RCMP wage clause comes as no surprise to City of Trail

HAIRRAISING EXPERIMENT

BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

Since the province signed a new 20-year contract with the RCMP, a recent announcement of a pay increase over the next three years has come as a shock to some municipalities.

But Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs said the news does not surprise him and he is hopeful potential savings identified by Justice Minister Shirley Bond could entirely offset the pay raises.

The deal contains a three-year wage clause that boosts Mounties’ salaries by 1.75 per cent on Jan.1, adds another 1.5 per cent increase next January and a further 2 per cent jump in 2014.

“We don’t know – when you take the “For some increase and the communities ($195-million) savit’s a real ings – just where it’s all going to wash out,” said concern Bogs after a Trail counand they’re cil meeting Tuesday. definitely In the meantime, the city has planned going to lead accordingly under the the way if new contract to cover there is any costs for its 14 full-time members it employs revolt.” and has actually DIETER BOGS reduced its budget this year. Trail has set aside $1.39 million, knocking approximately $19,000 from last year’s total.

“For some communities it’s a real concern and they’re definitely going to lead the way if there is any revolt,” said Bogs. “We’re not going to be leading the way because we’re super concerned about it but we’re not in a desperate situation.”

Municipalities with more than 15,000 people pay 90 per cent of policing costs, with the federal government paying the remainder. Smaller municipalities like Trail, with a capita between 5,000 and 15,000 people, pay 70 per cent of the cost while communities with fewer than 5,000 residents pay far less.

City administrator David Perehudoff said he was advised of a 3.8 per cent hit this year due to the new RCMP contract, an approximate $52,000 hike from last year’s $1.41 million contract. But the city managed to cut costs substantially by

Women hanging shirts to foster change Next week marked as Prevention of Violence Against Women Week

BY VALERIE ROSSI Times Staff

Hanging laundry outside will serve a new purpose Monday when Greater Trail women exposed to domestic violence air out decorative shirts that speak of change.

For the first time, Trail FAIR (Family and Individual Resource Centre) Society is participating in The Clothesline Project that started over 20 years ago in the United States and has now

spread around the world.

Local women, who’ve been exposed to domestic and other forms of violence, have been tapping into their creative side by hand painting images and messages on T-shirts that reflect their experience and their desire for an abuse-free community.

Their work will be hung on a clothesline downtown outside Ferraro Foods from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. to recognize Prevention of Violence Against Women Week (April15-21).

“The creativity of the women is incredible and they have really appreciated an opportunity to send a message to the community about the need to end violence

against women,” said Gayle Ghosh, outreach worker at the Transition House and co-facilitator of the Tuesday afternoon women’s weekly drop-in group.

“We’ve supplied paints, brushes and T-shirts and the women have taken it from there. Each T-shirt is unique and sends its own special message about the issue.”

Family, friends and support workers – who are also exposed to the impact violence can have – are welcome to make their own creation with paints and shirts available at FAIR. The general public can also make a statement at the event, where supplies will be on site.

The shirts will later be displayed at the Trail and District Public Library for the remainder of the week.

One in four women will experience violence at some point in their life, according to Statistics Canada, which also notes that 20,000 women in B.C. will suffer from this crime annually. Almost half of these women have children, who will also be exposed.

FAIR continues to support women leaving abusive relationships with the WINS Transition House, which has 10 beds.

The organization also offers a second-stage program for women who have been in

Trail has already approved and signed the new contract for RCMP services while other municipalities like Terrace are now holding off until municipal governments across the province get some answers about wages. “To me that would be simply a political ploy because the way the agreement is set out you affectively have no choice unless you’re going to then look to provide service by some other means and the only means you can do at this point is to set up your own municipal police force,� said Perehudoff. “That would be more costly then contracting through the RCMP.�

REGIONAL SMOKE ALARMS

Campaign highlights need for maintenance

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

Every home needs one but there are a startling number that don’t.

Smoke alarms can save lives — and homes — if they are installed and working properly, according to a new province-wide campaign to get residential smoke alarms up and running and installed in every B.C. home.

The campaign, researched by Surrey Fire Services, has now descended into the Greater Trail region and is showing that almost 70 per cent of houses that caught fire in B.C. did not have a functioning smoke alarm.

The research predicts that working smoke alarms could reduce annual fire deaths by as much as 32 per cent. But it’s not enough to have a smoke alarm, said regional fire chief Terry Martin, you need to ensure the one you have is working.

“The old adage is you check your smoke alarms when you change your clocks,” during daylight savings time, he said. “But it would be better to check it on a monthly basis, it’s only in your best interest.”

The research findings also indicate the province’s most vulnerable populations, such as children and the elderly, face the highest risk of dying in a residential fire.

According to a University of the Fraser Valley study, there is a greater risk of fatality from residential structure fires for households with young children, older adults or people with disabilities; rental units; and house-

holds in low-income areas, in rural communities and on First Nations reserves.

The smoke alarm campaign — launched recently by B.C. Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond and the president of the Fire Chiefs’ Association of BC, Surrey fire chief Len Garis — intends to reduce fire-related deaths and injuries through properly working smoke alarms.

“Smoke alarms are supposed to be changed out every 10 years to make sure they are working,” said regional deputy fire chief Dan Derby.

Data from the Office of the Fire Commissioner shows that in 11,000 residential fires in B.C. from 2006 to 2011, nearly 70 per cent of the fire scenes examined either had no smoke alarm or the smoke alarm was not working.

“This is a very poor report card on the state of functioning smoke alarms in our province and country,” said Garis. “We’ve tackled this issue before, but this time we’ll be looking for permanent, sustainable solutions.”

The UFV study extrapolates that 69 deaths across Canada could be prevented each year if all Canadian homes had working smoke alarms.

The Fire Chiefs’ Association of BC and the Office of the Fire Commissioner will lead a steering committee of stakeholders on the local, provincial and national level, with a focus on the Three E’s of Injury Prevention: education; environment; and enforcement.

GRAND FORKS

‘Bear dude’ trial delayed

BY CASSANDRA CHIN Grand Forks Gazette

After being charged for feeding dangerous wildlife, Allen Piche’s sentencing has been delayed again until May 9.

The decision was delayed because Judge Ronald Fabbro is still deliberating the case.

Piche originally pleaded guilty in 2011 to feeding over 20 black bears on his property at Christina Lake in 2010.

He was charged with feeding dangerous wildlife under the Wildlife Act when human-fed habituated bears were discovered on his property during an RCMP investigation related to a marijuana grow operation.

Another investigation conducted last summer found that Piche was still feeding bears and he was charged again with the same offences. He also pleaded guilty on the second charge.

A large crowd came to the Trail Anglican Church Tuesday night to hear Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar speak of his experience on welfare for the month of January in Surrey and the Downtown Eastside.

MLA talks poverty to Trail crowd TRAIL – Over 100 people filled the Trail United Church Sanctuary to hear Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar recount his experience living on $610 in surroundings typical of those available to a single individual living on welfare in the Lower Mainland.

The issues he identified were familiar to many in the audience, who brought their own experiences of poverty to the conversation.

After three hours of presentation, consideration, sharing knowledge and pizza, several areas of concentration were identified for further work in our local communities.

While food security was a major focus of many people’s lives, and low pension and welfare rates were identified as causing much of the problem, most said that the high cost of housing was the number one drain on available income. People related personal experiences with substandard housing and landlords who are either unable or unwilling to improve the accommodations they offer to low income tenants. Social housing (where rent is based on income) is not available for most low-income people (except seniors) living in our communities.

People also applauded loudly

when it was suggested that the City of Trail and the communities that support recreation in our area follow the lead of the City of Surrey by offering low income persons and their families access to regionally operated facilities for affordable rates. Surrey has experienced little added cost while the overall health and well being of the families who are now able to participate in recreation has improved dramatically.

“There’s no place to go,” was another comment made by several and agreed with by most.

Our area lacks a permanent drop in location like the one Brar experienced in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver – the Carnegie Community Centre. He called it ‘the living room of the Downtown Eastside’. People feel alienated from one another and the community, because, having no disposable income at all, there is no place to sit, have a coffee, listen to some music and enjoy the company of others on a regular basis.

Brar responded to a question about the difference between charity and allowing people to help themselves.

“There is a difference between charity and justice,” he explained.

He told of welfare recipients

seeking work and dumpster diving for items to sell to supplement their income only to have their earnings deducted from their cheques, dollar for dollar. People want to participate in some way, but our systems seem set up to prevent it. Others offered comment on the futility of taking training for jobs that do not exist.

The cost and timing of public transportation was mentioned by several as a barrier to gaining access to services and businesses in our area, or even being able to work at low wage, part time jobs.

While some local councillors were in attendance, and taking notes, Brar pointed out that elected officials can only really take action when they have the support of the people in the community. The evening ended with a sense that the people in attendance would do what they could to help build that support and let elected officials know it was present. There was also a commitment to doing what could be done without waiting for the support and approval of governments. Watch for more to come. If you’d like to help, please attend the Poor No More Meeting at Trail United Church on April 23 at noon.

Political strategists in the Okanagan will have to rewrite their playbooks to accommodate a coming shift in electoral boundaries, predicts a votingreform advocate who has studied the issue.

Wilfred Day, a member of Fair Vote Canada, figures population growth in the Kelowna area will force changes throughout the Okanagan.

He sees part of Kelowna being trimmed from MP Ron Cannan’s Kelowna-Lake Country riding and added to the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding.

Okanagan-Coquihalla, held by MP Dan Albas, would then lose the Nicola-region communities of Merritt and Logan Lake. “That’s what I think is the logical alternative,�

School district deals with deficit SOUTH DELTA LEADER In an effort to help cover a budget shortfall of just over $2 million, the Delta School District is conetmplating dipping into an anticipated, year-end surplus.

The district announced Thursday that due to continued declining enrolment and a cut in its transporation budget by the government, Delta comes up $2.02 million short for 20122013.

Projected numbers call for 150 fewer students in Delta classrooms for the start of the next school year, and a drop of $124,000 in funding for bussing.

Thanks to a onetime allocation of funding from the Ministry of Education in December 2011, Delta expects to end this school year with a surplus of $1.9 million. That’s where the majority of the budget shortfall is hoped to be made up.

It is with great sadness that we announce that Garth, our loving husband and father passed away quietly on April 9, 2012 in Nelson, B.C.after a long struggle with front temporal lobe degeneration.

Born in Trail, B.C. on January 4, 1942 to Amy and Harry Collins, Garth was the eldest of 8 children.

He attended elementary school in Fruitvale and J.L. Crowe High School in Trail. Garth graduated with a B.Sc. in Forestry at the University of British Columbia. After working in Victoria and Duncan BC as a forestry consultant, Garth returned to the Kootenays and taught forestry at Selkirk College in Castlegar for over 25 years.

He was a quiet, patient man who was always generous and thoughtful. Garth loved music. He played the guitar and the fiddle with the Old Time Fiddlers and The Quarter Notes, and founded the Kootenay #9 Workshop for the BC Old Time Fiddlers. It’s been ten years now and this workshop continues to flourish attracting more students every year. When we moved to Nelson in 2003, he became involved with the local Blue Grass group.

His passion for the outdoors is reflected in his love of fishing, hiking, skiing, golfing and sailing. While living on an acreage in Passmore we raised sheep, chickens, pigs, grew a large garden and enjoyed maintaining the property. During summers we travelled across Canada, Europe, and down the Oregon coast. After retirement we spent a year in Japan and later took a number of cruises.

Garth is survived by his wife Grace Devaux, and children Quentin, Melanie, and Keiko. He is also survived by his mother Amy Collins, and his siblings Shirley (Don)Taylor, Alayne (Leo)Matzner, Karen (Bill) Duncan, Howard (Shauna) Collins, Chris (Brenda) Collins.

He will also be dearly missed by his large extended family. The family would like to thank Mountain Lakes, Broader Horizons, and all his care-workers who cared for Garth with so much compassion during his last few years. I would also like to thank Dr. Trevor Janz and Cristina Lidstone for their special efforts.

In honour of Garth, a short service and celebration of life followed by a potluck will be held at the Passmore Hall, 3656 Passmore Old Road at 10:30 am on Saturday April 14th. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration at www.theaftd.org or sent to: AFTD Radnor Station Bld 2, Suite 320 290 King of Prussia Rd.

Roland Fox, Terry Fox’s father, helps unveil the Terry Fox Mile 0 sculpture in St. John’s, Thursday. A new monument to mark the moment Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope is being celebrated.

Ex-cabinet minister pleads guilty THE CANADIAN PRESS YARMOUTH, N.S. A former Conservative cabinet minister in Nova Scotia has pleaded guilty to fraud and breach of trust, marking the second time a former provincial politician has admitted to defrauding the public purse since a spending scandal erupted more than two years ago.

Richard Hurlburt formally entered his plea Thursday in the Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Yarmouth, the largest community in his former riding.

Hurlburt, who served in cabinet when John Hamm was premier, is one of four

Nova Scotia politicians charged in February 2011 after the province’s auditor general asked the RCMP to investigate allegations of inappropriate use of constituency allowances. Two months ago, Hurlburt’s lawyer said his client wanted to take responsibility for his actions before his former constituents.

At the time, Crown lawyer Andrew Macdonald said Hurlburt’s actions related to the submission of claims for expenses he didn’t incur, but the prosecutor didn’t elaborate.

First elected in 1999, Hurlburt was re-elected

in 2003 and 2006 and served as the natural resources and energy minister.

The scandal erupted in February 2010 after provincial auditor general Jacques Lapointe released a bombshell report that revealed what he described as excessive and inappropriate spending of constituency funds between July 2006 to June 2009.

Lapointe’s report found that members of the legislature used public funds to pay for a range of items and services, including cameras, computers, extensive office renovations, custom-made

furniture, a model boat and an espresso maker.

Hurlburt quit politics soon after the report was released. Lapointe found Hurlburt spent $7,995 in public money on a generator installed in his home.

The politician initially defended the purchase as a valid expense, saying it could be used in emergencies by a nearby seniors’ home and for ground search and rescue teams.

Julie Carmichael said in an e-mail. “We will find savings by reducing unnecessary spending and duplication of work such as cruise ships that currently need to be cleared numerous times instead of just one. This is a needless waste of time and costs our tourism operators money.�

The Conservatives have been examining increased use of technology at the border, which would also help save money.

Fortin said the union isn’t against technology but the cuts will harm that too. “If you don’t have anybody feeding the data into the system, that’s where we’re going to have a problem,� he said.

The cuts will be across the country, with the Pacific, Prairie and Quebec offices each losing over 100 people.

Fortin says the public will notice the difference in waiting times at the borders, but what they won’t see is the cuts behind the scenes to people who work at keeping threats out. “I don’t know if you’re going to be able to see that, but certainly, it’s going to be less safe,� he said.

NOVA SCOTIA

OTTAWA - The Conservatives’ toughon-crime agenda is weakened by federal budget cuts, the union representing border guards said Thursday.

Union officials say chopping $143 million from the Canada Border Services Agency budget over the next three years will hamper its ability to catch child pornography, drugs and terrorists at the border.

The cuts represent over 1,300 jobs, including intelligence officers and front- line agents, the union said.

Cracking down on sexual offences and illegal drugs has been a key focus for the Conservatives, as has border security.

When they were elected in 2006, they increased the number of officers by 400 and since then, they’ve added a further 1,600 new positions, according to figures provided

by Public Safety.

Union president Jean Pierre Fortin said he remembers applauding those moves, but can’t understand why the increases

The Falklands and everything that comes with it

I

nternational human rights campaigner and occasional actor Sean Penn, whose welldeserved Nobel Peace Prize continues to be delayed for mysterious reasons, was the first famous foreigner to lend his support to the cause. “The world today is not going to tolerate any ludicrous and archaic commitment to colonialist ideology,” he told Cristina Kirchner, the president of Argentina. He was speaking, of course, of the Falkland Islands.

This was music to the ears of Kirchner, who has marked the 30th anniversary of the Argentine invasion and British recapture of the islands with a highprofile nationalist campaign to “recover” the Falklands (or rather Las Malvinas, as Argentines call them).

Penn then went home to California, but it wasn’t long before Fidel Castro weighed in too. Unfortunately, Castro hadn’t read the script.

Kirchner’s chief talking point was an accusation that Britain was “militarising” the South Atlantic by sending an “ultra-modern destroyer” to patrol the waters around

of Mexico until the United States conquered it in 1846.

They come from everybody who want to draw a line under history just after the situation that favours their interests came to pass.

But the line was actually drawn in 1945, and it has proved remarkably robust.

When new African countries got their independence, they got it within the existing borders, even though those were originally drawn by the imperial powers with little heed to ethnic realities. When the old Soviet Union fell apart, all fifteen successor states accepted the administrative divisions of that empire as their new national borders.

And whenever somebody who hadn’t got the message tried to change their borders by force, pleading historical justice, ethnic similarity, or geographical tidiness, they were firmly rebuffed by almost everybody else. Indonesia seized and annexed East Timor in 1975, but eventually had to give it its freedom. Saddam Hussein’s Iraq invaded and annexed Kuwait in 1990, but was driven out by an international army after

only a few months.

And Argentina invaded the Falklands in 1982. It was driven out by a British force, not an international one, but the United Kingdom would never have fought such a difficult war over islands then seen as almost valueless if it had not had international law on its side.

Argentina’s action was privately seen as inexcusable by almost every other government, even if its Latin American neighbours did not say so in public. The generals who ordered the invasion were ignorant men who didn’t understand that the world had changed, and they lost power in Argentina as a result of the war. More importantly, the law was upheld.

And that is why AlsaceLorraine, after changing hands a dozen times in its history, will remain French.

California, similarly, will remain American however much the Mexicans dislike it. As for Kashmir and the West Bank – but that’s a subject for another day.

and want to provide that opportunity for others. It is also a time when they can help the dying find meaning in life.

A deeper sense of fulfillment arises out of service to others.

Service is a relationship between equals and the encounter changes both people. Service is renewing. Therefore, volunteering with a sense of service giving meaning to the work allows one the energy to maintain a commitment over time.

Volunteers bring a spirit of cooperation, goodwill and independence. They bring spontaneity, idealism and a desire to support the lives of others . These are elements of our humanity that endure.

I believe that people will quietly continue to volunteer as they follow their hearts.

Greater Trail Hospice is celebrating 25 years of providing service to the community. We are holding a host of events during May, national Hospice Month. Please come and help us celebrate all our volunteerism, past, present and future at our Gala Concert on May 5th.

Pennies can still do some good An editorial from the Corner Brook Western Star The lowly penny will be seeing the end of its days this year thanks to a decision by the federal government in its budget to stop distributing Canadian coppers.

It’s not a big surprise as for years there has been opposition to the penny continuing to be minted and distributed. Now that the cost of making a single cent has risen to 1.6 cents, it makes perfect sense to take the penny out of circulation.

Do you have plans for your “coppers”?

Starting in the fall, businesses will be asked to return pennies to financial institutions and the coins will be melted and the metal content recycled.

Some day, the pipes carrying your water may be made from pennies that once filled a cash

register till.

However, after the news from the recent budget and looking around on the tops of counters in certain businesses in Stephenville where there are collection receptacles for different charities, one can only wonder what effect it will have on the amount collected for these organizations who do such good work.

A look at the transparent receptacles reveal the majority of money collected is made up of pennies, which people seem to give away more freely. The thoughts of the one-cent coins cluttering up their pockets probably make it an easy decision.

Whether people will be as fast to part with the larger coins will only be determined when the others begin to fade from existence.

For the most part,

Newfoundlanders and Labradorians give freely to charities and may well stop dropping the nickels, dimes and quarters into the receptacle slots - but that remains to be seen.

With 35 billion pennies minted since 1908 and half of them in the past 20 years, there are still a lot of them in circulation and it will take a lot of time before they are no longer to be found. But the writing is on the wall for the copper coin since the federal government has finally come to the conclusion the “cent no longer makes sense.”

There are plenty of pennies hanging around in piggy banks and all types of jars in people’s homes. Now that the copper is going out of circulation, it would make good sense to hand them over to a charity that could make good use of them.

Road trip tips: The serious side of fun vehicles.

RVs. More to love, more to protect. The equipment and contents of your motor home are not included in the declared value of the vehicle.

Collision, Comprehensive, and Specified Perils coverage takes care of physical damage to the vehicle as well as contents (up to a certain limit).

Additional optional coverage should include emergency vacation coverage, additional contents coverage and insurance on permanent s t r u c t u r e s related to your INSURANCE r e c r e a t i o n a l OUTLOOK vehicle.

Garage and storage doors are rolling open across the province as the warming weather brings out our seasonal vehicles, or motorbikes and RVs. But before you hit the road, you need to make sure your paperwork is in order and your recreational vehicles, loved ones and belongings are protected. Here are some tips on making sure you have fun with complete peaceof-mind.

Get coverage.

RVs and motorbikes are not insured like regular passenger AUTO vehicles.

You’ll INSURANCE need to determine WITH the worth and SHERYL insure them MUNTAK accordingly.

For seasonal vehicles, the declared value becomes the policy limit and the premium is based on this value. It's important to reconsider the value every year: Is the vehicle worth more because of modifications, or worth less due to depreciation and additional wear and tear? Discuss this with a BCAA Insurance Advisor when you purchase or renew your policy.

Get it right the first time.

The right coverage is critical.

A basic ICBC policy does not provide coverage for physical damage or higher limits of liability. You may want to consider purchasing Collision, and Comprehensive coverage to ensure that your seasonal vehicles have physical damage coverage.

Cover the map. While your RV or motorbike coverage is valid in Canada and the continental U.S., you need to arrange separate coverage if you’re driving it to Mexico. Be sure to plan in advance.

Cover your options. It's also advantageous to buy a policy that spans the whole year, so that at the end of the season, you don't need to buy special storage insurance for your RV or motorbike.

Purchase adequate insurance and roadside assistance for your seasonal vehicle before you set off on your road trip. The insurance specialists at BCAA will give you peace-of-mind by ensuring you get the right coverage to suit your needs.

Boundary Regional Hospital. *** RIGTER, CALLIE GRACE — was born on December 6th, 2011 in Calgary and passed away peacefully on April 6th, 2012. Callie is dearly loved by her parents, Candace Sims and Steve Rigter, her big brother Christopher, grandparents and aunts and uncles. A Celebration of Callie’s Life will be held on Saturday, April 14th at 10:00am at The Gateway Christian Life Centre in Trail, BC. In lieu of flowers a trust account has been set up under Steve and Candace’s name at TD CANADA TRUST BANK Transit#93840 Inst#004 Account#09726287101 *** LEYLAND, JAMES LESLIE (LES) — died peacefully in Columbia View Lodge, April 8, 2012, at the age of 94. He was a resident there for the past year.

Born in Comox, June 22, 1917, Les, his two younger sisters, Betty and Kathleen, and his parents, Ernest and Charlotte Leyland, moved around Vancouver Island and Burnaby until he was age 6. In 1923 they moved to Anabele; Les’s father heading up the bricklaying crew at Cominco, and Les remained a Trail area citizen for the rest of his life.

In school, Les was artistic and keen on sports, becoming a cub sports reporter for the local paper. His athletic strengths included swimming, tennis and middle distance running. As a teenager and throughout his life, Les pursued his interest in society management (Technocracy), nutrition, alternative religious philosophies, and lost civilizations (Dr. Rogers, Edgar Cayce, Theosophy, Rosicrucian’s, Atlantis, Mu). After high school graduation, Les got a job with the CM&S (Teck). He was proud of being amongst the early members of the Mine Mill Union local. He married a local girl, Dorothy Hall, in 1939 and they settled in the area (Robson, Sunningdale, and Fruitvale) to raise their family. During the war, Les took leave from Cominco to serve in the Royal Canadian Air Force. After the war, he attended the Vancouver School of Art as a part of his Veteran’s benefits. Upon completion of art school, he returned to work at Cominco until retirement, with 41 years of service.

Since becoming a widower in the mid ‘60’s, Les took to the road in his various jalopies visiting his children across Canada, and being rescued from the side of roads. Thousands of

slides and photographs document his every move and all events attended. In between objectionably candid family photos are many photos showing his considerable artistic talents.

When the BC Seniors Games came to Trail in 1989, Les reignited his passion for middle distance running. He attended most games since, and expanded his competition to include national and international events.

He currently holds several Canadian records in middle distances in various age categories, and has won many medals at B.C., Canadian, USA and world championship events. He is on the Home of Champions monument, and was named Kiwanis Athlete of the Year in Trail for 2004. Athletic competition gave Les a passion throughout the latter third of his life, providing excellent friendships and travel adventures around the world. These new friends allowed him to reuse his colloquial phrases with great reception. Phrases like, “That’s funner, I resemble that remark, That’s my favorite fruit, It’s amusin’ but confusin’, That’s Kickapoo Juice, It knocks my hat right off, That’s the best soup in ten counties, It gives you curly teeth, Them’s vitamins in there….” were received with endearment, versus rolled eyes, as his family was prone to do. Les was loved by the family dogs who regularly accompanied him on his long walks and runs.

In the past few years, Les’s mobility slowed, and his legendary, lifelong forgetfulness became less of an avoidance-of-responsibility tactic and more of a reality. He attended Bridges for the past two years, and spent the past year as a resident of Poplar Ridge, then Columbia View Lodge. The family thanks Dr. Phillips, the staff at Poplar Ridge, and Columbia View Lodge for caring so much for Dad/Grampa Les. He is predeceased by his wife, Dorothy, son Grant, his parents and sisters. He is survived by his 6 children Wendy, Barb, Rick (Brenda), Scott (Irene), Betty Ann, Don (Charlene), 9 grandchildren and spouses, 8 great grandchildren, and Gwen and her daughters, plus his son-in-law, Ron Ray A celebration of life will be held at Columbia View Lodge, 2 pm, April 21. Cremation has taken place. His family will gather this summer to spread his ashes. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements.

In lieu of flowers, go for a walk/run, eat a carrot, read the comic strip, do a crossword and think of Les. If you wish, donations to the Music Therapy program of the Columbia View Lodge Recreation Therapy dept. would be appreciated.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca

RELIGION

TRAIL & DISTRICT CHURCHES

Resurrection?

One of the people I grew up with re-connected with me on facebook. He has the odd issue with religion. Responding to an article about a Good Friday procession, he wondered what ‘foolery’ might come next. I commented about singing, dancing and celebrating on the mountain side in Rossland on Easter morning. He wrote back about the delusion of the resurrection.

Similar points were raised here in Trail. On Good Friday a man at the Groutage Apartments (where our group journeyed with the cross and stood in solidarity with those society consigns to Golgotha) asked why we had to keep doing this to him (Jesus) year after year. ‘Hasn’t he suffered enough?’ On Easter morning, when hunts for eggs and chocolates out shone services that celebrate a recovery of life. ‘Nothing returns to life.’ Let’s ďŹ nd the wealth of today, for tomorrow, we die.

As a Christian, I feel a need to respond. “Hasn’t he suffered enough?�

Well, if Jesus is – on one level – symbolic of humanity as well as God with(in) humanity, then, I suppose we’ve all decided. “No, actually, he hasn’t begun to suffer enough.� If we believed differently would we tolerate the world as it is? Would we allow suffering to go on? Christian or not, we allow suffering. On Good Friday, Christians recall that God would have it another way, while humans put humans on crosses.

“Nothing returns to life.�

Vine Deloria, an elder of the Sioux people, told of the way language shapes the way we see the world. He wrote that English language speakers see a tree down in the forest and call it ‘dead’. The Sioux do not have a word like that, he said. Anyone who has looked into a tree on the forest oor knows it is not dead. Changed?

Yes. Home and nourishment to new life? Yes. But dead? ‘Dead’ is a word that allows you to shove the tree aside. Forget about it, move on, deny its place in the world. “Nothing returns to life?�

I suppose we could see it that way, if our only language is English, if our only assurance of life is a good store of chocolate eggs. But the language of faith is spoken in many tongues, and the evidence of our hearts as well as our eyes tells us that resurrection is constant and sure. We will be reborn and renewed. Lives lived before ours determined our shelter and nourishment and pointed to a relationship with God. We bequeath a legacy to the lives that will outlast ours.

Essential to Christian belief is the knowledge that God welcomes us to another incarnation. Will it be reected in the society we’ve built and the nurture it offers to body, spirit, and community?

No thing dies. Jesus created, left, and resurrected a legacy of love. We remember that every Good Friday, every Easter Sunday. What will we allow God to do in us?

Around the kitchen table

I

have vivid memories of Sundays with my mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Together, my three sisters, my mother, my grandmother, and I headed off to church, where we met my great grandmother.

She was always there ahead of us. She sat on the right as you entered the church, about halfway up, at the end of the pew. She clutched her black rosary beads, and we were conscious of the clink of the beads as she turned to smile at us, before carrying on with her prayers.

After church, we went to her house, which was situated across the highway and half a block down the back lane from the church.

My little sister and I would walk with our grandmothers, LOUISE while my mother drove the car over.

Safely across the highway, we someEveryday Theology times ran off ahead.

Other times, we relished the leisurely walk, holding hands as we chattered.

When we walked into my great grandmother’s house, we were treated to the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked bread. We knew that thick slices of buttered toast, accompanied with her delicious red currant jelly were on the morning’s menu.

The toast satisfied our hunger, but the lively conversations that ensued were the best part of our time in the kitchen. The women always had a week’s worth of catching up on family news, and as we grew older, my sisters and I would chirp in with our opinions.

When I reflect on that time in my life, I am reminded that I have roots that reach deep into the past.

The four generations of women gathered in that kitchen tangibly symbolized previous generations. Each generation helped to shape our individual and collective stories. The story continues to unfold, stretching into the future, as my daughter’s life is interwoven with the lives of these same women.

In the pew, and around the table, I witnessed a living faith, infused with love. The spirituality in that kitchen may have had originated in the personal piety of my great grandmother’s clinking rosary beads, but it strongly manifested itself in relationships.

Not every moment of these relationships was perfect. Sometimes, the women argued. But always, the little kitchen was warm with deep affection. There was the willingness to admit a mistake, to forgive an offense, and a readiness to help one another.

The experience of those Sunday mornings was foundational to my spiritual formation. While my faith is experienced in the present, its origins are rooted in the past, in the witness of my family, and in the witness of the first Christians, who encountered the resurrected Jesus, and passed the faith of that first Easter morning onto future generations.

Easter faith encounters God waiting in the pew for our arrival: God guiding us across the highway: God baking the bread to satisfy our hunger: God dying on a cross to forgive our offenses. Easter is the story of a God who will stop at nothing, not even death, to sit at the kitchen table with us.

T

here was finally just enough dry weather at the right times for me to start my garden project on the Easter weekend.

The transformation has begun and Auriel’s Garden (named for my angel of new beginnings) will soon begin taking shape to offer a new sanctuary and peaceful outdoor retreat. My work in the yard has unearthed evidence that this space is an old garden, once loved; a large old magnolia stands majestically against the back fence, a small wind chime hangs in the old apple tree, a spiked dogwood ornament was hidden among the old spirea, a few crocus have poked through and the sandy soil is richer than one would expect. I appreciate the work gone before. It will make my job just a bit easier as I prepare the garden beds for their new guests.

Those who have done some gardening will know that this first stage of the renovation can be more tedious than fun.

There’s different ways to approach the removal of sod. If there’s no rush to plant, consider laying cardboard or newspapers on top of the sod and then cover with several inches of compost and top soil.

After a month or so, the grass beneath will die and the newspaper will compost down to mix with the new soil. If the budget will allow,

amend the soil with enough nutrients to help the root systems of new transplants reestablish quickly.

One tip I must pass along which I consider very important for the health of every garden is the need to amend soil with a top dressing of compost around the base of all plants at least every other year.

Yes, plants might survive without it but they become more susceptible to disease and will not flourish or reach their potential. I consider it a gift to the plants in return for their presence feeding my spirit!

When we meet again, I’ll share the fun of the design process.

Vees sweep BCHL final Regular season champs finish off Powell River Kings in four games

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

TIMOTHY SCHAFER PHOTO

Don Brandt tees off on the 13th hole at the Rossland-Trail Country Club (Birchbank) on Thursday morning during Retirees’ golf. His shot landed closest to the pin on the par-3 hole, much to the chagrin of his golf partners for the day: Dennis Stach, Phil Molloy and Lorne Babcock.

Greens ready for golf at local links

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

Golfers across the Greater Trail region are teed off.

On the golf courses that is, as four of the area’s courses are now open or are close to opening in the next two weeks.

Rossland-Trail Country Club (Birchbank) is already open and has been welcoming golfers since Good Friday. As the earliest opening course in the West Kootenay, Birchbank members have even more reasons to tip their tees to this year: it’s the 90th anniversary of the club.

As a result, the club is running a Sunday special, with a foursome hitting the links at 4 p.m. for $90 for nine holes, said golf pro Dennis Bradley.

“Being the only course open is good for us, but we had a tough time getting our greens into shape,” he said, crediting the work of superintendent Greg Kennedy.

“But this year it’s a big deal for us, being here for 90 years.”

Men’s night starts next week while ladies night began last Tuesday. On April 29 a member’s scramble heralds the first big tournament of the year.

On April 21 Champion Lakes Golf Club in Fruitvale will open their ninehole course, with greens now rounding into shape, said golf pro/manager Kevin Nesbitt.

Looking east, one foot of snow in March has delayed the start of the season in Castlegar at the Castlegar Golf Club,

with ice still settling out on the soil of the fairways and greens. The first nine should be open by next Friday, said course pro Pat Bilm.

It’s a little later than most years, he said, but it should be open before the first big tournament of the year for the first weekend of May, a men’s two-day tournament.

In the upper reaches of the golf stratosphere, Rossland’s 90-year-old course, now called Redstone Resort, is targeting an April 20 opening for the front nine, with the back nine set to open around May 1, said course manager Cary Fisher.

“The snow wasn’t as dense because it came later in the year, it didn’t have time to set up,” he said.

Good things come in Vees.

For the second time in five years the Penticton Vees are champions of the BCHL, winning BCHL CHAMPS the Fred Page Cup by Fred Page Cup edging the Powel River 2011-12 - Penticton Vees - Vernon Vipers Kings 3-2 Wednesday 2010-11 2009-10 - Vernon Vipers night in the Hap Parker 2008-09 - Vernon Vipers Arena in the coastal 2007-08 - Penticton Vees 2006-07 - Nanaimo Clippers city.

Each of the last three games of the final series were one-goal games, including Tuesday’s 4-3 overtime victory for Penticton.

The win marks the Interior’s dominance of the BCHL, with the Fred Page Cup having been won by an Interior team for the fifth-straight year. That span includes Penticton’s last win in 2008 and three in a row by the Vernon Vipers.

The Vees await the winner of the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Enerflex Cup. Currently, the Brooks Bandits and Fort McMurray Oil Barons are tied 2-2 in their best-of-seven series.

The winner of the AJHL will host the opener of the Doyle Cup which is slated for April 20.

Survey says Quebec tuning out and B.C. tuning in to Stanley Cup playoffs

BY SCOTT EDMONDS THE CANADIAN PRESS

They’re tuning out in Quebec and glued to their sets in British Columbia, a recent Harris/Decima survey on the Stanley Cup playoffs suggests.

Nationally, 35 per cent of Canadians say they will be watching the playoffs either very or somewhat closely. That plunges to just 20 per cent in Quebec and soars to 55 per cent in British Columbia.

“It does seem to be the case these days that if Montreal is out of the playoffs . . . that Quebec residents are a lot less inclined to be following other teams out there,” said pollster Doug Anderson The Harris/Decima senior vice-president grew up just outside Montreal and remembers the heady days when the Canadiens were regularly in the race for the Cup. Nationally, 64 per cent of those surveyed say they won’t be watching the playoffs that closely

or not at all closely.

“It’s not necessary that to be a Canadian you must be a hockey fan,” concedes Anderson.

As to who they want to win a Stanley Cup, most Canadians picked one of the only two Canadian teams that made it into the playoffs.

Not surprisingly, the Vancouver Canucks draw most of their support from the western half of the country and the Ottawa Senators from points east. The Canucks

have the edge nationally, 39 per cent to 30 per cent for the Senators.

Given the odds on either of the two teams actually winning the Cup, Anderson admits he was a bit surprised at the support the Senators maintain.

“Beforehand, water cooler chatter around here at the office was we pretty well thought Canadians would be cheering for Vancouver.”

In B.C., 80 per cent of respond-

ents picked the Canucks, five per cent opted for Ottawa and nine per cent have other favourites.

As for that five per cent, “maybe it’s people from Ottawa who moved out to B.C.,” suggests Anderson.

In Ontario, only 42 per cent picked the Senators and 29 per cent still picked the Canucks. The omnibus phone survey of 1,000 people this month is considered accurate to within 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Canucks fans subdued after Game 1 loss to Kings

NHL fines Weber $2,500 for blow to Zetterberg’s head THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE - The NHL has fined Nashville defenceman Shea Weber $2,500 for slamming Detroit forward Henrik Zetterberg’s head against the glass at the end of Game 1.

Weber was assessed a minor penalty for roughing, and the NHL announced the fine Thursday while the Predators were practicing. The fine was the maximum under the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Brendan Shanahan, the NHL’s chief disciplinarian, says it was a reckless and reactionary play with Weber Weber throwing a glancing punch before shoving Zetterberg’s head into the glass. Shanahan says league officials were told Zetterberg did not suffer an apparent injury and is expected to play Friday.

The NHL notes the play will be a factor if Weber is involved in any further incidents in the post-season.

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A drizzly night and an unexpected loss to the eighth-place Los Angeles Kings played a big role in a subdued fan response to Vancouver’s first game in the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Canucks supporters quickly left Rogers Arena in downtown Vancouver following the 4-2 loss to the Kings on Wednesday night, and now statistics from the Vancouver Police Department confirm fans were well-behaved.

Officers say the crowds were light in the downtown core throughout the night, with just four liquor pour-outs recorded and six tickets issued.

Police vow to keep a close watch on hockey fans in the wake of the riot that followed Vancouver’s loss to Boston in Game 7 of last year’s Stanley Cup final. Large gatherings have been banned in downtown and police are imposing a zero-tolerance policy toward liquor infractions or rowdy behaviour.

Kings celebrate victory with Tweet taking shot at Canucks (CP) VANCOUVER The war of words in the Vancouver Canucks-Los Angeles Kings series has started. On Twitter.

In the moments after Los Angeles finished off a 4-2 victory in Game 1 on Wednesday night, a message was posted to the team’s official Twitter account taking a shot at Vancouver: “To everyone in Canada outside of BC, you’re welcome.�

The Canucks have drawn criticism during a successful couple seasons that has seen them capture the Presidents’ Trophy in back-to-back years and fall one game short of the Stanley Cup in 2011.

In October, CBC commentator Don Cherry added to the chorus by saying Vancouver was disliked because the players whine at officials.

LEISURE

Sister sounds mentally ill, delusional, threatening Dear Annie: I have always had a rocky relationship with my older sister, “Nancy.”

She’s lived with our parents her entire life, and even after she married, she convinced her husband to move in with them. Her marriage didn’t last long.

Nancy has always been a drama queen.

At my wedding, she threw a tantrum about how horrible her life was because her little sister was getting married and she was single again. My parents made me apologize, as always, for something over which I had no control.

Last year, my husband and I had our first child. Mutual friends told us Nancy is showing pictures of our son, claiming he’s hers. She even has his photo, as her son, on her Facebook page. It isn’t the first time. Nancy is a professional nanny and has told people her charges were her children.

ANNIE’S

MAILBOX

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

My husband thought that if we let her know she’s important in our son’s life, she’d stop, but she didn’t. When I brought it up to my mother, she told me to let it go because Nancy is having a hard time with her job. Clients have been dropping her service because she’s getting too pushy.

We live six hours away, and Nancy insists we visit every other weekend. We argued, and now she won’t talk to me. Nancy’s roommate called last night to warn me that Nancy is looking to sue for visitation rights with my son. This is astonishing, and I worry that she has some issues that

should be addressed, but I don’t want this to create a bigger family problem. My mother is on Nancy’s side, and my father won’t talk about it. I’m about ready to cut ties with all three of them. -- Bad Sheep Sister Dear Sister: Nancy sounds mentally ill, delusional and threatening. Under no circumstances should you let her near your son.

She has no basis to sue for visitation, and in fact, you might consider an order of protection to keep her away.

She desperately needs to be under the care of a psychiatrist.

Dear Annie: I really love my two co-workers, but we are all in one room. Eight months ago, “Mary” began using a new medication to help her quit smoking. Unfortunately, the medication has now caused her to become rather flatulent. I’d understand if it happened once in a while, but it is becoming very

repetitive. Mary always says, “I didn’t know it was going to happen,” but I think she’s doing it on purpose because she thinks it’s hilarious.

My other co-worker laughs and actually encourages Mary. I’d spray air freshener, but I have a major sensitivity to the scent. When people walk into our office, they can smell the odor, and I worry they think it’s me.

How can I bring this to Mary’s attention without causing any embarrassment or arguments? -- Bombed in Kentucky Dear Kentucky: You might take Mary aside and, with great concern, say that her doctor might be able to put her on medication that doesn’t have such unpleasant side effects.

Meanwhile, there are air fresheners that have no discernible odor, and we recommend you purchase one and assiduously spray it whenever necessary.

Dear Annie: You periodically run letters from disgruntled women whose husbands will not give them sex. What is wrong with these men?

I am 81 and because of age no longer can

perform, nor am I interested. That does not prevent me, twice a month, from satisfying my wife in other ways. Being willing to give rather than receive is my expression of love, and it provides an opportunity

to be close. -- Happy Husband in Oregon Dear Husband: This sage advice works for both sexes. Thank you.

Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Saturday, April 14, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’ll enjoy the company of others today, especially in group situations. However, be careful you don’t agree to something or volunteer for anything that you might later regret. (“What was I thinking?”)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) People in authority definitely notice you today. This is a good thing. What is questionable, however, is that you might be tempted to promise more than you can deliver.

Caution!

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ve got big ideas about traveling somewhere or perhaps furthering your education. These big ideas might even include something related to publishing, the media, medicine and the law. (Exciting!)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t give away the farm today. You might be tempted to be overly generous to others. Generosity is one thing; idiot compassion is another.

(Oops.)

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a marvelous day to schmooze and enjoy the company of others. Dealings with partners and close friends will be fun and upbeat. (But you might go overboard.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be mindful of deadlines that you agree to at work. Don’t lock yourself into something that is tough to meet later. Be generously realistic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It’s definitely easy to go overboard in many ways today (including gambling).

Enjoy sports, playful activities with children, fun flirtations and parties. Caution about overdrinking and over-

eating.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is definitely a feelgood day. Enjoy family discussions and entertaining at home. Don’t promise more than you can deliver to a family member.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You feel optimistic and raring to go today! You believe in yourself! Your ability to sell, teach, write, promote

and market anything is hot! (Keep your feet on the ground.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is an excellent day for business and commerce. One tiny caveat: Things might look better than they are.

Hmmmm.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a swashbuckling day for Aquarians. You feel bigger than life! Enjoy schmoozing

with people you care about.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Many of you will be more in touch with your spiritual side today. You feel compassion for those who are in need, and you also feel more in touch with your own soft heart (which, in turn, helps you to be in touch with the softness of others).

YOU BORN TODAY You have a distinctive, classy style! Although you trust

CLASSIFIEDS

SUNDAY/MONDAY HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Sunday, April 15, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you are on top of your game now, others might oppose you today. (Could they be jealous?) Whatever the case, you have to sort this out with those who are close to you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Opposition from someone at work, especially an authority figure, could be a downer today. Perhaps this person is not aware of the scope of what you’re trying to do because you’re working behind the scenes.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Clashes with others, especially in group situations, are possible today. Someone older or more experienced might be critical of you. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be very careful when dealing with authority figures today. People notice you

now, and someone, perhaps a parent or an older relative at home, might want to rain on your parade. Be patient.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Obstacles to your travel plans are likely today.

Officious people might be too busy trying to tell you why you can’t do something.

(Bummer.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep in touch with your bank account today.

Something could go awry, or checks might bounce. What about debt? (Is the posse after you?)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might be discouraged because partners and close friends refuse to endorse your ideas today. In fact, they disagree!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Expect some opposition at work toward your plans.

Possibly, older co-workers, bosses or someone who is more experienced simply

does not agree with you. It looks like you can’t go around this.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Try to avoid direct confrontation with children today.

All kinds of authority figures seem to be bullying in the eyes of others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Parents and older relatives might try to block your plans today. Or perhaps they just don’t grasp what you want to do. (Everyone feels this today.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Don’t fall into worry mode today. Remember: “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.”

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money? You probably feel broke today. You might not have the money or resources to do what you want to do.

YOU BORN TODAY You

have a fine mind and a wonderful imagination, which takes you into many different spheres of life. So many things interest you! You are intrigued by form and architecture, and are capable of inventing things. You have excellent organizational skills.

You place a high value on learning and education. Your year ahead will hold wonderful social moments, and relationships will be blessed.

Birthdate of: Emma Watson, actress; Seth Rogen, actor; Leonardo da Vinci, polymath.

For Monday, April 16, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Mercury returns to your sign today, where it will stay for about three weeks. This influence definitely will make you chatty. You’ll talk about anything to anyone!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your ability to do research will improve greatly in the month ahead. If you’re looking for answers, dig deep, because you’ll find them. (At least, it’s very likely.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your ruler, Mercury, changes signs today. You might sense this, which is why you feel eager to join groups or discuss matters with others.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Discussions with bosses, par-

ents, teachers and VIPs could be significant today or in the next few weeks. Mercury is now moving slowly across the top of your chart. You want to be heard.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Any kind of study totally appeals to you in the month ahead. Sign up for courses, read books or explore ideas, because you’ll have no trouble digesting intellectual material. (“I’m so smart.”)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Your focus on shared property, inheritances, bills, taxes and debt might increase in the next few weeks. Do what you can to tie up a lot of loose ends here.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) For the next few weeks, Mercury will be directly opposite your sign. This might make you feel that partners and close friends are opposing you. Of course, this might be the case!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You can expect to be busy in a hands-on way at work in the month ahead. However, you’ll find this rewarding.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Explore every opportunity to do arts and crafts, or enjoy the arts, theater, musical performances, sporting events and playful times with children. You’re feeling playful

SATURDAY’S CROSSWORD

and prankish!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Family discussions will be particularly significant in the month ahead. Very possibly, you are contemplating repairs at home. This is a good time to finish things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) In the next few weeks, you will be interested in taking short trips, talking to siblings and relatives, plus reading and writing more. It’s a busy time with lots of fun detours.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Trust your moneymaking ideas, because you are really thinking of ways to either get a better job or boost your current income. Write some of these ideas down.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re a good friend to others because you’re loyal, warmhearted and generous. You’re also very down-to-earth and pragmatic about accepting whatever is on your plate. This quality, which you might take for granted, actually inspires others. You have the courage to go after what you want for yourself. In the year ahead, you will study or learn something very valuable. Be open to this.

Birthdate of: Martin Lawrence, actor; Jon Cryer, actor; Ellen Barkin, actress. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
