SCARY TIMES

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

Biz folks in the area are generally quite happy with how things are going, report the mayors from Trail, Fruitvale and Rossland.

The three officials and their council members joined the ministry and local economic development leaders in a walkabout town and city during last week's first Business Walk in the Lower Columbia Region.

Knocking on doors of more than 100 businesses from the Gulch to East Trail, Glenmerry and Waneta wasn't just a one day experience (Oct. 19). The event highlighted the opportunity for ongoing engagement with the small business sector, says Trail Mayor Mike Martin.

“My coverage area was Cedar Avenue, so I speak for what I personally experienced,” he explained. “But I truly believe the businesses were pleased to see us out and about gathering information about the status of the business community,” added Martin. “And they freely shared their views to the number of questions we posed.”

Martin's immediate takeaway was businesses are generally doing fairly well, though he acknowledged comments of inadequate parking including handicap zones, as well as lack of foot traffic.

“So anything the city can do to help promote that, primarily through increased density of housing within the downtown could be beneficial – that seemed to resonate well,” Martin indicated, referring to the city's goal for development of Esplanade lands.

Face-to-face talks, however, mostly revolved around council's direction to rejuvenate the downtown core.

“There was strong support,” he said. “And there seemed to be excitement with the things that are happening right now, with the pipe bridge and new museum library.”

Rossland Mayor Kathy Moore reflected on the city's Oct. 20 walk, saying time flew by as valuable feedback was gained. And, along with many positives and a generally happy business community, some negatives were noted.

“They loved the renovations done to the downtown,” said Moore.

Disgruntled with working conditions and corporations’ disregard for labour factions, he became an advocate for worker’s rights, organizing and promoting trade unions.

was elected secretary of the Trail Mill and Smeltermens Union and in 1917 led the first strike against Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company bargaining for an eight-hour workday.

A prominent leader of the social movement, he died under highly controversial circumstances that have not been settled to this day. Goodwin’s status as a conscientious objector who refused to go to war was used as an excuse to go after him.

However, the widely held belief was that Goodwin was murdered in an attempt

to stifle collective bargaining.

His death inspired Canada’s first general

strike in 1918.

The story of his “murder” ran in the Times Aug. 2, 1918.

A. Goodwin, of Trail, Draft Evader Shot and Killed By Military Constable in Wilds of Northern Vancouver All exemptions refused, certified for service and did not appear – justifiable homicide jury verdict Albert Goodwin, draft evader, at one time secretary of Trail Local No. 105, International Mine Mill and Smelter Workers’ Union, who has been missing for some time, was shot by Constable Campbell, of the Military Service Police, in the wilds of northern Vancouver Island last Monday. Testimony proved that Goodwin was in the act of raising a rifle to ALBERT shoot Campbell, when the latter was too quick for GOODWIN him. A coroner’s jury at Cumberland brought in a verdict of justifiable homicide.

The case of Goodwin has aroused province-wide interest, both because of his prominence in labor circles and because he was a socialist and a candidate for that party in provincial elections. He took a prominent part in the strike of the Trail smelter men last November.

Major McKay, chief public representative at Vancouver, gave a brief history of the case showing that Goodwin exhausted every effort to evade military service, including an appeal to organized labor to assist him.

Goodwin went before the appeal tribunal at Nelson on Nov. 23 and claimed exemption on account of ill health and infirmity, but this claim was disallowed. . . . ( He) was ordered to report for military service at No. 2 Depot Battalion, Victoria on May 2 but the order was returned undelivered, and he was therefore reported as a defaulter.

Rossland Mayor Kathy Moore and Terry Van Horn of the Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation meet with Trinda Bowman owner of Curiosity Clothing and Gifts during Business Walk last week.

Walk offers opportunity for feedback FROM PAGE 1 “But parking and signage for parking is still an issue,” she added.

“And there were some negative comments about Rossland’s high taxes.”

In Fruitvale, Mayor Patricia Cecchini made the team rounds, and reports, “As a rule, business seems to be really good.”

Most businesses revealed they’ve seen increases, said Cecchini, but she did note one exception.

“One business had seen a significant decrease with with the Waneta Dam project completed,” Cecchini explained. “(Overall) it was a great opportunity to touch base with the business owners in our community. We were able to share the LCIC initiatives and show

them where they can get support, and that seemed to be well received.”

One aspect all three mayors noted was the lack of succession plans in their respective business communities. Meaning, many don’t have a plan in place should they exit their business through retirement or sale.

Another common thread was difficulty finding and retaining employees – skilled or otherwise.

Martin heard about challenges with hiring people committed to working in the retail and service sector in downtown Trail; and Cecchini noted rural employers had difficulty finding and retaining skilled apprentices and labourers.

The Business Walk was a partnership facilitated by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and

Skills Training, the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce, services providers, municipal leaders and the Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation (LCIC).

“People really appreciated the resources we mentioned to them,” said Moore. “And the handout the LCIC and ministry put together was a great tool, people had no idea what was out there.”

The LCIC’s Terry Van Horn is compiling a summary of the walk that will be presented at upcoming council meetings.

“I think the whole initiative was wonderful and I give a lot of kudos to the LCIC and the Ministry of Jobs and Tourism, who provided support for this initiative,” Martin concluded.

“It fit in really well with the work the chamber is doing on small business recognition.”

RELIGION

Trail & District Churches In Christ, Satan is Falling Like Lightning from Heaven

“The seventy returned with joy, saying, ‘Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!’ And he said to them, ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven’” (Luke 10:17-18).

This is the wonder of Jesus’ ministry, which is continued in the ministry of the Church. It attacks and overcomes the power of evil in the world and in ourselves. Jesus had previously sent out seventy disciples to preach the nearness of the kingdom of God. He gave them power to cure the sick (Luke 10:9), but they now come back and report that “even demons are subject to us in your name” (Luke 10:17). In this, their ministry is like that of the twelve and like that of Jesus himself, for he had earlier “called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal” (Luke 9:1-2).

This was the mission of Jesus and his disciples during his lifetime. After Pentecost, this same mission will continue, but then the full, open, and clear preaching of the mystery of God’s salvation in his Son Jesus Christ will be possible. During Jesus’ lifetime he had to repeatedly warn people to keep silent about him, for prior to his death and resurrection, the people were not able to properly understand him or his work. Only after Pentecost was the veil of silence finally lifted, and the full mystery could then be clearly preached. This is the time we are now in. Not only is it now possible to preach the full mystery of Christ and his saving work, but it is now necessary that we do so, for now is the time of fulfillment, the Messianic age, the time of salvation. Now is the time when Satan and the forces of evil are being defeated by the work of Christ crucified.

Today it seems that many have lost their confidence in preaching or even in believing this, and so there is a great silence about salvation and Christ’s work of reconciliation, which the Father sent him into the world to accomplish in order to overcome our alienation from God because of our sin. The Father sent Christ as the great reconciler to expiate our sins and so satisfy divine justice on our behalf, for we owed God a debt of suffering in punishment for our sins that we were unable to pay. So the Father sent his Son to pay this debt to God for us on the cross, where he took our sins upon himself (2 Cor. 5:21) and suffered their punishment for us (1 Peter 2:24). Christian preaching is to present this mystery and then call and invite all to repentance and belief in Christ and in his saving, reconciling work for us upon the cross, for it is our faith that applies Christ’s redeeming work to us.

Perhaps one of the reasons why many have lost confidence in preaching this is because we now have more contact with other religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism, and so we hope that God will somehow, in a way known to him alone, also bring many of these people to a knowledge of Jesus Christ that will be sufficient for them to be saved.

But this hope in no way negates the fact that explicit knowledge of and belief in Jesus Christ and his saving death on the cross and resurrection is the way that God himself desires all peoples to be saved. That is why he sent out his twelve apostles to the ends of the earth to “preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15 NKJV) and to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19-20).

These two things must go together, namely: 1) preaching the gospel to everyone, and 2) hoping that God, in a way known to him alone, will bring those whom we have not yet reached to a sufficient knowledge of and faith in Jesus Christ to be saved.

Nor are we to lose confidence in the power of Christ and him crucified to save us. And we are not to fear to preach Christ and him crucified (1 Cor. 2:2) as the main content of our preaching.

Our mission will then be one of power. People will be converted, freed from the depressing burden of guilt for their sins, and will be declared righteous, because by their belief they are now accounted freed from sin and from their previous debt for their sins, because it was paid for them by Christ’s suffering in penance and reparation for their sins on the cross. So we are sent ad gentes, to the peoples, to the nations, to preach a liberating message, the liberation from our greatest enemy and illness, the illness of our spirit, which is the depressing illness of guilt for our sins.

This liberation comes to all who hear this good news (the gospel) preached to them with faith and conviction, and who repent of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ and the power of his death on the cross for their sins (1 Cor. 15:3). Then, when they are baptized, enter the Church, receive the sacrament of reconciliation (John 20:22-23), and celebrate the Eucharist, they have the fullness of the gifts and helps to salvation that God has given us in his Church.

So every time a preacher goes out and preaches the gospel of salvation, Satan is falling like lightning from heaven (Luke 10:18), his power is being pushed back, and the kingdom of God is advancing in the world.

Pope calls for interfaith collaboration THE CANADIAN PRESS VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis marked the 50th anniversary of the turning point in the Catholic Church’s relations with Jews and people of other faiths by calling Wednesday for greater interfaith collaboration in the face of religious extremism.

Francis devoted his usual Wednesday general audience to explaining to the Catholic faithful in St. Peter’s Square the importance of the “Nostra Aetate,” or “In Our Time” declaration, which revolutionized the church’s relations in particular with Jews.

The statement was one of the most important documents to emerge from the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 meetings that brought the church into the modern world. It said Christ’s death could not be attributed to Jews as a whole, recognized the shared spiritual patrimony between Christians and Jews and decried all forms of anti-Semitism.

Jews, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists were in the VIP seats in the piazza and were treated to a meet-and-greet session with the pope after the general audience ended. The World Jewish Congress had a particularly large delegation, given that its leaders decided to hold their annual conference in Rome to coincide with the anniversary.

In his remarks, Francis said the declaration had transformed Catholic-Jewish relations from “indifference and opposition to collaboration and good will. From enemies and strangers we became friends and brothers.”

He lamented that the rise of terrorism had fomented suspicion and condemnation about religion in general. He said that while no religion is immune from fundamentalists, the world must look instead at the “positive values” that religions promote, especially in caring for the neediest.

“We can walk together, taking care of one another and of creation,” he said.

Popes past have long expressed esteem for Jews, with St. John Paul II famously calling them the “elder brothers” of Christians. But Francis’ remarks Wednesday weren’t aimed at Jews per se, rather at the Christian pilgrims who come out for his weekly catechism lesson.

Rabbi David Rosen of the American Jewish Committee, a longtime partner in interfaith dialogue with the Vatican, recalled in a briefing with reporters that “Nostra Aetate” was approved following the horrors of the Holocaust, when the Catholic Church was forced to undergo a “reckoning of the soul” over its relationship with the Jewish people.

“Even if this tragedy was not an initiative of church — God forbid — nevertheless it could only take place because of 2,000 years of demonization of the Jews,” he said. “It was perpetuated ostensibly in Christian lands by ostensibly baptized Christians. This was therefore an enormous call to the church to look into itself.”

BC SPCA will continue animal control for now

BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff

The good news for local animal control is the BCSPCA had a change of heart.

The group will continue picking up and housing furry and feathered friends at the Trail BCSPCA branch for the time being, despite an earlier stance it was no longer interested in providing animal control services past the current contract, which expires Dec. 31.

Regional partners, which include Trail, Montrose and Fruitvale, opted for a new agreement but on a quarterly basis, taking into account unknowns about the facility's impending move.

“The site selection is not resolved,” Trail Mayor Mike Martin explained during Monday council. “They hope to have the relocation established before the end of 2016,” he added.

“Then determine whether it would be in the best interest of both parties to continue a longer term contrac-

tual agreement.”

East End Animal Control pays almost $95,000 annually for the service, which includes kennelling animals at large and this year, working with the city to alleviate a feral cat problem in West Trail.

“We feel the contract is something that is valuable to the City of Trail (Montrose, Fruitvale), so we will continue that relationship going forward,” says Mark Takhar, BCSPCA's chief operations officer, adding, “until the decision is made where we will end up building or purchasing a facility that will house our animals in the future.”

That's the bad news for animal lovers in the Trail area. At this point, Takhar said the organization is considering moving the Trail branch to Castlegar, though plans won't come into play until later next year.

“We are aggressively looking for a potential place where we can build a new

shelter or even look at properties that have a building we can retrofit,” Takhar told the Trail Times. “Castlegar has come to us with a couple of different proposals that we are looking at very closely,” he added.

“They are very appealing to us...we are looking at what's best for us with limited funds.

“But wherever we end up relocating, we will make the ultimate decision at that time about what to do with the services we provide.”

Earlier this year, the BC SPCA sent a letter to Grace McGregor, board chair for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), informing the Trail branch would be closed by the end of June 2016.

With the closure date pushed back, Takhar says it's business as usual at the Trail branch.

“It will probably be springtime before we move forward with any of our options,” Takhar clarified. “There's a

high possibility we will be at the Trail location until the end of 2016, and nothing has changed for us - we are still helping with animals in the region and will continue to do so in the future as well.”

Conditions in the 33-year old Trail facility are deemed detrimental to the health and welfare of staff, volunteers and animals, leading to the BCSPCA's four proposed replacement options.

Review of those ideas fell to a four-member subcommittee from Rossland, Warfield, Trail and Fruitvale. After weighing the possibilities, the group recommended, and the RDKB board agreed, that the regional district would not fund new construction, but hoped to retain animal control services.

The three municipalities contract animal control from Area A and Area B, so new agreements are made through the East End Services stakeholders and budgeted through the regional district.

SD20 study international student revenue possibilities

BY BETSY KLINE Castlegar News

School District 20 trustees made a decision Monday night to explore the possibility of recruiting international students as a means of increasing revenues.

The motion presented by the revenue generation ad hoc committee authorizes the board to fund up to a maximum $25,000 a feasibility study/ business case development by an external consultant related to the reestablishment of an international student program.

The funding for the initiative will

come from some unexpected revenue generated from international students that enrolled in the district this year.

Superintendent of Schools Greg Luterbach agreed that the research should be handled by an outside consultant.

“We don't feel from a staff perspective that we have either the time or the background to take this on,” said Luterbach. “We need to bring someone in that has expertise to tell us what could it look like, what would it cost, what would we have to invest to make this a successful program.”

Trustees Kim Mandoli and Mickey

Kinakin expressed concerns based on what they saw as difficulties experienced the last time the district engaged in an international student program.

After much discussion, the motion passed.

The board also decided to create a committee to explore the potential idea of renaming Twin Rivers Elementary in light of the recent blending of Twin Rivers Elementary with the former Castlegar Primary school. The committee will be charged to bring forward

by February 15 a shortlist of three-tofive names, in order of preference, for the board to consider.

Selling Blueberry school: The right deal for school district

A

t the public portion of the SD 20 meeting held Oct. 26 trustees announced the details of the sale of the Blueberry Creek School to the Blueberry Creek Community Society.

In meetings this past year trustees agreed to sell the building and lands to the Society for $1.00.

The following caveats have been agreed to : the Board has a) right of first refusal to repurchase both building and land for $1.00 if either the society ceases to exist or tries to subdivide the land and caveat b) the Society may not compete with SD 20 by housing an independent school nor a private school. The society also agreed to pay for all legal costs related to the disposal of the school. In other words if the Society ceases operations or tries to subdivide the land the School District has the right to repurchase the land and building for $1.00 if it chooses to.

Trustees spent many

hours in debate on this issue. Here is some of the background that impacted my decision.

The Blueberry Creek Community Society has a vibrant highly valued series of programs it offers to families of the lower Columbia valley.

They provide daycare, after school care, strong start, preschool, 1-to-1 reading, environmental camps, science camps to name only a few of their many offerings.

At a well attended public meeting held at the school it became clear to trustees that the broader community values the Societies programs very highly.

At that meeting the community did not want to see any disruptions in service that a possible sale could create.

The land and building are currently zoned as institutional land.

Currently only institutional use is permitted for the building and land.

All use restrictions would apply to the buyer of the

DARREL

GANZERT

Community Comment building and land when sold. Any land development would have to comply with zoning regulations.

If the building were to sit vacant for a time waiting for an institution to buy the land the Board would be responsible for the annual upkeep.

The Board would be required to complete all expensive maintenance as the building sat empty.

If the building were sold only a small amount of the money would be readily available for District capital projects.

By law the sale money would be divided as fol-

lows: 75 per cent to restricted capital and 25 per cent to unrestricted capital.

The 75 per cent restricted capital must have government approval before being spent on capital projects. The 25 per cent of unrestricted money could only go to capital projects and could not be spent on hiring, supplies, equipment or any other operational need of the district.

When contemplating the value of the school and land please consider the zoning implications.

Also please consider a real life comparable situation.

The current owner of the former Beaver Valley Middle School has it listed for over a year for $250,000. It is a much newer, larger building than Blueberry and is sitting on roughly the same amount of land as Blueberry.

The sale would also free the Board from maintaining an old building in need of hundreds of

thousands of dollars of upgrades in the next 10 years.

In the end, trustees agreed to sell the building and land to the Blueberry Creek Community Society for $1.00 with the critical caveats already mentioned agreed to.

The Board of School District 20 wishes the Blueberry Creek Community Society all the best as it continues to grow and hopes they remain a vital service to many in the Lower Columbia Valley.

Darrel Ganzert is the chair of the School District 20 Board of Trustees.

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.

breach of contract.

Whatever happened, a jolly time was not had by all. There were allegations of a cover up, questionable conduct and misuse of funds.

KPMG and TIC settled outof-court, likely to avoid any messiness. But in a twist, the ex-consultant sought the court’s permission to be released from the gag clause in the settlement agreement.

He lost and was prohibited from disclosing the terms of the settlement and the affairs of KPMG or TIC. Here’s where gag clauses can get silly.

TIC only had one project, Port Mann.

It’s board was a tight-knit group: Peter Milburn, deputy minister of transportation, PBC’s Larry Blain and John Dyble, then deputy minister of health.

According to its statement of financial information, it had 37 suppliers who billed more than $25,000 in 200910.

Six were government agencies and fourteen others were for less than $100,000.

Difficult to imagine that much fuss over $75,588 charged at Xerox.

Only three billed more than $1 million: engineering firm HNTB Corp. ($3.3 million), Marsh Canada ($19.9 million) and Kiewit/Flatiron ($482.7 million).

Care to place a wager on whose invoicing was being reviewed?

To date, Kiewit/Flatiron has been paid $2.8 billion on a $2.4 billion fixed-price contract, what amounts to an extra $4,400 for every driver that crosses the bridge on any given day.

Yet the people being tolled to pay for it don’t even know if the government got the best deal possible or what the mess with KPMG and TIC was about.

Maybe the government should have insisted on one of those firm-fixed-price contracts.

Can we help a Syrian family?

SUBMITTTED ROSSLAND –The West Kootenay Friends of Refugees (WKFoR) have successfully sponsored two refugee families since their formation in 2011.

People in Trail and Rossland have donated money and goods to make the transition for these people more comfortable and the families are very grateful for the support.

As a registered group, the WKFoR is now receiving lengthy lists of Syrian families who have been approved for resettlement in Canada.

It is heartbreaking to read about children needing medical attention and older people who are alone and vulnerable.

At this time, it seems as though the families being listed are those who are in the greatest need.

Because we have recently sponsored an Eritrean family, the West Kootenay Friends will need to start another fundraising drive so we can raise the money needed to provide care and housing for people who have left everything behind and have nothing. Our goal at this time is $15,000.00.

In this situation it is particularly impressive that young people like the Maturo sisters, the students of the Seven Summits Learning Centre and the Interact Club at J.L. Crowe are showing the way by taking on their own initiatives.

At their most recent birthday parties, Maya (age 11) and Sofia (age 9) Maturo decided to request donations to the West Kootenay Friends of Refugees instead of presents. After counting carefully, the girls were pleased to present WKFoR member Jan Micklethwaite with $96.25.

Maturo put it, “Some of my friends have had birthday parties where we donated to the SPCA. I think animals are important but people are important too.

“That’s why I decided to help the refugees.” Her mother, Kate Mahoney confirmed that her daughters came up with the idea on their own.

Smokies face Vipers, Vees in division tilts

BY JIM BAILEY

Times Sports Editor

The Trail Smoke Eaters take on a pair of Interior division teams going in opposite directions this weekend with a Friday tilt in Vernon against the fading Vipers, followed by a home game versus the leagueleading Penticton Vees on Sunday.

The 6-9-0-0 Smoke Eaters are coming off a home-and-home sweep of the Merritt Centennials which included, after trailing 4-1 midway through the third period, a dramatic 5-4 comeback overtime victory.

As a result of the wins, Trail had two players receive honourable mention in the Player of the Week poll. Rookie goalie Linden Marshall picked up two wins stopping 46 of 47 shots for .979 save percentage and .681 goals against average, while veteran Jake Kauppila netted the hat trick, and overtime game winning goal in a first star effort against the Centennials last week.

Despite the good efforts, the PoW went to Wenatchee Wilds’ Joseph Drabin, who scored five goals and added four assists in a pair of wins over Surrey Grizzlies.

The Vipers, meanwhile, have lost three in a row, dropping to 8-9-0-1 after a 6-2 Wednesday night loss to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, a 2-0 setback to the lowly Victoria Grizzlies on Saturday, and a 3-2 loss to West Kelowna Warriors Friday.

“I think we’re right up with them (Vernon) and have proven that even just by the results,” said Smoke Eater coach and GM Nick Deschenes.

“I think we’re with that team and when we play our best, we’re even above them.”

The Smokies will have an opportunity to prove that tonight when they take on the Snakes and former Smoke Eater Riley Brandt at Kal Tire Place in Vernon. The 18-yearold Brandt is third in scoring on the Vipers, netting seven goals and 15 points in 18 games, while amassing the most penalty minutes on his team with 42.

The Smokies have a much more difficult task on Sunday, when the Vees visit. Penticton hasn’t lost a game since its first opening season match against Salmon Arm, and have reeled off 15 straight victories since. What’s more, the Vees got even better last weekend when they traded for forward Nicholas Jones from the Sherwood Park Crusaders.

Jones had played parts of two sea-

sons with the NCAA Div. 1 Ohio State University, before returning to the junior ranks. Prior to joining Ohio State, Jones finished third in Alberta Junior Hockey League scoring in 2013-14 with 72 points in 52 games and his 41 goals was tops in the league.

“We are definitely a better team today than we were a week ago,” Vees coach-general manager Fred Harbinson told the Penticton Western News. “We get a kid that played on Canada West. We see it sometimes, a kid that maybe went a year early to school and didn’t get the opportunity behind certain guys.

Coincidentally, former Smoke Tier 2 Bantams are on the road this weekend to play two games in Kamloops.

television, and probably being paid handsomely, in spite of the shame they have brought on themselves and the game.

Rose, celebrated for his hardnosed (I have no problem with that bit), “Charley Hustle,” approach and supreme hitting skills, shamed himself and embarrassed the game, bringing it into disrepute by breaking the stringent and necessary rules about gambling - it is most likely he fixed games in which he either played or managed in order to overcome loser’s debt and lied and lied about it. Being caught, he lied some more and never apologized.

Rodriguez cheated, and lied, and cheated, and lied, and threw bush league attitudes into his on and off field mix, despite possessing legendary talent and being in the presence from the start of his career of such classy and equally talented examples as Ken Griffey Jr. and Derek Jeter.

The two belong better in a cubicle in Cooperstown labelled Hall of Shame than on national television during the sport’s marquee event. It says something about the mindset of the people with the most influence on the sport that they are front and center - and it isn’t something positive.

The game is such a treasure it will likely survive the travails and travesties of 2016, but is disappointing where those with the money are taking its most visible activities.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been happily married for 20 years. After the kids were grown, we decided to downsize. We put our home on the market and moved to a different state.

My husband’s mother did not want us to move. She started interfering with the real estate office that was showing our house. She was given written warnings to stay away from the property. She then stripped all our perennials and trellises and took the picnic table and hoses -- anything she could get off the property. She left a huge mess, and I had to pay someone to clean it up.

She wouldn’t stop, so I finally called law enforcement. Now members of the family have labeled me “psycho” because I filed a complaint, but the local police haven’t done anything. Mom continues to arrive at showings and claims she is the caretaker. What can I do to stop this woman without breeding more ill will? -- Fed-Up Psycho
