McCormick offers a rebuttal Every economic development idea deserves a look, McCormick says C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

In celebration of Credit Union Day last Thursday, staff at Kootenay Savings in Kimberley donated $1712, raised through their Care Wear program, to MADD East Kootenay, represented by Katryna Sigurdson.

Head counts complete for SD6 Final numbers sent to Ministry C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

The final headcount has taken place and official enrolment numbers are now being submitted to the Ministry of Education by School District No. 6 staff.

As of September 30, the Kimberley Zone has 1,037 Full

Time Equivalent students, up 19 FTE students from last year.

This continues a steady enrolment climb in Kimberley in the past three years. Enrolment has climbed from 988.375 FTE students in 201011 to the 1,037 of this year.

In the Golden Zone numbers fell by 12.875 FTE students to 864.5 and in Windermere numbers were off by 5.25 to 1104 FTE students.

Balanced out by the increase

“ I want to know more about mutual funds.”

in Kimberley, SD6 enrolment increased by 1.125 FTE students or 3,005.625 enrolled in total.

The average per-pupil funding for K to 12 students increased to $8,603 for 201314.

In Kimberley, in addition to the 1,037 FTE students in the public system, there are also some 100 plus students enrolled at the Kimberley Independent School.

The Kimberley Independent School, which recently purchased the former Chapman Camp School building, offers programming for students in grades K through 8.

KIS limits class sizes to 16.

In the public system, district wide, class sizes are as follows: Kindergarten, 18; Grades 1 to 3, 19.9; Grades 4 to 7, 24.5 and Grades 8 to 12, 23.8.

Late last week, Kimberley Mayor Ron McRae stated that the City was not endorsing the idea of a potential federal prison near the old airport on Hwy 95A. “The discussions with the RDEK about developing a penal institution have nothing to do with your Municipality, its staff and team, or official Mayor Don McCormick and Council business.

The current administration does not recognize it as an initiative, let alone a recommendation or consideration.”

City Councillor Don McCormick, who has been investigating the possibility of a prison and has had informal talks about it, has responded to the Mayor’s statement.

“The Mayor has known for two years now that I have been pursuing this initiative,” McCormick said. “When we spoke about it, he made it clear that I had to do it as ‘Citizen Don McCormick’, so I’m doing it as Citizen Don. Now all of a sudden there is movement and Mayor McRae decides to isolate Kimberley from the process. That is a disappointment to me and I think it would be to Kimberley tax payers as well.

“The fact is that all the other regional leaders have decided this is too big not to dip our toe into the water. We need to foster regional partnerships.

The reality is we need to work with Cranbrook, with the RDEK, with First Nations on economic development.”

On Monday, biology students at Mount Baker Secondary had a chance to learn a little about genomics, the study of the function and structure of genomes – complete sets of DNA within a cell.

The Genome BC Geneskool program is a free workshop that is touring Cranbrook, Jaffray and Fernie classrooms this week. Scientists from UBC’s Let’s Talk Science program presented the students with the genomics basics and then let them loose on a series of activities.

In the afternoon, students of teacher Bob Madell’s Grade 11 biology class were doing an activity about natural selection as part of the program. The class was split up into groups with each visiting an island signified by a table. On each table there was a different assortment of candies – smarties on one, gummy bears on the other – and each student had a different utensil to try to pick them up, including spoons, chopsticks and toothpicks which stood in for variations in bird’s beaks. Students had to pick up as many of the candies as they could

with their given utensil.

Depending on the island’s food source certain “beaks” would have a much bigger advantage than others and would gather up more food.

Sam Greenwood from Genome BC said the workshops are meant to make science fun and relevant for the students.

“We make sure to explain the scientific activities and how they can be applied in real life situations, and explore the potential applications and impact of genomic technologies on Canadian society,” Greenwood said. “Our aim is that after attending Genome BC Geneskool, students will continue to appreciate the value of science and math in today’s knowledge-based economy.”

The workshop also sees students participate in solving a mock murder mystery using genomics techniques along with suspect interrogation reports from a fake crime.

Genome BC is supported by the Province of British Columbia, the Government of Canada through Genome Canada and Western Economic Diversification Canada.

One of this year’s Welcoming Community events was a hike in the Nature Park.

New immigrants invited to events For the Bulletin

Kimberley is a great place that welcomes new Immigrants and newcomers to our community Those of us who have lived in Kimberley for any length of time know what a welcoming and interesting community it is. But to new immigrants or new residents to our neighborhood, it takes time to learn about all the great resources and exciting events we all enjoy. New residents, newcomers and new immigrants to the Kimberley area can look forward to a number of exciting events to

demonstrate that Kimberley is a Welcoming Community.

Over the next year, the Kimberley Library and and CBAL (Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy) are organizing a number of community events to introduce newcomers to some of the groups, associations, organizations and services available in Kimberley.

Already, newcomers have enjoyed a Spring Tea; learned to play bocce and all about JulyFest; enjoyed a hike in the Nature Park; and learned about the Nordic Centre trails.

In the next few months new

immigrants and newcomers to Kimberley are invited to participate in Centre 64’s first of the season “Have Camera Will Travel” slide show series, visit the Friend’s of the Kimberley Public Library Society Bookstore, and enjoy local crafts at the Marysville Artisan’s Shop and the Bootleg Gap Golf Course “Magic of Christmas Craft Show. All events are free and any new immigrants are welcome to participate. Register by e-mail KimberleyLibrary.Welcome@ gmail.com or leave a message at 250-427-3112.

To say that Dana Meise has walked across Canada wouldn’t be doing him justice.

Not only has Dana hiked the Trans Canada Trail – which meanders across the country covering 15,000 kilometres between Newfoundland and Cranbrook – but Dana has made a point of truly experiencing Canada along the way.

The 39-year-old forest tech from Prince George, B.C. began his journey on May 6, 2008 on Cape Spear, Newfoundland, North America’s easternmost point.

Since then he has passed through nine provSally MacDonald photo inces, and along the way Dana Meise (right) marks Cranbrook on a map of he’s had amazing, uniquethe Trans Canada Trail in Baker Park on Wednesday, ly Canadian experiences.

McCormick responds on prison From page 1 McCormick says that any economic development opportunity needs to be looked at and at least discussed by Council.

“This is an opportunity with as big an economic impact as the Sullivan was in its final years in terms of jobs. It needs to be debated thoroughly by Council before it’s rejected. The advantages and disadvantages need to be debated.”

McCormick says that when he took his oath as a City Councillor, one passage stood out. ““Part of the oath was that as a Councillor you are to be ‘open to persuasive argument’. I never forgot that. Any

economic development opportunity falls into that category.”

McCormick says given the challenges facing the City in terms of spending on such as the unfinished flume, the Marysville arena, infrastructure in the ground, roads such as Gerry Sorensen Way and more, any opportunity is to be taken seriously.

“You start adding all that up, and our success with grants has been spotty as well. It’s only the taxpayers we can go to and that’s not sustainable. We need substantial economic development. That’s all this prison idea represents — one opportunity.

“You need to have five or 10 opportunities underway because you don’t know which one will come to fruition.

“Economic Development opportunities like this aren’t going to come and find Kimberley. We need to go out and attract them. That’s what I’ve been trying to do.

“Right now there is no prison project. It isn’t in the (federal) budget. But if it ever is put into the budget there will be heavy competition for it. We should be trying to position ourselves.”

Mayor McRae said last week that the issue of a penitentiary was potentially divisive.

McCormick says that

shouldn’t stop anyone from investigating the possibility.

“We’ve had referendums on divisive issues before. In most referendums 60 per cent in favour is considered a wildly successful majority. The sense I’m getting in talking to people around town is that up to two-thirds would support it.

“Tourism to Drumheller hasn’t stopped since a penitentiary went in. You don’t think ‘penitentiary’ when you think of Drumheller.

“You’re looking at potentially $15 to $20 million in disposable income coming into the community.”

Man treks Trans Canda Trail Feds move to From page 3 “I’ve built decks, I’ve worked on a lobster boat, picked mussels, I’ve planted a wheat field, I learned French in Quebec,” Dana told the Townsman when he made it to Cranbrook on Wednesday, October 16.

“I mean, passable French.”

A British Columbian at heart, Dana reached B.C. just before Thanksgiving, after hiking seven days from Banff over the Rocky Mountains. He was exhausted, but overjoyed to be back in B.C. “It’s good to be home. Just the smell alone and the fresh air. I mean, welcome home, Dana.

“It’s the smells, it’s the energy, it’s just where I’m comfortable.

When I’m hemmed in by trees, that’s where I belong.”

He grew fond of the prairies after 4,500 kilometres, he admitted – until he left them behind and he realized he was experiencing something similar to Stockholm Syndrome.

“Let’s say somebody kidnapped you and after being there long enough you decided they were actually nice people. That’s how I felt about the prairies,” he said. “But then when they let you go, and you’re like, ‘I’m in the mountains!’, it was like, ‘What was I thinking? I love my life in B.C.’” He got quite the welcome to B.C. on Thanksgiving, when he was walking through Wardner. After talking on the phone to his family, Dana sent out a tweet and Facebook post with his coordinates, joking that he would love a turkey dinner.

“I never thought in a million years anything

Government responds to Lac-Mégantic accident Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

The Trans Canada Trail does not take a direct route across Canada, instead aiming to connect communities and people.

Dana Meise would come of it,” he said.

“Out of nowhere, these people show up with a turkey dinner and a beer. I was so in shock and awe. They even brought utensils.”

Fernie resident Joni Krats, who was spending Thanksgiving with family in Wardner, had been following Dana’s journey online and quickly sprang into action.

Upon arriving in Cranbrook, Dana spent time visiting with friends and family in the area. He and his family lived here in 1979 and 1980, and he was full of fond memories of the city.

Dana remembers a life-changing experience while he was going to school at the nowclosed Muriel Baxter Elementary. It was careers day, and his teacher asked him what he wanted to do when he grew up.

“Everyone was like, ‘I want to be a fireman, I want to be a policeman.’

I said, ‘I want to be a fur trader and explorer.’ The teacher looked at me and said, ‘You can’t. It’s all been done.’

“I proved her wrong, didn’t I? Miss Smith, where are you now? I walked here from Newfoundland!”

Motivated by that passion for adventure and by his father, who can no longer walk after suffering a stroke, Dana began his long journey five years ago. He wants to give back to the country he loves, Dana explained, by telling the stories of the people he meets and the things he sees along the way.

“That’s what the Trans Canada Trail is about. It’s about connecting community and people. So I’m not doing anything other than what the trail is designed to do.”

Canada has an identity crisis, Dana suggested.

“I really felt like Canada had a lack of confidence in itself. We identify ourselves as Canadian through beer commercials and hockey, which is awesome, however we are a little more in-depth than that.

“I set out to show that we do have culture, and the Trans Canada Trail does it perfectly.”

“It’s flu season. Do you plan to get a flu shot this year?”

Along the way, he has passed through 800 communities and by the end of the hike, he will have been within half an hour’s drive of 85 per cent of Canada’s population.

He’s suffered plenty of injuries, including recurring troubles with plantar fasciitis, a debilitating inflammatory illness of the ligament on the sole of the foot.

Loneliness during the long days between towns is a constant blight, he admitted.

“The truth of the matter is: it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. By far.”

The meandering path of the trail has taken Dana on a 15,000 kilometre journey so far, the equivalent of crossing Canada twice and the U.S. three times on highways.

“There was a sign at one point that said all of these different places around the world. You could go to Moscow, Jerusalem. I’m looking at this sign and thinking, ‘I could go to any of these places, I’ve already walked further than any of these places.’”

But with great struggle comes great joy.

“Honestly, this has been the greatest thing I have done in my life, hands down. I’ve met thousands of Canadians, been in hundreds of Canadian towns and cities.”

Dana is full of praise for the 23,500 kilometre Trans Canada Trail, which actually consists of nearly 500 smaller trails that will one day be fully connected, linking the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans.

But for now, the trail is about 80 per cent complete, which means at times Dana has been walking through forest and field, following the dream of a trail.

“I mean this with all my heart: if you really want to see Canada to the best of your ability and you don’t want to plan your route on a highway, you could not do better than the Trans Canada Trail,” he said.

“It has done it all. It has almost never missed a historic site, and if it has, it’s working on getting to those sites. It is the quintessential trail.”

Dana has another 1,300 kilometres to go before he finishes the trail in Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories.

He aims to walk from Victoria to Tuktoyaktuk next spring, but is determined to reach Victoria this year.

After leaving Cranbrook, Dana hiked the North Star Rails to Trails to Kimberley, then began the long, solitary journey across the Gray Creek Pass to Kootenay Lake.

When – not if, he insists – Dana finishes the trail, he will be the first person to hike the longest walking trail in the world.

He plans to write a book about the experience when he is done, and has already spoken to thousands of school children about his trip.

You can follow along with Dana’s journey, including stunning photographs and touching stories of Canadians at their best, on his Facebook page, The Great Hike.

The federal government is looking to increase safety in the transportation of dangerous goods as more oil and other hazardous materials are transported by rail.

MP David Wilks further expained the move.

“Some of the regulations that will be proposed by the government will tighten up the requirements for the railways to ensure that dangerous goods are handled in a responsible manner,” he said adding that the stiffer regulations and penalties would put a lot more onus on the rail companies to ensure proper mechanisms are in place to prevent an incident like the one that occurred in Lac-Mégantic in early July. “We want to ensure that those things never happen again,” Wilks said.

(These comments were made before the incident near Edmonton this past weekend.”

He said things like braking systems and leaving engines on while unattended will be brought up to a higher standard than today’s standard.

Transport Canada said there are over 30 million shipments of dangerous goods making that make their way across Canada every year, with 99.9 per cent making it to their destination without incident.

Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt issued a directive that requires any person who imports or transports crude oil to conduct classification tests on crude oil. This, it is hoped, will further enhance safety in the transportation of dan-

gerous goods.

“Our government remains committed to taking action to protect public safety, and we will take targeted action to increase the safety of the transportation of dangerous goods,” Minister Raitt said last week. “We are continuing to do that today with the issuance of this protective direction.”

The new direction, which takes effect immediately deals with any person who imports or transports crude oil. To meet the guidelines they must: • Conduct classification testing of any crude oil being classified as UN 1267 or UN 1993, which has not undergone classification testing since July 7, 2013; • Make those tests results available to Transport Canada upon request; • Update their Safety Data Sheets and immediately provide them to Transport Canada’s Canadian Transport Emergency Centre; • Until such testing is completed, ship all such crude oil as Class 3 Flammable Liquid Packing Group I, when shipping by rail.

Transport Canada is working with the Transportation Safety Board as it continues its investigation into the Lac-Mégantic disaster. Transport Canada is building upon the safety advisories received from the Transportation Safety Board and is further enhancing the safety of railway operations and dangerous goods transportation in Canada.

The Transport Canada investigation following the accident in Lac-Mégantic is still ongoing.

Any person who imports, handles, offers for transport or transports dangerous goods falls under regulations and standards of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act.

Kootenay Region 4-H members gather Submitted

From September 20 to 23, 2013, over 50 4-H members from the Kootenay region (Creston to the Alberta border) joined at Rock Lake United Church Camp.

It was an amazing weekend filled with fun, laughs, challenges, games and most of all friendships. Friday evening started with everyone getting to know each other and settling into their sleeping quarters. Bingo was played and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Saturday everyone was up and started breakfast at 8 a.m.

and activities started at 9. The most amazing tie-dyed T-shirts were created by the members and some leaders, they created name tags and created a group identity poster.

Thank you to Columbia Basin Trust for helping us with our craft expenses.

Before lunch the challenges began and the groups united in their abilities. The groups were composed of all ages from five to 17 and were run by our senior members.

Leadership, organization and skill were all apparent.

Lunch was taco in a bag and then the challenges resumed. They had BINGO survivor challenges, scrabble using 12-inch by 12-inch letters, relays, taste testing and so many more very interesting challenges. With only minutes to rest, supper was served and everyone ate very well.

Relaxing time and fun games of volleyball were played and then the evening ended with team awards (Thank you to Teck for the prizes) and cake and again bingo.

Sunday morning everyone

met for breakfast and cleanup was completed. This was an awarding weekend for everyone who attended. The leadership skills obtained, the peer respect, the understanding and the kindness was seen throughout the weekend. A special thank you to Columbia Basin Trust, Triangles Women’s Institute, Teck and all the leaders, parents and alumni for making this such a successful event.

A special thank you to our challenge leader who spent endless hours of preparation and challenge searches.

Oil spill study misinterpreted

T

he release of the B.C. government’s detailed study into oil spill response capability off the West Coast created the usual brief wave of media shock and horror.

This just in! If crude oil spilled in the Dixon Entrance, the stormtossed sea lane north of Haida Gwaii, the combined resources of Canadian and U.S. containment and collection response could only recover an estimated four per cent of it. And that’s in the summer! The winter recovery rate would be more like three per cent.

Talk radio and website headlines set the narrative in minutes. How could anyone even consider running oil tankers through that pristine B.C. coastal area?

It’s crazy!

Here’s the big fact clearly stated in the study by U.S.-based Nuka Research and Planning Group, and ignored by most of the media and public. There are hundreds of tankers filled with crude oil sailing through these stormy seas every year. It’s been going on since Alaska North Slope crude was developed in the 1970s.

Six of the seven oil spill simulations run by Nuka are based on Alaska crude, because that’s overwhelmingly what has been shipped along B.C.’s North Coast for 40 years. This lack of crude oil spill response capability has existed the en-

tire time, without a whisper of protest or media attention, even after the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster near the oil’s point of origin.

The current narrative, hammered home by U.S.-controlled environmental groups and their aboriginal partners in the “Great Bear Rainforest,” is that only Canadian oil is a threat.

How much Alaska crude BC VIEWS is shipped down the B.C. Tom coast? According to Nuka’s Fletcher analysis, it’s currently about 38 million cubic metres each year. That’s enough to fill B.C. Place stadium to the roof — 15 times.

The Sierra-Greenpeace-ForestEthics-Dogwood gang, a sort of billionaire-bankrolled green Team America, has worked hard to promote the falsehood that “tar sands” oil is vastly worse than that nice fair-trade Alaska stuff.

Their claims about acidity and abrasiveness of diluted bitumen didn’t hold up, and it’s still hotly contested whether the heavy oil in diluted bitumen would float, emulsify or sink in actual sea conditions.

When the federal government announced a study to determine what spilled bitumen would do in North Coast waters, that too was attacked by the Green Party as a secret scheme to prop up Enbridge’s pipeline proposal. So it’s a scandal when you don’t know the answers, and it’s a scandal when you try to

find them.

Another question that gets little attention is whether it’s better for spilled oil to sink rather than wash up on beaches.

Crude oil is, if you’ll pardon the expression, organic. Spills produce a huge spike in oil-eating bacteria that leads to an increase in fish populations at a certain stage. This was documented in a 1994 book called Degrees of Disaster, written by an expert who stayed on in Valdez for four years, long after the TV cameras and grandstanding politicians went home.

Victoria-based Dogwood seized on a 2012 Nuka study done for the Haisla Nation at Kitimat, which found that in ocean conditions that are present more than half of the time, there would be no immediate way to respond to a spill at sea.

Dogwood’s “no tankers campaign director” hinted that this information was intentionally left out of the B.C. government study, and the media ate it up.

No tankers? Better check again.

Dogwood’s mission is clearly not to protect the B.C. coast from oil spills. If it were, they would be protesting the ongoing risk from Alaska tankers.

AVALANCHE VOLLEYBALL

Avalanche kick off new season TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It was a mixed start for the College of the Rockies Avalanche, which began their season on the road with a trip to Vancouver Island to take on the Camosun College Chargers and the Vancouver Island University Mariners.

After a month of practice and preseason tuneups against various teams in Alberta, the men’s and women’s Avalanche were put to the test in their first Pacwest league games of the new season.

Both teams played two games against the Chargers and two games against the Mariners in a gruelling four-day schedule.

The men had a better start, losing a tight 3-1 (26-24, 25-23, 22-25, 25-23) match to the Chargers, followed by a heartbreaking rematch that went to five sets at 3-2 (25-19, 21-25. 25-5, 19-25, 15-12).

“We played well and had opportunities to win, but obviously, not coming away with a win, we were really hungry going into VIU, a tough gym to play in, but the guys prepared really well,” said men’s head coach Steve Kamps.

The ladies had a tougher go against the Chargers, dropping both matches at the same set scores of 3-0.

The two teams headed up to Nanaimo to take on the Mariners, which featured some better results for the men, which won both matches in the tiebreak set.

In the first match, the Avs took the first two sets, and gave

up the following two to force the tiebreak. Final score stood at 2512, 25-22, 19-25, 23-25, 19-17.

“We were down 7-2 in the fifth set and came back and won,” said Kamps.

The two teams had a rematch on Sunday, and the Mariners took a 2-1 set lead before the Avs battled back to even it up and force a tiebreak for the win.

Final score for sets stood at 2523, 21-25, 10-25, 25-20, 15-13.

“Some good things happening there, and obviously, two huge wins in VIU, I don’t think we’ve won a league game there in over 10 years, so to win two of them back to back was huge for us,” added Kamps.

Kamps noted that even though it may not have looked pretty at times, the men were able to get it done.

“I think we just found ways to win,” Kamps said. “I don’t think it was our best volleyball that we can play, but the guys just found ways to score, remained patient in a really up and down match and it was a good character builder for them to just continue to find ways to score and find ways to win.”

The women’s team were up against a tough team in the Mariners, which won both matches at set scores of 3-0.

It was a homecoming for Avs rookie Alysha Hutt, a libero who was recruited out of Cedar Secondary School in Nanaimo.

Both teams have a bye this coming weekend, but will open their home schedule in the beginning of November, when they host the visiting Douglas College Royals.

Hall of Fame defenceman Allan Stanley dies C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Allan Stanley, a Hall of Fame defenceman who won four Stanley Cup titles with the Toronto Maple Leafs, has died. He was 87.

The NHL confirmed Stanley’s death on its website.

Stanley earned a reputation as an effective defensive defenceman over his 22-season career. The native of Tim-

mins, Ont., started with the New York Rangers in the 1948-49 season and became team captain two years later.

He was traded to Chicago during the 1954-55 season and also played

in Boston before landing in Toronto prior to the 1958-59 campaign.

While with the Maple Leafs, Stanley formed a fearsome defensive tandem with Tim Horton.

He spent 10 seasons pa-

trolling the blue-line at Maple Leaf Gardens and helped the Leafs to four championships, including the 1967 Stanley Cup title. The Leafs haven’t won the iconic trophy since.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our mid-30s and happily married. We have sex almost every night. Here’s the problem: I found out this past summer that my husband is kinky. I saw him smelling my worn lingerie, as well as our teenage daughter’s and my mother’s. What makes a man want to do this with women’s clothing? I’ve never heard of women smelling men’s shorts.

Is this normal? -- A Dumbfounded Wife Dear Dumbfounded: Your husband is turned on by the scent of worn women’s underwear. This is not an uncommon fetish. As long as everything else in your marriage and sex life is good, we wouldn’t worry too much about this, although you should insist he limit his fetish to your undergarments and leave his daughter’s and your mother’s alone. It’s creepy.

Dear Annie: My boss has become a good friend. We eat lunch together most days and sometimes meet up after work. She is smart, fun, kind and generous. But she can’t stand it when others compliment me.

She gets angry if anyone comments on my clothing or hair. A man in our office once said I “look nice today,” and she practically bit his head off, saying it’s rude to comment on a woman’s appearance in the presence of another woman. I recently got my hair cut, and she’s made enough nasty little barbs for me to know she doesn’t like it. That’s OK. I am not so childish or insecure that I need everyone to like my hair.

I’m happy with it, and that’s enough. But another woman in our department jokingly said to our boss, “How do you like your ‘new’ assistant? Doesn’t she look sexy with that haircut?” My boss walked off in a huff.

What can I do to stop this behavior? My husband says she is jealous, but there is no reason for that. I don’t believe I look any better than she does. We are similar in age, height and weight. I would never be rude to her and don’t understand why she wants to hurt me. She gets defensive when criticized, so I’m hesitant about opening this can of worms. Any suggestions? -- Need a Thicker Skin Dear Need: Your boss could be jealous, which doesn’t need a rational cause, or she could be extremely possessive and not want others to notice you in a way that might divert your attention from her. As your boss, she should not be putting you in a position where you are afraid to speak up. Since you consider her a friend, the next time this happens, casually mention that her reaction gives the appearance that she’s jealous.

Then change the subject. She may deny it and even be angry, but it might have the desired effect if it makes her examine her behavior more closely.

Dear Annie: “Awaiting Your Help” is upset that a friend is bringing her husband to the monthly girls’ night out. I wish my friends had welcomed my husband to these evenings. While I was sharing good times with my girlfriends, my husband was out meeting women from the Internet in seedy motels.

He gave me two sexually transmitted diseases before I found out. He appears to be a great guy on the surface, but underneath, he’s a slimeball who has lied and cheated for years. I no longer go to girls’ night out.

My friends hate my husband and will not come to my house. I’ve joined a support group, but I miss my friends. My social life consists of a weekly trip to the grocery. I am sad and miserable.

Please let your friend bring her husband to your nights out. Otherwise, he might find another form of entertainment. -- Not Living the Dream Dear Not Living: Why are you still with this lying, cheating slimeball? Get counseling, and if nothing changes, get out.

No timeline for residents to return to homes near Alberta derailment site

A deal to make you jump for joy.

C ANADIAN PRESS

STONY PLAIN, Alta.

— A spokesman for CN said Monday it was too early for residents of an Alberta community to be allowed to return to their homes near the site of a derailment.

“We had hoped that that could take place this morning earlier than had been predicted,’’ Warren Chandler said. “That’s not going to be possible and we apologize to residents.

Chandler said CN had hoped a controlled burn on Sunday night would get rid of potentially explosive propane in some of the derailed tank cars.

The hamlet of Gainford was evacuated early Saturday morning when 13 cars on a freight train carrying a cargo of oil and propane went off the rails near the tiny community, about 80 kilometres west of Edmonton.

Two explosions were reported, so people were ordered from their homes as a precaution.

No one was injured.

As of Sunday, 126 people had registered with the evacuation centre.

Three of the rail cars were carrying liquefied petroleum gas, commonly known as propane, and caught fire.

Four of the derailed freight cars were carrying crude and didn’t break open. CN said those units have been removed from the scene.

CN said it is not ready to say what may have caused the derailment or what damage may have occurred, either to the rail company’s infrastructure or the Yellowhead Highway, northern Alberta’s main east-west artery.

The highway remained closed Monday.
