C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

Premier Christy Clark made a whirlwind tour of the East Kootenay late last week, visiting Fernie, Cran-brook on Thursday and Kimberley on Friday.

Clark was met by teach-ers with picket signs in Cranbrook on Thursday, but when asked about the ongoing labour dispute with teachers, she said em-phatically that there will be no back to work legislation this time.

“I don’t foresee back to work legislation,” she told the Bulletin. “We’ve had 20 years of dysfunction. It’s time we reached an agree-ment through bargaining. Our negotiators are waiting every day. We are not tak-ing the summer off. There is $1.2 billion on the table and we’re flexible about how we spend it. A billion two is a lot of money.”

Travelling with the Pre-mier, Minister of Energy and Mines and Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett added that the B.C. Teach-ers’ Federation needed to understand that was all the money available and come to the table with a wage demand in line with what other public sector unions have settled on.

During the roundtable, there was a wide-ranging discussion on all sorts of issues affecting small busi-ness.

One issue that came under discussion was the recent announcement that temporary foreign workers are no longer eligible for employment in the Koote-nays as the cap is an unem-ployment rate of six per

cent. The rate in the Koo-tenays is 7.2.

Representatives of the ski resort business in at-tendance said that prov-ince-wide, 500 positions are filled by temporary workers.

“I have 30 positions at Panorama that I can’t fill,” said one.

Clark said B.C. was “the victim of the federal government right now.”

She said Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training will be meeting with federal Minister Jason Kenney on this.

“Shirley Bond may be the only person Jason Kenney is scared of,” Clark said.

A provincewide heat wave in British Colum-bia was expected to hit record highs in the com-

ing days, heightening concerns about wild-fires.

The B.C. Wildfire Management Branch said Saturday there were

45 wildfires across the province, with three fires expected to take days to put out.

“The hot, dry weath-er has definitely been a

concern,’’ said Navi Saini, a spokeswoman for the agency. “It’s defi-nitely hindering fire-suppression efforts.’’

In northern B.C.,

near the Alberta border, 120 firefighters and 11 helicopters are battling a 45-square-kilometre blaze close to Tumbler Ridge that was sparked last Sunday.

Saini said there have been no casualties, but an evacuation order has been issued to 200 peo-ple in three nearby oil and gas camps.

Forty-one firefighters and six helicopters are trying to put out a four-square-kilometre fire near Quesnel, in the North Cariboo region which started Tuesday.

Twenty firefighters are battling a 10-square-kilometre blaze in north B.C. near Williston Lake that start-ed Thursday.

Saini said fires out-side the province could spark smoke warnings for B.C.

“We have several large fires burning in the Northwest Territories, and just the way the wind’s been blowing, there have been smoke reports in many areas of

In the Cranbrook and Kimberley area, the forecast for the week shows temperatures hitting a high of 34 degrees Wednesday.

Rainy periods are forecast for Thursday, July 17, and for Friday, July 18. Weekend temperatures are forecast to be in the mid-20s, according to both the Weather Network and Environment Canada.

Normal temperatures for July 13 are a high of 27 degrees and a low of nine degrees. Sunday, July 13, 2014, saw temperatures of 34 degrees and 12 degrees at night.

The record high for Sunday, July 13, was 36 degrees, set in 2002. The record low was 4 de-grees, set in 1993.

the province,’’ she said.Smoke from a fire

burning in Banff Na-tional Park, in Alberta is drifting into the Koote-nays, she said.

Environment Cana-da said temperatures are expected to hit re-cord highs in parts of the province this week-end.

David Wray, a mete-orologist with the agen-cy, said temperatures in the southern half of the province appear to be 10 to 11 C above normal for the time of year.

Wray said it is 8 to 10 C above normal for the northern half of B.C. where temperatures will likely break records next week.

Temperatures are av-eraging at 30 C or more provincewide.

Wray said it is im-portant to wear sun-screen this weekend be-cause it will only take about 15 minutes for skin to get burned.

He said children or pets should not be left in cars, and people should drink plenty of water.

Kimberley kids had an opportunity to take part in a week-long soccer camp last week, as Challenger Sports provided two British coaches to teach the game of football. The camps, held at the Blarchmont field, were well attended and very much enjoyed by participants.

Much of the world is in the midst of football fever right now, as the World Cup just wound up this weekend.

The United States team advancing beyond the first round was good for North American soc-cer, says Johnny Bradley, a coach from Challenger Sports in England, al-though there would likely be more excite-ment in Canada if a Ca-nadian team were to make the World Cup.

Nevertheless, at the grass-roots level, the game is quite popular in North America, and played by millions of kids.

Bradley and his com-

BC Hydro and Fortis BC are partnering to offer rebates

that the provincial

government hopes will

counter the 28 per cent rate

increase announced last

year

SALLY MACDONALDTownsman Staff

BC Hydro and Fortis BC are offering a suite of energy efficiency pro-grams to help B.C. resi-dents counter the ener-gy rate increases an-nounced last year.

Premier Christy Clark announced the government’s expan-sion of energy efficiency programs with broad-ened eligibility require-

ments during her visit to Cranbrook on Thurs-day, July 10.

Joining Premier Clark for the announce-ment at Cranbrook’s BC Hydro headquarters was Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines.

BC Hydro, a Crown corporation, and Fortis BC, a private energy provider, are together spending $5.4 million on programs to reduce energy costs, targeted at low-income house-holds.

“Reducing, reusing, recycling – we talk about it, but they are really hard to do, and it’s cer-tainly hard to reduce the amount of energy that you use,” said Premier Clark. “You can take a couple days off from having a shower, you can decide you want to cut down on the num-ber of loads of laundry that you want to do, you can turn off your lights. But for lots of people, they do those things and it’s really hard to find a way to get further sav-

ings in the amount that you reduce.”

It will be easier for British Columbians to apply for the programs, and about double the number of B.C. resi-dents will be eligible for the programs that will lead to energy savings, the Premier said.

“These upgrades are going to help home-owners reduce their costs by up to 30 per cent.

“It’s about making sure that we find a way to meet the needs of British Columbians by using less of this incred-ibly valuable resource and making sure that we are conserving our envi-ronment in the process.”

Minister Bennett said the announcement follows on from the news last November that BC Hydro rates will increase by 28 per cent over the next five years.

“At that time we indi-cated that we were going to spend the next few months trying to get to-gether programs that would assist low-in-

come British Columbi-ans to deal with the in-crease in electricity rates. That’s what this announcement is about here today.”

There are three pro-grams that British Co-lumbians will be able to take advantage of, and the province has in-creased the income cut-off so more people are eligible – about 20 per cent of Hydro custom-ers, and about 30 per cent of Fortis customers.

Under the Energy Conservation and Assis-tance Program, low-in-come households can get free energy assess-ments and installation of energy saving prod-ucts, ranging from $300 to $5,000.

The Home Energy Rebate Offer (HERO) of-fers homeowners new rebates, which have a total value of $6,000 per household, including a $750 bonus offer for in-stalling three or more upgrades, such as Ener-gy Star window, high ef-ficiency heating sys-tems, insulation and

left Kimberley and are headed to Victoria for an-other camp, much to the dismay of a couple of local soccer teams who had hoped to persuade the British duo to join their teams for the up-

coming JulyFest tourna-ment.

While here, Bradley and Lees taught a week-long skills camp.

Challenger Sports sends over a thousand coaches across North

America each summer to teach soccer camps and impart the British love for the game.

stripping, fridge ther-mometers and a high efficiency showerhead that could save homes $100 a year on their en-ergy bill.

From Page 1Big Sugar’s Johnson

spoke to the Townsman/Bulletin last week, from somewhere on the road, where he and the band usually are. Big Sugar is no stranger to the area. Though this will be their first Kimberley perfor-mance per se, the band has played Cranbrook several times, Invermere, Fernie … Johnson is asked if he’s partial to this area.

“Not be to be impar-tial,” he responds, “but I play everywhere at lot. Big Sugar’s been to Europe twice this year. My other group, Sit Down, Ser-vant!!, has been to Europe once, and we’re going back in the beginning of November. Big Sugar’s going back to Europe at the end of November. We’ve got a cross-Canada toured planned for Janu-ary and February next year — Man, I play every-where all the time.

“I thought I might slow down at some point, but that doesn’t seem to be in the cards right now.”

The two bands to-gether can be expected to provide a charismatic display of rock, a perfect capstone for a hot sum-mer Saturday night, and the centrepiece event for the summer party that is JulyFest.

“We call these shows Big and Wide,” Johnson said, “because it’s Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason together. And by the time Big Sugar takes the stage we bring all the Wide Mouth Mason guys in with us too, so there’s eight of us on stage.”

It should be noted that the two bands are also old pals.

“I produced a record for them back in 2000,” Johnson said. “And Wide Mouth Mason’s first cross-Canada tour was opening for Big Sugar, back in the mid-90s. They’re like our baby brothers. We’ve always been very close, these two bands.”

The synergy between Big and Wide is only in-creased by the fact that Johnson is currently serv-ing as Wide Mouth Ma-son’s bass player, and has done so for the past sev-eral years. “Their original bass player left the band, and they were kind of in the lurch because they had been offered the ZZ

Top tour. I know Billy Gib-bons (ZZ Top’s founder, guitarist and vocalist) quite well — and I thought, ‘Man, what a great opportunity for you guys, I’d hate to see you miss it. I’ll try to think of a bass player who can fill in for you.’ And they were like, ‘Uhhh, well, what about you?’ That sound-ed like a nice way to spend the summer, so I filled in with them for a while, but now it’s been four years! I think I might stick around for a bit.”

So in Kimberley, Johnson will hit the stage with Wide Mouth Mason, play that show, switch immediately to six-string and perform another high octane set with Big Sugar. Does one work a sweat that way?

“It’s pretty natural for me,” Johnson said. “That’s what I do — I play music. For anybody else that might seem exces-sive or exhausting, but that’s just what I do. It’s the other 20 hours of the day that are exhausting.

“When I’m on bass, that’s where I’m sup-posed to be, that’s where everything feels just about right.”

In other Big Sugar new, the band has a new album out — “Yard Style.”

“It’s our first all acoustic record,” John-son said. “There’s about a dozen of us, guys who’ve been in and out of Big Sugar over the years, and other collab-orators that we’ve worked with. Songwrit-ers like the guys in the Trews, Meredith Shaw, the Rastas that have been a big influence on us in Toronto.

“All these people in one room, and without really being too aware of the recording process, we just played and sang live. We sat in a circle and recorded about 20 songs, and narrowed it down to the ones that are on the album. But it was a very informal get together, just singing and playing. It was pret-ty magical recording it, and think it really comes through on that record.”

Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason play Kim-berley’s Civic Arena Sat-urday, July 19. Tickets are available online at kimberleyjulyfest.com.

For the townsmanMETCHOSIN, B.C. - Bran-

don McLellan of Cranbrook enjoyed a Familiarization Flight on Wed., July 9 in a Cessna 172, a four-seat, sin-gle-engine, high-wing fixed-wing aircraft.

“I even got to fly for about five minutes,” said the excited teenager.

All General Training Course (GTC) cadets – most 12 and 13 years old - have an opportunity to go on an ap-prox. 20 minute flight in one of three Cessnas, rented from Victoria Flying Club and flown out of 443 Maritime Helicop-ter Squadron in Sidney.

Over 140 air cadets from throughout B.C. are presently on the General Training Course. The two-week course is the first introduction many cadets have to life at a Cadet Summer Training Centre, some even the first time away

from home. Thirty-two of the more

than 500 here at Albert Head are flew out of Cranbrook Air-port the previous Saturday, and are from communities from Grand Forks to Spar-wood. Four cadets were here from Cranbrook. There are just over 3,600 air cadets in B.C.

The Cadet Program is a na-tional program for young Ca-nadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Cana-dian Armed Forces. Cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmen-tal, citizenship and communi-ty activities. Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship.

Letters to the editorLaboratory servicesIn light of some recent questions, I want-

ed to clarify the status of Interior Health outpatient (drop-in) laboratory services in Cranbrook.

When Interior Health was informed that our lease at the Green Clinic would be ter-minated July 25, we immediately began looking at the best way to provide good ac-cess to laboratory services in the long-term.

We are currently working on an agree-ment to establish an appropriate location to bring all Cranbrook out-patient laboratory services under one roof. Our intent is to se-

cure and renovate an appropriate location and have this consolidated service up and running in the fall.

In the interim, patients who have been going to the Green Clinic for lab services should access them at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital laboratory located on the main floor. Hours at the EKRH lab will be increased to 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. starting July 28 to accommodate the needs of resi-dents who formerly went to the Green Clin-ic.

I know this may be an inconvenience for some residents and I want to stress that using the EKRH lab is a temporary measure

to ensure all Cranbrook residents continue to have access to outpatient laboratory ser-vices while we set up a new permanent lo-cation. Interior Health will provide the community with more information as soon as possible.

While we are going through some chang-es right now, I want to stress that Interior Health is committed to maintaining access to quality laboratory services for the com-munity.

VAUGHN PALMER

When Finance Minister Mike de Jong released a critical report on his B.C. Liberal colleague Amrik

Virk last month, he offered a two-word characterization of the findings.

“Troubling,” he told reporters. “Unac-ceptable.”

Virk, as a member of the board of Kwan-tlen Polytechnic University back in 2012, had aided and abetted a scheme to circum-vent full reporting of executive salaries to the central agency that maintains govern-ment compensation guidelines.

“I understand that boards, generally populated by people on a volunteer basis, want to attract the very best people possi-ble,” observed de Jong. “But we have guide-lines that relate to both the amounts that are allowed to be paid and to how those amounts must be disclosed. Those require-ments weren’t met. That’s not satisfactory.”

Embarrassing, too, because Virk is now the minister for advanced education and hence the cabinet member in charge of ensuring that universities and colleges show the proper respect for government policies and guidelines.

Did de Jong see any problem with his colleague continuing in that role, in light of the bad example he set as a member of the Kwantlen board?

“No,” replied the finance minister. “Be-cause — I’ll tell you why. I have spoken with Minister Virk and I think it is fair to say that he understands in a very specific way that the requirements around disclosure weren’t met. That’s not acceptable ... I am certain that when you speak with him, Min-ister Virk will confirm he has a similar stance on the matter.”

De Jong’s assurances notwithstanding, Virk initially expressed only vague contri-tion (“it’s a humbling experience”) while minimizing the offence: “While reporting did occur ... that reporting was not fulsome and wasn’t in sufficient detail.”

Not until the day after the report came

out did he apologize: “I’m incredibly sorry that I didn’t do better as a board member. I should have sought out more information to ensure that the best reporting require-ments were done. I can only deeply regret that.”

Meanwhile, de Jong announced plans to tighten guidelines for executive compen-sation: “I am also going to be writing direct-ly to all of the institutions to ensure that they fully appreciate the level of impor-tance that the government and I attach to their compliance, not just with the techni-cal requirements of disclosure rules, but also the spirit of those disclosure rules.”

A course in Disclosure 101, he called it. Perhaps board members will appreciate the irony of being put through re-education camp while their minister, Virk, was let off the hook for his documented disrespect of the guidelines.

I thought back to the consequence-free handling of the Virk case this week when the Liberals released the report on the de-parture of CEO Michael Graydon from B.C. Lottery Corporation.

Once again, you had a damning report from the Ministry of Finance. Graydon had violated conflict guidelines by entering into discussions about a new job with a private company in the gambling industry and he violated disclosure guidelines by not telling the corporate board for two months.

Once again, there was de Jong, offering reporters his characterization of the find-ings.

“Well, they’re troubling to the extent that they reveal a very senior official con-ducted himself at the time he was in charge of a Crown corporation in a manner that was both inconsistent and fell short of the standards that one would expect,” the fi-nance minister told reporters.

“It’s also clear from the report that the exit procedures that were in place at the B.C. Lottery Corporation were not suffi-cient ... There were procedures and re-quirements in place that from the report

weren’t followed, and that, too, isn’t ac-ceptable.”

Troubling. Not acceptable. The minister appeared to be singing from the same song sheet, or perhaps thumbing to the same pages in the thesaurus.

Then, fresh from another chorus of “no-body knows the troubles I’ve seen,” de Jong proceeded to minimize the failure of the government appointees on the board of the B.C. Lottery Corporation.

Given the findings about how Graydon had conducted himself, why had the board agreed to a separation package valued at $125,000?

“It probably has something to do with what the board would have known at the time they made their decision,” replied de Jong.

Board chairman Bud Smith was not long in substantiating that excuse.

“The decisions we made as a board were based on the information that we re-ceived largely from Graydon at the time of his resignation . ... and that information was not complete,” he told Rob Shaw of The Vancouver Sun. “Had I known then what I know today ... the results would have been different.”

Meanwhile, de Jong told reporters that he would again be firing up the ministry word processor: “You will soon receive a copy of the letter that I am sending to the lottery corporation and to all Crown agen-cies making clear my expectations that ... the requirement for post-employment re-strictions, similar to what exists in the pub-lic sector and the public sector standards of conduct, be fully integrated into their indi-vidual policy guidelines.”

That sound you hear is the minister closing the barn door after yet another es-cape without retribution. Troubling, one might say. Unacceptable, even.

Germany defeats Argentina to claim FIFA World Cup title

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Sam Reinhart signed an entry level contract with the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.

Reinhart, who was a second overall selection by the Sabres at the 2014 NHL Draft, is the club’s highest pick since 1987.

He put up 36 goals and 69 assists while serving as captain of the Kootenay Ice last sea-son, and was named the

WHL’s Player of the Year and Most Sportsman-like Player of the year.

“We are very excited to have Sam under con-tract,” said Sabres gen-eral manager Tim Mur-ray. “We look forward to watching him develop and become an import-ant part of our organiza-tion in the future.”

Reinhart was select-ed by the Kootenay Ice 15th overall in the first round of the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft. He broke

a franchise rookie scor-ing record and set new ones during three full seasons with the club.

He won a bronze and a gold medal with Can-ada’s U18 team and an-other gold at the 2012 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. He also made the national ros-ter for the 2014 World Junior Championship.

Reinhart is currently in Buffalo attending a summer prospects de-velopment camp.

MAT TIAS K ARENAssociated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - With two quick and sublimely deft touches, Mario Goetze ended Germany’s 24-year wait for another World Cup title.

Goetze scored the winning goal in extra time to give Germany a 1-0 victory over Argenti-na on Sunday in a tight and tense World Cup final that came down to a few moments of indi-vidual skill.

Goetze, who wasn’t born when West Ger-

many beat Argentina in the 1990 final, con-trolled a cross with his chest in the 113th min-ute and in one fluid mo-tion volleyed the ball past goalkeeper Sergio Romero and inside the far post from five yards out.

It was a goal that gave Germany its fourth World Cup title in its eighth final, and left Ar-gentina star Lionel Messi still walking in the shadow of his com-patriot Diego Mara-dona, who led his coun-try to the 1986 title.

Goetze went on as a substitute for Miroslav Klose toward the end of regulation time and the 22-year-old midfielder’s fresh legs made the dif-ference.

Andre Schuerrle broke down the left flank, sending his cross into the area, and the Bayern Munich player did the rest with a clini-cal finish. The goal echoed that of Andres Iniesta’s four years ago, when the midfielder scored in similar fash-ion but from the other side of the area to give

Spain a 1-0 extra time win over the Nether-lands.

“It’s incredible. The team did it beautifully,” said Manuel Neuer, who was voted the tourna-ment’s best goalkeeper. “At some point we’ll stop celebrating but we’ll still wake up with a smile.”

For Germany, the win ends a string of near misses since winning its last major title at the 1996 European Cham-pionship. The team lost the 2002 World Cup final to Brazil and lost in the semifinals in both 2006 and 2010.

Argentina had not been back in the final since that 1990 loss, and has now been beaten by Germany in the last three World Cups.

“This was our chance, and we felt that way. We couldn’t do it. We have to lift our head

and suffer the pain,” Ar-gentina midfielder Javi-er Mascherano said. “Obviously, the pain is tremendous. We want-ed the cup for Argenti-na.”

It is Germany’s first World Cup title as a uni-fied nation, having won as West Germany in 1954, 1974 and 1990. It

was also the third World Cup final between these countries and had been billed as a matchup be-tween the perfect team and the perfect individ-ual, pitting Germany’s machine-like unit against the brilliance of Messi, the four-time world player of the year.

But in the biggest

game of his career, Messi came up short.

He had one good chance to score when he was sent free in the area just after the half-time break, but sent his shot wide of the far post. It was a difficult angle, but still the type of chance he so often con-verts for Barcelona.

Bandits run into tough teams at Kalispell tourney

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

It was a tough week-end in Montana, as the Bandits were winless in four games during a tournament in Kalispell.

The Calgary Rockies doubled up 10-5 on the Bandits on Friday, pull-ing away early to take the win.

In the first inning, the Rockies scored four runs, while the Bandits posted three, with a one-run deficit. Howev-er, Calgary pulled ahead in the second with three more runs, and were able to shut down Cran-brook for much of the game.

Tyler Thorn had three RBI’s on two hits, singling in the first in-ning and doubling in the fourth. Thorn was also on the pitchers mound, walking two and throw-ing one strikeout in just over two innings.

The Bandits took to the field later that after-noon for their second

game against the Mis-sion Valley Mariners, which ended in a 15-3 defeat.

The Bandits scored one in the third and two in the fourth, but it was tough to come back after giving up a 10-0 lead after two innings to the Mariners.

Brenden Bird had a pair of RBI’s, while Rob-ert Nickell added the third.

Bird also pitched most of the game, while four teammates hit the mound as well in relief.

On Saturday, it was a devastating second in-ning that led to a 11-1 defeat at the hands of a team out of Medicine Hat. The Bandits gave up eight runs after the opening inning, and

couldn’t mount a come-back.

An RBI single from Brandon Ouilette brought Noah Renette home for Cranbrook’s only run of the game in the third inning.

Again, the Bandits handled pitching by committee, with four players on the mound. Renette handled the majority of the duties, with a walk and a strike.

On Sunday, the Ka-lispell Lakers jumped early on the way to a 15-6 win over the Ban-dits.

Despite facing a 9-2 deficit after two innings, the Bandits battled back to make it 9-5 before the Lakers took it away with six runs in the fourth in-ning.

Renette, Nickell, Bird, Cedar Kemp and Jake Bromley all hit RBI singles. Ouilette han-dled most of the pitch-ing duties with four walks and three strike-outs.

daily townsman / daily Bulletin

Dear Annie: My husband and I have three children, two of whom recently gradu-ated college. We knew the dates of the grad-uations five months in advance, and we told my mother, the only grandparent they have. We told her how much we wanted her to at-tend and celebrate the accomplishments of her two oldest grandchildren. She said she couldn’t attend our son’s because she had a board meeting she “simply could not miss,” and the date for our daughter’s graduation conflicted with her picking up her new Mer-cedes at the dealership.

I am beyond hurt that my mother takes such little interest in any of my children. They are awesome kids and are always po-lite and well mannered around her. What should I say to her? (I know what I would like to say, but I won’t.)

Mom’s friends are always telling me how lucky I am to have such a wonderful mother when it couldn’t be further from the truth. Mom is extremely self-centered and is hap-py to purchase a new piece of expensive jew-elry before spending any quality time with her grandchildren. She treats my siblings’ children the same way, with the exception of one sister whose children she positively spoils. She attends those children’s sporting events, school activities and every party she is invited to.

I am a loving and caring daughter and want to have my mother in my life, but frankly, I don’t believe it’s healthy anymore to keep being hurt. I thought about telling Mom how I feel in a letter, but I doubt she would see the problem. How do I explain to my kids that it’s not them? How do I handle Mom’s lack of interest? -- At a Loss for Words

Dear At a Loss: Your mother sounds nar-cissistic. If you can accept her as she is, self-ish and self-absorbed, you can have a limit-ed relationship. There’s no point inviting her to your children’s events, because you will only be hurt by her response. Your children are old enough to understand that Grandma has personality issues that prevent her from appreciating them, and it is not anything they can change. Don’t expect more than she is capable of giving, and you will be able to handle her with less frustration and sad-ness. We hope you have friends who can fill the gap.

Dear Annie: I’d like to mention some-thing that your senior readers might not be aware of.

When my husband (a state employee) passed away, I was given the option of con-tinuing his state health care policy. It is an excellent policy and very reasonable. Not long ago, I was looking through the policy information and came across the fact that should I remarry, I would lose the coverage.

I am sure there are others out there who have continued with their spouse’s insur-ance and might not be aware of this clause. As boring as it might be, I heartily suggest sitting down with one’s health insurance policy to become familiar with all of the ins and outs. I’m pretty sure I would not take a chance on remarriage at this stage of my life. -- Covered in Massachusetts

Dear Covered: Too often, people do not check such things and don’t realize that there are hidden clauses and other surprises that merit some attention. We’re certain ev-eryone will take a closer look thanks to your warning.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Hope for the Helpless,” whose husband checks out every attractive woman. Here’s a different take on this issue.

As a new bride, I noticed my husband’s wandering eye at the beach. There were lots of pretty young women in skimpy bathing suits. As we looked around, I asked my hus-band, “Did you see the purple bikini over there?” He later told me it took all the fun out of it when I pointed out the pretty wom-en. -- K.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your creativity will pave the way to better relationships, work situations and interactions in general. Sometimes you feel limited by time. Schedule a much-needed visit with a key person in your life. You could get flak today for ignoring someone. Tonight: Be creative in how you use your time.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might feel as if you can’t do everything you want. This likely will be true, but you can priori-tize by using what you deem to be important criteria. You also might want to take another look at your budget. Show car-ing to a special friend, no matter how busy you get. Tonight: Let the good times roll.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)You’ll want to be where your friends are. Stop and take the time to visit with someone who is always present and who you might take for granted. It is much more important to be aware of who really facilitates your life. Tonight: Make calls first, then head out to where

there is great music.CANCER (June 21-July 22) One person could dominate most of your day. Whether you understand the reason why might not make a difference. Ultimately you need to deal with any issues that surround this person. Hopefully, you have only one person in your life like this! Tonight: Relax and spend time with a loved one.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll want to be available to most people right now. You can postpone conversations and interactions, but not for long. Why not complete as much as you can? You will want more free time soon. A restrictive family member could rain on your parade. Tonight: Go along with a request.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be overwhelmed, especially if someone is not on the same page as you. Avoid a strong reaction, and let what you don’t like just wash over you. Incorporate more exercise into the next 24 hours, and that will help you release some tension. Tonight: As the evening ages, the day gets better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Your creativity will kick in as you eye various issues. You’ll see a way to bypass these problems, so be sure to follow that path. A financial matter might not appear to be positive. Do some needed research, and speak with several experts. You will know what to do. Tonight: Visit with a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Be careful not to rain on any-one’s parade; otherwise, it could make you very unpopular. If you really feel negative, take some personal time or include some activity that you love in today’s plans. You could be suppressing some anger. Tonight: Nap, then decide.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to verify plans. Others could decide to follow a different course of action or make other plans. As hard as it might be, try not to take oth-ers’ decisions personally. What is good for one person won’t necessarily be good for others. Tonight: Catch up on weekend news.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Someone could be saying “no”

to what you think is a great idea. How positive is this per-son in general? Remember to take his or her comments with a grain of salt. Return calls and messages. Decide to walk in friendlier fields if you want more positive reinforcement. Tonight: Return calls.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might not like everything you hear, but you will get the message. Do your best not to let certain people discourage you. Understand where they are coming from, and support your-self as you normally do. Blaze a new path. Tonight: Your treat.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Someone could disappoint you, which is likely to cause an unusually strong reaction. You know not to internalize these feelings, yet you do anyway. Dive into a fun happening, especially if it involves a loved one; your mood will change sooner than you think. Tonight: The later, the better.
