Boys and Girls Club is getting a new ride.

The club is the re-cipient of a new black 15-passenger van thanks to a collabora-tive effort between Minute Muffler and Signal Collision.

“We really appreci-ate this generous do-nation from Minute Muffler and Signal Col-lision because we are transporting kids on a daily basis from pick-ing up kids from school and taking them on daily outings in our community,” said Lori McNeill, executive di-

rector with the Boys and Girls Club.

Spearheaded by Clint Habart (Minute Muffler) and D’Arcy Giberson (Signal Colli-sion), the two decided to pool resources to purchase a new vehicle for the club.

“I’ve been main-taining their vehicles for four years or better now. I usually don’t charge them anything so I’ve just be donating all the repairs to the Boys and Girls Club vans,” said Habart.

“As these vans are getting older, I’m feel-ing crappier and crap-pier about the kids in

the community having to ride in these old beater vans.

“I’ve been looking around to buy them better vans.”

He eventually teamed up with Giber-son to split the cost of a van to donate to the club.

“Quite some time ago, Clint and myself had talked about doing something like this and it was actually Clint who decided to approached me with the idea to support the Boys and Girls Club,” said Giberson. “To be honest with you, the words weren’t even

New van for Boys and Girls clubcompletely out of his mouth and I was saying absolutely.

“I was so 100 per cent on board with supporting that group.”

Rick Orza also

helped out with van decals, which feature logos for the club, as well as Minute Muffler and Signal Collision.

And this could be the first of many chari-

table endeavours be-tween the two, as they have a desire to give back to the communi-ty.

“We’ve already talk-ed about that and

whether it’s also the Boys and Girls Club or if we venture into something else, I’m not really 100 per cent sure, but I’m definitely on board,” said Giberson.

City crews work to repair a water pipe that burst on Friday morning in the 200-block of 12th Ave up on Baker Hill.

SubmittedColumbia Basin Trust is asking

Basin residents where it should focus its efforts to best support residents and communities in the Columbia Basin, now and into the future.

People who live in and around Kimberley and Cranbrook are invited to join the conversation at one of two community workshops. All ages are welcome, and participants have a chance to win $1,000 to donate to a local non-profit.

• Kimberley: Wednesday, January 14, Centennial Hall, 4 to 5:30 p.m.: drop in any time. 5:30 to 8 p.m.: dinner and facilitated conversation

• Cranbrook: Tuesday, January 20, Railway Museum, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.: drop in any time. 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.: light lunch and facilitated conversa-tion. 4 to 5:30 p.m.: drop in any time. 5:30 to 8 p.m.: dinner and facilitated conversation.

“Since mid-September, the Trust has visited 16 Basin communities,

gathering feedback about what’s im-portant to residents,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust President and CEO. “Economic development and diversification, agriculture and food security, ecosystem restoration and conservation, and affordable hous-ing—these are just some of the themes that have been highlighted, and we look forward to continuing our en-gagement process to understand what’s important to communities.”

Residents can also give input in other ways. They can catch Trust staff at booths set up in public spaces, or send comments by mail. They can host their own conversations with friends or family, or ask the Trust to meet with a local group or organiza-tion. Email [email protected] to obtain a do-it-yourself workbook or set up a meeting.

They are also encouraged to share thoughts and ideas online by visiting the Trust’s interactive website at ourt-rustourfuture.cbt.org.

“We don’t have spe-cific information in terms of the type of me-chanical failure that oc-curred, at this time. It was removed from the highway yesterday and is currently going through a thorough in-spection to determine the cause,” . Gipson told the Echo on Friday, Jan-uary 9.

There were two pas-senger onboard the bus at the time the bus broke down. Both passengers and the driver were tax-ied to Cranbrook by Greyhound immediate-ly after the mechanical failure occurred, which allowed the passengers to continue along their trip on schedule from Cranbrook on another

Greyhound bus.“Because we are a

ground transportation company, road failures occasionally occur. I don’t have an exact fig-

ure for how often it hap-pens. However, we do pre- and post-trip in-spections of our coach-es to try to avoid these types of issues the best

we can,” said. Gipson.Orange pylons had

been set around the bus, which was pulled over on the west side of the road.

Arne Pe tryshenThis month, the business rec-

ognized for supporting diversity in the workplace is M&K Plumb-ing and Heating Co. Ltd.

For the past few month, the Daily Townsman has featured businesses and their employees recognized by the Cranbrook So-ciety for Community Living’s Employment Options Team.

A recognized business re-ceives a Diversity @ Work sticker to display in its window. The sticker is meant to encourage the community to patronize busi-nesses participating in diversifi-cation.

The Diversity @ Work sticker

is awarded after an employer has employed an individual with a developmental disability for a minimum of three months

The Cranbrook Society for Community Living’s Employ-ment Options Team presented the sticker to M&K Plumbing and Heating on Friday, Jan. 9.

James MacFarlane has worked at M&K for five years and said he really enjoys the job. MacFarlane works around the shop — clean-ing, sweeping and keeping things tidy.

The CSCL seeks to enrich the quality of life for individuals with developmental disabilities.

The BC EmployNet team,

along with the Provincial Net-working Group, developed the program to recognize employers who support a diverse work-place.

BC EmployNet is a unified network committed advancing employment support practices.

The Provincial Networking Group Inc works to address so-cial services needs in various re-gions across B.C.

For more information about the Cranbrook Society for Com-munity Living or its employment options department go to www.cranbrookscl.ca, call 250-426-7588 or email [email protected].

F o r t h e to w n s m A nThe 2015 winter semester is un-

derway at College of the Rockies and all indications are it will be a successful one. At this point, the College is seeing a substantial in-crease in enrolments over the 2014 winter semester in the university transferable programs (Arts, Sci-ence, Business, Tourism and Kinesi-ology).

This is the second year in a row that the university transfer pro-grams are seeing increases in enrol-ments, with Tourism, Kinesiology and Business seeing the largest growth.

College of the Rockies Registrar, DJ Silva is especially pleased to see the continued growth of university transfer courses. “This indicates that students continue to see us a viable option for starting their uni-versity education. Smaller class sizes, affordable tuition and the ability to stay at home for the first year or two of their post-secondary journey make starting at the College an appealing choice.

“Many former students say the level of education they received, be-cause of the individual attention available from instructors – many of whom have PhDs - is superior to what they would receive at a larger institution,” she says.

Other factors have contributed to the growth in enrolments for the winter semester. “Enrolments in

online courses are up this term and continue to be a convenient option for many students. Our Child, Youth and Family Studies program, which can be taken entirely online, has seen growth for the second consec-utive year. International student en-rolments also continue to be very strong after a record-breaking in-crease last fall,” Silva adds.

The higher enrolment numbers do not mean it is too late to sign up, however. Many programs will con-tinue to accept registrations until Monday, January 19. Go to cotr.ca to learn more.

Slopes for Hope, a day of skiing and boarding in support of the Canadian Cancer Society, was born in Kimberley five years ago, and has since spread to ski hills across British Colum-bia.

The challenge is to ski or board the height of Mt. Everest in one day, but each year or-ganizers keep the event interesting by adding more activities. Last year a Nordic Trek was added by the Kimber-ley Nordic Club — a 30 km ski on the Nordic Trails. That addition

was a great success and will be offered again this year.

And another event has been added for the 2015 Slopes for Hope, which is scheduled for February 28, 2015 at the Kimberley Alpine Resort and the Kimber-ley Nordic Club.

This year, in addi-tion to the downhill and Nordic challenges, the extra fit will be challenged to a vertical Everest climb. The challenge will be to Snowshoe or ski tour up North Star Moun-tain to the Kootenay Haus. A two loop course will be set up

the Boundary ski run at the Kimberley Alpine Resort.

As a partner to Slopes for Hope, the Kimberley Alpine Re-sort offers half price lift tickets to participants, with the first 20 to reg-ister receiving free lift tickets. Those skiing and riding for Slopes for Hope also get prior-ity lift access, so no lineups. There are also free day passes to the Kimberley Nordic Trails for participants on the day of the event thanks to the support of the Kimberley Nor-dic Club

You can participate individually or as part of teams of up to four persons.

Here’s the lineup for the day. Date: Satur-day, February 28, 2015

Time: 9am - 4pm Location: Kimberley

Alpine Resort & Kim-berley Nordic Club

9 am - Event Regis-tration and Free Break-

fast at The Stemwinder at Kimberley Alpine Resort

9:30 am - Opening Ceremonies & partici-pant mandatory event

safety meeting 12 pm - Free barbe-

cue3 pm - New Indoor

Closing Ceremonies at The Stemwinder, prizes awarded within each Everest challenge cate-gory to the top fund-raisers (min. of $100 raised) plus the courageous head shav-ing event in support of Kimberley’s Tim Besold

4 pm - Official after party at The Stemwind-er. Event slide show and live music.

Transportation to the Kimberley Nordic Club provided by Sim-ply Kimberley from 9:45am-3:15 p.m.

Last year’s Slopes for Hope in Kimberley raised $40,000 and the goal is to exceed that this year.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

Pat ChisholmSo many children re-

quire specialized medical attention these days or so it appears.

Cranbrook, with the opening of the Kootenay Childhood Development Centre, now has pediatri-cians and a host of other programs such as the In-fant Development Pro-gram supporting children and their parents. Speech and language pathologists are among the specialists Cranbrook is lucky to have close to home.

Due to new technolo-gy referrals to nonlocal doctors or agencies can be accessed through video conferencing keep-ing costs down and treat-ment local.

However there are times when a child needs to be treated elsewhere because our medical ser-vices simply cannot han-dle the situation — a pre-mature baby airlifted to Kelowna, a child with a severe head injury flown to Vancouver, cancer treatments with a six month hospital stay in Calgary are just a few of the situations where chil-dren and their families needed to access care be-yond our community. In 2012, East Kootenay chil-dren attended 1,334 med-ical appointments and were hospitalized on 114 occasions in Alberta alone.

Families accessing medical services for their children face stress, anxi-ety, life disruptions and

financial hardship. The average cost for a Cran-brook family for a one-day medical appointment in Calgary is $320 includ-ing gas, accommodation, parking and food. Some families may be able to afford a single visit; how-ever, for those children

requiring follow up ap-pointments and ongoing specialized medical ser-vices over an extended period of time, the finan-cial burden becomes sig-nificant.

The registered charity, Friends of Children sup-ports East Kootenay fam-

ilies with financial assis-tance for items such as accommodation, travel costs, parking, and meals. By the end of October 2014, Friends of Children received 172 family re-quests and approved $35,000 in funding. This represents a 30% increase

from 2013.In addition to provid-

ing financial assistance, Friends of Children also helps families navigate the health care system by offering information, re-sources & coordination of services using links with other organizations. Through Friends of Chil-dren, families become aware of: accommoda-tions supports such as the BC Family Residence Program, Ronald Mc-Donald and Easter Seal Houses, connections at children’s hospitals like Family Resource Centres and social workers and other charities including Variety, Hope Air, Shri-ners Care Cruiser, Cops for Kids and Canadian Cancer Society. In this way, Friends of Children addresses the entire needs of the family.

Should your child or a child you know be facing travel for medical care, please do not hesitate to contact Friends of Chil-dren at:

Letters to the editorBudget Meeting

If you have an interest in where we’re going as a city you should come to Cran-brook City Council’s 2015 Budget meet-ings, which begin on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at 4:30pm.

One of the key questions for the new Council is how they will approach funding annual grants to organizations, which are very important if you care about the arts, culture, youth, Cranbrook’s less fortunate citizens, non-profit societies, the library, the Symphony, Key City Theatre, the Rail-way Museum — the list goes on.

From my perspective there is little point in having pothole-free streets (which will never happen in Cranbrook anyway) if there are fewer things of interest going on to drive to, and our neighbors are going hungry.

re-use shedsThe recycling/reuse sheds at the

Marysville Transfer Station are not work-ing out as well as I had hoped.

Why are the employees garbaging use-ful items that have been left in the sheds? Twice now I’ve watched goods I may have taken being placed in the backhoe buck-et.

The first time it was a large 2 x 3 ft. mir-ror in great condition, and the woman loading it said “It will just get broken any-way”.

A few days ago I reached into a box in the bucket and picked up a DVD. The same woman as before told me to put it back, so I did, as she threw another two boxes of mixed movies, books and maga-zines into her bucket and drove them to the garbage. What’s wrong here?

Didn’t someone leave those movies there for someone like me? When I ques-tioned her, she said that some items

should not be seen anyway. She said the employees did not need to monitor the shed (what did she mean?)

She also said that they would like to get rid of the first shed. It does seem as though the sheds are usually quite empty, but perhaps more of it is being garbaged. The rising cost of dealing with garbage should be reason enough to encourage more reuse, not less.

If perfectly good items are being rou-tinely put in the garbage, then our Recy-cling/Reuse Program is not doing what I would expect. I’d like to hear from others who have had similar experiences.

Thirty-five years ago I began recycling, and I sure thought we would do better by now.

I’m still waiting for a call from the CRD employee responsible for the Station.

The early years

PAGE 6 MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 2015

Early last year, I think it was, that I re-ceived an e-mail from one of my sister’s four daughters-in-law asking for details of my sister Pam’s wedding, way back in the 1950s. My feeble mind was immediately boggled.

Firstly, I happen to be a man and men seem to have only feeble memories of their own weddings, let alone such miniscule details as the co-lour of bridesmaids’ dress-es. Most men I know can’t recall the colour of their own suits when they were wed.

I checked my own wedding pictures, circa 1951. My lovely bride is wearing a long white dress; I am sporting a double-breast-ed suit which appears to be grey. In fact, everything in that portrait seems to be shades of grey, even the bridal bouquet. I guess colour hadn’t been invented back then, or had been wiped out by the recent war. I am not sure if my bride had brides-maids.

Since my own nuptials I have attended several weddings which, although possibly were a strain on the combatants and their families, I found amusing. I do recall a cer-emony in Invermere where, because as usual we were late, we were seated behind the vicar and could watch the faces of those being wed and so were able see the reac-tions of the groom being counselled by the vicar and attempting to put a serious, atten-

tive look on his face; he was a high school counsellor at the time.   

Anyway, in an attempt to do some seri-ous research into my sister’s wedding I turned over a few thousand albums but found little of any help so I made up a de-scription of that fateful event for the four

sons, their spouses and their off-spring to enjoy at the diamond anniversary party in Toronto. It went something like this:

DING DONGThere was an evil combi-

nation of March winds and April showers that day back

in 1953 when my little sister married her Clifford. Pamela wasn’t blushing as befitted a virgin bride but she was wearing some-thing white that skilfully concealed her delicate state, while Clifford was jammed into a suit that, possibly, he actually owned.

The bridesmaids were in traditional pink and carried flowers of some sort, probably purloined from somebody’s front garden or the church’s graveyard.

There was a bit of a mess up over the hired cars so that several aunts arrived in a hearse and some of them looked as if they might be cheating death by having been embalmed.

Clifford, although dashingly handsome, was also ashen when he almost choked on the beer-stained tie that he had borrowed from a cousin, who had been in the R.A.F. and actually owned more than one.

The rite of passage took place at a church of some sort and the vicar who pre-sided sounded as if he’d recently and reluc-tantly converted from some other religion. He didn’t counsel and muttered quite a bit so, after the ceremony was over, some wag suggested that, despite the rigmarole, Pam and Cliff possibly weren’t really married properly. Their four boys should probably mull this possibility over when they regain sobriety.

Various other relatives from both fami-lies rolled up on trams and buses all anx-ious for the bean-feast and free booze. The women wore flowery dresses and funny hats, unearthed from before the war, while their menfolk sported their Sunday best but looked uncomfortable so ‘ponced’ up and not sporting their normal caps. It is assumed that everyone present wore clean underwear for that auspicious occasion, just in case.

If some of my statements about that day are vague and even wrong, it is due to the fact that this all took place over sixty years ago and my lovely spouse and I were not there. We has already attended a wedding that day (March was appropriate due to taxation trickery) and were probably hitch-hiking, and some of you know how uncertain that can be but, be assured, there was a right good ‘knees-up’ later.

Those who actually owned cars at that time had them impounded until the fol-lowing morning, just in case.

Congratulations from Uncle Pete.

Nothing like brotherly loveRookie Cale Fleury silences older brother with first-career goal; Ice drop back-to-back games to Rebels & Blades

Kootenay Ice rookie defenceman Cale Fleury registered his first career WHL goal Friday night, silencing older brother, Red Deer Rebels defenceman Haydn Fleury.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Kootenay Ice de-fenceman Cale Fleury hit two birds with one stone when he scored during the third period of play against the Red Deer Rebels Friday night at Western Finan-cial Place.

The marker was the first of the 16-year-old blue-liner’s WHL career and he silenced his older brother, Rebels defenceman Haydn Fl-eury, in the process.

“Right before [he scored], I asked him what he was doing on the ice if they needed a goal,” Haydn said with a laugh Friday. “I guess I kind of ate that one, but it was good to see.”

With less than five minutes to play and the Ice trailing the Rebels 3-0, the younger Fleury stepped onto the ice with his team in search of some late life.

Luke Philp delivered a pass and rookie Cale Fleury slid one past Rebels goaltender Taz Burman to get his team on the scoreboard and claim his first-career WHL goal.

“[Haydn] was chirp-ing me a little bit during the face-off,” Cale said Friday. “It definitely felt pretty good to score right after that.”

Cale Fleury was the only Kootenay Ice to beat Burman Friday night, as the Rebels scraped out a 3-1 victory over their Central Divi-sion rivals from Cran-brook.

For the Rebels, Fri-day’s win served as a bit of retribution after suf-fering a defeat at the hands of the Ice last week at the Enmax Cen-trium.

“They took two points off us in our building, so we had to come back and do the same thing,” Haydn said. “They had Sam [Reinhart] back tonight, so that was another guy we had to focus on. We had to focus on their key guys and we did that to-night.”

Starting his 29th con-secutive game between the pipes, Hoflin made 19 stops in a losing ef-fort. At the other end of the rink, Burman

stopped 30 pucks for the win.

Recently acquired forward Connor Gay de-buted with his new team, assisting on Ko-peck’s marker for his point as a Red Deer Rebel. On the other side of the puck, it was Ice defenceman Lenny Hackman making his first appearance with his new team.

The Rebels finished the weekend by dispos-ing of the Eastern Con-ference’s top team, the Brandon Wheat Kings, by a final tally of 6-1 Sat-urday night.

“We’ve got to keep taking it day by day, fo-cusing on getting better each day and developing more as a team,” Haydn said. “This time of the year when it comes down to crunch time, every game is huge. We can’t look too far ahead.”

Following Friday’s setback to the Rebels, the Kootenay Ice were looking for redemption Saturday night against the Saskatoon Blades, the lowest-ranked team in the WHL.

Led by rookie goal-tender Brock Hamm, starting his first-career WHL game, the Blades sliced their way past the Ice 6-4.

“That team showed up ready to work,” Ice forward Luke Philp said of the Blades Saturday. “They played fast. They played hard. The bottom line is they deserved that one. We didn’t.”

The Blades, last in the league with 21 points heading into Sat-urday night, utilized a three-goal second peri-od to build a 4-3 advan-tage over the hosts, be-fore adding two more goals in the third period to make it 6-3.

Philp made the game interesting, scoring his 18th of the season with 3:33 to play in the regula-tion, but 6-4 was where it all finished when the final buzzer sounded.

Philp concluded the night with a goal and two assists.

Hamm turned aside 28 shots to earn his first-career WHL victory. The native of Saskatoon was called up to the Blades Jan. 5 after start-ing the season with the

Humboldt Broncos of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, going 9-10-0 with a 2.72 goals-against average and 0.918 save percentage.

Ice forward Levi Cable continued to col-lect the goals, registering his 18th and 19th of the season. The native of Hudson Bay, Sask., now sits second on the team in goal-scoring this sea-son, trailing Jaedon De-scheneau who leads the way with 21 goals.

“We’ve got to come ready to play, no matter who [our opponent] is,” Cable said Saturday night. “We’ve got to come out strong and we’ve got to play the whole game strong. It doesn’t matter who the opponent is.”

With 19 goals and 31 points through 39 games this season, Cable has already established a new career high in goals and is inching closer to the career mark he set with 34 points in 67 games during the 2012-13 campaign.

“I’ve had good line-mates all year,” Cable said. “They’ve been helping me out. A lot of my goals have been pret-ty lucky -- good bounces for me. Things have been going my way. It’s been good this year.”

Cameron Hebig scored what stood as the game-winning goal less than four minutes into the final period and Sam McKechnie added the extra insurance tally for the Blades.

Kootenay Ice goalten-der Wyatt Hoflin had the night off as Keelan Wil-liams started between the pipes for the first

time since since Oct. 22. Williams hadn’t played since Dec. 7 when he came on in relief of Hof-lin as the Ice fell 5-4 to the Tri-City Americans in Kennewick, Wash.

For Hoflin, the night off brought an end to his consecutive-appear-ances streak, which ran a franchise-record 29 games from Oct. 24, 2014 to Jan. 9, 2015.

Williams faced 41 shots from the Blades, stopping 35.

The Ice have lost three consecutive games. Next, they travel to Moose Jaw to face the Warriors Wednesday.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Avoid getting involved in a sit-uation where everyone is stuck in his or her own perspective. Veer away from this matter, and you will be much happier. You are wise not to want to tumble into a no-win situation. Tonight: Enjoy time with a loved one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your ability to resolve a prob-lem walks hand in hand with a new drive to accomplish an important goal. Whatever has been holding you back needs to be dissolved. Detach and look for a new, unthought-of path. Tonight: Choose a favorite way to relax. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might witness someone in your daily environment be-having in an angry way. The unexpected lurks when dealing with a higher-up or someone to whom you must answer. Follow your instincts. Tonight: Put in an extra hour or two to finish up paperwork.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be tired of the same old routine. Take news with a grain of salt. Detach before tak-ing action. You might be given a few hours to see a situation in a different light; take advantage of it. Avoid a controlling person-ality. Tonight: As you like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your mind is on overdrive, as you’ll be in a position where you must answer to several people at once. A partner or someone with whom you share financial interests could be more aggres-sive than in the past. Tonight: Hang out with a dear friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of the costs of pro-ceeding as you have. You know when enough is enough. You might wonder how to handle a partner or close associate who is becoming more assertive. Lis-ten to this person carefully be-fore passing judgment. Tonight: Say “yes” to an opportunity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Note a change of pace. Sudden-ly, you seem to have a surge of energy, and frustration could

surface rather quickly if you can’t accomplish what you want. Opportunities come from a friend. Start a new exercise program, if you can. Tonight: The more people, the better. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be overwhelmed by a child or loved one. You will need to energize yourself in or-der to meet his or her demands. Understand what is happening behind the scenes, and remain optimistic. You will see positive results come forward. Tonight: Ever playful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be full of energy, and you might want to take a different position on a person-al matter. You see life from a different perspective and have the ability to open up to new ideas. Interactions with others remain significant. Teamwork is emphasized. Tonight: Ask ques-tions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take news with a grain of salt. You could be in the position of taking the lead. Pressure builds because of a situation at home.

Be willing to adapt to different situations. A loved one seems to come through for you more often. Show your appreciation. Tonight: Make it cozy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take your time when evaluating a situation that is going on. You might want to rethink a person-al matter. Listen to someone else’s opinion without contrib-uting your own. Both of your approaches could be right, even if they’re different. Tonight: Read between the lines. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Deal with a partner directly. Listen to what is being shared, and share what you think needs to be dealt with. There could be a financial bias here that is adding to the friction. Priori-tize your plans, and be willing to change them if need be. To-night: Snuggle in.

Dear Annie: I am married to one of four siblings who dutifully took care of their aged parents until their mother died a few years ago. Daddy, in his mid-80s, met a bevy of women at his new upscale care facility and proposed marriage to one of them within two weeks. She turned him down, but a mu-tual friend accepted and she secretly mar-ried Daddy shortly thereafter. The woman has two children, both in pro-fessional jobs, one of whom is an attorney. At first, we liked the stepmother, laughed a bit and everyone got along well. But 18 months later, Daddy died and we discovered that he had drafted a document leaving his estate, worth almost a million dollars, to her. Now the stepmother will not answer any of our calls and hangs up if we somehow man-age to get through. We certainly feel slighted, but this woman is our legal stepmother and we would, with civility, like to make our case to her to use some of that money to help with our children’s college tuitions. How do we address her? -- Bombed in Birmingham Dear Bombed: Oh, my. We’re certain our readers will come up with many names you can call her, none of which are printable. Your 80-something father-in-law signed over his estate to a woman he barely knew, they married in secret, and it lasted a short time. This entire situation sounds fishy. You need a lawyer. Now. Dear Annie: I had been living with “Rafe” for 10 years until we split up several months ago. Recently, he called to say that his broth-er had died. I wanted to attend the funeral, but Rafe said he didn’t want me to be there because we weren’t together anymore. This made me upset and it hurt. Then he said his family probably wouldn’t want me there, either. Since I knew his brother, I feel I should have shown up and paid respects. What difference does it make if we’re togeth-er or not? I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel now. I am sensitive and Rafe doesn’t care that he hurts my feelings. -- Ex-Girl-friend Dear Ex: This isn’t about you. It is about Rafe and his family. If they were uncomfort-able having you at the funeral, it was right for you to stay away. It is natural that you want-ed to pay your respects, but their feelings come first. It would be very gracious of you to send a condolence card to Rafe and his family, expressing your sadness over their loss, and perhaps sharing a fond memory of Rafe’s brother. Dear Annie: I’d like to weigh in on servers calling people “Hon” or “Sweetheart.” I’m a widower in my late 60s. I agree almost entirely with those who dislike being called “Sweetie,” by servers. But the fact is, I have never had a young male address me in any way I found offensive. However, it is a daily ritual for me with the young ladies. I used to go to a coffee shop four times a week. About three years ago, as if someone flipped a switch, I began to be addressed as “Sweetie” or “Sweetheart.” It came with a condescending tone, too. I heard them address older women the same way. I quit going there. I took my late wife’s brother to our local steakhouse. The young hostess escorted us to the darkest corner and after we were seated, lit the table candle and said coyly, “This will make it more romantic for you guys.” Maybe these young females should get some sensitivity training before they are put into positions where they come into contact with the public. Just because we are over 60 doesn’t mean we suddenly need coddling. -- Sonora, California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

MARY MARUSYK1917 - 2014

Mary Marusyk, born Mary Karmalita/Karmas in Northern Valley, Alberta, and with her husband Walter a subsequent resident of Yellowknife NWT (1939), South Slocan BC (1943), Trail, BC (1944), Kimberley BC (1944) and Edmonton, AB (1994), passed away late on the evening of December 18, 2014, in the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton. Mary was predeceased by her father, George Karmas, in 1970, her mother, Lena, in 1936 and by her husband Walter in 1980. She is survived by her sons Raymond (Halyna) and Terry (Paula) of Edmonton, her grandchildren Adrienne (Perry), Jeremy (Jessica), Aaron (Kelly), Dan and Natasha (Tyler) and her great-grandchildren Ryan, Jeron, Michael, Preston, Parker and Lyla Rae.

Mary enjoyed life and the people around her and was known for her very good sense of humour. In Kimberley, she worked for many years at Tony Muraca’s Italian grocery store (where she learned rudimentary Italian) and at Aubrey Lloyd’s hardware store. Mary was very active in a number of fraternal and charity organizations during her time in Kimberley. Mary was also an accomplished pysanka artist (Ukrainian Easter eggs). She was asked to display some of her pysanka in a shop window and that became a annual event. Her pysanka skills were featured in several newspaper and magazine articles and on a BCTV program. Mary was an active hiker and took long, sometimes arduous, daily walks on trails in the East Kootenay area. In her later years, she travelled with her companion William Lane to many parts of Canada and the US. She moved to Edmonton in 1994 to be closer to her two sons.

Those wishing to remember Mary should look upwards to the constellation Andromeda and the star Maria Karmalita (RA 23h 18m 3.38 D 52° 5’ 42.22”) named after her on the occasion of her 85th birthday.

A private family event will be held to honour Mary’s life. In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.

Hi Wendy:I have written to

you before and you have helped me overcome some of my insecurities. You told me how to over-come my feelings of low self-esteem and I have been working on it. I feel I am sitting in a better place and I thank you and your guides for the information you have given me.

I met a man about 5 months ago and I re-member you telling me to listen to what my body says when meet-ing someone new and listen to my “gut” feel-ings. My feelings when I met this man were anxious. I thought I was being nervous be-cause of my past rela-tionships with other men.

I think I’m still ner-vous but I am feeling this man I am seeing can be quite con-trolling. Can your guides tell me if he has a controlling personali-ty and any information that may be valuable for me?

Feeling Deprived

Dear Feeling De-prived:

I asked my guides if the man you are seeing has a controlling per-sonality and the answer was a definite yes.

I don’t know if you know this but con-trolling people need to be in charge of every-one and everything that is around them. If they cannot get their way they will start to get angry and start “rat-tling” off snide remarks. A controlling person has a tendency to shout a lot until the other per-son gives in and obliges them to do whatever he wants. I don’t know if you noticed but this man that you are with has some of these traits.

It can be awfully un-pleasant and can make a person feel quite anx-ious if you are around this type of man. I feel this is what your gut feelings (which are your guides and angels) were telling you when you had first met him. We do not feel that your anxious feeling when meeting this man had anything to do with your past relationships with men.

We feel that you are getting anxious when you are around this man because he has a

tendency to insist on doing everything his way. He can also show passive aggressive be-haviour patterns if you do not do what he says. This is what we meant in the above paragraph by snide remarks. This type of behaviour you should be aware of can lead to emotional or physical abuse. We do not feel he is a physical abuser but we do feel he is an emotional abuser.

It has been my expe-rience that these types of people become this way because they great-ly fear abandonment, and the only way they can control their world is by controlling every-one and things around them. I don’t think you can alone help him with this issue. We defi-nitely feel he needs some professional help with this issue. We also feel that he will not be willing to get help at this time with this issue he has. The reason for this is because he thinks everyone else has the problem and he is just trying to be efficient. There is no point talking and arguing this point with this type of person because then you will be getting into a power struggle with him.

On a personal note I find power struggling with these types of con-trolling personalities to be quite tiring and ag-gravating. I try to keep my conversations as brief as possible, and tend to want to spend my time with more pleasant people. I find that this type of person-ality does nothing posi-tive in the long run for my self-esteem. You need to decide what you want to do with this relationship before you become more heavily involved with this man. We hope that this infor-mation may help you make the right choice for whom you really want to associate with in your life.

Wendy

AssociAted PressPARIS — Masses of

people joined with world leaders to fill Paris streets Sunday in a rally for unity that officials said was the largest demon-stration in French histo-ry. Hundreds of thou-sands more marched in cities around the country and the world to repudi-ate a three-day terror spree around the French capital that killed 17 peo-ple and left the three gunmen dead.

Their arms linked, more than 40 world leaders headed the som-bre procession — Israeli Prime Minister Benja-min Netanyahu and Pal-estinian President Mah-

moud Abbas; Ukrainian President Petro Poros-henko and Russian For-eign Minister Sergey Lavrov — setting aside their differences for a demonstration that French President Fran-cois Hollande said turned the city into “the capital of the world.”

Millions of people streamed through the streets behind them and across France to mourn the victims of deadly at-tacks on a satirical news-paper, a kosher super-market and police offi-cers — violence that tore deep into the nation’s sense of wellbeing.

“Our entire country will rise up toward some-

thing better,” Hollande said.

Details of the attacks continued to emerge, with new video showing one of the gunmen pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group and detailing how the attacks were going to unfold. That gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, was also linked to a new shooting, two days after he and the brothers be-hind a massacre at satir-ical newspaper Charlie Hebdo were killed in nearly simultaneous police raids.

The attacks tested France’s proud commit-ment to its liberties - lib-erties that authorities may now curtail to en-sure greater security. Marchers recognized this as a watershed mo-ment.

Crowds cheered po-lice vans as they wove through the crowds

Sunday - a rare sight at the many demonstra-tions that Parisians have staged throughout their rebellious history, when protesters and police are often at odds.

Giant rallies were held throughout France and major cities around the world, including London, Madrid and New York - all attacked by al-Qaida-linked ex-tremists - as well as Cairo, Sydney, Stock-holm, Tokyo and else-where.

In Paris, the Interior Ministry said 3.7 million marched throughout France, including roughly between 1.2 and 1.6 million in Paris, but said a precise ac-count is impossible given the enormity of the turnout.

French news media estimated up to 3 mil-lion people took part in the Paris march - more

than the numbers who took to Paris streets when the Allies liberat-ed the city from the Nazis in World War II.

The leaders marched down Voltaire Boule-vard - named after the Enlightenment-era fig-ure who symbolizes France’s attachment to freedom of expression. One marcher bore a banner with Voltaire’s famed pledge: “I do not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it.”

France remains on high alert while investi-gators determine whether the attackers were part of a larger ex-tremist network. More than 5,500 police and soldiers were deployed on Sunday across France, guarding marches, synagogues, mosques, schools and other sites.

Paris rally for unity is largest demonstration in French history
