he World Convulsed” was the banner headline stretching across the top of the front page of the Cranbrook Herald, on Thursday, August 6, 1914. Five weeks earlier, on July 2, 1914, the Herald had printed a short article on page five, reporting the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir apparent to the Austrian throne. It was to be the catalyst that would lead to the war in Europe one month later although few in Cranbrook would have recognized it as such at the time. The region was still in shock and grief, in the aftermath of an explosion in the Hillcrest coal mine near Blairmore, Alberta, which took the lives of 189 men, many of whom were known to the people of Cranbrook. It remains the worst coal mining disaster in Canadian history (Jim Cameron, Janus, June 13,2014). But as the convoluted web of European alliances and mobilization plans of various nations began to inevitably play out, a European crisis began that would push all other headlines of the front pages. Britain declared war on Germany and Austria-Hungary on August 4, meaning that the Dominion of Canada was automatically at war as well. The
Governor General of Canada — Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn — officially declared war on Germany the next day, Wednesday, August 5. It would be another month before Canadian troops arrived in Europe. The war, as expected, began with free maneuvering in Belgium and Northern France, as French and Belgian troops moved to counter the advancing German’s “Schlieffen Plan,” a two-pronged attack through France and Belgium (it was Germany’s violation of Belgium’s neutrality which prompted the British, and thus Canadian, declarations of war). The British Expeditionary Force would arrive in France on August 16. In 1914, the Cranbrook Herald, along with its rival the Cranbrook Prospector, were going through difficult times, made even more so by the advent of the war. J.R. Thompson was the Herald editor at the time. L.P. Sullivan, a long-time employee, would become editor later that year. There was no news, per se, of Canada’s declaration of war, the following day, Thursday, August 6. But Herald staff had compiled a rather comprehensive summary of international events as they were occurring.

Trustees commit to schools opening on Sept. 2 BC school trustees are urging government, teachers to work together so school can start on schedule next month SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
School trustees around the province are urging the government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to work together to reach an agreement. The B.C. School Trustees Association (BCSTA) issued a “Back to School Action Plan”
last week, at the same time as the Ministry of Education announced that parents of students under 13 would receive $40 a day per child to offset childcare costs during the strike. Instead, the trustees urged the government to put all money it had saved as a result of the strike and lock-
out into a Learning Improvement Fund that would support students, student learning, and class size and composition. “Boards of Education are deeply concerned about the impact of the continuing bargaining impasse on students, families, staff, and the reputation of B.C.’s public educa-
tion system,” read the statement. “As the governors of B.C.’s local school districts and employers of staff who make our schools successful, B.C. school trustees know that a balance must be found between the bargaining objectives of the BC Teachers’ Federation and the economic
mandate established by the provincial government. We believe that such a balance can be found.” As well as asking the government to commit its strike savings to a fund for learning, the trustees also put forward two more suggestions, with the goal of having schools start on time in September.
First, the trustee association urged the BCTF to modify the benefit increases teachers are seeking so that the overall compensation package will fall within the range accepted by other public sector unions.

tensive care unit (ICU) and an electrical upgrade for the entire hospital began in May, and is proceeding on schedule, Interior Health said in a statement released Friday, August 1. “The installation of the building substructure is well underway and proceeding on schedule,” reads the statement. “All footings for the new structure are now complete and the base walls are approximately 30 per cent complete. “The majority of underground drainage and sewer connections are also now in place. The basement floor is sched-
uled to be completed in August, and the ground floor and roof structures will be done in the fall.” The $20 million project began in May and will continue until summer 2016. The new ICU will add an 8,500 square foot building to East Kootenay Regional Hospital with six patient rooms. It will be located on the northeast corner of the hospital. The addition will replace the ageing, cramped four-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the hospital. The size and design of the new ICU will provide better flow through the unit for

Campfires now prohibited, as of 1 pm today C A R O LYN G R A N T
Crews in the Southeast Fire Centre have been kept very busy over the August long weekend, as the hot, dry conditions persist. Storms did sweep through the area over Saturday and Sunday, bringing rain to some areas but also accompanied by lightning. With enough to worry about with lightning caused fires, the Southeast Fire Centre will try to put a stop to human-caused fires by
imposing a campfire ban. As of 1 p.m., today, Tuesday, August 5, 2014, campfires are prohibited throughout the Southeast Fire Centre. “With the current trend of warm and dry weather in British Columbia, wildfires have displayed very aggressive behaviour and required additional fire suppression resources. Human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews from responding to nat-
urally occurring wildfires,” says the Fire Centre press release. Prohibited are: • Campfires, as defined in the wildfire regulation. • The burning of any waste, slash or other materials. • Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area. • The use of burning barrels of any size or description. • The use of fireworks, sky lanterns, tiki
torches or outdoor fire pits. The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, so long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. The use of a campfire apparatus that does not meet these specifications is prohibited.

Whitetail Brook Fire
The largest fire in this area remains Whitetail Brook, approximately 10 kilometres east of Canal Flats. As of the Sunday, August 3, the Southeast Fire Centre reports that fire 30 per cent contained, having grown to 975 hectares. The following forest service roads leading to the area are now closed: • The main Whiteswan Forest Service Road from Highway 93/95 junction to the 32-km marker. • The main Kootenay Forest Service Road

A broken ankle and being relegated to a wheelchair wouldn’t stop Gail Mercer from doing her volunteer duties. The Cranbrook woman has been volunteering at the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary for over two years, but recently suffered a broken ankle which put her in a wheelchair while it heals. That wouldn’t stop her from showing up for her shift only two weeks later. “They couldn’t believe it,” Mercer laughed. “I said ‘I’m reporting for duty.’” She volunteers one afternoon per week — on Wednesdays. Mercer had the accident on the evening of June 26, then had surgery the next day. She said she had initially thought it was a sprained ankle and thought it would right itself over night, but when it didn’t the next day she went to the doctor. They diagnosed her with a broken ankle and she had to have surgery almost immediately. “That was our 40th wedding anniversary,” she said. “So I’ll remember that one.” She said the accident happened when she was walking down the hallway and “zigged instead of zagged.” “I went down and that’s it,” she said. She went to the thrift
from the 3-km marker to 34.5-km (WhiteRock Forest Service Road and Kootenay Forest Service Road junction). • The entire WhiteRock Forest Service Road. River users will also not be able to access areas included in this restriction. BC Parks has evacuated Whiteswan Provincial Park and it will be closed until further notice.
$345 fine
Anyone found in violation of a fire prohibition, including campfires, may be is-
sued a ticket for up to $345. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness may be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs. The Southeast Fire Centre covers the area extending from the U.S. border in the south to Mica Dam in the north and from the Okanagan Highlands and Monashee Mountains in the west to the B.C.-Alberta border in the east. This includes the Selkirk and Rocky Mountain resource districts.
PUBLIC NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook, pursuant to Section 94 and 226 of the Community Charter, intends to amend “City of Cranbrook Downtown Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 3746, 2012”. The proposed amendment will replace Schedule ‘B’ Revitalization Tax Exemption Agreement and Schedule ‘C’ Revitalization Tax Exemption Certificate of Bylaw No. 3746 with a revised Schedule B and Schedule C. The revisions to the schedule templates are intended to provided clearer language and reduce the potential for ambiguity. Specifically, the proposed wording will clearly indicate that the tax exemption applies to the municipal portion payable on the amount of the increase in assessed value of the improvements with respect to a Tax Roll year. The reason for the tax exemption bylaw is to encourage revitalization of the downtown core in the City in consideration of the lack of residential uses within the general downtown area that discourages business growth due to a lack of customers. The tax exemption bylaw is intended to assist in achieving the City’s objectives of encouraging new investment in the revitalization area to enhance the economy, bring more residents to live in the downtown and to make the downtown more appealing to both residents and visitors. The objectives for the program enabled by the Bylaw include: • Encourage new commercial investment in the downtown core to enhance the local economy
Gail Mercer at the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary Thrift Store shop for duty on July 16, just after having her cast changed. “They gave me a round table. My right leg was still in the cast, I couldn’t let it down so it was on a brace,” she said. “I did the regular thing. They gave me a table and I had my wheelchair and it was great.” Mercer said her recovery is coming along and she should be back
on her feet in the next few weeks. “I went to the doctor yesterday at the hospital and he said I can start putting some weight on that with a cane, and said ‘I’ll see you again in six weeks.’” The Hospital Auxiliary is always looking for volunteers. “If I can do it, a lot of people can do it too. Just volunteer, it’s well worth the effort.”

‘The World Convulsed’: Part I Continued from page 1 The sub-headlines and short stories stacked in columns on the front page of the August 6 edition, compiled via electric printing telegraph technology, discuss in large measure the stiffer than expected resistance that the Germans came up against in Belgium. • “Belgian troops repulse German invaders (Attacking army meets with withering fire from big guns of frontier fortresses — Mine exploded under train).” • “Prussians nearly annihilated.” • “Defeated Germans Lost Heavily (the Germans, completely repulsed, have been unable to renew their attack on Liege).” • “Belgians Win Sweeping Victory (two entire regiments of Germans said to have been decimated).” The reportage is in the language of the time — nations are referred to as “she,” for instance, and the news of Great Britain declaring war is rather breathless (“… that momentous decision for which the whole world has been waiting!”). And while there is not any overt jingoism, or suggestions that this will be a short war, there are some clues as to the
August 1914: London army volunteers await their pay. The Cranbrook Herald reported that more than 250,000 volunteers had enlisted on August 6, 1914. irony that a new world that no one was expecting was at hand. • “Quarter Million volunteer in London.” “Over one quarter million volunteers were enrolled in London today (Aug. 6). The enrollment was the result of the British War Office
issuing a call to arms for 100,000 men.” The enthusiastic rush to enlist, by young men from all nations, was unprecedented. Patriotism was never on such joyous display. But the early war of free maneuvering, so 19th century, had by the
end of the fall resulted in the infamous trench system and stalemate, and the original British army had been wiped out. The Herald also reported that a mob in Winnipeg stoned the German and Austrian consulates and German
clubs. Also, “a frenzied mob at Vancouver tore down the ensign from the German consulate offices.” And: “The Ottawa government has stated that they will not allow Austrians or Germans to leave Canada.” And: “Canadian
troops, from present indications, will number about 100,000, and will be hurriedly mobilized and sent to England.” (Canada’s expeditionary force eventually totalled 620,000 people mobilized, of which more than 60,000 were killed and 250,000 wounded
B.C. forest fire bills piling up Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. government is spending $3.5 million a day to fight forest fires around the province, with the total for the year past $106 million and headed higher. The government is bracing for bills that could reach $250 million by the end of the summer, depending on weather and the number of fires that threaten homes. B.C. has brought in firefighters from Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick, and issued several evacuation orders by the midpoint of the summer season. Finance Minister Mike de Jong asked for B.C. residents to take all possible precautions and observe campfire bans through August. About 40 per cent of B.C. forest fires are human caused, with most of the rest started by lightning strikes.
— a 39 per cent casualty rate). And: “Mobilization notices have been posted in Cranbrook calling for the report of all naval reservists.” The Herald also published a sidebar showing the naval strength of the “Seven Nations Involved” — Germany, Austria, Italy, Russia, France, Great Britain and Servia (sic), with tables listing super-dreadnaughts, dreadnaughts, other battleships, armored cruisers, cruisers, destroyers, torpedo boats and submarines. Another sidebar shows “How the War Powers figure in the finances of the World.” And the Herald published a piece of several hundred words on its front page, detailing the underlying causes of the war, in particular how it stemmed from Austria-Hungary’s confrontation with Servia. In the coming weeks, the Herald would report how Cranbrook would start sending its own volunteers off to war, that a Kootenay regiment was to be formed, citizens would meet to find ways to equip two companies, and members of the local Rifle Association would step forward. See tomorrow’s Daily Townsman for Part II of “The World Convulsed.”
BC Trustees committed to school on September 2 Continued from page 1
Laura Blackwell/Lakes District News
Fire at Eutsuk Lake in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park consumes forest interspersed with beetle-killed pine trees. Forest fire spending is already approaching totals for the last two years. Highs in the past decade are $382 million in 2009 and $371 million in 2003, when fires dam-
aged Kelowna and Barriere. “The possibility of the fire season consuming a quarter billion tax dollars is real,” de Jong said. “Whilst there is no issue about
spending the money, it has to come from somewhere, so that’s a cost item that’s looking like it will be considerably more than what had been hoped for.”
Second, the trustees asked the government and all education partners to establish a new bargaining and labour relations structure as per the recommendations identified in BCSTA’s October 2013 Bargaining Structure Task Force Report. “There is much work to be done to ensure that the world-class achievement of B.C.’s public education system is sustained and strengthened in the years to come. With our students and the long-term prosperity of our future citizens in mind, we must commit to working together to build a strong public education system that is student-centred, collegial and appropriately funded,” said the association. “We are committed to have our schools open on September 2.”

Teacher talks to resume Aug. 8 What’s Up? To m F l e tc h e r Black Press
Negotiators for school districts and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation are getting together Aug. 8 to seek a settlement in their long-running dispute before school starts up in September. A brief statement from the BCTF announced the resumption of talks Friday afternoon, a day after the B.C. govern-
ment announced a contingency plan to pay strike savings to parents of younger students if the strike keeps schools shut in September. The government saves an estimated $12 million a day when teachers go without paycheques, enough to pay parents $40 per missed school day for each child under 13 in public school. Recreation centres are pre-
paring to extend summer camp and activity programs into the fall. Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced the contingency plan Thursday after several weeks without movement in the long-running dispute that shut schools for the last two weeks of June. Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said the union’s demands are far be-
yond settlements with other public sector unions, particularly on benefit improvements. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association estimates the union’s benefit demands alone represent an additional $225 million a year. Those include increases to preparation time, pregnancy and parental leave, extended health and dental and substitute teacher compensation.
Breaking Barriers
Transportation and Accommodation My name is Raux, and I have a disability. This is the eighth in a weekly series about living with a disability in a community like Cranbrook. Usually we travel away from home, but what do we have to offer visitors in the way of accessibility as a hosting community; what does accessible even mean? Ramps & elevators, a bathroom with grab bars, a walk-in shower with a bench? Depending on your needs this could mean many things... Accommodations: When looking at the accessibility of a room I need enough room for my wheelchair to turn around, a shower that is not only walk-in but level with the bathroom floor and most importantly a bed that is open underneath. I use a Pivot lift that I bring with me, it is uncommon and most loan services don’t have them available, but like other common Hoyer, sling and sit-to-stand lifts it has a long base frame to stabilize the lift and needs to roll underneath the bed. Most hotel beds are now boarded up
underneath so that things won’t fall underneath and get left behind. These boards tend to be fixed and unable to be removed even temporarily—this is the deciding factor for me staying in that establishment. It would be very helpful if even one side was hinged or had a removable panel in the accessible rooms. Though cots and hide-a-beds are open underneath they are very low which can make it difficult getting in and out of the lift, with someone assisting you they could injure their backs if you are much lower than you would be in a bed. Transportation: Did you know Cranbrook has a wheelchair taxi now? Yay! Now I can go for dinner or drinks downtown in the evenings, visit the casino and get to the airport. Our transit system and Handy Dart are good services that I use on a regular basis but they are only available during the day excluding holidays—and weekends for Handy Dart—at appointed times and within city limits. Transit is now crossing the tracks to pro-
vide service along Industrial Rd #2, they are not getting the ridership they expected to from this area and we may run the risk of losing this route if we don’t use it. Greyhound can assign an accessible bus to your travel route if you call ahead to make arrangements. Passenger trains with sleeper cars also offer accessible cabins. Equipment Rental: The Red Cross and other services have equipment available for temporary use; this is helpful for visitors as well. The Red Cross does require a referral from a health care professional to acquire equipment. …I don’t enjoy flying anymore (I prefer road trips) not much has changed with accessible air travel—the doors on every plane are still one size fits all. I have to be transferred (without a lift) into this tiny dolly-chair and hauled up the stairs like a refrigerator and transferred over to my seat. Fortunately this is a temporary discomfort, once I’m back on the ground the exploring can commence! Sincerely, Raux

The Legacy of the First World War “It was not worth even one life,” said Harry Patch shortly before he died in 2009 at the age of 111. He was the last survivor of the 65 million soldiers who fought in the First World War, and by the time he died it was a normal, quite unremarkable thing to say. But he would never have said it in 1914. Very few people thought that war was a bad thing in 1914. LOSING a war could be a bad thing, but the obvious solution to that problem was to be very good at war. Human beings had always fought wars, military values were deeply embedded in our culture, and nobody expected those attitudes to change. And then they did change. The First World War was a human tragedy, of course, but this was when the human race began to question the whole institution of war: how useful it is, but also how inevitable it really is. And the answer to both questions is: not very. There are still a few countries that owe everything to their ability to win wars: Israel comes to mind at once. But most countries, and most people, now see war as a very undesirable last resort. We have the First World War to thank for this great change. The thing most people miss about the First World War is that it was a perfectly normal political event. Ever since the rise of modern centralised states in 16th-century Europe, they had all gone to war with each other in two big alliances at around half-century intervals. The wars were effectively about everything: borders in Europe, trade routes, colonies in Asia, Africa and the Americas. The great powers fought other, littler wars as well, but these big events – the 30
Years’ War, the War of the Spanish Succession, the Seven Years’ War and so on – were like a general audit of their status. Who’s up, and who’s down? Who can expand, and who must yield? It was a perfectly viable system, because the wars mostly involved small professional armies and did not disturb civilian populations much. The casualties were low, and hardly any major player ever crashed out of the system entirely. Naturally enough, most people did not see this system as a problem that had to be solved. It was just anGwynne other fact of life. The only diplomatic difDyer ference in 1914 was that the great powers coordinated their moves better than before. Almost all of them were at war in a few days, where it would have taken months or even a few years in the old days. The armies could move quickly to the frontiers by rail, so now you created your alliances BEFORE the war – and everybody had the telegraph, so the final decisions were made fast. But once the war started, everything was different. The armies were ten times as big as they used to be, because these were now rich industrialised countries that could afford to put most of the adult male population into uniform. That meant that the soldiers getting killed were fathers, brothers, husbands and sons: part of the community, not the wastrels, drunks and men on the run who made up such a large part of the old professional armies. And they were getting killed in unprecedented numbers. The new weapons — machine guns, modern artillery and so on — were very efficient killing machines, and within a month the soldiers had to take shelter in trenches from the “storm of steel”. They spent the rest of the war trying
to break through the trenches, and by the end of it 9 million of them had been killed. THAT is what changed everything. One response to the ordeal, inevitably, was to demonise the other side and define the war as a crusade against evil. That way, at least, the ghastly sacrifice of lives could be seen as necessary and meaningful. But many people saw through the propaganda, and some of them were in high places. The senior politicians and diplomats of 1918, living amid the wreckage of the old world, could see that the old international system was now delivering catastrophe, and had to be changed. So they set out to change it, by creating the League of Nations. They outlawed aggressive war, and invented the concept of “collective security” to enforce the new international rules. They failed, at first, because the legacy of bitterness among the losers in the First World War was so great that a second one came only twenty years later. That one was bigger and worse — but at the end, everybody tried again. They had to. The United Nations was founded in 1945, with slightly more realistic rules than the League of Nations but the same basic goal: to stop wars among the great powers, for those are the wars that kill in the millions. Stopping other wars too would be nice, but first things first — especially now that there are nuclear weapons around. All you can say is that it hasn’t failed yet in its main task: no great power has fought any other one directly for the past 69 years. Ignore the headlines that constantly tell you the world is falling apart. The glass is more than half-full.

Canadian flavour at Rogers Cup S T E PHE N W HYN O Canadian Press
For fans and organizers at the Rogers Cup, Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil picked just about the perfect time to play in the first all-Canadian men’s tennis final. While Raonic and Pospisil were trading serves in Washington, the hype was building up for this week’s masters 1000 event in Toronto. In addition to the big names like Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, the Rogers Cup features a deep field that includes plenty of home-grown talent. “Right now with the way things are going with Canadian tennis, I would expect we would have some really, really good crowds here,’’ 8th-seeded Andy Murray said. The Rogers Cup is the next step on the tour as Canada enjoys a golden age. On the women’s side, Eugenie Bouchard is in Montreal, while Raonic and Pospisil are in the main men’s draw in Toronto along with Frank Dancevic, Peter Polansky and 19-yearold Brayden Schnur, who qualified with a victory Sunday. Because of its spot in the U.S. Open series a month before the Grand Slam, the Rogers Cup has always attracted some of the game’s best. But Karl Hale, who has been tournament director since 2006, knows this is even better because a generation of Canadians has emerged. “We always talked about: ‘Could you imagine if’ and that imagine if is now in Milos, Eugenie, Vasek,’’ Hale said. “It’s amazing to see that actually happen before our eyes. The hype here has been just unbelievable. When I talk to the sales team, they’re talking about Milos and now they’re talking about Vasek, so everybody’s looking forward to watching them this week.’’ Raonic, who beat Pospisil in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4, Sunday to capture the Citi Open, is set to
play his first Rogers Cup match Wednesday night against either Jack Sock or Jurgen Melzer. It was Raonic’s sixth title of his career and more evidence of his rise. Raonic, who goes into the Rogers Cup ranked sixth in the world, got waxed by Federer in the Wimbledon semifinals. And while Raonic impressed with that run, his frustration in not winning showed Federer something. The Rogers Cup represents interesting times in general for men’s tennis. Djokovic goes into the week as the world’s No. 1 player after winning Wimbledon, and the rest of the bracket includes big names like Murray and Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka. Pospisil will even face a serious challenge in his opening match against Richard Gasquet, who Pospisil beat in the semifinals at the Citi Open this weekend. He told fans in Washington that it felt like he was “playing in front of a Canadian crowd,’’ and will get that chance again this week. Raonic said last week in Washington that beyond the top players, men’s tennis is “wideopen.’’ Federer pointed out that the top-tier has remained unchanged for some time, but he thinks some injuries have opened the door for others to step into the void. “Wawrinka winning the Australian Open really gave belief to other guys,’’ Federer said. “But belief, it is not enough. You’ve got to pull through. That’s what I mentioned with the other guys now: It’s nice talking about it, but at the end they’ve got to do it.’’ Defending champion Rafael Nadal withdrew last week, but Djokovic, Murray and Federer have each won this event before. Murray doesn’t put much into having previously won the Rogers Cup because his focus is on this year and what it means in the next month or so.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My mother has always had a rocky relationship with her sister, “Josie,” for many reasons. The final straw came after Josie stole money from my mother seven years ago. They haven’t spoken to each other since. I understand that my aunt hurt my mother badly and what she did was unforgivable. I know Josie doesn’t deserve another chance, but I wish my mother would give her one anyway. Josie has changed her ways over the past seven years and now lives a very stable life. I don’t think she’s the same person. No one in my family (including me) will ever trust Josie because of the things she’s done. But I wish my mother would call her sister and say that she loves and forgives her. My siblings and I have talked to Mom about this, but she always brushes us off. I know this is between the two of them, but they aren’t getting any younger, and they don’t have an eternity to reconcile. I don’t want my mother or Josie to have any regrets. Is there anything we can do? -- Worried Daughter and Niece Dear Daughter: You are kind, forgiving and understanding to want your mother to reconcile with her sister before it’s too late. Unfortunately, until your mother reaches the same conclusion, there is little you can do. You say Josie has changed, but at the same time, you will never trust her. It’s difficult to forgive someone who has repeatedly broken your trust and hurt you, and not all reconciliations are beneficial if the behavior continues. But you can ask your mother what Josie would need to do to get back in her good graces and then see whether Josie is up to the task. Beyond that, please let your mother decide how much pain she is willing to risk to have her sister back in her life. Dear Annie: I read your columns about babies crying in church. I have a different issue. What about parents who completely ignore what their children do in church? Last Sunday, there were two children, a boy and a girl, about 7 or 8, who spent the entire service crawling under the pews, lifting up the kneeler, playing catch, kicking and shoving each other and completely destroying my ability to concentrate on the mass. The parents did absolutely nothing. The father fell asleep, and the mother never looked at her kids, not even when they bumped against her. Right before communion, they started pinching each other and whimpering in pain. By then I couldn’t take it anymore. I told them to knock it off. They stopped and put their heads on their parents’ shoulders. The parents glanced at me with astonishment. Meanwhile, in the row behind me was a single mom with four kids who left twice with the baby for 10 minutes and left the rest of her little kids alone. Parents seem to think that their children have the right to do anything they want whenever they want. Then they wonder why the kids get into trouble. - Fed-Up Grandma in Chicago Dear Grandma: Parents often don’t realize that discipline makes children feel secure and loved. When kids are allowed to run wild, they don’t know what the boundaries are, and they keep pushing until they do. But we also understand that parents of young children can be exhausted. We admire those who are kind enough to engage the children in some quiet activity and give the parents a break. Dear Annie: I never had a weight problem until I was older. When I read about “Concerned Old Man in West Hills” calling his niece “fat,” it reminded me of a T-shirt I once saw. It said, “I may be fat, but you are ugly, and I can diet.” -- Toledo, Ohio Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude to you, our family and friends for the support poured out to us during this very special event.
