BC Hydro spends $200 million in the East Kootenay Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

On Wednesday, Greg Reimer, BC Hydro’s executive vice-president of transmission and distribution, stopped by to talk about local initiatives in the area.

Reimer talked about the changes that the Crown corporation has faced as power demands continue to grow. He said in the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, BC

Hydro had a relatively new capacity.

“Here we are, 50 odd years later and the system is aging and the province is growing,” he said. “So what we’re doing is really investing in our system. In order to do that, we’re spending a lot of money on the transmission and distribution system in North America.”

Cranbrook’s pothole budget already bottomed out Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

The city’s pothole budget is bottoming out, with only $9,733 remaining out of the $123,000 total for the year.

Cranbrook Public Works will be utilizing the remaining funds primarily for pothole patching, but as that will only tackle some of the city’s road concerns, city staff may request additional funds.

CAO Wayne Staudt noted at the July 14 council meeting that city staff was quite aware of the pothole issues

around town.

“I don’t call them potholes anymore, I think if we were only dealing with potholes we could manage it, but we’re dealing with potholes that are the size of this room today,” Staudt said, referring to the council chambers. “At this time of the year we’ve already used it all up. So we might be coming back to council as we go on here requesting some additional money for some of these potholes.”

Ajay and Pam Uppal have opened Cuisine of India on the strip in Cranbrook.

Dawn’s

A family business is welcoming Cranbrook diners to experience delicious Indian cuisine.

Pam and Ajay Uppal opened their restaurant, Cuisine of India, on Saturday, July 12. It’s located opposite the Prestige on Highway 3/95 in Cranbrook.

Pam manages the restaurant, while her husband Ajay is the chef.

They are both originally from India, and Ajay began his culinary career in Seattle at age 17. He worked there for 10 years, before moving to Vancouver.

The couple opened their first restaurant in Castlegar in September 2003. This restaurant, which has the same name, is a local favourite, and Pam said diners encouraged them to look at Cranbrook for another restaurant.

Home energy assessment an incoming wave Amerispec owner says a new focus on saving energy is increasing in importance Barry Coulter Townsman Staff

With a growing interest in energy efficiency among homeowners and builders, the area of energy assessment is just starting to take off.

Sean Swinwood, owner/operator of Amerispec of Southeast BC, sees the area of energy assessment as not only a growth industry, particularly with older homes and homeowners looking to renovate.

But the time is coming soon when energy efficiency ratings could be written into provincial building codes.

Swinwood was a certified energy advisor, employed by Amerispec, until he took over the busi-

ness in 2013.

“I’ve done hundreds of energy asssessments in the East Kootenay area,” Swinwood said. “I’ve helped homeowners receive provincial and federal rebates to help make their homes more energy efficient.”

Swinwood said the current program, which is in effect until March 31, 2015, is called the HERO program (Home Energy Rebate Offering), and is administered by BC Hydro and Fortis BC. Following this program, Swinwood conducts a pre- and post-energy assessment (before renovations and after) of a particular property. At each stage, the property owner receives a rating, from

Amerispec’s Sean Swinwood performs home energy assessments in Cranbrook. one to 100, on an energy efficiency scale set by Natural Resources Canada.

“The energy assessment tells you two things,” Swinwood said, “where your home rates on the energuide scale, and a full report detailing how you can save energy.”

There are also rebates available from the HERO program depending on the upgrades that are made.

The aassessment also includes an air leakage test, which tells you how much heat you could be losing out of your “building envelope” in the winter. Discussions about insulation upgrades, space heating, and other energy savings strategies are also part of the assessment.

This information is a great value, Swinwood said, and of growing importance, especially as concerns the value it can add to your house.

“Knowing that information, the

leakage, the rating on the scale, knowing how you can improve your rating, is very valuable information, especially when it comes to saving on your energy bills, and when it comes to to selling your house.”

And the building industry is only recently starting to come onstream, Swinwood said.

“There will be new aspects of the B.C. Building Code that take energy ratings into account,” he said. “There may be a time in the near future where energy efficiency standards are made part of the building code.”

Amerispec also offered standard home inspection for potential purchasers of a property. And the company has a partner relationship with other companies and organizations, such as the Brick, Aeroplan and Habitat for Humanity.

City blows through annual pothole budget in six months Continued from page 1 Coun. Sharon Cross asked where the extra funds for pothole fixing would come from.

Staudt said it would likely come from the Accumulative Surplus at this point.

“I know we struggle with ‘should we spend all this accumulative surplus and surplus that we gain in a year?’” he said.

“It’s important to

hang on to that so that we have some money available to address these very important issues that we can’t see in February when we’re dealing with the budget.

Here we are in July and we see these kinds of problems.”

He noted that there is another problem near 4th Street and 15th Avenue where the creek has washed out part of the

road.

“It’s basically collapsed and it’s going to be a fairly big expenditure that we didn’t see coming at us,” he said, “and all the issues we’ve been dealing with at Elizabeth Lake that we didn’t see coming at us when we finalized our budget in February.”

He said it is tempting to spend at budget time, but that’s why they have it.

Wildfires dying down in parts of B.C. thanks to cool weather C anadian Press

WEST KELOWNA, B.C. — About 2,400 of the 2,500 people displaced by a wildfire near West Kelowna, B.C. are being allowed back into their homes.

Kelly Kay of the Central Okanagan Regional District Emergency Operations Centre says authorities will be discussing the possibility of allowing the estimated 100 people still under an evacuation order back in their homes.

Tracy Wynnyk of the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch says the cooler weather and higher humidity has allowed firefighters to

contain 50 per cent of the blaze, up from about 30 per cent on Saturday.

While winds on Saturday evening were a concern, the gusts did not advance the 2.6-square-kilometre blaze past containment lines.

Cooler weather and rainfall in parts of British Columbia have helped to quell wildfires across the province, but some areas in the southern and central interior are still facing an extreme danger rating.

Navi Saini, another spokeswoman for the branch, says there were

six new fire starts Saturday and one Sunday morning.

She says the weekend, though, has been “relatively quiet,’’ so the department is hopeful the 151 active fires are diminishing in number and magnitude.

An extreme danger rating indicates a “very serious’’ fire risk where new fires start and spread easily.

Saini adds that in general, the danger rating across B.C. has decreased.

She says there are more than 1,300 firefighters working across the province.

A Montreal man stopped in Cranbrook last week during his cross-Canada trek in the name of peace. Normand Schmidt started walking from Vancouver on April 23 and hopes to make it to Montreal this year. His journey through B.C. has taken longer than he expected, he said, because the people of B.C. are so nice and he ends up stopping to talk to people. Schmidt said he decided to dedicate his life to walking to promote peace after watching a film about the Rwandan genocide. He wants to encourage peace between countries, within countries, within communities and even within families.

Local NEWS A Bug’s Life

Bugs ‘given the Lance Armstrong treatment’ at lagoons

In part two of a three-part series on how Cranbrook turns sewage into water, we learn how the city turbo-charges microorganisms Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

When you flush the toilet or drain water from your sink, pipes carry the messy debris from your home to Cranbrook’s wastewater lagoons on the northern edge of town.

Here, Cranbrook Public Works staff prepare the wastewater to be digested by billions of tiny bugs. First, anything that floats – grease and fats, mostly – is siphoned off, then anything solid – flushable wipes, last night’s leftovers you put down the garborator – is lifted out.

What’s left is an appetizing buffet for microorganisms, explains Cranbrook Director of Public Works Joe McGowan, who has me perched on the edge of a sewage lagoon in the name of research.

Once the wastewater has been cleared of floating inorganics and

solids that don’t belong, it flows into the first of three wastewater lagoons. This is where those bugs get to work.

“You flush, the lumpy comes down, and 8 billion bugs consume the organic material,” McGowan summarized.

There are two types of bugs that live in the lagoons: aerobic microorganisms, and anaerobic microorganisms.

The first kind, aerobic microorganisms, are the useful ones. Energetic and hardworking, they’re the ones that feed on organic material, and the city creates conditions in the lagoons that will breed and nurture these kinds of bugs. They consume body waste and food waste, while dirt – which comes off you in the shower and your clothes in the washer – sinks to the bottom of the pond.

Anaerobic microorganisms are less helpful

Three wastewater lagoons each harbour a unique collection of microorganisms that break down Cranbrook’s organic material.

– they produce carbon dioxide and sulphates, and they are responsible for making the lagoons smell sometimes.

Fortunately, there’s a surefire way to encourage aerobic bugs, while stopping the anaerobic bugs in their tracks: oxygen. Anaerobic microorganisms don’t like it; while aerobic bugs thrive on it.

“When bugs are working, like you and I they need oxygen,” said McGowan. “As the bug eats the organic material, it consumes oxygen.

That is taken out of the water and the water becomes devoid of oxygen, so the bugs die.”

To stop them from dying off, the city pumps oxygen into the lagoons.

A series of pipes about 30 feet apart contain

nozzles about 20 feet apart that are on the end of diffusers lowered five feet into the water – almost at the bottom of the pond.

These diffusers take a large volume of air and break it into bubbles.

“We shear the air so there are billions of little tiny bubbles every second,” said McGowan.

Because the bugs are small, the bubbles need to be small. And then the aerobic microorganisms really start to party.

“It has the same affect on aerobic bacteria

The company is planning to spend $1.4 billion on the transmission and distribution.

Last year BC Hydro spent $1.4 billion as well — the year before it was $1.2 billion.

“We have a 10 year, $10 billion capital plan,” he said.

He said they are seeing load growth throughout the province. Some areas of the province are growing at different paces.

“We’ve done a lot of investment here in the East Kootenays in the last five years,” he said.

“We’ve invested about $200 million in the distribution system here in the last five years.”

as blood doping did on Lance Armstrong,” said McGowan.

“We take mediocre performing microorganisms and give them the Lance Armstrong treatment. As a result, they perform a lot better.”

The helpful bugs also like sunlight – which is why the ponds are only six feet deep, and why this kind of wastewater system prospers best in sunny climates.

Cranbrook, as we know, is the sunniest city in B.C., and this is another case where that

works in our favour.

We’re also helped by the natural geography of the city, which for the most part has a gentle slope so everything runs downhill from south to north.

What’s more, when the lagoons were built in 1973, the city used a large piece of property.

That means that Cranbrook can simplify its wastewater system by using three ponds and breeding the bugs inside the ponds, rather than circling them back into the wastewater as it arrives, as the City of

Kimberley needs to do.

In Cranbrook, there’s no chemical treatment of the wastewater at the lagoons.

“All we are using is hard-working bugs,” said McGowan.

“We’ve gone back to basics – we are using basic scientific concepts. We are able to do it because we have the land area.”

See tomorrow’s Townsman for the conclusion of A Bug’s Life, a feature on Cranbrook’s hardest working employees.

Hydro to replace 250 poles in Cranbrook, be patient with outages Continued from page 1 area.

The Columbia Valley transmission project, which is a transmission line between Invermere and Golden, was completed in 2013.

Hydro has also done substantial upgrades to some of the substations in Cranbrook, Golden and Radium.

He said one of the important measures they look to as a transmission and distribution business group is BC Hydro’s system reliability.

“So how reliable is our system for our customers, what’s our customer experience?” he said.

The reliability numbers for Cranbrook are quite good, he said.

“They’re better than our system average, so our system is performing pretty well here.”

He said the system has about 10 years worth of growth left on the system in this area.

“So as economic development takes hold and more development happens we’ll be able to meet that development fairly easily,” he said.

Reimer also mentioned Powerex, a subsidiary of BC Hydro that trades in surplus energy with Alberta. A 500 kV link passes near Cranbrook.

“The profits from that are used to lower electricity prices for our customers in B.C.,” he said.

BC Hydro is also replacing power poles.

“We’ve got an active program with test and treat,” he said.

“This last year we replaced 12,000 poles throughout British Columbia. I believe in the Cranbrook area we’re going to replace 250 poles this year.”

He noted the cost to replace 250 poles is about $2 million and usually necessitates power outages.

“We just ask that our customers are aware that we’re taking maintenance outages in order to keep the system running when we need the system to run,” he said.

Reimer added that the company works with customers in local communities to give adequate notice about the outages.

Relationship woes and what the future holds

Good morning, Wendy: I was wondering if you would do a “spec” on a fellow I have met recently. He seems nice enough. Do you see us being compatible? Is he Mr. Right?

Thank you very much for all the help you and your guides have given me in the past. I really appreciate your words of guidance and insight.

Feeling Hopeful

we do not feel he is Mr. Right for you. However, I always tell everyone that this does not mean that you should not go out with him if you wish.

This means that now you are forewarned; you can discover if what we have told you about him is correct. This means that you do not get involved emotionally, however just observe and be aware and learn that who you are choosing or are attracted to is not positive.

This means you need to do a little more work on yourself to be attracted and to attract the right kind of man you want in your life.

Wendy

Dear Feeling Hopeful: We thank you for the first and last name of this man you are interested in pursuing a relationship with. This will help us do a proper and accurate ASK WENDY Hi Wendy: “spec” on him as you have Wendy Just sending you a short requested.

Evano email to let you know that We do not feel he is an what you told me about my alcoholic. He does do street boyfriend’s job has come drugs. He does cheat on the women he goes out with. He does lie to the true. He is so happy that he is moving out of his hometown and getting this new, women he goes out with.

He is only capable of short-term rela- challenging promotion for the company tionships with women, not long-term rela- he works for.

I would like to ask you if you see me tionships with women.

He is quite moody and he is not a verbal moving to where he will be living this year.

He told me that he wants me to quit my job abuser.

I then asked my guides if you would be and move away with him.

We are also thinking of getting engaged able to have a compatible relationship and I want to know if this will happen in with this man and the answer was no.

Given this information from my guides, 2014 as well. I am kind of nervous quitting

my job and about our money situation.

Feeling Elated but Deflated Dear Feeling Elated but Deflated: Yes, my guides and I see you moving with your boyfriend this year. Yes, I also see you announcing your engagement around Christmas time of this year.

We did a two-year “spec” on your money situation and we did not find anything that would hinder you from moving away with your boyfriend whenever you want.

Did you notice I am saying whenever you want? This means if you don’t feel comfortable to quit your job just yet then don’t do it. Always trust your gut feelings like I have said in letter after letter to people.

We feel your boyfriend is a good, honest man and he is sincere in his feelings for you. He is not the type of guy to have separate bank accounts and watch his pennies.

He is an easygoing fellow and a fair man when it comes to you and his family and friends.

I wish you luck and God speed.

Label rules take effect soon for mechanically tenderized beef Rob Drinkwater Canadian Press

EDMONTON — Canadian shoppers will be able to see next month if the beef they’re buying has been mechanically tenderized.

Labelling regulations to take effect Aug. 21 are designed to protect consumers after the largest meat recall in the country’s history two years ago.

Health Canada says beef that has been mechanically

tenderized must have a sticker saying that.

Packaged steaks must also have cooking instructions that the meat must reach an internal temperature of 63 C and must be turned at least twice.

Health Canada says the rules are meant to ensure that tenderized meat is labelled from the processor to the consumer, since it’s hard to tell just by looking at it.

Mechanical tenderizing is a

process for tougher cuts of meat where needles or blades are used to penetrate or pierce the surface, or to inject the meat with a marinade or tenderizing solution.

While it makes the meat more tender, it can also inject E. coli bacteria that may be on the surface of the meat into the centre. That makes the bacteria harder to kill when cooking.

Federal officials began looking at issues surrounding me-

chanically tenderized meat after a massive E.-coli-related beef recall from Alberta’s XL Foods in 2012.

The plant was shut down for about a month when E. coli was found in processed beef.

Eighteen people fell ill after eating meat linked to the plant.

The labels will appear in supermarket meat coolers at a point in the summer when barbecue season has already been sizzling for some time.

“Any weapons there?” asks Greek. “None at all. Civilian things. Medical stuff, towels, toilet paper,” says Demon. “Any documents?” asks Greek. And Demon, finally realising what must have happened, replies: “Yes. From an Indonesian student. From Thompson University.”

It’s probably not Thompson University, which is an entirely online institution in the United States. It’s almost certainly Thompson Rivers University, in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, which has a student exchange agreement with the International Islamic Education Council (IIEC) in Indonesia.

And there’s no way, without access to the crash site and with only a few hours to do the job, that the Ukrainian intelligence service could have come up with that kind of detail to put into a fake recording. It’s genuine. The rebels did it.

Russia didn’t want the Cossacks at Chernunkhino to shoot down a civilian airliner, but it has been giving the rebels heavy weapons while strenuously denying it. It has been caught red-handed, and hundreds have died. This is indeed a game-changer – but in which direction?

One option would be for Moscow to admit it, apologise

whole-heartedly, and abandon its clients in eastern Ukraine.

That is unlikely to happen. As President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday, “This tragedy would not have occurred if there were peace in that country, or in any case, if hostilities had not resumed in southeast Ukraine. And certainly, the government over whose territory it occurred is responsible for this terrible tragedy.”

In other words, yeah, we gave the rebels the weapons, and they used them to shoot down the airliner, but the whole thing wouldn’t have happened if the Ukrainian government had just given in to the rebels. So it’s really Kiev’s fault, not ours.

The signs are clear: Russia is going to brazen it out, and go on supplying the separatist rebels with weapons. The Western Europeans have been trying to look the other way (although the United States did impose some extra sanctions this week), but they can’t look away after this. Western sanctions against Russia are going to go up quickly and steeply now. It’s already ugly, and it’s going to get even uglier.

McIlroy wins British Open DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO

Jake Bromley of the Cranbrook Bandits scores a run, along with teammate Cedar Kemp on the same play, during a game against the Medicine Hat Majestics at Confederation Park on Sunday.

Bandits sweep series with Medicine Hat TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Bandits saved the best for last.

The team won their final three games on their home field at Confederation Park this weekend, completing a sweep over the Medicine Hat Majestics.

“Wen needed to start hitting the ball a bit better, we didn’t have that many hits yesterday [Saturday], but today, we really started hitting the ball better,” said head coach Paul Mrazek.

“A lot line shots, but because of the wind, they turned into easy fly balls, but our kids are starting to hit on the ground and on a line again.”

Those hits translated into runs, as the Bandits outscored their opponents 18-7 over the three games.

Though the team had a commanding 9-3 lead already on Sunday afternoon, Devon Marra hit a home run in the sixth inning as the Bandits romped to a 10-3 win.

“We just wanted to get the game over with, get one more run and get out of here,” said

Marra. “But we couldn’t really do it till the last inning.”

Marra was a dual threat on the mound as well, throwing two strikeouts and two walks in four innings. Daniel Mercandelli came in relief, pitching one walk and giving up only one run.

The bats went to work, with 11 hits at the plate. Robert Nickell, Cedar Kemp and Marra all had a pair of RBI’s, while Tyler Thorn, Brandon Ouilette and Caden McCormack had RBI singles.

Connor Armstrong scored first after stealing second base, Ouilette came home on a sacrifice fly, and Marra made it across home plate after a hit from Kemp.

Armstrong scored again in the fourth, and the Bandits went up 9-0 after the fourth inning.

Holding the Majestics scoreless for four innings was a direct result of strong defensive teamwork.

“We’re making the routine plays,” said Mrazek. “We were getting lots of ground balls, getting lots of fly balls and making the routine plays.”

With the bases loaded in the fifth, Medicine Hat finally scored when Marra walked a batter.

The Majestics added another run by the end of the inning.

Mercandelli hit the mound in the sixth, and Medicine Hat got their final run of the game on a sacrifice fly.

It was the largest margin of victory all weekend, as the team made a comeback earlier in the day to win 5-4.

The Bandits kicked off the series on Saturday with a 3-0 win.

The Majestics found themselves up 4-1 after the fourth inning, but the Bandits scored in the sixth and added three runs in the seventh to complete the

comeback.

Noah Renette pitched three innings, while Tyler Thorn and Cedar Kemp both handled two each. Collectively, they allowed six hits with four walks and one strikeout.

Cranbrook initially had the lead after Marra scored on a sacrifice fly from Kemp, but the Majestics came back, earning four runs in two consecutive innings.

Marra scored again in the sixth to make it a two-run deficit, and the Bandits came up big in the final inning. Armstrong, McCormack and Ouilette all came home to edge out the win.

The Bandits opened their set with a 3-0 win on Saturday afternoon.

Armstrong and McCormack opened the scoring in the third inning, as both stole home base to go up 2-0. Jake Bromley hit an RBI single to score Kemp in the sixth inning to seal up the win.

Armstrong pitched six innings, throwing four strikeouts and four walks, allowing five hits without any runs. Marra came in for relief for one inning.

“It was good to start yesterday [Saturday] with Connor Armstrong on the mound,” said Mrazek. “He hadn’t been with us for a couple weeks, so it was good to get him on the mound before we head down to Hamilton for the districts.”

Stempniak signs with Rangers C ANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK - The Rangers and veteran forward Lee Stempniak have agreed to terms on a one-year contract.

The deal with the 31-year-old Stempniak was announced on Saturday. In 73 regular-season games last season with Calgary and Pittsburgh, Stempniak had 12 goals and 22 assists.

During the playoffs with Pittsburgh, Stempniak had two goals and three points in 13 games.

In 637 career NHL games with St. Louis, Toronto, Phoenix, Calgary, and Pittsburgh, Stempniak has 150 goals and 191 assists. He has scored at least 14 goals in six of his nine seasons and reached 40 points three times.

Stempniak will earn $900,000 next season. That gives the Rangers about $12 million in salary cap space to sign restricted free agent forwards Derick Brassard, Mats Zuccarello, and Chris Kreider, and defenceman John Moore.

HOYLAKE, England - Rory McIlroy had to work a little harder, sweat a little more. No matter. Just like his other two majors, this British Open was never really in doubt.

Staked to a six-shot lead going into the final round, McIlroy turned back brief challenges with key birdies around the turn and a majestic drive at just the right moment to close with a 1-under 71 and complete a wire-to-wire victory at Royal Liverpool.

In another major lacking drama over the final hour, what brought the British Open to life was the potential of its champion.

McIlroy won the U.S. Open by eight shots. He won the PGA Championship by eight shots.

And with his twoshot victory over Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler, the 25-year-old from Northern Ireland joined some elite company beyond the names on that silver claret jug. Jack Nicklaus (23) and Tiger Woods (24) are the only other players since 1934

to win three majors before age 25.

Boy Wonder is back.

Or maybe he’s just getting started again.

“I’ve really found my passion again for golf,” McIlroy said. “Not that it ever dwindled, but it’s what I think about when I get up in the morning.

It’s what I think about when I go to bed. I just want to be the best golfer that I can be. And I know if I can do that, then trophies like this are within my capability.”

McIlroy put an end to this major with a powerful drive down the fairway at the par-5 16th, setting up a two-putt birdie to restore his lead to three shots. He finished with two pars, the last putt from inches away.

McIlroy simply smiled, shared hugs with his caddie and Fowler, and then waved mother Rosie onto the green. She was not at the other two majors he won. He turned and applauded the fans in the horseshoe arena around the 18th green, and then returned to collect the oldest trophy in golf.

Jays GM looking at trade options NEIL DAVIDSON Canadian Press

TORONTO - Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos says he is looking to add to the Blue Jays by trade but danced around the issue of whether he can add payroll in the process.

Can you take on additional salary, he was asked?

“We can add players,” Anthopoulos, who doubles as senior vice-president of baseball operations, said prior to Sunday’s game against Texas. “We have the ability to have dialogue at any time. I don’t see any reason why we won’t be able to add players. And obviously players make money. No one plays for free.”

He declined to get into specifics when

asked if it was dollar in, dollar out.

“Those are things we keep in house,” he said.

Toronto’s current payroll is reportedly around US$137 million.

The issue of whether the Jays had hit the salary ceiling has been raised since the pre-season when free agent pitcher Elvis Santana chose Atlanta over Toronto amidst reports that several Jays players had offered to restructure their contracts to find the funds to sign Santana.

“I think we have enough resources to do what we need to do,” Anthopoulos said. “I think there’s ways we can be creative. I don’t have any doubt that we have the ability to add players. How that gets done, obviously we can always be creative.”

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could be making an expenditure more difficult than it needs to be. The other party involved is not likely to back off right now. If you relax and restart this conversation later in the day, you could witness a new and surprising change. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Use the morning to make a point. Sometimes you try to be subtle, and it doesn’t work.

Then you might stomp around to make your point clear. Isn’t there some middle ground that would work better? Deal with a money matter in the evening. Tonight: Balance your checkbook.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Lie low, especially with regard to a money discussion. The final word might not be decided yet, and there could be substantial changes ahead. On the other hand, you will be far more buoyant in the evening. Others will go along with your ideas more easily then. Tonight: A fun hap-

pening.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You hear what your friends say, and you’re likely to incorporate their thoughts into your plans.

Take the afternoon off from trying to get a general consensus on what you feel is an important matter. Doing nothing draws very strong results. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be willing to take a stand. You will need to let your instincts guide you in certain circumstances. Otherwise, you could be subject to a misrepresentation. The unexpected remains a theme when dealing with others. Understand that everything could change quickly. Tonight: Join a friend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) News could come in from a distance. You’ll have a lot of different ideas, but if you pull back and look at the situation from an outside perspective, you will be likely to come to a conclusion that surprises you. Make room for the unexpected. Tonight: Make it a late night.

Tundra

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) An associate will give you conservative yet significant feedback. What you do with it is up to you. You even might want to sit on this information for a day or so. A call from someone will open doors quickly, which could put you in a different mindset.

Tonight: Be present.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to others, and see what develops. You will want to open up a discussion later today. A child or new friend is likely to surprise you. Kick back and enjoy the moment. Let your imagination take you to new heights.

Tonight: Be direct with a partner or loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll start the day in the right frame of mind. Make appointments, decide on your plans and figure out whether a new exercise program will be helpful. A family member could be reactive. Tonight: Listen to others as they share their war stories of the day!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creativity will come for-

ward. The most unexpected developments could put you back to square one. You might need to rethink an important decision. A conversation with someone you see daily will give you considerable insight. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) It might take a lot for you to get going, but a surprise or unexpected development will energize you. One of the issues around you involves your finances and a change. Do what is best for you. Listen to news with an open mind. Tonight: Wherever you are, use your imagination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could feel as if you have no control over a difficult situation.

Lie low, and try to understand what someone wants from you.

You suddenly might decide to reverse course. Expect this decision to trigger some shockwaves.

Tonight: Out and about.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My significant other of 20 years is a great guy, and he’s been wonderful to me. Here’s the problem: “Bob” has an 11-year-old autistic grandson. Every time we have taken “Russell” on vacation with us, it hasn’t exactly been relaxing. I am 62 years old and work a difficult full-time job. I’d like a real vacation instead of babysitting a child with special needs. I have offered to take Russell on the weekends, but he says that isn’t good enough.

Here’s the kicker: Russell lives nearby, and Bob can see him anytime all year round, but won’t visit at all. Yet in the past 10 months, Bob has taken several short trips with his friends, mostly to go fishing.

These two weeks are my only vacation, and frankly, I am not up to having Russell the entire time. My daughter says I should be more compassionate and would feel differently if this were her child instead of Bob’s grandson. Am I being selfish? -- Can’t Handle It Again Dear Can’t: No, although we understand why your daughter wants you to be more compassionate. It bothers us that Bob won’t spend time with his grandson unless you are around to take care of the boy. This is unfair to you, making your vacation another “job.”

It is also unfair to Russell and his parents, who undoubtedly resent that Grandpa isn’t willing to visit during the year.

Your offer to take Russell on weekends is kind, and we think Bob should take you up on it. So here’s the compromise: You have two weeks of vacation. Spend one week relaxing, and take Russell for the other. If Bob insists on taking him for two weeks, we recommend you spend one week on your own and let Bob learn how to deal with his grandson until you get there. And then take the boy on an occasional weekend so he spends more quality time with his grandfather.

Dear Annie: I had to chuckle when I read the letter from “Fluffy’s Competition,” because my husband told me I loved our Jack Russell terrier more than I did him. My response was that I loved her, but it was a different type of love. She has since died, and we have another Jack Russell, and she is my husband’s little girl. He now knows how much you can love a pet, and it is completely different. Oh, by the way, we just celebrated our 46th anniversary. -- R. Dear R.: We heard from a great many animal lovers. Here’s a short sample: From Florida: I lived the same situation for 18 years with my beloved husband and his cat, Tom-Tom. He loved his cat so much.

For years, they lay side by side, each suffering and dying from cancer. I always said, “If I gave my husband a choice of me or the cat, you know who would have to go. And it would not be the cat!” They lived out their lives together and are together in heaven.

My message to the wife is to love the cat as you do your husband. If you have love in your life, you have everything.

Arizona: Wait a minute. This woman knew he had Fluffy when she married him and how he felt about her. Did she think he would get rid of the cat? It seems to me she is the one with the problem. Has she ever tried to be friends with Fluffy? Perhaps he is spending time in the bathroom with Fluffy because his wife is ignoring her. We have had six cats in our married life, but we loved them all. Perhaps Fluffy needs to be treated like a family member and not as an unwanted guest.

continue to turn to DAILY NEWSPAPERS for breaking news, analysis of the day’s top events and entertaining content, according to the latest NADbank data.

“Increased media competition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of GenesisVizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. “Daily newspapers offer the same benefits they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.”
