Westman.com 204-725-0555 FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 2014 • THE BRANDON SUN OPINION • A9 EDITORIAL Have donors begun to feel the pinch? The year 2013 was a tough one for the United Way of Brandon and District’s annual fundraising campaign. In spite of its ambitious campaign target of $777,777.77, the campaign fell short of that goal by $63,777.77, for a grand total of $714,000. Even more unfortunate, the United Way was unable to meet the previous year’s total of $758,000. Does this mean Brandon and Westman have reached a generosity threshold? We don’t think so. As the Sun reported in November, donations had slumped compared to the same time the previous year, with corporate employee group campaign donations down substantially. CEO Cynamon Mychasiw said funds from corporate employee campaigns — which generally make up a hefty portion of the overall funds raised — had decreased by as much as $80,000 compared to 2012. During the year-end volunteer appreciation luncheon yesterday, where the final tally was unveiled, Jaime Pugh-Clemmensen, the 2013 campaign chair, said the drop in employee group donations took a sizable chunk out of the campaign’s bottom line. The United Way of Brandon and District has had ambitious fundraising goals for a number of years now, and it’s possible that businesses and other donors are starting to feel the pinch. Mychasiw had suggested late last year that the numbers in this particular category have been on a downward trend and point to layoffs and “changes in personal situations.” LETTER TO THE EDITOR And there may well be other reasons for the overall drop in donations — Pugh-Clemmensen suggested that donors may have decided to support other charities in MGEU wants faster response times the community, and internationally for disaster aid.

The Brandon University women’s basketball team didn’t end its five-game home stand the way the Bobcats would have liked on Thursday. The Bobcats struggled in the middle part of their Canada West contest at the Healthy Living Centre, getting shut out in the second quarter and held to four field goals in the third. Brandon rallied for a late charge in the fourth quarter, but couldn’t pull it off and fell 58-54. “It wasn’t until the fourth when we figured it out and started playing harder,” Bobcats head coach Novell Thomas said. “We can’t let it happen, but when offensive woes hurt us or when things struggle at the offensive end, it’s affecting our effort and our demeanour at the defensive end, and we can’t let that happen. The Bobcats (5-10) had a solid first quarter and built a 21-17 lead, but they struggled after that. The team couldn’t get a shot to fall in the second quarter and made only four of its 35 field-goal attempts in the second and third to trail by 15.

It was very much a message of the moment. dating “Lois.” We don’t live together. We both have teenage children and SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A central relationship will improve don’t think living together is a good when you stop worrying about it so much. Worry delivers a bad idea. But, Annie, every morning I ask energy to the subject of your concern. This is a time to let it go. myself: Should I stay or should I go? I am 49 and Lois is 42. We often argue SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Usually, wanting to impress about stupid things. She quickly gets is a setup for disappointment. But right now it’s different.

My brother adds to this dilemma by bringing Mom to some of these FROM TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES family gatherings where my paternal GOREN BRIDGE BY TANNAH HIRSCH aunts ignore her and my cousins ask why she is there. She seems hurt by this. So is Mom still a part of my dad’s family? She has nieces from her second marriage, but she has never included me in those gatherings and I don’t even know them. Are these unknown cousins relatives to me? — Child in the Middle Dear Child: Your mother is related only insofar as the relatives want her to be. If she was “aunt” to your cousins for 15 years, they may still think of her this way. However, it sounds as if they are not interested in being related any longer, in which case, they don’t have to be. The same goes for your stepcousins. Unless you are suddenly interested in getting to know them better, you do not need to consider yourself related. Dear Annie: I’m writing in response to “Heart Full of Joy in Pennsylvania,” who divorced her cheating husband after 35 years and finally found happiness. I’ve been married for 36 years and my husband has lived a secret life the entire time. I’ve known about it, but turned my head and kept up a good front so the children could have a happy childhood. Now the kids are grown and I’ve decided I cannot live the lie anymore. I told the children that their dad has been unfaithful, but I didn’t disclose the details that he has been living “on the down low,” having casual sex with men at public parks and going to swingers clubs. My kids are hurt and feel that their happy childhood was a lie. I often wonder if I am being selfish. After all, the marriage isn’t horrible, but it isn’t a true marriage. My counsellor says the kids will come around eventually and will realize that I am much happier now that I’m out of my dysfunctional marriage. I just want to say that “Heart Full of Joy” has given me hope. Though I’m not interested in finding someone else right now, perhaps there is a man out there who will cherish me, honour me and truly love me. — Tired of Living the Lie B6 • CLASSIFIEDS THE BRANDON SUN • FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 2014
