Recent arrests should bring a stop to some thefts, RCMP says C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Cpl. Chris Newel, Acting NCO of the Kimberley RCMP Detachment, attended City Council on Monday evening to deliver the second quarter policing report, but what he really wanted to talk to Council about was the rash of thefts this year. Newel had some good news about that, telling Council that some recent arrests should see a stop to a lot of that activity. Newel said that in the past two months there had been theft in Kimberley and area like he had never seen before — thefts from vehicles, thefts of bikes and recreational vehicles, thefts of vehicles. “It’s caused a huge amount of concern,” he said. “So many things were happening, we had quite a few people on our radar.” Newel said that with the level of thefts varying — from tossing a vehicle to take $5 to stealing a vehicle from a car dealer — there were bound to be different individuals involved in the thefts. “People who rifle cars are not the same guy who steals a car from a dealer and dumps it at a golf course,” he said. He said a recent arrest in Rossland, in which the individual got 15 months for theft, turned out to be someone on Kimberley RCMP radar. “There was also another individual living in Townsite in a tent. We got him on a multitude of charges. There was also an individual who stole a car from Kimberley and was caught in Kamloops. We haven’t seen him since he disappeared. “We have three subjects before the courts on minor charges. One was released on strict conditions. In fact I will be knocking on his door in about two hours to make sure he is home.” There was also an arrest made of the individual who stole recreational vehicles in Lumberton over the weekend. “He was a major player in a lot of this stuff,” Newel said. With all these arrests, Newel says the playing field has considerable narrowed.

SD 6 INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM

Eighteen Japanese students from Kimberley’s sister city of Annaka, Japan visited School District No. 6 (Rocky Mountain) for a one-week summer program from August 16 – 22, 2015. This annual program involves ESL classes in the morning and activities in the afternoon. The program continues to showcase the Kimberley area’s many attractions, events, and amenities. This year local students once again joined the program to make friends and speak English with the Japanese students. Some of them are hoping to visit Annaka in March, 2016 when the Rocky Mountain International Student Program is planning a return trip to Japan for students at McKim Middle School and Selkirk Secondary School. See more from the visit on Page 12.

That busy morning commute C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

It’s not near the volume of traffic you’d see on a commute from Langley to Vancouver, but Highway 95 A between Kimberley and Cranbrook does have its share of commuters. Recent traffic counts suggest that approximately 3,000 vehicles travel between the two cities every morning. With that volume of traffic, Kimberley City Council had asked the local RCMP to pay some attention to that route. Traffic on that route is not under the jurisdiction

of Kimberley RCMP but of East Kootenay Traffic Services. Cpl. Chris Newel says that he spoke to traffic services about targeting that section of highway and they have done so. “They did catch one vehicle going 140 plus in the early morning,” he said. “That car is now spending seven days in a care facility.” Newel says that Traffic Services will be keeping an eye on the road and try to curtail speeding. He added that with the amount of vehicles, there are surprisingly few accidents on the highway.

Council working on new watering bylaw Bylaw change would allow further water restrictions C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

For the time being, the current even/odd mandatory water restrictions will stay in place in Kimberley, but Council will be working on a new bylaw that will allow the City Operations department greater latitude in putting further restrictions in place. Council was presented with a draft bylaw this

week and it will go to a Committee of the Whole meeting for further revision and discussion. “The reason that it’s being brought forward is that the City doesn’t have a bylaw that allows the Manager of Operations to go forward on further restrictions,” said Coun. Albert Hoglund, who chaired this week’s Council meeting in the absence of Mayor Don McCormick. “The bylaw is a good start” said Coun. Kent Goodwin. “But I think we should be on stage 2 right now and thinking about stage 3 in a couple of

weeks if we don’t get significant rain. Hoglund said that the Manager of Operations was confident it would be all right for this year. “We still have 2 cm of overflow over the dam. While that might not seem like much, it’s still a lot of water. Usually the weather changes by September. We get a little more rain and people stop watering.” Goodwin said that was in a normal year. “We are heading into the strongest El Nino ever,” he pointed out. “But, at least we’re working on it.”

New extended ‘family’ for fire department

NOTICE OF A MAINTENANCE POWER OUTAGE FORT STEELE

F o r t h e Town sman

Members of Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services can now be better trained for search and rescue and first responder calls thanks to its recently expanded “family” of life like mannequins. The department recently acquired 5 new mannequins in a variety of sizes and ages bringing their total to seven, which will allow for better training and for first responders to be better prepared. “We are now in a position to better train for real life scenarios by using a broader range of victims,” says Chief

We will be making electrical system improvements in your area. To ensure the safety of our work crews, it will be necessary to interrupt electrical service for approximately six hours.

Wayne Price, Director of Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services. “These mannequins are designed for use in hazardous material responses, confined space rescue, auto extrication, ice and water rescue as well as first responder medical training.” Most fire departments utilize only two mannequins, which can lead to less realistic training scenarios. With the new additions, Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services is better equipped to serve the residents of Cranbrook and Area C of the Regional District of East Kootenay.

LONDON - Don’t set your watch by Big Ben. Officials say the famous clock at Britain’s Parliament — used by Londoners for decades to check the time — has recently been slow by as much as six seconds. The 156-year-old clock chimes every 15 minutes and emits deep bongs to mark the hour. Its inaccuracy was noticed by staff at BBC radio, which broadcasts the bongs live at 6 p.m. Ian Westworth, one of Parliament’s three clocksmiths, told the

BBC the clock had become “a little temperamental” with age. “Imagine running your car for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for the last 156 years,” he said. Parliamentary officials said Tuesday that mechanics had corrected the clock to within “normal parameters” within 2 seconds of the right time. They will continue to adjust it by placing pennies on the pendulum — or removing them — to fine-tune its speed. Parliament ’s neo-Gothic clock tower

is one of London’s most recognizable landmarks, and its bell is one of London’s characteristic sounds. The famous bongs echoed through the city without fail through World War II bombing raids, though they have been silenced a few times for repairs, and by accident or the weather. Although the clock tower is popularly known as Big Ben, the name actually refers to the 13 1/2- ton Great Bell inside. The tower was renamed the Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the throne.

Kimberley $13,500 raised at Food Bank sale woman asks for community support C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Mystery illness has been stumping doctors for eight months C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Susan Ryan has lived in Kimberley for 25 years. She’s done a lot of volunteer work and been involved in the community. And now she finds herself in a position where she could use some support herself. It started as a cold early last winter, Ryan says. “At first they thought it was pneumonia, but not a typical one. From there they went to not knowing. Then they thought cancer. I had 24 biopsies on my lung. It’s a tumour, but it’s not cancer. It’s getting smaller in one place and bigger in another. It’s causing scar tissue in my lung. It’s caused my body to swell up. They think it’s masking something else going on, but they don’t know what it is. My doctors tell me, it’s not typical, you’re unique.” She was in emergency last week, thinking she might be suffering a heart attack and the ER doctor said she needed extensive heart testing. “Right now I’m in limbo. I’m hoping in the next week and a half or so to have some answers.” The uncertainty is wearing on Ryan, as is the cost of her long ill-

ness. “I’m asking for support from the community. I volunteered at the Pines for 14 years, in the schools. I have been involved in my town for a long time. I never thought I’d be the one needing help, but it is what it is. It’s been eight months now. I’m trying to keep a happy face. “I don’t have benefits. My last bout of medication was $500 and it didn’t work for me.” In the meantime, Ryan says she’s finding out all about the health care system and how it works. “It’s frustrating at times. You have to wait for results from one test before they can refer you to another specialist. You feel for people in the same situation. I’ve learned a lot from people just sitting in waiting rooms. “I’ve never been so sick in my life. I’ve never before had to have people do things for me, help me shower. You have to swallow your pride, humble yourself.” A trust fund for Susan Ryan has been set up at Kootenay Savings Credit Union and there will be a garage sale on September 19 to raise funds. If you can donate items for the garage sale, call Susan at 250-427-7602 or Karen at 250-4274937.

Thefts should decrease with arrests, police say From page 1 “We should have a slow down,” he said. “This quarter is always the busiest, but this year we had more calls as of August 20 then we did in all of August last year. We’ve had a real struggle with manpower. We’ve had a shortage and when you come in in the morning and there have been five B and E’s over night, there’s your paperwork for the day.”

The annual Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank garage sale was a big success as always. The 2015 sale, held last Saturday at the Kimberley Curling Club, raised almost $13,500 for the Food Bank. “Hundreds and hundreds of people came through the sale,” said Stan Salikin of the Food Bank. “There were lineups around the corner of the arena at 9 a.m. There were lots of people waiting. It took over five minutes for everyone to come in when the doors opened.” The garage sale is the Food Bank’s second largest individual day fundraiser, second only to the Duck Race on July 1. “We’re very pleased with the amount raised,” Salikin said. “It will go a long way to help the Food Bank with the purchase of perishable

“We couldn’t do it without our donors, buyers and volunteers,” Salikin said. “The Food

Police continue search for missing man For the Bulletin

Police and Search and Rescue continue the search for the 74-year-old Cranbrook man missing since Thursday morning. Acting Sgt. Scott Milliken said they are continuing to look for leads on the disappearance of Gordon Rice. Neither Rice, nor his truck have been located. Milliken said they are looking into credit cards and things like that to see if there have been any recent purchases or activity since he’d gone missing. “We had search and

rescue, over the weekend, fly over the area here and they found nothing,” he said. Milliken said there has been nothing to indicate the disappearance looks suspicious, in the way of an abduction. The information has also been circulated to Southern Alberta and Southeastern B.C. Milliken said if members of the public see anything that may have a connection to this missing person case, call Crimestoppers immediately at 1-800-2228477.

Local NEWS Purcell Mountain Painters on display in the Gallery at Centre 64 For the Bulle tin

A group of artists from Invermere, the Purcell Mountain Painters (PMP), will bring their works to the Gallery at Centre 64 for an exhibition running from September 1 to 28. PMP was formed about 15 years ago and currently has over 30 members. They include experienced and successful painters and first time artists. The purpose of the group is to help members to improve their skills, learn and share new techniques, and learn how to further their careers as artists. This show at the Gallery at Centre 64 will feature paintings by both newer and more experienced artists, some of whom will be present at a public reception on Saturday, September 5, from 2 to 4 p.m., to talk about their work to those attending. PMP artists have exhibited at Centre 64 previously, and we can expect to see landscapes and pictures of natural subjects featuring dominantly in this show. But members paint a wide variety of subjects and in a range of styles and mediums, from oils and acrylics to pastel and crayon. Among the artists exhibiting in this show are Grace Allen, Sebastian Bell, Victoria Gordon, Wolfgang Kunze, Maureen Leitch, Sherry Mallach, Pat Roome, Elizabeth Stuart, Betty Ann Whittaker, Victoria page, and Patrick Yesh.

B.C. crews begin suppression on wildfire in U.S

Air quality advisory expanded to entire Kootenay Boundary region For the bulle tin

GRAND FORKS – The Stickpin wildfire burning in northern Ferry County, Washington, five kilometres south of the Canada-United States border is now estimated at 19,240 hectares. The BC Wildfire Service is working closely with fire agency representatives in the United States to coordinate wildfire response for this incident. The BC Wildfire Service has begun work on Branch 3 of the Stickpin wildfire (Also known as “The Canadian Branch”), which is the northeast portion the fire. Current objectives include developing sit-

uational awareness, identifying anchor points, and establishing control lines to keep this incident from reaching Canada. Growth to the northeast has been minimal over the last few days due to lower temperatures and winds, and the northern part of the fire burning into an area with fewer fuels as a result of the 2003 Togo wildfire. Due to heavy smoke in the area, the BC Wildfire service is currently unable to support crews on the ground with airtankers or helicopter buckets. If required, BC Wildfire Service airtankers may use Christina Lake for air operations. An Air Attack Officer flying in a smaller “bird-dog” or lead aircraft will sound an alarm over the area prior to airtankers landing in the lake. For the safety of firefighting personnel

and the public, recreational boaters are asked to avoid using the lake during these operations. Safe fire suppression efforts depend on the support and understanding of the public. The BC Wildfire Service is working with structural protection firefighters from the Boundary region to assess properties which could potentially become threatened by this wildfire. Residents will be notified if an Evacuation Alert or Order is put in effect. The BC Wildfire Service would also like to acknowledge the support from Border Services in both countries in expediting resources to this incident. The Southeast Fire Centre thanks the public for its ongoing support in reporting wildfires. To report a wildfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555

toll-free or *5555 on a cell phone. For the latest information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, visit: http://www. bcwildfire.ca You can also follow the latest wildfire news on: • Twitter at http:// twitter.com/BCGovFireInfo • Facebook at http:// facebook.com/BCForestFireInfo The Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with the Interior Health Authority, updated the Smoky Skies Advisory issued on August 20th to include the entire Boundary and Kootenay areas due to forest-fire smoke that is affecting the region. Southerly winds have continued to spread further north heavy plumes of smoke from the large wildfires burning in Washington

State, resulting in high concentrations of fine particulates and poor air quality. While this episode is expected to persist until a major shift in wind patterns and weather conditions, smoke concentrations will vary widely as winds, fire behaviour and temperatures change. Avoid strenuous outdoor activities. If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, contact your health care provider: difficulty in breathing, chest pain or discomfort, and sudden onset of cough or irritation of airways. Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, and lung or heart disease. This advisory will remain in effect until further notice.

The Koreas: Two siblings squabbling

aving just been on holiday with two very strong-willed little boys aged 8 and 9, I feel particularly well qualified to explain why the two Koreas went to the brink of war over some loudspeakers, but didn’t go over the edge. George and James could explain the process even better themselves, but child labour laws prevent them from writing for newspapers, so I’ll do it for them. It began with a landmine explosion in the Demilitarised Zone between the two countries that severely wounded two South Korean army sergeants. The mine was of an old Soviet design, so Seoul said it must have been put there by North Korea and demanded an apology from Pyongyang. The North Korean denied it, of course, but Pyongyang gets very upset every year around this time, when South Korea and the United States hold their annual joint military exercises. So to punish North Korea, South Korea re-activated the loudspeakers that used to broadcast anti-North Korean propaganda across the DMZ until they were turned off eleven years ago. Nobody could hear the propaganda except North Korean soldiers on the other side of the DMZ, so it’s hard to see what actual harm it was doing, but North Korea rose to the bait with alacrity. Last Thursday afternoon, North Korean troops fired a rocket and several artillery

shells at the loudspeakers, though none seem to have hit them. South Korea responded with a barrage of dozens of 155mm artillery rounds, which led North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (the pudgy one with the very bad haircut) to declare a “semi-state of war” and set a 48-hour deadline for the loudspeakers to be turned off. Otherwise, Kim said, his troops would carry out “indiscriminate strikes” against the South. This would have been a grave threat if he actually meant it, since most of Seoul, a city of 25 million Gwynne people, is within artillery range of the DMZ, but the Dyer Saturday deadline passed without further shooting. Instead, urgent talks began on Saturday in the “truce” village of Panmunjom, in the middle of the DMZ, between Hwang Pyong-so, the political director of the North Korean armed forces, and Kim Kwan-jin, national security adviser to the South Korean president. The talks lasted more than three days, with the South Korean loudspeakers still blaring out and North Korean artillery, landing craft and submarines moving towards the frontiers. “If nothing is agreed, we have to continue the broadcasting,” said the South Korean representative at the talks. “We are tired of speaking the language of escalation.” That last sentence didn’t even make sense. Were Kim Kwan-jin and his North Korean counterpart really flirting with the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

idea of a war that would certainly kill hundreds of thousands of people, and might even turn nuclear, over some loudspeakers? Maybe, but there was a distinct lack of panic in other capitals, and in the end they made a deal. That brings us back to the two litle boys. Siblings who are close in age, even if they are friends, are also rivals, and they generally squabble a lot. They often get locked into quarrels over matters of little or no importance and seem unable to walk away from them. What keeps these struggles from ending in real violence, and usually restores order in the end, is adult intervention. Even if they resent it, the kids also secretly welcome it, because it frees them from the trap of their own emotions. The adults, in this case, are the great-power allies of the two Koreas: China for the North, and the United States for the South. It’s not that Americans and Chinese are really more grown-up than Koreans, but being farther away, they could see how petty the confrontation really is, and they had no intention of being dragged into a war over it. So in the end North Korea expressed “regret” about the land-mine, and South Korea turned off the loudspeakers, and everybody lived grumpily ever after. Or something like that.

Intrasquad game opens Ice campaign of giving back Annual Black & White game slated for Sept. 3 in support of East Kootenay United Way

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

For the past 16 years, the Kootenay Ice Black & White Intrasquad Game has provided fans the opportunity to take in some of the club’s best and brightest future talent, while supporting a good cause at the same time. On Thursday, Sept. 3 at 6 p.m., the annual intrasquad game in support of East Kootenay United Way returns to Western Financial Place for its 17th instalment. “We are proud to continue our long-standing relationship with the East Kootenay United Way,” said Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, in a team release. More than $32,000 has been raised for East Kootenay United Way over 16 years of the Kootenay Ice Black & White Intrasquad Game. Most recently, the 2014 intrasquad game raised $2,265 for the East Kootenay United Way. “It’s a chance for us to partner with a charitable organization and the East Kootenay United Way has been involved for the last 16 years and this will be their 17th year,” said Chris Wahl, director of sales and public relations for the Kootenay Ice. “It’s worked out to be a great partnership and both sides really see a benefit from it.” Fans wishing to attend the Black & White Intrasquad Game are

asked to bring a minimum donation for the East Kootenay United Way of $5 per person. Each year, the Black & White Game features a handful of returning Kootenay Ice players and young prospects, including a number of selections from the most recent WHL Bantam Draft.

“We like to partner with charitable organizations... We’re always happy to take requests and work with a variety of interest groups that serve, not just Cranbrook, but the entire East Kootenay region.” Chris Wahl Kootenay Ice Led by veteran forward Ryan Chynoweth, Team Black claimed supremacy in 2014 with an exciting 4-3 shootout victory. Ryan was the instrasquad hero last season, providing the offensive bookends in the annual charity game by opening the scoring before ending it all in the seventh round of the shootout. There will be room for a new hero in 2015 as Ryan has moved on to the Drumheller Dragons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. In 2014, forward

Vince Loschiavo -- 16 years old at the time -stepped into the spotlight as he made a case for a place on the fulltime roster. The native of Winnipeg registered an electrifying tally, burning a wrist shot past a helpless Declan Hobbs in the third period of play, putting his quick release on display for those in attendance. Loschiavo, a 6-foot-1 speedster, went on to appear in 58 games as a rookie with the Ice, scoring six goals and nine points last season. He represents the next wave of young talent as the Kootenay Ice turn over a new leaf following the graduation of players like Sam Reinhart, Tim Bozon and Rinat Valiev. Though Hobbs was burned by Loschiavo in last year’s Black & White Game, the Saskatoon native earned a two-game regular season stint with the Ice later in the year and stands as a strong candidate to one day inhabit the crease on a more full-time basis. While rosters for the annual Black & White Game won’t be announced until closer to Sept. 3, fans could expect to see a variety of 2015 WHL Bantam Draft selections, including defenceman Loeden Schaufler (third round, 56th overall), forwards Eli Lieffers (fourth round, 78th) and Benjamin Sanderson (sixth round, 122nd) just to name a few. Players from the 2014

Kootenay Ice forward Vince Loschiavo (#17, above) emerged as a promising young talent from the 2014 Black & White Intrasquad game. The annual charitable contest returns to Western Financial Place Sept. 3 and provides fans the opportunity to take in the best and brightest in up-and-coming Ice prospects while supporting a local community cause at the same time. WHL Bantam Draft class are now eligible to suit up on a full-time basis. Like Loschiavo did last season, there will be a number of players making their second appearance at Kootenay Ice camp hopeful of earning a coveted fulltime spot this season. Goaltender Jakob Walter (second round, 33rd overall) will look to make an impression and put some heat on the likes of returning goaltender Keelan Williams as well as Hobbs.

Calgary Flames extend captain Giordano for six years Donna Spencer Canadian Press

CALGARY - The Calgary Flames checked off the top task on their summer to-do list by signing captain Mark Giordano to a six-year contract extension. The 31-year-old defenceman has a year remaining on his current contract, but Flames GM Brad Treliving said in May re-signing the captain was “number one priority” this off-season. The deal announced Tuesday was reported to

be worth US$40.5 million. Giordano’s agent Ritch Winter would not confirm that figure citing client confidentiality. Despite missing the last quarter of the regular season, Giordano posted a career-high 48 points in 61 games to finish fifth in team scoring. The rearguard was on track for Norris Trophy consideration when he tore his bicep Feb. 25 against New Jersey. Giordano insisted at the time of his injury his absence would not prevent the Flames from

making the playoffs for the first time since 2009. He watched from the press box as the Flames secured a playoff berth in their last home game of the season. Calgary played 11 playoff games before bowing out to the Anaheim Ducks in the second round. Giordano began participating in full practice with the green light to shoot the puck during the Anaheim series, but Calgary’s post-season ended before he could return to the lineup. The Toronto native

has 66 goals and 179 assists in 510 career games, all with Calgary. Giordano’s previous five-year extension was worth $20.1 million. He played in the NHL all-star game prior to his injury. Giordano was also one of three finalists for the NHL’s Foundation Player Award that goes to the player “who applies the core values of hockey commitment, perseverance and teamwork - to enrich the lives of people in his community.”

77th) will look to make a name for himself as he graduates from the Okanagan Hockey Academy and into the junior ranks this season. Walter and Patterson represent just a couple of the young up-andcomers that could find themselves on the ice for the annual charitable intrasquad outing. Organizations interested in partnering with the Kootenay Ice for future charitable and notfor-profit events are encouraged to contact Wahl (cwahl@kootenayice.net) or the Koo-

tenay Ice office at 250417-0322. “When we can, we like to partner with charitable organizations,” Wahl said. “At this point, we’re still finalizing a lot of what we plan on doing [this season], both at our game nights and with respect to getting the players out in the community and getting them involved. “We’re always happy to take requests and work with a variety of interest groups that serve, not just Cranbrook, but the entire East Kootenay region.”

Through the 2014-15 season, the Kootenay Ice were involved in a number of local charitable outings and efforts, including classroom and library appearances, the Royal Canadian Legion’s November wreath campaign, the annual Teddy Bear Toss and subsequent visit to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in December, just to name a few. Kootenay Ice training camp opens Monday, Aug. 31, with the first prospect game of the week slated for 10 a.m. at Western Financial Place.

Former Ice forward Adam Cracknell signs with Vancouver Canucks Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Former Kootenay Ice forward Adam Cracknell has scored his next NHL contract. Tuesday morning, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reported Cracknell had signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $575,000 at the NHL level with the Vancouver Canucks. Cracknell, 30, has skated in 82 career NHL games tallying six goals and 17 points. In 415 career American Hockey League games, the native of Prince Albert, Sask., has registered 97 goals and 220 points. The 6-foot-2 forward spent four seasons with the WHL’s Kootenay Ice, appearing in 283 games and posting

213 points before being drafted by the Calgary Flames in the ninth round (279th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. Since being drafted, Cracknell has spent time with the Flames, St. Louis Blues and Columbus Blue Jackets organizations. Cracknell played for the Kootenay Ice from 2002-03 through 2005-06.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband, “Ben,” and I each lost a spouse and then found each other. We live in the same house with one of his daughters and a granddaughter. Ben is quite attached to this house. The two daughters are the owners now, but their father bought it originally and has always maintained it. The daughter who lives here has a neurological disorder, which keeps her from accepting me. She has only spoken to me by name two or three times, although she knows how to blow up at us when something makes her angry. I try to greet her every morning with a family nickname that she likes, but she still only grunts in reply. It seems that she has influenced the granddaughter to resent me, as well. I have tried to put my foot down on occasion, but mostly, I just meekly defend myself from her criticism. My husband feels sorry for her and she fawns over him, so he believes that she can do no wrong. He cannot hear well, so he is unaware of how she speaks to me. I’ve asked Ben about moving to a place of our own, but he won’t do it. He also doesn’t like the idea of paying rent when he has a place to live for free. And his daughter wants him to stay because he does all of the upkeep and pays the bills. Annie, I cringe when I hear one of these girls coming, and I hide if I can. I have prayed about my anger and tried to overcome the fear I feel at an encounter. Ben would not condone my going for counseling, as he is a minister himself. Is there anything I can do? -Coming In Third Dear Third: You do not need Ben’s permission to get counseling to help you deal with an unfair and unpleasant situation that he is perpetuating. Was the living situation discussed in advance? Did you agree to live with his daughter forever? Your minister husband should be aware that spouses promise to put each other first when they marry. He has not done this. Please get counseling with or without Ben. You also may need to get a place of your own to find peace, and if Ben refuses to relocate with you, suggest that he visit often. Dear Annie: Some close friends of ours have become lazy hosts. When we have a party at our home, we provide the food and other items. If we have a potluck, each guest brings a dish and we provide the main course and the drinks. For these friends, the last few birthday parties have been at restaurants where we paid for our own meals. The “hosts” might bring a cake, but the rest of us are expected to bring a gift to the honoree. This seems cheap to me. We enjoy getting together, but would appreciate a little more effort. Otherwise, they aren’t hosting the party at all. We are. -- Not So Social in Louisville, Ky. Dear Not So: If you are paying your own way, then they are not hosting the event. However, it is not uncommon for a bunch of friends to get together to celebrate someone’s birthday, in which case, there is no host at all. We hope they reciprocate for your lovely home hospitality in some other way. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Barbara Ann Foster 1942 - 2015

Barb, a loving wife as well as, Mom, Granny, Great Granny and Good Friend, passed away suddenly on Sunday, August 23, 2015 at home in her favourite spot by her flowers at 73 years of age. Barb was born on February 10, 1942 in Edmonton, Alberta. She will be fondly remembered by her family and friends. In her youth she loved playing for the Marysville Go Go’s Softball Team and had many fond memories of the road trips with her teammates many of whom remain life-long friends. Her careers as the Editor to the Kimberley Bulletin and as a Canada Post Letter Carrier made her very familiar with all of Kimberley and Marysville where she was a lifetime resident. Her retirement years were spent loving her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, perfecting her painting and writing skills, golfing and gardening. She loved being outside whether it be enjoying the flowers and birds in her backyard or camping at any remote location in the Kootenays. She never missed an opportunity to gaze at the stars or watch the clouds go by. She loved every moment of life and will be greatly missed by all.

What would a visit to Canada be without a little hockey?

Fun at the lake.

Barbara is survived by her loving husband of 56 years Larry Foster; son Clayton Foster; and his children Jacqueline (Jamie) Smithson and Shailynn; and Jacqueline’s children Everett and Whitney; daughter Marjorie (Peter) Wilder; and their children Rebecca and Ashley Wilder. Barbara was predeceased by her parents Glenn and Doris Wesche and her brother Laurie Wesche. A celebration of Barbara’s life and a chance to gather for memories will be held on Saturday, August 29, 2015 at 2:00 pm in the Marysville Community Church (136 – 307th Avenue in Kimberley). Memorial donations in Barbara’s honour can be made to the: Kimberley Public Library, 115 – Spokane Street, Kimberley, British Columbia, V1A 2E5. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.
