At 2 p.m. on Monday, the Honeyman family will be burying Eric's remains in the Mountain View Cemetery, with a full military funeral and 21-gun salute.

“It is just wonderful,” said Trail EXTREEEEEEEMLY resident Marnie Matthews (nee Honeyman). “All of our lives, we never knew what happened to him.”

The Hunconscious, a B-26 Marauder, with Eric at the ready to at the award winning Columbia River Hotel drop one of the 1000-pound bombs Trail it was carrying, was a member of the 599th Bombardment Squadron in a Open 9am -11pm daily group called the Bridge Busters.

fabric began a years-long process of excavation and identification.

“Through a Freedom of Information request, Danny got the notification that the number corresponded with Eric's service number,” said Scott Honeyman, a cousin of Eric and the oldest living relative of the lost bomber. “They reported that information to the Joint POW/ MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) and they scheduled a search.”

History Flight, a group of veterans who also look for missing planes, started an excavation on the machine itself, but once they found human remains around the site in Belgium, JPAC took over.

The recovery operation took two summers, and when all was said and done, the six crew members on the Hunconscious were all identified and, where possible, returned to their families.

“My brothers and I gave DNA and a few years later they were able to match it,” said Scott from his home in Vancouver. “Once they had the expectation that they might find human remains, they hired a genealogist to track us down.

“They excavated a huge amount of space and found human remains up to 900 metres away from the impact crater.

“The theory is that as the plane went down, the four 1,000 lb bombs in the plane exploded which would have scattered remains over a wide area.

“The other thing that kind of amazed me, is they brought in cadaver dogs, and after 70 years, these dogs were still able to find traces of human remains.”

Eric's plane was one of 10 that were shot down by German anti-aircraft fire on that day in The Battle of the Bulge. At the time, there were conflicting reports as to what had happened to the Hunconscious and its crew.

“The Americans spent a lot of time in the late ‘40s looking and interviewing people in the area to try and find the lost planes,” said Scott. “Some witnesses said they saw parachutes, and others said they didn't.

After three years in business, the Rossland Beer Company is taking home gold medals for their suds.

At this year's Canadian Brewing Awards, the local brewers won the top spot in the stout category for the Seven Summits Milk Stout.

Co-owner and founder of the Rossland-based business, Petri Raito, says the award is humbling, and he trusts the brew judges' opinions.

“Just to be mentioned in the category, and for us to win, it is just a real honour.

We know how privileged we are.” he said.

“It comes from certified beer judges, so they know what they are doing. They are all blindfolded so there is no favouritism. They are using only their palettes.”

Raito described the brewery's winning stout as smooth and balanced.

“It is a milk stout, so it is sweet, but it is roasted barley, chocolate malt and it has those traditional stout flavours,” he said.

“There is a little bit of lactose in there, and that is what can make it balanced. It gives you that mouth feel that is ever so subtle.

Some people would be able to notice it, and

The Rossland Beer Company’s Seven Summits Milk Stout (above) won a gold medal in its category at the 2015 Canadian Brewing Awards in Niagara Falls, Ont., on June 8. Below, Rossland Beer Company co-owners Petri Raito (right) and Ryan Arnaud celebrate with a toast to the victor.

Tires, rims, oil changes, shocks, struts and all brake work.

“Everyone has been so awesome. And of course, our family and friends. We wouldn't have been able to do this without them.

They are the backbone.

The people behind the scene are what makes this stuff happen.”

The company got its start just down the Rossland hill, in Trail, three years ago, and is continuing to grow.

“We will never forget where we started,” said Raito. “We started off in Trail, very small with our bootstrapping mentality. We were brewing everyday, bottling everyday and fine tuning our business practices. We love Trail and we definitely appreciate the community.”

The grand opening for the Rossland Beer Company's new lounge, at 1990-A Columbia Ave., is at 3 p.m. on Saturday and runs until 7 p.m. on Sunday. The brewery is also having a raffle and first prize is a golden growler – a jug that allows the owner one free refill per week for a year.

others can't. It is a 5.9 per cent, so it is up there, but it is a very smooth stout.”

The Seven Summits Milk Stout isn't the first winning beer produced at the Columbia Avenue brewery in Rossland. Last year, its Paydirt Pale Ale took home accolades from the B.C. Beer Awards.

However, winning gold medals and recognition aren't the only things Raito and his business and brewing partner, Ryan Arnaud, are thinking about. This weekend, the Rossland Beer Company is celebrating its third year in business, end of its first year in Rossland and the opening of a new lounge and outdoor tasting patio.

“The lounge is ready and fully licensed,” said Raito. “This Saturday, we are going to be doing a ribbon cutting ceremony and the mayor is going to be there. It is all coming together and we have been super happy.

For us to be where we are now, we are just ecstatic.”

Raito says that none of the Rossland Beer Company's accomplishments would have been possible without the support of locals and the surrounding communities.

“It has been overwhelming to hear the buzz,” he said.

Emcon workers were busy replacing the guardrails and support posts along the south side of the Victoria St. Bridge this week. The replacement of over 90 posts and railing serve to protect the bridge structure from vehicle accidents as well as pedestrians walking over the bridge, which was built in 1961.

Many members of the Honeyman family live in different places in B.C., from Kimberley to Vancouver to Trail.

Matthews says Honeymans are coming from all over to be here when their long lost relative is laid in his final resting place, giving the family the possibility for a reunion as well.

“We have a big extended family,” she said. “This is going to be such an honour and a chance for all of us to be together.

People are coming from all over. It is about reconnecting for us. This is such an opportunity to have a Honeyman reunion and honour one of us, who as a young man, went off and I am sure was hoping

On June 20, Eric’s remains will be escorted from the DNA testing facility in Pearl Harbour, Hawaii to Castlegar airport, where they will be met with a formal receiving line and ceremony before being interred on Monday afternoon.

Following the Mountain View Cemetery military ceremony, the Honeymans will be gathering at Warfield Community Hall for a reception and reunion.

The Trail burial and ceremony isn’t the only event set to honour Eric and his sacrifice in The Battle of the Bulge.

In August, there is going to be a funeral for the crew of the Hunconscious at the Army’s military burial grounds – Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

Three Honeyman cousins will be making their way to Arlington for the ceremony, representing the Honeymans and honouring Eric.

Local Smoke N Steel Car Show dance details

By Times Staff S a t u r d a y night’s dance addition to the annual Smoke N Steel Cruizn the Columbia Car Show will be a first for the club.

The dance, which is open the public, gets underway when doors open at 7:30 p.m.

However, organizers remind everyone that tickets will not be available at the door. They must be purchased in advance at the car show Saturday at Gyro Park.

There will be a cash bar at the dance and tickets include an evening snack. As well there will be numerous prizes and a 50-50 draw.

The car show goes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will feature a wide array of vintage, classic, new and rebuilt vehicles on display.

For the second consecutive year, a contingent of Corvettes from the Spokane club are expected to make the journey north for the show.

The trophy presentations for the top vehicles in the show will take place at 3 p.m.

Support events that help community grow

T

hanks to the generosity and civic mindedness of Teck, the City of Trail via Communities in Bloom has been privileged to conduct a garden contest, garden tour, and a “tea.”

Last year the prizes were, for the first time, money. This year there is another big change. The “tea” is being recognized for what it has always been – a luncheon.

The luncheon venue will be at the Local 480 facility instead of Tadanac.

Why the changes?

Why this article?

incrEDIBLE trail will not grow. If it does not grow, the garden will die.

If the garden dies, I will not have any fruits for my labour.

Why would anyone plant a seed then choose not to water it?

Why would an entire city allow a seed to die for lack of a bit of attention?

There are many very nice gardens in

Trail. There are few gardeners that will enter the contest without being prodded. This year there will be no prodding.

The prize money will go unclaimed.

The applications are available at City Hall. Stop by and pick one up.

There are many categories of gardening available to enter.

Everything from xeroscaping to kids’ gardens to containers to vegetable gardens and about six or eight more categories are just waiting for you to claim some prize money.

The same situation is true of the luncheon. It is a very nice opportunity to just relax over some good

food, a glass of wine, and visit with friends.

But you have to show up first. The tickets to the luncheon do not even cover the cost.

Teck generously underwrites that also.

Attendance last year was only about 50 people. I find it difficult to believe that only 50 people eat lunch on any random Saturday in Trail!

I do not believe that anyone in this town is a renowned world-class gardener.

We are all amateurs.

Do not feel intimidated. Entering is free.

And I know that last year there were some very surprised winners.

But winning is not the only reason to

Volunteer efforts at the core of Montrose success

W

elcome to a great and early start to summer everyone!

We are so fortunate to live in an area that has a great climate, many outdoor activities and safe communities for all of us to raise our children and be with our family and friends.

The past week has been busy in the Village of Montrose as we celebrated at our Volunteer Appreciation evening with a wine and cheese reception last Thursday, June 4. We congratulated Debbie Sedgewick for her many years of volunteer work with the Community Service award.

The following few days were very busy as many residents enjoyed Montrose Family Day last Saturday, June 8.

To start the day, many

residents and visitors hiked the Antennae Trail and were very much ready for the pancake breakfast that followed the hike.

We had a great turnout for the parade along with great food and activities for the children throughout the warm afternoon.

Early in the evening the firemen cooked a delicious steak dinner to round out the events of the day. We are all so thankful and appreciative of the incredible volunteers that we have in our community!

We want to thank the Montrose Recreation Commission and the team of volunteers for a tremendous effort so that all of us could truly enjoy the day!

One of the top priority issues that we discussed at election time was recreation. We, the Beaver Valley

JOE

DANCHUK

Community Comment Recreation Committee, have begun the negotiation process with the City of Trail.

We are hopeful that we will make positive progress with this issue.

One of the other issues that have been concerning our residents is the crosswalks that cross the highway. We have applied for a grant to make significant improvements to these crossings.

Additionally, our Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Bryan Teasdale has done an excellent job of finding appropriate grants and completing applications also for waste water upgrades, streetlight retrofits and improvements to the skateboard park.

We are beginning the planning for the Community Garden with the selection of the site very soon.

We have some volunteers although, anyone who is interested in helping out we would very much welcome them to join the group.

This will be a fun activity to develop the garden and a great center for some social activity too.

In closing, I just want to say have a great summer everyone, be bear aware by taking your

garbage inside at night.

Please ensure that you are following the water restrictions particularly at this time given the beautiful but warm, dry spring and summer that we are experiencing!

And again, thank you to all of our volunteers and the Montrose Recreation Commission for their great work!

Joe Danchuk is the mayor of the Village of Montrose Community Comment is an opportunity for elected officials from our local municipalities to update citizens in the region on the events, plans and progress in their respective communities. Every Friday, the Trail Times will present, on a rotating basis, a submission from councils, school trustees or regional district directors.

it clicks, it’d be political dynamite.

Over on the Democratic side, things are a good deal less volatile, although not entirely without interest. To be sure, it’s extraordinarily difficult to envision anything, other than a health issue, keeping Hillary from the nomination. But hairline cracks are showing up in the foundation.

There are, of course, the controversies that seem to always surround the Clintons.

Whether it’s maintaining a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State, making paid speeches for astronomical amounts of money, or the questions about where the Clinton Foundation’s funds actually go, there’s apparently an endless supply of eyebrowraisers.

And a few straws in the wind suggest that Hillary might be less than the political juggernaut that conventional wisdom has assumed.

For instance, a new Suffolk University poll estimates that Bernie Sanders, the selfdescribed socialist senator from Vermont, is currently running a mere 10 points behind her in New Hampshire. Now nobody believes that the 73-year-old Sanders will take the nomination from Hillary, but a race that close would raise serious questions about her vulnerability.

As for the general election, new polling in the critical swing state of Ohio shows Hillary just one to four points ahead of the leading Republican trio. And bearing in mind that neither Walker nor Rubio are familiar commodities in the way Hillary is, they have a potential upside that she doesn’t.

So stay tuned. This could get very interesting.

Troy Media columnist Pat Murphy worked in the Canadian financial services industry for over 30 years.

There has to be a better way An editorial from the New Glasgow News When the topic of electoral reform arises, few come out swinging against the idea.

The ones to unfairly capitalize on the first-past-the-post vote count are parties that happen to be just slightly ahead in popular choice. On occasion, with support of little more than 35 per cent they can still squeeze out a majority.

Such are some of the curiosities of our system as it stands, and a factor often cited in explanations as to why so many are disgruntled with politics.

Too many say their vote doesn’t count.

It can also mean a party that’s typically in fourth spot might expect to win no seats, even if they attract 10 or 15 per

cent of the popular vote.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau says it’s a problem his party would address. He seems to be banking on the idea being embraced. Along with studying alternatives to first-pastthe-post, the leader says he’s toying with the idea of making it mandatory to vote, as it is in some countries.

The party has a number of other points it would also like to address.

The numbers involved in winning a given seat, though, will attract the most attention.

One alternative to first-pastthe-post is preferential ballots, with voters ranking their first choice, second, third, and so on. If no candidate receives a majority on the first ballot, the last-place candidate is elimin-

ated and his or her supporters’ second-choice votes are counted. That continues until one candidate passes 50 per cent.

Consider typical comments following an election in which a party achieves a majority with, say, 38 or 39 per cent of the popular vote.

“Yeah, but more than 60 per cent of Canadians voted against them,” they fume when said government moves to enact some controversial part of its “mandate.”

Renewed passion for democratic rights won’t happen overnight. Too many have distanced themselves and stopped paying attention. But finding ways to change the most blatantly warped effects of the system would make them feel less resentful.

Former Smoke Eater returns to line up

By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

A former Smoke Eater will return to the Trail line up to fill a big hole up front, as coach and GM Nick Deschenes announced Thursday that the team acquired the rights to forward Jake Kauppila.

The Gurnee, Illinois native played 41 games for Trail in 2013, scoring 10 goals and 17 assists as an 18-year-old rookie before being traded to Alberni Valley for Jackson Elyniuk and futures on Jan. 10, 2014. That trade-deadline deal would also eventually bring Craig Martin back to Trail as part of the futures clause.

Kauppila will play one more year of Junior hockey before fulfilling his commitment to NCAA Division 1 Michigan Randy Emery photo Tech.

Jake Kauppila will return to play for “He had some unfinished business I the Trail Smoke Eaters for the 2015-16 think, so he’s looking forward to being season. comfortable in a community he has been in before and a coach that he knows, so huge hole up front,” said Trail Smoke we’re looking forward to him filling a Eaters coach and GM Nick Deschenes.

Kauppila played for the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL last season where he netted nine goals and 19 points in 60 games. The 20-year-old is a six-foot, 195 pound forward who brings skill, size, and a high player IQ to a Smokies team that lost much of it’s offense with the graduation of players like Martin, Dallas Calvin, Charlie Zuccharini and Jake Lucchini.

With the addition of Kauppila and recent acquisitions like Colby Livingstone, Kurt Black, and Rhett Wilcox up front, coupled with the signings of local talents Ross Armour and Spencer McLean, the Smokies continue to improve despite being two months from training camp.

Since the end of the season Trail’s coaching and scouting staff has been hard at work running two spring camps and have signed highly touted netminders Bailey Macburnie and 16-yearold goalie Linden Marshall, as well as defencemen Nii Noi Tetteh and Evan Korizis.

Sun’s setting on boys of summer

I

’m with a good friend of mine who also loves baseball. He and I believe most of our ball season ends way too early around here - just about the time when the weather turns consistently into baseball weather.

That said, other ball fans should try and get out to Butler Park this weekend it will be the last time this season the Senior Orioles will be making game day use of that little jewel of a resource.

Even though this was always as much a baseball town as a hockey one, it seems current generations of

DAVE

Thompson Sports ‘n’ Things

parents are just not that into it, preferring to spend ball season laking and such rather than playing, watching or facilitating the advancement of their children in ball.

Children, too, seem less interested in participating on the field than noodling through their electronics.

It’s too bad, because the drop in success for teams which were once the most feared in the nation, at almost every level, has been precipitous in the past decade or so.

Partly it is population drop, but there are certainly still enough kids around that the wealth of experience in playing and coaching still available here could produce provinvial and national contenders if the will was still strong in that population.

Partly it is specialization (here read four seasons

hockey to the exclusion of all sporting else), even though the hockey players we have sent to the pros at various levels have generally also been ball players, mostly very good ball players, along the way - learning helpful team and athletic lessons in the process.

It is nice to see at the senior level a lot of former Smoke Eaters and Nitehawks, but a bit sad that all, or at least all the locally-based, former hockey players aren’t motivated to maintain their skills on the diamond, many after just completing Little League.

Baseball is the greatest game ever invented See SUPPORT, Page 9

The Trail AM Ford Orioles get set to host Pacific International League rival the Northwest Honkers this weekend in it’s final homestand at Butler Park.

The four-game set against the Seattle-based team on Saturday and Sunday will likely be the Os toughest challenge so far this season.

“The Honkers will be good,” said Orioles GM Jim Maniago. “They are always stocked full of college and ex-pro guys, lots of new faces according to their roster but we know several of their pitchers that are really good and they are back.”

The Orioles will likely face fifth-year Honker and starter Jason Salers and Bobby Wassmann along the way. Salers, who, like Trail’s Chris Kissock, pitched in the Philadelphia Phillies organization, was named the 2012 and 2013 All PIL starting pitcher, while Wassmann, also a five-year Honker veteran, pitched two complete games this season in two starts, ceding one unearned run, along with 12 strikeouts, and 0.00 ERA. The Honkers are 4-5 in PIL action and are coming off a 5-2 loss to the Seattle Studs after a pair of wins over the Burnaby College Bulldogs. The Honkers, as well as the Studs, competed in the National Baseball Congress World Series last year and are bent on a return.

“The Honkers are looking to get back there this year so these league games are really important for them,” said Maniago. “It should be fun.”

The Orioles played a home and away series with the Kelowna Jays earlier this month and a pair against the Coquitlam Angels, but it is the first action the O’s will see in the PIL this year, and while they will travel to Seattle next month for more PIL action, it is their last home games to be played at Butler Park.

The O’s were short-staffed in last week’s exhibition tournament at Butler, due to personal and work commitments, but without graduation ceremonies this weekend’s team should field a better contingent.

“We never seem to have a full roster with everyone in the same place but we should be pretty solid,” says Maniago. “It will be a good test for us too and our younger guys who may not have faced this level of competition.”

The winner of the PIL goes to the NBC World Series in Wichita, Kansas July 24-Aug. 8. The Studs were the runner up in last year’s World Series and the 2013 Champion. The Orioles, however, will be vying for the provincial title in Kamloops Aug. 1-4.

“These are our last home games of the year so hopefully people will get out and watch. It will be good ball.”

Games go at 4 and 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Sunday.

Trail AA Orioles will also be in action this weekend as the O’s open their Washington State American Legion season on Saturday with a doubleheader against Lewis and Clark.

While the AA Orioles have yet to play a game, Lewis and Clark have played six games and are in seventh place with a 2-4 record in the AA WSABL National League standings.

The games go at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Saturday at Butler.

Sports Canada faces Swiss in second round

THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada has clawed its way into the knockout rounds at the Women’s World Cup. Now to advance, it must do what it has failed to do in five previous tournaments - beat a team from Europe.

Going into Sunday’s round-of-16 match with No. 19 Switzerland at B.C. Place Stadium, Canada’s World Cup record against European opposition is 0-9-1. Should it get past the debutante Swiss, a matchup with either No. 6 England or No. 11 Norway looms in the quarter-finals Coach John Herdman’s record at the Canadian helm against European teams in all competitions is 18-9-5, including wins over Britain and France in the quarter-final and bronze-medal match at the 2012 Olympics.

“The bottom line is we know the Europeans are very well-organized,” Herdman told a media conference call Thursday. “They have a very disciplined approach to their style and they’re outstanding on the counter-attack. That’s what they play every weekend in the European leagues.

“So we have to find a way, Canada, because we don’t have another chance. We don’t get another chance at this game. And our style and our approach will have to be better to overcome what the Swiss are going to throw at us.”

Support local baseball teams

FROM PAGE 8 . . . witness to the genius behind it is that, while hockey, basketball and football athletes have all outgrown their venues, baseball is still perfectly situated in fields whose dimensions have not changed a whit in a century. The game is still the sport as well that rewards both athleticism and intelligence equally, again unlike the other, “major,” sports.

Ball people think those people who think baseball is slow and boring are, well slow and boring people.

There will still be some Legion play at Butler, mostly with teams from America, where they still get baseball, as the opponents. I encourage you to support that excellent level of ball, too.

But, if you want to support the top level in town, better get it done this weekend. Game times, per the web site, are Saturday at 4 p.m and 6 p.m. and Sunday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission

F

or six years, the Indian Residential School (IRS) system has been on trial. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has listened to thousands of witnesses, hearing their stories in an effort to uncover and make known the truth.

There can be no doubt that the IRS system was an assault on human dignity.

The government mandated and church run schools were designed to tame the savage, Christianize louise the heathen, and eradicate the languages and culture of Canada’s first Everyday Theology peoples. Described as cultural genocide, the policies behind the creation of the IRS system were an expression of European attitudes of racial, cultural, and spiritual superiority.

We now know that many of the children in the custody of the schools died from abuse, neglect or disease. Others bear the scars from emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Some were guinea pigs for medical research.

Chief Commissioner Justice Murray Sinclair has said that the IRS educated seven generations of aboriginal children to believe that they were no good, their languages and cultures were irrelevant, and their ancestors were heathens. At the same time, non-aboriginal children imbibed the same negative messages about aboriginals.

The legacy of the IRS system continues to influence the present. While the work of the Commission can help us understand the reasons behind social problems that plague some aboriginal communities and attitudes that shape public policy, I have some reservations about its ninetyfour calls to action for reconciliation.

Touching upon most facets of Canadian life the calls to action are broad and far-reaching.

Does reconciliation require, for example, all law students in Canada to take a mandatory course on aboriginal people and law; or, an increase in funding to the CBC so that it can support reconciliation; or, funding for public education to tell the story of aboriginal athletes? The recommendations try to accomplish too much, and implementation would be costly, which could very well be the nail in the coffin.

The calls to action also create the impression that very little has been done in terms of reconciliation. Moving beyond symbolic apology, for example, dioceses have been actively pursuing reconciliation, most notably perhaps through Returning to Spirit workshops. Schools of theology have been teaching social justice curriculum that honestly exposes the evils and harms of the IRS. And in some communities, symbols and practices of aboriginal spirituality are being integrated into churches and worship.

Although not part of the Commission’s mandate, I would like to hear about aboriginal communities that have successfully navigated the negative affects of colonization, and whose peoples are prospering. The success stories, such as the Osoyoos Indian Band and their award winning Nk’Mip winery, could inspire real change and provide a template for both aboriginals and non-aboriginals in best practices for getting along, and in sharing the land and resources that we all depend upon.

Without a doubt, the Indian Residential School system was a blight in Canadian history, and its wrongs need correction. The Commission has exposed its evils, and despite my reservations, the calls to action draw our attention to historical wrongs and present-day injustices that contradict the dignity of the individual and the importance of culture in establishing identity.

Why Saint Paul Was Persecuted Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.

“We are treated as imposters, and yet we are true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything” (2 Cor. 6:8-10).

Here St. Paul gives a summary of his apostolic life, a list of his sufferings as an apostle, preaching the gospel. For the sake of the gospel he suffered “beatings, imprisonments, tumults, labors, watching, hunger” etc. (2 Cor. 6:5). His enemies were the Jews, because he preached that we are justified by grace, through faith, because of the death of Christ on the cross that made definitive reparation for our sins, and not by our own good works according to the moral and ceremonial law of God. Because he preached like this, he was persecuted more than all the other apostles.

The Jews thought that he was attacking their law, the law of Moses, the law of God. But St. Paul was not attacking the law itself, but rather the false understanding of the law that the Jews had, namely that one could justify oneself before God by doing good works in accordance with the moral and ceremonial law of God. St. Paul, on the contrary, preached that only the death of Christ on the cross in propitiation for our sins justifies us, when we put our faith in him. St. Paul was persecuted because he preached God’s salvation in Christ “apart from law” (Rom. 3:21), without the works of the law, without good works in accordance with God’s moral and ceremonial law, but only by faith in Christ, which causes the merits of his death on the cross to be applied to us.

The Jews believed that we are justified by both our faith and our

good works according to God’s moral and ceremonial law. But St. Paul taught that one is justified by faith in Christ without any work of our own according to the moral or ceremonial law, “for no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law” (Rom. 3:20). Only after being justified by the death of Christ, through our faith in him, without any good work of our own, do good works then come in as the manifestation that we have been truly justified.

This doctrine that St. Paul preached is true. It is the basic gospel message, the good news that the Church preaches. It is indeed good news, because we all know our own weakness and that we cannot justify ourselves before God by our own good works, for we are always committing new sins, even if only sins of thought, which make us feel guilty and unrighteous before God. Such is human life. We are always failing to be righteous before God by our own good works; and we all know and feel this in our heart.

Therefore God sent us a Savior, and Christianity is a religion of salvation by a Savior through faith in him. What we are unable to do, he does for us, dying in punishment for both our old and our new sins to make reparation for them so that an all-just God can always forgive us anew without violating his infinite justice.

This is the good news that St. Paul preached and that we are called to preach, and for preaching it he was persecuted. His enemies considered him “sorrowful,” “poor,” and “as having nothing”; but the reality was the exact opposite. He was “always rejoicing,” “making many rich,” and “possessing everything” (2 Cor. 6:10).

It will be the same for us if we preach the true gospel of salvation in Christ through faith in him. There will always be those who think that we also justify ourselves by our own works, and they will attack us. But this is the suffering of an apostle in every age.

He suffers for preaching the truth that God has revealed.

It is the mission of the Church to preach this good news and endure this suffering when it occurs, as St. Paul did.

Friend’s intransigence may build resentment Mailbox

Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell

seems as though she has to control everything we do, which is not my idea of friendship. Any suggestions? -- Had Enough of This Dear Had: Does she do this only with movies? If so, she may simply not be adventurous enough to see anything she isn’t certain she will like, or she may be uncomfortable with certain types of films, such as horror movies or documentaries and too embarrassed to say so.

But if she tries to dominate every decision (type of restaurant, where you go walking, etc.), then yes, she is the controlling type.

You say she is a good friend. We assume she is pleasant company and there are other things you

someone.

I have had people ask to bring their neighbor “who wants to see your lovely home,” parents who ask to bring three extra children to a child’s birthday party at the circus, and of course, the people who don’t RSVP and just show up.

It is wrong to put a bride on the spot by making her feel obligated to incur an additional expense or explain to her new in-laws why she is changing the guest limit.

It is never permissible to forego good manners and ask for whatever a person wants. -- Massachusetts

like about her. You have multiple ways of dealing with this: Put up with her choices and see the films that interest you with other like-minded people; take movies off the list of activities to do together; tell her the next movie is your pick or you aren’t interested; or talk to her, letting her know her intransigence on the issue is building resentment and damaging the friendship.

Dear Annie: Thank you for standing firm on your advice to “Blainville, Quebec,” who thought it was OK for a wedding guest to ask to bring her boyfriend.

I host many events and am amazed by how many people do not understand that an invitation addressed solely to one person does not automatically include a plus one.

It’s not only the budget.

It’s the seating arrangements, keeping to the guest limits, accommodations and meals. “Just one more” makes a huge difference, especially when several people want to add

2015 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: For the past 20 years, a good female friend of mine and I have gotten together every few weeks for walks, lunch and movies.

The problem is, whenever we go to the movies, she always picks. I’m a pretty easygoing person and will see whatever she wants because even if the movie doesn’t sound great, I’m willing to give it a try. But whenever I say I would really love to see such-and-such a movie, she will never go. She gives excuses, like reading a review she didn’t like. In all the years we’ve seen films together, she has never once agreed to see one of my choices.

Don’t all relationships require compromise? I feel like I do all the giving and she does all the taking. When I brought it up to her, she replied, “Well, everyone doesn’t like every movie.”

I know this problem isn’t earthshattering, but it is affecting me enough to question whether she is truly a friend. When she does this type of thing, it

Palmer’s position at the city was tenuous following the November election. The fall campaign was marked by a dispute between Palmer and Alan Mason, the city’s director of economic development, that became public. Palmer suspended Mason, only to have council re-instate Mason and force Palmer to apologize.

REgional Following the election, Mayor Mark McKee threw his support behind Mason. The mayor had no comment on Palmer’s retirement package, saying he signed a confidentiality agreement.

It’s not unusual for a CAO to be let go when a new mayor and council is elected, and it usually comes with hefty six-figure payouts.
