Local Filipinos anxious for relatives after deadly typhoon
Relief efforts getting off the ground in Cranbrook, Kimberley B A R RY CO U LT E R A N D C A R O LYN G R A N T
The Philippines is reeling after a devastating typhoon caused immense havoc on the country’s eastern shore last week. And local Filipino-Canadians are anxious and worried for family members, as communications are only just starting to come back on stream. Cranbrook resident Lourdes Roxas-Butalid, who is President of the Filipino-Canadian Association of the East Kootenay, said her hometown of Bogo was wiped out in the typhoon. Bogo is on the island province of Cebu. The northern part of Cebu, Roxas-Butalid said,
sustained damage equivalent to the scenes from neighbouring Leyte and the city of Tacloban, whose images have dominated international news coverage of the disaster. “I only just talked to my mother Monday morning,” RoxasButalid said. “There was no communication for days. “It was so depressing to see. I was just there recently. I couldn’t sleep, worrying about friends, classmates, my family … I’ve read on Facebook how some of my friends are now homeless. One of my friend’s homes is just a skeleton. Another has had the roof torn off.”

Unemployment rate stays low The Kootenay region has the fewest unemployed people in B.C., with an October rate of 3.7 per cent
S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff
The Kootenays’ unemployment rate remains at the lowest in the province. On Nov. 8, BC Stats released labour force statistics for October, which showed that only 3.7 per cent of the Kootenay labour force is unemployed. In B.C. as a whole, the unemployment rate was 6.5 per cent in October.
The Kootenays are well ahead of the rest of the province in employment. The next closest region is the Northeast at 4.9 per cent, followed by the Cariboo at 5.4 per cent, the North Coast at 5.5 per cent, Vancouver Island at 6 per cent, and the Lower Mainland at 6.8 per cent. Our closest neighbours in the Thompson-Okanagan have the highest unemployment
rate at 7.2 per cent. Across B.C., there are 2,465,900 people in the labour force, which represents 63.7 per cent of B.C.’s population aged older than 14. Last month, there were more part-time positions available in B.C. (up by 5,600 jobs), but fewer fulltime positions (down by 11,000 jobs). Most of the full-time positions were lost
in those aged 25 to 54 (12,900). Jobs in the public sector rose by 13,000 in October, but private sector positions dropped by 13,800. B.C.’s unemployment rate falls behind Saskatchewan (3.6 per cent), Alberta (4.4 per cent) and Manitoba (5.5 per cent). Across B.C., positions were gained in the following industries: health care
and social assistance (10,300 jobs), educational services (7,500), accommodation and food services (7,200), information, culture and recreation (7,000), construction (1,300), utilities (800), and manufacturing (200). However, there were job losses in finance, insurance, real estate and leasing (8,600 jobs), professional, scientific and technical ser-
vices (7,100), and trade (4,400). Interestingly, industries that offer the most positions in the East Kootenay lost positions, too. Forestry, fishing, mining, quarrying, oil and gas lost 3,800 jobs, and agriculture lost 1,200 jobs. The Kootenays’ unemployment rate for October is only slightly higher than it was in September, when it dipped to a low 3 per cent.

have family members still in the Philippines, an archipelago nation of more than 7,000 islands. In Cranbrook and Kimberley, some relief initiatives are getting off the ground. Roxas-Butalid said Bob Cartier of the local A&W is gearing up for a fundraising drive to help local FilipinoCanadians’ relatives and family members still in the Philippines, who’ve been affected by Typhoon Haiyan. Details are still
emerging — watch the Townsman/Bulletin for further details. Roxas-Butalid said local Filipino-Canadians can contact her to also get involved in the initiative. They can call her at 250-581-0126. The most important thing people can do is donate money to help not just the rebuilding effort, but to ensure that people can survive right now, says Graham Mann, East Kootenay Ambassador for ShelterBox.

government has announced that it will match every donation made to Philippine recovery. So if you donate one dollar, the government will donate the same. There are many charitable organizations offering help. The Canadian Red Cross, for example, has begun fundraising, as has UNICEF and many others. Mann says the ShelterBox is exactly what is needed in the Philippines right now. A ShelterBox is a tent with everything ten people need to survive, from water purification equipment to bedding and utensils. One ShelterBox costs $1,200 and Rotary’s ShelterBox team is already on the ground in the Philippines. “We have ShelterBoxes stockpiled around the world, but there are never enough,”
Mann said. “ShelterBox has had a team in the Philippines since midOctober in response to a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit Bohol on October 15. They are now assessing the need associated with the typhoon.” Mann says ShelterBoxes stockpiled in Australia are on their way, but more will be needed and the appeal is going out to raise funds. In Kimberley donations can be made at Kootenay Savings Credit Union (cheques should be made payable to Kimberley Rotary Club) or at Grubstake Pizza. Donations can also be made online directly to ShelterBox Canada at www. shelterboxcanada.org. Donations of $20 or more will receive a tax receipt.

Wilks speaks out on safe injection sites Kootenay-Columbia MP engages in debate on Tory government’s Respect For Communities Act
Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks registered his opposition to safe injection sites during a debate in the House of Commons last week. Last week, the House was discussing second reading of a bill proposed by the Conservative government called the Respect For Communities Act. If passed, the act will amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to give government greater control over when and where safe injection sites are approved. “The Respect For Communities Act came about as a result of communities across Canada enquiring about safe injection sites,” MP Wilks told the Townsman on Tuesday. The Insite supervised injection site in Vancouver has been operating for a decade, as a safe place where people inject drugs and connect to health care services – from primary care to treat disease and infection, to addiction counselling and treatment, to housing and community supports. “Insite has been operating in Vancouver for just over 10 years, and other communities have been enquiring,” said MP Wilks. “But there is no regulation or policy with regard to how that would be from the perspective of public consultation and all of the other aspects that come with it. This act was brought forward to deal with those questions.” In the House of Commons on November 4, Wilks spoke up in favour of the Respect For Communities Act, and against supervised injection sites. “Canadian families expect and deserve safe and healthy communities in which to live and work. That is why our government has consistently delivered the tools needed for all parties to
contribute to keeping our streets and communities safe,” he began. “All controlled substances have the potential to be abused. That is why they are called controlled substances. However, the risks are increased when those substances are unregulated and untested and are bought on the street, as illegal drugs often are. “For this reason, our
David Wilks government is recommending amendments to the act, through the bill currently before the House, that would strengthen the legislation and better protect Canadian families and communities.” The Respect For Communities Act came about after a 2011 Supreme Court decision that found safe injection sites legal when approved, and identified criteria that should be considered in approving sites, such as local conditions that indicate a need for the site, community support or opposition, and its impact on crime rates. “These drugs are inherently dangerous. They are illegal for a reason. We know that the proceeds from the sale of these substances contribute to organized crime and make our streets and communities less safe,” Wilks said in the House. “It is easy to lose sight of what we are talking about. I can tell members, from personal experience in my former career as a police officer, that heroin is, without a doubt, one of the most addictive drugs known. It is physically and psychologically addictive. It
is one of the worst, if not the worst, drugs to come off of. Think about the worst days and times anyone in this place has had, and multiply it by 100. People addicted to this drug will do anything for their next fix, including, but not limited to, shoplifting, robbery, break and enter, assault, and many other Criminal Code offences. “I urge all members of this House to stand and support the Respect For Communities Act and help give Canadian families safe and healthy communities in which to raise their children.” In response, NDP MP Libby Davies for Vancouver East asked Wilks if he would support a supervised injection facility in his community. “I personally would not support any safe injection site anywhere in Canada,” he responded. Speaking to the Townsman on Tuesday, Wilks went over the debate and why he has taken this position. “My issue with safe injection sites is that most of these people have underlying issues that need to be dealt with and we need to find ways of having more recovery houses and those types of opportunities for these people,” he said. “We shouldn’t be promoting or condoning the use of an illegal drug that in my opinion is one of the worst drugs known. It’s a nasty drug; there’s no other way of putting it.” The focus should instead be on treatment for addictions, he went on. “We need treatment facilities, we need recovery centres, we need more mental health facilities. That’s the larger issue of that type of scenario,” said Wilks. The Respect For Communities Act is at second reading now. If passed, it will go to a committee, then returned for third reading. If passed, it will go to the Senate for approval.

Sam Steele Days gets funding
Cranbrook’s annual festival has received a boost from the feds
Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
Sam Steele Days is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2014, and the annual celebration in Cranbrook will get a boost with $4,300 from the federal government. Kootenay Columbia MP David Wilks announced the funding on Tuesday, November 12. “The annual Sam Steele Days festival has become one of the region’s most highly anticipated events,” said Wilks. “Celebrations like this are not only a source of civic pride, but they also stimulate the economy and provide support for local tourism.” The grant was made available to the Sam Steele Society through the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage program of the Department of Canadian Heritage. Next year’s 50th
anniversary of Sam Steele Days will be held from June 19 to 22. About 20,000 people are expected to attend the Cranbrook-wide celebration. “The dedicated volunteers and organizers of the Sam Steele Society of Cranbrook are pleased to receive support from the Department of Canadian Heritage,” said Laura Kennedy, treasurer of the Sam Steele Society. “The Sam Steele Days festival has contributed greatly to our community by providing expo-

sure to local artists and artisans, fun family activities, competitive sporting events, increased economic vitality, as well as rewarding opportunities through the ambassador program.” The event is named after Superintendent Sam Steele of the North West Mounted Police, who was brought to Fort Steele in the late 1800s to stub out crime in the Gold Rush community near Cranbrook. His name itself resonates and the history he brought to the valley is
something we should never forget. “Sam Steele resonates throughout Canada as one of the great Canadians,” said Wilks. “The history he brought to the valley is something we should never forget.” He commended organizers of Sam Steele Days for growing the festival over half a century. “Fifty years is a huge achievement and all of the volunteers and organizers should be very proud of that,” said Wilks.

UBCM looking at 911 call answer levy Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff
The Union of B.C. Municipalities is calling for the introduction of a province-wide call answer levy for 911 to deal with the increasing prevalence of cell phones. At the moment, the emergency call service extracts a levy from landline telephones. The proposed levy would capture landlines and electronic devices such as cell phones and also VOIP services like Skype to support 911 services. The UBCM secretariat sent a letter to municipalities across the province, and Cranbrook council looked over the release on Nov. 4. Council was supportive of the report.
“There have been a number of resolutions that have come to the UBCM suggesting the province introduce legislation that would allow the implementation of a province-wide levy on wireless services to help pay for the delivery of 911,” Mayor Wayne Stetski explained. The UBCM committee was looking for comments back by Nov. 29. “If you have a landline, you currently pay towards this service. If you have a cellphone, you don’t.” The service is also trying to cope with dropped calls. On a landline if the call is dropped, then the service can call the number back, but on a cellphone, that currently isn’t possible.
The City of Cranbrook is tied into the regional district’s 911 services, so any recommendations from council would be directed at the regional district. Diana J. Scott asked if fire chief Wayne Price could provide comment in the next administrative report on the topic from a local perspective. Unfortunately Chief Price is away for the next few weeks so that wouldn’t be possible. In the report, the steering committee put together by the UBCM recognizes that there are service gaps and technology changes in 911 services. “These changes will require new revenue sources to meet public demand,” it reads. These

CALL FOR KIMBERLEY PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD MEMBERS In accordance with the Library Act, the City of Kimberley is inviting applications for memberships on the Kimberley Public Library Board. Membership will be for a two year term, commencing January, 2014. To be eligible, you must be a resident or elector of the City of Kimberley. Members of the Kimberley City Council, employees of the City of Kimberley and employees of the existing Library Board are not eligible. Interested person are invited to submit written applications on or before November 30, 2013 to: Chief Corporate Administration Officer City of Kimberley 340 Spokane Street Kimberley, BC VlA 2E8
revenue sources include using video, pictures, texting and other more recent wireless abilities. Presently, wireless users don’t directly contribute to the provisions of 911 services in B.C. the way landline users do. City staff noted that the process of creating such a levy would take time. “But we will be providing input then to this,” Stetski said. The steering committee is made up of local and provincial government representatives to look at the issues of implementing the call answer levy. Council received the information as correspondence.
Correction: The article in the Friday, Nov. 8 issue entitled “City unveils concepts for 2nd Avenue, Moir gravel pit” contained several errors. The redesign actually pertains to 2nd Street South. The cross streets were actually 7th Avenue and 11th Avenue. We apologize for the confusion this may have caused.

ed as Chip saying, we only want thin women in our store. Only skinny women are eligible to wear our clothes. We only make sizes above an eight for appearances; if you don’t fit into a size eight or smaller, don’t even bother. Earlier in the year, Lululemon had to recall a whole bunch of pants because the fabric was too see-through. Chip’s response then was that women must be wearing them too tight. When you put the two comments together, it sort of seems like our man Chip created these pants without any intention of selling them to curvy women. The fact that curvy women still wanted to buy them seems to have got his nose out of joint. He’d rather we, what, wore a kimono and stayed out of sight? Also, it’s quite frankly a cop-out. If he wants to sell his pants for these high prices, then they better be decent quality. Not seethrough. Not pilling every time two thighs touch. For one reason or another, part of me hopes that this signals the decline of yoga pants as a fashion fad. I preferred my Hypercolor t-shirt.

CRANBROOK ARCHERY CLUB
Local archers take aim against the best in the world TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
A trio of Cranbrook archers recently took on the best international talent available at the World Archery Youth Championships in China in late October. Adam Pitney, Darby Dean and Brittany Johnson all represented Canada in Wuxi, just west of Shanghai, drawing into respectable finishes against some of the top shooters in the world. All three competed both as individuals in their respective categories, and also in mixed team competition. A total of 14 shooters in different age classes from compound to recurve represented Canada at the competition, which were all housed up in a hotel near the track stadium that hosted the event. Pitney was eliminated in the 1/16th round in the junior men compound category, while Dean placed ninth in women’s cadet compound and Johnson placed eighth in junior women’s compound. All three archers had competed in nationals over in Newfoundland in the summer, and aren’t strangers to facing down high-level competition. “I didn’t find it a whole lot different, but you could sort of feel it inside,” said Pitney. “If I hadn’t gone to nationals, it would’ve been way more nerve wracking than it was.” Dean agreed, noting that the encouraging team atmosphere helped. “It was definitely intimidating and stressful, but having that team atmosphere definitely helped a lot, because it kept things a little calmer, knowing that there was a team supporting me,” Dean said. Each shooter went into qualification rounds, which seeded them accordingly against other opponents for elimination rounds. Pitney said he didn’t shoot too well in qualifications, but stepped up his game in the elimination. “I stayed more positive than I would have at any other competitions where bad things happen,”

Adam Pitney, Darby Dean and Brittany Johnson represented Cranbrook and Canada at the World Youth Archery Championship in China in October. said Pitney. He went up against Leonardo Pardini of Italy, beating him by a single point of 139-138 in the 1/24th round. The Canadian shooter then faced Mario Cardoso of Mexico in a battle that was so close, it ended at a tie of 144-144. It went to a one arrow shoot off after that, and Cardoso was able to take the win. “I lost in the one arrow shootoff,” said Pitney, “but I was really happy with my score, because it was the best I’ve ever shot in an elimination round, so I felt really good about myself.” Dean ended up in ninth place in the women’s compound cadet category, making it into the 1/8th round and losing out to the eventual gold-medal winner. Dean rode a bye into the 1/16th
round, facing Ekaterina Makeeva of Russia, winning a close battle at 141-135. After that, Dean was matched up against another Russian in Alexandra Savenkova in the 1/8th round, who took the match at 146-141 and went on to win the gold medal. Despite the loss, Dean said her Russian opponent was very talented shooter. “I’d rather lose against someone who’s going to do super good than someone who’s not going to do that great,” she said. “…I shot not my best. The wind threw me off guard a lot and I felt that—I don’t want to say not trying hard enough—but I felt I shot as good as I could have with the pressure and whatnot.” For Johnson, her results were better than she could’ve hoped for,
finishing in eighth place and—like Dean—lost out to the eventual gold medal winner in the 1/4th round. After qualifications, Johnson earned a bye into the 1/16th round, and faced Yahaira Corona of Mexico, winning by a score of 141-138. She then headed into the 1/8th round to face another Mexican named Stephanie Salinas. Johnson shot a very close match with Salinas, and beat her by a single point at 139-138, which put her into the quarter final against Sara Lopez of Columbia. “I was the only one from Canada that made it past that round,” said Johnson, “and then I found out I had to shoot against the number one ranked in the competition, and everyone knew who the girl was, so it was quite intimidating.” Lopez ended up shooting a 146,
while Johnson ended a dozen points behind at 134. “I kind of let my nerves get to me on that one and I ended up shooting pretty bad for myself,” said Johnson. “She ended up beating me by quite a bit.” Lopez went on to two more matches afterwards, defeating an American and a German to take the gold medal. After the individual competitions, all three also participated in mixed team competitions. While every competitor was trying to do their best, it was still a friendly atmosphere and all three Cranbrook shooters were able to meet fellow archers from around the world. “I guess I could say that I learned that everyone is there competing for the same thing,” said Dean, “and you can tell—it doesn’t seem like we’re competing because everyone is so friendly and we’re talking with each other and we do the pin trading. “We’re all there for the same thing.” By watching other shooters, they were able to pick up on some different techniques as well. “You get to see the stuff that everyone else uses, and how they shoot,” said Pitney. “…For an archer, you can kind of pick out the little things here and there that each archer does. Like some of them will lean back just a little bit, or they’d anchor in a different spot. Just littler things.” Johnson said she did a lot of practicing in twilight and foggy conditions at home to prepare herself for the possibility of shooting in a challenging environment. She has also been working with a local sports psychologist over her last few competitions to help her with the mental side of the sport. “So every time I went to a competition, I’d learn something new about myself that I needed help with,” Johnson said. “Then I’d go to him and he’d give me tools to fix that, so all the tools that I got to practice in the other competitions, I got to bring into this one.”
Kootenay’s special teams on fire as they face Swift Current TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Heading into Swift Current, the Kootenay Ice are facing one of the WHL’s hottest teams on Wednesday night when they clash with the Broncos. Whether on the road or at home, Swift Current is riding an eightgame win streak, which has helped propel them in to second place in the Eastern Conference.
The Broncos have done it with the help of rookie import Finnish defenceman Julius Honka, who has eight goals and 27 points. Also adding some more European flavour to the roster is goaltender Eetu Laurikainen, who has proven to be a tough puzzle to solve. The team also features NHL draft picks in F Coda Gordon (Calgary Flames, 6th round,
2012) F Graham Black (New Jersey, 5th round, 2012) and D Dillon Heatherington (Columbus, 2nd round, 2013). Though the Broncos are hot, there’s an aspect of Kootenay’s game that’s on fire right now, which is their powerplay. Ranked fourth in the WHL, Kootenay drew blood twice against the Chiefs on Saturday, and twice against the Hit-
men on Monday—skating away to wins in both contests. According to Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill, the team hasn’t tweaked their special teams too much, but he noted that players seem to be making smarter decisions with the puck. “Really, it hasn’t changed too much,” said McGill after Monday’s win over the Hit-
men. “I just think that we move the puck around and we’ve been real patient at making the right opportunity on the net. “You can have some powerplays where all you do is blast away and look for rebounds, and tonight, I thought we had real patience with the puck to find the right play.” Jaedon Descheneau is one of the beneficia-
ries of Kootenay’s hot powerplay, scoring 9 of his 16 goals with the man-advantage. Descheneau is the runner up and trailing by one to Mike Aviani, who leads the WHL in powerplay goals. Kootenay generally sends out four forwards and a defenceman on the first-unit powerplay, with Luke Philp on the blue line to launch bombs on goal.
On the other end of the special teams battle, the Ice are in sixth place overall in penalty killing, second behind the Edmonton Oil Kings in the Eastern Conference. On the topic of playing with a man down, Kootenay is also the second-least penalized team in the league—up by only five minutes on the Everett Silvertips, which have avoided the sin bin the most.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a lot of oomph as you start your day. How you use it will be your call. Some of you might decide to tell someone off, while others simply will use the energy to become whirlwinds of effectiveness. Tonight: All smiles! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Know when to pull back and head in a new direction. You could feel off-kilter as you wake up. Ask yourself what you need to change in order to feel better. Communication is your strong suit. Initiate any necessary discussions. Tonight: Use your imagination as you vanish. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out to someone who is very important to your life. You could take this person’s nonresponsiveness personally. The issue is more likely to be one that is unrelated. There might be a lot going on behind the scenes. Tonight: Join a pal for a midweek break. CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Assume your natural role as leader. Communication could have a harsh quality to it. Refuse to take someone’s attitude personally, but you also might want to establish boundaries. Claiming your power could be more important to you in the long run than you realize. Tonight: In the limelight. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take the high road and you will do just fine. Conflicts could mark the beginning of the day, yet chummy interactions will mark the end of the day. You’ll make the difference because of your attitude, personality and understanding. Trust your instincts. Tonight: Live it up! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with a problem directly, which might involve dealing with an individual directly. Know the difference between assertiveness and aggressiveness. Veer toward the former. Tonight: Make it a cozy duo, even if it is just you hanging out with your best friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others seem to keep coming
Tundra
to you with requests. The problem lies in that so many ask so much of you. Before you know it, you could become angry. Say “no” more often. Only you can balance your demands. Tonight: Accept an offer that might have you out on the town. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pace yourself, and know when enough is enough. Yes, you have a lot of energy, a strong will and much endurance. In a sense, you are unstoppable when you decide to accomplish a goal or do something important for you. You refuse to see obstacles. Tonight: Be lazy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your fiery ways push aside any obstacle you might come across. Be diplomatic with a higher-up or parent. In the long run, you will be happier. A partner points to a new path where creativity and happiness seem to merge. Tonight: Let go and enjoy the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could decide to maintain a low profile as you sense an issue coming in from out of left
field. You don’t always have to handle every problem. Focus on an issue involving home and/or real estate. Opportunities come through a partner. Tonight: Happy to be home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A partner might be difficult at best. Back off, and duck out of the way of this person’s fireworks. Answer calls and get into some errands and/or other responsibilities. Knowing when to back off is an invaluable skill. Tonight: Have a chat over munchies. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might feel the need to indulge a loved one who lets you know that he or she is not up to snuff. That effort will ease this person’s mood, but do not break your budget. You are resourceful; consider different ideas that keep your costs on an even keel. Tonight: Make nice.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married for more than 20 years and have never been sexually attracted to my husband. He is a good provider, but there is no passion, no excitement, nothing. I have tried everything I can think of to make sex better, but he acts as if it’s part of my wifely duties, which makes me sick. I don’t want to break up our home, but I’m in love with a passionate man who just rocks my world. He kisses me, and I forget my name. Our affair has lasted four years. Why can’t I keep them both? -- Torn in Tulsa Dear Torn: It seems you’ve been doing exactly that for four years, but obviously, it’s not enough. Please stop living a dual life and figure out what you want. If there are young children, you owe it to them to work on your marriage. Get into joint counseling so your husband can work on his Neanderthal attitude toward women and so you can see whether passion can be ignited. If you believe sex is the most important aspect of a marriage, divorce your husband so you can be with Rocks Your World. But having it both ways isn’t working, and you’ll feel better when you deal with this more honestly. Dear Annie: I was sexually abused by an uncle when I was 12. I am now 35 and expect to see him at an upcoming family reunion. After all these years, I finally wrote him a letter. He will never read it. When he dies, I want to place it in his casket. I hope you will let me share my thoughts: Dear Uncle: I have a few things that I’ve waited a long time to tell you. Now that you are dead, I am finally happy. I am happy you are burning in hell. God has given me justice. While others are mourning your death, I am celebrating. I will never forgive you for what you did. You stole my childhood from the moment you laid hands on me when I was a 12-year-old child. Your own niece. When I was a child, I used to think you were a great uncle. I trusted you, respected you, looked up to you, loved you the way a niece should. And when you betrayed me, I was shattered, and I never looked at you the same way. I have waited a long time for your death so that I could go to your funeral and watch you being lowered into your grave. You are a total disgrace. You are nothing to me. God never should have created you. You had no purpose in life other than to hurt children. You are pathetic. Now that you are dead, I can finally be at peace knowing that you will never again hurt a child. -- Still Suffering Dear Still: Thank you for composing a letter that obviously came from a very wounded place. Please don’t wait until your uncle is dead to warn your other relatives and report him to the authorities. Your courage to speak up could protect other children who come into contact with this predator. And for you and anyone else who has suffered through abuse, please contact RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656-HOPE for support, encouragement and help. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Humiliated Wife,” who said her husband seems to be overly interested in a classmate from his 50th high school reunion. You said her husband is in his “late 70s.” Your math is seriously off. My 50th high school reunion is this year, and I’m 67. There’s no way he would be older unless he was held back a few years. -- I Can Add Dear Add: You are right that we could use a remedial math class. But the advice stands. If the man suddenly ogles every woman and can’t keep his hands off the waitresses, he needs to see his doctor.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting. You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.
3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back. A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.
4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.

Is there someone new on the horizon? Dear Wendy: I was wondering if you could tell me if I will meet anyone new this year or in the new year? I started a new job and I seem to like it a lot. I was also wondering if I would be going back to school again to attain my Masters in Education? I have a good life but I seem to be lacking a good partner to share it with. Do your guides see if I will be getting married and having children anytime soon? Feeling Lonely Dear Feeling Lonely: I asked my guides if you would get married and have children in this lifetime. The answer was a definite yes. We feel you will be going back to school and attaining your Masters in Education in 2017.
I asked my guides if you will meet a man for a permanent, long term, loving relationship. The answer is yes, in the latter part of 2014, more towards the winter. However, if you wish you may email us and we will do a “spec” on him for you to make certain this is the man we are “picking up” on. Wendy Hi Wendy: I was wondering if you could tell me if my son will graduate this year? Do you see him going to live with his father this year? Do you think he will ever stop being verbally abusive to his sister and me? I don’t know what to do with him anymore; he seems to be getting worse. Do your guides have any words of advice for me about what I
should do about him? Do you see him taking or being on drugs? Desperate Mother Dear Desperate Mother: Well, my love, you certainly have your work cut out for you with this child. We did a “spec” on him and this is what we have discovered: I asked my guides if he was taking drugs and the answer is a most definite yes. He is also consuming alcohol but the drugs seem to be what he is mostly taking. We do not see him graduating in 2014. We do not see his father wanting to take him to live with him on a permanent basis. We feel that your ex-husband was a verbal abuser as well. We do not feel he

ed front and take some affirmative action with his behaviour and his drug and alcohol problems. You need to let go of the petty difficulties that you and your husband have for each other and totally concentrate on ask your son’s wendy welfare. This Wendy means he Evano has a tendency to lie to you and his dad and he has a tendency to manipulate both of you. His line of defence is to divide and conquer, so to speak, when he wants something from either of you. This means if he doesn’t get money or whatever from you when he wants it, he just phones up Daddy and gives him a story and then Daddy usually ends up by giving him what he wants. The sad thing is he knows Daddy does this
just to shut him up so he will go away and leave him alone. You as well give in to him on occasion because you just don’t know what to do with him and his verbally abusive mouth. He bullies you to the point of submission to what he wants. This needs to stop on both your parts and start acting like adults and start setting boundaries with yourselves and him. This means a proper curfew, get him into some sport, take him to the doctor for an examination, and get him into some program that you and your husband need to participate in with him. He has been let go far too long to run his own life. It’s not going to be easy but it certainly is worth a try, my guide is saying. In conclusion, I feel raising children is one of the hardest jobs. You never know how they

would become physically abusive with you or his sister. However, it is imperative that he gets help for his drug and alcohol problems. If he does not want to do this then you are going to have to make some decisions and design a plan of what to do about his behaviour. I think it’s imperative that you phone his father and both of you sit down and talk to your son and tell him what you have discovered about his problems. If he denies taking drugs or alcohol then tell him you want a doctor’s report to verify what he is saying is true. The reason why you need to do this is because you have let him get away with too many of his lies. It’s time that you and your husband stand together in a unit-

are going to turn out or what they are going to be or do. Personally, if they can act in society with some modicum of respectability and earn a comfortable living for themselves and cope with their emotional issues without getting involved with the law and not be a burden to society, then you have done a good job as a parent. However, there are no guarantees how they are going to treat you as a parent. That comes from their own soul and has nothing to do with how you reared them. So take a deep breath, Mom, get a plan, phone your ex and tell him you want to put your differences aside with him and that you need help to try to get this child you both had the help he needs. You may just be surprised at your ex–husband’s attitude if you decide to do this. This is not about you and him, this is about your son. Wendy
Thief hits Calgary eateries C ANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — Three high-end Calgary restaurants have been hit by a dine-and-dash artist who racks up a big tab and then escapes before paying the bill. Last week, Muse in Kensington was the target of the high-living thief, who ordered expensive cocktails, a $70 bottle of wine, an appetizer and an entree. He left his wallet on the table and said he was going to the washroom, then slipped out the door. When staff examined the wallet they found bits of magazine clippings inside and that’s when they knew they’d been had. A security camera captured the man’s image and the story and photo went viral on Twitter with the hashtag “musecrimefighters’’ over the weekend. Two other restaurants, Teatro and Blink, believe the same man pulled a similar dine and dash scam on them.
