Elkford man facing animal cruelty charges TREVOR CRAWLEY

An Elkford man is facing animal cruelty charges following an incident last May in the killing of two dogs.

After an investigation from the SPCA, Bonnell was charged with two counts of cause unnecessary pain/suffering to an animal and two charges of killing or injuring animal for shooting two dogs with a .22 rifle at his home.

In a statement provided to Global News at the time of the incident, Bonnell claimed he was defending his chicken coop from the dogs,

which he claims had killed nine of his chickens.

“I went into the house and got my low velocity .22,” Bonnell wrote. “As the dog was chewing on the chicken, I shot it and it went down. I looked up and seen [sic] another dog coming around my camping trailer and it was growling at me. I shot it and it went down.”

He returned to the trailer to put the gun away, but when he stepped outside again, the dogs had disappeared.

Kimberley would welcome another solar mine near Cranbrook C A R O LYN G R A N T

Mayor Don McCormick says that Kimberley would welcome another solar farm in the area.

A proposal has been referred to the Regional District of East Kootenay in late August from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, involving a crown land application for an investigative license to assess the potential for a solar farm.

The application covers 300 hectares and is roughly located beyond a gravel pit adjacent to the St. Mary’s River in-between Cranbrook

and Fort Steele. The vision is to have three separate areas capturing sunlight on the property.

As far as solar energy goes, the more the merrier, says McCormick.

“I think it’s really good to see another company interested,” he said. “Critical mass is an important element of success. A stand alone is a tough slug for any business.

When you get clustering, you end up with efficiencies in marketing, in sharing information.”

Province okays mine expansion T R E VO R CR AWL EY

The provincial government has approved an environmental assessment certificate (EAC) to Teck Coal for a proposed expansion at the Fording River operations.

The Swift project, an expansion roughly 20 kilometres north of Elkford, is estimated to produce 170 million tonnes of coal over the next 25 years.

The EAC carries 19 conditions, which were developed following consultation with the Ktunaxa Nation Council, government agencies, communities and the public.

Key conditions of the EAC include: • Hire an independent environmental monitor to audit whether Teck is complying with the conditions in the environmental assessment certificate; • Construct and operate water

treatment plants at Fording River Operations in accordance with the timeframe and specifications set out in the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan; • Develop management plans to monitor and mitigate effects on wildlife, fish and fish habitat, air quality and noise, public access, and water, as well as effects from invasive plants; • Develop and implement a plan that will address the recommendations of the Westslope Cutthroat Trout population study in the upper Fording River (when that study is completed early in 2016); • Establish an advisory group to provide scientific, technical and Aboriginal advice on strategies to evaluate and reduce impacts on biodiversity from this and other projects operated by Teck in the Elk Valley; and:

Local NEWS This week is Farmers Appreciation Week in B.C.

Townsman Staff

This week is the sixth annual Farmers Appreciation Week. The week is meant to celebrate B.C. farmers and local food and runs Sept. 12-19 and was created by the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets’ (BCAFM).

The Cranbrook Farmers’ Market will have outdoor markets each Saturday until Oct. 10.

The association noted that as much of the province experienced the highest drought ratings and water restrictions this summer, Farmers Appreciation Week is an important time to reflect on the contributions of farmers in BC. For the 98 per

cent of BC farms that are family-run, agriculture is not only a business, but a way of life.

Elizabeth Quinn, the association’s executive director, noted it is the farmers that feed us and contribute to our everyday lives.

“Whether it’s by providing fresh food throughout the year at farmers’ markets, grocery stores and farm stands, or by preserving farmland and green space,” Quinn said.

Studies have shown that 48 per cent of what British Columbians consume is produced by BC farmers. British Columbians can show their appre-

ciation for BC farmers throughout the week by choosing products that are grown close to home.

According to the association, there are around 20,000 farms operating in B.C. leading the

way in the national sales of blueberries, sweet cherries, raspberries, pears, apricots, Brussel sprouts and rhubarb in 2012.

They contribute over $170 million in economic benefits, farmers’ markets are also key places

where the public can connect with local farmers and learn more about local food.

The BCAFM is a not-forprofit association that represents 125 farmers’ markets across the province and works to support,

Local NEWS It’s harvest time; let’s pick apples and other fruit

For the TOWNSMAN

Wildsight is pleased to announce that a public apple picking and pressing event will once again be a part of annual harvest festivities at Kimberley’s Open Gate Garden (located behind the Aquatic Centre)! On Sunday, September 20, folks looking for apples are asked to muster at 10 am at the Garden to harvest from trees on the Project’s fruit tree registry. The group, and others with apples to process, will reconvene at the same location later in the afternoon to mill and press apples into delicious apple juice.

Dirk de Geus, Food Sustainability Coordinator for Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook is happy this unique program exists. Through the Apple Capture Project, Wildsight provides

our community with the equipment to pick, press or dehydrate apples, free of charge! Dirk is excited about the event and would love to see many people show up and be ready to pick some apples from trees that otherwise would not be picked. The juice from these apples is local, mainly organic, and literally “fresh off the press”. Dirk also asks that participants please bring containers if they would like to take juice home.

As Community Coordinator for WildSafeBC in Kimberley and Cranbrook, Sonja Seher is proud to support and help promote the event.

“As the wild berries finish their cycle and apples ripen in town, unpicked fruit becomes a considerable attractant for bears, and for other

wildlife as well”. Sonja adds that reports to the COS have indicated that fruit trees have even surpassed garbage as a leading wildlife attractant in recent weeks. “So the Apple Capture Project, and public events like this, have multiple benefits: our residents realize the potential in their fruit, and help reduce the chances of a close encounter with bears in town”.

“Dehydrated, these apples will make a great, tasty, healthy snack for kids lunch boxes all winter long. Juiced, they will be full of flavour: not much tops a glass of freshly pressed apple juice! You can’t buy happiness, but you can pick and eat local apples, that’s kind of the same thing,” says Dirk.

If you have a tree ripe for the picking, and not

First of all solar energy is unlimited in the

McCormick thinks that goal may be a little lofty.

“It took us six years to get a 1 megawatt. BC Hydro determines what they will buy. Our license is for 2 megawatts,

least a fully year basis.

For instance, August would be normally be a very good month but this year with all the smoke, we lost 20 per cent of our potential power.”

Refugee sponsorship

Susan Bond, Kimberley Shauna Jimenez, Wasa (East Kootenay Friends of Burma)

Gran Fondo Congrats

news/opinion

Letters to the Editor

Canada’s refugee sponsorship program has been decimated by the Conservative government. What was once an effective, responsive and compassionate system is broken.

Ironically, it was a Progressive Conservative government that established Canada’s unique Private Sponsorship of Refugees program in response to the Boat People crisis of 1979.

The result? Canadians sponsored 35,000 refugees from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos in just the first two years of the program. In 1986 the United Nations awarded the Nansen Medal to “the people of Canada” for their service to refugees – the only time the award has gone to an entire country.

There are many other examples of quick and decisive action by previous federal governments. In 1999, for instance, Canada took extraordinary measures to evacuate 5,500 Kosovar refugees from the former Yugoslavia.

Here in the Kootenays, people have responded with exceptional generosity over the past 30 years, sponsoring and resettling well over 200 refugees in Kimberley, Cranbrook, Wasa, Invermere, Fairmont, Fernie, Sparwood, Golden, Creston, Nelson, Rossland, Trail and Castlegar.

The Syrian crisis has reminded us there are millions of refugees around the world waiting for our help. Many have been languishing in refugee camps for decades — the average stay is 17 years! Some of these people could be living here as our neighbours, contributing to our economy, and sharing the life we are so privileged to enjoy.

So, for the benefit of whichever political party forms our next government — and in the sincere hope that Canada will restore its former place in the world — we suggest the following very do-able changes to current Conservative policy and regulation.

• Eliminate barriers to private sponsorship, including immediate removal of all caps and limits to the Private Sponsorship of Refugees program.

• Waive the refugee documentation requirement for Groups of Five sponsorships.

• Fast-track Syrian refugees who have family in Canada.

• Restore full Interim Federal Health coverage for refugees resettled in Canada.

• Maintain priority for refugees who have been in camps for more than 10 years.

I have just completed my second Gran Fondo event here in Cranbrook and wanted to take the opportunity to send along some feedback.

The community of Cranbrook does an

amazing job of organizing this event and welcoming riders. My wife and I travel up from Victoria for this event. On behalf of all of the riders I extend a huge thank-you to everyone that makes this event a success.

Without the sponsorship from various businesses and the promotion by the media — we riders don’t have an event.

The legion of volunteers who organize, staff the registration, ensure that riders get where they are supposed to go AND protect every single intersection on the ride itself cannot be thanked enough.

I ride in these events all over the West Coast and can only say loudly, way to go Cranbrook, you do yourselves very proud.

We are very fortunate to join your community for a few days each year and be part of this growing event.

Congratulations to all!

Gran Fondo Congrats

I’ve let it go by now for a couple weeks, but it is still on my mind and have to ask the question; When this new “graduated Licencing System” came into place wit great fanfare from the government it was announced the biggest part of the new system would be a “ZERO TOLERANCE” for alcohol for “New” drivers.

We have been seeing a constant report

by RCMP in their weekly “On the beat” segment about drivers receiving instant 90-day prohibition with their vehicles being impounded for 30 days.

There have also been drivers simply pulled for 24 hours. My question, stemming from the Friday, August 7, edition of the paper, is why do long-time experienced drivers get such a penalty while a “New” driver is only taken off the road for 24 hours?

So much for Zero Tolerence. So much for teaching the young, new drivers the consequences of drinking and driving, especially when the 24 hours is because they are “New Drivers”. Police words, from the paper.

Thoughts on the blackout and the nanny state

Re: Urban society slides into helplessness (B.C. Views, Sept. 9) Thanks for the article on the way society cannot handle any small upsets to the status quo.

I remember the big windstorm of 2006, which incidentally was in December. I was a 60-plus senior at the time, and my power was out in a residential area of Colwood for five and a half days, as our two-house power line was not a high priority in the queue. I watched the Hydro trucks go by day after

day, waiting my turn for reconnection.

Fortunately I have a wood stove that can heat my house, boil water and cook food. It does get tiresome living by candlelight but I had my disaster radio nearby to listen to the local station give updates on how Hydro was doing. Most of my freezer contents were moved to friends’ homes, and my garden shed became my refrigerator.

Anyone with common sense can understand that the repair crews work tirelessly to restore power as quickly as possible, and perhaps the media could help by reminding people that they need to fend for themselves for several days if the major earthquake ever occurs. Calling 911 just clogs up the lines and can stop people from getting through with real emergencies.

Whatever will we do when the “big one” comes?

Margaret Mercer Colwood Many thanks for this column. I believe that the reliance by people on government combined with the emotional response and seeming helplessness by many citizens to even temporary inconveniences is worrying in the least and perhaps dangerous in the longer run.

Please write more about this issue.

Allan Woodbury Delta I couldn’t agree more with your article on how we now need the government or some other entity to look out for us every day all day. I believe the term for it is “learned helplessness.”

Lloyd Jenkins Langford Tom Fletcher’s latest confusing rant challenges your readers to be “competent” enough to plan for retirement using RRSP savings accounts without government assistance, tenuously suggests nationally subsidized child care is a form of incompetency and then rather ominously asks us if we are “ready for the day when the machine stops.”

One can only assume Mr. Fletcher somehow intends “the machine” metaphor to be a thinly-veiled reference to the federal government collapsing.

If so, I urge caution: RRSP savings accounts are registered with the federal government. Should that particular “machine” fail, your registered retirement savings plan would be rendered worthless, as it would be “registered” with no one in particular.

That spot under the mattress is beginning to look even more attractive as a place to plan for our retirements. Thanks for the advice, Mr. Fletcher.

B.C., chiefs pledge to work on reconciliation Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C. cabinet ministers and 500 aboriginal leaders emerged from two days of meetings in Vancouver Thursday with a pledge to work on divisive resource development issues and hold a province-wide forum on aboriginal children in government care.

Premier Christy Clark also announced the establishment of a $2 million fund for scholarships for aboriginal students

Monday, September 14, 2015 Page 5

pursuing post-graduate degrees, and a new set of awards for aboriginal youth athletic achievement.

A framework document agreed to at the meeting commits the province and First Nations Leadership Council members to keep working on a reconciliation agreement that would settle historic land claims across the province.

Clark said the agreement would have to include provisions for the unique aspects of more

than 200 First Nations.

Grand Chief Ed John of the First Nations Summit said the first two years of these province-wide meetings have gotten off to a rocky start, but expressed the hope that “by year 10 we’ll have paved the road.”

In his closing speech, John reflected on his own time at a residential school, and described a new generation of young people that is emerging from the social upheaval of that policy.

“I couldn’t even see my sister on the other side of the building, even though she was in the same residential school as I was,” John said. “That disconnect became the norm for us.”

Chief Robert Chamberlin, vice president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said last year’s landmark land title decision in favour of the Tsilhqot’in Nation means action is required to address territorial claims.

A female sibling presence “Sisters are the crab-grass in the lawn of life.”

Anonymous (for my safety’s sake) There is a story in our family that my mother’s two brothers didn’t get along too well. At one time, apparently, John was having tantrum about something or other and his older brother threatened to smack him about the face with a slab of cod he was carrying. I never heard whether it was Charlie’s habit of packing slabs of cod about, even on Fridays, but John must have said something like, “If you do, I’ll throw myself down the stairs.” Anyway, the legend goes: Charlie smote his brother with said cod and John heaved himself down the stairs.

Now this yarn has always amused me but, only recently, I recalled that my mother, the boys’ sister, must have been present on that occasion and I now wonder if she had caused the event; sisters are like that.

My own sister arrived from Toronto last week with her spouse in tow. The pair only stayed three nights but there may have been some sort of miscalculation; to me, it felt much longer.

Pamela is four years younger than me and we’ve seen each other approximately five times over the past sixty years, so as not to overdo things. So I, for example, ha-

ven’t yet resorted to throwing myself downstairs.

While my beloved spouse and I, for a year, softened parents to the concept of our future emigration to the wilds of Canada, Pam and the stoic Clifford pulled a fast one on theirs and just skipped our homeland ahead of us; they probably owed the money they’d splashed about for their lavish wedding.

My wife and I didn’t attend those nuptials probably because I still didn’t own a suit better than the one the Peter Royal Air Force had given me Warland after I’d won the war.

Anyway, Pam and Cliff descended on me and started in, straight away, telling me about their four incredible sons and their spouses, and their children, all of who are lovely. A couple of times, I am sure, I felt my mind shutting down with its usual clang. I’d find myself wondering what calamities might have befallen those fine lads should a female sibling have arrived.

Once or twice during the visit, my sister and I found ourselves remembering our childhood together but she is almost certainly suffering from False Memory Syndrome. Her recollections of those days are nothing like reality or mine. I think she just makes them up; I couldn’t have been that bad and, anyway, nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

She has no memories of the times that I was forced into the indignity of taking her to the ‘pictures’ on a Saturday morning and losing her for an hour or so while she explored the intricacies of the washrooms, and she invents stories of how I’d insult her from across the street by calling her ‘giraffe’.

Her neck’s not that graceful.

On occasions during the visit I wondered if Pam was actually my sister or if she and I had lived with different families in days of yore.

Cliff, although born and raised in Britain, as was I, has developed a Turunu accent. Pamela, however, sounds like an English woman with aspirations to be in the upper classes, which she never was; it may be because many of her Toronto friends are of English extraction or because of her times acting in British plays, where she never would have been cast as Eliza Doolittle.

I couldn’t help recalling those dance shows where folk dressed in black twist and distort themselves and call it free dance because, when my two ancient visitors got up from their respective chairs in order to go out or to shuffle over to the table, they looked like that, only accompanied by creaking noises. I had no idea my rellies had grown that old.

But that senility must have infected me.

So far it has taken me four days to recover from my female sibling’s visit. I am only slowly returning to my normal chaotic life.

Ice split final two games in Kennewick Kootenay edges Thunderbirds before falling to Cougars Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice wrapped up a threegame tour at the Red Lion Hotels Pre-season Tournament in Kennewick, Wash., over the weekend, splitting their final two games against the Seattle Thunderbirds and Prince George Cougars.

Friday, the Ice squeaked out a 3-2 overtime win against the Seattle Thunderbirds, before falling 3-2 in overtime on Saturday to the Prince George Cougars.

“We feel all right, I think there’s a lot to work on still,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, Sunday afternoon. “We’re not looking at the results as much as the process. “[Against Seattle] we didn’t play nearly as hard as we should have.

But we responded real well in the third game [against Prince George], especially early on with an early start and third game in a short period of time.”

The Ice opened a 2-0 lead through 40 minutes against the Thunderbirds Friday afternoon as veteran forward Zak Zborosky started the scoring midway through the first period before Drew Warkentine tallied eight second into the second to boost the advantage heading into the final period.

Less than five minutes into the third, Ice defenceman Nathyn Mortlock caught a Thunderbirds player in the danger zone below the goal line. The heavy impact enticed a five-minute major and game misconduct for checking from behind as the 19-year-old native of Medicine Hat saw his afternoon end early.

Mortlock was eventually held out of Saturday’s game against the Prince George Cougars, as the Ice were informed by the WHL that supplemental discipline was coming down the pipe.

“It’s a tough break for Nathyn,” Pierce said. “I

thought he played a real good game. He took some shifts up at forward in the second period and he was physical throughout. When you play on that fine line, sometimes you get caught.”

“For me, the biggest lesson we need to take from it is our puck management.

With a two-goal lead, we need to be a little more conservative and play a little more high percentage. ” Luke Pierce Kootenay Ice Head Coach Pierce expects to hear a final verdict on Mortlock Monday morning.

Moments after Mortlock’s ejection, Warkentine was sent off for cross-checking.

On the ensuing man advantage, the Thunderbirds capitalized as Nolan Volcan beat Ice goaltender Declan Hobbs for the first time on the afternoon.

Less than 10 minutes later Nick Holowko tied the affair and the two teams were off to overtime.

“The first two periods, even though we had the lead, we probably weren’t very good,” Pierce said. “It started to catch up to us.

“All those things we weren’t doing well in the first two periods that we were getting away with -- they bit us in the third. Overall, I thought we played better in the third, but it’s karma

coming back to get you for not putting in the effort you need to at the start.”

In three-on-three extra time, it was an unlikely hero scoring the game-winner as import defenceman Mario Grman took advantage of a quick break before beating goaltender Taz Burman.

Interestingly enough, Grman and Burman find themselves wearing new colours in 2015-16 after spending the 201415 campaign as teammates with the Red Deer Rebels.

Burman made 13 saves on the afternoon as the Thunderbirds outshot the Ice 37-16. At the other end of the rink, Hobbs stood tall, making 35 saves to claim his first win of the pre-season.

“Real happy with Declan’s game,” Pierce said.

“That was probably the game we got outplayed the worst and he was there for us, kept us in it and gave us a chance.”

Saturday saw a quick turnaround for the Ice, with a 12 p.m. puck drop against the Cougars coming only 20 hours after puck drop against the Thunderbirds.

Once again, the Ice were out front early as Matt Alfaro tallied a power-play marker in the first period to give the visitors a 1-0 edge.

Vince Loschiavo doubled the lead 4:03 into the third period, but for the second time in 24 hours, the Ice choked up the advantage as the Cougars clawed back with markers from Justin Almeida and import forward Bartek Bison.

Just as it looked three-on-three overtime was about the run out, Bison gave the Cougars the win, beating Ice goaltender Keelan Williams with 37 seconds remaining.

“I think we probably learned a lot more Saturday because of the good play,” Pierce said.

“We were blocking shots and we were playing what you would call a typical road game, espe-

“For me, the biggest lesson we need to take from it is our puck management. With a twogoal lead, we need to be a little more conservative and play a little more high percentage.”

Despite suffering his second loss of the pre-season Williams turned aside 34 of 37 shots as the Ice were outshot 37-16 by the Cougars.

At the other end of the rink, Patrick Gora and Tavin Grant split the outing between the pipes, each making seven saves and surrendering one goal.

Next up, the Ice face the Lethbridge Hurricanes Thursday night at 7 p.m. in Crowsnest Pass, Alta.

In the meantime, Pierce is looking forward to working on special teams and some other specific areas of the game.

The Ice roster remains at 31, though a handful of players are away from the club at various NHL camps.

As a result, Pierce doesn’t expect any more roster reductions before the conclusion of the Thunder Challenge in the Crowsnest Pass.

After facing the Hurricanes Thursday, the Ice take on the Calgary Hitmen Saturday night at 7 p.m. to conclude their WHL pre-season schedule.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Reassess a professional relationship. Ask yourself how hard you really are trying to please a parent or higher-up. In hindsight, you might feel as if you have deferred too much. Go forward, not backward. Be willing to state your limits. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Focus on your daily life, and refuse to engage in heavy discussions. Don’t forget to schedule an appointment for a checkup, a massage or maybe a new haircut. Decide to take a trip or perhaps a workshop that exposes you to new concepts. Tonight: Use your imagination.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might opt to stay home today. Try discussing a long-term desire with those who can give meaningful advice. It could be a good time to launch into action in order to achieve this goal or any matter that involves property and/or your domestic life.

Tonight: Hang close to home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) There could be a miscommunication between you and someone you care a lot about. Fortunately, you both have a great sense of humor. A partner will step up to the plate if you flounder. This person understands the pressure that surrounds you.

Tonight: Return calls.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will have a lot to say.

Communicate clearly so others understand exactly what you mean. Unfortunately, you still might run into a problem.

Prepare to explain an idea or a thought more thoroughly. Have patience with friends and loved ones. Tonight: Hang out late.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Allow more creativity to flow.

You can tap into your imagination without taking unreasonable risks. Test out your ideas on someone who has sound financial judgment. Be aware that he or she could nix what you think is an excellent idea. Tonight: Be near good music.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You feel empowered. When

Tundra

you are at your best, you have a profound impact on others and how they feel. You might misread what someone says and not even realize it. Don’t worry; this person will understand that you are coming from a good place. Tonight: In the limelight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Let others pitch in, even if you feel you could do a better job.

Remain open and listen to someone else’s ideas. Accept different styles. Get past a problem with promptness. Someone might be upset about your decision, and you’ll hear about it.

Tonight: Vanish while you can.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A meeting with a group of friends could evoke a strong response. Your emotions are likely to come out in a discussion.

Recognize how others might hear your words. You’ll want to make a major change with fiscal spending and expectations.

Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel as if you have no choice but to act. However,

you do have a choice. Back off until you are more secure with the different elements you are handling. Someone else might have a stronger sense of direction than you do. Tonight: Out and about.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are more than capable of distancing yourself and seeing a situation for what it is. Don’t push so hard to have others think like you. Listen to your sixth sense, but don’t depend on it alone. You need to think intellectually and make decisions.

Tonight: Let your mind drift.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your emotions might spin out of control. You’ll wonder what is going on. Listen to a friend, but count on a partner being more realistic and coming from an anchored space. You also have more common interests on this matter. Tonight: Spend quality time with a loved one.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I was divorced many years ago and raised my daughter primarily on my own because my ex-husband was an alcoholic. When I left him, I was financially responsible for my daughter.

I always told her that as long as she did well in school, she could have a great deal of freedom, yet it was a crime if I asked her to pick up milk on her way home. When she went off to college, I paid her tuition and all expenses for the first three years.

She now has a good job, is a hard worker and is kind to her boyfriend and friends. But to me, she loses her patience, gets snotty and rarely takes time to see me. We live two hours apart, and she is always too busy when I’m in her area. She never invites me to stay with her. When she comes here, she spends her time visiting other people.

I’m just her hotel. For Mother’s Day, I got the free gift that came from a purchase she made for herself.

I have tried to talk to her about these things and she says it’s the “same old sob story” and doesn’t have time to listen. Now her job is relocating her to Florida, and I’m having a hard time wanting to help her move. She’s asked if it’s OK with me that she goes, but I told her it doesn’t really affect me. There’s always a telephone if she wants to talk, and that’s the only communication we have had for a while. She blocked me on Facebook several years ago. She has maligned me to family and friends and convinced them that I was a bad parent.

Could the distance be a positive thing for us? I feel as though I’ve lost my daughter. I did everything for her to succeed in life, and she treats me like I’m nothing. Am I an embarrassment to her or just not a good enough mom? -Hurting Dear Hurting: Neither. Your daughter doesn’t understand why she should treat you differently. Other than good grades, you expected little from her and that’s what you got. This move could be a good thing, since it will force you to focus on things other than your daughter, and she will stop assuming that you will always be desperate for her attention. But you need to develop a fulfilling life totally independent of her.

Dear Annie: A few months ago, I mentioned to a friend that my record player broke. He offered to send me his player.

The thing is, it’s been a while and he hasn’t sent anything yet. Is it polite to remind him or should I let the matter drop? -- Unsure in New York Dear Unsure: Packing up and mailing a package can be complicated for some people. Chances are, he completely forgot. Phone your friend and say, “A while back, you were very kind to offer to send me your record player, although you certainly are not obligated. I’m ready to purchase a new one now and just want to be sure that yours isn’t in the mail.” He will then let you know whether he plans to send it or not.
