Water and Sewer Parcel

tax increase for 2015 cancelled

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

Kimberley City Council voted earlier this month to cancel the implementation of the Water and Sewer Parcel Tax in 2015.

Last spring, while preparing the 2015 Fi-nancial Plan, Mayor and Council of the day ap-proved a ten year, water, sewer infrastructure and fleet plan. The plan indicated a need to in-crease funding of water infrastructure by $369,491 and sewer in-frastructure by $118,890 in 2015 with a 3.5 per cent inflationary factor going forward. This would leave the City in a position to have the one third of funds required for federal/provincial infrastructure grants ready if a grant was re-ceived.

In order to begin to put away funds for water and sewer infrastruc-ture Council proposed a new parcel tax to begin in 2015. This included a parcel tax of $81.40 for

water and $26.19 for sewer.

Mayor Don McCor-mick said that present Council made the deci-sion to cancel the parcel tax after beginning the budget process.

“It is a flat tax and there is some pressure already to look at the existing flat tax.”

McCormick said that if you look at potential mill rate increases plus this parcel tax it adds up to about 10.5 per cent in tax increases.

“That’s too high and that’s not going to hap-pen,” he said.

Tax was to have begun an infrastructure reserve fund, which

will now be funded through phased in utility increases

“The reality is it took us 70 years to dig the hole we’re in and we’re not

going to dig out in a five years”Mayor Don McCormick

Yme Woensdregt… and waiting and

waiting and waiting. “Waiting for Godot” has often been described as “the play where nothing happens” — and justifi-ably so.

The two main char-acters, Vladimir and Es-tragon, dressed as tramps with bowler hats, wait on a bare stage with only a bare tree, a large, upended crate, and, at the edges, tall blank blocks which suggest faceless sky-scrapers.

The couple, who often refer to each other by the pet names of Didi and Gogo, are not sure if they’ve ever met Godot, or if they’re waiting in the right place, or even whether Godot will even show up.

While they wait, Gogo and Didi fill their time with mundane ac-tivities (like taking a

boot off) and trivial con-versation. After a while Lucky arrives, a man/servant/pet with a thick rope around his neck, the other end held by his master Pozzo. The four of them do together what Gogo and Didi were doing earlier—nothing. After a while, Pozzo and Lucky leave, and the original two characters can continue doing nothing by them-selves.

That roughly de-scribes what goes on in Act 1. Act 2 has the same structure of nothing-ness, with minor varia-tions. Each act ends with a young boy who comes to announce that Godot isn’t coming today but will be there tomorrow.

Samuel Beckett pub-lished his play in 1949. It was premiered in its original French lan-guage form in 1953 in a

small theatre in Paris; and Beckett’s English translation premiered two years later in Lon-don.

Many critics at the opening were baffled by it. “Gibberish! Uninspir-ing! A really remarkable piece of twaddle!” said one critic. Others hailed the play as a master-piece which would transform the theatre. Beckett takes “the very ordinary stuff of life, the undramatic, and turns it into drama.”

Today, it is recog-nized as a literary mas-terpiece. Irish literary critic Vivian Mercier de-scribed it as a “play in which nothing happens, that yet keeps audiences glued to their seats. What’s more, since the second act is a subtly different reprise of the first, he has written a play in which nothing happens, twice.” Beckett

won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1969.

Beckett was one of the primary authors in the movement which came to be called the “Theatre of the Absurd.” Following existentialist philosophers like Albert Camus, these authors claimed that human ex-istence is essentially meaningless and has no purpose, and that all communication simply breaks down. Humanity is left feeling hopeless and anxious.

The context in which this movement arose makes it understand-able: the atrocities of World War 2 and the de-veloping Cold War in which nuclear annihila-tion became an ever–present threat.

Local director and producer, the ever–am-bitious Paul Kershaw, said that “Good drama depends on good litera-ture, so I chose one of the best.” He chose five actors who have graced Cranbrook’s stages many times, and who brought this drama to vivid life.

Barry Borgstrom (Estragon) and Barry Coulter (Vladimir) offer a sympathetic and vi-brant interpretation. They have developed an extraordinary chem-istry between them, and feed off each other as the meaningless conversation progress-es. Listening to them interact with each other was akin to watching a skillfully played tennis game — which would come close to my defi-

nition of meaningless-ness! They come to-gether and move apart in a delicious choreog-raphy of words and movement.

Mark Casey is a suit-ably tamed Lucky, who comes out of his normal stupor and delivers a shines marvelously in the one brilliant solilo-quy he is given. Dave Prinn is a boisterous Pozzo, commanding the stage whenever he ap-pears, demanding our attention. Austin McAra, who plays the young lad who appears at the end of each act, holds his own with the rest of the talent onstage.

The play contains a very broad kind of hu-mour, filled with puns and clichés and non se-quiturs. What particu-larly interested me were the many references to Biblical and Christian themes. Although it

lacks a plot, and has no character development, it held my interest throughout the two hours. I recommend it highly.

Afterwards, I found myself wondering about these two characters. Where did they come from? Where are they going? Are they symbols of something deeper? Or are they just some of the traumatic detritus of life as we face possible extinction?

One final comment. I came to the play as someone who disagrees deeply with this absurd-ist philosophy. I believe that we are always en-gaged in activities which make meaning in our lives. The search for meaning is the big ques-tion for human beings in this era. Granted, that quest is not an easy one … but even Gogo and Didi give up on suicide

as a way out of their meaningless life.

Near the end of the play, Vladimir declaims, “Was I sleeping, while the others suffered? Am I sleeping now? Tomor-row, when I wake, or think I do, what shall I say of today? That with Estragon my friend, at this place, until the fall of night, I waited for Godot? That Pozzo passed, with his carrier, and that he spoke to us? Probably. But in all that what truth will there be?”

For me, the truth will be in that he and Es-tragon cared for each other. “Nothing is cer-tain,” says Estragon. Yet they stay together and find a touch of meaning in their relationship.

“Waiting for Godot” plays at the Key City Theatre Wednesday through Saturday, Jan. 21–24, at 7:30 pm.

Canadian Nordic Racers at Western Championships

For the Bulletin

During the month of January hundreds of ac-tivities and events are being run across the province by literacy or-ganizations, libraries and community centres to promote family litera-cy.

Literacy is important to ALL British Columbi-ans, especially families because literacy devel-opment of families im-pacts every area of our lives: health, employ-ment, economic status, and life chances. Studies show that parents and caregivers who partici-pate in family learning, directly and positively affect the language and literacy development of their children. Even 15 minutes of reading a day can improve both a child and parent’s litera-cy skills dramatically. When you invest in liter-acy, you invest in soci-ety: you help create jobs, improve health, reduce crime and build strong individuals, strong fami-lies and strong commu-

nities. Literacy is important

to all British Columbi-ans - especially chil-dren. When children get an early start in literacy at home, they are more likely to: - Be better pre-pared to enter school - Do better on reading achievement tests - Pur-sue higher education - Find higher-paying jobs - Lead healthier lives - Vote, volunteer and give back to their communi-ty

Parents who partici-pate in family literacy programs: - Learn to support their children’s learning needs

- Place greater value on education and learn-ing - Become interested in developing their own literacy skills

- Form social and supportive networks - Are exposed to opportu-nities to progress to fur-ther education and training

In Kimberley many events have been planned.

On Saturday January

24th 10:00 – Noon, The Friends of the Kimber-ley Public Library is hosting a free Family Literacy Fun event at the Kimberley Public Li-brary. There will be Books, Prizes, Celebrity Readers, Fun Work-shops, Computer & Wii Activities. Everyone in the community is invit-ed to participate and all will be entered for door prizes. The Grand Prize is drawn at Noon and refreshments and snacks will be provided.

Families with Chil-dren under 6 during the week of Jan. 26th -Jan. 30th (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri 9:00-Noon Wed 3:30 -6:30) are invited to join StrongStart at the Early Learning Center for fun filled activities to cele-brate Family Literacy day. There will be special gifts for friends with lots of great activities to con-tinue the story at home!

On Jan.27th The Daily Bulletin will be high-lighting submissions re-ceived from elementary students who participat-

ed in the writing contest to celebrate Family Liter-acy Day.

on Thurs. Jan. 29th at 10:30, Parents with Ba-bies are invited to cele-brate at the Kimberley Public Library with Baby Goose. The Library, CBAL- Kimberley and Public Health Nursing are hosting a morning of fun activities for parents and their babies.

There is also once again the “Battle of The Books” Contest at all the Elementary Schools. Look for outcomes

of the favourite book lists at the end of Janu-ary.

McKim Memories

Kids rock! We have some great kids here at McKim and some excel-lent activities.

McKim has an awe-some cross-country ski program. We’ve heard nothing but great com-ments from the grade 4 and 5 phys-ed students. We’re currently looking into purchasing some larger skis so that the older students can par-ticipate.

Intramurals are in full swing with each stu-dent assigned to a spe-cific colour. Congratula-tions to all students rep-resenting yellow, since they are currently in first place. This month, stu-dents have been playing basketball and next week is a bottle-soccer free gym. Sounds like fun.

Basketball is a big sport at Mckim just now. Not only are we playing it in intramurals but a number of teachers are teaching it in phys ed. Not to mention the boys and girls basketball teams starting next week. We talked to the coaches:

Mr. Stevens, who is a huge basketball fan be-lieves that basketball gets overshadowed by hockey, skiing and vol-leyball. He wants to bring more attention to this wonderful sport by coaching and showing kids how awesome bas-ketball can be.

Miss Turcon also thinks basketball is a

The week at McKim School

From page 1“The reality is it

took us 70 years to dig the hole we’re in and we’re not going to dig out in a five years. To put an inordinate bur-den on a single year just doesn’t make sense.”

At a preliminary budget meeting this week, Council and the Chief Financial Officer adjusted the financial plan’s capital budget to reflect the changes in funding availability.

CFO Holly Ronn-quist told Council that

when the parcel tax was approved last year, staff used caution in using those monies, knowing things could change.

“Out of the entire 2015 plan we just need to change a few things,” she said.

At that same meet-ing, Council agreed that rather than a par-cel tax, they would look at funding utilities with utilities.

“Our general think-ing is that utility rates themselves need to fund it. They’ve been

underfunded for years,” McCormick said. “If you look at comparisons with other communities our utility costs have al-ways been low. We’ve been getting along but not setting aside any reserves for future re-investment.”

McCormick says that increases to utility costs will be phased in over three years, work-ing out to an $84 per year increase, rather than the $107 parcel tax.

Water and Sewer Parcel tax increase for 2015 cancelled

Mayor Don McCormick

Owner of Farbrook among those concerned

about adjacent development

Arne Petryshen

Despite concerns expressed by two residents regarding the pro-posed rezoning of a property located in the city’s industrial area, council went ahead with the third reading and adoption of the bylaw amend-ment.

City staff recommended that council adopt the rezoning of the land located at 6th Street NW, which will enable consideration of subdivi-sion and residential development of the property. The property is located just up the hill from Farbrook Auto Wrecking.

Chris Taylor, the owner of Far-brook Auto Wrecking, was one of the residents that came forward. He said the wrecker has been there since 1961 and he purchased it 23 years ago.

“Where it is is pretty much where we have to have it because we can exist, but we can’t grow,” Taylor said. “There is no other piece of property in Cranbrook that allows auto wreck-ing or salvage. I can’t expand so I’m kind of limited to what I have.”

Taylor said they’ve had problems from other residents complaining about the noise and smell during crushing operations. He said they have strategically placed the crusher in certain areas to minimize any is-sues with neighbours.

“To put a development on the upper side of our property we would have to make some more arrange-ments,” he said. “But with the smell and the noise, because we are a re-cycler and we have to dispose of the unwanted waste… there might be a problem down the road with people not wanting us there.”

Coun. Tom Skypitka said that Taylor made some very rational points.

“I’d like to know a little more on exactly what his issues may be.

The other resident was Anne Beurskens, who lives on 5th Avenue South.

“There is clearly a need for low cost housing in Cranbrook, like the one on Baker Hill, situated in the centre of our town, however, this proposal places low-cost housing right at the perimeter of our town at a distance of four kilometres from the city centre, and a similar dis-tance from the box stores,” she said.

Beurskens also noted that the de-velopment is on a steep slope not far from the wrecker.

“Is this a logical location to build low-cost housing?” she asked.

Beurskens said that while devel-opers have the right to request re-zoning and subdivision of parcels

within city limits, it’s the responsibil-ity of council to minimize service and maintenance costs to the tax-payer.

Beurskens asked if all options for low cost housing have been re-searched.

“Perhaps there are better places for low-cost housing,” she said.

Coun. Norma Blissett noted that from what she heard, Beurskins is concerned about the taxpayer being accountable for costs the way it has happened in previous develop-ments.

“They don’t want that to happen again,” Blissett said. “We will have sufficient holdback to make sure that doesn’t happen?”

CAO Wayne Staudt said the city does require holdback to make sure that services are installed as part of the development.

“Sometimes things don’t work out the way you planned,” he said. “But generally most developers in the city have bore the cost of install-ing water and sewer lines, and we have not had any major problems.”

Staudt said the city planners will have discussions with the developer regarding the issues with the prox-imity to the wrecking yard when the actual development is presented.

Council passed the third reading unanimously.

Coun. Wesly Graham said he wanted to postpone the adoption because he wasn’t comfortable with it.

“I think it would give us more time to do a bit of research into some of the concerns raised,” Graham said, adding that in Creston there are complaints from new residents about the brewery despite it being there for many years before the new residents arrived.

Coun. Tom Shypitka agreed, say-ing he had not considered some of the things Taylor brought up when they passed the first two readings.

“He’s got a genuine concern that the coexistence between his busi-ness, which he’s been operating for many years can’t rationally exist with the rezoning for some residen-tial housing there,” Shypitka said. “To me it sounds valid.”

Mayor Lee Pratt said that pro-longing it was akin to spinning their wheels.

“I think we should carry on with it — approve it — and let the planning department deal with the developer, and Mr. Taylor as well, and answer some of his concerns and see where it goes,” Pratt said.

Graham and Shypitka voted against adopting the bylaw.

Staudt noted that the bylaw only rezones the property for develop-ment.

“There will be all kinds of oppor-tunity to address what the develop-ment looks like going forward, to address Mr. Taylor and his concerns, there will be opportunity for that,” Staudt said.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2015

A little bit of Latin always raises the tone of an article, so here (with thanks to the classical correspon-

dent of The Observer) is a sentence that may prove useful to Pope Francis: “agite tentaque si fortiores vos putatis.” It means “come on then, if you think you’re hard enough.”

It’s the manly thing to say if you have just punched somebody, and he looks like he’s thinking of hitting you back. Fran-cis has recently expressed the view that “if anyone says a curse word against my mother, he can expect a punch.” So he should be ready for some retaliation, and saying that in Latin might deter the victim from hitting the Supreme Pontiff back.

In real life, of course, the Swiss Guard would give the poor sucker a good kick-ing for attacking the Pope’s knuckles with his face, and then drag him off to jail. But Francis was not really talking about him-self. He was just saying that the satirists of “Charlie Hebdo” who were massacred in Paris last week had it coming.

“It’s normal,” Francis explained. “You cannot provoke, you cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.” He was defending the right of believers of any faith to be ex-empt from harsh criticism, caricature and indeed any comment that hurts their feelings — and also their right to use vio-lence against those who transgress.

I’m exaggerating, of course. Francis didn’t say that he would shoot the person who insulted his mother, or blow him up. Just punch him, that’s all. (I’m assuming it’s a “him”, since I’m sure the Pope would not punch a woman.) But does he think that violence is justified in defence of the honour of your mother, or your religion? Yes he does. Or if not actually justified, at

least quite understandable.At this point in the discussion, West-

ern journalists normally wander off into an extended debate in which some de-fend freedom of speech at any cost and others insist that you must refrain from mocking other people’s religious views, either because you shouldn’t hurt their

feelings or just because you’re afraid they’ll kill you.

It’s a great opportunity to pontificate about weighty philosophical ma-ters (even the Pontiff him-self could not resist it), but it has almost nothing to do

with the case at hand: the terrorist attacks in Paris and the various Western respons-es to them. Or do you really think that the attacks would stop if everybody promised to say only nice things about Islam?

It is unlikely that Said and Cherif Kouachi and Amedy Coulibaly were reg-ular readers of “Charlie Hebdo”. The tar-get was picked for them either directly by some operational controller in al-Qaeda, ISIS, or some other Islamist jihadi group — or, if they were acting independently, then indirectly by the editor of some Isla-mist website who was highlighting that magazine as particularly insulting to Islam.

The fanatics who run the extremist networks and websites NEED insults to Islam, threats to Islam, attacks on Islam in order to recruit and motivate the im-pressionable young men and women who will do the actual killing and dying for them. If “Charlie Hebdo” didn’t exist, they’d have found something else. It probably wouldn’t have been quite as crassly insulting as “Charlie”, but it would have served the same purpose.

As a popular slogan on the extremist websites has it, “media is half of jihad.” High-profile targets that will upset the

Western public are what they want, and nothing gets the Western media’s atten-tion like an attack on the media.

For most of a week, that one event in Paris — 17 people killed by three young fools with guns — virtually monopolised international news coverage in the Euro-pean and North American media. But what was so surprising about it? That you can get Kalashnikovs in Paris? That there are quite a few foolish, lost young Muslim men in Paris? That some of them will be seduced by Islamist propaganda?

This was a small skirmish in a long ... I was going to say a long “war”, but actually the strategic objective of France and all the other Western target nations should be to prevent it from turning into a real war. It’s the extremists who want a war in which the West “attacks Islam”, because that is the best and probably the only route that might bring them to power in the Muslim world.

Unfortunately, Western media cannot resist turning stories like the Paris killings into a media circus. To make matters worse, Western leaders cannot resist the temptation to do little pantomimes of defiance for the cameras. “We’re not on our knees. We’re standing tall. In fact, look: we’re bravely walking down the streets together.” As if the terrorists want-ed them on their knees.

And so you get the ridiculous demon-stration of “solidarity” among forty world leaders that led the march in Paris. At least Barack Obama had the good sense to dodge that event, although he was sharply criticised for it by all the useful idiots at home who think a war with Islam is just what the West needs.

Come to think of it, Pope Francis didn’t go to Paris either. Maybe there’s hope for him yet.

Zborosky zingerForward leads Ice to critical victory over Giants

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Kootenay Ice forward Zak Zborosky took no-tice when he was ranked 97th amongst North American skaters on the NHL Central Scouting Service’s midseason draft list Tuesday.

“I’m not necessarily watching [those lists] but I did look at it,” Zbo-rosky said. “I looked at it once and thought it was pretty cool. You obvi-ously want to keep mov-ing up [the list]. They are watching you, so you’ve got to keep playing hard.

“Consistency on my part, a little bit more of a grittier game and being a guy who can be able to play in all situations -- more of a complete play-er,” Zborosky said of what he is focusing on to gain attention of scouts and hopefully earn a higher ranking by the time the Central Scout-ing Service releases its final rankings in April.

With the Vancouver Giants in town Tuesday night, Zborosky used the opportunity to show scouts why they might want to consider moving him up that list, scoring the game-winning goal in a 4-3 victory.

“It just turned into a three-on-two and Sam [Reinhart] was in the middle,” Zborosky said,

recounting his winning marker. “He passed it to me and I had a lot of time. I saw the open spot, shot it and it went in.”

The 18-year-old na-tive of Regina makes it sound easy and he made it look even easier, unleashing a laser of a wrist shot that found the top corner past the blocker of Giants start-ing goaltender Payton Lee. The goal came 7:29 into the third period, giving the Ice a 4-2 lead.

Giants captain Dal-ton Sward banged home a rebound with 5.8 sec-onds remaining in regu-lation to make it a one-goal game, but that was all the Giants mustered as Zborosky’s goal stood as the winner.

River Beattie tallied his second goal in as many games to put the hosts ahead 3-1 in the second period, cashing in on a Giants turnover by sliding a backhand shot through Lee.

“It was good offensive pressure by our forwards and [the Giants] turned it over,” Beattie said after the win. “The d-man coughed it up to me and I was lucky enough to get the puck on net and it was able to squeak by the goaltender.

“[Scoring gives] con-fidence, for sure. It’s

been a couple lucky bounces as well, but confidence is coming.”

Tyler King opened the scoring in the first period to give the Ice a 1-0 advantage before Giants forward Tyler Benson scored 15 sec-onds into the second period to tie things up.

Luke Philp restored the lead with a break-away marker five min-utes later before Beattie found the mesh.

Giants defenceman Mason Geertsen un-leashed a howitzer from the point on the power play to make it a 3-2 game 3:08 into the third period.

Ice goaltender Wyatt Hoflin steered aside 39 of the 42 shots sent his way Tuesday night. Pay-ton Lee, a product of the Cranbrook Minor Hock-ey Association, stopped 24 of 28 at the other end for the Giants.

Prior to puck drop against the Giants, Koo-tenay Ice general man-ager presented Reinhart and defenceman Rinat Valiev with commemo-rative prints in honour of their performances at the 2015 IIHF World Ju-nior Championship.

Reinhart, represent-ing Canada, tallied 11 points in helping his country reclaim junior gold. Valiev represented

Russia, bringing home silver.

The 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship marks the first time in franchise history the Kootenay Ice have been represented by both gold-medal and sil-ver-medal winning players at the same tournament.

The victory over the Giants comes at a critical time for the Ice, who lost 3-2 in Saskatoon Satur-day night. The two points pulls the Ice (23-22-0-1, 47 points) within three points of the Edmonton Oil Kings (22-18-4-2, 50) for fourth place in the WHL’s Central Division.

The loss keeps the Giants (19-24-1-1, 40)

two points back of the third-place Prince George Cougars (20-25-1-1, 42) in the WHL’s B.C. Division.

“Any time you play an out-of-conference team, those [games] are just as important,” Reinhart said. “To get two points on your side of things -- every game is important, especially at this stage.”

Next, the Ice travel to Edmonton to face the Oil Kings in an early-riser Thursday as the two teams face-off at 11:30 a.m. at Rexall Place.

The Lady Avalanche continued to push back in PACWEST volleyball action this past week-end, earning back-to-back straight-sets sweeps over the Doug-las College Royals at College of the Rockies.

“Their offense didn’t quite click all the time and our offense -- every-thing that we ran was successful,” said Lady Avs coach Andrew Zur-rin Tuesday. “Our setter, Kendra [Hainsworth], runs a great offense. She distributes the ball and we run a lot of motion. Half the time, I don’t know who she’s going to set because she just keeps picking different people, which keeps [op-

ponents] blocking out of balance.”

The wins pushed the Lady Avs (6-8, 12 points) to within striking dis-tance of the fourth-place Vancouver Island Uni-versity Mariners (8-6, 16) in PACWEST play.

Now, Zurrin and his squad prepare for the Capilano Blues (13-1, 26) who rank first in the PACWEST, and third on the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association charts. The last time the Lady Avs faced the Blues Nov. 29 and 30, Capila-no cruised to consecu-tive straight-sets victo-ries on home court.

“This time we’re going to be ready for them,” Zurrin said. “The last time we played them, our rookies still

were dealing with the pressure of the game and this past weekend they just looked so much calmer.

“Being more calm on the court is transferring to everybody. We get less mistakes and we’re able to push through on the big points.”

On the men’s side, the Avs fell to the Royals 3-1 (21-25, 9-25, 25-21, 26-28) Friday before suf-fering a straight-sets sweep (17-25, 17-25, 21-25) Saturday.

Only the Capilano Blues (2-12) sit below the Avs in the standings.

Action gets underway Friday, with the Lady Avs at 6 p.m., followed by the men at 8 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could feel focused, but you quickly will discover how off communication seems to be. Be careful, as a misunderstanding is likely to take place. Stay on track, and understand that oth-ers simply might not be getting the message. Tonight: Where the action is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might feel as if you are do-ing the right thing by assuming the lead. However, you quickly could find out otherwise. Try to avoid getting stuck in the posi-tion of feeling as if you are the only one who is right. Let others have a say. Tonight: Paint the town red. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Do your best to stay centered. How you deal with others could change if you would just relax. You will see that there is a difference between what your words mean to you and how they are interpreted by others. Try to bridge this gap. Tonight: Near good music.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) A partner could be touchy right now. Your words might ruffle this person’s feathers if you are not careful. Discuss what you need to do in order to advance a key project. Be willing to reiter-ate the same statement several times, if need be. Tonight: A talk could be lengthy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your tone and expression will define how your words are taken. Being authentic will be the key to effectively conveying your message. A friend might redefine what he or she thinks your friendship is about. You might need to clarify. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Clearly, you could be out of sync with your ruler, Mercury, going retrograde today. A question seems to surround a matter in-volving your day-to-day life, so try to be clear about what your expectations are. Trust your instincts. Tonight: Swap ideas with a good friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be upset to discover

that something you had consid-ered to be a given is no longer so. A discussion is inevitable. Be direct in your dealings with a child or new friend. Coy games will fall apart, as they won’t be tolerated. Tonight: Make the most out of the evening. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay centered when dealing with others, especially family members. You simply might not be on the same page as some-one else. Do your best to clarify and explain exactly what you are thinking. Know that misun-derstandings run rampant to-day. Tonight: Happy to be home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be somewhat aggra-vated with a close neighbor, friend or family member. This person has the ability to turn your life upside down. Try to look at the situation from his or her point of view. Walk in someone else’s shoes for once. Tonight: Treat a pal to munchies. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Deal with a financial matter immediately. Know what you want, and have your best inter-

ests in mind. Do not undermine yourself by letting a comment get the best of you. Misunder-standings just seem to happen. Tonight: Be receptive to some-one else’s request. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are full of confidence, and you know what you need to do. Opportunities seem to come from a partner or someone close to you. Use caution when dealing with risks and children. Allow your creativity to color plans. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Know when to pull back and say little. Misunderstandings could start appearing around a domestic matter and/or partnership. Be willing to ex-plain yourself more than once, and try using different words; clearly someone is not hearing you. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep. BORN TODAY Golfer Jack Nicklaus (1940), Confederate commander Thom-as “Stonewall” Jackson (1824), actress Geena Davis (1956)

Dear Annie: A year ago, I bought a house for my niece Alice, her boyfriend and their two daughters, so they could have a better life and become homeowners. The house is still in my name, and our agreement was that Alice could live there for five years so she could build up her credit and save enough for a down payment on a home of her own. The problem is Alice’s sister, “Tonya,” who is fond of partying. Alice allowed Tonya to hold parties for underage kids, with alco-hol, in the house. Tonya is now in college but still comes home on vacations and ex-pects to host parties for her friends, includ-ing high school kids. I found out that Tonya gets so drunk at these parties that she has thrown up in the kitchen sink. I am livid and hurt that Alice would allow her children to witness such irresponsi-ble behavior. Alice’s mother, my sister, also permits this. I told Alice’s boyfriend that I would sell the house if Tonya has another party there. I am afraid to talk to Alice, To-nya or my sister because I’m sure to let slip what I really think of this and then it will cause major family issues. Why can’t my sister see the liabilities for everyone involved? -- Disappointed Uncle Dear Uncle: Your sister chooses to ignore this behavior because she doesn’t want to alienate her daughters and prefers to abdi-cate her parental responsibilities. You have been inordinately kind to your niece, and it seems unappreciated. But do not approach this in anger. Simply inform Alice that you, as the homeowner, will be held liable for any illegal activities taking place there, in-cluding serving alcohol to underage kids. Say that, regretfully, should you discover she has allowed Tonya to hold another such party, you will be forced to sell the house, as you are unable to afford the potential legal costs. Then do it. Dear Annie: I have two grown daughters who have not spoken to me since their mother and I divorced 12 years ago when they were teenagers. I assume they were pressured not to have anything to do with me. Over the years, I have sent them cards, let-ters and gifts, but they have never acknowl-edged them. I always hoped that when they were grown and less influenced by their mother, we might be able to reestablish some kind of a relationship. My oldest daughter recently became en-gaged, and I sent her a gift. I received a let-ter in return, telling me that I am not invited to the wedding, and asking whether I want my gift back. I never expected to be invited to her wedding, and frankly, was thrilled that she even acknowledged the gift. I don’t want it back. After all these years, I have started to lose hope that things will ever improve. So my question is, should I continue to send cards or gifts to my daughters? I don’t want to be a nuisance. I used to cry when I would think of them, and the sad thing is now I don’t. -- Estranged Dad Dear Dad: You don’t have to send gifts, but please continue to send cards. Your daugh-ters need the reassurance that you still care about them. And you never know; they may someday decide to reconcile. Please leave the door open. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Florida Lady,” who suggested giving all types of gift cards. I get a lot of gift cards from people on special occasions, which is nice. I also purchase and give gift cards to others. I had no problem until this year, when I had purchased gift cards to a very popular restaurant. Without notice, the restaurant closed its doors and we were stuck with the gift cards. I’ve decided that cash is a better alterna-tive. It’s the right color, right size, has no expiration date and is accepted everywhere. -- Eileen Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Pearl (Becher)SumnerJuly 23, 1928 - December 27, 2014In loving memory weannounce the passing ofPearl Sumner at St JohnHospice, UBC. Pearl wasrelocated to Vancouver in June to better meet the challenges of cancer which she faced with the remark-able courage, grace and optimism that characterized her life. Born in Kindersley Saskatchewan as the eldest of 6 she is pre-deceased by brother Jim Hayden, sister Sylvia Hayden, and survived by sisters Shirley White, Marlene Clarke, and Ellen Cashen. Pearl was prede-ceased by her first husband of 46 years, Kurt Becher and will be dearly missed by her husband of 21 years, Walter Sumner of Salmon Arm, and her two step daughters Elaine Shigatomi and Emily Nelson, three step grandchildren and 3 great step grandchildren. She was very proud of her 17 beloved grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren by her nine adoring children: Alice Thorner, Tom Becher, Lynda Kazanowski, Randy Becher, Robert Becher, Mary Ann Becher, Nancy The-issen, Harley Becher, and Shannon Ekkel. Pearl’s warm smile and twinkling eyes will be fondly remembered by her extended family and many friends throughout the Columbia and Okanagan Valleys where she resid-ed over the last 70 years. While a dedicated mother devoted to the tumult of her large family, she touched many throughout British Columbia with her serene and caring heart, her enthusiasm and love for the beauty in life, and her relentless spirit to make the best of it. She was a classy lady. Condolences may be sent to: [email protected]. A Celebration of Life will be scheduled for a later date.

Margaret “Maggie” Francis Dorris

1930 - 2015

Maggie was born in Cranbrook, BC on June 13, 1930 at the St. Eugene Hospital, the first of three children to Eleanor and Frank Bridges, long time Cranbrook residents. She attended Cranbrook Central School and after graduating from the Cranbrook High

School, she attended Sprott Shaw Community College in Vancouver BC, returning thereafter to work at the National Fruit Company and the Provincial Health Unit in Cranbrook. In 1950, she joined 2 of her friends to travel to Montreal, QC where she worked with Budge Carbon Paper Manufacturing Company. The small town called and she returned to settle in Cranbrook and work for the Provincial Social Welfare Department. In 1953 she married Gerald Dorris, the father of her three children. The Dorris’ lived in New Westminster, Lethbridge, AB, Spokane, WA, and Scottsdale, AZ, as well as the place she always loved, Cranbrook, for many years. In 1979, Maggie returned to Arizona where she lived till her retirement in 1992. During that time she worked with Varian Electronics Inc., and Intergroup Healthcare of Arizona. After retiring she maintained her home and a rental business in Scottsdale as well as her heavenly place at Moyie Lake where she spent several months every year. Maggie said her roots were at Moyie Lake, having spent many summers on the lake at Green Bay where her uncle Harold Bridges, who was founder of the Green Bay Resort with her grandfather, JF Bridges. Her place at Moyie, which she shared with her son David, remained a ‘work in progress’ and she often said, she was doing exactly what she had always wanted to do with her life. In 2006, Cranbrook called again and she moved back where she settled happily till her passing on Thursday, January 15th, 2015.

Maggie was predeceased by her parents, her beloved son Michael Dorris in 2008, her nephews Allan & Ronald Bridges, and her companion Dennis Scott in 1999.

She is survived by her son David Dorris (Rhonda) and their 3 sons, Jordy (Amy), Parker and Aaron; and her daughter Nancy Lemire (Monty) and her 2 daughters, Melissa (Nedi) and Amy (Ira) and three great-grandchildren; Fynn, Nash & Micah. She is also survived by her brother Harvey Bridges (Jean) and their family; and her sister Lois Maguire (Ernie) and their family.

Maggie was very close with her brother and sister who were exceptionally kind to her. Maggie likened her many friends to jewels and she cherished them that way. She lived life in a very positive way. She was a lifetime hockey contributor (member of the founding executive board of the Cranbrook Colts Junior Hockey League), she liked to laugh, to play bridge (especially duplicate bridge), and wasn’t afraid of hard work - that is the legacy she received from her mother Eleanor and the one she leaves to the wonderful young people in her surviving family.

A memorial service for Maggie will be held at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook on Friday, January 23, 2015 at 1:00 pm.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.Condolence for the family can be offered at:
