City hiring new CAO ARN E PE TRYSHEN

The City of Cranbrook is hiring a new CAO, and Wayne Staudt is leaving his position at the end of his contract. A posting on www. civicinfo.bc.ca said the City is looking to hire an experienced chief administrative officer for a competition that closes Dec. 14, 2015. Chris Zettel, the City’s Corporate Communications Officer could not speak to the specifics, but issued this statement about the outgoing CAO. “Wayne Staudt is still the active CAO for the City of Cranbrook until the end of his contract,” Zettel wrote. “Mayor and council have begun succession

planning for the CAO role.” Staudt was appointment as CAO at the Oct. 22, 2012 city council meeting to replace former CAO Will Pearce. When Pierce was hired by the City of Vernon in June 2012, Staudt stepped into the role of Interim CAO. Staudt, who has been a resident of Cranbrook since 1978, joined the City of Cranbrook in 2002 as the Director of Finance. The current council is the sixth that Wayne Staudt has worked with during his tenure with the City of Cranbrook, with Mayor Lee Pratt being the fourth Mayor.

LOCAL AMPUTEES HELP CARRY ON WAR AMPS LEGACY IN REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY: As they laid a wreath on November 11, at the Cranbrook Remembrance Day Ceremony, Brooke Willisson, 7, and Nicole Byford, 17, passed on a special legacy from The War Amps. Brooke, a multiple amputee, and Nicole, a partial left hand amputee, are proud to be part of Operation Legacy, in which members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program help pass on the Remembrance message to the younger generation. Although Operation Legacy members have not experienced war themselves, they know what it is like to live without a limb – a bond they share with war amputee veterans. They will continue The War Amps tradition of “amputees helping amputees,” and carry on the Remembrance message long into the future.

Finning has announced that the company will close 11 locations across western Canada, along with a workforce reduction of 450 people, which was revealed in a quarterly update on Thursday. The announcement won’t affect operations in Cranbrook or Kimberley, but there will be a facility closure in Sparwood, said Hillary Anaka, communications manager for Finning Canada. Anaka did not provide specific numbers in terms of how many local jobs would be affected, but noted that Finning will still be ac-

tive in Sparwood. “On the Sparwood front, we do plan to exit our existing building in Sparwood by mid2016,” she said. “We’re still working through the details, but I can tell you we’re still planning on having a strong presence in the Elk Valley. “One component of that strong presence are field technicians to support our customers in the area.” The exiting of 11 facilities in Western Canada is part of a restructuring plan to consolidate operations, Anaka continued.

When you’ve dropped three consecutive games and sit last in your division, sometimes all that’s left for a coach is to focus on the positives and look to build upon them. That’s precisely what Kootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce is doing after his squad dropped back-to-back divisional road decisions to the Calgary Hitmen and Medicine Hat Tigers this weekend. “We’ve got to take every positive out of that and show our guys why we put ourselves in a position, once again, to control and win a hockey game,” Pierce said Sunday afternoon, referring to Saturday’s 6-3 loss to the Tigers. “Then it’s understanding when we take leads -- because we’ve seen a lot of leads lately -- we have to understand that teams are going to come harder. We’ve got to be prepared for the bum rush and learn how to handle that. “We’ll take the positives -- every one of them that we can -- and try to work on ways we can hold the fort a little bit better.” Following Friday’s 6-0 defeat at the hands of the Calgary Hitmen, in which the Ice managed a franchise record-tying low 12 shots on goal, Pierce was pleased with the response from his squad the next night. “We just laid an egg [Friday in Calgary],” Pierce said. “I thought there were a lot of players [Saturday in Medicine Hat] that proved a lot of things to themselves about what they can accomplish when they want to work.” Saturday at the Canalta Centre in Medicine Hat, the Ice pushed to a 3-2 lead midway through the second period before the Tigers turned the tables, scoring three consecutive goals to take a 5-3 lead into the final 20 minutes of regulation. After being in a position to take and hold control of the game, the Ice found themselves heading into the third period chasing and ultimately fell 6-3 as veteran

Tigers forward Chad Butcher (1G, 1A) and captain Cole Sanford (2G) took over. The Ice needed to dig deep in search of offense Saturday. With wingers Zak Zborosky and Jaedon Descheneau already missing from action due to injury, captain and leading scorer Luke Philp joined them in the stands after being hurt in Friday’s 6-0 loss to the Calgary Hitmen. Sparking the bounceback effort Saturday were forwards Vince Loschiavo, Jared Legien and Matt Alfaro. Loschiavo tallied his second goal of the year with only 3:28 remaining on the clock in the first period, providing life for the visitors as they headed into the intermission trailing the Tigers 2-1. Hard work in the second period led to a Western Hockey League milestone for winger Jared Legien, who pulled the Ice even with the Tigers at 2-2 as he collected his first-career WHL goal. Less than one minute later, the veteran Alfaro took advantage of a loose puck, banging it past newly-acquired Tigers goaltender Mack Shields for a 3-2 Kootenay Ice lead. “Matt Alfaro might have played his best game of the year for us,” Pierce said. “Stepping up with Luke [Philp] being out and ‘Z’ [Zborosky] being out. “It was a really good rallying point for us.” Unfortunately for the visitors, the Tigers responded with three consecutive goals of their own, courtesy Butcher, Sanford and Mason Shaw to retake a two-goal lead heading into the final period. Sanford added his second of the night to hammer the final nail into the coffin in the third period. While Pierce was already challenged with the reality of life without Zborosky, Philp and Descheneau, adding to the task was the loss of Troy Murray late in the first period. With less than one minute remaining in the first period, the veteran

blue-liner got tangled up with Sanford behind the play. Next thing you know, Murray’s gloves were off and he had Sanford pressed against the glass in the corner of the defensive zone. Though neither player swung a fist or landed any punches, Murray was tagged with a five-minute major penalty for slashing and a game misconduct. On the flip side of the scuffle, Sanford received a pair of minors -- slashing and cross-checking -- on the play. “I’m happy that Troy finally showed some emotion,” Pierce said. “That’s what we need from him. He’s a leader on our team by tenure and minutes played, all those things. We need him to have some passion and some fire. He took a couple of good whacks from Sanford there and he responded. “We had none of that response on Friday night and it was good to see it come out, finally. You never want it to be a major penalty, but at least there’s something there.” At this point, Pierce is unsure whether or not the WHL will be hand-

ing out supplemental discipline to Murray. Saturday in Medicine Hat, it was goaltender Wyatt Hoflin tagged with the loss as he surrendered six goals on 38 shots. The native of Spruce Grove, Alta., was also on the losing end of Friday’s defeat in Calgary, getting the hook after 40 minutes of play in which he was victimized for three goals on 19 shots. Rookie Declan Hobbs came on in relief for the final period Friday, giving up three goals on 12 shots. The Hitmen were led to victory by captain Colby Harmsworth, who registered the game-winning goal, along with multi-point efforts from defencemen Jake Bean (1G, 1A), Loch Morrison (3A) and forwards Radel Fazleev (2A) and Jackson Houck (2A). Goaltender Cody Porter registered the shutout for the Hitmen. Coming full circle, the Ice return to Cranbrook for weekday action as they look to build upon Saturday’s positives when they host the Everett Silvertips on ‘2for-1 Tuesday’ at Western Financial Place.

City seeks new CAO Continued from page 1

The posting states that “a wonderful opportunity has opened up for a qualified Manager to inspire and lead the staff of the city, and continue the work of building and improving the attractive and lively East Kootenay City of Cranbrook. “The energetic and open minded Mayor and Council are looking for creative, efficient, and collaborative leadership; coupled with a desire to look at a range of different forms of service delivery.” The ad says the ideal chief administrative officer will be open minded, have at least five years of demonstrated senior accomplishment in the local government or private sector and be able to demonstrate experienced leadership resulting in new cost effective solutions. “Simply put, the mayor and council are looking for good value for money spent,” the posting notes.

“In some cases, it’s a closure, in some cases it’s a consolidation of a couple of buildings or relocation,” Anaka said. “It’s important to note though in none of those instances are we actually leaving the community, we’re just changing how we deliver services to our customers in those areas.” In a second quarter re-

lease, the company reduced the workforce by 1,100 people, 24 per cent of which were B.C.-based jobs, Anaka said. Thursday’s announcement is in addition to a previously stated plan to shut down 16 locations across Western Canada by mid2016, as the company noted that third quarter revenues are down 16 per cent, mostly

driven by a 35 per cent reduction in new equipment sales. From an overall standpoint, the report also noted that gross profit margins in nearly all aspects of company operations were down due to difficult market conditions, customer focus on cost reductions and a weak Canadian dollar. “In line with significant

Paris Attacks: The Terrorist Strategy As always after a major terrorist attack on the West, the right question to ask after the slaughter in Paris is: what were the strategic aims behind the attack? This requires getting your head around the concept that terrorists have rational strategies, but once you have done that the motives behind the attacks are easy to figure out. It also becomes clear that the motives have changed. The 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001 followed the classical terrorist strategy of trying to trick the target government into over-reacting in ways that ultimately serve the terrorists’ interests. Al-Qaeda’s goal was to sucker the United States into invading Muslim countries. Al Qaeda was a revolutionary organisation whose purpose was to overthrow existing Arab governments and take power in the Arab countries, which it would then reshape in accord with its extreme Islamist ideology. The trouble was that Islamist movements were not doing very well in building mass support in the Arab world, and you need mass support if you want to make a revolution. Osama bin Laden’s innovation was to switch the terrorist attacks from Arab governments to Western ones, in the hope of luring them into invasions that would radicalise large number of Arabs and drive them into the arms of the Islamists. His hopes were fulfilled by the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. Once the Western troops went in, there was a steep decline in terrorist attacks on Western countries. Al-Qaeda wanted Western troops to stay in the Middle East and radicalise the local populations, so it made no sense to wage a terrorist campaign that might make Western countries pull their troops out again. The resistance in Iraq grew quickly and

and attracted Islamist fighters from many other Arab countries. The organisation originally known as “Al-Qaeda in Iraq” underwent several name changes, to “Islamic State in Iraq” in 2006; then to “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria” – ISIS for short – in 2013, and finally to simply “Islamic State” in 2014. But the key personnel and the long-term goals remained the same throughout. The man who now calls himself the “Caliph” of Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Bahdadi, first joined “Al-Qaeda in Iraq” and started fighting the US ocGwynne cupation forces in Iraq in 2004. But along the way Dyer the strategy changed, for ISIS eventually grew so strong that it conquered the extensive territories in Syria and Iraq that now make up Islamic State. Popular revolutions were no longer needed. The core strategy now is simply conquest. In that case, why are Islamic State and Al-Qaeda still attacking Western targets? One reason is because the jihadi world is now split between two rival jihadi franchises that are competing for supporters. The split happened in 2013, when ISIS, having launched a very successful branch operation in Syria known as the Nusra Front, tried to bring it back under the control of the parent organisation. The Syrian branch resisted, and appealed to Al-Qaeda, the franchise manager of both jihadi groups, for support. Al-Qaeda backed the Syrians, whereupon ISIS broke its links with Al-Qaeda and set up as a direct competitor. ISIS and the Nusra Front then fought a three-month war in early 2014 that killed several thousand militants and left the former in control of most of eastern Syria. Soon afterwards ISIS overran most of western Iraq and renamed itself Islamic State. Islamic State and Al-Qaeda’s local fran-

chise, the Nusra Front, are currently observing a ceasefire in Syria, but the two brands are still in a bitter struggle for the loyalty of jihadi groups elsewhere in the Muslim world. Spectacular terrorist operations against Western targets appeal to both franchises because they are a powerful recruiting tool in jihadi circles. But Islamic State has a further motive: it actually wants Western attacks on it to cease. It’s a real state now, with borders and an army and a more or less functional economy. It doesn’t want Western forces interfering with its efforts to consolidate and expand that state, and it hopes that terrorist attacks on the West may force them to pull out. France is a prime target because French aircraft are part of the Western-led coalition bombing Islamic State, and because it’s relatively easy to recruit terrorists from France’s large, impoverished and alienated Muslim minority. Russia has also become a priority target since its aircraft started bombing jihadi troops in Syria, and the recent crash of a Russian airliner in Sinai may be due to a bomb planted by Islamic State. So the outlook is for more terrorist attacks wherever Islamic State (and, to a lesser extent, Al-Qaeda) can find willing volunteers. Western countries with smaller and better integrated Muslim communities are less vulnerable than France, but they are targets too. Putting foreign ground troops into Syria would only make matters worse, so the least bad option for all the countries concerned is to ride the terrorist campaign out. Horrendous though the attacks are, they pose a very small risk to the average citizen of these countries.

The unremembered Croatian “My memory is what I forget with.” Anonymous.

uring last summer, I think it was, I was sitting in my little Honda Civic outside a large grocery store trying to figure out something like ‘how do I get this damn seat-belt undone’ when I became aware of a shadow cast by some huge guy who was standing by my door. I twisted my neck and looked up at the fellow quizzically (I am good at that) and became aware that he was riffling through something that looked like hundreds of bills, big denominations. I wound down the window and said something witty like, “You don’t owe me a thing, honest.” “I am going to Croatia,” said the large man with the loot, as if that explained everything. “Why not take a credit card?” I suggested reasonably. “People do.” And then I added, “I think I was in Croatia some time back.” I wasn’t too sure about the Croatia bit but I had been in the old Yugoslavia some forty five years earlier and I was positive Croatia was there somewhere. The fellow, still looming over me as I struggled to get out of the car, didn’t explain why he wasn’t going to pack a credit card. “You’ll get mugged, “ I suggested cheerfully as I eased by the man.

He grinned and patted his expansive belly and told me he’d secrete the cash in ‘his fanny pack’. To this day, I have no idea that man chose to tell me all about his ambitions and future travels. I didn’t think I knew him; he wasn’t an ex-student or a lawyer, or someone to whom I owed money. “I was born over there,” said the man with the ready cash in large bills, “Going back for a visit.” Peter I was struggling to find the shopping list Warland that I had laboured over earlier and, at the same time, trying to recall the few phrases I had learned on our trip to Yugoslavia almost fifty years before. I found the list, slipped by the guy and reasoned that the phrases that I might actually remember would probably not be the right ones for this man. After Tito kicked the proverbial bucket, Yugoslavia is now again half a dozen different countries where the people often fight each other, have different religions and speak different languages. I recalled the place where we’d camped with the kids for a week; it was called Krk, no vowels. We’d struggled in German and big smiles, waving our arms about as they are inclined to do in foreign countries. Meanwhile, as I was gathering my thoughts, the large man with the cash disappeared and I had forgotten all about

Letters to the Editor

him until last week. This time, I was sitting, near the entrance of a large box store, exhausted from shopping without buying anything but two bananas when, suddenly, the man was standing there, all affable and looming over me once more. He said (I thought), “Haven’t seen you since we met in Croatia.” This befuddled my already befuddled mind (from shopping) although the fellow was vaguely familiar, but I certainly had no recollections of meeting any Canadian in the one-time Yugoslavia forty years before. At the place where we’d camped for a week, we’d communicated with identical twin pregnant ladies who, between them, handled six or more languages with alacrity. The trouble had been, sorting out the one that spoke English. In the box store, this unremembered apparent Croatian was patient with the idiot who didn’t seem to understand him (me) but, finally, we sorted it out. He was the man who had shown me all that money last summer; he had made his trip; he hadn’t been mugged; he had been as far south as Bosnia and Montenegro but had stayed away from Serbia, drawing his finger suggestively across his throat as he said so. Anyway, to my unremembered friend, I’ll try the following: Dobar da. Kako ste? Ja ne razumjen. That is about all I can recall from over forty years ago when we stayed at Krk which, I think, is in Croatia.

His Hope Uganda, Transforming Lives F or t he Towns man

A Cranbrook woman who has been working in Uganda and started a sponsorship program will be sharing stories on Nov. 28. Kimi Toyota began “His Hope Uganda” in 2009. It is a sponsorship program to provide education to needy children. Her pursuit was that of getting children back into school. Since its quiet beginning, the work of His Hope Uganda has been transforming lives, both in East Africa and Canada. Toyota grew up in Cranbrook and graduated from Mt. Baker. At age 23, she behind a comfortable life of employment in Calgary’s Children’s Hospital, as well as snowboarding, movies and enjoying the typical pursuits of a 23 year old. In 2007, she and a friend decided to visit Uganda after seeing a heart breaking movie about child soldiers. After a quick two weeks working with nine children in a home in Jinja, Uganda, she returned for a seven month stay. Upon returning to Canada, the home suddenly closed due to corruption and the nine children Toyota now called family were abruptly sent back to their scattered villages. Then in 2009, she began the sponsorship program with her initial eight children. By the end of that first year, the number had grown to 47, sponsored mostly by Cranbrook families who attended the local Alliance Church. The ministry has been transforming since its inception with each year bringing new opportunities. In 2010, Kimi noticed that the home of one the children who was constantly sick was in hazardous shape with one of its mud, stick and dung walls periodically falling in, a leaky roof, mold and rats. She and her staff of three Ugandans decided to build a new home of brick with a metal roof. So began an endeavour that has now replaced 39 unsafe structures and built 40 sanitary drop toilets. In 2011, teams began to arrive, first from Canada and later from En-

The smile of Hobaida breaks through his terrible scarring Children’s Hospital, feed close to 500 and spend time to pray with each of the patients, an especially emotional time due to the horrid

conditions of medical care. By 2015, the number of sponsored children who were being provided schooling as well as

medical attention had grown to 152. The work of transformation is perhaps most evident in caring for medical needs. Diana is

one of countless examples. She first grabbed the attention of Kimi and the staff through her obvious inactivity. While other kids responded to the team’s visit with typical enthusiasm and joy, Diana sat on the ground with empty eyes and an appearance that suggested she was merely awaiting death. Because she was crippled and suffered from a serious heart condition, she was left out. With medical attention, regular food and loads of love, Diana has been transformed into a delightful child whose laughter inspires and who readily shares smiles that were once so foreign to her. She is now the recipient of prayers from around the world and awaits complicated heart surgery, hopefully in England. Hobaida and Swaibil are two brothers who have also been transformed through four years of love and attention. They both suffered from a severe form of skin cancer that ate away at their facial features and caused swelling of the tongue and eyes that has required that their tongues be cut open numerous times to prevent choking. Today, though still carrying serious scarring, they’re in school and thriving with joy and enthusiasm. Transformation has also been the experience of the many from Canada and the U.S. who have joined teams that have served in Uganda for two week periods. Almost all have the desire to return and many have done so. On Saturday, November 28, Kimi will be sharing stories and videos of her latest adventures in her new African home. Dessert will be served and a massive Silent Auction will offer goods and services worth over $12,000. The event will be held at Cranbrook Alliance Church at 6:30, with admission set at $5 per person. All are welcome. For one of only 200 tickets to this entertaining and informative event, please contact Gary Toyota at 250-4268645.

Teach online safety in school, experts say Tom Fletcher Black Press

Instruction to protect children from “cyberbullying” should be included in B.C.’s new school curriculum, according to a new report from the province’s independent child welfare and privacy officers. The B.C. government’s school anti-bullying program was put in place in June 2012. Four months later, 15-year-old Amanda Todd posted a video of her online treatment before she killed herself at her Port Coquitlam home, putting an international face on the dangers faced by young people socializing online. In 2013, Nova Scotia teen Rehtaeh Parsons was also driven to suicide after explicit pictures of her were circulated on social media. Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond and Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham surveyed the laws and strategies in place inside and outside B.C. since then. “The circumstances leading to the deaths of these two young women highlight the significant pain and suffering young people can endure when they are faced

Amanda Todd’s video and suicide at age 15 became an international symbol for the dangers of online bullying. with repeated cruel treatment by their peers through online means,” Denham and Turpel-Lafond conclude. Their report, presented Friday to the B.C. government, calls for

more measures in schools in addition to the ERASE (Expect Respect And a Safe Education) strategy put in place in 2012. That strategy provides for anonymous reporting by students or parents of bullying, ei-

ther online or in person. The report calls for the education ministry to “ensure that developmentally appropriate learning objectives about cyberbullying and digital citizenship be included in

the provincial school curriculum and delivered to all school-age children as soon as possible.” Education Minister Mike Bernier said Friday the new school curriculum, which began implementation this fall, already includes “a focus on bullying behaviour and discrimination starting in Grade 4.” Bernier said in a statement the ministry has developed resources for teachers, with course objectives for different grades “about cyberbullying, internet safety, privacy and security, relationships and communication.” Denham and Turpel-Lafond cite research showing that 99 per cent of young people have online access outside of school, and that by Grade 11, more than half sleep with their phones nearby so they can exchange messages at night. They caution against parental efforts to monitor young people’s communications around the clock, or to cut off their access. “For young people, halting use of social media, websites, cellphones or email accounts is an impractical solution,” the report states. “It would be equivalent to house arrest and social deprivation.”

Gang violence on upswing this year Jeff Nagel Black Press

Gang violence has shot up this year in B.C. after a two-year lull. There have been 30 gang-linked murders and attempted murders as of June 30, nearly twice as many as the 18 in all of 2014 and up from 24 in 2013. Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett said many of the incidents were in Surrey or Delta, where B.C.’s anti-gang police unit worked closely with local officers to suppress conflict between rival groups, with success later in the year. “Street level drug traffickers brazenly shot at each other from moving vehicles and engaged in gun battles on our roads putting the community at risk,” Hackett said. His comments were published this week in the CFSEU’s 2015 community report. It can be found at bc-anti-gang. com. According to statistics released in the report, the average age of a gang violence victim is 25 years old, which is younger than in previous years. The youngest victim this year was 15,

while the oldest was 66. Over the past 10 years, there have been 15 female victims of gang violence and there have been 35 mass gang shootings (involving multiple victims of gun violence at one location) claiming 85 victims. Significant arrests have been made this year. Two men face charges in connection with a series of arsons and shootings in previous years targeting staff of the Justice Institute of B.C. Hackett also cited the arrests of two extremely violent and prolific dangerous offenders from Edmonton in the Lower Mainland who were tied to crimes in B.C. and Alberta, including murders, attempted murders and violent home invasions involving the torture and mutilation of victims. Hackett said a joint forces operation led by the CFSEU was needed because the “brazen and transient” crime group posed a higher risk to public safety. In the courts, the trial of three men for the 2011 murder of gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna is expected to

Carol Kinnear, whose 22-year-old daughter Brianna was shot to death in Coquitlam in 2009, speaks out in a new End Gang Life video released by B.C.’s anti-gang police unit. get underway next spring. The community report features one young woman’s insider story of life within a gang – packaging cocaine for sale, acting as a cross-coun-

try drug mule and growing increasingly terrified as risks escalate and drug deals go wrong. Early on she had been seduced by the lifestyle, befriending gang members, includ-

ing two young men who would later end up dead off Colebrook Road in Surrey. “That’s literally where gangster dreams go to die,” she said. The unnamed woman describes an

open casket funeral of one of the young victims – a deliberate choice of his parents to show the bullet through his head. She was one of the lucky ones who has escaped the life. Less fortunate was Brianna Kinnear who once reassured her worried mom “They don’t murder girls.” The 22-year-old was found shot to death in a pickup truck in Coquitlam in 2009. Her murder is unsolved and her tearful mother is featured in a new CFSEU video. The report also highlights two Abbotsford high school students who were executed in 2009 on Sumas Mountain as examples of adolescents lured by the temptation of a luxury lifestyle fueled by drug cash. “They were not high-level drug lords,” the report says of the slain Grade 12s from W. J. Mouat Secondary School. “They were two kids who wanted to be able to pay for a limousine to get to prom.” It says B.C. teachers are reporting children as young as nine asking 11-year-olds on elementary school playgrounds who they can

talk to about selling some drugs. Prevention remains a major focus of the CFSEU, which continues to press its End Gang Life initiative with school presentations and emotional videos from former gang members or surviving loved ones. The province has committed new funding for 35 additional presentations of the CFSEU’s End Gang Life presentation to school students in the Lower Mainland, the Okanagan and Vancouver Island. The sessions aim to demystify the tactics of gang recruiters and better equip kids to resist them. They’re led by former gang member Jordan Buna, who served time in jail before becoming a spokesman for the End Gang Life program. “Even though I was lucky and got out, being part of a gang was a death sentence for most of the people I knew. That is the reality of gang life,” Buna said. “It robbed me of so many opportunities and exposed me to horrifying scenes that I will never forget.”

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am 17, married, with a 1-year-old daughter. I am doing amazingly well for a teen mom. My husband and I have a house and car, I’m finishing school, and we are both working. Before we moved into our house, we lived with my husband’s father and brother. When my brother-in-law expressed interest in getting a dog, I told him that wouldn’t be possible because my daughter is allergic. He became furious and attacked me with a knife. I left the house with my daughter and stayed with my mom until we found our current place. I decided to be the bigger person and let the situation pass. But recently, my father-in-law’s electricity was shut off and they ended up homeless. So my husband and I decided to let the two of them stay with us until they can get back on their feet. We asked them to pay $150 toward rent and insisted that there be no smoking in the house or near my child or me. I recently discovered that my brotherin-law is smoking pot regularly at school. I told his father that if I drug test him and it comes out positive, they are gone. But, Annie, it went in one ear and out the other. I am so frustrated. I want my brotherin-law out of the house now, and no one is listening to me. I don’t know what to do. -- Trying to be the GrownUp Dear Trying: If possession of pot is illegal in your state, then your brotherin-law is putting your entire household at risk if he keeps the stuff in your home. Otherwise, if he is smoking pot only at school, he is technically following your rules. Where is your husband in all this? He should be supportive of your position. Both of you should be helping your in-laws move into their own place as soon as possible. Do they need assistance finding jobs? Finding affordable housing? Give them a hand with those issues and you will also be helping yourself. Dear Annie: I taught first grade for 20 years. At the beginning of each school year, after the kids were settled into our classroom, I would have them sit in front of me as they would for story time. I would tell them that I was going to do something that they would NEVER see me do again. Then I would pick my nose. It wasn’t long before all of the kids made grimacing faces and sounds indicating their discomfort. I would then say, “It doesn’t look any better when you do it.” Then we would talk a little about it and how they could handle this problem, if necessary, in private. After that, I would get up and thoroughly wash my hands. Not a single first-grader ever picked his or her nose in front of me. I always hoped it carried over into the rest of their lives. -- Retired Teacher Dear Teacher: You obviously made quite an impression. This technique might not work today, when any parent passing by your classroom (or hearing about it from their child) might lodge a complaint. But most people who pick their noses would be appalled to see themselves the way others do. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Everyone eats comfort food. For many of us it may be traditional or familiar food that we ate in our childhood home. Sometimes we reach for comfort food when we may not even

eating until we become so full that it hurts. Instead of feeling comforted, we can end up feeling badly about ourselves for eating so much. Then, to manage these feelings, we convince ourselves that we had to eat this food to feel better. It can become an unhealthy cycle. Taking a moment to think about how much comfort food we eat, why we reach for comfort foods and what kind of comfort we seek

one-time-only emergent needs; • $3,000 to assist in travel costs for staff providing services to members in remote communities. In May, the B.C. government provided $3 million in funding over three years to the Brain Injury Alliance which has distributed funding to organizations in two stages. In the first stage, $10,000 was provided to each of B.C.’s 16 community-based, non-profit brain-injury service providers to help with operational costs. In the second stage, brain-injury organizations in B.C. receive

funding based on applications for programs specific to their needs. These organizations run programs and services to help reduce the incidence of injury or directly help those affected by brain injuries. “The West Kootenay Brain Injury Association does vital work that improves the lives of people affected by brain injury,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “This funding ensures the organization is able to maintain and expand the services it provides to clients in both East and West Kootenays, which makes a positive impact on our commu-

nities.” “On behalf of the board, staff and all of WKBIA, we are excited about this opportunity to provide an exceptional level of service delivery to all of our members,” said Robyn Bogue, executive director of the West Kootenay Brain Injury Association. “We extend our sincerest thanks to the provincial government, the Brain Injury Alliance and to our membership and families for the gift of walking with them on their recovery journey.” To learn more about the Brain Injury Alliance, go to: www.braininjuryalliance.ca.

The City of Cranbrook has been busy updating our Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The Plan will guide the planning, design and use of parks, trails, recreation facilities, and community programs/services for the next 10 years. The last plan was prepared in 1995 and set the framework for the facilities we now enjoy, such as Rotary Way Cycle/Walk trail, and the new arena and aquatic centre. The consulting firm for the Master Plan is Urban Systems.
