Buckley’s closed for day use due to ‘unruly’ guests
HIGH FLYER
Overnight camping still allowed BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff
In the season of hot sun and outdoor activities, Buckley Campground's day use area, southeast of Trail, has been closed due to misuse of the area by a few guests. BC Hydro owns the campground at the Pend D'Oreille Recreation Area, and Sabrina Locicero, communications and stakeholder engagement officer, says the campground has closed its day use area due to reports and complaints about public safety concerns on the site. “There were enough [complaints] “There were that we decided it (enough) was making the site complaints that unsafe,” she said. “As we decided it was a recreational site, it is designed for fammaking the site ily use and also for unsafe.” people to use for recreational purposes. SABRINA LOCICERO With the reports we were getting, we had to address those concerns immediately.” Reports and complaints received included threats of violence, excessive alcohol consumption and “other unsafe activities,” said Locicero. “[The operator] had discussions with folks that were some of our unruly guests who had been there for a while,” she said. “There was some escalation from there and it got to the point where conversations with them weren't working.” The concerns were serious enough that BC Hydro came to the decision to close the day use and the boat launch to visitors. “We had to make the decision to close down the day use area and the boat ramp site,” said Locicero, adding that overnight guests currently camping aren't getting kicked out of the area. “The campers that are there for now are welcome to stay and they can use the boat ramp site, but in the meantime, the day use is closed as a means of addressing our concerns.” Locicero says the next step is to take care of current concerns and move forward from there. “Our hope with this is that we close the site, we address the immediate concerns and following that, we will reassess again,” she said. “We know it is a well-used facility and the majority of the guests are not a concern and we want them to be able to use the facilities and use that beautiful site.” The Buckley Campground hasn't been closed for this reason in recent memory says Locicero and BC Hydro hopes to avoid it in the future.

Montrose mayor will seek re-election BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
A second Beaver Valley politician is ready to seek re-election this fall. Montrose’s Joe Danchuk confirmed Monday night that he is ready to tackle the job as village mayor for another four years. Danchuk was a mayoral newcomer after winning the race in 2011, and after an eventful first term filled with water woes and recreational upset, he is again ready to go to bat. “I had to make sure my wife was on board first because this is a big com-
mitment that takes away time from the family,” said Danchuk. Since February, he has been knee deep in Beaver Valley recreation troubles but the Montrose mayor and now regional district director, is determined to find solutions to fractured regional recreation. “I’ve become very involved in this and I think our recreation is really in trouble,” he said. “It’s so important for everyone in the area to have access to recreation,” Danchuk continued. “We need to work together regionally and find something that works for everyone.
“That is something I would like to see through.” A legislative decision made earlier this year extends local government terms from three years to four years following the Nov. 15 civic election. Adding the extra year has some elected officials thinking twice before running again. Montrose councillors Don Berriault, Mary Gay, Cindy Cook and Don Duclos said they need more time to consider a four-year commitment and can’t comment if their names will be on the ballots this fall.

P.J. Easton of Sierra Landscaping didn’t need a digital readout to tell him that it was hot on Wednesday. However, the temperature reading on the sign along Victoria Street in downtown Trail confirmed an expected high of 34 C. Meanwhile, Easton was among the Sierra work crew that is fixing irrigation lines and refurbishing the planters with new soil and vegetation along the downtown corridor as part Phase 2 of the revitalization plan.

Security added to campsite to monitor behaviour
FROM PAGE 1 For now, it has added security to the area to keep unwanted behaviour to a minimum. “We have got some extra people on site and we have staff that are present to observe what is happening and to make sure that the people that are there camping and want to enjoy the area, are able to do so,”

Report on arrest of accused robber complete
Home damaged by vehicle
By Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star
B.C.’s Independent Investigations Office has completed its report on the arrest of a man accused in two Nelson armed robberies. The office, which looks into police-related incidents involving death or serious injury, was brought in after the suspect, Andrew Stevenson, jumped off a bridge and fell 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 m) while being pursued by police. He suffered “significant injuries” and was taken to hospital. He was on crutches during recent court appearances. Kellie Kirkpatrick with the Independent Investigations office said a report was turned over last week to chief civilian director Richard Rosenthal. He will review it and either send the file back for further investigation, conclude an officer may have committed an offence and send the file to Crown counsel for charge assessment, or decide an officer did not commit an offence and release a public report. The office’s threshold for a report to Crown is much lower than for other police services. As of Monday, it had concluded 69 files with 43 public reports and 26 reports to Crown counsel. Charges have been approved in three cases, while charge decisions are pending in nine others. He remains in custody while his co-accused, Kristi Kalmikoff, has been released on bail. She has pled not guilty to ten counts and elected trial by judge and jury. Both are expected to return to court July 29.

A house on Riverside Avenue was damaged over the weekend after it was allegedly hit by a vehicle. Trail Times canvassed the neighbourhood near the Old Trail Bridge after the newspaper received tips that a truck drove into a residence Saturday evening. According to one eyewitness account, following a very loud crash at approximately 11:30 p.m that night, police cruisers were immediately on scene. The pickup appeared to be heading south toward Casino Road when it veered off the road near the 1900 block of Riverside Ave. and careened into the side of the house. Requests for information from the Trail RCMP detachment went unanswered by press time.

Trail’s seasoned Mayor Dieter Bogs announced he is retiring after 17 years, and to date two potential candidates have stepped forward stating intent to run for the position. Mike Martin, a retired general manager from Teck Trail Operations, threw his hat in the ring in April, and former Local 480 President Doug Jones declared intent to run
for Trail mayor last month. The rule book for the 2014 General Local Elections has been modified this year, and in Tuesday news release, Minister Coralee Oakes outlined the new requirements. The changes will ensure “transparency and accountability,” noted Oakes, adding that Elections BC has a role to provide education and ensure compliance in local elections. The new guidelines focus on financial disclosure and third-party sponsorship and all this information will now be published online by Elections BC. “Those who intend to run for local government office in the fall election can be campaigning now, but nomination papers cannot be submitted until the time period noted (Sept. 30),” explained Michelle McIsaac, Trail’s corporate administrator and chief elections officer. “Further they must track campaign contributions and expenses as of January 1.”

Residents oppose Telus cell tower Wildfire continues to grow By Joe Fries
Penticton Western News
The promise of better wireless service hasn’t been enough to persuade some Naramata residents of the need for a new telecommunications tower in their community. Telus is currently working through the public consultation
phase of a plan to install a 40-metre monopole on a Smethurst Road property next to the KVR Trail, which has prompted some backlash. “A lot of people have concerns who live around it, for various reasons, one being it usually diminishes property value. And one that’s really
Tumbler Ridge
important to me is the impact on the KVR,” said Karla Kozakevich, the area director for the Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen. “As you’re going along the KVR, due to (the monopole’s) height, it’s going to be above the trees. You’re going to be looking right at it.”

While authority to permit the tower ultimately rests with Industry Canada, permission would also be required from the Agricultural Land Commission. Kozakevich said the RDOS can effectively kill the project by declining to forward Telus’ application to the ALC, so she’ll be listening closely to public sentiment at an open house tonight.

THE CANADIAN PRESS TUMBLER RIDGE, B.C. - A forest fire in northeastern B.C. has more than quadrupled in size in 24 hours and threatens to singe Alberta’s boundary. Information officer Jill Kelsh says the blaze about 60 kilometres southeast of Tumbler Ridge has grown to 3,100 hectares from the estimated 650 hectares on Tuesday, sending out a massive plume of smoke. Kelsh says the main concerns for crews are keeping the fire from oil and gas wellheads in the area and trying to stop it from spreading across the boundary into Alberta. About 200 people have been evacuated from two oil and gas camps in the area while the number of personnel attacking the fire is expected to grow to 100 by the end of Wednesday. Kelsh says those fighting the blaze are seeing Rank 3 and Rank 4 fire behaviour, which means the flames are growing up to the tops of trees.

Priscilla tells Elvis fans to ‘calm down’ over plane flap THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Priscilla Presley is asking fans of her late ex-husband Elvis Presley to “please calm down” after a report that two jets once owned by the singer could be removed from Graceland. Fans have posted critical comments on Facebook since The Associated Press reported last week that Elvis Presley Enterprises informed the owners of the Lisa Marie and the Hound Dog II to prepare to remove the planes when their agreement ends next April. Elvis Presley Enterprises operates the Graceland tourist attraction, and OKC Partnership owns the planes. On July 2, Priscilla Presley posted a comment on her Facebook page saying: “I see your posts about the planes. Please calm down, we’re in the midst of negotiations. It’s as simple as that. Thank you.” On Sunday, she posted another statement. “I’m reading what you are saying, but listen, the people who own the plane put the release out to intentionally upset everyone. We’re on top of it. Thank you for your trust in us.” The planes were bought by Elvis Presley in 1975 and used on concert tours. They were sold after his death on Aug. 16, 1977, and were eventually purchased by OKC Partnership in Memphis. Earlier this year, Elvis Presley Enterprises sent a letter to OKC Partnership’s K.G. Coker, asking Coker “to make arrangements for the removal of the airplanes and the restoration of the site on or shortly after April 26, 2015.”
Boy’s fundraiser nets $50,000 for sick friend BY NEIL CORBETT Maple Ridge News
The fundraising goal of $20,000 was eclipsed before the boys’ lemonade stand even opened for business. The story of Maple Ridge seven-year-olds Brayden and Quinn – one needing lifechanging surgery in the U.S., and the other wanting to help his best friend – touched the hearts of a lot of people. B r a y d e n Grozdanich has cerebral palsy. His muscles are stiff and spastic on one side, he walks with the help of a leg brace, and he gets regular speech therapy. He’s shy, but he’s sharp. Quinn Collander has been his friend through kindergarten and Grade 1 at Hammond Elementary. Quinn’s parents are Scouting leaders, and the boys are in Beavers together. They also go on camp trips, play some video games of course, and swim in the pool Brayden’s grandfather owns. After a swim, Brayden’s muscles become pulled taught,
and he needs physiotherapy. Watching his friend getting physio had an impact on Quinn. “Brayden was upset, and had some tears, and Quinn was really affected by that,” recalled his mom, Heather Roney who heard about it from Quinn, and agreed to help him with the fundraiser. The family built a lemonade stand, secured some space at the entrance to the Real Canadian Superstore, and put the word out through social media. It took off. “I asked my mom if we could to a lemonade stand to raise money,” explained Quinn at Sunday’s event. “I want to be able to play more games with him (Brayden).” He was surprised and excited by the attention his lemonade stand garnered. Customers flocked in. A tearful woman pressed a donation into an organizer’s hand. The media arrived, and television news teams from the big Vancouver channels were there filming. Then four fire
trucks pulled up, as firefighters gave support to one of their own – Brayden’s father Travis is an on-call firefighter. “It’s great!” said Quinn, looking around. “This is a big success, right?” Roney put a donation website up at youcaring.com, under the heading “My Buddy Brayden.” It had collected $23,000 already by Sunday morning. An elderly man came to the stand with a $5 donation. “You’re a fine young man,” he said to Quinn. “You’re doing a good job.” On Monday, after the lemonade stand, their fundraising total stood at $52,000. The largest single donation was $2,000 by a Vancouver family. A touching donation came from a man who is a quadriplegic, bound to a wheelchair, who gave $500. “It’s really overwhelming,” said Toni, Brayden’s mother. “But it’s amazing. There are no words to describe what everyone has done.” Travis said he was
“blown away” by the fundraiser, and the support for it. “It’s pretty overwhelming, for Quinn to want to do that for his friend.”
Brayden, his mother and grandmother will fly to New Jersey for surgery on Aug. 7. Whatever concerns they have, money will not be one of them.

T
he City of Trail has its fingers crossed that citizens will see the value of a new river crossing and vote in favour of borrowing the money needed to complete the project. But having your fingers crossed is pretty risky way of getting approval for a major infrastructure project. The city has circled Aug. 23 as the date they’ll put the question to Trail voters. The timing isn’t great due to summer holidays but to take advantage of the pipe bridge construction, the time is now. That means the city has 45 days from today to convince people that spending almost $5 million is a good idea. To put that into perspective, we searched for over 365 days before plunking down $4,500 on a car for my daughter. To say time is of the essence is an under-statement. Yet aside from my work-related duties I’ve heard very little from the city on why this is a move that deserves my support. While the city touts it on its Facebook site the reality is the majority of the population in Trail doesn’t spend a lot of time
on Facebook, regardless of what the trend is in urban areas, and even less on the city’s site. City representatives have talked about it at the outdoor market but those come up every two weeks, which means there are only a handful of market days before the referendum. So that leaves the marquee in front of the Trail Memorial Centre that simply asks voters to vote yes on the referendum. The pro-bridge message would get more exposure if the city put a sign on the Victoria St. Bridge like the Trail Smoke Eaters do to promote their next game. At least people driving over the bridge will notice that on their commute. The city doesn’t need to produce a glossy flyer either. For example, the single page flyer that announces the spring and fall clean-ups always get my attention and space on the refrigerator. All they need to tell me about the bridge should be able to fit on a single flyer – why the new one is needed and why the old one is beyond repair. Simple enough but, as I already pointed out, time is running out for the sales

pitch. I agree with Coun. Cacchioni that it would be a shame if only 200 people decided the fate of such an important project. This is a big decision for Trail. One, if approved, will change the landscape of the city for decades. But the city can’t expect people to come out unless they feel their vote is important. And the way to make anyone feel important is to talk to them, listen to them and answer their questions. Obviously the staff and councillors can’t go doorto-door but the mail carriers certainly do (at least for the time being). Setting up displays or signboards, at the aquatic centre and Trail Memorial Centre, are steps that can
be taken quickly, effectively and efficiently. I don’t suggest they go as far as stapling posters on poles around town but it certainly does the trick when getting the message out that there’s a garage sale or a band playing somewhere. Perhaps the sad part of this is that I think the walking bridge would be a great addition to the city. Anything that encourages walking is always a good investment, especially for a community like Trail, which has an older but still active population. Add to that the opportunity to re-connect areas around Butler Park and the aquatic centre to downtown would be a great move. But the onus is on the city. We can write about the pros and cons in the Trail Times and let readers make up their minds. But our job isn’t to convince people that it’s a good idea. That duty falls on the city. But the clock is ticking. There is a lot of misinformation out there. Despite publishing pictures of an artist’s rendition, some still think Trail is planning to build a suspension bridge like the one
connecting to Zuckerberg Island in Castlegar. Few seem to realize that there will still be something spanning the Columbia River, but it’s up to them if it’s going to be an unsightly pipe bridge or a useful walking bridge. In a year of municipal elections and a year away from federal elections, residents could be forgiven if they’re overwhelmed by all the talk leading up to various voting days. But this is one where residents will see a direct impact of their vote. That doesn’t happen very often in today’s hyper-partisan world of politics. For once every vote will matter on the final decision. It’s definitely something every tax paying Trail resident should be aware of. It’s an easy message to deliver but it takes an effort to spread it around. In the classic movie “Field of Dreams,” the lasting quote is, “If you build it, they will come.” Perhaps for the City of Trail’s bridge of dreams, the catchphrase should be, “If you promote it, they will vote for it.” Guy Bertrand is the managing editor of the Trail Times.

Letters to the editor
Starsicle support greatly appreciated We would like a take a moment to share some shimmering thoughts about the brilliant people of Trail and the shiniest Market on the Esplanade. We are the Starsicle people. The Nelson gourmet popsicle company who is facing down the corporation Unilever. The King Kong of Popsicles is threatening extremely aggresive legal action to our approved trademark over the word “sicle”. Thank you so much for the support we have received by this newspaper! We admit, this Big Brand Bully is scaring the living popsicle pants right off of us BUT... We are feisty dreamers! For we are Kootenay United Dreamers in fact. My sweetheart and I have been heads down preparing for the battle on our computer and in the recording studio for months to create (hopefully!) a viral video. This past Friday at the glori-
ous Market on the Esplanade we came to the people with our struggle. So, so, so many of you took the time to hear our story and give us many many words of encouragement. Imagine our hope! Imagine our relief! Yippee*sicles! At the end of a day we shall never forget, we had one more struggle to face. My sweetheart, who has MS, had a meltdown in the heat. Heat is like kryptonite to my superman and he could not lift himself from his wheelchair into our van. I couldn’t either. As my tears of desperate worry began to fall, quick as a flash, Norm, one of the coordinators of this shiniest of markets, dropped everything and came to our rescue. He got down on his knees, offered his strong shoulder and lifted my superman so carefully and safely into our van. Norm, you shine.
We drove home exhausted, teary but feeling so completely uplifted. In all your kind actions, we are affirmed...we are not alone. For we are family. Family watches out for each other. To you Miss Eleanor, daughter of Carmen*sicle, bless your big heart for adopting us as your own. Our song says, You Can’t Light the World on Your Own. Now we know, we don’t have to. Starsicles are from Planet Bennu, a shiny wondrous place where darkness melts under the warmth of love. We created it with our new baby grandaughter in our hearts. We will one day tell her, it is a real place. Then take her to Trail. Next market we will be with you all! With a freezer full of Thank You*sicles. Rain Shields and Daniel Carson Nelson

the Keystone XL pipeline? In fact, isn’t this exactly what many critics on both sides of the issue have been urging? I can’t tell you how I know without endangering our source, but I can tell you that a dirty deal has been struck in secret. Sierra Club has learned that the Alberta government is going to increase its “carbon tax” probably after the November U.S. elections. There will be great fanfare and trips to Washington. People like me will be forced to applaud. Hold that applause and hear the rest of the plan. Our friends at CAPP (Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers) negotiated a nifty deal with the Alberta government to mitigate the cost to oil sands producers. In return for accepting a higher carbon tax, the oil companies will get a slackening of the rules on cleaning up the tailings ponds at the oil sands mines. This will neutralize the cost of the carbon emissions but at great risk. The tailings ponds are an ecological time bomb. One scientist told me a single leak into the Athabasca River could kill everything downstream. They hold millions of gallons of highly toxic contaminated water. When CAPP was asked about the arrangement its spokesperson said “no comment”. This arrangement puts thousands of lives at risk in a cynical attempt to manipulate public opinion. So two very reckless plans are being negotiated in secret and you and I are supposed to trust our best interests are being looked after. I hate secrets. John Bennett is Executive Director of Sierra Club Canada.

The Colville runner slides safely under the tag of Trail catcher Noah Quinn of the 9-10 Orioles, however, Trail would go on to win both ends of an exhibition doubleheader in its final games before the B.C. Little League championships start Saturday at Andy Bilesky Park.
Little Leaguers win bronze By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
The Trail Orioles Little League Minor and Major baseball teams hard work and preparation for the provincials paid off on the weekend as both teams won unprecedented bronze medals at the July 4th Firecraker tournament in Kalispell, Mont. The Minor Orioles are getting set to take the field for the B.C. 9-10 Baseball championship starting Saturday and played their final games on Tuesday against Colville after taking bronze in the Kalispell tournament. The 9-10 Orioles went undefeated in the round robin beating Kalispell 13-9 after coming back from a 9-5 deficit in the final inning. The Orioles downed Polson 14-3 highlighted by a fifth inning grand slam by Darrin Issel, before taking out the Missoula Mud Dawgs 8-1. In the semifinal match up the Orioles played the tournament champion from Missoula who scored five runs in the second inning on their way to a 7-1 victory over the O’s. “They scored five in the second and we couldn’t hit,” said coach Jim Maniago. “Basically we ran into a stud of a pitcher that overwhelmed us . . . Once he came out in the fifth we loaded the bases twice but couldn’t get a key hit to make it close.” In the bronze-medal game the 9-10 Orioles beat Whitefish 3-1 to take third and then watched Missoula trounce Columbia
Inglehart
Falls 16-0 in the final. “The boys played great,” said Maniago. “Aside from the one loss, we played pretty well.” The 9-10 O’s played a pair of final tuneup games against Colville Tuesday at Andy Bileski Park beating the visitors 12-9 in the first match before defeating them 13-3 in the second half of the doubleheader. Meanwhile the 11-12 Major Orioles also performed well taking third place out of 20 teams in the Kalispell tournament. The O’s dropped its first match to Florence 3-2 on Friday, before dumping Columbia Falls 14-4 and Medicine Hat 16-1. In the quarter-final match, Trail beat Missoula 3-2 before falling to eventual winners Lethbridge 10-0. The Orioles picked it up a notch in the bronze-medal game, gaining a measure of revenge with a 1-0 victory over Florence. “Anytime you can come out with that quality of a tournament and place you’re doing something right, and we obviously played pretty well,” said coach Mike Boisvert. The 11-12 Orioles will head to Langley July 18 for the Little League Major provincials from July 19-26 and have been practicing rigorously to get ready for the event. For the 9-10 provincials at Andy Bilesky Park this week, Trail Little League is still looking for volunteers to help out with the concession, 50-50 draws, grounds crews, and prize tables.

Team Canada Women’s field hockey team will play in the Four-Nations Cup in Dublin, Ireland this week as a final tuneup for the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Led by Rossland’s Thea Culley, Team Canada will faceoff against Ireland, Chile, and New Zealand in the four-day tournament as a prelude to the XXth Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scot., July 23 to Aug. 3. Culley, a veteran of 106 Caps, is one of four veteran players remaining from the 2010 Games in New Delhi, India, but is confident with the progress the young team has made under coach Ian Rutledge. “We have just finished a very intense block of training and the improvements have been significant,” said Culley in an email to the Times. “We are growing as a team and have started to pick up on each individual’s style and preferences. We are connecting well on the pitch and having lots of fun off the pitch.” Canada wrapped up a five-match tour of the United Kingdom in May where they finished with two wins, two draws, and one loss, including tying the then world number-3 ranked England and beating Wales 4-0 in their final match. Culley says the team’s greatest strength is its speed, combined with grit and determination, the young squad is ready to compete against the world’s
top-ranked teams. “My expectations are that we compete in every game,” said Culley. “Our focus has been to own our individual role and execute what we need to execute. We are very process oriented because with strong process comes the outcome.” Recent results bode well for a team that also won bronze in the Pan American Cup in October with a 2-1 victory over Chile, and will open the FourNations Cup with a rematch against the South American team on Saturday. Despite almost eight years playing for the National Team, the 28-year-old Rossland Secondary School graduate couldn’t be more content than competing for her country. “I am still enjoying it,” says Culley. “When I leave work for training during the day, I can’t wipe the smile off my face. Hockey is definitely still a way better job.” Culley will be one of almost 300 Canadian athletes attending the Games, joining over 6,500 athletes from 71 countries. “I am also looking forward to sharing this experience with my family who will be there to support me. They weren’t at the last games in India so it will be very special to have them be a part of the Games as well.” Team Canada plays Chile on Saturday, Ireland Sunday, and number-4 world ranked New Zealand on Monday before the playoffs on Tuesday.
Kootenay Storm return from B.C.s By Times Staff Medals eluded the Kootenay South Storm soccer teams at the Les Sinnot Memorial Cup and the B.C. Girls B soccer championships last weekend despite some close games and shootout losses. Last year’s bronze-medal winning U16 team lost its bid for a medal finishing the round robin with two ties and one loss. The team dropped its opening match to defending champion Royal City Westminster, 5-1, having a difficult time with the artificial turf. They then tied the Prince George Timberwolves 1-1, who would go onto take second spot, losing 2-1 in the final to eventual winner Kelowna United. The Storm tied Cowichan Valley by the same 1-1 score to round out the round robin before dropping a 2-1 game on penalty kicks to Terrace Sunday in the 5-6 match. The U13 boys would claim sixth spot overall after a tough 2-1 loss to Prince George Timberwolves. The U13’s beat Terrace in their first match but would fall to Surrey FC 6-1 and Saanich 5-0 to settle for the 5-6 place game. The U14 Kootenay South team would win their playoff match beating SeaAir 2,

Kootenay South striker Chantel Seymour had many quality chances against the Nelson Selects but couldn’t capitalize as the Storm went winless in the B.C. Girls B championship on the weekend. 3-0, for a seventh place finish. In the U15 girls B.C. Soccer B Cup championship Kootenay South lost a close 7-8 place match to Prince George 2-1, while the U18 Kootenay South Saints fell 5-0 to the Chilliwack Attack in their final match.

Asexuality is a lack of interest in either sex Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
siblings. I can be affectionate, and I enjoy giving hugs to the people I love. I can recognize that someone is attractive, but the idea of being intimate doesn’t appeal to me. I accepted this a long time ago and feel comfortable in my skin. Over the years when someone tried to fix me up with someone, I always declined or came up with an excuse. Now everyone thinks I’m gay and in the closet. Let me be clear, I firmly believe your sexual orientation is determined when you’re born. I also believe my lack of an orientation was also determined at birth. It has nothing to
obese, and they are killing themselves. What’s the big deal in saying so? I am 78 years old and weigh the same as I did in high school through effort and sacrifice. Give me a break! -- Not a Rude Guy, Just Honest Dear Not: The fact that something may be true does not make it less rude. Would you say, “My goodness, that’s an ugly baby!” or “You are really unattractive”? It is not OK to disparage someone’s size when they already know they are heavy, and you have no idea whether there are underlying reasons or whether they’ve been working hard on it. It can be especially galling when someone who never has had a weight problem thinks he knows enough to pass judgment. More importantly, it doesn’t help the other person lose weight, so being rude is simply a form of selfindulgence. Whatever
effort and sacrifice you put into maintaining your weight might now be put to good use learning to be kinder. Dear Annie: My heart broke after reading the letter from “Lonely in Love,” whose husband doesn’t pay any attention to her after three
years of marriage. As someone who has been in the same situation, I thought you gave her good advice. I’d like to add that she should give herself a timeline for change. Otherwise, she will just be older and lonelier with less self-esteem.

do with being straight or gay. I seriously have no idea how to deal with this. Should I just stay silent and let them think what they want, or should I try to explain how I feel? Please don’t recommend counseling. I don’t feel abnormal. Not being physically attracted seems normal. -- Conflicted in Kentucky Dear Conflicted: There is a name for this. You are asexual -- not interested in physical intimacy with either sex. More importantly, there is a support group for you at AVEN at asexuality.org. Dear Annie: I read your response to “Concerned Old Man in West Hills,” who didn’t understand why his niece was upset when he told her she was fat. You said it was rude to comment on one’s appearance. Why in hell do you think pointing out that someone is fat is so rude? They are
2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
Dear Annie: I am a 42-year-old single man who has never been married or even been in a relationship. I’m perfectly content with this, but apparently, the people in my life are not. The truth is, I am not nor have I ever been attracted to either sex. I don’t know whether there is something seriously wrong with me, or whether there is even a name for what I am. I realized I was different in middle school when all my friends became interested in dating, but I couldn’t care less. I figured it would eventually change, but it never did. In my senior year in high school, I confessed this to my best friend, who told me I was a freak. I never mentioned it again to anyone. There is no underlying factor for why I am like I am. I was not abused as a child, and I had a great relationship with my parents and

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Friday, July 11, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Conversations with authority figures will be intense today. Beware! There is an influence today that makes people want to improve others. Run away! Hide! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don’t let people overwhelm you with religious or political rhetoric, because it’s easy to encounter those who want to hear the sound of their own voice today. Oh well. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a poor day to discuss shared property, inheritances and disputes about insurance, because people will dig in their heels and not compromise. Wait for another day. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Resist the urge to try to make someone over today. And don’t let anyone do

this to you. (But that is what everyone wants to do.) You need this like a fish needs a bicycle. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might have bright ideas about how to introduce reforms at work or make improvements in how you do your job; nevertheless, this could arouse resistance from others. Go gently, gently. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Be gentle and understanding with children today, because everyone will become heated and resentful quite easily. Don’t throw your weight around. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might want to use today’s energy to clean up your home and, most especially, get rid of what you no longer need. Recycle, sell or turf it. When your home is too cluttered, so is your mind.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Today you will be convincing in all your conversations with others. In fact, “convincing” might be a mild term for it. Go easy with the little people. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Avoid arguments about money, earnings and possibly your possessions. People are not in the frame of mind to cooperate or compro-
mise. Postpone these discussions for another day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Today the Moon is in your sign, lined up with Pluto. This makes you emotionally intense and a bit obsessive. You might want to lighten up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You might discover new aspects of yourself or feelings that you didn’t real-
ize you had today. It’s as if you are able to plumb your deeper self. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Avoid intense discussions with a female acquaintance today, because they could be a bit too much. Have this discussion another day. YOU BORN TODAY You are gregarious and social. You know many things, because you like to have something fascinating to
