C AROLYN GR ANTThe Cranbrook Kim-

berley Development Ini-tiative — a joint venture between the two cities to attract industrial devel-opment to the area — is proceeding and is seeing some very positive mo-mentum.

Mayor Don McCor-mick updated Council on the CKDI last week. He said that he and Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt had been in Van-

couver the previous week to attend the BC Economic Development Minister’s dinner.

It was important op-portunity, McCormick said, to get facetime with Minister Shirley Bond.

E xactly five years after Egypt’s dem-ocratic revolution triumphed, the country is once more ruled by a military office. General Abdel Fat-

tah al-Sisi seized power in July 2013, and he is even nastier than his predecessors.

More than six hundred Egyptians were sentenced to death last year, mostly in mass trials, and three-quarters of the cases involved people who had gone to pro-de-mocracy protests. An estimated 41,000 people are in jail for supporting pro-de-mocracy movements, and many of them will be there for years to come.

When Hosni Mubarak, thirty years in power, was forced to resign the presiden-cy on 9 February, 2011 by na-tionwide non-violent demon-strations, there was an explo-sion of joy. It ended an unbroken 59 years when thinly disguised military dictators – Gamal Nasser, Anwar Sadat and finally Mubarak – ruled the country and their cronies looted the economy.

When we speak about non-violent rev-olutions, what we are really saying is that the people who are demanding a revolu-tion are not using violence. The regime’s forces will generally use as much violence as they think they can get away with, but so long as the protesters remain peaceful there is a limit to how much violence the state can use.

It’s mostly a question of whether the killers will be caught on camera or not. The Mubarak regime’s police and hired thugs killed over 800 people during the weeks of constant demonstrations, but the victims were almost all murdered in one and twos on their way to or from the squares where the protesters gathered.

When the protestors were actually in the crowd on the square, video cameras were everywhere and the regime’s hench-men generally did not dare to use violence.

So in the end Mubarak resigned and the revolution won.

Egypt’s democratic revolution followed closely in the footsteps of the Tunisian rev-olution that triggered the “Arab Spring”, but it mattered far more because the country’s 90 million people account for almost a third of the world’s Arabs. Despite the di-saster in Syria, we would still count the Arab Spring as a success if the Egyptian revolution had survived, but it was never going to be easy.

The protesters who drove the revolution in the cities were mostly young, well-educated and secular in outlook, but most Egyptians are rural, poorly educated and devout. Moreover, the Muslim Brother-

hood, a moderate Islamist party, had for decades been providing free social ser-vices to poor Egyptians who were neglect-ed by the state. They were grateful and they were pious, so of course they voted for the Islamists.

The young revolutionaries should have understood that the Muslim Brotherhood was bound to win Egypt’s first free election, but they didn’t really know their own country. Most of them were horrified when “their” revolution actually ended up mak-ing the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate, Mohamed Morsi, the country’s first demo-cratically elected president.

Morsi had his own problems, trying to balance his own party’s expectation of rapid Islamisation with the reality that the army and much of the urban population were committed to a secular Egypt. He had little experience in politics and he was not good at tghtrope walking, so what he prob-ably saw as reasonable compromises were viewed by his opponents as forcing politi-cal Islam down people’s throats.

If his opponents had more political ex-

perience themselves, they would have cal-culated that nothing Morsi was doing was irreversible, and that the Muslim Brother-hood was bound to lose the next election. The Egyptian economy was a disaster and the Brotherhood had no idea how to fix it, so in four years’ time they would be deeply unpopular. Wait them out, and then vote them out.

Instead, the secular revolutionaries panicked. In June 2013, just one year after Morsi became president, they launched mass demonstrations demanding a new election – and called on the army to sup-port their cause. The army, of course, was only too happy to oblige. General Sisi, whom President Morsi had trustingly ap-pointed as defence minster, led a military coup that deposed the Muslim Brother-hood leader.

Pro-Morsi protesters were massacred in the streets in Cairo, Morsi was sentenced to death, and the Muslim Brotherhood was banned as a “terrorist” organisation. Sisi took off his uniform and had himself elect-ed president. The army is back in power, and the number of secular political activ-ists in jail is now probably greater than the number of Muslim Brotherhood support-ers.

“The level of repression now is signifi-cantly higher than it was under the Mubar-ak regime,” Egyptian investigative journal-ist Hossam Bahgat told The Guardian last month. “People from older generations say it is worse than even the worst periods of the 1950s and 60s.”

It is too soon to conclude that a modern democracy cannot thrive in the Arab world. Tunisia, after all, is still managing to hang on to its revolution, and the sheer number of people that Sisi has jailed sug-gests that his regime is far from secure. But nobody in Egypt is celebrating the fifth anniversary of the country’s democratic revolution.

Townsman sTaff A 69-year-old man

has died after a massive house fire in Fernie.

At 4:45 p.m. on Fri-day afternoon, a fire broke out at a house in a residential neighbour-hood.

The Fernie Fire De-partment and emergen-cy personnel arrived to find the house com-pletely engulfed in fire. Crews worked for hours to protect neighbouring properties.

Several witnesses re-ported hearing an ex-plosion and rushed to the home with fire extin-

guishers.The victim was found

unresponsive in a cov-ered walkway at the front of the home, but the fire and falling de-bris prevented him from being pulled out, Cana-dian Press reported.

The man’s dog was found safe outside the house.

Forensic investiga-tors have determined the fire and man’s death were not a result of foul play.

Next of kin have been notified, the but man’s name has not been re-leased.

“I’d like to thank Min-ister Bill Bennett for ar-ranging the meeting with Minister Bond,” said Mayor Pratt. “It went very well. She gave us an indication that she would do something for us and it’s already hap-pening.”

McCormick said there were two major ac-complishments, 1) a connection was made with the Major Invest-ment Office.

“All major industrial development coming to B.C. funnels through this office. We are just looking for leads.”

Second, the mayors asked for a contact in the Minister’s office to help circumvent red tape.

McCormick says that he believes that the amount of work done, and money raised makes a real difference.

“The amount of work we’ve done has been recognized. It was men-tioned at the dinner.”

CKDI has raised $250,000 through local businesses, $20,000 from the two cities, which leverages match-ing funds from the Co-lumbia Basin Trust.

The goals was 50

businesses pledging $5,000. McCormick says they are just eight busi-nesses short. He is confi-dent they will get that investment.

“That means we have a half a million dollar sales and marketing fund. We are not hiring anyone and New Dawn is providing accounting services.

“We are not ap-proaching the govern-ment looking for money. We’re saying, ‘we need you to help us tap into opportunities’. We had an extremely fa-vourable response from Minister Bond. She’s in-structed her staff to give us leads.”

One of the things they’d like to see, Mc-Cormick said, is some investment tours com-ing to the East Kootenay.

“You see them in the lower Mainland and in Kelowna. We want to see some tours coming out here. We feel we are more than competitive.

“It’s building rela-tionships to achieve a goal, which is jobs. We’re pretty excited about it.”

“It went very well and we’re really pleased with it,” Pratt agreed.

CKDI gains momentum

The GTF is part of an-nual predictable fund-ing that the federal gov-ernment transfers to British Columbia, which is then doled out through UBCM. This year, UBCM received 222 applications and ap-proved 57 new infra-structure projects under the Strategic Priorities Fund worth $73.3 mil-

lion. “The federal Gas Tax

Fund is helping local governments accelerate their capital investment plans,” said Al Rich-mond, the president of UBCM. “These invest-ments will support im-proved levels of service for facilities in commu-nities throughout BC. The 189 local govern-

nities, made the GTF announcement on Fri-day in Surrey.

“Through the federal Gas Tax Fund, the Gov-ernment of Canada is allowing communities in BC, and all across Canada, to make in-formed decisions about their infrastructure in-vestments and how best to spend federal dollars,” Sohi said. “Community officials are best posi-tioned to identify their specific needs, and the federal Gas Tax fund supports them in mak-ing those strategic in-vestments.”

ments that we represent appreciate the ongoing commitment of the Gov-ernment of Canada to improving local infra-structure. We are also pleased with the valued support provided by the Province of British Co-lumbia to deliver this program.”

There has been a change of ownership at Kimberley’s Exact Tax and it’s good news

all around.

First, long-time customers need not fear. Pat Thorrougood, the former owner, and her team, are staying on.

Secondly, Exact Tax will now offer expanded tax and accounting services as new owner, Paul Cameron, is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CA).

“We haven’t had a CA in Kimberley for many years, so this is excellent news,” Pat says.

Paul Cameron is a French Canadian originally from Calgary, but he, like a lot of others, visited Kimberley and fell hard for it.

“My parents bought a place here several years ago and I started visiting. I just fell in love with the area,” he said. “I worked in Creston and Cranbrook and then when I earned my final letters, I made it back to the right place.”

Paul says Exact Tax will continue to focus on the existing personal tax service and will now include book-keeping and corporate services.

“The staff is staying, everything is staying the same, we’re just ex-panding the scope of our services.”

During tax season, Exact Tax will be open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and as always, by appointment if you can’t make it during regular hours.

“Proudly Serving the East Kootenay for 22 Years – we care and we’ve proven it!”

REBECCA MILLER

D ecember 12, 1965 saw more than 500 guests in at-tendance at the

opening ceremony for St. Mary’s Catholic School. Mayor George Haddad cut a ribbon stretched across the stage of the auditorium and youngsters offered entertain-ment and school tours. It was an event many years in the making and those involved must have felt a huge sense of accomplishment as they looked out upon the capacity crowd that Sunday afternoon. It is a feeling that must once again be growing inside the current staff and students as they celebrate the school’s 50th anniversary this year.

The creation of St. Mary’s School was first proposed by the Most Rev. Wilfrid Doyle, Bishop of Nelson, in response to the closure of the St. Eu-gene Mission school by the Department of Indian Affairs. The local Catholic communi-ty had previously been left with considerable debt and disappointment when an earlier attempt to open a Catholic school in Cranbrook had resulted in the school’s closure after only two short years, in 1916. However, they once again rallied to this

cause. Father Maglio, St. Mary’s Parish Pastor, and a group of community-spirited citizens worked tirelessly to bring their dream to fruition, without the benefit of direct tax revenue, money bylaws, or assistance from the De-partment of Education.

The school was value at $183,000 at the time of its construction and 203 stu-dents walked its halls that first year. Eighty two native children were bussed in from St. Eugene Mission to attend classes with the 121 other white students. The primary purpose of the school was “to give to the local Indian pupils in Grades 1 to 7 the opportu-nity to receive their educa-tion in an integrated atmo-sphere”. The school’s found-ers wished for those children to graduate from St. Mary’s fully aware that they were “an equal and very important part of our society”.

In the beginning, St. Mary’s School Council re-ceived money from the De-partment of Indian Affairs in the form of tuition fees at the rate of $25 per month for 10 months per native student. The tuition for white students was $7 per family per month. Together, these tuition fees were a substantial part of the

St. Mary’s School looks back 50 years

budget. However, the num-ber of native students in at-tendance dropped consider-ably each year, so that only 36 remained by April, 1969. Many of these students were returning to their families on the reservations in Inver-mere, Grassmere, Creston, and the Shushwap area, to attend local schools there. Thus, by 1970, when the St. Eugene’s residence actually closed, only 15 native stu-dents were still attending St. Mary’s.

Financial difficulties have been a part of St. Mary’s since its inception. From early on, donations from parishes throughout the Diocese of Nelson helped to relieve the financial strain. As well, com-

munity bingos began being held in 1966 until the sum-mer of 1985. However, the greatest financial relief came in 1978 when Catholic schools began receiving gov-ernment subsidies.

Father V. LaPlante, OMI, former principal at the St. Eu-gene’s Residential School, transferred to St. Mary’s School along with four sisters of the order of the Sisters of Charity of Halifax. They, along with two laywomen and one layman made up the initial school staff. The Sisters of Charity of Halifax first saw service in the Cranbrook area at St. Eugene Mission as early as 1935 and maintained a presence within the region for 59 year. The last two re-

maining nuns, Sister Ralph and Sister Grace, both of whom had held the role of principal during their time here, both returned to Halifax in 1994. Nine additional men and women have filled the role of principal since Father LaPlante left the position in 1967.

The school has changed a great deal since that Sunday afternoon in 1965. In the fall of 1983, a portable classroom was purchased and yet an-other in 1984 to accommo-date the school’s growth. Ad-ditionally, two four-room ad-ditions were also added to the school in 1985 and 1996. Adversity also struck in 2003, when an arson fire heavily damaged the building and its

255 student had to temporar-ily lease the then recently closed Muriel Baxter Ele-mentary School building till spring break of 2004. Heavy smoke and water damage re-sulted in a renovation project worth almost $2 million.

The school has experi-ence its fair share of growing pains throughout the years, but the resilience of the school has allowed it to sur-vive and thrive. Mayor Hadd-ad described the school as a “credit to the city,” something generations of teachers, par-ents, and the Catholic parish have worked hard at main-taining. It is a community school which has now been a part of Cranbrook for half a century.

Formal letter welcome from the Grade 1 students at school opening ceremony.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

A win is a win — it might not have been pretty, but the Kootenay Ice found a way to do just that Friday night, as they claimed a 3-2 shootout victory over the Spokane Chiefs in WHL action at Western Financial Place.

“We were not good for the first two periods, there’s no question about it,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Friday night. “We didn’t de-serve to be in the game. Declan [Hobbs] kept us in there. But finding a way — the third period, we were better, the last five minutes [of regula-tion] we were real good and obviously had a lot of energy in overtime.”

It was nearly 10 p.m. (Mountain) by the time Friday’s back-and-forth affair between the Ice and Chiefs came to a close, but when it finally ended, Hobbs’ perfor-mance was undoubted-ly the most vital to the outcome as he turned away 40 pucks and two more in the shootout to claim his second victory of the campaign.

“Any two points is two points,” Hobbs said Fri-day. “It was good. But we’ve got to work to get another [win] tomorrow.

“I just kept a level head throughout the en-tire game, especially with the ice mainte-nance before the third period started — it was tough to stay in it. But you’ve got to mentally focus and battle through that.”

Overtime didn’t come to fruition without some late-game drama.

Before the third peri-od began in what was a 1-1 hockey game, there was a 20-minute delay coming out of the sec-ond intermission as rink crews worked to patch up a problematic patch of ice behind the Chiefs

net.After coming back to

the bench, the two teams were ushered back to their dressing rooms, before returning to the benches once again only to sit for a long stretch. Eventually play got under way, but not before nearly 20 minutes had passed.

“In the intermission we finally started to find some energy somehow and talked about put-ting the first 40 [min-utes] behind us, let’s be better, we still have a chance to win a game,” Pierce said. “Guys were jumping in the hall and getting ready, then you go out and nothing hap-pens for 20 minutes. It’s hard. But both teams were dealing with the same thing.”

Midway through the period Chiefs forward Hudson Elynuik gave his club its first lead of the night, depositing a power-play goal past Hobbs fora 2-1 lead with 6:30 to go in regulation.

Trailing 2-1 with 32.1 seconds remaining and an offensive-zone face-off coming to the glove side of Chiefs goalten-der Tyson Verhelst, Pierce called timeout to draw up a play.

From there, things didn’t go exactly to plan, but with time winding down, the puck came to Ice captain Tanner Lish-chynsky at the point and he unleashed a booming shot that went top shelf past Verhelst to tie the game with only three seconds remaining.

“We lost the draw and there was as big scrum, I just sat out front,” Lishchynsky said, recounting the se-quence following Fri-day’s victory. “I luckily got the puck and shot it in.

“It felt great. I know how hard everyone was working to try and get that goal for us.”

Three-on-three over-time provided its share of excitement as the two clubs exchanged oppor-tunities.

The save of the extra period most definitely belonged to Hobbs, who stoned Chiefs veteran Markson Bechtold with a critical left shoulder save off an odd-man rush.

No one found the back of the net in over-time, sending the game to the shootout — a first for the Kootenay Ice in the 2015-16 campaign.

First, Chiefs rookie Jaret Anderson-Dolan hit the post behind Hobbs. Then Matt Alfaro swung wide right before cutting in and deking past Verhelst to give the Ice the opening edge in the skills competition.

After Dominic Zwerg-er missed the net wide on the second attempt for the Chiefs, Jesse Za-harichuk — fresh off sit-ting out Wednesday’s loss to Tri-City after vio-lating curfew — had a shot at redemption.

The shifty winger made no mistake, going bar down over the shoulder of Verhelst to clinch the shootout and a 3-2 victory.

“Everyone is happy once you’re winning, ev-erything is always better,” Lishchynsky said. “We’ve

been working on a lot of our systems stuff. That is finally paying off. Guys are listening, we’re all working hard and work-ing together. We’re play-ing as a team now and it’s working out good.”

A penalty-filled opening 20 minutes saw Ice winger River Beattie convert on his team’s third advantage of the period, banging a re-bound past Verhelst for a 1-0 lead only 5:27 into the festivities.

The sequence began after Alfaro found Zak Zborosky at the point. With no optimal pass, the 19-year-old Regina native sent a long shot in that gave Verhelst some trouble and Beat-tie pounced on the re-bound.

Chiefs rookie Hayden Ostir knotted the game less than seven minutes later, battling for a loose puck in Ice territory, be-fore spinning and firing a high shot past the glove of Hobbs to tie the game 1-1 at the 12:12 mark.

The tying tally went into the books as the first-career WHL goal for the 16-year-old na-tive of Winnipeg.

The opening 20 min-utes of play proved busy for Hobbs as the Chiefs sent 20 pucks in on the rookie netminder. At the

other end Verhelst faced 10 shots.

After a grand total of five power-play oppor-tunities during the first period — three for Koo-tenay, two for Spokane — the two teams and the officials settled in. At the end of the night, the Ice went 1-for-5 with the man advantage, while the Chiefs were 1-for-4.

While Hobbs made 40 saves on the 42 shots he faced, Verhelst turned

aside 27 of 29 pucks sent his way, but was 0-for-2 in the shootout.

Saturday in Spokane, the Ice and Chiefs once again needed extra time to find a solution. This time around, it was Keanu Yamamoto boosting the hosts to a 4-3 overtime victory.

Goaltender Wyatt Hoflin was stellar, mak-ing 35 saves between the pipes for the Ice. Lishchynsky, Vince Los-

chiavo and Cale Fleury scored for Kootenay (10-40-5-0).

Next up, the Ice hit the road to visit the Bran-don Wheat Kings (35-17-2-2) Wednesday night.

Dugdale, Wit star as Nitros defeat GhostridersKimberley Dynamiters inch closer to KIJHL regular season crown with win over FernieTaylor rocc a

Graham Dugdale shook a gorilla off his back Saturday night, scoring his first-career KIJHL goal in his 45th career game to open the scoring and set the tone as the Kimberley Dyna-miters went on to a 3-1 victory over the Fernie Ghostriders in KIJHL action at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

“Oh man, that’s a huge weight off my shoulders,” Dugdale said with a smile Satur-day night. “It was in my mind up until this point. It’s nice to play a little lighter after that.

“You’re looking for-ward to the Fernie game all week because you know it’s going to be a hard-fought battle.”

The 18-year-old na-tive of Vulcan, Alta., took a feed from Keenan Haase before ringing a sharp shot off the post and in behind Ghostrid-ers goaltender Brandon Butler to give his team a 1-0 lead midway through the first period of play.

With one goal and five points to his credit this season, Dugdale’s greatest value has come in the form of tireless work ethic and physical play. Saturday night, he was finally rewarded on the scoresheet for his ef-forts.

“He probably led the team in hits last night [in a 3-1 road win over the Spokane Braves] and it came to fruition tonight,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, Saturday evening. “That’s kind of how it goes. It’s import-ant these guys realize that sometimes the little things make a difference.

“I know [Dugdale] has been appraising himself a lot and getting down on himself be-cause he doesn’t score, but he can be a huge contributor just by fin-ishing his checks, being strong on his stick and he did a good job of that [Friday] and he was one of our better players to-night.

“It’s a good time of year to do that if you want to get in the lineup in the playoffs.”

It was a busy opening 20 minutes for the Nitros fourth-line grinder. On the shift following his first tally, Dugdale took a run at Ghostriders for-ward Dan Burgess, level-ling the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Jaffray native with

a heavy hit in front of the Fernie bench.

After serving a two-minute interference minor for his indiscre-tion, Dudgale returned to the play and blocked a shot in his own end of the rink to negate a Fern-ie scoring opportunity.

On his next shift, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound pest collected the puck once again, going down the left wing before slid-ing another great op-portunity in on Butler, who was able to squeeze the pads to keep his team within one.

As busy as Dugdale was in the opening 20 minutes of action, only Butler was busier. The 19-year-old native of Calgary faced 15 shots in the opening period, including a handful of odd-man opportunities.

The 5-foot-8 puck-stopper was on his game early, making critical saves on Tanner Wit, Brodie Buhler and Saw-yer Hunt.

Though he was sty-mied in the first period, Wit managed to extend the hosts’ advantage only 4:30 into the sec-ond period.

From below the goal line, Eric Buckley fil-tered a nifty pass into the slot without a Ghostrider in sight, al-lowing the 5-foot-11, 190-pound forward to step into a heavy blast. Few goalies would’ve had a chance on a shot like that as Wit found the back of the net for a 2-0 Kimberley lead.

“Eric Buckley is a great player and he has a way of luring in the ‘D’ man,” Wit said, recount-ing his ninth goal of the season. “I was lucky enough to be on the ice as he was luring those two ‘D’ men towards the net. I hollered his name and he gave me a glori-ous opportunity.”

Wit, 19, has grown into a key presence for the Dynamiters since coming over from the Golden Rockets in a ex-change for a player de-velopment fee just prior to the Jan. 10 trade deadline.

“He is a good, char-acter kid, a real quality kid,” Bancks said of Wit. “He wants to do well and he’s been paying at-tention really well. It’s nice to see him get re-warded with some points. He’s going to have a big role in the playoffs. It’s nice to see

him playing as well as he is right now.”

For Wit, the prospect of post-season action is an exciting one after slugging through a tough start to the campaign in Golden. He’s thankful for the opportunity the Rockets’ coaches and staff gave him when they traded him to Kimber-ley, but he knows his new Dynamiters squad can still elevate its play.

“There’s definitely another gear to hit,” Wit said. “Jerry [Bancks] likes to say, ‘It’s not a switch.’ You can’t flick it on or off for the post-season.

“We’ve got to come out and play as hard as we can every game from now on. The challenge was to be our best and get ready for playoff hockey and I think we’re getting there. We’re not there yet, but we’re defi-nitely getting there as a team.”

Despite allowing Wit’s goal to start the pe-riod, Butler continued his stellar performance as the Dynamiters con-

trolled puck possession for the bulk of the pro-ceedings.

Butler got the best of Wit on a few more op-portunities in tight, be-fore making a great kick save with the right pad off a Hunt howitzer as the Dynamiters enjoyed a power play midway through the period.

At the other end, Zach Befus got the visi-tors back in the game with a power-play goal.

After George Bertoia was sentenced to two minutes in the penalty box for holding, the 6-foot-1 Befus found himself with time and space at the top of the right circle, sending a laser over the shoulder of goaltender Tyson Brouwer, off the bar and in to make it 2-1 with 11:48 to go in the second period.

Haase added an in-surance marker in the third period, with no fault against Butler.

After turning aside a couple great chances from Buckley, Butler

was down and out with little help in tight, leav-ing Haase, the Califor-nia product, to deposit the 3-1 tally into the back of the cage.

By the end of Satur-day’s contest, Butler turned aside 34 shots, while Brouwer was good on 13 of 14 at the other end, claiming his league-leading and ca-reer-high 30th victory of the season.

With the win, the Dy-namiters (39-7-0-4) inched ever closer to the KIJHL regular season title. Having already wrapped up the Eddie Mountain Division title and Kootenay Confer-ence belt, the Dynamit-ers can guarantee them-selves the league crown by winning out to finish the season.

“We want to be the team we want to be for the rest of the year going into playoffs,” Dugdale said. “We want to be a hard-working team and we want to make sure we end the season on the right foot.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) One can dream of easy Mon-days, but how often does it actually happen? Most of your energy will be focused on mak-ing calls, scheduling meetings and networking. Because you are likely to do everything well, you’ll feel satisfied by the day’s end. Tonight: Paint the town red. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Curb a jealous streak that often clouds your interactions. You might not be aware of how de-sirable you are to others. Your style pulls many people toward you right now. All that negative feelings will do is separate you from others. Tonight: Organize yourself. Pay bills. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have not only your best in-terests in mind, but also those of a loved one. You could be at a point where no one can change your mind about a particular idea. It never hurts to listen and take in others’ opinions. Tonight: Express your feelings, but also be a good listener.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Intensity marks your activities. Be careful not to overwhelm a friend or loved one. Not every-one needs to be as passionate and involved as you are. Share some of your stronger feelings in a way that won’t make you feel too vulnerable. Tonight: Make it an early bedtime. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be concerned about dissension from a higher-up. Your innate charm will help you bypass this issue and oth-ers. As a result, a meeting will go smoothly and plans can be launched. Others support you far more than you’d thought possi-ble. Tonight: Where the action is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be at the point of no return with a higher-up or supervisor. Indulge this person and listen to where he or she is coming from; try to understand his or her logic. You have a way about you that draws in many people, which allows for more open communication. Tonight: Out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

To have your day flow smoothly, you must be more understand-ing of others. Do not push so hard to get a certain response; instead, detach and see where others are coming from. This type of mutuality helps situa-tions move with ease. Tonight: Relax to a favorite TV series. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be overwhelmed by all the possibilities in front of you. Which one feels right? Which one do you think will work best? A discussion with someone who has more exper-tise on the issue will give you insight about which way to go. Tonight: Togetherness works. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others seem to be a bit full of themselves, but not without reason. Solutions come quickly if you relax and listen to the many suggestions around you. Express your appreciation, even if you have to play devil’s advocate as you go through each option. To-night: Say “yes” to an offer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Dive into work or a project. If you drop your guard and lose

your concentration, you could find that there is a lot to dis-tract you. Once you get through enough to satisfy yourself, then you might want to reach out to someone you care about. To-night: Get plenty of R and R. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Let your creativity flow as you go through your day. Others tend to enjoy your ideas and sugges-tions. Perhaps one person will make light of your thoughts today, but know that he or she is likely to give it more thought later. Tonight: Add sparkle and a sense of mischief. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Manage a personal or domestic issue first; otherwise, thoughts of that matter will interfere with any other project or consider-ation you might be involved in. A discussion could take you to a new understanding or level of mutuality with a loved one. Tonight: Stay close to home. BORN TODAY Cartoonist Matt Groening (1954), women’s rights activist Susan B. Anthony (1820), actress Jane Seymour (1951)

Dear Annie: My fiance, “Derek,” and I have been together for four years and recently purchased a home. Here’s the problem: Derek’s father passed away a year ago, and since then, Derek has been drinking a lot. I’d like to get married and start a family, but I am finding it really difficult to want a life with him. I have not spoken to anyone about this. I’ve been trying to work it out with Derek on my own. He’ll say that he has to “do better,” but within a week, things take a turn for the worse. He can’t seem to control the drinking once he starts. I have suggested it might be time to see someone, but he doesn’t recognize that there is a serious problem. Now, Derek has started to blame me for his drinking. He says he resents me because I don’t want him to drink. After the last argument, I told him that I was going to move back in with my parents. He stopped for a week and then started up again. Derek doesn’t seem to care about my feelings and clearly isn’t willing to “do better,” as he keeps promising. I think he tells me what I want to hear, and I have not taken the right steps to show him that I won’t put up with it. I don’t want to waste four more years dealing with this. What do you recommend? -- Ready to Give Up Dear Ready: You can suggest to Derek that he get grief counseling, since he doesn’t seem to be coping well with his father’s death. You also can look into Al-Anon (al-anon.org) for yourself. But please don’t expect Derek to change for you. Until he demonstrates that he has, in fact, curtailed his drinking for the long term, nothing you say or do will help. You can only do what is best for your own situation. If you believe that moving out will be better for you, don’t make idle threats. Do it. Then decide whether you are better off with or without Derek -- the way he is. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “The Ones Left Behind,” who said that she and her husband raised her three kids with no help from their birth father. Now that the kids are grown, the father is back in the picture and the kids are hungry for his attention. She feels they are leaving her in the dust. I gave my ex-wife a divorce with no complications. I always paid child support on time. She moved. I paid the plane fare to get my son in the summer. Then she claimed she couldn’t get him to the airport and I had to drive down to pick him up. I got a lawyer involved and that made it worse. I didn’t want to tell my son what kind of mother she really was, so I figured I would stay away and maybe he would someday look me up. It’s been 25 years. -- Brokenhearted Dear Brokenhearted: We are sorry that you’ve lost this relationship. But parents without custody must work hard to remain in their children’s lives, no matter how difficult the ex makes things. The kids don’t know why you have withdrawn. They only know that you no longer seem interested in them, and a vindictive ex will make sure such negative beliefs are reinforced.

Yme Woensdregt

A good–sized au-dience was treated to an

evening of Celtic and folk music by award–winning Canadian sing-er and songwriter Lizzy Hoyt, backed by our own Symphony of the Koote-nays. Her website prom-ises that “she will dazzle you with her talents on fiddle, guitar, mandolin, harp and step-dance”—and she did not disap-point.

This concert pre-miered her “Canadian Folk Sketches” concert, with brand–new sym-phonic arrangements of her own original compositions as well as Canadian folk songs from around the coun-

try. She sang songs from or inspired by every part of Canada, from BC to Newfound-land, with stops in al-most every province. To her credit, she included Metis and Inuit music as well in beautiful ar-rangements.

She performed with flair, delighting the audi-ence who could not keep their toes from tap-ping. She has an amaz-ing talent, playing vio-lin, guitar and harp with equal ability. She is backed up by a couple of other equally talented musicians on mandolin and upright bass.

Hoyt has justifiably won numerous national and international awards, including the

Queen’s Diamond Jubi-lee Medal by the Gover-nor General of Canada for her outstanding con-tribution to commemo-rating Canadian veter-ans and history through

A musical tour of Canada, song by songThe Lizzy Hoyt Trio, the

Symphony of the Kootenays, and ‘Canadian Folk Sketches’

music. I found her song “Vimy Ridge” to be an incredibly touching and moving tribute to the tens of thousands of sol-diers who died in that bloody and awful battle.

She displays a talent for writing touching and poignant stories, sung to simple and memorable tunes, using strong, cap-tivating images in her lyrics.

The symphonic ar-rangements of her

music sparkled and danced. Our own Sym-phony played up to its usual high standard.

I have to admit that I wasn’t sure whether I’d enjoy the concert or not as I made my way to the Key City Theater. After all, I reasoned, if I want-ed to listen to folk music, I’d buy a ticket to that kind of concert. But Hoyt’s winsomeness won me over. She has a contagious delight in

her music, and she drew us all into an evening of toe–tapping, hand–clapping joy.

That having been said, I have two small caveats. Hoyt has a light-er voice, which was oc-casionally lost in the symphonic arrange-ments. She will need to learn to sing with more than a trio backing her up. Secondly, there were more “fiddle tunes” than I cared for. After a

while, they all begin to sound the same to me.

A wee note to con-ductor Jeff Faragher—perhaps we could schedule an orchestral overture for a pops con-cert like this. It is, after all, a symphony concert.

The final concert is scheduled for April 9, and it promises to be a real treat, with Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto and Tchaikovsky’s Sympho-ny #2.
