Interior Health has changed the way it de-livers ready-made meals to clients at home.
Starting October 15, the health authority will replace its Meals On
Wheels program with the new Dinners At Home program.
There are around 20 people enrolled in Meals On Wheels in Cranbrook and 20 in Kimberley. Meals On Wheels volunteers de-
liver hot cooked meals to people’s homes three days a week.
Through Dinners At Home, people will be able to order whatever quantity of frozen meal they require, enough for one each day, and re-
heat the meal them-selves at home. But packages of meals must be picked up from the F.W. Green Home in Cranbrook or the Kim-berley Special Care Home.
Volunteers in the
Meals On Wheels pro-gram have expressed concerns that Dinners At Home won’t be ap-propriate for some cli-ents, many of whom can’t drive to pick up meals, or can’t reheat meals because of medi-
cal conditions.But according to In-
terior Health, these concerns don’t take into consideration other ser-vices the clients have available to them.
“We are working in-dividually with each in-
dividual client or a fam-ily contact to ensure that the supports that they have are available for heating meals. If they need a home sup-port worker to come in and reheat meals and ensure that they are eat-ing regularly, then these meals are in their home already and with their likes and dislikes (ca-tered to) as well,” said Laresa Altenhoff, Interi-or Health East’s area manager for food and nutrition services. Home support workers can visit every day if re-quired to reheat the meal, she said.
According to Alten-hoff, Dinners At Home will give clients more choice of meals, meals more often, they can choose what time they eat, and meals will be available to people liv-ing outside city limits.
“People think that Meals On Wheels is sus-taining people, but three meals a week is really not enough,” she said.
Clients are already making arrangements for meals on the days that Meals On Wheels is not delivered, she went on.
“Right now, they get only three meals a week. So out of 21 meals (if you ate three meals a day), what are clients doing for the rest of the 17 meals? Someone is out shopping for them, getting their inciden-tals, toilet paper, all those type of things.
“Somewhere there is a support. So we will lo-cate a support so that someone can come and pick up their meals. If there isn’t anyone, then the volunteer drivers who wanted to do that will come and pick up the meals.”

Amy Ray (left) and Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls brought their 25-year repertoire and legendary live performance to the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook Friday, Sept. 27. Cranbrook was a stop on the folk rock duo’s first substantive tour of Canada, and their enthusiasm for the journey was evident in their non-stop high energy performance, the boisterous audience reaction and the conversation back and forth between crowd and players. Jeremy Fisher, a singer-songwriter from Ottawa, opened the show.

If you have a medi-cal emergency in the Kootenays, it’s best to be in Creston, judging by statistics from the BC Ambulance Service.
In 2012, Creston’s average response time to Code 3 calls — re-quiring lights and si-rens — was nine min-
utes and 20 seconds, better than Cranbrook (10:01), Nelson (11:06), Castlegar (10:42), Trail (11:16), or Grand Forks (12:30).
However, all were slower than the nine-minute standard suggested by the US Commission on Ac-creditation of Ambu-lance Services, a
benchmark reached by only ten communities in the province last year.
Creston also posted the fastest times in the region in 2010 and 2011.
The figures, ob-tained through a free-dom of information re-quest by former air am-bulance pilot Hans
Dysarsz, surprised rural Creston regional dis-trict director Larry Binks, a retired BC Am-bulance administrator.
“Under ten minutes is good,” he said. “It comes down to staffing: if a station isn’t staffed properly, response time is going to be poor. We recognize we live in rural areas and won’t
get the same response times [as in urban cen-tres] but certainly de-serve better than what is happening in some cases.”
Creston achieved its response times despite only having one full-time paramedic and 13 part-timers. By com-parison, Nelson has seven full-timers and
33 part-timers, Trail four full-timers and 27 part-timers, Castlegar one full-timer and 27 part-timers, and Grand Forks one full-timer and 14 part-timers. (Part time employees submit their availability and shifts are staffed accordingly.)

Ask us about our NATURAL BUG
REPELLENT for your pet
If there is one human attribute that I as a dog am envious of,
it is the strength of your bloodline
bond. It is your sense of family.
I too have a mother, a father, and a passel of
littermates but my link to them has been broken. It has
been replaced, I suppose, by the multi-species pack I now run with, and a fi ne bunch they are. But still, it is a loss to no longer have that bond with those with which you share a genetic link and a common early history.You humans nurture the relationship of family by putting it above job, friends, and even self. You have family vacations, reunions, dinners, nights, and days, ad infi nitum. You even have family hikes, which are - as I found out this summer - pretty amazing events.My humans have had but a single litter, from which they were blessed with a male and a female. Both are now adults and function independently of their parents but still make efforts to maintain the family unit. The girl even went so far as to travel all the way from her home near the Pacifi c Ocean, back to visit her birth parents and littermate. To celebrate this reunion of genetic materials, many events were planned. Not the least of which was “The Hike.”It was decided that we would trek to Bear Lake, a liquid jewel high in the mountains of the Wild Horse drainage that both offspring had toddled to on wobbly little bipedal legs many years before. The boy had led us to believe that he wouldn’t be coming along, but when I bailed out of the truck at the trail head, I caught the unmistakeable scent of my young prankster pack mate on the breeze. I rushed him enthusiastically and did my best to lick the sly grin from his face.The trail to the lake is a good one, steep in places but mercifully short. We young ones rushed ahead and would have been there in no time except for the old dude. He kept falling to his knees and pretending to take pictures of wild fl owers. We all knew this to be nothing more than a feeble ploy to stop and catch his breath but we played along. These rest stops gave the siblings time to visit, chat and interact. They teased, cajoled and roughhoused in the way you would expect a couple of pups from the same litter to do. Even with all those supposed photo opportunities, we eventually made the lake. I went for a swim and thought perhaps we could turn this into a day at the beach, but the boy had more energetic ambitions. He convinced his sister and father that we should scramble to the top of the ridge at the end of the lake so as to take in the views. The trail winds its way through a plethora of wildfl owers as it climbs steeply, so it wasn’t long before our fearless pack leader, surrounded by this abundance of excuses, was leading from the rear. The boy was still playing at the clown, teasing his sister and showing off his mountain abilities, but when his sister found herself feeling less than comfortable at one of the more exposed spots on the climb, his jokester persona fell away. In a heartbeat he came to her aid, coaching her up the last bit to the crest of the ridge. You humans are indeed a unique and empathetic species.The old fella eventually made it to the top, took several pictures of he and his offspring together and then we all headed back down to the lake for a refreshing dip.Yes even the furless humans splashed breathlessly about for a bit and I swam with them. The water may have been cold, but its icy chill couldn’t compete with the overwhelming warmth of that moment. That moment of realizing I was with family.

Recruitment for Highway 3/95 Revitalization Committee
There is an opportunity for public participation and involvement in the City of Cranbrook Highway 3/95 Revitalization Committee. Membership is open to residents of the City of Cranbrook only.
The Highway 3/95 Revitalization Committee is a select committee of Council established under section 142 of the Community Charter. It has been formed to identify opportunities to improve the attractiveness of the highway corridor (Highway 3/95 – Cranbrook Street and Van Horne Street within City limits) and prepare recommendations for improvement including consideration of the functional requirements of Highway 3/95 and its accesses as well as its relation to adjacent land uses and the broader community.
The Committee’s focus will be to make recommendations aimed at making the highway corridor more attractive to the travelling public including consideration of public and private lands.
The City of Cranbrook is seeking one (1) representative:
One (1) business owner of a business located on Highway 3/95 in Cranbrook.
Terms of reference for the committee are available on the City’s website.
Interested individuals are invited to submit a completed Volunteer Application form available at City Hall or on the City’s website – www.cranbrook.ca
Applications will be accepted at City Hall, attention Maryse Leroux, or by email at [email protected], no later than Thursday, October 10, 2013, at 4:30 p.m. local time.
The meals are pre-pared in Penticton, fro-zen and transported to the East Kootenay. Cran-brook and Kimberley are the last cities in the Interior to join Dinners At Home. Its popularity among active seniors led to the program being in-troduced to the Koote-nays in Trail in 2004. Re-quests from Creston brought it to the East Kootenay in 2009.
There are 21 meals that clients can choose from when they order, including gluten free and puree options. The meals are slightly larger in Dinners At Home than they were in Meals On Wheels, and are cheaper at $6.25 per meal, compared to $6.50 per meal.
“It also supports cli-ents not just in city lim-its; it’s for our rural re-mote areas as well,” said Altenhoff. “Meals On Wheels was restricted to city limits for our driv-ers.”
People who take part in the adult day pro-gram at the F.W. Green Home or Kimberley Special Care Home can have their meal packag-es transported with them when they take the community bus home.
And while Meals on Wheels had a limit of how many clients it could take on, Dinners At Home is offered to as many people as need it, including people who are just leaving hospital and need a few meals while they get back on their feet.
“There are a lot of positives to this pro-gram, but right now peo-ple aren’t aware what we are transitioning to be-cause they haven’t expe-rienced it,” said Alten-hoff. “The important thing is that we are working with each indi-vidual client and assess-ing if they need support, where do they need the support, etcetera.”

On Oct. 1 most high-ways around B.C. begin requiring the use of winter tires or chains to be carried in vehicles traversing them. The signs are now up on those highways, which include Highway 3 and Highway 95 near Cran-brook.
The B.C. Motor Ve-hicle Act section 208 defines a winter tire as a “tire intended princi-pally for winter use, and that provides, or is designed to provide, adequate traction in snow or mud.”
ICBC’s website notes that though win-ter tires are not manda-tory on B.C. highways, on those roads desig-nated by the Ministry of Transportation and In-frastructure to require winter tires or chains, police can ticket you for non-compliance or re-quire you to return back the way you came.
ICBC also writes that insurance isn’t void if you are in an ac-cident with non-winter tires, but it may effect
the amount paid out. October 1 is a good
time for the switch over to winter tires, which perform better in the types of winter driving conditions that we face in this part of B.C., such as extreme cold that can cause an all-season or summer tire to hard-en, according to the RCMP’s webpage on tires.
Winter tires usually have deeper tread and are usually made from softer rubber. That helps keep traction on icy surfaces as com-pared to all-season and summer tires.
Creston fastest by seconds
Binks, who worked for the ambulance ser-vice from 1974-2006, and Castlegar mayor Lawrence Chernoff have been advocating for im-provements. Response times could be faster if all stations were manned full-time, Binks said, but attendants have to be adequately compensated, rather than a standby pittance.
Chernoff, who re-tired in 2006 after 29 years as a paramedic, suggested the service isn’t as good as it used to be, and one reason is training.
“That’s been identi-fied as a key issue. In the past BC Ambulance trained you. Now you pay for it yourself. If you invest $5,000 and work in a small-volume sta-tion, you’re never going to get that money back.”
Chernoff and Binks met with BC Ambu-lance management this month at the Union of BC Municipalities con-ference, although Cher-noff said previous talks were “frustrating ... It’s moving too slow for us. We’ve met with proba-bly everybody in BC Ambulance.”
BC Ambulance spokeswoman Kelsie Carwithen said re-sponse times aren’t de-termined solely by staff-ing — other factors in-clude weather, terrain, roads, traffic, and geog-raphy. Responses in rural and remote areas are generally longer due to the distances in-volved, she said.
Carwithen also said the nine-minute stan-dard is only a target that applies to urgent calls in metropolitan and urban areas — but one they do try to achieve.
“Response time fig-ures are not based on the time it takes to have a trained emergency medical responder reach a patient; they only reflect the re-sponse time of para-medics,” she said. “First responders can arrival on scene before para-medics and begin pro-viding care.”

Rumble in the Rockies
Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor
The College of the Rockies was preoccu-pied with hosting their annual Rumble in the Rockies preseason vol-leyball tournament over the weekend.
The women’s Ava-lanche team played host to six other teams from Alberta, featuring mostly college squads looking for some tune-up before the beginning of their seasons.
The event also at-tracted the heavy hit-ters out of the CIS league, with the Univer-sity of Calgary Dinos fielding a squad of play-ers.
The Avs played three games on Thursday,
two of which were back-to-back, with two losses and a win. The ladies played another three games on Friday, com-piling the same record.
Based on their round robin record, they headed into the playoffs on Saturday, and beat the Lethbridge College Kodiaks for a chance to take on the Dinos in the semifinal. However, that’s where the road ended for the Avs.
The Dinos went on to the tournament final, and were bested by the Red Deer College Queens in five sets to win the preseason championship. The Avs ended the standings tied for third with Mac-Ewan University.

Letters to the editorKootenay Performing
arts CompanyWhen the Saturday Gala presentation
by the Kootenay Performing Arts Com-pany was cancelled due to poor ticket sales, the company moved quickly to salvage at least part of the event. And thank goodness for the 60 or so people who were at the Chateau Kimberley on
Friday night. The concert in the intimate Chateau
lobby by Pablo Diemecke and his string quartet was absolutely fantastic. It is truly a loss that a larger audience was not able to enjoy this unique experience.
Executive Director Tony James has many other events planned for the win-ter. If this is an indication of the expert performances we can expect, Kimberley
should be lining up for tickets as space will be at a premium.
Congratulations to Shirley Rossi and the Board who have worked hard to transform the Summer Theatre into a year-round experience. Welcome to Kimberley, Tony!

Wanted: water/electrical building history
Things are happening! The group working to re-store the small brick water/electrical building be-hind City Hall is making some progress. Willie Kap-pler has donated a whole truck load of heritage Cranbrook bricks to be used in infilling. Plans are being drawn up to start a fundraising drive to cover materials and expert assistance.
Now the group is looking for more history on the building. Do you have stories? Have you ever worked in the building? Do you have photos of the building through time?
We are working on an updated Facebook page so that the public can track the work. Those who use Facebook might consider “Liking” the Facebook page ‘Save the Cranbrook City’s Waterworks and Electrical Department Building.’ This gives updates on the project’s progress.
As well, we have started designing an interpretive sign to be placed near the building. We would be happy to interview anyone with memories of the building or working within it. As well, anyone loan-ing photos to the project will get them back prompt-ly. We just need to scan them at a high resolution so that we can use them both in the restoration and the interpretive work. The Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History has offered to do all the scanning for us at no charge.
Anyone with information regarding the water/electrical building can contact Derryll White at 250-489-9150, or drop by the offices of the Columbia Basin Institute at #3 – 926 Baker Street downtown.
We are looking forward to getting on with the work. Regular reports of progress will be given both on Facebook and in the news media.

PAGE 6 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2013
From Stockholm to Sydney to Sica-mous, September was a bad month for science.
In Sweden, the Intergovern-mental Panel on Climate Change
finally issued its widely leaked update on human-caused global warming. As expect-ed, it downgraded predic-tions of temperature rise in the face of 15 years of mea-surements that show little or no average surface tempera-ture increase.
The official spin also went as expected. The reve-lation that more than a dozen computer prediction models have all more or less agreed, and all have been wrong, was played down. The IPCC went from “very likely” to “ex-tremely likely” to affirm its belief in hu-man-caused warming, even as its own core evidence went the other way.
Again and again we are told that the vast majority of scientists believe in hu-man-caused warming, and those who don’t are labeled “skeptics” or even “de-niers” with hidden agendas. The problem is, science isn’t supposed to be done by polls or popularity contests, or assertions of faith like those that greeted Galileo’s wild claim that Earth is not the centre of the solar system.
Before the angry mail starts to arrive, let me hasten to add I am not arguing for or against the theory of human-caused cli-
mate change. You can label me a “skeptic” as I view the temperature readings and the shifting theories advanced to explain them.
Speaking of temperature data, David Suzuki had a problem with that at a TV town hall in Australia. Polite, well-in-
formed questions soon re-vealed that while Suzuki rails constantly about the horrors of global warming, he doesn’t actually know much about the latest science.
As I’ve written before re-garding his CBC-funded at-tacks on Canada’s oil and gas industry, Suzuki is not only
behind on his homework, he resorts to cheap, sensational tricks to exaggerate and misrepresent hazards. His tactics are iden-tical to the U.S.-financed environment groups that obsessively target Canadian petroleum.
As for his appearance on Australia’s public broadcaster, don’t take my word for it. Just Google “An Audience with David Suzuki” and watch the show for yourself.
Back in B.C., local politicians gathered in Vancouver for their annual convention. One of the most intense debates was over a call to the provincial government to de-clare B.C. “genetic engineering free.”
The heart of this movement, which has resorted to vandalism in Europe, is hostili-ty towards Monsanto’s “Roundup ready” seed. Speakers at the municipal conven-
tion warned of sinister “corporations” try-ing to contaminate and control our food supply for profit.
The debate pitted hobby farmers against professionals. Peace region grain farmers said such a ban would put them out of business. Others pointed out that the province has no jurisdiction and that scientific decisions shouldn’t be influ-enced by emotion.
The session ended with a classic pseu-do-scientific claim. A woman who used to have a couple of bee boxes said someone’s bees died and there was a Roundup-ready canola field next door. Case closed. The misguided “G.E.-free B.C.” motion was supported by a narrow majority.
As it turns out, there are agricultural pesticides that may be harmful to bees. The David Suzuki Foundation is part of an effort to get one of them banned in Cana-da. The problem is, it’s not Roundup, and it’s got nothing to do with genetic engi-neering.
They’re called “neonicotinoids,” be-cause they’re similar to nicotine. Old sheep farmers may recall using a crude version: tobacco soaked in water to kill insects on sheep.
It’s ironic that as the “information age” accelerates, our society, overwhelmed by conflicting messages, slips back towards superstition.

Brad Lukowich was back in town on Friday night, but it wasn’t a so-cial call.
The Cranbrook na-tive rolled in with the Lethbridge Hurricanes to challenge the Koote-nay Ice, nearly pulling off an upset and forcing a shootout in a 4-3 loss.
Lukowich, a defence-man who retired from professional hockey in 2012 after spending the twilight of his career with the Texas Stars in the AHL, signed on as an assistant coach with the ‘Canes in the offseason.
After a 15-year career of professional hockey highlighted by two Stan-ley Cup titles with the Dallas Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning, Luko-wich now finds himself on the other side of the bench.
In his final years with the Stars, he acted al-most like a player-coach, mentoring the young talent on the team’s ros-ter, and he is continuing to do that in his new role with the ‘Canes.
“To be honest with you, these guys have picked up a lot of things a lot quicker than I ever could’ve imagined,” said Lukowich. “We had a whole new system com-ing in, we have a whole new approach to the game, we have whole
new off-ice workouts, practices. Everything’s new now.
“You’ve got guys who’ve been here three or four years now doing it a certain way, and you gotta come in and try to do it differently. It’s not an easy task, so for us, we got to look at the bright side and see the strides we’ve made.”
Lukowich isn’t the only fresh face behind the bench as head coach Drake Berehowsky was hired in the offseason as well, replacing Rich Preston after a four-year tenure.
The ‘Canes suffered a collapse in the second half of the season last year, slipping from the middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference standings to just shy of a playoff spot when they were leapfrogged by the Kootenay Ice.
The Hurricanes ended the season below 0.500 with a 28-34-3-7 record.
“We don’t know what happened here last year, and we don’t really care,” said Lukowich. “We’re
looking into the future, we’re looking to see what we have coming up against the night.
“We’re still finding out what these guys have. We’ve got specific roles for guys to play, we don’t really care what they did in the past, and we’re just moving for-ward everyday.”
However, Lukowich did point to the Koote-nay Ice last year, using the team’s second-half performance as an ex-ample of what the Hurri-
canes want to see from themselves.
“They started slow and [Ryan McGill] Gilly dialled them all in, once they bought in and were all on the same page, they turned into a really strong force, and that’s kind of how we’re ap-proaching our season this year,” Lukowhich said.
“Stick with the plan, get these guys all going in the same direction and have a really solid push in the second half.”

TORONTO - The 2016 NBA all-star game is coming to Toronto and the Raptors are looking to one of the music in-dustry’s biggest stars to help revamp the fran-chise in time for the fes-tivities.
The club has named Drake its new “global ambassador” and the To-ronto rap star will have a voice in the team’s re-branding.
Tim Lieweke, presi-dent and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Enter-tainment says he and his team are in the process of planning a major facelift that will include a new
look and new colours, but not a new name. Lieweke says Drake will be heavily involved in the rebranding effort, which is expected to take the next two seasons.
“I’m really out here with the people, I’m in touch with what they want to see,” Drake said at a news conference Monday confirming To-ronto as the 2016 host. “I really just want excite-ment for this team. I want us to be one of the biggest teams in the league.”
Lieweke called the all-star announcement the beginning of a “new age” for the Raptors.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Others desire your precision and your ability to handle details. Your compassion comes across through your semi-businesslike attitude. When you express your feelings, the other party gets the message. Tonight: The challenge is not to get involved in a power play. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The morning might be the most important part of your day. Your follow-through counts with a boss or with someone you would like to impress. Your creativity will inspire others, especially a close friend. Tonight: Live today as if there were no tomorrow. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will flow with ease in the morning. Make important calls at that time, and/or handle any dealings involving others. By af-ternoon, you will be best served by cocooning at home. Know that you will get a lot done once you emerge, and quickly at that. Tonight: Head home.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Try to be more in sync with others, and know full well what you need to do. Honor a change that is going on, even if you do not necessarily feel comfortable with it. Let someone know how much you care. Plan to visit this person soon. Tonight: Hang out with a friend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Move forward with a project that has been on the back burn-er. You might not be as sure of yourself as you would like to be in the afternoon. Realize that there is a good reason for this lack of confidence, as someone could be trying to sabotage your plans. Tonight: Head home early. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might sense a change of energy midday. Use the high energy of the afternoon to forge ahead with an important cause; otherwise, a loved one could be-come very difficult. Understand that this person is set on having things go his or her way. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Use the morning to the fullest,
when networking is favored and getting along with others is highlighted. You will have your way, as long as you use the time well. By the afternoon, you could feel overwhelmed and be in need of some personal time. Tonight: Be less available. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be aware of the fact that you are about to accept yet another re-sponsibility. If you don’t want to take on this task, make yourself more aware of the nuances in your conversations. A meeting in the afternoon could be your ma-jor concern. Tonight: Only where your friends are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll have a limited amount of time to proceed in a certain direction or to blaze a new trail. Allow your innate leadership qualities to emerge. Know that the possibility exists that you no longer will have the same freedom to explore alternatives. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A partner might demand more of your attention than you will-ingly want to give him or her
this morning. Do not be sur-prised if this behavior resurges later today. Detach, and perhaps distance yourself, in order to see how to integrate what you must do. Tonight: Surf the Web. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel as if you are a social director on a cruise, as so many people want to see you and speak with you. You give a sense of direction to many peo-ple’s dreams. Someone might want to isolate you in order to monopolize your time. Tonight: Visit with friends over dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Get an early start, if possible, and handle the most important matters first. You could find that you won’t be able to concentrate to the same degree, come after-noon. A meeting with a boss or parent might steal the scene. Listen to what this person says. Tonight: Opt to not be alone. BORN TODAY Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter (1924), actress Julie Andrews (1935), singer/actor Richard Harris (1930)
Dear Annie: I am a 57-year-old woman, and my husband is 61. We met online and spent weekends together for seven months before getting married. I was deeply in love with him for the first six months. Lately, my attitude and feelings have changed dramatically. This man drives me crazy and grosses me out. He is constantly clearing his throat and blowing his nose. He is flatulent and burps long and loud all day and night. He’s clumsy, and his memory is going downhill fast. He becomes very de-fensive when I try to talk to him about any of this. I still love him, but not romantically. I feel more like a best friend. I have to force myself to kiss him, let alone sleep with him, and due to his denial, I have lost a lot of respect for him. This was not the man I dated. He retired six months ago and now sits around all day getting stoned. He doesn’t make friends, and he needs open heart surgery and a knee replacement and will require a caregiver very soon. He knew I was a nurse when we met, and I think he married me because of his overwhelming fear of being alone. I have spent decades taking care of people who are disabled, de-mented and in denial. I now see this mar-riage as a live-in job. He can’t understand why my feelings have changed and blames me. I feel totally trapped. I bought the house we are living in and brought more money into the marriage. However, because I am entitled to his retire-ment benefit when he dies, he considers our financial contributions to be equal. I didn’t date for 12 years before I met him and thought we were very compatible. I should have lived with him for at least a year, but I wanted to set a good example for my children. Please don’t suggest counseling. It won’t change his personality or improve his declining health and honesty. -- Regrets in Paradise Dear Regrets: The counseling isn’t for him. It’s for you. You feel trapped with a man you no longer wish to be intimate with, and the future you see is that of patient and nurse. There’s no point in beating yourself up over what you didn’t notice when you were dat-ing. That happens to everyone. The question is what you are going to do about it now. And that’s where the counseling can help. You need to sort out how you feel, whether you are willing to stick it out and the emotional cost to you. Dear Annie: Why do people make a big deal out of men who are crossdressers? I am 43 years old, happily married and not gay. I’m a businessman, and I wear lacy lin-gerie with breast forms under my suits every day. My beautiful wife of 20 years thinks I look hot in lingerie. When we go out to fancy restaurants, I dress up as a woman. I’m very passable, and our four teenage daughters are OK with it. There are straight women who wear men’s clothing, and I never hear anything negative about them. -- A Happy Father and Husband Dear Happy: Women who wear men’s clothing generally do so because it is more comfortable. Men who wear women’s cloth-ing, which is decidedly less comfortable, of-ten do so because it gives them a sexual thrill or satisfies some emotional need. (Some women dress like men for the same rea-sons.) The important thing is that your wife and daughters are OK with it. No one else’s opinion matters. Dear Annie: I believe “Native New Yorker,” whose scratchy voice makes people think he is foreign, missed out on a lot of opportuni-ties to have fun. His response to questions regarding his origin should be: “I’m from Mars. Please take me to your leader.” -- C.

3RD ANNUAL REACH A READER EVENT
Thursday, October 10The Kootenay Advertiser and the
Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy are partnering on the 3rd annual Reach a Reader event for Cranbrook.
Buy a Paper & Make a Di� erenceThe Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) and The Kootenay
Advertiser are raising funds to support literacy programs. Buy a paper from one of our volunteers on October 10th to make a di� erence in our community. All funds raised will go to support local literacy programs.

Contact The Cranbrook Daily Townsman or Katherine Hough, Community Literacy Coordinator Cranbrook
The Columbia Basin Alli-ance for Lit-eracy (CBAL) is respected
locally and beyond for our leadership in com-munity-based literacy programs, but this suc-cess could not have been possible without the partnerships that exist across the region. Partnerships are essen-tial to the work we do and the most effective have been a result of a few key ingredients.
First, an issue or challenge drives com-munities to seek solu-tions and participation from traditional and non-traditional part-ners. Second, a working relationship based on mutual respect, collab-oration and open com-munication must be es-tablished among part-ners. Third, the ac-knowledgement of a
shared goal and the steps to achieve that goal must be identified. These ingredients be-come the beliefs and values of the partner-ship and create a for-ward path to change.
Across the region, partnerships are work-ing to support literacy initiatives. Regionally, CBAL partners with Sel-kirk College, College of the Rockies, Okanagan College and College of New Caledonia to sup-port adult literacy ini-tiatives. As a result, more adults are able to participate in learning opportunities in non-traditional set-tings. These programs support the develop-ment of parenting, life, workplace and academ-ic skills.
Locally, CBAL pro-grams are partnering daily to deliver pro-grams. Not only does
CBAL partner with col-leges, but we partner with school districts, li-braries and other com-munity organizations. Visit cbal.org to see what is happening in your community.
One of the greatest partnerships that have developed from the communities is the community literacy planning committee. These committees focus on identifying challeng-
es and issues concern-ing literacy, share re-sources and informa-tion and focus efforts on creating a healthy learning community. These committees demonstrate that work-
ing together is essential in achieving what we cannot do alone.
You can make a dif-ference in your local community. Participate in the Reach a Reader campaign by purchas-
ing a paper on Thurs-day, Oct. 10, volunteer-ing to sell papers, or spreading the word as a campaign champion.
To get involved, con-tact the Cranbrook Daily Townsman in Cranbrook or the Kim-berley Daily Bulletin in Kimberley, Katherine Hough, Community Lit-eracy Coordinator in Cranbrook at [email protected]; or Kim Rob-erts, Community Litera-cy Coordinator in Kim-berley at [email protected].
CBAL is a non-profit charitable organization that supports literacy development in the communities of the Co-lumbia Basin and Boundary region of south eastern British Columbia.
For more informa-tion, visit www.cbal.org or call 250-342-3210 ext. 8
On Oct. 10 buy your local newspaper from a volunteer on the street. Your donation goes directly to a literacy program in your community. Join the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy and Black Press to promote, celebrate and support literacy initiatives.
