A group dedicated to improv-ing the health of Kootenay peo-ple is pulling back the stigma attached to mental health in a free lecture in Trail Thursday.

Bridging the Gap: Healthy Minds, Healthy Communities has invited guest speaker Donna Harker to share her reflections on her personal experience with depression and anxiety while try-ing to stay productive at work and Dr. Jehannine Austin, a lead-er in the genetics of psychiatric

disorders.“The idea is by coming togeth-

er to learn about things relevant to all of our health in a common venue, we hope to learn about the medical side of the issues but also to open a dialogue about the underlining social issues involved in many chronic illness-es,” explained Jaime Frederick, Kootenay Boundary Division of Family Practice's continuing medical education coordinator.

“We feel that many people are not able to get the help that they need due to a complex inter-

play of social barriers and various stigmas against mental health and so by putting an event like this together we hope to increase our understanding of mental ill-

ness as a community and for the community as a whole.”

The Bridging the Gap com-mittee is working towards broad-ening the community's perspec-tive on mental health.

The group is attempting to educate the public on their per-spective, which is a healthy mind is essential to one’s overall men-tal and social well being.

“Mental health isn't some-thing you suffer from, mental health is actually a good thing,” said Fredrick. “We all slip out of healthy states occasionally and

when we do it impacts how we see ourselves, how we interact with others and it affects our ability to contribute to our com-munities.

“We see it as a community issue, something that ideally people will want to learn more about.”

This is the second free edu-cational event Bridging the Gap has hosted, the first being a lecture from Winlaw resident Warren MacDonald's Challenge of Change.

A group of business owners in downtown Trail are passionate about sprucing up their street to reclaim it as a shopping destina-tion.

Merchants along Spokane Street such as the Gift Shop, Women’s Journey to Fitness, and Ye Olde Flower Shoppe have spruced up their exteriors with fresh paint, planters full of colourful flowers, clean sidewalks and re-tiled front entrances.

However, one very large obstacle stands in the way.

A hindrance to improving the street’s image is the untidy appear-ance of the empty buildings, said business owners Sabine Mann and Maureen Dilling of Women’s Journey to Fitness. In particular, the former Liquidation World, a building that spans half the block and is right across the street from their newly renovated gym.

“I can tell you that our members do say the building is a disgrace and really takes away from what we are all trying to do in making our businesses look really good,” said Mann.

“I even offered to clean it and pretty it up if that’s what it will take,” she said, adding, “It just needs to be done.”

Unless the building poses a threat to public safety, such as a loose awning, the city cannot take action against the owner.

“Responsibility for property maintenance and upkeep falls to the property owner,” confirmed Michelle McIsaac, Trail’s corporate administrator.

“While the city encourages all property owners to take an active interest in beautifying and keep-ing their storefronts tidy, we can’t order them or require them to do so.”

McIsaac acknowledged down-town properties making efforts to improve their storefronts, and said, “perhaps that attitude will catch on with others.”

Although Mann is waiting for a response from the building owner who is out of the country, she remains hopeful that improve-ments will soon happen to the building.

She suggested the possibility of mirroring Kaslo’s vacant down-town buildings, which have histor-ical town pictures blown up and posted in the windows to create visual appeal.

“Another idea is to bring the Trail Market indoors and into this building instead of the Cominco Arena,”said Mann.

The bidding: North with 16 points and a balanced hand opens one notrump.

When one's part-ner has opened one notrump, the respond-er places his hand in one of four ranges. With zero to seven high card points, the responder is looking for a safe place to play at the lowest possible level. Eight to nine is the invitational to game range. Ten to 15 is the game range and 16 plus is the slam range.

South has enough points for game and has

two four card majors so he uses Stayman. South bids two clubs and West doubles for a club lead. This may seem like a fine double but West has no meat to the suit after the ace and king are gone. You

can decide how good a lead direct double this was after seeing the result at the end of this column.

North redoubles telling partner they are playing in two clubs redoubled.

The Lead: West hardly wants to help declarer with his task-ing of drawing trump so he does not lead trump. He makes the safe lead of top of touching honours in diamonds. West leads the queen of diamonds.

The play: Declarer wins the ace and plays the queen of trump. West wins and plays the ten of diamonds. He started with the top of the sequence and continued with the bottom of the sequence so partner knows where the jack is. So does declarer. The person who makes a lead directive double should also have out-side entries. Declarer will not be surprised that West has most of the outstanding points.

Declarer wins the king and plays another

trump. East shows out. West wins the ace of clubs and cashes the jack of diamonds and exits a spade. There is no sense helping declarer with trans-portation in hearts. Declarer wins the king of spades and draws the rest of the trump, takes the win-ning heart finesse and claims.

The Result: South loses no spades, no hearts, one diamond and two clubs mak-

ing four clubs. He gets 4x40 + 100 (for insult) + 300 (for game) + 200 x 2 (redoubled over-tricks) for a grand total of 960.

This is clearly bet-ter than what North and South can make undoubled with the same hands. The lead direct double should tell partner of a good lead and should have enough substance to it as well to beat a two club redoubled con-tract.

TRAIL – The BC SPCA’s Trail regional branch is hoping the public can help Hank.

A lovable German shepherd mix, Hank has skin issues and ear problems that need treat-ment.

A special diet for his skin issues is likely required, as well as medication and treatment for his ears, in order to get him to a comfortable state.

“We’d love to be able to do some allergy tests and other tests to get a better idea of what Hank’s problems are,” says SPCA Trail Regional branch manager Danielle Jackman. “All medications, tests and food could cost between $300 to more than $1,000.”

Hank still needs a loving home and an understanding owner, but before that can hap-pen, it is critical he get the treatment he needs for his skin and ears.

Jackman notes his problems

could be chronic and require ongoing care, but tests are needed to determine whether that is the case.

If you can help Hank and other animals like him in need

at the Trail Regional Branch, please call 250-368-5910, drop by the branch at 7700 Highway 3B in Trail, or go to http://www.spca.bc.ca/trail and click on the ‘donate’ button.

The south end of downtown along Spokane Street used to be lively place and a big attraction for people from neighbouring communities to visit Trail and shop, reminisced octogenarian John Carter.

Carter, 40-year owner of a well known fabric and notions store, Carter’s Sewing Centre, began his business in a Spokane Street location that was originally an Eaton’s retail outlet but converted to

a mini-mall in the 80’s. Most recently, the building was the site of Liquidation World, a discount retail outlet that closed its doors in 2010.

He said operating a downtown busi-ness was always a challenge, but the biggest problem back then was a lack of parking for his customers.

“People who worked downtown would plug the meters in front of my store and leave no place for my custom-ers to park,” said Carter. “That was a struggle, but I was good at what I did and could keep things going,” he said. “And I enjoyed it, especially singing on

the radio,” he chuckled.Today, parking isn’t the issue, rather

the vacant building and its less than stellar exterior is frustrating for Jean Boyczuk, 30-year proprietor of the Gift Shop.

“This was one of the busiest streets years ago, and busy all the time,” she said. “Everyone left here is really trying but it feels like we don’t have anyone on board to help us,” explained Boyczuk. “The big empty building doesn’t attract anyone down here especially when it isn’t looked after. “I don’t care what they do with it, just do something.”

Ingrid Mayer has witnessed enough accidents outside her Area A property and will move speed signs herself if she's asked to.

The woman, who lives just outside of Fruitvale, is garnering support for her cause to reduce the speed of drivers on a stretch of Highway 3B, about two kilometres north of the village.

She's circulating a petition and asking local politicians to get behind her cam-paign, recently gain-ing a letter of support from Fruitvale coun-cil, and is set to meet with the Ministry of Transportation and I n f r a s t r u c t u r e ' s Darrell Gunn Thursday.

“The traffic is plentiful out there and nobody is slow-ing down,” she told Fruitvale council on Sept. 9. “Just to walk along that area is nerve racking.”

Leaving Fruitvale, drivers roll past a cautionary sign that suggests to slow to 60 kilometres before travelling through a blind curve. But before they make their way through that corner, a speed up to 90 km sign can be seen and accel-eration begins, she said. Unfortunately, drivers are speeding up as they pass Old Salmo Road, where school kids are picked up and dropped off, and several homes fol-low.

Beyond exces-sive speeding, Mayer said there is plenty of

wildlife that roam the nearby marshy fields and Beaver Creek and a school bus stop lacks an identifying sign.

“The catalyst for me was when a moose was killed,” she said Friday. “Since then there has been two deer run down and a bear further up the road.”

The unreported incidents also add to the list and as a result Mayer has decided “enough is enough” and has stepped out for the cause on behalf of her neighbours.

She would like to see the 90 km sign moved out further northbound, past the last blind corner, and would like to see southbound traffic slowing to 60 km, at least a half a km ear-lier then where a slow to 70 km sign current-ly is located.

The Trail and Greater District RCMP were out monitoring the area recently doing spot checks as a result of concerns raised, according to RCMP Sgt. Rob Hawton.

“What we found was there was not a signifi-cant issue with exces-sive speeds over the posted limit in the 70 km per hour zone, and few were caught that warranted a ticket,” he said. “Those incidents were in the area where the limit transitioned from 90 to 70.”

For the record, he said there have been three reported col-lisions there since March to August with the most recent being on July 29, the moose incident.

Beyond a more controlled speed zone, Mayer would like to see larger wildlife signs, a school bus stop sign and an increase in police presence.

Almost 3,000 homes in the Trail area were left in the dark Monday night.

Shortly after 7 p.m. a lightning storm passing through the area caused power outages in two separate events, confirmed Grace Pickell, FortisBC communications advisor.

Damage to a portion of a transmis-sion line just outside the Warfield substation caused a loss of power to almost 2,000 Trail residences, said Pickell.

An additional 1,000 homes were affected by a lightning arrestor fail-ure on a distribution line in the Bay Avenue area.

“Lightning arrestors are in place to dissipate a surge of energy that accompanies a lightning strike,” she explained. “When the arrestor fails, it

has done its job and is helping to keep our electrical grid safe.”

Once crews were dispatched to the sites, approximately 2,000 customers had power restored within the hour, with the majority of remaining cus-tomers having power restored an hour later, added Pickell.

The power outage did not affect homes in Rossland, Warfield, Montrose or Fruitvale.

Despite the ongoing lockout at FortisBC, the company was granted an Essential Services Order by the B.C. Labour Relations Board to maintain public safety and access to reliable electrical service.

The lockout has affected Fortis employees in generation, transmis-sion, and distribution operations including power line technicians, electricians, and power systems dis-patchers.

Lightning blamed for blackout

T h e r o s s l a n d n e w sThe majority of the tab for the

The company will be kicking in $47,962 of the $48,500 allotted to a con-sultant chosen to head up the project to take the museum into the future.

Teck has also provided the funding for the initial planning work and facilitation, with the project being administered by the municipality.

“The Rossland Museum is important to our community identity, and it’s a valuable link to the area’s tourism mix,” said Mayor Greg Granstrom.

The City of Rossland is funding the remainder of the project.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s consultation on liquor reform has begun with a debate about allowing alcoholic beverage sales in gro-cery stores.

“Washington state is the model I favour,” a Lower Mainland resi-dent wrote Monday on the B.C. govern-ment’s new consulta-tion website. “No gov-ernment involvement

in retailing – period. Just enforce the legal drinking age.”

The B.C. govern-ment’s point man on liquor reform, Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap, post-ed his own com-ments on the subject Monday. Yap warned that while opening up alcohol sales is a popular suggestion, “it certainly isn’t as straightforward as it may seem.”

Yap noted that beer,

wine and spirits are already sold in rural grocery stores that are licensed because their service area isn’t big enough to warrant a government retail store. In urban areas, he questioned wheth-er alcoholic beverages should be sold from convenience stores and gas stations, lar-ger grocery stores, or big-box retailers.

“When this topic comes up in my meet-ings with health, safety and law-and-order advocates, the question will surely become that already we see 30 per cent of late-night attendees at a typical B.C. emer-gency department report alcohol con-sumption in the six hours prior to their injury or illness,” Yap said. “If we make it more available for the sake of convenience, will we see rates like this rise?”

The government is inviting public com-ments until Oct. 31 at the website, www.gov.bc.ca/liquorpolicy-

review. The site also lists submissions from health care, police and alcohol industry rep-resentatives.

The current review continues a remake of B.C. liquor policy that began in 2002, when cold beer and wine stores were allowed to sell spirits.

When the consul-tation was launched in August, Yap said licenses for serving craft beer or local wine at farmers’ markets would be considered.

Pubs also want to allow under-aged chil-dren in with their par-ents for lunch, putting them on a level play-ing field with licensed restaurants.

T h e c A N A D I A N P r e S SGWAII HAANAS, B.C. - Parks

Canada staff are trying to take back two remote north-ern islands in the Haida Gwaii archipelago from a festering sea of rats, dropping poison pellets from a helicopter for the first time in Canada.

The aerial drop is the second phase of project Night Birds Returning, which experts hope will eradicate the rats intro-duced by ships almost a century ago and that now number in the hundreds of thousands on Murchison and Faraday islands.

Laurie Wein, with Parks Canada in Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve, says one island in particular was once

home to the largest colony of ancient murrelet in the world, with more than 200,000 breed-ing pairs.

There are now just 14,000 breeding pairs of the endan-gered seabirds.

Wein says the rats have no natural predators on the islands, and eat seabird eggs, chicks and even adult birds.

The aerial drop is part of a five-year, $2.5 million program to restore the natural habitat on four of the Haida Gwaii islands.

If it’s successful, the eradi-cation program will expand to other islands in the archipelago off the northern coast of British Columbia.

Parksville

Worker gets her wages backP A r k S v I l l e Q u A l I c u m N e w S

An arbitrator has ruled that a Parksville nurse was unjustly disciplined by her employer for speaking out on the state of seniors’ care at a public meet-ing last year.

According to a news release from the Hospital Employees’ Union, the operators of Stanford Place suspended Tina Irvine for six shifts without pay after she spoke out at a January, 2012 public forum co-sponsored by the HEU and the Oceanside Coalition for Strong Communities.

Attempts by The News to get comment from Stanford Place officials on the ruling

were unsuccessful.Irvine’s observations at the

forum about the impact of wage cuts on staff morale and resident care were reported in a local newspaper, and she was suspended from work shortly afterward.

At the time, Irvine served as secretary-treasurer for the HEU local at Stanford Place where she is employed as a licensed practical nurse.

HEU secretary-business manager Bonnie Pearson said that Irvine’s suspension was a completely outrageous attempt to intimidate local union activ-ists from speaking out.

“Despite employer intimida-

tion, our members will con-tinue to speak out on behalf of their residents and patients,” Pearson said in the HEU news release..

“I know that Tina and her co-workers appreciate the sup-port they received from the local community through this incident.”

In his decision, arbitrator Christopher Sullivan upheld a union grievance claiming that Irvine was unjustly disciplined and ordered Stanford Place to pay her the wages lost for the period of her suspension.

HEU says it represents about 200 workers at Stanford Place.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SWINNIPEG - Speed limits will be

going down in Manitoba school zones but Transportation Minister Steve Ashton says it is not an order.

Ashton says a new regulation allows muni-cipalities to put school speed zones in place.

He says the minimum speed limit will be 30 kilometres an hour in most school zones, but where the current limit is 80 kilometres an hour, that can be reduced to 50.

It’s also possible the lowered speed limit may only be in effect during the school day - Ashton says it depends on what the local municipality decides.

Mayor Sam Katz says the earliest school speed zones go down will be October.

As well, it will be up to the city to deter-mine which school zones will see a change. It may not happen at every school.

Luis Escobar, Winnipeg’s manager of transportation for public works, says about 170 schools, mostly those with elementary students, will have speed limits reduced Monday to Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. from September until June.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SQUEBEC - The leader of the Quebec

Liberals says police seized boxes full of documents in a raid on his party headquar-ters and he promises his full co-operation with their investigation.

In his first public comments on the July raid by UPAC, the provincial anti-corruption unit, Philippe Couillard said: “I want no compromises. I want the truth.”

He said that when police decided not to announce the raid over the summer, he and the party decided to remain silent to avoid interfering with the investigation.

Couillard was asked what police were looking for, and who they were targeting.

“There were so many boxes - I don’t know what was in there,” he said Tuesday.

“And I don’t want to know... I don’t want to intervene in any way in police investiga-tions.”

News of the raid appeared in the media yesterday - on the eve of the reopening of the legislature. The news has overshadowed all other issues at Quebec’s national assem-bly today, including the controversial debate over religious accommodations.

That report on Radio-Canada said some Liberal MNAs had been questioned by police but did not specify whether they were cur-rent or past politicians.

Premier slams slights by celebritiesT H E C A N A D I A N P R E S S

EDMONTON - Alberta Premier Alison Redford is shaking her head over recent attacks on the oil-sands by celebrities Robert Redford and Neil Young, noting the stars use those same resources to go around “flying on planes.”

“This is not differ-ent than what they have been saying for some time. It certainly shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone,” the premier told repor-ters on a conference call from China, where she was on a trade mis-sion Tuesday.

“I’ve really got to question how people who are using (con-ventional) energy flying on planes can make these sorts of comments and assume that they are going to have any credibility.

“We have to start having a discussion based on the facts. That’s not what we’re seeing here.”

Young was in the Fort McMurray area earlier this month. He said he drove his custom hybrid 1959 Lincoln Continental up from the U.S., though a Fort McMurray film-maker hired to film scenes for a documen-tary on the car said there was a diesel bus that followed along for the crew.

Young went away calling the region a post-apocalyptic land-scape that was mak-ing native people in the area sick. “Fort McMurray looks like Hiroshima,” the singer said.

On Monday, Robert Redford released a short video urging U.S. President Barack Obama to reject the proposed Keystone XL pipeline.

The pipe would ship Alberta oilsands bitumen south across North America to refin-eries on the Gulf Coast in Texas. Proponents say it’s a critical link to boosting Alberta’s economy and ensuring the U.S. has a source of oil distinct from the volatile politics of the Middle East.

But in the video, Robert Redford agrees with critics who say the environmental degradation and the risk of catastrophe from pipeline spills are too high a price to pay.

“I can understand why oil companies love tarsands,” the actor says, standing in a field. “There’s a lot of money to be made by strip mining and drill-ing the dirtiest oil on the planet - but why should the rest of us pay the price?”

His comments are delivered over images of blackened, denuded land around oilsands operations in Fort McMurray, north of Edmonton.

“Developing the Canadian tarsands is destroying our great

northern forests at a terrifying rate,” intones the actor, famous for roles in “All the President’s Men,” “The Sting,” and “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.”

“It’s killing our planet, and there’s no energy security in that.”

Mike Hudema of the environmental group Greenpeace said Redford the premier should not be so quick to dismiss Redford the actor.

“Celebrities like Robert Redford don’t take political positions lightly,” said Hudema.

Robert “Redford has been looking into the impacts of tar-sands development for years. Robert Redford and Neil Young join a growing list of celeb-rities, Nobel laureates and award-winning cli-mate scientists that all come to the same con-clusion - we need to be transitioning ourselves away from extreme energy developments like the tarsands.”

One of those celeb-rities, Hollywood pro-ducer-director James Cameron, came to Alberta to see the oil-sands for himself three years ago.

Alison Redford’s predecessor as pre-mier, Ed Stelmach, met with Cameron in September 2010 after Cameron criticized the oilsands as a “black

eye” and a “dead-end paradigm.”

Cameron had just completed “Avatar,” a futuristic film about indigenous peoples on a far-flung planet bat-tling business types bent on ripping and razing their land with massive claw machines in order to get at the minerals underneath.

Cameron said he presented Stelmach with studies sug-

gesting the cancer rate is 30 per cent higher than normal in down-stream communities, but Stelmach pre-sented his own figures refuting that.

Since Alison Redford became pre-mier two years ago, she has made it clear that high-profile crit-ics coming to tour the oilsands will not receive her assistance to get up on a soapbox.

OPINION

Quebec charter right in principle, wrong in executionThe verdict is in: the

English-Canadian commentariat is unanimous that

Quebec’s proposed Charter of Values is both a stupid and a bad idea, incompat-ible with a multicultural society.

They are half right. It is a bad idea (and incredibly ineptly handled). It is not, however, a stupid one.

In their justified rush to condemn the Parti Quebecois’s fearmonger-ing over the survival of the Québécois pur laine, these commentators have ignored that there is a legitimate debate to be had about how the private beliefs of state employees can and should intrude on their work.

Danielle Smith’s Wildrose Party harmed its chances in the last Alberta election by championing the idea that justices of the peace who were con-scientiously opposed to performing gay mar-riages should be exempted from doing so. What was the objection to such an exemption? Presumably that people who work for the state must be prepared to act on and enforce the state’s policies, and be neu-tral and even-handed in

their treatment of all cit-izens. If the state decides that gays should be allowed to marry, those who work for the state must be pre-pared to set their private feelings aside and faithfully execute their public duty.

So how far is the state entitled to go in enforcing this neutrality? This is not a stupid question. On the contrary, its importance is magnified in a multi-cultural society composed of many groups and indi-viduals of widely differing backgrounds and moral assumptions. In those circumstances, the state must be even more scru-pulous; it must be neutral and be seen to be neutral. Otherwise government can easily lose its ability to be a trusted arbiter in social conflict and reliable enfor-cer of the rules.

Nor is it stupid to think that how the servants of the state dress might mat-ter enormously. Drunken brawlers on St. Patrick’s Day might be particularly resistant to being arrested by a policeman wearing his Orange Order sash. A fem-inist might reasonably have reservations about handing her child over to a Muslim woman teacher wearing a veil, fearing that this per-

son would be unable to separate her private beliefs about the role of women from the official equality of the sexes professed by the state. A Tutsi, whose tribe suffered horrific massacres at the hands of the Hutus in Rwanda, might wonder what kind of care he would get from a surgeon who insisted on wearing trad-itional Hutu symbols.

So a policy that required government workers not to make ostentatious shows of their private beliefs in the course of performing their public duties could be jus-tified. Nor would this, as many seem to believe, con-stitute “discrimination.” No one is forced to work for the government, and the devout of every religion have activities they are for-bidden to engage in.

A pious Catholic wouldn’t work in an abor-tion clinic, a devout Jew could not accept a job that required her to work on Saturdays and an observant Muslim could not work as a bacon taster for a meat packer. Does that mean these jobs “discriminate” against such people? Not at all. It means that the devout have freely made certain choices that preclude some others. A person unwilling to subordinate their private beliefs to their public dut-ies has made such a choice, understanding that there are both costs and benefits to their beliefs.

But requiring govern-ment employees to set aside the symbols of their private selves while on pub-lic duty is not the only possible policy consist-ent with state neutrality. The Canadian alternative is based on trust, the pre-sumption of innocence and a “least harm” principle. We trust that people who agree to work for the state do so in good faith and with the intention of hon-ouring their duties, and we presume they are doing so until we have evidence to the contrary. They may then be legitimately disciplined. We regard what they wear

as largely immaterial until the individual’s behaviour gives us specific reasons to believe otherwise. We try to protect the neutrality of the state in ways that cause the least possible harm to people, including those who work for government. Requiring people to give up symbols of their beliefs does cause them harm, and we seek out alterna-tives that minimize that harm before hauling out the heavy cannon.

Finally, in this debate, motivation matters. Where the Quebec government has gone so badly wrong is in putting forward a policy that could be reasonably justified, but doing so in a way that makes it clear that reasoned pursuit of the public good is not its goal. Instead the PQ is clearly seeking partisan political advantage by demonizing minorities and lending the prestige of the state to vastly overblown fears of cultural dilution among old-stock Quebeckers. That we must never accept.

Listening to the news, ICBC has to hike up rates to com-pensate for the rising costs of personal injuries. Also the news showed how there is an extreme increase in hit and runs, and drivers leaving the scene of accidents, leaving people at the accident scene for dead.

One incident was a 14 year old run down while walking to her first day of school. And there is far too many other situ-ations to list.

Obviously accidents happen. But it is the senseless incidents that could have been prevented if you drive defensively. But to be a coward and run away.

So they said we need a plan to stop these inhumane occur-rences.

Here is just an idea I can maybe throw out there. Quit

punishing everyone else for the bad driving skills of oth-ers. You don't punish all your kids at home because the one decided to get themselves into hot water.

Driving as I knew it was a privilege, not a right so this let-ter has nothing to do with tak-ing your rights away but simply using your privileges respon-sively. If someone is condoned a bad driver, then they should have to pay the penalty, not all of us.

The best we can get is a 40 per cent break for 99 years of good driving. Raise their rates, make them have to buy $5 million or $10 million in liability at an escalated premi-um. Start hitting them up for an insane amount for texting as they drive.

Hammer down on street rac-ers. Make it mandatory that you must undergo a vehicle virtual reality simulation test to renew your license. If a per-son has to pay out too much for driving privileges and can't afford all their incidences, then just maybe they would hang up their keys.

Put this money into the system to help. Maybe this would detour more drivers that are senselessly killing people that are walking near or on the street.

The only people this letter will bother will be the viola-tors thinking I'm going against their rights, forgetting what a privilege is. And don't even get me started on ICBC bonuses.

Why was the public not bet-ter informed as to the exact plan for Victoria Street? We refer in particular to the new one-way street on part of Cedar Avenue, no right turns onto Victoria Street from Pine Avenue and Cedar Avenue, etc.

All that was mentioned in a rather vague way was the revi-talization of Victoria Street.

The concrete “jut outs” are going to be a nightmare to negotiate around and in winter the streets will be narrowed

further by the snow piled up on the sides of these monstrosi-ties.

It seems that we will lose some parking spots, especially in the area of the Credit Union, Trail Times, etc. on Cedar Avenue. We can ill afford to lose any parking in the down-town core.

All this is costing a mint when that money should have been put toward a second bridge--one that will accom-modate cars.

We shudder to think of the traffic pileup that will be cre-ated if there is any kind of incident on the “new” bridge or anywhere in that area.

Of course there was a need to upgrade infrastructure on Victoria Street including side-walks and curbs, but who-ever dreamed up this whole endeavor did not have much knowledge of traffic flow in this town.

An editorial from the Corner Brook Western Star

Last week results from an online poll by the Canadian Payroll Association showed what most of us suspected - and many of us live with. One study indicated that almost half of Canadians would be in trouble if their paycheque was delayed a week.

That means that 42 per cent who were polled spend every cent they make trying to keep the lights on and food on their table.

It shouldn’t come as a sur-prise though.

Working Canadians haven’t made any real gains since the early 1980s if inflation is added

into the equation.Canadian families are bring-

ing in about the same amount of money on their paycheques while the cost of almost every-thing has continued to climb. It’s a recipe for social upheaval.

Workers will eventually stop being treated as second-class citizens.

These continue to be tough times economically and ordin-ary families are looking at a bleak future if all they can do is manage to pay their bills, with not a nickel left over.

Some places are worse than others. This week too the Conference Board of Canada predicts that St. John’s will have the fasted growing economy in

the country ... ahead of places like Calgary and Edmonton.

The growth is said to be spurred by the offshore oil industry.

That is positive for those who are working in the offshore industry or for spinoff busi-nesses that are paying massive salaries.

But what about those who are barely getting by and still have to compete with these petro salaries when trying to buy a home or rent an apart-ment, or even to pick up a couple of pounds of hamburger meat?

Money isn’t everything, but you can’t pay the bills without it.

DEROSA, (MITA) LOUISE — passed away peacefully on September 14, 2013 in Columbia View Lodge at the age of 97.

She immigrated to Canada with her wid-owed mother Amelia Mattiazzo and older sister Mary in 1921. They took residence in Trail.

Louise worked at Star Bakery with her hus-band, Tony. She raised her children in Trail then in her later years moved to “friendly” Blueberry Creek where she found peace in her solitude and the simplicity of life.

Mom is predeceased by her infant sister Anna Campano, husband Antonio (1958), sis-ter Mary Lauriente, step-sister Edie Exner, daughter-in-law Dianne DeRosa (McLaren), son-in-law Robert Kromm, and brothers-in-law Arnold Lauriente and Herbert Exner.

She is survived by daughter Geri Kromm, Raymond DeRosa (Beverly), Gord DeRosa (Beverly), step-brother Roy Morchiori, step-sister Norma Milne, 12 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren.

It was her written explicit instruction that there not be a funeral service and that in lieu of � owers, personal expressions of condolences be made to a charity of choice.

It was her choice to have her remains do-nated to the U.B.C. Faculty of Medicine.

OBITUARIES

B Y A L E X C O O P E RRevelstoke Times Review

Two Revelstokians have landed one of the great achievements in their field - the cover of Powder Magazine.

Bruno Long’s photo of Sean Cochrane skiing on a snowshed over the Trans-Canada Highway just outside Glacier National Park has landed on the cover of the October 2013 issue of the famous ski magazine. For both of them, it’s a first.

“I know for both of us it’s a big time dream come true,” said Long.

“For a ski photographer, there isn’t anything better than that. They don’t run that many issues a year and to get on the cover is some-thing super special.”

Added Cochrane: “It’s a really cool pay off for me as far as having something to show for the work I’m doing.”

The photo was taken on an overcast day in March. Long and Cochrane were heading to Rogers Pass when they

found out most of the area was closed for avalanche con-trol. Instead, they stopped just before the park to ski a pillow line they had seen before.

On the way home, they both noticed the snowshed – the only one with a steep roof capable of being skied on. They parked their car and toured down the highway to the snowshed. Cochrane climbed up a service road to the top of the shed while Long set up his shot.

“I was freaking out, I was shaking,” said Long. “I was stoked. He was standing at the top and I could tell that if it worked out the way I think it is, it’s going to be unreal.”

They waited for a transport to come through. Eventually,

Long called out to Cochrane. He poled a few times, dropped onto the shed and slashed a big powder turn right down to the bottom.

“It was one of the funnest turns of my life,” he said.

“I knew right away it was a magazine shot, guaranteed,” said Long.

Landing on the cover of Powder is often regarded as a pinnacle achievement for photographers and ski-ers. While I spoke to Long and Cochrane outside the Modern, about a half-dozen people came up to congratu-late them on the achieve-ment.

Long said he knew right away the photo was a winner. When he sent it in several months ago, Powder got back to him, saying it would make the photo annual as a two-page spread.

Time passed and some more e-mails and calls came in from the magazine, raising their suspicions that some-thing was up.

Last week, Cochrane went

to see local filmmaker Frank Desrosiers about a video edit he was working on. He showed up at the studio to find Greg Hill there, and Long on Skype from Rossland, where he was shooting mountain biking.

They both thought they were being offered a role in a new project.

Then Hill came in with a pizza box. “I flipped open the lid and inside there was a print that Powder had sent up on a piece of cardboard, and a GoPro to get the reac-tion,” said Cochrane. He held up the photo for Long to see.

“I’m excited it’s this shot and not something that’s been seen before,” said Cochrane. “It’s not just a turn with a scenic background or a cliff that makes you go wow. It’s just different.”

They both see it as a boost to their dreams – Long as a professional photographer and Cochrane as a profes-sional skier.

“It’s a payoff for all the hard work that both of us had been doing,” said Long.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SWARSAW, Poland - Dissident playwright

Slawomir Mrozek, considered by many to be one of Poland’s greatest writers for the stage, was buried during a state ceremony on Tuesday.

People waited in the rain in the southern historic city of Krakow, where Mrozek’s career began, to sign a condolence book. Then a hearse drawn by two black horses took the metal urn to its resting place at St. Peter and Paul church. The funeral Mass was conducted by Archbishop Stanislaw Dziwisz, who served as a personal secretary of the late Pope John Paul II.

President Bronislaw Komorowski posthu-mously awarded Mrozek the Grand Cross of the Order of Poland’s Rebirth, in recognition of his contribution to Poland’s culture.

“We are bidding farewell to a master of wise grotesque that was filled with deep thought,” Culture Minister Bogdan Zdrojewski said dur-ing the service, which was attended by other government officials and Mrozek’s publishers from Poland and abroad.

Poland completed its transformation from a communist to a democratic country in 1989. Long before then, Mrozek made his name with surrealistic, satirical plays, notably the 1964 “Tango,” which slyly ridiculed communism.

He also made pointed but skeptical observa-tions about human nature. That convoluted form protected Mrozek from censorship and allowed for his works to be staged in Poland.

A communist party member at first, he was stripped of his passport after criticizing Poland’s participation in the 1968 Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia to crush its Prague Spring reforms. He remained in France, where he was at the time.

The West Kootenay Fishing Report is back with reports and tips on how to catch fish on local lakes and streams.

Columbia River:The Columbia saw some great fishing

over the summer months. After a July of furious action, the

dwindling caddis hatches made way for hopper patterns in late August and early September. Hatches will begin to fall off as the weather cools and fly fishers are generally more successful using sink-tip or full-sink lines and throwing woolly buggers and stonefly nymphs at the large rainbow. However, sunny days and late mayfly and October-caddis hatches can mean some great top-water action during warm afternoons.

Technique: With fewer bugs coming off the water, rainbows will hunker down and hold in tailouts or in the fast water of runs and riffles, feeding opportunis-tically on passing nymphs, beetles, flying ants, and other invertebrates. Getting the fly down is more effective so flies weighted with lead wire or a tungsten bead-head helps.

A short leader of up to four feet is recommended. Cast the line out, let it sink, and strip out extra line to cover more ground, before twisting the line in slowly, with an intermittent jerk to give it life.

The takes can be hard and jolting, but are often barely perceptible so be sure to set any pause in the retrieve.

Lakes: Fall is the time that fishing on local lakes heat up. Well actually the lakes cool down, bringing trout out of the depths as the thermocline - the area of cool, oxygenated water, that trout are most comfortable - moves closer to the surface. Trout will cruise just above the thermocline, along shoals, and weedbeds seeking out dragonfly and

damselfly nymphs, as well as leeches, chironomids, and water boatmen.

Patterns and technique: Leech, chi-ronomid and water boatman patterns are good choices but tossing a weighted dragonfly nymph pattern alongside a weedbed elicits some bone-jarring hits. Cast a dragonfly nymph pattern on an intermediate sink line or sink tip, over weed beds or near the shore along the bottom.

During emergence, dragonflies migrate to shore and emerge on reeds and other vegetation, so crawling a nymph towards shore, slowly across the bottom, interspersed with a quick strip to imitate its innate propulsion system is effective.

Adult Darner dragonflies are most common on lakes and attain large sizes with bodies up to 3.5 inches or longer. Climbing Darner nymphs grow up to 2 inches, although 1 ¾ to 1 ¾ inches is a common average. Long shank hooks in sizes #4- #8 cover the bases and a size #6 is a good overall average. Use larger pat-terns in the spring and early summer to suggest mature nymphs. During the fall, smaller sizes are wise choices to imitate the remaining immature nymphs.

Champion, Rosebud, Nancy Greene, Erie and Cottonwood Lakes are great local water on which to toss a fly or lure.

Kootenay Lake: After spending the summer chasing

salmon on the coast, Kerry Reed and Reel Adventures Fishing Charters is back on Kootenay Lake.

Although Kerry was absent from local water, his team was still fishing Kootenay

Lake on a regular basis throughout the summer. Even on hot summer days they managed to catch a few fish mostly on the downriggers due to the warm water conditions.

Bull trout of smaller sizes were con-sistently caught each day and a few rain-bows mixed in.

And when the warm water finally caught up, they started fishing for Kokanee to help maintain interest. That turned out to be a pleasant surprise, as late summer Kokanee up to 18 inches made for exciting trips.

As the team transitions to autumn fishing, decent rainbows have been caught in the past week or two. Nothing huge, but still some good fish in the low teens. That’s a good start considering the water is still very warm.

Lures and technique:It’s still a mixed bag. The weather

is still warm and so is the water. So, most fish are biting on the deep lines. However, there have been a few good ones caught on the surface.

September is usually best fished with downriggers. Common depths of 80 - 120 feet seem to work best.

The usual flasher and hoochie combo has been successful. And some of the latest experiments have found a flasher and bucktail fly to be catching fish also. These combinations fished on the rigger around 100 feet seems to be working.

Bucktails on the surface will be work-ing also as the fish become more aggres-sive. Look forward to more detailed reports as we spend more and more time on the lake over the next few weeks.

SubmittedThe Selkirk College Saints began their five-

game preseason schedule against Alberta col-lege league opponents on a winning note this weekend, sweeping a two-game series with Fort McMurray-based Keyano College.

The teams faced off in Nelson on Friday night in a high-scoring match-up that finally ended in the Saints’ favour with a Dylan Smith overtime goal to cap a 7-6 victory. Selkirk never trailed in the game and twice held two-goal leads, but the Huskies fought back and tied the game with 12 seconds in regulation to force the extra frame.

Cody Fidgett and Stefan Gonzales each scored twice in the game, while Darnell Dyck and Scott Swiston added singles. Former Major Junior product Scott Sandercock led the way offensively for Keyano College with a goal and four assists.

The series then wrapped up on Saturday in Castlegar, where the Saints took a 3-1 lead through two periods and held on through a score-less third for their second win in as many days. Cody Fidgett and linemate Thomas Hardy once again paced the Selkirk scoring, with Fidgett scoring the team’s second and third goals off Hardy set-ups. Jackson Garrett opened the scor-ing for the hosts with a first period marker.

James Prigione picked up the win in net for the Saints on Friday, while Aaron Oakley was stellar in his college debut on Saturday. Oakley stopped 31 shots in the 3-1 victory and made a number of tough stops to keep his team ahead by a pair when they ran into penalty trouble in the third period.

“Keyano College came as advertised,” says Saints head coach Jeff Dubois. “They were big, physical and worked very hard right through the line-up.” We let things get away from us defen-sively on Friday night and were very pleased with how the guys responded on Saturday.”

The Saints will play Trinity Western at home on Sept. 28 to close out their exhibition season.

B y K o l B y S o l i n S K y BC Local News

Believe me, it could have gone better. Shinkaruk could have danced a little more, made another move, and maybe gotten a little more speed on the puck. It could have been more convincing, you know? And, it could have been against Antti Niemi.

But, as long as we’re enjoying the moment, let’s just say this: Vancouver Canucks rookie Hunter Shinkaruk had one hell of an intro-duction to the NHL last night in a 3-2 loss to San Jose Sharks. His roof-job snipe against the more-than-capable San Jose netminder Alex Stalock was pretty darn sexy.

Officially, Shinkaruk has never scored an NHL goal. He doesn’t have a point. He doesn’t even have a minute of ice time. Last night was a preseason opener, but you couldn’t have told him that – and that’s a good thing.

“It was definitely pretty exciting,” said Shinkaruk, who launched him-self into the glass in celebration – much like he does in Medicine Hat, and much like he did to celebrate

fellow prospect Brendan Gaunce’s first period notch on Monday, as well.

“It was a game I’ll never forget, and it was a lot of fun.”

For Shinkaruk, the goal wasn’t just a bonus but probably necessary. He’s considered a longshot to make this team’s 2013, real-time roster, because he was not the first player the Canucks took in this year’s draft (that would be Horvat) and he hasn’t waited through the queue like Gaunce, Nicklas Jensen, or even Jordan Schroeder.

That’s the danger of the NHL. Public opinion often becomes real opinion and, when that happens, real, true, once-in-a-draft talents like Shinkaruk get passed over.

We can’t say what John Tortorella will decide, but his assistant coach and longtime running mate – Mike Sullivan – had nothing but praise for Shinkaruk:

“That’s a goal scorer’s goal... Off the angle like that – top shelf, short side. He’s an easy guy to like. Plays with a ton of moxie. He loves hock-ey. He’s been a lot of fun to spend the first few days with here.”

Over the last week, Revelstoke RCMP raided a local residence where the seized counterfeit US money and counterfeiting equip-ment.

Police arrested four individ-uals aged in their 20s and 30s, all with local ties. Revelstoke RCMP Sgt. Kim Hall said some of the individuals were known

to police.Three males and one female

have been arrested and are await-ing bail hearings.

Police allege the individuals were using photocopiers to print US $20, $50 and $100 notes, some of which were passed at local businesses. At least two photocopiers were involved.

Police seized two “modified assault rifles” in searches of

two residences and at least one vehicle.

Since charges have not yet been approved by the Crown, the RCMP were reluctant to answer many questions about the ongoing investigation.

Police wouldn’t give specifics on questions about how much money was involved, how the assault rifles were “modified,” the addresses where the raids

took place, how the alleged counterfeiting ring was uncov-ered, or exactly how sophisti-cated the operation appeared.

Police believe the counter-feiting operation may be con-nected to other locations where counterfeiting occurred outside of Revelstoke.

Last week, Nelson police also warned of counterfiet U.S. cur-rency being circulated in its city.

You & The LawTYLEEN UNDERWOOD LAW OFFICE presents

ACT FAST TO CLAIM PAST CHILD SUPPORTIf you have custody of your child or children, can you claim past child support from the other parent? How far back can your claim go, and how much money can be claimed?

These questions often trouble the courts, which must weigh many factors, such as hardship on the part of the payor to pay such back-reaching support, the delay in making the claim, the needs of the child, any increases in the payor’s earnings, the right of the child to share in such increase, and non-disclosure by the payor of earnings increases in the past.

A recent case decided by the BC Court of Appeal sheds some light on the issues involved.

Ms. H met Mr. H when they were 16 and 18 years old, respectively. After a year, they moved in together, and six years later, they married in 1990. A month later, their child was born. They separated once in 1992 and again in 1996. During the second separation, Ms. H obtained a child support order of $181 month, which Mr. H paid. They reconciled for a time, then separated for the last time in 2000. In 2006, they got divorced.

In 2001, Ms. H demanded an updated � nancial disclosure statement from Mr. H. He gave this at the time, but he underestimated his income and omitted an asset (a half-interest in a house in Vernon). In 2002 and 2003, Ms. H again demanded an updated disclosure statement, which Mr. H didn’t provide. In 2005, Mr. H increased the monthly support payments. Finally in 2006, Ms. H claimed, among other things, “retroactive” or past child support, based on the fact that

her ex’s income had shot up signi� cantly over the previous few years. She had a lawyer at trial, but she represented herself before the Court of Appeal

(she was granted “indigent” or poor status).

The Court of Appeal upheld her claim for past child support for 2003, 2004 and 2005. Based on four previous Supreme Court of Canada decisions, the Court of Appeal noted that retroactive payments should normally only extend back to the three previous years, unless there is “blameworthy conduct” by the payor. The earliest starting date for retroactive support should be the date when notice of the claim was effectively given (in this case, 2001, when Ms. H � rst demanded an updated � nancial disclosure statement).

Here, Mr. H’s conduct was blameworthy because he ignored his ex-wife’s repeated demands for updated � nancial documents and didn’t boost his support payments as his income went up. But the support he paid in 2001 and 2002 was about the same as what he should have paid. It was therefore only necessary for the court to order past support for the three previous years of 2003 to 2005, when Mr. H should have paid monthly support of $323, $397 and $507, respectively.

If a change in your ex’s circumstances (e.g., an increase in their income) would allow a bump in child support, it’s critical that you don’t delay your claim for past child support too long. You’re expected to be vigilant and prompt. The courts note that it’s hard for the paying parent to pay a retroactive lump sum judgment. Also, you cannot claim retroactive child support once your child becomes an adult. Consult your family lawyer for speci� c advice.

K i m b e r l e y b u l l e t i nA 40-year-old

man is missing after he jumped into the Kootenay River in Wardner to escape from police on Sept. 11.

Cranbrook RCMP’s drug task force found two men in pos-session of a large amount of cocaine next to the Fort Steele Wardner Road, close to Highway 3.

The RCMP arrested one man, but the other ran away and jumped into the Kootenay River, according to an RCMP statement.

“Additional offi-cers were immedi-ately dispatched from the Cranbrook area, and Cranbrook and Kimberley Search and Rescue were activated and searched the river, assisted by the RCMP helicopter and a police service dog team,” said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, media relations for the RCMP’s Southeast Division.

The man, identi-fied as 40-year-old Jason Baker, has not been seen since and is considered a missing person.

“The Cranbrook RCMP are actively looking for him, to ensure his safety, and are seeking a warrant for his arrest,” said Cpl. Moskaluk.

The other man police arrested at the scene, Calgary resident Jared Strecheniuk, 35, appeared in Cranbrook Provincial Court

facing one charge of possession of a con-trolled substance for

the purposes of traf-ficking and appeared again on Monday,

b y G r e G n e s t e r o f fNelson Star

Where the City of Nelson said yes, the Regional District of Central Kootenay is offering a “qualified no.”

The board voted unanimously Thursday to reject financial incentives to collect printed paper and packaging on behalf of industry.

That was based on a staff recommenda-tion suggesting key information is missing and the offer won’t pay for requirements to fence and staff existing recycling depots.

Presently most of the regional district’s

27 depots lack fencing, staffing, or both. It’s estimated upgrading and manning them would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“We could not pos-sibly operate that sys-tem with the incen-tives offered,” acting resource recovery manager Raymond Gaudart said. “If we accepted, we would simply be committing ourselves to a taxpayer subsidy which goes against the very prin-ciples of extended pro-ducer responsibility.”

However, Gaudart said residents present-ly receiving curbside pickup will continue to do so, whether from

local government or private contractor.

When the cost of recycling printed paper and packaging shifts to industry next May, industry stewardship group Multi-Material BC will be in charge of collecting recycling fees from businesses and distributing the money to local govern-ments and contractors.

Gaudart said by turning the offer down, they’re leaving it up to that agency to provide a depot system, but no one knows what it would look like.

“We don’t have details of what they consider reasonable access for our resi-

dents. You can’t com-mit yourself to a con-tract that hasn’t got the key terms. Saying no is the only answer given the information we have.”

Nelson became one of the few so far to opt in, while others like Prince George and Coquitlam have said no, and others are on the fence.

Nakusp mayor Karen Hamling was concerned that by rejecting the offer they might risk reduced

service or none at all.RDCK environ-

mental services man-ager Uli Wolf responded that Multi-Material BC couldn’t afford to neg-lect municipalities, but rural areas may be at risk: “I don’t think they can get away with say-ing a two-hour drive to do your recycling is acceptable. But one hour, maybe.“

Arrow Lakes dir-ector Paul Petersen asked what happens if some areas of the regional district buy in

and others don’t. He was told contracts may be tendered that cross government bound-aries.

Nelson Mayor John Dooley said he was in the awkward pos-ition of supporting the motion to refuse the offer even though his city had just accepted it. “I feel obliged to support the regional district position at the same time we’re opt-ing in,” he said. “The challenge is for the rural areas.”

Product steward-ship is a good idea, Dooley added, but he wondered how a sys-tem being panned in Metro Vancouver, BC’s most densely popu-lated regional district, could be feasible in our vast area.

Chair John Kettle said in turning down the offer, it was import-ant to provide a “quali-fied no” and explain their rationale.

RDCK rejects recycling program incentive

Leisure

Dear Annie: My son recently married a young woman from an affluent family. When he was first engaged, we began to see less of him. We invited him and his fiancee to dinners, vacations, etc., but were usually turned down. They do, however, spend a great deal of time with her family, so we have just backed off.

My husband and I contributed almost half of the money for the wedding. We offered to help with whatever we could, but were told that our help was not needed. Her family did all of the planning. She and her mother con-jured up lies to throw us off from planning our guest list, what we should wear to the wedding, etc.

We hosted a beauti-ful rehearsal dinner, with no “thank you” or even a smile from the bride. On the day of the wedding, our daughter-in-law was embarrassingly rude to

my husband and me. It wasn’t until the next day, when she refused to attend a family func-tion before going on their honeymoon, that I found out she was angry with me because of what I wore. Annie, I wore the dress my son told me to wear, but he will not admit that to his wife.

We have not heard from either of them since that day. I am so incredibly hurt. I treated this girl like part of the family. I can’t believe she would ruin a relationship over something so trivial. Any advice? -- Mom from Montana

Dear Mom: The dress is just an excuse to

limit contact. It sounds as if your new daugh-ter-in-law doesn’t want a relationship with her husband’s family, and he permits it -- either because he agrees or, more likely, because he doesn’t want to upset the applecart.

You need to “make nice,” even though it will be difficult. Call or email your son and his wife, apologize for unintentionally select-ing the wrong dress, mention something nice about the wedding and about the bride, and sign off by saying you hope to see them soon. We hope your son values his family enough to put his spine back into place.

Dear Annie: I have, for quite some time now, been concerned about a possible water shortage in the U.S. and around the world. I recently stayed with a friend and was amazed at how much water she wasted. She would keep the kitchen faucet turned on full blast for

several minutes while working in another area. I didn’t say any-thing, as it was her home, but it sure hit me that we waste this precious resource.

I am not perfect with my water usage, but I hardly would have let my water run when I didn’t need it. Specialists on water shortage have written articles on how soon our water supply could run out. Also, why don’t all sinks have an “instant hot” so we don’t have to run the faucet until the water warms up?

I am hoping you will print this and it will save water in some households. -- Concerned Water Conservator

Dear Concerned: We don’t always appreci-ate that we have finite resources on this plan-et, including water. Please, folks, don’t run the faucet if you don’t need the water. Use cold when you can. Set a timer for

your showers. Let’s not take our blessings for granted.

Dear Annie: This is for “Retired Architect in Dayton, Ohio,” who asked why we build houses that can burn down:

I suppose if we mountain dwellers

were able to build our ideal homes, we would make certain they were as fireproof as possible. However, there is no such thing as a fireproof construc-tion. We are surviv-ors of the Silver Fire. Many of our neighbors and friends lost their

homes. We saw quite a bit of melted steel. Even concrete burns. The most important thing that every moun-tain dweller can do is keep a defensible space. -- Banning, Calif.

‘Make nice’ with difficult daughter-in-law

Leisure

For Thursday, Sept. 19, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Think twice before you make promises to partners and close friends today, because you’re tempted to go overboard or promise more than you can deliver. Today’s Full Moon can actu-ally aggravate this. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You are confident about issues at work today, which is why you want others to agree with you. Nevertheless, today’s Full Moon might create opposition against you. Tread carefully. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Parents should be vigi-lant about children today, because this is a Full Moon day and people’s judgment might be off. Nevertheless, it’s a playful, fun-loving day. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t bite off more than you can chew in family dis-

cussions today. Just stay within your comfort level. And don’t exaggerate things. (Easy does it.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) If you’re at odds with others about financial mat-ters today (which is like-ly because of today’s Full Moon), be careful what you say. You’re tempted to go overboard or promise too much. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be careful about financial matters today. If shopping, you might be extravagant. Or you might overestimate a financial or business deci-sion. Be aware of this. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Today’s Full Moon might create underlying stress for something. Nevertheless, you are optimistic and full of hope! (Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn’t permanent.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Disagreements with oth-ers might arise because of today’s Full Moon. However, your own personal optimism about something probably will carry the day. Look for a win/win solution. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Difficulties with parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and people in authority are likely today because of the

Full Moon. On top of this, you might be expecting too much of others. Oops. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a mildly accident-prone day because of the Full Moon’s energy. Therefore, pay attention to everything you say and do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Do be careful with finan-cial decisions, especially related to debt, taxes, inheri-

tances and shared property. Your judgment might be off. Don’t give away the farm. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Because of difficulties with someone today, you might be tempted to acquiesce, give in or give away your fair share of something. Don’t do this to yourself. YOU BORN TODAY You are organized. You also have an appreciation for beauty, which is why many of you

have excellent taste. In fact, the appearance of things fas-cinates you and gives you pleasure -- the appearance of your surroundings, your home, your image and what-ever you handle. This year, you might set aside time to study or learn something valuable. (Your rewards soon will follow.) Birthdate of: Michael Symon, chef; Trisha Yearwood, singer/author; Jimmy Fallon, TV host.
