RCMP issue sketch of senior’s attacker RCMP
The Cranbrook RCMP are continuing their investigation into the Monday, Jan. 28, 2013 assault in which a 74-year-old Cranbrook resident was out for a walk shortly before 6 p.m. in the 4th Street North and 17th Avenue area, when he was attacked by a stranger. Investigators have released a copy of a composite sketch of the male suspect. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, approximately six feet tall with short brown hair, slim but muscular build and brown short hair. The assailant was unshaven (had stubble), and was wearing a black jacket and possibly a ball cap.

IF THE SHOES FIT …: Keely Hamilton was one of the visitors to Fort Steele Heritage Town on the Family Day long weekend who tried out old-fashioned snow shoes — a hit, by all accounts. Ft. Steele marked Family Day — B.C.’s first annual February statutory holiday — with numerous activities under sunny skies. And now, Spring is just around the corner.

WestJet has began to reveal the locations it will service through its new regional service Encore, but Cranbrook has not yet been named as a destination. On Monday, February 11, WestJet announced that it will begin daily service to Fort St. John and Nanaimo on June 24, 2013. While Cranbrook was not included in the first announcement,
it still could be in coming months. “We are just getting started,” said Ferio Pugliese, president of WestJet Encore. “The communities that are not part of today’s announcement continue to be under consideration as we take delivery of additional aircraft later this year and in years to come.”

RCMP are warning East Kootenay residents to beware of a new scam that could arrive in the mail. A Fernie resident reported to police last week that she received an unsolicited letter from a company in Ontario that contained a $4,000 cheque, a note saying she had been selected for a position with their company based on the resume submitted. Along with the cheque, the letter contained instructions to perform two money transfers to specified recipients, and the remaining funds would be kept by the letter recipient as payment for completing the task. “This scam works when the resident cashes the cheque and transfers the funds, then once the cheque is discovered to be fraudulent, the resident is responsible for repayment to the bank for the full amount,” said Cst. Adam Clark at Elk Valley RCMP. “This is a relatively new scam but has been reported all over Canada.” In the Fernie case, the woman who received the letter was suspicious, so she alerted her bank and the RCMP without cashing the cheque. “The Elk Valley RCMP is reminding residents that if an offer seems too good to be true, there is a good chance the offer may not be legitimate. Be mindful of unsolicited mail and phone calls and contact your local police if you suspect a fraud,” said Cst. Clark. The RCMP is asking anyone who receives similar unsolicited offers to contact Phonebusters at 1-888495-8501 or www. phonebusters.com. CLASSIFIEDS HELP YOU SELL

WestJet names new regional locations Continued from page 1 Last June, Tristen Chernove, managing director of Canadian Rockies International Airport, travelled to Calgary to pitch Cranbrook as a destination for WestJet Encore. He was among representatives from more than 30 Canadian cities conveying their interest. “This is really good news for western Canada,” said Chernove of Monday’s announcement. “They are starting their expansion in the west, which means for the next nine to 12 months there will be continued growth of the WestJet Encore network through western Canada. “Of course it would be better news to be in the first two destinations announced, but this is a marathon for WestJet and they have been very clear that this is the way they have to approach it. All communities can’t be served at the same time and it’s going to be an exciting year.” Chernove said he continues to communicate with WestJet on behalf of Cranbrook. “I am very optimistic still. We are in a great position and we have WestJet’s interest. We
are on a great trajectory with WestJet and we are going to continue down our path of keeping our communications going with them.” Fort St. John will be connected to Calgary and Vancouver daily with fares starting at $109 before taxes. The service between Nanaimo and Calgary will be daily with fares starting at $79 plus taxes. Those rates are historic, especially for Fort St. John, said Chernove. “I think WestJet has entered the market very competitively, and in fact those are prices the likes of which Fort St. John has never seen, so I think it is very monumental for that community.” However, he added, the airlines that service Cranbrook’s airport are already offering rates that would compete with WestJet’s offer. “Our fares are already there, if not better,” said Chernove. “Pacific Coastal and Air Canada have put us in a great position to show some positive growth,” said Chernove. Pacific Coastal’s starting fare for service from Cranbrook to Vancouver is $74 each way plus taxes, while Air
Canada’s fares start at $145 each way plus taxes. What’s more, Chernove said, the more passengers use Canadian Rockies International
Airport, the better the destination looks to WestJet. “What they watch most closely of all is the business case and what’s happening with
the passenger trend,” said Chernove. “It’s important for people to know the fares are that low, and by utilizing it, it’s just going to make our
numbers look more appealing to WestJet.” WestJet Encore will take delivery of its first two Canadian-built, 78seat Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft in
June and add five more by the end of the year. WestJet has firm orders for a total of 20 Q400s and options for an additional 25 over the next six years.

Drug mule sentenced to eight years prison Calgary man caught with nine kilograms of cocaine at Kingsgate, sentenced in Cranbrook Supreme Court
S a l ly M acD o n a l d Townsman Staff
A Calgary man has been sentenced to eight years’ prison for importing cocaine to Canada at the Kingsgate border crossing. Douglas Ernesto Pocasangre was sentenced by Justice Thomas Melnick in Cranbrook Supreme Court on January 17, 2013. The sentencing followed a trial in Cranbrook from November 20 to 26 last year. In making his decision, Justice Melnick explained the circumstances of Po-
casangre’s crimes. He was arrested at Kingsgate on March 6, 2010 after border officials discovered a backpack containing nine kilograms of cocaine hidden in a specialized trailer Mr. Pocasangre was bringing over the border. The cocaine had a wholesale value of $305,000, and a street value of $720,000. “In other words, a very substantial amount,” Justice Melnick said. In a report on the sen-
tencing released last week, Justice Melnick explained that Pocasangre, 48, was born in El Salvador and immigrated to Canada as a political refugee when he was a young man. Pocasangre is married with a 22-year-old son, who lives with his parents at their home in Calgary. Justice Melnick described the aggravating factors in the case as follows: “1. The considerable quantity of cocaine, a hard drug capable of resulting in something like 90,000 indi-
vidual retail sales to end users with the resultant grief that would inflict on thousands of people. “2. Mr. Pocasangre used his position as a driver for a company that had special U.S. security clearance, taking advantage of the efforts and the reputation of his employer. “3. From the record of cellphone messages, this was clearly a planned and deliberate act, not a decision taken on the spur of the moment. Mr. Ewan (defence counsel) submitted
that this was not an aggravating factor, but I am satisfied that it is. “4. Mr. Pocasangre clearly was motivated by profit. There can be no other explanation. He has had a good job and a good income. His truck was paid for. He had a new business venture in El Salvador. “5. I am satisfied from the evidence that Mr. Pocasangre was aware of the risk he took, but took it anyway.” The Crown sought a sentence of nine to 10 years,
while defence counsel suggested a two- to three-year sentence. Justice Melnick decided upon an eight-year sentence for importing cocaine, and a three-year sentence for possessing the cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, with both sentences to be served at the same time. Pocasangre was required to provide a DNA sample and is prohibited from possessing firearms, weapons, ammunition and explosives for 10 years.

Premier Christy Clark greets B.C. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon as she arrives at the B.C. legislature Tuesday to read the throne speech.
Premier launches ‘Prosperity Fund’ Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark kicked off the pre-election legislature session Tuesday with a pledge to establish a new fund from natural gas exports to support social programs and pay down debt. The main purpose of the “British Columbia Prosperity Fund” will be to pay down debt, starting in 2017 when the first liquefied natural gas facilities begins to ship LNG for export from the northern coast to Asian markets. It will be funded by a tax on LNG exports, as well as gas producers’ corporate taxes and traditional natural gas royalty revenues. The new fund is patterned after Alberta’s Heritage Fund, set up in 1976 as a legacy for Alberta’s oil and gas revenues. The B.C. fund would receive an estimated $100 billion from LNG revenues over 30 years, based on an assumption of five LNG production facilities exporting gas from the Kitimat-Prince Rupert region. The plan was presented in the throne speech delivered Tuesday by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon, to open a four-week legislature session leading up to the May 14 provincial election. The key task for the B.C. Liberal government in that session is to pass legislation returning the provincial sales tax to B.C. effective April 1, and the speech hinted at relieving that tax as one use for the new fund.
“Whether it is eliminating the provincial sales tax, or making long-term investments in areas like education or vital infrastructure that strengthen communities – these are the kinds of opportunities the B.C. Prosperity Fund can provide,” the speech says. NDP leader Adrian Dix said the government’s focus on LNG development is at odds with its heavily advertised jobs plan, with little mention of forestry, mining, tourism, film and TV production or high technology. The government estimates that if B.C.’s LNG mega-project develops as expected, and all of the fund’s revenues are directed to debt reduction, B.C.’s $56 billion debt could be paid off within a decade.

munity Gaming Grant from the B.C. Government, which was recently presented to Executive Director Gord Johnston by Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. “The Boys and Girls Club of Cranbrook does excellent work in our community. This committed group and its passionate volunteers really deserve this funding,” Bennett said. Community Gaming Grants allow non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming
revenues. In 2011/12, the Province distributed a total of $135 million in gaming grants for eligible community programs and services, to more than 5,300 community groups. The latest round of grants saw 117 recipients — including the Cranbrook Boys and Girls Club — sharing $4,813,400. Recipients in this round of grants include programs for Human and Social Services.
“It is always a struggle to finance quality after-school programming,” Johnston said. “The Community Gaming Grant makes a huge difference by supporting these programs for Cranbrook kids “MLA Bill Bennett and his staff team have provided the opportunity to discuss the merits of after-school programming and followed through with their endorsement and support for The Cranbrook Boys and Girls Club.”

NON COMPASS MENTIS
I thought it was the law S
ome years ago, whilst I was staying with some old friends in London, England, one of their sons took me to Hampton Court where there is a famous maze. “We’ll just go in, walk to the centre then stroll out again,” said the lad with all the assurance of youth. Well, it did not quite turn out that way. In fact, after several hours of near panic, bumping into the same lost souls over and over again, and a great deal of bad language, mainly on my part, we were rescued by a rather confused keeper. It was just like that when, a few weeks ago, I took my old friend Paul into the maze they call the Cranbrook Community Forest — i.e. the Alkalies. “We’ll just amble in, have a pleasant lunch on the top of something, then stroll out again,” I assured Paul. “Couple of hours tops.” We started off in the college parking lot and I immediately got lost. It was one of the bright, warm days we’ve been having and I was steering by the sun. I headed north towards what, to me, is a long, narrow slough but gets various other fanciful names. We’d walk round one end or the other, or even amble across the ice, I reckoned, then we’d follow one of the paths to the top. Bob’s your uncle.
Lunch with a view. After two hours or so we ran into a couple who didn’t appear to be lost but the directions they gave us were a tad vague. They did, however, have with them a large, pleasant dog. I seem to be constantly being shouted at by those tiny pooches whose volume of yapping is inversely proportional to their size and Peter relative importance in the world, but that Warland canine Golden Retriever was pleased to see us; maybe he was panicking too. During our hapless wanderings that day we could not help but notice that almost every human that we met was being guided by a dog or two. In fact, I began to think that there might be some sort of law about it; the authorities, whoever they may be, must have made it a condition for people to get permission to enter. This would probably be because 1) humans need to be looked after in the wilderness 2) the dogs need the exercise 3) the land needs to re-fertilized; the alkaline soil being short of canine excrement, known as Non Compost Mentis. When I challenged some folk as to why they were blatantly breaking the law and not having guardian dogs with them at all times, I received some interesting stares
and a few witty answers. One fellow lied through his teeth and claimed that he had, in one capacious pocket, a miniature poodle, while a young lady sweetly stated that she was actually wearing ‘hush puppies’, and she got away with it. At policing, I’m a soft touch. Paul and I wandered for hours, it seems, and eventually opened up some territory that even the famous David Thompson never saw in his wandering, plodded through knee-deep snow, discovered a newly-built city block then finally stumbled upon the big alkali called Four Lakes for some mysterious reason; we were about halfway along the south side of the recognizable one and so trotted across the ice and started up towards the summit. Paul led; we didn’t have to rope up or use ice-axes, but it was an interesting variation. Then, at last, we were there, Thule ultima. It was about two hours past my lunch time. The way back to the college and our vehicle should have been easy to find but I managed to make a mess of things. Again, we asked for guidance, were given myriad confusing answers and then, with the college in sight, had to stop and ask a young man for advice on which trail to follow. Very kindly, later in the evening as I lay recovering from the ordeal, he phoned me to ascertain that Paul and I had made it safely to our homes.

Tom Buchy, Dave Stephenson, Dave Toffolo and Darren Will made it into the provincial playoffs finishing fourth overall at a tournament in Parksville over the weekend. The team thanks the following sponsors for all their support: Stephen Rota Management Inc., Coal Valley Motor Products, Assante Wealth Management, Avenue, B & B glass, ABC Country Restaurant, Coors Light, Marysville Petrocan, David Bellm & Company Insurance, Sun Life Financial – Frank Vanden Broek, Prestige Hotels and Resorts, The Kimberley Curling Club and The Sparwood Curling Club.
Buchy team finishes fourth at provincials TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
In a tough field, the curling team skipped by Tom Buchy squeaked into the playoff portion of provincials, but fell in the quarterfinal to the eventual winner of the whole event. The foursome of Buchy, Dave Toffolo, Dave Stephenson and Darren Will, played eight games with five wins and two losses before the playoffs, began, but Buchy’s team ran into Andrew Bilesky in the quarter final and lost 8-3. Bilesky ended up winning the whole tournament, going through Sean Geall in the semifinal and Brent Pierce in the final to earn the B.C. berth into the Tim Hortons Brier. “The guys played really well,” said Buchy. “Of course, we ran into Bilesky, who was hot, and they played very well the last game and we got down early and couldn’t get it back.” Deane Hornig’s team, the
other four representing the Kootenay region out of Castlegar, finished with three wins and three losses. Team Buchy opened their provincial run last Wednesday with a 8-2 loss to Team Montgomery out of Victoria, but responded with an emphatic 10-4 win over Brent Yamanda. “We managed to get a feel for the ice and the rocks in that second game real quick, and we just didn’t have that in the first game,” said Buchy. “I certainly didn’t.” Buchy followed that up with a 9-4 win over Trevor Perepolkin and an 8-6 loss to Neil Dangerfield on Thursday. “We had a really good game against Dangerfield, he ended up beating us,” Buchy. “He made a good shot to beat us in the last end, we were laying two in the four-foot and he made a nice double and stuck.” “Then we had to win three in a row on Friday and we
managed to do that.” The team started with a 9-4 win over Richard Brower in the morning, and followed up with a 9-5 win over Jim Cotter—the two-time defending champion. A third win in a 7-6 rematch against Perepolkin put the Buchy team into one of the qualifying position for the page playoffs, which set them up against Bilesky. “They were down to Cotter—in their second game— they were down 5-1 after four ends and they came back and won 8-5 and that kind of got them rolling. They stole three in the last end,” said Buchy. “They got on a roll and they played very well throughout the whole week.” Buchy said the way his team recovered from their initial loss to Montgomery was good to get the team rolling, especially since the four hadn’t curled together since regional play
downs. “Winning three in a row on Friday was good, because losing any one of those games and we’re out,” Buchy said. “We ended up playing Jim Cotter in the afternoon game in kind of a do or die situation for both of us and we won that one and it was nice to pull that one off.” Even though the team lost in the playoffs, everyone was happy with making it in, because anything can happen, especially in tight field of teams, Buchy added. Finishing fourth in the province is pretty respectable, but everyone will take some time to see what the future holds, as Will resides in Fernie and Stephenson calls Kelowna home. “All of us will have to sit and talk and see where everyone’s at with work and commitments and stuff like that,” said Buchy, “so we’ll figure that out over the next month or so and go from there.”
Columbus Blue Jackets fire GM Scott Howson RUST Y MILLER Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio One playoff appearance in more than five seasons wasn’t good enough for Scott Howson to keep his job as Columbus Blue Jackets general manager. Howson was fired Tuesday night by John
Davidson, the club’s director of hockey operations. Since his hiring last summer, Davidson, who rebuilt the St. Louis Blues, has become the man with the most power in the front office. Davidson said before the season that the recent NHL lockout bought him time to evaluate the
direction of the franchise. The Blue Jackets got off to a 4-7-2 start, and despite the team playing its best game of the season on Monday, Howson was let go less than 24 hours later. “Scott Howson is a caring man who gave everything he had to the Columbus Blue Jackets
over the past six years,” Davidson said in a statement. “This was a difficult decision but one that I thought was in the best interest of moving our hockey club forward. I have enjoyed working with Scott and want to thank him for his service.” The announcement
came one day after the Blue Jackets beat the San Jose Sharks 6-2. Fourteen players had at least a point as Columbus scored as many goals Monday as the team had in its previous three games combined. And the Blue Jackets did it against the stingiest defence in the league.

IOC votes to drop wrestling from 2020 Olympics Bill Beacon Canadian Press
Wrestling Canada president Don Ryan thought it was a joke when he woke up Tuesday to frantic messages about his sport being dropped from the Olympic Games. He soon found out the fear was all too real. The International Olympic Committee’s executive board voted in Lausanne, Switzerland, to drop wrestling, one of the world’s oldest sports, from the 2020 Games to make room for another sport. “It came as a complete surprise,” Ryan said on a conference call. “We had great meetings at the London Games, sold out arenas. “We had no indication. That’s why I thought someone was telling a joke.” Freestyle wrestling has been one of Canada’s strong Summer Games events since Daniel Igali of Surrey, B.C., won gold in Sydney, Australia, in 2000.
Since women’s wrestling was included at Athens in 2004, Carol Huynh of Hazelton, B.C. and Tonya Verbeek of Grimsby, Ont., have combined for five medals, including Huynh’s gold in Beijing in 2008. “Can’t believe IOC is cutting wrestling! Huge blow to our sport all over the world,” Huynh wrote on Twitter. Wrestlers will compete at the 2016 Games in Rio De Janeiro, but losing Olympic status in 2020 would be a major blow to an event that has been contested since the first modern Games in 1896. It had been thought that modern pentathlon or taekwondo would get the axe, but the IOC executive instead made the surprise choice to remove wrestling from its list of 25 “core” sports. The 15-member executive reviews all sports after each Olympics to see which should be kept on. Ryan cautioned that

KOOTENAY has won 16 of their last 21 games and have points in 17 of 22 games since Christmas (16-5-10 record)...The ICE have won their last ten home games (December 31 – February 9 - team record is 12 consecutive wins at home set during the 2006-2007 season)...

the executive’s decision is only a recommendation. He said the sport’s governing body, the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles, known by its French acronym FILA, would lobby to keep it from being ratified at an IOC meeting in Buenos Aires in September. There is also a meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia, in May where the IOC executive will hear presentations from seven sports that hope to be included as “additional” events in 2020. Wrestling intends to make its own presentation. “FILA will take all necessary measures to convince the IOC executive board and IOC members of the aberration of such decision against one of the founding sports of the ancient and modern Olympic Games,” the federation said in a statement. “FILA has always

“FILA will take all necessary measures to convince the IOC executive board and IOC members of the aberration of such decision against one of the founding sports of the ancient and modern Olympic Games.” FILA statement sibility for athletes to represent their country at the Olympic Games, thus contributing to their universality.” Wrestling’s governing body is to meet this weekend in Phuket, Thailand, to plot strategy on how to keep
freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling on the Olympic program. “Now we have to roll up our sleeves and fight,” said Ryan. “I’m trying to get a hold of FILA president Raphael Martinetti. He didn’t know it was coming either. We’re trying to come up with a lobbying plan.” Justine Bouchard of Wetaskiwin, Alta., a two-time world bronze medallist (2009, 2012) in women’s 63-kilo class, was shocked by the news. “Wrestling is one of the oldest sports,” the 27-year-old said. “I just feel like any time I ever heard the word Olympics, wrestling always came to mind. I wasn’t expecting this at all.” Bouchard is gunning for the 2016 Games, but realizes the effect the decision will have on younger wrestlers. “Absolutely that would be just devastating and a shock, especially if you’re already

she said. “Maybe if this was your first year and you didn’t know any different, it might not be as big of a deal. Obviously the Olympic Games is like the Stanley Cup playoffs. It’s the biggest deal.” Leigh Vierling, coach of Canada’s national women’s team, was also stunned. “It came as a surprise. First thing in the morning I picked up my cell phone and had a whole bunch of text messages saying ‘What’s going on?’ from all my friends. “The hardest thing for me is the young athletes that were emailing me and texting me and saying ‘What does this mean?”’ Vierling says the decision doesn’t make sense from a sporting perspective. “There’s 180 countries that have national wrestling federations around the world. It’s hugely participated in. It’s a sport for the masses. It’s not a very

expensive sport to participate in,” he said. “It’s hugely popular around the world. I would like to see the rationalization for how this decision was really made. “We’ve been one of the strongest sports. We had two medals this Olympics, two medals last Olympics, we’ve been in an Olympic gold-medal match the last six Olympics in a row. I don’t think there are many sports that can say that.” Other sports vying for spots in the 2020 Games are baseball/ softball, karate, squash, wushu (Kung Fu), roller sports, sport climbing and wakeboarding. Baseball was dropped after the 2008 Games and is a long shot to be reinstated. Once dropped, it’s unlikely wrestling would be brought back right away.

ARIES (March 20-April 19) Put your best foot forward, even in an unpredictable situation. You tend to help others feel a lot more relaxed and at ease. Claim your power, and do what you want. Someone who pushes you hard will respect you more as a result. Tonight: Do your own thing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Read between the lines rather than immediately react. In fact, the less said, the better. You might have difficulty getting past a problem or a bad mood. Just let time do its thing. Someone at a distance could be exceptionally difficult. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Look at what is going on in a meeting. Note the different roles others play. These roles are interesting in that they reflect each person’s issues. You might be so detached that others could feel uncomfortable with you. Recognize your limits. Tonight: Only
where the crowds are. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Take a stand and know what you want to do. Somehow others easily misunderstand you. You could feel as if someone is bullying you. Walk away. You might take a strong stand in a key matter. Realize that you might be the one creating a problem. Tonight: Take the lead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take the lead in a situation before someone can interfere. The unexpected occurs, and it floors you and many others. A meeting points your attention in the right direction. Pressure comes from your schedule and its demands. Tonight: Go to a favorite spot that has music. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with someone you care about directly. The interaction might surprise you at first, and then could delight you later. You need that type of dynamic in a bond in order to stay interested. Understand your need for change. Tonight: Play “follow the leader.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For Better or Worse
Defer to others, and avoid an argument. A power play might get the best of you if you get involved in it. The smart move is to steer clear and do what is necessary. Do not respond. If you continue to say nothing, the game might end. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might try to bypass a problem when the unexpected occurs. Recognize that you can do only so much. Do not attempt a power play or any other type of manipulation. You know what is acceptable. Tonight: Opt for a foot rub or a massage, should someone offer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 21) Your playfulness emerges when speaking to friends and loved ones. You express your love of the good life by living in the moment. Pressure builds around your finances. Someone might have an expectation you can’t seem to meet. Tonight: Celebrate the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Get back to the basics, and understand what is happening with
a family member. You really don’t need to ask questions. Just trust in this person’s ability to work through these issues. You have a little too much energy for your own good. Go for a jog. Tonight: At home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll speak your mind. Others will either brainstorm with you or decide to counter your thoughts. Perhaps they even might choose to ignore you. Make a call to a relative you no longer can avoid. Have a gossip session if you want to keep the peace. Tonight: Paint the town red. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could have a different opinion from a friend about a money matter. This situation could blow up in your face or evolve into a major power play. Decide which way to go, or consider a different option. Your mind can be unusually resourceful. Tonight: Keep it low-key.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My brother, “Jay,” and his wife have an adopted daughter, “Anna,” who is now 3 years old. We adore her. Jay and I recently got into an argument. He said they were angry that we didn’t call Anna on her birthday. I was surprised by this, as we had already wished her a happy birthday in person, with a gift and a card at her party a few days prior to her actual birthday. When Jay and I were kids, we were always happy to receive a card and a gift from our aunts and uncles. We never expected them to call, as well. In addition, Jay said that they were angry that my husband and I didn’t take time off of work to be at the courthouse to celebrate the “official” adoption six months after Anna was born. We told him at the time that we couldn’t take time off of work and would celebrate with them at their home, which we did. At that time, Jay said it was fine, but now, it apparently wasn’t good enough. When my husband and I adopted our oldest child, we never demanded that anyone take the day off of work to be at the courthouse, nor to be at the hospital when our younger kids were born. Annie, we celebrated Anna’s adoption multiple times -- right after her birth, at her baptism, when we gave them a baby shower and then at their home after the courthouse. I reminded Jay of these things and told him we love Anna and don’t like his implication that we don’t care. My brother used to be easygoing until he married his wife. Now they expect a parade every time Anna opens her eyes. Are Jay’s expectations reasonable? Should we call Anna on her birthday even when we’ve already celebrated with her? They act as if the world revolves around them. -- Can’t Keep Up Dear Can’t: Attending Anna’s birthday party and giving her a gift was sufficient. It’s also lovely to call on the actual birthday, but it is not an obligation. The rest of Jay’s complaints are irrational and self-centered. We don’t recommend arguing with him. He won’t see things your way. Placate and ignore. Dear Annie: Our daughter is getting married in July. We decided to give her a lump sum for the wedding, and she created a budget to handle all aspects of the event. Unfortunately, she selected a wedding gown based on the price, and it does not flatter her figure. My wife and I would like to offer to purchase a more attractive gown, but we don’t know how to approach the subject. Any suggestions? -- North Carolina Dear North Carolina: Are you certain that your daughter selected this design solely because of the price? Your financial assistance might only serve to purchase an equally unflattering gown in a more expensive fabric. Keep in mind that alterations can work wonders, and Mom could enlist the help of the seamstress to ascertain whether your daughter is unhappy with her gown. If so, it’s perfectly fine to say you want her to have something closer to the dress of her dreams. Otherwise, please repeat the old saying that “all brides are beautiful.” Dear Annie: This is for “Tired in Nebraska,” whose husband has sleep apnea and refuses to wear a CPAP. I’m an orthodontist who has successfully fit many patients with a dental sleep appliance that is very comfortable to wear. Sleep centers do not always mention their availability, but it should not be difficult to find an orthodontist or general dentist who will fit her husband. These appliances are covered by insurance with a prescription from a physician and are the next best treatment to CPAP devices, which many people cannot tolerate. -- Sympathetic Orthodontist Dear Sympathetic: Many readers recommended a dental appliance that can help with apnea and is easier to wear. Thanks to all who suggested it. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Ghost is a kook
Dear Wendy: I was wondering if you could tell me if I have more than one ghost in my house. I have had several disturbing things happening again. It started two years ago and I was worried about it so much that my husband and I felt we should perhaps sell the house. Eventually the disturbances stopped and we thought the whole affair was over with. About two months ago my husband decided it was time to renovate and that is when the disturbing events started to happen again. There are ASK WENDY things being moved in the laundry room, we Wendy Evano hear footsteps coming up the stairs and we hear someone going out the back door. When we check; the door is locked. This is so nerve wracking and any help you can offer would be appreciated. Feeling Spooky

Dear Feeling Spooky: Don’t be spooked — the one ghost is a “kook.” This entity or ghost is about 45 years old and he is the one you are hearing going out the back door. He is checking around the house to make sure everything is in order, so to speak. He does not like anyone coming into your back yard and if he sees anyone including animals wandering around or in the alley; you will hear him shuffling around and going out the back door. He’s quite a big fellow so he is not unfortunately quite as gentle with coming in and out the back door. If you could tell him to stop banging the door when he goes in and out because it scares you he will stop. He is not a bad fellow at all and does not know he is causing you any emotional discomfort. The second entity you have in your house is a female child around 8 to 10 years old. She’s the one you hear running up and down the stairs to the rumpus room as well as to the bedrooms upstairs. She is looking for her parents tell her to go home or heaven. Say something like this, “Honey you are dead and you need to go home to your mom and dad. Don’t be afraid, just go into the light and mommy and daddy will be waiting for you.” The third entity you have in your home is another young man in his early 30’s. We feel he stays mostly in the den. When you hear noises coming from the den it is him working and socializing with some of his friends. You will only hear him make noise when you put anything relating to female attire or objects in this room. He does not like it at all and will make a fuss. He is a bit eccentric and get’s kind of cranky when there is a lot of noise or people in the house. None of these entities will harm you or anyone in your home. I thank you for the pictures you sent to me and I think your home is enchanting. You have done a lot of renovations in your home and they are beautiful. The problem is the renovations cause these entities in your home to “act up.” Realize they did not come when the house was built or being built they have lived on the land long before the house was built. The only entity we feel that this may not be the case is the female child. We feel she moved into the house when it was built. Just have a little talk with them and tell them you are sorry to disturb them and give them a time when you think your husband will be finished with the renovations. If the noises from these entities do not stop and they are still disturbing you then phone me. I may need to come in and do a psychic cleaning or communication with these entities if you wish. Wendy

Spain seeks to protect bullfighting as cultural heritage Ciar an Giles Associated Press
MADRID, Spain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Spain took a key first step Tuesday toward enshrining bullfighting as a key part of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural heritage, a move that could roll back a ban on the on the blood-soaked pageants in the northeastern region of Catalonia. Lawmakers in Parliament accepted a petition from bullfight supporters asking for the special status in a 180-40 vote that included 107 abstentions. A parliamentary cultural commission will now begin work on proposed legislation over the coming months with expectations that it will go to a
vote this year. In theory, a new law giving bullfights the protection would take precedence over regional government laws and could be used to overturn the Catalonia ban that went into effect last year. The petition, promoted by the Federation of Bullfighting Entities of Catalonia following the ban, received 590,000 signatures of support â&#x20AC;&#x201D; included among them those of now Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and Nobel winning author Mario Vargas Llosa. Popular initiatives need 500,000 signatures to be considered by Parliament. Bullfighting is no longer as popular in Spain as it was in the
past mainly because of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crushing economic crisis and changing tastes. Some 2,000 fights are still held yearly although crowd attendances have fallen drastically. In practice, the Catalonian ban had little impact because bullfighting had declined drastically in popularity. Even though Catalonia banned bullfights in rings, regional lawmakers passed separate legislation protecting â&#x20AC;&#x153;correbous,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; small town fiestas in which flaming balls of wax or fireworks are attached to the horns of bulls. Released in town squares or rings, the frightened bulls charge, taunted and teased by
boisterous crowds. But the bullfight ban irked Spaniards, with many seeing it more as an intentional affront by Catalonian nationalists opposed to Spain as a country rather than a move to protect animals. Catalonia, whose capital is Barcelona, prides itself on its distinct identity. Its national government has recently begun moves toward staging a pro-independence referendum, something which Spain says is unconstitutional and will be opposed. Prior to Catalonia, bullfighting was outlawed in 1991 in the Canary Islands region, but the fights were never popular there.
