Heather Hurst of the Trail Pottery Club, puts some finishing touches on a newly thrown pot before letting it dry for firing. The Visac Gallery is presenting “Pottery – Follow the process” until April 4, presenting some of the work of the pottery club and other local potters.

First there must be water before a horse can be led to drink. The future of the Trail Horseman’s Society is looking dry as the organization grapples with the loss of water service. The rodeo grounds across the highway from the Trail Regional Airport were left in the dust after a 45-year water service between Montrose and the Trail Horseman’s Society ended two years ago, after the village’s water upgrades were too onerous for the non-profit to invest in. The 108- member group was again left high and dry after a “Well Access Agreement” between the society and the airport’s previous owner, the regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), fell by the wayside after Trail began negotiations to purchase the airstrip property last summer. When Trail took ownership of the airport earlier this year, the riding organization approached the city to request running a waterline under the highway to connect to the airport well. The Horseman’s Society stated in a letter to the city that it is desperate for a water supply and that pumping from the well was the only viable option to keep the facility up and running. After reviewing the city’s engineering report at Monday’s governance committee meeting, Trail council rejected the proposal, citing

significant regulatory and technical issues related to the use of untreated well water. “There are a number of regulatory issues and legal considerations,” said David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative officer (CAO). “Given the amount of water that the society is looking for, it was a significant concern in terms of the draw on the well and how well the can recover.”

“There are a number of regulatory issues and legal considerations.” DAVID PEREHUDOFF

During roundup events, the water draw could have the pump running 16 hours per day to meet the Horseman Society’s demand, and that would result in expedited deterioration of the well, he added. Additionally, Trail would have to cough up upwards of $110,000 to develop a groundwater management plan to include wellhead protection provisions, a long-term disinfection program of non-potable water, and a contingency plan in the event of an emergency. “We do understand that the regional district has done some work on the disinfection issue,” explained the CAO. “But when you take it all into consideration and given the costs we are not in a position to provide water at this time.” See RDKB, Page 3

New sergeant joins Trail detachment BY ART HARRISON Times Staff

Cpl. Dave Johnson is ready to get back to his regular beat after acting as sergeant for the Trail and Greater District RCMP detachment. “I’ve been acting sergeant for four months and I’ve enjoyed it,” he said. “The job has mostly been managing staff and the budget, it’s been interesting. But the permanent sergeant should be here at the end of April or early May and I’ll go back to my supervisory position where I’m actually out catching the bad guys.”

Johnson has been managing the detachment since early January when long-term staff sergeant, Rob Hawton, retired. Sgt. Darren Oelke, who was stationed in Trail eight years ago, will be coming from Prince George to take over the management of the detachment. “I’ve been in Trail for 13 years and I’ve enjoyed my time here,” said Hawton. “I’ve served around B.C. and I think this is one of the best areas in the province to live. I’m sure he’ll (Sgt. Oelke) enjoy it here.

“I think it says something that he worked here before and wants to come back to the community.” Prior to hanging up his hat, Johnson presented local crime statistics to Trail council at their regular Monday night meeting.

ROB HAWTON

Results showed a slight increase in sexual assaults, robberies, motor vehicle thefts and drug offences, while assaults, break and enters, theft and mischief were down for the Silver City. “Even with the statistic for robbery showing an increase, it’s important to note that only one of those was an actual robbery of a convenience store with a knife,” said Johnson, referring to the robbery of the downtown Trail 7-Eleven store in December of 2013.

Frank and Mary Jane Hanna, Trail’s first family. He succumbed to typhoid fever on November 15, 1895 at the age of 16 after two long weeks battling the illness. He was buried in the newly-establish Tadanac cemetery on the smelter flats. Only one month before, resident Rodney Robinson drowned in the Columbia River. It was a tragic event that

1598 2nd Ave (across from Safeway)

brought to the attention of the powers that be that a cemetery was necessary for the little town. Frank Hanna Jr. became one of the first burials in this cemetery, in what is now the C-Lot parking area. With business prospering, the town grew and expanded, as did the cemetery space. In 1932, Mountain View Cemetery between Rossland and Warfield was established and the smelter cemetery was no longer used. By the mid-1950’s, the City of Trail was booming and space was sought to accommodate the growing number of vehicles and workers in the downtown core. The city worked out a deal with smelter officials to swap several vacant Cominco-owned lots with the cemetery land at the smelter. A referendum was held and the public sup-

ported the proposal. In October 1957, workers began the process of exhuming over 1,100 caskets and remains, relocating them to the Old Trail Cemetery across from Mountain View. Frank Hanna Jr.’s grave marker did not make the trip up the hill. It remains in the Trail Historical Society’s artifact collection and on display in the Trail Museum. At nearly 120 years old, the marker is of incredible value to the collection. Conservation treatment, including a custom built encasement, will hopefully preserve the piece for another 120 years to come.

Collision results in fatality By Art Harrison Times Staff

A collision between a truck and a car in East Trail Tuesday afternoon has resulted in the death of one of the passengers. Trail and Greater District RCMP responded to a report of an accident Tuesday afternoon at around 5:40 p.m. in the intersection at the east end

of the Trail bridge. The incident, involving a car with two occupants and a truck, occurred at the corner of Bailey Street and Second Avenue. Both occupants of the car were sent to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. RCMP released an update Thursday,

reporting that the passenger in the car had later died from their injuries. No information as to the identities of the parties involved in the crash are being released at this time. “With any traffic fatality the coroner investigates and we hand the case over to West Kootenay Traffic Services,” said acting

Sgt., Dave Johnson, of the Trail detachment. “We’re waiting to hear from them how they want to handle the release of any further information.” The police are requesting assistance from the public in this matter, asking that anyone who might have witnessed the collision contact them at (250) 364-2566.

Social grants benefit local children, most vulnerable By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

A newly launched program with a mission to support Aboriginal heritage in Trail, Nelson and Salmo was awarded a $20,300 grant from Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) last week. The Circle of Indigenous Nations Society, which formed last year, will direct the funding into its Metis Traditional Parenting and Personal Healing Program, according to Kris Taks, executive director of the society. More than 400 Trail residents are registered Metis, and the parenting initiative is open to any parent or caregiver of an Aboriginal child, she added. Sessions include traditional ceremony, drumming and an Elder’s presence in a talking circle, with topics of discussion ranging from the effects of colonization and reclaiming cultural identity to traditional ways of self-care and child development. The Social Grants Program (SGP) is a three-year pilot program that began in 2012, with an annual granting budget of $1 million, and a directive to support social well-being and address social issues in Basin communities. Granting decisions are made by a volunteer group of Basin residents (selection committee) that includes individuals with experience and expertise in the social sector and individuals who

have broader community development experience. Thirty-two Kootenay recipients were chosen for the grant program, including five in Greater Trail. Of these, the Family Action Network (FAN) of the Lower Columbia Valley was the largest benefactor. FAN received $80,000 to improve access and awareness of existing support services for vulnerable children and families. The focus of FAN is to set up a directory that integrates all preschool-based resources available in the Lower Columbia through a website that unifies the network of support available to families with infants and young children. Families in the Salmo area will benefit from a $2,500 grant awarded to the Salmo Child Care Society for the non-profit organization to complete planning and expand licensed child care services with additional spaces for infants and toddlers. “Last year we did a survey and 82 per cent of respondents with children under three, or who were expecting, said they required child care in the community,” explained society director Cathy Paton. “This will help us reach that goal.” Another social issue addressed was homelessness in Trail, with a project called “Getting to Home” receiv-

ing $30,750 for its homelessness action plan, a program based in Career Development Services (CDS) on Bay Avenue. The success of that program continues to grow and last year the housing facilitator completed intake for 44 individuals, including five dependent children and to date, 18 have been housed. “The impact it has on the staff at CDS involved in assisting someone to feel safe and secure in their community, meeting their very basic needs and being so grateful motivates us to come to work every day,” said Sheila Adcock, CDS program coordinator. “And we look forward to celebrating success with such a very deserving population.” Additionally, a West Kootenay initiative out of Nelson to develop a lowcost dental clinic to support people with financial barriers gained teeth with a $9,250 grant. Locally, the Trail Family and Individual Resource Centre (FAIR Society) currently runs its dental access fund program, connecting low-income people with significant dental needs to a local dentist who provides the approved services at a reasonable rate. “A lot of the funding for this program comes from individual community donations and small grants,” explained Gail Lavery, the society’s executive director.

From page 1 When contacted by the Trail Times, the society requested time to reflect on its options before making a public statement. “The RDKB initially indicated to the society that they could provide water in what would appear to be the absence of due

diligence,” Perehudoff said. “This has now resulted in an expectation the city cannot reasonably accommodate.” However, the Horseman Society’s water service should remain in the hands of the regional district because the property is located in Electoral

Area A, according to Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs. “First off all, if you are going to get water it should really have a line from a (water) tower and not directly from a well,” said the mayor. “When the Horseman have an activity they need quite a bit of water and this is not the best well. “But right now, it’s not really our issue because their property is not in the City of Trail,” continued Bogs. “If that changes in the future then will have to do something about it.” Perehudoff noted that if the grounds become part of Trail, based on the boundary extension application now before the province, the city would ultimately consider development of an infrastructure improvement plan to this and any other property in the area.

Crime statistics reflect quiet rural community From page 1 “The remaining five recorded incidents involved the threat of violence, not all were what you would normally think of when you say robbery.” Even in the categories that showed slight increases the occurrences were few enough to reflect the relatively laid back rural aspect of living in the Kootenays and nowhere near what is seen in larger population centres. “We’re happy with these numbers, I think it’s a reflection on the prolific offenders approach we’ve taken to crime reduction,” Johnson said. “There’s people on release conditions from previous offenses and when you hold these people to those conditions and get them in front of a judge when they don’t follow them, it gets them off the street before they offend again.” In addition to the crime stats, Johnson also brought forward information on traffic and impaired driving statistics for 2013. The results indicated an usual shift in which the numbers of actual impaired driving

charges and roadside suspensions essentially reversed. In 2012, there were 12 impaired offenses recorded and two roadside suspensions. In 2013, there were only four impaired charges on the books and 12 suspensions. “There was a time in 2012 when the Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRP) wasn’t in effect, cases were going through the courts,” Johnson said. “The motor vehicle avenue was limited so we recorded more criminal code violations. It was a matter of how we processed the crimes. In 2013, once the IRP’s were declared valid we were able to use that avenue again.” Johnson says he thinks his replacement should fit in to the Trail position without many concerns. “It should be a pretty easy turnover for him with his familiarity of the area,” Johnson said. “He was also running their Crime Reduction Unit in Prince George which is similar to what we’re trying to do here, focus on the low percentage of the people who are committing the high percentage of the crimes.”

Elbourne said 17 attack teams rushed in and out of the area throughout the night to fight the blaze. While they managed to knock down the main fire after four exhausting hours, it took another seven hours to put out all the hot spots. “During that

crew for their heroic efforts. “I couldn’t be prouder of the men and women that were on the ship that night,” he said. “They showed incredible bravery and courage and determination, and worked as a team in perhaps the worst circumstances you can expect at sea, and overcame a huge battle and really fought for themselves, for their shipmates and for their ship.” Elbourne said the blaze not only caused extensive smoke damage to the engine room, but to the living spaces of roughly 160 crew members as well. Due to the damage, Protecteur needed help from three U.S. vessels over the next week as it was towed to Pearl Harbor.

11-hour period, we had two reflashes of fire, which happens any time you have a fire,” Elbourne said in an interview from Hawaii, where the ship is stranded until it can be towed back to Canada. “As you knock out the main fire and then oxygen hits you, it produces the reflashes. Those were dealt with very effectively that night.” For two days after the blaze, Protecteur was dead in the water, about 700 kilometres northeast of Hawaii.

Putin wants to be rival Container wasn’t to the West, Harper says secured: agency Radioactive scare

By Lee-Anne Goodman THE CANADIAN PRESS

By Michael Tutton

THE CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX Cylinders carrying radioactive material fell during unloading in Halifax because one end of a shipping container they were in wasn’t properly secured to a crane, Canada’s nuclear safety agency says. Four steel cylinders encased in concrete and each weighing 4.5 tonnes fell into the cargo hold of a ship during unloading at the Cerescorp container terminal on March 13. Andre Regimbald, the director general of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, said Thursday dur-

ing a presentation in Ottawa that two connectors on the crane let go and the container then swung down and snapped off. “What happened is two of the lifting points on one side ... had not been properly anchored so all of 18,000 kilograms of weight was being supported by only one side,” Regimbald told the commission. “Due to this tremendous weight ... the side eventually sheared off as the flatrack swung downward in a pendulum motion.” The container plummeted about seven metres into the cargo hold with the

cylinders still bolted to it. Calvin Whidden, the vice-president of Cerescorp, the operator of the Fairview Cove terminal, said the company is still investigating what went wrong. Whidden said Cerescorp has ruled out a problem with the crane itself, leaving open the possibility that the container’s attachment points were deformed or the crane operator made an error. The company is consulting with engineers to see how changes to the attachment systems might prevent a similar incident in the future.

BERLIN - Chances are slim that Russian President Vladimir Putin will ever be allowed back in the G8, Stephen Harper said Thursday following a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel about the crisis in eastern Europe. “He has not desired to be a partner, he’s desired to be a rival, and that’s just the reality that we have to come to terms with,” Harper, standing alongside his German friend and counterpart, told a news conference. “I don’t see any way of a return for Mr. Putin to the table unless Russia fundamentally changes its course.” The G7 nations - the U.S., Canada, Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Japan - effectively booted Russia from the G8 earlier this week over its annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula following a pro-Western uprising. Harper and Merkel met shortly before the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a resolution affirming Ukraine’s territorial integ-

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - A veterans group says there’s a major disconnect between what the Harper government is saying in court about its obligation to ex-soldiers and reassurances from Veterans Minister Julian Fantino. Canadian Veterans Advocacy says a decades-old commitment to care for those who served, particularly the wounded, has been abandoned by the Conservatives even as they prepare to commemorate the sacrifices of war in Afghanistan. Federal lawyers fighting a classaction lawsuit by Afghan veterans argue the government has no special, legal obligation to soldiers and that decisions about their entitlements are matter of policy and subject to revision. Fantino has said publicly that the government believes it does have a

responsibility to service members, who are legally bound to risk their lives for the country. Mike Blais, president of the advocacy group, says that while the Conservatives say they have an obligation, their actions go in the opposition direction. “This government is adrift, they have lost their way,” Blais told a Parliament Hill news conference on Thursday. “They will pretend and portray they have a sacred obligation, but they are not walking the walk.” Until Fantino or other ministers instruct federal lawyers to change their defence, or settle the lawsuit, the government’s stand is a sham, Blais said. The class-action case was filed in British Columbia Supreme Court in October 2012 and involves six veterans of the Afghan war.

itimat residents are fighting back as Enbridge scales up its campaign to sway the town’s plebiscite vote on the company’s Northern Gateway oil pipeline, which would see oil loaded onto 225 tankers a year at a proposed Kitimat terminal. Having already launched an advertising blitz, Enbridge now has teams of paid canvassers knocking on doors throughout the community of 9,000 people. Door-knockers include Ray Doering, Enbridge’s manager of engineering from Calgary, Colin Kinsley, former mayor of Prince George and chair of the Enbridgefunded Northern Gateway Alliance, and other out-oftown Enbridge employees. “It’s the weirdest feeling having strangers in your town canvassing for this big company. It feels like it’s none of their business,” says Patricia Lange, a volunteer with community group Douglas Channel Watch. “It feels very invasive.” Mike Langegger, another Kitimat resident, posted a letter online about receiving a phone call from the company: “I was appalled

the other day when I received a call at home from Northern Gateway staff asking me if I was aware of the plebiscite and how I intended to vote,” he wrote. Douglas Channel Watch is rallying to pull together funds to run ads of its own and has teams of local volunteers going door-todoor. As soon as the group got signs up around town, Enbridge followed suit with signs right next to them. “Our group, we don’t have the money,” Lange told me. “But we’re finding it’s really great to be talking individually to people.” In January, the District of Kitimat council decided to survey its residents on their opinions on Enbridge’s oil proposal in a non-binding plebiscite vote to be held April 12 – but the district didn’t put in place any spending restrictions, in part because the Local Government Act doesn’t contain any limits for advertising during elections or plebiscites. So far, during its Kitimat plebiscite campaign, Enbridge has run ads in eight northern B.C. newspapers and at least one local radio station, dropped

handouts at hundreds of homes, placed signs around town, called households and launched a Vote Yes For Kitimat website.

DeSmog Canada research indicates Enbridge’s ad spend on the Kitimat plebiscite so far easily exceeds $15,000 – nearly five times what the company would be allowed to spend during a provincial election. Due to the absence of rules, Enbridge is also allowed an unlimited budget to pay teams of out-of-town canvassers. During a provincial initiative petition, like the one that launched the HST referendum, canvassers who collect signatures must be volunteers and must live in B.C. Despite this, Kitimat’s mayor doesn’t seem to see

a problem. “It’s very much feels like a municipal election and everybody has the right to do what they want to promote their cause,” Mayor Joanne Monaghan told the Vancouver Observer on Monday. “That’s democracy.” Dermod Travis, executive director of Integrity BC, disagrees. “No holds barred is not democracy. The fact that so many jurisdictions in Canada have rules to make votes fair demonstrates that elections and referendums should never be a free-forall. Limits exist for a reason: fairness,” Travis said. Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba have campaign finance rules that limit spending in local elections, Travis says, noting B.C. has the weakest rules in all of Canada. With Enbridge spending thousands of dollars and no spending restrictions in sight, Kitimat residents are taking matters into their own hands. Douglas Channel Watch’s Lange has four generations of her family in Kitimat and thinks the risks of the project aren’t worth the benefit for her

community. She admits she was “terrified” of knocking on people’s doors at first, but has now been out canvassing nearly every day for the past week. “We’re trying to reach everyone in town,” she says. “The people who have tried it are wanting to go again and again.” “I want my grandchildren to live here,” Lange says. “There are only 50 jobs for local people at the end of the day. The amount of money that brings into our economy we could get in other ways.” Though the plebiscite is not binding, it could boost Enbridge’s PR efforts if it goes their way and it would send a political message if residents vote down the project. “It’s an opportunity to send a message to Ottawa and to say that this small town, the terminus and the one that might benefit the most from this project in B.C., we say no,” Lange says. “That’s the reason I’m out there.” Emma Gilchrist is deputy editor of DeSmog Canada, a news site dedicated to public dialogue on natural resource issues. www.troymedia.com

Letters to the editor

‘If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it’ I hope no one I know reads this but I have to admit that Lana Rodlie is right (Region should unite as one, ‘quit waging economic wars’, Trail Times, March 26)! She has done her homework and as a retired professional journalist, there are no flies on this girl! She is right “18,615 people according to the latest statistics” live in this area. It’s too bad that she is so wrong with the rest of her whining and ranting. Again Trail’s elected officials are asking me to pay for their improvements. Lana’s last paragraph states “And don’t even get me started on the library issue.” Duh!? This is after numerous mayors and councils have rejected a larger facility and even modest budget increases. It has been over 57 years that this library has been in the same place, yet there is money for fancy signposts, aquatic centres, airports, a new footbridge and many other less important priorities than a library. Don’t think to blame anyone but the Pine Avenue crew

for this mess. When there are only a limited number of dollars to spend you cannot have a school and hospital on every corner. Now Trail is borrowing money to build a footbridge, (guess non residents will be charged to use it)? When the taxpayer or their elected officials ask tough questions like statistics about usage, GET THIS INFORMATION OR QUIT ASKING ME TO FUND IT! The fallacy that privacy is lost when statistics are gathered is a paranoid cry when it is a public facility with limited money. Is Lana questioning the five mayors, 22 councillors, and two regional representatives dedication or integrity? Put your name on the ballot this November, get yourself elected and see what type of hard work this is, instead of sitting on the sidelines criticizing. We don’t need a regional government unless everyone in Trail is willing to service every inch of this region with their plows, garbage trucks and other services. No more cherry picking and bullying the tax base away from others to pay

for the downtown projects. There is nothing wrong with the current system and if it ain’t broken don’t fix it! I will continue to support and promote the area, but if asked about Trail politics my answer would have to be to compare the Ivory tower on Pine Avenue to a Russian looking at a Ukrainian map and trying to decide the best place to build his new house. Congratulations to the people who finally stood up to the Rich Trail bullies and asked the difficult questions to get some accountability and information before dumping the contents of our wallets into the Trail vault. If Trail politicians are serious (ha ha), their next project should not be funded and built within city limits but up the hill or in the Beaver Valley. If you want to live in Trail, sell your house and move into town but don’t change the lines on a map or take my money to make the mayor look good in the newspaper. Mark Schmutz Fruitvale

Changes threaten jobs, limit access I have recently written to the federal Minister of Transport, the Honourable Lisa Raitt, to express my grave concerns about the changes to service that Canada Post is in the process of implementing in several communities in my riding of BC Southern Interior. These changes threaten jobs, limit access to the post office for my constituents and reduce Canada Post staff morale. Canada Post is representing the need for these changes to the public with a rationale that perpetuates mistruths about their purpose and necessity. Here are several examples from my riding: • In the town of Rossland (population 3,500) Canada Post is proposing to open a new “high traffic dealership outlet” in order to “improve

MP alex

atamanenko Keeping House service for customers in the market to be served.” At the same time, Canada Post is proposing to downsize the corporate retail outlet in Rossland, a move described by management as a “new smaller retail model.” This “model” will eliminate 1.5 retail positions and place all retail products behind the clerk in a customer service window wicket. • Canada Post will eliminate Saturday service in many of the smaller and rural post offices in my riding, including Balfour, Christina

Lake, Crescent Valley, Slocan Park and South Slocan, starting May 5, 2014. • Canada Post has reduced the hours of service in the Trail and Castlegar post offices by opening at 9 am rather than 8:30. Canada Post is pitching the necessity for these changes across Canada as good business practice in the face of declining profits, the loss of letter post revenue and more competition for parcel services. It defies logic that the best way to complete in the marketplace is to reduce hours of business, withdraw services from communities and go into direct competition with oneself. Reality check: According to the Canada Post website, the corporation posted profits in every year from 2009 to

764 Rossland Ave

2012 with the exception of 2011, when it locked out its workers. It would seem that Canada Post is determined to undermine itself by raising costs, cutting services and driving away customers in an ill-concealed attempt to privatize the corporation. The loss of wellpaid, union Canada Post jobs in the small communities that I represent will be devastating not only to the individuals whose livelihoods are threatened, but to small business and service industries that rely on customers to stay vital. The reduction in hours of service at corporate retail outlets and the opening of franchise outlets will not serve customers, employees or communities well. Alex Atamanenko, MP BC Southern Interior

PEOPLE NFL LOSS

OBITUARIES EBERT, FLORENCE MAY – 1917-2014. It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Florence May Ebert. Florence passed away in Kamloops BC on March 6, 2014 at 96 years old. She was born in Fernie BC in 1917. Florence was the youngest of five children born to Fred and Ella Wildman and was raised with three brothers and one sister. She married her husband Max in 1940 and raised four children, Melvin, Evelyn, Maxine and Alfred. The Ebert family moved to Salmo in 1952 and Florence lived there until 2010. She then moved to Sparwood and later to Kamloops. Florence was predeceased by her son Melvin in 1992, her husband Max in 1999 and her daughter Maxine in 2005. She is survived by her daughter Evelyn (Gene) Coulombe of Kamloops and her son Alfred (Judi) Ebert of Hosmer, eight grandchildren, numerous greatgrandchildren and nieces and nephews. Baking was one of Florence’s special talents and one could always count on a piece of fresh pie or hot cinnamon buns on their arrival. As well, she enjoyed a great game of cribbage or bridge. Florence was an avid curler, cross country skier, golfer and just loved to golf Salmo Golf Course. She loved the outdoors,fishing, gardening, berry picking, mushroom picking and helping her husband Max on his trap line. Florence was always involved in the community and leaves behind many friends. She will be greatly missed by both her family and friends. A celebration of her life will be held at the Salmo Legion on May 31, 2014 at 12:30 pm.

Last of the original AFL owners passes THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. During his 95 years, Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson went from fan to “Foolish Club” member to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, enjoying every step along the way. The NFL lost the person regarded as the league’s “conscience” on Tuesday, when Wilson died at his home around 1:40 p.m. Bills president Russ Brandon announced Wilson’s death at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando, Fla. His death resonated among the owners - from old to new. Wilson played an integral role in establishing the modern game, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009. In 1959, Wilson founded the Bills in helping establish the upstart American Football League, whose owners were dubbed “The Foolish Club” for having the chutzpah to challenge the NFL. Some five years later, Wilson played an influential role in the framework for the merger of the leagues. “Ralph Wilson was a driving force in developing pro football into America’s most popular sport,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “Ralph always brought a principled and common-

sense approach to issues.” Patriots owner Robert Kraft released a statement saying how grateful he was for how Wilson welcomed him to the NFL, adding: “I will miss him.” So will Bills Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy, whom Wilson lured out of retirement to serve as the team’s general manager from 2005-06. “He wasn’t my boss, he was my friend,” Levy said. “Deeply saddened to hear about his passing. He meant so much to the game that both of us revered, and to the community of Buffalo and beyond. It’s quite a loss, and he’s going to be remembered so fondly by everyone who knew him.” The last surviving member of the original AFL owners, Wilson died at his home in Grosse Pointe Shores, Mich., said Mary Mazur, a spokeswoman for the Wayne County medical examiner’s office. He had been receiving home hospice care. Wilson had been in failing health since having hip surgery in 2011. Though he spent much of his time at his home in suburban Detroit, he attended Hall of Fame induction weekends. He was a regular at Bills home games since founding the franchise, but had not been there since going to one game in 2010. Wilson gave up daily oversight of the club on Jan. 1, 2013, when he relinquished

the president’s title to Brandon. Wilson earned a well-established reputation for loyalty to fans and the stands he took against franchise relocation. Though he butted heads several times with late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, it did not affect

their friendship. As Davis said in 2009: “There were a lot of guys saying (Steelers owner Dan) Rooney was the conscience. But certainly, Mr. Wilson was more of a conscience of the league.” Wilson also earned the respect of his players. Bills Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas struggled with his emotions when discussing Wilson. “With Mr. Wilson’s passing today, it hurts,” Thomas said. “So I’m going to miss him, without a doubt. He used to call me his favourite son.” Wilson’s Bills have never won a Super Bowl. They came close in the early 1990s, when the Levycoached and Jim Kellyquarterbacked teams won four consecutive

AFC championships, but lost each time. The Bills have not made the playoffs since 1999 and their 14-year post-season drought ranks as the NFL’s longest active streak. Running back Fred Jackson said Wilson’s death provides the team new focus to end that drought. “We want to continue to cement his legacy,” Jackson said. “We want to honour him, and a great way to honour him is going out and winning a lot of football games.” Wilson never lost his sense of humour. In 2010, with the Bills 0-5, Wilson began an interview with The Associated Press with an apology. “I want to apologize for this phone system,” Wilson said, with a familiar chuckle. “It’s almost as bad as my team.” The future of the team is now in the hands of Brandon and Wilson’s second-incommand, Bills treasurer Jeffrey Littmann. For the meantime, the Bills are expected to be placed in a trust before eventually being sold. Wilson expressed no interest of leaving the team to his family. Kelly has expressed interest in buying the franchise and has previously said he’s assembled a group of investors. Kelly’s health, however, has become an issue this week. He is expected to have surgery for a second time in a year following the recurrence of cancer that his wife described as aggressive and

“starting to spread.” Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula is also considered a candidate to purchase the Bills and keep them in Buffalo. That doesn’t remove the possibility of outside interests making offers and relocating the team to larger markets such as Los Angeles or nearby Toronto. The Bills’ future in Orchard Park is secure for the short term. The team negotiated a 10-year lease in December 2012 with the state and county to continue playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The agreement includes a provision that essentially locks in the Bills through the first seven seasons. The franchise would have to pay US$400 million if it decides to leave before 2019. The team then has an option of buying out the remaining three years of the lease for $28 million. In 1998, Wilson received the “Order of the Leather Helmet” from the NFL Alumni Association for his contributions to professional football. Wilson always maintained a healthy perspective in regards to what mattered when it came to football, including his place in the game. When asked about the fragmented state of football in the mid1990s, Wilson joked: “It’s such a great game, it’ll survive us.” Funeral arrangements have not yet been determined.

Chrysler wheels out its sedan segment slugger By Alexandra Straub PULL QUOTE: “Along with its new bodywork and insides, there are over 60 standard and available safety features to keep both you and the 200 looking good and in one piece.” Louisville, KY. The 200 is not a new nameplate for Chrysler but the 2015 model is allnew from the ground up. This generation of 200 debuts the new “face of Chrysler” with its signature grille and logo. There’s also a standard set of rear LED tailamps, and the interior craftsmanship is much more impressive than before. This mid-size sedan is hoping to play ball – and win – against competitors like the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and Toyota Camry, in an ever-aggressive segment. Using the baseball

analogy with the 200 seemed apropos since the drive event took place in Louisville, Kentucky, the home of the Louisville slugger. Nevertheless, here are the meat and potatoes for the allnew vehicle. There are four trims of 200 available. First is the LX and that has a starting MSRP of $22,995. Then there’s the Limited, the S and the top-of-the-line C model. Regardless of trim, each comes with an industry first, also known as a 9-speed automatic transmission. My day started behind the wheel of the Limited trim with the 2.4L, 4-cylinder MultiAir engine (MSRP $24,995). This powerplant produces 184 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque. The interior reflects that of thoughtful craftsmanship and design. Soft touch

materials are used throughout and the layout is easy on the eyes. Not to mention the abundance of cubbyholes in which to place personal items.

On a side note, the interior colour combinations drew inspiration from various American cities. For example, the all black interior pays homage to New York City, the Linen and Black is Sausalito, California and the Blue and Black on the S model to Detroit. The centre stack can be adorned with either a 5-inch touch screen or the optional 8.4-inch. To me, the 5-inch screen seemed a little small,

so I’d invest in the larger version. That said, it was still highly functional and easy to use. On the road, the 2.4L Limited shines brightest when on the highway and on long stretches of pavement. It has ability in the twists and turns, but to really get a dynamic feel, you’d need to opt for the S or C trim to put it in the Sport mode. In that case, you get a different suspension setup and steering feel to really allow you to have more fun in the captain’s chair. Back to the 2.4L though. In the city, I felt I didn’t need much more power. Steering feel is light and allows to car the move with ease at slow speeds and gingerly into parking spots. Overall, a pleasant drive. The second half of my day was consumed with the V6.

Yum. The award winning 3.6L, Pentastar V6 packs 295 horsepower underneath its sparkling new hood. For a driver’s car, this is the one I’d pick. What’s more, you can configure this engine on all trims except the base LX. Additionally, you can opt for an all-wheel drive setup too. However, the AWD system needs to be paired with the V6. Getting into the sport mode, or fun mode as I call it, requires pushing down and turning

the central dial/gear selector to the right. Make sure you push it down, otherwise it won’t go anywhere. And less fun will be had. When accelerating, there’s a little bit of a throaty gurgle that comes standard out of the twin exhaust pipes around back. It’s a nice sound and one that I enjoyed hearing over and over again. One thing I did notice is that the A pillar did have width to it, so visibility is a little trickier out the front. And with its sloping roofline,

visibility out the rear could have been better. Thank goodness for the rearview camera. Along with its new bodywork and insides, there are over 60 standard and available safety features to keep both you and the 200 looking good and in one piece. The 2015 Chrysler 200 will be available in the second quarter of 2014. Visit www.chrysler.ca for more info Alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

Confessions of a Curber It’s only been a month, but I can see myself selling cars for a long, long time. I feel like a new man. One evening, I was in line at the superstore. An elderly gentleman saw my shopping cart. I had a new digital tire gauge that I was going to give to my next buyer. Turns out he was looking for a used car as he’d recently given his car to his grandson. He just needed something basic. “This is your lucky day!” I told him. The old fellow was around my father-in-law’s age – close to 80. He walked with a cane and had two ear pieces. I was practically shouting to him. What an easy sale. I decided to give him a ride and show him the car. He went on to tell me about his young granddaughter, too. At any rate, we got to the car – it was a base model with an automatic transmission. “It’s perfect for you, sir!” I exclaimed. He got in and sat at the wheel. His face lit up right away. I could tell that he’d been a car enthusiast in his younger days. “Where’d you get this car, son?” he asked me. “It’s my dad’s old car – he passed away and I

“Somewhere along the line, the rebuilt status was dropped.”

just can’t keep it anymore,” I lied. In reality, I imported the car from Washington. It came with documents that mentioned New York State. The title was clean, so I assumed it was in good condition. I priced the vehicle quite high – well over its value. But he didn’t know, and he didn’t ask any more questions. I told him I had another buyer interested (another lie), and that he had to make a decision right away. With no hesitation, he got a bank draft and I gave him the keys. Like I promised, I threw in the new tire gauge. Marty gave me a wink and slowly drove off. Another foolish customer, I thought. No history report to keep me on my toes. And worse, he needs to get it inspected, registered and insured within 30 days - I didn’t bother. I just got my buddy in Bellingham to help me get it across. That evening, I took out the papers I’d received with the car. I decided to go over them more thoroughly. I guess I was a bit bored. Turns out, the vehicle had been registered in four U.S. states. Somewhere along the line, the rebuild* status was dropped. Probably intentionally. The inspection and ICBC will catch that. And who knows if the odometer is right? At least it’s no longer mine. *Rebuild – A vehicle written off as a total loss by an insurance company, then rebuilt and certified for use. This term does not describe a vehicle that has a new or repaired motor, transmission or other major part. Rebuilds offer savings when repaired well, but a buyer has a right to know it was rebuilt. But this buyer didn’t and Walt walked away with the cash.

By Nigel Matthews The Hagerty Spring Thaw is a budget-minded driving adventure through British Columbia for pre-1979 touring and sportscars. And that was all cost conscious Driveway editor Keith Morgan needed to know to take part in this un-scored, non-competitive event, which takes place next month entirely within the province of British Columbia. “I spend the entire year driving new cars so this seemed like a fun way to spend some fun time in a classic,” Morgan explained. “My old friend George Holt, from Gabriola Island, has a rather fine 1954 Jaguar XK120 roadster so I’m going to ‘nagivate’ for him.

Spring Camp hits the Ice

By Jim Bailey

Times Sports Editor

A Titanic battle between the two KIJHL Conference champions, the Beaver Valley Nitehawks and Kamloops Storm, begins tonight in Kamloops as the best-of-seven league championship series gets underway. The Nitehawks and Storm cruised through the first three rounds of the playoffs with relative ease, the Hawks going 12-3 on its way to the Kootenay Conference crown, while the Storm lost just twice on its road to the Okanagan/ Shushwap Conference title. Yet, the two teams didn’t face each other at all during the 2013-14 season, and little is known of the Storm that breezed to the KIJHL regular season championship with 85 points, while the Nitehawks amassed 80 points in an arguably tougher Kootenay Conference. “We don’t really know too much about Kamloops,” said Beaver Valley assistant coach Jamie Cominotto. “We didn’t play them this year, but they’re going to be a good team, they won the league. We’re just going to play our style, and that’s all we can do.” The Hawks and Kamloops are both fathoms deep offensively, but the Storm may have an advantage in scoring-distribution as eight players in their lineup finished the season with more than 40 points, compared to four from the Nitehawks. Former Prince KIJHL Final Albert Raider and Best-of-Seven playoff Penticton Vee, Tonight’s game Beaver Valley at Kamloops 7 p.m. Brock Balson, led Saturday the Storm in scorBeaver Valley at Kamloops 7 p.m. ing with 26 goals Monday 48 assists Kamloops at Beaver Valley 7 p.m. and Tuesday for 74 points on Kamloops at Beaver Valley 7 p.m. the season. The Thursday (If necessary) forBeaver Valley at Kamloops 7 p.m. 21-year-old ward started his Friday Kamloops at Beaver Valley 2012-13 season 7:30 p.m. with the Salmon Sunday Beaver Valley at Kamloops 7 p.m. Arm Silverbacks before being traded to the Vees for the final 38 games. The back end is anchored by 21-year-old Daniel Buchanan, who was also an offensive force finishing third in Kamloops scoring with 23 goals and 44 assists, while playing with an edge and racking up 102 minutes in penalties. Liam McLeod, 18, and Wade Moyls, 20, shared goaltending duties, with McLeod going 7-2 in the playoffs so far, with a 2.05 goals against average and a .908 save percentage, while Moyls has seen action in six games going 5-1 with a 1.47 GAA, and a .946 save percentage. “They are going to be a strong team, i think their goaltending has been good for them. But it’s tough to judge a team you haven’t really seen, but you don’t win the league if you’re not a quality team.” As for special teams the teams are very close with the Hawks having a slightley better success rate on the power play during the season, 26.92 compared with 25.47 for Kamloops, while the Storm was better defensively with a 83.15 per cent rate on the PK, as opposed to 83.02 per cent for the Hawks. The Nitehawks will rely on strong goaltending from Brett Clark, and play the hard-checking and fast-paced game that got them past the likes of division champions Nelson and Creston. “By and large we’re pretty healthy, and in a pretty good frame of mind,” said Hawks coach Terry Jones. “It’s great to be playing hockey at this time of year.”

Basketball camp set to go By Craig Lindsay Grand Forks Gazette

Rising basketball stars from the area will have an opportunity to play with the best players in the province this spring. Grand Forks Secondary (GFSS) is hosting a try-out camp for Under 15 girls (Grade 9 and younger) on Apr. 5 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The cost to try-out is $55 per player plus $15 for a Basketball B.C. membership. Registration includes t-shirt, socks, insurance and a written evaluation. The camp will feature individual skill development as well as scrimmage games. “At the camp, coaches will select 10 players for the team plus a few alternates,” said head coach Craig Lindsay. “Those players will have practice sessions on two Saturdays, Apr.19 and May 3, at GFSS and then travel to compete at the provincial zone tournament in Langley on the May long weekend.” Lindsay said playing on a regional team is a great opportunity to have fun and improve your skills as well as to meet players from different regions. Players from throughout the Kootenays are eligible as long as

they were born in 1999 or later. “The team will compete with seven other zones throughout the province at the Langley Events Centre,” said Lindsay, who coached the junior girls team at GFSS this past year, and has coached several regional teams in Victoria. “The competition is really good. You see all the best players from throughout B.C. trying to win the provincial title.” Lindsay said it’s always interesting and challenging to mix players from different teams into a regional select team. “It’s fun and challenging as players get a chance to play with girls from different parts of the Kootenay who you normally might see at one or two tournaments during the year,” he said. “Players who put the time in on their skills in the spring and summer have a definite advantage when it comes to the next school season.” From the provincial zone championship, 40 players will be chosen to attend the U15 provincial team selection camp where the two provincial teams are chosen. For more information call Lindsay at 304-4649 or go to basketball.bc.ca.

By Times Staff The Trail Smoke Eaters Spring Camp hits the ice this weekend with upwards of 70 potential Smokies participating. The Spring Camp will also run concurrently with a Bantam age 4-on-4 tournament going on the small ice with over 40 players playing in what should be an exciting and entertaining competition.Eight players and one goalie will suit up for each team, in an exercise that will promote skill, speed, and finesse. For the Spring Camp players will be divided into five teams with scrimmages going all day Friday and Saturday and finishing up on Sunday. With the rebuilding process already begun, Deschenes is looking for impact players, who perform well in game situations. “We’ve got a really good local presence with a lot of the Major Midget kids, obviously Beaver Valley is still playing, but there are

some Castlegar players coming,” said Smoke Eater coach Nick Deschenes. “We’re definitely excited and it’s two-fold, we are identifying players for next year, but we’re also identifying for two or three years down the road as well.” Prospects: Kienan Scott, 18, amassed 56 points in 39 games with the Summerland Steam of the KIJHL last season and will be one to watch over the weekend. Connor Burk is another blue-chip prospect graduating from the Major Midget Vancouver North East Chiefs where he led all scorers with 28 goals 19 assists in 37 games. The five-foot-seven, 170-pound forward also has some grit racking up 32 minutes in penalties while finishing in the top-20 in scoring. Scrimmages go on Friday at 2:30, 3:45, 7:30, and 8:45 p.m., and 9:45 a.m., 2:15, 6, and 7:15 p.m. on Saturday, and 9 and 10:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Edwards commits

Submitted The Selkirk College Saints announced the committment of Beaver Valley Nitehawks forward Ryan Edwards to play for the Saints in the 201415 BCIHL season. Edwards is a six-foot-two, 190-pound centre, completing his fourth and final season of junior hockey with the Nitehawks. Edwards led Beaver Valley in scoring this season with 31 goals and 84 points in 50 regular season games, with his points total good for fourth overall in the KIJHL. The 20-year old has also played a key role in the Nitehawks’ run to the 2014 League Finals, as his 13 goals and 30 points through three playoff rounds lead all KIJHL skaters. Overall, Edwards places fourth on the KIJHL’s career scoring leaderboard with 96 goals and 249 points in 171 career games. He has added another 91 points in 61 playoff games. “We’re thrilled to be adding another top local player in Ryan,” says Saints head coach Jeff Dubois. “His offensive production in the KIJHL speaks for itself, and he’s also proven himself as a very capable two-way player and penalty killer whose size and strength bring an added dimension beyond his scoring and playmaking abilities. I see Ryan being a valuable addition to our team who can make substantial contributions as a firstyear player in our league next season.” Edwards has also spent time in the BCHL with the Trail Smoke Eaters and Vernon Vipers, scoring three times and totaling nine points in 19 games during the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons.

ALBERTA’S MOST ARTICULATE HORTICULTURALIST

Thursday April 3rd

t is a very good thing the Nitehawks are moving along through the playofs and will likely survive through at least the next month. Beaver Valley is going to be the DAVE only thing actively uniting this area for the foreseeable future, it Sports ‘n’ Things seems. The team is a truly local enterprise, owned and operated very successfully by local people and boasting a roster laden with local talent (currently 10 players from Greater Trail). It should be a no-brainer for the wider community to embrace and support their efforts. That is unlike much of what passes for community involvement around here, from recreational/educational services to infrastructure maintenance. Go Nitehawks! And go fans - out to the valley on Monday to shoehorn your way into the Hawks’ Nest. • Here and in the wider world of Canadian Hockey the next couple of months are likely to be divisive as well. At present only one Canadian NHL franchise has a spot, and likely a lock, on playoff competition, that being the Montreal Canadians. However, despite their name, the Habs do not have a lock on Canadian fan support. It has been well said before that here and in the cross country world of hockey fandom, there are, “Habs,” and, “Habs Not,” and even if Monteal becomes the only Canadian entry in the Stanley Cup race it is highly doubtful that twain will meet in common cause. It seems unlikely that Montreal has the horses to make a run to the Cup and become the first Canadian team to win that trophy in 21 seasons (Habs, 93), but even in that unlikely event one supposes only half, at best, of Canadian hockey fans will be on board with the celebration. Even the stellar performance of Carey Price during Canada’s gold medal run in Socchi was denigrated by many as a ride-along with a dominant team - even here where he is a feel good B.C. success story - mostly because in real life Price toils in the Bleu, Blanc et Rouge. Oh, well, I hope, at least, that we can all be on board with welcoming Spring - if it ever shows up.

Religion

Cookies and Trail & District Churches funerals go together The Attacks of the Devil I do not enjoy attending funerals. And yet, I frequently come away from a funeral feeling peaceful and uplifted, in a subdued sort of way. A well-celebrated funeral puts me in touch with humanity, and reminds me that each life has a transcendent meaning. As a funeral I recently attended illustrates, the transcendent meaning of life might be uncovered in something trivial, like cookies. On the back page of the memorial card for this funeral, there louise was a recipe for ginger snaps. During the eulogy, we learned Everyday Theology that this was not a standard recipe for ginger snaps. The daughter of the deceased told us that one time her mother added too much flour resulting in a snappier cookie. Since she liked the cookies that way, she continued to make them with extra flour, and the cookies became a family favorite. As her daughter spoke about her mother’s love for her family, which, in typical Italian fashion, often manifested itself in platters of food at family gatherings, I could picture multiple generations of her family enjoying the crunchy cookie. Usually memorial cards end up in my blue box, but this one found its way into my black binder of recipes. I have already made these cookies, and I must say, they are the best ginger snaps ever. Who knows, maybe this recipe will one day be inducted into my family’s cookie hall of fame, joining another cookie recipe – my mother-inlaw’s famous oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. For two generations, before she passed away some years ago, my mother-in-law made copious batches of her signature cookie. When her six sons were growing up, she would make 12 dozen at a time, and on one occasion, two of her sons polished off almost the entire 12 dozen as the cookies cooled on the counter. While her grandchildren were slightly more restrained, they too relished her chocolate chip cookies as her great grandchildren will in the years to come. Cookies can never sum up the complexity of a human life, but they may point to a person who lived and loved well. The unique crunch of a ginger snap, and the aroma of chocolate chip cookies cooling on a counter trigger memory and make the person, whose love continues to surround us beyond the grave, present to us once again. Cookies and funerals remind us that our lives are greater than our physical presence in the here and now. We do not go to enough funerals. Indeed, funerals seem to have fallen out of fashion. This is unfortunate because apart from helping us through the process of loss, funerals give us a glimpse of the totality of human life from birth to death and beyond. In the life of the deceased, we recognize the basic ingredients of all human life, even if our recipe for living differs. Funerals provide a point of intersection between mortality and transcendence. The lowly cookie, tantalizing the taste buds of successive generations, re-presents a life well lived in love, vanished from our eyes, yet still present in the memory of the heart.

THE

SALVATION ARMY

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted. “But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you” (Luke 11:20).

Jesus’ exorcisms were a sign that the kingdom of God has arrived on earth. He had the power of God to cast out demons, the minions of Satan. Christ is the stronger man who conquers the strong man Satan and divides his spoil. “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace; but when one stronger than he assails him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoil” (Luke 11:2122). Jesus is this man who is stronger than Satan and who conquers him and destroys his kingdom. In Jesus the kingdom of Satan is destroyed and the kingdom of God enters the world. If we believe in Jesus and trust in him, we are members of his kingdom, and he will overcome Satan for us. We need this power of Jesus over Satan every day, because although Jesus is stronger than Satan, nonetheless we still suffer under Satan’s attacks. So “be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith” (1 Pet. 5:8-9). “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). We must resist the temptations of the devil and not accept them. “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Eph. 6:11). The devil attacks us in our thoughts to overcome us and depress us. We should not think that our battle against Satan is now over because Christ is with us. Christ will overcome, and through faith we live in his kingdom of peace on earth, but Satan still has power until the final day to defile our spirit and rob us of our peace if we let him. We can always fall into sins of thought and lose our peace. So we must ever keep guard over our thoughts against the attacks of Satan if we want to live in peace with God in his kingdom. We need Christ’s power to forgive us and restore us to his peace when we fall into sin in our thoughts by letting down our guard and not resisting the attacks of the devil. And we have his power of forgiveness when we pray for it, especially when we use the sacrament of reconciliation (John 20:22-23) that personally applies the merits of Christ’s death on the cross to our heart, depressed for having fallen into the traps of the devil in our thoughts. And Christ will forgive us and restore his peace again to our heart through the merits of his death, whereby he paid for our sins, suffering for them in his own flesh, bearing their punishment for us, instead of us, thus making satisfaction and full reparation for them. Then, once we are forgiven and freed from the defilement of our sin of thought, we will once again be resplendent with the glory of the righteousness of Christ himself shining in us. © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev.

Romantic personality may have been a facade Dear Annie: I’m in my early 50s and have been married to “Ralph” for two years. At first, he was attentive and romantic, sending flowers and writing cards. We went on frequent weekend trips where we would focus only on each other. In the past year, Ralph’s job responsibilities tripled, and so did his stress levels. His mother has had numerous hospitalizations, and his teenage son began experimenting with drugs and alcohol. As a result, our marriage and sex life have suffered. We still have a date night, but we cannot get away for a weekend because there is no one to leave his son with. Most of our “dates” involve Ralph cracking his knuckles while I try to carry on a lighthearted conversation. Last night, Ralph said that even though we are terribly busy, we should take what few moments we can find

Annie’s

to have sex. I told him that, like most women, I respond better if there is some romance attached, and that I need us to really connect emotionally. I desperately want him to look into my eyes in a way that lets me know he is still crazy about me. But Ralph says he is unable to turn off his stress and that married people should be able to have a few minutes of sex without worrying about my “soap opera view of marriage.” He thinks it’s immature of me to expect wining and dining before sex. I offered to meet him halfway. I still need the occasional connection. He calls that

“high maintenance” and says my ideas are unrealistic. He is very different from the loving and funny man I married. He absolutely refuses counseling. Am I wrong here? -- High Maintenance in Ponte Vedra Beach Dear Ponte: This is not about right and wrong. It’s about expectations, adjustments and effort. The flowers and notes are lovely, but it’s unrealistic to expect Ralph to continue these thoughtful gestures when his brain is overloaded with worries about his son, his mother and his job. Ralph also wants a connection, but like many men, to him that means physical closeness. He doesn’t need romantic gestures, so he thinks you are being frivolous. Here’s your compromise: Tell him that once a week, you need him to look into your eyes and say how much you mean to him. With

sincerity. In return, you will stop nursing a sense of neglect that he no longer focuses on your romantic desires as much as he did before. If he cannot manage even this much, we fear that the romantic personality was only a facade. Dear Annie: When attending a celebration (wedding, bar mitzvah, etc.), I look forward to conversing with friends and family. That desire is repeatedly sabotaged by the band playing at ear-damaging levels. I’m only 50, yet find myself bringing earplugs so I don’t get a headache or start to go deaf. Does the music have to be so loud just for dancing? Don’t the hosts know that this level of volume diminishes the enjoyment of their celebration? -Please Turn It Down Dear Please: We’ve mentioned this before. With studies showing that excessively loud music can cause early and severe hearing

loss, we are surprised people still find this a good idea. If you are screaming to be heard over the music, it’s too loud. Use earplugs or walk out. The band will pipe down only if the hosts request it. Dear Annie: This is about “N.Y.,” the

35-year-old man who thinks his mother is controlling because she puts her arm across him in the front seat if she comes to a sudden stop. I confess that I put my right arm across ANYONE who is in the front seat if I stop short. This guy needs

more than counseling. He needs a swift kick in the butt for being such an absolutely insufferable jerk. -- M., The Villages, Fla. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, March 29, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your attraction to a new friend might not sit well with a third party, especially if he or she is worried about money or sharing property. Enjoy what you can. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A partner or close friend might be jealous because he or she suspects you are attracted to your boss or someone in a position of authority. This person sees it as tough competition. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Travel opportunities hopefully will override your responsibilities at work, because you do want to escape. Do your homework and see if you can slip away. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Romance is sweet and affectionate today; never-

theless, someone objects. This could be someone in authority (like a boss or a parent), or just obstacles that make things tough. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a wonderful day to schmooze with others, especially partners and close friends. You can attend to duties and responsibilities at home later. (One hopes.) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Romance with someone at work might begin for some of you today. All of you will enjoy hanging out with co-workers. Nevertheless, someone is a party pooper. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Sports events, the arts, playful times with children and romantic connections all are positive choices today. The only downside is that sometimes these things cost money. Too much! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You are industrious

at home, making things look better or introducing improvements to where you live. Bravo! Don’t listen to those who criticize and discourage you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You have lots of mental energy today because your mind is in a positive head space. This will help you to succeed if you have to sell, market, teach, act or write anything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is a good day for business, commerce and all financial matters. However, you also will enjoy shopping and buying beautiful treasures for yourself and loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You’ll actively pursue pleasure today, because why not? Venus in your sign is getting a full charge from

Mars. Naturally, authority figures are suspicious. Oh well. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Secret love affairs might take place for some today, because something hidden is taking place. For others, it will be easy to discover buried treasure, secrets and the answer to a mystery. YOU BORN TODAY You wait to see if others are serious before you take them

seriously. You are idealistic and loyal. Once you perceive your path or life direction, you just go forward. You can laugh at yourself and see life’s ironies.
