, and/or maybe they’re just doing a heck of a lot more work so their provincial counterparts can do less, and make their leader look fiscally responsible come election time.

Okanagan-Shuswap MP Colin Mayes fully supports Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s stance on climate change.

Close to 200 people took to the street in Salmon Arm last week-end to urge political leaders to take action on climate change, with a local focus on Harper as well as B.C. Premier Christy Clark. The march was in con-junction with marches around the world that preceded the United Nations Climate Sum-mit in New York City.

“Right now, Chris-ty Clark and Stephen Harper are behaving with utter disregard for climate science. This march and rally was testament to wide-spread feeling that this has to change,” stated Warren Bell, a central organizer of the local march. “Global warm-ing is accelerating; des-erts are expanding, Arc-tic ice is melting and extreme weather events are increasing. The world’s heads of state are beginning to under-stand that they need to discuss ways to slow it down, and do so now. So far, our prime minis-ter, Stephen Harper, has only paid lip-service to global warming, while strongly supporting tar sands development and natural gas fracking, which will make the problem worse.”

Mayes disagrees. “First of all, it’s in-

teresting that they talk about climate change instead of global warm-ing, because at one time it was all about global warming caused by hu-man activity,” Mayes told the Observer, when asked about climate change. “Because of many of those state-ments that were made during that time were proved to be not true,

such as that the glaciers in the Himalayas were going to disappear in � ve years, they found out that was not factual; that the polar ice was di-minishing and was go-ing to disappear. Actu-ally it’s increased 40 per cent. And that some of the statements made by Al Gore with regard to the Inconvenient Truthabout polar bears is not true because the num-bers of polar bears are at an all-time high in the last 20 years. So, that’s one issue.

“But as far as climate change, our govern-ment has taken climate change seriously and, in 2012, our greenhouse gas emissions were down 5.1 per cent lower than in 2005.”

He said the other is-sue is that Canada has

the cleanest emissions from electricity genera-tion in the world.

“And 63 per cent of the electricity gen-erated in this country is from renewable re-sources. Which is the highest in the G7. And our carbon emissions are only two per cent of all the global carbon emissions. We have spent, I think it’s six bil-lion dollars, on various initiatives to help our greenhouse gas emis-sions, also to look at making investments in not only cleaner energy but more ef� cient ener-gy production. And so, we have a target of 50 per cent reduction by 2030. So we’re doing our part, and it’s kind of interesting because I don’t know what those people who are demon-strating are measuring us against.”

He said China and India need to get on board, emphasizing that Canada produces only two per cent of global carbon emis-sions.

“I feel that we’re do-ing a reasonably good job. The � gures show that that’s a true state-ment.”

He suggested that activists protest against China and India.

“They’re not as vo-cal against China as they are against Can-ada, simply because they’re activists. That’s all they’re doing, look-ing at a democratic country they think they can in� uence. They know they’ll never in-

� uence China. Or In-dia.”

Mayes said there isn’t anyone in the House of Commons who doesn’t think pro-tecting the environment is one of the number-one responsibilities.

“We have different

approaches. Our gov-ernment’s approach has been, I think a constant improvement, without throwing billions of dol-lars on things that might be unproven science but also what might not be economically wise so we can remain competi-

tive in the world as we trade and yet be respon-sible to good environ-mental stewardship.”

About 120 world leaders attended the UN Climate Summit. Harp-er was one of a number who did not, but he sent Environment Minis-

ter Leona Aglukkaq in his place. Also nota-bly absent were Indian Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi, Chinese Pres-ident Xi Jinping, Rus-sian President Vladimir Putin and Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

North Okanagan - Shuswap Conserva-tives will be voting this week to select a Candi-date for the 2015 fed-eral election.

Current Conserva-tive MP Colin Mayes triggered a candidate selection process for the Conservative Elec-toral District Associa-tion (EDA) when he announced in April that after nearly 10 years in office, he would not be

seeking re-election.Four contestants are

now seeking the nomi-nation: Salmon Arm businessperson Mel Arnold; Vernon busi-nessperson Scott An-derson; former Lumby councilor Janet Green and former Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert.

Nomination selec-tion meetings will be held in Salmon Arm Friday October 3, from 4 to 9 p.m. at the Fifth

Avenue Senior’s Activ-ity Centre, and in Ver-non on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 1 to 7 p.m. at Schubert Centre.

Election results will be announced Satur-day evening in Vernon. Both meeting locations will provide an oppor-tunity for party mem-bers to meet the con-testants and hear them speak about their plat-forms before voting.

“With four strong

contestants running a great race and creating a lot of excitement in the riding, it has been busy summer,” said EDA president Linda Hawes. The election re-

sult on Saturday night will end the candidate selection process but will kick off a cam-paign to win the federal election in 2015. ”

Four seek federal Conservative nomination

Derkaz to represent LiberalsCindy Derkaz will be

speaking up for the Lib-erals in the Okanagan-Shuswap riding during the 2015 federal elec-tion.

Derkaz was recently selected as the rid-ing’s Liberal candidate at two party meetings held Sept. 27 in Salmon Arm and Vernon. She is probably most well-known for her former role as president of the Shuswap Community Foundation, for which she helped to raise close

to $7 million to support community projects.

“Many people here in the riding have become increasingly concerned about the direction Canada has been taking under the Harper Con-servative government. I believe that another five years of this government will fundamentally and irreversibly change the Canada we think we live in,” said Derkaz in her nomination speech.

The Salmon Arm native has lived in the

community for 55 years, working in her parents’ shoe stores in Vernon and Salmon Arm and then developing a law practice in Salmon Arm. Since selling the prac-tice, Derkaz has served on the Environmental Appeal Board of BC and the Forest Appeal Com-mission.

Derkaz says federal Liberal policies fit her own world view, as is Justin Trudeau’s leader-ship style – collegial and inclusive.

Rysz to make bid for mayor’s seat in coming election

A Sicamous councillor has decided to

challenge for the top job at the municipal-

ity. Terry Rysz, who has served three years

with the current council, announced he will

be seeking the mayor’s chair.

“I’ve made the decision because one of

my main concerns is continuity going for-

ward. There’s things we have been working

on for three years and are partially done and

I’d like to see them completed.”

Rysz says his experience as both deputy

mayor and chair of the � nance committee

has provided him with the im-

portant background needed to

make a bid for mayor.

“I think it is important to

have spent time on council,”

says the recent retiree, “It’s

a four-year commitment this

time round, so now I’m at a

place where I can give the job

my full attention, if I am elect-

ed.”Nomination packages for the November

municipal election are currently available

at Sicamous City Hall, but a number of the

current members of council remain on the

fence about their intentions.

Coun. Joan Thomson says

she’s still debating whether to

put her name forward again,

while Coun. Don Richardson

is doing the same.

“At this time I’m indeci-

sive. I have mixed feelings, but

I think there are great things

coming up for this community,

so I’m weighing my options,”

Richardson told the News.

Coun. Suzanne Carpenter, who was

elected in a by-election in September 2013

after Greg Kyllo was elected as MLA, is

also undecided.

“I have not committed to run at the mo-

ment, there are a few outstanding issues

that I am looking into personally so I will

not know for a couple of weeks,” she said.

But there’s going to be a pair of familiar

names on the ballot — Coun. Fred Busch,

who has been part of municipal leadership

at the district since 1996 and Coun. Char-

lotte Hutchinson, who has served for four

years, one following a byelection and three

with the current council.

November will mark the end of his sixth

term in of� ce, but Busch says he’s still in-

terested in the job.

1996, that it would be for this long, but it

Eagles win one, drop two versus Kootenay contendersThe Sicamous Ea-

gles learned over the weekend that life on the road can be hard.

On Friday, Sept. 26 the team was in Castle-gar to face off against the Rebels. From the first frame the Kootenay hosts had the Eagles on the defensive, manag-

ing 20 shots on net to Sicamous’ 10. Only one of the Rebels’ attempts made it past Eagles netminder Liam Banks, and not until late in the period following a Si-camous marker deliv-ered by Ben Campbell off Tyson Taylor.

The Rebels added goals in the second peri-od at 15:11 and the five-

minute mark. Seconds later, Eagles rookie Kor-win Shewchuk rippled the Rebels mesh with assists by Riley Jepson and Samuel Subert. Down to the 31-second mark, teammate Devyn Myck tied the game at 3-3 assisted by Tyson Taylor.

Stephen Hawco put Sicamous in the lead

early in the third period, after which the game belonged to the Rebels, who added four more goals for a 7-4 win.

On Saturday, the Eagles were south of the border to battle the Spokane Braves. Once again, the Eagles faced an aggressive opponent in the first frame and, once again, the Eagles

were first to light up the board, with a goal by Mathew Deveau off Na-than Grieve. The Braves found the back of the Eagles’ net with one minute left on the clock. The Braves broke the tie with the sole marker of the second frame, then cranked up their offen-sive in the third period, but were repeatedly de-

nied by goalie Logan Edwards. Meanwhile, Edwards’ teammates Nathan Plessis and Ty-son Taylor each man-aged to find the back of the net, with assists by Deveau and Eric Austin, giving Sicamous the 3-2 win.

On Sunday the Eagles were in Nelson to rake the Leafs. Ples-

sis and Taylor put Si-camous on the board and in the lead in the first period. In second frame, the Leafs were piling up shots on the Eagles’ end, seven of which went into the net. A marker by Shew-chuk in the third period, off Jepson and Darien Head, put the final score at 6-3 for the Leafs.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, though you are usually up for a conversation with someone you don’t know, this week you could be in a more conservative mood. You’ll have future chances to chat.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21You have been on a shopping binge of late, Taurus. If you have unlimited funds, this would not be so problematic. But finances are tight, and you should be more cautious.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you are often an entertaining and fun person to have around. This is probably why you get so many invitations to parties and other social occasions. Enjoy your fanfare.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Surround yourself with children this week, Cancer. They’ll provide the unedited, honest information you desire right now. It can certainly be eye-opening.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Spend some quality time with a romantic partner this week, Leo. He or she can provide more of what you need, such as true affection and companionship, than what’s offered by friends.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you deserve credit at the office. If you’re patient, some measure of recognition will come your way this week. It’s a start to getting what you need.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Few people will accuse you of being uncommunicative, Libra. In fact, you’re usually downright chatty. It’s one of the traits people will admire most in you this week.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, a new person comes into your life and your attraction to this person catches you off guard. It’s okay to flirt, but if you’re already attached to someone, leave it at that.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you’re often the one to take the lead in conversations in your group of friends, but this week someone else takes the lead. You’re content to sit back and simply listen.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, once you have gained enough confidence in a special interest, you may be able to turn it into a career instead of just a hobby. Keep working toward that goal.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18It’s time to tie up some loose ends, Aquarius. Rustle up some energy to take care of all those little things that need to be wrapped up. You’ll feel a weight lift afterward.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, increase your level of activity this week. Exercise can do you a world of good, especially if you’ve felt sluggish of late.
