Ktunaxa await legal advice after legal challenge to Jumbo Resort dismissed in Court C AROLYNR ANT

Some of the 470 students involved in the production of Parkland Middle School’s “Roar” lip dub are pictured in a screengrab.

Press play on Parkland SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

470 students, dozens of classrooms, and one shot – that was the mammoth task Parkland Middle School took on when they filmed a whole-school lip dub last month.

The resulting video to Katy Perry’s “Roar” shows almost the entire student body having a great time in their school. Between when it was posted to YouTube on Wednesday, April 2 and time of print, the fun and uplifting video had already been seen 1,200 times.

Staff at Parkland Middle School wanted

Students at the Cranbrook middle school came together to film a fun lip dub video that is gaining hundreds of hits on YouTube to celebrate Pink Shirt Day in a big way this year, and vice-principal Kaley Wasylowich came up with idea of a lip dub video.

“We wanted to do a little something to live anti-bullying day and represent the solidarity movement,” said principal Scott Holt.

“It’s a celebration of our own community.

The anti-bullying message is in the song, and we also wanted a group project that include all

470 students and our staff.”

Teachers Rick Bendkowski and Erica Cross spearheaded the project, coming up with the Katy Perry song because of its message of inner strength and its popularity with the teen student body.

Then they got to work coming up with a route through the school that would take in as many different facilities as possible.

“Erica and myself

and much more.

It was impossible to include everything the school has to offer, Bendkowski added, in the short time frame.

The end result shows about 60 per cent of the school, missing things like the gym and the band room.

“Once we had the route mapped out and a sense of how the song would play out, then we started to bring in key players – the major ‘actors’ in the lip sync itself to see how it would work in that zone,” said Bendkowski.

spent many hours after school for three or four weeks planning a route, then modifying the route and figuring out how we were going to make the song work,” said Bendkowski.

Students and teachers in each classroom or venue were given the chance to suggest how it would be showcased, and in the video you can see students hammering in the shops, working out in the gym, climbing the rock wall See PARKLAND , Page 3

The Ktunaxa Nation has lost its legal challenge to the Jumbo Glacier Resort in B.C.’s Supreme Court.

The First Nation took action after Glacier Resorts was given a green light from the Ministry of Forests and Lands in March 2012 for construction in Upper Jumbo Valley, 55 kilometres west of Invermere.

Arguing the proposed resort violated its charter rights to religious freedom, the Ktunaxa asked the court to rule the project would desecrate sacred land and practices.

Ktunaxa Leader Kathryn Teneese says the First Nation is “obviously disappointed” in the ruling and has not yet made a decision on how to proceed.

“We felt we invested a lot of time, energy and resources in trying to bring the best case forward,” she said Friday.

Teneese says that the Ktunaxa knew it would be difficult to have the court understand just exactly what was being brought forward.

“I think that the idea of the development interfering with our spiritual and religious beliefs has not been dealt with before. It is outside of the box.

The court is being asked to understand the connection of First Nations, all First Nations across Canada, to the land.

“Essentially, the court is saying we recognize the impact on your spiritual beliefs but don’t know how to deal with it.”

“If the Grizzly Bear Spirit leaves Qat’muk, the Ktunaxa say they will no longer be able to receive physical or spiritual assistance and guidance from that spirit,” the judge said in his 124-page ruling.

“Their rituals and songs about the Grizzly Bear Spirit will lose all meaning and efficacy.’’

The Kootenay Child Development Centre (KCDC) is thankful of the continued support from Whimsical Publishing and their coloring books, and the “Miss Emily” books are a great addition to the Centre.

Whimsical Publishing

would really like to continue supporting the KCDC in whatever small ways they can as they know and understand the value of the Centre. Whimsical Publishing is about children and so it’s in their hearts to support the fundraising efforts of non-profit organizations that are focused on the needs

of children.

Great things continue to happen at the KCDC — we recently welcomed a new pediatrician to the building. We are also working towards having the next phase of the building completed (the sidewalks and paving), and we will continue to fundraise to complete the

remainder of the project.

Our next fundraiser is the Tee Off For Kootenay Kids Golf Tournament taking place on Thursday, July 3, at St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino. For more information about the Kootenay Child Development Centre, please call 250-4262976 or 250-426-7707.

The hospice society is encouraging people to think about and share their wishes for medical crises when they may not be able to speak for themselves

Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

What health care do you want to receive at the end of your life or if you are gravely ill? What if you aren’t able to speak for yourself?

These are the important questions that the Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society is asking people to consider around Advanced Care Planning Day on April 16.

Studies have shown that less than 50 per cent of Canadians have discussed their wishes for their end of life care with their family or friends.

“Advanced Care Planning is clarifying our thoughts and values and writing down the kind of treatment we want when we are not able to speak for ourself,” said Don Davidson, president of the society.

The provincial government has launched a program called “My Voice” which helps people draft documents that outline the kind of treatment they do or do not want in the future.

“It’s designed so that you don’t have to be a lawyer to complete it,” said Davidson.

“It’s a fairly straight-

forward, step-by-step process the government has laid out.”

To explain that program and help people fill out forms on advanced care planning, the hospice society is holding a series of presentations this month and next.

There will be five sessions.

• Wednesday, April 16, 7 to 9 p.m., Cranbrook Public Health Unit • Thursday, April 24, 7 to 9 p.m., Kimberley campus of College of the Rockies • Thursday, May 1, 7 to 9 p.m., Jaffray Community Centre • Sunday, May 4, 7 to 9 p.m., Wasa Lake Community Centre • Wednesday, May 14, 7 to 9 p.m., Moyie Community Hall.

Davidson said that, although it’s not a fun topic, it’s an important one.

“People think this is kind of morbid. But our generation has always

wanted to have a say in what happens to us.

This is our last chance.

This is your way to make sure you can control what happens even if you can’t speak on your own behalf.”

The medical system is designed to take any and all measures to keep a person alive.

“That’s what happens if you don’t think about it beforehand and tell people. That’s what the system is designed to do,” said Davidson.

Advanced care planning gives people the chance to spell out their wishes in a medical crisis.

“It’s designed to encourage people to think about what they are prepared to live without if they accept heroic measures.”

It’s important to consider that without a plan, your family may be making decisions on your behalf without knowing your wishes.

“At some point in time, if you can’t speak,

health care workers will have to turn to your family to make these decisions,” said Davidson, mentioning surgery or being placed on a ventilator as possible decisions.

“It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see how that could cause problems for your family.”

The advanced care planning sessions are free, and refreshments will be served. There won’t be time to take each person who attends the sessions through the forms and documents individually; instead, the session will be more of an overview. However, the hospice society does have volunteers who will visit people and help them go through the process one-on-one.

Parkland student body roars Continued from page 1

Then the entire school body was brought in for a series of rehearsals on three separate days.

“Each time we did a new rehearsal on a different day, with 470 kids, we always had new faces taking over roles because somebody gets sick, somebody has an appointment. It was a constant battle to get everybody where we needed them to be at that time,” said Bendkowski.

But it was clear pretty quickly how much the students loved the idea, said Holt.

“It was pretty chaotic on

those days, but also the energy level was through the roof. It was a powerful feeling when it was going on, even in the practices.”

On the day of filming, Bendkowski — who teaches drama, multimedia and information technology — manned the camera and pressed record. The entire four-and-a-half-minute video had to be filmed in one take as hundreds of students stepped in front of and then away from the moving camera.

Unbelievably, it took only three takes to produce a pretty seamless video.

That was in part due to the student’s enthusiasm for the project, Holt said.

“What you don’t see in the lip dub, if you look at the end scene, they are all cheering in our foyer.

Rick would then say, we need to fix this, let’s do it again, and 470 teenagers would take off – they were all engaged. And that’s pretty impressive.

“A lot of kudos goes to Erica and Rick for the work they did,” Holt concluded.

You can view the video at http://youtu.be/jJvqK6jHKcA or by googling “Parkland Katy Perry lip dub”.

But Justice John Savage ruled the ministry did its duty to consider the First Nation and did not infringe on constitutional rights.

“The process of consultation and the accommodation offered in my opinion passes the reasonableness standard,’’ he said.

The provincial government’s approval also includes various conditions that fairly balance the group’s religious rights, he added.

money. We didn’t make the decision lightly. It was difficult given the challenges we face in our communities. It was a difficult decision but we felt it was important. It’s a very difficult place we find ourselves in. Any further action means more costs. We want to lay everything out and make a careful decision before the next step.”

With files from Canadian Press.

Teneese says the Ktunaxa will now wait for advise from their legal adviser on how to proceed.

“You can appeal,” she said.

“The next step is the BC Court of Appeal and then the Supreme Court of Canada.”

The Ktunaxa Nation has to bear all the costs of the law suit.

“When we made the decision we agreed it was important for us to go down this road,” Teneese said. “We knew it would cost

Joe Hewitt to plead mental disorder at mock trial Bar Association hosting “You Be The Jury” at Key City Theatre as part of Law Week, Thursday, April 10

Barry Coulter

On Thursday, April 10, Joe Hewitt, a woodcutter, will be on trial for attempted murder and various other misdeeds.

And members of the public have a chance to weigh in on the verdict.

As part of the celebration of Law Week, the Canadian Bar Association is hosting a “mock trial” — a free public awareness presentation of a criminal jury trial. Members of the audience have the opportunity to be jurors as local members of the justice system present the event at the Key City

Theatre.

Hewitt is charged with attempting to kill Cain I. Slupus (who happened to be in Grandma’s house, smoking some of her marijuana, cross-dressing in her nightgown) with a chainsaw. Hewitt going to run a ‘Not Criminally Responsible

by Reason of Mental Disorder’ defence, just for a twist.

Actors are volunteers from the court registry staff, a couple of real sheriffs, an RCMP officer, local Crown counsel and members of the defence and civil litigation

bar playing the part of the Judge, Court Clerk, prosecutor, young defence lawyer, witnesses Scarlett Crimsoncloak, Grandma’s granddaughter and ‘Wilbur Potbelly,’ the woodcutter’s mushroom picking friend who lives in a tent in the Community Forest.

A special addition this year are cell tours at the courthouse from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m before the show. In addition, the accused will be transported to “court” at Key City in shackles.

13 charges laid against Langley man accused of attempted murder, arson Monique Tamminga Langley Times

Thirteen criminal charges have now been sworn against a Langley man who is accused of trying to kill his estranged wife and her two children by setting fire to the Willoughby area home in which they were sleeping.

Andre Harvey Richard was arrested in Fernie, B.C. on Thursday and is to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Monday, April 7, to

face three counts of attempted murder, as well as charges of arson and break and enter.

In addition, he faces four counts of assault with a weapon — involving two victims, each allegedly assaulted with two different weapons, and two counts each of assault causing bodily harm and breach of recognizance.

“This was a tragic event which, thankfully, now has a successful conclusion, said Lang-

ley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke.

“I would like to express my thanks for the role played by the media, the general public and in particular the individual who brought Richard to police attention.”

At 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, more than 24 hours after Richard’s estranged wife, her daughter and son escaped from their burning home on Wakefield Drive, RCMP received a

call of an erratic, and possibly impaired, driver near Fernie, 30 minutes from the Alberta border.

The witness followed the suspect until the vehicle — a grey Saturn SUV — came to a stop.

The driver exited the vehicle and ran into bushes at the side of the road, said police.

A crisis negotiator was called to the scene and local police arrived.

After some time, Richard, 44, was taken into custody without further incident.

The manhunt had begun early Wednesday morning, after it was determined that Richard wasn’t in the charred remains of the house.

The Langley man is accused of going to his wife’s home around 1 a.m. on Wednesday and setting fire to it, before entering her bedroom and assaulting her with a pair of weapons. When the couple’s 14-year-old daughter tried to intervene, police say she was also assaulted.

The three victims managed to escape the burning home and fled to a neighbour’s house, where 911 was called.

Police and Township fire crews arrived to find flames shooting through the windows and roof.

The house was destroyed in the blaze.

The victims were all taken to hospital, where the mother remained in stable condition as of Friday.

Letters to the Editor Deer to deer

Wasa has an overpopulation of deer.

Lately mule deer have replaced whitetails.

Yesterday when I stepped out my door bright and early to go for a walk, three whitetails jumped into my yard, crossed it, went out the side gate, crossed the road leading to the beach, and jumped into Block II of parks territory.

The three whitetail were 100 yards in when three mulies stood from their bedding place.

The whitetails halted. The mule does each advanced on one of the unexpected visitors. The largest of those mulies went face to face with the middle whitetail. They stood “talking” or glaring for maybe three minutes. The whitetails, moved off changing their direction to go across the high-

way. The mule deer relaxed and decided to nibble a few bites of grass for breakfast.

Joseph Creek

In response to the article ‘Joseph Creek a mess, decry seniors’ which appeared in the Townsman on Wednesday April 2, I believe it is important to make two points.

First, the property that the residents of Joseph Creek Village are talking about is private property including both sides of Joseph Creek which runs through it.

The second point is that this parcel of land is zoned C2 — Highway Commercial which allows for outside storage — a permissible use of that property.

ONGOING

The reality is the City does not have the power to force the property owner to conduct a general clean-up of the property. In the City’s bylaws, what may be deemed an unsightly premise in residential areas does not necessarily translate to a commercial property where equipment and other business related materials are stored, even though it may appear that the site is somewhat disorganized or that the material kept on site is strewn hap-hazard.

I certainly do understand the concerns raised. I strongly encourage the residents of Joseph Creek Village, through their strata council, to approach the property owner directly to see if something could be done around their concerns about the site.

Interior Health helps mark Volunteer Week Submit ted

Interior Health is celebrating its thousands of volunteers during National Volunteer Week April 6 – 12. Volunteer Week is an opportunity to recognize and thank volunteers for the work they do to enhance health care delivery throughout the region.

Volunteer recognition events will be held at many local hospitals and residential care facilities throughout the region during the month of April. In other areas, gifts or cards are offered as thanks.

Interior Health is supported by an estimated 4,800 volunteers.

“I really cannot say enough about our volunteers,” said Norman Embree, Interior Health Board Chair. “We liter-

ally could not do what we do without their support.”

In the West Kootenay, Interior Health is celebrating volunteers such as Judy Sorensen, whose volunteer program brings the beauty of art to the residents of the Columbia View Lodge residential care site in Trail. Residents’ awe-inspiring paintings now line the halls of Columbia View and other locations in the region. Sorensen also took it upon herself to research the therapeutic benefits of art, particularly for individuals with dementia, and conducts her art program in a way that draws from everything art can do to engage and support residents.

“For me, volunteering is just part of what you do. Seeing the residents’ reactions when they

see what they have done is very rewarding,” said Sorensen. “It’s important for me to treat people how I would want to be treated. When I have to go to residential care, I would like to have people come by and support me with things like this.”

In the East Kootenay, Interior Health is recognizing volunteers like Odette Rouse in Cranbrook, whose dedicated support of the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary Society over the last 32 years helped turn a modest thrift store in a rented basement space into a thriving independent business and part of the community.

“I was very lucky in my own life, so I felt it was important to give back. I truly believe what we are doing with our store serves multiple purposes. Our

Canada’s scandal filled spring

I

find it scandalous how many scandals have just broken, or are looming, on the political horizon. Don’t you?

In Ontario we have Premier Kathleen Wynne mired in a messy mix of accusations and finger-pointing over who gave an IT expert the secret password to government computers, which subsequently allowed a large chunk of data to be erased from said computers. Some say it was former Premier Dalton McGinty, but others point to the current Premier. In any event, questions are flying around the Premier even as she faces the possibility of her minority government going down over the budget she will table in a few weeks.

Next door in La Belle Province, in the midst of an election campaign, current Premier Pauline Marois is denying allegations that her husband Claude Blanchet solicited $25,000 in cheques from an engineering firm in exchange for special access to his wife. Sort of like pimp my bride. The Quebec Federation of Labour is also claiming they had a special deal with Blanchet.

All this after Quebec just booted a scandal-plagued Liberal government.

In Saskatchewan, Social Services Minister June Draude says she is repaying Saskatchewan taxpayers the $4,400 she paid to hire a car for two days on a trip to Lon-

don. Must have been some car.

In Alberta, the province is still reeling from Premier Allison Redford’s fall over travel expenses and more news is coming out by the day. It did seem that the Premier stepped down awfully quickly — in fact many people felt she was forced out. Some cried sexism. But, as it turns out the travel expenses were only the tip of a scandalous iceberg. It is now reported that Ms. Redford’s office had commissioned plans to convert the top floor of the provincially owned Carolyn federal building in EdGrant monton into a penthouse living space for the premier. A deluxe penthouse, complete with formal and informal dining rooms and a butler’s pantry. A butler!

Right here at home, we have MLA Jenny Kwan paying back some $34,000 for family vacations her husband charged to a non-profit for which he worked. Kwan has also taken a leave of absence.

People in Manitoba seem to be behaving themselves; perhaps unable to summon the energy after a five-month cold snap. Or rather, politicians seem to be behaving themselves. But another particular subset — the hockey parent — is bringing attention of a less than welcome kind to the province where “Canada’s heart beats.”

That’s a new slogan for the province, who like Kimberley, recently went through a

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

branding process. Anyhoo, a Winnipeg mother and father have been been banned from watching their eight-year-old son play hockey for three years after they got into a fist fight with the opposing team’s coaches during a kids tournament in Fargo, N.D., earlier this year. Something certainly beats in Manitoba.

Out east, Canada’s friendliest people are scandal-free for the moment, as they shovel out from the last mammoth snowstorm.

But scandal doesn’t just confine itself to hockey parents and provincial politicians.

At the federal level we have Prime Minister Harper firing the director of the Conservative Party for his interference in his girlfriend’s bid to be the Conservative candidate in a newly-created riding.

We have the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair trying to explain tax-payer funded “satellite” offices in Quebec and Saskatchewan.

And we have Justin Trudeau dropping the f-bomb and his political opponents shrieking in horror, as if they had never heard the word before.

He should have just taken a note from his father and told everyone he only said “Fuddle Duddle”. Which is probably what is father is muttering from the afterlife as he watches Canadian politicians at their finest.

WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE

Ice bring split with Tigers back home Kootenay and Medicine Hat each earn a win to kick off the second round of the playoffs TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Considering the Ice haven’t won in Medicine Hat all year, coming out with a split after two games isn’t all that bad.

Kootenay stole a 4-2 win on Saturday night to open the second round against the Tigers, but the Tabbies got their revenge on Sunday with a 5-2 victory to even it up.

The series now shifts to Cranbrook for Game Three and Game Four on Wednesday and Thursday.

While the Ice big guns have yet to hit the scoresheet, Kootenay has been getting scoring from other areas of the lineup.

“It’s huge, because Descheneau and Reinhart didn’t get any points tonight,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill. “It’s huge for our guys to score because of that, and that’s what

you need to win in the playoffs.”

On Saturday, Rinat Valiev scored the game-winning goal and Mackenzie Skapski made 28 saves to lift the Ice to a 4-2 win to open the series.

Austin Vetterl, Jon Martin and Jagger Dirk added further offence for Kootenay, while Trevor Cox and Cole Sanford replied for Medicine Hat. Tabbies goaltender Marek Langhamer was busy in goal, and only allowed three goals in 42 shots.

Vetterl scored a quick goal, poking the puck into the net less than two minutes into the game. Trevor Cox answered back six minutes later to knot up the affair.

Sanford gave the Tigers a 2-1 edge in the second period, but Martin got it back to a tie, banging in a pass from Levi Cable, who

broke in on a partial breakaway.

“I thought we were good in the first 10 minutes,” said McGill. “We won face-offs, were good on the forecheck.

“When you score the first goal on the road, that helps, but when they made it 2-1, I thought we did a good job of bouncing back to score and tie it up right away, so that was huge for us.”

The game remained tied up until 13:08 of the third period, when Valiev put in a blistering slapshot just after an Ice power play ended to make it 3-2.

Dirk added an empty netter in the final minute to seal it up for Kootenay.

It was an eventful finish as over 70 minutes in penalties were handed out in the final 16 seconds of the game.

Jacob Doty sat out in Game Two after getting hit with a one-game

suspension from the league for his actions.

Kootenay’s hot power play cooled off, going scoreless in seven opportunities with the man-advantage.

“We got to get our power play going, when we go 0-7...it’s got to be better tomorrow.” McGill added.

On Sunday, Tigers captain Curtis Valk and Steve Owre both tallied a pair of goals on the way to a 5-2 win against the Ice to even up the series.

Kootenay got goals from Cable and Dirk, while Cox added an empty net marker for Medicine Hat. Langhamer picked up the win with 22 saves, while Skapski turned away 32 shots in defeat.

Owre got up on the board first, redirecting a shot from Ty Stanton to make it 1-0 for an early lead.

A couple minutes

later, Cable took the puck off the sideboards, walked through a few players and buried his third goal of the post-season to even it up.

Dirk added his second goal in as many games, joining the rush and finishing off a pass from Austin Vetterl in Tabbies territory.

Kootenay took a 2-1 lead into the second period, but Valk scooped up a turnover in the neutral zone and beat Skapski after advancing into the offensive zone.

Knotted after 40 minutes, Valk scored again—the eventual game-winner—in the third period off a threeon-two rush into the Kootenay zone.

Owre added some insurance with a goal off another redirection, and Cox found the back of an empty net within the final two minutes to put the game out of reach.

BEIJING - Canada’s Kevin Koe had to settle for fourth place at the world men’s curling championship after falling 7-5 to Switzerland in Sunday’s bronze-medal match.

Koe’s Calgary rink came into the 10th end down by three, but couldn’t muster the comeback, scoring just a single point in the final end against the Swiss team.

Switzerland stole single points in the first two ends, and padded their lead with deuces in the sixth and ninth ends en route to the victory.

“We definitely didn’t want to lose that game,” said lead Nolan Thiessen. “But after yesterday, it was tough to get fired up. But no excuses. They played better than us.”

Canada had two chances on Saturday to reach Sunday’s gold-medal game, but fell short to Norway’s Thomas Ulsrud in the 1-2 Page playoff game, and then to Sweden’s Oskar Eriksson in the semifinal. Norway will play Sweden for the gold medal later Sunday.

“I thought we played well in the one-two game and the semi,” sad Koe. “We were very close. But in games like that where the other teams are playing well, you have to make the last shot of the end sometimes and we let our chances slip away.”

Hockey Canada CEO Bob Nicholson to step down

TORONTO - Bob Nicholson has been the architect of some of Canada’s greatest hockey moments, including seven Olympic gold medals.

Now the future of Canada’s world-class hockey program will be in someone else’s hands.

Nicholson announced Friday that he is stepping down as president and CEO of Hockey Canada effective June 1. He has held both positions since 1998 and has presided over a highly successful era for Canada in international hockey.

Nicholson has been involved in amateur hockey since 1979, when he was hired by current American Hockey League president and CEO Dave Andrews as technical director with the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association.

“I look back to when Dave Andrews hired me in 1979, that’s 35 years ago,” Nicholson said at a news conference Friday. “I think its time.”

Nicholson moved on to the national scene in 1990, becoming vice-president of programs with the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association for two years and vice-president of the Canadian Hockey Association of six years before taking the reins at Hockey Canada.

Under his watch Canada has won 44 gold medals in international competition, the most recent being men’s wand women’s Olympic titles at the Sochi Games.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could find others to be demanding. Know that you can’t make everyone happy all the time. A loved one or associate will let you know this fact in no uncertain terms. Explaining can only go so far with someone who does not want to listen.

Tonight: Play it low-key.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Keep communication flowing.

You might want to consider what is said without personalizing the comment. You could feel as if you have no say with a volatile person in your life.

It might be good to go to the gym to work out some stress.

Tonight: Visit with a friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be open to a different method of handling your finances. You might get some important tips that could help you in the future. Be more forthright in your dealings with others. A loved one could cause some problems. Tonight: Buy a treat on the

way home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be facing a problem you don’t want to deal with, but you will have little choice. You might not be sure what to say.

Honor a change with a friend or loved one. You could find some of this person’s views challenging at best. Tonight: Do what makes you happy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be walking right into a hornet’s nest without even realizing it. You could have very little to do with the situation, yet you could be the one being blamed. Listen to your instincts.

Use care with flaring tempers.

Tonight: Cocoon at home if possible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Emphasize the positives, even if all you are hearing are the negatives. The more you detach from this situation, the better your choices will be. Honor a need for a change, but know that you don’t have to act just yet. Tonight: Escape the tension around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You might want to try a new approach or find a different way of handling a problem. Clearly you do not have all the answers.

Still, you must take a bigger role in what is going on. Be sensitive to a boss who could be off-kilter.

Tonight: Vanish quickly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Detach from any volatile situation. You might be angrier than you realize. Express your side of a disagreement by saying what you want. A friend could be very difficult to deal with. Don’t be petty. Tonight: Answer emails, then see what you feel like doing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your creativity will be pushed to the max when dealing with a changeable situation. The issue could involve a friend or loved one. You will need to renegotiate what was previously thought to be written in stone.

Tonight: With a favorite person.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You defer to others easily and probably too quickly. Honor a change within yourself, and keep in mind that a situation

could get better with time. You seem to be less attached to a personal matter than you realize. Let go and relax. Tonight: Join friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Try to stay away from controversy. Buckle down and get your work done. Others might share a lot of their feelings. Detach and gain a new perspective.

It is important for you to stay neutral. Tonight: Jump on your computer and surf the Web. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your imagination and creativity will take you to a new level. A partner suddenly might be very short and irritable. Be smart and walk away from an argument. Understand that a money matter needs to be handled.

Realize what you want here.

Tonight: Add some caring.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: A few years ago, my brother announced that he should have been born a female. He started counseling and three years ago legally changed his first name and began living as a woman. This devastated my parents and two of my siblings, and they have disowned him.

I have not seen my brother since then.

Our youngest sibling, “Paul,” embraced the change and kept in touch with him. Paul is getting married soon and wants a family wedding, complete with his sister “Jane.” My parents are devastated all over again. They refuse to attend the wedding if Jane is there.

Jane has no desire to be in the lives of our family at all, except for our youngest sibling.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

-- Feeling Overwhelmed in Smalltown, USA Dear Overwhelmed: Paul gets to invite whomever he chooses, and your parents and siblings get to decide whether or not to attend. We hope everyone will show up, not only to be supportive of Paul on his big day, but also to reconnect, even from a distance, with Jane. It always makes us sad when relatives reject a child because of his or her sexual orientation. We urge you (and, hopefully, your parents and other siblings) to check out PFLAG (pflag.org) for information on transgendered individuals. Jane undoubtedly would be grateful for your support.

Dear Annie: My wife and I are both in our 80s, and we are physically slowing down. It has reached the point that we need some help cleaning our house. But the horror stories from our friends are all the same. While the cleaning effort is good and the workers are dependable, there is one caveat: Persons employed by many local advertised cleaning services are paid just above the minimum wage. This creates a real temptation to steal.

Our friends report that after every cleaning, personal items are missing. When they changed services, the same thing happened.

If we have to put away all of our personal items that lay around the house, we may as well just clean it ourselves. How do we find someone we can trust? -- Need Help in Jacksonville, Fla. Dear Need Help: The best way to find good cleaning help is to ask for a referral from a friend, relative, neighbor or through your house of worship. If you live in an apartment or condo, ask the building manager or doorman whether there is a service that works in the building. We also suggest you find out whether the cleaning service company is insured and the employees bonded. There are no guarantees, unfortunately, but it’s a good place to start.

Dear Annie: This is for “Don’t Want To Be Old-Fashioned,” who asked about writing an RSVP for a mass-mailing event. As a professional event planner, I am deeply appreciative when I receive an RSVP, whether it is an acceptance or regrets.

It helps me to prepare enough materials and create the appropriate atmosphere.

Who wants to sit in a large room with several empty seats when a small room would have been nicer? And if someone writes a personal note saying they cannot attend due to major surgery, I can inform the event hosts so they can acknowledge it.

I do understand in the age of mass electronic communications that the response rate and understanding of RSVP has changed, but simple common courtesy should never be disregarded in professional or personal interactions.

I’d like to thank “Don’t Want To Be Old-Fashioned.” I hope to see her at the next event I am planning. -- Appreciative Event Planner in the Midwest Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
