The El Nino wet weather pat-tern that’s hit the region has brought much precipitation and at high elevation that means snow and lots of it.

Jesse Ellis, a forecaster for the Southeast Fire Centre, has tracked about 50 per cent more snow so far this month than what’s typically recorded from the weather station in Castlegar.

He also noted 18 per cent more rain than average and much milder conditions in a sneak peak climate summary.

“The reason for this is we’ve had a steady stream of Pacific system after Pacific system com-ing in from the west, and it’s just been a really active pattern in terms of all the storms coming in over the area,” he added.

Trail residents may have been out shovelling daily early this winter but the warm weather in

the valley has melted much of the white stuff now. The City of Trail reports that it’s on budget with snow removal.

The city was busy in December removing snow from West and East Trail neighbour-hoods and downtown. Crews are now focused on removing snow from stockpiles and transport-ing loads to designated snow dumping areas.

“That’s typically what we’ve

South Columbia Search and Rescue (SAR) took a sledge hammer to the front of its hall Wednesday, signalling the start of an overhaul that has been a long time coming.

The group operates out of the former Legion building in Fruitvale, which has been a solid clubhouse though its exterior sug-gests otherwise. The front end of the building, an addition put on years ago, is built on concrete blocks and has started to sink and tear over the years. Spray foam has mended leaky spots and prevented mould but is by no means a solu-tion.

South Columbia SAR has se-cured $35,500 to do Phase 1 of a redesign and sits tight for the second portion of work, tallying at $112,000, which will include a new three-bay garage and roof.

“We store our vehicles and boat all over Fruitvale and Trail. Every year it ends up moving to a new lo-cation because someone gets tired of having it in their driveway,” said Mike Hudson, president of South Columbia SAR. “It’s going to im-prove our response time because we won’t have to round up our vehicles before we load up …”

Its fleet of two trucks and a boat

will also withstand the elements longer when properly stored, he adds.

Phase 1 of the overhaul will see the dilapidated face removed and rebuilt; the property landscaped,

and an outdoor staircase added giving it a real “alpine” look.

There is more work to come,

but the group has divided the im-provements into phases as a means of getting started and achieving its ultimate goal of a renewed func-tional hall.

“For a couple years now we’ve looked at every option that we could, whether we could move to a new building, a new location,” said Hudson. “We could have put a steel Quonset up for probably half the cost of what we’re looking at, but unfortunately here there’s a little bit more red tape and rules because we’re within a develop-ment permit zone in Fruitvale.”

But working with the village has proven to be helpful, he added. Municipal staff guided the volun-teer group through the permit pro-cess and building a business case.

Footing the entire bill in one go was also unrealistic, added vice president Adam James.

“(The renovation) is really im-portant to us but it’s still lower on the list,” he said. “With the funding we do get priorities are training, and equipment and (the project) has just taken a while to bubble up to the top so we can start making some progress.”

The project was given a boost with donations from individuals, businesses and organizations, in-cluding help from Columbia Basin Trust, Teck, Rotary and reduced rates from main contractor, DJM.

South Columbia SAR gets swinging on hall overhaul

South Columbia Search and Rescue president Mike Hudson took a swing at the volunteer group’s hall, which is getting a facelift after years of planned improvements. DJM Contracting will tear the front of the building down this week and start building an outdoor staircase next week.

been experiencing in the last few years here,”

said Larry Abenante, Trail’s public works manager. “You get the big dump of snow and

deal with it and next thing you know it’s real mild again, and things are what you see right now.”

The case is dras-tically different in Rossland, where stop signs are almost en-gulfed in snow banks.

That provides a perfect setting for this weekend’s Rossland Winter Carnival and the snow-related ac-tivities.

The conditions couldn’t be better for Red Mountain Resort. The current alpine snow depth sits at

about 215 centimetres, which is reminiscent of the 225 cm in 2005/06 when Red closed the season with the biggest snow chart year with 330 cm.

“We’re tracking right now to be one of the best ever but of course, we won’t know that until April,” con-firmed Matt Henry, di-rector of sales at Red Mountain Resort.

“When Red Mountain Resort hits the 2-metre mark in terms of snow pack, the skiing just becomes exceptional, and that’s

where we’re at now. It’s setting up the founda-tion for the next eight weeks of incredible skiing.”

Though Henry wouldn’t give figures, he said Red broke all of its records in terms of visitors and revenue over the Christmas holiday period and has carried that momen-tum since.

“Red is on the radar and those who have put it on their bucket list, have watched the snow reports and have decided now is the time,” he said.

Joining hands in support of youth at-risk is proving to be a win-win for all.

Students in the Take a Hike (TAH) program have a new vehicle for travel to adventure-based learning challenges and the Trail area has a team of young adults ready to help with community-wide projects.

A new van was unveiled Monday morning at the Kootenay Columbia Learning Centre (KCLC), much to the delight of 16 students currently enrolled in the program as well as staff and local businesses that donated to the cause.

The 15-passenger capacity allows the class to travel and encounter new challenges as a cohesive unit, outside the doors of the school.

“Before, students had to rotate going on out-trips or volunteer days because there was not enough room in the van we currently use,” KCLC Principal Nathan Robinson explained. “This means they can all go on an out-trip at the same time.”

Robinson was awed by the community banding together and raising money in support of at-risk youth.

“It means so much to them to feel valued by the commu-nity,” he emphasized. “And we are so grateful for the ongoing community support that en-sures the sustainability of our program.”

Three-years of fuel and the

vehicle’s wrapping (signage) were also donated for the dedi-cated TAH bus.

“The value of this particu-lar donation is over $15,000,” says Gordon Matchett, TAH foundation’s chief executive of-ficer, noting the organization raises over $100,000 each year to support the program.

Students share their grati-tude for community support by writing thank-you letters, sharing their stories and vol-unteering time with many ser-vice groups and businesses.

“As an example, last week our students reciprocated the community’s generosity by painting the interior of a community member’s house,”

Matchett shared. “The stu-dents are truly engaged in the cycle of generosity here in the Kootenays.”

The program has been based in KCLC for three years, though students from the en-tire West Kootenay region are eligible to enroll. In that time, 40 students have successfully graduated.

Leadership skills and healthy coping mechanisms are introduced through out-door adventures such as hik-ing, biking and canoeing. The program also provides one-on-one support with clinical therapists who accompany students on out-trips as well as individualized academic in-

struction.Take a Hike students are

brave enough to face obstacles to learning that often include substance use, mental health challenges and past trauma, says Matchett.

“One of the keys to success of the Take a Hike program is the support of the commu-nity,” he told the Trail Times. “Community members volun-teer their time, provide op-portunities for the students to volunteer, and provide the fi-nancial resources the program needs, ” Matchett said.

“The program brings to-gether community members to make sure no student is left behind.”

Local police are warning the public about a prolific phone scam targeting residents in Trail, Rossland and the surrounding areas.

People are receiving telephone calls from a male claiming to be, “Shawn White from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA),” but is not.

The caller threatens police or court action unless the person calls a 1-900 number to deal with the matter.

This is an attempt to have people call a pay-per-dial number and obtain their personal information for further frauds.

Do not call the 1-900 number.

Police urge anyone with concerns about the CRA to call the le-gitimate phone number that can be found on the Government of Canada website at www.cra-arc.gc.ca.

In some instances, the fraudulent caller claims to be a local police officer and use threatening of force-ful language to scare the person into paying a fictitious debt to the

revenue agency.Call display may

show the phone num-ber of the local police agency and the caller may even threaten the recipient with an arrest warrant unless imme-diate payment to the agency is made.

Again, this is an at-tempt to fraudulently obtain personal and fi-nancial information.

Police say do not provide your credit card information, per-sonal information or any form of payment, such as cash, cheque or

money order.Anyone with con-

cerns especially regard-ing an arrest warrant should contact local police, Trail RCMP Cpl. Mike Wilson advised in a Wednesday news re-lease.

New frauds are in-

vented on a daily basis, according to the CRA.

Keep access codes, user ID, passwords, and PINs a secret and never provide personal infor-mation. More tips about protection against iden-tity theft are available on the agency’s website.

There is a lot to be a said about thinking before speaking. It sounds so simple in theory – think

about the words that you want to come out of your mouth.

Are they wise? Are they hurtful? Are they appropriate?

Nowadays whether you’re a poli-tician running for president of the United States or someone just sit-ting in front of a computer screen, it’s somehow acceptable to just spout off at anything and anytime and damn the consequences.

The societal norm that was prevalent for decades has somehow been over-ridden by the loudest complainer or the one that lands the biggest insult.

It happens all too often in po-litical discourse and once again this week it has reared its ugly head.

The latest salvos surround the Energy East pipeline. While western mayors and premiers are clamouring for a pipeline to be built to get oil to the East Coast re-fineries and shipping ports, Quebec mayors are stonewalling it over all types of concerns.

In my opinion I see a Canadian pipeline as a great opportunity to move a Canadian resource to a Canadian refinery. It’s not like sending it west to a port then shipped elsewhere to be refined. It’s all done in Canada and employing Canadians.

Of course when you have two

different views, the federal government is hoping to play the role of referee and get everybody on the same page. But it doesn’t help when civil discourse is tossed aside in an at-tempt to grandstand.

Conservative MP Candice Bergen showed her class telling the Prime Minister to call the Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre and “tell him to smarten up.”

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, always an over-the-top speak-er, and Brian Jean, the head of the Wildrose Park in Alberta, were both quick with the insults and rhetoric that would make Donald Trump proud.

They threw in jabs on equal-ization payments and taxes and benefits to diminish their Eastern counterparts and remind them who buttered their bread all these years.

Nowhere is there a call to meet and talk. Nowhere is there an out-stretched hand signaling a chance for a mutual agreement.

No. In this day and age it’s fire back with a big and quick zinger.

Even a five-year-old throwing a tantrum eventually realizes it won’t get him that ice cream cone if he keeps it up.

So it was refreshing to hear the

one voice that seem-ingly rises above all the noise time and time again. That voice belongs to Calgary’s mayor Naheed Nenshi.

He responded to Coderre’s stance on the pipelines and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plea to follow a process to appease everyone.

“It is Mayor Coderre’s job to get the best pos-sible deal that he can get, and more importantly, to raise his concerns and questions, but I think what is really important here, and what I appreciated the prime minister saying, is that there is a process in place,” Nenshi told the Canadian Press.

“It is a rigorous science-based process. The National Energy Board knows what it is doing.”

He added that it was impor-tant to address the issue through a thoughtful open-dialgue process.

How refreshing.In contrast his comment came

the same week our very own B.C. Premier Christy Clark was telling the media she is battling the “forces of No” in her province.

With one stroke of the brush she painted some people as saying “no to everything and heaven knows there are plenty of those in British

Columbia.”She is probably still angry at

the “No,” her party got from the public over the Harmonized Sales Tax even though her predecessor promised it wasn’t on the agenda.

Maybe she’s angry about the “No” protesters gave her party’s Jumbo Glacier Resort plan even though her government had the audacity to create, at taxpayer’ ex-pense, a municipality and council for a town without any residents.

Perhaps it’s the “No,” she heard from voters who rejected her in the Vancouver-Point Grey riding last election. She handled that by giv-ing the Westside-Kelowna MLA a plum position in Asia to step aside for her.

Sorry Christy, sometimes “No,” means “No.”

Clark, Wall and other provincial leaders who simply want to use the old George Bush line of, “You’re either with us or against us,” are hopefully finding out their rhetoric has reached its shelf life.

The days of us-versus-them have taken a toll on every aspect of our society.

Our newly-minted Prime Minister might not have all the answers to his promises. But his attitude of keeping dialogue open and respectful instead of confron-tational is one true Canadian re-source we can all benefit from.

A good newspaper, play-wright Arthur Miller once said, is a nation talking to itself.

So what happens when our newspapers start to die? Will the nation die, too?

Full disclosure: I love news-papers. I have been a reporter at two (Calgary Herald, Ottawa Citizen) and a columnist at three (National Post, Ottawa Citizen and Sun Media). I have a degree in journalism. I have taught journal-ism to innocent youngsters. Before I succumbed to the siren song of politics, and went to work for some guy named Jean Chretien, all I ever wanted to be was a journalist.

Newspapers, however, are in big trouble. Everyone knows this. There are all kinds of reasons why: ad revenue has virtually disappeared. Newspaper manag-ers have done a pretty lousy job. The culture has changed.

The big reason, of course, is that newspapers responded to the Internet in precisely the wrong way. Instead of making content easier to access - like Facebook or Twitter or blogs do - newspapers initially placed some or all of their content behind subscription walls and registra-tion forms and whatnot.

That wouldn’t have been a problem if (a) Internet-age peo-ple were in any way patient and (b) Internet-age people believed in paying and/or registering for things on-line. Neither is true. In the new media environment, ev-eryone is cheap and everyone is in a rush: they’re used to getting stuff for free, and all in a matter of seconds, too.

If you can get news and com-mentary for free, why pay for it? For too long, it was a question too many newspapers couldn’t answer. And so, for debt-drown-

ing outfits like Postmedia, it’s too late. Last week, Canada’s biggest newspaper chain jettisoned doz-ens of award-winning journalists and shuttered newsrooms across the country. Thereafter, an RBC Dominion Securities analysis as-signed Postmedia shares a value of zero. As in, nothing.

Depending upon your point of view, Postmedia is now either

dead or dying. But some folks still shrug about that. Facebook, Twitter and blogs will fill the result-ing void, they say. They don’t think it’s a big deal.

They’re wrong.Our democ-

racy - the nation itself, as Arthur Miller noted - will be diminished

with the loss of newspapers. Would Canadians know as much as they do about the thalidomide scandal had the Globe and Mail not investigated it? Would they have known about the secret life of Toronto mayor Rob Ford, were it not for the Toronto Star’s ef-forts?

Would they have learned about the “robocalls” mess, but for the efforts of the Ottawa Citizen and (yes) Postmedia? The treatment of prisoners by Canadian Forces in Afghanistan (Globe and La Presse)? The sponsorship scandal (Globe)? And on and on.

Trust me: we wouldn’t. Were it not for the exemplary work of those newspapers - those jour-nalists and editors, now being pink-slipped by Paul Godfrey and his Postmedia guild of vam-pires - we simply wouldn’t. And, in some real way, our lives would be demonstrably different: less safe, less informed, less free.

Years ago, I was the Special Assistant to the aforementioned Jean Chretien, back when he was the Leader of the Opposition. Part of job was to help organize for Question Period. Our job, then and later, was to hold the

government to account. We’d put together a list of topics and MPs, and we’d go after the government in Question Period.

We measured success, mostly, with one key indicator: media coverage. If newspapers covered what we did in QP, we were doing well. If they didn’t, we weren’t.

Any Opposition MP or MPP or MLA will tell you: if the media aren’t there to shine a light on a government’s misdeeds or mis-spending, very few people are going to end up knowing about it.

Without newspapers, in par-ticular, an Opposition member’s question isn’t going to get no-ticed. TV and radio can try and fill the void, but they simply don’t have the ability to document complex stories - scandals and triumphs alike - in the way that newspapers do.

Justin Trudeau, to his great credit, has already publicly ex-pressed his concern about what Postmedia is doing. So, too, Brian Jean, leader of Alberta’s Wildrose Party. They were smart, and right, to do so.

Other political leaders need to do likewise, fast. They need to demand that the Competition Bureau make good on its pledge to reopen the file on Postmedia’s acquisition of the Sun Media newspapers a few months ago. Among other things, Postmedia has not lived up to its solemn promise to “maintain distinct ed-itorial departments.” Postmedia lied about that, and everyone now knows it.

And everyone will also know, soon enough, what our democ-racy will be like without fine newspapers like the Calgary Herald, or the Ottawa Citizen, or the Chronicle-Herald, or National Post, or the Vancouver Sun, or La Presse.

It will be less of a democracy, and less of a nation, too.

An editorial from the New Glasgow News

The oil industry has certainly taken a licking, what with the price now down around $37 a barrel, and a severe slow-down in activity in Alberta and Saskatchewan. No one doubts it will recover at some point, and when it does, markets will need to be staked out.

But Canada already is facing some uncertainty on that front that will need to be ironed out -- the sooner the better.

While concerns are nearly al-ways raised about pipeline proj-ects to transport crude, one that’s been getting a lot of attention is the Energy East Pipeline, with its aim, if it were to go ahead, of

taking the product from Alberta’s oilfields to a refinery in Saint John, N.B.

Last week, for example, Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre and the Montreal Metropolitan Community stated their opposi-tion to the pipeline, arguing the risks far outweigh any economic benefit.

That’s an interesting claim, particularly considering how much the province of Quebec has benefited over the years from federal transfer payments, largely thanks to its rich cousin, Alberta. But beyond the ques-tion of revenues derived from resource wealth, if we’re going to discuss risk, it’s essential to com-pare pipelines to alternate means

of transport.Analysts continue to say that,

although risk can’t be entirely eradicated, pipelines are the saf-est choice when it comes to mov-ing oil.

It’s discouraging to see this turned into a regional battle, but such is often the reality in a country with the breadth and diversity of Canada.

As Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said in response to this standoff, we need to have a dis-cussion about pipelines that is “drama free.”

Charming as the thought might be that greener energy al-ternatives are on the horizon, the reality is that we’ll be using fossil fuels for some years to come.

It’s pretty hard to please everyone

JIM BAILEYTimes Sports Editor

Red Mountain Resort wel-comed over 200 of North America’s best freeskiers for its annual Canadian Open Freeride Championships on the week-end, with stellar results from Red Mountain skiers.

Links Line and Papoose Bowl on Granite Mountain provided optimal conditions for competi-tors seeking challenging black-diamond terrain to cliff drop and rock hop their way to the finish.

“It’s a two-star event,” Nicole Briggs, marketing and events manager for Red Mountain, told Rossland News reporter Chelsea Novak. “It’s listed as one of the IFSA’s national ranking events, where athletes can compete to gain points, and then those points get them into ultimately the free-skiing world tour.”

Red Mountain Academy’s (RMA) Simon Hillis and Logan Merringer took first and third place respectively in the Male 12-14 category. Hillis led all the way, after posting the top score, 30.1, in his first run, the Rossland skier improved on his second de-

scent with a 31.0 run, for a com-bined final score of 61.8 to beat out Adam Kuch of Whitewater with 60.8, and Merringer with 60.5.

The juniors competed on Friday and Saturday in three age categories, 7-11, 12-14, and 15-18, while collegiate skiers, 18 to 24 years old, started Monday with final runs going Tuesday.

RMA’s Samara Kuhn placed second in the Female 12-14 cat-egory, moving up from sixth spot with a sparkling second run, to finish just behind Northwest Freeride’s Anna Thompson of the U.S.

In the Male 7-11 category, RMA’s Simon Impey moved up from seventh on his first run to capture second place after laying down the highest score, a 30.1, on his second run, while Ryan Kelly of Whitewater claimed top spot. Toby Hillis from Red Mountain Snow Sports claimed fourth just one-tenth of a point behind Whitewater’s Brodie Jensen for third.

In freeride competition, skiers are scored on a combined total of two runs that are judged on a competitor’s creativity in select-

ing natural terrain features and aggressive lines.

The point system is based on five categories where judges give credit for line choice, control, fluidity, technique, and style/en-ergy.

Athletes collect points throughout the winter season at the International Free skiers and Snowboarders Association (IFSA) events. Highly ranked athletes will have an opportunity to compete in the Junior World Championships in February.

The Canadian Open Freeride Championship is an annual event at Red, sanctioned by IFSA and is the longest running junior fre-eride event in Canada.

“Red has supported junior free-riding from the begin-ning, taking the event seriously, treating the athletes well and it shows,” said Briggs. “Everybody knows this event is special.”

This is the first year that the championship was also open to Collegiate snowboarders.

Collegiate results from their final runs Tuesday were unavail-able at press time.

With files from Chelsea Novak, Rossland News.

A freeride competitor gets some big air as skiers look on from the lift last weekend. Red Mountain Resort hosted the Canadian Open Freeride Championships with over 200 skiers descending on Links Line and Papoose Bowl for the annual event.

TIMES STAFFThe Trail Smoke

Eaters woes in West Kelowna continued, as the Warriors crushed the Smokies 8-1 on Tuesday at Royal LePage Place.

West Kelowna for-ward Jonathan Desbiens scored the winner at 11:44 of the first period, when he poked a puck over the line through the legs of Bailey MacBurnie to give the Warriors a 2-0 lead.

The Smokies have been unable to reg-ister a point against West Kelowna this season, going 0-5 with two games remaining against the Warriors at the Cominco Arena Feb. 5 and 6. Trail currently sits three points out of a playoff spot with 11 games to play against di-vision rivals, including a home-and-home with the Penticton Vees this weekend.

The Warriors’ Jake Harrison opened the scoring, joining the rush from the bench and blasting a Brett Mennear feed from the circle just 7:40 into the first period. Mennear then deflected a Harrison point shot to give the Warriors a 3-0 lead.

A bad turnover gave the Smokies life late in the frame, as Harlan Orr beat Matthew Greenfield past the glove hand with 1:19 remaining. The Warriors outshot Trail 18-7 in the first period, giving MacBurnie the rest of the night off in fa-vour of Linden Marshall.

A pair of power-play goals highlighted a fran-tic second period for West Kelowna, as Kylar Hope and Mennear both scored with the man-ad-vantage. Mennear’s sec-ond of the night sparked a three goal in one min-ute and 39 second out-burst for the Warriors.

Nick Rutigliano beat

Marshall from the point, and Kyle Marino got on the sheet just 31 seconds later.

The four goal out-burst came on 13 shots, while Matt Farkas blocked 11 in net for West K, and would cede the crease in the final frame to 16-year-old AP Shane Farkas who plays at Okanagan Hockey

Academy in Penticton.Former Smoke Eater,

Bryan Basilico, scored on the power play just 43 seconds into the third to give the Warriors their final tally, and an 8-1 win.

Trail is in Penticton on Friday, and returns home Saturday to play the Vees at 7:30 p.m. at the Cominco Arena.

MIXED CURLING CHAMPIONS

BY CHELSEA NOVAK Trail Times

The second annual Fatbike Fest will take place during Winter Carnival weekend from Friday to Sunday.

The popularity of fatbiking has increased in Rossland since last year’s festival, accord-ing to Tyler Merringer, owner of Revolution Cycle.

The first fatbike ap-peared in Rossland five years ago, and since then Merringer says the number of fatbike owners has more or less doubled every year.

Fatbikes have the advantage of perform-ing well on challenging terrain, such as sand or snow, giving locals a chance to get out cy-cling in the winter.

“It gives them an al-ternative when the ski-

ing conditions get chal-lenging and then for your hardcore cyclists, it gives them the op-portunity to continue to ride through the win-ter,” says Ian Craib, fes-tival organizer.

This year’s festival will be a chance to see just how many fatbike owners there are in Rossland.

Friday will be a demo day out at Red Mountain Resort from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. where current and would-be fatbike own-ers can test out the latest models available from Revolution Cycle, and Gerick Sports.

Then from 6 to 9 p.m., fatbike riders are invited to participate in the Winter Carnival parade.

“After the demo, we’re going to encour-age all the people that

want [to], to bring their bikes down to the pa-rade like we did last year,” says Craib.

Last year over 20 riders participated. Following the parade, there will also be a night bike ride.

The Fatduro kicks off Saturday at 11 a.m. at Red. Last year saw just under 40 riders partici-pate in the demanding three-stage race.

Sunday’s event is more open to inexpe-

rienced cyclists. The Fatbike Cross Country Race, new this year, starts at 10 a.m. at Redstone Resort.

“[Redstone Resort is] going to be providing some grooming on the perimeter of the golf course and then there’s going to be roughly around a 20 to 30 km,” explains Craib.

The course will be set up for different distanc-es for riders of varying aptitudes.

TODAY’S CROSSWORD

LEISURE

Dear Annie: When I met my husband many years ago, he had just returned from Vietnam. His mind was shaky, and he was a chain smoker and a serious alcoholic. We have maintained a comfort-able, peaceful relationship. I could not tolerate drunkenness, so he stopped. But what seemed left was an unaffectionate, unemotional robot. He has never hugged me, held my hand or actually kissed me (only quickly, during our silent, intimate moments). Compliments? Never. He never bought a ring for me, which not only is embarrassing but also makes me feel as though I have no value to him.

He is kind to the children, pro-vides meagerly but adequately, and makes no waves. We simply exist. I settled for this and it would hurt too many nice people for me to go my own way. But my point in writing to you is to save other women: Think before getting involved with a cold, unfeeling person.

Counseling is out. We never have

a conversation. I truly believe his lifelong chain-smoking has affected his mental and physical health. -- Too Little, Too Late

Dear Too Little: We wouldn’t be so quick to blame the chain-smoking. While it has undoubtedly affected his health, it is more like-ly that his experience in Vietnam (and possibly his upbringing) had a greater impact on his emotional health. Many of those who have served in wars suffer from PTSD and never asked for or received treatment. Your husband could be one of them.

We’re not going to give you a lecture on expecting an unaffec-tionate, robotic man to change once he marries. It’s too late for that. And of course, if you could get your husband to visit a nearby VA to ask about PTSD counseling, that might be tremendously helpful. But you are the one who wrote. We think you deserve better. The fact that

leaving him might cause “nice peo-ple” to be hurt is not a good enough

reason for you to make such a lifelong sacri-fice. Get counseling for yourself, and see what choices you have.

Dear Annie: I am a hunter, and I under-

stand how important each of the very few days available for deer hunting is to a fellow hunter. “Left Out in the Cold” said her husband misses holidays and Mother’s Day because they interfere with hunting season. She didn’t say how far away her husband travels to hunt.

If he is not too far, he could perhaps hunt close to home in the morning and return for Thanksgiving and Christmas din-ner later in the evening after legal hunting hours. However, if he is unable to compromise and insists on missing holidays, then I suggest that she just go to the relatives with-out him and enjoy herself without giving him a second thought.

I have to say, the only time I could justify having Christmas postponed would be if an impor-tant family member were in the service or in the hospital. Sounds to me that “Left Out’s” entire marriage might need some professional in-tervention. -- “Dear” Beats “Deer”

Anytime Dear Anytime: Compromise is

always possible, but only if both parties are agreeable. When one person is not, the other has the choice of changing one’s situation, accepting what cannot be fixed or being perpetually upset.
