Council adopts seasonal outdoor patio bylaw TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Cranbrook has officially adopted a seasonal outdoor patio bylaw for local downtown restauranteurs and businesses.

Now, businesses can set up an outdoor patio as laid out in the bylaw, but with the summer half over, it remains to be seen how quickly businesses roll them out.

It’s an initiative that’s been underway for the last year, with city planners crafting a bylaw that protects the city’s interests, while allowing businesses to draw in customers by taking advantage of summer weather.

Biologists with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations are monitoring mule deer populations and migration patterns in the Kootenay region.

Biologists provide update on mule deer study Ungulates on east side of Koocanusa Reservoir moving as far as into Alberta and back TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Due to a significant decline in mule deer populations, provincial biologists are keeping an eye on mortality and migration patterns through an ongoing mule deer monitoring project in the Kootenay region.

The project includes a pilot

translocation study that moved 20 deer out of four East Kootenay communities, including Cranbrook, into more remote wintering ranges.

As part of the Upper Kootenay Enhancement Plan, a partnership between the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Pro-

gram and the Columbia Basin Trust, biologists have been tracking 88 female mule deer fitted with GPS collars in the Wigwam/Grasmere, Newgate, Dutch-Findlay and West Kootenay areas.

Biologists are finding that different populations are ex-

hibiting very distinct migration patterns. Mule deer on the east side of Koocanusa Reservoir are moving great distances, typically up to 60 kilometres, and even into Alberta and back.

finally done,” said Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt.

“But we’re not happy with how long it took.

That’s part of bureaucracy and the rules and regulations you have to abide by, but hopefully we’ll see some interest this year.

“I know it’s getting late in the season but hopefully we’ll see some interest. If not this year, for sure we’ll be trying to make sure they get on board early [next year] with it and try to get something going.”

Affordability, consistency, options and limiting liability to the city were the four guiding principles that came with drafting the bylaw.

Cranbrook’s Jennifer De Pippo is golden after staking out a first-place finish in the 800-metre freestyle swim at the 2016 Speedo Can-Am Para-swimming Championship in Gatineau, Que. (July 15 to 17).

“I did all I could to get myself ready,” De Pippo said Tuesday afternoon.

“My coach says, ‘Don’t work hard, work smart.’

So, I worked smart and in the end it paid off.

“I wasn’t nervous because I just took every swim as it came. I knew I was ready and the results proved it.”

In the 800-m freestyle, De Pippo set a personal best, breaking the 13-minute mark to claim gold in 12:57.

“I was so excited for my first gold medal,” De Pippo said. “I worked hard for it and my hard work is finally getting recognized. It’s just an incentive for me to keep on going.”

De Pippo also earned a top-five finish in the 400-m freestyle, coming in at 6:30.08. Her time of 6:25.14 in the 400-m freestyle preliminary ranked as a new personal best.

The 29-year-old Cranbrook native also registered personal bests in the 50-m freestyle (00:36.56), 100-m freestyle (1:22.33) and 200-m freestyle (3:06.40).

“All the times I accomplished for the free [swims] were personal bests,” De Pippo said.

“The breaststroke is still a work in progress for me. With that said, I still have a lot of hard work ahead of me for all four strokes.”

Jennifer De Pippo poses with her gold medal after winning the 800-metre freestyle at the 2016 CanAm Para-swimming Championship in Gatineau.

With the Gatineau Can-Am event in the books, De Pippo is going to rest up through the remaining summer months before beginning training once again in September. Outside of her daily two-hour pool sessions, De Pippo credits healthy eating routines and regular work in the gym for helping her get this far to date. And she doesn’t plan on straying from that recipe for success.

Next on her list of events is the 2017 Speedo Can-Am Para-swimming Championship, scheduled for March 30 to April 2, 2017, in Windsor, Ont. From there, she hopes to attend the 2017 Canadian Swimming Championships in Montreal, which are booked for Aug. 4 to 7, 2017.

Unfortunately, De Pippo fell short of her goal of earning an opportunity to compete at

the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but that hasn’t dampened her spirits as she now sets her sights on the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

“I’m working towards Tokyo 2020 and things are looking pretty good,” De Pippo said.

When De Pippo was eight years old, she was nearly killed in a car accident, which claimed the life of her mother.

The collision left De Pippo with brain injuries that doctors expected would leave her unable to walk or talk.

Instead, she has proven doubters and doctors wrong, competing at an elite level within the para-swimming world, while also co-authoring the telling of her story — ‘An Unexpected Miracle: Conquering Brain Injury’ — in 2014.

Once the new playground equipment is installed, Gyro Park will once again be one of our premier parks for young and oldalike.”

“Our recreation infrastructure grants support projects that help people to live more ac-

tive, healthy lifestyles,” said Rick Allen, Columbia Basin Trust Manager, Special Initiatives.

“We are excited to support Cranbrook’s tennis courts, and especially the new pickleball courts, as we know the residents of Cranbrook have identified these as priority recreation amenities for the community.”

The court refurbishment sees two of the original three courts restored to tennis, while the remaining court was converted to four pickleball courts.

Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis and can be played by 2 to 4 people.

As the courts are one quarter of the size of a regular tennis court, pickleball is quite appealing to both children and seniors.

“Pickleball is a sport that has been around since 1965 and while many folks have not heard of it, it has become one of the most requested recreation amenities for our City,” says Chris New, Director

of Leisure Service for the City of Cranbrook.

“The sport has gone through explosive growth in the US and the trend in Canada is quickly growing.”

The second component of the overall upgrades to Gyro Park is the replacement of the playground equipment.

The new equipment, which is scheduled for installation in early August, is also funded through the Trust grant.

The new equipment will be a combination of modular units and some stand-alone stations.

Biologists see mule deer on the move CONTINUED from page 1 “This is probably related to quality of habitat,” said project lead and FLNRO wildlife biologist, Patrick Stent. “The deer on the east side have access to a lot of highly productive summer range habitat, including regenerating burns and sub-alpine terrain, and will use it, while those on the west side are limited to a rolling, low elevation forested landscape and are more restricted. It did surprise us that the Grasmere/Wigwam deer were crossing multiple big drainages to spend their summer in specific sites.”

The study is in the second year of a five year term.

Since beginning last year, there have been 19 mule deer mortalities, mostly due to predation. According to Stent, seven were killed by cougars, five by wolves, and one by an unknown predator. Three deer were killed by vehicle collisions, one by illegal poaching, one by natural causes, and one with an unknown cause of death.

“These causes of mortality are not surprising and survival rates are within the ranges reported in other Mule Deer populations in the northwest US,” Stent said. “It is possible that the project started after the population decline occurred and mule deer populations may just now be recovering.

We hope to continue the project over the long-term so we can gain a better understanding of factors that contribute to declines when they occur.”

The project, through models, suggests that there could be modest population growth in mule deer herds east and west of Koocanusa Reservoir due to a high number of fawns being produced and two mild winters.

There isn’t enough data from other herds to report any initial findings.

Stent also adds that there has been some valuable data gathered from the deer translocated out of some East Kootenay communities, including Cranbrook and Kimberley, under a trial program headed up by Adams and Vast Resource Solutions.

“And finally there is a positive spin-off of doing this work right now because of the pilot project currently being implemented to relocate Mule Deer from some urban areas to areas where resident populations have declined,” said Stent. “We can directly compare survival rates and movement between those collared urban deer released into our study area, and those deer we have collared.”

In the pilot project, 60 deer were moved out of Cranbrook, Kimberley, Invermere and Elkford. Of those ungulates, 29 were

fitted with GPS collars, and eight have since died, mostly from cougar predation.

“That’s just over 25 per cent mortality which is better than many people thought the urban deer would suffer,” said Adams of VAST Resource Solutions, who is the project coordinator. “The big surprise is that their movements have varied considerably – some moving over 300 kilometres, and others have stayed very close to their release site.”

The two projects are unique in that it’s giving biologists a chance to collect data on both urban and non-urban deer. With both radio-collared non-urban and urban deer, biologists are using the non-urban deer as a control population to collect movement and survival data on translocated urban deer. For the non-urban deer, more ungulates will be collared later this year in the West Kootenays.

The Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program is a partnership between BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations and Public Stakeholders to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife impacted

by BC Hydro dams. For more about this Mule Deer project, and other projects being funded by the FWCP, visit fwcp.ca.

It Happened This Week in Cranbrook Week July 17 - 23 DAVE HUMPHREY

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives 1905 AVOID TYPHOID … 78 people took the advice given in our advertisement last week and are now taking Lorimer’s English Health Salts. It is a sure thing they will avoid typhoid fever, which is going to be very prevalent this year. This great health preserver only costs 75 cents a bottle. Be wise. Beattie and Atchison where it pays to deal.

FORTUNE TELLERS … The latest aggregation to reach the city is a band of gypsies.

They are telling fortunes for four bits a fortune.

WINNERS … The Kootenay Indians won all the horse races at the Gateway celebration on the 4th. Mollie Weasel Tail and Susie Yellow Dress winning the ladies foot races.

The Indians were there in great numbers from Creston, Canal Flats, Fort Steele, Kalispell and the nearby reserve.

OUCH … Tom Cameron, foreman at the St. Eugene mill, met with quite a bad accident while on shift Monday night. He was tightening a bolt when the wrench he was using slipped and got caught in the revolving wheel. The wrench flew out and struck Mr. Cameron a terrible blow in the face, rendering him unconscious for nearly two hours. An examination proved that he was not seriously injured. He is out and around again and will soon be able to return to work.

A SUCCESSFUL PICNIC ... Wednesday

was Children’s Day in the Elk Valley. About seven hundred people took in the Sunday school picnic at Elko on that day and about half of that number was children. In addition to the six heavily laden coaches which pulled out of Fernie at 9 o’clock there were many who went down on the regular an hour earlier and about 75 people from Michel went on that train. About the same number went from Morrissey on the two trains. The splendid weather, the natural attractions of Elko and the general desire of every person in the crowd to have a good time all combined to make the day’s outing the most successful of its kind ever held in the valley of the Elk. Tables for refreshments, a covered booth, swings and other preparations were made for the day by a number of willing workers. The ladies with excellent foresight provided an endless amount of eatables for the hungry crowd.

AGENT ASSAULTED ... C. H. Hales, C. P. R. agent at Crows Nest received rough usage at the hands of two ruffians on Wednesday night from the effects of which he will be laid up for some time. Mr. Hales was returning home from a fishing excursion and when about a mile east of Crows Nest station at 9.30 in the evening he met two men. They stepped to each side to let him pass and just as he had done so they turned on him. He made a big struggle but finally they got him down and they all rolled to the bottom of the steep grade along the track. Then the two assailants returned to the attack and kicked Hales brutally about the face. They left him in a semiconscious condition and made no attempt to rob him. Hales managed to reach his home and medical and police aid were summoned. Dr. McSorley and Constable

Drummond went up from Michel. As the crime was committed east of the Summit the case was out of Drummond’s jurisdiction and he turned it over to the mounted police. Mr. Hales recognized one of his assailants and his arrest will probably follow.

He can assign no motive for the assault.

Hales’ head is a mass of bruises but fortunately no bones were broken.

LACROSSE … The Cranbrook lacrosse club has definitely decided to send the team to Lethbridge on Monday, July 31st, to contest with the stick-handlers of that city in the second game for the Levasseur cup. This is a week earlier than the schedule calls for, but the date mentioned seems more satisfactory for both teams. Every effort will be made on both sides to win this game. Should Lethbridge be successful, Cranbrook will have to gracefully give up the cup she won last year after some hard struggles. On the other hand if the Cranbrook’s are the victors a third decisive game will be played on neutral grounds. Black and Graham, who were badly handicapped in the last game by having crippled feet, have both recovered, and with some hard practise work from now on the team should be in shape, to reverse the result of the game on the 10th inst.

NO MINER … Thos, Mack, claiming to be a miner, who had been around Cranbrook for several days, was arrested Monday morning on the charge of abstracting a watch and a small sum of money from John Jensening; while the latter was sleeping off an overdose of Scotch whiskey. Mack was taken before Magistrate Armstrong, who, after hearing the evidence, sentenced Mr. Mack to six months in the Nelson jail.

There are 116 Recreation Sites in the Rocky Mountain District, which provide a simple, rustic camping experience.

Camping at recreation sites in the Rocky Mountain district are not on a reservation system therefore the sites are rst come – rst served.

There are two basic types of recreation sites available, sites with fees and sites without. Fees range from $10 to $15 per night for a person, family or party of six.

Reduced fees, of 50% off, are available for seniors and for qualifying persons with disabilities.

CONTINUED from page 1 There were no changes betwen the third reading and it’s adoption by council on Monday night.

Rob Veg, the senior planner with the City of Cranbrook, says he looked at what other communities have done with seasonal patios to draft the bylaw.

“It involves a lot of research, looking at what people in other places do and then taking that information and try to craft a bylaw to suit Cranbrook,” said Veg. Crafting such a bylaw means striking a balance between protecting the city and encouraging businesses to set up outdoor patios,” Veg added.

“First and foremost, as a planner, we have to look after the city to make sure our interests are covered, particularly with respect to the issues of liability,” Veg said. “But then we also wanted to take into account things like affordability so it would get that uptake. Certainly some of the things that businesses would like to see maybe aren’t necessarily something that could be put into a bylaw.

“We have to be careful that we try to bridge that gap and have something amiable to both groups, and I think we’ve done that.”

The bylaw, including the rules and regulations of setting up an outdoor patio, are available by visiting city hall.

Outdoor bistro-style tables and chairs are now officially permitted, while the bylaw also allows for a constructed patio structure that can utilize angle or parallel parking spaces for an annual fee.

The East Kootenay Community Credit Union is jumping on board with its support and is offering low interest loans of up to $6,500 to downtown Cranbrook businesses wishing to add a seasonal patio.

“Patios will increase the vitality of the community plus help local business owners grow their businesses,” read an EKC press release.

Brexit: Theresa May’s Strategy

S

o far, so good. Boris Johnson, the face of the “Out” side in last month’s Brexit referendum and now Britain’s new Foreign Secretary, got through his first encounter with the 27 other foreign ministers of European Union countries on Monday without insulting anybody.

They were gathered in Brussels for a meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry, and “Boris” was on his best behaviour. He didn’t call anybody a “monosyllabic Austrian cyborg” (Arnold Schwartzenegger) or “a cross-eyed Texan warmonger” (George W. Bush).

The poem he wrote in May about Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan having sex with a goat – just google Turkish President Offensive Poetry Competition – didn’t come up as there were no Turks present. There were no Russians at the Brussels meeting either, so nobody objected to his recent remark that President Vladimir Putin looks like Dobbie the House Elf. As for John Kerry, he was the soul of tact about Johnson’s description of Hillary Clinton as a woman with “dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital.” Boris is the Clown Prince of British journalism, but you have to admit that he is a very odd choice for chief British diplomat.

He wasn’t the only surprising choice that new Prime Minister Theresa May made in filling her cabinet. The man who gets the tricky job of negotiating the terms of Britain’s exit from the European Union is David Davies – who as recently as two months ago thought that this could be done by making trade deals separately with each EU member. (They always ne-

gotiate as a bloc.)

But Davies was a leading Brexiteer during the referendum campaign, so he gets the job anyway. Liam Fox, the new Secretary of State for International Trade, who will have the thankless task of negotiating new trade deals with countries around the world to make up for Britain’s lost trade with Europe – deals that cannot come into effect until the UK has actually left the EU – was also a leading voice in the pro-Brexit campaign.

So May (who was in favour of “Remain”, and probably still secretly thinks it would have been the better outcome) has chosen the three most prominent Brexiteers to deal with the hugely difficult task of finding a way for the United Kingdom to leave the EU without ending up in the poor-house. Johnson, Davies and Fox are not the three best Gwynne certainly negotiators for the job, so what is she up to?

Dyer One part of her strategy is obvious: “Keep your enemies close.”

With the three leading Brexiteers in the cabinet, they will have less time and opportunity to plot against her. But another adage also applies: “Give your enemies enough rope, and they’ll hang themselves.”

The Brexiteers won the referendum by promising that exit from the EU would be easy and painless. So let them take charge of negotiating that exit – and let them take the blame for the very painful terms that Britain will probably have to accept as the price of leaving.

Will they be worse terms than a different negotiating team might achieve?

Johnson is profoundly unpopular in Europe: France’s foreign minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault, told French radio that Johnson

“told a lot of lies to the British people and now it is him who has his back against the wall.” But a more charming (or at least less insulting) British foreign secretary would probably get the same deal. It’s not really about personalities.

The great advantage for May in having the Three Brexiteers negotiate the deal is that nobody will be able to say that a more devoted team would have got a better deal. And maybe by then she will even be able to say that the deal is so bad that the UK should have another referendum (or a general election) about it before actually leaving.

She can’t say that now, so she just says “Brexit is Brexit”. But at least two years will pass before the outcome of the exit negotiations is known, and by then many things may have changed.

The British pound may be worth even less (some suggest that it will be at par with the US dollar). The British economy will probably be in a recession, and maybe a full-scale financial crisis, as foreign investment dries up and the huge British trade deficit becomes unmanageable.

Jobs will have begun to disappear in large numbers, and British voters may be in a quite different mood than they are today.

Or maybe they will be even angrier at the stupid foreigners who won’t accept that the world owes them a living. You can’t really predict how the politics will play out. But May loses nothing by letting the leading Brexiteers try to make their promises come true – and when they fail, as they inevitably will, it might even create a chance to reverse the verdict of last month’s referendum.

Former Ice goaltender signs AHL deal Nathan Lieuwen puts pen to paper with San Antonio Rampage

TAYLOR ROCC A

Former Kootenay Ice goaltender Nathan Lieuwen is taking his game to a new barn for the 2016-17 season.

After spending the first four years of his professional hockey career within the Buffalo Sabres organization, Lieuwen signed a oneyear American Hockey League (AHL) contract with the San Antonio Rampage — a minor league affiliate of the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche — Tuesday.

The Rampage announced the signing of Lieuwen as well as the addition of goaltender Kent Simpson Tuesday afternoon.

“We’re happy to add both Kent and Nathan to our goaltending depth,” said Craig Billington, general manager of the Rampage, in a team release. “Both of these guys have experience in the National

League and American League, and we’re looking forward to working with them this season.”

The 24-year-old Lieuwen — a native of Abbotsford — spent four full seasons with the WHL’s Kootenay Ice (2008-09 to 2011-12) where he went 85-67-7 with nine shutouts with a 2.76 goals-against average (GAA) and .903 save percentage (SP).

The 6-foot-5, 190pound netminder played a vital role in Kootenay’s run to the 2011 WHL championship, earning WHL Playoff MVP honours.

That playoff performance earned Lieuwen enough recognition to be selected by the Buffalo Sabres during the sixth round (167th overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

After wrapping up his junior career at the conclusion of 2011-12, Lieu-

In seven NHL games that season, Lieuwen went 1-4-0 with a 2.98 GAA and .906 SP. After signing a oneyear contract to return to the Sabres’ organization, Lieuwen spent all of 2015-16 with the franchise’s AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans.

In 28 appearances, he went 14-11-2 with a 2.91 GAA and .909 SP. Over a four-year pro career, Lieuwen has appeared in 80 AHL outings, registering a record of 36-33-4 with a 2.73 GAA and .910 SP. The Rampage finished the 2015-16 season with a record of 3335-8-0, leaving them last in the seven-team Pacific Division and outside the AHL playoff picture.

The Duczek brothers — Dagen (left) and Ryder (right).

TAYLOR ROCC A

Cranbrook’s dynamic wakeboarding Duczek brothers are at it again.

Dagen and Ryder Duczek are off to a solid start on the water this summer, having already made a handful of podium appearances throughout the region.

The first event of the season took the Duczeks south of the border for the INT League Northwest Division Tour at Hauser Lake, Idaho, where the brothers owned the Junior Boys Wakeboarding class with nine-year-old Dagen claiming first and Ryder staking out second place.

“We had good water,” Dagen said of his firstplace rip. “I managed to land some big grabs.”

In Junior Boys Wakesurf competition, it was 11-year-old Ryder landing atop the podium, while the younger Dagen finished in second.

Next on the itinerary, the Duczeks were off to Pine Lake, Alta., for a stop on the Water Ski and Wakeboard Alberta Tour. The location may have changed, but the results were much the same as Ryder collected a gold medal in Intermediate Wakeboard competition with Dagen settling for silver.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

In Intermediate Wakesurf, Ryder was golden once again, while Dagen just finished off the podium in fourth.

“It was an awesome day,” Ryder said of his double-gold effort.

“Definitely another battle of the brothers in the wakeboard division.”

The Duczek brothers train at Tie Lake, near Jaffray. Next on the calendar are stops in Alberta, B.C., and U.S. The Duczek brothers wished to extend gratitude to their community sponsors, including Hyperlite, Just Liquid Sports and Boston Pizza (Cranbrook/Golden).

The Can-Am swim meets are designed to bring together para-swimmers from the Canada and United States for two standalone competitions per year, aimed at enhancing the development to the international level.

According to the International Paralympic Committee, athletes competing in Paralympic sports have an impairment that leads to a competitive disadvantage in sport. There are 10 eligible classifications that allow a person to compete as a para-athlete, including eight physical impairments, visual impairments and intellectual impairments.

De Pippo wished to extend gratitude to Frank Sandor of Sandor Rental Equipment and Jim Fiorentino of Fiorentino Brothers for their support.

VANCOUVER - For weeks after professional skier Jamie CraneMauzy injured her brain while competing in Whistler, B.C., the 23-year-old says she experienced the world like the protagonist in the movie “50 First Dates.”

She could talk and interact, but would have no idea what she had done the previous day.

On one occasion, she performed a fully choreographed dance to a Taylor Swift song in a cafeteria.

Crane-Mauzy said her behaviour was a sign of recovery, and she is attributing her positive prognosis to a newly implemented technique at Vancouver General Hospital.

“I was lucky, my personality didn’t change,” she said with a huge smile at a news conference on Tuesday.

“I get to travel around the world. I get to go skiing again. I get to live tomorrow.”

Crane-Mauzy was choppered off the mountain and hospitalized in Canada for eight days in April 2015 after crashing during a double backflip at the World Ski and Snowboard Festival.

Doctors decided she would become the first patient in British Columbia to undergo autoregulation monitoring, a technique that determines the precise oxygen and blood pressure levels in the brain.

To employ the technology, a surgeon made a small incision in her skull and inserted two wires.

Confirming the doctor’s suspicion, one wire measured a critically low oxygen level. Software was then used to analyze the data in con-

junction with information from the other wire about her blood pressure. Crane-Mauzy was given medicine to help her heart pump hard enough to send more oxygen to her brain.

The problem resolved within hours.

“Traditionally, what we’ve done ... is we’ve treated people in a onesize-fits-all approach,” said Dr. Mypinder Sekhon. “But now with the ability to identify single blood pressures, it allows us to individualize care.”

He was one of two critical care doctors from Vancouver General Hospital who studied the technique at Cambridge in the United Kingdom, where it was pioneered, and introduced it to B.C. Dr. Donald Griesdale, the other doctor, said it was coincidental that Crane-Mauzy was treated first. He said another 36 patients underwent autoregulation monitoring over the following year and 60 per cent of those had favourable outcomes.

There is only about a 37 per cent success rate with traditional treatment, he said.

The technology can help patients leave the intensive care unit sooner and give them a better chance at recovering to the point of living independently, he added.

Crane-Mauzy, who lives with her sister and mother in Utah, said she had to relearn to walk, talk and “absolutely everything” else. But today she no longer experiences headaches or emotional symptoms.

Before her accident she was ranked number two overall on the world tour for slopestyle and halfpipe skiing, but doesn’t expect to compete again.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Friends surround you, and you might not even realize that some of them are also your allies in certain situations. Your willingness to deal with difficult situations adds to your popularity.

Tonight: Try to see the validity of someone else’s thought process.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might not be pleased with everything that is happening at work. You’ll wonder why you are putting up with this situation, but it probably is because you feel as if you have no other choice. You do, as long as you are OK with conflict. Tonight: Be nice, even if you don’t agree.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Detach, and you are likely to come up with interesting ideas that seem agreeable to those around you. You might wonder why you have not made certain suggestions sooner. Don’t speculate -- just be more open about your thoughts. Tonight: Look to the long term.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

To feel more connected with others, plan on more one-onone time. As a result, some of them are likely to see a situation in a new light, and also might be more comfortable with being open. A disagreement is not as serious as you make it out to be.

Tonight: Celebrate the moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be more in touch with your needs before you try to work through a compromise. You could find a friend or close loved one to be extremely demanding.

For personal reasons, you might not be able to agree to this person’s terms. Tonight: Take a midweek break.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You often make a fuss when you’re feeling pressured. Just because someone else makes a request does not mean you have to go along with it. Your sense of humor plays a significant role as you adapt. Listen to your intuition. Tonight: Get your errands done first.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be more playful than usual. You recognize the lightness of your mood and will try

to be appropriate in a serious meeting. You might be somber, and others will want to cheer you up. Are you going to let them think that they’ve succeeded? Tonight: Get into the moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Personal matters might become dominant and challenging. You have the ability to read between the lines with others, especially loved ones and close friends. You could feel pressured by someone you respect and look up to. Tonight: Fun and games. You know how to play!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You tend to come off far more serious than you might realize; others’ reactions will clue you in. Communication could be excellent, even if you don’t see eye to eye with someone. A friend might be too challenging to play it cool. Tonight: Consider a weekend getaway.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Curb a tendency to be demanding and too sure of yourself. As a result, others will be more open in conversations. A difference of opinion is just that and noth-

ing more, although you might want to take a stand if the issue involves money. Tonight: Let someone else pick up the tab.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll hit your power days this month. You might want to handle any matter that you feel is dependent on your energy and drive now. A friend usually is not receptive to your ideas. Do not allow this person to get to you.

Maintain a perspective. Tonight: As you like it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You know what you want. Any attempt to communicate might come off as being too serious for others to understand where you are coming from. If you get in a tiff with someone, you might want to step back and attempt to speak in a different tone. Tonight: Not to be found.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My wife and I have a baby girl, “Alice,” now a year old. My wife’s divorced sister, “Leora,” stayed with us during most of my wife’s pregnancy and moved into an apartment across the street several months after Alice’s birth. She has been around constantly ever since.

The sisters always have been best friends.

The two of them ended up giving the baby her first bath, taking her on her first stroll, her first trip to my mother-in-law’s, lots of “firsts,” while I am left out. I would like Leora to go home, so my wife and I can enjoy our baby’s accomplishments.

I was hoping my wife would realize what was going on, but I fear she took my passivity as indifference. At one point I told her how I felt, and she said she understood, but things haven’t really changed. Meanwhile, I have gotten reports from friends and family that Leora talks behind my back, questioning my parenting skills since she “always has to do everything.” Worse, my wife says similar things about me to others.

Sex is almost nonexistent, and not from lack of interest on my part. When I try to discuss it or ask why she’s never in the mood, she says nothing is wrong. But obviously there is.

I believe we are both good parents, and we provide a decent home. So, how do I get my wife to realize that her relationship with her sister has driven a wedge between us? And how do I do it in such a way that there is no animosity between all of us? -- Mister Sister Blues Dear Sister Blues: Leora has become a convenient way for your wife to avoid you, both sexually and emotionally. Worry less about offending Leora and more about the health of your marriage. Tell your wife in plain English that you are unhappy, and ask her to go with you for counseling. (Don’t wait until Leora walks Alice down the aisle at her wedding.)

Dear Annie: I have been in an openly gay relationship for four years. For the past 20 years, I have celebrated holidays with former high-school friends. Spouses and significant others have never been included. I recently received two invitations from individuals who, since I “came out,” have stated that I am welcome in their homes. However, the invitations I received are addressed to me only.

Proper etiquette teaches us that a single person would be extended an invite which includes “and guest.” I doubt they addressed their single, heterosexual guests in the same manner. Please remind your readers that those of us who are openly gay take offense when their partner is discounted to the point of nonexistence. -- Not Closeted and Not Attending Dear Not Closeted: Actually, you have it backward. Unattached guests may be invited without dates. Attached guests are invited WITH their spouses or significant others.

Your partner should have been invited since you have a long-term relationship. If spouses and significant others have never been included in these parties, your partner would not be, either, and it has nothing to do with your sexual orientation. If you object to this policy, by all means, decline.

Dear Annie: If a person behaves badly toward someone, then sends a note of apology asking for forgiveness, who should make the next move? The person who behaved badly or the recipient of the note? -- Troubled Sister Dear Sister: The recipient of the note should have the grace to let you know you are forgiven. If, indeed, you are.

Canadian businesses catch Pokemon Go fever LINDA NGUYEN Canadian Press

TORONTO - The Pokemon Go sign directing people to the front door of Rock Candy Boutique in Halifax has only been up for a week, but Jeff Powers says he is already seeing it pay off.

“Downtown is alive in a way that I haven’t seen in a long, long time,” said Powers, a manager at the store, which sells various rock music T-shirts, hoodies, hats and other paraphernalia.

“There is just a flood from everybody, from young kids to older adults, and you can tell they’re playing this game.”

That would be Pokemon Go, which officially launched in Canada on Sunday. The wildly popular video game sends players on a quest to find superimposed animated characters on a map-like interface using the camera on their smartphones. It is currently the most downloaded app in the Apple app store.

Powers said Tuesday the sign has brought people into the store who wouldn’t normally

shop there but hear it’s a good place to play the augmented reality video game.

“This has just blown up bigger than anybody has expected,” he said, adding that the various Pokemon merchandise the store carries have also been flying off the shelves.

“It leads people to travel down streets they normally wouldn’t. It’s bringing a lot of foot traffic down to the side streets and a lot of people are coming in and buying things because they were just in the area.”

Some Canadian businesses have been jumping on the craze by actively encouraging potential customers to use their shops as PokeStops or Pokemon gyms - locations to play the game.

But marketing professor Ken Wong cautioned that although it may seem like a no-brainer for businesses to capitalize on Pokemon Go’s popularity, it can also backfire.

“It’s a statement of what your brand is, who it stands for and who it seeks to appeal to,” said Wong, who is with the

Stephen J.R. Smith School of Business at Queen’s University.

“While it may generate traffic for you, whether or not that traffic generates profitability in the short, and more importantly, long term is a different story. If you’re in a business that needs a promotion to stay in business, you’re already on a slippery slope.”

Wong said the publicity stunt would mostly profit businesses that appeal to the biggest demographic of Pokemon Go players or have a link to the game - for example, stores that sell cellphone accessories or comic books.

There may be a potential to grow business in the short term, but he doesn’t see that enduring.

“Eventually the novelty will wear off. There will always be diehards but it’s no different than the Trivial Pursuit craze,” he said.

“If you are the right kind of business, get in as soon as you can when the fad has the greatest duration of effect, because if you wait too long, the fad will be over.”

Dynamic U.S. presidential election fuelling novelty bets GEMMA K ARSTENSSMITH Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - Most Canadians can’t vote in the U.S. presidential election, but it hasn’t stopped many from using their cash to voice an opinion on who they think will win.

The B.C. Lottery Corp. is taking online novelty bets on the American election, and spokesman Doug Cheng says there has been rapid growth in wagers since presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign began to gain momentum.

Cheng says U.S. election bets have become the highest earner on the website’s novelty betting category, surpassing the Oscars.

Cheng says the site has currently has the odds of Democrat Hillary Clinton winning the White House at about 2-5 and Trump’s odds at slightly less than 2-1.

He says in B.C., 38 per cent of people placing

bets have their money on Clinton becoming president, compared with 25 per cent for Trump.

But the BCLC site can also be used in Manitoba, and Cheng says the majority of people there have their money on the Republican candidate winning in November.

The corporation’s odds makers are constantly tracking the presidential race, adjusting the odds with every policy announcement and gaffe.

There have been stark changes in Trump’s odds, Cheng says.

In January 2015, they were set at 100-1, and a $10 bet that the businessman would become president would earn $1,010. Today, the return on that bet would be $28.50.

“I think that shows how he shaved his odds and how he went from being the underdog to being a viable option, economics wise.”

Cheng says the largest bet made for Trump

so far has been about $1,700 and there have been three wagers over $1,000, while there have been two bets of more than $2,000 for Clinton.

This isn’t the first time BCLC has taken bets on U.S. politics. It started in 2014, and Cheng says they were the first jurisdiction in Canada to do so.

“This is a fun way for British Columbians to take part in the election, even though most of us can’t vote in the U.S.” Canadians usually follow American presidential elections quite closely because the results can have an impact north of the border, Cheng added, but this race is a bit different.

“I think this election in particular is garnering even more attention because I think you have a person like Donald Trump who is such a dynamic and yet controversial candidate just dominating the headlines and I think you see that transferring over to our wagering.”

Trudeau urges youth to join national council TERRY PEDWELL Canadian Press

OTTAWA - Justin Trudeau skipped over normal government communication channels Tuesday in a bid to speak directly to young people he wants to see serve on a national council to advise him on their priorities.

Trudeau launched the application process for the council on Twitter, then spent an hour taking questions on the social media site about how the council will work.

“How we pass legislation that better reflects the concerns that young people have right now and the world they want to be a part of in the future is what this prime minister’s youth council is all about,” Trudeau said in a recorded video message to kick off the event.

“I can’t wait for everyone to sign up and join.”

Between July 22 and Aug. 12, anyone between the ages of 16 and 24 can apply for seats on the 30-member council, which will advise the prime minister on is-

sues affecting youth, including employment, access to education and climate change.

Employment is an issue of particular concern, with the country’s youth unemployment rate standing at 13 per cent and almost 363,000 young people looking for work in June.

Trudeau vowed during last year’s campaign to offer a 12 month holiday on employment insurance premiums to employers who give permanent jobs to people aged 1824. But the proposed measure didn’t receive a mention in the March budget.

Successful applicants from the first round will be invited to meet with Trudeau in October.

A second set of applications will be accepted until October 7, with the added members joining the inaugural group for a meeting with the prime minister next year.

Trudeau’s Twitter session marked the first time he used an online-only channel to make an announce-

ment as prime minister, foregoing a regular press release or news conference in front of reporters and cameras, his office said.

Trudeau did launch the Liberal party platform via Facebook Live during the election campaign, but media organizations were present for the unveiling.

At one point during his tenure as prime minister, Stephen Harper announced an entire cabinet shuffle via Twitter, before later issuing the standard media products.

While using social media to push an unfiltered political statement holds promise for staying on message, it does have its drawbacks, as evidenced Tuesday.

Many of the questions posed to the prime minister touched on his youth council message, but some participants had other things on their minds.

“Are you starting a new boy band,” one asked.

“No,” was Trudeau’s quick response.
