POWER DOWN FOR EARTH HOUR

FAIR practicum student Kelly Woods, board member Gisele Picard and Gail Lavery, executive director, will rely on candlelight from 8:30-9:30 p.m. Saturday during Earth Hour. Residents who pledge online (www.fortisbc.com/earthhour) to switch off during this time will add to their community’s chance to win the FortisBC Earth Hour Challenge. The community with the highest votes will receive bragging rights and $5,000 worth of energy-efficient upgrades for a non-profit of its choice. Trail’s Family and Individual Resource (FAIR) Centre Society is one local non-profit hoping to update its heating, ventilation and air conditioning system in its main three-story building along with replacing some older windows.

People who have been on the wait list for surgery in the West Kootenay-Boundary could have a longer wait after April 2.
Not only are the province’s specialist anesthesiologists threatening to withdraw their services to all but emergency and urgent patients after their contract expires Saturday,
the five-person department at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital will be operating at less than capacity.
As a result, elective pro-cedures and surgeries may be impacted as part of the job action because some anesthe-siologists have said they will not provide support for elect-ive surgeries.
Unfortunately, job action could impact people in the
Greater Trail region, said Dr. Robert Halpenny, president and CEO of the Interior Health Authority. Patients affected by a service withdrawal have been sent letters to notify them of the possibility that their sur-gery may be postponed.
These letters are not the formal notification of surgical cancellation, Dr. Halpenny explained.
“Obviously … each anes-
thetist has a personal choice on whether they withdraw their services or not,” he said. “As soon as possible that we know the anesthetists are not there, we notify patients that their procedure would be postponed.”
Meanwhile, the B.C. gov-ernment responded to the potential services withdrawal on Thursday with a legal

Cuts concern Atamanenko
BY VALERIE ROSSITimes Staff
A Trail business owner who looks to diversify his downtown operation said he feels like he’s being held “hostage” with hefty city parking fees.
After nine years of service, Jim Berukoff, owner of Valu Office Supplies, is converting 2200 square feet of the first floor storefront on Pine Avenue from retail to professional and business office use to house an engineering firm.
Based on the size of office space being con-verted, a city-zoning bylaw requires that four off-street parking spaces be provided for the busi-ness or office use that will most likely see people parking for longer periods of time.
If this parking can’t be provided on the prop-erty, the city allows downtown owners to pay $3,000 in lieu of each off-street parking space required. For Berukoff, this means $12,000.
“I believed enough in Trail’s business com-munity and invested another $90,000 to offer a professional office space for an international com-pany to stay in Trail,” he said in a letter recently presented to Trail council.

Business owner peeved over parking

MP Alex Atamanenko can’t get behind a budget that has nine times more cuts than job creation tactics, he said Thursday after the Conservative government introduced the 2012 federal budget in the House of Commons.
The budget puts some 19,200 pubic servants out of work with an estimated 12,000 of those cut and the remaining positions eliminated through attrition.
“It seems the government’s only job creation strategy is to facilitate super tankers and dirty oil pipelines over our most pristine land and water-ways while gutting environmental assessments,” he said, referring to the government’s plans for sweeping legislative and regulatory changes to environmental assessments and over $100 mil-lion in funding to expedite resource extraction.
Job stability wasn’t the only concern he had for his Southern Interior riding.
The New Democrat says the government’s plan to raise the eligible age for Old Age Security from 65 to 67 will force seniors to work two years extra while denying jobs for younger workers, all while making low-income seniors in B.C. live two more years on degrading rates of social assistance.

STORY SPROUTS
BY GORDON SIMSCrime Prevention Officer, Trail and
Greater District DetachmentHere is some advice to avoid
being victimized in these types of frauds.
Secret Shopper Scam This scam targets people who
want to work from home – moms, pensioners, people with disabilities. The initial contact usually comes by way of email from a free email account with no company named, no website, and no address or phone number. They will send you a cheque to cash or deposit into your account, tell you to keep your fee and wire
the rest of the money to them via a specific financial institute or money exchange service. About four weeks later your bank discovers the for-gery.
Don’t be a victimIf you place an ad on the Internet
or offer an item for sale on an online auction site, never accept payment for an amount higher than the price asked. Be vigilant when you receive a cheque – whether it’s a certified cheque, traveller’s cheque, gift cheque or money order. Scammers use the names of banks, financial institutions and other entities issu-ing cheques.
Don’t be a victim of fraud
BY CASSANDRA CHINGrand Forks GazetteThe Grand Forks
and Boundary Regional Agricultural Society (GFBRAS) has received
$240,000 in funding from the federal gov-ernment to set up a licensed mobile animal slaughter unit (abat-toir).
The announcement was made last week by Dan Albas, MP Okanagan-Coquihalla, who announced the funding on behalf of the Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification (WD).
“One of things we stated in last year’s budget was that we wanted to see local industries take the lead and say how they feel
they should be mov-ing forward on their issues,” Albas said. “People closest to their issues certainly have a lot to say about it. Roly (Russell) and the (agricultural) society brought up a very good business plan.”
The business plan revealed that 70 per cent of the people in the area surveyed said they would use the mobile abattoir.

FROM PAGE 1 warning to anesthesiologists.
Lawyers for health authorities have filed an application for an interim injunction to prevent any service withdrawal, and have also filed a civil claim that could be used against any doctor found in breach of their contract.
There will be no postponements for patients needing emergency or urgent surgery.
However, the situation at the KBRH grows more pressing.
Three weeks ago a specialist anesthesiologist resigned from the department at KBRH, effective in mid June, and another vacancy has existed since last June, moves that will leave a vacancy of two in the five-person department this summer.
But the department, along with local and region-al administration in Interior Health Authority that oversees KBRH, has been successful in recruiting someone to fill the first permanent full-time pos-ition opening.
Dr. Halpenny said an anesthetist from New Zealand has been recruited for the KBRH for August — meaning they will only be short one position. An active recruitment campaign is still ongoing to fill out the full complement in the department, he added.
“It is my hope that by the time this individual comes, this situation will be solved between the province and the anesthesiologists,” he said.
The anesthesiology department is required to pro-vide seamless, 24-hour, seven-day-per-week cover-age of elective and emergency anesthesia care to the 100,000 inhabitants of the Kootenay Boundary.
In December the B.C. Anesthesiologists’ Society (BCAS) said they would start withdrawing services to all but emergency and urgent patients after their contract expired March 31 if the province did not bargain directly with the society, rather than the B.C. Medical Association. Dr. Jeff Rains, president of the BCAS, said at the time the society voted 98 per cent in favour of the move.
Currently, the province has refused to negoti-ate directly with the society, preferring to use third-party group B.C. Medical Association (BCMA). However, months-long negotiations between the BCMA and government have been classified as “rocky at times.”
At issue is a claim by anesthesiologists — who are paid a fee for service — they are the lowest paid and hardest working in Canada, while the province says they aren’t.
As well, anesthesiologists say their dispute is also about recruitment, retention and shortages, while provincial Health Minister Mike de Jong claims there are vacancies across the province and there were 125 active, qualified and licensed anesthesi-ologists who were looking for work in B.C.
The provincial government spends about $115 million a year on fees for anesthesiologists. Anesthesiologists provide services to more than 500,000 patients each year in B.C.

DEMOCRACY IN ACTION IN SALMO

Salmo held its DOT Night on Monday. The purpose of the evening is to allow citizens a voice in allocating funding from the Columbia Basin Trust. With $66,000 in funding allotted to the region, the DOT Night allows organizations to present to the public their need for funding. This year there were 33 approved organizations involved that had specific projects in mind for the money. Each organization can request an amount of money they would like to receive and make a short presentation to the public. Each citizen in attendance is allocated five DOTS, which translates into $38.34. A poster representing each organization is mounted on the wall and citizens can decide how many DOTS they wish to allocate to their choice. They have the option of splitting them up or giving all five to one group.
FROM PAGE 1“Instead of being con-
gratulated for achieving this great goal, I am now being slapped with a heavy-hand-ed penalty.”
Trail rejected Berukoff’s request to waive the fee, not-ing that the purpose of this parking requirement is to fund a reserve for creating future parking facilities that ultimately benefit downtown business owners.
“The city’s monthly paid parking facilities have been consistently at full capacity since the parking meter rates were increased in the
spring of 2010,” explained city administrator Michelle McIsaac in a report to coun-cil.
“Future expenditures will be required to either pur-chase additional property for parking development or to add infrastructure to convert areas the city has available to paid parking.”
A draft revitalization plan created by the MMM Group, on behalf of the Downtown Opportunities and Action Committee, suggests a park-ing shortfall of over 100 stalls in the core.
“In this regard, the col-
lection of monies needed to pay for such a structure is of paramount importance and why the regulation was developed in the first place,” added McIsaac.
Berukoff feels the time has come to abolish the bylaw, which he describes as “restrictive” and “prohibi-tive.”
“Surely, even council-lors must be well aware of changing economic times and the impact on business development in Trail,” he noted.
“Because of changing times, councillors must work
towards updating restrictive bylaws in order to attract new businesses competi-tively and not to discourage business owners moving to Trail.”
In the last 12 years, there have been only three other applications for variance made under this bylaw.
Though Berukoff has to pony up the funds for the parking spaces, he has since requested to speak to coun-cil of his concerns about the bylaw itself.
He is set to appear in council chambers at the next meeting in April.
Council rejects request to waive fee
FROM PAGE 1He attributes the majority of the
approximate $24 billion deficit, which is being whittled away through cuts, to the government’s corporate tax breaks in years past.
“I think we always have to keep reminding folks about that,” he said. “They’re saying they’re scram-bling for money – cutting back here and there, people are being laid off, 12,000 people will lose their jobs and have to go on unemployment insur-ance or scramble to try and find work somewhere – and yet we’ll have given $220 billion out of our budget to cor-porations who really don’t need the money. If you look at it like that, it
doesn’t make any sense.”The budget also shortchanges the
provinces by $31 billion, he said, with unilateral changes to the funding formula for federal health transfers, opening the door wide to privatiza-tion and two-tier health care.
“These are massive cuts and the provinces cannot afford it,” said Atamanenko
“It is shameful that this govern-ment will balance the books on the backs of seniors who want to retire in dignity and make it a certainty that more families are left without a family doctor.”
He said a shop local campaign by most small communities will suffer
now that the government will allow cross-border shoppers to bring back $200 worth of goods free of duty or taxes, an increase from just $50, and $800 for those who’ve been gone for more than 48 hours as of June 1.
“That could really hurt our com-munities,” he said. “Our businesses in our border communities are already struggling with people heading across the line.”
Atamanenko is hopeful that the Southern Interior will see some of the $105 million over two years to sup-port forestry innovation and market development.

The B.C. government is roll-ing out a rock-themed road show to encourage young people to find training and work.
The Jobfest tour has all the trappings of a concert tour, including t-shirts, souvenir drumsticks and guitar picks, and two inflatable tents that look like giant amplifiers. Stops in 50 B.C. communities will include a rock band, local community per-formers and speakers, with the tents serving as mobile career resource centres.
“We’re going into some of the smallest communities in the province, First Nations com-
munities, non-aboriginal com-munities to really share with the youth of the province what sorts of careers are available to them,” said Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Minister Pat Bell.
Job resources that are part of the tour include iPad apps that guide users through a four-stage questionnaire to narrow down their possible career choices, and computers to link users to a network of websites for detailed information.
The tour will officially launch in Abbotsford on April 18.
From there it goes to McBride, Prince George, Mackenzie, Chetwynd, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, Prophet
River, Fort Nelson, Dease Lake, Iskut, Kitwanga, Terrace, New Aiyansh, Kitimat, Haida Gwaii, Prince Rupert, Hazelton, Smithers, Houston, Burns Lake, Fraser Lake, Fort St. James, Vanderhoof, Williams Lake, Quesnel, 100 Mile House Abbotsford, Penticton, Whistler, Lillooet, Squamish, Vancouver, Castlegar, Nelson, Cranbrook, Revelstoke, Salmon Arm, Kelowna, Vernon, Surrey, Kamloops, Merritt, Chilliwack, Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Courtenay-Comox, Campbell River and Powell River.

Tears of joy and relief erupted from the accused and her supporters Thursday in Vernon Supreme Court.
Deborah Louise Ashton, 47, a former Vernon elementary school teacher and vice-principal, was found not guilty on all five counts by Judge Alison Beames of having an alleged sexual relationship with a former student of hers.
The relationship was alleged to have happened between 2003 and 2005, when the boy was in Grade 7 at the same elementary school as Ashton, and continued on while he attended a Vernon high school.
Ashton had been charged with sexual interference of a person under 14, invitation to sexual touch-ing under 14 and sexual assault in her first trial on the matter, which ended in February 2011 with a hung 12-person jury.
This time, before Beames alone, Ashton was also facing two addition-al charges of sexual exploitation. She pleaded not guilty to all counts.
When Beames delivered her ver-dict after 25 minutes Wednesday morning, Ashton broke down in tears beside her lawyer, Terry La Liberte, and her supporters erupted in cheers and ovations.
Beames concluded “there is evidence in this case that Ashton and the alleged victim had a rela-
tionship that went far beyond the normal teacher-student and player-coach relationship (Ashton was the boy’s basketball coach at the Vernon elementary school they were at in Grade 7).”
The judge agreed on the evidence presented that Ashton took the alleged victim – Beames referred to him as ‘the complainant’ in her sub-mission – and a number of his friends to movies, out for food, to her house, and spent a considerable amount of time at the complainant’s home with his family.
The judge also conceded that because these events happened when the boy was just 12 and 13, she could accept that his memory might be tweaked as more questions about the events were asked.
However, where Beames had “fundamental and significant prob-lems” was whether or not a sexual relationship had taken place. She admitted that the complainant and Ashton having sex “231 times,” a number produced by Ashton’s first lawyer, G. Jack Harris, “can’t be accepted or reliable.”
Beames also pointed out that the complainant had no recollection of what she called “a huge and obvious tattoo” that Ashton has on her navel.
Crown counsel had to prove to Beames that a sexual relationship had taken place, not that is “likely or probably happened.”

Four months ago, a small committee tossed out an idea: West Kelowna is Hockeyville.
Several residents and local dignitaries got on board with the suggestion and the
momentum started to grow. Since then, it hasn’t stopped.
This Saturday, West Kelowna will find out if it is Kraft Hockeyville 2012.
“We’re anxious, nervous and excited,” said West Kelowna Hockeyville co-chair
Adam Less.“Win or lose, we’ve
done all that we can do. We’re proud of the effort that we’ve made. . .at this point, it’s a win for us either way. . .we’ll obviously be a lot happier if we win.”
Although there are five communities in the running for the Hockeyville crown, West Kelowna and Stirling-Rawdon, ON, are heavy favourites.
In the first round of voting, Stirling-
Rawdon earned over 1.3 million votes; West Kelowna brought in just over 1 million votes.
But Less is opti-mistic that Saturday’s announcement might be different than the results from the first round of voting.
“You never want to speculate, but we have a lot of support out here. We reached out throughout the prov-ince and beyond.
“ T r a d i t i o n a l l y in these things, the second round of vot-ing tends to draw more votes than the first round. We were behind Stirling, but in the whole scheme of things, not by that much.
“We’re hopeful that we reached enough people and created enough of a stir that we passed them on the final stretch.”

OTTAWA - Highlights from the Conservative government’s 2012 budget, released Thursday:
- Production of the penny to cease this fall, saving an estimated $11 million a year.
- Deficit projected to fall $8.5 billion, to $24.9 billion for 2011-12, to decline to $21.1 billion next year and to disappear by 2015.

- $5.2 billion over 11 years to renew and refit the Canadian Coast Guard’s fleet of vessels and helicopters.
- Eligible Canadians to be allowed to defer old age security for a maximum of five years, beginning in 2013, in exchange for higher benefits.
- $1.1 billion in research and develop-ment over five years, plus $500 million to encourage venture capital investment by the private sector.

- Cap on annual increases to employ-ment insurance premiums until operating budget is balanced.
- $205 million for a one-year extension of a temporary hiring credit for small businesses.
- $50 million over two years to provide job skills training for young people.
THE CANADIAN PRESSOTTAWA - A penny-
pinching Conservative government is loos-ening the reins on Canada’s business com-munity in a budget it says will position the country for unbridled commercial opportun-ity.
With an eye to the long game after years of politically attract-ive, minority budgets, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is trimming $5.2 billion in annual federal spending - scrapping the money-losing penny in the pro-cess - while raising the age of eligibility for old age security to 67 from 65, starting a decade from now.
Thursday’s federal budget, the seventh since Stephen Harper took office, is the first with an overtly pro-trade and resource development bent and a dearth of voter-friend-ly goodies. A majority mandate with three full years before the next election will do that for a conservative-minded prime minister.
“We are a moderate, pragmatic government that responds to the facts as they are, and
not as we might wish them to be,” Flaherty said in the budget lock-up Thursday.
“We are fiscal con-servatives, we are a majority now, the econ-omy is growing - albeit modestly.... We’re look-ing to the future.”
Flaherty said Canada “wants to be in the next league. We want to be with the emerging economies. We want to be with the economies of Asia and South America that are growing, and we’re in a position in this country to get there.”
The blowback was immediate: a noisy group of protesters perched in the House
of Commons public gal-lery began to chant slo-gans as Flaherty deliv-ered his speech.
“Where are we in your budget? This is not our budget!” they shouted before being led out by security guards.
The budget’s busi-ness-friendly measures include streamlining environmental assess-ments to speed major resource projects - think pipelines - into existence; recasting research and develop-
ment funds; tailoring the labour market, including immigration, to specific job short-ages; and a focus on new free-trade deals.
There’s $500 mil-lion in government largesse for venture capital, $1.1 billion in directed research and development funding, and $205 million for a one-year extension of a temporary hiring credit for small businesses.
“What the budget is doing is handing off the baton from govern-ment to the private sec-tor to carry economic growth,” said Craig Alexander, chief econo-mist at TD Bank.
The transformation will come from a shuf-fling of priorities, not big new spending pro-grams.
“It’s a whole bunch of little things around the edges,” said Alexander.
Not so, said Greenpeace Canada, which issued a release claiming “big oil is the big winner in today’s budget.”
It’s also an austerity budget, whatever the government claims.
Total spending, including debt servi-cing charges, will rise to $276.1 billion in 2012-13, a marginal increase of 0.11 per cent on the current $272.9 billion envelope. Program spending is projected to rise just 2.1 per cent annually for years, effectively flatlining in real terms after infla-tion and population growth.
“It’s going to take an awful lot of tough deci-sions to restrain to that degree on such a long period of time,” said Alexander. “In actual fact, it’s more fiscal restraint than we had in the ‘90s (under the former Liberal govern-ment) because in that period we had very sharp cuts followed by a rebound in spending. This time it’s going to be slow spending for many years.
“It’s easy to say, extraordinarily difficult to do.”

OPINION
B.C. makes a downhill business decisionWhen I dipped
into media coverage of the B.C. gov-
ernment’s approval of the Jumbo Glacier Resort ski development I didn’t come across anything that sur-prised me. The anti-crowd was still against and the (much smaller) pro-group was still for.
Twenty years to get to a decision is a remarkably long time because that means for two decades there have been too many reasons for the government in power not to give the application a go-ahead. I wonder what the current brain trust believes has changed?
During my reading of the news coverage, I found myself dismissing the opin-ions of skiers who also call themselves environmental-ists. These are the folks who drive all over hell’s half-acre to get towed upward to mountaintops, but then complain about just about anything else that has a negative environmental impact. I also decided to ignore the folks who just want another place to ski, damn the torpedoes and
full speed ahead.Still, though, I was left
with plenty of questions. Why would a government that from all appearances is on shaky ground come the next election choose to pick a fight with the Ktunaxa Nation, which considers Jumbo to be sacred ground and vows to anything it takes to stop the project? Have Premier Clark and her cab-inet decided its only hope lies with the urban vote, one that is more likely to ignore the obvious environmental impact of the development and to dismiss the clear (the polls I found all found Kootenay residents to be at least 65 per cent against it) sentiments of Kootenay residents?
Or maybe it was just as simple as a ruling party see-ing an opportunity to deep-six MLA Bill Bennett, a con-stant thorn in its side, for once and for all.
I kept coming back to Steve Thompson, Minister of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (note the key addition of the word “operations” to the title), and his claim that his approval proves that the province is open for busi-
ness.Of course the province
should be open for business, and to business. Without jobs the economy dies, so it’s a bit of a motherhood and apple pie argument.
But should the province be open to bad business? That, I think, is the real question.
I suspect demographic expert David Foote would be shaking his head in wonder. Don’t you people understand, he might ask, that the proportion of the population that is fit enough to downhill ski is declining as precipitously as the ver-tical drop Jumbo develop-ers boast about? A decade ago, he was warning about the wisdom of investing in ski developments. Nothing
has changed, at least to my mind, that would make them a haven for smart money today. Add to that the climate change that seems likely to reduce the length and reliability of the traditional ski season and the result is that we are proposing to embark on a process of attracting dumb money into an extremely controversial project.
There is ample evidence to suggest that a $1 billion ski development won’t do a lot for the economy, at least in the longer term. No one is going to existing ski hills in the Kootenay and Columbia region and coming home frustrated because they couldn’t get a day’s skiing in due to a lack of space on the slopes. And there is little evidence that I have found to suggest that Jumbo will draw an entirely new group of enthusiasts to the area. No, the business, at least on the ski hill, will simply come at the expense of others already in oper-ation, and most of them have been in financial dif-ficulty at least once in the past couple of decades.
So the true net bene-fit to Jumbo is a gorgeous
area for people with plenty of cash to spend, who can afford to buy a high-end condo or build a second or third very expensive home, many of which will be used for no more than a handful of weeks each year.
The construction phase of the project, if it really does go ahead, is likely to provide the only tangible short-term benefit — jobs and material purchases will be a boost to the local economy and the provin-cial coffers for a couple of years. But don’t we want a government that thinks just a little further down the road, to the day when there are the same num-ber of skiers spending the same total number of dol-lars, only spread over more ski hills? Or one that sees the folly in encouraging development at the expense of ever-declining accessible areas of wilderness?
The Jumbo Glacier Resort is a dumb idea that has been embraced by a desperate government that measures its future only as far as the next election.

We have just had the second Nuclear Security Summit, in Seoul.
It got surprisingly little atten-tion from the international media although 53 countries attended. For the media, nuclear weapons yesterday’s issue, because nobody expects a nuclear war. But a nuclear weapon in terrorist hands is the defining nightmare of the post-9/11 decade, and that’s what the summit was actually about.
“It would not take much, just a handful or so of these (nucle-ar) materials, to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and that’s not an exaggera-tion,” said President Barack Obama on his way home from Seoul. “There are still too many bad actors in search of these dangerous materials, and these dangerous materi-als are still vulnerable in too many places.”
Keeping bomb-grade nucle-ar material out of the wrong hands requires a high level of international cooperation. Some progress was made on this issue in Seoul, in terms of coordinating police and intel-ligence operations, but the real problem is that there are far too many nuclear weapons in the world.
Nobody has ever come up with a plausible scenario in which a terrorist group creates a nuclear bomb from scratch. Mining uranium, refining it to weapons-grade material, and constructing a bomb that will actually produce even a 20-kiloton explosion (like the Hiroshima bomb) are tasks that require the scien-tific, technical and financial resources of a state.
What terrorists need is a ready-made bomb, or at least enough highly enriched ura-nium or plutonium that the only job left is to assemble the bomb.
The only plausible source of a terrorist bomb, therefore, is the nuclear weapons pro-grammes of the various states
that own them. And the big-ger those programmes are, the greater the chance that either a nuclear weapon or a large amount of fissile material will fall into the wrong hands.
Now, it may be true (or it may not) that the US nuclear weapons establishment is so efficient and experienced that there is little risk of anybody stealing American bombs or
fissile material. But American security also depends on e v e r y b o d y else’s nuclear establishments being well pro-tected – and this explains why Obama is a strong support-er of the “Global Zero” project.
No other US president except Ronald Reagan has called for a world with zero nuclear weapons. In 1984 Reagan said: “A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. The only value in (the US and the Soviet Union) possessing nuclear weapons is to make sure they will never be used. But then would it not be better to do away with them entirely?”
Obama seems to share the same goal, but his sup-port for “Global Zero” is more nuanced.
From a high of 65,000 active nuclear weapons in 1985, the world’s stock has declined to about 8,000 active warheads now, 95 percent of them under Russian or American control.
There are an additional 14,000 nuclear weapons in storage, all of them Russian or American – and those may be an even greater danger for nuclear terrorism, since they are not under hourly supervi-sion.
The world will probably never fulfill Ronald Reagan’s dream and abolish nuclear weapons, but it would be a much safer place if there were fewer of them around. Not because that would make a nuclear war less horrible if it happened: a hundred nucle-ar warheads, dropped on major cities, is quite enough to destroy any country. But
because the more weapons there are, the greater the risk that some will fall into the hands of terrorists.
So getting the number of active nuclear weapons in American and Russian hands down to 1,000 each, and dis-mantling all of the “reserve” and stockpiled weapons, is probably Obama’s real goal. The “Global Zero” rhetoric is mainly useful for bringing the old peace movement along for the ride. (And why would they complain? The essence of any political strategy is finding partners to ride with you at least part of the way to your destination.)
However, to get Russia to sign up to a mere 1,000 nuclear weapons, Obama will have to give up on ballistic missile defence. The Russians are hugely inferior to the Americans militarily by every other measure, so they cherish their nuclear parity. Effective US missile defences, if they could ever be made to work, would fatally undermine that parity.
Of course they never have been made to work reliably, even though the United States has deployed them in a couple of places.
But the Russians have a childlike faith in (or rather, fear of) American technologi-cal prowess, so ballistic mis-sile defence systems have to go.
Abandoning them would involve Obama in an immense battle with the Republican right, and he’s not going to start that battle in an elec-tion year. But that is what President Obama and Dmitri Medvedev, the outgoing Russian president, were really talking about in Seoul when they were caught on an open mike.
Obama told Medvedev: “On all these issues, but particu-larly missile defense, this can be solved but it’s important for [incoming Russian presi-dent Vladimir Putin] to give me space. … This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.” And so he may.

THOMPSON (NEE MOEN), DOREEN —
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Doreen Thompson. Doreen passed away peacefully on the morning of March 27, 2012 in Columbia View Lodge with family by her side. She was born on F e b r u a r y 1, 1934 in Trail.
Doreen spent her early years growing up in a large family of eleven children in Trail and Fruitvale. At the age of 21, she married the love of her life, Jim Thompson. They began their married life on a little farm just out-side of Fruitvale, where they raised seven children. She loved dancing and listening to music. A devoted mother and wife, she always put her family first. Doreen watched with pride as her family expanded to include 14 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren with a few more on the way. In her later years, she enjoyed spending time at the mall with her friends, playing Keno and going on day trips with family. She was always quick to laugh, throw in a joke or sit down for a cup of coffee to chat. As her health declined, Doreen spent the last two years with caring staff and new friends at Columbia View Lodge.
She was predeceased by husband Jim in 2002, great-granddaughter Zoey in 2011, siblings Victor, Martin, Harold, Margaret, Selma, Bernie, Ruth, Calvin and her twin-sister Jaqueline. She is survived by her seven children Rick (Elaine), Cliff (Teresa), Wendy, Shelley (Grant) Chisan, Michael (Eveline), James and Kelly (Erin) as well as her brother Roald and many grandchildren, great-grand-children, nieces, nephews and in-laws.
A private ceremony will be held at a future date. The family would like to thank the staff at Columbia View Lodge, home support and Dr. Neil for all of their care in the final years of her life.
As expression of sympathy, donations can be made to the Fruitvale United Way.

OBITUARIES
BY TOBY GORMANNanaimo News Bulletin
David Knott and his family trav-elled to the Dominican Republic to unwind, relax and enjoy the sun-shine.
Instead, Knott was called upon to summon all his search and rescue training to perform a daring ocean rescue and save the life of a fellow Canadian.
On March 21, 12 days into a 14-day vacation in Puerto Plata, David, wife Heather, son Liam, who turned 11 that day, and daughter Mikhayla, 13, decided to take an ATV adventure tour while their other daughter, Kathryn, 16, enjoyed some downtime poolside.
“We’d gone for a dune buggy tour the week before and Liam saw the ATV tour come back with hardly any mud on them,” said David. “We were filthy after the dune buggies. Liam said he wanted to try the ATVs for his birthday.”
Two-thirds of the way through their tour, the group stopped at the edge of a boardwalk near a remote beach.
That’s when the cry for help came. David said a Spanish-speaking tour guide from another group approached his tour waving his arms and yelling excitedly. With voices elevated and concern on their faces, he knew something was wrong.
The group ran to the beach and spotted a man caught between the surging breakers to the right and “quite a distance” from shore.
As the group focused on him, David scanned the rest of the beach. About 300 yards in the other direc-tion, David and Heather spotted another person, this time further out between the fourth and fifth set of breakers.
“We saw one breaker crash over him and it was evident he was strug-gling,” said David. “Then we saw another breaker go over him and he didn’t come up. Then we spotted him floating.”
Knott volunteered with Nanaimo Search and Rescue for nine years and is currently an auxiliary RCMP member in Nanaimo, which requires him to undergo extensive police training. He works at the Nanaimo RCMP detachment as a police servi-ces employee.
All of his training, including swift water rescue, came flooding back, and David and Heather dashed to help the listless second victim.
“I knew I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t try to do something,” said David. “I looked at Heather and said
‘I have to go.’”Heather, who also has SAR train-
ing, went to higher ground to guide her husband through the crashing breakers. An off-shore storm was approaching, and the riptide in the water was gaining strength. The breakers were relentless.
“I knew he knew what he was doing,” said Heather of David.
“There wasn’t any panic. I was just waiting for the moment when David was able to see the guy, to make contact.”
With waves crash-ing over him, David reached the victim and called out to him. There was no response. Finally, David grabbed
him by the scruff of his shirt and guided him back to shore, where it took several people to carry the listless man to a safe place on the beach.
He was breathing and semi-con-scious, so David prevented anyone from administering CPR.
“I’ve never seen that much water come out somebody’s nose and mouth,” he said. “He was gurgling a lot, but he was conscious.”
No medical help came. Miguel, who David estimates to be in his 20s, was taken to hospital and released two days later just prior to his flight home March 23. The first man found to be in trouble in the breakers closer to shore, was released from hospital later the same day.
According to their friend Stephanie Duval, who was at the scene, both recovered fully from their misadventure.
“They’re back to normal, feeling great,” wrote Duval in an e-mail to the Knotts on March 25. “They’re
looking forward to thanking you guys. You both were amazing and we can’t thank you enough for what you did.”
David said he believes the victims are from the Ottawa area. Both men were part of the other tour, though it is not known how they ended up in distress.
It’s possible, said David, they entered the water to cool off but went in too far and got caught in the rip current.
Scott Carpenter, a Canadian vacationer also at the scene, said he was grateful for the Knotts arriving when they did. He, too, had spot-ted Miguel and was contemplat-ing negotiating the breakers to help him, though he was uncertain of the conditions.
“I was quite shaken up in the days following once I realized how wrong things would have went if not for the timing of your arrival,” Carpenter wrote in an e-mail to the Knotts on March 27.
“If not for you and Heather show-ing up when you did I was about to go in, and that’s the part which gets me emotional because it was the two of you and fate why I’m able to write this today.”
The Knotts were not without emotion themselves. David said he was overcome with emotion sev-eral times riding back on the ATV immediately after the rescue, and he still finds it difficult to read Duval’s and Carpenter’s e-mails without getting choked up.
“The only words Miguel uttered to me were, ‘let me die’”, said David. “He was in shock. I told him, ‘I haven’t done all of this work to let you die’. In all my time with the police and SAR, I’d never been in a position like that, to save someone’s life.”

Beth DeCaprio, executive director of the Grace Foundation, holds Beyonce, left, a Dachshund puppy vying for the title of World’s Smallest Dog, and her mom Casey, a mixed Dachsund and Chihuahua. Animal rescuers in Northern California say Beyonce was so small at birth that she could fit into a spoon.
Small dog getting big attention
THE ASSOCIATED PRESSNEW YORK - A very
tiny puppy is sitting inside a coffee mug, trying without success to escape by scratching its little paws against the slippery surface. In recent days, this famous dog has been placed alongside a var-iety of small objects - an iPhone, a business card and a tape measure, among other things - to demonstrate just how tiny she really is.
This is Beyonce, a female dachshund mix who was born March 8 to a rescue dog that was found abandoned, wandering the streets of San Bernardino, Calif. At birth, she weighed just 1 ounce and could fit into a teaspoon. Her caretakers say she’s one of the smallest puppies ever born full-term.
“We had an ultra-sound done, and they actually saw that there were five puppies, but one was probably going to be stillborn,” says Beth Decaprio, executive director of the Grace Foundation of Northern California, which rehabilitates abused and neglected animals. “It didn’t look like a viable baby.”
Beyonce wasn’t breathing when she was born at the founda-tion’s farm in El Dorado Hills, Calif. A veterinar-
ian tried to revive her by performing chest compressions. Then he passed her over to Decaprio.
“I blew a couple little breaths in her mouth,” Decaprio says. “And she started to breathe on her own.”
At 3 weeks old, Beyonce is now about the size of an iPhone, but she isn’t cowed by her much bigger broth-ers and sisters. She crawled on top of the wriggling puppies as they nursed, trying to push them out of the way.
“They just consider her another sibling,” Decaprio says. “But she is a survivor, and she’s a tough little one.”
Beyonce, whose caretakers wanted to give her a “big” name, is not yet up for adoption, though the foundation has received hundreds of requests from people who want to take her home. When she’s stronger the founda-tion will decide wheth-er to give her away.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESSLOS ANGELES - Age
may creep up on man, but his best friend gets there at warp speed.
Going from pup to grandpup doesn’t leave much prime time under American Veterinary Medical Association labels that cats and small dogs are geriat-ric at seven - and large dogs at six.
But not everyone agrees, and rescuers say those definitions can be a death sentence to older animals in need of homes.
Dr. Emily Pointer, staff internist and med-ical co-ordinator at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in New York, said she considers the last third of life the sun-set years.
“That seems fairly crazy,” she said of the AMVA designations. “I would never consider a person in their 40s or 50s to be senior.”
The AVMA said the oldest cat on record was 34, the oldest dog was 29.
Forget the notion
that seven dog years equal one human year, the AVMA said. A seven-year-old dog weighing less than 50 pounds is like a 44- to 47-year-old human; 10 equals 56- to 60-year-old humans; 15 is like a 76- to 83-year-old; and 20 is like a 96- to 105-year-old human, the group said.
Pet health improved in the 1950s and ‘60s when commercial dog food and vaccinations became popular and spaying and neuter-ing increased, said Stephen Zawistowski, ASPCA executive vice-president and science adviser.
Technology has advanced and today’s owners are more will-ing to go the distance for their pets, Pointer said.
“In the past, if your cat was diagnosed with diabetes, the recom-mendation was prob-ably to euthanize the cat. Now, a lot fewer people are willing to do that because it’s a treat-able disease,” Pointer said.
Kristin Dewey of Los Angeles has an 18-year-
old Ragdoll cat named Cokie. He fell from an 80-foot palm tree 16 years ago and seemed OK until four years ago when something tem-porarily paralyzed him and left him incontin-ent.
“Indoor-only cats that are loved and treated like family start to get old around 15 but can still live good lives until 19 or more. They may be a little creaky and have some health issues, but so do we all,” Dewey said.
Pointer agreed: “Well-loved pets live longer than unloved pets.”
“We find that most dogs become geriatric after age 12, and that at 12-ish they are like humans at 65,” said Judith Piper, founder and executive direc-tor of the rescue group Old Dog Haven in Lake Stevens, Wash.
Most shelters con-sider dogs old at eight, Piper said, so Old Dog Haven works with dogs eight and up.
The group tries to place the eight- to 12-year-olds they res-cue from shelters and
find final refuge homes for those over 12.
At age 14, Solomon is one of those final ref-uge or hospice dogs. Part Dalmatian and part German shepherd, he has been with Lisa Black for 30 months.
Black owns the Stardust Salon and Spa in Seattle and Solomon goes to work with her every day to greet cus-tomers. “If they don’t like him, it’s not the place for them,” Black said. “Old dogs are usu-ally good with other dogs and housebroken. They are easy and don’t require a lot of trips to the park. They are usu-ally happy with us and
do whatever we want.”Losing them is hard,
she said, but you focus on the dog. “It’s what Old Dog Haven does so they don’t end up alone in a shelter. We give them a happy ending,” Black said.
“It’s not so much that pets are living longer than their life expect-ancy, although they are, but we are taking better care of them and they are surviving long-er. Sixty is the new 40 is true for pets,” said Fadra Nally, a writer and blogger.
Nally figures large dogs to be old at eight and small dogs and cats old at nine or 10.
Vets say some pets geriatric at age 7
THE ASSOCIATED PRESSTORONTO - Three
elephants will travel from the Toronto Zoo to a sanctuary in California aboard a private plane thanks to longtime animal activ-ist Bob Barker.
The 88-year-old TV icon offered to fund the $880,000 flight after learning that one of the elephants wasn’t well enough to withstand the long trip by truck, Barker spokesman Henri Bollinger said Friday.
He said the Toronto Zoo agreed to move Thika, Iringa and Toka to the Performing Animals Welfare Society elephant sanc-tuary in San Andreas, Calif., in the Sierra foothills southeast of
Sacramento, but that one of the animals suf-fers from “a serious foot problem.”
Barker said the ele-phants “have suffered so much for so long and now they have an opportunity to live the rest of their lives at what has been described as ‘elephant paradise.’ To think that one of them might not survive the trip in a truck touched my heart and purse strings.”
The animals will
travel in crates aboard a Russian cargo jet.
Barker, who hosted “The Price Is Right” for decades before retiring in 2008, is a longtime animal activist who closed the game show each day by reminding viewers to have their pets spayed or neu-tered. He has donated millions of dollars to various animal welfare efforts and lobbied Congress for a bill that would prevent circuses from using elephants.

Not Good Enough!!!Ever felt this way? Not good enough? I suspect we all have at one point or another in our lives. Perhaps this was the feeling you had at home never being able to meet your parents expectations; or at school not being able to make the grade. Perhaps you (like I) have had that sinking moment when everyone else was picked for a team and you were one of the left-overs – not good enough to matter whose team you were on, so neither side picked you. Perhaps you have memories of a dance where you stood alone all night; or waiting expectantly for a phone call that never came. No matter how you experienced it, there are few worse feelings in life than feeling (somehow) you weren’t good enough, that (somehow) and in some way, you didn’t make the grade, or were lacking in some way.
In the church’s calendar, this coming Sunday is Palm Sunday. It is the Sunday we remember Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. Jesus came riding on a colt and the crowds went wild with excitement. In Matthew’s gospel we read that “Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” (Matthew 21:8-11, ESV)
There was a lot of excitement in Jesus’ coming – at least for a while, a very short while as it turns out! You see, Jesus’ didn’t meet people’s expectations either! Who Jesus was, and what he
was about was not what people were interested in. The crowds were looking for a leader, a military leader. They were looking for someone they could rally around in their struggle against the Romans. So within a week, the excited cries of “Hosanna, hosanna” changed to “Crucify him, crucify him” as Jesus was rejected by the people in favour Barabbas, a murdering rebel held in Roman custody. Jesus just wasn’t good enough and was rejected, crucified on a cross between two thieves.
Thankfully for us however the story does not end there, for this Jesus who was rejected and deemed not ‘good enough’ by the world was the one God used to restore our relationship with Him. Jesus Christ was God’s only Son, and Jesus died on the cross taking the punishment for all our wrongdoing so that, through Him, our relationship with God might be restored. This is Good News for us, for what it means is this: I was important enough to God, and you were important enough to God, that God did everything that needed to be done to restore our relationship with Him. In God’s eyes you are (indeed) good enough. You don’t need to get your ‘life in order’ first, in order for God to love you – He loves you now, and just as you are!
If you haven’t done so already, know that all of heaven himself is waiting in joyful anticipation for you put your faith and trust in Christ Jesus and to receive the peace, love, joy and forgiveness God has in store for you. Know that you are good enough! Know that you are loved! Know that God welcomes you, as he welcomes us all - now and just as you are. Thanks be to God!

Non-governmental organizations (NGO) play a vital role in promoting justice and in building peace. The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development
and Peace, an NGO that I am familiar with, recent-ly learned that the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) has drastic-ally reduced its funding.
From 2006-2011, CIDA contributed $44.6 million to Development and Peace. Over the next five years, CIDA will contribute a paltry $14.5 million, and has stipulated that this money can only be used in 7 of the 30 countries where the organ-ization operates. Only 1 African country is on the CIDA list. This is shocking since the continent is plagued with problems.
NGOs make an important contribution to the global community. Development and Peace, for example, works with other voluntary international agencies to promote sustainable development, to reduce poverty, to empower women, and to pro-tect human rights in the Global South. This is the work of peace building, and it benefits all of us.
I recently had the opportunity to hear Mam Sambath, the executive director of Development and Partnership in Action (DPA), a Cambodian NGO and partner with Development and Peace, speak about his organization’s successes and chal-lenges. DPA’s work in education, natural resource management, food security, and health are help-ful in understanding the important contribution that NGOs make to the global community.
Some specific DPA projects include literacy training for women, building schools, and provid-ing scholarships, especially for girls. Educating communities in proper agricultural techniques, livestock management, and fish culture secures the food supply, and increases income. Literacy and agricultural projects raise the standard of liv-ing throughout the community.
The development of sustainable land projects protects the land, and honors the deep connec-tion between indigenous people and the land. Advocacy for indigenous land rights helps com-munities obtain legal land titles that provide some protection against exploitation.
Simple measures improve health. Water pumps, filter containers and hand washing reduce the incidence of disease. Mosquito nets protect against malaria and dengue fever.
While projects improve the standard of living, it is more difficult to impact government attitudes that contribute to systemic injustice that threaten peace. Cambodia’s experience of gender inequal-ity, illiteracy, poverty, and the exploitation of indigenous communities is a common story; so is the people’s desire to live in peace and with dignity.
In my view, government funding of NGOs is taxpayer dollars well spent. NGOs effective-ly and efficiently pursue peace through projects that fashion a more equitable and compassionate world, where all people share in the good gifts of the earth. Without respect for the dignity and rights of all people, there can be no peace.
The Canadian government continues to cut funding to humanitarian organizations. In the long run, this may contribute to sustaining con-flict, rather than promoting peace.

BY BARRY COULTERCranbrook Townsman
A new era has begun in the East Kootenay forest industry, with the completion of Canfor’s purchase of Tembec assets in the region.
On Monday, Canfor President and CEO Don Kayne visited the area to oversee the launch of that new era.
“We’re thrilled to be here now,” Kayne said, in an interview in what is now the Canfor office on Cranbrook Street. “We’ve made a big commitment to the East Kootenay. We have the Radium mill here, plus Elko and Canal Flats ... overall in the south here we’ve a much bigger position than we’ve had in a long time.”
The Vancouver-based forest products company announced in November, 2011, that it had reached an agree-ment with Tembec Industries Ltd. to take over the Elko and Canal Flats sawmills, and approximately 1.1 million cubic metres of combined Crown, pri-vate land and contract annual allowable cut. The transaction - worth about $60 million -
includes a long-term residual fibre supply agreement for Tembec’s Skookumchuck mill.
“Overall, the indus-try has been through pretty tough times over the past five years,” Kayne said. “But about a year ago we started to see some optimism out there - as small as it was at the time, it was at least enough for us to make some com-mitments from a cap-ital standpoint to really focus on modernizing our mills … and get-ting competitive with
the best sawmills in the world.
“So we’ve been on that program for about a year and a half. And at the same time, we’re looking for opportun-ities to improve our overall fibre position and overall quality of the fibre that we have as a company.
“So this opportunity came up with Tembec over the last 12 months that we been focused hard on this area.”
Kayne said the qual-ity of the fibre, or the wood itself, in the East
Kootenay is “second to none.”
“You could prob-ably use those words to describe it across Canada,” he said. “We really believe it’s some of the best fibre you’ll find absolutely any-where.
“There’s a heavy spruce here, it’s big-ger wood, it’s white wood, there’s not a lot of beetle in this area - this region has all the things our global cus-tomers are looking for in terms of quality.”
Kayne said Canfor has focused “for many years on our customer
base and marketing side of the business in a huge way. And this fibre that we’re acquir-ing down here, in con-junction with what we already have up in the Peace Country and certain pockets in the Central Interior, gives us an optimum fibre quality with which to work from going for-ward.”
Kayne also said there’s a good chance the Radium mill will open again. Right now the company is looking at how best to allocate capital resources across the region.
CASTLEGAR –The dust has cleared after an intense con-test and the best and brightest of Selkirk College’s Business Administration program have shone through as winners of the seventh Annual Business Competition.
Held March 15, the Business Competition chal-lenged first and second year business students to research and present solutions to busi-ness problems.
First-year students had to come up with a marketing strategy for the Selkirk Saints hockey team, while second-year students researched how to put on a bridal showcase.
Fourteen teams of first-year students faced off and presented their Selkirk Saints marketing campaigns through interactive displays in a trade-fair format.
Booths contained every-thing from on-screen displays to mini hockey games and a home-made Selkirk Saints computer game.
A team of three judges from the local business com-munity scored their work and
in the end, Kootenay Sports Management – Katherine Barrera, Sarah Rintoul and Rob Squires – took first place. Synergy Consulting – Brittany Horswill, Erik Martin and Lauren Zanier – came in second place and Overtime Innovations – Guy Dilena, Cameron Opperman and Shawn Reichert – scored third place. Kootenay Sports Management also won stu-dents’ choice award.
“I have been judging the first-year marketing stu-dents for the past six years and students are always under a lot of pressure,” says Marketing Competition judge and Selkirk College Program Marketing Coordinator, Sharon Stoddart.
“This year, students came up with some innovative ideas for marketing our Saints hock-ey team that can be imple-mented right away.”
Six second-year teams competed in the Business Case Competition and pre-sented their take on a bridal showcase scenario directly to four judges from the local
business community. While the judges said their decision was a difficult one because all the teams did very well, in the end BETS Incorporated – Todd Hoodicoff, Brielle Hwalstad, Evan Richtsfeld and Sam Thor-Larsen – took first place and students’ choice award.
They were followed by BEST Consulting – Scott Jago, Teresa Mah, Erika Swanson, and Breeanne van Zanden – in second place and New-Mark – Alex Donaldson, Amanda Fulton, Lindsay Kooznetsoff and Dakota Moreau – in third place. The judges chose Brielle Hwalstad as the top student in the Business Administration program for 2012.
“Compared to the previous competitions, what was most outstanding was the level of teamwork and collaboration that was demonstrated,” said the Business Case Competition judges in a statement.
Program Advisor for Business Administration, Tiffany Snauwaert said this year’s competition was a bit of an experiment with the change to a trade-fair format,
but she’s pleased with the results.
“It was intense and stress-ful for the students, but it was really good practice for their future careers in business,” says Snauwaert.
“It was a very good active learning experience. It exposed them to a real-life scenario in a controlled environment.
“My participation in the 2012 Business Competition was a great experience,” says first-year business administra-tion student, Justin Sotkowy. “I think Selkirk has presented students with a great oppor-tunity to showcase the skills they have acquired in a realis-tic environment.”
Winning teams won cer-tificates, tuition vouchers and cash prizes in the competi-tion, and a number of other door prizes were handed out at the event.
Selkirk College’s two-year Diploma of Business Administration is unique in that it offers a business com-petition with mandatory par-ticipation for all students.

THE ROSSLAND NEWSWith spring just
around the corner many Rosslanders are eagerly anticipating warmer days and the sight of that first crocus in bloom!
However, one small
group of locals is look-ing further ahead, all the way to September and Rossland’s Golden City Days 2012 celebration.
Planning for this annual family event has already begun and the
first meeting of organiz-ers is set for early April.
We hope to come up with some new event ideas, fun local entertain-ment and food and craft vendors, as well as to bring back some Golden
City Days favourites like “Stake your Claim” and the Saturday morning parade.
If you can spare an hour or two on the week-end of Sept. 7, 8 and 9, helping where needed
around town, please let us know.
For more information or to pass on your ideas please contact us
Terry at [email protected] or Hilary at [email protected]

Inspiration (to be influenced or moved by) comes from many dif-
ferent places sights and feelings. Images evoked from these can be turned into anything
we put our minds to creating.
I found inspiration in abun-dance when I attended the Northwest Flower and G a r d e n Show in Seattle a few weeks ago. The aisles were full of interesting gar-den wears and feature garden displays. I saw a varied array of bubbling water features, garden gazebos, and archways. Brightly colored per-ennial borders led me to secluded reading retreats or elaborate entertaining areas. My camera worked over-time capturing as many images as I could. And when I scrolled through my photos I visualized the possibilities for a feature garden. From these different ideas I began pulling images that soon developed into a concept for that next fabulous back yard retreat.
I attended several
s e m i n a r s , my favorites being “The H u m a n Garden” by Jamie Durie of HGTV,” Gardening W i t h C o n i f e r s ” by Richard B i t t n e r
and “The Secrets of Combining Plants” by Steven Aitken of Fine Gardening magazine. The hour long sem-inars were filled with lots of constructive and practical ideas mixed with humorous stories and vibrant pictures. Question and answer opportunities allowed the audience to partici-pate and answer that most commonly asked question “how do I get my garden space to look like that”. Book signings by the speakers gave another moment to connect with these knowledgeable individ-uals. All left me visual-izing fantastic possibil-ities.
For those who don’t have the opportunity
to attend such a show, inspiration can come from any number of other forms. Many glossy garden maga-zines containing plant information, garden design and many other helpful articles are available on newsstands every month. There is an endless library of hardcover and soft cover books that are available at any price point and there is some-thing for every type of gardener out there. A stroll through nature can afford an amaz-ing canvas of ideas. I make sure to take every opportunity to hike in every season. This allows me a very differ-
ent perceptive whether in the snows of winter amongst the fabulous fall colors or basking in the heat of a summer day or stumbling upon the newly emerging ten-der spring plants. Pay close attention to what Mother Nature offers in the way of trees, shrubs or small unusual plants like mushrooms and wildflowers. This often gives me the inspira-tion of a shape or color needed for a garden plant. I bring my cam-era, a sketch pad to capture these images or a notepad and pen to write down ideas not captured by my cam-era. Keeping a portfolio of photos, magazines
articles and written notes helps to organize these ideas.
A good idea cannot be forced. It can come to you at the most unexpected moment. Even a treasure pot or funky chair can begin the inception of an idea.
I have drawn my inspiration from all of these forms at one time or another and delight in putting a plan together and seeing it to its completion.

Pride fighter, one of world’s bestBY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports EditorFor Morgan-River Jones being
the number-three-ranked amateur in the world is not as big a deal as it sounds, but for most Mixed Martial Arts observers, to achieve the high ranking in such a short time is indeed impressive.
Jones first began training with Pride Gym about three years ago, and since putting on the gloves she has gone undefeated in five bouts and has risen from relative obscurity to one of the best amateur female fighters in the world in her 135-pound class.
“She (Jones) has developed into a great fighter in a short time,” said Pride Gym trainer Glen Kalesniko. “She has, because she is the hardest working fighter, she is disciplined and self-motivated - a trifecta for being a champion.”
It didn’t take much convincing for her to cross the hall from Performance Fitness, where she had been working out, and take up kick-boxing at Pride. It was a natural progression and one that fit her perfectly.
“A friend of a friend had men-tioned that Glen (Kalesniko) had always kind of hoped I would find my way in there just because I looked strong and liked the kind of work ethic I had in the gym,” said Jones. “I dragged my sister to a couple free (kick-boxing) classes and I had the greatest time from the first time I was in there and I’ve just never stopped.”
Jones has always been involved in sport. She grew up in Nelson, down-hill skiing, dancing and sparring in a karate dojo.
A self-described Type A person-ality, Jones is naturally driven and competitive, and the constant and unrelenting workouts became one of the more compelling elements of MMA fighting for her.
“The intensity just really matched the way I liked to work out. I just picked it up really fast; the striking aspect is just something I got right away, that also helped me to keep doing it . . . I’m one of the few people that actually enjoys the whole pro-cess.”
Jones beat previously undefeated Robin Woods at Caged Rage 5 in Castlegar last October and will face another undefeated and highly tout-ed foe in Jade De Haas from Texas at this year’s Fight Night.
After just five fights, Jones has developed rapidly and become accus-tomed to battling in the ring, but is somewhat modest when it comes to
her world amateur ranking. There are fewer female fighters,
says Jones, so moving up in the rank-ings is not as difficult as it is for the men.
However, it does have its chal-lenges.
The paradox of women’s MMA is an outstanding fighter like Jones can rapidly move up the rankings, yet it is also difficult to get the necessary matches that enable her to advance.
“It’s kind of a double-edge sword in that it can be really challenging to find opponents. I’ve had so many people back out of my fights, so it can be really frustrating, but the other side to that is that there is the oppor-tunity to move ahead a little bit faster because there’s not as much competi-tion and your name sort of gets out there a bit faster.”
A win in her upcoming battle with number-12 ranked De Haan will fur-ther solidify Jones’ status as one of the best amateur MMA fighters in the world, and there is no place she
would rather do it than at home. “I’ve been fortunate to fight in
front of some awesome hometown crowds so it’s always a bonus when you can hear them cheering you on.”
In all, 15-fights are on tap with four main events featuring Pride Gym’s Brad Causey, Jordan Knippelbrg, and Jones with Stefan Fricta back to defend the title he won at last year’s event.
AM Ford Fight Night kicks off at 7 p.m. Apr. 14 at the Trail Memorial Centre, with weigh-ins going at the Crown Pointe Hotel at 7 p.m. on Apr. 13. Residents can check out the fight-ers and get primed for the biggest night of the year.
Ringside tickets go for $125, VIP tickets $80, $50 for floor seats and $30 general seating or pick them up at the door for $10 more.
Tickets are on sale Pride Gym, Performance Fitness, AM Ford, Wolf’s Den, Gericks Cycle, Element, Fruitvale Pharmacy and Tribute Board Shop.

KIJHL FINAL
B.V. Nitehawks come out flying
in Game 2 BY JIM BAILEY
Times Sports EditorThe Beaver Valley
Nitehawks came out with conviction on Thursday night, as they jumped out to a 3-1 first period lead against the Kelowna Chiefs and never looked back, skating to a 7-1 victory in Game 2 of the KIJHL final.
Dallas Calvin would net the winner, counting his first of three on the night, on a power play marker at 6:07 of the first.
After the Chiefs P. J. Lawler took a penalty for slashing, the Nitehhawks AP Jake Lucchini made a pretty pass to Calvin at the point who blasted it past Kelowna goalie Tyler O’Donnell to make it 2-1.
The Nitehawks came out flying in the first but it was Kelowna that started the scor-ing at 14:47. A quick face off win in the Hawks zone set up Tre Mason who snapped it past Zach Perehudoff to put the Chiefs up 1-0.
But the lead was short lived, as the Hawks Dallas Calvin skated in over the blue line cut across the front of the net drawing a defenceman and goalie before neatly send-ing a slick pass over to Tyler Collins who deposited in the open cage to tie it at one.
“I thought we got off to a great start, even though Kelowna managed to get the first goal, I thought we responded really well with our forecheck, it was pretty relent-less tonight and I thought our defensive play was top notch,” said Hawks assistant coach Jeremy Cominotto.
The Nitehawks continued to press, winning every battle in the corner and executing a smothering forecheck that paid dividends.
Following Calvin’s goal to make it 2-1, Nick Perez
scored his first of two on the night with just over two min-utes remaining in the open-ing frame. Calvin carried the puck into the Chiefs end, waited and hit the trailing defenceman with a pass that Perez wired low glove-side to make it 3-1 heading into the second.
The Nitehawks never let up, and were even more impres-sive scoring two more high-light goals, with Derochie set-ting up Perez for his second of the night and Lucchini making a dazzling move on a break away to make it 5-1 going into the third.
“That was one of the things we talked about tonight, was showing a little more patience and maybe out waiting the goaltender a little bit more, and I thought our guys did a great job of that so far.”
Calvin added two more late in the third to give him five-points on the night and first-star honours, while Lucchini was named second star, and Zach Perehudoff third star, making 24 saves, in another solid outing. Tyler Collins also had a goal and two assists.
Mason Spear missed his second game with a shoul-der injury and is uncertain for Game 3, while Brantley Shapansky is day-to-day with a sore shoulder, after laying down numerous crushing blows in the opening game.
In what was arguably the best game the Nitehawks have played since the Castlegar series, they look to carry it over into Games 3 and 4 in Kelowna this weekend.
“We have a lot of skill on this team and when we get the puck moving and our feet moving, magic can happen,” added Cominotto.
The Nitehawks next home game will be Tuesday at 7 p.m. if necessary.

They are kids, I get that, but the closeness of the score in Beaver Valley Wednesday night had no business, history-wise, existing.
Beaver Valley had the best season, among many very good seasons in its history, in a long while in 2011-2012. Kelowna squeaked into the playoffs in fourth place in a very weak Okanagan division, accumulating 31 fewer points than the Nitehawks. Beaver Valley outscored Kelowna by 101 goals and surrendered 54 fewer than the Chiefs.
The Hawks are bigger and faster than the Chiefs, their goalies have played better, statis-tically, than Kelowna’s, against better playoff competition and Beave Valley was playing at home.
No contest, right.That is why, as they say, they play the game.It came down to Beaver Valley scrambling to protect a one-
goal lead in the final minute, against six on four pressure, and only a fluky 160-foot empty-netter sealed the deal.
That was surprise number one. Surprise number two was the fact the Hawks’ Nest was not
full. It was pretty full relative to regular season attendance, but there were empty seats and empty spots on the rail, good sight lines for all. The 50-50 total was about a fifth of the one for game seven of series two.
I did not see any games in the Fernie series, but am told they were not packed, either. What’s up with that?
Part of the reason the Nest was so jammed last time I was there was, of course, a large con-tingent of Castlegar supporters were in house. Several Beaver Valley fans (generally of the alti-tude-challenged variety) complained afterward that because the crowd was so large they had difficulty seeing the ice surface. A few of those even suggested it would have been better had the game been played at Cominco Arena.
Well, folks, if you cannot fill the limited con-fines of Beaver Valley Arena for a championship series involving a Nitehawks team that shows the potential to win the KIJHL and B.C. (Cyclone Taylor Cup) championships and even make
a strong Western Canadian title (Keystone Cup) run, there obviously isn’t enough interest in the valley team to justify even thinking about a larger venue.
The weather was reasonable for driving or walking to the rink. The game was really important and turned out to be really exciting. The only game on the tube featured a Vancouver Canucks team which is even more boring to watch without Daniel Sedin and really hasn’t much to play for.
This will be too late to make a difference for game two, which was potentially the last chance for Nitehawks’, “fans,” to see the team in action this year.
I hope while I was there I saw the Nest packed and rocking. The team, and the organization, deserve no less.
In case there is a game five, it will be played next Tuesday at the Beaver Valley Barn. Mark your calendar, and show up.

U.S. upsets CanadaHAMAR, Norway – Canada’s National Sledge
Team will meet the Czech Republic for the bronze medal at the 2012 IPC Sledge Hockey World Championship following a 2-1 loss to the United States in Thursday’s semifinal.
In the other semifinal, Korea beat the Czech Republic 2-0 to advance to the gold medal game for the first time ever.
Canada has only faced the Czech Republic once in international competition, earning a 3-0 preliminary round victory at the 2009 IPC Sledge Hockey World Championship.
On Thursday, Canada got a goal from Adam Dixon (Midland, Ont.) midway through the third period to pull to within a goal but the Canadians could get no closer, falling to the Americans in the semifinals for the second consecutive world championship despite outshooting their North American rivals 16-6, including 7-0 in the final period.
“We came here with the mindset of winning a world championship, so obviously we’re dis-appointed,” said Mike Mondin, head coach of Canada’s National Sledge Team. “But we’ve still got an opportunity to win a medal, and we’re going to make sure we’re ready for the Czechs on Sunday.”
Canada finished first in Group B during the preliminary round with a 3-0 record, including wins over Italy (3-1), Korea (2-0) and Norway (4-1).
In five appearances at the IPC Sledge Hockey World Championship, Canada has won two gold medals (2000, 2008) and two bronze medals.
THE CANADIAN PRESSKEY BISCAYNE,
Fla. - Canadian Daniel Nestor and partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus advanced to the final of the Sony Ericsson Open with a command-ing 6-2, 6-4 victory over India’s Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna on Thursday.
The No. 2-seed duo will play for their third title of 2012 when they take on the win-
ners between top-seeds Bob and Mike Bryan and No. 7-seeds Leader Paes of India and Czech Radek Stepanek.
Nestor and Mirnyi will try Saturday to add Miami to trophies this year in Brisbane in January and Memphis in February.
The Canadian’s team swept the open-ing set in 21 minutes as Bhupathi and Bopanna continue a partner-ship formed only this season to prepare for the London Olympic Games.

THE CANADIAN PRESSTORONTO - Little children should be
moving more and sitting less, according to new recommendations that are being billed as the first Canadian guidelines for physical activity and sedentary behaviour for chil-dren four and younger.
Kids younger than two shouldn’t spend any time in front of a screen - be it a TV, a computer or a tablet, the guidelines say. And for children aged two to four, screen
time should be limited to less than an hour a day.
“There’s no redeeming feature of screen time under the age of two,” says Mark Tremblay, who chaired the committee that drew up the guidelines and is lead author of two scientific papers which analyzed of about 40 published studies to come up with the two sets of guidelines.
“Don’t use screens as hypnotic elements to entertain them, to just pass time. It’s not
advantageous for the healthy growth and development of a child to do that.”
The guidelines suggest children under one should be allowed to partake in active play several times daily - including things like tummy time, reaching and grasping and crawling.
For kids aged one to four, parents should aim for three hours of activity a day. The activity can be any kind, Tremblay says, and doesn’t have to be rigorous. Walking, crawl-
ing, playing - anything but sitting. By age five, children should be spending at least an hour a day in energetic play - activities like hopping, skipping and bike riding.
Over the last quarter century, the obes-ity rate has nearly tripled among children and youth, the pediatrics society notes in its statement. As many as 26 per cent of kids between two and 17 years are now over-weight or obese, and that number jumps to 41 per cent among First Nations children.

The student-painted murals on 10th Avenue North and around the Cook Street parking lot may not be around much longer.
Coun. Jerry Schmalz
relayed concerns from the Community Pride commit-tee to town council, and suggested that the murals, which are over 15 years old and showing signs of age, be painted over or replaced.
“We would have council
write a letter to the school district to find out if they are interested in enhancing them,” said Schmalz. “And if not, we are going to paint them over.”
Community Pride, which is funded by the town, also
requested that the town spend $150 to register for Communities in Bloom.
Registering for the pro-gram and contest allows Creston get advice on how to improve, and then be in stronger position to do it
later. Council passed the motion, although not with-out some concerns.
“Isn’t this a water hog?” asked Coun. Wes Graham.
“There are a lot of drought resistant plants,” explained Coun. Tanya Ducharme.

LEISURE
Dear Annie: I’m 20 and attending col-lege near my parents’ home. Despite what my Catholic family wants, I’ve been exploring other religions for the past five years and have decided that Judaism is the right road for me. I want to let my family in on this process, but I’m afraid they’ll react badly and insist that my Jewish fiance is swaying my decision.
My mother is start-ing to pick up on the fact that I haven’t been going to church with her. She has informed me that she would be greatly insulted if I became Jewish, because all those years of putting me through Catholic school would be for naught. She recently hoped loudly that eventually I would “do the right thing and come back.” I’m tired of lying when they ask where I go on Friday evenings. Help? -- At the Crossroads
Dear Crossroads: There is some validity
to the claim that your fiance may be influen-cing your decision, but that is to be expected. Even if he isn’t mak-ing a concerted effort to convert you, his preferences and beliefs would be persuasive on their own.
We respect the fact that you have spent five years considering your decision, which indicates you’ve done a great deal of think-ing. But we also recog-nize that most of this five-year period took place while you were a teenager and quite young for such a life-changing decision. Regardless, please stop lying to your parents. If this is the path you
have chosen, you must be able to stand up for your beliefs in the face of their disappoint-ment. The sooner you start the more time they will have to recon-cile themselves to the situation. You also can enlist the help of your rabbi.
Dear Annie: I am writing this to help military families who are at home while their spouses are deployed. As a military spouse for 20 years, I am some-times overwhelmed, exhausted and isolat-ed. Deployments are lengthy, and training adds to the time we are separated. Life is chal-lenging.
We often encoun-ter people who want to thank my husband for his service. I thank them for their support. But if you know of a military spouse who is alone, here are a few suggestions:
Offer to babysit for free. Older children often miss out on even-ing events because
younger siblings need to be in bed or it’s too difficult to take them all to the event. Offer to drive the children to practices or games and supervise them. Include their children in your family outings, and give the military spouse an afternoon off.
Take a meal to the family. A frozen casser-ole is a treat on a hectic day. Or treat them to a meal out. Anywhere.
Offer to mow the lawn, wash the car, check under the hood or take a pet to the vet. Check on them when the weather is extreme. Send their spouse a let-ter. Call and ask what you can do to help.
Please help the mil-itary by helping out military families. A little kindness goes a long way. -- A Soldier’s Spouse Anywhere
Dear Soldier’s Spouse: Thank you for reminding our readers of the simple things they can do to help out our servicemen and
women and the fam-ilies that stand behind them.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Old in Indiana,” the 90-year-old woman who won-dered how to divide her possessions among her daughters and
daughters-in-law. Several years before
my lovely mother passed away, she had all her valuables appraised. Then, in her own handwriting, she wrote who got what next to each piece. I encourage everyone to
do the same. It made a difficult time so much easier when we knew we were honoring her wishes. I consid-er it her final gift to us. -- Missing Mom in Maryland
TODAY’S CROSSWORD
SOLUTION FOR YESTERDAY’S SUDOKU
Sudoku is a number-plac-ing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each col-umn and each 3x3 box contains the same num-ber only once. The diffi-culty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Friday.

LEISURE
For Saturday, March 31, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Focus on home and domes-tic matters today. Discussions with a parent could be signif-icant. You also might want to hide or relax at home today. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A busy day! Short trips, errands, reading and writ-ing, plus increased time with siblings and relatives, will keep you on the run today. “I’m late! I’m late, for a very important date!” GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Focus on financial mat-ters today. Stay in touch with your bank accounts. A major purchase could be something you’re considering now. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you a bit more emotional than usual. However, it also can bring you a bit of extra good luck!
Yay! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Any time spent alone, espe-cially in beautiful surround-ings, will please you. You need to have a bit of privacy just to pull your act together today. (We all need this at times.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Conversations with a female friend will be impor-tant today. You might want to confide something about your dreams for the future (or perhaps someone wants to talk to you). LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Briefly, you will catch the attention of people in author-ity today, so it’s good to be aware of this. You might turn this to your advantage, or not. This might be a good time to ask for something. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is quite a favorable day for you, especially with
respect to publishing, the media, higher education, medicine and the law. You’ll also enjoy travel or making travel plans. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Discussions about taxes, debt, inheritances and shared property could be productive today. It’s good to clear up worrisome loose details if you can. (“I’m free!”)
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is directly oppo-site your sign. (Hey, what’s a little compromise?) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Do whatever you can to get better organized. You’re also focused on your health, and would like to do something to improve it. Any ideas?
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Take some time off to play today. Watch a game, see a movie, enjoy playful activi-ties with children. Or just goof off somehow! YOU BORN TODAY You have a fighting instinct that serves you well. You don’t give up. In fact, you like to find a com-fortable theme in your life to embrace. (You like what is familiar.) Nevertheless, you are personally very original.
People like working with you because of your eccentrici-ties. In the year ahead, an important choice will present itself. Choose wisely. Birthdate of: Christopher Walken, actor; Samantha Brown, TV travel host; Ewan McGregor, actor. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

would like to thank the following:Dr Scully, you promised mom she would be well looked after until the end, and she was. Cathy at People’s Drug Mart, you
are simply a treasure. 3rd floor nurses who ensured mom’s final days were comfortable and secure. Her friends at Esling Park Lodge for the many kindnesses – known and unknown – you are very special people. Father Joseph and Brother
Gerald, your words of comfort strengthened and consoled. The choir, pianist and CWL for the honour guard and luncheon afterwards. The Portz families for the service flowers as delicate and as beautiful as mom. Bill Clark and staff, who guided us so professionally
and caringly. And lastly, to all who offered masses, gifts of food, cards, prayers, phone calls
– we simply say thank you and God bless.

BY CAROLYN GRANTKimberley Bulletin
Mayor Ron McRae recently attended a meeting with senior RCMP officials around the delivery of servi-ces in Kimberley and Cranbrook.
The primary discussion, McRae said, was around integration of the
Kimberley and Cranbrook detach-ments.
“Does it truly exist?” McRae said. “The conclusion was that although the intent was an integration model, full integration has never taken place. The senior RCMP officials wanted to know where Kimberley
and Cranbrook stand on the issues.”McRae said with the recent retire-
ment of Inspector Brian Edmondson a decision will have to be made on whether he will be replaced and under what model.
Another decision looming is whether to retrofit and upgrade the
cells at the Kimberley Detachment.An alternative approval process in
2011, gave Kimberley City Council the go ahead to borrow the funds for repairs to the RCMP detach-ment building and redo the cells. Kimberley had been sending prison-ers to Cranbrook cells.

For Sunday, April 1, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a wonderfully creative day for your sign! Meanwhile, of course, Aries is the artisan of the zodiac because you love arts and crafts, and working with your hands. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Entertain at home today. Invite the gang over. This is a feel-good day that affects your home and family in a positive way. (It’s a good day for real-estate dealings as well.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Expect to meet new faces and discover new places today. Today has lots of excit-ing twists and turns that sure-ly will teach you something new. Be open to this. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It’s very possible that you’ll think of ways to boost your income today. It’s also possi-ble that you’ll see many ways to spend your income as well! Guard your possessions and money, however.
LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel adventurous and spontaneous today. (It’s almost as if there’s more elec-tricity in the air.) You want to do something different, and you want to do it now! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Unexpected discoveries and research might make you leap for joy. Answers you’ve been seeking suddenly are star-ing at you in the face. Who knew? LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Meetings in classes, gyms, coffee bars or places of work will provide a few surprises for you today. Expect the unexpected. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Feelings of independence will make you rebel against bosses and authority figures today. You want to do your own thing, and you don’t want others telling you what to do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Travel plans look exciting,
but they might have to be modified or changed in some way. This is a wonderful day to study something new or explore new territory. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) A whole new spin on how shared property should be dealt with might come to you today. Alternatively, some-one might do a favor for you or give you a gift when you least expect it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Relations with partners and close friends are interesting and stimulating today. Some of you are surprised by unex-pected flirtations. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) New, high-tech equipment at work could be on the menu today. Others will find their work routine interrupted, but hopefully, for pleasant rea-sons. YOU BORN TODAY You are straightforward and sin-cere, and yet quite playful. People enjoy your company. Because you are wonderfully self-disciplined, many of you
skillfully master a particular technique. You set high stan-dards for yourself. Whatever you do, you want to do it the best you possibly can. Work hard to build or con-struct something in your year ahead, because your rewards will follow. Birthdate of: Wangari Maathai, Nobel laureate/environmentalist; Samuel R. Delany, author; Susan Boyle, singer.
For Monday, April 2, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might get caught up in sports or partying, and go over-board today. Just remember to line up a designated driver if you need one. Be smart and have no regrets. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’ll enjoy entertaining at home today. You feel that you want to do things in a big way, serving good food and drinks. You’ll be generous to family and guests. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be careful about promises you make to others, especially siblings and relatives. Don’t bite off more than you can chew (and you can chew a lot). CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be prudent with financial matters today. If you’re fearful that you’re spending too much money on something, listen to that little voice that is a warn-
ing. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a fun-loving, hap-py-go-lucky day for you. The Moon is in your sign, and you want to have fun! In fact, things will tend to go your way today. Yippee! VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It’s OK if you feel lazy today. Kick back and relax if you can. Everybody needs to have time off for rest and relaxation. (Even the government knows this.) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You’re very ambitious about attaining certain goals today. If you tell others about your ideas, they might think your reach exceeds your grasp. Oh well, who knows? SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Don’t promise more than you can deliver when talking to bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs today. After all, you don’t want to end up with egg on your face, do you? (Ketchup helps.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be reasonable in your trav-el plans today. You might be tempted to go overboard in some way. Make sure you don’t regret your decisions later. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) If sharing something or decid-ing on how something is divid-ed, don’t give away the farm today. It’s important that you
develop a healthy self-interest for your own protection. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Enjoy good times with part-ners and close friends today. People are big-hearted and generous to each other, which is gratifying. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might not feel like work-ing today, so just do the best you can. The truth is that every-one wants to play today and put work second. YOU BORN TODAY Many of you maintain a childlike, naive view of life. However, every-one can see you are honest and sincere. You have strong family values; nevertheless, you never give up your ide-als and dreams. You fantasize about the future. (You have a great imagination!) In the year ahead, a major change might occur, perhaps something as significant as what took place around 2003. Birthdate of: Hiroyuki Sakai, celebrity chef; Emmylou Harris, singer; Michael Fassbender, actor. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
