Power to businesses and homes was knocked out Friday morning following an early-morning car accident on Highway 3/95 running through Cranbrook.

RCMP responded to the report of a motor vehicle crash at 5 a.m. in front of North Star Motors, where a stolen black 1999 Ford F350 had collided with a hydro pole that collapsed on top of the truck. See story, Page 2.

Police seek info in Jumbo decision delayed drive-by shooting pending more information FOR THE TOWNSMAN

On Sunday, December 14, 2014 at 6:30 am, the Cranbrook RCMP responded to a report of shots fired in the neighbourhood of 16th Street South and 15th Avenue South. An RCMP press release says a residence and vehicle were shot several times. No one was injured during the incident.

Police do not believe this to be a random act of violence, but there is nothing to lead police to believe this was the in-

tended residence. A grown male over six feet tall, wearing light coloured or red pants was seen leaving the scene in a dark coloured sedan.

The investigation is still ongoing and police request anyone who may have information relating to the shooting to call the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-2228477. Information can also be relayed via web or text based tips with details on Canadiancrimestoppers.org.

The province’s decision whether Jumbo Glacier Resort was substantially started by the potential expiry date of its Environmental Assessment Certificate has been delayed as the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) is requesting additional information on the location of Jumbo Glacier Resort’s day lodge.

In the letter dated December 11, 2014 and addressed to Glacier Resorts Ltd. president Oberto Oberti, Manager of Policy and Compliance Autumn Cousins writes: “based on the recent complaints and infor-

mation reviewed through compliance oversight, Environmental Assessment Office Compliance and Enforcement is assessing whether the Day Lodge and service building locations meet the requirements of condition 36.”

Condition 36 of the Environmental Assessment Certificate for the Jumbo Glacier Resort project states that “Residential and commercial structures will be located completely outside the avalanche hazard area.”

As previously reported in The Pioneer, footage and information supplied by RK Heliski suggesting the foundation for

the resort’s day lodge was located in the path of a Class 4 avalanched zone were the basis for a NDP attack against Environment Minister Mary Polak in the legislature on November 4th.

In the letter, Ms. Cousins references a report indicating that larger avalanches or avalanches with irregular flow direction “could hit the lodge.” As a result, the report concludes avalanche control by explosives must be the method combined with support by trained personnel and a snow safety plan.

Every year, the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce chooses one outstanding resident for Citizen of the Year.

This year that recognition goes to Derek Kortschaga. “”For many years, Derek Kortschaga has made an indelible mark on the community and we are very pleased to make this announcement,” said David Butler, outgoing Chamber president.

Kortschaga’s nomination was endorsed by several letters of support from organizations and residents of the community. The letters note Kortschaga’s ongoing support for charity initiatives and the creating new events every year.

“Derek embodies the sense of community in every aspect of his life both at work and away from the station,” Loree Duczek wrote in her letter of support. “His contributions have been quiet in that he has championed causes, created opportunities for people and organizations to promote their events, volunteered countless hours to help, MC or organize, and given up his own time so that others may have opportunities.”

Jason Caven noted Kortschaga consistently helps make those people around him better with his attitude, effort and support.

Kortschaga will be officially recognized as the 2014 Citizen of the Year during the Chamber’s Inaugural Meeting and Citizen of the Year dinner Friday, Jan. 23.

Over 2,400 B.C. Hydro customers were immediately affected, the majority of which had power restored by 7 a.m. as eastbound traffic was diverted down Theatre Rd. from the intersection of the highway and Victoria Ave. to allow crews to do the repairs.

By roughly 1 p.m., power was restored to all customers save for North Star Motors.

Changes coming to hunting allocations Proposed changes could result in 5,000 fewer licenses says BCWF; Guide-outfitters disagree with number

C AROLYN GR ANT

Changes to wildlife allocation policy for hunters and guide-outfitters in British Columbia are being considered, and the BC Wildlife Federation says that could result in 5,000 fewer permits available to resident hunters.

Each year, ministry biologists calculate an annual allowable harvest (AAH) for many wildlife populations in B.C. using conservation principles.

An established procedure is then used to split the AAH between resident hunters and guided non-resident hunters. These proportions are referred to as ‘the allocation’ and generally apply for five-year periods.

Among other things, the new policy would change the allocations for resident hunters and guide outfitters.

A press release put out by the BCWF claims that changes to wildlife allocations could result in 5,000 fewer hunting permits going to residents and increase the number of permits sold to foreign big game trophy hunters.

“Proposed changes to the Wildlife Allocation Policy are inconsistent with standard prac-

tices in other jurisdictions across Canada and in the United States,” said George Wilson, President of the B.C. Wildlife Federation, which represents 45,000 conservationists. “There is no justification for these changes and they are not supported by B.C.’s resident hunters.”

However, Scott Ellis from the Guide-Outfitters Assoc. says there is not a chance that the 5,000 number is anywhere close to accurate.

First of all, he says, the split percentages apply only to Category A animals, for which hunters enter a draw for permits, not for species such as mule deer or elk where licenses are sold over the counter.

“When you look at the Kootenays, it’s not a significant swing,” he said. “We used to have regional allocations, which we have lost. In the Kootenays we estimated this to be about a $1 million loss. We are going to be experiencing some pain. To us, the new allocation policy will cost about 3 or 4 million province wide.

The only relief is no restricted quotas anymore.”

But nonetheless the BC Guide-Outfitters Association supports the

move to legislated, fixed shares of Category A (allocated animals).

“It is welcome by the guide outfitting industry, and is hoped to be the return of cooperation and partnership between the recreational resident hunter and guide outfitting community,” said the Association in a press release this week.

“Proposed changes to the Wildlife Allocation Policy are inconsistent with standard practices in other jurisdictions across Canada and in the U.S. There is no justification for these changes and they are not supported by B.C.’s resident hunters.”

George Wilson BCWF In its own press release, the BCWF said the following: “Most jurisdictions across North America give foreign hunters 5-10 percent of the harvestable surplus of wildlife. The changes proposed would give for-

eign hunters up to 40 percent of specific game species such as mountain sheep, goat and bear, and up to 25 percent of moose and elk.”

Ellis of the Guide-Outfitters does see this as particularly advantageous to guide outfitters.

“I see pain on our side and resident license sales continuing to grow as we see more woman and children starting to hunt,” Ellis said.

“Resident hunters firmly believe any policy changes should reflect the best interests of the majority of British Columbians who depend on hunting as a sustainable, healthy food source,” said Wilson.

“Our organization is committed to working with the government to protect wildlife and ensure equitable distribution of this resource.”

“Moose is the most sought after species by B.C.’s resident hunters.

In many areas, demand exceeds supply and hunters are placed on a Limited Entry Hunt (LEH) lottery to ensure sustainability. Approximately 70,000 BC hunters apply for 13,000 LEH permits each year, meaning only 1 in 5 hunters get to hunt

moose annually. Foreign hunters do not need to apply for a LEH permit, and can hunt annually, taking moose from approximately 3,000 B.C. hunters each year. The proposed changes would see even more British Columbians go without an opportunity to hunt moose.”

“The LEH process does need to be fixed,” Ellis said. “But to say a few percentage points of change will have that direct effect on permits is incorrect.

“We recognize that there may be reductions in opportunities and

revenue for the guide outfitting industry; we are committed to working with the government to mitigate those impacts. We are also committed to maintaining the guide outfitting tradition for many years to come, and working with our partners in conservation; First Nations, the BC Wildlife Federation and others who are committed to sustainable wildlife and the long term preservation of wildlife and wild places.”

The Bulletin/Townsman also asked our own fall/outdoors columnist F.J. Hurtak for his

Market Quotations

thoughts.

“The wildlife allocation issue and the controversy and politics behind it has been around for decades,” Hurtak said. “The government must decide what is fair and reasonable for ALL concerned, including the Guide-Outfitting Industry itself, but I firmly believe that what truly reflects the best interests of the resident hunter has to be placed at the forefront when, and if, any new legislation is formulated.

There is no other province in Canada that I know of, that would do any different.”

Rob Gay re-elected RDEK board chair T r e vo r C r aw l e y Townsman Staff

In the first board meeting since local government elections in November, the RDEK re-elected Area C director Rob Gay as chair of the board of directors.

Moved by Area A director Mike Sosnowski and seconded by Fernie mayor Mary Giuliano, the vote passed without opposition to reinstate both Gay as chair and Wendy Booth as vicechair.

“I was very pleased,” said Gay. “I take the job as chair very, very seriously and I think we have some changes on the board. I think change is good, but you don’t want everything to change at once, so I think with staff and directors felt lets leave the status quo intact.”

The RDEK meeting, which featured some new faces following electoral results in communities across the East Kootenay region, began with a brief presentation from former Cranbrook mayor Wayne Stetski, who thanked the board and RDEK staff for their work during his tenure.

“For those of you

who are new directors at the table, you’ll find this an interesting level of government,” Stetski said.

He singled out Loree Duczek, the RDEK communications manager for winning a provincial award and made note of the hard work put in by the rest of the organization’s staff.

As a parting suggestion, Stetski also hoped the new board would look at developing a regional economic development strategy.

“I really do think that we do need a region-wide economic development strategy that comes from the directors around the table. As many of you know, I was a regional manager for the Ministry of Environment for the East and West Kootenays for many years,” Stetski said.

“To me the strength really is in the region, so I encourage you to consider putting that on the list of priorities at some point to create a regional economic development plan, which would come from this board.”

Gay paid tribute to Stetski for his work over the last three years.

his city very well.”

The new board members, who were either elected as area directors or appointed as municipal council representatives, have spent the last few days learning about their new roles with the RDEK. “What I think is the hardest part is the procedural rules. We, as chairs and mayors, you need to learn to talk in a different language. Everything has to be moved and seconded, then you can speak about it and you really have to stay on topic and some people like to wander,” said Gay. “And that’s probably the hardest thing is to

but we also have to realize that the smaller communities have needs too.”

Shypitka notes it’s been a pretty steep learning curve.

“It’s been eye opening for sure. I never realized just how much is entailed at the regional district and what kind of issues they tackle daily and monthly,” Shypitka said.

“The staff here is awesome, the way everything is run is really impressive. It’s going to take me a little while to get my legs under me, but after the first three days, it’s been pretty good.”

Gay added that

while new board directors may be eager to get down to business, it’s important to tackle issues the right way.

“The other thing I think is frustrating to new people,” said Gay, “is they’re frustrated and anxious and they want to get something on the agenda and you have to bring it forward with some background information because just putting an idea on an idea on the agenda on a board like this doesn’t go anywhere.

“You have to have it well-thought out and researched and we hope they allow staff time to do that research.”

Jumbo decision delayed Continued from page 1 The letter goes on to say that “given the prolixity of the building sites to historical avalanche paths,” the Environmental Assessment Office is requiring the following: • An engineering avalanche risk evaluation, including a zoning plan, consistent with the Canadian Avalanche Association Guidelines is necessary to ensure the locations of any commercial and residential buildings are compliant with condition 36.

• That zoning plans be conducted by a professional engineer (P.

Eng.) in good standing with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia in addition to professional member status with the Canadian Avalanche Association.

Ms. Cousins concludes the letter stating that “while EAO is currently determining if the Day Lodge and service building locations are compliant with condition 36, Glacier Resorts Ltd is responsible for ensuring that ‘all commercial and residential buildings are completely outside of the ava-

lanche hazard area’.”

The letter is posted on the provincial government’s website and can be read in full here: http://goo.gl/aXoSI5 Once Compliance and Enforcement have concluded Glacier Resort’s compliance status of condition 36, the Environmental Assessment Office’s finalized substantial start report will be provided to Polak, who will make the “substantially started” decision.

Ms. Cousins confirmed with The Pioneer that the letter was emailed this morning (December 12th).

Opinion/features

I wanted to voice my support for the article on highway conditions in Dec. 5’s paper. This is something I was trying to decide how to get involved in, so is timely for me.

First off, let me say that I have been in the transportation business most of my life (and still am), so highway conditions have always been paramount.

In my opinion, we are not getting the same quality of clearing in the winter that we once had. The latest snowfall that we had about a week ago is a case in point.

What happened was we had the snowfall and then before it was plowed, it turned quite cold and froze very solid.

With much traffic compacting it, the frozen ice (snow) became like cement and couldn’t be removed with plows. I’m on the highways all the time and I frequently see this happening.

I can actually remember quite a heavy snowfall last winter, when it snowed overnight and in the morning I had to go to Invermere about 10 a.m. and there was not a plow anywhere. It wasn’t until coming back later in the afternoon that they started plowing. By that time the traffic had done the same thing and packed it so hard it couldn’t be plowed.

My thoughts by observation, is that, instead of immediately plowing the highways, their first priority is to get salt on it,

but when it freezes hard right away, it doesn’t work because salt won’t work below -6 degrees.

This might be an effective method elsewhere, but here in the East Kootenay, I feel it is ineffective.

I feel they need to go back and get the plows out immediately before it has a chance of compacting and freezing.

One thing I think that we all have to be aware of, is that the government doesn’t want to come down too hard on these contractors, as they NEED them to succeed and can’t afford to have them fail.

So much for public safety.

I don’t know whose fault it is, but I know by experience, that we are not getting the highways plowed like we used to.

By copy of this letter to our erstwhile MLA, Mr. Bennett, I’m urging him to try and improve this bad situation.

Neil Matheson Cranbrook

During both the critical and palliative care phases of his stay, the staff exhibited professionalism, dedication and incredible compassion in caring for our father, and in helping us his family come to terms with a very difficult situation. I experienced staff; nurses, care aids, unit clerks and others going out of their way to be helpful. Their efforts are most appreciated and will not be soon forgotten.

Wow! Mr. Tersmette hit the nail on the head. Christy Clark and Stephen Harper have high-jacked Canadians’ wallets and are using our tax dollars to fund the business interests of who? Friends? Potential employers? To be sure they are not looking out for the citizens or environment of this province and country.

They will choose to do what serves the interest of a few of their cronies over the well being and pocketbooks of ordinary Canadians.

If you doubt this, look into the logic of Jumbo or perhaps the Foreign Investment Protection Agreement with China.

O

ne thing that appears to be missing from many newspapers these days are the horoscopes that we all used to peruse daily, and rearrange out lives accordingly. They are (or were) such interesting phenomena that seem to be disappearing. Are there no more seers, sages or sundry other crack-pots in the world?

My old Aunt Agatha swore by horoscopes.

When I was still a callow youth she used to read them to me as if she were quoting from the Bible.

Auntie Ag could give a sound reason why any fruitcake forecast could be coming true. Sometimes, I am embarrassed to admit, that I used to laugh out loud at the stuff she believed.

But then, I am such an ignoramus. One day, years later, I visited Aunt Agatha on the occasion of her 100th birthday; she greeting me with enthusiasm. She had apparently read that she would be visited by a stranger bearing gifts. She grinned at me with delight, took the gift and asked, “And who are you, young man?”

Anyway, let’s get on with it. To satisfy those of you who, having nothing better to do, are insane enough to want to know what the future holds (besides death and taxes, that is) here are my thoughts. Don’t do anything rash. I might actually be wrong.

TODAY is fraught with all kinds of stuff.

CAPRICORN December 22 – January 20 Life is a pain: anyone who tells you anything different is selling something.

VIRGO August 23 – September 23. If you are married to or living in sin with another Virgo, watch your back, and if you have a joint bank account, go check it frequently. Virgos are not trustworthy.

AQUARIUS January 20 – February 18.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, it is possible that, as usual, you haven’t grasped the seriousness of the situation.

LIBRA September 23 – October 23. You have accumulated a vast wealth of experience but probably forgotten what it is.

Remember, experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.

PISCES February 18 – March 20. You may think that you are a lightning rod but, unless there’s lightning, nothing is going to happen.

SCORPIO October 23 – November 22.

You are not perfect, despite the opinions of some; you are merely interesting. Love your enemies; it will drive them nuts.

ARIES March 21 – April 20. You wander through life stirring up apathy.

SAGITTARIUS November 22 – December 22. The world is your oyster but it’s probably infested with red tide. Tough luck! Tomorrow will be the first day of the end of your life.

Peter Warland

TAURUS April 20 – May 21. Procrastination is like a credit card; it’s a lot of fun until you get the bill. Life isn’t always like a beer commercial.

GEMINI May 21 – June 21. Do you get the feeling that your life is just like that of an ice-cream cone fallen in the dust? Life is a pain; get used to it.

CANCER June 21 – July 23. Any idea of yours not coupled with sensible action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it once occupied.

LEO July 23 – August 23. The trick is to get back to normal as fast as you can, whatever your extremely weird normal might have been.

PISCES February 18 – March 20. You are probably just like a weed, a flower whose virtues haven’t yet been discovered. Get going on something.

IF YOU WERE BORN TODAY: Who is reading this to you? Do you understand?

Why are you not sleeping, screaming or barfing up as any normal new-born would be doing?

IN GENERAL: 2015 is going to be like any other year. In Canada there will probably be a whole bunch of women running around in coloured shirts doing something or other and masses of politicians trotting around wondering what the hell is going on. Enjoy it anyway.

Back in the picture Ice climb into WHL wildcard spot with two wins Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

With the holiday break fast approaching, the Kootenay Ice started gift-giving to fans this past weekend, grabbing two home-ice victories and climbing back into the WHL playoff picture.

Unfortunately for the Prince Albert Raiders and Edmonton Oil Kings, the generosity of the Ice came at the expense of its two Eastern Conference rivals.

The Ice (17-17-0-0) moved within one point of the Oil Kings (15-13-32) for fourth place in the WHL’s Central Division.

The win also jumped the Ice past the Moose Jaw Warriors (15-15-2-1) and into the second and final wildcard position in the WHL’s Eastern Conference.

The Ice edged the Raiders 3-2 in overtime Friday night, before doubling up the Oil Kings 6-3 Saturday.

Ice forward Zak Zborosky helped fuel the drive back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture.

The second-year native of Regina tallied three goals

and an assist in two games this weekend, including the overtime winner over Prince Albert Friday night.

“We’re fighting for a playoff spot right now,” Zborosky said Friday night. “We’ve got to continue to get these wins and finish off the first half of the season on a good note.”

Zborosky’s overtime winner against the Raiders was the first extra-time goal of his WHL career.

“Considering it was my first one, it was pretty big. Considering how the game was and who we were playing, it was even bigger,” Zborosky said.

“Honestly, I saw it go in and was so excited.”

With a pair of goals against the Raiders, the 6-foot, 175-pound winger also earned the first multi-goal performance of his WHL career. But apparently all of that wasn’t good enough for the 2015 NHL Entry Draft-eligible forward.

Zborosky took advantage of an error by Oil Kings goaltender Tristan Jarry midway through the third period, setting up forward

Matt Alfaro for what stood as the deciding marker Saturday.

“Zborosky decided to go behind the net and pressure [Jarry] and he had no option,” Alfaro said, recalling his game-winning tally. “I was open in front of the net and [Zborosky] got it out to me.

“I knew I had to onetime it because I knew Jarry and the defenceman were sliding in trying to block it, so I decided to get it in as fast as I could.”

After going without a point through the first 13 games of the season, Alfaro has found a bit more offensive touch in recent weeks, chipping in with three goals and five assists through the past 10 games.

“I had a slow start to the year coming off wrist surgery,” Alfaro said. “It’s good to chip in offensively, especially with Sam [Reinhart] gone. It’s always nice to get that from your second- and third-line guys.”

With Reinhart in Toronto at Team Canada Selection Camp ahead of the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship,

Tim Bozon continued to be a catalyst for the offence this weekend, earning three assists.

Everyone in attendance at Western Financial Place thought the native of Valbonne, France, had a power-play goal to add to his totals Friday night.

The Montreal Canadiens prospect took a backdoor pass at the side of the Raiders net and fired a laser towards the gaping cage.

The red light went on. The referee signalled a goal. Western Financial Place erupted as the native of Valbonne, France, gave the Ice a 3-2 lead.

Or did he?

“Myself and him [Raiders goaltender Rylan Parenteau] were the only ones on the ice that knew the puck

didn’t go in,” Bozon said with a smile Friday night.

“I was just asking the ref, because I thought [Parenteau] might have saved it behind the [goal] line…But he made a great save. For sure, I have to bury that, but you have to give credit to him as well.

“I had an empty net and I thought I would score for sure. But the goalie came up with a great save at the last second -- a highlight-reel save.”

The goal would have been the third power-play marker of the night for the Kootenay Ice, but after a long review it was called back.

Despite being stonewalled by Parenteau, Bozon and the Kootenay Ice power play continued to roll this weekend, scoring three goals

on 11 opportunities for a 27.3 per-cent success rate. As of Sunday afternoon, the Ice man advantage has climbed to 11th in the WHL (26-for125, 20.8 per cent), after suffering through a slow start to the season.

“We have five pretty skilled guys that can move the puck and produce,” said Bozon, who finished Friday with two power-play helpers.

“Once we we had everybody back in the lineup, we all knew that the power play would come and get better.”

The Ice welcome Bozon’s former club, the Kamloops Blazers (1218-3-2), to Western Financial Place Tuesday

night. The Tuesday tilt is the last for the Ice prior to the holiday break.

The Ice return to action Dec. 27 when the Calgary Hitmen (18-11-1-2) visit Cranbrook.

Notes: Ice D Dylan Overdyk (concussion) missed his 11th game and D Tanner Faith (upper body) missed his fourth game Saturday night…Ice F Sam Reinhart missed his first two games after traveling to Toronto for Team Canada Selection Camp…

Also chipping in with multi-point weekends for the Ice were F Luke Philp (1G, 2A), F Jaedon Descheneau (1G, 2A) and F Ryan Chynoweth (1G, 1A)...

Kootenay Ice forward Tim Bozon caused trouble all night long for Raiders goaltender Rylan Parenteau.

Prince Albert’s puck-stopper got the best of Bozon once, but it was the Ice getting the last laugh in a 3-2 overtime victory Friday night.

Saskatoon Blades head coach and general manager Bob Woods promised there would be changes after his team lost another game Saturday.

Less than 24 hours later, he made good on his words. Woods shipped defenceman Nelson Nogier and forward Austin Adamson to the Red Deer Rebels in exchange for winger Mason McCarty and two draft picks – a first-rounder in 2016 and a second in 2015.

The deal to send away two 18-year-olds was made just before the WHL holiday trade freeze kicks in Monday.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might not realize how much energy you exude. Try a gentle approach when trying to convince someone else that you are right. A friend you admire will let you know how much he or she thinks of you. Make a plan to visit in the near future. Tonight: Just say “yes.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might not understand why someone is trying so hard to please you. Accept this person’s efforts graciously, but check to see that there is not a secret agenda. An older associate could be instrumental in creating some stress in your life. Tonight: Relax, then make a decision.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your creativity will take you away from the present moment. A relationship could be weighing on your mind. Try to detach and look at the situation without wearing rose-colored glasses. Unexpected developments might occur in a meeting.

Tonight: So what if it is Monday?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your inclination will be to stay close to home. You also might decide to make your office more homelike. Others appreciate your attitude. A partner could challenge you because of a purchase you make. This irritation is not a new one. Tonight: A cozy night, wherever you are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have a way with words. You probably could tell someone to go take a flying leap without the person even recognizing the essence of your communication.

You are likely to utilize that skill more than once today. The unexpected heads your way. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be questioning the stability of a long-term relationship. If you really do care about this person, let go a little and ride the wave of unpredictability. You actually might enjoy yourself and find relating to be more exciting if you go with the flow. Tonight: Pay the bills.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) No matter how difficult a situa-

Tundra

tion becomes, you seem capable of turning it around in your favor. Meanwhile, indulge a loved one who really is there for you.

Be careful with any grandiose schemes or risk-taking. As always, weigh the pros and cons.

Tonight: All smiles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Take your time, and don’t give in to a knee-jerk reaction. At this moment, you need to relax and pull back some. Your perspective could change as a result. Avoid a family member who is on the warpath. This person just needs some time to calm down. Tonight: Do a vanishing act.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll be at your best in a meeting with several or more people.

Sharing ideas and listening to others’ concerns will allow your creativity to kick in. People will appreciate your sensitivity. Be careful not to trigger an irate person. Tonight: Do not be alone CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to take your time, while others seem to be in a rush. You tend to be more cautious and detail-oriented than

the majority of people. Avoid an argument regarding funds.

You probably are right, but don’t push too hard. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Resist formalities, and remain open to new approaches and different philosophies. Resolution might be difficult to achieve unless you break free from the status quo. Express your softer side to someone you rarely see.

Tonight: Consider making a dream a reality.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Someone clearly lets you know what is expected. If you are available, this relationship could evolve into something more. Be careful about swallowing anger, as it could backfire and cause you a problem. Resist the urge to act out. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 14-year-old boy. I’m on the swim team, and I take tap dancing lessons. But when I told my mom that I’d like to continue with both, she told me tap was a waste of time and that I would never go anywhere with it.

Only when one of my dance friends offered to take me to class after school did she agree that I could go. She still does not believe in my talent, even after being told multiple times that my instructors think I have plenty. She even missed some of my most important solos.

It’s like she has drifted away from me. She used to love seeing me tap dance, and now she rarely does. What should I do about her? -- Gotta Dance Dear Dance: You can be patient and hope she comes around. There could be many reasons why your mother suddenly doesn’t want to encourage you to dance, and it might help to ask her directly. But as long as she is willing to let you continue, and you enjoy it, we hope you will keep it up. Not every activity turns into a career, nor should it. Dancing, whether you are talented or not, keeps you in good physical condition and is fun to do.

Dear Annie: My dad has smoked for the past 40 years. He used to smoke in the house, but after I had issues with bronchitis as a baby, he started going outside. The problem is, when he comes in after having a cigarette, he still reeks of smoke. He stinks up the house, and when he pets the family cat, she smells like smoke, too. In addition, he smokes in his truck, so that often has a smoky odor, too.

My mother and I have told him that even though he actually lights up outside, bringing all that smoke back into the house is still dangerous to our health (and our cat’s). He doesn’t believe we are exposed to anything harmful, because the odor and smokiness aren’t coming directly from a lit cigarette.

Isn’t this considered third-hand smoke? I don’t expect your answer to make him stop smoking, but maybe for our sake he will at least stay outside a little longer. -- Miffed in the Midwest Dear Miffed: According to the Mayo Clinic, studies show that third-hand smoke clings to hair, skin, clothes, furniture, drapes, walls, bedding, carpets, vehicles and other surfaces, and builds up over time. Infants, children and nonsmoking adults may be at risk of tobacco-related health problems when they inhale, ingest or touch substances containing third-hand smoke, although the effects are still being studied.

Your father is unlikely to stay outside very long in cold weather, and even if he did, it wouldn’t solve the problem, because the smoke clings to his hair and clothes when he returns inside. Some people recommend electronic cigarettes, not because they reduce cancer risk, but because they appear to lessen the impact of third-hand smoke.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Traveling Man,” whose retired husband has developed a phobia when it comes to car travel.

I was widowed when I met my twice-married husband 14 years ago. I had fully intended to live independently, but we fell in love, tossed caution to the wind and got married. We are still crazy in love. And we enjoy our own company.

On our honeymoon, he went deep-sea fishing, and I chose to go kayaking. I am 58 and have never been happier. Everyone advised me not to rush into a relationship, especially since he had custody of two teenagers. It wasn’t easy at times, but I am so grateful that the kids are a big part of my life.

So why am I writing this? Because you just never know. I did everything “wrong” and still ended up lucky in love. -- Good Instincts Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
