Grizzlies’ journey comes to a sad end

Rousselle’s road to recovery After tragic workplace accident, Cranbrook man battles the odds

C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin

The two grizzly bears who have been cruising around Kimberley and Marysville for well over a week are no more.

Conservation Officers captured one bear and were forced to euthanize the other as it was running around in the Marysville Elementary School yard Tuesday morning just as students were beginning to arrive for the day.

CO Joe Carravetta says there was no choice in putting one bear down given where they were.

“One was captured in a trap by the school but the other was running around. Kids were just starting to show up. The other one was running around not too far from the school. We had to euthanize it. We hate to do it but the safety of the kids has to come first.”

School support staff that issued a strike mandate earlier this year are sitting tight for now.

CUPE BC is presently negotiating a new contract for its 27,000 members with the B.C. government.

The negotiations come after the education workers passed a strike vote in April.

CUPE has said that this week’s bargaining dates are crucial in achieving what it considers a fair and reasonable contract settlement. If negotiations fall apart, CUPE BC president Mark Hancock said in a statement last week, CUPE members will issue a full-scale province-wide strike.

Since losing his left hand and right leg almost four years ago, Mike Rousselle has battled back along a remarkable road to recovery.

Since that time, the Cranbrook resident has returned to his job, and has been featured in “Return to Work: The Mike Rousselle Story,” a WorkSafeBC short that can be viewed on YouTube.

Rousselle will also be doing presentations for WorkSafeBC. On Nov. 26, 2009, while working on a transformer on a power pole in the Hartley Lake area near Fernie, Rousselle came into contact with a loose live wire above him.

Rousselle said he doesn’t remember most of the week surrounding the electrocution.

“The pole had a really sloppy jumper wire that goes across,” he said. “When I went up there I either made contact or it came down and contacted me.”

Harvest the pick of the apple crop Apple Capture Project returns to Kimberley and Cranbrook Submit ted

Harvest season is upon us, and with it comes an abundance of apples growing all around this area.

Wildsight Kimberley-Cranbrook would like to help you enjoy local fruit now and in the months to come, through its Apple Capture Project — an initiative that makes equipment available free of charge for picking, juicing, drying, and more.

“Through the Apple Capture Project, this community has literally turned tons of local apples into juice and other preserves,” said Wildsight Food Sustainability Coordinator Jessica Windle.

The Apple Capture Project began as a creative solution to the never-ending volunteer task of picking apples before the wildlife get to them — helping to keep both wildlife and humans safe.

Now, in the project’s third year, more and more people are finding delicious ways to take advantage of the bounty of local apples.

Wildsight has five presses and grinders in action between Kimberley and Cranbrook, with the

Kimberley units stored at the Allotment Garden and the Cranbrook ones in a shed — built by the COTR Pre-Apprenticeship Program — at the Cranbrook Public Produce Garden.

The four Excalibur dehydrators make it easy to dry large amount of fruit into tasty snacks. Picking bags, ladders, and long-handled pickers are also available.

The Apple Capture Project also features a tree-share program. Many fruit tree owners are happy to have their trees picked as a way to reduce animal attractants and to share the harvest.

There are also a number of trees on public land that are laden with fruit. Available trees are listed on the Wildsight website, and those looking for apples can find a tree close to them, contact its owner, and arrange to harvest the fruit.

Want to get involved? Visit www.wildsight.ca/apples to book equipment and find trees, or for more information call Jessica at 250-427-2535, extension 223.

Local cyclist back from French endurance race Jason de Rijk conquered the Alps in the six-day Trans-Savoie race last month

Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

A Cranbrook mountain bike rider has returned from the experience of a lifetime, cycling through the French Alps in the Trans-Savoie endurance race.

Jason de Rijk, who owns Sidekick Stickers, took part in the race from August 18 to 23.

The Trans-Savoie is a rally-style race where only the downhill sections are timed. The course begins in Val D’Isere, France, and passes through 13 villages to its conclusion in

Chamonix.

“There was no way it could have been bad.

The terrain, the people, the trails, the small French towns, the food — everything was amazing,” said de Rijk.

“It was an enduro, so you climb your bike, which is not timed, then descend your bike, which is the timed part.

That’s the part that really counts.”

There were almost 80 cyclists taking part in the race, from all over the world — England, Italy, Russia, Iceland and Sweden.

“There were a whole

lot of pros riding for bike manufacturers, and super good people from all over the world,” said de Rijk.

“There was everybody from these pros, riding for big companies, to the weekend warrior person.”

De Rijk has competed and placed in mountain bike competitions across western Canada and the U.S., but he was unprepared for the level of ability he was up against in the race.

“I finished about halfway through the field — I think I was 43rd out of 78,” he said, add-

ing that his biggest challenge was trying to compete with professional cyclists.

“That was probably the most challenging: realizing there were really good people there and there was no way I was going to catch most of them,” he said.

“I had to accept that I was going to fall a little further down. As soon as I did that, it turned into a really good time.

“I was definitely pushing the limits of what I could do to try to

make better times on the timed stages.”

The setting in the French alps provided plenty of ‘wow’ moments, from the scenery to the small towns the race passed through.

“The route went through small French towns where you could stop because you weren’t being timed. So you go for an espresso and baguette and hang out for five minutes, then continue your journey,” said de Rijk. “I don’t know how many

baguettes I ate. By the third day, my jaw was getting sore from baguettes.”

Now that he has conquered the French Alps, de Rijk is setting his sights on an endurance race closer to home.

“I think I may be inspired to do the Tour Divide. There’s a poster on my wall of it now and I’ve told a couple people

I’m going to do it, so I might actually need to do it,” said de Rijk.

Jason’s journey to France wouldn’t have been possible without the support of local businesses who sponsored him and provided prizes for a raffle fundraiser.

Continued from page 1 The other worker had his back to him.

Rousselle was electrocuted. He was brought to the Fernie Hospital then airlifted to Calgary.

“I spent a few nights there,” he said. “They amputated my arm that night and a week later, after about seven surgeries, they amputated my leg above the knee.“ He was released from the hospital after two months, but stayed another month for rehab then went to Vancouver to continue rehab. After a year there he was having problems with his right limb and had to go back for another surgery. About six months after that he was back working, at first doing scheduling, then working his way to becoming foreman for the company, Arctic

Arrow Power Contracting, formerly Arrow Installations.

His wife Brett supported him through the difficult time.

“She has been amazing, she kind of knows when to push me and when I need a break,” he said. “When I was in rehab I wasn’t doing too many activities.”

Brett suggested that he start swimming.

“She pushed me long enough and finally I ended up swimming laps and turned out I was a pretty descent swimmer with only one arm and one leg,” he said.

They have three kids: Boston, 11 months old, Jonas, four years old and Montana, nine years old.

“She looks after them and me at the same

time, so it’s pretty amazing,” he said.

Rousselle said he has even gone back in the bucket a couple times to do the odd small job, and because he has no memory of the incident, he doesn’t feel a fear of being in the same circumstances.

“I’m lucky that way,” he said.

He just got a new prosthetic leg this summer. The new model is enhanced by a computer chip that monitors stability through five sensors.

The model was covered by WorkSafe since Rousselle is at work and also in the field.

“Because we’re contractors, we do a lot of the rural area jobs and I’m out on uneven ground or hills,” he said.

“So I was pretty fortunate WorkSafe supplied it for me because of the

work I do.”

He said that’s one of the big reasons the special prosthetic was covered since he is missing his left arm. He said the prosthetic leg is quite an expensive one.

Rousselle can also use a snowmobile. At first he found it to be too much work, but WorkSafe modified it with a special brake. His prosthetic arm clips in to the

handlebars as well for steering.

“The same setup I have for the snowmobile, I have for my mountain bike,” he said .

He has another prosthetic leg that allows him to do water sports like wake-boarding.

CUPE still in talks with gov’t Continued from page 1 “Our members have been patient, and our negotiators have been patient,” said Hancock.

“And no one knows the potential impact of job action on parents and students better than our members in the K-12 sector. But the provincial government’s constant and consistent demands that our members actually receive less in a new contract are out of line with what’s happened at other provincial negotiating tables.”

In Southeast Kootenay School District 5, the local CUPE 4165 represents more than 400 workers, such as education assistants, clerical staff, trades, aboriginal workers, youth and family workers, custodians and bus drivers.

But CUPE 4165 president Sue Krause said there is no indication at

this point that a strike will be called.

“Right now, at this moment in time, we are still sitting at the table.

We are still negotiating, no one has walked away, no one has thrown their hands up in the air,” she told the Townsman Tuesday.

“We are still at the negotiation table in Vancouver. As long as we are still passing packages back and forth and still sitting there in a civil matter and talking to each other, there’s nothing right now.”

Education workers are seeking a pay increase, their first since 2009, and an improved benefits package.

The provincial government has said that wage increases would have to come out of school districts’ operating budgets.

Grizzlies’ sad end Continued from page 1

Carravetta says that the captured bear was ear-tagged and relocated about 20 km up the St. Mary Valley, which is its suspected home range.

However, he doesn’t hold out a lot of hope the bear will stay put, and if it returns to Kimberley, he says it has run out of chances — it will have to be put down.

“These bears were three years old — brothers. It’s very difficult to relocate males.

The bigger males already have the territory and the older females won’t want it around.

We took it up St. Mary’s about 12 miles. It should know the terri-

tory, but if it comes back it’s doomed to be habituated.”

Carravetta suspects that the two grizzlies were already habituated to Kimberley.

“These bears have been hanging around the edges of town for at least a month, probably feeding on berries. But when those berries dried up they moved into town and started eating fruit. Once the fruit was gone they’d be into garbage. They were starting to come out in the daylight hours. The first reports were only seeing them late at night or early morning but they were starting to appear in daylight.”

East Kootenay non-profits could win $10,000 BC Hydro’s Community Champions program supports groups that contribute to sustainability and energy conservation

S ally Mac D onal d Townsman Staff

BC Hydro is encouraging East Kootenay non-profits to take part in its Community Champions program to possibly win $10,000 for their cause.

Local non-profits that contribute to sustainability, energy efficiency and energy con-

servation, help the environment, benefit the community and engage with youth and schools can submit a YouTube video explaining their work to enter the program.

“The BC Hydro Community Champions program is for non-profit organizations around our prov-

ince who are making a positive difference in their community and working to engage, educate, create awareness and action around conservation and sustainability,” said Sally Masters, the East Kootenay’s community relations for BC Hydro.

In 2012, Wildsight’s Lake Windermere Proj-

ect won the $10,000 award for the East Kootenay.

“Last year’s submission from Wildsight was an excellent example of a non-profit organization doing terrific work in their local community,” said Masters. “Wildsight was one of many noteworthy finalists shortlisted by BC Hydro

because of its sustainability-focused initiative that engaged youth and had significant contributions which benefited the community.”

Non-profits can submit a YouTube video application before September 30. Then, it’s up to school students and the public to help decide the winner.

Between October 15 and November 15, classrooms can tell BC Hydro which video inspires them to take action. By doing so, the school is in the running to win $1,000.

At the same time, the public can vote online for its favourite organization each day.

“The Community Champions program is an excellent opportunity for non-profits to platform and highlight their initiatives, as well as the potential to win a $10,000 award to help their good work grow.

Videos selected as finalists will be seen province-wide by the public and classrooms,” said Masters. “The videos can serve to inspire public and youth around the non-profit’s

projects and serve as templates for others to engage their own communities and initiatives. Up to 15 finalists will be selected and of those, five Community Champion winners will win a $10,000 award to support their project. Three Community Champions will be selected by Public and Classroom voting and two will be awarded by a BC Hydro Judges’ panel.”

We are both registered professional biologists who have worked on Lake Koocanusa water quality and fish populations for government and in private consulting for a combined 60plus years.

This kokanee die-off was also reported by several media sources from Montana which, similar to the Townsman article, attributed the cause to a bloom of bluegreen algae. Blue-green algal blooms, more common in small lakes and ponds than large lakes, can release toxins that can kill fish and animals or humans drinking the water. Such algal blooms usually occur in warm summer months in temperate regions in response to high concentrations of nutrients, particularly phosphorus. In the early 1970’s, shortly after the construction of the Libby Dam on the Kootenai River in Montana, blue-green algal blooms did occur in Lake Koocanusa in response to large releases of phosphorus from Cominco’s fertilizer plant in Kimberley. These soon ceased to occur following the installation of pollution control measures by Cominco in 1975. Since 1987, phosphorus levels in Koocanusa have fallen to low levels and blue-green algal blooms have not occurred.

The speculation that a blue-green algal bloom was the cause of the juvenile kokanee die-off in late-August this year originated from fisheries biologists with the Mon-

tana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. We agree with their assumption that the die-off was related to prevailing weather conditions with little wind followed by a violent storm. Juvenile kokanee die-offs have been reported over the past four decades in Koocanusa, Moyie Lake, Kootenay Lake and several in Okanagan Lake. A more plausible explanation considers thermal stratification (upper, middle, and lower layers of the water column) of the reservoir during a long period of hot and dry weather in concert with strong wind activity immediately preceding the die-off; the upper strata are typically warm, the middle strata represent a zone of declining water temperature (also known as the thermocline) and the lower strata are typically cool. The surface waters can warm to temperatures beyond those optimum for kokanee survival and excessive wind at the reservoir surface can create an internal wave within the water column that is ultimately responsible for deepwater movements from bottom to surface due to wave oscillation. The internal wave is called a seiche (saysh). The oscillations can lead to vertical and horizontal transport of water and profoundly alter the distribution of organisms found within lake or reservoir strata.

The reason for kokanee susceptibility to internal seiches is directly linked to their daily behaviour; under daylight conditions, kokanee move to lower strata to minimize their risk of predation. The specific strata occupied are typical of optimum rearing temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Celsius. Following wave oscillation, kokanee can be immediately shifted to surface waters that may support water temperatures between 18 to 20 degrees Celsius due to surface heating. Evidence for this sudden shift from lower strata to surface is provided by over-inflated swim bladders in fish; the shift occurs rapidly and exceeds the ability of the fish to compensate for changes in pressure between bottom and surface. The over-inflated swim bladder prevents the fish from returning to more suitable depths and the instantaneous temperature differential places the fish in physiological/thermal stress; under prolonged stress, death is inevitable.

As a final note, phosphorus concentrations in Lake Koocanusa are far too low to produce a blue-green algal bloom and the article is further in error in reporting that kokanee feed on this algae. Microscopic algae dwelling in the water columns of lakes (and the ocean) are called phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are consumed by small, just visible crustacea called zooplankton and these form the bulk of the kokanee diet. Kokanee die-offs like the recent one in Koocanusa appear to be natural phenomena, best explained by prolonged climatic conditions, local storm events and water column oscillations.

WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE

Betker returns to WHL after Oilers camp Cranbrook-born defenceman gets a taste of life in professional hockey during an NHL training camp in Edmonton

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Ben Betker will have to get used to two new coaches.

The Cranbrook-born defenceman was recently reassigned after attending a prospects camp with the Edmonton Oilers. He returns back to his home WHL club, the Everett Silvertips, where he will be a key part of the team this year while patrolling the blue line.

The Oilers and the ‘Tips feature new bench bosses, with Dallas Eakins in Edmonton and Kevin Constantine in Everett, and Betker is eager to make his mark on both.

After Betker was selected in the sixth round of the NHL Draft in June, he attended a rookie development camp a week afterwards, which was his first introduction to the NHL and life as a professional hockey player.

Betker suited up for two games in the Young Stars prospects tournament in Penticton a few

weeks ago, before headed back to Edmonton for training camp.

Betker said he felt comfortable at the tournament, considering it featured mostly prospects like himself struggling to make an impression.

“It was really interesting to compare myself to guys such as Justin Shultz or Taylor Hall and to learn from Dallas Eakins and Todd Nelson,” Betker said.

He added that the play was a little disjointed because players were only given a few days to learn and adapt to new systems. “…The play was fast, but quite scrambly at times, especially in the defensive zones. Guys were stronger, for sure, than say in a normal game in the Western League. Guys were stronger and faster and heavier shots, but the type of play wasn’t so systematic.”

Betker suited up for a game against the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks,

Local defenceman Ben Betker has returned to the Everett Silvertips after attending training camp with the Edmonton Oilers. along with a Monday night clash against the University of Alberta Golden Bears, back in Edmonton.

Betker was familiar with the Oilers hockey operations staff, having met GM Craig MacTav-

ish before, however, he hadn’t met Eakins until fitness testing.

“The only guy I hadn’t met was Dallas, and when we were doing the VO2 test, just before we left, he was actually behind me, I

had no idea,” said Betker.

“He was behind me, watching me on the bike and it was a good thing I tried to go as long as I could, but he said he saw quite a bit of fight in me, which is

good, because that sort of eases the pressure, when you have guys like him and MacTavish already sort of on your side, to a degree.”

Eakins has made it very clear that fitness will be a key priority with the team, punctuating his point by replacing doughnuts and pastries with fruits and veggies for the media at team press conferences.

“He’s very intense,” Betker said. “He demands that you’re in shape. He likes his fitness, and he likes his guys to be in shape.

That’s one of the things he was preaching, is that they will be the most in-shape team in the NHL. “The on-ice testing that we did was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

Betker had exit meetings with Rick Carriere, Edmonton’s head of player development, who gave him some stuff to work on for another year of development in the WHL. He wants to improve

his skating and footwork, his shot, and be a tough player to play against, but consistency is the most important thing.

“I think consistency is one of the biggest things they look for at the pros, especially in the NHL,” Betker said.

“That’s why guys like Joe Thorton and Ryan Smyth are so good, is because they’re consistently at their best every night.”

He was released back to Everett on Sunday, where he will work with a new, but familiar face in the coaching ranks, as head coach Kevin Constantine is back for his second tenure.

Constantine coached the ‘Tips for four years from 2003-2007, leading the team to the WHL finals in their first year as a league expansion team. He also has NHL experience coaching with the San Jose Sharks, Pittsburgh Penguins and New Jersey Devils.

Lulay the latest in a string of injuries for CFL QBs DAN R ALPH Canadian Press

It’s been a tough year for CFL starting quarterbacks.

Drew Tate (arm) of the Calgary Stampeders, Ricky Ray (shoulder) of the Grey Cup-champion Toronto Argonauts and Anthony Calvillo (concussion) of the Montreal Alouettes are all sidelined. And now, the B.C.

Lions will be without starter Travis Lulay for two games with a shoulder injury suffered while running for a TD in last weekend’s 36-14 home win over Montreal.

That means half of the league’s starters are down with injuries.

Lulay will be re-evaluated following B.C.’s game in Winnipeg on Sept. 27.

With Lulay unable to go, either sophomore backup Thomas DeMarco or veteran Buck Pierce, obtained recently from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, will start Sunday when the Lions visit the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

DeMarco came in against Montreal after Lulay was injured, completing 4-of-6 passes for 47 yards and his

first CFL touchdown pass, a 14-yard TD strike to Marco Iannuzzi.

The CFL’s top running back is also hurting.

Saskatchewan’s Kory Sheets won’t play against B.C. due to a sprained knee.

He was injured in last weekend’s 31-29 home loss to Toronto.

Sheets has a league-best

1,222 rushing yards and is 843 shy of Hall of Famer Mike Pringle’s single-season mark of 2,065. If Sheets misses just the one game, he’ll have to average 141 yards over Saskatchewan’s remaining six contests to eclipse Pringle’s record.

Riders’ head coach Corey Chamblin couldn’t say Tuesday how long Sheets will be

out. He added that the fivefoot-11, 208-pound running back will be day to day following the B.C. game.

Sheets seemed like a lock to break Pringle’s record when he opened the ‘13 campaign with six straight 100-yard games. He amassed 845 total yards over that span, an average of 141 per contest.

Thomas works out with Panthers Betker back with Silvertips Tim Reynolds Associated Press

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. - Tim Thomas took a few hunting trips during his sabbatical from hockey, including one journey to Florida where he ended up snagging an alligator.

He’s back in Florida, and gators aren’t exactly on his mind this time.

Declaring himself “reborn” after more than a year off, Thomas was back on NHL ice Tuesday, working out with the Florida Panthers for the first time since agreeing to a tryout deal with the club.

The goaltender with two Vezina Trophies and a

Stanley Cup on his resume will accompany the Panthers starting Wednesday for their three-game, four-day road trip to Dallas, San Antonio and Tampa, Fla. “After 14 years of pro hockey, I got tired and I needed a break,” Thomas said. “Now I’m energized and I’m looking forward to it.”

Thomas came to Florida to compete for a starting job and will only need to beat Jacob Markstrom to win that role. Markstrom has been the Panthers’ goalie of the future for some time and arrived in this camp expecting to final-

ly be the No. 1 guy - especially with veteran Scott Clemmensen recovering from knee surgery that may keep him off the ice until next month.

Markstrom didn’t seem bothered in any way by Thomas’ arrival.

“It’s the best league in the world,” Markstrom said. “It’s not supposed to be easy. It’s going to be a fun experience and I’m really excited.”

For his part, Thomas said he is willing to help Markstrom however he can.

“I never competed against the other goalie on my team,” Thomas

said. “That’s the way that people want to frame it, that it’s a competition between goalies, but that’s not the way I look at it. I’m competing against myself.

And if I play the best that I can, I’m going to get the results that I want and I’m going to get the playing time that I want.”

Thomas agreed to the deal on Monday and all indications are that the tryout is a mere precursor to an actual contract for the 39-year-old goalie who was outstanding with the Boston Bruins for parts of eight seasons, posting a 2.45 goals-against average in 362 starts.

Premium tickets for Super Bowl double to $2,600 Melissa Murphy Associated Press

NEW YORK - Super Bowl fans can prepare to pay double for the best seats.

The NFL expects the most expensive tickets for its championship game will be about $2,600 each for 9,000 premium seats for the Feb. 2 game at MetLife Stadi-

um in East Rutherford, N.J. That’s more than twice the $1,250 cost for similar tickets at last season’s Super Bowl in New Orleans.

“We are looking to close the gap between the face value of the ticket and its true value as reflected on the secondary market,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy

said Tuesday. “The uniqueness of the Super Bowl in the New York/ New Jersey is also driving unprecedented demand and buzz.”

The next tier of seats is expected to go for $1,500 compared to $950 in New Orleans. About 40 per cent of general admission seats will be under $1,000, McCarthy said.

Blue Jays slugger Encarnacion to undergo wrist surgery

after pro camp with Oilers Continued from page 8

While Betker was experiencing life in the pros, the Silvertips went on a tear in the preseason, going undefeated in seven games.

“I think with the guys going 7-0, I’m just worried about getting back into the lineup and earning my spot back,” Betker laughed.

“They’re 7-0 , the last thing I want to do is go in there and disrupt things, but I’m just really excited to start playing games again.”

With Constantine at the helm, Betker is confident the Silvertips can return to their previous glory, which included three U.S. Division titles and an appearance in the league champion-

ship under his first tenure.

“He’s just as intense, if not more, than Dallas,” Betker said. “He demands hard work and he’s a very demanding coach. It’ll be very good for our team, because we are still young, we have a lot of first-year returning guys, but we picked up a few more rookies this year and a few 16-year-old defencemen, but he’ll be really good for our squad, knowing what it

TORONTO - Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Edwin Encarnacion is scheduled to undergo wrist surgery this week and will miss the final two weeks of the regular season.

The all-star slugger will have cartilage damage repaired in his left wrist.

“They said it’s a simple procedure to clean it out,” manager John Gibbons said before Tuesday’s home game against the New York Yankees.

“He’s been dealing with it all year and just got to the point where his bat launch (letting go of the bat on his swing) became too frequent. You could tell he was battling it.”

Gibbons said that left-handed reliever Brett Cecil would also go on the disabled list with a sore elbow. Cecil will have an MRI exam this week.

Encarnacion finishes the season with 36 homers, 104 runs batted in, a .272 batting average and an on-base percentage of .370.

takes to win.”

The Silvertips will come up to Cranbrook this year, and Betker will get to play in front of a hometown crowd on Tuesday, Nov. 19, at Western Financial Place.

“It’s marked on my calendar. I’m looking forward to that day,” he said. “I’m excited to play back in that rink. It’s been a while.”

NOTES: Betker attended Oilers camp with Silvertips teammates Reid Petryk and Jujhar Khaira. He also played with former Ice captain Joey Leach at the Young Stars tournament, as Leach signed a one-year contract with Edmonton’s AHL affiliate, the Oklahoma City Barons, in the off-season.

Friday, October 18 3pm - 8pm

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your hard work and effort will pay off far more than you might’ve thought possible. You could find an instrumental partner to be overserious. Do not take this person’s attitude personally. Opportunities surround your home and your personal life. Tonight: Not to be found!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Everything from your gait to the way you carry yourself exudes resilience and confidence.

A partner could be jealous, and he or she might be very cold toward you as a result. Don’t let this behavior get to you. Make your presence known. Tonight: Rearrange your plans, if need be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have a strong sense of what needs to be done, and it is unlikely that you will settle for anything less than what you want.

Money might flow out of your account as quickly as it goes in.

Take a break in the afternoon in order to pace yourself. Tonight: A must appearance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are in the position to make one of your long-desired dreams a reality, yet there might be some fear around realizing this wish. You could trip yourself up unless you are willing to root out the issue. Revamp plans with a key associate or loved one. Tonight: Buy tickets to a concert.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have pushed so hard lately that your energy seems to be waning, even though your enthusiasm remains high. If you would take just an hour for relaxing, and then delegate what you can to others, you will feel revitalized. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s request.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You tend to let others take the lead. Some people might not realize that you make a conscious choice to defer to them; otherwise, they could be taken aback.

A meeting that transforms into a friendly get-together will be the highlight of your day. Tonight: Say “yes.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Emphasis is on routine and dai-

For Better or Worse

ly matters. You might want to make a situation more exciting.

You are likely to tease someone whom you’ve put on a pedestal.

Fortunately, all parties involved have a sense of humor. Tonight: Put your feet up and watch a favorite TV show.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to express concern about someone’s interpretation of a situation. Perhaps you feel as though this person is way off. Realize that it could be just your wild imagination.

Make a point to indulge a loved one. Tonight: Adapt to a friend’s request.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) If you can play it low-key, you’ll feel better by the end of the day.

A partner could come through for you in a major way. You might not believe everything you hear. Do your own research, and as a result, you will feel more confident in making decisions. Tonight: At home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Emphasize your priorities. You know what will happen if you are able to get your way. Un-

fortunately, you might not have that opportunity, as a partner will be so charming that people naturally will gravitate toward his or her way of thinking instead. Tonight: Go with the flow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might notice that you have a need to catch up with others financially. The good news is that this attitude is temporary.

Your values could be considerably different from those around you. Try not to point out the differences, but do respect them.

Tonight: Indulge a little.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are in your element. You would have to work very hard in order to displease someone in your life. You naturally say and do the right thing. You might not even be aware of the number of admirers you seem to have. Tonight: Be yourself, and let the good times roll.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My son recently married a young woman from an affluent family.

When he was first engaged, we began to see less of him. We invited him and his fiancee to dinners, vacations, etc., but were usually turned down. They do, however, spend a great deal of time with her family, so we have just backed off.

My husband and I contributed almost half of the money for the wedding. We offered to help with whatever we could, but were told that our help was not needed. Her family did all of the planning. She and her mother conjured up lies to throw us off from planning our guest list, what we should wear to the wedding, etc.

We hosted a beautiful rehearsal dinner, with no “thank you” or even a smile from the bride. On the day of the wedding, our daughter-in-law was embarrassingly rude to my husband and me. It wasn’t until the next day, when she refused to attend a family function before going on their honeymoon, that I found out she was angry with me because of what I wore. Annie, I wore the dress my son told me to wear, but he will not admit that to his wife.

We have not heard from either of them since that day. I am so incredibly hurt. I treated this girl like part of the family. I can’t believe she would ruin a relationship over something so trivial. Any advice? -- Mom from Montana Dear Mom: The dress is just an excuse to limit contact. It sounds as if your new daughter-in-law doesn’t want a relationship with her husband’s family, and he permits it -- either because he agrees or, more likely, because he doesn’t want to upset the applecart.

You need to “make nice,” even though it will be difficult. Call or email your son and his wife, apologize for unintentionally selecting the wrong dress, mention something nice about the wedding and about the bride, and sign off by saying you hope to see them soon. We hope your son values his family enough to put his spine back into place.

Dear Annie: I have, for quite some time now, been concerned about a possible water shortage in the U.S. and around the world.

I recently stayed with a friend and was amazed at how much water she wasted. She would keep the kitchen faucet turned on full blast for several minutes while working in another area. I didn’t say anything, as it was her home, but it sure hit me that we waste this precious resource.

I am not perfect with my water usage, but I hardly would have let my water run when I didn’t need it. Specialists on water shortage have written articles on how soon our water supply could run out. Also, why don’t all sinks have an “instant hot” so we don’t have to run the faucet until the water warms up?

I am hoping you will print this and it will save water in some households. -- Concerned Water Conservator Dear Concerned: We don’t always appreciate that we have finite resources on this planet, including water. Please, folks, don’t run the faucet if you don’t need the water.

Use cold when you can. Set a timer for your showers. Let’s not take our blessings for granted.

Dear Annie: This is for “Retired Architect in Dayton, Ohio,” who asked why we build houses that can burn down: I suppose if we mountain dwellers were able to build our ideal homes, we would make certain they were as fireproof as possible. However, there is no such thing as a fireproof construction. We are survivors of the Silver Fire. Many of our neighbors and friends lost their homes. We saw quite a bit of melted steel. Even concrete burns. The most important thing that every mountain dweller can do is keep a defensible space. -Banning, Calif.

Nearly 300 people from communities throughout the Basin attended the 2010 Columbia Basin Symposium. The 2013 Symposium will be held in Creston this October.

Free event aims to encourage community collaboration Submit ted

Register now to connect with fellow Basin residents at the 2013 Columbia Basin Symposium, to be held October 18 to 20 in Creston.

This free event will focus on “Community Change Through Collaborative Action” and is hosted by Columbia Basin Trust (CBT).

The event, which occurs once every three years, promises a great lineup of sessions and other activities, and features keynote speaker Paul Born, president and co-founder of Tamarack: An Institute for Community Engagement. Session topics include those focused on broadband, the Columbia River Treaty and building effective collaboration. During sessions at the Symposium participants will also have the opportunity to provide CBT with input both to its sector strategic planning sessions as well as to longer-term issues and opportunities for the organization.

“CBT is committed to bringing Basin residents together, whether locally in small-group meetings, or regionally at large events like the Symposium,” said Greg Deck, board chair. “We encourage people to take advantage of this event to see things from a perspective they may not normally get to see and to create connections with people they may not usually interact with.”

Symposium participants and the general public alike are also welcome to attend an evening of Basin culture and entertainment at Wynndel Hall in Cres-

ton, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, October 19.

Anyone not able to attend in person can register to attend virtually. Virtual attendees can use live stream

technology that will allow them to see PowerPoint presentations while listening to audio in real time from their personal computer. Live stream participants can

also ask questions and chat through their personal computers via an online facilitator.
