Driver crashes through house C AROLYN GR ANT Daily7 Bulletin

A 19-year old Cranbrook woman is facing impaired driving charges after crashing through the window of a house in the early hours of Monday morning, June 16. The accident occurred on Archibald Street.

Kimberley RCMP’s Cpl. Chris Newel reports that police, as well

as the Kimberley Fire Department and B.C. Ambulance, responded to the call which came in at 1:45 a.m.

Newel says the driver failed to negotiate the corner on Archibald Street and crashed through the window causing extensive damage to the house.

“The two occupants of the house were checked by BC Am-

bulance; one was taken to hospital for further evaluation,” Newel said. “The injuries were not serious.”

He says an impaired driving investigation was initiated and the woman provided two breath samples of 130 mgs of alcohol in 100 ml blood.

She will appear in court in September.

Richard Bay back in Canada Richard Bay, injured in Honduras, is now in Foothills Hospital C AROLYN GR ANT

It is at once a cautionary tale and a heart-warming story.

Kimberley’s Richard Bay is back in Canada after friends and well-wishers raised enough money to transport him home after an accident in Honduras left him severely injured.

His sister Lisa Bay reports that Richard arrived back in Canada about midnight this past Friday and was admitted to Calgary’s Foothills Hospital. He had surgery the next day to replace all

the pins in his shattered leg. He had six surgeries in Honduras prior to returning to Canada.

“He went for surgery Saturday afternoon and is doing great,” she said.

Richard was hurt when his motorcycle was hit by a bus a few weeks ago. His family put out a fundraising appeal in order to bring him home. His medical bills were not covered because his travel insurance had lapsed.

That is the cautionary tale. For about $50, insurance would have

covered all the expenses, which sister Lisa says are looking to be about $75,000 including medical bills and transportation.

But the fundraising, which included an event at Wycliffe Regional Park this past weekend that raised $7,500, has been heart-warming, Lisa says.

“Thank you, Richard France, and everyone who helped make the event a success! This will put our total at over 33,000.

East Kootenay performers shine at provincial festival B A R R Y CO U LT E R

Kootenay performers came up big at the recent B.C. Provincial Festival of the Arts.

Danielle Nicholson of Cranbrook won the Senior Classical Voice competition out of a class of nine others from around the province. Nicholson also won an award for best performance of a Canadian piece in Senior Voice.

The provincial festival was held in Penticton, June 2-7. Six performers and one observer were in attendance from the East Kootenay.

“I’m absolutely elated and honoured,” Danielle said of her awards.

“I was not expecting this, but I have worked so hard and this is the icing on the cake.

“My biggest thanks would have to go to my parents for their love and support of my journey. And I could never have done this without my amazing teacher, Katherine van Kampen, who recognized my potential three years ago.”

Danielle now lives in Kelowna and is training in voice there with van Kampen, who adjudicated the voice section of the East Kootenay Performing Arts Festival several years in 2011. At that time, van Kampen asked to work with Danielle, because the voice instructor recognized “a beautiful mezzo-soprano voice that could ‘fly,’ as van Kampen said at the time. Since

then, Danielle has been taking lessons with Katherine in the bel canto tradition.

Michele Capalbo, the adjudicator at Provincials in Penticton, said that Danielle already has the full resonant space sound that she was looking for the others in the senior classical category to develop.

As well as Nicholson, Carter Gulseth of Cranbrook, well-known for his performances in Mount Baker Secondary School productions, took the award in the Senior Shakespeare category of Speech Arts.

And Alec Hammond of Creston, but well-known to local audiences for his performances in the local Performing Arts Festival festival and at East Kootenay Music Teachers’ Association recitals, was the winner in Junior Piano. Alec represented the Creston Festival in Penticton.

Locals who travelled to Penticton for the B.C. Provincial Festival of the Arts include: Participants — Eve MacBride (Junior Speech Arts), Carter Gulseth (Senior Speech Arts), Tessa Charlton (Intermediate Classical Voice), Asia Franklin (Junior Classical Voice), Danielle Nicholson (Senior Classical Voice), Clara MacLeod (Intermediate Musical Theatre). Observer — Kara MacBride (Senior Speech Arts).

No deal after weekend teacher talks To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

An exchange of wage offers and other proposals between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and government negotiators on the weekend did not lead to an agreement, and a full-scale strike in public schools is likely to begin Tuesday.

Negotiators for the BCTF and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association met until midnight Sunday, as the union prepared for a full-scale strike set for Tuesday. The two sides contradicted each other Monday on the substance of the wage offers, and each said the next move is up to

the other if a deal is to be reached.

BCTF president Jim Iker said a complete strike is “imminent,” after union members endorsed the move in a province-wide strike vote last week.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday he is waiting for a re-

sponse from the union to the latest offer from BCPSEA, which represents the province’s 60 school districts.

Iker said the union’s latest wage offer increased its proposed contract term from four to five years, with an 8% raise over that time and a $5,000 signing bonus.

BCPSEA had offered a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreemen by the end of the school year, and the union took into account that teachers are losing 10% of their pay for withholding some duties, Iker said.

Fassbender did not specify the employer’s latest wage proposal, which

Iker described as a slight reduction in BCPSEA’s earlier offer. Fassbender disagreed. “[BCPSEA] tabled a comprehensive settlement that includes an improved wage offer and commits to realistic and flexible solutions to address class composition,” Fassbender said.

African Children’s Choir. The choir will be performing twice in Cranbrook June 29.

A song for Africa in Cranbrook African Children’s Choir will perform two shows on June 29

A r n e P e t rys h e n Townsman Staff

At the end of June, the African Children’s Choir will be playing two shows in Cranbrook.

The choir has been on tour for five months, starting in San Francisco and working its way up the Midwest. It has been doing concerts six nights a week and stay at host families along the way.

On Sunday, June 29, the choir will perform at the First Baptist Church at 10:30 a.m., and then again later at the Cranbrook Alliance Church at 6 p.m. The concerts are by donation.

Nate Longstaff, the tour leader and a chaperone, spoke to the Townsman from Clive, Alberta.

“We perform mainly at churches and community centres and things like that,” Longstaff said. “And in schools. We do a lot of work in schools.”

The choir arrived in Canada about a month and a half ago, through Saskatchewan.

“We’ve been moving west and north and going towards Alaska,” he said. “Eventually, seven months from now, we will be moving down the west coast of the United States and Canada

and eventually going to Europe as well.”

The African Children’s Choir is a non-profit humanitarian relief organization dedicated to helping Africa’s most vulnerable children. Its parent company, Music for Life, works in seven countries in Africa to help the aspiring individuals that will be the future of those countries.

“They select children mainly from Uganda, Kenya and South Africa, but this particular choir is just from Uganda,” he said.

The organization uses scouts to select children with the greatest need. Usually the children are orphans and disadvantaged.

The children are interviewed and auditioned to see if they have a genuine hunger and desire to learn and better themselves, as well as musical talent, he said.

“Ultimately, these children will perform to show the hope and potential of their brothers and sisters back home,” he said.

“The organization, in the 30 years that it’s been running, has sent 41 different choirs out to the West and has helped almost 150,000 people back in Africa.

They’re raising money and spon-

sorship while they are out in the West and will provide the means to carry on the incredible programs that are happening back in Africa.”

The funds that the choir raises by donation go back into the program.

Longstaff said the concert includes a variety of performances, such as regional dances from Uganda, traditional African songs, drum pieces, pop songs, traditional gospel and even songs that have been written specifically for the choir by some prestigious artists.

He said audiences seem to embrace the performances and a lot of time don’t go home the same.

“There is something about the performance that changes your perspective on life,” he said.

“To see children with such massive hope.”

He said the children aspire to be doctors, lawyers and politicians when they are older.

“People are moved to tears by the beauty of the culture, by the beauty of the children, by the sounds they make,” Longstaff said. “And people won’t go home the same.”

Jet fuel spilled by semi tanker did not enter Columbia River, province says Ca n ad ian Press

GOLDEN, B.C. — B.C.’s Environment Ministry says none of the jet fuel spilled by a tank car that overturned

while being hauled by a semi entered the nearby Columbia river.

The ministry says the tanker, which overturned along the Co-

The ministry says it is unclear how much fuel was spilled or how

much fuel was in the tank when it overturned.

The tanker overturned between Radium and Golden.

Breaking Barriers

Opportunities for the disabled My name is Raux, and I have a disability. This piece is the second in a weekly series on living with a disability in a community like Cranbrook.

As I get older I am realizing that my joints are stiffer and I’m not as flexible as I was when I was younger. It’s obviously easier to start early and maintain; however, if you start later, it will take hard work and determination to regain some of your former agility.

Part II – Therapy Physiotherapy: A physiotherapist can work with you on a regular basis to maintain and increase your range of motion, strength and flexibility. They can also work with you to create a routine of exercises that you can use on your own, within your schedule.

Occupational Therapy: An

occupational therapist can help assess your needs and find the equipment that can best suit your daily living needs, even repurposing items to adapt them to you.

Massage: There are registered massage therapists in our community that will even bring their tables to you — a registered massage therapist or RMT may qualify for coverage under your health insurance plan.

Acupuncture: I’ve recently learned that it is possible to do acupuncture from a wheelchair, depending on your recommended treatment. More health insurance plans are allowing alternative therapies such as acupuncture and naturopaths under their coverage.

Counseling & Peer Support: It is important to have someone to talk to who understands what you are going through, whether

you are facing hard challenges yourself or are a loved one. Our families and friends are a huge cornerstone of our support systems yet they rarely receive or even expect acknowledgement or peer support for the challenges they face alongside us.

Therapy used to be a polarizing word that set you apart from your peers and TV/movies have gone to the other extreme by glamorizing having and/or needing a therapist. Don’t worry about everyone else: real, “reality” or fiction; take care of you and your needs. The truth is, it is ok to ask for help, everyone needs a hand at some point in their lives.

When you are balanced and feeling good you will be happier for it. Help is available to everyone; all you need to do is ask.

Sincerely, Raux

Letters to the Editor Thieves

To whoever stole the money and ID cards from a car on Saturday, June 14, on Wattsville Road. I hope you are very pleased with your actions. Thanks to you my four great-grandchildren and their parents will be going hungry for two weeks.

I hope you read this and feel very proud of yourselves.

Take in, take home

The other day I heard on the radio that the Regional District was thinking of buying a trash container for the partyers out at Lake Koocanusa. What a joke that is!

Are they going to put the used toilet paper in them? What about the chopping down of the live trees? Are you going to go around to every spot and leave a trash container there in the hopes that they might use it? Who is going to enforce it when they leave? The next thing that will happen is outhouses will be built. On and on it goes.

In my opinion what is needed is policing and taking down of license plate numbers. Large fines could be issued to those destroying our Crown Land. The land is supposed to be for us all to enjoy and be respected by all. We have camped the Koocanusa Lake area for many years, but have stopped because of the total disrespect of the lake.

As the saying goes, “what you take in,

you take home”.

The cost of $50,000 for a trash container could be put towards policing the areas.

It would go a long way in stopping some of the destruction. It is such a beautiful lake to spend time at, swimming, fishing and camping. I sure hope someone can get a handle on these problems.

B. L. Filip Kimberley

Public sector

First off, I would like to thank those teachers who have responded to my initial letter to the editor.

There has been some question as to where I got my figures from, but in my letter I clearly state that they came from Stats Canada. Now, most of us would consider this quite a credible source, but if you don’t accept this, then you can go to them yourselves.

Let me be clear, my issue is not with individual teachers as I know many personally and appreciate the tremendous job they do with our kids. My letter clearly is directed at the BCTF. In my experience, they are undoubtedly the most radical, reactionary union I have ever come in contact with.

It is obvious that they will fight this government at all cost, no matter what the issue. It wouldn’t matter what changes the government proposed, they would oppose it because they in effect are the official opposition.

The teacher’s situation is systemic of the whole public sector gravy train that

has really become out of line over the last decade or so.

The private sector has gone through tremendous upheaval and change over the last 20 or so years, that has resulted in wages and benefits, particularly benefits, being badly eroded.

Let’s take pensions as an example. Employer sponsored plans are fast disappearing and will probably completely disappear over the next decade. What about the public sector? Almost without exception, every public sector employee still have those “gold plated plans.” Pensions are only a small example of the disparity that now exists between these two sectors.

Why have these changes not occurred in the public sector as they have in the private sector? In my opinion, it is because we have never had a government(s) that has had the courage to be as ruthless as in the private sector.

What we have created now is a new class system in our society: the privileged public sector class and the rest of us in the private sector class.

If this situation doesn’t change, I feel the BCTF and other public sector unions will have to find a new political party to run/partner with, as the one they are now part of has a fundamental principle of creating a more equable society!

I have received an amazing amount of positive comments regarding my initial letter and would like to thank the Townsman for providing us with a great forum.

Neil Matheson Cranbrook

The Kurds’ big chance for a state E very disaster creates opportunities for somebody. If the Kurds of Iraq play their cards right, they could finally end up with the borders they want, fully recognised by a government in Baghdad that has been saved by Kurdish troops.

The Kurds have this opportunity because the large but totally demoralised Iraqi army has fallen apart over the past week. The Sunni Islamist fanatics of ISIS are now less than an hour’s drive from Baghdad, and Peshmerga, the army of the Kurdistan Regional Government, is the only military force left in Iraq that could take the offensive against them.

It is very unlikely that the ISIS fighters can take Baghdad. There are probably no more than 5,000 of them in Iraq, and their stunning recent victories were achieved more by frightening the Iraqi army to death than by actual fighting. Most of those ISIS troops are needed to hold down their recent conquests, including the large cities of Mosul and Tikrit.

ISIS couldn’t spare more than a thousand or so of its fighters for a push into Baghdad, which has seven million people, most of them Shias. The Shia militias, which are taking in tens of thousands of volunteers a day, don’t have much in the way of military skills, but they would fight – and street fighting in a big city eats up soldiers’s lives.

Either ISIS will not attack Baghdad, or it will try and fail. However, what remains of the Iraqi army will certainly not be able to take the offensive and drive ISIS out of all the territory that has already been lost.

Tuesday, June 17, 2014

Short of direct Iranian or American military intervention on the ground, the only force that might be able to do that is Peshmerga.

Peshmerga has advanced to take control of territories abandoned by the Iraqi army that were historically part of Kurdistan, most notably the city of Kirkuk and its surrounding oilfields, but so far it has not tried to stop the ISIS fighters moving south. “There is no need for Peshmerga forces to move into these areas,” said Jabbar Yawar, Gwynne secretary general of the Ministry of Pesh Merga AfDyer fairs.

But Peshmerga forces are close enough to the roads leading south from Mosul to Baghdad to cut the ISIS line of communications and stop the advance on Baghdad if they were ordered to. The ISIS fighters have significant support from the Sunni population in the area they have overrun, so trying to drive them out of Mosul and Tikrit would cost Peshmerga many casualties, but it’s the only force in Iraq that is even in a position to try.

What would the Kurds demand in return? What they want most is to recover the territories that were taken from them by the Baathist regime in Baghdad between the 1960s and the later 1980s. Under Saddam Hussein, tens of thousands of Kurds were killed and hundred of thousands driven from their lands. He then changed the provincial boundaries, and the stolen lands were repopulated with Arab settlers whom he brought in from the south.

Peshmerga troops have taken back con-

trol of much of this land in the past week, but nothing will be settled unless Baghdad formally restores the old provincial boundaries. It would also have to accept that a lot of those Arab settlers will be removed to make way for returning Kurdish families.

Such a concession would be politically impossible in normal times, but if Baghdad wants Peshmerga to fight for it, that’s the price it will probably have to pay. And it should bear in mind that the Kurds also have another option. They could just hold those territories by force, and declare independence.

The Baghdad government could do little about it: the advance of the ISIS forces means that it no longer has a common frontier with Kurdistan. In the past, the Iraqi Kurds were deterred from declaring independence because Turkey threatened to invade them if they did – Ankara worried about the impact of Kurdistan’s independence on the large Kurdish minority in Turkey – but things have changed there too.

Turkey is now the largest foreign investor in Iraqi Kurdistan, and regards the KRG as a reliable partner. In any case, the Turkish government will have its hands full dealing with the sudden emergence of a hostile Islamic caliphate along its southern border. Kurdish independence would still be a gamble, but the odds are that it could succeed.

One way or the other, Kurdistan is probably going to be a big winner out of this.

But it will probably take the lower-risk course of trying to make a deal with Baghdad first.

Ontario election lessons for B.C.

“L

iberal” is becoming one of the most ill-defined words in Canadian politics.

Here in B.C., a Liberal is a Conservative, or at least a fiscal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them to recognize today’s world of low growth and low inflation.

In Ottawa, a Liberal is currently whatever Justin Trudeau wakes up and decides. One day he’s a libertarian who wants to legalize marijuana, and the next he’s in touch with his inner Taliban, issuing a moral edict on abortion.

In Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne saved her gut-shot Liberal government by limping to the left of the NDP, promising to spend lots more borrowed money and build lots of transit.

This is in a have-not province with an operating deficit that is currently running north of $12 billion. For comparison purposes, B.C.’s deficit swelled briefly beyond $3 billion in the wake of the Great Recession of 2009, and the books stayed in the red until last year as the B.C. Liberals unwound the Harmonized Sales Tax and repaid a $1.6 billion HST transfer allowance to Ottawa.

You think B.C.’s energy policy is a disaster? Check out Ontario, where the cops are

still investigating the $1 billion cancellation of plans to construct two natural gasfired power plants before the 2011 election. The gas plants were to stabilize erratic output from wind and solar power, a European-style climate change gesture that involved Ontario ratepayers giving a huge subsidy to Korean tech giant Samsung.

The Ontario Liberals clung to power in part by promising a provincial penBC VIEWS sion scheme on the same scale as the Canada Pension Tom Plan.

Fletcher B.C. has a similar pension program in the works, to be offered to the two thirds of small business and self-employed people who don’t have a group plan with their employer. Ours would, of course, be voluntary.

Not so in Ontario, where large and small businesses will be required to cough up half of the required pension payments.

The Ontario model is dumb on several levels. It is to be imposed just as the baby boom retirement wave breaks across Canada’s most populous province, increasing risk that the pension pool may run dry.

And it sticks small business with a new payroll tax in a province that has lost much of its traditional manufacturing base and needs to innovate.

Here’s the funny part, if you don’t live in

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Ontario. Wynne tabled her spending-spree, deficit-be-damned budget in an effort to convince the NDP to keep propping up the Liberal minority government and avoid an election.

Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-in-the-sky promises. Ontario is bracing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree.

Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, stimulate job creation. Hudak was rejected for a second time, and resigned the leadership on election night.

B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version.

For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia.

If all goes well here, B.C. can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario.

Bandits have tough weekend in Eureka TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The weather took a turn for the worse this weekend, and so did the results for the Bandits, which suffered a pair of losses against the Kootenai Valley Rangers on Saturday in Eureka.

It was a close opener, as the Cranbrook squad spotted the Rangers a 3-0 lead before scoring their only run in the fifth inning.

Tyler Thorn pitched six innings, allowing four hits with three strikeouts and three walks during his time on the mound.

The Rangers opened it up in the first inning

with an RBI from RJ Glover, and doubled the lead in the fourth when Joe Schlarman brought Austin Perez home.

Kootenai Valley added their third run the following inning, before the Bandits got up on the board on a sacrifice fly from Kei Chlopan, which brought home Jake Bromley.

Rangers pitcher Sam Hannay did an effective job holding the Bandits at bay on the plate, allowing only three hits in seven innings with 12 strikeouts and two walks.

The two teams took a quick break, then headed back out onto the di-

amond for a rematch, but despite the higher-scoring game, the Cranbrook team fell 11-9.

The Bandits built up a 7-2 lead after two innings, but the Rangers came on late in the game, adding five runs in the sixth to clinch a come-from-behind win.

Devon Marra handled most of the pitch-

ing, allowing 10 hits in five innings, with a walk and two strikeouts.

Connor Armstrong pitched two-thirds of an inning, while Kei Chlopan handled the rest.

On RBI’s from Marra, Connor Armstrong and Cedar Kemp, the Bandits went up 5-0 in the first inning, and scored Brenden Bird and Chlopan in the second inning.

However, the Rangers soon started chipping away at their deficit, and eventually mounted a comeback.

With the Bandits up 8-2, the Rangers scored twice in the fourth in-

ning and, added another pair of runs in the fifth.

With a four-run lead, the Bandits scored again as Thorn came across home plate on an error, but the Rangers weren’t fazed.

The Bandits struggled through a tough sixth inning, giving up five runs with four hits to Kootenai Valley and suffered some defensive errors, which allowed the hosts to take and maintain an 11-9 lead.

The Bandits had a pair of games scheduled against the Whitefish Glacier ‘B’ team on Sunday, but both were rained out.

Mueller leads Germany 4-0 past Portugal NESHA STARCE VIC Associated Press

SALVADOR, Brazil Thomas Mueller scored a hat trick as Germany turned on its style and power to rout 10-man Portugal 4-0 in their World Cup Group G opener on Monday.

Mueller, who led the 2010 World Cup with five goals, was ruthless against a weak Portugal team that was clearly outplayed despite the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo.

With Chancellor An-

gela Merkel supporting in the stands, the German team celebrated its 100th World Cup match with a rousing victory that was virtually assured by halftime.

“After 20 minutes, we looked up at the clock and thought it was going to be a long day,” Mueller said. “But we got into the match very well and when you lead by 2-0 in this heat and then even get the third, it was all over.”

Germany always aims to have an impres-

sive start and it certainly did this time. Four years ago, it started with a 4-0 win over Australia and reached the semifinals.

What must be worrying for Germany’s opponents is the apparent ease with which Joachim Loew’s lineup disposed of the fourthranked team in the world. Germany next faces Ghana on June 21 and the United States on June 26.

Kings celebrate Stanley Cup title with parade GREG BEACHAM Associated Press

LOS ANGELES - The off-season party is in full swing for the Los Angeles Kings.

The Kings paraded the Stanley Cup through downtown Los Angeles on Monday to celebrate their second NHL title in three seasons.

A raucous contingent of fans lined Figueroa Street as the Kings rode nine double-decker buses and a flatbed truck about one mile to Staples Center. They showed off the Cup, the Campbell Cup and Justin Williams’ Conn Smythe Trophy while confetti flew and fans gave a nonstop standing ovation to the champions.

The team gathered at

the arena for a sold-out rally celebrating the second championship in Kings history. Los Angeles didn’t win a title in its first 43 seasons before winning twice in the last three.

The Kings wrapped up the Cup with Alec Martinez’s double-overtime goal on Friday night, beating the New York Rangers 3-2 to end the finals in five games.

They had to win three consecutive seven-game series to reach the finals, emerging from the tough Western Conference with an overtime victory over Chicago.

Los Angeles has won 10 playoff series while playing 64 post-season games over the past three seasons.

mels’ headed goal as Germany took a 3-0 lead at the break, and added his third goal in the 81st.

Ronaldo started at Arena Fonte Nova after overcoming a knee injury. He faded after

threatening early in the match, including a shot from a break that Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer could only block, but there was nobody from Portugal to pounce on the rebound.

SAN DIEGO - Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn has died of cancer at 54.

Gwynn’s sweet left-handed swing made him one of San Diego’s best-loved athletes. He was nicknamed “Mr. Padre” during his 20-year major league career.

He had been on a medical leave from his job as baseball coach at San Diego State, his alma mater, since late March. Agent John Boggs said Gwynn died Monday in suburban Poway.

Gwynn had two operations for cancer in his right cheek between August 2010 and February 2012. The second surgery was complicated, with surgeons removing a facial nerve because it was intertwined with a tumour inside his right cheek.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married for four years. In that time, we have split up twice, and it wasn’t pretty either time. We have kids together. I pushed getting married when I became pregnant at 19. Then he claimed to fall out of love with me, stopped coming home after work and began treating me like his maid. So I left and took our child. He followed me and swore he’d do better. The second time we split, we fought so much that things were being thrown, and our throats were sore from screaming at each other. For the (now two) kids’ sake, I said we can’t keep fighting and left again.

Here’s the problem now. While we were separated, I fell deeply in love with a married man. We would talk about our troubled lives and build each other up. Every time I see him, the feeling is like thunder in my heart.

But for the sake of our marriages and our children, we went back to our spouses. That was mainly his choice, and although I hung on his every word with disappointment, I agreed.

It’s been a year since my husband and I reconciled, and I stopped speaking to the other man. But I wake up with him on my mind, and he’s in my thoughts 24/7. What’s wrong with me? -- Guilty Conscience Dear Guilty: It’s understandable that you miss the way the other man made you feel, especially because your marriage still seems shaky. However, you have made a commitment to your relationship (and the other man has done the same for his), and you must try to find a way to redirect your emotional energy back to your husband.

Problems within a marriage do not magically disappear. Please get counseling, with or without your husband, and work on the issues that undermine your focus. Do it for your children, if not for yourself.

Dear Annie: Who is responsible for the headings on your column? The one I read the other day said, “Son can’t get pass his anxiety issues.” If it is someone on your team of editors, please tell them the correct word is “past.” -- C.W. Dear C.W.: Normally, we would direct editing questions (and spelling mistakes and other such errors) to our editors. However, we receive so many questions about the headings above our column that we would like our readers to know that the headlines, good or bad, are written by someone at your local newspaper. This is not an easy assignment. We think these folks do an outstanding job, and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank them. Of course, that doesn’t mean an occasional mistake doesn’t slip through.

If the mistakes happen frequently, you can write or phone your newspaper and mention it.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Concerned Grandparents,” who complained that their daughter and her husband are poor housekeepers.

I have high standards of cleanliness, but am completely unable to attain them. My mother-in-law is horrified that our home is not pristine. I have five children. Imagine the clutter: shoes, coats, sports equipment, you name it! We also have pets and farm animals. We do not have many closets, and we do our best to have organizational systems.

There is certainly no mold or bugs, but life is exhausting, and we are trying to enjoy some of it.

“Concerned” says that her daughter does not invite people into her home. I wonder whether the daughter got tired of being berated and stopped inviting the in-laws. That’s what happened to me. I would recommend that “Concerned” be more understanding of the situation and perhaps take the kids for an outing so that the parents have a chance to organize without mess-makers underfoot.

My kids are learning to clean, but it certainly isn’t up to my mother-in-law’s standards. -Busy Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries Cirillo Giuriato 1927 - 2014 Cirillo Giuriato, beloved husband of Maria, went into the arms of our Lord peacefully on Sunday, June 15, 2014, at the age of 87, surrounded by his family.

Cirillo was born in Castelgomberto, Italy on March 18, 1927, one of eight children. He came to Canada in 1952 and shortly after met and married Maria, the love of his life for the past 59 years. He worked in the construction and forestry industries throughout his life; including working for Crestbrook, retiring in 1987.

Although he was a dedicated worker, his family and friends were the focus of his life. He loved to visit with his friends at the Colombo Lodge and had a passion for sports, including soccer, for which he was goalie for the Cranbrook Rovers in the fifties. He especially loved his grandchildren. He loved watching his grandsons play hockey and watching all of his grandchildren’s activities.

Cirillo is survived by his adoring wife of 59 years, Maria, daughters Silvana (Jon) and Dina. He will be lovingly remembered by his nine grandchildren Candice, Kyle, Morgan, Austin, Jason, Darian, Danika, Ashley and Eric (Krystal). Cirillo is also survived by many brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and dear friends in both Canada and Italy. He is predeceased by his daughter Eda; as well as his parents, Ida and Guiseppe; as well as his sister Ivana.

Cirillo’s funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Mary’s Catholic Church (39 – 10 Avenue South) on Thursday, June 19, 2014 at 10:30 am. His Interment will follow in Westlawn Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes in Cirillo’s honour may be made directly to the BC Cancer Foundation, http://bccancerfoundation.com. A special thank you to Dr. Kevin McIver, Dr. Steven Schieman and Dr. Sara Chesney; as well as the wonderful nursing staff at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com
