Victim targeted in home invasion TOWNSMAN STAFF

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Welcome to Kimberley! The Rocky Mountain International Student Program is hosting 18 students from Kimberley’s sister city of Annaka, Japan from August 16 – 22. The students are learning English in the morning and taking part in local activities and trips during the afternoons. Thank you to all the Kimberley families who opened their homes to host a student for this great program.

Thanks as well to the Kimberley kids who volunteered as buddies for the afternoon trips and activities. To see more photos of this year’s Annaka program, visit www.facebook.com/rmisp or www.instragram.com/rmisp.

A home in the 2400 block of 3rd Street South was invaded at around 2 a.m. on Monday, August 19.

“Weapons were brandished – a knife and a baseball bat – but no one was injured in the incident,” said Cpl. Chris Newel.

“The suspects were known to the victim and police quickly determined the victim was targeted.”

Police had arrested four young offenders by 4 a.m. Monday morning.

All four are currently in custody and will appear in court Monday. Two are charged with possession of a weapon, one with fail to comply with conditions, and all four with break and enter.

If you have any information on this or other crimes please call the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471. Or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS(8477) from anywhere in British Columbia and report what you know. Or you can leave a secure tip online, http://cintek.com/ crimestoppers/tips.html.

LONGBOARD DISCUSSION

Talks with longboarders, RCMP, City will continue Part II of II

C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Kimberley longboarder Noah Wesche met with Coun. Darryl Oakley and RCMP member Scott Milliken last week to discuss issues with longboarding in Kimberley.

Council has received complaints about

longboarders on City streets and it has been identified as a priority in policing initiatives.

In Part I, the Bulletin reported that the discussion was around safety and a negative perception of longboarders. But Wesche says longboarding is also a sport, which he and many other riders take very seriously.

While many Kimberley longboarders use their boards primarily as transportation, it is also a sport. One only need look at the highly successful Sullivan Challenge, held every

JulyFest weekend, to see that it is a sport that attracts a great deal of interest.

“It’s a really great group of people who travel to the races,” Wesche said. “Passive, easy going people. You never see a fight at the races.”

It is the sporting aspect of it that sees riders training on Kimberley’s steeper hills — and also the challenge of a more difficult ride.

Wesche says the Rails to Trails is great for

commuting. If he goes to Marysville, he uses the trail rather than the highway. But there are also times when training requires more, as does the love of the sport.

“The Rails to Trails is great for commuting but I love cranking through pot holes and gravel,” Wesche said. “It keeps it real.

Gerry Sorensen Way is a minefield. I love it.

If I want to do the sport I’ll be on the road.”

La Cafamore ensemble to perform in Cranbrook Submit ted

La Cafamore has been striving to bring high quality classical music to the ears of Kootenay listeners since 2008. On October 5, 7:30 p.m. they will bring two famous piano trios to Cranbrook classical music lovers. Haydn’s “Gypsy” trio is recognizable because of its lively last movement, which uses themes based on Hungarian gypsy music. Beethoven’s “Archduke” trio is considered the pinnacle of the piano trio repertoire with its expansive themes and orchestral-like instrumentation.

The concert will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church in Cranbrook on October 5 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors. Children under 12 are free.

La Cafamore has been touring the Kootenays since 2008. In this next series of concerts, they will present piano trio repertoire for the first time.

The group decided to explore piano trio repertoire, with Carolyn Cameron switching roles of violinist to pianist.

“I am very excited and somewhat nervous, because I haven’t done much chamber music as a pianist…

I’m hoping that my violin experience translates across instruments.”

Since most piano trio arrange-

ments are for violin, viola and cello, violist Alexis More will take on the cello part with her viola. “Most cello parts transpose fairly easily to viola,” she said, impishly adding “the piano drowns me out anyway.”

The group will play two of the most famous works of the piano trio repertoire, Haydn’s “Gypsy” piano trio and Beethoven’s “Archduke” piano trio. “I grant you that the Haydn is the piano’s moment to shine,” said Carolyn Cameron. “Haydn intended the piano to be the focal point, with the other instruments as supporting characters, so to speak. There are very few instances in this work where the viola part is not also played by the piano.

My apologies to Alexis.”

Both Angela Snyder (violin) and Alexis More have their moments in the sun with the Beethoven “Archduke” trio. “In the hands of Beethoven, the piano trio is a more collaborative effort, giving each member an important and unique voice,” said Snyder.

The group will be touring with financial assistance from the Columbia Basin Trust, the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance, and private donor Dr. R.J. Cameron who also happens to be married to Carolyn Cameron.

Fly me to the Moon vertical dance performances Vertical dance with a downtown twist For the Bulletin

Looking for something decidedly different this Labour Day long weekend? In fact, something that has never been done before?

Join vertical dancer Trina Rasmuson in her “Fly me to the moon…and other short journeys” performances on Kimberley’s Platzl.

What is Vertical Dance? Vertical Dance combines the artistry of contemporary dance with the sport of climbing and rappelling to create a captivating visceral experience. Trina will be suspended using ropes and harnesses on the side of the new Spirit Rock Climbing Centre under construction on Deer Park Avenue in the Platzl.

“Fly me to the moon…” is a decidedly whimsical romp through characters and feelings that ev-

eryone experiences throughout the day.

Consisting of a number of dance pieces, the performance illustrates that despite our deepest desire to charge forth in life, we still take time to dream, love, or just plain be ‘ridiculous!

Performances will take place on Friday, August 30th and Saturday, August 31 at 7 p.m., and on Sunday, September 1 at 1 p.m.

Admission by donation – suggested $5$10.

Trina Rasmuson has been choreographing Vertical dance for 10 years and for the last five of those has performed almost exclusively in ‘wilder’ places- including the local climbing cliffs of St. Mary Lake. For this year’s show in the more ‘urban’Platzl, the audience is invited to bring a lawn chair and enjoy the closeup view as Trina swings, bounces and interprets life through vertical dance and jazz music. The very talented songstress

cil.

Be sure to join us for what will certainly be a unique, delightful

and entertaining performance!

Jail time for Cranbrook conspirators Varying length of jail times for co-conspirators MICHELE YOUNG Kamloops Daily News

Three Cranbrook men were sentenced to terms of five to 12 years in jail for their varying roles in conspiring to kill a former drug-gang rival.

B.C .

Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley said each man’s case had to be considered on its own, but added that all three have long roads in front of them if they want to be productive members of society.

Lonnie Adams, Colin Correia and Lorne Carry were also banned from possessing firearms, ammunition and explosives for the rest of their lives.

“Conspiracy to commit murder and counselling to commit murder are serious offences,” Dley said Friday.

The trio were charged for hiring another long-time criminal in 2009 to kill Doug Mahon, a Cranbrook drug trafficker who eventually left his organization. The men believed Mahon was involved in the shooting of a member of their group.

They provided the killer for hire with an AK-47 and ammunition.

“It was intended to be a brutal assassination,” the judge said.

Dley sentenced the most hardened of the three, Colin Correia, to 12 years in jail for counselling to commit murder, conspiracy to commit murder, illegal transfer of a firearm and another weapons charge.

Correia, 36, has a long criminal record that includes stolen property, resisting arrest and assault causing bodily harm. He has two young daughters.

Dley said the only mitigating factor in his case was that his brother has offered him a job in his concrete business after the jail term ends.

Working against that is that he planned to kill someone over a long period of time, he was involved in providing the weapon and his own drug organization would have benefitted.

Correia’s ability to rehabilitate himself was questionable, he said.

Dley gave Correia credit for double time served while awaiting trial, which shaved 65.5 months off the jail term.

Carry is 30 years

old and has no criminal record. He maintained he was enticed into the criminal lifestyle and pressured into the conspiracy, the judge said.

Carry said he left the drug gang on his own, but Dley said he was forced out. Carry has been compliant since being arrested, but he was also a driving force behind the murder conspiracy and provided the machine gun that was to be the weapon.

“This was more than tough talk,” said Dley.

Still, he found Carry was remorseful and has support in turning his life around. He has also been out on bail for the past two and a half years and has met the conditions during that time.

For that, Dley sentenced him to 10 years for conspiring,

counselling murder, and firearms charges.

Adams, 36, has two young children and family support and he plans to move on. He has been in segregated custody for 11 months because he has rejected his criminal connections, said Dley.

“His change of heart has apparently left him an outcast from his former col-

POLL WEEK of the

leagues,” he said, adding Adams has stated he has “crossed the Rubicon.”

He has a criminal record involving charges such as possession of stolen property and noncompliance.

Dley said he was impressed with Adams’s statement of remorse in court, but he couldn’t ignore his past. Still, a lengthy

incarceration wouldn’t help his rehabilitation, the judge said.

While Adams was found guilty of counselling to commit murder, he was not charged with conspiracy. He was sentenced to five years, with credit for 67 months in custody.

Discussion with longboarders will continue From Page 1 Since most longboard races are held on city streets, then city streets are where you need to train to be ready for an event.

Much of the riding is done at night for a couple of reasons, Wesche says ­— better speed, and safety.

“We ride at night. The wind is going downhill so you can go faster. And at night, you can see the headlights of a car coming and you’ve gone by them before they realize you are there, so it’s much more predictable.”

And since every community in B.C. has steep hills, you are not going to get longboarders paying for the use of a track, even if a City provided one, Wesche said.

Oakley suggested that as longboarding was a legitimate sport, boarders may have to organize a bit more in order to deal with other bodies such as Council.

Wesche was against that idea.

“We don’t need another body. Cyclists and roller bladers don’t need to be organized. You won’t get everybody who rides longboards to go to meetings. I’d go to a meeting. I wear a helmet. But not everyone will. We need to act as role models but we don’t need a soci-

ety.”

There is in fact a loose association of longboarders in the Kootenays, but that’s as far as Wesche would like to see it go.

Oakley pointed out that when Council wants to talk to longboarders they have to know who to talk to.

“When complaints get to a certain level, Council has to respond,” he said.

Wesche said he was more than willing to be a spokesperson and he also said he’d try to bring a few more riders to the next meeting (scheduled for September) but that it would be easier to get people to come if it were not held at the RCMP station.

“There has to be mutual trust,” he said. “I’m one of the few who would even come into the detachment.”

It was the decided the next meeting would be held at the Aquatic Centre meeting room.

Milliken said he would suggest someone in the Kimberley Detachment take the lead on the safety rodeo aspect and would ask that member to attend the next meeting.

Oakley said he’d try to bring another City Councillor along.

The discussion will continue on Thursday, September 19.

Earlier this year, council was in a mellow and lenient mood and decided not to press the matter too far when reports of sidewalk-riding reached them. But now, with new walks, the practice is becoming too prevalent even to

the extent that pedestrians are being forced into the side of the road by cyclists.

Aldermen decided it would have to stop but agreed that one warning should be given before police are asked to deal with youthful offenders.

Alderman Mrs. Burrin put in a word for the tiny tots who ride their tricycles on the sidewalks and her fellow al-

Opinion/Events

… And arts education for all Helen Duckworth

T

he Cranbrook and District Arts Council is offering two fantastic new workshops for the month of September.

The first is a two-day workshop by Eileen Gidman, entitled “Art Cloth Workshop.” If you are uninspired by continuing to create on canvas and paper, Eileen opens up the path to creative explorations in mixed media by teaching students how to use procion dyes on 100 per cent cotton. Students can use copied designs to work with but are also encouraged to create and use their own original designs.

Gidman, whose formal art training came from studies at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, says: “Creating luscious art pieces on fabric with dyes was a natural extension for me, being someone who sews and who has painted watercolours all her life. Over the last nine years I have given workshops on painting with dyes, sold my fabrics in stores and at shows (including two national quilt shows), and this year have exhibited my textile art at the Key City Theatre, Cranbrook and the Langham Gallery, Kaslo.”

Would you like to create some unique fabric pieces? This workshop will give you the opportunity to not only learn the technique of painting with dyes but you can expect to have several pieces completed in the two days that can either be framed, sewn or collaged.

The course costs $120 with some additional supply costs and runs from September 7 – 8, 10-2 p.m. both days, in the CDAC workshop space. Pre-registration is a must so please get in touch with the CDAC office to register your place today.

The second September workshop, by Sonya Rokosh, is called “Introduction to Pottery: Hand-building 101.” Starting September 11, 6-8 p.m. and running on Wednesday evenings for eight weeks until October 30, this is a project-oriented course that gets students involved in hand building and clay techniques that

Dear Feeling Overwhelmed: I hear and feel what you are saying to me about this year. Many of us are living the same rollercoaster ride of emotions and problems that you are experiencing

What’s Up?

KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Eileen Gidman do not require the use of a pottery wheel.

Sonya Rokosh grew up overseas in Peru, a land where ceramics were imbedded in the country’s history. Her interest in pottery only began after she enrolled in a high school ceramics class on the West Coast. After obtaining a small artistic scholarship for her pottery work in high school, Sonya Rokosh was devoted to keeping this creative outlet as a part of her life. Gaining her training from classes taught by West Coast artists such as Peggy Elmes, Ron Douglas, and Ann Coleman, Sonya is starting to develop pieces that are quirky and fun. She has sold work in local markets while living on Vancouver Island, and also enjoys customizing commission pieces for clients. Her personal studio and business, Earthenfern, is based out of her third generation family cabin at Wasa Lake Provincial Park.

Over the eight-week course, students will be guided through different projects

ranging from pinch pots to birdhouses, with the opportunity to create up to six final pieces over the duration of the course. The cost of this workshop? Only $96 per person, supplies included. This workshop would make a great gift for an artistic friend, a great activity to take up with a friend or family member, or as a treat for younger art enthusiasts just beginning to explore artistic mediums.

Individual classes can be booked at $12 a person. Please get in touch to find out what projects run on which evenings or check out the Facebook page at: www. facebook.com/CranbrookArtsCouncil.

As with all workshops, please register early to avoid disappointment.

All workshop registrations can be made through Helen at the CDAC office either in person at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council’s location in room 104, 135 10th Avenue South or over the phone on 250-426-4223.

Reflections on the ‘annus horribilis’ Hi Wendy: I am having a horrible year so far. I think everything that could have happened to me this year has happened. It seems my friends and co-workers are having a bad year and I don’t want to burden them with my problems too. I need your guides help in answering a few questions for me.

My husband is going in for surgery on his hip and I was wondering if the operation will be successful?

We found out my granddaughter is about to have a child and I was wondering if her and her boyfriend will stay together? My son is very upset with her and his nerves are bad. Do you think he will be okay?

My husband wants to go on a trip before his surgery but I am reluctant to go.

Can you ask your guides if we do go if it will be a good trip for us?

I read your column and I trust what your guides say to you.

this year. My guide told me this was going to be a year of new beginnings and also a year of many endings of all kinds. This can mean endings in relationships, family members passing over to the other side, job losses, and good friendships ending and so on.

New beginnings as well can mean new love interests coming into a ASK WENDY person’s life, new jobs, and new moves to differWendy ent areas and so on.

Evano Both ways it all means a great deal of stress, high and low emotions and difficult decisions that a person doesn’t want to make must be made. If one does not become accountable for the decisions they make this year then next year will be worse for them. There are a lot of people walking in your shoes at this time as well.

Your husband’s surgery on his hip will be successful. However, we do see a minor complication with the anaesthetic.

So make sure he checks out his allergies before he goes into surgery. Talk to your doctor about this before his surgery and before you go on holiday. Yes, I think your husband is correct, I think you both need some time away together. We feel that you will have a wonderful time on

your holiday with absolutely no complications happening during your trip. So, go for it girl, and have a good time.

We see your granddaughter and her boyfriend not staying together on this plane in this lifetime. This young man is very immature for his age and he does not accept responsibility of any kind well.

We will be very surprised if this young man stays with her during her pregnancy.

Yes, we can see that your son is very upset about his daughter because he knows what her boyfriend is like. He had a feeling that this was going to happen and he is just blowing off some steam at this time. I feel that when the baby is born he will fall in love all over again with his new grandchild. You have a very nice son and he will stand by his daughter.

In conclusion you know that we all make mistakes in our lives and we have to deal with them as best as we can. You lived through your mistakes and trials and tribulations and decisions in your life and now your son and granddaughter will do the same. So just for this moment in time go for that trip with your husband and enjoy yourself and forget about the rest of the world. It’s a gift that is being given to you by the universe to spend this quality time which is much needed with your husband.

I

t’s a silly question, obviously, but it still has to be asked. What, if anything, should the rest of the world do about the tragedy in Egypt? The same question has been hanging in the air about the even greater Syrian tragedy for well over a year now, and it is starting to come up again in Iraq as well.

All three of the biggest countries in the heart of the Arab world are now in a state of actual or incipient civil war. The death toll in the Syria civil war last month was 4,400 people. More than 1,000 people were killed by bombs and bullets last month in Iraq, the bloodiest month in the past five years. And at least 1,000 people have been killed in Egypt in the past week, the vast majority of them unarmed civilians murdered by the army.

You will note that I did not write “killed in clashes.” That’s the sort of weasel-word formula that the media use when they do not want to offend powerful friends. Let’s be plain: the Egyptian army is deliberately massacring supporters of the democratically elected Muslim Brotherhood government that it overthrew last June (whom it now brands as “terrorists”) in order to terrorise them into submission.

The “deep state” is coming back in Egypt, and the useful idiots who now believe that the army is on their side, the secular democrats of the left and the opportunistic Noor Party on the religious right, will in due course find themselves

back in the same old police stations, being tortured by the same old goons. So should outsiders just stand by and watch it all happen?

The inaction of the United States is due to two causes. First, the only major leverage at Barack Obama’s disposal, cancelling the annual $1.3 billion in aid that Washington gives to the Egyptian army, is no threat Gwynne at all. It would instantly be replaced, and probably inDyer creased, by the rich and conservative Arab monarchies of the Gulf that heartily approve of the Egyptian army’s coup.

Secondly, Washington remains transfixed by the notion that its alliance with Egypt is important for American security.

This hoary myth dates back to the longgone days when the US depended heavily on importing oil from the Gulf, and almost all of it had to pass through Egypt’s Suez Canal. Today less than ten percent of the oil burned in America comes from the Middle East, and new domestic production from fracking is shrinking that share even further.

Even if Obama understood that Egypt is not a vital American strategic interest and ended US military aid to the country, it would only be a gesture (although a desirable one). The International Monetary Fund has already broken off talks on a large new loan to Egypt, and the European Union is talking about cutting aid to the country, but there are no decisive mea-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

sures available to anybody outside the Arab world, and no willingness to act within it.

There will be no major military intervention in Syria either, although outside countries both within the Arab world and beyond it will continue to drip-feed supplies to their preferred side. And the Iraqi government’s request last Friday for renewed US military aid to stave off renewed civil war there has no hope of success.

Getting involved again militarily in Iraq would be political suicide for Obama.

So what’s left of the Arab spring? On the face of it, not much. Tunisia, where the first democratic revolution started three years ago, still totters forward, and there is more democracy in Morocco than there used to be, but that’s about it. The non-violent democratic revolutions that have worked so well in many other parts of the world are not doing very well in the Arab world.

There may be many reasons for this, but one stands out above all the others. In the Arab world, unlike most other places, two rival solutions to the existing autocracy, poverty and oppression compete for popular support: democracy and Islamism. The result, in one country after another, is that the autocrats exploit that division to retain or regain power. Democracy may win in the end, but it is going to be a very long struggle.

Colburn, Team BC finish fifth at Nationals BARRY COULTER

A 15-year-old basketballer from Cranbrook took her place on the national stage earlier this month, taking part in the U15 National Championships in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Bobby-Jo Colburn played forward on Team BC, comprised of girls from all over the province. And when the dust had settled, Team BC came out of the tournament fifth overall.

Team BC split their pool games, cruising to opening 64-42 victory over Manitoba on Monday, August 5, but came up against a tough Ontario squad the next day, losing 59-38 (Ontario went on to win gold in the tournament). In the opening playoff game on Thursday, August 8, B.C. took on Saskatchewan, who won 63-53.

“We should have won that game,” Colburn said.

“We didn’t play very well.

And one of our best players hurt herself in the second game (against Ontario). She tore her ACL. It made it tougher for us to win — but we still should have won.”

Team BC rallied after that loss, defeating New Brunswick 81-33 on Friday, August 9, and then Prince Edward Island on the Saturday, resulting in a fifth-place overall finish.

“Since we lost that game,

going into the playoffs, it was our goal that we should try to finish in the higher rankings,” Colburn said.

The Cranbrookian forward herself had a stellar tournament, finishing in the top 10 for several offensive categories (after the five rounds), including two-pointer percentage (tied for first), two-pointers made (seventh), three-pointers made (fourth), three-pointer percentage (tied for first), match points (tied for ninth), field goals made (tied for seventh) and field goal percentage (tied for first). Colburn was thus selected for the tournament’s second allstar team.

Team BC was put together together towards the end of June, giving the girls just over a month to bond, what with practices and a couple of tournaments before the nationals. Colburn said she made lots of friends over the short season, and of course the trip down east was a good adventure.

Gadsby was competing in the cross-country section of the three-day endurance event when his mount fell while jumping a fence.

A few months ago FIFA had doubts about whether the venue would be delivered by the December deadline established for all World Cup stadiums. But Valcke said Monday after an inspection tour in Sao Paulo that: ``Yes, it will be ready.’’

BE chief executive Mike Etherington-Smith. “The world of eventing is a closely knit community and everyone will be shocked and deeply saddened.’’

Gadsby was riding a sevenyear-old gelding that was not injured during the incident.

Sao Paulo was Valcke’s first stop in a four-day tour to inspect construction work in some of the host cities. He will also visit Curitiba and Manaus before attending a board meeting of the local organizing committee in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday.

Isner, runner-up to Nadal at Cincinnati, returned to the top 20, jumping to 14th from 22nd.

Welcome!

NOW OPEN!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Many of your ideas could be challenged, but that doesn’t worry you. Your friends will manage to add a touch of chaos to your life, as they will be clamoring for your attention. You might feel as if there is no way to continue on with your plans. Tonight: Go with the flow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could feel pressured by several different situations. An important matter at work demands your attention, but a roommate or family member also needs your feedback on the domestic front. Know that you can’t please everyone all the time. Tonight: Work late.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. You respect this person and often get important information from him or her. At the same time, an overwhelming amount of people seem to need to give you their feedback. Tonight: Catch up on a good friend’s

news.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are unusually responsive to the Moon phases, and today’s Full Moon could find you juggling your needs while also trying to be there for a significant other. Realize what is happening and consider how pressured you feel. Tonight: Continue the juggling act.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others will be a little too challenging for your taste. You also might feel overloaded right now.

It could be difficult to figure out how to handle all the requests, calls and appearances. Just try to enjoy your popularity. Tonight: Go along with the suggestion that you like the most.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be feeling out of sorts, and you will have no difficulty telling someone just how you feel. You could find that several disagreements will emerge at the same time if you are not careful. Take a step back rather than make a mistake. Tonight: Stay levelheaded and calm.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For Better or Worse

A flirtation might have a lot more power over you than you initially had intended or even considered. You might not be sure whether to attend an important get-together tonight or hang out with this person.

Ultimately, the choice is yours.

Tonight: Try to squeeze it all in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) An authority figure could be more ornery than he or she has been in a while. This person even might be a parent or higher-up.

Do not let this situation, or perhaps a different one involving your personal life, get out of control. Tonight: Be where you are happiest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your phone might ring right off the hook. You could become rather crazy as a result of dealing with all the knocks on the door.

Do not plan on getting everything accomplished that you wanted. Save some of your energy for later on. Tonight: Beam in more of what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be a bit too busy juggling your budget, your responsi-

bilities and other people’s needs.

You could feel overwhelmed by everything you need to get done.

Do not take any risks before you do more research. Only then will you be able to decide. Tonight: Indulge a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will have a lot of energy and want to channel it into what you feel would be most appropriate.

Listen to your inner voice. You might want to be more spontaneous, but understand that you could hit some opposition along the way. Tonight: Do whatever you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay centered, and realize that you might not want to get sucked in to the high energy that is swirling around you. Even when trying to focus, you could experience many disruptions. A close friend refuses to agree with you. Avoid the confrontation. Tonight: Do your own thing.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Three years ago, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer and then a brain tumor. She has had numerous surgeries and treatments.

Mom is the youngest of five siblings. The whole time she has been fighting this disease, her siblings have been unsupportive.

In three years, one uncle has visited twice and called twice. Another lives less than two miles away, but has stopped by for a total of one hour. His wife and kids have neither visited nor phoned.

My aunt speaks to my mother about twice a year. She never visits. She also yells at Mom and is rude to her. She has managed to convince my 84-year-old grandmother that these arguments are my parents’ fault.

Several years ago, this same aunt had cancer, and my mother was there for her all the time -- like family should be.

I find it hurtful and disheartening that her siblings are so uncaring. They never offer to help, let alone offer words of comfort. Is this normal behavior? The only thing my mother has asked for is moral support from her family, and she has received none. My father, my brother and I feel only animosity toward these family members, knowing how much they have hurt our mother. I think we should forget about them and cut off contact. What do you say? -- Loving Daughter Dear Daughter: We don’t know why your aunts and uncles haven’t been more supportive. In some families, one person often becomes a “caregiver” by virtue of his or her personality. It sounds as if your mother is that person. It means her siblings do not know how to respond appropriately in caregiving situations because they never have had to do so. Before you decide to cut them off, please let your mother decide. She may prefer to forgive them and continue the relationships, although with a more limited set of expectations.

Dear Annie: My niece was married at city hall nearly two years ago. My wife and I attended the ceremony, and afterward, we went to lunch. Two weeks later, they had a small catered reception at his grandmother’s house. My wife and I attended and gave them a card with a check.

Now they want to have their wedding blessed in a church. I think that’s great, except they are having another reception, this time at a banquet hall with all the bells and whistles. Since we already gave a card and a check at the first reception, are we obligated to give another? If so, how much? I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. -- Confused About the Etiquette Dear Confused: You aren’t giving a gift in honor of a reception. You are giving a wedding gift to the couple. Since you already have done so, you are under no obligation to present them with another. However, if you feel obligated to bring something to the latest reception, it could be a small gift with sentiment attached, such as a framed photograph of the couple.

Dear Annie: I feel compelled to write to “Can’t Believe Adults Act This Way,” whose daughter is being bullied by other teachers at her school. You suggested the main bully craves power and control, thinks the daughter is a threat and could be insecure.

This is happening to me right now. I am a veteran teacher of 29 years. The principal is indeed as you described. She has wanted me gone for the past four years and has made outrageous accusations that I have had to defend with the union.

I realized, also, that this was draining my energy to teach. My advice for this firstyear teacher is to look for a new job where she feels comfortable and can teach and do what she is trained for and not waste her energy on bullies. She sounds like a promising teacher who needs to be planted in fertile soil where she can flourish. -- Looking for Something Better Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
