ZONING

Council hears from residents Proposed car wash draws crowd to zoning hearing C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

The look on Cranbrook’s Danielle Cardozo’s face says it all as she presents her baked Alaska to judge Michael Bonacini. Cardozo was eliminated from MasterChef Canada on Monday night’s episode. See story, page 4.

Kimberley City Council met for their regular meeting with a full house of spectators in attendance on Monday evening, as the meeting began with a public hearing on a proposed zoning change.

The zoning change in question is for 347 Marsden where a proponent wishes to build a car wash. Council had received seven pieces of correspondence in relation to the zoning change prior to the hearing, five against and two for.

Council would not make a decision post-hearing, Mayor Ron McRae told the crowd, but would wait for a staff report on all the input.

DECISION MADE

Walking bridges for Marysville and Mackenzie Council votes to go ahead with installation of bridges intended for flume C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Kimberley City Council has made the decision to place the two walking bridges contracted from Tyee Log Homes to Mackenzie Street and Marysville Falls to replace two older

bridges.

The decision was not arrived at without a debate and the vote was not unanimous.

Council has been wrestling with what to do with the bridges, originally planned for the Mark Creek flume project. Funding for the bridges was covered by an Accessibility grant. The problem is that if the bridges are not installed in 2014, the grant obligations are not met and the money

would be lost. The total cost for all three bridges is $134,475.22 plus applicable taxes. The federal accessibility grant for $50,000 will be put towards this project, reducing the overall cost to $84,475.22 for all three bridges.

One bridge has already been installed as part of the flume project, at St. Mary’s Avenue, which replaced a vehicle bridge.

Council has decided to place the two bridges similar to the

Crisis lines answer the call Submit ted

What if you could change a life, or even save one, just by answering the phone?

Would you?

Your Interior Crisis Line Network (ICLN) is hoping you’ll say “yes.”

Every 20 minutes someone calls the ICLN and is supported by a trained staff and volunteers and the number of calls are steadily increasing.

The Interior Crisis Line Network is made up of five local crisis lines and was developed through the support of the Interior Health Authority and the First Nations Health Authority.

It’s the first network of

426-2933 Taco Time Centre

its kind in North America to support all types of calls, and people across the Interior can reach out to the ICLN for a variety of reasons and needs. Calls range from requests for resources to short-term emotional support to suicide prevention and intervention.

Regardless of the issue, by the end of the call the person receives support that truly makes a difference in their lives. In fact, the ICLN has been so responsive that calls have increased almost 20 per cent since last year.

“Meeting the needs of more callers is great,” said Nancy Reid, Local Crisis Line Administrator, “because it means that callers know they can call one number and receive support.

“But it also means that we are in need of volunteers now more than ever to ensure we have enough trained crisis line workers on the line to answer this increased need.”

The ICLN is not just making a difference for

those who call in, but also for the staff and volunteers who answer the calls.

“The training not only prepared me to support people on the lines, but it’s made a big difference in my own life too. I’m better at handling my own stress, it has helped in my job search and in supporting my friends and family,” shares one volunteer.

March 17, 2014 was the beginning of Crisis Line Awareness Week and you are welcome to reach out to your local crisis line office to find out more about how you can make a difference as a volunteer or call the Interior Crisis Line Network if you are in need of support.

The Interior Crisis Line Network is available 24/7/365 by calling 1-888-353-CARE (2273) from anywhere in the Interior Region.

To find out more about volunteering, contact Volunteer Kootenays, 250-426-8019, Lori Stolson; or nreid@ cmhakootenays.org.

Three students of Liela Cooper were in Kamloops last weekend as competitors in the Western Canadian Open Championships. It was a two-day competition with a Highland Championship on the first day and a Premiership Championship (National Dances) on day two. Dancers from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Washington took part in this huge event. Our local dancers did incredibly well. On the first day with the Highland Championships, Kasey and Erin Hawkins both won medals in their respective age classes and little sister Victoria was first runner-up in her class of 9 years and under. Day two brought more excitement when Victoria won the Premiership Championship and her sisters both were third runners-up in their classes: Erin 14 years to under 16; and Kasey 16 years to under 18. Pictured, left to right: Liela Cooper, Erin, Victoria, and Kasey Hawkins.

Thirty-two projects that support social well-being have been approved to receive nearly $1 million in funding from Columbia Basin Trust’s Social Grants Program.

“Our selection committee approved a diverse range of projects from a strong showing of applications during our annual intake,” said Sabrina Curtis, director of Sector Initiatives. “These projects will continue to build and strengthen the social sector in our region.”

One of the successful recipients is the Golden Food Bank Society. Its project involves a food recovery program for the Golden area.

“In this initial stage, we hope to help minimize waste while increasing our supply of food for hampers,” said Melanie Myers, executive director. “We also hope to create a more sustainable food bank model that other groups can use in the future.”

The Elkford Women’s Task Force Society will offer a program for Elk Valley children aged

three to five years, which will use play and parent participation to promote positive self-image, physical activity and healthy eating.

“The Healthy Start program will present physical-based education in a fun and exciting way,” said Jennifer Cherney, Elkford Early Childhood Development coordinator. “It will give families ideas of how to make physical activity fun at home, while encouraging children to have positive self-esteem and make healthy eating choices, in hopes of helping reduce childhood obesity. It will also prepare children for kindergarten.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cranbrook will pilot the expansion of its program into Nelson and Castlegar.

“After a year of development work we are thrilled to be able to offer our In School Mentoring programs in Castlegar and Nelson in 2014,” said Dana Osiowy, executive director. “We know about the long-term benefits to our children when they have a mentor and having a profession-

ally trained and supported mentoring team in the West Kootenay will mean those benefits will be felt throughout the communities.”

The St. Mary’s Indian Band project aims to support Band Elders to connect with their community.

“Our Sharing Wisdom project focuses on the socialization and well-being for our community.

This grant will help to bring elders together within the nation and mentor cultural and traditional teachings,” said Cindy Wales, RN Community Health representative. “By sharing their wisdom, elders will feel valued and become more active within the community.”

The Social Grants Program Selection Committee makes the granting decisions. This volunteer group of Basin residents includes individuals who have experience and expertise in the social sector, and individuals who have broader community development experience.

With an abundance of snow in and around Kimberley, who could possibly be thinking about planting? The children of KIS are! For the past six years the students have been involved in an invasive weed pull in the community along Rails to Trails. A year and a half ago, KIS officially adopted a half km stretch of Rails to Trails. This year along with the City of Kimberley and planning officer, Kris Belanger, the students in grades 2-9 have been heavily involved with re furbishing their section of the path. The grade 2 and 3 classes learned what is involved when designing landscape plans and how to incorporate different native plant species. The grade fours and fives will be instrumental in the coordinating the planting of native plants in the spring, while the senior class have learned all about the ecosystems of the area, and will which plants will thrive on the shoulders of the trail. Grades K-9 will all headed out to TiPi Mountain Nurseries in Cranbrook to learn all about seed harvesting and green house growing. Spring has sprung for KIS students!

Two walking bridges going to Mackenzie St. and Marysville Falls From Page 1 The question Council deferred from a previous meeting was — with the decision about whether to proceed with Mark Creek flume rehab still not made, pending grant applications, should Council return the grant money and re-apply for it when the project goes ahead, or use the bridges elsewhere?

It was the recommendation from the Operations Committee, said Coun. Albert Hoglund, that if the decision is made to not proceed with the flume this year, that the bridges go to Mackenzie St. and the Marysville Falls locations. Hoglund said that part of Council’s concern was where the money to install the bridges would come from, but that the Chief Financial Officer had found other funds in the budget so the money wouldn’t come out of the capital budget.

CAO Scott Sommerville reported that he had contacted the federal government about deferring the grant, but said considering that the city had already been granted one extension, he was unsure whether a second would be received kindly.

Coun. Kent Goodwin said that with that still up in the air, he was inclined to defer again.

Mayor Ron McRae said that

the city had made a commitment to a contractor and needed to be mindful of that.

“We should fulfill our commitment no matter where the bridges go.”

Coun. Don McCormick said he would vote against relocating the bridges.

“The St Mary’s bridge was never identified as a required project for this year,” he said.

“It’s been there a very long time and I can’t believe that this is the first time anyone noticed it is installed below the flood plain. The accessibility grants won’t go away, we can re-apply.”

McCormick said that even if money was found from proceeds of land sales rather than the capital budget, there were plenty of other projects which could use that money, nor had a final decision been made on going ahead with the flume project.

“At the end of the day, choosing to go ahead with Plan B when Plan A is not finalized is the wrong message to send to taxpayers.”

“I’m excited about these bridges and I think one at Marysville Falls would be stunning,” said Coun. Darryl Oakley. “But I have concerns about spending this money. If there are more line items where extra money can be found,

there’s been no discussion about priorities for that money.

I can’t support this.”

Coun. Jack Ratcliffe said that he would like to defer until final word was heard on flume grant applications, and made a motion to do so, which Council quickly voted down. He then said he’d support putting the bridges in different locations.

Hoglund said he thought the bridges were a superb fit for the two proposed locations.

“The chances of getting another accessibility grant for bridges for the flume are pretty good,” he said. “If we return the money we may not get another chance. We could end up with only one bridge instead of five.”

Coun. Bev Middlebrook said she would support the motion, and believed getting other grants was possible. “I can’t believe no one has said we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” she added.

“It’s an opportunity for additional enhancement in the community,” McRae said. “I feel obligated to satisfy our commitment to a local business with a long history of supporting Kimberley.”

The motion passed with Oakley, McCormick and Goodwin voting against.

ROTARY NEWS

March – Literacy Month

Literacy a priority for Rotary For the Bulle tin

Education and literacy is a priority of Rotary International. The Kimberley Rotary Club marks Literacy Month by sharing Rotary International President Ron B. Burton’s message to members, in the March issue of the Rotarian Magazine. Many of Kimberley Rotary current members spent time with Ron and his wife at our 5080 District Conference last June in Colville, Washington, where we had the opportunity of sharing Rotary experiences. Ron Burton is former President of the University of Oklahoma Foundation.

“Growing up in Duncan, Okla., USA, I took it for granted that everyone could read. In my own elementary school, not only were we expected to be reading by the age of seven or eight, we were expected to read upside down. We each took turns reading books to the entire class and, of course, if you wanted to read out loud to a group while you show the pictures, you can’t do it the right way up. All the way through elementary school, we did that every week, until it didn’t matter to us which way we were holding the book.

I never thought too much about that

skill at the time. But a few months ago, on a visit to a Rotary project in Decatur, Ala., I walked into a first-grade classroom and was asked if I would read a book to a class of six-year olds. Naturally. I was happy to oblige. I sat down. opened the book they had chosen, and started reading to about 30 little kids- upside down, just the way I did it back in second grade.

In a sense, I was doing exactly what I’d learned to do more than a half century earlier.

But as an adult, especially as a Rotarian, I saw that experience in a different way. I was reading to a group of children who were well on their way to literacy themselves.

We were sitting in their classroom, in a school where Rotarians came every week to read one-onone with children who needed a little extra help.

There wasn’t any question that every child in the room would grow up to be a literate adult. And all of them took that for granted – as they took it for granted that adults would care enough to read to them a book while showing them the pictures, even if it meant reading upside down.

We all know that millions of children all over the world aren’t that lucky. That’s why we make basic education and literacy a priority in our Rotary service. As we mark Literacy Month in Rotary we remind ourselves what a gift we are giving when we help a child to read - whether it’s a child on the other side of the world or right in our own home town.”

Danielle hangs up the MasterChef apron Cranbrook’s MasterChef contestant has been eliminated, but her culinary career is just beginning Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

After an amazing run, clocking up win after win, all while maintaining her composure, Cranbrook’s MasterChef Canada contestant Danielle Cardozo has been eliminated from the CTV reality series.

In the cook-off television show’s 10th episode, Danielle’s undoing was one of the toughest desserts ever: a Baked Alaska. With two other contestants also failing their attempts, Danielle’s was the dish the judges chose to send her home.

“That was seriously tough to watch,” she told the Townsman after the episode.

The Monday, March 24 episode opens with the eight remaining contestants participating in a Team Challenge that requires two teams of four to man food trucks and serve the hungry hordes in Toronto.

Danielle is on a team led by Eric Chong, alongside Kaila Klassen and Julie Miguel. They decide to serve a meatball sub from their Italian food truck, against the blue team’s steak tacos from a Mexican food truck.

Eric is in such a fren-

An emotional Danielle accepts the news of her elimination.

zy trying to run the operation that eventually Danielle just steps in to take control, worried that the lack of organization will be their undoing. Eric admits that Danielle is making crucial decisions and helping everyone stay calm – a role he should have been playing.

In fact, the red team is so efficient that their line wears down while customers at the Mexican truck are waiting 25 minutes to be served. So Kaila goes out to poach customers from the line.

Soon Pino Di Cerbo on the blue team returns the favour, stopping by tables where customers are eating Italian and

convincing them to buy a taco, too.

It’s an effective move; in one of the closest team challenges yet, the blue team wins by only three dishes. The red team is sent into another elimination challenge; Danielle’s third.

The judges tell Eric, Kaila, Julie and Danielle that no one will be saved from this challenge, which they admit is the toughest yet. They drop the hint that they will be making a dessert named after the coldest American state. Danielle’s face says it all: it’s Baked Alaska–a sponge cake, topped with ice cream, the whole thing wrapped in meringue

and somehow baked without the ice cream melting.

Danielle ran Crumbs Cakery in Cranbrook and the Elk Valley with her sister, who has since taken over the business.

She was horrified that a cake led to her demise.

“The first person I called when I got my cell phone back from MasterChef Canada was my sister, who I started Crumbs Cakery with almost three years ago. I confided in her how I went home. She of course laughed and joked, “Of course you did! How did that happen?!” When I explained that it was a Baked Alaska, she granted me sisterly amnesty.”

While at first it seems Danielle will sail through this challenge as she has in the past– she’s the only cook who even knows what a Baked Alaska is–her sponge cake inexplicably fails.

The first cake to come out of the oven is too moist, so Danielle ditches it and somehow finds the time to make and bake another. Unbelievably, it’s just as bad. She tells the camera that she’s definitely worried.

But she nails the ice cream and the meringue and gets the dish into the oven with time to spare. It gives her a little bit of hope.

Meanwhile, Julie Miguel failed to listen to judge Michael Bonacini’s advice and has cooked a sponge with clumps of uncooked flour in it. Kaila’s sponge is more fudge than cake, and she resorts to blow-torching the me-

ringue when she runs out of time to bake it.

But when the judges cut into Danielle’s Baked Alaska, the gooey cake has failed to insulate the ice cream in the oven, and it melts.

Somehow, Julie and Kaila are saved, and it’s Danielle who is shown the door.

“Your three kids back in Cranbrook must be very proud of you because their mother is a force to be reckoned with,” Bonacini tells Danielle. Oh gee, where are the tissues?

Danielle gives parting words of advice to the camera: “If you want something, work for it.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something.”

Danielle spent Tuesday in Toronto making the rounds of national TV and radio talk shows.

But she did have time to share this message with Cranbrook.

“My journey ends at Top 8. I want to thank everyone for their support. The journey has been amazing,” she told the Townsman.

“It’s been so incredibly exciting to have the community behind me.

I’ve loved the gatherings at the Heid Out! I wish I could have been there tonight.

“I mean it when I say the end of the show was just the beginning of my opportunity. This is not the last Cranbrook will be hearing of me in the culinary industry.”

Stay tuned to the Townsman/Bulletin in coming days as we feature everything Danielle has been up to since filming MasterChef Canada.

Zoning hearing draws crowd From Page 1 The plans for the proposed car wash are that vehicles would enter from the back alley and exit onto Marsden Street.

First to speak against the zoning was Jeff Radersma, who lives at 350 Banks Street, directly across the alley from the proposed car wash.

He told Council that he had no problem with a building on the empty lot, but didn’t feel a car wash was the right fit with the primarily residential neighbourhood.

“There are 11 houses on the

block,” he said. “Seven with young families. The skate park is right across the road. There’s a trail along the river that is busy. Everything is residential.

There are no commercial buildings nearby.”

Radmersma said that he was concerned that increased traffic would be a danger to kids going to the skate park every day, with a narrow bridge compounding the problem.

In addition, the lot is the location of the bus stop for Marysville and Lindsay Park Schools, he said.

He also said that his wife operated a licensed day care in their home and they were concerned that increased traffic in the back alley would cause problems with parents dropping off their children.

“My wife leaves every day with seven children and heads out the back alley and down the trail,” he said.

Other concerns included whether the sewer water infrastructure could handle the additional demand, noise and the possibility of contaminants getting into Mark Creek.

Speaking for the proponent was Christy Rossi who said she lives in the neighbourhood as well. She said that the doors to the car wash would be closed, reducing noise; that there would be specific hours of operation; that runoff goes into the sewer system, not the creek and that the day care clients should be able to pick up and drop off at the front door.

She also said that she would talk to the school board about a possible relocation of the bus stop.

”Always go to the bathroom when you have the chance.” —King George V. “All this progress is marvellous … now if only it would stop!”—Mayor Allen Lamport.

I

n another fruitless attempt to be a good citizen and not waste precious water, I purchased yet another lowflow toilet and I am already ruing the day. The one I—with the help of my lusty son—installed last year is a magnificent edifice in itself yet, to my dismay, it doesn’t actually work the way it is supposed to. In order to completely clear the commode of even a minimal amount of detritus, one is forced to flush several times.

Naturally, I have had words with the store that sold me that masterpiece of engineering as well as with the manufacturer, to no avail. According to them, my plumbing might not be up to scratch. I took offence at those remarks because, although I might be old, decrepit even, my plumbing is in excellent shape, thank you.

The muscles on my arm and hands are in great shape too, due to the exercise I get from constant flushing.

More recently, I had cause—and misgivings—to install another low-flow latrine only to find out that my life is becoming

bogged down in fights with the flushers on that new bog. There are two of them on the top of the lavatory but, no matter which of them one elects to thrust downward, the result is less than satisfactory. Even a single sheet of T.P. remains like Columbus’ Santa Maria, after a storm, still floating serenely on the surface.

Over the past few weeks I have cordially invited several practical and intelligent men to have a quick peek at my johns and possibly point out what might be the cure to my privy dilemma but, in every case they have flushed, flushed again, liftPeter ed off the top and peered Warland inside but not offered one helpful suggestion. I, in my turn, have thrown buckets of water down the potties and demonstrated that my plumbing is in good order, but still there has been no brilliant idea come to life.

Let me see; I’ve made good use of a plunger, scratched the porcelain with a metal snake, floated C.L.R. throughout the (non) workings of the W.C., hauled in hundreds of metres of garden hose, hooked it up and fired litres of water through everything, all to no avail, no royal flush. In an idiotic moment of frustration, I even considered using the vacuum cleaner to unclog things but caution prevailed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Like any other true savant researcher I went to Google to seek the cure for my latrine problems and, after staring google-eyed at the screen for what seemed like hours, I spotted what appeared to be a remedy for my problems. I followed the instructions carefully; I poured about a litre of dish-washing soap into the bowl, added a kettle-full of hot water and then waited like an ancient, optimistic alchemist for a miraculous result.

An hour later, I ventured into the rest room with bated breath—because of the suspense only—I flushed and—abracadabra—it worked; it actually flushed properly, a perfect counter-clockwise swirl of water disappeared from view .

Unfortunately, a half hour later, when nature called, the crapper was back to its recalcitrant self. If I had been bigger, stronger and much, much younger, I would have hauled that misbegotten comfort station out of the house and tossed it willy-nilly into the street, head first.

Come to think of it, I think I need my own head looking at because, unlike the ill-fated Napoleon, I have met my Waterloo at the loo and I sometimes wonder if that giant virus that some idiot revived after digging it out of the Siberian permafrost might not be nesting snuggly in some sewer pipe that takes the waste from my porcelain thrones, just under my house.

Scott Eansor had a pair of goals in regulation for the Thunderbirds, who lead the first-round matchup 3-0, and Branden Troock added a single goal.

Patrick Bajkov scored twice for the Silvertips, Mirco Mueller had a goal and an assist and Manraj Hayer assisted on all three of his club’s goals.

Taran Kozun made 28 saves for Seattle while Everett’s Austin Lotz turned away 25-of-29 shots in a losing cause.

The Thunderbirds can clinch the series on Friday when the Silvertips host Game 4.

OIL KINGS RAIDERS

Kootenay Ice forward Luke Philp (right) is all smiles after scoring the opening goal in a 5-4 win over the Calgary Hitmen on Tuesday night at Western Financial Place.

Ice edge out 5-4 win to even series Jaedon Descheneau scores with 51 seconds left in the game to lift Kootenay over Calgary TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

In the end, the Kootenay Ice simply outscored the Calgary Hitmen.

Indeed, it took till the final minute for Ice sniper Jaedon Descheneau to pot the game winner to lift his team to a 5-4 final and even up the series at two games apiece.

An odd-man rush into the Calgary zone with teammate Zach Franko made it happen.

“I just looked up to see what options I had,” said Descheneau. “I saw Franks driving the net and we [had] talked about finding a lane to get pucks to the net and I moved to the middle and it created something for me and I put it on net and luckily it went in.”

WHL playoff action now shifts to Calgary for Game Five on Thursday.

It was similar to Monday’s game, as the goals piled up throughout the first two periods.

The two teams actually held each other off the scoreboard for most of the final frame, until Descheneau’s game win-

ner with less than 60 seconds left on the clock.

Kootenay had the edge after the first 20 minutes, but Calgary came back and took a brief lead before the Ice knotted it again after 40 minutes of play.

Skapski had another tough night and was pulled in the middle period after allowing his fourth goal in 18 shots.

Wyatt Hoflin played out the rest of the game and was unbeaten in 20 shots.

Hoflin also played for just under six minutes on Monday night in Game Three, replacing Skapski in the second frame to play out the remainder of the period.

“I got a taste of it yesterday—that probably helped,” said Hoflin.

“Made a big save yesterday, so my confidence was up.

“Today, I got in there and made a couple saves...In the third, I just wanted to be solid, just play shutdown hockey and that’s what I did.”

Descheneau praised the younger backup for his work in the crease.

“Last game he played

well too, before Skap came [back] in,” Descheneau said. “We got confidence in both our goalies. They’re tremendously talented goalies and whoever plays is going to play well for us.

“Hoff stepped in for us today and played well.”

“In the third, I just wanted to be solid, just play shutdown hockey and that’s what I did.”

Wyatt Hoflin Instead of trading goals, the Ice built up a lead this time, enough to hold a one-goal edge after 20 minutes.

Austin Vetterl got the first play started driving to the net on the backhand with Luke Phip picking up a loose puck and roofing it at 3:02.

Sam Reinhart doubled the lead three minutes later, somehow finding a hole through Hitmen goaltender Chris Driedger on a sharp-angle shot.

Jake Virtanen replied for Calgary just after the

halfway mark, beating Skapski from inside the face-off circle.

However, Kootenay restored the two-goal lead when Franko caught Driedger on his stomach and snapped a high shot home for Kootenay’s only powerplay goal.

The Hitmen responded two minutes later as Ben Thomas snuck in from the point and ripped a shot bar down to make it a onegoal game after 20 minutes.

In the second period, Greg Chase took advantage of a Kootenay turnover to even up the score. Calgary took their first lead three minutes later on a shorthanded goal from Pavel Padakin, which got Skapski pulled from the crease.

Kootenay knotted the game back up roughly a minute after Padakin’s goal, with Levi Cable crashing the net and shovelling an uncovered puck across the goal line with his body. Though the play went to review, it stood as a good goal.

The Ice had a glorious chance to pull

ahead in the third period with 1:43 of time with a two-man advantage, but the Hitmen were able to make the kill.

Hoflin also made some big stops, notably on a chance from Virtanen, who nearly stuffed in a wraparound.

The Kootenay goaltender also was able to shake off a big collision after a Calgary forward drove to the crease off a rush down the wing.

NOTES: Kootenay Ice defenceman Landon Cross left the game in the second period and didn’t return. Linden Penner, fresh off a twogame suspension for a cross-check to the face of Ice forward Zach McPhee, was given a two-minute boarding minor on the play. With his game winning goal and an assist, Descheneau is now leading the WHL playoff scoring race at 10 points, followed by Sam Reinhart in second place. Kootenay will host Game Six on Saturday night at Western Financial Place. Tickets are on sale this week, and the box office will open at 10 a.m. on game day.

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. - Riley Kieser broke a 3-3 deadlock at 17:28 of the third period as the Oil Kings edged Prince Albert to go up 3-0 in their first-round series.

Jayden Hart, Chance Braid and Leon Draisaitl supplied the scoring for the Raiders.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll feel optimistic about a situation, yet you might not be sure as to which direction you should head in. The unexpected tosses a new factor into the mix, which you’ll feel is a good thing.

Go with the flow and the moment. All’s well that ends well.

Tonight: Hang out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Tension builds as you set out to deal with many different options. Is it possible that you are receiving too much good news in your life? You could be overwhelmed by all the opportunities coming your way. Trust in your ability to make the right choice. Tonight: A late dinner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be overwhelmed by what is happening, yet you will remain positive. You will make the correct choice, and financial gain will be the incentive that guides you. An offer from a friend could throw off your plans. Tonight: Try something spontaneous.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have more to offer someone than you realize. The way this person approaches you at the present time might clue you in. Learning to establish suitable boundaries could be a very positive step. Tonight: Listen to what someone whispers in your ear.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Defer to others, as you likely won’t have much choice anyway. Someone might want to demonstrate his or her worth.

Do not interfere. Your ability to get past a problem will allow you to have more bounce in your step. Tonight: Allow more flex.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your ability to enjoy your work makes many other signs either jealous or worried about you.

In either case, use that ability to clear as much as you can off your plate. A meeting with a friend could push you to complete even more. Tonight: Consider taking Friday off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You know which path is the

Tundra

right one for you to follow, but perhaps you are feeling anxious about taking the first step. Be careful not to push someone too hard, as he or she might decide to say “enough” and head for the hills! Tonight: Add more fun to the moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your ability to visualize what you desire and to do what you feel is necessary will be clear.

It will take action to proceed in the right direction. Ask yourself whether there is any real obstacle here. Tonight: Home feels like your castle.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You see life with greater clarity and openness. How you handle a personal matter could change, as you seem to be establishing who you are on a new level.

Maintain a sense of humor when a partner teases you a bit about your new attitude.

Tonight: Visit and catch up on news.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be taken aback by an opportunity to see a loved one in a new light. This person

suddenly might be so cheerful that you won’t know which way to head. Try to catch some of his or her optimism if you can! Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You seem to be on cruise control no matter what you do.

Move important matters along quickly, as you don’t often have extra free time, like you do now.

Some of you just might decide to do your taxes! Tonight: Make sure that you choose an activity you enjoy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are a sign that experiences many intuitive hunches. Right now, you could be acting on an emotional level, especially around a child or new friend.

The odds are that you will land well. Agitate less, and act more often. Tonight: Tap into your creativity.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a young single mom. The father and I are not together.

I am lonely at times without a man in my life, but I don’t know how to approach men and have no idea how to bring up the fact that I have a son. I promised myself that I would not bring a guy into my son’s life until I’ve been seeing him for at least a year and the relationship is serious. In the meantime, I feel awkward about the situation and don’t know how to behave. Any suggestions? -- S. Dear S.: You are smart not to bring random men into your child’s life, but please don’t be in a hurry to get attached. It’s more important that you devote some time to yourself, figuring out what you need and want in life.

Let your friends and family members know you are interested in meeting people. Get involved in activities that will allow you to become friendly with others in pressure-free circumstances -- through work, church, community projects, volunteer work, choirs, theater groups, civic organizations, political groups, etc. Also, consider joining Parents Without Partners (parentswithoutpartners. org). Doing interesting things will make you more interesting to be around. Female friends can introduce you to their single male friends or relatives. And, as you get to know others, the fact that you have a child will come up naturally.

Dear Annie: I am frequently amazed by how many people fail to realize the unnecessary but real danger they put themselves in by not knowing a simple rule that I clearly remember learning in third grade: If you ride a bicycle on a road, stay on the right side to flow with traffic. If you are walking on a road, stay on the left side, facing traffic.

This week, I saw two women walking on the right side of a two-lane highway with their backs to speeding traffic. I pulled over and explained to them that they were one distracted driver away from a coroner. They never would have seen it coming. I once saw three women with baby carriages walking abreast the same way. If they are facing traffic, they can move over if a driver doesn’t seem to be giving them enough room. And they should get off the road anyway. Likewise, bicyclists coming directly at oncoming traffic leave a driver no opportunity to slow down until it is safe to go around.

If you print this, I believe a lot of people will recognize themselves and make this simple lifesaving adjustment. -- Concerned for the Clueless in N.Y. Dear N.Y.: Bicyclists must obey all traffic laws, which means they need to face the same direction as the traffic. Pedestrians should face the opposite way so they can see what’s coming toward them and get out of the way. Needless to say, no one should walk on a roadway unless absolutely necessary.

Let’s hope your simple reminder saves a life or two. Thank you.

Dear Annie: “Dry in California” wanted to know how to deal with party hosts who insist on pouring her a drink. I’d like to give a tip to those party hosts and suggest a practice that I always use for informal dinners, as well as bigger parties.

I offer guests “something to drink” and then suggest (in this order) juice, soda, tonic water, wine, beer and harder stuff. Some of our friends do not drink alcohol, and a few are recovering alcoholics. One of the juice drinkers always specifies that his drink be served in a lovely wine glass so no one will question why he’s “not drinking.”

Since these friends have continued visiting us for years and enjoying our parties, I assume this strategy works. -- Party Girl in Vermont Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
