Bidding begins for new bridge

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Bridge builders from both sides of the border expressed interested in constructing the new Trail crossing – and that was before the tender officially launched Tuesday morning.

“It's a huge project that engineering has been working on and it's taken longer than we wanted to get out to tender,” Larry Abenante told council members at the Monday governance meeting.

“There's a lot people interested not only from Canada but from the States, so I think we are going to get some competitive bidding.”

The tender package contains 1,000 pages of documents and reference material as well as over 100 drawings, said Abenante.

A mandatory pre-tender information meeting is scheduled for June 17, he explained, noting bidding closes July 7 and council could see the tender recommendation the following week.

Construction is expected to begin in early September with the project substantially completed by May 2016.

“This is the City of Trail's largest capital project in the long history of our community,” said Deputy Mayor Kevin Jolly in a Tuesday news release. “The city has been working on this project, in conjunction with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary for several years.

“The process has involved numerous engineering firms, provincial and federal authorities, who have collectively provided all the necessary components for the bridge to proceed to construction. We are very excited to see this suspension bridge proceed to the next stage.”

Principals ponder grad weekend changes Citing student distractions, Crowe and SHSS consider moving next year’s ceremonies to later in June

BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

On Friday, Grade 12 students will be walking across the stage in their caps and gowns at graduation, but that doesn't mean the end of the school year.

J.L. Crowe Secondary School principal David DeRosa, says graduating students tend to see the weekend, with the ceremony, memory walk and more, as a closing to their high school careers.

However, there is still classroom time and exams to write.

“As the education leader of this building, I can tell you that graduation has a significant negative impact on students' studies,” he said. “I have the data. The reality is that the distraction can be significant.”

Angie Seifrit, president of the Parent Grad Council, agrees that graduation can distract students from their exams, which begin after the weekend-long events are over.

“The students think, 'oh, we've gone to the ceremonies, I don't need to go to school anymore,'” she said, adding that she sees some value in maybe moving graduation a few weeks later. “Why not have it at the end of June? It makes more sense to me. School is out, the provincial exams are done, so why not

have it at the end of the school year?”

Principal DeRosa is already in talks with Castlegar's Stanley Humphries Secondary School principal, Aaron McKenzie, to do just that for the 2016 grads.

“We are already looking at next year's schedule and looking at moving grad to a later day in the month,” he said. “What they are going through (this Friday) is just a ceremony. It is not official. There is no completed diploma in their hands yet.”

Friday's graduation ceremony starts at 7 p.m. in the Cominco Arena, and is the kick-off for weekend events laid out by both student and parent grad councils. After students toss their caps in the See PUBLIC, Page 3

Survey on hold as city seeks potential grant for skate park

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

The City of Trail is hoping for a big civic gift as Canada's 150th birthday nears.

The recent announcement of a $150 million cash stream called the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program means Trail's long awaited skate park could be in for a large bump of federal dollars.

At Monday's governance meeting, Trail council members agreed to submit an application requesting $350,000 for the project, now estimated to be $700,000. The other half is part city commitment, $280,000, plus a $70,000 contribution from the Friends of the Trail SkatePark Society.

Cuebid seeks a stopper

Planting season

T

his is the last of the series on competitive bidding. There were two different cuebids in last week’s column. One showed support of partner’s suit with values and the other showed control and slam interest.

This week, the cuebid asks partner for a stopper. This is called the Western Cuebid. The Eastern Cuebid is the opposite and shows a stopper, but a bid of No Trump does the same thing so Western Cuebid is more useful.

Even if one does not play the Western Cuebid, a cuebid, at the very least, is forcing and asks partner to say something more.

The bidding: West, with 13 points and at least five Hearts, opens One Heart. North looks at his hand, and he does not simply see 18 points. He sees nine tricks which is sufficient for Three No Trump if partner can stop a run of Hearts.

Furthermore, partner needs to declare the contract so the lead comes up to him and not through him.

If North bid Two Hearts that would show five Spades and five of another suit.

However, North bids Three Hearts asking partner for a stopper.

Partner has one and bids Three No Trump.

If he did not have a stopper, he would have bid Three Spades or Four Clubs and partner would have corrected to his long minor.

The Play: West knows where the King of Hearts is, declarer has it. He also suspects North must have a running minor, Clubs. Partner unlikely has an entry in diamonds so he leads a suit in which he has

warren

watson Play Bridge

nothing with the hope partner does. He leads the Spade Two with the hope declarer will think he is underleading an honour.

Declarer wins the Ace and cashes his nine tricks making Three No Trump.

If declarer was foolhardy to try the Spade finesse, East will lead the Eight of Hearts and when he keeps the lead, he leads the 4. West will take six tricks in addition to the King of Spades for down three.

If West leads the Ace or Queen of Hearts, declarer will make an over-trick.

Note: There are many examples of Western Cuebid, but One of a minor followed by Three or Four of the same minor is not Western Cuebid, but is a minor preempt. This example works only for either major. Someone might pre-empt in a minor when the Right Hand Opponent could only have three but nobody would pre-empt if that opponent was guaranteed to have five as is the case for a major.

Music in the Park tuning up for another season

Local

First show set for Thursday

By Liz Bevan Times Staff

Summer is here and there is music in the air.

The Trail and District Arts Council and Kootenay Savings Credit Union want to share the sounds of local and visiting talent during this year's Music in the Park series, showcasing what Kootenay artists can do.

Raymond Masleck, one of the organizers for this year's events, says the schedule is packed with regional artists and even a few imports.

One act is a recent add-on to the series schedule and will be playing on a special night before the Canada Day holiday.

“We have one addition to the schedule as of last week – The Sicilian Jazz Project (on June 30),” he said. “We are very excited about this because they are quite a top notch jazz group all the way from Toronto with Pilar, an Italian vocalist and a renowned American clarinetist named Don Byron.”

The Sicilian Jazz Project performance is still a couple of weeks away, but Music in the Park isn't just about the tunes, says Masleck. The series also gives the city a chance to bring people together and show off Trail's green space in Gyro Park.

“Every musician enjoys having a venue with a fairly large audience to perform for and ... it is very popular with people of both limited income and mainstream income to have music in a nice setting in the park,” he said, mentioning that some people are surprised at how welcoming and lush the park is in the summertime.

“Particularly the performers that come from far away are very impressed with what a beautiful park we have here, especially when we are chided for not being the most beautiful place in the Kootenays, but it is quite a spectacular park.”

Organizers expect smooth sailing for the summer schedule, and hope to see the park filled with lawn chairs and hopefully, some new faces.

“Really, we are looking to rebuild our audience,”said Masleck, explaining that in previous years, the audience has been mostly comprised of seniors.

“Our current audience is elderly and it is starting to slip a bit, so we are working on a new addition for the end of the schedule, and you know, bring in some new people and sell them on the rest of the series. We try and program stuff that would be acceptable to our core audience, which is certainly over 50, or over 60, and at the same time, might be attractive to a younger audience.

“Our programming philosophy is variation and we are trying to represent a bunch of different fans of music.”

The first Music in the Park performance is on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. at the Gyro Park gazebo. For $2 spectators can see the Trail Pipe Band, accompanied by the Kate E. Shaw Highland dancers.

The location for an All Wheel Park in Trail that fits the criteria of a new grant program is an undeveloped area near the Gyro Park boat launch.

Grant application names Gyro Park as site

FROM PAGE 1 With the move, council put the much-disputed skate park survey on hold pending Canada 150 grant decisions.

The Canada 150 infrastructure program was announced on May 19 which was a week after city council agreed to fund a random telephone survey to gather demographics and community interest in the structure.

Grants will be spread over two years, giving a one-time opportunity for communities across the country to create a commemoration for Canada’s sesquicentennial milestone in 2017.

The caveat with this particular program is that money must be used for rehabilitation, renovation or expansion of existing infrastructure for public use

Seifrit says the Dry/Safe Grad is as much for parents as it is to students.

“Students can have a good time and be safe without their parents having to worry about where their kids are or what they are doing,” she said, explaining that as a parent of a graduate, she wants to know her son is safe.

“I know he is coming home safe. I don’t have to sit and worry. This is a night when we don’t have to worry.”

The proposed location for Gyro Park skatepark construction is an undeveloped foreshore area upstream from the boat launch.

“Our thought was (for the area to be) contained within the park boundary that doesn’t have green space we are currently using,” said Davison. “And be something we could improve and beautify that fits within the grant criteria.”

It’s been at least two decades since the matter of building a skate park has been floating around the Trail community.

In that time, BMX bikes, roller blades and scooters have gained popularity, which is the reason the future Trail park is now called the All Wheel Park.

– a new construction project isn’t eligible.

That means, the park can’t be built anew at the current proposed location on Rossland Ave. - instead it will have to be built as part of an already existing site, which in this case, will be Gyro Park.

“The onus is on us to prove it is existing infrastructure,” explained Trisha Davison from Trail parks and recreation, the department overseeing the grant submission. “In our application we have to confirm it is existing, and currently underutilized,” she added. “And that we could utilize and improve it so it would be a lasting legacy in the community and one the community would be proud of.”

The grant deadline is June 17 with

Seifrit says the public should keep that in mind while planning their weekend.

“Just be aware that all the grads will be at the park for photos, so I wouldn’t plan a picnic for that day,” she said, adding that the Memory Walk, which starts at 4 p.m. in Cominco Arena, is open to anyone who wants to see how far the graduates have come over the years.

“There are people in the community that know our grads and want to see them at their graduation. We will have baby pictures and a blurb about every graduate. It will be fun.”

Earlier this year, fundraising had been an issue for the graduation class with the loss of their Cruise Lottery –

traditionally the highest grossing annual fundraiser for grad weekend.

Seifrit says that although there were a few setbacks, and the class didn’t raise as much money as they expected, graduation events, like prom on Saturday night at Colombo Lodge, are still going to be a blast.

“It was what it was,” she said. “We didn’t hit the fundraising goals that we wanted, so we had to cut budgets, but it is going to be fun. The grads are still going to enjoy it, it just isn’t going to be as extravagant as other years.”

THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - A police officer who was gunned down while trying to serve an arrest warrant in a quiet residential neighbourhood is being remembered as someone who took great pains to help victims of hate crimes.

Const.

Daniel Woodall’s death in Edmonton on Monday sparked tributes across Canada and in the United Kingdom where people recalled that he grew up determined to serve the public in law enforcement.

Kris Wells, a University of Alberta professor who is codirector of the Institute

for Sexual Minority Studies, said Woodall put him at ease last year after he made a harassment complaint.

“I said to Daniel, ‘What I need to know is, am I safe?’ And he turned to me and said, ‘It is my job to ensure that your are safe,”’ Wells said Tuesday.

“He knew how important it was to build those relationships of trust and empathy and respect against communities that are all too frequently targeted with hate crimes.”

Wells said Woodall attended gay-straight alliance meetings to work with students on issues of homophobic

bullying and hate.

“Here was somebody who had such a passion to eradicate hate who became a victim of such a terrible hate-motivated crime.”

A photograph of Woodall, 35, with his wife, Claire, and two young sons shows a happy man with a big smile.

The couple moved to Canada nine years ago from Manchester, U.K., to start a new life and a family.

Chief Rod Knecht

said Claire Woodall told police her husband died doing a job he loved.

She also wrote on Twitter: “Your generous outpouring of love for myself and my boys fills my heart. He is my hero, our boys’ hero and Edmonton’s newest hero.”

Word of Woodall’s death hit members of the Edmonton Police Service hard.

Sgt. Maurice Brodeur choked back tears as he recalled having coffee with

Woodall on Friday.

Brodeur said Woodall was known for his grin, sense of humour, love of soccer and his dedication.

“He was loved. He was just truly a good person. Loved his kids.

A great dad,” he said.

“This guy was one of the great ones. It is just breaking our hearts.”

Woodall graduated as an Edmonton police recruit in 2007 and was assigned to the hate-crimes unit in 2013.

End self-policing of expense accounts, explosive Senate audit urges THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Family funerals, fishing trips, hockey games and enough cellphone roaming charges to make a telecom CEO blush: Canada’s auditor general laid bare the Senate’s expenseaccount excesses Tuesday as he called for independent oversight to teach the upper chamber some respect for the public purse.

Michael Ferguson’s 116-page report, released Tuesday, details a litany of expense claims that suggest a number of senators were oblivious to the costs they were racking up, or were otherwise cavalier in how they spent taxpayer dollars.

“I am struck by the overall lack of transparency and accountability around senators’ expenses, both at the level of the oversight exercised by the institution as a whole and at the level of some individuals,” Ferguson said.

“This is an institution whose members have not been required to be fully transparent about their spending or accountable to Canadians for that spending.”

Among the expenses Ferguson flagged: - Some senators routinely claimed the cost of meals, even at events where meal options were made available; others expensed the cost of taking taxis for local trips easily covered on foot; Retired Conservative senator Donald Oliver expensed a flight for what the auditors say was a fishing trip; - Former Speaker Noel Kinsella claimed $5,663 to attend his

The report also found some members ordering custom holiday greeting cards when cheaper options were available, costing an extra $30,000 over two years compared with the generic cards provided by the Senate.

Senators should not be in charge of overseeing their own spending, Ferguson said. Otherwise, they’ll be seen as looking out for their own interests. The report recommends delegating spending oversight to an independent body.

Some senators charged taxpayers to fly their staff around the country when they should have paid their own way.

The new normal in the price of beef

B

eef prices have gone up on average by more than 40 per cent across the country in the last three years. Depressed inventories across North America and higher feed costs have led to spectacular retail price hikes for products like round steaks, prime ribs and ground beef.

Canadians’ love affair with our favourite red protein is definitely being challenged these days by what’s happening at the meat counter. Whether we like it or not, this new normal in beef means that consumers waiting for discount prices will have to wait for a very, very long time.

Rest assured, this phenomenon is not exclusive to Canada. Beef prices worldwide are reaching record levels. In the U.S., beef prices have almost doubled since 2009. In Europe, the situation is even worse. Beef production is dropping due to the uncertainty generated by the implementation of the new common agricultural policy and the end

of dairy quotas this year, hence putting upward pressure on retail prices.

In short, no one in the western world is immune to what’s happening with beef prices.

Nonetheless, despite higher prices and widespread claims that cattle production is an environmentally-unfriendly way to feed the world, the future of the cattle industry couldn’t be brighter.

Skeptical?

Here’s the argument.

First of all, producers who have remained in the industry are making a decent living. The cattle industry has been too often affected by economic cycles, food safety crises and trade wars, but things are much calmer now. Quite the contrast from what has happened over the last few decades or so.

Secondly, and most importantly, over the past two decades beef has been slowly becoming a luxury food product, as should be the case.

Paying a premium for beef is something the market was primed for already.

DR. SYLVAIN

CHARLEBOIS Troy Media

Although demand per capita for beef in Canada has steadily dropped over the last 20 years, price hikes haven’t really accelerated the trend in the last three years. This may suggest that many of us still remain loyal to our burgers and steaks.

It seems consumers sticking to beef will either trade down, buying lean beef in lieu of extra lean for example, or will buy beef less frequently.

Because of our aging population, this only makes sense. Many will look for other more affordable protein sources like chicken or pork. Pork prices, interestingly, have gone up as well despite

lower prices at farmgate.

Continuous, symmetric benchmarking by retailers between pork and beef prices allows both categories to rise, even if wholesale pork prices have actually gone down.

That’s just the way things work in food retailing. Retail prices are sometimes decoupled from what goes on the farm. The most significant case was in 2003 when mad cow lowered prices at farmgate by 70 per cent overnight, and prices for beef products at retail barely moved. Essentially, this means meat prices across the board will likely continue to rise although not necessarily at current rates.

The resilience of beef demand is making a case for protein’s currency in the market place. The market is showing consumers’ willingness to pay for the actual cost of meat production. If the industry wants to address market-based concerns such as traceability, animal welfare and environmental stewardship, this influx of capital can only

spell good news.

This is also good news for natural and organic cattle farmers out there.

In recent years, price point differentials between conventional and specialty beef products are slowly decreasing, giving a legitimate choice to those who want to support different production protocols. For those concerned about affordability, more affordable substitutes are plentiful, including vegetable proteins, and fish.

The cattle industry is doing much better now, and its brand equity as a commodity seems strong.

Peculiar marketing campaigns to sell a breed as a superior product, as we saw with Certified Angus Beef, may not be as necessary in the future.

Consumers are not only smarter, but they seem keen to embrace beef as a premium, high-quality food item on their menu.

standards to protect workers with caregiving commitments.

Second, we also need a comprehensive set of financial instruments – possibly a combination of private or public programs – to better protect the workers’ incomes and their employers’ productivity losses.

Third, more substantial coverage of homecare, nursing care and supportive services for the disabled is an essential component that would benefit everyone.

Policymakers still need to recognize the undeniable costs of unpaid caregiving. So the real question is: How should these costs be shared?

Caregivers are already contributing a lot: A study estimated that if governments had to pay for caregiving provided free of charge by people 45 and older in this country, it would have cost about $25 billion in 2009.

Some argue that governments should compensate caregivers. I don’t think they should. But governments do need to ensure that while providing unpaid caregiving, workers never incur catastrophic income losses or lose their jobs as a result.

Financial and in-kind supports are critical, especially when caregiving commitments extend to several hours a week over a long period of time. This should be covered by public programs.

Only a coherent national strategy will allow Canadian workers looking after a spouse or relative to better focus on their work, their employers to better focus on their mission and disabled persons to get the care they need.

WHL

Cranbrook franchise on thin ice

BY TAYLOR ROCCA

Cranbrook Townsman

The future of the Western Hockey League in Cranbrook is on thin ice.

According to WHL commissioner Ron Robison, should attendance woes, financial struggles and corporate support of the Kootenay Ice not improve over the course of the 2015-16 season, the league may be forced to relocate the franchise.

“Our position is that we want to maintain our current markets where our clubs have operated, especially in the case of the Kootenay Ice who have operated in Cranbrook for many years,” Robison said over the phone from the WHL head office in Calgary on Wednesday afternoon. “Our hope is we can find a way to improve the fan support to keep the franchise in Cranbrook.

“But if that doesn’t change, we’ve got to look and explore

options. We continue to be very concerned about the low attendance and the challenges that the club faces.

“It’s reached a very critical stage. I think it’s something we’re going to have to determine this year. If things aren’t improving, I don’t believe ownership or the league will be in a position to continue to support the franchise remaining in Cranbrook. It’s a very critical season coming up. We need to see more support in order to get us to a position where we have confidence in the market moving forward, but at this stage, we’re very concerned about the future of the franchise. “[Cranbrook] has to be a viable market moving forward. We’re concerned right now, under any circumstances. It’s going to be a challenge, regardless of the ownership group.”

Upon relocating to Cranbrook from Edmonton ahead of

the 1998-99 WHL season, the Kootenay Ice played its first two campaigns out of the 1,704-seat Memorial Arena before moving into its present-day home, the 4,264-seat Western Financial Place.

According to the Internet Hockey Database (hockeyDB. com), the inaugural season at Western Financial Place (200001) was a success at the gates as a nightly average of 3,635 fans piled into the brandnew building to support the defending WHL champions.

Unfortunately for the franchise, attendance hasn’t been the same since then, declining by approximately 38.4 per cent as of the 2014-15 season.

Numbers at the Western Financial Place gates hit a franchise-low mark of 2,227 during the 201314 campaign before improving slightly to 2,239 during 2014-15.

Current Broncos registered lower average attendance (2,162 fans per game) than the Ice during the 2014-15 season.

Despite a quality on-ice product that includes three WHL championships (2000, 2002, 2011), a Memorial Cup championship (2002), 17 consecutive playoff appearances, 16 straight seasons with a regular-season record of .500 or better, the attendance woes have not shown significant signs of improvement.

Robison said the slight bump in average attendance from 201314 to 2014-15 isn’t enough.

“We recognize Cranbrook is a small market in relation to other markets,” Robison said. “I think back to when the franchise moved into Cranbrook and the goal and certainly the requirement at that time was to draw a minimum of 2,800 fans. What we see now, is it’s going to have to be something in excess of 3,000 a game. When you look at the attendance this year, that’s certainly a long way from where we need to be.

“We’re a ticketdriven industry. That’s what determines, ultimately, the viability of a franchise in a certain market.”

Robison said the fate of the franchise lies in the hands of people within Cranbrook and its surrounding communities.

Without improved fan support and corporate support, the league doesn’t see Cranbrook as a viable market for WHL hockey.

Provincial glory for local sensei and student

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

Two members of the Beaver Valley-Rossland Chito Ryu Karate Dojo travelled to Richmond to compete at the Olympic Oval in the Karate BC Provincial Championships.

Sensei Scott Hutcheson and his young student Fruitvale's Meagan Campsall, the only two practitioners who qualified from the Kootenay Boundry area this year, had incredible performances and brought home gold, silver, and bronze medals.

The competition began with a Demonstration of Okinawan Traditional Drumming and Dance amidst the cacophony of a sixring-event live broadcast online through Viasport and hundreds of spectators.

Campsall, competing in her first provincial tournament, entered the age 10-13 Long Weapons Kata (Bo Staff) and girls 12-13 Intermediate Kata. There were some spectacular Bo Staff kata's performed in the traditional Kobudo kata by these girls.

Meagan did a great kata and fought to a fifth place finish.

In Kata, Campsall faced a field

of 16 other girls and in the current WKF rules kata is done in a duel format with two facing off to perform a Kata and judges raise a flag to decide the winner.

To win the Gold you need to do at least five or six duels, alternating the Kata between duels performed with that many competitors in the Repechage system. After winning her first duel, Campsall faced off with the Zone 2 qualifier Gold Medalist Casni Govender of Penticton and was defeated. She then dueled three more matches all with victories and won her first BC Provincial bronze medal.

In Men's Masters Black Belt Kata, Chito Ryu Sensei Scott Hutcheson dueled Sensei Jason Farquharson from the Northern Rockies Dojo.

“It was a privilege to witness Sensei Jason's performance of a traditional Okinawan Kata and I was defeated but accumulated 1 flag in the Duel,” said Hutcheson in an email.

Hutcheson then went toeto-toe with Mark Bretell From Chilliwack and won three flags to capture the silver medal.

Oval provides great venue for sport

FROM PAGE 8 “Flags are important because if I could have won two more flags I could have achieved gold, which tells me I need to train harder.”

In Long Weapons Kata the Chito Ryu Sensei faced off with an amazing newcomer from Victoria,

a young Sarah Doctor who went first in our duel and had an incredible performance. However, Hutcheson was equal to the task and delivered an exeptional kata, taking all three flags and winning gold for the second year in a row.

Support will determine Ice’s future FROM PAGE 8 “We have to determine whether the ownership is prepared to continue under these circumstances and that’s a challenge unto itself,” Robison said. “All of our franchises are committed to their current markets provided they can run a viable franchise.

That’s been a real challenge for several years.

Anytime you have losses sustained by a club over an extended period of time, you have to consider your options.”

Robison said the league works to support its small-market franchises in many ways including monitoring financial performance, assisting with league-wide marketing programs and sponsorship arrangements, communications and broadcast support, as well as a special-events revenue-sharing program.

But those support

systems alone aren’t enough to keep a franchise afloat.

“At the end of the day, it just comes down to the local support, from a ticket-sales and sponsorship standpoint, that will ultimately determine the fate of the franchise,” Robison said.

“Our hope would be we can get things turned around. But that will depend largely on the level of support that’s going to be forthcoming. If that doesn’t happen, we may not have any other alternative but to consider relocation.”

Should the fate of the franchise be relocation, Robison said there is no shortage of demand for franchises across western Canada, listing the Lower Mainland, Nanaimo, Winnipeg and “other markets in northern Alberta” as a selection of potential relocation options, should push come to shove.

At the end of the day, the WHL commissioner hopes it doesn’t come to that.

“It’s largely up to the community to step forward and support the team,” Robison said. “The team is prepared to do whatever it takes to preserve the franchise there, but it’s ultimately going to come down to ticket revenue and level of sponsorship to maintain [the franchise in Cranbrook].”

As it stands, the Chynoweth family owns a controlling interest in the Kootenay Ice.

Each relationship has its own unique dynamic Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

don’t understand. -Missing Dad Dear Missing: Your parents developed a certain dynamic over the years: She played hard to get, and he showered her with affection and attention. This probably started in high school. It doesn’t mean they didn’t love each other or that your mother doesn’t miss him terribly. Every couple has their own pattern of behavior, and when it works, both are content, regardless of how it may appear to others.

We know you think your father deserved better, but your mother is the one he wanted. And won.

Dear Annie: Should I have given my daughter a gift on Mother’s Day? She

order. Or, she could learn to sew and make her own.

That’s what I do, and there is an infinite variety of patterns, fabrics and colors. Knowing how to sew would also allow her to alter any clothes she finds in retail stores. -- P. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell

Father’s Day is coming up. Should I give a gift to my son-in-law? -- Mother Dear Mother: Giving gifts to people on these days is entirely optional.

Some people give only to their mothers. Others give to their mothers and wives. Still others give to daughters and daughtersin-law. The same goes for fathers, and the list is endless. If you wish to give your daughter a gift on Mother’s Day, by all means do so. If you would rather not set such a precedent, you could give her a card. If you want to do something in between, a card with a rose is lovely, or the two of you could go out for brunch. The same idea applies to sons and sons-in-law. There are no rules about these things, so feel free to start your own traditions.

Dear Annie: My dad died two years ago. He was 73. Mom misses him so much. When we visit, she talks about all the nice things Dad used to do. This makes me sick.

When Dad was alive, he never missed a birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day or any other important day. He would always buy candy and flowers and give a card to my mom.

I never once saw Mom thank him, and she never bought him a thing, not even a card. I once asked Dad whether he minded not getting a gift from Mom, and he said he had four wonderful gifts already: his wife and three children. He often talked about how he met Mom in school and loved her from Day One. When Dad was alive, I asked Mom why she never got him gifts or cards.

She told me, “He can buy anything he wants. Why should I buy him anything?” When he called her his high school sweetheart, she would say, “Don’t remind me.” Now she raves about him. I

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Wednesday, June 10, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Unexpected events continue to cause your daily routine to change. Likewise, you continue to meet new people and encounter fresh, unusual situations.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Once again, you’re full of new moneymaking ideas.

This could be because something unusual now affects your cash flow and earnings. Fortunately, you are the financial wizard of the zodiac.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) These are exciting times!

Yesterday was full of surprises, and so is today. At least you are not bored, which is a good thing, because Gemini does not do boring.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unexpected events and situations that are behind the scenes continue to catch

Wednesday, June 10, 2015 Trail Times

you off guard. Do whatever you can to grasp what is going on so that you can stay grounded.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Unusual and unexpected situations continue to impact your world through others. For some, this is due to a friend; for others, it comes through their association with a group.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Once again you are surprised (like yesterday) in your dealings with authority figures. Someone might ask you to do something unusual. Some of you might quit or refuse to comply.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Unexpected opportunities to travel continue to swirl around you. Likewise, you might make advancements in medicine, the law and higher education.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Like yesterday, you are

surprised by events that impact shared property, taxes and debt. Something unexpected will catch you off guard. Don’t act hastily.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) A friend or partner might surprise you today. If this happens, guard against knee-jerk reactions, which are easy to have. Think before you speak or act.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

More surprises that are job-related are at hand today. Just cope as best you can. Think things through.

Don’t shoot from the hip, because you are disoriented.

Be cool.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Surprise invitations to social events might occur today. Upsets in sports results also might happen.

Parents need to be vigilant about their kids and know

where they are at all times.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Something unusual is going on at home or with a family member now, which requires you to be as sensible and grounded as possible. Be a voice of sanity amidst all this change.

YOU BORN TODAY You are brave, daring and capable. You can do things others cannot. The mysteries and secrets of life fascinate
