Run-off problems persist as spring arrives Cranbrook’s water quality advisory has been lifted, but sandbagging continues in parts of the East Kootenay

TOWNSMAN STAFF

Cranbrook is no longer on a water quality advisory, but the region continues to face runoff issues this week.

The water quality advisory issued by the City of Cranbrook on Friday, March 7 was rescinded on Tuesday afternoon.

The water quality ad-

visory was issued late last week, following the quick snowmelt and rain on Thursday and Friday of last week, which created a slight

increase in the turbidity levels in the Phillips Reservoir – the source for the City of Cranbrook’s municipal water supply.

As a precaution the water quality advisory was put into place as required by the Interior Health Authority for those residents with

children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.

Testing of the municipal water system was conducted by Public Works throughout the weekend.

The final test came back clear on Tuesday morning, prompting the advisory to be rescinded.

Meanwhile, efforts to

contain the spring runoff are continuing around the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) this week.

A 20-person Unit Crew from the Wildfire M a n a g e m e n t Branch continued to assist with sandbagging efforts.

ranbrook’s Danielle Cardozo has made it through to the final nine contestants in MasterChef Canada, after a nailbiter episode Monday, March 10 where nothing was certain.

“I have been waiting for that episode for months!” Danielle told the Townsman. “I knew it would get viewers on the edge of their seat.”

The episode kicks off with the home cooks at Canadian Forces Base Trenton. The two teams are tasked with preparing a rib-eye steak with sauce and two sides in just two hours for 150 troops – using a military field kitchen.

Danielle is chosen second by team captain Kaila Klassen, who says it’s because Danielle has surprised her. But at the end of the episode, Kaila admits she chose both Danielle and Julie Miguel as a bid to get them out, so who knows what’s true at this point?

There’s tension on Danielle’s red team right away as Kaila alternates between giving orders and asking for a consensus on small decisions.

Danielle and Marida Mohammed bicker about what to put in the barbecue sauce, with Danielle insisting that acidic ingredients be added later, and Marida wanting to add mustard.

Danielle said tensions were running high because the contestants were sleep deprived.

“It was a late night

the night before for all of us in the competition.

And then we were up at 3 a.m. to get ready for the challenge. We were all exhausted and things got emotional that day,” she said.

“Of course, editing focuses on the drama, because honestly, it is what people want to see.

My hope for viewers is that they won’t judge everyone for our bad days, and remember that we’re all human. It was a very stressful situation to be in. Most of us are able to forgive words that are said. Our friendships off set are very different after the competition. During the competition, it’s easy for the claws to come out.”

In the end, the barbecue sauce is the least of the red team’s problems. They run out of sides – brussel sprouts with bacon hash, and roast potatoes – well before the last of the troops has siphoned through their serving station.

The red team loses badly to the blue team, which secures 107 of 151 votes.

As the red team goes into the pressure test the next day, the judges ask team leader Kaila whether she would save herself from having to participate in the elimination challenge. She responds that she would save herself, because if she was eliminated she would never forgive herself if she had passed up the opportunity to be safe. Meanwhile, Julie and Kaila blame each other for the team’s fail-

ure, throwing snide comments, rolling eyes, and finger pointing.

Then the judges throw a delicious curveball – the red team must decide among themselves who will be safe from elimination. They head into the kitchen to discuss in private.

“I was terrified that I was going to get sent home. I refused to let it happen” Danielle Cardozo The exchange shown on camera is certainly not flattering, especially for Kaila. While her team mates agree to nominate someone other than themselves, Kaila waits until they have all named someone and then refuses to save anyone but herself.

“It was a lengthy and catty process. I think it was about 20 minutes before anyone nominated each other,” said Danielle.

It’s Danielle who starts the ball rolling, saying that since the steaks were the only successful part of the dish, she and Marida should be safe. Since she can’t nominate herself, she names Marida.

Marida reciprocates by naming Danielle.

“Marida and I, despite our differences, cooked 151 steaks and got them on the plate. I couldn’t say the same about the three responsible for the potatoes and brussel sprouts. If I

couldn’t nominate myself, it only made sense to nominate Marida. We may have had our differences, but anyone who knows me knows I don’t hold grudges and I am not a catty person.”

It’s two votes to save Marida and two votes to save Danielle when Kaila finally agrees to behave like an adult and chose one or the other.

She chooses to save Marida.

And then the judges tell the remaining four cooks that they have one hour to prepare salmon Wellington – a salmon steak topped with Swiss chard and leek and wrapped in pastry to cook. It’s incredibly tricky to cook because you can’t see or test the meat to know when it’s done.

Just four minutes into the challenge, Danielle slices her hand open. She calls out, “Medic!” and continues to chop vegetables like a badass as the first aid attendant wraps it up.

But it turns out to be a more serious cut than she thought, and Danielle is pulled out of the challenge for 12 agonizing minutes while the cut is attended to.

“I was terrified that I was going to get sent home,” she said. “I refused to let it happen. I got the medic to over wrap it and went back in with 12 minutes lost. I had 48 minutes to do the same challenge everyone else had to do in 60 minutes. That only made me want it that much more. First off, I

was not going home on fish. Second, I was not going home on pastry.”

She hits the ground running, despite the bulky plastic glove that makes it impossible to grip the salmon as she’s filleting it. Somehow, she manages to get her salmon Wellington into the oven well before her competitors, and plates it up with time to spare on presentation. The other home cooks looking on acknowledge that Danielle’s salmon Wellington is beautiful and are, once more, surprised by how competent she is.

The judges are likewise impressed, with Claudio Aprile saying he doesn’t know how she managed to cook something so beautiful in so little time. They pick Danielle’s dish as their favourite, saving her from elimination. Kaila snips to the camera that it was a total fluke.

“As for Kaila’s comment that it was a fluke that my Wellington made top dish alongside Julie’s Wellington, I think anyone watching knows it was hard work and determination,” Danielle said.

It’s Kaila and Dale Kuda in the bottom two.

Both think they’re going home after failing to cook their pastry. Ultimately, Kaila is saved again and Dale is going home, taking some colour out of the kitchen as he goes.

The next episode of MasterChef Canada airs Monday, March 17 on CTV.

Forestry crews help with sandbags for flood control Continued from page 1 The crew stockpiled almost 2,000 sandbags Monday at the gravel pit next to Cranbrook’s Public Works yard on Cobham Avenue in Cranbrook and another 1,500 in Fernie.

The automatic sandbagger was moved to Fernie Monday afternoon and crews expect to have a few thousand sandbags filled and ready to be picked up by anyone in the City of Fernie or Area A who needs them. The pick up location is the Mainroad Contracting yard on Dicken Road, which has 24-hour access.

Members of the Jaffray Volunteer Fire Department assisted with pumping and diverting water Sunday night at a residence in Jaffray as rapid melting started to cause some overland flooding. The Unit Crew assisted with sandbagging in Jaffray Monday en route to Fernie. The sand and sandbags are located at the Jaffray Pub and Sunrise Grill parking lot. There will also be sand and empty bags for residents to self fill should the supply of filled bags get depleted.

With the run-off conditions seeing little change and stockpiles of sandbags completed Monday in Fernie and Cranbrook, Emergency Management BC has recalled the Unit Crews and they will no longer be available to assist.

“We are so grateful to the Wildfire Management Branch and the members of the Unit Crews who have been working long hours doing everything from filling sandbags by hand

to placing sandbags from Gold Creek to Fernie and all points in between,” said RDEK Information Officer Loree Duczek. “This is hard, physical work and many people have been able to access sandbags quickly under rapidly changing conditions this week thanks to their efforts.”

Although the Unit Crews have been pulled out, there remains the need for sandbagging in the Jaffray area.

“There is a lot of water starting to run in Jaffray and we would like to be ready if the forecasted warmer temperatures materialize this week and the water levels start to increase there,” added Duczek.

The forecast is still calling for a mix of sun and cloud, light scattered showers and temperatures between 8 and 10 degrees above zero for the next few days.

The RDEK continues to remind people to stay off lakes and away from streams and creeks as ice conditions can be highly unpredictable.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and Mainroad Contracting are also dealing with a number of issues along roads and highways in the region. For the latest road conditions, visit www.drivebc.ca.

Shadow Mountain preparing for April opening under new owners Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

Shadow Mountain Golf Course, now under new ownership, is preparing to open its fairways in April.

The golf course is going to be in full operation this spring, said John Swanson, the new general manager and director of golf.

“We’re looking to do a tentative start April 15, weather depending,” Swanson said.

Renovations are currently taking place to make the clubhouse more user friendly for functions.

Swanson is only a couple weeks into his new position but said he is looking forward

to the start of the season.

Swanson grew up in Penticton and then moved with his wife and triplets to Smithers, B.C., where he worked in the golf course industry.

“I’ve never lived out in this area, but I certainly know within the golf industry it’s sort of the golf mecca of B.C.” he said.

The golf course was purchased by the Auburn Group out of Edmonton.

“Going forward I think what we can do is absolutely provide the best service possible and try to create an atmosphere that is going to be friendly and customer oriented,” he said. “Just to create the

best experience possible.”

Swanson noted the stunning views from the course and the clubhouse.

“Really the hope is to get a variety of people out to Shadow Mountain, not just golfers,” he said. “But to really enjoy the entire experience.”

The course also has an extensive practice facility for people who want to come out and practice their swings or who don’t have time to play a full round.

“It’s just about being supportive for the people in Cranbrook and the outlying areas to come to our facility and really have a positive experience,” he said.

For avid golfers there is a season pass. Swanson noted there are also five, 10 and 30 game passes for people who don’t want to invest in a full pass.

Prices can be found on the website, www.shadowmountain.ca.

Swanson said they are also looking to hire for some positions.

“For people who are interested in working in the customer service industry and think that Shadow Mountain might be a nice place to work,” he said.

For more information, contact the golf course at 250-4263306.

Idlewild Peace Park receives international recognition Submit ted

The Idlewild Peace Park, located on the east end of Idlewild Park in Cranbrook has officially been added to the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism (IIPT) list of Peace Parks in Canada.

The ‘Peace Parks Across Canada’ initiative began some 22 years ago in 1992 when the Federal Government and like-minded non-governmental organizations such as the IIPT, began this movement to establish as many Peace Parks across the Canadian landscape as possible to bring the idea and notion of ‘peace’ to all citizens. Canada

took this initiative to the world in 1993 and since then the United Nations International Day of Peace is commemorated each year on September 21. The Idlewild Peace Park was built in 1992 but unfortunately it was never formally registered as one of Canada’s Peace Parks. Over time it ended up neglected and overlooked. In 2010, the City of Cranbrook, the City’s Leisure Services department and the local Baha’i community collaborated to first beautify the Idlewild Peace Park and secondly to bring the notion of ‘peace’ to the forefront in the community and to showcase the Peace Park to

residents perhaps unaware a park like this existed in the community.

At the same time Eileen Braaten of the Peace Society and Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski began lobbying the IIPT to formally register the Idlewild Peace Park and were finally successful in February 2014.

“I really want to thank Eileen and the other members of the Cranbrook Peace Society for their perseverance in getting Idlewild Park registered as a Peace Park,” says Mayor Stetski. “The Society also needs to be thanked for the wonderful celebrations of peace that they have orga-

nized in recent years. It is important that we never take peace for granted even though we live in Canada.”

In 2014, the 4th annual International Day of Peace celebration, coordinated by the Cranbrook Celebration for Peace Society, will be hosted in Rotary Park in Cranbrook on Sunday, September 21 from 1 to 4 p.m. The public is invited to attend the celebration of peace, which will also highlight plenty of local talent from musicians and artists to dancers and singers.

Those interested in participating in the celebration can contact Eileen Braaten at esbraaten@gmail.com.

On March 19 at 7 p.m. in the College of the Rockies lecture theatre, the Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library will show a travelogue presented by the much travelled team of Sabine and Gebhard Pfeiffer. Over 28 days, Gebhard and Sabine travelled through Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil. To mention only some highlights, the travelogue will feature Bolivia’s highest city, La Paz, the giant salt lake at Uyuni (above), Potosi’s infamous silver mines, the capital Sucre, wildlife and river-snorkelling in the Pantanal, Paraguay’s capital Asuncion, the spectacular Iguazu Falls, university town Curitiba and Brazil’s liveliest city, Rio de Janeiro. Entry is by donation to the Friends of the Library.

“You have to work hard to see reward in whatever your career may be,” says Kelowna’s guitarist-vocalist Devon “Coyote” Bjarnason.

“With a blue-collar work ethic and a relentless tour schedule, our goal is to share our music with as many people as possible. This leads to unexpected magical nights in small towns … where you play a show on a Tuesday to people who turn into your biggest fans!”

Devon Coyote’s power trio (drummer Dylan Ranney and former Cranbrooker D’Arcy Booth on bass) has proven itself since 2010 as one of the most exciting roots-rocking bands in B.C., with a thrilling stage presence

matched by astounding roadwork.

Last year alone, the group performed over 180 live shows across North America, sharing stages from Chicago to Alaska with the Sheepdogs, Harry Manx, Emerson Drive, and blues diva Claudette Miller, among others.

Their 2013 EP “Broken Down” is a strong follow-up to their previous albums “Tri-Coloured” and “Blue, Black, and Grey.” And music lovers across the Cranbrook/Kimberley circle can witness them live in action at the Byng Roadhouse on Thursday, March 13.

The band’s musical assault continues unabated in 2014.

“In April, after we finish recording our upcoming album, we leave for a tour out to Montreal,” Bjarnason said.

“After our Toronto-area shows, we’ll fly back to B.C. to open two arena shows for George Thorogood and the Destroyers in Kamloops and Prince George. And then it’s festival season!

Playing the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival last August was definite-

devon coyote ly one of the best memories of our careers to date.”

Bjarnason promises a memorable evening at the Byng for all who want a booty-shaking good time, and he offers both sage advice to upcoming music and some inner reflection: “Sleep whenever possible … and eat your vegetables,” he says — with a straight face.

“Never shy away from

playing a show in ANY town. You never know what it will lead to.

“Performing live has an energy that’s unlike anything else I’ve experienced in life. The studio then brings a whole different sensation of ultimate creativity. It’s all about the music.

That’s what drives us.”

more, so there will be no pleas to Quebec to stay this time, no special offers to sweeten the Confederation.

The “Rest of the United Kingdom” is already there: the English, in particular, seem distinctly unmoved by the prospect of Scottish independence. This may be because Scotland has much less of the UK’s population than Quebec has of Canada’s (one-tenth vs. one-fifth), and because Scotland is at the far end of Britain whereas Quebec is in the middle of Canada. So maybe it will only take two referendums in Scotland.

They should pray that this is so, because the four-decade, three-referendum scenario is pretty grim. In Quebec, it caused the most spectacular case of “planning blight” in recent history. The perpetual uncertainty about Quebec’s political and economic future drove the corporate headquarters out (they moved to Toronto), and the immigrants and the investment went elsewhere. The population numbers in Canada’s two biggest provinces tell the story.

In 1980, the year of the first referendum, there were 6.5 million people in Quebec and 8.5 million in Ontario, and the ratio had been steady for most of the century.

There are now 8.2 million people in Quebec – and 13.4 million in Ontario. Montreal had always been Canada’s biggest city, but Toronto is now more than 50 percent bigger.

Salmond must know that this is where he is taking Scotland. He presumably thinks it is worth it.

KIMBERLEY DYNAMITERS

Nitros put Thunder Cats on life support Kimberley wins 6-3 and needs one more victory to book a spot in the conference final TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats are officially on life support.

Tyson Brouwer turned in a 35 save performance and Bryce Nielsen scored twice to lead the Kimberley Dynamiters to a dominating 6-3 win on Tuesday night, giving them a 3-1 series lead in the Eddie Mountain division final.

Despite being outshot in all three periods, Brouwer was—by far— the best player on the ice for Kimberley, turning away shot after shot as Creston desperately tried to find their scoring touch.

The highest-scoring team in the KIJHL during the regular season, the Thunder Cats have only tallied 10 goals in four games, while Kimberley overcame a tough start to the series and has found the back of the net 15 times over the same time span.

With that in mind, the Nitros aren’t ready to start celebrating yet.

“It’s not done till it’s done,” said Brouwer.

“Creston is a really good team, they could easily come back, so we just need to go in there and finish the job, stick to the things we did tonight. “ The Dynamiters got some unfortunate news before the start of the game, with forward

Tyler Garcia getting suspended for two games due to an accumulation of checking to the head minors. Kimberley was also without Jason Richter and Andrew Miller due to illness.

Creston notched the first goal, but the Nitros responded with a pair in the first period. The same pattern occurred in each of the following two frames, with the Thunder Cats getting only one goal, while the Dynamiters potted two.

Colby Livingstone got the party started for Creston, beating his man down the wing and sliding the puck through the five hole after cutting into the middle in front of Brouwer.

Kimberley seemed to have responded when a scrum formed in front of Creston goaltender Brock Lefebvre and the puck trickled across the line. However, the officials waved it off as the play had been whistled dead beforehand.

But there was no denying the goal scored a dozen seconds later, when Nielsen redirected a bullet from Perpelitz into the net on the powerplay to even up the game.

Just over a minute later, Perpelitz fed a streaking Eric Buckley down low in the Thunder Cats zone, who deftly stuffed the puck home at the side of the net for a 2-1 lead after 20 min-

All the Edmonton Oil Kings needed was one goal to edge out a 1-0 win over the Kootenay Ice on Tuesday night at Rexall Place.

Scoreless after the opening period, Phoenix Coyotes first-rounder Henrik Samuelsson broke the deadlock 15 seconds into the middle frame to give the Oil Kings the lead.

The two teams battled each other to a draw the rest of the period,

and kept each other off the scoreboard in the final frame.

Kootenay head coach Ryan McGill wasn’t happy with a lack of effort from parts of his lineup, but praised the work of goaltender, Mackenzie Skapski, who made 29 saves to keep it a close game for the Ice. “I think we needed a few more players to show up offensively,” said McGill. “We can’t have the same guys every game trying to carry the team and we

SPORTS BRIEFS Dueck sitting in fifth place after weather postpones super-combined event

Kimberley sit-skier Josh Dueck is sitting in fifth place in the slalom portion of the super-combined at the Sochi Paralympics after weather delays have postponed the event till Thursday.

Dueck ran the course in 0:59.93, just a second off the leader and still within striking distance of the podium.

“The track is better than I expected it to be, given it’s been so sunny for the past couple of weeks, but it’s not slalom like we’re used to. It’s not feel-good; it’s really about survival.” said Dueck, who won silver in downhill on Saturday.

“I pretty much gave up everything I knew about ski racing and went back to my roots in freestyle and just tried to find the best way to ski the snow and feel the terrain. It felt terrible coming down, but my time’s in the hunt and I feel like I can make up time in super-G, so I’m actually really happy with how today turned out.”

Perpelitz scored off the wing in the the second period, which prompted a change from Lefebvre to Kyle Michalovsky, the starter on Monday night who was lit up for four goals.

The goaltending change didn’t matter; Dylan Sibbald beat his check and came in on a breakaway to go top cheddar and make it 4-1 at 6:35.

“We have confidence going in,” said Perpelitz.

“Just getting shots to the net and things are going in for us. We’re going in finishing our checks, too, giving us more

room to create more scoring opportunities, so we got to keep that up, going into Creston.”

With just under five minutes to go in the period, the Thunder Cats answered back. Seth Schmidt wired a low shot home after finding some open space in the high slot.

Leading 4-2 going into the third period, the Nitros kept the pressure up, with Nielsen getting a slick tip on a point shot from Jordan Busch. Brandon Becker also padded the lead in the latter half of the frame with a slap shot that went off the post

and in.

The Thunder Cats pulled their goaltender while on the powerplay for a six-on-four advantage over the Nitros with 6:20 remaining in the game.

Though Creston didn’t score on the powerplay, they did manage to get another one on the board with 3:29 left from Trevor Hanna.

The series now shifts to Creston for Game Five on Thursday, where the Nitros will have the chance to wrap it up.

Should Creston win, the Dynamiters will host Game Six on Friday night.

didn’t have it.

“We had some guys that were passengers tonight unfortunately, but our goaltender was excellent though, their goaltender was excel-

lent and we just needed more than our top line playing hard.”

Kootenay went scoreless in three valuable chances on the man-advantage, but the Oil Kings were able to shut the door.

“We got some chances on our last powerplay, but their goalie played well,” continued McGill.

The loss keeps the Ice in fifth place with a three-point gap ahead of Swift Current, who will play the Blades on

Wednesday night for a chance to cut into that deficit.

Kootenay, in turn, will be challenging the Rebels in Red Deer.

“Especially this time of year when you’re going into the playoffs, we didn’t see second and third effort out of some guys that we needed to see,” said McGill, “and that’s unfortunate.

We need to understand that we need to finish as high as we can going into the playoffs and not slip to the sixth spot.”

Curtis Stockton has picked up a national honour from the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association, which named him to the first All-Star team last week.

The right side for the College of the Rockies Avalanche men’s volleyball team had previously been awarded the Pacwest men’s player of the year.

Stockton reigned on top of the CCAA rankings for individual kills, leading with 402, with fellow Pacwest athlete Annrew McWilliam out of Douglas College with 361 in second place.

Leading as team captain of the Avs, Stockton and his teammates captured a bronze medal at the Pacwest provincial championship at the end of February.

Blue Jays edge Verlander and the Tigers with a 3-2 win

LAKELAND, Fla. - Justin Verlander pitched onehit ball into the fourth inning of his spring debut for the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, a 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Verlander’s spring routine has been postponed by his recovery from core-muscle repair surgery on Jan. 9, and his first scheduled start was rained out last Thursday.

The former MVP and Cy Young Award winner threw 52 pitches, giving up a first-inning single to Melky Cabrera and walking two in 3 2-3 innings. He had two strikeouts.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

A hedonistic breeze floats through wherever you are. If handling a serious matter, you might have difficulty staying focused. Creativity spills over into all your thoughts, which eliminates boundaries and opens the doors for fun. Tonight: All smiles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could opt to stay home. You will express what you want, and others will listen. For now, you might just need some time off.

Indulge in the mood of the moment. Lighten up a conversation that could be awkward. Tonight: Make it easy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll see what needs to happen between you and someone else. You could be so anxious for that to happen that you might make too many inquiries. Try to let go and get into the spirit of the day. You will be much happier if you do. Tonight: Let the chips fall where they may.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be more willing to understand what is happening once you relax. Recognize that a problem will correct itself without your interference. In fact, the more attention you give to this matter, the more likely it is that it will backfire on you. Tonight: Midweek break.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will be expressive, despite someone being very hard on you. You might wonder why you must do something a certain way. The unexpected could occur, and it could throw a happy opportunity your way. Tonight: On center stage, where you belong and love to be.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You know when you have gone too far. You might feel challenged and confused by a loved one. Your solution will be to focus on what you must do, and that will give you more stability.

Walk away from a power play.

Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Emphasize what you want and why you want it. Your ability to

Tundra

zero in on the basics will allow you to take care of necessities first. Know that you have more understanding than most signs.

Realize what is going on with a friend who is close to your heart. Tonight: In weekend mode already.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could feel pressured by a boss, a parent or a respected individual. You might agree with this person, but you’ll need to decide what to do on your own. You’ll be surprised by the positive response you receive, should you choose to open up.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll act spontaneously and get good results. Let your fiery spirit speak. You could be overly assertive with someone who is far more conservative and who also believes that he or she is far wiser than you are. Let it go. Avoid a fight, if you can. Tonight: Follow the music.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel as if you have very little choice, as someone else who has a lot of support

seems to dominate the scene.

You could choose to observe, but a partner will want to draw you out in order to have an important one-on-one chat.

Tonight: A cozy dinner for two.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others might insist on dominating right now. You are likely to get much more of what you desire if you keep communication open and stay close to your friends. You could be thinking some very negative thoughts, so try to turn them around. Tonight: Say “yes.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could see a situation develop differently from how you might have expected it to. A friend or loved one could be unusually controlling and might cause you some distress. You have a lot to do, so focus your energy on getting it done. Tonight: Out late.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for more than 50 years and once had a very enjoyable and compatible sex life, even though my husband didn’t want any children and refused to discuss it.

After 27 years of wedded bliss, my husband had major surgery. He developed erectile dysfunction and became afraid of dying.

Our sex life ended. But he was depressed and began drinking heavily, especially when he retired early for health reasons.

Recently, while going through some paperwork, I came across a handwritten note with a great deal of sexual innuendo, and it was not directed at me. This totally shocked me.

The note was written about 10 years ago. I asked him to explain the note, and of course, he denied he wrote it and became very agitated, claiming he always has been faithful in our marriage.

After being an understanding wife all of these years, I now question whether he can be trusted. What should I do? He will never go to a marriage counselor. -- Upset in Illinois Dear Upset: This note is 10 years old and doesn’t say very much. Your husband is not likely to admit to anything, and in fact, there may be nothing to confess. Either forgive his failings and concentrate on the good marriage you claim to have had, or get into counseling for yourself and decide what your next move is. We think the note is not evidence of a betrayal, and you should let it go.

Dear Annie: My 50-year-old son was just divorced for the second time. I love both of his exes as friends, and they are nice women.

But he told me that I am not to speak to them anymore.

I never thought his divorcing his wives meant they divorced the rest of the family.

I love my son, but I don’t like his demand.

What is your advice? -- Nantucket Dear Nantucket: We dislike it when people issue demands to others about who their friends can be. Are there grandchildren involved? If so, inform your son that it is necessary to maintain a civil relationship with his exes for the sake of the children. Otherwise, determine what the consequences will be.

If your son threatens to cut off contact with you if you communicate with his exes, you might choose to stop.

Dear Annie: I’m writing about the letter from “Heartbroken,” whose fiance broke off their engagement after he discovered that she kissed another guy while drinking and dancing in a bar. Good for him. She is not ready to be married or in any type of committed relationship. She is selfish, disloyal and lacking in self-control.

In bars and clubs, the atmosphere is highly sexual, and in my opinion, just going there is a form of cheating because you’re looking to flirt. My guess is she did more than just kiss this guy, but that was the only part her fiance found out about. She probably doesn’t feel obligated to be more honest than that.

We have lost an understanding of what makes a true, loving relationship. It is built on trust, loyalty, sacrifice, kindness and a love that makes us want to protect our partner from hurt, a love that builds them up and gives them the confidence to be better.

“Heartbroken’s” fiance saw the writing on the wall. If he isn’t enough for her in the honeymoon stage of their relationship, how will she behave in five or 10 years, when their lives have fallen into the daily grind that happens in all long-term relationships?

What scares me the most is that she and so many others feel that what she did is no big deal. -- All About Respect Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Sympathy & Understanding

March 12, 1922 March 12, 2009

I thought of you today but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.

I think of you in silence.

I often speak your name.

All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memories are a keepsake from which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never part.

God has you in his arms.

I have you in my heart.

Love you & miss you.

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s definitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at premier@gov.bc.ca or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC. This Message is brought to you by:
