ELECTION 2014
The men who would be mayor Candidates for Cranbrook first magistrate face Chamber of Commerce forum T R E VO R CR AWL EY Townsman Staff
If it’s one thing that’s been apparent in Cranbrook’s municipal election, it’s the buzz surrounding spending, the state of infrastructure and economic development. And for good measure. The three candidates running for the mayoral seat had a chance to make their case to the business community at a chamber of commerce luncheon on Wednesday at the Heritage Inn. Of course, the questions delivered by moderator David Walls, president and CEO of the College of the Rockies, focused on issues close to the heart of the business community, such as taxation and
growing the economy. Lee Pratt, Wayne Stetski and John York were on hand to answer prepared and unprepared questions during the one-hour forum. In political debates, observers always love to figure out who won, who delivered a knockout blow or who appeared the most statesmanlike. This debate didn’t have any straight-up winners, but all three had their jabs and were able to make their points pertaining to the issues. In a roomful of local businessmen, including current and former mayors and city councillors, Pratt, Stetski and York made introductory statements to the crowd.
Pratt leaned on his 45 years of business experience in his opening statement, telling the crowd that he understands the challenges facing businesses today. He charged that a lack of cooperation exists between the engineering, planning and bylaw departments at city hall. He voiced his support for downtown revitalization and the tax benefits in place for businesses that do storefront renovations. Pratt also wants to explore a three to five year tax freeze for new and existing businesses, if elected. Stetski, the mayoral incumbent, touted the last three years of his time in office, noting how the city has worked
with residents and businesses to make sidewalks accessible, create a new multicultural festival and bring in new performances to Western Financial Place. Stetski noted that economic activity is up across the board, as business licences are up 14 per cent, real estate sales are up 34 per cent and airport usage is up 10 per cent. He also listed how the city has implemented recommendations on a barriers to business report based on feedback from chamber members and added that new industry, in the form of solar energy, is setting up out at the spray irrigation field next year.

Mayoral candidates face Chamber forum Continued from page 1 John York started off with a anecdote about business, noting that businesses don’t have to have elaborate stores to be successful. York said Cranbrook is facing millions of dollars in debt and will exercise fiscal restraint with taxpayer dollars. He also added that city forms should be simplified so that they could be understood by laypersons. Following their opening statements, each candidate was given the chance to answer a prepared question about the city’s role in economic development and what initiatives each candidate would implement to encourage economic growth. Stetski led the segment off, noting that the city sets the table for businesses to come to Cranbrook. He touched on the new industry of solar energy and wants to brand Cranbrook as the entertainment capital of the East Kootenay and
take advantage of Western Financial Place, the Key City Theatre and Studio Stage Door. Stetski noted the opportunities for tourism, and wants to do more to market that to the rest of the world. Pratt notes that there are six major mines that outsource a lot of product and he wants the city’s economic development department to liaise with them try and get their suppliers to relocate to Cranbrook. He notes that the city should do more to lure people who work in the mines and the oil sands and live in Calgary or Edmonton to relocate to Cranbrook. York wants to make it easier on small business startups, noting that concessions should be made to accommodate that, such as cheaper business licences. Walls posed an interesting question about how some taxpaying citizens live outside city limits, but op-

Both Pratt and York said yes, while Stetski noted that such an issue is under provincial jurisdiction and needs to be resolved at that level first. If a business is in the owner’s name, the owner can vote, but if it is a numbered company, they cannot. Each candidate had the chance to pose a
question of their own, to be answered by their two counterparts. York queried Stetski and Pratt on their reaction to the 2008 world financial crisis and how it will affect the city next year. Stetski asked his fellow candidates about their volunteerism in the community, while Pratt wanted to hear from Stetski and York about their plans for a 20.75 per cent tax increase in the current
five-year financial plan. In the closing statements, York touted his work getting better ballot security and adding the fluoride referendum to the election. Stetski noted City Hall is a place for open, transparent and respectful debate, and added that his door is always open for discussions with local citizens. He touched on the pothole issue, and said that a minimum of $3
million a year is being devoted to the roads budget. He also touted addressing and breaking down challenges with the business community and wants to ensure there are service lots available to new businesses that wish set up in the city. Pratt closed by noting that the city needs strong leadership and a proper economic development strategy. Re-

lationships matter, especially between the mayor and the real estate industry, as potential families that want to relocate to the city usually make their first contact with real estate agencies. He also leaned on his personal business experience and ownership, adding that he identifies with the challenges and issues facing the Chamber of Commerce community.
Retiring councillors look back on terms
Arne Petryshen
For three city councillors not running in the Nov. 15 municipal election, it was an emotional farewell meeting on Monday at the City
of Cranbrook council chambers. Councillors Bob Whetham, Denise Pallesen and Angus Davis sat in their last public meeting before the election. The three
Auto park planned for Theatre Road Continued from page 1 Cross said she was fine with the application, as the applicants are aware that they may have to reapply. Coun. Denise Pallesen said she didn’t have a problem with the application. “I don’t think we can stop progression of our city moving forward simply because we might have an empty lot,” Pallesen said. Coun. Davis also noted that back when the city was trying to find a location for the municipal waste facility, the 22nd Ave. North location was chosen because it was out of the way. “Now it’s going to be the crowning jewel of all this economic development,” he said. “I’m sure we’re going to have to look at something to have that transfer station relocated to a place where it’s not going to be the centrepiece of whatever’s happening.” The application was approved, with Warner voting against it.
other councillors, Gerry Warner, Diana J. Scott and Sharon Cross, as well as Mayor Wayne Stetski, are running for re-election. Coun. Bob Whetham thanked city administration for all of its expertise, the supporters who’ve stood by him for his six year tenure, the mayor for his vision and leadership and to fellow councillors for their insights and thoughts. “I’ve sincerely enjoyed the experience of working with all of you,” Whetham said. “On the other hand I can’t deny that I really appreciated sitting in the audience last Wednesday at the all-candidates forum, rather than in the hot seat.” “So best wishes to all of you who put your names forward in the upcoming election, I’ll be watching on Nov. 15 to see what the results are with interest, but whatever unfolds, I’m
sure the city we call home will continue it be served by dedicated people with the best interest of its citizens at heart.”
“It’s been the best 12 years I could of ever dreamed as a person coming down here and getting involved in the community.” Angus Davis Coun. Denise Pallesen said she’s learned so much over her past two terms. “It’s been an amazing journey and I’ve learned so much from our staff and fellow councillors,” she said. “You can’t share as much as you’ve learned, because it’s a mountain of information. The budgeting process alone, my gosh, I had no idea. Anyone out there that thinks it’s easy
to find more money for our roads or infrastructure, good luck. It’s not an easy thing to do. You don’t think of all the little things that cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Coun. Angus Davis started by thanking the citizens of Cranbrook for providing him the opportunity to be a councillor for the past 12 years. “It’s been the best 12 years I could of ever dreamed as a person coming down here and getting involved in the community,” he said. Davis noted that local government first became a part of his life in 1964 when he and his wife Arline left the Jersey Mine in Salmo to Fraser Lake west of Prince George, then returned to the “That was out home for the next 20-something years and it was a good community,” Davis also thanked
his wife Arline. “If it wasn’t for that lady over there and some good people who had other people’s welfare at heart, who were able to point Angus Davis in the right direction which allowed him to grab on to life and become useful — I hope useful — citizen in the community,” he said. “Without Arline that never would have happened.” Coun. Gerry Warner hopes that the great turnout at the all-candidates forum means a great turnout on voting day. “If it does we can say democracy is alive and well in Cranbrook,” Warner said. Coun. Diana J. Scott thanked JCI Kootenay for putting on the forum. “I think the citizens have their work cut out for them, 16 great candidates to chose from, that’s a lot of people to wade through,” Scott
said, adding that everyone should read up on the fluoride referendum question. Scott thanked everyone and said she’s enjoyed her six years on council. Coun. Sharon Cross thanked her fellow councillors. Mayor Wayne Stetski said for the last three years councillors at the table have represented the constituents very well. “What you want in council is to have diversity, you want people to have different interests and are to speak to those interests because that’s what makes better decisions making in the end,” Stetski said. “I said right from the beginning that this council, because of its diversity, was going to be a strong council and would be able to represent the citizens of Cranbrook well. So I want to thank all of you for that.”

SunMine on track for January completion C A R O LYN G R A N T
Construction on Kimberley’s unique SunMine project, the largest solar farm in western Canada, is proceeding on pace. According to the latest project update, last week the Prime Contractor Conergy Canada and construction manager SkyFire Energy completed the installation of all 4,032 photovoltaic modules. Modules are now arranged in ninety six 38 foot by 20 foot tables and have been mounted on masts topped with a specialized tracking system that will rotate to track the sun. There are 42 photovoltaic modules per table top. Once the installation and commissioning is complete the table tops in the picture (right) will tilt at similar angles to maximize solar exposure and en-

The trackers’ sensors also feature load sensing capabilities and will increase the tilt angle to dump snow as
needed and adjust the tilt angle to reduce windload. Performance will be digitally monitored by a data acquisi-

Bolivian sweaters for the world What’s Up? Annual Minkha sale coming up Nov. 15 at Anglican Church Hall in Cranbrook
Tre vor Cr awley
Winter is coming, and that means it’s time to break out the sweaters to keep away the cold. If you don’t have any good ones, then there is a chance to pick some up at a sale at the Anglican Church Hall on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. These aren’t any ordinary sweaters though. Ann Beurskens, a local Cranbrookian, has been organizing the sale for over 10 years in Cranbrook, ordering in Minkha sweaters from the South American country of Bolivia. These are hand-made knitted sweaters made by Bolivian women in Cochabamba as a way to provide income for their families. It all started with Kathleen Gleeson, a woman from Calgary, who received a $5,000 grant from Save the Children Canada to set up an co-op where the Bolivian women could knit their sweaters and sell them jn North American markets. “We sell them and then all

The sweaters are made from Alpaca wool and Pina cotton, and take about two weeks to produce. “They get together to finish the sweaters off,” said Beurskens. “No sweater gets here without having quality control. “A women will knit part of the sweater, then she brings it to the office where other
Infrastructure woes
Seven years ago at the Environmental Appeals Board Hearing evidence was given that the City of Cranbrook infrastructure had been neglected for many years and that it would take several years to update. The pothole streets didn’t start when Mayor Stetski took office, they started many years before. As the Mayor pointed out at the Candidates Forum measures have been put in place to repair our streets and roads. You can look up your street on line at City of Cranbrook site to see when it has been scheduled for repair. There is only so much money for repairs without raising our taxes, it’s going to take time. Some individuals would like you to believe that Mayor Stetski created the potholes and economy problems. Let’s get it straight, the issues the City is experiencing started years before Wayne Stetski and the new Council Members took office. At the Candidates Forum I was hoping that Mr. Pratt had more to offer. From what I can see he will be faced with the same burdens as Mayor Stetski. CLC [Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook], I thank you for being present at all the council meetings, for doing your homework and having the facts straight, for exposing wrong doings and being an excellent watch dog for our City. You can’t build a house without a proper foundation, you can’t build a city without a proper infrastructure! With a good
women put it together and make sure that everything is just right. They wash the sweaters and steam iron them and they look really well finished when they come in. “…For that work, she gets about $50.” All proceeds from the sales of sweaters go back to the women in the form of wages or overhead costs to pay for materials and rent for a small office. The wages for the women
make a real positive impact in their lives, added Beurskens. “I’ve personally been in Bolivia a couple of times and I’ve personally seen what it’s done for these women,” she said. “They have been able to send their children to school, give them a good education. Some of the children and grandchildren have university education and are doing a lot better than their parents and grandparents.”

Kimberley-Concordia
The Kimberley-Concordia has been steaming through the troubled waters of sustainability since the Sullivan Mine closed in 2001. Although the voyage has been relatively uneventful until Captain McRae assumed the helm in November, 2011, conditions on the ship have been deteriorating at a rapid pace since then. All the safety factors that were put in place are quickly being depleted and the dedication to maintenance of the ship’s safety and longevity does not seem to be a priority anymore. The good ship Kimberley-Concordia is heading for the rocks and the Captain’s down in his bunk having what he thinks is a well earned nap. If the ship hits the rocks there will be some survivors. They will be those that can afford to get out before the ship goes down. There will also be casualties: those of us who are on pensions or low fixed income who cannot afford to get off the ship in time. The Captain, of course will be

standing on shore safe and sound, shaking his head and saying; I don’t know what happened, I was sleeping. But wait! There is hope on the horizon. There is a new Captain that can take the helm. It will be a difficult task to turn the ship around and avoid ending up on the rocks, but due to his business experience and determination to return the ship to a seaworthy condition, I believe we can avoid an eminent disaster.

I would like to bring to your attention a new ruling from Interior Health. They will no longer be making house calls. So what happened to the name “home care?” It was put in place so seniors could stay in their homes longer. I needed a dressing changed twice a week. Now I have to get the bus to get my dressing changed. The bus ride is very hard on my back. So I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I am sure there are people out there who are worse off than me. Mary Scanland Cranbrook

Angela Merkel’s counter-strike
“W
hat we have today is a story based on speculation about what (German Chancellor) Angela Merkel might have said about something (British Prime Minster) David Cameron might say in the future,” said David Davis, a prominent Conservative member of parliament, in London on Sunday. So no big deal, then? It’s a very big deal: Merkel is pulling the rug out from under Cameron. For all his tough talk about renegotiating the terms of Britain’s membership in the European Union, she is saying, he has no cards in his hand. At the EU summit on 25 October, Cameron said that changing the existing rules that guarantee freedom of movement for workers within the EU would be “at the very heart of my renegotiation strategy for Europe.” No, said Angela Merkel, it won’t work: “We have the basic principle of free movement. We won’t meddle with that.” In other words, if Cameron doesn’t like the membership rules, tough. He can hold a referendum if he wants, and leave the EU if he wins. But there’s no way he can get the other 27 members to change the basic rules of the organisation just to solve his little political problem at home. In fact, Merkel will even try to ensure that Cameron loses next year’s British election so that there is no referendum on Britain’s EU membership. Being an experienced politician, however, Merkel delivered that part of her message in a deniable way. It was officials from Merkel’s own office and the German foreign ministry who briefed the newsmagazine Der Spiegel on her plans in that regard. They were not to be quoted by name – and it was left to the rest of us to figure out what her words would do to Cameron’s re-election chances.
Cameron has recently been talking about imposing “quotas” on low-skilled people from other EU countries moving to Britain, in a desperate attempt to get around the EU rules. “Should Cameron persist (in this quota plan), Chancellor Angela Merkel would abandon her efforts to keep Britain in the EU,” Merkel’s officials told Der Spiegel. “With that a point of no return would be reached.” Shape up or ship out. Merkel has launched a Gwynne counter-strike that may well bring Cameron down. Dyer By making it crystal clear that his “renegotiation” strategy cannot work, she is effectively telling British voters that if they re-elect Cameron’s Conservatives in the election that is due next May, they will be voting to leave the EU. The election itself becomes a referendum on EU membership – a referendum which she obviously thinks Cameron will lose. She is probably right. For all the fulmination in the British right-wing press about the country being overrun by immigrants from poorer EU countries, public support for EU membership in Britain is higher than it has been since 1991. It is still only a modest 56 percent, but that is a lot higher than the 44 percent support that the same Ipsos MORI polling organisation found only two years ago. The truth is that only 13 percent of Britain’s population is “foreign-born”, exactly the same as the immigrant share in the population of the United States or Germany. The immigrants are not taking British jobs: the UK has one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe. The problem is perceptions – and particularly the perceptions of those who normally vote Conservative. The right-wing media in Britain, as in most countries, pander to the nationalism and the fear of foreigners that is rampant
among the older and the poorer sections of the population. Too many foreigners coming in, living off our taxes and stealing our jobs is a simple (though rarely an accurate) explanation for why this section of the population feels marginalised, so this narrative works well with them. Britain is pulling in more EU workers than usual because its economy is doing relatively better than Germany, France, Spain, etc. The numbers are not overwhelming, but under EU rules Britain has no right to bar them, so anti-EU nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiment have grown into a stronger force than usual – but only on the right. This would normally be to the advantage of the Conservative Party, whose own right-wing “backwoodsmen” share these views. In normal times, when the grownups are in charge, the party harvests these votes each election while never intending to do anything so foolish economically as to actually quit the EU. Cameron belongs to the grown-up majority in the Conservative Party, and is not personally anti-EU. But the emergence and explosive growth of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), specifically tailored to appeal to the anti-immigrant-and-EU vote, has panicked the right wing of the Conservative Party. Cameron has had to move further and further right to placate them and compete with UKIP, so he can no longer afford to be sensible about the EU. Merkel has understood this, and has effectively written him off even though she is a conservative herself. Her strategy now is to force Cameron into an openly anti-EU stance, split the right-wing vote in Britain evenly between the Conservatives and UKIP, and open the way for Labour to win the election. Because that’s the only way she can see to keep Britain in the European Union. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

Zoomin’ Zambonis
EKC Zamboni Time Trials ready to heat up the ice in support of local charities Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The EKC Zamboni Ice Time Trials are coming to Western Financial Place. Beginning Nov. 7 when the Kootenay Ice host the Edmonton Oil Kings, East Kootenay Community Credit Union (EKC) has partnered with the Kootenay Ice in order to find the most skilled Zamboni driver in the East Kootenay. “EKC is a very valued partner of ours. Them coming together with us to put on this kind of event is a really unique and interesting idea,” said Chris Wahl, Kootenay Ice director of sales and public relations, Tuesday afternoon. “Hopefully it’s something the fans enjoy, too. “I think the most important part of it is there’s charity involved. Anytime you can involve charities and give back a little bit, it’s a great thing.” Zamboni drivers will be tasked with navigating an obstacle course on the ice during the
first and second intermissions in head-tohead time trial competition Friday night. Time penalties will be issued for driver error. “We’ve got four charities on board that are going to be there on game night [Nov. 7],” said Jane Davies, marketing consultant for
EKC, Tuesday afternoon. “If nothing else, they’re just going to be there to give exposure to their charity and what’s going on in their world. “We’ve got different needs in each community and some very similar.” Each driver will be racing on behalf of a local community group. The winning driver will be rewarded with a $500 donation for their respective community group from EKC. Runners-up will also receive a $250 donation for their
community group from EKC. The initial run of time trials will support the Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre, Canal Flats Youth Group for a Skateboard Park, Fernie Women’s Resource Centre and Kimberley Early Learning Centre. The community
groups involved will be on-hand at the game in support of their representative driver and to provide information on their community initiatives. “If you’re coming from Sparwood or Kimberley, wear your Kimberley jerseys. Bring a Kimberley flag,” Davies added. “I would love to see the crowds roaring for their team. “If you’re from the other local communities, be supportive, be local.” Communities partic-
ipating in the season-long challenge include Cranbrook, Kimberley, Canal Flats, Elkford, Fernie, Invermere, Sparwood and Creston. The distinction of ‘Master Zamboni Driver’ will be awarded during the final time trials, set for Friday, March 13, 2015, when the Medicine Hat Tigers visit Western Financial Place. The two drivers with fastest recorded time trials will duke it out one last time for ultimate zamboni-driving supremacy. The second set of trials is slated for Saturday, Jan. 24, 2015, when the Swift Current Broncos roll into Cranbrook. Apart from the charitable donations for her or his respective community groups, the winning zamboni driver will be enshrined on a plaque at Western Financial Place and will also take the ‘Master Zamboni Driver’ trophy back to their home rink for one year. Friday’s game between the Ice and Oil Kings is scheduled for 7 p.m.
NFL star Peterson avoids jail time Plea agreement reached in Viking RB’s child abuse case
Juan A. Loz ano Associated Press
CONROE, Texas Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson avoided jail time on Tuesday in a plea agreement reached with prosecutors to resolve his child abuse case. Peterson was indicted in September on a felony charge of injury to a child for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son earlier this year in suburban Houston. The All-
Pro running back says he never intended to harm his son and was disciplining him in the same way he had been as a child growing up in East Texas. The boy suffered cuts, marks and bruising to his thighs, back and on one of his testicles, according to court records. The case revived a debate about corporal punishment, which is on the decline in the U.S. but still widely practiced in homes and schools. Under the agreement approved by Montgomery County state District Judge Kelly Case and announced during a scheduled court hearing, Peterson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanour charge of
reckless assault. If convicted of felony child abuse, he could have faced up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine. A tentative trial date of Dec. 1 had been set in Peterson’s case. Peterson has been on paid leave from the Vikings under a special exemption from the NFL commissioner to take care of his legal problems. It was not immediately clear how the plea deal would affect his playing status. Last month, a visiting judge denied a request by prosecutors to remove Case as judge in the case. Prosecutors had accused Case of being biased against them and wanted a new judge appointed. The plea deal made
moot a pending motion by prosecutors to revoke Peterson’s $15,000 bond for alleged marijuana use. Corporal punishment is legal in every state. The Texas Attorney General’s Office notes that belts and brushes “are accepted by many as legitimate disciplinary ‘tools,”’ but “electrical or phone cords, boards, yardsticks, ropes, shoes, and wires are likely to be considered instruments of abuse.” Texas law says the use of non-deadly force against someone younger than 18 is justified if a parent or guardian “reasonably believes the force is necessary to discipline the child or to safeguard or promote his welfare.”

Cranbrook archers represent at Team B.C. Winter Games trials For The Townsman
The Cranbrook Archery Club sent three athletes to Canada Winter Games trials in Oliver, B.C., Nov. 1. Krista Pitney led the way in the compound female category, finishing second and earning a place as a Team B.C. alternate ahead of the 2015 Canada Winter Games. Luc Volard finished third at the trials and and Adam Pitney finished fourth in the compound male category. The Canada Winter Games trials saw the top-four scoring athletes in the province shoot a 600 round be-
fore engaging in head-to-head elimination rounds. According to Elaine Johnson of the Cranbrook Archery Club, the three athletes put forth a strong fight in the face of a lot of pressure. The 2015 Canada Winter Games are being hosted in Prince George, B.C. from Feb. 13 to March 1, 2015. A total of 2,400 athletes, 1,000 coaches and officials and as many as 4,500 volunteers are expected to attend the event. Prince George is the first city in B.C. to host the winter edition of the Canada Games.
Forzani’s brain donated to concussion research C anadian Press
CALGARY - Researchers with the Canadian Sports Concussion Project will be studying the brain of a former Calgary Stampeders football player who died last week. A friend and former teammate of John Forzani says the two of them discussed the
matter four years ago. Basil Bark says Forzani decided at the time that donating his brain to science would be worthwhile. Bark said Forzani, who was also part-owner of the CFL team, suffered several concussions during his playing years. The project led by Dr. Charles Tator at Toronto
Western Hospital is believed to be the world’s first study of the longterm effects of concussions on professional football players. Forzani was an offensive lineman with the Stampeders for six seasons in the 1970s. He died Friday at age 67 after suffering a heart attack in California.
MLB returning to Montreal...temporarily
CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL - The Toronto Blue Jays are hoping for another home run in Montreal. The Blue Jays will
face the Cincinnati Reds in a pair of pre-season games April 3-4 at Olympic Stadium. A two-game series against the New York Mets last March drew more than 96,000 fans to the Big O. Organizers announced today that former Blue Jays star Roberto Alomar, manager Cito Gaston and former Reds and Montreal
Expos slugger Tony Perez will be honoured at the games next spring. Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre hopes another large turnout will show the baseball world the city is ready to have a major-league team again. The city has been without a team since the Expos moved to Washington in 2005.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve known Owen for four years, and we are in various classes together. We email regularly and chat all the time, and I consider him my best friend. Our parents are good friends, too. Recently, Owen and I have become closer than “just friends” and privately expressed our feelings for each other. However, once our parents found out, they promptly shut us down, saying we were “unqualified” and “underage.” We didn’t even kiss, let alone have sex. My parents have always been protective, and I appreciate that, but this is upsetting to me. Owen is a great guy. We are both very responsible kids. I don’t have a fantastic relationship with my parents, so I tend not to be that open with them. It’s not comfortable for me. Both my parents and Owen’s seem to have brushed aside the whole thing as if it never occurred. What should I do? -- A. Dear A.: It depends on how old you are. If you are not yet 16, your parents are wise to put a lid on this. The reason is, these things can get out of control, even though you are both responsible. It starts with expressing your feelings, then kissing, and then one of you will undoubtedly want the relationship to progress to the next level. As teenagers, your emotions tend to get ahead of your brain. (This can happen even after you are 16, but that is a more acceptable age to begin dating.) Your feelings for Owen are perfectly normal, but please don’t do too much too soon. And it would be unwise to hide your activities from your parents. If you don’t think you can talk to them about this, confide in an older sibling, an aunt or uncle, or a grandparent, favorite teacher or family friend. It will help. Promise. Dear Annie: For the past few years, I have bumped into a female acquaintance at our large workplace about twice a month. She always seemed friendly and sometimes even a little flirty. She always had a ring on her left ring finger, so I assumed she was spoken for. I saw her again this week, and she excitedly told me she is getting married. I congratulated her and mentioned that she must have known this guy a long time. She told me “it’s been almost a year.” I asked her about the ring she always wore on her left hand, and she said, “That was my mother’s ring.” It turns out that this smart, beautiful lady was available for much of the time I’ve known her. I think we could have made a wonderful couple. I always thought that a woman wearing any type of ring on her ring finger was clearly indicating that she was not available. But after talking with other women friends, I’ve found out that this isn’t always the case. What are your feelings on the matter? -- Disappointed Dear Disappointed: These days, women wear rings everywhere. But you are right that those who wear them on their ring finger give the impression that they are attached. There is nothing wrong with saying, “Congratulations! When is the wedding?” If she’s not engaged, she will say so. And if she is, no harm, no foul. Dear Annie: I think it’s wonderful that “Sugar Mama” has planned for her retirement. My husband and I have some simple advice: “Spend your children’s inheritance.” If the kids aren’t expecting money, they will stand on their own two feet. If you decide (as my mom did) to help the grandchildren, it is a delightful surprise, and you reap the thanks while you can enjoy it. “Sugar” should go on that cruise and be generous with her friend. If her daughter doesn’t like it, she will have to live with her own disappointment while Mom is having a wonderful life, well earned -- West Virginia Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Mable Nancy Allan (nee Popoff) 1937 - 2014 It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our Mom, Mable Allan, on Thursday, October 30, 2014. Mom was 76 years old. The youngest of 4 children, Mom was born at home in Pass Creek on December 11, 1937. She grew up on a farm with no electricity, running water or phone, a coal stove for cooking and heating, and a bathroom outside. Mom always loved to crochet and embroider; and this she learned by the light of a coal oil lamp. As a teen, during the summers she worked in Creston picking strawberries and raspberries, or would go to Summerland to work in a cannery processing fruits and vegetables, where she got to meet a lot of friends her own age. In her late teens, Mom went to visit her older sister, Mary, in Vancouver, got a job and ended up staying 5 years. She loved Vancouver! Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend, Tilly, was the singer in a band so Mom went along with her to different gigs and sang with her at times. The band was hired to play at the Scooner Club on the Airforce Base in Richmond, and this is where she met our Dad, Bill, a triservice man who was in charge of hiring entertainment for the club. Mom and Dad were married in April 1961 and moved to Castlegar in 1962. They welcomed us, their 3 daughters, in the years to follow. In 1973 Mom and Dad went to visit some close friends who had moved to Elkford. The road into Elkford was all washboard and Mom told Dad, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will never live here.â&#x20AC;? Six months later, Dad was hired by Fording, so they packed us up and moved into what would be their home for 22 years. Mom worked at the Elkford Post Office for 17 years and in 1995 she and Dad moved to Cranbrook to retire. They were so happy to live in Cranbrook where there are four seasons and much milder weather than the Valley. During her retirement, Mom enjoyed decorating her home, crocheting, embroidery, sewing, crafts, shopping, travelling, and entertaining. Mom was country musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest fan (there was no one greater than George Jones) and went to concerts as often as she could! More than anything though, Mom lived for her family; she enjoyed spending as much time as she could with all of us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Babaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? house was a second home for all of her grandchildren, whether it was having them come live with her while attending college, or just being a place to stop by while on a bike ride. Her door was always open and she would welcome anyone with open arms. She taught her grandkids to do things for themselves like cooking and sewing, and always did everything she could for them. She could be counted on at the drop of a hat to do anything her girls needed. She looked after our kids, babysat pets & houses, made countless family dinners (making enough to feed an army so we could all take home leftovers), acted as a substitute taxi service, was always there to listen, to laugh with, to cry with, to travel with, and to give advice if needed. Mom carried many burdens in her lifetime but she always did the best she could. She showed us what it means to be strong and independent, she taught us to be kind and to always do the right thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she was our rock and our glue. Left to cherish her memory are her broken hearted family: Lynda Lindley (Kelly, Keuran & Hailey, Dion), Cindy Armstrong (Aaron, Kade, Darrien, Presley), Diedre Kilback (Calvin, Alyssa, Keian), and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. Mom was predeceased by her Mom and Dad, Alexander and Helen, brothers, Bill and Sam, sister, Mary, and husband, (our Dad) Bill. A private service was held Tuesday, November 4, 2014.
In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.
