FOR THE TOWNSMANA black bear has been

spotted on the Cranbrook end of the Rails to Trails pathway near Kennedy Road over the past day or two.

In addition to the black bear, a cinnamon-coloured sow and three cubs were also spotted around noon on Tuesday, Sept. 1.

Residents in the Kenne-dy Road area have noticed the bear feeding on choke-cherry bushes for the past week, but it has since moved on to a spot near Rails to Trails. To date it has not been considered a nui-sance animal.

The public using Rails to Trails are strongly encour-aged to be very cautious while using the pathway

and be aware of the black bear’s presence.

If you see or have issues with any wildlife, including bears, please contact the provincial RAPP line to re-port it at 1-877-952-7277, 24 hours a day, seven days per weeks.

This information is passed along directly to the local branch of the Conser-vation Officer Service, where it is recorded and depending on the wildlife issue it will be responded to.

Please do not contact City of Cranbrook Bylaw staff or the local branch of the SPCA with wildlife is-sues. They are only able to deal with domestic animals – not wildlife.

ARNE PE TRYSHENProgram a new slot in

your AM/FM radio dial, be-cause the region’s newest entrant Summit 107 FM will be up to full operation in a week or so.

Melissa Hamm, station manager of Summit 107 FM, said the preparations for the full launch are going great.

“We’re in our testing pe-riod now, with just music, nothing live, for three weeks, just to get all the signals sorted out and make sure there aren’t any kinks in the system,” she said. “Then we’ll be going

live at the end of the week of September the 8th.”

That will include shows and news.

The testing phase is mandated by Industry Can-ada as part of the process of setting up a radio station.

Hamm said they have been getting great respons-es to the music, including a lot of phone calls.

“We’ve been getting a lot of great feedback and we’re excited to be here,” she said.

She described the music as Adult Contemporary.

New station prepares to hit airwaves

T R E VO R C R AW L E YDue to cooler tempera-

tures and wetter conditions forecast in the near future, the Southeast Fire Centre (SEFC) has lifted a campfire ban that has been in place since early July.

With the ban rescinded, the following activities are permitted:

• Campfires no larger than a half-meter wide by a half-meter high.

• An open fire in an out-door stove.

In addition, the City of Cranbrook has also lifted a campfire ban within munic-ipal boundaries, following in the footsteps of the SEFC.

As with the SEFC, the city

is limiting any campfires to within 24 inches in diameter.

“The intent is to ensure that campfires are controlla-ble and do not pose a threat from either radiant heat or flying embers to surround-ing properties or other com-bustibles,” read a press re-lease from the city.

The SEFC is encouraging

anyone who has a campfire to make sure a hand tool, such as a shovel, is available or at least eight litres of water to extinguish the flames. Never leave a fire un-attended and make sure ashes are completely cool to the touch.

For the townsmanThe U-12 Keysa

Rover boys recently went to Moscow, Idaho, for a tournament, and won Gold with a score of 4 to 1. The nail biter was the semi-final game, as we had to go

into overtime to win and move on to the final. This is two years in a row we have won gold.

This tournament is a five-on-five soccer tour-nament. Such a fast pace game. Almost like a hockey game format

but with a soccer ball. There is no off side and you switch players on the fly. It has 2 x 15 min-ute halves with a five-minute break.

Udo Grady has had a busy summer. The Cranbrook athlete has accumulated quite the medal haul over the past couple months competing in vari-ous sports events at the provincial and national level. In June, Grady captured two gold medals for the hammer throw and the weight throw at the B.C. Masters Championship before moving on to the B.C. 55+ Games last week. There, Grady captured a slew of medals, including a silver for hammer throw, a gold for throwing pentathlon—which includes hammer throw, shot put, discus, javelin and weight throw—a silver for weight throw, a silver for shot put and a bronze for dis-cus. Finally, in Seattle this past weekend, Grady won gold in the throwing pentathlon and gold in the heavy weight throw while competing in the U.S. National Masters Championship.

The U-12 Keysa Rover boys recently won gold at a tournament in Moscow, Idaho.

KEYSA U-12 boys wrap up season with golddegrees. We had coolers of ice and cold rags and spray bottles so we could keep the boys cool and hydrated the best we could.

This was the last tour-nament of the year for us. The team finished with 2 gold medals, one from Lethbridge and one from Moscow, ID and

one silver medal from Invermere.

This team is coached by Wade Schlatter and Peter Hermann and managed by Shauna Beaulac. Shauna would like to thanks the parents and coaching staff for a wonderful year and real-ly looks forward to next season.

For the townsmanThe Ktunaxa Nation and the Métis Nation

British Columbia have signed a Health Protocol Agreement that calls for increased planning and access to health services for Métis and all Ab-original people residing in Ktunaxa territory.

“We are proud to sign this document with the Métis today,” said Debbie Whitehead, Ktu-naxa Nation Council Social Sector Director. “This agreement will ensure that any and all health services, from the planning stage to the provisioning stage, will include input from Métis and all Aboriginal people in Ktunaxa ter-ritory.”

“I believe that by making our planning pro-cesses as inclusive as possible, this inclusive-ness will be reflected through better health out-comes for Métis, Ktunaxa and all Aboriginal people,” continued Whitehead.

The Health Protocol Agreement was signed by Debbie Whitehead, Ktunaxa Nation Council Social Sector Chair Codie Morigeau, Métis Na-tion British Columbia Regional Director for the Kootenays Marilynn Taylor and Métis Nation British Columbia Minister responsible for Health, Vice-President Annette Maurice at a ceremony at the Ktunaxa Nation Government Building on August 31.

“It’s old stuff, new stuff, softer rock — it’s kind of a niche that’s missing in the market right now,” she said.

You can listen to the station right now at 107.5 in Cranbrook, 107.7 in Invermere, 107.9 in Fern-ie and 107.1 in Sparwood.

Crews have also finished putting in all the equipment and transmitters on the mountain-tops.

“They’re all installed now and we’re just test-ing and should be good to go in a couple weeks,” she said.

Hamm said bringing a new radio station into a region is a complicated endeavour.

“It’s been quite a process, there’s a lot of red tape with the radio stuff,” she said.

There are 10 people on staff starting this week, which will consist of both newsroom and on-air staff.

“We’ll have a live morning show, a midday show and an afternoon show,” she said, adding that they will be covering community events in the region.

Summit 107 is a division of Clear Sky Radio Inc, based out of Alberta. They have stations in Lethbridge and Medicine Hat.

While campfires are now al-lowed, there are other types of burning are still prohibited.

•The burning of any materi-al in a pile larger than a half-metre wide by a half-me-tre high, up to two metres wide by three metres high.

•The burning of stubble or grass in an area covering up to 0.2 hectares.

•Fireworks, sky lanterns and burning barrels.

•The use of binary explod-ing targets.

•The use of air curtain burners.

The SEFC prohibitions cover all B.C. Parks, Crown Lands and private lands, but do not apply within the bound-aries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced by a fire department.

In what shouldn’t be a sur-prise to anyone, the B.C. Wild-fire Service is also asking resi-dents to stay away from ac-tive-burning fires as hunting

season approaches.“The Southeast Fire Centre

is asking hunters to stay away from areas with active wild-fires,” read a statement from the organization. “Hunting season begins on Sept. 1 and hunting in the vicinity of a wildfire could put the safety of firefighters at risk.”

Within the SEFC, there are seven major fires burning, with the Cherry Lake blaze being the closest to Cranbrook.

Discovered a week ago, the fire has grown to 1,250 hect-

ares. It fire is currently 30 per

cent contained, with 53 fire-fighters, two helicopters and six pieces of heavy equipment working the scene.

The fire has seen 12-15 mm of precipitation over the last few days and the public access restriction for the Caven, Wickman, Larch, Bloom, Tee-pee and Teepee / Jim Creek Forest Service Road has be lift-ed. These roads are now open to the public.

tre vor Cr awleyFive grants have come

pouring in to the Cranbrook/Kimberley area from the pro-vincial government to help fund local events over the next year.

The grants, coming from EventHost BC, are part of a program designed to encour-age and support small-scale, volunteer-driven events that build community spirit, volun-teer capacity and promote out-of-town visitation.

In total, roughly $250,000 in

grants, with up to $5,000 being awarded per event have now been distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to eli-gible organizations. Almost $42,000 has been distributed to each of the six tourism re-gions: Cariboo-Chilco-tin-Coast, Northern B.C., Koo-tenay-Rockies, Thomp-son-Okanagan, Vancouver Is-land and Vancou-ver-Coast-Mountains.

Locally, grants were award-ed to:

•The Cranbrook and Dis-

trict Arts Council, which re-ceived $5,000 to host Cran-brook Welcomes Ethan Rus-sell, an internationally renown photographer, on Oct. 8, 2015.

• The Sam Steele Society was awarded $5,000 to go to-wards Sam Steele Days next June 2016.

The new school year in B.C. is the start of a three-year tran-sition to a new curriculum that Education Minister Mike Ber-nier says will emphasize “hands-on” learning.

A Ministry of Education re-lease says 100 teachers worked together for three years to cre-ate the flexible learning cur-riculum to help students un-derstand core subjects through projects related to their interests, such as music, hockey or dinosaurs.

The new curriculum is being phased in this year for Kindergarten to Grade 9, with higher grades still in develop-ment. Bernier said this year it will be up to local school dis-tricts and teachers to begin im-plementing it before it be-comes mandatory in 2015-16.

Bernier, the Peace River South MLA appointed educa-tion minister this summer, said

he’s heard from teachers who are looking forward to a curric-ulum that allows more flexibili-ty and individual learning. He stressed that basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic will remain, but students will also be taught life skills, com-munication, collaboration and critical thinking.

Two areas of emphasis for the new curriculum are envi-ronmental education and an aboriginal perspective, which Bernier said will be present in “every single component in the curriculum.” Local schools are encouraged to work with ab-original communities across the province to represent the full diversity of aboriginal ex-perience, he said.

Hands-on learning is al-ready in place in schools, and Bernier used the example of a shop teacher in his home town of Dawson Creek who encour-aged students at risk of drop-ping out to take his course.

They learned mathematics and physics through taking motors apart and reassembling them, he said.

Bernier invited parents to look for themselves at grade-by-grade documents posted at curriculum.gov.bc.ca, listing

learning standards and areas of emphasis.

In the science curriculum, for example, students are to be taught “big ideas” that in grade one include “observable pat-terns and cycles occur in the local sky and landscape.”

By Grade 8, they are to learn at “Earth and its climate have changed over geological time.”

Science competencies re-quired by grade seven include the ability to “exercise a healthy, informed skepticism and use scientific knowledge and findings for their own in-vestigations to evaluate claims in secondary sources” such as media reports.

By that time they should be able to identify possible sourc-es of error in their investiga-tions, understand qualitative and quantitative evidence and “demonstrate an an awareness of assumptions … and bias in their own work and secondary sources.”

JeNNY GReeNWhat does a semicolon tattoo,

the phrase “To Write Love on Her Arms” and cycling all have in common?

They are all social media movements dedicated to inspire and encourage discussion about mental illness, recovery and hope.

At first glance, it is unclear how these three things connect to mental illness. The fact is, not many of us will take the time to understand these social media movements until we know why they matter.

In any given year, one in five people in Canada will experi-ence a mental health problem or illness, with a cost to the econo-my in excess of $50 billion. Only one in three people who experi-ence a mental health problem will seek out and receive treat-ment. Of the approximately 4,000 Canadians who die every year as

a result of suicide, many were confronting a mental health problem or illness.

I urge you to take a moment to read some of the personal sto-ries being shared in connection with these movements. The sto-ries of struggle, recovery and hope are uniting voices that often go unheard; messages like there’s no health without mental health and you are not alone res-onate powerfully.

Leveraging the conversation about reducing the stigma of mental illness can be simple yet inspiring.

Project Semi-Colon uses a simple semicolon symbol to carry a powerful message – their website says that a semicolon is used when an author could’ve chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life.

September 10 is World Sui-cide Prevention Day, an annual

event to reduce stigma and pro-mote dialogue.

This year’s theme is Prevent-ing Suicide: Reaching Out and Saving Lives. It serves as a call to action to both individuals and organizations.

We all have a role to play in preventing suicide by offering support; we can make a differ-ence and help save lives.

If you or someone you care about is in crisis, help is avail-able, call 1-888-353-2273 (1-888-353-CARE) or visit the following websites for information: www.crisiscentre.bc.ca and youthin-bc.com.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2015

“T here’s no more rule of law,” said Mahathir Mohamad, the 90-year-old grandee who was

prime minister of Malaysia for 22 years. “The only way for the people to get back to the old system is for them to remove this prime minister.”

Mahathir has been openly criticising the current prime minister, Najib Razak, for the past year although they both belong to the same political party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO). What made it special this time was that he said it at a two-day mass demonstra-tion in the centre of Kuala Lumpur.

Mass demonstrations are normally at-tacked and dispersed by the police in Ma-laysia despite its formally democratic sys-tem, but this time the police remained peaceful. There were the usual disputes about how many people were there, with the organisers claiming 300,000 and the police saying 20,000, but the important thing was that Mahathir showed up and gave it his support.

There’s certainly good reason to de-mand Najib Razak’s resignation as prime minister. In July the Wall Street Journal published a report that $700 million had been transferred into his personal bank accounts in 2013 by the deeply indebted 1MDB state investment fund, which he created in 2009 shortly after becoming prime minister. He remains chairman of the fund’s board of advisers even today.

At first Najib just denied it all. He fired his deputy prime minister, Muhyiddin Yas-sin, for criticising his handing of the affair, and also the attorney general, Abdul Gani Patail, who was leading the the investiga-

tion into the scandal. Then, when it be-came impossible to deny that the money had appeared in his accounts, his advisers began claiming that it had come not from 1MDB but as a “political donation” from unnamed Middle Eastern sources.

Whether it was really looted from the 1MDB investment fund or just given to Najib by a “wealthy Arab family”, its pur-

pose was clear. It was not to enrich Najib personally. It was to swing the outcome of the 2013 election, which Najib’s party was in danger of losing.

In a normal democracy, accepting the better part of a billion dollars from foreign-

ers to win an election would be just as serious a crime as stealing it from a nation-al investment fund, but Malaysia is not a normal democracy. It has been effectively a single-party state since independence in 1957, because the great majority of ethnic Malays vote for UMNO and its allies in order to retain their special privileges in the country.

Malays, who are almost all Muslims, were the original population in most of the country and still account for 60 percent of its people. However, large-scale immigra-tion by Chinese and Indians in the 19th century shifted the balance: Chinese Ma-laysians now account for about a quarter of the population, and people of Indian de-scent for around one-tenth.

Moreover, it is the Chinese who domi-nate the country economically, a fact that led to the bloody race riots of 1969. Since then, Malays have enjoyed cheaper hous-ing, priority in government jobs and busi-ness licenses, and in practice (though no longer in theory) better access to universi-ty courses, in order to help them catch up

economically with the Chinese and Indian populations.

The policy has had some success: aver-age household incomes have converged, with Malay families going from about 40 percent of Chinese family earnings in 1970 to around 70 percent in 2009. Most Malays nevertheless feel this institutionalised fa-vouritism is still necessary, and vote UMNO to protect it – while a majority of Chinese and Indian Malaysians undoubt-edly feel that half a century of extra privi-leges for Malays is enough.

That’s why the great majority of protest-ers at last weekend’s demonstration in Kuala Lumpur were ethnically Chinese or Indian. Najib’s financial misdeeds provid-ed a justification for the protest, and even many Malays want to see the back of Najib, but the Malays stayed away because they detect a deeper agenda in the protest movement.

“What is 20,000 (demonstrators)? We can gather hundreds of thousands,” said Najib after the demonstration. “The rest of the Malaysian population is with the gov-ernment.” Or at least most Malays are, es-pecially in rural areas, and that’s probably enough for him to ride out this crisis unless Malaysia’s economic situation worsens.

The Malaysian economy has slowed down dramatically since Chinese demand for imports and the price of oil both began to collapse. Malaysia’s currency, the ring-git, is in free-fall. If it gets bad enough, Najib will have to go.

Whatever the injustices involved, it’s probably better for everybody that the eth-nic can of worms stays firmly closed for a while yet, so UMNO should be thinking hard about a successor who will be accept-able to everybody.

From foes to friendsRiver Beattie and Mario Grman haven’t always been on good terms, but this season that’s changed

Taylor rocca PhoTo

Defenceman Mario Grman skates with the puck during scrimmage action Tuesday evening at Western Financial Place. Kootenay Ice training camp carries on Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Oh how quickly foes can become friends.

Okay, so maybe ‘friends’ is a strong word at this point, but River Beattie and Mario Grman are working on it as the Kootenay Ice progress through train-ing camp this week.

Despite their past differences on the ice, one thing is certain -- Beattie and Grman are more similar than you might imagine.

But first, let’s flip the calendar back to March 6, 2015.

Beattie, a 17-year-old rookie forward with the Kootenay Ice skates across the red line at Western Financial Place and catches Jeff de Wit -- an unsuspecting Red Deer Rebels forward -- with his head down.

Maybe Beattie gets his elbow up, maybe he catches de Wit on the chin. But we aren’t here to debate the check.

From out of no-where, a 17-year-old rookie Slovakian by the name of Mario Grman confronts Beattie and as quickly as de Wit hit the floor, the gloves were off as the two WHL fresh-men scrapped it out.

Grman’s recounting of the tilt is simple and straight to the point.

“I ask him about fight and he went,” Grman said with a chuckle.

Beattie offered up a little more.

“We had a little scrap last year and it was good for us,” Beattie said with a grin Tuesday after-noon. “Good on him for stepping up for his teammate.

“Him and I have got-ten along quite a bit in camp so far. It’s good.”

Skip ahead to the CHL Import Draft.

After being released

by the Rebels, Grman is selected by the Ice with the 95th overall pick in the second round of the annual international stock up.

Suddenly, Beattie and Grman are on a crash course once again -- but this time for a completely different reason.

Now flip your calen-dar back to September 2015.

Tuesday is the sec-ond day of Kootenay Ice training camp and as veterans players are mixed in with the pros-pects, Beattie and Grman find themselves donning the same white sweaters ahead of scrimmages.

“I love having guys on my team that will be there for me if some-thing happens,” Beattie said, referring to Grman. “I’ll do the same for them.”

Perhaps it was by de-sign, perhaps it was pure coincidence that both landed on Team White. Either way, Beattie and Grman have settled their differences and are look-ing forward to skating together, both with Team White throughout train-ing camp and with the Kootenay Ice, assuming both stick around Cran-brook full-time.

“I talk with him about this,” Grman said of the fight with Beattie. “But everything is okay now. We are teammates.”

While the two come from vastly different places nearly 8,000 kilo-metres apart -- Beattie a native of Sherwood Park, Alta., and Grman hailing from Topolcany, Slova-kia -- they both bring a remarkably similar ap-proach to the game.

Beattie turns 18 on Halloween, and head-ing into his second WHL

campaign in Cranbrook, he’s looking forward to the opportunity to take on a bigger role.

“Coming in as a vet, you kind of know what to expect,” Beattie said. “You’re expected to per-form and show the rook-ies what needs to be done and where we’re going to go this season.

“We’re definitely going to have to achieve through committee. Ev-eryone needs to perform and everyone’s got to be there. I hope I can help lead with some points and be a big, physical presence out there.”

Beattie registered nine points alongside 41 penalty minutes in his first WHL campaign.

Grman turned 18 back in April after skat-ing in 35 games with the Rebels. After being in and out of the lineup in Red Deer, the 6-foot-1, 187-pound defenceman

is also ready to take on a bigger role this season.

“I got some experi-ence from older guys, [NHL] drafted players [in Red Deer],” Grman said. “[Rebels coach] Brent Sutter is a very good person and very good coach.

“I want to play more than last year. This is my biggest challenge. And be helpful for team. That’s it.”

The gritty Grman has yet to score a WHL goal, but registered three as-sists in his first season in North America. He put up 43 penalty minutes and prioritizes the rougher side of hockey.

“I like physical game, I like big hits and hard play,” Grman said.

Kootenay Ice training camp continues Wednesday morning at Western Financial Place, with scrimmages set for 9 a.m., 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Taylor rocc aWhile all the focus

was on those in atten-dance at Kootenay Ice training camp, a selec-tion of top prospects were nowhere to be seen on opening day at Western Financial Place.

Defenceman Griffin Mendel (1999), goalten-der Jakob Walter (1999) and forward Keenan Ta-phorn (2000), represent the top three selections from the previous two WHL Bantam Drafts for the Kootenay Ice. All three were noticeably missing from Monday’s festivities.

“At this point, I defi-nitely wish they were here playing against some of the best players because they are some of the best players out there,” said Garnet Ka-zuik, director of scout-ing for the Kootenay Ice. “Obviously we’re going to keep working on try-ing to get them all here at some point.

“They would defi-nitely be a big part of our organization moving for-ward. You just talked about three very young, important pieces. You put three people into your roster in their prime years and they become impact players.”

Mendel, a first-round pick (11th overall) at the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, committed to the Penticton Vees of the British Columbia Hock-ey League (BCHL) back in May. His absence comes as no surprise.

For Walter, the situa-tion appears much the same.

The 16-year-old Langley native was drafted next in line after Mendel in 2014 (second round, 33rd). Though he committed to the Campbell River Storm of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League and was expected to also attend training camp with the Nanaimo Clippers of the BCHL, Kazuik and the Ice be-lieved Walter was going to make an appearance in Cranbrook before set-tling in elsewhere.

“We were left to the understanding he was going to be here,” Kazuik said. “There was a little bit of miscommunica-

tion from the family to the player representa-tive to myself. All three of us were accountable for all of it.

“[Jakob] just wants to be where he’s going to be able to play. He knows he probably wasn’t going to be able to make this hockey team this year.

“He’s just trying to put his best forward and we’re okay with that. As long as he gets to play and he’s developing, that’s great.”

According to Kazuik, Walter has indicated “absolutely” that he wants to play in the WHL, which is an en-couraging sign for an organization that will be in need of goaltending depth once 20-year-old Wyatt Hoflin ages out following the 2015-16 campaign.

With Taphorn, the circumstance is more complicated.

The Yorkton, Sask., native was the top pick for the Ice at the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft, going in the second round, 34th overall.

Twin brother Kaeden was selected in the third round, 47th overall, by the Vancouver Giants.

While Keenan did not report to Ice camp in Cranbrook, it has also been reported that brother Kaeden did not report to Giants camp across the province.

According to Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, the Taphorn family wants to see the brothers togeth-er with the same organi-zation.

Until then, the twins are set to play Midget ‘AAA’ in Yorkton this coming season. What transpires from there re-mains to be seen.

Kootenay Ice train-ing camp carries on at Western Financial Place Wednesday with scrim-mages getting under-way at 9 a.m.

Avalanche volleyball returns with intrasquad gamesTaylor rocc a

Volleyball season is back at College of the Rockies as the men’s and women’s Av-alanche squads prepare for the 2015-16 PACWEST season.

Both clubs are set to offer fans a first-chance look at the two squads Wednesday afternoon with a pair of intrasquad games.

Free to the public, the women’s in-trasquad game is set for 4 p.m. with the

men’s contest to follow at 6 p.m.John Swanson spent the 2014-15 cam-

paign as an assistant coach for both the men’s and ladies’ outfits. In 2015, he takes over head-coaching duties for both teams.

“We have a great group of players com-ing back after finishing the best in [College of the Rockies] history,” Swanson said of the Lady Avs.

“We know other teams in the conference will not underestimate us this season.”

The Lady Avs have nine returning play-ers and four new recruits.

For the men, 10 new recruits are set to suit up, with only four returners from last season’s team.

“The four returning vets will be counted on to quickly assist our new recruits on the expectations of PACWEST,” Swanson said on the men’s team. “We have been fortu-nate however to be able to bring in a tre-mendous recruiting class.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your determination emerges. You’ll dive into an issue, profes-sionally or personally, that could have ramifications involved. An idea that has been hovering in your mind just might work. You’ll want to make sure every-thing goes as you would like it to. Tonight: Tell it like it is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You don’t have to agree with the group, but it would be wise to keep your thoughts to your-self at this point. Others come to you for creative brainstorming. At that point, you might be able to offer your suggestions. Tonight: You smile, and others come toward you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will attract more of what you want if you can look at a situation and decide how rea-sonable it is to continue on your present path. Make no decisions just yet. Given a few days, you will know exactly what to do. Open up to new possibilities. Tonight: Honor a fast change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You gain a different perspective when surrounded by others. However, some of you might decide to argue each point be-ing presented. If you feel your perspective is that important, then the differences between you and others are worth look-ing at. Tonight: Hang out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t get too set in your ways. Stubbornness does nothing to improve a difficult situation. In fact, power plays need to be avoided right now. Try not to get into the details of a disagree-ment, especially if you can stay out of the matter altogether. Tonight: Pace yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Lady Luck will be with you, as long as you don’t decide to do anything too far-out. Your smile will express confidence and could take you a long way. Brainstorm your way through a problem. Once you gain a better perspective, you’ll come up with a solution. Tonight: Out late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be on your way to

taking a grand leap into the unknown, but you might not even realize it. Note whether you are an emotional thinker. If you see that tendency, be more aware of your feelings, but opt for logic. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your imagination gives you the ability to move forward and make strong decisions. Others see the role your intuitive side plays in your life. Many of them would like to access that same side themselves. Help them do just that. Tonight: Defer to a loved one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Actions count. Do what you must, but also clear out er-rands and calls that you have been postponing. Tap into your resourcefulness once you com-plete these tasks. Spend time with a close friend, even if it is on the phone. Tonight: Make sure you are getting enough exercise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to a child or new friend. A quality about this per-

son makes you laugh and relax, and his or her presence in your life remains positive. As a result, you will gain a new perspective. Open up to a more spontaneous way of living. Tonight: Be more childlike. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Remain content, even if a situa-tion around your personal life is not going well or as you would like it to. You can’t have control over this matter, because one or more people are involved. No one has the right to con-trol someone else. Tonight: At home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Speak your mind, and remain sure of yourself. You could be challenged by others. You will want to respond to questions positively, as this will help you to re-examine your ideas. You’ll want to make sure your position is as strong as possible. Tonight: Hang with a friend. BORN TODAY Actress Cynthia Watros (1968), actor Keanu Reeves (1964), tennis player Jimmy Connors (1952)

Dear Annie: After 14 years of marriage, my husband, “Ron,” left me for another woman. Here’s how it happened: For several years, friends had dinner with us once a week. One day, they brought along “Fran,” a recently widowed woman they took under their wing. Ron initially told me he found her vulgar, overweight, unattractive and heavily tattooed. Fran talked nonstop about herself, bragging about her time in a biker club where she enjoyed “getting wasted on drugs and having random sex,” a lifestyle she wanted to get back into. Within weeks, Ron changed his tune about Fran. He decided she was “cool,” and he, too, wanted a life that included drugs and random sex. He and Fran began to text and call each other daily, often right in front of me. Ron began to find fault with everything I said or did, and criticized me to others. He even assaulted me physically and then stopped speaking to me for months. Finally, he left and moved in with Fran. Annie, I did everything for Ron. I helped support us with my full-time job while doing all the cooking and cleaning. Our sex life was great. I kept myself slim and attractive. Nearly a year after Ron left, he begged me for forgiveness, and I agreed to let him come home provided he got into anger management counseling. I also told him if he ever assaulted me verbally or physically again, I would terminate the marriage. With counseling, Ron became a different man, loving and supportive, and very apologetic. But to this day, he has been unable to tell me what he found so provocative about Fran, a woman he now says he abhors. Why would a man leave a loving relationship for one that is so destructive? If any of the men in your reading audience have done this, could they tell me why? And were they happy? -- Waiting for Answers Dear Waiting: We don’t believe Fran was the attraction. We think it was the promise of her lifestyle that he found fascinating, exciting and freeing. But it turned out to be something much less appealing in practice. We are glad Ron has become a better husband, and if our readers have more to say, we’ll be happy to print it. Dear Annie: What a kind gesture “Heartbroken Brother-in-Law” did by ordering vases of his wife’s ashes to be given to his wife’s sisters. It’s a shame they thought it was in poor taste and now the relationship is damaged. When my sister died a few years ago, we didn’t know this was an option. Her son took the urn back to his home state. He didn’t do this selfishly, of course, but all of us who loved her would have been so grateful to have had that remembrance. Please tell “Heartbroken” that he was indeed thoughtful and kind. -- Louisville, Ky Dear Louisville: Several readers suggested the sisters may have had religious reasons to reject the cremains, but we think a brother-in-law of 60 years would know whether this was the case. We hope their relationship has been repaired. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

ICBC warns Labour Day long weekend is one of the most dangerous on B.C. roads

Every year over the Labour Day long weekend, an aver-age of four people are killed and 560 injured in 1,900 crashes across the prov-ince.* Driver distractions, speed and impaired driving are the top contributing factors in Labour Day long weekend casualty crash-es.**

As many of us are planning one last summer road trip this long weekend, ICBC is urging drivers to be well prepared and leave plenty of time to get to your des-tination to avoid rushing and the temptation to drive aggressively.

In a recent ICBC survey, 25 per cent of respondents’ main safety concern on a

road trip was other drivers being aggressive, followed by traffic (18 per cent), road conditions (14 per cent), getting into a crash (10 per cent) and speeding drivers (8 per cent).

Tips:

Pre-trip check: Make sure any camping or outdoor equipment is securely tied

down to your vehicle before you take off. Check your engine oil, coolant levels and lights, and inspect your vehicle tires, including the spare, to make sure they’re in good condition and prop-erly inflated.

Pack an emergency kit. 70 per cent of those sur-veyed keep an emergency kit in their vehicle. Follow

their lead and pack yours with essentials such as food and water, a flashlight, first aid kit, booster cable and emergency signal cone.

Assign a designated tex-ter: If you need to keep in touch with family or friends during the drive, ask your passengers to make or re-ceive calls and texts for you. If you have to take a call, pull over when it’s safe to do so or use your phone in hands-free mode. If you know someone is behind the wheel, avoid texting, calling or answering to help keep them safe.

RVs: You’ll likely spot many recreational vehicles on the highways this weekend. If you’re driving in mountain-ous areas, you may find that many RV’s are driving below the speed limit because they may be underpowered and overloaded. Be patient with these drivers as they are like-ly going uphill as fast as they can. If you’re driving your RV this weekend, be courteous and pull over to let others by if you’re holding up traf-fic. This is much safer than a driver making an unsafe pass out of frustration.

Stay alert: 61 per cent of survey respondents said they feel tired at least sometimes when driving long distances. Get plenty of rest, stay hy-drated and take rest breaks every 1.5 to 2 hours to avoid driver fatigue. Fatigue slows your reaction time and even a slight decrease in reaction time can greatly increase your risk of crashing espe-cially when travelling at highway speeds.

Keep your distance: Al-low at least two seconds of following distance in good conditions, and at least three seconds on high-speed roads or if you’re behind a motor-cycle since it has a much shorter stopping distance.
