brother’s son, Phingo Sherpa Chewa.

Rinee’s home was de-stroyed by the earthquake, but he’s been able to build a temporary shelter. However, complicating the recovery and reconstruction efforts is the fact that monsoon season is fast approaching.

While the quake itself caused an immeasurable amount of destruction, after-shocks also rattled the coun-try in the following days.

Witnessing the tragedy and death around them as they tried to help out where they could, McLeod came to believe they weren’t going to make it out of the country alive.

C AROLYN GR ANTVolunteers in Kimberley and Cranbrook work

tirelessly behind the scenes in countless ways, and last Friday night at the St. Eugene Resort it was their time to shine.

The Canadian Mental Health Association Kootenays hosted their annual Volunteer Gala and four special awards were presented — Vol-unteer Family of the Year, Youth Volunteer of the Year, Volunteer Group of the Year and Volunteer of the Year.

Lori Stolson organized the evening for CMHA and says the evening is always a highlight for her.

“It’s always sold out. It’s a great evening.“The Canadian Mental Health Association

hosts the gala. We put out a call for nominations to all non-profits who host volunteers.”

What’s the connection between mental health and volunteering?

It’s pretty simple, says Stolson.“Our community absolutely needs volunteers

to provide services where there are gaps; espe-cially with seniors. Volunteers fill those gaps.

“But it’s enormously beneficial to the volun-teers themselves. You feel good having a pur-pose, and it gives you a sense of belonging to your community.”

The evening itself could not take place with-out the sponsor, Investors Group.

“Without them there is no way we could pull this off,” Stolson said. “And I have to mention St. Eugene as well. They really help us with the cost of the pavilion.”

Winning Volunteer Group of the Year was Bud Abbott and Friends.

ARNE PETRYSHENJune is often the raini-

est month in the East Kootenay and it looks to be starting off in exactly that way.

Doug Lindquist, Envi-ronment Canada Meteo-rologist, said the weather pattern is coming up from the south.

“The flow comes from the other direction, the opposite direction (of usual), that’s why we call it the June monsoon,” Lindquist said. “Today I had to look at the satellite picture coming from Montana to figure out what is going to happen in Kelowna.”

He said that May was one degree above aver-age. The temperature over May averaged 12.3 degrees Celsius, with the average for the month being 11.3.

“So that was a good amount over average,” he said.

On the precipitation side of things, it was a dry month with only 19 mm of precipitation —  far below the usual 46 mm.

“So quite dry, but as usual we expect the mon-soon rains to start as early as the middle of May,” he said. “Sure enough around May 25, 26 you started to pick up rain more frequently.”

Lindquist said there were no records set. The high median temperature was 19.9 degrees, and it is usually 17.9 degrees.

so much behind us

TRE VOR CR AWLEYIt’s been less than a month

since the Mcleods have re-turned from Nepal, but the experience of surviving a massive earthquake that struck the country in April is still fresh.

Alex and Tricia McLeod were trekking through the country on a trip to celebrate their anniversary when the 7.8-magnitude quake hit on April 25th.

After a two-week journey spanning from remote moun-tainous communities to the capital city of Kathmandu where they helped out wher-ever they could, they boarded a flight and returned home to Cranbrook.

While they’ve settled back into the family routine of

work, kids and school, the memories of the devastation and of the life-long friend-ships they made still linger.

“I wouldn’t have changed anything,” said Tricia Mc-Leod. “I wish I could take back the hurt and the pain and the devastation, but what we learned of Nepal and of ourselves and of mankind—I would not have changed this trip for the world.”

The McLeods were in a Nepali teahouse when the earthquake hit just before noon local time. Their guide, Ang Pema Sherpa, dove over Tricia to protect her with his body as the building started to collapse.

As people ran outside, he was struck in the head by a falling brick.

Despite some initial con-cern from the wound, Pema was able to receive medical attention and is on the road to recovery.

However, the McLeod’s bond extends beyond Pema and into his family, as they are also connected with his brother, Rinee Sherpa and his

The Ktunaxa Nation and the Cranbrook Home Depot are once again teaming up to raise money for homeless and at risk of homeless people in the Cran-brook area.

Starting on May 28 and last-ing until July 2, every $2 dona-tion at the Cranbrook Home Depot goes to Operation Street Angel through the Orange Door

Project. Last year, the Cranbrook

Home Depot was one of the top three in terms of donations given versus store transactions in all Canada and had dona-tions raised matched by Home Depot of Canada. This year, Home Depot of Canada will once again match the donations raised at the top three stores.

This is the second year in a

row that the Cranbrook Home Depot has chosen Operation Street Angel as the beneficiary of its Orange Door Project. Last year through this partnership, over $15,000 was raised with the proceeds being used to ren-ovate Operation Street Angel’s new location at 46-17th Avenue South.

Operation Street Angel is a program initiated by the Ktu-

naxa Nation that provides ser-vices to homeless and vulnera-ble populations in the Cran-brook area including hot nutri-tious meals, nurse practitioner and mental health services, ad-vocacy, employment and jus-tice services.

You can read more about the Orange Door Project at www.homedepot.ca/founda-tion.

Patients who have endured excessive waits for surgery may get into the operating room fast-er this summer.

The province is in-jecting $10 million into the system to perform an extra 1,000 surgeries province-wide in an ef-fort to reduce wait times.

The extra money will be targeted for patients who have waited longer than 40 weeks for sur-gery, Health Minister Terry Lake said Mon-day.

Orthopedic surger-ies, cataracts, hernias, plastic surgeries and ear, nose and throat pro-cedures will be eligible for accelerated treat-ment.

Lake said the money

B.C. adds $10m to cut surgery wait timesPrOvinCe

Some procedures to be done by private clinics

will open up extra oper-ating room time in hos-pitals across the prov-ince, and in some cases it will be used to con-tract private clinics to perform extra day sur-geries.

“Patients want to have their surgeries done,” Lake told report-ers. “If the quality is there and if it reduces wait lists and it’s paid for and administered by the public system, I think British Columbians would agree with that approach.”

Just one per cent of surgeries in B.C. were performed by private clinics using public funds in 2013.

It’s not yet clear how much that might in-crease but Island Health said in April it’s seeking a private clinic operator to provide up to 4,000 day surgeries a year, or about 10 per cent of the region’s annual total.

Further cash infu-sions for surgery in-creases are expected in the fall and early next year.

Along with the prom-ised short-term relief, the province is also pur-suing longer-range measures to make the surgical system more ef-ficient.

Many family doctors often refer to the same heavily booked surgeon due to reputation or preference, while other surgeons are sometimes idle.

Lake said one alter-native may be to instead shift to a pool of sur-geons where patients get assigned to the first one available.

Similarly, patients who face a long wait to get into their local hos-pital may be urged to instead get their surgery performed at another hospital an hour or so down the road where

OR time is going un-used.

“For patients, it’s not as convenient perhaps,” Lake said. “But it is an opportunity to have their surgery done fast-er.”

More recruitment and training of anaes-thetists and surgical nurses is also part of the long-range plan.

B.C. has increased the numbers of surger-ies it performs over the years, but demand has risen faster.

Lake pointed to soar-ing demand for proce-dures such as hip re-placements over the last 15 years as patients real-ize what recent medical advancements now offer them.

Each year there are more seniors who are typically living longer lives.

“We know these sur-geries are becoming the expectation for people

who want to live a good quality of life and that is the demand we want to meet.”

More than 50 of the province’s nearly 300 operating rooms are not regularly staffed, ac-cording to a health min-istry discussion paper on surgical reform.

It said operating rooms are generally idle because health authori-ties have insufficient funds to run them, but in some cases they’re shuttered because of a lack of specialized staff such as anaesthestists or insufficient local de-mand.

According to the pro-vincial surgical wait time website, the typical patient is waiting 45 weeks for knee replace-ment surgery and up to 10 per cent of them wait 77 weeks or longer. B.C.’s target is to complete knee surgeries within 26 weeks.

Volunteers honoured at CMHA galaAbbott is a familiar

name to everyone but this recognition was specifical-ly for the way he and his musical group entertain se-niors in both Kimberley and Cranbrook on a weekly basis.

“They play every Wednesday morning and afternoon and every Thurs-day afternoon,” Stolson said. “They are wonderful.”

“What a kid,” says Stol-son of Youth Volunteer Maddie Guimont of Kim-berley. “She is active in Free the Children — she started with the club in Grade 5. She is with the East Kootenay Volleyball Club, one of the leaders in the Halloween food drive, We Scare Hunger, one of the organizers of the 24-hour famine held earlier in May. She went to Haiti last year with Hungry for Life and volunteered in a clinic. She’s a very busy girl and so sweet.”

Winning Volunteer

Family of the Year were the Korans, who focus most of their volunteer hours around minor sports and the Kimberley Dynamiters. Chad is president and trainer for the Nitros, coaches minor baseball and is a call-rank firefighter for the City of Kimberley. Nicole has served as man-ager for many minor hock-ey teams, organized the very successful Bantam provincial championships in Cranbrook this year, and runs the concession as the Civic Centre all weekend.

“A very well deserved recognition for this family,” Stolson said.

Finally, Volunteer of the Year went to Carol Fergus, whose name is synonymous with the arts in Kimberley. Whether its the Home Grown Coffee House or First Saturdays, Carol will always be found behind the scenes doing the heavy lift-ing that keeps events such as these going.

“You were just going to keep helping until the day that you actually died because you just came to accept that you were going to die, that you probably weren’t going to see your kids again,” she said.

“...It really shocked

me that we actually made it back home. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever thought that we would hug our kids again.”

Unable to remain idle after witnessing the devastation first-hand, Tricia is spearheading a

fundraising campaign to raise money that she can send over directly to people she met while on her trip.

She is collecting do-nations personally, via cash, cheque, or email transfer, rather than set-ting up a crowd funding page such as GoFund-

Me because those web-sites take a percentage of the total.

That means donors have to have an element of trust in McLeod, as she will be splitting the money between Rinee, who is rebuilding his home, and Dinesh Deuja, who will be tak-ing the other half to help with reconstruction ef-forts in a small village in the district of Sindupal-chok that was one of the hardest-hit places of the quake, with over 2100 confirmed deaths.

“Now is when they need help,” she said. “With monsoons com-ing and dysentery and the dead animals and bodies and open sew-age…you thought it was

bad, this is when it’s going to get bad.”

While in the village in the Sindupalchok dis-trict, the McLeods had stuffed a hockey bag full of apples and t-shirts collected from a remote hospital they had helped clean up. Tricia became known as the ‘Apple Lady’ as they trekked further up the mountain, handing out apples and t-shirts to mobs of kids.

While the kids had smiles on their faces and proudly wore their new t-shirts, McLeod was also struck with feelings of helplessness.

“I didn’t give you a place to sleep,” she said. “I didn’t keep you out of the rain. I didn’t help

you bury your dead cow. I really did not help you.

“It made me feel good for a while, but did I really do anything?”

There’s no deadline for her fundraising ef-forts save for a loose goal of $10,000 - $15,000. Because she’s collecting everything herself and sending the money di-rectly to the individuals themselves, she can’t issue a tax-deductible charitable receipt.

While donations have been pouring in through a Facebook page (search for ‘Nepal - Giving Back’) that she’s created, she’s also fan-ning the flames for grassroots movement to keep people aware of the Nepali recovery and

reconstruction efforts. In that spirit, Bum-

bletree Baby is hosting a bake sale on Saturday, June 6th, from 10 a.m - 1 p.m., where people can stop by for some treats with proceeds going to-wards McLeod’s Nepal fund. They will be ac-cepting donations in the form of money and also for baked goods that can be sold at the table. As for cash or cheque do-nations, nothing is too big or too small. Even something as little as $5 can go a long way in Nepal, she said.

For more informa-tion about the fundrais-ing efforts, contact Mc-Leod directly at 250-417-7655 or email at tri-ciamcleod@shaw.ca

McLeod family raising money for Nepal relief

Winning Volunteer Family of the Year were the Korans from Kimberley. Above are Chad, who serves as President and trainer of the Kimberley Dynamiters, coaches baseball and serves as a call rank firefighter with the City of Kimberley; the Bulletin’s own Nicole, whose feet rarely hit the ground during minor hockey season — especially this year as she orga-nized the Bantam Tier 2 Provincial championships in Cranbrook — and son Braiden. Missing from the photo is the Koran’s youngest son Joey. Both boys volunteer at the concession at the arena during minor hockey and Dynamiter games.

Lindquist said there is an El Niño pattern, but it doesn’t mean much for us in B.C. in the summer. However, the sea sur-face temperature is west of the BC coast is warmer than usual.

“It is as high as three to five degrees above average, from the Gulf of Alaska down to off the Oregon Coast,” he said. “That means that just based on that

there’s a high probability that our summer will be above aver-age because our water tempera-ture has such an effect on British Columbia.”

Lindquist said Cranbrook has an 80 per cent chance of having a warmer than average summer.

“So there’s a very high likeli-hood that summer will be warm-er than average,” he said. “For precipitation, beyond a week we can’t really say much. It’s not

forecastable.”He said the rain will begin to

dry up by the end of the week and by Friday a strong ridge of high pressure will be upon us. He said he wouldn’t be surprised to see temperatures into the 30s this weekend, or into next week.

“The average high for this year is 22 and the average low is 6, so we’re going to be way above average,” he said, noting the rain then sunshine bodes well for plants.

PAGE 6 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 2015

L ate last year, the governments of the European Union, having refused to share the cost of a very successful

operation called Mare Nostrum in which the Italian Navy rescued tens of thousands of refugees from sinking boats in the Medi-terranean, replaced it with a much smaller operation called Operation Triton. Its pur-pose (though they didn’t put it exactly that way) was NOT to rescue the refugees, be-cause then they ended up in the European Union.

Triton was a “coast-guard” operation, with a third of the budget of Mare Nostrum and orders only to patrol Italian and Mal-tese coastal waters. They could save any boatloads of refugees that made it that far, but they were not to do “search and rescue” opera-tions off the Libyan coast, which is where most of the overloaded boats actually founder.

Inevitably, the death toll from drown-ings in the first five months of this year was thirty times higher than in the same peri-od last year: at least 1,750 human beings. The losses were so shocking that an emer-gency EU meeting in late April boosted Triton’s budget back up to the level of Mare Nostrum — but they didn’t change its “mission”. It was still only supposed to operate in EU coastal waters.

But then something odd happened. Last weekend, ships from the Italian, Brit-ish, German and Irish navies rescued more than 4,000 people in two days — the vast majority of them just off the Libyan coast. The EU has not condemned the operation, but it wasn’t really the EU’s plan. What drove it was the sheer reluc-tance of the navies to stand by and let

people drown.The European politicians face a huge

demand from their electorates to stop the seemingly endless flow of “migrants” (the preferred term for refugees, since it elicits less sympathy) across the Mediterranean. 170,000 people made it across last year, and it could be double that number this year unless lots and lots of them drown. But the voters (or most of them) don’t

want to hear about that, and most of the politicians are not very brave.

So the politicians did what the voters wanted. At some level they must have understood the conse-quences of stopping the search-and-rescue opera-

tion, but they found ways of lying to them-selves. First of all they said that all these life-saving operations were just encourag-ing more people to risk the crossing. Stop saving them, and they won’t come.

Ridiculous: these are desperate people who have already faced many big risks to get as far as Libya. They kept coming, and the horrendous death-toll this spring got the media so excited that the politicians had to do something — but not, of course, anything that would actually result in more people arriving in Europe. So they gave more money to Operation Triton, but they still didn’t give it a life-saving role.

Instead, they came up with some non-sense about saving the refugees from drowning by destroying the people-smug-glers’ boats on the shores of Libya before they went to sea. It’s the “new slave trade,” and we’re just saving the refugees from themselves. Of course, the EU hasn’t actu-ally destroyed any boats (which would be an act of war against Libya).

What they didn’t reckon with was their own navies, who come at this from a very different angle. The sailors don’t have to worry about the voters, and on the whole they are not terribly fond of the politi-cians, but they certainly do know about the sea. And one of the oldest traditions of the sea is that you do not leave people to drown.

Everybody who has spent much time at sea knows that it is an intrinsically hostile environment. Alone and unsupported by technology (including flotation gear), you will survive in the water for a matter of minutes, or at most, if you are very fit and lucky, for an hour or two. So when you see somebody in the water, you do everything you can to save them — because another time, it could be you.

When I was in the navy we were once first on the scene of a collision in which a tanker had exploded in flames. There was little chance of survivors, as oil had spilled and the sea was on fire around the strick-en ship, but we searched all night and into the next day anyway. Nobody questioned why we were doing it, nobody even dis-cussed it. There is no higher priority in a peacetime navy.

I was not on the warships attached to Operation Triton to overhear the conver-sations of the people on the bridge, but I am sure that they were outraged by their orders. So they gradually pushed out be-yond the appointed bounds of Operation Triton to the places where the people were actually dying, and none of the politicians dared to expose themselves as heartless bastards by telling them to come back.

Eventually it has become the new de facto policy of the European Union — just like the old Mare Nostrum policy, before the European governments got at it.

The Kimberley Dy-namiters aren’t wasting anytime filling holes as they retool in hopes of making a second con-secutive KIJHL champi-onship run in 2015-16.

The Nitros signed a trio of players Tuesday morning, including a pair of local East Koote-nay products.

Forward James Rota (1998) of Kimberley, de-fenceman Tyler Van Steinburg (1998) of Cranbrook, and centre Austyn Moser (1997) all join the club following successful Midget ‘AA’ campaigns in 2014-15.

“We’re pretty happy with what we have, we’re just looking to add to it,” said Mike Reid, Kimber-ley Dynamiters general manager, Tuesday morning. “We thought we would be in a posi-tion to win the league this [coming] year. To be defending champs now, everybody’s got us cir-cled on their calendar.

“We’re going to be the hunted rather than the hunter this year.”

Rota and Van Stein-burg will be names fa-miliar to Dynamiters

fans for a host of reasons. Apart from being lo-

cally raised, both Rota and Van Steinburg were listed as affiliate players (APs) with the Dynamit-ers last season.

The 6-foot Rota has appeared in eight games with the Dynamiters over two seasons as an AP, collecting one goal and one assist.

“He’s put the work in, on and off the ice, to give himself this opportunity,” Reid said. “As local content, we like that and he’s prov-en he’s ready to make the jump this year.

“He’s going to have to cut his teeth as a full-time player. It’s a little easier when you’re wear-ing a cage and you’re out there as an affiliate…This year, we want him to slide somewhere into our top nine at some point in the season. He’s going to have to earn his ice time just like every-one else.

“He’s a big kid and he’s going to continue growing. We see him as one of those kids who hasn’t played his best hockey yet.”

The 16-year-old spent the bulk of the 2014-15 season with the Cran-brook Knights of the South Central Alberta Hockey League, where he registered six goals and 21 points in 35 games.

Van Steinburg ap-peared in two games with the Nitros during the 2014-15 campaign, collecting two assists. Prior to his time in Kim-

berley, the right-shooting defenceman dressed in three games as an AP with the Nelson Leafs during the

2013-14 season.He is also the young-

er brother of Dynamit-ers forward Trevor Van Steinburg.

The younger Van Steinburg split his 2014-15 season between the Kootenay Major Midget Ice of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League and the Cranbrook Knights of the South Central Alberta Hockey League.

“Tyler had a tough year last year playing ‘AAA’ Midget over in Nel-son,” Reid said. “It just didn’t work for him. He’s

really dedicated himself off the ice these last few months to get himself into tremendous shape.

“He’s a 17-year-old, right-hand shot de-fenceman that skates well. Those guys are hard to find. We’re pret-ty happy that he’s ready to make the jump to the Dynamiters.”

Though new to the KIJHL, Moser is expect-ed to factor into the of-fense right away after he rang up 26 goals and 55 points in 35 games with the Taber Golden Suns of the South Central Al-berta Hockey League.

The 5-foot-11, 170-pound pivot ranked 10th in the South Central Al-berta Hockey league in scoring last season.

“We’re expecting [Moser] to jump in and contribute right away,” Reid said. “He’s consid-ered probably one of the best players in the South Central league.”

Rota and Moser have big shoes to fill as the first signings since for-wards Coy Prevost and Braden Saretsky left the team for Junior ‘A’ op-portunities with the Canmore Eagles of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

Locals strike success at BCGA Zone 1 Women’s championshipTaylor rocc a

The BCGA Zone 1 Women’s Golf Championship wrapped up this past weekend at Kimberley Golf Club, with plenty of local flavour finding success at the an-nual tournament.

The 36-hole tournament was held at the Kimberley Golf Club for the first time in more than a decade, with opening-round ac-tion going May 30, and final-round play wrapping up May 31.

For the third consecutive year, Kimberley’s Julia Dereniwsky claimed the BCGA Zone 1 Wom-en’s Amateur title.

Dereniwsky carded a 36-hole score of 147, working her way past Kelly Hellman of Balfour (153).

Dereniwsky claimed her first Zone 1 title in 2013 at Kokanee Springs Resort, firing a two-day 161 to beat out Mackenzie Field of Christina Lake (164). In 2014, she repeated as Zone 1 champion at Creston Golf Club, carding a two-round 151 to once again de-feat Field (163).

Apart from Dereniwsky claim-ing the overall low gross title, Cranbrook’s Mary Ann Bennett was awarded the Heather Nunn Trophy for registering the senior ladies low net top score (138).

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Appreciate the ease of relating to others that you seem to be experiencing right now. An awkward moment could occur when relating to a child. You might need to figure out what is going on and take another stab at this same conversation. Tonight: Till the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You finally will be able to iden-tify with a partner over a diffi-cult issue or need. Nevertheless, you still might not agree with this person. For the sake of peace, consider going along for the ride and seeing what hap-pens. Tonight: Make plans for a summer getaway. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your ability to get through problems is heightened. You will need to defer to someone else more frequently; other-wise, you could find it difficult to relate to this person. Both of you have valid ideas. Hold off on making judgments for now. Tonight: Buy a token gift of af-

fection. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your diligence and willingness to pitch in will score high with others, specifically a close friend or loved one who counts on your caring. You could be feeling as if you don’t have enough time to do what you want. Revise your schedule if need be. Tonight: Play it easy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 24) You have so many ideas right now that you might find it difficult to get into a routine, though you might have to. Oth-ers seem to enjoy your upbeat nature, but a boss expects more, and that becomes clear. Avoid a problem rather than create one. Tonight: Be fluid. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will want to rethink a mat-ter more thoroughly. You might not realize how important this issue is for you until something goes wrong. Keep a steady course. Reiterate any question if you are not clear about the response. Tonight: Go out and let off some steam. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Speak your mind and get past an issue. Everything will work out, though perhaps not im-mediately. For now, you need to be more in touch with what you need rather than what others need. News heads in from a dis-tance, and quite quickly at that. Tonight: Out and about. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Use good sense with your fi-nances. You need to hear what someone else has to say. You might be thinking of an invest-ment for which you will need to carefully weigh the pros and cons. Tonight: Have an import-ant discussion with someone in the know. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will appreciate the support you get from several people. The real question is: Can you open up more without feeling like you are taking a risk? Some-one might surprise you with an insight that is not only provoca-tive but also enticing. Tonight: A quick check on your budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be much more in-volved in a situation than you

need to be. Why not deal with the issue another day? Tomor-row would work. Try to stay out of noncontroversial waters, as it probably won’t bring you any kind of benefit. Tonight: How about a massage? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will zero in on what is important and go full speed ahead. You could discover that the time has come to act. Use caution with someone whom you need to have an important discussions with. You might reveal a lot about yourself. To-night: Get some extra R and R. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) No one likes dealing with may-hem, especially with finances, but you’ll witness a friend create just that. You could be taken aback by this person’s bluntness. Know that you need to get involved. Just be polite, and don’t let him or her get to you. Tonight: Time for some fun.t BORN TODAY Journalist Anderson Cooper (1967), poet Allen Ginsberg (1926), actor Tony Curtis (1925) ***

Dear Annie: My friend “Nancy” has become one of those stepmothers who negatively influences her husband’s relationship with his adult children. When things began to turn sour between Nancy and her husband’s daughter, who lived nearby, the daughter retaliated by distancing herself from her father, refusing to see him and avoiding his calls. Nancy persuaded her husband to move across the country. She blames the move on the daughter, who “drove them away,” but I’m sure his daughter sees it as Nancy making sure Dad is totally alienated from his family. Now, when Nancy’s husband speaks of visiting his daughter and her family, Nancy actively tries to discourage him, reminding him that he wasn’t treated properly. Family members have suggested to Nancy that she allow her husband to handle his relationship with his daughter on his own, but she’s unwilling to do that. I hope Nancy’s husband reads this and sees himself. Perhaps other men with controlling wives will, too. He should remember that his relationship with his children predates his marriage to Nancy and that he needs to honor that relationship and quit being so passive around his wife. -- On the Sidelines, but Been There Dear Sidelines: Many men would rather abandon their children than fight with their wives. They also figure the kids don’t need them that much. But truthfully, kids always need their parents’ love and support, and once a husband takes a firm stand on the issue, the arguments tend to be shorter, and the wife often backs off. But it takes some initial effort. And by the way, this dynamic works with either spouse. There are husbands who push their wives to move away from their kids, and the wives allow it. Sometimes it borders on an abusive, isolating relationship. You can’t force someone to grow a spine. You’ve expressed your opinion to Nancy, and she has chosen to ignore you. We hope her husband finds a way to reconcile with his daughter before the estrangement is permanent. Dear Annie: Last night, my husband finally came home after being away for three weeks. He was exhausted, mentally and physically. He is still tense, and I know it will take him at least a week to recover. My husband is a trial lawyer. When he takes a case, he applies all of his training and skill, as well as his physical and mental energy toward helping his client. He wears himself out worrying about the case. He works as hard as he can on his client’s behalf until the case is finished. It takes a toll, but I am proud of him. I wish the people who make jokes about lawyers could see how much my husband cares for his clients and how hard he works for them. -- Married To a Lawyer Dear Married: What a sweet and supportive letter. Lawyers generally have a terrible reputation (“sharks” comes to mind), but most attorneys are dedicated and extremely hardworking professionals. Their job is to represent the client. They are obligated to do their best, but others often blame the attorney if the client is unpopular or the lawyer is aggressive in the client’s defense. But everyone is entitled to legal representation, and no one would want an attorney who makes a half-hearted effort. And many lawyers work pro bono (unpaid) cases in what little spare time they have.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Want to reach new customers? We read the newspaper every day, Monday to Friday.

submit tedThis year marks the 35th

annual Terry Fox Run and Cranbrook is seeking a moti-vated, compassionate volun-teer Run Organizer to contin-ue Terry’s legacy here.

Terry Fox has inspired an incredible wave of change over the past 35 years with his lega-cy living on in Cranbrook. For the past 30 years, Cranbrook has hosted a Terry Fox Run. The Run is an opportunity for people of a variety of back-grounds and ages to come to-gether and contribute to the growing total of close to $700 million that has been raised, worldwide in Terry’s name, in support of impressive and vital progress made in cancer re-search over the past three de-cades (for more information about Terry Fox funded re-search projects visit www.ter-ryfox.org or www.tfri.ca).

As the volunteer Run Orga-nizer, your responsibilities will include recruiting committee members, confirming the route, promoting the run, and overseeing run day activities. The time commitment ranges from two to four hours weekly during the months leading up to the National Run Day, which is on Sunday, Septem-ber 20 this year. Whether as a

couple or individual, the vol-unteer Run Organizer will al-ways be assisted by the Terry Fox Foundation in the plan-ning process, and given the resources to make it a success.

“The Terry Fox Run has been with us in Cranbrook since 1985”, said Donna White, British Columbia and Yukon Provincial Director. “An as-tounding $20,000 has been raised at this location for inno-vative cancer research.”

The Terry Fox Foundation is proud of the 84 cents of every dollar raised that goes directly to cancer research ini-tiatives. The Run, an all-inclu-sive, family-oriented activity, charges no entry fee or mini-mum pledge amount. Partici-pants can run, walk, blade or bike.

Terry’s legacy continues to positively affect countless peo-ple and lead to breakthroughs that were unimaginable when Terry set out on his historic Marathon of Hope 35 years ago. If you wish to volunteer with a truly grassroots organi-zation that values all contribu-tions, and whose mission it is to help every cancer patient, please contact Donna White at 1.888.836.9786 or donna.white@terryfoxrun.org for more information.
