Trail mayor reflects on long career in office
After four decades in municipal politics Dieter Bogs ready to retire from public life BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
A political career can be likened to a roller coaster ride - there's plenty of highs and some gut-wrenching lows. But if you hold on tight and with faith, the ride can be exhilarating and sometimes, life changing. The Trail Times sat down with Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs during his last week in office, asking for reflection on his long service to the community. Saturday's civic election brings a new name to the top spot for the first time since 2001. “You learn in politics that nothing moves too fast,” says the soon-to-retire leader. “In the end you have to have patience and learn how to have humility to make any progress. “And if you stay on the right path, because it's the right thing to do, eventually you will win out.” Bogs began his political journey with the drive to advocate for children. He served on the Trail school board for seven years beginning in 1974, which was a time he recalls as being prosperous and ripe for educational opportunities in the area. “At that time the taxes were collected and stayed local,” he said. “We were a rich district and could put in programs that other districts could only dream about.” Once the government recognized disparities throughout the province and collectively gathered school taxes into one pot, Bogs said he saw 'the writing on the wall' and turned his attention toward local government. “I was watching an election discussion and one of the councillors said Trail had so many issues 'right now' that we couldn't afford to think about long term planning,”

A 24-year-old man from Rossland has died after a motor vehicle accident on Centennial Trail. On Tuesday evening, just before 7 p.m., Trail RCMP officers were dispatched after a call reporting a vehicle down an embankment near Rossland. Two other passengers and the driver of a Ford truck were transported from the scene
advised and in that moment, he decided to run for council. He won a seat first time out and served
to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Police have not released the name of the deceased. The truck was travelling on the Centennial Trail near Highway 3B, where it slid off the hiking trail and rolled down an embankment. “They had driven down Centennial Trail, which is not open to vehicles,” said Sgt. Darren Oelke of the Trail and
another 10 years before making a bid for the mayoral job. Through the decades, Bogs has witnessed the city advance dramatically, especially in terms of technology. He recalled a meeting during that first term, when council deliberated at length over purchasing a fax machine. At the time, the city had only one fax, so all departments had to travel to city hall to share. “A number of councillors said we didn't need another and the city couldn't afford it,” he said with a chuckle. “I couldn't believe that we spent so much time talking about a fax machine. At the time most businesses had a fax in every office and we had only one to run the whole city.” Times have changed, according to Bogs, because fast forward to present day, and the City of Trail is ahead of the times with advanced telephone systems, and its own computer infrastructure that includes an up-to-date website and active social media networking. “Things have really changed,” he said. “Compared to those days, the city is so far ahead in technology, and I am really proud of that.” Over his 30 years of service, Bogs recalls the first 10 being “survival mode” following Cominco's heavy financial losses in the early 1990s. “Trail went through very difficult times when the company announced they were no longer making profit and were considering shutting down the operation,” he explained. “Many stepped up to the plate including the city and the regional district, to reduce their taxes by millions,” Bogs continued. “Employees agreed not to ask for wage increases for five years, suppliers took a three per cent cut in costs and the provincial government bought water rights that were later transferred to Columbia Basin Trust.” See NO, Page 3
Greater District RCMP detachment. “They got as far as the tunnel, where I believe they couldn't make it through. They were trying to negotiate their way back out and slid off the road and rolled.” The RCMP press release states alcohol and seatbelts are believed to be contributing factors in the accident. The call came in after dark and Oelke says road conditions
were less than ideal, stressing that the truck should not have been on the path to begin with. “It was icy and slippery, and there was a little bit of ice and snow on the road,” he said. “The conditions were not good, and it wasn't even a road.” Sgt. Oelke says the accident is still under investigation, but there were only three seat belts in the vehicle, which had four occupants. See OFFICER, Page 3

It was a bit chilly on the morning of Nov. 11, yet crowds gathered at the Trail cenotaph to honour those who have fought and those who died in the fight for freedom. Hundreds of spectators showed up for the 10:30 a.m. parade, led by the Royal Canadian Legion’s Colour Guard, and followed by representatives of the RCMP, the Trail Pipe Band, cadets, local chapters of scouts and more. The ceremony saw the reading of the Roll of the Honoured Dead, “In Flander’s Fields,” prayers, hymns, the national anthem and, of course, “Reveille,” a moment of silence and “The Last Post.” After the ceremony was finished, spectators were invited to place their lapel poppy pins at the feet of the statue of the unknown soldier, and many did.

No skateboard park Cold snap snaps meters is Bogs’ biggest regret
FROM PAGE 1 He said during the survival mode period, all the city could do was hang on and maintain because the money wasn’t there to upgrade infrastructure or enhance the community in terms of services.
“It’s time for a change in leadership so my hope is that the new mayor will take the city to the next growing phase, so we can maintain the wonderful lifestyle that we have for all residents in our area, not just Trail.” Dieter Bogs
After retaining his position by acclamation in 2002, Bogs recalls the next 10 years as a time for Trail to dust itself off and begin a recovery phase. “The next third of my time was coming out of survival and getting the city back to a normal life,” he said. “After no infrastructure for 10 years to where we are today, ahead of the curve, that is something I am proud of. Especially taking into account that for so long we could do nothing.” At the nexus of the recovery stage, was improving Trail’s likeness and reputation and across North America and globally. “At the time, operations on the hill had some real problems,” he recalled. “A number of incidents gave Trail and the company an extremely poor image not only locally but in the world. Council went to the CEO and said that the city cannot survive this way.”
The company agreed and gave the city $250,000 to develop a program and form and image committee added Bogs. New initiatives grew from the group’s ideas, which eventually put Trail on a positive national and international scale with the Communities in Bloom program. Additionally, Teck invested millions at Trail Operations in a successful effort to reduce plant emissions while greening the city’s landscape. “We have changed the image of Trail not only locally but in the world,” he said. “But that is something every citizen of Trail can be proud of because it requires involvement from the entire community and the company.” However, it was during the mid2000s that along with the good came the long time mayor’s biggest regret in office. “I have been very youth oriented and yet I am really sad that we never put in a skateboard park,” he said. “It’s been one of my objectives but has not been successful and for that, I really feel bad because the youth deserve it.” After the last decade of improving the city’s old bones, today it’s time to bring in new ideas to enhance the city and ensure its sustainability moving into the future. “It’s time for change in leadership so my hope is that the new mayor will take the city to the next growing phase, so we can maintain the wonderful lifestyle that we have for all the residents in our area, not just Trail. “The new council will have to learn that when you take three steps ahead you may have to take two back. But I say, don’t worry about the two steps back because you’re still one step ahead.”
Officer stresses importance of wearing seatbelts
FROM PAGE 1 “We are still doing tests on the vehicle,” he said. He added that there wasn’t enough information at the scene to determine if the deceased was the occupant without a seatbelt at the time of the incident. “It was a three passenger vehicle and there were four people there.” Oelke took the opportunity to remind the public that accidents like this are avoidable by wearing a seatbelt and making sure the driver is sober before getting in a

Trail
vehicle. “Keep your seat belts on. Seat belts save lives,” he said. “We had an accident earlier this summer out on Casino Road where somebody would have lived if they had worn their seat belt. We can’t stress it enough, seat belts save lives.” The other three occupants in the vehicle were said to be coherent and talking with investigators once they arrived at the hospital. Oelke didn’t think there were any other significant injuries.

Thieves run off with changed-filled parts By Liz Bevan Times Staff
A cold snap has turned into a police investigation. On Wednesday morning, Jack Frost rolled into Trail with -14 degree temperatures, knocking the tops of parking meters to the ground. Around 10 a.m., the meter heads were discovered on the east sidewalk of Cedar Avenue. Some of them even had a bit of paid parking time left. Police say water gathered in the parking meter poles and froze overnight with the ice forcing the meter heads off the poles and onto the sidewalk. Other meters around the city were prepped for this situation, with drainage holes drilled into the bottoms of the poles. The City of Trail was contacted about the fallen meters but before they could get there, the meters were gone. Within an hour, the tops of the meters, with all the parking change in them, were taken away by two unidentified people. After a bit of a search, officers found the meters on the banks of the Columbia River. Police say they were in pieces, but the money was still inside. Authorities were still searching for the two individuals thought to have taken the meters.

After this photo was taken of broken meters along Cedar Ave., some culprits grabbed the change-filled meter heads and dashed away. The meters were recovered by the river.

Pipeline debate looms over Lower Mainland elections THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER Mixed in with the usual debates about property taxes and public transit, pipeline politics have made their way into Vancouver-area municipal election campaigns, with candidates weighing in on a plan to expand an existing line from Alberta’s oilsands.
The fate of Kinder Morgan’s proposal to triple the capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline ultimately rests with the National Energy Board and the federal government, and that process is far from complete. But the project has nonetheless emerged as a major election issue in Burnaby,

ATTENTION CITY OF TRAIL RESIDENTS
SNOW REMOVAL PROCEDURES The City of Trail would like to advise the residents of our current snow control procedures and policies. The City has 76 kilometers of roads to maintain throughout the City and has 14 pieces of equipment such as loaders, sand spreaders, snow plows and a grader to accomplish this task. From mid November to March, the City has at least one employee on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (The number of employees involved in snow removal is dependent on the amount and duration of snowfall). City streets are maintained on a priority basis, which is as follows: #1 Priority Major collectors and emergency routes, i.e. Hospital Hill, Warfield Hill, Fifth Avenue Hill. Hills with extreme gradients and significant volume, i.e. Green Avenue. #2 Priority Bus routes, #3 Priority Downtown core, including downtown parking lots and the Aquatic Centre. #4 Priority Hills with lighter traffic volumes, i.e. Lilac Crescent, Park Street. #5 Priority All remaining residential streets and parking lots. When all 5 priorities have been accomplished, lanes will be plowed and all other streets widened. City owned sidewalks and the Victoria Street Bridge sidewalk will be cleared following heavy snowfalls. In general, sand is not used on level streets except when extreme icing conditions are experienced. Snow removal in the downtown area is undertaken after a heavy snowfall (this is normally done in the evening hours). Other designated business areas will be cleared as required. The City plow trucks plow with the traffic flow. Snow is cleared from the center of the road to the right curb side. The City will not clear snow windrows from any private driveway. Remember, citizens can greatly assist the snow control operation by adhering to the following requests: 1. Remove all unused vehicles, boats, trailers, etc. from the streets from November to March. 2. Ensure that any vehicles required to park on the street are parked as close to the curb or sidewalk as possible. 3. Refrain from shoveling or spreading snow onto the boulevard or into the roadway from sidewalks and private property, etc. 4. Obey snow removal signs. Property owners are required to remove any accumulation of snow or ice from sidewalks abutting their property. The City Works Department office in Glenmerry is open from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday to Friday and all snow related concerns or problems should be directed to this office at 250-364-0840. Emergency calls outside of normal working hours are directed through to the Fire Department who relay the concern to the appropriate person for response. City related calls to the Fire Department should be through the 250-364-1737 number. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable winter season and thank you for your patience and anticipated co-operation.
port 900,000 barrels of oil a day along a 1,000-kilometre route to Burnaby, up from the current daily flow of 300,000 barrels. Opponents of the Trans Mountain project have warned of the potential impact of a spill, either from the pipeline itself or from increased tanker traffic. The mayors of Vancouver and Burnaby have publicly opposed the pipeline, while their main challengers have resisted pressure to take firm positions. At the same time, Kinder Morgan has been running ads promoting the project, leading to accusations the company is attempting to influence the campaigns. Opposition has been most vocal in Burnaby, a suburban community east of Vancouver, where large stretches of pipeline would be built along a new route, including a section tunnelling through Burnaby Mountain. Kinder Morgan
recently started survey work on the mountain, which is home to a conservation park and Simon Fraser University, leading the city to accuse the company of violating bylaws that protect trees and parkland. The National Energy Board has ruled that the company can proceed without Burnaby’s blessing, prompting the city to launch legal action. The company is also suing a group of protesters who attempted to block work crews, though that case doesn’t directly involve the city. The pipeline doesn’t actually get a mention in Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan’s reelection platform, but it factors heavily in nearly every news story, interview and all candidates’ debates related to the campaign. “Obviously, there’s an undercurrent,” said Corrigan, who was first elected under the banner of the Burnaby Citizens Association in
2002. “It’s in the news all the time. People come up to me to talk about the issue regularly, mostly to give a pat on the back and encouragement.” Rival candidate Daren Hancott of the Burnaby First party has resisted pressure to come down on one side of the debate. Hancott said it’s too early in the process, while also insisting it’s not a major issue for voters. In neighbouring Vancouver, Mayor Gregor Robertson has attempted to make the pipeline one of the defining issues in the election. Robertson’s Vision Vancouver party lists opposition to the pipeline as a key environmental policy. “I hear every day from Vancouverites about their concerns with more oil tankers here - it’s a big top-ofmind issue and the No. 1 threat to the city’s well-being,” Robertson said. “The mayor has to take leadership on this
issue.” Robertson’s main rival, Kirk LaPointe of the Non-Partisan Association, plans to watch the approval process before taking a position. LaPointe said he won’t support the project unless it includes the bestavailable technology to ensure it would be safe. LaPointe noted the city has no regulatory control over oil pipelines and he suggested the mayor is using the Trans Mountain debate to distract voters from more important issues. “I think it’s very disrespectful to the electorate because it’s making some people feel as if the mayor can block the pipeline,” LaPointe said. “What I’ve said is that we need to respect process.” Kinder Morgan did not make a spokesperson available for an interview. The company said in a written statement that it stays out of politics but welcomes input from municipal leaders.
Dog walker pleads guilty to animal cruelty By Sheila Reynolds
Surrey North Delta Leader
A Delta dog walker who left six dogs to die in the back of her hot truck last spring has pleaded guilty to animal cruelty and falsely reporting a crime. Back in May, Emma Paulsen reported that six dogs in her care had been stolen from the Brookswood off-leash dog park in Langley, spurring a large community search for the missing pets. About a week later, however, Paulsen admitted the dogs had actually died in her hot vehicle, which was reportedly parked in Richmond. She eventually led police to a ditch in Abbotsford where the dead dogs were dumped. A necropsy done by the SPCA confirmed the animals died of heat exhaustion. Among the six canines was her ex-husband’s and children’s border collie. The case became known as the
“Brookswood Six.” Paulsen was charged in August and on Wednesday morning (Nov. 12) in Surrey Provincial Court, entered guilty pleas to two of the six charges she faced. Wearing a dark pant suit and Vancouver Police Department sunglasses, she quickly left the courthouse, heckled by animal rights activists, before getting into a waiting car. Though it’s been months since her dog died while in Paulsen’s care, Jennifer Myers has a tough time talking about her Boston terrier Buddy. She was in court for Paulsen’s guilty pleas and while relieved there won’t be a lengthy trial, she’s concerned what penalties Paulsen will face. “The hard part about a guilty plea is that you know it’s going to be a lesser sentence,” she said. “I would really like to see jail time. I’m not very optimis-
tic. It’s very rare that animal cruelty cases actually result in jail time.” It was the first time Myers had seen Paulsen since Buddy and the other dogs died. “She has made no contact with the family at all,” said Myers. “There was no apologies, no contact, nothing.” Paulsen was initially charged with six offences under the Criminal Code of Canada and the BC Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, including killing an animal, causing unnecessary suffering, pain or injury, neglecting to provide adequate food, water or shelter, failing to protect and animal from circumstances that are likely to cause distress, causing or permitting distress and intent to mislead police in an investigation. It’s expected the remaining four charges will be stayed after sentencing.

Flooding unearths fossil THE CANADIAN PRESS DRUMHELLER, Alta. - Severe flooding in southwestern Alberta in 2013 may be responsible for two fishermen discovering the 80-million-year-old fossil of a possible new dinosaur species. A 1,300-kilogram boulder the men found in the Castle River, southwest of Lethbridge, in September contains a partial skull, neck and chest of a duck-billed dinosaur. Officials at the Royal T y r r e l l M u s e u m believe floodwater dislodged the big rock and sent it rolling down the river where the fishermen spotted it. “It is rather surprising that any part of dinosaur fossil could survive being tumbled in a river full of cobbles and boulders,” said Dr. Donald Henderson, curator of dinosaurs. “Therefore, we needed to quickly remove the specimen from the river system to save it for scientific research. Due to the precarious location of the block in the river, the specimen needed to be airlifted by helicopter.” Henderson said hadrosaur fossils are common in several parts of southern Alberta but this find is different. “These animals were very common in cretaceous Alberta, but this is an entirely new area to find dinosaurs for us, and gives us hope that we might find more in the future,” said Henderson.

Laws trip up beer calendar THE CANADIAN PRESS REGINA - A Regina restaurant selling a sudsy advent calendar for adults says liquor laws in Saskatchewan are making it difficult to make enough sales. Beer Brothers Gastropub and Deli is offering different beers from around the world in the days leading up to Christmas for $220. But the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority requires customers also purchase food, because Beer Bros. only has a specialtyorder liquor licence. Manager Eric Clairmont says the added food expense is discouraging people from buying the already pricey liquid calendars at all. He says customers are complaining about having to buy food, which he calls an unnecessary charge. He’s suggesting they go for some beer olives - the cheapest item on the menu.
Minister trims expected surplus THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Finance Minister Joe Oliver didn’t exactly spoil Christmas, but he did make it clear Wednesday that the Conservative government’s political rivals will have less money to fight over next year than they might have expected. In a year when Canadians will go to the polls, the federal budget surplus will be just $1.9 billion, Oliver said - $4.5 billion less than projected, thanks in large part to the government’s costly new tax cuts and benefits for families with kids. Nonetheless, the shortfall didn’t stop the finance minister - or the Liberals and New Democrats - from sharpening their pitches to voters, who are currently scheduled to cast their ballots in October of 2015. Oliver, who delivered the update at a luncheon event in Toronto, relied on familiar Conservative themes, casting the incumbent party as a cautious economic manager in a stilluncertain world where voters must avoid taking risks. “For Canada, the recession is long gone, but it’s ghost still lingers in the world economy,” said Oliver, whose calculations include a contingency fund of $3 billion
that will be used to pay down debt if not needed. “We’ve been saying it for years and it remains valid: the global economy is fragile. Growth cannot be taken for granted.” He underscored government efforts that led to four consecutive years of trimming federal program spending, arguing that only the Conservatives’ affordable, low-tax plan for jobs and growth will lead to prosperity. That, of course, includes a new familyfriendly tax and benefit package that will carve out an estimated $27 billion from public coffers over six years and keep Canada from balancing the books before the end of the current fiscal year. The measures include a boost to child care benefits and a controversial incomesplitting plan for families with children. The income-splitting promise was central to Conservative election hopes in 2011, although it was strictly contingent on a balanced budget. The government’s critics and political rivals have been denouncing the idea ever since, saying it would benefit only about 15 per cent of Canadian families, a small and relatively wealthy segment of the population. The NDP will fight

the income-splitting measure, which leader Tom Mulcair suggested had only been made possible by sustained government reductions to federal program spending, hurting public services as a result. “It’s more of a mirage,” Mulcair said of the projected surplus. “It’s based on cuts” cuts to vital services like railway inspections and services for veterans, he said. Mulcair offered some campaign-like promises of his own Wednesday. An NDP government would not raise personal income taxes, but would rather increase corporate taxes cut back by the Tories, he said. Oliver’s update projects Canada will run a $2.9-billion shortfall this fiscal year, matching its projection in the federal February budget. Liberal finance critic Scott Brison pointed to figures in the update that show the government’s recent cost-cutting measures used up $3.2 billion this year. “We’re in deficit because of the Conservatives’ recent, regressive tax-policy announcements,” said Brison, whose party has promised to repeal income-splitting measure if it wins power next year. “To put all Canadians into a fiscal deficit to benefit 15

per cent of Canadians with income splitting is maybe good Conservative politics, but it’s bad Canadian economics.” The fall update also included a cautionary tale about Canadian crude oil, the price of which has been falling precipitously in recent months. Cheaper crude could drain $500 million from Ottawa’s bank account this year and $2.5 billion per year between 2015 to 2019, and cut Canada’s nominal GDP by $3 billion in 2014 and $16 billion annually
from 2015 to 2019, it warned. “It is a prudent projection, adjusted for the recent decline in oil prices,” Oliver said. Nonetheless, the federal government is projecting five straight years of surpluses: $4.3 billion in 2016-17, $5.1 billion in 2017-18, $6.8 billion in 201819 and $13.1 billion in 2019-20. In the short term, however, it remains unclear whether the government will have enough leftover cash to introduce additional cost-cutting measures for Canadians.

Power is in the hands of voters on Saturday
O
n Saturday, B r i t i s h Columbians will head to the polls to choose more than 2,000 local officials for councils, school boards, regional districts, parks boards and the Islands Trust. Considering that local councils in B.C. spend more than $8 billion a year of our money, it’s a bit of a paradox that most voters – if it’s anything like last time – will find something else to do this Saturday. In 2011, some communities saw turnouts of less than 30 per cent. In Vancouver, 34.6 per cent of voters cast a ballot. So maybe it’s time to spark some inter-provincial rivalry for bragging rights. In Winnipeg, more than 50 per cent of the city’s 468,713 voters cast a ballot last month. In Toronto, turnout exceeded 60 per cent. The last time that level was reached in a B.C. election was in 1991. One thing is different. Vancouver’s municipal parties have released their donor lists before voters head to the polls,
not three months after. Kudos. Last week, Vision Vancouver reported $2.3 million in donations. Corporate donations accounted for 60.8 per cent of the haul and unions 14 per cent. The NPA reported donations of $2.1 million and the second largest donation in Vancouver’s history at $360,000 from Peter Armstrong’s Great Canadian Railtour Company. All in, Armstrong has donated $470,000 to the NPA through additional personal and corporate cheques. That’s enough to have covered Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s 2013 re-election budget, with $79,000 to spare. Calgary has about a quarter of a million more voters than Vancouver. Armstrong could have covered the spending limit of two candidates running for mayor of Winnipeg and still have $67,000 left over. Winnipeg has roughly 20,000 more voters than Vancouver. Or he could have covered the $386,556 spend-

ing limit for a candidate running to be mayor of Mississauga, a ceiling described by one writer at the Mississauga News as “astronomical.” One small wrinkle: in Calgary, Armstrong’s generosity would be limited to $5,000, in Winnipeg $1,500 and it would have to be a personal cheque, and in Mississauga he’d be cut off at $750. Don’t be fooled by local politicians who like to tell you that obscene campaign spending is a Vancouver phenomenon. They’re wrong. In 2011, Victoria mayor Dean Fortin spent $76,722 in his successful bid for re-election. In a city with 65,468 voters that worked out to $1.17 per voter.
Apply that level of spending to the number of voters in Vancouver and it’s $490,100. Or consider Regina with more than twice the number of voters than Victoria. Last time out the expense limit in that city was $62,635 for a mayoralty candidate or 39.8 cents per voter. Meanwhile over at the ledge, the B.C. government thought the midst of the 2014 civic election was a dandy time to hold public hearings on new campaign finance rules for 2018. Go figure. Most communities in B.C. don’t have municipal parties, which may be a good thing, but they’re not short of slates. In the coming days one group or another may ask you to vote for one slate or another. In theory sounds great: one council, all happy campers, all headed in the same direction. But would you really want one party to hold all the seats in the B.C. legislature? It’s a tougher hill to climb, only two parties have ever done it in Canada: PEI’s Walter Lea achieved the feat in 1935
and New Brunswick’s Frank McKenna in 1987. Neither did it twice. So why the push for it at the local level? Look at all the candidates, check their websites, visit their Facebook pages, google them to find out more about their positions on issues before they became a candidate and how they interact with people online. Might give you a clue about how they’ll interact with constituents if elected. Don’t overlook someone who may bring something to the table, even if you don’t share all their policy views. Think of it as ‘the best and brightest slate.’ And if you believe it’s time for some house cleaning at city hall don’t overlook the power of incumbency. Thirty-eight incumbents sought reelection as city councillors in Toronto last month and 37 were re-elected. But choose wisely, because this time you’re stuck with them for four years. Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Riverfront Centre not worthy expense I often hear people say “downtown Trail needs something new,” when talking about the upcoming referendum regarding the Trail Riverfront Centre. I totally agree with that comment but would add that Trail needs something new that we haven’t already got. We already have a library and we already have a museum. I am not sure about the museum but the library currently seems to be meeting our needs as it is. If there is a need to expand either of these facilities, why not expand into the vastly under-utilized Cominco Gym. Parking at the current facility is very adequate and probably much better than if the facilities are moved into the downtown core where parking is usually very tight and sometimes non existent. In an article in the Trail Times on Aug. 28, 2014 the Chair of the Trail and District Public Library is quoted as saying “people seem to be enthusiastic about moving the library because the access is worse now than it’s ever been.” If this is the best reason that
we can come up with to borrow 6.5 million dollars I would strongly suggest that a “NO” vote would be in order. The City of Trail, just last year, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars changing the access to the Trail Memorial Centre. If the access is that bad it would cost a lot less than 6.5 million to change or alter. I have made many recent visits to the City of Calgary in recent months and have noticed that the City of Calgary is now placing libraries in current recreation facilities. It appears as if their reason for doing this is that when one member of a family are playing sports or taking lessons etc. another member of the family could utilize the library. It sounds reasonable to me, but it looks like we are planning to do the opposite and move our library out of a current recreation facility. Is it possible that the proposed movement of our library will result in decreased usage? The City of Trail has yet to be transparent and advise the taxpayers how much the operating costs will be in the new facility compared to the cur-
rent operating costs nor have we been advised what will happen to the current library space if the library is re-located. We have also not been advised how much rent revenue will be lost for the City if this referendum passes. No one has bothered to advise the taxpayers what the cost of borrowing 6 or 6.5 million dollars will be. I would anticipate that the interest on this amount would in itself add several million dollars to the cost of the project. As taxpayers we need to be given all the facts not just certain facts that would appear to justify the project. I am not against borrowing money, but if we are going to borrow an enormous amount of money such as 6.5 million dollars, let’s borrow for something that we really need – something that will not only retain our diminishing population, but something that will provide an attraction or an incentive for people to relocate to Trail. This referendum project will do neither of these in my opinion. Bruce Taylor Trail
‘Cheat’ reaction a scary thought A scary thing happened at a Halloween party. We were playing the game “catch-phrase” and to get her team to say the word “study,’ a participant said “what students do.” The whole room in unison said “cheat.” As a former professor at Queen’s University, I knew that to be sad but true because copy-
ing was prevalent at a top university in Canada. While at Queens, I taught a lab and I changed the lab questions. Several students still answered a question from the previous year. I gave them each a zero and handed back the labs. One student, instead of

A memorial service will be organized and held at a later date. Lyn’s family would like to thank her workplace friends and neighbors who spent many hours at her side, offering support and comfort to their mother and them through the hardest times. Your presence was so important and very much appreciated.

Buddy was a strong proponent of peace and was active in several peace groups. He was known among his friends and family as a heartfelt socialist and never failed to make his views public. He was predeceased by his parents Genevieve and James, his siblings Leonard, Robert and Vera, and his former wife Bette. Buddy is survived by his long-time partner Maureen Mitchell, his daughter Dawn (Peter), his sons Gordon (Anne), Paul (Giselle) and Vincent (Shellee), and seven grandchildren. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Buddy’s life will be held at a later date. In loving memory of Buddy a donation to the charity of your choice would be most appreciated.
Kevin Vickers
House of Commons sergeant-atarms feted at security conference THE CANADIAN PRESS JERUSALEM Hailed as a hero at home, the House of Commons’ sergeantat-arms is now getting a celebrity welcome abroad. But Kevin Vickers is greeting the international attention with the same modesty that characterized his response to the outpouring of support at home in the wake of the deadly attacks of Oct. 22. In Jerusalem to attend an international security conference on Wednesday, Vickers was invited to meet Israel’s prime minister and other high-ranking government officials and was honoured by the Israeli parliament, the Knesset. He said the people at the Knesset reminded him of the team he has around him in Ottawa. “Though I’m honoured to think (you’re)
excited about me, I wish and hope you realize it’s about the entire team that performed very well on that day,” he said on a video circulated by Israeli officials. The trip had been arranged prior to the attack on Parliament Hill, where Vickers was credited with taking the final, fatal, shot at an armed gunman who ran into Centre Block minutes after killing a soldier at the National War Memorial. “This terror attack in Ottawa proves, once again, that Islamic radical terrorism has no limits and respects no borders,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement following their meeting Wednesday. “Israel and Canada stand side-by-side in the international effort to eliminate terrorism.” Vickers’ meetings

included a sit-down with the Speaker of the Knesset, who gave him a coffee-table book about Jerusalem. In return, Vickers presented neck ties bearing the logo of the Canadian Association of Sergeants-At-Arms to the Speaker and one of the Knesset’s top security people. The lesson to be learned from the Ottawa shooting is that safety is community based, Vickers said. “This is not an issue just for security, this is everybody’s issue and how we deal with this is by everybody, all the citizens, working together with their local police, their national police to
ensure we have a safe society,” he said. “I think that is accomplished by respecting the dignity of people.” The trip was sponsored by the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, a lobbying group that, among other things, takes members of Parliament and other community leaders to Israel on so-called fact-finding missions. The day after the shooting, people lined the halls of Parliament to applaud Vickers as he resumed his normal duties. In the Commons, MPs gave him standing ovations and all party leaders made a point of shak-
ing his hand and hugging him. Throughout it all, Vickers’ remained stoic, getting emotional only briefly. During a state visit by French President Francois Hollande last week, Vickers was honoured again in the Commons. “This seat of democracy ... was defiled on Oct. 22 by a terrorist-inspired attack, the ultimate goal of which was to attack the very idea of freedom, which this Parliament represents,” Hollande said during an address to the Parliament. “I salute the courage of Kevin Vickers, who is known all across the world.”
Shep Goldberg
Agent guided careers of Retton and Kwan THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Shep Goldberg was more like a camp counsellor than an agent. “There was nothing phoney or manipulative about him,” Jo-Ann Barnas, Olympics reporter for the Detroit Free Press from 1996-2012 said of Goldberg, who died Tuesday at age 65. “As one of the leading sports agents in the Olympic world, he was a powerful man but a gentle soul. He was golden.” The man who guided the careers of Mary Lou Retton and Michelle Kwan, died of pancreatic cancer, his family confirmed. Goldberg also worked with 2010 Olympic figure skating champion Evan Lysacek and currently was representing 2014 Olympian Jason Brown. “Shep lived his life and conducted business with loyalty, compassion, dignity, and ethics ... things that are becoming less common in today’s world,” Lysacek said. “He was a rare man, and a rare friend. I miss him already.” A native of Philadelphia, Goldberg was a public relations director for the Oakland Athletics and Seals when both were owned by Charlie Finley - hardly an easy job. He held the same position for the Lakers and the Los Angeles Forum
in the 1970s. In 1984, Retton became the first U.S. woman to win the gymnastics all-around gold medal in an Olympics. Goldberg helped her parlay that and her other four medals at the Los Angeles Games into a career as an American sports icon. In 1993, just before she burst onto the senior figure skating scene, Kwan met Goldberg. When the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan saga put Kwan in the media spotlight, too - she would have replaced Harding at the 1994 Olympics had Harding been banned from skating - Goldberg was hired by Kwan’s family. Throughout Kwan’s unequaled career, including nine U.S. championships, five world titles and two Olympic medals, Goldberg was a guiding force. “Shep was a large man with a large personality, but he never plunked himself in the middle of any story,” Barnas said. “That’s part of what made the buildup to the 1998 Nagano Olympics - Michelle vs. Tara (Lipinski) - so great. The athletes were centre stage, not the agents.” Goldberg also worked briefly with 2000 Olympic wrestling champion Rulon Gardner.

Smokies stymied by Cents’ goalie
Jim Bailey photo
Former Trail Smoke Eater and current Merritt Centennial defenceman Shane Poulsen, 4, clears the puck after Smokie forward Kienan Scott was denied by Merritt goalie Anthony Pupplo. The Cents’ netminder was unbeatable Tuesday night at the Cominco Arena stopping 45 shots in a 2-1 Cents victory. By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
Call the cops, the Trail Smoke Eaters were robbed by Merritt Centennial goalie Anthony Pupplo on Tuesday night at the Cominco Arena, in a close 2-1 loss to their Interior division rival. The Smokies threw 46 shots at the Cents’ netminder, but could only beat Pupplo once in the Remembrance Day game. “(Starter) Jonah Imoo has been out for about a month, he played a couple games here recently but he’s still not 100 per cent, so it’s been a lot of work on Anthony, and for him to have a game like he did tonight it’s a really big boost for our team.” said Merritt coach Luke Pierce. Despite a litany of great scoring chances, the Smokies didn’t come close to matching their seven-goal output in their last victory, a 7-5 triumph over the Cents on Halloween. The loss extended Trail’s losing streak to five games, including three at home this week, while Merritt won for just the second time in their last six matches. The Centennials’ John Schiavo would net the winner, after Trail’s Charlie
Zuccarini was sent off for hooking.Schiavo one-timed a Michael Ederer cross-ice pass from the left hash-mark to give Merritt a 2-0 lead with just under six minutes to play in regulation. It was Schiavo’s team leading 13th goal and 21st point as the Centennials moved into a tie for third place in the BCHL Interior division with the Vernon Vipers. “We needed it,” said Pierce. “We’ve been struggling on the road, it just becomes a mental thing more than anything a bit of a block there. Our first period we were slow and struggled. Our goaltender kept us in the game in the first and I thought we built off of that, and did a real good job as the game went on.” The Smokies dominated the first period, outshooting Merritt 21-4, and had a 32-11 edge in shots after two periods but the game remained a scoreless tie heading into the third. Smokies forward Bryan Basilico hit the goal post on two occasions, and Trail was unable to convert on a brief 5-on-3 powerplay in the first, missing a number of close-in chances. The Cents opened the scoring at 2:36 of the third

period when former Smoke Eater Shane Poulsen’s slap shot from the top of the circle went strategically wide, bouncing out the other side to a waiting Ederer who banged it into the open net. “It’s always nice winning here,” said Poulsen who played 72 games with the Smoke Eaters between 2011 and 2013. “There’s not a lot of guys left on the Trail team that I played with, but there’s a few who I was pretty good friends with and a lot of the fans.” The Smoke Eaters finally solved Pupplo when Kienan Scott scored his fifth of the season, taking a pass from Connor Wynne and sneaking it through the pads of the Merritt goalie to draw the Smokies within one with 3:32 to play. Trail pulled goalie Brett Clark with over a minute to play, and despite more pressure and a late flurry around the Merritt net, the Smokies could not find the equalizer, and fell to 8-10-0-0, in sixth place, three points behind Salmon Arm in the Interior division. With Adam Todd still out, Clark got his second straight start in net, stopping 20 shots

on the night, as the Smokies went 1-for-7 on the power play and the Centennials 1-for-6. Injuries have plagued both teams with Todd and Dallas Calvin still sidelined with injury and the Cents’ Braden Fuller, a former B.V. Nitehawk, Nelson native Cole Arcuri, and James Neil on the injured list. The Smokies scored in bunches to start the year, but have suffered a dry spell of late netting just five goals in their last four games. As Trail assistant coach Craig Clare said following Sunday’s game,“It’s a step back, losing against a division rival at home. It’s a tough Merritt team, and there are no easy games, no gimmes in our division, and everyone knows that. Especially where we are at now, after losing at home we need to take care of business on home ice.” Pupplo was named the game’s first star, with Scott and Basilico taking second and third-star honours. The Smoke Eaters face the Victoria Grizzlies on Friday and the Coquitlam Express Saturday with both puck drops going at 7:30 p.m. at the Cominco Arena.

Nitehawks flying high By Times Staff The Beaver Valley Nitehawks extended their winning streak to five games on Monday beating the Grand Forks Border Bruins 4-1 at the B.V. Arena and moving into second place, just two points back of the Neil Murdoch division leading Nelson Leafs. The high-flying Hawks took three games in four days last week that included a decisive 6-1 victory over division rival the Spokane Braves Friday, and a 3-0 win at home on Saturday against the Columbia Valley Rockies before rolling over the Bruins Monday night. Taylor Stafford netted the winner at 9:13 of the first period beating Bruins’ goalie Kiernan Matsuba on a setup from Sam Swanson and Tyler Hartman to put B.V. Up 2-0. Hawks defenceman Reid Anderson opened the scoring on the power play two minutes into the opening period, blasting a shot by the Grand Forks goalie with assists going to Swanson and Spencer McLean. Grand Forks would draw within one when Lucas Robinson’s knuckleball eluded Hawks goalie Drake Poirier to make it 2-1 with 6:04 to play in the first. However, that’s as close as the Bruins would get as Poirier shut the door, and Swanson would get his third point of the game, taking a Hartman pass and wiring it by Matsuba to put the Hawks up 3-1 midway through the second. McKoy Hauk would round out the scoring in the third period with Ross Armour collecting the assist. After losing his first two games of the season, Poirier has won eight straight matches, and has been especially stingy in his last four games allowing just five goals on 143 shots for a .965 save percentage and a 1.25 GAA over that span. The other half of the Hawks’ goaltending tandem, Carson Schamerhorn, hasn’t been too bad either. He picked up the shut out against the Rockies Saturday stopping 30 shots for his fourth win of the season, while Braydon Horcoff would net the winner on the power play at 14:04 of the second period. Mitch Foyle added a goal and an assist on the night while Spencer McLean netted his fourth of the season for the Nitehawks. In Friday’s match up in Spokane, Mitch Foyle netted what proved to be the winner at 6:24 of the first period to give the Hawks a 2-0 lead, as Poirier stopped 45 shots and was named the away player of the game.

Super league’s top shooters prevail
in the sixth and another in the eighth after a Ferguson blank to cut the lead to 4-3, and was looking to add another steal in the ninth. Staring at three Hyundai stones, skip Rob made one of his patented cross ice, double take-outs to count one, turning momentum back in his team’s favour. Team Ferguson executed the 10th flawlessly, running McKenzie out of rocks, and a 5-3 win to hold on to top spot in the standings. Come support your current Team Horning struck early against Team Fines KIJHL, BC and Western with a deuce in the first, Canadian Champs. then couldn’t believe their good fortune in the second. Skip Ken Fines, already laying one, attempted an angle raise take-out to lay three or a possible four, but it slightly st Ho overcurled, just missing the intended Horning rock and peeling out his own shot rock, leaving Horning with a steal of one. Fines slid too far on his last rock in the third, giving Horning a large steal of Kamloops Storm Nelson Leafs three and a 6-0 lead. Fines got two back in the fourth, Saturday, November 15 Sunday, November 16 but Horning took total con@ 7:30pm @ 1:00pm trol in the fifth with three more. Skip Ken made an In the Beaver Valley Arena unbelievable split double take-out at the top of the house in the sixth, then all watched in awe as his rock kept spinning forward, stopping directly on the button for one, cutting Horning out of two four-foot rocks, conceding a 9-3 victory for Horning. Team Nichol was taking on Justin Umpherville and his Junior Mens rink. Nichol took one in the 1st, then had a wall of impenetrable granite for a steal of three in the second. Umpherville looked to get back in the game with a double takeout for five in the third, but his rock hung, missing the th double and taking one of his own out for only a single. Team Umpherville kept trying to chip away at the lead Doors open at 6:45pm with single in the fourth , Game Sponsor: Selkirk Beverages sixth and seventh ends, but skip Myron Nichol made a delicate come around tap for three in the eighth for a hand shaking 9-4 win.

Submitted After starting the 2014-15 regular season with four straight road losses, the Selkirk College Saints have rebounded with four straight wins including a pair of convincing victories over a powerhouse Simon Fraser University Clan at the Castlegar Recreation Complex on the weekend. “We have turned a corner the last few weeks not only in games but in practices,” says Saints head coach Alex Evin. “We are hoping to continue moving forward game by game.” On Saturday night the Saints’ rookie Ryan Edwards capped off a three-goal third

period with a shorthanded marker into an empty net as the Clan tried desperately to gain ground during a 6-on-4 powerplay. It was the same story all period and most of the game as the Saints put together one of their best complete outings of the season to stymie the Clan and bounce to a 5-2 final. Earlier in the period, the Saints took hold of an otherwise high tempo match as former Smoke Eater Logan Proulx and Steven Pantazopoulos both finished off beautiful passing plays to break a 2-2 tie. Selkirk’s Jackson Garrett and Proulx scored for the home team while Saylor Preston and Trent Murdoch notched markers for the visitors. Rookie netminder Steven Glass was solid
in net and earned his first BCIHL win making 22 saves. In Friday’s tilt the Saints took advantage of some SFU bus legs by tallying four times in the first period. Goals for Selkirk came from Castlegar native Jesse Knowler, Stefan Gonzales, Alex Milligan and Garrett. James Prigione notched the win after the Clan could only solve him twice in 37 shots over the rest of the game. The final score was 4-2 Saints. The Saints will look to keep its momentum going with road games against Trinity Western University and a rematch with SFU. Both wins came at a critical time in the young BCIHL season. Only three points separate last place and first, which Selkirk now holds in a tie along with Trinity Western and UVic.

riage anymore without hurting his sense of manhood? -- Trying To Build a Better Life in the Midwest Dear Trying: You are never going to convince your husband that sex is something he ought to do without. Part of that involves his sex drive, but we suspect another part is a need to control. Still, if you love him and want to remain married, we hope you will try to accommodate him on occasion, in which case, please talk to your doctor about how you can make sex more comfortable. You also can take your husband with you to the doctor so he can bet-
What is the proper way to handle these inconsiderate thieves? -- Mrs. Watts Dear Mrs. Watts: Most establishments don’t mind if you plug into any available outlet, although it is always polite to ask first. But disconnecting lights or other appliances is not acceptable unless expressly given permission to do so. As for a “charging fee,” owners must decide whether asking patrons to cover any increase in the electric bill is worth losing customers and creating ill will. Dear Annie: You have suggested it is important for a host to find out about any serious allergies that guests may have. I have allergies to shellfish and nuts. I can go into anaphylactic shock simply by eating something that was cooked in the same pan as these foods or cut with the same knife. But I believe the problem is my respon-
sibility. When invited to a meal, I explain the issue to my host. If it creates a serious problem (she was planning on lobster), I simply decline graciously and suggest we meet another time. If it is buffet or wine and cheese, I tell my host that I will need
her to indicate what is safe for me to eat. I turn it into a joke, saying, “It could otherwise be a more exciting evening than either of us planned.” I have found people very willing to share exactly what a dish contains and how it was
prepared. I would hope my guests would afford me the same courtesy. We can’t expect others to take responsibility for our health. -- Not Too Concerned Host Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

ter understand what you are going through, and then reach an accommodation that is acceptable to both of you. Withholding sex because you (and only you) are no longer interested can damage your marriage, making your husband unhappy and depressed or, worse, making him feel justified in looking for someone else to fill the void. Dear Annie: Is it OK to plug your cellphone into an outlet at a restaurant, grocery, department store, bar, apartment building hallway, etc.? I work in a restaurant, and people are constantly unplugging lights and other electrical appliances in order to charge their phones. They don’t bother to ask permission before moving tables or to ask what they are disconnecting. Should owners add a “charging fee” to those who want to use their electricity?

Dear Annie: I am a married woman in my early 60s. My husband and I have been married for 35 years. We get along fine most of the time. He is a good man and a good provider. He can be opinionated at times, but he loves his family and friends. The problem is his constant need for sex. During our early years, I went along with it, but he would want sex at the most inconvenient times, like when I was all made up, dressed and ready for work. He has a high sex drive, and I do not. After years of trying to satisfy him, I am at the age where sex is neither important nor enjoyable. Sometimes, it is downright uncomfortable. I do it occasionally, for his benefit, but I really don’t like to. I do love my husband and show him in other ways. How can I tell him that I don’t enjoy this part of mar-

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, Nov. 14, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Bummer! It’s Friday, and this is a difficult day, especially for romantic partners, dates and social occasions. Even dealing with kids is challenging. Patience is your best friend. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Family relations are stiff and uncomfortable today, particularly with older relatives or authority figures. Just glide through this day, knowing that tomorrow is much better. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel gloomy, discouraged or even angry. Don’t let this get you down, because this is a fleeting emotion that will be gone by tomorrow. Courage! CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money? Isn’t that the truth? Today you feel broke

and discouraged. Don’t worry, because things are better tomorrow. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today the Moon is still in your sign but at odds with Saturn. This creates a stiff feeling with others. You might wonder if people are critical of you. (They aren’t.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might feel lonely or cut off from others today. Don’t let this get you down, because this is a brief dark cloud on your horizon. Tomorrow is a better day. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Discussions with an older female might make you nervous. Perhaps this person is critical of you. Don’t worry; don’t take it personally. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to ask for favors or approval from people in authority. People are not receptive today. Their response probably will
be, “Talk to the hand.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Travel plans might be canceled or delayed. Or perhaps you are feeling discouraged about legal matters or something pertaining to further education and training. This bleak feeling is temporary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don’t expect too much from others today. In fact,
this is a poor day to divide an inheritance or discuss how to share something. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. Plus, this is a hard day for everyone. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Be patient with co-workers and customers, because
people are a bit tense and discouraged about life today. Therefore, be sympathetic. What could be more generous? YOU BORN TODAY You are observant and intense about the details of your environment, how others live and how society functions. This is why you like to embrace an important cause. Meanwhile, this is the year you have been waiting for! It’s a time

‘Q’ producer shuffled off show in wake of Ghomeshi scandal THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - The executive producer of “Q” is leaving the CBC radio show in the aftermath of the ongoing scandal involving its former host, Jian Ghomeshi, the broadcaster said Monday. Arif Noorani, who opted to take time away from the program last week, will return to work on Monday to work on a different project, the CBC said. Noorani did not respond for a request for comment but a spokesman for the broadcaster said the change was at his request. “He’s asked for a reassignment given all that has transpired over the last couple
of weeks,” said CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson. “When he comes back next Monday, he’ll be working on the development of a new show for CBC radio.” Thompson cited competitive reasons for refusing to provide details about what Noorani would be doing, but did say he would be retaining the title of executive producer. Ghomeshi was fired on Oct. 26. The CBC later said it made the decision after viewing what it termed “graphic evidence” that he had caused injury to a woman. Ghomeshi, who has essentially vanished since then, has filed
a $55-million lawsuit against the CBC alleging defamation and breach of confidence. He has argued in a Facebook posting that he engaged in “rough sex” with woåmen, but said it was always consensual. In its statement of defence, the corporation said the lawsuit was without merit and that Ghomeshi was simply trying to win public and media support in light of a growing flurry of allegations from women claiming he had assaulted them. In all, nine woman have alleged Ghomeshi sexually or physically assaulted them and police are investigating complaints by at least three of them.
Noorani found himself close to the centre of the scandal after a former producer said he knew of her allegation that the “Q” host had sexually harassed her at work - but did nothing about it. He has denied that she made any allegation of sexual harassment. The union rep to whom the producer complained also said that the young woman, who has chosen not to be identified publicly, only said Ghomeshi had yelled at her during a script review and stormed out, a source told The Canadian Press. What and when exactly CBC knew about Ghomeshi’s alleged workplace

behaviour is the subject of an investigation by a well-known employment lawyer, who will

My family refuses to listen to me when I tell them the new medication is causing excessive drowsiness. I have been told to simply suck it up. My family won’t let me stop the medication. I know I am bipolar, but this does not give my family the right to treat me like a second-class citizen. I would like to find a job so I can earn enough money to go back to college, but I have no idea where to start. My only job experience is some community service I did as part of my high school graduation requirements. -- Fed Up in a Lonely Home
near him. My question to you is: Should I nicely tell him he needs to see a dentist? -- S. Dear S.: Yes, dear. Otherwise, you will be stuck with this situation for the rest of your married life, and over time, it will put a terrible and unnecessary strain on your relationship. Tell him that his breath could use some assistance. Make him understand that not brushing his teeth puts him at risk for heart disease. We suspect he harbors a fear of dentists, so assure him that current dental techniques take that into consideration, and there are various ways to alleviate discomfort. Ask him to come with you to find a dentist he is comfortable with. Also buy him some breath freshener that he can gargle with. That may be all he is willing to do, and it will help. Dear Annie: It is with disgust that I feel
the need to respond to “Disappointed,” who is in support of individuals blowing their noses at the dinner table. I realize she’s climbing on the “medical excuse train” in order to offset accountability for grossing out her dinner companions, yet
I found her reasons to be selfishly juvenile at best. I, too, have a medical condition -- colitis. Does that justify continuous flatulence at the dinner table? Get over yourself, honey. If you feel the need to blow your nose, excuse yourself. If you
blow constantly, politely decline any dinner invitations until you schedule an appointment with an allergist and an ENT. -- Blow It Out Your Ear Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

Dear Fed Up: First phone or make an appointment to see the doctor who prescribed your current medication, and explain the drowsiness. It is likely you can have it adjusted. Also, you could use some emotional support. Please contact the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance at dbsalliance.org. Then check your state, city and county government offices for jobs for the disabled, along with the U.S. Dept. of Labor (doleta.gov) and servicelocator.org at 1-877-US2-JOBS. Don’t let your parents’ lack of support hold you back. Dear Annie: My husband is a chain smoker, has very poor dental hygiene and has lost many teeth.

Dear Annie: I’ve been on antidepressant and bipolar medication for 12 years. The problem is, I feel I am being overmedicated. I want to sleep all day. I am also legally deaf. I live with my parents because I am unable to drive. My depression and resulting destructive spiral caused my grades to go south in college, which has interfered with my ability to find a good job in my field, and not all employers are willing to make accommodations for a hearing disability. My family does not treat me particularly well. The medication helped a lot, but being on the meds for so long has caused other problems, including issues with my short-term memory. I am tired of taking medication that I feel is hindering more than helping. I saw a counselor for a while some years ago, and that did more for me than any medication could.

Leisure
YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Thursday, Nov. 13, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a feel-good, funloving day for Aries. Because of the generosity of others, you might go overboard with parties, vacations, playful times with children and romantic activities. Enjoy! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Enjoy the company of others today, especially partners and close friends. Don’t be alone. Seek someone out, or invite someone to your home. It’s a good day for laughter! GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be careful not to overdo something at work today. This is a positive day; nevertheless, it’s possible to overestimate something. Just remember this. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might throw money around today by just having fun! But in the long run,
you won’t be too extravagant because, by nature, you are a thrifty sign. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) When dealing with family members today, be careful that you don’t go overboard. You might give away or promise too much or do something excessive. (Not really that surprising.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) In discussion with others today, don’t promise more than you can deliver, which is something you might be tempted to do. Be realistic. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a good day for business and commerce. “There’s money in them thar hills!” If shopping, keep your receipts in case you go overboard. (It’s possible.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today you feel spurred on to try one more thing because you’re full of enthusiasm! You don’t want to
quit whatever you’re doing; just don’t bite off more than you can chew. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your enthusiasm and warm concern for others might cause you to give away the store. Don’t do that. You have to save something for tomorrow, don’t you? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a popular day for
you! You will enjoy interacting with clubs, groups and associations. And they will enjoy seeing you! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You make a great impression on others today, especially people in authority -- bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police. Use this to your advantage. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Opportunities to travel
might drop in your lap suddenly today. Likewise, you might get a break in a legal matter or have a chance to explore further training or benefit from a medical procedure. YOU BORN TODAY You are socially aware and have high ideals. This is why you often are an activist to improve your community or the world. You have lots of common sense, but you are radical at times. This is
