Spiders and snakes! Free flying birds of prey!

All at the Conference Centre, Thursday C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

There’s a climate controlled truck full of reptiles and raptors headed for Kimberley.

This Thursday, December 3, Ray’s Reptile Zoo and The Backyard Conservation Fund of Canada are bringing pythons, rat snakes, tarantulas, scorpions and tortoises, and the Canadian Raptor conservancy are bringing owls, eagles and a peregrine falcon to the Kimberley Conference Centre.

The two groups will present two alternating 30-minute formal presentations that include amazing free flight bird of prey demonstrations.

The shows are described as fun, highly educational and incredible.

In addition to the shows there are 20 live animal exhibits to enjoy with staff to answer questions for you. You will even have an opportunity to touch the animals and take photos, says tour coordinator Derek Young.

“There are lots of hands-on parts to the show. It’s one of the big highlights and the free flight demos are amazing.”

“Give yourself a good 1.5 to 2 hours to see and do everything, the shows are the highlight of this exhibit so DON’T miss them. Bring your camera (no flash photography please), your enthusiasm and enjoy!” says Little Ray.

The Wildlife Festival will run from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday with shows at 1:15/2:45/4:15/ 5:45/7:15 and Canadian Raptor Conservancy Birds in Flight - 2:00/3:30/ 5:00/6:30.

Admission is $12.50 per person with children 2 and under being free.

But Yo u n g says they want the shows to be accessible to all and c o s t shouldn’t be a factor if your family can’t afford it.

“Don’t let finances be a deterrent.

Just email scarycheri@ raysreptiles.com and we’ll come up with a price you can afford. We don’t want you to miss the show.”

Tickets can be purchased at the door.

Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo is the largest animal rescue in Canada and is an accredited CAZA Zoo. 80 per cent. of their reptiles are seized or unwanted pets. The Canadian Raptor Conservancy is an educational facility that teaches the public about birds of prey and their important role in Nature.

The Wildlife Festival is on a tour of B.C. which began in Chilliwack on November 7 and will end next week in Prince George.

There’s plenty of snow on North Star Mountain just waiting for you this weekend.

Let’s go skiing; KAR to open early C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

It’s the announcement every skier in Kimberley has been waiting for — the Kimberley Alpine Resort is opening early.

Scheduled for an opening day of December 12, KAR announced over the weekend that they would open for a preview weekend on December 5 and 6, 2015.

With a few timely dumps of snow and optimum conditions for snow-making, it’s a go, says area manager Ted Funston.

“We are excited to have had such a strong start to the winter in Kimberley, and look forward to welcoming back up our loyal skiers and riders to experience the great snow.

We’ve received about 1.3 meters of snowfall up top year-to-date, and due to the hard work of our summer grooming and winter track-packing crews many runs up on the Easter Chair are skiing well and ready to go!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone up here on December 5th.”

COURTESY KAR

Snow-making has been going very well, especially with the current cold snap.

“El Niño has performed and we’re seeing the snowy benefits of some of the deepest snowfall to date along the Powder Highway of British Columbia. This is the place to be this winter,” says Powder Matt Mosteller, noted Ski Blogger and Resorts of the Canadian Rockies VP of Marketing.

Not all the runs will be open, but a lot of terrain will be available.

The Resort hopes to have the Easter Chair running, as well as the Quad and the beginner Magic Carpet.

COURTESY KAR

Resort staff have tested the runs and declared them ready.

Coach Pierce returns to Interior roots

Homecomings for head coach Luke Pierce and rookie Max Patterson as Ice embark on five-game road trip through B.C. Division Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Though Tuesday night will ultimately go down in the record books as a road game for the Kootenay Ice, it could turn out to be a bit more of a home game than one might expect.

Ice head coach Luke Pierce, hired this summer after the departure of longtime Kootenay coach Ryan McGill, not only spent the better part of the past six seasons as the bench boss for the BCHL’s Merritt Centennials, he grew up in the Nicola Valley and played two years of junior hockey with the club he went on to coach.

When the Ice (6-192-0) take on the Kamloops Blazers (11-9-3-0) in Western Hockey League action Tuesday night at the Sandman Centre, it will mark Pierce’s first return to Interior B.C. as the head coach of a team not named the Centennials.

“It’s weird, I’m not going to lie. It’s extremely exciting,” Pierce said with a smile Monday morning ahead of practice at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook. “I grew up a big Blazers fan in the Jarome Iginla days, Darcy Tucker and all those guys, when they were winning Memorial Cups -- that building was sold out every night.

“It’s cool to be there

as a coach, and especially against a guy like Don Hay -- it’s daunting, but it’s exciting.”

Tuesday night, the youngest coach in the WHL will go toe to toe with the oldest coach in the WHL. On the visitors’ side -- the 32-year-old Pierce is a rookie bench boss with 27 regular season games under his belt.

On the home side -the 61-year-old Hay is a battle-tested coach of nearly 1,200 WHL games and sits second in league history with 637 wins.

If that isn’t enough of a storyline, how about the fact there is expected to be a Luke Pierce/ Kootenay Ice booster club travel to Kamloops for the contest, helping the first outing on a season-long, five-game road trip feel a little less hostile.

A fan bus is expected to depart Merritt for Kamloops Tuesday afternoon, bringing with it a load of fans eager to show their support for the 2013 BCHL Interior Conference Coach of the Year and his new charges.

“It means the world,” Pierce said. “I’m extremely proud of being from Merritt. They’re extremely loyal to the people who have opportunities to move on and represent the community.

from the community in that way, it’s humbling.

Hopefully our guys are ready to give them a good show.”

Pierce isn’t the only man on the Kootenay Ice bus eagerly anticipating a homecoming.

Rookie forward Max Patterson, a 15-year-old native of Kamloops, is set to suit up for his first game in his hometown as a member of the Ice. “It’s really exciting,” said Patterson, a man of few words, Monday morning. “I’m excited to go back. Hopefully it’s a good game. My whole family is coming out and a lot of friends.

“It’s huge. It provides a lot of motivation to show them how you can play.

“We need play our

game. We need to play hard, fast, physical, smart. We need to outwork them.”

Patterson and the Ice will look to snap a threegame skid Tuesday in Kamloops. Though the wins have been difficult to come by for a young squad, Patterson said the presence of Pierce both in the dressing room and behind the bench has been key to keeping steady through turbulent times.

“Every day we know what to expect,” Patterson said. “He’s a good coach.

“Most of all, it’s fun to come to the rink. Everybody loves to come to the rink because we know what to expect.

Dynamiters continue to roll Kimberley claims wins over Columbia Valley and Spokane

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters continued to roll through the competition in KIJHL this past weekend, claiming a pair of 6-2 victories over the Columbia Valley Rockies and Spokane Braves.

Friday, the Nitros (21-3-0-3) travelled north to Invermere to face the division-rival Rockies (15-14-0-0) -- a team putting forth a strong push in the muddied middle of the Eddie Mountain Division.

Veteran Kimberley product Jared Marchi

fired up his weekend on a strong note, tallying a goal and an assist.

Marchi wasn’t the only vet to post a multipoint effort Friday as both Jason Richter and Trey Doell chipped in with a goal and an assist each.

Goaltender Mitch Traichevich earned his fifth victory of the campaign, backstopping his club with a 30-save performance.

Saturday evening back at the Kimberley Civic Centre, Marchi wasn’t a very welcoming host as the Spokane Braves became yet an-

other victim of the 20-year-old’s hot season.

The 5-foot-11, 200pound forward topped his Friday night by firing home three goals and assisting on another.

Through 27 games this season, Marchi has already surpassed his offensive output from 2014-15 (13 goals, 31 points), tallying 15 goals and 36 points.

The overage forward’s career mark came in 2013-14, when he posted 25 goals and 57 points in 43 games.

As it stands, Marchi is well on his way to besting that. With 25 games

remaining, he is on pace to score 68 points.

Between the pipes, goaltender Tyson Brouwer made 22 saves to collect his KIJHL-leading 16th triumph.

Richter bolstered his point totals once again, factoring in on all three of Marchi’s tallies.

The Nitros went 5-for11 on the man advantage over the two wins.

The Dynamiters look to build upon their KIJHL-best record this Friday night when they welcome the Nelson Leafs (13-12-0-1) to the Kimberley Civic Centre.

The 6-foot-4, 187pound Patterson -- a 2014 fourth-round bantam pick (77th) -- has posted two goals and three points in 20 games to start his WHL career.

While Pierce and Patterson return to the B.C. Interior, one of the newest members of the Kootenay Ice joins the club without having left it.

Jesse Zaharichuk, acquired from the Blazers Sunday afternoon in exchange for a fifth-round

pick in the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft, is expected to debut with the Ice Tuesday.

“Jesse’s been in the league,” Pierce said. “I think we can expect him to step in and play a pretty big role right away.

“Both kids seem really excited. The big part is keeping expectations tempered a little bit from our end.”

Also expected to make his Ice debut Tuesday evening is forward Austin Gray, who was acquired Sunday in

a package deal with the Portland Winterhawks.

Zaharichuk is expected to debut wearing sweater No. 11, while Gray will sport sweater No. 20.

The Blazers are fresh off a 7-3 loss to the Prince George Cougars Saturday night.

After Tuesday’s tilt in Kamloops, the Ice carry on through the Interior to visit the B.C. Division-leading Kelowna Rockets (19-6-1-0) Wednesday night.

Mark Creek Lions

From the Lions den For the Bulletin The Mark Creek Lions Club recently completed a washroom and concession project at the newly renamed Lions Park in Marysville (formerly Central Park).

The project was started in the spring of 2015 and completed in time for Marysville Daze in June at a cost of nearly $17,000.

Lion member David Mayes spearheaded the project with assistance from other Lion members and community members.

The plumbing fixtures were donated by Wolseley Mechanical from Cranbrook. Plumbing was supplied by Jim Toth of J.T. Plumbing from Kimberley. The City of Kimberley donated the

electrical supplies and provided many hours of labour in the demolition and construction involved in the project. Price Excavating also provided a pole for the installation of electricity.

Lions members also sold bricks and accepted donations to assist with the project. About

$4500 was raised in this manner.

In other news, the Lions Club will be holding their annual skating parties for Marysville and Lindsay Park Schools on December 9 and 10 at Marysville Arena.

The Mark Creek Lions will be holding their semi-annual 250 draw at the Marysville Pub on Friday, December 4 at 7 p.m.

Funds raised from this draw are given out in the form of scholarships to graduating students at Selkirk High School.

Tickets are $10 each and are available at the Pub or from most Lions members.

Don’t forget the Lions Club meat draws held every Saturday at the Marysville Pub beginning at 5 p.m. Come out and support your Lions Club.

There are few places in British Columbia that are more connected to power generation than Columbia River – Revelstoke. Home to considerable power projects like Revelstoke Dam, and part of the affected area of the Columbia River Basin, we understand this industry, and live daily with its benefits and consequences.

British Columbians have long benefitted from being owners of much of the power generated within this province, and through BC Hydro, a Crown Corporation that has traditionally provided significant dividends to the public purse, we have received access to consistent, low cost power.

Unfortunately, over the last 14 years under the BC Liberals, British Columbians have watched the cost of hydro skyrocket as government forced our Crown Corporation to make decisions that were not in the best interest of either BC Hydro or BC ratepayers.

It is time for British Columbians to make a new choice; a choice for better management of this precious resource, and better energy policy that protects rate payers, manages for sustainability, protects farmland, and moves us toward a green energy future.

POLL WEEK of the

Put forward by the BC NDP, PowerBC is a better plan for a brighter future for British Columbia. I believe that BC’s energy policy must be bold and progressive. We can protect BC Hydro customers from rising rates, produce good-paying jobs close to home, respect First Nations land title, and launch careers in clean energy and retrofit construction, maintenance, manufacturing and high-tech engineering.

PowerBC is about retrofitting public buildings, homes and businesses for energy efficiency, resulting in reduced energy costs and community-based jobs.

PowerBC is about maximizing current capacity in existing dams such as the Revelstoke Dam. Forward-thinking engineering built this structure for future capacity. We can still add one more turbine in Revelstoke Dam which would generate 500 megawatts of new capacity and create 390 person-years of skilled trades employment.

PowerBC is about making significant investments in clean energy. British Columbia is particularly well suited to produce renewable energy and could be an exporter of not

only renewable energy, but of renewable energy technology.

Columbia River – Revelstoke has already embraced a diversity of energy production options that range from the SunMine in Kimberley to the bioenergy facility in Skookumchuk. Across British Columbia, there are tremendous opportunities for geothermal, wind, tidal and solar generation.

With the right leadership, we can build the energy future we want.

Inconvenient truths of climate change P

remier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Mary Polak have joined the thousands of jet-setters in Paris to once again stage negotiations for a global climate treaty.

The embarrassing failures of these United Nations events, such as the one in Lima, Peru last year, have been forgotten.

Canadian TV only showed file images of an effigy of Stephen Harper receiving a “fossil of the day” award for his alleged failure to rein in Canada’s two per cent of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions.

Now Justin Trudeau leads our biggest-ever delegation to COP21, as the Paris meeting is called.

Trudeau hasn’t even begun to develop a plan for Canada, asking provinces to come up with their own first, but he’s already hailed as a visionary.

This is similar to the newly elected Barack Obama, who modestly predicted in 2008 that history would record his win as “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”

Perhaps Obama wasn’t completely full of CO2, since in this century, global temperatures have increased by only about a fourth of what UN climate models predicted. This 20-year slowdown of the long run of post-Ice Age warming, which has dominated most of the last 10,000 years, is re-

ferred to as the “pause” or “hiatus.” It is usually explained away with reference to the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or other long-term warming and cooling trends in oceans.

Other countries have put new emission reduction proposals on the table for COP21. Danish environmental economist Bjorn Lomborg did the math, and concluded that if every major emitting country keeps its word this time, the total of all their efforts would reduce global warming by about 0.2 degrees by 2100.

What? A statistically meaningless decrease after 85 years of energy austerity? That Lomborg, he’s just a “denier,” BC VIEWS trying to get more publicity. Oh wait, here’s a study Tom from the Massachusetts Fletcher Institute of Technology that finds the same thing – two tenths of a degree by 2100.

Wobbly climate models aren’t the only problem for global warming alarmists.

NASA recently confirmed that contrary to UN projections, total ice mass in Antarctica is increasing. This is much more likely to slow sea level rise than an Obama or Trudeau speech.

Arctic ice, meanwhile, is rebounding rapidly after receding in recent years. And while UN climate conferences always cause a spike in sightings of people wear-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ing polar bear suits, here’s another inconvenient truth.

B.C. polar bear researcher Susan Crockford reports that the world bear population is up to 26,500, a 50-year high. That Crockford, she’s just a denier…. Oh wait, the International Union for Conservation of Nature “Red List” says that’s about right, and the population trend is no longer “decreasing” but is now “unknown.”

None of this is to deny that our climate is warming, or that the Industrial Revolution and carbon fuel use are part of the picture. It’s the religious zeal, misuse of data and attacks on skeptics that are troubling.

B.C. already leads the country with its small but broad-based carbon tax, about which Clark will boast at every opportunity in Paris. We won’t see the B.C. Liberal government’s final “Climate 2.0” plan until next spring, but their advisory committee wants to start jacking up the carbon tax in 2018.

Northern and Interior B.C. folks are assured they will receive bigger rebates to reflect the fact that they pay more carbon tax to drive long distances in the cold.

And B.C.’s aggressive 2020 greenhouse gas target? The government admits we’re not going to make that, because the economy is growing.

Local writers featured at Kootenay Authors Book Fair For the Townsman

When ten Kootenay authors gather at Lotus Books for the Kootenay Authors Book Fair this Saturday, local columnist and historian Jim Cameron will be one of the event’s special guests. He will be talking about his recently published book, Cranbrook: Then and Now. We caught up with Jim Cameron and asked him a few questions about his book and the weekend’s event: Q: What inspired you to write the book, Cranbrook: Then and Now? A: I’ve been writing about local history in newspapers and magazines for the past ten years. It seemed like now was the time to gather things together into a series of books.

Q: What has been the reaction to your book?

A: The reaction to the book has been very positive since it was released four months ago.

Sales have gone well and I am already making plans for a second printing. It has been a pleasure to meet and talk with people who have read it, especially those whose ancestors figure into the stories.

Q: Why do you think people are so interested in the history of the area?

A: Aside from an interest in history held by many people in general, I think it is a combination of newcomers to the area discovering things about the people and events that have helped make Cranbrook what it is today and, for those whose roots are firmly planted in the area, an opportunity to reconnect with their own past.

Q: What do you think of the upcoming Kootenay Author’s Book Fair?

A: It’s great to have an

opportunity to meet with readers and other authors in such a nice setting like our local bookstore and the folks at Lotus Books who have so much previous experience in creating an event such as this.

Want to ask Jim Cameron some questions yourself or meet any of the other authors at the event? Then drop by the Kootenay Authors Book Fair, hosted by Lotus Books in downtown Cranbrook on Saturday, December 5th, at Lotus Books 33 –10thAvenue South in downtown Cranbrook, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Then starting at 2:00 there will be a series of 3-minute book reviews.

Each author will be given several minutes to review their book and state why it should be added to your bookshelf this year.

“We are really excited to have so many local authors in the store this year. Ten authors is a record for us,” said Erin Dalton, owner of Lotus Books. “It promises be a great event highlighting local writers and books.

We encourage everyone to drop in and meet many of our local area writers.”

Kootenay authors will be in-store all afternoon to sign, chat about and promote their books. A wide variety books will be available for readers to discover including historical novels, adventure stories, tales from yesteryear, stories of personal triumph, achievement and tragedy and personal memoirs This year’s Kootenay author’s lineup includes…

• Special Guest -- Jim Cameron: of Cranbrook.

Popular history buff and Daily Townsman col-

umnist Jim Cameron has produced an exquisite compilation of his newspaper columns about the history and intrigue of Cranbrook’s distance and not-so-distance past. His photo heavy book is called Cranbrook: Then and Now. • Special Guest -Amanda Bath: of Kaslo, author of Disaster in Paradise. Her gripping tale of survival and triumph tells the story of when her mountainside home was struck by the devastating Johnson’s Landing mudslides of 2013.

TORONTO - A Toronto man has recanted what he calls the “royalty part” of the mandatory Oath of Allegiance to the Queen after becoming a Canadian citizen this morning.

Dror Bar-Natan, a 49-year-old math professor from Israel, was one of three permanent residents who challenged the constitutionality of making citizen-

ship conditional on the pledge to the Queen, her heirs and successors.

In upholding the requirement, Ontario’s top court said the Queen remains Canada’s head of state and the oath was a “symbolic commitment to be governed as a democratic constitutional monarchy unless and until democratically changed.”

The court also found

that all citizens have the right to espouse anti-monarchist views and new Canadians could publicly disavow what they consider to be the message conveyed by the oath.

At a citizenship ceremony in east Toronto, Bar-Natan first swore the oath along with some 80 others, then informed the citizenship judge of his intent to disavow the portion of the

oath pledging allegiance to the Queen.

He formally recanted the oath following the ceremony and handed the judge a letter explaining his decision.

Bar-Natan has called the oath “repulsive” and says he hopes his actions pave the way for others who share his view to do the same.

Bar-Natan’s lawyer said he hoped his client’s actions would

draw the new Liberal government’s attention to re-evaluating the wording of the citizenship oath that deals with the monarchy.

In the 1990s, former Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien was set to scrap the oath to the Queen but got cold feet at the last minute, then-citizenship minister Sergio Marchi has told The Canadian Press.

Drinking and driving is a leading cause of death on the roads As a result,

Police have the discretion to issue various driving prohibitions or licence suspensions. This section provides information on each of these sanctions, plus provides information on what the courts can do if you are convicted of impaired driving and the Superintendent’s authority to issue an administrative prohibition if a review of your driving record shows you to be a high-risk driver.

12-hour Roadside Suspensions 12-hour roadside suspensions apply to Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) participants only.

Police will take your driver’s licence and you may not drive

until the suspension period is over and you have retrieved your licence from the police station.

Other consequences: • As part of the Driver Improvement Program (DIP), the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles will automatically review your driving record and can issue you further driving prohibitions if your record proves unsatisfactory.

• If you are found to have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of not less than 0.05 mg/100ml or to be affected by drugs, you will face the regular consequences fully-licensed drivers face.

GLP drivers who receive a driving

prohibition will go back to the beginning of their 12-month (L) or 24-month (N) stage.

24-hour Roadside Prohibitions If police have reasonable and probable grounds to believe that your driving ability is affected by alcohol and/or drugs and you had care or control of a vehicle: • Police can issue you a ‘Notice’ of a 24-hour driving prohibition which will begin immediately.

• It is not necessary that police request a breath sample using an Approved Screening Device for blood alcohol content analysis.

Police are trained to recognize the affects of alcohol on

drivers. However, if, at the roadside, the driver can satisfy police that he or she is not affected by drugs or alcohol a prohibition will not be issued.* • Your driver’s licence will be taken by police and will be held at the police station for you to retrieve at the end of the prohibition period. The driving prohibition starts immediately upon issuance, and remains in effect for a full 24 hours. *You may ask police to test your BAC on an Approved Screening Device if you believe you are not affected by alcohol, however; if the test result indicates your BAC is not less than 0.05, you may face other consequences.

A timely reminder

Are you SURE you know your limit?

Other consequences: • Police can have your vehicle impounded for 24 hours; and you will have to pay all towing and vehicle storage costs before you can retrieve your vehicle.

• Driving prohibitions are kept on your driving record for the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles to review at any time. The review may result in additional sanctions under the Driver Improvement Program or a referral for you to the Responsible Driving Program and / or the Ignition Interlock Program.

Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRPs) – 3, 7,

30 and 90 Days If a peace officer suspects you are affected by alcohol while having the care or control of a motor vehicle they can demand you provide a sample of your breath into an Approved Screening Device (ASD) to measure your BAC. If the officer intends to issue a IRP then the officer is required to offer you a second opportunity to provide a sample of your breath into a different ASD – if the results differ, the lower of the two results will prevail.

If the device reads WARN (Your breath sample contains a BAC of not less than 0.05) police may: • Seize your driver’s licence • Issue you a ‘Notice of Prohibition’

which will start immediately – removing your driving privileges – the length of which depends on prior IRP convictions (if any) • 3-day driving prohibition if it is the first time caught in the warn range; • 7-day driving prohibition if it is the second time caught in the warn range within five years; or • 30-day driving prohibition if it is the third time caught in the warn range within five years.

If the ASD reads FAIL (If your breath sample contains a BAC of not less than 0.08), or if you refuse to provide a breath sample, police may: • Seize your driver’s licence • Issue you a ‘Notice of Prohibition’ which will start immediately – removing your driving privileges for 90 days • Alternatively, you may be served an Administrative Driving Prohibition, and/or charged criminally under the Criminal Code of Canada for Impaired Driving.

Other Consequences: Vehicle impoundment is discretionary (decided at the roadside), for 3 and 7 day prohibitions.

Vehicle impoundment is mandatory for 30 or 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (30-day impoundment period).

Participation in the Ignition Interlock and Responsible Driver Program may be required for 30 and 90-day prohibitions.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The unexpected presents you with many opportunities. You might discover that a far-out idea can go a long way. You’ll want to test out this idea on others. Confusion surrounds a talk.

People might not be as focused as you would like them to be.

Tonight: Play devil’s advocate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Stay centered, especially as others seem to be all over the place.

You will observe how someone gains ground through a process that seems rather far-fetched to you. A conversation with an associate allows you to make needed changes. Tonight: Happy at home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have pushed beyond the norm. You might be feeling tired yet inspired. A meeting could be more important than you realize, as you are likely to experience a meeting of the minds with a friend. Brainstorm away.

Note what comes up. Tonight: Hang out with loved ones.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) How you see a situation could change once you talk to a friend or family member. You should expect the unexpected. Confusion surrounds finances. Make no major decisions, no matter how informed you are. Tonight: Treating yourself well doesn’t mean breaking the bank.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your energy is high, so be willing to test out your choices. News that comes in from someone at a distance will put a smile on your face. Look at the application of your choices, but know that nothing is a given, no matter what you would like to think. Tonight: Out late.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will relate to a loved one directly and get strong results. You might be surprised by what this person says. Do your best not to internalize these comments, especially as he or she is very likely to change his or her mind.

Tonight: Schedule some togetherness time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’ll verbalize what you think

Tundra

and feel. On the other hand, you might want to listen more carefully to news that heads your way. A close friend or loved one might be fiery and somewhat unpredictable. Ride the wave that his or her reaction creates.

Tonight: Where the crowds are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll want to rethink a decision; you might not be as comfortable with your position as you would like to be. Don’t make it a big deal. You can make changes and still maintain a strong influence over others. Act on what you know and feel. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Keep reaching out for more information, especially if you see an element of the unpredictable playing a role in a situation. You might feel as if you don’t have enough information. Listen to what a friend or associate has to share. Tonight: Take a leap of faith.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) One-on-one relating might be the source of a shocking piece of information. Proceed with

caution, as you could be witness to a skeleton walking out of your closet. Communication with a respected friend will allow more give-and-take. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll hear more than your fair share of what is important.

Others seem to use you as a sounding board. However, you could have a sudden reaction to what you are hearing that could shock them. Try to explain your rationale clearly. Tonight: Go along with the program.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be in a position where you want to do something very differently from how you have in the past. Your ability to explain why seems to be lost; you just feel that you need to head in a certain direction. Trust yourself.

Tonight: Run some errands on the way home.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 51-year-old attractive professional, divorced twice and currently engaged to a 58-year-old man who also is twice divorced. We met online and hit it off pretty quickly. He has a magnetic personality, and sex is great between us. He moved in, and I am supporting him financially until he gets his businesses in order. He has had four DUIs and recently spent some time in jail. I have stood by him through this.

He has always been upfront that he likes to view porn a lot and wants to experiment sexually. This doesn’t bother me. But he posted an ad online asking another woman to join us for sex. While we may fantasize about this in the bedroom, he wants to make it real and this makes me uncomfortable.

But he gets angry if I say so. (He also doesn’t like when I mention the money issues between us.)

I have been through a lot over the past few years, including getting out of an abusive marriage. I also have a young daughter at home. Am I being unreasonable about a threesome or should I rethink this situation? -Confused Dear Confused: This guy is unreliable financially and emotionally. He wants you to support him while he indulges himself. His sexual interests do not coincide with yours. He is manipulating and pushing you to do something you don’t want to do. Worse, when you express yourself, he becomes angry.

Based on your history, you might not recognize an unhealthy relationship, so please allow us to point it out: This guy is not partner material. He is not going to be a helpful influence on you or your daughter and there is great potential for abuse. The sex may be great, but it’s not enough to make up for his shortcomings. We urge you to get away from this guy altogether.

Dear Annie: I am writing in response to “Lonely for Life,” the teenager who had few friends and was concerned about being “antisocial.”

I, too, had social anxiety for most of my life. In my 30s, I decided I just couldn’t continue that way. I started off simply by walking down the hall at work, looking people in the eyes and saying, “Good morning.” It was very difficult in the beginning, but became easier. Then I took further small steps in making social contact with others.

It took a number of years to reach an acceptable (to me) level of comfort in social situations. I am in my 60s now and have been teaching for a nonprofit for the past 20 years. Who would have thought I would ever be comfortable standing up in front of others and teaching? I have even spoken at a national conference.

“Lonely for Life” should take slow steps and try to get outside her comfort zone a little each day. It doesn’t happen overnight, but if it can happen for me, then I think “Lonely” can do it, too. -No Longer a Wallflower Dear No Longer: Thank you for your words of encouragement. We cannot remake the world so it suits us. Each of us must make the incremental adjustments to ourselves that will make our lives better.

Study makes case for opening safe-injection sites in Ontario Geordon Omand CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER Opening five safe-injection sites in Ontario makes financial sense, says a medical researcher who based his study on a Vancouver clinic where drug users shoot up under supervision.

Dr. Ahmed Bayoumi of St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto said establishing facilities such as Insite in that city and in Ottawa would save money and reduce the incidence of diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C. “Three facilities for Toronto and two for Ot-

tawa represent a good investment compared to other things that we ordinarily invest in in health care,” he said in an interview Monday.

Insite is North America’s only supervised-injection site, where addicts shoot up their own drugs under the watchful eyes of a nurse to prevent overdoses.

The site provided a baseline for estimating the approximate cost of operating a safe-injection site as well its effectiveness at improving users’ health, Bayoumi said.

Victoria and other cities across Canada

they’re based on Insite being a freestanding clinic, compared to an approach that would incorporate safe-injection facilities into existing health centres.

While the study focused on needs in Toronto and Ottawa, Bayoumi said other Ontario cities could also benefit from such facilities.

“The next step is mostly a political decision rather than a research decision, as in, ‘Is there an interest and a will to actually establish some facilities?”’

Ontario’s health minister said a national strategy to deal with in-

have considered establishing similar facilities.

Montreal announced its intention to open a safe-injection site after a 2011 Supreme Court of Canada decision ruled against the former Conservative government’s attempts to shut down Insite for violating federal drug laws.

Unlike in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Bayoumi said multiple facilities would be more appropriate in Ontario, where populations of drug users are more spread out.

He said the study’s economic estimates are conservative because

Male and female brain not so different: study

Get ready for winter

Malcolm Rit ter ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - Are the brains of men and women truly different?

Not if you look at the overall structure, a new study says.

While specific parts show sex differences, an individual brain only rarely has all “male” traits or all “female” traits, researchers report.

It’s more likely to be a mixed bag: some things are more common in women, some more common in men, and some are common in both.

travenous drug users, rather than a piecemeal approach, would be most beneficial.

“I think that more than anything, this is an opportunity to bring together all jurisdictions and look at this in a uniform way,” Eric Hoskins said.

“We, up until recently, had a federal government that made it clear they didn’t support such sites.

“We now have a government that understands the science and is willing and prepared and wants to make decisions based on evidence.”

That argues against the idea that brains can be neatly divided into two sex-based categories, Daphna Joel of TelAviv University and co-authors conclude.

They published their work in a paper released Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy ofSciences.

They used MRI scans of more than 1,400 brains, focusing on anatomy rather than how brains work. They scored variable traits like tissue thickness or volume in different parts of the brain. They focused on traits that showed the biggest sex differences, dividing the scores into a predominantly male zone, a predominantly female zone, and an intermediate range.

The key question: How often did a brain end up in just one of those three? Such consistency turned out to be unusual, generally found in 6 per cent or less of brains across analyses of several sets of data. It was much more common for an individual to score in both the male and female zones than to show a lineup that indicated only one sex or the other.

The researchers also used a similar approach to analyze psychological and behavioural scores from two prior studies that covered more than 5,000 participants, and again got similar results.

Overall, the results show “human brains do not belong to one of two distinct categories,” male and female, the researchers concluded.
