The list of road proj-ects to be carried out this summer by the B.C. Ministry of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure (MOTI) includes Cran-brook’s first roundabout at the top of Victoria Av-enue.

Jack Bennetto, dis-trict manager for the MOTI’s Rocky Mountain district, spoke to the Re-gional District of East Kootenay board of di-rectors on Friday, April 4, about the ministry’s scheduled projects for 2014. Among the list are several that impact on Cranbrook.

Bennetto said the ministry has started pre-liminary designs for a roundabout — which would be the first in the City of Cranbrook — at the intersection of Victo-ria Avenue and 13th Street South. The road lies at the boundary of the city, with the inter-section just inside the regional district, thus making it the MOTI’s re-sponsibility.

“It’s an accident loca-tion,” said Bennetto. “So we would like to move forward with a round-about there. I’m not sure

we will be able to con-struct that this year but we will be completing the design and working with the city to see what we can do next.”

Also in Cranbrook, the ministry is planning to conduct analysis of crosswalks on the strip.

“Some of those are in unsafe locations — they might be good for a pe-destrian who wants to walk across but they are not so good for their safety where it is. There are also some connec-tion issues — there are nice trails in Cranbrook but those don’t always connect with a cross-walk. So those kinds of things will be analyzed with the City of Cran-brook,” said Bennetto.

and Infrastructure has outlined its summer roadworks plan for 2014

“Some of those (crosswalks) are in

unsafe locations … they might be good

for a pedestrian who wants to walk across but they are not so

good for their safety where it is.”

What is a livable wage for Cranbrook? A local society was in front of council on Monday, April 7, to say that the livable wage, the amount someone needs to make to meet living expenses, for Cranbrook is $14.16 an hour.

Darelyn Hutchinson, repre-senting the Social Planning

Society and the Living Wage Project and Poverty Reduction Initiative, talked about the project. She was joined by Darcy Victor, from the Ministry of Children and Family Devel-opment in Cranbrook, which the project is run through.

“It’s just to bring awareness to how much it costs to live in Cranbrook and what kind of wage you need to be making to

be comfortable here,” Hutchin-son said.

She explained that the liv-ing wage calculation is an hourly rate that reflects what people need to meet their basic expenses and support their families. It is based on the actual cost of living, rather than the minimum wage which is legislated by the pro-vincial government.

“It’s based on two full-time parents working and two chil-dren, for this purpose they are aged four to seven,” she said. “And it’s just minimal budget to eat and sleep and survive.”

She pointed out that ex-penses for a family include things like childcare, shelter and food.

Just outside Cran-brook, the ministry has a contract out now for the resurfacing of High-way 95A from the Cran-brook overpass to Echo Field Road.

“We also will be re-placing the culvert for a bottomless culvert at Jo-seph Creek as part of the big project, which is in need of being done and will also help the fish situation,” said Ben-netto.

Other resurfacing projects that will go ahead this summer in-clude Highway 3 from Ha Ha Creek Road to

Wardner Bridge, and Highway 93/95 from Wasa Junction to Skoo-kumchuck.

Meanwhile, the min-istry is focusing also on side roads this summer, with plans to resurface parts of Wardner Fort Steele Road near Bull River Road, Kikomun Newgate Road to Koo-canusa, and Jaffray Baynes Lake Road around the four corners.

MOTI will work on deck joint bearing de-sign for both Wardner Bridge and Wasa Bridge this year.

And a cyclist warn-

ing system will be in-stalled at the Elko Tun-nel.

“As everyone knows, it’s a narrow tunnel. That should help peo-ple who ride their bicy-cles through there,” said Bennetto.

The ministry will be using parts of Highway 3 to test out a new sys-tem of line painting this year, focusing on the route from Cranbrook to the Alberta border, said Bennetto.

“We’ve had a lot of complaints and con-cern about our line painting. The lines

don’t last that long in our winter period, pri-marily because we are using environmentally friendly paints. They

don’t last as long as the good old chemical ones. So we have changed our contracts for some other options. We are

going to try a few test locations with bigger paint lines on sections of Highway 3,” he said.

“We hope we have

some progress and it works better and then we can apply some other decisions based on that.”

A music festival at Lake Koocanusa will go ahead this year after gaining conditional ap-proval from the Region-al District of East Koote-nay.

The organizers of Fozzyfest agreed to move the festival, which was first held at Big Springs Campground last Canada Day week-end, to after Labour Day to alleviate noise com-plaints from campers on the reservoir.

Now to be held from September 18 to 21, Fozzyfest is expected to bring up to 1,500 people to Koocanusa.

On Friday, April 4, the Regional District of East Kootenay board of directors granted a spe-cial event license for the festival.

The license also makes the festival’s or-ganizers exempt from the noise bylaw during the hours music will be playing: from Thursday, Sept. 18 at 4 p.m. to Fri-day, Sept. 19 at 6 a.m.; from Friday, Sept. 19 at noon to Saturday, Sept. 20 at 6 a.m.; and from Saturday, Sept. 20 at noon to Sunday, Sept. 21 at 6 a.m.

Fozzyfest includes four stages — two set up in the forested part of the campsite, one inside a dome on the beach, and one satellite stage on the beach.

However, the special

event license is condi-tional on the organizers shutting down the beach stages at 11 p.m. each night.

As well, the stages set back from the beach will have the speakers turned away from the lake, and the sound will be reduced by 50 per cent during the later hours.

“I was fully prepared not to support this going forward if it was going to be held on a long week-end in July as was previ-ously proposed,” said Area B Director Heath Slee. “Now that the event organizers have been willing to move this to a time of year when most of the camp-grounds are probably going to be vacant, and they have considered turning down the music during the later hours of the evenings to about 50 per cent and turning their speakers inward — they have tried to ac-commodate every con-cern that we have possi-bly had.”

Slee said he realisti-cally expects to still hear some complaints.

“I’m sure there will be a few complaints about the noise level, but I’m hoping that it will not be to the level that it was last year,” he said. “So we are willing to give this a try this year and see what comes out of this event in terms of feedback from the com-munity residents and

hopefully it’s going to be a success.”

Area G Director Gerry Wilkie, who origi-nally asked the organiz-ers to supply head-phones for festival goers instead of using speak-ers, remained opposed to approving the special event license.

“In a sense, I think we are regressing as a species when we sanc-tion stuff like this,” he said.

“My god, it’s some-thing that’s fundamen-tally important to the people that we repre-sent – peace and quiet and enjoyment of their environment, and not to have that disrupted by something that we sanc-tioned.”

But Invermere Mayor Gerry Taft pointed out that the people who at-tend the festival could one day become second homeowners in the South Country.

“What today might seem like some rowdy young people or people who are causing a nui-sance, 10 or 20 years from now could be the people in the communi-ties who own the houses and are coming out with their families,” he said.

“Sometimes, these events are actually very effective ways of getting people to go to an area and many years after-wards, they may end up becoming model citi-zens and being mem-bers of the community.”

Fozzyfest approved for September dates

“Both parents need to be making that with two chil-dren in their household to be able to afford the minimal living, which is quite a bit more than our minimum wage which is $10.25 provin-cially,” she said.

“Obviously we can’t fix minimum wage, but just starting conversations around different ways we can maybe work on making it more livable for people in Cranbrook, like daycare and transportation and things like that.”

Cranbrook resident Amanda, last name with-held, took part in the living wage project. She is a stay-at-home mother. She and her partner have three children aged five and younger. Her husband had to find work an hour outside of town and commutes there.

“If I were to obtain em-ployment outside of the house as well, I would have to make close to $2,000 a month to secure two full-time daycare spots and a part-time spot for our old-

est,” Amanda said. “Working full-time minimum wage I would still be a few hundred dollars short each month, even if my wages weren’t taxed.”

Because there is no finan-cially secure way for her to work, she has remained a stay-at-home mom.

She said they often have to rely on government tax credits to make ends meet.

“After paying for housing, heat, electricity, transporta-tion, clothing, medical ex-penses and insurance, our family doesn’t have a lot left

for food,” she said. In 2012 she was ap-

proached to be part of the project.

She found that there are many more families like hers living in Cranbrook.

Coun. Angus Davis noted that a lot of the problem was the economy, as a healthy economy would keep unem-ployment around four per cent, as compared to B.C.’s 6 per cent.

He said the city needs to work to get industry jobs here.

Coun. Denise Pallesen

commended Amanda. “I know how hard it is; 10

years I was under the poverty line and you’re right, it is a rude awakening when you realize that that’s where you are,” she said.

Coun. Diana J. Scott noted that places like the UK and New Westminster in B.C. have projects like this.

Coun. Sharon Cross noted that there is a group working on a childcare needs assessment initiative and wondered if Amanda wanted to be a part of that, which she did.

Mayor Wayne Stetski said that it has been interesting the past couple of years see-ing the project brought to council. He also said council has to weigh what the role of the city should be on these issues, along with the other levels of government.

“I have also talked to our CAO moving ahead; some of the larger cities now have so-cial planners on staff, we do not have a position like that on city council,” he said, add-ing that it would be a posi-tion that staff could refer so-cial issues to.

The possible resto-ration of the Moir gravel pit prompted one Cran-brook resident to send a letter to council airing her concerns about deep excavation. Though the proposed plans for Moir gravel pit don’t include any stipu-lations for deep excava-tion, as Coun. Angus Davis pointed out at the Monday, April 7 meet-ing, the letter from Jessie Hunter does provide a

resident’s perspective on an aspect of the his-tory of that area.

Mayor Wayne Stetski said the letter was pri-marily useful as infor-mation for the city’s en-gineering department when redevelopment occurs at the gravel pit.

“Basically the writer of the letter is opposed to any excavations in the pit area,” Stetski said. “I’m not sure whether the information here was correct, but she was told the engineering

firm had proposed three deep excavations to the depth that the under-ground water rises up and fills the holes with water.

“The writer takes us back to an experience that they had back in 1993 when Pinewood school was built, when contractors struck a source of water. It sounds like it was almost an artesian well and their own personal well went dry as a result of it.”

Hunter’s letter states

Moir pit restoration prompts well water worriesthat she and her hus-band, as well as other nearby residents in the area in Slaterville, are opposed to deep excava-tion in the area because of the possibility of it af-fecting their water wells. As she notes, all the resi-dents north of Pinewood School are on water wells, as well as numer-ous businesses along Cobham Avenue.

“I feel obligated to oppose this project due to a previous frustrating and costly experience

we have had due to dig-ging in the area of the gravel pit,” Hunter writes.

Her parents original-ly owned the property where Pinewood School is located. In the late ‘50s she and her husband built a home on King Street and had a forty foot well dug there. She said it was good for 15 to 20 gallons per minute and they had plenty of water coming out of the well until 1983 when contractors were laying

down the foundation and sewer lines for Pine-wood school and struck a water source, sending water running down what is now Slater Road.

Hunter said that caused their well to run dry and they eventually had to get a second well dug at a cost of $1,620.

Hunter and the resi-dents she represents are worried that something similar could occur.

City staff noted at the meeting that there was no plan to do any more

deep excavation on the Moir gravel pit property, and that the lakes were proposed because there is already water seeping happening.

Hunter personally gave the letter to Coun. Davis.

“This is a history of her life in that area of the community and it tells us what happens when people start messing around with the water table and I think it’s worth its weight in gold,” Davis said.

The B.C. NDP caucus lined up behind leader-ship contender John Horgan Tuesday, includ-ing his only rival for the job, Mike Farnworth.

“Yes, today marks the end of my campaign for B.C. NDP leader,” Farn-worth said at a news

conference in Victoria Tuesday. “But more im-portantly, it begins our campaign to elect a B.C. NDP government in 2017, with John Horgan as premier.”

Horgan thanked Farnworth for “putting aside his leadership campaign to create a unity candidate, a unity

committee, to go for-ward and beat the Liber-als in 2017.”

Farnworth’s cam-paign has suffered two setbacks in recent days, the latest being Horgan’s increased lead in en-dorsements.

Farnworth’s only had two public endorsers from the B.C. NDP cau-cus while Horgan had 15 MLAs publicly support-ing him.

Farnworth also bore the brunt of former pre-mier Mike Harcourt’s decision last week to quit

the NDP. Harcourt en-dorsed Farnworth in the 2011 leadership where Farnworth finished sec-ond to Adrian Dix.

The party has a dead-line of May 1 for candi-dates to be nominated for the leadership Candi-dates have until June 26 to sign up new party members, with a prov-ince-wide vote sched-uled to be completed Sept. 28.

Both the B.C. NDP and B.C. Liberals fin-ished 2013 in debt after the election last May.

“A narcissist is someone better-looking than you are.”

Gore Vidal“Pay attention to your hair – because everyone else will.”

Hillary Clinton addressing Yale graduates

A couple of years ago I was forced by other people’s sarcasm to go downtown to have my hair cut. After a long session of smutty jokes and golfing stories, the barber chopped away. However, when I stood up and got myself brushed off, I noted that the proprietor of the establishment had managed to strew grey hair all around where I’d been sitting. This was a great shock to me. Afterwards, I began to find actual ‘silver threads among the gold’.

But I still have hair; I obviously inherit-ed this trait from my father, who showed no signs of baldness, even after bringing up me and my awful sister.

Of course, I started out well. It seems that the nurses at the hospital where I was brought into this uncaring world called me Tarzan; I was apparently hirsute, all over.

As a small boy, I grew less hair but much spikier. It just wouldn’t slick down, even under a confining school-boy cap. My uncle Charlie frequently threatened to flatten it with a bottle.

After my stint in the Royal Air Force,

where I was cajoled and threatened into keeping my locks short and tidy, I set off into ‘civvy street’ with the intention of growing my hair long, down to my shoul-ders if possible. It didn’t work; I must have had a hair strike, so I gave up that non-sense. Even if I had struggled for another twenty years, I would never have been able to look like a true hippie.

But I have been doing some research into the grey matter that spouts above my minimal grey matter.

For instance, I read that, on my own knobbly ‘bonce’, each hair used to grow continuously for three to five years and then quit. Fascinating! Some of my hairs obvious-ly survived the predations of those thick-headed ser-geants in the R.A.F. “Am I hurting you, son? I should

be; I’m standing on your hair.”After about three months of resting, the

individual hair falls out and then a new one starts up. Someone forgot to remind my hair recently. I think there’s some hi-bernation going on; maybe it’ll start up again when the bears emerge because, ac-cording to what I’ve been reading, 90 per cent of the hair on a human scalp is sup-posed to be always in the growing stage. Ha!

Hair grows faster when the grower is in love. On the chin and in the ears too?

My research also informed me that

beards grow faster on men’s faces than on their heads. This is encouraged by all the razor salespeople because, if left alone, the beard will grow about 14 centimetres a year, except in the U.S., where it can make about five and a half old-fashioned inches.

There seems to be no record of how fast women’s beards grow. Maybe this is a taboo subject although a person can have a T.V. movie ruined with ads aimed at the fair sex for scientific hair removal machin-ery.

Goose-bumps are the result of a per-son’s body desperately attempting to pull the body hair upright for insulation against the cold. I love to experiment so I ventured outside this past winter in my swim-suit —not a pretty sight, according to my over-sensitive neighbours — but, appar-ently, after a brilliant start as a baby, I no longer have enough body hair to do the job.

However, looking fearfully into the mir-ror these days reminds me of those hope-less horror movies of yesteryear — Boris Karloff! Bah! Nonsense! Watching the growth of my eyebrows, nose hairs and ear hairs makes me think I might be turning into a werewolf or that I am going to die as hirsute as I was when I came screaming into this world.

But then, I did meet a charming psychi-atric nurse recently and, although she did look at me somewhat askance up in those hills, she didn’t seem to be too worried about the state of my mind  — as yet.

Hibernation, migration of the hair

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

When it comes to the NHL scouts, Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart has generated all kinds of buzz since he came into the league as a rookie 16-year-old.

However, other members of the team have quietly made those same scouts sit up and take notice.

The final NHL Central Scout-ing rankings were released on Tuesday, with Reinhart, Luke Philp, Jaedon Descheneau and Rinat Valiev all finding them-selves on the list.

All four were there in the mid-season rankings, but all have climbed up the ladder.

Reinhart is the highest at third overall, while Philp is 80th, Valiev at 83rd, and Descheneau at 95th.

Defenceman Tanner Faith re-mains on the list in the Limited Viewing category, as he has missed much of the season due to a shoulder injury.

The biggest jump was Philp, who went from 122nd in the mid-season rankings, to 80th. Descheneau went from 125th to 95th, while Valiev occupies 83rd, climbing up from 106th.

Philp ended the regular sea-son with 31 goals and 46 assists for 77 points in 71 games.

“It’s awesome, to make that big of a jump, I wasn’t expecting it, but I’m happy with the result,” said Philp.

“I’ve felt good in the second half, I can’t put in anything in particular, if I’ve started to play better or not, but I’m happy get-ting ranked and hopefully I can keep making this playoff push to help it out even more.”

Descheneau has been a key part of the team this year, leading the team in goals with 44 and tallying 98 points. He was recent-ly named CHL player of the week after the Ice defeated the Calgary Hitmen in six games in the first round of the playoffs.

“I guess it’s something to be happy about, moving up quite a few spots from the last rankings,

but I want to move up more and obviously I need to prove myself more in these playoffs to move up and hopefully get drafted higher in June,” he said.

Already passed over in the 2013 NHL Draft, Descheneau has certainly made a strong case for himself this time around.

“I think I’ve just tried to be more consistent,” he said. “The first half [of the season], I wasn’t very consistent with things. I have a good game, then a bad game, then a good game kind of thing.

“After Christmas, I tried to play more defensive, too, and play well every game every time I’m on the ice, and obviously, I’ve done better at that.”

Valiev, who came in from the CHL import draft after playing in the USHL last year, is the Ice rookie of the year who collected five goals and 23 assists with a plus-27 rating before playoffs.

Sam Bennett of the Kingston Frontenacs and Barrie Colts D-man Aaron Ekblad are first and second in front of the Koote-nay Ice captain. Reinhart had a strong year, tying a franchise re-cord with 105 points, making a trip to the World Junior Champi-onship with Team Canada and playing in the CHL Top Prospects showcase game.

Ice preparing to host TigersTRE VOR CR AWLEY

Sports Editor

Like the Calgary se-ries, The Kootenay Ice has brought a split back home after opening the second round on the road in Alberta.

The Medicine Hat Ti-gers arrived in Cran-brook on Tuesday, and the two teams will get down to business in Game Three on Wednes-day and Game Four on Thursday.

Home ice advantage was huge in the regular season series, with the hosts winning three of the six games.

Coming out of the den of the Tigers with a victory is a good sign.

“It was huge to get one in that rink, we’ve struggled there all year,” said Ice forward Luke Philp, “but we played real well in Game One, so a split—we’ll take that and we played well here all playoffs so far and all season, so we’re going to

be ready to go tomorrow night.”

Kootenay caged the Tigers in the opener, win-ning 4-2 before falling in the rematch at 5-2 to make it even heading into Ice country.

Though Medicine Hat won Game Two, it was tied up at 2-2 heading into the final 20 minutes.

“In the third period we got a little off our game, giving them too much and not generat-ing much for ourselves,” said Ice forward Jaedon Descheneau.

The Ice power play, which was a huge part of the series against the Hit-men, has been quiet, going scoreless in eight chances.

However, the two for-wards aren’t too con-cerned about it, consid-ering the chances they’ve been getting.

“Our power play hasn’t been bad at all, it just hasn’t gone in the net,” said Descheneau.

“Their goalie’s made some good saves, but we’re getting a lot of good looks, a lot of back-door plays, high slot plays and stuff like that so eventually it’s going to go in. “

Philp agreed.“We’re getting lots of

chances I think,” he said. “We’re entering the puck pretty well, so we’d be worried if the chances weren’t there and we were struggling to move

the puck around, but it’s just been real close be-tween the puck going in and not going in a few times.”

NOTES: The Ice teamed up with Boston Pizza in Cranbrook to raise $4,178 at a fund-raiser on Monday night. Bozon wrapped up his meetings with the medi-cal staff of the Montreal Canadiens and has headed back home to France with his family.

Canucks � re GM Mike Gillis after being eliminated from playo� contention

C ANADIAN PRESSVANCOUVER - Less

than three years after leading the Vancouver Canucks to within a game of the Stanley Cup, Mike Gillis is out of a job.

The club fired its president and general manager on Tuesday, just over 14 hours after the team was eliminated from playoff contention in a listless and embar-rassing 3-0 loss to the Anaheim Ducks that had fans at a half-empty Rogers Arena chanting “Fire Gillis” in the game’s dying minutes.

“The Vancouver Ca-nucks had success under Mike’s leadership, and we nearly reached our ultimate goal; but I believe we have reached a point where a change in leadership and new voice is needed,” team owner Francesco Aquili-ni said in a statement announcing the move.

The Canucks have

three games remaining on their schedule, but were given Tuesday off. Aquilini was set to meet the media on Wednes-day morning before the team practises.

At the NHL general managers meeting last month in Boca Raton, Fla., Gillis pointed to in-juries and head coach John Tortorella’s infa-mous locker-room inci-dent against the Calgary Flames as reasons for a disappointing mid-sea-son swoon that saw the team win just four of 20 games, including eight consecutive regulation losses.

There was a feeling that the Canucks need-ed to get tougher after the loss to the Bruins a few years ago, and Gillis lamented the fact that the team had gotten away from the core prin-ciples that had made them successful.

Why that happened

is up for debate, but there was talk that the Aquilini family pushed hard for Gillis to hire the fiery Tortorella last June after axing former head coach Alain Vigneault and his laissez-faire style.

Apart from this sea-son’s product on the ice, Gillis had also been roundly criticized for his poor draft record, ques-tionable free-agent sign-ings and trades, and the handling of the Roberto Luongo saga.

Sometimes you feel overwhelmed by the amount of responsibility that is placed on you. Tonight: Follow the music. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have done your share of the effort when it comes to relating to a specific person. No one would be surprised if you de-

cided to throw your hands in the air in frustration. Everyone has his or her limits. Tonight: Have a conversation with a trusted friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be more receptive to a friend than you have been in a while. Keep reaching out to someone at a distance, and make the most of the conversa-tion. Others will seek you out, so much so that you could need to screen your calls. Tonight: Be merry. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be surer of yourself and more content if you would let go of an issue that stands between you and a loved one. Be more in touch with a need to move in a new direction, but understand that you might not be ready to act just yet. Tonight: Run errands on the way home. BORN TODAY Fashion designer Marc Jacobs (1963), talk radio host Joe Scarborough (1963), singer Hal Ketchum (1953) ***

Dear Annie: Did you know that an estimat-ed 16 million youth participate in volunteer activities in the U.S. every year, and that by volunteering these young people will per-form better in school? These amazing kids do everything from collecting gently used books and developing literacy programs to creating anti-bullying campaigns in school districts. All of these remarkable youth have a common goal: to raise awareness and solve the problems facing the world today. To celebrate their ingenuity, idealism and passion, please remind your readers that Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) will take place April 11-13, 2014. Last year, young people around the world came together and participated in nearly 3,500 projects. Addi-tionally, thousands of community partners in more than 135 countries brought together millions of young people to strengthen their communities through the power of youth volunteering. For more information, your readers can visit www.GYSD.org. -- Sincerely, Steven A. Culbertson, President and CEO, Youth Ser-vice America Dear Steven Culbertson: Thanks so much for letting us once again mention Global Youth Service Day. Young people all over the world do such fantastic and helpful volun-teer work, not only on this day, but every day of the year. Global Youth Service Day pro-vides more opportunities for everyone to get involved. We hope all of our readers, young and old, teachers and students, will check out your website. Dear Annie: We have two grandchildren, a 2-year-old daughter of our son and a 2-year-old son of our daughter. The girl is four months older than her cousin. We adore them both. The girl is smart and emotional-ly, physically and educationally way ahead of our grandson. She speaks in clearly un-derstood sentences and already knows her alphabet and numbers. Our grandson, how-ever, speaks very few words, cannot string words together to make a sentence and obvi-ously is behind. They are both in preschool. The argument is this. If our granddaughter continues on this bright path, she may test well for kindergarten ahead of her 5th birth-day. Our daughter and my wife both think this would be horrible, and they want our son to hold his daughter back a year so that she will be in the same class as our grand-son. I say my daughter and wife are the ones being horrible. No child should be held back if she is ready. And furthermore, there is no guarantee that our grandson will be ready when he is 5. Do they keep holding back his cousin? -- Spinning the Wheel in Pennsylva-nia Dear Spinning: Your daughter is jealous that her niece is so much more advanced than her son, but please reassure her that this is meaningless. Toddler girls often prog-ress faster than boys in these areas. And when a child is 2 years old, a four-month age difference is enormous. These competitive arguments are point-less. Your granddaughter should not be held back for her cousin’s sake. He won’t care un-less his mother and grandmother foolishly make it a cause for resentment. He’ll catch up. And the girl’s advanced knowledge may do her little good if there is no accelerated or gifted program. The kids should progress at their own rates. Now please tell your wife that the only wise decision is for the two of you to stay out of it. Dear Annie: Just wanted to add my opinion to “Em from Indy” on handling silverware, whether hand-washed or put in the dish-washer. I believe silverware should always be put in with the handles up. This is so that when you reach to put them away, your hands are touching the handles and not the fork tines, spoon bowls or knife blades. People don’t appreciate knowing that your hands were on the parts that go into their mouths. -- From a Dietitian Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
