The cultures of Cranbrook Learn about different nationalities of residents of Cranbrook at the first ever Cranbrook Multicultural Festival on August 16 SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
An upcoming festival in Cranbrook will give you the chance to experience the cultures of the world without stepping foot on an airplane. The first Cranbrook Multicultural Festival, a free family event, will be held on Saturday, August 16 in Rotary Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. “It’s like experiencing a foreign culture without travelling,” ex-
plained organizer Coco Seitz. There will be 12 cultures represented at the festival: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Filipino, Italian, Dutch, South African, Vietnamese, Ktunaxa, Metis and Canadian. “We are going to celebrate our diversity through three main areas of our cultures,” said Seitz.

Steelworkers call for city support for new campaign ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff BARRY COULTER PHOTO
The popular Summersounds 2014 Music Series continues, as July winds down and the season heads into August. Pictured above are the hard Country rockin’ Bison Brothers, featuring Tim Ross (guitar), Ferdy Belland (bass) and Colin Righton (drums, not pictured) who took the stage at Rotary Park on Saturday, July 26. Hosted by the Cranbrook & District Arts Council in conjunction with the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market, Summersounds continues on Saturday, August 2, with singer/songwriter/roots musician Billy Manzik, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The United Steelworkers sent a letter asking for support for their new campaign regarding a 2004 act meant to hold top management accountable. “There was some leg-
islation in the House of Commons in 2004 after the Westray mining disaster,” Mayor Wayne Stetski said. The Nova Scotia coal mine explosion killed 28 miners in May 9, 1992.

Protect your home while you’re away Summer is open season for vacation break-ins, warns the Better Business Bureau of the East Kootenay
Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
A vacation away from home is a great way to enjoy the summer and spend time with your family while school is out. But when you leave home, you leave behind tell-tale signs that your home is empty that thieves can take advantage of. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) of the East Kootenay is is encouraging homeowners to check-up on security before checking-out on vacation.
“Between booking flights and hotels and packing your belongings, it can be easy to get caught up in the excitement of a vacation,” said Sandra Crozier-McKee, president and CEO of BBB Serving Southern Alberta and East Kootenay. “But it’s crucial to think about not only what you’re taking with you but also what you’re leaving behind.” BBB is warning homeowners to minimize their risk of coming home to a nasty sur-
prise. The bureau recommends travellers keep the following in mind when securing their home: • Don’t announce your vacation to everyone. Using social media to announce your travel plans tells strangers that you will be away from your home, which makes it an easy target for thieves. • Make it look like you’re home. Leave blinds and curtains in their usual position, ar-
range to have your yard maintained, and consider using timed lights to make it appear as though someone is home. • Not using your cheque book, address book, etc.? Leave them at home. They become clutter and if lost during your travels, you become a target for identity theft. Secure personal information in a locked, fire-proof safe and do not share the password. • Stop your mail and newspapers while
First Multicultural festival set for Aug. 16 Continued from page 1 Those three areas are live entertainment, food, and cultural booths. At the cultural booths, Seitz said, “visitors can expect to see arts, artifacts, pictures, and an overall introduction of the culture. “Also, we will have cultural representatives stationed in the booth to introduce their booth and answer any questions and have a conversation about their culture.” Those representatives will wear outfits significant to their culture. What’s more, festivalgoers can buy tradi-
tional food for that culture. “It’s homemade, real authentic food,” explained Seitz. And each culture will perform a traditional dance or music from their country. Between acts, national anthems from each country will play. A children’s tent will give kids the chance to make crafts from each country. For example, Seitz explained, the Chinese group is going to have the Beijing Opera face painting; the Japanese group will make origami, and the Dutch group will make windmills.
Artisan vendors will also sell culturally significant items and items that support multiculturalism. The idea for the festival was born in January, when Seitz first thought about celebrating all of the different cultures represented by Cranbrook’s population. With other enthusiastic board members, the Cranbrook Multicultural Society was registered in February. Then fundraising began in earnest: Columbia Basin Trust, the City of Cranbrook and numerous local businesses have thrown their support behind the festival. “The main focus of
our event is to promote multiculturalism and raise mutual respect,” said Seitz. And it’s not too late to get involved. “This year, we only have 12 cultures, but that doesn’t represent all of the multiculturalism here in Cranbrook,” said Seitz. “We call for more cultural groups to step forward if they are interested. We have the cultural coordinator package ready to go. As long as they are willing to put in some time and work, we can fit more in.” For more information, visit www.cbkmulticulture.org.

Celtic party with Cod Gone Wild For the Townsman
Downtown Kimberley will be partying to the Celtic rhythms of Cod Gone Wild on Saturday night, August 2, as the First Saturday celebration of arts, culture, and heritage draws to a close. This Western Canadian Celtic band will be in concert on the outdoor stage at Centre 64 from 7.30 to 9.30 p.m. and everyone is invited to bring a lawn chair and their dancing shoes and come down to join the party. The Elks Club will be hosting a barbecue for the concert beginning at 5:30 p.m. Cod Gone Wild is a modern Celtic roots, rock band from the Okanagan Valley. Led by Newfoundlander Andrew Mercer on lead vocals & guitar, the band plays a unique western Canadian take on traditional Celtic music with driving rhythms and
tight vocal harmonies. Mercer made his name in Newfoundland with his first band, Ocean Skye, which was nominated for a couple of music awards in his home province. Cod’s drummer is Chad “Rhino” Carter who learned his music in Saudi Arabia and was playing for productions by the age of 10. His experience with heavy alternative rock, jazz, fusion, reggae, and funk brings a unique groove to the band’s Celtic sound. Fiddler Anjuli Otter is a young Okanagan bred, classically trained violinist who has already performed throughout Canada and India as a soloist and orchestra member. She has recorded in many music genres including rock, country, jazz, bluegrass, and Indo Western fusion. She brings a youthful en-
ergy and creativity to Cod Gone Wild. Ray Kawano, bass guitar, is also Lake Country bred. He has played in various country, rock, and jazz bands throughout BC and his solid timing compliments the songs and Celtic rhythms of Cod Gone Wild. At its last appearance in Kimberley Cod Gone Wild drew an enthusiastic response from its audience. The band’s high energy sets feet tapping and its Celtic melodies and rhythms increase the pulse of even the most phlegmatic listener. The concert will be preceded from 5 to 7.30 by a barbeque and the bar will remain open throughout the concert. Admission is by donation with entry gates off Deer Park Avenue and Wallinger Avenue. Don’t miss this party!

“Legislation was intended to hold corporate executives, directors and managers criminally responsible for workplace deaths. They say 10 years later approximately 10,000 Canadians have been killed on the job yet not one corporate executive has faced one day in jail.” Part of the campaign is asking city councils to pass resolutions expressing support for proactive action to protect workers. Coun. Sharon Cross said she was disturbed by that information. “We’ve had a lot of railroad derailments even here in British Columbia, never mind Lac Magantic,” Cross said. “A number of train employees have been killed and I’m sure there are many other examples if one wanted to investigate. I find it rather disturbing that there’s been no action and no criminal accountability.” Coun. Angus Davis said he does have concerns, but also has faith in the industry

side as well. “I certainly have a concern in my heart for things that have not been done because those are disasters,” Davis said. “But at the same time I’ve been involved with the mining industry for lots of years and I’ve seen lots of bad things happen but I’ve seen lots of good executives from the mining industry take part in doing things to overcome some of the problems.” Davis said the USW may be painting everything with one brush, as there are thousands of people in the mining industry. Coun. Diana J. Scott thought council should just receive the correspondence for information, and not make follow up motions. “It’s not really our jurisdiction,” Scott said, noting the paragraph that says it is not an area of municipal responsibility. She also said it’s possible that the reason for no convictions of the executives could have more to do with the courts than an onus of responsibility. Coun. Gerry Warner disagreed. “We are elected officials, we’re community spokesman,” Warner said. “I think I would be willing to second a motion to have one of the union people come here and speak to us about the amount of injuries and deaths that occur in the workplace every year. I believe the logging industry alone is over 30 every year. And see if we can’t improve the situation.” Cross initially made a notice of motion, but then took it back. Warner then put forward a notice that he would be making a motion next meeting on August 18.

The Summer Reading Club has officially launched! Kids of all ages can join this free summer-long program. When they register, they’ll get a reading log and a bookmark to get them started. The reading log is a fun way to keep track of their reading over the summer, and getting stickers to mark their progress is really exciting. Anyone who completes a whole reading log by the end of the summer will get a certificate and a Funny Business medal. Toddlers are also invited to join the Summer Reading Club. Each toddler receives a special reading log, and when guardians, relatives, or babysitters read a book to them, they can fill in a line on their log. They will receive a sticker and stamp for every seven lines that are filled in. We also have a group story time for toddlers this summer every Friday at 11 am. Please note: With August quickly approaching, it is important for kids to know that the last day to hand in reading logs will be Saturday, August 16 at 5 pm. Closing Ceremonies for the Summer Reading Club will be on August 19 and 20 at 1 pm. Kids who have completed a reading log can sign up at the front desk under which day they would like to receive their medal and certificate. There will also be door prizes, pizza, and cake at our Closing Ceremonies. There is still time to register for the Summer Reading Club and complete a reading log! Those over 18 needn’t feel

The dawn of the Short 20th Century
O
B a r ry Co u lt e r
ne hundred years ago this week, what had started as a crisis in a backwater of one of Europe’s tottering empires was transformed into a global upheaval that changed almost every facet of society around the world — after 37 million civilian and military casualties. On Tuesday, July 28, 1914, Austria declared war on Serbia, one month after the assassination of the Austrian Crown Prince, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and his wife Sophie by a Bosnian nationalist, Gavrilo Princip. A complicated system of alliances and mobilization plans was thus activated, and what is now known as the First World War began. Even though the war changed the established order so profoundly that the world before 1914 seems farther back in time than a mere 100 years, we are so closely connected to the second decade of the 20th century — through our grandparents and great-grandparents, by modern history — that it seems like less than 100 years. But after all, a century isn’t just measured by 100 year increments. A century, in the western sense, is also, and more importantly, measured by the
historical chains of events, evolutions and effects it contains. One century can therefore be considered longer than another. By the same token, a century just doesn’t begin on the dot at the Year 00. There is often a fading out and fading in, a type of season between the seasons. Take, for example, the “Long 19th Century,” beginning roughly with the French Revolution in the 1790s, and running through the Napoleonic Wars, the rise of constitutional monarchies and liberal democracies, worldwide European hegemony, imperialism, etc. The 19th century faded into a period of prosperity, relative peace and optimism, known in France as “Fin de Siècle” and in England as the “Edwardian Era.” This is the season between the seasons. The “Short 20th Century” * — violent, disruptive and revolutionary — began 100 years ago this week, when the First World War broke out, and ended in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. And if the Edwardian period was the sleepy anti-climax to the 19th century, then the Clinton years could be considered the pause between the 20th century and the 21st (which began on September 11, 2001).
Here at the Daily Townsman we have the front pages of the Cranbrook Courier, detailing events at home and abroad as they unfolded 100 years ago. We have these pages preserved under glass, for a century, however short it may be, doesn’t treat a newspaper page kindly. The pages discolour quickly, they crumble into dust, they break down when exposed to sunlight. But a newspaper is still remarkably tough as far as news media go. Those Courier pages are one of the few windows into Cranbrook’s history, how the news of the outbreak of war was presented to the community, and how Cranbrook reacted. Starting Tuesday, August 5 — 100 years to the day after Canada officially declared war on Germany, the Townsman will run a special four-part feature on the opening days of the First World War, as reported by the Cranbrook Courier. Stay tuned. * The term “The Short 20th Century” was first proposed by Ivan Berend, of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and defined by British historian Eric Hobsbawm. Hobsbawm also coined the term “The Long 19th Century.”

Curbing the capers of Cranbrook cats
W
A r n e P e t rys h e n
ould you like to see a Cranbrook free from the roaming antics of felines? Are those darn cats digging in the garden again? Have you noticed something with big glowing almond-shaped pupils watching you through the window? If these are the kinds of things that you are encountering, then you may be happy to know that there may be something in the works that would be exactly what you’re looking for. The East Kootenay SPCA is working on a system to manage Cranbrook’s cat population, according to council agenda. “On the matter of cat licensing, the Bylaw Services Manager advises that there is currently an extensive program preparing to launch which will deal with management of the cat population in the city,” city staff notes in the section 8.1 of the council package. “The program is being facilitated through the local branch of the SPCA and more information will be forthcoming to Council in the near future.” Of course the cat licensing would likely not take the form of an all-out cat rein in, but the idea was suggested.
The comments were prompted by discussions two residents’ during a recent Coffee with the Mayor meeting, and brought forward at the July 14 council meeting. Linda Slusarenko and Philip Gladstone are two Cranbrook residents and cat owners who feel the city needs to do more to control the roaming cats in this town. They talked to the mayor about recommendations on cat licensing in the city. “These people are very much cat lovers,” Mayor Wayne Stetski said at the council meeting. “But they think there should be cat licensing in Cranbrook moving ahead.” The residents recommended adding an additional surcharge on top of the license if your cat is allowed outdoors. “Perhaps another $15 on top of your tag,” Stetski said. They also recommended that the Cranbrook vet clinics should be encouraged to volunteer once or twice a year to spay or neuter cats at no cost to owners. Stetski said he asked the two residents whether they would be willing to go so far as to not allow cats outdoors in Cranbrook.
“It’s interesting, they thought that eventually cats could be restricted to indoor/outdoor enclosures, or on a harness and a leash,” he said. Stetski noted that a number of years ago he tried to put his cat on a harness and leash and it didn’t go so well. While a full-on outdoor cat ban is unlikely in Cranbrook, as many see the are benefits of cats remaining outdoors, there is a precedent set by a city on the other side of the country. Oakville, in Southern Ontario, put in a bylaw meant to rein in roaming cats. In 2011 the city changed its animal control bylaw making it a ticket-able offence to allow a cat to roam free, punishable by a fine of $105 and a $30 surcharge. The city is larger than Cranbrook, at over 180,000 people. In Edmonton, all cats and dogs over six months have to have a valid pet licence and tags. In Calgary that is three months. Both places also allow neighbours to trap a pet and bring it to an animal shelter. While cats do sometimes kill birds, they can also cut down on the rodent population, such as mice, which can carry disease.

In defence of younger drivers
A
recent column on the B.C. government’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excited numerous comments from readers. Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world. There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more difficult than what my generation faced. Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner, or as teens prefer “loser”) and “N” (for novice, or in teen-speak “nerd”) have been around since 1998. The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more difficult and expensive process. Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against. First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first attempt. Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46-percent failure rate in 2009 declining to 42 per cent by 2013. The first road test is required to go from “L” to “N” and it seems sufficiently harsh. The failure rate has been consistently
around 47 per cent in the past six years. More practice and another $35 are required to try again. Students fare better on the second road test, where the failure rate has consistently been 21-22 per cent for the past decade. ICBC reports that in the first three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16 per cent. In 2003 the required BC VIEWS learner and novice period were extended, and restricTom tions on the novice stage Fletcher were increased. New driver crashes fell by another 28 per cent. Those restrictions include the number of passengers and a “zero tolerance” for alcohol. Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers in the graduated licence program, only fatalities. They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012. There will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s difficult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient. A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers. One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing seniors hauling around
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
oversized motorhomes, trailers and boats. Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuana-impaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster. B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents. Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last year by Attorney General Suzanne Anton. “Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.” The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions. Next comes self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Local lacrosse team wins provincials TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Cranbrook Outlaws are champions after capturing a gold medal at B.C. lacrosse provincials in Campbell River this past weekend. The Outlaws went undefeated in three round-robin games before heading into the gold-medal game against Cowichan Valley, where they came out with an emphatic 10-1 victory. Outlaws head coach Ron Miles said it was the defence that enabled the team to play
well and win their games. “Our defence was awesome and other teams were finding it really hard to get shots,” Miles said. “In the final game I think the final shots were something like 36-18—we doubled them in shots—but ours were standout shots and theirs weren’t. They had one goal, and the goalie, it went in tucked under his arm, but that was the only goal that got by him.” Conor Sinclair was named the team’s MVP, while Hunter Zawada was named to the All-
Star team. The Outlaws began their quest for gold with a dominant 12-1 victory over a team from Juan de Fuca. Following that, the Cranbrook squad doubled up 8-4 on Cowichan Valley in a scrappy affair. The team captain was tossed after getting a match penalty for intent to injure, which included a threegame suspension. “When we played the Cowichan team, we didn’t play as well as we could’ve,” said Miles. “But it gave us an idea of what we needed to do.”
The Outlaws then rounded out the round-robin with a 11-0 win over the host Campbell River. While the Outlaws won every game with some high scoring efforts, there could’ve been more goals on the scoresheet, according to Miles. “I don’t know if I’ve seen a team that hit the post or the crossbar as much as our team,” he said. The Outlaws, which compete in the Southern Alberta Lacrosse Association, finished the season in fourth place.
Hockey Canada kicks off massive U17 camp DONNA SPENCER Canadian Press
CALGARY - Hockey Canada begins an overhaul of its under-17 men’s program this week by bringing together more than 100 of the country’s best 16-year-olds for a new camp. Along with 54 coaches, equipment managers and medical staff, the nine-day camp in Calgary will be “massive,” according to Scott Salmond, vice-president of hockey operations at Hockey Canada. “You can imagine how many trainers we need,” Salmond said. Ninety-six skaters and a dozen goaltenders from across Canada will descend Tuesday upon the Markin MacPhail Centre, which houses
Hockey Canada’s headquarters, an Olympic-sized rink and three NHL-sized surfaces. The horde will be divided into teams. In addition to playing three games, each player will participate in on-ice skills development and learn national-team systems. Their fitness will be tested, they’ll be fitted for equipment and they’ll participate in seminars on everything from media relations to nutrition. Among the players summoned are Toronto defenceman Jake Chychrun, the first overall pick in this year’s OHL draft by Sarnia. Defenceman Luke Green of Bedford, N.S., was the first player drafted in the QMJHL by Saint John.
Edmonton forward Tyler Benson was chosen first in last year’s WHL draft by Vancouver.
Sixty-six invitees will be chosen to represent their country at the revamped World Under17 Hockey Challenge. The date of the annual tournament held in Canada has been changed as well as the host country’s participation in it. Instead of five teams representing Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, West
and Pacific regions, Canada will enter three teams mixing players from different parts of the country. That means the Canadians will now play in the tournament under the banner of their country, and not their geographical region. “We expect to have a large majority of our players identified at the camp and then go out and scout the remaining few on the bubble once the camp is over and before we name our teams,” head scout Ryan Jankowski said. The World Under-17 Hockey Challenge has traditionally been held in late December during its 22 years, but the event will be Nov. 2-8 in Sarnia, Ont. That date was
changed to allow young hockey players to go home for the December holiday break. For those major junior teams with players away at the world under-20 championships, the younger players on those clubs will get more ice time, Salmond said. Canadians in the Under-17 Challenge have gone on to play for the under-18, under-20, world and Olympic men’s teams. The tournament includes European countries as well as the United States. Ilya Kovalchuk, Rick Nash, Marc-Andre Fleury, Alex Ovechkin, Patrick Kane and Nathan MacKinnon are among the 1,300 NHL draft picks who have participated in it, according to Hockey Canada.
TORONTO - Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard will be the sixth seed at the upcoming Rogers Cup women’s tennis tournament while fellow Canadian Milos Raonic will be seeded seventh in the men’s event. Top-ranked Serena Williams of the United States is the top women’s seed and world No. 1 Novak Djokovic of Serbia is the top men’s seed. The women will play Aug. 1-10 at Uniprix Stadium in Montreal and the men will play Aug. 2-10 at Rexall Centre in Toronto. The seedings follow the official ATP World Tour and WTA rankings released Monday. Each tournament features 15 of the top-16 ranked players. The top eight seeds in each draw will receive first-round byes. Williams won the women’s tournament last year while Spain’s Rafael Nadal beat Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., in the men’s final. Nadal is seeded second this year, ahead of Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland and Czech player Tomas Berdych. The women’s top five is rounded out by Li Na of China, Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland and Russia’s Maria Sharapova. World No. 8 Juan Martin Del Potro has withdrawn due to his ongoing recovery from wrist surgery. Wimbledon semifinalist Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria replaces him as the No. 8 seed and will get a first-round bye. Bouchard, from Westmount, Que., reached her first Wimbledon final earlier this month before losing to Kvitova. Raonic reached the men’s semifinals at the All England Club before falling to Federer, who lost to Djokovic in the final. The Rogers Cup tournament draws will be held Friday. Canadian Press
Lacroix swims to gold at Commonwealth Games
GLASGOW - Audrey Lacroix has won Canada’s third swimming gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. The native of Pont-Rouge, Que., won the women’s 200-metre butterfly with a time of two minutes 7.61 seconds. Aimee Willmott of England was second in 2:08.07 while Australia’s Maddie Groves captured bronze in 2:08.44. The 30-year-old Lacroix won silver in the 200 butterfly four years ago in New Delhi. Lacroix joins fellow Canadian swimmers Ryan Cochrane and Katerine Savard atop the podium at these Games. Meantime, Brittany MacLean won a bronze medal in the women’s 800-metre freestyle Monday. It’s the second medal for the 20-year-old Toronto native, who helped Canada to silver in the 4x200-metre free relay on Saturday. Canadian Press
Judge allows $2B Clippers sale to ex-Microsoft CEO
LOS ANGELES - A judge ruled against Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling on Monday in his attempt to block the $2 billion sale of the Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. In the tentative ruling, Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas sided with Sterling’s estranged wife Shelly Sterling, who burst into tears when the ruling was announced. “I can’t believe it’s over. I feel good,” she said. Shelly Sterling negotiated the sale of the team after the 80-year-old billionaire was banned by the NBA for making offensive remarks about blacks. Associated Press

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 68-year-old woman who has been divorced for more than 30 years. I haven’t been in an intimate relationship for the past 10. Last year, I discovered that I have genital herpes. The doctor said I may have had it for years before experiencing symptoms. I was devastated. When I have an outbreak, I take medication that shortens the discomfort, and I decided not to have intimate contact anymore. I’m quite busy with my retirement lifestyle and very content. Here’s the problem: Through a friend, I recently met an interesting man my age. I don’t want to tell him about my personal medical history, but I also don’t want him to think I’m a prude. We went out casually once, and he has called since, but I have put him off. I can’t decide whether I should see him again and whether I should tell him I have an STD and let him decide whether he wants a “friend without benefits.” What do you suggest? -- K. Dear K.: It seems a shame to end your sex life because you fear transmitting an STD. There are ways to avoid that. And your future partner may be more understanding than you realize. Please contact the American Sexual Health Association (ashasexualhealth.org) for information on all STDs, including herpes, and for support in communicating with potential partners. Dear Annie: How do you tell a doctor that his office is dirty? My physician’s office is full of dust, cobwebs, smudged fingerprints and dirty sinks. It looks as if it hasn’t been cleaned in years. He is a good doctor and has helped me many times, but I can hardly walk into that office without gagging. What should I do? -Love the Doc, Not His Office Dear Love the Doc: You have to tell him. All of that dirt means that equipment that needs to be sterile isn’t, and who knows what germs you are breathing in during an exam? This puts your health at risk. Also, how many patients has he lost because of the condition of his office? And if your doctor cannot see the dirt surrounding him, he may have a vision problem that needs correcting, although it’s more likely he either doesn’t have a cleaning staff or they don’t do a good job. Does your doctor have an assistant or receptionist? Direct your complaint to that person. If there is no one else in his office, please have the courage to speak up during your next visit. Tell the doctor that his office could use a good cleaning, and suggest that his current cleaning service be replaced. If things don’t change, report him to your local health department. Dear Annie: My daughter had the same experience as the son of “Upset Dad.” In seven years on the softball teams in middle and high school, she never missed a practice. Yet I can count on one hand the number of times that she played more than one inning in a game. Most of the time, she sat on the bench, while kids who habitually missed practice got to play all the time. My daughter loved softball so much that she begged me not to say anything to the coach, and I respected her wishes until the day after her graduation, when I penned a polite but critical letter to the coach, athletic director and superintendent. Not one of them had the courtesy to reply. I’m a teacher. The field is a coach’s classroom. If I refused to call on students who came to class prepared, raised their hands and wanted to participate, I certainly would be dismissed. In school sports, all students who attend practices regularly, follow team rules and want to play should have an equal opportunity to do so. -- English Teacher and One-Time Sports Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries KREISSL, Werner It is with deepest regret that we announce the passing of Werner Kreissl of Kimberley, BC February 14, 1932 - July 24, 2014
Werner was my lover, my friend, and my caring husband and I loved him dearly. We had a happy life and lots of adventures together. My Werner liked fishing a great deal and we went on many memorable camping trips. He worked as lead-hand Heavy Duty Mechanic Supervisor at Cominco Sullivan Mines for 15 years. He loved his job and formed strong friendships with fellow workers. A very good and fair man, he was respected by many and shall be missed by all. He will always be remembered dearly by his wife Edith, his stepson Vaughn, his daughter-in-law Sarah and his two grandchildren Arlo and Izen. He also leaves behind many dear friends and close neighbours whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendship and support over the past years has meant so very much. Memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association. We love you Daddy and we will always think of you and never forget you.
Carolyn Ann Shrubsall â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrubbieâ&#x20AC;? 1943 - 2014 Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sensible and caring ways helped her pass very peacefully on Tuesday, July 22, 2014 at 70 years of age, at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital with family and friends at her side. Carolyn was a wonderful lady and anyone who knew her will never forget her as she cared for everyone. Carolyn was born on October 14, 1943 in Virden, Manitoba and raised on the family farm in Pipestone, Manitoba. She attended school in Manitoba and in April of 1966 moved to Calgary with Anglo Oil for work where she met Allan, her wonderful husband. They were married in Reston, MB in October 1968. In 1976 they moved to Cranbrook to raise their family. Carolyn was very involved in summer and winter sports. She very much enjoyed curling, golfing and skiing. She spent many hours with her children while they played in minor hockey and then with the Cranbrook Colts. She also loved live sports and TV sports. She was an avid member of the Cranbrook Golf Club and served on the Board Of Directors. Carolyn was a dedicated wife and mother and an excellent cook. We will all remember her remarkable meals and wonderful generosity. Carolyn was predeceased by her husband Allan â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shrubâ&#x20AC;? in 1995, her father Frank in 1995 and her mother Annie in 1974. She leaves to mourn her passing her two sons: Craig (Kimberly) and children Tyra and Hunter; and Wayne (Holly Ellis) and daughter Karli; her very close friends Eileen LePage and Doug and Darlene Racher as well as many other close friends.
Investing in community for good and forever. 250.426.1119 www.cranbrookcf.ca
A Celebration Of Carolynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life will be held at a later date at the Cranbrook Golf Club. In lieu of flowers, donations in her honour can be made to the: East Kootenay S.P.C.A., PO Box 2, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 4H6.
In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.

recognized only 38 per cent of the cases identified by the experts, noting the discrepancies “are due to different criteria used for evaluations.’’ Judy Da Silva, a Grassy Narrows member and activist, said people are being turned away by the board and forced to file appeals, only to remain unsuccessful. “Everyone should have gotten automatic compensation forever,’’ she said. “For us to go and beg for pennies is ridiculous.’’ The band is calling for the government to formally apologize for allowing its people to suffer from mercury poisoning and step up compensation and care. It also wants the government to clean up the water and block clearcutting projects that could exacerbate the situation.

OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada is making a molehill out of a mountain. The central bank had claimed that its new plastic $10 bank notes included an image of majestic Mount Edith Cavell, a prominent peak in the Canadian Rockies south of Jasper, Alta. But a sharp-eyed professor in Toronto, who had hiked the mountain with his family, thought something was amiss when the image matched neither his memory nor his photos. Hitesh Doshi contacted the Bank of Canada by email last November, shortly after the new $10 notes were released, to say something was amiss. He kept getting the runaround until last week. That’s when the cen-

tral bank quietly changed its website, removing Mount Edith Cavell and several other peaks from its official description of the back of the $10 bank note, replacing them with some other peaks. It also sent Doshi a short email, finally acknowledging the error. “One of the memorable things for me in Alberta was visiting (Mount) Edith Cavell,’’ he said of a visit with his family. “To us, it was a very memorable trip.’’ But when he later examined the $10 bank note, “the peak was not there,’’ said Doshi, a professor of architecture at Ryerson University and a new Canadian. Doshi contacted a mountaineer based in Edmonton, Eric Coulthard, who noticed some other discrepancies in the images of peaks on the bank note. For one, there was a misidentified image of Mount Zengel, which the bank claimed was the Palisade and Pyramid mountains. Eight months after Doshi’s original inquiries, the Bank of Canada finally removed Mount Edith Cavell and Mount Marmot from its website description of the upper left image of the mountains, saying they’re actually Lectern Peak and Aquila Mountain. Mount Zengel is also properly identified, along with some other changes. “I can confirm that we changed the description of the $10,’’ bank spokesman Alexandre Deslongchamps said Monday. “Image research was undertaken during the development of the polymer (plastic bank note) series. The documentation error was the result of a misunderstanding about information provided to the Bank of Canada by Canadian Bank Note Co. Ltd.’’ Added Deslongchamps: “The bank has consulted several subject matter experts to ensure that we now have an accurate identification of the mountains in our documentation for the $10 note.’’
