Council receives facility inventory report

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

The City of Kimber-ley will be doing some pile burning in the Kim-berley Nature Park this week, weather condi-tions permitting.

Fire Chief Al Col-linson says there are 500 cubic metre piles that will be burned, to finish work on one of the UBCM funded fuel treatment programs begun last year.

Collinson says that burning only takes place if the venting index will allow it. Last

week the index indicat-ed good conditions, and it was the same Monday morning.

“We’ll burn on a fair or good venting index. If it’s poor, we’ll do a test burn,” he said. “So far it looks good for this week. We should have it wrapped up by Wednesday.”

Nature Park users are asked to stay clear of the Ponderosa Trail area in the Kimberley Nature Park above Overwaitea Hill off Bur-dett Street until the pile burning is completed.

Up to $4.5 million required to maintain

and repair public buildings in next

five years

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

Kimberley City Council has received a facilities inventory report from Manager of Parks and Recreation Dave Clarke. The report will assist the City with budgeting going forward, and perhaps assist in making decisions about whether to keep some of the buildings.

The City owns 12 buildings that are open to the public. They are the Aquatic Centre, Centennial Hall, Centre 64, City Hall, the Curling Club, the Li-brary, the Civic Centre, Marys-ville Arena, the Gymnastics

Club, the RCMP building, Oughtred Hall and the Confer-ence Centre.

Clarke gave Council a rough estimate on what it will cost to maintain and do needed reno-vations on the 12 buildings over the next ten years. That total is $4 to $4.5 million. That’s a rough estimate, the report says, as, given the age of some of the buildings, there is a con-cern about hazardous materi-als and a Hazardous Materials Survey may be required to per-form any given renovation. Any renovations would require more detailed quotes.

A new multi-sport complex, which Mayor Don McCormick has spoken of as being the ideal solution, would be in the neighbourhood of $20 to $30 million, Clarke estimates.

Here is a quick look at each facility and costs associated.

The Aquatic Centre has $159,000 in repair/replace-

ments coming in the next five years, including $30,000 for solar system repair and $20,000 for new lobby flooring. Those two items are funded in com-ing budgets, the other repairs are in the five-year financial plan, but not funded.

Centennial Centre will need

$128,000 over the next five years, including exterior and interior painting, and replace-ment of 200 chairs.

Centre 64 needs foundation and structural repairs totalling $115,000, plus lighting and roof repairs for another $20,000.

Respectful treatment of

seniors must be a government

priority

Norm macdoNald MLA Columbia River

Revelstoke

One of the biggest is-sues that

has faced British Co-lumbians since the BC Liberals came to power in 2001 has been the treatment of seniors, particularly those who require ei-ther in-home or resi-dential care. It is an issue that has been brought to my office countless times, and it is an issue that has caused many people throughout the area to become active politi-cally as they fight for what they believe is right.

I have said many times, and I will say again, that the way we treat our children and the elderly is a true measure of our soci-ety. And I believe that far too many seniors and children have been failed by this BC Liberal government.

Over the last weeks, I have met with a number of family members who have loved ones in residen-tial care facilities who are desperately con-cerned about the level of care they are re-ceiving. British Co-lumbia, while increas-ing annual spending on healthcare has yet to increase that fund-ing to a level that ac-tually matches the in-creases in fixed costs, which essentially re-sults in cuts to ser-vices to our most vul-nerable.

Ensuring that our seniors can live their lives with dignity and in comfort must be our priority. I know it is for people in this area. This is why, we need to identify short-comings when we find them. Loved ones need to feel that they can speak up on be-half of residents, to ensure they are get-ting the care they de-serve.

Our office is here to help or direct you to where you can access help. You can reach us at 1 866 870 4188 or at n o r m . m a c d o n a l d .mla@leg.bc.ca<mail-to:norm.macdonald.mla@leg.bc.ca>.

You can also con-tact Interior Health’s Patient Care Quality Office (PCQO) at 1 877 442 2001. The PCQO is tasked to provide a clear, consistent, timely and transpar-ent process for pa-tients to register com-plaints about the care they or their loved ones receive. If your concerns are not re-solved to your satis-faction, you can take your issue to the Pa-tient Care Quality Re-view Board for an in-dependent assess-ment.

I will continue to fight for better care for our seniors, and I will continue to make sure that the government is held accountable for its treatment of se-niors in this area. Ulti-mately, underfunding seniors’ care is a BC Liberal decision, a choice that has been consistently opposed by people in this area.

The latest recipient of a $500 donation from Kimberley FOCUS is the Lindsay Park Breakfast Club. Genesta Boroski accepted the cheque on behalf of Lindsay Park from Noweata Schofer and Joan Jobe. FOCUS thanks Kimberley Overwaitea for their contin-ued support of the Thursday meat draw at the Elks Club, where funds are raised. All funds raised by FOCUS go to Kimberley people and organizations.

From page 1City Hall needs

$121,000 to repaint and replace flooring, replace the roof and upgrade lighting.

The Library had a major upgrade in 2011 and therefore should only need interior paint-ing and a washroom up-grade for $30,000.

The 57-year old Civic Centre is the biggest number on the list. The arena needs $1,844,000 in renovations/repairs. Included in that is $535,000 for the north wall and catwalk, and $800,000 for a new slab and boards. A new roof

at $250,000 and two dressing room upgrades at $135,000 are also needed.

Marysville Arena also needs a new slab and boards at $700,000 and a new roof at $200,000. In total $996,000 is needed in the next five years for the Marysville Arena.

The Gymnastics Club building needs $40,000 for venting because of a radon issue, but this is not recommended. Council has discussed selling this building.

The RCMP building needs $90,000 for a new roof and exterior paint-ing. Should Council de-

cided to repair the cells rather than continue to partner with Cran-brook, the cost would be an estimated

$640,000.Oughtred Hall is

currently for sale, so no repairs are scheduled.

Finally, the Confer-

ence Centre will need a $50,000 exterior paint job in the next five years.

For the Bulletin

At first glance, Rent seems to be about a re-

ally cool group of young adults embracing the bohemian lifestyle in the late 80’s in New York. After reading the cast list and seeing that I got the part of Mimi I was thrilled; I was ex-cited to play such an exuberant character with a distinct and cool personality. I thought of all of the killer songs I was going to be sing-ing and how fun it was going to be to perform in a Selkirk production again! Really, a typical first reaction for a mid-dle class, somewhat naive 16 year old high school student!

Then I started re-searching the story and my character; watching the movie and other productions over and over again. As part of our prep, Sven Heyde, our director, had us talk about the struggles the characters were going through. We read liter-ature and songs from artists and authors that are referenced in the song La Vie Boheme and other pieces that

were relevant to that era.

I then realized that although the charac-ters in Rent are cool, they are far from care-free. They were dealing with some of the big-gest social issues of the decade; poverty, drugs, and AIDS. I also real-ized that beyond the laid-back and confi-dent shell of Mimi was a young girl who was troubled in so many ways and was using a happy-go-lucky atti-tude to mask it.

At this point, I thought – wow – how am I going to be able to do justice to this char-acter? How am I going to show the audience how vibrant and confi-dent, but at the same time vulnerable and scared, Mimi is?

After rehearsing for several weeks, I was still struggling with this and then for the first time we performed with the orchestra and I got chills. It’s all about the music for me. I was able to step completely into the role and em-brace the character of Mimi and the powerful theme of the musical. I

am so moved when I’m singing about Mimi’s vulnerabilities (no spoilers :), but I can also feel like I’m on top of the world when Mimi’s on a high (no pun intended :) I may not be able to find par-allel’s in Mimi’s life and mine, but through the music and lyrics, I can truly feel and portray the depths of her char-acter. And let me tell you, it’s a ride!!

I am so excited to have the opportunity to portray Mimi, to work with Mr. Heyde and our crew of talented actors, and to be able to sing along with a wonderful orchestra. I am most excited to have an amazing audience enjoy the end result of the hard work that went into this high school production of Rent!

Rent runs April 6 – 9 at Mckim Theatre, with tickets on sale now at Selkirk School and Snowdrift Café in Kim-berley and Lotus Books in Cranbrook. It is rated PG13 and may not be appropriate for some audiences.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

If the US Congress had not imposed a two-term limit on the presi-

dency in 1947 after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s record four elector-al victories, President Barack Obama would be a safe bet for a third term next November. He inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression, and now the United States has the healthiest economy of all the major powers, with unem-ployment back down to 5.5 per-cent.

But Obama can’t run for president again, so the time has come for the pundits to start delivering their assess-ments on the success or failure of his policies. First up is Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspon-dent for The Atlantic maga-zine, with a lengthy article called “The Obama Doctrine” on the man’s conduct of Amer-ican foreign policy over the past seven and a half years.

As you would expect when discussing a man whose basic rule is “Don’t do stu-pid shit”, Gold-berg’s piece is mostly an exam-ination of what Obama didn’t do, not what he did. He didn’t go to war with the Assad regime in Syria. He didn’t get into a new Cold War with Russia over Ukraine. He didn’t bomb Iran, instead making a political deal to block its nuclear weapons ambitions. He didn’t attack North Korea even when it did test nuclear weapons.

None of these foreign policy choices would be remarkable if we were talking about Japan or Canada or Germany. Even in former imperial powers like Britain and France, where the interventionist reflex is still alive and kicking, Obama’s choices would not be contro-versial.

But in the Washington for-eign policy establishment, where every conflict on the

planet tends to be redefined as an American problem and al-most unlimited military force is available to attack the prob-lem, Obama’s approach was

heretical.Democrats

were just as opposed to his heresy as Re-publicans. In-deed, despite the wreckage of George W.

Bush’s invasions of Afghani-stan and Iraq that Obama’s ad-ministration inherited when it took office in early 2009, his own first secretary of state, Hil-lary Clinton, was a classic in-terventionist.

After she left office in 2013, Clinton told Goldberg that “the failure to build up a credi-ble fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad ... left a big vacuum, which the jhadists have now filled.” But Hillary Clinton actually got her way on Syria.

The real failure of American policy on Syria in 2011 was the tolerance extended to Turkish, Qatari and Saudi Arabian ship-ments of arms and money that were intended to subvert the

faltering non-violent revolu-tion and replace it with an armed revolt whose goal was a Sunni Islamic state, not a secu-lar democracy.

Obama and Clinton must share the blame for the fact that the United States became part of this operation in early 2012, providing arms that it sourced from Libya to avoid Congressional oversight. By then the non-violent protests had been largely suppressed and Syria was stumbling into a civil war — which subsequent-ly killed 300,000 people and turned half the country’s pop-ulation into refugees.

Most Syrians would now agree that it would have been better to accept the failure of the non-violent movement and the continued rule of the execrable Assad regime than to see their country virtually de-stroyed. I suspect that Obama sees Clinton’s Syrian policy, in hindsight, as the greatest mis-take of his time in office — but he did partially redeem him-self by refusing to bomb Syria during the “poison gas” epi-sode of 2014.

Clinton also told Goldberg in 2014 that “great nations need organising principles,

and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organising principle.” Nobody said it was, but it is a good guide when deciding on actual policies, and Obama has been pretty consistent in observing it even with regard to the Middle East.

His fundamental insight — and his greatest break with the orthodoxy of the American for-eign policy establishment — has been to understand that very little that happens or could happen in the Middle East is a threat to America’s vital interests. Even Israel’s well-being is only a sentimen-tal consideration for the Unit-ed States, not a strategic one, although like all American pol-iticians he is obliged to pre-tend otherwise.

Only if the Islamist extrem-ists of the Nusra Front and Is-lamic State were to overrun all of Syria would Israel be in any danger, and the Russian mil-itary intervention in support of Assad’s regime since last Sep-tember has largely eliminated that possibility. So Obama has been free to concentrate on the issues that he thinks are really important, and that is where he has made real progress.

His foreign policy has been minimalist only with regard to the traditional “strategic” con-cerns inherited from the Cold War and America’s long, deep and mostly futile engagement with the Middle East. In his “pivot” to Asia, in reestablish-ing ties with Cuba, above all on the issue of climate change (which he rightly sees as the crucial issue for the next gen-eration and beyond), he has been an activist in his foreign policy — and a largely success-ful one.

Neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump, the two main contenders for the succession, will be a patch on him.

It is becoming more difficult all the time for Canadian families to put healthy and satisfying meals on the

table. We’ve experienced rising food costs over the past year and this is forecasted to continue throughout 2016. According to the Guelph Food Institute the highest price in-creases will be fruit, vegetables and meat. Knowing this how do you maximize your food dollars?

Grocery stores want shoppers to buy products on impulse and therefore spend more. Plan ahead by checking prices and making a grocery list in order to avoid spend-ing money unnecessarily. It is also a great idea to prepare larger meals, this way you can buy in bulk to save money and then freeze left-

overs for lunches and dinners.To cut costs and boost your nutrition in-

take remember to use fruits and vegetables that are in season. Try to buy in bulk when prices are low and freeze or preserve to have on hand year round. At certain times of the year frozen or canned fruits and vegetables may be cheaper than their fresh counterparts. Freezing is an especially good method for preserving nutritional value and remember to choose canned products with little or no added salt and sugar. Cook with root vegeta-bles – such as turnips, parsnips, potatoes and carrots – by boiling, baking or microwaving.

Using protein alternatives at least two to three times per week is also a great idea as meat is often the most expensive part of a meal. Pulses are a great source of nutrients

and fibre and they provide good quality pro-tein to keep you full for longer. You can either soak and cook dry beans, which is the cheap-est option, or buy canned beans if time and convenience are a factor. If you are using meat, buy tougher pieces such as a chuck roast and use in roasts or stews.

Finally, use the Interior Health Store It Guide to prevent food wastage by helping your produce stay fresh longer. Just search for ‘Store it’ on the Interior Health website and you will find some great information and a helpful chart to post on your fridge — plus you will find out why it’s good for onions to wear pantyhose!

As the B.C. government spends millions on an international brand campaign with the re-

cycled slogan “Super, Natural B.C.,” anoth-er brand identity has spread across Cana-da.

This one’s unintentional. It hit a new peak last week with the arrival of two young men from Saskatchewan, who were given one-way tickets to Vancouver and Victoria by typically burdened social ser-vices ministry staff in North Battleford.

Sorting through the bliz-zard of soothing sound bites and sympathetic TV clips, a clearer picture emerges.

In his initial interview with the Saska-toon Star-Phoenix, Charles Neil-Curly, at 23 the elder of the two, said he decided to head west when shelter staff told him his time had run out and he asked for bus tickets to B.C.

“When they asked if I had a place to go, I just said, ‘yeah’,” Neil-Curly said. “I was going to the next homeless shelter anyway.”

Transients and panhandlers aren’t the only ones who say whatever they figure will get them through another day. Politicians do it too.

Admitting she knew little about the arriv-als, Premier Christy Clark suggested that both were mentally ill and deserve every support the province can give them.

B.C. housing czar Rich Coleman has also

demonstrated factual flexibility as he pre-sides over the creation of his latest sin-gle-room-occupancy drug ghetto in a resi-dential neighbourhood in Victoria.

After quietly proposing a closed-down nursing home called Mount Edwards Court as a temporary solution to the filthy “tent city” that sprang up on provincial property

last fall, Coleman abruptly announced from his Langley office Feb. 5 that the building had been bought and partly renovated for $4 million. It would house 38 people for up to a year.

I asked him if the pur-chase meant the conversion

of Mount Edwards into permanent “low-bar-rier” housing for 100 people was a “done deal,” as area residents believe. “They’re wrong,” Coleman indignantly replied, and there would be community consultation over the next year.

In subsequent comments to reporters, he said the province doesn’t really need city zoning, but will apply for it anyway. (That won’t be a problem with Victoria’s far-left city council, which is keen to add a super-vised injection site too.)

On Feb. 24, Coleman was asked if he is concerned that the 88 housing units at two locations would fill up and other transients would arrive to take their place. By that time the tent squat appeared to have about 100 people in residence, with the usual overdos-

es, violence and prostitution.Coleman assured us it hasn’t happened in

Abbotsford or Maple Ridge, where tent camps have finally been cleaned up after shelters and housing were provided.

The next day, he was asked if transitional accommodations would be sufficient to end the camp.

“They’re not actually all that transition-al,” Coleman replied. “We’ll take Mount Ed-wards through a zoning process. We’ve got about 100 beds there. We’ve bought the building so it’s hardly transitional. We’ve permanently done that.”

Fast forward to March 11. The 38 Mount Edwards spaces are full, another 40 rooms and camping spaces at a former youth custo-dy centre are almost full, and the province applies for a court order to clear the Victoria camp. 

A representative of the advocacy group Together Against Poverty Society  goes on local radio to pledge legal support for the campers. How many are there now? At least 100, he says.

Meanwhile in Maple Ridge, where the “homeless” problem is all fixed, Coleman has just extended temporary shelter funding and paid $5.5 million for a 61-room motel to fix it some more.

River Beattie (#25) found plenty of success against Nick Schneider (rear) and the Medicine Hat Tigers this past weekend, tallying three goals and one assist in two games. The WHL sophomore will looking to keep rolling Tuesday as the Kootenay Ice host the Edmonton Oil Kings.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Offense has not been the easiest thing to come by for the Koote-nay Ice to this point in the 2015-16 Western Hockey League cam-paign, averaging only 2.12 goals per game, having scored 146 times through 69 contests.

Splitting a home-and-home weekend with the Medicine Hat Tigers, the Ice managed to tally seven times across the two outings for an average of 3.5 goals per game, a sub-stantial uptick in rela-tion to their seasonal output so far.

Helping spark the outburst was sophomore forward River Beattie, who scored under every possible circumstance — tallying on the power play and while short-handed Friday, before opening the scoring at even strength Saturday.

“I was moving my feet a little, bit better, but at the end of the day, I was getting good bounc-es and able to capital-ize,” Beattie said of his scoring efforts this past weekend.

“It feels good and we need [scoring] from other guys with [Matt] Alfaro being injured. We need more guys chip-ping in offensively.”

Thanks to his four-point weekend, Beattie — an 18-year-old native of Sherwood Park, Alta. — has posted career highs across the board in his sophomore sea-son with the Ice. With eight goals, five assists and 13 points to his credit through 56 games, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound winger has easily eclipsed the totals he put forth in his 63-game rookie season (5-4-9).

“He is skating, it’s amazing how different the game can be when you want to move your feet,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Koo-tenay Ice.

“I don’t know if maybe the energy re-serves are empty — we’ve played a lot of hockey, we’re short a lot of bodies and we’ve got a young group — so fa-tigue’s kicking in a little and guys aren’t skating as well. But if you can find a way to move your legs, you’ll have success.”

Friday, Beattie regis-

tered his sixth goal of the campaign with a short-handed effort in Medi-cine Hat. Jumping off a faceoff, the gritty forward skated in alone after catching the Tigers off guard before beating goaltender Nick Schnei-der. On his power-play effort, Beattie covered much of the ice surface, picking his way through four Tigers before beat-ing Schneider for his sev-enth goal of the season.

Saturday, Beattie won a puck battle in the cor-ner before cutting to the net and sneaking a shot under Schneider’s arm.

With Alfaro — the

team’s second-leading scorer — still on the shelf due to an upper-body in-jury, Beattie’s increased contributions remain critical as the Ice play out the final stretch of the regular season.

While the Ice will miss out on the WHL post-season for the first time in 18 years, there remains motivation with three games left on the slate.

With the Tigers and Edmonton Oil Kings embroiled in a tight race for the Eastern Confer-ence’s final wildcard playoff position, the Ice have been afforded and

opportunity to factor into the equation.

“We want to play spoiler, obviously,” Beat-tie said. “We want to go as hard as we can. We have to finish this sea-son off and continue to build into next season. We’re not going to stop.

“The Oil Kings are going to come in hot. They’re going to give it everything they have. They’re going to fight. They’re in a bit of a dog

fight right now and they know what they have to do. We’ll just try to do what we can to upset that.”

With a 4-3 regulation victory Saturday, the Ice did what they could to cool the Tigers (29-36-3-2, 63 points), who are trying desperately to catch the Oil Kings (29-33-6-1, 65).

The Oil Kings hold one game in hand and it comes Tuesday when

they pay a visit to West-ern Financial Place in Cranbrook.

After Tuesday’s date with Edmonton, the Ice finish out the 2015-16 WHL regular season in a home-and-home affair with the Calgary Hitmen (39-26-2-2). The Hit-men visit Cranbrook Friday (7 p.m.) before playing host at the Sco-tiabank Saddledome Sunday (1 p.m.).

Dynamiters host Nitehawks in conference championship rematchTaylor rocc a

The Kimberley Dyna-miters swept through the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in the second round of the KIJHL post-sea-son, somewhat unex-pectedly with many pre-dicting a lengthy six- or seven-game battle. While the four-game se-ries victory didn’t come

easily with three contests requiring overtime, the quick dispatch provided the Eddie Mountain Di-vision champs with some much-needed rest.

“The guys can be ex-tremely proud of what we’ve accomplished so far,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Dyna-miters. “Now we’ve got

more to do.”That begins Tuesday

night (7 p.m.), as the Dy-namiters welcome the Neil Murdoch Divi-sion-champion Beaver Valley Nitehawks to the Kimberley Civic Centre for Game 1 of the best-of-seven Kootenay Con-ference championship.

“It’s huge going into the conference title se-ries with big rest,” said Nitros alternate captain Jared Marchi. “It’s huge for the guys that have bumps or bruises or any-one that’s tired. It’s really important to get the rest now that we need to be energized for [the con-ference final].”

The Dynamiters en-joyed five full days off after completing a sweep of the Thunder Cats on March 9.

For the Nitehawks, their Neil Murdoch Divi-sion final stretched one game and two days fur-ther, as they defeated the

Grand Forks Border Bru-ins by a 4-0 margin in Game 5 of their best-of-seven series March 11.

Two days might not seem like a lot, but in the realm of playoff hockey, it can be all the difference.

“It’s super important just because of the inju-ries we have,” said Dyna-miters goaltender Tyson Brouwer. “It’s really im-portant we get as much rest as we can. It’s going to be a lengthy playoff run, I’m imagining.

“We can’t get satis-fied, you can’t sit around and wait for your next opponent and think be-cause you swept you’re going to walk into the

next series.“Beaver Valley is a

good team… You’ve got to keep level-headed. Even though we won last year, it’s harder this year than it was last year. We have to keep our heads on straight and focus on the prize.”

Playoff time is an all-out war at any level of hockey and the KIJHL is no exception.

While injury disclo-sure comes at a mini-mum there’s plenty that can be observed.

Keenan Haase has missed two games to date with what appears to be an upper-body in-jury, though was able to skate in his team’s Game 4 victory over Creston.

Captain Jason Rich-ter looks sore, but with what Bancks’ character-ized as “the heart of an Olympian,” there is no holding the peppy for-ward out of the lineup.

Tanner Wit missed

Game 4 in Creston due to illness and Austyn Moser missed time with an undisclosed injury during the first-round victory over Fernie.

On top of it all, James Rota is sporting a cast on his forearm/wrist, so it

seems unlikely he will be available anytime soon.

The Nitros will need Haase and Richter, in particular, to be at as full strength as is possible if they’re to defeat a strong Nitehawks squad for the second consecutive sea-son in the conference championship.

There’s no shortage of recent history be-tween the two well-

coached squads. During the 2015

KIJHL post-season, the rivals met in the confer-ence finale, with the Dy-namiters booking a tick-et to the KIJHL champi-onship in five games.

During the 2015-16 regular season, the Ni-tros maintained an edge over the Nitehawks, claiming two victories in two games, though one required overtime.

What will transpire in 2016 remains to be seen, but there’s no question the Nitehawks should pose the Dynamiters toughest test to date.

Game 2 of the Koote-nay Conference final is set for Wednesday (7 p.m.) at the Kimberley Civic Centre. From there, the series shifts to Fruit-vale for Games 3 and 4, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, respectively.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) After recent events, you’ll em-brace the unexpected, as long as it doesn’t create too much of a hassle. You’ll have a choice to make that probably will affect your day-to-day life. As you discuss the possibilities, your perspective changes. Tonight: Happily relax at home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be somewhat skepti-cal about a money matter, to the point that you might be on the verge of overthinking it. You’ll gain an insight about a friend that might jolt you. Still, there will be a tendency to want to go to extremes in a specific area of your life. Tonight: Make it early. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Know that you can deal with what heads your way, even if you’d prefer not to. Many op-portunities could emerge out of these various situations. You might have to juggle your per-sonal life and your professional life. Remain confident. Tonight: On top of your game.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Situations change quickly, and you could be somewhat re-served as a result. You might feel as if you must strap on your seat belt with today’s roller coaster ride. Extremes seem natural un-der the circumstances. You see different sides of your friends. Tonight: Feeling up to snuff. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Use the daylight hours to the max, despite a sense of chaos. You seem to be able to sail through any problem with ease, though there might be a ten-dency to go to extremes when it comes to spending. A little self-discipline goes a long way. Tonight: Call it an early night. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Despite all the pressure around you today, you will land like a cat, on all fours. You seem to make the right choices, despite having to deal with a boss who is putting pressure on you to see how much you can handle. You’ll show what you’re made of. Tonight: Meet up with friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You understand the art of de-

tachment more than many oth-er signs do. You might need to pull away from some emotional drama in order to see the situa-tion and the players more clear-ly. Follow your sixth sense; it will help you make the right choices. Tonight: Others count on you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might choose to dedicate some quality time to a special individual. You might be taken aback by what you hear, but try to remain confident. You will manifest a long-term goal or desire if you stay centered at this moment. Tonight: Understand others’ reactions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might need to turn a situ-ation around. It seems obvious that you will need the help of a partner, associate or loved one. It will be hard to let go of the reins, but it probably is the best solution. Delegate some of the responsibility. Tonight: A loved one tries to draw you in. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Defer to others, even if the topic is your forte. Not until they have to handle what you do will you

be appreciated for the job you do. Relax and let go of the role of authority. Others seem to show up from out of the blue with nuggets of good news. Tonight: Sort through invitations. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You appear to be in a period where you simply can’t hold yourself back. Lighten up and make the most out of the mo-ment, yet still remain sensitive to others. You might need to be a little less sociable at work. To-night: Recognize when you need to call it a night. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Honor a family member’s needs. You initially might be uncom-fortable with what has been suggested, but you’ll learn to run with the moment. You also could feel pressured by a loved one or a partner to be more positive. Tonight: Do not push someone else too far. BORN TODAY U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933), musician Mike Love (1941), singer/songwriter Bret Michaels (1963)

Dear Annie: My oldest and youngest sisters are 10 years apart. They used to be good friends, but in the past three years, something apparently happened and now they can’t stand to be in the same room together. At family events, the tension is awful. They can’t talk to one another without condescension and sarcasm. My parents and I are caught in the middle. Each sister comes to me to complain about the other. I have tried to get them to talk it out or call a truce for the sake of the family, but it continues to get worse. My oldest sister will invite everyone for dinner except my youngest sister. Then my youngest sister complains to our mother. Mom is 86 years old and worries constantly about her daughters. My brother wanted to move back home to help with my parents, but he changed his mind because he didn’t want to deal with the bad vibes coming from our other two sisters. No other family members will talk to them about this, because they don’t want to hurt their feelings. I am so sick of this family feud. Is there anything we can do with these selfish adults? -- The Middle Sister Dear Middle Sister: Does anyone know the original cause of this animosity? Sometimes, a minor problem can become a major rift because it isn’t dealt with at the time, so it festers. Could you, your mother, your clergyperson or a professional mediator get the two of them in a room together to discuss it? One common problem with estranged siblings is that they spend years unable to enjoy each other’s company, only to regret it when it’s too late to fix. You might remind your sisters that they could have less time to repair this than they think. We hope one of them can be the bigger person and make the first move. Dear Annie: A while back, I read with interest a letter from “Jungle Jim in Indiana,” regarding the things men should know if their wives become incapable of doing common household tasks. What is good for one is good for the other. Please print my list of things a woman should know if her husband were no longer around, or incapable of doing these things. -- Dover, Pennsylvania Dear Dover: Thanks. Here it is: 1. Know how to check the fluids in the car (oil, power steering, brake, windshield washer). Also, know how to check the air pressure in the tires and properly wax the car. Or know where to find a reputable mechanic and car wash. 2. Know where the main water shutoff is located in the home in case a pipe bursts. 3. Know where important papers are kept (car titles, insurance papers, deeds, IRA and CD certificates, bonds), as well as retirement information and medical records. 4. Know what to do if the pilot light goes out on the gas stove and who to call if there is a gas leak. 5. Know how to replace the batteries in the smoke detectors/radon detectors in the home and do it every six months. 6. Know where the fuse box is and how to change a fuse. 7. Know how to fix a toilet that has stopped working properly. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixty-two percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

The pending return of min-ing to Barkerville and an uptick of demand for iron ore in Asia are signs that the worldwide commodity slump may be coming to an end, says B.C. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett.

In an interview after last week’s Prospectors and Devel-opers Association of Canada convention in Toronto, Bennett said construction and steel-

making in China are key indi-cators of demand for metallur-gical coal from Kootenay and South Peace mines, which have cut production due to poor in-ternational demand and low prices.

“I went there expecting the same as last year, with every-one being pessimistic, and in-stead I actually thought there was a fair bit of optimism, par-ticularly for B.C.,” he said.

Bennett met with represen-tatives of Barkerville Gold

Mines Ltd., which plans to build an underground mine the historic region of the Cari-boo gold rush of the 1860s. The company has reorganized, paid its debt and raised enough money to get the project into production this year, he said.

Barkerville Gold has been accumulating properties in the Cariboo since 1994. Its plan is to develop three sites, starting with the Bonanza Ledge mine at Barkerville Mountain, two kilometres northwest of the

Brucejack, an underground gold mine north-west of Smith-ers that was permitted last year, is also moving ahead.

“He’s got about 400 people working there now and he’s going to have 500 as the snow goes down,” Bennett said. “That’s as many people as are working at Site C. It’s happen-ing out of sight, out of mind so nobody knows about it.”

c anadian PressSICAMOUS, B.C. - An avalanche has taken the

life of another snowmobiler in British Columbia’s Interior, the region’s second such incident within the past week.

Rescue crews recovered the body of a man trapped in a snow slide near Crowfoot Mountain, about 90 kilometres northeast of Kamloops.

A spokeswoman for the coroners’ service says the man was part of a group of three snowmobil-ers.

Shuswap Search and Rescue manager John Schut says three avalanche technicians were de-ployed to the site after crews were notified around 11:45 Sunday morning.

No one else was injured in the slide.Last Tuesday, the body of a 34-year-old man

was found in an avalanche zone near Sicamous, B.C., after crews picked up a signal from his per-sonal-location device.

He had left two days earlier on a solo back-country trip and was known to go sledding for multiple days at a time.

“I would caution people that avalanche condi-tions are quite dangerous around here right now,” Schut says. “People need to be wary of that.”
