Ride for Elizabeth promotes trail safety ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff
Last July, Edmund Aunger’s wife Elizabeth was tragically killed when a vehicle hit her while they were cycling a highway portion of the Prince Edward Island Trans Canada Trail.

Edmund said that had they known the trail went on the highway, they never would have started the journey there. Elizabeth had always been safety conscious and a big supporter of the Trans Canada Trail being a safe place to ride, so Edmund is taking
up Elizabeth’s cause and riding across Canada. On Friday, he rode through Cranbrook, stopping to talk about his journey and the inspiration for it in Baker Park. He is riding with relatives and a number of locals joined in for the Cranbrook por-
tion. Edmund said that losing his wife last year was a shock – they were only on the first day of their journey – and that this ride is helping him to heal. The B.C. portion of the trail, mostly on old rail beds, is an amaz-
ing experience, Edmund added. “So much has been invested into this transportation corridor,” he said. “The B.C. government had the insight to buy the Kettle Valley portion.”

As of Monday, July 29, Eric and Michelle Forbes are the new owners of the Kimberley City Bakery, passionate about bringing French-inspired pastries to Kimberley. Forbes was one of Bruno Marti’s apprentices, having lived in Kimberley for some time. He says that he is honoured to take over his teacher’s legacy. Bruno Marti was famous locally for founding the bakery and for his perfect breads and pastries. He is well remembered. “I want people to know that the Swiss flag will always be flying here, because Bruno was from Switzerland, and it will always keep flying as long as I’m here. And as long as I’m here, the French flag will also be flying.” Forbes — a journeyman baker and chef — lived in France for a
while. He is well versed in the art of baking and promises to bring French pastries back to the bakery. “I’ve done my schooling, I’ve done my four years. I’ve worked in restaurants in Lethbridge and in Calgary. I’ve taken my Cordon Bleu in France and I did my apprenticeship here for baking.” Not only is he bringing back some traditional bakery favourites and essentials, but Forbes says he has a lot of surprises up his sleeve. For one, he will be bring in lots of gluten-free and vegan baked goods. Veronica Paauw, the previous owner of the bakery, will be helping the family take on the bakery by tying some loose ends and running errands as a volunteer. The staff of the bakery will all remain on — a number of them worked for Bruno.

New bakery owners Michelle and Eric Forbes with their daughters, baby Elizabeth (Izzy) and Natasha, are passionate about taking the bakery back to when it was in its heyday with Kimberley’s beloved and remembered baker Bruno Marti. “Bruno, when he owned the place, was very good to our family. Sort of as a tribute to him, I want to keep the bakery going. I don’t want to see it decline.” The sale process started in February, Forbes said. “February 14 we
came by here on holiday and we saw the For Sale sign and I looked at my wife and said jokingly, ‘Hey, we should buy the bakery.’ But then on the trip back to Calgary she looked at me and said, ‘You know, we should look into and see what it entails.’”
Although there will be a lot of new elements and changes made, Forbes wanted to clarify that it isn’t about completely renovating everything about the bakery, but about restoring it to its former glory. “I’m not changing things drastically, I’m changing things in terms of taking them where they are at right now and taking them to the next level with better quality of product. Right now I think the quality has diminished. “It’s going to be the same style but with better quality and back to where it was in its heyday. It’s just been slacking and it needs to be brought back. The people that are from here, the actual locals will know it – there used to be really good quality here and I want to bring that quality back. “If people have ideas and stuff that they want to see, I’m all open to suggestions.” The Kimberley City Bakery hours will remain the same - from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays to Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. This week is their first week of being open for business and Forbes said he will be bringing in new specialties daily to see what people think. “This is going to be the hub of the town, I guarantee it.”
Interior Health has admitted that its response to the June floods in Wasa was not up to scratch. In a July 9 letter to Regional District of East Kootenay board chair Rob Gay, Interior Health’s Roger Parsonage, the regional director of health protection, wrote: “Upon initial review of this situation, it is apparent that a significant communication breakdown has occurred between the Regional District of East Kootenay and Interior Health, and that our response has not been adequate to the scale of the event. In addition to making changes prior to flood season next year, I am
Crown jail submissions ‘excessive’, says lawyer Defence lawyers for three Cranbrook men convicted in a plot to kill a Kootenay drug rival asked Friday for sentences half the length of those suggested by the Crown. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley is set to render a sentence on Aug. 16 after hearing final arguments on sentencing for Lonnie Adams, Colin Correia and Lorne Carry. Following a three-month trial this spring, Correia and Carry were convicted of conspiring to murder Doug Mahon as well as weapons offences. Adams was found guilty on the lesser offence of counselling murder. The Crown also proved Correia and Carry conspired to murder to further the aims of a criminal organization. Carry’s lawyer, Jim Heller, noted his client has no criminal record and has not violated conditions of bail he’s been on for two years. “He’s taken that chance to walk a
different walk,” Heller said. Heller argued Carry should be sentenced to six years in jail. Crown lawyer Ann Katrine Saettler argued Thursday for 12 to 14 years. The longest sentence requested by Saettler is 14 to 16 years for Correia, who has a lengthy criminal record and, along with Carry, was convicted of the most serious offences dating from their actions in late 2009 and early 2010. They were arrested after an extensive police sting using a lifelong criminal as an agent to obtain recordings. “The 14 to 16 years range suggested by the Crown, I suggest, is very excessive,” said Correia’s lawyer, Dick Sokol. Sokol said the organization that Carry and Correia were found to operate in Cranbrook is not akin to the Hells Angels or Red Scorpions, calling it a “very loose group that barely meets the threshold for a criminal organization.”

She said that soon after the letter was sent, she met with Interior Health staff at Wasa to talk about well testing and lake quality. “I still have concerns that we had to push so hard in order to secure help from Interior Health,” she added.

Twenty-five properties around Wasa Lake were impacted by flooding after a state of emergency was declared on June 25. Several wells and septic systems were surrounded by water, raising questions about whether well water was safe to drink, and whether the lake was safe to swim in.

But Edmund said he has some grievances with the provincial government, since they still have over 700 kilometres of the Trans Canada Trail to build in the next four years – when Canada’s 150th anniversary celebration will be happening. Trans Canada Trail is committed to providing Canadians with a national network of safe, healthful greenway trails by 2017. He said though that B.C. is still far ahead of Alberta and Saskatchewan in terms of how it looks at the trail. Edmund plans to ride a portion of the trail each summer and finish the journey in 2017 at the spot where his wife was killed in P.E.I. “It will be the fifth anniversary of her death,” Edmund said. After talking about his journey, the group set off for their destination of Kikomun Creek Provincial Park at Koocanusa. Edmund had previously noted that since much of the Kootenay portion of the trail is relatively undeveloped, this is a dangerous part of his journey.

RDEK votes to decommission Fernie to Sparwood trail TAMAR A HYND Fernie Free Press
The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) has decided to decommission The Coal Discovery Trail (CDT). The decision was carried after the RDEK denied a previous motion to postpone the decision at the RDEK meeting on Thursday, Aug 2. It began when Mike Sosnowski, RDEK Area A director started looking at cutting costs over one year ago. The cost of maintaining the trail was approximately $12,000 annually. In conversation with the Fernie Trails Alliance (FTA), Sosnowski concluded the Hosmer to Sparwood trail was not used enough for the RDEK to concern itself with continued maintenance. Sosnowski approached the FTA regarding their interest in maintaining the CDT
“Decommissioning doesn’t mean the trail is going to be taken away or deactivated... The trail will still be there but RDEK Area A constituents will not be paying for the maintenance” Mike Sosnowski and they accepted the section from Fernie to Hosmer. “They’re the trail experts,” said Sosnowski. “I represent my constituents. I don’t think local government should be in the business of trails. We shouldn’t own the trails. Our constituents do not need to pay for the costs or liability of these
trails,” said Sosnowski. While he believes it’s great that recreational trail use is on the rise, he does not believe Area A constituents should be liable for the trails. “If there was a great usage, then sure. But the FTA said nobody uses that trail. So why maintain something nobody is using? We will continue to fund the Coal Discovery Trail until January 31, 2014. If there are any users who would like to take over that section of the trail, we welcome them to do so as the FTA has done with the Fernie to Hosmer section.” “We will assist any other organization who wants to take over (the Hosmer to Sparwood section) by going to local landowners to recognize them as the host,” said Sosnowski. “Decommissioning doesn’t mean the trail is

going to be taken away or be deactivated. It’s a two track non-motorized trail on the power line. The trail will still be there but the RDEK Area A constituents will not be paying for the maintenance. Of course we will still contribute money through a grant process for trail work. But the FTA insurance will cover the liability (for the Fernie to Hosmer section), not the RDEK.” Not everyone on the RDEK supported this
Hi Wendy: I need your help, more like confirmation from you if you think I’m proceeding in the right direction. I met my long-time ex-boyfriend this weekend and he is asking me if I want to go for a coffee this coming week. I have mixed feelings about going out on this coffee date with him. When I was with him I really loved him and he treated me rather shabbily during our relationship. I also feel he did cheat on me when I was with him. I didn’t want to know when I was with him but I do want to know now. I know he was with another woman for a

starting regarding the possibility of linking this trail with the Trans Canada Trail system and Council and staff at the DOS wholeheartedly look forward to our community being linked with 34 million of our fellow Canadians. The Coal Discovery Trail is a 32-kilometer wilderness trail within the RDEK parks and trails inventory as of 2004 as an Electoral Area A park. The DOS has been proud of this inclusion and has par-
ticipated financially to the maintenance. Although the Sparwood to Hosmer portion of the trail requires upgrades, we have enjoyed that connectivity with Fernie. At a time when linkages to trail systems are sought after across our country, it is perplexing that our Elk Valley Coal Discovery Trail is not being supported as other trail linkages are within the RDEK.” The Coal Discovery Trail was opened in September 2004.

I think they are a lost species; how sad for us women that are single. Sometimes a person needs to walk away from an abusive relationship, not because she or he wants them to see what they are missing but for their own self-worth. I hope these last few paragraphs give you a few words of encouragement and some food for thought. Think of how happy you are now and what you really want from a relationship with a man. Then decide if this guy gave you that kind of life when you were with him. If the answer is no, then phone a friend and go out and have a wonderful dinner and a few drinks and some great conversation. Wendy

Opinion/news
I would like to make a few observations concerning your article entitled “Agriculture minister sees local farmers struggles” of August 1, 2013. First, the boundaries of the ALR were not arbitrarily designated — seemingly or otherwise. The designation in the mid1970s of the ALR in a province larger than California, Oregon and Washington states combined was an intensive, carefully considered process involving local governments, public hearing processes and was strongly based upon the Canada Land Inventory agricultural capability ratings. The method of designation was, however, not foolproof. This was due in some cases to poor mapping in parts of B.C. and at times the agricultural capabilities of a single legal parcel varies, making portions of a property capable of contributing to agricultural production and other portions less so. It is because of an awareness of the need to review and refine the ALR boundaries after initial designation that means were built into the legislation, by way of ALR reviews and an owner application process, that provide vehicles to carefully consider adjustments to the ALR. This process has been ongoing. While the ALR has shown a strong degree of stability, the boundaries of the Reserve have undergone considerable refinement. Over 183,600 hectares have been included into the ALR and over 141,300 hectares of land formerly in the Reserve excluded throughout the province. In the Kootenays, while over 1,500 hectares have been included, more than 18,400 hectares of land has been excluded from the Reserve. So the Commission has been, and continues to be, actively involved in making adjustments to the ALR boundar-
ies where it considers appropriate. Minister of Energy and Mines Mr. Bennett agrees that good agricultural land should be protected in the ALR and his thoughts in this regard in fact have been a guiding principal of the Agricultural Land Commission for the past 40 years. Over these years the Commission has developed a strong understanding of the various agricultural communities and landscapes throughout B.C. and considers each, sometimes difficult, decision with considerable care. The article outlines an application involving the subdivision of ALR land for the purpose of building a dwelling. While indicating that the additional dwelling was eventually approved, Mr. Bennett is reported to have indicated that the Commission’s original decision not to allow subdivision, ‘was just plain wrong’. While highlighting Mr. Bennett’s perceived mistake by the Commission, there is no indication in the article that the Commission was afforded an opportunity to respond and explain the reasons for its original decision. By not providing an agency that has been accused of a mistake an opportunity within the same article to respond not only obviates common fairness to the accused but thwarts balanced reporting. Mr. Bennett expresses an opinion that the Agricultural Land Commission does not understand the difficulties of making a living off agriculture. Given that throughout the history of the Agricultural Land Commission (and currently) that the majority of the Commissioners are farmers and ranchers and often leaders in their agricultural communities, the people of B.C. can be assured that the Commissioners are very aware and sensitive to the difficulties of many involved with agriculture. But at the same time the Commission’s mandate
charges it with preserving agricultural land and it is forever mindful of the importance of securing B.C.’s food land resource for the benefit of current and future British Columbians. Barry Smith
Land Reserve Minister Bennett’s criticisms of the Agricultural Land Commission (the ALC) were misplaced (“Agriculture minister sees local farmers’ struggles”, August 1). While he points a finger at the ALC, most of his fingers should point right back at himself. While doing its best, the ALC has been making it clear to government for years that it has been unable to fulfill all aspects of its mandate. It even had to withdraw from a boundary review it was conducting in the East Kootenay in 2008 due to underfunding. I hope the new Minister, Pat Pimm, sees through the veteran Minister’s bluster, and knows that the ALC needs the resources to meet its mandate. Mike and Sharon’s struggles were not really with the ALC, they were with the government, including the fellow sitting on the fence. To learn more about the ALC, I recommend their informative website. Nicholas Simons, MLA Powell River – Sunshine Coast Opposition Portfolio: Ministry of Agriculture
Land Reserve Since B.C. cabinet minister Bill Bennett is “very frustrated with how the Agricultural Land Commission operates,” perhaps he can help add funds for the long-overdue ALR boundary review. Despite cupboard-is-bare funding, commission chair Richard Bullock has managed
to start the process, which is the smart way to catch up. At best, the minister seems unaware that the focus of the boundary review right now is on the Elk Valley in his own riding. The stated purpose is “to refine the ALR boundaries so that they encompass land that is both capable and suitable for agricultural use.” Unlike the needed support, political potshots at the commission hinder the useful process in progress. They also spur ALR-land speculators, putting the cost of farmland out of reach for new farmers around the province. Jim Wright Richmond, B.C.
Cemetery I wish to express my concerns about the condition of the Marysville Cemetery. On June 16, Father’s Day, my sister-in-law, Marlene Shannon, and I went to the cemetery to put flowers on my parents’ grave. They are both well-known citizens of the Kimberley and Marysville area. Upon entering the cemetery, we were horrified to see gophers throughout the cemetery and holes which they had dug all over the cemetery, on some of the graves and on the grass. It was very difficult to witness this and we were disappointed to say the least in how the city is tending to their duties. I did phone the city a few days later and spoke to the city employee about it. His repsonse was that Kimberley was overrun by gophers at Lindsay Park School and Marysville Cemetery and they were unable to keep up with them. Surely there must be a way to control them. I hope that they can find a solution to this problem. Lorna Jackson (nee Shannon) Cranbrook, B.C.
Two boys killed in their sleep by python C ANADIAN PRESS
CAMPBELLTON, N.B. — Two young boys were killed by a python snake as they slept in an apartment above an exotic pet store in northern New Brunswick, the RCMP said Monday. Const. Jullie Rogers-Marsh said the boys, aged five and seven, were visiting the apartment of a friend above Reptile Ocean Inc. in Campbellton when the incident occurred. Rogers-Marsh said police
arrived at the apartment around 6:30 a.m., at which point officers found the two dead boys. “It (the snake) had escaped its enclosure at the store sometime through the night, got into the ventilation system and into the upstairs apartment,’’ said Rogers-Marsh. “It’s believed the two boys were strangled by the snake.’’ She said the snake was later captured and is in the posses-
sion of police. Rogers-Marsh said autopsies were to be performed on the two victims on Tuesday. She couldn’t confirm whether the two boys were related. She said the owner of the reptile store lived in the apartment above. Calls to the pet store were not returned on Monday but deputy mayor Ian Comeau said Reptile Ocean was licensed to operate and “everything was according to our bylaws, to the

provincial guidelines.’’ The deaths of the boys have been “a shock ... it is unbelievable,’’ Comeau said Monday evening. “Some still don’t believe it,’’ said Comeau, who toured the shop with the fire department about two years ago. Firefighters had to “know where these animals were — alligators, crocodiles and snakes,’’ he said. “They were there,’’ he said, adding “I’m not a fan of snakes.’’

Bennett compounded the breach with his colleagues with a legendary media scrum where he denounced Campbell — who’d dumped him from cabinet for writing abusive emails on an earlier occasion — as a controlling bully, who once spat in his face. (“Gob or spray?” asked reporter Dirk Meissner of Canadian Press, in a question for the ages). Even after all that, Bennett stuck with the Liberals. “I could have gone to the B.C. Conservatives or could have got elected as an Independent in my riding,” he assured me. “When Christy Clark was elected (leader), I told her that if she would give me an opportunity, she would not regret it.” Clark proved to be a forgiving leader, leastways with an MLA who’d attacked her predecessor. She’s been less generous with Moira Stilwell, the radiologist MLA for Vancouver-Langara who remains consigned to the most remote corner of the backbench — apparently for voicing one too many criticisms of Clark’s leadership. Still, Bennett’s elevation to the cabinet’s top rank does suggest that Clark is less inclined than was Campbell to keep the mercurial Bennett on a short leash. We’ll see soon enough if the trust was warranted or whether he’s merely at the latest peak in the roller-coaster ride that has been his career in politics.

Local basketball player at nationals Bobbi-Jo Colburn hitting the court for Team B.C. at the women’s U15 national championship TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Though Bobbi-Jo Colburn has grown up in a small town, that hasn’t stopped her from dreaming big. The 15-year-old basketballer has hit the national stage, playing for Team B.C. at the Canadian U15 National Championship on the other side of the country this week. Team B.C. already cruised to their first win in St. Johns, Newfoundland, on Monday, downing Manitoba 6442, with Colburn contributing 11 points towards the win—putting her second in team scoring. “It’s definitely tougher than playing local teams and other club teams, because they are provincial teams and some of them are unbelievably good,” she said. Team B.C. is up against the powerhouse of Ontario on Tuesday, with playoffs kicking off on Wednesday. “We won our first game so far and the experience is just awesome,” said Colburn, speaking from St. Johns after a tournament banquet.

Bobbi-Jo Colburn is representing B.C. at a national U15 basketball tournament in Newfoundland. “Playing for the team is just awesome because we’re representing our province and it’s cool, because I’m from
such a small town and it’s uplifting that smalltown people can go for their dreams.” It’s been a long haul
for Colburn, who has had to make the trek back and forth from Cranbrook to the Lower Mainland to get the op-
portunity to play basketball at a high level. She started playing basketball at the provincial level when she was 12 years old at the U14 level, and now she’s in her third year up at U15. She’s been training out of the Langley Events Centre since June, juggling school and final exams in the process, before shifting over to Riverside Secondary School in Port Coquitlam and moving in with a billet family. She made the roster for the Team Blue provincial squad and was one of 50 invite-only players selected to the Team B.C. camp. The whole experience has involved some sacrifice, which paid off in the end, said Colburn. “Working to get there—you’re in the gym every morning, and then you lift weights after school and go to bed early…you almost have no time for a social life,” said Colburn. “…It’s definitely worth it because you make so many good friends on the team and the coaching is really good, too.”
Rodriguez suspended through 2014 RONALD BLUM Associated Press
NEW YORK - Alex Rodriguez was suspended through 2014 and AllStars Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta and Everth Cabrera were banned 50 games apiece Monday when Major League Baseball disciplined 13 players in a drug case the most sweeping punishment since the Black Sox scandal nearly a century ago. Ryan Braun’s 65game suspension last month and previous punishments bring to 18 the total number of players disciplined for their relationship to Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic in Florida accused of distributing banned performing-enhancing

New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez has been suspended for over 200 MLB games. drugs. The harshest penalty was reserved for Rodriguez, a three-time Most Valuable Player and baseball’s highest-paid
star. His suspension covers 211 games. Rodriguez has until Thursday to appeal, and if he does, he will remain eligible to play until a deci-
sion by the arbitrator. The New York Yankees slugger admitted four years ago that he used performance-enhancing drugs while
with Texas from 2001-03 but has repeatedly denied using them since. Rodriguez was suspended under both the drug agreement and labour contract. MLB said the drug penalty was for “his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone over the course of multiple years.” His penalty under the labour contract was “for attempting to cover up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the office of the commissioner’s investigation.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Canada cruises past Czech Republic 4-0 in Ivan Hlinka Memorial opener
BRECLAV, Czech Republic - Canada’s men’s under-18 team opened the Ivan Hlinka Memorial tournament with a 4-0 victory over the Czech Republic on Monday. Spencer Watson scored on a penalty shot for Canada, which also got goals from Michael Dal Colle, Hayden Fleury and Daniel Audette. Goaltender Julio Billia earned a shutout stopping 13 shots, while Czech goaltender Vitek Vanecek was far busier with 38 saves. Billia was named Canada’s player of the game, but head coach Dale Hunter pointed to defenceman Aaron Ekblad as key to the team’s win. Ekblad, the team’s captain who Hunter calls “a big horse,” finished the game with three assists. Hunter said Ekblad is versatile as both an offensive and defensive blue-liner, and that his locker-room influence is invaluable. “He’s a leader on and off the ice. He’s got a presence about himself,” said Hunter. “He cares about the kids and takes care of them. He’s one of these leaders that talks to them. He doesn’t yell and scream at them. They look up to him and he’s got a presence about himself.” Canadian Press
NHL finalizes sale of Coyotes to new ownership group
NEW YORK - The Phoenix Coyotes’ ownership saga is over. The NHL announced the sale of the team to Canadian-led owners was finalized after it was approved by the board of governors Monday. Once the board of governors voted to approve the sale to Anthony LeBlanc, George Gosbee and Renaissance Sports & Entertainment, that terminated the league’s ownership of the Coyotes. The NHL had owned the team for almost four years. “To our fans and partners in the Valley, thank you for your continued loyalty, commitment and patience for the Coyotes,” Gosbee said in a statement. “The future looks bright for our franchise.” The NHL sold the Coyotes to Renaissance for US$170 million, though there was no certainty about the deal until Glendale, Ariz., completed a lease agreement in early July. “If (the city council) voted it down, this was the end of the road,” LeBlanc said at the time. Instead, the Coyotes have a 15-year lease at Jobing.com Arena. Canadian Press
Woods parlays big lead into 7-shot win at Bridgestone
AKRON, Ohio - Tiger Woods played safe and smart with a big lead, parring 16 holes in an evenpar 70 Sunday to coast to a seven-shot victory at the Bridgestone Invitational for his eighth win at the event - matching the PGA Tour record he shares for victories in a single tournament. After a second-round 61 in which he flirted with 59, Woods ended up at 15-under 265 to easily beat defending champ Keegan Bradley and Henrik Stenson. Woods’ mastery at Firestone Country Club allowed him to again match Sam Snead’s PGA Tour record for wins in an event. Snead won the Greater Greensboro Open eight times. Earlier this year, Woods won at Bay Hill for the eighth time. As if he weren’t already the favourite next week in the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, the lopsided victory reinforced it. No one ever got within six shots all day of the world’s No. 1. Associated Press

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Recently, our beautiful, intelligent, kind, responsible 20-year-old daughter told us she is a lesbian. “Sharon” has been sorting this out alone for the past two years, which breaks my heart. She told us that she has prayed not to be this way, tried dating men and even came up with a plan to move out of the country. Sharon’s father, siblings and I were surprised, but have assured her that we are thankful she told us so she can truly be herself and be happy. We love her just the same. However, Sharon has not told the rest of our family. Other relatives have made it clear that they believe gays and lesbians are disturbed and disgusting individuals who are going to hell. They have, in fact, recently stated these vile opinions to Sharon when she was last visiting. She told me it felt as if she had been punched in the stomach. Ironically, Sharon’s grandparents think the sun rises and sets on her. They have no idea that their divisive, hateful, dehumanizing comments apply to someone they cherish. Sharon loves her grandparents, aunts and uncles and is terrified of how they will respond when they find out. We worry that their rejection will push her back into depression. According to PFLAG, suicide is the leading cause of death among gay and lesbian youth. More than 30 percent of all reported teen suicides each year are committed by gay and lesbian youth. Fifty percent report that their parents reject them due to their sexual orientation, and 26 percent are forced to leave home because of conflicts over their sexual orientation. These are the children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews we love. We will stand with Sharon and pray for the judgmental, ignorant, bigoted souls to find enlightenment on this issue. -- Worried in Wyoming Dear Worried: Thank you for your compassionate understanding. Sharon does not need to come out to her relatives any sooner than she is comfortable, and it helps enormously that you are so supportive. In many instances, families become more accepting when they realize the gay person is someone they know and love. We hope that is how it works out for your family. Dear Annie: My band performs at a lot of wedding receptions. We usually make plans with the family regarding what music they want. We cannot alter our music in the middle of a set just because a guest who has had too much to drink comes up to us with a song request. If the bride and groom took the time to specify the songs they do and don’t want to hear, they probably are not going to be happy if we suddenly start playing “The Chicken Dance.” One other tip: Talking to us while we are in the middle of a song is not a good idea. Please wait until we are on a break. -- Frustrated Bandleader Dear Frustrated: Excellent suggestions, and here’s one from us: Can you please not set the amplifiers to 11? We can hear you just fine without going deaf. Dear Annie: I read the thoughtful letter from “Concerned Grandma,” who is caring for her biracial 4-year-old grandson. Your response left out one of the best role models this child could have: President Barack Obama. Perhaps reading “Dreams from My Father” will give this dear grandmother more insight into the struggles her grandson might face as a fatherless child, as well as hope and inspiration. A photo of our biracial president might be a sweet thing for this little boy to have. In addition, the grandmother might want to seek out someone who can help reinforce and strengthen her as she stands alongside this child in a lifelong learning adventure. -A Daily Reader Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

January 3, 1937 - July 29, 2013 It is with sad hearts the family of John Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly announce his passing on July 29. Dad was born in St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Newfoundland to Charles and Gertrude Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly, he was one of 17 children. When he was 23, he hitchhiked across Canada and ended up in Creston, BC, where he met and married Eileen in 1961. They moved back to Newfoundland for a brief period of time and also lived in various communities throughout Alberta and the Kootenays before ďŹ nally settling down in Cranbrook, BC. Dad leaves behind his beautiful wife of 52 years, Eileen; his sons, Patrick (Sherri) of Edmonton, AB; Dugan; daughters, Shannon, and Bridget (Tim) Fix, all of Cranbrook, BC. He also leaves behind his two remaining siblings Charles (Theresa) in St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Newfoundland and Joan (John) Scott of Denver, Colorado as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Dad loved having his family close and always had a story to tell and loved a good joke. Dad enjoyed gardening, especially his roses, and had a soft spot for all animals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially his beloved Joybell. His strong spirit and big personality was the mark of a true Irishman. He stood up for what he believed in and was very honest and straightforward. He would help those in need and give them the shirt off his back. He was still working on the day of his passing at his job of 38 years. Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faith in his Lord was strong and this is helping his family through this difďŹ cult time. Thank you everyone for your support, we appreciate all your kind thoughts and gestures. At his request there will be no service. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, his family asks that a donation be made to the EKSPCA, Box 2, Cranbrook, BC V1C 4H6.
