Director opposes logging in Casino’s watershed

Band program marches on

BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

The Trail Alliance Church is making some beautiful noise.

A band program proposed by the church for low-income students—but open to students from each soci-economic plane—is slated to get a boost by forging a partnership with School District 20 (SD20).

Terry Moon, the facilities administrator at the Alliance Church, was ecstatic about the positive response and cooperation he received at the SD20 board of trustees meeting in Blueberry Creek last month.

“I can’t ask for anymore right now,” Moon said after the meeting.

“I’m just plain excited about where we could go with this (program).”

He added that support from the community and the school district’s principals has been overwhelming, anticipating the district would begin the process of setting up extra-curricular activities within the next week.

The proposed program is expected to run twice a week after school with additional social events like a coffee house to get kids chatting.

There will be a starter band for anybody who has never played an instrument before, and an intermediate band for those who already have the fundamentals.

The Maple Leaf Band, SwingSations and a former J. L. Crowe music teacher have volunteered to aid the needs of the student band program this fall with some mentoring and instruction.

A forested area in Casino’s watershed is on the chopping block as a referral for comment for harvesting timber has been approved by the regional district board.

The proposed cutblocks 1.5 kilometres south of Casino are on unsurveyed Crown land in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary’s (RDKB) electoral area B, but the fact it is within the community’s watershed has the area’s director in opposition.

Linda Worley went on record as opposed to the application in September after the Area Planning Committee (APC) meeting, that she was opposed to the proposal for logging so close to and within a corner of the Casino watershed.

“I always have concerns when there is a disturbance or activity in a watershed that could potentially affect a community water supply.”

However, logging application referrals from the Ministry of Forests are for comment only, said Worley, and the regional district has no control over the actions of the ministry.

Although the applicant—Atco Wood Products—had not provided complete details of the harvest plans, or an estimated date to start, there is a total of seven blocks (100 hectares) set to be cut, with one proposed clear cut within the headwaters of the Casino Creek Community Watershed.

Referrals from the ministries of Forestry and Mining come to the APC for information purposes only, and to allow for comment by the

Area B APC committee. The referral was presented to the APC by Atco with the assurances they would notify Casino residents of the proposed intent of logging in that area.

The APC reported that it felt that provincial regulators would be monitoring Atco during the process and would assure that all safeguards and regulations were adhered to and minimize any impact on water quality. “(The APC members) reinforce the staff recommendation that ATCO Wood Products notify the community of Casino and the Waterworks District of their proposed activity and any possible road closures and/ or effect on water quality,” the APC report read.

An RDKB staff report from assistant planner Marie-Ange FournierBeck suggested some concerns with the logging happening so close to the community.

“Logging in the community watershed could potentially impact water quality,” she said in her report. “The province has legislation regarding logging in community watersheds.”

ATCO has already notified the Casino Waterworks District as well as other associated water licences.

Worley said there have been no comments or complaints issued by Casino residents to regional district offices in regard to the proposed logging.

Machinery and logging trucks will be hauling on Casino Road through the Casino community. No new access roads are being created, however, new spur roads will be extended from the existing roads.

Trail’s outdoor market ready to make move inside Last market on Esplanade set for this Friday

BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

After a summer filled with busy market days on the Esplanade, the Trail District and Chamber of Commerce is expanding its

reach.

The next market is Friday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the Esplanade, and afterwards it will be held in the Cominco Gym until Dec. 14.

“The community is supporting it and our vendors are just thrilled,” Maggie Stayanovich, the executive director at the Trail

and District Chamber of Commerce. “The different venue gives us an opportunity to continue doing the great things that are going on.”

The Esplanade market runs every second Friday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

According to Stayanovich, nearly 500

people attended the last market on Esplanade two weeks ago and she was surprised because it was held at the start of a long weekend.

“We still had 29 vendors at the last market and we were just shy of 500 people, which isn’t bad considering it was a long weekend and a lot of people took Friday

off so we’ve been blessed,” she said.

“I do my sunshine dance every market day.”

Previously the increasing number of vendors has stretched the market from the corner of Spokane Street and the Esplanade into Jubilee Park. But there is still room for vendors to register if they wish.

Battery replacement not as easy as it used to be

I

am noticing a trend. I do not know whether it is a good trend or a bad trend but it is a trend. Replacing the battery on many cars is no longer one of those jobs most people are willing to tackle.

Typically, in the past, when your car would not start and the symptom was that of a dead battery many a vehicle owner would head down to the nearest store that sold batteries, buy a new one and install it themselves. In some cases the vehicle was now fixed. Especially if the battery was original to the vehicle and the vehicle was older than five years.

The results of many of these seat of the pants battery diagnoses were less than successful though. For the vehicle owner it meant the possibility of no trip to the mechanic and the saving of money. The next time the vehicle would not start though, the other two jobs the mechanically inclined owner would consider (replacing the starter or alternator) were not so simple. Buying a starter or alternator would cost more than the battery and replacing them could be much more difficult. What if the diagnosis is wrong again? Better to bring

Some vehicles even set diagnostic codes when the battery is removed and require computer scan tools to reset the modules that set codes and turn on warning lights.

The latest BMWs present the craziest battery replacement process. The battery is registered to the vehicle after replacement. The charging system is specially set up to charge different batteries in different methods.

The batteries in these vehicles are AGM type (another whole article) and they require a special charging rate. The age of the battery is important. New batteries require a lower charging rate than older batteries.

The charging system in these vehicles accounts for the age and type of battery.

LOCAL Annual Fall Cleanup set to sweep through local communities

BY BREANNE MASSEY Times Staff

Summer has gone, a shroud of grey has stretched across the sky and warm shades of reds and oranges have filled the trees.

But the possibilities of autumn can translate into a nightmare for cleaning up the city’s streets and yards, which is why the City of Trail has slated a Fall Clean-Up program to pickup yard and garden waste and branches throughout Greater Trail at no cost.

It’s all part of the municipality’s year-long campaign to beautify the Silver City, said councillor Gord DeRosa, and to keep ahead of the accumulating dust, dirt and foliage.

As a result the city sweeps the total road system in the city five times per year, he said, adding that city crews are picking-up leaves around the neighbourhoods to prepare for winter.

The city is requesting

that all residents do not place any refuse other than items listed above into city lanes or on city property. All other refuse must be stored on private property and disposed of appropriately.

However, loose leaves and clippings will not be picked up and there are a couple of other regulations to abide by, like bundling up branches in short lengths (not exceeding six feet).

In addition, the city will only pick up a maximum of one cubic yard of refuse (approximately a half ton truck full) of those items.

Refuse in excess of this amount will be left behind.

And finally, all yard and garden waste to be picked up should be placed on a property line close to the area where usual garbage is picked up.

The City of Trail will only pick up the items listed. It will be the owner’s responsibility to take all other refuses to the appropriate

GUY BERTRAND PHOTO

The street sweepers and city staff will be helping homeowners get rid of leaves and branches. recycling facilities or the landfill site. Clear bags are available from the city at a cost of $1.50 per bag.

With the upcoming winter season, the city is now in the process of looking at signing snow removal con-

tracts for various city parking lots, DeRosa added.

“It seems odd that we are talking about snow, but it will come,” he said.

Crews are scheduled for pick-ups between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. and residents

are asked to have the appropriate materials ready and placed outside by 7 a.m. on the first day scheduled in each area of town.

Homeowners in Glenmerry and the Waneta Area will be the first to receive the perks on Oct. 22 and 23. Shavers Bench and Miral Heights are next on Oct. 24. East Trail is slated for Oct. 25 and 26. Residents in Sunningdale on Oct. 29 and 30. West Trail on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 and last but not least, Tadanac on Nov. 2 and 5.

City crews will only visit each area once during the dates specified above.

The City of Rossland will be driving by each residence once and asks homeowners to ensure all items are on the boulevard by 7 a.m. on Oct. 29.

Any items placed on boulevard after Oct. 29 will not be picked up and homeowners will be responsible for taking it to the landfill.

But Warfield and Montrose don’t have any fall clean-up plans slated outside of their regular pickup programs. Montrose will only have one more yard and garden pick-up on Oct. 25 and Fruitvale will follow suit.

“We do a Friday and follow up Monday pick up of yard waste and leaves,” said chief administrative officer Lila Cresswell.

This season’s fall clean up in Fruitvale will take place between Oct. 26 and Oct. 29.

Only organic material will be picked up and it must be placed in clear bags. Tree clippings must be tied in bundles no longer than 4 feet in length and piled in one location.

Cresswell said if residents chose to dispose of compostable yard and garden material themselves, the McKelvey Creek landfill site accepts these materials at a cost.

FROM PAGE 1 “The only thing the schools can do for us directly is just to let the students know the program is available,” he said.

“From there, we have to work with the school board to get the instruments we know are sitting and put them to work and not collect dust. And let our students grow.”

His goal was to get youth off the street and give them something they can feel really good about by build up a program that will boost their confidence, he said.

“We could put the darn program back in the schools and that is the exciting part,” he added. “But the kids will go away with something they will never forget in their lives.”

Moon is working closely with the church to secure the correct permits to open up a coffee shop element, in an attempt to offer “street kids” somewhere safe to go.

But the church needs instruments to make its dream come true. Moon said they are still looking for anyone with instruments around their house that they are no longer using and could consider donating to the program.

The former Kingdom Hall on Laburnum Drive—renamed, the AMP (the Alliance Meeting Place)—will be the site of the band program.

If you can help with the program or would like more information, contact Moon at 250-368-9516.

Clark has appointed Education Minister Don McRae to conduct consultations and review reports with the goal of long-term labour stabil-

The Canada Border Services Agency said in 2006 that it planned to arm its 4,800 guards within 10 years and so

RCMP say the guard, Lori Bowcock, remains in stable condition in hospital after a man shot her and killed himself.

Hunter shot after mistaken for wildlife THE SOUTH DELTA LEADER A 56-year-old Delta man is in serious but non-life threatening condition after being shot during a hunting trip in northeastern B.C. On Tuesday at around 8:30 a.m. Fort St. John RCMP received a report that a hunter had been accidentally shot while sitting on his ATV in the Pink Mountain Recreational Area.

Police say witnesses reported was poor visibility in the area and another hunter, with a separate hunting party, mistook the man sitting on the ATV as wildlife and shot at him, hitting him in the knee. First aid was immediately given and the man transported to Pink Mountain and was subsequently taken to hospital.

The man who shot the rifle is from Vancouver Island. “This is a terrible accident but hopefully all hunters can learn from it. One of the commandments of Firearm Safety is to be sure of your target and what’s beyond it,� said Cpl. Jodi Shelkie of the Fort St. John RCMP.

City designates Chihuahua as ‘dangerous dog’ THE CANADIAN PRESS WINDSOR, Ont. - A 1.3-kilogram Chihuahua from Windsor, Ont., has been designated a dangerous dog.

The title came after a mail carrier alleged she was bitten on the ankle by the pint-sized canine on Aug. 23.

On Wednesday, the Windsor Licensing Commission rejected an appeal to the designation by Molly’s owner, Jason Scott.

Scott says he’s not impressed by the ruling.

As a consequence of the designation, the Chihuahua has to be muzzled when it’s outside, and have a microchip implanted that identifies Molly as a dangerous dog.

Scott must also get at least $1 million in insurance coverage. “It’s a joke,� said Scott, adding that Molly is “the size of a shoe.�

No surprises in budget bill, says finance minister THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Finance Minister Jim Flaherty put on his best poker face Wednesday as he insisted the Conservative government’s next budget implementation bill wouldn’t contain any unexpected surprises.

Flaherty’s second budget bill, to be introduced Thursday, is believed to contain measures to reform MP and public sector pensions, as well as a host of tax changes. But that’s it, the minister insisted. “The budget was published in the spring, everybody’s had months and months to read it,� he said after question period. “There are no surprises.�

Last spring’s controversial omnibus legislation, denounced by critics as a “Trojan horse� bill, amended dozens of laws and included provisions not mentioned at all in the budget, like an end to oversight for the Canadian Security Intelligence Agency.

Critics fear the next

bill will be no different. “Last spring, Conservatives presented a bill that not only killed more jobs than it created, it weakened environmental protection, gutted the Fisheries Act and further cut EI to Canadians,�

NDP MP Nathan Cullen said during question period.

“Across the country people were clear, this is not how Parliament should work.�

The Conservatives defended the use of omnibus legislation as a legitimate tool to ensure speedy passage of economic measures and have argued that bill received extensive debate.

B

ullying never has a happy ending At one point or another almost every one of us has been faced with a bullying situation.

Be it at school, in the playground, at the workplace or even in cyber-space bullying knows no boundaries.

And that’s what makes it so difficult to find a solution.

Teachers or supervisors can be extra-vigilant in the schoolyard or in the work place. Meetings and assemblies can be held to promote tolerance. But once the person leave the confines of school or work, it takes the efforts of other people to provide support and aid in the prevention.

The sad and disturbing story of Amanda Todd, the bullied teen who took her own life to end the torment, is one that is repeated far too often in today’s society.

With all due respect to our politicians, no amount of airtime in the House of Commons or televised angst by the premier of a province is going to have much of an impact.

Certainly it shows they care but for how long? We

all know a politician’s attention span is only lasts until the next opportunity comes along.

There is no doubt New Democrat MP Dany Morin is sincere when he told teh House of Commons more needs to be done to address the situation. But as usual, more from the federal level usually means an announcement that millions of dollars will be spent, committees will be created, ideas will be exchanged but at the end of the day somehow the money will be miss-spent and the ideas never implemented.

Past practices have shown it takes a long time for a government-pushed theme to filter down into the public’s consciousness.

Changing people’s patterns on smoking or littering took years of repeated public service announcements and high-profile advertising. It has happened but certainly not overnight.

Bullying won’t end tomorrow yet the first step in preventing it is right at our fingertips.

It doesn’t lie in the hands of the teachers, supervisors or politicians.

And I find it hard to believe the police would

GUY

BERTRAND Times in Trail ever be able to convict someone of bullying, especially when it involves the intricate web of high school social scenes, the Internet and instant messaging.

The one surefire way to stem the tide of bullying begins at home.

There has to be some point in a parent or guardian’s life when they have to hold themselves accountable for the young people they send out into the world.

There has to be some sense of duty to make sure we aren’t raising a society of people who can anonymously harass someone from the comfort and protection of their family’s home.

It is the responsibility of any caregiver to make sure they not only provide the

necessities of life but also an understanding of how to treat fellow human beings.

Too often we’re told, “Children mimic what they see and hear.”

It is so true.

If you fly off the handle or shout to vent or name-call someone who cut you off on the road, chances are some young ears have picked up on that as acceptable.

We have all vented out loud at one time or another.

I guess the key is to be selfaware when those situations arise. Who is around?

What impact am I making?

What message am I sending to those around me?

If we hold ourselves accountable, that’s probably the best role model for anyone.

Kids pick up on those situations. And add to it the ease and speed such tirades can be directed through the Internet and you’ve unwittingly released a child on to the world with those same attitudes.

As a parent I know how hard it is to monitor what your child does on the computer. The older they get the more options they have to communicate. And as a parent of a teenage daugh-

ter, I am keenly aware of the amount of conversations that take place out of my sight and hearing. Even Superman, with his super hearing, would have a hard time keeping up with the endless message streamed throughout the day.

Our best option is to give our children the tools to avoid the pitfalls and be aware of the feelings of others. There’s no quick cure for this disease, which has spread exponentially since the advent of the Internet.

The only solution is to provide the proper tools, in this case character traits, which can identify, avoid, prevent and speak out against bullying.

Once a generation has those tools, the tide against bullying will grow.

It won’t be thanks to politicians or a segment on 60 Minutes. But rather input from a child’s immediate support group that will be the greatest help of all.

The first step towards a solution really does begin at home. It’s just something to think about. I know I remind myself as often as I can.

Guy Bertrand is the managing editor of the Trail Times.

LETTERS & OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Cross-border shopping hurts Canadian communities Presently, our Canadian dollar is high against the U.S. greenback. However, I wonder if this is a good thing for our border communities.

Almost daily, I am told of the great deals that people find in Colville and Spokane and come back to Canada with trunks full of groceries, clothes, building materials, etc with their gas tanks filled with

American gas.

While I am sure that the good people of Colville appreciate the Canadian economic shot in the arm to their depressed economy, they are not the ones paying for schools, hospitals, road work, etc on this side of the border.

Every little cross border shopping trip chips away at a local Canadian business and

a local Canadian job, perhaps eventually, even that of the cross border shopper.

Perhaps we should show a bit of maturity, as well as loyalty to our country and community and, if possible, try to keep our loonies on this side of the 49th parallel.

A proud Canadian.

Watchdog closer to holding Harper to account An editorial from the Toronto Star Just as Dr. Frankenstein invented his own worst enemy, so too did Stephen Harper. In 2006, the prime minister established the parliamentary budget office, promising a new era of accountability in Ottawa. If you asked him today, he might say he created a monster.

Last week, the head of the office, Kevin Page, made significant headway in a months-long battle with the government over its refusal to cough up financial details related to the last federal budget.

A threat, issued earlier this month, to take departments withholding information to court if they didn’t change tack by last Wednesday appears to have changed a few minds.

The details Page is after relate to how departments plan to implement the cuts contained in the budget. When he first made the request last spring, 64 of 84 departments and agencies refused to comply. But last week, faced with the prospect of legal action, 19 more departments asked Page to extend the deadline so they could prepare

the requested reports. And it appears that many more, if not all, will follow.

Up until now, Treasury Board President Tony Clement has justified the government’s refusal to hand over the financial details by claiming that Page is overstepping his mandate. After all, Clement says, the PBO is supposed to gather and analyze data on how the government spends, not on how it doesn’t spend.

That is preposterous. The PBO was created to provide Parliament with the information necessary to evaluate government’s fiscal plans. Clearly, plans to cut are just as relevant to the PBO’s work as plans to spend. How can opposition parties be expected, for instance, to consider the impact of the 19,000 public service jobs cut in the last budget if they don’t know specifically which jobs will be slashed or which services affected?

The cost of the government’s obfuscations was neatly illustrated by the recent emergency parliamentary debate on the massive XL Foods beef recall. The last federal budget contained a 7.8-per-cent cut to the Canadian

Food Inspection Agency, but few details about how that cut would be distributed. As NDP finance critic Peggy Nash has pointed out, it’s impossible for parliamentarians to diagnose any problem with Canada’s food inspection system or propose a solution until they have the information Page is seeking.

The Harper government came to power preaching accountability and transparency in the wake of the Liberal sponsorship scandal. Through its undemocratic use of omnibus bills and its refusal to co-operate with Ottawa’s accountability watchdogs - even those it established it has given Canadians reason to doubt its commitment to those values.

But if, as it seems, Page will soon prevail, he will have put Parliamentarians - and all Canadians - in a position to have a more complete and informed debate about the impacts of the last omnibus budget bill and the likely consequences of the next one. He will have proved again that, in creating the PBO, the Conservatives enriched our democracy - as much as they may now regret it.

Mom’s ‘strike’ approach hits the target An editorial from the New Glasgow News Walking to school every day uphill both ways - that was only half of it. Most parents these days will tell the kids these days that they also had a regimen of household duties they had to perform, or else.

Or else what? That would be the lackadaisical response these days. Many a parent along with casual observers complain that today’s youth, even if handed a share of responsibilities in the home, don’t face consequences if they don’t perform. It’s a wide generalization, granted, but guaranteed, a number of parents will recognize the pattern.

A woman in Calgary is becoming the poster mom in challenging teens into action. Jessica

Stilwell has a blog called Crazy Working Mom that presented her `on-strike’ tactic of refusing to pick up after her messy kids.

It’s a story that’s getting a lot of media attention. She and her husband got tired of continually tidying up, doing the dirty dishes and what have you as left behind by their three daughters. It took six days, and upon the seventh, the parents had a day they could at least put their minds to rest. The girls, apparently tired of steeping in their own filth, apologized and pitched in to make cleanup a family affair.

That’s the kind of happy ending people like to hear. Stilwell says she’s been overwhelmed with congratulatory responses and suggests other parents

should try going on strike too.

Many parents probably couldn’t quite muster the stomach required to take this drastic route. What if it didn’t work?

What would the neighbours think if they dropped in for tea?

But for those who could, it would be a worthwhile experiment, for at least a couple of days. Typical, mundane, household duties are something everyone has to learn eventually - just in case by some stroke of fate they don’t become fabulously rich.

And if you listen to the experts, carrying such responsibilities also provides a boost in achieving goals in other areas of life and in self-esteem.

Everyone’s a winner - another happy ending.

The Rossland native became intrigued with BMX biking after seeing his first race in Spokane.

His parents Jim and Carmen bought him a Redline BMX bike for his seventh birthday in late August and the avid mountain biker hasn’t stopped riding it since.

“Ryder practiced and raced tirelessly at various tracks including his home track in Grand Forks,” says mom Carmen, adding that his passion for mountain biking definitely helped, “He has no fear whatsoever of the BMX ‘pump’ track.”

He also got a jump start on the competition when he rode with Shylo Orchard, the Women’s Canadian Grand National Champion.

BY TIMES CONTRIBUTOR The Schmidt rink pulled out all the stops in Kootenay Savings Super League action Thursday to steal a tie in the final end against a talented Rob Ferguson rink.

The Schmidt foursome showed resilience and patience as it fell behind early. Ferguson made a take out for four in the fourth end to go up 5-2, and an incredible double takeout for two more in the seventh, to take a commanding 7-4 lead. But skip Desiree Schmidt drew to the four foot for one in the eighth, then stole a single point in the ninth and tenth ends to tie it at 7-7, and extend their unbeaten streak to five games.

The much anticipated match up between the Nichol rink and 5N Plus turned into a walkover for Nichol. Third Don Freschi skipped for the absent Deane Horning and struggled with the ice throughout the match.

After trading singles

in the first two ends, Freschi hung his last rock wide, jamming Nichols second shot into his shot rock for a Nichol steal rather than a three-ender for 5N. More bad luck ensued as a picked final stone in the fourth, handed Nichol three more points, and déjà vu all over again in the fifth, gave Nichol another three as the team went on to an 8-2 victory.

The Morehouse Rink got its first win of the season on the strength of a five-ender in the fourth that led to a 7-4 triumph over Maglio Ladies rink.

The Ken Fines rink made a nice come around tap for two in the second end to tie the match, then stole singles in the third, fourth, eighth, and ninth ends, running Maglio Men’s out of rocks in the 10th for a hard fought 8-5 win.

Kootenay Savings Super League action resumes tonight at the Trail Curling Club at 7 p.m.

Still in the mix FROM PAGE 9 Weir, a Rossland-Trail Country Club member, would steady herself on the final nine, carding a 40, after six pars, two bogies, and a double on the front nine.

Weir came from six strokes back to win the final round of the PacWest tour in Chilliwack by four, so she is far from out of it.

PacWest runner up Jen Woods of UBC Okanagan sits in fourth spot after shooting a 7-over-par 79. Katherine Gravel-Coursol from CEGEP Lionel-Groux in Quebec leads the field after firing a 1-under, 71.

The tournament is a three round stroke play match up and will finish up on Friday.

Start fresh with granddaughter for better relationship

since then, and frankly, I cannot excuse her bad behavior toward me. But Chelsea doesn’t have a great many family members, and I would like to mend this rift. My own friends have pointed out that “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Any suggestions?

-- Concerned Grandpa Dear Grandpa: Chelsea is young and living independently for the first time. She doesn’t want her grandfather (or anyone else) to tell her how to live her life. You were undoubtedly right to be concerned about her safety, but it came across as criticism, and she was not receptive.

If you want to fix this,

sexed.” I found that porn allowed me, at least in fantasy, to get some of the release I needed.

We divorced 11 years ago. I am now the luckiest man on Earth because I found a genuine partner. Not only is this 60-year-old woman mature, successful, loving, liberated and modern, but she still enjoys sex. We kiss and hug.

We enjoy touching that doesn’t always lead to sex, and when we do have sex, we want to please each other. I haven’t thought about watching porn since we met.

Women should ask themselves whether they are contributing to the behavior they abhor, and what they could bring to the relationship to make it better.

-- Problem Solved Dear Solved: In most troubled relationships, both parties contribute to the problem to varying degrees. The important thing is for each person to address their own weak spots

and then work to make the relationship better.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “S.,” who is uncomfortable telling the doctor’s receptionist what the medical problem is.

My husband had severe chest pains

and called to make an appointment. He thought it was indigestion. When he explained the problem to the receptionist, she told him to hold on while she notified the doctor, who told him to get to the emergency

room immediately. As it turned out, he’d had a heart attack and needed a quadruple bypass.

Had she just scheduled an appointment, things could have turned out much worse. -- Grateful

you will have to make the first move. Send her an email or post something on her Facebook page that is positive and complimentary.

Say nothing about the previous disagreement, and hope she is equally willing to let it go. Then start fresh. We hope someday Chelsea will be mature enough to appreciate your advice.

But right now, please tread lightly.

Dear Annie: I’ve read letters from women who complain because their men are spending time and money secretly watching porn. I suspect most men are like me.

I am 64 years old.

I was married for 24 years. Except for our sex life, I was truly happy right up until the day she said she had a boyfriend and wanted a divorce.

I always wanted more physical contact than she did, but she viewed that as “my” problem.

When she said “no,” she meant it, and she said it often. Meanwhile, she decided I was “over-

Dear Annie: Due to many complicated family issues, I’ve been estranged from my adult daughter for the past 10 years. However, she has a college-aged daughter with whom I’ve managed to maintain a decent and, I thought, loving relationship.

Last month, I was on “Chelsea’s” Facebook page. I’ve been proud of her success in college, her happiness with friends and the experience of living away from her mother. However, her friends posted a couple of remarks on her Facebook page that bothered me. I emailed her that these issues may not be any of my business, but I was concerned for her personal safety, etc. She quickly replied that this was indeed none of my business, and she made excuses for the Facebook comments. I expressed how disappointed I was with her attitude since I was only worried about her.

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Friday, Oct. 19, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This year, your positive attitude is your best friend.

Positive thoughts attract others to you and lead to positive actions, which generally generate positive results.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is your chance to boost your income, and you have this opportunity for the next 12 months. Go, Taurus, go!

(Half of success is just showing up.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Get ready for the most fortunate year you’ve had since 2001. It’s important to know when you’re running with the wind at your back, because this will happen for you for the next year.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) At this point in your life, you have a chance to learn what self-denial and hard work can earn you. Don’t shy

away from this. Don’t run in the other direction.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You have a popular year ahead of you. Everyone wants to see your face, and all group activities will be positive. This is a good time to join forces with others, and especially to get others to work for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) It doesn’t get much better than this. You put your name up in lights this year.

All Virgos will get increased recognition for whatever they do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Publishing opportunities, plus a chance to travel or get further education, will abound for you in the coming year. Make the most of this. Demand the advantage.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You can benefit from the wealth and resources of

others in the coming year.

Maintain a positive attitude, and keep your pockets open!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) All Sagittarians can look forward to a year ahead that’s full of warmth, friendships and partnerships. New partnerships could begin with someone older or richer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Continue to look for ways to boost your job and even

your health, because they will exist for the next year.

You can get a better job, better duties or a better boss.

Factoid.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is an unusually playful, romantic year for Aquarius.

Enjoy your good fortune and your creative opportunities.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your home life and where you live will please you much

more in the coming year. In addition, family relationships will be cozier, warmer and more mutually generous.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re free-spirited and outspoken.

Nevertheless, you are a loyal family member, as long as you can still feel independent. You have strong opinions and like to expose the truth, especially about hidden, murky situations. And you can be provocative! Plan on setting aside time to study
