Kimberley’s business com-munity put on their semi-formal attire last Saturday evening to attend the annual Business Ex-cellence Awards, sponsored by the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce.

The awards celebrate the im-

portant role that small business plays in Kimberley, and the peo-ple who put in the hours to make them a success.

There were two multiple win-ners, Pedal and Tap and Denai Bell for Ginjer Jar/Velvet and Ginjer.

Many other deserving recipi-ents were honoured as well, such as the Kimberley Arts

Council being given the nod for Community Booster — appro-priate since it was the Arts Council that conceived and were the primary drivers of First Saturdays, this past summer.

The evening’s keynote speak-er was Dr. Tom Ristimaki and music was provided by Don Gla-serud.

Epic canoe trip ends in Canal Flats

Sea to the Source travels length of Columbia River

C AROLYN GR [email protected]

With the deadline to re-negotiate the Columbia River Treaty fast ap-proaching, a group of en-vironmental advocates from Washington are fin-ishing up a 2,000 km pad-dle from the source of the mighty Columbia River in Astoria, Washington to the headwaters at Canal Flats north of Kimberley.

The canoe, carrying four people arrived at Canal Flats on Monday af-ternoon.

Adam Wicks-Arshack of the Sea to Source expe-dition spoke by cell phone to the Bulletin as they pad-dled the last stretch across Columbia Lake Monday morning.

The whole idea behind the expedition is to bring awareness to the salmon who used to populate the river right to its source. The group has spoken and paddled with students and environmentalists along the way.

“Last year we had a dugout canoe building contest to help educate students about the salmon in the river,” said Wicks-Ar-shack. “We made five ca-noes for the five types of salmon. With this trip we wanted to pay tribute to the salmon by starting the

journey at the source where they do.”

However, because of power dams along the river, salmon no longer make the same journey. The Sea to Source expe-dition advocates having fish ladders built at dams such as the Chief Joseph and Grand Coulee so the fish can get further up the river. Ideally, every dam would be modified to allow salmon to get past.

“We were able to get past dams that the salm-on can’t,” Wicks-Arshack said. “With the renegotia-tion of the Columbia River Treaty, this is a per-fect time to talk about it."

Wicks-Arshack says the Canadian portion of

the journey has been truly enjoyable.

“It’s such a pleasure on the Canadian parts of the river. It’s raw — huge mountains, glaciers and rapids. We paddled through the Columbia wetlands. They are just incredible, so biologically diverse. We saw more beavers and elk and wolves than on the whole rest of the trip combined. Right now we are sailing up the Columbia Lake. The sun is out. It’s just beautiful.”

Wicks-Arshack says that while the trip ended Monday, efforts to bring awareness to the treaty, the river and the salmon will not end.

has transformed the north wall at the Koote-nay Child Development Centre from a blank canvas to a whimsical landscape of the four

Kootenay seasons. The mural depicts a

transition from spring to winter with familiar scenes of several Cran-brook landmarks. Stee-ples Range, Fisher Peak and Mount Baker are all

captured in the winter season scene, a bab-bling mountain brook flows through the spring, and a large, ma-jestic tree stretches its branches over summer and autumn.

The mural is a spe-cial treat for Kids Con-nections Preschool. The preschool holds the mural in its outside play space – an addition sure to activate the imagina-tion of the children who fill the yard.

Recent layoffs, incidents in Quebec and

Alberta spark concern

SALLY MACDONALDTownsman Staff

Concerned with rail safety in the community, Cranbrook city council held a special meeting with Canadian Pacific on Wednesday, October 23.

Council asked Cana-dian Pacific (CP) to meet with them after hearing in August that the rail company had laid off four train car safety in-spectors in Cranbrook, a month after the Lac-Me-gantic railway tragedy.

Mayor Wayne Stetski thanked CP for its long-standing history in Cranbrook.

“I want to start by rec-ognizing that CP Rail has been an important part of Cranbrook for 115 years now. You are an important part of our economy and certainly your employees are an important part of our community,” he said.

But the news that more than half of CP’s railway carmen in Cran-brook had been laid off raised concerns, he went on.

“The concern from the community, given what happened in Que-bec, was how does that leave Cranbrook in a safe position?” Stetski asked.

“It’s still in a safe posi-tion, there is no question about it,” responded Rick Poznikoff, CP’s senior manager of community relations and aboriginal affairs.

“Staff reductions are predicated on levels of traffic and numbers of traffic.

“The number one priority is safety. We are not compromising safety here. But in this case, these cars will be in-spected either in Gold-en, Lethbridge and Cranbrook, and Trail.”

The mayor asked for clarification: does that mean that rail traffic has decreased through Cranbrook?

“No decrease,” Poznikoff said. “But

Cranbrook Council talks rail safety with CP

some of them go straight through to another desti-nation. They are not switched here.”

Far fewer trains are broken apart and made up again in Cranbrook than used to be, he ex-plained. Less frequent switching of rail cars means fewer inspec-tions.

Councillor Gerry Warner asked how the Lac-Megantic tragedy happened given all of the rail industry’s safety pre-cautions, including manual hand brakes on each rail car.

“We would like to know what happened too,” said Poznikoff. “We are very curious. We are just as concerned. Un-fortunately, we have to wait until the Transpor-tation Safety Board does an investigation and comes out with a report.”

Poznikoff did a lot to alleviate council’s con-

cerns about rail safety in Cranbrook.

He pointed out that 99.998 percent of rail in-dustry shipments con-sidered hazardous com-modities reach their des-tination without a train accident. Rail hazardous commodity accident rates are down 91 per-cent since 1980 and 38 percent since 2000.

Poznikoff went over CP’s procedures for checking rail lines and

rail cars throughout its network.

About once a year in the area, a Rail Flaw De-tector Car inspects the main track at regular in-tervals and uses an ultra-sonic and induction sys-tem to detect internal flaws in rail.

Rail grinding is done between one and four times a year to restore the profile of rail and ex-tends track life by remov-ing irregularities.

CP assured Council that safety was a primary con-cern.

IMPORTANT NOTICECanadian Paci� c Railway will be replacing the railway crossing in Cranbrook at 3rd Street NW starting on Monday October 28 ending on Friday November 1, 2013.

The crossing will be open to regular traf� c on Monday October 28 and Tuesday October 29, but will be closed to all traf� c on Wednesday October 30 and Thursday October 31.

Motorists wishing to access the Industrial Park during the closure should use either the King Street North or the 6th Street North railway crossings.

The City of Cranbrook and the CPR apologize for any inconvenience this project may cause.

“That prize should have been given to me,” joked Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad shortly after the

Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemi-cal Weapons (OPCW) was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on 11 October. The guests gathered in his palace in Damascus presumably laughed, out of courtesy to their host, but they all knew that giving up Syria’s chemical weapons hadn’t been As-sad’s idea at all.

Al-Akhbar, the Beirut newspaper that reported Assad’s remarks, has close links with Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia militia that is supported by Syria and Iran, and it accepted As-sad’s regret about the new turn of events at face value. “There is no doubt that the loss of chemical weapons has resulted in a loss of morale and a polit-ical loss for Syria,” Assad said.

“Since 2003, Syria has demanded that the countries in the region dismantle their weapons of mass destruction, and the chemical weapons were meant to be a bar-gaining chip in Syria’s hands in exchange for Israel dismantling its nuclear arsenal,” the Syrian president continued. “Today the price (of the bargaining chip) has changed, and we have agreed to give up our chemi-cal weapons to remove the threat of the US attacking us.”

He’s really doing it, too. Sixty out of a planned hundred OPCW inspectors are already in Syria, and they have made no complaints about a lack of cooperation by Damascus. By the end of this month they will have completed their initial verifica-tion visits and confirmed that Syria’s ac-count of its chemical weapons and facili-ties is accurate and conceals nothing.

They will also have disabled the coun-try’s ability to produce and mix poison gases and load them into actual weapons

by then. The work is “cheap, quick and low-tech,” in the words of OPCW spokes-man Michael Luhan. The inspectors are just smashing the control panels on the machines that produce and mix the gases, and destroying the munitions that would actually deliver the end product with sledgehammers, grinders and bulldozers.

Significantly, the inspectors have so far found no bombs, shells or missiles that are

actually filled with poison gas, which suggests that Syria’s chemical weapons were in a very low state of readiness. It also greatly eases the next phase of the OPCW’s task, the destruc-tion of the actual chemi-cals, since it is a tricky and

dangerous business to extract the liquefied poison gas from a projectile that also con-tains the explosives to disperse it when it lands.

Syria has an estimated 1,000 metric tonnes of toxic chemicals: around 300 tonnes of sulfur mustard, a blistering agent, and about 700 tonnes of the nerve agents sarin and VX. But if none of it is “weaponised” (loaded into projectiles), and much of the nerve agent is in “pre-cursor” form, as separate, less toxic com-ponents, then OPCW’s goal of finishing the job by mid-2014 seems feasible. Even if it has to be done in the midst of a civil war.

It’s quite clear that Assad did not plan all this. His forces (or somebody else’s) used poison gas in Damascus, though the attack was pointless in military terms. President Barack Obama was trapped by his previous loose talk about an American “red line” into threatening to bomb Syria. And the Russians got Obama off the hook (and saved Assad from a severe pounding) by “persuading” the Syrian leader to re-nounce his chemical weapons.

But what has Assad really lost? “The chemical weapons, which have lost their deterrent value over the past few years, were meant to be used only after Israel used its nuclear weapons,” he says, but it was never a very credible deterrent. Israel’s unstoppable nuclear weapons could anni-hilate Syria, whereas the very effective Is-raeli civil defence organisation would have made mass casualties unlikely even in a worst-case Syrian gas attack.

In any case, Syria’s chemical weapons have indeed now lost whatever deterrent value they ever had, for Israel has acquired good anti-missile defences that would shoot down most incoming Syrian mis-siles. Syria actually stopped producing new chemical weapons in 1997, Assad said, because they had lost their military usefulness.

After that, they were only a low-value “bargaining chip” to be put on the table in the improbable event of region-wide nego-tiations on eliminating all weapons of mass destruction. (Poison gas is not re-motely comparable to nuclear weapons in its destructiveness, but it is technically “WMD”.) But Assad is a very lucky man. He discovered belatedly that his bargaining chip could be traded for something else: immunity from American attack.

So everybody wins. Obama escapes from the new Middle Eastern war that he dreaded. Moscow gets huge diplomatic credit for coming up with the formula that averted that war, and saves its Syrian client as well. Assad regains a measure of re-spectability by nobly relinquishing his use-less chemical weapons. And the OPCW gets the Nobel Peace Prize.

The only losers are the Syrian people on both sides of a dreadful civil war, which looks set to drag on indefinitely.

Letters to the editoranimal Farms

With the days getting shorter and cool-er, Canadians and Kimberleyites have been treated to some exciting times.

No, it isn’t the start of hockey, Hallow-een approaching or the ski season!

We have been treated to the best soap opera ever produced coming out of our parliament in Ottawa and city hall in Kim-berley. George Orwell was decades ahead in 1945 with his new novel which he aptly named and describes the situations in Ot-tawa and Kimberley — “Animal Farm(s)!”

We will meet at the MBSS main entrance at 5:30 p.m., in costume, bags in hand, and ready to make a difference!

Thank you for helping us feed the less fortunate in Cranbrook.

CrapshootI would like to commend Mr. Warland

for amusing me since, well, the last time I was interested.

I must, of course, brace myself now. I

actually laughed at his column about the fellow who complained about the crap he wrote. I must assume that fellow was Scot-tish because, as we all know, “if it ain’t Scottish, it’s crap.” So I must also assume that Peter is either English or Welsh.

I cannot remember. I have been told that all the Scottish — er, dislike ( I cannot use the other word for fear the authorities will be knocking on my door for commit-ting a word crime) those other nationali-ties. I don’t believe it though. I think it’s just a myth like, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” Or that the History, Arts and Entertainment, and the Learning Channel actually have programs that have to do with those subjects.

I mean come on — “Duck Dynasty”? “Pawn Stars”? “Say Yes to the Dress”? It’s crap! But I digress.

So I re-iterate to Mr. Warland, thanks for the amusement and for proving that not all crap is crap.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2013

With the B.C. and federal govern-ments once again struggling to climb out of deep operating defi-

cits, it’s a good time for the release of Mark Milke’s book “Tax Me, I’m Canadian.”

An update of the same title published 12 years ago, the book retains the history of taxes in Canada, detailing how Canada’s tax system was initially built to mimic the United States system in the late 19th century.

Beyond the history, it is mostly new material. Included are chap-ters on the global meltdown of 2009, the surge of pension liabilities as the baby boomers retire and the flawed logic be-hind the “Occupy” and “Idle No More” protests.

Some readers will immediately note that Milke works for the Fraser Institute and was previously B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. But the book is not just an argument for cutting taxes. It also dismantles persistent myths that income taxes are illegal, and launches a broadside on what Milke calls “Canada’s corporate welfare carnival.”

Many people will be able to identify some top names in the government subsi-dy game: Bombardier, General Motors, even poor old Rolls Royce Canada. Some will also be well aware that our supposed-ly tight-fisted Conservative federal gov-

ernment has continued to pour out “re-gional development” and other funds to every part of the country.

But I did not know that Industry Cana-da grants were handed out to pizza par-

lours (including the remote pizza-starved village of Kam-loops), or to help open gas stations or convenience stores in Kelowna, Vernon and Chil-liwack.

Milke makes a useful point for B.C. about royalty rates for timber, natural gas and other resources. They are resource

rents, and if they are too high the tenants will move out. Reducing them isn’t a sub-sidy, especially if it leads to big revenue gains as B.C.’s unconventional shale gas incentives have done.

On the Occupy movement: The infa-mous “one per cent,” who in Canada earn $250,000 a year or more, earned 10 per cent of all income and paid 20 per cent of all taxes in 2010. The bottom 73 per cent of tax filers paid just 17 per cent of all taxes. About a third paid no tax at all.

On Idle No More: When Attawapiskat Chief Teresa Spence played to the Ottawa media with her soup strike, former Liberal leader Bob Rae suggested a nearby dia-mond mine should share more revenue.

Milke omits the substantial support and employment that mine provides, and glosses over the misguided blockades that disrupted that and other job-creating en-

terprises. But he does detail the disastrous effects of passive resource wealth be-stowed on impoverished aboriginal com-munities, and contrasts it with the success stories of reserves that build their own enterprises through hard work.

On public sector pensions: Milke notes that historically, public employees traded higher wages for better benefits and job security. Now their wages are generally higher, and taxpayers have to cover their personal pension contributions (as a por-tion of those wages) as well as the employ-er contributions, plus the “defined benefit” payout, which has to be subsidized far be-yond what the pension fund can support.

On the debt-financed welfare state, there are memorable observations, like this one: “For the record, the generous Quebec welfare state and its ostensibly more progressive model are paid for in part with the taxes of other Canadians; Quebec is merely the North American equivalent of Greece.”

The recent B.C. political crisis over adoption of the harmonized sales tax showed that there is too much emotion and too little knowledge about how taxes work. This book is a step towards address-ing that.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

Cranbrook has a pretty thriving minor box lacrosse scene, as the Outlaws organiza-tion has been growing and adding more play-ers over the last few years.

Now, the association is trying to grow the game in another area, and is in the early stages of setting up a field la-crosse program.

Field lacrosse is very much a different sport from it’s indoor coun-terpart, and the Cran-brook has been lucky enough to land a coach who has some extensive experience in the game.

Russ Sheppard, who is articling at the Rock-ies Law Corporation after receiving his law degree from the Univer-sity of Alberta this year, is working alongside minor lacrosse presi-dent Tammy Tait to get a field lacrosse program off the ground.

Sheppard has worked with some of the biggest names at the professional level in box and field, and decided to volunteer with the program after meeting with Tait.

“I’m a master learn-ing facilitator for box la-crosse and field so I train learning facilita-tors and coaches, so I told her I’d really like to get involved in lacrosse,” Sheppard said.

He was first intro-duced to the game over a dozen years ago from Al Luciuk at the Univer-sity of Saskatchewan, and has worked and coached with guys like Brodie Merrill and Chris Sanderson, both profes-

sional lacrosse players who have competed in the NLL and MLL.

“I’ve been lucky in la-crosse, both in box and in field, to be able to kind of work with some of the best,” Sheppard added.

With a box lacrosse program via the Outlaws that has done nothing but grow over the last few years, Sheppard hopes to attract box players into the field program.

“I believe that hybrid lacrosse players are the future of lacrosse, both box and field lacrosse,” said Sheppard, “so with-out a field program here and with so much op-portunity for field, I thought I could spear-head that with Tammy and fill in some gaps in the box season.”

Sheppard compares box lacrosse—in terms of X’s and O’s—to bas-ketball, which share similar philosophies on offence and defence in a tight, confined area, while field lacrosse is played on an open field and very positional in nature, like soccer.

“One of the things thats very interesting is in the United States, they play a very individ-ual game with field la-crosse, where it’s me versus you and I try to dodge around you,” noted Sheppard, “but the Canadian hybrid field lacrosse game is much more of a team game where we try to use our quick sticks in-side to get that one look for a quick shot, because we know we can get the ball in tight spaces and out, because of our box skills.”

Why set up a field la-crosse program when there’s already a box la-crosse in Cranbrook?

Because field la-crosse is where the scholarship money is.

Two Cranbrook la-crosse players in Dakota Hollister and Tanner Rennich have landed significant scholarships with American NCAA universities, despite the fact that there was no local field lacrosse pro-gram for them growing up.

The team is wrap-ping up their practice season as it gets closer to winter, and will have to wait until hockey is

over to get back into the arenas without the ice surfaces.

From there, the box and field programs will have find ways to coexist without taking anything away from each other, while also dealing with the draw to hockey once September hits.

“I think the challenge will coordinating with box in the spring and getting box on board and then promoting within box sector to try and get more out,” said Sheppard. “And then, trying to get more kids to come from box la-crosse to field and un-derstanding that there

are alternates.”Sheppard is just be-

ginning his law career following a 10-year stint as a teacher, where he taught in Edmonton and up north in Nun-avut.

He taught in Kugluk-tuk in the early 2000s, a small hamlet in the northwestern part of the territory. The commu-nity had an alarming suicide rate, and stu-dents at Kugluktuk High School also struggled with violence and drug and alcohol issues.

Instead of ignoring the problems, Sheppard and school staff got to-gether and created an

athletic program—the Kugluktuk Grizzlies—which included sports such as lacrosse, basket-ball and volleyball.

Over time, school at-tendance increased, while violent incidents and the suicide rate fell significantly. Sheppard attributed the results to the students embracing a different culture, cre-ated through team sports.

“The culture up there is very ingrained in cer-tain ways and I think it was very important for us to break down some of those barriers,” Shep-pard said.

“…The basic message

was work hard, put in what you can control, which is the effort, and doors will open. And that’s the culture that sports creates, because if you work hard and put in the effort in sports, it opens doors.

“It’s kind of a thing in life. It’s kind of a neat story in the way that it came out very Holly-wood-esque in some ways, but I think it’s just the way life is. Put in the effort and see what hap-pens.”

If anyone has any questions about the field or box lacrosse pro-grams, contact Tait via email at: [email protected]

Red Sox beat Cardinals 3-1, one win away from World Series title BEN WALKER

Associated Press

ST. LOUIS - Jon Lester pitched the Boston Red Sox within a whis-ker of yet another World Series championship.

Now, this bearded band goes back to Fenway Park just one win away.

“Pretty special time,” Lester said.

Lester bested Adam Wain-wright once again, journeyman David Ross hit a tiebreaking dou-ble in the seventh inning and the

Red Sox downed the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 Monday night to take a 3-2 Series edge.

David Ortiz delivered his latest big hit, too, putting Boston in po-sition to capture its third crown in a decade. Not since 1918 have the Red Sox clinched the title at their century-old bandbox.

“The fact is we’re going home,” manager John Farrell said. “Going back to a place that our guys love to play in, in front of our fans.”

“This atmosphere here, these three games, has been phenome-

nal. We know it’s going to be equal to that, if not better. And we’re excited about going home in the position we are,” he said.

Said Ortiz: “It’s going to get loud out there.”

John Lackey gets the first chance to win it Wednesday night against St. Louis rookie sensation Michael Wacha. A Cardinals vic-tory would set up a most spooky proposition for both teams - Game 7 on Halloween night.

“It will be legendary if we go into Boston and win two games,”

Wainwright said.Ortiz enjoyed even more suc-

cess in Game 5 after moving up from cleanup to the third slot. He is 11 for 15 (.733) in this Series with two homers, six RBIs and four walks.

Ortiz left in a double switch, shortly after legging out a hit in the eighth. He was OK, and he’d already done enough damage to the Cardinals.

“What planet’s that guy from?” Ross said.

Lester enhanced his reputa-

tion as an October ace with every pitch. He allowed one run and four hits in 7 2-3 innings, striking out seven without a walk. Nearly the same line he had in beating Wainwright in the opener.

“I think the biggest thing is me and Rossy have had a good rhythm,” Lester said. “Early on, we just went back to our game plan from Game 1 and just fell back on that and really just tried to make them swing the bats early, and we were able to do that.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will want to meld with others in order to accomplish a particular task. Sometimes this type of interpersonal coopera-tion can be difficult, as you are a very independent sign. You still manage to project a leadership profile, even when being docile. Tonight: Work off some tension. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Open up to a more dynamic approach to a situation in your life. You might like the idea of this change, but to manifest it will prove to be more difficult. Thinking is important, but you will get nowhere unless you act. You have little to lose. Tonight: So what if it is only Tuesday? GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have a desire not to be the town crier. You might be up for playing the role of recluse for a few days. Excuse yourself from commitments, and know where you are heading. Be smart, and refrain from speaking until you are sure of yourself. Tonight: All smiles.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Make the first move. You will get far more done than you thought was even possible, once you feel unburdened and free from a personal issue. A call could make all the difference in the outcome of your day. Tonight: Accept an invitation to join someone for munchies. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be aware of the problems around you, and be direct in how you approach a situation, espe-cially if it involves your finances. You can’t be too careful in how you approach this matter. Rec-ognize that someone could be angry. Work this through with him or her. Tonight: Your treat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Assess whether it is a good idea to proceed as you have been. Listen to someone’s opinion, but know that you might need some more time to reflect on the main issue. Postpone signing off on agreements, at least for today. Tonight: Act as if you do not have a care in your world. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your words make more of an

impression than you might realize. At the same time, with-holding your thoughts will have a similar effect. Others question themselves, especially when you become quiet. Use caution with any money arrangements. Tonight: Not to be found. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Meetings take high priority, whether you like it or not. They also might help you initiate a new or different plan of action. Recognize where someone else’s anger is coming from, even if he or she can’t. Say very little about your perceptions for now. Tonight: Where your friends are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You respond positively to pres-sure, especially if you feel as if you will be acknowledged for your efforts. An intense conflict exists within you between work and a domestic matter. You will need to channel your high en-ergy and use it more positively. Tonight: Happy at home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Allow greater give-and-take be-tween you and others. A friend could have difficulty opening

up. Know that his or her attitude could have little to do with you. Your willingness to adapt to var-ious situations points you to the winners’ circle. Tonight: Tap into your imagination. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Deal with a specific family member directly. You could feel pushed to your limit by a loved one whom you care a lot about. How you view situations could change radically as a result of an experience surrounding today’s events. Tonight: Chat and visit with a close friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be inspired by one other person to tackle a new goal or to move to a new level of accomplishment. You some-times get confused by this person, yet at other times his or her influence gives you more confidence. Tonight: Whatever you do, just don’t be alone. BORN TODAY Comedian Fanny Brice (1891), actor Richard Dreyfuss (1947), dramatist Jean Giraudoux (1882)

Dear Annie: I am a single 40-year-old man. The past 18 months have been rough for my family. My father passed away, and my mother moved to Florida. Then she had a mild stroke. I have always liked Florida, so I decided to move with Mom and help care for her. My two brothers still live in our old hometown with their families. Ever since our move here, my brothers have given me the cold shoulder. I heard through the grapevine that they believe I am controlling Mom’s money and taking advan-tage of her. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I have put my life on hold to make my mother’s life better. She forgets to take her medications and has lost interest in cook-ing. So I cook her meals, take her wherever she wants to go, make her doctors’ appoint-ments and see that she takes the required meds. I have told my brothers the truth of the sit-uation, and so has my mother, but nothing seems to change their minds. We have al-ways been a close family, and I don’t want that to change. Is there something I can do to fix this? -- Confused in Florida Dear Confused: Your brothers may be suspicious, but it is also likely there is some guilt mixed in, causing them to resent you and your importance to Mom. The best way to handle this is to include them as much as possible. Ask their opinion on Mom’s med-ical treatments and any major decisions. Make all financial dealings completely transparent. Send them regular updates and copies of her checkbook balance, her invest-ments, her cash outlay -- everything. Better yet, ask them to come to Florida to spend a week with Mom and see how she’s doing. Dear Annie: I have known my best friend for more than 20 years. For the past three, she has completely forgotten my birth-day. She usually remembers belatedly and phones, mortified that she overlooked it. She then writes a card and gives a gift. I don’t know what to say when the awkward phone call comes. My feelings are hurt that my birthday isn’t automatic for her because we’ve known each other for so long. I also know that she manages to remember the birthdays of other friends she hasn’t known as long and whose birthdays are around the same time as mine. What should I say when she tells me she “can’t believe” she has forgotten my birth-day once again? -- Perplexed in Pennsylva-nia Dear Perplexed: It’s possible that your friend is so confident that your birthday is something she’ll remember that she doesn’t bother to write it down and consequently forgets until it’s too late. Or she might re-member but not have a moment to call, and by the time things settle down, it’s slipped her mind. She may also be having memory issues that she is too embarrassed to men-tion. We don’t believe it is deliberate, be-cause it requires much more effort to call, apologize and then send a card and a gift. The next time she does this, make a joke of it. Suggest she invest in some belated birthday cards for next year. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Second Best in Michigan,” whose husband’s wid-owed mother controls everything, including picking her husband’s clothes and schedul-ing their holiday gatherings. My husband’s mother was widowed when we married 37 years ago. He was an only child. I can tell “Michigan” that she will always be second best. My husband and I went to counseling, but as you said, Annie, the key part is the willingness of the husband to change. In my marriage, change was nev-er successful for any length of time. If “Michigan’s” husband doesn’t stand up to Mom now, he never will. She would be happier in the long run without him. -- Hate To See You Suffer, Too Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Fog is spooky. Even for us dogs, this creeping mist

that envelopes our environs

when the dew point is right is just plain eerie. Even

though its moisture makes my nose work

even better, its cloaking of my visual world creeps me out. It’s like the shower scene in Hitchcock’s Psycho: you can’t see what’s lurking just on the other side of that foggy curtain.So the other night, as we headed out into the evening mist for our dog walk, I was already a bit edgy. I could barely see the llamas as we crossed through their pasture. I was able, however, to discern that they were standing unusually close together and all staring intensely off in the same general direction. Yup, even in the fog, my eyes informed me they were a bit nervous. My nose told me they reeked of anxious.We had just stepped from the pasture into the forest when both Dog Taylor and I picked up yet another nose full of troubling scents: white tail deer, cougar, blood, and fear. Just then my human appeared from out of the fog. I redoubled my sniffi ng in attempt to alert him that something was amiss up ahead. Kneeling down he saw it, the scarlet spatterings of blood leading down the trail. Then, before he could get back to his feet, a shot rang out. My man stared off in the direction of the blast, gave us the command to heel, and then said, “Come on dogs. Best we go home.” It was still dark and still foggy the next morning when I was let outside to attend to my usual early morning rituals. I had just begun some serious territory marking when I heard the sound of wing beats passing near overhead. Ravens, lots of them, all heading through the darkness as if on a mission. Then my nose picked up the smell of death hanging in the night air and I realized why the ravens were up before the sun. Seems the breakfast buffet had opened early.By the time my human was awake and moving, the cacophony of rawking, knocking, gurgling and yelling made by the overjoyed ravens was impossible to ignore. Knowing that a large number of ravens – sometimes unkindly called an “unkindness of ravens” – is almost always a sign that a killing has been committed, I was leashed and we went to investigate together.The dawn had arrived but the fog was still eerily thick. Using my nose I lead the human to a patch of tall thistles where a white ail doe now lay dead and partially consumed. The scene of her demise was less than a hundred metres from where, just last year, a cougar had killed and feasted upon my old friend Kootenay the llama. Had the doe met a similar fate? Surely it was her blood trail we followed last night. What of the gun shot then? This was turning into a mystery, a regular whodunnit, complete with multiple possible suspects and, of course, the inevitable swirling mist.Yes, there had been a death but no crime had been committed. Or had there? After consultation with a helpful conservation offi cer and some of his skilled forensics, it became unclear as to whether this was actually a cougar kill. The way the deer had been consumed pointed the fi nger at coyotes or maybe even a bear. Could the little doe have been wounded by a hunter, possibly a poacher, and then tracked to her deathbed and made a meal of after the fact?To make some kind of judgement as to what actually happened out there and what consequences it has for llamas, deer and dogs, would just be a shot in the dark. Or perhaps more accurately, a shot heard in the fog.
