KCT announces exciting new season BARRY COULTER
Tickets are now on sale to the general public, for the Key City Theatre’s 2013/2014 season, which features a number of high profile entertainers.
Theatre manager Gerard Gibbs says there’s something for everyone in the line-up. “This was my first chance at lining up a season of concerts for the Key City Theatre and there were some really
pleasant surprises,” said Gibbs, who signed on as manager earlier this year. “We’re bringing in a few returning artists, several new to Cranbrook, but with whom I have had the plea-
sure of working with in the past. “I’m sure our audience will come away pleased in any case. We span musical genres from singer-songwriters, to classical, jazz crooner,
Celtic fiddle, Latin guitar, classical, ballet, young emerging artists to American classic folk.” The season kicks off Friday, Sept. 20, with Toronto crooner Matt Dusk channel-
ling the music of the legendary Chet Baker, the American jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist and vocalist. Dusk describes the music as “the perfect soundtrack for an intimate evening together.” Dusk’s sixth studio album — “My Funny Valentine: The Chet Baker Songbook” — was just released this year, and will be showcased at his KCT concert.

Court rules against Blackmore’s tax appeal CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — The leader of a B.C. community that practices polygamy has lost an appeal in federal Tax Court, which has ordered him to pay penalties of nearly $150,000. Winston Blackmore appealed a tax assessment
that concluded he understated his income by $1.8 million dollars over a period of six years. He argued that an obscure section of tax law originally designed to allow Hutterite colonies to effectively divvy up income among members for tax
Scallop & Smoked Salmon Fettuccine
purposes should apply to his community, which practices a fundamentalist form of Mormonism that allows polygamy. But Judge Diane Campbell has ruled that Bountiful does not meet any of the criteria required for such status, such as a prohibition
on members owning property and a requirement that members live and work in the community. Campbell has ordered Blackmore’s income be re-assessed to include the additional $1.8 million, and she has also imposed penalties of nearly $150,000 for
“gross negligence.” Bountiful has been the target of numerous investigations over the years, including a polygamy prosecution that fell apart in 2009, and a special prosecutor is once again considering possible criminal charges.

After a successful season — it’s 14th — Kimberley Summer Theatre is heading off in a new direction, under the guidance of new Executive Director Tony James. The company is evolving into a year-round venture, and won’t just produce professional plays and musicals, but concerts and dance performances. A name change has already occurred. Kimberley Summer Theater is now the Kootenay Performing Arts Company, with a box office in the Platzl on Spokane Street.

Bennett says rural B.C. losing its representational power ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff
When Federal Minister of State for Finance Kevin Sorenson’s flight was delayed, and he couldn’t make the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon where he was to speak Tuesday, August 27, MLA Bill Bennett was asked to speak. Bennett, the Minister of Energy and Mines for the province, said the biggest issue facing rural B.C. at the moment is that its losing its representational power on the provincial level. “I have come to believe over my years as MLA that legislation that only takes into account representation by population as the only determining factor in constituency size across the country — but in particular here in British Columbia — is not adequate,” Bennett said.
He said he believes rural Canada has been losing its political power steadily over the past 20 years and will continue to lose it in the future as long as governments provincially and federally fail to take into account the geography of the constituency. “I’m not addressing my comments to the federal side, because I think the issues are completely different,” Bennett said. “We’re dealing with health care, we’re dealing with education, both post secondary and K-12, we’re dealing with social services, we’re dealing with forestry, mining, oil and gas, land use, water and a whole bunch of things.” Bennett noted the last time there was a commission to look into provincial ridings, it found they would likely be reducing rural seats in the province. “They talked at that time of
doing away with two seats in the north, doing away with one seat in the Cariboo-Chilcotin-Lillooet area and doing away with one seat here in the Kootenays,” he said. “We managed to persuade them not to do away with those seats, but we picked up six more urban seats in the next go round.” Bennett said this dissipated the rural power by way of increasing the urban seats. He suspects the commission will continue the trend since the only factor they can look at is population. “I can see a time in the future when we have so few seats in rural British Columbia that the decisions that affect us, mining, oil and gas, forestry, roads, wildlife management, are made by elected people who mean well, but most of them don’t live in rural areas, so they have a different perspective on all those issues.”

Kootenay senior hockey teams acquit themselves well at BC Games ANTHONY DR ANSFELD For the Townsman
The Kootenay Glacier Kings acquitted themselves very well at the B.C. Senior Games, which wrapped up on Sunday in Kamloops. When the dust had settled, the over-60s team who had locals Adrian “Rocky” Blais, Brian Dickie and Garry Bock, ended up with the Bronze Medal by beating Salmon Arm 6-1 The Glacier Kings played five games in four days — tying Vancouver 2-2, tying Victoria Bear Mountain 3-3, (the eventual Gold Medal winners) and defeating Vernon 3-1. They then dealt Kamloops their first loss 5-2. The over-55s then won the Gold Medal led by Rod Guimont of Cranbrook, who rallied the Kootenay team with three goals, including the winner, after being down to Merritt

Wilks discusses Senate at Chamber luncheon ARNE PETRYSHEN
MP David Wilks defended the senate, while highlighting the difficulties in removing the federal body of government. Wilks spoke on Tuesday at a luncheon sponsored by the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce. “Certainly a lot of Canadians have asked not only our government, but just about every one around, why don’t we just abolish the senate,” Wilks said. “The reality is we can’t just abolish the senate, as much as we would probably like to, the senate is written into the constitution of 1867.” He said part of the problem of opening up the constitution is it takes seven provinces, plus 50 per cent of the electorate in each of those provinces to do. Wilks said the problem is also with getting the smaller eastern provinces of Nova Scotia, PEI and New Brunswick to agree to opening up the constitution, since he said they have the most to lose with four MPs and four senators. Those numbers would likely drop based on their population. “Once we open up the constitution, well, we may as well not just stop at the senate, we may as well keep going, and that scares the heck out of a lot of people,” he said, adding chances of
the constitution being opened are “remote to nil.” He said the prime minister has sent a request to the Supreme Court of Canada to review options without opening the constitution. Some of the things they hope to change in-
clude adding term limits of nine years for senators and making the senate an elected one. “The federal legislation for an elected senate has been passed,” he said. “It is up to each province to determine whether they want to enact the legislation to
have an elected senate.” Only Alberta currently has an elected senate. Wilks said he believes that the senate does serve a purpose, as last year three bills were sent back because senators felt they wouldn’t pass.

Key City Theatre season announced Matt Dusk kicks it off Sept. 20; Ron Sexsmith, Judy Collins, Ashley MacIsaac scheduled to take the stage in 2013/14 Continued from page 1 On October 7, one of Canada’s greatest singer-songwriters will be taking the stage in Cranbrook. Ron Sexsmith by rights should be a household name in this country, considering the number of famous admirers he has, including Elvis Costello, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Steve Earle, and Sheryl
Crow, many of whom have covered Sexsmith’s songs. His albums have been released to critical acclaim, and only in recent years has he started to garner the widespread public recognition he deserves. Opening the show for Sexwmith will be Jenn Grant, who is touring her latest release
“The Beautiful Wild.” Connie Kaldor appears on October 22, a versatile and highly renowned Canadian folk artist. Originally from the prairies, the threetime Juno award winning Kaldor has released 14 albums, and her fan base expands with every show. On November 3, the Bergmann Piano Duo
will dazzle concert-goers with and eclectic, dynamic and energetic program. Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann have been performing as a duo for two decades, playing with orchestras, soloing as a duo, and performing chamber music with other artists. 176 keys on two pianos. Only days afterwards, on November 6,
KST evolves into year-round venture Continued from page 1 Its first project will be Classical Enchantment, which will bring Grammy-winning violinist Pablo Diemecke, ballet dancer Sarah Murphy-Dyson and other special guests to a gala at the Kimberley Conference Centre on Sept. 28. “It’s a rebrand,” James said. “We’ve had conversations over the winter and just threw out the idea of having more than just a summer season. Summer theatre has proven to be successful and has been embraced by both residents and visitors. The mandate of the company has not changed, we will just present more productions throughout the year.” James says the vision is first and foremost to honour the legacy of the board who built Summer Theatre over the past 14 years. “It’s really imperative that the public recognize the contribution that these past board members have given to arts and culture in Kimberley. It’s truly outstanding. “Now the torch is passing. Many of the board members are retiring and I will be recruiting new board members. The former board members built this company from start to now. “We are not taking away summer theatre, but we will begin our first season in September and produce a project every six weeks.” The company will continue to operate out of the Platzl location that served as the Summer Theatre box office this year, a concept that worked exceptionally well, James says, giving
the company a visibility it didn’t have before. Eventually the front half of the space will be for the box office and administration and the back a rehearsal space, green room, costume studio. Productions will take place at various venues around town, from the
smaller, intimate theatre at Centre 64 to the more expansive McKim Theatre to the Conference Centre for gala evenings like the upcoming Classical Enchantment. “I’m in here for the long run,” James said. “Residents should embrace this. It’s a gift to them. We can bring world class artists to this
region. There is no reason we shouldn’t enjoy professional, quality productions all year long.” James says there are different markets for different seasons, so with a little community support, Kootenay Performing Arts Company should be able to make it.

Romeo and Juliet is transformed for the ballet, beginning with the smell of a rose, the prick of a thorn, and a journey that in the end is about purity more than darkness. On April 16, renowned fiddler Ashley MacIsaac makes his first appearance in Cranbrook. MacIsaac is one of the most celebrated Canadian roots musicians of all time, achiev-
one of America’s most famous singers rolls into Cranbrook. Judy Collins is known for her eclectic tastes in the material she records, as well as for her activism. She continues to lead a busy touring and performing life. As we head into 2014, an old friend is returning with his brand of b o u n d a r y - b re a k i n g Latin guitar. Juno-winning Oscar Lopez will be in concert January 25, with his folk and nouveau flamenco guitar stylings that venture fearlessly and powerfully into different genres,
ing fame and notoriety from an early age. He has achieved international acclaim by adding his modern take on traditional Cape Breton fiddle music, helping bring Celtic music into the modern era with new generations of fans. The Key City Theatre is also incorporating a “New Artist Showcase” into the season. Set for March 8, the showcase will feature Joshua Hylsop and Steph MacPherson, modern day folk musicians and singers.

SUMMER READING CHALLENGE
Tumultuous events in ‘Cutting for Stone’ I’m just going to ‘fess up: I fell off the wagon. This week, I started reading “The Elegance of the Hedgehog” by French writer Muriel Barbery. I chose it, foolishly, because it is short. I quickly learnt that while it is shorter in words than many books I’ve read in this book-aweek challenge, those words are dense and philosophical, and need to be read at leisure with a reflective mind. At the best of times, I wouldn’t have the patience for this novel. I suffered through the first ten per cent then — realizing I had only three work days in which to finish it — I gave up. Because of my failure, I have chosen to review a novel that I read earlier this year, before my challenge. It’s a glorious one, so I hope you will forgive me for breaking my own rules. This week I’m in Australia for a quick visit to family. That blighted plane trip will give me plenty of time to read the last novel in my Summer Reading Challenge. Stay tuned. *** Oh my, how this book made me weep. Its epic, life-long scope, narrated by one of the most charming characters I’ve
SALLY MACDONALD ever met in fiction, is pure magic. Author Abraham Verghese deserves every last accolade he received for this masterpiece. Have I sold you on it yet? Let me go on. “Cutting For Stone” opens with the birth of twins Marion and Shiva Stone in an Ethiopian hospital. They are the children of two hospital staff members: an Indian nun, Sister Mary Joseph Praise, and a British surgeon, Thomas Stone. It is not a happy moment. Superficially joined at the head, the twins can’t be born naturally. Sister Mary Joseph Praise has been labouring a full day before she is found, close to death. It is up to surgeon Stone to deliver his sons, but he fails them inexplicably and terribly.
Saved at the last moment by another doctor, the twins survive. But their mother doesn’t. Their devastated father flees. This powerful event sets the scene for the entire novel. Told from Marion’s perspective, it follows the twins through their childhood, raised by two other doctors who live and work at Missing Hospital. The turmoil in the country around them does not often penetrate the walls of the hospital grounds, but when it does, it is personal and tumultuous. Although the two brothers grow together with an inexplicable connection to one other, they also develop into two very different men. What they share is a passion for medicine. What Marion endures alone is a deep need to know his father, and why he abandoned them. Author Abraham Verghese, it is immediately clear, is an accomplished physician himself. Like Marion and Shiva, he was born in Ethiopia. His parents were Indian teachers. “Cutting For Stone” is his first novel. Critically acclaimed, it spent longer than two years on the New York Times bestseller list. And rightly so. From the opening chapter to the final
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The cover of Abraham Verghese’s ‘Cutting For Stone’ sentence, every little piece of this novel is wonderful. “Cutting For Stone”, once you’ve read it, will stick with you. Marion Stone holds a special place in my heart, and writing this review brings those fond emotions back to the forefront. I can’t possibly say anything greater than: please read it. You won’t be sorry. Sally MacDonald is a reporter at the Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Letters to the Editor
Let the debate begin
The big news last week involved Justin Trudeau and his announced support for the legalization of marijuana and, heaven forbid, he admitted that he had smoked a few of those “things.” What really surprised me was that the defenders of the status-quo were quite muted. Several people in high positions didn’t comment, or said it was a federal issue. I even thought that the response from the Federal Government, for them, was quite muted. Twitter comments seemed to be running largely in Trudeau’s favor. May I comment on what I think is the reason. The so called “war on grow-ops” is a colossal failure. The big losers are the Canadian taxpayers who are getting shafted, and the big winners are the gangs and crime lords. Prime Minister Harper and other governments are spending $500 million each year of your money on enforcement and punishment related to marijuana convictions. Since he became Prime Minister there have been 475,000 convictions related to marijuana. Many of these convictions were for being caught with small amounts of marijuana. Throwing these people in jail and ruining their lives represents another staggering cost for the taxpayers. A Canadian Police Association has recently recommended tickets be issued for minor offenses instead of jail sentences. This has been firmly rejected by the Harper Government. There is no way his “base” would agree to that. BC Hydro has told the Utilities Commission that it is losing $100 million each year from power that is stolen by grow-ops. They use ten times as much power as the average house.
The Power Corporation included these estimates as part of its justification for spending $930 million on smart meters for all customers. These meters should make it easier to detect theft. And this, of course, will cause increases in our power fees. And if a BC Hydro’s submission to the Utilities Commission is accurate, there are certainly more than 20,000 grow ops and maybe as many as 30,000 in B.C. There are 1,300 liquor stores, private and public in B.C. For every liquor store there are 13 grow-ops, most of which are stealing electricity from BC Hydro. Any neutral observer will say that without thousands more police officers nothing will change. The idea that we are winning the war is a fantasy. These facts just scratch the surface of what taxpayers are paying. All this suggests that thinking that the present system will put a dent in the growops is pure fantasy. Estimates of the total revenue from grow-ops is “all over the park.” Forbes Magazine put the figure at $7 billion per year a few years ago. It is clear that there will be no change in the status-quo in the near future. Is it possible that we could have an intelligent fact based debate on the subject. I hope so. Alan Coulter Cranbrook
Back to school safety
The Cranbrook RCMP has made traffic safety a priority for 2013/2014. The reason for this is that roadways are a very dynamic environment with situations and circumstances that can change quickly. There is great potential for injury and property damage if drivers are not obeying the rules of the road. Signs and signals such as
school zones, stop, yield signs and traffic lights are but a few of the tools used to assist drivers in keeping safe while they navigate the city streets. In order for these signs and signals to work, they first need to be seen then obeyed. There is never a more important time for drivers to make and keep themselves aware of their surroundings, than the fall when our children return to school. These kids, from kindergarten right up to grade 12 will be on the sidewalks and crossing streets in a very short time and the Cranbrook RCMP would like to remind motorists to obey all traffic laws and be aware of school zones within the city and our rural areas. The Cranbrook RCMP will be out during the first week of school and beyond helping to ensure returning students are safe as they too navigate the streets of our city. Cpl P.E.

Cure for the Senate Canada’s problem with the Senate could be solved. We should vote for a party that vows to quit making appointment when vacancies occur. Eventually, the institution would dissolve itself. The last Senator standing would turn out the lights and the Canadian taxpayer would be rid of the burden. It would take a while but with every vacancy not filled, the savings would begin immediately. This plan would also keep the constitution lawyers at bay (well, maybe not). We have to start somewhere soon. Robert Hinds Cranbrook

SPORTS BRIEFS With knee surgically repaired, Vonn plans to return to snow
VAIL, Colo. - Lindsey Vonn dropped into a skier’s tuck as if she were trying to gain a little extra speed on a downhill course. Only, this was simply while balancing on a ball at a local gym. Soon, that could actually take place on snow. Vonn’s surgically repaired right knee is nearly fully healed and she plans to ski this weekend in Portillo, Chile. For the moment, the plan is to have Vonn ski with the U.S. team, just a few easy runs to test out her knee. But later at the camp, she’s hoping to navigate through some slalom gates and maybe, just maybe - knee willing, of course - even open it up on the course. The four-time overall World Cup champion is eyeing a possible return to competition in late November at a stop in Beaver Creek, Colorado, which is near her hometown of Vail. That’s about three months ahead of the Sochi Olympics in February, where she will defend her downhill title. Associated Press
Bolt sees greatness in 3rd Olympic triple gold in Rio
ZURICH, Switzerland - Usain Bolt aims to achieve greatness with a third Olympic triple gold medal haul at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games. “To actually go to Rio and win again would be a feat in itself,” Bolt said Wednesday, speaking ahead of the Weltklasse Diamond League meeting. The Jamaican will run in the 100 metres on Thursday after a world championship sweep in 100, 200 and 4x100 relay in Moscow, where he talked of working hard to attain “the greatness thing.” He completed the same triple at the past two Olympics and is focused on repeating in Rio. “For me, the key thing is just to go to defend my titles, and that’s my focus,” Bolt said. “It would be the first time anybody has ever won three times in a row.” Bolt became the most decorated athlete in world championships history this month, with his career tally of eight golds and two silvers lifting him above American great Carl Lewis.

Ice prospects strut their stuff Scrimmages between Kootenay’s young guns mark the official opening of training camp
TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
For the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft class, this will be their first time at a Kootenay Ice training camp, however, those snapped up in previous years will be hunting for a full-time spot on the roster. Hudson Elynuik is just one of many. Elynuik, the son of former NHLer Pat Elynuik, joined the Ice at the tail end of the season last year to cover some injury issues, registering an assist in nine games. Prior to joining the Ice, Elynuik was playing Midget AAA in the AMHL, where he tallied 11 goals and 14 assists in 28 games. When he finished up with the Calgary Flames, it allowed him to become available to the Ice, which made the call in March. “It was unbelievable,” said Elynuik. “Especially coming in, playing playoffs with a great team. We were the underdogs and pushed ourselves to the limits and unfortunately we came up sort, but still just an unbelievable experience, playing against the Edmonton Oil Kings.” Elynuik, who was selected 60th overall in the third round of the 2012 bantam draft, said many lessons were learned in those nine games. “The level of pace, the speed, what it actually takes to be a Western Hockey League player,” he said. “It takes a big commitment, a

around after playing one game while wearing Ice colours in his hometown of Red Deer. “It was a lot of fun,” Steenbergen said. “I was super excited because I’ve grown up watching the Rebels, so it was a dream of mine to play in that rink, so it was so surreal.
“It’s a big stepping stone, coming up from Midget to the WHL, so hopefully I can earn my spot and just got to compete every day in and out.” Hudson Elynuik “I actually played quite a bit, I got a lot of ice time, so it was a lot of fun even though we lost 5-1.” Steenbergen was a late cut at the end of last year’s training camp, but went back home to the Red Deer Chiefs in the AMHL, playing 32 games and tallying three goals and 13 assists. The Chiefs nearly dropped out of the Alberta Midget playoffs, when they were tied at two games apiece with the Calgary Buffaloes in the division final matchup. However, the Chiefs went on to edge their Calgary opponents with
a 5-4 overtime decision to gain a berth in the final. Again, splitting two games apiece, the Chiefs went on to win the final game 5-0 for the Alberta Midget Championship. After downing the Vancouver North West Giants of the B.C. Major Midget League in a bestof-three series, the Chiefs went to Sault Ste. Marie and steamrolled through the Telus Cup tournament,beating the Ottawa Junior 67’s 5-0 in the final. “It was awesome, we’re national champs, it was unreal,” said Steenbergen. “It was so hard to get there—our team, what we had to go through.” After things settled down halfway through May, Steenbergen hit the gym four or five times a week and began skating in July. He’s taking a leadership role in the prospects games and isn’t afraid to let his nasty side show went the prospects and veterans are mixed together for three days of scrimmages this weekend. “Last year I was trying to make it, but this year, I’m not going home. I want to make it. I’ve got no other choice,” Steenbergen said. For some of the Ice sophomores, this year’s camp will be a different
experience. Both Kyle O’Connor and Matthew Thomas made the cut last year, and admit that while they don’t want to sit on their laurels in camp, they are grateful for their rookie seasons and hope to continue their development. “Last year I really had no idea what to expect,” said Thomas, a defenceman who made the team as a walk-on. “I floated around some different dub camps and every one was a bit different. Now I have a little more confidence this year, knowing I was on the team last year “It’s a bit different, and I feel more confident with my game. Last year, I never knew where I stood in camp. It was tough to gage sometimes, so now I have a better idea of that and where I fit in, compared to everyone coming to camp.” O’Connor, a forward who spent his inaugural year with the Ice as a 16-year-old, agreed. “I definitely don’t want to get complacent, but I definitely know what to expect,” O’Connor said. “I know what my role is, and I definitely have to prove my best out there to get where I want to be this year.”

Breakdown of the Sullivan Shakedown Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor
Mountain bikers came out in droves to support the first annual Sullivan Shakedown last weekend in Kimberley, hitting the trails at the Kimberley Nature Park and Nordic Centre. Split up into two days of riding, roughly 30 youths hit the 3 km and 6 km courses on Saturday, while the 60-plus adult participants competed in 22 km and 44 km distance courses on Sunday. It’s been 13 years since Kimberley has had a mountain bike race and Cooper felt it was time to organize something close to home. “I made a presenta-
tion to the City of Kimberley, the Nature Park society, the Trail Society, and had support, so I went ahead and started organizing the race in December (2012).” While he achieved his main goal of attracting local riders, he also had competitors come in from the West Kootenay and Alberta. Numbers seemed a little low at first, but numbers picked up two weeks before raceday. “It’d be nice to have a couple races in the region here so that people don’t have to go too far to ride their mountain bikes,” added Cooper.

Ice prospects and veterans to mix up with scrimmages Continued from page 8 Both doled out the same advice to the young prospects hoping to land a spot on the 2013/2014 edition of the Ice. “Don’t be nervous. Go out and play your game, because lots of guys try to come out here and try and be someone they’re not out on the ice, and that never helps,” said Thomas. “I remember last year, I tried to play simple and not do too much, and I guess it worked pretty well. Stick to what works and don’t try to do too much special stuff.” O’Connor echoed the same simple words of
wisdom. “Don’t hold your stick too tight and just play your game,” he said. CAMP NOTES: Team White was the victor in both prospect scrim-

Venus Williams Encarnacion leads Blue Jays 7-2 past Yankees makes early exit from US Open GREGORY STRONG Canadian Press
HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press
NEW YORK - Venus Williams dug herself out of deficits over and over again, until she simply ran out of solutions, exiting the U.S. Open before the third round for the third year in a row. At 33, two-time champion Williams was the oldest woman in the second round at Flushing Meadows, and while she made things interesting after a poor start to the match and to the final set, she couldn’t sustain her solid play all the way through and lost to 56th-ranked Zheng Jie of China 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (5) on a wet Wednesday. The match last 3 hours, 2 minutes - making it the longest between women in the tournament so far - and the third set alone went 1 1/2 hours, closing when Williams missed a volley, then a return, on the last two points. She
wound up with 44 unforced errors in all, half on forehands. During her on-court interview, Zheng addressed the partisan crowd that was pulling for Williams, saying: “First, I want to say, ‘Sorry, guys.”’ Rain began falling in the early afternoon, jumbling the schedule, and eight women’s singles matches were postponed, including Williams’ younger sister, defending champion Serena, against Galina Voskoboeva. Canadian Eugenie Bouchard’s match against Germany’s Angelique Kerber was postponed until Thursday. In all, there were more than four hours of delays during the day, and 2012 men’s winner Andy Murray had yet to play a point as the time approached 9 p.m. Wednesday.
TORONTO - The youngsters are getting a shot with the Toronto Blue Jays now that the last-place team is essentially focused on next season. Players like Ryan Goins, Anthony Gose and Moises Sierra showed what they could do in Wednesday’s 7-2 victory over the New York Yankees. Goins scored twice and made a key defensive play, Sierra had two of Toronto’s 10 hits and Gose made a highlight-reel catch in shallow centre field. “This is their opportunity,” said Jays manager John Gibbons. “They bring a lot of energy to the field, a lot of intensity. It’s fun to watch them play.” Toronto (60-74) jumped out to an early four-run lead and Edwin Encarnacion made it a 6-0 game in the second inning with a two-run homer. Starter Todd Redmond (2-2) was effective over 5 2-3 innings
as the Blue Jays won the rubber match of the three-game series in front of 36,565 fans at Rogers Centre. New York (70-63) fell 5 1/2 games back in the wild-card race and 8 1/2 games behind first-place Boston in the American League East. “Any loss at this point in the season is rough on us,” said Yankees catcher Chris Stewart. “Time is ticking away and we don’t really have much room for error.” It was Toronto’s first series win of the season against the Yankees. Redmond said team defence was a big factor. “You have to give it up to those guys,” he said. “The ball is smoked down the line and Edwin made a diving play, Gose running in and making a diving play and Brett (Lawrie) with that (catch off a) line drive. “Great plays all around. I have to take my hat off to those guys.” Goins has hit safely in his first six major-league games and boasts an impressive .455 batting av-
erage. He showed off his arm in the fourth inning with a perfect throw from shallow right field to catch Alex Rodriguez at the plate. Gibbons likes what he has seen from the rookie, who spent most of the season at triple-A Buffalo.
“This is their opportunity. They bring a lot of energy to the field, a lot of intensity. It’s fun to watch them play.” John Gibbons “You name it - defence, offence, and he’s in tune with things,” Gibbons said. “He doesn’t look in awe, you know.” Gose showed his range in the fifth inning by sprinting into shallow centre field to make a tremendous diving catch that robbed Stewart of a base hit. “He can flat out play centre field with any-
body,” Gibbons said. “He’s like anybody else, he was here last year but he’s still feeling his way around, trying to establish himself. He’s doing some nice jobs for us.” The Blue Jays batted around in the first inning against New York starter Hiroki Kuroda (11-10). Goins got things started with a double and Adam Lind reached on a walk. Lawrie, from Langley, B.C., drove them both in with a two-out double to the left-centre field gap. After Rajai Davis was hit by a pitch, J.P. Arencibia struck out but ran to first base when Stewart gave up a passed ball. Stewart’s throw to first was wide and ended up rolling into foul territory, allowing Lawrie and Davis to score on the error. Goins singled in the second inning and Encarnacion followed with his 34th home run of the season, a rainbow shot that left him one RBI short of the 100 plateau. Arencibia made it 7-0 an inning later when he
scored on a sacrifice fly by Jose Reyes. Redmond rolled through the first three innings but gave up a pair of runs in the fourth. After walking Curtis Granderson and Alfonso Soriano, Rodriguez hit an RBI single to left field that put the Yankees on the board. Soriano moved to third and scored when Mark Reynolds doubled off the wall in right-centre field. Sierra made a valiant effort by jumping against the wall but couldn’t make the catch. Gose backed him up nicely, gathered the ball and threw it to Goins, who fired a strike to Arencibia to get Rodriguez at the plate as the crowd roared its approval. Redmond gave up three hits, two earned runs, four walks and struck out seven. Kuroda allowed five earned runs and nine hits over five innings of work. He walked a batter and had four strikeouts.

Environmental Protection Notice Application for a Permit Under The Provisions of the Environmental Management Act (Section 137) We, Teck Coal Limited, intend to submit this application to the Lieutenant Governor in Council to authorize the discharge of effluent from a sediment pond. The source of discharge is mine affected water in the Dry Creek valley. The land upon which the facility will be situated is Lot 1, Plan NEP 21818, District Lots 4588, 6755 and 6756, located near Elkford British Columbia, within the Dry Creek watershed. The land upon which the discharge will occur during initial development (Year 1) is Lot 1, Plan NEP 21818, District Lot 4588, located near Elkford, British Columbia, within the Dry Creek watershed. Afterwards, the land upon which the discharge will occur is Lot 1, Plan NEP 21818, District Lot 4588, located near Elkford, British Columbia within the Fording River valley. The maximum rate of effluent discharged from this facility will be 1.8 m3/second. The operating period for this facility will be 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. The discharge will be managed to meet instream site performance objectives of 10 µg/L selenium and 0.38 µg/L cadmium in Dry Creek (as maximum 30-day mean values). The characteristics of the discharge to the Fording River (as maximum 30-day mean values) are as follows: • Total Suspended Solids 50 mg/L • Cadmium 0.0014 mg/L • Nitrate 141 mg/L • Selenium 0.32 mg/L • Sulphate 1,067 mg/L • Total Dissolved Solids 1,982 mg/L The types of treatment to be applied to the discharge are: a diversion structure on Dry Creek will facilitate interception and diversion of mine-affected water from the Dry Creek watershed, a transfer pipeline will convey
mine-affected flows from the diversion structure to a series of three sediment ponds, an outfall structure will discharge water from the sediment pond system to Dry Creek during initial development (Year 1) and a conveyance pipeline system will serve to convey water from the sediment pond system to a discharge location on the Fording River (starting in Year 2). Working in combination with the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan, currently being developed by Teck Coal Limited, this system has been designed to manage water quality in Dry Creek and the Fording River at levels that will not have significant adverse impacts to aquatic life. Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed discharge of waste and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant at: • www.teck.com, using the online feedback form • Email directly to feedbackteckcoal@teck.com • Send to Teck Coal Limited, PO Box 1777, Sparwood, BC V0B 2G0 With a copy to the Minister of Environment at: Minister of Environment c/o Geoff Ingram Executive Assistant Room 112—Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8W 1X4 Geoff.Ingram@gov.bc.ca The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in relation to this application will become part of the public record.

Trove of artifacts unearthed during museum construction Ste ve L ambert THE CANADIAN PRESS
WINNIPEG — Tools, pieces of ceramic pots and other artifacts dating as far back as 900 years are shedding new light on the role an area of modern-day Winnipeg played in aboriginal lives. Officials with the Canadian Museum For Human Rights, along with archaeologists, revealed Wednesday some of the 400,000 artifacts retrieved during construction of the building, which sits at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers — a place where aboriginals gathered for centuries. Some fragments of ceramic pottery include a mixture of styles seen in First Nations pieces to the south and west. The discovery reinforces the idea that The Forks, as the site is known, was a meeting place of different cultures, said Mireille Lamontagne, the museum’s manager of education programs. “So we start to ask questions as to how were people travelling, were they inter-marrying and then sharing those traditions?” The dig also uncovered 191 hearths or fire pits, which may suggest The Forks was more than just a gathering place — it
may have also seen seasonal habitation. Archaeologists also found maize and bean residues on ceramics, as well as hoe fragments, which suggests farming took place there centuries ago. Officials cautioned, however, that the farming implements could have been brought in from elsewhere. Another find — an intact ceremonial pipe — is similar to those made by aboriginals far to the south and further supports the notion that sophisticated trade networks existed, Lamontagne said. The fact that artifacts from many different cultures were found in one place also backs oral histories among local aboriginals concerning a large peace gathering of more than a half-dozen First Nations about 500 years ago. The Forks was a location prized by many, Lamontagne said. “It’s clear ... that the wealth of resources, both plant life and animal life, made it such an attractive place to stop. It was also a strategic location, specifically in terms of things like warfare or political interaction.” The museum, which is slated to open next year, has been the subject of contro-
versy. Originally pushed a decade ago by the late media mogul Izzy Asper, the museum was projected to cost $260 million. But as time went by, construction costs escalated — first to $310 million, then to $351 million — and governments at all levels faced increasing requests for money. In 2007, the federal government essentially took over the project and made a commitment to cover its projected operating costs of $21.7 million a year. It’s the first national museum outside the Ottawa-Gatineau region. Construction also caused concern that a traditional aboriginal location was being disturbed, even though it had earlier been used as a rail yard. Stu Murray, the museum’s president, defended the decision to build on the site. “Had it not been decided that that was the site, who knows what would have gone there,” he said Wednesday. “I think at the end of the day, what we’ve been able to do is create something that is educational, that is all about preserving, protecting and respecting what these artifacts indeed require.”

Play it smart for Labour Day festivities
D
espite the name, many Canadians don’t labor much on Labour Day. Rather, the federal holiday pays homage to working men and women, and has done so since 1894. Most people associate Labour Day with a chance to gather with family and friends for one last summer hurrah. This year Labour Day falls on Monday, the 3rd of September and will mark the unofficial end to the summer sea-

son for Canadians in the 10 provinces and 3 territories, as well as their American neighbors to the south. The last big travel weekend of the summer, Labour Day weekend witnesses many Canadians taking to the roads in search of their final adventure before school begins anew or business returns to normal hours after the relaxed summer season. Rural destinations typically notice a spike in tourism come Labour Day weekend. Savvy travelers know to

plan ahead before embarking on a Labour Day weekend getaway. A major weekend for tourism, Labour Day weekend finds hundreds of cars on the roadways, all heading to similar destinations. Sitting in stopand-go traffic is often the bane of anyone looking to relax on the last summer weekend of the year. It also can be taxing on a car. It is essential to have your car, van or truck inspected to be sure it’s in proper working order. It pays to have an oil change and to have fluid levels topped off. Also, have tires checked and the pressure adjusted. Taking each of these routine maintenance precautions can help reduce the likelihood of being stranded on the side of the road as you watch happy Labour Day revelers drive by. Although many people like to get a jump-start on travel plans by leaving early, this practice has grown more commonplace, so leaving early no longer guarantees less traffic. One way to beat traffic is to do the majority of your driving in the evening. And because the scores of vacationers will be rushing back for work and school in time for Tuesday morning, you may
want to consider leaving very early Labour Day morning or the night prior to beat the traffic home. Doing so means planning the majority of your festivities for the weekend instead of Labour Day itself. Because Labour Day is a recognized holiday, bank and government offices will be closed. Some stores or restaurants may be working on holiday hours, as will public transportation. Knowing this in advance can help you plan accordingly. Despite Labour Day being a holiday in both Canada and the United States, border points between the countries will still be staffed. Therefore, if you’re traveling between the two countries, be sure to have all proper documentation with you and at the ready. If yours is a long trip, be sure to bring adequate refreshments with you. This will reduce the need to stop at rest stops and pay premium prices for food. Take-along-snacks are also more healthy because they allow drivers to choose healthy snacks as opposed to roadside fare, which is typically fast food. Be sure to also pack Continued on Page 15

Plan your driving around non-peak travel times to avoid traffic. Continued from Page 14 activities for children to keep them occupied. Some people prefer to avoid the travel rush and host a party at home. Because stores will fill up with shoppers nearer to the weekend, try to shop as early as possible in the week to cut down on shopping with the crowds. Many people host their own events, so if you’re planning on throwing a party or barbecue, alert guests well in advance. Labour Day is also a holiday when people take to the water. Seasides are often filled, backyard pools become oases and traffic on lakes and waterways is bustling with boats and water sports equipment. It is vital to brush up on water safety to avoid injury. Here are some tips to avoid water-related accidents or injuries. * Visit a Canadian Red Cross center to take a swimming course. * Do not drink alcohol and captain a boat. * By law, boats are required to have enough life jackets/personal flotation devices on board for everyone. They also should be properly sized for the passengers on board. Life jackets need to be approved by Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard, or Fisheries and Oceans Canada. * An infant and small children may drown in less than two inches of water. Never leave a child alone around water. * Constant supervision is needed when children are around water. Adults need supervision, too. Always swim with a buddy. * Keep gates around pools latched so that children cannot wander near the pool and accidentally fall in. * Swim at beaches manned by a lifeguards. * Pay attention to all safety notices regarding potential swimming hazards in the water. Labour Day is a time to relax and enjoy the end of summer. Plan ahead so it can be a fun time for all.

NEWS U.S. launches spy satellite Canada downplays its own military role in Syria THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — A massive rocket carrying a spy satellite for the U.S. government launched from the California coast Wednesday. The Delta IV Heavy rocket left the launch pad at Vandenberg Air Force Base and sped toward low-Earth orbit, officials at United Launch Alliance said. The rocket carried a satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office, which oversees the nation’s constellation of intelligence-gathering satellites. Since the mission is classified, no other details were available. United Launch Alliance is a joint venture of Lockheed Martin Corp. and The Boeing Co. to provide space launch services to the federal government with their Atlas and Delta rocket programs. At 23 stories, the Delta IV Heavy is the largest rocket in the country. The last time it launched from Vandenberg — in 2011 — the roar of the engines shook the nearby city of Lompoc. Some people reported hearing the engine roar from 50

MONTREAL — The Government of Canada says its military role in Syria could be limited, depending on what weaponry might be used. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird says Canada does not have the weapons to contribute to the types of attacks being discussed. “Some have speculated in the media and elsewhere that it could involve cruise missiles and armed drones — neither of which Canada has,” Baird told reporters after meeting with a Syrian opposition figure. “We’ll let decisions be made before we know that we have even the capacity to contribute militarily.” But he said Canada and its allies are “of one mind” that chemical weapons have been used and a firm international response is needed. “We will continue to work with them in lock-step, and review a full-range of options going forward,” he said. He said Canadians are horrified by the scenes of atrocities committed against civil-
ians. And he laid the blame squarely on the Syrian authorities. “The Syrian regime has charted a dangerous path — and the appropriate consequences will follow,” Baird said. “The entire world was shocked and horrified by the images they saw on television following the attack. Images of children gasping for a simple breath. Images of motionless bodies of entire families lying there, as if they hadn’t awoken from their sleep. “Although these people may be strangers to us, they share one common humanity. They are someone’s brother, or sister, mother, and father, neighbour or friend. All Canadians find this to be absolutely abhorrent, and repugnant.” Baird was in Montreal meeting with George Sabra, the head of Syria’s main Western-backed opposition group. He expressed skepticism that any action against Syria would emerge from the UN Security Council, whose membership includes pro-Assad Russia.

Helping students in need of a little help Parents want their kids to be as successful as possible in the classroom. Good grades illustrate a desire to learn and excel, and high marks can make it easier for students to be accepted into top-rated secondary schools later on in their academic careers. But some students still need a little
extra help with their classes no matter how hard they work. These children may benefit from tutoring or oneon-one sessions in the classroom.

* Schedule an appointment with the teacher. Your child’s teacher likely spends six or more hours per day in the classroom with students and will be able to better recognize if your son or daughter is falling behind. He or she also may have a cursory understanding of some learning disability warning signs. The teacher also may refer specialized counselors who can screen students for certain conditions. If the teacher has not reached out to you but your child is lagging behind, take a proactive approach and request a meeting.

Helping students in need of extra help
* Analyze the home environment. Has there been a traumatic situation or big changes at home? A move, a death in the family, a divorce, and other incidents can affect how a child performs in the classroom. Your child may not have a learning disability, he or she may be experiencing emotional problems that are creating difficulties in and out of the classroom. Rather than help with schoolwork, he or she may need some emotional support or counseling. * Develop a tutoring
plan. Some parents can tutor their kids on their own. Others prefer a third party to remove the emotional aspect from the tutoring. The school may be able to suggest tutors for afterschool hours. Your child also may be able to spend some time during school hours with specialized tutors. For example, some schools break children into guided reading groups depending on their aptitudes. Children who need more instruction sit with a reading tutor, who helps them at the students’ own pace.
* Be supportive. Very often children who have a learning disability or are underperforming in the classroom experience self-esteem issues. This can impair their confidence in other subjects or even outside of the classroom. As a parent you can show support for your child, praising his or her success rather than pointing out any failings. * Set reasonable goals. Progress may be slow-going, but no one should get discouraged. Discuss your child’s progress with a tutor or teacher
and make sure that the goals your child has are attainable so he or she can feel good about academics. Praise and small rewards may provide the inspiration kids need to stick with the program. Not every student catches on to lessons at the same rate as others. Parents may have to work together with educators to develop personalized tutoring for children who are lagging behind for any number of reasons.
Make the morning rush to school a lot less hectic Weekday mornings during the school year can be hectic. Parents who must get their youngsters ready for school while preparing for their own day often find themselves rushing through the morning and wishing there was just a little more time before they had to run out the door. * Get a head start the night before. Perhaps the most effective way to make mornings less hectic during the school year is to accomplish as much as possible the night before. Instead of making kids’ lunches each morning, make them at night right before you go to bed. Along with your kids, lay out their clothes for the next day before they go to sleep each night. This way kids won’t waste time in the morning agonizing over what to wear, and they’re liable to put up less of a fuss in the morning if they had a hand in choosing their attire for the day. * Avoid turning your kitchen into a din-
er each morning. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it also can be the most indecisive meal of the day. Kids likely won’t want to eat the same thing for breakfast every day, but give them fewer options so you aren’t wasting time discussing what they are going to eat. The more closely your breakfast options resemble those of a diner, the more time your child is liable to waste choosing what to eat. * Limit time in the bathroom. Spending too much time in the bathroom is another way families waste time on weekday mornings. Bathroom time should be limited to a set amount of time per person so everyone can get where they need to go on time. * Locate must-have items before going to bed at night. Your school-aged youngsters and you will need certain things before you can leave home every morning. Car keys, cell phones,
wallets, eyeglasses, and backpacks are a handful of items all of you will need at some point during your day. Locate these items before you go to bed each night and place them in the same convenient place each night. This saves you the trouble of running around in the morning looking for lost car
keys or wondering where your youngster’s eyeglasses ended up the night before. * Turn the television off in the morning. Watching television in the morning can be very distracting, which can make it harder for adults and kids alike to get out the door on time in the morning.
Host an International Student! School Districts 5 and 6 invite families throughout the East Kootenay to host one or two international students starting this fall. Most students are from Germany, Mexico, Brazil and Japan, will be studying in Grades 8 to 12, and will be staying either for one semester or one school year. We encourage empty-nester parents or any family to consider hosting two students from different countries. Such double placements are consistently very successful. Host families receive a tax-free allowance each month per student, and weekend and/or vacation coverage is available. To receive an information package:

Diane Manson of Mountain City Travel explains why Disneyland is still the happiest place on earth
“To all who come to this happy place, Welcome! Disneyland is your land.” Walt Disney
T
hat’s a brilliant description of a world filled with timeless fantasy and adventure. Where else on the planet can you sail with pirates, explore exotic jungles, meet fairy-tale princesses, dive under the ocean and rocket through stars – all in the same day! Disneyland is divided into three main sections, the largest being iconic Disneyland. You’ll find fun and adventure roaming amongst the 57 attractions and ‘themed lands.” Walking into the Disney gates you’ll arrive at Main Street, USA; where there’s a daily parade and a perfect view of Cinderella’s castle. Walk a little further and branch off to New Orleans Square, Critter Country, Mickey’s Toontown, Frontierland and Tomorrowland. Discover new rides (Innoventions) and
don’t miss the classics (Pirates of the Caribbean, “it’s a small world”). The recent addition of Buena Vista Street and awe-inspiring Cars Land, are the newest lands to be added to the ‘other park’ – California Adventure Park. There’s a huge variety of shows and fascinating tours to take. Two thrilling rides are California Screamin’ (a roller coaster looping around Mickey Mouse’s ears) and the Tower of Terror. Ariel’s Grotto is a great place for dinner with Princesses, and you’ll love the return of Aladdin in the musical stage show - ‘Tale of the Magic Lamp.’ Last but not least, check out Downtown Disney, where there’s great ‘Disney’ shopping. Treat yourself to a jungle themed lunch or a romantic waterfront dinner. Downtown Disney is a great place to relax (and shop) and regroup, before, after, or in the middle of your day.

A glimpse of Disneyland’s Toontown When it gets dark check out the night shows. “Fantasmic” – is a musical pyrotechnic spectacular where the forces of good and evil battle in Mickey’s dreams. There are more Parades and shows to see. Be sure to watch the riveting fireworks light up the night sky. Maybe even watch the bursting display of colours in your P.J.’s with a bag of popcorn. This is
loads of fun if your hotel balcony has a ‘fireworks-view.’ It’s little wonder Disneyland is called “The Happiest Place on Earth!” Where ever your travels take you, pixie-dust sprinkled by the Consultants at Mountain City Travel will surely enchant you.

Back to school at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council

Tuition fees at public post-secondary institutions cover less than one-third of the cost of a post-secondary education. The remaining two-thirds come from the provincial government. B.C. student loans are forgiven over a three-year period when professionals - such as nurses, medical doctors, midwives and occupational therapists - agree to work in remote, underserved communities. Government loans are interest-free for students during their studies.

Undergraduate students attending B.C. public post-secondary institutions pay the fourth-lowest tuition in Canada at an average of $5,015. B.C. tuition increases have been capped at two per cent since 2005 and our government is continuing with that policy. Starting in September 2013, B.C. will offer students free, online, open textbooks for 10 to 15 of the most popular firstand second-year subject areas.

The Cranbrook and District Arts Council is launching new educational programming. Starting this September, local schools, youth groups, daycares, and family groups will be able to book guided tours and hands-on workshops at the CDAC Art Gallery. “This programming gives children the opportunity to get involved in their art community” said Helen Duckworth, administrator of the
CDAC. “From my experience with the Kelowna Art Gallery as a lead docent for their school tours, you’ll be amazed at how this kind of programming benefits not only the children and local educational providers, but also the gallery and the community”. Tours cost $8 per student and will last approximately two hours (“less than the price of a babysitter”, Helen said). The visits consist of a guided tour of the cur-
rent exhibition with a discussion based activity to get students using their analytical skills, followed by a hands-on workshop in the CDAC workshop space. The tours aim to be educational without bombarding children with facts and terminology. “So many people think that art and art history, are dusty, boring subjects”, Helen said. “Children don’t think like that, they are more interested in experiencing, feeling and reacting

to what they see, or think they see, or imagine they could see! “Yes tours will teach students new-found art knowledge and words, but the overall emphasis will be on imparting an enjoyable experience and fostering a love of the arts.” Tours can be catered to different age and developmental levels and each student will get to keep their creations at the end of the visit. Tours are available during gallery opening hours 11-5 p.m. Tuesday to Fridays and will be guided by either Helen or a volunteer docent paring. Docents work in pairs as lead or assistant and are vital to the success of the program. Docent training is a good way for volunteers to connect with the art and artists featured in the gallery space, whilst having a good time and
really benefiting the community. If you are interested in becoming a docent for this program, please contact Helen at the CDAC office using the information below. The first tours in September will be based around an exhibition entitled ‘School Days’ where artists are required to respond to the theme. “This is a great starting point for the launch of the tours,” Helen said. “It will allow the students to relate to the subject matter and seeing school based images will act as a great catalyst for discussion and their own creative responses’. Please contact Helen Duckworth at the CDAC office on 250-426-4223 to book your tour, or for a teacher’s guide and tour information pack please e-mail cdac@ shaw.ca.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keep in mind that trying to establish an agreement could be futile in this present atmosphere. As much as you might receive several “yeses” in several days, the conversation will need to be repeated. Work with the existing situation. Tonight: Think weekend plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll be looking for an opportunity to discuss a financial investment with an associate. It might seem like a good time, but any agreement or conversation you have now will be like quicksand, as it will vanish and be forgotten very soon. Tonight: Make it your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are all smiles because you see an open period entering your life when you will have more time for yourself. Be willing to go along with someone else’s efforts and have a serious conversation. You might be too tired or cranky to open up, but try anyway. Tonight: Order in.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reach out to someone you care about. Listen to news more openly than you have in the past. You might feel hurt by someone’s comment. Let it go, as you might be oversensitive right now. Let your creativity flow when interacting with others. Tonight: Not to be found. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You know what you want. You could be rather overwhelmed by a situation that is exhausting. Your ability to make a difference allows you to make the right choices. Others might be slightly envious of how stable you are. Tonight: Zero in on what needs to happen. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Touch base with a friend. You might need to take the lead and handle a personal matter. Listen to what is being said by someone you look up to. The pressure might be very difficult to handle, as this person could have high expectations of you. Tonight: Take a stand. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep reaching out to someone
For Better or Worse
whom you care a lot about. You seem to have left this person alone for too long. Read between the lines, and honor what is happening within you. Be willing to put yourself on the line. Tonight: Try to see beyond the obvious. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Observe what is happening within your circle of friends and how they might be affected by a recent situation. It would be wise to eliminate an irritant. Consider your options carefully, yet look at the whole picture and not just at the individuals involved. Tonight: Foster a better relationship. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others continue to seek you out; they have an offer that is too good to refuse. Do not lose sight of your priorities. You need to act like the strong person you are, who knows how to lead. Someone can’t get seem to get away from how appealing you are. Tonight: Say “yes.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to approach a personal matter very dif-
ferently. You have wisdom on your side. The only mistake you could make would be to defer to someone else. You know what is good for you, and someone else can’t make the choice for you. Tonight: Run some errands. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You clearly are in weekend mode, which is fine -- if you’re on vacation. However, if you’re not, you could have an adverse effect on an associate. If at work, try for some semblance of interest in what others are doing. A boss still might see through you. Tonight: Ever playful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be very concerned about a personal or domestic issue. Being present will take self-discipline. You also might have difficulty looking at the long-term implications of a decision at the moment. Tonight: Head home, and perhaps run an errand or two along the way.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I come from an extended family that is mostly successful. However, one of my cousins was born mentally and physically handicapped, and the family story is that her parents have incompatible blood types. However, they had another child 10 years later, even though they claim the doctor told them not to, and this child was born completely normal. A few years ago, my mother disclosed that the cousin was really born with fetal alcohol syndrome. (My aunt drank heavily during that pregnancy.) However, whenever anyone broaches the subject, that person is verbally attacked by the entire family and written off as evil. What bothers me is that my aunt has always shunned her first child while doting on the younger one. During family functions, my older cousin is mostly ignored. I feel I’m the only one who has real conversations with her and cares what she has to say. I am considering writing my cousin a letter to say that I know the truth and am so sorry she has been robbed of a normal life. The only problem is if she shares my letter with the rest of the family. How do I help my cousin and bring the truth to light without causing World War III? -- At a Standstill Dear Standstill: You don’t need to expose your cousin’s condition to the rest of the family. They already know. Forcing it into the light will not help and may ostracize you, preventing you from being a source of support. Please keep listening and talking with your cousin, making her feel valued. Also contact the National Organization on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (nofas.org) at 1-800-66-NOFAS. They offer resources that can help your cousin and also provide information for you in dealing with this. Dear Annie: My husband and I travel via RV six months out of the year. I often strike up conversations with strangers. My husband, who never initiates conversations with anyone, will then butt in and take over. He rambles on and on, always talking about what he’s done or where he’s been. He won’t let the rest of us get in another word. How can I make him stop? -- Jane in an RV Dear Jane: There are myriad reasons why people interrupt and take over conversations: insecurity (the need to impress others), hearing loss (if he doesn’t let anyone else speak, he doesn’t have to respond to things he cannot hear), narcissism (no one else could possibly be more interesting than he is), control (you shouldn’t be making friends on your own), or simply cluelessness and anxiety. Talk to your husband, tell him how annoying and intrusive his behavior is, and explore the possibilities. He may not even realize he is monopolizing the conversation, so perhaps you could work on a signal to let him know when he needs to stop talking. He surely will not want others to find him boorish. Dear Annie: I have another response for “Paducah,” who said his relatives make a big deal about his alcohol consumption, but say nothing about overeating. He claims there is no difference between people who are addicted to alcohol and those who are addicted to food. It’s all addiction, and people should stop being hypocrites or making excuses for food addicts. I’d like to tell him the “difference” is that people who overeat do not get in a car and kill some innocent person because their driving skills are impaired. -- Shreveport Lass Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting. You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.
3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back. A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.
4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.
5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.
6. Advertise to Generate Traffic. Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.
7. Advertise to Make More Sales. Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.
8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.
9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.
10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.
