On Friday afternoon as the deadline passed, Brian Wooff, Chief Electoral Officer for the City of Cranbrook, and Maryse Leroux, Legislative and Policy Advisor for the City of Cranbrook, read out the official list of candidates in City Hall Chambers to many of those same candidates. They then drew lots to determine the order in which those candidates’ names would appear on the ballot, a protocol determined by a previous City Council.

The candidates for the Nov. 15, 2014, municipal election are (in alphabetical order):

The long-time engineering secretary at the city engineering department will be retiring from the city after 25 years Nancy Barnett’s last official day is today, Oct. 14.

Barnett said she has enjoyed her time with the city.

“I really don’t have any complaints — It’s been good,” she said.

“When I first started I was just a temporary at the engineering office because the secretary that they had was on sick leave, so I filled in,” she said. Then after six months off for her kids, she got a call from the department again and asked when she should come in.

Sewer rates increasing in 2015 A rn e Pe t rys h e n

The City of Cranbrook will be increasing sewer user rates by $3 a month, from $18 in 2014 to $21 in 2015.

At the Oct. 6 council meeting, Mayor Wayne Stetski noted that the water utility rate and the solid waste rate are staying the same for 2015.

“We try and keep $2 million in these reserve funds to handle emergencies,” Stetski said. “We only have about $800,000 in the sewer fund, so we’re well below having $2 million in this sewer fund. So that’s why this increase is being requested.”

CAO Wayne Staudt explained that

the rates come into effect in January 1, 2015.

Coun. Diana J Scott noted that council had discussed the increase already.

“This isn’t something we just decided right now, we talked about this during our budgeting process and through the five-year financial plan,” Scott said.

Coun. Sharon Cross noted that at the Union of B.C. Municipalities meeting recently, there was talk about investing surplus funds for the purpose of accruing interest, so she asked whether the city invests in that.

Staudt said the city has an arrange-

ment with the bank that allows them to pool all accounts together and so receives interest on that balance.

“On top of that, if we have a balance and reserve that we feel we won’t need for along time, we will make an investment with those surplus monies and actually go out and actually go out and find an appropriate investment,” he said.

The $3 increase per month in the sewer user rate will generate about $350,000 more in revenue next year, bringing the projected Sewer User Rate revenue to $2,464,355 for 2015.

Council passed the new sewer rates.

St. Mary’s Band breaks ground on biomass heating project Submit ted

It has been three years since the St. Mary’s Band (Aq’am) first discussed their goal of having the Kootenays’ first biomass heating system.

Last week, the Band broke ground on their District Heating Project.

The District Heating Project is the first step in clean energy for Aq’am.

The system, which utilizes biomass waste and is carbon neutral, is the first of its kind in the Kootenays. The system will provide heat to the Community’s new school. Future buildings constructed in the area will also be connected into the system.

Aq’am Director of Community & Economic Development, Becky Pelkonen attributes the ground breaking to good leadership, its funders and new partnership with MDG Contracting Services. The project was funded by the First Nations Clean Energy Fund, Columbia Basin Trust, the Federal Government, and the Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition.

“Aq’am was challenged with finding a contractor that could meet our budget, and understand the complexities of the project.

We commend Ron Mason with MDG Con-

We are also excited to have developed a partnership and fibre agreement with Paper Excellence, who will provide access to fuel for the system. We are thankful to everyone who was involved in the project.”

Beyond the company’s assurance of their ability to provide expertise on time and on budget, preference to MDG Contracting Services also stems from the fact that the company is in a limted partnership with Aq’am Community Enterprises, the Band’s development corporation.

“From the first time I spoke to the St. Mary’s Band about developing a partnership, it was a no brainer. It’s exciting to be a part of such a forward thinking initiative, as the District Heating Project.

The Band has a lot of plans for future growth, and MDG shares their vision. I am excited to put the MDG brand on the District Heating Project, we are looking forward to another successful project,” said Ron Mason, Owner of MDG Contracting Services.

It is the hope of Aq’am that the District Heating Project is just the beginning of clean energy initiatives for the Band.

“It’s an exciting step for both Aq’am, and the greater community. As stewards of the land, clean energy initiatives are very important to our community. We are thankful for the many project partners who supported this project.

We are proud to be at the forefront of clean energy in the Kootenays. We will be investing more of our time and money into clean energy initiatives”, said Chief Jim Whitehead, of ʔaq’am.

The project is slated for completion by mid-November.

It’s paid off with greater stability and consistency for our students.”

Trina Ayling ents deserve.”

With the recent hiring of a new Superintendent for the District, followed by a number of other promotions within administration and teaching staff, Ayling believes SD5 is well positioned to provide a consistent and quality educational experience for students for many years to come. However, she believes there is one major piece of unfin-

ished business in Cranbrook.

“We need a replacement for Mount Baker High School,” said Ayling. “We’ve done more public consultations on developing this school than any other Board in the province.

It’s old, it’s crowded, and it costs too much in operational expenses to run. It’s time to make the investment in our students and in our local economy, and I hope to continue to work with my fellow trustees and MLA to make that happen.”

When she’s not attending Board meetings, parent advisory and various community meetings, or helping raise her two sons with her husband Chris, Ayling finds time to

write children’s stories, and over the past few years has done a number of readings at libraries across the Kootenays.

“Literacy is a big focus for me, not only because it is essential to succeed in life but also because it opens a child’s mind to other experiences and places,” explained Ayling. “I like to write about being true to yourself and your own potential, and it’s a belief that I carry through in my role as trustee. I am very thankful to the citizens of Cranbrook for their past support, and I look forward to the opportunity to continue working hard to help all our students secure a bright future.”

across BC, Ayling highlights the fact that the present SD5 Board has managed public funds responsibly, with every budget balanced --even in the face of ongoing fiscal challenges.

“We have to operate our school system within funding constraints.

That’s the reality. But we do have some flexibility in how we allocate those limited funds, and we have worked very hard to find ways to trim expenses to minimize the impact on our students,” explained Ayling. “Each year we also provide government with a reasonable ‘needs budget’ so they can see, down to the penny, the gap between what we receive versus what we need in order to deliver the education students and par-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

*** On another note, while we are busy defending freedom abroad, it seems we may not be so keen on the concept at home. A study by Evidence for Democracy, a non-profit group that advocates for evidence-based public policy, has found that open communication between government scientists and the media, and therefore the public, is not supported. In other words, journalists have to speak to communications staff rather than scientists when they have questions. CBC News reports that The National Research Council was the only department that allows its scientists to express their personal views, provided he or she states that the opinions are his or her own. Apparently the most egregious departments for keeping scientists away from direct communication with media are The Canadian Space Agency, Public Works and Government Services Canada, Industry Canada and Natural Resources Canada.

So apparently, if you want scientific answers, you must accept those answers spun in the obfuscating web of government communications-speak. I mean really, why would you want to talk to a scientist about a scientific matter?

Opinion/Events

I would like to address what I feel is a serious problem in our community.

It seems these days it’s nearly impossible to find full-time employment in Cranbrook. Employers don’t offer full-time hours in an effort to cut costs and prevent workers from qualifying for benefits. It leaves workers scrambling to pick up three sometimes four jobs just to survive never mind dreaming about ever owning their own homes.

I don’t know when companies became so focused on cutting costs that they stopped valuing hard-working, honest, people who only ask that a job pays them enough to make a living. These businesses need to realize that people who are treated well at work tend to put forth more effort, increasing productivity, positive company feedback and driving more business.

Poor pay, poor working conditions and not enough hours are some of the leading factors to the high turnover most companies experience.

No person in this country should have to choose between paying for the roof over their head or the food on their table just because employers are only willing to hire for a handful of hours a week.

Another term

Over the past decade or more the City of Cranbrook infrastructure had been totally neglected. In 2012 a new Mayor and Council were elected bringing badly need-

ed repairs to the City infrastructure. Potholes are being fixed, leaky water mains are being repaired, and cattle on the City pastures no longer have sewage effluent plumbed directly into watering tanks.

Let’s give our present Mayor and Council more than three years to restore years and years of neglect. With a good solid infrastructure our city will prosper and grow!

The danger in our midst

I thank Mr. Matheson (Townsman, 6 October) for bringing to our attention the dangers of the disruptive and subversive organization — the “CLC”, which undoubtedly will raise havoc again during this pre-election season.

My sources indicate that the CLC is again attempting to run a “slate” of candidates in the forthcoming election, with the goal that all members of City Council and Mayor, as well as all City Staff, become members, thereby forcing all Cranbrook citizens to bend to their whims.

I do not believe the current Mayor is a member, and it is unfortunate that Ms. Cross let the “cat out of the bag” by admitting her past association with this underground society. I am not sure who the members are, although I should know, as I was one at their last board meeting.

The wishy-washy status of its members is what makes this organization so scary.

Their innocuous infiltration techniques are secretive, even to members, as their membership is fluctuates as the political landscape changes.

I encourage everyone to check out their stated, but probably misleading, vision statement (livablecranbrook.blogspot.ca), which sounds a bit too “goody two shoes”. Their unofficially stated mandate and vision is to reduce Cranbrook’s population back to 12,000 by reducing new business ventures. Their rationale is that a reduced and declining population will open up more low-cost housing for the increasing number of homeless and jobless citizens as real estate prices plummet, thus increasing the socioeconomic harmony and balance as more of us become dependent on each other for survival.

As anyone can see from their vision statement, they will object to all new business ventures, unless those include golf courses, condo development for part-time residents, express-ways and a flower pot and natural pot-hole on every block.

This is an organization to be feared and we must maintain constant vigilance that our friends and family are not infiltrated by this disruptive and secretive society. It would not surprise me if the CLC has links to the CPC (communist-party.ca). Being naive, I was a proud member of the CLC, but my status is now uncertain, and I fear I may not be allowed to withdraw my membership.

I am concerned because membership gives political pundits a label to stick on suspicious people running for public office.

Again, we thank Mr. Matheson for alerting us to this nefarious menace lurking in our midst.

Time for truth in treaty talks Three years ago, long-time chief and band administrator Sophie Pierre sought an extension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Commission and gave a warning.

The federal and provincial government should start taking this long and costly effort seriously or “shut ’er down.”

Last week Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief commissioner on a slightly more hopeful note. This year, the Tla’amin Nation in the Powell River area and the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa.

They join the Maa-nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwassen First Nation in leaving behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with self-government. Tsawwassen in particular has moved ahead aggressively.

Its shopping centre development near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects in the province right now.

All of these treaties were negotiated despite multiple overlapping territorial claims around them, and similar progress has been made with the Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast and elsewhere.

The need for aboriginal people to work out their overlapping claim issues between themselves was the focus of the commission’s 22nd annual report. In it, former chief commissioners Miles Richardson of

the Haida Nation and Steven Point of the Sto:lo Nation added their influential voices, urging aboriginal communities to consider them shared territories, rather than clinging to ancient tribal rivalries.

Another hopeful sign is that after seven years of commissions and studies, the federal government has finally given its negotiators a mandate to negotiate fisheries. This is the main BC Views reason why the Tla’amin waited five long years for Tom Ottawa’s blessing after Fletcher their treaty had been hammered out.

This year’s landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, recognizing Tsilhqot’in Nation title in the remote Nemiah Valley, has also got the attention of Victoria and Ottawa. Pierre noted the “flurry of activity” by Premier Christy Clark in seeking reconciliation, which will culminate this month with a formal apology for the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs 150 years ago.

Pierre said this court ruling “should destroy any lingering thoughts that this issue is not of the utmost importance, and provide the necessary investment, both financial and time commitment, to reach satisfactory conclusions.”

That’s the good news for B.C.’s thorniest historical problem, the lack of treaties across most of the province.

It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsil-

hqot’in ruling is unique. It’s unlikely to be repeated by most other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it.

Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties.

Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering. This would leave them free but broke.

Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said. The commission is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity.

There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward self-government.

Federal and provincial governments must recognize the successes, and the failures.

Bozon’s back in town Montreal Canadiens assign 20-year-old import to Ice

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Tim Bozon is coming back to Cranbrook.

The Montreal Canadiens assigned the 20-year-old import forward to the Kootenay Ice Friday morning. He will not be in the lineup tonight when the Kootenay Ice face the Swift Current Broncos at the Credit Union i-plex.

“Tim Bozon has come a long way. He fought a life-threatening disease with courage and determination and we are pleased with what he accomplished in the last few months,” said Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin in a team press release. “He was able to take part in the rookie camp, the Canadiens’ official camp and the Hamilton Bulldogs training camp. However,

with his progression having been diminished due to illness, we feel that one of the priorities for his long term development is for him to fully regain his physical strength. We believe that joining the Kootenay Ice in the WHL is the right decision at this time as it will allow Tim to fully recover.”

Bozon fought neisseria meningitidis -- a bacterial disease that attacks the lining of the brain, spinal cord and blood stream -- late in the 2013-14 WHL regular season. He spent nearly a month in Saskatoon at Royal University Hospital after being admitted March 1, 2014.

“First and foremost, if Tim Bozon doesn’t get sick last March, he’s not in this situation. It’s a credit to his character that he’s even playing hockey, especially at

this high level,” said Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth Friday morning. “We want to get him back to playing at a level where he can succeed at the next level of hockey. It’s going to take some time, but it’s definitely an added bonus to add a top-six forward, a quality player. Before he got sick, [Tim was] one of the premier goal-scorers in the Western Hockey League.”

Bozon registered 30 goals and 62 points in 50 games with the Kootenay Ice during the 201314 WHL season after being acquired from the Kamloops Blazers in a blockbuster deal Oct. 22, 2013.

The winger will fill Kootenay’s final overage and import slots.

“He’ll certainly inject a lot of offense into a team that needs it badly,”

said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill.

“We’re very excited to have him back. He’s a big part of our family.”

The Ice have had an overage opening since the conclusion of training camp, with forwards Levi Cable and Austin Vetterl the only overagers on the roster to this point. WHL clubs are permitted to retain three overage players.

“Tim’s no different from any 20-year-old.

Any 20-year-old we carry we expect a lot from them both on and off the ice,” Chynoweth added.

“You’re passing on knowledge to the younger players, who are 16 or 17, as to what it takes to be successful in the Western Hockey League, [how to] understand the wear and tear of the 72game schedule, the practices, the travel, all the things that go into

Broncos make swift work of Ice Kootenay shut out in Swift Current Friday night

tive enough in every area of the game,” said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill over the phone following Friday’s loss. “Basically, that’s the bottom line right now. We’re not competitive enough in every area of the game.”

The defeat was the third in as many nights for the Ice, who also dropped contests in Regina (5-4, Wednesday) and Moose Jaw (3-1, Thursday). The loss pushes Kootenay’s winless skid to four games, which began Oct. 4 when the Hitmen victimized the Ice 6-4 in Calgary.

Rookie Keelan Williams earned his second straight start between the pipes for the Ice and was chased from the crease after allowing five goals on 27 shots through 40 minutes of play. Wyatt Hoflin held down the blue paint in the third period, turning aside the five shots he faced. “[Keelan] played fine tonight,” McGill said.

“The goals against were all breakdowns by the five guys on the ice, not our goaltender. Our

goaltending has been fine. It’s the other 18 skaters on the ice that need to help out in every situation.”

After putting up four goals against the Regina Pats Wednesday, the offense ran dry for the Ice as they closed out their three-game road trip with only one goal in the final two games.

“It hurts to score, it hurts to win,” McGill said. “We don’t want to get hurt to do any of that right now. We’re not committed to getting inside the dots going to the net. That’s the bottom line.”

Broncos goaltender Landon Bow pitched the shutout, making 26 saves for his fifth victory of the season. The shutout marked Bow’s second goose-egg of the 2014-15 campaign.

Jake DeBrusk burned the Ice for two goals and an assist in the Broncos win.

“We will be expecting Tim to not only produce on the ice, but be a leader off the ice as well.”

The team opened up an import slot with the release of forward Alex Chirva Sept. 30. Defenceman Rinat Valiev, a 2014 third-round pick of the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs, was the

only import on the roster following Chirva’s release. WHL clubs are permitted to retain two import players.

The Ice sent forward Collin Shirley, defenceman Matt Thomas, a third-round pick in the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, a first-round pick in the 2015 Bantam Draft and a fifth-round pick in the 2015 WHL

Bantam Draft to the Blazers in exchange for Bozon, and defenceman Landon Cross.

Bozon has scored 105 goals and 231 points in 205 WHL games.

His career season came during the 201213 campaign with the Blazers when he scored 36 goals and 55 assists.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Game 3 of the AL Championship Series has been postponed because of rain.

The game was pushed back from Monday to Tuesday at 8:07 p.m. EDT. Wei-Yin Chen starts for the Orioles against former Baltimore pitcher Jeremy Guthrie.

Game 4 was rescheduled Wednesday at 4:07 p.m. EDT and both managers said they could bring back their Game 1 pitchers on regular rest: James Shields for Kansas

City and Chris Tillman for Baltimore. They also could remain with the starters who had been slated to pitch Game 4: the Royals’ Jason Vargas and the Orioles’ Miguel Gonzales.

Kansas City leads the best-of-seven series 2-0.

Game 5, if needed, would be Thursday at 4:07 p.m. EDT. MLB Senior Vice-President Peter Woodfork says: “We want a game we know we can get through nine innings, hopefully play dry baseball, not risk player safety or uncomfortable fans.”

hands with a handful of big saves as the Chiefs only trailed 4-2 heading into the final period.

“Great goaltending again,” Bancks said of his puck-stopper.

“Tyson Brouwer, once again, when the game was close [made] some amazing saves and that’s what he does.”

The Dynamiters third-period offensive outburst is nothing new.

Saturday night against the Nitehawks, Kimberley exploded with a four-goal third period.

In fact, of the team’s 53 goals this season, 24 have come in the final period of play. That’s good enough for 45.3 per cent of the Dynamiters offensive output.

Since the start of the season, Bancks has attributed the team’s strong third periods to its dedication in practice, including a gruelling weekly bag skate on Monday nights.

“The good ol’ bag skates get the boys going,” Prevost said. “[They’re] enough to make some kids vomit.”

Special teams did the trick for the Nitros Sunday afternoon as well.

The Dynamiters went 2-for-3 on the man advantage, getting power-play tallies from Jared Marchi and Jordan Busch in the third period. On the penalty kill, Jason Richter and Klingspohn burned the Chiefs for two short-handed markers.

“We designed an offensive play off the faceoff [on the penalty kill early in the third period] but it didn’t go the way it was supposed to,”

ng

The Kimberley Dynamiters offence feasted on its opponents Thanksgiving weekend, putting a stop to a two-game losing skid with resounding victories over the Beaver Valley Nitehawks and Kelowna Chiefs.

The Nitros earned a 7-1 victory over Beaver Valley Saturday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre before unloading on a tired Kelowna Chiefs squad — playing its third road game in as many nights — by scoring six goals in the third period en route to a 10-3 triumph Sunday afternoon.

The offensive outburst marked the first time the Dynamiters scored 10 goals in a game since Jan. 11, 2012 — a 10-3 demolition of the Columbia Valley Rockies. It was also the

most goals the Nitros had scored since an 8-3 home-ice victory over the Golden Rockets Dec. 21, 2013.

“It’s good for the kids to be rewarded for the hard work we do,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks Sunday afternoon. “This team works really hard. They go for runs on their own…our Monday and Tuesday night practices are as hard as any. It’s nice to see they get rewarded for it.”

While Austin Hancherow’s second-period marker stood as the eventual game-winner, it was Coy Prevost who made his impact felt from start to finish.

The 17-year-old forward found himself pressbox-bound as a healthy scratch Saturday night in the team’s 7-1 win over the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. After the victory over Beaver

Valley, Bancks said he felt Prevost could benefit from a night watching from above.

“It was a good learning experience,” Prevost said of sitting out Saturday. “It helped me develop, I think.”

Prevost responded Sunday by ringing up two goals and an assist while playing alongside Tyler Garcia and Tyson Klingspohn, a pairing that haunted both the Nitehawks and Chiefs this weekend.

“They’re in the right places,” Prevost said of playing alongside Garcia and Klingspohn. “It was good to get them the puck and they also look for you, too. It was good burying two here tonight.”

After tallying four goals and an assist Saturday, Klingspohn continued to roll, grabbing two more goals and another assist Sunday against Kelowna. As for Garcia, the 19-year-old forward grabbed two helpers Sunday afternoon following a onegoal, two-assist performance Saturday.

“It was nice and fresh. Coaches told us to hit, so we went out there and created lots of space,” Klingspohn said Saturday night. “We didn’t hesitate at all, went straight at the other end and pushed pucks forward.”

Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer started his 10th game of the season, earning his eighth win of the campaign with a 23-save performance Sunday.

He kept the fate of the game in his team’s

Ducks clobber Reinhart & Sabres John Wawrow Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Rookie William Karlsson scored the first two goals of his career in leading the Anaheim Ducks to a 5-1 victory over the winless Buffalo Sabres on Monday afternoon.

Ryan Kessler scored on a third-period penalty shot and Corey Perry and Matt Beleskey had a goal each during a one-sided game in which Anaheim outshot the Sabres 44-12.

The Ducks (2-1) were so dominant — and Sabres so inept — that Anaheim was outshoot-

ing Buffalo 40-10 when Kessler beat goalie Michal Neuvirth with a low shot inside the left post with 7:35 remaining.

Frederik Andersen stopped 11 shots to win his second of the season career-best matching sixth straight. Andersen, however, was denied a chance to earn his first career shutout when Tyler Ennis converted Matt Moulson’s centring pass from behind the net at 6:36 of the third period.

Rookie Sam Reinhart had one shot on net and no points through 11:12 minutes. Reinhart was an even rating Monday afternoon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your responses will change from optimistic to grumpy if you are not careful. You could feel fortunate that people are so inquisitive in the morning, but you might feel manipulated by someone’s questions by the end of the day. Tonight: Change locations to change your mood.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll go along with a friend’s decision to move in a chosen direction. This person’s drive will help you feel more creative and open to change. You might have a surprising revelation when you look at this new path. Tonight: Take a risk, but only if you can deal with the loss.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be aware of what is being offered. You might have pushed too hard to create more of what you want. As a result, you’ll need to step back and get others’ opinions. Be open to criticism, as you can improve your decision with some feedback. Tonight: Curb

possessiveness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You seem to be coming from a very caring position. You could feel as if you have pushed beyond what you had thought possible. Manifesting a long-term desire could be feeding your drive. A person you need to answer to could jolt you with his or her behavior. Tonight: On a roll.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your attitude defines your day.

Fortunately, you’ll remain upbeat when others get involved in a power play. Tapping into your creativity could prevent you from descending into a difficult situation. Greet the unexpected as a way of opening your mind.

Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Zero in on others’ expectations when trying to come to an agreement. Evaluate how realistic these projections are in order to determine if there is a common thread. A sense of unity could be important. Tonight: You could be stunned by a loved one’s actions and/or attitude.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

A disagreement about a project or joint commitment will need to be addressed. Air out each party’s differences rather than ignore them. You could be taken aback by someone else’s thoughts or actions. Tonight: Use a disruption to create an opening for spontaneity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your mind and your intuition will merge and lead you in the best direction possible. You are likely to gain an unusual perspective, which will allow greater possibilities. Tonight: Someone will sense that you’re the right person to have a discussion with.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others expect you to let them put in their two cents and elaborate on their comments. You might be walking a tough diplomatic line if you don’t establish strong boundaries. Being polite simply might not work in the long run. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Follow-through counts, and you will be able to make all the difference with your choices. Lis-

ten to what is being shared, and allow others to apply their ideas to the situation. Do not interfere with this process. Tonight: Head home for some more liveliness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out for more information, especially if you find a clog in the works. It is very likely that a thought or idea won’t play out as you would have liked it to. Stay centered, and know full well that you will find a better solution or path. Tonight: At work late.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to be more reflective and open to the possibilities around you. A little too much flirtation could backfire in multiple ways. Maintain strong boundaries to separate different areas of your life if you desire fewer complications. Tonight: Spice up the night.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m in my late 50s, divorced with no children, and have acquired a fairly substantial estate. A year ago, I decided it was time to put my final documents in order. I looked to extended family members to divide my estate, but decided to test them first.

I contacted my sibling and then my cousin and then another cousin, etc., telling each that I had been very ill and had burned through all of my savings and really needed their help. I asked to borrow some money, the amount depending on the person’s ability to afford it, and promised to repay them with interest when I sold my home.

I have never had a good relationship with my sibling, but I sincerely believed that if I were ever in need, there would be an effort to help. To make a long story short, every one of them turned their backs on me. I was shocked. And not a single one even sent a get well card or called with words of encouragement. I haven’t heard a single word from any them since. I also asked a trusted business colleague for a small loan, and he shocked me, as well, by trying to talk me into selling him my home for less than half of its market value.

Now I am completely disillusioned. I feel as if I no longer have a family and cannot trust anyone. I never dreamed they would all cut me off. I’ve made my decisions regarding my estate, but I need a new perspective on how to go forward from here.

Am I better off knowing the truth, or did I make a colossal mistake? -- Reaping What I Sowed Dear Reaping: It’s usually good to know the truth, but in your case, it took away your emotional security. A little delusion can allow us to live happier lives. Mistake or not, the damage has been done. Your choice now is whether to tell these people how disappointed you are and see whether things can be resolved. We also suggest looking into volunteer and charitable work. It’s good for the soul.

Dear Annie: I have just been diagnosed with melanoma. Fortunately, the preliminary test results look favorable.

I have many moles and tend to be vigilant about them. My melanoma is on my back -- not a place that gets much sunlight and not easily seen. I made a trip to my family physician to have a small pink area on my face checked. The physician’s assistant did not seem well versed in skin issues and thought it was a bug bite. She said I could see a dermatologist for a follow-up, and I’m so glad I did. The little pink area was pre-cancerous, and as part of the exam, the doctor looked over my body and discovered the melanoma on my back.

Please remind your readers of the ABCDE symptoms of skin cancer: Asymmetry, Borders, Color, Diameter, Evolving. I also suggest checking with one’s doctor early.

-- Always Be Concerned Dear Always: Thank you for the warning.

Skin cancer is on the rise and can be deadly. It is easily aggravated by overexposure to sunlight or tanning beds. We hope our readers will pay close attention to changes in color, size or shape of moles anywhere on their bodies. And wear sunscreen. We’d like to keep you around.

Dear Annie: Your response to “Need Your Opinion” was fine, but this woman, who says the “love of her life” is a drug addict who mooches off of his mother and yells at her when he drinks, needs therapy to help her understand why she is drawn to abusive men and how to break the cycle. The lesson she is teaching her daughter about adult relationships is harmful and potentially dangerous. And it wouldn’t hurt her to get tested for STDs. -- Retired Therapist Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Bishop in the forefront of Canada’s great aces

Canada spawned many of First World War’s greatest war pilots Nelson Wyat t Canadian Press

F

or a country with a small population, Canada was well-represented among the ranks of the deadliest air aces of the First World War. Two Canadians — Billy Bishop and Raymond Collishaw — are among the top 10 scorers overall. Three of the 10 are Germans, with Manfred von Richthofen, the fabled Red Baron, leading everyone with 80 victories.

Dozens of other Canadians became aces, with five or more victories. Other notable Canadians include Donald MacLaren, William Barker and Roy Brown.

Brown is known mainly for the controversy surrounding his downing of Richthofen. Canada insists Brown fired the fatal shots. Australia says some of their infantry felled the ace by shooting from the ground.

Most of these pilots were barely out of their teens.

Bishop looms the largest of Canada’s aces, with books, plays and a few controversial films about him. After the first war, he was instrumental in founding the Royal Canadian Air Force and was put in charge of recruitment to swell the RCAF’s ranks during the Second World War. He would end the First World War with the Victoria Cross, the Commonwealth’s highest honour for valour and 72 aerial victories.

“Billy Bishop was a man absolutely without fear,” was how Eddie Rickenbacker, one of the United States’ greatest First World War aces, summed him up in “Billy Bishop: The Courage of the Early Morning,” by Bishop’s son, Arthur. “I think he’s the only man I have ever met who was incapable of fear.”

Bishop was one of three Canadian airmen to win the Victoria Cross during the First World War. The other two were Barker, the most decorated Canadian serviceman and Alan McLeod, a 19-year-old pilot who fought off an attack by several German planes before crashing and

then dragging his wounded gunner to safety despite his own injuries.

Known as “The Lone Hawk” for his preference for solo missions, the Owen Sound, Ont.-born Bishop was Canada’s highest-scoring ace and the third highest overall of the war.

The Royal Flying Corps officer — there was no RCAF when the war started so Canadians joined the British service — was awarded his Victoria Cross for a single-handed attack on a German airfield at Arras on June 2, 1917.

He also won the Distinguished Flying Cross for shooting down 25 of the enemy in 12 days.

“He has become a kind of mythical figure,” Diana Bishop, the ace’s granddaughter, said in a telephone interview.

She was three years old when Bishop died in 1956 but says he remained a “wonderful, friendly ghost that haunted our house” even after he was gone.

“I would say he’s probably been the biggest influence in my life, without a doubt — and I didn’t even know him,” said the former journalist. “It was my journey to have him as a grandfather and I couldn’t be prouder. But I’m also proud of my dad.”

Billy Bishop’s son Arthur was also a fighter pilot with the RCAF in the Second World War as well as a journalist and noted author.

Although impressed with her grandfather’s service, Diana Bishop’s recollections of him are more personal than the average Canadian.

“He wasn’t a great business person and he was a prankster and all those things,” Diana Bishop says with a hint of a smile in her voice.

She said he was someone who tried to make “a lot more fun” for the family.

Diana Bishop cited pranks her grandfather pulled such as holding a backwards dinner party, where dessert came first and all the other courses came in reverse order.

Even the servants walked backward. Other times he’d show up at home with blocks of

Billy Bishop — Canada’s greatest war ace. soap or ice and get everyone involved in carving projects.

“He brought home instruments to play at one point so that everybody would learn to play the clarinet or violin,” she said. “He was always doing little projects like that. He loved to entertain.”

Diana Bishop acknowledged that her grandfather was also a controversial figure and some filmmakers and authors have taken issue with his service record.

“I think in the end people will remember, honestly, he was the first of a breed to do combat in the air,” she said, adding it took extraordinary courage to go up in flimsy machines with the engines spitting oil in their faces and people shooting at them.

“My grandfather, he was young and he was bold and he was brash, all of those things,” she said. “In the end, he did what he did.”

Others also had notable careers.

Collishaw, who shot down 60 enemy aircraft as well as eight observation balloons, joined the Royal Naval Air Service after being rejected by the Royal Canadian Navy. Leading the socalled “Black Flight” squadron, he was the first pilot to claim six kills in one day.

The native of Nanaimo, B.C., stayed with the air force after the war, served in Russia in 1919 and attained the rank of air vice-marshal in the Second World War after

distinguished service in North Africa. He retired from the Royal Air Force in 1943 and died in Vancouver in 1975.

Roger Gunn, in his book “Raymond Collishaw and the Black Flight,” wrote that while Collishaw wasn’t the most brilliant of student pilots, he persevered.

Among his many accomplishments, he participated in the Allies’

first real attempt at strategic bombing, on a factory in Germany in 1916.

“Raymond Collishaw had many close encounters with death during his lengthy and successful career and he survived them all,” Gunn wrote. “His bravery in combat was recognized many times with the award of decorations and praise and, in short, his legacy

should not be as forgotten by Canadians as it has become.”

MacLaren, who was a fur trader before joining the RFC in 1917, scored an impressive 54 kills before his flying career was ended by a broken leg incurred while wrestling with a friend in October 1918. Another of those who helped found the RCAF, the Ottawa-born MacLaren

had a career in civil aviation after the war and died in 1989 at the age of 94.

Barker, who was Canada’s most decorated war hero, was involved in one of the first war’s most famous dogfights in October 1918 when he went up against 15 German fighters all by himself and was wounded three times. Despite passing out from his injuries twice, he shot down three of the enemy and drove the rest off before crashing.

He notched 50 kills overall, starting in 1916 when he was an observer-gunner. The overwhelming majority were claimed as a pilot, including 46 in the same Sopwith Camel aircraft.

After the war, he started an unsuccessful airline with Bishop — Bishop-Barker Aeroplanes Ltd., and then joined the RCAF in 1922.

He resigned in 1924.

Barker then worked in the tobacco industry and was the first president of the Toronto Maple Leafs before dying in a plane crash while demonstrating a new airplane for the RCAF in 1930. He was 35.
