Baking and vegetable growing will soon take centre stage as the Rossland Fall Fair which runs alongside Golden City Days approaches.

Saturday Sept. 8 is the day the Fall Fair will be unleashing its golden good-ness on the Golden City.

The fair is known for its competitions in baking and vegetable growing, as well as great activities for the kids.

“I’d like to encourage people to enter things they’ve grown in their garden or crafts they or their children have done,” said organizer Ursula Stephens.

UNIFYING IT ALL

BY BREANNE MASSEYTimes Staff

John and Lisa Sloot dreamt about raising their children in a small com-munity, but shortly after moving to Castlegar, the family was jilted by kidney disease—twice.

The dream of living in a close-knit community came with a hefty price—commuting to Vancouver and Calgary more than 30 times for their son Ken’s treatments after he was diagnosed with kidney disease.

“It’s not just the cost of going down there,” said John at the Kidney Walk in Gyro Park on Sunday mor-ning, “there’s the cost of a hotel and it’s hard on the kids while they were young. They would get car-sick on the way down.”

The Sloot’s small town dream quickly turned into a nightmare.

In May of 2000 Ken was hospital-ized for appendicitis and his blood work showed that of someone in his

senior years. Through the Alberta Children’s Hospital Ken was diag-nosed with chronic renal failure, or more specifically, juvenile nephron-ophthisis.

A childhood genetic kidney dis-ease in which there is progressive, symmetrical destruction of the kid-neys—characteristically resulting in anemia, polyuria, polydipsia, a decreased ability to concentrate urine, progressive renal failure and death in uremia.

Chronic kidney failure affects growth and leads to short stature and possibly premature death.

When Ken was 12 Lisa donated her kidney to him, but it failed with-out warning after eight years and resulted in dialysis treatments.

The Trail Kidney Walk earned 81 per cent of their $15,000 goal before the day had passed.

More than 60 people attended the 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. fundraiser in Gyro Park on Sunday.

And they came from all over the West Kootenay.

“The West Kootenay is a large region so we have to pick one physical, geographical spot to have this walk,” explained event coordinator Laura Farnsworth.

BY WILLA CONDYSpecial to Trail Daily TimesWhen Owen Condy-Page

was born March 3 things looked bright for him and twin sister Serenity.

His mother, Angela Condy, was proud of the two new-est members of her family. A single mother, Angela did not have much money but she had enough love for her three young children.

On May 14 Angela’s world went out of control. Fighting meningitis, Owen had to be airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. It took over 10 days to get the seizures that wracked Owen’s body under control. At two months of age Owen was in the fight of his life.

When Owen’s seizures were under control the Castlegar mother took a deep sigh of relief. It was then the doctors started giving her the rest of the bad news: Owen had suf-fered brain damage and the doctors did not know what quality of life her baby would have. They were not sure if he would be able to breath with-out a respirator.

The brain damage affected his swallowing reflex. Owen was being fed through a tube into his stomach. The doctors doubted if he could hear or see.

Owen kept on breathing when he was taken off the respirator June 6. He amazed the doctors with his fighting spirit. Owen has lost most of his hearing and may end up having Cochlear Implants.

Owen improved and was moved, first to Sunnyhill Hospital in Vancouver for rehabilitation, and on July 20 he and his mother came home to Castlegar where they live with Tony and Rose Gourlart, Condy’s parents. He will start

therapy in Castlegar and will be fitted for hearing aids in the near future.

Owen is a fighter but even fighters need some help. He will need ongoing therapy and will have to continue to go down to Vancouver for check-ups to monitor his progress.

Enter Owen’s Angels, a group of family and friends who wanted to try to raise some of the money needed to help Owen reach his poten-tial.

On June 4 Crystin Merwin and crew had a garage sale at Kootenay Family Place. Jars were placed in some Castlegar business to help the young family.

Owen has grandparents in Saskatchewan as well, and they stepped up to help, hold-ing a steak supper fundraiser on July 14 to help.

“I can’t get over how many people stepped to help,” said Sheila Seymour, Owen’s great-grandmother.

Other people wanted to lend a hand and the fundrais-ing spread to the Greater Trail area as well. Another Owen’s Angels was formed and decid-ed to hold a raffle.

Thanks to some very gener-ous donors prizes were assem-bled for a raffle to help Owen.

First and second prize are Encore Voucher round trip tick-ets from Trail to Vancouver, courtesy of Pacific Coastal Airlines.

Third prize is a hand carved paddle by Haida artist Don Pongracz, a former resident of Castlegar.

Fourth prize is a ball chair and assorted massage supply package courtesy of Joanna Linardis, RMT. Fifth prize a $250 gift package donated by Pets Needs Plus.

The giving did not stop there, as Hall’s Printing stepped up to donate the cost of print-ing the tickets.

“This area has the most gen-erous heart,” said Seymour.

All funds raised from the raf-fle will go into a trust account to help Owen.

Tickets are $2 each or three for $5. The draw date is Sept. 4.

Currently, tickets are on sale at Pet Needs Plus in Trail, TeeJays in Castlegat, at Teck Trail Operations and at Local 480 Hall in Trail.

Volunteers will also be sell-ing tickets at other locations in Trail, Castlegar and Nelson.

If you just want to make a donation, they can be made to Owen Condy-Page trust account KSCU Trail Branch Masterplan Account 1415793.

It was a knell to the art culture of Rossland when news the Rouge Gallery would be closing at the end of August.

A series of events led to the decision to close the gallery, said its owner Roberta Post.

She cited a reduction in the number of mem-bers, the cost of operation versus the income gen-erated, and the ongoing construction as factors in the decision to clsoe.

“Eventually, it seemed that closing was the most realistic decision,” she said.

Post noted the Rouge Gallery had a history in the community that spanned almost eight years.

The Rouge began in 2005 with an idea from Louise Drescher, who gathered together several other local artists and opened a gallery at the Old Firehall, prior to it being developed into condo-miniums and a wine bar.

Post said this was a successful venture. They hosted exhibitions of local professional artists, and used the space for other public events such as children’s art shows, district high schools’ art shows, the Best of the Basin art show, and various fundraisers for the community.

These ventures were handled by dedicated vol-unteers, Post explained, and it was through their work the gallery succeeded.

“Following that, the members opened a gallery in the store that is currently occupied by the knit-ting/wool store, and again it was very successful due to the dedication of the volunteers,” she said.

The gallery continued in that location until September 2010, when a majority of the gallery members voted to take the opportunity presented to them to move to the old Bank of Montreal main floor space.

Lisa and John Sloot tell their story to the crowd assembled at Sunday’s Kidney Walk in Gyro Park.

FROM PAGE 1 John was not the

correct match to donate another kidney to Ken.

However, a trial exchange program being offered by the Canadian Blood Services in Alberta, a program for anonym-ous donors who have entered the registry unpaired and are will-ing to donate to anyone in need.

He signed up immedi-ately and was the first applicant to register for the program—allowing John to donate a kidney to a family in exchange for a family who could give their son a match-ing donation in Ottawa. John was one of eight participants in the exchange.

According to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, only 17 per cent of British Columbians have registered to be organ donors.

Unfortunately, the day the Sloot’s left for Ottawa, they discov-ered their youngest son also suffered from the disease.

When asked what people needed to know about coping with the ramifications of kidney

disease, John said to never give up hope.

He went on to explain how dramat-ically the technology changed for surgeries and treatments within a mere eight years.

When Lisa initially donated a kidney to her son, she was cut “from front-to-back” and had her “ribs removed.”

“I was in so much pain,” she explained, while John described a markedly different experience.

His surgery was rela-tively quick and pain-less, in comparison to his wife’s.

John recovered in no time.

However, the family’s struggle is ongoing. They remain upbeat about the advan-ces in medical science.

Anyone with a kid-ney transplant in B.C. must commute to Vancouver for surgery and stay there for two months after the trans-plant for follow up clin-ic visits.

To ease the finan-cial burden, the Kidney Foundation offers four furnished suites in Vancouver for patients, depending on eligibil-

ROSSLAND

ity, for free or $25 per night.

Things like support

groups, public events and financial aid pro-grams give the Sloots

help their nightmare will become nothing more than a dream.

Kidney disease kept family travelling, searching

FROM PAGE 1The day began with a pancake

breakfast, an event Farnsworth planned for people suffering from mobility issues.

“There are all kinds of people here, some people came here because their neighbour is on dialysis and others are here because their sister had a trans-plant,” Farnsworth said. “(People) can continue by coming here and fighting.”

There were 2.5- and five-kilometre walks in Greater Trail geared to raise awareness about the debilitating disease. Some walked from Gyro conces-sion along riverside sidewalk to Bingay Bay Park in Sunningdale and returned the same way.

While others went from the concession to Bingay Bay, then along Hazelwood Drive and looped around Marianna Crescent, down Hillside Drive and back to Bingay Bay and the Gyro concession stand.

The kidney walk symbol-ized a common cause and raised awareness about the importance of organ donations. The Safeway pharmacy provided free blood pressure tests, a major risk of kid-

ney disease.“The weather has been glori-

ous,” she said, “we couldn’t have asked for better weather and the spirit here has been palpable.”

The event continued with a silent auction to raise money for people who use programs offered through the B.C. branch of the Kidney Foundation. In addition, Lisa Sloot performed a Cree song about healing and taught people how to drum.

Sloot and her husband John attended the event as this year’s walk honourees from Castlegar. The couple spoke out about the hurdles of kidney disease.

Walk nears fundraising goal

FROM PAGE 1 “It’s through everybody participating in our

fair that we enjoy that sense of community that Rossland is known for.”

She said all the usual events will be there, with a few added things. Competitions, children’s events, the flowers, the vegetables and the baking and more.

They have also added some sewing categories for the kids, because of interest shown from kids last year. Kids knitting and crocheting were also added.

In the food and drink category, the beer and wine competition has been eliminated. This year they changed some of the quantities of the entries in the baking portion.

The fair will have a number of regular booths as well as some new information booths. The Rossland Museum, the 4H club, Kootenay Columbia Trails Society and Friends of the Rossland Range will all be represented at the Fall Fair.

Entries will be taken on Friday Sept. 7 from noon until 7 p.m. Judging is Saturday morning. Doors are open to the public following the parade until 6 p.m.

Brochures can be found at various locations throughout Rossland.

• Getting dialysis treatment costs $50,000 annually but a one-time cost of a kidney transplant provin-cially is roughly $20,000, with an additionally yearly cost of $6,000 for anti-rejection medications.• In B.C., 25 per cent of people waiting for an extra-renal trans-plant die on the waiting list.• Each year, less than one per cent of all deaths in B.C. result in potential solid organ donation.• There are more than 400 people awaiting a transplant is B.C. and 240,000 people unknowingly living with kidney disease.

Coast Guard closures

Individuals who want to keep the coast guard station in Kitsilano open will hold a rally today in Vancouver’s Vanier Park. Union officials say the event will begin at 1 p.m. and will feature speeches from the leaders of the provincial New Democrats and Green Party.

The federal government announced the sta-tion’s closure in May, saying calls can be cov-ered by the coast guard station at Vancouver International Airport. The Kitsilano station responds to about 300 calls each year, and one former commander says the closure will put lives in danger.

Marine centre anniversary

A marine science centre on the west coast of Vancouver Island is going ahead with plans to celebrate its 40th anniversary despite some budget cuts. Director Brad Anholt says the Bamfield facil-ity has been a leading research and education institution since it began operating 40 years ago.

But earlier this year, it lost 484-thousand dol-lars in funding when the federal government cut grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. Anniversary celebrations will take place September 1st and 2nd, and Anholt says they’ll help people reflect on past accom-plishments and also help map the future.

Water bomber leaving

A well-known water bomber used to battle forest fires around the province for more than 50 years will be heading south of the border to serve as a tourist attraction.

The Coulson Group of Port Alberni says the Philippine Mars is heading to the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida.

Wayne Coulson says the airplane hasn’t flown in five years, continues to deteriorate, and can’t serve a niche firefighting market. He says another water bomber, the Hawaii Mars, will remain in Port Alberni on contract to the province.

Maple Ridge mill destroyed

Authorities are investigating after a fire burned down the Waldun Forest Products mill in Ruskin, just east of Maple Ridge.

Assistant Fire Chief Mark Smitton of the Maple Ridge Fire Department said the first calls about the blaze came in just after midnight Sunday. He says there was a security guard at the mill when the fire broke out, but the guard was not in the building. About 30 firefighters helped put the flames out.

Enbridge Inc.’s response plan for a potential spill of Northern Gateway oil into the pristine wat-ers off British Columbia doesn’t take into account the unique oil mixture the pipeline would actually carry, documents show.

Enbridge offi-cials confirm the spill response plan they have filed with the federal review panel studying the pipeline proposal deals with conventional crude, not specifically the diluted bitumen the pipeline will carry.

But Enbridge says the two react the same way once spilled.

However, docu-ments obtained under access to information show a scientist at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans argued vig-

orously for a chance to do more research.

Kenneth Lee submit-ted a research proposal last December saying the matter requires further study because Enbridge’s plan had “strong limitations due to inaccurate inputs.”

“The Northern Gateway pipeline pro-posal lacks key infor-mation on the chem-ical composition of the reference oils used in the hypothetical spill models,” wrote Lee, head of DFO’s Centre for Offshore Oil Gas and Energy Research, or COOGER.

Lee sought approv-al to conduct a series of studies through to 2015, when final tests on the “toxic effects of reference oils to marine species” would be com-pleted.

That deadline sug-gests the results would

come too late for the Northern Gateway review panel as it reviews the environ-mental impact of the pipeline. Its hearings end next April and the panel reports back to government by the end of next year.

Lee noted his research would also be used by the Canadian Coast Guard, the agency that would be in charge of overseeing a spill into Canada’s waters.

He wrote the Coast Guard is “uncertain” whether traditional methods to contain an oil spill and clear con-taminated water would be effective if deployed in a Northern Gateway spill.

The Fisheries Department did not respond to questions about whether Lee’s group was given the

go-ahead to do the research.

Lee was informed this spring that his job and the research cen-tre he runs is at risk of being eliminated as a result of federal budget cuts.

Reached by phone, Lee said he was not authorized to com-ment on the proposal but confirmed that he and his staff have been notified their positions are on a list of positions that could be cut.

Lee is an inter-nationally renowned expert on oil spills and was tapped last year to join a U.S. scientific committee studying the aftermath of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Northern Gateway’s twin pipelines would carry natural gas con-densate to Alberta and diluted oilsands bitu-men to Kitimat, where it would be transferred to tankers for export.

Opinions differ on whether a spill of diluted bitumen would react so dramatically differently from spills of other crudes.

Bitumen is oil extracted from oil

sands. It’s thick and heavy like molasses, though a diluted ver-sion is what would be moved through the Enbridge pipeline if the $6-billion project gets approved.

That’s about all every-one - including Calgary-based Enbridge, the B.C. government, pipe-line engineers, spill response experts and environmentalists - can agree on.

What they cannot agree on is whether characteristics believed to be associated with diluted bitumen - also known as dilbit - lead to higher risks of pipe-line fractures and con-sequently, oil spills.

There is also no agreement on wheth-er diluted bitumen behaves differently in water than convention-al crude oil once it is spilled.

Ray Doering, man-ager of engineering with the Northern Gateway project, and Elliott Taylor, one of the com-pany’s oil spill experts, said a combination of factors, over time, will prompt diluted bitu-men to get denser.

THE CANADIAN PRESSGATINEAU, Que. -

Quebec Premier Jean Charest is hammering away at a familiar theme today: the Liberal Party is the only choice for those who want eco-nomic stability.

Charest says the Parti Quebecois or Coalition for Quebec’s Future wouldn’t help improve trade relations with other provinces or the United States.

He says it’s up to voters to decide in the Sept. 4 election if they want the instability brought on by another sovereignty referendum.

Coalition Leader Francois Legault is cam-paigning in the same part of western Quebec as Charest - traditionally a Liberal stronghold.

Legault says voters in the predominantly feder-alist area feel neglected by Charest and are ready for a change.

Meanwhile, Parti Quebecois Leader Pauline Marois, who is leading in the polls, appealed to all progressive voters to help get her a majority mandate.

Marois is trying to avoid losing support at the hands of smaller parties such as the hardline sovereigntist Option nationale and the social-democratic Quebec solidaire.

But she was forced to backtrack earlier Sunday after suggesting, in response to two questions from reporter, that conservative-minded sover-eigntists should look elsewhere than the PQ.

A little over an hour later, she called repor-ters back to clarify, and encouraged right-leaning sovereigntists to vote for her party.

“I have one thing to say to conservative sover-eigntists,” she said. “The Parti Quebecois has always run the province in a responsible man-ner.”

EDMONTON - Regulatory documents indicate federal scientists still have sig-nificant concerns over Shell’s proposed Jackpine oilsands mine expansion even as the project heads into public hearings.

Five years after Shell Canada first pro-posed the 100,000-barrel-a-day project, it has been finally scheduled to go before a joint federal-provincial environmental hearing Oct. 29.

In their final submissions to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, several federal departments say they still have questions about Shell’s plans.

They include how growth in the indus-try has outpaced the company’s assess-ment of cumulative effects, how changing flow in the Athabasca River will affect contaminant levels and how well Shell is able to control effluent from artificial lakes that will be used to store tailings.

“Several matters will require further discussion to fully understand potential project affects (sic) and ensure suitable

mitigation can be implemented,” says an Aug. 2 letter from Environment Canada.

Shell’s Aug. 13 response acknowledg-es the concerns.

“Shell is fully prepared to respond to any questions identified by the interven-ers at the hearing,” says a letter signed by Donald Crowe, the company’s regulatory manager.

Crowe points out the company has already filed 18,000 pages of evidence -“unprecedented in scope and detail.”

The expansion, about 70 kilometres north of Fort McMurray on the east side of the Athabasca River, would bring Shell’s total production at its Jackpine facilities to about 300,000 barrels a day. The plan is to mine new areas and con-struct processing facilities, utilities and infrastructure.

The oilsands industry in northern Alberta has mushroomed since the expan-sion was first proposed and now includes 11 new projects that have either been publicly announced or are before regula-tors.

It’s a growing industrial load that

is of increasing concern to scientists at Environment Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

Shell has failed to look at the overall picture of how total development has already affected wildlife habitat, let alone the impacts of further expansions, says Environment Canada.

Its document goes on to say that where those impacts are measured, Shell’s assessment minimizes them. For example, Shell says the amount of high-quality caribou habitat destroyed is of “low magnitude,” even though the com-pany acknowledges the amount of those losses total about 40 per cent.

“It is unclear how Shell Canada defines a 40 per cent loss ... as a low-magnitude effect,” Environment Canada says.

The same department expressed con-cern about Shell’s plans to store tailings for decades in artificial lakes capped with clean water.

Shell’s tests didn’t examine what might happen as various chemicals come in con-tact with one another. As well, the tests were based on short-term exposures.

OTTAWA - Most of the toxic Bisphenol A contained in products Canadians use every day is either destroyed or winds up in landfills, says a new study for Environment Canada.

The finding helps to allay concerns that BPA, which mimics the hormone estrogen, per-sists for long periods in the environment - but critics say the study should not stall efforts to eliminate the chem-ical altogether.

“A large portion of the BPA that is esti-mated consumed in Canada is actually reacted/destroyed dur-ing its service life,” says the $44,000 research report by Cheminfo Services Inc.

The study sug-gests between 44 per

cent and 68 per cent of the BPA consumed in Canada in 2010 was destroyed in the use of products, such as the epoxy coatings often used to line the inside of food cans.

Another 24 per cent to 43 per cent went into landfills, while less than 14 per cent was released, recycled, incinerated or found its way into sludge.

The preliminary review of 12 Canadian sectors that use BPA, dated March 26 this year, was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.

The Harper govern-ment has been a global leader in efforts to limit exposure to BPA, ban-ning the chemical from polycarbonate baby bottles in 2008 after studies demonstrated

some leaching into the fluid. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued its own baby-bottle BPA ban only last month.

And in late 2010, the substance was added to an official list of toxic substances in Canada. Environment Canada since April this year has also required key industries to develop mitigation plans to reduce the amount of BPA they release into the environment.

The Cheminfo study cautions that more study is needed to ver-ify the initial research, which focused on a range of products in the Canadian market-place, including brake fluids, tires and clean-ing products.

The findings won praise from E n v i r o n m e n t a l

Defence, a Toronto-based non-profit group, which has been pressing government and indus-try to eventually elimin-ate use of all BPA.

Some Canadian retailers, such as Mountain Equipment Co-op and Lululemon, have voluntar-ily removed BPA-containing water bot-tles from their shelves. Some firms have also adopted BPA-free manufacturing process-es to respond to con-sumer concerns.

A spokeswoman for Environment Canada said the department has a program to mon-

itor whether the large amount of BPA that enters landfills is escap-ing.

The report by Cheminfo, a Markham, Ont.-based technical consultant, highlights the use of BPA in so-called thermal papers, that is, coated sheets and rolls that are heat sensitive and used to print sales receipts, labels, airline boarding passes and lottery tick-ets. Most of Canada’s used thermal paper - with its resident BPA - winds up in landfills, although an estimated 30 per cent is recycled, according to the study.

OPINION

South Africa: The politics of massacre

Forty-eight hours after South African police killed 34 striking min-

ers last Thursday (16 August), Julius Malema showed up at the Lonmin platinum mine north of Johannesburg to assign the blame.

“President Zuma said to the police they must act with maximum force,” Malema told a crowd of thousands of miners. “He presided over the murder of our people and therefore he must step down....From today, when you are asked ‘Who is your president?’, you must say ‘I don’t have a president’.”

President Jacob Zuma was in Mozambique when the slaughter happened, and is unlikely to have given the police instruc-tions on dealing with a local strike. But profession-al demagogues don’t have to worry about the details, and Malema was funda-mentally right in what he said next.

“Zuma doesn’t care about the mineworkers, he came here last night and met with whites,” Malema said. “It’s not the white British (mine-owners) who were killed. It was you.” And in a final slap at the governing African National Congress (from which he was recently expelled):

“They only come to you when it’s time for elections. Once you put that cross, they disappear.”

Julius Malema fills the same role in today’s South Africa that Winnie Mandela did in the dying days of apartheid in the early 1990s: the radical dema-gogue who uses violent, often anti-white invective to articulate the rage of the impoverished black major-ity.

This terrifies South Africans who have some-thing to lose, black and white alike.

Malema preaches hatred of the rich and hints at social revolution. The fact that he has become mys-teriously rich himself at the age of 31, although his only jobs were as an official of the ANC Youth League, doesn’t bother his millions of admirers at all. They just want to see a real redis-tribution of the country’s

wealth in their favour, and they think Malema is their best bet.

They are probably wrong. Malema is ruthless and cunning enough to have a chance at winning power some time towards the end of this decade, when the ANC’s political near-monopoly finally col-lapses.

But he is not skilled enough, and perhaps not even clever enough, to push through that sort of redistri-bution without destroying South Africa’s industrial economy in the process. Nevertheless, many of the poor feel they have nowhere else to turn.

It is now 18 years since the fall of apartheid, and a substantial class of prosper-ous middle-class blacks has emerged (together with a small group of very rich people with close links to the ANC).

However, the poor majority remain desper-ately poor, and they no longer trust the ANC to bring positive change in their lives. They are starting to defect politically, and the main battle is being fought on the territory of the trade unions.

Mining is South Africa’s biggest industry, and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is the country’s biggest union. It

is closely tied to the ANC, but many believe that it is also in bed with the bosses. Cyril Ramaphosa (who chaired the ANC’s disciplin-ary appeals committee that expelled Malema from the ANC early this year) was the founder of the NUM 30 years ago, but now he is on Lonmin’s board.

The Lonmin strike is actually a turf war. The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (ACMU), a new, radical union, has been stealing the members of the National Union of Mineworkers, including three or four thousand of the 26,000 men working in Lonmin’s platinum mine.

ACMU promised to triple the workers’ wages, and the violence began when it tried to stop NUM members from going to work.

Ten people were killed in clashes between the two unions in mid-August, including two police who were hacked to death with pangas (machetes).

So the police were understandably nervous last week when they faced an angry mob of about 3,000 workers armed with pangas, spears and clubs.

Unleashing a torrent of automatic fire that killed 34 strikers and wounded 78 was an act of gross indisci-pline, but frightened men,

even if they have far better weapons, will not always respond in a measured and disciplined way when they are under attack. The reflex, unfortunately, is to hold the trigger down and spray the threat with bul-lets.

Nobody wanted this tragedy to occur, and it is unlikely to happen again in the same way.

Jacob Zuma will still probably be re-elected as the leader of the ANC in December and go on to a second term as president.

There will be a commis-sion of inquiry, and judges will reach conclusions and make recommendations.

But the main political beneficiaries of the incident are the forces that are try-ing to loosen the grip of the ANC’s old guard on the unions and the country.

It has been a very auspi-cious occasion for Julius Malema, who is trying to position himself as the only real alternative to Zuma and the gang.

Some time later in the decade, the Lonmin mas-sacre may come to be seen as a turning point in South Africa’s history. Or not, because history does not run on rails.

To the Editor:I see that NDP MP Alex

Atamanenko is at it again (Boundary change proposal raises political ire, Aug.24).

This time he has contacted local municipal councils to engage their support to essen-tially keep him and the NDP in power in this riding. He seems that worried.

When councillor Kathy Moore states that she’s “con-cerned that our issues and rural concerns are going to get lost in the shuffle” she presumes that our voice is currently heard in Ottawa. That’s too funny.

Atamanenko has been elected NDP MP long enough that you would think his new leader, Montreal’s Thomas Mulcair, would have given him an important position in the shadow cabinet. Mulcair did not. Although, maybe now he will, so, keep a watching brief

on this as we move towards the next federal election.

Don’t let Atamanenko’s “peacenik” image mask the fact that he is a media-savvy politician who wants to be re-elected.

For those who support eco-nomic development and wish less reliance on government control in our daily lives, we would like to at least have a fighting chance to elect some-one from another political party.

With the stranglehold Atamanenko has in this riding, there isn’t much point in even showing up to vote. However, a change in riding boundaries allows non NDP voters to par-ticipate more fully; even to the point of having a real election race.

The NDP is all about buzz-words such as “proportional representation”. But, just try

making this riding a more level playing field. What you get instead is a strong reaction and media campaign from the NDP MP to keep the riding for him-self and his “hippie” ideology.

Isn’t time to rethink the party of perpetual protest for one that creates new private sector jobs?

In recent memory, this rid-ing elected one person who was actually part of a governing party. That man was PC MP Bob Briscoe. One in a hundred years?

So, if Penticton hasn’t been a part of the riding for a hun-dred years, maybe it’s time for a change.

Because, what we have now isn’t working for many of us who would like to see a more diversified economy capable of creating new jobs for our chil-dren and grandchildren.

Rose CalderonTrail

To the Editor:A recent article (City solves boulevard of bro-

ken dreams) reported that the City of Rossland is considering the closure and sale of part of Second Avenue.

The resident who built a garage on City prop-erty has applied for a development variance per-mit and the closure and sale of the portion of the road that his garage was built on. Council, with concerns expressed by some council members, agreed to proceed with the request.

The councillors who expressed concerns about this error on the City’s part should be very cau-tious. In early 2011, when I pointed out that the City’s former building inspector had issued a building permit for the construction of the garage in contravention of City policies and bylaws, and provincial legislation, Rossland CAO Victor Kumar jumped to the defence of the building inspector and accused me of harassing staff. Current councillors may suffer the same fate for expressing those concerns.

Kumar claimed at the time that the construc-

tion of the garage was in line with City policy. However, the policy he cited was not relevant to the issue. But council bought the story, ignored the fact the garage encroached on the City road allowance, ignored the fact that no variance had been granted to allow the garage to be built with-in the setbacks established by the zoning bylaw, and chose not to take any action.

The homeowner, who constructed the garage in good faith, was surprised to learn that the garage unlawfully encroached on City property. The owner, based on information provided by the City, felt that he had done the right thing even though no variance permits or easements were authorized prior to construction of the garage. He has obviously had a change of heart. Perhaps he talked to a lawyer or real estate agent and real-ized the problem he had on his hands.

The chickens have come home to roost on this issue. The building inspector who issued the improper building permit is long gone. It’s too bad the City is left to deal with the mess created.

OBITUARIES

BY VICTORIA AHEARNTHE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - As he reflects on the past with a new collection of mostly older tunes, legendary pop-folk singer-song-writer Art Garfunkel is also wrestling with his musical future.

The harmonizing master of Simon & Garfunkel and solo-artist fame, who releases the two-CD retrospective collec-tion “The Singer” on Tuesday, has battled vocal cord paresis for about two years now and took a break from performing live until recently.

And though the six-time Grammy Award winner says he’s “95 per cent” healed, he’s unsure of what will happen with his music career.

“I was nervous in Williamstown, (Mass.,) was it three nights ago or four nights ago, the first show in quite a while,” Garfunkel said in a recent tele-phone interview from Northern Greece, one of several stops on his ongoing, years-long “walk across Europe.”

“But it’s all going to be OK, I feel it in the bones. I will corral this experience and triumph.”

The recovery of the 70-year-old’s belov-ed dulcet tones aren’t his only obstacle to entering the studio and recording a full-length album of new tunes, though.

“I don’t know what comes next,” said the New York native, who is also a Golden Globe-nominated actor and a poet. “For me, as a singer, I’m only now just last week getting back onstage and trusting that I can sing again. So beyond stage comes recording. Recording is skittish for people like me. How do you get paid?

How do you track it? There’s no charts anymore. How do you know if people like it? What’s the form? Radio is dead.

“So I am nervous about going into the recording studio. What if I get pas-sionately involved in making what I call a masterpiece and the world receives it as: ‘We have no room for masterpiece, the concept is dead’?”

Garfunkel also longs for the days of analogue and pre-piracy.

“I must say the whole idea of recording in the studio, which was the fun of craft-ing it and singing in private and being shy but being a perfectionist, it ruled my life until the age of digital. And when I saw ‘The Social Network,’ that movie, I had to leave the theatre because it’s all about theft, Napster,” he said.

“If somebody does something and somebody else likes it, just take it, never-mind the copyright, it’s all owned by the people. This is terrible for people like us who love the old days of vinyl, where you made a thing with a beginning, a middle and an end.”

With “The Singer,” Garfunkel went great pains to make sure each song would flow perfectly into the next, and he’s hoping fans will listen to the tunes in sequence.

The 34-song collection, which he put together himself, includes his solo work as well as tracks from his Simon & Garfunkel years. The project also has two new songs - “Lena” and “Long Way Home” - as well as his personal notes on each tune.

Garfunkel said “it was a delight” choosing the titles, which include “The Sound Of Silence,” “I Only Have Eyes For

You,” “Scarborough Fair/Canticle,” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water” (from the heralded 1970 album that led to his first breakup with onetime musical partner Paul Simon).

Through the song-selection process, “I gained a certain self-respect like I have never known for myself,” he noted.

“Self-respect, man. I really got a kick out of some of my performances. I did my job good. I don’t listen to past work often. When I’m making it, I play ‘em hundreds of times, stroking the record and finess-ing the mix. When it’s over, it’s gone for years.”

Jazz-pop musician Maia Sharp, who’s worked with Garfunkel before, produced the two new songs on the album. She also wrote “Long Way Home” while her father, Randy Sharp, wrote “Lena,” which features Dean Parks on guitar.

“You’ve got to play this ... because Dean Parks on electric guitar, with his fuzz and distorted insanity that grows in the fade, is really a master’s touch,” said Garfunkel, who has occasionally reunited with Simon over the years.

Of the established tunes, Garfunkel is particularly proud of his singing on “Kathy’s Song,” a live recording from the Old Friends tour he and Simon did in 2004. Originally recorded for their 1966 hit album “Sounds of Silence,” the track features Simon on guitar and Garfunkel singing.

“His nuancy guitar support and the loving, caressing guitar work that Paul Simon does on a Martin acoustic guitar just kills me and it makes me sing lovely,” said Garfunkel.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSNEW YORK - Musician Rufus

Wainwright has tied the knot.Publicist Bianca Bianconi

BY DENE MOORETHE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER - They’ve bold-ly gone where no man has gone before - and now they’ve been to Vancouver’s Pacific National Exhibition, too.

Actors Brent Spiner and Marina Sirtis, who played Lt. Commander Data and Counsellor Deanna Troi on Star Trek: The Next Generation, thrilled fans Friday with visit to

the Star Trek exhibition at this year’s fair.

On the 25th anniversary of the iconic sci-fi show, the actors said they had no idea when they signed on to do the pilot that it would spawn a franchise that continues to this day.

“Work. They offered me a job which was going to last a year or 10 months, it was going to be the longest job I’d ever had on

television and I said: Where do I sign,” Sirtis said. “It was just a job, really, at the time. I wasn’t a big Star Trek fan.

“Now, of course, I am, because, um, they bought me everything I own.”

As they did a whirlwind photo shoot in the touring exhibit, Spiner said he had no idea what was ahead.

“I still don’t believe it,” he said.

“I don’t take it particularly ser-iously, the whole oeuvre, but it’s almost 50 years old, Star Trek, and when something hits half a century and it’s still going, you have to take it semi-seriously. When it hits 100 years, it’s a certi-fied religion at that point.”

This original series, starring William Shatner as James T. Kirk, debuted in 1966 and ran for just three seasons but became a cult

hit, and the franchise was revived in Star Trek: The Next Generation, which debuted in September 1987. The exhibit makes it first-ever Canadian stop at the Pacific National Exhibition, which con-tinues until Sept. 3. There are 46 years of Star Trek history on display, including sets from the series, filming models, props, cos-tumes and more from all five ser-ies and 11 feature films.

PRINCETON -- Henry Lee and Janet Zhang cap-tured the British Columbia Juvenile Boys’ and Girls’ Championships at Princeton Golf Club.

Lee, a 14 year old from Coquitlam and member at Swan-e-set Bay Resort and Country Club, completed a wire-to-wire victory, hold-ing off Vancouver’s Trevor

Yu and Dewdney’s Jake Scarrow by three strokes.

Rossland-Trail Country Club’s Tyler McKay sat in 18th spot going into the final round Thursday but struggled shooting an 84 after consecutive rounds of 77 to finish in a tie for 32nd spot.

Coming into the day, Lee held a four-stroke lead on the field and admitted he wasn’t gunning for any more.

“My game plan for the

final round was to keep it steady and shoot even for the day,” stated Lee. “I made a bad shot coming into 17 and wasn’t able to get up-and-down, then made a double on 18. I was nervous I wasn’t going to win but relieved when I did.”

By shooting a three-day 213, -3 total (68-71-74), Lee made the Championship closer than it should have been, slightly opening the door for Scarrow and Yu to sneak into the mix before

they finished with bogeys on 18 and made Lee’s first provincial title offi-cial. Scarrow (70-73-73) and Yu (72-72-72) would both shoot 216 totals, good enough for even-par on the Championship.

“I didn’t really expect to win coming in. The course was tough because you had to keep it straight and if you miss, you were in trouble,” said Lee. “I am just happy to be called the Juvenile champion.”

Looking ahead, Lee knows his practice for 2013 is very important.

“My year is done after this tournament. I need to practice harder so that I can come out and repeat as champion.”

Lee has the opportunity to play in two more Juvenile Championships until he loses eligibility due to age. No player has ever captured three B.C. Juvenile Boys’ Championships.

In the Girls’ division, first

round leader Janet Zhang, 15 of Richmond, came from behind to top the field and capture her first provincial Championship with a three-day 222, +3 total (73-75-74).

Heading into the day, Zhang sat three-strokes behind Annie Lee, 16 of Surrey, before mounting a sea-saw comeback that saw six birdies, three bogeys and two double bogeys for a final round +1, 74 and four shot victory.

BY CRAIG LINDSAYThe Castlegar News

Featuring teams from all over the Kootenays and even the U.S., Storm the Field U12 Youth Soccer Festival took over Twin Rivers/Millennium Park in Castlegar this weekend.

Organized by the Kootenay South Youth Soccer Association, the tour-nament features 12 teams with more than 120 kids participating.

“We’re hosting teams from as far away as Sandpoint, Idaho, Cranbrook, Kimberley, Nelson, as well as teams from Kootenay South including Castlegar, Rossland, Trail and Fruitvale,” said festival chair Roger Carlson.

“We had a record setting water gun fight on Saturday to break up the day and get the kids out of the sun. We loaded the kids with water guns and spent a good half hour run-ning around and soaking each other. The parents were involved as were the coaches, which was great to see and a lot of fun.”

This is the first year for the tour-nament and Carlson hopes to see it grow and expand. The tournament is divided into three divisions: U10, U11, and U12.

“We like to target those three age

groups, because they’re not often included in competitive, fun soccer,” he said. “Next year, we’d like to have our second annual and add more teams and more fields. In the past, Kootenay South has hosted a tourna-ment from the U11 to U18 group. Unfortunately, this year it didn’t occur. This event is targetted spe-cifically for the U12 and under age group. We’re hoping that next year we can built on it and move forward from here.”

Scores for individual games are recorded, but no overall standings are recorded. The focus of the tour-nament is having fun and compet-ing hard as is the mandate from BC Soccer at this age group.

“BC Soccer wants to promote the sport at its grass roots level,” said Carlson. “It’s what’s called a non-results based tournament. Where they expect and want the kids to go out and battle hard and compete each game but when the games over it has no impact on the overall tour-nament. If you win or lose or tie, the next game is a new game. A new day as it were. They’re promoting the game without the added pressure of having to win to move on to the playoffs and that.”

Orioles drop final BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor.M a n i t o b a ’ s

Elmwood Giants foiled the AM Ford Trail Orioles quest to duplicate their 2011 feat of winning the Senior Men’s Western AA championship in Winnipeg on Sunday.

Last year the Orioles beat the Giants in a gripping 4-3 final at Butler Park, so the Manitoba team was primed for revenge as

they went on to shut out the O’s in a close 3-0 game to win the 2012 championship.

The Orioles made it to the final match again this year finish-ing with a 3-1 record in the round robin, good enough for second seed, while the Giants took top seed with a perfect 4-0 record.

The Orioles opened the tournament with a 3-2 victory over Saskatchewan’s

Holdfast Trappers, before humbling a Lacombe, Alta. team 7-1 Friday evening.

On Saturday, the Orioles faced the Brandon Manitoba All Stars and won a close 3-2 decision to go 3-0.

The Orioles squad then faced Elmwood in its final game of the round robin, but a determined Giants team held the O’s to just one run, in a 4-1 win.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSASPEN, Colo. - Lance Armstrong was

feeling just fine even after being beaten by a lanky teenager in a grueling 36-mile mountain bike race.

Better than fine, even. He’s more at ease now than he has been in a decade.

In his first interview since the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency disciplined Armstrong with a lifetime ban from professional cycling and vacated his seven Tour de France titles, he said, “Nobody needs to cry for me. I’m going to be great.”

Armstrong couldn’t catch Keegan Swirbul at the Power of Four bike race Saturday, finishing nearly five minutes behind the hard-charging kid.

“It’s cool to get your butt kicked by a 16-year-old when you know he has a bright future,” Armstrong said, smiling.

For a few hours, Armstrong was back in his element - on a bike and in a race.

No controversies weighing him down, either.

The escape into the mountains around Aspen was almost refreshing. He took the time to enjoy a bright, blue day and soak in the scenery.

As for what lies ahead, Armstrong wasn’t thinking that far - only toward lunch. Armstrong chatted for a few min-utes before saying, “OK, I’m going to go eat a cheeseburger.”

Before leaving, though, he posed for pictures with the throng of fans that gath-

ered at the base of a ski lift to watch the racers finish.

Asked if there was anything he would to say to his fans, the ones who’ve sup-ported him through the controversy, he said: “I think people understand that we’ve got a lot of stuff to do going for-ward. That’s what I’m focused on and I think people are supportive of that. It’s great to be out here.”

Decked out in black and gold and sporting a Livestrong emblem on his jer-sey, Armstrong tinkered with his bike and gave a kiss to girlfriend Anna Hansen before pedaling off. Hansen was waiting at the finish, too.

So were plenty of other members of the Armstrong entourage.

His busy weekend was supposed to include a trail marathon Sunday. But he told The Associated Press two hours later he was going to skip the race.

This competition simply took that much out of him. With good reason, given all the climbing the cyclists had to do.

And while Armstrong may be banned from cycling, it certainly hasn’t dimin-ished his passion for competition.

“It’s not so much about racing any-more for me,” Armstrong said. “For me, it’s more about staying fit and coming out here and enjoying one of the most beauti-ful parts of the world, on a beautiful day, on a very hard course. Some may say

you’re a little sick to spend your free time doing stuff like this. I had a good time.”

So did Swirbul - beating his idol was the highlight of his burgeoning career.

Or so he thought. Then came this: Armstrong saying Swirbul was a rider to keep an eye on down the road. Swirbul beamed as he stood next to Armstrong.

Swirbul hardly had the heart to tell Armstrong that he won with only one gear - the rest going out early in the race.

“I’m so psyched right now,” said Swirbul, who turns 17 on Sept. 2. “I wanted to win this race so bad.”

How come?“To beat the 7-time Tour champ,” he

said, grinning.To riders such as Swirbul, Armstrong

will always be champion of those Tour de France titles, no matter what rulings are made.

“It’s just a bunch of bureaucrats causing trouble,” said Max Taam, who trains with Armstrong and finished third Saturday. “I think he’s just happy to move on and be out on his bike.”

Armstrong, who retired a year ago and turns 41 next month, said Thursday he would no longer challenge USADA and declined to exercise his last option by entering arbitration. He denied again that he took banned substances in his career, calling USADA’s investigation a “witch hunt” without any physical evi-dence.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSRENTON, Wash.

- Terrell Owens NFL return lasted less than three weeks.

Owens tweeted on Sunday that he is no longer a member of the Seattle Seahakws, part of the league-mandated roster reductions from 90 to 75 players. The 38-year-old posted a message on his Twitter account shortly before 11 a.m. PDT that he had been released.

“I’m no longer a Seahawk. I THANK the organization 4 the opportunity, I’m truly blessed beyond belief. My FAITH is intact & will NOT waiver.”

Owens signed a one-year deal with Seattle (No. 22, APPro32) on Aug. 7, following a ster-ling workout that had coaches and Seahawks staff raving about how good he looked for hav-ing not played an NFL game in more than 18 months. He signed just before Seattle’s first

preseason game and made his debut in the second week against Denver.

But his preseason performance was more notable for the passes he dropped than any-thing he caught. Owens dropped a potential 46-yard touchdown against Denver on a perfect throw from Matt Flynn. He failed to make a catch in any of his five targets against the Broncos and then had another glaring drop against Kansas City on Friday night. He finished the preseason with just two recep-tions - a 40-yard catch from Russell Wilson where Owens had to slow down and lean back to haul in the pass and a 1-yard reception on a screen.

For as impressive as his long catch was in Seattle’s 44-14 win over the Chiefs, it served as Owens’ only highlight in a Seahawks uniform.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSCOQUITLAM, B.C. - Lydia Ko won the

Canadian Women’s Open on Sunday to become the youngest winner in LPGA Tour history and only the fifth amateur champion.

The 15-year-old South Korean-born New Zealander closed with a 5-under 67 for a three-stroke victory. She broke the age record of 16 set by Lexi Thompson last September in the Navistar LPGA Classic in Alabama, and is the first amateur winner since JoAnne Carner in the 1969 Burdine’s Invitational.

In January, Ko won the New South Wales Open in Australia at 14 to become the young-est player to win a professional tour event. She also won the U.S. Women’s Amateur two weeks ago in Cleveland.

Ko finished at 13-under 275 at The Vancouver Golf Club, pulling away with bird-ies on five of the first six holes on the back nine. She opened with consecutive 68s and shot a 72 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead into the final round.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Nick Watney moved to the top of the FedExCup stand-ings Sunday by winning The Barclays, the opening event in the FedExCup Playoffs.

Watney won by three strokes, outdueling playing partner Sergio Garcia, who had entered the final round

with a two-shot lead.Watney shot a 2-under 69

to finish at 10 under while Garcia shot 3-over 74. Garcia, with a bogey on his final hole, finished at 6 under and in a tie for third with defending Barclays champion Dustin Johnson.

Brandt Snedeker, who shot

70, finished solo second.With points in the Playoffs

quintupled, Watney received 2,500 points for the win. Snedeker moved into second place in the FedExCup stand-ings. Regular season leader Tiger Woods dropped to third after shooting a final-round 76 to finish at 1 over.

Six players from outside the top 100 in points played their way into next week’s Deutsche Bank Championship: Canadians Graham DeLaet who finished fifth after shoot-ing a final round 65 and David Hearn tied for 10th , Bob Estes, Jason Day, Tommy Gainey and Jonas Blixt.

Watney claims Barclays, leads FedEx

LEISURE

Dear Annie: I am a single mother in my mid-30s and recently graduated from college. Because of the current job market, I am hav-ing difficulty finding a permanent full-time position in my field. I will most likely need to relocate to another state.

The problem is my great aunt. She is a nosy gossip and occasionally puts me on the spot, asking me all kinds of questions. I am not, nor have I ever been, close to this woman. I usually see her only in church, so this is where these grillings take place. I find it highly inappro-priate, but she backs me into a corner, and I end up answering her. She had the nerve to ask whether I will be “allowed” to move to another state. When I asked her what she meant, she alluded to the fact that my ex-husband may not want me to take my son else-where.

Annie, this woman

knows perfectly well that my ex wants noth-ing to do with our son, and it is extremely hurtful when people bring up the subject. This man has chosen to remove himself from our son’s life for the past two years. Why would she insinuate that he’d block me from moving?

I do not care to air my personal business to my drama queen of an aunt so she can have fodder for her gossipy life. But she is also family, and I do not want to cause controversy by telling her to mind her own business. How can I get her to stop her inquisi-tions in a tactful way? -- Niece in the Hot Seat

Dear Niece: There

are ways to avoid answering nunofyer-bizness-type questions by obfuscation and changing the subject while remaining sweet and pleasant. But it sounds like you need to practice in front of a mirror because you get too flustered when cornered. Smile and say sweetly, “Why, Aunt Bee, when I have news to share, I’ll be delight-ed to tell you. Where did you get that lovely dress? You look 10 years younger.” Then give her a big kiss on the cheek and walk away before she recovers. Repeat as needed.

Dear Annie: I have a scholarship that makes my private college experience cost nearly the same as my sis-ter’s public education. Recently, my father told me that I’m on my own in terms of paying for grad school, should I decide to go.

This surprised me because he and my mother are currently paying for my sister to

receive her master’s degree. Even though I could handle taking out loans, I’m a little hurt that they’d pay for my sister’s entire education and not mine.

How should I deal with this? -- Feeling Unloved in Kansas

Dear Kansas: It’s possible that your par-ents’ financial situation has changed recently, and although they feel obligated to con-tinue with your sister’s tuition, they cannot afford to take on any more expenses. The only way to find out why they appear to show favoritism is to ask them. But frankly, neither you nor your sister should depend on your parents to cover the cost of post-gradu-ate degrees. Please look into scholarships, grants and other finan-cial aid.

Dear Annie: “Faithful and Upset” was besieged by a girl-friend who objected to his online friendships with women. While

you agreed that she is insecure, you also sug-gested that he examine his friendships and ask himself whether she has a point.

As a 64-year-old straight male in a mon-ogamous relationship, my friendships are

almost entirely with women and gay men. Why? I don’t relate well to guys who want to talk sports, cars and how to barbecue. Women are much more interest-ing, with two of these relationships lasting decades. Fortunately,

my fiancee has no issue with my friendships, which is one of the rea-sons I love her.

In my view, “Faithful” is liberated from society’s illogical, constraining norms. -- Santa Cruz

Try changing subject when talking to nosy aunt

LEISURE

For Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid squabbles with oth-ers, especially about shared property or debt. Especially avoid arguments with some-one older or in authority (a landlord?). TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) In many respects, this is not an easy day for you. Things are tough when dealing with authority figures, as well as with friends and partners. Run away! Run away! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Avoid controversial subjects with co-workers today. (This includes politics, religion and racial issues.) People actu-ally are looking for an excuse to get into a fight. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might be disappointed in your allotment or your fair share of something, espe-cially if this has to do with sports, children and social

occasions. These things hap-pen. (It is what it is.) LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Put a lid on it when talking to everyone at home today, whether they are partners or family members. Tiny differ-ences will escalate quickly into nasty arguments. (Who needs this?) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might not realize how strong you come off when talking to others today. You want to be right, and you want to get your own way. Hey -- you can’t always do this. (Ya think?) LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Avoid squabbles about money and possessions, because they won’t solve anything. Instead, you will get rankled and upset, and your peace of mind will be destroyed. Just let it go. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Arguments with parents

and female relatives will go nowhere today. You only regret it. Remember: A closed mouth gathers no feet. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Someone might be work-ing behind the scenes against your best interests. You might know this, but you cannot prove it. Just bide your time quietly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) In a class or group situation

today, disagreements could break out, especially with a female. You need this like another hole in your head. Chill out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Because the Moon is in your sign today, you will be more emotional than usual. You will especially be tempt-ed to rebel against authority figures. (How smart is that?) Not.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Something behind the scenes that you can’t mention might anger you today. Don’t worry about this, because many people feel the same way. Your best option is to be patient and let it pass. YOU BORN TODAY You are skilled with language. You know how to use words to convey all kinds of subtle meanings. Naturally, you’re articulate and convincing!

But more than that, you can inspire and motivate others. Frequently, people come to you for advice. In the next year, a major change might take place, possibly some-thing as significant as what occurred around 2003. Birth date of: Jason Priestley, actor; Robertson Davies, author; Emma Samms, actress/humanitarian. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
