Independent schools offering options for parents if teachers dispute drags into autumn TREVOR CRAWLEY Townsman Staff

While the BCTF and the provincial government remain at a standstill in negotiations for a new collective agreement, it will be business as usual for a few independent schools in Cranbrook.

It will be back to school for students at Kootenay

Christian Academy and St. Mary’s Catholic Independent School on Sept. 2nd, even if the impasse remains between the two sides in the public system.

The situation in the public system has the potential to drag on for weeks, even months, depending on how negotiations go between the B.C. Teachers’ Federa-

tion and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association.

With the new school year fast approaching, there are few options available working parents who want to get their kids into some kind of daycare or community program.

Crime is down in Cranbrook RCMP present latest statistics to City Council

ARNE PE TRYSHEN Townsman Staff

Almost all crime was down in the second quarter of 2014, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, representatives of the Cranbrook RCMP told mayor and council at the Monday, Aug. 18 council meeting.

Staff Sgt. David Dubnyk and Sgt. Brendan McKenna presented the mayor’s report.

“Overall, in almost all

areas, whether it’s criminal code or calls for service to assist the public in one way or another are down almost everywhere,” Sgt. McKenna said.

“The two things that are most at note here, one is the drug file charges which were significantly less in this particular quarter compared to the previous quarter in 2013.

It shows that is is down 68 per cent, from 19 charges in 2013

to six charges in 2014.”

McKenna said the reasons for this aren’t clear.

“From my conversation with the corporal in charge of that drug enforcement unit that’s been active here for a couple of years, essentially most of this is due to the fact that the bigger players have been removed from the street and locked up,” he said.

Local NEWS Head of B.C. teachers’ union calls for government to enter mediation C anadian Press

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — The head of the BC Teachers’ Federation is urging government to enter mediation with teachers in order to end an ongoing strike before the school year starts next week.

At the union’s summer conference in Kamloops, Jim Iker said talks have not moved forward because government has been unwilling to enter mediation with veteran mediator Vince

The province’s 40,000 public school teachers began the strike two weeks before the end of the school year, calling for higher wages, improved class sizes and composition.

B.C.’s finance minister has said the province will give parents with young children $40 a day for child care if the strike extends into the school year.

Options offered to public school parents Continued from page 1 However, there are some available.

Both KCA and St. Mary’s Catholic Independent School are running unique programs, but space is limited.

In response to the job action and lockout between the BCTF and the BCPSEA, KCA has created a daycare program for kids ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 5.

KCA principal Gerald Barkman said he sympathizes with both sides in the public dispute, adding that the school wanted to create a program as an option for local parents.

“We work very close-

ly with a lot of stuff with SD5, so we want to say that Kootenay Christian has a long history of collaboration and cooperation with SD5. For that reason, we do hope that an early and amicable settlement is in sight,” said Barkman. “…We certainly are not trying to be in competition with SD5, but we do realize that there are challenges that all of our families are facing.

We just want to be there as a good steward to help in the community where we can and make this whole issue as easy for the parents to ride it all out.”

As of now, Barkman

is anticipating roughly 20 open spots in the program that will rum from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“We’re doing it simply to help. That’s all we’re doing here,” he continued.

The program will be run by a KCA teacher and after-school program coordinator that won’t exactly simulate a classroom experience, but will have a structure to follow.

“I don’t know how much will be math or English, per se, but there will be worksheets, there’s going to be activities, there will be activities outside, they’ll be planning trips to different places around town,

the museum or to the fire hall or other places,” said Barkman.

Additionally, Barkman said there are still spots open in virtually every grade if parents wish to sign up their kids for a full year at KCA. However, he discourages enrolling kids at KCA who intend to switch back to the public system when a settlement is reached.

“We would be looking more or less to have those be kids who register for the year,” he continued. “We would probably not like to make those just for a month or two.”

For more information on the program,

contact KCA at 250-4260166.

St. Mary’s Catholic Independent School also houses a community program that has been active for the last five years and is governed by Interior Health.

“It’s always been a community program,” said Jerelynn MacNeil, principal for St. Mary’s Independent Catholic School. “You don’t have to go to school here, you don’t have to be Catholic, anybody can use them. They’re meant to service the community.”

The program has a daycare component, which is full, but the after-school segment will have some available

spots from 5- to 11-years old.

“We have an after school program, open to anybody,” continued MacNeil. “We are going to be open mostly likely during the week. If, when school starts, if there are enough people, we will open it from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.”

The staff is all certified and licensed early childhood educators that will take advantage the facilities at the school.

“We’ve got a su-

per-huge room, we’ve got a structured format that is partly inside. It involves physical activity, healthy snacks, crafts, games, a homework club,” said MacNeil. “We have three gyms and three playgrounds so we have all kinds of space.

The program uses all our facilities. Part of the program is located outside, so they get playtime outside, for sure.”

Crime down in Cranbrook, RCMP say Continued from page 1 “So this really shows the effect of crime reduction in that area,” McKenna said.

The other area he highlighted was regarding Immediate Roadside Prohibitions. In the 2013 period there were, in 2014 there were 37, a 411 per cent increase.

McKenna noted that the program was challenged in the courts and the courts ruled against some of the processes that were undertaken by police.

“The IRP was retuned and has been employed again,” he said. “Since it’s come back online in its revised version it’s been very effective.”

Mayor Wayne Stetski said this was a positive report and he asked how safe the sergeant would rate Cranbrook.

“I’ve worked in a number of communities in British Columbia,”McKenna said. “I’ve lived in the north, I’ve lived in the Lower Mainland and I’ve lived here and this is probably the safest community I’ve ever

lived in.”

Person Offences, which include assaults, sexual assaults, assault with a weapon, robbery, threats and criminal harassment were down by 67 per cent.

The second quarter of 2014 had 32 person offences reported, while the fourth quarter of 2013 had 96.

Property related offences include things like break, enter and theft and mischief to property, they were down 21 per cent. The period in 2014 had 227, while the period in 2013 had 286.

The category of Other Criminal Code offences, consists of Causing a Disturbance, Breach/ Bail Violations, Firearms offences, public mischief, obstructing a police officer and counterfeit currency. There were 123 such instances in the period for 2014, down from 160 in the 2013 period.

Coun. Gerry Warner asked about the frequency of distracted drivers.

McKenna said they will sometimes work with East Kootenay Traffic Services, but the report didn’t capture stats on that.

“I know this is something that needs to be addressed,” he said. “I can tell you from personal experience just driving

down the strip, I never drive down the strip without seeing half a dozen people on their cell phones. I think that’s one area we could really use some attention.”

McKenna said they would be adding that for the next quarterly report.

Don’t leave valuables in cars Cpl. Chris Ne wel

In the spring Kimberley RCMP noted a spike in thefts from vehicles. The incidents were often in parking areas near popular hiking trails including Northstar Rails to Trails.

Police took a pro-active approach and in addition to increasing random patrols put notices on the parked vehicles advising them of the thefts. The notices suggested owners remove valuables from sight and report anything suspicious to

police.

The number of reported thefts decreased significantly.

But police want to ensure trail users remain vigilant. The Northstar Rails to Trails Society recently partnered with the local RCMP and placed signs in a number of the parking areas as a reminder, not to leave valuables in your vehicle.

Although the police are out in the community actively patrolling areas, public education and awareness is often the key to curtaining criminal activity.

news/opinion

In May, 2014, I had a massive heart attack. I was transported by ambulance Code 3 from Cranbrook to the Intensive Care Unit in Calgary’s Foothills Hospital.

During the trip, the crew was notified by phone with instructions to transfer me to another ambulance with another crew, close to the Alberta border. The three phone calls were conducted quietly, but still very upsetting to me.

The outcome was two drivers were exchanged for the new drivers, and the two paramedics from Cranbrook remained in the Cranbrook ambulance with me. I was very relieved when they stayed.

This practice of exchanging ambulance and crew was devised to save money. This policy must change, as it is the last thing you want when you are sick and in a vulnerable state. Very upsetting.

Thank you to the two paramedics for standing their ground to stay with me.

They got me to Calgary safely. I felt valued.

B. McKay Cranbrook

Love of the game

I would like to thank Bob Johnstone for his support of the Annual Julyfest soccer tournament. We very much appreciate this and enjoy seeing Bob and many other local soccer players, retired and otherwise, throughout the course of the weekend tournament.

Both Terry Ross and I were mentioned in Bob’s letter as organizers, and I feel it would be remiss not take the opportunity to mention the others that are an integral

part of the committee. Jeff Bates of Kimberley, Dave White of Cranbrook, and Dave Stasiak of Calgary are three fine individuals whom devote a great amount of time and effort to the event.

We are also very fortunate to be sponsored by Kimberley Lodging Co, Runners RV, Marysville Pub and Grill, and Breeze Media.

The main impetus behind the tournament is our collective love of the game, and our desire to give back, to facilitate the enjoyment of soccer by others. We have loved playing the soccer, and the community that you become part of when you are involved. This tournament is a celebration of this as much as anything. Any added financial benefit to the region is considered a bonus by us.

We are fortunate enough to be able to return some of that financial windfall directly to the community, with over three thousand dollars donated to the Kimberley food bank, and a similar amount gifted to Selkirk Secondary Students through the form of a scholarship, all within the last three years.

A big thanks to all that have supported our efforts through the years, and we look forward seeing many of you again through the years to come.

Yours in sport; Simon Davidson

Activity choices

Registering and scheduling activities for children is on every parent’s To Do List at this time of year. There are many choices in our area, and many things to consider.

Yearly costs, amount of lesson time/practice time required, how busy do you want your young children to be, and most importantly how will the activity affect them this year and in the future?

Are you looking more for short-term fun or long-term skills and benefits? What is the best age to begin each activity?

Three to seven years of age is prime time to start music lessons. Some sporting activities are better to begin a little older. It is important that parents investigate all the options and be aware of any extra essentials along the way (tournament fees, travel costs, uniform or supply costs, etc.) How long is the lesson, practice or game? Are parents required to stay, participate or volunteer through the year?

Investigate the instructor’s certification — do they have teaching qualifications beyond being proficient at their skill? For young children especially, the teacher’s experience, qualifications and communication style is as important as the skill itself. Ask for references, talk to friends, ask about the curriculum and goals for the year, see their facility, sit in on a lesson or class, make an informed decision.

Young children are like sponges — learning choices at this time will affect their social development, success at school, emotional maturity, memory and self-esteem. There is not enough time or money to do everything, so do your research, consider your budget and all the available options to make wise choices for your young children and your family.

Jumbo resort puts in bridge Ste ve Hubrecht Columbia Valley Pioneer

Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality, during council’s most recent meeting, adopted a bylaw allowing ski resort infrastructure to be built in the municipality and approved a cheque register that included funds for a bridge being installed by the municipality in Jumbo Valley.

The bylaw allows for the construction of ski lifts, lodges and other ski resort infrastructure, and applies to the controlled recreation area in the higher alpine areas of the municipality, with the exception of the Farnham Glacier. Jumbo council gave it first and second reading during last month’s council meeting (Tuesday, July 15) and held a public hearing on it two weeks ago (on Wednesday, August 6).

“I’ve read the public hearing report and I just couldn’t see anything there to stop us from proceeding with this bylaw,” said Jumbo councillor Steve Ostrander at the Tuesday, August 19 council meeting.

Jumbo mayor Greg Deck pointed out that since the municipality was incorporated to help move forward the creation of a world class ski area, a zoning bylaw that allows for ski resort infrastructure only makes sense.

“It’s not unexpected, in fact it would be extremely odd if it didn’t occur. But it is another milestone nonetheless,” said Mr. Deck.

Councillor Nancy Hugunin asked about the scope of the bylaw, which she said seemed quite broad.

“This is intentionally broad, to allow the

Master Plan to go ahead, without the details and specifics of the Master Plan,” said Jumbo chief administrative officer Mark Read, adding the Master Plan is an agreement between the developer and the province.

“We’re (the municipality) playing a secondary role, filling in the niches and gaps that normally wouldn’t be the role of the province; for instance, building codes,” said Mr. Read. “Under the letters patent we (the municipality) are not allowed to vary from the Master Plan.”

“The intention of creating the municipality was to have a municipal structure to advance the Master Plan,” added Mr. Deck.

At the end of discussion, the bylaw was given third reading and adopted.

The cheque register approved by council at the meeting, at more than $34,000, was significantly higher than normal, because it included a 50 per cent deposit payment (totalling nearly $32,500) for the purchase of a bridge, which the Jumbo municipality will install at the creek crossing on kilometre 15.8 of the Jumbo Creek Forest Service Road. The Jumbo municipality will also pay the remainder of the cost for the bridge, once it is in place. Having it installed will cost $74,000. Glacier Resorts Ltd. will make a developer’s contribution by providing project management.

“From any perspective it’s hard to imagine a more important piece of infrastructure than a bridge that will allow access,” said Mr. Deck, adding some of the federal funding the municipality has received was earmarked for transportation-related

items.

Mr. Read said the municipality is currently in the process of reviewing the installation contract.

“We’re trying to move forward as expediently as possible (with the bridge) since the window of time for construction is small,” said Mr. Read.

The bridge will be a 60-foot (18-metre) long post and pillar structure, using steel with a wood deck, said Glacier Resorts Ltd. vice president Grant Costello.

Mr. Costello asked Mr. Read about the West Kootenay EcoSociety’s amendments to its legal petition against the Jumbo municipality.

“I would call it subtle changes to the petition,” said Mr. Read, adding the only real primary change from his perspective is Gerry Wilkie (who has submitted affidavits for the petition) clarifying that he is doing so as a private citizen, and not in his elected position as Regional District of East Kootenay Area G director.

“We’re working on a potential response (to the amendments),” said Mr. Read. “This would be a good time for them to ask for a court date if they actually want to have any impact on us moving forward.”

Council members asked Mr. Costello how progress on the resort project is going.

“Everything’s moving and progressing,” said Mr. Costello, listing off a number of items the developers are moving forward with. “The lift design is complete and we’re ready to go up and survey the line; the well drillers have been identified and the concrete contractor has been selected.”

Ruts in road to farmland changes The month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment.

I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public.

I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was traveling around B.C. with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the findings should be made public in September as the government considers new regulations.

The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now allowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm products to be sold from farms.

Letnick defended the 30-day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions developed with staff, farm groups and local government. He’s also

not counting how many emails were stacked up by proponents or critics.

“I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to do is come up with the best balance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more BC VIEWS forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions, Tom and also won’t talk about Fletcher them directly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms.

The government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, including subdivision for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more.

“I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.”

She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses.

“You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that attached to somebody’s res-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

idence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.”

She noted that non-farm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business.

A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food processing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications.

Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial.

Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland.

Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through.

Return of the Ice age

Kootenay Ice training camp opens this week as club moves forward without Sam Reinhart

Chris Pullen Photo/CranbrookPhoto.com

Kootenay Ice training camp gets underway this week at Western Financial Place as the team embarks on the 2014-15 WHL season. All sessions are open to the public free of charge.

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice training camp officially gets underway Aug. 27 at Western Financial Place and while many familiar faces remain, three key pieces to last year’s puzzle won’t be around.

Sam Reinhart was named the WHL Player of the Year following an outstanding season in Cranbrook that saw the 18-year-old captain rack up 36 goals and 105 points in 60 games with the Ice. That success didn’t go unnoticed as Reinhart was scooped up by the Buffalo Sabres with the second overall selection at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft this past June.

The native of North Vancouver will be busy preparing for his first ever professional league training camp and won’t be with the club when veterans hit the ice “I don’t think you can replace Sam Reinhart,” said Ice general

manager Jeff Chynoweth. “Lets be perfectly honest, he’s one of the premier players in major-junior hockey.”

Also expected to make the jump to the professional ranks is forward Tim Bozon.

After a frightening bout with meningitis, the 20-year-old will likely spend the 2014-15 season with the Montreal Canadiens AHL affiliate in Hamilton.

The other key cog fans will notice absent is goaltender Mackenzie Skapski.

The 20-year-old netminder guarded the net in 53 games for the Ice last season, ringing up 28 wins on the strength of a 2.70 goals-against average and 0.916 save percentage.

The native of Abbotsford was drafted in the sixth round of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft (170th overall) by the New York Rangers.

The expectation is Skapski could spend the

2014-15 season further honing his skills with the Rangers’ AHL affiliate in Hartford though he does remain eligible to suit up for the Ice should the Rangers decide his game isn’t where it needs to be in order to stick with the Wolf Pack.

Despite the near certain departure of Reinhart and the undetermined status of Skapski, the Ice will have a core group of players returning for the 2014-15 season including forwards Jaedon Descheneau, Jon Martin, Luke Philp and goaltender Wyatt Hoflin.

“You win the Western Hockey League with 18, 19 and quality 2 0 - y e a r - o l d s ,” Chynoweth said. “We think we’ve got a good, quality group in that age mix and time will tell.”

All training camp sessions are open to the public free of charge.

While Reinhart and Skapski won’t be on the ice, fans will be afforded a first glimpse of the

club’s next generation of talent.

Alexander Chirva is an intriguing off-season addition who could help fill the void left down the middle with the expected departure of Reinhart.

The 18-year-old Russian was picked up by the Ice in the 2014 CHL Import Draft after

spending the 2013-14 season with the Moose Jaw Warriors.

The 6-foot-1, 181pound pivot posted two goals and six points in 58 games with the Warriors, though those numbers might be deceiving.

“In talking to fellow general managers and NHL scouts, they think there’s some potential

there [in Chirva],” Chynoweth said. “It’s always tough for a 17-year-old who comes over [to North America from overseas] to play major junior hockey. It’s a big jump.

“Obviously [Alex] understands the language, he understands the league, he understands the travel [after playing in Moose Jaw]. He’s ahead of a lot of guys who are here for the first time. We think there’s some potential there and hopefully it comes to fruition.”

The Ice drafted 10 players at the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, including first-round pickup Griffin Mendel, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound blueliner from Kelowna.

Another intriguing name to join the organization via the 2014 draft is second-round selection Jakob Walter, a goaltender from Kamloops.

With Skapski’s status up in the air and returning puckstopper Wyatt Hoflin expected to get first

crack at taking over between the pipes, there still remains one vacancy in the crease.

While it isn’t common to see a goaltender crack the lineup immediately following his draft year, Walter will be a fresh face to keep eyes on as he could be the future in net for this club a year or two down the line.

The Ice have invited a total of 61 players to camp this year with six goaltenders, 19 defencemen and 36 forwards expected to lace up the blades in hopes of securing a place in the lineup.

“Training camp gives our coaches and scouts a great opportunity to evaluate our recent draftees, as well as to gauge the development of our returning and list players,” said Ice director of scouting Garnet Kazuik in a team release. “We anticipate our camp to be very competitive, as these players have worked hard all summer to try

and earn a spot on our team this season.”

Chynoweth is particularly excited about some of the 1997- and 1998-born prospects entering this season, suggesting as many as two or three 16-year-olds could have an opportunity at winning a roster spot.

“We’re excited with what we’ve got,” Chynoweth said. “We think there is some potential there.

“Yeah, you can’t replace Sam Reinhart. You can’t replace Tim Bozon. But we do have some good young players coming up and a good core of veterans that know what it takes to win in the Western Hockey League.”

Veterans hit the ice today at 10 a.m. Fitness testing takes place tomorrow. The first official on-ice session sees the veterans get to it at 9 a.m.

Wednesday. Following the veterans skate, puck drops on the first prospect game at 11 a.m.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Tap into your creativity when dealing with a willful associate.

This person could be irrational, and he or she might be stuck on an idea about a particular topic.

Take a deep breath, and decide on a new resolution. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might not be in a Monday mood right now; you probably would be happier being frivolous or in weekend mode. A partner or loved one could be quite irritable and difficult. Your feelings will intensify as the day goes on. Tonight: You have a choice to make!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Return calls right away, as there could be some information waiting to be shared. Schedule meetings only after you have caught up on those calls. You might want to change your plans slightly. Check out an offer that might affect your personal life. Tonight: Implement a

change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Take stock of your finances before you get going today; you might have made a mistake in your math. A risk will seem like a bad idea, no matter how you look at it. A discussion in the late afternoon could be more significant than you initially realize. Tonight: Let work become play.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll start the day feeling energized, but an obstacle with a family member is likely to slow you down. Consider your options more carefully. A partner will have a lot to share. Be more open today. Tonight: Meet a friend for munchies and to catch up on news.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Sometimes it takes a lot to get you straightened out when you are this off-kilter. You tend to be guarded with your words right now. Tonight: Feeling your Wheaties. Anything goes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

A friendship holds unusual significance at this moment. This person makes all the difference in what happens to you and your choices. You’ll feel supported. An issue that causes financial tension could need some clarification. Tonight: Vanish quickly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to head in a new direction or do something very differently. There is a side of your personality that is not a risk-taker, and it could hold you back. A discussion later in the day will point the way to a path that suits you better. Tonight: Be noticed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Look beyond the obvious. Detach in order to see what is going on behind the scenes. You’ll need to get past a moment of negativity that could be coloring your thinking. Once you decide to go in a certain direction, others will follow. Tonight: Could go very late.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A partner or associate has a vision that he or she would

like to share with you. Try to be supportive, even if you feel out of sorts. A meeting will allow everyone to air out his or her feelings. Pull back rather than trigger. Tonight: Use your imagination.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others will come toward you.

You are likely to gain a new perspective as a result of what you hear and see. Try to get a broader vision of what is going on. A must appearance later in the day might get you thinking.

Tonight: Enjoy chatting with a favorite person over dinner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Move in a new direction. Don’t overthink things; otherwise, you could feel your confidence drop. Someone will want you to follow him or her. You might want to say “yes” and see a situation through this person’s eyes.

Tonight: It would be best not to be alone.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Our daughter will be a college freshman this year. She has been texting her new roommate so they can learn a little about each other.

Our daughter recently received a text from her new roomie stating that her parents and boyfriend will be bringing her to the campus. Her parents will be staying in her brother’s apartment, but the boyfriend is planning to stay in the girls’ dorm room. The room has two twin beds and very little space.

I was disappointed to hear this. My daughter is also bummed, but she is afraid to rock the boat with a new roommate. I contacted the university to see what their policy is.

Even though it is an all-girl dorm, there is no policy against men staying in the rooms.

We very much want our daughter to have a good roommate experience. However, we do not want her to have to put up with a boyfriend in her room throughout the year. Do you have any suggestions? -- Mom Dear Mom: These are the kinds of problems that crop up in college dorms, and your daughter needs to work them out herself.

She can talk to her new roommate, asking how often the boyfriend will be around and whether they can go to his place instead. She can get a privacy screen so this activity is not in her face. But we also recommend she ask to be placed with a different roommate, if not for this semester, then for the next one.

Regardless of the university’s policy, they do not want the students (or their parents) to be unhappy with their living arrangements.

Dear Annie: Is it OK to send a copied thank-you letter? It would definitely make my life easier. I am a very busy person and will basically be saying the same thing to everyone. At least I’m sending one, right? Is it tacky? -- Not Old School Dear Not Old School: Yes, it’s tacky. Did everyone send you the exact same gift? No? Then you cannot send the exact same thankyou note. A proper thank-you says something specific about the gift. If your friends and family can take the time and money to give you something, you can take the time to write them a decent note of thanks. We know you are busy. You don’t have to write them all at once. Set aside enough time to write four a day, and you’ll be done in no time -and proud of yourself, too.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Worried Wife,” who fears her husband is a pedophile.

He absolutely is.

I am now 50 years old. Twenty years ago, my father, a respected community member, was accused of being a pedophile, but the case was not prosecuted. Our whole family went to therapy. My father admitted he had molested the poor boy and also that he had molested several other boys in prior years.

At that time, I told him that if I ever suspected him of molesting another child, I would turn him in to the police. I did so 10 years later. It turned out he had a string of male victims going back nearly 50 years. I only wish I had turned him in earlier. While it is sad that my 80-year-old father is in prison and will no longer communicate with me, it was the right thing to do. I am thankful that I was able to end his abuse of innocent human beings.

My father was never observed kissing or touching boys. We just knew he had an unnatural attraction for them. “Worried Wife’s” situation is far more blatant. She may want to keep him out of jail for her daughters’ sakes, but be assured that this young boy is only a stop on the way to his next victim. -- F.

The Teddy Bear Scavenger Hunt, a fundraiser for the Cranbrook and District Arts Council, came to a colourful conclusion Saturday, Aug. 23, in Rotary Park in Cranbrook. Dozens of bears had been dressed up and given unique personalities by businesses and residents, and a team of judges selected the best from several categories. Many contestants elected to keep their bears, but eight choice bruins are up for silent auction at the Cranbrook Arts Council at 104-135 10th Avenue. The auction runs through Sept. 30.
