Local coach recalls lifetime of inspiring valley youths

You might be impressed when Jan VanTuyl tells you he’s been teaching in the Clark County School District for 40 years, but that pales in comparison to the 60 years he’s been coaching overall.

Both partners have role in sexual courtship in marriage

I have a great marriage. But with one problem. My husband gets all … hurt when I don’t respond to his sexual flirtation. If he texts me something during the day, and I don’t respond, he’s hurt and pouts. If he leaves me a sexy voice mail and I don’t join in, same thing. I tell him that sometimes I’m just not in the mood and my head’s not there. I point out to him the other times I do respond is when I’m feeling sexy, too. I don’t know why he takes this so personally. Is there anything I can do to make him not get hurt just because I’m not in the mood? — D.L., Seattle

Dining pick of the week: Acapulco Mexican Restaurant

All of us have heard of Acapulco, considered by many to be “The” Mexican tourist city. It’s a city of magnificent beaches, nightclubs and restaurants. This small, unobtrusive restaurant named Acapulco isn’t near a magnificent beach, but it sure has magnificent food.
