THE GREAT PUMPKIN: Wally Smith of Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement checks out the official weight of Kate Ruoss’s gargantuan Atlantic pumpkin, while Kate herself looks on. The vast vegetable was grown out at Fort Steele Heritage Town and was the subject of a “Guess the Weight” contest on Thanksgiving Sunday. For the verdict, see Page 2.

in the Kootenay region in September was just three per cent. That is significantly lower than the provincial av-erage for the month, at 6.7 per cent.

“Unemployment rates are

like polls; they are a snap-shot in time and shouldn’t be used to base broad as-sumptions on. Having said that, a rate of three per cent is probably a record for the Kootenays. I cannot recall

such a low rate at any time in my 12 and a half years as an MLA,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, who is also B.C.’s Minister of Ener-gy, Mines and Natural Gas.

The Kootenays’ unem-

ployment rate has been dropping consistently all year, since peaking at 7.8 per cent in January. Last month was the lowest it has reached in at least two years.

Based on figures from

January to September 2013, the Kootenay unemployment rate is 4.9 per cent. During the same period in 2012, the rate was 7.3 per cent.

The lowest annual rate in the past 10 years was in 2008, when 4.9 per cent of the pop-ulation were jobless.

Last month, 796,000 peo-ple were employed in the Kootenays, leaving just three per cent of the region’s popu-lation without jobs.

Elsewhere in the province, the northeast region had a rate of 4.9 per cent and Victo-ria had a rate of 5.3 per cent. On the higher end of the scale, Vancouver, the mainland/southwest region and Abbots-ford/Mission all had an un-employment rate of 7.1 per cent.

Good time to be a job seeker, stats suggest

A new piece of Cranbrook’s popular cycle and walk trail Rotary Way has been paved.

The 400-metre section be-gins at the traffic light on High-way 3 opposite the Chamber of Commerce, then runs beside Joseph Creek to the intersec-tion of Kokanee Drive, Panora-ma Road and 30th Avenue North.

The newly paved trail is part of what’s known as the Rotary Way Link. When it is completed next year, the Link will extend Rotary Way from 30th Avenue North to the start of North Star Rails to Trails behind Home Depot.

Courtesy Jenny HumpHreyThis summer, Kate Ruoss of

Cranbrook grew a gargantuan At-lantic pumpkin from one of two seeds given to her in the spring. Her garden at Fort Steele’s Cohn House is always productive but Kate had always wanted to try to grow one of these giant squash. 

After germinating two seeds and selecting the strongest plant, she anxiously awaited the flow-ers. Many trips were made to her garden waiting for the first female flower to open.

Not wanting any cross pollina-tion with other squash, Kate hand

pollinated the first female flow-ers. 

After two fruit were assured, only one baby squash was kept.

“Kate’s new baby,” as the squash became affectionately known, was carefully nursed through summer and photo-graphed many times by tourists.

Under the watchful eyes of Ryan Yadernuk and Dennis Ju-hasz, Fort Steele employees, the pumpkin survived with only one nibble from the deer, until this Thanksgiving Weekend.

On Thanksgiving Sunday the Atlantic pumpkin was the topic

for a “Guess the Weight” contest, and two passes to the Halloween Spooktacular were awarded to those who guessed the weight most closely.

It took five men to carry the pumpkin to the weigh scale brought in and kindly lent for the occasion by Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement.

The pumpkin weighed in at 225 pounds.

Two people tied for the win: Deborah Lye of Kimberley and Amy Korth of Rosen Lake, who will be enjoying the upcoming Halloween Spooktacular.

This web poll is informal. It reflects opinions of site visitors who voluntarily participate. Results may not represent the opinions of the public as a whole. Black Press is not responsible for the statistical accuracy of opinions expressed here.

Barry CoulterIt’s that time of year

— as the fall gets looking a little more wintery, flu season rears its head, and folks start talking about flu vaccinations.

Interior Health is of-fering several drop-in clinics for the public next month. The shots are free for eligible peo-ple in several categories.

The shots will take place at the Tamarack Centre (180 - 1500 Cran-brook St.) on Thurday, Nov. 7 (9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.), Friday, Nov. 8 (9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.) and Wednesday, Nov. 13 (9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.).

There will be another clinic at the Cranbrook Health Unit (20 - 23rd Avenue South) on Fri-day, Nov. 15, from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

“It is important to get a flu shot yearly because flu viruses change from

year to year,” reads the Interior Health website. The flu is caused by in-fluenza viruses A and B. There are different strains of the flu virus every year. “Each year the influenza (flu) vac-cine is updated to in-clude the current viruses that are circulating,” the website reads.

According to the IH

website, this year’s vac-cine contains three dif-ferent flu strains:

•A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) pdm09-like

• A / V i c t o -ria/361/2011 (H3N2)-like virus

• B / M a s s a c h u -setts/2/2012-like virus

Most people get bet-ter without problems. But sometimes the flu

can lead to a bacterial infection, such as an ear infection, a sinus infec-tion, or bronchitis. In rare cases, the flu may cause a more serious problem, such as pneu-monia.

Certain people are at higher risk of problems from the flu. They in-clude young children, pregnant women, older adults, and people with long-term illnesses or with impaired immune systems that make it hard to fight infection.

The flu shots are pro-vided free for:

• People 65 years and older and their caregiv-ers/household contacts;

• People of any age in residential care facili-ties;

• Children and adults with chronic health con-ditions and their house-hold contacts;

• Children and ado-

Cyclists and walkers will be able to get onto Rotary Way at any point of its route in Cranbrook and follow it through town, over the Link, onto the Rotary Way Connector from Theatre Road to Wildstone Golf Course, and end up on North Star Rails to Trails, the 25-kilometre paved trail to Kimber-ley.

“There’s the Rotary Connector that got us to the railway crossing (at Theatre Road), and now we are working on a Ro-tary Link to get the Con-nector to the cycle/walk trail,” explained Chris New, the City of Cran-brook’s director of lei-sure services.

The Rotary Club of Cranbrook was instru-mental in paving the two-kilometre Con-nector, which was offi-cially opened last year. Now the club is work-ing with the City of Cranbrook to see the Link completed.

“Starting next con-struction season in 2014, we will do what we now call the Rotary Way Link. This will be the link that goes from the Connector to the exist-ing Rotary Way,” said the

Rotary Club’s Ron Popoff.

Paving work on the 400-metre section from 30th Avenue North to the highway began ear-lier in October and is expected to be com-plete later this week. Cyclists and walkers will be able to utilize the new section right away, though it won’t be officially opened until the rest of the Link is complete.

“We probably won’t paint it right away; we’ll probably do everything at one time,” explained Chris New.

“The paved portion is just one part of it to get the two trails togeth-er.”

From the traffic light on Highway 3 outside the Chamber of Com-merce, the Rotary Way Link will travel along McPhee Road past the transfer station and Home Depot, then con-nect with the Rotary Way Connector and North Star Rails to Trails behind the railway crossing at Theatre Road.

The work was made possible thanks to a $280,000 grant from the B.C. government’s

IH offering drop-in flu shot clinics in Novemberlescents (6 months to 18 years) with conditions treated for long periods of time with Acetylsali-cylic Acid (Aspirin/ ASA) and their household contacts;

• Children and adults who are very obese;

• Aboriginal people; • All children 6-59

months of age; • Household contacts

and caregivers of infants and children 0-59

months of age; • Pregnant women at

any stage of pregnancy during the influenza season and their house-hold contacts;

• People who work with live poultry;

• Health care and other care providers in facilities and communi-ty settings who are capa-ble of transmitting influ-enza disease to those at high risk of influenza

complications; • Individuals who

provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high risk persons (e.g., crew on ships);

• People who provide essential community services (First Respond-ers, Corrections Work-ers);

• Inmates of provin-cial correctional institu-tions.

Interior Health flu shot clinics will be at the Tamarack Mall Nov. 7, 8 and 13, and the Cranbrook Health Unit Nov. 15.

Community Recreation Program. The Rotary Club pitched in the re-mainder needed to see the Rotary Way Link completed.

About a third of the grant went to replacing old wooden bridges over Joseph Creek on the Rotary Way in Kins-men and Idlewild Parks.

It’s all about creating a community that is more friendly to walk-ing and cycling, said Popoff.

“The ultimate goal from Rotary’s perspec-

tive is: we need to be-come more active for utilitarian and recre-ational purposes. We need to find other ways rather than sitting in our car all the time and relying on vehicles to get us around. We need to realize that getting out and about – walk-ing and cycling on Ro-tary Way – gives a great sense of social belong-ing in our community, and it’s a vital piece for staying active and being participatory in our community for all ages.”

Barry CoulterDo you know what to

do when an earthquake strikes?

Canada’s largest earthquake prepared-ness drill is set for Oct. 17.

As part of this year’s Great British Columbia ShakeOut, thousands of British Columbians will “drop, cover and hold on” as part of an earth-quake drill. Similar events are taking place across Canada and worldwide.

Last year, there were more than 590,000 par-ticipants in the Canadi-an event.

As part of this year’s Great British Columbia ShakeOut, thousands of BCers will “drop, cover and hold on” as part of an earthquake drill, with other similar events taking place worldwide and drawing millions of participants.

B.C.’s event, led by the B.C. Earthquake Al-liance and the Insur-ance Bureau of Canada, is set for Oct. 17 at 10:17 a.m. The province of

British Columbia has also officially pro-claimed Oct. 17 Shake-Out BC Day.

“While potential earthquake hazards de-pend on location, ev-erywhere in British Co-lumbia is considered at high risk in relation to the rest of Canada,” the-ShakeOut BC website advises. “For example, on January 26, 1700, a magnitude 9 earth-quake (similar to the 2011 Tohoku earth-quake off the coast of Japan) shook the entire province as well as Washington, Oregon, and California, and gen-erated a massive tsuna-mi.”

In the East Kootenay, more than 3,500 are reg-istered to participate. Most of the participants are part of the regional school districts, but pro-vincial government em-ployees, non-profit or-ganizations and others are also taking part, in-cluding the Cranbrook Daily Townsman.

The components to an earthquake drill are:

• Alarm — During the alarm stage, a loud warning device alerts employees the drill is beginning.

• Response — During the response stage, ev-eryone heads for cover. Participants are to get under a desk, heavy table, chair or doorjam. Move away from win-dows, glass or light fix-tures. If there is no cover available, crouch and try to protect your head.

• Evacuation — After the shaking has stopped, evacuate the building and move to a pre-determined muster station.

• Assembly and roll call — Designated per-sonnel will take the roll call at the muster sta-tion. In the event of a real earthquake, a search and rescue team would be dispatched to find missing people.

• After the drill, an evaluation should be conducted to identify snags or potential prob-lem areas.

The Great British Co-lumbia ShakeOut is an

annual opportunity to practice how to be safer during big earthquakes. The ShakeOut has also been organized to en-courage schools and or-ganizations to review

and update emergency preparedness plans and supplies, and to prevent damage and injuries.

To register to partici-pate, go to www.shake-outbc.ca.

MLA Bennett said the coal industry, for-estry and tourism are keeping unemployment low in the region.

“The coal mines are the biggest employer and even with lower coal prices, they are still having to replace retir-ing workers. Their workforce has grown by a thousand workers in the past five years.

“Canfor is also very busy. There are fewer jobs in forestry than there used to be, but forestry has stabilized in our region, so many people are working in that industry.

“Tourism is coming back, not up to the same standards as 2007-08 before the U.S. economic crash, but getting stronger,” Ben-nett said, adding that Kootenay residents also commute to work in the northern B.C. and Al-berta oil sands.

“When you look at all these opportunities, you can see why the rate is as low as it is.”

Local employers are now struggling with the opposite problem: there are too few skilled work-ers to fill positions, Ben-nett explained.

“The skills shortage is upon us – it is not “coming”, it is actually happening right now. I see it every day in my job as Minister as I trav-

el the province. This is due in part to how many baby boomers are retir-ing and making space for people to move into good jobs.”

Across B.C., unem-ployment is higher for men (6.3 per cent) than women (6.2 per cent). Men aged 45 to 64 are in the best position (4.5 per cent), compared to men aged 25 to 44 (6.1 per cent) and 15-24 (12.8 per cent).

Similarly, women aged 45 to 64 in B.C. have a low rate (5.6 per cent), with women aged 25 to 44 at 5.8 per cent and women aged 15 to 24 at 9.9 per cent.

Most people are em-ployed on a full-time basis, with 21 per cent of people with jobs working part-time. But it varies greatly for men and women: 13.4 per cent of men work part-time, versus 29.3 per cent of women.

In Canada, B.C.’s un-employment rate is among the lowest at 6.7 per cent. The western provinces are in the best position: Alberta and Saskatchewan have the lowest rates at 4.3 per cent, followed by Mani-toba at 5.5 per cent. The highest unemployment rates are in the Mari-times, with Prince Ed-ward Island at 11 per cent, and New Bruns-wick at 10.7 per cent.

“Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?”

Friedrich Nietzsche

“I have only this to say about growing old – I didn’t notice it happening and I don’t agree with it.”

Paul Getty

Knowing full well that I was going to be over-fed on Thanksgiving Day, I opted to go for a walk the day be-

fore. There’s a slope on the south-east side of Eager Hill where I have never set foot and it had bugged me every time I drove by.

Folk these days are al-ways going on about their ‘bucket lists’ but I don’t think I have one. There seems to be nothing that I just have to do before I kick the proverbi-al bucket, but that slope just nagged at me, like a toothache, which I have left too late to suffer.

Anyway, on the Sunday before the feasting began, I ate a frugal breakfast, packed a small lunch and set off with alacrity and a ski pole for support.

The climb turned out to be rather like the lives of our ancient ancestors: nasty, brutish and (thankfully) short. I’d esti-mated a half hour for me to get my old

body up there but it took me 45 minutes. There were no apparent trails, felled trees everywhere for me to stumble over and thick grass through which I couldn’t see.

I got there without mishap but, ex-pecting to sit a while and bask in my dotage and the bright Fall sunshine, found myself instead in the company of a group of young people and their dogs.

By sheer coincidence, I had called at the house of the folk that planned to feed me the dinner on the next day and had

taken with me a few bis-cuits in order to pacify their very large dog. But the family was out – no doubt shopping for even more food – so when I sat on the bench at the top of Eager Hill, I was well supplied with biscuits of

the doggy kind. I made a large number of new friends, especially the golden re-triever who not only wanted to share my lunch but, naturally for her breed, also felt that she should sit on my lap while she ate it. We had a discussion about that issue.

The people were lovely too. I guessed that they were university students from both Kimberley and Cranbrook, very po-lite and pleasant ones, and they asked me to take a photograph of them.

That’s where the problems began. I’d never handled one of those iPad thingies, not desiring to be ‘nursed on the tele-communications teat’, as someone so nicely put it, and made a mess of the job. I could not get the process right – all thumbs for several tries, I was – but pa-tience prevailed and the students thanked me without smirking as they departed with their tribe of dogs.

I was extremely thankful that after-noon before Thanksgiving as I carefully made my way down towards my car. I was thankful to my parents who had passed on the genes that enabled me, despite my age, to climb up that slope, thankful for my lovely wife with whom I had shared 60 years of fun in the mountains, and to her for helping me to choose a home in this gorgeous valley, thankful to my friends who have walked the hills with me and those that still do, and thankful to those who were going to be home all day cooking that huge meal I was anticipat-ing. I believe I was grinning like a clown as I reached my car without mishap.

As I drove into town, I realized that I was also extremely grateful for the fact that I am not forced by necessity or by convention to carry and use one of those phone and camera gadgets. I am a codger and enjoying every minute of it, and giv-ing thanks.

Thankful for the codgerhood

Avs ready to hit the road to open new season

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The men and wom-en’s Avalanche are ready to roll into the new sea-son, kicking things off with a road trip to Van-couver Island where they will face Camosun College and Vancouver Island University for a four-game stretch.

The women’s team has been together since the end of August, work-ing with the new recruits in practice and tuning up in some preseason tournaments at home and abroad.

Now, it’s time to put all that work to the test.

“I think everyone’s getting a little more con-fident in their play, here at the college,” said Alli-son Pepper, who plays middle. “It’s a lot differ-ent pace from high school, getting into the college pace. Everyone got to play in the last two tournaments and they’ve gotten a bit of a confidence boost, know-ing that they do belong on the team and that they can play at this level and so I think everyone’s pretty pumped to get into the season.”

Pepper, along with Jen Pilon and Kelsey Thompson, form the leadership corps of the women’s team, as all three are returning vet-erans from last year.

While the games themselves will be tough, the whole trip in itself—four games in as many nights—will test the body and the mind.

“There’s not much I can really do—it all de-

pends on them, and each player is different,” said women’s head coach Agata Bendkows-ka. “Some struggle still, some of them are al-ready good to go. I think that time is the right an-swer, they just need ex-perience and time and as many playing situa-tions as they can possi-bly get, to get over the first-year nerves.”

While the road trips can be a strain on the players, it helps towards team bonding, said Pilon.

“It’s hard. It’s a long time to be away, and homework-wise and school-wise, you got to prepare well in advance,” she said. “But it’s fun too, the trips is when our team really comes to-gether and we really get to know each other and bond.”

Pepper added that it’s important to take care of the body with proper nutrition and rest.

“You have to look after yourself and you have to figure out what you need per game to be

mentally and physically prepared, so this will be a good experience and hopefully we can suc-ceed.”

With more than a few first-year players on the team, it will be a chal-lenge to see how they adapt to their first expe-rience on the road at the college level.

However, Bendkows-ka feels that they’re ready.

“I think that, working so hard from the end of August and having those two tournaments, I feel like the girls are definite-ly ready, and they can-not wait for the first game, but at the same time they are very scared,” Bendkowska said. “They know, and I can feel, that the pres-sure is huge.

“…I’m hoping that we can fight that anxiety, fight that pressure and go there and play well and come back with some wins.”

Though this is the first Pacwest league matches, the team has refined their game through two exhibition tournaments at home and in Red Deer.

Focusing on their own game and their own needs within the match-es will be key to victory, said Thompson.

“We just have to play simple volleyball. If we can keep our game, it doesn’t matter what they do, we can play with the best of them right now,” said Thompson. “We’re strong enough hitters, defence-wise too, we can play with them all.”

“We just have to play simple volleyball. If

we can keep our game, it doesn’t

matter what they do, we can play with the

best of them right now.”

Boston earns 1-0 win over Detriot for AL series lead

NOAH TRISTERAssociated Press

DETROIT - Once again this October, one run was enough.

The Boston Red Sox scored it - and now they lead an AL championship series that seemed to be slipping away last weekend.

John Lackey edged Justin Verlander in the latest duel of these pitching-rich playoffs, and Boston’s bullpen shut down Detroit’s big boppers with the game on the line to lift the Red Sox over the Tigers 1-0 Tuesday for a 2-1 advan-tage in the ALCS.

Mike Napoli homered off Verlander in the seventh in-ning, and Detroit’s best chance to rally fell short in the eighth when Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder struck out with runners at the corners.

“This game had the feel it was going to be won or lost on one pitch,” Boston reliever Craig Breslow said. “Lackey kept us in the game. Every in-ning where he was able to throw up a zero gave us a lift.”

Despite three straight gems by their starters, the Tigers suddenly trail in a best-of-sev-en series they initially ap-

peared to control. Game 4 is Wednesday night at Comerica Park, with Jake Peavy sched-uled to start for the Red Sox against Doug Fister.

Peavy set the tone Tuesday during a pregame news con-ference, when he sounded miffed that so much of the at-tention was focused on Ver-lander before Game 3.

“It’s been funny for me to watch all the coverage of the game coming in,” Peavy said. “Almost like we didn’t have a starter going today. Our starter is pretty good, too.”

Lackey backed that up and

then some.He allowed four hits in 6

2-3 innings, striking out eight without a walk in a game that was delayed 17 minutes in the second inning because lights on the stadium towers went out.

“I think that little time off gave him a chance to slow down a little bit. He was excit-ed and pumped that first in-ning,” Boston catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. “Kind of getting excited with his slider, throwing a little too hard and leaving it over the middle, but he was still pretty effective.”

daily townsman / daily Bulletin

Dear Annie: I have been in a relationship with a wonderful guy for a year. We are in our mid-20s. Both of us are interested in moving abroad in the near future.

When we started dating, we just wanted to have fun. I have since graduated and am currently working. He is also a graduate, but has yet to find a job. The problem is, I have begun to really care for him and want to change our status from “just dating” to “in a relationship.” However, he still doesn’t want to take that step. He says it’s because he hasn’t started his career yet. He also thinks we are too young to be thinking about mar-riage, and I agree with that. I’m not interest-ed in marrying in the next few years, but I do want to be in a relationship with someone for a few years before I start thinking about marriage.

This has left me wondering whether I should take it down a notch and enjoy what-ever time we have left together, or walk away. -- Confused and Sad

Dear Confused: If you’ve been dating for a year, you are already “in a relationship” whether he acknowledges it or not. He be-lieves making it official is akin to a pre-en-gagement, and he’s not ready for that. If you enjoy being with him, feel free to continue and use the time to “start thinking about marriage.” Relationships don’t come with guarantees. Only time will help you decide. But until there is a commitment in place, we suggest that you not build your choices around his. Do whatever is best for YOU.

Dear Annie: Several years ago, I was cut out of the life of a family member I had previously been close to. No explanation, nothing. Suddenly I’m persona non grata. I tried to talk to her and asked what I had done. I told her that if she would just discuss it with me, I would apologize, if necessary, although I won’t apologize for something I don’t know I’ve done.

I just found out that this person is now a grandmother. I posted a congratulatory message on her Facebook page, and now I’m blocked. When the rift occurred, I asked my parents to intervene and find out what was wrong. They refused, saying they didn’t want to get involved. I asked my ex-friend’s par-ents and was told it wasn’t any of their busi-ness. I tried writing this person and asking for an explanation. No response.

I no longer care to reconcile, but I would still like an explanation. -- Too Late To Try Again

Dear Too: We’re sorry you have been stonewalled, but this is not uncommon. Of course, it would be nice if she would tell you why you’ve been cut off, giving you the opportunity to explain or apologize. And there is nothing wrong with giving a blanket apology, not necessarily for wrongdoing, but for somehow damaging the relationship, even unintentionally. But too many people believe that spelling out the reason would be more damaging than silence, or they may subscribe to the mind-reading school, thinking you should “know” the reason. The fact that no other person will intercede on your behalf indicates there is little hope of reconciliation or of finding the explanation you desire. Accept it and move on.

Dear Annie: Tell “Trying To Get Granny To Shower” that for around $200, Granny’s bathtub can be made safe and easy. A show-er seat is just the beginning. Add a hose ex-tension to the showerhead so she can direct the flow where she wants it and not have water get in her face. Then install a pole that extends from floor to ceiling just outside the tub so she can hold on as she gets in and out. I ordered mine through a well-known drug-store. -- Marsha, Age 76

Tonight: Surprise a loved one!TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Use the daylight hours to the max, when you feel as if you can get past a problem. Laughter surrounds an impending deci-sion that could allow greater flow in your communication. Resist the urge to second guess someone else. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)You want to make a good im-pression, but how you do that will be very important. Recog-nize who you want to impress, and determine the reason why. You will make stronger deci-sions once you recognize what is going on within yourself. To-

night: Make a big splash.CANCER (June 21-July 22)Reach out for more informa-tion. At some point during the day, you will decide that you have enough feedback and can back off. Express your caring for someone by giving him or her a token of your affection. Listen to a heartfelt suggestion. Tonight: Have a long-overdue talk.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Come to a mutual understand-ing with a partner. You will need to tap into your instincts if someone is not being very clear in a discussion. A surprising action or situation could throw you into limbo for a little while. Once you land, think outside the box. Tonight: Buy tickets to a play.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You might come off far more assertive than you have in a while. Some people will acqui-esce, whereas others will be more dominant. You could see these behaviors manifesting as early as today. Make time for an important talk. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Let someone else share more of what he or she feels. Know that it is important to listen. You could be quite frustrated when dealing with this person on a regular basis. Nevertheless, you will be able to change this dynamic in the near future. To-night: Accept an invitation.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You could make all the dif-ference in what happens. The choice is yours whether you should invest more energy and creativity into a situation or project. If you do, others will ap-preciate your efforts. Why hold back? Tonight: Share more with a loved one.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Holding back might feel right for a while, but knowing when to suspend that behavior this afternoon will be important. Your imagination and intellect merge, which allows you to have more options. Tonight: Know when to let your hair down.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Speak your mind with the full expectation of being heard loud and clear. Your reception has

much to do with your presence. Encourage others to exchange ideas. Check out an investment with care, especially if it will affect your home life. Tonight: Relax at home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You won’t be comfortable with a financial matter, yet you still might consider giving the OK to proceed. Don’t. Use your strong intuition to hold off on giving your support for now. Be open up to a wild option that pops up. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Your strong personality melts barriers and allows greater give-and-take. Your caring opens up others, especially a child or new friend. You will discover that this person is more emotional than you are! Tonight: Accept someone’s sur-prising gesture.
