at 39-year-old male from Calgary deceased as a result of an ATV crash,” Newel said.

“From the investigation, police determined the subject was travelling along a utility right of way when he lost control. It’s believed the rider was ejected from the machine, which then rolled onto him.

Newel said a male from Cranbrook also sustained injuries when his machine rolled and flipped over him when he went to assist.

Members of both the Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP detachments answered a combined 100 calls for service over the May long weekend, primarily dealing with campers.

The most serious of the calls was a fatal ATV accident near Suzie Main Forest Service Road in the Koocanusa area.

Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel reports that RCMP were notified of the incident by BC Ambulance.

Teachers’ rotating strikes kick off in School District 5 Monday ARNE PE TRYSHEN Townsman Staff

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation plans to start one-day rotating strikes at schools around the province on Monday.

Locally, the rotating strikes will hit School District 5 for one day on Monday, May 26.

School District 5 is asking that parents keep their children at home for that day.

“While school facilities will remain open under the supervision

of school district staff, we will be unable to provide students with instruction or appropriate supervision during this period of job action,” a school district press release read. “We are therefore requesting that parents keep their children at home.”

It notes that school principals will be able to address any additional information that parents may have.

“It is the sincere hope of the Board of Education that this dis-

Cranbrook’s volunteer emergency responders will hold an open house this Saturday

S a l ly Mac D o n a ld Townsman Staff

A volunteer-run Cranbrook emergency services provider is opening its doors to the public this weekend.

Cranbrook Search and Rescue (SAR) is inviting everyone down to its headquarters at 38 – 7th Avenue South for an open house on Saturday, May 24, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“There is going to be a vehicle extrication demo, there is going to be rope rescue demonstrations, and all of our equipment will be here, set up for people to look at,” said Greg Bedwell, SAR president.

It’s an event to bring the kids to, he said, and also a chance for anyone who might be interested in learning more about becoming a SAR volunteer to talk to someone about what that involves.

SAR has two trucks: one for highway rescue, which holds the Jaws of Life, and one for ground searches. It also has two side-by-side ATVs that are used in ground searches.

It’s the first time Cranbrook SAR has held an open house, and Bedwell said it’s a chance to “show people what we are doing and our new home.”

The volunteer organization moved into its current location on 7th Avenue last July. SAR was able to purchase

the building and relocate from its cramped quarters at the old fire hall after an anonymous donor gave the group $180,000.

It’s an ideal location for SAR because it’s close to the highway and not across the railway tracks, allowing for rapid response; and it’s large enough to hold the two trucks, a trailer,

City staff said the quote is from a local contractor that usually does roadwork for the city.

The Accumulated Surplus fund has a current balance of $4.37 million, and the city’s target balance is $2.5 million.

“Therefore the recommendation is that this come out of the Accumulated Surplus,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski. “We’ll still have a very healthy surplus.”

The fund is available in the event of significant infrastructure emergency expenditures brought on by unforeseen events.

The repair will consist of the road surface.

‘Wreck-reation’ leaves appalling mess Long weekend campers leave behind trash, toilet paper, abandoned camping gear on Crown land at Koocanusa

Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

South Country residents are left with a horrible cleanup this week after long weekend campers left behind a pile of garbage on Crown land near Koocanusa.

Area B director Heath Slee said he visited a popular camping spot beside the reservoir on Monday, May 19 and found a scene that he called a sign of “wreckreation on Koocanusa”.

“For a moment I thought I was standing in the middle of (the) landfill – the only difference being, there was no equipment in place to bury the litter,” Slee said.

Victoria Day weekend signals the start of summer camping at Koocanusa, when people from Alberta and elsewhere in the Kootenays flock to the reservoir.

South Country residents have long complained about the condition of Crown land around the reservoir after

campers have packed up and left. But this time, it’s much worse.

“I was appalled at the level of disregard for the landscape, and disrespect for local residents,” said Slee.

The site just north of Kikomun bridge was littered with garbage, used toilet paper, and abandoned camping equipment. Ash from campfires littered the ground, and several trees were destroyed for no apparent reason.

Slee was so horrified that he sent an email to fellow Regional District of East Kootenay elected officials to ask them to join him at a clean-up of the site on Tuesday, May 20.

“This would be a great opportunity for folks to see firsthand what local residents in the area are having to deal with and clean up during the summer months.

“Sadly, it’s a poor reflection on our neighbours to the east.”

Academy name change brings dance studio to Cranbrook CAROLYN GR ANT

The Kimberley Dance Academy is in the process of changing its name to the Kootenay Dance Academy, and is set to expand into Cranbrook.

Director Leslie Lindberg has been teaching students for many years, and sticking with them from the time they can barely tie their dance shoes through high school.

The year-end show, produced by the Academy and performed at Key City Theatre, is a must see for dance fans.

This year’s show is May 30 and May 31.

Lindberg is hoping Cranbrook dance fans come to the show as well, not only to enjoy a great evening of dance, but also to see what the Academy can produce

Zoe Ferguson photo

Kimberley Dance Academy students are ready to show their stuff at the year end show on May 30 and 21. Above, The Reel Chaplin. The company is soon to be known as the Kootenay Dance Academny because it’s expanding into Cranbrook.

“Come to the show and see what we’re all about,” Lindberg said.

“It’s a perfect opportu-

nity to see what we offer.”

Initially, what Lindberg will be offering are classes two days a week at the Royal Stewart

Highland Dance studio on 8th Avenue South.

She says the class type will depend on demand but she will definitely be offering tap and jazz.

“Hopefully what we offer is something kids will be excited about.

This is a trial, two days a week,” she said. “Any classes we don’t offer in Cranbrook will be available in Kimberley.

We’ve had a great response so far.”

Lindberg says that in previous years she did it all herself so expansion was impossible.

“But I’ve added a couple of fantastic teachers so I think the time is right.”

The Kimberley studio will continue to offer a wide range of classes and will continue to nurture the new competitive dance team.

This is a travelling team which competes at various dance competitions. It is put together through an audition process, which Cranbrook dancers can try as well.

“It’s a great experience for the kids. These are kids who are really serious about pursuing

dance. We picked eight dancers. They did a fantastic job last year. We’re going to open it to the East Kootenay this year.

These dancers are very focused on competition, very dedicated.”

Police report busy long weekend Continued from page 1 Newel said a male from Cranbrook also sustained injuries when he went to assist as his machine rolled and flipped over him causing injury. The injuries were non-life threatening and he was able to perform CPR until emergency personnel arrived and took over.

Newel says the operators were not wearing proper safety equipment.

The incident is still under investigation by the RCMP and also the Coroner’s Service. He says toxicology reports, including whether alcohol was involved,

would come from the Coroner’s Service.

That wasn’t the only serious incident, Newel reports.

The same night, Friday, May 16, police were called to a firearm related incident near Teepee Creek and Gold Creek Forest Service roads.

Newel says the incident could have been considerably worse than it was.

“A subject discharged a firearm in an unsafe manner that entered into a travel trailer. Fortunately nobody was hurt. That matter is still under investigation

and charges could be recommended.”

Roadblocks were conducted in several locations, particularly near the junction of Koocanusa/Baynes Lake Road. In one incident a spike belt had to be deployed, and after three tires were deflated, police were able to stop the vehicle. The driver had attempted to evade the road block and narrowly missed hitting a police officer while doing so.

“She was impaired and received a 90 day driving prohibition and her vehicle was impounded for 30 days,” Newel said. “In addi-

tion she received violation tickets for Drive Without Due Care and Attention and Fail to Stop for Police.”

Over the weekend, police apprehended at least four impaired drivers; there were several drug seizures and a number of violation tickets issued. There were a number of party, noise and disturbance complaints in the rural and city areas.

“All this was in addition to a number of routine calls for service which varied from traffic complaints, to thefts, to domestic situations and assaults,” Newel said.

MP comes through Cranbrook talking pipelines Barry Coulter

A prominent federal NDP politician came through Cranbrook Tuesday, May 20, talking pipelines.

Nathan Cullen is the Member of Parliament for the riding of Skeena—Bulkley Valley, B.C.’s biggest federal constituency, encompassing vast swaths of the province’s north and north coast. It is also the jurisdiction through which most of the pro-

posed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines will run.

Cullen is touring through B.C., inviting discussion of the issues surrounding the controversial project, which has met with opposition in his riding and elsewhere. He held a public meeting, Tuesday at noon at the Heritage Inn, before moving on to another meeting in Nelson later that evening.

“It’s a bit unusual to

bring (the subject of the pipeline) down here, but we’ve found the interest is strong across B.C.,” Cullen told the Townsman prior to the meeting. I know people in the north are certainly feeling implicated.”

The Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines Project is a proposal to construct twin pipeline 1,177 km in length, running from Alberta to Kitimat, B.C. The eastbound pipeline would

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook is considering adopting “City of Cranbrook Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3797, 2014”.

If adopted, the proposed Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment will change the land use designation of the subject property from a “Highway Commercial” designation to a “Low Density Residential” designation”.

Approval of the proposed OCP amendment will enable consideration of “Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3798, 2014”, to permit rezoning of the subject property from “C-2 - Highway Commercial Zone” to “RT - Residential Transition Zone”.

The subject property is legally described as Lot A, District Lot 2872, Kootenay District, Plan 11840, Except Part in Plan 13947, and is located on 30th Avenue N. as indicated on the reference map below.

import hydrocarbon natural gas condensate and the westbound pipeline would export bitumen from the Athabasca oil sands diluted with the condensate to Kitimat, where it would be transported to Asian markets by oil tankers.

Cullen said opposition to the pipeline is based on three points.

“The risks far outweigh the benefits,” he said.

“And it’s raw export — we’ve seen this in B.C. with forestry. And it runs directly counter to the interests and values of the people most impacted. And in a free democracy, you’d think that should matter for something.”

The latter point, Cullen said, is especially troubling.

“We like to knock down trees and dig up rocks up north,” he said.

Nathan Cullen “We’re very pro-development. We understand the value of resources.

But we’re getting a bit tired of the ‘rip and ship’ strategy.

“About a month ago, I did a tour through the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island, and a lot of people were turning up, and wanting to have a say — either specifically about that project or about the way

things are being done.

Which is overriding the interests and values of the people being impacted. It’s kind of like ‘Ottawa knows best,’ coming down and imposing its will.”

One aspect of the meeting is explaining what the project is all about, Cullen said. “In the north we’re very familiar with what the project is — raw bitumen, one going one way, one going the other, selling oil to China. Then there’s also the politics of it.

“The (Conservative government) changed the rules, taking away a bunch of the environmental triggers, also giving themselves — Prime Minister Harper — the decision himself.

Whereas before it was decided by a panel. So the decision is his, and

that’s made it a political decision.

“If this is the way we’re going to decide things in this country, then it’s a problem for everybody. So we’re very much wanting to send a message back to the current government, that if this is the way you want to do business, you’re going to create massive conflict and uncertainty.”

The Cranbrook meeting was Cullen’s first in the southeast Interior.

After Cranbrook and Nelson, it’s up to Kamloops and then Prince George.

“Part of this is to get the Prime Minister to understand that he’s not getting this pipeline built, and I hope he doesn’t want this to be his legacy,” Cullen said.

“People are very dedicated to stopping it.

SD5 on one-day strike Monday Continued from page 1 The rotating strikes come as BCTF is rejecting the offer of a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year.

BCTF president Jim Iker said Tuesday the bonus doesn’t make up for the government’s wage offer of 6.5 per cent over six years.

A simultaneous threat to cut teacher wages 5 per cent or more because of strike action is “just so disrespectful, so unnecessary, and we’ll be dealing with it at the Labour Relations Board,” Iker said.

Unless there is some compromise on major issues, one-day strikes with picket lines will be

staged at one group of school districts in each of the first four days next week, with teachers returning to work across the province on Friday, May 30.

Iker reiterated the union’s position that more pay, more teachers and a return to contract language guaranteeing class size and special needs support are needed to reach a settlement.

Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the province’s 60 school districts, informed the union last week that a 5 per cent pay cut will be put in place “soon” in response to the first phase of strike action.

The BCTF began work-to-rule action in April, refusing supervision outside classrooms and

communication with school management. Rotating strikes were also authorized by the BCTF membership in a March vote, and beginning to shut down schools could result in an effort to cut teacher pay by 10 per cent.

Cameron said last week the union’s latest wage demand amounts to 15.9 per cent over four years, far beyond what other provincial public service unions have received. The BCTF maintains its wage proposal is 13.25 per cent over four years, including cost-of-living increases based on each year’s inflation rate.

Sic transit Gloria mundi

ecently I ran into a young woman and was surprised when I recognized her. I thought she was living in Vancouver. She must be well over 40 now, but still athletic and, with it, very good-looking.

I’d first met Gloria when I was assisting at a rock-climbing outing being led by friends, who were still teaching at the high school.

It was a pleasant group of kids, although one lad did his very best to have a fatal accident. We instructors used him as an example to the others of what not to do.

Gloria was the opposite; she out-climbed everyone, including the mortified ‘jocks’, as she romped up everything we put in front of her.

The following summer I was leading a party of adult local citizens for a week in the Rockies and, having learned that Gloria came from a fairly impecunious family, I asked her if she would like to come along and cook for us. Gloria squinted at me, attempting to see if I were joking, then said, “I’ve never even boiled an egg successfully.” Naturally, I persisted and I was extremely glad that I had; Gloria was a delight to everyone.

In retrospect, I don’t remember Gloria actually cooking. We’d be up on some high

ridge in the late afternoon and I’d say, “Right, girl. Go and start the fire and put the pot on,” and she’d scoot off with alacrity, probably bored with the codgers, and so when we oldies tottered wearily into camp, the tea water would be boiling. The women of the party promptly adopted the girl; the men fell in love.

Because I had become so fond of her, I guess, I Peter teased young Gloria ungiving her huge Warland mercifully, loads to carry and making her break trail in deep summer snow but she was either too coy or too respectful to go after me and retaliate, and so she must have bided her time until the very end of the expedition. She may even have been aided and abetted by some of the other hikers.

One of the ladies in the group had brought along her young son, a boy some years younger than Gloria, and he aspired to spend a night up on a ridge. I delegated Gloria to be his escort and she, after giving me what can only be called ‘a dirty look’, acquiesced. The two youngsters took their sleeping bags and set off just before dark. I suspect that the mother of the boy felt some anxiety — I did.

But the two survived, recounting tales of a quiet night, the brilliant stars, a chill wind and the fact that each one of them

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

was positive that he or she was gradually slipping in his or her sleeping bag towards the abyss.

My friend Paul and I swam every day on that expedition. The weather was perfect and the days bright with sunshine. Out of respect for the others, we didn’t skinny dip but swam in our underpants and, gradually, as the days passed, the others joined in, the ladies sporting T-shirts modestly.

Gloria, the only young female of the group, declined to swim until the very last day when she disappeared from camp and, apparently, walked round to the opposite side of the lake for her ablutions.

When she returned and assured us that she had indeed swum, I commented about the ‘ring around the lake’. I was asking for retribution.

On the very last bright, summery day of the trip we packed up, Paul and I making sure that nothing was left behind. Any extras, like the metal grill we’d used over the fire, any tent equipment, anything including a few rocks that had surrounded the fire, I stuffed into Gloria’s already over-loaded pack. I sent her off to guide the oldies down to the vehicles.

I got my come-uppance down where we’d parked the vehicles. Gloria greeted me with the sweetest of smiles then smeared a load of melted chocolate chips in my face. I had to lick them off on the drive home.

SPORTS BRIEFS Foreurs into Memorial Cup semifinal with 4-3 double OT win over Oil Kings

TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO

Cranbrook Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek works with his team during practice at Confederation Park on Tuesday night.

Bandits split weekend tournament Local baseball team earns a pair of wins and losses during a trip to Kalispell TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It went down to the final innings for the Cranbrook Bandits as they picked up two wins in four games during a tournament in Kalispell over the weekend.

The Bandits won their opener against the hosts at 8-6, before dropping a close game at 6-4 to Calgary, which was decided in the final inning. The Cranbrook team rebounded for an 11-10 win over the Whitefish Glaciers, before dropping a 15-5 decision to Kalispell in a rematch of their opening game.

Tied up at 6-6 after seven innings on Friday, the Bandits took an edge against the host Lakers at the top of the eighth when Brenden Bird scored off a double from Devon Marra.

Brandon Ouilette also scored from third after the Kalispell pitcher walked a Bandits hitter.

Ryotara Yukawa then caught a line drive, while Marra threw for two outs to end the game.

“That was a good game, we were behind and came back twice to take the lead,” said Ban-

dits head coach Paul Mrazek. “They tied it up and we went into extra innings.

“The players executed and got the bunt down so we could advance the runner to third so we could get him into scoring position with nobody out.”

That play was started

by Bird, who bunted to advance to first, before heading to second and third off hits from Jake Bromley and Ouilette.

“We scored two to take the lead and they couldn’t come back as they were the home team and had last bats,” said Mrazek. “So that was great to see the kids keep battling and come from behind to win that game.”

Bird scored in the first inning, while Ouilette also put the Bandits on the board in the second.

By the bottom of the fourth, the Lakers had a 3-2 lead, but Bromley tied it up, before Marra and Connor Armstrong put the Bandits back ahead by two at the top of the fifth.

However, Kalispell scored twice in the bottom to even things up.

Bird scored in the

sixth to make it 6-5 but the Lakers tied it up in the bottom of the 7th to force extra innings.

Armstrong and Marra both had a pair of RBI’s, while singles came from Ouilette and Tyler Thorn.

“We scored two to take the lead and they couldn’t come back as they were the home team and had last bats, so that was great to see the kids keep battling and come from behind to win that game.”

Paul Mrazek Thorn and Marra also shared pitching duties at four innings apiece and both throwing for three strikeouts.

The Bandits followed up with a close game against a team out of Calgary on Saturday, losing 6-4 in the final inning when the opposition scored twice.

“We came out

strong—we were up 4-1 and we lost 6-4, so there’s some little things that we need to improve on there,” said Mrazek.

“When we’re winning, we gotta stay aggressive and keep battling and finish off the game, we can’t let other teams back in.”

Right after that, the team headed back out onto the diamond to face the Glaciers, coming back with four runs in the fourth inning to pick up a one-run lead and win 11-10.

“Both teams didn’t pitch well or hit well and there were a lot of errors, it was a high scoring game,” said Mrazek.

“So we need to improve on base running, situational hitting, hitting the ball on the ground so we can advance the hitter, getting our bunts down—we had some situations where we didn’t get it on the ground, we fouled it off.”

Yukawa, Marra and Thorn scored twice, while Bird, Armstrong, Ouilette, Cedar Kemp and Rylan D’Etchevery also added to the board.

Armstrong and Ouilette both had two RBI’s while Bromley had three.

That win advanced them to the championship game against their hosts on Sunday in a rematch of their opener, but the Lakers handed the Bandits a tough 15-5 loss.

“Unfortunately, we were getting thin on arms and we really didn’t have enough pitching,” said Mrazek.

With that in mind, he’s keeping his pitchers after practice along with some infielders and catchers to work on positional play.

Scoreless after two innings, the Lakers went up five runs in the bottom of the third, erasing a tenuous lead from the Bandits after Yukawa scored off an RBI from Marra.

By the bottom of the fourth, the Lakers went up another six runs.

Armstrong scored on an error, while Marra doubled to bring Ouilette home. Thorn singled to bring Marra home and Kemp added the fifth Bandits run off a ground ball from D’Etchevery.

However, that would be it, as the Lakers added another four runs at the bottom of the fifth.

LONDON, Ont. - Anthony Richard scores the double overtime winner for the Val-d’Or Foreurs in a 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oil Kings at the Memorial Cup on Tuesday.

The Foreurs advance to Friday’s semifinal with the marathon win that finished with Richard scoring on a breakaway 1:15 in the second overtime.

Pierre-Maxime Poudrier scored short-handed for the Foreurs with captain Samuel Henley and Shawn Ouellette-St-Amant also contributinhg a goal each for the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champions.

Curtis Lazar had a goal and an assist for the Oil Kings. Henrik Samuelsson and Reid Petryk also scored for the Western Hockey League champions.

Edmonton outshot Val-d’Or 50-33. Foreurs goaltender Antoine Bibeau stopped 47 shots, including a penalty-shot attempt in the first period. Oil Kings goaltender Tristan Jarry made 29 saves in defeat.

The tournament’s final round-robin game pits the Ontario Hockey League champions the Guelph Storm against the host London Knights.

The Storm have already secured a berth in Sunday’s final with two wins, while the winless Knights need a victory to avoid elimination and get into a tiebreaker game.

Cavaliers win No. 1 pick for second straight year at NBA draft lottery

NEW YORK - The Cleveland Cavaliers continued their remarkable lottery luck Tuesday, winning the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft for the second straight year.

It’s the third time in four years the Cavs will be atop the draft after moving up from the ninth spot.

They had just a 1.7 per cent chance of winning the top selection.

They drafted Kyrie Irving first in 2011 and will hope to do better with this win than last year, when they took Anthony Bennett, who had a forgettable rookie season.

Even changing up their lottery representative couldn’t change the Cavs’ luck. Nick Gilbert, the son of Cleveland owner Dan Gilbert, was on the podium for the previous two wins, but general manager David Griffin was there this time.

The Cavs can now choose among the likes of Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid of Kansas, Duke’s Jabari Parker, or another player from what’s considered a deep draft.

NFL awards Super Bowl to Minneapolis in 2018

MINNEAPOLIS - Now that Minneapolis has landed the 2018 Super Bowl, organizers are determined to show the world that nobody does winter better than Minnesota.

Touting the theme “Built for the Bold,” Minneapolis won largely on the appeal of the futuristic stadium replacing the Metrodome. But the city turned Minnesota’s legendary winters into a selling point, too.

Vikings president and owner Mark Wilf says organizers didn’t shy away from winter, they embraced it.

Plans call for turning the Nicollet Mall into a nearly mile-long Super Bowl Boulevard to showcase outdoor activities. There will also be links with the St. Paul Winter Carnival.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might find it more difficult right now to complete any project that involves physical effort.

If you allow your mind to wander, you are likely to come up with unusually dynamic ideas, though it might not be appropriate to start sharing them just yet. Tonight: Stay in.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll want to focus on some long-term goals. Expenses will be overwhelming and taxing, unless you ask someone to pitch in and help. Focus on the practical solutions that come up in a meeting. A friend might be quite distracting. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pressure builds around someone in charge, an older relative and/or a commitment. You will feel as if you must discharge some of this energy, but you might wonder how. Take a walk, delegate and use a support system in which you can exchange ideas. Tonight: In the limelight.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Make and return calls. Touch base with a close friend who does not live close to you. Your creativity flourishes when the two of you get together. Allow your mind to wander to other places. Is it time to schedule a vacation yet? Tonight: Be around great music.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to assume a more passive role. A friend has a tendency to run through your life and add a lot of chaos. Respond to someone else’s ideas, yet maintain your boundaries.

Make key calls later in the day.

Be as direct as possible. Tonight: Dinner for two.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Defer to others, and build goodwill. Share what could be inspiring and exciting information that was passed on to you.

Use caution with spending, as you could go overboard. A loved one or partner could be remote or difficult. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to discuss a

Tundra

situation in broad terms. The problem remains that you see a situation differently from how others see it; you could become irritated as a result. This bubbling frustration will build if others do not bend in your direction. Tonight: At a favorite place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your resourcefulness will take you in a different direction. You could feel very strongly about a creative project or situation.

You even might be suppressing some anger. Relate to others directly and on a one-on-one level. Tonight: Tap into your imagination when making plans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll feel ready to deal with a difficult situation. You finally will decide to root out the problem through your intuitive senses. You refuse to believe that a solution cannot be forthcoming. Please note all the mixed messages that come your way.

Tonight: Happy to be home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be forthright in how you deal with someone. Listen to feed-

back from a child or loved one, as this person could have a totally different perspective to offer. Funnel your energy and drive into a project that must be completed. Tonight: Hang out with your friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use the morning just for you.

You will wake up feeling unusually energized and upbeat.

Charge some of your emotional energy into a project, and tap into your ingenuity. The outcome will demonstrate your unique creativity. Tonight: Indulge a little.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are emotional yet anchored.

Understand what is happening with a loved one, but let this person know the implications of this behavior to you. He or she needs to understand that there are consequences for his or her actions. Tonight: Homeward bound.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am having a disagreement with my sister. She gets very upset when she is not invited to a party or other event. She believes she has the right to question the host’s motives for creating the guest list.

My sister claims she is justified in doing this because it would avoid the hurt feelings of someone being left off of the guest list by mistake. When she phones the host to ask questions, she says, “Perhaps you inadvertently left me off of the guest list because you don’t have my correct address.”

She says that when a close friend or relative is not invited to something, the host should contact those people to explain why not.

I say it’s rude to question the host. Sometimes the reason is financial, which would be embarrassing to explain. The people giving the party have no obligation to defend their guest list. I think if someone is not invited but wants to participate, she can send a card with congratulations or something.

What do you think? -- Invited/Not Invited Dear Invited: People are left off of a guest list for any number of reasons, including the fact that they may not want to invite you. It’s ridiculous to expect hosts to phone everyone they know to tell them why they are NOT being invited. By demanding an explanation under the guise of “preventing hurt feelings,” your sister forces the hosts to include her whether they want to or not, which is undoubtedly her intention. Tell her to knock it off.

Anyone who truly believes she may have been left off by mistake can ask a mutual friend or relative to investigate. She also could call and say, “I heard your daughter became engaged, and I just want to offer my best wishes.” Period. If there is an invitation missing, they will let her know. No explanation is required.

Dear Annie: I would like to comment on those who complain about how the media tell us we’re supposed to look: buff, thin, blemish-free, etc. I understand that these portrayals can lower one’s self-esteem. But the constant talk about it doesn’t help.

Kids hear that so many people are self-conscious about their bodies, and it affects them. They can’t develop their own opinions about how they should look. I am a 25-year-old woman and have somehow learned to appreciate my body the way it is: average. I see myself as beautiful, no matter what others may think. If people are happy with their looks, no matter what they are, we should leave them alone. This teaches us self-respect. -- Loving My Average Body Dear Loving: We agree that people are overly focused on their looks, partly because the media promote unattainable “perfection,” and the rest of us can’t help but absorb the message. Overweight or awkward kids are often bullied because of their appearance. Parents should teach their children to make healthy choices, but it is difficult to ignore all of the social messages that surround us. It takes a wise upbringing and a certain strength of character to be convinced that how you look is just fine, which, of course, is the truth. Good for you.

Dear Annie: You gave a great answer to “Spinning the Wheel in Pennsylvania,” whose wife and daughter want to hold back the granddaughter so she will be in the same class as her less academically advanced cousin.

I have several children and grandchildren, and I work for a school district. I have seen firsthand the damage that can be done to a child either by holding them back or pushing them ahead before they are ready. The only one to decide what the children will do is their parents. Aunts, uncles and grandparents should stay out of it. That boy will bloom with age. -- Seen What Happens in California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Bodies of six B.C. dogs initially reported stolen dumped in ditch: SPCA C anadian Press

VANCOUVER — The bodies of six dogs initially reported stolen from the back of a dog walker’s truck were found dumped in a ditch in Abbotsford, B.C., says an SPCA spokeswoman.

Lorie Chortyk said the agency retrieved the bodies of the young- to middle-aged dogs and transferred them Tuesday to a lab where necropsies will be done.

The results are expected

within a week and will determine how long the dogs were left in a vehicle in Langley, where they are believed to have died in hot weather.

The necropsy results, along with interviews with the dog walker and any witnesses, will be part of the SPCA’s report to Crown counsel, which will decide if animal cruelty charges will be laid.

The SPCA took over the investigation on Monday after the dog walker admitted

the animals were not stolen.

The woman initially told police and the dogs’ owners that she left her vehicle to use the washroom in a dog park and when she returned the dogs were gone.

The temperature was as high as 25 degrees last Tuesday, when the dog walker left the dogs, including one of her own, in her truck.

Chortyk said the SPCA and police deal with hundreds of calls every year in-

volving dogs left in vehicles.

“If you either wilfully, or through your actions allow an animal to suffer, that can be a criminal act.’’

Animals don’t have sweat glands and can be overcome with heat exhaustion, brain damage or even death in as little as 10 minutes because the temperature in a car can rise so quickly, even on an overcast day, she said.

“We really do want to warn people that leaving

windows open, leaving water, that is not going to help the situation. If an animal’s in a hot car you’ve put them in danger.’’

Animal cruelty charges could be laid under provincial or federal laws, Chortyk said. Under B.C. legislation, the maximum fine for animal cruelty is $75,000 or two years in jail. Under the Criminal Code, the maximum fine is $5,000 and 18 months behind bars.

Two Prince George teens dead after lake crash C ANADIAN PRESS

PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — Mounties in Prince George, B.C., say rumours and speculation are spreading surrounding the deaths of two teenagers whose bodies were pulled from a lake on Sunday.

Kendall Gabriella Moore, 17, and 19-yearold Craig Wood were killed when the SUV they were in plunged into Kwitzil Lake, also know as Gravel Pit Lake, early Sunday morning.

RCMP say they received a call at 4 a.m. about a vehicle that had gone into the lake, just off Highway 16 west of Prince George.

A search and rescue team found the 1994 GMC Jimmy, which was recovered from the water about 12 hours later.

Both youths were inside and pronounced dead at the scene.

Cpl. Todd Wilson called their deaths extremely tragic.

“We will do everything we can to determine how and why this tragedy took place,’’ he said in a news release issued Tuesday.

Mounties say rumours about Moore and Wood’s deaths have spread, including through social media, but investigations are underway to determine the facts.

Toxicology tests are being planned and the RCMP will continue to examine the SUV, which will also be mechanically checked.

RCMP are asking anyone who may have seen the incident or spoken to Moore or Wood early Sunday morning to contact them. Mounties say photos or video may assist in the investigation.

School district Supt.

Brian Pepper said all six high schools in the city are affected by the incident because many students attended an after-graduation party near the lake on Saturday night. Pepper said students returning to class after the long weekend are getting the support they need.

The BC Coroners Service is also investigating.
