Ottawa steps into Columbia River Treaty talks A L E X CO O P E R Revelstoke Times Review

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be appointing a negotiator to lead talks on updating the Columbia River Treaty, according to a U.S. Senator from Washington State.

“Prime Minister Trudeau,

Foreign Minister (Stephane) Dion, and I had a positive discussion today,” said Senator Maria Cantwell in a news release last Thursday.

“The Canadian leaders agreed to move forward and appoint a chief negotiator to begin treaty talks. Modernizing this treaty would bene-

fit Americans and Canadians along the Columbia River across the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia,.”

A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed the news, writing in an e-mail that “progress towards establish-

ing a negotiating team was made” during Trudeau’s visit to Washington last week.

“The Government of Canada has been and will continue working closely with the Government of British Columbia to prepare for discussions with the

United States on the future of the Treaty,” wrote Joseph Pickerill.

The Columbia River Treaty was signed in 1964 in order to provide flood control in the United States. In exchange, Canada was given $254 million to build three dams along the river, and

granted a share of profits from extra U.S. power production that resulted from the treaty.

The treaty can be canceled or changed starting 2024, provided one side give 10 years notice to do so.

East Kootenay Urban Deer Relocation project has wrapped up. Let the monitoring begin T R E V O R C R AW L E Y

Folk troubadour John Wort Hannam (right), from Fort MacLeod, was joined onstage by Yukon multi-instrumentalist Bob Hamilton for the Cranbrook Live Concert Series’ final show of the season, Thursday, March 10, at the Stage Door.

The capture process has wrapped up for a regional urban deer translation project, as 60 mule deer have been relocated from four communities to winter range areas.

The project, part of a highly anticipated study being undertaken by Vast Resource Solutions and contributing partners, has been attaching radio collars and translocating urban deer in Cranbrook, Kimberley, Invermere and Elkford to winter range areas.

“We’ve moved all the deer we’re going to move and now we are monitoring the collar data for how the deer fare, where they’re moving, and their survivorship,” said Ian Adams, the senior wildlife biologist with Vast Resource Solutions. “For the most part, the field component for the work is done.”

Adams cautioned that the project is a science-based trial and not intended to be a tool for managing urban deer populations—yet.

“It’s certainly a very complex issue and if this is successful, it allows a non-lethal alternative to reducing numbers, but I don’t think anybody should be suggesting that this is going to solve our urban deer questions,” he added.

Moving 60 urban deer was within the original target, Adams said.

“We had hoped to get 10-15 animals per community. Our objective was to learn from the process, how the process works, not necessarily to move as many deer as possible,” Adams said. “So we were successful in that way. We deployed all our radio collars that we had, 28 radio collars went out. There was one cougar mortality from a Kimberley deer, that collar went out again on a deer from Elkford.”

Free transit access available for low income Cranbrook residents For the Townsman

Low income City of Cranbrook residents are reminded that they can still apply for a free transit pass.

The initiative runs as an additional benefit to the current Leisure Access program first approved by Council in February 2010, which enabled low income residents the opportunity to access public swims at the aquatic centre at a 75% reduced rate to help build a healthier more active community.

Those interested in the program can apply through one of the five partner agencies who are responsible for adjudicating the applications: the Salvation Army, Community Connections Society, Interior Health Mental Health Programs, Ministry of Children and Family Development and the Ministry of Social Develop-

ment and Social Innovation.

Approved candidates will receive the benefits for one year and then would be required to reapply. Individuals, who are already qualified, do not have to re-apply until their current eligibility term expires.

To add the transit access, simply visit the staff at Leisure Services and your current eligibility period will be amended to include transit access.

Information on the program, including eligibility criteria, can be found at each of the partner agencies, Leisure Services (located at Western Financial Place, by visiting cranbrook.ca/our-city/citydepartments/ leisure-services/leisure-access-card/. You can also call Leisure Services staff at (250) 489-0220 (Monday to Friday) to discuss the program.

Police take 130 calls week of March 7-14 F o r t h e Tow n s m a n

Cranbrook RCMP responded to 130 calls for service throughout the week of March 7 (6 a.m.) to March 14 (6 a.m.), according to a press release issued by Staff Sergeant Hector Lee.

• One Immediate Roadside prohibition was issued, and two impaired drivers were reported. Two 24-hour suspensions (both alcohol related) were also issued.

• Four collisions were reported,including one hit-

and-run, resulting in minor damage and minor injuries.

• There were eight responses to Mental Health calls — two individuals were apprehended in total.

• There was one assault complaint, which was do-

mestic in nature.

There were nine incidents of theft, including two bicycle thefts and two incidents of shoplifting.

• No break and enters were reported this week past.

• There were six fraud complaints — one mail scams and two credit card identification thefts. Two local incidents involved a scamster reported on in last week’s Townsman — a man was successful at scamming

$50 from a local citizen but tried it again with someone else, unsuccessfully.

• There were five drug seizures, mostly marijuana, with one psilocybin (mushrooms) seizure.

From relocation to satellite monitoring Continued from page 1

Over the last few months, urban deer were captured using non-lethal traps in urban communities, sedated and transported out to regional wilderness ranges. Of those 60 deer that were translocated, 29 were fitted with radio collars that will send a location to a satellite every 13 hours over the next year and a half—or until the radio collar batteries run out.

If a collar doesn’t move for eight hours, an alert is sent out and Adams assumes the animal has died, which will prompt a trip to the exact location of the collar to determine the cause of the deer’s mortality.

The collar data will provide valuable information to Adams and provincial wildlife biologists to see if migration patterns of mule deer that have been habituated in urban communities follow that of non-urban mule deer.

“Perhaps the next biggest question is whether the translocated mule deer migrate upslope later in the spring,” Adams asked. “Certainly some urban deer stay in town year round, others likely do migrate. It will be interesting to see what the deer we’ve moved do.”

Within the context of using translocation as an urban deer management tool, there are numerous questions remaining.

The translocation project had a number of partners, including significant staff time from provincial wildlife biologists from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

Volunteers and in-kind assistance also included members of local rod and gun clubs, a ungulate anesthesiologist with the University of Calgary and the municiBarry Coulter photo palities themselves, Biologists from Vast Resource Solutions are pictured tagging an immobilized deer during the recent Cranbrook translocation which kicked in some project. The attached radio collar is visible around the ungulate’s neck. funding.

Federal government appointing Columbia River Treaty negotiator Continued from page 1 Both sides have expressed a desire to modify the treaty. In B.C., the province, local governments in the Columbia Basin and First Nations have each submitted recommendations for improvements. In the U.S., legislators have been urging the White House to begin discussions.

Discussions so far have surrounded the compensation B.C. should receive for providing flood control and adding environmental considerations to the treaty. First Nations on both sides of

the border are pushing to restore the Columbia River salmon run as part of the treaty.

So far, Ottawa has largely left negotiations in the hands of the B.C. government. Bill Bennett, the MLA for Kootenay East and the Minister of Energy & Mines, said they are still waiting to hear Ottawa’s position on the treaty, as well as that of the American government.

“We actually have legal authority to be consulted by the federal government and they require our sign off on anything that is negoti-

ated,” he said. “That’s the most important thing for people to understand is the Canadian government doesn’t have the same unilateral authority the U.S. government has.”

Bennett said he expects Ottawa to take the lead on negotiations, “with B.C. right at their elbow providing information and perspective.”

“We certainly would welcome the opportunity to negotiate with the US on improving the treaty,” he said.

“We’re not interested in opening up the treaty, but we’re certainly interested in improving

it.”

Kootenay-Columbia MP Wayne Stetski, noted the work that has been done by the province, local governments and First Nations so far. He said the federal government’s job should be to support the work that’s been done.

“We certainly should not be starting to do it all over again,” he said.

He said the report from Washington was the first news he’d heard about the treaty since being elected in October. “This was the first movement on it that I’ve seen.”

Mimi: Through the looking glass with Selkirk’s ‘Rent’ At For the Townsman

first glance, Rent seems to be about a really cool group of young adults embracing the bohemian lifestyle in the late 80’s in New York. After reading the cast list and seeing that I got the part of Mimi I was thrilled; I was excited to play such an exuberant character with a distinct and cool personality. I thought of all of the killer songs I was going to be singing and how fun it was going to be to perform in a Selkirk production again! Really, a typical first reaction for a middle class, somewhat naive 16 year old high school student!

Then I started researching the story and my character; watching the movie and other productions over and over again.

As part of our prep, Sven Heyde, our director, had us talk about the struggles the characters were going through. We read literature and songs from artists and authors that are referenced in the song La Vie Boheme and other pieces that were relevant to that era.

I then realized that although the characters in Rent are cool, they are far from carefree. They

this and then for the first time we performed with the orchestra and I got chills. It’s all about the music for me. I was able to step completely into the role and embrace the character of Mimi and the powerful theme of the musical. I am so moved when I’m singing about Mimi’s vulnerabilities (no spoilers :), but I can also feel like I’m on top of the world when Mimi’s on a high (no pun intended :) I may not be able to find parallel’s in Mimi’s life and mine, but through the music and lyrics, I can truly feel and Rent runs April 6 – 9 at Mckim portray the depths of her characTheatre ter.

Opinion/Events Obama’s Minimalist Foreign Policy

If

the US Congress had not imposed a twoterm limit on the presidency in 1947 after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s record four electoral victories, President Barack Obama would be a safe bet for a third term next November. He inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression, and now the United States has the healthiest economy of all the major powers, with unemployment back down to 5.5 percent.

But Obama can’t run for president again, so the time has come for the pundits to start delivering their assessments on the success or failure of his policies. First up is Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, with a lengthy article called “The Obama Doctrine” on the man’s conduct of American foreign policy over the past seven and a half years.

As you would expect when discussing a man whose basic rule is “Don’t do stupid shit”, Goldberg’s piece is mostly an examination of what Obama didn’t do, not what he did. He didn’t go to war with the Assad regime in Syria. He didn’t get into a new Cold War with Russia over Ukraine. He didn’t bomb Iran, instead making a political deal to block its nuclear weapons ambitions. He didn’t attack North Korea even when it did test nuclear weapons.

None of these foreign policy choices would be remarkable if we were talking about Japan or Canada or Germany. Even in former imperial powers like Britain and France, where the interventionist reflex is still alive and kicking, Obama’s choices would not be controversial.

But in the Washington foreign policy establishment, where every conflict on the

USA Today

planet tends to be redefined as an American problem and almost unlimited military force is available to attack the problem, Obama’s approach was heretical.

Democrats were just as opposed to his heresy as ReGwynne publicans. Indeed, despite Dyer the wreckage of George W. Bush’s invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq that Obama’s administration inherited when it took office in early 2009, his own first secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, was a classic interventionist.

After she left office in 2013, Clinton told Goldberg that “the failure to build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad ... left a big vacuum, which the jhadists have now filled.” But Hillary Clinton actually got her way on Syria.

The real failure of American policy on Syria in 2011 was the tolerance extended to Turkish, Qatari and Saudi Arabian shipments of arms and money that were intended to subvert the

faltering non-violent revolution and replace it with an armed revolt whose goal was a Sunni Islamic state, not a secular democracy.

Obama and Clinton must share the blame for the fact that the United States became part of this operation in early 2012, providing arms that it sourced from Libya to avoid Congressional oversight. By then the non-violent protests had been largely suppressed and Syria was stumbling into a civil war — which subsequently killed 300,000 people and turned half the country’s population into refugees.

Most Syrians would now agree that it would have been better to accept the failure of the non-violent movement and the continued rule of the execrable Assad regime than to see their country virtually destroyed. I suspect that Obama sees Clinton’s Syrian policy, in hindsight, as the greatest mistake of his time in office — but he did partially redeem himself by refusing to bomb Syria during the “poison gas” episode of 2014.

Clinton also told Goldberg in 2014 that “great nations need organising principles,

and ‘Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organising principle.”

Nobody said it was, but it is a good guide when deciding on actual policies, and Obama has been pretty consistent in observing it even with regard to the Middle East.

His fundamental insight — and his greatest break with the orthodoxy of the American foreign policy establishment — has been to understand that very little that happens or could happen in the Middle East is a threat to America’s vital interests. Even Israel’s well-being is only a sentimental consideration for the United States, not a strategic one, although like all American politicians he is obliged to pretend otherwise.

Only if the Islamist extremists of the Nusra Front and Islamic State were to overrun all of Syria would Israel be in any danger, and the Russian military intervention in support of Assad’s regime since last September has largely eliminated that possibility. So Obama has been free to concentrate on the issues that he thinks are really important, and that is where he has made real progress.

His foreign policy has been minimalist only with regard to the traditional “strategic” concerns inherited from the Cold War and America’s long, deep and mostly futile engagement with the Middle East. In his “pivot” to Asia, in reestablishing ties with Cuba, above all on the issue of climate change (which he rightly sees as the crucial issue for the next generation and beyond), he has been an activist in his foreign policy — and a largely successful one.

Neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump, the two main contenders for the succession, will be a patch on him.

Tips to combat rising food costs It Nadine Baerg

is becoming more difficult all the time for Canadian families to put healthy and satisfying meals on the table. We’ve experienced rising food costs over the past year and this is forecasted to continue throughout 2016. According to the Guelph Food Institute the highest price increases will be fruit, vegetables and meat.

Knowing this how do you maximize your food dollars?

Grocery stores want shoppers to buy products on impulse and therefore spend more. Plan ahead by checking prices and making a grocery list in order to avoid spending money unnecessarily. It is also a great idea to prepare larger meals, this way you can buy in bulk to save money and then freeze left-

overs for lunches and dinners.

To cut costs and boost your nutrition intake remember to use fruits and vegetables that are in season. Try to buy in bulk when prices are low and freeze or preserve to have on hand year round. At certain times of the year frozen or canned fruits and vegetables may be cheaper than their fresh counterparts.

Freezing is an especially good method for preserving nutritional value and remember to choose canned products with little or no added salt and sugar. Cook with root vegetables – such as turnips, parsnips, potatoes and carrots – by boiling, baking or microwaving.

Using protein alternatives at least two to three times per week is also a great idea as meat is often the most expensive part of a meal. Pulses are a great source of nutrients

and fibre and they provide good quality protein to keep you full for longer. You can either soak and cook dry beans, which is the cheapest option, or buy canned beans if time and convenience are a factor. If you are using meat, buy tougher pieces such as a chuck roast and use in roasts or stews.

Finally, use the Interior Health Store It Guide to prevent food wastage by helping your produce stay fresh longer. Just search for ‘Store it’ on the Interior Health website and you will find some great information and a helpful chart to post on your fridge — plus you will find out why it’s good for onions to wear pantyhose!

Welcome to B.C., freeloaders

As

the B.C. government spends millions on an international brand campaign with the recycled slogan “Super, Natural B.C.,” another brand identity has spread across Canada.

This one’s unintentional. It hit a new peak last week with the arrival of two young men from Saskatchewan, who were given one-way tickets to Vancouver and Victoria by typically burdened social services ministry staff in North Battleford.

Sorting through the blizzard of soothing sound bites and sympathetic TV clips, a clearer picture emerges.

In his initial interview with the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, Charles Neil-Curly, at 23 the elder of the two, said he decided to head west when shelter staff told him his time had run out and he asked for bus tickets to B.C. “When they asked if I had a place to go, I just said, ‘yeah’,” Neil-Curly said. “I was going to the next homeless shelter anyway.”

Transients and panhandlers aren’t the only ones who say whatever they figure will get them through another day. Politicians do it too.

Admitting she knew little about the arrivals, Premier Christy Clark suggested that both were mentally ill and deserve every support the province can give them.

B.C. housing czar Rich Coleman has also

demonstrated factual flexibility as he presides over the creation of his latest single-room-occupancy drug ghetto in a residential neighbourhood in Victoria.

After quietly proposing a closed-down nursing home called Mount Edwards Court as a temporary solution to the filthy “tent city” that sprang up on provincial property last fall, Coleman abruptly announced from his Langley office Feb. 5 that the building had been bought and partly BC VIEWS renovated for $4 million. It would house 38 people for up Tom to a year.

Fletcher I asked him if the purchase meant the conversion of Mount Edwards into permanent “low-barrier” housing for 100 people was a “done deal,” as area residents believe. “They’re wrong,” Coleman indignantly replied, and there would be community consultation over the next year.

In subsequent comments to reporters, he said the province doesn’t really need city zoning, but will apply for it anyway. (That won’t be a problem with Victoria’s far-left city council, which is keen to add a supervised injection site too.)

On Feb. 24, Coleman was asked if he is concerned that the 88 housing units at two locations would fill up and other transients would arrive to take their place. By that time the tent squat appeared to have about 100 people in residence, with the usual overdos-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

es, violence and prostitution.

Coleman assured us it hasn’t happened in Abbotsford or Maple Ridge, where tent camps have finally been cleaned up after shelters and housing were provided.

The next day, he was asked if transitional accommodations would be sufficient to end the camp.

“They’re not actually all that transitional,” Coleman replied. “We’ll take Mount Edwards through a zoning process. We’ve got about 100 beds there. We’ve bought the building so it’s hardly transitional. We’ve permanently done that.”

Fast forward to March 11. The 38 Mount Edwards spaces are full, another 40 rooms and camping spaces at a former youth custody centre are almost full, and the province applies for a court order to clear the Victoria camp.

A representative of the advocacy group Together Against Poverty Society goes on local radio to pledge legal support for the campers. How many are there now? At least 100, he says.

Meanwhile in Maple Ridge, where the “homeless” problem is all fixed, Coleman has just extended temporary shelter funding and paid $5.5 million for a 61-room motel to fix it some more.

Beattie chips in as Ice hope to play spoiler Sophomore forward River Beattie & Kootenay Ice hope to cool Edmonton Oil Kings’ playoff hopes Tuesday night

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Offense has not been the easiest thing to come by for the Kootenay Ice to this point in the 2015-16 Western Hockey League campaign, averaging only 2.12 goals per game, having scored 146 times through 69 contests.

Splitting a homeand-home weekend with the Medicine Hat Tigers, the Ice managed to tally seven times across the two outings for an average of 3.5 goals per game, a substantial uptick in relation to their seasonal output so far.

Helping spark the outburst was sophomore forward River Beattie, who scored under every possible circumstance — tallying on the power play and while shorthanded Friday, before opening the scoring at even strength Saturday.

“I was moving my feet a little, bit better, but at the end of the day, I was getting good bounces and able to capitalize,” Beattie said of his scoring efforts this past weekend.

“It feels good and we need [scoring] from other guys with [Matt] Alfaro being injured. We need more guys chipping in offensively.”

Thanks to his fourpoint weekend, Beattie — an 18-year-old native of Sherwood Park, Alta.

— has posted career highs across the board in his sophomore season with the Ice. With eight goals, five assists and 13 points to his credit through 56 games, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound winger has easily eclipsed the totals he put forth in his 63-game rookie season (5-4-9).

“He is skating, it’s amazing how different the game can be when you want to move your feet,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “I don’t know if maybe the energy reserves are empty — we’ve played a lot of hockey, we’re short a lot of bodies and we’ve got a young group — so fatigue’s kicking in a little and guys aren’t skating as well. But if you can find a way to move your legs, you’ll have success.”

tered his sixth goal of the campaign with a shorthanded effort in Medicine Hat. Jumping off a faceoff, the gritty forward skated in alone after catching the Tigers off guard before beating goaltender Nick Schneider. On his power-play effort, Beattie covered much of the ice surface, picking his way through four Tigers before beating Schneider for his seventh goal of the season.

Saturday, Beattie won a puck battle in the corner before cutting to the net and sneaking a shot under Schneider’s arm.

With Alfaro — the

team’s second-leading scorer — still on the shelf due to an upper-body injury, Beattie’s increased contributions remain critical as the Ice play out the final stretch of the regular season.

While the Ice will miss out on the WHL post-season for the first time in 18 years, there remains motivation with three games left on the slate.

With the Tigers and Edmonton Oil Kings embroiled in a tight race for the Eastern Conference’s final wildcard playoff position, the Ice have been afforded and

“We want to play spoiler, obviously,” Beattie said. “We want to go as hard as we can. We have to finish this season off and continue to build into next season.

We’re not going to stop.

“The Oil Kings are going to come in hot.

They’re going to give it everything they have.

They’re going to fight.

They’re in a bit of a dog

fight right now and they know what they have to do. We’ll just try to do what we can to upset that.”

With a 4-3 regulation victory Saturday, the Ice did what they could to cool the Tigers (29-36-32, 63 points), who are trying desperately to catch the Oil Kings (2933-6-1, 65).

The Oil Kings hold one game in hand and it comes Tuesday when

they pay a visit to Western Financial Place in Cranbrook.

After Tuesday’s date with Edmonton, the Ice finish out the 2015-16 WHL regular season in a home-and-home affair with the Calgary Hitmen (39-26-2-2). The Hitmen visit Cranbrook Friday (7 p.m.) before playing host at the Scotiabank Saddledome Sunday (1 p.m.).

Dynamiters host Nitehawks in conference championship rematch Taylor Rocc a

The Kimberley Dynamiters swept through the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in the second round of the KIJHL post-season, somewhat unexpectedly with many predicting a lengthy six- or seven-game battle.

While the four-game series victory didn’t come

easily with three contests requiring overtime, the quick dispatch provided the Eddie Mountain Division champs with some much-needed rest.

“The guys can be extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished so far,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Dynamiters. “Now we’ve got

more to do.”

That begins Tuesday night (7 p.m.), as the Dynamiters welcome the Neil Murdoch Division-champion Beaver Valley Nitehawks to the Kimberley Civic Centre for Game 1 of the bestof-seven Kootenay Conference championship.

“It’s huge going into the conference title series with big rest,” said Nitros alternate captain Jared Marchi. “It’s huge for the guys that have bumps or bruises or anyone that’s tired. It’s really important to get the rest now that we need to be energized for [the conference final].”

The Dynamiters enjoyed five full days off after completing a sweep of the Thunder Cats on March 9.

For the Nitehawks, their Neil Murdoch Division final stretched one game and two days further, as they defeated the

Grand Forks Border Bruins by a 4-0 margin in Game 5 of their best-ofseven series March 11.

Two days might not seem like a lot, but in the realm of playoff hockey, it can be all the difference.

“It’s super important just because of the injuries we have,” said Dynamiters goaltender Tyson Brouwer. “It’s really important we get as much rest as we can. It’s going to be a lengthy playoff run, I’m imagining.

“We can’t get satisfied, you can’t sit around and wait for your next opponent and think because you swept you’re going to walk into the

next series.

“Beaver Valley is a good team… You’ve got to keep level-headed.

Even though we won last year, it’s harder this year than it was last year.

We have to keep our heads on straight and focus on the prize.”

Playoff time is an allout war at any level of hockey and the KIJHL is no exception.

While injury disclosure comes at a minimum there’s plenty that can be observed.

Keenan Haase has missed two games to date with what appears to be an upper-body injury, though was able to skate in his team’s Game 4 victory over Creston.

Captain Jason Richter looks sore, but with what Bancks’ characterized as “the heart of an Olympian,” there is no holding the peppy forward out of the lineup.

Tanner Wit missed

Game 4 in Creston due to illness and Austyn Moser missed time with an undisclosed injury during the first-round victory over Fernie.

On top of it all, James Rota is sporting a cast on his forearm/wrist, so it

seems unlikely he will be available anytime soon.

The Nitros will need Haase and Richter, in particular, to be at as full strength as is possible if they’re to defeat a strong Nitehawks squad for the second consecutive season in the conference championship.

There’s no shortage of recent history between the two well-

coached squads.

During the 2015 KIJHL post-season, the rivals met in the conference finale, with the Dynamiters booking a ticket to the KIJHL championship in five games.

During the 2015-16 regular season, the Nitros maintained an edge over the Nitehawks, claiming two victories in two games, though one required overtime.

What will transpire in 2016 remains to be seen, but there’s no question the Nitehawks should pose the Dynamiters toughest test to date.

Game 2 of the Kootenay Conference final is set for Wednesday (7 p.m.) at the Kimberley Civic Centre. From there, the series shifts to Fruitvale for Games 3 and 4, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, respectively.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) After recent events, you’ll embrace the unexpected, as long as it doesn’t create too much of a hassle. You’ll have a choice to make that probably will affect your day-to-day life. As you discuss the possibilities, your perspective changes. Tonight: Happily relax at home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be somewhat skeptical about a money matter, to the point that you might be on the verge of overthinking it. You’ll gain an insight about a friend that might jolt you. Still, there will be a tendency to want to go to extremes in a specific area of your life. Tonight: Make it early.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Know that you can deal with what heads your way, even if you’d prefer not to. Many opportunities could emerge out of these various situations. You might have to juggle your personal life and your professional life. Remain confident. Tonight: On top of your game.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Situations change quickly, and you could be somewhat reserved as a result. You might feel as if you must strap on your seat belt with today’s roller coaster ride. Extremes seem natural under the circumstances. You see different sides of your friends.

Tonight: Feeling up to snuff.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Use the daylight hours to the max, despite a sense of chaos.

You seem to be able to sail through any problem with ease, though there might be a tendency to go to extremes when it comes to spending. A little self-discipline goes a long way.

Tonight: Call it an early night.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Despite all the pressure around you today, you will land like a cat, on all fours. You seem to make the right choices, despite having to deal with a boss who is putting pressure on you to see how much you can handle.

You’ll show what you’re made of.

Tonight: Meet up with friends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You understand the art of de-

Tundra

250-919-6530

tachment more than many other signs do. You might need to pull away from some emotional drama in order to see the situation and the players more clearly. Follow your sixth sense; it will help you make the right choices.

Tonight: Others count on you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might choose to dedicate some quality time to a special individual. You might be taken aback by what you hear, but try to remain confident. You will manifest a long-term goal or desire if you stay centered at this moment. Tonight: Understand others’ reactions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might need to turn a situation around. It seems obvious that you will need the help of a partner, associate or loved one.

It will be hard to let go of the reins, but it probably is the best solution. Delegate some of the responsibility. Tonight: A loved one tries to draw you in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Defer to others, even if the topic is your forte. Not until they have to handle what you do will you

be appreciated for the job you do. Relax and let go of the role of authority. Others seem to show up from out of the blue with nuggets of good news. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You appear to be in a period where you simply can’t hold yourself back. Lighten up and make the most out of the moment, yet still remain sensitive to others. You might need to be a little less sociable at work. Tonight: Recognize when you need to call it a night.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Honor a family member’s needs.

You initially might be uncomfortable with what has been suggested, but you’ll learn to run with the moment. You also could feel pressured by a loved one or a partner to be more positive. Tonight: Do not push someone else too far.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My oldest and youngest sisters are 10 years apart. They used to be good friends, but in the past three years, something apparently happened and now they can’t stand to be in the same room together. At family events, the tension is awful. They can’t talk to one another without condescension and sarcasm.

My parents and I are caught in the middle. Each sister comes to me to complain about the other. I have tried to get them to talk it out or call a truce for the sake of the family, but it continues to get worse. My oldest sister will invite everyone for dinner except my youngest sister. Then my youngest sister complains to our mother.

Mom is 86 years old and worries constantly about her daughters. My brother wanted to move back home to help with my parents, but he changed his mind because he didn’t want to deal with the bad vibes coming from our other two sisters. No other family members will talk to them about this, because they don’t want to hurt their feelings.

I am so sick of this family feud. Is there anything we can do with these selfish adults? -- The Middle Sister Dear Middle Sister: Does anyone know the original cause of this animosity?

Sometimes, a minor problem can become a major rift because it isn’t dealt with at the time, so it festers. Could you, your mother, your clergyperson or a professional mediator get the two of them in a room together to discuss it?

One common problem with estranged siblings is that they spend years unable to enjoy each other’s company, only to regret it when it’s too late to fix. You might remind your sisters that they could have less time to repair this than they think. We hope one of them can be the bigger person and make the first move.

Dear Annie: A while back, I read with interest a letter from “Jungle Jim in Indiana,” regarding the things men should know if their wives become incapable of doing common household tasks. What is good for one is good for the other. Please print my list of things a woman should know if her husband were no longer around, or incapable of doing these things. -- Dover, Pennsylvania Dear Dover: Thanks. Here it is: 1. Know how to check the fluids in the car (oil, power steering, brake, windshield washer). Also, know how to check the air pressure in the tires and properly wax the car. Or know where to find a reputable mechanic and car wash.

2. Know where the main water shutoff is located in the home in case a pipe bursts.

3. Know where important papers are kept (car titles, insurance papers, deeds, IRA and CD certificates, bonds), as well as retirement information and medical records.

4. Know what to do if the pilot light goes out on the gas stove and who to call if there is a gas leak.

5. Know how to replace the batteries in the smoke detectors/radon detectors in the home and do it every six months.

6. Know where the fuse box is and how to change a fuse.

7. Know how to fix a toilet that has stopped working properly.

Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

Second snowmobiler killed in an avalanche in B.C.’s Interior within past week C anadian Press

Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd.

Plan for developing Bonanza Ledge mine near Barkerville uses spiral tunnel to reach gold below existing pit.

Signs of spring for B.C. mining industry Tom Fletcher Black Press

The pending return of mining to Barkerville and an uptick of demand for iron ore in Asia are signs that the worldwide commodity slump may be coming to an end, says B.C. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett.

In an interview after last week’s Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention in Toronto, Bennett said construction and steel-

making in China are key indicators of demand for metallurgical coal from Kootenay and South Peace mines, which have cut production due to poor international demand and low prices.

“I went there expecting the same as last year, with everyone being pessimistic, and instead I actually thought there was a fair bit of optimism, particularly for B.C.,” he said.

Bennett met with representatives of Barkerville Gold

Mines Ltd., which plans to build an underground mine the historic region of the Cariboo gold rush of the 1860s. The company has reorganized, paid its debt and raised enough money to get the project into production this year, he said.

Barkerville Gold has been accumulating properties in the Cariboo since 1994. Its plan is to develop three sites, starting with the Bonanza Ledge mine at Barkerville Mountain, two kilometres northwest of the

historic townsite from the placer mining boom.

Brucejack, an underground gold mine north-west of Smithers that was permitted last year, is also moving ahead.

“He’s got about 400 people working there now and he’s going to have 500 as the snow goes down,” Bennett said.

“That’s as many people as are working at Site C. It’s happening out of sight, out of mind so nobody knows about it.”

SICAMOUS, B.C. - An avalanche has taken the life of another snowmobiler in British Columbia’s Interior, the region’s second such incident within the past week.

Rescue crews recovered the body of a man trapped in a snow slide near Crowfoot Mountain, about 90 kilometres northeast of Kamloops.

A spokeswoman for the coroners’ service says the man was part of a group of three snowmobilers.

Shuswap Search and Rescue manager John Schut says three avalanche technicians were deployed to the site after crews were notified around 11:45 Sunday morning.

No one else was injured in the slide.

Last Tuesday, the body of a 34-year-old man was found in an avalanche zone near Sicamous, B.C., after crews picked up a signal from his personal-location device.

He had left two days earlier on a solo backcountry trip and was known to go sledding for multiple days at a time.

“I would caution people that avalanche conditions are quite dangerous around here right now,” Schut says. “People need to be wary of that.”
