They have almost done it! Cranbrook’s The Good Ol’ Goats is in the grand final of CBC Music’s nationwide Searchlight contest.

The young folk-rock band is up against Cornerbrook, Newfoundland’s Sherman Downey and the Ambiguous Case for the title of Canada’s best new artist.

Now, voters have until Thursday, April 11 at 10 p.m. to cast their votes in the final round at www.music.cbc. ca/#/Searchlight.

I could barely contain my excitement, but as humans place so much importance on emotional selfcontrol — especially by their companion animals — I restrained my urges. Well, for the most part. I admit my thumping tail seemed to have a mind of its own and once or twice an embarrassing whiney-whimpering sound escaped through my clenched canines, but other than that I was the epitome of self-restraint.

An unrestrained dogumentary.

Say Cheese: Boulder and Taylor pose impatiently for the obligatory trail head photo.

The excitement that was nearly overwhelming me was brought on by several facts.

Firstly, Dog Taylor and I were riding in a motor powered vehicle (always cause for celebration).

The snow deepens as the pups make their way higher on the historical Sunken Creek trail.

Secondly, we were doing so at slow speed, over a rough road.

Thirdly, our alpha human was grinning for no discernable reason (always cause for concern).

Put these facts all together and any dog worth his milkbones would deduce that, oh joy of joys, we were going into the hills, for a hike.

Outside the window I could see mountains — the Steeples. My person calls them — looming up directly in front of us. Once parked, Dog Taylor and I scrambled out and began our obligatory sniffing, only to be interrupted by the alpha human for his obligatory photo at the trailhead. We posed in front of a sign that read “Sunken Creek, B.C. Recreational Trail,” and when we heard the shutter’s click, Taylor and I were off.

The route is one with no shortage of history. It starts off as a road, and then quickly becomes a track, then a trail, which heads south along the base of the mountains. Eventually it reaches a cascading stream that froths and tumbles down from the back side of the Steeples. There is a log foot bridge that spans Sunken Creek and from there the path turns to the east and heads steeply up into the mountains.

Found master piece: Sunken Creek makes art with water moving over stone and water frozen in place.

Dr. Seuss-like ice ornaments catch the light.

This trail was constructed nearly 840 dog years ago (120 human years) to provide access to a mine high in the sub alpine just below Dibble Glacier. Copper, lead, zinc, and of course gold were clawed out of the mountains then hauled down this very track by over burdened animals and world weary humans.

Man, with his large brain and opposable thumbs, likes to think himself the superior species. He claims this lofty perch because in his view, he is the only animal with the ability for rational thought and logical reasoning. He is also the only species that will fritter away a lifetime looking for shiny rocks, which if you think about it, makes chasing your tail look down right reasonable.

Our little pack followed the trail through the spring like forest, across Sunken Creek with its dazzling ice sculptures, and then climbed back into winter as we moved higher into the mountains. The deepening snow eventually became too much for Taylor who is older and my human who only has two legs, so we turned around and made our way back to the truck.

I had just begun to doze on the ride home when my alpha human began to make strange, high-pitched vocalizations. At first I thought he was whimpering but then realized he was trying desperately to emulate the sounds made by the singer whose voice was streaming from the speakers of the truck. This is something my human does when his mood is high and he is overcome with feelings of contentment.

With his emotional self-restraint now non-existent, he bobbed his head and continued to rent the air with his off-key keenings. I swear, if the man had had a tail he would have been wagging it.

Gearing up for Election 2013 This is the second installment in the Townsman’s weekly series from the two declared Kootenay East candidates for the upcoming provincial election — Bill Bennett of the B.C. Liberals and Norma Blissett of the BC NDP. The question of the week is: “What is the first tangible thing you will work on for this riding if elected?” If you have a question you would like to submit for consideration, email barry@dailytownsman.com.

There is never just one tangible thing to do as MLA and often the priorities for the Elk Valley and Cranbrook are different. If I’m rehired, I will be working on projects like the $50 million Cranbrook high school replacement, defending the coal industry and finding more family physicians.

However, the proposed Salvation Army Shelter is my first Cranbrook priority.

I am already working hard on this project. Those of us who have a home, three square meals every day and a warm bed don’t always understand how many people in our community lack these basics. And if you don’t have the basics, imagine how hard it would be to get your life together, find a job, or look after your family. We can only call ourselves a “successful com-

Bill Bennett munity” if our community does not have people amongst us falling through the cracks.

This project will meet the needs of people who are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless. Although I’ve found funding in the past for shelter operations for men and women, I committed to this larger

project many years ago because our region needs more than a space with cots and blankets. People are struggling with alcohol or drug addiction, mental illness and abuse of various kinds. Keeping them warm and safe at night is important, but does not address their health issues, or connect them up with opportunities for training or therapy or provide a stable life while they start a job.

The Salvation Army provides a million beds a night globally. They’re the right group to provide housing and links to essential supports for single men, single women, couples and families here in Cranbrook. My commitment is to continue working with the Salvation Army and the Cranbrook Community Foundation to bring this project to life.

If elected, I will work on improvements to health care.

The NDP have promised to improve access to quality health care by investing in homecare for seniors, improving community-based services and facilities and reducing the cost of prescription drugs. We know that there are capital spending needs in all regions of the province. As your representative in government, I will fight for the health care needs of Kootenay East.

I will work with the Interior Health Authority and the East Kootenay Regional Hospital District to make improvements to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital facility both in terms of staffing and infrastructure.

On the doorstep in the Elk Valley concerns about health care come up repeatedly. I will work for improvements to emergency, primary health

Alleged abductor granted bail Robert Barnett, charged in connection with a November 2012 abduction in Fernie, will have a trial by judge and jury in June

S a l ly M ac D o n a l d Townsman Staff

A man charged with abduction by a parent/guardian has been released on bail in Cranbrook Supreme Court.

Robert Barnett will have a trial by judge and jury in Cranbrook Supreme Court starting June 18.

In the meantime, Barnett has been released on a $10,000 recognizance, with his parents acting as sureties.

He was ordered not to reside with his parents, but to advise a

bail supervisor of his residence.

He cannot possess or consume drugs or alcohol. Barnett must abide by the terms of any family court order; he cannot attend his parents’ home while the child connected to the alleged abduction is present without Ministry of Children and Family Development approval; and he must surrender his passport to Cranbrook RCMP. Barnett is charged with abduction by a parent/guardian and theft over $5,000 in connection with the November 2012 al-

leged abduction of a three-yearold boy from Fernie.

The incident last November sparked an Amber Alert, and the boy was found safe the next day in Whitefish, Montana.

Barnett’s trial is set to start on June 18 with jury selection, and is expected to last four days in Supreme Court.

At his last appearance in January, Barnett chose to represent himself. However, he has now selected counsel to represent him during the bail hearing and the upcoming trial.

Dangerous offender hearing delayed S a l ly M ac D o n a l d Townsman Staff

A dangerous offender hearing for admitted child abductor Randall Hopley has been delayed once more pending a psychiatric evaluation.

In Cranbrook Supreme Court on Monday, April 8, defence counsel William Thorne asked Justice Lauri Ann Fenlon to adjourn the case until June 17.

Thorne told Justice Fenlon that he is seeking a psychiatrist

to perform an expert evaluation of Randall Hopley prior to a dangerous offender hearing.

During a sentencing hearing last July, Crown prosecutor Lynal Doerksen requested that Hopley be declared a dangerous offender. The Crown has retained a psychiatrist who has performed an expert evaluation of Hopley; however defence counsel is seeking a second expert opinion.

Hopley has pleaded guilty to

abduction of a child under 14 and break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence in connection to the September 7, 2011 abduction of three-yearold Kienan Hebert from the boy’s home in Sparwood. Kienan was returned to the home unharmed four days later. On September 13, a police sniffer dog tracked Hopley to a gravel pit in Crowsnest Lake, Alberta. Hopley has remained in custody ever since.

norma blissett care and operating room staffing and facilities. We must recruit and retain additional doctors and augment medical support services in this under-served part of the province.

We also need more family physicians in Cranbrook. We will have to evaluate the success of existing rural recruitment strategies and proceed

accordingly.

As taxpayers, we must keep in mind that our provincial government is in serious financial difficulty. After 12 years of Liberal government we now have the highest longterm debt in the history of British Columbia – $56 billion.

It is also estimated the BC Liberal election budget hides a $790 million deficit. As a result, NDP candidates must be conservative in their election promises.

Adrian Dix and the BC NDP are committed to making practical changes that will make a real difference in peoples’ lives. As your representative in government I will advocate for the needs of Kootenay East. I will be a strong, consistent and reliable representative in Victoria. Bringing change for the better to this part of the province — one practical step at a time.

Better at Home: Last Thursday Cranbrook and Kimberley United Way hosted a public input session on the province-funded Better at Home program, which will provide seniors with non-medical home support services in more than 60 B.C. communities. The United Way designed the Better at Home program and will support local non-profit agencies in coordinating the delivery of such services as housekeeping, shopping and friendly visiting. From left to right: Pat Wray and Sandra Davis, Better at Home community developers; Bev Campbell, Cranbrook and Kimberley United Way board chair; Debbie Sharp, Better at Home Field Coordinator (United Way of the Lower Mainland); and Donna Brady Fields, Cranbrook United Way Executive Director. More info about Cranbrook’s Better at Home program will be released soon.

Cranbrook city council is laying plans for 2013 after approving a set of priorities and giving two readings to the 2013 budget at its Monday, April 8 meeting.

After months of discussion and a public consultation process, city council is on the verge of approving its $54 million budget.

The Five Year Financial Plan includes tax rate increases of 4.21 per cent in 2013, 5.87 per cent in 2014, 4.72 per cent in 2015, 7.38 per cent in 2016, and 4.49 per cent in 2017. This includes a one per cent dedicated road tax.

This year, the property tax increase is equal to $27.65 per $100,000 of assessed value.

On Monday, city council also endorsed a set of priorities for 2013, which city staff will then translate into a 2013 Business Plan.

Those priorities include: • design specification for an electrical

upgrade of the airfield at Canadian Rockies International Airport • a revamp of the City of Cranbrook website • completing a new sign bylaw • completing an update of the city’s Official Community Plan • a joint management agreement for St. Mary’s River Park between the city and ?aq’am (St. Mary’s Band) • phase two of wastewater improvements • construction of three water monitoring wells within the spray irrigation fields • production of a new suite of promotional products including a comprehensive community profile, a Doing Business in Cranbrook information kit, and a business investment page on the city’s website • continuing to measure and report carbon emissions while working toward becoming carbon neutral • completing landscaping at the fire hall • completing the link between Rotary Way and the North Star Rails to Trails • replacing playground equipment at McKinnon Park • completing the bike park at Balment Park • developing a mobile technology gadget bar at Cranbrook Public Library • reconstruction and landscaping at Clocktower Square • landscaping at Cranbrook’s Elizabeth Lake entrance For more news from Monday’s city council meeting, see The Daily Townsman throughout this week.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Cruel Arithmetic As residents of the Cranbrook area who care about the welfare of children, we would like to bring your attention to a book, just released, called “A Cruel Arithmetic: Inside the Case Against Polygamy,”

by Craig Jones.

When he was first appointed as Lead Counsel for the Attorney General, Jones felt that the crimes involved with polygamy such as child abuse would be prosecuted in our legal system. This book describes how the author’s own views evolved from skepticism to a committed belief in the campaign against polygamy once he met the witnesses who had been raised in Bountiful.

The book’s review states: “This is a remarkable insider’s story of a unique piece of litigation: the first trialcourt ‘constitutional reference’ in Canadian history. Craig Jones, lead counsel for the Attorney-General of British Columbia, describes the argument he and his colleagues developed against polygamy, drawing from fields as diverse as anthropology, history, economics and evolutionary psychology. Yet it was ultimately the testimony of real people that showed how the theoretical harms of polygamy’s ‘cruel arithmetic’ played out

upon its victims.”

Polygamy is still illegal in Canada, because on November 23, 2011, Chief Justice Robert Bauman of the B.C. Supreme Court ruled that S. 293 CC, prosecuting polygamy, is constitutional in that polygamy harms all society, and particularly contravenes the human rights of women and children.

Selenium levels Neither Teck nor the B.C. government has denied the well documented facts reiterated by the recent selenium study quoted in Wildsight and its partners’ media release on the poisoning of the Elk River. B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake reacted by the afternoon of our release stating that there would be no new coal mines approved in the Elk Valley until a valley-wide plan to manage the cumulative effects of selenium concentrations in the Elk River is developed. This is a welcome announcement.

Though the selenium problem has been growing for decades, British Colum-

bia is still without legal limits to selenium pollution. Until a plan is in place, including enforceable obligations, it would be foolish to expand permitting and the poisoning of a world class river that runs through our communities.

Unfortunately, some of the response from less informed sources suggested that the selenium levels in the river that far exceed water quality guidelines for fish and humans could be tied to “unknown” background levels of selenium. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The recent study looked at water quality both above the mines and in the Flathead River — both of which run through coal bearing landscapes. These pristine waters showed selenium levels consistently well below water quality guidelines.

The challenge is to reverse the present trend of the increasing poisoning and put enforceable scientifically supported standards in place. The balance between industrial development and environmental health must be reestablished. This will not be achieved until Elk River water quality is again healthy for fish and appropriate environmental mitigation and compensation in place.

It’s still easy being Green This is the first of a series of policy commentaries on the four main parties contesting the 2013 B.C. election.

I’m starting with the B.C. Green Party, which has higher than usual hopes for the 2013 election. It was also the first to put out a substantial policy document, albeit one that is still being debated and altered.

Green Book 2013 continues the Utopian positions that only a party with no chance of forming a government has the luxury to put forward. For example, they would double the area of parks in B.C., but take 100 years to do it.

Immediately, they would almost double the carbon tax, taking it from seven to 12 cents on a litre of gasoline.

Greens would extend this steeply increased carbon tax to industries such as natural gas and cement production. Leader Jane Sterk told me she expects cement producers and the like to adapt, rather than shut down as their competitive position erodes.

And what about the extra billions in carbon tax revenues? Sterk says most should continue to go to income tax reductions, as is now the case, because the purpose is to change consumption patterns, not to increase overall tax revenue. Most, but not all.

“We think there is an argument to be made for putting, for a period of time, the increased revenue from the carbon tax into creating the infrastructure that allows people to benefit from a carbon tax,” Sterk said.

That means transit, and potentially retrofits of homes and other buildings as well.

BC VIEWS Tax increase aside, this is essentially the NDP position Tom too.

Fletcher The Greens emphasize wind and geothermal power.

Sterk faces the awkward task of arguing against hydroelectric expansion.

A Green government would cancel the Site C dam project on the Peace River.

Sterk says it would only serve as a subsidy to liquefied natural gas exports, which she doesn’t believe materialize as international competitors develop.

The Greens’ star candidate, University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, agrees. Both point to vast reserves of Russian gas that may well get to Asia more quickly and cheaply.

Sterk said the 35,000 existing gas wells in northern B.C. “are not going to be shut down.” Actually, in the absence of LNG exports, that is exactly what would happen to many of them. The U.S. has its own shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only current export customer. Converting transport trucks

and BC Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going to maintain the vast industry blooming in northern B.C. The official Green Party position is to place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water use policy is developed. Current innovations such as reusing municipal wastewater are ignored.

The Green platform also demands disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done.

If one were to design a self-fulfilling prophecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green Party platform would be a good place to start.

Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m left with the impression that much of it remains calculated as a soothing message for urban voters who have been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker protest.

If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surfing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Liberals and the NDP. It will not be due to the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices.

It’s still pretty easy being Green.

Girls soccer team starts strong Senior girls squad reaches the final in season-opening tournament TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Mount Baker senior girls soccer team reached the final of their season-opening tournament in Kelowna this past weekend, kicking off a successful start to their 2013 campaign.

The team won their first three games over Friday and Saturday, but were beaten 3-0 by Mount Boucherie in the final game, which gave the Baker girls a silver medal.

It was the first time the team had played in game situations, and head coach Jimmy Robinson was impressed by what he saw.

“They played really, really well,” said Robinson. “What I noticed from this weekend is, we are very strong defensively, I know the 3-0 score doesn’t really show that, but that Mount Boucherie was beating other teams by 5-0, 6-0 and 7-0.”

The Baker girls cruised through Similkameen Secondary School with a 2-1 win, and followed up with a 4-0 victory

against St. Ann’s Academy on Friday.

The Wild rolled into Saturday with their undefeated record and downed their hosts, Immaculata Regional High School, by a score of 1-0 to put them into the final against Mount Boucherie.

“They’re a very, very strong school,” said Robinson, of their championship opponents.

“Have been for years.”

However, the Wild put on a good game, which was centred around their strong defensive corps.

“They played really, really well,” said Robinson. “What I

noticed from this weekend is, we are very strong defensively, I know the 3-0 score doesn’t really show that, but that Mount Boucherie was beating other teams by 5-0, 6-0 and 7-0.”

Robinson singles out the performance of his goaltender, Alex Juricic, as one of the keys to the team’s successful run over the weekend.

“Our goalie, Alex Juricic, was absolutely outstanding,” said Robinson. “I had numerous referees and parents and coaches from other teams come up and say she did a very good job, and I couldn’t agree more. “…Alex really stood out on the defensive end, along with our sweeper, Erin White.

“Offensively, Alyssa Rundberg [stood out]—she scored four of our total goals.”

The senior girls team will stay home this weekend, as three squads from around the region will come to town on the weekend for some informal game experience at the Mount Baker school field.

Tears flow as hockey greats Messier, Henderson and King honoured in Ottawa STE VE RENNIE Canadian Press

OTTAWA - NHL Hall of Famer Mark Messier couldn’t stop the tears, or the lump from forming in his throat, as he and two other hockey greats were honoured Monday for their contributions to the game.

The six-time Stanley Cup winner and perennial all-star broke down as he spoke of the national pride he felt as a young boy watching fellow Order of Hockey in Canada recipient Paul Henderson score the goal that sealed Canada’s hockey supremacy over the Soviet Union in the 1972 Summit Series.

“As an 11-year-old boy who was playing hockey, to get that kind of opportunity to feel what real national pride is all about through the game of hockey, obviously inspired me, not only as a hockey player, but to one day wear that sweater,” Messier said.

He had to pause for a moment to collect himself. “I almost got through it,” he joked.

Messier, arguably the

greatest leader the sport has ever seen, had to pause again as he recalled his pep talk to the Canadian players he coached at the 2010 Spengler Cup in Switzerland, in which he described the pride and sense of responsibility that comes with wearing the Maple Leaf.

“I didn’t cry when I was telling this story in the dressing room,” Messier said.

Messier wasn’t the only one to shed tears during Monday’s twohour ceremony on Parliament Hill. Coaching legend Dave King, the

third recipient of the Hockey Canada honour, welled up as he spoke of fellow coach Wayne Fleming, who died recently of cancer.

“Sorry for the emotion, but these are great people,” King said. “For a coach who never got very emotional, here I am, emotional.”

Amid the tears there was also good news as former Team Canada star Henderson shared a positive development in his battle with cancer.

The 69-year-old native of Kincardine, Ont., has been diagnosed with chronic lympho-

cytic leukemia. He told the audience that treatment he received as part of a clinical trial in the United States appears to have had a positive effect on his health.

Henderson thanked his wife, Eleanor, for getting him into a clinic trial.

Messier, Henderson and King join a select group of players and builders who have been awarded the Hockey Canada honour, including Jean Beliveau, Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Cassie Campbell-Pascall and Gord Renwick.

Sam Reinhart invited to national U-18 tryout camp TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Sam Reinhart is back in familiar territory, as Hockey Canada invited the Kootenay Ice captain to the national men’s U-18 selection camp this week in Toronto.

Reinhart, 17, made the team last year and helped the Canadian squad towards a bronze medal finish at the IIHF World U18 Champion-

ships in the Czech Republic.

The tryout camp features invitees from teams that are out of the CHL playoffs, and six other WHLers will join the Kootenay Ice sniper.

Eight players are representing the QMJHL, while six skaters hail from the OHL. Don Hay, who mans the bench for the WHL’s Vancouver Giants, will

coach the national squad for the tournament, which is hosted in Sochi, Russia.

Canada will play two pre-tournament games before the IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship, on April 14 against the United States and April 16 against the Czech Republic. Canada will open the tournament on April 18 against Slovakia.

Injury keeps Ryan from boxing event TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

A local boxer who was looking forward to participating in the upcoming B.C. Golden Gloves boxing tournament this weekend will not be participating due to an injury.

Shannon Ryan, who

is undefeated in three previous boxing fights, broke her hand over the weekend, making her unable to compete at the event.

The Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club is fielding three local fighters alongside Ryan in Gage Duthie, Dacun Duthie

and Dylan Clark.

The B.C. Glolden Gloves tournament begins this weekend, which will feature competitors from across Western Canada. Eagles Boxing coach Bill Watson is already halfway to his goal of attracting 75 entrants.

Harper to Bettman: Let NHL stars play in Sochi Winter Olympics C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Stephen Harper is urging NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to let the league’s stars play in the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Harper says he speaks for all Canadians who want to see the country’s top players

don the Maple Leaf at the Winter Games.

NHL players have been part of the Olympics since 1998 in Nagano, Japan.

The league is mulling whether it is worth shutting down the NHL season for a few weeks to let its players take part in the 2014 Games.

The NHL, International Olympic Committee, International Ice Hockey Federation and NHL Players’ Association held meetings earlier this year to discuss the league letting its players go to Sochi.

But so far no decision has been made on the NHLers’ participation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

The unexpected marks your actions, yet you also could be reacting to a parent or boss. Opportunities come to you through conversations and from staying in contact with those in your immediate circle. Choose the right one for you. Tonight: As you like it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Suddenly, you get it -- you understand what has been going on between you and someone else. You can change your perspective, but often you can’t control your knee-jerk reaction. That transformation will take time.

Tonight: Make a small purchase on the way home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You know what you want and where you are heading. The trick will be encouraging others not to interfere with your set course.

Even better would be to gain their support. You will have your hands full convincing an associate of the rightness of your ways.

Tonight: Make nice.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are capable of dealing with the unexpected. Your mood swings depending on the situation. Know that how you feel now might change within a short period of time. Be careful, as a partner or an associate could become controlling. Tonight: In the limelight.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Seek out information that might not be readily available. Figure out why a situation is happening, beyond the obvious. Step back and observe, as you will be able to see more easily. Know that a different approach is needed. Tonight: Join friends at a jam session.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with others directly. People appreciate your time more than you realize. Pressure builds where you least expect it. Others have strong points of view that might not stand up to a creative idea. A boss gives you the authority you want. Tonight: Share your day with a pal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The unexpected occurs when

For Better or Worse

dealing with others. You could decide that you don’t want any drama, but that is what you will get with your present circle of friends. Why not take this as a sign to detach? You can be present without being involved. Tonight: Take a favorite person out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll want to play it low-key, no matter what goes on. Listen to others and what they are sharing. You have a strong sense of what is needed. Tune into one person and work together to achieve more of what you both want. Tonight: Make sure you get some exercise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Allow your creativity to flow, and you will make it through a difficult situation. Your innate reaction draws strong results. Do not become involved in a power play or difficult situation. Others want to be around you, so let them. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to reassess a situation more carefully, especially as it can have quite an impact on your personal life. You might

be more controlling than you realize, and it will draw in only negative reactions. Take some time to clear your head. Tonight: At home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen, but try not to overwhelm someone with questions. You could feel as if this person has pushed you beyond the call of duty. How you communicate that feeling will determine the nature of your bond in the long run. You do need to say something. Tonight: Kick up your heels.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to rethink a question involving your funds and security. Your impulsiveness could have given someone the wrong impression. You could want to change the situation.

You also might be too generous for your own good. Tonight: Your treat.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I wanted to share a bit of what it’s like to be the family member of a person who drinks too much. I know. I had more than 40 years of experience by the time I finally sought answers. I studied brain- and addiction-related research to assess my loved one’s drinking patterns in order to protect myself from secondhand drinking.

Secondhand drinking is a term to describe the impact on the person on the receiving end of another person’s drinking behaviors.

These drinking patterns cause brain changes -- especially in the areas of the brain responsible for judgment, memory, coordination, pleasure/reward and reasoning. And we don’t fully understand the physical and emotional consequences to the health of a family member or friend who repeatedly deals with SHD. These include anxiety, depression, stomach ailments, skin problems, obesity, sleep problems, difficulties at work or in school, migraines and more.

April 11, 2013, is National Alcohol Screening Day (NASD). This year, I urge people who love someone who drinks too much to conduct an anonymous screening of their loved one’s drinking patterns. Screening for Mental Health has created a fantastic website, www.HowDoYouScore.org, where anyone can anonymously evaluate their own or a loved one’s drinking patterns through an online assessment. The website also provides information on treatment options and suggestions for what it would take to cut down on or stop drinking.

This kind of anonymous screening allows you to understand what you are really dealing with: a drinking pattern that is changing their loved one’s brain and causing hurtful drinking behaviors. -- Lisa Frederiksen, Author, Speaker, Consultant Dear Lisa: Thank you for sharing your story and emphasizing the importance of screening for alcoholism. Once again, those who wish to be screened can do so at howdoyouscore.org.

Dear Annie: I have lupus and suffer terribly. Some days are better than others, but most include fatigue, pain or some other symptom. Yet, when friends greet me, they say, “How are you? You look good.”

Rather than greet me this way, I would prefer they not ask about my illness, because I haven’t felt well in 17 years. Could you please tell readers in this position to simply say, “It is so good to see you”? That way, I don’t feel obligated to speak about my current condition. -- Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired Dear Sick: Your suggestion is a good one, and we hope people will keep it in mind. But we don’t believe these friends actually expect a rundown of your illness, nor are you obligated to talk about it. Greeting someone with, “How are you?” is generally rhetorical.

You aren’t expected to respond other than to say, “Fine, thanks,” or some short variation. Because you haven’t truly been well for years, it stands to reason that you would take questions about your health more literally than intended.

Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the letter from “Rocky Mount, Va.,” who thought dogs should be allowed at the funerals of masters who have died. To have a dog at a funeral privately, prior to the public gathering, is a good idea --probably for both humans and dogs.

There is a famous painting by Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-1873) entitled “The Old Shepherd’s Chief Mourner,” depicting a pointer leaning against a casket with its head on top of the casket. It brings tears to my eyes anytime I even think of it. -- Watertown, Wis. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
