Kimberley Summer The-atre is back, after a one year hiatus, and prepared to mount a very ambitious season.
The KST Board is planning two plays at two different ven-ues this year — a musical, the Wizard of Oz at McKim The-atre, and the comedy Self Help at Centre 64 Theatre.
The Board has hired Tony James from Victoria to pro-duce both shows. James has worked 30 years in the theatre business and is looking for-ward to a summer in Kimber-ley.
Auditions have already been held at the performing arts colleges in Vancouver and Victoria, and locals will have an opportunity to audi-tion this Sunday, March 10 at Centre 64.
With two shows being cast, a variety of roles are being looked for, from chorus for the musical to children’s roles to leads and extras.
“We will begin with the children’s roles on March 10,” James said. “The auditions begin at 1:30 so if parents could have their children there at about 1:15ish. Then
we’ll go on to adult roles after the children.”
These will be standard au-ditions. Children should have a short dance routine pre-pared, as well as a song.
For adults, please bring a resumé and head shot, be prepared to perform one song of your choosing, a mono-logue, one song from the Wiz-ard of Oz and be prepared to learn a short piece of choreog-raphy. Please wear appropri-ate dance and footwear.
Following local auditions, there will be auditions in Cal-gary.
“It’s quite a vast season and we want to pull a good cast together,” James said. “We want all levels of years and experience. It gives young people the chance to learn from older folks.”
There are six full time, paid lead roles and two part time. There are also many smaller roles to fill out the cast.
Announcements of audi-tion results will be made by April 1.
In addition to actors, Jones will be looking for key produc-tion personnel as well.
“I’m looking for some paid positions, such as stage man-ager, set design, costume and props. And there are a lot of volunteer positions, maybe a photographer who can shoot the show, a videographer, makeup, hair.
Kimberley City Council has agreed to let another condo at Sullivan Stone opt out of the rental covenant, but one Councillor thinks that may be a slippery slope.
Coun. Albert Hoglund has opposed the idea before and voted against this motion as well.

must be available for rent through a bona fide property manager when not being utilized for personal use. Most of Kimberley’s ski hill condos are under this cove-nant.

— someone with a special events coordinator back-ground would be ideal.”
Jones says he has been to Kimberley before and looks forward to the summer.
“I’ve heard of Kimberley Summer Theatre and I was just looking for something to do this summer and it seemed interesting. I think it’s great that there is a summer theatre in that part of the province. To have that sort of professional theatre in the region is great. Not many towns can say that.”
James will be in Kimberley next week. Anyone interested in being a part of Summer Theatre is asked to email him at [email protected]

RCMP agent later assaulted
girlfriend, police officers, court
toldBY C AM ForteMS
Daily News Staff Reporter
The lifelong criminal who signed on to be-come a police agent in a Cranbrook investigation was later convicted of several counts of assault following his role in the sting.
Garry Shank was in the third day of cross-ex-amination Friday in the murder conspiracy trial of three men. Lonnie Adams, Lorne Carry and
Colin Correia are charged with conspiracy to commit murder for events that occurred in 2009 and 2010.
Shank signed on in 2010 to become a police agent, signing a contract and wearing a recording device as he allegedly plotted with the three men in RCMP scenarios to kill a drug rival.
But early last year — after the close of the in-vestigation and awaiting his chance to testify in the murder conspiracy — Shank got into a heat-ed fight with his girl-friend in Winnipeg that ended up with him as-saulting police.

On Saturday night Sully Sullivan will be pre-sented the B.C.A.H.A.’s “Outstanding Player Award”.
Sullivan was nominat-ed for this award at the annual B.C.A.H.A. meet-ing last fall in Penticton. It is awarded only to a player judged outstanding in B.C. hockey over a period of at least 10 years. Previ-ous winners were Harry brown of Kimberley, Ab Cronie and Duke Scodel-lero of Trail.
The Way it WasMr. Ed Benson, the 1st
Vice President of the B.C.A.H.A. will present the award to Sullivan just prior to the start of the 2nd period in Saturday night’s game against Trail.
The Kimberley Lions have put up a trophy to be emblematic of the Kootenay bantam cham-pionship in honour of one of Kimberley’s best known sportsman, the late Charlie Schulli. As the East – West Kootenay Bantam play-offs will be held in the West Koote-nay this year the trophy will be presented to Mr. Benson who will in turn make the presentation to the first winner in the West Kootenay.

Mrs. Lu Maartman and her rink, Ina Hansen, third; Isobel Leith, sec-ond; and Rose Lilley, lead, left on Wednesday for Vancouver to partici-pate in the Eaton’s B.C. Ladies’ Curling Champi-onships. Play begins at the Little Mountain Curl-ing Rink in Vancouver on Saturday, February 20th and will continue until the 22nd.
It is expected there will be sixteen rinks par-ticipating in the play-downs, two rinks from every zone in the provincwe.
The best wishes of the club are extended to Mrs. Maartman’s rink and hopes are high that they will again bring the B.C. Trophy to Kimberley.
CaRNIvaL PRePaRatIONS
NeaRLY COMPLeteWith the fourth annu-
al Ice Carnival just over one week away, every at-tention is being given to those important last-minute details, which will make the ’54 Carnival the best yet.
One important change is being made this year, instead of the show being spread over two nights there will be two shows, one in the af-ternoon and one in the evening on Saturday, February 27th. Two out-standing guest stars will be performing at both shows. Miss Reta David, formerly of Vancouver, and now the professional instructor of the Nelson F.S.C. A gold medalist Miss David has captured the hearts of both Van-couver and Nelson audi-ences with her outstand-ing skating ability. The other guest star is an out-standing performer from Medicine Hat, Alberta, who specializes in come-dy and who stops at nothing to put over her act.
Miss Arlene Morris of Kimberley, who has supervised the “Parade of America” has been kept busy arranging the groups, solos and duets, which make up the gal-axy of colour and rhythm in the production. The Rotary High School Band under the baton of Mr. Ralph Yarwood will again be one of the fea-ture attractions of the show.

gRade 8 StudeNt ReCOgNIZed FOR POeM BY LegION Grade 8 student Cassie Quaife was recognized by the legion for a poem written in Mrs. Schacher’s Humanities 8 class. Cassie’s poem won second place in the Remembrance Day Literary Contest. Congratulations Cassie!
From Page 3Shank pleaded guilty
to one count of assault against his girlfriend and two counts of as-saulting a police officer for events in January last year. He received a jail sentence of 118 days — time served in jail awaiting outcome of the matter.
“Not only did you break her skull open, she fell to the floor . . . then she wakes up and you yell at her to clean it (blood) up,” defence lawyer Jim Heller told Carry.
Shank testified that when Winnipeg police
attended to the report of a domestic dispute, he was Tasered three times, struck with po-lice batons and hit with bear spray. Police didn’t remove his handcuffs, even after he was put in cells.
Shank testified that
his RCMP handlers who worked with him during the Cranbrook scenarios came to visit him while he sat in a Manitoba jail on the charges.
“I saw them twice,” he said, adding they paid him $100 on one occasion and $165 on the other.
Heller also asked Shank why he’s occa-sionally told people that he has cancer.
“. . . I lie all the time,” he said. “That’s what people do.”
The trial started in February and is expect-ed to last three months.

An 11-year old Burnaby boy has racked up $22,000 in roaming fees on his dad’s cellphone during a Mex-
ican vacation, CBC News reports.Now, I’m guessing that’s not part of the
all-inclusive package of-fered by the resort.
The boy’s father is ap-palled and fighting the cell-phone company with ev-erything he’s got and he has managed to get the charges down to about $500.
Still, $22,000. The shock could have given the poor man a coronary.
It seems the family was enjoying a win-ter vacation in sunny Mexico and the boy got too much sun. He was advised to spend a day indoors. He used Dad’s phone and streamed video off You Tube for some 12 hours.
Dad is protesting, saying Canadian cell phone companies are gouging customers on roaming fees, and his company is ap-parently charging more than any other Canadian company. The boy downloaded 700 MB of data, which would cost a Mexi-can user $20. That same amount cost the Canadian customer $22,000.
It does seem a little extreme.I think we have all learned a lesson
here. There are some things you just don’t need to take with you on vacation.
No, not cellphones — kids.Now before you get all indignant on
your child’s behalf, tell me how much fun it is to sit in an airport, waiting for your inev-itably delayed flight, with a couple of whin-ey kids.
“Why aren’t we leaving yet?”“I’m bored.”“Eric is making mean
faces at me.”“Mooooooooom, when
is the plane going to get heeeeeeeere?”
Good times. When my kids were
younger, we didn’t go south in the winter, but we did take summer va-cations which involved driving great dis-tances. At that time we lived in Northern Ontario, so one summer we’d go west to British Columbia, the next we’d go to Southern Ontario. Any of you who have driven across Ontario will know that it’s a good two and a half days from the western border to the south.
My point is, long trips with kids. Looooooong trips.
It was our intent to teach our children about their own country, to give them an idea of the vastness that is Canada, the great lakes, the mountains, the endless prairies. Let me tell you, there is nothing more endless than a prairie when you have three young children sharing the back seat of a Honda Civic.
I recall one particular incident on a drive to the west coast. We were on day
three of the drive, tootling along past Rev-elstoke, near the Enchanted Forest tourist attraction. I remember our exact location because I found the word Enchanted somewhat ironic. The kids were tired, cranky and out of sorts. And bugging me. I was driving. My husband was snoozing. The kids were complaining, fighting, argu-ing. My husband woke up and barked at the kids. Crying and yelling ensued.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I stopped the car on the side of the road. Yes, they made me stop that car.
I got out, slammed the door and started walking down the highway. My husband got out, slammed his door and walked in the other direction. We each walked a good ways trying to get a grip.
Finally, we both walked back to the car. The kids were silent. We were silent. On we went. The next day in Chilliwack, we did what any sensible parent would do — we bought a bigger vehicle. So in a sense, our children cost us at least $22,000 on that trip and we didn’t even have a cellphone with us.
We bought a lovely Toyota 4-Runner. Nice car. Nice and big.
But not big enough.The next summer, on our trip to South-
ern Ontario, we bought a Suburban.Talk about roaming charges.

trail ModificationsI must take issue with the ongoing
transformation of many trails in the Eager Hills area of the Cranbrook Community Forest. These trails have been utilized for years, mostly by hikers, and have remained pristine until recently. Trees are being cut and removed, rocks are being piled at trail intersections, brush is being cut back and trails are being shovelled and smoothed to facilitate bike traffic.
These modifications might be okay if they weren’t performed at the expense of other trail users. The true woods experi-ence is being rapidly eroded as the area is beginning to resemble a gymkhana course.
If a trail requires extensive change to qualify for bike traffic, then possibly it should have been avoided in the first place, and a more suitable route utilized.
There is enough room for everybody to pursue their passion in the area, as long as it is treated with more respect than it has recently been shown.
Lorne CousinsCranbrook
the CullI have lived in Cranbrook for almost 30
years. I never used to see deer in my yard, walking down the streets, in the school
yards. However, in the last 10 years, we have had a steady influx of them, and it seems to get worse every year. Now there is not a day goes by when I do not see deer somewhere in my daily travels. They are now in my yard almost daily.
This is not from “over-crowding,” as Cranbrook itself has not grown much at all in the past 30 years. I believe the deer that are living in town were likely born in town and know nothing else. I have had three run-ins with deer in the past two years. If I walk my dogs down Cranbrook streets, I have to carry a stick to defend my dogs and myself. I have two small dogs that the deer perceive as a threat. My dogs are al-ways on a leash, and never even bark at the deer. Yet we seem to be targets. I have also been jogging by myself and have ac-tually crossed to the opposite side of the street, and have still had the deer come after me.
I am tired of living like this. We have substantial forest for the deer to live in — that is where they should be.
I commend the City for taking action, and fully support the cull. I believe all the deer that live within city limits need to be removed, and if more come in we must discourage them from staying. No one should be feeding the deer, nor letting them bed down in our yards. We all need to be very proactive about herding them out of town, and if they do not stay out,
then the cull is necessary.We are dealing with wild animals, and
they should never be allowed to “live” within city limits. We have been compla-cent for too long, and I am happy to see the City doing something about it — and yes, it is a problem, which will only get worse with our complacency. As for the comment about not knowing whether the deer caught in a trap is a “problem” deer or an “innocent” deer, I believe that is missing the point. If the deer is in town, it is a problem.

the CullYes, we are in favour of the deer cull.
Looking out our window we saw deer climbing up our cedar trees, which have two sets of protection on them — wire and burlap. Our yard has become a burlap landscaping site.
We are also tired of the deer droppings. Maybe the “save the deer” folks would help with the expense of picking up the deer poop.
To those folks who are feeding the deer, it does not help the problem.

PAGE 6 TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 2013
Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver attended last week’s inter-national conference in Vancouver on
liquefied natural gas development. I spoke with him about Canada’s energy exports and emissions. Here are excerpts from that discussion:
TF: President Barack Obama’s recent state of union address seemed to hint at approval for the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to U.S. re-fineries, with perhaps some measure to go along with it like a carbon cap and trade market. Your government has backed North American cap and trade before. Would you do it again?
JO: No, we’re not thinking about that at all. The U.S. Congress is opposed to that concept from what I understand.
TF: Your party ran ads targeting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and equating cap and trade with a carbon tax. They’re not the same, are they?
JO: The end result is that taxes increase because of how we handle carbon. It hasn’t been successful in Europe at all. Anyway, it’s not part of our thinking. We are making significant progress on green-house gas emissions. Our recent regula-tions regarding heavy-duty vehicles, the previous rules regarding cars and light trucks, which are identical to the U.S., are going to be helpful.
And also the rules relating to coal-fired electricity. It’s our objective to see all those coal plants closed, and in that re-gard we’re certainly ahead of the U.S.
Coal is contributing 40 times the
greenhouse gas emissions of the oil sands. And actually the oil sands are less than half the emissions from coal-fired elec-tricity in the state of Illinois.
We’re moving with the U.S. on the over-arching objective of reducing our
greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent from 2005 to 2020, but we’re also doing other things that the U.S. hasn’t yet decided to do. We’ve been ap-proaching the reduction of emissions on a sectoral basis, and the next area of focus will be regulations in the oil and gas sector.
TF: You’re comfortable with the idea that exporting LNG that replaces coal is an appropriate step at this time, one that’s doable as opposed to these Kyoto-type ges-tures?
JO: It is doable. And on a global basis, this would be a very significant develop-ment. If China, for example, could signifi-cantly move from coal to gas, that would have a huge impact.
Canada’s small. We’re about two per cent of global emissions. We have to do our part, that’s the responsible thing to do, but it’s the big emitters that are going to make the difference to global emis-sions.
TF: International Energy Agency talks about self-sufficiency in the U.S., oil and gas, by 2035. What does that mean for the Canadian economy?
JO: Firstly, I don’t think they’re going to be self-sufficient in oil. North America will be self-sufficient in gas and oil.
What it means is, for gas we’re going to have to find new markets, and for oil
we’re going to have to find markets to sustain the growth in supply.
The United States will still be a big buyer of Canadian oil. We’re shipping about two and a half million barrels a day, of which a million comes from the oil sands.
Right now we’re losing about $50 mil-lion a day because of the crude oil bottle-neck in the U.S. midwest, compared to international prices. We absolutely must find new markets, which is why our gov-ernment in principle is supporting the transport of oil and gas to the west, to the east, continuing to the south and possibly even the north.

The Kimberley Dyna-miters’ players have left town following their year-end banquet on Sunday night as the team handed out awards to recognize individual players for their contri-bution to the club.
Nitro rearguard Isaac Schacher wasn’t able to make it to the dinner as inclement weather pre-vented him from return-ing to Kimberley, as he had joined the Victoria Royals for a pair of home games.
Shacher picked up the best defenceman and the most valuable player awards, and could possibly join the Royals for their playoff run.
Jason Richter also picked up a pair of awards, nabbing the coaches award and the rookie of the year award.
KIJHL PLAYOFFSThe Dynamiters ran
into a tough opponent in their first-round match-up against the Golden Rockets, which engi-neered a four game sweep.
The Rockets then sat back as the Fernie Ghostriders and the Co-
lumbia Valley Rockies scrapped it out for the second spot in the divi-sional final.
Columbia Valley won two of the first three games, but then the Rid-ers woke up and rattled off a trio of victories to win the series.
Fernie ended the reg-ular season on top of the Eddie Mountain Divi-sion standings for the seventh straight season.
The Rockets and the Riders begin their series on Tuesday night in Fernie.
Elsewhere around the KIJHL, the Castlegar Rebels defeated the Spo-kane Braves in five games. The Rebels move on to face the Beaver Val-ley Nitehawks, which won their opening series against the Nelson Leafs in six games.
In the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference, the results were relatively predictable.
The North Okanagan Knights beat the Kam-loops Storm in five games, and will face the Sicamous Eagles. The Eagles got past the Revel-stoke Grizzlies in the first round, losing their first game, but then rattling off four consecutive wins.
The Kelowna Chiefs downed the Summer-land Steam in six games, and will challenge the Osoyoos Coyotes, which defeated the Princeton Posse in their first-round matchup.
WHL Notes: A pair of WHL players picked up entry level contracts with NHL teams on Monday. Taylor Peters, a forward with the Portland Win-terhawks, has inked a contract with the Dallas Stars. Peters, who has gone undrafted by the pros throughout his WHL career, has previ-ously been affiliated with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Minnesota Wild. Josh Nicholls, a forward with the Saskatoon Blades, has also report-edly put his signature to a contract with the New York Rangers. Nicholls was previously drafted by the Maple Leafs.

Brier teams keeping eye on Olympic trialsDONNA SPENCER
Canadian Press
EDMONTON - There’s a subtle class sys-tem at the Canadian men’s curling champi-onship.
There are the three men’s teams that already have an Olympic trials berth, and the others scrambling to join them.
The trials that will de-termine Canada’s men’s and women’s curling teams at the 2014 Olym-pic Games in Sochi, Rus-sia, are scheduled for Dec. 1-8 in Winnipeg. Eight men’s and eight women’s teams will vie for the right to wear the Maple Leaf in Sochi.
Alberta’s Kevin Mar-tin, the reigning Olympic men’s champion, Ontar-io’s Glenn Howard and Manitoba’s Jeff Stough-ton, who are coinciden-tally the favourites to win the Tim Hortons Brier this week, have their tri-als berths locked down.
On the women’s side,
Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones, Alberta’s Heather Nedohin and Saskatche-wan’s Stephanie Lawton have filled three trials spots.
Three more men’s and three more women’s teams will be deter-mined by May 1, which puts pressure over the final weeks of this season on teams with Olympic aspirations.
The remaining four - two men’s and two wom-en’s teams - will come out of a November pre-trials event in Kitch-ener, Ont.
Stoughton punched his direct ticket to trials by winning the Canada Cup in December. The Winnipeg skip says it felt like a burden lifted.
“We had talked over the summer that our No. 1 goal was to get to the trials as soon as possi-ble,” Stoughton said. “It was a great feeling to be able to pull something off like that and a huge relief
when it was done.“It took some of the
pressure off where we could just try and per-form. Once we got the trials spot, we re-jigged our goals for the rest of the year.”
There isn’t a short ex-planation on how teams get to trials and pre-trials. The Canadian Curling Association’s website lays it out and even has a section on who would be in and who would be out if the trials and pre-trials started today.
The best way to put it is the winners of curling’s major events between the start of 2011 and the end of April either have a trials berth locked up or are positioned to claim one.
Teams accumulate points from their results at World Curling Tour events and provincial, national and world championships and are then ranked in the CCA’s Canadian Team Ranking System. Howard’s team, for example, topped the CTRS in 2011-2012 to get into trials.
Howard won both the Canadian and world ti-tles last year, which con-tributed big points to his total.
“Obviously the long-term goal the last three years is get yourself to the Olympic trials,” the On-tario skip said. “As soon as you get your spot in the trials, that’s as far as you can go in that pro-cess and we did that at
the end of the last year. That’s done.”
For other teams, how-ever, the chase for points is still on. Not all teams jockeying for trials spots made it to the Brier, so the even the 20 points for fourth place are points another team isn’t get-ting.
Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen, Calgary’s Kevin Koe and Toronto’s John Epping didn’t win their provincials to get to the Brier, but are closing in on trials spots if they can maintain their rankings. This year’s Canadian women’s curling cham-pion Rachel Homan of Ottawa could grab a women’s berth as well.
Northern Ontario’s Brad Jacobs and Brad Gushue of Newfound-land and Labrador ap-pear bound for pre-trials in Kitchener, unless they catch fire and win enough in the next seven weeks to join Martin, Howard and Stoughton.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco signed a new contract Monday worth $120.6 million over six years, making him the highest paid player in NFL his-tory.
The Super Bowl MVP will receive a $29 mil-lion signing bonus and $52 million in guaran-teed money. He will be paid $51 million over the first two years of the deal.
“It’s not really about the money, it’s about that respect,’ Flacco said minutes after signing.
The 28-year-old Flacco is the first start-ing quarterback in NFL history to make the playoffs in each of his first five seasons. He’s led the Ravens to nine wins over that span, tying Tom Brady for most among quarter-
backs in the first five years of a career.
Flacco threw 11 touchdown passes and no interceptions during the recent post-season and led the Ravens to a 34-31 Super Bowl win over San Francisco.
“He’s a significant reason we’ve been to the playoffs five years in a row, played in three AFC championship games, and now, we are Super Bowl champs with Joe as MVP,” Ra-vens general manager Ozzie Newsome said.
Flacco’s perfor-mance this past off-sea-son almost certainly helped him receive his record-breaking con-tract, but Flacco said, “I think I’m an asset to this team. ... The fact that we won the Super Bowl just comes with that. If we didn’t win the Super Bowl this year, I still think I’m worth the same.”
Flacco signs richest contract in NFL history
NHL lays out new rules for draft lottery
“As soon as you get your spot in the
trials, that’s as far as you can go in that
process and we did that at the end of the
last year. That’s done.”

TOM C ANAVANAssociated Press
NEWARK, N.J. - The NHL is borrowing a page from the NBA when it comes to the draft lottery.
The NHL an-nounced Monday that all 14 teams that miss the playoffs, or the teams that hold the rights to the top 14 picks, will be eligible to win the No. 1 draft pick when the lottery is held on April 29.
Under the previous system, the five teams with the fewest points had the opportunity to win the top selection since no team could move up more than four spots.
The league also an-nounced that all seven rounds of the draft at the Prudential Center will be held on June 30. The previous six drafts were held over a two-day span, with last
year’s event taking place in Pittsburgh.
The draft lottery will be weighted with the teams having the fewest points in the regular season having the best chance of winning. The team with the fewest points will have a 25 per cent chance of winning. The non-playoff team with the most points will have a 0.5 per cent chance of winning.
While the top pick can now go to any of the 14 non-playoff clubs, or the team own-ing the rights to the first pick of a non-playoff club, the odds of win-ning the lottery are un-changed from previous years.
No club will move down more than one position as a result of the lottery. The remain-ing first-round drafting positions are deter-mined by the Stanley Cup playoffs.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Most people go on a tirade ev-ery once in a while. Why would you be any different? Others might not know how to respond when you are like this. You’ll need to make the first move in order to clarify your actions. You will come up with the right ap-proach. Tonight: At work late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Plan on dealing with an irate associate in the near future. In the interim, stay on top of everything you must do. Don’t worry or let this situation mar your mood. A meeting provokes unusual ideas, which provide a new opportunity. Tonight: Why not enjoy yourself? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your inclination to defer to someone else is the right move to make. Your ability to deal with an angry boss or superior will be tested. Know what is appropriate to do in this situa-tion. Do not lose your sense of humor. Tonight: Let others do
all the talking. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your day-to-day life could keep you busy. Today is a passage -- nothing more, nothing less. Take a walk to relax. By late af-ternoon, someone will become much clearer, and a discussion will become possible. Tonight: Try out others’ ideas or sugges-tions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You know more than many about an evolving situation. Know that you won’t get clar-ity unless you stay focused on one issue at a time. Don’t try to multi-task. Someone’s difficult personality could evolve into a most intoxicating personality. Tonight: Try a stressbuster. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could have difficulty with a child or loved one. This person seems to want a reason to get angry. You might want to ignore this situation until he or she has worked through it. Feelings run deep on both sides. Give im-pulsiveness a rest. Tonight: Use your imagination. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Figure out where would be best to focus your high energy. Oth-ers might be touchy and feisty. You know how to handle this situation, but you’d prefer to pull back and not be involved. Late day plans could change at the last minute. Be flexible. To-night: Head home and relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Try not to get too irritated by a risk that backfires or by a chal-lenging individual in your life. Decide to carefully question more of your choices. Go with the tried and true, and walk away from anything that is iffy. Tonight: Join a friend or loved one for dinner and a movie. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Express yourself clearly, and don’t leave anything to chance today. You will make a big impression on someone as a result. Sometimes it might be necessary to be strict or estab-lish boundaries. Do just that, but also explain your reasoning. Tonight: Keep to your budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have held back from doing something for a long time, and
you might wonder if you have other options. You do, but you seem to keep coming up with negative outcomes no matter which way you turn. Consider that you might like the status quo. Tonight: Nap, then decide. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use the daylight hours to push a project through to completion. Others might not be supportive and could become obstacles. Remember, everyone has a different thought process and sees life from his or her own perspective. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Many people make assump-tions, and no matter what you say, they might not hear you. You could feel as if you can’t impact their thoughts. Whether there is a backfire or a success, accept responsibility. You might be able to drive your point home later. Tonight: Step outside.

Dear Annie: I’m a junior in high school. I thought everything would happen this year -- the great friends, the boyfriend, etc. On all of the TV shows, the juniors are having boys over, getting drunk, going on dates, having sex and so much more. I know my life isn’t a TV show, but I’m no different than last year. I want a boyfriend. I want to party. I want to have my first kiss. I want to be a teenager. But I feel as distant from my friends as ever. And there is a boy I really like who is sweet, kind, smart and nonjudgmental, but I’m not allowed to date. I know that being a teenager means disobeying my parents, and though that seems like the worst thing I could ever do, I’m slipping. I don’t know what to do. My grades and al-cohol and this boy and drugs are all lurking in my mind. I’m tired of being this perfect little angel. I know I’m only 16, but what do I do? -- Troubled in High School Dear Troubled: Don’t believe everything you see on TV. Those programs are an en-hanced version of what the producers and writers think is exciting to watch. Seeing kids fall apart is interesting -- like watching a train wreck. Most high school juniors are not out partying, drinking, having sex and doing drugs. They are going to school, study-ing and working at part-time jobs. And the smart ones are also listening to their parents because they recognize that they have a fu-ture to consider. Talk to your parents about dating -- most kids are allowed to do so at 16. You also can discuss these issues with your school coun-selor, favorite teachers and other adults you respect and trust. We totally understand that you hoped your life would suddenly become amazing, but please don’t be foolish enough to mess up the good things you have by letting your hormones run away with your common sense. Dear Annie: I am a 70-year-old widow who parted ways with my first love 50 years ago. Our only contact since then was five years ago, when I mailed some old pictures of him I had discovered. His thank-you note includ-ed an invitation to call “them” if I was ever in his area. I will be traveling to the city where he lives in April. While I am eager to suggest meeting for lunch, I am not sure this would be proper. I believe he is married, but my intentions are only to catch up with someone for whom I once cared greatly. Should I invite him with his wife? Should I simply shelve the entire idea? -- Perplexed in Phoenix Dear Phoenix: You are over-thinking this. By all means, suggest meeting for lunch, and please include his wife. If you only want to reminisce and catch up, there should be no hint of ulterior motives. You might even make a new friend. Dear Annie: “Conflicted Adoptee from Kansas” wanted her birth mother to tell her other children that they have a sibling. I gave up a son 30 years ago. When he was 18, we got together to discuss why I gave him up. I had to tell my girls that they have a half-brother. Although that part went well, answering questions from my son was a lot harder. It opened up all kinds of wounds. I was worried about his opinion of me, but he was so mature. He said, “I know you are not the same person you were back then.” It is difficult to open your heart to some-one, even if you feel they have the right to the information. “Conflicted” should let her birth mother know she isn’t judging her, and that she respects her wishes about telling her children. Giving up a child was probably the hardest thing she has ever done. -- Mom on Both Sides Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

VICTORIA – Rich-mond-Steveston MLA John Yap has resigned from the B.C. cabinet pending the outcome of an investigation into government conduct on outreach to ethnic commu-nities.
Premier Christy Clark told the legislature Monday that Yap is stepping aside from his duties as advanced education and multicultur-alism minister until an in-ternal investigation is com-plete.
B.C. Liberal MLAs held an extended caucus meeting Monday to deal with the fall-out from a leaked memo de-
scribing use government re-sources to boost the party’s popularity with ethnic com-munities.
Cabinet ministers held a hastily arranged meeting in Vancouver Sunday, and emerged united in support of Clark.
One disputed point is a plan to apologize in the leg-islature for the “head tax” on Chinese immigrants, im-posed by Ottawa from 1885 to 1935. Such apologies are proposed in the strategy doc-ument as “quick wins” be-fore the May 14 provincial
election.Vancouver-Fraserview
MLA Kash Heed objected to the move on the weekend, telling CKNW radio that such an apology would be “hol-low.”
In a terse statement is-sued Friday afternoon, Clark announced that she has ac-cepted the resignation of her long-time assistant, Kim Haakstad, who distributed the ethnic voter plan to party and government staff via their personal e-mail ad-dresses.
Haakstad, Clark’s deputy
chief of staff, and “outreach” staff from the premier’s of-fice are subject to an inter-nal investigation ordered by Clark Thursday. John Dyble, head of the public service, is to examine whether govern-ment communications re-sources were redirected to help deliver ethnic votes to the B.C. Liberal Party.
A January 2012 draft strategy memo leaked to the NDP opposition discusses ways to improve the govern-ing party’s popularity with immigrant communities, in-cluding recruiting new
members and spokespeople to call and write to ethnic media outlets. Clark issued an apology for the docu-ment, read in the legislature Thursday by Deputy Pre-mier Rich Coleman.
“The document did not recognize there are lines that cannot be crossed in conducting this outreach [to ethnic communities] and it is unacceptable,” the state-ment says. “The language in this draft document and some of the recommenda-tions are absolutely inap-propriate.”
B.C. Minister quits over ethnic memo

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Mounties told highway drivers in parts of the Prairies on Sunday to pull into the nearest town and sit tight to avoid crashing, or getting stranded, in a snowstorm that was whalloping southern Alberta and Saskatchewan and was moving east to Manitoba.
Many highways south of Calgary were shut down on Sunday after-noon due to the poor driving con-
ditions and police told people to find accommodations in the near-est towns they could.
“It’s not good. There’s drifting snow, limited visibility, icy roads and a lot of vehicles in the ditch,’’ said Cpl. Cate Dickman at the RCMP detachment in Oyen, Alta., where officials declared a local state of emergency late in the after-noon.
Dickman said the community, which is about 250 kilometres
northeast of Calgary, was looking at putting up travellers in the local Royal Canadian Legion overnight.
Police said officials in Fort Ma-cLeod, south of Calgary, were also planning to accommodate strand-ed travellers in the town’s arena or community centre. While Highway 2 to Calgary was reopened by the early evening, police said travel on all roads in the area was still very slippery with poor visibility.
In Saskatchewan, the RCMP
said its operations centre in Regina had recorded 50 calls about crashes on Sunday afternoon throughout central and southern Saskatche-wan, mostly due to poor weather and driving conditions. By early Sunday evening, police had closed a section of Highway 1 west of Regi-na.
Winter storm and blowing snow warnings remained in effect across the southern portions of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba on
Sunday night and were forecast to continue through until Monday across all three provinces.
Police in southern Alberta said that anyone stranded in their vehi-cles in Alberta should call 911, but added vehicles that have been in accidents or become stuck in ditch-es wouldn’t be towed because it wasn’t safe.
Calgary International Airport re-mained open on Sunday although numerous flights were cancelled.
