CUPE Local 1285 has voted overwhelmingly to accept the latest contract with School District 20 (SD20) in last weekend’s final vote.

The contract passed by a landslide 94 per cent “Yes” vote, but that was only after a couple of topics were put on the table for negotiation.

Roger Smith, president of the Local 1285, says one point of debate was whether support staff workers with SD20 would have to transport students in their care to events and activities in their personal vehicles.

“They had been expected to drive students in their personal vehicles and it was in well over three-quarters of the job descriptions,” he said, adding that CUPE and the school board came to an agreement on the matter after a few long days around the negotiation table. “We got that rectified and the board will be creating three new classifications (for student transportation).”

Smith says that part of the agreement was for support staff to look at every other possible mode of transportation before resorting to using their own cars to drive students.

“If someone doesn't have a problem driving the student (in their personal vehicle), they can apply for one of these three classifications,” he said, adding that this was a big point of debate for the local CUPE. “We have also come to an agreement that all other avenues will be looked at first, meaning transit, taxis and any other mode of transportation before personal vehicles come into it. That was huge. That was a line in the sand where it would have been a strike issue for us.”

Now that SD20 and the Local 1285 have ratified both their sides of the agreement, the contract moves to the provincial level, See PROVINCE, Page 2

A cloud hangs over Canada on the heels of Wednesday’s attack in Ottawa where a soldier was gunned down and another soldier’s tragic death on Monday in Quebec. Thursday, the Royal Canadian Legion branches across the country, including Branch #11 in Trail, lowered its flags to half mast in respect of their fallen comrades and families.

When politics enters kids’ sport, the waters tend to become muddied.

The latest casualty caught in the region's recreational tailspin is the Greater Trail Stingrays Swim Club.

The decades-old institution has taught countless youth how to become strong swimmers, and the other traits that come with dedication to a sport – the value of teamwork, discipline and focus.

Above all, the swimming club embraces fair play with the philosophy that keeping fit is fun.

The problem today is that the club needs to be thrown a financial lifeline to stay afloat because with no recreational partnership in place with the City of Trail (other than Warfield), the user-pay system is too expensive for most families; and the club's primary source of revenue, Stingray membership, was cut in half a few years ago.

Club fees are reasonable at $125 for 10 winter swimming sessions that include coaching instruction.

When that cost is combined with the non-negotiable $347 sports pass fee for 17 young swimmers from Rossland and two from the Beaver Valley, the price overhead becomes $47 per training session to use the Trail pool.

And forget about the kids using the hot tub or steam room, because that fee only covers the use of a lane to swim.

“That's a bit heavy for a seven-year old,” says Billy Merry, the Stingray's president and registrar.

“The fees are one thing,” he continued. “But the black cloud surrounding this is most troubling.

I feel we are the political football being passed from council to council.”

The learning curve to run the Stingrays has been a challenge for Merry and his executive after the parents stepped up on-the-fly a few years ago, when the previous board left to operate the TRAX (Trail Regional Aquatic Excellence) swim club.

FROM PAGE 1 “This was a brand new job and we missed two gaming grant opportunities over technicalities,” he explained. “We didn’t have a financial officer in place, and the biggest fundraiser, which is our membership, was down by half.”

Traditionally, the club covered the sports pass charge upfront, then stood before Rossland council to request reimbursement as a team.

“Rossland gave us what was left in their account,” said Merry. “But our cycle of registering is early October, and the submission for TRP recovery is Sept. 30,” he explained. “We got the crumbs. But I am learning and next time I will be the first in queue.”

The club still has about $8,000 outstanding and no money to cover it, added Merry.

With no other source of revenue at this time, at the suggestion of Rossland council, he is planning to approach Trail officials Monday to request a grant from the city.

“This is not my mandate,” he said. “I shouldn’t be having to sell kids recreation to the communities, but things are critical right now.”

Merry recalled his days on the Trail Stingrays back in the ‘70s, when municipalities were united as a common area with common interests.

“We’ve stopped that now,” he said. “Instead of councils coming to work with us, we are challenged to go to each one and defend why we are here and what we are doing.”

The impotency of our political system is being downloaded to the kids, he maintains. “Maybe on our watch this club will come to an end. That’s a hard thing to say.”

Another option to keep young swimmers in the pool, just not in Trail, is to fold the Stingrays and amalgamate with Castlegar so the kids wouldn’t have to pay TRP fees.

But Merry doesn’t consider that a favourable move for his team.

“We are treated very well by the staff at the Trail pool,” he said. “They honour our previous year’s booking and hold those lane times for us.

The Trail Aquatic Centre is our home pool and ironically, we are proud of that.”

Province must sign off on deal

FROM PAGE 1 the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), for a final read through and ratification.

“The board has already ratified their portion, we have ratified ours and now it has to go to the provincial bargaining unit,” said Smith.

“Once all three parties ratify it, the contract goes into effect.”

The process of negotiating the contract was tense, says Smith, but overall, he says he is happy with the way everything ended.

“We had to give up a couple of issues they had, and it all came together where it ended up in a tradeoff,” he said. “We gave up some things that we wanted, but

• Security Installation and Service • ULC Security Monitoring • Medical Alert Installation & Monitoring

in return, we got some things we wanted. I think we got a good deal, it is fair. I think it was well done.”

Smith also wants to give credit where credit is due when it comes to the negotiation practices on the SD20 side of the bargaining table.

“I just want to say that the board really moved from their stance on certain things from a year ago, when I became president,” he said. “They have moved a lot in this round of bargaining. They were long days (of negotiations) and it got a bit testy at times, but quite honestly, I think it was a good deal for both sides.”

The deadline for local negotiations is Nov. 30, but a deal was reached far ahead of the deadline.

Salmo

T

he Trail Times offered the opportunity for municipal candidates in Warfield, Trail, Montrose, Fruitvale and Salmo as well as school trustee candidates to introduce themselves to our readership and answer some basic questions.

• What is the #1 challenge you see facing the council, committee or board you wish to join?

What is your strategy to resolve it?

• What outstanding issue from the last three years needs to be resolved?

The candidates were asked to limit their answers to approximately 400 words to allow space for all candidates to reply. The Trail Times edited some replies for length but the words are those written by candidates running in the upcoming municipal election.

Some candidates chose not to reply.

Candidates appear alphabetically with mayors and councillors separated.

Henry Huser – Mayor Henry Huser is running for Mayor of Salmo after living in the area for 59 years.

The husband and father of three received an electronic technician diploma from Selkirk College, and has been a self-employed business owner for over 40 years.

Henry The 61-year old has volHuser unteered for a variety of the village's not-for-profit groups, including the Salmo Ski Hill, Salmo Rink Association, Salmo Celebrations Society and the Salmo Valley Swimming Pool Society.

My wife and I have raised three children in Salmo. Now that my children are older, I feel that it is my time to serve the community in a public

office position.

I have not yet held a public office position but I have worked closely with the past councils many times over the decades. I am familiar with the mechanical workings of the infrastructure and I believe that keeping them operating is like a business.

I have volunteered for many of Salmo’s nonprofit organizations during the last 40 years, I believe that in a small rural community – volunteers are a necessity.

I am entering into this race with an open mind and a keen interest to learn the why’s and how’s of running a village.

I am sure that there will be many hills and valleys along the road of the new mayor, as there are in all of life’s journeys, but I am up for the challenge.

Dennis McLean –Mayor I am running for Mayor of Salmo. I am 64 years old and Salmo has been my home town for 50 years, 45 of which I have shared with my wife and raised a family of three children. We presently have 4 generations of family here so I have a vested Dennis interest in Salmo doing well.

McLean Salmo for a town of about 1200 residents has an amazing amount of amenities, which make it a great place, and efforts need to be made to keep them all in place.

The day-to-day business of the town must operate smoothly and spending must be wise and responsible. The village staff must have a sense of security and good morale. Recent staff turn over and restructuring has been questionable. A happy staff performs well. Good management will result in less legal costs.

In recent times harmony in the community has suffered, largely because of the changes in town and the secrecy of the reasoning. It has to be kept in mind who the boss is and that is the community.

There needs to be a mechanism of complete open communication with the community so that their needs are met and all stakeholders are on the same page and better understand why decisions are made the way they are.

The infrastructure needs to be a priority especially assurances that the sewage and water sys-

tems meet requirements, currently and ongoing.

Curb appeal of the town is important and is mainly ongoing work for the village staff. Bylaws and enforcement, if managed properly, create an even playing field for everyone and contribute to a happier community.

I have an extensive employment history and a proven work record that I always get the job done effectively and efficiently. I have gained a wide range of knowledge and experience from my employment history. I have worked for small and large contractors in logging and mining.

I’ve worked for many construction companies. I worked as a heavy duty mechanic for Finning Tractor (caterpillar dealer). I worked for ICBC in the compliance operations department.

I worked for BC Hydro in power line construction. I’ve worked for various ministries with the Province of BC Government in enforcement programs (held Peace Officer Status) and Audit (ISO Certified) positions.

If on Nov 15 2014, I am privileged enough to be able to work for the community I will bring my common sense, diligence and dedication to do my part in keeping Salmo moving forward to be a great community. I mentioned my part because everything is done as a team effort and not any one person has all the decision making power.

I’m able, ready and willing to devote the time and energy required to serve the town and residents. I am a genuine person, I’m not looking for any fame or glory and my only agenda is for the town to do well.

Ken Anderson – Councillor My name is Ken Anderson I am running for council for the Village of Salmo. I’m 66 years old and worked for the village for 21 years. I took an early retirement about eight years ago. After retiring I contracted looking after a couple of water systems, including helping Salmo with my experience and knowledge. I’m active in the community, volunteering about 20 years with the fire department [ retired ], active 25+ years at Salmo ski hill, member of the Salmo Lions

club and joined the chamber of commerce within the last year.

The number one challenge would be to keep the village moving forward and making improvements.

The infrastructure is at the age of needing upgrades or replacement .

With my experience and knowledge I feel I could be an asset to the town.

As I’m new to politics my learning curve would be great. The mayor and council is a team effort for the good of the town. I am looking forward to the challenge if elected.

Dan Danforth – Councillor

I moved to Salmo some years ago after retiring from a full career in our military. We chose Salmo as our new home, because after having worked and travelled literally coastto-coast and North to South in this great country, we wanted to settle in the best place we knew – Salmo.

However, we arrived at a time when Salmo was reaching a community turning point. Changes in the local economy, government regulations, the social character of the village, lower availability of municipal funding, and other factors, conspired with an unresponsive and ineffective mayor and council to Salmo’s disadvantage.

I will not use this forum to air

our dirty laundry. We ourselves can, and will, reverse the damage and neglect done to our reputation, our infrastructure, and our public services. This election is the best opportunity for Salmo to put in place a new mayor and councillors . New people who will have respect for the public they represent, and who will be responsive and responsible to those people. Salmo needs a council that will be effective at looking after Salmo’s best interests, where opportunities are exploited to our advantage. A mayor and council that takes us into a future where Salmo can thrive and grow, and heal the injuries we have done.

Salmo Dan Danforth – Councillor FROM PAGE 3 As a councillor, I will work with mayor, council, and administration to promote and improve every possible aspect of Salmo, from business to parks. I will happily work with the chamber of commerce, service clubs, and private citizens to achieve as much for Salmo’s betterment as possible. Salmo has much more potential for business, recreation, education, and living space.

We only have to work as a community to make it happen.

To do this, council and administration business practices must be made transparent, fair, and done right. A new mayor and council must work with open two-way communication to regain the trust and confidence of our community. I look forward to being a part of that new turning point, if the voters so choose.

Steven Dimock – Councillor I’m 53 and was raised in Salmo. After graduating from high school, I worked at a local sawmill for a few years and eventually saved up enough money to go to BCIT, where I graduated with a diploma in Biomed Engineering.

I met my wife in Vancouver Steven and we started a family, but Dimock the travel I was doing with my job became too much and we decided that the city was not where we wanted to raise our family.

After working in Kamloops at the Royal Inland Hospital, and in the Prince George Regional Hospital, a biomed position came up in Trail, so we were able to return to the area.

When we moved back I had always thought I would eventually run for council, and events seem to be coming together for me to have the time to dedicate to that now.

I’ll be retiring out of the 44th army reserves shortly and I’m having a little trouble reading the pressure on and SCBA bottle without my glasses, so it’s time to pass the torch on to the next generation in both the Army Reserves and

Salmo Fire Dept.

The top challenges that I see facing our village are that there are a few, legal, financial and staffing issues outstanding, not the indicators of a healthy organization that I would hope to see.

The main experience that will help me make a contribution is that over the years I have been a member of the Interior Health-wide biomed leadership team.

Interior Health has equipped me to deal with problems through training. I’ve taken several courses with the priority placed on being able to successfully supervise employees and work as a productive member of a team.

I’ve had a seat at capital equipment committee tables every year, and every year we’ve dealt with the fact that there are about three times as many requests as there are dollars to spend, difficult decisions are made every year. But when people work together, with an eye on what is the best we can do with the resources we have, difficult doesn’t have to mean impossible.

I’ve been fortunate to be a part of several smooth running teams and committee’s and I think that experience will help me to make a contribution to the Village of Salmo through the council.

Merle Hanson –Councillor

I’ve worked in the sawmill, logging industry, transportation hauling wood chips and pulp, from a teenager until retirement (total of 50 plus years).

I was elected as Merle a Commissioner Hanson in 1965 (renamed to alderman) for a total of 12 years, ran as mayor for 22 years, now finishing six years as councillor.

The number-one challenge facing our community is maintaining our current level of services. Salmo has many services and functions with participation from Area G and their director. If it wasn’t for the combined effort, we wouldn’t have as many of the functions that we may have begun to take for granted.

We need to keep up efforts being made to keep the present services and functions at the present level, that are not possible without

increased funding or allowing our present infrastructure to continue to deteriorate (streets and sidewalks). We don’t want to have to use the rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul approach in order to fund what might be considered to be more favorable functions. Alternative approaches to funding may need to be looked at.

We are currently working on improvements in our water system and we need to continue to ensure sufficient supply for our personal use as well as fire protection. We need to have more money in reserve in order to participate in future available grants that may come available.

Without having money set aside, we will not be able to participate in some grant programs as they have stipulations that you must contribute a portion of the money in order to receive match funding.

There are varying methods in the taxation process of raising money so each alternative should be considered and the preferable method utilized. We need to ensure that our wishes do not exceed our ability to pay.

Janine Haughton – Councillor

The number one challenge facing all small communities being the constant downloading and federal and provincial cut backs on government funding.

One strategy to combat this, to join in partnerships with other municipalities to share big ticket expenses and expertise in all areas such as

– human resources, engineering, financial etc.

An outstanding issue at this moment is the acquisition of a new Fast Attack vehicle. Which our fire department really needs.

Dan Isaacs – Councillor

operations. I've worked in the logging, mining and lumber industries, in this area, all of my life. I attended post secondary school at Selkirk College in Nelson, BC. The biggest challenge to village council in Salmo right now is lack of representation for people in my age range and demographic. Youth and Dan people with young families Isaacs have had very little to no representation on council for years. Salmo village council is in desperate need of a culture change.

The key to Salmo's success lies in voting in a council with a positive attitude. A council that can work as a team and work with the citizens of Salmo in open and honest communication.

Salmo needs a fresh, new generation of council members. There are infrastructure challenges that every small village faces and we need to have a council that is prepared to take ownership of those projects and make the right decisions to get them completed.

We have a number of outstanding projects that have sat incomplete for years i.e. road upgrades, Bailey Bridge project and an aging sewer system. Some of these projects are "shovel ready" and have been, in some cases, for many years. But there has been a lack of a council that will take ownership of these projects, come to an agreement, and start moving them forward. Start moving Salmo forward.

Salmo Diana Lockwood – Councillor

Dan Isaacs – Councillor FROM PAGE 4 I would like to be part of a council that works toward making our village a safe place to raise children.

Safe sidewalks, for example, and snow removal.

We need our parks maintained and we should be looking at creating new areas where our kids can

play and learn safely.

I’d like to work on Salmo becoming a destination for travellers, and a place to stay and support our local businesses.

Salmo has a fantastic opportunity for change. I would like to encourage everyone to come out and vote Nov 15.

Jim Mullaly - Councillor I am 67 years old and I am running for councillor in Salmo. I have lived in the Salmo area for more than 26 years.

In the past year I have attended most council Jim and Committee Mullaly of the Whole meetings. I have found that there have been many discussions that need public input that are being made behind closed doors and money is being spent

without public knowledge. I have over 40 years experience running small businesses and many years doing volunteer work and sitting as a director for a non-profit society.

In my opinion, governments are elected as a management team to run the businesses of the people (tax payers) in a fiscally responsible way, not raise taxes to buy unneeded toys or trips.

Salmo needs people that can work together to get things done – not sit and argue over the spelling of a word. My mission is to see Salmo prosper, not lose local businesses, but support them and not tax people out of their homes.

Cathy Paton – Councillor

Cathy Paton

My husband, Fred, and I moved to Salmo in 1993 with our two oldest children who were 5 and 1 at the time. We knew right away that this was where we wanted to stay.

In Salmo, there are so many ways to become involved in the community, and we did! As an Early Childhood Educator with two young children, it became apparent to me that there was a child care crisis in the community, so I worked with the Board of the Salmo Child Care Society to create the beautiful Salmo Children’s Centre, which continues to serve over 100 families each year. I am also proud to be a founding member of the environmental organization, GreenDream, and sit on countless local and regional organizations and committees that relate to health, social services, child care, educa-

tion and the environment.

If I can make three promises they are; that I will handle all interactions with the respect and caring that the residents of Salmo deserve, that I will properly research and prepare for all decisions that I make on their behalf, and that I will represent the residents of Salmo in a professional and intelligent manner in council chambers and at regional and provin-

cial tables.

With any municipality or non-profit organization, the ongoing challenges stem from increasing demand for decreasing financial resources.

I am looking forward to finding new resources that are available to rural municipalities to help improve infrastructure, and continuing to look for creative ways to use the funds that we do have available, wisely.

I was born in Salmo and have lived here most of my life. I work full time as a Licensed Practical Nurse.

I have been actively attending Salmo council and Committee of a Whole meetings during the last council term.

There are many challenges Diana Lockwood to face for the new council, from ineffective leadership, unusually high spending on legal fees, a high employee turnover and a lack of open and transparent governance.

I believe the number one challenge will be getting control of the spending. If elected to Salmo council I will remember that I was elected by the residents of Salmo to represent them and govern accordingly. Money doesn’t grow on the proverbial tree, but must instead be primarily raised through taxation. We need this money to be spent wisely on the important things like water and sewer, roads and sidewalks, fire protection and parks; and avoid costs associated with avoidable legal fees, skyrocketing administrative salaries, and pet projects. There has yet to be a completed audit for 2013. Why is this?

My biggest concern over the last three years; and therefore, the largest outstanding issue is the overly large increases in the budget with nothing substantial to show for it. Working as a nurse I know the importance of teamwork. I know that

We have to be smarter to stop extremism

T

wo immediate and overpowering impressions emerge following the shooting death of a Canadian soldier in Ottawa.

The first is that our national security sucks.

It’s hard to believe that a country that has so openly declared and demonstrated its hostility toward extremist organizations like al-Qaeda and ISIL would not have been better prepared for the inevitable retaliatory strike on our home soil. There should have been a lot of armed guards on the grounds of Parliament Hill.

Granted, we can’t forget than an intruder did recently manage to get into the White House in Washington, a place that is known to set a higher standard of security than Ottawa. U.S. Secret Security chief Julia Pierson resigned over that one. Perhaps heads will roll in Canada, too.

This is not the observation of a Monday-morning quarterback; it is the

simple question many Canadians much surely be asking as they assimilate this tragedy. How could a guy who had just used a shotgun to kill a Canadian solider at the War Memorial then make his way to the Centre Block and get inside unobstructed? It seems inconceivable that our security experts could not have taken more thorough precautions to short-circuit such an attack.

News reports point out that in 2012 Canada’s auditor-general identified gaps in security around the parliamentary precinct.

Frankly, failure to act on that report is no excuse.

The RCMP is mandated to protect the grounds, and it is clear they didn’t do so because they were still thinking of Canada as a place militants couldn’t be bothered with. Such 1950s thinking doesn’t work in our 21st century reality.

The second impression is that we now have all the proof we need that it is time to do some soulsearching on why young

DOUG

Canadian men are being drawn into extremist organizations.

There have been a series of news reports of young Canadians, including a number in my home town of Calgary, who have been gone overseas to fight for ISIL. Such organizations use techniques that westerners consider barbaric and even evil. Yet, there are still many misconceptions as to why.

MI5, the British intelligence agency, has looked at the issue in depth. Its research suggests that the majority of recruits are not driven by deep religious faith; a finding that runs

contrary to the popular notion of Muslim radicals.

MI5 found instead that “a well-established religious identity actually protects against violent radicalization.”

Instead, they are drawn by political reasons, or personal causes, such as economic disadvantage.

Some of them just end up with the wrong crowd, such as friends or associates who are involved in criminal activity. The religious term “jihad” is reinterpreted in a way that serves their personal objectives or ideology. The phenomenon is not so different from what leads to the formation of any street gang in any city.

More research is needed, but the MI5 findings suggest a course of action.

Youth who are marginalized seek out their own communities of interest. Sometimes, those communities get up to no good. If our society expects to change the trend, then we’ll have to find ways to make those young (mostly) men feel

fully integrated into our society.

In other words, we have to invest in our youth to a greater degree than we are doing now.

Make sure they have the jobs they need to succeed. Ensure they can afford to attend school.

Make it easier for them to become part of the larger social network. Listen more carefully to them, so that we can respond more quickly to their needs. And, whenever possible, keep them out of our jails, which have proven to be nothing more than highly effective recruiting grounds for vulnerable, alienated youth.

The alternative is to attempt to shut down the shadowy enemy within by further stripping Canadians of once-intractable civil rights. We tried that after 9/11, and all it did was make airport trips unbearable. Let’s try to be smarter this time.

as they can. On the other hand, millennials who are becoming increasingly influential link social values to food more than their predecessors do: organics, fair trade, local foods – all are important to them. Farmers markets, known for high price points, are breaking records in sales across the country despite rising food prices in stores. As a result, food demand is becoming more fragmented, which makes consumer behaviours more challenging to anticipate.

Food retailers will admit that not every grocery store is equal and most adapt to local needs.

Ethnicity and food trends are game changers as well. Many observers predict that 70 per cent of consumer spending growth will come from visible minorities over the next decade. Ethnic and gluten-free products are becoming better and tastier, pleasing growing segments of the market place.

But what is trendy one day may not be tomorrow, making it challenging for the food industry to recognize which innovative features have currency.

For the foreseeable future, large grocery stores will continue to exist, but their numbers will drop significantly.

Unlike the 1960s when one model dominated the market, we will soon see many successful strategies emerge to feed Canadians.

Ottawa tragedy doesn’t ‘change everything’

An editorial from the Sydney Cape Breton Post Sydney-Victoria MP Mark Eyking — one of many in Ottawa under “lockdown” on Wednesday — said “all hell was breaking loose” where he was.

Indeed, that’s how the situation appeared to most people watching the continuously looped video clips from the scene.

In the end, one man — Michael Joseph Paul Zehaf Bibeau — appeared to be responsible. He reportedly fatally shot reservist Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial, carjacked a vehicle and drove it to the nearby Centre Block of Parliament where shots then rang out, and was then shot dead by Parliament’s sergeantat-arms Kevin Vickers.

The rest of the scene, chaotic as it appeared, was the police doing their work.

There’s little doubt that many bystanders were terrorstricken. Many will mourn the violent death of an innocent young man who was just doing his job.

And we will justifiably ask: What — if anything — could have been done to prevent the tragedy?

Unfortunately, too many of

our political leaders — some of whom are at odds with our military veterans — were quick to take to social media to make ominous and jingoistic comments. And they appeared to trip over themselves in the rush to dub Vickers a hero.

The role of sergeant-at-arms is largely symbolic. Previously, the most pressing unexpected situation Vickers had to deal with was gently escorting parliamentary page Brigette DePape out of the Senate chamber after she held up a “Stop Harper!” sign during the speech from the throne on June 3, 2011.

It appears Vickers did what he had to do on Wednesday. And he is to be commended for that.

Unfortunately, there are those of a xenophobic and/or jingoistic bent who will see Vickers — an older, steely eyed, lantern-jawed white man — as some sort of like-minded avenger.

They shouldn’t.

Just days before DePape’s silent protest, Jane Taber of the Globe and Mail wrote a piece on Vickers centred around his support for allowing the kirpan — the Sikh ceremonial dagger — to be worn in the House of Commons.

Taber reported on a speech Vickers made during a World Sikh Organization of Canada dinner: “He noted that as a young boy growing up in Miramichi, N.B., he saw his father invite home students from developing countries, who were studying about co-operatives at the Coady Institute at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. Sitting around the dining room table and listening to their stories, he said, he learned to respect the culture and dignity of others.”

Recalling his interview for his current position, Vickers said: “I told them that if they made me their sergeantat-arms, there would be no walls built around Canada’s Parliamentary buildings.”

In a statement on Wednesday, Green party Leader Elizabeth May said in part: “Today is not a day that ‘changes everything.’

It is a day of tragedy. We must ensure we keep our responses proportionate to whatever threat remains.”

We agree. The government should respond proportionally to the remaining threat while ensuring that, as Kevin Vickers has insisted, walls aren’t built around our Parliament buildings.

Ottawa lawyer describes attempts to save fallen soldier

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Lawyer Barbara Winters was headed to a meeting Wednesday near her

office at the Canada Revenue Agency when she passed the National War Memorial, stopping to snap a few pic-

Robert Ilario Fogal Robert Ilario Fogal passed away at the age of 51 on October 20th in the city of Castlegar, British Columbia surrounded by family, friends, and the Selkirk Mountains he came to love.

Rob was born in Windsor Ontario to Silvio and Pierina Fogal on August 11th, 1963. He spent his childhood amongst a loving extended family and many good friends, and went to the University of Windsor and the University of Waterloo, where he graduated with an MA in Environmental Science and met his wife Deborah McFarlane, in 1991.

As a young geologist in his 20’s, he worked for a number of firms in Northern Ontario and the Northwest Territories, where he would regale his family with tales of life in the bush. More recently, Rob’s professional life saw him as an Environmental Consultant/Geoscientist with TRI Resources and SNC Lavalin and most recently as an Environmental Specialist at Teck Resources.

Before moving to the Kootenays, Rob worked a number of years with General Motors in Michigan. Rob was known for his dedication to his family, his love of cooking for family and friends, woodworking as well as travel, and for his deep attachment to and knowledge of the natural world around him. Rob was an avid athlete and outdoors man, spending winters skiing Red Mountain with his family, as well as running local roads in preparation for his next marathon.

Rob was involved in a number of community activities, including Castlegar Search and Rescue, the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology, as well as being a loyal member of Kinnaird Park Community Church.

He spent a decade as a dedicated coach volunteer for Castlegar Minor Soccer and the Kootenay South Youth Soccer Association, where he had the joy of coaching his own sons and many aspiring soccer players who benefited from his expertise and enthusiasm.

Rob is survived by his wife Deborah (McFarlane), sons Josh and Ben, parents Silvio and Pierina, sister Joanne (Mike) and brothers Roger (Georgina) and Gary (Lek), sisters-in-law Dawne (Tim), Jane (Tim), AJ (deceased) and Margot, mother-in-law Jan (Paul - deceased) and father-in-law Allan (Karen), as well as many uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews and nieces.

A Celebration of Life service for Rob will be held at Kinnaird Park Community Church; 1250 26th Street, Castlegar at 10am, on Thursday, October 23rd, with Pastor Rob Scott officiating. Burial will follow at Park Memorial Cemetery.

The Fogal family wishes to extend sincere thanks to all those who provided excellent care to Rob over this past year including the skilled surgeons at the Vancouver General Hospital, staff at the Oncology department at the Trail Regional Hospital, Dr. Ellen Smart, Dr. David Laroque the home care support nurses including Candice, Anita, Rihanna, Cathy and Dorothy, home care support workers who helped with Rob’s palliative care as well as the many friends and family who came to visit, and loved ones from afar who called to share a happy memory during his last weeks.

tures of the two honour guards standing soberly at attention.

Moments later, after passing by a Canada Post office at the corner of Elgin and Sparks streets, she heard four shots. For Winters, a former member of the Canadian Forces Naval Reserve, the sounds were unmistakable.

Turning, she saw people on Elgin Street ducking. She began to run - not towards safety, but towards the shots, and the wounded soldier lying at the foot of the memorial.

As Winters ran, she looked for - but couldn’t see - the two soldiers. Her mind went to the hit-andrun death in Quebec of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent two days earlier, and she instinctively knew the honour guards had been targeted.

As she reached the memorial, Winters

saw four people bending over a fallen soldier. She dropped her purse and briefcase on the steps and began to help.

“When you are dying you need to be told how loved you are.”

Barbara Winters

Margaret Lerhe, a nurse on her way to work at the Elizabeth Bruyere Hospital, was pressing her hands to a wound on Cpl. Nathan Cirillo’s left side to stanch the bleeding.

Another corporal, a third member of the honour guard who accompanies the two standing at attention, was on Cirillo’s right side, pressing his hands to a wound there.

David Edwin Mason With heavy hearts the family of David Edwin Mason of Castlegar wishes to announce his unexpected passing at his home on Monday, October 13, 2014 blessed with 65 years of life.

David was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on May 4, 1949 to parents Audrey and Robert Mason. He worked as a Materials Coordinator for Fortis until retirement in May 2014. He met and on May 10, 1975 married Kathleen Mary Moffat and they raised 3 children. In his younger years David played football in college, was a fastball pitcher, was an avid golfer, enjoyed curling and played slowpitch. He was an umpire for baseball and slowpitch and also a baseball coach in Trail, where he got to coach both of his sons. He enjoyed wood working, watching hockey and western movies but especially loved being a full-time Grandpa, as a granddaughter lived with them.

David was predeceased by his mother Audrey Hydomako, father Robert Mason, stepfather Michael Hydomako and his daughter Stacey Curry.

Left to mourn his loss is loving wife of 39 years Kathy, his sons Matt (Jenn) and grandchildren Maia, Macy and Makayla and Paul (Jill) and grandson Linden, his son-in-law Wes Curry and granddaughter Elizabeth.

Cremation has taken place in care of Castlegar Funeral Chapel.

A Celebration of Life will take place at the Blueberry Creek Community School on Sunday, November 9, 2014 at 1:00PM. Donations in David’s Memory may be made to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital.

Another soldier was bent over Cirillo’s head, talking to him.

“You’re doing good, you’re doing good, buddy,” he told Cirillo.

“You’re breathing keep breathing.”

Another passerby was at Cirillo’s feet.

Winters, who served as a medic during her 17 years in the Naval Reserve, asked the man to elevate Cirillo’s feet. She loosened his tie.

The group began calling for an ambulance, and for police.

Winters began to pray, reciting the Lord’s Prayer. She talked to Cirillo. He was conscious; his eyes were open, and he was staring straight ahead. She felt that he could hear her.

“You’re a good man, you’re a brave man,” she told him.

Someone - Winters can’t remember who - said the soldier had stopped breathing.

They began trying to find a pulse, one feeling his neck, one his wrist. Remarkably, everyone on the scene had First Aid or medical training. Instinctively, they began operating as a team, talking and encouraging one another.

They began CPR. The soldier at Cirillo’s head started mouthto-mouth respiration.

Winters began compressing Cirillo’s chest.

She asked that the man holding Cirillo’s legs lift them higher. Lerhe, the nurse, coached Winters on the compressions, reassuring her that they were strong.

After a time, someone else relieved her on the chest compressions, and Winters moved to Cirillo’s head. She talked to him, comforting him.

“You are loved.

Your family loves you.

You’re a good man,” she told him.

Winters told Cirillo to think about what he was doing - that he’d been standing guard at the National War Memorial. She told him what a good man he was for doing his duty.

She didn’t see a wedding ring, and didn’t know if he was married. So she just kept repeating: “Your family loves you. Your parents are so proud of you. Your military family loves you.

“All the people here, we’re working so hard for you. Everybody loves you.”

The impromptu team kept waiting for an ambulance, desperately willing Cirillo to hang on.

“You are so loved,” Winters told Cirillo.

“We’re all trying to help you.”

Sirens signalled the arrival of the paramed-

ics. The paramedics cut open his clothes to assess the injuries, took over the chest compressions and put a neck brace on him.

But Cirillo died in the arms of the people working so hard to keep him alive.

Winters does not think she did anything extraordinary by running towards the sound of the shots.

She is shaken by the experience, but full of praise for all of those who worked to help.

“No one was hysterical. Everyone was so calm. Everyone was entirely focused on the soldier and on helping him.”

She has complete admiration for the courage of her fellow helpers, who worked steadily despite the possibility of the danger from another gunman.

Afterwards, Winters remembered the actions of other women who went to the aid of another dying soldier - Lee Rigby, murdered in southeast London in 2013. As Rigby lay bleeding, several women persuaded his killers to let them go to him. One sat beside him and held him.

Winters did what most people would do, she says.

“When you are dying, you need to be told how loved you are.”

Alfred Wertheimer

Photographer captured iconic shots of Elvis THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - Alfred Wertheimer, the photographer whose portraits of Elvis Presley documented the birth of a music legend, has died.

Wertheimer, who was 85, died of natural causes Sunday at his New York apartment.

Wertheimer was 26 when he was assigned to photograph the unknown 21-year-old singer. He travelled with Elvis from New York to Memphis by train and produced a series of now famous black and white portraits that were the subject of exhibits at the Smithsonian Institution and the Grammy Museum.

“There has been no other photographer that Elvis ever allowed

to get as up close and personal in his life through photos as he did with Alfred,” Priscilla Presley said Tuesday.

“I’m deeply saddened by the death of Alfred Wertheimer. He was a dear friend and special soul. I feel he was a gift for all who knew him especially, Elvis Presley.”

Among the most famous shots: “The Kiss,” a photo of Elvis nuzzling a woman fan backstage.

Photographs of Elvis recording “Hound Dog” and “Don’t Be Cruel,” reading fan mail, eating alone, staring out a train window, playing a piano in an empty studio and walking by himself on a deserted New York street depicted a solitude that later was surrendered to fame and mobs of fans.

It’s the Great Pumpkin, or is it?

A

lmost 50 years after it first aired, the 1966 Halloween classic, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”, remains popular. Despite the simple plot and rudimentary animation, it gets higher television ratings than more sophisticated shows. One reason for this could be its insights into human behavior and the nature of belief.

The plot is straightforward. Linus believes in a Great Pumpkin, a Santa Claus like figure who rises up from the most sincere pumpkin patch on Halloween to drop toys to faithful believers.

The rest of the Snoopy gang mock and insult him. Even little Sally, who adores Linus, abandons him after waiting in vain for the arrival of the Great Pumpkin. The show ends with Linus working through his disappointment and vehemently asserting his belief.

The cartoon touches on a lot of themes; one is the relationship between belief and doubt.

In “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”, belief and doubt are bedfellows, existing in relationlouise ship, not in opposition, to one another.

Linus holds fast Everyday Theology to his belief in the Great Pumpkin despite the overwhelming evidence that refutes its existence, and the crushing disappointment he experiences annually when the Great Pumpkin fails to appear. Yet, Linus moves back and forth between certainty and uncertainty as he struggles to overcome the doubt that threatens his belief every Halloween.

Linus is not alone in the struggle to reconcile belief and doubt. From doubting Thomas in the first century to Pope Francis today, theologians have always recognized the presence of doubt and its importance to the spiritual life.

The cartoon also uses the actions of its child characters to subtly probe the foibles of adult behavior.

There is the example of Sally, who blames Linus for her decision to join him in the pumpkin patch. Angry and disappointed because she missed the fun of Halloween, she threatens to sue Linus, shouting at him, “You owe me restitution.” While her reaction is comical given her tender age, it pokes fun at the adult world. We might recognize in Sally’s anger our own desire to get even (through the courts if necessary), and our reluctance to consider the ways in which we may have contributed to a problem.

Linus and Charlie Brown, like Sally, have great expectations that quite literally fail to materialize. Linus comes away empty handed from the pumpkin patch, and Charlie Brown ends the night with a bag of rocks instead of candy. In their disappointment, we might recognize our own when our actions fail to produce the desired results. We do not always get what we want or think we deserve.

And in the bag of rocks, we might recognize the pain of rejection. Perhaps we were not bullied, as Lucy bullies Charlie Brown, but at some point, each of us has carried that bag of rocks.

“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” holds a mirror up to human nature. This may explain, in part, its enduring appeal despite its straightforward story and rudimentary animation in an age of superior technology and elaborate story lines.

Of Ghosties and Goulies and Things that Go Bump in the Night Tis the season for “ghosties, and ghoulies and things that go bump in the night.” In modern day language we know this time of year as Halloween. We dress our children up, and sometimes ourselves in costumes and go door to door trick or treating.

How many of us remember that Halloween originally was a contraction for All Hallows Evening and that All Hallows is the ancient English term for All Saints?

All Saints Day is one of the holy days in the Christian calendar and is always observed on November 1. All Hallows Evening then is the day that is observed on the evening prior to All Saints or All Hallows Day. Originally All Saints was the day that the Church remembered its martyrs who were not otherwise remembered but over time many congregations use All Saints Day as the day in which we remember all those who have died, especially those who have died in the previous year.

At one point in the history of Halloween we were afraid of dealing with the memories and encounters of those who had died and so we dressed up in costume and engaged in activities to scare them away. I would hope that over the years we have learned not to be frightened of the memories of those who have died. As Christians we believe that those who are dead, are as a result of the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth are alive in a mystical way. They surround us on every side and because they have experienced in their lives what we experience in our daily lives they are encouraging us to continue to living out lives of hope and faith.

As we dress up in our costumes and go out trick or treating, let us remember those who have gone before us and remembering their example find the courage to live lives of meaning and hope today.

The Limited model features a panoramic moonroof that brings in lots of natural light to the cabin.

“We have a room just for sorting now,” explains past president Sharon Hansen.

Customers had to walk past the room during the previous store layout, making it difficult for them to keep their hands away and to let the volunteers do their job.

“We use everything we can by selling items, making rags, redirecting clothing and recycling,” adds Hanson. The

Rossland Health Care Auxiliary also donates their money to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Foundation and other health care organizations in Rossland and Trail.

The organization gets a list from the hospital and can decide which things on the hospital’s bucket list they want to contribute to.

“We want to know where the money is

going,” says Hansen.

During the reopening, the thrift shop was filled with excited shoppers who took part in the celebrations. There was a ribbon cutting ceremony, a kids fishpond, and cake and drinks were served.

The store has extended their hours and is open on Wednesdays and Fridays as usual, and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m..

On Saturday, the Rossland Health Care Auxiliary Thrift Shop held a grand reopening to celebrate recent renovations.

Last spring, black mould was found in the ceiling. Dave Braithwaite and crew implemented the extensive renovations to improve the previous store. The most significant change is the brand new stairs.

“Now every thing is bright and clean and our new stairs are awesome,” says president Joan Hanson.

The stairs were previously located in the back corner with a path past the sorting room, making it tricky for both thrift shop volunteers and customers to have a pleasant shopping experience.

The stairs were narrow with a low ceiling and a bend, which made it almost impossible to meet in the middle of the stairs and see if anyone was coming from the other direction.

Smoke Eaters play inspired hockey against ‘Backs

BY JIM BAILEY

Salmon Arm would pull their goalie with over two-minutes to play, but would not get any closer.

Martin would eventually gain possession of the puck at centre ice, yet instead of shooting it at the wide-open net for the hat trick, he passed to Zuccarini on the right side whose shot just missed the post, but bounced into the slot to a streaking Lucchini who made no mistake, making it 4-1 with one minute to play.

“I got a little nervous thought I’d miss it, and thought Zuccs (Zuccarini) could get it,” explained Martin. “I’m just glad Lucch (Lucchini) buried it.”

Martin would get first star for his three-point game, Gryffin Martin was named second star, and Adam Todd the game’s third star for his 28-save performance.

The Smokies were 1-for-3 on the power play, and perfect on three penalty kills.

Over 1,100 Trail Smoke Eaters fans started the home team off on a winning note on Wednesday at the Cominco Arena, as the Smokies skated to a 4-1 victory over the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

The Smokies’ Wacky Wednesday promotion started off with a minor glitch when technical difficulties delayed the playing of the national anthem. But following the tragic death of a soldier and assault on Parliament Hill in Ottawa earlier that day, Smokie fans were feeling keenly patriotic, as they took up the Canadian national anthem and sang it, a cappella, to a rousing conclusion.

The Smoke Eaters played inspired hockey after that, as Brandon Volpe netted what would prove to be the winning goal 14:45 into the first period. After a hard forecheck by Stephen Ryan dislodged the puck in the Silverbacks corner, Connor Wynne swooped in picked up the loose puck and sent it towards the goal, where it took a strange bounce off Salmon Arm goalie Angus Redmond; but Volpe would fight his way to the net and bang it in, before being knocked to the ice, to put the Smokies up 2-0.

“Overall our intensity and play away from the puck was much better than it was our last game here at home,” said assistant coach Craig Clare. “We talked about it all week, so we’re happy with the effort. It’s as close to a 60-minute effort that we’ve gotten this year.”

Due to injured forwards Robbie Johnson and Dallas Calvin, defencemen Wynne and Jeremy Lucchini were pressed into service on forward lines and

KIJHL

Hawks host Rockets and Cats ing ities v i r Th mun Com

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks are back home for the weekend with two challenging matches against the Golden Rockets on Friday and the Creston Valley Thunder Cats Saturday.

The Nitehawks have picked up points in 10 of their last 11 games, and play a Rockets team, which they beat 4-1 in Golden on Sept. 26, and kick-started their early season turn around.

But Golden has been anything but slouches lately, winning five of the their last seven matches including two wins over the Eddie Murdoch division leading Fernie Ghostriders, and a 6-2 drubbing of the division co-leading Kimberley Dynamiters.

The Rockets have potential to score in bunches with leading scorer Cole Mckechney, 4-14-18, setting up Ian Desroisier, 12-5-17, on a regular basis.

Both players had fourpoint nights in an 8-4 win

over the Ghostriders on Saturday, with Mckechney setting up Desroisiers twice, and both assisting on goals by James Gaume who netted a hat trick.

Beaver Valley has yet to play Creston in the 201415 regular season, but did split a pair of games with the Cats in preseason. Leading the Thunder Cats in scoring is Carson Cartwright, 5-5-10, and while Creston sports a .500 record (5-5-0-2), it’s just a matter of time before twotime BC Intercollegiate

hockey champion and former Selkirk College Saints coach Jeff Dubois gets the Thunder Cats on the right track.

Goaltender Brock Lefebvre will likely get the start, having carried much of the load for the Cats this season, sporting four wins and four losses, and a 3.12 GAA and a .910 save percentage.

Nitehawk veterans Jacob Boyczuk and Taylor Stafford have stepped it up of late with Boyczuk netting four points in his last

f r ost y’s liquor store daily 9am - 11pm

four games and Stafford collecting a three-point weekend, highlighted by his tying goal against Revelstoke, followed by Boyczuk’s winner.

Defenceman Andrew Miller has also been a bright spot on the blue line for the Hawks. The Trail native has three goals and 10 points in 15 games and is currently third in team scoring.

Game times for both Friday and Saturday is 7:30 p.m. at the Beaver Valley Arena.

Sale of Mayor candidates report almost 100 signs stolen Blueberry school up in the air Nelson

By Will Johnson Nelson Star

All three mayoral candidates are disheartened by the recent vandalism and theft inflicted on their campaign signs, culminating in approximately 100 of Pat Severyn’s signature moustache signs going missing last night.

“It’s totally disheartening. I can’t go out in a timely fashion and purchase another $1,200 worth of signs.

It just can’t happen,” said Severyn.

“What happened wasn’t random. The first night there was about 20 gone, we thought maybe a kid was grabbing them or

it was getting popular with the moustache thing. But over 100 went missing last night, some of them on absolutely dead-end streets you can’t see from anywhere.”

Deb Kozak and John Dooley both reported vandalized and missing signs, though in their cases the vandal-

ism is minor.

“You could understand a little Halloween spray-painting like we’ve had in the past, or a sign torn up and thrown over the bank.

But I’ve never had any stolen. We usually find it within a stone’s thrown of its original spot,” said Dooley.

“I haven’t checked

much because I’ve been downtown, but I’ve seen a couple of mine are gone and two were torn down. But for that many to go missing is unheard of.”

Deb Kozak was out of town in Spokane for a conference, but contacted the Star to express her dismay over the vandalism.

“Candidates and their supporters spend a lot of time and money purchasing signs and getting them up, so I’m really disappointed to hear this.”

Severyn has con-

tacted the Nelson Police Department about the matter.

“It’s against the law to tamper with them.

That’s simply just wrong for people to do that,” said Dooley.

Nelson police chief Wayne Holland said they have opened a file to look into the matter, and already have a “substantial lead”.

“We have opened one file, and we’ll open a file for any candidate who suffers a theft. We will follow up to the extent we’re able to, because it is a crime.”

The fate of the Blueberry Creek Community School property is still unknown.

School District 20 held a consultation meeting Monday night to discuss the disposal of the property and at least 225 people showed up to express their views and listen to suggestions from the district.

The atmosphere was one of determination as most people present were there to show support for the proposal put forward by the Blueberry Creek Community School Council (BCCS) to purchase the building for $1.

Superintendent of Schools Greg Luterbach presented a history of the school and the process that must be followed to dispose of it. The building has not been used as a school since 2002. There was little enthusiasm heard from the crowd as he presented the options the board was considering.Those options include demolishing the building, subdividing the property and selling a portion, or selling the building at full market value to BBCS or on the open market.

When Luterbach mentioned they will also consider ideas presented at the meeting, including one to be put forward by BCCS the room erupted with applause and cheers.

BCCS is a nonprofit society that has been responsible for the finances and maintenance of the site through a lease agreement with SD 20. BCCS is currently providing educational, childcare, social and recreational programs at the site.

The board will meet again Monday, October 27 and will discuss the future of the school at that time.

Whatever decision the board makes will have to be approved by the Minister of Education.

But she was still unhappy in her marriage and couldn’t stop thinking about her beau.

Years ago, I found myself in the same predicament. My husband and I went to coun-

He may be gay and only put on a show to get married and now is no longer interested in the charade. He may have a gambling problem and all of his attention is focused there. Here’s the suggestion: Get counseling for yourself. You have choices to make, and some guidance during the process would be helpful.

Dear Annie: I appreciate that you printed information on ovarian cancer and that September was ovarian cancer awareness month. I am writing you to find out whether you are aware of any support walks, bike rides, etc., to advance people’s awareness of ovarian cancer?

My aunt was recently diagnosed with the disease, and I have been disappointed in the lack of information. I

2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: Please help me understand why my husband of 10 years is slowly distancing himself. We used to laugh, go to the movies, go out for dinner and breakfast on Sundays, but now he doesn’t want me to touch him.

He has no compassion, and there’s no sex and no affection.

I’ve asked him why this is happening, and he simply says, “That was never me. I’m not the passionate person you think.” When I want to hold his hand, he wriggles away. I’m affectionate and passionate, but not smothering or overbearing. I love my husband and want to be close to him.

He goes to the casinos with male friends, but will not take me out. If I suggest going somewhere together, I get major attitude and total negativity from him. He doesn’t even want to go out for my birthday, Valentine’s Day or our anniversary.

What the heck?

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Today is a mixed bag with highs and lows. However, what you should know is that it’s a poor day to make important decisions about finances.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Enjoy schmoozing with others today, because both the Sun and Venus are opposite you. But lo! The Moon and Saturn are opposite you as well. Expect sunshine with scattered rain.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your focus is on your work today. The only problem is that this is a goofy day and you are not sufficiently motivated or energized to accomplish much.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a wonderful, creative day! Let your mind roam freely, because you will come up with original concepts. It’s a great day to schmooze and have fun!

Friday, October 24, 2014 Trail Times

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Your attention now turns to home and family. Because this is a friendly day, invite the gang over for pizza and beer. (Or a chilled chardonnay and quiche.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Like Cancer, this is a creative day for you. In conversations with others, you will put a new spin on things.

Enjoy impromptu visits with siblings and relatives.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a poor day for important financial decisions.

It’s an equally poor day to spend money except for food, gas and entertainment. Tread water.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) The Sun, the Moon, Saturn and Venus all are in your sign today. “Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!” You will attract people to you.

Postpone important decisions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

You will work best if you work alone or behind the scenes today. (Although, you don’t feel like working.) Just get through this day, which is a bit goofy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Relations with others will be friendly and warm. People will welcome social interaction, because they don’t want to work today. It’s hard to be

motivated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Just be aware that personal details about your private life might be made public today, especially in the eyes of authority figures -- parents, bosses, teachers and the police. Need to do some damage control?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is the perfect day to do something different. You

want to expand your horizons and have fun! Travel if possible, and don’t shop for anything except food and gas.

YOU BORN TODAY Your approach to life is dramatic and physical. You like to be in control of your surroundings because this helps you to be dependable, which is important to you. Settle your debts this year, to prepare for financial accumulation in the next three years. (To
