Violent, high risk offender moving to Cranbrook TOWNSMAN STAFF

IN COURT

Preliminary hearing underway for De Assumpcao TOWNSMAN STAFF

A preliminary inquiry has begun for Claudia Valerie De Assumpcao, who is facing a murder charge following an incident in Kimberley in March 2013.

Held in Cranbrook criminal court in front of Justice Grant Sheard, the inquiry started off

with witness testimony on Monday morning The evidence and identity of witnesses presented in the inquiry are under a publication ban.

A preliminary inquiry determines whether there is enough evidence for Crown counsel to proceed to trial.

According to RCMP, on Friday, March 8, 2013, the Kimberley detachment, BC Coroner’s Service and Southeast District Major Crime Section were called to investigate the suspicious death of a man at a Marysville residence.

On Saturday, March 9, RCMP arrested the 37-year-

old girlfriend of the deceased, whom RCMP said was living with the deceased at his time of death.

De Assumpcao was charged with second-degree murder and arson in relation to inhabited property for an offence committed in Kimberley on March 8.

The B.C. Ministry of Justice, Corrections Branch issued a public notification on Monday, that a high risk, violent sexual offender is being released from custody, and that he plans to move to Cranbrook.

Jason Beaudry, formerly of Creston, has a lengthy criminal history with at least 70 convictions, including violent and sexual offences and weapon charges. His victims have been men and women, strangers and acquaintances, and his offences include violent and sexual offences and weapon use.

Beadury is 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. He is Aboriginal with black hair and hazel eyes. He is currently in Kamloops and plans to reside in the City of Cranbrook, according to the BC Corrections notification.

Corrections added that Beaudry is subject to close monitoring by authorities and 13 court-ordered conditions including: • Not possess, own or carry any weapons; • Not attend at any establishment where

JASON BEAUDRY

the primary commodity for sale is alcohol • To abstain completely from possession, purchase or consumption of any alcohol or drugs • To not be outside be residence between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

At a court appearance in Cranbrook in November, 2011, Beaudry told the judge that he didn’t have a good plan to stay out of trouble when he was released from jail, and said he would be better prepared next time. His lawyer told the judge that Beaudry is plagued by problems with alcohol and he finds it difficult not to drink.

Ed King of Cranbrook, recipient of the Country Gospel Music Association’s International FullTime Male Vocalist of the Year.

Ed King again tops in his field Tre vor Cr awley

Cranbro ok-bas e d musician Ed King has been honoured with another award.

The gospel artist was a recent recipient of the Country Gospel Music Association’s International Full-Time Male Vocalist of the Year, which was announced on Saturday at a ceremony in Branson, Missouri.

King, who has called the Key City home since 1979, was up against four other musicians from across North America for the honour.

“This has been home but I’ve been away from here a lot. I’ve been in the music business forever, it seems to me,” said King, in an interview with the Daily Townsman.

Last year, King picked up an international Golden Heart award for International Male Entertainer of the Year, along with Male Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year at the Canadian Silver Heart Awards.

King has had a career spanning decades in country and gospel music. In fact, he’s still getting royalties from his album The Dream, which was released in 1971.

He spent much of his career touring up and down the west coast and interior regions of the U.S. and Canada For 20 years he played in a four-piece band called King Kounty that featured a female lead singer.

He built a cabaret in

100-Mile House and used it as a jumping-off point to tour in Alaska.

In 2008, he was inducted into the B.C. Country Music Hall of Fame.

Music is a family affair as his sons Lance and Jay have become accomplished musicians, and his grandson, Connor is also looking to go somewhere with his talent. “[I’m ]Trying to get to the point where I’m retired and let guys like Connor get out and do that stuff, but it’s one of them things where if you’ve been in the music business as long as I have, you never really retire,” King said.

“But I’ve slowed down to the point where I only do the things I want to do.”

Those things include working with a Saskatchewan-based artist named Penny Buhr Johnson, who came to Cranbrook last winter for some shows with King.

“I had her here last Christmas, the week before Christmas I had her here, we did some stuff at the mall, we did a thing at Arbys and a thing at the Salvation Army. We were busy for a few days,” King said.

“She’s legally blind, but she’s an awesome musician. I’ve never played with anybody as good as her.”

King is also working on organizing a gospel music convention next June, which will be hosted by Four Square Church.

Students from Mount Baker Secondary School are collecting donations from local businesses as they prepare to host the 4th Annual P.A.R.T.Y. Program Children’s Shopping Party to be held at the Heritage Inn on Dec. 7.

Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP respond to multi-vehicle accident C p l. C h r i s N e w e l

On Friday, November 21, 2014, at approximately 9:18 p.m., Cranbrook RCMP received the report of a vehicle roll-over on Hwy 95A near the intersection for the Canadian Rockies Inter-

national Airport.

When police arrived on scene the roads were found to be extremely icy. Several other vehicles began sliding into the ditch, some colliding with each other. At one point a pick-up truck

slid around the corner and into the front of the police vehicle that was sitting on the roadside.

Officers from Kimberley RCMP Detachment attended to assist as the highway had to be shut down for approximately an hour

while road crews applied sand and salt to highway. In all, eight vehicles were involved in the accident — fortunately there were no injuries.

S/Sgt. David Dubnyk would like to remind the motoring

public to allow extra time to reach your destination.

“It is that time of year that weather and road conditions can change without warning so better to slow down and arrive safely,” Dubnyk added.

Autumn is bat eviction time Juliet Cr aig

Summer is the season when property owners notice bats in their buildings. They may find guano on the deck, hear bats in the walls, or smell a build-up of guano.

The Kootenay Community Bat Project (KCBP), funded by the Columbia Basin Trust and the Columbia Valley Local Conservation Fund, has received hundreds of calls over the years with these issues. In many cases, landowners are happy to leave bats where they are. However, for landowners who would like to have bats move out of their buildings, now is the time to do something about it.

“With the decline of natural

roost structures in the wild, such as large trees or undisturbed rock crevices, some bat species have adapted to use buildings for their roost sites” says Juliet Craig, Coordinating Biologist for the KCBP. “Groups of related females can form large colonies called maternity roosts where they get together to have their one pup. These colonies may use attics, walls, chimneys, siding, barns, sheds and other structures.”

Under the BC Wildlife Act it is illegal to exterminate or harm bats. In order to “get rid of bats”, the best strategy is to wait until they have left the building and seal up all the entry and exit points. However, in summer months, bat

pups can become trapped inside.

In general, bats in the Kootenays leave buildings in the late summer or early fall. They use fall roost sites where they mate and then go into mines or caves to hibernate. Although there is a possibility that bats can use buildings over the winter, it is unusual.

“There are several approaches to managing bats in buildings” continues Craig.

Some landowners don’t mind having bats and simply leave them be or clean up the guano once a year. Others want to ensure that the bats are no longer using the building. In those cases, this is the time of year to check that bats are no

longer inside the roost and then work on sealing up all entry and exit points.”

One of the most important strategies in excluding bats from a building is to install a bat-house nearby. These wooden boxes comprised of various chambers provide the bats with an alternative habitat. They are less likely to be persistent in entering their old roost site in a building if they have somewhere else to roost.

Flu vaccine less effective against mutant strain Some protection still better than none, BCCDC says

J e f f N ag e l Black Press

This year’s flu shot may prove less effective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated significantly in the months since the vaccine was devised.

The H3N2 strain — one of three targeted in this year’s flu vaccine — is thought to have changed its genetic makeup enough to possibly thwart the antibodies that the vaccine activates.

cross protection. And for some people it could be life-saving.”

She said the H3N2 strain tends to be particularly nasty to the elderly and may bring a deadlier flu season than usual.

“We may see more hospitalizations or deaths this year,” Skowronski said.

She said it’s particularly concerning that the flu has struck B.C. surprisingly early this season, causing outbreaks in eight seniors’ care homes.

The vaccine was formulated last February because it takes six to eight months to produce in large quantities and the H3N2 virus is thought to have since mutated while circulating in the southern hemisphere.

Skowronski said it’s still not too late to get the shot and some protection when flu activity peaks in the weeks ahead, including any later surge of cases of influenza B, which tends to peak in March or April.

The vaccine also targets the influenza B and H1N1 viruses, but they’re considered less likely to cause illness this flu season.

Even in years when the vaccine is a better fit – last year’s was about 70 per cent effective against the then-dominant H1N1 strain – Skowronksi says everyone should wash their hands frequently and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth.

People who get the flu shot often mistakenly think any illness they contract can’t be flu and sometimes fail to get appropriate treatment.

“It doesn’t make you invincible,” Skowronski said.

Anti-viral medication can stop or fight an influenza infection but must be given quickly, ideally within 12 hours of the start of symptoms.

An estimated 3,500 Canadians die each year from flu complications – mainly seniors and others with underlying conditions.

What’s Up? Facing up to the dairy dilemma Living Well

W

hen did buying milk become such a complicated task? A trip down the dairy aisle can be a long process as consumers are faced with soy, almond, coconut, hemp, or cow’s milk. To add to the confusion, recently there have been some reports advising people to choose alternatives to cow’s milk. The truth is as long as you are able to drink cow’s milk without any negative effects it remains a safe and nutritious beverage choice.

Cow’s milk is an affordable source of protein. Compared to milk alternatives it has the most protein at eight grams per cup. Soy milk is close behind with six grams, whereas almond milk, rice milk and coconut milk have only one

gram or less of protein per cup. Most milk alternatives are not considered a good source of protein. If you drink a milk alternative it is important to make sure you are including high protein foods in your diet such as lean meats, beans, nuts and tofu.

Cow’s milk is also a great source of vitamin D and calcium, which are important for bone health. These nutrients help protect you from osteoporosis as you age. Some people have argued that humans cannot absorb the calcium in cow’s milk; however, a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that the calcium in cow’s milk is more readily absorbed than the calcium in fortified milk alternatives and

Courtney Gault foods such as spinach and almonds.

There are reasons why some people do not drink cow’s milk including dairy allergies, lactose intolerance or choosing to follow certain diets such as veganism. If you

do not drink cow’s milk, these tips can help you choose a healthy alternative: Choose a product that is fortified. The nutrition label should indicate it has at least 30 per cent of your Daily Value (% DV) of calcium and 45 per cent of your Daily Value for vitamin D. Look for products that are unsweetened. Many milk alternatives contain added sugars so check the ingredients list.

Drink up! No matter which milk you drink, aim for two cups each day to make sure you get enough vitamin D and calcium for healthy bones and a healthy body.

Ukraine: Conspiracy or cock-up?

T his is what former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, subsequently driven from office by mass protests in Kiev, said to German Chancellor Angela Merkel just one year ago, at the start of the crisis. It was recorded by a Lithuanian television crew, eavesdropping on the conversation with a directional mike, at the European Union summit in Vilnius where Yanukovych announced that he was not going to sign an EU-Ukraine trade deal.

“The economic situation in Ukraine is very hard, and we have big difficulties with Moscow,” Yanukovych explained to Merkel in Russian (which they both speak fluently). “I would like you to hear me. I was left alone for three and a half years in very unequal conditions with Russia ... one to one.”

The Ukrainian president was not overthrown by a “fascist” plot, as Russian propaganda would have us believe, nor was NATO hoping to make Ukraine a member.

(Indeed, NATO had repeatedly told the previous Ukrainian government, which was very pro-Western, that under no circumstances could it ever join the Western alliance.) Exactly one year into the crisis, it’s useful to remember what really happened.

The basic question you have to ask about any international crisis is: conspiracy or cock-up? The Ukrainian crisis definitely falls into the latter category. Nobody planned it, and nobody wanted it. Here’s how they stumbled into it.

Yanukovych inherited the negotiations for a trade deal with the EU from the previous government when he returned to the presidency in 2010. (He was overthrown by the “Orange Revolution” in 2004, after winning a rigged election, but in 2010 he won narrowly but cleanly.) And he didn’t

break off the talks with the EU because that would have alienated half the country: the western, mostly Ukrainian-speaking part.

Yanukovych was a typical post-Soviet political figure, deeply corrupt and almost comically greedy — the presidential palace he lived in on the banks of the Dnieper was so lavish it could have been in the Middle East — but he was a competent politician. Almost all his votes had come from the eastern and southern, mostly RusGwynne sian-speaking parts of the country, but he knew that Dyer he couldn’t simply ignore the west.

On the other hand, he couldn’t ignore Moscow either. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin saw the EU as a stalking horse for NATO, and was trying to persuade Yanukovych to join his own “Eurasian Economic Union” (EEU) instead. Moreover, Russia had huge economic leverage, since it provided most of Ukraine’s energy and bought half of Ukraine’s exports (mainly coal, steel and heavy industrial goods made in eastern Ukraine).

So for three years Yanukovych temporised, trying to get financial guarantees out of the EU that would make up for the economic punishment Putin would inflict if Ukraine signed the trade treaty. The EU wouldn’t budge: there would be no special help for Ukraine. It would just have to take its punishment, Yanukovych was told, but the trade deal would be good for the country in the long term.

Politicians have to live in the short term, however, and in 2012-13 Ukrainian exports to Russia fell by half as Putin turned the screws tighter. Those exports mostly provided income for people in industrial eastern Ukraine, i.e. Yanukovych’s own supporters. The EU had left him “alone for three and a half years in very unequal

conditions with Russia ... one to one” — so in late 2013 he made his choice: break off the EU talks, and sign up with Putin’s EEU instead.

Did Yanukovych foresee that there would be big demonstrations against him in Kiev, where people had pinned their hopes on association with the EU? Of course he did, but he probably didn’t foresee that the protests would be fuelled by the ham-fisted resort to violence by his own officials. He certainly didn’t foresee that he would ultimately be overthrown – nor did Putin, who had put him in that impossible position.

All the subsequent escalations of the conflict in Ukraine — the Russian annexation of Crimea, the pro-Moscow revolts in the two eastern provinces with the largest ethnic Russian minorities, the direct Russian military intervention that saved those revolts from collapse last August — have been driven by Putin’s determination to reverse his original error.

If Ukraine cannot be brought back into Moscow’s sphere of influence, then Putin’s strategy is to neutralise and paralyse it by maintaining a permanent “frozen conflict” in the east. In coldly rational terms, Ukraine’s best strategy now would be to abandon those two provinces, Donetsk and Luhansk, which are basically open-air industrial museums, and leave it to Russia to subsidise them instead.

But it’s not going to do that, because sovereign states never give up territory voluntarily. Realistically, therefore, Kiev’s best option is to strengthen the current ceasefire and let the front lines congeal and stabilise into de facto borders, while maintaining its legal claim to the two provinces. It remains to be seen if Moscow will even let that happen.

Liquor changes could push up prices

W

hen the B.C. government announced its latest changes to liquor distribution, the reaction was not what I expected.

Private store representatives complained bitterly that the government is allowing further expansion of fridges and “cold rooms” in selected government liquor stores, and longer operating hours that include more Sunday openings. Those hours, along with nonunion staff, are the private stores’ big advantages as things stand in B.C.’s hybrid liquor retailing system.

The B.C. Government Employees’ Union didn’t seem at all perturbed that state-run stores’ key advantage was also going to be gone effective April 1. That would be preferential wholesale pricing, in which the government’s monopoly wholesaler sells to them at cost and to private stores at higher rates.

How much higher? Liquor Distribution Branch officials were carefully vague on that, and it varies depending on which of the 22 wholesale categories you look at.

They released a graph that suggests the average wholesale cost to government stores might be going up 10 to 15 per cent to create a “level playing field” with private stores.

That wholesale price difference is the

main reason private stores have generally higher retail prices. And the majority of the province’s revenue of nearly $1 billion a year comes from this monopoly wholesale business, where the hidden tax is coyly termed a “mark-up.”

When the new, simplified system comes in next spring, a bottle of hard liquor will have a “mark-up” of 124 per BC VIEWS cent. That’s right, LDB more than doubles the price with Tom its wholesale liquor tax. And Fletcher if it’s premium booze, anything valued at more than $21 a litre will get an extra luxury tax on top of that.

Coolers and ciders will see a 73 per cent mark-up. Wines are taxed at 89 per cent, with extra luxury tax on premium wines. Beer gets a per-litre tax with ascending rates for small, medium and large breweries. Then of course there is federal and provincial sales tax applied to all of it.

Cheers!

Premier Christy Clark acknowledged that the first guiding principle of this overhaul is to keep that government revenue coming.

The new BCGEU president, Stephanie Smith, doesn’t sound like your bullhorn-toting socialist of yore. She insists she’s gung-ho to compete head to head with those private interlopers and get back some lost market share, particularly

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

on the high-volume cold beer sales.

The union has another ace in the hole.

Its current contract stipulates that LDB can’t close stores. In some small towns there are government stores that lose money, particularly since they’ve had more private competition. But at least for the duration of this BCGEU contract, the government retail arm will continue to operate in some places as a perverse social program, subsidizing retail clerk jobs that pay nearly twice what private retail pays.

And let’s face it, running a till at a liquor store is not rocket surgery. Private and government store staff have to take the same training, and liquor inspector sting operations have increased vigilance on ID checks in all stores.

With higher wholesale prices applied to government stores, this kind of artificial support will cost more. The only way LDB could maintain it without subsidizing it from the wholesale windfall would be to raise retail prices.

The LDB says this new simplified system is “not intended to impact consumer pricing.” Note the careful choice of words.

Oh, one last thing. There is another new tax in the works. It will be applied to higher-alcohol beverages, in an effort to reduce adverse health effects.

Road warriors

Dynamiters hope to build off encouraging performance in Fernie Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The month of the November and life on the road have not been kind to the Kimberley Dynamiters.

Through nine games in November, the Nitros have struggled to a 2-61-0 mark, sliding into third place in the Eddie Mountain Division.

While remaining dominant at home, proven by the team’s record of 10-2-0-1 at the Kimberley Civic Centre, the Dynamiters have struggled to a 3-8-1-1 mark on the road.

A 5-3 road loss to the Golden Rockets Friday night put another ding in the Dynamiters’ road record as Rockets goaltender Magnus Viberg turned in a strong performance to shut down the visitors.

The following night, the Nitros battled the Fernie Ghostriders to a 4-4 draw, once again on the road.

Despite only grabbing one of a possible four points over the weekend, head coach Jerry Bancks believes his squad can build upon a gutsy effort that saw the Nitros battle back against the Ghostriders after surrendering a two-goal advantage.

“It feels like a win,”

Bancks said Monday afternoon. “On the road in Fernie. Third game in three nights after getting home from Golden quite late. I thought it was a good, character, come-from-behind win, basically.

“I thought, going down the stretch, we outworked [the Ghostriders], which was good.”

The Dynamiters received stellar performances from captain Jason Richter, Coy Prevost, Jared Marchi and goaltender Tyson Brouwer in keeping the Ghostriders grounded Saturday night.

After falling behind 4-3 early in the the third period, Richter knotted the game with a mere 14 seconds remaining in regulation. With the game-tying goal, Richter extended his point streak to five games (6G, 1A).

Offensively, 17-yearold Prevost chipped in with a goal and an assist, while Jared Marchi found the net twice and added a helper.

Between the pipes, Brouwer recorded 30 saves. “[It was good to see] how we battled back and didn’t give up,” Bancks said. “It was a little discouraging to be up 2-0, then early in the third [period] we get a

short-handed goal to [go ahead] 3-2 and they score two quick ones.

But we didn’t get down.

We stuck with it and battled back.

“That’s all part of a growing process and it is a long process. It’s February and March that matters, not now. We have to experience losing streaks, slumps, injuries, sickness and everything else. It’s all a part of it.”

Bancks has had to watch leading scorer Tyson Klingspohn suffer through a production slip in recent weeks.

From Oct. 25 to Nov. 7, Klingspohn rattled the opposition for 13 goals, two assists and 15 points in five games. While an incredible rate that no one could have expected him to maintain, the Penticton native has only managed one goal and three assists in seven games since then, including a three-game pointless skid that began Nov. 20 against Spokane.

“Kids judge themselves too much by goals and assists,” Bancks said.

“With a player like [Tyson], you just hope he can just stick to playing the systems. He was pretty incredibly hot and it will come. It comes and it goes.

“I always ask kids, ‘Would you rather win

Kimberley Dynamiters defenceman Jonas Gordon lays out Ghostriders forward Cole Keebler Saturday night in Fernie. The Nitros and Ghostriders battled to a 4-4 draw in KIJHL action.

2-1 and you have no goals and no assists? Or lose 6-4 and you get two goals and an assist?’ Figure it out. When your whole team says they’ll take the 2-1 any day, you’ve probably got a good team.”

Next up, the Dynamiters host the Fernie Ghostriders Friday, Nov. 28 at the Kimberley Civic Centre. Fernie leads the season series between the two clubs with a win and draw to its credit.

It will be the first time the two teams will have met at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

The Nitros knocked off the Ghostriders 5-2 in pre-season play at the Kimberley Civic Centre back on Sept. 5.

Hockey world mourns passing of Pat Quinn C anadian Press

TORONTO - Pat Quinn is being remembered by friends and colleagues as an inspirational leader who left his mark on hockey.

The former NHL player, coach and executive died Sunday night at age of 71 after a lengthy illness.

“Whether he was playing for a team, coaching a team or building one, Pat Quinn was thoughtful, passionate and committed to success,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement.

“Pat’s contributions to hockey, at every level, reflected the skills he possessed and the great respect with which he treated the sport.

“The National Hock-

ey League, one of the many organizations to benefit from his devoted service, sends heartfelt condolences to Pat’s loved ones and his many friends around the hockey world.”

Quinn coached five NHL teams in his 20year coaching career, and also served as GM with Vancouver and Toronto. While he never won a Stanley Cup, his teams made the playoffs 15 times. He reached the Stanley Cup final twice, with Philadelphia (1979-80) and Vancouver (1993-94).

“We have lost a great man. It’s a sad day for hockey and for everyone who loves our game,” said Canucks president of hockey operations Trevor Linden in a state-

ment. Linden was the captain of the 1993-94 Canucks team that lost the Cup final in seven games to the New York Rangers. “On this difficult day I am thinking about Pat, his family and his friends, and how much he will be missed.

“I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it weren’t for Pat. He was a great leader and always a teacher. He taught me how to be a professional on and off the ice. He taught me how to play hockey the right way, how to win, and about the importance of respect and loyalty.

“Pat’s impact on our city has been immeasurable. He was responsible for bringing hockey to the forefront in Vancouver. He brought

the pride back to the Canucks and today his finger prints and impact are still felt within this organization.”

His crowning achievement came at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, where he led Canada to its first gold medal in 50 years.

NHL legend Wayne Gretzky was the executive director of the men’s hockey team in Salt Lake City. In an interview with TSN on Monday, Gretzky said that he was confident in Quinn’s ability to bring together a coaching staff and team from around the NHL and build chemistry in time for a short tournament.

“Pat Quinn was a guy who could make the co-coaches feel comfortable, and he could bring

Quinn was also a member of the induction committee at the Hockey Hall of Fame.

“Words cannot express the pain we all feel today for the Quinn family,” Giants majority owner Ron Toigo said in a statement. “Pat was an inspiration to all of us.

He always said that respect was something that should be earned, not given, and the respect that he garnered throughout the hockey world speaks for itself.

He will be sorely missed.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Remain flexible despite a friend’s rigidity. At a certain point, you are likely to feel rebellious. Someone else will know how to move this person gently off his or her position, but you might have to step back and keep quiet in the meantime. Tonight: A must appearance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your ability to visualize different routes to the same end will emerge. A loved one’s intentions might startle you when you grasp what he or she has in mind. A discussion could shed some light on whether this person is willing to be flexible.

Tonight: Listen to great music.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll prefer to deal with one person individually. Discussions could evolve to a new level of understanding as a result. You might question whether you can trust this person, as he or she easily closes down in situations that you assume are easy.

Tonight: Move in a different direction.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Defer to others, especially since they seem to have strong feelings about a certain situation.

You could have difficulty with someone you look up to, as he or she might prefer you to have a more hands-on approach.

Recognize your limits. Tonight: Accept a fun invitation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll be committed to completing a project, and you will focus all of your energy on this particular enterprise. You could be taken aback by some adjustments you might need to make.

A roommate or family member also could be out of sorts. Tonight: Take the high road.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be disappointed by a loved one’s unexpected reaction. Understand that you can’t change anyone, even if you think you can. This person will need to work through his or her issues alone. Allow your creativity to find a different approach.

Tonight: Time to party!

Tundra

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be upset by someone’s words -- in fact, you could develop a cavalier attitude as a result. You won’t want to make any financial commitments at this point in time. Emphasize your compassion in a conversation with a friend or loved one.

Tonight: Make it early.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are likely to be disappointed by someone’s knee-jerk reaction. Try not to make the situation any worse than it already is. Someone could change his or her tune when you least expect it. Tonight: Wherever you are, others will want to be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be taken aback by all the ground you need to cover.

Your focus continues to be on a financial matter that you’ll want to clarify. If you did just what you wanted, you could cause a problem. Tonight: Carefully weigh the pros and cons of what you want to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Whereas others seem to fumble under the pressure, you’ll

endure and flourish. A family member might throw a boomerang in your path, but you’re likely to jump right over it. Be careful, as a conversation with a friend could have a heavy tone.

Tonight: Be spontaneous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Understand that you’ll need to deal with someone with whom it is nearly impossible to have an open, honest conversation.

Look for ways to maximize your energy, and don’t allow this person -- or anyone else -- to deplete it. Tonight: Put distance between you and others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) While others mope around, you’ll bring friends together for a meeting. You will accomplish a lot with an open discussion.

Let people know that their ideas are valued; they’ll appreciate it and feel more included. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: In my circle of friends, there is a 23-year-old man with Asperger syndrome who drives me crazy. This guy has zero understanding of boundaries. He’ll argue, interrupt conversations and answer back to everyone, and he lectures incessantly. He once spent an evening interrupting every conversation I had until finally I said, “Joe, I’m talking to someone else now. Enough.”

He went to interrupt someone else.

When we went to someone’s house recently, he walked in the door, asked the hostess to go to the store and buy him something he wanted and then requested that she loan him a bunch of DVDs. Here’s the problem. We’ll be going out together as a group to a concert, and afterward, I’d like to invite some friends back to my place. I only have seats for seven people, and I don’t want to include Joe. I know he will ask to use my computer, make ridiculous requests, ask to borrow my stuff, go through my closets and monopolize every conversation.

How do I politely leave him out? If a bunch of us are together for the concert, one of them is bound to say, “We’re going to Tom’s place,” and Joe will think he is invited, too. I realize I will look like a jerk to exclude him, but it’s my house, and I should be able to invite whom I choose. Shouldn’t there be an expectation of proper courtesy and etiquette? -- Bob Dear Bob: Yes -- and no. Someone with Asperger’s is unlikely to understand these expectations and needs to be taught. This means explaining nicely (and consistently) when something is inappropriate and informing him how to behave in a way that will make him welcome. Getting angry only confuses him and teaches him nothing.

Nonetheless, if you are incapable of that much compassion for Joe, you do not have to invite him. But we don’t recommend you exclude him during a group activity. Instead, if you wish to entertain without him, invite each friend individually for a specific time and date, and let them know the guest list is small.

Dear Annie: My husband has two older half-sisters he hasn’t seen in years. I’ve spent six years trying to find them, but I’ve come up short. It doesn’t help that they have common first and last names. I’ve tried Facebook, Google, etc.

My husband hasn’t spoken to his father in years, due to his father’s abuse and alcoholism and the fact that his dad never wanted him. His mother is of no help, either. What else can I do to find them? - A. Dear A.: Does your husband want you to find his sisters? If not, please leave this alone. If he wants to locate them, he should ask his father (or mother) how to find them, possibly through family members or neighbors from their previous hometown. You also could hire a professional investigator to help you.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Hoping for Better Times,” the writer with MS who wanted his siblings to visit. He is married, and his wife sounds supportive.

Please tell your readers who long for company to extend an invitation. Anytime people receive a direct invitation to visit on a particular day and at a particular time for dinner, snacks or dessert, whether it’s to play cards, watch a movie or go for a handicap-accessible walk, they usually will respond. If they are unable to attend, reschedule the invitation to fit their busy lives, and don’t expect everyone to come at the same time. Have one sibling over, with or without other family members. If able, offer to babysit a niece or nephew for a short period of time to get to know them.

Take charge of your loneliness, and don’t talk only of your illness while visiting with others. Those conversations should be short and direct. An MS support group will help.

Obituaries Jean Isabelle (nee Buick) Calder October 25, 1919 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; November 20, 2014

Mum passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early morning hours of November 20th at Joseph Creek Care Village. She was born on October 25, 1919 in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. As a young girl, she moved with her parents and sisters to Trail where they lived briefly before moving to Rossland. In 1943, much to the dismay of her family, she travelled to Trail and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division, was called to duty in 1944 and eventually posted to London, England. Following her discharge, Mum returned to Rossland.

In September of 1946, she went on a blind date with a young man from Alberta by the name of David Calder who was visiting relatives. They were married on April 10, 1947. Mum and Dad lived in Castlegar, Rossland, Kimberley, Pine Point and retired to Christina Lake in 1978. They loved living at the lake but moved to Cranbrook in 1999 to be closer to the boys and their families.

Mum was active in the United Church in various communities, sang in the church choir in Rossland and Kimberley and played a variety of sports. She loved to play bridge and had an afternoon of bridge scheduled on the day she died. She also enjoyed watching all sports on TV and if the Kootenay Ice and Vancouver Canucks were playing on the same night, she would listen to one on the radio and watch the other on TV. Mum had an incredible memory, a kind heart, a loving soul and a beautiful smile. She survived three serious fractures after her 90th birthday and never complained once. Most of all she loved her family. We will all miss her so much but we are comforted by the memories of her love for all of us, by her peaceful passing and for a long life well lived.

Mum is survived by her sons Bill (Diane), Bruce, grandchildren Mike, Debbie, Jenna, Lindsay, sisters Lillian and Beth, brother John (Ruth) Buick, brother-in-law Bill Cameron, sister-in-law Peggy Calder and a cousin, Gladys Henshilwood. She is also survived by eight great grandchildren and many nephews and nieces.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com
