Townsman: 250-426-5201 Bulletin: 250-427-5333

Calling all volunteers! The Cranbrook International Airshow (a new Not for Profit organization) is looking for volunteers to join the team bringing an airshow back to the Cranbrook area.

The first Airshow inaugural meeting is set for October 8, 2014, at 7 p.m. at the Airport Fire Hall (9370 Airport Access Rd, Cranbrook).

Volunteers will learn about what it takes to get involved, and available opportunities to join the airshow team.

Darrell Garton, who is helping organizing the airshow, is inviting the public to attend the first inaugural meeting to get involved, have fun and give back to the community.

“We’re looking at bringing an airshow back on a two-year term, starting in 2016,” Garton told the Townsman in an earlier interview.

“We’re proposing a two-day event, with a twilight show in the evening, with the planes doing the fireworks — that kind of thing. Abbottsford just ran their first twilight show this year, and it went over really well. So this is what we’ve been trying

to plan for you guys.

Fireworks over the mountains, that kind of thing. It should be pretty exciting.”

Garton said that as a not for profit society, if the airshow makes money, all the funds go to pay the bills, with a little bit of reserve in the bank. “Any remaining funds go back to the city — so it will go towards the Air Cadets, the Boys and Girls Club, any of those groups who help out with the event will get some back. So the society doesn’t keep any funds, at the end of the day,” Garton said.

The Cranbrook International Airshow has been working with the support of the City of Cranbrook and the Canadian Rockies International Airport.

“We’ve been in the planning stage, with the City of Cranbrook and the Airport,” Garton said. “We want to get local people involved.

We want to get people coming out who are interested, who want to be on the board, be on the committee, and get input. What people want to see, what people expect.

For more information, please contact cranbrookairshow@ gmail.com .

Correction

The Cranbrook Townsman wishes to apologize to municipal election candidate Norma Blissett for spelling her last name wrong in the headline of Thursday, Oct. 2, “Blissett Aims For Council.”

Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, the last ‘T’ was dropped from “Blissett.” The Townsman aims to spell all names correctly, not just during an election campaign. They are your names, after all.

In an Oct. 6 Canadian Press story about Canada’s proposed mission in Iraq, The Canadian Press reported that the cost of the 2011 bombing campaign in Libya was $350 million.

In fact, that mission’s incremental cost the amount of money the department spends that is over and above what normal expenditures would be without the mission was $103.6 million.

Police seek dangerous driver From Page 1 There was concern for public safety with a high speed chase and police were aware that there were a lot of people in the Platzl area for Oktoberfest.

“The vehicle continued to speed off and proceeded to make a right turn from Ross Street onto Wallinger Avenue toward the Platzl at high rate of speed, barely negotiating the corner,” Newel said.

“Tire tracks located at the intersection indicate the vehicle travelled through the south bound left turning lane and into the through south bound lane before correcting and heading up to Townsite. Police conducted extensive patrols of Townsite but were unable to locate the vehicle.”

Police later located the vehicle (with a damaged front bumper) at the owner’s residence, but he had been away and was unaware of what had taken place, Newel says.

“It wasn’t reported stolen, the owner was not aware of what had taken place, other than he noted the damage, until he talked to the police,” said Newel.

If you can assist with identifying the driver of the vehicle, please contact the Kimberley RCMP at 250-427-4811 or call Crimestoppers.

LNG promises walked back, MLA says From Page 1 “I said during the election campaign that those promises were likely removed from reality, a misrepresentation of the reality of opportunities available. There is opportunity but it needs to be put in the perspective of what is real.”

According to the provincial government website, LNG is natural gas chilled to -160 degrees Celsius so that it can be converted into a liquid form. After it has been liquefied, natural gas is compressed so it takes up much less space – approximately 1/600th less than natural gas.

Some of the world’s most promising areas for LNG, also referred to as shale gas, are in northeast B.C. “The Province manages industry’s access to natural gas on behalf of British Columbians, who actually own the rights to the resource. As a result, the Province collects a portion of revenues from the natural gas industry – known as royalty payments. In turn, the Province uses the revenue to help fund vital programs and services in health care, education, infrastructure development and more,” says information on the website. “As an entirely new industry, LNG creates an opportunity for the provincial government to collect additional revenue and secure a

brighter economic future for our province.”

However, Macdonald says the BC Liberals overpromised on just what those royalties may be, and are now scrambling to walk those promises back because the large multi-national energy companies involved don’t like what they have seen.

“The government has put themselves in a real spot with promises made. The companies they are dealing with know the BC Liberals over-promised. We are hearing that the tax royalty structure has been presented and the companies are pushing back.”

Proof of that will come with the introduction of legislation this week, Macdonald says.

“We are hearing that bill dealing with royalties and taxes, which we expected today (Tuesday) may not come until the end of the month. They’ve had a year.

If it doesn’t come this week, there is only one reason to push it back.

They are re-writing it.”

Bill Bennett, Minister of Mines and Energy and MLA for Kootenay East to the south says: “The reason we’re having a fall session is to deal with two components of LNG. One, the taxation—how are we going to deal with our commitment to the people of the province that we’re not going to have this industry

unless British Columbians actually benefit from it?

“And so that’s one of the things we’re going to deal with in this session, is the taxation aspect of it. So we just signed a five-year deal with teachers that has an increase, there’s demands on health care, there’s demands on infrastructure, highways, local governments all want more money—there’s always huge demand on the province. One of the new ways we can increase our revenue, obviously, is through a new industry like LNG. “The second component that we’re dealing with this session that relates to LNG is what we’re going to do about the greenhouse gas emissions, not only from the LNG industry, but from all industry, so we’re also going to be passing legislation that deals with greenhouse gas emissions and that’ll cover off the LNG industry and all other industry as well.

“That’s the two components of the legislative session that’s coming up and that was a big focus of the throne speech.

More at a higher level, I think the throne speech made a commitment to British Columbians that we’re not going to take our eye off the ball in terms of a commitment to balancing the budget and making sure we don’t spend more than what we bring in.

Danger still present as fire season winds up Tre vor Cr awley Townsman Staff

Fire season is all but over, but conditions are still dry enough to be a danger, according to a fire information officer for the Southeast Fire Centre.

“As far as your area there, there’s still the possibility of fires starting, so we need people to be aware and keep their eyes out and phone in any smoke you see on hillsides.”

It’s been a busy season for the wildfire season in the province, with the largest amount of hectares burned in 30 years—the third worst since the province started keeping records in 1950.

Turner said that the biggest challenge was dividing fire suppression resources between major fires up in northern B.C., while keeping enough personnel and equipment for Southeast Fire Centre activity.

“We had very large wildfires and our biggest challenge here in the Southeast was a lot of our crews were needed to fight those fires up north—a lot of our personnel and support staff were needed for those fires and make sure they were kept under control.

“Of course, there were a lot of communities evacuated up there to protect those communities, so the challenge for us in the Southeast, was to work with the resources we had and make sure we had everything covered here.

Columbia Basin Trust revenue to grow

CBT will engage with communities to discuss funding priorities TRE VOR CR AWLEY Townsman Staff

The Columbia Basin Trust is expecting to almost double their revenue over the next four years and will be engaging with communities in the region to discuss funding priorities, according to Neil Muth, president and CEO of the CBT. In a meeting with the RDEK board of directors last Friday morning, Muth gave a CBT year in review presentation that highlighted the new boost in revenue, which is being generated mostly due to expansions in power projects.

“Our revenue is going to double from about $27 million to $55 million,” said Muth. “We have a high degree of certainty about that because of the investments in the

power projects. The power produced is sold under long-term contracts so short of a unanticipated outage at one of the plants, the revenue is not piein-the-sky dreams.”

This past year, the CBT handed out $22 million in funding across the Basin, ranging from community, economic, water and environment, social, broadband and youth initiatives.

Specifically within the jurisdiction of the RDEK, a few projects that received CBT funding included hall renovations at Akisqnuk, Wilmer, Hosmer and Baynes Lake; avalanche transceiver training facility and staffing costs for an East Kootenay community energy manager through the community development program.

Other funding included youth grants for air cadets and social grants for EK child care needs assessment.

“In addition to our work with geographic communities, we have four specific strategic plans that govern our

work in what we refer to as our sector areas, so the environment, economic, social and our work in our youth initiatives,” added Muth.

“We establish goals under each strategic plans and those plans are developed through extensive consultation processes with residents throughout the basin.”

Next year will be a big year for the CBT, which will mark it’s 20th anniversary. The CBT has grown to roughly 45 staff in four offices across the region since it’s inception and has a $686.4 million investment value—80 per cent of which comes from power projects such as Waneta Expansion, Arrow Lakes, the Brilliant Dam, and the Brilliant Expansion.

Along with the 20th anniversary and the projected revenue increase, it’s time for review the Basin’s management plan, which is updated every four or five years, according to Muth.

“It will be the deepest engagement that Columbia Basin Trust

Danger still present as fire season winds up From Page 4 “It didn’t pose any major issues for us, but that was kind of the biggest challenge here, as far as the fire season.”

Provincially, there were 1,424 fires that burned roughly 3,590 square kilometres, according to Kevin Skrepnek, the chief provincial fire information officer.

“When you look at the statistics in terms of the number of fires we’ve had, we’ve had a little over 1,400— 1,424—that’s actually below average in terms of the number of fires. So what we saw this year was a below average number of fires, but in terms of the area burned, quite above normal.”

In the Southeast Fire Centre, there was 228 lightning-caused fires and 55 person-caused fires that burned a total of 6,633 hectares. In the Cranbrook area, there were 21 lightning-caused fires and 22 person-caused fires that burned 223 hectares.

Much of the hectares burned in the Cranbrook area was due to prescribed burning to contain a remote fire up in the Tanglefoot region.

“Other than that, mostly through

the Cranbrook area, we had quite a lot of small fires that initial attack crews—three-person crews—got on right away and put out while they were still small,” Turner said.

The largest fire in the Southeast centre was the White Complex which included, at it’s peak, seven fires.

“They’re all contained, but it probably will continue till it snows, just because the larger fires are somewhat remote and since there is containment around them, we’re just letting them do their natural thing,” said Turner.

From a provincial standpoint, the largest fire was the Chelaslie River fire near Burns Lake that burned 1,330 square kilometres. It’s still actively burning, but roughly 75 per cent contained.

The worst two fire seasons, in terms of hectares burned, was 1958 when 8,590 square kilometres burned. Three years later, 4,830 square kilometres burned in 1961 which holds the second-worst record.

has embarked upon since we were created and will likely be the deepest, broadest engagement that we will do for a long period of time,” Muth said.

“It is labour intensive, it is financially intensive, but we’re going to get out into communities over the next year throughout the Basin in a number

of different ways to talk to them about that increased revenue and what do Basin residents want us to do with it.”

Liberals squeezed in Iraq debate MICHAEL DEN TANDT

The stronger Tom Mulcair is, the weaker Justin Trudeau looks, the better Stephen Harper does.

It’s a simple enough dynamic. It’s germinating now in the House of Commons, as MPs wrangle over how to best respond to the threat posed by the Islamic State. It’s something the Liberals, front-runners since the spring of 2013, would be wise to pay greater attention to. This Iraq debate has the potential to bite them hard.

To begin, let’s run a thought experiment. Imagine there are no parties in the House of Commons, just MPs. And imagine you’re asked to assess the leading players just as political horseflesh. How do they stack up?

Of course you have the half-dozen usual suspects in the Harper cabinet who can speak persuasively without notes, and without stepping in it; John Baird, Jason Kenney, Chris Alexander, Lisa Raitt, Rona Ambrose, James Moore. You have Prime Minister Stephen Harper himself; stolid, rational, occasionally biting or dryly sardonic.

You have Elizabeth May — articulate, believable, sincere. You have Ralph Goodale, John McCallum, Joyce Murray, Scott Brison and Marc Garneau, each of whom can uncork with intelligence, and no crib sheet, when called upon. You have Justin Trudeau, who pulls off a kind of earnest, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” sincerity when he poses questions, but otherwise does not distinguish himself.

And you have Mulcair.

The NDP leader stands head and shoulders above the rest. It’s an impression one gets, not from watching the TV news, or edited clips of Question Period, but from observing the daily 45-minute exercise in

its entirety, week after week. Routinely, Mulcair is the one who shows up with an exhaustively researched question; Mulcair is the one whose sarcasm is most biting.

Mulcair, though he often looks and sounds as though he’s quietly seething, manages to convey that his fury is on behalf of the institution, which represents the people, because of the outrages being perpetrated on it, and them, by the government. It’s a style that has earned him monikers such as the grand inquisitor; the prosecutor-in-chief; and Perry Mason.

It is no surprise, then, that in the two debates in the House of Commons about the Iraq mission, one mid-last-month and another this week, it was Mulcair who dominated. And yet in the polls, as I mentioned earlier, he’s nowhere; barely into double digits, while Trudeau’s Liberals continue to float like a butterfly at 38 per cent, almost majority territory.

The core reason has to be the difference in their respective parties; specifically, the concern that the New Democrats would undo the Harper government’s economic program, with which Canadians are broadly comfortable, and engage in a frenzy of expensive and ultimately doomed social engineering.

The Liberal party, in other words, still has immense brand potential, due to its ability to offer stability, through the judicious theft of ideas from predecessors right or left.

The party’s difficulty, in the Iraq context, is simply that its position is incoherent, set next to those of either the Conservatives or New Democrats. There are ample reasons to question the U.S.-led aerial campaign against Islamic State. One can critique the mission from the left, saying humanitarian aid is the only moral

solution, as the NDP have done. One can critique it from the right, arguing that nothing short of total war can defeat the organized, state-level Islamo-fascism that the Islamic State presents.

What is exceedingly difficult is to argue that robust military action is necessary and can be successful, but also that Canada should have no part in it, beyond a supporting role. That’s what the Liberals have done, on and off, for several weeks.

Even more problematic, given such a nuanced stance, is that Trudeau himself has yet to fully articulate it. The first Iraq debate in the House, he skipped. In the second he ceded the lead to Marc Garneau, his foreign affairs critic, and Joyce Murray, his defence critic. Trudeau partisans will insist this is further evidence of the strong Liberal team. Nonsense. In decisions of war and peace the leader leads, or he’s not the leader.

Failing an eleventh-hour transformation in NDP policy that allows Mulcair to run on an economically responsible platform, the opposition leader is not fated to become prime minister.

But he could make some adjustments in that direction; and he could, by sheer force of personality, tear a sizable chunk out of Liberal support in vote-rich Ontario.

In doing so he’d enable the Tory candidate to squeak up the middle in many swing ridings, just as happened in 2011. The upshot? The Liberals are right now in some hot water, though the polls may not reflect this yet. Trudeau did not win his famous career-launching boxing match by relying on his team. One suspects he won’t win 24 Sussex Dr. that way either.

Regina redemption Ice hit the highway looking to turn things around after Calgary collapse

Chris Pullen Photo/cranbrookphoto.com

Kootenay Ice forward Austin Vetterl (pictured above against Regina last season) has tallied a goal and two assists through five games to start the 2014-15 season. The Ice will need players like Vetterl to step up as they play three games in three nights starting today in Regina.

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice are back on the road in search of answers after an abysmal road performance against the Calgary Hitmen Saturday.

The Ice coughed up a 4-1 lead, falling to their Eastern Conference rival 6-4. After the game, Ice head coach Ryan McGill called out his players and leadership group, questioning their willingness to follow directions, in addition to criticizing the selfish, individualistic approach of some of his skaters. In the same breath, he questioned the approach of his coaching staff, himself included.

“We have a team here that has a really hard time with following directions,” McGill said following the loss in Calgary. “You have to look no further than the coach…Obviously our teaching methods aren’t correct and we’re going to have to figure out a way to get [the players] to understand that if they follow the game plan

they will have success.”

The loss dropped the Ice to 2-3-0-0 on the season ahead of a threegame road swing that begins tonight against the Regina Pats (3-2-10). Tonight’s tilt against Regina marks the first of three games in three nights through Saskatchewan, a tough test at the best of times for any WHL club.

If the Ice are to get things on track, they’re going to have to do it without the services of two key cogs. While D Rinat Valiev has yet to suit up due to a lower-body injury, RW Jon Martin joins the Russian import on the shelf after sustaining an upper-body injury Saturday in Calgary.

After opening the season with consecutive losses to the Brandon Wheat Kings, the Pats rattled off three wins in a row, taking care of the Moose Jaw Warriors and Prince Albert Raiders (twice) before the Red Deer Rebels walked into Regina and edged the Pats in overtime Sunday evening.

After beginning the season with the Calgary Hitmen, import RW Pavel Padakin has rattled off a goal and two assists in four games since joining Regina.

The undrafted 20-yearold was acquired from the Hitmen Sept. 23 in exchange for a third-

round pick in the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft.

Between the pipes, Daniel Wapple (2-2-1-0, 3.59 GAA, .880 SP) has handled the bulk of the workload in Regina, suiting up for five of the team’s six games to start the year.

Following tonight’s contest in Regina, the Ice get right back on the road, facing the Moose Jaw Warriors (3-3-0-1) tomorrow. Kootenay’s Saskatchewan swing concludes Friday, Oct. 10 when the Ice visit the Swift Current Broncos (4-4-0-0).

Avalanche women ready to roll Strong showing in Red Deer sets up for PACWEST opener Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The College of the Rockies women’s volleyball concluded pre-season tournament play this past weekend at the iHotel Wild Rose Classic hosted by Red Deer College.

The young Avs squad squeezed out victories in three of five games played over the weekend, including two wins over Medicine Hat College and another over King’s University College.

“We’ve got rookies stepping up and taking spots,” said Avalanche women’s head coach Andrew Zurrin Tuesday afternoon. “It looks like three rookies are going to be on the floor for sure [to start the season].”

To have 50 per cent of the Avs starting lineup comprised of rookies when there are five veterans on the roster speaks to the progression of Zurrin’s young players through two weekends of pre-season play. There are nine rookies pulling on Avalanche blue for the first time this year.

The Avs opened the weekend against the host Red Deer College Queens, falling in straight sets (15-25, 9-25).

After being on the receiving end of a drubbing courtesy the host team, the Avs turned things around with a straight-sets win over

Medicine Hat College (25-16, 25-19) to round out round-robin play.

That set up for a firstround bracket match against the Lethbridge College Kodiaks, who had visited Cranbrook for Rumble in the Rockies the week prior. In Cranbrook, the Avs fell to the Kodiaks in five sets. Games at the Wild Rose Classic were limited to three sets and the Kodiaks took advantage, disposing of the Avalanche in straight sets (14-25, 24-26).

Zurrin’s squad finished the weekend in strong fashion, knocking off King’s University College in three sets (2513, 22-25, 15-6) before claiming a second straight-sets win over Medicine Hat College (25-6, 25-23).

With exhibition play in the books, the focus shifts towards the regular season, which begins Oct. 23 when the Avalanche travel to the Lower Mainland, opening the PACWEST regular season against the Columbia Bible College Bearcats.

Zurrin now has an idea as to what sort of lineup he will be starting come Oct. 23. With two weeks of practice leading up to the PACWEST opener, Zurrin and the Avs will work to create more chemistry amongst the starters in hopes of putting forth a cohesive unit against the Bearcats.

Though the squad

has yet to face any PACWEST competition, after missing out on the PACWEST conference championships in 201314, Zurrin believes the newest edition of Avalanche women has what it takes to run with the some of the conference powerhouses.

“If we play our game, I think we can stack up with every team [in PACWEST] and give them a run,” Zurrin said.

“Last year’s [Avalanche] team pushed both Camosun and VIU [Vancouver Island University] and I say we’re at least twice as good as we were last year.

“We’re going to be able to attack through the middle. As soon as we attack through the middle, we’re going to be able to free up our outsides and score. Last year, [teams] just double-blocked our outsides because they could just wait out there. They knew we weren’t attacking through the middle.”

The Vancouver Island University Mariners claimed the PACWEST title in 2013-14, before moving on to a bronze-medal finish at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) championships.

Following the Oct. 23 opener against Columbia Bible College, the Avs move on to face University of the Fraser Valley (Oct. 24 and 25) before closing the weekend against Columbia Bible College Oct. 26.

NHL returns for 2014-15 tonight Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

Vancouver Canucks Last season: 36-35-11, 83 points, fifth in Pacific Who’s gone: C Ryan Kesler, D Jason Garrison, LW David Booth, C Mike Santorelli Who’s new: G Ryan Miller, RW Radim Vrbata, C Nick Bonino, D Luca Sbisa, C Linden Vey, LW Derek Dorsett Outlook: Call 201314 the worst of times for the Canucks. Injuries hit, John Tortorella lost his mind and tried to storm the Calgary Flames’ locker-room and the season went to hell. Roberto Luongo

got traded, Mike Gillis and Tortorella got fired and a new regime took over. With president Trevor Linden, GM Jim Benning and coach Willie Desjardins in place, things should be more stable. Miller will be better facing more shots than he did in St. Louis, and Vey and Sbisa should replace Kesler just fine.

Calgary Flames Last season: 35-40-7, 77 points, sixth in Pacific Who’s gone: F Michael Cammalleri, D Chris Butler, G Joey MacDonald Who’s new: G Jonas Hiller, LW Mason Ray-

mond, RW Devin Setoguchi, D Deryk Engelland, F Brandon Bollig Outlook: Bob Hartley’s team works hard, but somebody’s got to be last. Hiller is an upgrade over last season’s goaltending, and there are pieces in place at various ages. Sean Monahan is growing, Johnny Gaudreau will be fun to watch, and, if Sam Bennett makes the team, the future will get a test drive. But it’s still rebuilding time in Calgary under president of hockey operations Brian Burke and new GM Brad Treliving. Flames’ fans will have their patience tested but won’t be ashamed of this group.

CHIMP helps Reach a Reader kick off

Desneiges Profili CBAL

Nine of 10 8th-graders meeting expectations in science, study says C anadian Press

TORONTO — A new broad-based study of most of Canada’s Grade 8 students suggests the vast majority take a solid grasp of science with them into their high school years.

The Pan-Canadian Assessment Program, administered every three years by a group representing provincial education ministers, looks at academic performance in reading, science and math among students in their final year of middle school.

During each cycle, the program puts its primary focus on one discipline, providing detailed statistics on that area, while offering more cursory overviews of the other two.

Tuesday’s results, which focus on science, were based on test scores from 32,000 students in all 10 provinces, but not the territories.

The test found 91 per cent of students could perform at or above the expected grade level in science. It also found average reading and math scores had risen very slightly from levels recorded in 2010.

The latest results, released by the Council of Ministers of Education Canada, mark the first time that science has come under a national microscope. Results gathered in 2007 and 2010 trained the spotlight on reading and math, respectively.

Gordon Dirks, Alberta education minister and chairman of the council of education ministers, said the latest science results bode well for Canada’s future.

“Science is such a very important domain to our country,” Dirks said in a telephone interview. “It’s a domain

that is vital to education, to economic development, to the future success of Canada. We need to ensure that our students are getting the kind of quality education in science that our country expects and requires of our various education systems.”

Dirks said the test questions were not based on any one provincial curriculum.

They were instead developed around elements common to all curricula, such as the characteristics of a sound scientific experiment.

Dirks said he was particularly encouraged by the lack of a gender gap on the science scores, which showed girls and boys performing equally well across the board.

Parity was not so easily achieved among the provinces.

Alberta and Ontario recorded the top science scores, with British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador also scoring at or above the national average. Manitoba logged the lowest scores not only in science, but in all three disciplines.

Boys and girls achieved roughly equal scores in math, but girls outperformed their male peers in average national literacy scores.

Dirks said that result is a red flag for provincial governments.

“Everybody wants to do everything that we can across the country to ensure that our teaching methods in reading are going to assist boys in the early years to get a solid start, that we do everything we can to improve boys’ motivation to read, that we get the right kind of reading materials that are going to appeal to them.”

can go online and donate to the Reach a Reader campaign through CHIMP. CHIMP is an online donations forum that was created to help manage charitable donations on behalf of organizations, families, or individuals.

Margaret Sutherland, Communications Manager with the Columbia Valley Alliance

KEY CITY THEATRE www.KEYCITYTHEATRE.com The Kootenay’s Premier Arts and Entertainment Venue

“Though exceptional mandolinist Reischman gets his name out front, this Vancouver-based folkgrass band democratically spreads the spotlight. Bassist Trisha Gagnon’s pristine voice lends itself equally well to old English ballads, Civil War soldier’s prayers and her own stirring evocations of rural life and Nick Hornbuckle’s banjo work can be downright spine-tingling.”

Ninth Annual

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Takings risks is a natural part of living to you, but not to everyone else. Others will watch you and believe they can do the same. Your life philosophy helps you with the ups and downs.

Be prepared, as someone could reach out to you for help. Tonight: Jump on an opportunity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Intuitively you will pull back, especially in stressful situations.

You aren’t ready to make a commitment right now. Others might not understand, but they probably will ask you to explain.

If you detach, you will understand much more. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have the imagination to come up with the right answers.

Pressure could come from others, as they’ll expect you to have the right solution for them. Step back and explain that you are more involved with other matters. Tonight: Act as if you don’t have a care in the world.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll demonstrate an unusual amount of precision in how you handle a money matter. You still will need to check the numbers and facts with someone you trust. Though you might want to be extravagant with a new friend or loved one, hold back.

Tonight: Head home early.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might consider taking a trip for business or personal reasons.

A change of pace could work well for you. Your intuition connects well with a partner, so listen to your gut more often when working with this person. Your creativity will come forward.

Tonight: Return calls.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with a partner directly, especially if you feel tense about a situation. You might want to air out your feelings and get feedback. There could be a misunderstanding between you and this person. Honor what is happening. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to be diplomat-

Tundra

ic, but when confronted by an unusually angry and forthright person, you’ll have a totally different reaction. A power play suddenly could emerge and make you wonder how you got into this situation. Tonight: Go with the flow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be in a situation where you could lose your temper. Use care with your finances, as a mistake easily could happen. Be more forthright with a partner who might be out of sorts. Play it low-key if you want to stay in control. Tonight: Go to the gym.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to rethink a problem rather than explode in frustration. A conversation could prove to be a necessity if you are to avoid a drama over nothing.

You’ll have strong feelings that will need to be honored. Tonight: Invite a friend to join you for dinner.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pressure is likely to build as demands come in from key areas of your life, and each request

seems to come with a sense of urgency. A close friend or loved one can and will take an enormous weight off your shoulders.

Allow this person to pitch in.

Tonight: Relax.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your words seem to spill out uncontrollably, which might make you wonder where all these ideas are coming from. You are working on many different plans and could be exhausted. A key person in your life will respond in an unexpected way. Tonight: Let off steam with a friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be concerned about a financial matter. If not, certain events might force you to look at a money situation or commitment. The possibility exists that you are unsure of yourself.

Go find someone who seems to have great knowledge on the topic. Tonight: Do not overindulge.

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My sister and I have always been close. Usually, little things are forgotten, but on two separate visits, “Susan” and her husband caused me a great deal of anxiety.

The first was three years ago, when they came in for her husband’s birthday.

I planned a party at a nice restaurant, bought gifts and made a cake. Prior to the meal, my brother-in-law and his cousin had a lot to drink. By the time they reached the restaurant, they were loud and obnoxious. Our server asked my husband to please keep the noise levels down. As soon as we got home, my brother-in-law grabbed his suitcase, said he was staying at his sister’s and stormed out. He claimed that the server should have asked him directly to pipe down instead of asking my husband.

Last year, they visited again. On the last day, they ordered in pizza. Susan asked me for something to wrap the leftovers in, and I handed her my plastic wrap. She became belligerent, saying the wrap was terrible and I should buy the type she gets.

They haven’t visited since, but when I spoke to Susan on the phone, she told me she was angry about that wrap for six months and that’s why they haven’t been back. I’m hurt by their actions. How do I deal with their hostility in the future? -Florida Dear Florida: There are two likely possibilities here: Either Susan has some medical issues that make her fixate on plastic wrap for six months, or she is covering for her husband’s drinking, which may be more serious than you know. You can gently ask her whether something else is going on and let her know you love her and miss her, or you can accept fewer visits and see them in their hometown. (And for the record, it is appropriate for a server to approach the hosts about their guests’ poor behavior, and not confront the loudmouthed drinker whose response is unpredictable.)

Dear Annie: I am a grandpa with 16 grandchildren, all of whom I love dearly.

However, I don’t particularly like four of them. They have a “you owe it to me” attitude and show absolutely no respect, not only to everyone around them, but also to themselves. That being the case, I prefer not to have them associate with me or attend any family gatherings where they demand to be the center of attention. I won’t put up with that. I will, however, focus my attention on the remaining 12. As far as I’m concerned, 12 out of 16 isn’t bad. -Grandpa in Hawaii Dear Grandpa: We understand why the behavior of those four grandchildren makes you dislike their company, but please make every effort not to let your favoritism show. And don’t give up on them.

You are in a position to teach them how to be decent, compassionate adults. Apparently, their parents aren’t up to the task, but you certainly seem capable.

Dear Annie: I can relate to “Danced Enough,” who moved in with a man who behaves badly. Five years ago. I moved in with “Jim,” who I thought loved me.

We met through dancing. When he announced that he never wanted kids, I was devastated, but our life was comfortable, and I decided the relationship was more important, so we married. Jim was pleasant, but did not really care about my feelings. He also began spending a lot of time dancing with young, single women.

Next year I will be 40. It finally hit home that I have only one life -- and this is not the one I want. I left Jim two months ago and have had an outpouring of love and support, even from those I expected would judge me harshly. The people who love you want you to be happy. -- Deserve Better Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Canada lacks vision for managing shipping traffic growth in the Arctic, audit says C anadian Press

OTTAWA — Canada lacks an overall vision for dealing with an expected growth in marine traffic in the Arctic, with outdated maps and surveys, inadequate navigational aids and icebreaking services that are stretched to the limit, the federal environment commissioner warned Tuesday.

Julie Gelfand’s audit of Transport Canada, Environment Canada and Fisheries and Oceans, which oversees the coast guard, paints a startling portrait of just how many gaps there are in the federal government’s knowledge and understanding of a region it has long claimed is a political and economic priority.

The area, despite the Harper’s government’s repeated emphasis on resource development and claims of sovereignty, has been “inadequately surveyed and

charted,” said Gelfand’s fall report. Some Arctic maps are more than 40 years old, it noted.

“This means that many charts available to mariners are not current or reliable,” Gelfand said. “The charts based on data collected through hydrographic surveys that do meet adequate or modern standards generally have a high likelihood of undetected hazards and uncertainty in position of the data.”

Growth in marine shipping in the Arctic that’s only expected to continue has meant a commensurate spike in demand for more accurate, detailed surveys and maps based on more efficient, detailed multi-beam sonar, the report said — a relatively modern-day survey technology that, even though it dates back to the 1970s, would be a significant improvement over the archaic

information currently available.

Unfortunately, the Canadian Hydrographic Service lacks the resources and the logistical capacity to adequately conduct such surveys, rhe report found.

Gelfand’s report acknowledges the challenge the CHS faces, noting it would be unreasonable to expect the entire Arctic to surveyed to modern standards.

But the high-risk, high-traffic areas, particularly near communities where vessels come in to port, should be thoroughly mapped, it said.

Shipping in the fast-melting region is expected to increase and “given the fragile environment, harsh weather conditions, limited infrastructrure, and the direct dependance of communities on those ecosystems, marine spills as a result

of shipping are considered one of the most serious threats to Arctic ecosystems,” said the report.

The report also says the Canadian Coast Guard has not responded adequately to growing demands for improved fixed navigation aids in the Arctic, such as lights, beacons and buoys.

And it says the coast guard’s capacity to provide icebreaking services is stretched to capacity and likely to decline due to planned vessel refits — all at a time of unprecedented demand and shipping seasons that grow longer each year.

Since 2007, commercial vessels have entered the Arctic earlier and left

later than coast guard icebreakers. Concurrently, the ice-breaking service has also reduced the number of days it operates in the Far North.

“This reduced presence in the Arctic means that icebreakers serving the region may have to cover more territory and may take longer to respond to user requests for icebreaking services,” said the report.

The federal government has responded to and agreed with Gelfand’s conclusions, promising to prioritize hydrographic surveying efforts, review navigational aid systems and consider “modern and efficient solutions” for coast guard service delivery.
