Goats hoof it into the final two

SALLY MACDONALDTownsman Staff

They have almost done it! Cranbrook’s The Good Ol’ Goats is in the grand final of CBC Music’s nationwide Searchlight contest.

The young folk-rock band is up against Cor-nerbrook, Newfound-land’s Sherman Downey and the Am-biguous Case for the title of Canada’s best new artist.

The Goats were an-nounced as being in the top two on Monday, April 8 by Q’s Jian Ghomeshi.

Now, voters have until Thursday, April 11 at 10 p.m. to cast their votes in the final round at www.music.cbc.ca/#/Searchlight.

If the Goats make it through this round, they will be crowned Canada’s best new art-ists and be paid to per-form at the CBC Music Festival in Toronto, as

well as receiving a CBC Music video session, and $20,000 worth of musical equipment from Yamaha Canada.

The Good Ol’ Goats, which formed in 2011, consists of Mount Baker Secondary School stu-dents Joelle Winkel on shaker and backing vo-cals, Nolan Ackert on lead vocals, banjo and guitar, Angus MacDon-ald on mandolin, back-ing vocals and fiddle, Theo Moore on stand-up bass and backing vocals, Julian Bueckert on drums and Angus Liedtke on guitar, dobro, banjo, harmoni-ca and vocals.

In this final round, The Goats face off against bluegrass-folk-pop group Sherman Downey and the Am-biguous Case from Newfoundland. The five-piece band has performed at the Van-couver Olympics and the Juno Awards.

The young local band is now one round of votes away from being named Canada’s best new artist

I could barely contain my excitement, but as humans

place so much importance on

emotional self-control —

especially by their companion animals

— I restrained my urges. Well, for the most

part. I admit my thumping tail seemed to have a mind of its own and once or twice an embarrassing whiney-whimpering sound escaped through my clenched canines, but other than that I was the epitome of self-restraint.

The excitement that was nearly overwhelming me was brought on by several facts.

Firstly, Dog Taylor and I were riding in a motor powered vehicle (always cause for celebration).

Secondly, we were doing so at slow speed, over a rough road.

Thirdly, our alpha human was grinning for no discernable reason (always cause for concern).

Put these facts all together and any dog worth his milkbones would deduce that, oh joy of joys, we were going into the hills, for a hike.

Outside the window I could see mountains — the Steeples. My person calls them — looming up directly in front of us. Once parked, Dog Taylor and I scrambled out and began our obligatory sniffing, only to be interrupted by the alpha human for his obligatory photo at the trailhead. We posed in front of a sign that read “Sunken Creek, B.C. Recreational Trail,” and when we heard the shutter’s click, Taylor and I were off.

The route is one with no shortage of history. It starts off as a road, and then quickly becomes a track, then a trail, which heads south along the base of the mountains. Eventually it reaches a cascading stream that froths and tumbles down from the back side of the Steeples. There is a log foot bridge that spans Sunken Creek and from there the path turns to the east and heads steeply up into the mountains.

This trail was constructed nearly 840 dog years ago (120 human years) to provide access to a mine high in the sub alpine just below Dibble Glacier. Copper, lead, zinc, and of course gold were clawed out of the mountains then hauled down this very track by over burdened animals and world weary humans.

Man, with his large brain and opposable thumbs, likes to think himself the superior species. He claims this lofty perch because in his view, he is the only animal with the ability for rational thought and logical reasoning. He is also the only species that will fritter away a lifetime looking for shiny rocks, which if you think about it, makes chasing your tail look down right reasonable.

Our little pack followed the trail through the spring like forest, across Sunken Creek with its dazzling ice sculptures, and then climbed back into winter as we moved higher into the mountains. The deepening snow eventually became too much for Taylor who is older and my human who only has two legs, so we turned around and made our way back to the truck.

I had just begun to doze on the ride home when my alpha human began to make strange, high-pitched vocalizations. At first I thought he was whimpering but then realized he was trying desperately to emulate the sounds made by the singer whose voice was streaming from the speakers of the truck. This is something my human does when his mood is high and he is overcome with feelings of contentment.

With his emotional self-restraint now non-existent, he bobbed his head and continued to rent the air with his off-key keenings. I swear, if the man had had a tail he would have been wagging it.

Gearing up for Election 2013This is the second installment in the Townsman’s weekly series from the two declared Kootenay East candidates for the

upcoming provincial election — Bill Bennett of the B.C. Liberals and Norma Blissett of the BC NDP. The question of the week is: “What is the first tangible thing you will work on for this riding if elected?” If you have a question you would like

to submit for consideration, email barry@dailytownsman.com.If elected, I will work on

improvements to health care. The NDP have promised to improve access to quality health care by investing in homecare for seniors, improv-ing community-based ser-vices and facilities and reduc-ing the cost of prescription drugs. We know that there are capital spending needs in all regions of the province. As your representative in govern-ment, I will fight for the health care needs of Kootenay East.

I will work with the Interior Health Authority and the East Kootenay Regional Hospital District to make improve-ments to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital facility both in terms of staffing and infra-structure.

On the doorstep in the Elk Valley concerns about health care come up repeatedly. I will work for improvements to emergency, primary health

care and operating room staff-ing and facilities. We must re-cruit and retain additional doctors and augment medical support services in this un-der-served part of the prov-ince.

We also need more family physicians in Cranbrook. We will have to evaluate the suc-cess of existing rural recruit-ment strategies and proceed

accordingly. As taxpayers, we must keep

in mind that our provincial government is in serious fi-nancial difficulty. After 12 years of Liberal government we now have the highest long-term debt in the history of British Columbia – $56 billion. It is also estimated the BC Lib-eral election budget hides a $790 million deficit. As a re-sult, NDP candidates must be conservative in their election promises.

Adrian Dix and the BC NDP are committed to making practical changes that will make a real difference in peo-ples’ lives. As your representa-tive in government I will advo-cate for the needs of Kootenay East. I will be a strong, consis-tent and reliable representa-tive in Victoria. Bringing change for the better to this part of the province — one practical step at a time.

There is never just one tangible thing to do as MLA and often the priorities for the Elk Valley and Cran-brook are different. If I’m rehired, I will be working on projects like the $50 million Cranbrook high school re-placement, defending the coal industry and finding more family physicians.

However, the proposed Salvation Army Shelter is my first Cranbrook priority. I am already working hard on this project. Those of us who have a home, three square meals every day and a warm bed don’t always understand how many peo-ple in our community lack these basics. And if you don’t have the basics, imag-ine how hard it would be to get your life together, find a job, or look after your fami-ly. We can only call our-selves a “successful com-

munity” if our community does not have people amongst us falling through the cracks.

This project will meet the needs of people who are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless. Al-though I’ve found funding in the past for shelter opera-tions for men and women, I committed to this larger

project many years ago be-cause our region needs more than a space with cots and blankets. People are struggling with alcohol or drug addiction, mental ill-ness and abuse of various kinds. Keeping them warm and safe at night is import-ant, but does not address their health issues, or con-nect them up with opportu-nities for training or therapy or provide a stable life while they start a job.

The Salvation Army pro-vides a million beds a night globally. They’re the right group to provide housing and links to essential sup-ports for single men, single women, couples and fami-lies here in Cranbrook. My commitment is to continue working with the Salvation Army and the Cranbrook Community Foundation to bring this project to life.

A man charged with abduc-tion by a parent/guardian has been released on bail in Cran-brook Supreme Court.

Robert Barnett will have a trial by judge and jury in Cran-brook Supreme Court starting June 18.

In the meantime, Barnett has been released on a $10,000 re-cognizance, with his parents act-ing as sureties.

He was ordered not to reside with his parents, but to advise a

bail supervisor of his residence. He cannot possess or consume drugs or alcohol. Barnett must abide by the terms of any family court order; he cannot attend his parents’ home while the child connected to the alleged abduc-tion is present without Ministry of Children and Family Develop-ment approval; and he must sur-render his passport to Cranbrook RCMP.

Barnett is charged with ab-duction by a parent/guardian and theft over $5,000 in connec-tion with the November 2012 al-

leged abduction of a three-year-old boy from Fernie.

The incident last November sparked an Amber Alert, and the boy was found safe the next day in Whitefish, Montana.

Barnett’s trial is set to start on June 18 with jury selection, and is expected to last four days in Supreme Court.

At his last appearance in Jan-uary, Barnett chose to represent himself. However, he has now selected counsel to represent him during the bail hearing and the upcoming trial.

A dangerous offender hear-ing for admitted child abductor Randall Hopley has been de-layed once more pending a psy-chiatric evaluation.

In Cranbrook Supreme Court on Monday, April 8, defence counsel William Thorne asked Justice Lauri Ann Fenlon to ad-journ the case until June 17.

Thorne told Justice Fenlon that he is seeking a psychiatrist

to perform an expert evaluation of Randall Hopley prior to a dangerous offender hearing.

During a sentencing hearing last July, Crown prosecutor Lynal Doerksen requested that Hopley be declared a dangerous offender. The Crown has re-tained a psychiatrist who has performed an expert evaluation of Hopley; however defence counsel is seeking a second ex-pert opinion.

Hopley has pleaded guilty to

abduction of a child under 14 and break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence in connection to the September 7, 2011 abduction of three-year-old Kienan Hebert from the boy’s home in Sparwood. Kienan was returned to the home un-harmed four days later. On Sep-tember 13, a police sniffer dog tracked Hopley to a gravel pit in Crowsnest Lake, Alberta. Hopley has remained in custody ever since.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

Margaret Thatcher was the woman who began the shift to the right that has affected almost all the

countries of the West in the past three de-cades. She died in London on Monday, at the age of 87, 34 years after she became Britain’s first female prime minister and 23 years after she was driven from office. It is an open question whether the crash of 2008 and the ensuing prolonged recession have finally ended the reign of her ideas in West-ern politics.

“This woman is headstrong, obstinate and dangerously self-opinionated,” wrote some minion in the personnel department of British chemical giant ICI, rejecting young Margaret Roberts’s application for a job as research chemist in 1948. She was fresh out of Oxford Universi-ty, 23 years old, brim-ming with self-confi-dence, and absolutely full of opinions. She probably frightened the job interviewer half to death.

But she landed a job with a plastics company in Colchester in 1949. She joined the Conservative Party and stood for par-liament in the 1950 election (she was the youngest candidate ever), and married businessman Denis Thatcher in 1951. Margaret Thatcher, as she then became, finally made it into parliament in the 1959 election.

She entered the cabinet of Conservative Prime Minister Edward Heath in 1970 as the “statutory female” (as he gallantly put it). But she had the last laugh in 1975, re-placing Heath as party leader after the Conservatives lost the 1974 election. She took a very hard line from the start, both in domestic and in foreign politics. Her open hostility to the Soviet Union led a Soviet newspaper in 1976 to dub her the “Iron Lady”, a title in which she revelled.

Her real impact, however, was in British

domestic politics, where she broke the welfare-state con-sensus that had dominated all the major parties for the pre-vious thirty years. “It is our duty to look after ourselves,” she said, and the political or-thodoxy trembled before her onslaught.

An American diplomat in London, in a confidential as-sessment of the new Conser-vative leader in 1975, cap-tured the essence of Thatch-er’s revolutionary politics. She was, he wrote, the “genuine voice of a beleaguered bour-

geoisie, anxious about its eroding economic power and determined to arrest soci-ety’s seemingly inexorable trend towards collectivism.”

That was what carried her into office in the 1979 election, and as prime minister, she

acted on her convictions. After she had fought and won the Falklands War against long odds in 1982 her popularity was unas-sailable, and she used it to break the power of the trade unions and privatize state-owned industries. More than that, she made free-market ideology for all intents and purposes the state religion.

So it remained for thirty years, long after her harsh and confrontational style had lost her the support even of her own party. She was ousted as Conservative Party leader and prime minister by her own colleagues in 1990, but the Labour governments of 1997-2010 were also in thrall to her ideas. Their influence abroad, particularly in the United States, was equally great.

Yet her greatest contribution to politics, and the foundation of the right’s political success over recent decades, was not ideo-logical but tactical. She was the first politi-

cian to grasp the fact that with the decline of the old working class, it had become possible to win elections on a platform that simply ig-nored the wishes and needs of the poor. There weren’t as many of them as there used to be, and the poorest among them usually failed to vote at all.

This insight was key to the success of President Ronald Reagan in the United States in the 1980s, and to the triumph of conservative parties in many European countries in the same peri-od. It continues to be a major factor in the calculations of

parties both on the right and on the left down to the present day: you cannot count on the poor to win an election for you.

Margaret Thatcher was made a baron-ess after she relinquished her seat in the House of Commons in 1992, and contin-ued to sit in the House of Lords until ill health forced her to withdraw from public life entirely in 2002. In her last years she suffered from dementia, and she finally succumbed to a stroke on Monday.

Her influence lives on, at least for the moment, but it may not last much longer. The powerful middle class on which she founded her political strategy has been hollowed out by the very success of the free-market policies she promoted. Once you allow for the effects of inflation, aver-age middle class income in the United States, for example, has not grown at all in the past three decades.

The time may be coming when gaining the votes of the poor, including the grow-ing numbers of the “new poor”, will once again be essential to win elections.

Letters to the editorCruel arithmetic

As residents of the Cranbrook area who care about the welfare of children, we would like to bring your attention to a book, just released, called “A Cruel Arith-metic: Inside the Case Against Polygamy,” by Craig Jones.

When he was first appointed as Lead Counsel for the Attorney General, Jones felt that the crimes involved with polyga-my such as child abuse would be prose-cuted in our legal system. This book de-scribes how the author’s own views evolved from skepticism to a committed belief in the campaign against polygamy once he met the witnesses who had been raised in Bountiful.

The book’s review states: “This is a remarkable insider’s story of

a unique piece of litigation: the first trial-court ‘constitutional reference’ in Canadian history. Craig Jones, lead counsel for the Attorney-General of British Columbia, describes the argument he and his colleagues developed against polygamy, drawing from fields as diverse as anthropology, history, economics and evolutionary psychology. Yet it was ultimately the testimony of real people that showed how the theoretical harms of polygamy’s ‘cruel arithmetic’ played out

upon its victims.”Polygamy is still illegal in Canada, be-

cause on November 23, 2011, Chief Justice Robert Bauman of the B.C. Supreme Court ruled that S. 293 CC, prosecuting polyga-my, is constitutional in that polygamy harms all society, and particularly contra-venes the human rights of women and children.

selenium levelsNeither Teck nor the B.C. government

has denied the well documented facts re-iterated by the recent selenium study quoted in Wildsight and its partners’ media release on the poisoning of the Elk River.  B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake reacted by the afternoon of our re-lease stating that there would be no new coal mines approved in the Elk Valley until a valley-wide plan to manage the cumula-tive effects of selenium concentrations in the Elk River is developed. This is a wel-come announcement.

Though the selenium problem has been growing for decades, British Colum-

bia is still without legal limits to selenium pollution. Until a plan is in place, includ-ing enforceable obligations, it would be foolish to expand permitting and the poi-soning of a world class river that runs through our communities.

Unfortunately, some of the response from less informed sources suggested that the selenium levels in the river that far exceed water quality guidelines for fish and humans could be tied to “unknown” background levels of selenium. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The recent study looked at water quality both above the mines and in the Flathead River — both of which run through coal bearing landscapes. These pristine waters showed selenium levels consistently well below water quality guidelines.

The challenge is to reverse the present trend of the increasing poisoning and put enforceable scientifically supported stan-dards in place.  The balance between in-dustrial development and environmental health must be reestablished. This will not be achieved until Elk River water quality is again healthy for fish and appropriate en-vironmental mitigation and compensa-tion in place.

Margaret Thatcher: 1925-2013

PAGE 6 TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 2013

This is the first of a series of policy com-mentaries on the four main parties con-testing the 2013 B.C. election.

I’m starting with the B.C. Green Party, which has higher than usual hopes for the 2013 election. It was also the first to put out a substantial policy document, albeit one that is still being debated and altered.

Green Book 2013 contin-ues the Utopian positions that only a party with no chance of forming a govern-ment has the luxury to put forward. For example, they would double the area of parks in B.C., but take 100 years to do it.

Immediately, they would almost dou-ble the carbon tax, taking it from seven to 12 cents on a litre of gasoline.

Greens would extend this steeply in-creased carbon tax to industries such as natural gas and cement production. Lead-er Jane Sterk told me she expects cement producers and the like to adapt, rather than shut down as their competitive posi-tion erodes.

And what about the extra billions in carbon tax revenues? Sterk says most should continue to go to income tax reduc-tions, as is now the case, because the pur-pose is to change consumption patterns, not to increase overall tax revenue. Most, but not all.

“We think there is an argument to be made for putting, for a period of time, the increased revenue from the carbon tax into creating the infrastructure that allows peo-ple to benefit from a carbon tax,” Sterk

said.That means transit, and

potentially retrofits of homes and other buildings as well. Tax increase aside, this is es-sentially the NDP position too.

The Greens emphasize wind and geothermal power. Sterk faces the awkward task

of arguing against hydroelectric expan-sion.

A Green government would cancel the Site C dam project on the Peace River. Sterk says it would only serve as a subsidy to liquefied natural gas exports, which she doesn’t believe materialize as internation-al competitors develop.

The Greens’ star candidate, University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weav-er, agrees. Both point to vast reserves of Russian gas that may well get to Asia more quickly and cheaply.

Sterk said the 35,000 existing gas wells in northern B.C. “are not going to be shut down.” Actually, in the absence of LNG exports, that is exactly what would happen to many of them. The U.S. has its own shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only current ex-port customer. Converting transport trucks

and BC Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going to maintain the vast industry blooming in northern B.C.

The official Green Party position is to place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water use policy is developed. Current innovations such as reusing municipal wastewater are ignored.

The Green platform also demands dis-closure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done.

If one were to design a self-fulfilling prophecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green Party platform would be a good place to start.

Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m left with the impression that much of it re-mains calculated as a soothing message for urban voters who have been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker protest.

If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surfing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Liber-als and the NDP. It will not be due to the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices.

It’s still pretty easy being Green.

The Mount Baker senior girls soccer team reached the final of their season-opening tourna-ment in Kelowna this past week-end, kicking off a successful start to their 2013 campaign.

The team won their first three games over Friday and Saturday, but were beaten 3-0 by Mount Boucherie in the final game, which gave the Baker girls a sil-ver medal.

It was the first time the team had played in game situations, and head coach Jimmy Robin-son was impressed by what he saw.

“They played really, really well,” said Robinson. “What I noticed from this weekend is, we are very strong defensively, I know the 3-0 score doesn’t real-ly show that, but that Mount Boucherie was beating other teams by 5-0, 6-0 and 7-0.”

The Baker girls cruised through Similkameen Second-ary School with a 2-1 win, and followed up with a 4-0 victory

against St. Ann’s Academy on Friday.

The Wild rolled into Saturday with their undefeated record and downed their hosts, Immac-ulata Regional High School, by a score of 1-0 to put them into the final against Mount Boucherie.

“They’re a very, very strong school,” said Robinson, of their championship opponents. “Have been for years.”

However, the Wild put on a good game, which was centred around their strong defensive corps.

“They played really, really well,” said Robinson. “What I

noticed from this weekend is, we are very strong defensively, I know the 3-0 score doesn’t real-ly show that, but that Mount Boucherie was beating other teams by 5-0, 6-0 and 7-0.”

Robinson singles out the per-formance of his goaltender, Alex Juricic, as one of the keys to the team’s successful run over the weekend.

“Our goalie, Alex Juricic, was absolutely outstanding,” said Robinson. “I had numerous ref-erees and parents and coaches from other teams come up and say she did a very good job, and I couldn’t agree more.

“…Alex really stood out on the defensive end, along with our sweeper, Erin White.

“Offensively, Alyssa Rund-berg [stood out]—she scored four of our total goals.”

The senior girls team will stay home this weekend, as three squads from around the region will come to town on the week-end for some informal game ex-perience at the Mount Baker school field.

Senior girls squad reaches the final in season-opening tournamentTRE VOR CR AWLEY

Sports Editor

Sam Reinhart is back in familiar territory, as Hockey Canada invited the Kootenay Ice captain to the national men’s U-18 selection camp this week in Toronto.

Reinhart, 17, made the team last year and helped the Canadian squad towards a bronze medal finish at the IIHF World U18 Champion-

ships in the Czech Re-public.

The tryout camp fea-tures invitees from teams that are out of the CHL playoffs, and six other WHLers will join the Kootenay Ice sniper. Eight players are repre-senting the QMJHL, while six skaters hail from the OHL.

Don Hay, who mans the bench for the WHL’s Vancouver Giants, will

coach the national squad for the tournament, which is hosted in Sochi, Russia.

Canada will play two pre-tournament games before the IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship, on April 14 against the United States and April 16 against the Czech Re-public. Canada will open the tournament on April 18 against Slovakia.

Tears flow as hockey greats Messier, Henderson and King honoured in Ottawa

STE VE RENNIECanadian Press

OTTAWA - NHL Hall of Famer Mark Messier couldn’t stop the tears, or the lump from form-ing in his throat, as he and two other hockey greats were honoured Monday for their contri-butions to the game.

The six-time Stanley Cup winner and peren-nial all-star broke down as he spoke of the na-tional pride he felt as a young boy watching fel-low Order of Hockey in Canada recipient Paul Henderson score the goal that sealed Cana-da’s hockey supremacy over the Soviet Union in the 1972 Summit Series.

“As an 11-year-old boy who was playing hockey, to get that kind of opportunity to feel what real national pride is all about through the game of hockey, obvi-ously inspired me, not only as a hockey player, but to one day wear that sweater,” Messier said.

He had to pause for a moment to collect him-self. “I almost got through it,” he joked.

Messier, arguably the

greatest leader the sport has ever seen, had to pause again as he re-called his pep talk to the Canadian players he coached at the 2010 Spengler Cup in Switzer-land, in which he de-scribed the pride and sense of responsibility that comes with wearing the Maple Leaf.

“I didn’t cry when I was telling this story in the dressing room,” Messier said.

Messier wasn’t the only one to shed tears during Monday’s two-hour ceremony on Par-liament Hill. Coaching legend Dave King, the

third recipient of the Hockey Canada honour, welled up as he spoke of fellow coach Wayne Fleming, who died re-cently of cancer.

“Sorry for the emo-tion, but these are great people,” King said. “For a coach who never got very emotional, here I am, emotional.”

Amid the tears there was also good news as former Team Canada star Henderson shared a positive development in his battle with cancer.

The 69-year-old na-tive of Kincardine, Ont., has been diagnosed with chronic lympho-

cytic leukemia. He told the audience that treat-ment he received as part of a clinical trial in the United States appears to have had a positive ef-fect on his health.

Henderson thanked his wife, Eleanor, for get-ting him into a clinic trial.

Messier, Henderson and King join a select group of players and builders who have been awarded the Hockey Canada honour, includ-ing Jean Beliveau, Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Cassie Camp-bell-Pascall and Gord Renwick.

C ANADIAN PRESSOTTAWA - Prime

Minister Stephen Harp-er is urging NHL com-missioner Gary Bettman to let the league’s stars play in the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

Harper says he speaks for all Canadians who want to see the country’s top players

don the Maple Leaf at the Winter Games.

NHL players have been part of the Olym-pics since 1998 in Naga-no, Japan.

The league is mulling whether it is worth shut-ting down the NHL sea-son for a few weeks to let its players take part in the 2014 Games.

The NHL, Interna-tional Olympic Com-mittee, International Ice Hockey Federation and NHL Players’ Associa-tion held meetings earli-er this year to discuss the league letting its players go to Sochi.

But so far no decision has been made on the NHLers’ participation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The unexpected marks your actions, yet you also could be reacting to a parent or boss. Op-portunities come to you through conversations and from staying in contact with those in your im-mediate circle. Choose the right one for you. Tonight: As you like it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Suddenly, you get it -- you un-derstand what has been going on between you and someone else. You can change your per-spective, but often you can’t con-trol your knee-jerk reaction. That transformation will take time. Tonight: Make a small purchase on the way home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You know what you want and where you are heading. The trick will be encouraging others not to interfere with your set course. Even better would be to gain their support. You will have your hands full convincing an associ-ate of the rightness of your ways. Tonight: Make nice.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are capable of dealing with the unexpected. Your mood swings depending on the situ-ation. Know that how you feel now might change within a short period of time. Be careful, as a partner or an associate could become controlling. Tonight: In the limelight. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Seek out information that might not be readily available. Figure out why a situation is happen-ing, beyond the obvious. Step back and observe, as you will be able to see more easily. Know that a different approach is need-ed. Tonight: Join friends at a jam session. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with others directly. Peo-ple appreciate your time more than you realize. Pressure builds where you least expect it. Others have strong points of view that might not stand up to a creative idea. A boss gives you the au-thority you want. Tonight: Share your day with a pal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The unexpected occurs when

dealing with others. You could decide that you don’t want any drama, but that is what you will get with your present circle of friends. Why not take this as a sign to detach? You can be pres-ent without being involved. To-night: Take a favorite person out. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll want to play it low-key, no matter what goes on. Listen to others and what they are shar-ing. You have a strong sense of what is needed. Tune into one person and work together to achieve more of what you both want. Tonight: Make sure you get some exercise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Allow your creativity to flow, and you will make it through a difficult situation. Your innate reaction draws strong results. Do not become involved in a power play or difficult situation. Others want to be around you, so let them. Tonight: Let the fun begin. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to reassess a sit-uation more carefully, especially as it can have quite an impact on your personal life. You might

be more controlling than you realize, and it will draw in only negative reactions. Take some time to clear your head. Tonight: At home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen, but try not to overwhelm someone with questions. You could feel as if this person has pushed you beyond the call of duty. How you communicate that feeling will determine the nature of your bond in the long run. You do need to say some-thing. Tonight: Kick up your heels. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to rethink a question involving your funds and security. Your impulsiveness could have given someone the wrong impression. You could want to change the situation. You also might be too generous for your own good. Tonight: Your treat. BORN TODAY Fashion designer Marc Jacobs (1963), singer/songwriter Tom Lehrer (1928), actor Dennis Quaid (1954) ***

Dear Annie: I wanted to share a bit of what it’s like to be the family member of a person who drinks too much. I know. I had more than 40 years of experience by the time I fi-nally sought answers. I studied brain- and addiction-related research to assess my loved one’s drinking patterns in order to protect myself from secondhand drinking. Secondhand drinking is a term to describe the impact on the person on the receiving end of another person’s drinking behaviors. These drinking patterns cause brain chang-es -- especially in the areas of the brain re-sponsible for judgment, memory, coordina-tion, pleasure/reward and reasoning. And we don’t fully understand the physical and emotional consequences to the health of a family member or friend who repeatedly deals with SHD. These include anxiety, de-pression, stomach ailments, skin problems, obesity, sleep problems, difficulties at work or in school, migraines and more. April 11, 2013, is National Alcohol Screen-ing Day (NASD). This year, I urge people who love someone who drinks too much to con-duct an anonymous screening of their loved one’s drinking patterns. Screening for Men-tal Health has created a fantastic website, www.HowDoYouScore.org, where anyone can anonymously evaluate their own or a loved one’s drinking patterns through an on-line assessment. The website also provides information on treatment options and sug-gestions for what it would take to cut down on or stop drinking. This kind of anonymous screening allows you to understand what you are really deal-ing with: a drinking pattern that is changing their loved one’s brain and causing hurtful drinking behaviors. -- Lisa Frederiksen, Au-thor, Speaker, Consultant Dear Lisa: Thank you for sharing your story and emphasizing the importance of screen-ing for alcoholism. Once again, those who wish to be screened can do so at howdoyou-score.org. Dear Annie: I have lupus and suffer terri-bly. Some days are better than others, but most include fatigue, pain or some other symptom. Yet, when friends greet me, they say, “How are you? You look good.” Rather than greet me this way, I would prefer they not ask about my illness, be-cause I haven’t felt well in 17 years. Could you please tell readers in this position to simply say, “It is so good to see you”? That way, I don’t feel obligated to speak about my current condition. -- Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired Dear Sick: Your suggestion is a good one, and we hope people will keep it in mind. But we don’t believe these friends actually ex-pect a rundown of your illness, nor are you obligated to talk about it. Greeting someone with, “How are you?” is generally rhetorical. You aren’t expected to respond other than to say, “Fine, thanks,” or some short varia-tion. Because you haven’t truly been well for years, it stands to reason that you would take questions about your health more literally than intended. Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the let-ter from “Rocky Mount, Va.,” who thought dogs should be allowed at the funerals of masters who have died. To have a dog at a fu-neral privately, prior to the public gathering, is a good idea --probably for both humans and dogs. There is a famous painting by Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-1873) entitled “The Old Shepherd’s Chief Mourner,” depicting a pointer leaning against a casket with its head on top of the casket. It brings tears to my eyes anytime I even think of it. -- Watertown, Wis. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
