It was a special weekend just past for music aficionados, as the acclaimed Sultans of String joined the Symphony of the Kootenays for two concerts, Saturday and Sunday. The first show featured the Sultans’ “Symphony show, and almost 500 turned out to hear it. Sunday featured founding member Chris McKhool’s Fiddle Fire, aimed at children and families. All and all, a trip around the globe with the Sultans’ world beat sensibilities. The event was the Symphony’s third concert of the 2013/14 season.

HSBC dropping some local non-profit business AR N E PE TRYSHEN Townsman Staff
HSBC has given notice to at least two Cranbrook non-profits that they should find new banks. In a letter to the CUPW Local 728 signed by HSBC’s head of business banking
Nigel Davis, the bank said that upon conducting a “strategic review” of personal banking services, it would be closing the accounts. “As a result of the review, we have made the difficult decision to end our banking relation-
ship with your business,” Davis wrote. The letter is dated as January 6, 2014 and notes that on March 14, all business accounts associated with CUPW 728 would be closed.

Teck confirms spill into Columbia River CANADIAN PRESS
TRAIL, B.C. — Teck Resources is confirming that its smelter in Trail has spilled up to 25,000 litres of a chemical solution into the Columbia River. Spokesman Richard Deane says the solution likely contained sodium hydroxide which the
plant uses to de-mineralize feed water for the smelter’s boilers. Sodium hydroxide is in an industrial cleaning agent also known as lye or caustic soda and can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. Deane could not say if a harmful amount of
the chemical was drained into the river. Deane says the solution was accidentally drained to a domestic sewage plant leading to the river instead of getting treated. B.C.-based Teck Resources is facing a class-action lawsuit in the United States on al-
legations unrelated to this spill that its smelter in Trail has polluted the Columbia River. A woman from Washington State says pollutants released into the water as recently as March 2011 are to blame for her breast cancer and other health problems.

There are some bestselling authors in the mix, but you also may get something you wouldn’t normally read. “We were conscious to make sure we put some selections in for males as well.” The month-long event around Valentines Day started at Cranbrook Public Library in 2008, after library staff learned about a similar event in a U.S. library that was a

what are hindrances in the current procedures or what can be done at the Provincial level to provide realistic support and effective change,” he said. The changes do offer some new opportunities for JulyFest, Guarnery said, such as the ability to serve mixed drinks. “It very well could change some of the reflection of Julyfest, for example, “Caesar Sunday at the Bocce Pits.” However, the fencing around the bocce pits will continue, as he says that is more an admittance issue than a liquor issue. The first organizing meeting for JulyFest 2014 is tonight and Guarnery says the new liquor policy will definitely be under discussion. “This will be topic as it may impact our logistics. Julyfest is one entity, but changes that the B.C. Liquor Policy Review are implementing will have a broad-sweeping effect on many of our membership,” Guarnery said.

HSBC drops some non-profits Continued from page 1 “I was shocked, really shocked,” said Karen Panchuk, president of CUPW Local 728, about receiving the letter. “When I got the letter and started reading it I was holy cow, it’s the first time in my history either personal or business of ever knowing of a bank that would get rid of a customer, other than if you doing criminal activities.” Panchuk said it was quite the contrary and the union was a
model customer. She said she just wanted to know why the bank had gone in that direction and so wrote a letter to Nigel Davis at HSBC asking what the reasoning behind the decision was. So far, she said she has only received a very generic email noting that someone would be contacting her. The Townsman reached out to HSBC for a comment on Friday, but as of press time had not
heard from the company. On Thursday, Davis told the CBC that the move is about restructuring resources. “Going forward we will focus our resources on those customer who are making the most of their relationship with HSBC, either because they are now or aspire to become international businesses, benefiting from our global footprint and connectivity,” Davis wrote to the CBC. The local CUPW has been banking with HSBC since 2006.

Late last week, the provincial government announced changes to liquor policy that could have quite an impact on certain events. Kimberley’s JulyFest, especially, will see opportunities from the changes, says Chamber of Commerce Manager Mike Guarnery. The B.C. government is moving ahead with promised liquor reforms, promising free-range drinking at music festivals, stadiums and hotels as well as eventual sales in grocery stores. Attorney General Suzanne Anton announced Friday that the government is accepting all 73 recommendations from Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap, who led a consultation last year on updating archaic liquor laws. New rules include eliminating the requirement for fencing around music festival beer gardens, licensing the entire site via a simpler application. “This will allow families to stay together at events, reduce costs for festival organizers and make the festival experience that much better for all fans of live music,” said Bob D’Eith, executive director of Music B.C.
The recommendations will streamline the application process for special occasion licences (SOLs) and refresh liquor policies around beer garden fencing, opening up new opportunities for B.C.’s multitude of festivals, special events and non-profit organizations. Sports and entertainment venues, as well as the hotel industry, will also see changes. In all, the government has announced full support for all 73 recommendations in the Liquor Policy Review. Those include allowing the sale of mixed-spirit drinks at public SOL events and enabling hosts to serve UBrew/UVin at events, such as weddings. Stadiums and arenas throughout the province will have more flexibility around licensing, and be permitted spirit-based liquor sales in the stands. Guarnery met with Mr. Yap and the consultants on policy review last October when the team made a stop in Cranbrook. “It was an interview to find out first-hand from Chamber of Commerce, event holders, and businesses that serve or sell beer, wine and spirits,

You’re never alone with a good book on hand, and never was that more true than this month when Cranbrook Public Library is running its Blind Dates event. The concept is simple: library staff and members of the public have chosen books they love and good books about love for a special section. You can visit the library and find that section, where every book is wrapped in gold
and silver paper, with only the bar code showing. Then you choose a book – your “blind date” - sign it out and take it home. “You can pick by size or weight or whatever you want and they will check it out to you,” said Madsen. “Then you take it home and unwrap it and who knows what you’ll get.” The books are a mixture of romance novels and beloved favourites. “It’s either one that somebody really loved it, or one that’s about

Opinion/Events
I am appalled by the jailing and the subsequent death in custody of CBSA in Vancouver, of Lucia Vega Jimenez, a 42-year-old Mexican woman working to save money to care for her ailing mother. Days before Christmas, she was jailed for not having bus-fare and not having immigration papers! While alone in CBSA cells, awaiting deportation, she tried to hang herself and was not discovered hanging for an hour. No news on this tragedy was released for almost one month. As a Canadian, I am shamed, shamed, shamed by the treatment this woman received at the hands of our government. I hope this horrific tragedy alerts all Canadians to what is happening under this government. Our Canadian compassion is being destroyed, while we become a
nation of prisons and pipelines. The growing agenda to build more prisons — to lock up both immigrants and Canadians is horrifying. Instead of swallowing the on-going fear-mongering regarding refugees, immigrants or terrorists, let’s ponder who the real terrorists are. Let’s talk about the agenda Canadians really fear, perhaps being imposed without our awareness. Let’s have public discussions about our treatment of immigrants and refugees — most of our grandparents might now be jailed or expelled if they had to undergo the current regime’s process’ — many certainly would never be able to pass the increasingly difficult Citizenship tests. How about the investments in building more and more prisons, not to mention pipelines. How about the fact that the prison security is outsourced to security agents with two weeks training — those
who did not look in on Ms. Jimenez for an hour while she was strangling. Canadian compassion remains alive and well — right after hearing of the death of this woman, I heard of folks in Newfoundland spending their afternoon to free a moose trapped in deep snow. This is but one example of Canadian compassion at work. To everyone who volunteers — at food banks, at thrift-stores, anywhere — let’s keep the compassion growing and let’s talk about what is happening to our nation ... and work to ensure this is the Canada we believe in and are proud of, rather than so deeply ashamed of. I urge Canadians to sign the on-line petition asking for an inquiry into the death of Ms. Jimenez in CBSA at Vancouver airporthttp://chn.ge/1kavtbV . Shauna Jimenez Wasa
In happened in Cranbrook
January 26 – February 1 Dave Humphrey
Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1900 Will Have a New Principal and an Assistant Teacher … The school trustees have made arrangements to secure the services of Mr. Ross, who is now teaching in Alberta, to take charge of the Cranbrook School, and he will commence his work about March 1st. E. J. Dutton, the present teacher, has tendered his resignation, to take effect February 28. The board is making arrangements for a second teacher, and will have one employed in time for the change. The Baker storeroom, formerly occupied by G. H Miner, has been secured for the present as the second room, and will be fitted up at once for occupancy. Inspector Burns visited the city last Saturday, and held a conference with Messrs. Reid and Moffat, of the board, and heartily approved of the course pursued by the board to give to the children of Cranbrook adequate school facilities. A Small Strike … The steel gang working on the North Star Branch received their checks this week and Tuesday went on a strike. They were receiving $2, and struck for $2.25. As the work was delayed by the building of a trestle, the men were laid off. Hale Old Age … Sad to see people advanced in years suffering from Backache, Lame Back, Urinary Troubles and Kidney Weakness. A hale old age, free from pains and aches, can only be attained by keeping the kidneys right and the blood pure. Befriend the aged by freeing them from pain and correcting all disorders of the kidneys and urinary system. Mr. Thomas Ash, an old resident of Renfrew, Ont., spoke as follows: “I am 72 years of age, and have been troubled for a number of years with pains across my back. When I would stoop over it gave agonizing pain to straighten up. I was so bad that I could scarcely walk. I have taken many kinds of medicines, but got nothing to help me. Being recommended to try Doan’s Kidney Pills I got a box. After taking three
doses I noticed a great change for the better, and I can now get around as smart as a cricket. I can split my own wood and am, in fact, just like a new man. Buy DOAN’S Kidney Pills Household Hint … Corsets with the whalebones removed make good cleaning cloths. Down with Grip …About half the population of Fort Steele have succumbed to the prevailing epidemic of grip. At one time last week four employees at the government office were down with it. In the Mail … According to a letter received in Fort Steele the other day, Col. Sam Steele, of Strathcona’s Horse, is laid up with enteric fever at Cape Town and was not able to sail for England with the Strathconas. Fellows Install Officers Elect for This Term … Cranbrook Odd Fellows held their first meeting in the new I.O.O.F. Hall last Friday night, and installed the officers elect for the present term. There was a large attendance, and everyone present expressed themselves as more than pleased with the new hall. There is the lodge room proper, the necessary anteroom and a commodious reception room. The new furniture for the lodge room has not all arrived, but when it does the Odd Fellows of Cranbrook will have one of neatest lodge rooms in British Columbia. After the lodge closed a smoker was held and a general good time had. The New Superintendent ... C.J.Bury has been appointed superintendent of the Crows Nest Pass division, with headquarters at Cranbrook, to succeed Mr. Cameron, transferred. Mr. Bury is a railroad man, He has had long experience with men, and he has the reputation of insisting that every man is worthy of his hire, and that everyone should get pay for his work and work for his pay. That is a system that will work in a most beneficial manner to the company and to the men. The Herald welcomes Mr. Bury and trusts that his administration of affairs will bring to him additional renown, He has a great field for his talents.

Letters to the Editor
Lucia Vega Jiminez
Monday, February 3, 2014
Incorporation … The movement for incorporation is a move in the right direction. Cranbrook should be incorporated. It would be to the interests of every property owner, including the C. P. R. The revenues of this town should go toward building up the town. Notice ... Persons found cutting wood of any description on the Cranbrook Estate without written authority, will be prosecuted. V. Hyde Baker, for Cranbrook Estate. 1902 What Is Happening In the Different Secret Societies of Town? … The regular annual installation of officers of Cranbrook Lodge No 34 A. F. & A. M. was held in their lodge room in Leask Hall last Thursday evening, when the officers for the present year were installed by W. Bro. A. Moffat, district deputy grand master, assisted by W. Bros. J. McBride and W. F. Tate. The growth and prosperity of the Masonic Lodge during the two years of its existence in Cranbrook has been most flattering, and reflects great credit upon the officers and members who have been untiring in their efforts for the advancement of the teachings and principles of Masonry, the foundation of all societies. Hockey News ... The scheduled games for the championship of the Crows Nest and the handsome cup offered by A.C. Liphardt of Fernie, have been called off owing to the lateness of the season and the quarantine at Fernie. This action was a disappointment to the Cranbrook boys as they have a strong team this year and were out with a determination to win that cup. New Claim … Messrs. Clarke and Shupe of Slocane City came into Marysville about 10 days ago and began to look around. Whilst walking down below the falls on Mark Creek they came across what seemed to be a galena ledge. They went to work and to-day on the “ Great Falls” mineral claim there is an open cut and tunnel 10 feet long showing a 5 foot ledge between walls and about 3 inches of good looking galena on the hanging wall which is steadily widening. Work will be continued all winter.

Any aspect of Elvis one can think of has been published in book form, ones written by his maid, his various doctors, his neighbours, his step-brother, women who state they were either his true love or lover or both, books about his racism (?), how he is still alive, books about his relationship with mother, books about his DNA, and one coming up about Elvis, the FBI, and the great Pimple Scandal (I only wish I were kidding). Greil Marcus’ ‘Mystery Train’—now in its fifth edition — is still the only book to critically examine Elvis’ music, something most books about him tend to overlook. Marcus’s discusses the King’s impact as an artist, which not only changed music history but world history as well. “The American past looks different than it would have looked without him.” The most chilling description from Marcus comes not from a song, but a photo of Elvis taken at one of his last performances. It was a picture of the overweight Elvis, sweating profusely, make-up running down his face onto the sparkling white-tailed jumpsuit. Obviously exhausted, he is nonetheless smiling into the camera, as if to say “Wouldn’t it have been great if I’d lived.” Now that is a person worth at least 3,000 books.

WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE
Ice collect a pair of wins against Hitmen, Raiders TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
After a midweek setback in Medicine Hat, the Kootenay Ice rediscovered their winning ways over the weekend, defeating the visiting Prince Albert Raiders 4-1 and the Calgary Hitmen 5-2 at Western Financial Place. Saturday night, the EKFH recognized team captain Sam Reinhart with 950 autographed bobble heads up for grabs at the door. Then, five minutes into the contest against the Hitmen, fans got to see one of the rarest plays at any level of hockey. With an empty net and six attackers on the ice on a delayed penalty, Kootenay forward Zach Franko made an errant pass back to the point from the corner that trickled down 200 feet and into a gaping cage. Hitmen goaltender Chris Driedger was the last Calgary player to touch the puck, and was subsequently awarded with the goal—the sixth goaltender in WHL history to collect one. “When something like that
happens, you laugh it off,” said Vetterl. “It’s kind of cool, because you’re probably never going to see it happen again, so it kind of sucks that it’s on your team. “You kind of laugh it off, shrug it off, and get right back on it.” Less than ten seconds later, after Hitmen forward Jake Virtanen went to the box and gave Kootenay the powerplay, Brady Brassart scored a shorthanded goal to make it a two-goal lead. Ice head coach Ryan McGill juggled his lines, putting Tim Bozon up along with Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau, while Franko paired up with Luke Philp and Austin Vetterl, and that seemed to spark the team. Bozon put Kootenay on the board in the second period, sniping a drop pass from Descheneau in the offensive zone, while Vetterl one-timed a feed from Franko on an odd man rush to tie it up 2-2 by the end of the second period. Early in the third period, Bozon tallied again, going bar down on Driedger after picking up a loose
puck in the slot. Calgary then got into some penalty trouble, making six consecutive trips to the sin bin, which seemed to take away their momentum, even though Kootenay failed to score on those powerplays. “Obviously we would’ve liked to get those on the powerplay, make our lives a little easier down the stretch, but it definitely worked in our favour, we knew they were going to press, and we, for the most part, kept it in their end,” said Reinhart. In the final minute, Descheneau and Vetterl both scored separate empty net goals to seal up the 5-2 win. Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski made 21 saves for the win, while Driedger was credited with a goal and 26 stops. Friday’s matchup with the Raiders featured a goaltending duel between Skapski and Prince Albert netminder Cole Cheveldave as it was scoreless late into the second period before both
teams traded goals. Dakota Conroy was first for the Raiders, sniping a shot from the inside hash marks in Kootenay territory, but Franko tied it up less than a minute later, banging in an slick feed from Reinhart while driving to the net. “At the end of the second there, we started getting more pucks and more shots, we hadn’t really tested him [Cheveldave], until halfway through the second, but we did a good job of sticking with it, and I think it paid off,” said Philp. In the third period, Reinhart and World Juniors Team Canada teammate Josh Morrissey mixed it up in the corner, before throwing down the gloves at centre ice for a brief scrap, making it a career-first fight for the Kootenay Ice captain. Morrissey drew an extra unsportsmanlike minor on the play, and Kootenay’s powerplay went to work, capitalizing on a blast from Luke Philp at the side of the faceoff circle. “That fight with Sammy was a big play by him, even though he’s
Mariners run aground against Avs TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
It was a big weekend for the Avalanche. The men swept both games against the visiting Vancouver Island University Mariners, while the women lost a nail-biter in a tiebreak set and dropped a 3-1 decision in the rematch. Despite the losses, the ladies were so close to putting away the cream of the Pacwest crop in both matches. “It’s kind of nice to see us, we showed up today [Saturday], we came together as a team, and we really stuck together the whole time, so that was awesome to see,” said left/right side Madison Hudy, following Saturday’s 4-1 loss to the Mariners. “It wasn’t the same as yesterday, it wasn’t as good I guess, but we still really came together and I feel like our performance was still strong.” Saturday’s game was a close affair, despite the set scores at 19-25, 2519, 18-25, 16-25. The ladies took the lead in a few of those sets, but the Mariners were able to rally from behind and come back to take the win. The night before, on Friday, the women bat-
tled VIU to five sets when the Mariners forced a tiebreak after being down by a set score of 2-1. The Avalanche won the first and the third set (25-21, 25-16), while the Mariners took the second and fourth sets (2515, 25-16). VIU barely edged out the match win by taking the tiebreak set at 15-13. “It was such a good feeling for sure,” said Hudy. “Being that
they’re ranked so high and just coming from the bottom as an underdog, to compete with a team like that, there’s no feeling to describe it.” The men kept their playoff hopes going with a pair of wins over VIU, which keeps them above UFV in the standings, who are also challenging for a berth in provincials. The men got it done on both nights at set scores of 3-1, giving up
the third set in both games before clinching the match in the fourth set. “We played really well, both nights, the first two sets just came to us, all the bounces were going our way, and the third set, we have a curse or something, I don’t know what it is,” said Tyler Remenda. “The third set always gives us a struggle and we got to figure that out as a team before provin-
cials.” Saturday’s game, the Avs won at set scores of 25-16, 25-18, 22-25, 2523. On Friday evening, the Avs were victorious at 25-20, 25-23, 25-27, 25-22. “Our defence needed to be spot on, especially against VIU, because they have such an unorthodox offence. Our team runs a very quick set, everything’s fast and to the outside, while VIU takes it to the other extreme,” said Remenda. “Their sets are all high and loopy and so our blocking has a tough time adjusting to that but I think we found a way and our defence really pulled it through.”
Seahawks crush Broncos to win Super Bowl ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. The Seattle Seahawks have won their first Super Bowl title, crushing the favoured Denver Broncos 43-8. Linebacker Malcolm Smith returned an interception of Peyton Manning 69 yards for a touchdown late in the first half Sunday, and Percy Harvin returned the opening kickoff of the second half 87 yards for another TD. The Seahawks led 36-0 before Denver finally scored on
the last play of the third quarter. Manning was 34 of 49 for 280 yards, but most of that came after Seattle had all but put the game away. He was flustered by Seattle’s fierce defence for most of the first half, throwing two interceptions. The second fluttered into Smith’s hands after Cliff Avril struck the five-time NFL MVP’s arm as he was releasing the ball. Second-year quarterback Russell Wilson was coolly efficient for the Seahawks, throwing for two touchdowns.
Smith named MVP Seattle linebacker Malcolm Smith returned an interception of Peyton Manning 69 yards for a touchdown and later recovered a fumble, earning Super Bowl MVP honours in the Seahawks’ 43-8 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday night. Smith is only the third linebacker in Super Bowl history to earn the award, joining Ray Lewis of Baltimore in 2001, and Chuck Howley of Dallas in 1971.
not known to do that,” said Skapski. “He drew a penalty and we capitalized.” “…It was kind of a goaltending duel and there were chances each way and we ended up getting more pucks to the net and we capitalized on our opportunities.” Kootenay held a 2-1 lead going into the final two minutes, but Bozon managed to find the empty net when the Raiders pulled Cheveldave for an extra attacker. The Raiders goaltender headed back to the crease and was subsequently beat through the five hole by Zak Zborosky right after the face-off at centre ice. The last time the Raiders were in Cranbrook, no penalties were called the entire game. This time around, save for the dustup between Morrissey and Reinhart, only one minor penalty was called. The Eastern Conference is pretty tight but the Ice did climb out of eight place and into seventh, and are separated from fourth place by only three points.
Nitros heat up for wins over Rockets, Rockies TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Nitros are had a big weekend, posting two wins over the Columbia Valley Rockies and Golden Rockets. On Saturday, the Nitros headed up to Invermere, and rode an early lead all the way to a 6-3 win over the Rockies. Dylan Sibbald and Jared Marchi led the way, each with a pair of goals while goaltender Jeremy Mousseau picked up the win with 23 saves. Jerome Thorne scored first for Columbia Valley late in the opening period, but Sibbald responded with 24 seconds on the clock to make it even going into the middle frame. Jared Marchi posted a powerplay goal and Sibbald got his second of the game in the second period for a 3-1 lead after 40 minutes. The Nitros then scored three unanswered goals in the final frame, on efforts from Bryce Nielsen, Marchi and Brandon Becker before the Rockies responded. Logan Kerner and Ryan Henderson both tallied powerplay goals
in the final 10 minutes of the game, but that would not be enough for the Rockies. The Nitros made Rockies goaltender Brody Nelson work in defeat, posting 41 shots on the Columbia Valley netminder. Kimberley hosted the Rockets the night before, pulling ahead scoring twice in the second and third period after a 1-1 draw to end the opening frame. Golden put themselves on the board first, scoring on an early goal from Bowen Alcock before Tyson Klingspohn responded before the halfway mark of the frame on a powerplay goal. Sibbald put the Nitros ahead in the second period on another powerplay goal and Brady Revie made it a twogoal cushion with just under six minutes remaining. Bryce Perpelitz and Marchi both scored in the third period to seal it up for the Dynamiters. Mousseau picked up the win with 19 saves while Brian Parsons made 37 stops in a losing cause for the Rockets.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Both of my parents recently died, and my younger brother was named trustee of their trust. My parents’ home represents the majority of the trust, although it was not on the list of assets. Instead, my brother and his wife are claiming the home as compensation for time they spent with the folks in their last years. This was the first time my siblings and I were notified of this abuse of his position. My brother refuses to provide any information to the beneficiaries. He communicates in generalities and platitudes, refusing to answer our concerns or return phone calls and emails. What can we do? If we contest the trust, we are out of it. Do we hire an attorney to go after him? Do we lien the house? How do we handle this blatant abuse of his position for his own gain? -- Sad in Kansas Dear Kansas: The details of the trust may make it impossible for you to get the results you want, but we have no way of counseling you from here. Please talk to a lawyer who can investigate what action you could take. And then decide whether you want a relationship with your brother, because taking him to court will likely create a permanent estrangement. Money isn’t everything. If he truly did spend more time caring for your parents than the rest of you, he may deserve more than you think. Dear Annie: My spouse and I choose to abstain from alcohol. We don’t do this because we think we are better than others. It is a personal decision based on how alcohol has inflicted hurt on people we love. We have seen families abuse each other when drinking and have had friends and family killed in drunken driving accidents. But it pains us to see how some family members react to our convictions. Over the years, they have distanced themselves by not including us in family gatherings or vacations. Maybe they think we’ll put a damper on their fun by remaining sober, or perhaps our presence makes them feel guilty for continuing to imbibe. My husband and I enjoy the company of our loved ones when they are sober. It is only uncomfortable when various family members become inebriated and start getting loud, profane and insulting. We have tried hard to communicate that we love them and have no problem with reasonable social drinking, only when it gets out of control. Excluding us sends the clear message that they love the bottle more than us. Annie, if only people realized that the only thing that really ends up mattering in life is people, family and the relationships you build. The world would be a better, stronger place. Is there anything we can do? -- Sober but Sad Dear Sober: We agree that alcohol can be very destructive. However, by broadcasting your sobriety as well as your disapproval, you come across as scolds, and the drinking members of your family choose not to be criticized, even tacitly. People are sensitive about their failings and respond poorly to condemnation. If you want more inclusive family gatherings, you will have to say nothing about liquor consumption, yours or anyone else’s. Start by inviting them to a gathering in your home. You don’t need to serve alcohol, but you also don’t have to make an issue of it. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Uncomfortable,” who didn’t want to call her mother-in-law “Mom.” It reminded me a bit of one of my granddaughters. She called her other grandfather “Oxygen Grandpa” because he needed the aid of an oxygen tank. Since I liked my lateday martini, I was called the Olive Grandpa. -- Homosassa, Fla.

South Korea says North Korea agrees to hold talks on reunions of families A ssociated Press
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea says North Korea has agreed to hold talks to discuss arranging reunions of families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War. North Korea last
month agreed to restart the reunions for the first time in more than three years and asked South Korea to pick the date. Seoul subsequently chose Feb. 17-22 and proposed working-level talks to discuss details about the reunions but
Pyongyang hadn’t responded for a week. Seoul’s Unification Ministry says North Korea on Monday proposed the talks take place either on Wednesday or Thursday at a border village and let South Korea choose the
date. Pyongyang has recently toned down its typical rhetoric against Seoul and made a series of conciliatory gestures. Last spring, the country dramatically raised tension by issuing threats to launch nuclear wars.

TIP TOP CHIMNEY
DES MOINES, Iowa — Two Iowa couples decided to tie the knot at this weekend’s bacon festival at the state fairgrounds in Des Moines. Tricia Snider and Tom Watson were the first to wed Saturday at the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival, the Des Moines Register reported (http://dmreg. co/1gEc994 ). Craig
and April Rouch got married a short while later. Watson and Snider say they figured the bacon festival was the perfect location to exchange vows because they enjoy bacon together every weekend. The 47-year-old Watson said his 41-year-old bride is nearly the No. 1 love in his life.
“She’s second only to bacon,’’ Watson said. The chapel where the couple married had a wall full of windows that looked out over an arena full of vendors selling bacon-filled foods. They exchanged vows about staying together “in good times and bacon,’’ but for the most part they kept their ceremony tradi-
tional. Afterward, a cake topped with a bacon-strip bride and groom awaited the couple and their guests. Before Watson, Snider and their guests got to the reception, and the pork loins Watson had wrapped with bacon and smoked, they spent time touring the exhibit halls at the festival.
Aid agencies overwhelmed by demand in Syria in besieged areas ASSOCIATED PRESS
CANBERRA, Australia — A United Nations official says aid agencies have been overwhelmed by demand for food in Syria, with thousands surviving without a regular supply of nourishment for more than a
year because of civil war in the Middle Eastern country. U.N. World Food Program chief executive Ertharin Cousin was in the Australian capital Canberra on Monday for talks with the new Australian government
about the financial needs of the world’s largest humanitarian organization which she leads. The Rome-based American says gaining access to besieged areas was the biggest challenge in feeding the 6.5
million people in need within Syria’s borders. She says 45,000 families in the northeast province of Hassaka were among the Syrians who had survived without regular food deliveries for more than a year.

Japanesehaling vessel, protest ship collide off Antarctica Associated Press
SYDNEY, Australia — A Japanese whaling ship and a protest boat have collided in the remote, icy seas off Antarctica, and both sides are blaming each other for the crash. No one was injured in Sun-
day’s collision, though both ships received minor damage. Protest group Sea Shepherd said the whaling vessels got too close to their ships and crashed into their boat, the Bob Barker. Japan says the Bob Barker got too close to their whaling ship.
Sea Shepherd said the Bob Barker’s bow and anchor were damaged, and Japan said their ship received damage to a railing and its hull. Australia’s Federal Environment Minister ordered an investigation into the collision.

NEW YORK — Philip Seymour Hoffman, who won the Oscar for best actor in 2006 for his portrayal of writer Truman Capote and created a gallery of other vivid characters, many of them slovenly and somewhat dissipated, was found dead Sunday in his apartment with what officials said was a needle in his arm. He was 46. Two law enforcement officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the evidence, said the actor apparently died of a drug overdose. Glassine envelopes containing what were believed to be heroin were found with him, they said. Hoffman — no matinee idol, with his lumpy build and limp blond hair — made his career mostly as a character actor, and was one of the most prolific in the business, plying his craft with a rumpled naturalism that also made him one of the most admired perform-
ers of his generation. The stage-trained actor was nominated for Academy Awards four times in all: for “Capote,’’ ‘’The Master,” ‘’Doubt” and ‘’Charlie Wilson’s War.” He also received three Tony nominations for his work on Broadway, which included an acclaimed turn as the weary and defeated Willy Loman in ‘’Death of a Salesman.” Hoffman spoke candidly over the years about past struggles with drug addiction. After 23 years sober, he admitted in interviews last year to falling off the wagon and developing a heroin problem that led to a stint in rehab. The law enforcement officials said Hoffman’s body was discovered in a bathroom at his Greenwich Village apartment by a friend who made the 911 call and his assistant. Hoffman’s family called the news “tragic and sudden.’’ Hoffman is survived by his partner of 15 years, Mimi O’Donnell, and their three children. In one of his earliest

Philip Seymour Hoffman: 1967-2014 screen roles, he played a spoiled prep school student in “Scent of a Woman’’ in 1992. One of his breakthroughs came as a gay member of a porno film crew in “Boogie Nights,’’ one of several movies directed by Paul Thomas Anderson that he would eventually appear in. He often played comic, slightly off-kilter characters in movies like “Along Came Polly,’’ ‘’The Big Lebowski” and ‘’Almost Famous.” More recently, he was
Plutarch Heavensbee in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’’ and was reprising that role in the two-part sequel, “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay,’’ which is in the works. And in “Moneyball,’’ he played Art Howe, the grumpy manager of the Oakland Athletics who resisted new thinking about baseball talent. He was nominated for the 2013 Academy Award for best supporting actor for his role in “The Master’’ as the charismatic leader of a reli-
gious movement. The film, inspired in part by the life of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, reunited the actor with Anderson. He also received a 2009 best-supporting nomination for “Doubt,’’ as a priest who comes under suspicion because of his relationship with a boy, and another best-supporting nomination as a CIA officer in “Charlie Wilson’s War.’’ Born in 1967 in Fairport, N.Y., Hoffman was interested in acting from an early age, mesmerized at 12 by a local production of Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons.’’ He studied theatre as a teenager with the New York State Summer School of the Arts and the Circle in the Square Theatre. He then majored in drama at New York University. In his Oscar acceptance speech for “Capote,’’ he thanked his mother for raising him and his three siblings alone, and for taking him to his first play. Hoffman’s parents divorced when he was 9. He could seemingly take
on any role, large or small, loathsome or sympathetic, and appeared to be utterly lacking in vanity. On Broadway, in addition to starring as Willy Loman, he played Jamie in “Long Day’s Journey Into Night’’ and both leads in “True West.’’ All three performances were Tony-nominated. His 2012 performance in “Death of a Salesman’’ was praised as “heartbreaking’’ by AP theatre critic Mark Kennedy. “Hoffman is only 44, but he nevertheless sags in his brokenness like a man closer to retirement age, lugging about his sample cases filled with his self-denial and disillusionment,’’ Kennedy wrote. “His fraying connection to reality is pronounced in this production, with Hoffman quick to anger and a hard edge emerging from his babbling.’’ Two films starring Hoffman premiered last month at the Sundance Film Festival: the espionage thriller “A Most Wanted Man’’ and “God’s Pocket.’’
