Neighbours petition against fence for Sunningdale park Citizens meet with mayor

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Sixty signatures on a petition and neighbours voicing discontent has the city reconsidering the installation of a six-foot fence on the west side of Lower Sunningdale park.

Juli Dobie and Rick Morris met with Trail Mayor Mike Martin Wednesday afternoon requesting the project be delayed and alternate solutions to a permanent barrier be explored.

The 250-foot green mesh

fence was slated to be in place by mid-April when soccer season kicked off, according to a city-issued letter sent to neighbours in the immediate vicinity of the park.

“The reaction to the fence has been very negative,” Dobie told the Trail Times earlier in the day.

“We already have 60 signatures without even canvassing door-to-door, this is just people we've spoken to.”

She said homeowners facing the park are upset the fence line will obstruct their view of the verdant area, which is used primar-

ily by youth and adult soccer leagues.

The city did give residents the opportunity to have a say in the matter prior to Trail council's recent decision.

Robert Baker, Trail's deputy director of parks and recreation, issued notice to 23 Sunningdale homeowners on March 24.

He described the project in the correspondence and gave residents one week to raise concerns, but only six people replied.

The 17 residents who didn't, were considered “for” the fence along with one “for” respondent ver-

sus five homeowners who responded “against.”

“People are livid the city is doing this for one person,” said Dobie. “They assume people don't care or are for it if the letter wasn't returned. There was nothing in the letter that stated if you did not reply we would take it as assent,” she added. “But when you have five people directly facing the park saying no, and only one saying yes, it makes you wonder.”

After listening to Dobie and Morris, Martin said the pair presented sufficient information that should be presented to council.

“And if necessary, the decision to be reconsidered,” he explained. “It's not for me to intervene on behalf of council, but we are listening and I did suggest they attend the May 11 council meeting for a public input period.”

Since 2012 there's been back and forth between the homeowner and the City of Trail regarding errant soccer balls leaving Lower Sunningdale Park and landing on her Glen Drive property.

The Trail Historical Society has kindly offered photos and stories related to the history of Trail.

This May, Trail’s competitive Little League program celebrates its 62nd year in operation.

The first Little League baseball program was initiated in worldfamous Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1939, the city that still hosts the World Series and is all-too familiar with its Trail counterparts. Little League was first introduced to the youth of Trail by A.J. MacDonald, who chaired the Nelson program. By the time of Trail’s involvement, over 115,000 boys were registered in the US and Canada in approximately 1800 leagues.

The city already had a strong youth baseball presence, however it

was not affiliated with the national program.

Trail’s first president was Bart Pope.

The city’s first Little League diamond was built over three weeks in Tadanac and measured three-quarters the size of a senior ball diamond. The Tadanac Little League Park was enclosed by fivefoot high fencing and boasted a grass outfield and a ‘skinned’ infield, which is a combination of sand, silt, and clay.

An insurance policy covered any and all registrants in the program in the event of an accident or injury during practice or gameplay up to $1000.

Prior to the opening game on May 30, 1953, 75 shy yet excited players (of the 230 who tried out) paraded through the streets of downtown Trail to commemorate the his-

toric day. On game day, roughly 1000 spectators flocked to Tadanac to witness the very first game played between the Kinsmen and Legion teams (12-5 respectively), followed by a game between the Rotary and Gyro teams (15-4 respectively). Top pitchers for the games were the Kinsmen’s Allan Pollock and Rotary’s Owen Mailey. These four teams represented Trail Little League that the first season and were managed by Andy Bilesky, Don Ireland, Rico Martin, and Bus Algar.

The following year, the Rotary Club donated land near the newly constructed armories building in Shaver’s Bench for a new park.

From there, membership in the league grew substantially, as new teams and community sponsors came on board.

In its day, the Trail Little League program has produced 12 Provincial championship teams and five Canadian championship teams that represented Canada in Williamsport.

Regional service helps victims of crime and tragedy

By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

There's a regional program that's been quietly serving Greater Trail residents behindthe-scenes for well over 20 years.

With one full time position, a casual worker, and a dedicated volunteer base, last year the RCMP Victim Services assisted 224 clients through life altering events such as assault, ranging from domestic to sexual, sudden deaths, suicides, motor vehicle fatalities and murder.

Victim Services is often a first responder to a crime scene or tragic event, because immediate fallout for the victim, witnesses and family members can be chaotic, disorganized and emotionally charged.

“There's a variety of ways we receive referrals but the primary way is through the police,” says Corrie Goldsbury, the program's manager. “A member will ask someone, who's just experienced probably the most horrible moment in their life, if they would like a call to victim services.”

Goldsbury said people who have been victimized or suffered a loss, often don't understand

how a call to victim services can help with immediate concerns like next of kin notifications and emergency support as well as with ongoing services for court tracking, safety planning and referrals to funded and private therapy.

“They aren't capable in that moment of understanding what it means,” she said. “They can refuse, but we will still make a proactive follow up call the next day to make sure they don't need anything.”

The service provides emotional support, not counselling.

Sometimes help may be only one phone call, though other situations may include periodic contact for several years following a major event.

“What we do, could be something like a one-time call with a referral to a therapist,” said Goldsbury. “Others, we speak to on a regular basis for years because they grow to like the follow up or continuous calls to check in. It becomes part of something that makes them feel better, knowing that we are thinking about them.”

Another way victim services can help is through court sup-

Temporary fence not a viable option

FROM PAGE 1 neighbours, the soccer balls leaving the park appear to be an inconvenience, wrote Baker in a Feb. 4 memo to council.

In cooperation with the resident and the soccer association, staff considered solutions such as adjusting the angle of the soccer field lines to prevent the property from being behind the goal and suggested moving men’s soccer to another field entirely.

Last year, no adult league games were scheduled in the park.

However, the field is used freely by the public, including “casual” lacrosse and soccer players, as well as dog owners playing fetch and children on the playground, said Baker.

The city advised the soccer league that a temporary fence was no longer an option because of costly wear and tear, and the risk it posed to wildlife after several deer became trapped in the material.

During the April 13 governance meeting, Trail council agreed the best solution to resolve the matter was the installation of a six-foot chain link fence spanning the length of the west side of the soccer field.

The decision was based on municipal insurers identifying a liability potential at the site, which secured $4,900 in the form of a risk management grant.

“We don’t mind a temporary fence like in years past, that seemed to do the trick,” said Dobie. “Kids play in that park all the time, but what happens if one day there is no more soccer on that field?

“Then all you have is a giant chain link fence, so that’s something they have to think about.”

port, such as accompanying the client to hearings, assisting with victim impact statements and completing crime victim assistance forms.

“If family members want us to call them each and every time there's been a court date and an outcome, we do that,” added Goldsbury. “We phone and update them with the next court date and explain what it means.”

Because her office is in the Trail RCMP detachment, Goldsbury offers another valuable service – the ability to seek information if an attending officer is off duty.

“The members are shift workers and may be away from their desks for a week,” she said. “I always tell my clients if you have any questions at all, and the member is off, you don't have to wait to get hold of them – call me.

“When a person is going through a traumatic event, nothing is worse than waiting until the member is on shift. There are so many intense questions and you need to know the answers.

I'll find them out for you.”

According to last year's statistics, the program had 11 brief service calls and opened 213 files including 20 murder-related, 33 sudden deaths, 35 MVAs, 38 assaults, 24 suicides and 81 files varying from fraud, property crime, threats and robbery.

“When you look at the files broken down, it gives people an idea how huge our reach is,” said Goldsbury. “There is not just one person in the family that's being helped. Children, wives, brothers and many others become active clients after a tragedy. Those types of events impact many different people and a lot of clients can come from one specific event.”

There is one thread that runs through each heartbreaking incident – there is no script for what to say when someone has been victimized or suffering through loss. Sometimes you just have to be, there is nothing you can say.

“That's the most important thing to know,” said Goldsbury.

“Our whole goal is about relationship building in the community and to let people know that we are here.”

Jumbo put on hold

By Bill Metcalfe Nelson Star

BC’s environmental assessment office has ruled that the construction last fall of a concrete pad for a day lodge on the Jumbo Glacier Resort site must stop because its location in an avalanche zone does not comply with the terms of the project’s environmental certificate.

In an April 24 letter to the developer, Glacier Resorts Ltd., the environmental assessment office’s compliance officer Autumn Cousins stated that, “It is the [our] view that it is not possible for [the developer] to achieve compliance … with the two structures as currently located.”

The environmental certificate—the government document that says the project can go ahead, with environmental conditions—expired in October and can only be renewed if the Minister of the Environment decides the project was “substantially started” at that time.

Environment minister Mary Polak inspected the site in October but has not yet made a decision on whether it was substantially started.

If Polak decides the project was not substantially started, the project will have to g apply for another environmental certificate. If, the minister decides in the developer’s favour, construction may continue.

Provincial

B.C. didn’t infringe on teachers’ contract rights on class size: court THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - A bitter battle between British Columbia teachers and the provincial government is headed for the Supreme Court of Canada after legal tussles and school strikes had both sides vying for public support.

The province’s highest court ruled Thursday that the government did not violate teachers’ charter rights to bargain class size and composition, reversing a lower-court decision in favour of the union.

The B.C. Teachers Federation said it will seek to appeal the latest decision in Canada’s top court.

“All teachers are asking for are workable, teachable classrooms,” said union president Jim Iker. “We’re asking for the government to give us the resources that will help us do our work - teaching our stu-

dents.”

“Our children deserve the best but they’re not getting it from this government.”

Iker vowed to seek appeal just moments after Premier Christy Clark hailed the court decision, saying it’s a chance for both sides to put a 13-year dispute behind them and work together.

Four of the five judges said the findings of a lower court, which determined the province had failed to consult the union in good faith, were based on legal and factual errors.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has twice ruled the government infringed on teachers’ rights when it removed their ability to bargain class size and composition with separate legislation in 2002 and in 2012.

Judge Susan Griffin ruled last January that the 2012 legislation was unconstitutional. She also read hundreds of pages of

confidential cabinet documents and concluded the government negotiated in bad faith and deliberately planned to provoke a strike.

The appeal court overturned that decision on Thursday.

“In our opinion, the legislation was constitutional,” the judges said in written reasons.

“Between the consultations and the collective bargaining leading up to the legislation, teachers were afforded a meaningful process in which to advance their collective aspirations. Their freedom of association was respected.”

Dissenting Judge Ian Donald wrote that the legislation did infringe the charter and agreed with the trial judge that the province had failed to consult the union in good faith.

Clark, who was education minister in 2002, said the government was very pleased with

the court decision.

“Today, what we have is a unique opportunity,” she said.

“The question for all of us is what we will do with that unique opportunity. Let us take up that call and work together.”

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said moving past the dispute will allow teachers and the government to move toward improving outcomes for B.C. students.

Both Clark and Fassbender made their comments before learning the BCTF would attempt to appeal the decision.

Iker said the union has been awarded about $2 million in previous court decisions, which he expects will have to be paid back to the government.

He shrugged off questions about how much various court actions have cost the teachers’ union and said a Supreme Court of Canada appeal would be paid

for with members’ dues.

“We’re absolutely committed to take this to a higher level. It’s important for our students, it’s important for our members, it’s important for all working people across this province,” he said.

The appeal court also released a separate, unanimous decision Thursday, ensuring that confidential cabinet documents that were revealed in the trial would be kept secret.

Griffin had ruled that the union could share with members its written submissions, which included quotes from private government documents, but the appeal court overturned that decision.

The court case emerged as one of the main sticking points last year when a teachers’ strike closed schools earlier in June and delayed the start of classes in September until the union signed a six-year deal.

Province’s top doc counters feds on medical marijuana

B.C.’s provincial health officer is defending the value of marijuana as a medicine after federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose urged the City of Vancouver to shut down all local pot dispensaries rather than regulating them.

Dr. Perry Kendall took issue with various federal policies on pot in an interview with Black Press, particularly Ambrose’s suggestion marijuana doesn’t have the utility of approved pharma-

ceuticals.

He said there’s “a growing body of evidence” that cannabis is effective as an appetite stimulant, an anti-nauseant and as a chronic pain killer, including against spastic neurological conditions like ALS, among others.

And he suggested access to medical marijuana saves lives when it supplants other pain control drugs that are more dangerous and addictive.

actually have about a 20 per cent lower overdose death rate from opioid prescriptions than states that don’t have access to medical cannabis,” he said.

“It’s probably a lot less dangerous than opioids are – less than morphine would be or Oxycodone, which can be highly addictive and quite lethal.”

Unlike either alcohol or opiates, Kendall noted, “there is no lethal dose of cannabis.”

He said the Supreme Court of Canada was sufficiently persuaded 10 years ago that a medical exemption for marijuana was justified and Health Canada’s own website outlines various studies on its medical applications,

which he said range from “weak” research to “quite convincing.”

Kendall said there’s also growing evidence that some young children who suffer from seizure conditions respond better to cannabis than any other medication.

He acknowledged that doctors and their professional organizations are divided on their comfort level in prescribing medical pot, how to make those decisions and the liabilities that may flow.

Ambrose’s central argument against storefront dispensaries is that they normalize and encourage pot use for teens who are more vulnerable to its risks.

Kendall agreed developing young

minds shouldn’t be exposed to pot – or alcohol or other drugs.

He said young people who use any of those substances heavily at an early age are at greater risk for future problems.

“There is some evidence that links heavier cannabis use at a younger age with psychosis and perhaps early onset schizophrenia,” Kendall said, adding it’s unclear if the link is causal or reflects users who are self-medicating their existing conditions.

“Infrequent use, as with alcohol, is certainly less harmful.”

He noted Colorado has seen a huge increase in the number of medical marijuana dispensaries

over several years yet marijuana use among youth has actually declined slightly.

Kendall made the comments as final arguments were set to begin Thursday in a court challenge of new medical marijuana regulations imposed by the federal government to outlaw home growing by approved users and force them to buy only from licensed commercial producers.

Asked if he takes issue with any elements of the federal policy on medical marijuana, Kendall listed the ban on home grows, which he said has pushed up the price of the drug for low income patients.

He also took aim at the federal policy that medical pot only be sold in the form of dried leaves, which is also being challenged

in court.

“Smoking is not the best way of getting marijuana because you get all the combustion products in your lungs,” Kendall said, noting many users would prefer to buy oils, capsules or edible products, which may also offer a more gradual delivery of the active ingredients.

Kendall has been an advocate in the past of some form of legalization and he isn’t wavering now.

“It would be preferable to create a regulatory framework to direct product to informed adults who wanted to use it and are going to use it anyway,” he said. “You could control the price, you could tax it, you could hopefully develop a legitimate market and potentially take it out of the hands of criminal gangs.”

National Newfoundland

Budget ups taxes, fees THE CANADIAN PRESS ST. JOHN’S, N.L. - Taxpayers in Newfoundland and Labrador are going to pay more as the provincial government looks for ways to cope with a downturn in oil and commodity prices in the budget it tabled Thursday.

The most noticeable tax change is an increase in the harmonized sales tax, which jumps by two percentage points to 15 per cent on Jan. 1, 2016.

Even with the new revenue, the government’s $8.1-billion budget for 2015-16 still forecasts a $1.1-billion deficit.

Finance Minister Ross Wiseman said the budget reflects the province’s economic reliance on resources.

“We’re optimistic that oil will recover, commodity prices will recover,” he told a news conference. “We’re a resource province, and one of the challenges of being a resource province, you’re exposed to those kinds of vulnerabilities.

“What we’re trying to do now is manage our way through that process.”

Wiseman is also forecasting deficits totalling $1.6 billion for the next three fiscal years, with economic contraction and higher unemployment through 2018.

The budget includes 35 fee hikes on everything from drivers’ licences to public swimming. The higher fees are expected to raise about $18 million.

The government is also bringing in new tax rates for the highest income earners.

Ontario

GM to cut 1,000 jobs THE CANADIAN PRESS OSHAWA, Ont. - General Motors says it will cut about 1,000 positions from its Oshawa, Ont., manufacturing operations this year as the company plans to spend billions of dollars to boost its U.S. operations.

By December, GM Canada’s main assembly operation is expected to have 2,600 hourly employees - down from 3,600.

GM Canada says it’s working with the Unifor union, formerly known as the Canadian Auto Workers, to offer retirement incentives to eligible workers.

The downsizing is being timed to the end of production of the Chevrolet Camaro sports car, now officially scheduled for Nov. 20. The company says it remains committed to Canada, and will continue to produce five other vehicles in Oshawa.

Unifor has been bracing for a significant downturn since GM announced in late 2012 that it would end production of the Camaro.

“We knew the announcement was coming but it still doesn’t make it any better,” said Jerry Dias, national president of Unifor, adding the union was working to mitigate job losses with a voluntary early retirement program.

He also raised questions about the federal government’s recent sale of GM shares to Goldman Sachs for $3.3 billion.

“Shareholders have rights, shareholders have power, and they just gave it away, which to me was completely foolish. Before they sold any of their shares, they should have solidified General Motors’ footprint in Canada. But they were all about balancing the budget.”

General Motors announced Thursday that it plans to spend US$5.4 billion to improve its U.S. factories during the next three years, creating about 650 new jobs.

In December, the company said it planned to invest US$5 billion to modernize and expand its four factories in Mexico.

Sexualized environment of the military creates a hostile ‘culture of misogyny’ THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Never mind the prospect of enemies on the battlefield - Canadian Forces soldiers face a hostile environment even among their own ranks, says a long-awaited review into sexual misconduct in the country’s military.

Rape jokes, sexual innuendo and language belittling women are among the contributors to a highly sexualized culture - a “culture of misogyny” - in the Canadian Armed Forces that is hostile to women and the lesbian, gay, transgendered, bisexual and queer community, and that is conducive to more serious incidents of sexual harassment and assault, said the report, led by Marie Deschamps, a former Supreme Court justice.

“The (external review) found that there is an undeniable problem of sexual harassment and sexual assault in the CAF, which requires direct and sustained action,” the report says.

“Dismissive responses such as, ‘This is just the way of the military’ are no longer appropriate.”

The military launched the review last year after media reports into what appeared to be a major discrepancy in official records of sexual harassment and

assault cases and what was actually happening inside the Forces.

Deschamps’ review found that soldiers are exposed to elements of sexual misconduct - the use of words demeaning to women as basic units of measurement, for instance - from the moment they join the military.

The attitude is so pervasive that members just become desensitized to it as they move up the ranks, the report said, with officers tending to excuse incidents on the grounds that the military is just a reflection of civilian society.

“As a result of these attitudes, there is a broadly held perception in the lower ranks that those in the chain of command either condone inappropriate sexual conduct or are willing to turn a blind-eye to such incidents,” the report says.

The report contains 10 recommendations, including that the military acknowledge that inappropriate sexual conduct is a problem and put a strategy in place to change the military’s culture.

At the same time as the report was released, the military released its response to it, calling it an “action plan on inappropriate sexual behaviour” that includes a strategic response team deal-

ing with the problem.

The response says the military must do a better job of understanding the issue of sexual misconduct, responding to reports of it, supporting victims and preventing the behaviour in the first place. To that end, they accepted the first two recommendations.

But as for the other eight recommendations, most of which are linked to the need for an independent agency to handle sexual assault and harassment, the Forces said they accept them only in principle.

The military said further study is needed to understand the scope of the problem and what best practices are in order to resolve it.

“The CAF will improve its culture of dignity and respect for all the men and women of the CAF, ensuring that the highest professional standards are maintained,” the response said.

“This is not only a moral imperative, it is also an operational one, for the CAF’s continued success in operations across Canada and around the world depends on the unwavering trust and cohesion amongst all our members, regardless of gender, ethnicity, orientation or background.”

NDP wants Ottawa to ban banks’ so-called pay-to-pay fees THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - The NDP has called on Ottawa to ban so-called “payto-pay” fees charged by Canada’s big banks.

NDP MP Andrew Cash said Thursday that he wants an expanded code of conduct for the banks that is not voluntary.

“Offering the banks a voluntary code of conduct is like telling a cat to regulate its consumption of cat nip,” the NDP critic for consumer protection said.

Ottawa moved to block telecommunica-

tion and cable companies from charging fees for paper bills last year.

However, Cash said the banks were excluded from the legislation.

“You shouldn’t have to pay money to pay your bill; you shouldn’t have to pay money to pay your mortgage; you shouldn’t have to pay money to pay your student loan,” he said.

Finance Minister Joe Oliver said the government has taken action to improve access to low-cost and no-cost banking options.

“Our government believes with better information Canadian consumers can make informed choices which will be in their interest,” Oliver said in response to a question

by Cash in the House of Commons.

In the federal budget this year, the government proposed a new financial consumer protection framework for banks. The changes include a requirement for clear and accurate advertising as well as a cooling-off period for financial products.

Canada’s large

banks have all moved to raise some of the fees they charge customers in recent months.

However, the Royal Bank has attracted the most attention with

its changes set to take affect June 1, including a new charge for pre-authorized and non-scheduled credit card, loan and mortgage payments under certain circumstances.

have just returned from the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments annual meeting held in Nakusp.

It was well attended by elected representatives from our region. This conference provides an excellent opportunity to share learning and experiences with our colleagues as well as to decide which regional issues will be brought to the Provincial annual meeting of municipalities in September.

For the first time, the group decided to prioritize the issues we want to submit. The top issues were: request a provincial review of funding for mental health issues, require local public meetings for issues on Crown lands, increase funding for victim services, and request the Federal government to include marijuana derivatives in the legal program. It was a busy couple of days.

I got a look at Nakusp’s clever micro-hydro unit that generates power off the municipal water supply before it enters the treatment plant and I also toured Nakusp’s new waste-water plant. I never thought I’d find such things so fascinating, but I do!

Rossland council was thrilled to welcome our newest employee: Interim Chief Administrative Officer, Mike Maturo, has hit the ground running. With his extensive municipal experience and deep understanding of Rossland, Mr. Maturo was able to immediately step into the ICAO role.

I am confident with his creative, proactive out-ofthe-box thinking he will have a positive impact on moving Rossland forward.

Our public engagement session for our financial plan was a grand success.

Community Comment had impacted the financial plan.

It was an interactive session with the public getting an overview of the budget and some of the challenges that are ahead.

The response was overwhelmingly positive. The 2015-2019 financial plan is almost finalized!

In March two Rossland council meetings were opened with poetry readings from Almeda Glenn Miller – one poem addressed the need for a resolution to the recreation issue with the City

of Trail. Unfortunately we do not have an update on that situation yet.

Trail is negotiating with the other communities first but we remain hopeful that a mutually agreeable solution will be found.

Trail, Warfield and Rossland as partners in the local sewerage service, can select up to three volunteers to advise the Steering Committee on the development of a new sewage treatment plant that will serve our area. Many to thanks Rossland’s representatives, Elise Pare, Trevor Greene and Alastair Champion for stepping up.

I look forward to meeting the volunteers from Trail and Warfield at the introductory meeting.

The improved plant is a huge project that will benefit us all but it will also be an expensive undertaking for all of our communities. We need to carefully consider our

options.

Watch for members of the Rossland City Council in the Silver City Days Parade on May 9. We’ll be the ones on bikes.

On May 7 I will be helping Mayor Cecchini from Fruitvale dish up ice cream. Talk about collaboration! Please come by and say hello. I’ve enjoyed getting to know my fellow mayors better as we carpool to meetings and bounce ideas off each other. I appreciate their wise counsel.

The Liberal leader’s message?

His ads are being paid for by the Liberal party. Government ads are paid for with your money.

So, what constitutes an ad that strays too far into partisan messaging? There’s no better example than a current one that highlights tax savings for Canadians. Amid a montage of shiny, happy Canadians going about their lives, a narrator describes a number of familyoriented tax benefits. One in particular sticks out: “a proposed credit for families with children under 18.”

With that one word — “proposed” — the Conservatives crossed the line from government services to partisan campaigning. If a service is not yet available, it does not qualify for publicly funded advertising. It is still a matter before Parliament, which is where party politics plays out.

It’s not the first time, either.

As the Ottawa Citizen pointed out last fall, the government paid for ads during the 2013 NHL playoffs that ran more than 200 times.

“More than $1 million was spent on playoff ads promoting a Canada Job Grant program that, at the time, did not even exist.”

The questionable advertising has even caught the eye of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, which has strong ties to the Conservative party.

Director Aaron Wudrick sees a simple solution, one that’s already been implemented in Ontario.

“Rather than leave politicians in a position to succumb to this temptation,” Wudrick said in a release last month, “there’s a relatively simple way to ensure ads are nonpartisan: put an independent third party in charge of vetting proposed government ads.”

We couldn’t agree more.

An editorial from the St. John’s Telegram Justin Trudeau may not have quite hit the mark with his advertising campaign about advertising campaigns. But he is definitely on the right track.

For the past number of years, the Conservative government has been running ads touting government services. This, of course, is permissible, as long as the ads stick to the plot.

No partisan messages — just informing the public.

The Liberals have estimated the Harper administration has spent about $750 million on government advertising since 2006.

The thing is that it’s not unusual for any party in power to push the limits of objectivity in such campaigns. In the past two years, for example, the government has been plugging services for veterans, an obvious attempt to counter criticism over poorly handled cuts to

ture thereafter, Danielle Smith and her caucus made life very uncomfortable for the government. Mounting an attack from the right, the dominant narrative ensured that the criticism was taken seriously.

A measure of how accurate this narrative is comes from the reaction of Albertans during the last election campaign.

Faced with the prospect of a government that would put into practice the sort of tough love, market-oriented measures deemed necessary, voters fled into the arms of Alison Redford who campaigned as a Red Tory.

No matter, Wildrose must be credited with legitimizing opposition in this province.

Suddenly, dissent is legitimate and criticism of government is not treason; instead, it is a healthy part of democracy.

This is the most fundamental difference between 2012 and 2015: Albertans who have witnessed the benefits of effective opposition are no longer as easy to manipulate.

What might happen May 5 is impossible to predict because polling now is so unreliable.

Will the PCs and Wildrose split the vote leaving an opening for the NDP? Or will the NDP prove a bridge too far for many Calgarians providing an opportunity for the beleaguered Liberals (who do have a core of support), the fledging Alberta Party or even the Greens?

I won’t hazard a guess as to the outcome Tuesday night.

However, it is bound to be the most exciting and unpredictable election this province has had in living memory.

This is why worry beads must be in great demand in the PC camp.

Taylor Swift

Cancer-stricken girl gets call from music star THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO - The family of a 12-year-old Chicago girl with cancer says Taylor Swift called her to talk about music, touring and the disease.

Ed Beazley said Swift chatted with his daughter, Emily, for about 10 minutes Wednesday.

Emily has non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Friends and family have been appealing to Swift via social media to call Emily, including a video with about 200 children singing and dancing to Swift songs.

Emily’s mother, Nadia Beazley, says her daughter had “the biggest smile” and “jumped up and down” after the Grammy Award winner’s call.

She says Swift’s manager offered the family tickets and a chance to meet the singer at her Detroit concert May 30.

Swift announced this month that her mother has cancer.

Calvin Peete

Most successful black golfer before arrival of Tiger Woods, dies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA - Calvin Peete, who taught himself how to play golf at 24 and became the most successful black player on the PGA Tour before the arrival of Tiger Woods, died Wednesday morning, the PGA Tour said. He was 71.

The tour did not have a cause of death.

Murray Brothers Funeral Home confirmed it was handling the arrangements but did not release additional information.

Peete won 12 times

on the PGA Tour, mainly on the strength of his uncanny accuracy off the tee. Peete led the PGA Tour in driving accuracy for 10 straight years starting in 1981, and he captured the Vardon Trophy over Jack Nicklaus in 1984. He also played on two Ryder Cup teams.

More impressive than his record, however, was the journey to compete - and beat - the best in golf.

in the fields in Florida to make money for his family. He eventually financed a station wagon from which he sold vegetables and other goods to migrants. He wasn’t interested in golf, even at the prodding of friends. Peete had spent enough time in the hot sun.

According to a 1983 profile in The New York Times, Peete became interested when he saw how much money golfers were making.

He first took up the game in Rochester, New York, when he was 24. Within six months he was breaking 80, and a year later he was breaking par.

Even more remarkable is that Peete had a left arm he couldn’t fully extend. He had fallen from a tree and broken his elbow as a kid, and it was never properly set. That didn’t keep him from developing a repeatable swing that always seemed to find the fairway.

“Some of the players still drive farther than I do,” Peete told The Times in the 1983 profile. “But I’m

Peete became the fourth black player to win on the PGA Tour, joining pioneers like Pete Brown, Charlie Sifford and Lee Elder.

Four years after finally earning a card, he won the Greater Milwaukee Open in 1979 by five shots over Lee Trevino, Victor Regalado and Jim Simons. He finished 27th on the money list that year and cracked the $100,000 mark ($122,481) for the first time.

Peete won four times in 1982, tied for the most titles on the PGA Tour that year with Tom Watson and Craig Stadler. He won the Vardon Trophy for the lowest stroke average in 1984, and his biggest victory was a year later when he captured The Players Championship.

Peete finished his career with over $3.2 million in earnings from the PGA Tour and Champions Tour.

He was inducted into the AfricanAmerican Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame in 2002. He also had a degree. A few years after his first PGA Tour victory, he returned to Detroit to take the General Equivalency Diploma test.

“I love this game,” Peete said in the Times profile. “You’re out in the fresh air and you can meet good people, like the President of the United States - I once played a round with President Ford and you have a chance to make $400,000 a year.”

Is monitoring Campaign to wipe out polio succeeding: UNICEF blood glucose in Type 2 Diabetes effective?

T

ype II diabetes management should focus on weight management, appropriate nutrition, regular physical activity, and blood pressure control, rather that intensive glucose lowering treatment.

Since this early 1980s, self-monitoring has been used as a tool for supporting blood glucose and diabetes management. While the role of blood gluDr. Jeffrey cose monitoring in people taking insulin Naturopath is accepted because of the high risk of severe hypoglycemia, there is considerable controversy about the value of home blood glucose monitoring in patients with type 2 diabetes who are not receiving insulin.

Are the costs of self monitoring in Type II Diabetes Beneficial?

Most adults with type II diabetes managed on oral anti-diabetes drugs do not require routine testing. Periodic testing in selected patients (e.g. those with unstable glucose levels, acute illness, drug changes, risk of low blood glucose) should be linked to specific patient actions (e.g. prevention or management of hypoglycemia, self-directed dosage adjustment) Most adults with Type II diabetes controlled by diet alone should not require self monitoring of blood glucose levels.

Internationally, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, and Scotland have undertaken studies have reached similar conclusions Using self monitoring in non-insulin treated patients with Type II diabetes is very costly and has not been shown to improve outcomes that matter to patients: death or quality of life.

Most non-insulin treated patients with Type II diabetes do not require routine self monitoring of blood glucose levels.

Naturopathic Medicine offers solutions for Type II diabetes including weight loss programs, appropriate diets and exercise regimes.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The nearly three-decadeslong battle to wipe out polio is making significant progress and may be poised for success, leaders in the campaign said Thursday.

“Our consensus in the polio community is that we’ve never been in a better place to hold hopes of being able to eradicate this disease once and for all,” said Peter Crowley, UNICEF’s head of polio, during a media briefing on the state of the program.

Crowley and others quickly noted, though, that it is too soon to declare victory. All who have worked on the polio program know that with this wily virus, complacency is a dangerous state of mind. Too often gains have been followed by devastating setbacks.

To date this year there have only been 23 cases of polio recorded, in only two countries - Pakistan and Afghanistan. Last year at this time there had been 68 cases spread over eight countries.

Adding to the optimism is the fact that Nigeria has not reported a single case in more than eight months. Africa’s most populace country is one of three remaining countries where polio is considered endemic, meaning spread there

has never been completely snuffed out.

If Nigeria goes 12 months without a case, it will come off the endemic countries list, leaving only Afghanistan and Pakistan as places where polio viruses are spreading.

To date smallpox is the only human disease that has ever been eradicated. Buoyed by the success of that program, four partners embarked on a bid to rid the world of crippling polio in 1988.

Their goal was to complete the task by the

year 2000.

The four original partners were the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the service club Rotary International.

The Gates Foundation joined the fight later.

Aziz Memon, the chair for Rotary’s PolioPlus committee in Pakistan, said renewed efforts to secure the safety of vaccination teams appear to be working.

The current target for extinguishing polio is the end of this year.

“You can barely tell the difference. It makes it a little bit different than a traditional a cappella show, which can get a little bit tiring on the ears.

Female u18 bc cup

Wildcat trio off to provincial camp

By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

A trio of Midget AAA Kootenay Wildcats are taking the next step to B.C.’s elite hockey program.

Kendra Waterstreet of Fruitvale, Merissa Dawson of Nelson, and Cranbrook’s Tiana Ewasiuk were identified by BC Hockey evaluators over the course of the season and invited to the U18 BC Cup in Richmond this week.

From left: Kendra Waterstreet, Tiana Ewasiuk and Merissa Dawson attended the U18 BC Cup in Richmond this week. The camp invites the top players in the province to compete for a spot on the women’s U18 Team BC.

The Female U18 High Performance camp is one of the final steps in determining Team BC that will compete at the U18 National Women’s Hockey Championship.

Waterstreet, who just turned 16, is a skilled forward with a heavy shot that led the Wildcats in goals, 7, last season, while the dynamic Ewasiuk, 17, netted the most points, 10, for the Cats. Dawson, 16, meanwhile, is one of the Cats top defenders that also contributed offensively last season, leading defence in points with two goals and two assists.

The event features the top 80 players from BC Hockey’s Female Midget AAA league, and are split into four teams. The camp began on Wednesday and will go through until Sunday.

The players were put through fitness tests Wednesday evening followed by practice and seminars on Thursday and Friday, and will be evaluated during a series of exhibition games on the weekend.

Shortlisted players will attend two more camps this summer, where Team BC will ultimately be selected.

BC Hockey’s Female High Performance Program was established to identify and train athletes and team personnel for possible participation at provincial, national and international events. The Female U18 level is the third and final stage of the High Performance Program. It is an opportunity for the top players in the province to train and compete at an elite level and is meant to introduce players to the beginning of the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence.

Follow all the BC Cup action live via Twitter @BCHockey_Female and on the BC Hockey mobile app for both Android and Apple. Statistics will also be available on the events page of the BC Hockey website, bchockey.net.

Penticton advances to final

By Times Staff The Penticton Vees will play in the Western Canada Cup (WCC) final on Saturday following a 3-1 victory over the Melfort Mustangs on Wednesday at the Casman Centre in Fort MacMurray.

Following a disappointing 3-2 loss to Portage Tuesday, the Vees bounced back to finish the round-robin portion of the tournament with three wins and one loss and guarantee a spot in the final and potential berth in the RBC Cup. “We challenged our guys,” Vees coach Fred Harbinson told a WCC reporter after the game. “We just talked and we weren’t very happy with our performance yesterday (Tuesday), a lot of it had to do with what Portage did, but you can’t take anything away from them, I just thought we were a little off in a few different areas. I thought tonight we were way more structured, had a lot more energy, and just got off to a much better start.”

Patrick Newell netted the winner at 3:43 of the second

period and was named player of the game for the Vees.

Newell caused a turnover at the Vee blueline and broke in on a 2-on-1 with Demico Hannoun who feathered a perfect pass over the d-man’s stick to Newell, who made no mistake going top corner on Melfort goalie Richard Palmer.

Like their early victories to start the tournament, the Vees came out flying and hit the scoresheet first. Connor Chartier’s stick shattered on an attempted shot from the slot and the puck squirted to Dakota Conroy at the side of the open net, beating the Mustangs goalie 4:41 into the game.

After two periods of play, the Vees outshot the Mustangs 29-15, and if not for the stellar play of Palmer the game could have been out of reach. The Mustangs would then make it interesting when Tristan Frei scored his second goal of the tournament at 13:53 of the third on a tap-in at the crease. But Chartier secured the victory with an empty net goal with 10 seconds remain-

ing. Penticton goalie Hunter Miska turned aside 22 shots, while Palmer stopped 40 in the losing cause for the Mustangs.

On Thursday Melfort, 1-2, played the 2-1 Fort MacMurray Oil Barons. The Oil Barons are tied for second place with the Portage Terriers who took on the Spruce Grove Saints, but scores were unavailable.

The second-place team will play Penticton for top spot at the tournament on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. Pacific, with the winner advancing to the RBC Cup. The loser will then play the third place team on Sunday at 2 p.m., to determine the second RBC Cup qualifier.

“We like the look of that trophy,” said Harbinson. “In Penticton we’re all about trying to win championships, and when we get together in training camp it’s about putting up as many banners in our rink as possible. There’s some great historic teams here, and we feel we’re one of them and we’re going into that game and trying to win it.”

AHL playoffs

Twins aid OKC in first round sweep

By Times Staff Montrose twins Connor and Kellen Jones helped lift the Western Conference’s sixth seed Oklahoma City Barons to a three-game sweep of the third seed San Antonio Rampage on Wednesday with a 2-1 overtime victory in the best-of-five American Hockey League (AHL) series.

Kellen scored his first goal of the playoff to give the Barons an early 1-0 lead, and the goal almost stood up as the winner until San Antonio forward Dylan Olsen beat Barons’ goalie Richard Bachman with 59 seconds remaining in regulation.

However, former Prince George Spruce King Jujhar Khaira banged home a rebound 5:01 into overtime to propel Oklahoma City into the second round.

The victory Wednesday was the Barons’ 16th overtime win of the sea-

son and finished off a three-game sweep of the Rampage, who finished first in the AHL’s West Division, while OKC placed third in the 201415 season.

The OT winner came on a Barons’ rush, Mitch Moroz found Matthew Ford with room in the slot, but Ford’s shot from in close went wide and found the end glass. A lively ricochet went to the rookie Khaira stationed at the near post, and he tucked it in before Dan Ellis could get across.

In Game 2, the Barons came back from a 3-0 deficit to tie it with 36 seconds left in the third period and force overtime.

This time Connor Jones would play hero, taking a pass from Ford and beating the Rampage goalie between the legs to complete the comeback, giving the Barons a thrilling 4-3 OT victory.

“In overtime, I don’t even think I yelled for it - I didn’t want to scare him (Ford), but he just put it on my tape, and I had it in my head I was going five hole, so thankfully it went in,” said Connor Jones in a post-game interview with Baron’s TV. Connor also scored in the opening match, a 5-2 OKC victory.

Who the Barons will play in the best-of-seven second round series is still to be determined.

In the other Western Conference series, the Rockford IceHogs beat out last year’s Calder Cup champion Texas Stars in three straight, while Utica Comets lead the Chicago Wolves 2-1, and Toronto Marlies are up on the Grand Rapids Griffins 2-1.

The schedule for Round 2 will be released at the conclusion of the AHL Round 1 series.

V

ery disappointing to see the Detroit Red Wings generally outplay the Tampa Bay Lightning and yet lose the game and the first round series Wednesday.

The loss means the Canadiens must play a T-Bay team that

has won every game between the two this season rather than one they swept - a team with a high powered offence versus the Habs’ lack of an offence at all - which prompts foreboding in us Habs fans, “All World Carey Price,” notwithstanding.

Not born here, but connected to and liked here, is second-year defender Danny Dekeyser, the former Smoke Eater who topped Detroit blue liners in minutes played, ramping those minutes up in the final game when the other top-two guy, Niklas Kronwall, was suspended.

This all means, I guess, that only fans of remaining teams, particularly Montreal, Calgary and Chicago, will have much rooting interest in the remainder of the playoffs - along with a large cadre of HAB NOT whiners who will cheer the Lightning or any other opponent when the Canadiens take the ice.

religion Pope echoes feminist anthem in lesson on family life: Equal pay for equal work THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis added his voice Wednesday to the feminist anthem of equal pay for equal work, saying it’s ``pure scandal’’ that women earn less than men for doing the same job.

Francis also lambasted the attitude of those who blame the crisis in families on women getting out of the house to work. He said such attitudes are a form of ``machismo’’ that shows how men ``want to dominate women.’’

Francis made the comments during his Wednesday general audience, which he has been devoting to different aspects of family life before a big meeting on family issues in October.

Francis said the ``radical equality’’ that Christianity proposes between husband and wife must bear new fruit. ``We should support with decisiveness the right to equal pay for equal work,’’ he said. ``Why is it a given that women must earn less than men? No! They have the same rights. The disparity is pure scandal.’’

Francis has spoken out frequently about how the Catholic Church in general must give greater value to the ``feminine genius,’’ and has called for women to take on greater decision-making roles in the church, though he has ruled out women’s ordination or having women head Vatican congregations.

Only about 18 per cent of Holy See employees are women, up from 17 per cent four years ago.

Currently, only two women hold the rank of undersecretary in a Vatican department.

While speaking out about the need for a greater role for women in the church, the 78-year-old Argentine Jesuit has raised eyebrows with some seemingly tone-deaf comments: He has said Europe in many places resembles an ``infertile’’ grandmother. He has urged nuns not to be ``old maids.’’ And he once welcomed new female members of the church’s most prestigious theological commissions as ``strawberries on the cake.’’

On Wednesday, he came to women’s defence.

He took the biblical Adam to task for having blamed Eve for having given him the forbidden apple. ``It’s always the women’s fault,’’ Francis said sarcastically. ``Poor woman! We must defend women!’’

Trail & District Churches Observance Of The Law Is Not Necessary For The Forgiveness Of Sins

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.

“When they heard this they were silenced. And they glorified God, saying, ‘Then, to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance unto life’” (Acts 11:18).

This was a great and theologically important discovery of the Church, that uncircumcised Gentiles who did not keep the law have also been granted by God “repentance unto life” (Acts 11:18). Previously they thought that Christ was only for Jews and that to receive forgiveness and the gift of the Holy Spirit one needed not only faith but also the works of the law. They thought that both faith and works were necessary as a precondition for receiving this gift. Hence when they saw that the Gentiles also received this same forgiveness and gift of the Holy Spirit only by faith, without works of the law, they were astonished, and began to realize that only faith, not also works, was necessary to receive forgiveness of sins from Christ. They saw that faith was the only precondition necessary, not also works.

While St. Peter was preaching to these Gentiles, “the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. The believers from among the circumcised who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God” (Acts 20:44-46).

When St. Peter later explained this to the rest of the apostles and elders, he said, “God who knows the heart bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us; and he made no distinction between us and them, but cleansed their hearts by faith” (Acts 15:8-9). The hearts of these Gentiles were cleansed by faith, because of the death of Christ on the cross, without any works of the law. Only faith was necessary to activate in them the saving work of Christ on the cross that made just an

U.N praises Pope

St. Andrew’s United Church 2110 1st Ave, Rossland Worship at 9am

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY _ The U.N. chief praised Pope Francis on Tuesday for framing climate change as an urgent moral imperative, saying his upcoming encyclical combined with a new round of U.N. climate talks in Paris provide an ``unprecedented opportunity’’ to create a more sustainable future for the planet.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon opened a Vatican conference on the environment that is a key part of the Holy See’s rollout of Francis’ eagerly awaited encyclical – a pope’s most authoritative teaching document – which is expected in June.

Ban told Vatican officials and faith leaders from several different traditions that there is large consensus between religious leaders and scientists that climate change is real, that humans must change their behaviour to stop it and that ``protecting our environment is an urgent moral imperative and sacred duty for all people of faith and conscience.’’

Even though the encyclical is still weeks from publication, conservatives in the U.S. have criticized Francis for using the document to delve into global warming, accusing him of adopting a radical green agenda that a religious leader has no business doing.

adequate reparation for their sins. So the apostles concluded along with St. Peter, that we are saved by God’s grace, because of Christ’s death, through faith, without works. “But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will” (Acts 15:11).

This was a great discovery for the Church, and it is of great theological importance. To receive the forgiveness of sins, justification, and the gift of the Holy Spirit we do not need any works. It all comes to us only through faith, without works. And this faith comes to us by hearing the preaching of the good news that Christ died for our sins (1 Cor. 15:3) to make reparation for them (2 Cor. 5:21; Rom. 3:25; 1 John 2:2) by suffering for them on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24). In raising him up, God showed that he accepted his sacrifice of reparation, and so we simply need to believe in Christ and his work on the cross to receive forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. No work of the law is necessary to receive this forgiveness. This forgiveness and justification is not something we can earn by our works. All that is necessary for justification is to believe in Christ and the power of his death on the cross to make reparation for our sins.

Works must then follow our justification and forgiveness of our ever new sins that are always forgiven through our faith without any works. Our works are then the fruit that we produce after we have already been justified and forgiven, and they help us to grow further in holiness. Our works, which are the necessary consequence of our forgiveness and justification, furthermore show that we really do have saving faith and are truly justified, born again, and saved.

It is the Church’s mission to preach to everyone this salvation through faith in the death of Christ on the cross, and to invite all to conversion, baptism, and entrance into the Church for a new life in God. By preaching this in a way that people can clearly understand, we help them more than we could help them in any other way. © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev. Steven Scherrer www.DailyBiblicalSermons.com

daughter’s wedding years ago, an uncle of her new husband cornered her at the reception and strongly suggested she consider adoption “just in case it’s hereditary.”

I’m considering inviting Carol’s mother to lunch and laying the cards on the table, but my other kids insist I need to stay out of it. Even James, who basically agrees with me, says it has to be Carol’s decision.

Is he right? Carol’s parents are going all out for this wedding, and I wouldn’t want a surprise like this to upset them. What to do? -Mother of the Groom Dear Mother: Your heart is in the right place, but you are talking to the wrong people. Your soon-to-bemarried son is the person

who should talk to Carol if he thinks her parents need this information in advance. And while surprises should be kept to a minimum at weddings, we don’t really see a problem here.

Mitch and James won’t be doing anything disruptive, and there’s nothing you can do about ignorant people like your daughter’s uncle-in-law. You are overthinking this. Relax. Trust your son and his bride to handle the details, whatever they are.

Dear Annie: I have a quick tip for your readers: My wife and I receive a lot of junk mail. I take all of the junk envelopes, whether they have been opened or not, put a rubber band loosely around one end, stick a pencil or pen under the rubber band, and leave them where my wife and I write notes or grocery lists.

This works great. We haven’t bought note pads in a year. -- The Villages, Fla. Dear Villages: For folks on a budget, this is a great way to have spare notepaper handy while recycling.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Dear Annie: My youngest son is engaged to “Carol,” a lovely young lady. My oldest son, “Mitch,” lives out of state with his partner, “James.” Both are in the wedding party.

Carol has known Mitch for years, is well aware that he’s gay and has no problem with it. However, I’m relatively sure her parents don’t know, and I’m of the opinion that they need to be told before the big event.

I’ve tried to casually bring it up with Carol several times, and she always smiles and says, “Don’t worry about Mom and Dad,” and then changes the subject.

The truth of the matter is, I don’t worry about them. They are charming people and pillars of the community. But I don’t want them to be shocked at the wedding when meeting the gay brother and his same-sex spouse. Mitch and James are not into public displays of affection, but they’re obviously not going to ignore each other. Considering the idiotic things people can say, I think Carol’s parents need to be prepared. At my

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, May 2, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a loosey-goosey day featuring a buildup of tension with partners and close friends due to the pending Full Moon tomorrow. Fortunately, once the Full Moon peaks, tensions will subside.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You feel the energy building up before tomorrow’s Full Moon, which will be the only Full Moon opposite your sign all year. Patience and politeness are your best recourse.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Romantic partners must be patient with each other today, and parents must be patient with their kids.

Tension is building up today before tomorrow’s Full Moon. It’s just that simple.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) As you well know, the Moon is your ruler, which

Friday, May 1, 2015 Trail Times

is why you feel the energy building up before each and every Full Moon. Today is no exception. Time for dark chocolate.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Be careful. As the energy today builds up before tomorrow’s Full Moon, things will be increasingly accident prone for you.

Tread carefully.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Keep an eye on your cash flow and your possessions today because something erratic might affect you. Protect what you own.

Don’t buy anything other than food or gas today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might feel tension building up between you and others because the Full Moon tomorrow is peaking.

Nevertheless, for most of today, the Moon is in your sign.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Tomorrow the only Full Moon in your sign all year will take place. That’s why you feel nervous and restless today. Oh well, it’s all over in 48 hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be patient with friends, especially female acquaintances. The energy that is building up today is a bit volatile, because it all peaks with the Full Moon tomorrow. Easy does it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might feel tension dealing with parents, bosses and people in authority today. This doesn’t have to happen, but it might. Wait until Monday for things to blow over.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a mildly accident-prone day for you.

Challenges with travel are likely. If you can postpone

travel until Monday, you’ll have a smoother ride.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Stay friends with your bank account so that you know what’s happening today. Some challenges could impact shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt.
