Council backs zoning amendment ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

Council got behind an zoning amendment that could eventually see a storage business opened at 300 1st Avenue South. The location is currently not zoned for that use.

amendment to the zoning bylaw to add a new use — Covered self-storage including the storage of recreational vehicles and boats to the C2, Highway Commercial Zone. The request was specific to Swanson’s property at 300 1st Ave S. It is

Council’s decision went against the city staff recommended that it not give first reading to the zoning amendment bylaw.

The application comes from Kurt Swanson of KL Swanson Enterprise Ltd. Swanson was asking for an

currently designated Highway Corridor Commercial in the Official Community Plan.

Swanson said the reasons behind the application are as follows: the loss of the current tenant and difficulty of replacing said tenant with a

similar business; no need for change to the building footprint; traffic disruption will not be an issue; a reduction in environmental impact; demand; market difference.

Volunteers raised over $2,700 this past weekend as part of a fundraising effort to provide relief for Nepal, which was hit by a massive earthquake in April. The Bake for the Quake sale, hosted by the Bumble Tree on Saturday, saw lots of foot traffic as people came out to buy some treats and support the cause. Tricia McLeod, who is spearheading the Nepal fundraising campaign, is still collecting donations that she will send directly to people in need in Nepal. To donate to the Nepal campaign, contact McLeod at 250-417-7655 or email at triciamcleod@shaw.ca.

Wildfire risk down due to last week’s rain C AROLYN GR ANT

While there have been many more fires to this date this year than last in the Southeast Fire Centre — 47 in 2015 compared to 16 in 2014 — there is also reason for optimism.

That reason is recent rainfall and no lightning.

“There are a lot of factors that go into the number of fires, but one of them was that it was quite dry earlier this year and dead grass had no chance to green up because the nights were still cool,” said Jordan Turner, information officer for the Southeast Fire Centre. “But we’ve received quite a lot of rain recently and fire risk is greatly decreased. That’s why we lifted the Category 2 open burning ban last week.”

Category 2 fires are those involving fireworks, burning barrels and burning waste in piles under 2 metres by 3 metres.

“Right now, you’re allowed to burn as long as you take proper precautions and have the right tools on hand,” Turner said.

Earlier this year, Turner said that the coming summer fire season risk greatly depended on the amount of rain received in June.

“It’s hard to say whether we got enough rain and it is already drying out some. But there is more rain forecast.

And no lightning makes a big difference.”

There were no new fire starts in this region over the weekend.

Blue Lake offers camp for kids with exceptional needs Fo r t h e Tow n s ma n

This August, children and youth from the Basin will have the opportunity to participate in a specialized summer camp close to home.

Located 40 minutes south of Fairmont Hot Springs and 90 minutes north of Cranbrook, Blue Lake Centre has been a top destination for environment education programming for over 35 years.

A pilot project at Blue Lake Centre will allow campers with special needs to access summer camp opportunities without having to travel outside the region.

Todd Hebert, Blue Lake Executive Director, was approached by a number of parents with the idea to add summer programming specifically for children with special needs. Parents were concerned with

Dubbed “Camp for Kids with Exceptional Needs”, programming will focus on Blue Lake’s standard recreational activities such as canoeing, arts and crafts, and swimming. Environment education programming like water, soil, forest, and wildlife learning will be available as well.

“The camp community provides a positive supportive environment for children and the impact from attending camp can last a lifetime,” Hebert said.

“With few, if any, special needs outdoor overnight camping facilities in the Basin, Blue Lake decided to pursue the opportunity to assist those families with a locally organized program.

visory committee to assist Blue Lake to create a plan for program adaptations and alternatives to programs as required depending on the needs of the campers.

Another component to the program will be a peer mentorship program open to youth with special needs aged 17-29. The camp plans to identify five to six youth interested in leadership development and take them through their regular staff-training program.

They will then job shadow staff during the Camp for Kids with Exceptional Needs.

Carolyn McLean of the Cranbrook Aspergers/autism parent support group was one of the parents that initially approached Blue Lake with the idea.

“With Camp for KIDS with Exceptional Needs, our children can meet new people and make new friendships,” she said. “With autism that can be difficult.

“Blue Lake is giving parents and children opportunities to experience a camp in a safe and supportive way.

Making a dream become a reality for parents and kids in the Kootenays.”

Funding provided through Columbia Basin Trust’s Social Grants has helped to offset some of the costs.

“Without funding from CBT this project would not move forward. External funding such as that from CBT is absolutely vital to our programs. That is what allows the flexibility to consider new programming.” To provide this experience to as many youth as possible, additional funding will be available to campers through the Blue Paddle Campership Fund.

Camp for Kids with Exceptional Needs will take place from August 16-19. Registration is open to everyone and a system is in place to determine the level of care required. Blue Lake will do their best to meet that requirement.

Kimberley to go ahead with flume after all C AROLYN GR ANT

About face! Kimberley City Council, after voting two weeks ago to defer work on the Mark Creek Flume rehab project until it could be brought in on budget, or additional grant money could be found, has changed course and voted to go ahead with the project this year.

The primary factor in the change of course, said Mayor Don McCormick, was that the general contractor Copcan, indicated that more savings could be found in the budget.

“Copcan came back and said they wanted to negotiate until we reached common ground,” McCormick said. “I am looking forward to this safety item being dealt with.”

It is a positive move forward, said Coun. Bev

Middlebrook, who had been the only councillor not to vote for deferment of the project.

“It will be nice for the community to have it completed,” she said.

“We’re not wasting the $400,000 already invested.”

Middlebrook also pointed out that completing the flume project was not going to get any cheaper, and the longer it was deferred the more it was likely to cost.

Councillor Albert Hoglund said he voted against going ahead.

“As Council we said we wouldn’t proceed if it was over budget,” he said. “It is going to be over budget. It could be $150,000, it could be $500,000. There are too many red flags I can’t accept. It won’t be over as much as phase 1 but it will still be over budget. I

$400,000 has already been invested in the Kimberley flume rehabilitation project. think we’re reneging on a promise.”

Coun. Kent Goodwin was quick to point out that Council, in fact, had

made no such promise.

“I don’t believe council as a whole ever said we wouldn’t proceed if it was over budget. The

Interior Health CEO Halpenny resigns effective fall 2015 Submitted

Interior Health’s Board Chair Erwin Malzer Tuesday announced that President & CEO Dr. Robert Halpenny has informed the Board of Directors of his decision to resign in the fall of 2015 in order to pursue other opportunities.

“In his tenure as president & CEO, Dr. Halpenny has been a passionate leader, working tirelessly to improve health care for residents throughout the Interior,” stated Health Minister Terry Lake. “Dr. Halpenny’s mark on patient care has been significant.

Under his leadership, Interior Health has implemented countless programs and services – from major capital investments to community-specific initiatives that provide patients with the care they need closer to home. I wish Dr. Halpenny the very best as he moves on to his next adventure.”

“Over the five and a half years that Dr. Halpenny has served as CEO, he has driven transformative change across the organization with a primary focus on quality improvement in all activities of the health authority,” said Erwin Malzer. “There is not a facility, program or service within Interior Health that does not have his legacy stamped on it — a legacy that will serve us well as we continue our organization’s quality journey into the future.”

“It has been an absolute privi-

Robert Halpenny lege to serve our residents in the Central and Southern Interior, and to support and lead the more than 20,000 staff and physicians who provide care to our patients, clients, and residents every day,” noted Halpenny. “While I will miss the role and especially the people I interacted with each day, it is time for me to pursue other opportunities and for a new CEO to lead Interior Health and our committed, passionate health professionals forward.”

Dr. Halpenny joined Interior Health as Senior Medical Director in January 2007 and was appointed President & CEO by the Board of Directors in January 2010. Prior to joining Interior Health he was the Provincial Executive Director of Cardiac Ser-

vices at the Provincial Health Authority, and Vice President of Medicine at Fraser Health, St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado, and St. Vincent’s Hospital in Vancouver consecutively. Prior to these roles, he established a family practice in Vancouver after spending numerous clinical rotations in Kelowna during the early 1980s.

The Board of Directors has appointed a search committee led by the Board Chair to direct the recruitment process for a new President & CEO. In the coming days, the Board will begin working with an executive recruiting firm to undertake a national search to ensure that the best possible candidates are considered for the role. In the meantime, Dr. Halpenny will remain in his position as President & CEO until his departure in the fall.

Interior Health is committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and providing a wide range of quality health-care services to more than 742,000 people living across B.C.’s vast interior.

Mayor made some pretty strong statements,” Goodwin said.

“We had the feeling we could put the grants on hold,” said Coun.

Sandra Roberts. “That didn’t prove true. We were erasing those grants. It’s always a risk, but it isn’t getting any cheaper and it isn’t getting any safer. I think it

was a prudent and thoughtful decision.”

Coun. Nigel Kitto said he believed the whole process was a lesson learned and perhaps heralded a cultural change at City Hall.

The primary reason for the deferral was money, said McCormick.

“It was way too high

when you consider every project has risks.

But Copcan came back and cut costs so we are within the tolerance.

The risk points are the same this year as next year.

“There will be no shortage of armchair quarterbacks as we proceed and that’s cool. I’d like to assure all those who care, and I’m sure that’s all Kimberley residents, that the lessons learned will be applied and there will be scrutiny on the contractor.”

Asked where the savings were found, McCormick said that the difference between negotiation and choosing not to do a project can cause behaviour to change. Plus, he said, it was in the contractor’s best interest to do the project this summer.

McCormick also said that as far as returning the grant money was concerned, a definitive decision was never reached by the upper levels of government on what would happen if the grant monies were returned.

The driver refused to supply a sample. The officer exercised considerable patience and explained several times the consequences of not providing a sample. The driver still refused, his driver’s license has been suspended for 90 days and his vehicle impounded for 30 days.

Fundraiser for Crime Stoppers underway in East Kootenay F o r t h e Tow n s m a n

The East Kootenay Crime Stoppers Society has launched its 2015 fundraising campaign, again using the help of 4 Elements Consulting Inc., representatives of which will be going door-to-door in the East Kootenay area selling a coupon cards to raise funds for East Kootenay Crime Stoppers.

“Many crimes have been solved thanks to the hard work of Crime Stoppers,” said Eric Ausman, East Kootenay Crime Stopper Coordinator for over twenty years. “You can support your local Crime Stoppers program with the purchase of the coupon package that offers great discounts on products and services from our local Crime Stoppers business sponsors.

“Canvassers are now out going door-to-door; they are wearing orange jackets with the 4 Elements logo on the front as

daily townsman

well as Crime Stoppers Fund raiser. If you are still wary of them, by all means ask for identification. The canvassers carry proper Crime Stopper security badges with them at all times”.

4 Elements canvassers are selling the coupon card offering many discounts and savings from businesses and organizations in the East Kootenay area.

The coupon card, with tax, sells for $28 and canvassers have the technology to accept debit cards at the door. East Kootenay Crime Stoppers’ last campaign raised in 2013 raised $8,200 for the program. This will be the fourth time the program has been run in the East Kootenay area.

“This fund raiser is an important source of revenue for our program along with our annual Frisbee toss at a Kootenay Ice game,” said Ausman.

Crime Stoppers is a commu-

nity program supported by community partnerships and financed through charitable fundraising. The funds raised go directly to pay TIPSTERs their approved rewards from helping to solve crime in our communities and to yearly costs to operate the program.

Since 1992 East Kootenay Crime Stoppers have assisted in the recovering of stolen property and removing drugs from our communities valued in excess of $4,200,000, while paying out approximately $27,000 in rewards. Crime Stoppers has assisted in 194 cases cleared, including 150 arrests.

East Kootenay Crime Stoppers would like to thank all the businesses that have provided services or product for the coupon book and all the citizens that will be helping the program to continue on successfully.

Annual Aquatic Centre closure begins June 14 S ub m i t t e d

The pool at Western Financial Place will be closed for its annual maintenance from Sunday June 14 to July 1, 2015, with the facility reopening to the public on Thursday July 2.

Work includes a full scrub and shine of the entire facility, replacement of filters, painting, tile and grout repairs, replacement of the steam room generator and the replacement of the lights in the aquatic

centre.

It is also important to note that the entire facility including the arena for concourse walking will be closed on the weekends between June 14 and July 1.

Council goes ahead with zoning ammendment bylaw Continued from page 1 City staff noted that as the property is designated as Highway Corridor Commercial, from its perspective, the use of storage and warehousing is already permitted in the the M-1, Clean Industrial Zone, M-2, Light Industrial Zone.

“The property is designated highway commercial and also designated within a highway corridor, which has a specific use categorized for the city in the OCP, and that use is more geared towards the travelling public,” Rob Veg, Acting Director of Engineering, said.

He said since the use already exists in other zones, moving them around can water down the zoning.

“Now we’re looking at adding a use that already exists in the current zoning bylaw into

that commercial component,” he said. “Now we start migrating some of these uses back and forth and that too some degree, from a planning perspective, I have some concerns about starting to dilute some of the zones to that stage where we’re starting to move uses back and forth. At some point we have to draw a bit of a line.”

Coun. Norma Blissett agreed with staff, noting that the amendments would stay with the property even if it were to be sold in the future.

“The idea of having RVs and large things stored there is a concern, and doesn’t seem to be an appropriate use,” Blissett said.

There was also a concern with traffic generation.

“There are a number factors from a land use

perspective,” Veg said.

“It’s hard for us to recommend an application that’s contrary to a policy that we have.”

Coun. Tom Shypitka said he’s sees the area as a “dead area,” and any kind of viable business that will fix it up would be good.

“From what I understand there will be a public hearing involved before this ever goes through,” Shypitka said.

“Residents would have their say, businesses would have their say, and if everybody’s cool with it I think it’s a win for everybody.”

Council voted down the staff recommendation and gave first and second reading to “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3827, 2015.” Coun. Blissett voted in opposition. Mayor Lee Pratt and Coun. Wes Graham were not in attendance at the meeting.

Flip, flop and flume Well, that was interesting. And those, dear readers, are not words you would expect to hear me say after a city council meeting.

But after Monday night’s meeting of Kimberley City Council, I was surprised — one might even go so far as to say gobsmacked — by the news that the collective mind of council had been changed and the flume project was going ahead this summer. In fact, construction will begin in less than 10 days.

First, some background for those who may not have been following this project from day one. The concrete flood protection flume, a utilitarian, most unattractive channel which carries Mark Creek through downtown Kimberley, is failing, has failed, has potential to fail..... That was established back in 2010 when the late Jim Ogilvie was Mayor.

That it had to be rehabbed or replaced was agreed upon. It was a safety issue.

Grants were pursued but difficult to find. It was during the administration of Ron McRae that the work began. While the city had tax payer approval to borrow up to $4.25 million for the project, it was always understood that grants would help pay for it. However, the first phase was completed in 2012, over-budget and without any money from upper levels of government.

There is no doubt that the perceived mishandling of Phase 1 of the flume rehab had an effect on the 2014 municipal election.

However, the first phase was done, and

financing and management aside, it was a hit. The widened river created a swimming hole right downtown, and was quickly dubbed Lake McRae. With the addition of the timber-frame bridge, it has become an idyllic spot on a hot summer day.

But on to phase 2. The grant money finally arrived, though it was not retroactive and the city was on the hook for the full cost of phase 1. New Mayor Don McCormick, who was a councillor during phase 1 construction, vowed that, grant money or not, if the project could not be brought in on budget, it would not proceed.

Carolyn Two weeks ago, CounGrant cil voted six to one (Councillor Bev Middlebrook the dissenting vote) to defer the project until such time as there was sufficient grant money and a budget that could be met. The grants could be returned and re-applied for, was the thought.

But now, two weeks later, that decision is reversed and Council has voted to proceed with the flume this year. The contractor had come up with savings and it could meet budget.

That was the difference, the Mayor said.

There were still risks but the project had to be done and it wasn’t going to get any cheaper down the road.

Mayor McCormick said when asked about the grants that the City had not received a “definitive decision” from upper levels of government on what would happen if the grant money was returned. Prob-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ably because the government, like myself, was gob-smacked at the idea of a municipality returning a grant.

But I’m just going to spit ball here and say that I doubt the good folks at the Building Canada Fund were too keen on taking the money back with the promise that they would be happy to lend the same amount, or even more, when it was more convenient for the city. Not to mention the fact that with a federal election looming in the fall, there is no guarantee the same government will be overseeing said funds.

In any event, here we are. The flume rehab is going ahead, and I’m going to put it out there that I think it’s the right decision. Aesthetics aside, it is a safety issue. For those who scoff at the notion of building it to a 200 year flood event standard, just remember people canoeing through downtown Calgary two years ago. It can happen.

It did happen.

For Mayor and Council, it’s not an easy thing to walk back a decision taken so firmly, so recently. They will get flack over it, and maybe rightly so. But I appreciate the fact that there was a willingness to change course. I appreciate the fact that there does not appear to be a lot of ego involved, or if there is, it was pretty well hidden.

So we’re going ahead. Perhaps if phase 2 involves another widening of the channel for a pool we can call it Lake McCormick.

We’ll see which one is deeper in the end.

Bandits split weekend Victories over Mariners offset by losses to Rangers Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Another weekend in the books for the Cranbrook Bandits and another split entered into the records.

Earning a pair of wins over the Mission Valley Mariners Saturday before falling twice to the Kootenai Valley Rangers Sunday, the Bandits now sit 9-8-1 on the season.

Originally slated to hit the diamond at Confederation Park in Cranbrook, Saturday’s doubleheader with the Mission Valley Mariners was moved south of the border to Polson, Mont., where the Bandits knocked off the host Mariners in consecutive outings.

In the opening game of the doubleheader, the Bandits used a four-run effort in the bottom of the fifth inning en route to an 8-5 victory.

Right-handed pitcher Connor Armstrong (2-1, 3.06 ERA) earned the win for the Bandits, throwing 6.1 innings and striking out two along the way while allowing two earned runs.

A r m s t r o n g (.234/.400/.340) got the job done of both sides of the ball in the opening game Saturday as he knocked a triple in the bottom of the fifth inning, scoring Tyler

Thorn and Rylan D’Etcheverry to put the Bandits ahead for good.

Right-handed reliever Jake Bromley (1-0, 9.45 ERA) came on late in the game, firing 0.2 innings and striking out one to earn the save.

In addition to Armstrong’s efforts at the dish, Cedar Kemp (.333/.442/.381) went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, while Bromley also scored twice.

Starting pitcher Noah McDonald last two innings for the Mariners, but it was reliever Kade Schutzman saddled with the loss after giving up six earned runs on eight hits through four innings of work.

Continuing with the strong offensive output, the Bandits claimed an 11-10 victory over the Mariners in the back half of the doubleheader on Saturday.

Starting pitcher Tyler Thorn (1-1, 2.45 ERA) tossed four innings, allowing two earned runs and striking out seven batters in a no-decision.

Reliever Devon Marra (2-1, 0.58 ERA) took the mound for one inning,

striking out one batter to earn the victory.

On the offensive side of the ball, Robert Nickell (.308/.550/.346) and Kemp each knocked in a pair of runs. Bromley, Carson Meggison and Brandon Ouillette each crossed home twice.

Kemp tallied the winning RBI, reaching first on a fielder’s choice in the bottom of the seventh inning, scoring Ouillette in the process.

Despite working less than an inning on the mound for the Mariners, reliever Zach Evertz was tagged with the loss, surrendering the unearned run to Ouillette.

After picking up two victories Saturday, the Bandits couldn’t maintain momentum in a Sunday afternoon doubleheader in Eureka against the Kootenai Valley Rangers.

The host Rangers took the opening game by a 7-4 margin, before spanking the Bandits 11-1 in the finale.

In the opening game of the doubleheader, the Rangers tallied all their offense in the first two innings of action, scoring twice in the first inning and adding five more runs in the second.

Rookie right-hander Shayne Walker (3-2, 3.14 ERA) started the game on the mound, lasting 1.1 innings. The

Right-hander Rylan D’Etcheverrey (0-0, 0.00 ERA) finished out the game, going 4.2 innings and striking out five with no earned runs.

After falling behind 7-0, the Bandits crossed home twice in the top of the fifth inning to break the goose egg, adding two more runs in the top of the seventh before falling short in the comeback attempt.

Detroit Red Wings hire Jeff Blashill as new head coach Noah Trister Associated Press

DETROIT - Jeff Blashill was hired Tuesday by the Detroit Red Wings, ending a fairly un-suspenseful coaching search that began when Mike Babcock left to take over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Blashill has coached Detroit’s minor league affiliate in Grand Rapids for the past three seasons, and he was an obvious candidate for the Red Wings once Babcock

left. Detroit general manager Ken Holland acknowledged right away that he was going to talk to Blashill about the job, but the Griffins made it to the conference finals in the AHL playoffs. Blashill’s promotion was announced Tuesday.

Blashill led Grand Rapids to the Calder Cup in 2013. He says he’d been eyeing the Red Wings’ job since it became clear Babcock’s future was uncertain.

A Detroit native, Blashill

coached at Western Michigan before joining the Red Wings. Blashill was an assistant coach for the Red Wings in 2011-12 before taking over at Grand Rapids.

Blashill’s success in the minors and familiarity with many players in Detroit’s system made him a clear candidate to replace Babcock. The Red Wings won a Stanley Cup under Babcock in 2008, and they’ve been in the playoffs for 24 consecutive seasons.

KIJHL Coyotes ship defenceman to Campbell River Taylor Rocc a

The Campbell River Storm keep coming back to the KIJHL as they bolster their lineup looking to defend their Cyclone Taylor Cup and Keystone Cup championships in 2015-16.

The Storm announced the acquisition of defenceman Darryl

Senholt (1995) from the Osoyoos Coyotes in exchange for future considerations on June 6.

During the 2014-15 KIJHL season, the 6-foot-5, 201-pound native of Calgary stacked up two goals and 14 points in 40 games.

Senholt previously played 18 games with the Storm during the

2013-14 season.

Senholt becomes the second player Storm head coach and general manager Lee Stone has brought in from the KIJHL this off-season. Forward Braeden Cyra was acquired from the Kelowna Chiefs in exchange for future considerations on May 30.

the victory for the Rangers, lasting 5.2 innings and striking out four while only allowing two earned runs.

In the backend of the doubleheader, the Rangers got in front of the Bandits early and didn’t look back.

After scoring two runs in the bottom of the first inning, the Rangers added four runs apiece in the third and fourth innings to build a commanding 10-0 advantage.

Marra earned the start and was tagged with the loss, lasting two innings. Though he

didn’t give up any earned runs, Marra was in the game long enough to see his team fall behind for good.

Carson Meggison (.188/.341/.188) scored the lone run for the Bandits who were unable to register a hit against Rangers’ starting pitcher Connor Harmon.

Harmon lasted all five innings and claimed the victory, walking one batter and striking out two with no earned runs.

The Bandits return home to Cranbrook this weekend with a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon

against the Libby Loggers.

The Bandits and Loggers have split two games to this point in the season. On May 31, the Loggers claimed a 10-0 victory in the opener of a doubleheader, before falling to the Bandits 9-3 in the back half.

Sunday, the Bandits host the Glacier Twins in another 1 p.m. doubleheader at Confederation Park.

The only meeting of the season between the Bandits and Twins ended in a 1-1 tie on May 30 as rain shut down the contest early.

Czech national hockey coach resigns ASSOCIATED PRESS

PRAGUE, Czech Republic - Czech Republic ice hockey coach Vladimir Ruzicka has resigned following allegations by parents that he demanded money to give their sons a chance of playing when he was in charge of the Slavia Prague club.

Ruzicka has denied any wrongdoing.

He announced his resignation after public radio broadcast the interviews with parents on Tuesday.

Tomas Kral, president of the Czech ice hockey federation, told state TV that Ruzicka’s resignation was “the only possible solution.”

Ruzicka had been under fire since being

accused in April by a father of accepting money to let his son play.

He was backed by the federation then, and the Czechs finished fourth at the world championship at home in May. Ruzicka returned to the national team last year, having led it to world titles in 2005 and 2010.

2022 Winter Olympic bid presentations take place Stephen Wilson Associated Press

LAUSANNE, Switzerland - With the vote less than two months away on who hosts the 2022 Winter Olympics, Kazakh and Chinese leaders are presenting their bids directly to the IOC members who will decide between two starkly different choices.

Leaders of bids from Almaty and

Beijing were making private presentations Tuesday to about 85 International Olympic Committee members at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.

Each was given 45 minutes to explain plans, with another 45 minutes allotted for questions and answers.

The technical briefing could sway opinion ahead of the secret IOC ballot in Kuala Lumpur on July 31.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My dad died two years ago. He was 73. Mom misses him so much. When we visit, she talks about all the nice things Dad used to do. This makes me sick.

When Dad was alive, he never missed a birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day or any other important day. He would always buy candy and flowers and give a card to my mom. I never once saw Mom thank him, and she never bought him a thing, not even a card. I once asked Dad whether he minded not getting a gift from Mom, and he said he had four wonderful gifts already: his wife and three children. He often talked about how he met Mom in school and loved her from Day One. When Dad was alive, I asked Mom why she never got him gifts or cards.

She told me, “He can buy anything he wants. Why should I buy him anything?”

When he called her his high school sweetheart, she would say, “Don’t remind me.” Now she raves about him.

I don’t understand. -- Missing Dad Dear Missing: Your parents developed a certain dynamic over the years: She played hard to get, and he showered her with affection and attention. This probably started in high school. It doesn’t mean they didn’t love each other or that your mother doesn’t miss him terribly. Every couple has their own pattern of behavior, and when it works, both are content, regardless of how it may appear to others. We know you think your father deserved better, but your mother is the one he wanted.

And won.

Dear Annie: Should I have given my daughter a gift on Mother’s Day? She is married and has a child. Father’s Day is coming up. Should I give a gift to my son-in-law? -- Mother Dear Mother: Giving gifts to people on these days is entirely optional. Some people give only to their mothers.

Others give to their mothers and wives.

Still others give to daughters and daughters-in-law. The same goes for fathers, and the list is endless. If you wish to give your daughter a gift on Mother’s Day, by all means do so. If you would rather not set such a precedent, you could give her a card. If you want to do something in between, a card with a rose is lovely, or the two of you could go out for brunch. The same idea applies to sons and sons-in-law. There are no rules about these things, so feel free to start your own traditions.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Fed Up,” who had problems finding clothing in her large, very tall size.

She should look for a tailor or seamstress who can make her clothes to order. Or, she could learn to sew and make her own. That’s what I do, and there is an infinite variety of patterns, fabrics and colors. Knowing how to sew would also allow her to alter any clothes she finds in retail stores. -- P.

New rules for Auditor General for Local Government Jeff Nagel Black Press

The office of the Auditor General for Local Government has new marching orders from the province to

avoid a repeat of problems that led to the firing of first AGLG Basia Ruta.

Legislation is planned to draw clearer lines of responsibility between the AGLG

view carried out by Chris Trumpy after Ruta was removed earlier this year. She had resisted an attempt to review her slow performance in completing audits of mu-

and its governing audit council, and seek to guard against excessive use of contracted consultants.

Those were among the recommendations from a re-

nicipalities.

The office was created by the BC Liberal government to conduct performance audits on local government to help them find savings and

efficiencies. Most civic leaders were skeptical of the initiative’s value from the outset.

Ruta is challenging her dismissal in court.

Your path to the future is here.
