community perceptions

Branding process moves forward City pleased with resident feedback C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Curling is serious business; even when you’re dressed like a character from Toy Story. The Kimberley Curling Club hosted the Snow Fiesta Bonspiel over the weekend — serious curling, serious fun.

According to its residents, Kimberley is a desirable place to live, work and play; with beautiful natural surroundings, good community spirit, and significant opportunity ahead of it. However, it is also in a state of flux, and needs to take advantage of emerging opportunities, and take action to ensure sustainability.

These are some of the thoughts and perceptions gathered in the first phase of Kimberley’s branding process, which involved a period of engagement late last fall which included online surveys for both resident

“We had an exceptional response from the community,” said Kevin Wilson, Economic Development Officer for the City of Kimberley.

Beyond the hurt

Red Cross to present anti-bullying workshop Workshop offered to adults who work with youth C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Every now and then the issue of bullying rears it’s head in such an awful way that the whole world takes notice. Such was cer-

tainly the case with the sad death of Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd last October.

But even after attention fades, the issue is still there. Bullying is an ongoing problem, and dealing with it still a major issue for those who work with young people, and young people themselves.

Jodie Parker, a RespectED trainer with the Canadian Red Cross is bringing a bully-

ing prevention workshop to Kimberley on February 16, 2013. The six hour workshop will be held at the Kimberley Conference Centre from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

“For too long, bullying has been dismissed as a normal, harmless part of growing up,” said Parker. “But something that causes long-term misery and deeply scars so many lives cannot be dismissed as just

‘kid stuff’. The solution isn’t simple but there are ways to help young people make better choices and stop the cruelty and the suffering.”

This particular Beyond the Hurt workshop is aimed at those who work with youth, whether a parent, a coach or an adult who works with youth through their profession.

Local NEWS

Opportunities in agriculture The Regional District of East Kootenay is switching its focus from the producers of agriculture products in the district, to those that sell those products and have other stakes in the industry in a new round of public consultation.

The RDEK Agricultural Plan Steering Committee is holding an open house on February 6 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Prestige Inn. An overview of agriculture in the East Kootenay will be presented, the agricultural planning process will be discussed and the floor will be open for questions. The intent is to gather feedback to be used in the RDEK’s Agriculture Plan, and to explore the issues and opportunities that exist in the industry. The session is similar to those held in October and November, but this time the RDEK is looking to draw in secondary stakeholders in the agriculture industry, such as sellers and local food-related organizations.

The committee has sent out a round of invitations to local organizations like Wildsight, the local chambers of commerce, the Cranbrook Food Action Committee, the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market Society, the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council, local meat shops, natural food businesses and more. They also hope to have representatives from the district’s municipalities attend.

“We’re hoping we can get sort of a representative population,” said Karen MacLeod, a planner for the RDEK. MacLeod said the fall sessions were great, with lots of feedback coming in from producers of agriculture products in the district.

“We had a lot of people who are actively engaged in agriculture,” MacLeod said.

But now the consultation period is shifting and they would like to hear feedback from the

people who sell and deal in agricultural products.

MacLeod said the next round of consultation will help the RDEK “round out our knowledge.”

MacLeod said the information session will hopefully allow the RDEK to better communicate with those who have a less direct stake in the agriculture industry, but are still an important part of the process.

“The intent is to focus on what the opportunities are in agriculture,” she said.

Right now the Agriculture Plan is still gathering feedback and being developed. It’s slated to be released at the end of June. The RDEK has pushed back the release, as they wait for the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture to release its inventory of agriculture land. That document is due to be released this month.

Once that crucial piece is available to the RDEK, they can finish up their own Agriculture Plan.

“We’ll be moving full steam ahead,” MacLeod said.

At the public information session, MacLeod said they are hoping to have three surveys ready for each participant to bring back to their organizations. One each will glean information from producers, consumers and retailers.

The RDEK is also developing a newsletter to update people on the Agriculture Plan, but the surveys will be an important piece of the puzzle.

“The hope is to have them ready to roll by the time the meeting happens,” MacLeod said.

Anyone interested in attending the February 6 meeting should contact Dave Struthers, East Kootenay Agriculture Plan Consultant, by January 31 to RSVP. Call (250) 426-5300 ext. 208 or email dave.struthers@ vastresource.com. The RDEK also has a website with information on the upcoming plan, at www. ekag.ca.

New nurse practitioner approved for Ktunaxa Annalee Grant Townsman Staff

The province of B.C. has hired 45 new nurse practitioners, and one of them will find a home in Cranbrook with a very important new role to play.

The East Kootenay Regional Hospital will be the recipient of one of the new practitioners (NP), who will begin work with the Ktunaxa Nation Council once the candidate is chosen. The new NP will focus on First Nations primary health care, with an emphasis on the Tobacco Plains Band, explained Erin Toews, communications officer for Interior Health.

“The NP will be working in outreach to rural communities, especially to the Tobacco Plains Band, assessing patients and facilitating access to appropriate primary care services for the Aboriginal population,” Toews said. In total, Interior Health will welcome six new NPs for the Southern Interior of B.C. The Ministry of Health has committed $22.2 million to the hiring of 190 new NPs over three years, under the Nurse Practitioners for British Columbia Program (NP4BC). The funding was announced in May, and this will be the first round of hirings for the positions.

The new NPs are expected to begin work as soon as possible.

Cranbrook was identified in the first intake of the new program. In the Ministry’s Summary of Approved Applications, it states that the Cranbrook Ktunaxa Nation Council would be a great fit for an NP. “Their remote location makes it difficult to get urban appointments and there are no credentialed health workers in the community. Through comprehensive patient assessments the nurse practitioner will facilitate the appropriate utilization of services for the Aboriginal population,” the summary reads.

An NP differs from a registered nurse in that they have received a higher level of education, usually a Master’s degree or a Doctorate. They can be a patient’s sole health care provider, however in B.C. the NPs will work in more of a team environment along with primary care physicians. The goal is to identify and patch-up service gaps in the health care system in the province, such as targeting Aboriginal peoples, the elderly or patients with mental health concerns.

On February 12th, we will finally return to the BC Legislature where we will be expected to sit for only 5 weeks. This will mean that the Legislature will be in operation for only 19 days in the year leading up to the May 14th election.

One piece of legislation which must be introduced, and presumably passed, is the Provincial Sales Tax Act. This legislation will bring to a close the final chapters in the BC Liberal’s Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) debacle which began within weeks of their re-election in 2009.

The BC Liberals promised that this legislation will be tabled in October 2012 but the government failed in that commitment.

They have now, however, released a copy of the draft legislation ahead of the legislative sitting, and it is well worth studying, particularly if you own or operate a business.

If you would like a copy of the draft bill, please email my office at norm.macdonald. mla@leg.bc.ca or call 1 866 870 4188.

The BC Liberals promised that if they lost the HST referendum they would move back to the pre-existing Provincial Sales Tax. But a reading of the bill

indicates that the new PST is actually quite different. It is up to you to decide whether or not the changes that have been made are consistent with the intent of the referendum result.

When the BC Liberals first broke their election commitment in 2009 and imposed the HST on British Columbians it was constituents who shared with me just how deeply your businesses and your budgets were affected by the HST. Heli-ski operators, hair dressers, real estate professionals, and restaurant owners all provided detailed and informed views, and with that information we were able to successfully campaign to overturn the BC Liberal imposition of the HST. In order to thoroughly debate the new PST legislation in the House it is important that I hear from you how this version of the PST will affect your specific business. I thank you in advance for taking the time to share any concerns.

Anti-bullying workshop From Front Page “This workshop will help you to better understand the issues behind bullying and learn how to develop and implement successful prevention strategies,” Parker said.

The workshop is sponsored by the City of Kimberley and the Columbia Basin Trust. There are only 20 seats available so if you would like to participate, register early by contacting Parker at jodieparker22@hotmail.com

From Page 1 “We wanted to hear perceptions and perspectives and the community has spoken.

“There is an unquestionable fondness and affection associated with Kimberley.

People are, for the most part, pleased and proud to live here and want to ensure Kimberley retains its positive small town attributes like health, safety and familiarity. That said, like any community, Kimberley has noted a number of areas perceived to need clarification, action and improvement.”

While the range of feedback was broad, Wilson says there were two notable issues — there is some feeling that the Bavarian theme has lost its vibrancy and resonance, and that significant opportunity exists to improve communication within Kimberley.

“While it’s uncomfortable to have challenges pointed out, it is great to have them identified so we can work to improve them,” said Kimberley Mayor Ron McRae. “What we heard reinforces the need to continue working together towards the community we want, rather than simply waiting for something to happen. A healthy community is a community that demonstrates it cares about itself.”

Other notable perceptions and themes concerning Kimberley, according to Wilson, centred around the Platzl, Economic Development, customer service, the environment, young families,

entrepreneurs, arts and culture, differing expectations between old and new residents, RCR, trails, and challenges concerning Kimberley’s experiences and culture.

Having gathered all this information, the branding process now moves to Phase II — approved by Council on Monday evening.

Phase II moves into to developing a marketing and communications strategy, as well as the visual aspects of the brand.

The communications and marketing strategy that is a part of that contract will address both internal and external communications – including the communications challenges within the City and communicating the brand to the community and the world, Wilson says.

McRae said that the City is planning to continue to increase opportunities for community communication.

“The tools we will now be developing to communicate, such as a website and branded materials, will be much more effective if the community is actively continuing to talk and listen to each other about their goals, aspirations and visions and taking action to seize opportunity and reduce challenges. Community is communication.

Kimberley’s demonstrated that we need to be better prepared and equipped to continually discuss who we are and what we’re doing together with each other. It’s encouraging to see a desire for greater responsibility and accountability. We’re pleased to be moving forward.”

The entire contract with Story & Co. has a budget of $76,160, but each phase will be approved by Council. The first phase, now successfully completed, was $19,040. The second phase is budgeted for $31,360 and the third phase which involves website review and renewal has a budget of $25,760.

The following are highlighted perception themes that were gathered through the community engagement process. These perceptions are not necessarily reality, but they are commonly held or poignant viewpoints concerning Kimberley.

• The Bavarian theme worked well in the past but has lost its vibrancy and resonance for residents and visitors.

• The Platzl is often perceived as a benchmark for the community’s health. While concerns were expressed about the future of the Platzl and challenges it faces, it is widely viewed as a unique community asset with good potential for future growth.

• Economic Development is an issue at the forefront of the community’s mind. New, vibrant community minded businesses are desired.

Smart, innovative entrepreneurs that bring their work with them are viewed positively. Kimberley has lost its primary anchor (mining), and there is a strong desire to fill the economic void left in its absence.

• Municipal communication was noted as a facet of the community that could be improved. The community felt it was encouraging to have the opportunity to participate in supplying insight and perceptions to the branding process, but is concerned that the process may not be followed through on. The municipality continues to commit to an increase in approachability and accessibility, and perceives clear open communication as part of its future mandate.

• The community perceives that there is significant opportunity to enhance customer service, both for visitors and residents.

• Kimberley is proud of its health and surrounding beauty. Looking after the environment is important to Kimberley residents. However, conversations concerning the environment and community health can lead to reactionary outbursts, polarity and distancing within areas of the community.

• There’s an increase in young families moving to Kimberley and they’re pleased to call it home. They appreciate the small town attributes and the fact that Kimberley’s not choked with big-city shopping centres. They’ve intentionally singled out Kimberley because of its lifestyle opportunities and not overly urban atmosphere. They are concerned about the community’s sustainability and future for their children including: health, future jobs, arts & culture and recreational opportunities.

• Kimberley’s arts and culture has a good core of participants, but a sentiment exists that there is opportunity for growth of arts and culture and integration into the economic vitality of the community.

• Entrepreneurs are increasingly becoming a significant part of Kimberley’s economic development scene. New residents are bringing their jobs and or career ideas with them, and the community sees value in supporting growth in that sector.

• As Kimberley continues to grow and evolve, there has been a significant turn over in the demographic make-up of residents and visitors.

At times that can lead to challenging and conflicting perceptions with regards to the community’s change and evolvement. This dynamic can sometimes limit community spirit and conversation.

• Resorts of the Canadian Rockies is frequently recognized as an important stakeholder. As such, there’s a tendency to focus blame and perhaps a disproportionate amount of criticism on the Resort. RCR appears to be increasingly committed to fostering improved relations with the municipality, stakeholders and the community at large.

• Trails networks are an important part of Kimberley’s desirability.

Trails are appreciated by both residents and visitors alike and help to contribute to perceptions of health, accessibility and naturalness.

• Kimberley is a designated Resort Municipality, and offers significant amounts of recreational product. Kimberley’s overall level of visitor service might be best described as meeting expectations, not exceeding them.

• While Kimberley enjoys occasional strong bursts of community pride, modesty and humbleness are common. These characteristics can at times inhibit the community’s ability to tell its story in the best way it can.

From little things, big things grow

How Big Brothers Big Sisters changed the lives of educator Lisa Costain and Grade 7 student Tia Poirier in this first in a feature series on mentors Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Tia Poirier was facing hard times when she was first paired up with her Big Sister, Lisa Costain.

The 12-year-old McKim Middle School student was being bullied at school almost every day.

“I’ve been bullied since the first day of kindergarten,” Tia says.

Late in 2011, Tia joined Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) as a Little Sister, after teachers at her school suggested she get involved.

It was not long after Kimberley resident Lisa Costain signed on with the organization as a Big Sister.

Lisa heard a speech by academic Dr. Martin Brokenleg in which he said the most important factor for a young person’s future is the influence of a supporting adult.

“I thought: that’s so simple. I could do that,” says Lisa.

The pair first met up in December 2011 at a Kimberley cafe, along with BBBS executive director Dana Osiowy.

“She went over what the expectations are, things like that,” says Lisa.

“We made goals, like to meet other people, and do new things that we hadn’t done before,” adds Tia. Having someone new to talk to was an instant improvement for the Grade 7 student.

“My life was really happier when I got my Big Sister. I got a new friend. I love hanging out with Lisa,” says Tia. Tia had long faced

Aerobics versus esthetics “People who survive grow older with each year they live.” — Anonymous.

O

n the Weather Channel recently a half-witted reporter was interviewing half-witted folk exercising their dogs and bodies on the seawall in Vancouver. It was barely daylight and there was a veil of fog over the sea, and these dim-wits seemed to be determined to exhaust themselves in the even dimmer light of a Wet Coast dawn.

The reporter started chatting to what looked like a genetically modified stick-insect tied with a leash to what was probably a genetically modified dog when I turned off the TV. You see, I too have the ability to rise very early in order to be very strenuous but only if spectacular views are expected to be readily available. I have never enjoyed sweating in a gym nor have I relished aerobics without the accompanying esthetics.

I do dimly recall volunteering to take a friend’s poodle out for a stroll in Calgary but I didn’t enjoy the moment. There were cloud banks over the distant Rockies and all I could see was buildings and a dreary city sky. I wasn’t amused; I don’t know how the dog felt.

But some people are stoic. Regularly and dutifully, they go out, dog or no dog, for a walk or run and hope to get some exercise doing so.

To me, that is almost soulless. It’s akin

Story of fatal bus crash of WHL Swift Current team to be made into movie REGINA - A book about the tragic 1986 bus crash that killed four members of the WHL Swift Current Broncos is going to be made into a movie.

Tri-Light Entertainment has secured the rights to produce a feature film adaptation of the book “Sudden Death: The Incredible Saga of the 1986 Swift Current Broncos.”

Saskatchewan writer-director Rob King (“Corner Gas,” “Hungry Hills”) will adapt the book for the screen.

The junior hockey team was on its way to Regina for a game against the Pats on Dec. 30, 1986 when the team bus slid off an overpass on the Trans-Canada Highway just outside of Swift Current, Sask., and flipped over.

Trent Kresse, 20, Scott Kruger, 19, Chris Mantyka, 19, and Brent Ruff, 16, were killed. Other players suffered serious injuries.

KIMBERLEY DYNAMITERS

Nitros beat Thunder Cats 5-4 in double-OT TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters have proved over the last four games that they’re not afraid to go the extra mile—or period, for that matter.

The Nitros won a tense 5-4 double overtime decision over the visiting Creston Valley Thunder Cats on Tuesday night at the Civic Centre, winning their fourth consecutive matchup in the extra frame.

Sam Nigg was the overtime hero, beating T-Cats netminder Zach Straza with a slap shot while streaking down the sideboards after entering the offensive zone with 1:12 to go in the double-OT period.

“I went down 20 seconds earlier and just missed, so I figured I’d give it the same shot and it worked out for me,” said Nigg.

After all, the team has had lots of practice going into overtime.

“It’s getting a little tiring, but it’s fun,” added Nigg. “Winning in overtime is the best feeling there is.”

The Nitros enjoyed a brief lead after the first period, but the two teams ended the middle frame tied at 3-3. The two teams traded goals in the final period, which sent the game into extra time.

Matthew Mitchell backstopped his team to the win, making 39 saves, while Straza turned away 32 shots for Creston.

Creston scored on two of their six powerplay opportunities,

while shutting down the Nitros in all five of their chances.

The Dynamiters took the lead late in the second period, when Tyson Klingspohn got a lucky deflection off a skate during a scramble in front of Straza.

Creston tied up the game in the second period, scoring their first powerplay goal when Andrew Hodder put a slap shot from the blue line past Mitchell.

Trevor Hanna put the T-Cats in the lead 24 seconds later, taking a breakaway feed from Jesse Collins and beating Mitchell through the five-hole.

Kimberley responded with a breakaway of their own, as Taylor McDowell slid the puck between the legs of Straza.

Dylan Sibbald gave his team a two-goal lead, drifting into the slot and ripping a feed from Nigg.

However, Angus Johnston tied up the game a minute later on the powerplay, finishing outside the crease on a give-and-go play with Connor Kidd.

The Thunder Cats pulled ahead in the final period on a goal from Marcel Fuchs, but Eric Buckley responded 10 minutes later, walking out of the corner and roofing the puck on the far side of the net.

The Nitros owned most of the play in the first overtime frame, and Nigg nearly finished it when he nailed the post. However, Creston looked dangerous on the powerplay when Isaac Schacher took a

Kimberley has pretty much locked up at least third place in the Eddie Mountain Division, with

four games to go until the KIJHL playoffs.

The T-Cats and the Rockies are duking it out for the final divisional playoff spot, but either team don’t have the enough games left to

catch the Nitros if they keep winning. Conversely, the Dynamiters have a small chance of catching up to the Golden Rockets, but that would require a few losses on Golden’s part.

Nitros have new assistant coach on the bench TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

A familiar face is back on the Kimberley Dynamiters bench, as Mike Reid has stepped into the vacant assistant coaching position to help out bench boss Glenn Burgess.

Reid has been there before, helping out former Nitro coaches Wayne Keiver and Kevin MacKay during their coaching tenures.

“Glenn contacted me and asked if I would be interested in coming on board,” said Reid.

“I’ve been here in the

past and helped out and I thought moving forward, we’ve got a lot of talent on the team and just need a little bit of guidance and Glenn needed some support.”

“The main reason I came on board was to give Glenn the support he deserves and move this organization in the direction it deserves to go.”

Reid, a Kimberley resident, originally hails from Ontario, where he grew up playing minor hockey and enjoyed a year of college hockey, where he

went on to finish a sports business degree.

He worked in a business capacity for a few OHL teams and coached AAA-level hockey for five years while living in Ontario.

He has also donned the stripes and reffed the game for 30 years, including games in the KIJHL. “As a hockey lifer, you get the chance to coach at this level—it’s been exciting and the kids are great here, we got a good group of kids and its fun to be involved,” said Reid.

Federer ‘not finished’ with Davis Cup, says Swiss captain GR AHAM DUNBAR Associated Press

GENEVA - Roger Federer might play in the Davis Cup again although he won’t represent Switzerland before the U.S. Open in September, team captain Severin Luethi said Tuesday.

Luethi told The Associated Press that the 17time Grand Slam champion has not written off a competition that Switzerland has never won.

“He is for sure not

finished with Davis Cup,” Luethi said ahead of a first round series at home this week against defending champion Czech Republic which Federer is skipping.

Still, by not making his Davis Cup plans clear in recent months, the 31-year-old Swiss star has been the target of rare criticism at home.

Federer opted last October to schedule more rest periods and time with his family this

season, said Luethi, who is part of the player’s entourage on tour.

“He could really plan until, let’s say, the U.S. Open more or less,” the Swiss captain said. “For him, it’s sure that he doesn’t play the first two ties.”

Switzerland can earn another home series in the quarterfinals in April, against Austria or Kazakhstan, by beating the Czechs on indoor hard courts in Geneva.

The semifinals and rele-

gation playoffs follow the season’s final Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows.

Federer “didn’t take a final decision to say, ‘I’m not ever playing Davis Cup again.’ He just decided for the first half of the year now that he is not playing, then we have to see what he is going to decide,” Luethi said.

Federer’s two-week break comes after losing a lengthy five-setter to Andy Murray in the Aus-

tralian Open semifinals last Friday.

“There was maybe a small chance if he had lost in the first or second round or something,” that the second-ranked Swiss would reconsider, Luethi said earlier at a news conference. “But otherwise it was not even a discussion anymore in Australia.”

Federer is next scheduled to play in the Netherlands, at the Rotterdam indoor event starting Feb. 11.

CELEBRATING SUCCESS: Cranbrook native and retired NHLer Scott Niedermayer was honoured by the Kamloops Blazers last Friday night, as his former major-junior team retired his jersey in a pre-game ceremony. Niedermayer won a Memorial Cup with the Blazers in 1992 before going pro in the NHL, where he played 18 seasons and won four Stanley Cups.

Niedermayer’s wife, Lisa, and four sons—Logan, Jackson, Joshua and Luke—took part in the ceremony as the Blazers celebrated the defenceman’s contributions to the franchise.

Ice head into oil country for mid-week road trip Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

Though playing hooky often gets people in trouble, there won’t be any consequences for absenteeism when the Edmonton Oil Kings host the Kootenay Ice for their second annual Hockey Hooky game on Wednesday morning.

The game is similar to Kootenay’s School Spirit Night, as thousands of Edmonton school kids descend on Rexall Place for the 11:30 a.m. puck drop.

On the topic of

avoiding consequences, the Oil Kings dodged any punishment to their roster for Wednesday’s game, but will have to fork out some cash following a line brawl during a game against the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Sunday.

The WHL handed down a $500 fine for a multiple fight situation and an additional $250 for a goaltender bout between Laurent Brossoit and Ty Rimmer.

Lethbridge didn’t escape the discipline either, with a $750 fine for their second multi-

ple fight incident of the season, a $250 fine for the goalie fight, while head coach and general manager Rich Preston got slapped with $500.

ON THE RECORD It’s an interesting juxtaposition when you look at the season series record between the two teams.

Kootenay currently leads with three wins in five meetings against the Oil Kings, the defending WHL champions and a team that has stayed close to the top of the Eastern Conference rankings.

The Ice, which BC FAMILY DAY ISinHERE dwelled the base-

ment of the conference S o i nvi te t he m foralthe l first standings BC FAMILY DAY IS HERE half of the season, won ove r for dtwoi nn er ! of those meetings

the Christmas S o i nv i te th em allbefore break, while Edmonton ove r for din n er! took the other two vic-

tories.

Kootenay then pulled ahead of the series with a 2-1 home win at the beginning of January.

It should make for an interesting game as the Ice are back into playoff contention and have strung together an impressive amount of wins in the new year, which has helped turn their fortunes around.

The Oil Kings aren’t slouching either, with victories in their last five outings—three at home and two on the road.

DEKES AND STREAKS Though the line brawl and goalie fight turned some heads between the Oil Kings and the Hurricanes, it’s important to look at other parts of the scoresheet.

Henrik Samuelsson, an offensive stalwart and Phoenix Coyotes prospect, had a fourpoint night with a goal and three assists. Dylan Wruck an overage forward also recorded the same number of points.

Samuelsson is on a five-game point streak, while Michael St. Croix has points in his last six

games.

However, the Ice also have some streakers, such as Sam Reinhart, with points in his last 13 games, while Jaedon Descheneau had his 12-game streak end in Regina on Saturday.

Luke Philp is also starting a run of his own, with a goal and two assists over his last three appearances.

After Wednesday’s morning affair, the Ice head south to Red Deer, where they will face off against the Rebels on Thursday night.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Finally, your communication style makes a breakthrough. You could wonder what you need to do in order to change what is going on. You have thought long and hard about this. Trust your intuition, and you will make the right choice. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might want to think through a decision more carefully. Financial matters come forward that you might want to review. Your ability to move past a difficult situation emerges. Part of this skill is your caring perspective.

Tonight: Time for some fun.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Recognize that you finally are achieving long-desired results.

You have reason for celebration; invite friends to join you. A sense of negativity surrounds a longterm project. Do not let this thought dominate. Abolish it.

Tonight: Share some news with a family member.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be surprised at everything that is occurring in your daily life. Your creativity and desire to move forth emerge. You have a lot going on that you have yet to acknowledge. You might want to keep less to yourself and start sharing. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have an unusual possessive streak that comes out. Though you often are insightful, you might not understand or see the damage that this behavior could bring. Attempt to hold back, and try not to get caught up in acting on a feeling. Tonight: Pay bills, then decide.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your energy attracts many people, and you’ll be acknowledged for everything you do. You could feel rewarded for many hours of hard work. Accept an offer that sounds too good to be true.

Communicate the extent of your feelings to a loved one. Tonight: Do what you want!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You sense that you are on the

For Better or Worse

verge of a new beginning. You don’t have full knowledge of this opportunity yet, but you soon will. Take today to catch up on errands, but use caution when spending. Try not to invest any funds, especially in real estate.

Tonight: Nap, then decide.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on priorities. A meeting or a get-together with friends might be more important than you think. You are on the verge of getting an offer or benefiting financially from a different source.

Play bingo or buy a lottery ticket.

Tonight: Call it an early night.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A loved one starts revealing much more of his or her inner thoughts. Enjoy this process, yet know that it could go on for several months. You might want to handle a career matter or a situation involving an older friend or relative sooner rather than later.

Tonight: In the limelight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might have had plans to take off and do some research, but good news could have you rethinking your plans. An oppor-

tunity presents itself that might be too good to be true. A somewhat stoic friend plays a large role in decision-making. Tonight: Take in a movie.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal with a close associate in a more direct manner. You also can express more of your unconventional thoughts at this point in time. Use discretion with someone you meet today. This person might not be everything that he or she projects to be. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You can’t help but share good news that is forthcoming. A partner or dear friend could be just as excited as you are. A family matter could involve expansion or the purchase of a new home.

Real estate remains fairly solid as an investment. Tonight: Order in.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve been with a wonderful guy for five years. After two abusive marriages, I am finally being treated right. “Bud” and I have only two issues: money and kids. We have broken up a few times over our problems, but honestly, I can’t live without him.

Bud is 44 years old and owns his own business, but he does not save money. When I met him, he had nothing. Now he has $20,000 in a retirement account and another $5,000 in savings. He finally has his two kids pretty well straightened out, although they will never be exactly normal.

Bud still doesn’t manage his money well.

He needs so many things in his house, yet he went out and bought a truck he doesn’t need. He now has six years of payments on it, his auto insurance went up, and if he ever needs new tires, we are talking thousands of dollars. I want him to sell it and get a reasonably priced truck. He says he will lose money on the sale, which is true, but why sink even more into it?

Both of my marriages involved men who overspent on themselves, so I know I have a tendency to be extra cautious. How can I convince Bud that he did the wrong thing by buying the truck, but that he still has time to fix it? I won’t marry a man I can’t trust with my money. Not again. -- Thrice Shy Dear Thrice: You can’t treat Bud like a child, even if he makes poor financial decisions.

He will resent it and push back. Instead, approach all such matters jointly, being respectful of each other’s opinions, even when you disagree. You also could offer to take over the handling of finances for the household, keeping everyone within a reasonable budget. But you are wise not to commingle your money if you don’t trust Bud’s ability to handle it. Before marrying, consider financial counseling together through your bank or the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (nfcc.org).

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married 27 years. We each have grown children from previous marriages.

My husband’s 42-year-old unmarried son lives out of state. “Mike” is self-supporting, but the only time we hear from him is when he needs some extra money. He lives alone except for his dogs. For the past three years, Mike has spent Christmas with us, staying three or four days. We are always happy to see him, even though we only have two bedrooms and he brings the dogs -- even one who is incontinent.

Last year, my daughter (who also lives out of state) visited with her two children. We hadn’t seen her in two years. My husband also was scheduled for knee replacement surgery the following week. So when Mike asked to come with his dogs and a new puppy, we explained that it wasn’t a good time.

We asked him to come in February or March, while his father recuperated -- and hopefully, the puppy would be housebroken.

We have not heard from him since, even though I have left numerous messages on his voicemail. What more can I do to mend this fragile relationship? -- In the Middle Dear Middle: Not much. You have explained, and you have called. We trust you will keep all of the kids informed of Dad’s progress, including Mike. But it is up to him to make the next move. We suspect when he needs money, he will get in touch again.

Dear Annie: Most women who responded to “Your Husband” do not understand men very well. Without sex, men feel incomplete.

It’s part of how we feel loved. Women should realize how important sex is to a man simply by seeing that he is willing to risk everything -- his wife, family and assets -- to fill this void. -- Feeling the Void in Indiana Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
